Philippine typhoon deaths climb into thousands

Project Search does team building

T A C L O B A N , Philippines (AP) — As many as 10,000 people are believed dead in one Philippine city alone after one of the worst storms ever recorded unleashed ferocious winds and giant waves that washed away homes and schools.

Corpses hung from tree branches and were scattered along sidewalks and among flattened buildings, while looters raided grocery stores and gas stations in search of food, fuel and water.

Officials projected the death toll could climb even higher when

emergency crews reach areas cut off by flooding and landslides. Even in the disaster-prone Philippines, which regularly contends with earthquakes, volcanoes and tropical cyclones, Typhoon Haiyan appears to be the deadliest natural disaster on record.

Haiyan hit the eastern seaboard of the Philippine archipelago on Friday and quickly barreled across its central islands before exiting into the South China Sea, packing winds of 235 kilometers per hour (147 miles per hour) that

It wasn’t until Sunday that the scale of the devastation became clear, with local officials on hardesthit Leyte Island saying that there may be 10,000 dead in the provincial capital of Tacloban alone.

Reports also trickled in from elsewhere on the island, and from neighboring islands, indicating hundreds, if not thousands of more deaths, though it will be days before See TYPHOON | 2

Giving back

Armstrong offering free dental service to veterans this month Colin Foster

Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Dr. Mark T. Armstrong, D.D.S. is taking the concept of Veterans Day and turning into an entire month.

Armstrong, a 1981 graduate of Troy High School who has more than 20 years of dentistry experience, is offering up to $1,000 of free dental services for veterans for the entire month of November.

“I’ve seen other people do something like this before,” Armstrong said.

“On Veterans Day, they’ll do work all day, donating work to veterans.

Unfortunately, I’m out of town on this Veterans Day, so we decided well why not just do it all month? And that way we can just get more people in.

“When I’ve seen other people do it before, it really seemed like a neat idea.

I thought it was a good way to give back.”

Armstrong is anticipating a busy month, but it’s something he and his staff are more than willing to take on.

This past week, there were three veter-

ans that came in for dental treatment, but Armstrong is hopeful the word will spread about what they’re offering at his office, located at 1930 Prime Court, Suite 101, Troy.

“I’m sure it will be very busy, but we always try to leave time for emergencies and things like that,” he said. “We’re going to work as much as we can to see as many people as we can.”

Armstrong returned to practice in his hometown after graduating from Case School of Dental Medicine in 1989.

He has a long list of achievements in his career. Armstrong was inducted into the Pierre Fauchard Academy and the International College of Dentists in 2002. In 2006, he was awarded the Ohio Dental Association Marvin Fisk Humanitarian Award.

But what really stands out when you look at Armstrong’s career is that he has always had a knack for giving back through his profession.

He was one of 10 dentists called to serve on the first forensic odontologist See GIVING | 2

TROY — Troy Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic has again achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence following a thorough re-evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association.

Troy Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic, which opened in 1976, earned AAHA accreditation after a rigorous review of the hospital’s patient care, practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service. AAHA is the only organization in the United States and

Canada that accredits companion animal hospitals based on standards that go above and beyond state regulations.

“It’s an incredibly indepth and labor intensive process,” said Kay LeVan, practice manager. “But, it’s a goal. It’s something that Dr. (Lonnie) Davis set out to do. We just want to offer that higher standard to our patients.

“We choose to offer this level of care.”

LeVan said Dr. Davis is a board certified veterinarian and can do procedures that others cannot.

Typhoon From page 1 the full extent of the storm’s impact can be assessed.

“On the way to the airport we saw many bodies along the street,” said Philippineborn Australian Mila Ward, 53, who was waiting at the Tacloban airport to catch a military flight back to Manila, about 580 kilometers (360 miles) to the northwest.

“They were covered with just anything — tarpaulin, roofing sheets, cardboards.” She said she passed “well over 100” dead bodies along the way.

Haiyan raced across the eastern and central Philippines, inflicting serious damage to at least six of the archipelago’s more than 7,000 islands, with Leyte, neighboring Samar Island, and the northern part of Cebu appearing to take the hardest hits. It weakened as it crossed the South China Sea before approaching northern Vietnam, where it was forecast to hit land either late Sunday night or early Monday morning.

On Leyte, regional police chief Elmer Soria said the provincial governor had told him there were about 10,000 deaths there, primarily from drowning and collapsed buildings. Most of the deaths were in Tacloban, a city of about 200,000 that is the biggest on Leyte Island.

On Samar, Leo Dacaynos of the provincial disaster office said 300 people were confirmed dead in one town and another 2,000 were missing, while some towns have yet to be reached by rescuers. He pleaded for food and water and said power was out and there was no cellphone signal, making communication possible only by radio.

Reports from the other affected islands indicated

dozens, perhaps hundreds more deaths.

Television footage from Eastern Samar province’s Guiuan township — the first area where the typhoon made landfall — showed a trail of devastation. Many houses were flattened and roads were strewn with debris and uprooted trees. The ABSCBN footage showed several bodies laid out on the street, covered only with blankets.

“Even me, I have no house, I have no clothes. I don’t know how I will restart my life, I am so confused,” an unidentified woman said, crying. “I don’t know what happened to us. We are appealing for help. Whoever has a good heart, I appeal to you — please help Guiuan.”

A massive relief operation was underway, but the Philippine National Red Cross said its efforts were being hampered by looters, including some who attacked trucks of food and other relief supplies the agency was shipping Sunday from the southern port city of Davao to Tacloban.

With other rampant looting being reported, President Benigno Aquino III said Sunday that he was considering declaring a state of emergency or martial law in Tacloban, as city officials have proposed. The national disaster agency can recommend such a measure if the local government is unable to carry out its functions, Aquino said.

A state of emergency usually includes curfews, price and food supply controls, military or police checkpoints and increased security patrols.

The massive casualties occurred even though the government had evacuated nearly 800,000 people ahead

Armstrong also works in the National Disaster Medical System with DMORT Region 5. He assisted victims of Hurricane Katrina by taking a mobile dental office to Louisiana and working on emergency and urgent care patients.

This marks the first time Armstrong has offered free dental service to veterans.

“I wanted to give back to the veterans. They give so much, and so we wanted to offer any active or repaired combat veteran dental work.

They give so much — and this was just our way to give back,” Armstrong said.

of the typhoon. About 4 million people were affected by the storm, the national disaster agency said.

Aquino flew around Leyte by helicopter on Sunday and landed in Tacloban to get a firsthand look at the disaster. He said the government’s priority was to restore power and communications in isolated areas and deliver relief and medical assistance to victims.

Challenged to respond to a disaster of such magnitude, the Philippine government also accepted help from its U.S. and European allies.

In Washington, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel directed the military’s Pacific Command to deploy ships and aircraft to support searchand-rescue operations and airlift emergency supplies.

The United Nations office in Geneva said in a statement Sunday that the U.N. and the “humanitarian community have ramped up critical relief operations,” but that access remains a challenge because some areas are still cut off.

Pope Francis led tens of thousands of people at the Vatican in silent prayer for the victims of the typhoon.

The Philippines has the largest number of Catholics in Asia, and Filipinos are one of Rome’s biggest immigrant communities.

The Philippines is annually buffeted by tropical storms and typhoons, which are called hurricanes and cyclones elsewhere on the planet.

“Retail” is the first-ever syndicated comic strip to focus solely on this service sector. It presents a hilarious look at the retail industry by chronicling the daily events at the fictitious Grumbel’s department store.

The new page also includes a popular crossword puzzle whose degree of difficulty increases with each day of the week. Readers also will be treated to a

Sudoku puzzle.

The addition of the new content means some of the comics that used to appear in the Troy Daily News are being replaced. Lawitz realizes this may be upsetting to some readers.

“Every feature in a newspaper has its hard-core fans. We realize this. But it’s also important to try new things, and we feel if they give this new content a chance, they’ll enjoy the changes.”

Animal From page 1 boasts a full in-house lab, according to LeVan. “We can do the testing here to find the more obscure diagnosis. We rarely send someone elsewhere,” LeVan said.

“With the exception of cancer, we do not do oncology.”

Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited, according to the AAHA. But, she said, the practice’s anesthetic program is top-notch and as safe as is possible.

“So elderly patients and the frail can go under anesthesia at our practice with a great deal of confidence that everything is going to go fine,” LeVan

said. “There is very little difference between a surgery done at our office than that done at a local hospital.”

Accredited hospitals are the only hospitals that choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state and provincial regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry, and are consistently at the forefront of advanced veterinary medicine. AAHA standards are continuously reviewed and updated to keep accredited practices on the

cutting edge of veterinary excellence.

“I would like to congratulate Troy Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic on vigilantly keeping up with advancements in veterinary medicine and adhering to the Association’s high standards,” said Michael Cavanaugh, DVM, DABVP, AAHA chief executive officer. “They are clearly committed to doing their very best as evidenced by the hard work and effort they put into this voluntary process.”

LeVan said the staff of 20 aren’t just employees of the practice.

“Everyone here has that call,” she said.

LeVan said every technician is

licensed and receives continuing education hours every year, instead of every two years, which is what is required.

“If people come, they can expect a higher quality of care,” LeVan said.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio motorists will soon be able to choose from 255 different specialty license plates after three new ones are added later this month.

Our Troops,” ”Fish Ohio” or “Visit Our Zoos.”

Ohio also offers 58 different plate logos for colleges and universities. Ohio State University is the top seller, with 23,249 sold. The sales generated more than $600,000 in scholarship money for the university and more than $289,000 in extra fees for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The specialty plates generally cost $15 to $25 more than a standard one.

Specialty plate sales generated $3 million last year for university scholarship funds, research efforts, children’s sports leagues, foundations, counseling programs and more. State records showed they generated $2.6 million in fees for the motor vehicles bureau.

Some specialty plates do not generate revenue for outside organizations. For example, no one profited from the sale of 10,242 “One Nation Under God” plates issued last year.

Some of the tags require membership or licenses, such as the Realtor “Sold on Ohio” plate or the Civil Air Patrol or Amateur Radio plates. Others are reserved for military service members and their families.

Project Search uses outdoors for team building lessons MIAMI COUNTY — Upper Valley Project SEARCH took a journey on the wild side recently with 11 interns participating in an outdoor leadership and team building program.

Project SEARCH is a one-year, high school transition program that provides training and education with the goal of competitive community employment for individuals with disabilities. The Upper Valley Project SEARCH interns engaged in a series of outdoor adventures coordinated by the Wilderness Inquiry Canoe Mobile program. The program is a non-profit organization that provides all people access to the outdoors.

The activities were paid for with a grant from the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation.

The Project SEARCH interns serving at Upper Valley Medical Center for the next year received employment-related skills from this opportunity including: interviewing, dealing with others, team building, mobility, defining and overcoming fears and making life choices such as healthier

meal selections. This is the fourth year for the Upper Valley Project SEARCH collaboration between the Upper Valley Career Center, Upper Valley Medical Center, Boards of Developmental Disabilities in Miami and Shelby counties, the state Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation and Capabilities Inc. The program Oct. 10-12 was held on land and water.

Participants spent part of one day on the UVMC campus working on team building and leadership activities. Among these activities were tent set up and tear down, a trust fall exercise and healthy meal project, including making the day soda-free.

The goals were to develop a realization of ways to exercise, relax with friends, and recognize the beauty of the environment and the desire to seek out other local outdoor opportunities. “ These activities empowered the interns to problem solve, define personal space and develop a real sense of ‘what they bring to the table,’” said Patti Moore, Project SEARCH coordinator.

She said the UVMC campus provided a great learning environment.

Other activities included paddle safety instruction, exposure to public parks and time in canoes on the Great Miami River and Lake Loramie, in Shelby County.

Members of the Upper Valley Project SEARCH Alumni group also had the opportunity the tap into the Wilderness Inquiry experience on Lake Loramie. Similar skill sets were taught concluding with a two-hour paddle “ The Wilderness Inquiry program went beyond my expectations for interns to be empowered. I love my job and desire that each person with a disability has the same opportunity to discover what they are born to do,” Moore said.

“This ‘wilderness experience’ has opened doors, empowered these interns, and has made a lasting impression that is affecting their personal career journey.”

The program will resume in May when the Project SEARCH interns will participate in a camping trip.

A Veterans Day with fewer vets Dale McFeatters Scripps Howard News Service

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP

At many fancy banquets in Washington, D.C., it’s customary for the band to play the official songs of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. And it is the custom of audience members who’ve served with those branches of our military to stand at attention.

Each year, fewer and fewer do — and they’re older and grayer but visibly proud of their service. On Monday, we honor veterans with a holiday meant to mark the end of that human meat grinder known as World War I. First celebrated in 1919 as Armistice Day, it now pays tribute to all who have served their country in uniform.

Last year, there were 2l.2 million veterans in the United States, but their numbers, thanks to the fine grinding of the actuarial tables, are fast dwindling: 9.6 million of them are older than 65 and 1.8 million of them younger than 35.

It is a clear imbalance but not necessarily a bad one. We are fighting no great wars, and this administration is making only token efforts to get involved in small ones. We are, as much as we’ve ever been, a nation at peace, and we are willing to spend as much as the rest of the world combined to keep it that way.

But even as Veterans Day approached, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was wheeling and dealing with Congress to ward off further budget cuts. He has complained that projected cutbacks of $1 trillion during the next decade will weaken the muscle and bone of military readiness.

The cutbacks have changed America’s longstanding strategy of being able to fight two large wars and one smaller one simultaneously. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno warns that if the Army continues to shrink, the military might not be able to deal with even one contingency.

Our country has often been taken by surprise and unprepared to find itself at war. But we have always risen to the occasion, and in eye-opening ways.

The universal draft threw together Ivy Leaguers, farm boys, intellectuals and illiterates that the armed forces trained for battle in World War II. In four years, they helped to defeat two great military powers. Later troops, first as draftees and then volunteers, served on battlefields in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and elsewhere — or strove to keep peace.

On Veterans Day, we must thank our veterans — and we must nurture the generations that will take their place. One day, they too will stand tall when the band strikes up the service songs.

Idaho Statesman on as health care fight lingers, nation’s work must be done: If you didn’t like what was happening in Congress in 2013, get ready for more of the same in 2014. We see no reason to believe anything is going to change until one party seizes complete power in the House, Senate and the White House.

Raul Labrador’s visit to our Editorial Board on Thursday was Exhibit A. Explaining that he and a like-minded segment of the House Republican Caucus are in it for the long run, he reiterated that he was not elected to rubber-stamp initiatives for the Senate and the White House. Fights over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will continue.

Labrador made no apologies for his or any other Republican’s involvement in the government shutdown. He is not about to sit back and take what he perceives to be legislation that will inflict hardship on Americans.

That $24 billion cost of the shutdown? He estimates that the loss of productivity and added burden on consumers surrounding the health care law will quickly surpass that.

Though we appreciate efforts to reduce spending and government intrusion into our lives, we think the tactic to defund/delay the ACA was a bust. If Republicans had done nothing, the troubled rollout of the law would have been their best no-talking point.

A bright spot: Labrador began our meeting discussing a bipartisan bill he has co-

sponsored with Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va. It offers judges alternatives to mandatory sentencing guidelines that could reduce federal prison costs and allow the system to focus on more serious crimes.

We hope for similar progress on topics such as immigration and tax reform.

Lawmakers should find points they agree on — such as approaches to guest worker programs and upping the ante for high-tech worker visas. Small victories and collaborative discussions in these areas could reveal pathways to bigger things.

The Australian on intelligence sharing vital to Australia and Indonesia: On one level, Jakarta’s indignant reaction to claims of a joint US-Australian effort to spy on Indonesian officials during the UN climate summit in Bali in December 2007 was predictable.

As with Germany’s response to revelations that America’s National Security Agency tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel’s telephone, the revelation, which is front-page news in Jakarta, has drawn out Indonesian nationalism.

On another level, governments tend to feign outrage in such situations. Indonesia would be under no illusions about Australia listening to its communications. As Michael McKinley, a senior lecturer in global politics at the Australian National University, said on Sunday, nations not involved in such activities “either lack the technical expertise or the finance. It’s not because of virtue”.

Or perhaps they are not so ordinary after all. It certainly isn’t an ordinary person who volunteers for hazardous duty.

Final toast to WWII Doolittle Raiders: ‘Peace’

DAYTON (AP) — Known as the Doolittle Raiders, the 80 men who risked their lives on a World War II bombing mission on Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor were toasted one last time by their surviving comrades and honored with a Veterans Day weekend of fanfare shared by thousands.

Three of the four surviving Raiders attended the toast Saturday at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Their late commander, Lt. Gen. James “Jimmy” Doolittle, started the tradition but they decided this autumn’s ceremony would be their last.

AREA BRIEFS in service trip INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Courtney Hittepole of Troy was one of 26 Butler University students to participate in Fall Alternative Break, an annual service trip where Butler students travel to various locations throughout the United States to assist communities in need in various ways. Each year, the location and project conducted are changed, but the basic service premise behind the trip remains the same.

Students traveled to Mullens, W.Va., for this year’s Fall Alternative Break, where they worked with the Rural Appalachia Improvement

League to build trails and clean up a local park in the community.

Troy resident competes VIENNA, Va. — Troy resident Angel Karr recently traveled to Vienna, Va., to compete in the Working Wounded Games, a CrossFit competition for severely wounded veterans and permanently injured civilians.

Karr, a mother of six, was born a partial right hand amputee, but thrived in the competition with the help of custom-designed prosthetic technology created and fit

by Hanger Clinic prosthetist Michelle Poeppelman.

Poeppelman designed

Karr’s upper extremity prosthesis specifically for CrossFit movements that were previously restricted by the loss of Karr’s hand.

The prosthetic arm includes a custom silicone socket that provides secure suction suspension, and the arm allows for a variety of attachments that can be changed depending on the activity Karr is performing.

The single day fitness challenge was held at CrossFit Rubicon — one of nearly 8,000 CrossFit affiliates worldwide. The competition allowed 38 adaptive athletes to test their fitness in varying capacities. Each athlete

performed four of a variety of events which included sledpulls, Olympic weightlifting, rowing, one-armed deadlifts and more.

Locally, Karr is a member of Practice CrossFit in Troy.

New rule demands parity for mental health coverage WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s final: Health insurance companies must cover mental illness and substance abuse just as they cover physical diseases.

The Obama administration issued new regulations Friday that spell out how a 5-year-old mental health parity law will be administered.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the rule should put an end to discrimination faced by some mental health patients through higher out-of-pocket costs or stricter limits on hospital stays or visits to the doctor.

The law, signed by President George W. Bush, was designed to prevent that. But mental health advocates said health insurers at times sidestepped lawmakers’ intentions by delaying requests for care and putting in place other bureaucratic hurdles. They described the new Obama administration rule as necessary to ensure patients get benefits they are entitled to receive.

The administration had

pledged to issue a final mental health parity rule as part of an effort to reduce gun violence. Officials said they have now completed or made significant progress on 23 executive actions that were part of a plan announced in response to the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., last December.

The 2008 mental health parity law affects large group plans.

It does not require they offer mental health coverage, but if they do, that coverage must be equal to what is provided for patients with physical illnesses. Meanwhile, the Affordable Care Act extends the parity protections for those participating in individual and small group health insurance plans.

“For way too long, the health care system has openly discriminated against Americans with behavioral health problems,” Sebelius said in a telephone conference call with reporters.

“We are finally closing these gaps in coverage.”

Sebelius said that access to mental health coverage had

already been improving since passage of the 2008 mental health parity law. She noted that larger employer health insurance plans have eliminated higher cost-sharing for inpatient mental health care and said most plans have done the same for outpatient care.

HHS officials said mental health services generally amount to only about 5 percent of a large group insurance plan’s spending, so there should be limited impact on premiums.

They said the small group and individual plans being made available through health insurance exchanges already reflect the parity requirements.

Health insurers said the final rule doesn’t really change the landscape they’ve been operating in since interim rules were released in 2010. Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of American’s Health Insurance Plans, said health plans have long supported the legislation and have worked to implement its requirements in an affordable and effective way for

patients.

The group said it doesn’t have cost estimates for compliance with the regulation.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness called the parity regulations the crowning achievement of a 20-year campaign, but also said that the regulations don’t cover managed care plans through Medicaid or the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, excluding about 15 percent of Americans covered by health insurance.

“Some of our most vulnerable people are still being left behind,” said Michael Fitzpatrick, the group’s executive director.

Gil Kerlikowske, director of the National Drug Control Policy Office at the White House, said the rule builds on the need to treat drug problems as a public health issue and not just as a criminal justice issue. He said about 23 million Americans have a substance abuse disorder, but only about 1 in 10 gets the treatment they need.

“Access to drug treatment shouldn’t be a privilege to a few who can afford it. It should be provided to everyone who needs it,” Kerlikowske said.

Lawmakers instrumental in passing the health parity law had grown impatient with how long it was taking to fully implement it.

“While I am clearly frustrated that this wasn’t done sooner, I understand that they had a lot of other things on their plate,” said former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., adding that it would be ungrateful not to take into account progress made on other fronts through the health care overhaul.

Kennedy went public about his own struggle with addiction after crashing his car into a barricade near the Capitol in 2006; he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after winning election to Congress in 1994.

“Ending insurance discrimination against pre-existing conditions is the single biggest mental health bill we could get,” Kennedy said.

Powerful new painkiller Zohydro stirs fears of overdose, addiction pany that makes OxyContin, introduced a tamper-resistant form of the pill in 2010, making it harder to crush or dissolve, and experts say that has helped cut down on abuse Zohydro does not now include such features.

Zogenix, the company that makes Zohydro, has “started the development of an abuse deterrent formulation of Zohydro ER and we are committed to advancing the program as rapidly as possible,” the company’s president, Stephen Farr, said in a statement.

“That the FDA has approved another incredibly powerful painkiller without (tamper-proof features) is both disconcerting and dangerous,” said Jeffrey Reynolds, executive director of the Long Island, N.Y., Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, who testified before the expert panel in opposition to Zohydro’s approval without safety features. “While this drug might be a godsend for people with acute pain, it’s a potential nightmare for those struggling with or at risk for addiction.”

An FDA advisory panel of experts in December 2012 voted 11-2 against approval of Zohydro because of concerns it would be abused.

But the FDA isn’t bound by advisory opinions and has gone against panel decisions before.

Spice up your workout — change it up SHNS — Are you becoming bored with your exercise routine, maybe even noticing that your body doesn’t seem to be making any progress?

Boredom can wreak havoc with exercisecommitment vows, and it’s very easy to become bored when you fall into an exercise rut, continually repeating the same exercise movements over and over. When this happens, your body begins to get used to the exercise, and within six to eight

weeks, muscular adaptation takes place.

This is not to suggest there is anything wrong with following a consistent, repetitive routine.

Some people are content to remain at their current level. However, to stimulate progress and maximize your workout both physically and mentally, you need to spice up your workout routine by changing it up.

SHNS — Going against the recommendation of its own panel of outside advisers, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a powerful, pure hydrocodone painkiller that lacks features to deter abuse.

Law enforcement agencies and drug-addiction experts say the new opioid pain pill, Zohydro ER, will likely create more addicts and cause overdose deaths to increase.

Zohydro will be the first pure hydrocodone medication available in the United States. It is expected to reach the market early next year.

Current forms of the medication, such as Vicodin, are combined with weaker painkillers like acetaminophen. Because of its purity, Zohydro is potentially 10 times stronger when abused than any version of hydrocodone medication currently available, experts say.

Hydrocodone belongs to the opioid family of medications, a highly addictive group of drugs that includes morphine, codeine, methadone and oxycodone, which officials say is one of the most abused, and deadly drugs.

Opioid pain pills designed to release a drug over time, like Zohydro, are often crushed and snorted by addicts seeking a stronger, immediate high, law enforcement officials have said.

2. Vary intensity: Introduce interval workouts. Alternating highintensity bursts of exercise with recovery periods will boost the calorie burn.

3. Upbeat music: Good for cardio workouts.

Keeping in tempo with the beat encourages you to change your pace frequently. A study from the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise found that people on stationary bikes cycled faster and covered more distance when faster music was playing.

4. Compound exercises: Isolation exercises are when you train only one major muscle group at a time. Compound exercises engage multimuscle groups, such as a squat, which targets many muscles in the lower body and core.

5.

Cross-training: Performing different activities will provide new challenges, as you will be using your body in many different ways.

6. Change equipment: Introduce stability balls, medicine balls, jump ropes, resistance bands, body cords, body bars and balance boards.

Your move!

The plank This basic floor exercise strengthens the upper body, lower body and the core. Lying on stomach, lift slightly off floor, supported by lower

arms and toes. Contract abdominals and, without arching back, hold plank position for 30 to 60 seconds, head relaxed and looking toward floor.

Beginners should hold the position for 10 seconds.

Standing triceps extension Strengthens back of upper arms. Standing tall, feet hip-width apart and abs contracted, hold medicine ball straight over head. With arms close to sides of head, bend elbows to lower ball toward upper back.

Slowly extend arms from elbows, returning arms to original position. Do eight to 16 reps.

Knee-tuck to chest Targets shoulders, chest, hips, glutes and abs. Place hands shoulder-width apart on a stability ball, head in alignment with shoulders, extending legs to back, toes on floor. Contract abdominals, tucking knee in toward chest. Pause and return leg to original position. Perform eight to 16 reps and then repeat with opposite leg. If you need more stability, place ball against a wall.

— If you are 50 or older and have not been exercising, check with your physician before beginning any exercise program.

Gay congressman: Coming out has been good PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — When the intensely private Rep. Mike Michaud laid bare his private life and announced he’s gay, one openly gay congressman joked that the Maine Democrat had never registered on his “gaydar.”

As he prepares to return to Capitol Hill this week as the seventh openly gay member of the U.S. House, Michaud said the decision to come out this week was a positive experience that drew support from fellow congressmen and hundreds of constituents — even if it was political nastiness that prompted his announcement.

“People know me as Mike. They know my issues are veteran issues, economic development, health care and jobs, and nothing is going to change,” he said.

Michaud, who’s engaged in a threeway race for governor, used an op-ed provided to two newspapers and The Associated Press to disclose he’s gay, saying he did so to address “whisper campaigns, insinuations and push-polls” that raised questions about his sexuality.

He said constituents have been supportive, with many finding his honesty refreshing.

Several members of Congress including Democratic Reps. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts and David Cicilline of Rhode Island have reached out to show support, as well.

Among them was Republican Rep.

AP Photo Rep. Mike Michaud, right, accepts the endorsement for governor from members of the Maine Association of Police and the Professional Fire Fighters of Maine, Friday in Portland, Maine.

Jeff Miller of Florida, chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, who works closely with Michaud, the committee’s ranking Democrat.

“Mike Michaud is my friend and colleague. He is a strong ally in advocating for veterans and his recent announcement does nothing to change that,” Miller said.

Before Michaud’s announcement, there were six openly gay members of the U.S. House. Michaud’s sexual orientation was as much a surprise to at least some of them as it was to Mainers.

Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who is gay,

AP Photo Family and friends pick up bloody items that were left in the yard at 7318 Enchanted Creek in Cypress, Texas, Sunday, after two people were killed and at least 22 others were injured Saturday night when gunfire rang out at a large house party in a Houston suburb, sending partygoers fleeing in panic, authorities said. Authorities say they’re seeking two gunmen.

Texas party ‘not rowdy’ before gunfire; 2 dead HOUSTON (AP) — A burst of gunfire at an 18-year-old girl’s birthday party Saturday night left two dead, another two critically injured and dozens hurt in a chaotic scene where people jumped from second-floor windows to escape the shooting at a suburban Houston home.

More than 100 people, mostly 17- to 19-year-olds, had gathered at the home in Cypress, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said. Partygoer Shaniqua Brown told The Associated Press it “was not rowdy at all,” and many people were dancing when they heard the shots, which police said were fired between 11:30 p.m. and midnight.

Authorities say they’re seeking two gunmen.

A man and woman died — one at the scene and another at a hospital. They have not been identified by name. As many as 22 were hurt, with injuries ranging from gunshot wounds to twisted ankles by those fleeing in panic. Sheriff’s spokesman Thomas Gilliland said Sunday authorities are still trying to determine the condition for many of the injured.

He said deputies were confronted with “mass chaos” when they responded to the call in this residential neighborhood about 25 miles northwest of Houston, adding that “kids were literally everywhere.” He said witnesses reported partygoers jump-

ing from the second floor in their scramble to flee.

Mariah Boulden told the Houston Chronicle it was her birthday party.

She said her brother and others were patting down people as they entered her home. Two men refused to be searched and walked away, she told the newspaper, then apparently hopped a neighbor’s fence and entered through a back gate.

“They wasn’t supposed to be here whoever they was,” Boulden said.

Brown said gunshots began in the house and continued outside as people ran into the streets seeking cover. She told the AP she saw one gunman when she ran outside to escape.

Pools of blood were visible outside the two-story brick home Sunday, and the garage door was bent after people had pushed it upward while trying to escape.

Karen Briones was visiting relatives in the neighborhood, which is about 25 miles northwest of downtown Houston.

“Girls were crying and screaming, banging on people’s doors asking them for help and to call 911,” she told the newspaper.

The sheriff’s statement said those hurt were taken to at least five area medical centers or hospitals, some by paramedics and some in private vehicles. Gilliland said some people were shot in the foot, ankle and hip.

tweeted in surprise after Michaud’s announcement that “My #gaydar missed it.” He also reached out to lend support.

“I conveyed to him that I felt it was great that he has this load off his shoulders and I know he’ll be an even more effective servant for the people of Maine,” he said.

Back in Maine, political observers said Michaud’s announcement likely won’t have a big impact on the governor’s race. Voters here approved gay marriage a year ago.

Michaud continued a regular schedule of public events after mak-

ing his announcement. On Friday, the Maine Association of Police and the Professional Fire Fighters endorsed Michaud over Republican Gov. Paul LePage, the incumbent, and wealthy independent Eliot Cutler.

Michaud’s sexual orientation was never mentioned.

“Mike was the same person six years ago when I knew him,” said John Martell, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Maine. “He’s the same person today. It makes no difference whatsoever.”

Michaud, for his part, has never been one to discuss his personal life. He informed his mother that he was gay just hours before announcing it to the world.

He said he doesn’t have a partner and said his private life is “boring.”

“I don’t have a very exciting life, other than public work,” he said. When he’s not in Washington, Michaud is usually traveling the vast 2nd Congressional District to meet constituents.

Polis said he fully expects his colleague to dive back to work on Tuesday, when he’s due to return to Washington after attending Veterans Day events in Maine.

“It’s clear he doesn’t intend to make a big deal out of it,” Pollis said. “It’s done and he’s ready to get back to work.”

The shutdown’s surprise effect on jobs numbers WASHINGTON (AP) — The government shutdown may have affected October’s jobs numbers.

But not how you think.

For weeks, the White House had been bracing for a bad report on hiring. Like pregame analysts ahead of a lopsided sports match, White House economists and aides lowered expectations and blamed October’s partial government shutdown for the inevitable bad news to come.

Then Friday’s numbers materialized and stunned the prognosticators. Employers appeared to have ignored the shutdown and hired away to the tune of 204,000 jobs in October.

The shutdown, it seemed, had had no effect.

Not so fast. In the height of irony, the 16 days of federal worker furloughs and government disruptions may have helped, not hurt, the improved jobs picture.

Typically, jobs numbers are announced on the first Friday of the month. Because of the shutdown, however, the Bureau of Labor Statistics delayed the release of the jobs numbers by one week to allow more time to collect payroll and household data. That extra time resulted in an above average response rate for payroll data.

So, not to get hung up on numbers, but the average participation rate by employers in payroll surveys for the nine months before

October was 76.4 percent. That meant that in subsequent months, as more data was collected, the hiring numbers were adjusted, often upward.

In October, with an extra week to collect data, the participation rate was 83.5 percent, the highest ever.

A robust hiring number, to some economists, now felt slightly inflated.

“It seems that when the initial response rate is high, the initial payroll number is often, though certainly not always, stronger than the prior trend,” Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote in a research note.

In other words, if the jobs numbers in prior months were based on a lower participation rate, a stronger participation rate would skew the number up.

“Tentatively, we think the effect of this could explain all the overshoot in payrolls,” Shepherdson wrote.

As a result, some economists are predicting that when the October numbers are updated, they might be in for a downward revision and that November could yield a lower number as well.

“Businesses may have inadvertently counted employment for an extra week,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

“That could juice up the number.

That may mean that we actually get surprised next month with a much weaker number.”

The shutdown had another effect on the employment data.

Besides conducting a survey of employers, which gives data on actual hiring, the government also surveys households to determine the unemployment rate.

Furloughed federal employees were considered unemployed during the shutdown and thus contributed to the increase in the unemployment rate in October from 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent. Without the furloughs, the unemployment rate would have dropped.

Complicating things, some furloughed employees were counted as still employed. As a result, if they had been properly listed as unemployed, the jobless rate for October could have been higher than 7.3 percent.

But those are temporary anomalies and they won’t affect the November unemployment rate.

Even with data showing more hiring in the month, President Barack Obama on Friday stuck with the White House theme that the shutdown “harmed our jobs market.”

“The unemployment rate still ticked up and we don’t yet know all the data for this final quarter of the year, but it could be down because off what happened in Washington,” he said.

Pentagon report shows spike in Afghan troop fatalities WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Afghan national security troops killed in combat shot up almost 80 percent during this summer’s fighting season, compared with the same time in 2012, as Afghans take the lead in the fight across the country.

A Pentagon report says that U.S. and coalition deaths, meanwhile, dropped by almost 60 percent during the same six-month period. The Defense Department refused to release numbers to explain the percentages, but U.S. military leaders have said that the number of Afghans killed each week had spiked to more than 100 earlier this year.

The high number of casualties and the Afghans’ limited ability to evacuate their wounded, “adversely affects morale, retention and recruiting,” according to the report, which the Defense Department released Friday.

A senior U.S. military official, when asked about the casualty rate, said late last month that as the fighting season begins to wind down, the Afghan deaths had also started to decline. In one recent week, about 50 were killed in action, said the official, who spoke to reporters at a recent NATO meeting and requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly under NATO rules.

The Pentagon report covers the time period from April 1, 2013, to Sept. 30, 2013, before snow and cold temperatures begin to make travel

difficult.

The drop in U.S. and coalition casualties reflects the Afghans’ increased role taking the lead of combat operations as well as the ongoing decrease in the number of international forces in the country.

As of this week, there are about 48,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, down from a peak of slightly more than 100,000 in 2010.

According to the report, Afghan forces now conduct 95 percent of conventional operations and 98 percent of special operations in Afghanistan. Coalition forces continue to provide training and assistance but are still needed for air support, security, route clearance for roadside bombs, air lift for wounded or dead troops and counterterror operations.

Under the current plan, coalition combat forces will leave Afghanistan at the end of next year. Negotiations between the U.S. and the Afghan government are continuing to determine whether a small U.S. force will remain after 2014, and, if so, how many. U.S. and coalition officials have outlined plans to leave between 8,000-12,000 troops there to train and advise the Afghans, but any decision depends on whether the two sides can finalize a security agreement. The U.S. is expected to provide no more than 8,000, but the number could be substantially fewer depending on the agreement reached.

Overall, the report said that the

Afghans are gaining capabilities, but it also warned that the insurgency “consolidated gains in some of the rural areas in which it has traditionally held power.” And it says that as more U.S. and coalition troops leave in the coming months it will be difficult for the Afghans to take on all the needed capabilities, including both the fighting force and the government institutions and ministries needed to support it.

Afghan capabilities, “are not yet fully self-sustainable, and considerable effort will be required to make progress permanent,” the report said. “After 2014, (Afghan forces’) sustainability will be at high risk without continued aid from the international community and continued coalition force assistance including institutional advising.”

With international aid, however, the Afghans could continue to increase their ability to maintain a force and fight the Taliban, the report said.

According to the report, there are more than 344,000 Afghan security troops, which is nearly at the goal of 352,000. But over the last 12 months, the attrition rate has been more than 34 percent. The troop loss is blamed on poor leadership, inadequate living and working conditions, the lack of a good program for leaves and the effects of seasonal demands for harvesting and planting.

Bengals come up short in OT, lose 20-17 to Ravens BALTIMORE (AP) — A second straight overtime loss reinforced for Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton just how slim the difference is between winning and losing in the NFL. Cincinnati rallied from a 17-point deficit and forced overtime on a desperation heave from Dalton to A.J. Green on the final play of regulation Sunday.

But the Baltimore Ravens bounced back in overtime and won 20-17 on a 46-yard field goal by Justin Tucker with 5:27 left in the extra session.

The spirited comeback, the 51-yard TD pass to Green and a tremendous performance by Bengals linebacker Vincent Rey all went for naught as Cincinnati (6-4) missed an opportunity to all but oust the

defending Super Bowl champion Ravens (4-5) from the AFC North race.

It was the second straight overtime loss for the Bengals, who were coming off a 22-20 defeat at Miami.

“We were close today,” Dalton lamented. “We’ve been close in these overtime games.

We’ve got to whatever we can to make one more play, put ourselves in a better position where we can score and have a chance to not let the other team have it. Again, it didn’t happen today.”

The Bengals were hurt by nine penalties totaling 134 yards, five sacks and three interceptions.

“We hurt ourselves a lot with penalties this game and we See BENGALS | 14

MIAMI COUNTY — The Miami East football team will be heading into uncharted turf this week.

Literally.

For the first time in school history, Miami East will be playing on artificial turf this week when it heads to Welcome Stadium to take on Mechanicsburg in a Division VI, Region 22 regional semifinal playoff match-up. It also will be the largest venue in which the Vikings have ever played.

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson seized control of the championship battle following a disastrous performance by Matt Kenseth on Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway.

Johnson widened his lead in the Sprint Cup standings to 28 points over Kenseth heading into next Sunday’s season finale at Homestead by finishing third in a workmanlike performance for the five-time champion. Johnson will take his sixth title by finishing 23rd or better next week.

Kevin Harvick won Sunday at Phoenix for the second consecutive year, but all eyes were on Kenseth, who struggled mightily for the first time in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Kenseth finished 23rd.

His car was off at the very start of the race and Kenseth struggled to tell crew chief Jason Ratcliff what adjustments to make on a Toyota he described at one point as “just not drivable.”

“I don’t even know what to tell you to fix, to be honest,” Kenseth radioed. “I am so aero tight. So aero tight.”

Figuring track position and clean air was the only fix, Ratcliff opted for a strategy of having Kenseth do the opposite of other drivers: If they pitted, Kenseth did not, and vice versa.

It worked as Kenseth cracked the top 10, but then backfired horrifically on a disastrous pit stop at the worst possible time.

Florida State moves to No. 2 Buckeyes’ schedule not helping matters Incognito says Martin sent him threatening text

By the Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) — Suspended Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito says teammate Jonathan Martin sent him a threatening text message as an apparent joke only a week before their relationship became the subject of a harassment case that has prompted an NFL investigation.

In an interview with Fox Sports televised Sunday, Incognito said he never took the threat seriously. Incognito said he regrets the racist and profane language he used with Martin, but said it stemmed from a culture of locker-room “brotherhood,” not bullying.

Florida State is No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, replacing Oregon behind No. 1 Alabama, and fans of No. 3 Ohio State are becoming increasing agitated with talk of the Buckeyes’ weak schedule and the Big Ten’s strength — or lack thereof.

It is one thing to be told the Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 champions should get the nod over the Big Ten’s best because they have a tougher road to travel — even some Ohio State fans might begrudgingly concede that — but an Atlantic Coast Conference

team?

Florida State received the three first-place votes from the media panel that didn’t go to Alabama in the Top 25 released Sunday.

When the BCS standings, which use the Harris and USA Today coaches’ polls, come out Sunday night, they’re expected to line up the same way as the AP poll — with Alabama and Florida State in the top two spots and unbeaten Ohio State trailing.

Ohio State fans contend they’re being done in by a narrative that has developed in the media: The Big Ten is bad and the Buckeyes are overrated.

Maybe they have a point.

Let’s compare resumes as best as possible and leave the human element and eye tests aside.

A third of the BCS formula is based on computer rankings, and those computers really like Florida State. But those computer rankings are at least partially undercut by the fact that margin of victory is not allowed because of fears that it could lead to teams running up scores.

Jeff Sagarin does ratings for the BCS, but also posts what he calls more accurate ratings that do include margin of victory. In those, Florida State is the No. 1 team in the country.

The Seminoles are second in the nation in average margin of victory (40 points) behind Baylor (46).

Ohio State is No. 7 in the Sagarin rankings, behind even Wisconsin, a team that the Buckeyes beat 31-24 in

Columbus back in September.

The Buckeyes average margin of victory is 31 points.

According to Sagarin’s ratings, Ohio State has played the 81st toughest schedule in Division I. Florida State’s is 62nd.

Ranking conferences, Sagarin goes by division because as conferences have grown, there is less competition between divisions.

The ACC Coastal ranks fifth, behind the SEC West, Pac12 North, Pac-12 South and SEC East. The Big 12, with 10 teams and no divisions, is next, followed by the two Big Ten divisions. The ACC Atlantic, home of Florida State, comes in ninth.

Incognito says Martin sent him threatening text

Bengals From page 12 couldn’t catch a break,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “In the first half, it was just incredible.

I’ve never seen a run of penalties so one-sided.”

The Ravens won with only 189 yards of offense.

Joe Flacco threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, and Ray Rice gained a mere 30 yards on 18 carries.

“Sometimes you have to win by any means necessary,” Rice said. “Winning heals a lot. Now we’ve got to get on a roll to get back where we want to be.”

Dalton went 24 for 51 for 274 yards as the Bengals lost to Baltimore for the fifth time in six games.

On the last-second heave in regulation, Green positioned himself behind the pack and caught the deflection after it flicked off the hand of Ravens safety James Ihedigbo, who earlier had the first two interceptions of his career.

“I was just looking for someone to tap the ball so I could catch it,” Green said.

The Bengals won the toss before overtime and moved to the Baltimore 33 before Giovani Bernard caught a short pass, reversed field and was tackled for an 11-yard loss on fourth down.

Baltimore then got a pair of first downs before Tucker kicked the winner.

With 151 yards receiving, Green set a franchise record with his fifth straight 100-yard game.

And, making his second start of the season, Rey had 13 tackles, three sacks and his first career interception.

All of it occurred in a losing effort.

“We can’t be down on ourselves,” Dalton said.

“There’s a lot left in the season, and we can control our own fate. We are still in good position with a lot in front of us. We just need

to play our best.”

A gusty afternoon proved troublesome for the Bengals. Mike Nugent missed a 42-yard field goal into the wind and Dalton repeatedly overthrew his receivers. In the second quarter, Ihedigbo picked off a high pass and returned it 37 yards to set up a touchdown for a 17-0 lead.

“The wind was definitely a factor, but that’s the way it goes,” Dalton said.

Baltimore mustered only 94 yards in offense before halftime, but took advantage of Bengals miscues to put together scoring drives of 53, 58 and 11 yards.

Cincinnati had more penalty yards than total offense (114-102) in the first half, and Dalton was 8 for 21 for 47 yards and an interception.

The Bengals’ opening possession ended with a failed fourth-and-1 gamble at the Baltimore 47. Flacco immediately went long.

Although he underthrew Jacoby Jones, a pass interference call against Reggie Nelson covered 48 yards.

On third down, Dallas Clark caught a 1-yard pass in the end zone — the Ravens’ only first-quarter touchdown since the season opener.

Baltimore quickly got the ball back, and a facemask penalty against Cincinnati’s Chris Crocker contributed to a 58-yard drive that ended with a field goal to make it 10-0.

Things didn’t get better for the Bengals. Nugent shanked a field-goal try to the left, and Ihedigbo’s first interception set up a 7-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith.

“I thought early in the game we weren’t consistent,” Lewis said. “And we weren’t really good on third down today.”

Cincinnati converted only five of 19 third-down plays, but was 3 for 5 on fourth down.

to Winton Woods, which finished No. 9 in Divisin II in the final Associated Press state football poll and losing 41-12 to Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary, which finished atop the Division III state poll.

Tippecanoe, meanwhile, will counter with an offense that averaged 48.7 points per game. Tippecanoe finished the regular season ranked No. 10 in Division III in the final Associated Press poll.

The Red Devils finished the regular season unbeaten, with big wins of Kenton Ridge and Springfield Shawnee, both of whom qualified for the playoffs. Tippecanoe dispatched of Kenton Ridge 42-7 for a second time last week in the regional quarterfinals.

The Tippecanoe-Thurgood Marshall winner will play the winner of Trotwood-Madison vs. Springfield Shawnee in the regional finals.

Division VI Miami East (10-1) vs.

Mechanicsburg (9-2) at Dayton Welcome Stadium Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Miami East will hope to keep its historic season alive against Mechanicsburg. With its win over Tri-County North in the regional quarterfinals last week, the Vikings not only won the first playoff game in school history, but also became the first 10-win

MIAMI (AP) — Suspended Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito says teammate Jonathan Martin sent him a threatening text message as an apparent joke only a week before their relationship became the subject of a harassment case that has prompted an NFL investigation.

In an interview with Fox Sports televised Sunday, Incognito said he never took the threat seriously.

Incognito said he regrets the racist and profane language he used with Martin, but said it stemmed from a culture of locker-room “brotherhood,” not bullying.

“A week before this went down, Jonathan Martin texted me on my phone — ‘I will murder your whole … family,’” Incognito said, quoting Martin as using a profanity. “Now did I think Jonathan Martin was going to murder my family? Not one bit. … I knew it was coming from a brother. I knew it was coming from a friend.

I knew it was coming from a teammate. That just puts in context how we communicate with one another.”

Responding to the interview, Martin’s attorney tweeted the message Incognito quoted. The message was accompanied by two photos of a laughing woman holding a dog, suggesting it was intended as a joke.

“JMart’s text 2 Richie Incognito. U decide…..” attorney David Cornwell tweeted. That was the only response

by Cornwell or Martin’s agent to requests from The Associated Press for comment on Incognito’s interview.

Incognito said Martin also sent him a friendly text four days after leaving the team to undergo counseling for emotional issues. The message came on the heels of the Dolphins’ overtime victory against Cincinnati.

Thurgood Marshall’s runheavy, wing-t offense comes in averaging 47.2 points per game. The Cougars scored a huge win during the regular season in Week 1, knocking off Division I power Northmont, a playoff qualifier, 32-22.

Both of Thurgood Marshall’s losses came against quality opponents — losing 41-34

The Vikings finished the regular season ranked No. 13 in the Associated Press poll. East’s lone loss was to Covington, which finished No. 6 in the final Division VII poll. Both of Mechanicsburg’s regular-season losses came against quality opponents as well. The Indians lost 21-6 to West Jefferson, a Division V playoff team that finished No. 11 in the AP poll, and 21-18
