U.S.-Afghan base attacked At least 5 Afghan soldiers killed KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Taliban suicide bombers attacked a joint U.S.-Afghan air base in eastern Afghanistan early Sunday, detonating explosives at the gate and sparking a gunbattle that lasted at least two hours with American helicopters firing down on the militants. The attackers and at least five Afghans were killed, officials said. Taliban spokesman

Stevens steals the show in Lincoln movie I was pleasantly surprised the other night when I went to see the movie “Lincoln” and the theater was full. It does my heart good to see that a serious historical movie can still draw a crowd. I like superhero movies as much as the next guy, but somehow it’s encouraging to see so many people who are still willing to go to a movie like “Lincoln.” Of course, a large portion of the audience looked old enough to have known Lincoln personally.

Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the assault. It was the largest attack on the Jalalabad air base since February, when a suicide car bombing at the gate triggered an explosion that killed nine Afghans, six of them civilians. In Sunday’s attack, two vehicles packed with explosives barreled toward the main gate of the base around 6 a.m. local time. The first

vehicle, a four-wheel-drive car, blew up at the gate, said Hazrat Hussain Mashreqiwal, a spokesman for the provincial police chief. Guards started shooting at the second vehicle before it too exploded, he added. It was unclear whether the explosives were detonated by the attackers themselves or by shooting from the guards. Two Afghan students from a private medical school were caught up in the attack and

He did not know whether the base workers were private guards, members of the security forces or civilian employees. Nine attackers took part in the assault in total, he said, three of whom were killed in the suicide blasts and another six gunmen who died in the ensuing fighting that lasted a few hours. Maj. Martyn Crighton, a spokesman for the international military force in Afghanistan, said that helicopters “were deployed and used.” The NATO military coalition described the attack as a failure. “We can confirm insurgents, including multiple suicide bombers, attacked Jalalabad Airfield this morning. None of the attackers succeeded in breaching the perimeter,” Lt. Col. Hagen Messer, a spokesman for the international military coalition, said in an email. He said that the fighting had ended by midmorning and that reports showed one member of the Afghan security forces was killed. Several foreign troops were wounded, but Messer did not give any numbers or details. “The final assessment of what happened this morning is not yet complete, but initial reports indicate there were three suicide bombers,” Messer said. In the south, meanwhile, a NATO service member was killed in an insurgent attack, the international coalition said in a statement. It did not provide further details.

Palestinians wave flags and pictures of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as they celebrate their successful bid to win U.N. statehood recognition in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Sunday.

Hero • CONTINUED FROM 1 the ground, but it carries deep potential significance. The vote amounted to an international endorsement of the Palestinian position on future border arrangements with Israel and an overwhelming condemnation of Israeli settlements in the areas claimed by the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Benjamin rejects a return to Israel’s 1967 lines. Israel remains in control in parts of the West Bank and considers east Jerusalem, the Palestinians’ hoped-for capital, an integral part of its capital. Israel also continues to restrict access to Gaza. Israel withdrew seven years ago from the coastal strip, and it is now ruled by Hamas Islamic militants who regularly fire rockets at Israel.

future capital, and cut off the northern part of the West Bank form its southern flank. The Palestinians claim such a scenario would essentially kill any hope for the creation of a viable state. The U.S., Britain, France and other European states all denounced the plan. On Sunday, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, expressed concern that such settlement expansion “may represent a strategic step undermining the prospects of a contiguous and viable Palestine with Jerusalem as the share capital of both it and Israel. She urged Israel to show its commitment to the early renewal of peace talks but not going ahead with the settlement plan. “The European Union has repeatedly stated that all settlement construction is illegal under international law and constitutes an obstacle to peace,” Ashton said in a statement. On Sunday, the Israeli government delivered another blow, saying it

AN IMPORTANT EVENT FOR NEW & RETURNING STUDENTS!

Israel, backed by the U.S., campaigned strongly against the statehood measure, accusing the Palestinians of trying to bypass direct peace negotiations, which it said were the only viable path to a Palestinian state. The Israeli lobbying efforts failed miserably. Just eight other countries voted with Israel, and even its closest allies in Europe, including Germany, Italy, France and Britain, either abstained or voted with the Palestinians. Israel responded strongly and swiftly. The following day, it said it would start drawing up plans to build thousands of settlement homes, including the firstever development on a crucial corridor east of Jerusalem. Although the project is likely years away, if it happens at all, the announcement struck a defiant tone. Building in the area, known as E1, would sever the link between the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the sector of the holy city the Palestinians claim for a

would withhold more than $100 million in funds it transfers to the Palestinians each month. Instead, it said the money taxes and customs duties that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinians would be used to pay off its debts to Israeli companies, including $200 million owed to the state-run Israel Electric Corp., government officials said. The monthly transfers are crucial for the cashstrapped Palestinian Authority to pay salaries to its tens of thousands of civil servants and security forces. Israel has taken similar measures in the past before eventually releasing the money. At the weekly meeting of his Cabinet, Netanyahu said the Palestinian statehood campaign was a “gross violation” of past agreements calling for disputes to be resolved through negotiations. “Accordingly, the government of Israel rejects the U.N General Assembly decision,” he told his Cabinet on Sunday. He also pledged to continue building settlements. “Today we are building, and we will continue to build in Jerusalem and in all areas that appear on Israel’s map of strategic interests.” Half a million settlers live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The ongoing growth of the settlements is at the heart of the current impasse in peace efforts. The Palestinians view continued settlement expansion as a show of bad faith and refuse to return to negotiations unless construction is frozen.

Word of the Week infection — the act of infecting or the state of being infected

Newspaper Knowledge Look through the newspaper to find pictures of people doing various things. Mark it with a red B if people should wash their hands before this activity. Mark it with a blue A if they should wash their hands after this activity. How many photos did you mark with both an A and a B?

Did You Know? What can you learn from a vampire? The way a movie vampire covers his face with his cape is a good way to stop the spread of germs. It’s called the Vampire Cough. Next time you cough or sneeze, cough into the inside bend of your elbow. If you cough into your hands, the germs from your mouth get spread around. Think about it – what was the last thing you touched with the inside of your elbow?

Write On! Find an article or advertisement that describes a health problem. What is the cause of the problem? What is described as a solution or “cure” for the problem? Write a short paragraph on how you think you could solve the problem.

Germs!

Why Is Hand Washing So Important? A delicious mud pie, a good-luck rock or a friendly frog are just a few of the presents children love to bring home to Mom and Dad. But did you know that behind those adorable gifts – and countless others – millions of germs could be lurking? Kids may not always listen when you tell them to wash their hands before eating, but it’s a message worth repeating. Hand washing is by far the best way to prevent germs from spreading and to keep your kids from getting sick. The First Line of Defense Against Germs Germs – such as bacteria and viruses – can be transmitted several different ways, especially by touching dirty hands or changing dirty diapers. Other ways germs spread include: • through contaminated water and food • through droplets released during a cough or a sneeze • through contaminated surfaces • through a sick person’s body fluids If kids pick up germs from one of these sources, they can unknowingly become infected simply by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. And once they’re infected, it’s usually just a matter of time before the whole family comes down with the same illness. Good hand washing is your first line of defense against the spread of many illnesses – and not just the common cold. More serious illnesses such as meningitis, bronchiolitis, influenza, hepatitis A and most types of infectious diarrhea can be stopped with the simple act of washing your hands. How to Wash Your Hands Correctly Here are some simple steps for scrubbing those germs away. Demonstrate this routine to your child – or better yet, wash your hands together with your child several times a day so he or she learns how important this good habit is. 1. Wash your hands in warm water. Make sure the water isn’t too hot for little hands. 2. Use soap and lather up for about 10 to 15 seconds (antibacterial soap isn’t necessary – any soap will do.) Make sure you get in between the fingers and under the nails where uninvited germs like to hang out. And don’t forget the wrists! 3. Rinse and dry well with a clean towel. To minimize the germs passed around your family, make frequent hand washing a rule for everyone, especially: • before eating and cooking • after using the bathroom • after cleaning around the house

NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

One in three people do not wash their hands after using the restroom. • after touching animals, including family pets • before and after visiting or taking care of any sick friends or relatives • after blowing one’s nose, coughing or sneezing • after being outside (playing, gardening, walking the dog, etc.) Don’t underestimate the power of handwashing! The few seconds you spend at the sink with your child could save you trips to the doctor’s office.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Journal on immigration reform: The election results aren’t likely to bring Democrats and Republicans closer together on all the grave issues facing our country, but it may have narrowed the gap on one of them — the undeniable need for sweeping immigration reform. If true, a break in the impasse can’t happen fast enough. President Barack Obama promised to deliver on comprehensive immigration legislation in his first term in office. He didn’t do that during his first two years when an amenable Congress was controlled by the Democrats. He was mostly stymied by a majority of Republicans after the 2010 midterm elections. Nevertheless, Obama did laudably take executive action this year, announcing that the administration would be helping young illegal immigrants get a chance to stay in the country rather than deporting them. He also has pledged to work hard for broader reforms; the election results may help him achieve that goal. That’s because some Republican leaders — seeing that their party’s support among Latinos has eroded greatly from the days when former Texas Gov. George W. Bush was in the Oval Office — are now talking about reform. To his credit, Bush pushed for big changes in the country’s immigration policies, but the GOP leadership in Congress would not budge. Now, in a bipartisan effort, Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., are pitching changes that would bolster security at the borders but also provide a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. If this sounds familiar, it should. The two senators made the same suggestion in 2010, but the idea went nowhere. Immigration reform has been kicked around long enough. Realistic solutions are needed, not more hollow rhetoric. Congress and the president have plenty of motivation to get this done and should seize on the opportunity. The Telegraph, Macon, Ga., on jobless benefits: Washington’s focus on the “fiscal cliff” — a potentially disastrous combination of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1 — has shifted attention away from the biggest problem in the economy, which is the more than 12 million Americans still unemployed. More than 5 million of them have been sidelined for more than half a year, which means they’re no longer receiving unemployment insurance benefits from their state. Instead, many are receiving extended unemployment benefits paid for by the federal government. Unless Congress agrees to renew the program, however, that support will end as well, even before the country reaches the fiscal cliff. It would be tragic if Congress abandoned the unemployed in order to clip a relative smidgen off the deficit — about $30 billion of a deficit of $1 trillion. According to the most recent federal survey of job vacancies, there were about seven applicants for every two openings. That’s an improvement over the worst days of the recession, when the ratio of applicants to openings was more than 10 to 2. But it still means that there aren’t nearly enough jobs available to put everyone back to work, especially when you consider the more than 9 million Americans who are either stuck in part-time jobs when they want full-time work, or who’ve become so discouraged they’ve dropped out of the workforce. Nevertheless, Republicans and Democrats have battled for more than two years over how to offset the cost of the benefits, and more recently whether to continue funding them at all. There’s a legitimate debate to be had over whether the country should continue borrowing money to pay for unemployment benefits. But the usual argument for cutting off benefits is risible when there aren’t enough jobs to take.

DOONESBURY

Stevens steals the show in ‘Lincoln’ movie I was pleasantly surprised the other night when I went to see the movie “Lincoln” and the theater was full. It does my heart good to see that a serious historical movie can still draw a crowd. I like superhero movies as much as the next guy, but somehow it’s encouraging to see so many people who are still willing to go to a movie like “Lincoln.” Of course, a large portion of the audience looked old enough to have known Lincoln personally. There were a few young people there, but I think they thought they were going to “Lincoln, Vampire Slayer” and got confused. Like any movie, “Lincoln” has a few inaccuracies and scenes that purists object to. That’s the great thing about history, though – no one really knows exactly the why or the how or the what, so you always have a little leeway. One of the more intriguing characters in the movie is Thaddeus Stevens, partially because he is played by Tommy Lee Jones. Stevens was a Pennsylvania congressman who was an abolitionist and one of the

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist leaders of the radical Republicans. He was fearless and stubborn and became one of the most hated men in the South. He also was a master of the humorous insult. I did a little looking and came up with a few Thaddeus Stevens stories for you today, mostly from the Thaddeus Stevens Society, a Pennsylvania group dedicated to preserving Stevens’ memory. If you haven’t seen “Lincoln,” this will help you understand Stevens when you do. If you have seen it, you should appreciate these stories all the more: • Stevens was a relentless critic of Andrew Johnson. When some people tried to tell Stevens that Johnson wasn’t so bad and that, like Stevens, Johnson was a self-

— Barbara Lurie Troy

made man, Stevens replied: "I never thought of it that way, but it does relieve God Almighty of a heavy responsibility." • As an abolitionist, Stevens would only say this in criticism of John Brown: "John Brown deserves to be hung for being a hopeless fool. He attempted to capture Virginia with seventeen men when he ought to know that it would require at least twenty-five." • Stevens had this to say about Secretary of War Simon Cameron when Lincoln asked him if he thought Cameron would ever steal: "Well, Mr. President, I don't think he would steal a red-hot stove." Lincoln liked the story so much he repeated it, and when Cameron heard about it he demanded an apology. Stevens complied. "I said I did not think Mr. Cameron would steal a redhot stove. I am now forced to withdraw that statement." Finally, when Lincoln banished Cameron to Russia to become minister to that country, Stevens had the last word: "Send word to the Czar to bring in his things at night." • In one speech on the House

floor, Stevens made some very uncomplimentary comments about a fellow legislator. Just to show it was nothing personal, he followed up his scathing comments with this conciliatory gesture: "It is my purpose nowhere in these remarks to make personal reproaches; I entertain no illwill toward any human being, nor any brute that I know of, not even the skunk across the way to which I referred." • Stevens was near the end of his life when a friend expressed his concern about Stevens’ appearance. “It is not my appearance, by my disappearance, that troubles me,” Stevens said. I imagine that Tommy Lee Jones’ portrayal of Stevens in the movie will do more for the old congressman’s reputation than any other event in the past 150 years. It’s just one of the aspects of the movie that make it worth seeing – the actors do a superb job, it tells about a vital portion of history and it really is riveting, even if there aren’t any vampires involved.

LOCAL & NATION

College basketball coach Majerus dies at age 64 ST. LOUIS (AP) — At Rick Majerus’ final stop, the lone concession to the coach’s health woes were the footstools stationed at each corner of the practice court. Close by anytime he needed a breather. Close enough, too, to jump up for some hands-on assistance with the proper stance or to lead a quick walkthrough. The jovial, basketballobsessed coach who led Utah to the 1998 NCAA final and had only one losing season in 25 years with four schools, died Saturday. He was 64. Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman, the coach’s longtime friend, confirmed in a statement released through The Salt Lake Tribune that Majerus died of heart failure in a Los Angeles hospital. The coach had been hospitalized there for several months. Players remembered Majerus, who got his start as an assistant under Al McGuire at Marquette, as a coach who was exacting and perhaps a bit unorthodox at times, but always fair. Majerus was known for assembling rosters with an international flair, and his final team at Saint Louis had players from Australia and New Zealand. “It was a unique experience, I’ll tell you that, and I loved every minute of it,” said Saint Louis guard Kyle Cassity, who was mostly a backup on last season’s 26win team after starting for Majerus earlier in his college career. “A lot of people questioned the way he did

He’d be hard as hell on you, but he really cared.” At the postgame news conference following Saint Louis’ four-point loss to top seed Michigan State in the NCAA West Regional, Majerus and his players wept. “Coach has done so much,” Brian Conklin said back then. “Being his first recruiting class, he told me that we were going to help him build something special here. He’s a great coach. I couldn’t imagine playing for a better coach, a better person. He doesn’t just teach you about basketball, it’s about life.” Saint Louis athletic director Chris May said in a statement that what he would remember most about Majerus “was his enduring passion to see his players excel both on and off the court.” “He truly embraced the

term ‘student-athlete,’ and I think that will be his lasting legacy,” May added. The school announced Nov. 19 that Majerus wouldn’t return to Saint Louis because of the heart condition. He ended the school’s 12year NCAA tournament drought last season, and bounced back from his only losing season, with a team that won its opening game and took top regional seed Michigan State to the wire. The Billikens were ranked for the first time since 199495. Majerus was undergoing evaluation and treatment in California for the ongoing heart trouble and the school announced he was on leave in late August. “That’s a tough one for me,” Boston coach Doc Rivers, a former Marquette star, said after the Celtics’ loss in Milwaukee. “He’s the one that gave me my nick-

name. I knew before (the game) that he wasn’t going to make it through the night. I don’t want to talk much about it.” San Diego State coach Steve Fisher first met Majerus at a camp when Majerus was a graduate assistant at Marquette and Fisher was coaching at the high school level in Chicago. “Rick would hold court at night with a case of beer in the basement,” Fisher said. “Phenomenal coach, a better person, cared about family, cared about people. He will be missed by everyone.” Majerus had a history of heart and weight problems dating to 1989 that persisted despite a daily constitutional of a mile swim. He had a stent inserted in August 2011 in Salt Lake City and missed some games in the 2011-12 season after gashing his leg in a collision with players. He backed out of a commitment to coach Southern California due to heart problems. Majerus was 95-69 in five seasons at Saint Louis and had a 25-year record of 517-216, with 15 20-win seasons and two 30-win seasons. He had his most success at Utah, going 323-95 from 1989-2004. He was at Marquette from 1983-86, and Ball State from 198789. Ball State was 29-3 in 1988-89 under Majerus, including the school’s first NCAA tournament victory. At Utah, Majerus produced 10 conference championships in 13 seasons.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Only you can decide if the relationship is a waste of time Dear Annie: I've been dating "Gary" for 11 years. He is in his early 50s and has never married. Neither of us has children. Gary and I travel together, go camping and attend major sporting events. We make each other laugh and have fun in the bedroom. We truly are best friends. My problem is the lack of commitment. Although I'm welcome at Gary's home as an overnight guest, he refuses to take it to the next level. If I bring up moving in or getting married, I get silence in return. He doesn't give any explanation. He just refuses to discuss it. Gary recently started a new career and is gone for three days every week. There is an excellent chance that he will relocate. We still hook up on weekends, and things are great, but I long for a commitment and cannot seem to get it. When filling out his new life insurance policy, Gary listed his elderly mother as his beneficiary. She is quite well off and doesn't need the money. I would be willing to share everything I own with him, but I guess it isn't reciprocal. Maybe I already know the answer and just need to see it in black and white. Is it time to move on? — Life Is Good Dear Life Is Good: Gary enjoys what he has right now. And to a large extent, so do you. Are you willing to give up the friendship and intimacy with Gary in order to pursue a committed relationship? Could you be content with what you have and not expect more? If Gary is ready to move away and hasn't suggested that you come along, it means you will not get a commitment from him. Period. Only you can decide whether that means the relationship is a waste of time. Dear Annie: When my husband and I travel, we often spend a couple of days with friends or family. One night during our stay, we usually go out to dinner. There always seems to be a small verbal battle over who is going to pay the bill. My husband always insists on paying. He says we want to thank them for their hospitality. On the other hand, when friends or family come to our house and we go out to dinner, my husband still insists on paying, saying they are our guests. When I was growing up, my father was the same way. Is there a rule about who should pick up the tab: the host or the guest? — Tired of Always Footing the Bill Dear Tired: When staying at someone's home for a weekend or longer, it is good manners to treat your hosts to a meal to thank them for their hospitality. Your husband should allow your guests to do the same for him. However, if your guests are with you only for a night, it is equally proper for your husband to treat them. But really, since he's so stubborn about it, we suggest you let him do what he wants. Dear Annie: You were wrong to tell "N.Y., N.Y." to visit her ailing grandmothers because it is "the right thing to do." Having been through it with a grandmother and my own mother, I would have preferred to remember them as the loving people they once were instead of the nasty, angry human wreckage they became. When my grandchildren were younger, I spent lots of time making beautiful memories, and that's what I want them to remember. I've already given written instructions that should I follow the same course, none of my family is to visit. Let me preserve some dignity by not having my loved ones witness my decline. — Realistic Dear Realistic: We don't believe unpleasant memories must crowd out the earlier loving ones. But if these are your wishes, they should be honored. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Sound off: Individual instructions not always included Dear Readers: Here is this week’s sound off, about how companies put instructions on packaging: “My Sound Off is about companies that make frozen food in individual packets inside a box. The cooking instructions are on the box, but not on the packet, so when you take one to work, you need to remember the timing so you don’t end up with an ice pop or a lump of coal to eat. It’s usually the ’pocket’ items that don’t have the instructions. — Deborah, via email” Well, there usually is a downside to some “convenience” foods! — Heloise

Hints from Heloise Columnist TOWEL TROUBLES Dear Heloise: I recently forgot a load of towels in the washer for a couple of days, and now they smell like mildew. Please tell me how I can get rid of this awful smell. — A Reader, via email This happens a lot, and you’re not alone! To get rid of

the smell, rewash the towels in hot water with a normal amount of laundry detergent and 1/2 cup of baking soda or washing soda (you can find it in the laundry aisle). Then put the towels into the dryer ASAP. Also, use a low heat setting for a longer time. You may need to repeat the process if they’re still not fresh. Want to know other great home hints using baking soda? Order my pamphlet Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes. Send $5 with a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box

795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Towels aren’t the only things that can be deodorized with baking soda. Sprinkling a small amount of baking soda in clothes hampers, diaper pails and pet bedding will help keep the odors away. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for clean cloth diapers: • As a burp cloth. • As a towel in the garage. • Use to wash the car. • As a cleaning rag around the house. • Keep in a car for spills, etc. — Heloise

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a fun-loving day! Give yourself a chance to kick up your heels. Enjoy sports events, movies, social diversions, playful times with children and chances to express your creative talent. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Home, family and your domestic scene are your primary areas of focus today. A discussion with a female relative (possibly your mother) will be significant. Cocoon at home if you can. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have a strong need to enlighten others today. You’ve got news to share! Enjoy short trips and conversations with everyone, especially siblings. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your focus is on money today; nevertheless, be careful. Postpone important financial decisions until tomorrow. To be safe, postpone major purchases until tomorrow as well. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. Just remember this before you overreact when dealing with others. The good news is this Moon also makes you luckier! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You are best served by working alone or working behind the scenes today. You need a little solitude to sort things out, especially regarding domestic issues at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A discussion with a female friend will be confidential and meaningful for you today. Share your hopes and dreams for the future, because feedback from others will help you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s possible that intimate details of your private life will be rather public today. A classic example would be a domestic argument that takes place in an elevator! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do something to rev your engine today, because you’re hungry for adventure. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Travel if possible. Talk to people from different backgrounds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Focus on details about inheritances, shared property, taxes, insurance matters and such. Get better organized with these red-tape issues. (Give yourself a warm feeling in your tummy.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because the Moon today is opposite your sign, you will have to compromise with others. Take an easygoing, tolerant approach to things. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Act on your urge to get better organized. Tidy up (physically) your surroundings. Also give some thought to how you can improve your health. (It’s a self-improvement day.) YOU BORN TODAY You have a gutsy energy that people like. You face obstacles with courage and style. Of course, you’re driven to achieve your aims. You’re smart, sassy and fast. You will sacrifice a lot for what you believe. You have great organizational skills, and you’re a good listener. Work hard to build or construct something in the next year, because your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Roberta Bondar, astronaut; Marisa Tomei, actress; Kevin Sussman, actor.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, Dec. 3, the 338th day of 2012. There are 28 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 3, 1992, the first telephone text message was sent by British engineer Neil Papworth, who transmitted the greeting “Merry Christmas” from his work computer in Newbury, Berkshire, to Vodafone executive Richard Jarvis’ mobile phone. On this date: • In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio the first truly coeducational school of higher learning in the

United States began holding classes. • In 1925, George Gershwin’s Concerto in F had its world premiere at New York’s Carnegie Hall, with Gershwin at the piano. • In 1947, the Tennessee Williams play “A Streetcar Named Desire” opened on Broadway. • In 1960, the Lerner and Loewe musical “Camelot” opened on Broadway. • In 1967, surgeons in Cape Town, South Africa led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first human heart transplant on Louis

Washkansky, who lived 18 days with the new heart. • In 1979, 11 people were killed in a crush of fans at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum, where the British rock group The Who was performing. • Today’s Birthdays: Rock singer Ozzy Osbourne is 64. Actress Daryl Hannah is 52. Actress Julianne Moore is 52. Olympic gold medal figure skater Katarina Witt is 47. Actor Brendan Fraser is 44. Actress Anna Chlumsky is 32. Actress Amanda Seyfried is 27. Actor Michael Angarano is 25.

NW Ohio officials Why? Beltone lobby for flood control study If you are confused about where to go for help with your hearing...

projects. A new Water Resources Development Act bill now in committee has also lent more urgency to the regional officials’ efforts, the newspaper reported. The bill would give authorization to corps-endorsed flood projects, and regional officials want the northwest Ohio study to be on that list. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who met with the delegation this past week, said he thinks the region has “a good chance” of getting the federal money that is needed for the flood study and said he would work with colleagues in Congress to “push hard to get that study completed.” The regional officials have acknowledged that there is still some public skepticism about flood-control efforts, especially since the study is taking so long to complete. “Some people in Ottawa think we’re just spinning our wheels,” said Ottawa Mayor J. Dean Meyer. But Hancock County Commissioner Phil Riegle, another delegation member, is optimistic. “I think we can realistically get that federal money next year,” Riegle said.

FINDLAY (AP) — Five years after a major flood swamped northwest Ohio, officials again are pushing for the completion of a flood control study of the Blanchard River area. A six-member regional delegation including the mayors of Findlay and Ottawa traveled to Washington last week to plead for the money needed to complete the study and seek congressional support. The flood control study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is intended to find potential flood-reduction alternatives for the river, which has had five major floods since 2007 that have caused millions of dollars in damage in Findlay and Ottawa. The worst damage came in August 2007 when flooding caused more than $100 million in damage in Findlay and an estimated $12 million in damage in Ottawa. The corps’ timeline to finish its final recommendations report for flood control is 2014, but the regional team is pushing to have those recommendations by the end of 2013. The group also is stressing the importance of the federal government’s $1.7 million share of the funding needed to complete the study, The (Findlay) Courtier reported. Former Hancock County Engineer Steve Wilson, a member of the delegation, said the corps will run out of funding for the study in April and the group needed to show federal officials that “this project is still important to us.” Regional leaders also are hoping to get permission to start early on reconstruction of a bridge in Putnam County. Engineers have shown that the bridge’s low height causes Blanchard River backup that contributes to flooding in Ottawa. There is some concern that the federal budget crisis and East Coast cleanup from Hurricane Sandy could hamper flood-control funding efforts. Local leaders also have said that they believe lobbying trips to Washington are essential to keep the northwest Ohio project in front of congressional officials at a time when many people are trying to gain federal favor for their

CAUTION 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.

He won a Division I State cross country title and helped guide Tippecanoe to a seventhplace finish at state this past season. Tipp senior Sam Wharton has countless accolades on his record — including runner-up finishes at the 2011 Division I State Cross Country Meet and at the 2012 Foot Locker

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham steps into the end zone for a touchdown against the San Diego Chargers Sunday in San Diego.

Never back down Dalton’s TD pass seals win for Bengals SAN DIEGO (AP) — Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals didn’t flinch. No, all they had to do was bide their time and wait for the San Diego Chargers to cough up another fourth-quarter lead. Dalton scrambled up the middle for a 6-yard touchdown with 4:11 left for the go-ahead

score and the Cincinnati Bengals won their fourth straight game, 20-13 over the punchless San Diego Chargers on Sunday. The Bengals also kept coming after Philip Rivers, forcing two turnovers in the final 3:54. “We kept overcoming adversity and we didn’t flinch,” coach

Marvin Lewis said. “We just went out there and went back to work. … We weren’t perfect. But we had to keep playing and make adjustments and keep coming.” The Bengals (7-5) remained tied with Pittsburgh in the race for the AFC’s second wild-card

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Graeme McDowell kept trying to convince himself and everyone else that his game was improving, even though he had gone two years without a trophy to prove it. That’s what made Sunday at Sherwood so sweet. With a pair of superb shortgame shots on the back nine, McDowell closed with a 4-under 68 to win the World Challenge by three shots over Keegan Bradley, allowing him to head home for a 10-week break with a shot of confidence. “It’s been too long. It’s been a hell of a two years since I sat here as a winner,” McDowell said. “We all put winning up on a pedestal as the ultimate goal. We like to say that it’s all about the process and going through the motions and trying to get better. But let’s be honest. We all measure ourselves by the win. I can say that now.” The three-shot margin made it look easier than it was. Sherwood was playing longer than ever in a light rain, giving an advantage to a big hitter like Bradley, not to mention tournament host Tiger Woods. Even when McDowell built a four-shot lead through 11 holes, a careless three-putt bogey on the 13th brought Bradley within two shots with five holes to play. McDowell responded with a 75-foot putt that he lagged to tap-in range, a key moment for someone coming off a three-putt bogey. From a precarious spot behind the 17th green, he had to land his chip in the rough and hope it would hop onto the fringe and not run to far by the hole. He pulled it off perfectly. “It was an inch away from sticking in the fringe, and about 1-16th of an inch away from going in the hole,” he said. He made one last birdie he didn’t need, extending his dominance at Sherwood. It was the 10th time in 12 rounds at Sherwood that McDowell has shot in the 60s, and he now has two wins and a runner-up finish in his three trips to the World Challenge.

Road woes end Browns snap 12-game road skid OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Nursing a three-point lead and backed up to the shadow of his own goal posts, rookie Brandon Weeden engineered a touchdown drive that gave the Cleveland Browns a happy plane ride home for a change and hope for a much brighter future. Weeden threw for a careerhigh 364 yards and a touchdown and made key plays on the clinching 94-yard drive that

helped the Browns snap a 12game road losing streak by beating the Oakland Raiders 20-17 on Sunday. “That was kind of a statement,” Weeden said. “We strung together a lot of really good plays.

■ Cross Country

Wharton ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “We knew it was going to be mud bath. There was no way anyone was going to go out and PR. “Going out into the race, the start wasn’t terrible, it was pretty soft and squishy. Then once you got 300 meters in, that’s when you hit that first big mud area and your just like, ‘All jeez, your in for a rough ride’.” Wharton hasn’t entered many races of his career as an underdog, but

that may have been what people thought going into the Nike race. Still, Wharton managed to beat the entire field, after finishing 21st at the event as a junior. The second-place finisher Estevan Delarosa of team Arcadia was three seconds back (17:09.5) and the bronze medalist Luis Martinez finished in 17:17. Wharton credited the muddy landscape as being the ultimate equalizer. “It’s a whole different

mentality,” Wharton said. “Some of the guys that were favored over me are 19 seconds ahead on an average mile. There were some studs there. But the mud proved to be the equalizer. “This is more of a guts race. The favorites, who have more speed, weren’t able to use it because there were no stretches in the race where you could have good footing for three or four steps at a time. You were consistent-

ly slipping. It can be taxing mentally.” In the Foot Locker race a week prior, Wharton was edged for the top spot by Bismark, N.D.’s Jake Leingang, who had an identical time of 14:56. The Tipp senior also got the chance to race against another state champion from Ohio in Versailles’ Sam Prakel, who went on to finish sixth (15:06). “We raced each other a lot in middle school and he used to absolutely crush

me,” Wharton said. “He’s absolutely phenomenal.” And there’s a chance by pair of Sam’s may end up together next year in college. As of today, Wharton had narrowed his list of schools down to Stanford, Wisconsin, Colorado and Ohio State. Prakel is considering Stanford and Princeton. Some family and friends made the trip to see Wharton run in Oregon Saturday, while others watched at home.

Wharton’s uncle, Steve Wharton — who is known for bringing signs in support of Sam to area cross country meets — held a community gathering to watch the race on live web cast. Wharton has one more chance to capture another individual national title. On Dec. 8, he will travel to San Diego to race in the Foot Locker Nationals. That will be the final cross country race of his high school career.

Ducks, Cougars to play in Fiesta

Irish vs. Tide: Star power, power running for BCS title NEW YORK (AP) — On one side, a blossoming dynasty from the college football capital of the Deep South. On the other, the sport’s most famous team, trying to reclaim its place among the elite. Notre Dame and Alabama bring star power and power football to the BCS championship. The matchup becomes official Sunday night when the full BCS lineup is announced on ESPN. The one bit of drama on football’s selection Sunday was whether Northern Illinois could be this year’s so-called BCS buster, but even that mystery was solved early. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that NIU had qualified for an automatic bid and would play Florida State in the Orange Bowl. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement was still to come. As for the main event, it’s No. 1 Notre Dame against No. 2 Alabama in Miami on Jan. 7. The Irish clinched their spot a week ago in Los Angeles by completing a perfect season against rival Southern California. Alabama earned its spot Saturday, beating Georgia 32-28 in a thrilling Southeastern Conference title game. The program that coach Paul Bryant turned into an SEC behemoth in the 1960s and 70s, winning six national championships during his tenure, is again dominating college football with a modern-day version of the Bear leading the way in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide are on the verge of one of the great runs in history. Alabama would become the first team to repeat as champions since the Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998, and the 11th team to win consecutive AP titles since the poll started in 1936. The Tide also won the 2009 BCS championship. The last team to win three major national titles in four seasons was Nebraska, which went back-to-back in 1994 and ‘95 and finished No. 1 in the final coaches’ poll in 1997. In a spread-the-field, hurry-up offense world, the Tide is homage to tradi-

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Fiesta Bowl will be in the rotation when a playoff system replaces the BCS. The 2013 game might provide a glimpse of what a playoff in the desert might look like. Oregon and Kansas State, teams still in the national-title picture just two weeks ago, will meet at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale on Jan. 3, giving the Fiesta Bowl a second straight marquee matchup of teams in the top 5 of the BCS standings. The Ducks (11-1), with Heisman Trophy contender Kenjon Barner and all those fleet-footed players against the gritty Wildcats (11-1) and their own Heismanworthy quarterback, Collin Klein. Yeah, this should be good, maybe even better than last year. The 2012 Fiesta Bowl was certainly a memorable one: Oklahoma State vs. Stanford, Nos. 3 and 4 in the BCS, dynamic teams with two of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Brandon Weeden and the Cardinal’s Andrew Luck. The game matched the hype, with the Cowboys out-

The Tide put its no-frills on display muscle Saturday, mashing Georgia with 350 yards rushing, most impressively when Alabama trailed 21-10 in the second half and you might have expected the Tide to open up its passing game. Eddie Lacy, listed at a conservative 220 pounds, went for 181 against the Bulldogs to up his season total to 1,182 with 17 touchdowns. T.J. Yeldon, at 216 pounds, provides more speed with his punch. The freshman has run for 1,000 yards and scored 12 touchdowns. But this is no 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Both backs average over 6 yards per carry, behind an offensive line anchored by AllAmerican center Barrett Jones. And quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown 26 touchdowns with only three interceptions. The Tide has been more potent offensively this season than last to make up for a defense that has slipped, but only a bit. Alabama leads the nation in total defense (246 yards

per game) and is second in points allowed (10.7 per game). Linebackers Adrian Hubbard, Nico Johnson, CJ Mosley and Trey Depriest average 242 pounds. When Brian Kelly was hired at Notre Dame three years ago, he looked at Alabama and the SEC, which has won six straight BCS titles, and decided the Irish needed to play like that. Kelly built his reputation and winning teams at previous stops on fastpaced spread offenses. In South Bend, Ind., he has put the fight back in the Irish, who have won eight AP national titles only Alabama has as many but none since 1988. Notre Dame has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the country (10) and is sixth overall in total defense (286 yards per game). The face of the Irish isn’t a strong-armed quarterback or speedy ball carrier. It’s middle linebacker Manti Te’o, a 255-pound offense wrecker with a nose for the ball. The senior has seven interceptions and is a likely Heisman

finalist. Te’o, along with 300pound linemen Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix, have formed a red-zone wall for the Irish. Late goal line stands highlighted victories against Stanford and USC. While nurturing redshirt freshman Everett Golson, Kelly has leaned on Notre Dame’s running game, which averages 202 yards. Alabama averages 224 on the ground. If Notre Dame, making its first appearance in a BCS championship, is going to break the SEC’s strangle hold on the crystal ball trophy, the Irish will try to beat ‘Bama at its own game. And Kelly will try to uphold a Notre Dame tradition, by winning a national title in his third season as coach. Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine and Lou Holtz all won it all in Year 3 playing in the shadows of the Golden Dome. Notre Dame will try to become the first team since BYU in 1984 to start the season unranked a win a national title.

lasting Stanford 41-38 in overtime, giving the Fiesta Bowl a much-needed boost after nearly losing its BCS status due to financial improprieties and a dud of a game in 2011. Oregon and Kansas State, Nos. 4 and 5 in the BCS standings, have the potential to one-up 2012. Oregon, No. 5 in the AP Top 25, has been one of the nation’s best teams under coach Chip Kelly, using its swarm-of-bees offense to reach the BCS title game in 2011 and win the Rose Bowl for the first time in 95 years last season. The Ducks were one of the front-runners to reach the title game again this season, steamrolling opponents through their first 10 games with what may be the nation’s most unstoppable offense. The Wildcats’ run was a little more surprising. Kansas State, seventh in the AP poll, opened some eyes by trouncing Miami in its second game and started to draw national attention by knocking off Oklahoma in Norman on Sept. 22. Behind the do-everything Klein and its tough defense, the Wildcats kept piling up wins and rising up the rankings.

Badgers to make 3rd straight trip to Rose Bowl Wisconsin will battle Stanford PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Wisconsin believes its third straight trip to the Rose Bowl could be the charm. Stanford is hoping for another victory in its charmed run through the Bowl Championship Series. The unranked Badgers (8-5) and the No. 8 Cardinal (11-2) will meet in the 99th edition of the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, the bowl formally announced Sunday night. Arroyo Seco will be filled with fans wearing red and white when two schools with virtually identical colors play a rematch of the 2000 Rose Bowl, won 17-9 by Wisconsin with Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Ron Dayne. That loss was Stanford’s most recent trip to the Granddaddy of Them All, while the Badgers lost the last two Rose Bowls to TCU and Oregon.

Stanford is in its third consecutive BCS bowl. The Cardinal’s run to the Orange, Fiesta and Rose bowls in consecutive seasons was a nearly unimaginable feat just six seasons ago when coach Jim Harbaugh took over the long-struggling program at a school with lofty academic standards and a fan base dwarfed by the conference’s big-name football schools. Wisconsin is no stranger to surprising occurrences after this weekend. The Badgers seemed highly unlikely to make their third straight Rose Bowl this season after a series of narrow losses, but they stunned Nebraska 70-31 on Saturday in the Big Ten title game to earn yet another sun-splashed break from the Wisconsin winter for their hearty fan base.

N. Illinois to play Fla. St. in Orange Bowl MIAMI (AP) — What a weekend for Northern Illinois: Win a conference championship, lose a coach and bust the BCS. The Huskies are headed to the Orange Bowl, set to make their Bowl Championship Series debut against Florida State. Northern Illinois won the Mid-American Conference title on Friday, lost coach Dave Doeren to

North Carolina State on Saturday, and then spent Sunday anxiously waiting to see if it cracked the top 16 in the final BCS standings. By 0.0404 points, the Huskies did just that and will play in Miami on Jan. 1 as their reward. The MAC champions (12-1) were 15th in the final BCS standings. Finishing in the top 16 and

ahead of the champion of a qualifying conference they actually finished ahead of two, Big East winner Louisville and Big Ten titlist Wisconsin meant the Huskies were automatically BCS-bound, earning them this date with the Atlantic Coast Conference champion Seminoles (112). Northern Illinois is the first MAC school to reach

the BCS. The Huskies were 21st in last week’s BCS standings, meaning they not only needed to beat Kent State which entered championship week as another BCS hopeful in the MAC title game to have a shot, they also needed some help to reach the top 16. And enough help came, particularly with Nebraska losing badly in the Big Ten title

game, along with UCLA and Texas both falling over the weekend. So it’s the Huskies and Seminoles, a matchup that surely very few people would have expected when the season began. And while Northern Illinois will be a fun story line throughout bowl season, the Huskies earned their way into the conversation. Since last Oct. 2,

Northern Illinois is 21-1, the best record in the country. For comparison’s sake, that’s two more wins than Alabama and four more than Notre Dame the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish are this year’s titlegame qualifiers over that stretch. In fact, all that separated Northern Illinois from being perfect this season was one measly point.

Chiefs top Panthers on somber Sunday in KC KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Romeo Crennel stood in the middle of the Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room Sunday, the emotion threatening to overcome the good-natured coach. Chiefs owner Clark Hunt was at his side, offering support. Members of the team hugged each other, the mud smearing with tears on their cheeks. And over along the wall stood the empty locker that once belonged to Jovan Belcher, his jersey still hanging from a hook. Just one day after the linebacker killed his girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself, the Chiefs banded together to play their finest game of the season, an inspired 27-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers that ended an eight-game losing streak suddenly rendered trivial. “As far as playing the game, I thought that was the best for us to do, because that’s what we do,” Crennel said, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. “We’re football players and football coaches and that’s what we do, we play on Sunday.” According to authorities, Belcher shot his girlfriend multiple times early Saturday at a residence near Arrowhead Stadium, then sped to the team’s practice facility and turn the gun on himself as Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli watched in the parking lot. Pioli walked through the press box before the game and said he was doing “OK.” “It’s been an incredibly difficult 24 hours for our family and our entire organization,” Hunt said. “We have so many guys on

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, left, and coach Romeo Crennel stand together before an NFL football game against the Carolina Panthers at Arrowhead Stadium Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. On Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher thanked Pioli and Belcher for giving him a chance in the NFL, before he turned away and fatally shot himself. our team and our coaching staff who are really, really hurting.” Patriots 23, Dolphins 16 MIAMI — Tom Brady had his least efficient game of the year and even threw an interception, but New England took advantage of Miami’s mistakes and clinched their fourth consecutive AFC East title. A botched punt, roughing-the-punter penalty and fumble by Miami led to 17 New England points, and another penalty negated a Dolphins touchdown. Brady finished 24 for 40

for 238 yards and was sacked four times. But with the Patriots nursing a 2013 lead midway through the fourth quarter, he led a 16-play drive that took more than seven minutes and led to a field goal. The Patriots (9-3) have won six games in a row and are assured of their 12th consecutive winning season. Miami (5-7) lost to New England for the fifth consecutive time. Texans 24, Titans 10 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Houston Texans clinched their second straight playoff berth and

set a franchise record for wins in a season. Rookie linebacker Whitney Mercilus recovered a fumble and had two sacks, and the Texans (111) remain tied with Atlanta for the best record in the NFL with their sixth straight win. After needing overtime the past two games, the Texans forced six turnovers and had six sacks of Jake Locker when they weren’t batting down a handful of other passes. Broncos 31, Buccs 23 DENVER — Peyton Manning threw three touchdowns, including one

Bengals

to defensive tackle Mitch Unrein, to help Denver wrap up the AFC West. The Broncos (9-3) won their seventh straight and the Tampa Bay (6-6) loss clinched the NFC South for Atlanta, which won on Thursday. Rams 16, 49ers 13, OT ST. LOUIS — Rookie Greg Zuerlein kicked a 54yard field goal with 26 seconds left in overtime after booting a 53-yarder as time expired in regulation. The winning kick allowed the Rams to avoid a second tie in three weeks against the NFC West leaders. Seahawks 23, Bears 17, OT CHICAGO — Russell Wilson connected with Sidney Rice on a 13-yard touchdown with 7:33 left in overtime to lift Seattle. Unbeaten in five home games, the Seahawks finally figured a way to win on the road after dropping five of their first six, and knocked off the NFC North leaders in the process. Colts 35, Lions 33 DETROIT — Andrew Luck threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Donnie Avery with no time left to lift Indianapolis. With the final seconds ticking away, the rookie quarterback moved up in the pocket, flipped a short pass to Avery, and the receiver ran untouched into the end zone to complete a rally that started with Lions up 12 points midway through the fourth quarter. Packers 23, Vikings 14 GREEN BAY, Wis. — James Starks had Green Bay’s first rushing touchdown in almost two months, Morgan Burnett picked off Christian Ponder

twice and the Packers overcame a monster day by Adrian Peterson. Peterson finished with 210 yards, the most he’s had since blowing out his ACL and MCL last December. But the Vikings (6-6) clearly felt the absence of Percy Harvin, who missed his third straight game with a sprained ankle. Steelers 23, Ravens 20 BALTIMORE — Shaun Suisham kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired. Playing without injured quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for a third straight week, the Steelers turned to the 37-year-old Batch for the second game in a row. He went 25 for 36 for 276 yards, threw a touchdown and moved the Steelers 61 yards before Suisham’s game-winning kick. Jets 7, Cardinals 6 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Third-stringer Greg McElroy stepped in for a struggling Mark Sanchez and led New York to its only score. With Tim Tebow inactive as he heals from two broken ribs, coach Rex Ryan pulled Sanchez for McElroy — as the crowd at MetLife Stadium cheered wildly — late in the third quarter. McElroy led the (57) Jets to their only points of the day with an impressive drive, connecting with Jeff Cumberland on a 1yard touchdown. That ended up being the winning score. Bills 34, Jaguars 18 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Ryan Fitzpatrick directed five straight scoring drives in helping Buffalo keep alive its slim playoff hopes.

Browns

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 berth. The Steelers and Bengals are two games behind the AFC Northleading Baltimore Ravens, who lost to Pittsburgh. The Chargers (4-8) lost their fourth straight game and for the seventh time in eight games, and remain mathematically, but not realistically, alive in the wild-card chase. The Chargers are on the cusp of missing the playoffs for the third straight season, which is all but certain to cost coach Norv Turner his job, and it could get general manager A.J. Smith fired, as well. With four games left in Turner’s sixth season as head coach, the Chargers are assured of their third non-winning season in the past five years. They were 8-8 last season and in 2008. Denver clinched the AFC West title with a 3123 victory against Tampa Bay. The Broncos haven’t lost since overcoming a 240 deficit at halftime at San Diego on Oct. 15 to beat the Chargers 35-24. The Chargers were shut

They didn’t score an offensive touchdown for the third time this season. Trailing 13-10, the Bengals started the winning drive on their 45 and ate up 7:42. On second-and-goal, Dalton pump-faked right and then ran up the middle, dived for the end zone and got the ball across for a 17-13 lead. Dalton said the Bengals called a screen but it was well-defended. “I thought I was going

to be able to throw it quick somewhere. But I wasn’t able to, then I just found a lane and was able to get in. “Not everything is going to go exactly as you plan. It’s what you do when everything breaks down. It was a big play that we needed at that point.” Philip Rivers had two turnovers in the final 3:54. On the first Chargers’ possession after Dalton’s TD, defensive end Carlos Dunlap sacked Rivers, forced a fumble and recov-

ered at the 13 to set up Mike Nugent’s 24-yard field goal for a 20-13 lead. Rivers was then intercepted in the end zone by Reggie Nelson on fourthand-10 from the Bengals 17 with 49 seconds left. “We were flat as hell the second half,” Chargers fullback Le’Ron McClain said. “Tonight for the most part, we didn’t turn it over until the last two,” Rivers said. “We’re fighting like crazy to score. We’re in a rut and all we can do is keep playing.” Keeping the Chargers’ offense out of the end zone was “really big,” Dunlap said. “That’s huge because this team can put up a lot of points. They have a lot of scorers and great players on their offense. So for us to shut them out, that speaks volumes for our defense and that’s just the foundation of what we want to do as a defense.” The Bengals overcame three turnovers, including two interceptions by Dalton. One of them was returned 31 yards for a touchdown by Demorrio Williams.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Weeden hit fellow rookie Josh Gordon on a 44yard score in the second quarter and Trent Richardson scored on a 3yard run after Sheldon Brown made a key interception deep in Cleveland territory when the Raiders (3-9) were driving for the potential tying or go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. It all added up to the first road win for the Browns (4-8) since beating Indianapolis 27-19 in the second game of the 2011 season. The skid started a few weeks later with a loss in Oakland and went deep into this season. “You don’t want streaks like that,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “Let’s face it, over the last few years we haven’t done a great job of winning games. And so, as we take this journey with this young football team, they’re starting to learn.” The Raiders have lost five straight for the first time since a six-game losing streak in Lane Kiffin’s first year as coach in 2006 and have been eliminated from playoff contention for a 10th straight year. There was more bad news after the game as Oakland coach Dennis Allen had to fly to the Dallas area to be with his father, former NFL linebacker Grady Allen, who has a serious health issue. Dennis Allen is expected to rejoin the team

Wednesday night, a day before the Raiders host Denver. The biggest blunder for the Raiders came when rookie Juron Criner used a double move to get behind Brown and Carson Palmer underthrew the deep ball with Oakland already in position for a game-tying field goal. Brown intercepted the pass at the 6-yard line and Weeden engineered an impressive drive beginning with 9:31 to play. “I was trying to take a shot there, go for the touchdown quickly and just didn’t put the ball in the right spot, didn’t give Juron a chance to make a play on the ball,” Palmer said. Weeden completed an 11-yard pass on thirdand-3 to Gordon to get the Browns started and also had a big 22-yard pass to tight end Benjamin Watson. Weeden then converted a fourth-and-1 sneak from the Oakland 45 and Desmond Bryant jumped offside on a third-and-1 from the Raiders 10. Richardson scored two plays later to give the Browns a 20-10 lead with 3:27 to go as the Browns won for the fourth time in seven games since an 0-5 start to match last season’s win total. “Probably a defining drive of the season,” Brown said. “We had an opportunity to see the character of that offense.”
