Jobless Ohioans face uncertainty Thousands to lose benefits in early January COLUMBUS (AP) — Going into the holiday season, tens of thousands of Ohioans are unsure of whether emergency jobless benefits meant to help them weather the recession will be around come New Years.

Nearly 77,000 jobless Ohioans draw federal unemployment benefits, and more than a quarter of those rely on the benefits to pay

their mortgages, utility bills and grocery bills, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

Unless Congress funds another extension of the benefits, those Ohioans will lose them in early January.

The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services expects another 107,000 workers to become unemployed by early April.

The jobless benefits were passed by Congress in 2008 as a lifeline to workers who faced unemployment during the worst recession since the Great Depression. Since then, lawmakers have approved nine extensions.

They have until Dec. 31 to approve another before the funds are exhausted.

Ohio employers will also have

to pay more in taxes next year to help the state pay penalties it owes the federal government for failing to repay $2.5 billion it borrowed to keep its unemployment trust fund afloat for the last two years. That boils down to an average of $21 per employee in 2012.

The state’s fund ran out in January 2009 when taxes paid by employers were no longer enough to cover the cost of benefits issued

Cain had to throw in towel It looks like Herm Cain is taking his double cheese and going home. Cain is a former Godfather’s Pizza CEO who until last week was candidate for the Republican nomination for president.

Apparently, he was interested in more than just pepperoni all those years on the job.

When more women than there are carry-out pizza stores in Little Italy went public about Cain’s extracurricular activities, he had to throw in the towel.

“I have permanent nerve damage. I can’t move any of my toes.

Complicating the damage to her sciatic nerve is the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, or RSD, that developed, which continues to cause her chronic and debilitating pain that limits her daily life.

“I deal with constant pain. It doesn’t stop,” Lantis said, and described the pain sensation in her left leg as “very cold. It’s freezing inside, like zero degrees.

She can’t move her toes and the muscles in her foot are dead, causing her foot to turn inward. you’re not going to see me outside, because it literally feels like my bones are just going to crack in my leg when I walk,” she said. “It’s constantly pulsating.

“The more I do, the worse it gets,” she added. “The pain can get so bad that I’m just on the ground screaming, and I won’t walk for

A 19-year-old woman allegedly drove a 2003 Mercedes ML-500 sport utility vehicle through the front window of a Troy Subway restaurant Sunday morning.

According to a Troy Police Department report, Camille Mugas was on her way to work at 8:39 a.m. when she pulled into a parking spot in front of the Subway restaurant, located at 1281 S. Dorset Road.

Mugas told police she stepped on both of the vehicle’s pedals — the gas and brake — simultaneously, causing the car to jump over the curb and crash through the front window of the store, destroying much of the front of the store.

According to reports, there were no injuries reported as a result of the accident.

Store manager Gina Zimmer said only one employee was in the store at the time the vehicle crashed through the window.

The store was scheduled to open at 9 a.m. — 20 minutes after the accident took place.

“I talked to the owner, Jeff Vogelmeier, this morning and he said that in 22 years of owning restaurants, he’s never had anything like this happen before,” Zimmer said. “He was just glad nobody was hurt. He said that was the most important thing.”

Zimmer said Hemm’s Glass had been called to repair the front of the store and the Subway likely would remain closed until Tuesday.

As of 4 p.m. Sunday, the store front had not yet been repaired.

According to police reports, Mugas was cited for failure to control the vehicle.

something as simple as a twisted ankle or insect bite, and the second the result of nerve damage.

Those with Type 1 often go into remission, but Lantis, who has Type 2, has no chance of that happening.

“She’s one of the 5 percent (of RSD patients) that does not respond to any type of treatment,” Lantis’ mother, Kimberly Van Kirk, said.

One of the things that has surprised Lantis and her family most over the last five years, as she has endured 22 surgeries and procedures to try to find relief, is the response of others to her condition, including many who are skeptical that her pain is real.

“I’ve had people go, ‘Oh, if she just has a positive attitude, she’ll be fine, it will go away,’ or, ‘If she just exercises,’ or ‘If she goes to physical therapy,’ or ‘She’s faking it.’

“It’s kind of like any person who goes through pain, they must be lying,” said Lantis, who is married to husband Chad, and whose daughter, Mae, is 5 years old.

“It’s really hard for me,” she said. “It’s my disease. It’s my tragedy. How can somebody very healthy go around talking about my disease and how I should act and shouldn’t act, and how I should be and shouldn’t be, where I should go and where I shouldn’t go? It doesn’t make sense.”

“People just don’t have a clue what she lives with every day.

They don’t have a clue,” Van Kirk said.

All the negative comments kept her down for a long time, but Lantis finally found her voice and is now using her experience to advocate for change.

In late September, the Troy High School graduate traveled to Columbus to speak to the Ohio Senate, as it considered Senate Bill 40, also known as the Complex Regional Pain

“

It’s my disease. It’s my tragedy.

How can somebody very healthy go around talking about my disease and how I should act and shouldn’t act, and how I should be and shouldn’t be, where I should go and where I shouldn’t go?

It doesn’t make sense.

— Katie Lantis

Syndrome Education Act. She put a face to the disease for senators, as she told them the story of what she has been through.

She was accompanied by family members, who didn’t know beforehand just what she was going to say.

“She blew me away,” Van Kirk said. “My son (Seth) is not easily impressed. He sat behind me, secretly videotaping while she was speaking, with tears running down his face.”

“Yeah, my husband cried too, so it was hard,” Lantis said. “He doesn’t cry.”

“She was quite the talk of the Senate, with her story,” her mother added, “mainly because she didn’t try to get up there and convince anyone. She just went up as Katie and said ‘This is me, look at my leg.’”

On Thursday, Lantis received word that the Ohio Senate had passed the bill that day, and it now goes to the Ohio House for consideration.

She will return to Columbus to testify again, if it seems necessary, but she said the expectation is that the House also will approve the measure, sometime after the first of the year.

What Senate Bill 40 does is recognize the month of November as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Month in the state of Ohio, and directs the Ohio Department of Health to include information about the syndrome on its

”

website.

The hope is that such recognition will bring about increased awareness of the disease and more funding for RSD research.

As for Lantis, she also is pursuing another avenue to spread the word about RSD. She is writing a book detailing her journey with the condition and its effects on her life and the lives of those around her.

That includes her parents, Kimberly and Ralph, at whose Westbrook home she and Mae spend each evening while her husband sleeps at their east Troy home, prior to his third-shift job at Goodrich. She needs constant help with her daughter, and that means relying on mom and dad.

“I don’t like being with my parents all the time,” Lantis said.

“We don’t like her being here all the time, either,” her mother countered, the two obviously joking with each other but still pinpointing another limitation imposed on Lantis by her disease — a loss of independence.

The course her disease will take in the future is unpredictable.

“What will happen to me is, eventually it just may kill everything,” Lantis said. “It can spread all over my body. Right now, it’s just from my knee down, and it’s killing my calf muscle. It can eventually go into the thigh.

“But right now, with the foot turning in, it’s knocking my knee out of place, my hip out of place, and I’m starting to get arthritis

in the back.

“Eventually, I’ll be in a wheelchair,” she concedes, and notes the disease already has spread to her eyes.

“They burn constantly like fire,” she said. “There’s nothing they can do for that.”

But many of Lantis’ fears revolve around her daughter.

“I can look back and go, ‘God, I had such a great childhood,’ and I don’t want my daughter looking back on her childhood and being, like, ‘My mom was sick,’” she said, choking up as she talks about Mae. “I already go through that now. Since she’s in school, it’s hard because I couldn’t do the first field trip because it was hiking, and I couldn’t take her trick or treating.”

Lantis did take her child along to Columbus when she testified in the Senate.

“I took her to Congress, I had her sit in Congress. My parents were like, “You’re bringing her?’ and I said, ‘It’s something I want her to see.’ Then when she grows up, she can stand up for anything and everything that she believes in, not be afraid of it.

She can look back and be proud of me,” Lantis said.

Her daughter is one reason she will continue to fight her disease and use her voice to raise RSD awareness.

“It’s a fight I’m going to just keep doing,” Lantis said. “I have my hard times, I have days where I hate the world, and I don’t understand why, and I don’t like certain people, and they are really bad days.

“I shield my daughter from it, and I’ll continue to shield my daughter from it,” she added, and promised, “I’m going to keep fighting, and you’re going to hear my name everywhere.”

Jobless • CONTINUED FROM A1 to jobless workers, causing the state to have to borrow from the federal government.

“Employers will be surprised. Nobody follows this,” said Andrew Doehrel, president of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

“When you say $21, it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but start multiplying that number by 100 or 200 employees and it will have an impact. Anytime you add costs, it hurts job creation.”

Lawmakers could decide this week whether to extend benefits.

“Congress should not go home for the holidays while leaving 70,000 Ohioans and their families in a lurch,” said Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. “Ohioans who have lost their job through no fault of their own should be able to count on the unemployment insurance they

paid into while they were working.”

But Congress may also decide to restrict who can receive them or consider other ideas to control costs.

Republican Sen. Rob Portman told the newspaper he assumes benefits will be extended before the end of the year, but he’s

worried about how to pay for them.

“We want to be sure that while we are extending unemployment insurance, that we are not making things worse by adding more and more to the deficit and accumulating debt, which makes the economy worse,” he said.

cessing center, the agency also would lower delivery standards for first-class mail that have been in place since 1971.

Currently, first-class mail is supposed to be delivered to homes and businesses within the continental U.S. in one day to three days.

That will lengthen to two days to three days, meaning mailers no longer could expect next-day delivery in surrounding communities.

Periodicals could take between two days and nine days.

About 42 percent of firstclass mail is now delivered the following day. An additional 27 percent arrives in two days, about 31 percent in three days and less than 1 percent in four days to five days.

Following the change next spring, about 51 percent of all first-class mail is expected to arrive in two days, with most of the remainder delivered in three days.

“It’s a potentially major change, but I don’t think consumers are focused on it and it won’t register until the service goes away,” said Jim Corridore, analyst with S&P Capital IQ, who tracks the shipping industry. “Over time, to the extent the customer service experience gets worse, it will only increase the shift away from mail to alternatives.

ANALYSIS

Army defectors complicate Syria uprising BEIRUT (AP) — Nearly nine months into the Syrian uprising, many protesters are pinning their hopes on an increasingly bold group of army defectors to give their revolution a fighting chance against President Bashar Assad’s fiercely loyal forces.

But as the Free Syrian Army gains power, the defectors could make it harder for the West to give strong diplomatic support to a movement that so far has been largely peaceful. The FSA also could give the regime an excuse to crack down even more strongly, adding to the body count in a country where more than 4,000 people already have been killed since March.

U.S. officials say the Free Syrian Army thus far has not essentially changed the dynamic in Syria or how the U.S. assesses the situation: that the Syrian regime is the cause of the unrest, and Assad must go. American officials have not condoned the violence from the FSA, but they have described it as an understandable reaction to months of oppression.

Still, the U.S. and others are urging the protesters to remain peaceful because they fear that violence plays into the hands of the regime, and because they believe the FSA isn’t strong enough to pose a serious threat to the Syrian government’s military dominance.

An Obama administration official said the situation might change, however, should the FSA transform itself into a national rebel movement similar to the National Transitional Council in Libya. He asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the issue.

But the likelihood of such an evolution is unclear.

For now, the Free Syrian Army holds no territory, appears largely disorganized and is up against a loyal and cohesive military that will stop at nothing to protect the regime.

The FSA’s leader, breakaway air force Col. Riad al-Asaad, is based in exile in Turkey, making communication with defectors on the ground one of the biggest challenges to the group’s growth. But FSA attacks have grown more sophisticated in recent weeks, prompting worldwide alarm that the situation in Syria is spiraling toward civil war.

On Saturday, more than two dozen people were killed in hot spots around the nation, most of them in a battle between troops and the growing force of defectors, activists said.

The sectarian divide in Syria, where members of Assad’s minority Alawite sect rule over a Sunni Muslim majority and others, means an insurgency could escalate quickly.

The FSA’s leader acknowledges nearly all the defectors under his command he estimates there are some 15,000, although the figure could be lower are low-level Sunni conscripts. The men are armed with rocket-propelled grenades, rifles and guns they took with them when they deserted, as well as light weapons they acquired on the black market.

The group has claimed responsibility for brazen attacks on air force intelligence headquarters and other military installations, adding to the bloodshed carried out by the regime.

November was the deadliest month of the uprising, with at least 950 people killed nationwide, activists say.

As the death toll mounts, attacks by the FSA could stoke the fears of those Syrians who have yet to choose a side in the conflict. Many Syrians have stayed on the sidelines, fearing that the alternative to Assad would be chaos.

The regime has added fuel to those fears, blaming the bloodshed on armed gangs and extremists acting out a foreign agenda to destabilize the regime.

Assad has played on some of the country’s worst fears to rally support behind him, painting himself as the lone force who can ward off the kind of radicalism and sectarianism that have bedeviled neighbors in Iraq and Lebanon.

Unlike the armies of Tunisia and Egypt, Syria’s military has stood fiercely by the country’s leader as Assad faces down an extraordinary protest movement.

Assad, and his father before him, stacked key military posts with members of their minority Alawite sect over the past 40 years, ensuring the loyalty of the armed forces by melding the fate of the army and the regime.

A recent U.N. report estimated that Alawites make up the majority of the key positions in the country’s security apparatus, including the officer corps of the armed forces, the Republican Guard and the feared 4th Division.

The top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, Jeffrey Feltman, said in recent congressional testimony that the regime was “executing a deliberate and bloody strategy of channeling peaceful protest into armed insurrection.”

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Advocate, Baton Rouge, La., on Russia and China’s support of Iran: If the declining Russia and rising China want to be part of the community of nations, they should not be acting like troublemakers in the murky waters of Persian Gulf politics.

China’s premier and Russia’s prime minister at an Asian affairs summit gave every appearance of indifference to the latest United Nations report about Iranian capabilities to build a nuclear bomb.

Russia’s president, Dmitri Medvedev, got into the act at a Berlin appearance, after a gathering of diplomats in Russia that included Iranian envoys.

“We should exhale, calm down and continue a constructive discussion of all issues on the Middle East agenda, including the Iranian nuclear program,” Medvedev commented.

This studied unhelpfulness about an Iranian regime that is subject to international sanctions because of its bomb-making potential is another sign that Russian and Chinese leaders are building an autocrats’ caucus that gets in the way of progress in the Persian Gulf.

We expected little better from these two major powers, but if there are any grounds for optimism here they are that realism might intrude on the anti-Western agenda.

The Chinese in particular

are enthusiastically trading with Iran, but most Chinese oil imports come from Saudi Arabia and other states deeply suspicious of Iranian intentions.

There is also the intangible nature of legitimacy in the great power fraternity.

Mainland China is in the grip of a communist dictatorship, and Russia’s “democracy” is only a cover for Kremlin cronies. …

Tying Chinese or Russian policy to the adventurism of Iranian mullahs is a way to make trouble for the West, but ultimately that stance could backfire.

A gambler’s realism about wild cards in the deck might yet be a restraining influence on the two dissenters.

DOONESBURY

Cain couldn’t get a pizza the presidential bid It looks like Herm Cain is taking his double cheese and going home.

Cain is a former Godfather’s Pizza CEO who until last week was candidate for the Republican nomination for president.

Apparently, he was interested in more than just pepperoni all those years on the job. When more women than there are carry-out pizza stores in Little Italy went public about Cain’s extracurricular activities, he had to throw in the towel.

Cain never was going to win the nomination. His “999” tax idea should have been labeled “911” and the big money guys would have buried him if he actually started to look like a serious candidate. The only way he was going to get any real support was to promise two free pizzas on every table – I’d vote for someone like that.

But he did bring a little bit of excitement to the campaign – it just turned out in the end he created a little too much excitement.

It makes you wonder what he was thinking. Did he really think that all this stuff from his past life could stay a secret if he ran for president? I mean, it’s not quite the same as running a bunch of

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist pizza stores.

With or without Cain in the race, the Republicans have an opportunity and a problem. The opportunity is that Barack Obama is not a very popular president, mainly because the economy still stinks three years after he took office. The problem is, the Republicans can’t find anyone with any appeal to run for president. If you believe the polls, Obama couldn’t beat your neighbor’s dog in an election right now, but he would beat all the potential Republican candidates.

I’ve been thinking about this and part of our problem is we don’t vote for the most qualified guy, we always vote for the most interesting guy. Think back over the past 30 years or so: Who was more personable, Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter? Walter

Mondale? George H.W. Bush wasn’t Mr. Charisma, but he had it all over Michael Dukakis. Then Bill Clinton came along and made the elder Bush look old. The Republicans responded with an even older guy, Bob Dole. Then the Democrats went for Mr. Robot, a.k.a. Al Gore, and John Kerry, whose main qualification was his initials (JFK). They made George W. Bush look like Mr. Personality.

In 2008, John McCain was overshadowed by Obama’s personality, which immediately disappeared when Obama took the oath of office.

The last time the boring guy beat the more exciting guy was when Richard Nixon won a couple of elections, and we all know how that turned out.

The Republicans just don’t have anyone interesting. They thought Rick Perry of Texas was going to be the guy, until we all found out that if we held a debate between Perry and a longhorn steer it would be an easy win for the steer.

Then Cain gained some traction until his past caught up with him.

The latest bump is going to Newt Gingrich, whose marital and extramarital history would make the kind of book you wouldn’t let your kids read. Old reliable is Mitt

Romney, who has been running for president for years and whose main qualification is he’s a sharp looking guy with a lot of money.

You would think that with a population of 300 million people, we could do a little bit better when it came to picking the leader of the free world. It seems to me all the smart people know they can make a lot more money with a lot less headaches by doing something else. And if they don’t want to do anything illegal, they can stay away from Wall Street and still make a lot of dough (not pizza dough, sorry Herm).

What’s the answer? Beats me. If I knew, I’d run for president, except then I would have to explain my sordid past — what would happen to my campaign when it came out I almost got thrown out of the Mayflower Theater when I was 11? I probably couldn’t get elected even if I was running against President Obama.

So I miss Herman Cain, because I’m still holding out for those free pizzas. And I’m thinking about voting for my neighbor’s dog. I think he could win.

Indian film star Dev Anand dies in London at age 88 NEW DELHI (AP) — Bollywood star Dev Anand, a charismatic and flamboyant Indian film fixture for more than a half-century, has died of a heart attack in London, his family said Sunday. He was 88.

Famed for his roles in dozens of movies, including “Jewel Thief” and “Guide,” the veteran actor, director and producer was working up to the last minute, with a new script in the works.

Anand lived and died on “his own terms,” his nephew and renowned film director Shekhar Kapur said in a posting on Twitter. “He was working one minute.

Sat down and smiled. And was gone the next. So much to learn.”

Anand died of a heart attack Saturday night in a hotel in London, where he had gone recently for a medical checkup, the family said.

India’s prime minister joined Indian film stars and officials in lauding Anand’s achievements and expressing sorrow for his death.

“Dev Anand was a great artist who entertained generations of cinema lovers over five decades,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a statement.

“He was an embodiment of long passion for acting and filmmaking. I join millions of his fans in mourning his death.”

Born on Sept. 26, 1923, as the son of a Punjab lawyer, Anand studied English literature and law, eventually moving in his early 20s to India’s film capital of Mumbai, then called Bombay, where he pursued a love of acting.

Known for his good looks, melodious voice and success in romantic leads, Anand was considered a superstar within just a few years of his 1946 screen debut in the Hindi-language film “Hum Ek Hain.”

Others in his family followed, with his brothers Chetan and Vijay also winning praise as film producers, screenwriters and directors.

Dev Anand also began producing in 1949, and made his directorial debut in 1971 with the popular hippie cult film “Hare Rama Hare Krishna.”

Never giving up the career, Anand released his latest film, “Chargesheet,” just a few months ago and was reportedly working on another script when he died.

On his birthday in September, the upbeat actor told the Press Trust of India that he still had more to offer.

“My life is the same, and I am at a beautiful stage at 88,” he reportedly said in the interview. “I am as excited as I was in my 20s. I have so many things to do,” including a sequel to his 1971 film that he had titled “Hare Rama Hare Krishna Aaj.” Anand was given several prizes during his career, including lifetime achievement awards by Filmfare in 1993 and Screen Videocon in 1996. His 2007 memoirs, titled “Romancing With Life,” underlined his belief in making films that were socially relevant.

Also known for social work, Anand dabbled in politics in the 1970s, launch-

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan said in a posting on Twitter that Anand’s death “leaves a void never perhaps to be filled again.”

Former Brazilian soccer star dies SAO PAULO (AP) — On and off the field, former Brazil star Socrates stood out above the rest.

His elegant style and his deep involvement with politics made him a unique figure in Brazilian soccer, setting him apart from the players of his time and even of today.

He was mostly known for captaining Brazil at the 1982 World Cup, regarded by many as the best team ever not to win football’s showcase tournament.

But he was also widely known for his heavy drinking, which he publicly admitted caused the health problems which eventually helped lead to his death on Sunday.

The Albert Einstein hospital said in a statement that Socrates died of septic shock at 4:30 a.m. Brazilian time (0630 GMT). He was 57.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said Brazil lost “one of its most cherished sons.”

“On the field, with his talent and sophisticated touches, he was a genius,” she said in a statement. “Off the field, … he was active politically, concerned with his people

and his country.”

Former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also expressed his sadness for the loss.

“Socrates’ generous contribution to Corinthians, to football and to the Brazilian society will never be forgotten,” said Silva, an outspoken fan of Corinthians, the club where Socrates thrived in the 1980s.

Socrates had been rushed to the hospital a few days ago and had been in critical condition in an intensive care unit with an intestinal infection. He was breathing with the help of a ventilator.

It was the third time in four months that he was hospitalized and placed in intensive care, most recently in September. The first two

times he was admitted for a hemorrhage caused by high pressure in the vein that carries blood from the digestive system to the liver.

Socrates never denied his fondness for drinking from the time he was a player in the 1980s, but said he stopped drinking earlier this year after his stints in the hospital.

“Socrates seemed like a player from another era,” former Italy forward Paolo Rossi told the ANSA news agency. “You couldn’t place him in any category on the pitch and even more so off it.

Everyone knew about his degree in medicine and he had a lot of cultural and social interests as well. He was unique from every point of view.”

“The center becomes a temporary home of sorts three days a week for about four hours each for patients on dialysis. We want their time with us to be as comfortable as possible,” said C.J. Kostecka, RN, BSN, director of nursing for the center.

“This Dialysis team prides itself on being caring and compassionate. It is not just about doing a dialysis treatment. Staff are committed to treating each of our patients with respect and making sure they are meeting their needs,” she said.

“It is not just getting them on the machine. It involves finding out what else is going on in their life that we can help facilitate,” she added. “We take care of the person in a holistic manner by providing resources for a lot of things.”

For many patients, the dialysis visit is more than a treatment session, as staff listen to them and talk with them, said Meisha

TROY Kreinbrink, RN, BSN, nurse supervisor for dialysis. “We have patients who tell us they look forward to coming to dialysis,” she smiled.

“That’s what we strive for.”

The center each year hosts a summer picnic for patients, families and staff and holds a Christmas party for patients.

“We try to build a family atmosphere here for our patients, and they seem to appreciate that,” Kostecka said. “Our patient satisfaction scores are very high, which is unusual in dialysis patients because dialysis is not something anyone wants to have to do.”

The UVMC Dialysis Center provides hemodialysis, which is a cleansing of the blood of patients whose kidneys no longer are functioning at an optimal level.

Located on the grounds of Upper Valley Medical Center north of Troy, the Center has 22 stations and provides approximately 12,000 treatments per year.

In addition to providing regular on-site hemodialysis at the center, the staff can help local patients who want to travel — such as over the holidays — to

They also can handle workups for any patient interested in possible transplantation.

New state of the art dialysis machines were added at the center earlier this year. The treatment suite is equipped with heated chairs and individual TVs for each patient.

The center serves adult patients of all ages with some very independent and others dependent on 24hour care, Kreinbrink said.

Many of the patients have diabetes and/or hypertension, which are major contributors to kidney disease, Nephrologist Sayed Ali,

M.D., works very closely with the center’s patients, handling inpatient care if they are hospitalized and performing interventional procedures if a patient’s treatment access fistula needs attention.

The center does not provide peritoneal (at home) dialysis, but Dr. Ali works with another center for those wanting to pursue that modality and training.

The center staff includes RNs, LPNs and Ohio Certified Dialysis Technicians.

The center participates in the Fistula First tracking system by the Renal Network. The network has set a standard to encourage facilities to have 65 percent or greater patients using fistulas. That’s because dial-

ysis patients with fistulas (as opposed to catheters) experience fewer infections than catheters and usually receive better treatment than a catheter can provide, Kreinbrink said.

For the past six months, he center has had a fistula rate of higher than 67 percent and for the past two years has had a fistula rate of 60 percent or greater each month, she noted.

For patients who anticipate they will soon need dialysis, the center holds education classes four to six times a year.

Participants are sent to the class by nephrologists who use the center — Dr. Ali and Mohammad Saklayen, M.D. — and usually are in the stage before hemodialysis will be

needed six to 18 months down the road.

Kostecka, who teaches the classes, said the goal is to provide basic knowledge about their disease process and what options are available and get them thinking about who will provide support as they move into a dialysis program.

“We are trying to share with them you don’t have to change what you are doing. You may have to alter when you do things because of the time to be spent in dialysis,” Kostecka said.

“Each patient decides how active they want and can be,” Kreinbrink said.

“We have a number who don’t let dialysis control their life. They control dialysis,” she said.

Putin’s party losing support in vote MOSCOW (AP) — Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s party struggled to hang onto its majority in Russia’s parliamentary election, results showed Monday, suggesting Russians were wearying of the man who has dominated Russian politics for more than a decade.

Rival parties and election monitors said even a result of around 50 percent was inflated, alleging ballot-stuffing and other significant violations at the polls. Many expressed fears that the vote count would be manipulated.

Putin wanted to see his United Russia party do well in Sunday’s election as a sign of popular support for his return to the presidency in a vote now three months away.

Despite the sobering setback, he was still expected to have little trouble reclaiming the position he held from 2000 to 2008.

Putin has systematically destroyed any potential challengers and most Russians do not see any credible alternatives, despite growing dissatisfaction with his strongman style. Grumbling over pervasive official corruption and the gap between ordinary people and the superrich has become widespread.

Putting a positive spin on the disappointing returns, Putin said “we can ensure the stable development of the country with this result.” But he appeared glum when

AP

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, left, and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visit the United Russia party headquarters in Moscow, Dec. 4. speaking to supporters at United Russia headquarters and limited his remarks to a terse statement.

United Russia held a two-thirds majority in the outgoing State Duma, which allowed it to change the constitution unchallenged. But the party is increasingly disliked, seen as representing a corrupt bureaucracy and known to many as the “party of crooks and thieves.”

The Communist Party appeared to benefit from the protest vote, with exit polls and the early returns predicting it would get nearly 20 percent, up from less than 12 percent four years ago.

But Putin should still have no serious difficulties getting his laws passed.

The two other parties in parliament also looked set to gain seats, and both have consistently voted with United Russia. Even the Communists pose only

tempered opposition.

The results with 75 percent of the precincts counted showed about 50 percent for United Russia.

This was in line with an exit poll conducted by the VTsIOM polling agency that had United Russia tallying 48.5 percent and another done by the FOM polling agency that had it winning 46 percent of the vote. The two polls were reported by the two state television channels.

Complete results were expected this afternoon.

About 60 percent of Russia’s 110 million registered voters cast ballots, down from 64 percent four years ago.

Only seven parties were allowed to field candidates for parliament this year, while the most vocal opposition groups were barred.

Several parties complained Sunday of extensive election violations aimed at boosting United Russia’s vote count, includ-

ing party observers being hindered in their work.

Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said his party monitors thwarted an attempt to stuff a ballot box at a Moscow polling station where they found 300 ballots already in the box before the start of the vote.

He said incidents of ballot-stuffing were reported at several other stations in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don and other areas. In the southern city of Krasnodar, unidentified people posing as Communist monitors had shown up at polling stations and the real observers from the party weren’t allowed in, Zyuganov said.

Russia’s only independent election monitoring group, Golos, has come under strong official pressure and its website was incapacitated by hackers on Sunday. Golos was still able to field more than 2,000 observers, and they reported numerous violations, director Liliya Shibanova said.

She said many of the violations involved absentee ballots, including socalled “cruise” or “carousel” voting where people with the ballots are bused to multiple polling stations. Many people complained that they were forced to get absentee ballots and hand them over to their bosses.

Shibanova said some of the worst violation were in the Volga River city of

police, who detained about a dozen of them. Later in the evening, police said they arrested more than 100 other opposition demonstrators at another Moscow square and about 70 in St. Petersburg.

The websites of Golos and Ekho Moskvy, a prominent, independentminded radio station, were down on Sunday. Both said the failures were due to denial-of-service hacker attacks. Ekho Moskvy’s site came back up after the polls closed.

Golos, which is funded

by U.S. and European grants, has come under heavy official pressure in the past week after Putin accused Western governments of trying to influence the election and likened recipients of Western aid to Judas.

Shibanova, the Golos leader, said its hotline was flooded Sunday with automated calls that effectively blocked it. Prior to the vote, many of the group’s activists were visited by security agents, while Shibanova was held for 12 hours at an airport and forced to hand over her laptop.

The group had compiled some 5,300 complaints of election-law violations ahead of the vote, most of which were linked to United Russia. Roughly a third of the complainants mostly government workers and students said their employers and professors were pressuring them to vote for the party.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Cabinet ministers on Sunday criticized Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton over remarks attributed to her in which she expressed concerns over Israel’s democracy.

Clinton made the comments at a closed-door session over the weekend at the Saban Forum, a Mideast policy seminar sponsored by the Brookings Institution think tank.

A senior U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Clinton’s remarks were considered off the record, confirmed that she expressed concerns about developments in Israel, including the NGO law and recent comments from ultraconservative politicians.

The State Department will not release a transcript of Clinton’s remarks.

The Israeli press reported that Clinton criticized a recent wave of legislation in Israel that critics say are aimed at stifling dissent. Israeli media did not provide quotes or a detailed summary.

Recent bills include one that restricts foreign funding for left-wing non-governmental organizations and a draft bill that would make it easier for journalists to be sued.

Israeli critics of the legislation say the bills are an attempt to stifle dissent among dovish groups in the country and muzzle the left-wing against the hawkish government.

Supporters say the bills would stop foreign interference and demand accountability in the media.

Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said Clinton’s remarks were “absolutely exaggerated.”

Speaking after a Cabinet meeting Sunday, Steinitz said “Israeli democracy is alive, breathing, kicking and liberal.”

According to the Israeli media, Clinton was also shocked by the segregation of women on some buses that serve the Ultra Orthodox Jewish community on routes to religious neighborhoods in Israel.

Steinitz agreed that “some things need to be fixed and that the separa-

Samara, where observers and election commission members from opposition parties were barred from verifying that the ballot boxes were properly sealed at all polling stations.

Social media were flooded with messages reporting violations. Many people reported seeing buses deliver groups of people to polling stations, with some of the buses carrying young men who looked like football fans.

In Moscow, several journalists, including a photographer for The Associated Press, were briefly detained after taking pictures at a polling station.

Mikhail Kasyanov, a former prime minister during Putin’s first presidential term, said he and other opposition activists who voted Sunday are under no illusion that their votes will be counted fairly.

“It is absolutely clear there will be no real count,” he said. “The authorities created an imitation of a very important institution whose name is free election, that is not free and is not elections.”

In a number of Russian regions, the official results differed sharply from the exit polls, with United Russia doing far better than the polls indicated.

A few dozen activists of the Left Front opposition group tried to stage a protest just outside Red Square on Sunday, but were quickly dispersed by

TROY TV-5

Discuss your concerns with a pastor or counselor

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my wife left me. I went to counseling immediately, and we worked hard to get back together for the sake of our children. We eventually reconciled. While I try not to dwell on the past, something still troubles me, and I'm not sure what to do about it.

A few days after "Jane" left me, I had a tearful phone conversation with my sister-in-law. She didn't go into specifics, but made it quite clear that Jane had not been faithful to me. At the time, I was devastated. I called my wife and asked if there was someone else. She insisted there wasn't. But my sister-in-law stands by her story.

I never discussed this possible affair with my pastor or my counselor, preferring instead to focus on what I needed to do to make myself a better husband and father. While I am confident that our love is now strong, I still have lingering doubts about Jane's fidelity. My sister-in-law isn't the type to make this up.

After two years, should I bring up the subject or simply keep it to myself and cope as best I can?

— Not Sure Dear Not Sure: Keeping it to yourself won't diminish your suspicions, because this is still preying on your mind after two years.

It's possible that your sister-inlaw misinterpreted something she heard or saw. But sometimes opening a can of worms is not worth the end result. Can you forgive an affair? If Jane insists she was faithful, will you believe her with your whole heart?

Please discuss these questions with your pastor or counselor until you are at peace with your decision, whatever it is.

Dear Annie: We moved into a lovely house on a quiet street with friendly neighbors. The problem? One couple has a large dog that barks for hours on end.

"Fido" is kept in the fenced-in yard that faces our bedroom.

Usually, he stands upright near their kitchen window, barking endlessly. When they come in after a night out, often as late as 2 a.m., the dog barks for several minutes and wakes us up.

After enduring this for months, we gently told the neighbors about it. They seemed genuinely surprised, but nothing changed. The next time Fido barked for three hours, we phoned them. We were told, "He's a guard dog. That's what they do." We asked if they would please bring Fido inside at night, but they refused. They won't bring the dog inside even in below-freezing weather.

We could call the neighborhood association, but I'm not sure it will help. How are we supposed to find quiet in our own home? Why are people so inconsiderate? — Noisy Dog Next Door Dear Noisy: Please call the neighborhood association.

Settling such disputes is part of its purpose. You also might discover that other neighbors have complained about this dog, which will strengthen your case should you decide to call the police and file a complaint. And finally, if the dog is being mistreated in the cold weather, notify your local humane society.

Dear Annie: "New Hampshire" said that "Workplace Dilemma" may legally be owed overtime. If "Workplace" gets a salary (as opposed to an hourly wage), she may not be entitled to overtime.

Also, it depends on whether the overtime is authorized by the boss.

When I started a new administrative position, I was told that two staff members had been caught using overtime as a scam, so now all overtime was denied.

They had been claiming the hours, even though their boss had not authorized it in advance.

This suited me.

If I came in early or stayed late, it was my decision. — California Worker Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Readers share memories of a comics education Dear Heloise: Recently, The (Spokane, Wash.) SpokesmanReview published your comments about uses for comics. You included teaching children to read. Years ago, my father (from the Netherlands) and my mother (from Ukraine) immigrated to the U.S.; they used the Sunday comics to learn how to read English.

Thank you for being part of my heritage. — Irene Silverman, Liberty Lake, Wash.

How wonderful that your parents were able to learn English using the Sunday comics. I hear from readers all the time saying that reading this column (which ran in the comics section in many papers) helped them learn

Hints from Heloise Columnist English. I would be interested in knowing of other readers who learned from my column (or comic strips or comic books).

Send your story to: Heloise(at)Heloise.com; fax to: 210-435-6473 (HELOISE); or mail to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000.

Please write “English” in the sub-

ject line or on the envelope.

Thanks! — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: If you wear contact lenses, you probably have a collection of lens cases, like I do. Here are some hints: • Store small earrings in when traveling.

• Use for petroleum-jelly or lip-gloss storage.

• Use for creams, lotions or liquid makeup when on the go.

• In a sink without a stopper, can be used to block the drain while putting in contacts or putting on jewelry. — Heloise EASY LABEL REMOVAL Dear Heloise: For the lady who bought white towels, cut off

the black labels but still has the black showing through, she might like to try my method of cutting off the labels as close as possible, then pulling out the remaining threads with a tweezer. It doesn’t always work, and sometimes I have to wash them a few times to get the remaining threads to loosen. It takes a bit of time and effort but is worth it and is something I can do while watching TV. I remember your mother’s column in The Honolulu Advertiser, as I, too, was a young military bride in 1960 (Naval Housing Area 2, Honolulu 18, Hawaii) and loved reading her advice. — Len in Mojave, Calif.

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Dec. 5, 2011 Compensation previously denied you for past works could finally start flowing into your coffers in the year ahead.

Chances are this will include payment that you thought totally non-collectable and had written off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It’s one of those unusual days when you could effortlessly get the recognition to which you’re entitled; it could include a material reward as well as applause.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It pays to be a go-getter in any situation where there is something meaningful at stake. Assertiveness will bring you the desirable results you want and deserve.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Appreciate the fact that you do have the power and necessary wherewithal to alter to your liking conditions that aren’t going your way. Enhance your advantages whenever you can.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Instead of attempting to do everything on your own, work in conjunction with others whenever you can. More goals can be achieved through the power of numbers than through solo efforts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Instead of waiting to be told what to do, you should take the initiative and do what you think best. You have a good eye for seeing what needs to be knocked off first in order to make your job easier.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — When someone in whom you’re interested starts looking your way, turn on the charm and do your best to be appealing. The impression you make will be a lasting one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Working on an assignment where there is plenty of room for reconstruction, be it of a product, method or system, can give you tremendous gratification.

Making needed improvements will come easily.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Plenty of surprises may be in store for you concerning your one-on-one relationships. Those who usually aren’t too friendly will bend over backward to help you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A hobby or a sideline in which you’re interested has much greater potential for acceptance by the public than you may anticipate.

Check out some ways to cash in on what you have to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — There is a presence about you that adds spark and luster to the social gatherings you choose to grace with your presence.

Your charming personality isn’t likely to go unnoticed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you tend to look out for the welfare of others without being asked, Lady Luck is inclined to favor you in return.

It pays to have a considerate attitude.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — For whatever reason, better communication between you and a valued friend is possible, so if you need to tell your pal something without fear of misunderstanding, it’s the day to do it.

(AP) — Today is Monday, Dec. 5, the 339th day of 2011. There are 26 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 5, 1933, national Prohibition came to an end as Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, repealing the 18th Amendment.

On this date: • In 1776, the first scholastic fraternity in America, Phi Beta Kappa, was organized at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va.

Albert Einstein was granted a visa, making it possible for him to travel to the United States.

Pivotal week for Europe’s leaders and fate of euro BRUSSELS (AP) — Europe’s government-debt crisis, which has dragged on for more than two years, is entering a pivotal week, as leaders across the continent converge to prevent a collapse of the euro and a global financial panic that could result.

Expectations are rising that Friday’s summit of leaders of the 27 countries in the European Union will yield a breakthrough.

An agreement on tighter integration of the 17 EU countries that use the euro especially on budget matters would be seen as a crucial first step.

That could trigger further emergency aid from the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund or some combination, analysts say.

The coming days “will decide if the euro will survive or not,” Emma Marcegaglia, the head of Italy’s industrial lobby, Confindustria, said Sunday.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European

Central Bank Chief Mario Draghi and even U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will star in a 5-day financial drama leading up to the summit.

If the summit is a failure, Sarkozy warned last week, “the world will not wait for Europe.”

Sarkozy and Merkel meet in Paris on Monday to unveil a proposal for closer political and economic ties between the 17 euro countries. While the leaders differ on some of the details, their cooperation has been so tight they have come to be known by a single name “Merkozy.”

The two agree overall on the need for tougher, enforceable rules that would prevent governments from spending or borrowing too much and on certain penalties for persistent violators.

“Where we today have agreements, we need in the future to have legally binding regulations,” Merkel said Friday.

Merkel wants to change the basic EU treaty to reflect the tougher rules on euro countries and make them

enforceable. Even if there is general agreement on Friday, actually putting new rules in place through treaty changes could take more than a year. And many economists fear the new rules alone would not be enough to halt the rise in Europe’s borrowing costs.

The hope is that a firm expression of intent, however, would reassure the ECB, so that it can make stronger efforts in the short term.

That would give governments time to get their finances under better control and make economic reforms that would improve growth.

The urgency has been heightened in recent weeks as Italy and Spain, the continent’s third- and fourthlargest economies, face unsustainable high costs to finance their debts.

The yield on 10-year Italian bonds is around 7 percent. Yields above that level forced Ireland, Portugal and Greece to seek bailouts.

By comparison, bond yields in Germany, Europe’s largest and most stable economy, are roughly 2 percent.

105 Announcements

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 branches are Union 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.

Facts on Pearl Harbor attack. There are many facts on Pearl Harbor that will be brought to light in this article.

Twelve facts on Pearl Harbor: 1. Pearl Harbor is a United States naval base

On December 7, 1941, before many Americans were even awake, the Japanese Navy struck the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor with a surprising and deadly

By Candis Reade

it was a Sunday morning, many of the soldiers were sleeping and were completely unaware of the catastrophe that was soon to be upon them all.

4. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan was supposed to be a preventive attack used to scare the United States from interfering with Japans' plan to wage war against Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Although this was a very good strategic victory for the Japanese, they used huge amounts of resources for this one attack.

5. There were two waves of planes that attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

The first arrived at 7:55 a.m. and consisted of 183 planes. The second wave arrived almost an hour later with 167 planes. There were very few soldiers ready to fight on cue, thus the damage and devastation was quite severe.

6. In all, the Japanese sank or damaged 188 aircraft, eight U.S. Navy battleships, three destroyers, three cruisers, and one minelayer.

The damage caused to the Japanese navy was very small, Only 29 aircraft out of 350 were destroyed.

7. There were 2,403 people killed, 68 of those were civilians. 1,178 were wounded.

located west of Honolulu on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii.

2. It was the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into World War II. 3. Due to the fact that

Graphic Designer: Scarlett Smith

8. There had been a declaration of war sent to the United States by the Japanese before the attack even happened, but the United States thought that it was an ending to negotiations.

This mistake proved deadly.

9. The Four U.S. Navy battleships that were destroyed were the USS Arizona, the USS Nevada, the USS Oklahoma, and the USS West Virginia.

10. The Japanese thought that the battleships were the primary source of the United States strength, but they failed to realize that the aircraft carriers and submarines would be sufficient enough to stop them in the end.

11. Although the Empire of Japan caused huge amounts of damage to the United States, there were still many members in Congress that did not want to go to war, and felt the need was quite small.

However, this did not stop the United States from declaring war with Japan the very next day.

12. Lastly, one of the main reasons that the attack on Pearl Harbor did not succeed was because this very attack helped spur the Americans onward and proved to be a huge rallying point for the troublesome days, months, and years that lay ahead.

Pearl Harbor

Did You Know?

ABOUT NATIONAL PEARL HARBOR REMEBRANCE DAY National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, which is annually on December 7, commemorates the attack on Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, during World War II. Many American service men and women lost their lives or were injured on December 7, 1941, entering America into WWII. National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is also referred to as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day or Pearl Harbor Day. It is a tradition to fly the U.S. Flag at half-staff until sunset.

Hawaii Date of Statehood – Aug. 21, 1959 Nickname – The Aloha State Hawaii is made up of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii. Undersea volcanoes created the islands. Hawaii is very isolated. It is 2,390 miles from California and 3,850 miles from Japan.

cruisers, nine oilers, two battleships, and 11 destroyers.

The attack killed 2,403 U.S. personnel, including 68 civilians, and destroyed or damaged 19 U.S. Naval ships, including 8 battleships. The four aircraft carriers of the U.S. Pacific fleet were out to sea on a practice maneuver. The Japanese were unable to locate them and were forced to return home with the U.S. carrier fleet intact.

The battleship USS Arizona remains sunken in Pearl Harbor with its crew onboard. Half of the dead at Pearl Harbor were on the Arizona. A United States flag flies above the sunken battleship, which serves as a memorial to all Americans who died in the attack.

Dorie Miller, a steward on the USS West Virginia, distinguished himself by courageous conduct and devotion to duty during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

He first assisted his mortally wounded captain and then manned a machine gun, which he was not accustomed to operating, successfully destroying two Japanese air-

craft. He was the first African American awarded the Navy Cross, the service’s highest award, for his actions during the attack.

The Japanese lost 29 aircraft and 5 midget submarines in the attack. One Japanese soldier was taken prisoner and 129 Japanese soldiers were killed. Out of all the Japanese ships that participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor only one, the Ushio, survived until the end of the war. It was surrendered to the U.S. at Yokosuka Naval Base. When Admiral Yamamoto learned that his forces had not destroyed the U.S. aircraft carriers or completely destroyed the U.S. fleet, he feared that the United States, with its enormous industrial potential, would soon recover and fight back.

The United States did recover — and quicker than Yamamoto could have imagined. After only six months, the U.S. carrier fleet dealt a decisive blow to Yamamoto’s navy in June 1942 at the battle of Midway, sinking four Japanese aircraft carriers. This U.S. victory marked the height of Japanese expansion in the Pacific.

Thank You!

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese military launched a surprise attack on the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Since early 1941, the U.S. had been supplying Great Britain in its fight against the Nazis. It had also been pressuring Japan to halt its military expansion in Asia and the Pacific. With the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. could no longer avoid an active fight. On December 8, U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt asked Congress for and received a declaration of war against Japan. On December 11, Germany and Italy, allied with Japan, declared war on the U.S. The United States had entered World War II. Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto planned the Pearl Harbor attack. Two things inspired Yamamoto’s Pearl Harbor idea: a prophetic book and a historic attack. The book was The Great Pacific War, written in 1925 by Hector Bywater, a British naval authority. It was a realistic account of a clash between the United States and Japan that begins with the Japanese destruction of the U.S. fleet and proceeds to a Japanese attack on Guam and the Philippines. When Britain’s Royal Air Force successfully attacked the Italian fleet at Taranto on November 11, 1940, Yamamoto was convinced that Bywater’s fiction could become reality.

On December 6, 1941, the U.S. intercepted a Japanese message that inquired about ship movements and berthing positions at Pearl Harbor. The cryptologist gave the message to her superior who said he would get back to her on Monday, December 8. On Sunday, December 7, a radar operator on Oahu saw a large group of airplanes on his screen heading toward the island. He called his superior who told him it was probably a group of U.S. B-17 bombers and not to worry about it.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor began at 7:55 that morning. The entire attack took only one hour and 15 minutes.

Captain Mitsuo Fuchida sent the code message, “Tora, Tora, Tora,” to the Japanese fleet after flying over Oahu to indicate the Americans had been caught by surprise.

The Japanese planned to give the U.S. A declaration of war the moment the attack began so they would not violate the first article of the Hague Convention in 1907, but the message was delayed and not relayed to U.S. officials in Washington until the attack was already in progress.

The Japanese strike force consisted of 353 aircraft launched from four heavy carriers. These included 40 torpedo planes, 103 level bombers, 131 dive-bombers, and 79 fighters. The attack also consisted of two heavy cruisers, 35 submarines, two light

Troy was defeated for the first time on Sunday, losing to St. Francis DeSales by a count of 4-1 in Columbus.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (14) gets a pass off under pressure from Pittsburgh Steelers’ Brett Keisel (99) during the second quarter in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The right formula Steelers stay hot, crush Bengals, 35-7 PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers needed just 15 minutes to provide the Cincinnati Bengals a refresher course on what it takes to win in December.

Run the ball. Create turnovers. A big play or two on special teams helps. So does having a quarterback who knows what he’s doing when the games dwindle to a precious few.

It’s a formula the defending AFC champions have used for years. It has rarely looked as effective as it did in a 35-7 win Sunday.

Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes to Mike Wallace, Rashard Mendenhall ran for two more and the Steelers used an explosive second quarter to crush error-prone Cincinnati.

“We’re in it now,” linebacker James Farrior said. “Right now is our time. … We already started our playoffs.”

It certainly looked like it as

Pittsburgh (9-3) swept the season series from Cincinnati (7-5) for the second straight year to end any realistic hopes the Bengals have of winning the AFC North.

“It’s tough,” said Cincinnati wide receiver A.J. Green, who caught an 11-yard touchdown pass but also committed a false start penalty that wiped out another score. “We shot ourselves in the foot sometimes.

Being the veteran team they are, they capitalized on everything we did.”

It’s what the Steelers do this time of year.

Pittsburgh has been a mixed bag at times this season, often playing to the level of the competition, regardless of who it is.

The same team that handled New England with ease six weeks ago is the same one that barely escaped woeful Kansas City with a win last Sunday night, raising concerns about Roethlisberger’s fractured right

thumb, the running game and a defense nursing injuries to safety Troy Polamalu (concussion) and LaMarr Woodley (hamstring).

There were no anxious final moments against the Bengals.

Pittsburgh’s best quarter of the season left little room for doubt, scoring four touchdowns in a span of less than 12 minutes to break it open.

“Finally,” Wallace said. “We always make it harder than it has to be. Today, we came out with a lot of emotion and a lot of energy. The guys just wanted to win. We knew what we had to do. It’s getting closer to the playoffs and it’s time for us to get better.”

That’s when Ray Rice ran wild.

Rice broke loose for a 67yard run in the third quarter on the way to a careerhigh 204 yards as the Ravens kept pace with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North by running roughshod over the Cleveland Browns 24-10 on Sunday.

“They just flat out whupped us up front,” Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said. “They embarrassed us. It was a slap in the face.”

With Flacco’s passes affected by gusty winds that pushed two Billy Cundiff field-goal attempts wide, the Ravens turned to Rice, who followed his blockers and posted the third-highest rushing total in franchise history.

“I give it all to the offensive line,” Rice said. “I get the glory because I get the yards. But the line, what they do, that’s how things happen” Cleveland lost for the

fifth time in six games, and the banged-up Browns have just three days to prepare for the Steelers, the division’s other resident heavy.

Browns wide receiver Josh Cribbs believes Cleveland has a long way to go to catch the North’s leaders.

“It’s a big gap,” he said.

Picking up huge chunks of yardage with almost every carry, the Ravens should have been up by three scores in the third quarter. But when Phil Dawson kicked a 21-yard field goal following a Baltimore turnover, the Browns were within 10-3.

Rice then broke their backs.

Taking the handoff from Flacco at his own 27, Rice swept left, found a seam and cut back to the middle of the field. He was able to pull away from a bunch of pursuing Browns near midfield, getting a big block

Packers stay unbeaten

Trojans

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers engineered a last-minute drive to set up a 31-yard field goal by Mason Crosby on the final play of regulation, and the Green Bay Packers remained undefeated and clinched a playoff berth with a 38-35 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Rodgers hit three passes of more than 18 yards on the drive in the final 58 seconds as the Super Bowl champion Packers (12-0) won their 18th straight game and handed the Giants (6-6) their fourth straight loss.

Piqua graduate Bradon Saine, who plays for the Packers, had six carries for 16 yards BRONCOS 35, VIKINGS 32 MINNEAPOLIS — Tim Tebow led yet another late rally, passing for a seasonbest 202 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns to help the Denver Broncos win their fifth straight game.

Matt Prater kicked two field goals in the final 93 seconds for the Broncos (75), who moved into a firstplace tie in the AFC West with a loss by the Oakland Raiders. Christian Ponder set Minnesota’s single-game rookie record with 381 yards passing, including a pair of touchdowns to Percy Harvin, but his sideline throw with 1:33 remaining was intercepted by Andre Goodman to set up the winner.

Harvin had a career-high 156 yards for the Vikings (210), who lost their fourth in

remained in the playoff chase.

Johnson scored on runs of 48 and 4 yards to match his season touchdown total.

It was his third 100-yard rushing game in four outings.

CHIEFS 10, BEARS 3 CHICAGO — Tyler Palko shook off two miserable starts and threw for 157 yards and a touchdown even though he was briefly lifted for Kyle Orton.

Orton came on to start the second quarter and immediately left the game with an injured finger on his right hand. Palko connected with Dexter McCluster on a wild 38-yard pass to end the first half on a ball that got deflected by Brian Urlacher and Chris Conte, giving the Chiefs a 7-3 lead and their first touchdown in three games.

The boys team garnered the eighth spot in qualifying after a slow start. The boys shot team games of 870-956-881 on challenging lane conditions. Troy was matched against Centerville in the first round, where the Trojans defeated the Elks, 3-2, taking the decisive fifth game by a score of 242-223. Troy then fell behind Urbana 2-0 before roaring back to take the next three games to advance to the semifinals.

Jared Sierra led the boys in qualifying with games of 178-179-221 for a 578 series. Cameron Hughes gave the team a huge lift by coming off the bench and shooting a 264 in the second game. A.J. Bigelow added

from wide receiver Anquan Boldin before being pushed out of bounds at Cleveland’s 5.

Williams then plowed in from the 1 to put the Ravens ahead 17-3.

For the third straight week, the Ravens were without Ray Lewis, their motivational leader and star linebacker who has been slowed by a nagging toe injury. But the 5-foot-8, 212-pound Rice, who has become one of the NFL’s best all-around backs, carried the load and made sure Baltimore didn’t miss a beat.

“Getting this win without No. 52 is a blessing,” Rice said of Lewis, who prowled the sideline yelling encouragement at his teammates and taunting the Browns. “When I came off to the sideline, he was coaching me as well. He said he was a running back in high school and was giving tips.”

Woods wins Chevron Challenge

Ehlo could join Cavaliers as coach

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — After going more than two years and 26 tournaments without a win, and after so much turmoil in his personal life and with his golf game, Tiger Woods stood over a 6-foot birdie putt Sunday to win the Chevron World Challenge and felt as though nothing had changed.

Finally, the outcome was familiar, too.

Woods poured in the putt to cap off a birdiebirdie finish at Sherwood, close with a 3-under 69 and beat former Masters champion Zach Johnson by one shot. The win ended a drought that lasted 749 days, and might have signaled a change that Woods is on his way back.

He swept his arm across the air, yelled through the din of the gallery and slammed his fist in a celebration that was a long time coming.

Relief? Satisfaction?

the hole and rolled down to 6 feet.

"I've been in contention twice this year, which is not very often," Woods said. "So that's my third time with a chance to win it. I pulled it off this time."

It was his 83rd win worldwide in tournaments that award ranking points, but his first since he won the Australian Masters on Nov. 15, 2009, back when he looked as though he would rule golf for as long as he played.

But he crashed his car into a fire hydrant outside his Florida home on Thanksgiving night, and shocking revelations of extramarital affairs began to emerge, which shattered his image, led to a divorce and cost him four major sponsors. Since then, he has changed swing coaches, caddies and endured more injuries, causing him to miss two majors and fail to make the cut in another.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Craig Ehlo will forever be etched into the fabric of Cleveland sports.

But despite seven solid seasons with the Cavaliers, he's usually remembered for his role in one of the most famous plays in NBA history.

Ehlo was guarding Michael Jordan during "The Shot" in the Bulls' Game 5 playoff win over the Cavs on May 7, 1989.

He might have a chance to change that thinking. The Spokane (Wash.)

SpokesmanReview reported Ehlo will be hired as a Cavs assistant coach on Monday.

A source said the Cavs have yet to offer the job to anyone. The position came open on Coach Byron Scott's staff when Chris Jent left to join Ohio State coach Thad Matta in Columbus.

Ehlo, 50, has been

assistant coach at Eastern Washington in Spokane.

A message seeking comment was not returned by Ehlo.

The 6-foot-7, 205pound shooting guard played 14 seasons in the NBA, seven with the Cavs from 1986-93. He averaged 9.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists with the Cavs.

SWX-TV in Washington reported Ehlo was one of three coaches interviewed for Cavs' opening.

First-year Eastern Washington coach Jim Hayford, when contacted by the Spokesman-Review prior to the Eagles' game at Washington State on Saturday, would not confirm or deny the report.

However, a source close to the Eagles' program confirmed to the Spokesman-Review that Ehlo has accepted the job.

LSU, Alabama get title rematch

By The Associated Press Play it again, LSU and Alabama.

The Crimson Tide edged out Oklahoma State in the final round of voting and will play the top-ranked Tigers in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans.

It’s not exactly a rematch the public was clamoring for at least outside of Southeastern Conference territory. And it certainly will do nothing to quiet the critics of the Bowl Championship Series or the calls for a college football playoff.

But like it or not, the BCS has ensured that the SEC home to both schools will run its streak of national championships to six in a row.

The Cowboys made a late surge by beating Oklahoma 44-10 on Saturday night, and closed the gap between themselves and Alabama in the polls. But it was not enough to avoid the first title game rematch in the 14-year history of the BCS. The Tigers (13-0) beat the Tide 9-6 in overtime on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama (11-1) finished second in both the Harris and coaches’ polls by a wide enough margin to make up for the fact that Oklahoma State was ahead in the computer ratings.

The Cowboys (11-1), champions of the Big 12, will play in the Fiesta Bowl.

As the power-brokers in college football begin to plot how top-tier bowls will be set up in the future, the 2011 season is once more exposing the flaws in the current system.

OSU ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 Jim Tressel was forced out for breaking NCAA rules, will lead the Buckeyes through the bowl. Meyer has retained Fickell as an assistant.

Will Muschamp, a former defensive coordinator at Texas, replaced Meyer last December and has struggled to pick up the pieces. The Gators lost six of their last eight games, and had to rally to beat lower-division Furman last month.

“Based on what I know, Urban won’t coach the game,” Muschamp said. “I don’t think it would be any distraction. We’ve moved on. Urban did a great job during his time at the University of Florida. I’m very appreciative of what he did, but we’ve moved on and we’re looking forward to playing the game.”

Muschamp called his team “soft” following a 217 loss to rival Florida State last weekend, but added that fans shouldn’t blame “who was here before.”

That would be Meyer, who has come under fire for seemingly leaving behind a team that lacks talent and depth.

Muschamp has insisted repeatedly that the Gators are close to getting back to an elite level, basically where Meyer had them in 2006, 2008 and 2009.

Meyer won national championships in 2006 and 2008 at Florida. He stepped away to take care of his health and spend more time with his family, including two daughters who play college volleyball.
