Obama, Boehner meet again

Chavez suffered complications during surgery President Hugo Chavez suffered bleeding during his cancer surgery in Cuba but was recovering from the complications, Venezuela’s government said Thursday. Chavez suffered “bleeding that required the use of corrective measures” during Tuesday’s surgery, Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said, reading a government statement. It said those measures allowed for the “opportune control” of the bleeding.

Report: Kasich won’t lease Ohio Turnpike Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to propose raising $1.5 billion for highway projects with Ohio Turnpike bonds while preserving the toll way as a public entity, according to state lawmakers briefed Wednesday night on the plan. The proposal means the Ohio Turnpike won’t be sold or leased to a private operator an option that drew complaints about the possibility of higher tolls and job losses for those who work on the 241-mile toll road that cuts across northern Ohio.

Fiscal cliff talks described as being ‘frank’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Face to face with time running short, President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner negotiated at the White House Thursday night in what aides called “frank” talks aimed at breaking a stubborn deadlock and steering the nation away from an economy-threatening “fiscal cliff.” Boehner returned to the Capitol an hour later, STAFF PHOTOS/ANTHONY WEBER briskly walking past Troy resident Jeanne Robinette spreads bird feed outside a home Thursday.

sidered by the White House� in negotiations. Sen. Dick Durbin told reporters that he did not get the information directly from the president or the White House. But as the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, Durbin is regularly apprised of the status of negotiations by key players such as Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Senior White House aide Gene Sperling briefed Senate Democrats on the Thursday and talks declined to tell them whether the administration was taking the issue off the table, said a senator who was present. That senator spoke only on condition of anonymity since he was not authorized to describe a meeting that was confidential. Increasing the eligibility age, currently 65, is a demand by key Republicans seeking cost curbs in popular benefit programs in exchange for higher tax revenues. Durbin’s comments on the Medicare eligibility age were surprising, since negotiators including Reid have been careful to not preclude the possibility of agreeing to such an increase perhaps as a latestage concession in a potential deal between Obama and Boehner. At a news conference, Reid again called on House Republicans to allow a vote on renewing Bush-era tax cuts for the 98 percent of taxpayers whose incomes are below $250,000. Obama vows to force rates on family income exceeding $250,000 from a top rate of 35 percent to the Clinton-era rate of 39.6 percent. He said the alternative is to allow tax cuts for everyone to expire. “At some point, reality should set in,� Reid said. Reid cited comments by Sen. John Cornyn of Texas to Politico.com, in which Cornyn, soon to be the No. 2 Senate Republican, said, “I believe we’re going to pass the $250,000 and below sooner or later, and we really don’t have much leverage� because those rates are going to expire anyway on Dec. 31. On Thursday, Sen. Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican and leading conservative figure, predicted that Obama would prevail in the fight over taxes. “He’s going to get his wish. I believe we’re going to be raising taxes, and not just on the top earners,� DeMint, who is leaving the Senate to become president of the Heritage Institution think tank, said in an appearance on “CBS This Morning.�

“It was a labor of love and a lot of tough work to get it done; but it was worth it,” Shook said. He also thanked a long list of the people who worked with him to accomplish this goal. “The bikeway has become an asset for the community and on any given day, hundreds of people use it as part of a healthy lifestyle,” Myers said. “It adds to the exceptional quality of life here in Miami County.” Today all sections of the trail in Miami County have been completed with the exception of the Robert J. Shook Bikeway Bridge, which is scheduled for construction in 2014.

the way it is,” Wachtmann said. “I think the governor is to be commended.” The governor’s latest plan calls for northern Ohio road projects to get priority treatment, a move necessary to obtain buy-in from the communities that have long paid tolls for using the roadway as well as relying on it for jobs. State Sen. Gayle Manning, a North Ridgeville Republican, said she had been concerned about how leasing the roadway would affect her northeast Ohio community. She said she is eager to hear details, but feels Kasich may have struck a compromise that will preserve jobs while also raising money to address a deficit in funding for highway projects. “Right out of the gate, I wasn’t happy about leasing it,” she said. “This might be a good compromise. It keeps the infrastructure how we like it, and yet we won’t see other roads deteriorate.” Kasich is expected to ask for modest toll increases for vehicles traversing the state, while freezing rates for a decade for those making turnpike trips of

Wachtmann said toll increases would be minimal, in order to keep truck traffic from leaving the turnpike for local roads. “I don’t think anybody can possibly claim that what the governor is doing is not good for Ohio, because they went through a very thorough process,” he said. Spokesmen for the governor, the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Office of Budget and Management all declined to provide details of the plan earlier Wednesday. Kasich at first appeared to be intent on leasing or selling the road, but local leaders from counties and cities along the along the turnpike objected loudly, saying they feared higher tolls that would drive more traffic onto routes that meander through small towns. Tolls have nearly doubled since investors took over the Indiana Toll Road. In Ohio, it’s now $16.50 for cars making a full trip on the turnpike, which expects to collect a $250 million from motorists this year.

Official: Chavez suffered complications in surgery CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez suffered bleeding during his cancer surgery in Cuba but was recovering from the complications, Venezuela’s government said Thursday. Chavez suffered “bleeding that required the use of corrective measures� during Tuesday’s surgery, Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said, reading a government statement. It said those measures allowed for the “opportune control� of the bleeding. Villegas also said that Chavez was going through “a progressive and favorable recovery of the normal values of his vital signs.� “This recovery process, nevertheless, will require a prudent period of time as a consequence of the complexity of the surgery performed,� he said. Villegas expressed hope

a day earlier about the president returning home for his Jan. 10 swearing-in for a new six-year term, but said in a written message on a government website that if Chavez isn’t well enough by then “our people should be prepared to understand it.� Chavez underwent his fourth cancer-related operation in Havana after announcing that tests had found the illness had come back despite previous operations, chemotherapy and treatments. radiation Chavez has kept secret some details about the pelvic cancer, including the type and location of the tumors that have been removed. Vice President Nicolas Maduro had looked grim on when he Wednesday acknowledged that Chavez faced a “complex and hard� process after his latest surgery.

Amid the bad news, officials have sought to show a united front amid the growing worries about health and Chavez’s Venezuela’s future. Key leaders of Chavez’s party and military officers appeared together on television as Maduro gave updates on Chavez’s condition. “We’re more united than ever,� said Maduro, who was flanked by National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello and Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez, both key members of Chavez’s inner circle. “We’re united in loyalty to Chavez.� Analysts say Maduro could eventually face challenges in trying to hold together the president’s diverse “Chavismo� movement, which includes groups from radical leftists to moderates, as well as military factions.

Tapped by the 58-yearold president over the weekend as his chosen political heir, Maduro is considered to be a member of radical left wing of Chavez’s movement that is closely aligned with Cuba’s communist government. Cabello, a former military officer who also wields power within Chavez’s movement, shared the spotlight with Maduro by speaking at a Mass for Chavez’s health at a military base. Just returned from being with Chavez for the operation, Cabello called the president “invincibleâ€? but said “that man who is in Havana ‌ is fighting a battle for his life.â€? After Chavez’s six-hour operation Tuesday, Venezuelan television broadcast religious services where people prayed for Chavez, interspersed with rallies for campaign upcoming gubernatorial elections. On the streets of Caracas, people on both sides of the country’s deep political divide voiced concerns about Chavez’s condition and what might happen if he died. At campaign rallies ahead of Sunday’s gubernatorial elections, Chavez’s candidates urged Venezuelans to vote for pro-government candidates while they also called for the president to get well. Many observers said it was likely Chavez’s candidates could get a boost from their supporters’ outpouring of sympathy for Chavez. Opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who lost to Chavez in the October presidential election and is running against

gubernatorial candidate Elia Jaua, complained Wednesday that his rival and other Chavez allies are taking advantage of the president’s health problems to try to rally support. Maduro looked sad as he spoke on television on Wednesday. “It was a complex, difficult, delicate operation,� he said. “The post-operative process is also going to be a complex and hard process.� Without giving details, the vice president reiterated Chavez’s recent remarks that the surgery presented risks and that people should be prepared for any “difficult scenarios.� The constitution says presidents should be sworn in before the National Assembly, and if that’s not possible then before the Supreme Court. Former Supreme Court magistrate Roman Duque Corredor said a president cannot delegate the swearing-in to anyone else and cannot take the oath of office outside Venezuela. A president could still be sworn in even if temporarily incapacitated, but would need to be conscious and in Venezuela, Duque told The

Associated Press. If a president-elect is declared incapacitated by lawmakers and is unable to be sworn in, the National Assembly president would temporarily take charge of the government and a new presidential vote must be held within 30 days, Duque said. Chavez said Saturday that if an election had to be held, Maduro should be elected president. Chavez has undergone four cancer-related surgeries since June 2011. He has also undergone months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Throughout his treatments, Chavez has kept secret some details of his illness, including the exact location and type of the tumors. Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa wished his close ally the best, while also acknowledging the possibility that cancer might end his presidency. “Chavez is very important for Latin America, but if he can’t continue at the head of Venezuela, the processes of change have to continue,� Correa said at a news conference in Quito.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Sudan may face more charges for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Thursday. Fatou Bensouda told the U.N. Security Council that crimes continue to be committed under Sudan’s “government-avowed goal of stopping the rebellion in Darfur.� She said the incidents under investigation include bombings and bombardments, the blocking of distribution of humanitarian aid and “direct attacks on civilian populations.� More than 300,000 people have been killed in the Darfur conflict since rebels took up arms against the central government nearly 10 years ago, accusing it of discrimination and neglect. Violence has tapered off, but clashes continue. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and several other Sudanese leaders already face arrest war-

rants from the court. AlBashir, whose country is not a member of the court, has traveled extensively since he was indicted by the court in 2009 and again in 2010 for crimes including genocide and extermination in Darfur. Security Council ambassadors urged renewed efforts to arrest al-Bashir and bring him to trial, along with several others. “The failure of the government of Sudan to implement the five arrest warrants seems symbolic of its ongoing commitment to a military solution in Darfur, which has translated into a strategy aimed at attacking civilian populations over the last 10 years, with tragic results,� Bensouda told the council. Sudan’s Ambassador Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman dismissed much of the violence in Bensouda’s report, attributing it to traditional tribal clashes, and said the court was pursuing a heavy-handed political persecution of Sudan.

To eat or not to eat: That is the question Unless you have a child in school, you may not know that, beginning this school year, the federal government decided it needed to dictate more than ever before what happens in school cafeterias. Lawmakers have been controlling what is sold to students for many years now, but this year they took their intrusion to an unprecedented level. Now they dictate not only what kids eat, but also portion size, calories and the number of grams of nutrients they should have. I’m not sure just where in the Constitution they are given this right, but that’s a discussion for another day. During the last several months school personnel were forced to spend untold numbers of hours trying to figure out how to implement this mandate while knowing that it was poorly conceived. Of course, this was time spent above and beyond the work they had to do to prepare for another school year. According to an article that appeared in Sunday’s Troy Daily News, it now appears that a couple of congressmen have figured out what school personnel have known all along — that the law wasn’t very well thought out.

For example, ignoring the mounds of research showing the ill effects retaining students has on their future success, our state lawmakers have created the third grade reading guarantee law. This law, which has already been tried and rescinded at the fourth grade level, requires that students who don't read at a predetermined level will be retained. In a couple of years we’ll be revisiting this law, too, but only after untold dollars and time have been wasted and kids have been harmed. In another indefensible mandate, Ohio’s lawmakers have decided that for a high school student to earn a diploma he/she must pass Algebra II. Educators know and common sense tells us that not every high school student has the ability to pass Algebra II, nor do they need to. Yet, once again our lawmakers know better and kids will be forced to take a class they cannot pass. I only wish that we could force our lawmakers to take an Algebra II final exam then post their results for the world to see. Now, that would be poetic justice. The new teacher evaluation law, the law forcing school districts to address a student’s online conduct outside of school, the requirement that schools teach students about dating etiquette, and the “in the works” law that changes the state report card for the thousandth time are more examples of foolish laws that continue to be forced upon us and that waste our time and money. Will it ever end?

The anxiety that comes with Christmas cards According to Hallmark — because you know enough to send the (most expensive) very best — Christmas is the largest card-sending holiday in the United States with approximately 1.6 billion cards sent annually. And this year I will be part of the 1.6 billion card senders since this year I am actually forcing myself to send out Christmas cards to close friends and family – and I’m terrified. Why you ask? Because once you start sending Christmas cards, there’s this annual anxiety attack of making sure you include every single person you sent one to the prior year. You know you envision those friends and family members pausing at the kitchen counter with cheeks flushed from the jaunt to the mailbox. You picture their reaction to seeing your name or picture on the card as they reflect for 10 seconds on who you are and the last time your paths crossed. Then you picture the same scene only without your family’s card in the large stack this year and you know they are thinking: Wonder why we didn’t get a card from so-and-so this year? You know, that kind of holiday card anxiety.

Melanie Yigst Troy Daily News Columnist I know. I'm a neurotic nut. My traditional excuse in the past was that I never felt permanently settled enough to send a card to distant relatives or college friends. I would have felt awful if I had moved and not left a forwarding address so if they had the entire 365 days to fulfill the reciprocity requirement attached to such tokens of holiday tradition they would do so with ease. Holiday cards aren’t so bad, it’s sometimes what accompanies them that can attest for some kind of mental disorder. Because folks, ‘tis the season to highlight all the family accomplishments of the year in the form of the annual “Holiday Newsletter.” The new term for these annual roundups of family accomplish-

ment is now called “Holiday Brag Letters.” You know the families that send out letters of how little Suzy won the district spelling bee. Little Johnny broke his arm trying to save a mother and her baby kittens from certain death in a barn blaze. Grandma June took first prize in the county fair’s apple pie contest. Father Tim was able to put up only 121,000 Christmas lights this year due to the economy. We sure were hoping to top last year’s light count of 125,000 but we ran out of hired help. “Holiday Brag Letters” would be more entertaining if only people were more forthcoming about their family trials and tribulations. Brother Hank moved home after losing his job in the typewriter industry. Aunt Gina sold her double-wide after her fourth divorce. It was a nice lot with a great view of the wastewater treatment plant too. Little Bobby still can’t read but he sure can make some pretty neat stuff in art class at the juvenile detention center. Yet, I’ve found many people are no longer taking the time to write their “Holiday Brag Letters” and instead are opting for more subtle forms of communication which now flood our mailboxes — custom holiday photo cards.

Earlier this week, I had got in touch with my cousin Debbie who has a knack for correspondence and Emily Post-like mail etiquette. You know, she's that one person in the family who can perfectly time a birthday card to arrive on the actual birth date? Every family has one of these people, right? Cousin Debbie also has a knack of wrapping Christmas presents with Martha Stewart perfection. To top it all off, she can tie a Tiffany bow. I am not making this up. She's a super human. Anyhow, I had contacted my dear Cousin Debbie to ask what her biggest pet peeve of Christmas card etiquette was before I sent her card down to Miami Beach. Cousin Debbie lamented how people don't even sign the cards anymore. "Two photo cards received today ... neither signed! What's wrong with people!" cousin Debbie said. So I went back, opened up the card, signed my name on Debbie’s card and sent it out along with this column before it joined the 1.6 billion others floating around the country this year.

In the early 1970s, Woodland moved to Raleigh to join a team at IBM’s Research Triangle Park, N.C., facility.

Senate eyes ban of stalking software WASHINGTON (AP) — A loophole that permits software companies to sell cyberstalking apps that operate secretly on cellphones could soon be closed by Congress. The software is popular among jealous wives or husbands because it can continuously track the whereabouts of a spouse. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill Thursday that makes it a crime for companies to make and intentionally operate a stalking app. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., also would curb the appeal for such inexpensive and easyto-use programs by requiring companies to disclose their existence on a target’s phone. Stalking and wiretapping already are illegal, but there are no provisions in federal law that clearly prohibit businesses from making an app whose primary purpose is to help one person stalk another. Franken’s proposal would extend the criminal and civil liabilities for the improper use of the apps to include the software companies that sell them. The proposal would update laws passed years before wireless technology revolutionized communications. Telephone companies currently are barred from disclosing to businesses the locations of people who make traditional phone calls. But there’s no such prohibition when communicating over

the Internet. If a mobile device sends an email, links to a website or launches an app, the precise location of the phone can be passed to advertisers, marketers and others without the user’s permission. “What’s most troubling is this: Our law is not protecting location information,” said Franken, chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on privacy, technology and the law. The ambiguity has created a niche for companies like Retina Software, which makes ePhoneTracker and describes it as “stealth phone spy software.” It’s available online for about $50. “Suspect your spouse is cheating?” the company’s website says. “Don’t break the bank by hiring a private investigator.” An emailed statement from Retina Software said the program is for the lawful monitoring of a cellphone that the purchaser of the software owns and has a right to monitor. If there is evidence the customer doesn’t own the phone, the account is closed, the company said. The program is not intended or marketed for malicious purposes and doesn’t facilitate stalking, the statement said. But Franken and supporters of his bill said there is no way to ensure the rules are followed. These programs can be installed in moments, perhaps while the

cellphone’s actual owner is sleeping or in the shower. The apps operate invisibly to the cellphone’s user. They can silently record text messages, call logs, physical locations and visits to websites. All the information is relayed to an email address chosen by the installer. Even when people discover the software on their phones, they don’t know what to do, said Rick Mislan, a Rochester Institute of Technology professor who specializes in mobile security and forensics. “Law enforcement usually won’t help them because they’ve got bigger fish to fry,” he said. Franken’s bill is a common-sense step to curb stalking and domestic violence by taking away a tool that gives one person power over another, victims advocacy groups said. “It’s really, really troubling that an industry would see an opportunity to make money off of strengthening someone’s opportunity to control and threaten another individual,” said Karen Jarmoc, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Franken’s bill would make companies subject to civil liability if they fail to secure permission before obtaining location information from a person’s cellphone and sharing it with anyone else. They also would be liable if they fail to tell a

user no later than seven days after the service begins that the program is running on their phone. Companies would face a criminal penalty if they knowingly operate an app with the intent to facilitate stalking. The bill includes an exception to the permission requirement for parents who want to place tracking software on the cellphones of minor children without them being aware it is there. A domestic violence case in St. Louis County, Minn., helped persuade Franken to introduce his bill. A woman had entered a county building to meet with her advocate when she received a text message from her abuser asking her why she was there, according to congressional testimony delivered last year by the National Network to End Domestic Violence. Frightened, she and her advocate went to the local courthouse to file for a protective order. She got another text demanding to know why she was at the courthouse. They later determined her abuser was tracing her movements with an app that had been placed on her cellphone. The woman was not identified by name in the congressional testimony. Franken said that while doing research for the bill, he heard similar stories from women in Iowa, Wisconsin, Arizona and several other states.

Officers asked him if Michael knew he was coming over at 1 a.m. and he said he did not know but he planned on stopping on his way home. Officers asked the male for his driver’s license, he said that he did not have his wallet with him. Officers got his social security number and checked him through LEADS, and found an outstanding warrant for failure to appear out of Miami County. The warrant was confirmed and Mr. Priest was taken into custody. The female passenger was the registered owner Sheryl Roadcap, who had also been drinking. When officers were checking the vehicle, she stated that there was an open container in the middle console, in a Crown Royal bag. She also said that it was her alcohol. Mrs. Roadcap was issued a citation for open container and she was released to her sober sisterin-law. Officers transported Mr. Priest to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, where he submitted to the field sobriety tests. Mr. Priest passed the field tests and was incarcerated on the outstanding warrant along with driving under suspension.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Bob Severson HERMISTON, Ore. — The civic leader known in Hermiston as “Mayor Bob” has died. Bob Severson, who moved to Hermiston in 1969 to open a grocery store, had a heart attack last week and died Monday at age 80, the East Oregonian reported (http://bit.ly/TVt213 ). He became mayor in 2001 after serving six years as a member of the City Council. In January, Severson announced he would not run for re-election so he could spend more time with his wife of 59 years. Jan Severson battled an aggressive form of cancer that has left her disabled. During his 12-year tenure as mayor, Hermiston’s population grew to become the largest in Eastern Oregon. He was on the committee to bring the Eastern Oregon Higher Education Center to Hermiston, helped form the Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center, pushed for industry such as Pioneer Seed, and supported a new wastewater treatment project. City Manager Ed Brookshier said Severson’s greatest civic accomplishment came long before he held a position on City Council, playing a pivotal role in developing a regional water system along with the city of Umatilla. “Bob chaired the council for the bond issue for regional water,” Brookshier said. “He joined with the city and the port to make that possible.” “He was always an advocate,” Brookshier said. “Whatever he could do to build this city, he always showed up.” Severson was born and raised in northwestern Minnesota. He spent 1951 to 1955 in the U.S. Navy during the Korean conflict. In addition to his wife, he is survived by three children, two grandchildren and

a great-grandchild. A funeral service is scheduled at 4 p.m. Friday in the Hermiston Conference Center.

• Abdessalam Yassine RABAT, Morocco — The founder of Morocco’s most powerful religious opposition movement and one of the few men to challenge the monarchy’s quasi-religious status died Thursday at 87, according to an online statement by his group. Abdessalam Yassine, founder of the Justice and Spirituality Movements, “has returned to God,” the organization’s guiding council said on its website. It added that the funeral will be held following Friday prayers at the capital Rabat’s main mosque a major honor. “I am still in shock; he passed away this morning,” said a tearful Nadia Yassine, his daughter, who also holds a leadership role in Al Adl wal Ihsan, the movement he founded in 1987. There is no exact count of the size of the movement, but it is often estimated to number in the hundreds of thousands, drawing its strength from charity work and present all over the country. The movement is officially banned and cannot participate in politics. Though it is tolerated, its members are often arrested. Yassine was under house arrest for decades before he was released by the current king in 2000. He refused to recognize the king’s religious title of Commander of the Faithful. For a while the group joined the pro-democracy February 20 movement that emerged in 2011, adding its manpower to the demonstrations that rocked the country during the Arab Spring. With the election victory of a legal Islamist party in November, however, the group took a much lower profile.

You and Joe won’t have a future until he learns to be independent

Today: 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Spotlight 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: I'm a 54-year-old single woman and a part-time college professor. I have three grown, successful children. At the time I met my boyfriend, "Joe," I was living in a nice boardinghouse in an affluent area. Joe, 63, was divorced and for five years had been living with two of his sisters in the old family home in a working-class neighborhood. Joe had a great job as a contractor. After a year, my friends and I finally convinced Joe to move out of the family house, and we got an apartment together. Life was great until I found out he was giving the rent money to his youngest son, 24. My income alone wouldn't cover the rent, and we were evicted. Joe moved back to the family nest. I was not invited and was left homeless. After six months, I got back on my feet. Joe wanted to repair our relationship and got an apartment in the city. Meanwhile, his eldest son and his daughter (along with her baby) moved into the family house, although they both have good jobs. After a year in his apartment, Joe lost his job and moved back in with his sisters. I begged him to find a place where we could live together, but he made excuses about the money. I think the problem is that the familial need to live together is permanently instilled. I love him, and he says he loves me. What should I do? — From a Boardinghouse Dear Boarding: When Joe found his own apartment, it was a step in the right direction. But whenever the chips are down, he goes right back to his family. This is not unusual, but if it's a longterm pattern, it could prevent him from making any commitment to you. Until Joe is ready to become independent, the two of you don't have much of a future. But you also seem overly focused on affluent vs. working class. If you want someone more ambitious, look elsewhere. Dear Annie: Would you please settle an etiquette question? When one hosts a party and guests bring a dish to share, do they take home whatever is left over, or do the hosts get to keep it? I was taught that what one brings to a party is left with the hosts. Now we wonder whether this is correct, because we recently moved, and all of our new friends pack up whatever remains and take it home with them. — Wondering in Maine Dear Maine: If all the guests are asked to bring a dish because the dinner is potluck, they may take their leftovers home. Guests who bring a dish or a bottle of wine as a hostess gift, shared or not, should definitely leave it. The only exception is when the hosts do not want the leftovers and ask that people please take food home with them. That said, however, if the custom within your group of friends is that everyone brings a dish and they each take their leftovers home, it's best to cooperate. Dear Annie: This letter is in response to "Grateful Mama of Little One," who wanted to know the proper way to ask that no toys be given at her 1-year-old's birthday party. Although I agree that birthday invitations should not come with "wish lists," saying "no toys, please" is a courtesy. As someone who spends a great deal of time selecting the perfect gift, I would feel miffed if I discovered the child's mother had marched the gift right back to the store. There is no harm in putting "no toys" on the invitation. Everyone may be grateful. — Grand Island, Neb. Dear Grand: A gift is just that and should not be dictated. But we do like the idea of parents creating a "theme party," where guests are asked to bring a book or another item to be donated.

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

HINTS FROM HELOISE

This simple idea will help protect the home front Dear Heloise: Sometimes service-repair workers show up without covers to protect the carpets/floors when they have to walk through. That makes me pretty nervous! I have found that the cheapest white tablecloths from the discount store work great. Fold lengthwise for doublestrength coverage. Tape the ends with a wide tape that does not leave residue on the carpet/floor. The tape will keep the temporary floor runner in place and keep the ends from tripping up the repair person. I still wonder why all services don’t have disposable

Hints from Heloise Columnist booties available if their work requires going inside the home. — Mary A., via email A good point, and thanks for the hint. I’d love to hear from the professionals on this issue. You could ask them to take their shoes off, like folks in Hawaii do. It keeps the floors clean! — Heloise

UNSHRINKING A SWEATER Dear Heloise: Help! I shrunk one of my favorite sweaters. Is there anything I can do to reshape it? — A Reader, via email I do have an old-fashioned remedy that might help. It works if the sweater has shrunk only a small bit, not several sizes. Fill your sink with cool water and add 2 tablespoons of regular hair shampoo. Soak the sweater for 30 minutes, then gently squeeze out the excess water. Do not rinse the sweater — simply lay it on a towel and roll it up to

remove moisture. Unroll and gently stretch it back into shape, and block it on a flat towel. Have any other clothing disasters that you need help with? Order my pamphlet Heloise’s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing. Send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Prior to washing, trace around the sweater. Once out of the washing machine, you now have a guide for reshaping your sweater. — Heloise

Delight in playful activities with children. Let romance swoon dizzily along. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your attention definitely is focused on home, family and your domestic life. Conversations with a parent probably will be significant. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The tempo of your days is accelerating because of short trips, errands and your desire to enlighten others.

That’s par for the course now, for all Scorpios. Actually, you’re embarking on a whole new path! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This continues to be your strong time in the Sun. Use it to your advantage, because auspicious circumstances and important people will easily be attracted to you now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Continue to work alone or behind the scenes to further your best interests. You’ve got a plan. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Share your hopes and dreams for the future with others because their feedback will be helpful to you now. Join clubs, groups, classes and associations. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Just accept the fact that you are in the limelight now because the Sun is so high in your chart. The good news is that this light is flattering! YOU BORN TODAY People see you as easygoing and cheerful, which is why you are well-liked. You are certainly an optimist who believes in your own good luck. In truth, what others value is your ability to see good in them. They find this so encouraging! You never hesitate to make a fresh start. Your year ahead will be very social and one that blesses all your relationships. Birthdate of: Michelle Dockery, actress; Michael Shanks, actor; Edna O’Brien, author.

In 2012 Sarah and Christine Clayton of Sidney tied for best in show, and a second vote was needed to determine the winner.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Dec. 14, the 349th day of 2012. There are 17 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 14, 1962, the U.S. space probe Mariner 2 passed Venus at a distance of just over 21,000 miles, transmitting information about the planet, such as its hot surface temperatures and predominantly carbon dioxide atmosphere. On this date: • In 1799, the first president of the United States, George Washington, died at his Mount Vernon, Va., home at age 67. • In 1861, Prince Albert, hus-

band of Queen Victoria, died at Windsor Castle at age 42. • In 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan concluded their third and final moonwalk and blasted off for their rendezvous with the command module. • In 1981, Israel annexed the Golan Heights, which it had seized from Syria in 1967. • In 1986, the experimental aircraft Voyager, piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, took off from Edwards Air Force Base in California on the first non-stop, non-refueled flight around the world.

• One year ago: President Barack Obama, visiting Fort Bragg in North Carolina, saluted troops returning from Iraq, asserting that the nearly nine-year conflict was ending honorably. • Today’s Birthdays: Jazz musician Clark Terry is 92. Actress Patty Duke is 66. Actress Dee Wallace is 64. Actress Cynthia Gibb is 49. Actress Natascha McElhone is 43. Actress-comedian Michaela Watkins is 41. Rhythm-and-blues singer Brian Dalyrimple (Soul For Real) is 37. Actress KaDee Strickland is 37. Actress Tammy Blanchard is 36. Actress Vanessa Hudgens is 24.

‘What Rhymes With America’ is quirky fun NEW YORK (AP)— Desperation, poor timing, denial, miscommunication, estrangement, insecurities. All the stuff of comedy thanks to Melissa James Gibson’s gift of quirky, intellectual writing as presented in her inventive new play “What Rhymes With America.” World-premiering offBroadway at the Atlantic Theater Company, the smart production that opened Wednesday night is filled with thoughtful moments, humor and weird truths. Gibson has a knack for giving her characters increasingly compelling, disjointed dialogue, nonsequiturs and silences. Director Daniel Aukin has staged many of Gibson’s plays in New York, most recently “This,” and his compatibility with her writing and intent is on stylish display here. Scenes and dialogue often overlap, reflecting the disparate characters’ similar feelings. Chris Bauer is complex and ingratiating as Hank, a down-on-his luck father in his 40s who, with fiscal imprudence, imploded his marriage of two decades and lost his university job. Gamely working as a silent opera extra, Hank still pines for his almost-exwife, Gina (never seen), and tries mightily to rekindle a relationship with his estranged teenage daughter, Marlene (Aimee Carrero, sweet and delicately glum). With all contact forbidden, Hank nonetheless conducts some earnest, stumbling conversations with Marlene through her closed front door. Bauer, television star of “True Blood” and “The Wire,” gives Hank a realistically resigned air, mingling frus-

Marlene composes and sings dysthymic songs about how messed up the world is, saying flatly that “Far Awayness” is her primary criterion for a college. Yet, while Carrero gives comical readings to teenage self-obsessions, such as “I think my teeth might be going buck,” her Marlene also comes across

as possibly the most emotionally mature person in this bunch. Seana Kofoed is endearingly childlike as emotionally stunted Lydia, a neurotic, 40something medical writer. Lydia’s awkward, almostconnecting date with Hank is a very funny, welltimed farce by Bauer and Kofoed.

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.

Angels ink big bat, get Josh Hamilton Josh Hamilton is heading to the Los Angeles Angels, lured with a $125 million, five-year contract that steps up the migration of high-profile stars to Southern California. The Angels persuaded the free-agent outfielder to leave the Texas Rangers with their third big-money offseason signing in as many years. Hamilton heads to Anaheim after first baseman Albert Pujols came West for $240 million last December. See Page 16.

Vikings win 6th straight Devils drop 4th game in a row Staff Reports PITSBURGH — Defense gave Miami East a big lead. And defense polished off the game. The Vikings (6-0, 3-0 Cross County Conference) allowed only two points in the first quarter then shut out Franklin Monroe in the fourth, adding a 78-16 victory to its collection Thursday night. “We set the tone early with some good pressure,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “We forced them into some turnovers and got some easy buckets. And we scored 45 points in the second half, which is a good sign. “We had 10 kids in the book and played 11. We got to mix in some girls that we may need for longer runs later in the season, and they took advantage of those opportunities.”

Bengals lead Eagles by 14 after 3 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andy Dalton scrambled 11 yards for a touchdown and Wallace Gilberry returned a fumble 25 yards for a score just 49 seconds later, helping the Cincinnati Bengals build a 27-13 lead against the Philadelphia Eagles early in the fourth quarter. The Eagles snapped a drought of 22 quarters without a turnover by recovering two fumbles in the second. Both led to field goals by Alex Henery, helping Philadelphia to a 13-10 halftime lead. An interception by Leon Hall set up Dalton’s go-ahead TD in the third quarter. Then Gilberry picked up Bryce Brown’s fumble and ran it back for an 11-point lead.

Goodell should heed Tags’ tips

Angels score big name in Hamilton

BY JIM LITKE AP Sports Columnist Paul Tagliabue has become one of those guys we come to appreciate much more out of office than we did when he was in it. Part of that is because history has been kind, so far, in assessing his 17-year run as commissioner. Some of it may have to do with his successor. Tagliabue lacked charisma, but never smarts. Low-key and pragmatic to the end, he rarely made himself the story. He reminded us of that again this week by giving both sides in Bountygate enough to tone down their feud, even as it was about to get uglier. Instead of bluster or threats, Tagliabue used legal jujitsu to solve a problem quickly and quietly, so everyone could get back to the field and the real business of making money. The same principle he applied in that decision could have characterized Tagliabue’s no-nonsense reign: It’s the game, stupid. Contrast that with Roger Goodell. While the current commissioner doesn’t suffer in any comparison on the business side, he should learn to tone it down. The NFL has never been more popular and a look at this weekend’s slate of games demonstrates why. There are so many matchups between contenders spread over a half-dozen towns that Week 15 looks like the playoffs have already begun. It would take considerable luck and scrambling for the postseason to come up with three games that look as entertaining as San Francisco at New England, Denver at Baltimore and Chicago at Green Bay. But that wasn’t enough for Goodell. Speaking after an owners meeting Wednesday in the Dallas area, Goodell took issue with Tagliabue’s ruling in Bountygate, contending his predecessor let the players off the hook too easy. Never mind that Tagliabue did the same for Goodell, shoring up the shaky scaffolding of an investigation that couldn’t afford to take many more hits. “My personal view is I hold everyone responsible,” Goodell said. “Player health and safety is an important issue in this league. We’re all going to have to contribute to that, whether you’re a commissioner, whether you’re a coach, whether you’re a player, and we all have to be held accountable for it.” Considering the week he just had, and the two previous weekends trying to soothe grieving families and teammates following senseless tragedies, you would think Goodell would be laying low. So naturally, he went against the grain and let slip that the league will charge a committee with looking into expanding the playoffs to 14 or even 16 teams. Not surprising, it drew about as much support from players as an earlier proposal he floated for an 18game regular season. In a tweet, the Packers Tom Crabtree suggested that while Goodell was at it, he might as well lengthen the preseason, too, expand the regular season to 82 games “(like nba)” and turn the playoffs into a “like triple elimination?” More to the heart of the issue was this from Sports Illustrated magazine’s Peter King: “The NFL has to stop thinking of ways to make more money, and start thinking of ways to keep the game the best game in America.” To be fair, Goodell has tried. He might have been reluctant to take on the concussion-related issues that cloud the game’s future the same ones that flew under the radar during Tagliabue’s tenure, and those of his predecessors. But he’s made a largely good-faith effort since. No doubt it’s difficult striking a balance as both CEO of an enterprise that rakes in $9 billion a year while at the same time protecting the employees that make the game go. With mounting litigation over those very same player-safety problems, everything he says is likely to be parsed for its value in a court of law one day. But the more he stubbornly defends every one of his positions — even the ones, as in Bountygate, where Goodell cherry-picked evidence and arrived at the wrong conclusion — the less of an honest broker he becomes. Not to mention a bigger distraction. The more headlines Goodell grabs, the less there are for the games themselves, which is where a commissioner’s focus should be directed. Besides, the league has plenty of high-priced lawyers to help it chart a course through what already resembles a legal minefield. And nobody rushes generals to the front in fights anymore. So maybe a few weeks in the background and away from the bully pulpit would do Goodell’s reputation a lot of good right now. Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Josh the playoffs for the third straight Hamilton is heading to the Los year.

Hamilton was “imminent or heads to Anaheim after required.” first baseman Albert HAMILTON But owner Arte Pujols came West for $240 million last December along Moreno pulled off another coup by with pitcher C.J. Wilson getting Hamilton. The 2010 AL Hamilton’s Texas teammate for MVP, Pujols and AL Rookie of the Year Mike Trout combined for 103 $77.5 million. Still, the Angels failed to make home runs and 316 RBIs last sea-

son. “It’s a great day to be an Angel/Angel fan!” Wilson said on his Twitter account. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Hamilton had reached a deal with the AL West rival Angels. Two people familiar with the talks disclosed the amount and length of the contract, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet final. Hamilton’s $25 million average salary matches Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard for the second-highest in baseball, trailing only Alex Rodriguez’s $27.5 million average with the New York Yankees. Since the contract wasn’t final, the Angels didn’t comment pub-

licly. The team said in a statement, “We continue to look for ways to improve our team. As soon as we have something formal to announce, we will do so.” Moreno and manager Mike Scioscia didn’t immediately respond to phone messages. The Angels allowed free agent outfielder Torii Hunter to sign with Detroit, and he reacted to his former team’s latest move on his Twitter account. “I was told money was tight but I guess the Arte had money hidden under a Mattress. Business is business but don’t lie,” Hunter wrote. He followed up with the comment, “Great signing for the Angels. One of the best players in baseball.”

Saints fire back at NFL

Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (33) runs the ball as Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Javier Arenas (21) defends in Cleveland Sunday.

Old frenemies Richardson, Morris renew rivalry in NFL BEREA (AP) — Trent Richardson remembers Redskins running back Alfred Morris with long hair and one of his teammates stupidly yanking on it before a game. “He got so hot and everyone was so scared of him,” Richardson said. “Nobody would touch him. He was a big guy. He was the biggest dude out there.” Morris, too, can picture Richardson a bigger-thanaverage kid, years before he started carrying the ball for the Browns. “He had calves of a grown man,” Morris said. The two rookies, who began their football careers bashing their way to stardom on sandlots in their hometown of Pensacola, Fla., a football talent hotbed, took dissimilar paths to the NFL. But they’ll cross paths again and renew their rivalry Sunday when the Browns (5-8) host the Redskins (7-6).

Richardson was expected to have an immediate impact on the Browns, and despite playing for weeks with a rib injury that won’t be fully healed until the offseason, the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft has lived up to projections. He’s rushed for 869 yards and matched the team rookie record with nine rushing touchdowns, a mark he shares with Hall of Famer Jim Brown, who caused a controversy when he called Richardson “ordinary” after the Browns selected him. Richardson has been special. Morris has been even better for the Redskins. The sixth-round pick (No. 173 overall) from Florida Atlantic enters this week’s game with 1,228 yards and seven scores. Morris is fourth among the league’s top rushers and he’s the latest in a long line of young backs to thrive under Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, who had four rookies top 1,000 yards rushing in

Denver. Shanahan’s system has helped Morris, but the humble 23-yearold has earned every yard through hard work and dedication values he developed in Pensacola, also the home of career rushing leader Emmitt Smith. Morris arrived at Redskins camp driving a 1991 Mazda, and although he can now afford to replace the car with 125,000 miles on the odometer, Morris has no intention of splurging. And when he visits his parents’ home, he usually stays on the couch. “I actually like the couch,” he said. “It’s pretty comfortable.” He’s equally relaxed in the same backfield with dynamic quarterback Robert Griffin III, giving the Redskins an offense that’s become one of the league’s most potent attacks. Morris is outshining Richardson, but he’s not gloating about any statistical advantage over his longtime peer.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — One day after his suspension in the NFL’s bounty probe was overturned, Jonathan Vilma moved forward with his defamation claims against Commissioner Roger Goodell, while Drew Brees and other teammates went on the offensive against Goodell and the league office. “What I would like to see is a level of accountability on the part of the NFL and Commissioner Goodell in regards to mishandling of this entire situation,” Brees said after practice Wednesday. “We as players hold ourselves and are held to a very strict code of conduct both on and off the field. We have to be accountable to that, as it should be, and I feel like they should be held to the same standards. “If someone would just come out in the league office and admit, ‘You know what? We could have handled this situation better,’ it would go such a long way with both players and fans. People would really come around to realize what this thing was all about because right now the league office and Commissioner Goodell have very little to no credibility with us as players.” Speaking later at a special league meeting in Dallas, Goodell, when apprised of Brees’ comments, said he wouldn’t apologize. “To have a bounty program where you’re targeting players for injury is completely unacceptable in the NFL, and it is clear that occurred for three years despite all of the denials,” Goodell said. Vilma was initially suspended an entire season while three other players Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and freeagent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, received various suspensions of shorter lengths. In motions filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Vilma and the NFL Players Association filed motions dropping their claims against the league over the player-discipline phase of the bounty probe. However, Vilma notified U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan he would continue to pursue defamation claims he filed against the commissioner back in May.

More fruitless talks lead NHL nowhere NEW YORK (AP) — Two days of talks between the NHL, the players’ association, and federal mediators still haven’t provided any answers how to end the lockout. Representatives from the fighting sides made it into the same room with a federal mediator Thursday. They just didn’t make any noticeable progress. After a failed day Wednesday when the parties on either end of the hockey labor dispute never met with each other, lawyers from each group spoke face to face Thursday. They appear no closer to a deal to save the season. President Barack Obama addressed the stalemate in an interview Thursday with WCCOTV in Minneapolis. “My message to owners and to players is, ‘You guys make a lot of money and you make a lot of money on the backs of fans, so do

NHL LOCKOUT AT A GLANCE DATE: Thursday, Dec. 13. DAY: 89. LAST NEGOTIATIONS: Thursday, Dec. 13, in New Jersey. NEXT NEGOTIATIONS: None scheduled. GAMES LOST: 527 (all games through Dec. 30, plus New Year’s Day Winter Classic and AllStar weekend). MORE MEDIATION: A federal mediator met with legal representatives of the NHL and the players’ association for the second straight day Thursday. While the fighting sides did meet together in the same room, after being kept apart on Wednesday, no noticeable progress was made. NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr met with NHL lead counsel Bob Batterman on Thursday. Fehr is expected to speak with NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly on Friday to try to figure out what will happen next. Mediators will likely remain involved as negotiations proceed. WHAT WE MISSED: A heavy, 12-game Thursday night schedule was wiped out, including a visit by the Los Angeles Kings to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. The Stanley Cup champions would have kicked off a five-game road trip featuring four stops in the Eastern time zone and concluding on Dec. 20 at San Jose with the opener of a home-and-home set. ON THIS DAY LAST YEAR: Ottawa forward Milan Michalek, the NHL goal leader, sustained an upper body injury in a road game against the Buffalo Sabres and didn’t return. Michalek was hurt in a collision with teammate Erik Carlson with about 5 1-2 minutes left in the second period. Michalek had scored his 19th goal 1:09 into the game.

right by your fans. You can figure out how to spread out a bunch of revenue that you’re bringing in, but do right by the people who support you,’” Obama said. “And I shouldn’t have to be involved in a dispute between really wealthy

players and even wealthier owners. They should be able to settle this themselves. And remember who it is that’s putting all that money in their pockets.” Players’ association special counsel Steve Fehr, who met with

league lead counsel Bob Batterman on Thursday, said the sides intend to talk Friday either in person or by phone. “I expect the mediators will continue to be involved,” Fehr wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Do not want to characterize the discussion today.” At no point on either day this week did union executive director Donald Fehr meet with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly. Daly said he expected to talk to Steve Fehr today. “I’m not sure what the next steps will be,” Daly told the AP in an email. “I do expect the mediators to stay involved in terms of monitoring our ongoing negotiations, but at this point there are no further sessions planned. It doesn’t appear there was movement by either side on any of the main issues over the last two days.”

Mount Union faces newbies in D-III title game By The Associated Press The numbers are staggering, as if there must be a typo. But there is none. In 27 years as the head football coach at Mount Union, Larry Kehres’ Purple Raiders have played 358 games and won 331. They’ve lost 24, and tied three. His winning percentage of .929 is easily the best in college football history, and five of his losses have

come in the NCAA’s Division III national championship game, a game his team has also won 10 times. All the appearances have come since 1993. On Friday night in Salem, Va., the Purple Raiders (14-0) will play for the title again, meeting St. Thomas of Minnesota (140). It will be Mount Union’s 15th title appearance in 17 years, and the Tommies’ first. For Mount Union safety

Nick Driskill and 24 other seniors on the Purple Raiders, the game is much more than just another trip to Salem Stadium. It’s also their last chance to finally win a championship. For three seasons in a row heading into this one, Driskill’s memory has been a long bus ride back to Alliance, Ohio, the Purple Raiders having been beaten by Wisconsin-Whitewater for the championship. Since the Purple Raiders

won their first title in 1993, no class at Mount Union has gone all four years without winning at least one national championship. Driskill’s class could be the first. It’s why, he said, for all the awards he has won as an athlete and scholar, this game is the one that will determine whether he looks back on his college career in a positive light, or a negative one. “This is why I came to

Mount Union,” said Driskill, from Wabash, Ind. “It’s not just to play in national championships. It’s to win. As I look back on my career, whether I look back on it on a positive note or a negative note, personally for me, this is make-orbreak. I wouldn’t have it any other way.” • NAIA Championship Marian 30, Morningside 27 OT ROME, Ga. — Michael Josifovski made a 35-yard

field goal on the final play of regulation to force overtime and hit a 26-yarder in the extra session to give Marian (Ind.) a 30-27 victory over Morningside (Iowa) in the NAIA championship game Thursday night. Marian (12-1) won its first national title in only its sixth season of football. In the semifinals, Josifovski made a 51-yard field goal on the final play for a 20-17 victory over Missouri Valley College.

Dixie 45, Milton-Union 23 NEW LEBANON — A 15-0 run to start the game by Dixie — as well as a rough second half from the field — proved to be too much for Milton-Union to overcome in a 45-23 loss Thursday night. “We had a tough start, but we regrouped and played hard, cut it to nine at the half,” Milton-Union coach Richard Cline said. “But we went cold and only scored six in the second half.” Brooke Falb and Jordan Pricer each scored six points and Haley Martens added five points and five rebounds for the Bulldogs. “We’re still really struggling rebounding-wise,” Cline said. “We’ve got to get that better. We’ll keep working at it.” Milton-Union travels to

Future up in air for Big East NEW YORK (AP) — The Big East is headed for another break up. This time, the seven prominent basketball schools that don’t play FBS football are planning to break away from the ever-changing conference. The divorce is expected to be complicated, maybe even contentious, with millions of dollars and possibly the future of the league at stake. The Big East’s non-football members decided Thursday to separate from the conference, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because officials from those schools are still sorting through details and trying to figure how best to split from the conference. No official announcement is imminent. The seven schools that don’t play FBS-level football are St. John’s, Georgetown, Marquette, DePaul, Seton Hall, Providence and Villanova. Officials at those schools have concerns about the direction of the conference and feel as if they have little power to influence it. Commissioner Mike Aresco conferred by phone with the leaders of those seven schools earlier in the day, according to another

person familiar with the situation, also speaking on condition of anonymity. The current Big East football membership includes only four schools South Florida, Connecticut and Cincinnati, Temple that are committed to the league beyond 2013. But there are 11 schools with plans to join the Big East in the next three years, including Boise State and San Diego State for football only in 2013. Because those schools won’t be members until next summer, the majority of the voting members of the Big East are basketball schools right now. Still, those schools aren’t in position to dissolve the conference. That would take the votes of at least two football members, according to the Big East bylaws. The Catholic schools can leave without financial penalty. The Big East has provisions in its bylaws that allow a group of schools to leave without exit fees. But what they would do remains unclear, as are the legal ramifications of their actions. There has been speculation those seven basketball schools could merge with the Atlantic 10 or possibly add schools from that league to create a basketball-only conference of smaller Catholic schools.
