KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Taliban suicidebombers attacked a joint U.S.-Afghan air basein eastern Afghanistan early Sunday, detonat-ing explosives at the gate and sparking a gun-battle that lasted at least two hours withAmerican helicopters firing down on the mili-tants.

The attackers and at least five Afghanswere killed, officials said. Taliban spokesman

Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility forthe assault.

It was the largest attack on the Jalalabadair base since February, when a suicide carbombing at the gate triggered an explosionthat killed nine Afghans, six of them civilians.

In Sunday’s attack, two vehicles packedwith explosives barreled toward the main gateof the base around 6 a.m. local time. The first

vehicle, a four-wheel-drive car, blew up at thegate, said Hazrat Hussain Mashreqiwal, aspokesman for the provincial police chief.Guards started shooting at the second vehiclebefore it too exploded, he added. It was unclearwhether the explosives were detonated by theattackers themselves or by shooting from theguards.

Two Afghan students from a private med-ical school were caught up in the attack and

I was pleasantly surprisedthe other night when I went tosee the movie “Lincoln” and thetheater was full.

It does my heart good to seethat a serious historical moviecan still draw a crowd. I likesuperhero movies as much asthe next guy, but somehow it’sencouraging to see so manypeople who are still willing to goto a movie like “Lincoln.”

Of course, a large portion ofthe audience looked old enoughto have known Lincolnpersonally. See Page 5

Rob Morrison has saved theday more than once over theyears, having helped retrieve

a lost retainer, found a missingcredit card in the snow andsquared off with a wayward rac-coon.None of those things will show

up in his job description at HookElementary, but Morrison is happyto oblige. It’s part of the unwrittenportion of his job … at least for alittle while longer.Morrison, who has worked in

the Troy school district for the past34 years, will retire Jan. 1 fromHook, where he’s spent the past 26years as head custodian.After spending eight years

working at Troy High School,Morrison spent a brief three-month stint at Kyle Elementarybefore settling in at Hook for his26-year run. He’s responsible forthe overall maintenance of thebuilding so that it is safe and cleanfor students and staff, as well aschecking the school grounds andplayground equipment daily.Morrison said he’s taken those

responsibilities seriously from theget-go and takes pride in the factthat several people have told himover the years that he keeps thebuilding in immaculate shape.“I’ve had a principal even tell

me it was ‘military’ clean … andthat makes you feel good,” he said.“That’s the way I am in my person-al life. I’m a perfectionist and tryto take care of everything thatway.”There have been some moments

of excitement along the way, too,ranging from the day studentsfrom the amateur radio club wereable to speak with astronauts onthe space shuttle, to the time hewent toe-to-toe with a furry, four-legged intruder.“Once when I went in on a

weekend to do a building check, Ithought I heard a noise like some-one or something was in the build-ing. When I looked around, I could-n’t find the source of the noise, butI did find mud all over the floor inthe boys restroom that I had toclean up,” he remembered. “Then,when I went back in Monday

morning, I looked around againand, sitting in the corner of one ofthe rooms, was a big raccoon.“Needless to say, he wasn’t

happy when I had to shoo himback outside,” he continued.“Apparently, he got in sometimeover the weekend when someoneleft the door open.”Chances are, he won’t have to

worry about running into anyother animals in the buildingbefore his final day at the school,and that’s fine with him. ButMorrison said he will miss the peo-ple he deals with on a daily basis.“This is a hard decision. I’ll

miss the people and the daily rou-tine. This has been my life,” saidMorrison, who lives in Troy withhis wife, Julie. “I have enjoyedworking around the kids and manyof their parents, not only duringthe school day, but also throughspecial events,” he said. “Thesehave all added to making my jobfun and interesting.”Morrison said he also appreci-

ates working in an educationalenvironment that has made himfeel welcome over the past threedecades.“I never had to worry about

being unemployed. Troy schoolshave been a very secure place towork … and I have always consid-ered my job to be a home-away-from-home,” he said. “I feel fortu-nate that I have had this opportu-nity because I know that not

A hero’swelcomePalestinianpresidentreturns fromthe U.N.

RAMALLAH, WestBank (AP) — ThePalestinian presidentreturned triumphantly tothe West Bank on Sunday,receiving a boisterous wel-come from thousands ofcheering supporters at arally celebrating his peo-ple’s new acceptance to theUnited Nations.

An Israeli decision tocut off a cash transfer tothe financially troubledPalestinian Authority, fol-lowing an earlier decisionto build thousands of newhomes in Jewish settle-ments, failed to put adamper on the celebra-tions.

But Palestinian officialsacknowledged they wereundecided on what to dowith their newfound sta-tus, and were waiting forupcoming Israeli electionsand new ideas fromPresident Barack Obamabefore deciding how to pro-ceed.

Outside the headquar-ters of President MahmoudAbbas in the West Bankcity of Ramallah, some5,000 people thronged asquare, hoisted Palestinianflags andcheeredt h e i rleader’sr e t u r nf r o mN e wY o r k .L a r g epo s t e r sof thePalestinian leader, whosepopularity had plummetedin recent months, adornednearby buildings.

“We now have a state,”Abbas said to wildapplause. “The world hassaid loudly, ‘Yes to the stateof Palestine.’”

The United NationsGeneral Assembly lastweek overwhelminglyendorsed an independentPalestinian state in theWest Bank, east Jerusalemand the Gaza Strip, territo-ries Israel captured in the1967 war.

The move to upgradethe Palestinians to a non-member observer statedoes not change much on

the ground, but it carriesdeep potential significance.

The vote amounted to aninternational endorsementof the Palestinian positionon future border arrange-ments with Israel and anoverwhelming condemna-tion of Israeli settlementsin the areas claimed by thePalestinians.

Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahurejects a return to Israel’s1967 lines. Israel remainsin control in parts of theWest Bank and considerseast Jerusalem, thePalestinians’ hoped-for cap-ital, an integral part of itscapital. Israel also contin-ues to restrict access toGaza. Israel withdrewseven years ago from thecoastal strip, and it is nowruled by Hamas Islamicmilitants who regularly firerockets at Israel.

Israel, backed by theU.S., campaigned stronglyagainst the statehood meas-ure, accusing thePalestinians of trying tobypass direct peace negotia-tions, which it said were theonly viable path to aPalestinian state.

The Israeli lobbyingefforts failed miserably.Just eight other countriesvoted with Israel, and evenits closest allies in Europe,including Germany, Italy,France and Britain, eitherabstained or voted with thePalestinians.

Israel responded strong-ly and swiftly. The followingday, it said it would startdrawing up plans to buildthousands of settlementhomes, including the first-ever development on a cru-cial corridor east ofJerusalem.

Although the project islikely years away, if it hap-pens at all, the announce-ment struck a defiant tone.

Building in the area,known as E1, would severthe link between the WestBank and east Jerusalem,the sector of the holy citythe Palestinians claim for a

future capital, and cut offthe northern part of theWest Bank form its south-ern flank. The Palestiniansclaim such a scenario wouldessentially kill any hope forthe creation of a viablestate.

The U.S., Britain, Franceand other European statesall denounced the plan. OnSunday, the EuropeanUnion’s foreign policy chief,Catherine Ashton,expressed concern thatsuch settlement expansion“may represent a strategicstep undermining theprospects of a contiguousand viable Palestine withJerusalem as the share cap-ital of both it and Israel.She urged Israel to show itscommitment to the earlyrenewal of peace talks butnot going ahead with thesettlement plan.

“The European Unionhas repeatedly stated thatall settlement constructionis illegal under internation-al law and constitutes anobstacle to peace,” Ashtonsaid in a statement.

On Sunday, the Israeligovernment deliveredanother blow, saying it

would withhold more than$100 million in funds ittransfers to thePalestinians each month.

Instead, it said themoney taxes and customsduties that Israel collects onbehalf of the Palestinianswould be used to pay off itsdebts to Israeli companies,including $200 million owedto the state-run IsraelElectric Corp., governmentofficials said.

The monthly transfersare crucial for the cash-strapped PalestinianAuthority to pay salaries toits tens of thousands of civilservants and securityforces. Israel has taken sim-ilar measures in the pastbefore eventually releasingthe money.

At the weekly meeting ofhis Cabinet, Netanyahusaid the Palestinian state-hood campaign was a “grossviolation” of past agree-ments calling for disputesto be resolved throughnegotiations.

“Accordingly, the govern-ment of Israel rejects theU.N General Assembly deci-sion,” he told his Cabinet onSunday. He also pledged tocontinue building settle-ments.

“Today we are building,and we will continue tobuild in Jerusalem and inall areas that appear onIsrael’s map of strategicinterests.”

Half a million settlerslive in the West Bank andeast Jerusalem. The ongo-ing growth of the settle-ments is at the heart of thecurrent impasse in peaceefforts.

The Palestinians viewcontinued settlementexpansion as a show of badfaith and refuse to return tonegotiations unless con-struction is frozen.

“But it’s just been a lot of years … I’m readyto start a new chapter in my life,” he contin-ued. “There are some other interests that Iwould like to pursue, and retiring will allow

me to follow those interests and see wherethey might take me.”

The Troy native and 1979 Troy High Schoolgraduate said he hopes to wrap up a remodel-ing project with his brother-in-law, as well asspend some time working on a model railroad.

“The first priority is to finish my parents’home. We’ve been remodeling it — my brother-

in-law and I — and doing it ourselves and ittakes a lot of time,” he said. “And I’m intomodel railroading … and plan on building abig model railroad in my spare time, becausethat’s my hobby, and maybe even do some trainshows.”

Starting the first of the year, he should haveplenty of time.

Nine attackers tookpart in the assault in total,he said, three of whomwere killed in the suicideblasts and another sixgunmen who died in theensuing fighting that last-ed a few hours.

Maj. Martyn Crighton,a spokesman for the inter-national military force inAfghanistan, said that hel-icopters “were deployedand used.”

The NATO militarycoalition described theattack as a failure.

“We can confirm insur-gents, including multiplesuicide bombers, attackedJalalabad Airfield thismorning. None of theattackers succeeded inbreaching the perimeter,”Lt. Col. Hagen Messer, aspokesman for the inter-national military coalition,said in an email.

He said that the fight-ing had ended by mid-morning and that reportsshowed one member of theAfghan security forces waskilled.

Several foreign troopswere wounded, but Messerdid not give any numbersor details.

“The final assessmentof what happened thismorning is not yet com-plete, but initial reportsindicate there were threesuicide bombers,” Messersaid.

In the south, mean-while, a NATO servicemember was killed in aninsurgent attack, theinternational coalitionsaid in a statement. It didnot provide furtherdetails.

Why Is HandWashing So Important?A delicious mud pie, a good-luck rock or

a friendly frog are just a few of the presentschildren love to bring home to Mom andDad. But did you know that behind thoseadorable gifts – and countless others – mil-lions of germs could be lurking?

Kids may not always listen when you tellthem to wash their hands before eating, butit’s a message worth repeating. Hand wash-ing is by far the best way to prevent germsfrom spreading and to keep your kids fromgetting sick.

The First Line of DefenseAgainst Germs

Germs – such as bacteria and viruses –can be transmitted several different ways,especially by touching dirty hands or chang-ing dirty diapers. Other ways germs spreadinclude:

• through contaminated water and food• through droplets released during a

cough or a sneeze• through contaminated surfaces• through a sick person’s body fluidsIf kids pick up germs from one of these

sources, they can unknowingly becomeinfected simply by touching their eyes, noseor mouth. And once they’re infected, it’s usu-ally just a matter of time before the wholefamily comes down with the same illness.

Good hand washing is your first line ofdefense against the spread of many illness-es – and not just the common cold. Moreserious illnesses such as meningitis, bron-chiolitis, influenza, hepatitis A and mosttypes of infectious diarrhea can be stoppedwith the simple act of washing your hands.

How toWashYour Hands CorrectlyHere are some simple steps for scrub-

bing those germs away. Demonstrate thisroutine to your child – or better yet, washyour hands together with your child severaltimes a day so he or she learns how impor-tant this good habit is.

1.Wash your hands in warm water. Makesure the water isn’t too hot for little hands.

2. Use soap and lather up for about 10 to15 seconds (antibacterial soap isn’t neces-sary – any soap will do.) Make sure you getin between the fingers and under the nailswhere uninvited germs like to hang out. Anddon’t forget the wrists!

3. Rinse and dry well with a clean towel.To minimize the germs passed around

your family, make frequent hand washing arule for everyone, especially:

• before eating and cooking• after using the bathroom• after cleaning around the house

• after touching animals, including familypets

• before and after visiting or taking careof any sick friends or relatives

• after blowing one’s nose, coughing orsneezing

• after being outside (playing, gardening,walking the dog, etc.)

Don’t underestimate the power of hand-washing! The few seconds you spend at thesink with your child could save you trips tothe doctor’s office.

Germs! One in three people do notwash their hands afterusing the restroom.

TCT’s ‘Annie’is outstanding

To the Editor:Wow. Recently I sat through

Troy Civic Theatre’s productionof “Annie,” and I had a blast!The cast includes two dogs,

who were “spot” on (no pet punintended), and 17 little girls,some of whom are quite tiny,and just as adorable as theycan be!

Kayleigh Gleason, whoplayed Annie last night, isspunky, and weaves herselfinto Oliver Warbucks’ heart.Oliver Warbucks, played won-derfully by James Trzeciak,and his assistant Grace Farrell,played by Krissy McKim-Barker, have two of the mostbeautiful voices in the MiamiValley.The production was directed

by Barrie VanKirk, who, due toan emergency, has had to step

into the show and perform also— and boy is he funny! Kudosto the entire cast and crew ofthis fun, upbeat play that cele-brates optimism, love, family,and Christmas. I understandthat several performances aresold out. Don’t hesitate. Pickup the phone now and call forreservations, 339-7700.

DOONESBURY

The Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Journal on immigration reform:The election results aren’t likely to bring Democrats and

Republicans closer together on all the grave issues facing our coun-try, but it may have narrowed the gap on one of them — the unde-niable need for sweeping immigration reform.If true, a break in the impasse can’t happen fast enough.

President Barack Obama promised to deliver on comprehensiveimmigration legislation in his first term in office. He didn’t do thatduring his first two years when an amenable Congress was con-trolled by the Democrats.He was mostly stymied by a majority of Republicans after the

2010 midterm elections.Nevertheless, Obama did laudably take executive action this

year, announcing that the administration would be helping youngillegal immigrants get a chance to stay in the country rather thandeporting them.He also has pledged to work hard for broader reforms; the elec-

tion results may help him achieve that goal. That’s because someRepublican leaders — seeing that their party’s support amongLatinos has eroded greatly from the days when former Texas Gov.George W. Bush was in the Oval Office — are now talking aboutreform. To his credit, Bush pushed for big changes in the country’simmigration policies, but the GOP leadership in Congress wouldnot budge.Now, in a bipartisan effort, Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., are pitching changes that would bolstersecurity at the borders but also provide a pathway to citizenship forthe estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States.If this sounds familiar, it should. The two senators made the

same suggestion in 2010, but the idea went nowhere.Immigration reform has been kicked around long enough.Realistic solutions are needed, not more hollow rhetoric.

Congress and the president have plenty of motivation to get thisdone and should seize on the opportunity.

The Telegraph, Macon, Ga.,on jobless benefits:

Washington’s focus on the “fiscal cliff” — a potentially disastrouscombination of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to go intoeffect Jan. 1 — has shifted attention away from the biggest problemin the economy, which is the more than 12 million Americans stillunemployed.More than 5 million of them have been sidelined for more than

half a year, which means they’re no longer receiving unemploymentinsurance benefits from their state.Instead, many are receiving extended unemployment benefits

paid for by the federal government. Unless Congress agrees torenew the program, however, that support will end as well, evenbefore the country reaches the fiscal cliff.It would be tragic if Congress abandoned the unemployed in

order to clip a relative smidgen off the deficit — about $30 billion ofa deficit of $1 trillion. According to the most recent federal surveyof job vacancies, there were about seven applicants for every twoopenings. That’s an improvement over the worst days of the reces-sion, when the ratio of applicants to openings was more than 10 to2.But it still means that there aren’t nearly enough jobs available

to put everyone back to work, especially when you consider themore than 9 million Americans who are either stuck in part-timejobs when they want full-time work, or who’ve become so discour-aged they’ve dropped out of the workforce.Nevertheless, Republicans and Democrats have battled for more

than two years over how to offset the cost of the benefits, and morerecently whether to continue funding them at all.There’s a legitimate debate to be had over whether the country

should continue borrowing money to pay for unemployment bene-fits. But the usual argument for cutting off benefits is risible whenthere aren’t enough jobs to take.

I was pleasantly surprised theother night when I went to seethe movie “Lincoln” and the the-ater was full.It does my heart good to see

that a serious historical moviecan still draw a crowd. I likesuperhero movies as much as thenext guy, but somehow it’sencouraging to see so many peo-ple who are still willing to go to amovie like “Lincoln.”Of course, a large portion of the

audience looked old enough tohave known Lincoln personally.There were a few young peoplethere, but I think they thoughtthey were going to “Lincoln,Vampire Slayer” and got con-fused.Like any movie, “Lincoln” has a

few inaccuracies and scenes thatpurists object to. That’s the greatthing about history, though – noone really knows exactly the whyor the how or the what, so youalways have a little leeway.One of the more intriguing

characters in the movie isThaddeus Stevens, partiallybecause he is played by TommyLee Jones. Stevens was aPennsylvania congressman whowas an abolitionist and one of the

leaders of the radicalRepublicans. He was fearless andstubborn and became one of themost hated men in the South.He also was a master of the

humorous insult. I did a littlelooking and came up with a fewThaddeus Stevens stories for youtoday, mostly from the ThaddeusStevens Society, a Pennsylvaniagroup dedicated to preservingStevens’ memory. If you haven’tseen “Lincoln,” this will help youunderstand Stevens when you do.If you have seen it, you shouldappreciate these stories all themore:• Stevens was a relentless crit-

ic of Andrew Johnson. When somepeople tried to tell Stevens thatJohnson wasn’t so bad and that,like Stevens, Johnson was a self-

made man, Stevens replied: "Inever thought of it that way, butit does relieve God Almighty of aheavy responsibility."• As an abolitionist, Stevens

would only say this in criticism ofJohn Brown:"John Brown deserves to be

hung for being a hopeless fool. Heattempted to capture Virginiawith seventeen men when heought to know that it wouldrequire at least twenty-five."• Stevens had this to say about

Secretary of War Simon Cameronwhen Lincoln asked him if hethought Cameron would eversteal: "Well, Mr. President, I don'tthink he would steal a red-hotstove." Lincoln liked the story somuch he repeated it, and whenCameron heard about it hedemanded an apology. Stevenscomplied. "I said I did not thinkMr. Cameron would steal a red-hot stove. I am now forced towithdraw that statement."Finally, when Lincoln banishedCameron to Russia to becomeminister to that country, Stevenshad the last word: "Send word tothe Czar to bring in his things atnight."• In one speech on the House

floor, Stevens made some veryuncomplimentary commentsabout a fellow legislator. Just toshow it was nothing personal, hefollowed up his scathing com-ments with this conciliatory ges-ture: "It is my purpose nowherein these remarks to make person-al reproaches; I entertain no ill-will toward any human being, norany brute that I know of, not eventhe skunk across the way towhich I referred."• Stevens was near the end of

his life when a friend expressedhis concern about Stevens’appearance. “It is not my appear-ance, by my disappearance, thattroubles me,” Stevens said.I imagine that Tommy Lee

Jones’ portrayal of Stevens in themovie will do more for the oldcongressman’s reputation thanany other event in the past 150years. It’s just one of the aspectsof the movie that make it worthseeing – the actors do a superbjob, it tells about a vital portion ofhistory and it really is riveting,even if there aren’t any vampiresinvolved.

MENUS

College basketball coachMajerus dies at age 64

ST. LOUIS (AP) — AtRick Majerus’ final stop, thelone concession to thecoach’s health woes werethe footstools stationed ateach corner of the practicecourt.

Close by anytime heneeded a breather. Closeenough, too, to jump up forsome hands-on assistancewith the proper stance or tolead a quick walkthrough.

The jovial, basketball-obsessed coach who ledUtah to the 1998 NCAAfinal and had only one los-ing season in 25 years withfour schools, died Saturday.He was 64.

Utah industrialist JonHuntsman, the coach’s long-time friend, confirmed in astatement released throughThe Salt Lake Tribune thatMajerus died of heart fail-ure in a Los Angeles hospi-tal. The coach had been hos-pitalized there for severalmonths.

Players rememberedMajerus, who got his startas an assistant under AlMcGuire at Marquette, as acoach who was exacting andperhaps a bit unorthodox attimes, but always fair.Majerus was known forassembling rosters with aninternational flair, and hisfinal team at Saint Louishad players from Australiaand New Zealand.

“It was a unique experi-ence, I’ll tell you that, and Iloved every minute of it,”said Saint Louis guard KyleCassity, who was mostly abackup on last season’s 26-win team after starting forMajerus earlier in his col-lege career. “A lot of peoplequestioned the way he did

things, but I loved it. He’dbe hard as hell on you, buthe really cared.”

At the postgame newsconference following SaintLouis’ four-point loss to topseed Michigan State in theNCAA West Regional,Majerus and his playerswept.

“Coach has done somuch,” Brian Conklin saidback then. “Being his firstrecruiting class, he told methat we were going to helphim build something specialhere. He’s a great coach. Icouldn’t imagine playing fora better coach, a better per-son. He doesn’t just teachyou about basketball, it’sabout life.”

Saint Louis athleticdirector Chris May said in astatement that what hewould remember mostabout Majerus “was hisenduring passion to see hisplayers excel both on andoff the court.”

“He truly embraced the

term ‘student-athlete,’ and Ithink that will be his last-ing legacy,” May added.

The school announcedNov. 19 that Majerus would-n’t return to Saint Louisbecause of the heart condi-tion.

He ended the school’s 12-year NCAA tournamentdrought last season, andbounced back from his onlylosing season, with a teamthat won its opening gameand took top regional seedMichigan State to the wire.The Billikens were rankedfor the first time since 1994-95.

Majerus was undergoingevaluation and treatmentin California for the ongo-ing heart trouble and theschool announced he was onleave in late August.

“That’s a tough one forme,” Boston coach DocRivers, a former Marquettestar, said after the Celtics’loss in Milwaukee. “He’s theone that gave me my nick-

name. I knew before (thegame) that he wasn’t goingto make it through thenight. I don’t want to talkmuch about it.”

San Diego State coachSteve Fisher first metMajerus at a camp whenMajerus was a graduateassistant at Marquette andFisher was coaching at thehigh school level in Chicago.

“Rick would hold court atnight with a case of beer inthe basement,” Fisher said.“Phenomenal coach, a bet-ter person, cared about fam-ily, cared about people. Hewill be missed by everyone.”

Majerus had a history ofheart and weight problemsdating to 1989 that persist-ed despite a daily constitu-tional of a mile swim.

He had a stent insertedin August 2011 in Salt LakeCity and missed somegames in the 2011-12 sea-son after gashing his leg ina collision with players.

He backed out of a com-mitment to coach SouthernCalifornia due to heartproblems.

Majerus was 95-69 infive seasons at Saint Louisand had a 25-year record of517-216, with 15 20-winseasons and two 30-win sea-sons.

He had his most successat Utah, going 323-95 from1989-2004. He was atMarquette from 1983-86,and Ball State from 1987-89.

Ball State was 29-3 in1988-89 under Majerus,including the school’s firstNCAA tournament victory.At Utah, Majerus produced10 conference champi-onships in 13 seasons.

Dear Readers: Here is thisweek’s sound off, about howcompanies put instructions onpackaging:“My Sound Off is about com-

panies that make frozen foodin individual packets inside abox. The cooking instructionsare on the box, but not on thepacket, so when you take oneto work, you need to rememberthe timing so you don’t end upwith an ice pop or a lump ofcoal to eat. It’s usually the’pocket’ items that don’t havethe instructions.— Deborah,via email”Well, there usually is a

downside to some “conve-nience” foods! — Heloise

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I've been dating"Gary" for 11 years. He is in hisearly 50s and has never mar-ried. Neither of us has children.Gary and I travel together, gocamping and attend majorsporting events. We make eachother laugh and have fun in thebedroom. We truly are bestfriends.My problem is the lack of

commitment. Although I'm wel-come at Gary's home as anovernight guest, he refuses totake it to the next level. If Ibring up moving in or gettingmarried, I get silence in return.He doesn't give any explanation.He just refuses to discuss it.Gary recently started a new

career and is gone for three daysevery week. There is an excel-lent chance that he will relocate.We still hook up on weekends,and things are great, but I longfor a commitment and cannotseem to get it.When filling out his new life

insurance policy, Gary listed hiselderly mother as his benefici-ary. She is quite well off anddoesn't need the money. I wouldbe willing to share everything Iown with him, but I guess itisn't reciprocal.Maybe I already know the

answer and just need to see it inblack and white. Is it time tomove on? — Life Is GoodDear Life Is Good: Gary

enjoys what he has right now.And to a large extent, so do you.Are you willing to give up thefriendship and intimacy withGary in order to pursue a com-mitted relationship? Could yoube content with what you haveand not expect more? If Gary isready to move away and hasn'tsuggested that you come along,it means you will not get a com-mitment from him. Period. Onlyyou can decide whether thatmeans the relationship is awaste of time.Dear Annie:When my hus-

band and I travel, we oftenspend a couple of days withfriends or family. One night dur-ing our stay, we usually go outto dinner.There always seems to be a

small verbal battle over who isgoing to pay the bill.My husband always insists on

paying. He says we want tothank them for their hospitality.On the other hand, when

friends or family come to ourhouse and we go out to dinner,my husband still insists on pay-ing, saying they are our guests.When I was growing up, my

father was the same way. Isthere a rule about who shouldpick up the tab: the host or theguest? — Tired of AlwaysFooting the BillDear Tired: When staying at

someone's home for a weekendor longer, it is good manners totreat your hosts to a meal tothank them for their hospitality.Your husband should allow yourguests to do the same for him.However, if your guests are withyou only for a night, it is equallyproper for your husband to treatthem. But really, since he's sostubborn about it, we suggestyou let him do what he wants.Dear Annie: You were wrong

to tell "N.Y., N.Y." to visit herailing grandmothers because itis "the right thing to do."Having been through it with

a grandmother and my ownmother, I would have preferredto remember them as the lovingpeople they once were instead ofthe nasty, angry human wreck-age they became.When my grandchildren were

younger, I spent lots of timemaking beautiful memories, andthat's what I want them toremember.I've already given written

instructions that should I followthe same course, none of myfamily is to visit. Let me pre-serve some dignity by not hav-ing my loved ones witness mydecline.— RealisticDear Realistic: We don't

believe unpleasant memoriesmust crowd out the earlier lov-ing ones. But if these are yourwishes, they should be honored.

NW Ohio officialslobby for floodcontrol studyFINDLAY (AP) — Five years after a

major flood swamped northwest Ohio,officials again are pushing for the com-pletion of a flood control study of theBlanchard River area.A six-member regional delegation

including the mayors of Findlay andOttawa traveled to Washington lastweek to plead for the money needed tocomplete the study and seek congres-sional support.The flood control study by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers is intended tofind potential flood-reduction alterna-tives for the river, which has had fivemajor floods since 2007 that havecaused millions of dollars in damage inFindlay and Ottawa.The worst damage came in August

2007 when flooding caused more than$100 million in damage in Findlay andan estimated $12 million in damage inOttawa.The corps’ timeline to finish its final

recommendations report for flood con-trol is 2014, but the regional team ispushing to have those recommenda-tions by the end of 2013.The group also is stressing the

importance of the federal government’s$1.7 million share of the funding need-ed to complete the study, The (Findlay)Courtier reported.Former Hancock County Engineer

Steve Wilson, a member of the delega-tion, said the corps will run out of fund-ing for the study in April and the groupneeded to show federal officials that“this project is still important to us.”Regional leaders also are hoping to

get permission to start early on recon-struction of a bridge in Putnam County.Engineers have shown that the bridge’slow height causes Blanchard Riverbackup that contributes to flooding inOttawa.There is some concern that the fed-

eral budget crisis and East Coastcleanup from Hurricane Sandy couldhamper flood-control funding efforts.Local leaders also have said that theybelieve lobbying trips to Washingtonare essential to keep the northwestOhio project in front of congressionalofficials at a time when many peopleare trying to gain federal favor for their

projects.A new Water Resources

Development Act bill now in committeehas also lent more urgency to theregional officials’ efforts, the newspa-per reported. The bill would giveauthorization to corps-endorsed floodprojects, and regional officials want thenorthwest Ohio study to be on that list.Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who met

with the delegation this past week,said he thinks the region has “a goodchance” of getting the federal moneythat is needed for the flood study andsaid he would work with colleagues inCongress to “push hard to get thatstudy completed.”The regional officials have acknowl-

edged that there is still some publicskepticism about flood-control efforts,especially since the study is taking solong to complete.“Some people in Ottawa think we’re

just spinning our wheels,” said OttawaMayor J. Dean Meyer.But Hancock County Commissioner

Phil Riegle, another delegation mem-ber, is optimistic.“I think we can realistically get that

federal money next year,” Riegle said.

bide their time and wait for theSan Diego Chargers to cough upanother fourth-quarter lead.Dalton scrambled up the

middle for a 6-yard touchdownwith 4:11 left for the go-ahead

score and the CincinnatiBengals won their fourthstraight game, 20-13 over thepunchless San Diego Chargerson Sunday.The Bengals also kept com-

ing after Philip Rivers, forcingtwo turnovers in the final 3:54.“We kept overcoming adver-

sity and we didn’t flinch,” coach

Marvin Lewis said. “We justwent out there and went back towork. …We weren’t perfect. Butwe had to keep playing andmake adjustments and keepcoming.”The Bengals (7-5) remained

Tipp’s Wharton wins Nike National titleBY COLIN FOSTER

Sports Writercfoster@tdnpublishing.com

He won a Division I Statecross country title and helpedguide Tippecanoe to a seventh-place finish at state this pastseason.Tipp senior Sam Wharton

has countless accolades on hisrecord — including runner-upfinishes at the 2011 Division IState Cross Country Meet andat the 2012 Foot Locker

Midwest Regional Meet, wherehe ran a personal best time of14:56.But Wharton’s first-place fin-

ish at the Nike Cross CountryMeet in Portland, Ore. onSaturday gave him somethinghe hadn’t had before — a nation-al title.He trekked through muddy

terrain and some of the worstpossible course conditions to

emerge withthe win in atime of17:06.5.“I would

say it’s way upthere, youk n o w ? ”Wharton saidabout wherethe winranked on hislong list of

accomplishments. “I couldn’tcall just this one moment the

pinnacle. I think this cross coun-try season — between the indi-vidual state title, the team qual-ifying for state and doing so well— it’s been the perfect storm.I’m really pleased with how theseason has turned out.”And this race just so hap-

pened to be ran the day after theperfect storm in Portland, Ore.“I warmed up on course

Friday, and it had been rainingall week before,” Wharton said.

Road woes endOAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —

Nursing a three-point lead andbacked up to the shadow of hisown goal posts, rookie BrandonWeeden engineered a touchdowndrive that gave the ClevelandBrowns a happy plane ride homefor a change and hope for a muchbrighter future.Weeden threw for a career-

high 364 yards and a touchdownand made key plays on theclinching 94-yard drive that

helped the Browns snap a 12-game road losing streak by beat-ing the Oakland Raiders 20-17on Sunday.“That was kind of a state-

ment,” Weeden said. “We strungtogether a lot of really goodplays. That shows the potentialwe have as an offense, and that’sencouraging.We had a lot of guysmake different plays.”

McDowellwins WorldChallengeTHOUSAND OAKS, Calif.

(AP) — Graeme McDowell kepttrying to convince himself andeveryone else that his game wasimproving, even though he hadgone two years without a trophyto prove it.That’s what made Sunday at

Sherwood so sweet.With a pair of superb short-

game shots on the back nine,McDowell closed with a 4-under68 to win the World Challenge bythree shots over Keegan Bradley,allowing him to head home for a10-week break with a shot of con-fidence.“It’s been too long. It’s been a

hell of a two years since I sathere as a winner,”McDowell said.“We all put winning up on apedestal as the ultimate goal. Welike to say that it’s all about theprocess and going through themotions and trying to get better.But let’s be honest. We all meas-ure ourselves by the win. I cansay that now.”The three-shot margin made

it look easier than it was.Sherwood was playing longer

than ever in a light rain, givingan advantage to a big hitter likeBradley, not to mention tourna-ment host Tiger Woods. Evenwhen McDowell built a four-shotlead through 11 holes, a carelessthree-putt bogey on the 13thbrought Bradley within twoshots with five holes to play.McDowell responded with a

75-foot putt that he lagged totap-in range, a key moment forsomeone coming off a three-puttbogey. From a precarious spotbehind the 17th green, he had toland his chip in the rough andhope it would hop onto the fringeand not run to far by the hole. Hepulled it off perfectly.“It was an inch away from

sticking in the fringe, and about1-16th of an inch away fromgoing in the hole,” he said.He made one last birdie he

didn’t need, extending his domi-nance at Sherwood. It was the10th time in 12 rounds atSherwood that McDowell hasshot in the 60s, and he now hastwo wins and a runner-up finishin his three trips to the WorldChallenge.

One for the agesNEW YORK (AP) — On

one side, a blossomingdynasty from the collegefootball capital of the DeepSouth. On the other, thesport’s most famous team,trying to reclaim its placeamong the elite.Notre Dame and

Alabama bring star powerand power football to theBCS championship.The matchup becomes

official Sunday night whenthe full BCS lineup isannounced on ESPN.The one bit of drama on

football’s selection Sundaywas whether NorthernIllinois could be this year’sso-called BCS buster, buteven that mystery wassolved early. A personfamiliar with the decisiontold The Associated Pressthat NIU had qualified foran automatic bid andwould play Florida State inthe Orange Bowl. The per-son spoke on condition ofanonymity because theofficial announcement wasstill to come.As for the main event,

it’s No. 1 Notre Dameagainst No. 2 Alabama inMiami on Jan. 7.The Irish clinched their

spot a week ago in LosAngeles by completing aperfect season againstrival Southern California.Alabama earned its spot

Saturday, beating Georgia32-28 in a thrillingSoutheastern Conferencetitle game.The program that coach

Paul Bryant turned into anSEC behemoth in the1960s and 70s, winning sixnational championshipsduring his tenure, is againdominating college footballwith a modern-day versionof the Bear leading the wayin Tuscaloosa, Ala.Coach Nick Saban and

the Crimson Tide are onthe verge of one of thegreat runs in history.Alabama would becomethe first team to repeat aschampions since the BowlChampionship Series wasimplemented in 1998, andthe 11th team to win con-secutive AP titles since thepoll started in 1936.The Tide also won the

2009 BCS championship.The last team to win threemajor national titles infour seasons wasNebraska, which wentback-to-back in 1994 and‘95 and finished No. 1 inthe final coaches’ poll in1997.In a spread-the-field,

hurry-up offense world, theTide is homage to tradi-

tional football.The Tide put its no-frills

muscle on displaySaturday, mashing Georgiawith 350 yards rushing,most impressively whenAlabama trailed 21-10 inthe second half and youmight have expected theTide to open up its passinggame.Eddie Lacy, listed at a

conservative 220 pounds,went for 181 against theBulldogs to up his seasontotal to 1,182 with 17touchdowns. T.J. Yeldon, at216 pounds, provides morespeed with his punch. Thefreshman has run for 1,000yards and scored 12 touch-downs.But this is no 3 yards

and a cloud of dust. Bothbacks average over 6 yardsper carry, behind an offen-sive line anchored by All-American center BarrettJones. And quarterback AJMcCarron has thrown 26touchdowns with onlythree interceptions.The Tide has been more

potent offensively this sea-son than last to make upfor a defense that hasslipped, but only a bit.Alabama leads the nationin total defense (246 yards

per game) and is second inpoints allowed (10.7 pergame). Linebackers AdrianHubbard, Nico Johnson,CJ Mosley and TreyDepriest average 242pounds.When Brian Kelly was

hired at Notre Dame threeyears ago, he looked atAlabama and the SEC,which has won six straightBCS titles, and decided theIrish needed to play likethat.Kelly built his reputa-

tion and winning teams atprevious stops on fast-paced spread offenses. InSouth Bend, Ind., he hasput the fight back in theIrish, who have won eightAP national titles onlyAlabama has as many butnone since 1988.Notre Dame has

allowed the fewest touch-downs in the country (10)and is sixth overall in totaldefense (286 yards pergame). The face of the Irishisn’t a strong-armed quar-terback or speedy ball car-rier. It’s middle linebackerManti Te’o, a 255-poundoffense wrecker with anose for the ball. The sen-ior has seven interceptionsand is a likely Heisman

finalist.Te’o, along with 300-

pound linemen StephonTuitt and Louis Nix, haveformed a red-zone wall forthe Irish. Late goal linestands highlighted victo-ries against Stanford andUSC.While nurturing red-

shirt freshman EverettGolson, Kelly has leanedon Notre Dame’s runninggame, which averages 202yards. Alabama averages224 on the ground.If Notre Dame, making

its first appearance in aBCS championship, isgoing to break the SEC’sstrangle hold on the crys-tal ball trophy, the Irishwill try to beat ‘Bama at itsown game.And Kelly will try to

uphold a Notre Dame tra-dition, by winning anational title in his thirdseason as coach. FrankLeahy, Ara Parseghian,Dan Devine and Lou Holtzall won it all in Year 3 play-ing in the shadows of theGolden Dome.Notre Dame will try to

become the first team sinceBYU in 1984 to start theseason unranked a win anational title.

Wharton“We knew it was going

to be mud bath. There wasno way anyone was goingto go out and PR.“Going out into the

race, the start wasn’t ter-rible, it was pretty softand squishy. Then onceyou got 300 meters in,that’s when you hit thatfirst big mud area andyour just like, ‘All jeez,your in for a rough ride’.”Wharton hasn’t

entered many races of hiscareer as an underdog, but

that may have been whatpeople thought going intothe Nike race. Still,Wharton managed to beatthe entire field, after fin-ishing 21st at the event asa junior. The second-placefinisher Estevan Delarosaof team Arcadia was threeseconds back (17:09.5) andthe bronze medalist LuisMartinez finished in17:17. Wharton creditedthe muddy landscape asbeing the ultimate equal-izer.“It’s a whole different

mentality,” Wharton said.“Some of the guys thatwere favored over me are19 seconds ahead on anaverage mile. There weresome studs there. But themud proved to be theequalizer.“This is more of a guts

race. The favorites, whohave more speed, weren’table to use it becausethere were no stretches inthe race where you couldhave good footing forthree or four steps at atime. You were consistent-

ly slipping. It can be tax-ing mentally.”In the Foot Locker race

a week prior,Wharton wasedged for the top spot byBismark, N.D.’s JakeLeingang, who had anidentical time of 14:56.The Tipp senior also gotthe chance to race againstanother state championfrom Ohio in Versailles’Sam Prakel, who went onto finish sixth (15:06).“We raced each other a

lot in middle school and heused to absolutely crush

me,” Wharton said. “He’sabsolutely phenomenal.”And there’s a chance by

pair of Sam’s may end uptogether next year in col-lege. As of today, Whartonhad narrowed his list ofschools down to Stanford,Wisconsin, Colorado andOhio State. Prakel is con-sidering Stanford andPrinceton.Some family and

friends made the trip tosee Wharton run inOregon Saturday, whileothers watched at home.

Wharton’s uncle, SteveWharton — who is knownfor bringing signs in sup-port of Sam to area crosscountry meets — held acommunity gathering towatch the race on live webcast.Wharton has one more

chance to capture anotherindividual national title.On Dec. 8, he will travel toSan Diego to race in theFoot Locker Nationals.That will be the final crosscountry race of his highschool career.

N. Illinois to play Fla. St. in Orange BowlMIAMI (AP) — What a

weekend for NorthernIllinois: Win a conferencechampionship, lose a coachand bust the BCS.The Huskies are headed

to the Orange Bowl, set tomake their BowlChampionship Seriesdebut against FloridaState. Northern Illinoiswon the Mid-AmericanConference title on Friday,lost coach Dave Doeren to

North Carolina State onSaturday, and then spentSunday anxiously waitingto see if it cracked the top16 in the final BCS stand-ings.By 0.0404 points, the

Huskies did just that andwill play in Miami on Jan.1 as their reward.The MAC champions

(12-1) were 15th in thefinal BCS standings.Finishing in the top 16 and

ahead of the champion of aqualifying conference theyactually finished ahead oftwo, Big East winnerLouisville and Big Tentitlist Wisconsin meant theHuskies were automatical-ly BCS-bound, earningthem this date with theAtlantic Coast Conferencechampion Seminoles (11-2).Northern Illinois is the

first MAC school to reach

the BCS. The Huskieswere 21st in last week’sBCS standings, meaningthey not only needed tobeat Kent State whichentered championshipweek as another BCShopeful in the MAC titlegame to have a shot, theyalso needed some help toreach the top 16. Andenough help came, particu-larly with Nebraska losingbadly in the Big Ten title

game, along with UCLAand Texas both falling overthe weekend.So it’s the Huskies and

Seminoles, a matchup thatsurely very few peoplewould have expected whenthe season began.And while Northern

Illinois will be a fun storyline throughout bowl sea-son, the Huskies earnedtheir way into the conver-sation. Since last Oct. 2,

Northern Illinois is 21-1,the best record in the coun-try. For comparison’s sake,that’s two more wins thanAlabama and four morethan Notre Dame theCrimson Tide and FightingIrish are this year’s title-game qualifiers over thatstretch.In fact, all that separat-

ed Northern Illinois frombeing perfect this seasonwas one measly point.

Ducks, Cougarsto play in FiestaSCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP)—The Fiesta Bowl willbe in the rotation when aplayoff system replaces theBCS.The 2013 game might

provide a glimpse of what aplayoff in the desert mightlook like.Oregon and Kansas

State, teams still in thenational-title picture justtwo weeks ago, will meet atUniversity of PhoenixStadium in Glendale onJan. 3, giving the FiestaBowl a second straight mar-quee matchup of teams inthe top 5 of the BCS stand-ings.The Ducks (11-1), with

Heisman Trophy contenderKenjon Barner and all thosefleet-footed players againstthe gritty Wildcats (11-1)and their own Heisman-worthy quarterback, CollinKlein.Yeah, this should be

good, maybe even betterthan last year.The 2012 Fiesta Bowl

was certainly a memorableone: Oklahoma State vs.Stanford,Nos. 3 and 4 in theBCS, dynamic teams withtwo of the nation’s bestquarterbacks in BrandonWeeden and the Cardinal’sAndrew Luck.The game matched the

hype,with the Cowboys out-

lasting Stanford 41-38 inovertime, giving the FiestaBowl a much-needed boostafter nearly losing its BCSstatus due to financialimproprieties and a dud of agame in 2011.Oregon and Kansas

State, Nos. 4 and 5 in theBCS standings, have thepotential to one-up 2012.Oregon, No. 5 in the AP

Top 25, has been one of thenation’s best teams undercoach Chip Kelly, using itsswarm-of-bees offense toreach the BCS title game in2011 and win the Rose Bowlfor the first time in 95 yearslast season.The Ducks were one of

the front-runners to reachthe title game again thisseason, steamrolling oppo-nents through their first 10games with what may bethe nation’s most unstop-pable offense.The Wildcats’ run was a

little more surprising.Kansas State, seventh in

the AP poll, opened someeyes by trouncing Miami inits second game and startedto draw national attentionby knocking off Oklahomain Norman on Sept. 22.Behind the do-everythingKlein and its tough defense,the Wildcats kept piling upwins and rising up the rank-ings.

Badgers to make3rd straight tripto Rose BowlPASADENA, Calif. (AP)

— Wisconsin believes itsthird straight trip to theRose Bowl could be thecharm. Stanford is hopingfor another victory in itscharmed run through theBowl ChampionshipSeries.The unranked Badgers

(8-5) and the No. 8Cardinal (11-2) will meetin the 99th edition of theRose Bowl on Jan. 1, thebowl formally announcedSunday night.Arroyo Seco will be

filled with fans wearingred and white when twoschools with virtually iden-tical colors play a rematchof the 2000 Rose Bowl, won17-9 by Wisconsin withHeisman Trophy-winningtailback Ron Dayne.That loss was Stanford’s

most recent trip to theGranddaddy of Them All,while the Badgers lost thelast two Rose Bowls toTCU and Oregon.

Stanford is in its thirdconsecutive BCS bowl.The Cardinal’s run to

the Orange, Fiesta andRose bowls in consecutiveseasons was a nearlyunimaginable feat just sixseasons ago when coachJim Harbaugh took overthe long-struggling pro-gram at a school with loftyacademic standards and afan base dwarfed by theconference’s big-name foot-ball schools.Wisconsin is no

stranger to surprisingoccurrences after thisweekend. The Badgersseemed highly unlikely tomake their third straightRose Bowl this seasonafter a series of narrowlosses, but they stunnedNebraska 70-31 onSaturday in the Big Tentitle game to earn yetanother sun-splashedbreak from the Wisconsinwinter for their hearty fanbase.

Hunt was at his side, offer-ing support. Members ofthe team hugged eachother, the mud smearingwith tears on their cheeks.And over along the wallstood the empty locker thatonce belonged to JovanBelcher, his jersey stillhanging from a hook.Just one day after the

linebacker killed his girl-friend and then turned thegun on himself, the Chiefsbanded together to playtheir finest game of theseason, an inspired 27-21victory over the CarolinaPanthers that ended aneight-game losing streaksuddenly rendered trivial.“As far as playing the

game, I thought that wasthe best for us to do,because that’s what we do,”Crennel said, tears formingin the corners of his eyes.“We’re football players andfootball coaches and that’swhat we do, we play onSunday.”According to authorities,

Belcher shot his girlfriendmultiple times earlySaturday at a residencenear Arrowhead Stadium,then sped to the team’spractice facility and turnthe gun on himself asCrennel and general man-ager Scott Pioli watched inthe parking lot.Pioli walked through the

press box before the gameand said he was doing“OK.”“It’s been an incredibly

difficult 24 hours for ourfamily and our entireorganization,” Hunt said.“We have so many guys on

our team and our coachingstaff who are really, reallyhurting.”

ing-the-punter penalty andfumble by Miami led to 17New England points, andanother penalty negated aDolphins touchdown.Brady finished 24 for 40

for 238 yards and wassacked four times. But withthe Patriots nursing a 20-13 lead midway throughthe fourth quarter, he led a16-play drive that tookmore than seven minutesand led to a field goal.The Patriots (9-3) have

won six games in a row andare assured of their 12thconsecutive winning sea-son. Miami (5-7) lost toNew England for the fifthconsecutive time.

Seahawks 23,Bears 17, OTCHICAGO — Russell

Wilson connected withSidney Rice on a 13-yardtouchdown with 7:33 left inovertime to lift Seattle.Unbeaten in five home

Luck threw a 14-yardtouchdown pass to DonnieAvery with no time left tolift Indianapolis.With the final seconds

ticking away, the rookiequarterback moved up inthe pocket, flipped a shortpass to Avery, and thereceiver ran untouched intothe end zone to complete arally that started withLions up 12 points midwaythrough the fourth quarter.

Packers 23,Vikings 14GREEN BAY, Wis. —

twice and the Packers over-came a monster day byAdrian Peterson.Peterson finished with

210 yards, the most he’shad since blowing out hisACL and MCL lastDecember. But the Vikings(6-6) clearly felt theabsence of Percy Harvin,who missed his thirdstraight game with asprained ankle.

Steelers 23,Ravens 20BALTIMORE — Shaun

Suisham kicked a 42-yardfield goal as time expired.Playing without injured

quarterback BenRoethlisberger for a thirdstraight week, the Steelersturned to the 37-year-oldBatch for the second gamein a row. He went 25 for 36for 276 yards, threw atouchdown and moved theSteelers 61 yards beforeSuisham’s game-winningkick.

Jets 7, Cardinals 6EAST RUTHERFORD,

N.J. — Third-stringer GregMcElroy stepped in for astruggling Mark Sanchezand led New York to itsonly score.With Tim Tebow inac-

tive as he heals from twobroken ribs, coach RexRyan pulled Sanchez forMcElroy — as the crowd atMetLife Stadium cheeredwildly — late in the thirdquarter. McElroy led the (5-7) Jets to their only pointsof the day with an impres-sive drive, connecting withJeff Cumberland on a 1-yard touchdown. Thatended up being the winningscore.Bills 34, Jaguars 18ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.

— Ryan Fitzpatrick direct-ed five straight scoringdrives in helping Buffalokeep alive its slim playoffhopes.

BrownsWeeden hit fellow rook-

ie Josh Gordon on a 44-yard score in the secondquarter and TrentRichardson scored on a 3-yard run after SheldonBrown made a key inter-ception deep in Clevelandterritory when theRaiders (3-9) were drivingfor the potential tying orgo-ahead score in thefourth quarter.It all added up to the

first road win for theBrowns (4-8) since beat-ing Indianapolis 27-19 inthe second game of the2011 season.The skid started a few

weeks later with a loss inOakland and went deepinto this season.“You don’t want

streaks like that,” coachPat Shurmur said. “Let’sface it, over the last fewyears we haven’t done agreat job of winninggames. And so, as we takethis journey with thisyoung football team,they’re starting to learn.”The Raiders have lost

five straight for the firsttime since a six-game los-ing streak in Lane Kiffin’sfirst year as coach in 2006and have been eliminatedfrom playoff contentionfor a 10th straight year.There was more bad

news after the game asOakland coach DennisAllen had to fly to theDallas area to be with hisfather, former NFL line-backer Grady Allen, whohas a serious health issue.Dennis Allen is expectedto rejoin the team

Wednesday night, a daybefore the Raiders hostDenver.The biggest blunder for

the Raiders came whenrookie Juron Criner useda double move to getbehind Brown and CarsonPalmer underthrew thedeep ball with Oaklandalready in position for agame-tying field goal.Brown intercepted the

pass at the 6-yard lineand Weeden engineeredan impressive drivebeginning with 9:31 toplay.“I was trying to take a

shot there, go for thetouchdown quickly andjust didn’t put the ball inthe right spot, didn’t giveJuron a chance to make aplay on the ball,” Palmersaid.Weeden completed an

11-yard pass on third-and-3 to Gordon to get theBrowns started and alsohad a big 22-yard pass totight end BenjaminWatson.Weeden then converted

a fourth-and-1 sneak fromthe Oakland 45 andDesmond Bryant jumpedoffside on a third-and-1from the Raiders 10.Richardson scored two

plays later to give theBrowns a 20-10 lead with3:27 to go as the Brownswon for the fourth time inseven games since an 0-5start to match last sea-son’s win total.“Probably a defining

drive of the season,”Brown said. “We had anopportunity to see thecharacter of that offense.”

Bengalsberth. The Steelers andBengals are two gamesbehind the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens,who lost to Pittsburgh.The Chargers (4-8) lost

their fourth straight gameand for the seventh time ineight games, and remainmathematically, but notrealistically, alive in thewild-card chase.The Chargers are on

the cusp of missing theplayoffs for the thirdstraight season, which isall but certain to costcoach Norv Turner his job,and it could get generalmanager A.J. Smith fired,as well.With four games left in

Turner’s sixth season ashead coach, the Chargersare assured of their thirdnon-winning season in thepast five years. They were8-8 last season and in2008.Denver clinched the

AFC West title with a 31-23 victory against TampaBay. The Broncos haven’tlost since overcoming a 24-0 deficit at halftime at SanDiego on Oct. 15 to beatthe Chargers 35-24.The Chargers were shut

out in the second half aftertaking a 13-10 halftimelead. They didn’t score anoffensive touchdown forthe third time this season.Trailing 13-10, the

Bengals started the win-ning drive on their 45 andate up 7:42.On second-and-goal,

Dalton pump-faked rightand then ran up the mid-dle, dived for the end zoneand got the ball across fora 17-13 lead. Dalton saidthe Bengals called a screenbut it was well-defended.“I thought I was going

to be able to throw it quicksomewhere. But I wasn’table to, then I just found alane and was able to get in.“Not everything is

going to go exactly as youplan. It’s what you dowhen everything breaksdown. It was a big playthat we needed at thatpoint.”Philip Rivers had two

turnovers in the final 3:54.On the first Chargers’

possession after Dalton’sTD, defensive end CarlosDunlap sacked Rivers,forced a fumble and recov-

ered at the 13 to set upMike Nugent’s 24-yardfield goal for a 20-13 lead.Rivers was then inter-

cepted in the end zone byReggie Nelson on fourth-and-10 from the Bengals17 with 49 seconds left.“We were flat as hell

the second half,” Chargersfullback Le’Ron McClainsaid.“Tonight for the most

part, we didn’t turn it overuntil the last two,” Riverssaid. “We’re fighting likecrazy to score. We’re in arut and all we can do iskeep playing.”Keeping the Chargers’

offense out of the end zonewas “really big,” Dunlapsaid. “That’s huge becausethis team can put up a lotof points. They have a lot ofscorers and great playerson their offense. So for usto shut them out, thatspeaks volumes for ourdefense and that’s just thefoundation of what wewant to do as a defense.”The Bengals overcame

three turnovers, includingtwo interceptions byDalton. One of them wasreturned 31 yards for atouchdown by DemorrioWilliams.
