Economics 101Project helps Hook students learn thevalue of hard work, spirit of charity

BY MELANIE YINGSTStaff Writer

myingst@tdnpublishing.com

One might call this ele-mentary economic experi-ment a true lesson in “trick-le-down economics.”

Hook Elementary secondgrade students are learningthe value of hard work —and the spirit of charity —as they learn about how aneconomy works and how togive to others in need.

Second grade teacherMichelle Skipper startedthe tradition of studentsmanufacturing “goods” onan assembly line more than

10 years ago.“The kids take turns

making the products,” shesaid. “They manufacture theitems, do all the advertisingand marketing and learnabout profit.”

With help from theschool counselor, fundsraised by the second gradeChristmas-themed productswill go to help as many asthree Hook ElementarySchool families. Along withsecond grade teacher Kris

Obama,Boehnermeetagain

WASHINGTON (AP) —Face to face with time run-ning short, PresidentBarack Obama andRepublican House SpeakerJohn Boehner negotiatedat the White HouseThursday night in whataides called “frank” talksaimed at breaking a stub-born deadlock and steeringthe nation away from aneconomy-threatening “fis-cal cliff.”

Boehner returned to theCapitol an hour later,briskly walking pastreporters without com-ment. There was no indica-tion whether any progresshad been made, though theuse of the word “frank” byboth sides to describe thetalks suggested the presi-dent and the speaker stuckhard to their opposing posi-tions.

The meeting cameshortly after Obama sug-gested that the sluggishpace of deficit-cutting talksbetween the administra-tion and congressionalRepublicans was a result ofa “contentious caucus” ofGOP lawmakers who weremaking it difficult forBoehner to negotiate.

Boehner saw it differ-ently. He said earlier in theday: “Unfortunately, theWhite House is so unseri-ous about cutting spendingthat it appears willing toslow-walk any agreementand walk our economyright up to the fiscal cliff.”

Thursday night’s meet-ing was the two men’s sec-ond face-to-face encounterin five days as they seek tofind an agreement thatavoids major tax increasesand across-the-boardspending cuts scheduled tokick in January. Alsoattending were TreasurySecretary TimothyGeithner and Obama’schief congressional lobby-ist, Rob Nabors.

Before the meeting,Boehner accused Obama ofdragging out negotiations.Obama is insisting onhigher tax rates for house-hold incomes above$250,000 to cut federaldeficits; Boehner says heopposes higher rates,

Fiscal cliff talksdescribed asbeing ‘frank’

• See CLIFF on Page 2

though he has said hewould be willing to raisetax revenue instead byclosing loopholes anddeductions.Obama, in an interview

during the day withWCCO-TV inMinneapolis, said that hewas hopeful of a “changein attitude” fromRepublicans on raisingtaxes on the wealthy. “Itshouldn’t be hard to getresolved,” he said.He added that the

notion of not raising taxes“has become sort of a reli-gion for a lot of membersof the Republican Party. Ithink Speaker Boehnerhas a contentious caucus,as his caucus is tough onhim sometimes so he does-n’t want to look like he’sgiving in to me somehowbecause that might hurthim in his own caucus.”While the impasse over

the president’s demand forhigher tax rates continuesto be a main obstacle innegotiations, Boehnercomplains that the presi-dent refuses to offerspending cuts to popularbenefit programs likeMedicare whose costs arerapidly rising.The White House has

pointed out that it hasoffered about $600 billionin specific savings over thenext decade, includingabout $350 billion inspending reductions inhealth care programs suchas Medicare.There’s increasing res-

ignation within the GOPthat Obama is going toprevail on the rate issuesince the alternative is toallow taxes on all workersto go way up when Bush-era tax cuts expire on Dec.31.“I think it’s time to end

the debate on rates,” saidSen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.“It’s exactly what bothparties are for. We’re forextending the middle-class rates. We can debatethe upper-end rates andwhat they are when weget into tax reform.”“He’s got a full house

and we’re trying to drawan inside straight,” saidSen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. When it was observedthat making a straightwould still be a losinghand, Isakson said: “Yeah,I know.”Boehner remains the

key figure, though, caughtbetween a tea party fac-tion and more pragmaticRepublicans advising atactical retreat. He dodgeda question Thursday onwhether he would be will-ing to schedule a vote thatwould permit the top twotax brackets on familyincome exceeding$250,000 and individualincome over $200,000 torise back to 1990s levels.Meanwhile, one of

Obama’s top Senate alliessaid Thursday that anincrease in the Medicareeligibility age is “no longerone of the items being con-

sidered by the WhiteHouse” in negotiations.Sen. Dick Durbin told

reporters that he did notget the information direct-ly from the president orthe White House. But asthe Senate’s No. 2Democrat, Durbin is regu-larly apprised of the sta-tus of negotiations by keyplayers such as MajorityLeader Harry Reid, D-Nev.Senior White House

aide Gene Sperling briefedSenate Democrats on thetalks Thursday anddeclined to tell themwhether the administra-tion was taking the issueoff the table, said a sena-tor who was present. Thatsenator spoke only on con-dition of anonymity sincehe was not authorized todescribe a meeting thatwas confidential.Increasing the eligibili-

ty age, currently 65, is akey demand byRepublicans seeking costcurbs in popular benefitprograms in exchange forhigher tax revenues.Durbin’s comments on

the Medicare eligibilityage were surprising, sincenegotiators including Reidhave been careful to notpreclude the possibility ofagreeing to such anincrease perhaps as a late-stage concession in apotential deal betweenObama and Boehner.At a news conference,

Reid again called onHouse Republicans toallow a vote on renewingBush-era tax cuts for the98 percent of taxpayerswhose incomes are below$250,000. Obama vows toforce rates on familyincome exceeding$250,000 from a top rateof 35 percent to theClinton-era rate of 39.6percent. He said the alter-native is to allow tax cutsfor everyone to expire.“At some point, reality

should set in,” Reid said.Reid cited comments by

Sen. John Cornyn of Texasto Politico.com, in whichCornyn, soon to be the No.2 Senate Republican, said,“I believe we’re going topass the $250,000 andbelow sooner or later, andwe really don’t have muchleverage” because thoserates are going to expireanyway on Dec. 31.On Thursday, Sen. Jim

DeMint, a South CarolinaRepublican and leadingconservative figure, pre-dicted that Obama wouldprevail in the fight overtaxes.“He’s going to get his

wish. I believe we’re goingto be raising taxes, andnot just on the top earn-ers,” DeMint, who is leav-ing the Senate to becomepresident of the HeritageInstitution think tank,said in an appearance on“CBS This Morning.”

Pascale’s class, studentsfilled mini stockings andassembled colorful neck-laces to lure buyer to themarket place set up beforethe school day.

Mali Hewitt, 8, said shehelped track sales of theproducts.

This year students“manufactured” ministockings with a dog bis-cuit or a Christmas pencil,sports or animal-themednecklaces.

“I put down tallymarks when someonebought something,”Hewitt said. “We need toknow how much we (sold)that day.”

The students set uptheir “marketplace” beforeschool begins and it’s allabout customer serviceaccording to one student.

“I liked to hand theproduct to the people andsay ‘thank you for buy-ing,’” Josh Brubaker said.“It’s important to say‘thank you’ so they comeback again.”

Brynn Siler said themost popular productsseem to be the dog bis-cuits and sport necklaces.

“A lot of people musthave dogs at home,” Silersaid.

Siler said many stu-dents like the sport neck-laces, made in red andgray, which are universalto the traditional TroyTrojan colors or the

famous scarlet and gray ofOhio State University.

“We put sign up andposters in the hallway tolet people know what weare selling,” Siler said ofthe marketing campaign.

“We even put it on theannouncements,”Brubaker added.

Skipper said the eco-nomic lesson is a fun wayto learn about supply anddemand and about beingproducers and consumers.“The kids remember this

for a long time,” Skippersaid. “They know all theprofit goes to charity andwe talk about how themoney goes right back tohelp school families.”

“The more we sell themore Christmas they get,”said Hewitt. “They canbuy food and have a niceChristmas,” Siler said.

During arecent recogni-tion ceremony,it wasa n n o u n c e dthat the finallink in thenor th / southsection of bike-way would bededicated toShook for hisleadership and develop-ment of the Great MiamiRiver Recreational Trail inMiami County.

“The park district board

of commissioners thought itwould be fitting to honorBob and his efforts by nam-ing the bridge after him,”said J. Scott Myers, execu-tive director of the Miami

County ParkDistrict. “Bob’s com-mitment to com-pleting the bikewayhas been unwaver-ing, even in the faceof tough obstacles.”

D i s c u s s i o n sabout a bikewaythrough MiamiCounty began in

1999 when the coun-ty commissioners

appointed Shook to head upthe bikeway taskforce. Sincethat time, Shook has volun-teered countless hours tomake this vision a reality.

“It was a labor of loveand a lot of tough work toget it done; but it was worthit,” Shook said.

He also thanked a longlist of the people whoworked with him to accom-plish this goal.

“The bikeway hasbecome an asset for thecommunity and on anygiven day, hundreds of peo-ple use it as part of ahealthy lifestyle,” Myerssaid. “It adds to the excep-tional quality of life here inMiami County.”

Today all sections of thetrail in Miami County havebeen completed with theexception of the Robert J.Shook Bikeway Bridge,which is scheduled for con-struction in 2014.

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio Gov. John Kasichplans to propose raising$1.5 billion for highwayprojects with OhioTurnpike bonds while pre-serving the toll way as apublic entity, according tostate lawmakers briefedWednesday night on theplan.

The proposal means theOhio Turnpike won’t besold or leased to a privateoperator an option thatdrew complaints about thepossibility of higher tollsand job losses for those whowork on the 241-mile tollroad that cuts acrossnorthern Ohio.

State. Rep. LynnWachtmann, a NapoleonRepublican, was amongthose briefed by phone bythe Kasich team on theproposal. The teleconfer-ence came ahead of a seriesof announcements Kasichhas planned beginningThursday in Toledo.

Wachtmann said theplan preserves the OhioTurnpike Commission andretains workers’ jobs. Thefirst $1 billion from bondswould come right away, therest in four years.

“Most of the people inOhio want to see the turn-pike administration stay

the way it is,” Wachtmannsaid. “I think the governoris to be commended.”

The governor’s latestplan calls for northernOhio road projects to getpriority treatment, a movenecessary to obtain buy-infrom the communities thathave long paid tolls forusing the roadway as wellas relying on it for jobs.

State Sen. GayleManning, a NorthRidgeville Republican, saidshe had been concernedabout how leasing theroadway would affect hernortheast Ohio community.

She said she is eager tohear details, but feelsKasich may have struck acompromise that will pre-serve jobs while also rais-ing money to address adeficit in funding for high-way projects.

“Right out of the gate, Iwasn’t happy about leasingit,” she said. “This might bea good compromise. Itkeeps the infrastructurehow we like it, and yet wewon’t see other roads dete-riorate.”

Kasich is expected toask for modest toll increas-es for vehicles traversingthe state, while freezingrates for a decade for thosemaking turnpike trips of

less than 30 miles.Wachtmann said toll

increases would be mini-mal, in order to keep trucktraffic from leaving theturnpike for local roads.

“I don’t think anybodycan possibly claim thatwhat the governor is doingis not good for Ohio,because they went througha very thorough process,”he said.

Spokesmen for the gov-ernor, the OhioDepartment ofTransportation and theOffice of Budget andManagement all declinedto provide details of theplan earlier Wednesday.

Kasich at first appearedto be intent on leasing orselling the road, but localleaders from counties andcities along the along theturnpike objected loudly,saying they feared highertolls that would drive moretraffic onto routes thatmeander through smalltowns.

Tolls have nearly dou-bled since investors tookover the Indiana Toll Road.

In Ohio, it’s now $16.50for cars making a full tripon the turnpike, whichexpects to collect a $250million from motorists thisyear.

Lawmaker: Ohio governorwon’t lease the turnpike

CARACAS, Venezuela(AP) — President HugoChavez suffered bleedingduring his cancer surgeryin Cuba but was recoveringfrom the complications,Venezuela’s governmentsaid Thursday.

Chavez suffered “bleed-ing that required the use ofcorrective measures” dur-ing Tuesday’s surgery,Information MinisterErnesto Villegas said, read-ing a government state-ment. It said those meas-ures allowed for the “oppor-tune control” of the bleed-ing.

Villegas also said thatChavez was going through“a progressive and favor-able recovery of the normalvalues of his vital signs.”

“This recovery process,nevertheless, will require aprudent period of time as aconsequence of the com-plexity of the surgery per-formed,” he said.

Villegas expressed hope

a day earlier about thepresident returning homefor his Jan. 10 swearing-infor a new six-year term, butsaid in a written messageon a government websitethat if Chavez isn’t wellenough by then “our peopleshould be prepared tounderstand it.”

Chavez underwent hisfourth cancer-related oper-ation in Havana afterannouncing that tests hadfound the illness had comeback despite previous oper-ations, chemotherapy andradiation treatments.Chavez has kept secretsome details about thepelvic cancer, including thetype and location of thetumors that have beenremoved.

Vice President NicolasMaduro had looked grim onWednesday when heacknowledged that Chavezfaced a “complex and hard”process after his latest sur-gery.

Amid the bad news, offi-cials have sought to show aunited front amid thegrowing worries aboutChavez’s health andVenezuela’s future. Keyleaders of Chavez’s partyand military officersappeared together on tele-vision as Maduro gaveupdates on Chavez’s condi-tion.

“We’re more united thanever,” said Maduro, whowas flanked by NationalAssembly PresidentDiosdado Cabello and OilMinister Rafael Ramirez,both key members ofChavez’s inner circle.“We’re united in loyalty toChavez.”

Analysts say Madurocould eventually face chal-lenges in trying to holdtogether the president’sdiverse “Chavismo” move-ment, which includesgroups from radical leftiststo moderates, as well asmilitary factions.

Tapped by the 58-year-old president over theweekend as his chosenpolitical heir, Maduro isconsidered to be a memberof radical left wing ofChavez’s movement that isclosely aligned with Cuba’scommunist government.

Cabello, a former mili-tary officer who also wieldspower within Chavez’smovement, shared thespotlight with Maduro byspeaking at a Mass forChavez’s health at a mili-tary base.

Just returned frombeing with Chavez for theoperation, Cabello calledthe president “invincible”but said “that man who isin Havana … is fighting abattle for his life.”

After Chavez’s six-houroperation Tuesday,Venezuelan televisionbroadcast religious serviceswhere people prayed forChavez, interspersed withcampaign rallies forupcoming gubernatorialelections.

On the streets ofCaracas, people on bothsides of the country’s deeppolitical divide voiced con-cerns about Chavez’s condi-tion and what might hap-pen if he died.

At campaign ralliesahead of Sunday’s guberna-torial elections, Chavez’scandidates urgedVenezuelans to vote forpro-government candidateswhile they also called forthe president to get well.

Many observers said itwas likely Chavez’s candi-dates could get a boostfrom their supporters’ out-pouring of sympathy forChavez.

Opposition leaderHenrique Capriles, wholost to Chavez in theOctober presidential elec-tion and is running against

gubernatorial candidateElia Jaua, complainedWednesday that his rivaland other Chavez allies aretaking advantage of thepresident’s health prob-lems to try to rally support.

Maduro looked sad as hespoke on television onWednesday. “It was a com-plex, difficult, delicateoperation,” he said. “Thepost-operative process isalso going to be a complexand hard process.”

Without giving details,the vice president reiterat-ed Chavez’s recent remarksthat the surgery presentedrisks and that peopleshould be prepared for any“difficult scenarios.”

The constitution sayspresidents should be swornin before the NationalAssembly, and if that’s notpossible then before theSupreme Court.

Former Supreme Courtmagistrate Roman DuqueCorredor said a presidentcannot delegate the swear-ing-in to anyone else andcannot take the oath ofoffice outside Venezuela. Apresident could still besworn in even if temporari-ly incapacitated, but wouldneed to be conscious and inVenezuela, Duque told The

Associated Press.If a president-elect is

declared incapacitated bylawmakers and is unable tobe sworn in, the NationalAssembly president wouldtemporarily take charge ofthe government and a newpresidential vote must beheld within 30 days, Duquesaid.

Chavez said Saturdaythat if an election had to beheld, Maduro should beelected president.

Chavez has undergonefour cancer-related surger-ies since June 2011. He hasalso undergone months ofchemotherapy and radia-tion treatments.Throughout his treat-ments, Chavez has keptsecret some details of hisillness, including the exactlocation and type of thetumors.

Ecuadorean PresidentRafael Correa wished hisclose ally the best, whilealso acknowledging thepossibility that cancermight end his presidency.“Chavez is very importantfor Latin America, but if hecan’t continue at the headof Venezuela, the processesof change have to contin-ue,” Correa said at a newsconference in Quito.

ICC: Sudan may facemore Darfur charges

UNITED NATIONS(AP) — Sudan may facemore charges for warcrimes, crimes againsthumanity and genocide inDarfur, the chief prosecutorof the InternationalCriminal Court saidThursday.

Fatou Bensouda told theU.N. Security Council thatcrimes continue to be com-mitted under Sudan’s “gov-ernment-avowed goal ofstopping the rebellion inDarfur.”

She said the incidentsunder investigationinclude bombings and bom-bardments, the blocking ofdistribution of humanitari-an aid and “direct attackson civilian populations.”

More than 300,000 peo-ple have been killed in theDarfur conflict since rebelstook up arms against thecentral government nearly10 years ago, accusing it ofdiscrimination and neglect.Violence has tapered off,but clashes continue.

Sudanese PresidentOmar al-Bashir and sever-al other Sudanese leadersalready face arrest war-

rants from the court. Al-Bashir, whose country isnot a member of the court,has traveled extensivelysince he was indicted bythe court in 2009 and againin 2010 for crimes includ-ing genocide and extermi-nation in Darfur.

Security Councilambassadors urgedrenewed efforts to arrestal-Bashir and bring him totrial, along with severalothers.

“The failure of the gov-ernment of Sudan to imple-ment the five arrest war-rants seems symbolic of itsongoing commitment to amilitary solution in Darfur,which has translated into astrategy aimed at attack-ing civilian populationsover the last 10 years, withtragic results,” Bensoudatold the council.

Sudan’s AmbassadorDaffa-Alla Elhag AliOsman dismissed much ofthe violence in Bensouda’sreport, attributing it to tra-ditional tribal clashes, andsaid the court was pursu-ing a heavy-handed politi-cal persecution of Sudan.

arrived at home and we weregoing to the grocery and hecouldn’t find his cane. We bothcame in the house and

searched to no avail. He wasjust sick about it. It had been aChristmas gift from our daugh-ter last year. It was an OhioState cane and so many peoplehave commented to him abouthis cane. It was one-of-a-kind!As we were backing out of

the driveway, I told him Iwould be on the lookout for it.We didn’t go far and there washis cane leaning up against thestop sign, just across the streetfrom our house.We want to thank the kind

person who took the time and

set it up for the loser to find. Itmade my husband a veryhappy man.A lot of people would have

seen it and left it lay or wouldhave stopped and taken it. Wewere the lucky ones thatsomeone found it and wantedit to go back to its rightfulowner.So whoever you are, we both

thank you very much. You arean angel!

DOONESBURY

Unless you have a child in school, you may not know that, begin-ning this school year, the federal government decided it needed to dic-tate more than ever before what happens in school cafeterias.Lawmakers have been controlling what is sold to students for manyyears now, but this year they took their intrusion to an unprecedent-ed level. Now they dictate not only what kids eat, but also portionsize, 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 implementthis mandate while knowing that it was poorly conceived. Of course,this was time spent above and beyond the work they had to do to pre-pare 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 outwhat school personnel have known all along —that the law wasn’t very well thought out. They’vecomplained to the USDA that kids aren’t gettingenough to eat and the USDA is doing whatbureaucrats do; they are changing the rules in themiddle of the game.Just so we’re all clear, this means that the

same people who created this mess in the firstplace are now going to fix it for us. How pricelessis that? So, school personnel who have been forcedto waste untold hours trying to figure out how toimplement an impossible law get to spend moretime trying to adjust to new standards.Lawmakers creating laws that won’t work, thencoming back to “fix” them later is a recurringtheme in education. It would be funny if it wasn'tso disgusting. It's like being forced to watch rerunsof a humorless sitcom.Also, isn’t it ironic that when school personnel

complained from the outset that this law was poor-ly conceived it fell on deaf ears? Not until a coupleof lawmakers agreed with what we said all alongdid change occur. It’s just another reminder of howstupid they think we are.

This fiasco can be pinned directly on theshoulders of the feds, but, rest assured, our statelawmakers are just as guilty of ignoring realityand passing laws that won’t work.For example, ignoring the mounds of research showing the ill

effects retaining students has on their future success, our state law-makers 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 willbe retained. In a couple of years we’ll be revisiting this law, too, butonly after untold dollars and time have been wasted and kids havebeen harmed.In another indefensible mandate, Ohio’s lawmakers have decided

that for a high school student to earn a diploma he/she mustpass Algebra II. Educators know and common sense tells us that notevery high school student has the ability to pass Algebra II, nor dothey need to. Yet, once again our lawmakers know better and kidswill be forced to take a class they cannot pass. I only wish that wecould force our lawmakers to take an Algebra II final exam then posttheir 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 requirementthat schools teach students about dating etiquette, and the “in theworks” law that changes the state report card for the thousandthtime are more examples of foolish laws that continue to be forcedupon us and that waste our time and money.Will it ever end?

Daily NewsAccording to Hallmark —

because you know enough to sendthe (most expensive) very best —Christmas is the largest card-send-ing holiday in the United Stateswith approximately 1.6billion cards sent annually.And this year I will be part of

the 1.6 billion card senders sincethis year I am actually forcingmyself to send out Christmascards to close friends and family –and I’m terrified.Why you ask? Because once you

start sending Christmas cards,there’s this annual anxiety attackof making sure you include everysingle person you sent one to theprior year.You know you envision those

friends and family members paus-ing at the kitchen counter withcheeks flushed from the jaunt tothe mailbox. You picture their reac-tion to seeing your name or pictureon the card as they reflect for 10seconds on who you are and thelast time your paths crossed.Then you picture the same

scene only without your family’scard in the large stack this yearand you know they are thinking:Wonder why we didn’t get a cardfrom so-and-so this year?You know, that kind of holiday

card anxiety.

I know. I'm a neurotic nut.My traditional excuse in the

past was that I never felt perma-nently settled enough to send acard to distant relatives or collegefriends.I would have felt awful if I had

moved and not left a forwardingaddress so if they had the entire365 days to fulfill the reciprocityrequirement attached to suchtokens of holiday tradition theywould do so with ease.Holiday cards aren’t so bad, it’s

sometimes what accompanies themthat can attest for some kind ofmental disorder. Because folks, ‘tisthe season to highlight all the fam-ily accomplishments of the year inthe form of the annual “HolidayNewsletter.”The new term for these annual

roundups of family accomplish-

ment is now called “Holiday BragLetters.” You know the familiesthat send out letters of how littleSuzy won the district spelling bee.Little Johnny broke his arm tryingto save a mother and her baby kit-tens from certain death in a barnblaze. Grandma June took firstprize in the county fair’s apple piecontest. Father Tim was able toput up only 121,000 Christmaslights this year due to the econo-my. We sure were hoping to toplast year’s light count of 125,000but we ran out of hired help.“Holiday Brag Letters” would

be more entertaining if only peoplewere more forthcoming about theirfamily trials and tribulations.Brother Hank moved home afterlosing his job in the typewriterindustry. Aunt Gina sold her dou-ble-wide after her fourth divorce. Itwas a nice lot with a great view ofthe wastewater treatment planttoo. Little Bobby still can’t readbut he sure can make some prettyneat stuff in art class at the juve-nile detention center.Yet, I’ve found many people are

no longer taking the time to writetheir “Holiday Brag Letters” andinstead are opting for more subtleforms of communication which nowflood our mailboxes — custom holi-day photo cards.

Earlier this week, I had got intouch with my cousin Debbie whohas a knack for correspondenceand Emily Post-like mail etiquette.You know, she's that one person

in the family who can perfectlytime a birthday card to arrive onthe actual birth date? Every familyhas one of these people, right?Cousin Debbie also has a knack ofwrapping Christmas presents withMartha Stewart perfection. To topit all off, she can tie a Tiffany bow.I am not making this up. She's asuper human.Anyhow, I had contacted my

dear Cousin Debbie to ask whather biggest pet peeve of Christmascard etiquette was before I senther card down to Miami Beach.Cousin Debbie lamented how

people don't even sign the cardsanymore."Two photo cards received today

... neither signed! What's wrongwith people!" cousin Debbie said.So I went back, opened up the

card, signed my name on Debbie’scard and sent it out along withthis column before it joined the 1.6billion others floating around thecountry this year.

Bar code’s co-inventor dies

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — NormanJoseph Woodland, the co-inventor ofthe bar code that labels nearly everyproduct in stores and has boosted pro-ductivity in nearly every sector ofcommerce worldwide, has died. Hewas 91.

Woodland died Sunday inEdgewater, N.J., from theeffects of Alzheimer’s diseaseand complications of hisadvanced age, his daughter,Susan Woodland of NewYork, said Thursday.

Woodland and BernardSilver were students at whatis now called DrexelUniversity in Philadelphiawhen Silver overheard a gro-cery-store executive askingan engineering school dean to channelstudents into research on how prod-uct information could be captured atcheckout, Susan Woodland said.

Woodland notably had worked onthe Manhattan Project, the U.S. mili-tary’s atomic bomb developmentteam. And having already earned amechanical engineering degree,Woodland dropped out of graduate

school to work on the bar code idea.He stole away to spend time with hisgrandfather in Miami to focus ondeveloping a code that could symboli-cally capture details about an item,Susan Woodland.

The only code Woodland knew wasthe Morse Code he’dlearned in the BoyScouts, his daughtersaid. One day, he drewMorse dots and dashes ashe sat on the beach andabsent-mindedly left hisfingers in the sand wherethey traced a series ofparallel lines.

“It was a moment ofinspiration. He said,‘instead of dots and dashes

I can have thick and thin bars,’”Susan Woodland said.

Woodland and Silver submittedtheir patent in 1949 for a code pat-terned on concentric circles thatlooked like a bull’s eye. The patentwas issued in 1952, 60 years ago thisfall. Silver died in 1963.

Woodland joined IBM in 1951 hop-ing to develop the bar code, but the

technology wasn’t accepted for morethan two decades until lasers made itpossible to read the code readily, thetechnology company said. In the early1970s, Woodland moved to Raleigh tojoin a team at IBM’s ResearchTriangle Park, N.C., facility. The teamdeveloped a bar-code-reading laserscanner system in response todemand from grocers’ desires to auto-mate and speed checkout while alsocutting handling and inventory man-agement costs.

IBM promoted a rectangular bar-code that led to a standard for univer-sal product code technology. The firstproduct sold using a UPC scan was a67-cent package of Wrigley’s chewinggum at a supermarket in Troy, Ohio,in June 1974, according to GS1 US,the American affiliate of the globalstandard-setting UPC body.

Today, about 5 billion products arescanned and tracked worldwide everyday.

Woodland was born Sept 6, 1921,in Atlantic City, N.J.

Woodland and Microsoft founderBill Gates were among those honoredat the White House in 1992 for theirachievements to technology, fourmonths after President George H.W.Bush appeared amazed at a demon-stration of a grocery checkoutmachine.

SHERIFF’S REPORTS

Senate eyes ban of stalking softwareWASHINGTON (AP) —

A loophole that permits soft-ware companies to sellcyberstalking apps thatoperate secretly on cell-phones could soon be closedby Congress. The software ispopular among jealous wivesor husbands because it cancontinuously track thewhereabouts of a spouse.

The Senate JudiciaryCommittee approved a billThursday that makes it acrime for companies to makeand intentionally operate astalking app. The legislation,sponsored by Sen. AlFranken, D-Minn., alsowould curb the appeal forsuch inexpensive and easy-to-use programs by requiringcompanies to disclose theirexistence on a target’s phone.

Stalking and wiretappingalready are illegal, but thereare no provisions in federallaw that clearly prohibitbusinesses from making anapp whose primary purposeis to help one person stalkanother. Franken’s proposalwould extend the criminaland civil liabilities for theimproper use of the apps toinclude the software compa-nies that sell them.

The proposal wouldupdate laws passed yearsbefore wireless technologyrevolutionized communica-tions. Telephone companiescurrently are barred fromdisclosing to businesses thelocations of people whomaketraditional phone calls. Butthere’s no such prohibitionwhen communicating over

the Internet. If a mobiledevice sends an email, linksto a website or launches anapp, the precise location ofthe phone can be passed toadvertisers, marketers andothers without the user’spermission.

“What’s most troubling isthis: Our law is not protect-ing location information,”said Franken, chairman ofthe Senate Judiciary sub-committee on privacy, tech-nology and the law.

The ambiguity has creat-ed a niche for companies likeRetina Software, whichmakes ePhoneTracker anddescribes it as “stealth phonespy software.” It’s availableonline for about $50.

“Suspect your spouse ischeating?” the company’swebsite says. “Don’t breakthe bank by hiring a privateinvestigator.”

An emailed statementfrom Retina Software saidthe program is for the lawfulmonitoring of a cellphonethat the purchaser of thesoftware owns and has aright to monitor. If there isevidence the customer does-n’t own the phone, theaccount is closed, the compa-ny said. The program is notintended or marketed formalicious purposes anddoesn’t facilitate stalking,the statement said.

But Franken and sup-porters of his bill said thereis no way to ensure the rulesare followed. These pro-grams can be installed inmoments, perhaps while the

cellphone’s actual owner issleeping or in the shower.The apps operate invisibly tothe cellphone’s user. Theycan silently record text mes-sages, call logs, physical loca-tions and visits to websites.All the information isrelayed to an email addresschosen by the installer.

Even when people discov-er the software on theirphones, they don’t knowwhat to do, said Rick Mislan,a Rochester Institute ofTechnology professor whospecializes in mobile securi-ty and forensics. “Lawenforcement usually won’thelp them because they’vegot bigger fish to fry,” hesaid.

Franken’s bill is a com-mon-sense step to curbstalking and domestic vio-lence by taking away a toolthat gives one person powerover another, victims advoca-cy groups said.

“It’s really, really trou-bling that an industry wouldsee an opportunity to makemoney off of strengtheningsomeone’s opportunity tocontrol and threaten anotherindividual,” said KarenJarmoc, executive director ofthe Connecticut CoalitionAgainst Domestic Violence.

Franken’s bill wouldmake companies subject tocivil liability if they fail tosecure permission beforeobtaining location informa-tion from a person’s cell-phone and sharing it withanyone else. They also wouldbe liable if they fail to tell a

user no later than sevendays after the service beginsthat the program is runningon their phone. Companieswould face a criminal penal-ty if they knowingly operatean app with the intent tofacilitate stalking.

The bill includes anexception to the permissionrequirement for parents whowant to place tracking soft-ware on the cellphones ofminor children without thembeing aware it is there.

A domestic violence casein St. Louis County, Minn.,helped persuade Franken tointroduce his bill. A womanhad entered a county build-ing to meet with her advo-cate when she received atext message from her abus-er asking her why she wasthere, according to congres-sional testimony deliveredlast year by the NationalNetwork to End DomesticViolence. Frightened, sheand her advocate went to thelocal courthouse to file for aprotective order. She gotanother text demanding toknow why she was at thecourthouse.They later deter-mined her abuser was trac-ing her movements with anapp that had been placed onher cellphone. The womanwas not identified by namein the congressional testimo-ny.

Franken said that whiledoing research for the bill, heheard similar stories fromwomen in Iowa, Wisconsin,Arizona and several otherstates.

Dear Heloise: Sometimesservice-repair workers showup without covers to protectthe carpets/floors when theyhave to walk through. Thatmakes me pretty nervous! Ihave found that the cheapestwhite tablecloths from thediscount store work great.

Fold lengthwise for double-strength coverage. Tape theends with a wide tape thatdoes not leave residue on thecarpet/floor. The tape willkeep the temporary floor run-ner in place and keep theends from tripping up therepair person.

I still wonder why all serv-ices don’t have disposable

booties available if their workrequires going inside thehome. — Mary A., via email

A good point, and thanksfor the hint. I’d love to hearfrom the professionals on thisissue. You could ask them totake their shoes off, like folksin Hawaii do. It keeps thefloors clean! — Heloise

UNSHRINKING ASWEATERDear Heloise: Help! I

shrunk one of my favoritesweaters. Is there anything Ican do to reshape it? — AReader, via email

I do have an old-fashionedremedy that might help. Itworks if the sweater hasshrunk only a small bit, notseveral sizes.

Fill your sink with coolwater and add 2 tablespoonsof regular hair shampoo.Soak the sweater for 30 min-utes, then gently squeeze outthe excess water. Do not rinsethe sweater — simply lay iton a towel and roll it up to

remove moisture. Unroll andgently stretch it back intoshape, and block it on a flattowel.

Have any other clothingdisasters that you need helpwith? Order my pamphletHeloise’s Handy Stain Guidefor Clothing. Send $5 and along, self-addressed, stamped(65 cents) envelope to:Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box795001, San Antonio, TX78279-5001.

Prior to washing, tracearound the sweater. Onceout of the washing machine,you now have a guide forreshaping your sweater. —Heloise

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I'm a 54-year-oldsingle woman and a part-time col-lege professor. I have threegrown, successful children.

At the time I met my boyfriend,"Joe," I was living in a nice board-inghouse in an affluent area. Joe,63, was divorced and for fiveyears had been living with two ofhis sisters in the old family homein a working-class neighborhood.Joe had a great job as a contrac-tor.

After a year, my friends and Ifinally convinced Joe to move outof the family house, and we gotan apartment together. Life wasgreat until I found out he wasgiving the rent money to hisyoungest son, 24. My incomealone wouldn't cover the rent, andwe were evicted. Joe moved backto the family nest. I was not invit-ed and was left homeless.

After six months, I got back onmy feet. Joe wanted to repair ourrelationship and got an apart-ment in the city. Meanwhile, hiseldest son and his daughter(along with her baby) moved intothe family house, although theyboth have good jobs. After a yearin his apartment, Joe lost his joband moved back in with his sis-ters.

I begged him to find a placewhere we could live together, buthe made excuses about themoney. I think the problem isthat the familial need to livetogether is permanently instilled.I love him, and he says he lovesme. What should I do? — From aBoardinghouseDear Boarding: When Joe

found his own apartment, it wasa step in the right direction. Butwhenever the chips are down, hegoes right back to his family. Thisis not unusual, but if it's a long-term pattern, it could preventhim from making any commit-ment to you. Until Joe is ready tobecome independent, the two ofyou don't have much of a future.But you also seem overly focusedon affluent vs. working class. Ifyou want someone more ambi-tious, look elsewhere.Dear Annie: Would you please

settle an etiquette question?When one hosts a party andguests bring a dish to share, dothey take home whatever is leftover, or do the hosts get to keepit?

I was taught that what onebrings to a party is left with thehosts. Now we wonder whetherthis is correct, because we recent-ly moved, and all of our newfriends pack up whatever remainsand take it home with them. —Wondering in MaineDear Maine: If all the guests

are asked to bring a dish becausethe dinner is potluck, they maytake their leftovers home. Guestswho bring a dish or a bottle ofwine as a hostess gift, shared ornot, should definitely leave it. Theonly exception is when the hostsdo not want the leftovers and askthat people please take food homewith them. That said, however, ifthe custom within your group offriends is that everyone brings adish and they each take their left-overs home, it's best to cooperate.Dear Annie: This letter is in

response to "Grateful Mama ofLittle One," who wanted to knowthe proper way to ask that notoys be given at her 1-year-old'sbirthday party.

Although I agree that birthdayinvitations should not come with"wish lists," saying "no toys,please" is a courtesy. As someonewho spends a great deal of timeselecting the perfect gift, I wouldfeel miffed if I discovered thechild's mother had marched thegift right back to the store. Thereis no harm in putting "no toys" onthe invitation. Everyone may begrateful. — Grand Island, Neb.Dear Grand: A gift is just that

and should not be dictated. Butwe do like the idea of parents cre-ating a "theme party," whereguests are asked to bring a bookor another item to be donated.

NEW YORK (AP)—Desperation, poor timing,denial, miscommunication,estrangement, insecurities.All the stuff of comedythanks to Melissa JamesGibson’s gift of quirky,intellectual writing as pre-sented in her inventivenew play “What RhymesWith America.”

World-premiering off-Broadway at the AtlanticTheater Company, thesmart production thatopened Wednesday night isfilled with thoughtfulmoments, humor and weirdtruths. Gibson has a knackfor giving her charactersincreasingly compelling,disjointed dialogue, non-sequiturs and silences.

Director Daniel Aukinhas staged many ofGibson’s plays in NewYork,most recently “This,” andhis compatibility with herwriting and intent is onstylish display here. Scenesand dialogue often overlap,reflecting the disparatecharacters’ similar feel-ings.

Chris Bauer is complexand ingratiating as Hank,a down-on-his luck fatherin his 40s who, with fiscalimprudence, imploded hismarriage of two decadesand lost his university job.Gamely working as a silentopera extra, Hank stillpines for his almost-ex-wife, Gina (never seen),and tries mightily to rekin-dle a relationship with hisestranged teenage daugh-ter, Marlene (AimeeCarrero, sweet and deli-cately glum).

With all contact forbid-den, Hank nonetheless con-ducts some earnest, stum-bling conversations withMarlene through herclosed front door. Bauer,television star of “TrueBlood” and “The Wire,”gives Hank a realisticallyresigned air, mingling frus-

tration with hope.Marlene composes and

sings dysthymic songsabout how messed up theworld is, saying flatly that“Far Awayness” is her pri-mary criterion for a col-lege. Yet, while Carrerogives comical readings toteenage self-obsessions,such as “I think my teethmight be going buck,” herMarlene also comes across

as possibly the most emo-tionally mature person inthis bunch.

Seana Kofoed isendearingly childlike asemotionally stuntedLydia, a neurotic, 40-something medical writer.Lydia’s awkward, almost-connecting date withHank is a very funny, well-timed farce by Bauer andKofoed.

Goodellshould heedTags’ tips

BY JIM LITKEAP Sports Columnist

Paul Tagliabue has become oneof those guys we come to appreciatemuch more out of office than we didwhen he was in it. Part of that isbecause history has been kind, sofar, in assessing his 17-year run ascommissioner.

Some of it may have to do withhis successor.

Tagliabue lacked charisma, butnever smarts. Low-key and prag-matic to the end, he rarely madehimself the story. He reminded us ofthat again this week by giving bothsides in Bountygate enough to tonedown their feud, even as it wasabout to get uglier. Instead of blus-ter or threats, Tagliabue used legaljujitsu to solve a problem quicklyand quietly, so everyone could getback to the field and the real busi-ness of making money. The sameprinciple he applied in that decisioncould have characterized Tagliabue’sno-nonsense reign: It’s the game,stupid.

Contrast that with RogerGoodell.While the current commis-sioner doesn’t suffer in any compari-son on the business side, he shouldlearn to tone it down. The NFL hasnever been more popular and a lookat this weekend’s slate of gamesdemonstrates why. There are somany matchups between contendersspread over a half-dozen towns thatWeek 15 looks like the playoffs havealready begun. It would take consid-erable luck and scrambling for thepostseason to come up with threegames that look as entertaining asSan Francisco at New England,Denver at Baltimore and Chicago atGreen Bay.

But that wasn’t enough forGoodell.

Speaking after an owners meet-ingWednesday in the Dallas area,Goodell took issue with Tagliabue’sruling in Bountygate, contendinghis predecessor let the players offthe hook too easy. Never mind thatTagliabue did the same for Goodell,shoring up the shaky scaffolding ofan investigation that couldn’t affordto take many more hits.

“My personal view is I holdeveryone responsible,” Goodell said.“Player health and safety is animportant issue in this league.We’reall going to have to contribute tothat, whether you’re a commission-er, whether you’re a coach, whetheryou’re a player, and we all have tobe held accountable for it.”

Considering the week he justhad, and the two previous weekendstrying to soothe grieving familiesand teammates following senselesstragedies, you would think Goodellwould be laying low. So naturally, hewent against the grain and let slipthat the league will charge a com-mittee with looking into expandingthe playoffs to 14 or even 16 teams.Not surprising, it drew about asmuch support from players as anearlier proposal he floated for an 18-game regular season.

In a tweet, the Packers TomCrabtree suggested that whileGoodell was at it, he might as welllengthen the preseason, too, expandthe regular season to 82 games“(like nba)” and turn the playoffsinto a “like triple elimination?”

More to the heart of the issuewas this from Sports Illustratedmagazine’s Peter King:

“The NFL has to stop thinking ofways to make more money, andstart thinking of ways to keep thegame the best game in America.”

To be fair, Goodell has tried. Hemight have been reluctant to takeon the concussion-related issuesthat cloud the game’s future thesame ones that flew under the radarduring Tagliabue’s tenure, and thoseof his predecessors. But he’s made alargely good-faith effort since. Nodoubt it’s difficult striking a balanceas both CEO of an enterprise thatrakes in $9 billion a year while atthe same time protecting theemployees that make the game go.With mounting litigation over thosevery same player-safety problems,everything he says is likely to beparsed for its value in a court of lawone day.

But the more he stubbornlydefends every one of his positions —even the ones, as in Bountygate,where Goodell cherry-picked evi-dence and arrived at the wrong con-clusion — the less of an honest bro-ker he becomes. Not to mention abigger distraction. The more head-lines Goodell grabs, the less thereare for the games themselves, whichis where a commissioner’s focusshould be directed.

Besides, the league has plenty ofhigh-priced lawyers to help it charta course through what alreadyresembles a legal minefield. Andnobody rushes generals to the frontin fights anymore. So maybe a fewweeks in the background and awayfrom the bully pulpit would doGoodell’s reputation a lot of goodright now.

Angels score big name in HamiltonLOS ANGELES (AP) — Josh

Hamilton is heading to the LosAngeles Angels, lured with a $125million, five-year contract thatsteps up the migrationof high-profile stars toSouthern California.

The Angels persuad-ed the free-agent out-fielder to leave theTexas Rangers withtheir third big-moneyoffseason signing in asmany years. Hamiltonheads to Anaheim afterfirst baseman AlbertPujols came West for$240 million last December alongwith pitcher C.J. WilsonHamilton’s Texas teammate for$77.5 million.

Still, the Angels failed to make

the playoffs for the third straightyear.

They had bulked up theirpitching staff earlier in the offsea-

son with the additionsof pitchers Joe Blantonand Tommy Hanson,along with relieversSean Burnett and RyanMadson.

General managerJerry Dipoto had saidWednesday that he did-n’t think a major movewas “imminent orrequired.”

But owner ArteMoreno pulled off another coup bygetting Hamilton. The 2010 ALMVP, Pujols and AL Rookie of theYear Mike Trout combined for 103home runs and 316 RBIs last sea-

son.“It’s a great day to be an

Angel/Angel fan!” Wilson said onhis Twitter account.

Rangers general manager JonDaniels said Hamilton hadreached a deal with the AL Westrival Angels. Two people familiarwith the talks disclosed theamount and length of the contract,speaking on condition of anonymi-ty because the agreement was notyet final.

Hamilton’s $25million averagesalary matches Philadelphia firstbaseman Ryan Howard for thesecond-highest in baseball, trail-ing only Alex Rodriguez’s $27.5million average with the NewYork Yankees.

Since the contract wasn’t final,the Angels didn’t comment pub-

licly. The team said in a state-ment, “We continue to look forways to improve our team.As soonas we have something formal toannounce, we will do so.”

Moreno and manager MikeScioscia didn’t immediatelyrespond to phone messages.

The Angels allowed free agentoutfielder Torii Hunter to signwith Detroit, and he reacted to hisformer team’s latest move on hisTwitter account.

“I was told money was tightbut I guess the Arte had moneyhidden under a Mattress.Business is business but don’t lie,”Hunter wrote.

He followed up with the com-ment, “Great signing for theAngels. One of the best players inbaseball.”

Old frenemiesBEREA (AP) — Trent

Richardson remembers Redskinsrunning back Alfred Morris withlong hair and one of his team-mates stupidly yanking on itbefore a game.

“He got so hot and everyonewas so scared of him,” Richardsonsaid. “Nobody would touch him.He was a big guy. He was thebiggest dude out there.”

Morris, too, can pictureRichardson a bigger-than-average kid, years before he start-ed carrying the ball for theBrowns.

“He had calves of a grownman,” Morris said.

The two rookies, who begantheir football careers bashingtheir way to stardom on sandlotsin their hometown of Pensacola,Fla., a football talent hotbed, tookdissimilar paths to the NFL. Butthey’ll cross paths again andrenew their rivalry Sunday whenthe Browns (5-8) host theRedskins (7-6).

Richardson was expected tohave an immediate impact on theBrowns, and despite playing forweeks with a rib injury that won’tbe fully healed until the offseason,the No. 3 overall pick in this year’sdraft has lived up to projections.He’s rushed for 869 yards andmatched the team rookie recordwith nine rushing touchdowns, amark he shares with Hall ofFamer Jim Brown, who caused acontroversy when he calledRichardson “ordinary” after theBrowns selected him.

Richardson has been special.Morris has been even better for

the Redskins.The sixth-round pick (No. 173

overall) from Florida Atlanticenters this week’s game with1,228 yards and seven scores.Morris is fourth among theleague’s top rushers and he’s thelatest in a long line of young backsto thrive under Redskins coachMike Shanahan, who had fourrookies top 1,000 yards rushing in

Denver.Shanahan’s system has helped

Morris, but the humble 23-year-old has earned every yard throughhard work and dedication valueshe developed in Pensacola, alsothe home of career rushing leaderEmmitt Smith.

Morris arrived at Redskinscamp driving a 1991 Mazda, andalthough he can now afford toreplace the car with 125,000mileson the odometer, Morris has nointention of splurging. And whenhe visits his parents’ home, heusually stays on the couch.

“I actually like the couch,” hesaid. “It’s pretty comfortable.”

He’s equally relaxed in thesame backfield with dynamicquarterback Robert Griffin III,giving the Redskins an offensethat’s become one of the league’smost potent attacks.

Morris is outshiningRichardson, but he’s not gloatingabout any statistical advantageover his longtime peer.

More fruitless talks lead NHL nowhereNEW YORK (AP) — Two days

of talks between the NHL, theplayers’ association, and federalmediators still haven’t providedany answers how to end the lock-out.

Representatives from thefighting sides made it into thesame room with a federal media-tor Thursday. They just didn’tmake any noticeable progress.After a failed day Wednesdaywhen the parties on either end ofthe hockey labor dispute nevermet with each other, lawyers fromeach group spoke face to faceThursday.

They appear no closer to a dealto save the season.

President Barack Obamaaddressed the stalemate in aninterview Thursday with WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.

“My message to owners and toplayers is, ‘You guys make a lot ofmoney and you make a lot ofmoney on the backs of fans, so do

right by your fans. You can figureout how to spread out a bunch ofrevenue that you’re bringing in,but do right by the people whosupport you,’” Obama said. “And Ishouldn’t have to be involved in adispute between really wealthy

players and even wealthier own-ers. They should be able to settlethis themselves. And rememberwho it is that’s putting all thatmoney in their pockets.”

Players’ association specialcounsel Steve Fehr, who met with

league lead counsel BobBatterman on Thursday, said thesides intend to talk Friday eitherin person or by phone.

“I expect the mediators willcontinue to be involved,” Fehrwrote in an email to TheAssociated Press. “Do not want tocharacterize the discussion today.”

At no point on either day thisweek did union executive directorDonald Fehr meet with NHLCommissioner Gary Bettman anddeputy commissioner Bill Daly.

Daly said he expected to talk toSteve Fehr today.

“I’m not sure what the nextsteps will be,” Daly told the AP inan email. “I do expect the media-tors to stay involved in terms ofmonitoring our ongoing negotia-tions, but at this point there areno further sessions planned. Itdoesn’t appear there was move-ment by either side on any of themain issues over the last twodays.”

Saintsfire backat NFL

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Oneday after his suspension in theNFL’s bounty probe was over-turned, Jonathan Vilma movedforward with his defamationclaims against CommissionerRoger Goodell, while Drew Breesand other teammateswent on theoffensive against Goodell and theleague office.

“What I would like to see is alevel of accountability on the partof the NFL and CommissionerGoodell in regards to mishan-dling of this entire situation,”Brees said after practiceWednesday. “We as players holdourselves and are held to a verystrict code of conduct both on andoff the field. We have to beaccountable to that, as it shouldbe, and I feel like they should beheld to the same standards.

“If someone would just comeout in the league office and admit,‘You know what? We could havehandled this situation better,’ itwould go such a long way withboth players and fans. Peoplewould really come around to real-ize what this thing was all aboutbecause right now the leagueoffice and Commissioner Goodellhave very little to no credibilitywith us as players.”

Speaking later at a specialleague meeting in Dallas,Goodell, when apprised of Brees’comments, said he wouldn’t apol-ogize.

“To have a bounty programwhere you’re targeting playersfor injury is completely unaccept-able in the NFL, and it is clearthat occurred for three yearsdespite all of the denials,”Goodellsaid.

Vilma was initially suspendedan entire season while threeother players Saints defensiveend Will Smith, Cleveland line-backer Scott Fujita and free-agent defensive linemanAnthonyHargrove, received various sus-pensions of shorter lengths.

In motions filedWednesday inU.S.District Court,Vilma and theNFL Players Association filedmotions dropping their claimsagainst the league over the play-er-discipline phase of the bountyprobe. However, Vilma notifiedU.S. District Judge GingerBerrigan he would continue topursue defamation claims hefiled against the commissionerback in May.

Future up inair for Big EastNEWYORK (AP) — The

Big East is headed foranother break up. Thistime, the seven prominentbasketball schools thatdon’t play FBS football areplanning to break awayfrom the ever-changing con-ference.The divorce is expected

to be complicated, maybeeven contentious, with mil-lions of dollars and possiblythe future of the league atstake.The Big East’s non-foot-

ball members decidedThursday to separate fromthe conference, a personfamiliar with the decisiontold The Associated Press.The person spoke on

condition of anonymitybecause officials from thoseschools are still sortingthrough details and tryingto figure how best to splitfrom the conference. Noofficial announcement isimminent.The seven schools that

don’t play FBS-level foot-ball are St. John’s,Georgetown, Marquette,DePaul, Seton Hall,Providence and Villanova.Officials at those schoolshave concerns about thedirection of the conferenceand feel as if they have lit-tle power to influence it.Commissioner Mike

Aresco conferred by phonewith the leaders of thoseseven schools earlier in theday, according to another

person familiar with thesituation, also speaking oncondition of anonymity.The current Big East

football membershipincludes only four schoolsSouth Florida, Connecticutand Cincinnati, Templethat are committed to theleague beyond 2013. Butthere are 11 schools withplans to join the Big East inthe next three years,including Boise State andSan Diego State for footballonly in 2013.Because those schools

won’t be members untilnext summer, the majorityof the voting members ofthe Big East are basketballschools right now. Still,those schools aren’t in posi-tion to dissolve the confer-ence. That would take thevotes of at least two footballmembers, according to theBig East bylaws.The Catholic schools can

leave without financialpenalty. The Big East hasprovisions in its bylawsthat allow a group ofschools to leave withoutexit fees.But what they would do

remains unclear, as are thelegal ramifications of theiractions. There has beenspeculation those sevenbasketball schools couldmerge with the Atlantic 10or possibly add schoolsfrom that league to create abasketball-only conferenceof smaller Catholic schools.

Mount Union faces newbies in D-III title gameBy The Associated Press

The numbers are stag-gering, as if there must be atypo.But there is none.In 27 years as the head

football coach at MountUnion, Larry Kehres’Purple Raiders have played358 games and won 331.They’ve lost 24, and tiedthree. His winning percent-age of .929 is easily the bestin college football history,and five of his losses have

come in the NCAA’sDivision III national cham-pionship game, a game histeam has also won 10 times.All the appearances havecome since 1993.On Friday night in

Salem, Va., the PurpleRaiders (14-0) will play forthe title again, meeting St.Thomas of Minnesota (14-0). It will be Mount Union’s15th title appearance in 17years, and the Tommies’first.For Mount Union safety

Nick Driskill and 24 otherseniors on the PurpleRaiders, the game is muchmore than just another tripto Salem Stadium. It’s alsotheir last chance to finallywin a championship.For three seasons in a

row heading into this one,Driskill’s memory has beena long bus ride back toAlliance, Ohio, the PurpleRaiders having been beatenby Wisconsin-Whitewaterfor the championship.Since the Purple Raiders

won their first title in 1993,no class at Mount Unionhas gone all four yearswithout winning at leastone national championship.Driskill’s class could be thefirst.It’s why, he said, for all

the awards he has won asan athlete and scholar, thisgame is the one that willdetermine whether he looksback on his college career ina positive light, or a nega-tive one.“This is why I came to

Mount Union,” saidDriskill, from Wabash, Ind.“It’s not just to play innational championships.It’s to win.As I look back onmy career, whether I lookback on it on a positive noteor a negative note, personal-ly for me, this is make-or-break. I wouldn’t have itany other way.”•NAIA ChampionshipMarian 30,Morningside 27 OTROME, Ga. — Michael
