Rate offers not linked to electric aggregation

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com Because American Electric Power petitioned the Public Utility Commission of Ohio to raise its generation rates in January, another electricity supplier is competing for customers in Delphos. AEP Ohio handles both generation and distribution. It will continue to handle the latter but mailings have been received that offer a fixed rate per kilowatt hour on the generation side of ones electric bill. The company is Akronbased First Energy Solutions, which is also seeking to work with the city in governmental aggregation. However, the two matters are independent of each other and the mailings should not be confused with aggregation. Our mass-market offer is a fixed rate on the generation portion of their bill. Thats where a competitive supplier can come in and offer a lower price than what the utility offers and thats what were looking to do, said Representative Diane Francis. In the message section of the bill, it will list the price to compare, which is the price you pay AEP Ohio for your electric generation. So, if our offered fixed rate is lower than the price to com-

NKorea mourns Kim Jong II; son is successor

By RAFAEL WOBER The Associated Press Korean capital, Pyongyang, people wailed in grief, some kneeling on the ground or bowing repeatedly. Children and adults laid flowers at key memorials. A tearful Kim Yong Ho said Kim Jong Il had made peoples lives happier. That is what he was doing when he died: working, traveling on a train, he said. Other North Koreans walked in line past a giant painting of Kim Jong Il and his late father, national founder Kim Il Sung, standing together on Mount Paektu, Kim Jong Ils official birthplace. Wreaths were neatly placed below the painting. How could the heavens be so cruel? Please come back, general. We cannot believe youre gone, Hong Son Ok shouted in an interview with North Koreas official television, her body shaking wildly. He passed away too suddenly to our profound regret, said a statement carried by the Norths official Korean Central News Agency. The heart of Kim Jong Il stopped beating, but his noble and august name and benevolent image will always be remembered by our army and people. North Korean state media fell short of any official statements on a succession, but gave clear indications that Kim Jong Un, the third son of Kim Jong Il, would be in charge. The North said in a dispatch that the people and the military have pledged to uphold the leadership of comrade Kim Jong Un and called him a great successor of the countrys revolutionary philosophy of juche, or self reliance. The death could set back efforts by the United States and others to get Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions, because the untested successor may seek to avoid any perceived weakness as he moves to consolidate control. The situation could become extremely volatile. What the North Korean military does in the next 24-48 hours will be decisive, See NKOREA, page 3A

Francis said if the city enters aggregation with First Energy Solutions, customers who accept the companys current individual offer can switch programs at no charge if aggregation turns out less expensive for the customer. Border Energy has also sent mailings to some local residents but the company chose not to make an offer on aggregation, according to Safety Service Director Greg Berquist. Residents who enter a contract with Border Energy may not be able to participate in aggregation if the city enters an agreement with First Energy Solutions. Berquist said the company has made three offers. First Energy Solutions made three proposals. The first one was an 8 percent reduction on the price to compare with a 2-year agreement and the city would get a grant. The second one was a 9 percent reduction for 2 years without a grant and the third plan is an 11 percent reduction for three years and the city gets a grant. The See ELECTRIC, page 3A

increase in need coupled with a drop in donations. Siena House, a womens shelter in Waukesha, Wis., briefly shut down this past summer because it didnt have the money to continue operations. A fall fundraising drive brought in $60,000 and Siena House was able to reopen in December. The First Baptist Church of Danville, Ky., in November closed its small food bank that fed up to 200 families a year because of volunteer and donation shortages. The food bank depended entirely on donations for its operation and volunteers to run it and just couldnt keep up with demand, said Tom Butler, a church volunteer. About 8 percent of the charities included in the report say they are in danger of closing for financial reasons, while among smaller charities, that figure is 20 percent. Nonprofits are still facing very challenging circumstances, said Una Osili, director of research at The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, one of six organizations in the Nonprofit Research Collaborative. Few will actually go out of business, Osili said, but cutting programs and laying off staff are a real possibility. Many are using volunteers to do jobs previously completed See SLOW, page 3A

For The Record nYC police: suspect says woman set afire over debt
By CristiAn sALAZAr the Associated Press NEW YORK As Deloris Gillespie went up the elevator to her fifth-floor Brooklyn apartment, carrying groceries, a man was waiting. His face was one her neighbors later recognized, and she surely must have, too. Surveillance video from inside the small elevator shows that he looked something like an exterminator, with a canister sprayer, white gloves and a dust mask, which was perched atop his head. The sprayer was full of flammable liquid. When the elevator opened Saturday afternoon, the man sprayed the 73-year-old woman sort of methodically over her head and parts of her body as her bags of groceries draped off her arms, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. She crouched down to try to protect herself, he said. Then, Browne said, the attacker pulled out a barbecue-style lighter and used it to ignite a rag in a bottle. He waited a few seconds as Gillespie huddled on the floor. Then he backed out of the elevator and tossed the flaming bottle in. Neighbors in the Prospect Heights building had no idea a woman was being burned alive when they quickly reported a fire. Overnight, a 47-yearold man smelling of gasoline went into a police station and implicated himself in Gillespies death, Browne said. The suspect, Jerome Isaac, told police he set her on fire because she owed him $2,000 for some work he had done for her, Browne said. Isaac, of Brooklyn, was arrested Sunday on murder and arson charges. The Brooklyn district attorneys office had no information on whether he had an attorney. When Jaime Holguin, who lives on the same floor as Gillespie, saw surveillance pictures of the attacker he said, Oh, my God! Holguin, the manager of news development for The Associated Press, said the man in the surveillance pictures looked like a man who had lived with Gillespie for about six months last year and appeared to have been helping her out. He was certain Isaac was the man who worked for Gillespie after seeing post-arrest pictures of the suspect.

At 3:19 p.m. on Thursday, Delphos Police service an active arrested warrant issued out of Allen County Ohio on Carl Hoffman, 47, of Delphos. Reports indicate the warrant was issued on an contempt of court violation stemHoffman ming from a prior arrest for trafficking in marijuana. Hoffman was turned over to deputies from the Allen County Sheriffs department.

POLICE REPORT

Driver in crash eludes police

(Continued from 2A)

Ohio utility regulations benefit companies

COLUMBUS (AP) When Ohio changed the way it regulated utility rates more than a decade ago, lower prices were promised to consumers. However, a newspaper investigation shows that prices have instead gone up and the states one-of-a-kind mix of traditional regulations with free-market elements creates an environment that favors the industry over consumers. A typical Columbus household pays 41 percent more for electricity now than it did five years ago, an investigation by The Columbus Dispatch shows. For small businesses, thats even higher they pay 51 percent more now than in 2006. Those rates climbed three times faster than the rate of inflation over the same period. The investigation also found that utility companies have a disproportionate amount of political power

STATE/LOCAL

At 1 p.m. on Friday, officers were called to the intersection of First and Main streets regarding a two-car crash in which one vehicle had slammed into the rear end of another vehicle stopped for the traffic light. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the vehicle which had caused the collision had been operated by Phillip L. Cross, 23, of Delphos. Also in this vehicle was Phillips girlfriend, Bowers Tiffany L. Bowers, 21, also of Delphos, who was the owner of the vehicle. After the collision had occurred but before police could arrive, Cross fled the scene on foot. Bowers initially lied to police and claimed she did not know the male who had been driving her car. After a period of time, Bowers did admit Cross that the male driver was her boyfriend Cross. A short time later, police arrived at the residence of Cross. Before police even exited their vehicles, Cross ran from the rear of his home and eluded officers. Cross has still not been located. As a result of this incident, Tiffany L. Bowers was arrested for one count of obstructing official business and taken to the Allen County Jail. Cross is expected to be charged with driving under suspension, failure to stop after an accident, assured cleared distance ahead and obstructing official business. In addition to the current charges, Cross is on probation/parole out of two different counties for previous criminal violations. It is expected that these agencies will be issuing probation violation warrants for his arrest.

that changed the way Ohio regulates utilities. You would think that people would be more outrages, considering that its (their) money lots of money. Before Johnsons 1999 law was enacted, electricity bills were tied to the price of service. If it cost $1 to generate power and deliver it to the customer, that consumer was charged $1.10, covering the cost of service and allowing the company to profit. That was replaced by a hybrid system that combines traditional regulations with aspects of an open market and is something unique to Ohio. The agency that enforces utility laws is the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. It is structured to ensure that its decisions cant be influenced by politics, but former employees tell the newspaper that the agency has a culture that defends the interest of utilities, sometimes at cost to (Continued from page 1A)

the consumer. The commission is governed by a five-member board. Despite a docket full of tough judgment calls, it supports most proposals unanimously without any debate, the newspaper reported. Since 2005, 99 percent of all approvals have been by unanimous vote, according to the newspapers review of records. An exception came last week when it cut in half a $600 million base rate increase requested by American Electric Power. Commission chairman Todd Snitchler said he wanted to balance the needs of all customers, and he had concerns that parts of the proposal could have violated state law. He said the agency strives for fairness. Were not here to cherrypick favorites and do things that favor one against the other, he said.

Joe Hamrock, president and chief operating officer of AEP Ohio, said the commission doesnt favor one side over another, but instead there is an ebb and flow where all sides will sometimes feel like the other parties are being favored. Something that worried critics of the agency is that the $8.5 million budget of the states utility consumer advocate, the Ohio Consumers Counsel, was cut by more than half. Paul Duffy, who retired as the commissions legal director last month after serving since 1975, said the negotiated deals that the agency often uses to expedite the approval of rate increases benefit the people who sign them, which could shift costs to those who do not participate. When the agency holds meetings, members of the public rarely show up, the newspaper reported.

grant would be given to the city based on the number of customers going into the program and its about $10 per meter. That money would go into the citys general fund to boost revenue. Because of that benefit and the higher cost savings to the customer at 11 percent, I am recommending that council accept this proposal. I am working on drafting a plan that would need to be approved by PUCO for the city to become an aggregator and then council would need to adopt the agreement, he said. Public hearings will be held at 6:30 p.m. today at the municipal building and on Dec. 27 to get residential input on the matter. AEP Ohio Representative Shelly Clark said PUCO modified the companys rate increase proposal and the modified version is under review by the company. A company press release indicates that starting Jan. 1, 2012, a typical Ohio Power customer using 1,000 kWh per month will pay $115.65 per month, an increase in their total electric bill of $4.41.

by staff. The good news is that nonprofits are starting to look ahead and think about ways to adjust to the new environment were in, she said. Because most nonprofits spend money the year after they earn it, or budget according to a three-year average, even when the economy does pick up, the recovery for charities will take longer, she said. Osili said it could take donors as many as four years to return to pre-recession giving levels, in part because it takes a while for individuals and corporations to regain confidence in their own financial stability. Jon Fine, CEO of the United Way of King County, Wash., said the nonprofit groups his organization supports through its fundraising have had at least three down years because of the recession. In fiscal 2011, the Seattlebased United Way experienced its first up year since fiscal 2007, with donations of $119 million compared to $100 million in fiscal 2010. Thats still below the $124 million total for 2007. I think its less about a clear indication that the econ-

Bill Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has made several high-profile visits to North Korea. The death comes at a sensitive time for North Korea as it prepares for next years 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung. The preparations include massive construction projects throughout the city as part of Kim Jong Ils unfulfilled promise to bring prosperity to his people. Seoul and Washington will worry that Kim Jong Un may feel it necessary in the future to precipitate a crisis to prove his mettle to other senior leaders, according to Bruce Klingner, an Asia analyst at The Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington. North Korea conducted at least one short-range missile test today, a South Korean official said. But South Koreas military sees the firing as part of a scheduled routine drill,

instead of a provocation, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of a policy that bans commenting on intelligence matters. North Korea conducted two nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 and is thought to have enough plutonium for at least a half-dozen weapons. But experts doubt that the North has mastered the miniaturization technology to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile. In Seoul, parliamentary official Lee Kyu-yun said he was thinking of stocking up food in case of soaring military tensions. Lee Byung-joon, 27, feared South Korea might have to fight a war against the North if high-ranking officials challenge the inexperienced Kim Jong Un and Pyongyang becomes unstable. I definitely think the chance of war breaking out between the South and the North is higher now than before, Lee said. Some analysts, however,

said Kims death was unlikely to plunge the country into chaos because it already was preparing for a transition. Kim Jong Il indicated a year ago that Kim Jong Un would be his successor, putting him in high-ranking posts. There wont be any emergencies in the North at least in the next few months, said Baek Seung-joo of the state-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses in South Korea. Another analyst said an internal power struggle could break out between Kim Jong Un and his aunts husband, Jang Song Thaek, who was elevated in the government last year and likely will be given a caretaker role in the new administration Tension will arise between Jang and Kim Jong Un, because Kim will have no choice but to share some power with Jang, said Ryoo Kihl-jae, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies, which is in South Korea.

By LARRY MARGASAK Associated Press WASHINGTON Congressional investigators said today that four House members received VIP discounted loans from the former Countrywide Financial Corp., the lender whose subprime mortgages was largely responsible for the nations foreclosure crisis. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, declined to name the four but wrote the House Ethics Committee that it should investigate the lawmakers. Issa, in a letter dated Friday and released today, said there could be additional lawmakers who received discounted loans. The most favored customers of Countrywide were known as Friends of Angelo, who were given discounts in a VIP section under control of the companys CEO Angelo Mozilo. However, Issa said his investigators discovered that other sections of Countrywide also processed VIP loans to public officials and others in position to help the company. Countrywide was taken over by Bank of America, By RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press which has given Issas committee 100,000 documents in response to subpoenas. Issas letter to ethics Chairman Jo Bonner of Alabama and ranking Democrat Linda Sanchez of California said: Testimony and documents show that Countrywide used the VIP program to build relationships with government officials and others positioned to advance Countrywides business interests. Between January 1996 and June 2008, Countrywides VIP unit gave discounted loans to employees of the federal government, including the U.S. Congress. He added, My staff is also aware of the possibility that loans with VIP benefits were conferred to other members and serviced by a separate loan processing branch. The ethics committee determines whether House members violated standards of conduct, including a virtual ban on gifts. The committee also can refer cases to the Justice Department for a criminal investigation. It was previously revealed that Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D. and Chris Dodd, D-Conn., while still a senator, had received VIP loans from Countrywide. Both said they

IT WAS NEWS THEN

US limits intel value of drones

WASHINGTON (AP) A U.S. official says Iran will find it hard to exploit data and technology aboard the captured CIA stealth drone because of measures taken to limit the intelligence value of drones operating over hostile territory. The official also said Saturday that despite Irans latest claims to have hijacked the RQ-170 Sentinel and brought it down near the eastern Iranian city of Kashmar, the U.S. is convinced that the drone malfunctioned. The Iranians had nothing to do with it, the official said. The official, who could speak about classified matters only on condition of anonymity, did not provide details. But independent experts say the data and communications of the unmanned aircraft are heavily encrypted, making it difficult for Iran to harvest much intelligence from them. U.S. officials previously have said the drones have no selfdestruct mechanism. The RQ-170 was nicknamed the Beast of Kandahar because it was first spotted over Afghanistan. It was used to conduct surveillance of Osama bin Ladens Pakistani compound before he was killed in a U.S. raid. The Christian Science Monitor on Thursday quoted an unidentified Iranian engineer as saying that Tehran seized control of the drone by exploiting a key vulnerability in its navigation system, its reliance on GPS technology to guide it home when it loses contact with U.S. controllers. The engineer said Irans electronic warfare specialists jammed the RQ-170s satellite communications link and tricked its autopilot into thinking that it was landing at its base in Afghanistan when it touched down in Iran. The GPS navigation is the weakest point, the engineer was quoted as saying. By putting noise on the communications, you force the bird into autopilot. WASHINGTON The Republicans final debate preceding the Iowa caucuses is suddenly uncompelling. There is nothing to do but write about Christopher Hitchens, whose death has made the world immeasurably less interesting. A regular reader of this column shot me an email Friday morning: Your thoughts about Hitchens? Was he a great writer? The question makes me weep with pity for the fellow who has not known Hitchens writing. My appetite for his prose was and remains as insatiable as Hitchens own was for expression. Few are the writers whose work I actively seek and devour, but he was top of the list. Not surprisingly, others include the several close friends who have written tributes to him, none more beautifully than The Other Christopher (Buckley). Like so many who have found themselves staring at keyboards the morning after, I feel the need to say something and yet also feel presumptuous. I felt similarly presumptuous a year and a half ago when I wrote Hitchens to say how sorry I was that he was sick. Characteristically, he was appreciative and responded accordingly. To say I was a friend of Hitchens would be an exag-

Iowa GOP worried by hacker threat to caucus vote

IOWA CITY, Iowa With two weeks remaining before Iowa kicks off the 2012 campaign with its first-in-thenation presidential caucuses, the state Republican Party is taking steps to secure its electronic vote collection system after receiving a mysterious threat to its computers. A video claiming to be from a collective of computer hackers has jolted party officials with a worst-case scenario: an Iowa caucus marred by hackers who successfully corrupt the database used to gather vote totals and crash the website used to inform the public about results that can shape the campaign for the White House. While confident in the safeguards protecting the vote count itself, and aware the video may be a hoax, members of the state Republican Partys central committee told The Associated Press they are taking the threat seriously and have authorized additional security measures to ensure hackers are unable to delay the release of results. The party fears such a delay could disrupt the traditional influence of the Iowa caucuses. Candidates who do well tend to gain momentum in the presidential race, while those finishing at the back of the pack may drop out. With the eyes of the media on the state, the last thing we want to do is have a situation where there is trouble with the reporting system. We dont want that to be the story, said Wes Enos, a member of the central committee and the political director for Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmanns campaign in Iowa. The two-minute video features a computer-generated voice denouncing what it calls a corrupt political system that favors corporations and calls on supporters to peacefully shut down the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses. The video claims to be from Anonymous, a loosely organized group of hackers that has claimed credit for attacks on targets ranging from the Peruvian government to Paypal. A former activist for Occupy Des Moines, Clarke Davidson, has acknowledged posting the video on YouTube. He said he did so after masked men left it outside his tent near the state Capitol on Nov. 3. Investigators arent sure whether the video is authen-

did not know they were getting unique deals and Dodd maintained he received no preferential treatment. Others named as recipients of the VIP program were James Johnson, former head of Fannie Mae who later stepped down as an adviser to Barack Obamas first presidential campaign, and Franklin Raines, who also headed Fannie Mae. Still other friends included retired athletes, a judge, a congressional aide and a newspaper executive. The Senates ethics committee looked at the Dodd and Conrad cases and cleared them of wrongdoing, but warned that they should have exercised better judgment. The committee said the senators should have questioned why they were in the VIP program, because it should have raised red flags. The Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2010 said that Mozilo would pay a $22.5 million penalty to settle charges that he and two other former Countrywide executives misled investors as the subprime mortgage crisis began. Mozilo also was banned from ever again serving as an officer or director of a publicly traded company. tic, and state authorities have not taken any actions since the call to peacefully shut down the caucuses does not amount to a crime, said Jim Saunders, director of the Iowa Intelligence Fusion Center at the states Department of Public Safety. Unlike most presidential primaries, which are conducted by state governments, Iowas caucuses are run by the political parties. On Jan. 3, voters will gather in 1,784 precincts in Iowas 99 counties to declare their preference for a candidate. Those results are then reported to the state party, where they are tabulated electronically and reported to the public on a website. Ryan Gough, the state GOP official in charge of coordinating the caucuses, said the party was taking steps to protect its election data, but declined to comment on specifics so as not to give away the game plan to hackers. The GOP is also encouraging the party activists who run the precinct votes to use paper ballots instead of a show of hands, which has been the practice in some areas. The ballots would provide a backup in the event of any later confusion about the results.

There was just one Hitch

Moderately confused

Point of View
geration, though I did enjoy the pleasure of his company on several occasions. But one neednt have known a writer to mourn his passing or to feel profound sadness about all the silent days to come. No matter what the topic, I always wanted to know what Hitchens thought about it and, lucky for the world, he seemed always willing to end the suspense. Although I had read him for years and had in fact been influenced by him on wide-ranging subjects I didnt meet him until 2008 when we were both consigned to the leper colony reserved for any who questioned John McCains selection of a running mate. Precisely, we met in makeup at NBC. This is not the bonding experience of the foxhole, but the objectifying ritual of having ones countenance applied in the presence of anothers conveys a sort of detached intimacy. At last we meet, he said, as though this were the one thing missing from his other-

wise rich life. If one knew only Hitchens acerbic wit or his passionate attacks on such untouchables as Mother Teresa, not to mention God, then one might be surprised by his humility in personal encounters. Notwithstanding his deserved reputation for (often-rude) belligerence in the heat of intellectual debate, he was as polished as a silver service in the parlor. If he didnt kiss my hand upon parting, he left me with the impression that he had. He did most certainly invite me to a dinner at the home of David Frum and Danielle Crittenden, where a few of us benighted objectors to Sarah Palin feasted on Alaskan salmon, Baked Alaska and other ironic dishes indigenous to our own little Siberia. I confess to being raptly attentive to every Hitchens syllable, not least because of his remarkable lucidity well past the point where others had forgotten the first part of their own sentences. The last time I saw him, about a week before his diagnosis of esophageal cancer, was at a book party (at the same home) where a small group of us were smoking and talking by candlelight under a tree. It was one of those magical times when you want to freeze time and preserve

the moment. (Though I quit smoking 28 years ago, I still find smokers to be the most interesting people at a party and often join in solidarity.) I have no idea what we were discussing, but I do remember that Hitchens declined to share a pink, gold-filtered Nat Sherman he wanted to try, saying hed inhale the whole thing in a single drag. He did. Among the many things that made Hitchens unique was his precision of thought and expression. What made him rare were his courage and tenacity. He was fearless in the field and relentless in his defense of the defenseless with that mightiest of swords his pen. Judging from his final essays, he was also fearless in the face of death. Terrified that he might lose his ability to write and therefore his being? Well, that was something else. In his last article for Vanity Fair, Hitchens said he wanted to be fully present at death so that he might experience it actively rather than passively. How perfect that a man who was never passive about living would go un-gentle (but surely gentlemanly) into that dark night, and dare death to have the last word.

Lady Cardinals Kalida size too much for Jefferson edge past Jeffcats
By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

NEW BREMEN New Bremen outscored Jefferson 18-11 in the final period Saturday afternoon to seize a 49-44 non-conference girls basketball triumph at the home of the Lady Cardinals. The Lady Wildcats (4-2) minus injured freshman Brooke Culp led 33-31 to start the fourth period. Senior Kennedy Boggs Boggs (18 markers 3 treys and 5 steals) with a trifecta and sophomore Rileigh Stockwell (9 markers) with a deuce scored around a basket by the Cardinals Haley Moeller (13 markers, 9 caroms) for a 38-33 edge with 4:40 remaining. After a timeout by head coach Randy Eckert, the Cardinals (3-4) found a spark: two singles by Amber Paul at 4:01, a layin by Kyla Otting (14 counters, 4 assists) at 3:19, a 3-ball from the right wing by Meagan Brandt (4 dimes) at 2:16 to give them the lead for good and then 1-of-2 singles by Julie Brown; to seize a 41-38 lead at 1:43. The Wildcats tried to rally. Senior Courtney Lewis (3 assists) hit 1-of-3 free throws at 1:29. Brandt hit two at the line at 1:26 but senior Megan Gilden (9 counters, 11 boards) hit a 3-pointer the old-fashioned way at 1:11 to get the Red and White within 43-42. However, Lewis fouled out at 1:06 and Moeller hit the pair of freebies. Stockwell answered with a putback at 55.1 ticks but missed the potential tying free throw. The visitors got two offensive boards but missed both tries and Boggs then fouled out at the 12.2-second mark. Karli Jones hit 1-of-2 tosses for a 2-point span. Stockwell then missed a shot late and Moeller hit the 2nd-of-2 throws for a 3-point lead. A turnover and late layup by Moeller accounted for the final margin. New Bremen hit 9-of-12 at the line in the final 4:01 (11of-18 overall for 61.1%) to the 5-of-15 by the Wildcats (33.3%). Long-time Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman was pretty succinct in the assessment of his teams play. Were not doing the things we need to do to finish games; that has happened the last two games, he explained. Whether its missing free throws down the stretch or unforced turnovers where we are trying to make the tough pass instead of the solid one or whatever it is, were not doing it. The other team is. New Bremen coach Randy Eckert had the opposite reaction. When I called time there, all I told them was they were not playing to the level I know they can, he explained. The

girls just figured it out. We kept battling and it started to click; the girls just decided to play. It helps to hit free throws like that at crunch time. Boggs got going early, netting 10 of the first 12 Jefferson points in the opening period. In fact, her free throw (out of 3 attempts) with no time left on the clock made their lead 12-9. The game remained close in the second period, with one tie and two trades of the lead. The Wildcats had their largest margin of the half at 26-20 on a drive by Boggs at 1:01 but a 3-0 mini-run by the home team capped by a single from Brown (6 boards) with 16 ticks to go (Boggs third foul) made it a 26-23 halftime score in favor of the Jeffcats. After a second quarter w h e r e the teams combined for 12-of24 shooting, they reversed it in the t h i r d , totalling 7-of-26 Gilden from the f l o o r . Thus, neither team could make much headway as far as putting together a big run and when Gilden laid one in off a mid-court steal at 2:25, the score stood at 33-31, Wildcats. Jefferson ended up 18-of53 from the floor (3-of-14 from 3-land) for 34.0 percent. They amassed 32 caroms, 16 offensive, as senior Elizabeth Schosker had seven. They added 16 errors and 18 fouls and will host Van Wert Thursday. New Bremen canned 18-of-41 shots (2-of-7 beyond the arc) for 43.9 percent. They gathered 31 boards (9 offensive), 21 miscues and 13 fouls. They are off until Dec. 27 when they take on Fort Loramie. In the reserve ranks, Jefferson (4-2) grabbed a 28-23 triumph. Sophomore Gabrielle Pimpas dropped in 14 for the victors. Janelle Elking netted seven for the home team.

DELPHOS Kalidas veteran size was far too much for the Jefferson boys basketball team, winning the battle off the backboards by 10 and grabbing a 63-30 non-conference rout Saturday night at The Stage. Austin Horstman, a 6-4 1/2 junior, led the visiting Wildcats (3-1) with 16 markers and added nine boards, while senior Kevan Unverferth added 14 markers (6 assists) and 6-4 1/2 classmate Drew Stechschulte 11 (6 boards. They outrebounded the host Wildcats (1-5) 36-26 (10-9 offensive) as 6-5 senior center Ben Schroeder had 15. Jefferson senior guard Nick Dunlap was the top scorer for the home unit with 10, while sophomore Ross Thompson battled inside for eight markers and 10 caroms. Jefferson (1-5) coming off a tough 2-overtime loss the night before to Crestview had a brief lead at 2-0 just 33 ticks into the game on a basket by Thompson but Kalida took the lead for good (4:40) on a basket by Schroeder. The visitors built their lead the rest of the quarter, taking a 10-2 spread on a 3-ball from the right corner by senior Nathan Kortokrax at 1:41. The hosts shot 1-of-9 in the quarter (15-of-47 overall, 2-of14 from 3, for 31.9%). Kalida was slightly better at 3-of12 (23-of-49 overall, 6-of-17 downtown, for 46.9%). We had a tough loss the night before but that is no excuse to not play harder than we did the first half. We played harder the second half, Jefferson head man Marc Smith noted. That is something we will address this week in practice. You cant play against teams like Kalida without your best effort and expect to have a chance to win. Kalida mentor Dick Kortokrax figured his teams game plan was simple. When you look at the size mismatch, that is where we needed to go; inside. Not

exclusively but we wanted to go inside-out, he explained. I respect the job Coach Smith does; he had a tough weekend with their game the night before. The Jeffcats broke their scoreless string at 7:05 of the second canto on a single by senior Tony George but Kalida (3-1) kept up their attack. Unverferth shook loose for eight points (2 3s) and Horstman six in the period. The largest lead of the half came with 2.1 ticks left as Unverferth spin in the lane for a deuce for a 26-13 halftime spread. If the host Wildcats had any hope for a comeback in the third, they were quickly dashed. After Thompson scored quickly, Kalida ran off the next nine for a 35-15 margin. Their lead eventually reached 44-20 on a long deuce by senior Paul Utendorf. The Red and White replied with seven in a row five from Dunlap before two singles by Horstman with 1.4 ticks to go made it 46-27, Maroon and White. Kalidas lead in the finale was never below 19 and reached as high as 29. Kalidas kids are very

The LadyCats overcame an 18-10 deficit after one quarter to lead 36-33 at the end of three. Senior Alex Wurth was the sole LadyCat (4-2, 1-0 PCL) in twin digits with 10 and senior Nicole Kaufman added nine but all 10 players that were in the game scored at least a point. Morgan Schroeder netted 12 for the Lady Musketeers (1-5, 0-2 PCL) and Macy Schroeder added 10 (6 boards).

skilled and highly disciplined. They and the community love basketball and live it, Smith added. They are able to take what they see in the scouting report and apply it. If they know a certain player goes left but struggles going right, they will force that player to go right. Kalida finished 11-of-13 from the line (84.6%) versus 5-of-14 for the hosts (35.7%). Both teams took excellent care of the ball with only five turnovers each. Kalida had 13 fouls to 15 for the Jeffcats. The kids decided to play defense the way they are supposed to. Thats the place to start for us, Kortorkax added. Both teams return to action Friday: Jefferson finishing off its season-opening 7-game home stretch versus Ottoville and Kalida entertaining Lincolnview. In junior varsity action, Jefferson (2-4) grabbed a 33-28 victory as sophomore Tyler Mox led the way with 12. Freshman Devin Kortokrax countered with 10 for Kalida (1-3).

rally gave the red, white and blue a 1-point victory. The two squads hooked up again Saturday night in Van Wert County with a very similar script. After the two teams seemingly traded runs throughout the night, it was the Raiders who scored the games final four points to escape with a 45-42 victory over the Lancers. A pair of free throws by Nicholas Leeth gave Lincolnview a 42-41 lead with 1:01 left but Lincolnview wouldnt score again. Wayne Trace quickly answered with a Dalton Sinn basket and added two Nick McClain foul shots to seal its

second victory of the season. The kids really played hard and played with a lot of effort tonight, stated Raider head coach Jim Linder. We had a little lapse there in the second quarter but overall I was very pleased with the effort. Its a good win for us on the road and now we need to build on this. Sinn and freshman Corbin Linder led the Raiders with 16 points and 12 points, respectively, with Sinn also grabbing seven boards and picked up three steals. Wayne Trace also got big plays from McClain, who finished with only four points but was a force defensively with five rebounds and five blocked shots.

OTTOVILLE The Big Green boys basketball team hosted the Spencerville Bearcats Saturday night at L.W. Heckman Gymnasium.

Goecke. The Big Green ended the second quarter on a 6-0 run to come within eight at the break, 29-21, with buckets from Luke Schimmoeller and Brandt Landin. The Bearcats came out with intensity the third quarter with back-to-back 3-pointers from Eli Bowers and Dan Binkley. Spencerville increased its lead to 45-30 going into the final quarter of action. T h e Bearcats never looked back as they kept the Big Green out of L. Schimmoeller reach in the fourth quarter to pick up their second win of the season. We have been struggling a little bit and we just wanted to make sure we came out tonight and defended as hard as we could and execute very well, Spencerville coach Kevin Sensabaugh said. Our execution could have been better but some guys stepped it up and thats what we needed. Bowers had a team-high 22 points (4 treys) for the Bearcats. Binkley finished with 11 points, including three triples, and Goecke had 10 points and seven rebounds. I am thrilled with the kids

we have in this program and they are working extremely hard, Ottoville coach Todd Turnwald said. The kids want to be here and want to get better and we will as long as they are competing for 32 minutes each game. Schimmoeller led the Big Green offense with 19 points. He was 11-of-12 at the charity stripe. Kevin Schnipke added 13 points and 10 rebounds. Spencerville won the junior varsity game 32-20.

Earlier in the day on the same floor, the tables were turned as the Lady Green controlled the game from start to finish and pummeled invading Spencerville 75-42 in girls action. The Lady Green (8-0) had 10 of the 13 players dressed score at least two points, led by 19 from junior Abby Siefker and 10 from senior Lauren Kramer. Freshman Schylar Miller was high scorer for the Lady Bearcats with 17 and senior Courtney Miller added nine (3 treys). Ottoville took the JV contest 40-21. Spencerville visits New Its a case that we have to get better each night and we will strive to do that. Wayne Traces junior varsity moved to 2-3 on the season with a 45-32 win over the Lancers.

Everybody contributed tonight, Linder added. They all came up with key plays for us and that is what it will take. It was a total team win. Sloan Whitaker led the Lancers with 14 markers while Clayton Longstreth added 10 points. Whitaker and Longstreth also had five rebounds for the blue and gold. The two teams played to a 10-10 tie after one quarter before the Lancers used a rally in the second stanza to take the lead. With Wayne Trace holding a slim 16-15 advantage, Lincolnview closed the half with eight consecutive points to take a 23-16 lead at the break. We did a nice job of taking advantage of what they gave us and we hit some shots as well, commented Lancer head coach Rob Welch. The kids gave a great effort but Wayne Trace did, too. It was a hard-fought game by both teams. The Raiders answered with a 7-point run to start the third quarter. A 3-point play by Linder, two Sinn free throws and an Austin Speice basket knotted the game at 23-23. Lincolnview, though, would

respond as well. With the contest knotted at 25-25, a pair of Longstreth buckets helped the Lancers go back on top 30-25 with 3:06 left in the stanza. Wayne Trace then proceeded to close the quarter with six consecutive points, using a Linder trey and an old fashioned 3-point play from Sinn for a 31-30 lead entering the final period. The run there at the end of third quarter was big for us, Linder added. The kids responded there at a time to answer their run and that was huge for us to take that momentum into the fourth quarter. Baskets by Ryan Kortokrax and Sinn opened the advantage to 35-30 for Wayne Trace but the Lancers werent done. Buckets by Whitaker, Leeth, Whitaker again and two Longstreth free throws tied the contest at 38-38 with 2:36 remaining. Following a 3-point play by Sinn, the Lancers responded with a basket by Longstreth to back within 41-40 at the 1:29 mark before the final minutes heroics. We just have to learn and continue to work at improving our decisions, noted Welch.

Downey dips, Sherlock slips with $40M debut

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Sherlock Holmes is facing his worst enemy: declining crowds at theaters as this years domestic movie attendance dips to the lowest in 16 years. Robert Downey Jr.s sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows debuted on top with a $40 million weekend, off 36 percent from the first installments $62.3 million opening two years ago, according to studio estimates Sunday. The first movie opened over Christmas weekend, one of the busiest times for movie theaters. Distributor Warner Bros. predicts the Holmes sequel, which pits Downeys detective against archrival Professor Moriarty, will make up the lost ground over the holidays. The Holmes sequel opened in six overseas markets, including the detectives native Britain, and took in $14.7 million to bring its worldwide total to $54.7 million. After two previous weekends that were Hollywoods worst of the year, overall business was down again, about 12 percent lower than the same weekend in 2010 as Hollywood struggles to interest audiences in its big year-end releases. Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com, estimated that the number of tickets sold domestically in 2011 will come in below 1.3 billion. That would be the lowest attendance since 1995, when admissions totaled 1.26 billion. Domestic attendance in modern times peaked at 1.6 billion in 2002 and has been on a generally decline since. 0th Century Fox family sequel Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked did even worse than Holmes. Chipwrecked opened at No. 2 with $23.5 million, about half the business the first two Chipmunks movies did on their debut weekends. The studio had expected a bigger debut, but with schools shutting down for the holidays, Fox executives hope business will pick up. Chipwrecked added $14.5 million in 38 overseas markets, bringing its worldwide total to $38 million. Tom Cruise and Paramount had a spot of good news. Their action sequel Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol got off to a healthy start at No. 3 with a $13 million weekend playing exclusively at hugescreen IMAX theaters and some other large-format cinemas. Ghost Protocol goes into general release Wednesday. The movie already has opened in 36 overseas markets, where it pulled in $68.2 million, putting its global haul at more than $80 million. With critics praising the movies spectacular action sequences, Ghost Protocol may restore the hitmaker sta-

tus of Cruise, whose audience became disenchanted with odd antics in the stars personal life five or six years ago. Paramounts comic drama Young Adult, starring Charlize Theron, had a weak expansion into wider release, finishing at No. 7 with $3.7 million. The film had opened with big numbers a week earlier in a handful of theaters. At the beginning of 2011, Hollywoods summer and fall lineup looked so strong that studio executives were predicting the industry would break the domestic box-office record of $10.6 billion set in 2009, a mark that was nearly reached again in 2010. But with less than two weeks left and revenues lagging 4 percent behind last years, that record is out of reach. The picture is even bleaker factoring in this years higher ticket prices, which mean attendance is running 5 percent below last years. Hollywood still can go out with a bang. Along with the new Mission: Impossible, the holidays bring two more big thrillers Steven Spielbergs The Adventures of Tintin and David Finchers The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo along with Spielbergs historical epic War Horse and Cameron Crowe and Matt Damons family-friendly comic drama We Bought a Zoo. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today. 1. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, $40 million ($14.7 million international). 2. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, $23.5 million ($14.5 million international). 3. Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, $13 million ($68.2 million international). 4. New Years Eve, $7.4 million. 5. The Sitter, $4.4 million. 6. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, $4.3 million. 7. Young Adult, $3.7 million. 8. Hugo, $3.63 million. 9. Arthur Christmas, $3.6 million ($9.7 million international). 10. The Muppets, $3.5 million ($600,000 international).

This was his second deployment to Iraq. We should have done this a long time ago, she said, referring to the troop withdrawal. We had no business going over there at all and losing soldiers like that. All U.S. troops are to be out of Iraq by Dec. 31, and hundreds of soldiers have been arriving at military installations in recent weeks because of the troop withdrawal. Staff Sgt. Elama Palemene held his two young daughters and kissed his wife early Sunday after returning to Fort Hood with about 300 other soldiers. They arrived about 3 a.m. to a cheering, flagwaving crowd of teary wives and bundled-up youngsters on a field at the Texas Army post with temperatures in the high 40s. My husband wanted to have (our children) stay behind, but it was a must to have them here, said his wife, Annaden Palemene, who held a large homemade sign that read Sgt. Palemene, Your Tour Stops Here. The soldiers from the 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division said they were glad to be home before the holidays and relieved to be out of Iraq. This was my fourth deployment to Iraq ... so it feels great to be home, said Staff Sgt. James Cantrell, who had just hugged his wife, Brenda, and 7-year-old daughter Janelle. Several soldiers said they were happy upon hearing the news that the last U.S. combat troops left Iraq at daybreak Sunday. That convoys exit marked the end of a bitterly divisive war that raged for nearly nine years and left Iraq shattered, with troubling questions lingering over whether the Arab nation will remain a steadfast U.S. ally. I think its good were out of Iraq. I think theyre ready the government and the military, said Spc. Keenan McCoy, holding his 13-month-old daughter Kyrie close to him and hugging his wife Rachel. Fort Hood officials later said reporters were banned from asking questions about how soldiers feel about leaving Iraq or the war.

refused to testify. The tone changed late in the day, though, when the government called Shaver to testify about his probe of Mannings workstation. He told the hearing that in addition to the ample State Department cables, he found several versions of a deadly 2007 helicopter attack video and secret assessments of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, terrorist detainees. He also said he discovered evidence that someone had used the computer to streamline the downloading of cables with the apparent aim of moving them out. All the material was linked to the username bradley. manning or Mannings user profile, Shaver said. On the second computer used by the private, he said, he found evidence that someone had conducted more than 100 searches using the keywords WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, the organizations leader. Those terms seemed out of place on a computer that was used for analyzing intelli-

gence about Iraq, said Shaver The hearing, which could unfold for days more, will determine whether Manning will be court-martialed on 22 charges, including aiding the enemy. The 24-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., could face life in prison if convicted. In camouflaged Army fatigues and dark rimmedglasses, he sat mostly forward for the third straight day, appearing calm, listening intently to the witnesses and occasionally writing on paper in front of him. He didnt speak Sunday except for the few occasions he leaned over to consult with his civilian defense attorney, David Coombs, each time first switching off the defense table microphone for privacy. Mannings lawyers have neither acknowledged nor denied that the intelligence analyst was behind the leaks. Instead, they have sought to build on their case that his supervisors on the 2nd Brigade Combat Team should have seen enough red flags to suspend or revoke his access

to secret information months before the leaks. Manning is accused of illegally leaking a trove of secret information that surfaced on WikiLeaks, a breach that rattled U.S. foreign relations and, according to the government, imperiled valuable military and diplomatic sources. Defense attorneys argue the leaked material did little or no damage to U.S. interests. Capt. Casey Fulton, an Army intelligence officer, testified Sunday it was impossible to supervise analysts such as Manning constantly. You have to trust that theyll safeguard the material the way that theyve been taught, she said. The defense has emphasized what it regards as a failure by Mannings closest supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Paul Adkins, to suspend the intelligence analysts security clearance despite his outbursts. Adkins refused to testify Sunday, invoking his right against self-incrimination, when summoned by the government.

During this holiday season and every day of the year, we wish you all the best.

ITS TIME TO SHOW OFF YOUR PICTURES!

FORT HOOD, Texas After having no contact with her soldier husband for a week, Jeannette Juroff was relieved to hear his voice when the phone rang at 3 a.m. Sunday. She could hear a bit of celebrating in the background since he was part of the last convoy of U.S. troops to leave Iraq as the nearly nine-year war came to an end. I had been worried, but then he called and said, Hi honey. Im here and Im safe, Juroff said Sunday afternoon. Sgt. 1st Class Nate Juroff, based at Fort Hood, was among the very last U.S. combat soldiers to roll out of Iraq across the border into neighboring Kuwait at daybreak Sunday. The 500 soldiers left in a convoy of heavily armored personnel carriers, slipping out under cover of darkness and strict secrecy to prevent any final attacks. Jeannette Juroff, whos an

Staff Sgt. Palemene said he hopes the country remembers that U.S. troops are still fighting elsewhere in the world. It feels good to be home safe and sound, but we should remember that there are still soldiers in Afghanistan, he said. The war in Iraq cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The quiet weekend withdrawal was a stark contrast to the start of the war, which began with a predawn airstrike in Baghdad on March 20, 2003, before U.S. and allied ground forces then stormed from Kuwait across the deserts of southern Iraq toward that capital. In late 2003, soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division, then based at Fort Hood, captured Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and he was executed in 2006. That division and its headquarters moved to Fort Carson, Colo., in 2009. Fort Hood has about 46,500 active-duty soldiers. Since 2003, about a third of Fort Hoods soldiers have been deployed, and more than 565 were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to officials at the Army post.

Philippine flood victims buried

By BULLIT MARQUEZ Associated Press ILIGAN, Philippines With funeral parlors overwhelmed, authorities in a floodstricken southern Philippine city today organized the first mass burial of some of nearly 700 people who were swept to their deaths in one of worst calamities to strike the region in decades. For the first time in a day, the staggering death toll from Friday nights disaster, spawned by a tropical storm, remained little changed but the number of missing varied widely. Official figures put the missing at 82, while the Philippine Red Cross estimated 800. The disparity underscores the difficulty in accounting for people who could be buried in the mud and debris littering much of the area or could be alive but lost in crowded evacuation centers or elsewhere. We lost count of how many are missing, said Benito Ramos, head of the governments Office of Civil Defense. In Iligan, a coastal industrial hub of 330,000 people, Mayor Lawrence Cruz said the citys half a dozen parlors were full to capacity and no longer accepting bodies. The first burial of 50 or so unclaimed bodies was to take place later today in individual tombs at the city cemetery, he said. For public health purposes, were doing this. The bodies are decomposing and there is no place where we can place them, not in an enclosed building, not in a gymnasium, Cruz told The Associated Press. He said many of the Iligan dead 279 by official count are just piled and laid outside the morgues, which ran out of formaldehyde for embalming and coffins. Were using plastic bags, whatever is available, Cruz said. In nearby Cagayan de Oro city, the situation was more chaotic and people were resisting mass burials, instead demanding that bodies be interned until relatives can claim them. About 340 died in Cagayan de Oro, most of them women and children and many of whom lived along river banks. Flood waters came gushing after 12 hours of pounding rain, catching most of them in their sleep. Residents told local officials that plans for a mass burial was un-Christian, said Cagayan de Oro city administrator Griscelda Joson. Mayor Vicente Emano called a meeting later today to discuss the problem. Funeral

Ex-2nd Mile board members: We needed to know

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM, BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE and MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press been given to board members, they would have asked the follow-up question: Why? You dont know? Who knows? Who can we talk to? Has this been reported to the police? Lunsford said. I guarantee you there would have been a competition among all those people to be the first to ask the question, Why is he not allowed on campus? Lunsford and four other former board members at The Second Mile point the finger at Jack Raykovitz, a close friend of Sanduskys who ran the charity until resigning following the former coachs Nov. 5 arrest. A former prosecutor, Lunsford said Raykovitz had an obligation to tell the board. There are a number of people around that table who have been involved with childrens charities for years and theres a very good chance that if

parlors have asked authorities to do something about the unclaimed bodies because of the stench and complaints from neighbors, she said. More bodies continue to be found. While city officials were meeting Sunday, more than 40 bodies were seen floating off an island but the coast guard could not recover them, Joson said. In a grim sign of desperation, a funeral parlor dumped about 30 badly decomposed bodies in a city garbage dump over the weekend, sparking protests from distraught villagers who were looking for the missing loved ones. Ramos, the head of the agency that is spearheading the recovery and relief operations, attributed the high casualties partly to the complacency of people because they are not in the usual path of storms despite warnings by officials that one was approaching. Weve had flooding before but nothing like this, Cruz, the Iligan mayor said, recalling floods in the early 1950s. We have a good drainage system but it as simply overwhelmed. The rainfall fell heavily on the mountains and this flowed down to two of our river systems and they overflowed and swept away houses and covered the highway and residential areas.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Former board members of Jerry Sanduskys charity say its CEO never told them about a 2002 shower incident that is the focus of child sexual abuse charges against the retired Penn State assistant coach. If they knew Sandusky had been banned from bringing kids on campus, they say they could have taken steps to better protect children a decade ago. Not one thing was said to us, said Bradley P. Lunsford, a Centre County judge who served on the Second Mile board between 2001 and 2005. Not a damn thing. If more information had

given accurate information about what the allegation was, theres a lot of people around that table who could have done something about it. One of Raykovitzs vice presidents said Raykovitz also shared little information with his managers about a 2008 sexual abuse complaint that led to the current criminal charges against Sandusky. And the head of Clinton Countys child welfare agency, where the 2008 investigation began, said he told Raykovitzs wife in November 2008 that Sandusky had been spoken to about getting too close to children involved with the charity. Gerald Rosamilia said Raykovitzs wife, Katherine Genovese, who helped run The Second Mile, did not define what was meant by too close or give a timeframe.

The Herald 1B

CNN star Piers Morgan faces questions over past

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER The Associated Press LONDON CNN star Piers Morgan may be known to Americans as an empathetic English interviewer, but its his past at the heart of Britains troubled tabloid newspaper world that is being trotted out before the cameras this week. The often colorful and sometimes controversial story of Morgans rise to the top will be revisited Tuesday when the former editor appears by videolink at a judge-led inquiry into the ethics and practices of Britains scandal-tarred press. His appearance has been widely anticipated not least because of the 46-year-olds irreverent flippancy. So heartwarming that everyone in U.K.s missing me so much they want me to come home, he joked earlier this year amid demands he return to give evidence to the inquiry, set up by Prime Minister David Cameron following the disclosure that the now-defunct News of the World tabloid had for years illegally eavesdropped on the voice mail messages of public figures. Actors Hugh Grant and Sienna Miller, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and singer Charlotte Church are among those who have given evidence about press abuse, while executives and lawyers for Murdochs News Corp. have defended the newspaper. Morgan shot to national prominence when he was picked by Murdoch to run the News of the World at age 28. Under his tenure the tabloid exposed actor Hugh Grants liaison with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown and Princess Dianas late-night phone calls to married art dealer Oliver Hoare. It wasnt all down to good reporting: Morgan has acknowledged he kept his edge in part through bribes paid to informants on rival titles. In 1995 Morgan left the News of the World for the Daily Mirror. His time there was marked by scoops and controversy, but his editorship ended in 2004 when he ran a faked photograph purporting to show a British soldier urinating on an Iraqi detainee. Morgan won a second life as a TV personality, eventually signing on as a judge of Americas Got Talent and taking Larry Kings old spot at CNN. So far, hes prospered. Ratings for Piers Morgan Tonight have been up 9 percent on last years figures good if not spectacular and he appears to be reaching a younger audience. CNN spokeswoman Barbara Levin said the network was extremely pleased with how Morgans program was performing and the company has so far stood by its star even as the scandal over widespread phone hacking at the News of the World threatens to draw him in. Skeletons have already begun peeking out of the closet. Critics have been picking through old interviews and his autobiography The Insider, in which Morgan makes clear he knew of phone hacking as long ago as 2001.

Interviewed by supermodel Naomi Campbell for GQ magazine before the scandal over the practice boiled over, Morgan said he couldnt get too upset over hacking because loads of newspaper journalists were doing it. In an earlier interview for BBC radio unearthed by one of his critics, Morgan appeared to go further, saying it was difficult to condemn private eyes hired to hack into peoples phones because obviously you were running the results of their work. The you in his statement could be interpreted in different ways. Morgan insists he wasnt talking about himself but instead making a general observation about tabloid newspaper reporters and private investigators.

The Herald B3

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2011 In the next year, refrain from limiting your hopes and expectations. If youre prepared to work hard and do what needs to be done, your resolve and commitment will be enough to make it happen. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Just because youre at a boisterous event doesnt mean you cant command the type of attention that youd like to receive. Youll find that whispering will have more impact than shouting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If there is someone you know who could use a little help, you should yield to your charitable inclinations and pitch in. Your good deed will produce a huge and unexpected harvest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Trust your instincts regarding the outcome of events, because theyre likely to be more accurate than your common sense. This time, things could be as good as you hope. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Speak up if you have something to say when a self-appointed person is fouling up the works. Youre the one wholl know how to handle it without making that individual look bad. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Discovering that others are talking about you is no cause for alarm, because what they are saying would actually flatter you. Dont jump to conclusions and be forced to make an apology later. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Dont hesitate to let it be known that you must study any proposal brought to you, especially if a contract is involved. Take all the time you need to read in between the lines. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are some very strong indications that someone new could enter your life, if not today, than very soon. Itll be a person youll like very much and be thrilled to know. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Getting involved in something creative in which youll be using your hands as well as your mind will bring you much gratification. Dont hesitate to take on something new and different. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont be bashful about complimenting someone whom youve just met in front of others, and do let this person know how much you enjoy his or her company. She or he will be flattered. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Put your artistic talents to work during your spare time and beautify your surroundings instead of sitting around on the couch. The results will make you feel great. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dont turn down any invitation that gives you a chance to mix and meet with new, fun people. The more contacts you make, the more chances youll have of meeting a truly nice friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although they may come in increments, youll have excellent chances for producing long-range benefits for yourself and others, starting now. Dont botch things up. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2011 Take advantage of all opportunities to mingle with new groups in the coming solar cycle. Youre in a brief period in which the people you meet will awaken fresh interests, as well as become valuable friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You have an ability to get others to be interested in things you find intriguing, thereby getting them to willingly help you. Try to make sure that everyone benefits equally. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When involved with people who espouse progressive ideas, get involved in conversations where you can learn what they know. One individual may clue you in to something valuable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont be fearful of changing conditions, even those that are exceptionally challenging. Youll perform far better if the heat is turned up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -As long as you know you are being honest with yourself, place your faith in your own evaluations instead of in the judgment of others. Youll know whats best for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take control of your own destiny instead of letting life manipulate you. If you want something badly enough, achieve it on your own instead of waiting for others to give it to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If another has far better ideas than anything youve got, let him or her take the lead while you play the supporting role. Collectively, youll have a strong team. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is a better than usual day for doing all kinds of personal jobs that dont require any outside help. Anything you can take on yourself will save you some big bucks. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Seek out some activities that are not of a sedentary nature during your free time. Its OK to need a break from everyday chores, but you still need to use your mind, body and soul in order to feel good. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Strike while life is going your way, but dont let things drag on too long, especially matters of a financial nature. Things have a way of adding up and when money is involved, it aint pretty. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Although many people you know are deceived by outward appearances, you should be able to pierce any faade. Youll be able to see people and things for what they are and act accordingly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Give vent to your ambitious desires, especially if there are several material items you want to acquire. Success is likely in areas where you are strongly motivated to act. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Its far easier to perform well when you believe that you can transform your dreams into realities. Be optimistic and hopeful regarding the outcome of events.
