The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor [email protected] Winter Storm Hercules moved through the Midwest Wednesday and Thursday dropping as much as a foot of snow in places like Chicago. Lincolnview, Fort Jennings, Ottoville and other area schools were closed Thursday due to falling and drifting snow, giving students an extra day at the end of their Christmas vacation. While snow- and ice-covered roadways are always a concern this time of year, the National Weather Services prediction of subzero temperatures and wind chills between -30 and -35 for the early part of next week have school administrators taking notice as well. Delphos Public and Parochial schools are set to resume classes on Monday. We will be watching the temperature and wind chills pretty closely, Delphos City Schools Superintendent Kevin Wolfe said

Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869

Subzero wind chills could close schools

Thursday afternoon. With wind chills like that, we cant have students walking to school or standing outside waiting on a bus. Wolfe says he would never cancel on a prediction but he will be out Sunday evening checking the roadways and watching the thermometer and windchill reports. Ottoville Local Schools Superintendent Scott Mangas will also keep an eye on the temperature. We bus all our children but some in town would have to walk to the bus stop and wait, which could be a problem, he said. If the temperatures do get that cold, we would at least have a delay so the in-town children are not walking to the bus stops in the dark. None of the stops are more than two blocks from the children using them so the buses can wait a little bit for the kids to get there. Students living in the country are picked up at their homes so they can stay inside where its warm until the bus arrives. See CHILLS, page 10

Forecast
Mostly sunny today and clear tonight. Highs around 15 with wind chills -5 to -15 this morning. Lows 5 to 10 above. See page 2.

VAN WERT - The first measurable snowfall of 2014 brought between 4-5 inches to the area. The next storm system is following only days behind and expected to arrive between Saturday and Sunday evening. But with the second storm, snow will not be the biggest concern, as temperatures are expected to drop to a rare and dangerous low. It looks like the next system expected to move through our area will be a big snowmaker with projected areas across Northern Ohio expected to receive 8-12 inches of snow with lesser amounts falling around this main area but its still too early to project where the heavy snow will settle, noted Van Wert County Emergency Management Director Rick McCoy. Gusty winds are again expected to be an issue with the Saturday-Sunday system. McCoy believes the greatest concern will be the dangerously cold temperatures that are expected to follow this storm into the first half of next week. These snow events are normal for winter but cold temperatures of this magnitude are a very rare event, said McCoy. Frost bite can occur very quickly if outdoors for even a short period of time and people should avoid being outside. Temperatures barely exceeding zero are expected Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with a wind chill of negative 40 degrees. Today, a high of 14 degrees with a wind chill of negative 10 degrees is expected. Saturday will be the warmest day with a high of 31 degrees but with 30-mph winds. Sundays low of three degrees will be Mondays high with a wind chill of negative 30 degrees. Monday nights low of negative 15 degrees will finally bring the expected negative 40-degree wind chill into Northern Ohio. Tuesdays high of minus four degrees will bring a negative 35 degree wind chill. Tuesday night is expected to see a low of minus 11 degrees with the wind chill again falling to 40 below. These bitterly cold temperatures will be a result of an incredible amount of cold air coming down from Siberia. According to the National Weather Service of Northern Indiana, the last time Fort Wayne temperatures stayed below zero for the entire day, as they are expected to this coming week, was in January 1994; it has only occurred 10 times in its history. Animals will also need protection from this extreme cold just like we do, reminded McCoy. These temperatures also pose a threat to our furry friends, and McCoy encouraged people to bring their animals indoors or fortify their enclosures to keep out this extreme cold.

Hercules keeps city, residents moving snow

Strong winter storm pushes into Northeast

RODRIQUE NGOWI Associated Press BOSTON A storm expected to bring more than a foot of snow, stiff winds and punishing cold pushed into the Northeast on Thursday, extending Christmas break for some students while posing the first test for New Yorks new mayor and perhaps the last challenge for Bostons outgoing one. Some schools in New England and New York closed well ahead of the snow, while cities mobilized plows and salt spreaders, and state offices sent workers home early. Some major highways were ordered shut down overnight. U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,300 flights nationwide on Thursday in advance of the storm. The heavy weather began rolling in just a day after New York Mayor Bill de Blasio was sworn in to lead the nations largest city and a few days before Boston Mayor Thomas Menino ends 20 years in office. Menino announced a parking ban and said schools would be closed today in Boston, where up to 14 inches of snow was expected. Bostons airport said it would not handle any flights after 8:30 p.m. Thursday. What a New Years gift, to receive one last snowstorm as mayor, said Menino, whose successor takes office Monday. De Blasio, who as public advocate in 2010 criticized his predecessor Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his handling of a post-Christmas storm, said hundreds of plows and salt spreaders would be on the streets as soon as the snow started falling Thursday night. We have to get it right, no question about it, de Blasio said. We are focused like a laser on protecting this city and getting everyone ready. We have all hands on deck. Snow began falling overnight Wednesday in parts of New England and New York state but the brunt of the storm wasnt expected until late Thursday. Forecasters said temperatures would plummet, with some areas seeing highs just above zero and wind-chill readings of minus-10 and colder. The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Cape Cod, coastal areas north and south of Boston and part of Maine as well as New Yorks Long Island, where 8 to 10 inches of snow could fall and winds could gust to 45 mph. Were going to see a lot of snow and a lot of wind, forecaster Jason Tuell said. Were concerned about whiteout conditions possibly tonight with the blowing and drifting snow.

For The Record

Court grants law license to man in US illegally

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The California Supreme Court granted a law license Thursday to a man who has lived in the U.S. illegally for two decades, a ruling that advocates hope will open the door to millions of immigrants seeking to enter other professions such as medicine, nursing and accounting. The unanimous decision means Sergio Garcia, who attended law school and passed the state bar exam while working in a grocery store and on farms, can begin practicing law immediately. Its the latest in a string of legal and legislative victories for people who are in the country without permission. Other successes include the creation of a path to citizenship for many young people and the granting of drivers licenses in some states. This is a bright new day in California history and bodes well for the future, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles said in a statement. The court sided with state officials in the case, which pitted them against the White House over a 1996 federal law that bars people who are in the U.S. illegally from receiving professional licenses from government agencies or with the use of public money, unless state lawmakers vote otherwise. Bill Hing, a law professor at the University of San Francisco, said the court made clear the only reason it granted Garcias request is that California recently approved a law that specifically authorizes the state to give law licenses to immigrants who are here illegally. The new law, inspired by Garcias situation, took effect Wednesday. It was unclear how many people would qualify to practice law under the ruling and whether it would influence other

Late-season deer hunting opportunities available

Information submitted COLUMBUS As the calendar turns to 2014, Ohio hunters have another opportunity to pursue white-tailed deer when muzzleloader season opens Saturday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Deer-muzzleloader season runs through Tuesday. Muzzleloader season offers a great lateseason opportunity for hunters to bag a white-tailed deer and enjoy Ohios outdoors with friends and family, said Scott Zody, chief of the ODNR Division of Wildlife. Ohio is one of the top white-tailed deer destinations in the United States. Ohio ranks No. 7 nationally for the number of trophy deer as compiled by the Boone and Crockett Club through 2011. Hunters can pursue deer in Ohio with a muzzleloader or bow during this four-day season. Deer-archery season remains open through Feb. 2. Hunters checked 21,555 deer during the 2013 four-day muzzleloader season. Muzzleloaders are traditional hunting implements that emphasize accuracy and the value of the first shot. The popularity of muzzleloading rifles for hunting and target shooting continues to grow. Types of muzzleloaders include flintlock, percussion cap, in-line percussion and muzzleloading shotgun. Hunting time is extended 30 minutes for all deer-gun seasons. Hunters were already allowed to hunt deer 30 minutes before sunrise and this year; an additional 30 minutes has been added after sunset for gun seasons. Ohios small game, furbearer and waterfowl seasons are also open during the muzzleloader season. All hunters (except waterfowl hunters) must wear a visible solid hunter orange or camouflage hunter orange coat, jacket, vest or coveralls during the muzzleloader season. Hunting is the best and most effective management tool for maintaining Ohios healthy deer population. Hunters have harvested more than 167,000 deer so far in the 2013 hunting seasons.

About 17,000 apply online for Medicaid
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio officials say theyve received more than 17,000 applications from people seeking Medicaid health coverage through a new state website. The online enrollment option became available Dec. 9 to eligible low-income families, along with individuals who fell under an expansion of the federal-state program for the poor and disabled. It wasnt clear how many online applications came from those newly eligible under the Medicaid extension. A spokesman for the states Medicaid department says the website has been working smoothly. County caseworkers will have to finalize most of the initial online applications. But the state expects the enrollment process to be more automated in the coming months. Gov. John Kasichs administration moved forward with expanding Medicaid last fall. Coverage for the newly eligible took effect Wednesday.

Troopers report 3 New Years crash deaths

COLUMBUS (AP) State troopers say three people died on Ohio roads during the two-day New Years holiday period. Three fatal crashes Tuesday and Wednesday occurred in Adams and Fayette counties in southwest Ohio and in Holmes County near the Knox County line, about halfway between Columbus and Cleveland. The State Highway Patrol reports none of the people killed were wearing a seatbelt. A year ago, six people died after fatal crashes during the same two-day period. Preliminary data from the patrol shows Ohio had a record low number of traffic deaths in 2013. At least 966 crash fatalities are confirmed and 16 more deaths are under review. It would be Ohios first year with fewer than 1,000 traffic deaths since recordkeeping began in 1936. The previous low was 1,016 in 2011.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohios deer populations through a combination of regulatory and programmatic changes. The goal of Ohios Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists. This ensures that Ohios deer herd is maintained at a level that is both acceptable to most and biologically sound. Until recently, the populations in nearly all of Ohios counties were well above their target numbers. In the last few years, through increased harvests, dramatic strides have been made in many counties to bring those populations closer toward their goal. Once a countys deer population is near goal, harvest regulations are adjusted to maintain the population near that goal. Ohio deer bag limits are determined by county. The statewide bag limit is nine deer but a hunter cannot exceed an individual county bag limit. Hunters may harvest only one antlered deer, regardless of hunting method or season. More deer hunting information can be found in the 2013-14 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations and at wildohio.com. Hunters can share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online. Hunters who received a 2013-14 Ohio deer hunter effort and harvest survey are encouraged to complete it when the season ends. This survey is an important tool in Ohios deer-management program and information provided in the survey is vital for establishing hunting regulations. The survey is conducted with a random sampling of hunters to help eliminate bias. Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundations Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.

Popes come and popes go, with a new pope elected every few years or decades. Thus, when viewed through the lens of history, the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was a stunning event in the history of Roman Catholicism and, thus, all of Western Christianity. He was the first man to resign St. Peters throne in 600 years. Surely this was the most important religion-news story of 2013? But when seen through the lens of the mainstream press, the bookish Benedicts exit was a mere ripple in the news flow compared to the tsunami of headlines inspired by the rise of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires as the first Latin American pope. During his remarkable media honeymoon, Pope Francis has been humble and savvy, pragmatic and charismatic. Most of all, this pope has shown that he wants a mission-minded church that balances a defense of Catholic doctrine with a renewed commitment to offering mercy and pastoral care to the poor, the powerless and those of little or no faith. He wants to build a church defined by its actions, not just by words. To no ones surprise, the election of Pope Francis was selected as the years No. 1 religion story by the journalists in the Religion Newswriters Association (RNA), with the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI the No. 2 story. Pope Francis was also named Religion Newsmaker of the Year.

Pope Francis and the top stories of 2013

TERRY MATTINGLY

On Religion
But here is an interesting question to ponder: Based on his own words and actions, what 2013 event or trend would Pope Francis have selected as the most important? As the year came to a close, it appeared the popes attention was increasingly focused on the persecution of believers around the world, especially endangered Christian minorities in Egypt, Syria and throughout the Middle East. In a sermon on Nov. 28, he even urged his listeners to recall that when people are forbidden to worship, and faith is driven from public life, the end times could be near. What does this mean? It will be like the triumph of the prince of this world: the defeat of God. It seems that in that final moment of calamity, he will take possession of this world, that he will be the master of this world, he said, in remarks that drew little commentary from world media. When this happens, explained Pope

Francis, religion cannot be spoken of, it is something private, no? Publicly it is not spoken about. The religious signs are taken down. The laws that come from the worldly powers must be obeyed. You can do so many beautiful things except adore God. The rest of the RNA Top 10 list included these events and trends: 3. In another 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for gay marriage in California and voided the ban on federal benefits to same-sex couples. Supporters of gay marriage celebrated victories in other states as well, with Illinois and Hawaii becoming the 15th and 16th states to legalize same-sex marriage. 4. Legal battles continued in courts nationwide over the Health and Human Services mandate requiring most nonprofit ministries to offer health-insurance plans covering sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including morning-after pills. The U.S. Supreme Court accepted a case brought by Hobby Lobby, a for-profit corporation led by conservative Christians who claim that the mandate violates their freedom of religious expression. 5. Battles continued in the Middle East over the political role of Islam, with violence escalating in Syria and continuing in Egypt -- where the military ousted the freely elected Muslim Brotherhood-led government and vio-

lently cracked down on its Islamist supporters. 6. Nelson Mandela died at age 95 and was remembered as a prophet of nonviolence and reconciliation in South Africa. 7. Attacks on religious minorities continued around the world, including bloody attacks on Christians in Egypt, Syria, Pakistan and Kenya. 8. A Pew Research Center survey found that more than 1 in 5 American Jews now claim no ties to Judaism as a faith. The number of professing Jewish adults is now less than 2 percent of the U.S. population, although Jewish identity remains strong. 9. Leaders of the Boy Scouts of America voted to accept openly gay Scouts but not Scoutmasters. While most evangelicals opposed this change, Catholic and Mormon leaders were divided. 10. Muslims joined others in condemning the Boston Marathon bombing committed by two young Muslim men who attended colleges in the area.

In the Waiting Room ...

with Dr. Celeste Lopez
Its that time of year again, when we make our New Years resolutions. I dont usually make one because I have found that I am not very good at keeping them. This year, I decided that I probably should give it a try again. My resolution is to be more patient. My sons resolution is to think before he acts. This all stems from an incident that happened just after Christmas. My son got a remote control helicopter for Christmas and I got a new pair of shoes. One evening he decided it would be a good idea to go outside and fly his helicopter. I informed him that this wasnt a good idea because it was dark and he was going to lose it but he persisted. I went back to visiting with my family and I noticed he came back inside briefly but then went back outside again. I didnt pay much attention until he called my sister to come outside. I still didnt think too much about it until she hadnt come back in after 20 minutes or so. When they did come back in, she said the three words that all parents dread Dont be mad. OK, now this phrase conjures up all sorts of ideas in my head and none of them are good. Did he get the helicopter stuck somewhere? Thats why I told you not to go outside in the dark. Well, he did but he got it back out of the tree, my sister responded. Is it broken? No, it works fine. Now I am getting worried because I am still not sure what it is Im not supposed to be mad about. OK, what did you do? Finally my son spills the beans on what he did. Apparently, he was able to get his helicopter out of the tree by using one of my new shoes. But now my shoe was stuck in the tree and he couldnt get it out. My sister said she tried to help him with a ladder and a rake but it was too precarious and he almost fell out, so she made him get down. Given the choice between my son breaking his neck or losing a shoe, the choice seems relatively simple. However, you can see how my resolution this year is to be more patient. When you have a teenage boy in the house, patience is something

that can sometimes be in very short supply. Teenage boys are capable of coming up with the dumbest ideas at the same time they are asking to have more freedom. This is a frightening thought for parents. This is where his resolution comes inthink before you act. It doesnt seem like a lot to ask. But to a 14-yearold boy, it must seem like an impossible task. Getting him to try and think before he acts is a resolution well worth trying to keep. For me to have patience when he fails to keep his resolution is something that I will definitely need.

No. 9 Mizzou vs. familiar No. 13 Okla St in Cotton

Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas Missouri coach Gary Pinkel is constantly asked to compare the SEC to the Big 12. The ninth-ranked Tigers left the Big 12 two years ago, got off to a rocky start but won the SEC East Division this season in somewhat of a surprise. The question came up again with Missouri (11-2) representing the SEC in the Cotton Bowl tonight against No. 13 Oklahoma State (102), its former Big 12 and Big Eight rival. We didnt change anything, how we recruit or how we train our student-athletes other than trying to keep our players healthy in the grind you go in, replied Pinkel, whose team lost to No. 2 Auburn in the SEC championship game. The Big 12 has some real good football teams but the SEC just has more. That is the difference. Pinkel diplomatically pointed out Thursday that there are 14 teams in the SEC. The Big 12 has 10. Like it has in recent national championship games, the SEC has dominated the Cotton Bowl winning nine of the last 10 games in the Dallas area, all against Big 12 teams. The lone exception was Missouri, then in the Big 12, defeating Arkansas six years ago. Oklahoma State came close to an overall league title this season, falling short of a Big 12 championship and the Bowl Championship Series after losing 33-24 at home to Oklahoma in the regular season finale. Its been tough, said All-Big 12 cornerback Justin Gilbert, one of 28 Oklahoma State seniors. Were just grateful that we get another opportunity so we dont have to end on that. When they were Big 12 rivals, Oklahoma State won the last three games, including a 45-24 victory in Columbia in 2011 when Missouri quarterback James Franklin threw three interceptions. Oklahoma State is trying to win 11 games for the third time in four seasons. Before Mike Gundy became the coach in 2005, the Cowboys had never won 11 games. Missouri is going for its 12th win, which would match the school record set with its Cotton Bowl victory six years ago. This is already their fourth season with at least 10 wins in that span. 2007 was important for us, it was kind of us getting going, Pinkel said. We got a pretty good boost out of it, but its all about consistency. Here are five things to know when former Missouri and Oklahoma State meet in a bowl for the first time: FRANKLIN AND CHELF: James Franklins last two seasons at Mizzou have been plagued by injuries. Oklahoma State senior Clint Chelf lost his starting job for parts of this season. The senior quarterbacks wrap up their college careers starting the Cotton Bowl. Franklin missed most of four games during the middle of this season with a shoulder sprain. He has 8,481 total yards and 72 touchdowns in his 41 career games. Chelf started the opener for the Cowboys, but was replaced for several weeks before regaining his starting spot. He has thrown for 1,792 yards with 15 TDs and six interceptions this season. BIG 12 REUNIONS: Missouri and Texas A&M both left the Big 12 for the SEC after the 2011 season. Ironically, in both seasons since, theyve represented the SEC in the Cotton Bowl, which through this years game has matched teams from those two leagues. When a 4-team playoff replaces the BCS next season, the Cotton Bowl will become part of the rotation to host semifinal games. BEEN ON BOTH SIDES: When Gundy was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State from 2001-04 before becoming the Cowboys coach, the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator was Josh Henson, who stayed for Gundys first year as head coach before going to LSU and then Missouri in 2009. Gundy and Henson, who spent countless hours together preparing game plans, are on opposite sides in the Cotton Bowl. Henson wraps up his first season as the Tigers offensive coordinator, a promotion he got after last season. ONE TO BE BEST: Pinkel has 101 wins in his 13 seasons as Missouris coach, matching Don Faurot (193542, 46-56) for the most in school history. Pinkel, who went to Missouri after 10 seasons at Toledo, is 174-100-3 overall. Of the current 14 SEC coaches, none has been at their school longer than Pinkel. Mark Richt arrived at Georgia in 2001, the same year Pinkel joined the Tigers. FINISH AND START: Oklahoma State is playing the first of consecutive games at the Dallas Cowboys massive NFL stadium. After ending this season tonight in the Cotton Bowl, Oklahoma State will be back in the stadium to start their 2014 season against Florida State on Aug. 30 in the annual Labor Day weekend college game at the stadium.

Bengals have turned into model of NFL stability

By JOE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI Losing season after losing season, they were the same old Bungles. Changed quarterbacks every couple of years. Wasted high draft picks on lowertalented players. Signed players with a lot of baggage and wound up making excuses for their arrests. Fired the coach and started the cycle all over again. Nobody could argue when one television commentator referred to them as the NFLs Siberia, a place where nobody wanted to end up if they could avoid it. Look at them now. The Bengals (11-5) have become a model of stability in a league where everything seems to change overnight. Up the interstate in Cleveland, the last head coach got run out of town less than a year after he was hired. While coaches and quarterbacks come and go in other places, Cincinnati is an example of how patience can succeed. The AFC North champions have gotten to the playoffs for the third year in a row by keeping their head coach and coordinators and spending a lot of money to return the core of their team intact. To me, probably the most disheartening, saddest part about this level of football is too many CEOs and owners just toss coaches around like hotcakes and dont realize that the reason college football is what it is, offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth said. Systems determine success and longevity. Theres no coach on the face of this earth that can have a system in one year or two years. It takes years. And sometimes it takes resetting a system over a couple of years. Weve done that here and kind of cleaning house and saying all right, we had a couple guys here that we think we need to get rid of and let those (other) guys kind of become the leadership of this team. This time, theyve gotten it right. Lewis readily acknowledges that on any other NFL team, he would have been fired after going 0-4 in the playoffs and posting a losing record overall in 10 seasons. In Cincinnati, he got an 11th season and another chance to win a playoff game Sunday against San Diego (9-7). In the last three years, a lot has changed. All of the things that have been written all of the time and the shots taken, thats way in the past, Lewis said. Not entirely. The Bengals still havent won a playoff game since the 1990 season, tied for seventh-longest streak of futility in NFL history. Theyve emerged from their years of languishing as a down-and-out franchise by reaching the playoffs three years in a row for the first time in their history. The turning point came after a 4-12 finish in 2008. Things were so bad that franchise quarterback Carson Palmer demanded a trade, insisting he would retire rather than stay in Cincinnati. Lewis contract was up and he wasnt sure if hed be returning, either. After several days of discussions with owner Mike Brown, he got a new deal with some new parameters. Brown changed some of his teams operating philosophies. He stopped drafting and signing troubled players in hopes he could redeem them. Rather than letting star players leave when they were in line for big contracts, they began keeping them. See BENGALS, page 7

Report: Browns to interview Arizonas Todd Bowles

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND The Browns will reportedly meet with an old friend today. The team has scheduled an interview with Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles in the Cleveland area, NFL Network reported. Bowles was an assistant with Cleveland from 2001-04, coaching defensive backs on Butch Davis staff. In his first season with the Cardinals, the 50-year-old Bowles helped Arizona to a 10-6 record. He spent 2012 with Philadelphia, starting the season coaching the secondary before finishing as coordinator when Juan Castillo was fired.

Bowles played eight seasons in the NFL with Washington and San Francisco. He won a Super Bowl with the Redskins in 1988. An interview with Bowles would satisfy the Rooney Rule, requiring teams to meet with at least one minority candidate. Bowles is also expected to interview for Minnesotas head coaching vacancy. On Saturday, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner are expected to interview New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, considered the favorite to replace Rob Chudzinski, fired after one season.

College Football FBS Bowl Glance

FSUs Joyner, Auburns Uzomah are hybrid stars

By RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. Lamarcus Joyner is listed on Florida States depth chart as a cornerback. That fails to tell the whole story of the AllAmerica defensive back. Auburns C.J. Uzomah is the Tigers No. 1 tight end, though hes almost as likely to line up out wide or in the back field. In college football today, it helps to have players who are hard to define because it also makes them hard to neutralize. Hybrid is the term that gets thrown around a lot. Joyner and Uzomah fit the description and could have a major impact on the BCS championship game Monday night, when the topranked Seminoles and No. 2 Tigers meet in the Rose Bowl. Joyner is the Swiss Army knife of Florida States stingy and fast defense, which ranks tops in the nation in yards per play (3.95) and third in yards per game (268.5) allowed. First of all, hes very intelligent, Florida State defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt said Thursday. Hes got a lot of football savvy about him. We play six defensive backs and he can play all six positions. Hes a really good manto-man guy. He can play the ball in the deep part of the field. He can tackle in space. Hes a great blitzer. Hes just an all-around good football player. If Joyner was a basketball player, hed be a point guard who fills up the stat sheet. The 5-8, 190-pound senior and former 5-star recruit from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was second on the team in tackles with 64, led the team in sacks with five, had two interceptions, four passes broken up and three forced fumbles this season. Hes been asked to do a lot and wished he could do even more. If its important enough to you, you would do it and the passion that I have for the game it allows me to do so, he said. Whatever I have to learn I will do it. If the dear Lord blessed me to be 50 pounds heavier and 3 more inches taller, I may go to linebacker or d-end or something. I just love football. While most cornerbacks become stars because of their ability to play on an island, isolated with an elite receiver, Joyner thrives on being in on the action. I love being around that ball, he added. You have some lockdown corners and they dont get any action. I get to roam around on the football field, stick my nose in everyones business and always be around the football. Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee compared Joyner to former Alabama All-America cornerback Gilbert Arenas. Hes a guy we have to know where hes at, Lashlee said. We have to account for him because you see some plays some teams run the ball one way and hes making a play 20 yards on the other side of the field before guys on that side of the field are. You can tell hes got a high football IQ. Uzomah does most of his work away from the ball. The former high school quarterback from Suwanee, Ga., made the transition to tight end when he got to college in 2011 and added wide receiver to his title last year when Auburn was playing a pro-style offense under former coach Gene Chizik. But in coach Gus Malzahns spread hes back to being a tight end in name, if not strictly by definition. CJ is extremely versatile, Lashlee said. He can play tight end. He can flex out and be a receiver. He can be in the backfield like an H-back. He can play inside or outside receiver. Hes got enough size and strength to block defensive linemen, linebackers. Hes got enough speed and quickness. He has that ability to separate or great ball skills that allow him to play out on the perimeter some, too. Uzomahs made only nine catches this season for 146 yards while being limited at times by a leg injury. He has caught three touchdown passes, including the game-winner with 10 seconds left in the Mississippi State game. But playing for the No. 1 rushing offense in the nation, the 6-4, 258-pound junior knows his most important role is as a blocker. I love the physicality aspect of it now, he said. I think thats something we take pride in on the perimeter. Texas-sized cloud hangs over BCS title game: A Texassized cloud of uncertainty looms over college footballs biggest game of the season. As No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Auburn prepare in Southern California, the University of Texas is still looking for a new football coach. And until the Longhorns make a hire, just about every successful coach can be considered a candidate including Florida States Jimbo Fisher and Auburns Gus Malzahn. Ive been amazed about how quiet this thing has been, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said earlier this week. Because of that it leads me to speculate and believe that somebody still involved in coaching, whether its the NFL or college, must be one of their primary candidates. I think the longer this goes on, I think its very, very clear that its somebody whos still coaching. Who that might be, I have no idea. Some leaks have sprung in the last couple of days and it appears frontrunners are emerging. Published reports out of Texas stated the Longhorns were interested in Fisher, Baylors Art Briles, Vanderbilts James Franklin and Louisvilles Charlie Strong. Michigan States Mark Dantonio has also been mentioned as a coach Texas athletic director Steve Patterson is looking at. Patterson said he wants the search complete by Jan. 15. Texas, theyre going to be calling on everybody they possibly can because theyre going to try to get the best coach they possibly can, Florida State AD Stan Wilcox said. Meanwhile, everybodys trying to keep their coaches because they all feel that the people that Texas is looking at are the best coaches out there. Florida State hopes it has put all the speculation about Fishers future to rest. The fourth-year head coach and Nick Saban disciple finally got around on Tuesday to signing a new contract that runs through the 2018 season and pays him about $4.1 million annually. Auburn agreed to a new deal with Malzahn the day before the Southeastern Conference championship game last month. The 6-year contract is worth $3.85 million annually to the first-year Tigers coach. Briles got a 10-year deal in November from Baylor. Michigan State is working on a new deal for Dantonio that could double his $1.9 million salary. The Dallas Morning News and Austin American-Statesmen reported Patterson has met with Strong and that Briles, now that Baylors season ended Tuesday night with a 52-42 loss to UCF in the Fiesta Bowl, could be next to interview. And, of course, Saban, the object of so many Longhorns desires, agreed to a new multi-year deal with Alabama that will pay him $7 million a year after months of stories and speculation connecting the 4-time national championship winning coach and Texas. But what do those extensions really mean? Are Fisher, Malzahn, Briles and even Saban truly off the market? A contract is written to be broken, replied Kansas State athletic director John Currie, who doesnt have to worry about his football coach, 74-year-old Bill Snyder, going anywhere. The trend in college sports, especially college football, is for schools to quickly lock up successful coaches and hand out raises. Mississippi extended Hugh Freezes contract after a 7-5 regular season and bumped his pay to $3 million per year. Washington States Mike Leach got the Cougars back into a bowl by winning six games in his second season at Pullman. He got a two-year extension for his work. Texas A&M made the boldest move of all this season with coach Kevin Sumlin, who was drawing interest from NFL teams last year. The Aggies made Sumlin (20-6 in two seasons at A&M) a $5 million-per-year coach with a new 6-year deal. Arizona AD Greg Byrne said the contract numbers that make headlines can often be deceiving. When you get down into the details the interesting numbers are whats guaranteed, both sides. If the coach were to leave, whats the buyout? And then if you were to dismiss your coach without cause, what percent of the contract is guaranteed? Byrne asked. Sometime youll see someone with an 8-year contract but half the contract is guaranteed, so in some ways its a 4-year contract instead.

Orange Bowl Preview Capsule ORANGE BOWL No. 7 Ohio State (12-1) vs. No. 12 Clemson (10-2), 8:30 p.m. (ESPN) Line: Ohio State by 5. Series Record: Clemson leads 1-0. WHATS AT STAKE Meyer has a chance to win his fifth BCS game in as many tries and with a third different school. A top-5 finish in the national rankings is there for the taking by the Buckeyes. For Clemson, which has won only five of its last 16 bowl appearances, maybe the biggest opportunity that comes today is a chance to forever move past the Orange Bowl debacle of two years ago, when the Tigers lost 70-33 to West Virginia. KEY MATCHUP Clemson DE Vic Beasley vs. Ohio State LT Jack

Mewhort. This game might be Beasleys finale with the Tigers and if he leaves, he might be leaving a game too late for the Buckeyes liking. Hes the prototypical disruptive defensive end, though will be lined up against an elite player in Mewhort. PLAYERS TO WATCH Ohio State: Hyde carried the ball 183 times this season for the Buckeyes. He lost yardage on exactly two of those carries. With more than 1,400 yards in just 10 games and averaging nearly 8 yards per rush, Hyde will surely test the Tigers. Clemson: Boyd makes everything on offense click for Clemson and in his final collegiate game, hell likely be inspired to make quite a finishing statement. He completes more than two-thirds of his passes, threw for 29 touchdowns, ran for nine more and completes 73 percent of his first-down passes.

Cotton Bowl Preview Capsule COTTON BOWL No. 9 Missouri (11-2) vs. No. 13 Oklahoma State (10-2), 8 p.m. (FOX) Line: Oklahoma St. by 1 Series Record: Missouri leads 28-23. WHATS AT STAKE The former Big 12 and Big Eight Conference rivals from bordering states meet in a bowl for the first time. Missouri, wrap-

ping up its second SEC season after leaving the Big 12, will try to match a school record with its 12th victory. Oklahoma State is trying to get 11 wins for the third time in four seasons, after never reaching 11 before that. KEY MATCHUP Missouris big, physical receivers against the Oklahoma State secondary. Mizzou receivers Dorial Green-Beckham (55 catches, 830 yards, 12 TDs) and LDamian Washington (47-853-10) are both 6-foot-4, an inch shorter than Marcus Lucas (55-646-2).

Bengals

(Continued from page 6) We knew it was going to take a lot of change on everybodys part, Lewis said. I got a chance to start over again here as a new coach. The last four drafts have brought a trea-

sure trove of talent Jermaine Gresham, Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Dre Kirkpatrick, Kevin Zeitler, Mohamed Sanu, Marvin Jones, Tyler Eifert, Giovani Bernard. They took a gamble on a player with a trouble

past by signing linebacker Vontaze Burfict as an undrafted free agent and it paid off. The Bengals finished in the top 10 in offense and defense for the first time since 1989 and the coaches think the recent continuity is a big part of it.

Most people exposed to HPV never develop symptoms

DEAR DOCTOR K: A famous actor recently said he got throat cancer from oral sex. Could this be true? DEAR READER: I assume youre referring to actor Michael Douglas, who recently divulged that his throat cancer could have been brought on by oral sex. Hes right. Oral sex is a common way to become infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV), and HPV is a leading cause of mouth and throat cancers. There are about 200 different strains of HPV. Some strains cause warts; other strains cause cancer of the cervix, anus, penis and throat (including the base of the tongue and tonsils). Sexual contact, including oral sex and deep kissing, can transmit HPV from one person to another. Many men who have sex with other men are infected with HPV. Fortunately, most people sexually exposed to HPV never develop symptoms or health problems. Thats true even of the strains of HPV known to cause cancer. Most HPV infections go away by themselves. But in some people, the infection can persist and cause long-term problems, including cancer. There are ways to prevent HPVrelated oral cancer, depending on your age. Pre-teens, teens and young adults of both sexes can get vaccinated against HPV. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that both young women and young men be vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. The two available HPV vaccines provide excellent protection against sexually transmitted HPV. Avoiding oral sex will also protect against oral cancer, although not all cases of oral cancer are caused by this virus. These two vaccines were approved in 2006 and 2009. They have been available just a few years, and only about a third of the kids and young adults for whom the vaccines are recommended have received the vaccine. Nevertheless, a recent study by the CDC found that the number of young people infected with HPV has dropped considerably. Prior studies have shown that the vaccines given to girls and young women also reduce the risk of cancer of the cervix later in life. Vaccination wont help people beyond their mid-20s or the millions of people already infected with HPV. Using condoms can prevent the spread of the virus during penilevaginal, penile-anal or penile-oral sex. Using a dental dam (a thin piece of latex) can help prevent the spread of the virus during oral-vaginal sex. If youve been infected with the virus, diagnosing an HPV-related oral cancer as early as possible greatly improves the chance of cure. See your doctor if you

The discovery that HPV was the major cause of cancer of the cervix led to diagnostic tests for the virus, as well as to the HPV vaccines. These discoveries and inventions have been honored with the Nobel Prize and have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. It was governmentsupported research that made the discoveries possible. *** (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Passengers rescued off ship stuck in Antarctic ice

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) All 52 passengers trapped for more than a week on an icebound Russian research ship in the Antarctic were rescued Thursday when a Chinese helicopter swooped in and plucked them from the ice a dozen at a time. The dramatic international rescue operation became possible once the weather finally cleared. Blinding snow, strong winds, fog and thick sea ice forced rescuers to turn back time and again. The twin-rotor helicopter its red and yellow colors contrasting starkly against the ice and snow carried the scientists and tourists from the Russian ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy to an Australian icebreaker, according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authoritys Rescue Coordination Centre, which oversaw the rescue. At one point, the passengers linked arms and stomped out a landing site in the snow next to the Russian ship for the helicopter, which is based on a Chinese icebreaker. The eagerly anticipated rescue came after days of failed attempts to reach the vessel, which was trapped since Christmas Eve. The icebreaker Aurora Australis will take the passengers to the Australian island state of Tasmania, a journey expected to last two weeks. I think everyone is relieved and excited to be going on to the Australian icebreaker and then home, expedition leader Chris Turney told The Associated Press by satellite phone from the Antarctic. Sydney resident Joanne Sim, a paying passenger, wept as she boarded the Australian icebreakers. She said the passengers had spent their time watching movies and playing games. It really has been an emotional rollercoaster, she told a The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reporter aboard the ship. ASMA said the Aurora today was cracking through heavy ice at 460 meters (1,500 feet) an hours and was expected to reach open sea late today. The 22 crew members of the Akademik Shokalskiy stayed with the icebound vessel, which is not in danger of sinking and has enough supplies on board to last for weeks. They will wait until the ice that surrounds the ship breaks up.

Confusion, relief mark start of new health reforms

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) The new year brought relief for Americans who previously had no health insurance or were stuck in poor plans, but it also led to confusion after the troubled rollout of the federal health care reforms sent a crush of late applications to overloaded government agencies. That created stacks of yet-to-be-processed paperwork and thousands if not millions of people unsure about whether they have insurance. Mike Estes of Beaverton, Ore., finally received his insurance card on Dec. 27 after applying in early November. Still, the family was thrilled to have insurance through the Oregon Health Plan, Oregons version of Medicaid, because their previous $380-a-month premium literally crushed our familys finances, Estes said. Obama administration officials estimate that 2.1 million consumers have enrolled so far through the federal and state-run health insurance exchanges that are a central feature of the federal law. But even before coverage began, health insurance companies complained they were receiving thousands of faulty applications from the government, and some people who thought they had enrolled for coverage have not received confirmation. Tens of thousands of potential Medicaid recipients in the 36 states relying on the federal exchange also are in limbo after the federal website that was supposed to send their applications to the states failed to do so. Reports of complications were scattered around the country. In Burlington, Vt., the states largest hospital had almost two dozen patients seek treatment with new health insurance policies, but more than half of those did not have insurance cards. Minnesotas health care exchange said 53,000 people had enrolled for coverage through its marketplace, but it was unable to confirm the insurance status of an additional 19,000 people who created accounts but did not appear to have purchased the plans. In Connecticut, officials were pleading for patience as call centers fielded calls from people who are concerned because they had yet to receive a bill for premiums or an insurance identification card. This is an unprecedented time, because there are a record number of people who have applied for coverage with an effective date of Jan. 1, said Donna Tommelleo, a spokeswoman for the Connecticut Department of Insurance. The major pieces of the Affordable Care Act that took effect with the new year mean people with pre-existing medical conditions cannot be denied coverage, yearly out-ofpocket medical expenses will be capped new insurance policies must offer a minimum level of essential benefits, ranging from emergency room treatment to maternity care. Some parts of the law took effect previously, such as the ability of young people to remain on their parents insurance policies until age 26. Minnesota and Rhode Island were among the states that extended their sign-up period to the final day of 2013, leading to a crush of new paperwork that government agencies and insurance companies were still scrambling to process. Many consumers have yet to receive bills or insurance cards.

Study finds Medicaid expansion drove up ER visits

SALEM, Ore. (AP) A new study has found that people enrolled recently in Medicaid went to the emergency room 40 percent more frequently than others, often seeking help for conditions that could be treated less expensively in a doctors office or an urgent care clinic. The research, published Thursday by the journal Science, comes as millions of Americans gain health insurance this week under the federal health care law, many of them through Medicaid. The findings help inform a long-running debate about the effect of expanding Medicaid and suggest that hospitals and health officials around the nation should be prepared for an increase in emergency room trips in the coming months. The study is the third to arise from a limited expansion of Medicaid in Oregon five years ago. Demand exceeded the available funding, so the state used a lottery to randomly choose people for coverage from a waiting list. The lottery created two groups of similar people, one consisting of new Medicaid patients, the other a comparison group of people who werent selected. It gave scientists a rare chance to evaluate the program in a randomized, controlled study the goldstandard for scientific research. Taken together with the earlier findings, the latest research indicates that expanding Medicaid improves mental health and leaves patients more financially stable in the first two years. But it increases spending for hospitals, primary care and prescriptions and doesnt produce significant improvements in measures of physical health like blood pressure or cholesterol. Weve been able to eliminate some extreme views about the program, said Sarah Taubman of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the studys lead author. In the absence of that evidence, there were some unduly pessimistic views and some unduly optimistic views about the effects of Medicaid. Researchers used hospital records to look at ER use over 18 months for 25,000 people in the Portland area who entered the Medicaid lottery, some who were chosen for coverage and some who were not. Patients with Medicaid made, on average, 1.43 ER visits, compared with 1.02 for those who lost the lottery, an increase of 40 percent. The study also found that 35 percent of people who werent selected for Medicaid made an ER visit during the research period. For those who gained coverage, however, the number was 7 points higher at 42 percent.

Factory, construction growth boost 2014 outlook

WASHINGTON (AP) Expectations are rising for a stronger U.S. economy in 2014 after reports Thursday showed solid growth in manufacturing and construction spending at the end of last year. Factory activity in December stayed near a 2 -year high. Americans are buying more cars and homes, increasing demand for steel, furniture and other manufactured goods. Manufacturers have boosted hiring to meet that demand and may add jobs at a healthier pace this year. And builders stepped up spending on home construction in November, despite recent increases in borrowing rates. That suggests many remain confident in the housing recovery. The economy has had bursts of healthy growth since the recession ended in June 2009, only to be followed by disappointing slowdowns. But many analysts think growth is now more sustainable. There was strength in some important sectors of the economy at the end of last year, Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, said. 2014 could be the year where the recovery really starts to gain some ground.

Snapchat suffers security breach

NEW YORK (AP) Snapchat, the disappearingmessage service popular with young people, has been quiet following a security breach that allowed hackers to collect the usernames and phone numbers of some 4.6 million of its users. Company spokeswoman Mary Ritti said Thursday that the company is assessing the situation, but did not have further comment. The breach occurred after security experts warned the company at least twice about a vulnerability in its system. Snapchats seemingly detached response is causing some security specialists to wonder whether the young company can handle the spotlight that its been thrust into over the last year as its service has become enormously popular. In response to a warning by Gibson Security Dec. 25 which followed an earlier alert in August Snapchat said in a blog post last Friday that it had implemented various safeguards over the past year that would make it more difficult to steal large sets of phone numbers. Snapchat hasnt detailed the changes it made. Even so, regarding Snapchats response, Gartner security analyst Avivah Litan said it doesnt seem that responsible to be so nonchalant about it. As Americans rang in the New Year, hackers reportedly published 4.6 million Snapchat

Chill

usernames and phone numbers on a website called snapchatdb. info, which has since been suspended. The breach came less than a week after the most recent warning from security experts that an attack could take place. The incident bruises the companys image and may threaten its rapid growth. Los Angeles-based Snapchat has no source of revenue, but its rapid rise to an estimated 20 million U.S. adult users prompted Facebook to extend a reported $3 billion buyout last year. Snapchats 23-yearold CEO Evan Spiegel turned down the overture. The user number estimate is based on census data and data from the Pew Research Center.

Marines delay female fitness plan after half fail

WASHINGTON (AP) More than half of female Marines in boot camp cant do three pullups, the minimum standard that was supposed to take effect with the new year, prompting the Marine Corps to delay the requirement, part of the process of equalizing physical standards to integrate women into combat jobs. The delay rekindled sharp debate in the military on the question of whether women have the physical strength for some military jobs, as service branches move toward opening thousands of combat roles to them in 2016. Although no new timetable has been set on the delayed physical requirement, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos wants training officials to continue to gather data and ensure that female Marines are provided with the best opportunity to succeed, Capt. Maureen Krebs, a Marine spokeswoman, said Thursday. Starting with the new year, all female Marines were supposed to be able to do at least three pullups on their annual physical fitness test and eight for a perfect score. The requirement was tested in 2013 on female recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C., but only 45 percent of women met the minimum, Krebs said. The Marines had hoped to institute the pullups on the belief that pullups require the muscular strength necessary to perform common military tasks such as scaling a wall, climbing up a rope or lifting and carrying heavy munitions. Officials felt there wasnt a medical risk to putting the new standard into effect as planned across the service, but that the risk of losing recruits and hurting retention of women already in the service was unacceptably high, she said.

According to the NWS, with a wind chill temperature of -32, frostbite is a concern after just 10 minutes of exposure. Areas most commonly affected by frostbite are exposed areas and areas with less blood flow such as hands, feet, ears, nose and face. The elderly and children are particularly susceptible. In addition, persons with circulation problems (such as those with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, and Raynauds syndrome/phenomenon); history of previous cold injuries; and those who ingest particular drugs (such as alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and beta-blockers) are at higher risk. Although there is no medical reason, it seems that persons from southern or tropical climates may also be more at risk. Preventing frostbite Proper clothing for winter weather insulates from the cold, lets perspiration evaporate and provides protection against wind, rain, and snow. Wear several layers of light, loose clothing that will trap air, yet provide adequate ventilation. This is better protection than one bulky or heavy covering. The best fabrics for the cold are wool, polyester or polypropylene and water-repellent materials (not waterproof, which holds in perspiration). Down coats and vests are warm; however, if down gets wet it loses its insulating properties. Coverings for the head and neck are

important. Hats, hoods, scarves, earmuffs and facemasks are good protection. Protect feet and toes. Wear two pairs of socks wool is best, or cotton socks with a pair of wool on top. Wear wellfitted boots that are high enough to cover the ankles. Hand coverings are vital. Mittens are warmer than gloves but may limit what the wearer can do with their fingers. Wear lightweight gloves under mittens so theres still protection if the mittens are taken off to use fingers. Be sure clothing and boots are not tight. A decrease in blood flow makes it harder to keep the body parts warm and increases the risk of frostbite. When in frostbite-causing conditions, dress appropriately, stay near adequate shelter, avoid alcohol and tobacco and avoid remaining in the same position for long periods. Signs and symptoms of frostbite Mild frostbite (frostnip) affects the outer skin layers and appears as a blanching or whitening of the skin. The first symptom is a pins and needles sensation. Other symptoms include swelling, itching, burning and deep pain as the area is warmed. Usually, these symptoms disappear as warming occurs but the skin may appear red for several hours. In more severe cases, the frostbitten skin will appear waxy-looking with a white, grayish-yellow or grayish-blue color. The affected part(s) will be numb. The tissue will feel frozen or wooden to touch. More severe frostbite will result in blisters filled with clear or milky fluid. This indicates a very serious condition. Very severe frostbite may cause gangrene (blackened, dead tissue) and dam-

age to deep structures such as tendons, muscles, nerves and bone, with resultant loss of tissue. In even mild cases of frostbite, it is strongly recommended to seek medical assistance. Do Have your injury re-warmed under medical supervision, if possible. Get to a warm place where you can stay warm after thawing. Rest the injured areas (avoid walking on frostbitten feet, etc.). Use water 100F (should be warm to the touch - not hot) for 30-45 minutes until a good color (flush) has returned to the entire area. This process may be painful, especially the final 10 minutes. Leave the blisters intact. Cover with a sterile or clean covering if protection is needed to prevent rupturing. Keep the affected part(s) as clean as possible to reduce the risk of infection. Elevate the area above the level of the heart. Make sure your tetanus booster is within 10 years. Do not Allow the injury to thaw then refreeze. This is very dangerous and can cause serious or permanent injury. It is better to delay warming. For example, keep walking to a permanent shelter rather than warm frozen toes at a temporary shelter and then expose them to more cold on the rest of the trip. Use dry heat (sunlamp, radiator, heating pad, etc.) to thaw the injured area. Thaw the injury in melted ice. Rub the area with snow. Use alcohol, nicotine, marijuana or other drugs that may affect blood flow.

be able to choose which test of upper-body strength they will be graded on in their annual physical fitness test. Their choices: Pullups, with three the minimum. Three is also the minimum for male Marines, but they need 20 for a perfect rating. A flexed-arm hang. The minimum is for 15 seconds; women get a perfect score if they last for 70 seconds. Men dont do the hang in their test. Officials said training for pullups can change a persons strength, while training for the flex-arm hang does little to adapt muscular strength needed for military tasks.
