About that stabbing back pain
Authorities say a New Jersey man awoke after a long nights
sleep to discover a knife stuck in his back.
Police in Trenton say the 42-year-old man didnt know why
his back was hurting when he got up Sunday so he had his
brother take a look. The brother saw a knife protruding from
the middle of his back.
Police did not identify the man. They say he had gotten into
a fistfight on his porch after a night of drinking and apparently
didnt realize he had been stabbed.
Police tell The Times of Trenton the man was uncooperative
when detectives tried to talk to him at the hospital. He was
expected to be released Monday.

Gov. Jay Nixon addresses a crowded Fulton State Hospital can-
tina to announce he was releasing the remaining $11 million
in state funds needed for planning and designing a new Fulton
State Hospital. He also unveiled a 2015 budget proposal for
issuing bonds to cover the remaninder of the $211 million
project.

FULTON Gov. Jay Nixon
announced Monday a proposal to issue
state bonds to fund a new $211 million
psychiatric facility at the aging Biggs
and Guhleman forensic centers.
At a press conference at Fulton State
Hospitals Administration Building,
Nixon also said he had released $11
million that had been withheld earlier
this year to complete the planning and
design process.
Anyone who walks these grounds or
through the halls of the Biggs Forensic
Center as we did this past July can see
that the facilities here are aging and in
serious need of repair, Nixon said. Its
wards are cramped and deteriorat-
ing, leading to injuries among staff and
patients. Based on workers comp costs,
its far more dangerous to work here in
Fulton than any Department of Correc-
tions facility. Thats unacceptable, and
its time to fix it.
Marty Martin-Forman, chief oper-
ating officer at Fulton State Hospital,
said the hospital is incredibly excited
and grateful for what has seemed like
a very long journey in the governors
announcement. We are very much
looking forward to providing treatment
in a modern psychiatric facility, Mar-
tin-Forman said. Although we know its
a ways away, this is the first step. This
had to happen, and it feels really good.
In June, Nixon withheld about
$401 million in state funds and
Mid-Missouri legislator:
Nixons plan may be
unconstitutional
By Celia Ampel
news@newstribune.com
FULTON Gov. Jay Nixons proposal to issue
state bonds to fund a new $211 million psychiatric
facility may be unconstitutional because it avoids a
public vote, according to an area legislator.
The governor is avoiding the vote of the people,
said Rep. Chris Kelly, D-Columbia. I understand
why hes doing it its politically difficult but we
need to follow the Constitution.
Nixon said he plans to fund the rebuilding proj-
ect entirely through appropriations bonds, which
are approved by the state Legislature but do not go
through a public vote. He said it was important to
move quickly because interest rates are at historic
lows.
He cited several examples of Missouri capital

Consultant talk put on

The Jefferson City Council is requesting
more specific numbers from the Ehrhardt
Hospitality Group on a proposed confer-
ence center within one week after several
council members expressed frustration
at the lack of information included in the
developers proposal.
At a City Council work session Mon-
day, the council unanimously approved
a motion to direct interim City Adminis-
trator Drew Hilpert get specific numbers
from the Ehrhardts by Dec. 17. The need-
ed information includes the total cost of
the project, how much the developer will
invest in the project, the funding gap for
the project and what incentives the devel-
oper is requesting to fill that gap.
The funding gap is the difference
between the total price tag on a proposal
and the citys $9 million contribution.
In mid-November, the City Council
voted 6-4 to move conference center pro-
posals from both Jefferson City-based
Farmer Holding Co. and Hannibal-based
Ehrhardt Hospitality Group forward into
the contract negotiation phase. There is
no timeline for completing the next phase,
with Hilpert saying it could take from two
months to two years before contracts are
ready to be presented.
Farmer Holding Co. has proposed a
$36 million hotel and conference center at
the Capital Mall, while Ehrhardt Hospital-
ity has proposed a $24.6 million hotel and
conference center at the West McCarty
Street site, which is owned by the state.
The funding gap for Farmer Holding
Co. is $27 million, which the developer
has proposed closing by using $11.4 mil-
lion in private investments, $10.6 mil-
lion in tax increment financing funds and
roughly $5 million in sales tax proceeds
from a community improvement district.
During a discussion of what tax incen-
tives the city would be willing to autho-
rize for the developers, several council
members expressed frustration with the

Nicklasson set to die
early Wednesday
KANSAS CITY (AP) After going nearly
three years without an execution, Missouri
is preparing for its second in three weeks.
Allen Nicklasson, 41, is scheduled to die
at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for killing Richard
Drummond, a businessman from Excelsior
Springs, Mo., who stopped to help when he
saw a car stranded along Interstate 70 in
eastern Missouri in 1994. Nicklasson and
two others forced Drummond to drive to
a secluded area, where Nicklasson killed
him.
One of the other men in the car, Dennis
Skillicorn, was put to death in 2009. The
third, Tim DeGraffenreid, pleaded guilty to
second-degree murder and was spared the
death penalty.
The state executed racist serial killer
Joseph Paul Franklin on Nov. 20. It was the
first execution in Missouri using a single
drug, pentobarbital.
Nicklassons attorney has asked the Mis-
souri Supreme Court to intervene and will
petition Gov. Jay Nixon for clemency, she
said Monday.
The crime happened in August 1994.
Nicklasson, Skillicorn and DeGraffenreid
left Kansas City to buy drugs in St. Louis.
They were heading back home when their
1983 Chevrolet Caprice stalled on I-70,
soon after they stole guns and money from
a home near Kingdom City, about 100 miles
west of St. Louis.

MISSOURI
EXECUTION: After going nearly three
years without an execution, Missouri
is preparing for its second in three
weeks. Allen Nicklasson is scheduled
to die at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for
killing Richard Drummond, a busi-
nessman who stopped to help when
he saw a car stranded along Inter-
state 70 in eastern Missouri in 1994.
Nicklasson and two others forced
Drummond to drive to a secluded
area, where Nicklasson killed him.
FORT LEONARD WOOD: As U.S.
military forces dug in for protract-
ed conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,
Army instructors at Fort Leonard
Wood modified their training pro-
grams to mimic the sorts of estab-
lished encampments soldiers would
encounter overseas. Now, with the
U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East,
recruits are experiencing a more tra-
ditional, expeditionary-based train-
ing program at the sprawling Army
post.

PLASTIC GUNS: Congress is renew-
ing a prohibition against guns that
can fool airport screening machines.
But gun control supporters have
been unable to stiffen the restrictions,
underscoring the failure to enact new
curbs on firearms in the year since
the Newtown mass school shooting.
AIRLINES MERGER: American Air-
lines emerges from bankruptcy pro-
tection and US Airways culminates
its long pursuit of a merger partner
after the two completed their deal and
create the worlds biggest airline. The
merger survived a challenge from the
government and criticism from con-
sumer groups, who fear it will lead to
higher prices. Its the latest in a series
of mergers that will leave four airlines
controlling more than 80 percent of
the U.S. air-travel market.

improvement projects funded
through the same type of bonds,
including the Metropolitan
St. Louis Psychiatric Hospital,
Northwest Missouri Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Center and the
Truman State Office Building in
Jefferson City.
But Kelly says the Missou-
ri Constitution limits the states
power to issue bonds to three
situations: to refund outstand-
ing bonds; in case of emergency,
with a limit of $1 million; and
if the measure is approved by a
majority of the qualified electors
of the state voting thereon at the
election.
Kelly interprets the last stipu-
lation to mean the bond must be
put up for a public vote.
He added that a revenue bond
has to fund a project that gen-
erates money, such as a parking
garage or a dormitory. A state
mental hospital is funded by
taxes.
Let the people decide, Kelly
said. Its their money. Give them
the choice. We could do that.
We could do that in time to
build it this year, suggesting a
public vote in April 2014.
Kelly said he also worries that
the bond would bind a future
Legislature into borrowing
money it might not be able to
pay back.
(Nixon) is effectively playing
games with our AAA credit rat-
ing, Kelly said.
Despite his qualms, Kelly
said there couldnt be a more
important project than the psy-
chiatric facility.
He said he had been lobbying
for improvements for six years,
and he was glad the governor had
made the construction a priority.
The Fulton State Hospital
construction project could create
more than 2,500 new jobs in the
area, the governors office esti-
mated.
The bond issue will be part
of the governors fiscal year 2015
budget proposal, to be present-
ed to the General Assembly in
January.
As these walls contin-
ue to crumble, our conscience
demands that we do better,
Nixon said. And under my pro-
posal, we will.
capital improvements projects
including $13 million earmarked
for planning and designing new
facilities for the aging hospital
in response to an attempt-
ed veto override on a House bill
that would have cut taxes and
undermine(d) our fiscal foun-
dation now and for years to
come, Nixon said Monday.
After the veto was sustained
at the veto session in Septem-
ber, Nixon released the first $2
million in withheld funds to
the hospitals planning stage.
The remaining $11 million was
released Monday.
According to commissioned
studies, the cost of the project,
including planning and design,
is about $211 million. Nixon
said the remaining $200 million
would come through appro-
priation bonds that would not
require public vote.
With interest rates still at his-
toric lows, this proposal is a fis-
cally responsible and measured
approach that will ensure a new
facility can be built thats safe,
secure and conducive to heal-
ing, Nixon said.
Nixon said now was the right
time to go forward on the project.
With our economy growing
and folks getting back to work,
we have a unique opportunity
to make smart, affordable and
long-overdue investments like
those here at Fulton State Hos-
pital, Nixon said. Tragic events
across the country have brought
national attention to how mental
illness especially when its left
untreated can ravage individ-
uals, families and entire com-
munities. Thats why this year I
was pleased that the legislature
followed my recommendation to
invest $10 million to help iden-
tify and care for Missourians with
severe mental illness before they
reach a crisis point.
Built in 1851, Fulton State
Hospital is the oldest mental
health facility west of the Mis-
sissippi River. Many of its facil-
ities are outdated, in disrepair
and poorly designed by modern
mental health standards. The
proposal to rebuild the hospital
has drawn bipartisan support.
State Sen. Mike Parson, R-Bo-
livar, member of the Senate
Interim Committee on Capital
Improvement Assessment and
Planning, voiced support at the
press conference.
We went across the state this
year and tried to figure out pri-
orities for the state of Missouri,
Parson said. And (a new Fulton
State Hospital) is the top of the
list. It was the No. 1 item on our
interim committee across the
state. Believe me, theres a lot of
popular things to do out there, a
lot of other needs out there, but
this is one that truly is the right
thing to do regardless of the pop-
ularity of it.
Fellow members of the com-
mittee expressed support in a
press release.
The need for improvement
at the Fulton State Hospital was
extremely clear, said Chairman
David Pearce, R-Warrensburg.
We have heard stories and now
have seen in person the need
to improve this facility for the
safety of our citizens. Its a daunt-
ing task, but its one of our most
pressing needs. We are happy
to see the hospital will also be
a priority for the governor. We
look forward to working with him
and his staff on this major and
much-needed project.
We wanted to actually get
out, tour the facilities and state
buildings to help us prioritize
those needs and leverage pri-
vate support, said Senate Lead-
er Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles.
After seeing the conditions at
the Fulton facility in person, it
was clear this would be a top
priority for us.
Nixon said Monday the need
for safety improvements at the
state hospital outweigh the costs.
Its important to set aside the
economic impact studies and the
cost assessments. Theres just no
question that we have a moral
responsibility to these patients
and their care, Nixon said. It
transcends politics, and it goes
beyond economics. This is a
need that hits at the very core of
our duty as a civilized society. As
these walls continue to crumble,
our conscience commands to do
better, and under my proposal
we will.

among staff, ensuring review of
adjustments and voided trans-
actions, and preparing a month-
ly list of cases heard in the court.
The audit also detailed a
potentially improper $35 war-
rant fee the court assesses for
each warrant issued.
The fees are imposed based
on a judges order, but the audit
recommended the city imple-
ment an ordinance to authorize
the fee, which the City Coun-
cil approved last week. Accord-
ing to the audit, warrant fees
brought in $60,000 during the
citys 2012 fiscal year.
Other recommendations
included ensuring court staff
have separate usernames and
passwords for the computer sys-
tem and reviewing staff access
to data. The audit stated one
system user has inappropriate
access and another user has
unnecessary access to the com-
puter system based on their job
responsibilities.
The citys responses to each
recommendation are included
in the audit, and either agree to
implement the changes or detail
any problems with the findings.
The audit recommended
ensuring the prosecuting attor-
ney signs all tickets, stating staff
uses his signature stamp on
tickets and the operations divi-
sion staff overseeing the parking
division are allowed to void or
dismiss appealed parking tickets
without the prosecuting attor-
neys approval.
The citys response stated
that while the prosecutor should
review and sign all tickets, this
is a limitation of a part-time
prosecutor. The city noted the
prosecutor will be requested to
sign all tickets moving forward,
but as an elected official, no
staff has oversight of the prose-
cutor.

Ehrhardt Groups proposal, say-
ing the city never received much
of the information it needs.
This is foolish for us to sit
here and speculate about what
they need, said 3rd Ward Coun-
cilman Bob Scrivner. Im tired
of having meeting after meeting
after meeting having specula-
tions Right now, theyre telling
us nothing.
Scrivner, who made the
motion, originally included that
if the Ehrhardt Group did not
provide the numbers by Dec. 17,
they would be eliminated from
consideration for the conference
center project.
If you dont eliminate them,
theres no incentive to provide
the numbers, Scrivner said. Its
not like theyre starting today
If they dont (have those num-
bers), Im not sure I want them
as the developer.
But 5th Ward Councilman
Ralph Bray made a motion to
strike the threat of elimination
from Scrivners original motion,
which was approved 8-2. Scriv-
ner and 2nd Ward Councilman
Shawn Schulte voiced the only
opposing votes.
Hilpert said whatever he
receives back from the Ehrhardt
Group could be reported in
closed session under contract
negotiations.
The council also unanimous-
ly approved a motion to take
property tax abatement off the
table, meaning the tax incentive
would not be available to the two
developers.
The Ehrhardt Group is the
only developer to officially
request that incentive in their
final proposal, though the Farm-
ers had discussion in closed
session with the council about
using that incentive. During
those discussions, the council
indicated to the Farmers that
they would not allow property
tax abatement as an incentive.
Hilpert also noted that both
developers have indicated so far
that they will not be request-
ing any stipend from the city for
work done on the proposals.
The council also was slated to
discuss a draft request for pro-
posals for a new consultant to
assist in the negotiations phase,
but that was put off at Hilperts
request.
Hilpert said, after a discus-
sion with Schulte, the citys
previous consultant, Charles
Johnson, of Johnson Consulting,
may owe the city additional ser-
vices from his contract in the
last phase of conference center
discussions.
Johnson has been paid more
than $44,000 out of the lodging
tax fund for his work.
But Hilpert said his contract
also included a provision to
assist in contract negotiations
and he plans to look more thor-
oughly through that contract
to determine whether Johnson
owes additional services.

supervisor for AT&T, saw the
stranded motorists in the late
afternoon and decided to help.
Nicklasson put a gun to
Drummonds head and ordered
him to drive west. They direct-
ed him to a secluded wooded
area in western Missouri, where
Nicklasson shot Drummond
twice in the head. His remains
were found eight days later.
Nicklasson and Skillicorn
stole Drummonds car and drove
to Arizona. When the vehicle
broke down in the desert, they
approached the home of Joseph
Babcock, who was shot and
killed by Nicklasson after driving
the pair back to their vehicle.
The victims wife, Charlene Bab-
cock, was killed at the couples
home.
Both men were convicted
of the Arizona killings and sen-
tenced to life in prison, then got
the death penalty in Missouri.
Nicklasson has been on death
row since 1996.
The group Missourians for
Alternatives to the Death Penalty
plans vigils in support of Nicklas-
son in seven Missouri locations
Tuesday night, including outside
the prison in Bonne Terre where
executions take place.
Rita Linhardt, board chair-
man for Missourian for Alterna-
tives to the Death Penalty, said
Nicklasson suffered from abuse
and mental illness. He was insti-
tutionalized and released as a
young man, even as he pleaded
to stay because he felt he needed
more help, Linhardt said.
He became homeless, got
hooked on drugs, and his crimes
escalated, Linhardt said.
There were opportunities
along the way where he could
have been helped, but the state
dropped the ball, Linhardt said.
Nicklasson grew up with a
mother who was a stripper. He
declined interview requests on
Monday, but in a 2009 interview
with The Associated Press, he
recalled his mother shooting
up heroin and bringing home a
series of abusive boyfriends. He
said he still has scars from one
who burned him.
He met Skillicorn at a drug
rehab center in Kansas City in
1994. Skillicorn was out of prison
following a second-degree mur-
der conviction for killing a man
during a robbery.
The men, along with
DeGraffenreid, decided to go on
the drug run, leading to the fate-
ful meeting with Drummond.
Missouri previously used a
three-drug method of execu-
tions, but changed protocols
after drugmakers stopped sell-
ing the lethal drugs to prisons
and corrections departments.
The pentobarbital used in Mis-
souri executions comes from
an undisclosed compounding
pharmacy. The Missouri Depart-
ment of Corrections declines
to say who makes the drug, or
where.

Congress renews plastic gun ban for decade
WASHINGTON (AP) Narrowly beating
a midnight deadline, Congress voted Monday
to renew an expiring ban on plastic firearms
that can evade airport detection machines.
But Republicans blocked an effort to tough-
en the restrictions the latest defeat for
gun-control forces in the year since the grade
school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
By voice vote, the Senate gave final con-
gressional approval to a 10-year extension
of the prohibition against guns that can slip
past metal detectors and X-ray machines.
The House voted last week for an identi-
cal decade-long renewal of the ban, and
the measure now goes to President Barack
Obama for his signature.
Obama, traveling to Africa for ceremonies
honoring the late South African president
Nelson Mandela, was expected to sign the
bill before midnight using an auto pen, a
White House official said. The device has
been used for the signatures of traveling
presidents since the administration of presi-
dent George W. Bush.
GOP senators rejected an effort by Sen.
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to strengthen the
ban by requiring that such weapons contain
undetachable metal parts. Some plastic guns
meet the letter of the current law with a metal
piece that can be removed, making them a
threat to be slipped past security screeners at
schools, airports and elsewhere.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, top Repub-
lican on the Senate Judiciary Committee,
said Congress should extend the ban for a
decade and study Schumers more restrictive
plan to make sure it doesnt interfere with
technologies used by legitimate gun manu-
facturers.
He said the bills recent introduction sug-
gests that the real objectives were things
other than just getting an extension.
At a news conference later, Schumer said
he had no ulterior motive in proposing to
strengthen the ban and said he hoped to find
compromise with Grassley in coming weeks.
The bottom line is technology advanc-
es and it does good things and it does bad
things, he said.
Underscoring the issues political sensi-
tivity, both of Mondays votes were on unan-
imous consent requests. That meant any
single senator could scuttle the proposals by
objecting.
It also meant the votes were by voice
and that no individual senators votes were
recorded. For a handful of Democratic
senators seeking re-election next year in
GOP-leaning states, the days votes could
have been difficult.
The National Rifle Association, which has
been instrumental in blocking gun restric-
tions, expressed no opposition to renewing
the law. But the gun lobby said it would
fight any expanded requirements, including
Schumers, that would infringe on our Sec-
ond Amendment rights to bear arms.
The rejection of stricter curbs highlighted
the repeated setbacks for gun-control advo-
cates in Congress since last Dec. 14. On that
day, a gunman fatally shot 20 first-graders
and six staff members at Sandy Hook Ele-
mentary School before killing himself.
Despite that and other recent mass
shootings, including at the Washington Navy
Yard just blocks from the Capitol sup-
porters of expanded gun control are nearing
the end of a year in which they have been
unable to push any new firearms restrictions
through Congress.
Were several decades behind the NRA,
said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. This is
a long game, and its going to take us some
time to build up the resources necessary to
compete.
Congressional Republicans have resisted
tightening the restrictions against undetect-
able guns, but those lawmakers as well as
the NRA have not opposed renewing the
current prohibition. The House approved a
10-year extension last week.

Cody Wilson holds what he calls a Liberator pistol that was completely made
on a 3-D-printer at his home in Austin, Texas. Congress is extending a ban
on plastic firearms that can slip past airport and school metal detectors and
X-ray machines.
Cold dis-comfort: Antarctica set record of -135.8
WASHINGTON (AP) Feeling chilly?
Heres cold comfort: You could be in East
Antarctica which new data says set a record
for soul-crushing cold.
Try 135.8 degrees Fahrenheit below zero;
thats 93.2 degrees below zero Celsius, which
sounds only slightly toastier. Better yet, dont
try it. Thats so cold scientists say it hurts to
breathe.
A new look at NASA satellite data revealed
that Earth set a new record for coldest tem-
perature recorded. It happened in August
2010 when it hit -135.8 degrees. Then on July
31 of this year, it came close again: -135.3
degrees.
The old record had been -128.6 degrees,
which is -89.2 degrees Celsius.
Ice scientist Ted Scambos at the Nation-
al Snow and Ice Data Center said the new
record is 50 degrees colder than anything
that has ever been seen in Alaska or Siberia
or certainly North Dakota.
Its more like youd see on Mars on a nice
summer day in the poles, Scambos said,
from the American Geophysical Union scien-
tific meeting in San Francisco Monday, where
he announced the data. Im confident that
these pockets are the coldest places on Earth.
However, it wont be in the Guinness Book
of World Records because these were satellite
measured, not from thermometers, Scambos
said.
Thank God, I dont know how exactly it
feels, Scambos said. But he said scientists do
routinely make naked 100 degree below zero
dashes outside in the South Pole, so people
can survive that temperature for about three
minutes.
Most of the time researchers need to
breathe through a snorkel that brings air into
the coat through a sleeve and warms it up so
you dont inhale by accident the cold air,
Scambos said.
On Monday, the coldest U.S. temperature
was a relatively balmy 27 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit in Yellowstone, Wyo., said Jeff
Masters, meteorology director of the private
firm Weather Underground.
If you want soul-crushing cold, you really
have to go overseas, Scambos said in a phone
interview. Its just a whole other level of cold
because on that cold plateau, conditions are
perfect.
Scambos said the air is dry, the ground
chilly, the skies cloudless and cold air swoops
down off a dome and gets trapped in a chilly
lower spot hugging the surface and sliding
around.
Just because one spot on Earth has set
records for cold that has little to do with
global warming because it is one spot in one
place, said Waleed Abdalati, an ice scientist at
the University of Colorado and NASAs former
chief scientist. Both Abdalati, who wasnt part
of the measurement team, and Scambos said
this is likely an unusual random reading in a
place that hasnt been measured much before
and could have been colder or hotter in the
past and we wouldnt know.

S&P 500 index notches
another record close
NEW YORK (AP) The stock market notched another record
close Monday after a big acquisition in the food industry. Hope for
a longer-term budget deal in Washington also helped.
Food distributor Sysco rose the most in the Standard & Poors
500 index after the company announced an agreement to buy rival
US Foods in an $8.2 billion deal. Syscos stock jumped $3.31, or 9.7
percent, to $37.62.
Stocks extended a rally from Friday that was driven by a report
of solid U.S. job gains. That boosted investor confidence that the
economy was growing strongly enough to handle any pullback in
the Federal Reserves economic stimulus.
The S&P 500 index climbed 3.28 points, or 0.2 percent, to
1,808.37. That put the index a point above its previous record close
of 1,807.23 set November 27.
Other indexes also made small gains. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 5.33 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 16,025.53. The
Nasdaq composite increased 6.23 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,068.75.
The stock market stuttered in October after political wrangling
over the budget caused a 16-day partial government shutdown that
crimped economic growth and hurt consumer confidence.
A budget deal could be viewed as positive, in the sense that it is
putting to bed one more possible disruption, Stone said.
New American Airlines to emerge as deal closes
By the Associated Press
American Airlines emerges from bank-
ruptcy protection and US Airways culmi-
nates its long pursuit of a merger partner
when the two complete their deal Monday
and create the worlds biggest airline.
The merger survived a challenge from
the government and criticism from con-
sumer groups, who fear it will lead to higher
prices. Its the latest in a series of mergers
that will leave four airlines controlling more
than 80 percent of the U.S. air-travel market
and with more power than ever to limit
seats and boost profits.
When American emerges from bank-
ruptcy as American Airlines Group Inc., it
will mark a monumental victory for CEO
Doug Parker and his executive team at
smaller US Airways, who convinced Amer-
icans creditors that a merger made more
sense than letting American remain an
independent company.
Plans call for Parker to mark the day
by ringing the opening bell on the Nasdaq
Stock Market, where the new company will
debut under the ticker symbol AAL. Park-
ers team will spend the next two years or
longer combining the two carriers.
The American Airlines name will live
on, while US Airways will join Continental,
Northwest and other airlines that now exist
only in the memories of employees and

wealth reached an all-time high this sum-
mer, buoyed by record-setting stock prices
and a healthy recovery in home values.
The Federal Reserve said Monday that
U.S. net worth, a measure of household
wealth, rose 2.6 percent to $77.3 trillion
from July through September. Net worth
reflects the value of homes, stocks, bank
accounts and other assets minus mortgag-
es, credit cards and other debts.
Rising stock prices boosted Americans
net worth $917 billion. Higher home values
added another $428 billion.
The increase in net worth is an encour-
aging sign for the economy. As Americans
gain wealth, they typically spend more and
that drives faster growth.
The report also showed that Americans
are willing to borrow more. That suggests
many are growing more confident in their
jobs and the broader economy.
Adjusted for inflation, net worth is about
1 percent below its pre-recession peak.
US household wealth reaches high of $77.3 trillion

Dempsey presses Congress
to act on defense bill
WASHINGTON (AP) The chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff is pressuring Congress to act
this year on a defense policy bill.
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey wrote to House
and Senate leaders on Monday warning that allow-
ing the defense bill to slip to January would add
more uncertainty to the force and complicate the
work of military commanders.
Dempsey also said he fears delay could put the
bill at risk.
The Democratic and Republican leaders of
the House and Senate Armed Services Commit-
tee have reached agreement on a compromise
measure, with plans to reveal the details Monday
afternoon.
Dempseys letter adds pressure on House and
Senate leaders to vote on the compromise before
the House adjourns at weeks end.
Partially sunken towboat
raised from Mississippi River
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) A partially sunken
towboat was raised from the Mississippi River in
Iowa on Monday, two weeks after it hit something
in the river and took on water.
A large crane was rigged to the bow of the boat
Sunday, and crews began the process of pulling
the boat up Monday morning. As it was lifted,
workers continued to pump out the remaining
water, fuel and oil, Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st
Class Mariana OLeary said.
The tugboat was carrying an estimated 99,000
gallons of diesel fuel and oil when it struck a sub-
merged object and sank on Nov. 25 near LeClaire,
along Iowas border with Illinois and about 180
miles east of Des Moines.
Princeton starts mass
meningitis B vaccinations
PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) Princeton University
has begun vaccinating nearly 6,000 students to
try to stop an outbreak of type B meningitis in an
unusual federal government-endorsed adminis-
tration of a drug not generally approved for use in
the United States.
Seven students and one prospective student
who was visiting campus have been stricken by
potentially life-threatening type B meningococcal
disease since March. None of the cases has been
fatal.
Scores of students were lined up in a cam-
pus center when the vaccinations became avail-
able Monday. University officials said they would
release the number of students who received the
shots. Vaccines are being given through Thursday,
and a booster dose will be given in February.
NOAA: 11 dead whales
suffered from malnutrition
SNIPE POINT, Fla. (AP) Necropsies per-
formed on the 11 whales found dead in the Florida
Keys show that they were emaciated and suffering
from malnutrition.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin-
istration stranding coordinator Blair Mase said
Monday that the whales empty bellies could be a
result of disease or of being out of the deep, cooler
waters that form their natural habitat.
A fisherman found the 11 whales lying near one
another Sunday in Snipe Point, on an island chain
northwest of Key West.
The whales are believed to be part of a pod of
51 whales originally found stranded on a remote
Everglades beach last Tuesday. Six other whales
were found dead Wednesday, and four more had
to be euthanized. Another was found dead Thurs-
day.
Twenty-nine whales remain unaccounted for.
Jury selected in Montana
newlywed killing case
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) A jury has been
selected and opening arguments are expected
in the murder trial of a newlywed bride accused
of pushing her husband from a cliff in Glacier
National Park just days after their wedding.
Jordan Graham has pleaded not guilty to
charges of first-degree murder, second-degree
murder and making a false statement to authori-
ties in the death of 25-year-old Cody Johnson.
The jury of eight men, six women and two alter-
nates was seated Monday and opening statements
were expected later in the day.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy said he
hoped to get the case to the jury this week.
Prosecutors say the 22-year-old Graham and
Johnson had been married for eight days when
they argued over her doubts about the marriage on
a cliff in the park.
Ex-San Diego mayor
sentenced for harassment
SAN DIEGO (AP) Bob Filner was sentenced
Monday to three months of home confinement
and three years of probation for harassing women
while he was mayor of San Diego, completing the
fall of the former 10-term congressman who barely
a year ago achieved his long dream of being elect-
ed leader of the nations eighth-largest city.
Filner, who resigned amid widespread alle-
gations of sexual harassment, pleaded guilty in
October to one felony and two misdemeanors for
placing a woman in a headlock, kissing another
woman and grabbing the buttocks of a third.
Superior Court Judge Robert Trentacostas sen-
tence was the same as what prosecutors recom-
mended in a plea agreement with Filner. The
71-year-old former mayor faced a maximum pen-
alty of three years in prison for the felony and one
year in jail for each misdemeanor.
WORLD
World leaders to speak at massive
Mandela memorial
JOHANNESBURG (AP) An eclectic mix of
world leaders including President Barack Obama
and Cuban President Raul Castro will eulogize
Nelson Mandela before a crowd of nearly 100,000
mourners at a massive memorial service Tues-
day in the World Cup soccer stadium where the
anti-apartheid champion made his last public
appearance.
What a fantastic gift God gave to us in this
Mandela, who quickly became an icon, a global
icon of forgiveness, of generosity of spirit, Arch-
bishop Desmond Tutu told a gathering Monday at
the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory.
He really was like a magician with a magic
wand, turning us into this glorious, multi-colored,
rainbow people.
Nearly 100 world leaders and tens of thou-
sands of South Africans of all races and back-
grounds were expected to pay their respects to
the anti-apartheid champion at the FNB stadium
in Soweto a locale heavy in symbolism as the
black township that was at the center of the violent
struggle against the racist system.
The 95,000-capacity soccer venue was also the
spot where Mandela made his last public appear-
ance at the closing ceremony of the 2010 World
Cup. His body will then lie in state for three days
at the Union Buildings in Pretoria once the
seat of white power before burial Sunday in his
rural childhood village of Qunu in Eastern Cape
Province.
Riot police storm opposition
offices in Ukraine
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) Heavily armed riot troops
broke into the offices of a top Ukrainian opposition
party in Kiev and seized its servers Monday, the
party said, as anti-government protests crippled
the capital for yet another day.
Elsewhere police dismantled or blocked off
several small protest tent camps that near key
national government buildings in the city.
Tensions also rose as a double cordon of hel-
meted, shield-holding police deployed in the
street near Kievs city administration building,
which demonstrators had occupied and turned
into a makeshift command post and dormitory.
Canada plans claim that would
include North Pole
TORONTO (AP) Canadas foreign minister
says the country intends to extend its seabed
claims in the Arctic to include the North Pole.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Mon-
day that the government has asked scientists to
work on a future submission to the United Nations
claiming that the outer limits of its continental
shelf include the pole.
Canada last week applied to extend its seabed
claims in the Atlantic, including some preliminary
Arctic claims.
Countries including the U.S. and Russia are
increasingly looking to the Arctic as a source of
natural resources, including oil and gas, and ship-
ping lanes.
Canadas claim was submitted to the U.N.
Nations Commission on the Limits of the Conti-
nental Shelf. No government currently has sover-
eignty over the North Pole.
Egypt Brotherhood leader denies
inciting violence
CAIRO (AP) The leader of Egypts Muslim
Brotherhood denied his group was to blame for
violence as he appeared in court Monday for the
first time since being detained following the ouster
of the Islamist president last summer.
The trial against Mohammed Badie and other
senior Islamists comes as authorities tighten a
crackdown on dissent, arresting dozens of protest-
ers in a raid on Al-Azhar University, Sunni Islams
most prominent educational institution.
In a sign of increasing intolerance for demon-
strations and the widening of a crackdown, pros-
ecutors have also sent two dozen secular activists,
including one of Egypts most prominent bloggers,
to trial on charges of violating a new law that
restricts protests.

Report: Inspectors begin
Iran plant visit
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Iranian state TV is
reporting that inspectors from the U.N. nucle-
ar watchdog have begun their visit to a heavy
water production plant that Iran agreed to open to
inspection last month.
The Sunday report quotes Behrouz Kamalvan-
di, who is spokesman of Irans nuclear depart-
ment, as saying the two inspectors are at Arak
heavy water production plant, some 150 miles
southwest of Tehran.
Inspectors from the International Atomic Ener-
gy Agency, the IAEA, had visited the site twice over
the past years.
Hagel warns Pakistan leaders
over border protests
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) Defense Secre-
tary Chuck Hagel warned Pakistani leaders Mon-
day that if they dont resolve protests stalling
some military shipments across the border with
Afghanistan, it could be difficult to maintain polit-
ical support in Washington for an aid program that
has sent billions of dollars to Islamabad, defense
officials said.
In response, the officials said, Hagel received
assurances from the Pakistanis that they would
take immediate action to resolve the shipment
problem.

There are several good reasons to do your
Christmas shopping right here at home this year,
and convenience is one of them. Theres a whole
world of shopping right here in Jefferson Cityjust
a few minutes from your front doorstep. Shopping
at home means you can drop by your favorite shop
for a few minutes at lunch or right after work. You
dont have to shop until you drop at a hectic
mega-mall on a crowded Saturday afternoon.
Instead, you can leisurely browse through your
friendly neighborhood stores for a few hours, meet
your spouse or a friend for a relaxing lunch, head
home to watch some football or take a nap, and go
back at it later in the day.

And thats just one of the many reasons to shop
at home this Christmas season. There are many
others, such as:

Friends. Wouldnt you rather support your friends
while making your holiday purchases? These are
the folks sitting next to you at church or at your
childs softball game. Theyre the ones donating to
your clubs fund-raising drive. And they depend
on you for their livelihood. By spending your
dollars here in town, you support them directly or
indirectly.

Return. When you shop at home, your dollars
turn over many times right here in your community.
And they eventually come back to you.

Service. Good ole hometown service is hard to
beat. It certainly wont be found at some mega-
mall where frenzied customers and stressed store
employees conspire to take the fun out of holiday
shopping. Only here at your favorite hometown
businesses does the smiling sales clerk know your
wifes dress size or what tool sets your husband has
been eyeing.

And, of course, there are Santa Bucks.

Redeem Project has
lined up matching
donations
By Olivia Ingle
olivia@newstribune.com
Fifteen Cole County families
and eight children from the states
Division of Family Services remain
on The Redeem Projects Hope for
Christmas adoption list.
In November, the list consisted
of 847 families across 25 Missouri
counties.
The Redeem Project is a faith-
based nonprofit that offers informa-
tion for community resources and
collaborates with other community
agencies to serve project participants.
The Hope for Christmas program
allows families, community mem-
bers and groups to adopt families for
Christmas.
These families are all suffering
some kind of loss or medical issue,
said Vicki Bullock, executive direc-
tor of The Redeem Project. Sever-
al have actually been volunteers or
donors in previous years.
She said The Redeem Project is
looking for people to adopt the fam-
ilies within the next week and buy
them gifts for Christmas, or to make
a monetary donation to meet their
needs.
An anonymous donor is match-
ing all donations and if that money
is spent at two local retailers, those
stores are matching the money spent.
Bullock said the agency is also
looking for volunteers to help wrap
the gifts this week and to help deliv-
er them next week.
If you would like to adopt a family
or volunteer with The Redeem Proj-
ect, contact Bullock at 635-2083.

Nightmare to mural to dream
Starving Artist hopes to
raise funds for Wounded
Warrior Project
By Olivia Ingle
olivia@newstribune.com
It all started with a nightmare when
Dennis Holliday was 6 years old.
It depicted the Messiah, an earth-
quake, alligators and snakes.
The same nightmare returned
four years ago and wouldnt go away.
It became more frequent, and Holliday
couldnt avoid it.
I thought that maybe Im supposed to
paint this, said 60-year-old Holliday. I
didnt know why, but I was going to do it.
I just knew I was supposed to.
Holliday is known around town as the
Starving Artist. He was once a teacher
and owned a construction business.
His idea for the Messiah painting
turned into a plan for a mural. He start-
ed building it in June 2012, and started
assembling it on an outer wall of his art
gallery that August. His art gallery is locat-
ed at 605 Heisinger Road, visible from
Missouri Boulevard, just behind Captain
Ds.
I put it up and then painted it, he said
of the installment.

Kelly Services
for substitutes
Health insurance might
apply to regular subs
By Kris Hilgedick
kris@newstribune.com
Prompted by changes stemming
from the Affordable Care Act, the Jef-
ferson City Board of Education on
Monday night contemplated hiring an
outside contractor Kelly Services, a
temporary staffing agency to pro-
vide substitute teachers for the district.
For the most part, we will be
unscathed, Chief Financial Office
Jason Hoffman told the board. But
one area were concerned about is the
employer mandate to provide health
care insurance to all employees work-
ing more than 30 hours a week.
Hoffman noted, historically, the
district has offered health care to
employees who work more than 20
hours a week, but not to substitutes.
I dont know a single district that
does that, Hoffman added.
Based on recent data, he estimat-
ed 25 individuals would qualify for
insurance, meaning the district may
have to extend a $6,000 benefit to
each of those individuals at a cost
of about $150,000. Hoffman said hes
concerned from a fiscal perspective
because its likely more substitutes will
want to work more hours once they
realize health insurance is available.
He noted the district has four
options: either include the substi-
tute teachers in the districts health
care program; refuse to comply with
the federal law; restrict people to
only 28 hours of work weekly; or hire
Kelly Services.
He noted failing to comply with
the law isnt realistic because the
district would incur millions in pen-
alties. And he added the district
needs to be able to hire longer-term
substitutes to cover extended sick

Holts Summit board mulls sewer mandate
Amendment on zoning
reform tabled
By Dean Asher
For the News Tribune
Though the city tabled the motion, the Holts
Summit Board of Aldermen discussed the future of
the citys sewage treatment facility during its meet-
ing Monday night.
Over three scheduled public hearings through-
out the meeting lead by Chad Sayre, a represen-
tative from the citys contracted engineering firm
Allstate Consultants, aldermen heard about the
various alternatives and solutions for replacing
their wastewater treatment plant to meet Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency standards, the envi-
ronmental impact the project would have and the
effect it would have on ratepayers.
Sayre said the city had two viable options: build
a new wastewater facility through a voter-approved
$7 million bond issue, or enter into a sustainable
long-term contract with Jefferson City for the treat-
ment of the citys wastewater.
Holts Summits current all-metal wastewater
treatment plant, which Sayre said was about 20
years old when the city purchased it that many
years ago, has aged and outlived its useful life.
Sayre said building a new facility would have
minor short-term environmental impact such as
dirt and invasive construction and would poten-
tially have minor impact on a small portion of

NEUENSCHWANDER
Kenneth Eugene Neuenschwander, age 87, a native son of
Osawatomie, Kan., died Sunday, December 1, 2013, of in-
firmities at the Life Care Center of Osawatomie.
Ken, as he was known to family and friends, was born March
29, 1926, in Osawatomie, the fourth of five
children of Orie F. and Mabel (Bachman)
Neuenschwander.
He grew up in Osawatomie and attended
Osawatomie schools graduating from
Osawatomie High School in the class of 1944.
Upon graduation, Ken was accepted into the
Army Air Corps and was called to duty in
Amarillo, Texas in August of 1944. He was hon-
orably discharged in December of that year
after suffering a training injury.
Upon his return to Osawatomie, he worked for a short time
on the Missouri Pacific Railroad as a fireman.
On May 24, 1945, he married Ona Mae Hays at the First
Methodist Church of Osawatomie in a ceremony officiated by
the Reverend Max Barnes. The couple moved to Manhattan,
Kan. where Ken attended Kansas State University. Ken joined
the First Methodist Church there. He completed his course work
in only three years and graduated in 1948 with a Bachelor's De-
gree in Business Administration.
After graduation, Ken and Ona Mae moved the family to
Tulsa, Okla. where Ken worked as an accountant for two oil
companies. They moved to Jefferson City, Mo. in 1968 when he
accepted a position as Auditor for the Missouri Public Service
Commission, a state agency that regulates public utilities.
When he retired, Ken and Ona Mae moved back to the family
home in 1996 at 1016 Walnut in Osawatomie where he worked
for the betterment of his home town. He ran for a seat on the
City Council and was otherwise active politically.
Ken was a loyal husband and father who loved spending time
with his children. He supported their education and
extracurricular activities including scouting, hunting, fishing
and camping. He enjoyed cooking, barbeques and picnics. He
was proud of his Swiss-Mennonite heritage and made numerous
trips with his family to learn about family history. He taught
himself German and traveled to Germany and Switzerland even
visiting the village of Neuenschwand from which his family de-
rived its name. He loved cats, enjoyed his friends and cultivated
a lifelong passion as a K-State Wildcat fan.
Ken is survived by his wife of 68 years, Ona Mae (Hays); five
children, Thomas Hays Neuenschwander of Kenton, Okla.,
Elaine Neuenschwander of Lawrence, Kan., Kathleen (Michael)
Shipley of Kirkwood, Mo., Marlene Neuenschwander of
Lawrence, Kan., David Eric Neuenschwander of Kirkwood, Mo.;

ton, Iowa, and Walter Teal of Lawrence, Kan.; and two sisters:
Thelma (Neuenschwander) Duncan of Osawatomie, Kan. and
Doris (Neuenschwander) Kreiger of Silverton, Ore.
Ken was preceded in death by a son, Michael Gene
Neuenschwander of Kodiak, Alaska in 1978; and two sisters:
Betty Lorene Neuenschwander of Osawatomie, Kan. in 1929 and
Maxine (Neuenschwander) Long of Chico, Calif. in 2013.
Mr. Neuenschwander's cremains will be interred at a
Memorial Service to be held at a later date.

A Jefferson City man is facing
two counts of statutory sodomy
for having sexual intercourse
with a girl under the age of 14.
Christopher Newby, 23, is
also charged with second-degree
burglary and felony stealing.
Court records show the inci-
dents occurred between Nov. 1
and Dec. 1.
After being arrested, Newby
admitted to having sex with the
girl at a residence on Monroe
Street.
The other incident occurred
at an abandoned residence on
East Capitol Avenue, which he
broke into to gain entry.
Newby also admitted to tak-
ing a laptop computer from a
friend and pawned it, using
the money to buy K2, which he
smoked with several people.
Newby has no permanent
address and was found guilty
of second-degree child moles-
tation in July.
By the News Tribune
A Russellville man charged
with holding a man in Eldon
against his will in December
2012 has been placed on five
years supervised probation.
Christopher Whittle, 21, was
in court Monday in Miller Coun-
ty, where he was charged with
felonious restraint, amended
from kidnapping, and unlawful
use of a weapon.
A charge of armed criminal
action was dismissed.
According to a Missouri
Highway Patrol probable cause
statement, Whittle had taken
the victim at knifepoint from a
residence on Route CC.
The victim had called a
friend to say he had been beat-
en up and was being held for
ransom.
Phone messages were
recorded which indicated
Whittle had called the victims
friend, threatening him and
confirming he had the victim
as a hostage and would cause
the victim either serious injury
or death.
Authorities discovered
where the victim was being
held and found him, along with
Whittle who was hiding in the
attic.
Local man charged with sodomy, theft
Area man gets probation for felonious restraint
He said the mural, which
measures 30 feet by 35 feet, is
comprised of seven panels that
are 30 feet by 52 inches. Placed
one above the other, they depict
a scene of the Messiah walking
down steps hit by an earthquake.
A snake lies coiled on the steps.
Lost souls hang from the wreck-
age.
Holliday said his goal is to
sell the mural to raise funds for
the Wounded Warrior Project
both the state and national orga-
nization.
My father was in the Korean
War, and my sons a Marine,
Holliday said. This is really
important to me.
He said he noticed that his
father never wanted to talk
about war when Holliday was
growing up.
I could feel it bothered
him that he had to kill some-
one, Holliday said. It got me
to thinking about what they go
through.
He said he has $7,000-$10,000
in the project, but the mural
should sell for much more.
He said hed like to sell it
as soon as possible in order
to avoid it sitting in the winter
weather for a second year.
He will continue to add detail
to the mural until its sold.
Until its gone, it will never
be finished, he said. As an art-
ist, you keep seeing things.
If you would like more infor-
mation about the mural or know
any Wounded Warriors to help
market the painting, contact
Holliday at 645-2734.

VIEWPOINT
Job market
shows signs
of strength
The jobless rate fell to 7 per-
cent in November, its lowest in
five years, down from 7.3 percent
in October, a fairly steep drop as
these things are measured.
This time, the good news was
not diluted by the usual statistical
caveats the workforce is shrink-
ing, workers have given up looking
and thus arent reflected in the fig-
ures, what little growth there is has
been in low-wage jobs, the decline
only looks good because the rest of
the economy is flat.
The economy added 203,000
jobs last month, for a four-month
average of 204,000 August through
November. The 200,000 level is
where the employment situation
begins making real progress. The
rate was 159,000 a month April
through July.
One positive sign was that
high-paying industries added
more jobs
27,000 in
ma n u f a c -
turing and
17,000 in
construction.
Those well-
paid jobs
are vital to
the recovery
because the
people who
hold them
tend to spend
more and in our consumer-driven
economy more spending means
faster growth.
But, as the Associated Press
noted, Roughly half the jobs that
were added in the last six months
through October were in four low-
wage industries: retail; hotels,
restaurants and entertainment;
temp jobs; and home health care
workers.
Labor organizers and fast-food
workers have orchestrated a drive
to raise the federal minimum wage
from $7.25 an hour to, ideally, $15
an hour, but the drive seems to
have gathered little traction and,
further, faces opposition in the U.S.
House.
Robust economic growth might
change that equation and the
economy did grow at a healthy 3.6
percent in the July to September
quarter but it wasnt matched by
an accompanying growth in con-
sumer spending which grew at its
slowest pace since 2009.
At the other end of the eco-
nomic scale, Wall Street is anxious
for some indication of how long
the Fed will keep up its $85 billion
a month bond-buying program, a
stimulus measure in effect since
September 2012.
Outgoing Fed chairman Ben
Bernanke has said the Fed would
end the purchases once the unem-
ployment rate hit 7 percent; other
members of the central bank
would hold out until the rate
reached 6.5 percent. In either case,
the Fed seems in no hurry to make
a decision, although it could begin
tapering off its purchases after it
meets later this month.
However we got there, that 7
percent figure has been a long time
coming. Perhaps a rate in the 6
percent range wont take as long.
Maybe in the new year.

Comment at
newstribune.com
By Ann McFeatters
WASHNGTON In a burst of affronted dignity, House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, challenged us, the people,
to look at all the legislation the House has passed this
year. He suggested wed be impressed.
Strangely, this followed an earlier outburst in which
our speaker boasted that its a good thing Congress
doesnt pass a lot of bills because, really, there are too
many laws already.
Actually, Boehner said Congress should be judged on
how many laws it repeals.
But never mind. Boehners a pol, entitled to change
his opinion from week to week. Usually, his eyes moist-
en considerably when he does it, so it makes us a little
uneasy to focus on this.
We all know the House voted at least 40 times to repeal
Obamacare, a repeatedly symbol-
ic move because the Democratic
majority in the Senate will not vote
for repeal, nor would President
Obama sign it. So its moot.
At any rate, we decided to focus
our attention on the 56 bills that
as of the first of December actual-
ly have become law. Perhaps this
will explain the roughly $6 billion
we spend each year on members
of Congress, counting health and
retirement benefits.
The first law of the year, passed
two and a half months after Hurri-
cane Sandy devastated the Northeast, was to temporarily
let the government borrow money to pay national flood
insurance claims. Later Congress voted for hurricane
disaster relief. This was controversial but good, although
many victims have yet to be paid.
The next temporary thing Congress did was to raise
the debt ceiling to enable the government to pay debts
Congress already has incurred. This was extremely con-
troversial, so it was temporary.
The next measure passed by Congress was to extend
the 1994 law forbidding violence against women. This,
too, was controversial for some reason having to do with
not interfering with tribal laws.
Other laws beefed up the Public Health Services ability
to deal with pandemics, permitted the District of Colum-
bia to carry out the citys financial duties if the financial
officer has been fired and kept a lot of small airports from
closing because Congress previously cut funding for the
Federal Aviation Administration.
There was a lot of talk in Congress about medals. One
law specifies the amount of precious-metal blanks per-
mitted in National Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative
coins. The four girls killed in the Sixteenth Street Baptist
Church bombing 50 years ago were awarded Congressio-
nal Gold Medals as were those in the First Special Service
Force in World War II. The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 makes
clear it is punishable fraud to falsely claim you have a
military medal, badge or ribbon.
Stan Musial got his name on the Interstate 70 bridge
across the Mississippi River, while section 219(c) of the
IRS Code was named the Kay Bailey Hutchison Spousal
IRA. Patricia Clark, Douglas Munro and C.W. Bill Young
also got their names on federal
facilities.
Lest we forget, the Army Corps
of Engineers got its comeuppance
in the Freedom to Fish Act, which
forbids the mighty corps from ban-
ning fishing below a dam.
By now you are probably
thinking that you, along with 91
percent of the public, may have
been too harsh in judging this the
do-nothingest Congress ever. After
all, 6,375 bills and resolutions
were introduced although only the
aforementioned 56 became law.
Dont forget Congress shut down the government for
two weeks, although that ended up costing the econo-
my about $29 billion. Were still waiting for Ted Cruz to
explain what the point was.
We are left with questions:
Why do we have to pay Congress $6 billion a year?
What about the unpassed farm and immigration bills?
Why no federal budget in years?
Must we have another mind-numbing debate in the
House about raising the debt ceiling? Really, John Boeh-
ner? Really?
And who are those 9 percent who approve the job
Congress is doing?

ly controversial, so it was

Is happiness a
federal issue?
Happiness is finding a pencil./Pizza
with sausage./Telling the time.
Lyrics for Happiness is from Youre
a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
The News Tribune
The Peanuts gang may have definite
ideas about what happiness is, but does
government?
A recent report from the National
Academy of Sciences advises the federal
government to survey its citizens to mea-
sure their happiness.
Is a happiness index a worthwhile
government function?
The academy a panel of econo-
mists, psychologists and other experts
thinks so.
Chairman Arthur Stone, a psychology
professor at New Yorks Stony Brook Uni-
versity, references the misery index, an
economic gauge of unemployment and
inflation rates. He said a more accurate
assessment of misery also would include
the question: How much suffering is
going on?
The panel suggests that although gov-
ernment may be adept at compiling sta-
tistics and data, it is less in touch with
human feelings and emotions.
A suggested survey of happiness
might ask us how often we smiled, were
stressed, laughed or suffered pain.
Similar surveys exist, including those
conducted at the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver. John Helliwell,
an economist at the institution, said the
United States ranked 17th behind
Denmark and other European countries,
Canada, Israel and Mexico in an inter-
national survey released in September.
And, according to another song lyric,
the notion that money cant buy happi-
ness apparently is on target.
Carol Graham, an author and econ-
omist at the Brookings Institute, said
research shows that after people make a
comfortable amount of money, wealth
doesnt translate into happiness.
The case can be made that govern-
ments on federal, state and local levels
do much to address happiness, indi-
rectly, if not directly.
A sampling includes: Social Security
for retirees; social services for people in
need; health and mental health services;
public safety programs and quality-of-life
initiatives (conservation, parks, historic
preservation).
We believe government should avoid
spending time, energy and money ana-
lyzing situations it does not intend to do
anything about.
We certainly do not envision a U.S.
Department of Happiness being able to
efficiently and effectively improve public
happiness.
Happiness, largely, is a feeling gen-
erated from within and nourished by a
positive and grateful attitude.
On this issue, the Peanuts gang has
more to tell us than the federal govern-
ment.

and more accessible, whether
its the class or off-season teams
after school.
The power rack system
allows athletes to use multi-
ple exercises on one piece of
machinery, said athletic direc-
tor Lucas Branson.
Most booster club purchases
are spread around to individual
team sports.
This benefits every team,
Branson said. Everybody sees
the need for our athletes to be on
the same competitive level.
The weight room is another
example of the culture change
within the Russellville school,
said principal Heath Waters.
A fresh coat of paint, with fea-
tures provided by the art classes,
was the finishing touch.
Now students and athletes
are taking pride in their facilities
and accepting individual chal-
lenges of success.
In the body conditioning
classes, Wenkel has established
school records for different feats
and weight classes.
At the end
of September, Wenkel sat down
with each student to work out
their personal short-term and
long-term goals. Most of the
students already have met their
short-term goals, he said.
Most of the time, theyre
pushing and encouraging one
another, Wenkel said.
Sophomore Chris Wolfe was
proud of completing seven pull-
ups recently, up from his origi-
nal three in September.
And senior Johnathan Thom-
as hopes he can increase his
bench press weight by three
pounds before he graduates.
Adding body conditioning to
his class schedule was a decision
to become more physically fit,
Thomas said.
Once in the class, he dis-
covered he enjoys the personal
challenge.
I feel stronger, Thomas said.
And I have more confidence.
The class focuses more on
anaerobic activities. They start
with static stretches and a
dynamic warm-up.
And they always end with
stretching.
Youve gotta stretch or you
could get hurt, Wolfe said.
For Wenkel, this is his
ninth year in the classroom,
but his first at Russellville.
For our size school, this
equipment is exceptional, Wen-
kel said. And the facilities in
general are good.
Weve got everything we
need.
So, at the beginning of the
school year, Wenkel set students
up with the basic tools they would
need to be successful, such as
safety tips and proper form.
What Wenkel has been equal-
ly impressed with is the student
respect.
The administration expects
a lot out of them, he said.
Weight-lifting is a lifetime
skill.
Several of the body condi-
tioning students have joined a
gym or bought equipment for
home, too, Wenkel said.
In semesters to come, Wenkel
hopes to see the body condi-
tioning classes grow in popular-
ity. As students become more
skilled, he has more workouts
which could be added, such as
the Olympic-style power cling.
For athletes, body condition-
ing helps with strength, flexibili-
ty and injury prevention, Wenkel
said.
Athletes today are stronger
than athletes 20 years ago, he
said. I think thats due to weight
lifting.

leaves and teacher pregnancies.
On any given day, about 70
people roughly 10-11 percent
of the districts faculty are
replacing teachers who need
time away from their class-
rooms.
In the past the districts fill rate
the number of vacancies the
district tries to fill has hovered
between 96 to 98 percent. This year
its down to 94 percent, said Penny
Rector, the districts in-house law-
yer and human resources director.
She added the number of avail-
able substitute teachers has dipped
because they are being asked to
undergo a six-hour online training
course and the state has institut-
ed a $50 fee in order to substitute
teach in the public schools.
We need to reach a 100 per-
cent fill-rate, Rector told the board.
Kelly Services, Inc., is a global
employment agency and recruit-
ment company headquartered
in Troy, Michigan. The compa-
ny hires more than 530,000 peo-
ple annually in dozens of fields,
including education. The closest
local office is in Columbia, but
Hoffman said, if the Jefferson City
school district awards the compa-
ny a contract, Kelly managers will
open an office in the Capital City.
When compared with the
expense of including substitute
teachers in the districts health
care plan, Hoffman said hiring
Kelly Services would likely either
be a wash or cost a little less.
The Jefferson City Public Schools
is a self-insured district.
He noted other districts
Springfield, Columbia, Hallsville
and North Kansas City have
turned to Kelly to find trained
and dependable substitute teach-
ers.
He said that the districts sub-
stitutes will not notice a change
in their pay because Kelly will
pay the same rate and charge the
district a fee above that rate. The
company will also provide the
temporary workers health insur-
ance, he noted.
They say, If you substitute
teach one day, you qualify for
health insurance. They do that
because they want to draw in
high-quality candidates, Hoff-
man said.
Both Rector and Hoffman
said they see the change as an
opportunity to improve the
ranks of substitute teachers.
Board member John Ruth
asked staff if they felt Kellys
price might rise over time. If we
had a year-to-year contract with
the option to renew that would
alleviate my concern, Ruth said.
We need substitutes who
can come in and not miss a
beat, Rector said.
The board is expected to
vote on the idea at their January
board meeting.
In other business, the board:

floodplain, but either option
would have significant envi-
ronmental improvement to the
current streams and tributaries
used to dump effluence treat-
ed water output from the plant.
Sayre said whether the city
chose to treat its own wastewa-
ter or do so in Jefferson City, the
difference would be most notice-
able to ratepayers.
(With a local treatment
plant) the estimated addition-
al cost for users is about $17
to $24 per customer for 5,000
gallons of water, Sayre said.
Thats a cost range of about $56
to $64 depending on variables
such as construction, loan terms
and grants. If Jefferson City is
approved, rates are projected to
be lower than the alternative of
building a new plant (at about)
$47 to $56.
The citys financial adviser
also reported that his recom-
mendation would be to agree
to a contract with Jefferson City,
stating that relying on revolving
loans from state agencies would
be more costly in the long-term
to ratepayers, and that if the proj-
ect were to exceed the $7 million
mark additional, more expensive
funding avenues would need to
be used.
The board of aldermen ulti-
mately tabled the motion to
accept the Jefferson City con-
tract in order to wait for pend-
ing information from funding
agencies and for Jefferson City
Councils approval at its upcom-
ing meeting Dec. 16.
The board also had lengthy
discussion on a need for com-
prehensive zoning reform, fol-
lowing a public hearing on a pro-
posed amendment to the citys
current zoning code that was
also ultimately tabled.
Ward II Alderman Thom-
as Durham had originally pro-
posed an amendment to the
existing zoning code that would
change the language regarding
multi-family residential dis-
tricts within city limits. Current
verbiage states that any con-
ditional use of the RD District
is allowed, while the proposed
amendment would change the
ordinance language to state any
permitted use.
In practical terms, Durham
felt that the current verbiage
was too exclusionary. That par-
ticular discussion came about
regarding problems with a par-
ticular tenant, who Durham
said is being denied the ability
to operate a home business due
to how the tenants home was
zoned.
Durham said the amendment
was meant to be a temporary
fix until a more-comprehensive
rezoning ordinance could be
done next year.
City Attorney Kent Brown
said that theres no temporary
in zoning, noting that if they
opened it up now by way of an
amendment, an undesirable
business could open in a resi-
dential area and remain even
after the city goes back a year
from now, changing (zoning
code) to the way it should be.
City Administrator Brian
Crane said that rezoning leg-
islation could take six years at
least, and the board agreed to
table that discussion until Crane
could meet and discuss options
with the Planning and Zoning
Commission.

JEFFERSON CITY (AP)
The Missouri Supreme Court on
Monday set a January execution
date for an inmate convicted in
the 1991 robbery and slaying of a
St. Louis-area jeweler.
Herbert Smulls, 55, is sched-
uled to die Jan. 29 for the fatal
shooting of Chesterfield jew-
eler Stephen Honickman while
Smulls and an accomplice were
robbing the store owned by Hon-
ickman and his wife, Florence
Honickman.
Smulls attorney, Charles
Rogers, said Mondays
announcement wasnt expected.
We were utterly taken by
surprise when we learned about
it this morning, Rogers said.
Missouri once was among the
most active death penalty states
in the U.S, but there have been
few death sentences carried out
in recent years and legal wran-
gling over execution procedures.
The states Nov. 20 execution of
Joseph Paul Franklin was Mis-
souris first in nearly three years.
Another execution is scheduled
for 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday.
Last months execution was
Missouris using the single drug
pentobarbital. The Department
of Corrections obtains the drug
through a compounding phar-
macy, and few details have been
made public about the compound-
ing pharmacy making it because
it is part of the execution team.
State law provides for privacy for all
associated with executions.
Smulls is one of several death
row inmates who are challenging
Missouris execution method.
Supreme Court sets Jan. 29
execution date

A special legislative session to
approve incentives for a Boe-

The Legislature wrapped up
a five-day special session last
week after passing a bill autho-
rizing up to $1.7 billion of tax
breaks over two decades if Boe-
ing chooses to assemble a new
passenger plane in the St. Louis
area.
The House clerks office said
the special session cost about
$75,000 for members travel and
daily living allowances and extra
operational costs such as print-
ing.
The Senate administrators
office said the special session
cost that chamber about $17,500.
Senate costs are routinely
lower than those in the House,
because the House has almost

The best in the SEC
Missouris Sam voted
top defensive player
in conference this season
By the News Tribune staff
The Missouri Tigers run to the South-
eastern Conference championship game has
reaped some individual awards.
A total of seven Tigers made the Associ-
ated Press All-SEC team released Monday.
Four of the Tigers were first-team picks,
while two were on the second team and the
other was honorable mention.
Michael Sam, a senior defensive end, led
the Missouri contingent by being named the
SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
Sam led the conference in sacks with
10.5 and tackles for loss with 18, ranking in
the top 10 nationally in both categories in
the NCAA. He is the second Missouri player
to earn conference defensive player of the
year honors from the Associated Press. Jeff
Gaylord won the award from the Big Eight
Conference in 1981.
Two of Sams teammates on the defen-
sive side were also first-team selections
E.J. Gaines, a senior cornerback, and junior
defensive end Kony Ealy.
It is the second first-team all-conference
honor for Gaines, who was named to the
Big 12 squad as a sophomore in 2011. He
played 11 games this season, finishing third
on the team with 65 total tackles, with four
for loss. Gaines also led Missouri with four
interceptions.
Ealy finished with 7.5 sacks and 12.5 tack-
les for loss for the Tigers.
Justin Britt, a senior lineman, was the
lone first-team Tiger on the offensive side.
Britt, the starting left tackle, helped pave the
way for an offense that averaged 39 points
and nearly 500 yards per game.
Making the second team for the Tigers
were senior linebacker Andrew Wil-
son and sophomore wide receiver Dorial
Green-Beckham.
Wilson led the Tigers in total tackles with
98 this season, the third straight season hes
topped the team in stops.
Green-Beckham finished with 55 recep-
tions for 830 yards and 12 touchdowns,
which tied him for the most scores in the
conference.
Markus Golden is a third Missouri defen-
sive end to be recognized, making the hon-
orable mention squad. Despite not getting
a start, Golden finished with 6.5 sacks, 13
tackles for loss and was seventh on the team
in tackles with 51.

Former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was elected to
the baseball Hall of Fame on Monday.
La Russa hopes for future
club executive job
ST. LOUIS (AP) Tony La Russa noticed
a change between his first game as a big-
league manager in 1979 and his last in 2011.
I was right at the beginning of guaran-
teed contracts. So right away, players had
security, potential security, and they were
motivated by, Get yours. Get yours, he said.
And then the media ESPN started in
September of 79 , he went on. There was
all kind of distractions. Fame and fortune. So
what I really believed, and this is something
we learned over time, leadership is more
important than ever in professional sports.
After leading Oakland to the 1989 World
Series title and St. Louis to a pair of cham-
pionships in 2006 and 11, La Russa was
unanimously elected Monday to baseballs
Hall of Fame along with former managerial
colleagues Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.
In the sabermetric age, La Russa was a
bit of a throwback. He was part of the revo-
lution of batter-pitcher matchups, creating
the one-inning closer with Dennis Eckersley.
But he was dismissive of a Moneyball cul-
ture valuing esoteric statistical data in favor
of trusting what he saw.
The metrics part of it is a really good
preparation tool, but when you start replac-
ing the manager, his decision-making, what
youre doing is undercutting his oppor-
tunity to earn respect, and his leadership
gets affected, he said. Because who gets
the credit for those decisions? Thats 180
degrees the wrong place. So leadership is
more important. The more than you can
support your leader, which is the coaching
staff and manager, the better chance you
have to win.
Ever intense, the 69-year-old La Russa
has spent the last two years as an adviser to
baseball commissioner Bud Selig. La Russa
would like to become a club executive.
I miss the winning and losing, he said
after his election was announced at the base-
ball winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista,
Fla. Some day Ill be with a team, I think.
Id like to be part of the competition again.
Even with a large lead, there was no let
up in La Russas dugout. Lips tightly pursed,
he pondered the possibilities from his spot
in the corner nearest the steps to the club-
house.
An innovator, he batted his pitcher eighth
in the batting order 432 times, ostensibly to
set up a more favorable scenario for Albert
Pujols.
Until La Russa made his final move, walk-
ing off from the 2011 World Series parade
into retirement, the guard never really came
down. And in some ways it still hasnt, as
Headed to the Hall of Fame

Crusaders finally
hit the floor tongiht
By Tony Hawley
sports@newstribune.com
You think waiting to open
your Christmas presents is hard?
Try doing the kind of waiting the
Helias boys basketball team has
done.
When the Crusaders finally
take to the court today in a 7:30
p.m. home game against Battle,
there wont be many teams in
the state who have waited longer
to play their openers.
The first allowable date to
play a game was way back on
Nov. 25. Now, 15 days later, the
Crusaders are finally taking to
the hardwood.
You can look at it two dif-
ferent ways, Helias coach Josh
Buffington said. One, weve had
five weeks to prepare for our first
game, which is a lot, and take it
as a positive. Or you can look
at it as a negative because its
hard to keep 16-, 17-year-olds
focused for five straight weeks
without playing someone else.
That setup has caused the
coaching staff to work hard to
keep things fresh.
Weve definitely had to be
creative with our practice plans
and with how weve prepared,
Buffington said. Weve been
able to shorten practices a little
at times, maybe give them a day
off here or there where you typi-
cally wouldnt do it with just two
or three weeks to prepare.
One benefit is the Crusaders
had a little extra time to indoc-
trinate the players who came
from the football team, which
made another one of its lengthy
appearances in the state play-
offs.
In my five years here, Im
getting used to deep runs by the
football team and short starts on
ours, Buffington said. So its
definitely worked to our benefit
with the later start. Its maybe
something well look into doing
regularly in the future.

Polowy scores 43 points
for Lady Falcons in win
By Adam Stillman
sports@newstribune.com
WARDSVILLE LeeAnn Polowy has
always enjoyed shooting at the Blair Oaks gym.
The Lady Falcons senior loved it Monday
night.
I like shooting on these rims a lot better
than other schools, Polowy said after pouring
in a school-record 43 points in Blair Oaks
70-59 victory against Fulton on Monday night.
Im just used to it. Ive been here since kin-
dergarten shooting on these same old rims. Its
a lot better than traveling to different places.
Last week wasnt my week, I wasnt shooting
very well.
Blair Oaks was on the road last week at the
Eugene Invitational. Home has never been
sweeter for Polowy than it is against the Lady
Hornets.
After tying the school record of 32 points
her sophomore season against Fulton a
benchmark equaled by Sharon Verslues and
Kelly Rackers Polowy shattered the mark
this time around.
Im just glad we got a win, the Missouri
State signee said. Its exciting. I have a lot of
goals that I shoot for. Thats been one of them.
Its a good little milestone.
It was Polowys night from the get-go.
The Blair Oaks guard hit her first four shots
including a pair of 3-pointers while
scoring 11 points in the first three minutes
of the contest against Fultons 2-3 zone. That
little barrage handed the Lady Falcons a
13-2 advantage, prompting a Fulton timeout.

CHICAGO (AP) Josh
McCown threw for a career-
high four touchdowns, and
the Chicago Bears scored on
their first eight possessions
to grab a share of the NFC
North lead with a 45-28 vic-
tory over the Dallas Cow-
boys on a frigid Monday
night.
The Bears (7-6) retired
Hall of Famer Mike Ditkas
number at halftime and
pulled even with Detroit in
the division race on a night
when the wind chill factor
was below zero. Dallas (7-6)
fell a game behind Philadel-
phia in the NFC East.
The conditions didnt
stop McCown from throw-
ing for 348 yards or keep the
Bears from running away
with a lopsided victory after
consecutive losses.
Bears win
on Ditka Day
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)
Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper
Jimmy Nielsen announced his
retirement Monday night, two
days after he made a pair of
dramatic saves in a penalty kick
shootout against Real Salt Lake
to secure his club its first MLS
Cup in more than a decade.
Nielsen made the announce-
ment during a title celebration at
Union Station.
I want to thank the owner-
ship group, my teammates, my
coaches and the entire organiza-
tion for the opportunity to have
four of the best years of my life,
not only mine but my family as
well, here in Kansas City, Niel-
sen said. I will remember these
years forever.
Nielsen kept Sporting KC tied
with Real Salt Lake through reg-
ulation and overtime Saturday
night before making two saves in
the penalty kick shootout. Sport-
ing KC eventually prevailed 7-6
in frigid weather to win its first
league championship since the
2000 season.
Nielsen was so overcome with
emotion following the game he
retreated from the clubs locker
room to a back room, away from
reporters and TV cameras.
To the best soccer fans:
Since Day 1 they have always
been behind me and I want to
thank them for all the support,
Nielsen said. It was the perfect
timing, finishing with a great
championship that the entire
city deserves.
Nielsen began his career in
England and played the majority
of it in his native Denmark, but
said he was at a crossroads in his
career when Sporting KC sought
him out several years ago.
He wound up agreeing to
a contract with the MLS club,
even though he barely knew
where Kansas was on a map, and
instantly became a hit with fans.
Nielsen played every minute of
Sporting KCs last 100 matches,
made two All-Star game appear-
ances and was voted the leagues
top goalkeeper a year ago.
What an incredible way to
end a career, Sporting Club
chief executive Rob Heineman
said in a statement. Jimmy
Nielsen is so important to this
organization on and off the field,
and we look forward to the next
phase of our relationship.

Once football finished, the
basketball team picked up three
varsity and four JV players.
You go in one day from hav-
ing 12 at practice to 19, and you
can get a lot more done with 19,
Buffington said. You like to keep
your guys in their general spots
offensively and defensively, but
when youre missing guys who
are key to those spots, youre
having to play guys at spots
theyre not familiar with. That
can be a positive in that theyre
learning different positions, but
a negative, too, because theyre
not focusing on the spot theyre
going to be playing the majority
of the time.
Much like last year, the Cru-
saders are dealing with injuries
as the season opens. Theyll like
have just seven or eight varsity
players healthy for the first few
games.
Were a little bit snakebit
with some preseason injuries,
Buffington said. But the dif-
ference is this year we can say
we will be 100 percent healthy, it
will just take a little time, where-
as in years past weve lost kids to
season-ending injuries.
Leading the way for this
years team are a pair of juniors
both entering their third year
on the varsity, post player Hale
Hentges and point guard Isiah
Sykes.
Its a great starting point
because youve got your leader
with the ball back, and then you
have the man in the middle,
Buffington said. Those are
two guys we look to as leaders
of the team. Theyve been in the
heat of battle in several clutch
moments.
Helias will also get leader-
ship from its only two seniors,
forward Michael Tannehill and
guard Brock Gerstner, although
Gerstner will not play early in
the season due to an injury suf-
fered in football, just like last
season.
Brock has had a little bit of
bad luck with his injury last year
(shoulder) and again this year
(broken leg). Hes a great tal-
ent out there, can really shoot
the basketball, a heads-up play-
er, Buffington said. And with
Michael, we all know of his ath-
leticism and strength, but most
important with him is hes a
great teammate and does what-
ever the team needs to win.
Joining the 6-foot-5 Hentges
in the frontcourt are a trio of 6-5
players junior Casey McCol-
lum, sophomore Trevor Koelling
and sophomore Adam Bax.
Weve gained some size this
year, Buffington said. We dont
have a 6-8 kid, but weve got four
or five guys hovering around the
6-5 mark.
Also in the mix are guards
Sam Husting (6-1, soph.) and
Alex Barton (5-10, jr.), while
guard/forward Chase Bexten
(6-3, jr.) and guard Collin Cay-
wood (6-2, jr.) will miss the early
going due to illness and injury.
When I came here five years
ago, these guys were all fifth-,
sixth- and seventh-graders and
thats when we started build-
ing relationships with them,
Buffington said. Now as soph-
omores and juniors and a cou-
ple seniors, I think its a group
we see tremendous chemistry
with.

Xcel Silver Division Hayley

qualified for state and third bars;
Audrey Muessig: fifth all-around
(34.475), first bars.
Thered be no more zone after
that from the Lady Hornets.
After I made that first 3 it
kind of set the tone for the rest of
the game, Polowy said. If you
make your first shot you feel a lot
better going into it.
Any time I see a zone I get
really happy because that means
I get open 3s, which doesnt hap-
pen very often. And Im a shoot-
er, so its what I do.
Blair Oaks seemed destined
to run away with the game,
opening an 18-3 advantage. Yet
Fulton used a pair of late 3s to
get within 21-11 after one quar-
ter.
Fulton threw everything
but the kitchen sink at Polowy,
including a box-and-one
defense and giving four different
girls a stab at guarding Polowy
man-to-man.
No dice.
Theres always going to be
a challenge. Its just your men-
tality. It doesnt matter whos on
me, Im still going to try to get to
the rack, either the get the buck-
et or get an assist, find a way for
our team to score, Polowy said.
Fulton crept within 23-17
on a driving layup from Sloane
Totta early in the second peri-
od. Then at 28-21, it was nine
straight points from Polowy
including her second pair of
3s on the night that restored
order. She owned 21 first-half
points as Blair Oaks held a 40-27
halftime advantage.
After Fulton cut the deficit to
44-36 midway through the third
stanza, Polowy unloaded for 11
unanswered points, handing
Blair Oaks a 55-36 lead heading
into the final period. The last
pair of points of that 11-0 surge
for Polowy came on a putback at
the buzzer, giving the guard 32
points on the night.
One more point was all she
needed.
It came at the 5:57 mark, as
determined Polowy drove past
her defender on the wing for a
layup and a foul. The Blair Oaks
student section, clearly aware
she had made history, went ber-
serk.
Everybody was yelling at me
to get it. I wont say what they
were yelling, Polowy said with
a laugh.
With the feel-good story ema-
nating through the gym, Fulton
reminded Blair Oaks there was
still eight minutes to be played.
A 20-6 run from the Lady Hor-
nets made it a 61-56 game with
1:52 left in the contest. Plenty of
time left.
Wed get that good lead and
then wed let them back in, let
them back in, back and forth,
Blair Oaks head coach Leroy
Bernskoetter said. We got up by
double figures how many differ-
ent times, and then we just had
lapses defensively. We did some
good stuff at the right time.
With Fulton threatening to
pull off a miraculous comeback
and spoil the party for Polowy
and the Lady Falcons, it was
none other than the record-set-
ter who set the record straight.
It was Polowy who knocked
down seven free throws over the
final 63 seconds to secure the
victory for Blair Oaks.
Those free throws were
killing me, straight up, Polowy
quipped about her 15-of-22
night at the foul line. If I would
have made my free throws
I could have had a few more
points.
Polowy finished 12-of-21
from the field, including 4-of-8
from beyond the arc, on her way
to a mark that might stand for
quite some time.
LeeAnn just had a career
night, Bernskoetter said. That
shattered the school record.
While no other Lady Falcon
reached double digits, the rest
of the squad combined to go
a respectable 10-of-22 from the
field.
A couple of other girls
stepped up and made some
shots, Bernskoetter said. It
was a pretty good game over-
all, except for we score 70 and
she has 43 of it, I dont know
if that can happen every night.
You dont look for that, but when
those nights happen and theyre
all of a sudden just hitting their
shots, you just ride it out.
NaShayla Brandt led four
Lady Hornets in double fig-
ures with 20. Baileigh Horst-
meier added 12 points and
14 rebounds, while Totta and
Rachel Guse added 11 apiece.
Blair Oaks (3-1) is back at
home Thursday against School
of the Osage.
Im just glad we got a win,
Polowy said.
Blair Oaks won the JV game
48-22. Cassidy Prenger paced
the Lady Falcons with nine
points.
Kris Wilson/News Tribune
Sara Jones of Blair Oaks looks to put up a shot against Rachel Guse of Fulton during
the second quarter Monday night in Wardsville.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP)
The NHL salary cap is expect-
ed to rise to about $71 million
next season, an increase of more
than 10 percent.
NHL commissioner Gary
Bettman made the optimistic
announcement Monday at the
leagues board of governors
meeting. The ceiling of the sal-
ary cap is determined by hock-
ey-related revenue generated
this season, so the new figure
is merely an estimate, Bettman
said.
I said to the board there
shouldnt be any issue or con-
sternation, Bettman said. If
thats the cap level, its because
the revenues have gone up. We
try to give people a sense of
where we think itll come out.
Its subject to a whole host
of issues, ultimately how much
revenue is generated, where the
Canadian dollar is, because we
convert to U.S. dollars. If you
want a rough, rough, rough ball-
park, OK, but it could change.
The minimum amount for
teams to spend is expected to be
about $52 million, an increase
from this seasons $44 million.
The NHL has had a major recov-
ery one season after the lock-
out-shortened campaign.
The upper cap for this season
is $64.3 million.
Teams were allowed to spend
up to $70.2 million during the
lockout-shortened 2013 season
as part of a transition year before
the cap went down in accor-
dance with the 50-50 split of
hockey-related revenue that was
agreed to as part of the new col-
lective bargaining agreement.
Player safety is expected to be
discussed today.

Malzahn highlight
AP All-SEC team
ATLANTA (AP) Auburn
was the only school that didnt
have anyone on last years Asso-
ciated Press All-Southeastern
Conference team. Not surpris-
ing, since the Tigers failed to
win a league game.
What a turnaround for the
Tigers this season, in every
respect.
Running back Tre Mason was
named the offensive player of
the year, Gus Malzahn claimed
the coaching award and the No.
2 Tigers were well represented
on the All-SEC squad after their
amazing run from worst to first.
Also, Missouris Michael Sam
beat out Alabamas C.J. Mosley
for the defensive player of the
year award, while Arkansas run-
ning back Alex Collins took the
honor as top freshman.
Mason was a unanimous
choice at running back and
overwhelming pick as the best
offensive player after rushing
for an SEC-leading 1,621 yards
and 22 touchdowns, capped by
a record 304-yard, four-touch-
down performance against Mis-
souri in the league champion-
ship game.
Malzahn revived the Tigers
(12-1) in his first season as
coach, taking over a proud pro-
gram reeling from a 3-9 season,
including a 0-8 mark in confer-
ence play. He installed a hur-
ry-up spread option that quick-
ly developed into one of the
nations most prolific offenses.
We use last season as moti-
vation, thinking about all the
hard times that we went through
last year and being one of the
worst teams in college football
to now being one of the best,
Mason said.
Auburn proved it was for real
with an upset of Johnny Man-
ziel and the Texas A&M Aggies.
The Tigers caught the biggest
break of the year when a des-
peration fourth-down heave
against Georgia was deflected
by two defenders into a winning
73-yard touchdown. Then they
knocked off two-time defend-
ing national champion Alabama
with the play of the year: a 109-
yard return of a missed field
goal with no time on the clock
for a stunning 34-28 upset.
Last Saturday, the Tigers
defeated Missouri 59-42 in a
shootout for the SEC title, then
slid into a shot at the BCS crown
against top-ranked Florida State
with Ohio States loss in the Big
Ten championship game.
Its just been very unique,
Malzahn said. Its been one of
the more unique experiences
Ive ever been a part of.
Mason was joined on the
first team by two teammates:
offensive tackle Greg Robinson
and defensive end Dee Ford.
Auburn placed three more play-
ers on the second team: center
Reese Dismukes, tight end C.J.
Uzomah and cornerback Chris
Davis, whose long return beat
Alabama.
No. 3 Alabama and SEC East
champ Missouri each had four
players on the first team, more
than any other school.
Denied a chance to play for a
third straight national title, Ala-
bama was led by Mosley a
unanimous choice at linebacker
along with offensive linemen
Cyrus Kouandjio and Anthony
Steen and punter Cody Man-
dell.
Sam, named on every bal-
lot at defensive end, paced the
conference in sacks (10.5) and
tackles behind the line (18.5).
Another Missouri end, Kony
Ealy, also made the first team, as
did cornerback E.J. Gaines and
offensive lineman Justin Britt.
Johnny Manziel repeated as
the first-team quarterback with
another stellar season, leading
the SEC in total yards with 3,732
passing and 686 on the ground.
He accounted for 41 touch-
downs, but a poor defense left
the Aggies with a disappointing
8-4 record.
Texas A&M had two more
representatives from its
high-scoring offense: receiver
Mike Evans and lineman Jake
Matthews.
Georgia, despite an inju-
ry plagued season that didnt
meet expectations, had three
first-teamers with tight end
Arthur Lynch, linebacker Ramik
Wilson and kicker Marshall
Morgan.
The rest of the first-team
offense was Vanderbilt receiver
Jordan Matthews, LSU running
back Jeremy Hill, Mississippi
State lineman Gabe Jackson,
Arkansas center Travis Swan-
son and LSU all-purpose threat
Odell Beckham Jr.
On defense, the remaining
selections were tackle Kelcy
Quarles and end Jadeveon
Clowney of South Carolina,
Tennessee linebacker A.J. John-
son, Florida cornerback Vernon
Hargreaves III, Vanderbilt safety
Kenny Ladler and Mississippi
safety Cody Prewitt.
The team was selected by a
14-member media panel.
Six invited to New York for
Heisman Trophy ceremony
NEW YORK (AP) Jameis Winston will
have plenty of company at the Heisman
Trophy ceremony though hes not
expected to have much competition.
The Florida State quarterback was
among a record-tying six Heisman final-
ists revealed Monday, along with Northern
Illinois Jordan Lynch, Texas A&Ms Johnny
Manziel, Alabamas AJ McCarron, Auburns
Tre Mason and Boston Colleges Andre
Williams.
Six finalists invited to New York for the
presentation are the most since 1994. The
winner will be announced Saturday night.
Winston is the overwhelming favorite
to win the award now that a sexual assault
complaint against him in Tallahassee, Fla.,
has been closed without charges being
filed.
He could also become the second fresh-
man to win the award. Manziel was the first
just last year. Famous Jameis, like Johnny
Football last season, is a redshirt freshman.
While Winston was a lock to be invited,
the rest of the field was muddled. Some
contenders had late stumbles (Manziel and
Lynch), others (Mason and Williams) made
late runs.
Manziel will try to join another exclu-
sive Heisman club by becoming the second
player to win the award twice. Ohio States
Archie Griffin won the award in 1974 and
75. The Aggies quarterback is third in the
nation in total offense with 368 yards per
game.
Lynch led No. 24 Northern Illinois (12-1)
to within a victory of a BCS bid and has set
the major college record for yards rushing
for a quarterback this season with 1,815.
He also tweeted he was a finalist about five
minutes before the official announcement
was made on ESPN by 1996 winner Danny
Wuerffel.
NYC here I come!! Thanks to the coach-
es teammates and media relation couldnt
of did it wt out them! the record-setting
senior posted.
McCarron completed 67 percent of his
passes for 2,676 yards and 26 touchdowns
for the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide (11-1).
This will be my first trip to New York
City, and I cant put into words how much
it means to me, McCarron said in a state-
ment released by the school. I am truly
privileged to have the opportunity to rep-
resent our team at the Heisman ceremony.
None of this would be possible without my
coaches and teammates.
Mason helped No. 2 Auburn reach the
BCS title game, running for 304 yards and
four TDs in the SEC championship game.
He is ninth in the country in rushing (124
ypg).
When I heard the news, I was in disbe-
lief, Mason said in a statement. For me to
be invited to the Heisman ceremony, I am
honored and blessed. I couldnt have done
it without my teammates; this is an honor
for all of them also.
Williams is the nations leading rusher
at 175 yards per game and the 16th player
in FBS to run for 2,000 yards in a season.
Winstons arrival as Florida States
starting quarterback was being touted as
a major event in the spring and he has sur-
passed the hype. The Alabama native is on
pace to break the NCAA record for passer
efficiency rating (190.1) and has already set
records for yards passing (3,820) and TD
passes (38) for a freshman.
Winstons only issues have come off the
field. About a month ago, a year-old sexual
assault complaint against him made by a
female Florida State student was given by
police to the state attorneys office for a full
investigation.
A woman claimed Winston raped her.
Winstons lawyer said the sex was consen-
sual. Winston continued to play, and play
well, during the investigation. Last week,
the state attorney announced there would
be no charges filed in the case, and two
days later Winston threw for three touch-
down passes and ran for a score as No. 1
Florida State won the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference championship game 45-7 against
Duke and wrapped up a spot in the BCS
title game.
In the latest straw poll released Monday
by HeismanPundit.com, which has cor-
rectly predicted the last seven winners,
Winston received seven of the 10 first-place
votes and 26 points to easily outdistance
Lynch (eight points and two first-place
votes).
All six finalists are expected to attend
the ceremony, which would match 1994 for
the most in Heisman history. That season
Colorado tailback Rashaan Salaam won the
Heisman, and Penn States Ki-Jana Carter
and Kerry Collins, along with Alcorn States
Steve McNair, Alabamas Jay Barker and
Miamis Warren Sapp were finalists.
In 1989, eight players were invited to the
ceremony, but only four attended. Among
the missing was Houstons Andre Ware,
who won the award but was preparing for
a game.

NEWS&NOTES
Pittsburgh DT Donald wins
Bronko Nagurski award
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Aaron Don-
ald called it the perfect birthday present for
his father.
The Pittsburgh senior defensive tackle
won the Bronko Nagurski award given to
the nations top college defensive player.
The 6-foot, 285-pound Donald was pre-
sented the award at a ceremony Monday
night in Charlotte.
The ACC Defensive Player of the Year,
Donald averaged 2.2 tackles for loss per
game while ranking 10th in forced fumbles
and 13th in sacks per game.
He had 28 sacks for his career with
one game left to play.
Im just so excited, Donald said. I
think it is a great way for my father to cele-
brate his birthday. And I think its huge for
the University of Pittsburgh. There were so
many people wishing me well.
His father, Archie, turned 48 on Mon-
day.
He was in the audience Monday night to
see his son accept the award.
Donald beat out four other finalists
for the award: Michigan State cornerback
Darqueze Dennard, Florida State lineback-
er Lamarcus Joyner, Alabama linebacker
C.J. Mosley and Missouri defensive end
Michael Sam.
Donalds best game came against Geor-
gia Tech when he had six tackles for a loss
the most by an FBS player this season
and 11 tackles overall. He also had two
sacks against Virginia.
He also had nine tackles and 3 tack-
les for loss and two quarterback hurries
against Syracuse. He also blocked a PAT
which proved to be the decisive point in a
17-16 Pitt victory.
My mentality is to just go 100 miles per
hour every play, Donald said. I went out
there and did the job. We felt short a few
times, but you cant win them all. I think
it is a great reward for all of the hard work
Ive put in.
Said North Carolina coach Larry Fedo-
ra: Hes got that motor that never quits.
South Carolinas Clowney
gets 110 mph ticket
COLUMBIA, S.C. Troopers said
South Carolina star defensive end Jade-
veon Clowney was ticketed for going 110
mph in a 70 mph zone on a South Carolina
interstate.
Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. David Jones
said Clowney was pulled over early Satur-
day night in a Chrysler 300 northbound on
Interstate 77 in Fairfield County, about 25
miles north of Columbia.
Jones said Clowney was issued the tick-
et and allowed to drive away. It carries a
$355 fine and six points, which are half
the points needed to suspend a drivers
license.
Clowney is a junior expected to enter
the NFL draft after South Carolina plays
Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl.

Rams vow not
to quit on season
ST. LOUIS (AP) The St.
Louis Rams are in a familiar
spot, playing out the string in
December and assured of the
franchises 10th consecutive sea-
son without a winning record.
With some of their goals
missed, the players will just have
to keep pushing.
We have to finish strong,
defensive end Robert Quinn
said after the 30-10 loss Sun-
day at Arizona. You dont want
to look at the next season, you
want to finish strong and take it
one game at a time.
Draft-day speculation is
heating up about what should
be done with the two first-round
picks, one of them represent-
ing the final payoff from the
Robert Griffin III deal with the
Redskins.
Maybe 2014 will be the Rams
breakthrough.
The Rams (5-8) got wins
before and after their bye week
last month to give them momen-
tum. The past two weeks, theyve
struggled on the road against
the Cardinals and 49ers.
Lately, theyve really seemed
to miss Sam Bradford, totaling
23 points with Kellen Clemens
running the offense.
The Rams were 7-8-1 last
season, almost over the hump
under the new regime of coach
Jeff Fisher and general manager
Les Snead.
The loss to Arizona elimi-
nated them from playoff con-
tention. Theyll have to win out
to make it to .500 for the first
time since 2006, plus they will
be underdogs this week against
the Saints and in the finale at
Seattle.
We are going to get better,
Fisher said. Our focus is going
on the Saints. That is what we
are going to do.
Penalties were again an issue
with 11 for 90 yards last week.
Theyve been whistled for 100
penalties overall, third-most
in the NFL behind Tampa Bay
(106) and Seattle (104).
At San Francisco, they had 11
penalties for 105 yards.
Theyre high, theyve been
up the last two weeks, theyre
an issue, Fisher said. Theres
a number of them that weve
looked at and discussed it, that
shouldnt have been called, but
nonetheless theyre up.
Fishers biggest issue was
when officials whistled the play
dead on Jim Drays lost fumble
just shy of the end zone in the
second quarter.
Janoris Jenkins scooped up
the fumble and was close to
midfield before players on both
teams began to slow down, and
Fisher said Jenkins would have
scored a touchdown to put the
Rams up 10-7.
Instead, they trailed 13-3 at
the half and had to play catch-
up. They did a poor job of it,
mustering just 88 yards the rest
of the way 56 of them on rook-
ie Tavon Austins run to the 4.
It seemed like we were
backed up every time we got
the ball, wide receiver Austin
Pettis said.
Nine of the 12 possessions
began at the 20 or worse.
The Rams were 3-for-11 on
third down and Zac Stacy got
stuffed for the first time with
25 yards on 14 carries. Fisher
said Monday it wasnt a case of
teams figuring out how to stop
the rookie, but rather the Car-
dinals dominating against the
Rams line.
Center Tim Barnes made
his first career start and guard
Harvey Dahl was rusty returning
from a four-game absence due
to a knee injury.
We got some yards, but they
were tough yards, Fisher said.
Theyre sturdy and it was just
hard to get creases.
Fisher was particularly dis-
appointed in a defense that
allowed the Cardinals to go
8-for-14 on third down.
Were just not making plays,
whether its a penalty or its a
complete pass or its a missed
tackle, Fisher said. Good
defense, their third-down effi-
ciencys usually in the low 30s,
and thats got to be a goal for us.
Fisher had no update on Aus-
tins apparent ankle injury at the
end of his long run, saying we
did our test and hell be day to
day this week.
Shanahan may sit RG3 rest of
season to keep him healthy
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) Mike Shanahan, still for
now the coach of the Washington Redskins, made
a surprising reversal Monday and said he might
bench a 100 percent healthy Robert Griffin III
for the rest of the season to keep the quarterback
from getting hurt.
Shanahan essentially declared it might be more
beneficial for Griffin to get offseason snaps in May
rather than game experience over the next three
weeks. The coach, for the first time, then explicitly
left open the possibility he might not return next
year, saying his future will be decided after he
meets with owner Dan Snyder at the end of the
season.
Shanahans departure appears more likely than
ever after the Redskins (3-10) were embarrassed
45-10 by Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, a fifth
straight loss that ensures a third season of dou-
ble-digit losses in the coachs four seasons in
Washington.
You always want to come back. I love these
guys, Shanahan said. Whatll happen at the end
of the season, well get a chance, Dan and I, to sit
down and decide hell make the final decision
on whats the best interest of the Washington
Redskins. Ill give my opinion and what I think,
and obviously hell make the final decision.
Shanahan said he has a good relationship
with Snyder and met with the owner Monday. The
coach didnt go into detail about the conversation
other than to say it involved Griffin.
He asked me about my relationship with Rob-
ert, Shanahan said. And I said I was his coach, his
head football coach, and not necessarily his best
friend, dont need to be his best friend. I want to
make him the best quarterback possible.
A team spokesman said Snyder was not avail-
able for comment.
Nevertheless, Shanahan has increasingly
appeared to be the odd man out in the triangle
of owner, coach and quarterback. Shanahan and
Griffin have publicly clashed this season, and
Shanahan said he hasnt discussed the possible
benching with Griffin and wont do so until after
making a final decision Wednesday.
On Sunday, when asked if he had any doubts
he would start the upcoming game against the
Atlanta Falcons, Griffin replied: No, thats not an
issue.
In discussing the reasons for sitting Griffin in
favor of backup Kirk Cousins, Shanahan repeat-
edly pointed out that Griffin has been sacked 24
times in the last five games. He also noted Griffin
missed this years offseason practices while recov-
ering from major knee surgery, a reason often
cited for Griffins struggles a year after winning the
NFLs offensive rookie of the year award.
Were talking about his health, Shanahan
said. I want to make sure hes healthy. I think
thats the most important thing going into the
offseason, that he has his first full offseason being
healthy. And if he did play, and something hap-
pened to him, I think it would set our franchise
back.
Shanahan has previously insisted that Griffin
would remain the starter if healthy because the
quarterback needed as much regular season work
as possible to develop an all-around game.
Asked if Griffin is healthy now, Shanahan said:
I think hes 100 percent. I think hes feeling very
good.
The tension was palpable throughout Shana-
hans news conference, which also included him
debunking a report that he cleaned out his office
in advance of Januarys playoff loss to the Seattle
Seahawks.
It would take me two minutes to clean out my
office, Shanahan said. Ive got two notebooks
and Ive got an iPad. When I hear different things
like that, I just shake my head.
Defense keys Chiefs big win
Sunday against Redskins
KANSAS CITY (AP) Hard as it might be
to believe the Kansas City Chiefs who won
just twice last season rattled off nine straight
wins this year, it may have been even harder to
digest what transpired at Washington.
The Chiefs team that had lost three straight
dismantled the Redskins.
It wasnt just a blowout, either. It was 45-10,
that rare lopsided outcome in the NFL in
which a team can start playing its backups by
the fourth quarter. It was the kind of game that
can fill a team with confidence.
Losing three straight, not really playing
our style of football, it felt like this week we
did that, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said.
Defense played great. It was great all the way
around.
Just about the only thing that didnt go
right for the Chiefs (10-3) on Sunday was they
didnt wrap up a playoff berth, though its a
virtual certainty given the way the schedule
sets up.
They can clinch it by winning at Oakland
(4-9) on Sunday, or if the Dolphins lose at
home to New England or the Ravens lose at
Detroit on Monday night.
Perhaps even more tantalizing is the fact
theyre likely to land the fifth seed in the AFC,
the best among non-division winners. That
would send Kansas City in the first round to
the weakest division champion perhaps
Indianapolis, which visits Arrowhead Stadium
on Dec. 22.
Were still going to come out and try to
play our best game next week, Chiefs Coach
Andy Reid said, so Im not really into all that
other stuff.
The win proved especially sweet for Reid,
who became the 21st coach to win 150 games.
Four of those this season came against the
NFC East, where he coached for 14 years with
the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs won those
by a combined score of 119-49.
You know, Im just proud, Reid said. Im
proud of the coaches, the guys, just the way
they handled things. I think they did a heck
of a job.
Hes not embellishing one bit.
Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe paced
an offense that thrived on splendid field posi-
tion. Dexter McCluster returned a punt for a
touchdown, and Quintin Demps did the same
with a kickoff. A once-fearsome defense that
had been gutted by the Broncos Peyton Man-
ning and the Chargers Phillip Rivers during
that three-game slide nearly pitched a shutout
against RG3 and Co.
The performance of the defense may have
been what stood out the most.
Even after losing Pro Bowl pass rusher
Justin Houston to a dislocated elbow a couple
weeks ago, the Chiefs still managed to sack
Robert Griffin III six times. Tamba Hali and
Tyson Jackson each had two of them. And
when they werent wrapping him up, they
were frustrating Griffin in other ways.
The former Heisman Trophy winner was
just 12-of-26 for 164 yards with an interception
that Derrick Johnson returned 40 yards
more yardage than all but two of the Redskins
own wide receivers.
In those prior games, teams came out and
got rid of the ball a lot more. The different
(against Washington) was just that we came
out with the mindset that we have to get a
win, Hali said. Guys were focused all week.
We had good practices, and that was our
mindset.
Critics will still argue the Chiefs have pol-
ished their record with a bunch of also-rans,
and they have a point. The Chiefs have played
five teams that are last in their respective
division, including all four AFC teams in con-
secutive weeks.
But they also beat the NFC East-leading
Philadelphia Eagles early in the season and
the Dallas Cowboys another team in the
playoff hunt the previous week. And with
games still on deck against the Colts and Char-
gers, they have ample opportunity to impress
their detractors.
If nothing else, its all but certain theyll still
have the playoffs to do it.
Its a big deal, McCluster said. Having a
chance to play in the postseason, you know,
thats what we play for. We wanted to come
out (Sunday) and show that we can do it, most
definitely get a win, and we did that. Let the
chips fall where they may right now.

Keep

Steam from
Mannings nostrils
not just from cold
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
Even after coming in from the
cold, Peyton Manning was hot.
Following one of the best
cold-weather performances by a
quarterback in the past decade,
Manning issued an icy retort for
all his critics who say he crum-
bles in the cold.
He had a salty response to his
critics during a postgame inter-
view with Broncos flagship radio
station KOA in Denver following
the Broncos 51-28 dismantling
Sunday of the Tennessee Titans.
This after lecturing his receiv-
ers when they dropped passes
and getting into some heated
discussions with offensive coor-
dinator Adam Gase on the bench
after the Broncos had trouble
finishing off drives.
Manning said it was just the
fire that burns in both of their
bellies and we were both frus-
trated when were down there
close and have to settle for a
field goal.
They wanted touchdowns
to quiet the critics who had
been eager to see how Manning
would handle temperatures in
the teens.
After all, going into Sundays
game he had a 3-7 record in
freezing temps, including last
years home loss to Baltimore in
the playoffs and last months loss
at New England defeats coach
John Fox pointed out last week
shouldnt be pinned on Man-
ning given the blunders commit-
ted by others.
I think the better he contin-
ues to play in the cold, I think
the less chatter there will be
about that, Fox said Monday. I
was asked about that before and
after. Im just really glad hes on
our side. I dont care about the
weather.
Asked if he likes it when his
quarterback whos 174-83 in
his career regardless of whether
the mercury rises or falls gets
fired up, Fox said, I like him
pretty much either way.
Despite what he had to say
on the radio, Manning was more
diplomatic on the podium in
his postgame news conference
when asked if he had tried to
silence critics of his cold-weath-
er play Sunday when the Bron-
cos became the first team since
the 1970 merger to top 50 points
three times in a season.
Yeah, I wasnt trying to
answer it, because I didnt give
it validation in the first place,
Manning said. We had a good
plan and I thought we threw the
ball well and guys caught the
ball well.
If Manning needs to get his
hackles up over something this
week, its that the Broncos have
a short turnaround. He wasnt
happy three months ago when
the Broncos kicked off the sea-
son on a Thursday night, then
didnt play again for 10 days, fol-
lowed by a Monday night game
before finally getting into a reg-
ular routine.
Now, they have to play a
division game against San
Diego mid-week. When some-
one asked him how hard it is to
condense his preparation into
such a short time frame, Man-
ning retorted, Ive done it, Ive
played enough Thursday night
games where I know the habit, if
that makes sense.
Its supposed to be a bit
warmer Thursday night, at least.
The temperature at kickoff
Sunday was 18 degrees, which
many Broncos said felt down-
right balmy after practicing in
zero degrees during the week,
and Manning certainly wasnt
bothered one bit.
On a clear day with hardly
any wind, he threw for 397 yards
and four TDs in the icy condi-
tions. His 39 completions were
the most in franchise history,
and just one shy of his career
best set at Houston in 2010.
He also became the first play-
er since Kerry Collins in 2004
at Denver to throw at least four
TD passes with the temperature
below 20 degrees.
Something to prove

Not much happens
at start of
winter meetings
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
(AP) After all the trades and
signings last week, baseballs
annual winter meetings opened
with relative quiet.
David Price still was being
dangled on the trade market by
the Tampa Bay Rays. Shin-Soo
Choo and Nelson Cruz could be
signed for a large pile of cash.
Maybe theres a little bit of
calm after the storm, and the
next storm is a few days away,
Boston Red Sox general man-
ager Ben Cherington said Mon-
day. Well see. Something will
happen while everyones here,
but maybe its a little lower vol-
ume than some other years just
because so much has already
happened.
Opening day of the four-day
session was notable mostly for
the election of retired managers
Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and
Bobby Cox to the Hall of Fame
by the expansion era commit-
tee. The other big news was the
retirement of two-time Cy Young
Award winner Roy Halladay after
16 seasons at age 36.
Two years from free agen-
cy, Price is the most high-pro-
file player mentioned in trade
talks this week. The 2012 AL Cy
Young Award winner had a sala-
ry of $10,112,500 this year, near-
ly one-sixth the payroll of the
attendance-challenged Rays.
This is how we have to oper-
ate within our little world, Rays
manager Joe Maddon said. So
if it were to happen, its one of
those thats almost the word
devastating in a sense, but we
have to recover from those kind
of moments, if it does actually
occur.
Price would join James
Shields, Matt Garza, Carl Craw-
ford and B.J. Upton among play-
ers who left the Rays, whose
average home attendance of
18,646 was the lowest in the
major leagues.
Few fans means tight cash
flow.
Just think if you could have
kept all those guys for several
years and keep them together for
maybe 15 years like the Yankees
did starting in 1995, 96 to pres-
ent time, said Maddon, whos
been touring the United States
in an RV.
I do commit myself to that
thought on occasion, but the
reality is thats not the way it is.
So I dont lament that. Im real-
ly happy for the guys that once
theyve done well here, they go
somewhere else and do well and
make good money for them-
selves and their family, he said.
Baseballs high rollers have
made many of their moves
already.
The Yankees, stung by miss-
ing the playoffs for only the sec-
ond time in 19 years, spent $307
million to add Jacoby Ellsbury,
Brian McCann, Carlos Beltran
and Kelly Johnson and to retain
Hiroki Kuroda and Brendan
Ryan. They didnt seem very
concerned Robinson Cano left
for a still-unfinished deal with
Seattle said to be worth $240
million over 10 years.
After winning its third World
Series title in 10 seasons, Bos-
ton watched Ellsbury head to its
Bronx rival. The Red Sox allowed
catcher Jarrod Saltamacchia to
leave for a $21-million contract
with Miami and replaced him
with A.J. Pierzynski, who agreed
to an $8.25-million, one-year
deal.
Curtis Granderson, Joe
Nathan, Jhonny Peralta and
Tim Hudson also have signed
with new clubs, and Prince
Fielder, Ian Kinsler, Doug Fis-
ter, Jim Johnson, David Freese
and Heath Bell were traded. The
pace of turnover has been a bit
dizzying.
Its been a quicker-moving
offseason certainly than I think
anyone expected. The move-
ment last week was unlike most
years, Cherington said. I would
imagine theres probably a lot of
trade talk this week, because a
good chunk of the free agents are
off the board.
Miami introduced Saltamac-
chia during a news conference
just after a person familiar with
the negotiations said the Marlins
had agreed to a $7.75-million,
two-year contract with first base-
man Garrett Jones.

evidenced by fierce attachments
to favorite players, general man-
agers and owners.
Cerebral, and often combat-
ive and cranky, La Russa com-
piled a regular-season record of
2,728-2,365 in 33 seasons. He
had 70 postseason victories,
trailing only Torres 84, and
joined role model Sparky Ander-
son as the lone managers to win
Series in both leagues.
In all, La Russa managed 12
first-place finishes and six pen-
nants and was picked as Man-
ager of the Year four times. He
went to the World Series three
straight years from 1988-90, and
also lost in the Series in 2004
when the Cardinals were swept
by Boston.
A career .199 hitter with no
home runs, La Russa made
his big-league debut as a teen
infielder with the 1963 Kansas
City Athletics. He got his first
managing job at age 35 with the
Chicago White Sox in 1979.
In 1983, La Russa guided the
White Sox to their first post-
season berth in 24 years. He
rewarded new Cardinals owners
with a division title his first sea-
son in St. Louis in 1996, ending
the franchises nine-year post-
season slump, and made it to the
playoffs nine times in 16 seasons
overall.
The Oakland connection of
La Russa and general manager
Walt Jocketty led to a trade for
Mark McGwire, who shattered
Roger Maris record of 61 hom-
ers that had stood since 1961
with 70 homers in 1998. Though
since tarnished by McGwires
admission of steroid use, Big
Mac was a one-man show that
had fans clamoring to see him
launch batting practice fastballs
into the seats and helped reg-
ularly sell out Busch Stadium
despite the teams so-so record.
La Russa consistently denied
knowledge or involvement in
the steroids scandal.
The managers no-nonsense
approach and refusal to relo-
cate to the Midwest left a bit of
distance from a fan base that
adored Whitey Herzogs folksy
approach. La Russa softened
and gained perspective during
the 2001 season, marred by the
death of pitcher Darryl Kile.
The final season was trying. A
painful bout of shingles sapped
energy early in the season and
he informed GM John Mozeliak
of his decision in August before
the Cardinals rallied from a 10-
game deficit in the NL wild-card
race to upset Philadelphia and
Milwaukee in the playoffs.
Down to their final strike in
two different innings in Game
6, the Cardinals came back in
Game 6 of the World Series
against Texas and then won the
title.

Clarkson selected
Player of the Week
By the News Tribune staff
COLUMBIA Missouri
junior guard Jordan Clarkson
was named the National Player
of the Week by College Sports
Madness on Monday as well as
the Southeastern Conference
Player of the Week.
Clarkson, a 6-foot-5 point
guard, led the Tigers to victo-
ries against West Virginia (80-71)
and No. 17 UCLA (80-71) this
week, averaging 23 points, five
rebounds, five assists and two
steals.
Clarkson pushed his streak to
five consecutive games scoring
at least 20 points, hitting for 25
against West Virginia in the Big
12/SEC Challenge before going
for 21 in the win against the
nationally-ranked Bruins. He is
the first Tiger to accomplish that
since Thomas Gardner in the
2005-06 season.
Clarkson grabbed a season
high six rebounds in the win
against the Mountaineers and
dished a season-high six assists
in the victory against UCLA.
The wins pushed Missouri to
9-0 on the year, the second time
the Tigers have been 9-0 under
the direction of head coach
Frank Haith. Missouri moved
into the Associated Press Top
25, settling in at 24th. The Tigers
sit just outside the USA Today
Coaches poll as the first team in
the others receiving votes cat-
egory.
Clarkson, a Tulsa transfer, is
currently leading the Southeast-
ern Conference in scoring (20.2
ppg.), just ahead of teammate,
Jabari Brown, who ranks third
in the league at 19.4 points per
game.
Clarkson is also fourth in the
SEC in assists per game (3.8) and
ranks 10th overall in field goal
percentage (.515) and second in
free-throw percentage (.884).
Missouri will host West-
ern Michigan at 6 p.m. Sunday
(ESPNU-TV).

The Star-Spangled Banner
before the 100th Rose Bowl
game in Pasadena.
Individually, the four have
provided background vocals
for such superstars as Bruce
Springsteen and Mick Jagger.
In a field of 147 qualifying
films, 20 Feet is one of 15 to
advance in voting for best doc-
umentary feature at the upcom-
ing Academy Awards.
Rose Bowl media direc-

only time in memory that the
national anthem will be per-
formed at a Rose Bowl game by
musicians other than a team
band.
Officials seek sanctuary
for Iowa alligator
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP)
Animal control officials in the
Iowa city of Waterloo are seeking
a new home for a baby alligator
named Chompey.
A resident of the eastern
Iowa city of about 68,000 people
bought the alligator after spot-
ting an online advertisement,
but he later learned state law
does not allow people to keep
alligators or other exotic ani-
mals, The Waterloo-Cedar Falls
Courier reported Monday.
The resident turned the gator
in to animal control officials, who
kept the creature in an aquarium
while figuring out what to do
with it. Then the gator started
snapping and making noises.
He was really kind of cute,
but he was also kind of naugh-
ty, said Maria Tiller, Waterloos
code enforcement forewoman.
I didnt want him in my office
anymore.
The alligator was moved to
the Pawsitive Pet Care, a veteri-
nary center, where staff dubbed
the animal Chompey. The alli-
gator then was sent to a herpe-
tologist in Des Moines, where
the animals being held in quar-
antine while staff seek a sanc-
tuary in a warmer climate for
Chompey.
Josh Colvin, who heads ani-
mal control for Animal Rescue of
Iowa, said alligator reports have
dropped since the state ban on
exotic animals was approved in
2007. Still, he said, people occa-
sionally drop off gators.
They just dont realize they
are going to grow up and get
big, Colvin said. The unfor-
tunate part is that people dont
think it through, and then ani-
mal control has to pick up the
pieces.
Iowa law also bans resi-
dents from owning lions, tigers,
cougars, leopards, ocelots, ele-
phants, bears, monkeys, croco-
diles and some snakes. Excep-
tions can be made for zoos,
circuses, fairs, animal shelters,
veterinarians and researchers.
DEAR ABBY: I am a single 25-year-old man
with a 15-month-old son. I didnt plan on having
any children, but my son is everything to me. His
mother and I did not work out well living
together. We had different priorities and
personalities and could not comfortably
coexist.
I have no ill will toward Andrea. Shes
a great person and a phenomenal mom.
My dilemma is I constantly regret not
working harder to stay with her. I see her
new boyfriend with my son and it kills
me. I see my son only on my two days off.
I wish I could see him more than that, but
the only way I could see it happening is if
Andrea and I got back together.
Everyone I know says we made the
right choice for the three of us, but they may be
biased toward my side of the situation. Im afraid
of not being there for my boy like my father wasnt
there for me when I was a kid. I dont think 18
hours a week with my child will be enough to pre-
vent him from feeling the same way I did. TORN
FATHER IN CONNECTICUT
DEAR TORN: You have some serious thinking
to do. Feeling as you do, that you didnt try hard
enough to save your relationship, discuss it with
your ex and see how she feels about the possibil-
ity of a reconciliation.
HOWEVER, while I admire your desire to be
a good father, it would be unfair to Andrea to try
to get back together only to spend more time
with your son. Consider asking her how shed
feel about you having him one night during the
week in addition to your days off. Because the
breakup wasnt acrimonious, she may welcome
the idea and agree.
DEAR ABBY: I live in a condo complex and am
appalled at the disgusting mess some residents
leave behind in the laundry room. Its hard to fath-
om that people are unaware that they are expected
to empty the lint screen after using the dryer. My
husband says they just dont care.
Why should I have to empty it just so I can
use the machine? People also leave the tops and
insides of the machines dirty with lint, hair and
what looks like mites. Dont you agree that people
should wipe the laundry area down if theyve left a
mess? TIDY IN NORTHAMPTON, MASS.
DEAR TIDY: Whether I agree is less
important than whether the board of
directors of your condominium asso-
ciation does. Bring this up at the next
homeowners meeting and ask that
some rules be set and a sign posted in
the laundry room reminding those
who use it to PLEASE be sure the
machines are left clean when they
are finished using them. I cant guar-
antee this will eliminate the problem,
but it may help.
P.S. If you are correct about see-
ing mites in the laundry room, the
manager should be informed so an extermi-
nator can visit the complex and eradicate the
infestation.
DEAR ABBY: Whats the proper response
when a woman tells you, Youre a lucky woman
to have such a good husband who loves you so
much? That phrase bothers me because I feel
it is a slap in my face like what am I, chopped
liver? Am I not worthy of a wonderful marriage
and family?
It is usually said by women who are unfamil-
iar with our lives and the struggles we have both
endured since we met each other. Do I say thank
you? Smile? Ignore it? I would never tell another
woman she is lucky to have her man because I feel
its an insult. Am I overreacting? HES LUCKY,
TOO, IN COLORADO
DEAR HES LUCKY, TOO: Yes. The women
who acknowledge how lucky you are may be
comparing the way your husband treats you
in public to the way they are treated by their
husbands. Instead of being defensive, smile
and say, I agree. Were lucky to have EACH
OTHER.

NASA:
Ancient
Mars lake
may have
supported life
LOS ANGELES (AP)
NASAs Curiosity rover has
uncovered signs of an ancient
freshwater lake on Mars, which
scientists say could have been
a perfect spot for tiny primitive
organisms to flourish if they ever
existed on the red planet.
The watering hole near the
Martian equator existed about
3.5 billion years ago around the
time when life evolved on Earth.
Scientists say the Martian lake
was neither salty nor acidic, and
contained life-friendly nutrients.
This just looks like a pretty
darn ordinary Earth-like lake in
terms of its chemistry, said proj-
ect scientist John Grotzinger of the
California Institute of Technology.
If you were desperate, you could
have a drink of this stuff.
The lake, about the size of a
small Finger Lake in upstate New
York, likely was around for tens of
thousands perhaps hundreds
of thousands of years. Even
when the lake dried up, scientists
said microbes could have migrat-
ed underground, and existed for
potentially tens of millions of years.
Its not known whether simple
life forms ever took hold on Mars
and Curiosity lacks the tools to
search for any fossilized microbes.
It can only analyze the chemical
makeup of rocks and soil.
The findings were published
online Monday in the journal
Science and presented at the
American Geophysical Union
meeting in San Francisco.

Grand Forks Herald
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (MCT) As the holidays
draw closer, your mind can start spinning with all of
the items on your to-do list, and stress that results
from trying to do it all and doing it perfectly
can take a toll on your health.
While stress can be good it motivates and
spurs us to take action it can also be a bad thing
if you have too much of it in your life, said Bethany
Brandvold, medical fitness specialist with Altru
Health System in Grand Forks, N.D.
Symptoms of stress are caused by the bodys
instinctive survival mechanism to protect it from
predators and aggressors.
In the last 100,000 years or so of human exis-
tence survival depended on the ability to suc-
cessfully flee or to successfully defend yourself,
said Dr. James Whitehead, professor of kinesiology
and public health education at the University of
North Dakota.
In stressful situations, the body releases stress
hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, to prepare
us to either fight like hell or flee like hell, he said.
The fight or flight response that has evolved and
that weve inherited from our predecessors sets in
motion physiological changes intended to preserve
life.
Although life-threatening dangers are rare
today, the body treats hassles such as multiple
demands and family problems as threats and
reacts the way our ancestors bodies did eons ago.
In the past, most of the threats to survival were
physical, he said. Today, threats are typically psy-
chological and emotional stresses.
The stress of the boss dumping a bunch of
work on you or someone (making you angry) in a
relationship has the same effect on our body as if a
bear jumped out in front of you. The body diverts
blood from places like the gut system to the skeletal
muscles, he said.
Skin may feel cooler because less blood is being
pumped to the skin; instead its sent to the muscles.
Perception is heightened to become more
focused for visual cues, he said.
Pupils are dilated to spot telltale
signs in the environment.
This response produces stress
symptoms that can affect your body,
your thoughts and feelings, and your
behavior, according to MayoClinic.
com. Stress thats left unchecked can
contribute to health problems such
as high blood pressure, heart disease,
obesity and diabetes.
Physical activity helps dissipate
that stress response, Whitehead said.
When you improve fitness through
physical activity, you get less reactive
to common stresses. Its called the
stress inoculation effect of physical
activity.
Sources of stress
Studies have found that during the
holiday season, 40 percent of Amer-
icans report feeling financial stress,
Brandvold said. The stress of credit
card bills will make you feel even
more stressed come January.
Studies also found that 37 percent
of Americans feel stressed by memories of loved
ones who have died, and having too much to do
causes stress for 34 percent of people, she said.
Those who are stressed out may make unhealthy
food choices and abandon regular exercise, which
has been shown to be among the best treatments
for combating stress, she said.
Researchers are also finding that stress is a
major factor in many digestive problems, such as
irritable bowel syndrome and sensitive stomach
syndrome, she said.
Stress can lead to inadequate or poor quality
sleep, she said. Without sufficient sleep, we suf-
fer in our performance at work and can experi-
ence many of the same (effects) as if were highly
stressed, like gaining weight.
Here are some tips that Brandvold suggests
to better manage stress during the
holidays:
Plan ahead. Get your Christ-
mas letter together ahead of time,
she advised. When I was little, my
mom got out the Christmas letter in
February. Decide in advance who is
going to host family gatherings and
meals, write out the menu and make a
list of everything you need to buy so
you wont have to run to the store at
the last minute, she said. Failure to
prepare is preparing to fail.
Host a potluck meal. Rather
than taking on the whole dinner your-
self, recruit others to share in food
preparation. People like to help out,
she said. Ask them to bring a side dish
or another item to lighten the burden.
Learn to say no. Dont feel
obligated to attend every single party
youre invited to, Brandvold said.
Its your holiday season, too you
dont need to attend everything that
you could. People will understand
that you cant participate in every
event. Save your time and energy for
the ones you enjoy most. Make sure
you enjoy the season the way you want to.
Stick to a budget. Plan how much youll
spend on gifts, food and other expenses, and follow
that budget, no matter how much youre tempted
to go beyond, she said. Its really hard, I know, but
its doable. If your child asks for something beyond
the limit, you can explain, Thats a pretty big-ticket
item. Ill give you this much toward (the cost), but
its your job duty to save up the rest.
Create a barter system. Trading services

BOSTON (AP) Doctors are
reporting an epidemic of twins.
Nearly half of all babies born with
advanced fertility help are multi-
ple births, new federal numbers
show.
In the five years since the
Octomom case, big multiple
births have gone way down but
the twin rate has barely budged.
Twins arent always twice as nice;
they have much higher risks of
prematurity and serious health
problems.
Now fertility experts are push-
ing a new goal: One. A growing
number of couples are attempt-
ing pregnancy with just a single
embryo, helped by new ways to
pick the ones most likely to suc-
ceed. New guidelines urge doctors
to stress this approach.
Abigail and Ken Ernst of Old-
wick, N.J., did this to conceive
Lucy, a daughter born in Septem-
ber. Using one embryo at a time
just seemed the most normal, the
most natural way to conceive and
avoid a high-risk twin pregnancy,
the new mom said.
Not all couples feel that way,
though. Some can only afford one
try with in vitro fertilization, or
IVF, so they insist that at least two
embryos be used to boost their
odds, and view twins as two for
the price of one.
Many patients are telling
their physicians I want twins,
said Barbara Collura, president of
Resolve, a support and advocacy
group. We as a society think twins
are healthy and always come out
great. Theres very little reality
about the increased medical risks
for babies and moms, she said.
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Preventions most recent
numbers show that 46 percent of
IVF babies are multiples mostly
twins and 37 percent are born
premature. By comparison, only
3 percent of babies born without
fertility help are twins and about
12 percent are preterm.
Its mostly an American prob-
lem some European countries
that pay for fertility treatments
require using one embryo at a
time.
The American Society for
Reproductive Medicine is trying
to make it the norm in the U.S.,
too. Its guidelines, updated ear-
lier this year, say that for women
with reasonable medical odds of
success, those under 35 should
be offered single embryo transfer
and no more than two at a time.
The number rises with age, to two
or three embryos for women up to
40, since older women have more
trouble conceiving.
To add heft to the advice, the
guidelines say women should be
counseled on the risks of multi-
ple births and embryo transfers
and that this discussion should
be noted in their medical records.
In 2014, our goal is really to
minimize twins, said Dr. Alan
Copperman, medical director of
Reproductive Medicine Associ-
ates of New York, a Manhattan
fertility clinic. This year Im
talking about two versus one. Sev-
eral years ago I was talking about
three versus two embryos.
The one-at-a-time idea is
catching on. Only 4 percent of
women under 35 used single
embryos in 2007 but nearly 12
percent did in 2011. Its less com-
mon among older women, who
account for fewer IVF pregnan-
cies, but it is gaining among them,
too.
Patients dont really want
multiples. What they want is high
delivery rates, said Dr. Richard
T. Scott Jr., scientific director for
Reproductive Medicine Asso-
ciates of New Jersey, which has
seven clinics in that state.
Better ways to screen embryos
can make success rates for sin-
gle embryos nearly as good as
when two or more are used, he
contends. The new techniques
include maturing the embryos a
few days longer. That improves
viability and allows cells to be
sampled for chromosome screen-
ing. Embryos can be frozen to
allow test results to come back
and more precisely time the trans-
fer to the womb.
Taking these steps with sin-
gle embryos results in fewer mis-
carriages and tubal pregnancies,
healthier babies with fewer genet-
ic defects and lower hospital bills
from birth complications, many
fertility specialists say.
Multiple studies back this up.
In May, doctors from the New Jer-
sey clinics did the kind of research
considered a gold standard. They
randomly assigned 175 women
to have either a single embryo
transferred after chromosome
screening or two embryos with no
screening, as is done in most IVF
attempts now. Delivery rates were
roughly equivalent 61 percent
with single embryos and 65 per-
cent with doubles.
More than half of the double
transfers produced twins but none
of the single ones did. Babies from
double transfers were more likely
to be premature; more than one-
third spent time in a neonatal
intensive care unit versus 8 per-
cent of the others.
Chromosome testing and
freezing embryos adds about
$4,000 to the roughly $14,000
cost for IVF, but the pregnancy
rates go up dramatically, and that
saves money because fewer IVF
attempts are needed, Scott said.
Using two or more embryos car-
ries a much higher risk of twins
and much higher rates of cerebral
palsy and other disorders.
After explaining the risks, this
is the easiest thing in the world
to convince patients to do, Scott
said of screening and using single
embryos.
But Dr. Fady Sharara of the
Virginia Center for Reproductive
Medicine in Reston, Va., found
otherwise. For a study, he offered
48 couples free medications and
embryo freezing if they would
agree to transfer one at a time
instead of two. Eighteen couples
refused, including one-quarter of
those whose insurance was cov-
ering the treatment. Some who
refused said they viewed twins as
two for the price of one.
I tell my patients twins are not
twice the fun, Shahara said. One
is hard enough. Two at a time is a
killer for some people. Some mar-
riages dont survive this.
The New Jersey couple, who
had a daughter using a single
embryo, has eight more frozen
embryos. When its time to try
again, Abigail Ernst said, we
would do the same thing and use
one at a time.

Orlando Sentinel
ORLANDO, Fla. (MCT)
Christin Rivas, 14, was fascinated
by the small, round toy magnets
that you can sculpt into shapes
and use to perform magic tricks.
Put a pen on a desk, hold a
magnet underneath and watch
the pen move across the desktop.
While playing with a couple
of these rare-earth magnets at
her Satellite Beach, Fla., middle
school last week, Christin need-
ed both hands to grab some-
thing, so she decided to hold
the mini-magnets in her mouth.
Someone made her laugh, and
gulp. She swallowed the mag-
nets.
Five days later, Christin was
at Arnold Palmer Hospital for
Children in Orlando, Fla., having
the magnets surgically removed
from her intestines, along with
a small section of her colon and
her appendix.
Labels warning that magnets
are harmful if swallowed have
not stopped an increasing num-
ber of kids from putting them in
their mouths or noses and then
getting them stuck in their bod-
ies, where they can cause serious
harm.
The groups that get into the
most trouble are children age 5
and younger, and tweens and
teens, who use the magnets to
mimic tongue, lip, cheek or nose
piercings.
Kids swallow a lot of objects,
said Dr. Tejas Mehta, a pediat-
ric gastroenterologist at Arnold
Palmer who treated Rivas, but
from a GI perspective, magnets
cause more damage than any-
thing else.
That risks soars when more
than one magnet goes down.
Magnets will work so hard to
find each other that their force
can cause intestines to twist and
become blocked. The pull can
also cause erosion, then ulcer-
ation, and eventually the intes-
tine can perforate, causing infec-
tion, Mehta said.
Four out of five kids who swal-
low multiple magnets will need
an invasive procedure, such as
an endoscopy or surgery, said
Mehta, who has heard of kids
swallowing magnets and need-
ing massive bowel resections.
From 2002 to 2011 magnet-re-
lated emergency-room visits
among Americans younger than
21 increased fivefold, according
to a recent study published in
the Annals of Emergency Med-
icine.
During that 10-year period,
22,500 magnet injuries were
reported. Usually the kids swal-
lowed the magnets, but about
one-fourth put the magnets up
their nose, said Julie Brown, an
emergency-room doctor at the
University of Washington, in
Seattle, and lead author of the
study. The magnets break loose
and go in, not out.
Based on data Brown has
seen since then, the problem
shows no sign of slowing.
There is something very
tempting about them, Brown
said. When playing with this
fidgety toy, you want to put it in
your mouth. You want to try to
separate the magnets with your
teeth.
To toddlers, they look just like
the silver-ball candies you put on
cupcakes, she said.
Buckyballs, a set of 216 mag-
nets that consumers can manip-
ulate into sculptures and chain
jewelry, is one culprit. Last year,
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission asked retailers and
makers of Buckyballs and Zen
Magnets, a similar toy, to stop
selling them.
But you can still find them
online, said Brown, who has
researched the issue and claims
more than 3 million sets of the
magnet sets have been sold. At
216 magnets per set, thats 600
million in circulation.
Other magnet-containing
products are equally worrisome,
she said, citing metallic bulletin
boards that have little magnet
pins, refrigerator magnets that
look like candies or coffee beans
(begging to be tasted) and fish-
ing games that involve a magnet
on a rod.
Many emergency-room phy-
sicians dont know how serious
the problem can be. When Bar-
bara Rivas took her daughter to
the emergency room at Wuest-
hoff Medical Center, the doc-
tor ordered an X-ray, then sent
Christin and her mother home
and said the magnets would
pass.
That advice didnt set well
with Rivas, who did some online
research.
Thats when I hit the panic
button, she said.
After going to another ER, she
was referred to Arnold Palmer,
where doctors admitted Christin
and tracked her magnets path
by X-ray.
Normally, food or foreign
objects take six to eight hours
to go from entry to exit, Mehta
said. When the magnets Christin
swallowed stalled at the neck of
the large colon for 24 hours, doc-
tors decided to operate.
Anyone who has surgery
on the small bowel runs a 10
percent chance of developing a
bowel obstruction later in life,
Brown said.
Dont even think about
touching them or buying them,
Christin said. I messed up my
intestines. I worry about that
down the road.

with someone else can lighten
your load. My sister wraps 80
percent of the gifts I give, said
Brandvold, who in exchange
does Christmas baking for her
sister. Or ask a friend who has
great handwriting to write your
cards in exchange for some bak-
ing. It cuts stress and time con-
straints.
Keep up with or start
healthy habits. To eat health-
ier during the holidays, keep
temptations away from home
and the workplace, she said.
Save indulgences for spe-
cial parties and on the holiday
itself. To eat healthier, she sug-
gests replacing full-fat milk with
low-fat or 1 percent milk and
reducing the amount of butter
in foods like mashed potatoes.
Use fresh herbs and spices to
season foods, she said. Cinna-
mon soothes digestion, increas-
es metabolism and is good for
regulating blood sugar.
Keep up your exercise pro-
gram during the holidays,
Brandvold said. Studies show
that exercise has many great
effects on the body, such as
helping to reduce stress and
fatigue, elevating mood and
improving sleep.
Exercise helps you remain
calm and clear-minded in every-
thing you do, she said.
Allow yourself some room
during the holidays, she said. If
you cant (exercise) for an hour,
do less.
Even 10 minutes out of your
day will help. Go for a walk, ride
a bike. Youll feel better than if
you let it go to the wayside and
(then) feel you have to start over
on Jan. 1.
The holidays should not be
viewed as another commit-
ment, Brandvold said. They
are to be enjoyed.

Fertility doctors aim to lower rate of twin births
Abigail Ernst poses with her 2-month-old daughter, Lucy, in their Oldwick, N.J., home.
Ernst, and her husband, Ken Ernst, conceived Lucy by using only one embryo through in
vitro fertilization. With nearly half of all babies born using advanced fertility help being
multiple births, doctors are now urging more couples to attempt pregnancy with just a
single embryo.
By the Associated Press
Triplets-and-more increasingly are the result of
drugs given to women to make them produce eggs
not from using multiple embryos from IVF, or lab-
dish fertilization, new research shows.
More than one-third of twins and three-quarters
of triplets and higher multiple births in the U.S. are
due to fertility treatments of all types, researchers
from the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and Brown University report.
Multiple births raise medical risks and hospital
bills for moms and babies. Guidelines urging the use
of fewer embryos were strengthened following the
2009 Octomom case, in which a California woman
had octuplets after her doctor transferred 12 embry-
os made from an IVF treatment.
But most cases of infertility are treated not with
IVF but simpler measures such as drugs to make the
ovaries produce eggs. The first step often is a pill,
Clomid, to spur hormones that aid conception. If
that doesnt work, more powerful drugs can be given
in shots, but those bring a much higher risk.
Doctors are supposed to use ultrasound and
blood tests to monitor how many eggs are being
produced and advise couples against trying to con-
ceive that month if there are too many, to minimize
the risk of multiple births. But that monitoring often
isnt done, or done well, and couples eager for a
baby may disregard the advice.
The new study examined trends over several
decades and finds that the rate of triplet and high-
er-order births peaked in 1998 and has been declin-
ing since then. From 1998 to 2011, the estimated
proportion of twin births due to IVF increased from
10 percent to 17 percent, while the proportion of
triplets-and-more declined.
During the same period, the estimated propor-
tion of triplet and bigger multiple births from non-
IVF treatments such as fertility drugs increased from
36 percent to 45 percent.
Fertility drugs lead to more big multiple births

Protein may help assess concussions
By Tom Avril
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Most people who get a concussion seem to
regain normal brain function within a month or
two at most. But doctors have no way to predict
which patients are in that group and which will
suffer long-term cognitive problems.
A team from the University of Pennsylvania
and Baylor College of Medicine seeks to solve that
riddle with a simple blood test.
In a new study in the journal Frontiers in Neu-
rology, the team reported that a protein called
SNTF is a promising indicator of which patients
with concussions are likely to experience chronic
brain deficits.
Researchers tested the brain processing speed
of 13 concussed patients soon after their injury
and also measured the amount of SNTF in their
blood. The cognitive test was administered again
three months later.
Among five patients with elevated levels of the
protein, none showed improvements in process-
ing speed three months later. But in six of eight
patients in whom the protein was not detected just
after injury, scores on the brain test did improve
three months later.
The researchers also reported that patients
with elevated levels of the protein were more likely
to have abnormal brain scans. The patients under-
went a special kind of MRI.
Lead author Robert Siman, a neurosurgery
professor at Penns Perelman School of Medicine,
warned that while the findings were statistically
significant, the study was small and needs fol-
low-up. We dont have a way to identify at an early
and potentially treatable stage those concussed
individuals who are not going to get better, he
said.
The study also included a set of 13 patients with
a broken bone or other orthopedic injury.
Levels of the protein were elevated in the blood
of three of those patients, suggesting that they
may have suffered an undiagnosed concussion,
said study author and Penn professor Douglas H.
Smith.
It highlights the important thing, that concus-
sion is really poorly diagnosed and defined, said
Smith, director of Penns Center for Brain Injury
and Repair.
When someone goes to the ER with symptoms
of a concussion but no internal bleeding, they are
examined and sent home. It is up to the patient
and family to follow up with a doctor.
If the Penn-Baylor blood test holds up in larg-
er studies, it would help doctors determine who
needs follow-up care, Smith said. It would be
crucially important to weed out those who really
need the call-back.
Such a test also would help researchers test
drugs and other therapies for concussions, he said.
Now it is hard to tell if drugs are helping, since
most people get better anyway.
The type of protein in the blood test was chosen
because past studies had shown it was secreted by
dying brain cells.
The concussion patients were defined as having
suffered a mild traumatic brain injury, meaning
that a CT scan did not reveal internal bleeding.
But Smith dislikes the term mild, since some of
the patients cognitive symptoms were anything
but.
Some drug providers
can elude crackdown
in wake of meningitis
scare, FDA concedes
WASHINGTON Federal
authorities acknowledged that
some larger-scale custom drug
providers may initially escape
detection under a new law
intended as a response to a men-
ingitis outbreak that sickened
hundreds across the U.S. and led
to 19 deaths in Michigan.
Officials with the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration gener-
ally praised the new law Mon-
day, saying it gives them more
tools with which to regulate larg-
er operators that sign up as out-
sourcers while leaving smaller,
more traditional pharmacies that
custom-mix drugs mostly to the
states.
But Jane Axelrad, associ-
ate policy director for the FDAs
Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, noted it is up to larg-
er-scale compounding phar-
macies to register voluntarily as
outsourcers, for which they will
qualify for certain FDA exemp-
tions and in turn submit to feder-
al oversight and inspection.
It will be difficult for us to
identify compounding pharma-
cies that choose not to register as
outsourcers and try to hide out in
the category as traditional com-
pounders, she said.
In those cases, she added, the
government would continue to
work with states to find problem
operators and take action, but
would be limited in making any
proactive inspections.
The law, passed with bipar-
tisan support in Congress and
signed last week by President
Barack Obama, has been large-
ly welcomed as a step forward
in updating pharmacy rules. But
it has still left some victims of
the outbreak complaining that
little has been done to rein in an
industry they consider too unreg-
ulated.
All they did was put some-
thing up there that is window
dressing. They didnt do any-
thing, said 58-year-old Mark
Klaserner of Milford, Mich., who
got fungal meningitis after a spi-
nal injection in September 2012
and still suffers from chronic
back pain that makes it difficult
to walk, work or sleep more than
two hours at a stretch.
FDA Commissioner Mar-
garet Hamburg said the agency
plans to keep up its efforts to
inspect and, where necessary,
take action against compounding
pharmacies that have become de
facto drug manufacturers. Those
efforts have become more aggres-
sive since last years outbreak.
Traditionally, compound-
ing pharmacies custom make
pharmaceuticals based on indi-
vidual needs and prescriptions.
But in recent years, larger-scale
operations which would fall
into the category of outsourcers
have provided bulk orders of
custom-made pharmaceuticals to
hospitals and other health care
providers.
Last years meningitis out-
break was linked to tainted ste-
roid injections distributed across
the country by the New England
Compounding Center in Mas-
sachusetts. More than 750 cases
including 64 deaths were
reported in 20 states. Michigan,
with 264 cases and 19 deaths, was
the hardest hit.
Reports indicated problems
at the NECC had been detected
before the outbreak, and congres-
sional investigators questioned
why the FDA didnt intervene
earlier. But the law about who
had authority the state or the
FDA was considered murky.
The new legislation, sponsored
by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich.,
helps clear that up.
Meanwhile, by creating the
new class of outsourcers that
submit to inspections and come
under federal authority, its
hoped that hospitals and other
large health care providers will
more readily turn to those firms,
with the outbreak stoking wor-
ries. That, in turn, will put market
pressure on pharmacies to regis-
ter voluntarily.
But it still leaves traditional
compounding pharmacies largely
under the authority of state phar-
macy boards.
Hamburg said while the
new law didnt give her agency
all the authority she had hoped
for, it was definitely progress.
And given the concerns about
the outbreak last year, hospitals
and health care providers will be
eager to purchase from FDA-ap-
proved outsourcers, she said.

Male breast growth linked to pot
By Melissa Dribben
The Philadelphia Inquirer
PHILADELPHIA (MCT)
As legalized medical mari-
juana gains acceptance across
the country, a long-smoldering
question burns a little hotter.
In the vernacular, stoners ask,
Do doobies make boobies?
Plastic surgeons phrase it more
scientifically. Does marijuana
cause gynecomastia?
Speculation that men who
smoke pot are prone to devel-
op abnormal breast tissue or
man boobs has been around
for decades. The first scientif-
ic paper examining the clini-
cal impact of the drugs active
ingredient, THC, on hormonal
systems was published in 1972
in the New England Journal of
Medicine.
This was about the same time
Brewer & Shipley stoked Spiro
Agnews ire with the hit single
One Toke Over the Line. The
drugs ability to stoke contro-
versy has not abated. The 1972
study found that the drug has
widespread effects on multi-
ple hormonal systems, includ-
ing gonadal, adrenal, prolactin,
growth hormone, and thyroid
hormone regulation. When
the drug throws off the normal
balance of hormones, estrogen
levels rise and stimulate breast
tissue growth.
Subsequent studies have
been few and their findings con-
flicting. As a result, marijuanas
advocates call the association a
myth, asserting that there is no
solid scientific proof.
They have a point, says Adri-
an Lo, a plastic surgeon at Penn-
sylvania Hospital who specializ-
es in breast reduction for men.
Because marijuana is illegal in
most states, he explains, its hard
to conduct research. But this
does not make the link a myth.
What were left with are doc-
tors, endocrinologists, and sur-
geons with clinical acumen say-
ing we notice a trend, he says.
Of the 100 or so patients who
come to him for breast reduction
surgeries each year, more than
one-third report regular mari-
juana use.
Some men are more sus-
ceptible to gynecomastia than
others, he says. Smoking pot
can lower testosterone levels
for 24 hours, he says. After just
one joint, patients have report-
ed feeling swelling and puffiness
around the nipple, while regular
users may have no reaction, at
least in their breast tissue.
We cant predict who its
going to happen to, Lo says.
I wouldnt say I was smoking
seven days a week, but it was
close, says a 23-year-old patient
who recently underwent breast
reduction. Worried about the
legal ramifications and his job
security as an actuary, he agreed
to speak identified only by his
middle name, Michael.
He first developed enlarged
breasts when he was going
through puberty, a few years
before he started smoking. His
mother took him to the pedia-
trician, who said the condition
was normal and temporary. But
Michael was among the small
percentage who did not grow out
of it.
For years, he would avoid
baring his chest. In games
where the choice was shirts vs.
skins, you never wanted to be
skins, he says.
Once he started having rela-
tionships with women, he wor-
ried about how they judged
his body. At 5-foot-11 and 190
pounds, he was not overweight,
and worked out three or four
times a week at the gym. I
benched and lifted, he says.
Underneath, I had pecs. But
no amount of exercise made his
breasts turn to muscle.
He had heard that pot could
cause man boobs. When I
was high, they felt a little more
noticeable, Michael says. But
I dont know if it was my state
of mind at the time. Since he
had had them for so long, he did
not think quitting would make a
difference.
This is, of course, an inflam-
matory topic. There is skepti-
cism either way, says Lo. But in
my experience, its very simple.
If youre a guy and youre wor-
ried about gynecomastia, you
shouldnt smoke pot because
theres a link.
That is the prevailing opin-
ion, says Robert X. Murphy Jr.,
president of the American Soci-
ety of Plastic Surgeons, noting
that it matches his own clini-
cal experience. With the recent
increase in men seeking breast
reduction surgery, he says,
empirical evidence is mounting.
In 2012, the society reports,
20,723 gynecomastia procedures
were performed, a 5 percent
increase from the year before.
The number of these surgeries
had fallen from their peak in the
late 1990s, when more insurers
were willing to cover the proce-
dure. Patients now pay between
$3,000 and $8,000 out of pocket
for the operation. Since 2006,
it has been among the top five
cosmetic surgical procedures for
men.
Emily Pollard, head of plastic
surgery for Lankenau Medical
Center, now performs one gyne-
comastia surgery a month, twice
as many as the year before. The
increase, she believes, is partly
driven by direct marketing by
companies that manufacture
liposuction equipment.
The largest percentage
of gynecomastia cases has no
clearly identifiable cause, says
Murphy. The rest are caused
by a constellation of condi-
tions. It is common for boys like
Michael to develop tender and
enlarged breasts during puber-
ty, although, as his pediatrician
said, most outgrow the condi-
tion. Additionally, more than
90 drugs have been linked to
gynecomastia, including some
antidepressants and antibiotics
and ulcer, heart, and HIV med-
ications.
Men who are obese are sus-
ceptible. So are bodybuilders
who use anabolic steroids, men
who use Propecia to prevent
hair loss, and those who self-ad-
minister testosterone, which the
body breaks down into two com-
pounds, one of which is similar
to estrogen. Because people may
be exposed to multiple risk fac-
tors, it can be difficult to identify
which are to blame.
We cant paint with a broad
stroke, says Murphy. But when
young men come to him to
remove their breasts, and they
are neither overweight nor tak-
ing any other of the trigger med-
ications, he says, it is reasonable
to deduce that pot is the likely
cause.
It is one of those things that
you ask about, he says. Wheth-
er people admit it or not is
another matter.

What? Us tired? Elderly less
exhausted than teens
By Emily Alpert Reyes
Los Angeles Times
Elderly people say they feel
much less tired than teenagers
and younger adults, according
to a surprising new study that
tracked how nearly 13,000 Amer-
icans rated their exhaustion.
The results counter earlier
studies and defy stereotypes of
older people as weak and tired,
said Laura Kudrna, a researcher
at the London School of Eco-
nomics and Political Science.
Whats even more surprising,
she said, is that the unexpected
results cant be explained away
by elderly people sleeping lon-
ger or doing fewer activities they
find tiring.
Theres something else
going on here, Kudrna wrote
in an email to the Los Angeles
Times.
Kudrna and a fellow research-
er analyzed answers from the
2010 American Time Use Sur-
vey, a nationally representative
survey sponsored by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics that includ-
ed nearly 13,000 U.S. residents.
Earlier rounds of the survey
explored how Americans spent
their time, but the 2010 survey
was the first to ask how people
felt during different activities.
Each person filled out a diary
of what they did the previous day
and how they felt about some of
their activities. They rated how
tired they felt while doing those
activities on a scale of 0 to 6.
Remarkably, Americans ages
65 and older reported being less
tired than older teens and young
twentysomethings, pegging
themselves almost one point
lower on the tiredness scale.
Tiredness dropped off after
the age of 40 and continued to
decrease with age, Kudrna said.
The results were controlled
for how healthy people thought
they were and other background
characteristics, such as gender,
ethnicity, number of children
and how much people slept.
Researchers also factored in how
much of the day was spent doing
tiring activities.
So why might older people
report feeling less tired than
teens, twentysomethings and
other adults?
Kudrna wonders if technol-
ogy might be making young-
er people feel more tired, or if
other, untracked health factors
are influencing the results.
The bottom line, however, is
that we dont know, Kudrna
said. And Id love to find out.
The study, recently published
online in the Journals of Geron-
tology, Series B: Psychological
Sciences and Social Sciences,
urged more research to under-
stand the unexpected results.

Transplanted
faces thrive
2 years after
operations
CHICAGO (AP) The
nations first full face transplant
patients are growing into their
new appearances literally.
Medical imaging shows new
blood vessel networks have
formed, connecting transplant-
ed skin with the patients facial
tissue, a finding that may help
improve future face transplant
surgeries, doctors announced
Wednesday.
Dallas Wiens, the first U.S.
man to get a full face transplant, is
a remarkable example of that suc-
cess. The 28-year-old Fort Worth
man attended Wednesdays
annual meeting of the Radiologi-
cal Society of North America with
his new wife and golden retriever
guide dog. Despite still visible
facial scars from the March 2011
surgery, he looks and sounds like
a recovered man.
My entire life is a miracle,
Wiens said at a news conference.
His face was burned off in
a 2008 painting accident at his
church. He was on a cherry-pick-
er lift when his head hit a high
voltage wire.
After surgery, Wiens lived
for two years with no facial fea-
tures and just a two-inch slit for
a mouth, until his transplant at
Bostons Brigham and Womens
Hospital.
Imaging studies on Wiens and
two other full face transplants
done at Brigham in 2011 show
that a network of new blood
vessels had formed just a year
after the operations. A fourth full
face transplant was performed at
Brigham earlier this year.
The same thing typically hap-
pens with other transplants and
it helps ensure their success by
boosting blood flow to the donor
tissue. But Brigham doctors say
this is the first time it has hap-
pened with full face transplants.
The finding could eventually
shorten the operating time for
future face transplants, Brigham
radiologist Dr. Frank Rybicki said.
The operations can take up to
30 hours and include attaching
spaghetti-thin arteries in the
patients existing tissue to the
donor face, but the findings sug-
gest attaching only two facial or
neck arteries instead of several is
sufficient, he said.
Dr. Samir Mardini, a Mayo
Clinic expert in reconstructive
transplant surgery, said blood
vessel reorganization occurs with
other types of tissue transplants
doctors call it neovascular-
ization and it helps ensure the
tissues survival by improving
blood flow.
Face transplants, using cadav-
er donors, are still experimen-
tal. Fewer than 30 have been
done since the first in 2005, said
Dr. Branko Bojovich, a surgeon
involved in a 2012 face transplant
at the University of Maryland
Medical Center.
He called the Boston teams
findings very reassuring for
surgeons and for future patients.
Were assuming that these
patients will hopefully go on to
live productive and long lives,
Bojovich said.
Wiens life before the acci-
dent was troubled, and he says
he misses nothing about it except
possibly his eyesight.
Ive learned more about
other people and myself, being
blind, he said.
He met his wife, Jamie Nash,
in a support group for burn
patients, and they were married
in March at the same church
where Wiens accident occurred.
That was a symbolic choice.
The most life-changing expe-
rience I had happened at that
church. I felt like the beginning
of my new life should happen
there, he said.
Nash, 30, had suffered severe
burns in a 2010 car crash in
which she lost control of her car
while texting.
The couple lives with his
6-year-old daughter and her
two children. Nash helps him
see and he helps her do things
that are difficult because of her
scarred, stiff arms.
Together, they work with a
foundation Nash set up to advo-
cate against texting and driv-
ing, visiting schools to bring the
message to teens. Wiens says the
work helps make his new life ful-
filling.
Our life is incredible, Nash
said. We are so much in love.

Stained Glass
The Color of Light
If youve ever said
Wow! as light streamed
through a stained glass
window, you know how
magical this art form
can be.
Stained glass artists
have been creating
beautiful windows for
many hundreds of years.
This week, The Mini Page
celebrates the season by
learning more about the
art you may enjoy as you
attend holiday church
services.
Early glass
Historians believe
ancient Romans learned
to make glass and used it
to let light into buildings.
In fact, colored glass may
have been used as early as the fifth
century A.D.
The first windows with patterns of
glass were set into wooden or plaster
frames. But these frames limited the
shapes the artist could use.
Later artists began to use a metal
called lead (led) to hold the glass.
It is malleable (MAL-ee-uh-bul), or
workable into different shapes.
An ancient art
The earliest examples that scientists
have found of glass and lead cut into
specific shapes date back 1,200 to
1,400 years.
Since that time, many styles of art
have been seen in windows. But the
process of creating stained glass has
not changed much over the centuries.
The Middle Ages
As Christianity
spread and became
more powerful between
the fifth and 15th
centuries, stained glass
became a popular way
to tell stories and honor
important figures from
the Bible and the church.
During medieval
times, books were
printed by hand and
hard to come by. Most
people could not read.
Today, early stained
glass and other art forms
are sometimes called
poor mans Bibles
because they pictured
stories for those who
couldnt afford books.
Cathedrals
Church authorities began building
massive cathedrals with larger
window openings. These houses of
worship were in areas with more people
and were centers for the community.
Most were built in the Gothic style,
which includes soaring pointed arches,
towers and highly decorated outside
walls.

part of the window shows the shepherds and the Magi, or wise men, visiting
the baby Jesus. This window was made in the late 1800s.

Book by Carol Schmidt
For religious leaders, stained
glass images were more than just
illustrations. They were symbols of faith.
For example, the white light of
the sun shining
through colored
glass was seen
as Cod reveaIIng
himself to people.
The lead frames
in the glass
symbolized the
prophets of the
church.
The first words in the Old
Testament of the Bible describe the
heavens and the Earth. The third
and fourfh verses read: And Cod
said, Let there be light; and there
vas IIghf. And Cod sav fhe IIghf,
and If vas good; and Cod dIvIded fhe
light from the darkness.
People in the Middle Ages thought
of light as being good, and darkness
as being bad or evil. So they wanted
to bring light into their churches.
The interior of St. Patricks Cathedral
in New York City features the pointed
arches and large stained glass windows
typical of Gothic architecture. Building of
this church began in 1858 and finished
in 1878.
Whats in a century?
When we talk about a century,
we are describing a period of 100
years. But then it gets
confusing: Even though
were living in the 2000s,
this is the 21st century.
Why Is fhaf7
Our years are counted roughly
from fhe fIme of Jesus' bIrfh. The
years after his birth are designated
as A.D. (Anno Domini, in Latin,
which means In the year of our
Lord), or C.E., meaning Common
Era. The years before his birth are
referred to as B.C. (Before Christ) or
B.C.E. (Before Common Era).
The first century, or 100 years,
affer Jesus'
birth were
the years
1 to 100.
The second
century
began with
the year 101 and ended
at 200. So the 20th century was the
1900s, and the 21st century is made
up of the 2000s.

Coloring Glass
The Mini Page Staff
Betty Debnam - Founding Editor and Editor at Large Lisa Tarry - Managing Editor Lucy Lien - Associate Editor Wendy Daley - Artist
The process of creating stained
glass has not changed very much
since medieval times. Would you like
fo fry If7
IIrsf, an arfIsf dravs a smaII
sketch of
the window
design.
Affer
the design is
approved by
the client, or
person who is
ordering the
window, the
artist draws
a full-scale
design. This
is called a
cartoon. (Full-scale means the same
size as the finished window will be.)
Today, cartoons are produced on
paper. In medieval times, artists
made the cartoons on parchment or
directly on a whitewashed table.
The artist indicates on the cartoon
where the lead lines will be and the
shape and color of the individual
panes of glass to be used.
CoIored gIass Is seIecfed and
cut to size. In earlier times, different
people did the different jobs: cutting
the glass, painting the glass and
placing the lead. But today, most
stained glass artists do all these jobs.
The arfIsf paInfs defaIIs on fhe
glass with brown or black paint.
Thicker paint will make more solid
lines; thinner paint can be brushed
after drying to give a shading effect.
Its all about chemistry
CIass Is made vhen sand, soda
and lime are heated to very high
temperatures. The mixture becomes
a liquid, and as it cools, it becomes
more and more stiff. Finally, it
becomes a transparent solid: glass.
Colored glass is usually made
by adding powdered metals to the
glass while it is still liquid. Different
metals result in different colors:
The sfrIps of Iead, caIIed cames,
are in sort
of an H or I
shape; the
glass fits into
the openings
between the top and bottom.
The gIass pIeces are IaId ouf on
a table according to the pattern. The
cames are bent around each piece.
Nails are driven into the table to
hold the lead in place as each section
is completed. When a panel is done,
the lead is
soldered
(SAW-
duhrd), or
melted, so
that the
sections
join together. Then the window joints
are sealed with a sticky substance
called mastic.

Next, the painted glass is fired in a kiln, a
super-hot oven that fuses the paint to the
glass. Then its allowed to cool slowly.
The Mini Page thanks Dr. Jasmine Allen,
curator of The Stained Glass Museum, Ely
Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, U.K., for help
with this issue.
