2M lose jobless Bullying everyone’s problem

Extended unemployment

Unless Congress changes
its mind, benefits that had

“I have a little boy, and

The average weekly unem-

widely depending on how
states calculate the payment.
Because of supplemental

Congressional opponents
of extending the benefits
beyond this month say fis-

come first. Republicans in
the House and Senate, along
with a handful of conserva-

open to extending benefits,
but not if it means adding
to the $13.8 trillion national

Even if Congress does
lengthen benefits, cash

Missing Mich. boys’ father
charged with kidnapping
BY CoreY WiLLiAMs
the Associated Press
MORENCI, Mich. —
The search for three young
Michigan brothers darkened
Tuesday as authorities warned
the public to expect the worst
and charged the children’s
father with their kidnapping.
Despite the somber news,
a small army of volunteers
spent a fourth day scouring
corn fields, campgrounds and
wooded areas near Morenci,
a small community 75 miles
southwest of Detroit along the
border with Ohio, looking for
the smallest scrap of evidence.
Searcher Bill Foster said
everyone in the town of 2,000
was hoping for a “Christmas
miracle” and the safe return
of 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-
old Alexander and 5-year-old
Tanner Skelton, who were last
seen at their father’s home on
Thanksgiving.
Morenci Police Chief Larry
Weeks’ admission Tuesday
that police don’t expect a
“positive outcome” to the case
after talking to the boys’ father,
39-year-old John Skelton, is
not what you want to hear,
Foster said.
“We’re very saddened by
the news, but the search has
to continue. We won’t quit the
search until we bring the boys
home.”
Iran ramps up its military
By BriAn MUrPHY
the Associated Press
DUBAI, United Arab
Emirates — In military
maneuvers and air shows,
Iran has been proudly tout-
ing advances in its air forces
and defenses, including radar
systems, anti-aircraft batter-
ies and new attack and recon-
naissance drones.
It’s a sign of a new priority
for Iran’s military — trying
to quickly bolster its ability
to patrol its skies in the belief
that U.S. or Israeli warplanes
or missiles could strike its
nuclear facilities.
But Iran’s highly publi-
cized unveilings of air systems
in recent months — including
an armed drone dubbed the
“ambassador of death” —
have not yet translated into
any significant tactical gains
for the Islamic Republic,
defense analysts say.
For the most part, Iran’s
air attack capabilities still
depend heavily on domes-
tically modified versions of
long-outdated warplanes,
including former Soviet
MiGs and American F14A
Tomcats from the 1970s, and
its anti-aircraft batteries and
drones remain untested, the
analysts say.
“What we see from Iran
is a lot of show and a lot of
talk, but nothing that comes
close to being a game chang-
er,” said John Pike, director
of the security analyst group
globalsecurity.org based in
Elida Road, Lima

Wednesday, December 1, 2010
Locals began combing
through fields and woods on
Saturday, the day after the
boys’ mother reported them
missing and the day after John
Skelton tried to hang himself.
Skelton, who was released
from a medical facility in Lucas
County, Ohio, on Tuesday,
initially told investigators that
he gave his sons to a female
acquaintance to hand over to
his estranged wife. Police say
he was lying.
The FBI arrested Skelton
after his release Tuesday, and
he was charged in Lenawee
County, across the state line
in Michigan, with three counts
of parental kidnapping, Weeks
said. Weeks said Skelton has
requested an attorney, and
his officers had not spoken to
Skelton on Tuesday.
Tanya Skelton, 45, filed
for divorce in September. A
judge gave her custody of the
boys, but she and John Skelton
reached an agreement on visi-
tation.
Police on Tuesday had
the grim job of telling Tanya
Skelton’s family — her moth-
er, specifically — that it was
growing unlikely the children
would be found alive.
Her reaction: “Imagine your
worst nightmare come true,”
Weeks said. “How would you
respond?”
The search is expected to
Alexandria, Virginia.
Still, Iran clearly is trying
to close security gaps around
nuclear sites — including
Iran’s main uranium enrich-
ment lab — and blunt the
edge that the Pentagon and
Israel gain from drone tech-
nology. Iranian commanders
now view drones as a critical
tool, including to monitor the
U.S. 5th Fleet based across
the Gulf in Bahrain.
The Americans have con-
firmed they’ve shot down an
unspecified number of Iranian
surveillance drones over Iraq.
Iran, meanwhile, has boasted
that its drones have taken
reconnaissance photos of
U.S. warships in the Gulf.
Iran’s other military
emphasis has been improving
its long-range missile pro-
gram. Washington believes
Iran may have obtained
advanced missiles from North
Korea, known as BM-25,
which could extend the strike
range for Iran from the known
1,200 miles (1,900 kilome-
ters) to up to 2,400 miles
(4,000 kilometers), according
to State Department cables
obtained by the website
WikiLeaks and made public
Sunday. Such missiles could
hit well beyond Iran’s top
regional enemy Israel and
into Europe or Russia.
But the Iranian effort
to build up its air power is
mostly a homegrown project,
tweaking older technology or
using domestic know-how to
build its first generations of
drone spy and attack aircraft.
It comes at a time when its
419-225-PACK
rivals across the Gulf, led

continue for at least several
more days, and then when-
ever a tip comes in, authorities
said.
Lee Ann Underhill, a
Morenci resident who went
to school with Tanya Skelton,
searched for the boys between
her long overnight shift at
a plastics factory and a few
hours’ sleep. She said she
“knew” the boys, and like oth-
ers here, she said finding them
is personal.
“I’ve been through fields,
creek beds and woods,”
Underhill said after returning
from a search Tuesday after-
noon. “We’re looking for any-
thing out of the ordinary.”
Lenawee Sheriff’s
Department Corporal Jeff
Paterson said he was part of
a large group that scoured an
83-acre campsite in Ohio on
Monday that’s a few miles
south of Morenci.
“There were three ponds,
sewage lagoons, then a wood-
ed area with a creek,” he said.
Several barns in the area also
were searched.
Paterson said when the ter-
rain allows, grid searches are
done, with searchers spreading
out 10 feet apart and walking
in the same direction. Eyes
are focused on the ground at
their feet.
“Do it nice and slow so you
don’t miss anything,” he said.
attacks on Iran’s nuclear
sites. Afterward, the head
of the Revolutionary Guard,
Brig. Gen. Mohammad Ali
Jafari, claimed last week that
his forces are “more prepared
than ever before” to counter
military threats.
But many Western mili-
tary observers say Iran is still
just trying to squeeze what it
can from decades-old weap-
ons.
“What Iranians have
produced isn’t really much
more advanced than systems
other nations deployed in
the late 1970s,” said James
Lewis, director of technology
and public policy program
at the Center for Strategic
and International Studies in
Washington. “There is a lot of
bluster and exaggeration. The
real purpose is political — to
show that they can defend
themselves, exert power in
the region and aren’t deterred
by the embargo.”
Before the 1979 Islamic
Revolution, Iran’s air forces
were considered second only
to Israel in the Middle East,
built up by aid from the coun-
try’s then-ally the United
States. But after the ouster
of the pro-American shah,
the new ruling clerics purged
the combat pilot ranks and
strongly emphasized ground
troops during the grinding
1980-88 war with Iraq.
Its standing forces remain
its military centerpiece,
including a regular military,
the even better-equipped
Revolutionary Guard with
120,000 personnel and an
estimated 1 million volun-
teer militia fighters known
as Basiji.
But Iran restructured its
military last year in an effort
to improve its air defenses.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei ordered a new
branch to be split off from the
air force to deal exclusively
with threats to the country’s
airspace.
Since then, Iran has invest-
ed heavily in advances in sur-
veillance and attack drones.
In August, Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
unveiled the latest addition
to the country’s drone fleet:
a 13-foot-long (four-meter-
long) unmanned aircraft —
called the “ambassador of
death” — which can carry up
to four cruise missiles with a
claimed range of 620 miles
(1,000 kilometers).

IN HISTORY
By the Associated Press
Today is Wednesday, Dec.
1, the 335th day of 2010. There
are 30 days left in the year.
The Jewish Festival of Lights,
Hanukkah, begins at sunset.
today’s Highlight in
History:
On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa
Parks, a black seamstress, was
arrested after refusing to give
up her seat to a white man on
a Montgomery, Ala., city bus.
The incident sparked a year-
long boycott of the buses by
blacks.
on this date:
In 1824, the presidential
election was turned over to the
U.S. House of Representatives
when a deadlock developed
between John Quincy Adams,
Andrew Jackson, William H.
Crawford and Henry Clay.
(Adams ended up the winner.)
In 1860, the Charles Dickens
novel “Great Expectations”
was first published in weekly
serial form.
In 1909, the first kibbutz
was founded in the Jordan
Valley by a group of Jewish
pioneers; the collective set-
tlement became known as
Degania Alef.
In 1910, Porfirio Diaz was
inaugurated for an eighth term
as President of Mexico. (He
was overthrown in the Mexican
Revolution and forced to
flee the following year.) The
Miami Herald was first pub-
lished under that name (it was
known under previous owner-
ship as the Miami Morning
News-Record).
In 1921, the Navy flew
the first nonrigid dirigible to
use helium; the C-7 traveled
from Hampton Roads, Va., to
Washington, D.C.
In 1934, Soviet commu-
nist official Sergei M. Kirov,
an associate of Josef Stalin,
was assassinated in Leningrad,
resulting in a massive purge.
In 1969, the U.S. govern-
ment held its first draft lottery
since World War II.
In 1990, British and French
workers digging the Channel
Tunnel between their countries
finally met after knocking out
a passage in a service tunnel
large enough to walk through
and shake hands.
Five years ago: A roadside
bomb killed 10 U.S. Marines
near Fallujah, Iraq. Pakistani
officials reported that Hamza
Rabia, one of al-Qaida’s
top five leaders, was killed
by Pakistani security forces
near the Afghan border. South
Africa’s highest court ruled in
favor of gay marriage. A jury
in Sarasota, Fla. recommended
the death sentence for Joseph
Smith, the killer of 11-year-
old Carlie Brucia. A dog and
its owner found the bodies of
Sarah and Philip Gehring, two
children who’d been fatally
shot by their father and buried
in rural Ohio.
one year ago: President
Barack Obama ordered 30,000
more U.S. troops into the war
in Afghanistan but promised
during a speech to cadets at
the U.S. Military Academy at
West Point to begin withdrawal
in 18 months. General Motors
Co. CEO Frederick “Fritz”
Henderson stepped down after
the board determined that the
company wasn’t changing
quickly enough.

Lawsuit charges
stun gun led
to brain damage
COLUMBUS (AP) — An
Ohio man has filed a federal
lawsuit accusing a police offi-
cer of using excessive force
with a stun gun that caused the
man’s brain damage.
The lawsuit on behalf of
Matthew Hook was filed
Tuesday in U.S. District
Court in Columbus against
the Columbus suburb of Perry
Township, its board of trustees
and a township police officer.
The lawsuit says Hook
was scaling a fence to escape
police when he was stunned
and fell headfirst onto con-
crete. It charges that the
defendants violated his con-
stitutional rights.
The lawsuit seeks unspeci-
fied compensatory damages
against the officer and the
township and punitive dam-
ages against the officer.
Police Chief Robert
Oppenheimer said he had
not yet seen the lawsuit and
that the officer would not be
responding to the media.
A message seeking com-
ment was left for the township
board chairman.
FedEx to slash
more than 200
SW Ohio jobs
WEST CHESTER (AP) —
FedEx Corp. has said more
than 200 jobs will be cut when
it closes a shipping terminal in
southwest Ohio in January.
FedEx spokeswoman Ann
Saccomano said Tuesday that
the company will close its
National LTL facility in West
Chester north of Cincinnati
on Jan. 29. She says the 222
employees losing jobs were
notified.
The closing is part of the
Memphis, Tenn.-based com-
pany’s integration of its short-
haul and long-haul freight
pickup and delivery networks
announced in September.
Saccomano says the networks
were operating independently
and about 100 facilities that
overlapped will close.
Saccomano says some
employees are expected to
find other FedEx jobs and
there will be no interruption in
customer service.
Priest’s sentence
being appealed
AKRON (AP) — Both
sides are appealing the sen-
tence given an Ohio Roman
Catholic priest in a federal tax
fraud case.
Sixty-eight-year-old
Rev. Samuel Ciccolini
of Akron was ordered in
October to pay nearly $3.5
million in restitution to an
alcohol and drug rehabili-
tation center he founded.
He also was fined $350,000
fine and was sentenced to
one day in prison.
The Akron Beacon Journal
reports defense attorneys
unhappy with the financial
penalty filed an appeal on
Monday. Federal prosecutors
who wanted more prison time
for the priest filed their own
appeal last week.
Ciccolini pleaded guilty
in July to a false tax return
count and a charge of struc-
turing financial transactions
to evade federal reporting
requirements.
Bullying
(Continued from page 1)
“We need to foster a commu-
nity of reverence, mutual respect
and dignity for all. We need to
equip our students with tools to
change peer behavior. Bullying
affects the whole school. It
won’t go away on its own and
it undermines the academic mis-
sion, jeopardizes the safety of
the school, impacts learning and
teaching in negative ways and
can generate serious social and/
or legal consequences. If a stu-
dent doesn’t feel safe in school,
that can be prosecutable.”
Parents who suspect their
child may be a target should
look for:
• Headaches and stomach
aches;
• Difficulty eating and/or
sleeping;
• Frequent nightmares;
• Sadness or depression;
• Moodiness or low self-
esteem;
• Fear of attending school;
• Lack of friends;
• Damaged, torn or missing
clothing or personal items; and
• Cuts, bruises and scratches.
Parents of those who bully
can look for signs, too:
• High self-esteem (arro-
gance);
• Low empathy;
• Highly competitive;
• Overly aggressive;
• Demanding;
• Problems with authority;
• Writing a revenge list; and
• Misguided leadership
skills.
“What we need to remem-
ber is that bullies have had
something happen to them that
makes them act the way they
do. Bullies are children of God,
too. They need our help and
guidance to change their behav-
ior,” DiLallo said.

After losing her computer

ago, Reinman scraped by with
her savings and a weekly $351
unemployment check. When her
nest egg vanished in July, she
started using her unemployment
to pay off her mortgage and
stopped paying her credit card
bills. She recently informed a
creditor she couldn’t make pay-
ments on a loan because her
benefits were ending.
“I’m more concerned about
trying to hang onto my house than
paying you,” she told the creditor.
Ninety-nine weeks may seem
like a long time to find a job. But

jobs that vanished in the Great
Recession have not returned.
The private sector added about

STATE/LOCAL
State senator to finish term
By ANN SANNER
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — A state
senator contended Tuesday
that he is not defying voters’
wishes by forgoing the Ohio
House seat he won this fall to
remain in the Senate.
Republican Tim Grendell of
Chesterland in northeast Ohio
told his Senate colleagues in
a Monday memo that he plans
to stay a senator. He has two
years left in his current term.
In the memo, Grendell
said he wants to remain in the
Senate to complete work on
issues such as private property
rights and home septic sys-
tem regulations. He declined
Tuesday to further explain
his reasons for staying in the
Senate and referred reporters
to his note.
“With the new dynamics in
the House and Senate, this will
allow me the best opportunity
to serve my constituents at this
time,” he said in the memo.
Grendell’s decision to stay
on the job comes as his party
picked its new leadership.

COLUMBUS — As
another winter approach-
es, the Office of the Ohio
Consumers’ Counsel (OCC)
reminds consumers having
difficulty paying their ener-
gy bills that several options
are available to help stay
connected.
Continuing through April
15, the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio
(PUCO) has instructed the
state’s investor-owned elec-
tric and natural gas utili-
ties to reconnect or main-
tain services for residential
customers either discon-
nected or threatened with
disconnection. According to
the “Winter Reconnection
Order,” customers can have
their service restored by
paying the amount owed
or $175, whichever is less,
plus a $36 reconnection fee.
This option is available on a
one-time basis.
In addition to the win-
ter reconnection provision,
the following federally and
state-funded programs are
available:
Percentage of Income
Payment Plan (PIPP Plus)
PIPP is an extended
payment arrangement that

centage of the household
income. As a part of the

president of the chamber when
a new session of the General
Assembly begins in January.
Niehaus will replace Sen.
Bill Harris of Ashland who is
term limited. Sen. Keith Faber
of Celina will serve as presi-
dent pro tempore.
Niehaus “favorably agreed”
with Grendell’s decision to
stay in the Senate, Grendell
wrote in his memo.
Grendell told reporters he
was not going against the will
of the voters. “Remember, I
was elected to both seats,” he
said.
A spokesman for the state
Democratic Party criticized
the senator’s decision and
suggested it was a political
scheme.
“Sen. Grendell is making a
mockery of our election sys-
tem and pulling a fast one on
the voters by refusing to take
the House seat he was elected
to,” Seth Bringman said in a
statement.
More than 30,400 people
voted for Grendell in the
House race, according to unof-
ficial election results from the
Secretary of State’s office. He
will administer the PIPP for
electricity customers.
Under PIPP, if heating
with gas, customers pay
10 percent of the monthly
household income to the gas
company and five percent
to the electric company. (If
monthly household income
is at or below 50 percent of
the Federal Poverty level,
most PIPP customers will
pay three percent instead of
five percent for the second-
ary source of heat. If the
utility company provides
both gas and electric, or if
heating with electricity only,
customers pay 15 percent
of the monthly household
income. The community
action agency or utility com-
pany will inform customers
of their PIPP amount.

Services (OCS), Ohio

In 2004 he garnered almost
96,000 votes — about 60 per-
cent of the vote — to take his
Senate seat.
Grendell told his colleagues
he would work with House
Speaker-elect Bill Batchelder,
a Republican, to find “a repre-
sentative that reflects the views
and values of the district.”
Recent history led to spec-
ulation that Grendell’s wife

PIPP Eligibility
Requirements:
To be eligible for the PIPP
program, a customer must
receive his or her primary or
secondary heat source from
a company regulated by the
Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio (PUCO), must have
a total household income
which is at or below 150
percent of the federal pov-
erty level and must apply
for all energy assistance
programs for which he or
she is eligible.
How to apply for the
PIPP
When applying for an
Emergency HEAP benefit,
customers must also enroll
in PIPP or another payment
plan. The Combined Energy
Assistance Application must
be completed at the local
agency. The agency staff
will forward the necessary

Toledo sheriff
trial wrapping up
TOLEDO (AP) — A pros-
ecutor told jurors Tuesday that
a sheriff accused of covering
up an inmate’s death lied dur-
ing the investigation and in
testimony, while the sheriff’s
attorney said his client com-
mitted no crimes and didn’t
cover up anything.
The prosecution and
defense statements came in
closing arguments that began
Tuesday in the trial of Lucas
County Sheriff James Telb
and three other co-defendants.
Telb and three of his cur-
rent or former employees are
charged with covering up
the death of murder suspect
Carlton Benton in 2004, and
one of the men is accused of
causing Benton’s death.
Prosecutors have said
Benton died after being beaten
and put in a “sleeper hold” by
deputies at the county jail in
Toledo.
Federal Prosecutor Kristy
Parker told jurors that the
defendants showed “a bla-
tant disregard for the law.”

may vary depending on
individual circumstances
and the amount of federal
funding available.
Budget Billing
Budget billing allows
consumers to spread ener-
gy costs over a 12-month
period to have more uni-
form monthly payments.
Consumers should contact
their utility company to
learn more about the pro-
gram.
Payment Plans
When facing disconnec-
tion, consumers may pro-
pose to their utility compa-
ny a payment arrangement
that works best for them.
Utilities are required to pro-
vide one of the following
payment plans:
“One-ninth” payment
plan - Customers make nine
equal payments on their out-
standing balance along with
a budget payment amount.
The budget amount spreads
electric or natural gas pay-
ments uniformly over 12
months;
“One-sixth” payment
plan - Customers pay one-
sixth of the total past due
amount in six equal pay-
ments along with current
charges; or
“One-third” payment
plan - Customers pay one-
third of the total bill (cur-
rent monthly charges plus
past due charges) each
month. Utilities are required
to offer this plan during the
winter heating season (Nov.
1 – April 15).

Lame-duck agenda

Democrats, on borrowed

Interpol placed Julian

The Interpol alert is likely

whose whereabouts are pub-
licly unknown.
In Washington, the State
Department severed its com-
puter files from the govern-
ment’s classified network,
officials said, as U.S. and
world leaders tried to clean
up from the leak that sent
America’s sensitive docu-
ments onto computer screens
around the globe.
By temporarily pulling the
plug, the U.S. significantly
reduced the number of gov-
ernment employees who can
read important diplomatic
messages. It was an extraor-
dinary hunkering down,
prompted by the disclosure
of hundreds of thousands of
those messages this week by
Pentagon: Gays serving openly won’t hurt military
By ANNE FLAHERTY
and ANNE GEARAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Gay
troops can serve openly in the
armed forces without harming
the military’s ability to fight,
the Pentagon’s top leaders
declared Tuesday, calling for
the 17-year-old “don’t ask,
don’t tell” ban to be scrapped
and pointing to a new survey
to show most troops won’t
mind.
President Barack Obama,
citing the troop poll, urged
the Senate to repeal the ban
before adjourning in the next
few weeks, but there is still
no indication GOP objec-
tions can be overcome with
just a few weeks left in the
postelection lame-duck ses-
sion. Still, the survey did put
new pressure on Republican
opponents, led by Sen. John
McCain, who say efforts to
repeal the law are politically
motivated and dangerous at a
time of two wars.
Defense Secretary Robert
Gates said the ban on openly
gay military service “requires
people to lie,” and he called
next year.
Take the so-called Dream
Act, a measure to give young
people whose parents brought
illegally before they were
16 a path to legal status by
going to college or joining the
armed forces.
The measure has enjoyed
some degree of biparti-
san support in the past, and
Democratic Sen. Harry Reid,
the majority leader, vowed
last month — in the thick
of his tough re-election fight
in heavily Hispanic Nevada
— to hold a vote on it when
Congress returned to finish its
end-of-the-year business. He
said Tuesday he’d move to
overcome GOP objections and
force a test vote, although it’s
unclear when one will occur.
Hispanic voters also
played a major role in sparing
other Democrats — includ-
ing Sens. Michael Bennet of
Colorado and Barbara Boxer
of California — from being
toppled by a GOP wave.
“There was a firewall in
the West where Latino voters
turned out in big numbers to
reward people who champi-
oned them,” said Frank Sharry
of America’s Voice, an immi-
grant advocacy group. “We’re
going to try to make it pain-
ful” for those who oppose
efforts to give illegal immi-
grants a path to legal status,
he added.
Most Republicans vehe-
WikiLeaks, the self-styled
whistleblower organization.
The documents revealed
that the U.S. is still con-
founded about North Korea’s
nuclear military ambitions,
that Iran is believed to have
received advanced missiles
capable of targeting Western
Europe and — perhaps most
damaging to the U.S. — that
the State Department asked
its diplomats to collect DNA
samples and other personal
information about foreign
leaders.
While Assange, the found-
er of WikiLeaks, taunted the
U.S. from afar on Tuesday,
lawyers from across the gov-
ernment were investigating
whether it could prosecute
him for espionage, a senior
defense official said. The offi-
cial, not authorized to com-
ment publicly, spoke only on
condition of anonymity.
There have been sugges-
tions that Assange or oth-
ers involved in the leaks
could be prosecuted under
the Espionage Act, but the
question could be compli-
cated. Who and what is he
and his website? He has por-
trayed himself as a crusad-
ing journalist, and the Justice
Department has steered clear
of prosecuting journalists for
publishing leaked secrets.
Meanwhile, State
Department spokesman P.J.
Crowley sought to reassure
the world that U.S. diplo-
mats were not spies, even
as he sidestepped questions
about why they were asked
for quick Senate action.
Senate Democrats plan to
force a vote in December.
Senate Republicans were gen-
erally silent following release
of the Pentagon recommenda-
tions for repealing the ban.
Although historic,
Tuesday’s recommendation
that the military for the first
time allow openly gay people
came with a caveat that also
frustrates many supporters of
repeal. Gates wants an indefi-
nite grace period while the
Pentagon prepares for the pol-
icy change and phases it in.
“It would be unwise to
push ahead with full imple-
mentation of repeal before
more can be done to prepare
the force, in particular those
ground combat specialties
and units, for what could be
a disruptive and disorienting
change,” Gates said.
Obama has called it a top
priority to repeal the 1993
law that bans openly gay ser-
vice. But gay rights groups
have complained that he and
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid have done too little to
see it through, focusing their
postelection efforts instead on
www.delphosherald.com
mently oppose the Dream Act,
saying it amounts to amnesty.
Hispanic groups have
pushed hard for the legisla-
tion, which targets the most
sympathetic of the millions
of undocumented people —
those brought to the United
States as children, who in
many cases consider them-
selves American, speak
English and have no ties to
or family living in their native
countries.
Miffed that President
Barack Obama has not done
more to press for a broad
immigration overhaul to give
undocumented people a path
to legal status, the groups say
the least Democrats can do is
push through the more limited
bill for young people.
Republicans decry the
strategy of acting on such
issues during the lame-duck
session, accusing Democrats
of playing politics and ignor-
ing the message voters sent
Nov. 2.
“It’s unclear how long our
friends across the aisle will
continue to resist the mes-
sage of the election and cling
to the liberal wish list,” Sen.
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the
minority leader, said before
he joined the senior members
of both parties for a White
House meeting with Obama.
“With just a few weeks left
before the end of the year,
they’re still clinging to the
wrong priorities.”
to provide DNA samples, iris
scans, credit card numbers,
fingerprints and other deeply
personal information about
leaders at the United Nations
and in foreign capitals.
Diplomats in the
Paraguayan capital of
Asuncion, for instance, were
asked in a secret March 2008
cable to provide “biometric
data, to include fingerprints,
facial images, iris scans, and
DNA” for numerous promi-
nent politicians. They were
also asked to send “identities
information” on terrorist sus-
pects, including “fingerprints,
arrest photos, DNA and iris
scans.”
In Burundi, Rwanda and
the Democratic Republic of
Congo the requests included
information about political,
military and intelligence
leaders.
“Data should include
e-mail addresses, telephone
and fax numbers, fingerprints,
facial images, DNA, and iris
scans,” the cable said.
Every year, the intelli-
gence community asks the
State Department for help
collecting routine informa-
tion such as biographical data
and other “open source” data.
DNA, fingerprint and other
information was included in
the request because, in some
countries, foreigners must
provide that information to
the U.S. before entering an
embassy or military base, a
U.S. official said, speaking
on condition of anonymity to
discuss intelligence matters.
tax cuts and a nuclear arms
treaty with Russia before
Republicans gain congressio-
nal strength when lawmakers
return in January.
In the report, the study’s
co-chairs, Pentagon General
Counsel Jeh Johnson and
Army Gen. Carter Ham, wrote,
“We are both convinced that
our military can do this, even
during this time of war.”
Gates said he didn’t think
the Pentagon would have
to rewrite its regulations on
housing, benefits or fraterni-
zation to accommodate gays
if they were allowed to serve
openly.
Adm. Mike Mullen, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said Tuesday he agreed
with Gates that “this is a
policy change that we can
make and we can do it in a
relatively low-risk fashion,”
given time to prepare forces
and leaders for new rules and
expectations.
The Pentagon survey
found that some two-thirds of
troops don’t care if the ban is
lifted. Of the 30 percent who
objected, most of them were
in combat units.

Eichers give thanks,
count blessings
BY LOVINA EICHER
The Thanksgiving holi-
day for 2010 is now history.
Today is nice and sunny, but
cold. My husband, Joe, has
returned to work since not
having been on the job since
Nov. 16. This week, they plan
to work 5 days which we are
thankful for.
Over Thanksgiving we
were reminded of all the
many blessings we have. Let
us thank God every
day and not just on
Thanksgiving Day.
Another blessing
to us is that daugh-
ter Verena has
been doing very
well for almost 11
days now. In the
past 11 days, she
has only had two
post-concussive
episodes that have
only lasted a couple of hours.
This is the most improvement
we have seen in her since she
first got injured on June 2. We
pray that her brain is finally
healing after 5 1/2 months of
post-concussions. We want to
thank all of you readers that
have kept her in your prayers.
Also for the cards, get well
wishes, and encouragement.
It was all greatly appreciated
and meant a lot to Verena.
We are also glad for the
school staff’s consideration
and helpfulness with Verena
during this school term.
Verena will be 13 next week
already. It is so hard to believe
our third child is entering
the teenage years. May they
always let God guide them
through life.
We enjoyed Thanksgiving
dinner at Jacob and Emma’s
house. I cooked and stuffed
the 21 pound turkey here at
home first, before we left
for Emma’s. The turkey was
put into a covered roaster
and then in a cardboard box.
The turkey fit nicely under
the buggy seat for the ride
to Emma and Jacob‘s. The
warm turkey also made the
buggy smell good and made
the floor feel nice and warm!
Emma and Jacob had set
the table for us all to sit down
and eat when we arrived. We
were a total of 18 at the table.

Residents of The Meadows of Kalida recently

dearly and it seems we should
still see her smiling that sweet
little smile of hers. She is in
God’s care and we know there
is a reason for it all.
Daughter Elizabeth
joined her friend Timothy on
Thanksgiving for a brunch
with his family. That worked
out real well because they
were then able to join us for
noon dinner at Jacob’s. On
the menu was turkey, dress-
ing, mashed potatoes, gravy,
corn, lettuce
salad, vegetables
and dip, cheese,
deviled eggs, hot
peppers, home-
made bread, but-
ter and jam. For
dessert we had
pumpkin, cherry,
apple crumb and
pecan pies, pump-
kin roll and ice
cream. There was
a lot of food leftover but it
made for some easy meals the
next day. We spent the after-
noon playing games, singing
and visiting. The day went
way too fast.
On Friday, we did laundry
but it was so cold and windy
outside that we decided to
hang the clothes to dry in the
basement. Clothes dry very
well with the coal stove in
full gear now. We plan to do
laundry again today and with
the temperature below freez-
ing, we will again hang the
clothes inside.
Saturday, we had a short
visit from Uncle Joe and
Aunt Betty of Geneva, Ind.
Their plans were to visit my
sisters Susan and Verena and
Emma and Jacob and family
after they left. After that they
were planning to visit with
brother Albert on their way
back home.
Yesterday we had a quiet
day just here at home, relax-
ing and just taking it easy.
In the afternoon, the chil-
dren enjoyed a pony ride. It
warmed up into the mid-40s
so they decided to hitch our
pony Stormy up and go for a
ride. With cold weather arriv-
ing, the children are getting
out their hats, gloves and so
forth. Joe put up some coat
hangers but they were soon
filled with all the extra coats.

College football keeps a’changing ALL-OHIO DIV. III/IV

The Ohio State Buckeyes will be for- else? — Moolah. The Associated Press DEFENSE: Linemen—Tony Davis,

ever kicking themselves in the hind end
for missing out on another shot at the
national-title game.
All because they played a lousy game
at Madison.
Next year’s Big Ten will be a bit dif-
ferent, with 12 teams now in it — will
they call it the Midwest Big 12? — and
a title game clash to decide who wins the
conference.
The only negative I see is how will
the 2-division format affect The Game
— OSU and Michigan — as the annual
season-ender.
I’m also not sure of how the way the
teams were split up is the best way but
any way they could have done it would
have meant some problems. Still, I’m
not sure putting OSU in the “Northwest
Division” — or whatever they will call
it — makes much sense.
I do believe the moves we saw last sum-
mer — and the ones continuing, like TCU
going to the Big East (the Big East??) —
will eventually result in a 4-team nation-
al championship playoff, with the bowl
games very much involved.
I think you will see more expansion
in the Big 10, the Pac 10, the SEC and
a combination of the ACC and Big East,
which will be where the playoff combat-
ants will come from. It may not be five
years before this goes off; it may be three
years when it finally comes through.
I can’t figure out how TCU belongs
in the Big East — basically the New
JIM METCALFE
Metcalfe’s
Musings
England states — but I’m not sure how
Colorado will fit in the Pac 10.
I think you will see more than a few
puzzling additions — as well as a few
that will make a lot more sense.
The firing of Randy Shannon by the
Miami Hurricanes shocked me and I
am sure more than a few of their fans.
After all, he was rebuilding this once-
dominant program the proper way.
Unlike the earlier incarnations of this
program, from Jerome Brown’s battle
fatigues to some of the other excesses of a
bygone era, Shannon — who had ties to the
program for decades, including as a former
player — was rebuilding the Hurricanes
with more high-character guys that were
also pretty good student-athletes.
The program didn’t have the black
eyes it had before and even by the admis-
sion of Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt,
everything was going right.
Except for one thing; he was 28-22 in
four years. He hadn’t won a bowl game
or an ACC title. Fans weren’t coming to
Sun Life Stadium as they once did to the
Orange Bowl.
Apparently, it came down to — what
I always love it when an AD makes
a statement after firing a guy that “great
days are ahead for this program.”
Does he have a crystal ball?
Does that not also mean that the guy
he just fired put them in that position
with his recruiting?
Even if he gets someone such as Jon
Gruden, Mike Leach or some other big
name, does that automatically mean the
guy will win? There’s a reason some —
not all — of these big names are actually
available, right?
Then there’s this parting shot: “we’re
going to do whatever it takes to get back
to the top of the college football world.”
You already had a guy doing it the
right way and you fired him. Does that
mean WHATEVER it takes — right or
wrong?
Not a consoling thought. Isn’t that
what got them in trouble in the first
place?
Here’s the deal: when Miami was
winning, they only really had two rivals
in the state to recruit against: FSU and
Florida. Now, every school in America,
including Florida upstarts like South
Florida, Central Florida and the like, is
mining the lucrative football grounds of
the state for blue-chippers, just like they
are California, Texas and Louisiana, and
they are getting some of the jewels.
In other words, it’s a lot harder to keep
recruiting top talent year after year when
you have many more people in the game.

T-Birds squeak by Lady Musketeers in overtime

By FRANK GERMAN
The Delphos Herald
fjohngerman@gmail.com
LIMA — Fort Jennings trav-
eled to Lima Central Catholic
for girls basketball action
Tuesday night.
The game went to the wire
and then some, going into over-
time with LCC just squeezing
by the Musketeers 51-45.
The game was a barn burner
from beginning to end. The
second quarter looked liked
LCC was going to pull away
and take command of the game.
The score was tied at 10 when
LCC’s Madison George started
the scoring at the 7:36 mark
with a 5-foot jumper, adding
a layup at 6:42. Thunderbird
Stacie Allen hit a 3-pointer at
the 4:59 point from the top of
the key to make it a 17-10 lead
and teammate Ariel McDuffie
hit 1-of-2 free throws at the
4:41 mark. Allen got another
layup 1:39 later to put the hosts
up 20-10, their biggest lead in
the game. Fort Jennings started
fighting back with a short jump-
er from Kelsey Von Lehmden,
followed by a 16-footer from
Morgan Schroeder. LCC’s
Tylyn Taylor tried to stop the
Musketeers comeback with a
16-foot jumper but Kristina
Clippinger replied with a deuce.
Von Lehmden hit a 3-pointer at
the buzzer — on a second-
chance opportunity — to make
it a 22-19 LCC lead.
“It looked like we were
evenly matched with similar
teams and no height advantage
for either team and it seemed
it would come down to the
end,” Fort Jennings Coach Matt
Myerholtz opined.
LCC came out swing-
ing in the period. McDuffie
had back-to-back buckets but
Jennings was not deterred and
Wallenhorst hit a 3-pointer from
the right wing, another from the
left wing and Macy Schroeder
put in 2 points at 3:30 to pull
Jennings within 30-29. LCC’s
Lexi Kingsberry replied with
a layup but Wallenhorst hit
1-of-2 free throws and Lauren
Norbeck got an 8-footer with
seconds left to tie the game
at 32.
“You have to give Jenning
credit tonight. We had them on
the ropes a couple of times and
we were up in the second quar-
ter and the fought back to come
within 3. They took the lead in
the fourth quarter, so I have to
give them a lot of credit,” LCC
coach Bill Taflinger relayed.
The forth quarter was a see-
saw battle. Neither team could
get a big lead and a 17-footer
by Wallenhorst gave the guests
a 43-42 lead. Allen got fouled
and made the front end of two
shots with 31 seconds left in
regulation to tie the game up at
43. McDuffie got fouled with
half a second on the clock to
put her at the line for two shots
to win the game. She missed
the first and Myerholtz took a
timeout to ice her for the sec-
ond. The icing worked because
she missed the second; Allen
got the rebound and putt it
right back up but the ball hit
the backboard and bounced off,
ending regulation.
LCC won the tip for over-
time and 24 seconds in, George
got a 3-pointer from the right
wing. Allen added a layup with
2:49 left. The Musketeers had
to start fouling. With 50 sec-
onds left, they put McDuffie at
the line shooting the 1-and-1.
She hit the first for a 49-43
lead. The only points scored
in overtime for the Musketeers
came with just 25 seconds left
when Clippinger hit a short
jumper. The final points of the
game came with just .7 seconds
left when Allen hit both of her
foul shots.
“They hit the 3-pointer and
then the two which made us
tight and when you draw first
blood in overtime you get a
little bit of an advantage there,”
Myerholtz added.
“Our girls hung in there
when the going was tough and
we missed a couple of free
throws at the end of regulation.
The girls picked each other up,
though, and that is what good
teams do and made some good
plays in overtime to help us,”
Taflinger added.
The JV score was LCC 30,
Fort Jennings 14.
Fort Jennings falls to 2-1
overall and their next contest
is Saturday at Bluffton. Lima
Central Catholic improves to
2-1 and hosts Columbus Grove
December 9th.

Lady Jeffcats rout Apaches
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — Fairview’s
girls basketball team pre-
sented a “big” challenge
Tuesday night at Jefferson
High School, bringing in a
size advantage over the Lady
Wildcats.
Delphos used its speed
and quickness advantage to
compensate, forcing 36 Lady
Apaches miscues (with 24
steals) to fuel an up-tempo
attack and roll up a 80-44
rout.
After Fairview got the
lead at 2-0 on a basket by 6-1
Abby Grinnell (13 counters, 12
boards, 3 blocks), the Wildcats
(2-0 unleashed their full-court
chaos on the Apaches. In forc-
ing 12 errors in the first period,
the main beneficiaries were
senior Kristin Klausing (15
markers, 3 assists, 3 steals) net-
ting nine in the period, followed
by senior Morgan Fischbach
(11 counters, 4 caroms) adding
eight (2 triples) and classmate
Bridget Culp (12 counters, 7
boards, 3 thefts) seven. A clos-
ing 7-point run in the final
1:20, capped by a 3-point play
by Klausing with 27.4 ticks
to go, put Jefferson’s lead at
31-12.
“We started the same way
as at Antwerp Saturday; the
difference was we made some
early shots. That allowed
us to get into our press and
force them to turn the ball
over,” Jefferson coach Dave
Hoffman said after winning
his 400th overall game. “We
want to make our opponents
play at our pace the whole
time. We got a lot of easy
shots attempts and finished;
that got the momentum on
our side right off the bat.”
Jefferson did the damage
with starters Kennedy Boggs
(17 counters — 3 treys — and
With defensive plays like this from senior Morgan
Fischbach and junior Courtney Lewis, Jefferson’s girls bas-
ketball team forced 36 Antwerp turnovers Tuesday night in
Delphos en route to a 36-point mauling of the Apaches.
6 steals) and junior classmate
Courtney Lewis (4 assists,
3 steals) on the bench with
two fouls each. They still shot
13-of-21 from the floor (34-
of-73 for the game, 7-of-24
for the night, for 46.6%).
“I was concerned without
our starting guards on the
floor; they both picked up their
second fouls in the first five
minutes,” Hoffman continued.
“Just like the other night, we
needed our bench to come
through for us. Those girls
have done a nice job of not
only maintaining our pressure
but picking it up even more. It
gives me confidence to go to
the bench early in games. We
need them to play big so we
can keep up the pressure.”
Jefferson’s defense contin-
ued to cause mayhem on the
thin Archers — head coach
Sarah Friess only played six
girls in the first half — forc-
ing eight more miscues, with
Boggs popping a pair of tri-
ples en route to eight points in
the period. A fielder from the
left corner by senior Chelsea
Fischer with 53 ticks left
Tom Morris photo
pushed the lead to 50-20 before
a 3-point play the old-fash-
ioned way by Grinnell made
the halftime score 50-23.
If Fairview had a rally in
them, it was short-circuited
early in the third period as six
turnovers in their first seven
possessions (11 miscues in the
canto). Though the Wildcats’
offense wasn’t nearly as pro-
ductive as it was the first half,
it was still plenty effective
enough. A layin off a steal
by Boggs with 16 ticks to go
made the lead 66-30.
Hoffman emptied his
bench in the fourth period as
both teams scored 14 markers
each. Jefferson’s largest lead
was 44 before Fairview made
a late rally to get the deficit
down to the final margin.
“It was a good team effort
on both ends,” Hoffman
added. “It wasn’t just one or
two girls; we had a number of
girls score and play well.”
Fairview canned 19-of-44
from the field, 0-of-5 from
deep, for 43.2 percent and
6-of-16 singles for 37.5 per-
cent. Natalie Meyer led their
scorers with 18. They grabbed
34 off the glass (9 offensive)
as Brittany Conkey grabbed
six. Haley Clinker and Sydney
Vance added four thefts each
and Erin Rhodes four assists.
They finished with nine fouls.
Jefferson added 5-of-9 from
the line (55.6%); 31 rebounds
(9 offensive) as senior Emily
Fought added six (to go with 6
assists and 4 steals); 17 errors;
and 21 fouls.
In junior varsity action, the
Wildcats (2-0) destroyed the
Apaches 52-12.
Freshman Rileigh Stockwell
erupted for 16 points to pace
the Red and White. Sloan
Mannino and Bradi Hill scored
three each for the Apaches.

Organ recovery extended to at-home deaths

By SAMANTHA GROSS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Families choosing whether
to donate a loved one’s organs usually have
days to grapple with their decision, all while the
patient lies hooked up to machines in a hospital
bed.
But they would have only about 20 minutes
to make the choice in a new pilot program
meant to recover organs from patients who die
at home.
That’s roughly how long a team of organ
specialists will have after a cardiac-arrest patient
is declared dead to arrive at the home, check a
donor registry, determine medical eligibility,
obtain a family member’s consent and get the
person into a specialized ambulance.
The program launching today — the first
of its kind in the U.S., according to organiz-
ers and other experts — could eventually lead
to thousands more organs donated each year
nationwide. But the six-month trial, a collabora-
tion between Bellevue Hospital and New York
City’s police and fire departments, could be
declared a success without a single organ being
recovered, organizers say.
Instead, what’s being tested is the ability of
the team — composed of two EMTs, an organ
donor family services specialist and a Bellevue
emergency physician — to successfully interact
with grieving and shocked family members in
the limited time available before it is too late to
use a person’s organs. A police detective will
arrive at the scene before the team to make sure
there’s nothing about the death that warrants a
criminal investigation.
The project is “very, very modest but has
the potential to prove a concept that could be
revolutionary,” said Dr. Lewis Goldfrank, direc-
tor of emergency services at Bellevue Hospital
Center and the leader of the pilot, which is being
funded with a $1.5 million grant from the U.S.
Department of Health Resources and Services
Administration.
Of the roughly 50,000 people who died of
all causes last year in downstate New York area
hospitals, only about 600 were judged eligible to
donate their organs. Of those, only 261 became
donors, said Elaine Berg, the president and CEO
of the New York Organ Donation Network.
The small number is due in part to policies
preventing the vast majority of people who die
of cardiac arrest from becoming donors, said
Goldfrank, who estimated that each year 350,000
to 450,000 people in the U.S. suffer cardiac arrest
outside of a hospital, with most dying.
Only kidneys will be recovered in the pilot
program. last year, more than 4,650 people
in the U.S. died while awaiting a kidney —
accounting for 70 percent of deaths on the
transplant list, according to the United Network
for Organ Sharing.
As an ethical measure, EMTs attempting to
revive a person and the doctor who ultimately
makes the decision to declare a person dead
won’t know whether the patient is a registered
organ donor and whether he or she is considered
a candidate for the pilot program.
Team members will be sent to the scene in a
specialized “Organ Preservation Ambulance,”
but will only enter the home after a person
has been declared dead. Once there, they must
determine whether the person is a registered
organ donor and they must check whether the
person has any medical conditions — such as
cancer or AIDS — that would eliminate them
as candidates.
And they must get the permission of family
in a matter of minutes.
That’s a task that the medical community
has long considered nearly impossible, said Dr.
Hasan Yersiz, director of organ procurement at
the University of California Los Angeles.
“Think about it,” he said. “You have some-
body dying and you have to make that decision
very fast. It’s not an easy situation.”
The pilot program team has been told they
have 50 minutes from the time a person’s heart
stops beating to the time his or her body must
be placed in the ambulance and hooked up to
a machine that creates blood circulation. Once
at Bellevue, another machine will increase
body oxygen. Only residents of the island of
Manhattan who are between 18 and 59 will be
eligible for the pilot program.
Similar programs are already in place in
France and Spain, where there are fewer barriers
because people in those countries are considered
organ donors unless they opt out, Goldfrank
said. In the U.S., a person must register as a
donor — in New York state it’s almost always
done through the DMV — and family must also
consent to the procedure after death.
In America, “people are very concerned
about protecting individual rights,” said
Nancy Neveloff Dubler, a bioethicist with the
Montefiore-Einstein Center for Bioethics who
advised those developing the pilot program.
“The technology is there, the question is will
we use it for the good of people who are waiting
for organs.”

Hostages tried to calm gunman
By TODD RICHMOND and SCOTT BAUER
The Associated Press
MARINETTE, Wis. — His first shots blasted the film
projector and punched into a wall. The last he aimed at
himself. In between, the 15-year-old high school sopho-
more held his teacher and about two dozen classmates
hostage for more than six hours.
As the gunman died Tuesday, his motivation still
unclear, students who were in the room described how
they put their captor at ease — even to the point of
laughter — by engaging him in oddly casual conversa-
tions about hunting, fishing, movies and music. All the
hostages escaped unharmed. In the end, Samuel Hengel
himself was the only loss.
Monday’s standoff unfolded the same day students and
teachers at Marinette High School returned from a long
Thanksgiving vacation in this city of 12,000 people along
the border with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, 50 miles
north of Green Bay.
Teacher Valerie Burd’s Western civilization class,
the second-to-last of the day, began about 1:30 p.m.
as students began filing in. Among them was Hengel,
dressed in his favorite Tom-and-Jerry T-shirt and
blue jeans. The teens took their seats in a fan-shaped
arrangement, and doing worksheets about the Greek
demigod Hercules.
Shortly after class began, Hengel told the teacher he
was sick, said 15-year-old Austin Biehl, another student
in the class. Burd allowed Hengel to go to the restroom.
He returned with a backpack, which police later said
Elizabeth Smart defendant suffers apparent seizure in court
By JENNIFER DOBNER
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — A former street preacher on trial for
kidnapping and assaulting Elizabeth Smart suffered an apparent
seizure in the courtroom Tuesday and was rushed to a hospital.
The judge adjourned the case for the day after defendant
Brian David Mitchell was removed on a stretcher and put in an
ambulance.
Paramedics took Mitchell to a hospital, but neither court
officials nor defense attorneys would identify it. His condition
could not immediately be determined.
However, court officials said later in the day the trial would
resume today.
The incident occurred as the jury was about to be called into
the courtroom for another day of testimony.
Mitchell was sitting between two of his defense attorneys
when he stopped his daily hymn singing and slumped over
slightly in his chair. He cried out — a long, loud moan — as his
body twisted to the left.
“Judge, I think he’s having a seizure,” defense attorney
Wendy Lewis said, reaching for her client.
With the assistance of U.S. marshals who were standing
guard in court, defense attorneys moved Mitchell to the floor.
Mitchell remained shackled as paramedics lifted his slight
body onto a stretcher. Wearing an oxygen mask, he appeared
pale and frightened. His eyes, which are usually closed in court,
were wide and round, and both of his fists were clenched.
Mitchell’s former stepdaughter, Rebecca Woodridge, said
the defendant has had seizures in the past and recently has been
housed in a medical unit at the Salt Lake County Jail.
Woodridge said the first seizure she was made aware of was
just after Christmas in 2009. She said Mitchell refuses all medi-
cal treatment because he doesn’t like western medicine.
Jail spokesman Lt. Michael DeNiro said privacy rules kept
him from commenting on medical issues of inmates.
Smart testified earlier in the trial that Mitchell suffered a
seizure during the nine months she was his captive.
“He was in the middle of raping me and he experienced a
seizure,” Smart said in response to a question from the defense
about whether she had seen Mitchell lose consciousness.
Jurors were not told Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Dale
Kimball why the proceedings were suspended and only heard
that unexpected issues had arisen.
“But we have every expectation that we can proceed again
tomorrow,” an apologetic Kimball said.
The trial is it’s fourth week and is expected to last until Dec.
10.
Mitchell’s attorneys don’t dispute that Smart was abducted
from her home at knifepoint and held captive, but they contend
Mitchell is mentally ill and can’t be held responsible for the
crimes.
Mitchell has been disrupting court proceedings on a daily
basis with hymn singing.
Smart was 14 when she was abducted from her home at
knifepoint on June 5, 2002. She was recovered nine months
later disguised in wig and sunglasses and walking a suburban
Salt Lake City street with Mitchell.
Now 23, Smart has testified that she was forced to enter a
polygamous marriage with Mitchell, endured near daily rapes,
was forced to use drugs and alcohol, and was taken to California
against her will.

contained two semiautomatic handguns, ammunition and
a knife. He had more bullets in his pockets.
Burd, a 39-year-old teacher with 10 years of experience
in the district, started showing a film about Hercules.
Hengel asked his fellow students how they were doing,
Biehl said, then he snapped.
He shot a hole in the wall, then fired two more rounds
at the film projector, breaking a piece off of it. The sound
of the shots was deafening, said Biehl, who questioned
why no one else in the school seemed to hear them.
Principal Corry Lambie told reporters he could not say
how loud the shots were.
Then Hengel propped himself up on Burd’s stool at the
front of the class, pulled another gun from his waistband
and laid it on Burd’s podium along with a magazine of
ammunition, Biehl said.
Girls in the class began to cry.
“He didn’t say anything,” Biehl said. “We were just
scared and shocked he was doing this. My legs were
shaking.”
Hengel’s cell phone rang. He snapped it in half. He
then made everyone in the class dump their cell phones
in the middle of the room. When some began to ring, he
ordered kids to remove the batteries.
When the bell rang signaling the start of the last class
of the day, Hengel told Burd to post a note on the door
telling incoming students to go to the library. Burd asked
him if they could do anything for him, Biehl said.
“He just said no,” Biehl said.
Hengel never made any demands or pointed his weap-
ons at anyone, Biehl said. He never told anyone not to
leave, but it did not matter, Biehl said. Everyone was too
petrified to move.
“I didn’t know really what to think. I was just hop-
ing to get out alive,” another student in the class, Zach
Campbell, told CBS’ “Early Show.”
Then one of Hengel’s best friends started talking to
him, and the rest of the class joined in, discussing movies
and actors Hengel liked, deer hunting and fishing, Biehl
said.
“All his favorite things,” Biehl said. “We were just
trying to make him calm. Just trying to make him remem-
ber all the fun stuff.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — European regulators are tackling a puzzle
that could shift the balance of power on the Internet: Is Google
stifling competition by juicing its search results to favor its services
over its rivals?
Hoping to find an answer, regulators announced an investigation
Tuesday that will take the first major look into the heart of Google
Inc., focusing on the very thing that corporations from Coca-Cola
to KFC go to enormous lengths to keep secret.
In Google’s case, the mathematical formulas that determine its
search engine’s prized recommendations.
The rankings of Google’s results can make or break a business
these days, whether it is a blogger or a multibillion dollar company.
Knowing how Google makes its decisions, or persuading regulators
to dictate changes, could be of enormous value to competitors.
Word of the investigation caused Google’s stock to tumble
$26.40, or 4.5 percent, to close at $555.71. It was the largest one-day
drop in the company’s shares since mid-July. The company is also
dealing with national antitrust probes in Germany, Italy and France.
The inquiry’s timing also threatens to complicate Google’s
efforts to expand an empire that will bring in nearly $30 billion
in revenue this year. U.S. officials are reviewing its $700 million
acquisition of a leading travel technology provider, ITA Software.
Perhaps most troubling to Google, the European Commission
conceivably could require it to divulge information about the algo-
rithms that decide the links listed at the top of its search results.
It’s still too early to say whether the commission will ask Google
to disclose the algorithms, said Amelia Torres, the spokeswoman
for Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia.
In a Tuesday statement, Google said it will attempt to answer the
commission’s questions.
If regulators conclude Google acted illegally, the company could
face billions of dollars in fines, similar to what Microsoft Corp. and
Intel Corp. faced in recent antitrust cases brought by the commis-
sion.
The investigation marks the first time a government has delved
so deeply into Google’s core business practices, although there have
been other antitrust inquiries that have touched upon the company’s
dominance of the Internet’s lucrative search market.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the commission’s probe spurs similar
investigations in the U.S., Hylton said. “State attorney generals will
probably look at this and see an opportunity to get their names on
the front pages of newspapers, too,” he said.

BOISE, Idaho — The surveillance video from the overhead cam-
eras shows Hanni Elabed being beaten by a fellow inmate in an Idaho
prison, managing to bang on a prison guard station window, pleading
for help. Behind the glass, correctional officers look on, but no one
intervenes when Elabed is knocked unconscious.
No one steps into the cellblock when the attacker sits down to rest,
and no one stops him when he resumes the beating.
Videos of the attack obtained by The Associated Press show
officers watching the beating for several minutes. The footage is a
key piece of evidence for critics who claim the privately run Idaho
Correctional Center uses inmate-on-inmate violence to force prison-
ers to snitch on their cellmates or risk being moved to extremely
violent units.
On Tuesday, hours after the AP published the video, the top fed-
eral prosecutor in Idaho told the AP that the FBI has been investigat-
ing whether guards violated the civil rights of inmates at the prison,
which is run by the Corrections Corporation of America.
The investigation concerns the prison’s rate of violence and covers
multiple assaults between inmates, including the attack on Elabed,
U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson said.
CCA spokesman Steve Owen said the company is cooperating
with federal agents, as it has with other law enforcement overseeing
the prisons.
Lawsuits from inmates contend the company denies prisoners
medical treatment as a way of covering up the assaults. They have
dubbed the Idaho lockup “gladiator school” because it is so violent.
The AP initially sought a copy of the videos shot on Jan. 18 from
state court, but Idaho 4th District Judge Patrick Owen denied that
request. The AP had already obtained a copy and decided to publish the
videos after a person familiar with the case verified their authenticity.
The videos show at least three guards watching as Elabed was
stomped on a dozen times. At no time during the recorded sequence
did anyone try to pull away James Haver, a short, slight man.
About two minutes after Haver stopped the beating of his own
accord, the metal cellblock door was unlocked. Haver was hand-
cuffed and Elabed was examined for signs of life. He bled inside his
skull and would spend three days in a coma.
CCA, the nation’s largest private prison company, said it was
“highly disappointed and deeply concerned” over AP’s decision to
release the videos.
