We had a sensory experiment based on color and scent, Schroeder explained. We also had a juice test where students tried to identify differing fruit juices. The program has been quite successful and parents are impressed with the value-added attributes of the federally-funded Safe Schools Healthy Students (S.A.F.E.) program. Teacher and parent Mark Odenweller gives the program high praise. I love the program and the kids really enjoy it, he said enthusiastic. It gives them a fun time to socialize and mingle with kids they do not normally see in classes.

DELPHOS The Ohio Department of Aging has released the results of the 2012 Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey. Sarah Jane Living Center in Delphos ranked 13th among the more than 900 facilities participating in the survey with a score of 94.82 of 100. Administrator Mick Murphy said today he is pleased his facility did so well on the survey. The satisfaction of our families is very important at Sarah Jane because we are a dementia unit, he said. Our goal is to keep families in the loop with care progress or the lack thereof. Murphy said the staff is the main thrust behind the facilitys rating. We have an excellent staff with a lot of longevity, he said. They are very caring and conscientious and our activities program is the center of care for our patients. We will continue to provide good care with the care we provide, he added. Putnam Acres Care Center in Ottawa earned a 93.4 percent.
The survey, which was revised this year to increase participation and deliver better data, measures how satisfied family members of Ohioans who live in nursing homes are with the care and services their loved ones receive and it is a valuable tool for individuals to help select a nursing home that best meets their needs. The statewide average satisfaction score for facilities was 85.6 (out of a possible 100); 25 facilities scored 93.76 or better. The satisfaction ratings are available on the Ohio Longterm Care Consumer Guide at www.ltcohio.org. The Consumer Guide includes other information about nursing homes and residential care facilities, including inspection results, a list of available services, staffing levels, results of resident surveys and more. Selecting a nursing home that can provide the right care in the right ways for ourselves or a loved one is one of the most important choices we may have to make in our adult lives.

leave her children unattended if she has a reliable person to care for them. Kids still need someone to watch them until they are mature enough to make responsible decisions. One trend Phillips adamantly opposed: children having sex as early as 12 years old. Kids grow up awfully fast these days, she said. You should try to have a good relationship with your kids, no matter what they do. Pauline Esther Friedman, known as Popo, was born on Independence Day 1918 in Sioux City, Iowa, 17 minutes after her identical twin, Esther Pauline (Eppie). Their father was a well-off owner of a movie theater chain. Their mother took care of the home. Both were immigrants from Russia who had fled their native land in 1905 because of the persecution of Jews. The twins spent their growing-up years together. They dressed alike, both played the violin and both wrote gossip columns for their high school and college newspapers. They attended Morningside College in Sioux City. Two days before their 21st birthday, they had a double wedding. Pauline married Morton Phillips, a businessman, Esther married Jules Lederer, a business executive and later founder of Budget Rent-a-Car. The twins lives diverged as they followed their husbands to different cities.

Consumer Guide are important tools for families who expect, and deserve, excellence, said Bonnie KantorBurman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. The survey and the guide emphasize our commitment to quality care. Consumers must be fully informed about their options if we are to expect that they will, in turn, demand excellence for themselves or their family members. The family satisfaction survey was conducted between May and December 2012 by the Scripps Gerontology Center of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, on behalf of the Ohio Department of Aging and under the direction of the Office of the State Long-term Care Ombudsman. More than 27,000 family members and 948 homes participated. Of the 721 participating homes with statistically significant results, 387 scored above the state average and 229 scored 88 or better, which earns them an additional quality point in a reimburse-
ment formula used by the Office of Medical Assistance (Medicaid) to reward quality in nursing homes. Survey costs are supported by a fee charged to nursing homes by the state. This year, the department revised the survey to better capture the needs and ideas of families. For this reason, Kantor-Burman cautioned against directly comparing the survey results with those from previous years. This survey reflects our increased focus on person-centered care and caring and our new quality-based reimbursement formula. We expected that these changes may have an impact on the statewide average. We are especially pleased with the larger than usual response rate and are gratified by the number of families who are so involved with their loved ones care. In addition to assisting families in choosing quality, person-centered nursing homes, this survey also is a tool to help long-term care administrators and staff improve the care and services they provide, added
Beverley Laubert, the State of Ohio Long-term Care Ombudsman. Staff, residents, families, advocates and state leaders continue to work together to ensure choice, respect and self-determination for all, regardless of where they call home. The survey asked family members their opinions on activities, administration, admission, choices, direct care and nursing, laundry, meals and dining, social services, therapy and general satisfaction. Researchers identified two key questions that sum up the respondents perception of the home: Overall, do you like this facility? and Would you recommend this facility to a family member or friend? The department will survey resident satisfaction again in 2013.

Larry Webb, CEO of homebuilder The New Home Co., in Aliso Viejo, Calif., says he is building homes at a faster pace than a year ago, but he sticks to a sell-first, build-second approach. Overall, Webb is selling and building a minimum of four homes a month, at least double the pace of sales and construction two years ago. Webb believes the steppedup pace of home construction will continue this year. But hes holding on to the sell-first approach. Based on what weve gone through in the last recession and the way we do business, we think we should primarily build after we sell homes, he said. We only build after we sell. The company, which builds homes in California, has 10 open communities and plans to open another 14 this year.
WASHINGTON In an unprecedented move, President Barack Obamas vaunted political organization is being turned into a nonprofit group funded in part by corporate money to mobilize support behind the presidents second-term agenda. Democratic officials familiar with the plan said Thursday the tax-exempt organization will be called Organizing for Action and seek to harness the energy of the presidents re-election campaign for future legislative fights. Officials said the group will be separate from the Democratic National Committee and advocate on key policy issues such as gun control and immigration, train future leaders and devote attention to local issues around the nation. The presidents 2012 campaign manager, Jim Messina, will serve as the groups national chairman, and White House official Jon Carson is leaving the administration to become its executive director. The officials said the organization plans to accept donations from individuals and corporations and disclose their identities but not take money from lobbyists and political action committees, a move in line with donor rules set up for the presidents Inaugural Committee. It will have offices in Washington and Chicago, the officials said. The officials spoke on con-
up legions of backers, collected information about them and linked them to each other through the Internet. It also used sophisticated new tools and mounds of data it had culled to identify sporadic or new voters, and ensure they turned out on Election Day. Huge numbers of minority, young and first-time voters went to the polls to carry Obama to victory. After he won, Obama decided to house the backbone of his campaign his massive email list, which at the time included roughly 12 million to 13 million contacts, its technological functions and its network of neighborhood team leaders at the DNC, which historically has served as the presidents political arm. The grass-roots mobilizing and fundraising operation was dubbed Organizing for America, and it sought to marshal support for Obamas health care overhaul during the first term. But it struggled to have much impact on the divisive debate and essentially became a campaign-inwaiting for Obama ahead of his re-election race. When Obama launched his 2012 campaign, he had a fullscale political operation at the ready. It raised more than $1 billion and used high-tech tools to identify supporters and turn them out in droves. He also used it to mobilize grassroots supporters behind efforts to extend the payroll tax cut, federal student aid benefits and recent efforts to raise taxes on the wealthy.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon is stepping up aid for Mexicos bloody drug war with a new U.S.-based special operations headquarters to teach Mexican security forces how to hunt drug cartels the same way special operations teams hunt al-Qaida, according to documents and interviews with multiple U.S. officials. Such assistance could help newly elected Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto establish a military force to focus on drug criminal networks that have terrorized Mexicos northern states and threatened the U.S. Southwest border. Mexican officials say warring drug gangs have killed at least 70,000 people between 2006 and 2012. Based at the U.S. Northern Command in Colorado, Special Operations Command-North will build on a commando program that has brought Mexican military, intelligence and law enforcement officials to study U.S. counterterrorist operations, to show them how special operations troops built an interagency network to target alQaida mastermind Osama bin Laden and his followers. By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press
Department emailed a statement saying it had been briefed on the changes and had no further comment The creation of the new command marks another expansion of Adm. Bill McRavens special operations empire, as he seeks to migrate special operators from their decade of service in war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan to new missions, even as the rest of the military fights postwar contraction and multibilliondollar budget cuts. The new headquarters will also coordinate special operations troops when needed for domestic roles like rescuing survivors after a natural disaster, or helping the U.S. Coast Guard strike ships carrying suspect cargo just outside U.S. territorial waters, according to multiple current and former U.S. officials briefed on the mission. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the Pentagon has not formally announced the new headquarters. The initial document petitioning Panetta for the command stresses the commands role in militaryto-military cooperation with Mexico. The document was signed in September 2012 by McRaven and Northcom commander Gen. Charles Jacoby.
WASHINGTON In the middle of a bitter fight over a Republican presidents nominee for defense secretary, a former White House occupant pleaded with senators to give the president his choice for the Pentagon job. Unless there is conclusive evidence against the nominee, the Senate should respect the right of a new president to choose the men and women he believes are best qualified to serve in his Cabinet, former President Richard Nixon said in March 1989. Nixons request fell upon deaf ears. The Democraticcontrolled Senate, on a largely party-line vote, defeated the nomination of John Tower amid allegations that he was an excessive drinker, womanizer and held close ties to defense contractors all charges that he denied. It was an ignominious outcome for
on the issues and his proven ability to lead. People should resist the temptation to draw historical comparisons that dont add up, the Pentagon press secretary, George Little, said Friday in London, where he was traveling with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. In both cases, Democrats hold a 55-45 advantage in the Senate good news for Hagel as his nomination gained Democratic momentum this week with the backing of Sens. Chuck Schumer and Barbara Boxer. The two expressed misgivings about whether he was sufficiently pro-Israel and anti-Iran. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., already were in Hagels corner, lauding the decorated Vietnam War veteran who would be the first enlisted man to head the Pentagon. Hagel met with Levin Thursday in advance of his confirmation hearing on Jan. 31.

Lincolnview had four players in double figures, including Claire Dye with a game-high 18 points. Katie Dye added 16, Brant 12 and Kaylee Thatcher 10 for a very balanced scoring night. (During) the first half, I thought we played as well as we have all season at both ends of the floor. We were executing offensively, knocking down shots, Lancer head man Dan Williamson said. Defensively, we did a good job of rebounding and forcing turnovers. During the second half, we talked about keeping that focus and intensity; we just didnt do it that third quarter. They came out and they attacked us and they finally started making shots to get back in the game. Its tough to keep that intensity when you are up by a wide margin; we just need to work on that.

Wildkittens pound Lady Cougs By JIM COX DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com LIMA - This is one loss you learn from and you move on, said Van Wert girls coach Lance Moonshower after Thursday nights 59-25 Western Buckeye League shellacking at the hands of Bath. The Wildkittens took control with four triples in a 14-2 first quarter and rolled to their fifth WBL win against no losses. B a t h improves to 10-4 overall. Van Wert is 1-4 in WBL play and 7-7 overall. Thats the funny part - they (the Wildkittens) havent been shooting the ball well from deep, said Moonshower. The M-O for the season has been to pack it in, dont let them dribble penetrate, stop the bigs inside. That was the game plan. As it turned out, that didnt work out real well because they got hot tonight. The Cougars were on a 5-game winning streak but it quickly became apparent that it wouldnt reach six. The visitors turned the ball over on their first four possessions and didnt even get off a shot until halfway through the first quarter. Van Wert didnt get its first field goal until Alexis Dowdy nailed an 8-foot pull-up jumper
ELIDA A 12-7 lead in the third period was enough for the Elida girls basketball team as they held off Shawnee 43-40
with 3:52 left in the second quarter. Dowdy banked in a 10-foot angle shot a minute later but her two baskets were the only ones the Cougs had in the entire first half, after which Bath led 29-6. We just couldnt get started offensively, said Moonshower. It just snowballed on us. We had six points at the half. Youre not going to beat anybody with six points. Right off the bat, we had a couple of turnovers. We really dropped our heads. Everybody forgot what we were supposed to do, what positions you were supposed to be in. People were running wild. Against a really good team like Bath, you just cant do that. Despite that big lead, the Kittens werent exact burning the nets, hitting only 9-of26 field goal tries in the half. However, six of those buckets were from long range. The Cougars were 2-for-15 after 16 minutes, with many of the misses being blocked or deflected shots. Baths trapping defense had already created 15 turnovers. It was more of the same in the third quarter, after which the hosts led 43-13. The fourth period was Van Werts best. The Cougars got two 3-pointers from designated sharpshooter Emilie Moonshower and another trey from Hannah Hulbert. Bath outshot Van Wert from the field 38 percent (20-of-53) to 18 percent (7-of-38) and the line 80 percent (12-of15) to 73 percent (8-of-11). The Kittens won the boards 25-21 and had a huge margin in turnovers, 9-28. Nine Wildkittens scored, led by Jenna Hollars 14. Emilie Moonshowers six points led Van Wert. Just like the last five wins, those are behind us. You learn from them and you move on, added Moonshower. We had pretty good momentum going. Youd like to have a little better effort but a lot of it was just Bath. They took us out of what we wanted to do offensively. Defensively, some of the things we thought we could give them, they took advantage of.

Continental took a 22-19 lead into the half. Fort Jennings came out firing in the second half and cut the deficit to one at 22-21 30 seconds into the period. After falling behind later, the Musketeers came all the way back and tied the game at 31-31 on the strength of an 8-0 run as German hit a shot from the low post with 3:27 to go in the canto. However, Continental answered right back and then some; Williamson drained two 3-pointers late in the frame, capping off an 11-1 spurt with 26 seconds left in the third for a 43-29 margin. Continental extended the lead in the final quarter, despite the teams exchanging baskets early on; Schroeder and German both picked the pocket of the Pirates point guard and took it half the court for easy layups. Nevertheless, Koppenhoffer drilled 7-of8 from the line in the third and 4-of-4 attempts in the final period to help pace the Pirates. Continental outscored their guests 19-9 in the final eight minutes in cement the win. The Pirates move to 10-3 overall and 3-1 in league play, remaining in the thick of the league race, while Fort Jennings falls to 6-10 in all games and 1-3 in the PCL. In the JV contest, the Musketeers used a 10-0 run in the final minutes to come away with a 38-28 victory. Jennings invades Columbus Grove Monday.
Second quarter pushes Lady Knights on to W By SEAN LaFONTAINE DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY The Crestview Lady Knights hosted the P a u l d i n g Lady Panthers Thursday night in conference action. The Lady Knights used a big second quarter to pull away from the Lady Panthers on their way to a 61-33 victory. The Lady Knights started off the game on a 10-1 run. Kennis Mercer led the way with five points and Lindsey Motycka added three. The Lady Panthers fought back to get within four thanks to a free throw by Abby Pease and a three by Sierra McCullough, making the score 12-8. The Lady Knights kept a 4-point lead after one quarter, 15-11. Paulding started the second quarter on a charge. After two Crestview free throws by Motycka, the Lady Panthers got a three by Jerika Bland and a two by Abby Pease to get within one 17-16 but the Lady Knights answered with a 13-0 spurt in the middle of the quarter to give them a commanding 30-16 lead.

forward, stronger and cleaner. In the interview with Winfrey, Armstrong acknowledged that he used EPO, testosterone, human growth hormone and blood transfusions in order to win the Tour de France seven times. This is not enough, said Bach, who is a leading contender to succeed Jacques Rogge as IOC president in elections in September. I hoped he would be more precise, that you would get an idea of who were the people behind him. Hes even protected the famous Dr. Ferrari. Bach was referring to Italian doctor Michele Ferrari, who worked closely with Armstrong and has been accused of being a mastermind of the cyclists doping program. In some parts of the interview, he was pretty evasive, in some parts contradicting himself, Bach said. Bach said the interview offered no information beyond the USADA report that detailed widespread doping by Armstrong and his teammates and led to the stripping of his Tour titles and a lifetime ban from Olympic sports. We have no new facts not a single new fact going beyond the USADA report, Bach added. Armstrong denied in the interview that cycling body UCI covered up positive tests or helped him avoid detection. Bach said the interview provided no allegations that would put cyclings Olympic status in jeopardy. Senior Canadian IOC member Dick Pound, a former head of WADA, suggested this week that cycling could be kicked out of the Olympics if there was proof of UCI collusion with Armstrong. I still hope for a full inquiry but in general, you have to consider the anti-doping system since then has changed very much for the better, Bach said. The UCI has introduced the blood passport, there is more target testing and outof-competition testing and better methods for detecting EPO. You cannot draw conclusions from 10 years ago.

another Third period keys Rangers over Jays Gonzalezgoing outstep closer to a champ

By JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS The St. Johns girls basketball team scored 20 points versus New Knoxville in the fourth period of its Midwest Athletic Conference contest Thursday night at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium. Unfortunately, they had dug themselves too big a hole to overcome the Lady Rangers 19-7 bulge in the third period en route to a 48-41 victory. The senior-less and extremely young Rangers (3 juniors, 4 sophomores, 4 freshmen) led 17-14 at the half but clicked on both ends of the floor in the third canto. They shot 8-of-12 from the field (19-of-34 for the game, 2-of-7 from deep, for 55.9%) running their half-court set well, getting a number of layins. Junior Page Lehman (10 points, 5 boards) got hot, shaking loose from the Lady Jay (6-7, 1-4 MAC) man-toman defense for eight points in leading the way. As well, Knoxville (10-3, 4-1 MAC) used its solid man defense (with a bit of 2-3 zone mixed in) to hold the Blue and Gold to 3-of-8 shooting (14-of-40 overall, 5-of-20 long range, for 35%). When sophomore Meg Reineke (16 counters) laid in a bucket with 40 ticks left, the visitors led 36-21. We lost the intensity we had defensively from the first half. New Knoxville stepped their game up and we didnt, Jays mentor Dan J. Grothouse explained. I thought we did a good job on Lehman and (Haley) Horstman overall holding them to 10 points each was a good effort but we let Lehman get away from us. Offensively, we struggled with our confidence with the ball. We werent getting any offensive rebounds and they were just more aggressive. New Knoxville seemed on the verge of coasting to the double-digit win, leading
Senior Jessica Recker goes over the top of New Knoxvilles Paige Lehman to score two of her game-high 23 Thursday night at Arnzen Gymnasium. Despite this, the visiting Rangers grabbed a 7-point MAC win. (Delphos Herald/Tom Morris) 41-26 on a Reineke basket with 4:50 left in the contest. Back came the Jays. Sophomore Rebekah Fischer (8 markers) hit a 3-ball at 4:24 and that seemed to spark the hosts. With senior Jessica Recker (game-high 23 points, including 3 bombs, 4 assists) going off for 11 points in the period, they got within six points three times, the last on her two tosses with 20.5 ticks remaining. However, it was too little, too late. We played six minutes of excellent basketball in the third period. Thats what I told the girls; we played excellent ball in that stretch and got the win, New Knoxville coach Tim Hegemier said. We really ran our offense well and got some great looks that we put in. We did a nice job defensively as well. Weve got a lot of young girls out there and weve had some injuries; we got the win and thats what matters. Both teams struggled in the early going against the others tough defense. They combined for 6-of-18 shooting 3-of-9 each but it was a pair of 3-balls by the Jays, as well as two freebies, that was the difference. A
Fischer trey with 2:38 on the clock accounted for a 10-6 edge by the home team. New Knoxville had the answer in the second quarter: the junior Horstman (10 points, 5 assists, 5 boards, 3 steals); she scored six counters in the canto. When Reineke got a second-chance bucket at 3:36, it gave the Lady Rangers the lead for good at 13-12. A Horstman transition drive at 1:04 gave them a 17-12 margin but Reckers mid-lane basket from the right side with 20 ticks on the clock made it 17-14, New Knoxville, at the half. In the fourth period, we just seemed to have more urgency. Rebekah hit a 3 and all of a sudden, we got rolling, Grothouse added. We had just dug ourselves too deep of a hole. We have struggled with our confidence shooting and handling the ball lately, so it was good to see that happen. In toto, New Knoxville finished 8-of-13 at the line (61.5%); nabbed 25 caroms (6 offensive); and amassed 11 errors and 12 fouls. They host Jackson Center Saturday. St. Johns totaled 8-of-11 freebies (72.7%); 23 rebounds (10 offensive) as senior Katie Vorst had six and freshman Sydney Fischbach added five; and compiled 11 miscues and 17 fouls. They visit Crestview 6 p.m. Saturday. There was no junior varsity clash as New Knoxville didnt have enough players.
VARSITY
By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Tony Gonzalez remembers talking to Michael Strahan after the former New York Giants defensive lineman won a Super Bowl title in his final game. Talk about going out in style. Thats the way you want to do it, Gonzalez said Thursday. Thats every athletes dream. I dont care what sport it is. Youd love to win a championship and leave. Thats where Im at now. It took him 16 years to finally win a playoff game. Now, hes two victories away from a Super Bowl championship with the Atlanta Falcons, two wins away from going out the same way Strahan did. Theres no doubt I could play this game another three years if I wanted to and at a high level, too, the 36-yearold Gonzalez insisted. But there comes a point in your career where youve gotten everything you ever wanted from this game. Everything except a ring. Really, the only reason I played the last couple of years was for an opportunity like this, Gonzalez explained. Now that its presented itself, I feel closure coming on. But theres more closure to take care of. Its about winning this week and winning the Super Bowl. The top-seeded Falcons (14-3) will host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the NFC championship game, looking to reach the Super Bowl for just the second time in franchise history. Even though Gonzalez has not fully committed to retirement, theres a definite sense in the Atlanta locker room of wanting to give him the ultimate going-away gift. Hes given so much to the game, catching more passes than anyone in NFL history except Jerry Rice. Hes given so much to the Falcons over the last four years, working with younger players and setting an example that all were encouraged to follow. We know what hes capable of doing on the football field, Falcons coach Mike Smith said. But Tony is a mentor to so many players in that locker room. Hes not a guy of many words but when he comes to work, he comes to work. We always tell the new guys in the locker room, See that guy over there? Mimic what hes doing. Gonzalezs influence has surely rubbed off on players such as receiver Julio Jones, already a Pro Bowler in just his second season. Even Roddy White, who already was one of the NFLs better receivers when Gonzalez was acquired by the Falcons after a dozen seasons in Kansas City, has picked up a thing or two since No. 88 arrived. Id like to think Ive helped them with their routine, Gonzalez said. Im a big believer in routine. Yeah, you can talk about being great. When young guys come in, I ask them their goals. They all want to be Pro Bowl players. Well, how are you going to get there? You cant just say youre going to work hard;

(Continued from Page 6) lead into the locker room. The Lady Panthers made one more run to get back in the game. With the score 38-18, Paulding went on a 9-0 span to get themselves back in the game. Pease started the run with two free throws. Later, Bland hit a basket to make the score 38-22, then McCullough hit a three followed by a two to get the Lady Panthers within 11, 38-27. Crestview proved to be too much, though, and closed the quarter out on a 9-0 run of their own. Mariah Henry led the charge with four points.
Roundup
ing the season or a couple of games in the season for these two ball clubs. For us we just have to be ready to go for 60 minutes; sometimes even more than that, as we saw last week. They went against a football team in Denver and they went out there and played more than 60 minutes. They came out on top, so that says a lot about how tough this football team is. Unlike some other potential visitors to New England, any weather issues wont bother the Ravens, either. Hey, after subzero wind-chill numbers at Denver last weekend, Baltimore will consider just about anything balmy. The oddsmakers believe the home-field advantage is substantial for the Patriots, who are 9-point favorites. Theyll gladly accept those points before kickoff. Its good that we get to stay home but once you get out there on the field, you have two teams going at it, all playing for one common goal, Patriots safety Devin McCourty said. I dont care where you play; its not going to change how one team comes out. Just because youre at home doesnt mean youre going to be more prepared than the team thats on the road. I think the team were playing now shows that. Theyve won a lot of road playoff games over the last couple years, so I dont think the home-field advantage will really be that much of a difference as far as since were at home, were going to win. But as a player, you always love playing in front of your fans.
thats so ambiguous. Hell encourage them to settle on some well-defined goals say, catching 50 balls before practice, 50 during the workout and 50 afterward. Whatever works, make it a habit. And keep looking for ways to make the program even better. The 49ers (12-4-1) will have their hands full trying to defend everyone in what Gonzalez calls the PYP offense Pick Your Poison. But the ageless tight end could be even more of a factor Sunday, facing a defense that doesnt stray far from its base packages and relies heavily on its linebackers in coverage. As good as they are, Pro Bowlers Patrick Willis and Aldon Smith could have their hands full trying to cover Gonzalez, even if he has lost a step or two. Hes still playing at a high level for them. Hes still making big plays for them, Willis said. He may not be as fast as he used to be but hes really crafty and knows how to get open. For Gonzalez, the idea of working harder than anyone else was instilled at an early age but the benefits of setting a routine became apparent in his second season with the Chiefs. Facing high expectations after moving into the starting lineup, he dropped 17 passes. He knew something had to change, so he started reading books on other great athletes, from Rice to Michael Jordan. His methods have sure paid off. Gonzalez has 1,242 receptions and 103 touchdown catches, sixth on the career list. This season, he led the Falcons with 93 receptions for 930 yards and eight touchdowns. Gonzalez was really at his best last week in the divisional playoff against Seattle. He made a brilliant touchdown catch in the back of the end zone, leaping up to snatch the ball away from a defender like the basketball player he was in college, boxing out for a rebound. He made a couple of other impressive grabs when it looked like he was completely covered. Finally, after the Falcons squandered a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter and seemed on the verge of handing Gonzalez another playoff loss, he hauled in a 19-yard pass, picking up a few extra yards with a nifty move after the catch, to set up Matt Bryants winning 49-yard field goal with just 8 seconds remaining. When it was done, Gonzalez broke down in tears the first time he can ever remember crying after a win. Of course, he had never won in the playoffs, losing his first five tries. After waiting 16 years to get that first postseason victory, the idea of winning two more in the next three weeks doesnt seem so farfetched. If that happens, Gonzalez sounds like any uncertainty over his planned retirement will surely be wiped away. Thats the goal: win a championship and get out of here, he added. Were right at the door. The door is opening for us. Weve just got to push it open a little bit more.

The Knights maintained their lead in the fourth quarter. The Lady Knights were led in scoring by Bauer, who had 17 points. Motycka was the only other Lady Knight in double figures with 13 points. The win improves the Lady Knights to 12-1 overall and keeps them perfect in the Northwest Conference with a 5-0 record. I thought we played in streaks. Offensively I thought we played pretty well for four quarters but defensively, I thought we had some spells where we didnt play very well, said Crestview coach Greg
Rickard. I thought the last quarter and a half we played well defensively but we had stretches where we allowed them to score in bunches and get back in the game. We have to make sure we clean that up. Paulding was led in scoring by MuCullough and Pease, who both had eight points. The Lady Panthers fall to 4-9 on the season and 0-5 in the NWC. It has been the same problem for us all season. We have been outrebounded in probably 90 percent of our games, said Panther coach Lyndsi Schultz. Coming in, we knew how strong
Crestview was inside but we just dont have much size. There were a couple of times we were in perfect position but we just couldnt stop them. They are an excellent team but we just didnt respond like we needed to. Crestview entertains St. Johns 6 p.m. Saturday.

application may be necessary. Your daughter should stop being contagious within 24 hours, and her symptoms should improve noticeably within two days. In the meantime, to help control her itching, apply calamine lotion. If itching keeps her awake, ask her pediatrician about giving her diphenhydramine (Benadryl) by mouth. This medicine can help her sleep and reduce the itching, but some pediatrician colleagues of mine dont like to prescribe this medicine to kids younger than 4 years old. You and other family members must be treated for scabies as well, even if you dont have any symptoms. Thats because some of the mothers may already have jumped to your skin and are in the process of laying the eggs that will make you itch in the future. In addition, you should wash all of your daughters clothing, bedding and towels in hot water and dry these items in a hot dryer. This should kill all scabies mites and eggs. Clothing that cannot be washed should be sealed and stored for one week. To help prevent your daughter from catching scabies again: -- Do not allow your daughter to share clothing or towels at her day care center. -- Provide a pillow and blanket from home that your daughter can use at the day care center.

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2013 Favors you do for others in the year ahead are likely to be paid back quite promptly and in great measure. If you try your best to be one of the good guys, youll end up being a huge winner in life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your associates might be inclined to hold back some good ideas if they sense you arent likely to appreciate them. Dont be a know-it-all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A matter youve been anxious to finalize can be concluded, but not necessarily to the satisfaction of everyone involved. Some might feel there is still a leak in the bucket. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- In order for you to negotiate an important matter, some kind of compromise might have to be reached. If you take action, it wont happen. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Two strong factors could affect your chances of success: One is a strong motivation for victory, and the other is a sense of adventure. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- At times, it seems like nothing ever changes. Those who are usually supportive of you will remain so, while those who tend to oppose you will be antagonistic once again. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Your chances for success look pretty good, provided that what needs to be done is finished quickly and with a nominal amount of effort. If more is required, you might not hold up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you handle business matters well, chance will play a very small role in how your affairs play out. Be methodical and avoid taking foolish risks. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Provided you operate along traditional lines, the probabilities of generating favorable returns are pretty good. Should you be inclined to test out something new, everything becomes iffy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In order to maintain good relationships with others today, you must be willing to give them the same freedom to operate independently as you want for yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Unexpected changes will work out to your ultimate advantage, provided you are flexible enough to accept them. Resist any urge to adjust events and control things. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Because youll automatically instill harmony and a spirit of cooperation, youll be a welcome addition to any group. Good things happen when everyone gets along. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Youll have a great opportunity to accomplish much more than you originally anticipated, mostly because your industriousness will be challenged, and will rise to the occasion.

List Americas prominent evangelicals and the Rev. Rick Warren remains near the top, right up there with the Rev. Brian McLaren, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Jim Wallis, the Rev. Tim Keller and others. Evangelicals, of course, have been known to argue about who belongs on that list. In recent years, it has become increasingly obvious that the experts are struggling to decide who is and who is not an evangelical in the first place. I know what the word evangelical is supposed to mean, said Warren, 58, leader of the 20,000-member Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., with its many branches and ministries. I mean, I know what the word evangelical used to mean.

centuries of doctrine. Ive decided that when people dont have faith, politics is their religion, he said. Politics is the only thing that is really real to many people in our world today. ... So if politics isnt at the center of your life, then many people just cant understand what youre saying. In the end, said Warren, it may be time for various brands of conservative Protestants -- Baptists, Charismatics, Wesleyans, Pentecostals, Calvinists and others -- to stop trying to crowd under a common evangelical umbrella. They need to start talking more about the specific traditions that shape their lives. Maybe evangelical will be like the word liberal, he said. When that word turned into a negative, everybody on the left just turned into progressives and they moved right on. ... Maybe its time to give the word evangelical a rest.
