Looking for WWII vets for Honor Flight

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Our country is losing World War II veterans at an alarming rate,and Van Wert County Veterans Services Officer Barry Johns is leading an effort to gather local vets to participate in Honor Flight. The flights take groups of veterans to Washington D.C. to visit their monuments in the nations capital. Im trying to get the World War II vets who havent seen their memorial to D.C., to see it, and to get the Korea and Vietnam veterans to sign up so they can get on the list and get a chance to go and not waiting until the last minute and be left wishing they would have went, stated Johns. In the past, veterans from this area have departed from Toledo, Fort Wayne and Dayton, but one option will not be available in 2015. There have been some rule changes with Toledo, Johns reported. Toledo is closing down after this year. Two of their flights are already booked. The April and May flights are already booked. That leaves only the June 18 and the Sept. 24 flights from Toledo. Johns is hoping to get several World War II vets from the area to take part in one of the flights. He wants to hear from locals by April 11. See FLIGHT, page 10

Officers complete advanced training

Information submitted LEXINGTON Twenty-two officers from 10 agencies completed advanced emergency vehicle operations training Wednesday at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington. Law enforcement officers from around the state were able to put their skills to the test at Mid-Ohios premier 2.4-mile, 15-turn road race course. Using law enforcement casino training funds, Ohio Department of Public Safety and the Ohio State Highway Patrol Emergency Vehicle Operations Instructors, along with veteran race car drivers, designed the training to heighten the skill level of officers around the state to operate a patrol vehicle in the most efficient and safest manner possible. The six-hour training incorporated both classroom instruction and practical exercises. The leading cause of on-duty deaths of law enforcement officers nationally is automobile-related traffic crashes, said Director John Born, Ohio Department of Public Safety. Driving skills are perishable. This advanced training provides officers from across Ohio the opportunity to improve their skills. Before these casino law enforcement training funds were available, it was the responsibility of the individual agencies to incur the cost of sending officers to advanced training opportunities like this. Allen County Sheriffs Office participants included William Dickerson and Andre McConnahea.

BOSTON One was a fitness enthusiast who helped the wounded after the Boston Marathon bombings and planned to run the race himself this year. The other was a father of three young children who had firefighting in his blood. The smoke from a windwhipped fire had dissipated Thursday, but a palpable sadness hung over the city as tributes poured in for Michael Kennedy and Edward Walsh, the two firefighters who died after becoming trapped in a basement in a brownstone apartment building. The cause of Wednesdays fire, which also sent more than a dozen other firefighters and several police officers to hospitals, was unknown. Steve MacDonald, a fire department spokesman, said a conclusion could be months away. Outside Engine 33/Ladder 15, the station where Walsh and Kennedy worked, people stopped to pay their respects, some crying, others praying. Flowers were draped on the fire alarm outside the brick building and piles of bouquets accumulated. Firefighters continued their work. Life goes on, Dennis Costin said as alarms went off at the station. Its all we can

do. Kennedy, 33, joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2001 and was on active duty for six years, including a deployment to Iraq, before joining the fire department in 2007. In April, he was among the first responders to the twin bombings at the Boston Marathon finish line, just a few blocks from the station. He was devastated by it. He told us about helping to hold someone together, someone with bad injuries, said Shelley White, the general manager of Personalized Fitness, a health and wellness center where Kennedy also worked as a coach in the CrossFit Together program. Kennedy wrote an essay to earn a spot in the marathon this year and had been training with other firefighters planning to run in the April 21 race, said Gov. Deval Patrick, who was among those who stopped by the station Thursday. Walsh, whose three children are all younger than 10, was a devoted family man who was physically imposing yet reserved, friends said. He wasnt one of these rah-rah guys, but he just had a presence about him, said John Tobin, a Northeastern University administrator who lives a few streets from Walshs family in the citys West Roxbury neighborhood.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio prisons need an additional 400 guards, the union representing corrections officers said Thursday as it warned that serious inmate assaults on officers are at a seven-year high. An upcoming state budget proposal to add 83 officers at three individual prisons is not enough to keep guards from being injured and costing the state in workers comp payouts and overtime costs, the union said. Forty-six officers suffered serious attacks last year, according to the union. Too many correctional officers are getting hurt because of the understaffing, and theyre getting hurt badly, said Christopher Mabe, president of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Union and a guard at Lorain Correctional Institution. The union says that while the overall rate of assaults on staff has declined, the major assault rate has at its highest in seven years a span that has seen nearly 850 guard positions cut. Mabe said the last time the assault rate went down was in 2008, when the state added 57 officers. The states prison budget proposal asks for 293 new employees, including the 83 guards but also social workers, parole officers, psychologists, nurses and mental health administrators, among others. The state shares the unions concerns about guard safety and has zero tolerance for assaults on inmates, said Ricky Seyfang, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman. Achieving that requires a collaborative effort of all prison employees, she said. We also believe providing offenders with additional access to programming, medical and mental health services reduces violence and

Outline of this program: - Why Electrical Safety? - Shock Hazard Analysis - Arc Flash Hazard Analysis - Secondary Injuries from Shock/Arc Flash - Qualified Electrical Person - Lockout/Tagout For more information, contact Rhodes State College, 4240 Campus Drive, Lima OH 45804 at 419-995-8406.

equips the offenders with the skills necessary to successfully return to society, Seyfang said. The state has about 50,400 inmates and about 6,400 guards, a ratio of 7.1 inmates per guard. The 83 new guards would be placed at prisons in Mansfield, Toledo site of a recent rise in inmate violence and Chillicothe. Jeffrey Cavendish, 29, a guard at Noble Correctional Institution in southern Ohio, said he lost eight weeks of work after an inmate punched him in the face several times in the prison cafeteria. Monica Meade, 37, a guard at Trumbull Correctional Institution in northeast Ohio, was on a second-floor unit when an inmate tried to throw her over the balcony. After she resisted, she was punched in the face three times, losing three months of work from her injuries. She debated finding new work she is a single mother of three children but decided she couldnt let one incident end her career. Nevertheless, she is more aware of her surroundings now. The fear itself that something might happen like that again is always there, Meade said. The state has recently created a threetier system that moved thousands of violent inmates to higher-security units. It has also tried to reduce its growing inmate population by focusing on community alternatives and rehabilitation programs designed to prevent former inmates from committing new crimes. The prisons agency is also working on educating judges about risk reduction sentencing that would allow many nonviolent felons to be released from prison after serving at least 80 percent of their sentence.

4 The Herald

When major religious leaders die, its traditional that public figures -- secular and sacred -- release letters expressing sorrow and sending their condolences to the spiritual sheep who have suddenly found themselves without a shepherd. This is precisely what Greek Orthodox Archbishop Demetrios Trakatellis did, acting as chairman of the assembly of Americas Eastern Orthodox bishops, after he heard about the death of Metropolitan Philip Saliba -- the leader of the Antiochian Orthodox Christians in North America for a half century. His letter was kind and gracious, but contained a hint of candor that spoke volumes. For more than 15 years I have had the opportunity and privilege to work closely with Metropolitan Philip, wrote Archbishop Demetrios, noting that the Antiochian leader served as vice-chairman of the assembly of bishops. Metropolitan Philip was a pastor to his people, but he also passionately supported a common witness to our Orthodox faith in the world. It is well known that he spoke his mind openly on a number of important issues and would often challenge inactivity surrounding serious issues, which he felt Orthodoxy could address in unique and important ways. Thats one way to put it. Metropolitan Philip -- who died March 19 -- was more than an advocate for Orthodox

On Religion
life and faith. He was more than a pragmatic strategist who helped his flock grow from 66 parishes to 275, while opening youth camps and a missions and evangelism office. The Lebanese-born archbishop was also a fierce advocate of Orthodox unity in the United States, to whatever degree possible among Greeks, Arabs, Russians, Ukrainians, Romanians, Serbians and others. After living his adult life in this land, he made the controversial decision in the mid-1980s to embrace waves of evangelical converts (I am one of them). These converts affected all levels of his church including, as much as anywhere else, seminaries and, thus, at Orthodox altars. That was the backdrop to the symbolic moment when Archbishop Demetrios surprised Metropolitan Philip by asking him to make some off-the-cuff remarks at the 2004 Clergy-Laity Congress of the Greek Orthodox

Church in New York City. I reminded him that when I speak, I tell it like it is, said Philip, when I interviewed him for an On Religion column soon after that event. Rather than speaking in Byzantine code, Metropolitan Philip bluntly addressed the delegates as Americans, not Greeks. He said he thought it was time to challenge ecclesiastical ties that continued to bind their churches in the new world to those in the old. Then he marched straight into a minefield, bringing greetings from the Antiochian Orthodox delegates who, a few days earlier, had unanimously approved what many Greeks have long desired -- a constitution granting them more control of their church in North America. I told them that if I could sum up this new constitution, I would begin with the words, We the people, he told me. We cannot ignore this truth -- Americans are infested with freedom. We cannot ignore that our churches are in America and we are here to stay. A press aide for the Greek archdiocese noted: It would be accurate to say that he received an enthusiastic response. Part of the problem was that Philip was intentionally calling to mind the 1994 gathering in Ligonier, Pa., when Americas Orthodox bishops boldly declared: We commit ourselves to avoiding the creation of parallel

and competitive Orthodox parishes, missions, and mission programs. We commit ourselves to common efforts and programs to do mission, leaving behind piecemeal, independent, and spontaneous efforts ... moving forward towards a concerted, formal, and united mission program in order to make a real impact on North America through Orthodox mission and evangelism. That effort failed. Two decades later, Metropolitan Philip left instructions that he was to be buried at the Antiochian Village camp near Ligonier, where young people will visit his grave for generations to come. This faith was to remain the best-kept secret in America because of our laziness, we Orthodox, because we have been busy taking care of our little ethnic ghettos, said Philip, during one of the first rites ushering an entire evangelical congregation into his archdiocese. It is time that we let this light shine. America needs the Orthodox faith. I said to the Evangelical Orthodox in these past Sundays, I said, Welcome home.

Auto Racing Glance

Dayton tops Stanford 82-72 in Sweet 16

Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. Jordan Sibert scored 18 points, Kendall Pollard added a season-high 12 and Dayton rolled past Stanford 82-72 on Thursday to make the NCAA tournaments Elite Eight for the first time since 1984. No. 11 Dayton (26-10) continued its underdog run and this one wasnt particularly close. The 6-4 Sibert was spectacular, slashing to the basket and draining 3-pointers, to help the Flyers lead for almost the entire night. Dayton showed its depth early, using 12 players in the first half to slowly wear Stanford down. No. 10 Stanford (23-13) had the superior post play but it wasnt enough. Chasson Randle led the Cardinal with 21 points but shot 5-of-21 from the field. Dwight Powell added 17 and Stefan Nastic who fouled out with more than five minutes left had 15. Dayton plays the winner of UCLAFlorida on Saturday in the South Regional final. Sibert finished 7-of-12 from the field, including 4-of-9 from 3-point range. He had plenty of help. Devin Oliver scored 12 points and Matt Kavanaugh added 10. Dayton made just about everything it threw at the basket early. Scoochie Smiths corner 3-pointer put the Flyers ahead 15-13 early and Stanfords Dwight Powell who averages nearly 14 points per game was quickly banished to the bench with two fouls. Foul trouble was a common early theme, and a much bigger problem for Stanford than Dayton. The Cardinal rely on a 6-man rotation while Dayton regularly plays 11-or-12. When the Flyers would lose a man to foul trouble, they simply replaced him with someone who was just as capable. Things went from bad to worse for Stanford late in the first half. The Cardinal fell behind by double-digits and coach Johnny Dawkins was called for a technical foul. Sibert nailed a 3-pointer from the corner to give Dayton a 42-29 lead, though the Flyers had to settle for a 42-32 halftime advantage. Stanford made a comeback early in the second half as famous Cardinal supporters Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice looked on thanks to strong post play. But the Cardinal simply couldnt stay out of foul trouble. Nastic who was leading Stanford with 13 points at the time picked up his fourth foul with more than 13 minutes remaining and fouled out with more than five minutes left. Stanford managed to pull within 64-58 after Powell made the bucket and free throw after being fouled but the Cardinal couldnt get any closer. The Flyers simply kept sending waves at the Cardinal, scoring from inside and out in the final minutes. Both teams had made impressive runs to make it to this point. Dayton had knocked off in-state rival Ohio State and Syracuse while Stanford has dispatched higher-seeds New Mexico and Kansas. Wisconsin routs Baylor 69-52 to reach West final

SPORTS

www.delphosherald.com

ANAHEIM, Calif. Frank Kaminsky scored 19 points and blocked six shots and Wisconsin romped into the West Regional final with a dominant 69-52 victory over Baylor on Thursday night. Ben Brust hit three 3-pointers and scored 14 points for the second-seeded Badgers (29-7), who jumped to a 14-point lead in the first half and never let up on the overmatched Bears (26-12). The 7-foot Kaminsky and his disciplined teammates shredded the Baylor zone defense that played so well in the first two games. Wisconsin also methodically shut down Baylors talented offense while moving into its second regional final in 13 years under Bo Ryan, who has never reached a Final Four in a 700-win coaching career. Cory Jefferson scored 15 points for the sixth-seeded Bears, who did little with their third Sweet 16 trip in five years. Isaiah Austin and Kenny Chery scored 12 points apiece for Baylor, which made two of its 15 3-point attempts while trailing for the final 39 minutes. The Bears needed a late rally just to match their lowestscoring performance of the season in the final seconds. Wisconsin advanced to face the winner of top-seeded Arizonas meeting with San Diego State in the regional final Saturday at Honda Center. The Badgers won by countering everything the Bears do well. Wisconsin wrecked Baylors zone, negated their 3-point shooting acumen with perimeter defense, kept the tempo at the Badgers preferred speed and even held a 39-33 rebounding edge on Baylor, one of the nations top rebounding teams.

Buckeyes must fill big holes up front on offense

Associated Press COLUMBUS The point, Ohio State assistant coach Ed Warinner told his players, is to not sweat all the outside stuff. All you have to do is your job. If you think about things outside of your job, then you get overwhelmed a little bit, Warinner told the candidates to fill the gaping holes on the offensive line. You dont have to cover for each other, just do your job. And thats all were having them focus on. I think theyll be fine. Warinner, the Buckeyes co-offensive coordinator and line coach, is charged with a mighty task replacing four big players with big personalities up front who were the backbone of the team. Their departure leaves Warinner and Taylor Decker to pass on the units legacy of clearing running lanes, sealing off the passer and sticking together like a long-haired band of brothers in some action flick. They were definitely great players, Decker said of the graduated Jack Mewhort, Andrew Norwell, Corey Linsley and Marcus Hall. We just need somebody to lead these (new) guys. Because its a talented group of guys, who just have to get experience. The coaching staff, in the midst of spring workouts, likes the returning personnel. Decker, a junior, has shifted from right to left tackle. Jacoby Boren, brother of former Buckeyes Zach and Justin Boren, has the inside track at center, replacing Linsley. Antonio Underwood and Pat Elflein, who started in the Big Ten championship game after Hall was suspended for fighting and then flashing his middle fingers to the crowd at Michigan, will likely fill the guard spots. Darryl Baldwin, a former defensive lineman who made the move to the other side in the spring of 2012, is a fifthyear senior who will probably get the nod at right tackle. A lot, of course, could change before the Buckeyes open their season on Aug. 30 against Navy in Baltimore. Mewhort, Norwell, Linsley and Hall were brimming with confidence. Head coach Urban Meyer called them the most important part of an offense that scored more points (637, an average of 45.5 per game) than any team in Ohio States 124 seasons of intercollegiate football. They also were team spokesmen, not afraid to offer public encouragement or private criticism or crack a joke if it brought the Buckeyes closer and ultimately made them better. They were good leaders but we have the guys, Elflein said. Taylors taking over a leadership role and Jacoby and myself. Well keep that same culture as it was a year ago and keep it going. Boren, a 4.0 student, said hes been biding his time until this moment. I think Im really ready, he added. Ive learned a lot from Corey over the last two years. Ive been waiting for two years. It feels good to be here. A year ago during regularseason practices and particularly in the workouts leading up to the Buckeyes 40-35 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl, Warinner blended a lot of players in with his mainstays on the line. As a result, all of this years possibilities at least have an idea of what its like to protect Miller and keep the offense moving forward. Most position coaches who lost 80 percent of their starters are reticent to express high expectations. But spring is a time for optimism. Im pretty confident, Warinner added. Because everything that you want to see at this point were seeing: a great work ethic, tough guys who are very well conditioned, guys who want to learn, guys who come with energy to practice. The only thing they lack is just experience and sharpening their skills. Manziel wows elder Bush, others at pro day COLLEGE STATION, Texas Johnny Manziels NFL pro day had a former president, lots of swag, a Drake soundtrack and even some football, too. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner threw for 75 officials from 30 teams on the Texas A&M campus Thursday. He also had some special guests, as former President George H.W. Bush and wife Barbara and her two dogs rolled into the facility on golf carts about 10 minutes into the workout. The always flashy Manziel was true to his over-the-top Johnny Football persona, trotting into the facility with his receivers as a tune by his buddy Drake blasted through the building. He wore camouflage shorts, a black Nike jersey with his white No. 2 and caused a stir by wearing shoulder pads and a helmet. See FOOTBALL, page 7

Rahal hopes to start season strong at St. Pete

Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Graham Rahal opened his IndyCar career with a win in his series debut. Six seasons later, that victory through the streets of St. Petersburg stands as his lone trip to Victory Lane. But so much has changed for Rahal since that 2008 win, particularly during this past offseason. He returns to St. Pete this weekend with a high-profile new sponsor in Army National Guard, a veteran engineer in Bill Pappas and big hopes for the breakthrough season that seemed set to happen years ago. I think we have a good opportunity this year, Rahal said. I feel with National Guard it helps take our team to a whole new level. Of course, with Bill Pappas, John Dick, all the guys we brought onboard, thats going to help a lot. Dick was brought on as head of research and development shortly after the addition of Pappas, who spent the last two seasons as Justin Wilsons engineer. It was all part of an overhaul at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, where team co-owner Bobby Rahal knew significant upgrades were needed if his son was going to have a fighting chance. Graham Rahal joined the organization last year but had only one podium finish and his 18th-place finish in the final standings was his lowest since 2010. We made the investments in the cars and the equipment and the personnel and it was clear we werent giving Graham the equipment he needed to succeed, Bobby Rahal said. As they head into the Verizon IndyCar Series opener Sunday at St. Pete with new sponsor National Guard, Bobby Rahal believes hes got the tools to build a competitive team. Signing the Guard is obviously huge, historic, because it gives us the ability to compete at the highest level and build our company, Bobby Rahal said. We can give our driver the proper tools to succeed. That puts the pressure on Graham Rahal to perform. He moved to IndyCar in 2008 after one season in the Champ Car Series and has just one win, 12 podium finishes and two poles to show for his seven seasons. Last year, when he was supposed to be buoyed by the move to RLL and the opportunity to work with his father for the first time, Rahal instead hit a career-low with just six laps led. Everybody feels a lot of pressure, I would say as a team, he continued. Compared to last year, it wouldnt be hard to do a better job. Obviously Ive had chances to win. I think I finished second like 10 times or something. In my trophy room in my house, its all second-place trophies. Ive had opportunity to win from time to time. Unfortunately it didnt just come together. This year we need to focus on doing all those things. It begins with qualifying, a struggle for Rahal last year. Although he qualified on the front row at Long Beach, his average starting spot was 17th last season. We have to qualify better. We race very well but when youre qualifying 14th, 15th on some of these street courses, its hard to make up that gap, he said. Hed like to make a splash this weekend at St. Pete, where he debuts his sponsorship. Hes used the prolific partnership to his advantage, working through social media this week to attempt to put together a swap of race cars with Dale Earnhardt Jr. NASCARs most popular driver is also sponsored by the Guard and Rahal is hoping the two can partner this year on marketing opportunities that benefit the Guard and both their racing series. But first comes Sundays opener, where Rahal believes hes got a shot to shine. Of all of our races throughout the year, I wish we had more identical to St. Pete, he added. Great place, great atmosphere. F1 Malaysian GP to honor plane victims SEPANG, Malaysia Formula One teams, drivers and officials are preparing to honor the victims of flight MH370 at this weekends Malaysian Grand Prix. Sundays race will be held at the Sepang circuit, adjacent to Kuala Lumpurs main airport where the illfated flight took off earlier this month. Authorities now say it is almost certain it crashed in the Indian Ocean, killing all 239 people aboard. The Mercedes team, which is sponsored by Malaysian oil company Petronas, will have messages of support on its cars and driver helmets. Driver Lewis Hamilton said the tragedy is just heart-breaking and that my heart and thoughts go out to the families and friends. See RACING, page 7

Big news yet to come from owners

Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. NFL owners made plenty of news at their annual meetings, from shifting some video review oversight to the officiating headquarters to experimenting in the preseason with extra-point kicks from the 20-yard line. They also vowed to clamp down on unsportsmanlike conduct and verbal abuse. A significant item they didnt vote on but discussed at length was expanding the playoffs. Though the move wasnt adopted in Orlando, it soon will be. It could even be approved at the owners May gathering in Atlanta and be implemented for the 2014 season. Commissioner Roger Goodell was hesitant to predict that. He also wasnt exactly shooting down the idea of going from 12 to 14 postseason qualifiers, adding one in each conference, next season. Its not out of the question, Goodell said about two more wild-card games next January. We have more work. I wouldnt rule it out but I wouldnt say thats the direction were heading. The NFL definitely is heading toward bigger playoffs, even if the new setup occurs in 2015. Although the owners have struck out with the players union about stretching the regular season to 18 games new NFL Players Association President Eric Winston has called the issue dead in the water more teams in the postseason isnt likely to be opposed by the union. For one, it means more money in the pockets of the players on the qualifying teams. For another, it really means more money in the pockets of every player. When the league adds more playoff games, it also will add significant revenues in which the players share handily. The networks, which cant get enough of pro football witness CBS diving headfirst into Thursday night games for the first half of the 2014 schedule will blitz each other for the rights to televise the two extra games. That means not only the current network partners such as CBS, NBC, Fox and ESPN, but perhaps Turner Sports or another outlet not currently involved with the NFL. Remember that ESPN, the selfproclaimed sports leader, currently has no postseason rights. Also consider that one or both of the new games could be scheduled for prime time, perhaps even on Monday night, which is ESPNs regular-season territory. Did someone say cha-ching? I think theres a tremendous amount of interest in this, possibly even to the point of support, Goodell said. But there also are things we still want to make sure we do right. Weve been very incremental in trying to do this but we believe competitively it could make even the races toward the end of the season even more exciting, with more teams vying for playoff positions, which is great for our fans. We still want to do some additional work, including talking with the players association. We have a meeting scheduled for April 8 and this is one of the things well probably discuss. And well also have to talk to our broadcast partners. Proponents of the expanded playoffs insist it is the answer to not having 11-5 or 10-6 teams fail to make it; Arizona won 10 games last season and was on the outside. Opponents question whether .500 (or worse) teams will benefit more than anyone. Clubs that would not benefit would be two division winners in both the AFC and in the NFC who dont have the best overall record in the conference. Only the top team in each conference would secure a bye, with the No. 2 finisher facing the seventh-ranked team one week after the regular season ends. The No. 3 team would play No. 6, while No. 4 meets No. 5. Personally, I think it would be a positive for our game, said Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, whose Packers won the NFC North at 8-7-1 in 2013. I think if you look at the history of the later seeds, theyve been successful. If you look at the productivity in the NFL from the best team in the league to the last team in the league from a productivity standpoint, theres only a 16-percent difference. Paritys been evident in our game for a

Football

long time. I think giving another team an opportunity, Im for it, I think its the right thing to do. So, almost certainly, do the owners. Count on it happening sooner rather than later. Bengals give DT Peko 2-year extension CINCINNATI Defensive tackle Domata Peko has agreed to a 2-year contract extension that runs through the 2016 season. Peko, a fourth-round pick in 2006, started all 16 games and a playoff loss to San Diego last season. He was second on the line with 72 tackles and had a career-high three sacks. He also was the lead blocker on short-yardage plays on offense. Peko has started 67 consecutive games, including the playoffs, which is the longest current streak on the Bengals roster. RB Knowshon Moreno signs 1-year deal with Dolphins MIAMI Running back Knowshon Moreno has agreed to terms on a 2-year contract with Miami Dolphins and they hope hell enliven a ground game that ranked 26th in the NFL last season. Moreno, a 5-year veteran, had his best season in 2013 when he rushed for 1,038 yards, caught 60 passes and scored 13 touchdowns playing with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. He ranked fifth in the NFL with 1,586 yards from scrimmage and tied for fourth with 10 rushing touchdowns. Montee Ball, a rookie last year, made Moreno expendable in Denver. Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas were the Dolphins primary ball carriers last season and both remain on the roster. The Dolphins offensive line has been a big reason for their sputtering ground game. The unit also gave up a franchiserecord 58 sacks and was rocked by the teams bullying scandal last year. Center Mike Pouncey is the lone holdover in the line; while the Dolphins added left tackle Branden Albert, theyre still shopping for upgrades at guard and right tackle.

Manziel didnt understand why it was a big deal. You play the game in shoulder pads on Sundays, he said. Why not come out and do it? For me it was a no-brainer. Manziel threw about 65 passes to six receivers, including A&M teammate Mike Evans, who like Manziel is expected to be a first round pick in the May draft. Only two passes werent caught and Evans grabbed a third long pass out of bounds. I felt like it was good, Manziel said. (I) was obviously going for perfection. So had a couple balls hit the ground. One was on me. One was a little bit high. I couldve got it down for him a little bit. Quarterback guru George Whitfield ran the workout. Manziel has worked with Whitfield throughout his career and has spent a big chunk of the last 2 months working with him in California.

NCAA

Whitfield raved about his competitiveness. This wasnt just merely a set of routes that he was just going to go through and throw, Whitfield said. It just feels like life is riding on every pass with him. Eight NFL general managers and eight head coaches were among the group, including Texans general manager Rick Smith and coach Bill OBrien. Houston has the top overall pick in the draft. Smith and OBrien liked what they saw from Manziel, but both cautioned that this is just one step in a long process. Manziel, who started at A&M for two seasons, planned to meet with several teams on Thursday afternoon after the workout. Several coaches were impressed that Manziel called all the NFL officials onto the field at the end of his workout to personally thank them for coming. Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith, who grew up in Big Sandy, Texas, enjoyed seeing Bush at the event.

Kaminsky added another remarkable performance to his junior season with the Badgers, racking up 10 points and four blocked shots while Wisconsin took a 29-16 lead into halftime. Wisconsin held Baylor to a seasonlow in first-half points and the Bears managed just one more point than the lowest-scoring half in coach Scott Drews career at the school. Three lower-bowl sections of the Anaheim Ducks home arena were packed with red-clad Badgers fans, who usually turn out in droves for their schools trips to Southern California, including three straight recent trips to the Rose Bowl. They had little reason to worry while their Badgers quickly sapped all of the drama out of these schools first meet-

Racing

ing but they let loose with boos when Baylor began intentionally fouling the Badgers in the final four minutes despite a 20-point deficit. Wisconsin is in its 16th straight NCAA tournament, including all 13 years under Ryan, who took over the program in 2001. The Badgers havent been to the Final Four since retired coach Dick Bennett got them to Indianapolis in 2000. Baylor wont get the chance to play in the Final Four in Arlington, Texas, about 100 miles north of its Waco campus. Baylors flexible zone defense caused numerous problems for Nebraska and Creighton in the Bears victories last week. With a few days to prepare, Ryan clearly figured out exactly how to attack it and the Bears had no answers. The Badgers got multiple open looks on nearly every possession in the first

half, moving the ball around the perimeter for open 3-point attempts or getting it down low to Kaminsky, who scored eight of Wisconsins first 10 points. Brust hit two 3-pointers in the first half and only a few open misses prevented Wisconsin from blowing it open early. On the other end, the Bears had little of the poise they showed in their first two games. Baylor missed 12 of its first 15 shots and finished 5-for-24 in the first half, making just one 3-pointer and falling behind by 14 late in the half. Baylor finally abandoned the zone early in the second half but Traevon Jackson hit a 3-pointer for Wisconsin on the next possession. The Bears showed their athleticism and skill with several one-man drives to the hoop in the second half but the Badgers calmly stuck to their plan in a blowout win.

Lotus sees light at end of tunnel at Malaysian GP: Having used up its stores of frustration and despair at Formula Ones season-opening race, the Lotus team is drawing on long-term hope at this weekends Malaysian Grand Prix. Lotus preseason testing woes continued at the Australian Grand Prix, where they were beset by an array of technical problems, did precious few laps in practice and predictably neither car finished the race. It was a far cry from the form of 2013 which saw the team regularly fighting at the front. Despite the sharp fall, Lotus is a much more upbeat outfit at Sepang, with bold predictions of points finishes and even podium places in a few races time. If we put two and two together we are not that far off the Red Bull, Lotus driver Romain Grosjean said Thursday. We need to take it step by step and be patient when things dont go right. Everyone wants to believe we can come back and can fight for points . and get on the podium.

Monitoring blood pressure can be easily done at home

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have hypertension. Should I be monitoring my blood pressure at home? DEAR READER: You bet. It's easy and inexpensive, and provides you and your doctor the information you need to protect your health. About one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure, or hypertension. And about half of those with high blood pressure don't have it under control. Hypertension increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. In my opinion, hypertension may be the most important public health problem in the United States, as it affects so many people. Recognizing and treating it brings enormous health benefits. You always have a blood pressure, every minute of the night and day, and it can change a lot from one moment to the next. What matters most to your health is where your blood pressure is on average. Before we had home blood pressure monitoring machines, the way a doctor determined if your blood pressure was controlled was to have you make a trip to his or her office. If you think about it, that's pretty silly. The doctor is supposed to estimate what your average blood pressure is all day and all night based on one visit to the doctor's office every several months. And since many people get nervous when they visit the doctor -- yes, even my patients -- the reading in the office may not be representative. Home blood pressure machines make it easy to get a much better estimate of what your average blood pressure really is. The latest evidence for the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring comes from researchers who studied 450 people with hypertension. About half were given home blood pressure monitors that electronically sent readings to a secure website. The volunteers were asked to send six readings each week. Pharmacists analyzed that information and adjusted medications if needed or offered advice on lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure. The other volunteers

received usual care from their primary care providers. At every step of the way, people in the home monitoring group had more success getting their blood pressure under control. The benefits persisted six months after the program had ended. You can buy a good home blood pressure monitor for under $100. Look for: -- an automatic monitor that doesn't require a stethoscope (it's easier to use); -- a monitor that takes the blood pressure reading using a cuff that fits around the upper arm; -- a read-out large enough for you to see the numbers; -- a seal of approval from a trusted organization. Ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for help in calibrating your monitor and learning how to use it. (On my website, AskDoctorK. com, I've posted a video showing the correct way to use a home blood pressure monitor.) Also ask how often you should check your blood pressure, and share the results of your readings with your doctor. Finally, remember that home monitoring is not a substitute for regular physician checkups. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Commanders fired in nuke missile cheating scandal

WASHINGTON (AP) The Air Force took the extraordinary step Thursday of firing nine midlevel nuclear commanders and announcing it will discipline dozens of junior officers at a nuclear missile base, responding firmly to an exam-cheating scandal that spanned a far longer period than originally reported. A 10th commander, the senior officer at the base, resigned and will retire from the Air Force. Air Force officials called the discipline unprecedented in the history of Americas intercontinental ballistic missile force. The Associated Press last year revealed a series of security and other problems in the ICBM force, including a failed safety and security inspection at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., where the cheating occurred. In an emotion-charged resignation letter titled A Lesson to Remember, Col. Robert Stanley, who commanded the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom, lamented that the reputation of the ICBM mission was now tarnished because of the extraordinarily selfish actions of officers entrusted with the most powerful weapon system ever devised by man. Stanley, seen as a rising star in the Air Force, had been nominated for promotion to brigadier general just days before the cheating scandal came to light in January. Instead he is retiring, convinced, as he wrote in his farewell letter Thursday, that we let the American people down on my watch. Separately, another of the Air Forces nuclear missile units the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. announced that it had fired the officer overseeing its missile squadrons. It said Col. Donald Holloway, the operations group commander, was sacked because of a loss of confidence in his ability to lead.

US autism estimate rises to 1 in 68 children

NEW YORK (AP) The governments estimate of autism has moved up again to 1 in 68 U.S. children, a 30 percent increase in two years. But health officials say the new number may not mean autism is more common. Much of the increase is believed to be from a cultural and medical shift, with doctors diagnosing autism more frequently, especially in children with milder problems. We cant dismiss the numbers. But we cant interpret it to mean more people are getting the disorder, said Marisela Huerta, a psychologist at the New YorkPresbyterian Center for Autism and the Developing Brain in suburban White Plains, N.Y. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the latest estimate Thursday. The Atlanta-based agency said its calculation means autism affects roughly 1.2 million Americans under 21. Two years ago, the CDC put the estimate at 1 in 88 children, or about 1 million. The cause or causes of autism are still not known. Without any blood test or other medical tests for autism, diagnosis is not an exact science. Its identified by making judgments about a childs behavior. Thursdays report is considered the most comprehensive on the frequency of autism. Researchers gathered data in 2010 from areas in 11 states Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Utah and Wisconsin. The report focused on 8-year-olds because most autism is diagnosed by that age. The researchers checked health and school records to see which children met the criteria for autism, even if they hadnt been formally diagnosed. Then, the researchers calculated how common autism was in each place and overall. The CDC started using this method in 2007 when it came up with an estimate of 1 in 150 children. Two years later, it went to 1 in 110. In 2012, it went to 1 in 88. Last year, the CDC released results of a less reliable calculation from a survey of parents which suggested as many as 1 in 50 children have autism. Experts arent surprised by the growing numbers, and some say all it reflects is that doctors, teachers and parents are increasingly likely to say a child with learning and behavior problems is autistic. Some CDC experts say screening and diagnosis are clearly major drivers, but that they cant rule out some actual increase as well. We cannot say what portion is from better diagnosis and improved understanding versus if theres a real change, said Coleen Boyle, the CDC official overseeing research into childrens developmental disabilities. For decades, autism meant kids with severe language, intellectual and social impairments and unusual, repetitious behaviors. But the definition has gradually expanded and now includes milder, related conditions. One sign of that: In the latest study, almost half of autistic kids had average or above average IQs. Thats up from a third a decade ago and can be taken as an indication that the autism label is more commonly given to higher-functioning children, CDC officials acknowledged.

Obama says more than 6M signed up for health care

WASHINGTON (AP) Back on track after a stumbling start, President Barack Obamas heath care overhaul reached a milestone Thursday, with more than 6 million Americans signed up for coverage through new insurance markets. The announcement four days before open enrollment season ends Monday fulfills a revised goal set by the Congressional Budget Office and embraced by the White House. Like much else about Obamas health care law, it comes with a caveat: The administration has yet to announce how many consumers actually closed the deal by paying their first months premium. Some independent estimates are that as many as 10 percent to 20 percent have not paid, which would bring the total enrollment to between 5 million and 6 million people. The White House said the president made the announcement during an international conference call with enrollment counselors and volunteers, while traveling in Italy. Administration officials, focused on signing up even more people over the weekend, played down the occasion. Others said it was unmistakably a promising sign. I think the program is finally starting to hit its stride in terms of reaching the enrollment goals the administration set, said John Rother, CEO of the National Coalition on Health Care, a nonpartisan coalition of businesses, health care industry groups and consumer organizations. It still has a ways to go in terms of achieving public acceptance. To put the 6 million sign-ups in perspective, consider that the HealthCare.gov website didnt work when it was launched in October. Millions of people trying to access online marketplace exchanges that offer subsidized private insurance were met with frozen screens. Nonetheless, the administrations achievement is still short of the original target of covering 7 million people through the exchanges. Several million more people have gained coverage through Medicaid. That safety net program was also expanded under the law, but only about half of states have gone along. Nonetheless, ongoing measurements by Gallup show that the number of Americans without coverage has been slowly dropping since coverage under the law took effect in January. Monday is the deadline to enroll in the new insurance exchanges, but potentially millions of people will still be able to take advantage of extensions announced this week.

$1 trillion student loan debt widens US wealth gap

Associated Press Every month that Gregory Zbylut pays $1,300 toward his law school loans is another month of not qualifying for a decent mortgage. Every payment toward their student loans is $900 Dr. Nida Degesys and her husband arent putting in their retirement savings account. They believe theyll eventually climb from debt and begin using their earnings to build assets rather than fill holes. But, like the roughly 37 million others in the U.S. saddled with $1 trillion in student debt, they may never catch up with wealthy peers who began life after college free from the burden. The disparity, experts say, is contributing to the widening of the gap between rich and everyone else in the country. If you graduate with a B.A. or doctorate and you get the same job at the same place, you make the same amount of money, said William Elliott III, director of the Assets and Education Initiative at the University of Kansas. But that money will actually mean less to you in the sense of accumulating assets in the long term. Graduates who can immediately begin building equity in housing or stocks and bonds get more time to see their investments grow, while indebted graduates spend years paying principal and interest on loans. The standard student loan repayment schedule is 10 years but can be much longer. The median 2009 net worth for a household without outstanding student debt was $117,700, nearly three times the $42,800 worth in a household with outstanding student debt, according to a report co-written by Elliott last November. About 40 percent of households led by someone 35 or younger have student loan debt, a 2012 Pew Research Center analysis of government data found. Allen Aston is one of the lucky ones, having landed a full academic and financial-need scholarship at Ohio State University. The 22-year-old software engineer from Columbus estimates it let him avoid about $100,000 in debt. Without loans to repay, Aston is already contributing 6 percent of his salary to a retirement fund that is matched in part by his employer and doesnt have the same financial concerns his friends do. Im making the same money as them, but they have student loans theyre paying back that I dont. So, it definitely seems noticeable, he said. At the other end of the spectrum is Zbylut, an accountant-turned-attorney in Glendale, Calif. Hes been chipping away at nearly $160,000 in student debt since graduating in 2005 from law school at Loyola University in Chicago. Now 48, the tax attorney estimates he could have $150,000 to $200,000 in a 401(k) had the money hes paid toward loans gone there. Im sitting here in traffic. Ive got a Mercedes behind me and an Audi in front of me and Im thinking, What did they do that I didnt do? Zbylut said by cellphone from his Chevrolet. Hes been turned down twice for the type of mortgage he needs to buy a home big enough for himself, the fiancee he would have married already if not for his debts and her 10-year-old son. I have more education and more degrees than my father, as does she than her parents, and yet our parents are better off than we are. Whats wrong with this picture? he said. Student debt is the only kind of household debt

Facebook launches lab to bring Internet everywhere

NEW YORK (AP) Facebook is giving more details about its effort to connect remote parts of the world to the Internet and it involves drones, lasers and satellites. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday that Facebook is hiring key members of the team from Ascenta, a U.K. company whose founders created early versions of the worlds longestflying solar powered drone. Zuckerberg also unveiled the Facebook Connectivity Lab. The operation will employ the Ascenta hires as well as hires from NASAs Jet Propulsion Lab and Ames Research Center. The labs goal is to bolster Internet.org, the Facebook-led project that aims to connect the more than 70 percent of the worlds 7 billion people who are not yet online. The announcement comes days after Facebook announced a $2 billion deal to buy virtual reality startup Oculus. Zuckerberg has said that access connectivity is not the main obstacle to getting the world online. He noted at the Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain last month that more than 80 percent of the worlds population live in areas with 2G or 3G wireless access. More important, he said, is giving people a reason to connect: basic financial services, access to health care information and educational materials.

that rose through the Great Recession and now totals more than either credit card or auto loan debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Both the number of borrowers and amount borrowed ballooned by 70 percent from 2004 to 2012. Of the nearly 20 million Americans who attend college each year, about 12 million borrow, according to the Almanac of Higher Education. Estimates show that the average four-year graduate accumulates $26,000 to $29,000 in loans, and some leave college with six figures worth of debt. The increases have been driven in part by rising tuition, resulting from reduced state funding and costlier campus facilities and amenities. Compounding the problem has been a trend toward merit-based, rather than need-based, grants as institutions seek to attract the higher-achieving students who will boost their standings. Because theres a strong correlation in this country between things like SAT scores or ACT scores and wealth or income, the (grant) money ends up going disproportionately to students from wealthier families who tend to perform better on those tests, said Donald Heller, dean of the Michigan State University College of Education. Those factors, along with stagnating family incomes and declining savings, have made student loans a much bigger part of funding higher education, Elliott said. Harvard Business Schools Michael Norton wonders whether greater public awareness of the widening wealth gap in the United States would hasten policy change. Norton conducted a 2011 survey that found that people tend to think wealth is more equally distributed than it is.

Flight
(Continued from page 1) I have applications for volunteers, for caregivers and for veterans, he reminded. Honor Flight originally catered exclusively to World War II veterans but has also been taking veterans of other conflicts to see their monuments over the past few years. Although only World War II vets will be on the Toledo flights, Korean and Vietnam Vets will be put on the list in Dayton for future flights. The price for guardians has been dropped from $300 to $200 and approval is now required, but the opportunity to accompany a loved one is a priceless opportunity, according to Johns. Most people are amazed but pretty much everybody says that it is really something to see, he said. I think that its their memorial for their time frame and I really hope everybody gets to see it. Johns noted that he has no idea how many veterans from the area have taken an Honor Flight since those records in this county have not been kept. But he wants to remind vets to take advantage of the opportunity. Remember to get down to the Vets Office is you want to make this trip and get your application in, Johns said.

Ellis said outcome-based medicine decreases fees but we still have to run a business. He said now we must run them effectively. Back when I began practicing medicine, if I put someone in the hospital for a whole week, it was much different, Ellis said. Now, the patient may only be in the hospital three or four days. Ellis said not every human fits within the outcome data and as a doctor, he looks at the individual and treats them accordingly. Health care as we knew it no longer exists, Ellis said. It is a product of the people and country built on freedom, justice and equality, which affects everybody everyday. He said it wasnt until after the Civil War when the U. S. became one union that health care exploded and ever since that time, no one has been able to provide health care to everyone. Now, the healthcare system is making sure all Americans have health care as a right and not as a privilege, Ellis said. For example, John Wayne is a prime example of the privileged; he lived with lung cancer for many years because he could afford the best health care. Ellis said the implementation of Medicare and Medicaid was turmoil. Imagine living without it now, he said. No

matter whether people like it or not, it is the law. As Americans, people have to come together to make it work. Henson said the insurance industry is undergoing a revolution. She said learning healthcare law is easy; keeping up with it is the difficult part. There is still some confusion on the service end and the processing system, particularly the rating structure, is in a state of flux, Henson said. She said the public has been introduced to new plans or narrower networks and it is easy to purchase a wrong plan. Anthem had an extensive network with both hospitals in Lima, Henson said. Now, Anthem is no longer in our networks. Henson said some people will pay the penalty rather than get insurance. The penalty is a healthcare tax and it will be used to prop up the system if young folks do not sign up, Henson detailed. She said she believes the biggest problem will be that the first year penalty will be brushed off. The revenue will be delayed and its not setting the pool off, she explained. Ellis says the key thing is to convince the young invincibles to sign up or something must be done to raise capital.
