A PIGEON flies in front of Pope Benedict XVI as he waves to thefaithful during the Angelus noon prayer he celebrated from thewindow of his studio overlooking St. Peter's square, at the Vat-ican, Sunday. Pope Benedict XVI blessed the faithful from hiswindow overlooking St. Peter’s Square for the first time sinceannouncing his resignation, cheered by an emotional crowd oftens of thousands of well-wishers from around the world.

BY JULIE CARR SMYTHThe Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Bytiming the address to followhis majorbudget, tax re-form andschool fundingproposals, OhioGov. John Ka-sich’s annualState of theState speechTuesday inLima will feelmore like astump speech for 2014 thanthe typical litany of big policyinitiatives.The Republican governor

will use the speech to promotehis latest ideas for the state,rather than announce them.He’s said as much.“For those that are think-

ing that they want to come toLima on the 19th for a wholebunch of new things in theState of the State, don’t come,”he said in unveiling his $63.2billion, two-year budget thismonth. “Because I think we’vegot it all out on the field rightnow.”For the second consecutive

year, Kasich is taking the ad-dress outside Columbus, andoutside the Statehouse, wherepro-labor protesters packedthe halls and sent up disrup-tive shouts during his first ad-dress in 2011.Last year, Kasich made his-

tory when he first gave thespeech elsewhere, picking theDemocratic and union strong-hold of Steubenville to high-

light positives he said weretaking place in economicallyhard-hit eastern Ohio, partic-ularly surrounding K-12 edu-cation and oil and gasexploration.With Lima, in northwest

Ohio, Kasich has found amanufacturing hub with sig-nificantly improved employ-ment, which also sits in theheart of reliably Republicanfarm country. The new leaderof the Ohio Senate that’ssometimes block Kasich’splans, President Keith Faberof Celina, lives nearby.Located about 80 miles

south of Toledo, Lima wasbuilt around factories thatmade locomotives and schoolbuses. Heavy industry stilldrives the city, home to an oilrefinery, a Ford Motor Co. en-gine plant and the nation’sonly tank manufacturingplant.Like many of Ohio’s indus-

trial cities, poverty is a prob-lem in some neighborhoods,but the city’s unemploymenthas been nearly cut in halffrom two years ago and nowstands at 7 percent.President Barack Obama’s

campaign rally just days be-fore the election last Novem-ber marked the first time asitting Democratic presidentvisited Lima since HarryTruman stopped there in1948. In the end, Obama’srival, Republican Mitt Rom-ney, handily won AllenCounty last year, scoring 61percent of the vote toObama’s 37 percent.

Pope blesses crowdin St. Peter’s SquareVATICAN CITY (AP) —

His arms outstretched in asymbolic embrace, Pope Bene-dict XVI blessed tens of thou-sands of cheering people onSunday in one of his last ap-pearances as pontiff from hiswindow overlooking St.Peter’s Square.Last week, 85-year-old

Benedict shocked the world byannouncing his resignation.He will step down on Feb. 28,planning to retreat to a life ofprayer in a monastery behindthe Vatican’s ancient walls.

The noontime appointmentin the vast cobblestone squarealso served as a kind of trialrun for how Rome will handlethe logistics, including crowdsecurity, as the city braces forfaithful to flock to Rome forthe election and installation ofthe cardinal who will succeedBenedict as leader of theworld’s 1.2 billion Catholics.Rome Mayor Gianni Ale-

manno said upward of100,000 people turned outSunday and that everything

Debris threatens tourismMANTOLOKING, N.J. (AP) — On the surface,

things look calm and placid. Just beneath the water-line, however, it’s a different story.Cars and sunken boats. Patio furniture. Pieces of

docks. Entire houses. A grandfather clock, depositedin a marsh a mile from solid land. Hot tubs. Tons ofsand.All displaced by Superstorm Sandy.“We did a cleanup three weeks ago.Then when we

went back the other day, you could still see junk com-ing up in thewash,” said Paul Harris, president of theNew Jersey Beach Buggy Association, which helpstake care of beaches onwhich the group goes surf fish-ing. “They go and clean it again, and two days later,you have the same thing again. There’s nothing youcan do about it; you can’t vacuum the ocean.”Coastal areas of New Jersey, New York and Con-

necticut are racing to remove untold tons of debrisfrom waters hardest hit by the Oct. 29 storm beforethe summer swimming and boating seasons begin—two of the main reasons people flock there each year.

Sometimes simply called“JFK,” John FitzgeraldKennedy became one of thecountry’s youngest and mostpopular presidents. He guid-ed the nation through theearly 1960s, handling con-flicts with other nations andworking to improve the livesof all Americans.The second of nine chil-

dren, Kennedy was born onMay 29, 1917 in Brookline,Mass. He grew up in awealthy, Catholic, IrishAmerican family with a strongpolitical background. Hisgrandfather, John Fitzgerald,was the mayor of Boston. Hisfather, Joseph Kennedy, wasa successful businessmanwho later served on severalgovernment commissionsand as an ambassador.Although he was often

sick as a child, Kennedyloved sports such as swim-ming, sailing and tennis. Heoften competed against hisbrothers in touch footballgames. As a teenager, hewent to a boarding school inConnecticut where he playedfootball and basketball.Kennedy also was a brightstudent, excelling at Englishand history. In 1936, he fin-ished boarding school andwent to college at HarvardUniversity.While at Harvard,

Kennedy hurt his back play-ing football. He had troublewith his back for the rest ofhis life. This did not preventhim, however, from joiningthe U.S. Navy in 1940.Kennedy sailed in the SouthPacific during World War II.He was in charge of a patrolboat called the PT-109. In1943, Kennedy’s boat wasattacked by a Japanese ship.

He was hurt in the attack, butwas able to rescue some ofhis crew. For this heroic act,Kennedy received severalmedals.After the war, Kennedy

decided to become a politi-cian. He was successful inhis first attempt, becomingelected to a seat in theHouse of Representatives in1946. After serving threeterms, Kennedy was electedto the Senate in 1952. Hemarried Jacqueline LeeBouvier the following year.In 1954, Kennedy had

back surgery. During hisrecovery, he wrote a bookabout famous Senatorscalled Profiles in Courage.The book later received thePulitzer Prize for biography in1957. He had other goodnews that year – his wifegave birth to their first child,Caroline, in November.Kennedy decided to run

for president. He became theDemocratic candidate for the1960 presidential electionand ran against RepublicanRichard Nixon, the country’sVice President. Kennedy nar-rowly beat Nixon in the elec-

tion, becoming the firstCatholic president of theUnited States. A few weeksafter the election, his sonJohn F. Kennedy Jr. wasborn.During his presidency,

Kennedy worked hard to endracial segregation – the prac-tice of keeping white peopleand black people separated.Kennedy also proposed newways to improve civil rights.Wanting to help others in theworld, he created the PeaceCorps. The corps sendsAmerican volunteers to differ-ent countries to provideassistance to those in need.Kennedy also sought to learnmore about the universethrough his support of spaceexploration.Some of the greatest

challenges Kennedy faced asa president involved the fightagainst communism.Communism is a form of gov-ernment that believes thatthe whole nation should ownall of its land and businesses.Kennedy oversaw the failedinvasion of communist Cuba(called the “Bay of PigsInvasion”) in 1961. The next

year, he found himself in astandoff with the leader ofthe Soviet Union, NikitaKhrushchev. The SovietUnion, which was the world’slargest communist nation,had set up missile bases inCuba. Kennedy discoveredtheir plan and took action tostop them. In October 1962,it looked like the UnitedStates and the Soviet Unionmight go to war over thesebases. Kennedy, however,was able to resolve what isnow called the Cuban MissileCrisis peacefully.Sadly, Kennedy’s time as

president was short. On Nov.22, 1963, he was shot duringa trip to Dallas, Texas, whileriding in a parade with hiswife. Kennedy was taken to anearby hospital, but the doc-tors were unable to save him.The entire nation mournedthe loss of their much lovedpresident. Thousands of peo-ple traveled to Washington,D.C., for his funeral and for achance to say good-bye to aheroic leader.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP)—Republican opponents of for-mer Sen.ChuckHagel’s stalledbid to become defense secretarysaid Sunday that they’ll proba-bly allow his Senate confirma-tion vote to proceed unlessmaterial more damaging to thenominee — and, by extension,the Obama administration —surfaces in the coming week.Critics said the decorated

Vietnam combat veteran is a“radical”unqualified to lead theU.S. military. A top WhiteHouse official expressed “graveconcern” over the delayed con-firmation vote, adding thatthere was nothing to worryabout in any disclosures thatmay yet come.“No, I don’t believe he’s qual-

ified,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said of his fellowRepublican and former Senatecolleague. “But I don’t believe

that we should hold up hisnomination any further, be-cause I think it’s (been) a rea-sonable amount of time to havequestions answered.”McCain and other Republi-

cans have angered PresidentBarackObama by delaying himfrom rounding out his second-term national security team,which includesHagel and JohnBrennan, the White Housecounterterrorism adviser whois awaiting confirmation to be-come CIA director. FormerMassachusetts Sen. JohnKerry assumed his post as sec-retary of state at the beginningof February.Critics contend that Hagel,

who snubbed McCain by stay-ing neutral in the 2008 presi-dential race between McCainand Obama, isn’t supportiveenough of U.S. ally Israel and isunreasonably sympathetic to

Iran,which has defied interna-tional pressure to halt its pur-suit of material that could beused tomake nuclear weapons.Hagel’s nomination also be-

came ensnared in Republicanlawmakers’ questioning of howthe White House handled theSept. 11 attack against a U.S.diplomatic mission in Beng-hazi, Libya, in which the U.S.ambassador and three otherAmericans were killed. Hagelwas not involved in the admin-istration’s response.GOP senators also have

challenged Hagel’s past state-ments and votes on nuclearweapons, and his criticism ofPresident GeorgeW.Bush’s ad-ministration.Republicans last week de-

layed a confirmation vote, buthave indicated that one will beallowed when senators returnfrom a break on Feb. 25.

Fike presents Hyla Merin with a plaque that contains medals, fromleft, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Army Good Conduct Medal, American CampaignMedal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medalalong with a Silver Star that he pinned to her during a ceremony at her home Sunday in Thou-sand Oaks, Calif. The medals were presented posthumously to her father after they were re-cently discovered in an apartment where Merin’s mother and aunts had once lived.

went smoothly.But while therewas still space in St. Peter’sSquare formore,many couldn’tget in — or easily out — be-cause entrances from themainboulevard were just too nar-row.The huge crowd— including

parents with babies in car-riages and strollers, elderlypeople using canes, and thedisabled in wheelchairs —tried to squeeze through twospaces police left open in themetal barricades edging thesquare. Some people panickedor called out to police to helpthem get in or out of thesquare.Pilgrims and tourists had

an easier time if they enteredthrough spaces in the elegantcolonnade that architect Gian-lorenzo Bernini designed tocradle the sides of the St.Peter’s Square.Benedict seemed touched by

the outpouring of affectionafter his decision to go down inhistory as the first pontiff insome 600 years to resign. Thepontiff told cardinals last weekthat he no longer has the men-tal and physical stamina to vig-orously shepherd the church.Looking into hazy sunshine

Sunday, he smiled shyly at thesight of the crowd below, filledwith pilgrims waving theircountries’ flags and holding upbanners with words of support.One group of Italians raised abanner which read: “We loveyou.”Speaking in Italian, the

pope told the cheering crowd:“Thanks for turnout in suchnumbers! This, too, is a sign ofthe affection and the spiritualcloseness that you are givingme in these days.”He stretchedout his arms as if to embracethe faithful from across thevast expanse of the square.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Hyla Merin grew up without afather and for a long time neverknew why.Her mother never spoke

about the Army officer whodied before Hyla was born.Thescraps of information she gath-ered from other relatives werehazy: 2nd Lt. Hyman Markelwas a rabbi’s son, brilliant atmathematics, the brave winnerof a Purple Heart who diedsometime in 1945.Aside from wedding photos

of Markel in uniform, Merinnever glimpsed him.But on Sunday, decades after

he won it, Merin received herfather’s Purple Heart, alongwith a Silver Star she neverknew he’d won and a half-dozen other medals.Merin wiped away tears as

the Silver Star was pinned toher lapel during a short cere-mony attended by friends andfamily at her home inWestlakeVillage, a community strad-

dling the Ventura and Los An-geles county lines. The othermedals were presented on aplaque.“It just confirms what a

great man he was,” Merin saidtearfully. “He gave up his lifefor our country and our free-dom. I’ll put it up in my houseas a memorial to him and tothose who served.”Merin’s mother, Celia, mar-

ried Markel in 1941 when healready was in the military.Theymet at a Jewish temple inBuffalo, N.Y.About four months ago, the

manager of a West Hollywoodapartment building whereMerin’s mother lived in the1960s found a box containingpapers and the Purple Heartwhile cleaning out some lockersin the laundry room, Merinsaid.Themanager contacted Pur-

ple Hearts Reunited, a non-profit organization that returnslost or stolen medals to vets or

their families.A search led to Merin.She became “kind of emo-

tional, because I don’t have alot of pictures, I don’t have a lotof stories, and I’ve always beena crier,” she said. “My motherwas always the stoic one, verystrong.”Markel was killed in the last

days ofWorldWar II on May 3,1945, in Italy’s Po Valley whilefighting German troops as anofficer with the 88thDivision ofthe 351st Infantry Regiment,said Zachariah Fike, the Ver-mont Army National Guardcaptain who founded PurpleHearts Reunited.“The accounts suggest that

he was out on patrol and he gotambushed and he chargedahead and basically took out amachine gun position to savethe rest of his guys,” said Fike,whose organization has re-turned some two dozenmedals.“For that, he paid the ultimatesacrifice.”

Police: 7 kidnapped in NigeriaBAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) —

Gunmen attacked a camp fora construction company inrural northern Nigeria, killinga guard and kidnapping sevenforeign workers from Britain,Greece, Italy, Lebanon and thePhilippines, authorities saidSunday, in the biggest kid-napping yet in a region underattack by Islamic extremists.The attack Saturday night

happened in Jama’are, a townin Bauchi state. There, thegunmen first attacked a localprison, burning two policetrucks, Bauchi state policespokesman HassanMuhammed told The Associ-ated Press.The gunmen then targeted

a workers’ camp for Lebaneseconstruction company Se-traco, which is building a roadin the area, Muhammed said.The gunmen shot dead aguard at the camp before kid-napping the foreign workers,the spokesman said.

“The gunmen came withexplosives, which they used tobreak some areas,”Muhammed said. He did notelaborate and an AP journal-ist could not immediatelyreach the town, which is about200 kilometers (125 miles)north of the state capital,Bauchi.One British citizen, one

Greek, one Italian, threeLebanese and one Filipinowere kidnapped, said AdamuAliyu, the chairman of thelocal government area thatencompasses Jama’are. Hesaid one of the hostages was awoman, while the rest weremen. He initially had saidfour of the hostages wereLebanese. He blamed the con-fusion on incorrect informa-tion he received from his staff.Italian news agency ANSA

later said authorities con-firmed an Italian had beenkidnapped. It quoted ForeignMinister Giulio Terzi saying

the safety of the hostage mustbe given “absolute priority.”Greece confirmed one of its

citizens was abducted. Astatement from Greece’s for-eign ministry said authoritieshad a plane on standby tosend investigators to Nigeriaand that its foreign ministerhad been in contact withTerzi.“Two Greek police officers,

liaisons in Greece’s NigerianEmbassy, are in contact withtheir colleagues of the coun-tries involved and the Niger-ian authorities,” thestatement said.Britain’s Foreign Office

said Sunday it was lookinginto the kidnappings.No group immediately

claimed responsibility for theabductions, though Nigeria’spredominantly Muslim northhas been under attack by theradical Islamic sect known asBoko Haram in the last yearand a half.

Bombskill

dozensBAGHDAD (AP) — Car

bombs tore through shoppingareas within minutes of eachother in mainly Shiite neigh-borhoods of the Iraqi capitalon Sunday, killing at least 37people and wounding morethan 100.The attacks come amid ris-

ing sectarian discord in Iraqand appear aimed at shakingIraqis’ confidence in the Shi-ite-led government. The ex-plosions struck at the start ofthe local work week and pri-marily targeted outdoor mar-kets.Violence in Iraq has fallen

since the height of sectarianfighting in 2006 and 2007, butinsurgents still frequentlylaunch lethal attacks againstsecurity forces and civilians. Itwas the third time this monththat attacks have claimedmore than 20 lives in a singleday.The attacks began with the

detonation of a parked carloaded with explosives in thesprawling Shiite district ofSadr City on Sunday morning.Two more parked cars laterexploded elsewhere in theneighborhood.Nima Khadum, a govern-

ment employee, said theblasts shattered the windowsof his Sadr City house. Hesaid the air was heavy withsmoke, while burning cars lit-tered the street and the bod-ies of the dead and woundedlay nearby.“The scene was a bloody one

that brought to my mind thepainful memories of the vio-lent past,” he said. “I don’t seethe benefit of security check-points that only cause trafficjams and don’t do anything tosecure Baghdad. The govern-ment, with its failing securityforces, bears full responsibilityfor the bloodshed today.”Simultaneous explosions

also hit the southeasternBaghdad neighborhood of al-Amin, where the force of theblasts left behind little exceptthe mangled chassis of twocars.

dress outside the capi-tal, so he feels like it’s amore receptive audience.He’s trying to paint him-self as a proactive gover-nor coming forward withall those proposals kindof rapid-fire.”

To review:—In mid-December,

Kasich announced hisplan to borrow againstfuture toll revenue onthe Ohio Turnpike togenerate up to $3 billionfor highway and bridgeconstruction projects

—On Jan. 9, the pri-vate nonprofit job-cre-ation entity Kasichcreated, JobsOhio, an-nounced with the ad-ministration that it wasmoving forward with thesale of $1.5 billion inbonds backed by futurestate liquor proceeds —disregarding a pendinglawsuit against the en-tity’s constitutionality.

—On Jan. 31, the ad-ministration released itsmuch-anticipated over-haul of Ohio’s schoolfunding formula. Kasichsaid the aim was help-ing students in poor dis-tricts compete bynarrowing tax-base dis-

parities, while reward-ing innovation and ex-panding access tovouchers. The plan gavean overall boost to theK-12 bottom line, pro-posing $15.1 billion inspending over two years,but left the bulk of indi-vidual districts with lit-tle to no increase in thefirst year.

—Four days later, Ka-sich unveiled a budgetpacked with significantpolicy overhauls. Theyincluded a restructuringof Ohio’s tax code tophase in reductions toincome and small-busi-ness taxes and applyingthe state sales tax, at aslightly lower rate, tolong list of additionalservices. The budget alsoincorporates an expan-sion of Medicaid throughthe federal health careoverhaul, the new K-12school-funding formula,and a new way of fund-ing public colleges anduniversities that fosterscost-saving collaborationand emphasizes collegecompletion over enroll-ment.

Mark Cassell, an as-sociate political science

professor at Kent StateUniversity, said Kasich’sbudget and school fund-ing package is “verymixed” for Ohioans. Bylaying out the planahead of the State of theState, the governor hasgiven himself a forum todefend it.

“There’s a bit ofsmoke and mirrors inthere,” Cassell said. “Inthe last budget, hepushed along these dra-conian cuts to the locallevel. He can now pro-claim to be very gener-ous to those localgovernments andschools, while offeringthese tax cuts. Butbroadening the sales taxwill mean rising costsfor everyone, and thepoor will be hit the hard-est.”

Cassell said, “I thinkhe genuinely believesthese things are going towork to improve thestate’s economy.” TheState of the State will behis chance to sell them.

The two leading candidates are former city coun-cilman John Cranley and Vice Mayor RoxanneQualls, a former mayor. Both have strong vote-get-ting records and fundraising ability, which appearsto be deterring some potential candidates.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that some polit-ical observers find it concerning that no black con-tenders have stepped forward.

Neighbors swap servicesCOLUMBUS (AP) — Remem-

ber the days when your fatherhelped paint a neighbor’s houseand that neighbor returned thefavor by helping him with his taxreturn?

A group based in Clintonvillehas brought back that concept ofbeing neighborly, but with a moreuniversal twist.

The Care and Share TimeBank allows members to call onneighbors for help with anythingfrom a drive to the airport to aSpanish lesson, from eye care tocar repairs. The helpers earn“time credits” that they can use torecruit other time-bank membersto fulfill their needs.

Building community is at theproject’s core, said co-founderMichael Greenman ofWesterville.But other benefits to members in-clude saving money, especiallyduring tough economic times; re-ducing energy use; and placingequal value on the abilities of allparticipants.

“Everybody has skills andvalue, and that’s one of the princi-ples we go on,” said Greenman, 69,a retired international-marketingexecutive. “Every service that isprovided is valued equally.There’sno hierarchy.”

Since its founding about twoyears ago, the project has grownto 160 members who have ex-changed about 1,200 hours.

A steadily growing nationalmovement has resulted in the for-mation of at least 300 banksacross the country and inspires

interest from five new groupseach week, said Edgar Cahn,founder of the Washington-basedTimeBanks USA.

Time banking has largely beena grass-roots movement of people“discovering we need each other,”Cahn said, but it is expanding asnonprofits learn to enlist the net-works as partners. For example,some time banks partner withhospital systems on research,offer visiting-nurse services andwork with new immigrants, hesaid.

“It creates a new extended fam-ily that bridges race, class, gender,ethnicity and national origin in avery exciting way,” he said. “Thisis really about what equalitymeans.This is what it means to bea human being.”

Partners in the Care andShare network include the FirstUnitarian Universalist Churchof Columbus, the Interfaith As-sociation of Central Ohio andSimply Living. Members can do-nate some of their accrued timeto the nonprofit groups, whichcan then engage the time bankfor needed tasks, such as helpingto plan an activity or driving adisabled client to a medical ap-pointment.

Tina Thonnings, 44, of Clin-tonville, has drawn on the timebank for various services, includ-ing having her house painted, or-ganizing a room and moving arefrigerator. She has helped oth-ers with child care, reflexology, fil-ing and other tasks.

Examples of other offerings inthe bank are lawn and gardencare, tailoring, cooking, photorestoration, computer help, musiclessons and pet care.

“Everyone has something togive, and each of us is valued forwhat we have to offer,” said Thon-nings, who works as a business di-rector at a preschool and as amassage therapist. “A lot of peopledon’t think they have a lot to give,but most of the tasks people wantare things that anyone can give.”

Recently,Thonnings helped outlocal resident Joe Del Medico, whoneeded to get some paperwork inorder. He said he’s been describedas a “poster child” for the group,having given about 47 hours oftime and cashing in about 16.

The computer programmer inhis 40s asked for help plastering,painting and performing plumb-ing work on a rental property.He’s offered computer help, on-line-file organization and electri-cal work.

He said the main benefits totime banking are being able to getto know and trust the peopledoing the work (members meet formonthly potluck meals) and beingable to obtain services that other-wise would have been unafford-able.

The framework also helps peo-ple who have needs retain self-confidence and dignity byallowing them to offer their timeto others, said co-founder SteveBosserman, 63, a business-man-agement consultant.

Police wait for resultsof untested rape kitsCLEVELAND (AP) —

Police agencies acrossOhio have sent morethan 2,300 untested rapekits to a state crime labfor testing that could po-tentially help solve hun-dreds of sexual assaultcases, some dating backdecades.

Attorney GeneralMike DeWine encour-aged Ohio’s nearly 800law enforcement agen-cies to clear theirtestable sexual assaultevidence off shelves inDecember 2011 followingmedia reports that manykits remained in storage.

An analysis of datafrom the Ohio attorneygeneral’s office indicatespolice departmentsstatewide could faceabout 850 potential casesresulting from DNAmatches when all cur-rently submitted kits aretested, The (Cleveland)Plain Dealer reportedSunday.

Officials say some rea-sons older kits were nottested include costs, pro-tocols limiting what was

tested and a lack of un-derstanding about thevalue of DNA evidence.

Nearly half of the kitssubmitted came from theCleveland police depart-ment, which could haveabout 390 potential caseswhen all the currentlysubmitted data is tested.Cleveland Police ChiefMichael McGrath said heplans to add up to twomore detectives to theunit handling thosecases and get assistancefrom the FBI, if needed.

Matches don’t auto-matically mean a rapecase is solved, but theycan give detectives inves-tigative leads, confirmoriginal suspects or iden-tify serial rapists. Offi-cials also point out thatsome of the older rapecases could run upagainst a 20-statute oflimitations that wouldprevent prosecutingthose cases.

DeWine helped securefederal funding in 2003to help departmentscatch up with testing thekits.

CAUV web sessionset for Feb. 27

ST. LOUIS — After a day anda half of discussion, U.S. soy-bean farmers and other repre-sentatives of the U.S. soyindustry agreed that continuingto promote the benefits ofbiotechnology, maximizing thecontent of soy meal and oil, rap-idly adopting high oleic soybeanvarieties and preserving the Re-newable Fuel Standard (RFS2)are top priorities to lead the in-dustry into the future.“The soy checkoff ’s priority is

to continue to create opportuni-ties for all U.S. soybean farmers,as well as their customers, tosucceed,” says United SoybeanBoard (USB) Chairman JimStillman, a soybean farmer fromEmmetsburg, Iowa. Stillmanhelped lead the CONNEC-TIONS conference, which in De-cember brought representativesof the U.S. soy industry togetherto discuss the top issues and op-portunities facing U.S. soybeanfarmers.“To do this, we must chal-

lenge ourselves as farmers, andall soy industry representatives,to stay ahead of changing globaldemands,” Stillman says. “Thegame changers and strategiesidentified at CONNECTIONSplay a major role in ensuring wemeet this goal.”Nearly 400 CONNECTIONS

attendees participated in ses-sions related to the checkoff ’sfour strategic objectives andranked the strategies mostlikely to positively impact U.S.soybean farmers. The soy check-off will join others in the indus-

try in using the identified prior-ities to inform their direction inthe future. Top priorities foreach of USB’s strategic objec-tives included:

Customer focusParticipants prioritized pre-

serving the Renewable FuelStandard (RFS2) and promotingbiodiesel and Bioheat. The pro-motion of biotechnology and theincreased focus on improvingU.S. soy’s advantages were alsoidentified as priorities.

MealParticipants identified top

priorities to be maximizing thecontent of meal and oil in soy-beans through integration of re-search, breeding and processing.Emphasis was also put on de-veloping a transparent systemthat rewards farmers for higherquality and supporting U.S. soymeal products to boost animaluse of soy meal.

OilParticipants prioritized pro-

tecting and growing the RFS2 aswell as strengthening it as aprice driver for soy oil to makesoy meal more cost-competitivefor animal farmers as top prior-ities. Additional priorities in-cluded rapid adoption ofhigh-oleic soybean varieties andimproving soy composition andyield.

Freedom to 0peratePriorities to ensure farmers’

freedom to operate included en-gaging consumers, food compa-nies and farmers inconversations to educate abouttoday’s agriculture. This in-

cludes partnering with organi-zations such as U.S. Farmersand Ranchers Alliance andCommonGround on checkoff-funded projects when educatingconsumers on the topic ofbiotechnology. Farmers alsoidentified the need to increasefunding for transportation im-provements as a top priority.A copy of the full CONNEC-

TIONS report can be found here.Presentations from every ses-sion are available here.The 69 farmer-directors of

USB oversee the investments ofthe soy checkoff to maximizeprofit opportunities for all U.S.soybean farmers.These volunteers invest and

leverage checkoff funds to in-crease the value of U.S. soy mealand oil, to ensure U.S. soybeanfarmers and their customershave the freedom and infra-structure to operate, and tomeet the needs of U.S. soy’s cus-tomers. As stipulated in the fed-eral Soybean Promotion,Research and Consumer Infor-mation Act, the USDA Agricul-tural Marketing Service hasoversight responsibilities forUSB and the soy checkoff.For more information on the

What kind of day will tomorrow be?To find out what the stars say, read theforecast given for your birth sign.

ForWednesday, Feb. 20, 2013ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)You feel idealistic and self-sacrificing

today, which is why you will put theneeds of others before your own. Quitelikely, this is noble (but don’t be asucker).

TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)

Discussions with others might focuson your hopes and dreams for the fu-ture. Be careful you don’t fall into a pie-in-the-sky mode, wishing for theimpossible. Stay realistic.

GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)

Youmight feel sympathetic toward aparent or someone in a position of au-thority today. Or alternatively, an au-thority figure might be sympathetic toyou. It’s all good.

CANCER(June 21 to July 22)

Because your appreciation of beautyis heightened today, give yourself achance to enjoy beautiful places. Visitmuseums, art galleries, parks and gor-geous buildings.

LEO(July 23 to Aug. 22)

You feel a strong need to help some-one less fortunate today. This is verygood; nevertheless, don’t give away thefarm. Protect your own self-interest.

VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Discussions with partners and closefriendswill be unusually in-sync. It’s al-most as if you can read the other per-son’s mind or know what he or shewants. Lots of mutual sympathy andunderstanding are possible.

LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Youmight feel compelled to help a co-worker or listen to his or her problems

—or vice versa, youmight need a shoul-der to cry on. People are very sympa-thetic today.

SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

This is a wonderful day for artists,because any kind of creative work willflow beautifully. You are very much intouch with your imagination and yourmuse.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Conversations with family mem-bers will be mutually sympathetictoday. It’s easy to understand whatit’s like to walk a mile in someoneelse’s wedges. People will be good toyou.

CAPRICORN(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

You might spend a lot of time day-dreaming or fantasizing today. Don’tworry about this. We all need a men-tal-health day now and then.

AQUARIUS(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Be careful with financial matterstoday, because something might lookbetter than it really is.Also, be carefulwhen spending money, because you’retempted to go overboard for some-thing extravagant and luxurious.

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)

Your energy is a bit weaker today.It feels like you’re walking in quick-sand. Don’t worry about this, becauseit’s a quickly passing influence. Pro-ceed gently.

YOU BORN TODAY You are qui-etly cooperative and extremely per-ceptive. You notice the world aroundyou. In fact, if possible, you want topass on the impressions you have toothers. You have an excellent memoryand strength of personality so thatothers will listen to your ideas. Youryear ahead is the beginning of a freshnew cycle. Open any door.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

Technology Expo set March 2 at SHS

DR. WAL-LACE: I’ve beensuspended fromschool for threedays and myparents and Iare very upsetat the principal.Yesterday dur-ing lunch break,a girl came up tome and startedpulling my hairand punchingme because shesaid that I “stole” herboyfriend from her. I amgoing out with Ramon,but I had nothing to dowith their breaking up.

I was shocked whenthis girl attacked me, butit didn’t take me long todefend myself. We wentat it hot and heavy forabout five minutes be-fore a teacher separatedus. I got in a few goodhits, and I noticed thather nose was bleedingwhen the fight ended.The girl who started thefight was suspended forfive days, and she de-served it, but my three-day suspension wastotally unfair. I was at-tacked, and my only“crime” was that I de-fended myself. Also, onmy record is a note say-ing that I had been sus-pended for three days forfighting. I still mighthave been suspendedeven if I had allowed thisgirl to pound me withoutfighting back.

The principalsaid I was sus-pended becauseit takes two peo-ple to cause afight. What doyou think aboutthis since youare a formerhigh school prin-cipal? — Cheri,Santa Ana,Calif.

CHERI: Afight on campus

causes a serious disrup-tion of the educationalprocess, and most admin-istrators discipline thecombatants severely. Inalmost all fights, one per-son swings first and theboxing/wrestling matchis under way, causingstudents from all cornersof the campus to rush tothe scene to see the ac-tion.

I know that it is diffi-cult — perhaps some-times impossible — toturn the other cheekwhen attacked. That’swhy I was always moresevere about disciplinewhen I ascertained thatone party was more atfault than the other.

In your case, I wouldhave given you a day athome to cool down, whilethe aggressor wouldhave received a five-daysuspension. When theother girl returned toschool, the two of youwould have met with mein my office to make surethe “misunderstanding”was completely over.

I suggest that yourparents contact yourcounselor and ask if anaddendum could beadded to your fightingsuspension noting that

you were not the aggres-sor, but that you only de-fended yourself.

DR. WALLACE: I’m17 and will be in collegethis fall. My parents aredivorced, and I’ve livedwith my mother alone fortwo years. My parentshad a bitter separation,so my mother refused toallow my father to seeme even though he hadthe legal right to do so.He didn’t want to causeme any problems.

I want to invite my fa-ther to my high schoolgraduation for two rea-sons. First, he is helpingpay for my college educa-tion, and second, I hap-pen to love my father.Even though I haven’tseen him in two years, Imiss him. My mom is aspecial lady, and I loveher, too. She does notwant my father at thegraduation ceremony.Should I invite my dad?— Nameless, Dallas,Tex.

NAMELESS: Your fa-ther deserves to see hisdaughter graduate fromhigh school and shouldget an invitation to dojust that.

B vitamins don’t work forall neuropathy patients

Wedding dance jealousy may push partner away

DEAR DR.ROACH: I’vehad pain on thesoles of my feetsince 1999 dueto injury to mysciatic nerve andto diabetes. Myregular doctorand physicaltherapist haveoffered no solu-tions. It has keptme awake atnight and limp-ing during theday.

A year ago, a nursefriend recommended vita-mins B-6 and B-12.Tomyamazement,within a cou-ple of weeks, most of thepain was gone.Today it iscompletely gone, al-though the soles of myfeet are still numb. I told

my doctor andtherapist, and theyhad no explana-tion. — J.H.

ANSWER: I getmany, many let-ters from peoplecomplaining ofn e u r o p a t h y ,mostly noting thatthe medicationsdon’t work or havetoo many side ef-fects. But it’s im-portant to knowthat there are

dozens of causes for neu-ropathy (which justmeans something’swrong with the nerve),and what works for oneperson may not work foranother.

One of my neurologycolleagues told me thatdiabetics are at a higher

risk for every kind of neu-ropathy. I think this issignificant in your case,because I suspect theremay be several reasonsfor your neuropathy.

Diabetic neuropathy isseen especially in peoplewhose diabetes is long-standing or has not beenwell-controlled. It causesnumbness (this very im-portant; a diabetic maynot recognize an injury tothe foot) and later maycause pain. Every dia-betic should have regularfoot exams and be testedfor diabetic neuropathy.

Many kinds of medi-cines are used to treatthis, including medicinesthat are also used for de-pression and epilepsy.Some people require sev-eral medicines, and even

then, the treatment does-n’t always work well.

Vitamin B-6 has beenstudied for diabetic neu-ropathy and isn’t gener-ally effective for mostpeople; however, it is safein reasonable doses (say,25 or 50 mg). Vitamin B-12 deficiency can causesevere neurologic condi-tions.We often treat B-12deficiency with injection;however, most people canget all they need fromoral vitamin B-12 ifenough is given (usually1 mg). A trial of B-6 andB-12 is reasonable forpeople suffering withneuropathy, and althoughnot many people willhave as good a responseas you did, it may help,and is very unlikely toharm.

DEAR ABBY:My boyfriend ofone year, “Eddie,”has been invitedto the wedding ofa waitress whoworks at arestaurant/barhe frequents. Iwas not invited.Eddie doesn’tdance and hasslow danced withme only once.When I told him Iwould not appreciatehim slow dancing withanyone there, we had aheated argument. Eddietold me I have no right totell him what to do andthat I’m trying to controlhim.

I have run this bymany people—male andfemale — and they allsay it’s inappropriate toslow dance with anyone

but your signifi-cant other, espe-cially when she’snot present.

I feel Eddiehas little regardfor my feelings. Ifhe really caredfor me, he would-n’t want to dancewith anyone else.I am interestedin your thoughts.— HIS ONLYDANCE PART-

NERDEAR HIS ONLY: If

you would like to “gradu-ate” from girlfriend to fi-ancee, you will stoptrying to control him andtell him you hope he hasa good time at the wed-ding.

Insecurity is not anattractive trait, so calmdown and recognize thata dance is only a dance.

From your description ofEddie’s lack of ability, Iseriously doubt he willbe a sought-after partneron any dance floor.

DEAR ABBY: Ourtwo children (ages 4 and1 year) have hyphenatedlast names. It works welland the names sound el-egant together.

My husband and Ihave made this known inthe family and have dis-cussed it when askedabout it by various fam-ily members. However,over the last four yearsour choice has been ig-nored by two relativesfrom separate sides ofour family. They persistin using only my hus-band’s last name for cor-respondence and gifts.He has suggested return-ing the mail as “ad-dressee unknown,”which

I think might comeacross as rude.

Is there any way ofhaving our children ad-dressed correctly by rela-tives who seem to wantto ignore their realnames? — NEW YORKMOMMY

DEAR MOMMY: Be-fore doing it your hus-band’s way, try this:Have another chat withthe non-compliant rela-tives, who may comefrom a different genera-tion. Explain that yougave your children hy-phenated last names fora reason — that youwant to be equally repre-sented — and the omis-sion of “your” name hurtsyour feelings. If thatdoesn’t work, then go toback to plan A becauseyou don’t want your chil-dren to be confused.

Scammers will senda check and ask the sellerto wire the excessthrough Western Union(possibly for courier fees).The scammer's check isfake and eventuallybounces and the sellerloses the wired amount.While banks and WesternUnion branches aretrained at spotting fakechecks, these types ofscams are growing in-creasingly sophisticatedand fake checks oftenaren't caught for weeks.Funds wired throughWestern Union or Money-Gram are irretrievableand virtually untraceable.

MADISON, Wis. (AP)— Wisconsin can be aw-fully good when it ismaking shots. OhioState found that outSunday.The 20th-ranked

Badgers shot 53 percentfrom the field, their bestperformance of the sea-son, to rout No. 13 OhioState 71-49.“The guys got good

looks, and they wentdown,” Wisconsin coachBo Ryan said. “They did-n’t change anything. I’dlike to say we did, thatwe found something.”It was a dramatic

turnaround offensivelyfor Wisconsin (18-8, 9-4Big Ten) after Thursday,when the Badgers wentscoreless over the final 5minutes in regulationand then managed justfour points in overtimewhile losing at Min-nesota.The 39 first-half

points tied their bestopening period in BigTen play this season andwere only 10 fewer thanthe Badgers scored forthe entire game at OhioState in a Jan. 29 loss.Ohio State coach

Thad Matta said it wasjust one of those gameswhen the Badgers coulddo no wrong, perhapsbest summed up in thesecond half when Wis-

consin guard TraevonJackson banked in anoff-balance shot as theclock shot expired.Even so, Matta said

he was at a loss to ex-plain how poorly OhioState (18-7, 8-5) playedon defense.“We’ve seen the re-

sults if we’re not going toplay defensively. We’renot a good basketballteam,” Matta said. “Ifwe’re going to rely ontrying to outscore people,that’s not going to hap-pen.”The win kept Wiscon-

sin tied with Michiganfor third in the confer-ence, two games behindleaders Indiana andMichigan State. OhioState dropped into fifthplace.Wisconsin put Ohio

State in a hole early andnever let the Buckeyesclimb out of it.The Badgers took con-

trol with an 18-0 run inthe first half that lastedmore than 7minutes andput them up 24-6. At onepoint in the run, Mattacalled timeout and saidhe lost it with his play-ers, asking in bewilder-ment what was going on.“The way we opened

the game defensively,guys catch and shoot, weweren’t even challengingshots,” Matta said.

DAYTONA BEACH,Fla. (AP) — DanicaPatrick hasmade his-tory before— as aw o m a nand a racer,in Indi-a n a p o l i sand Japan.T h e

spotlight isnothing new. But neverhas it been this brightbefore.Patrick won the Day-

tona 500 pole Sunday,becoming the firstwoman to secure the topspot for any race inNASCAR’s premier cir-cuit. It’s by far thebiggest achievement ofher stock-car career.“I was brought up to

be the fastest driver, not

the fastest girl,” she said.“That was instilled in mefrom very young, fromthe beginning. Then Ifeel like thriving in thosemoments, where thepressure’s on, has alsobeen a help for me. I alsofeel like I’ve been luckyin my career to be withgood teams and havegood people around me. Idon’t think any of itwould have been possi-ble without that.“For those reasons,

I’ve been lucky enoughto make history, be thefirst woman to do manythings. I really just hopethat I don’t stop doingthat. We have a lot morehistory to make. We areexcited to do it.”Her latest stamp in

the history books camewith a lap at 196.434

mph around Daytona In-ternational Speedway.Patrick went out eighthin the qualifying session,then had to wait abouttwo hours as 37 fellowdrivers tried to take herspot.Only four-time Cup

champion Jeff Gordoneven came close toknocking her off. Gordonwas the only other driverwho topped 196 mph inqualifying. He locked upthe other guaranteedspot in next week’s sea-son-opening Daytona500.“It’s great to be a part

of history with Danicabeing on the pole,” saidGordon, who joked thatat least he was thefastest guy. “I think weall know how popularshe is, what this will do

for our sport. Congratu-lations to her. Proud tobe on there with her.”The rest of the field

will be set in duel quali-fying races Thursday.However the lineup

unfolds, all drivers willline up behind Patrick’sNo. 10 Chevrolet SS.And she knows her

latest achievement willmean more public rela-tions work.The routine is nothing

new for Patrick, who wasthe first woman to leadlaps in the Indianapolis500. She finished thirdin 2009, the highest fin-ish in that illustriousrace for a woman. Andshe became the onlywoman to win an Indy-Car race when she did itin Japan in 2008.Hardly anyone wit-

nessed that victory.Leading the field to

the green flag inNASCAR’s showcaseevent should be must-watch television.“That’s a huge accom-

plishment,” team ownerand fellow driver TonyStewart said. “It’s notlike it’s been 15 or 20years she’s been tryingto do this. It’s her secondtrip to Daytona here in aCup car. She’s made his-tory in the sport. That’sstuff that we’re proud ofbeing a part of with her.It’s something sheshould have a hugeamount of pride in.“It’s never been done.

There’s only one personthat can be the first to doanything. Doesn’t matterhow many do it after youdo, accomplish that same

goal. The first one thatdoes always has that lit-tle bit more significanceto it because you werethe first.”Even before her fast

lap Sunday, Patrick wasthe talk of Speedweeks.Not only did she open upabout her budding ro-mance with fellowSprint Cup rookie RickyStenhouse Jr., but shewas considered thefront-runner for the poleafter leading practicesessions Saturday.And she didn’t disap-

point.She kept her car at

or near the bottom ofthe famed track andgained ground on thestraightaways, showinglots of power from aHendrick Motorsportsengine.

SIDNEY’S LOGAN Calvert (top) wrestles John Veracco of Miamisburg in thesectional semifinals Saturday at Centerville. Veracco won this match 16-14.

CENTERVILLE —The Sidney Highwrestling team finishedfourth and qualifiedseven wrestlers to thedistrict tournament thisweek.The action took place

Friday and Saturday atCenterville High Schoolin Division I.“After the draw on

Thursday night I felt veryconfident that we couldget eight to 10 wrestlersqualify for the districtmeet,” said Sidney coachJim McCracken. “Sevenqualifiers and three alter-nates was a little disap-pointing with the yearwe’ve had as a team. Itwas probably the tough-est sectional I’ve seen in anumber of years. Coacheswere waiting on a certainteam to jump on with keymatchups. The other sec-tional filled up first, soseveral tough teamswereforced into our sectional.”Sidney had two sec-

ond-place finishers inMason Calvert at 138and Garrick Ginter at160.Calvert made the fi-

nals easily with a majorand a technical fall, thenmet a Miamisburgwrestler for the third timethis season. Branham gota takedown late in thethird period to win 3-2.Calvert is 27-11 and

will be making his thirdtrip to the district.Ginter had two first-

period pins to reach thefinals, giving him 25 onthe year. In the finals hemet a Middletownwrestler who placed atstate a year ago, andGinter lost 5-0.Ginter is now 34-8

and is making his firsttrip to the district.Jacob Sharp at 113

placed third.“Jacob wrestled very

solid,” said McCracken.“He was 4-1 with a pin.Roth of Lakota East hadonly four losses cominginto the tournament andJacob beat him twice toqualify.”Sharp is now 29-13

and will be wrestling in

the district for the thirdyear in a row.Alex Willman at 120

pounds also placed third.He was upset in the

first round when he wascaught with a head-and-arm and was pinnedwhen leading 12-6. Buthe came back to win fourstraight, including amajor decision over thesame wrestler who upsethim in the match toqualify.He is now 30-12 and

will make his second tripto the district. He’s just asophomore.Jacob Lochard at 182

was also third, which iswhat he was seededgoing into the sectional.“The shift down to 182

really helped Sidney toget another district qual-ifier in Noah Straman at195, Lochard’s oldweight class,” said Mc-Cracken. “Jacob won twoclose bouts with Palacioof Lakota East. His onlyloss came at the hands ofPlumlee of Fairmont, a7-1 decision in the semi-finals.”Lochard is now 23-9

and will be making hissecond trip to the dis-trict.Straman was third at

195.“Noah is a real story

in himself.” said Mc-Cracken. “He reallyturned this seasonaround. Last season as asophomore he only wonfive matches. It was aconfidence thing. Noahworks very hard in prac-tice and this weekendwas a big payday forhim.”His only loss was to

the top seed. But in thematch to qualify Stra-men pinned Bush ofVandalia in just 15 sec-onds.He is 24-11 and is

making his first trip tothe district.At 285, Maurice Ickes

finished fourth to earn adistrict berth.He was 2-2 at the sec-

tionals and both losseswere to Cosby of Spring-field, a state qualifier.

“Maurice’s key toqualifying was a 9-6 vic-tory over Bolden of Fair-born and a 3-2 victoryover Tulloch of Fair-mont, who had beatenhim in the GWOC.Mau-rice really wrestled asmart match. Tullochthrew him the firstmeeting so he was look-ing for it. When theFairmont opponenttried to throw him thistime he was waiting onhim and fell on him fora two point takedown,and that was the differ-ence.”Ickes is 25-16 and will

be in the district for thesecond time.Sidney had three al-

ternates in Kyle Pierceat 106, Logan Calvert at145 and Ryan Penley at152, all of whom placedfifth.“Overall, we didn’t

wrestle that poorly,” saidMcCracken. “We justdidn’t pull out many up-sets. And our pin totalwas down, with onlyeight for the entire tour-nament.”The district will be at

Fairfield High School onFriday and Saturday.The top four advance tothe state meet.Lehman competed in

the Division III Sec-tional held at Lehmanover the weekend.Lehman wrestlerqualifies in D-IIILehman qualified one
