WASHINGTON (AP) —Tensions rising by the day, theObama administration saidFriday it is warning Iran throughpublic and private channelsagainst any action that threatensthe flow of oil from the PersianGulf. The Navy revealed that twoU.S. ships in and near the Gulfwere harassed by Iranian speed-

boats last week.Spokesmen were vague on what

the United States would do aboutIran’s threat to block the strategicStrait of Hormuz, but military offi-cials have been clear that the U.S.is readying for a possible navalclash.

That prospect is the latestflashpoint with Iran, and one of

the most serious. Although it cur-rently overshadows the threat ofwar over Iran’s disputed nuclearprogram, perhaps beginning withan Israeli military strike on Iran’snuclear structure, both simmeringcrises raise the possibility of ashooting war this year.

“We have to make sure we areready for any situation and have

all options on the table,” DefenseSecretary Leon Panetta said,addressing a soldier’s questionThursday about the overall risk ofwar with Iran.

Navy officials said that in sepa-rate incidents Jan. 6, three Iranianspeedboats each armed with amounted gun briefly chased after aU.S. Navy ship just outside the

Diamond Galleria owner BrianJoseph isn’t just a jewelry design-er — he’s an artist.

Joseph’s artistic jewelry designskills go beyond the run-of-the-mill jewelry selections, because ifyou can’t find it, he’ll create it.

“People still have an opportu-nity to get quality jewelry madeby a true professional,” Josephsaid.

Joseph, a native of Michigan,said he feels right at home in Troy,where he chose to open his family-owned-and-operated jewelry storeat 1800 W. Main St., in the formerPro-Cuts salon location.

In the palm of his hand, Josephshowed the latest project he’s

making for his adopted communi-ty — a hand-carved strawberrythat will become a bracelet inhonor of the Troy StrawberryFestival.

“People have always said ‘Youcan do that?’ and I’ve been help-ing people create memories andheirlooms for years,” Joseph said.

“I’m thrilled when I get towork with an organization for agreat cause,” Joseph said. “I cantake the design from someone’shead to a finished piece.”

Joseph, a master jeweler andcertified designer, creates uniquepieces right in DiamondGalleria’s showroom. Otherdesigns Joseph has createdinclude Relay for Life and other

community landmarks, customcut and designed.

“People can watch custom-designed jewelry being maderight here on the showroom floor,”he said.

Joseph, also a master gold-smith, said Diamond Galleriaoffers full-service jewelry clean-ing, watch and jewelry repair,engraving, as well as customrestoration of antique pieces.

“I’ve worked with an art muse-um to restore pieces to their orig-inal condition — that was a funproject,” Joseph said of the jewel-ry restoration of pieces that weremore than 100 years old.

Also in the showroom, a slideshow of Joseph’s jewelry designsshowcases his artistic abilities

A simple plea that ranas a letter to the editor inthe Piqua Daily Call lastweek encouraged area res-idents to donate blanketsand towels to the MiamiCounty Animal Shelter.

Now, Miami CountyAnimal Shelter DirectorMarcia Doncaster said theaftermath of the letter hasresulted in the shelterreceiving large amounts ofblankets and towels.

Doncaster said thedonations have helped theshelter and that she was“overwhelmed by the gen-

erosity of people” after theletter appeared Jan. 7.

The letter, penned byanimal lover Julie Heckerof Piqua, urged people todonate such items thatwere in good condition tothe shelter “to help keepthe homeless dogs fromsleeping on cold cementfloors.”

“We certainly appreci-ated the donations,” saidDoncaster, who noted theshelter is not in need ofrugs, carpets, pads or pil-lows because the dogs

TROY

NEWYORK (AP) —Out of a rel-atively balmy winter have sprungsome economic surprises. Peoplehave more cash in their pocketsbecause they aren’t turning up thethermostat. Airlines don’t have tode-ice planes or battle blizzards.And shoppers are finding greatdeals on coats and boots.

But there are also disappoint-ments. Merchants are stuck withunsold shovels and snow blowers.Drugstores say customers aren’tbuying cold medicine or getting asmany flu shots.

The weather has been so mildthat at some hardware outlets,rakes are flying off the shelf, andgrass seed is outselling ice-meltingsalt.

“I haven’t seen this mix of salessince I can remember,” said DavidZiegler, whose family owns nineAce Hardware stores in the north-west Chicago area. “They’re buyingrakes … just because it’s warmerand people are not holed up.”

This winter has been remark-ably tame, especially in regionsaccustomed to a three-month tusslewith freezing temperatures, snow,sleet and ice. In the Northeast, onlyfour Decembers in the last 117years have been warmer, accordingto the National Weather Service.

The weather feels especiallygentle after two straight seasons ofbitter cold and heavy snow. And itwill take much more than Friday’srelatively moderate snowstorm inthe Midwest and Northeast tochange that.

For Rocco A. Guadagna, it’s beena lazy winter. He owns a lawn careand snow-removal company inBuffalo, N.Y. Because he charges anupfront fee for an entire season ofplowing, he’s getting paid eventhough he’s hardly had to do anywork.

better made pieces at anaffordable price with supe-

shop, polishing and clean-ing and was an apprenticefor my brother for twoyears before going to GemCity College, where I wastop of my class,” Josephsaid. “I like the artisticfreedom — the freedom to

WASHINGTON (AP) —A quote carved in stone onthe new Martin LutherKing Jr. memorial inWashington will be changedafter the inscription wascriticized for not accuratelyreflecting the civil rightsleader’s words.The Washington Post

first reported on Friday thedecision to change theinscription, which currentlyreads: “I was a drum majorfor justice, peace and right-eousness.” The phrase ischiseled into one side of amassive block of granitethat includes King’s like-ness emerging from thestone. It became a point ofcontroversy after the memo-rial opened in August.The phrase is modified

from a sermon known as the“Drum Major Instinct,” inwhich the 39-year-old Kingexplained to hisAtlanta con-gregation how he would liketo be remembered at hisfuneral. He made theFebruary 1968 speech justtwo months before he wasassassinated in Memphis,Tenn.In the speech, King’s

words seem more modestthan the paraphrasedinscription: “Yes, if you wantto say that I was a drummajor, say that I was a drummajor for justice. Say that Iwas a drum major for peace.I was a drum major forrighteousness.And all of theother shallow things will notmatter.”Poet Maya Angelou pre-

viously said the truncatedversion made King soundlike “an arrogant twit”because it was out of con-text.A spokesman for the U.S

Department of the Interiorconfirmed on Friday thatSecretary Ken Salazardecided to have the quotechanged. It’s not clear howmuch any changemight costor how it would be paid for.Salazar gave the

National Park Service,which the U.S Departmentof the Interior oversees, amonth to consult with theKing Memorial Foundation,which led the effort to buildthe memorial, as well asfamily members.

The Jerusalem Post onU.S.-Saudi arms dealings:A massive arms deal

clinched between the US andSaudi Arabia has received sur-prisingly little attention athome.

The US finalized the sale of84 top-of-the-line F-15SA fight-er jets to the Saudi air force.From the U.S.’s standpoint, thedeal appears to achieve a num-ber of goals.

First, it provides a boost torelations with the Saudis, aftera period of turbulence overAmerica’s unwillingness toprop up autocratic regimes inthe region in the face of popu-

lar uprisings.The arms deal is also a

hedge against Iranian aggres-sion.

It comes during a weekwhen Iran again threatened toblock ship traffic through theStrait of Hormuz — a mainartery for the passage of oil —in response to internationaleconomic sanctions.

Finally, the transaction is amajor boon for a weak USeconomy.

But from an Israeli perspec-tive, the deal appears some-what problematic.

Though Washington’s inten-tion is to build the Saudis’ con-

fidence in the face of anincreasingly belligerent Iran,these fighter planes could, intheory, just as soon be usedagainst the Jewish State asagainst the Islamic Republic.The present Saudi regimeseems stable — but so did theMubarak’s and Ben Ali’s.

In what is euphemisticallybeing called the “Arab Spring,”the U.S. need to reevaluate itsmilitary ties in the region, notprimarily out of a concern forIsraeli interests, rather as ameans of preventing religiousextremists from imposing theirradical policies with the aid ofadvanced U.S. arms.

DOONESBURY

WASHINGTON (AP) — The promising drop in unemploymentrecently looks like a job-security bonus for President Barack Obamaas well, undercutting Republicans’ assertions that his economic poli-cies have failed. The president himself heralded the news with hismost confident assessment yet.

“We’re starting to rebound,” he declared. “We’re moving in the rightdirection.”

It’s still 10 months until Election Day, and while the narrative ispositive for Obama now, the economy could still turn sour again. TheRepublicans who want his job were giving him no credit on Friday,and Rick Santorum even suggested hiring was improving becausebusiness owners figured Obama was on his way out.

But December’s 8.5 percent jobless rate down from 8.7 inNovember and 9 percent in October gives Obama a positive story linethrough the Republican presidential primaries in January and under-scores other bright spots emerging on the economic scene for his year-long fight for re-election.

More good economic news: The average workweek lengthened,average hourly pay rose and the length of time people spent unem-ployed also declined. To some economists the data indicated the econ-omy was approaching “escape velocity” the space age term to describethe ability of a recovery to sustain itself and break away from a reces-sion’s gravitational pull.

As Obama’s potential rivals fight their way toward the Republicannomination by trying to distinguish themselves from each other andfrom Obama, the news on jobs dilutes a central theme of their candi-dacies that Obama has failed to turn the economy around.

More Americans now expect the economy to improve this yearthan to get worse, according to a recent Associated Press-GfK poll. Atthe same time, Obama is being held more accountable for what hap-pens.

Obama has been loath to crow about any positive economic indica-tors, and White House economists have repeatedly stressed they donot read much into a single month’s report.

So it was notable on Friday that the president, while offering thecustomary cautions, could barely contain his optimism. Three timesduring brief remarks to staff at the Consumer Financial ProtectionBureau he said the economy or the country was “moving in the rightdirection.” December marked the fourth straight month of decline inthe jobless rate.

“A lot of families are still having a tough time. A lot of small busi-nesses are still having a tough time,” he said. “But we’re starting torebound. We’re moving in the right direction. We have made realprogress.”

Still, Obama is likely to face the highest unemployment rate onElection Day of any president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. A keyto his re-election will be whether the economy can sustain the encour-aging hiring trend. Time and again, David Axelrod, his top politicaladviser, has said the actual unemployment number is not as impor-tant as the trajectory.

Consider Jimmy Carter, who lost his re-election bid to RonaldReagan as unemployment climbed from 6 percent in October 1979 to7.5 percent in October of the 1980 election year. Likewise, GeorgeH.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton in 1992 in the midst of rising unem-ployment, which went from 6.9 percent September 1991 to 7.6 per-cent in September 1992.

Reagan managed to get re-elected in 1984 even though unemploy-ment stood at 7.4 percent in October of that year. The difference wasthat his unemployment trend line had been dropping since the springof 1983.

It seems to me there are twotypes of people in this world —those who like football and thosewho do not, at all.Between the two categories, I

fall into the latter, the one whodoesn’t like football, well, the onewho could care less whether foot-ball is ever on television or evenplayed again for that matter.Truth be told, there aren’t very

many sports I really care about. Ilike watching baseball, but that’smainly due to my love of softball,well, and baseball pants, of course.I don’t like the world’s favoritepastime, soccer, and don’t even getme started on basketball. If youask me, I was rooting for thosestrikes to go on forever.I like golf I guess, which might

sound silly since a lot of peopledon’t even consider it to be a sport(apparently they’ve never playedit).While I can appreciate some of

the eye candy golf has to offer(hello Adam Scott and DustinJohnson), I think there’s anotherreason I like it — for the mostpart, the “athletes” are dull, boringmen who come in, play a fewrounds and then go home.Sure, you have your John Dalys

who go off on tangents (or drunk-en spectacles) at Hooters and let’snot forget the entire Tiger Woodsdebauchery, but all in all, golfersare basically everyday men (menwho get paid an abundance to hita tiny ball into a tiny hole).Think about it, when’s the last

time you heard about a golfershooting himself in the leg withhis concealed weapon in the club-house or say, getting caught in anattempt to be a the drug kingpinof Chicago?Perhaps it’s because I’m a moth-

er and I now have a child who willone day (inevitably) look at, lookup or look to a professional athleteon television. What’s she going tohave to look up to? There’s thatfamous baseball pitcher who tried

to pawn his steroid use off on hiswife (good move there, Rocket), thefootball player who tortured andkilled dogs for sport (I bet he justreally needed the money) and thebasketball player who may or maynot have raped a woman or two(yeah, I don’t even know whichone I’m referring to here).These men all make Tiger

Woods cheating on his wife withevery IHOP server across theUnited States seem like charitywork.But wait, there is that one guy,

the one that a lot of people (main-ly those with an incredibly stronglack of belief system) don’t like,the one that a lot of people aretired of hearing about, the onethat a lot of people want to fail.Tim Tebow.That’s right, I said it. I dropped

a Tebow in my Saturday column.He’s the kind of athlete you

want your child to watch — thekind who realizes that his purposehere is much bigger than the sporthe’s playing. The one who uses thesport he’s playing to achieve thatgreater purpose.Now don’t get me wrong — I’m

not jumping on the football fanbandwagon and I’m not saying I

agree with every word (or gospelfor that matter) that comes out ofTebow’s mouth. But I do agreewith what’s he’s trying to do. I lovethat there is an athlete who is aliving example of his faith, regard-less if it’s a faith I believe in or fol-low; how do you not respect some-one who brings that passion?I don’t know if he’s really as

good as he seems. I can’t guaran-tee that he won’t fall into theTiger Woods perfect-persona trapand disappoint the nation. But Ido know that when you stack himup with his competition — his fel-low athletes — charity-sponsoring,hospital-visiting, sick-child-wish-granting athlete deserves a littlecredit, over-the-top religious ornot.Maybe religion doesn’t have a

place on the football field, maybeit does. I don’t know.But one thing is for sure — if a

man’s belief system, the thing thatdrives him to drive that football —doesn’t belong on the football field,then I’m left wondering whydrugs, gambling and violence do.

WILMA J. FISHER

Last year, his plowswent out 42 times, morethan usual. This year, hewent out Friday for just thesecond time. But he doesn’tthink customers mind pay-ing for something theybarely use.

“Ninety percent, whenthey pay me, they say ‘Ihope I never see you,’” hesaid.

He’s not the only onesaving money. The weatherand low natural gas priceshave combined to pushdown home heating costsfor the 51 percent ofAmerican households thatuse gas.

A typical bill this winterwill be $700, a 3 percentdrop from last year and thefourth straight year ofdeclines, according to MarkWolfe, executive director ofthe National EnergyAssistance Director’sAssociation.

Jim Cusick, a stateemployee in St. Paul, hasbeen able to run his radia-tors less and catch up on anout-of-control home heatingbill aggravated by the big,drafty old house where helives with five of his sixkids.

Because of last winter,Cusick said, he owed hisutility more than $3,000 inback payments. As of thismonth, he said, his nega-tive balance is down to$650.

“It’s a bummer for thekids. They miss the skatingand stuff,” Cusick said. “Butif winter stays mild, lifewill be better.”

Airlines are enjoyingsavings, too. During storms,they often lose moneybecause of refunds, delaysand added costs for laborand expensive de-icingfluid.

United ContinentalHoldings Inc., the world’slargest airline, saidDecember snowstorms in2010 hurt its fourth-quar-ter profit by $10 millionand wiped out $25 millionin revenue from fares andfees.

Not this season though.There were about 7,000flight cancelations in theU.S. in December, downfrom 29,000 the yearbefore, according toFlightStats. On-time per-formance improved to 79percent, from 66 percentthe year before.

The weather is a mixedbag for stores that offer

outdoor gear. Henry Carter,co-owner of 9th StreetCycles, a bike store inBrooklyn, N.Y., said sales ofwinter equipment havebeen slow, but bike saleshave been surprisinglybrisk. And customers areriding more. So instead ofthe occasional cleaning oradjustment, the repair shopis busy will full tuneups.

“That’s usually the stuffof summertime,” he said.

For retailers, the weath-er has been a challenge andan opportunity. They wantthe weather to be cold, butnot too cold. They hope for afew snowstorms thatinspire people to buy coatsand snow blowers, but notblizzards that keep shop-pers inside for days.

So, while more peopleare out shopping now,they’re not buying thebulky winter merchandise.And since they can’t sell it,stores have to discount itheavily, which eats away atprofit.

Now, instead of clearingout what’s left of the cold-weather stuff to make roomfor spring supplies, theyhave mounds of winterthings for sale at rock-bot-tom prices.

Coats are the biggestheadache. They take up alot of space, and they areexpensive, so big mark-downs hurt the bottom linemore. Stores are discount-ing coats by 70 percent onaverage, and many areslashing prices on entirecoat departments.

“Stores can’t get rid ofthe outerwear fast enough,”said Scott A. Bernhardt,chief operating officer ofPlanalytics Inc., a researchfirm that uses weather pat-terns to advise stores whatthey should buy to sell tocustomers.

Barbara Paschal ofMuncie, Ind., recently got acoat at Sears for $48,marked down from $120.Still, she’s holding off onbuying gloves for three ofher four teenage sons.

“There’s no reason tobuy gloves,” said Paschal,noting the temperature isaround 40 degrees. “If weget snow, then I will get thegloves.”

Drugstore operatorsWalgreen Co. and Rite AidCorp. both say the warmweather has hurt sales ofcough, cold and flu productscompared with last year.They are also giving fewerflu shots and filling fewerprescriptions.

NEW YORK (AP) —Richard Threlkeld, a far-ranging and award-winningcorrespondent who workedfor both CBS and ABCNews during a long career,has been killed in a carcrash on New York’s LongIsland.

The 74-year-old Threl-keld died Friday morning inAmagansett, N.Y., when hiscar collided with a propanetanker. He was pronounceddead at SouthamptonHospital, according to theEast Hampton, N.Y., PoliceDepartment. He lived innearby East Hampton.

The driver of the tanker,Earl Fryberger Jr., ofCoatesville, Penn., was notinjured, said police, who areinvestigating the accident.

Threlkeld spent morethan 25 years at CBS Newsbefore retiring in 1998. Hewas a reporter, anchor andbureau chief who coveredthe Persian Gulf War andthe Vietnam War, the PattyHearst kidnapping andtrial, the assassination ofRobert F. Kennedy, and theexecution of Gary Gilmore.

He was one of the lastjournalists evacuated fromPhnom Penh and Saigonwhen those cities fell to theCommunists in 1975.

CBS News correspon-dent Bob Simon was withhim when Saigon fell.

“Richard was old schoolin the best sense,” Simonsaid. “He really didn’t give adamn about being on cam-era. He didn’t do manystand-ups. He always fig-ured there was more inter-esting footage than him-self.”

Threlkeld covered thepresidential campaigns ofcandidates ranging fromBarry Goldwater andLyndon Johnson in the1960s to Bill Clinton in the1990s. He worked alongsideLesley Stahl as co-anchor of“The CBS Morning News”from 1977-79, and reportedfor “CBS Sunday Morning”from its inception in 1979,as well as for “The CBSEvening News With DanRather.”

Dear Heloise: I wanted tokeep pages in my new cookbookclean, so the book would remainnice-looking, with no messedpages or little splatters of food allover them. So, I pulled out somewax paper to cover the page Iwas reading my recipe from. Itworked great. I could readthrough the wax paper, and nocream cheese and egg on the pagein the book.(Heloise Update: You also can

place a glass pie plate over thepage you are working from. Itwill keep splatters and spillsaway.)When I am planning on baking

and giving breads or baked goodsto a neighbor or friends acrossthe country, I stagger out my bak-

ing supplies, buying things start-ing a few months ahead of time. Imake a list, see what is on specialat the store and cross off thethings I get each month. I alwaysget a fresh can of baking powderand baking soda to use in baking.— Angie W., Salem, Ore.TO FIX A SPILLDear Heloise: As a constant

reader of your unique and loving

advice, I recall that you printedmy contribution of more than 20years ago.As I was preparing to go, I was

in a hurry to manicure my nails.I also had on a new white blouse.I spilled a very large drop of pol-ish on the blouse and was devas-tated!My dear Italian mother calmly

removed the blouse and had meput on another. When I returnedlater that night, she had embroi-dered a beautiful red rose on it,and added an artistic green stemand leaves! Gorgeous, indeed! Shetaught my sisters and me manyways to repair and redo our cloth-ing, besides creating new ones.What a lady! Your grateful read-er. — Gilda, Washington, D.C.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: How do you dealwith ignorant relatives? My wifeand I have two teenagers andthree children under the age of12. We live an hour away fromfamily and see them during holi-days, birthdays, cookouts andsuch. I am close to both of myparents and speak to them daily.I believe they should have a goodrelationship with my kids. Wealso have nieces and nephewswho live an hour away acrossstate lines.I recently found out that my

parents have bought these niecesand nephews cellphones (to keepin touch) and special notebooksfor them to write back and forth,and they also send them littlegifts. Once a month, they areinvited to spend the night at myparents' house, while my kidshave spent two nights there infour years. When I see my par-ents, they talk about how theynever see my nieces andnephews, but I get to hear allabout the stuff they do and theirdaily email chats.I don't understand how my

parents can be so blind. They donothing with my children. Thereis no bad blood between us. Weare close. All I know is that I amsick of seeing my children hurtand tired of answering questionsabout why Grandpa andGrandma don't call or let themstay over like they do with theircousins. How do I make this bet-ter? — VermontDear Vermont: Grandparents

sometimes don't realize they areplaying favorites, and there are avariety of reasons behind it.Often, they feel they must over-compensate for those kids whoneed them more. In your parents'case, it's possible that they knowyou will always keep your chil-dren close, but they aren't sosure about the nieces andnephews, so they work harder atit. You need to tell your parentshow you feel, and let them knowthat they are inadvertently dam-aging their relationship withyour children. We hope they willrecalibrate their energies to bemore even-handed.Dear Annie: I am 15 and very

overweight. I've been this waysince I was little. I've tried losingweight, but can never seem tokeep it off for long.What bothers me most is the

intolerance at school. I hear thefat jokes and the whispers. I'dlove to have a boyfriend, but theguys in my class only like theskinny girls. This has destroyedwhat little self-confidence I had.I don't understand why people

can't accept all body types.Nowadays you have to be thin tobe considered pretty. I want tofeel pretty, too, and know thatpeople can like me as I am. Whycan't these attitudes be changed?— Confused in ConnecticutDear Confused: That's an

excellent question. Attitudes likethese are culturally entrenchedand reinforced by media images.Fat jokes and nasty whispers area form of bullying and should bereported to the school authori-ties. But instead of focusing onromance, simply work on being agood friend. Friends will see youthrough the rough spots.But we also are worried about

you. Extra weight can cause allkinds of physical problems.Please talk to your parents andhave them make an appointmentfor you to see your doctor and anutritionist. Get some exercise.Work on being healthy, regard-less of your size.Dear Annie: This is in

response to "Noisy Dog NextDoor." I don't disagree with yoursuggestions to call the neighbor-hood association and the humanesociety, but a quieter solution isavailable, too. There are battery-operated devices that emit ahigh-pitched sound that isuncomfortable to the dog.(Humans cannot hear it.) Weused this for our neighbor's dog.When he barked, we'd push thebutton and say, "No, Fido!" Itworked like a charm. Now weonly have to step out the backdoor for the dog to stop barking.— It's Quiet AgainAnnie's Mailbox is written by

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) —A Russian tanker has muscled itsway through hundreds of miles ofBering Sea ice several feet thick todeliver fuel to Nome. Now comesthe tricky part: getting more thana million gallons of diesel andgasoline to shore through a mile-long hose without a spill.

The problem is that Nome’sharbor is iced-in, preventing the370-foot tanker from getting to thecity dock. It will have to moor off-shore to transfer its 1.3-million-gallon payload across the ice andto fuel headers that feed a nearbytank farm.

“I think all of the precautionshave been addressed,” NomeHarbormaster Joy Baker saidFriday. “I think everything thatshould be done has been done.”

For days, operations officialshave looked at how best to lay thesegmented fuel hose across theshore-fast ice for the transfer. Theidea is to get the tanker as close tothe harbor as possible to reducethe chance of a spill.

There has been lots of anxiouswaiting since the ship left Russiain mid-December. It picked updiesel fuel in South Korea beforetraveling to Dutch Harbor, Alaska,where it took on unleaded gaso-line.

A Coast Guard icebreakerescorted the tanker through theBering Sea pack ice, the two ves-sels at times barely crawling alongas officials looked for new tech-niques to get the tanker free ofshifting ice.

Late Thursday, the CoastGuard Cutter Healy and theRenda stopped six miles offshoreto wait for daylight and figure outhow to get the tanker within abouta mile of the harbor so its hose willreach the dock.

Nome Mayor Denise Michelssat in her car Friday morning inrecord-breaking low temperaturesand gazed past the harborentrance. Her eyes focused on thelights coming from the tanker andthe icebreaker just before dawn.

“It is right out there. You cansee it,” she said. “We are prettyexcited.”

The Coast Guard icebreakerbegan moving again late Fridaymorning, said University of AlaskaFairbanks researcher GregWalker, who is in Nome providinginformation about ice conditionsnear the harbor.

A lot remains to be done beforethe fuel transfer can occur,Walkersaid. The tanker needs to get posi-tioned securely in the ice andmoored so it won’t move duringthe process. Crews also need to fin-ish removing large boulders of icein a rubble field and leveling largepressure ridges to create a flat sur-face for the transfer hose.

Once the tanker gets as close asit safely can to the city dock, theice will have to be allowed torefreeze to keep the ship stable.Then, the hose’s segments willhave to be bolted together andinspected before the fuel can beginto flow.

Personnel will walk the entire

length of the hose every 30 min-utes to check it for leaks. Each seg-ment will have its own spill con-tainment area, and extraabsorbent boom will be on hand incase of a spill.

The state is requiring that thefuel transfer be initiated only indaylight hours. The transfer cancontinue in darkness if there isadequate lighting and other safetyconsiderations, said Betty Schorr,industry preparedness programmanager for the AlaskaDepartment of EnvironmentalConservation.

Nome’s northern latitudeleaves it mostly hidden from thesun this time of year,meaning thatafter Friday’s 11:39 a.m. sunrise,there would be just 5 hours and 4minutes of sunlight.

The transfer could be finishedwithin 36 hours if everything goessmoothly, but it could take as longas five days, Schorr said. If suc-cessful, it would mark the firsttime fuel has been delivered by seato aWestern Alaska community inwinter.

A fall storm prevented Nomefrom getting a fuel delivery bybarge in November. Without thetanker delivery, supplies of dieselfuel, gasoline and home heatingfuel Nome are expected to run outin March and April, well before abarge delivery again in lateMay orJune.

Michels said the weather hasbeen extremely cold this winter.The temperature in Nome dippedto 34 degrees below zero Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obamasuggested Friday that sixeconomic governmentagencies be meshed intoone, an election-year ideaintended to halt bureau-cratic nightmares and forceRepublicans to supporthim on one of their ownfavorite issues.

“The government wehave is not the governmentwe need,” Obama told busi-ness owners he’d gatheredat the White House.

In an election year and a

political atmosphere oftighter spending, Obama’smotivation is aboutimproving a giant bureau-cracy, but that is hardly allof it.

To voters sick of dys-function, Obama wants toshow some action towardmaking Washington workbetter. Politically, his planwould allow him to do so byputting the onus onCongress and in particularhis Republican critics inthe House ofRepresentatives and the

Senate, to show why theywould be against the pur-suit of a leaner govern-ment.

Obama asked Congressto give him a kind of reor-ganization power that nopresident has had sinceRonald Reagan, aRepublican icon. It wouldguarantee Obama a vote,within 90 days, on any ideahe should offer to consoli-date agencies, provided theidea would save money andreduce the size of govern-ment.

It would be up to law-makers, therefore, to grantObama this fast-trackauthority and then decidewhether to approve any ofhis specific ideas.

Politically, Obama isseeking advantage on theturf often owned byRepublicans: Smaller gov-ernment. He is attemptingto directly counterRepublican arguments thataccuse him of presidingover the kind of regulation,spending and debt that canundermine the economy: a

dominant theme of thisyear’s debate and one oftencited by his potential re-election rival, RepublicanMitt Romney.

His first target would beto merge six major tradeand commerce agenciesinto a one-stop-shoppingdepartment for Americanbusinesses. The CommerceDepartment would beamong those that wouldcease to exist.

Brendan Buck, aspokesman for RepublicanHouse Speaker John

Boehner said streamlininggovernment was always apotentially good idea butexpressed suspicion aboutwhether the plan byObama would really helpbusiness. Don Stewart,spokesman for SenateMinority Leader MitchMcConnell of Kentucky,pledged Obama’s planwould get a careful review.

But he added: “It’s inter-esting to see the presidentfinally acknowledge thatWashington is out of con-trol.”

Obama takes on big government: ‘It has to change’

Miami East starter BradleyCoomes was forced to head backto the locker room when herolled his ankle in the thirdquarter.Then entered Luke Clark.What was a 28-23 Miami East

lead over Tri-Village quicklyturned into a 41-31 lead by theend of the third, as Clark provid-ed the spark the Vikings needed,

scoring all seven of his points inthe third to help East come awaywith a 54-46 victory betweenCross County Conferenceunbeatens in Casstown onFriday.During that stretch, the

Vikings outscored the Patriots13-8, with Clark and A.J.Hickman combining for 13 out of15 East points in the quarter.Tri-Village never got withinseven points the rest of the

game.“Bradley rolled his ankle and

had to go back to the lockerroom,” Miami East coach AllenMack said. “During that time,not only did we maintain, but wewere able to push that lead.“Luke Clark continued to

show his ability to come off thebench with some key points. Hehad five points in that keystretch, almost right back-to-back. I thought A.J. Hickmancame up with some big buckets.He played some big minutes for

a freshman.“We had a good run there and

got it up to a little safer of a mar-gin.”In typical East fashion, the

Vikings won with solid defenseand a balanced offensive effort.Gunner Shirk paced the teamwith 13 points, Coomes re-entered the game and finishedwith 10, Josh Snyder had eight,Garrett Mitchell and Hickmaneach added seven.

Cleveland still in the market for a big batCLEVELAND (AP)—As

the swirling snow piled upFriday inside ProgressiveField, which was being pre-pared for an outdoor collegehockey game, Indians gener-al manager Chris Antonettifinished lunch and pondereddessert.He opted for just coffee.The only treat Antonetti

craves is a hitter.Cleveland’s search for a

middle-of-the-order bat thiswinter Manny Ramirez isnot an option has beenstalled by a market waitingfor Prince Fielder to decidewhere he wants to play.Once Fielder, the top avail-able remaining free agentmakes his choice, theIndians will be in position tosign one of the next tier offirst basemen, a group thatincludes Carlos Pena, Casey

Kotchman and Derrek Lee,to fill their biggest need.Antonetti said there have

been points during the off-season where the Indianshave been “one phone callaway from potentially exe-cuting a deal for a free agentor a trade.”Are they still that close?“Uh,” Antonetti said with

a considerable pause.“Maybe from getting the

parameters of something inplace, but I don’t feel likewith the next phone call wewould have something toannounce this afternoon.”That could change once

Fielder signs.The Indians don’t have

the millions to compete forFielder, who for weeks hasbeen reportedly near a dealwith Washington. However,they can fight for Pena,

Kotchman or Lee, all ofwhom would be upgradesfollowing a season in whichMatt LaPorta failed todevelop into the playerCleveland hoped he’d bewhen they traded CCSabathia to Milwaukee forhim and Michael Brantleyin 2008.Antonetti, who refused to

discuss specific players he istargeting, was asked if Pena

would fit within Cleveland’sbudget restrictions set byowners Larry and PaulDolan.“Do you know what

Carlos Pena’s budget isbecause I would like toknow?” Antonetti said,laughing. “We have someflexibility. It’s not unending,but we have some flexibilityto continue to improve theteam.”

Texans, Ravensmake a run atglory in playoffsBALTIMORE (AP) —

The Baltimore Ravens andHouston Texans are quitecontent to run against thegrain in the pass-happyNFL.Baltimore relies heavily

on running back Ray Riceand a stingy defensive unitled by Pro Bowl linebackersRay Lewis and TerrellSuggs. Houston depends onthe rushing prowess ofArian Foster and the NFL’ssecond-ranked defense.Neither team intends to

alter that approach inSunday’s playoff game, sothe one that stays true toform the longest likely willadvance to the AFC cham-pionship game.The Ravens (12-4)

respect rookie quarterbackT.J. Yates and the break-away speed of wide receiverAndre Johnson, but theyfigure their best chance towin is to bottle up Fosterand force the Texans tothrow.“The objective, first and

foremost, is to stop the run.You can’t let him get going,”Baltimore defensive endCory Redding said. “Andthen No. 2, get guys on No.80 (Johnson). Then No. 3,get after Yates, period. Youhave to stop the run, controlthe pass and get after thepasser. That’s the formulafor winning every singleweek. That’s been our for-mula fromWeek One, and ithasn’t changed.”When Houston (11-6)

came to Baltimore onOct. 6,the Ravens limited Fosterto 49 yards on 15 carries ina 29-14 victory. But Fosterrambled for 153 yards andtwo touchdowns in a 31-10rout of Cincinnati lastweek, leaving little mystery

as to what theTexans’ gameplan will be on Sunday.“We’ve got to see how the

game goes, but I know thatwe need to stay committedto running the football,”coach Gary Kubiak said.“Hey, we’re going to have torun the ball effectively towin this football game. Weknow that. We know it willbe a difficult task, but we’repreparing to go do it.”The Ravens have never

allowed a runner to amass100 yards on the ground ina playoff game, and theyhave every intention ofkeeping that mark intact.“Our focus is, No. 1,

we’ve got to stop the run,”defensive coordinatorChuck Pagano said. “Theirwhole idea is to get third-and-manageable. There area lot of third-and-2s, 3s, 4sand 5s, and then it puts thepressure back on thedefense. You’re a little bitleery of coming after themin those situations becauseof the run and the pass. Soif we do a great job on firstand second down and getthem in third-and-long,we’ll be able to dial somethings up.”The last thing Yates

needs is to be dropping backin the pocket with theBaltimore defense lookingfor him to throw.“They’ve seen it all.

They’ve been through it all,”Yates said. “We know thatthey’re going to do things totry to trick us and kind ofcatch us off guard, so wehave to do things to coun-teract that. We’ve beendoing different things allweek long to give us thebest chance against anexperienced defense likethat.”

OSU banned from bowl but still gets moneyCOLUMBUS (AP) —

Ohio State won’t be put-ting any money into theBig Ten’s bowl bankaccount in 2012. It will bewithdrawing around$400,000.Despite being banned

from playing in a bowlgame due to NCAA viola-tions, there is nothingwhich prevents Ohio Statefrom collecting the sameamount that Michigan,Wisconsin and other BigTen schools receive, confer-ence officials said.“I can’t speak on behalf

of our members, but it’d bethe same as if Ohio Stateor any of our schools fin-ished 5-7 this year andwere not eligible to play ina bowl game because of

their competitive record,”Big Ten deputy commis-sioner Brad Traviola saidFriday.He added that the divi-

sion of funds from the con-ference’s bowl pool “are notdependent on who all isplaying.”Ohio State Athletic

Director Gene Smithdeclined comment.Conference schools put

all money over and abovetheir bowl travel costs andexpenses into a pool, witheach of the Big Ten’s long-time members receiving anequal share.The Big Ten office

receives 5 percent of thenet proceeds, andNebraska, the 12th andnewest member of the con-

ference, does not receive afull share yet until it hasmet an integration con-tract it signed in order tojoin the Big Ten in 2011.There is no conference

rule which prevents teamson NCAA probation orbanned from bowl gamesfrom receiving their shareof the bowl money.“The Big Ten currently

has no policy or precedentset in regards to financialpenalties on conferencebowl revenue,” Big Tenspokesman Scott Chipmansaid in an email to TheAssociated Press. “So atthis time, all bowl rev-enues will be distributedequally, as in the past.”Traviola estimated that

each Big Ten school will

receive about the same forthe 2011 bowls as they didbefore just under$400,000.The NCAA penalized

Ohio State last month forbreaking rules under for-mer coach Jim Tressel. Thepenalties included a bowlban this year, three yearsof probation and forfeitingits $389,000 share of theBig Ten bowl pot a yearago.The NCAA spent much

of last year investigating aseries of violations at OhioState. Tressel was forced toresign for not reporting tohis superiors that severalof his players had mostlikely taken cash and dis-counted tattoos from thefocal point of a federal

drug-trafficking probe. Theplayers were suspended atthe start of the 2011 sea-son, and Tressel wasreplaced by interim coachLuke Fickell.Ohio State subsequent-

ly discovered that a boost-er had paid three players$200 to attend a charityevent early last year, andthat he had paid severalplayers too much for doingtoo little at their summerjobs.On Dec. 20, 2011, the

NCAA issued its finalsanctions against OhioState. In addition to thebowl ban, forfeiting itsshare of bowl money andprobation, the Buckeyeswere handed a reduction innine football scholarships

over three years, the 2010season (with a 12-1 recordand Sugar Bowl victory)was vacated, the schoolbanned the booster fromcontact with athletes andTressel was given a five-year show-cause orderwhich effectively preventshim from coaching at anyNCAA institution.The Buckeyes are com-

ing off a 6-7 season, theirfirst losing record since1988. Urban Meyer washired as the new coach inlate November.Ohio State had played

in a bowl game every yearsince 1988, bringing moneyinto the coffers of otherschools even when theyhad a losing record and didnot play in bowl games.

No proven formulaGREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)

— All-Pro defensive endJason Pierre-Paul thinksthe New York Giants aregoing to beat the GreenBay Packers in Sunday’sdivisional playoff game atLambeau Field.And if they do, Pierre-

Paul likely will be in themiddle of it all.While there is no

proven formula for stop-ping Aaron Rodgers andthe Packers offense, get-ting pass rush pressurewithout blitzing and drop-ping more players intocoverage would be a goodstart. So a big day byPierre-Paul and his fellowdefensive linemen couldgo a long way toward help-ing the Giants knock offthe Super Bowl champs.Facing one of the best

defensive lines in thegame, Rodgers said he stillneeds to be patient and gothrough his progressionsto a point.“You have to know that

they’ve got the ability toget to the passer,” Rodgerssaid. “It starts with pro-tection any week, regard-less of who we’re playing.This week it’s a toughfront. Those guys arerelentless in getting to thepasser, they’re playingreally well as a whole.There hasn’t been thoseoccasional holes that wesaw a few weeks ago whenwe played them, we kindof hit them when theydropped a couple cover-ages. There hasn’t beenthose kinds of mistakes intheir defense.“They’ve been playing

really sound together andit’s going to be a chal-lenge.”The Packers faced a dif-

ferent kind of challengethis week.The team has been

mourning the death ofMichael Philbin, the 21-year-old son of offensivecoordinator Joe Philbin.Michael Philbin’s bodywas pulled out of an icyriver in Oshkosh onMonday, and police said apreliminary autopsy indi-cated he drowned. Severalplayers and coachesattended his funeralFriday.Philbin was away from

the team and with hisfamily this week, and therest of the Packers’ offen-sive assistants divided up

his responsibilities.Accounting for the Giants’deep, talented defensiveline certainly played aprominent role in theirgame plan.“They’re as fine a group

of seven that you’re goingto face,” offensive linecoach James Campensaid.That didn’t seem to

bother the Packers intheir Dec. 4 victory at NewYork. Rodgers threw for369 yards and four touch-downs while being inter-cepted once and sackedtwice.“I mean, he’s kind of

like Houdini out there alittle bit, he avoids passrushes, he avoids that ini-tial surge,” Giants defen-sive tackle Chris Cantysaid. “He can get out of thepocket and make playsdownfield with his widereceivers, or he can extendit, he can run the footballwith his legs, he’s atremendous runner in hisown right. You just have tobe very disciplined whenyou’re rushing.”New York’s defense did-

n’t put up much of a fightwhen it really counted inthat Dec. 4 game, whenRodgers quickly drove the

Packers to a winning fieldgoal at the end.But Osi Umenyiora

didn’t play that daybecause of an ankle injury,and he has three sacks intwo games since hereturned. Is he the mainreason the Giants’ defenseis playing to its potential?“They were playing bet-

ter when I wasn’t there soI can’t attribute that suc-cess to me,” Umenyiorasaid. “I think, for somereason, everything is com-ing together at the righttime now.”Pierre-Paul showed his

confidence after theGiants beat Atlanta onSunday, attracting atten-tion all this week foressentially guaranteeing avictory over the Packers.He backed down later inthe week, but only slightly.“I think we are going to

go out there and win,” hesaid.Having given up 38

points to the Packers theirlast time out, the Giantsare turning to KansasCity for a winning formu-la. The Chiefs dealt thePackers their only loss ofthe season Dec. 18, sack-ing Rodgers four times ina 19-14 victory.

“The Chiefs did a greatjob of being physical,”Canty said. “They tried toslow the game down asmuch as possible and con-tain Rodgers in the pocketas much as possible. Rushhim as a group with theirfront four, they rushedhim as a group.”For the Packers on

Sunday, the biggestunknown will be veteranleft tackle Chad Clifton,who played 25 snaps inthe regular-season finaleagainst Detroit. Beforethat, Clifton had been outsince Oct. 9, when heinjured his hamstring andsubsequently hurt hisback during the rehabili-tation process.Packers coach Mike

McCarthy immediatelygave Clifton his startingjob back for the playoffsbut then made it fairlyclear that if Clifton under-performs, he’d be replacedby capable backupMarshall Newhouse.Clifton did not practice

Friday, but McCarthy saidhe was on the same restschedule he would be onduring a typical gameweek.“He looks ready to go,”

McCarthy said.

Vikings“It’s almost been typical

how we spread it around,”Mack said. “The last threegames, we’ve kind of addedone more with Luke Clarkbeing able to provide someoffensive contributions offthe bench.”Mack’s defensive game-

plan didn’t lack variety, asthe Vikings showcased thefull arsenal on Friday. Eaststarted in a box-and-one onTri-Village’s Kyle Pipengerbefore mixing back-and-

forth between half-court andfull-court pressure. Theresult was six forcedturnovers, and a 16-13 leadafter one quarter of play.Shirk had three steals in

the first quarter alone,which resulted in four pointsfor him.Tri-Village tied the game

at 18-18 early in the second.But Coomes decided to takematters into his own hands,igniting the East offensewhen it needed him themost.

Coomes was fouled on amade layup coming out oftimeout to give East a 21-18advantage. Then Shirkgrabbed a defensiverebound and took it coast-to-coast for a layup while beingfouled in the process to putthe Vikings up 24-18.Coomes scored once morebefore the second ended,taking it inside and hitting ajumper with just over a sec-ond to play in the second.The Vikings went into thelocker room with a 26-20

lead.“I felt like we really start-

ed to get an edge on the lasttwo possessions (of the firsthalf),” Mack said. “Coomeshit that last shot of the half,and it went from 21-20 to26-20.”The win puts East in the

driver’s seat to repeat asCCC champions, but Mackdoesn’t expect the road to beeasy.“They have athleticism

and an ability to shoot out-side,” Mack said. “They have

some good bigs on the inside.It’s a good win for us to beatTri-Village.They were unde-feated in the league comingin. This doesn’t seal any-thing — it gets us one wincloser from our goal of theconference championship.“From here on out, each

as 15-14, but May spuninto the lane and hit atough shot with twodefenders in his face, thenJordan Price stole a hand-off at the point and coastedfor a layup on the break tomake it a three-point edge.Martinez then pickedanother Piqua pocket,sneaking up behind anIndian guard, swiping theball and taking it in for alayup to make it 20-15.Piqua cut the lead back

to two, but Martinez foundMay open for 3 to make it afive-point lead, Zack Rohrhit a pair of free throws —and then the Indians werecalled for a technical foul.May hit one of the freethrows and Miller sanktwo 3s in a row to make it32-19 … and Troy neverlooked back.Miller finished with a

game-high 17 points andfive rebounds. May andMartinez both played com-plete games, with May pil-ing up 16 points, sixrebounds, three assists andthree blocks and Martinezscoring 15 points — sevenin the third quarter to helpTroy maintain its edge —and grabbing six rebounds,three assists and foursteals.Troy’s bench edged

Piqua’s in scoring 11-9, butthe Trojan backups outre-bounded the Indians’ 8-3,helping Troy grab a slim30-28 advantage on theboards.“It was nice to see Tyler

Miller get back and have agreat game,” Miller said.“And we got great support

from our bench. Everyonestepped up and contributedone way or another.”But Piqua’s offense still

found ways to hurt Troy’sdefense — mostly from theline.TaylorWellbaum led the

Indians with 16 points,scoring nine in the firsthalf — with seven of thosecoming from the line. RyanHughes added 10 pointsand 12 rebounds andKindric Link had ninepoints and seven rebounds.“We played in spells at

times,” Miller said. “We’dquit guarding for a few pos-sessions and get into foul-ing situations. We had toswitch to a zone in the sec-ond quarter because of it.We had a little talk abouthow to play defense withour feet and to quit reach-ing.“That calls our condi-

tioning into question a lit-tle bit. But a week like this(three games) can compro-mise your conditioning. Wemay have to get some extrarunning in next week.”Troy plays its third

game this week today, par-ticipating in the Flyin’ tothe Hoop tournament atFairmont’s Trent Arena.The Trojans take onHamilton Southeastern

Crosby skates, still recoveringSUNRISE, Fla. (AP) —

Pittsburgh Penguins starSidney Crosby skatedFriday for the first time inmore than a month, and histeammates left little doubtthey’re behind their captainas he continues to recoverfrom a recurrence of concus-sion-like symptoms.The Penguins taped a “C”

on each of their practice jer-seys in tribute to Crosby,who hasn’t played since Dec.5 after the symptoms thatkept him sidelined for near-ly a year returned.Crosby joined the rest of

the team on the ice for thefinal 30 minutes of a morn-ing skate before Fridaynight’s game against theFlorida Panthers, shooting afew pucks and making a fewpasses.While Crosby called his

return a “positive,” he’s stilluncertain when he’ll becleared to practice, let aloneplay.“The symptoms are get-

ting a lot better, but I would-n’t say (I’m) symptom free,”Crosby said.The 24-year-old Crosby

suffered similar symptoms

last January and missedmore than 10 months. Hereturned in spectacularfashion on Nov. 21, scoring apair of goals against theNew York Islanders. He tal-lied 12 points in eight gamesbefore the symptomsreturned after a 3-1 loss toBoston.The Penguins have

struggled to find the netwithout their captain, man-aging just six goals duringtheir current six-game los-ing streak, a slide that’sdropped a team considered aStanley Cup contender two

months ago into the bottomhalf of the EasternConference.Doctors have cleared

Crosby for “light exertion,”and he was clearly out ofbreath when he addressedreporters shortly after leav-ing the ice. While acknowl-edging skating is “betterthan being on a bike” thereare restraints on what hecan do.Crosby admitted to hav-

ing dizziness and balanceproblems, though the biggerissue remains how his bodyreacts when he’s moving.
