Area superintendents discuss possibility of later school start

By Eric Morris

rea administrators expressed support for a proposed bill that calls for a study on the effects of later starting times to the school day in public high schools.

Legislation introduced last month in the state House of Representatives would require the state Department of Education to examine the pros and cons of instituting a later start to the school day.

The proposed study would assess the health, academic and safety benefits associated with later start times, as well as evaluate potential negative impacts on school districts and families.

House Bill 1912, sponsored by Rep. Alex Charlton (R-Delaware County), cites recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics to move start times for middle and high schools to 8:30 a.m. or later to allow students to receive the recommended amount of sleep.

The overwhelming majority of high schools and

middle schools in the U.S. start before that time, according to a 2014 survey.

California Area High School begins classes at 7:45 a.m., operating on a schedule that has remained the same for years, said district Superintendent Michael Sears.

“That’s not to say you can’t reevaluate the start times for the secondary and elementary students and determine if there is a more optimal time to start school for those age groups,” said Sears.

In a memo released prior to the introduction of the bill, Charlton cited research from several health organizations that states adolescents who do not get enough sleep are more likely to suffer from physical and mental health problems, are at an increased risk of being involved in an automobile accident and are more likely to decline in academic performance.

Administrators said a change in start times could lead to more alert students and less truancy in their districts.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jubilant Republicans pushed on Tuesday to the verge of the most sweeping rewrite of the nation’s tax laws in more than three decades, a deeply unpopular bill they insist Americans will learn to love when they see their paychecks in the new year.

President Donald Trump cheered the lawmakers on, eager to claim his first major legislative accomplishment.

If you’ve ever thought dinner along the Youghiogheny River in a local venue would be a neat experience, that will soon be a reality.

At their meeting this week, the Connellsville Redevelopment Authority approved the sale of two lots beside the Cobblestone Hotel along the river to Cellurale Restaurants LLC for a total of $15,000.

Michael Edwards said Cellurale’s proposal showed a $600,000 to $800,000 investment in building a restaurant that would have about 60 employees, with a quarter of them being salaried or full time.

Mayor Greg Lincoln said he, Edwards and City Clerk Vern Ohler have been working on the partnership for several months.

White House adviser says NKorea Start behind big ransomware attack Continued from A1

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday publicly blamed North Korea for a “careless and reckless” ransomware attack that infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide in May and crippled parts of Britain’s National Health Service.

Homeland security adviser Tom Bossert told reporters at a White House briefing that North Korea was directly responsible for the WannaCry ransomware attack and that Pyongyang will be held accountable for it.

“This was a careless and reckless attack. It affected individuals, industry, governments and the consequences were beyond economic. The computers affected badly in the U.K. in their health care system put lives at risk, not just money,” Bossert said.

Bossert said the administration’s finding of responsibility is based on evidence and confirmed by other private companies and foreign governments, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. He said Microsoft traced the attack to cyber affiliates of the North Korean government.

The findings come as the U.S. has sought to pressure Kim Jong Un’s government to end the pariah nation’s nuclear and missile programs.

“North Korea has acted especially badly, largely

Associated Press

White House Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert speaks during a briefing blaming North Korea for a ransomware attack that infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide in May and crippled parts of Britain’s National Health Service, at the White House Tuesday in Washington.

unchecked, for more than a decade ... its malicious behavior is growing more egregious. And stopping that malicious behavior starts with this step of accountability,” he said.

Bossert said the Trump administration would continue to push Pyongyang to curb its ability to mount attacks and seek to partner with the private sector to prevent future attacks.

But he said Trump “has used just about every lever you can use short of starving the North Korean people to death to change their behavior. So we don’t have a lot of room left here to apply pressure to change their behavior.

It’s nevertheless important to call them out,

let them know it’s them and we know it’s them.”

Bossert said attributing the attack to North Korea would let them know “we’re going to move to stop their behavior” and work with tech partners such as Microsoft and Facebook. “This is allowing us to call upon all likeminded and good, responsible companies to stop supporting North Korean hackers whether they’re operating in North Korea or elsewhere,” Bossert said.

The WannaCry attack struck more than 150 nations in May, locking up digital documents, databases and other files and demanding a ransom for their release.

It battered Britain’s

National Health Service, where the cyberattack froze computers at hospitals across the country, closing emergency rooms and bringing medical treatment to a halt. Government offices in Russia, Spain, and several other countries were disrupted, as were Asian universities, Germany’s national railway and global companies such as automakers Nissan and Renault.

The WannaCry ransomware exploited a vulnerability in mostly older versions of Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Affected computers had generally not been patched with security fixes that would have blocked the attack.

every American taxpayer and every corner of the U.S. economy, providing steep tax cuts for businesses and the wealthy, and more modest help for middle- and low-income families. Despite Republican talk of spending discipline, the bill will push the huge national debt ever higher.

After the delay for a second House vote, the measure then heads to Trump who is aching for a win after 11 months of legislative failures and non-starters. The president tweeted his congratulations to GOP leaders and “all great House Republicans who voted in favor of cutting your taxes!”

Congressional Republicans, who faltered badly in trying to dismantle Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, see passage of the tax bill as crucial to proving to Americans they can govern — and imperative for holding onto House and Senate majorities in next year’s midterm elections.

They have repeatedly argued the bill will spur

economic growth as corporations, flush with cash, increase wages and hire more workers. But they acknowledge they have work to do in convincing everyday Americans.

Many voters in surveys see the legislation as a boost to the wealthy, such as Trump and his family, and a minor gain at best for the middle class.

“I don’t think we’ve done a good job messaging,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. “Now, you’re able to look at the final product.”

Ryan was positive, even insistent. He declared, “Results are what’s going to make this popular.”

Democrats called the bill a giveaway to corporations and the wealthy, with no likelihood that business owners will use their gains to hire more workers or raise wages.

And they mocked the Republicans’ contention that the bill will make taxes so simple that millions can file their returns “on a postcard” — an idea repeated often by the president.

“What happened to the postcard? We’re going

to have to carry around a billboard for tax simplification,” declared Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee.

Tax cuts for corporations would be permanent while the cuts for individuals would expire in 2026 in order to comply with Senate budget rules.

The tax cuts would take effect in January, and workers would start to see changes in the amount of taxes withheld from their paychecks in February.

For now, Democrats are planning to use the bill in their campaigns next year. Senate Democrats posted poll numbers on the bill on a video screen at their Tuesday luncheon.

“This bill will come back to haunt them, as Frankenstein did,” said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

The bill would slash the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The top tax rate for individuals would be lowered from 39.6 percent to 37 percent.

Cellurale Restaurants also owns the recently opened Marilyn’s on Main in Uniontown.

toward the goal of revamping the tax code, gleefully pounded the gavel on the final House vote, but then it turned out it wasn’t final after all.

The Senate was expected to pass the legislation Tuesday night and send it on to Trump for his signature. But the Democrats noted that three provisions violated Senate rules. So the massive bill will be hauled back across the Capitol for the House to re-vote on Wednesday.

GOP House members roared and applauded as their chamber passed the $1.5 trillion package largely along party lines, 227-203. Ryan declared, “This was a promise made. This is a promise kept,” as he and other GOP leaders convened a victory news conference moments later.

Carmichaels Area Superintendent John Menhart said he has noticed a cultural shift in teenagers’ sleeping patterns to stay awake to later hours, and that adjusting start times could benefit them.

“Today’s youth clock has shifted,” he said.

“Early to bed, early to rise has gone by the wayside. I think it would be beneficial to get students in (to school) a little later.”

While superintendents spoke in favor of the proposed study, actual implementation of later start times would pose logistical issues regarding transportation and extracurricular activities, they said.

“It all has to be factored into the equation,” said Sears. “You would have to sit down and look at all the variables.”

Menhart said while research shows benefits to students’ physical health and academic performance from later start times, it would create a scheduling issue for a small district like Carmichaels that relies on two morning bus runs for elementary and high

“The research I’ve seen says it would be beneficial, but from a logistics standpoint, it would be difficult,” Menhart said.

In a large, rural district like Albert Gallatin, buses begin to pick up students at 6 a.m. for a 7:30 start time, said Superintendent Carl Bezjak. Later start times would allow students to get more sleep in the morning, he said, which is needed especially by those who work evening jobs or participate in extracurricular activities.

“Every district is different. You have to look and see what works for you, for the students and for the community,” said Brownsville Area Superintendent Dr. Keith Hartbauer, adding that he likes the idea of later start times based on their purported benefits but echoed other superintendents on the potential transportation and scheduling conflicts that could arise.

“From a health standpoint, from an academic standpoint and the safety of students, this needs to be researched and looked into, but maybe it should go across board for all school districts,” Hartbauer said of the potential implementation of a later start time.

In this June 19, 2015, file, courtroom sketch, David Wright, second from left, is depicted standing before Magistrate Judge Donald Cabell, left, with attorney Jessica Hedges, second from right, and Nicholas Rovinski, right, during a hearing in federal court in Boston.

Man gets 28 years in plot to behead conservative blogger BOSTON (AP) — A man convicted of leading an Islamic State-inspired plot to behead a conservative blogger who upset Muslims when she organized a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest was sentenced Tuesday to 28 years in prison.

David Wright, who’s 28 years old, was sentenced by a judge in Boston’s federal courthouse two months after jurors found him guilty of conspiring with his uncle and a Rhode Island man to kill blogger Pamela Geller on behalf of the terror group.

Wright’s attorneys had asked for a 16-year sentence, saying he should be given the chance to redeem himself after serving his time. Wright insisted he never really wanted to hurt anyone but pretended to support the Islamic State group to get attention online.

Prosecutors and Geller wanted Wright to get life in prison. Prosecutors portrayed Wright as the leader of the conspiracy to kill Geller, who has spearheaded scores of events across the nation to decry

Islamic extremism, such as the cartoon contest in Garland, Texas.

The plot to behead Geller, of New York, was never carried out.

Instead, Wright’s uncle Ussamah Rahim told Wright on a recorded phone call that he decided to go after “those boys in blue,” referring to police.

Wright told his uncle that was “beautiful” and encouraged him to delete all the data from his computer before carrying out his attack.

Hours later, Rahim was fatally shot by authorities after he lunged at them with a knife when they approached him in Boston.

Prosecutors said Wright collected dozens of gruesome Islamic State videos and documents that encouraged violence against Americans, including a manifesto that said America’s days are “numbered.” In court documents, they accused him of trying to “deceive” the court into believing that he never meant any harm.

Wright, who was more than 500 pounds when he

was arrested, testified during the trial that he started sharing Islamic State propaganda because he was desperate for attention and an escape.

But he said the plan to kill Geller was just “trash talk” and claimed he never believed his uncle was serious about attacking police.

The third man charged, Nicholas Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy, testified against Wright and is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday. Prosecutors are seeking 15 years behind bars.

The cartoon contest Geller organized in 2015 ended in gunfire, with two Muslim gunmen shot to death by police.

Geller, who spoke at Wright’s sentencing, urged the judge to sentence him to life in prison, saying it was “impossible to overstate the devastation” he had brought to her life. She said she had been forced to live in fear and spend tens of thousands of dollars on security.

Legislators paid nearly $250K to settle sex misconduct claim HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Two newspapers are reporting that Pennsylvania House Democrats paid out nearly a quarter-million in taxpayer dollars to settle a sex harassment claim against a long-time state representative.

The Philadelphia Inquirer and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday a 2015 payment settled an employee’s complaint against Rep. Thomas Caltagirone of Berks County. He’s been in the Legislature for 40 years.

The newspapers cited

a document prepared by the state’s Bureau of Risk and Insurance Management. It says House Democrats authorized paying $165,500 to the unidentified woman and $82,500 to her lawyer.

Top House Democrats, the 75-year-old lawmaker and the woman’s lawyer didn’t return telephone calls seeking comment.

House Democrats confirmed last month they paid $30,000 in 2013 to end a sexual harassment lawsuit by a former employee against former Rep. Jewell Williams, now Philadelphia’s sheriff.

Newspeak

HHS prohibition of certain words, terms not reassuring

Words are power. Whether used to twist or reveal, language matters, especially that used by the people who govern a nation devoted to free speech. This is why it was such a shock to hear the Department of Health and Human Services instruct some of its divisions, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to avoid using certain words or phrases in official documents being drafted for next year’s budget. It sounds like thought police at work.

If that judgment seems harsh, consider what happens in China, where thought police really exist. China routinely censors articles containing politically sensitive words such as “Taiwan,” “Tibet” and “cultural revolution” from publications because it does not want its people to think about them. Writing about democracy could lead to trouble in Belarus, Cuba or Vietnam, too. In Russia, words that refer to gays positively can trigger a penalty. In Saudi Arabia, a blogger, Raif Badawi, sits in jail for his online appeal for a more liberal and secular society.

It is not a far stretch from these examples of misguided censorship abroad to the actions of the HHS language militia. According to Post reporters Lena H. Sun and Juliet Eilperin, policy types at the CDC in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden terms at a meeting Dec. 14 during a 90-minute briefing to discuss the upcoming budget request. The terms prohibited to use are: “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.” They also reported that in some cases, the policy folks were given alternatives; instead of “science-based” or “evidencebased,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.” But in other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.

The CDC’s new director, Brenda Fitzgerald, replied that “there are no banned words at CDC.” That’s a relief, given the agency’s mission, which includes acting as sentinel for public health, warning of threats and responding rapidly to meet them. But Fitzgerald’s assurance does not ease concerns that higher-ups at HHS are insisting on banned words to enforce a political and ideological agenda. Why would they eliminate “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity” and “transgender” in a budget document other than to airbrush the ideas out of the underlying policy?

Just as distressing is the attempt to limit the use of “evidence-based” and “science-based.” Unfettered scientific research is vital for maintaining public health, even when the results are unpopular with some communities and points of view. Being able to talk about science is absolutely critical in, say, understanding the value of childhood vaccination in preventing the spread of measles. “Fetus” is a scientific word essential to exploring the impact of the Zika virus on the health of infants and pregnant women. And can there be an honest discussion of the health effects of climate change without science and evidence? Does anyone gain by hiding the truth these words express?

No. Someone should tell the foolish thought police at HHS to stand down.

Week’s Question

Do you put up a live or artificial Christmas tree? r r r

Live — 54 Artificial — 164 Don’t put up a tree — 43

Visit our website to give your answer

Remember nursing home patients at Christmas At this festive time of year, it is good to remember those who will probably never again personally experience “city sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style.”

Individuals who are fortunate enough not to have close relatives in nursing homes may feel that they have “dodged a bullet” and can unashamedly concentrate on “me me me”; but visiting my mother-in-law at the nursing home over the last two years has humbled me and opened my eyes to opportunities for compassion.

Even if you don’t have blood relatives or in-laws who are shut-ins, you owe it to yourself to check out the patient directory at the nearest facility. You may find the sixth-grade teacher who helped you choose your mission in life, the kindly neighbor who gave you shelter those times you accidentally locked yourself out of your house, the coach who taught you the value of persistence, the beloved aunt of your childhood sweetheart...

I realize that nursing homes are outside the comfort zone

Danny Tyree of many of us (“The smells!

The moaning! The bodies that would no longer make the cover of ‘GQ’ or ‘Sports Illustrated’!”); but most of those patients went outside their own comfort zones many times ‒ leaving familiar surroundings to find a good job, traveling halfway around the world to fight for freedom, raising stepchildren who clung to memories of their “real” father/mother, marching for civil rights, etc.

The Christ child we celebrate at Christmas certainly came outside his comfort zone. He left the right hand of God, endured the aches and sorrows of the Human

Condition and was mocked and crucified. He set a high standard for us.

We cheat ourselves when we let our hectic schedules push nursing home visits way down our priority list. We rush home to watch a History Channel documentary when we COULD learn about the Great Depression or the Korean War or the Apollo program from someone who was there. We make a mad dash to the bookstore to grab the latest romance novel instead of listening to a real live senior citizen reminisce about the person who was the light of their life for 50 years.

Opportunities abound.

True, some patients are staying for only six weeks of therapy after a knee replacement; but words of encouragement can speed their healing. Some patients are in the latter stages of dementia, but a smile or a kind word does not go unnoticed by our Father in heaven. Nurses and other staffers can always use a heartfelt “thank you.”

Certainly, the patients who suffer from glaucoma or osteoporosis or confinement to a wheelchair but who remain

mentally alert are in need of reassurance, to handle the monotony, loneliness and challenges to their dignity.

Even patients who have doting relatives will appreciate an extra visit.

Giving the gift of time to someone who can’t repay you in material things can be so much more rewarding than the obligatory ritual of handing a $20 Taco Bell gift card to the co-worker whom you know will reciprocate with a $20 Olive Garden gift card.

Nothing about this column is intended to limit your kindness to the holiday season. Trees and ornaments may be packed away, but the emotional needs remain.

I hope the holidays start you on a year-round program of tending to the vulnerable.

It is a two-way gift that keeps on giving.

Letters Christmas tale recounted This time of year brings back many memories. My best one happened in 1969. I have had quite a few over the years, but let me start with my best memory.

In July of ’69 I returned to the states.

I was stationed at Blytheville AFB, Arkansas. In September I re-upped and was sent to Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, TDY for school.

Needless to say that quite a bit of fun was had from September to November that year. Oh, yes, I did learn a bit about a missile that was carried on B-52’s.

Now that I have the start point, let us continue with my best Christmas ever.

It was Dec. 23 and I was about to head home for the first time in four years for Christmas. Now, not to make the trip home alone I had met a nurse at Barksdale AFB who was from New York City and hadn’t been home in some time also. It took a little planning but she would fly into Memphis, Tennessee, and I would meet her there and we would start our journey to the north.

The trip started rather mundane, and then the snow started. It was nice snow at first but by the time we hit St. Louis and headed east on I-70, the little dainty snow had turned into a howling blizzard.

It was about 1 a.m. when Jo Ann and I spotted a Marine hitchhiking in the beams of our headlights. There he was in a summer weight uniform in the middle of a snowstorm on I-70 with his thumb out.

I stopped as any GI would do for another and asked him if he knew how to drive a stick shift. (You must understand I had been awake for about 24 hours.) Yes, he did and we started on our way to Effingham Illinois.

I must say that I-70 was sort of open one lane in each direction. We were wondering why he would be dressed in a summer weight uniform in December?

Well, Johnny (I can’t remember his name for sure) had just flown in from

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to surprise his family for Christmas. We followed a snow plow for miles on end.

Well, we got to the exit for Effingham and proceeded down the snow-packed streets until we came to a nice home. It was about 4 a.m. when we arrived at the front door. Now we decided that Johnny should go first, since it was his home.

Well, he rang the door bell several times, then a light came on and a voice rang out, “Johnny is home!” Boy, then all the lights came on, and you never saw so many brothers and sisters come out of the woodwork. Mom made us breakfast and we sat down at a picnic table and there still wasn’t room for everyone.

Yes, that was my best Christmas ever.

We did make it to Grindstone, and Jo Ann met my family. My grandfather liked her. Then my dad and I took her to the airport in Pittsburgh so that she could spend Christmas at home. (Did I mention she was Jewish?)

As we left the airport I closed my eyes on Christmas Eve and slept the final leg to my home.

A few days ago I wrote about my best memory of Christmas. After I sent it to Uniontown paper I figured why not send it to the newspaper in Effingham, Ill. I thought, what a trip if that Marine would still be there.

It was too long for a letter to the editor so I sent it to the editor and asked him if he would print it. Well, he did under the title “The Marine hitchhiking home in a blizzard for Christmas 1969.”

Well, the editor added the words that should “Johnny” or someone from his family please contact the paper.

Well after a few day’s I got a call from that editor. Bill’s sister had called in to the paper and gave him her brother’s phone number. It seems Johnny in my story was really Bill! He now lived in Edwardsville not far from were we picked him up 47 years ago. He was one of 13 children.

The editor asked me why that stuck in my mind. I guess when we were on the

front porch and Bill rang the doorbell and a light came on and then we heard, “Its Bill!” and then all the lights came on and kids started coming out of the woodwork. That is why it was my best.

This evening I called Bill. And he added some personal touches to the story that only he would know.

He remembers standing along I-70 with the snow swirling all round him and freezing when I stopped and gave him a lift.

After all these years we swapped stories and traded emails. Almost 50 years had passed, and two old men remember the events of a single Christmas so long ago with such clarity.

It is truly a special time of year.

Col. George Kovach Sterling, Va. (Formally of Grindstone)

Elected officials employees Leaders come in various stripes.

Some lead by example. They’re followed, like a Jesus Christ, because they have qualities worth emulating.

Others lead by command, like employers do, and they’re obeyed because they pay our wages. Still others, like elected officials, lead by misrepresentation and we comply because of mistaken identity.

Elected officials may believe they’re supposed to be leaders, and we may believe they’re supposed to be leaders, and they may indeed be the leaders of somebody, but they’re not supposed to be the leaders of us. We hire elected officials through the voting booth and pay them with our tax money, which makes elected officials our employees, which makes us their employers, which makes us the leaders of them, which means we should be commanding their obedience, but we don’t and we won’t as long as we let them continue to make believe they’re supposed to be our leaders.

Snowfall has billion-dollar effect on business, Olympians ©2017 AccuWeather, Inc.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — It’s no stretch to say that snow is the key to success for Jon Lillis.

The reigning world champion in aerials skiing is also a restaurant owner in Park City, and business at his hotpot eatery increases by more than 100 percent when nearby ski resorts are open.

So, when winters grow warmer and ski season starts later — Park City, and Vail in Colorado are among the Western resorts to push back openings by about a week in each of the last two years — not only

does it affect Lillis’ ability to train and, as is the case this year, prepare for the Winter Olympics, it also affects the bottom line at his business.

“We expect to do 70 percent of our annual revenue while the ski resorts are open,” Lillis said.

“So, the longer they’re not open, and it seems to be getting later and later every year, the window where we’re making all that money gets smaller.

In ski towns, it’s the tourism market that keeps business alive.”

A study commissioned

by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the athletes’ group Protect Our Winters found that the 23 million people who participate in winter sports added an estimated $12.2 billion each year to the U.S. economy; restaurants and bars contribute about 31,600 jobs and $942 million in economic value.

But as ski seasons grow shorter, all those numbers have declined — about $1.07 billion gone between 1999 and 2010 — and bad ski years take a significant toll on most every business in a ski town such as Park

City, Vail or Snowmass. In Colorado, the NRDC found that “low-snow” winters caused an 8 percent decline in skier visits, which resulted in a $154 million decrease in revenue.

Under a worst-casescenario, where winter temperatures increase 4 to 10 degrees by the end of the century, the NRDC predicts snow depths in the American West could decline between 25 to 100 percent, and the length of the snow season in the Northeast could be cut in half. One troubling sign this season: A

late-autumn warm spell across the country left only 3.5 percent of the 48 contiguous states with snow cover on Nov. 26, the lowest that figure has been since record-keeping

began in 2003.

“If ski resorts can’t stay open for a certain number of days per year, then there’s a chance the skiing sport won’t be around in 20 years,” Lillis said.

Nya Adams and Taylor Mendicino each scored 16 points to pace Ringgold (3-3, 1-0) with Adams adding eight assists.

Baileigh Bishop led Connellsville (1-5, 0-2) with a game-high 20 points.

“Nya and Taylor both stepped up for us offensively, especially with Ashley (Briscoe) not scoring and being in foul trouble,” Ringgold coach Erika McCarthey said of Briscoe, who joined the 1,000-point club last week. “It is important that we got a win with other players putting points on the board.”

Connellsville coach Emily Daugherty talked about the difference in the game.

“The third quarter when they hit (three) consecutive 3-pointers,” said Daugherty. “That was big for them.”

Connellsville’s Zoe Youdell (11) is surrounded by Ringgold’s Hope Martin (20) and Taylor Costa (4) along the baseline during Monday’s Section 3-AAAAA game at Ringgold High School.

Connellsville was leading 28-26 with 2:51 to play in the third quarter when Taylor Costa hit a 3-pointer to give Ringgold a 29-28 lead.

Adams hit another three on Ringgold’s next possession to extend the the Lady Rams’ lead to 32-28 and after Bishop hit a shot for Connellsville to make the score 32-30, Mendicino hit a 3-pointer to extend the lead to 35-30.

McCarthey noted Mendicino’s older brother attended his first game of the year.

“He needs to show up more often,” she said. “If it is going to get her playing like that, he needs to come.”

The game was even early, and with Ringgold leading 13-8 late in the first quarter, Connellsville went on a 9-0 run between the end of the first quarter and the start of the second to take a 17-13 lead.

Ringgold countered with five straight points to take an 18-17 lead with under two minutes to go in the half, but Briscoe picked up her third foul with 1:42 to go in the half and Connellsville outscored Ringgold 6-2 the rest of the quarter.

Today marks the first-ever early signing period for high school seniors looking to get the recruiting process out of the way, and it will provide different aspects for different people.

Some players will sign over this three-day period starting today and enroll next month and start classes.

Others will sign yet finish their senior year of high school before making the trek for summer classes to get acclimated to the college life.

The rest of the players will finish out the recruiting process and sign in February.

But one group of people that will be affected but have not been talked about is assistant coaches. In the past, assistant coaches are usually fired right after the season as head coaches look to go in different directions.

Head coaches would hire new assistants and they would hit the recruiting trail hard trying to keep commits on board despite getting rid of coaches who may have recruited them to a certain school.

Having spoken to a few coaches, they feel coaches were not fired right away because of the limited time between the end of the season and the early signing period as new coaches would not be able to build relationships with recruits.

Greg McElroy of SirusXM’s college football morning show titled “The First Team” spoke last week about how he has heard the same thing from college coaches.

He also spoke about how with a tenth coach being hired at each school, the amount of coaching turnover is going to be astronomical.

Brown out vs. Texans; Conner done for season PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to pick up the pieces from an emotional loss to the New England Patriots without Antonio Brown.

Coach Mike Tomlin says Brown will miss Pittsburgh’s Christmas Day visit to Houston with a contusion on his left calf. The NFL’s leading receiver left in the second quarter against the Patriots after getting tangled up while trying to catch a pass in the end zone. Tomlin declined to get into the specifics of Brown’s injury and didn’t put a timetable on a possible return.

“I just know he’s out next week,” Tomlin said.

The Steelers (11-3) will also be without rookie running back James Conner, who was scheduled to undergo surgery on his right knee Tuesday.

Conner, who had 144 yards rushing as Le’Veon Bell’s primary backup this season, will be placed on injured reserve. Pittsburgh filled Conner’s roster spot by signing Stevan Ridley. Ridley, a sixyear veteran, last played for Atlanta during the 2016 season.

Whoever is available, the AFC North champions will head to Houston likely needing at least one win over their final two games and — maybe two if — to secure a first-round bye.

Regardless of the injuries to Brown and Conner, the offensive line and secondary could get a boost this week.

Right tackle Marcus Gilbert returns from a suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy.

Lady Cougars cruise past Brownsville, 55-19

By John Tiech

For the Herald-Standard

FALLOWFIELD TWP. — Maria Claybaugh, Bella Skobel, and Kaitlyn Riley all scored double digits for the Lady Cougars as Charleroi routed visiting Brownsville, 55-19, Monday night in Section 2-AAA action.

“I thought our girls did really well, and we’re always trying to improve and have a perfect game. I was really happy with how our girls shared the ball,” said Charleroi head coach Kevin Lee. “I mean, we had some silly turnovers, so there’s always room to improve. I

“I thought our girls did really well, and we’re always trying to improve and have a perfect game. I was really happy with how our girls shared the ball.”

— Kevin Lee, Charleroi head coach know Brownsville is well coached, and they have a lot of young players who play hard.”

The Lady Cougars (4-1, 2-0) completely dominated the first half of play with a 38-3 run, scoring 17 points in the first quarter and 21 points in the second quarter.

Brownsville’s only points came courtesy of Alexis Carson’s 3-pointer with 1:52 left in the first quarter. Carson

finished with six points.

Claybaugh scored 14 of her game-high 18 points in the first half. Skobel scored 11 of her 13 points in the first 16 minutes.

Riley finished with 12 points.

Although the mercy rule went into effect just over a minute into the third quarter, the Lady Falcons (0-2, 2-4) didn’t quit after the half and won the third quarter, 14-11.

Discussing her team’s resilience, Brownsville head coach Patty Columbia said, “Our girls bounced back after the half, and I was so proud of them. Our resilience is our greatest strength.”

“After the big lead, I thought we were too relaxed on defense and let them get back into the game, so I’d like to see us work on that,” said Lee of the third quarter.

The Lady Cougars won an uneventful fourth quarter, 6-2.

“We knew it was going to be a battle coming in, and we’re a young team and lost five starters from last year,” said Columbia. “We’re showing signs of putting it together, but we’re panicking on the press and couldn’t defend against Ch a r l e r o i . I ’ m c o n f i d e n t we’re going to get there though because we have a lot of talent.”

Both teams return to Section 2-AAA action Thursday night with Charleroi traveling to South Side Area (3-2, 1-1) and Brownsville returning home to battle McGuffey (1-3, 0-0).

Targeting calls set record, AP finds Pac-12, SEC had most

By Eric Olson

AP College Football Writer

Targeting penalties in the top tier of college football reached an all-time high this season and the Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences had the most players flagged, according to an analysis of NCAA data and research by The Associated Press.

It has been 10 years since the crackdown started on forcible hits above the shoulders of players determined to be defenseless. This season, the NCAA reported 188 enforced targeting calls in 832 regularseason games of the Bowl Subdivision; that is 30 percent more than last year, when there were 144 in 839 games. The per-game average has risen 35 percent, from 0.17 last year to 0.23 this season. It is the fourth consecutive season that targeting calls have increased.

That might seem alarming, but the increase doesn’t indicate a trend of head-hunting in the sport, said Rogers Redding, the NCAA’s national coordinator of officials. He attributed the increase to officials getting better

at detecting the penalty, more willingness of replay officials to call fouls missed on the field and the expanded definition of what constitutes a defenseless player.

The calls may be up, but play is likely safer.

“Players are getting their head out of it, they’re lowering their strike zone, you don’t see as much of a launch, but you still see a crouch and upward thrust,” he said. “Even though the numbers are up, the player behavior overall has changed.”

The NCAA compiles its numbers through reports submitted each week by conferences. A conference report includes any targeting call made by its officiating crews, even if the penalty was against an opponent from another conference. The NCAA report, therefore, would not always reflect the actual number of targeting fouls committed by players in a particular league.

The AP verified the circumstances of 176 targeting calls this season through official play-by-play sheets, media accounts and with the assistance of school and conference sports

information directors.

The SEC confirmed 27 instances of its players being flagged for targeting but declined to provide details of five calls not reported on play-byplay sheets or by the media. In all, the AP could not account for seven targeting penalties out of the 188 reported by the NCAA. Among the AP’s findings: n The Pac-12 had a nationhigh 30 targeting calls against its players, with UCLA and Utah having five apiece. n Five other FBS schools had five targeting calls: Akron, New Mexico State, Ohio State, Temple and Texas A&M. n Akron cornerback Alvin Davis Jr. was flagged for targeting three times, most in the nation, and seven other players were each flagged twice. n On 152 running or passing plays when targeting occurred, 46 calls were against safeties, 43 against defensive linemen, 33 against linebackers and 20 against cornerbacks. n Of the 176 verified calls, 113 occurred on pass plays, 39 on runs, 21 on kickoffs or punts, and one each on a point-after

touchdown, 2-point conversion try and field-goal attempt. n More than half of the possessions in which targeting was called ended with a score for the offended team — 83 touchdowns, 18 field goals. n Targeting most often occurred on first down (59 times).

The 14-team Atlantic Coast Conference had only six enforced targeting calls. Redding said differing styles of play can lead to variances across conferences, but he said the ACC figure was surprisingly low and he initially thought it was the result of a reporting error.

ACC coordinator of football officiating Dennis Hennigan said it’s no mistake. He credited league coaches for doing a good job of teaching proper tackling technique and what’s legal, and the players for adapting to targeting rules. Hennigan said he was satisfied with how his officiating crews performed.

“I don’t know if it was the luck of the draw this year, but we simply didn’t have a lot of targeting in our conference.

Just one of those years,” he said.

“Obviously, I hope that (ACC)

trend continues.”

Todd Berry, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association, also noted the disparity between the ACC and the Pac-12 but said one year is too small a sample.

“If those numbers come back, we need to look at, ‘Is the Pac-12 officiating it right or is the ACC not officiating it right?’” Berry said. “We need to look at several years of data.”

The targeting penalty was introduced in 2008 not just because of growing concerns about the sport’s concussion risk but also as a response to research showing catastrophic head, neck, spine and brain injuries at all levels of football spiked in the 2000s.

Targeting initially was a personal foul, but starting in 2013 it resulted in a player ejection, and since then all targeting calls are subject to video review and can be overturned. In 2016, replay officials were given the discretion to call targeting fouls missed by field officials, and this year their charge expanded to stopping the game to call any targeting foul they see.

Getting by with less: Gap grows between FBS haves, have nots

By Ralph D. Russo

AP College Football Writer

Pete Lembo has seen both sides of major college football as the head coach at Ball State and now as an assistant at Maryland.

At Ball State in the MidAmerican Conference, a simple decision like buying black helmets for the team came with concessions. There was give and take on every decision.

“And I would share that openly with our team,” Lembo said. “I would say, ‘Look guys, this is life. You’re going to have to make these same kind of decisions when you’re a husband and when you’re a father and you’re going to have to work with your wife on these kind of things.’”

At Maryland in the Big Ten, life is easier, relatively speaking. Boosted by a share of the Big Ten’s billion-dollar television deals, Maryland brought in $94 million in athletic revenue in 2015-16, according to the figures compiled

by USA Today — $70 million more than Ball State.

Media rights deals and the College Football Playoff have increased revenue at all levels of the Football Bowl Subdivision, but the gap has grown between the Group of Five leagues and the Power Five conferences — the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12.

Over the next month, Group of Five teams will mostly play in third-tier bowl games in front of sparse crowds, earning payouts that mostly cover travel expenses. The Power Five teams get the glamor bowls with the multimillion-dollar payouts.

It is not quite haves and havenots, but the differences show

Associated Press

Empty seats are seen in the second half of the New Orleans Bowl between Troy and North Texas in New Orleans on Dec. 16. Group of Five teams will mostly play in third-tier bowl games in front of sparse crowds, earning payouts that mostly cover travel expenses. The Power Five teams get the glamour bowls with the multimillion-dollar payouts.

in the most practical ways.

Bigger staffs allow coaches more time to actually coach.

Players not only have access to better facilities for training, but their health and performance is more thoroughly monitored from practice to training table.

They also get more academic supervision and support.

“There’s a big difference between a need and a want,” said Joe Parker, the athletic director at Colorado State, which recently opened a new $220 million on-campus football stadium. “I think we fulfill every need that I’ve seen on our campus as it relates to

intercollegiate athletes. The list of wants is extensive and there’s probably not a budget to address every one of them.

That’s the space we live in, making those tough decisions and prioritizing them. Not convincing ourselves that this thing that might look and seem nice is a necessity when it really isn’t it.”

Colorado State’s athletic revenue was just under $40 million, which ranks in the top half of the Mountain West but is still $18 million less than Washington State, which ranked last among the Power Five’s public schools.

Twenty-eight Power Five schools reported athletic revenue of more than $100 million, with Texas A&M leading the way at nearly $195 million. Each of the Power Five conferences made payouts to their members ranging between from $42 million in the Southeastern Conference to about $29 million in the Pac-12.

The College Football Playoff distributed at least $60 million to each Power Five conference last season , with the Big Ten netting $70.9 million. The Group of Five payouts ranged from the MAC at $21.9 million to Conference USA at $13.9

million.

Not all Group of Five conferences are created equal, but even the most lucrative — the American Athletic Conference — is paying its members about 10 times less than what most Power Five leagues share with their schools.

Lembo coached at Ball State from 2011-15, going 33-29 (23-17 in the MAC). After a 3-9 season in 2015 that made his future at the school uncertain, he left to become assistant head coach and special teams coordinator for head coach DJ Durkin at Maryland. Lembo made about $515,000 in his final season with the Cardinals, and made $350,000 last year at Maryland, which is about $60,000 less than what several MAC head coaches make.

At Colorado State, Parker paid head coach Mike Bobo $1.55 million last year, about $100,000 less than Kansas coach David Beaty, who was the lowest-paid coach in Power Five.

Parker and many ADs in his position try to downplay the differences in revenue, and to some extent they have a point. Ohio from the MAC beat Kansas this season. Northern Illinois, another MAC school, beat Nebraska from the Big Ten. Memphis from the AAC beat UCLA from the Pac-12.

“I think a lot of emphasis is placed on budget size. Maybe too much,” said Parker, who has previously worked in athletic administration at Texas Tech, Michigan, Oklahoma, Washington State and Texas.

“In what I’ve seen when people line up to compete, the size of your budget doesn’t have much meaning at that moment.”

UW’s Vea hopes for one more shining performance in Fiesta Bowl SEATTLE (AP) — Vita Vea took a calculated risk a year ago. He could have bolted Washington after his sophomore season for the NFL draft and cashed in.

By sticking around for one more season, Vea has earned a level of recognition that’s rare for a defensive tackle and that is likely to yield a big financial reward at the next level should he enter the NFL draft next year as expected.

“Coming back in the offseason, grinding it out, getting stronger, trying to get faster, learning more about the game, learning different techniques of playing (defensive) line and trying to get better,” Vea said.

“Yeah, I feel like it was worth it to stay. This past year was amazing.”

There’s at least one more game left in Vea’s college career and it’ll be one more showcase for the 340-pound defensive tackle to flash his athleticism and skill on a national stage. Vea and the 12th-ranked Huskies will face No. 9 Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 30 and with it the challenge of trying to slow star running back Saquon Barkley.

It’s the perfect kind of test for what’s expected to be Vea’s final college game, even if he’s not commenting on his future yet. A year ago, Vea was a likely second-day pick in the NFL draft. If he leaves as expected after this season he’s almost universally regarded as a firstround selection.

Tomlin also thinks cornerback Joe Haden may be ready after missing five games with a broken left leg.

Tomlin is only too eager to move forward after a calamitous fourth quarter against the Patriots. Pittsburgh blew an eight-point lead, then botched a chance to pull it out on the final drive when tight end Jesse James’ apparent touchdown was overturned on review. Ben Roethlisberger then threw an interception in

“You know I can’t say anything about that. We have a game left,” Vea said. “I’m trying to focus on that. I can’t think about that right now. Just focus on Penn State and the bowl game.”

If he goes, Vea will leave after one of the most decorated seasons ever by a Washington defensive player. He was voted the Pac-12 defensive player

of the year by the conference coaches and was named thirdteam AP All-American at defensive tackle.

He was the first Washington player named defensive player of the year in the conference since 1996 and just the fourth defensive player in school history to be player of the year.

“When those type of awards come you kind of take a step

back and realize all the hard work is paying off,” Vea said.

Now consider Vea received the recognition without posting huge stats. He finished the regular season with 38 tackles and 3 ½ sacks, yet managed to influence every game.

Linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven, the Huskies’ leading tackler, said the disruption Vea caused made it possible for others

to make the play, even if Vea wasn’t rewarded with the stat.

“It shows the respect I think he deserves. Obviously, it’s not a glamor position, you’re not going to see gaudy sacks, gaudy tackles or anything like that but I think it shows people understand this dude is winning us football games and changing the game in ways that I don’t think anyone else in the conference really is,” Burr-Kirven said. “You look at our film and there’s games you can’t stop him.”

The game that seemed to change the discussion about Vea was his last one. Facing an offensive line that was considered one of the best in the conference, Vea completely dominated in the Apple Cup victory over Washington State.

He was in the face of quarterback Luke Falk constantly and was a major reason the Cougars were held scoreless for three quarters and finished with (minus)-24 yards rushing as a team.

Amazingly, Vea had just two tackles against the Cougars, but it may have been his finest game. The Huskies hope he has one more performance like that against Penn State.

“Very proud of him to take on that task — of what people thought was already good and trying to make it better,” Washington defensive line coach Ikaika Malloe said. “I think he did everything we had for his goals . and he’s really focused on this game.”

the end zone rather than spike the ball to set up a potential tying field goal.

“I’m not happy with the outcome,” Tomlin said. “We played to win. We didn’t win the game. We’re not quantifying level of success. We didn’t do enough to win the game.”

Who exactly did what over Pittsburgh’s final four snaps remains vague. The Steelers were awarded their final timeout after Roethlisberger hit JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 69-yard gain that put the ball at the New England 10. Tomlin said Tuesday his plan wasn’t to call time after the play, saying

referee Tony Corrente incorrectly gave it to Pittsburgh because the official saw Roethlisberger mimicking a “time out” signal while looking at the Steelers’ sideline.

Things only got more confusing from there. James appeared to give Pittsburgh the lead when he caught a pass at the New England 1 and stretched into the end zone, the ball shifting as his hands hit the ground. Replay officials took the score away when they ruled James didn’t complete the process of making the catch.

“I think we all can acknowledge that all of this needs

to be revisited, it’s not just that play,” said Tomlin, who serves on the NFL’s competition committee. “We’re having similar discussions week in and week out. We’ve got our work cut out for us during the offseason.”

The lengthy review and the reversal appeared to catch Pittsburgh off-guard. Roethlisberger threw short to Darrius Heyward-Bey when play resumed, and when HeywardBey was dragged down in bounds, the clock continued to roll. Rather than spike the ball to stop the clock and give kicker Chris Boswell a chipshot field goal that would have sent the game into overtime,

Roethlisberger faked a spike, hoping to take advantage of what Tomlin called an “uncomfortable” situation for the Patriots.

Roethlisberger attempted to find Eli Rogers in the end zone, only to have the ball deflect into the hands of safety Duron Harmon and the Patriots escaped with a 27-24 victory, their fifth straight over the Steelers.

“We wanted to try and win the game in regulation,” Tomlin said. “There were extra seconds there I wanted to take advantage of. If given the opportunity to do it again, I’d do it again.”

Vea’s impact on the game was enough that coaches voted the Washington defensive tackle the Pac-12 defensive player of the year.

Panthers sale sparks buzz in political, business circles CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The stunning news of the rare opportunity to purchase an NFL team has quickly garnered the attention of sports figures, business investors and politicians alike.

Amid reports of sexual and racial remarks made by Carolina Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson in the workplace, he has unexpectedly announced that he is selling the NFL franchise after this season ends.

It was a bombshell that rocked the Carolinas, and generated shockwaves inside and out of the organization.

The team Monday promoted Tina Becker as COO and gave her full control of the day-to-day operations.

Becker said in a release that “these have been some of the most difficult days of my 19 years with the Panthers.” She added that her immediate focus will be on corporate side of the organization, “while addressing the real concerns that have been raised in recent days.”

Richardson, meanwhile, stepped away from daily responsibilities to focus on the sale of the team — which will come with a multi-billion dollar price tag.

That’s what is known, but Richardson’s decision to walk away after nearly 25 years as owner has left more questions than answers about the franchise’s future — most notably, who will buy it and will they keep the team in Charlotte.

Charlotte Mayor Vi

Lyles said she is committed to working to keep the team in Charlotte.

“The City of Charlotte values its long-running relationship with the Panthers after more than 22 seasons of NFL football,” Lyles said in a statement to The Associated Press. “The Panthers are part of Charlotte’s fabric. We’ve celebrated victories and anguished over defeats. We understand transitions are inevitable, and we look forward to working with current and future ownership.”

The Panthers are tethered to Charlotte through the 2018 season because of an agreement on an $87.5 stadium renovation between the city and the team in 2013. That renovation is nearly complete.

But a buyer could potentially purchase the

team and move it in 2019.

Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, who was mayor of Charlotte when the Panthers settled into their new stadium, has seen both sides. He also was the mayor when the Hornets left town. He said another question might be about Bank of America stadium.

“Will (the new owners) ask for government subsidy to continue to improve the stadium, or, in fact, even build a new stadium, like what’s happened in Atlanta and Dallas?” McCrory said.

“That would be a tall order.”

He said it will be a business decision— and the highest bidder will get the team, to possibly do with it as they chose.

“Unless the NFL steps in and says, ‘No, you

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers is done for the season.

The Green Bay Packers put their star quarterback on injured reserve Tuesday, a day after they were eliminated from playoff contention.

Rodgers missed seven games after breaking his right collarbone Oct. 15 against Minnesota. He returned on Sunday, but the Packers lost 31-24 at Carolina. Atlanta’s win against Tampa Bay on Monday night ended

Green Bay’s eight-year run of consecutive postseason berths.

Brett Hundley will get the start for Green Bay in Saturday’s home game against the Vikings. Joe Callahan was signed as his backup.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson watches the action during the first half between the Carolina Panthers and the Green Bay Packers in Charlotte on Sunday.

The Panthers have announced that Richardson is selling the NFL franchise amid an investigation by the league into allegations of sexual and racist misconduct by Richardson in the workplace.

Bernard Clark gets head job at Robert Morris ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Bernard Clark, associate head coach and defensive coordinator for the University at Albany, has been hired as head coach at Robert Morris.

Clark will be introduced as the Northeast Conference school’s third

coach at a news conference Wednesday, Albany announced. He was with the Great Danes for four seasons.

Clark oversaw one of the top defenses in the Football Championship Subdivision this past season. Albany finished

ranked No. 9 defensively, allowing just 282.1 yards per game.

As a player, Clark won two national championships at Miami and was the 1987 Orange Bowl MVP. He played three seasons in the NFL and two in the AFL before turning to coaching.

The biggest winners in this will be players who may be considered midmajor recruits, but may gain interest from major programs when other prospects sign elsewhere.

Looking at it from another perspective, there will be college assistant coaches who will leave their current jobs for a position elsewhere shortly once the assistant coaching carousel picks up shortly.

These coaches, if they know they will be leaving school “A” for school “B,” have been recruiting kids to school “A” by building a relationship with them but will be leaving.

So while helping the school they are leaving, they are basically lying to these recruits who are trusting these coaches with their future.

need to have a local ownership group,’” he said, “which I’d encourage them to do.”

Panthers coach Ron Rivera was “a little taken aback” when Richardson informed him Sunday night of his decision to sell the team.

But he too believes the Panthers should remain in Charlotte.

“This organization has been a source of pride and goodwill and I would like it to continue,” Rivera said Monday. “This is a great community with a very supportive fan base that has been out there for us.

They have been here for me and this football team and I hope that somehow it is able to stay here.”

The chance to purchase an NFL team has potential suitors coming out of the woodwork.

Rapper and actor

Diddy indicated his interest in purchasing the Panthers on Twitter moments after Richardson’s announcement.

Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, a Charlotte native, chimed in with “I want in!”

NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has also expressed interest.

Other businessmen with Charlotte connections could show interest as well.

Speedway Motorsports chairman Bruton Smith and his son, CEO Marcus Smith, have previously expressed interest in purchasing the Panthers should the opportunity arise.

And the Panthers are loaded with minority owners including real estate magnate “Smoky” Bissell, Family Dollar founder Leon Levine and members of the Belk family. Developer Johnny Harris, who was instrumental in luring the Wells Fargo Championship — and later the PGA Championship — to Charlotte, could also decide to increase his ownership stake in the team.

Let’s not forget Michael Jordan. The sixtime NBA champion owns the Hornets.

However, Jordan’s interest level is unknown and his representative Estee Portnoy said she had no comment on the Panthers sale.

More names will surely emerge over the next several weeks, but they need to be ready to write a big check. Forbes Magazine recently estimated the Panthers worth at $2.3 billion.

And those numbers could be low.

Forbes estimated the Buffalo Bills at a net worth of $935 million in 2013, but the team wound up selling in 2014 for $1.4 billion — nearly 50 percent higher than the estimate — according to magazine’s website.

Before any sale can be finalized, it will need the approval of 24 of 32 NFL owners.

The Panthers have a lot to offer potential suitors: n They are on the cusp of reaching the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons. n They have sold out 225 of their 227 home games in team history, including 157 straight. n They feature several recognizable stars including 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton and 2013 Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly.

Panthers tight end Ed Dickson said fans don’t deserve to have a team ripped out from underneath them.

“It’s growing, it’s definitely been growing,” Dickson said of the fan base. “We are striving to build something that Dallas has, and Pittsburgh has. We don’t have that much history here.

But one of the reasons I came here was to be a part of something special. When we do get to the top of the mountain and win a Super Bowl — then we have something to celebrate here” in the Carolinas.

At least in 2017 and 2018, after that, it’s unclear where the party would be.

Prosciutto And Red Pepper Stuffed Petite Filet is made with a beef filet and stuffed with prosciutto, pesto and roasted red peppers.

Serve petite beef filet for a holiday dinner

By Sara Moulton The Associated Press‌

ant to serve a fancy roast for Christmas dinner without breaking the bank? Try a petite beef filet. Cut from the shoulder, long and thin, and weighing between 8-10 ounces, the petite filet looks like a mini tenderloin of beef — one of the priciest and most popular of roasts. But it’s much less

expensive and more flavorful than the tenderloin.

And tender, too.

Here we’ve rolled it up and stuffed it with prosciutto, as well as with pesto and roasted red peppers. The latter two ingredients — one green, the other red — echo the signature colors of the holiday even as they delight the taste buds. And, bonus! You can buy them by the jar in the supermarket, which makes the prep that much easier.

The only tricky part of this recipe for Prosciutto and Red Pepper Stuffed Petite Filet is double-butterflying the roast — that is, cutting the filet in such a way that it becomes a big flat rectangle. Start by looking for the largest petite filets you can find. They’re the easiest to slice and they hold more stuffing. Then, before commencing your butterfly surgery, read the instructions several times. The goal is to avoid

cutting a hole in the meat as you butterfly it, although it’s not a problem even if you do. The roast will still hold together after the meat is pounded, lined with prosciutto, rolled and tied. And tying it isn’t that difficult. If you need help, there are several terrific videos online that will take you through it step by step.

Don’t forget to laugh About a month ago, Josie came to me and Mike with an idea for Christmas presents she wanted to make for the family and friends who come to our home to celebrate the holiday.

Her list of requested items was lengthy and literally would’ve required us to rent a helium tank.

The 9-year-old craft princess hoped to attach her gift to a balloon. Her thought was that we would inflate the balloons, put them in a box and wrap them. Then, she could watch as folks unwrapped their gifts and the balloons lifted the gift up, revealing her handmade present.

After much discussion — including a vetoed suggestion about mixing baking soda and vinegar to achieve the same result as helium — Josie agreed (a bit begrudgingly) to forego the balloons.

Veggie-filled spring rolls offer the perfect holiday detox

By The Culinary Institute of America

f you are up to your eyeballs in eggnog, you’re probably in desperate need of a detox.

And by detox, we mean a truckload of fresh fruits and vegetables prepared as minimally as possible, because you have things to do! And we’re not just talking any vegetables. We’re talking super cruciferous vegetables, full of the good fuel that your body needs to rev up for the new year.

Though the term may be unfamiliar, cruciferous vegetables are not. Arugula, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, and radishes are among many vegetables in the cruciferous family, which are prized for their flavor, texture, and nutrients.

Chef Katherine Polenz says, “Cruciferous vegetables are underutilized, but are so rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients. Dark leafy kale is high in minerals and proteins, and provides a great textural addition.”

This Vegetable Spring Rolls recipe is packed full of these super-vegetables, which means it’s also full of antioxidants; fiber; vitamins C, E and K; and folate. We’ve added some creamy hummus and the ultra-flavorful dukkah spice blend.

This pecan pie can be mocked!

Dear Heloise: I have enjoyed your recipes for years. Do you have the one for mock pecan pie?

I’ve lost my old recipe. — Deloris E., Springfield, Mo. Deloris, as a matter of fact, I have a wonderful recipe for Mock Pecan Pie that you can find in my book “In the Kitchen With Heloise.” It’s easy to make, and here it is:

Mock Pecan Pie 1 cup cooked unseasoned pinto beans 1½ to 2 cups sugar 4 ounces butter or margarine 4 eggs, well beaten 2 tablespoons molasses or dark corn syrup 3 teaspoons vanilla extract ½ teaspoon salt 1 (9-inch) pie shell, unbaked ½ cup chopped pecans Whipped cream or nondairy whipped topping (for serving) Preheat the oven to 350 F. Drain and mash the beans thoroughly. In a medium bowl, cream the sugar and butter. Add the eggs, molasses, vanilla and salt. Mix in the beans. Pour into the pie shell and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve with the whipped cream. NOTE: Use canned beans, or start from dried beans.

MERINGUE MADNESS Dear Heloise: My lemon pie meringue is a real mess! I did something wrong, but I don’t know what. It was runny. Help!

— Jane R., Coconut Creek, Fla. Jane, here are a few suggestions to produce a beautiful meringue: n Egg whites need to be at room temperature, and you’ll need at least three egg whites per pie. n After the egg whites are beaten stiff (but not dry), sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and just a dash of salt on top and beat again very slightly.

Slowly add 3 tablespoons of sugar per egg white in the bowl while beating the egg whites continuously. n Always have the meringue touching the edges of the pie crust. n Put the pie in the middle of the oven rack to brown, and when the meringue is almost as brown as you want it, turn off the oven and crack open the door a little so the pie can cool down gradually.

FRUIT SALAD Dear Heloise: I make a fruit salad that all my friends seem to love. I cut up oranges, strawberries, apples, bananas, celery, walnuts, raisins and pineapple, and use plain yogurt with 3 tablespoons of sour cream as a dressing.

The U.S. food industry has announced $42 billion in deals this year, but it could just be a taste of the next wave of consolidation coming in 2018.

Companies from Kraft Heinz to Conagra are seen as possible suitors next year as food giants struggle to generate growth. They face an array of challenges: shifting eating tastes, a resurgent Wal-Mart

playing tough with suppliers and Amazon’s expansion into the grocery business.

The latest round of deal speculation was sparked by two food-industry acquisitions announced Monday. Campbell Soup agreed to acquire Snyder’s-Lance, a maker of potato chips and pretzels, and Hershey will buy Amplify Snack Brands, best known for SkinnyPop popcorn.

With those two

transactions, the total value of food deals announced in the U.S. this year increased by about 54 percent from 2016’s $27.1 billion.

Acquisitions are increasingly seen as a way for old-line food companies to tap into new consumer trends — such as more fresh food. The industry needs something. Campbell’s shares have slumped 18 percent this year while Kellogg’s have dropped 11 percent.

roots, dukkah is unique because it includes seeds and nuts, like hazelnuts, pistachios, and sesame seeds, which adds a welcome richness to vegetarian recipes. Dukkah is commonly used as a seasoning on traditional flatbreads, but once you try it, you’ll be hard pressed to find something that couldn’t use a sprinkle. It should be easy to find at your local grocery store or specialty market.

To pair with the spices, we’ve added some of our favorite crunchy cruciferous veggies, which also happen to be vibrant in flavor and color. Each vegetable, from the kohlrabi (kind of like radish/broccoli) to the watermelon radish, lends a new flavor and texture to the spring roll, so each bite is unique. The beauty of this recipe is that you can mix and match your favorite flavors, adding broccoli, shredded cabbage, or even tofu.

We call for most of the vegetables to be julienned, which is a cut in the shape of a thin matchstick. This cut is perfect for a spring roll, because it’s big enough to be crunchy, but thin enough to bite through.

The best way to cut a julienne is to slice each vegetable about 1/8-inch thick, then cut those slices into matchsticks. A mandolin will do it twice as fast, if you have one.

Once you have your juliennes in order, it’s time to give the kale a little extra attention. Kale is a needy vegetable — though to be fair, it really does a lot of work for us, and we probably owe it a good massage from time to time. If you’ve ever declared, “Ugh, I hate kale,” it’s probably because it wasn’t properly coaxed and coddled into a good mood.

Even Kraft Heinz, run by managers from the private equity firm 3G Capital, is down 9 percent in 2017 as investors worry about the company’s ability to pull off another deal. Much of those losses have been driven by the broad sales slowdown across the industry.

shape of a rectangle. Pound the meat between two sheets of plastic wrap, sprinkled with water until it is about 1/4-inch thick all over.

Arrange half the prosciutto over the inside of each roast, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides. Spread half of the pesto on top of the prosciutto and arrange the red pepper strips down the middle.

Starting with the long end, roll up the beef to form a cylinder and tie it with twine at 1-inch lengths.

In a medium ovenproof skillet heat the oil over medium high heat, add the meat, seasoned all over with salt and pepper and brown it on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the middle shelf of the oven and roast the filets for 10 minutes for mediumrare meat. Transfer the roasts to a plate, cover them loosely with foil and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Her excitement is a nice reminder for those of us who stress getting ready for the holidays.

Everything doesn’t have to be exactly as we’d envisioned it on the Hallmark Card in our minds. Holidays shouldn’t be stressful; they should be fun.

They should be about the people with whom you spend them, and about laughter and love. In the hustle and bustle, it’s too easy to forget that not everything needs to be perfect.

This year, as for the last several, we’re lucky enough to host Christmas at our home.

Our kids and families will gather in the late morning for a brunch of Crème Brulee French toast, ham, smoked salmon and other deliciousness.

You will see a notable change in the appearance of the leaves, which will turn a more vibrant shade of green, and they will also be much softer and more tender. The kale will also be sweeter.

Serve these spring rolls as a light lunch, on a platter as a party snack, or alongside a nice veggie soup for a satisfying dinner.

And if a raw, vegetarian spring roll is going a little too cold turkey, we’ll look the other way if you want to add some grilled shrimp or chicken. Maybe just not that leftover prime rib.

Some cabinets, carpet emit chemicals Excessive surveillance

may be considered abuse

By Elisabeth Leamy

Special to The Washington Post

We feel safe in our homes, but that can be a false sense of security. The threat I’m talking about is something we can’t see: Indoor air pollution. The air in our homes and workplaces can be more polluted than outdoor air in the most industrialized cities, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA says the problem is compounded by the fact that Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors. Many different things can cause indoor air pollution, and they have a cumulative effect on our health.

Let’s look at one of those possible sources: Our furnishings. Yes, your new carpet or cabinet could be subtly poisoning you with chemicals such as benzene, ethylene glycol or formaldehyde. It’s called “off-gassing.” Four of the top 10 chemicals emitted from furnishings are considered “acute” hazards, or irritants. “Poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer and chronic lung diseases such as asthma,” according to the American Lung Association.

How do researchers know that some furnishings emit harmful gaseous chemicals? Greenguard, a division of UL Environment, has developed a way of testing furniture to find out. In a genericlooking office park outside Atlanta, researchers heft furniture into giant, airtight chambers. The chambers are made of stainless steel and glass — two materials that don’t interfere with the testing because they do not off-gas. A piece of furniture sits inside the chamber for as long as a week while small tubes measure all of the chemicals coming off it.

When I was at “Good Morning America,” I asked Greenguard to test furniture for a baby’s nursery for a story. The rocker we tested put off seven times as much formaldehyde as the state of California considers safe. The paint contained five times the amount of chemical gases as the recommended limit.

And more than 100 chemicals wafted from the crib mattress — some of them alcohols and industrial solvents.

Greenguard developed the testing method so manufacturers who wanted to sell low-emission furniture could prove their products

were healthier. UL awards its Greenguard certification to furniture that emits low or no levels of hazardous chemicals. “Many manufacturers are testing their products to determine the amount of emitted volatile organic compounds,” said Scott Laughlin of UL Environment. “In some cases, they may choose to reformulate their products to reduce chemical emissions.”

Manufacturers don’t have to state what chemicals they use in their furnishings. The EPA singles out engineered wood — otherwise known as particleboard — as being particularly prone to emitting formaldehyde, a probable carcinogen. UL Environment adds that products that are applied wet, such as glues and paints, often offgas while they are curing.

Sometimes a strong industrial odor is a good hint that a piece of furniture is emitting chemicals. If you develop a headache while inside a building where paints, stains or glues are being used, that’s another clue. But it’s hard for consumers to know for sure whether harmful chemicals are present.

However, it is possible to know whether harmful chemicals are not present, because more and more

furnishings are being certified as having low emissions. Here are certifications you can look for and other steps you can take to reduce your exposure to indoor air pollution from your furnishings: 1. Check certifications.

Look for an indoor-airquality certification, such as the one offered by Greenguard. Another firm that certifies low-emission furniture is SCS Global Services.

2. Air out. Unwrap new furniture outdoors and let it sit for at least a week to air out. You can also unwrap traditional dry-cleaning outdoors or in a detached garage before taking it inside. Open doors and windows to get fresh air into your house as often as possible, even when you are not doing a home improvement project.

3. Paint first. If you’re renovating your house, paint it and air it out before installing carpeting and curtains, because they can absorb chemical fumes from the paint. Also paint in the spring or fall when it’s most comfortable to leave doors and windows open for air circulation.

4. Buy used. Off-gassing diminishes over time, so buying older furniture can be better. Just be sure the products you buy meet

current safety standards, and avoid painted furniture made before 1978, the year lead paint was banned.

5. Avoid particleboard.

This material is also called pressed wood, engineered wood and MDF. The glues used to hold the material together often contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde. Alternatively, look for certified particleboard products. “Manufacturers who use engineered wood often encapsulate the engineered wood with laminates, sealants or finishes to reduce emissions,” Laughlin of UL said.

6. Choose unscented.

Many products come in scented or unscented versions. The unscented ones should contain fewer chemicals.

7. Beyond furnishings.

Other products frequently used in homes can also offgas and cause indoor air pollution. Consider the potential pollution when you bring new flooring, paint, adhesives, electronics, gypsum board or insulation into your home.

relationships with musicians including Kris Kristofferson, with whom he drank (and somet i m e s Boyle fought) in the balcony of the Cellar Door, and members of the Mamas & the Papas vocal group, for whom he bought new instruments when the band was starting out.

“Jack was one of the original powerhouse architects of the concert industry,” said Seth Hurwitz,the owner of the 9:30 Club and the Anthem in Washington, who as chairman of the Washington-based promotion and production company I.M.P. has largely succeeded Boyle as chief impresario of the region’s music scene.

Cellar Door Productions, named for Boyle’s flagship

venue, produced more than 500 events each year and reportedly grossed up to $100 million annually, booking acts such as the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Pink Floyd, the Dave Matthews Band, U2 and the Who, as well as overseeing high-profile events including Fourth of July concerts on the National Mall and entertainment for President Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration.

Boyle gave few interviews, but when he did speak publicly, he often

noted the volatile nature of his profession.

“Basically, a promoter is a banker who gives nonrecourse loans at high interest rates. If the show wins, he collects money at a high interest rate for what he risked, and if it loses, he has no recourse to get his money back. So our only inventory besides goodwill is cash,” he once told Pollstar, a trade magazine for the concert industry.

“I can’t think of any of us who would want our children to do it.”

Jack Boyle, concert promoter who founded a music empire, dies at 83

By The Washington Post

Jack Boyle, a selfdescribed “tone deaf” concert promoter who turned Washington’s tiny Cellar Door music club into a venue that hosted the likes of Neil Young and Miles Davis, and who went on to build a lucrative production and promotion empire that booked hundreds of acts across the country, died Dec. 10 at his son’s home in Rancho Santa Fe, California. He was 83.

The cause was complications from dementia, said his son, also named Jack Boyle.

Boyle was known less for his musical taste than for his no-nonsense business style, perhaps best summed up by the profane sign that hung for years behind his desk at the Cellar Door in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood: “If You [Mess] With the Hawk, You Get Clawed.”

Still, he developed close

Dear Annie: I have a loving daughter, and I respect her husband greatly. I have visited from across the country countless times. I am 84, and they have two grown children. Everyone is happy when we are together. The only issue as far as I’m concerned is that the hubby, although generous and kind, is overly domineering, bordering on being a tyrant, and a nut about managing things, especially electronics.

On a recent visit of mine, my daughter mentioned that he had installed cameras in several places in their house because I was there. It was supposedly so he can see the entryways to their home from his cellphone for security purposes. He installed them, however, so that he can both see and hear virtually everything that goes on in their house. He has even called her from his office a few times to say, “What room are you in? I can’t see you.’’ She is about the most hardworking and honest and kindest woman a man could ever expect. He is a successful and important provider. They have never had any marital conflict about cheating or anything.

She has no way of knowing whether his snooping gadgets are on or off.

She says that it’s his thing and that there’s no use in fighting about it. However, it disgusts me, and I don’t think I will be able to visit their home again if I’m being monitored. It’s not moral or proper.

It’s an invasion of privacy.

Should I mention this to him or just stop going there? He would probably be grossly offended, seeing as he is allegedly “the master of the house.’’

Not seeing them would be devastating to me because my daughter is my closest living relative and I love her dearly. We have never had a real argument since the day she was born. — Loving Gramps Needs Advice Dear Loving Gramps: I agree with you that all that surveillance seems a bit creepy. If this is part of a larger pattern of controlling behavior,

Annie Lane it could indicate emotional abuse. (Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline, at 800-799-7233, for guidance.) But unless and until your daughter comes to you with such concerns, there’s not much you can do. Why not invite them over to your house rather than create a conflict in their marriage where there may be none?

Dear Annie: I have two grandsons in the military, and I am very proud of them.

Each Christmas, I send each a card and a nice check. One I hear from as soon as he opens his mail, but I don’t hear at all from the other. The first year, I reminded the parents several times before I received a very nice thank-you letter. This past year, I said nothing and received no thank-you.

This year, I want to cut him off (to get his attention) and then give him another chance next year. What advice would you offer me in this situation? — Wisconsin Grandpa Dear Wisconsin Grandpa: You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops trying to train your grandchildren to write thank-you notes.

This year, do only as much as you feel inclined to do. Perhaps send a card but no check so he knows you’re thinking of him and you’re not thinking of him resentfully afterward.

To the grandchildren reading this, let this be a reminder of just how much a simple thankyou note means.

Delivery by drone closer to a reality

C5

Book implores women to find their voices

By Elaine Showalter The Washington Post

By Alan Levin

Women & Power: A Manifesto

By Mary Beard Liveright. 128 pp. $15.95

Deliveries by drones took a step closer to being allowed in the U.S. after a federal advisory panel agreed on a framework for allowing law enforcement to routinely track the small devices.

The committee’s report to the Federal Aviation Administration, released Tuesday, is a significant step toward widening drone flights to allow them over people, urban areas and over long distances. A system to track and identify drones is necessary before companies can deliver packages via unmanned drones, or before utilities and railroads can broaden their use for inspections.

While the report laid out the rough specifications necessary for such tracking, various interest groups dissented over whether certain small drones would get waivers to fly without being identified.

Allowing any drones to fly unidentified creates a “potentially dangerous loophole,” a representative for the Air Line Pilots Association said in his comments. ALPA is the largest union representing pilots in North America.

The FAA, which is working with federal and local law enforcement agencies concerned about drone safety and security, will now take the industry and hobbyists comments under advisement and begin drafting a proposed set of regulations requiring tracking.

A much-publicized feature of Hillary Clinton’s London book tour in October was a sitdown with Mary Beard to talk about women’s public voices and the obstacles to female power. Beard, the erudite, energetic and jolly professor of classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, knows a lot about both these topics. A celebrity in the U.K., she often appears on radio and TV, publishes bestselling books (“SPQR,” “Pompeii”) and writes a blog called “A Don’s Life” for the Times Literary Supplement.

She’s also controversial, most recently for her arguments about the ethnic diversity of Roman Britain. And she’s been trolled on Twitter and attacked in print for both her feminist positions and her long gray hair. Beard always fights back, with humor and the confidence of intellectual authority. Indeed, she has so many fans in the U.K. that she’s perilously close to becoming a cozy “national treasure,” like Alan Bennett and Judi Dench.

But Beard hasn’t lost her bite. In the two essays that make up her new book, “Women & Power,” she shows first, how women have been silenced in public life as far back as the Greeks and the Romans, and second, how ancient images of female monstrosity from Clytemnestra to Medusa have

Bloomberg

been endlessly recycled to undermine women’s access to political power.

In “The Odyssey,” Penelope’s son tells her to shut up in the great hall and go back to her spinning and weaving because speech is “the business of men.”

In the classical era, Beard explains, “public speaking and oratory were not merely things that ancient women didn’t do: They were exclusive practices and skills that defined masculinity as a gender.”

Even now, women who speak forcefully in public are called strident or shrill. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand have been silenced in the Senate and insulted in the president’s

tweets. The snaky head of Medusa (Freud called it a symbol of castration anxiety) was used to demonize German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Theresa May and, in 2016, Clinton, with a meme of Trump decapitating her. The ultimate way to silence a woman is to lock her up or kill her.

To be heard and taken seriously is a prerequisite to power, Beard notes. And despite misogyny and buffoonery, women have persisted in demanding respect.

Some have adopted androgynous signals of

leadership. Margaret Thatcher got speech training to lower her voice. Others wear pantsuits, a point Beard illustrates with an amusing picture of Clinton and Merkel greeting each other in identical uniforms like reunited Shakespearean twins.

But, she admits, that masquerade misses the real problem: “Rather than push women into voice-training classes to get a nice, deep, husky and entirely artificial tone, we should be thinking more about the fault-lines and fractures that underlie dominant male discourse.”

Ah, yes — a bit more thinking. Maybe a study group, the first step British feminists always proposed back in 1972, when I was in the women’s movement in London. But then what?

That’s the rub.

Beard herself is a practiced speaker and writer, who deploys an accessible language with intelligence, wit and a disarmingly personal voice. She believes in confronting a male antagonist and has done it successfully in a debate with Boris Johnson. But for all of her learning, charm and pluck, even she is at a loss when it comes to changing the status quo.

After a deft summary of the way women are silenced, interrupted, patronized, passed over and ignored in debate, speeches, meetings and discussions, she asks, “What’s the practical

remedy?”

“Like most women,” she admits, “I wish I knew.”

Moreover, she concedes, “feminist efforts over half a century” to reclaim Medusa and other hostile images of female power haven’t made “a blind bit of difference to the way she has been used in attacks on female politicians.”

Although she notes that Black Lives Matter was founded by three women, she has to admit that few of us know their names.

(As Virginia Woolf first said, “Anon ... was often a woman.”) And Beard’s conclusions, in her own words, are “gloomy”: “We have not got anywhere near subverting those foundational stories of power that serve to keep women out of it.”

It’s fun to read “Women & Power.” Beard’s slim, elegant, well-illustrated book would fit nicely into a Christmas stocking.

But no manifesto, or womanifesto, no individual woman’s success, no intellectual analysis, can change the male power structure. It has to be a collective action.

The American feminist achievements of this year, from the Women’s March to the #MeToo uprising, give hope that we may be seeing a new wave of women’s power, based on claiming public speech and political space.

Ziggy

Horoscope SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Common sense should be a priority when dealing with friends and relatives. Be honest and expect the same in return.

Truth matters and will shape what unfolds from now on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Listen to your heart and share your thoughts with someone you feel close to. Don’t let people from your past disrupt your life. Avoid making hasty decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t be tempted by people making rash or erratic choices.

You are best off taking a wait-andsee attitude, especially if money or your physical health is at stake.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)

— Not everyone will be forthcoming regarding what they want or think. Set your own standard and do what will help you the most. Take care of unfinished personal business.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Emotional purchases or spontaneous changes will be met with regret once you have time to think about what you’ve done or signed up for. Be cautious when it comes to money matters.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t let emotions overrule common sense. Take care of professional and financial matters responsibly to ease your stress and better enjoy your downtime.

Choose disciplined maneuvers over impulsive action.

Bridge

By Phillip Alder Nearly three weeks ago, I reviewed a new book

by Danny Roth, a Londoner. Hard on the heels of that comes another book of the same type but with a different publisher: “Outsmart the Bridge Experts” (HNB).

Roth sets 60 declarer-play and defense problems where he believes that the original writer’s analysis was inaccurate. I usually agreed with him, but not totally in this deal.

Look at the North and East hands. The contract is three hearts. West leads the diamond queen.

How should East plan the defense?

East could not open one no-trump, because it would have shown 14-16 points.

South made a normal preemptive jump overcall promising little more than a respectable seven-card suit. No one else had a reason to compete.

Roth, probably correctly, suggests that this is a constructed deal. If the defense begins with three rounds of diamonds, declarer ruffs and ought to draw two rounds of trumps. (Roth recommends immediately ruffing losers in hand.) Then, when South sees the 4-1 break, he plays a club to dummy and ruffs a diamond. (If East trumps in, declarer discards his spade loser.) South continues with a club to dummy, a club ruff, a spade to dummy and the last club. If East pitches his final spade, declarer ruffs and loses the last two tricks to East’s trumps.

The best — and winning — defense is for East to overtake at trick one (or trick two) and to shift to anything. Roth recommends a trump, but I think the spade king is preferable to remove one of dummy’s entries before declarer starts ruffing in his hand.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Instinctive emotional actions will lead to regret. Don’t make promises you cannot keep. Plans and commitments must be realistic. Learn from your mistakes to avoid criticism.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Headstrong actions will be costly.

Don’t sign up for something that could break your budget. Limit your spending and walk away from situations that appear to be unpredictable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Stay focused on what you have yet to accomplish. Leaving unfinished business for someone else to take care of will make you look bad. Avoid indulgent or irresponsible behavior.

Crossword

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your stamina and discipline will help you conquer whatever task or responsibility you are handed.

A positive attitude will be helpful when dealing with someone or something you find confusing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t get all worked up over nothing. Embrace whatever comes your way and turn it into something that is beneficial to you. A personal change looks inviting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Look for unusual offerings or lifestyle choices to come up with the perfect way to spend the holiday season. A disciplined approach to money matters will help decrease debt.

‘Silent strokes’ could result in unusual behavior Dear Doctor: A relative long ago diagnosed with atrial fibrillation has been behaving differently, such as sitting with his mouth gaping open, not attending to financial matters, taking too long to do errands, that kind of thing. Could silent TIAs be the culprit?

Dear Reader: Yes, they could. First, let’s explain atrial fibrillation. Two chambers known as atria make up the top portion of the heart, storing blood before it goes into the two bottom chambers, known as ventricles. The atria contract first, then the ventricles, setting the overall rhythm of the heart. In atrial fibrillation, the atria are damaged or enlarged and don’t contract sufficiently or rhythmically. Because of this, some blood can

Dr. Robert Ashley stay within them, leading to a clotting of blood in this portion of the heart.

If the atria contract normally or the clot mobilizes for some other reason, then the clot can move into the ventricles, where it can then shoot into the circulatory system when the ventricles contract.

The clot can then become lodged in the smaller blood vessels of the brain, leading to lack of blood flow to that area.

The result is either a transient ischemic attack (TIA), in which a portion of the brain loses function for a short period, or a full-fledged stroke.

Atrial fibrillation could indeed be leading to small strokes in your relative. Often, these small strokes are not noted by the patient or by family members. A study in elderly residents in Germany found that 12.7 percent of them had experienced what’s known as “silent strokes.”

Such strokes don’t have obvious symptoms; instead, they can manifest as a difficulty in performing cognitive tasks

or a slowing in everyday activities. Your relative’s risk of strokes linked to atrial fibrillation would be lower if he has been taking blood thinners, but they still could occur.

A CT scan or MRI can easily determine whether your relative has had these silent strokes. It’s important to get such a diagnosis because if his symptoms are related to a small stroke, he’ll be at greater risk of having a large, debilitating stroke.

His symptoms could be linked to another type of stroke as well — a lacunar stroke caused by very high blood pressure and diabetes, which lead to a narrowing of smaller blood vessels in the brain.

These strokes can cause loss of function in a limb or the problems traditionally found in silent

strokes.

Whether caused by atrial fibrillation or a narrowing of blood vessels, multiple strokes can lead to dementia, which also may be the reason for your relative’s recent behavior.

Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia and normal pressure hydrocephalus also can cause the symptoms you describe, and imaging of the brain and a consultation with a neurologist can confirm these diagnoses.

Let’s not forget another cause: depression.

Depression in the elderly can have many of the same symptoms as dementia, causing difficulty in focusing on tasks, memory and self-care.

Lastly, if the symptoms in your relative developed suddenly, infection could be the culprit.

In short, your relative’s symptoms have many possible causes. But you’re astute in thinking that TIAs or silent strokes due to atrial fibrillation may be to blame. Please encourage him and his closest family member to see a doctor; he obviously needs medical attention and recommendations specific to his needs.

Crime-fighting robot retired in San Fran More facial recognition Allegedly launched ‘war on homeless’

By The Washington Post

Like so many classic Western anti-heroes before him, he rolled (literally) into town with a singular goal in mind: cleaning up the streets, which had become a gritty hotbed of harassment, vandalism, break-ins and grift. The only difference was that he was a slow-moving, 400-pound robot with a penchant for snapping hundreds of photos a minute without people’s permission, and this was San Francisco’s Mission District in 2017.

What could go wrong?

Quite a bit, as it turns out.

In the past month, his

first on the job, “K-9 — a 5-foot-tall, 3-foot-wide K5 Autonomous Data Machine that can be rented for $6 an hour from Silicon Valley startup Knightscope — was battered with barbecue sauce, allegedly smeared with feces, covered by a tarp and nearly toppled by an attacker.

As if those incidents weren’t bad enough, K-9 was also accused of discriminating against homeless people who had taken up refuge on the sidewalks he was assigned to patrol. It was those troubling allegations, which went viral this week, that sparked public outrage and prompted K-9’s employers — the San Francisco chapter of the animal rescue group SPCA — to pull the plug on their newly minted robot security pilot

program.

“Effective immediately, the San Francisco SPCA has suspended its security robot pilot program,” Jennifer Scarlett, the organization’s president, wrote in a statement emailed to The Washington Post on Thursday. “We piloted the robot program in an effort to improve the security around our campus and to create a safe atmosphere for staff, volunteers, clients and animals. Clearly, it backfired.”

SPCA officials said the robot was hired to patrol the parking lot and sidewalk outside the animal shelter after the building had been broken into twice and employees had become fed up with harassment and catcalls.

The robot, they said, would be able to snap photos,

record security footage, and then notify shelter employees or police during an emergency.

The backlash began after an animal shelter spokeswoman, in an interview with the San Francisco Business Times this week, seemed to suggest that the robot was an effective tool for eliminating the homeless encampments outside the SPCA, leading to a sudden reduction in crime.

Nevertheless, a public outcry, complete with calls for the robot’s destruction, quickly ensued. A flurry of attention-grabbing headlines implied that the robot was specifically employed to target the homeless.

“Robot wages war on the homeless,” a particularly inflammatory Newsweek headline read.

technology for Facebook

By The Washington Post

Facebook will let you know when someone posts a photo of you — even if you aren’t tagged in it — becoming the latest tech giant to add more facial recognition technology into users’ everyday lives.

The new feature, which Facebook frames as a control measure for a user’s image, is one of three new applications of facial recognition technology the company announced Tuesday.

These new additions expand on how Facebook already uses facial recognition, which is primarily through “tag suggestions” — a feature started in 2010 that suggests which of your friends should be

tagged in photos that you upload to the site. If you’ve already opted out of that feature, you will also be automatically opted out of the new facial recognition features.

But Facebook is putting all of these features under one setting, meaning that if you want the notifications about where your face appears on friends’ accounts or strangers’ accounts, then you’ll also have to be all right with automatic tagging.

The company will also tell you when anyone — friend or not — uses a photo of you in their profile picture. This is a move to curb impersonations, which are already prohibited but can be difficult to find.
