Peters: breast cancer put life in perspective

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com DELPHOSCancer is a word that carries heavy implications all of which are frightening. So when Laura Peters was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, she was surprised that she never felt her life was in danger. When youre first diagnosed, theres a numbing effect. The world stops and then you have to put everything into perspective, she said. Since then, Ive had people ask me if I was ever afraid I was going to die. To be honest, I never felt that way. It never crossed my mind. Breast cancer isnt considered a life-threatening disease anymore. Theyre calling it a chronic illness. Early detection is still the best thing. Peters was diagnosed with stage 2 infiltrating ductal carcinoma, the most common type of breast cancer. After the lumpectomy, Peters says all her treatments were preventative. I had moved my yearly mammograms to October and last year when I went in, the girl who examined me thought she felt something, she said. My mammogram was on Oct. 27 of last year and on Nov. 8, I was diagnosed. After my surgery, I had four sessions of what they call AC chemotherapy. Then I did 12 treatments of Taxol. Dr. Gerad at St. Ritas does those weekly. After that, I did 33 daily treatments of radiation and the ride over to the hospital actually took longer than the treatments. I was there maybe 15 minutes and that includes getting everything ready. I think the radiation itself By STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com took 30-40 seconds and the last five treatments were about eight seconds. Its hard to nail down a date for when I was considered cancer-free because they tell you that you start to recover the day youre diagnosed, she continued. My treatments were all preventative. They removed the problem with the surgery, so everything after that was just to make sure it didnt go anywhere else and to keep it from coming back. Aug. 20 was my last treatment. Even though cancer treatments are nothing to look forward to, Peters says she feels fortunate things went as well as they did. Some people have a terrible time of it with infections and fevers, she said. I mean, with the first four treatments I would be up around midnight sick to my stomach but then I was able to fall back asleep. I was very fortunate that I didnt have to deal with all of that. Peters said the worst part of the whole experience was losing her hair. Most people werent even aware that I was wearing a wig, she said. I got several compliments with people saying things like, Oh, you got your hair highlighted! I never knew what to say with things like that because you dont want to embarrass them by saying its a wig. Once Peters got past the shock, she began to see the silver lining. Its so low-maintenance. All I do when I get out of the shower is run a towel over it and run a comb through it and Im done, she said. I got to sleep

Issue 2: The Common Sense Citizens Initiative

DELPHOS Only 11 days remain before We the People decide the fate of the nation. This general election includes a decision by Ohio voters on Issue 2, a bill highly-scrutinized and/or analyzed by both parties. Issue 2 creates a complex system for redistricting where the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court is charged with choosing by lot a panel of eight Ohio Court of Appeals judges. This panel then designates 42 individuals to potentially serve on the newly-created Ohio Citizens Independent Redistricting Commission. Then, the leaders of the Ohio House of Representatives from each major party are presented with the opportunity to pare down the potential list to 24. The panel of Appeals judges then chooses, by lot, nine members from the list of 24 to actually serve on the commission. This 9-member panel then selects three more members to serve on the commission from the remaining candidates not selected by the judges.

in an extra half hour because I didnt have to do anything with it. Some people have asked me if Im going to keep it short. It was horrible at first but now I kind of like it. Peters says her experience has made her realize what a great support system she has. My relationships with my husband and my daughters have grown so much closer, she said. My daughters Rachel and Michelle designed a shirt for me. They both live out of town and that was their way of helping me get through it. My husband Chuck was really good about not letting me over-do things around the house. I havent picked up the sweeper in a year. You really learn who your true friends are when you go through something like this, she added. I received so many notes from people I dont even really talk to. Even at St. Ritas, the nurses and staff were wonderful, kind, caring, compassionate. The second time I went in there they all knew me by name. Youre not just another number to them. Peters, who works as assistant treasurer for Delphos City Schools, says she kept working throughout her treatment. I would come in and work Stacy Taff photo in the mornings and then go to my treatment. Sometimes, I Breast cancer survivor Laura Peters wears the T-shirt wouldnt come in the day after, her daughters designed for her after she was diagnosed just to rest and keep from running myself down, she said. last year.

Ive just tried to get through the rest can wait. survivor and shes been an it. There were things I missed through their elected representatives. 2. Commission members are not accountable to Ohio taxpayers or their elected representatives; Issue 2 provides no means for them to be removed. It also gives no authority to government watchdogs such as the Ohio Inspector General or the Ohio Ethics Commission to investigate unethical and illegal behavior by commission members or their staff. 3. Issue 2 creates a large government bureaucracy, overseen by unelected czars who set their own pay and budget. It allows commission members to spend as much as they demand on permanent staff, consultants, lawyers and operating costs with no accountability to taxpayers or their elected representatives. 4. Issue 2 is so poorly written that it does not allow for the removal of commission members for any reason even if they commit a crime. However, it allows commission appointees to be chosen in secret, shielding the selection process from public scrutiny and subjecting it to See ISSUE 2, page 2

This 12-person commission is then charged with developing the legislative districts for the Ohio House of Representatives, Ohio Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. If they fail to come up with a plan for new legislative boundaries, the Ohio Supreme Court could be charged with adopting a plan. The opposition, Protect Your Vote, believes the right to vote is being threatened and as a voter, there are five things one needs to know: 1. Issue 2 changes the Ohio Constitution to create a permanent taxpayer-funded bureaucratic commission that is accountable to no one. It removes the right of Ohio voters to have a voice in determining state legislative and Congressional district lines

For The Record Issue 2

(Continued from page 1) political influence. This unlimited and untested new bureaucracy would be locked into the Ohio Constitution; if this plan does not work, it would be extremely difficult for Ohioans to change, amend or repeal. 5. Issue 2 does not take politics out of the redistricting process; it lacks a requirement that commission decisions be made with a bi-partisan, super-majority vote, allowing for bitter partisan fights, political gridlock and 1-party control. Issue 2 has raised strong objections from the Ohio State Bar Association and Ohio appeals court judges for politicizing the states impartial judiciary; under the plan, Ohio appellate court judges will be lobbied by special interests and political parties to pick certain commission members, who then become very powerful political players and also be subject to strong influence from special interests. In addition, most Ohioans would be prohibited from serving on the commission due to some unforeseen circumstance, including a lapse in voting history or negative employment record of a family member. Consider these examples: A law-abiding, taxpaying Ohio citizen whose son or daughter earned a paid internship with a state or federal elected official is out. A convicted felon is in. Lobbyists are out and their employers are in. Ohioans who have donated $5,000 or more to political campaigns or parties over two years nationally are out. Someone who contributed $4,999 is in. An individual who gave $5,000 or more of their personal income to political campaigns or parties over two years is out. An individual who directs a political action committee that gave $5,000 or more is in. The proponents, Voters First, believe the amendment will create a fair, bi-partisan commission which will fix redistricting abuse in Ohio. 1. Citizens, not politicians: Instead of the current procedures (in which politicians draw district boundaries that unfairly favor their own party and/or protect incumbents), a 12-member Citizens Commission will create the districts; any member of the public can submit a plan for consideration. 2. Openness and transparency: All meetings, records, communications and draft plans of the commission must be open to the public; no more back-room deals. 3. Balance and impartiality: The commission will for

include equal numbers of Republicans, Democrats and Independents and the approval of at least seven of the 12 members will be required for the adoption of any plan. This will ensure that the final plan fairly represents all Ohioans, not just those currently in power. 4. Community representation: Districts will be created that are geographically compact and minimize the division of counties, townships, municipalities and wards between different districts. 5. Accountability and competitive districts: Politically-balanced districts will be created, rather than safe districts which make it difficult or impossible for voters to hold elected officials accountable. 6. Fairness: To the greatest extent possible, the share of districts leaning toward a party will reflect the political preferences of the voters of Ohio. Voters First is led by the League of Women Voters and supported by a broad coalition of groups and people from across Ohio. It was created to take the power over drawing congressional and legislative districts out of the hands of the politicians and put it in the hands of the people.

US economic growth up to 2 pct. rate in Q3

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press homebuilding and renovations increased at an annual rate of more than 14 percent. And federal spending surged, mainly because of the sharpest increase in defense spending in more than three years. Growth was held back by the first drop in exports in more than three years and flat business investment in equipment and software. The economy was also slowed by the severe drought last summer in the Midwest. The drought cut agriculture stockpiles and reduced growth by nearly a half-point. The governments report covers gross domestic product. GDP measures the nations total output of goods and services from restaurant meals and haircuts to airplanes, appliances and highways. It was the governments first of three estimates of growth for the July-September quarter. And it sketched a picture thats been familiar all year: The economy is growing at a tepid rate, slowed by high unemployment and corporate anxiety over an unresolved budget crisis and a slowing global economy. While growth remains modest, the factors supporting

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Romney pressed on abortion question

Moderately confused

DEFIANCE (AP) Republican Mitt Romney is renewing his focus on the nations economy while facing continued pressure to break his silence on a GOP Senate candidates statement that any pregnancy resulting from rape is something God intended. As Election Day looms less than two weeks away, the Republican presidential contender is also trying to move past new questions about his role in a key supporters divorce. Court documents released Thursday reveal that Romney created a special class of company stock for Staples founder Tom Stembergs then-wife as a favor. Romney has so far ignored the criticism and is instead accusing President Barack Obama of playing partisan politics in an incredibly shrinking campaign. This campaign is growing. The momentum is building. Were taking back America, Romney told 12,000 supporters in Ohio late Thursday, the same night that media trackers confirmed the Republicans campaign was expanding its television advertising into Minnesota. The economy was to play prominently in the presidential contest today. As Obama takes a break from the campaign trail, Romney was to deliver what his campaign billed as a significant economic address in swing state Iowa. While he was not expected to break new ground, his campaign said Romney would use the speech to help crystalize the differences between each candidates economic approach on the same day the government issues its final report on GDP growth before the Nov. 6 election. The report set for release at 8:30 a.m. was expected to show that growth picked up only slightly in the third quarter. Tepid growth has given Romney an opening to challenge Obamas assessment that the economy is moving in the right direction. Obama arrived back in Washington late Thursday following a 40-hour battleground state blitz that took him to eight states. He was taking a brief break from the campaign trail today and planned to spend much of the day at the White House. But the Democratic campaign wasnt ceding the spotlight to Romney. Obama had a series of interviews scheduled, including several with local television stations in swing states. And the campaign announced today the president will travel next week to Colorado, Wisconsin and Ohio for a series of campaign rallies and events. The president was also using a trio of national interviews to reach key constituencies, including an MTV interview aimed at rallying the youth vote and a sit-down with American Urban Radio Networks, which has a largely black audience. The president was also scheduled to talk with Michael Smerconish, the conservativeleaning radio host who backed Obama in the 2008 election.

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy grew at a slightly faster 2 percent annual rate from July through September, buoyed by more spending by consumers and the federal government. Growth accelerated from the 1.3 percent rate in the April-June quarter, the Commerce Department said today. The report is the last snapshot of economic growth before Americans choose a president in 11 days. The pickup in growth could lend weight to President Barack Obamas message that the economy is improving. Still, growth remains too weak to rapidly boost hiring. And the 1.74 percent annual growth rate for the first nine months of 2012 trails last years 1.8 percent growth a point that Republican nominee Mitt Romney might emphasize. The economy grew faster last quarter because consumer spending rose at a 2 percent annual rate, up from a 1.5 percent rate in the second quarter. Spending on

Panetta: US lacked early info on Benghazi attack

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press Panetta was referring to Gen. Carter Ham, the head of U.S. Africa Command, and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In a letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner questioned whether the White House considered military options during or immediately after the attack, and he questioned what the president knew about security threats in the country. He said that the national debate over the incident shows that Americans are concerned and frustrated about the administrations response to the attack. Can you explain what options were presented to you or your staff, and why it appears assets were not allowed to be pre-positioned, let alone utilized? If these reports are accurate, the artificial constraint on the range of options at your disposal would be deeply troubling, Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack, which has become a heated campaign issue less than two weeks before the election. Republicans have criticized the Obama administrations failure to more quickly acknowledge that intelligence suggested very early on that it was a planned Television is broadcast and radio is narrowcast, so its much easier for campaigns to track a specific demographic on radio, said Marvin Overby, a political science professor at the University of Missouri who studies radio advertising in campaigns. Unlike TV, which many people watch on DVR and skip through ads, people listen to radio at work or in their car and are a more captive audience. Campaigns tend to deliver tougher, more specific messages through radio than they do in television ads, which are widely aired and easy for the opposing campaign to see and respond to. Radio is where campaigns throw out red meat they can be more raw and more inflammatory, Overby said. Radio is a campaigns purest form of micro-targeting, best used to reach base voters, not undecided voters, strategists said. Republicans typically place ads on Christian and country music stations and on talk radio, while Democrats make heavy use of urban and Hispanic radio and pop stations to reach younger voters. Both sides are boosting their presence on Pandora, the Internet radio site where listeners build their

the economy have changed. Exports and business investment drove growth for most of the recovery, but are now fading. Meanwhile, consumer spending has ticked up. And housing is adding to growth after a six-year slump. Consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity. Businesses have grown more cautious since spring, in part because customer demand has remained modest and exports have declined as the global economy has slowed. Many companies worry that their overseas sales could dampen further if recession spreads throughout Europe and growth slows further in China, India and other developing countries. Businesses also fear the tax increases and government spending cuts that will kick in next year if Congress doesnt reach a budget deal. Since the recovery from the Great Recession began in June 2009, the U.S. economy has grown at the slowest rate of any recovery in the post-World War II period. And economists think growth will remain sluggish at least through the first half of 2013.

WASHINGTON The U.S. military did not quickly intervene during the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya last month because military leaders did not have adequate intelligence information and felt they should not put American forces at risk, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday. In his most extensive comments to date on the unfolding controversy surrounding the attack in Benghazi, Panetta said U.S. forces were on heightened alert because of the anniversary of 9/11 and prepared to respond. But, he said, the attack happened over a few hours and was over before the U.S. had the chance to know what was really occurring. (The) basic principle is that you dont deploy forces into harms way without knowing whats going on; without having some realtime information about whats taking place, Panetta told Pentagon reporters. And as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation. By BETH FOUHY The Associated Press

Campaigns deploy radio ads to gin up base voters

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Drivers listening to adult contemporary radio along Interstate 4 in central Florida are hearing ads like this: President Obama raised taxes on Floridas small businesses, and his defense cuts will weaken our military and put thousands more Florida families out of work. Mitt Romney has a better vision for America. Voters tuning into Top 40 stations in Cleveland or Denver are hearing ads like this: Mitt Romneys got two degrees from Harvard but wants to cut education funding? Says class sizes dont matter? Come on, man. ... President Obama gets it. Radio ads, an important component of a presidential candidates media strategy, are bombarding voters in battleground states much the way such political commercials swamp television. The campaigns and allied independent groups have spent some $20.8 million on radio so far much less than the $1 billion they are projected to pour into television ads but a healthy investment in boosting turnout among their most loyal supporters.

terrorist attack, rather than spontaneous violence erupting out of protests over an anti-Muslim film. House and Senate Republicans as well as GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney have criticized President Barack Obama and administration officials over the response to the attack and whether officials failed to provide enough security at the consulate. And there have been ongoing questions about whether there should have been additional military forces sent to the consulate immediately after it became clear that the Americans were under attack. As the events were unfolding, the Pentagon began to move special operations forces from Europe to Sigonella Naval Air Station in Sicily. U.S. aircraft routinely fly in and out of Sigonella and there are also fighter jets based in Aviano, Italy. But while the U.S. military was at a heightened state of alert because of 9/11, there were no American forces poised and ready to move immediately into Benghazi when the attack began. Also, the Pentagon would not send forces or aircraft into Libya a sovereign country without a request from the State Department and the knowledge or consent of the host nation. own channels based on their musical preferences. Radio is much more niche than TV every radio station is No. 1 in something, Republican radio buyer Alex Patton said. If youre doing the medium right, its got to be very targeted to the niche. A recent radio ad for President Barack Obama in battleground states featured a student named Ronnie Mosley, an urban studies major at historically black Morehouse College in Georgia. With Pell Grants, help on student loans and health care reform, President Obama has really given me a shot at the American dream, Mosley says in the ad, airing on radio stations in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Both campaigns are advertising heavily on adult contemporary stations to reach women, the campaigns most coveted group of voters. In Ohio, the campaigns top battleground, the Romney campaign made a pitch to women in suburban areas outside Cleveland with a testimonial from former Ohio Sen. George Voinovich, a popular moderate Republican in the state.

Stern to retire as NBA Commissioner in 2014

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK David Stern took the NBA around the globe in nearly three decades as commissioner, turning what was a secondrate league into a projected $5-billion-a-year industry. Now, confident a worthy successor is in place with a labor deal that will ensure the games continued growth, Stern is ready to stay home. Stern will retire as commissioner Feb. 1, 2014, 30 years to the day after taking charge of the league, ending one of the most successful and impactful careers in sports history. He will be replaced by Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver. I dont know what else to say other than to recite what I told the owners yesterday in executive session, Stern said Thursday during a press conference after the board of governors meetings. I told them that its been a great run, it will continue for another 15 months, that the league is in, I think, terrific condition. Stern is the one who got it there, turning a league with little-to-no TV presence the NBA Finals were on tape delay in the early 1980s into one thats televised live in 215 countries and is pro sports leader in digital and social media. He has been perhaps the model sports commissioner. Name an important policy in the NBA drug testing, salary cap, even a dress code and Stern had a hand in it. A lawyer by trade, he was a fearless negotiator against players and referees but also their biggest defender any time he felt they were unfairly criticized.

OHSAA committee honors 29 schools

Prestigious Harold A. Meyer Award goes to 24 schools
The Delphos Herald
COLUMBUS The Ohio High School Athletic Association Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity (SEI) Committee has announced that 29 member schools have been selected to receive school sportsmanship awards for the 2011-12 academic year. The 29 schools met the Respect the Game Challenge, while 24 of those schools also earned the prestigious Harold A. Meyer Award. The list of recipients was accepted by the OHSAA Board of Directors at its regularly scheduled meeting last Oct. 18. This is the second year the OHSAAs revised 3-tiered process for the Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity school awards has been implemented. In order to meet the Respect the Game Challenge, schools must complete a comprehensive checklist that confirms the various sportsmanship, ethics and integrity programs within their school. Besides developing a well-planned educational program on sportsmanship, the form reminds schools to develop a comprehensive studentathlete campaign; a coaches campaign; a student body, student support group, parents and fan campaign; and a public address announcers campaign. Schools that have met the challenge will receive a Respect The Game banner that can be displayed in a prominent area of the school. Meeting the challenge is the precursor to being considered for the Harold A. Meyer Award. That award, named in honor of the late OHSAA commissioner from 1969-77, is presented to schools that demonstrate via a PowerPoint presentation they have completed an 8-part program that promotes sportsmanship, ethics and integrity in their schools

OHSAA second season begins next Friday, so theres a lot on the line tonight for Blue Jay coach Todd Schulte versus the Wildcats (7-2, 5-2 MAC). This is a good football team that has only lost to Coldwater and St. Henry. Two things concern me, Schulte began. One is their overall size. They have good size up front on both sides of the ball and they have size in their two main receivers: Devon Poeppelman and Ethan Wolf; both are very athletic and make things happen after the catch. The second thing is speed in their skill players, especially their two running backs: Troy Kauffman and Korey Schulte; they arent big running backs but they are also fast and athletic. Adam Niemeyer returns as the quarterback and he can do it with both his arm and his legs. The defense is led by a pair of big defensive tackles but overall, they really run well to the football. Tyler Jettinghoff (160 rushes, 1,287 yards, 15 scores; 15 receptions, 167 yards, 1) tops the offense 22.3 points and 289 yards (226.4 rushing) per game for the Blue Jays (6-3, 5-2 MAC), along with Luke MacLennan (56 rushes, 370 yards, 4), Jake Hays (6 grabs, 112 yards, 1), Andrew Metzger (6 for 88, 1; 22 points as placekicker), Jared Knebel (6 for 75), Mark Boggs (44of-104 passing, 553 yards, 3 TDs, 9 picks) and guard Seth Bockey (8 pancake blocks). The defense ceding 13.1

points, 241.6 yards (140.2 rushing) per is led by Brent Schwinnen (49 solos, 32 assists), Cody Looser (46 and 34), Kody White (34 and 27), Ben Youngpeter (34 and 20), Troy Warnecke (28 and 25; 30 punts, 33.6-yard average), Metzger (33 and 15; 3 picks), Hays (32 and 15) and Brock Bonifas (27 and 19; 7 quarterback harrassments). For us, it comes to offense and establishing the run; we will need to get some movement up front to get those yards and control the football. At the same time, our passing game needs to keep playing as it has been: hitting 50-60 of our passes; and take pressure off the running game, he continued. Defensively, we cannot allow Niemeyer to sit back there in the pocket and see the field. If that happens, it will be a long night for our defensive backs. We have to pressure him and make him uncomfortable. Jays rallied from a 3-0 halftime deficit to New Bremen to score the final 34 points in the rain at Stadium Park. Im not sure if it was coming off a big win against Versailles the week before and everybody talking playoffs or what as to why we played poorly the first half. Whatever the reason, we did not execute very well the first half, Schulte added. At the half, we didnt make many adjustments at all but focused on simple execution; we just had to play as we are capable of. We also simply had to hang onto the football.

Jimmy Haslam officially owns the Cleveland Browns

By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press BEREA The Cleveland Browns officially belong to Jimmy Haslam. His $1.05 billion purchase of the NFL franchise from Randy Lerner was closed Thursday, just nine days after the sale was approved by the leagues owners. Haslam now owns 70 percent of the team and the truck stop magnate will get the other 30 percent from Lerner in four years. Haslam watched practice and spent several minutes chatting with coach Pat Shurmur as the Browns (1-6) continued preparing for Sundays home game against the San Diego Chargers. New Browns CEO Joe Banner did not begin his position as expected because he went to Boston to be with his ill father, a team spokesman said. Banner spent 19 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, the last 12 as team president. Earlier this week, outgoing president Mike Holmgren had high praise for Haslam, who built his fortune with Pilot Flying J and still has a minority ownership stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jimmy will bring a great enthusiasm, Holmgren said. Hes out front, hes enthusiastic and he has a lot of energy. He wants this to be right, he wants this to go well and hes committed to do that. I dont think there have been many things in his life where he has committed to it that hasnt happened. I think its a wonderful thing for the city of Cleveland and a great thing for the Browns organization. Holmgren is also familiar with Banner, who will oversee the Browns day-to-day football operation. Ive known Joe Banner for a long time, Holmgren added. When he and Jeffrey Lurie came and Jeffrey bought the Philadelphia Eagles and Joe became the president there my good friend Andy Reid became the coach. Weve been very close over the years. Holmgren has not committed to staying with the Browns for the remainder of the season to help with the

the heavy lifting to Silver by last year but was the one absorbing the criticism during the lockout for the second shortened season in his tenure. He sometimes appeared worn down during the negotiations, even missing one critical bargaining session while sick, but insists hes got plenty of energy to keep working now. I feel great, Stern said. Im enjoying my job but Im looking forward to doing some other things. Im stepping down, Im not retiring. Stern just recently returned from China, Germany and Italy and plans another overseas trip next season. He will remain an adviser to the league in retirement on international matters. The league has reported huge increases in ticket and merchandise sales,and TV ratings are at an all-time high. Last seasons lockout, the second time the league lost games to a work stoppage, hardly made a dent in the leagues business or in fans interest. But even for Stern, business has always taken a back seat to basketball. Hes sought changes to improve the product on the court, such as the elimination of isolation play that bored him, to implementing penalties that go into effect this season for flopping. For the most part its been a series of extraordinary experiences and enormous putting together of pieces of a puzzle and it goes on forever, Stern continued. And there will always be another piece of the puzzle and so the question is at what point do you decide that, let someone else do it? Thats the point that Im at now. Silver, who served a variety of positions before becoming deputy commissioner, was the lead negotiator during the lockout and Stern has relied more heavily on him in recent years, even turning to Silver to answer questions on tougher topics. Stern said he wouldnt leave until he knew there was a successor ready and he has repeatedly added Silver is ready for that role, noting he would always remain available to take a call and help the league. Life is a journey and its been a spectacular journey, Stern added. Each step along the way there are things that you have to do, things that you maybe wish you hadnt done. But I dont keep that list and so Im totally pleased and Im particularly pleased with the transition of which were now embarking.

and communities. The applications and presentations were judged by students from Ohio Dominican University, in collaboration with the OHSAA staff. First-year winners receive a banner to hang in a prominent area of their school. Schools that had previously received the award were presented with the banner the first year they won and subsequently receive the numerals corresponding to the year(s) the award has been earned. The Meyer Award has been presented every year since 1992 and Bay Village Bay is the only high school that has won the award every year since its inauguration. The last tier of the SEI awards is the Commissioners Award for Outstanding Sportsmanship. The committee is still determining which schools will receive this award but finalists come from the Meyer Award entrees that submitted a public service announcement (PSA). The winners of the Commissioners Award will be honored at the state basketball tournament. The following is the list of schools that have been selected for the Respect the Game Challenge and the Harold A. Meyer Award for 2011-12:

NOTES: Browns DT Ahtyba Rubin sat out practice for the second straight day with an injured calf. Rubin returned to the lineup last week at Indianapolis after missing one game but played only seven snaps and left in the second quarter. ... Browns RB Trent Richardson was limited in practice with a rib injury. Richardson is expected to play Sunday and Shurmur said the rookie has done more in practice this week than a week ago. Richardson gained just 8 yards on eight carries before being benched against the Colts.

With small ball, Giants win 2-0 for 2-0 WS lead

By BEN WALKER The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Long ball one night, a Giant dose of small ball the next. Two wins in two games and suddenly San Francisco doesnt need to dig itself out of a postseason hole for a change. Madison Bumgarner shut down the Detroit Tigers for seven innings, then the Giants took advantage of a bunt that stayed fair to eke out the goahead run in a 2-0 win Thursday night for a 2-0 edge in the World Series. Gregor Blancos single trickled to a stop inches fair on the infield dirt, setting up Brandon Crawfords runscoring double-play grounder in the seventh. Hunter Pence added a sacrifice fly in the eighth, which was plenty for these masters of the October comeback. It definitely feels a whole lot better than having our backs against the wall, Bumgarner said. But you cant relax. Weve got to keep pushing. Game 3 will be Saturday night in Detroit and for once, the Giants arent playing from behind. They overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat Cincinnati in the best-of-5 division series and escaped a 3-1 hole against St. Louis in the NLCS. A day after Pablo Sandoval homered three times, the favored Tigers wondered what other way they could lose. Prince Fielder was thrown out at the plate by a hair and moments later, pitcher Doug Fister was struck squarely in the head by Blancos line drive, a ball hit so hard that it caromed into shallow center field. They asked me the typical concussion questions, Fister said. Im not concerned. I have a minor bump. According to my dad, my whole life, his saying has always been if I got hit in the head, Id be OK. Thats how I take it. The 6-8 Fister managed to stay on the mound and even excelled. Bumgarner more than matched him, however, allowing just two hits before the San Francisco bullpen closed it out before another pulsating crowd. Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect eighth and Sergio Romo worked the ninth for a save in the combined 2-hitter, leaving Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and his team in a huge hole heading back to Comerica Park. Anibal Sanchez will start for the Tigers against Ryan Vogelsong in Detroit. Several dozen members of the Giants family came onto the field at AT&T Park well after the final out to pose for pictures, wanting to savor what they hope is the Giants last home game of the year. Giants second baseman Marco Blanco celebrated a single that rolled 45 feet, if that. I was joking with (coach) Roberto Kelly when I got to first base, We practiced that today, Blanco recalled. That was a perfect bunt. I wasnt really trying to do that. I think it was just meant to be and Im thankful that I did it. The Tigers looked rusty at the plate, maybe still lost following a 5-day layoff after an ALCS sweep of the Yankees. Cabrera hopped up in frustration after Sandoval snared his line drive to third. Well, what are you going to do about it? Tigers manager Jim Leyland asked. We got two hits tonight. Im certainly not going to sit up here and rip my offense because last night I thought we had some pretty good swings. Cabrera hit a bullet tonight. Bumgarner had something to do with the Tigers troubles, too. Bumped from the NLCS rotation after two poor postseason starts, he returned with a flourish. The left-hander struck out eight and looked as sharp as he did in the 2010 World Series when, as a 21-year-old rookie, he stopped Texas in Game 4 on the way to a championship. Along with his bunt, Blanco might have hit the hardest ball of the game the liner that nailed Fister in the second inning. The ball struck the right side of his head and deflected on the fly to shallow center field. Fister showed no visible effect from the blow in fact, some in the crowd wondered whether the ball perhaps glanced off his glove because Fister stayed on his feet. Only when fans saw replays did groans echo around the ballpark. Leyland, pitching coach Jeff Jones and a trainer went to the mound and Fister insisted on staying in the game. He walked the next batter to load the bases with two outs, but retired Bumgarner on a popup, starting a streak of 12 straight hitters he set down. Well, if youd have been out there, it was something to see, Leyland said. Because the trainer was saying, Where are you? San Francisco. What game is it? Game No. 2. I dont want to make light of it but it was kind of comical really because Doug was right on with everything. But I was scared to death when it happened. The game remained scoreless until the seventh, right after Colin Hanks, the son of actor Tom Hanks a former peanut vendor at the nearby Oakland Coliseum sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game on the field. Pence led off with a single and Fister departed, getting lots of hugs in the dugout. Rookie reliever Drew Smyly walked Brandon Belt on a full-count pitch and Blancos bunt loaded the bases with no outs. The Tigers kept their infield back up the middle and had no play at the plate on Crawfords bouncer. We felt like we played double-play depth because we felt like we couldnt give them two runs. Thats why we did that and we got the double play, Leyland said. To be honest with you, we were absolutely thrilled to come out of that inning with one run. Absolutely thrilled. I mean, we had to score anyway. Pence added the insurance run the next inning with his fly ball off Octavio Dotel. Of the 52 teams to take a

Martin, Buccaneers race past Vikings

By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press

The Herald 7

2-0 lead in the World Series, 41 have gone on to win the title. That includes 14 of the last 15 teams with that advantage. Fielder and the Tigers came up inches short of taking an early lead, the result of yet another alert play by Scutaro and a dubious decision by third-base coach Gene Lamont. Fielder was hit by a pitch to lead off the second, Delmon Young followed with a double and when the ball rattled around in left field, Lamont waved the burly slugger home. Even with no outs, Lamont sent him. Scutaro, in the middle of every big play for the Giants this month, dashed across the diamond, caught Blancos relay and unleashed a strong throw to the plate. All-Star catcher Buster Posey made a swipe tag to Fielders backside, just as the Tigers star slid home. Umpire Dan Iassogna had a clear look and made a demonstrative call out! Fielder immediately popped up from his slide and pleaded his case with two hands, saying he didnt feel the tag. Leyland rushed out and pointed to the plate. At second base, Young yelled, No! But even if there was replay review, it wouldnt have helped the Tigers. Because TV replays showed Iassogna, working his first plate job in a World Series, got it right. There was no dispute that Fister somehow avoided a serious injury moments later. Among those who winced was Oakland pitcher Brandon McCarthy, who sustained a skull fracture and brain contusion after being hit by a line drive last month. Im not watching but did just see the replay. Certainly hope hes ok, McCarthy tweeted.
NOTES: Bumgarner struck out Austin Jackson and Omar Infante to start the game. Two other Giants fanned the first two batters in a Series game: Christy Mathewson (1905) and Carl Hubbell (1933). ... Bumgarner picked off Infante at first base to end the fourth. Infante made a break for second and, like Fielder earlier, came up short with his slide. ... Scutaro was the only Giants hitter to have previously faced Fister. ... Posey has a hit in all seven World Series games in his career.

Knaus salvages Kansas to keep Johnson in hunt

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Chad Knaus was as specific as he could be as he barked out orders from the pit box at Kansas Speedway. Jimmie Johnson had just led 44 laps around Kansas Speedway, pitted under a green flag and was trying to work his way through traffic when his championship chances were nearly derailed. He spun by himself, hit the wall and ruined a potentially race-winning car. Knaus refused to throw away the day. He called Johnson to pit road to take a look at the No. 48 Chevrolet and methodically called out the play-by-play required for the crew to get the car back on the track and keep the team in the hunt for the Sprint Cup Championship. I knew he would make it sound better than it really was, said Johnson, quarterbacking the situation. Knaus ordered every Hendrick Motorsports crew member over the wall and take Bondo filler with them. He addressed certain areas of the car first: hit it with a hammer! he barked, right there, between the o and the w! he pointed toward the Lowes logo. On and on it went, through at least a half-dozen stops on pit road over two caution periods. The crew worked in quick bursts so Johnson could rejoin the field as it passed by under caution, preventing him from falling a lap down. When it was time to go racing again, Knaus assured Johnson that the car which had thick black tape covering much of the back and the window was good to go. Theres nothing wrong with that thing. Nothing, Knaus radioed. You just might have a little trouble looking out the back window. And there wasnt anything wrong with it the rest of the race. Johnson drove the battered car to a ninthplace finish, one spot behind series leader Brad Keselowski to keep the Chase for the Cup standings unchanged. He went into Sundays race trailing Keselowski by seven points and left with that margin intact.

MINNEAPOLIS Traveling to Minnesota to play on a Thursday night was supposed to be tough for Tampa Bay. Rookie Doug Martin ran around the field as if he didnt want to leave. Martin racked up 214 total yards including a career-high 135 rushing and two touchdowns and the Buccaneers romped to a 36-17 victory to hand the Vikings their first home loss this season. It was pretty fun. Im not going to lie, said Martin, who took a screen pass 64 yards for a score, one of Josh Freemans three touchdown passes, to give Tampa Bay (3-4) a 27-10 lead 1:21 into the second half. Then Martin, the first-round draft pick from Boise State, capped a drive of more than 9 minutes with a 1-yard muscle into the end zone midway through the fourth quarter. Adrian Peterson had a season-long 64-yard run for a score that brought the Vikings (5-3) to 30-17 but his lost fumble in Minnesota territory in the second quarter led directly to a touchdown. It can get frustrating sometimes but you cant show that during the game. Youve got to stay focused, stay resilient, Peterson said. I feel like we did that but we just werent able to continue with it and stay on a roll with it. The Bucs, the second visiting team to win on a Thursday night in seven games this season, revived their struggling pass rush with three sacks and flustered Christian Ponder with a heavy dose of blitzes. Ponder finished 19-for-35 for 251 yards, one touchdown and a late interception. With a 13-point lead, just trying to keep that clock running as quickly as possible, the Bucs couldve gone conservative but refused to settle for a punt. Starting at their own 13 with 1:12 left in the third quarter, they plowed their way up the field Freeman completed four third-and-long passes and finished off the game with Martins third-andgoal touchdown run with 7:03 remaining. Freeman went 19-for36 for 262 yards and, most importantly, no turnovers. Mike Williams had one of the touchdowns and 68 yards on six receptions and the Bucs held the ball for nearly 38 of the 60 minutes. With two games apiece against division rivals Chicago and Green Bay, plus road trips to Seattle and Houston in the second half of their schedule, the Vikings have quite

the challenge waiting for them and their strong start after Thanksgiving. They faced an important test in this second half, too, after taking the clear advantage they had as the home team in this matchup and handing it over to the Buccaneers. There are so few opportunities in the NFL to ride that momentum and weve got to take advantage of them, Ponder said. Their first three possessions were 3-and-outs, Ponder started 0-for-5, Jerome Simpson lost a fumble after a short catch near midfield. The Bucs turned that into the second of Connor Barths three field goals and took a 13-0 lead. Harvin finally gave the Vikings some life by grabbing a screen pass for a 32-yard gain and then pivoting to haul in sideline pass over his shoulder for an 18-yard touchdown catch. But Peterson, who was having no trouble reaching the Tampa Bay secondary with almost every run through the line, had the ball stripped after a spin move by veteran cornerback Ronde Barber. The Bucs got the ball at the Minnesota 37 and Williams made a tricky catch in the corner of the end zone for a 3-yard score and a 20-7 lead. The Buccaneers won only two of new coach Greg Schianos first six games but all four of their losses were by seven points or less. So here was their chance to finally enjoy a comfortable victory, setting up a second half that was just as eventful as the first. Martin caught a screen pass and sped straight through the Vikings, escaping Chad Greenways tackle and not stopping until he reached the end zone. The Bucs used a 3-and-out by the Vikings to add three more points and stretch the lead to 30-10. Peterson made up for his earlier fumble, though, by matching Martins big play with one of his own, sprung by a pancake block from Simpson to reach the end zone and bring the Vikings back in it. But Tampa Bay, after blowing a 21-7 lead in losing to New Orleans last week, finished strong this time. Guys are getting more comfortable with what were doing and with each other, said Schiano, the former Rutgers coach. Were getting better and thats what youre supposed to do.
NOTES: Peterson finished with 123 yards on 15 carries. ... The Bucs are 4-13 in their history on the road in prime-time games. ... Harvin had 90 yards on seven catches. ... Tampa Bay has won six in a row in the series, last losing to Minnesota here in 2001.

The Associated Press BASEBALL SAN FRANCISCO Bud Selig is telling the Bay Area baseball teams and their fans to be patient. The commissioner is still working on the issue of territorial rights and determining whether the Oakland Athletics will be allowed to proceed with plans to build a new ballpark and relocate some 40 miles south to San Jose into the Giants territory in technology-rich Silicon Valley. Selig announced before Game 2 of the World Series that he has been in regular contact recently with his special committee appointed in March 2009 to evaluate the issue facing Northern Californias two majorleague clubs. He reiterated the As cant survive in their current venue in the aging Oakland Coliseum and need a new ballpark.

SPORTS BRIEFS
PRO HOCKEY NEW YORK The NHLs deadline for playing a full, 82-game season arrived with no new discussions between the league and its locked-out players. Without a new collective bargaining agreement that would end the leagues lockout of players on its 40th day, the NHL vowed to cut the season short. An announcement officially taking a full schedule out of play wasnt immediately planned. The upcoming outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star game could soon be in peril, too. The league has already canceled all 135 scheduled games through Nov. 1 but those could be rescheduled if a deal was reached by the end of Thursday and play started Nov. 2.

basketball players are taking advantage of the biggest shot of their life and earning a college diploma. The latest results from the NCAAs annual Graduation Success Rate showed a record 74 percent of Division I basketball players from the 2005-06 freshmen class left school with a degree, a 6-percentage point increase over the 1-year measurement from the class of 2004-05. Its a stunning turnaround for a sport that has traditionally lagged others in the closely watched report. Football Bowl Subdivision players also improved their scores by 1 percentage point in the 1-year snapshot, hitting 70 percent for the first time. The overall 4-year graduation rate, covering freshman classes from 2002-03 through 2005-06, was 80 percent, matching last years record high.

Early detection is your best protection

(Continued from Page 7) Johnson, a master at being able to block out the competition, said Hamlins public declarations dont bother him. Johnson pointed out that he often uses the (hashtag)sixpack on his own tweets in reference to his quest for a sixth championship, to make my fans feel and know thats where my head is. So I dont see anything wrong or bad with it. Martinsville is a great track for Johnson, who has six wins and 18 top-10s in 21 career starts. Although he hasnt won since spring of 2009, he led 111 laps in April and was en route to the victory until he was wrecked on the final restart. A year ago, he was passed by Tony Stewart on the final restart. Its pressure time, its go time, its all that stuff with four to go, he added.

Awareness is the first step in the fight against breast cancer. Van Wert County Hospital is proud to be one of only four hospitals in Ohio to offer Breast Specific Gamma Imaging or BSGI. This early stage breast cancer diagnostic tool helps your physician see what matters, especially in women with difficult-to-image breasts. BSGI is the next step after a questionable mammogram.

With the White House race nearing an end, its time for Americas political pundits to face that fact that millions of voters will in fact be worried about Mitt Romneys Mormon faith on Election Day. Many will be offended by what they believe are the intolerant, narrow teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on marriage. Others will be worried about Mormonisms history of opposing abortion rights. There really is a large group of people in America who wont vote for Mitt Romney for president because he is a Mormon, noted Weekly Standard editor Fred Barnes, in a recent Institute on Religion and Democracy lecture. Its a very large group and there is a name for them -- liberals. This isnt the God-and-politics story most media insiders wanted to talk about during the 2012 campaign, said Barnes, who also works as a commentator for Fox News. The religion hook this time around was supposed to be clashes between Romney and Trinitarian Christians who consider Mormonism at best a sect, or at worst, a theological cult with its own prophet, scriptures and unorthodox doctrines on the nature of God and other eternal matters. But a strange thing happened somewhere during the campaign. According

An update on anti-Mormon voters

TERRY MATTINGLY

Friday, October 26, 2012

The Herald 9

On Religion
to a number of political polls, the overwhelming majority of Christian conservatives quietly decided they could vote for the Republican nominee without endorsing his views on heaven, hell and the mysteries of the Godhead. In one Gallup survey this past summer, potential voters were asked: If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be a Mormon, would you vote for that person? While 10 percent of Republicans answered no, this negative stance toward Mormon candidates rose to 18 percent among selfdeclared independents and 24 percent among Democrats. Another piece of pre-election research -- the American National Election Studies, by a scholar at the University of Sydney -- found that anxieties among evangelical Protestants have actually declined somewhat in recent years, with 36 percent ex-

pressing an aversion to Mormon candidates in 2007 and 33 percent feeling the same way in 2012. Meanwhile, anti-Mormon attitudes among nonreligious voters rose from 21 percent in 2007 to 41 percent in 2012. Among voters who called themselves liberals, this aversion to Mormons rose from 28 percent to 43 percent during that same period. Political and religious liberals, according to this study, are now 10 percent more likely than evangelical Protestants to harshly prejudge Mormon candidates. The key for many Protestants is that, after decades of trying to Christianize American history, it has become very hard for them not to think of the president as a kind of religious mascot instead of a politician, said the Rev. Russell D. Moore, speaking at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. A recording of this forum, entitled The Mormon Moment: Religious Conviction and the 2012 Election, was later posted online. I heard someone in recent days say, I would never vote for anyone who is not an authentically professing evangelical Christian, said Moore, who leads the seminarys school of theology. If thats the case, then as far as I can see, you have about three candidates in the last 100 years or so ... that you could possibly vote for:

William Jennings Bryan, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. Instead of focusing on a shopping list of doctrines, religious voters will need to focus on a more practical question when they enter voting booths, said Moore. They should ask: Between these two people -- President Obama and Gov. Romney -who is going to do the best for the common good and in protecting the United States of America and all the other questions that weve got to keep in mind? Meanwhile, admitted Barnes, there are small pockets of evangelicals in the Bible Belt who remain convinced that members of their flocks must not compromise by voting for a Mormon. However, most religious conservatives have concluded that they fear Romneys faith less than they fear a second term for Barack Obama. The experts also know that, just as a matter of political geography, the few holdouts, if you want to call them that, tend to be in states where Mitt Romney probably doesnt need their votes, said Barnes. He will carry states like Tennessee and South Carolina and Georgia ... very easily.

From flower to flour to salep

Q: Many years ago, I had a brief layover in Turkey. In one of the cafes, I ordered a hot drink I was told was a customary beverage during the winter months. White and thick, it had the look and consistency of eggnog. It had an incredible aroma as well as taste. I would love to have it again and share it with friends and family.

Be thoughtful with secondhand gifts

Dear Sara: Would you be offended if someone gave you a smelly gift from a thrift store? This just happened to me. I know its the thought that counts, so I made sure to sound really appreciative of the gift without making a face about the smell, but it was BAD. Soap and water didnt work to remove the smell, so I used a vinegar rinse, which seems to have done the job. I checked the shirt today and the smell seems to be gone. -- Shoiji, New Jersey Dear Shoiji: I was going to say I wouldnt be offended, but I should clarify: In most situations, I wouldnt be offended. It does depend on who was giving it to me. If it was coming from my husband, Id probably be disappointed; but Id give anyone the benefit of the doubt on an item that smells. Its very possible that the giver didnt

notice the smell. And it really is the thought that counts, right? You handled it well. We teach our young children to be gracious when opening their birthday gifts. The same manners apply to us as adults. Some people would be offended by a secondhand gift, even if it didnt smell. When giving gifts, you have to know whether or not the gift recipient can appreciate a secondhand item and you need to give the same thoughtful consideration when giving secondhand gifts. This includes whether or not the gift is in acceptable condition.

Grandparents who have no interest in grandchildren

Dear Annie: Eleven years ago, we moved halfway across the country in order to live close to my husbands family. For years, we heard about all the things they would do with our kids if only we lived nearer. My parents were still busy raising my four younger siblings and werent really interested in being grandparents, so all these promises sounded wonderful. It didnt take long after we moved to discover that my in-laws were all talk. When we announced that we were pregnant with our fourth child, my mother-in-law said, Well, dont expect me to babysit four kids. I had to bite my tongue to keep from retorting, Why would I? You never babysit the three we already have. My motherin-law always sounds like Im holding a gun to her head when I ask whether she might have some time to see the kids. My children are growing up. They are completely self-sufficient and well behaved. They clean up after themselves and take care of one another. Ive always tried to cast my in-laws in the best possible light, even though they spend less time with my children than my parents who live 1,500 miles away. But the kids are catching on. Should I continue making excuses for my in-laws? Is it OK to tell my kids honestly why they never get invited to their house? Is there any way to express myself to my inlaws so it will open their eyes about what they are missing? So far, calling my mother-inlaw on her behavior has only resulted in a guilt trip and crocodile tears. It breaks my heart that my children have no relationship with these grandparents. But more than that, Im having a hard time not resenting them for all the broken promises. Fran in Frisco Dear Fran: We dont know why your in-laws switched gears. Perhaps being with all those children was more effort than they expected. But dont badmouth them to your kids even if they deserve it. When your children ask why they dont see their grandparents, simply say, Its just the way they are. And please stop asking your in-laws to spend time with the kids. Instead, invite them to whatever occasions merit their presence, and let them see for themselves what they are reaping. Dear Annie: Youve mentioned that men with low sex drives should be tested for low testosterone. Im curious how many men are willing to address the problem with medication. My guy was tested, and his testosterone was very low. He was given a prescription, but said it was too expensive. A call to the doctor produced a less expensive prescription, but he didnt fill that one, either, because it was a hormone, and he thinks all hormones are dangerous. We have since split up. No sex drive is one thing, but the accompanying negative personality issues made me want to hide in my own house. Alone Dear Alone: Low testosterone can also be responsible for depression and other mood disorders. Its too bad your guy was unwilling to try the prescription. It may have helped him enormously. A discussion with his doctor about hormones would have been useful. Dear Annie: I disagree with your answer to Home Alone, whose boyfriend travels on business for months at a time. When hes home, he spends weekdays with her but wants to spend weekends with his family or friends. You said, Youll have to revisit this issue if you marry and have children. I would hope the issue would be totally resolved before even thinking of getting married. He doesnt even make a good boyfriend. That relationship spells disaster. Texas

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

In the coming months, your chances are exceptionally good for experiencing a definite upswing where your status and earnings are concerned. Although you will have a big role in bringing this about, Lady Luck will also play an important part. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -You have the tenacity to finish what you start and, as such, are likely to see all your endeavors through to their conclusions in ways that will please both you and others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because you appreciate the lighter side of life and know what to say or do to take other peoples minds off of their problems, youll be in demand among your friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something important you have been unable to finalize can be concluded. It will prove to be a good thing that you had to wait, because conditions are far more favorable now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Certain conditions you arent deliberately manipulating will be trending in your favor. If and when you sense youre on a winning streak, dont hesitate to flow with events. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Your probabilities for accumulating some type of financial or material gains look to be exceptionally good. This will be especially true for those of you who have initiated matters yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Leadership, initiative and sound judgment are your most dominating attributes today. You have a wonderful faculty for knowing how to make good things better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -There are likely to be some stirrings behind the scenes of which you might not be aware. When they do surface, however, chances are theyll contribute to your material well-being. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Any dealings you have with large corporations or huge groups should work out to your satisfaction. If you have anything that is worthy of promoting, do it now. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Instead of intimidating you, challenges are more likely to arouse your will to win. One of your secrets to success is your positive vision. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- In order to convince a group to do what you want, it pays to first make an ally of the person who has the most clout. This individual will be able to sell others what you cant. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is some kind of special expertise you possess that could be of enormous value to others, and because of this, youre likely to be included in a promising joint endeavor. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Whereas certain business alliances might be somewhat testy, teaming up with them in noncommercial venture could produce a delightful time.
