Thursday's District 10 wrestling highlights, Dec. 13
WARREN -- The Cathedral Prep wrestling team recorded five pins en route to a narrow 39-34 Region 4 win at Warren on Thursday.
The Ramblers improved to 6-1, 2-0 with the win.
Carmen Ciotti, Alex Root, Andy Hutzel, Teagan O'Sullivan and Jake Gromacki each recorded falls for Cathedral Prep.
A key win was also recorded by Phi Selker at 195 pounds as he defeated Steven Krone 7-2 in the final match of the evening to clinch the victory.
D.J. Fellman recorded a major decision for the Dragons as he defeated John Ciotti 14-2 at 132.
- Meadville 51, East 9: At East, Gavon Guanzon's 17-second pin in the 152-pound weight class highlighted Meadville's Region 4 rout over East.
Meadville (5-2 overall) benefitted from four forfeit wins and registered four pins, which included Cameron DeMaison's 49-second pin in the 160-pound division.
East (0-1) received a pin from heavyweight Deiontre Plott.
- Saegertown 57, Union City 15: At Union City, Tyler Vath scored a pin 49 seconds into the 120-pound match to lead Saegertown to a decisive Region 3 win.
Saegertown won all but three matches, including eight coming by way of pins.
In the 106-pound weight class, Devin Brown won by pin in 1 minute, 13 seconds. In the 145-pound division, Matthew Humes scored his pin in 1:49.
Josh Reinke won a decision 5-2 for Union City's only win. The Bears won two other matches by forfeit.
- Harbor Creek 36, Iroquois 27: At Harborcreek, the Huskies got five pins en route to their first win of the season in a Region 3 dual.
Despite giving Iroquois 24 points because of forfeits, Harbor Creek (1-1) won all but one other match to earn the victory.
- Fairview 40, Com. Perry 22: At Hadley, Kyle Crotty's major decision victory in the Region 2 dual meet's second match helped pace Fairview (1-1) in its victory over Commodore Perry.
After Fairview dropped the 126-pound bout, Crotty squared the match with a 19-8 major decision. Tony Minneci and Jon Anderson went on to claim half of the next four matches with pins for the Tigers, who won on the strength of four forfeits.
- Northwestern 49, C. Springs 24: At Albion, the Wildcats earned victories in the first six weight classes to take control of their Region 2 dual meet against Cambridge Springs.
Douglas Kreider got Northwestern (1-6, 1-1) off to a solid start with a 19-second pin against Jake Kuhn in the 106-pound bout. After a Cambridge Springs forfeit in the 113-pound weight class, Bruce Copeland pinned David Schwab in 2 minutes, 27 seconds at 126 pounds.
Sebastian Rinehardt, who posted a 23-14 record for the Wildcats last season, wrestled well, pinning Jaim Crecroft in the 152-pound match in 2 minutes, 47 seconds.

Finally, a bit of good weather news — but it comes with a catch.
Hurricane Katia, which has been churning west through the Atlantic Ocean, now appears poised to hook northeastward over the next several days and is not expected to be a threat to the United States, according to new forecasts from the National Hurricane Center.
After a few days of uncertainty, forecast models (see map on right) are in good agreement that Katia should begin to turn north and eventually northeast sometime early next week as it approaches the eastern seaboard.
As always, the situation should continue to be monitored as conditions could change quickly. But undoubtedly, the new forecast goes a long way toward calming frayed nerves among New Jersey's waterlogged residents, still reeling from Hurricane Irene.
A more pressing concern is Tropical Storm Lee, which this morning was lurching toward Louisiana. While Lee will likely dissipate before getting anywhere near New Jersey, its remnants could bring heavy rains to the state as early as Labor Day.
Tropical moisture from Lee may ride up a storm front expected to reach our area by Monday, according to the National Weather Service, possibly bringing heavy rains to New Jersey from Monday to Wednesday.
Any new rains could trigger new flooding concerns as the ground remains saturated and river levels continue to run high, so state residents should keep an eye on Lee's progress in the coming days.
Below is a map showing the National Hurricane Center's forecast tracks for both Lee and Katia over the next five days:

"The Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized Tuesday, and there are conflicting reports that he tried to commit suicide. The Sun in Britain is reporting that he overdosed on pills, but a source tells Usmagazine.com that it was relapse."
The actor was found unresponsive on the floor of his home in London, the Sun reports.
Meyers' struggles with alcohol abuse have been well documented — he was arrested in 2007 and 2009 for drunken attacks in airports in Dublin and Paris, respectively, and has been in rehab several times. He was discharged Wednesday from the hospital.

Citrus in the Spotlight
Grow sweet, fragrant oranges, lemons and limes and reap the fruits of your labor.
Jill Sell

Polly Keener grows oranges, lemons and limes in front of a large window in her Akron home.
Jane Rogers
The 7-foot-tall grapefruit tree had to go. Gardener Polly Keener of Akron started the tree by seed and watched as it grew into a magnificent, but thorny, fruit-bearing potted plant. Every summer Keener's husband wrestled it to the outdoors and struggled to bring it indoors in the fall.
But this wasn't any grapefruit tree. Keener was an acquaintance of the late Irene Seiberling Harrison, the second-oldest child of Gertrude and F.A. Seiberling, co-founder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
"Irene sent me crates of organic grapefruits when my children were born. When I opened one box, I noticed a sprouting seed, so I planted it," says Keener, adding that Harrison died in 1999 at age 108. "But the tree just got to be too much. So we gave it to
Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens
(the former Seiberling family estate) and it went to a good home."
Keener's appreciation for citrus plants has never wavered, however, and she grows full-size oranges, lemons and limes in front of a wall of large windows in her home. She calls her fruits "little darlings" and respects their independent ways. An orange tree branch stretches to Keener's artist's drawing board where it rests its leaves.
"But see? If I had pruned it, I would have cut off this sweet little bloom. And it's kind of friendly," Keener says.
She enjoys eating the fruit and is "happier just drinking hot water and lemon than tea." Citrus fruits contain vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, as well as folate to prevent birth defects, and anemia, potassium and flavanones that could reduce the risk of stroke, according to the Ohio State University Extension.
Although sometimes recommended for northern climates, Keener has never had to use full-spectrum bulbs or fluorescent grow lights to give her citrus trees the recommended five to six hours of direct daily light. She gives her lime and orange plants a gallon of water a week and concocted a clever system to make sure plants are well drained. Another bonus of growing citrus in the house for the past 15 years?
"The flowers smell so wonderful," says Keener.
Hirt's Gardens (
) in Granger Township offers a variety of grafted citrus plants originating in Florida or homegrown in the Medina County nursery. Owner Alan Hirt believes home gardeners have a renewed interest in citrus as part of today's "edible landscape" philosophy. Hirt and his son, Matthew, recommend novice Ohio citrus growers try calamondin ("a little too tart to eat off the plant, but good for cooking"), Key lime ("easy to take care of") and blood oranges ("they are good for you"). Meyer lemons are also best sellers. But Matthew Hirt cautions that "they don't really have that citrus-like flavor where you would put a slice in your glass. They are more like a lemon meringue flavor." (Is anyone complaining?)
Another popular plant is the Cocktail Tree, which is really two plants — a Meyer lemon and a Key lime — grown together in one pot and not meant to be separated.
"I guess if you grew a potted one next to your pool you could just reach over and pick a couple fruits for your cocktails," says Matthew Hirt.
Ed Laivo is the sales director for Four Winds Growers (
) in California, the company that introduced dwarf citrus trees to the United States in the 1940s. Laivo tactfully suggests "staying away from the sweeter citrus plants in areas that have less than ideal growing conditions." For Ohio, he also likes Bearss Seedless Lime and Oroblanco grapefruit. For "a challenge and fun," Laivo recommends the unusually shaped Buddha's Hand, a plant that should be kept indoors in Ohio all year.
A five-gallon container is good for most potted citrus. Laivo describes citrus as "babies in a pot which must be fed" and recommends an organic fertilizer such as Citrus-tone from the Espoma Co. Seaweed extract and fish emulsion solution are also used as citrus fertilizers, but are probably best for plants that move outside in warm weather. Keener likes to treat her citrus to a drink of water with a few drops of vinegar a few times a year. Hirt recommends not fertilizing during the fruiting stage.
Some home gardeners think citrus would do well in a toasty house in winter. But Pamela Bennett, state master gardener volunteer coordinator with the OSU Extension, says there is a difference between hot and dry and hot and humid. A conservatory or greenhouse where humidity levels are high and temperatures range from 55 to 95 degrees is ideal. Otherwise, it is best to keep citrus away from registers and heating appliances. Some citrus gardeners swear by rooms with a temperature of about 65 degrees.
"When you take the plants inside for the winter, you have to check carefully," says Bennett, who doesn't think there is anything better than a big juicy orange. "But even if you do look, you will miss some (insect) eggs. Scale, whitefly and spider mites can be a problem."
Matthew Hirt grows a Persian lime in his own home and "puts it in the shower and lets it drain off." He suggests spraying with insecticide soap if there is a problem, carefully "getting the undersides of the leaves three or four times a week until the problem is gone."
The amount of fruit a potted indoor citrus bears depends on variety, amount of bright light during the winter (the more light, the more fruit) and other factors. But generally, kumquats won't produce as much fruit as calamondin, lemon or lime plants.
Many citrus plants can be forced to fruit in winter, according to Hirt, but "they are like orchids and do things when they are ready." That stubbornness is one reason many home gardeners appreciate citrus, although it can be frustrating at times. It is not uncommon for Meyer lemons to fruit all year round, according to Laivo, making it popular.
Some citrus growers suggest removing small immature fruit the first year to strengthen the plant for the future.
"But how much fun is that?" asks Bennett. "You want to see that fruit develop. If you get a fruit on a tree, be happy. Don't be concerned with any remaining fruit."
The following are recommended for growing indoors in our state.
Bearss Seedless Lime
) — no thorns; used to accent flavors of food and beverages; lime juice used to clean inside of tea and coffee pots.
Buddha's Hand/Fingered Citron
(pictured) — wonderful, wild shape and fragrance; used in flower arrangements; usually blooms in spring and fruits in fall.
— small, orange fruit; one of the most prolific citrus.
Improved Meyer Lemon
— sweetest of all lemons; blooms spring and fall, best grown indoors; virus-free.
Keiffer lime — popular for cooking; fragrant leaf.
Mexican (Key) Lime
— small fruit, but is the tropical taste we expect.
Moro Blood Orange
— dark purple-red flesh; usually blooms and fruits in early spring.
Oroblanco Grapefruit
— sweet, yellow fruits in winter; lovely tree with large and fragrant flowers.
Variegated Pink Lemon
— grown for its pretty foliage; clear juice.
— important fruit in Asian cuisine; slices also floated in New Year's baths to bring good luck; long, sharp thorns; a hardy citrus and can withstand colder temps, but better to grow indoors in Ohio.
Lemony Custard Cakes
Courtesy of Jane Rogers, Home Economist | Serves 4–8
A taste of citrus brings a little sun into a winter meal.
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons freshly grated lemon rind
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup milk (lighter option: skim milk)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
(or lemon extract)
butter to grease custard cups

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil water in teakettle. Grease six to eight 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups with butter. Separate eggs. Whisk together egg yolks. Mix together remaining ingredients (except egg whites) and whisk in egg yolks. In a separate bowl, use electric mixer to beat egg whites to form soft peaks. Fold whites lightly but thoroughly into egg yolk mixture. Batter will be thin.
Spoon batter almost to top of ramekins. Place ramekins in large baking dish filled with 1-inch hot water. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until set in the center and just beginning to brown. Test with toothpick. Remove ramekins from water bath. Serve hot, room temperature or chilled.

Dallas County pegs ice storm expenses at $300K, but bigger cost was lost productivity
Dallas County spent around $300,00 to $400,000 to battle slick roads during the recent winter weather, according to conservative estimates from County Judge Clay Jenkins.
But while sanding and salting roads were among the county's most prominent efforts during the storm, Jenkins said the biggest cost to the county came from closing offices — including the court system — on Friday and then opening them late on Monday.
That resulted in lost productivity to the tune of $1.5 million, he said.
"That's the bulk of it," Jenkins said.
Those figures don't take into account all possible county expenses, such as any extra costs incurred by Parkland hospital. And it goes without saying, but the county tally also doesn't include weather-related costs for the city of Dallas, TxDOT, NTTA and others.
Jenkins said Dallas County was "blessed" to not have the same weather challenges as neighbors to the west and north, where the storm hit harder. Tarrant County, for instance, totaled its weather costs at around $500,000, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Dallas County officials are now starting to evaluate how well the weather response worked.
Jenkins said he was pleased overall, particularly with the county's ability to make decisions faster and get info to the public quickly. But he said he was concerned about the difficulty in clearing some of the region's highways, even though that's not really a county function.
"If there is a way to better help our partners in that regard, we want to do that," he said.

Facebook photo of shot turtle leads to charges
JAMISON -- A man is facing animal cruelty charges in suburban Philadelphia after authorities were alerted to online photos of a box turtle that was shot.
The Bucks County Courier Times reported Saturday that the Bucks County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals charged an unnamed 18-year-old, but court records were not posted to the court's database.
SPCA humane officer Nikki Thompson told the paper the photos on Facebook prompted someone to contact her organization.
District court officials in Warwick Township told the paper the man faces summary charges. If convicted, the offense carries a fine of $50 to $750.
Thompson said box turtles are a native species and it's illegal to shoot them.

Dealing with slippery surfaces is perhaps one of the very first physical phenomena that we deal with as kids. It is always challenging to keep your balance, not to fall down, or not to break your bones. Similar to any other kids, I always asked my father why he drives slower on rainy days. The answer was the same to all of these questions. Friction!
Surprisingly, my research ended up being in a similar realm. Ice sits on the solid ground, a massive 2-3km thick cold block. But that poor block also suffers from the same imbalance that I had as a kid as my shoes slipped on the ground where I was walking when the ground was wet. That's right, the block slides faster, just like me. It goes down the slope where it is sitting, and falls into the ocean. That's why we want to know if the glacier's "shoes" are wet or not!
A large number of physical sciences come together and help develop tools like satellites, in-the-field measurement techniques, and computer models, so that we can estimate the temperature at the bottom of the ice sheet. This way I can see whether the ice sheet and I are sharing the same slippery experience!

Adele swept Sunday's Grammy Awards with six gramophones, but her big win isn't inspiring her to rush back into the studio.
"I am f–––––– off for four or five years," she tells Vogue in its March issue.
"If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record and be in love and be happy ... I won't come out with new music until it's better than 21."
The current love Adele, 23, refers to is former investment banker Simon Konecki, 37.
"He's wonderful," she gushes of her beau, CEO of charity Drop4Drop. "And he's proud of me, but he [doesn't] care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don't think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn't been for him."
And luckily for Konecki, the songstress boasts that she's "wifey material."
"I am attentive," she says. "I will do anything for my man. I am a good cook. I'm funny."
And most importantly, she adds, "[I] always want to have sex. Most girls don't!"
The Adele people know through her music is somber, but she says she's actually quite upbeat and optimistic, refusing to let fans hear her sad side anymore.
"I'm never writing a breakup record again, by the way," she tells the magazine. "I'm done with being a bitter witch."
Along with putting away her broomstick, she's also at a point where she doesn't necessarily forgive the ex who inspired 21 – but she acknowledges she's grateful for the experience she had with him.
"He was amazing," she says. "He was great. But it was never going to work. And for ages, I was like, 'As if he deserves any f–––––– kudos for inspiring my record.' But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me – has now changed my life for f–––––– ever with this album – deserves a little credit."
Without him, she says, "I think I'd still be that little girl I was when I was 18 ... I now know what I want for myself and from someone else. I didn't know what I wanted before."

Police say an armed man is in custody after crews searched for him Saturday morning.
Around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, East Pennsboro Township police were called to the 2100 block of Valley Street in Enola for a domestic dispute involving a firearm.
The victim reported that Charles John Snavely, 46, pointed a firearm at her and threatened to kill her.
When police responded, Snavely fled out the back of the home and into a wooded area. Police surrounded the area and closed Valley Street.
Snavely surrendered peacefully just after 8 a.m. and was taken into custody. He was charged with simple assault, terroristic threats and prior convict not to possess firearms.
Because of the extreme cold exposure, Snavely was transported to Holy Spirit Hospital for medical treatment.

William Henry Quilliam (10 April 1856[1][2][3] Liverpool – 23 April 1932 London), who changed his name to Abdullah Quilliam and later Henri Marcel Leon or Haroun Mustapha Leon, was a 19th-century convert from Christianity to Islam, noted for founding England's first mosque and Islamic centre.
William Quilliam was born in Liverpool to a wealthy local family in 1856.[4] His father, Robert Quilliam, was a watch manufacturer. His great grandfather, also called Robert Quilliam, was born in the Isle of Man.[5] William was educated at the Liverpool Institute and King William's College on the Isle of Man. He began work as a solicitor in 1878, building a successful legal practice in Liverpool. He married Hannah Johnstone in 1879.
Conversion to Islam[edit]
Quilliam was brought up a Methodist[6] but converted to Islam after visiting Morocco to recover from an illness at the age of 17.[7] Returning to Liverpool, he began to promote Islam in Britain as Abdullah Quilliam. He had earlier learned about Islam while visiting southern France in 1882 and crossing over to Algeria and Tunisia.
Quilliam established the Liverpool Muslim Institute at 8 Brougham Terrace, West Derby Road, Liverpool in 1889, opening on Christmas Day. This was England's first mosque, accommodating around a hundred Muslims, This was followed by a Muslim college, headed by Haschem Wilde and Nasrullah Warren, which offered courses for both Muslims and non-Muslims. A weekly Debating and Literary Society within the college attracted non-Muslims.
Quilliam influenced the paths of other converts, including his mother Harriet,[8] his sons, and scientists and intellectuals, and his example led to the conversion of over 150 Englishmen to Islam. Quilliam was influential in advancing knowledge of Islam within the United Kingdom and gained converts through his literary works and the charitable institutions he founded.
An active writer and essayist, he produced a weekly paper, The Crescent, from 1893 until 1908. He published three editions of his The Faith of Islam which, translated into thirteen languages, gained him fame across the Islamic world.
He travelled extensively and received many honours from the leaders of the Islamic world. He had contact with English-speaking West African Muslims and toured the region's coastal cities on his way to Lagos to attend the consecration of the Shitta Bey Mosque in 1894.[9] He was appointed Sheikh-ul-Islam of the British Isles by the Ottoman Sultan, Abdul Hamid II, in 1894, and Persian Vice Consul to Liverpool by the Shah. He also received money from the Emir of Afghanistan to help fund the Islamic Institute in Liverpool.
Quilliam's work in Liverpool stopped when he left England in 1908 in advance of being struck off as a solicitor.[10][11] His son swiftly disposed of the property that had been used as a mosque and Islamic centre. Without Quilliam's influence and funding, the Muslim community in Liverpool dispersed.
He had returned to the UK by December 1914 under the name of H. M. Leon.[12] He spent much of his time at Onchan on the Isle of Man. He died in Taviton Street, Bloomsbury, London in 1932,[13] and was buried in Brookwood Cemetery near Woking. The prominent Anglo-Muslims Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall (who each translated the Qur'an), and Lord Headley were later buried near him.
Political views[edit]
Quilliam argued that Muslims should not fight Muslims on behalf of European powers.[14] He denounced British foreign policy in Sudan[15] and called for a worldwide Caliphate.[16] It was as a result of his political views and his allegiance to the Ottoman Caliph that led some to denounce him as a traitor.[17]
His legacy is maintained by the Abdullah Quilliam Society which was formed in 1996. The Society is raising funds to restore 8–10 Brougham Terrace in Liverpool to reopen the historic mosque and establish an educational centre.[18]
The Quilliam Foundation, a think tank aimed at challenging extremist Islamist ideologies, was launched in 2008.[19][20]

Know ye, O Muslims, that the British Government has decided to commence military and warlike operations against the Muslims of the Soudan, who have taken up arms to defend their country and their faith. And it is in contemplation to employ Muslim soldiers to fight against these Muslims of the Soudan. For any True Believer to take up arms and fight against another Muslim is contrary to the Shariat, and against the law of God and his holy prophet. I warn every True-Believer that if he gives the slightest assistance in this projected expedition against the Muslims of the Soudan, even to the extent of carrying a parcel, or giving a bite of bread to eat or a drink of water to any person taking part in the expedition against these Muslims that he thereby helps the Giaour against the Muslim, and his name will be unworthy to be continued upon the roll of the faithful.

- ^ In the name of God, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful! Peace be to all the faithful everywhere! "O True-Believers, fear God with His true fear; and die not unless ye also be True-Believers. And cleave all of you unto the covenant of God, and depart not from it; and remember the favour of God towards you." Sura 3, "The Family of Imran," Ayat, 103 All praise be to God Who, in His unlimited goodness, has favoured us with the gift of the True religion of Islam, and Who has ordered the brethren to be united, and declared this to be His law in the before-quoted Ayat of the Holy and Imperishable Koran! Among Muslims none should be known as Turks, Arabs, Kurds, Ajem, Afghans, Indians or English. They are all Muslims, and verily the True-Believers are brethren. Islam is erected on the Unity of God, the unity of His religion, and the unity of the Muslims. History demonstrates that the True-Believers were never defeated while they remained united, but only when disunion crept into their ranks. At the present time, union is more than ever necessary among Muslims. The Christian powers are preparing a new crusade in order to shatter the Muslim powers, under the pretext that they desire to civilise the world. This is nothing but hypocrisy, but armed as they are with the resources of Western civilisation it will be impossible to resist them unless the Muslims stand united in one solid phalanx. O Muslims, do not be deceived by this hypocrisy. Unite yourselves as one man. Let us no longer be separated. The rendezvous of Islam is under the shadow of the Khalifate. The Khebla of the True-Believer who desires happiness for himself and prosperity to Islam is the holy seat of the Khalifate. It is with the deepest regret that we see some persons seeking to disseminate disunion among Muslims by publications issued in Egypt, Paris and London. "Verily, they are in a manifest error." If their object – as they allege it – be the welfare of Islam, then let them reconsider their action and they will perceive that instead of bringing a blessing to Islam their actions will have a contrary effect, and only further disseminate disunion where it is – alas that it should be said – only too apparent. We fraternally invite these brethren to return their allegiance, and call them to the sacred name of Islam to re-unite with the Faithful. Muslims all! Arsh is under the standard of the Khalifate. Let us unite there, one and all, and at once! Given at the Mosque at Liverpool, this 5th day of Dhulkada, 1313, which Christians in their error call the 20th day of April 1896 W.H.

UCLA Organizes Officials to Revive 'Road Map'
A detailed new plan to breathe life into the Bush administration's road map and restore a cease-fire has been proposed by prominent Israelis and Palestinians and is now circulating among U.S. officials.
The Jerusalem Post reported Friday that the plan was hammered out at a Nov. 7-8 meeting in a hotel on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea and was organized by UCLA's Burkle Center for International Relations, which gets $1.5 million annually from the Pentagon to promote Middle East dialogue.
In contrast to other recent private peace initiatives, the new plan focuses on intermediate steps, rather than on a long-range permanent settlement of the conflict.
Among those participating in the meeting on the Israeli side were Ephraim Sneh, a Labor member of the Knesset, David Kimche, a former Foreign Ministry and Mossad official, and Ze'ev Schiff, defense analyst for the daily Ha'aretz.
Representing the Palestinian Authority were Muhammad Rashid, Yasser Arafat's personal financier, and Abed Alloun, a high-ranking security service official.
The initiative for the meeting, according to the report by the Jerusalem Post's Washington correspondent Janine Zacharia, came from UCLA political scientist Steven Spiegel, a veteran Middle East analyst and associate director of the Burkle Center.
The UCLA center concentrates on projects to maintain dialogue between opposing sides when official negotiations break down. Spiegel is in charge of the center's Track Two diplomacy program.
Spiegel did not respond to The Journal's request for comments.
Key recommendations of the plan include:
- An indefinite cease-fire between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel, to be monitored by a U.S.-Israel-Palestinian trilateral committee. By contrast, earlier, short-lived cease-fires were between the Palestinian Authority and terrorist groups and did not involve Israel.
- Future construction of the security fence should be "basically along the Green Line."
- Establishment of a Mideast association on terrorism, headquartered in Cairo, consisting of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, the United States, Egypt, Jordan and the Iraqi Governing Council.
- The Palestinian Authority to take practical steps to prevent terrorist groups from carrying out attacks, dismantle illegal militias, close weapon workshops and curb arms smuggling.
- Encourage Israel to release more Palestinian prisoners, dismantle road blocks and illegal outposts and raise the number of Palestinian work permits to 50,000.
Israeli and Palestinian initiators of the plan believe it has a better chance for success than earlier ones, because it is "underpinned by a regional association to address the problems of terror," Israel would be included in the cease-fire, and the presence of a trilateral monitoring committee. -- Tom Tugend, Contributing Editor
Judaism's Branches Journey Together to Israel
Israel's West Coast tourism director met with rabbis on Dec. 1 to begin building buzz about next summer's broad Jewish community trip to Israel, the first local trip combining Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist congregations.
"This is the time to show unity," said Noam Matas, the Israel Ministry of Tourism's Western USA director who is leading the "Go Israel Mega Community Mission" slated for Aug. 1-10, 2004. "Only rabbis will bring us the people."
On Dec. 7, members of Denver's Jewish community will begin a 10-day, 120-person Jewish-Christian trip to Israel, similar to the ministry-driven Jewish-Christian summer 2004 trips for the Las Vegas and Phoenix Jewish communities. While the Los Angeles "Go Israel" trip will be just for Jewish travelers, organizers face difficulties in navigating issues such as how Judaism's different branches want to experience Israel and even Los Angeles' summer camp schedules.
"I just don't see them [parents] doing both -- camp and 10 days in Israel," said Rabbi Alan Kalinsky, the Orthodox Union's West Coast director, one of nine rabbis and denomination officials at the Dec. 1 meeting. "Summer planning is almost done for most families; by the end of December it's finished."
The "Go Israel" trip is expected to have about 300 L.A. Jews traveling to Israel together, and then going their separate ways except for the trip's opening and closing dinners plus a probable Knesset tour, military base visit and meetings with politicians. One trip logo employs the phrase, "For Israel, For Israelis, For Faith, For Spirit, For Good." The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles is expected to endorse "Go Israel," organizers said.
"Go Israel" logistics now include sorting out specific hotels, creating a package price of about $1,400-$1,500 per person, balancing the trip's individual and group events plus announcing "Go Israel" in synagogues.
"We need a lot of lead time so that people can leave space," said Joel Baker, Pacific Southwest Region director of The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.
Young Israel of Century City Rabbi Elazar Muskin said many locals travel to Israel. But unlike smaller Jewish communities in smaller cities, Muskin said Southern California's sprawling Jewish culture never has been able, "to get the L.A. community over to Israel as a community. We have to get over there as a community. We're behind on this, the sense that we are a Jewish community."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The good news is that our education community has been busy this fall. The 2020 Vision process is focusing on making IV/CB a world-class "education destination" with outstanding learning opportunities pre-K through adult. Our new WCSD leaders introduced an extensive performance report at the Incline Data Summit on Oct. 24. Some community members submitted a proposal for an NV-sponsored K-12 charter school incorporating blended learning. Because the state doesn't currently recognize the proposed school's innovative approaches, it had to be withdrawn last week.As always, progress is a mixed bag. While this community seems to share the desire to provide excellent education for all ages and backgrounds, we don't yet have a clear plan - or consensus - on how to get there.As a charter could be revived next year - after more legislative lobbying - I am keenly interested to work with others who seek to strengthen the WCSD schools so that alternatives aren't needed to meet all students' needs.But first we have to answer some questions: Are our public schools already good enough, excellent or are changes needed? If so, how much?Here are highlights from the Incline Data Summit report to consider:• 51 percent of Incline 2nd graders are not currently "On Pathway" to reading success - compared to 36 percent district average (p. 35).• 52 percent of students are considered not on track with math proficiency growth between 4th and 8th grades (67 percent Hispanic, 39 percent White) (p. 56).• 45 percent of students are not on track with reading proficiency growth between 4th and 8th grades (67 percent Hispanic, 26 percent White) (p. 55).• 64 percent of MS students are at some risk of not graduating (including low, medium and high risk) - with 58 percent of Hispanic students are at high to moderate risk of not graduating (p. 29).• 42 percent of 10th graders failed the math proficiency exam - up from 26 percent in 2011 - with 79 percent of Hispanic students failing vs. 59 percent district average (p. 50).• 39 percent of 10th graders failed the reading proficiency exam - up from 12 percent in 2010 - with 71 percent of Hispanic students failing vs. 62 percent across district (p. 52).• 59 percent of the Hispanic student cohort did not graduate in June 2012 - compared to the district average of 44 percent - and compared to 48 percent in Incline the 2011 (p. 49).• 33 percent of all IHS students headed to UNR required remedial English or math classes (2011) (p. 64).• 50 percent of IHS students report being engaged in their learning (75 percent response rate) (p. 10).We could celebrate that Incline's combined graduation rate of 77 percent is higher than the district average of 69 percent; however, this is perhaps explained by the fact that we have much higher percent of white students (64 percent at IHS vs. 48 percent across district), much higher Gifted & Talented (GT) percent (23 percent at IHS vs. 5 percent across district), and much higher socio-economic status (12 percent of IHS students identify as low SES, compared to 44 percent across district (p. 6)). Such demographic differences readily explain Incline's higher AP completion rates, AP grades and SAT scores.What should concern us most is why Hispanic students in IV are performing below the district average and why students of both ethnicities have growth percentiles that are mediocre and declining compared to their peer groups across the district (p. 53, 54)? An excellent way to compare all the schools in the district and state is via Nevada DOE's Growth Model on-line charts: https://bighorn.doe.nv.gov/sites/NGMA/default.aspx.Why aren't Incline's schools found in the upper right quadrant where we expect them to be? As Dan Carne, our outgoing WCSD board trustee, described to me, the Incline community appears to think more highly of their schools than the data warrants.We could play the blame game or contest the validity of the data or the metrics. But I hope we don't waste our time in denial. Let's focus instead on how to help all students achieve their greatest learning growth and potential. Frankly, I've never seen a situation as full of potential as we have in this community of wise, caring and generous education supporters and advocates. If we decide to work collaboratively and constructively, there is no limit to what we can achieve.Stay tuned for next week's discussion: How can we help all students achieve their highest potentials?- Mary Alber is an Incline Village resident with two children in local schools and an advocate for 21st century learning opportunities.

But Johnson also had a problem when he came to try and recruit Reed to the University of Miami. The Hurricanes' scholarships were limited because of partial probation, and Johnson and defensive backs coach Chuck Pagano were hoping to try to convince Reed to come to Miami on a track scholarship.
"Chuck's brother, John Pagano, was with the Saints at the time (as a defensive assistant). So we went with him out to Destrehan, and we put on the film of Ed making play after play," Johnson recalled. "And Chuck was like, 'I don't know. I don't know.' So John goes, 'I don't know if he could play for you guys at the University of Miami. But he sure could start with us for the New Orleans Saints.'
"So that's why we took him. Not because of Chuck Pagano, but because of John Pagano."
Sixteen years later, Reed is still the kind of impact player the Saints could use in their secondary.
He's 34 years old now, and he's fighting through all the ailments that come with an 11-year career – a torn labrum suffered early this season, a painful nerve impingement that has nagged him for an estimated six or seven years, a series of concussions he's endured.
And that little gray patch sprouting from his hair seems to be growing a little bit more each year – though Johnson said he's always told Reed that's a sign of "wisdom."
Regardless, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer remains one of the most dangerous threats ever to roam the back end of a NFL defense. And he is still expected to be one of the biggest impact players on Sunday when his Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 2013 in his home turf of New Orleans.
"Even though injuries have robbed him of some of his speed, and he's been playing with a torn labrum, I still think he's the best safety in the league as far as taking the football away," said Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, who now works as an analyst for CBS. "I mean, the dude's special. … This dude is unbelievable.
"I gave him the nickname, the 'Ball Hawk.' I've never seen a guy from that position be able to take the ball away like he has."
Reed ranks 10th in NFL history with 61 career interceptions. And he ranks first in NFL history with 1,541 return yards.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees is one of Reed's many victims. Brees is 0-3 in his career against Reed and the Ravens, and Reed picked him off in their early days when Brees was with the San Diego Chargers in 2003.
"You talk about one of the best safeties of all time," Brees said. "He's one of those guys that's extremely smart. And just a football player. He's a ball hawk. He's always around the ball. When you play him, as the game goes on, you see him start to kind of dissect what's happening. And you have to become even more careful as the game goes on as to where he is and the plays he's trying to make."
When asked if he had to try and change his routine or tendencies before facing Reed, Brees said, "Here's the thing. On the chalkboard, certain coverages are supposed to look certain ways. But when Ed Reed's back there, it doesn't look like what it's supposed to look like on the chalkboard. He's gonna read your eyes, he's gonna read formations, he's gonna read splits, he's gonna jump certain things.
"And you just gotta be aware of where he is, or he can make you pay."
Reed was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2004. He's earned nine Pro Bowl selections. He's been named first-team All-Pro five times and second-team All-Pro three times. He has scored 14 touchdowns in his career, and he's the only player in NFL history to score off a punt return, a blocked punt, an interception and a fumble recovery.
All of those accomplishments made Reed an easy choice for our list of the top-10 NFL players from the New Orleans area.
He probably belongs in the top three or four, along with quarterback Peyton Manning and Hall of Fame running backs Steve Van Buren and Marshall Faulk -- whom Johnson also recruited when he was with San Diego State.
"I was fortunate to be around two of them. And those two guys, Ed and Marshall were very similar in how smart they are. Exceptionally smart. … (Reed) is probably one of the smartest players I've been around, him and Drew Brees," said Johnson, who appreciates better than most how many great players – and great defensive backs, in particular – have sprouted from the New Orleans area.
Another one of them, Aeneas Williams, is up for Hall of Fame induction this weekend. And another, 15-year NFL veteran Lionel Washington, is now serving as Johnson's co-defensive coordinator at Tulane.
Reed rattled off a number of attributes that make Reed stand out – from his smarts to his skills to his competitive drive. He said he used to play basketball with Reed a lot, and he acted like Michael Jordan on the court. Always willing to take the final shot, always wanting to lock down the other team's best player on defense.
Johnson said Reed was also the classic guy who would "make his teammates better." He remembers him driving another all-time NFL great safety Sean Taylor to be the best he could be at Miami. And Reed has even given Johnson pointers over the years.
They were just in Johnson's office recently, with Reed explaining to Johnson how he would always just follow Saints receiver Marques Colston, because he knew that's where the Saints would go eventually.
Former Saints safety Darren Sharper said Reed gave him similar pointers before the Saints played in the Super Bowl against Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. And sure enough, Reed was spot-on with predicting some of Manning's tendencies – including the quick slant to Reggie Wayne that was intercepted by Saints cornerback Tracy Porter to seal the victory.
But as smart and well-prepared as Reed is, his instincts are even better.
Sharper, who ranks two interceptions ahead of Reed on the all-time NFL list with 63, said he's always been a fan of Reed because they play with that same "riverboat gambler" style.
"I love watching him play," said Sharper, who is now an analyst for the NFL Network. "I see what he's seeing -- knowing how to take proper angles. Anticipation. Not being afraid to take a chance.
"He definitely takes calculated risks. And I can appreciate that as someone who likes to play the game that way."
Reed's pro coaches speak about Reed with the same reverence as Johnson does. Both current Ravens coach John Harbaugh and former Ravens coach Brian Billick said that while it's understandable that veteran linebacker Ray Lewis is getting so much attention leading up to his final game, Reed is a similar type of player and leader.
Harbaugh called Reed a "staple," "a spiritual and emotional leader" and "a huge part of what we do" this week, raving about what he's meant to the Baltimore community off the field as well as what he's meant on the field.
Billick, who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network and FOX, said Reed has "an incredible, unique perspective on the game. He's Ray Lewis-like in his emotion, his passion and intelligence for the game."
And when asked for his memories of Reed, Billick laughed.
"How many times where you're looking up and you're going, 'What the hell are you doing there? Oh great, you intercepted the ball! Go!'" said Billick. "Just his ability to come out of the structure of the defense and make plays is second to none."
Reed is scheduled to be a free agent after this season, and he said he intends to keep playing. But the Saints aren't a very realistic destination since they have limited cap space to work with and so many holes to fill on a defense that needs to be rebuilt.
And the Saints would hardly be the only team interested in his services. There's already buzz building that the New England Patriots will make a run at Reed since coach Bill Belichick has always been so gushing with his praise for Reed.
When Belichick was asked before the AFC championship game what he admires so much about Reed, he said, "It's everything."
"He just does things that nobody else at that position does, or I don't know if they've ever done it," Belichick said. "He's special. He's really special."
That's as true today as it was 16 years ago.

MASON -- A 19-year-old Spring Lake man was sentenced today to a weekend in jail and probation for leaving the scene of a dramatic rollover crash that gained national attention because it was captured on video by a state police cruiser.
An Ingham County District Court jury found Trevor Ryan guilty of leaving the scene of a personal-injury accident but acquitted him of reckless driving in a May 22 crash on I-96, east of Lansing. Emily Bowness, 28, of Holland, was injured when her SUV rolled over eight to 10 times.
"I only want to say I am deeply sorry for any hurt I have caused to Emily Bowness. I think it's terrible she had to suffer for any mistake I made," Ryan said in court.
The crash was videotaped on a police dashboard camera. (Watch the video.)
Bowness suffered broken ribs and thumb, and a gash on her head that required 12 stitches.
The crash happened near the Webberville exit, 20 miles east of Lansing. The video showed Ryan's car swerved to avoid merging traffic and causing Bowness to lose control of her vehicle. An issue at trial was whether Ryan realized he had been involved in the crash. Witnesses said he stopped a half-mile down the road to inspect his car, then left.
Ryan said he only saw "movement" in his rearview mirror, but wasn't sure anything had happened.
"I saw it as nothing more than a near miss," he said.
But Judge Thomas Boyd said: "The right thing to do is to stop and help -- that's the right thing. I believe Mr. Ryan will do the right thing the next time."
Ryan, a Michigan State University sophomore, will serve his sentence next month after exams. He also is on probation for one year.

SOUTHINGTON - The old saying goes that you live and die by the 3-pointer. In the case of Pymatuning Valley-Southington matchup on Friday night, the Lakers lived by it.
The Lakers drained nine 3-pointers, seven of which came in the first half alone, en route to a 78-47 rout of the Wildcats.
"Our five starters played really well tonight," Lakers coach Ryan Fitch said. "They came out and got right after it. You say we live and die by the (3-pointer), and we do. That's our style of play. If they go in, we're going to look good. If they don't, we're not going to look so good."
The Lakers (2-0) started the aerial bombardment early in the game, mostly through the hot hand of Austin Nowakowski.
The 5-foot-8-inch guard knocked down three 3-pointers in the first quarter alone and started by making his first four attempts from beyond the arc.
Nowakowski slowed down after that, not scoring another point, but he tied his mark from the team's opener against Conneaut.
"My role on this team is just to shoot 3's," Nowakowski said. "I give credit to (my teammates) for driving and then kicking it (out to me). Once I get on fire, I get the edge that I get to keep on shooting. I don't get down on myself, so I just keep going."
Overall, the Lakers went 7-11 from beyond the arc, which forced the Wildcats (0-4) to switch from a zone to a man defense.
Pymatuning Valley took advantage of the switch, attacking the lane and going for more high-percentage shots. This style suited starting guard Quintin Ratliff, who finished with game-highs in points (18) and assists (5).
He wasn't the only Pymatuning Valley player to benefit, as all five starters reached double figures by the end. The Lakers spread the ball throughout the game, and the Wildcats couldn't find an answer to stop them.
"It definitely spread out the floor because then they had to come out and contain us," Ratliff said. "We can go one-on-one, but we hit the 3-pointers, which opened up the dribble-drive."
Southington coach Mike Karr's young squad found itself in a hole early, and with the 3-point barrage from the Lakers, Karr had no choice to change the defense.
Karr said he originally employed the zone because his team struggled in the post so far this season. He wanted to help the Wildcats gain some confidence, as they have only two returning lettermen and have three freshmen playing regular minutes.
"We wanted to contest the (3-pointers), but we had been getting hurt inside so much in the first three games," he said. "I thought we did a good job of maintaining that interior, and (the Lakers) got hot. That's tough to recover from that - especially with a young team."
As for the Lakers going forward, they face Champion on Tuesday.
It will be a matchup of contrasting styles as the Golden Flashes like to play physical, but the Lakers feel they can win.
"(Champion's) big, they're physical and they're going to push us around," Fitch said. "We'll just come out and do the same things we do every night."
