T A C L O B A N , Philippines — They found the hoop in the ruins of their obliter-ated neighborhood. They propped up the backboard with broken wood beams and rusty nails scavenged from vast mounds of storm-blasted homes.
A crowd gathered around. And on one of the few stretches of road here that wasn’t overflowing with debris, they played basketball.
I didn’t know what to think at first when I stumbled upon six teen-agers shooting hoops over the weekend in a wrecked neighborhood of Tacloban, a city that Typhoon Haiyan reduced to rubble, bodies and uprooted trees when it slammed into the
Philippines Nov. 8.As a foreign correspon-
dent working in the mid-dle of a horrendous disas-ter zone, I didn’t expect to see people having a good time — or asking me to play ball.
I was even more stunned when I learned
that the basketball goal was one of the first things this neighborhood rebuilt.
It took a moment for me to realize that it made all the sense in the world.
The kids wanted to play so they can take their minds off what happened,
said Elanie Saranillo, one of the spectators. “And we want to watch so we, too, can forget.”
Saranillo, 22, now lives in a church after her own home was leveled by the storm.
Countless families lost loved ones to the
typhoon, which killed more than 4,000 people. Hundreds of thousands of survivors have endured unimaginable suffering: hunger, thirst, makeshift shelter, little if any medi-cal care, and a desperate, dayslong wait for aid to arrive.
Signs of life amid misery

VIENNA — Since the start of talks on Iran’s nuclear program, Iran has asserted it has a right to enrich uranium — and the United States has dis-agreed. Both have refused to budge over nearly a decade of negotiations.
Until now.Iran has suddenly gone
public with a significant concession just days ahead of a new round of talks with six world powers later this week in Geneva. It still insists that it has a right to the program, but it now says that the six no longer need to publicly acknowledge its claim, opening a way to sidestep the dispute and focus on more practical steps both sides can agree on.
It is the latest sign of Iran’s new pragmatic approach to the nuclear issue. Tehran is unlikely to ever completely stop enrichment. But by drop-ping a demand that makes no practical difference, it can move on to its most pressing concern; an eas-ing of sanctions crippling its economy.
Less than two months ago, President Hassan Rouhani conditioned any agreement on recognition by the United States and its allies of such a right. But with both sides hop-ing to seal a deal at meet-ings that start Wednesday, Tehran tweaked its mes-sage Sunday.
Tehran’s right of enrich-ment remains “nonnego-tiable,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by the semi-official ISNA news agency. “But (we) see no necessity for its recognition as a right.”
Despite previous signs that Iran is ready to com-promise under the moder-ate Rouhani, such a major shift is a surprise.
Iran deal closer

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A public school district was legally justified in firing a science instruc-tor who refused to remove religious materials from his classroom, a divided Ohio Supreme Court said Tuesday in a ruling that stopped short of addressing issues the case raised about the teaching of cre-ationism and intelligent design.
With three justices dissenting,
the court ruled the Mount Vernon district had grounds to fire John Freshwater in 2011 for insubordi-nation for keeping religious books and a poster of a praying presi-dent.
“Freshwater is fully entitled to an ardent faith in Jesus Christ and to interpret Biblical passages according to his faith. But he was not entitled to ignore direct, law-
ful edicts of his superiors while in the workplace,” Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor wrote in the lead opinion, which affirmed lower court rulings.
Freshwater’s Virginia-based attorney, Rita Dunaway, said she was disappointed but couldn’t com-ment further because she hadn’t talked with Freshwater about the decision or possible next steps.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Ballot Board has cleared the way for backers of a proposed initiative requiring bil-lions of dollars of state investment in alternative energy to continue their ballot effort.
The panel agreed unanimously Tuesday that the so-called Ohio Clean Energy Initiative amendment is a single ballot issue. That deci-sion frees Yes for Ohio’s Energy Future to collect the roughly 385,000 sig-natures required to put the issue before voters.
The amendment calls for $1.3 billion in annual investments over a decade in infrastructure, research and development related
to solar, wind and other energy sources.

CINCINNATI — A specially trained beagle’s smell test for polar bear pregnancies predicts there will be few new cubs for U.S. zoos this year — although a romantic trip to Pittsburgh appar-ently turned out well for a female bear in San Diego.
Animal conservation scientists at the Cincinnati Zoo worked with a dog trainer in Kansas to devise the test being tried out this year. Zoos around the country provided fecal samples that the 2-year-old dog named Elvis has been trained to sniff for proteins that scientists say are found only from pregnant polar bears.
Erin Curry of the Cincinnati Zoo’s Center for Conservation & Research of Endangered Wildlife said that with nearly all samples from 14 zoos checked, the Elvis test indicates this year’s cub class will be similar to last year’s, when only three cubs were born in U.S. zoos.
“Probably about the same,” Curry said. “We’re still waiting on a few (results).”
Confirming pregnancies in the massive bears has been dif-ficult, and zoo officials say know-ing would help them manage the threatened species. They can pro-vide dens with extra bedding, step up video monitoring and line up staff and volunteers for around-the-clock “cub watches.”
Curry said Elvis detected no pregnant polar bears at the Cincinnati Zoo, but she declined to divulge results for other facil-ities. She noted that expectant bears can have one to three cubs per pregnancy. Last year, twins were born at the Toledo Zoo, while the other birth occurred at the Buffalo Zoo.
Curry said any cubs born this
year would likely arrive over the next several weeks.
Officials at SeaWorld San Diego said they’re getting ready for the pitter-patter of little paws.
“A Polar Bear Cub May be on the Way!!!” SeaWorld announced Monday on its Facebook page. The posting said 18-year-old Szenja is “showing strong signs of mater-nity,” such as weight gain, finicky eating and making a nest in her den — and that Elvis thinks so, too. Szenja made a breeding visit to the Pittsburgh Zoo earlier in the year.
Columbus Zoo spokeswoman Jennifer Wilson said Elvis doesn’t think its female polar bears are pregnant, but zoo staffers are mon-itoring Aurora and Anana in their dens just in case, “since the dog is not 100 percent accurate.”
Curry said Elvis was 97 per-
cent accurate in trials with control samples from bears including ones that had already given birth. Matt Skogen, a former police officer who runs Ironheart High Performance Working Dogs in Shawnee, Kan., said he’s confident in Elvis’ predic-tions after months of training.
Curry said if the Elvis test proves reliable, there could be efforts to refine it to see whether it’s pos-sible for the beagle to detect preg-nancies in very early stages.
Meanwhile, Elvis’ nose was the bear-er of bad news for the Kansas City Zoo near his home, along with Cincinnati. Both got negative results.
“Every year we’ve been hopeful,” Curry said of Cincinnati’s Berit. The 14-year-old female has yet to birth a cub, and Curry said zoo staffers will meet soon to consider steps to try to increase fertility.
Beagle’s nose predicts few US polar bear cubs
SeaWorld San Diego | APA polar bear named Szenja plays with an enrichment device at the attraction in San Diego, Calif., in 2007. A 2-year-old beagle named Elvis, who has been trained to sniff fecal samples from polar bears to determine if they might be pregnant, agrees that Szenja may be expect-ing, say officials at SeaWorld San Diego. Zoos around the country provided fecal samples that the 2-year-old dog named Elvis has been trained to sniff for proteins that scientists say are found only from pregnant polar bears.

SANFORD, Fla. — George Zimmerman’s girl-friend said he tried to choke her about a week ago during an alterca-tion that wasn’t initial-ly reported to police, a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday during his first court appearance on domestic violence-related charges.
The prosecutor said Zimmerman’s girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, was in fear for her life because Zimmerman mentioned suicide and said he “had nothing to lose.” Zimmerman’s pub-lic defenders said after the hearing that he didn’t appear to be suicidal.
Judge Frederic Schott set Zimmerman’s bond at $9,000 and ordered that
Zimmerman stay away from Scheibe’s house, wear a monitoring device and refrain from contact with her. The judge says he can’t possess guns or ammunition or travel out-side of Florida.
Zimmerman has been charged with aggravated assault, a third-degree fel-ony punishable by up to five years in prison if con-victed. He also has been charged with battery and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors.
Schott said that Zimmerman’s previous brushes with the law weren’t a factor in the conditions he was impos-ing. Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the fatal shooting of teenag-er Trayvon Martin in a case that drew worldwide attention.
New allegation made against Zimmerman

COLUMBUS — The Engineers Foundation of Ohio (EFO) is offer-ing over $27,000 in academic schol-arships to qualifying engineering students for the 2013-2014 academic year.
“It’s programs like EFO scholar-ships that continue to give Ohio a technological edge in the inter-national marketplace by encourag-ing our best students and engineers to remain in the state,” says EFO Executive Director Tim Schaffer. Each year, EFO offers the scholar-ships to top engineering students from throughout Ohio.
To qualify for most EFO scholar-ships, applicants must be U.S. citi-zens, permanent residents of the state of Ohio, and be graduating high school seniors admitted to an engi-neering program approved by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) at an Ohio engineering college or Notre Dame. In addition, candidates must meet the minimum academic standards of a SAT score of 600 in math and 500 in reading or composition (or an ACT score of 29 in math and 25 in English) and a 3.0 grade point average on the four-point scale. Additional criteria apply to some scholarships. For instance, the Lloyd A. Chacey, PE, Memorial Scholarship provides $2,000 annual grants to col-lege juniors and seniors who must apply in their sophomore years.
EFO, a nonprofit charitable orga-nization established in 1964 by members of the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), also sponsors educational programs including MATHCOUNTS for junior high school students and the Imagine Engineering coloring contest for second graders. All EFO-supported programs and scholarships exist to elevate interest in math, science and engineering.
EFO’s scholarship application and brochure, which details the specific criteria for the scholarships offered this year, may be obtained from our website at www.ohioengineer.com (click on “Students and Educators,” then on “Programs for Students,” then on “Scholarships” and print from PDF files) or in high school guidance and career offices through-out Ohio or by calling EFO at 614-223-1177. The deadline for applica-tions is Dec. 15.

TIFFIN — I look at my daugh-ter who drinks strong and plenty of coffee. Then I listen to her com-plain that she has trouble falling to sleep. I’m sorry – and I’ve told her so – but caffeine to stay awake will do just that – it keeps you awake.
So when I hear that stimulant medications are being abused because they rev up the brain, and sedative medications are being abused because they work to slow down the brain – I have to wonder if I’m the only genius in town who sees that these drugs - you know – work against each other. One prescription drug that has me con-fused for a multitude of reasons is that of pain pills. Celebrities use pain pills because they claim they’re in pain, and then they get hooked on the pain pills, because they get you high.
Stimulants, sedatives and pain pills are the most popular drugs of abuse among youth. So let’s talk about the physical signs of pre-scription drugs so you know what to look for if you suspect abuse:
Excessive sweating, urina-tion, thirst, nausea and vomiting, uncontrollable diarrhea, drowsi-ness, dizziness, insomnia, loss of consciousness, physical depen-dence, addiction, hospitalization.
We cannot neglect the behav-ioral signs of prescription drugs so look at this list too.
Loss of interest in appearance or activities, extreme changes in circle of friends, lying or being deceitful, unaccounted time away from home or school, avoiding eye contact, borrowing money or hav-ing extra cash, poor performance in school or hobbies, sudden mood changes: irritability, negativity.
What can a parent do? Lock your medicines. Turn unused medicines into the Sheriffs’ offices drop boxes. Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot counties all have drop boxes 24/7 at the Sheriffs’ offices.
For more information, call the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties at 419-448-0640 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. week-days. The Board’s funded Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-826-1306.

Immaculate Conception Church
Steve ReedAP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE — As “Sweet Caroline” pumped through the stadium and playoff-starved Panthers fans dressed all in black celebrated a big victory, Tom Brady ran after an official in search of an explanation.
Brady and the Patriots were miffed after a penal-ty flag that was thrown in the end zone on the final play was suddenly picked up and waved off Monday night, giving the Carolina Panthers a 24-20 victory over New England for their sixth straight win.
Cam Newton led the Panthers 83 yards on 13 plays and threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr. with 59 seconds left to give the Panthers the lead.
The Patriots had a chance at an improbable comeback when Brady moved New England to the Carolina 18 with 3 seconds left and fired into the end zone as time expired. Rookie safety Robert Lester intercept-ed the pass, but an offi-cial at the back of the end zone threw a flag for pass interference on lineback-er Luke Kuechly, who had both arms wrapped around tight end Rob Gronkowski.
The officials then gathered, however, and referee Clete Blakeman announced there was no foul on the play and the
game was over.“There was no explana-
tion given to me. Officials ran off the field. I didn’t see anything,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “There was a flag thrown and then the game was over.”
Blakeman said after the game that back judge Terrence Miles saw there was contact and Kuechly was not playing the ball, and that initially led Miles to call defensive pass interference. But Blakeman said the offi-cials met and decided the ball was “underthrown” and it came down to a matter of “uncatchabil-ity.”
A pass-interference call
would have put the ball on the 1-yard line and given the Patriots one more shot at a game-win-ning touchdown with no time on the clock.
An angry Brady ran down two officials to argue the call as they
walked off the field, but later said he didn’t get a good look at the play.
“I don’t make the calls or the rules,” Brady said. “I wish it wouldn’t have come down to that. I think there were plenty of plays we could’ve made.”

CANDICE CHOIAP Food Industry Writer
NEW YORK — Butterball apparently has big fat mystery on its hands: The company says it doesn’t know why some of its turkeys wouldn’t plump up in time for Thanksgiving this year.
CEO Rod Brenneman says in an interview with the AP that it’s the first time it happened and that the company is investi-gating what went wrong. Butterball had announced last week that it will have a limited supply of large, fresh turkeys that are 16 pounds or heavier for the holidays.
“It’s a really good ques-tion. We don’t have an answer yet,” Brenneman said when asked about the cause. But he noted that turkeys are “biologi-cal creatures” subject to a
variety of factors.“For whatever reason,
they just didn’t gain quite as well this year,” he said.
Like many other tur-key producers, Butterball feeds its birds antibiotics to prevent and treat ill-nesses, which can occur from living in cramped quarters. The use of anti-biotics, which also pro-mote growth in livestock, has been the subject of concern that it could lead to antibiotic-resistant germs.
Butterball, a privately held company based in Garner, N.C., declined to say whether it made any changes to its feed for-mula this year. But the problem seems to have come up rather recently.
For much of the year, Butterball produces tur-keys that are frozen and stored until they’re ready to be sold for the holi-
days. But then in October and November, it shifts into production for fresh turkeys. And that’s when the company ran into problems with the tur-keys not gaining enough weight, Brenneman said.
It hasn’t been an issue for some other poultry producers.
“The weather was great, so the turkeys were a little bigger,” said Theo Weening, the global meat buyer for Whole Foods Market, which is based in Austin, Texas. The gro-cer works with smaller suppliers from around the country to sell turkeys that haven’t been treated with antibiotics.
Over at meat produc-er Cargill, spokesman Michael Martin says in an email that the company has never had a problem where its birds didn’t put on enough weight to pro-
duce an adequate supply of large turkeys.
Mark Kastel, founder of The Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-based group that advocates for organic farming, noted that major poultry producers tightly control production fac-tors, making Butterball’s shortage unusual.
“I thought that was very mysterious. I could not think of a rational explanation,” Kastel said, suggesting that a change in the feed formula may have been to blame.
Butterball declined to say whether the issue has been resolved or provide details on the extent of its shortage. But Big Y, a supermarket chain based in Springfield, Mass., said in a statement that it had been notified by the company that orders across the country were cut by 50 percent.
Butterball puzzled over turkeys that won’t fatten
Turkey math
APThis 2007 file photo shows a turkey with thermometer. Use an instant thermometer inserted at the innermost part of the thigh (without touching bone) to determine when your turkey is done. The meat needs to hit 165 F for safe eating, though some people say thigh meat tastes better at 170 F. A turkey with stuffing will take longer than one without.

Smartphone self-por-traits are now so preva-lent that Britain’s Oxford University Press has
crowned “selfie,” the name the public has given them, as the word the year for 2013.
“Selfies” are especially popular with fans who
want an arm’s length close-up of them standing cheek to cheek with their idols.
Here is a gallery of “selfies” from around the world.
‘Selfie’ is the word ... of the year
AP In this Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012, file photo Actress Meryl Streep uses her IPhone to take a photo of her and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton following the State Department Dinner for the Kennedy Center Honors gala at the State Department in Washington. “Selfie” the smartphone self-portrait has been declared word of the year for 2013 by Britain’s Oxford University Press.
APIn this Sept. 5, 2012, file photo, provided by NASA, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide, Expedition 32 flight engineer, uses a digital still camera to expose a photo of his helmet visor dur-ing the mission’s third session of extravehicular activity (EVA). During the six-hour, 28-minute spacewalk, Hoshide and NASA astronaut Sunita Williams (visible in the reflections of Hoshide’s helmet visor), flight engineer, installed a camera on the International Space Station’s robotic arm, Canadarm2. “Selfie” the smartphone self-portrait has been declared word of the year for 2013 by Britain’s Oxford University Press.
