timely holiday
delivery
BY MIKE FORD

DELPHOS — The United
States Postal Service has
issued its holiday mail tips
for December. The processing
center’s workload is usually
heavy with added Christmas
cards and packages. Many
have experienced hindered
delivery in recent weeks but
Delphos Postmaster Marilyn
Mulholland said current delays
shouldn’t influence holiday
delivery; even to military per-
sonnel around the world.
“For the military, we
can guarantee express mail
delivery before Christmas if
they have it here by Dec. 18.
Express mail is handled dif-
ferently than anything else
and the only problems we’re
having now is the ones mak-
ing the trucks up in Toledo,”
she said.
A USPS press release indi-
cates the following deadlines
for mail sent to those in the
military: Dec. 4 for letters,
cards and priority mail to Iraq;
Dec. 10 for letters, cards and
priority mail to all other APO/
FPO zip codes; and Dec. 18
for express mail military ser-
vice to APO/FPO zip codes
where available.
As for Christmas cards and
packages sent to loved ones
in the US, the release indi-
cates the following: Dec. 15
for parcel post; Dec. 20 for
first-class mail; Dec. 21 for
priority mail; and Dec. 22 for
express mail. Mulholland said
the deadlines “should” hold.
“Parcel Post isn’t as speedy
as priority or first class; that’s
why there is an earlier dead-
line. It can sometimes take
up to two weeks. I’m hoping
it doesn’t take longer; they

Couple survived
tornado, new
house robbed
MILLBURY (AP) — An
Ohio couple still recovering
physically from a June tor-
nado have now fallen victim
to a thief that struck their
replacement home.
Ed and Kris Claus say over
Thanksgiving weekend some-
one stole their new washer and
dryer, along with tools being
used to finish their new house
in Millbury. They haven’t yet
moved in.
A tornado that struck the
community near Toledo on
June 5 killed six people and
destroyed numerous homes,
including the Clauses.
Ed Claus’ leg and hip were
shattered, while his wife broke
a shoulder and ribs and suf-
fered other injuries.
Kris Claus tells WTOL-TV
the theft is an “extra aggra-
vation.” Her husband says
they’ve had a bad year and
hope 2011 will be better.
Scores respond
to ad offering
$100 to needy
CANTON (AP) — A
Thanksgiving Day newspa-
per ad in Ohio offering $100
each to 150 needy families has
so far drawn more than 160
responses.
The three anonymous
donors behind the classified
ad in The Repository took
their cue from a similar ad
that appeared in the Canton
newspaper during the Great
Depression. At that time, a
man known by the pseudonym
“B. Virdot” offered $10 each
to 75 families.
People who want to be
considered for the renewed
Christmas-season gesture will
be judged by a priest, minister
and rabbi.
The Repository reported
Thursday that two letters have
come not from people seeking
the money but from donors
who sent their own $100 con-
tributions so the gift offer
could be extended.

State lifts lake
warning over
toxic algae issue
COLUMBUS (AP) — A
warning about toxic blue-
green algae has been lifted
at the last Ohio state park
lake that was still cautioning
people.
Spokeswoman Heidi
Hetzel-Evans says the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources is finally closing
the season on algae.
Summer alerts had covered
20 public lakes and ponds
across the state, including
Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio’s
largest inland lake.
The last advisory ended
Thursday at Wingfoot Lake
State Park, a new park at a for-
mer Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co. recreation area in north-
east Ohio’s Portage County.
High toxin levels were
detected before the park offi-
cially opened in August.
Hetzel-Evans tells The
Columbus Dispatch state
agencies will spend the winter
working on how to combat
algae next year.

WikiLeaks goes to Swiss
domain after attacks
By LOUISE
NORDSTROM
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM — ago to campaign for freedom
WikiLeaks was forced today
to switch over to a Swiss
domain name, wikileaks.ch,
after a new round of hacker
attacks on its system prompt-
ed its American domain name
provider to withdraw service.
WikiLeaks’ U.S. domain
name system provider,
EveryDNS, withdrew service
to the wikileaks.org name late
Thursday, saying it took the
action because the new hack-
er attacks threatened the rest
of its network.
“Wikileaks.org has become
the target of multiple distrib-
uted denial of service attacks.
These attacks have, and future
attacks would, threaten the
stability of the EveryDNS.net
infrastructure,” EveryDNS,
headquartered in Manchester,
New Hampshire, said .
EveryDNS.net provides
access to some 500,000 web-
sites.
In a tweet on today, the
owner of EveryDNS, Dynamic
Network Services Inc., wrote
that “trust is paramount: Our
users and customers are our
most important asset.” It did not
specify whether it was referring
to WikiLeaks, however.
WikiLeaks confirmed the
move in a separate tweet, say-
ing “WikiLeaks.org domain
killed by US everydns.net
after claimed mass attacks.”
It was not clear where the
alleged attacks were coming
from.
U.S. money went to foreign banks
By JEANNINE AVERSA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Federal Reserve revealed
details Wednesday of trillions
in emergency aid it gave to
U.S. and foreign banks and
to nonbank companies rang-
ing from General Electric to
Harley-Davidson during the
financial crisis.
Among the largest recipi-
ents were foreign central
banks, such as the European
Central Bank, Bank of
England and the Bank of
Japan. They borrowed huge
amounts of dollars from the
Fed to assist their own banks.
New documents show
that the most loan and other
aid for U.S. institutions over
time went to Citigroup ($2.2
trillion), followed by Merrill
Lynch ($2.1 trillion), Morgan
Stanley ($2 trillion), Bear
Stearns ($960 billion), Bank
of America ($887 billion),
Goldman Sachs ($615 bil-
lion), JPMorgan Chase ($178
billion) and Wells Fargo
($154 billion).
Merrill Lynch was later
acquired by Bank of America,
while Bear Stearns collapsed
and was sold to JPMorgan.

Some in military want to keep ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’
By ANNE FLAHERTY
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
top uniformed officers of the
Army and the Marines say
letting gays serve openly in
the military at a time of war
would be divisive and dif-
ficult, sharply challenging a
new Pentagon study that cal-
culates the risk as low.
Their assessment, expect-
ed today at a Senate hearing,
was likely to become politi-
cal ammunition for Arizona
Sen. John McCain and other
Republicans fighting to keep
Congress from repealing the
1993 law that prohibits gays
from acknowledging their
sexual orientation. Democrats
have promised a vote this
month to repeal the “don’t
ask, don’t tell” law, although
its chances of passing this
year were considered dim.
Testimony from Amos and
the other service chiefs was
obtained in advance by The
Associated Press.
President Barack Obama
has called on Congress to
overturn the ban on openly
gay service. Defense Secretary
Robert Gates and Adm. Mike
Mullen, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, agreed and
ordered a 10-month study
WikiLeaks’ new domain,
wikileaks.ch, is owned by the
Swiss Pirate Party, a politi-
cal group formed two years
of information and sensible
technology policy.
Pascal Gloor, the party’s
vice president, said they reg-
istered the domain about six
months ago.
“We wanted to show our
support for Wikileaks,” he
told the Associated Press by
telephone, adding the party
is only offering the domain
name right now and that it
hasn’t provided the site with
any servers or infrastructure.
WikiLeaks has previous-
ly claimed that intelligence
agencies from the U.S. and
elsewhere have been target-
ing its site, which has spilled
thousands of embarrassing
U.S. diplomatic cables as
well as classified U.S. mili-
tary documents.
WikiLeaks has so far
released some 667 cables —
out of the 250,000 it says it
has on file.
Earlier this week,
WikiLeaks’ Swedish server
host, Bahnhof, confirmed that
the website had been hit by
a cyber attack just before it
leaked thousands of classified
documents.
In addition to the latest
batch of sensitive material,
WikiLeaks has angered the
U.S. and other governments
by publishing almost half
a million secret documents
about the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq. It is not clear how
WikiLeaks obtained the dip-
billion, Deutsche Bank ($97
billion) and the Royal Bank of
Scotland ($92 billion).
The documents are a
reminder of how crippled the
financial system had become
during the crisis and how
much it’s recovered since.
Banks earned $14 billion
from July through September
this year.
Many of the individual
loans the banks took were
worth billions and had short
durations but were paid back
and renewed many times.
Large non-banking com-
panies in the U.S. used the
Fed’s lending programs to pay
employees or suppliers or to
make loans through their sub-
sidiaries. They did so because
private financing had all but
evaporated. Over time, GE
borrowed a total of more than
$16 billion, Harley-Davidson
$2.3 billion and a group of
independent Caterpillar deal-
ers $733 million.
Two other recipients were
the California State Teachers
Retirement System and the
City of Bristol (Conn.) General
City Retirement Fund.
The Fed released the data in
the form of more than 21,000
transactions. The disclosures
are required under the finan-
cial overhaul law. The Fed’s
programs were credited with
helping restore the health of
looking at the attitudes of
service members toward gay
troops.
Released earlier this week,
the study found that about
30 percent of troops predict-
ed problems would occur if
“don’t ask, don’t tell” were
repealed.
Most of the troops with
concerns were serving in
combat roles. Nearly 60 per-
cent of troops in the Marine
Corps and in Army combat
units, such as infantry and
special operations, said they
thought allowing gays to be
open about their sexual orien-
tation would hurt their units’
ability to fight on the battle-
field.
“I cannot reconcile, nor
turn my back, on the nega-
tive perceptions held by
our Marines who are most
engaged in the hard work
of day-to-day operations in
Afghanistan,” Amos said.
His assessment was gen-
erally backed by the Army
chief of staff, Gen. George
Casey, who led the Iraq war
under President George W.
Bush. Casey said the policy
shift, if implemented prop-
erly, wouldn’t keep the Army
from doing its job, and he pre-
dicted repeal would pose only
a moderate risk to his force.

lomatic documents, but the
U.S. government’s prime
suspect is an Army private,
Bradley Manning, who is in
custody on charges of leaking
other classified documents to
WikiLeaks.
On Wednesday, Amazon.
com Inc. — which had pro-
vided WikiLeaks with use of
its servers to distribute embar-
rassing State Department
communications and other
documents — evicted it. The
site remains on the servers of
its Swedish provider.
The ouster from Amazon
came after congressional
staff questioned the com-
pany about its relationship
with WikiLeaks. Sen. Joe
Lieberman praised Amazon’s
action and said it should “set
the standard” for companies
WikiLeaks is using to distrib-
ute “illegally seized material”
In its decision to terminate
the service for Wikileaks,
EveryDNS cited what it called
a violation of the provision
stating that a member should
“not interfere with another
member’s use and enjoyment
of the service.”
Andre Rickardsson, an
expert on file-sharing and
information technology
security at Sweden’s Bitsec
Consulting, said domain
name providers normally
don’t drop their clients unless
the clients themselves have
breached their user contract.
“WikiLeaks is not behind

WikiLeaks’ operations,” he
said.
individual banks and stabilize
the financial system.
The documents disclosed
details of more than $3.3
trillion in loans to financial
institutions, companies and
foreign central banks during
the crisis. The figure comes
from adding up the maximum
amount of aid provided for
each of the Fed’s credit pro-
grams.
The Fed detailed more than
$2 trillion it lent through eight
programs from December
2007 to July this year to ease
a credit crisis. It came at a
time when the financial melt-
down had caused credit to
virtually dry up, sidelining
companies and municipalities
in need of short-term cash.
The credit clog worsened the
deepest recession since the
Great Depression.
“The system basically
failed because banks stopped
lending to each other,” said
Paul Miller, a banking ana-
lyst at FBR Capital Markets.
“The Fed essentially opened
the floodgates and pushed as
much liquidity into the system
as possible. And it worked. It
helped stabilize the system.”
The emergency credit pro-
grams had never been used
before and are now defunct.
Most of the loans have been
repaid, and none are overdue,
Fed officials say.
But, he added, chang-
ing the law now would “add
another level of stress to
any already stretched force”
and be more difficult on the
Army, particularly its com-
bat units, than the recent
Pentagon study suggests.
Gates and Mullen have
said they believe resistance
can be addressed through
training and education. They
also cite experience with gay
troops as a mitigating factor.
According to the study, 84
percent of Marines in combat
roles who find they’re work-
ing with a gay comrade said
they did not see any nega-
tive impact on unit morale or
cohesion.
“In terms of actual disrup-
tion experienced, as opposed
to predicted disruption, the
distinction between combat
arms communities and the
force as a whole is negligi-
ble,” said Marine Gen. James
Cartwright, the No. 2 officer
on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Air Force and Navy
chiefs were expected to offer
considerably milder assess-
ments of repeal than their
Army and Marine counter-
parts. According to the study,
some 70 percent of airmen
and sailors predict few prob-
lems with lifting the ban.

to season-high scoring
BY TOM WITHERS
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Cradling
the ball and staring at the rim,
LeBron James stood at the
free-throw line inside a gigan-
tic pressure cooker.
“There was a lot of hatred
in the air,” Miami center
Zydrunas Ilgauskas said.
James inhaled it and
laughed.
As more than 20,000 jilt-
ed fans, many of the same
ones who wore his jersey and
routinely serenaded him with
“M-V-P” chants, tried to rattle
James with cries of “Akron
Hates You!” he smiled so
widely that his mouthpiece
nearly fell to the court.
Cleveland fans wanted
revenge.
James only gave them
more pain.
“I just tried to keep a clear
head about it,” James said
of the moment. “It’s nothing
personal with these fans and it
won’t be — ever.”
His homecoming went just
as he planned.
Tuning out earsplitting
boos and shrugging off vulgar
chants intended to throw him
off his game, James scored a
season-high 38 points — 24
in a third quarter of magnifi-
cence — and led the Miami
Heat to their most complete
victory to date, 118-90 over
the Cavaliers on Thursday
night.
James didn’t even have
to play in the fourth quarter
when Cleveland fans contin-
owner Dan Gilbert bit his
lower lip as he took the long
way out of Quicken Loans
Arena. He didn’t want to pass
Miami’s locker room, where
James, Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh — the Heat’s cele-
brated Three Kings — basked
in a win they hope can further
bond them and propel them
to the NBA title everyone
seemed to feel was destined
before a sluggish start.
The Heat may one day look
back at James’ overhyped
return as a turning point.
“The one thing we preach in
Miami is family,” said Wade,
who added 22 points. “This
is our brother coming back
into a very emotional situa-
tion. We knew it was going to
be a very hostile environment.
So we had each other’s back.
We knew this guy can handle
himself in any situation. He
can rise to the occasion when
things look the darkest, and he
did that tonight.”
It didn’t go the way
Cleveland fans hoped. They
waited five months for a
chance to yell and scream and
cuss at James, who toyed and
teased them this summer by
hinting that he would re-sign
with the Cavaliers only to
announce he was leaving for
Miami during a one-hour TV
special.
They felt betrayed by one
of their own, the kid from
Akron they watched grow into
a man.
Cleveland wanted an apol-
ogy. It never came.
James refused to acknowl-
in 30 minutes. “A lot of mem-
ories I have here and I have
the utmost respect for my
fans. I understand their frus-
tration. I was frustrated, also,
because we didn’t accomplish
what we wanted to at the end
of the day.”
Earlier in the day, James sat
with friends and associates in
the lounge at the Ritz-Carlton.
He was asked if he was ready
to take on whatever wrath
Cleveland fans had in store.
“Yes sir,” he said. “I will
be. I will be.”
He was more than ready.
As he did so many times
during seven seasons for the
Cavs, the two-time league
MVP did anything he wanted
on the floor. In the third quar-
ter, he made 10-of-12 shots,
jumpers from every angle. He
taunted Cleveland’s bench
after draining a seemingly
impossible baseline shot.
“I know this court. I’ve
made a lot of shots on this
court,” he said. “Just wanted
to be aggressive, just try to
keep them out of the game.
I knew they were going to
try to make a run in the third
quarter, but we were able to
get stops and we were able to
get some shots.”
James said his trash talk
directed at the Cavs’ bench
was in fun.
“For me, it was,” he said.
The Cavs weren’t amused,
but none of them did any-
thing about it. There were no
rough fouls, no bumps, no
resistance.
With security guards form-
the possibility of an ugly inci-
dent.
It was rowdy, not violent.
A Cavaliers spokesman said
there was only one arrest and
four ejections.
Just in case, Moondog, the
Cavs’ fuzzy mascot, wore a
bulletproof vest.
Booed every time he
touched the ball, James scored
14 points in the first half as
the Heat opened a 59-40 lead
before blowing it open in the
third, outscoring Cleveland
36-25. With his team up 30,
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
pulled James, who spent the
final 12 minutes as a spec-
tator, glancing at the giant
scoreboard and into the stands
at so many familiar faces.
The Cavaliers gave up. The
crowd, which held up signs
saying “Quitter” ‘’Merry
Quitness” ‘’Traitor” and “You
Lied”, wouldn’t go quietly.
As the clock wound down,
fans chanted “Scot-tie Pip-
pen!” toward James, who
shook his head and managed
to laugh.
He was the first player
introduced before tip-off,
and as James lined up for the
national anthem, Gilbert was
shown on the arena’s giant
scoreboard, drawing a raucous
ovation. In the hours after
James’ infamous announce-
ment that he was leaving,
Gilbert ripped him in an open
letter to Cavs fans and later
accused the 25-year-old of
quitting during the playoffs
the past two seasons.
James looked up, saw

WOMEN’S TOP 25 CAPSULES

TAMPA, Fla. — Stefanie Dolson

Connecticut moved a step closer to
the longest Division I winning streak in
college basketball history by beginning
Big East play with an 80-54 rout of
South Florida on Thursday night.
The two-time defending national
champions never trailed, scoring the
first 12 points of the game and build-
ing a 22-2 lead before USF (5-3, 0-1)
finally made its first field goal with just
more than 9 minutes left in the open-
ing half.
The Huskies (7-0, 1-0) extended
the longest winning streak by a wom-
en’s team to 85 games — three shy
of the men’s record set by UCLA from
1971-74. UConn can surpass that mark
by defeating Sacred Heart, Marquette,
No. 6 Ohio State and No. 15 Florida
State over the next three weeks.
No. 4 Xavier 69, So.California 66
CINCINNATI (AP) — Amber Harris
had 28 points and 14 rebounds, help-
ing Xavier edge Southern California.
Ta’Shia Phillips added 20 points
and 16 boards for Xavier, which is off
to a 7-0 start for the second consecu-
tive season.
Briana Gilbreath set career highs
with 26 points and four 3-pointers for
the Trojans (4-3), who shot 35 percent
from the field and committed 14 turn-
overs. Gilbreath also had 12 rebounds
and three steals.
Gilbreath hit a jumper with 2:08 left
to give USC a 66-63 lead but Harris
and Phillips combined for the last six
points of the game.
No. 5 Duke 59, Wisconsin 51
MADISON, Wis. — Jasmine
Thomas scored 14 points and Duke
held off Wisconsin, giving the Atlantic
Coast Conference a 6-5 victory in the
ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Finishing a four-game road trip,
the Blue Devils (8-0) shot only 33
percent (20 of 60) from the field. But
the Badgers (2-6) were sloppy with the
ball and couldn’t capitalize on several
opportunities due to 21 turnovers.

Churches struggle to bridge the digital divide

As every avid Twitter user knows, there are
only 140 characters in a “tweet” and that in-
cludes the empty spaces.
The bishops gathered at the ancient Council
of Nicea didn’t face that kind of communica-
come the “first point of reference” in daily life,
TERRY MATTINGLY warned Herzog.
“The implications of that for a church which
On is struggling to get those same young people to
enter our churches on Sunday are staggering.
media?”
The theoretical stakes are high, noted Her-
zog, but it has also become impossible to ignore
the raw numbers. For example, if the 500 mil-
lion active Facebook users became their own

tions challenge and, thus, produced an old-
fashioned creed that in English is at least 1,161
characters long.
No wonder so many of the gray-haired ad-
ministrators in black suits in the U.S. Confer-
ence of Catholic Bishops struggle with life
online.
It’s hard to take seriously the frivolous-
sounding words -- “blog” and “tweet” leap to
mind -- that define reality among the natives
on what Pope Benedict XVI calls the “Digital
Continent.”
“In the past, the church would often build
new parish structures, knowing that people
would recognize the church architecture and
start showing up. On the Digital Continent,
‘If you build it, they will come’ does not hold
true,” said Bishop Ronald Herzog of Alexan-
dria, La., in a report from the body’s communi-
cations committee.
“We digital immigrants need lessons on the
digital culture, just as we expect missionaries to
learn the cultures of the people they are evan-
gelizing. We have to be enculturated. It’s more
than just learning how to create a Facebook ac-
count.”
Religion
This is important news in an era in which re-
cent research from the Pew Forum on Religion
and Public Life found that the Catholic Church
was retaining 68 percent of its members who,
as children, were raised in the fold. While the
church is making converts, those who have left
Catholicism in recent years outnumber those
who have joined by nearly a 4-to-1 ratio.
Almost half of those who left Catholicism
and did not join another church exited before
the age of 18, as did one-third of those who
chose to join another church. Another 30 per-
cent of young Catholics left the church by
the age of 24. At that point, the departure rate
slowed down.
Truth is, it is almost impossible to talk about
the lives of teens and young adults without
discussion the growing power of their social-
media networks. For young people worldwide,
social media and their mobile devices have be-
If the church is not on their mobile device, it
doesn’t exist.”
As recently as a similar report in 2007, it
was clear the bishops were hesitant to discuss
the digital world because they feared its power
when used by church critics, said Rocco Pal-
mo, who produces the influential “Whispers in
the Loggia” weblog about Catholic news and
trends.
The Herzog report was a step forward, pri-
marily because the bishops seem to realize this
is a subject that they cannot ignore. That’s sig-
nificant in an era in which many Vatican offi-
cials still cling to their fax machines and strug-
gle to keep up with their e-mail. During the
recent Baltimore meetings, said Palmo, there
were more iPads in the hands of younger bish-
ops “than you would find at your local Apple
store.”
“In the old days, that stone church on the
corner was a sign of the presence of God in
your community. Well, that’s what a church
website is today,” he said. If bishops and priests
cannot grasp “that one-dimensional reality in
our culture, how are they supposed to grasp the
two-dimensional, interactive world of social
nation, it would be the world’s third-largest --
behind China and India.
The bottom line: Catholicism may be “fac-
ing as great a challenge as that of the Protestant
Reformation,” said the bishop.
“Anyone can create a blog. Everyone’s opin-
ion is valid. And if a question or contradiction
is posted, the digital natives expect a response
and something resembling a conversation,”
said Herzog. “We can choose not to enter into
that cultural mindset, but we do so at great peril
to the church’s credibility and approachability
in the minds of the natives. ...
“This is a new form of pastoral ministry. It
may not be the platform we were seeking, but
it is an opportunity of such magnitude that we
should consider carefully the consequences of
disregarding it.”

Class battle benefits Delphos Community Christmas Project

Nancy Spencer photos

Jefferson High School Student Council hosted a “Battle of the Classes” tree decorating
contest this week. The Interfaith Thrift Shop donated the trees seniors, juniors, sopho-
mores, freshmen and the MH class decorated with ornaments and items to be donated to
the Delphos Community Christmas Project. Council member DeLannie Hicks came up
with the idea to donate the trees and their contents to the project, according to advisor
Stephanie Braun. The MH class was declared the winner today. With the tree are, from
left, Brandon Harruff, Robert Brown, Bradley Harruff and Tyler Brown.
Seniors with their tree are, from left, Dulton Moore, Kristin Klausing and Kristy
Schuerman. The senior tree took fourth place.

The freshmen tree is represented by, from bottom left clockwise, Gabrielle Pimpas,
Riliegh Stockwell, Ross Thompson, Kenidi Ulm and Dena Frye. The freshmen tree was
in fifth place.

Barber keeps clipping after crash

But Song wasn’t about to
let the horrifying moment get
in the way of a good haircut.
He was momentarily
stunned, yes, when the vehi-

customer’s hair.
