PIQUA — Dick Lumpkin’s Auto Body Inc. isnow officially a three–generation family businesswith the addition of Cody Lumpkin, founder DickLumpkin’s grandson.“I’m excited. I don’t have to think about what I

want to do in the future; I already got a plan fig-ured out,” said Cody Lumpkin, 17, when askedhow it makes him feel to be joining the familybusiness. He explained his plan is studying busi-ness at Wright State University after graduatinghigh school next year.Cody’s father, Mike Lumpkin, said that there is

a lot for his son to learn about the business.“He has to learn the steps of the back (garage);

get a feel for each step and what it takes to do thatprocedure, and then I see him up front doing cus-tomer service, paperwork, and stuff like that,”

Mike Lumpkin said.Mike Lumpkin said he had mixed feelings

about his son joining the business.“In a way, I was glad that he wanted to do it, but

in a way, I didn’t want him to do it because we doput in a lot of hours,” he’s said. “You know, it’s achanging thing just from when I started, till now.

I can only imagine in 30 or 40 years what the dif-ferences are going to be.”Change, indeed. Dick Lumpkin said that his

business has seen many changes since its incep-tion in the early 1960s when it opened on North

INET no longer free offering to cityBY BETHANY J.ROYERStaff writerbroyer@dailycall.com

PIQUA — Thanks, or nothanks to Senate Bill 117signed by then-Gov. TedStrickland back in 2007 anew, state-issued video-au-thorization process replacedthe local cable televisionfranchise process.

The new law gave the De-partment of Commerce juris-diction over cable televisionproviders. It also allowed alocal cable franchise to applyfor a state-issued cable au-thorization, rather than hav-ing to apply for eachmunicipality or township. It’ssomething that Time Warnerdid in February 2010 for thecity of Piqua and as such wasgranted a Video Service

Agreement or VSA.This new franchise agree-

ment with the state replacedthe previous local agreementwhich required Time Warnerto provide an InstitutionalNetwork or INET free to thecity of Piqua, a service thathas been provided since1999.However, with the new

agreement, and after recentnotification from Time

Warner, INET will no longerbe provided free to the city ofPiqua.Piqua was one of only a

handful of communities inthe area still receiving freeaccess to INET and as of Jan.1, 2012, a negotiated fee of$4,137.45 will be billedmonthly to the city to con-tinue the service. A servicethat the city has been usingfor nearly 13 years and has

become an integral part ofthe city’s technological infra-structure.To choose another type of

connection or reconfigure thecity’s infrastructure would byno means be an easy en-deavor that could include ad-ditional expenses, even newequipment.At last week’s Piqua City

Americans throw away 25 per-cent more trash during the holidaysthan any other time of year. Theextra waste amounts to 25 milliontons of garbage, or about one mil-lion extra tons per week. Much ofthe 28 billion pounds of edible foodthrown away each year is wastedduring the holiday season.

There are many things you cando to reduce the amount of wastegenerated during the holidays. Thetips below cover a wide variety ofthings you can do from reducingpaper products used to changingyour gift-giving focus.

• Buy holiday cards made fromrecycled paper or make your owncreative cards on recycled paper.

• Reuse packaging cartons andshipping materials.

• Buy outdoor light strands thatare wired in parallel. If one bulbgoes bad, the others still work, soyou won’t be throwing away “bad”strands.

• Put all your lights on timers forenergy savings and peace of mindwhile you’re away.

• Use those tins you’ve beensaving for gift boxes.

• Plan ahead. Making a list willsave time, money and last-minuteshopping frenzies.

• Keep it simple: one thoughtfulgift is better than six wrapped pack-ages of unwanted gifts.

• Let children know that whatyou really want does not have tocome from a store. Their time iseven more valuable. Children cangive coupons for their time asChristmas presents in ways suchas taking on extra chores, cookingdinners, watching a younger siblingor giving plenty of hugs and kisses.

• Give the gift of an experience— music lessons, lessons for anew hobby, a massage, a trip to astate park, or tickets to a sportingevent or play. This is perfect forfriends who want to try something

new but aren’t willing to spend themoney on themselves. Plus, youdon’t have to wrap the gift.

• Give a monetary donation to alocal charity in someone else’sname. Many people feel goodknowing that they are helping outsomeone during the holidays.

• Invest in your family andfriends. Instead of giving a gift, con-tribute to a child’s savings account,education IRA or give them a U.S.Savings Bond.

• Don’t wrap oversized gifts.Hide them and give the recipientclues. Make the search a treasurehunt.

• Make the wrapping a usefulpart of the gift; put cookies in aflower pot or hide jewelry in a newpair of gloves or socks. Just makesure that the receiver finds the giftif it’s hidden!

• Thousands of paper and plas-tic shopping bags end up in land-fills every year. Reduce the numberof bags thrown out by bringingreusable cloth bags for holiday giftshopping. Tell store clerks you don'tneed a bag for small or oversizedpurchases.

• About 40 percent of all batterysales occur during the holiday sea-son. Buy rechargeable batteries toaccompany your electronic gifts,and consider giving a batterycharger as well. Rechargeable bat-teries reduce the amount of poten-tially harmful materials thrownaway, and can save money in thelong run.

• Turn off or unplug holidaylights during the day. Doing so willnot only save energy, but will alsohelp your lights last longer.

• Approximately 33 million liveChristmas trees are sold in NorthAmerica every year. After the holi-days, look for ways to recycle yourtree instead of sending it to a land-fill. The Miami County TransferStation will take trees after the holi-

days free for disposal.• To help prevent waste from

cutting down and disposing of livetrees, you can buy a potted treeand plant it after the holidays.

• Have a create-your-own-deco-rations party! Invite family andfriends to create and use holidaydecorations such as ornamentsmade from old greeting cards orcookie dough, garlands made fromstrung popcorn or cranberries,wreaths made from artificial greensand flowers, and potpourri madefrom kitchen spices such as cinna-mon and cloves.

• Consider the durability of aproduct before you buy it as a gift.Cheaper, less durable items oftenwear out quickly, creating wasteand costing you money.

• When buying gifts, checkproduct labels to determine anitem's recycleability and whether itis made from recycled materials.Buying recycled encourages manu-facturers to make more recycled-content products available.

• When shipping, reuse foampeanuts or other packaging materi-als.

• Use reusable grocery andshopping bags and make sure torecycle the non-reusable ones.

Use rechargeable batteries forcameras, flashlights, etc.

If you have several events orparties in a short amount of timebuy food items in bulk.You will savea trip to the grocery and use lesspackaging!

Instead of buying new items(Ex. A dress for a party, morechairs, etc.) consider borrowing orrenting things.

Compost your leftover food- it’seasy and a great fertilizer!

Save all gift-wrapping and deco-rations to reuse later or wrap giftsin old maps, posters, sheet music,fabric scraps or wallpaper scraps.

Other items to considerfor the environment:Energy Conservation• Make sure to turn off or unplug holi-day decorations when they are not inuse.• Be sure holiday decorations are notplaced on or obstructing air vents.• When cooking, use your microwaveoven as much as possible or planyour oven baking to avoid continuous-ly reheating the oven.• Reduce your light display by one ortwo strands.You may not even noticethe subtle change.

Water Conservation• Defrost frozen items in the refrigera-tor, not under running water.• Run only full loads in the washingmachine and dishwater.• When washing dishes keep washingsoap usage to a minimum. It helpsreduce the amount of rinse waterneeded.• Don’t run the kitchen faucet continu-ously while washing dishes.• Let pots and pans soak instead ofletting the water run while you cleanthem.• Minimize the number of dishes usedat holiday parties.

Waste Reduction Tips for the Holidays

• An estimated 2.6 billion holiday cardsare sold each year in the United States,enough to fill a football field 10 storieshigh. Electronic holiday greeting cards,offered through a variety of websites, area convenient, no-cost, waste-free alter-native.

• It’s estimated that betweenThanksgiving and NewYear’s Day, morethan 1 million tons of additional waste isgenerated each week nationwide. In fact,38,000 miles of ribbon alone is thrownout each year — enough to tie a bowaround the Earth.

• Using LED holiday lights during the hol-idays uses about 99 percent less energythan larger, traditional holiday bulbs andlast up to 100,000 hours when usedindoors.

What You Need• men's over the calf tube socks• clean cat litter• 3 plastic recloseable bags• 3 buttons• material with a holi-day pattern• white yarn• 1 red jingle bell• 3 black plastic gems,beads, or dots

What you doUsing clean cat litter,fill each plastic bagand seal, each onehaving less litter thanthe other so that youend up with three dif-ferent sizes. Put thelargest sealed baginside the tube sock.Push the bag all theway to the bottom(toe) of the sock. Putthe medium sized baginside the sock andthen the smallest bagon top. Carefully laythe sock on its side sothat it is easier towork with. Tie a piece of white yarnin between each litter bag, creatingthe snowman's sections. There

should be one piece of yarn tiedover each bag.You should still havethe top of the sock left, approxi-mately 3"-5" in length.

Stand the snowmanup and move the bodysections around untilhe is in a standingposition and canremain that way on hisown. Fold the top ofthe sock down to forma cap and to cover thetop piece of whiteyarn. Using pinkingshears cut a strip ofholiday fabric and tiearound the hat. Gluethe red jingle bell inplace on the tiedmaterial.

Cut another strip ofmaterial and tiearound the neck tofashion a scarf. Cutthree squares out ofthe fabric and glue indifferent spots on thesnowman's body (see

photo). Glue a button to each mate-rial patch. Glue the black beads inplace for eyes and nose.

tolerance for traffic viola-tions and no warnings willbe issued during the trafficblitz. A primary goal will beto remove alcohol and drugimpaired drivers fromcounty roadways. There isusually an increase in alco-hol consumption over the

In Brief

BY KJ MACCLENNAN

For the Daily Call

BRADFORD — Duringits meeting Wednedaynight, the Bradford Boardof Education received do-nations, heard from stu-dents, recognized studentsand discussed the 2012-13calendar.The board thanked the

Covington Eagles for theirsupport of BradfordSchool District. The Cov-ington Eagles have paidfor the One-Call Now sys-tem for Bradford Schoolsfor several years and haveagreed to continue.“The One-Call Now sys-

tem is used to reach over1,200 staff, parents andcommunity members,” Su-perintendent Jeff Patricksaid.The Covington Eagles

have also provided nearly$1500 for field trip fund-ing and $2000 towardscholarships.The board also thanked

the Miami County Foun-dation, who paid for thefifth-grade Bruckner Na-ture Center field trips.“This has been a tradi-

tion since I was in schoolhere.” Patrick said.Another tradition is for

the board to hear a pres-entation from some of thestudents who went on theeighth-grade trip toWash-ington D.C.The board saw a brief

PowerPoint presentationput together by DrewPatty, Nick Hoover andRebekah Lavey.Each student talked

about the sites they sawon the various days of thetrip and then talked abouttheir favorite spot. Hooverliked Madam Trousseau’s

Wax Museum; whileLavey liked ArlingtonCemetery and Patty’s fa-vorite was the Tomb of theUnknown Soldier.The board also heard

from several of the chap-erones about how well be-haved all of the studentswere and the complimentsthey had received fromother groups. The boardand administration com-mended the students whowere present.The board also recog-

nized four students fortheir spelling bee skills —elementary spelling beechampion Larkin Painter,fifth grader, and runner-up Karmen Knepp, also afifth grader: junior highspelling bee championMaia Stump, sixth grader,and junior high runner-up Mandi Bates, seventhgrader.They will all repre-sent Bradford during theDarke County SpellingBee on Jan. 19 at Ar-canum High School.A lengthy discussion

was had concerning thetwo proposed 2012-13school calendars whichwere presented by Patrickto the board and all pres-ent.Under Draft A, school

would start Aug. 27 andthe last day of schoolwould be May 31. UnderDraft B, classes wouldbegin on Aug. 13 and thelast day would be May 21.According to Patrick,

the main differences(other than the start andending dates) are thatDraft B gives teacherseight more instructionaldays before the state tests,allows for the first semes-ter to end before the win-ter break, and moves

graduation to MemorialDay Saturday — like itused to be.Another advantage to

Draft B is that the schoolis air conditioned so thiswill give some kids achance to get out of theheat. However, Draft Bwould shorten the sum-mer break this year.According to Athletic

Director Dusty Yingst,Draft B will also allow forthe more than 300 stu-dents who participate inspring/summer sports tobe out of school earlier,and will not interfere withthe fall sports schedule.Both Draft calendars

can be found on the Brad-ford School website.According to Patrick,

One-Call Now partici-pants will be surveyed fora preference after schoolresumes in Jan. Patrickwill also survey the Stu-dents concerning partici-pation in the fairs.Patrick will submit the

results to the board dur-ing its regular meeting onJan. 11.The board will ap-prove only one of thedrafts during that meet-ing.Other items:• Board approved

$1665 for elementary and$5145 for the high school

yearbooks- to be paid toWalsworth Yearbook.• Voted to oppose House

Bill 136 (school choice)which “seeks to transferpublic dollars to supportprivate education” accord-ing to the Board resolu-tion passed.• Appointed Maria

Brewer to the two yearterm, JVS Liaison Officer.• Agreed to continue

the board compensationas $1500 per year as re-quired by the Ohio Re-vised Code. No additionalmoney is available fortraining.•Rescheduled the board

work session (from De-cember) to 5:30 p.m. Jan.25. The board will beworking on the superin-tendent’s job descriptionand evaluation. The boardwill also hold an executivesession on Jan.25 to dis-cuss personnel.The Board’s organiza-

tional meeting will be at 6p.m. Jan. 11 Jan 11 withthe regular meeting to fol-low.Dr. Scott Swabb, board

president, remindedeveryone present that “allmeetings, except executivemeetings, are open to thepublic.” For any questions,please contact the board’semail on the school’s site.

BY SHANNON MCCAFFREY

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa (AP) When his top aideswalked out this spring and left his campaign in tatters,Newt Gingrich considered dropping out. But he says itwas his wife, Callista, who persuaded him to soldier on.“She told me to stay in the race,” Gingrich said re-

cently in eastern Iowa.He listened.Now as voting nears in the race to decide the Re-

publican presidential nominee, Callista Gingrich hasstepped up her presence on the campaign trail, espe-cially in Iowa where social conservatives hold powerfulsway. A visible reminder of her twice-divorced hus-band’s past infidelity, she simultaneously serves as asymbol of his devotion to family. She gives some con-servatives pause, and others assurance.The Gingrich camp is betting that anyone who

doubts whether the former House speaker truly hasmended his ways need only look to his wife, who standsat his side, ramrod straight and smiling. Prim and pe-tite with striking platinum-blonde hair, the campaign isdispatching her strategically: She appears with herhusband, more than 20 years her senior, in a cheeryChristmas campaign television ad, and the two fre-quently host his-and-her book signings after campaignevents.Her children’s book about Ellis, a patriotic elephant

that loves American history conveniently hit The NewYork Times best-seller list as her husband’s WhiteHouse bid was starting to take off. She is featuredprominently on his website.And it is rare for Newt Gin-grich to deliver remarks that aren’t sprinkled with ref-erences to “Callista and I.”His devotion to her is apparent, some say distracting

to his White House bid. As his poll numbers started towaver last weekend, he left the campaign trail in Iowato take a seat at a holiday concert in Virginia, whereshe played the French horn.Callista Gingrich was linked to upheaval early in the

campaign. It was jewelry Gingrich bought for her thatspurred days of bad press coverage focused on a no-in-terest line of credit at Tiffany’s worth up to $500,000,reinforcing the image that he’s out of touch with regu-lar people smarting from the economic downturn. Histrip with her to the Greek isles fueled the idea that hewasn’t taking the campaign seriously.Aides who fled the campaign earlier this year

pointed to Callista Gingrich as the source of the ten-sion between her husband and his staff.Still, his rebound would seem to give credence to her

value as a trusted adviser.Yet for all her time in the public eye, she is largely

unknown, having granted few interviews and rarelyspeaking from the podium at her husband’s events. Sheworks the crowd afterward, instead, posing for photosand shaking hands.“I think she’s just lovely,” said 62-year-old Janet Mc-

Donald, after shakingMrs. Gingrich’s hand at a Hy-VeeGrocery Store in Mount Pleasant during a recent Iowacampaign swing. “They may not have started out right.But if they have made their peace with God, than therereally is nothing else I need to know.”Gingrich, 68, has acknowledged having an extra-

marital affair with the woman who is now his thirdwife when he was speaker of the House and she workedfor the House Agriculture Committee.

Shannon McCaffrey covers politics for The AssociatedPress.

DES MOINES, Iowa —Despite having to preparefor a debate far across thestate on Dec. 15, four Re-publican presidential candi-dates — Newt Gingrich,Michele Bachmann, RickPerry and Rick Santorum— came here to Des Moinesthe night before for the pre-miere of a movie. Perrythought the event so impor-tant that, even though hewas campaigning in western Iowa, hehopped a plane at the last minute to flyto Des Moines for the event, and thenturned around and headed back for theFox News debate in Sioux City.So it wasn’t just any movie. The film

was “The Gift of Life,” a pro-life mani-festo produced by Citizens United andnarrated by former GOP presidentialcandidate — and 2008 Iowa caucus win-ner — Mike Huckabee. Iowa conserva-tives, 1,200 of them, packed HoytSherman hall for the event, with eachcandidate given a chance to speak beforethe film.Of course, the candidates — all

strongly pro-life — wanted to associatethemselves with social conservatives,and they all jumped at the chance tospeak to 1,200 of them at one time. Buteach also wanted to associate them-selves with the still-popular Huckabee.Nobody will win the Huckabee primarythis year — he has said he won’t endorsea candidate during the primary and cau-cus season — but all hoped a little ofHuckabee’s approval would rub off onthem.In an interview before the program,

Huckabee denied any regrets about notrunning himself. “A lot of people havesaid, ‘Gosh, you would have had a realopportunity here,’” Huckabee said.“Maybe. I don’t know. But the decision Imade was based on the fact that I saw adivided party. I did not see a lot of moneylining up behind me. I’ve been there,done that when you try to run for presi-dent, where somebody has $20 to your$1, and it’s a very, very uphill battle.We’ll have a good candidate, we’ll all getbehind him, but I determined that itprobably will not be me this time.”“Probably?”“Well, I mean, that’s what I decided

then.”“So you’re not open to a draft?”“No, I think all the doors are well

closed. I don’t think I feel a draft at all.”Huckabee, a favorite of social conser-

vatives in 2008, also re-flected on the troubles ofsome candidates vying forsocial conservative support.Asked why Bachmannfailed to capitalize on hervictory in the Aug. 13 Amesstraw poll, Huckabee said:

“The moment of thattook her to Florida and allover the country, and nothere. Once the baby is born,you better put a warm blan-

ket around it and feed it real good. Andif you don’t keep the baby warm and feedit, it may not make it.And that’s my per-ception, that she did not camp out inIowa for a month or six weeks and justnail this state down — and then keepcoming back.”As far as Perry’s problems are con-

cerned, Huckabee cited a “never-endingstring of things that caused people toask, is he ready, is he prepared.” AndHuckabee questioned whether it’s possi-ble to enter a campaign late and survive,as Perry tried to do.“When I ran four years ago, the first

several months of my campaign, I wasout there talking to six or seven peoplein New Hampshire, South Carolina,”Huckabee said. “There was no presscorps following me, there were no brightlights. So mistakes that I made, I wasable to correct long before I hit the bigshow. Rick had no minor league experi-ence. He went straight to the hottestspotlight in America, and I think he hadjust not prepared himself for what it isto be a candidate on the national stage.”Asked why Santorum has failed to

catch fire, Huckabee was out of theories.“I honestly don’t know,” he said, lookingperplexed. “He’s done everything that Ithink a person should do to win Iowa.”With so many ups and downs in the

race, Huckabee suggested that MittRomney might benefit from a splinter-ing on the conservative side of the party.But he still believes that, even with lessthan three weeks before the caucuses,another surprise or two might be instore.After all, even when Huckabee took

the lead in Iowa polls in late 2007, a lotof observers didn’t believe he could actu-ally win. “And no one predicted that Iwould win by almost 10 points,” Huck-abee said with a laugh. “Frankly, thatshocked me.”

almost furtively, his nar-row shoulders hunched ashe takes the stage. For 30minutes, he deliverssomething close to an aca-demic lecture on mone-tary policy, the dangers ofoverseas military entan-glements, the power of thefree market and, of course,the importance of free-dom.“You have a right to

your life, a right to yourliberty and the right tothe fruits of you labor soyou can keep what youearn,” he says to cheers.The crowd large by

Iowa standards in a Re-publican presidential racelistens, rapt. The Texascongressman takes ques-tions and poses for a fewphotos, then disappearsbehind a door.A Paul campaign rally

is a decidedly stripped-down affair, with fewsigns, no theme song anda candidate more comfort-able discussing a return tothe gold standard thanglad-handing. His liber-tarian message, given lit-tle attention nationally formost of his long politicalcareer, has struck a chordthis year with votersangry over bank bailouts,government dysfunctionand the burgeoning fed-eral debt.Voters seem to like

what they hear, and someare even flirting with thenotion that this unortho-dox congressman could bein the White House. Pollsfind Paul topping the GOPfield in Iowa less than twoweeks before the state’skickoff caucuses his un-conventional campaign at-tracting a coalition of teaparty supporters, studentsand political independ-ents looking for a candi-date who can beatPresident Barack Obama.“He’s the only consis-

tent conservative outthere,” said J.C.Weiand, alaw student who attendeda Paul rally in Fort Madi-son. “For 30 years, he’sbeen preaching the samemessage. Now his timehas finally come.”Voters largely tuned

Paul out in 2008, when heplaced a distant fifth inIowa despite robustfundraising and a smallbut fiercely loyal grass-roots base. Campaigningacross eastern Iowa thisweek, the 76-year old for-mer obstetrician says thepolitical environment haschanged over four years.

You might wonder howdeclarer made four spadesdoubled on this deal — ascan be seen, he seems cer-tain to lose three dia-monds and a trump trick.But South made the con-tract, and it all came aboutin a perfectly simple way.

The hand was played inthe 1978World Open PairChampionship in New Or-leans. Declarer wasBrazilian star Pedro-PaulAssumpcao, and he got tofour spades on the biddingshown.North’s opening di-amond bid was systemi-cally correct in themethods used by theBrazilian pair, but it nodoubt induced Assump-cao’s bold four-spade bidon the second round.It did not take long for

declarer to find the win-ning line of play. He wonthe heart lead with theace and led dummy’s jackof diamonds at trick two.It is hard to blame Eastfor covering the jack withthe queen; certainly mostplayers would have doneexactly as he did.

But the effect of cover-ing the jack was cata-strophic. West was forcedto win his partner’s queenwith the ace, and heshifted to a low club.Assumpcao won with

dummy’s ace and led thequeen of spades, losing toWest’s king. Back cameanother club, taken withthe queen. A low trumplead from dummy caughtEast’s jack, and when de-clarer returned to dummywith a trump and led theseven of diamondsthrough EastK-8-4, thebattle was over. Declarer’sonly losers were two dia-monds and a trump.Assumpcao’s jack-of-

diamonds play at tricktwo had everything togain and nothing to lose.He gave East an opportu-

nity to go wrong — and hedid. Plays like this —aimed at exploiting thedefenders’ inability to seeeach other’s cards —sometimes enable de-clarer to make a contractthat could not otherwisebe made.

DEAR ABBY: Mydaughter is getting a di-vorce from a wonderfulyoung man I’ve grownvery close to. He’s away inthe service, and he and mydaughter have grownapart. He is in Korea andnot able to deal with thesituation back at home.He emails me and talks

to me on Facebook quiteoften. When he asks meabout my daughter, I amvague. I love him as a son,and I have been cryingover this. I’m so upset thatI’m having migraines.How do I detach from myson-in-law while stillbeing there for my daugh-ter?

— SAD MOTHER-IN-LAW IN TEXAS

DEAR SAD M-I-L: Behonest with him. Tell himthat while you love himlike a son, the present sit-uation with your daughteris causing you so muchemotional conflict that it’smaking you physically ill.Explain that you will al-ways be his friend, butthat you must distanceyourself emotionallysomewhat until the di-vorce is final and he andyour daughter havemoved further on in theirlives. Yours is not a happysituation to be in and youhave my sympathy, butyour health must comefirst.

DEAR ABBY: I work inan educational settingwhere the emphasis is onaccountability, responsi-bility and being a goodrole model. I made a terri-ble decision two years agoand received a DUI whileout of town. I’m stillashamed of my choicesthat night.I accepted all responsi-

bility and completed thenecessary requirementsthrough the courts. How-ever, since then I havedreaded someone at workfinding out and losing thejob I love. Do I talk to myHR department or confessto my supervisor? Or do Ijust keep it to myself andhope no one finds out?

— STILL PAYINGTHE PRICE IN MICHI-

GAN

DEAR STILL PAY-ING: If you’re involved ineducation, then you maybe a member of a union.Instead of discussing thiswith HR, have a chatabout it with your unionrepresentative. Becauseyou have accepted respon-sibility for the incidentand have completed therequirements of the court,I doubt that your job is in

jeopardy, and your unionrep may be able to giveyou some peace of mind.If you have no union

representation, keep it toyourself. I see nothing tobe gained by blabbingabout this to your co-workers.

DEAR ABBY: Whiledriving the streets andhighways, we communi-cate in many ways withour fellow commuters. Wecan wave, give a “thumbsup,” lay on the horn or, inslow traffic, shout out thewindow with curses orblessings. More often thannot, a “single-fingersalute” is flashed in anger,and that sometimes turnsinto road rage.Instead, we should

drive the same way ourlives should be lived —with compassion, consid-eration, attention andawareness of our fellowtravelers. When we makemistakes, we should be re-pentant and signal an “I’msorry.”Abby, I’m at a loss for a

hand signal for “I’m sorry.”Any suggestions?

DEAR MILD-MAN-NERED: Living in a cityknown for its heavy traf-fic, I can relate from per-sonal observation thatmany drivers commitmoving violations, and anequal number simplymake mistakes while be-hind the wheel. Even I(the saintliest of advicecolumnists) have donethis. While I’m sure myhelpful readers will stepforward to volunteer sug-gestions for an “I’m sorry”signal, what I have donewhen the person pulls upnext to me and we’restopped, is raise bothhands (palms up) and say,“I’m sorry!” The shame onmy face conveys the mes-sage.

Siblings Gustavo, 13, behind left, Angie, 10, center, and Abelardo, 15, of the Vazquez Sounds band, performat their father's office in Mexicali, Mexico, Thursday Dec. 22, 2011. The trio posted a cover of Adele's "Rollingin the Deep" on Youtube on Nov. 11, drawing almost 18 million views, interviews on Mexico's major televi-sion networks and a mention on Good Morning America. Within weeks of its posting, the Vazquez Soundssigned a contract with Sony Music Mexico.

Associated Press

MEXICO CITY (AP) —Ten-year-old AngieVazquez has become anInternet phenom beltingout a soulful cover of Britpop star Adele’s “Rollingin the Deep.” In an onlinevideo seemingly shot athome, her teenage broth-ers Abelardo and Gustavoplay the keyboard, guitarand drums.The video drew almost

18 million views, inter-views on Mexico’s majortelevision networks and amention on Good MorningAmerica. Within weeks ofits Nov. 11 posting, the so-called Vazquez Soundssigned a contract withSony Music Mexico. Theyreleased their first albumthis week that includesanother Internet smashcover, of Mariah Carey’s“All I Want for Christmasis You.”Their nearly overnight

success online evokes thenow legendary saga ofCanadian ‘tween idolJustin Bieber, who wasdiscovered after hismother posted online am-ateur footage of himcrooning and strumming.

“We make a lot of videosof a lot of things, but myson Abelardo wanted torecord this song and shareit with friends and family,”said father AbelardoVazquez in a telephone in-terview from the family’shometown of Mexicali, onthe California border. “Wereally didn’t expect thecover to become such aphenomenon on the Web.”Before you call the

Vazquez clan Mexico’s ver-sion of Bieber-mania, con-sider this: The elderAbelardo Vazquez is a pro-fessional music producerinstrumental in creatingthe sound of well-knownMexican bands such asReik and Nikki Clan, alsofrom the border.The videos of Angie and

her brothers in their homestudio are also profession-ally produced, mixed andlighted, with slick camerawork.Abelardo Vazquez says

he’s not driving his kidsinto the music business,though he acknowledgesthey’ve had a leg up.“My kids have had a

musical education sincethey were very young, be-cause I have worked pro-ducing groups for many

years,” the father said.When the video sparked

interest in a few millionpeople beyond theVazquez’s immediate cir-cle, the decision to cut aCD was natural, Vazquezsaid.He added that he re-

tains total control over theproject, and Sony music isworking as a distributor.“The contract with Sony

isn’t the traditional type,”Vazquez said. “It isn’t thetypical contract withrecord companies, inwhich they used to controlthe artists’ career. This isa family project.”Although Vazquez has

had an eight-year rela-tionship with Sony,Roberto Lopez, presidentof the label, said he andhis team were unaware ofthe Vazquez Sounds andfirst heard the group likeeveryone else — on the In-ternet.Working with such a

young group poses specialchallenges and “verystrong personal care,”Lopez said.“It is something special

because they are children,and we want them to stayin school,” he said. “Theagreement was that their

involvement in music,which has been going onfor years now, would con-tinue without affectingtheir lifestyle.”Vazquez said other

record companies had ex-pressed interest, but Sonywas the only one that methis conditions for the kids.Cynics note that Sony isalso the label that signedsome of Vazquez’s otheracts.The CD includes the

original cover of “Rollingin the Deep,” a remix ofthat crowd pleaser and, atleast in its online version,a more wobbly cover of theMariah Carey song. Coin-cidentally, it’s the samesong Bieber included inhis holiday season “Underthe Mistletoe” disc.In the meantime, the

Vazquez Sounds havebeen invited to perform ontelevision programs in theUnited States, Italy andEngland.But they can pick and

choose.“The kids are not obli-

gated to do promotionalwork like other acts,” saidthe elder Vazquez. “Wewant them to live a lifelike any other child theirage.”

HOUSTON — A fund-raising effort on behalf ofthe future athletic com-plex at Hardin-HoustonSchool is serving morethan one purpose.Donors have purchased

hallway blocks engravedin various ways, and soonengraved paver blocks willadorn the approach to theschool building’s main en-trance.The revenue will assist

in bringing the projectcloser to a beginning. Therecognition of the district’sheritage and acknowl-edgement of many towhom the district was (oris) a part of their lives can-not be measured in dollarsand cents.The school does not

have a track and field fa-cility to hold a sanctionedmeet. In addition, theschool softball team hashad to play its games atthe Hardin site. Now thatall grades are at Houston,a fundraising effort isunder way to hold all ath-letic events on the schoolgrounds.Michelle Foster and An-

drew Kunert are headingup the effort. Foster is amember of the school fac-ulty.To save money, the dis-

trict decided to make useof the gymnasium thatwas already in place atthe Houston site. Thatstructure had to be joinedto the new school by ahallway. The result is aspace that mixes a recog-nition of the past with thefuture of the school.One wall contains the

embedded concrete mark-ers that greeted visitors tothe former Hardin andHouston school buildings.A few feet closer to the en-trance to the gymnasium,one comes to walls coveredwith the inscribed blocks.The sandblasted blocks

are inscribed in a numberof ways: There are memo-rials to those who havedied, while others simplyname those who havehelped to support thecause. There are tributesto classes from teachersand expressions of faith.Others name businessesthat have contributed andsome are adorned by theimage of a Wildcat or a fe-

line paw print. The in-scriptions must simply beof a word count thatcraftsman Roger Sidle canfit onto the block.Foster said of the

blocks, “I think it’s nice,because it’s going to besuch a lasting part of thecommunity.”Kunert is also enthusi-

astic about the project. Henoted that response fromthe public has been verypositive, enhancing pridein the community. Headded that since the wallblocks are in place, thepublic will appreciate thepaver project.The original deadline

for sponsoring blocks wasmoved back due to con-struction issues, and thecut-off was in October. Asthe public awarenessgrew, there were more in-quiries. There are nowmore than 86 inscribedblocks in place. If suffi-cient interest is shown,another section of wallcould be used for that pur-pose. It is also possiblethat a way to engraveblank blocks already inplace will be found.A new opportunity is

the chance to sponsor the4-by-8-inch paver blocksthat will be placed at theapproach to the building’smain entrance. Althoughsmaller, they will also beengraved, and Foster ex-

pects that as many as1,300 will be available.Kunert said 50 have al-ready been reserved. Asthey are obtained, currentpavers will be taken upand replaced by engravedones.Interested parties can

contact Michelle Foster at498-0332 or AndrewKunert at 295-9804 to in-quire about making a do-nation through sponsoringa wall block or paver. Fora wall block, the donationis $250, and for a paverblock, $50. If you are in-terested in a paver block,the school website has aform that can be down-loaded and filled out. Theform for the wall block willbe posted at a later date.The web address iswww.houston.k12oh.us/.There will also be a

“ball drop” on Feb. 4 on theevening of the Houston-Ansonia boys basketballgame. Proceeds from thatevent will also benefit theAthletic Complex fund.Check the school websitefor information on that aswell.There is also an ongoing

pledge drive for donationsto the general AthleticComplex project. Fostersaid that next to the cor-porate donation fromEmerson, the wall blockshave been their largestfundraiser.

RUSSIA — RyanNichols does not allowType 1 diabetes keep himfrom enjoying his pastimeof running. Outfitted withan insulin pump, the 36-year-old Russia man typi-cally racks up around 40to 60 miles in a week.Although he did run

during conditioning forbasketball and baseballwhile at Russia HighSchool, Nichols did nottake up long-distance run-ning until he was almost30. Now he competes inmarathons and half-marathons when notworking in sales at Supe-rior Aluminum in Russia.The presence of the in-

sulin pump does not hin-der his running in anyway. The device is notmuch more cumbersomethan what a runner wouldclip on to listen to music.The one Nichols uses isaround the size of a pager.Nichols must simply takethe same care and atten-tion to the pump as woulda nonrunner. For example,he must change the in-sulin supply in the pumpevery three days.There is some special

preparation for a runnerlike Nichols. For example,when starting a run hewill take a blood-sugarreading.A level that is toohigh or too low can resultin a lower energy level. Ifhis level is too low, he mayconsume some carbohy-drates. That must be donewith care, as to not raisethe level too high, result-ing in dehydration and alack of energy. He is aidedin that monitoring by asensor built into his in-sulin pump.Nichols has learned

that having a cold orbeing under stress can af-fect his sugar level. Hehas learned to make ad-justments as required,and go on with his activi-ties. He emphasized thatexercise is an importantpart of that blood-sugarcontrol.Nichols has been deal-

ing with the condition for

12 years. He decided thatan insulin pump would bethe most convenient man-ner of controlling his med-ication. He explained thathis variety of diabetes isoften referred to as “juve-nile diabetes,” althoughhis onset came about atage 24.Nichols hopes to help

others, especially youth,to understand that, evenwith Type 1 diabetes, youcan do anything. He em-phasized that you mustmonitor your levels andeat properly. In doing so,and following the instruc-tions of an endocrinolo-gist, a diabetic of thatlevel need not be limitedin activities.Not only does Nichols

take his diabetes in stride,he actually sees it as ablessing. He doubted thathe would be in the physi-cal condition he now en-joys without the incentiveto watch his health pro-vided by the condition.“It forced me to start

exercising,” he said.He felt that at 36, he is

in the best shape he hasever enjoyed.Nichols recently joined

an organization namedTeamType1.org. Thegroup promotes aware-ness of Type 1 diabetes,including taking part inrunning events and publicspeaking. That group re-cently sent Nichols and 10

others to Tucson, Ariz., totake part in the TucsonMarathon. The same or-ganization is beginning acycling team, and the goalis to one day enter ridersin the Tour de France.One member of the organ-ization climbed MountEverest. Taking part insuch group activities pro-vided Nichols with the ex-perience of being around agroup of athletes monitor-ing blood-sugar levels andchatting about their in-sulin pumps.Nichols stressed the im-

portance of young diabet-ics keeping a positiveattitude, and not allowingthemselves to become ac-customed to feeling differ-ent and unnecessarilyrestricted. Nicholspointed out that somepeople with diabetes willfeel defeated by the condi-tion when they could bepursuing their goals. Forhim, the daily adjust-ments are now routineand “not much differentthan brushing my teeth.”The ongoing testing andadministration of insulinare just part of his day.Nichols encouraged

people with questionsabout Type 1 diabetes tovisit teamtype1.org to getinformation.“If you use proper care

and control, you can reallydo anything with dia-betes,” he said.

Diabetes doesn’tstop Russia runner

Ryan Nichols heads out on a run. Despite havingType 1 diabetes, he puts in 40 to 60 miles a week.

If you’reexcessive, giver’s remorse will set in.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Pro-vided you have something worthwhileto contribute, it’s OK to take credit fora job well done. However, be honestabout others having a big part in thesuccess as well.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Pos-sessing a tendency to make changesfor the sake of change could be one ofyour weaknesses. Don’t disrupt situa-tions that are running smoothly, espe-cially where your work is concerned.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Condi-tions might be a tad more uncertainthan usual. Even if you’re a winner inone sense, you could be a loser in an-other. Once you’ve got your hands onsomething good, hang on tight.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Youshould take care to not be so con-cerned with your position that youhave little concern for anybody else’s.Your good luck could depend on the se-lection of the right partner.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Youmight not be able to help it, but theability to keep a secret isn’t likely tobe one of your stronger attributes.

Thoughtless behavior wouldcause others to think again.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —Howwellyou adjust to shifting conditions willdetermine your success in the longrun.

NEW YORK (AP) —Win and you are in as adivision champion.That's the easy sce-

nario for the Broncos andeither the Cowboys or Gi-ants next weekend. Andwhile Baltimore alreadyowns at least a wild-cardspot, a victory for theRavens earns them theAFC North and a first-round bye.Denver is tied atop the

AFC North with Oaklandat 8-7, with the Broncoshosting Kansas City andthe Raiders at home forSan Diego next Sunday.Denver has thetiebreaker, but if it losesand Oakland wins, theBroncos can't get a wildcard.The Raiders can if both

they and Denver win, aslong as Cincinnati andTennessee lose, or Cincin-nati loses and the NewYork Jets win.

In first place in theNFC East are Dallas andthe Giants, who meet atthe Meadowlands. A winor a tie gives New York(8-7) the title; neitherteam can be a wild card.The Ravens (11-4)

swept the Steelers thisyear, so by winning atCincinnati (9-6), they getthe AFC North crown.Should Baltimore falter,Pittsburgh (11-4) gets thedivision title and the bye.Both teams already ownat least a wild card.Cincinnati grabs the

other AFC wild card witha victory over Baltimore,and also can get it with aloss if either the Jets andRaiders both lose, or theJets and Denver bothlose.AFC East champion

New England (12-3) al-ready has a bye and witha win at home againstBuffalo will earn home-

field advantage in theconference playoffs. Thatadvantage also wouldcome to the Patriots ifboth Baltimore and Pitts-burgh lose even if theBills beat New England.However, the Ravens andSteelers both hold theedge over the Patriots forhome-field advantageshould they finish withthe same record.To get the wild card,

the Jets (8-7) need to winat Miami while the Ben-gals, Titans and Raidersall lose, or the Bengals,Titans and Broncos alllose.As for Tennessee (8-7),

it needs to win at AFCSouth winner Houstonand have one of the fol-lowing three occur:—losses by Cincinnati

and Oakland, and a winby the Jets;

CINCINNATI (AP) — Thestadium was only two-thirdsfull again. The Cardinals wereon another one of their incredi-ble comebacks, threatening toderail the Cincinnati Bengals'surprising playoff surge.A pair of tangled up feet

made the difference.The Bengals moved one win

away from the playoffs Satur-day, holding on for a 23-16 vic-tory over Arizona that securedonly their third winning recordin the past 21 years.Cincinnati (9-6) can clinch

the final AFC wild card berthby beating Baltimore at PaulBrown Stadium next Sunday.The Bengals moved a gameahead of the Jets, who fell to 8-7 with a 29-14 loss to the Gi-ants on Saturday."It's been a big year for me

and for this team," rookie quar-terback Andy Dalton said. "It's

something we believed we hada chance to do. We weren't get-ting much credit from outside.We'll find out next week."Dalton threw two more

touchdown passes, becomingonly the fourth rookie to have20 in a season, and Cincinnatigot a break when the NFL's topcomeback team tripped itselfup in the closing minutes.Wide-open receiver Early

Doucet tripped at the goal lineand went down, letting afourth-down pass fall incom-plete with 1:12 left. The Cardi-nals (7-8) got the ball one moretime, but the clock ran out aftera completion.A few minutes later, the Jets'

loss put the Bengals in positionto reach the playoffs. New Yorkwould have won the tiebreakerif both teams won out.

BALTIMORE (AP) — D'Qwell Jack-son must feel as though he's stuck in anever-ending film loop, one in whichthe Cleveland Browns make the samemistakes over and over until the finalwhistle signals the end of yet anotherdefeat.Such was the case Saturday, when

the Browns bungled their way to a 20-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens."We've been in some close ones, and

today told the story of the season,"Jackson said. "We fought for threequarters, the offense was able to movethe ball, we put the ball in the endzone, and we still had a chance at theend."That's when Cleveland (4-11) made

"We started this quite awhile ago — seems likejust yesterday," coachMarvin Lewis said. "Butnow we're right where wewant to be at the end."Their rookie quarter-

back put them in position.Dalton threw an 11-

yard touchdown pass toJermaine Gresham and a19-yarder to JeromeSimpson, who did a som-ersault over a defenderand landed on both feet inthe end zone.Dalton joined Peyton

Manning (26), CharlieConerly (22) and DanMarino (20) as the onlyNFL rookies to throw 20touchdown passes.Down 23-0 heading into

the fourth quarter, theNFL's best comebackteam nearly pulled off itsmost improbable one yet.Arizona took advantage ofCedric Benson's two fum-bles, getting a pair oftouchdown passes by JohnSkelton and Jay Feely'sfield goal with 3:16 left.The Cardinals then had

their chance to pull even.The Bengals ran an all-out blitz on fourth downfrom the Cincinnati 17-yard line, and Doucetwound up uncovered atthe goal line. Skeltonlofted the ball into the endzone, but Doucet trippedand fell."It was a blitz and no-

body was there," Doucetsaid. "It was one of thosedeals where I hadn'thooked it up and my feetgot tangled. It's a play Ishould've made. It was myfault. That's a play I nor-mally make."The Cardinals had their

four-game winning streaksnapped and were elimi-nated from playoff con-tention.Cincinnati's defense

dominated the first threequarters. Arizona didn'tcross midfield until Skel-ton completed a pass with13:25 to go, but piled up208 yards in the finalquarter.Skelton started for the

second consecutive weekin place of Kevin Kolb,who hasn't fully recoveredfrom a concussion. Skeltonwas 23 of 44 for 297 yardswith three interceptionsand five sacks that helpedthe Bengals get the 23-0lead.It could have been

worse. Mike Nugent, theNFL's most accuratekicker, missed field goalsof 35 and 48 yards in thefirst half.Arizona has rallied

from fourth-quarter

deficits six times this sea-son, one shy of the NFLrecord. The Cardinalshave won three games inovertime, tying the leaguerecord.They couldn't do it one

more time."Yeah, we're a second-

half team," Skelton said."That's how it has been allyear. But in the end, it wastoo little, too late."Dalton was 18 of 31 for

154 yards and two touch-downs on a sunny, 39-de-gree afternoon in front ofonly 41,273 fans.The Ben-gals have sold out only oneof their seven homegames, when the Steelersbrought thousands of fans.Dalton's second touch-

down pass had a highlightfinish.Simpson got open for a

catch-and-run to the goalline.With Daryl Washing-ton between him and theend zone, Simpson jumpedand twirled past the line-backer, landing on bothfeet in the end zone andraising both arms like atriumphant gymnast."One of the key parts

for me was I stuck thelanding," Simpson said. "Istuck the landing like agymnast. That was proba-bly one of the most sur-prising of all the plays inmy career. It was prettyawesome, I thought."For most of the game,

the Cardinals couldn't doanything right. Rookiecornerback Patrick Peter-son picked off a Daltonpass in the third quarter,but the interception wasnullified by Arizona's sec-ond roughing-the-passerpenalty of the game.Worse, Peterson hurt

his left hamstring on theplay, pulling up on the re-turn. The first-round pickleft the game and didn'treturn. He wore a protec-tive boot after the game."He's got a strain, it's

not a tear," coach KenWhisenhunt said. "We'refortunate that it doesn'tappear to anything longterm."

Notes: BeanieWells be-came the first Cardinal torun for 1,000 yards and 10touchdowns in a season. ...After the game, the Ben-gals made a buy-one, get-one-free offer to seasonticket holders, trying to fillthe stadium for the finalgame. ... A.J. Green, play-ing with a strained rightshoulder, had two catchesfor 25 yards. He passedCris Collinsworth's clubrecord for a rookie with1,013 yards on the season.

its most glaring error.Down 20-14 with no

timeouts left, the Brownslined up on defense afterthe two-minute warningwith the Ravens facing afourth-and-2 at the Cleve-land 37.It appeared obvious

that Baltimore quarter-back Joe Flacco wasmerely hoping to draw theBrowns offside. And righton cue, Cleveland rookietackle Phil Taylor jumpedacross the line of scrim-mage to give Baltimore afirst down.The Ravens (11-4) then

ran out the clock on theireighth straight win overthe Browns, including twothis month."We jumped offside and

we didn't give ourselves achance," Jackson said. "It'shard to do."As soon as the flag

dropped to the ground,Jackson grabbed therookie to offer him someadvice."He said, 'Hold your

head up.' It's tough," Tay-lor said softly in a sullenlocker room. "It was thefirst hard count and westayed onside. The secondtime, I just jumped. Ofcourse you feel bad, butyou just got to move on."Taylor wasn't the only

one with a mistake tolament. Jackson gottorched on a touchdownpass from Flacco to RayRice. The Browns had touse their first-half time-outs early because of per-sonnel issues. Andquarterback Seneca Wal-lace, after driving Cleve-land to the Baltimore3-yard line, curiouslycalled a running play in-stead of spiking the ball astime expired in the secondquarter."It seems that it's the

15th time I've said this,(but) the guys played ex-tremely hard," Clevelandcoach Pat Shurmur said."I told the guys for us towin these close gameshere in the AFC North,we've got to play a littlesmarter in some of thecritical situations andthat will help make thedifference. That's wherewe're at."Flacco threw two touch-

down passes and Rice ranfor 87 yards to help theRavens finish 8-0 at home.Josh Cribbs had a ca-

reer-high 84-yard punt re-turn for a TD forCleveland. Wallace went19 for 33 for 147 yards inplace of Colt McCoy, whowas out with a concussion.Peyton Hillis ran for 112yards, but Cleveland's of-fense mounted only onedecent drive.The Browns took the

opening kickoff andmoved from their own 26to the Baltimore 30 be-hind the power of Hillis,who gained 30 yards onsix carries. But on a third-and-1, Cleveland inexpli-cably went to the air, andLardarius Webb inter-cepted Wallace's pass forMohamed Massaquoi.Flacco immediately

threw deep for TorreySmith, who drew a 60-yard penalty for pass in-terference on Mike Adamsto set up a 5-yard touch-down pass to Ed Dickson.Later, a 29-yard throw

from Flacco to Smith ledto a 48-yard field goal byShayne Graham.After another Cleveland

punt, Flacco directed an82-yard drive that gaveBaltimore a 17-0 lead.Rice slipped behind Jack-son on the right sideline,caught a soft pass instride and sprinted into

the end zone to complete a42-yard scoring play.That made Flacco 5 for

5 for 94 yards and twotouchdowns on thirddown.Cleveland moved deep

into Baltimore territorylate in the first half,thanks in part to a 30-yard pass interference callagainst Chris Carr. Butwith the clock inside 10seconds and the Brownswithout a timeout, Wal-lace handed off to Hillisinstead of spiking the ball,and Hillis went nowhere.Wallace took the blame,

and so did Shurmur."I need to communicate

it better, OK?" Shurmursaid.Time expired before

Cleveland could get off an-other play, and theBrowns headed to thelocker room after beingheld scoreless in the firsthalf for the second timethis season. The othertime it happened was alsoagainst Baltimore.Graham kicked a 43-

yard field goal in the thirdquarter to make it 20-0.The Browns finally

scored when Cribbs took apunt on the right sideline,escaped an arm tackle andbroke toward the center ofthe field before outrun-ning three defenders intothe left corner of the endzone late in the thirdquarter."I was wondering where

all the defenders were,"Cribbs said. "I saw all thegreat blocking around me.From there, it was easy. Itwas just a walk in."Cribbs also contributed

to Cleveland's next touch-down, catching a 23-yardpass from Wallace as partof an 80-yard drive thatended with a 9-yard TDthrow to Evan Moore.

—losses by Cincin-nati and Denver, and awin by the Jets;—losses by Cincin-

nati and the Jets, andwins by Denver andOakland.In the NFC, New Or-

leans can clinch theSouth by beating At-lanta on Monday night,or with a victory on thefinal weekend over Car-olina.The Falcons (9-5)

also are in excellentshape for a wild card,needing one win in thefinal two weeks. At-

lanta hosts Tampa Bayin its finale.Should the Falcons

win out and the Saintslose out, Atlanta winsthe division and NewOrleans becomes a wildcard.New Orleans still

has hopes for a first-round bye, but mustwin out for a shot.Detroit is one NFC

wild card, and Chicago(7-7) remains alive forthe other. But theBears must win outand have the Falconslose twice.
