See BOARD | 5A Ohio Cemetery Commission is discussed Staff report POMEROY — At the recent meeting of the Meigs County Genealogical Society, the president explained the procedure of filing a complaint with the Ohio Cemetery Commission on unresolved problems with cemeteries. Private cemeteries are not considered by the commission, according to a press release by the society, which states that only city, village and township cemeteries are handled by this commission. Recently, an active major cemetery of Meigs County was having problems with stones being moved by mowers and being knocked off their foundations. An attempt was made several times to get legal counsel to intercede in the problem, and according to the release, it was declined. After then trying to work with the cemetery without success, a complaint was filed with the commission. This required both sides to attend a hearing in Columbus. In this case, the commission found in favor of the complainant. Another cemetery is now being considered for referral to the commission. The Harpold Cemetery on Tornado Road near Racine is allegedly being enroached upon by a landowner who has planted trees in the cemetery and used the trees to border an enlarged yard. This has put graves in the neighbor’s yard, according to the release. Officers for the 2014-15 year were elected. They were Keith Ashley, president; Karen Werry, secretary; Margaret Parker, treasurer; and Joyce Davis, newsletter chair.

The reason they’re using those is because they’re exceeding the speed limit, and so they have to try and slow their speed down.” The commissioners accepted a copy of the petition, and also advised Griffin and Dietrich that their best course of action would be to ask for increased police presence, as this has been used around the county before, including the intersection of Ohio 7 and Ohio 124. Griffin said his next stop would be the Sheriff’s Department.

Sentencing delayed in treasurer’s office scheme COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A judge on Thursday delayed sentencing for three men who previously pleaded guilty for their roles in a bribery scheme involving a former Ohio deputy treasurer. The government says the men used the position of former deputy treasurer Amer Ahmad to enrich themselves and their businesses by securing lucrative state business. At issue is how much scheme-related money defendant Mohammed Noure Alo should be liable for when Judge Michael Watson calculates time behind bars. Watson said he needed more time to review several documents prosecutors submitted Thursday. Doug Squires, an assistant U.S. attorney, says the amount should be $3.2 million, or the amount earned by Douglas Hampton, another conspirator in the case. Alo should be responsible for that amount “because that is what the scheme generated while Alo was an essential conspirator,” Squires said in a court filing earlier this year. Alo’s lawyer, David Winters, says the amount should be $123,623, the figure deposited into Alo’s bank account to be given to Ahmad, which Alo considered “a one time shot.” “Nothing more was foreseen, reasonably foreseen, or even imaginable to Noure Alo,” Win- ters said in a filing last month. The prosecution and defense also are arguing over whether Alo should be considered a minor player or a conspiracy middleman. Alo, 35, of Columbus, pleaded guilty last year to aiding and abetting honest services wire fraud. Prosecutors acknowledge Alo’s cooperation but say a sentence of four to five years is necessary for punishment and to deter others. Alo’s attorney is asking for no more than two years. Ahmad, 39, pleaded guilty last year to federal bribery and money laundering charges in an alleged kickback scheme at the Ohio state treasurer’s office. A judge rejected prosecutors’ request that Ahmad be sentenced Thursday while absent from the proceedings. Ahmad worked for two Ohio treasurers and later as comptroller under Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Court records allege a $500,000 bribery scheme took place between 2009 and January 2011 involving Ahmad, Alo, Hampton (a Canton-based financial adviser) and mortgage broker Joseph Chiavaroli. Prosecutors say Ahmad and friends and associates, including Alo, accepted payments from Hampton in exchange for Hampton receiving government brokerage services business. Prosecutors allege Ahmad and his associates hid Hampton’s payments using the accounts of a landscaping business in which Ahmad and Chiavaroli had ownership interests. Hampton, 40, of Uniontown, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit federal program bribery, honest fraud wire services, and money laundering. Prosecutors are asking for a four-year prison term, while Hampton’s attorneys are asking for three years. Chiavaroli, 34, of Chicago, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit money laundering. Prosecutors are asking for just over two years in prison. Chiavaroli’s attorneys are asking for probation and home confinement.

If that is true about you, it is very well because you have never been very thankful for the ways in which He has most certainly blessed you. In some way, God has blessed you. It has been my observation and experience with God that He blesses best those who are most thankful. Being motivated to offer thanksgiving to God cannot be merely based on quantity, but rather quality, for, when God blesses, it is a good blessing. not have a good time in If you are looking solelife unless we are drinkly for quantity of blessing and getting drunk, ing before you become or doing drugs, or parthankful, you will never ticipating in the myriad fully realize the quality of immoralities at hand of blessing God bestows. in life.

I naturally considered the extent of my own love for Him and wondered how profoundly am I convinced that God is not only the “Supreme Blesser” but is Himself the “Supreme Blessing.” I wondered if I could truly echo Psalm 73:25-26, “Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” I appreciated the power in this woman’s genuine devotion to God and sensed that she indeed grasped, at least in part, the treasure that relationship with God through Jesus truly is. Now I wonder if we as Christians in more privileged places in the world are truly grasping it. If so, what joy and peace must be filling our experience! If we are not grasping it, then let us consider how truly wonderful is God’s love for us. Let us allow Him to wash us in that love, prying from our fingers if necessary those cheap counterfeits and imposters that have promised to bring us joy and peace but have utterly failed. Let us realize only He can grant us true joy and peace. “The works of His hands are faithful and just; all His precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. He sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!” (Psalm 111:7-9 ESV).

There are 54 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 7, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented fourth term in office, defeating Republican Thomas E. Dewey. On this date: In 1861, former U.S. President John Tyler was elected to the Confederate House of Representatives (however, Tyler died before he could take his seat). In 1914, the first issue of The New Republic magazine was published, presenting itself as “A Journal of Opinion which Seeks to Meet the Challenge of a New Time.” In 1916, Republican Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to Congress. In 1917, Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution took place as forces led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin overthrew the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky. In 1940, Washington state’s original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, nicknamed “Galloping Gertie,” collapsed into Puget Sound during a windstorm. In 1954, the CBS News program “Face the Nation” premiered with Ted Koop as host; the guest was Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis. In 1962, Republican Richard Nixon, having lost California’s gubernatorial race, held what he called his “last press conference,” telling reporters, “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.” Former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, 78, died in New York City. In 1972, President Richard Nixon was re-elected in a landslide over Democrat George McGovern. In 1973, Congress overrode President Richard Nixon’s veto of the War Powers Act, which limits a chief executive’s power to wage war without congressional approval. In 1974, British peer Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan, disappeared after his children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, was bludgeoned to death at his family’s London home; he has not been seen since. In 1980, actor Steve McQueen died in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, at age 50. In 1989, L. Douglas Wilder won the governor’s race in Virginia, becoming the first elected black governor in U.S. history; David N. Dinkins was elected New York City’s first black mayor.

A few philosophical individuals might deny they believe in such a thing as an absolute morality, but they themselves would likely feel hard done by when someone lies to them, steals from them, or in some way does harm to them. Humanity has an innate sense that there is a way things ought to be, and we feel disturbed when behavior goes against our moral grain. We, as a whole, think it appropriate for good to triumph over evil, and we accept that there is a proper way to treat other people. Accepting then that morality is a very real thing, the question arises as to where morality comes from. While many philosophical treatises have been written on the question over the years, there are really only three basic ways in which the question can be answered. It must either have its source in nature, it must have its source in mankind itself, or it must come from that which is outside both nature and man, that is the divine, or God. Naturally, those who don’t believe in God must believe that, if morality exists, it comes from either man or nature, but neither of these solutions is reasonable. Of these three potential sources, the latter is the only logical and acceptable answer. To argue that morality comes from nature itself is to argue against all the evidence. There is nothing in nature that would seem to encompass or teach the morality that we accept as being noble and true. There is no compassion in the storm, or in the claws of the beast. There is no honesty expressed in the manner in which animals routinely interact with other animals. The weather has nothing to teach us about faithfulness, and the entire concept of private property (the antithesis of theft and source of the prohibition thereof) is foreign to any creature excepting man. We cannot look to nature and find morality. To the contrary, the natural world is violent, unpredictable and a realm in which the strong routinely prey upon the weak. So what about the idea that morality has originated with men? There are those who believe that morality is a manmade idea. Some think that it is instinctual while others think morality nothing more than a social construct. The first of these, that morality is merely some “instinct” we have evolved is to raise far more questions than it solves. There seems little good way in which to understand a naturalistic system by which a desire for honesty enters a genepool. Indeed, the idea returns us to the first proposed source for morality, nature itself. But the natural world is scarcely moral and how can nature create that which does not exist within itself? The second idea, that man as an intelligent being has created an artificial social construct and labeled it morality, is to argue that morality itself does not truly exist, a thing which, as we noted at the beginning, mankind as a whole knows is not true. Morality is too universal a concept among men to be artificial. We recognize it when we see it and instinctually deplore its absence. Which brings us to the most obvious of truths: morality is of divine or supernatural origins. It comes from outside of nature and is not the creation of men. God has placed the idea of morality within ourselves and has given us a conscience by which we can recognize morality in ourselves and in others. We should say with the prophet of old, “he has shown you man what is good.” (Micah 6:8) This is not to say that our consciences are infallible. It is observably true that what one man might consider immoral, another will accept. Letting our conscience alone be our guide will oft lead us astray. As one man has noted, a conscience is like a clock, for it to work properly, it must be properly set and properly maintained. And this is one of the reasons God has given us the scriptures, so that we have a guide as to what is right and what is wrong. Thus, as Paul wrote to the young preacher Timothy, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Morality comes from God and it is God who can best teach us how to be morale people. Let us endeavor to listen to His word and what it can teach us about how to be truly good people.

Gone are the days when IS was able to seize territory in both countries with relative ease. Its newfound problems, including a loss of oil revenue, raise questions about the extent to which it will be able to continue recruiting fighters who want to be with a winner. “ISIS has run a very effective psychological campaign to intimidate its rivals and attract support and recruits,” said Faysal Itani, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, using an acronym for the extremists. But now, he said, the need to maintain its reputation is limiting the group’s options. This is particularly true in Kobani, where a pre-emptive IS withdrawal in the face of U.S.led bombings from the sky and ethnic Kurdish fighters on the ground could prove too costly.

The strikes risk fur- A senior U.S. official said one of the targets was a French militant and bomb-maker, David Drugeon. The official said the U.S. is still assessing the results of the strikes, but believes they were successful and that it appears Drugeon was hit. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Gen. Lloyd Austin, the Central Command official in charge of U.S. military operations throughout the Middle East, said at a Washington forum that he would not discuss results of the strikes until they had been more fully studied. He suggested, however, that Drugeon was targeted and may have been hit. “He is clearly one of the leadership elements and one of the most dangerous elements in that organization,” Austin said. “And so any time we can take their leadership out, it’s a good thing.” While the Nusra Front is considered a terrorist group by the United States, among the Syrian opposition it has a degree of support and respect because its fighters are on the front lines alongside other rebels battling Assad’s forces. But in the chaos and shifting allegiances of Syria’s conflict, it has also fought rival rebel factions, most recently overrunning the strongholds of Western-backed groups in Idlib province — the same area as the latest strikes. The U.S. military denied any link between that Nusra Front offensive and Thursday’s strikes, stressing that the aerial attack was only directed at the Khorasan group “whose focus is not on overthrowing the Assad regime or helping the Syrian people.” But such statements rang hollow with many in the Syrian opposition. When the U.S. first targeted the Nusra Front on the opening night of its airstrikes against the Islamic State group, the move touched off a wave of criticism from many in the opposition, including Western-backed rebel groups, who said Washington was helping Assad by weakening some of his strongest opponents. “We are tired of people saying they are coming to help us, and then they kill us,” said Idlib-based activist Asaad Kanjo. “They have invested a lot in this battle, and people are noticing. They will soon start asking what’s going on?” said Ayed, a Turkey-based Syrian activist who travels back and forth to the group’s stronghold in the Syrian city of Raqqa. He declined to give his full name. Board From Page 1A The board hired Stacy Scarberry as a tutor for a homebound student and Robert Vance as a bus driver.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that heard arguments on gay marriage bans or restrictions in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee on Aug. 6 split 2-1, with Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton writing the majority opinion. The ruling creates a divide among federal appeals courts, increasing the likelihood the Supreme Court will now take up the issue. The ruling concluded that states have the right to set rules for marriage. It followed more than 20 court victories for supporters of same-sex marriage since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act last year. A federal judge in Louisiana recently upheld that state’s ban, but four U.S. appeals courts ruled against state bans. The issue appears likely to return to the Supreme Court so the nation’s highest court can settle whether states can ban gay marriage or that gay and lesbian couples have a fundamental right to marry under the U.S. Constitution. Thirtytwo states recently asked the Supreme Court to settle the issue once and for all. The high court on Oct. 6 unexpectedly turned away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit gay and lesbian unions. The court’s order effectively made gay marriage legal in 30 states. The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals the next day overturned same-sex marriage bans in Idaho and Nevada, the fourth federal appeals court to rule against state bans. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently told a Minnesota audience that the 6th Circuit’s then-pending ruling would likely influence the high court’s timing, adding “some urgency” if it allowed same-sex marriage bans to stand. Before the 9th’s Oct. 7 ruling, three other appellate courts, the 10th Circuit in Denver, the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Virginia, and the 7th Circuit in Chicago, overturned statewide gay marriage bans in Wisconsin, Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia over the summer, ruling that they were unconstitutional. During the Aug. 6 arguments, it was apparent that Sutton would be the deciding vote, with the two other judges clearly on opposite sides of the debate. Sutton vigorously questioned each side’s attorneys, though he repeatedly expressed deep skepticism that the courts were the best place to legalize gay marriage, saying that the way to win Americans’ hearts and minds is to wait until they’re ready to vote for it. “I would have thought the best way to get respect and dignity is through the democratic process,” Sutton, a George W. Bush nominee, said at the time. “Nothing happens as quickly as we’d like it.” Michigan’s and Kentucky’s cases stem from rulings striking down each state’s gay marriage bans. Ohio’s two cases deal only with the state’s recognition of out-of-state gay marriages, while Tennessee’s is narrowly focused on the rights of three same-sex couples. Plaintiffs include a Cincinnati man who wants his late husband listed as married on his death certificate so they can be buried next to each other in a family-only plot and a Tennessee couple who both want to be listed on their newborn daughter’s birth certificate.

Police tour next year. raided Rudd’s home Thursday morning, Rudd, 60, appeared briefly at the Associated Press according to the paper, and held him in custody until his court appearance. Court staff said Rudd was due to make a second appearance Nov. 27, although that date could change. He has yet to enter a plea. Rudd and the other members of AC/ DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. “Featuring guitarist Angus Young as their visual symbol and musical firebrand, they grew from humble origins in Australia to become an arena-filling phenomenon with worldwide popularity. They did so without gimmickry, except for Angus’s schoolboy uniform, which became mandatory stage attire,” said the Hall of Fame’s biography. According to the biography, Rudd first joined AC/DC in 1974, the year after it was started. Other reports indicate he left the band in 1983 but rejoined again in 1994. The Bay of Plenty Times reported that Rudd first moved to New Zealand in 1983, during the period when he had left the band, and in 2011 bought a Tauranga restaurant he named Phil’s Place. Tauranga is a tranquil coastal city of 110,000. Its warm climate has made it popular with retirees, although it now has a fast-growing younger population too; The restaurant’s website says it represents Rudd’s long-held vision to “offer you fresh local food at affordable prices delivered by warm and friendly staff.” AC/DC’s albums include “Highway to Hell,” ‘’Back in Black,” and “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” The U.S. military has used the band’s music for martial purposes. In 2004, U.S. troops blasted AC/DC’s “Hell’s Bells” and other rock music full volume in Fallujah, Iraq, hoping to grate on the nerves of insurgents. AC/DC had been one of the few acts that refused to allow its music to be released digitally on iTunes. It relented in late 2012. This year, the band announced that founding member Malcolm Young, brother of Angus, was leaving due to unspecified health reasons.

Since Israel captured es between stone-throwing east Jerusalem from Palestinians and Israeli Associated Press Jordan in 1967, Jewish worshippers have been allowed to visit — but not pray — at the site. The area is run by Muslim authorities under Jordanian custody. In recent months, however, several senior members of Netanyahu’s coalition, including Housing Minister Uri Ariel and Deputy Parliament Speaker Moshe Feiglin, have called for a greater Jewish presence and the right to prayer on the mount. At the same time, the number of Jewish visitors to the site has increased over the years, raising fears among Muslims that this is part of a gradual takeover. Such visits have heightened tensions at the site, including stone-throwing clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police who have fired tear gas and stun grenades in the plaza around the mosques.

Athens, OH 45701 Confrontations, in turn, often lead to access restrictions for Muslims. Police routinely prevent younger Muslim men from praying at Al-Aqsa during such periods, especially on Fridays, the Muslim Sabbath, further heightening resentment. On Friday, men under the age of 35 are to be barred, and police expect to deploy large numbers of additional forces around the shrine, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. In the past, age restrictions were more severe, barring those younger than 50. Jordan has expressed alarm over the developments at the mosque compound and suggested the tensions could hurt ties with Israel. The two countries have had a peace agreement for 20 years. In the phone conversation with Jordan’s king, Netanyahu “reiterated Israel’s commitment to preserve the status quo,” his office said. “Both leaders called for an immediate end to all acts of violence and incitement.” Earlier, his office said anyone calling for changes in the longstanding arrangement at the holy site “is expressing a personal opinion and not the views of the government.” In Amman, the palace confirmed that Netanyahu had called. “King Abdullah stressed during the phone call Jordan’s rejection for any measures harming the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its sanctity,” a statement said. Netanyahu’s outreach reflected the value Israel places on its relations with Jordan — one of two Arab countries at peace with Israel. It also reflected concerns that unrest in east Jerusalem could explode into wider violence. officer receives Medal of Honor By Darlene Superville Associated Press WASHINGTON — Weak and bleeding, a Union Army officer who stood fast commanding his artillery battery and was killed as thousands of Confederate forces advanced on his troops received an honor Thursday from President Barack Obama that was more than 150 years in the making: the Medal of Honor. It is the nation’s highest military honor for battlefield valor. Obama awarded the medal to First Lt. Alonzo H. Cushing, who was killed on July 3, 1863, during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. The fight often is described as a turning point of the Civil War. A distant cousin, Helen Loring Ensign, of Palm Desert, California, accepted the framed medal. “This medal is a reminder that, no matter how long it takes, it’s never too late to do the right thing,” Obama told about 60 descendants and supporters of the 22-year-old Wisconsin native during a brief ceremony in a windowless White House meeting room. Cushing commanded about 110 men and six cannons, defending the Union position on Cemetery Ridge against Pickett’s Charge, a major Confederate thrust that was repelled by Union forces. On the final day of battle, Cushing’s small force stood its ground under severe artillery bombardment and an assault by nearly 13,000 advancing Confederate infantrymen. Wounded in the stomach and right shoulder, Cushing refused to move to the rear and insisted on ordering his guns to the front lines. Obama quoted Cushing as telling a fellow soldier who had urged him to go to the rear that he would “fight it out, or die in the attempt.” Obama also paid tribute to the thousands of unknown young soldiers “who saved our union” and observed “that I might not be standing here today, as president, had it not been for the ultimate sacrifices of those courageous Americans.” The presentation to Cushing was all the more extraordinary because recommendations for a Medal of Honor normally must be made within two years of an act of heroism, and the medal presented within three. Congress had to grant an exemption for Cushing’s honor. “Sometimes even the most extraordinary stories can get lost in the passage of time,” Obama said. He acknowledged efforts by Cushing’s supporters, including members of Congress, who pushed for the posthumous honor. Included in that group is Margaret Zerwekh, a historian from Cushing’s birthplace of Delafield. Obama said she spent more than 25 years researching and writing letters on Cushing’s behalf. �CHURCH DIRECTORY Daily Sentinel Friday, November 7, 2014 7A MEIGS COUNTY CHURCH DIRECTORY Liberty Assembly of God Dudding Lane, Mason, W.Va.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande open the home portion of it 20142015 men’s basketball season this weekend as the RedStorm plays host to the Saunders Insurance Tipoff Classic at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm will entertain Ohio University-Chillicothe in the back end of Friday’s doubleheader, with tipoff set for 8 p.m. Head coach Ken French club began the new season on Monday night with a 101-73 win at Wilberforce. Rio led most of the contest, but used an 18-2 run over the final 6-1/2 minutes to pull away for the lopsided victory. Senior forward Josh Reagan (Cleveland, OH) scored 28 points and added nine rebounds to pace fie doubledigit scorers for Rio, while junior center Dwayne Bazemore (Columbus, OH) added 23 points and 10 rebounds in his debut. Junior guard D.D. Joiner (Columbus, OH) and senior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) added 16 and 12 points, respectively, while sophomore forward Corey Cruse (Fort Mitchell, KY) finished with 10 points and freshman guard Will Hill (Worthington, OH) had 11 assists.

Marcus Mariota and the Ducks, coming off a 45-16 win over Stanford, moved up one spot from fifth in the initial poll by the 12-member selection committee. They moved in ahead of Alabama, a third team from the West Division of the Southeastern Conference that was also up one place to fifth. “It was very close, and I think it’s the product of Oregon’s other wins they have,” Arkansas athletic director and selection committee chairman Jeff Long said. “They have the Michigan State win, but they also, again, went on the road against UCLA and won, and a couple of wins that made their body of work, put them a step ahead of (Alabama) at this point.” Mississippi dropped seven spots to 11th after its second consecutive loss, 35-31 to Auburn. The Rebels remained ahead of four one-loss teams from power-five conferences, directly ahead of Baylor, Nebraska and Ohio State — Nos. 12-14, and all higher than a week ago. Auburn is the highest ranked of the 12 one-loss teams in the rankings that will ultimately determine the national semifinals, and set matchups for the other four marquee New Year’s Day bowls that are part of the playoff rotation. Mississippi State held on to No. 1 after a 17-10 victory over Arkansas, when the Bulldogs trailed after halftime for the first time this season. Florida State overcame a 21-0 deficit at Louisville and won 42-31. The Bulldogs and Seminoles are the only remaining undefeated teams from power-five conferences, and Long said “it really wasn’t close” to any chance of them flip-flopping in the top two spots. “We stayed pretty consistent with the way we looked at 1 and 2 with Mississippi State and Florida State,” Long said. “Auburn was a little bit behind in No. 3, but they were a solid No. 3.” Marshall, which is 8-0 in Conference USA, again didn’t make the Top 25 playoff rankings. Big 12 leader Kansas State moved up two spots to seventh, hopping over Michigan State, which remained eighth. “Less about Michigan State, but more about Kansas State adding to their body of work,” Long said, referring to the Wildcats, who are coming off a 48-14 win over Oklahoma State. Kansas State plays at TCU on Saturday night, and Oregon is at Utah, which stayed 17th in the playoff rankings after a 19-16 loss at Arizona State. The Sun Devils made the biggest upward move, five spots to ninth. That is one spot ahead of Notre Dame, which rounded out the top 10 for the second week in a row, and plays at Arizona State on Saturday. The final playoff rankings will be released Dec. 7, the day after most of the conference championships are decided.

Knights take first tourney win By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com SAINT ALBANS, W.Va. — You have to start somewhere. The Point Pleasant volleyball team earned the program’s first-ever tournament win before eventually falling out of the postseason Wednesday night during a trio of Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 matches held at Saint Albans High School in Kanawha County. The Lady Knights (1720) eventually had their historic sixth campaign come to an end after a pair of straight-game losses to Winfield and St. Albans, but it was the opening match with Nitro that proved to be the ultimate reward for a squad that had already set the school mark for wins in a season. Tied at a game apiece, Point Pleasant fell behind 19-16 but then rallied with five consecutive points to secure a 21-19 edge in Game 3. The Lady Knights never trailed again and rolled on to a 25-17, 21-25, 25-21, 25-11 triumph, the first for the varsity program at PPHS. Point Pleasant suffered a 25-12, 25-6, 25-13 setback to top-seeded Winfield in the second match, then the host Lady Dragons eliminated Point from the postsea- son following a 25-22, 25-15, 25-16 decision in the finale. The Lady Knights battled through three ties and four lead changes in the opener against NHS, but Point took a permanent lead at 4-3 and eventually won by eight for a 1-0 match lead. The Lady Wildcats never trailed in Game 2 and broke away from an 18-all tie by winning seven of the final 10 points to knot the match at one game apiece. Both teams battled through six ties and seven lead changes in the all-important third game, which saw PPHS break away from a 19-all contest with a 6-2 surge to secure a 2-1 match edge. Point never trailed in Game 4 and led 20-10 before winning five of the last six points — wrapping up the 3-1 match outcome. For second-year PPHS coach Amy Shriver, the victory was nothing more than a tribute to the hard work and dedication that her Lady Knights had put in this year. She also felt it was a fitting end for Brooke Entingh, Megan Bates and Beth Porter — her three seniors. “I’m really happy for the girls to get this first tournament win, especially the upperclassmen. They deserve this,” Point Pleasant senior Beth Porter (14) prepares to serve the ball during Wednesday night’s Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 volleyball match against Winfield at St. Albans High School. Shriver said. “The three seniors are part of the first group to play volleyball at Point Pleasant all the way through junior high, so it is nice to see all of those efforts get rewarded. “All of these girls have played a large role in what we’ve done this year and I’m happy that they get to be part of something that has never happened here before.” Megan Hammond led the Point Pleasant service attack with 12 points, followed by Entingh and Bates with 10 points apiece. Michaela Cottrill was next with nine points, while Charli Leach and Cierra Porter respectively added seven and four points. Beth Porter and Karissa Cochran also had two points each for the victors. Entingh led PPHS with seven aces, while Cottrill and Hammond each added five aces. Bates led the net attack with seven kills See WIN | 6B �2B Friday, November 7, 2014 Schramm honored by CoSIDA By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — One member of the University of Rio Grande volleyball team has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

This isn’t what he — or anyone else — imagined for the Cavaliers. As Utah’s Gordon Hayward was mobbed by teammates after hitting a fadeaway shot over the outstretched arm of Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson at the buzzer to beat Cleveland 102-100 on Wednesday night, James peered back incredulously at the celebration one last time. He shook his head and walked to the locker room after a second stunning loss in 24 hours. The Cavs: James, fellow All-Stars Kyrie Irving 60546081 and Kevin Love, picked by Vegas oddsmakers to win it all, are 1-3 and look nothing like championship contenders. Four games into the season, they are not gelling and something of a mess. “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” James said. Neither are NBA title teams. Just a week into the season, the Cavaliers have major chemistry issues, a motionless offense and defensive holes they might not be able to address without making a trade or two. Rookie coach David Blatt has preached patience, but has already toyed with his starting lineup, replacing guard Dion Waiters with veteran Shawn Marion. One day after James played passively in a loss at Portland to prove a point to his young teammates, Cleveland tied a franchise record with just six assists against Utah. According to STATS LLC, the six assists are the fewest in a game for any NBA team scoring at least 100 points since 1985-86. “There’s no way you can win a basketball game like that, just having six assists,” said James, who had four of the six assists. “We just can’t win like that. We have to figure out a way to help each other and not make it so tough.” And while some Cleveland fans are troubled by the slow start, James seems to be taking it in stride, posting a message on his Twitter page Thursday. James wrote: “In the words of the great (at)AaronRodgers12 ‘RELAX.’” Irving scored 34 points against the Jazz, but Cleveland’s starting point guard did not record an assist in 45 minutes — an alarming statistic for a player supposedly running his team’s offense. Irving’s performance came after James, without naming names, pointed toward some teammates playing selfishly in the 19-point loss to the Trail Blazers. “There’s a lot of bad habits, a lot of bad habits been built up the past couple years,” James said. Irving did speak with reporters following the loss in Portland, which included another statistical anomaly: James did Ed Suba Jr. | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT From left, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving, LeBron James and Kevin Love strike a pose while having their picture taken during the team’s Media Day at the Cleveland Clinic Courts on Friday, Sept. 26, 2014, in Independence, Ohio. not score in the second half. James is conflicted. He’s trying to decide whether to carry the Cavs or let them learn tough lessons through losses. The easy solution would be for the four-time MVP to take over games the way he used to, but James has a long-term vision for the Cavs. He’s willing to accept failure as long as it stimulates growth. “I still got to figure out ways to get my teammates involved, too,” James said after scoring 31 points, including Cleveland’s final six, in the loss to the Jazz. “‘Cause it just can’t be a one-, two- or three-man show. We have to do it together.” He’s been through this before. When James joined Miami in 2010, the Heat ended up in the finals but started 9-8. James was subjected to the same scrutiny he’s enduring now except he said there was “anger behind the questions.” This time around, the inquiries are less emotional but equally direct: What’s going on? For starters, James is still learning how to play with his new teammates and vice versa. There have been some sloppy moments as James, Love and Irving mesh after not being on the court together much in the preseason. The timing will come, but it’s going to take time. The Cavs, who play at Denver on Friday, have been atrocious defensively. They’re giving up wide-open shots and their interior rotations were too slow against the Jazz, who scored 46 points in the paint and outrebounded the Cavs 41-30. “We’re going to get every team’s best shot and we’ve got to understand we’ve got to play defense,” Marion said. “We’ve got to guard somebody. It’s easy to get points, but if you don’t play defense you’re not going to give yourself a chance.” Blatt’s offense, based on the precise cutting and screening principles he learned while playing guard at Princeton, isn’t working. The Cavs are standing and watching each other. They’re not moving the ball in search of a better shot. There have been flashes, not nearly enough. Back when he announced his return to Cleveland, James cautioned the Cavs would face challenges. In his Sports Illustrated essay, James forecast failing would be part of the path to a title. “I’m not promising a championship,” he said in July. “I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested.” Perhaps sooner than he thought. www.mydailysentinel.com �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, November 7, 2014 3B Rice suspension hearing concludes NEW YORK (AP) — A hearing for Ray Rice appealing his NFL suspension concluded Thursday after two days and testimony from the former running back and the head of the league. Rice and his wife Janay Rice left the hearing separately on Thursday about three hours apart after each testified at the New York office of a neutral arbiter. The arbitration hearing will determine whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying a two-game suspension of Rice, making it indefinite after video of the running back hitting his wife was released by TMZ. “I can trust it’s a fair process,” Rice’s attorney, Peter Ginsberg. Two people familiar with the case said Thursday there’s no timetable for the former federal judge presiding over the case to make her decision. Both spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the arbiter has told the sides not to discuss details of the private hearing. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell testified for more than two hours to start Rice’s appeal hearing on Wednesday, according to one of the sources. Ray and Janay Rice attended the full hearing on Wednesday. The hearing takes place nearly two months after the former Pro Bowl running back was suspended indefinitely by the NFL and released by the Baltimore Ravens. League security chief Jeffery Miller and Ravens President Dick Cass were among the key witnesses who also testified in the hearing. Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Rice is seeking immediate reinstatement, though Six NASCAR drivers penalized CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon avoided any penalty from NASCAR on Tuesday for their post-race fight at Texas. Two crew chiefs and four crew members from Hendrick Motorsports were punished for their roles in the brawl. NASCAR suspended three Hendrick crew members for six races for being “involved in a post-race physical altercation” and fined them each $25,000. A fourth Hendrick crew member was fined $10,000 and suspended for three races for the same offense. Gordon crew chief Alan Gustafson and Kasey Kahne crew chief Kenny Francis were each fined $50,000 and placed on probation for six races because “the crew chief assumes responsibility for the actions of his team members.” NASCAR senior vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the post-race actions were “unacceptable” following a review of content of the incident. NASCAR “identified several crew members who crossed the line with their actions, specifically punching others.” “A NASCAR championship is at stake, but we can’t allow behavior that crosses the line to go unchecked, particularly when it puts others in harm’s way,” Pemberton said. Suspended for six races and fined $25,000 were: Jeremy Fuller, the Kahne crew member who came from behind the scrum and threw several haymakers toward Keselowski, as well as Gordon crew members Dwayne Doucette and Jason Ingle. Dean Mozingo, another Gordon crew member, was fined $10,000 and suspended three races. Hendrick Motorsports said it would not appeal, and the punished team members would not face further sanctions from the organization. Hendrick team owner Rick Hendrick said in a statement the new Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format has brought “an unprecedented level of intensity every single week.” “Emotions run high when you’re racing for a championship, and that’s exciting for our fans and everyone involved with the sport. But there’s a line the competitors need to be cognizant of, and we understand that,” he said. He also defended Gordon, the four-time champion who confronted Keselowski after contact between the two on the track. Gordon had been racing for a win that would have moved him into the Nov. 16 championship finale when a caution bunched the field for a restart in overtime. Keselowski tried to wedge his car through a gap between Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, but made contact with Gordon that caused Gordon to spin when his tire went flat. He wound up 29th and went from first to fourth in the standings. Keselowski, the 2012 champion who has a seriesbest six wins this season, is seventh in the standings heading into Sunday’s race at Phoenix. Only the top four drivers will compete for the title in the season finale. “Jeff was rightfully fired up Sunday night, and it just reiterated to me how passionate he is and how much he wants to win,” Hendrick said. “The No. 24 team is a group that works together and is loyal to one another. They have our full support as we go into these final two races.” The fight began when Gordon tried to approach Keselowski on pit road following the race, but was stymied by Team Penske crew members standing in front of Keselowski. Then Kevin Harvick came from behind and shoved Keselowski into the scrum. Harvick was not punished by NASCAR. A full brawl quickly escalated with Hendrick team members throwing punches that left Gordon with a bloody lip and Keselowski spitting blood. Do your part! Recycle this newspaper! it’s unlikely a team would sign him this season. Rice has also filed a separate wrongful termination grievance against the Ravens. Goodell originally suspended the running back for two games. The incident occurred inside an elevator at an Atlantic City casino in February, when Rice and Janay Rice were engaged. The couple married a month later. The league considered the video made public after the initial suspension to be new evidence, giving Goodell the authority to amend Rice’s punishment. But Rice’s attorneys are arguing he should not be disciplined twice, citing the collective bargaining agreement. Rice’s side also is arguing that he described details of the incident to Goodell when they met in June. Goodell has called Rice’s description “ambiguous” while the player’s representatives have maintained he gave exact details. Rice’s attorneys also say the indefinite suspension isn’t consistent with other punishments issued by Goodell in the past. Former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones was jointly picked by the commissioner and the players’ union to hear the appeal. Though it isn’t a criminal case, Jones asked witnesses to testify under oath. Transcripts of the testimony will not be released publicly, one source said. Rice, a three-time Pro Bowl pick, played in two preseason games for the Ravens this year. His last carry was a 6-yard run against San Francisco on Aug. 7.

Just as with Coach of the Year consideration, the top defensive player award appears to have been a runaway through the halfway point of the schedule. While Houston and Denver LB Von Miller have stood out, too, Texans DE J.J. Watt has soared highest. “It’s incredible to think a player as consistently dominant as him can be a part of a team that’s lost 17 of its last 23 games,” Garafolo notes. “The NFL’s most disruptive defender does it all,” adds Banks. “He has the sacks, the touchdowns (three, one each via interception, fumble return and reception), the fumble recoveries, the passes defensed and the tackles for loss to make this race no contest in 2014.” There figures to be a 16-game contest for Offensive Player of the Year, which quite often is earned because of statistical performance. That could give Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray the nod over the likes of quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Tom Brady, and receivers Antonio Brown and Bears RB Matt Forte. “The Cowboys running back’s streak of eight consecutive 100-yard games ended on Sunday,” Vrentas says, “but with 1,133 rushing yards so far this season, Murray alone has amassed more yards on the ground than 28 NFL teams.” More than 28 teams — try 32 — have had rookies making an impact already. That’s the pattern of the NFL nowadays thanks to the salary cap and the way the passing game has become dominant. So the top two rookie awards are, well, very much up in the air. Not surprisingly, Bob Glauber of Newsday favors a receiver and a cornerback. Glauber pinpoints for Offensive Rookie of the Year Panthers wideout Kelvin Benjamin, who “already has 40 catches for 589 yards and five TDs.” His choice for Defensive Rookie of the Year is Chicago CB Kyle Fuller, “already a starter with three interceptions.” Others to consider halfway through the schedule on offense include Bills WR Sammy Watkins, Saints WR Brandin Cooks, Eagles WR Jordan Matthews, Cowboys guard Zach Martin, Packers center Corey Linsley and Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon. Other defensive contenders range from Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley to Rams DT Aaron Donald to Browns CB Justin Gilbert to safeties Ha Ha Clinton-Dix of Green Bay, Deone Bucannon of Arizona and Jimmie Ward of San Francisco.

The schedule also includes games played on consecutive Sundays in London for the first time. The Miami Dolphins will return to London for a third time to face the New York Jets on Oct. 4 in an AFC East matchup. The Jacksonville Jaguars will play the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 25. And, the following week, the Detroit Lions will be back for the second year in a row to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1. The Dolphins, Jaguars and Chiefs will be the “home” teams. The Bills, Chiefs and Jets will play regular-season games in Britain for the first time. “It is an honor for Kansas City to represent the NFL on an international stage,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said in a statement. “We are excited for the opportunity this creates for our fans, our city and the global growth of the Chiefs brand.” “It is an honor for Kansas City to represent the NFL on an international stage. We are excited for the opportunity this creates for our fans, our city and the global growth of the Chiefs brand.” — Mark Donovan Chiefs president The league will play the last of three games this year on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Earlier this season, the Miami Dolphins beat the Oakland Raiders and the Detroit Lions defeated the Atlanta Falcons. This season was the first time the league played three games at Wembley. There were two games last season, and one in each of the previous six seasons. The Jaguars have agreed to play a home game in London for four years through 2016. The game times for next year’s games will be announced at a later date. This year’s Lions-Falcons game kicked off at 1:30 p.m. in London, making it the earliest televised NFL game in the U.S. at 9:30 a.m. on the east coast and 6:30 a.m. on the west coast. All other games have started in the evening London time. “We believe we have a great 2015 schedule that will continue to attract new fans to our sport and strengthen the bonds with our existing fans,” NFL executive vice president of international Mark Waller said in a statement. “To provide U.K. fans the opportunity to see games on consecutive weekends, to see new teams, and to attend a division game, which feature some of the most passionate rivalries in our sport, are signs of the growth and depth of our U.K. fan base.” Online at: www.mydailysentinel.com ington will get recognized. As for the most recognizable award, MVP, quarterbacks usually dominate the conversation. But Murray and Watt certainly have become major parts of the discussion. Corbett, Vrentas and Banks favor Brady. “Brady has stats that are comparable to Peyton Manning, and just convincingly outplayed him head to head in Foxboro,” Banks says. Glauber likes the five-time MVP Manning, as does Garafolo. “I almost went Andrew Luck here, but that’s probably a reaction to the down game Manning had in New England followed by Luck and the Colts thrashing the Giants the next day,” Garafalo says. “Manning has been outstanding once again and his arm strength seems to have gotten even better. Luck’s numbers are gaudy and he’s been very good, but he’s not wrong when he points out there are areas he can clean up.” Most intriguing would be if Watt gets strong support for MVP, an award that has gone to just two defensive players: Alan Page (1971) and Lawrence Taylor (1986). “Eight-year, $108 million contract extension hasn’t led to any complacency,” Glauber says of Watt. “Just the opposite, the guy goes a million miles an hour on every play.” Steelers’ Allen ready to fill in for Polamalu PITTSBURGH (AP) — Will Allen is the next man up for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 11-year veteran will start for injured strong safety Troy Polamalu when the Steelers (6-3) face the New York Jets (1-8) on Sunday. Polamalu suffered a knee sprain near the end of the first half against the Ravens and already has been ruled out. Polamalu’s whirlingdervish defensive style is difficult to replicate, and his Pro-Bowl credentials are tough to match as well, but Allen noted that no adjustments are necessary. “We just go out and play the way that we have in any other week,” Allen said. “As long as we play hard and play together, we’ll be able to do what we’ve always done in the secondary, whether it’s the starters “Why I love my career in advertising... Every day brings a different challenge and opportunity. Helping these businesses with their goals to achieve additional business gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Working for a newspaper company like Civitas Media gives me great opportunities to sell more than just traditional newspaper advertising. We now can offer web, video, mobile and magazines. Team work...My co-workers are the best and when a problem or challenge arises we come together as a team to work out a plan. I have a lot of people behind me giving me the training and encouragement I need to be successful in advertising sales.” -- Mathew Rodgers To begin your career in advertising or advertising sales management either locally or at locations in eleven other states, please contact Greg Sweet at gsweet@civitasmedia.com 60511677 60511677 or some backups playing in the game.” Allen will be paired with free safety Mike Mitchell, who is in his first season with the Steelers. While Polamalu worked out on his own this past spring and didn’t participate during the preseason, Allen and Mitchell played together. “Some of the X-factor goes away because offenses have a tough time accounting for what Troy does,” Mitchell said. “He creates a lot of that by himself. But we played pretty well together earlier this year, so I’m confident that we’ll pick up where we left off.” The Steelers defense has taken a serious hit this year. Starting linebackers Jarvis Jones and Ryan Shazier, along with cornerback Ike Taylor, all were lost during a Week 3 victory at Carolina. Now, Polamalu is out indefinitely, and Jason Worilds (abdomen) missed Wednesday’s practice. Taylor isn’t concerned. “When you see young guys contributing and making plays, it’s good for me to see,” Taylor said. “And it’s even better for the team. But we’re talking about depth, and veterans like Will Allen fit right in with the young guys.” Allen has been a special teams ace throughout his career, but he also was a spot-starter with seven as a Steelers safety in 2012 when Polamalu missed nine games. So, the experience factor is there as well. “Will has played a lot of good football for us in the past, and I’m very confident that he’ll do a good job,” Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said. “We’ll miss Troy, because he’s a great player. (But) throughout the league, in every city, they’re going to have games where they have to go without some of their people. And we’re just without Troy this week.” �CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Friday, November 7, 2014 5B Meigs County Sheriff Vehicle and Equipment Auction DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 2014 BEHIND OLD VETERANS HOSPITAL Vehicles to be sold: Professional Services Professional Services LEGALS Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available DON’T LOSE ALL OF YOUR EARNED MONEY TO A LONG TERM NURSING HOME STAY… Meigs County Sheriff Vehicle and Equipment Auction DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 2014 BEHIND OLD VETERANS HOSPITAL Vehicles to be sold: 2010 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FABP7BV4AX110001 2009 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAHP71VX9X109510 2009 Ford Crown Vic VIN: Gary Stanley 2FAHP71V29X109517 2008 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 740-591-8044 IT’S NOT TOO LATE!! 2FAHP71V88X162950 Ford Crown Vic VIN: Please leave a message 740-992-7101 60543521 2008 2FAFP71V68X101443 2007 Dodge Caravan VIN: 1D4GP25BX7B117747 Miscellaneous 2007 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAFP71W77X108621 2006 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAFP71W66X156951 2006 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAFP71W86X156952 2004 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAFP74W24X130100 2003 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAFP71W23X154724 2003 Ford Crown Vic VIN: 2FAFP71W53X173798 2002 Ford Crown Vic VIN: Are You Still Paying Too Much 2FAFP71W52X154022 2001 Ford Crown Vic VIN: For Your Medications? 2FAFP71WX1X153415 You can save up to 93% when you fill your 2001 Jeep Cherokee VIN: prescriptions at our Canadian and Promotional 1J4FF48S81L619963 International Pharmacy Service.

(AP) — In the closing laps at Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon could see Dale Earnhardt Jr. ahead of him with enough time to formulate a plan on how to handle his teammate if Gordon could catch him. Earnhardt had been eliminated from the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field one week earlier and was racing only for a trophy. Gordon, still eligible to win the title, wanted to win last week to grab the automatic berth into the final round of NASCAR’s playoffs. So what would have happened? “I would have moved him for sure. There’s no doubt in my mind,” Gordon said after finishing second to Earnhardt at Martinsville. “Everybody who is out there racing has to weigh risk versus reward. For me, to win this race, it’s worth taking a lot of risk, even if you upset your teammate. “I think everybody out there that’s not in the Chase understands that if that guy can win that race and put himself in Homestead for the championship, you can pretty much guarantee that you’re going to get the bumper or get slammed or something.” Well, Gordon got slammed on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway and he didn’t like it one bit. He confronted Brad Keselowski on pit road following the race, and an exchange of words escalated quickly — with an assist from Kevin Harvick — into a full-blown melee between the crews. Both champions were left bloodied — Gordon’s lip and Keselowski spitting blood after taking a shot to the cheek — even though neither driver appeared to throw a punch or get close enough to each other to actually fight. But for the second time in four races, Keselowski was attacked in a post-race fracas because his aggressive driving upset someone. It happened at Charlotte last month when Denny Hamlin had to be restrained from going after him, then Matt Kenseth jumped him from behind before he was quickly pulled away. This time, Gordon was primed for a smackdown. He called his shot on his team radio when he said he was going to beat up Keselowski, who on a restart during an overtime two-lap sprint to the finish tried to wedge his car in between Gordon and teammate Jimmie Johnson to grab the lead.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong, who denied doping for years before admitting it, complained frequently about the numerous visits sample collectors made to his house at all hours of the day. But the NFL’s in-season HGH testing takes place at team facilities, which means players know they only would need to provide a blood sample on days when they’re there. Another limitation: Testing is not allowed on game days. During the offseason, a player is given up to 24 hours to set up a meeting, which could allow HGH to leave his system. “There has to be an unpredictability piece,” said Larry Bowers, chief science officer for USADA. “If you look at the WADA code approach, the way they get whereabouts information for the athletes, they try to be unpredictable. It’s a very important piece of what we do.” The NFL and the NFLPA initially paved the way for HGH tests in their 2011 labor deal, but it wasn’t until this year that the parameters were established: Every week, five randomly selected players on eight randomly selected teams — a computer makes the picks — are told to give blood. There are 950 tests during the preseason, regular season and playoffs combined, 385 more during the offseason. WADA, though, says HGH testing should increase during what it calls “out-of-competition periods.” One effective part of the NFL program, experts acknowledge, is that players can be tested more than once during a season, which would prevent them from feeling they’re “clear” after one test. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy noted the rules allow for increased testing if the league finds reason for it, such as a history of violations or a criminal investigation that collects evidence of doping. “If information is brought to our attention and there is law enforcement activity, then that would be taken into account,” McCarthy said. In 2007, for example, then-Patriots safety Rodney Harrison and thenCowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson were suspended by the NFL after the Albany (N.Y.) District Attorney’s office investigated an Internet drug operation. Another missing piece in the NFL system, according to USADA, is a lack of state-of-the art “longitudinal” testing, which tracks an athlete’s body chemistry over weeks and years. “We have utilized longitudinal analysis for many years, albeit not in the prospective manner of the more recent ‘athlete passport’-type programs,” McCarthy said. In interviews with the AP, players expressed a mix of curiosity, suspicion and nonchalance about the HGH tests. Tipoff From Page 1B aging 10 points and 11.5 rebounds per outing thus far. Kentucky Christian dropped a 99-78 decision in its season opener at Alice Lloyd College on Tuesday night.

Gibson, from Plantation, Fla., American Heritage High School, is the 19th verbal commitment in OSU’s 2015 recruiting class. ESPN.com gives him 5 stars and rates him the No. 2 quarterback nationally. Gibson indicated assurances from OSU that he would be given a chance to play quarterback and not shifted quickly to another position played a big role in his decision to commit to the Buckeyes. He had offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Notre Dame and others. Joe Burrow (Athens The Plains), the other quarterback who has verbally committed to Ohio State in the 2015 class, threw for 379 yards and four touchdowns against Nelsonville-York last Friday night in his final regular-season game. Damien Harris (Berea, Ky., Madison South), a 5-star running back who is one of OSU’s top targets in the 2015 recruiting class, is expected to visit Alabama on Nov. 15 when the Crimson Tide plays Mississippi State. Harris has been rehabbing a knee injury since early October.

But is it really a significant change or is it just a case of repackaging the same product in a new conJim tainer? Naveau After the first Columnist College Football Playoff rankings were announced last week, a website called BCSknowhow. com used the Associated Press poll, the USA Today coaches poll and four computer rankings to determine how the rankings might have looked if the BCS were still around. Both systems would have ranked Mississippi State No. 1 and Florida State No. 2. The same six teams, including four from the SEC West Division – Mississippi State, Alabama, Auburn and Mississippi – were in the top six in both of them. Ohio State was No. 15 in the simulated BCS and No. 16 according to the College Football Playoff committee. Michigan State, which was No. 8 under this year’s rules, would have been No. 9 using the BCS system. The SEC would have fared even better under the BCS system. LSU, which was not in the top 15 in this year’s first rankings, would have been there if the BCS still ruled. The change has been less than earth shaking. It is more like two or three panes of glass being rattled by a small tremor. The computers have been replaced by a human element, which is good. But with five of the 12 members of the College Football Playoff committee coming from the power conferences, don’t expect big changes. Now instead of everyone except the fans of two teams being unhappy with the BCS in the end, expect everyone but the fans of the final four teams to be unhappy with the system. That’s progress, I guess. But not a lot. Contact Jim Naveau at 419-993-2087 or on Twitter at @Lima_Naveau.
