(Swisher) Watson, 77 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 174 Cozart found competent to stand trial Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County man charged in the homicide death at the Meigs Motel earlier this year has been found competent to stand trial. During a recent motions hearing in Meigs County Common Pleas Court, Ryan A. Cozart, 33, of Racine, was determined competent to stand trial by Judge I. Carson Crow. The parties stipulated to the competency evaluation by Dr. Daniel Davis. Prosecutor Colleen Williams made the motion to find Cozart competent to stand trial, something defense attorney Dennis Sipes agreed with. The court then found Cozart competent to stand trial. Cozart is charged with aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and aggravated robbery in the May 9 death of Wallace R. Chafin at the Meigs Motel. Aggravated murder is a special felony and carries a sentence ranging from 15 years to life. Tampering with evidence is a felony of the third degree, and aggravated robbery is a felony of the first degree. A third-degree felony carries a possible sentence of 3-5 years, while a first-degree felony carries a possible sentence of 11 years. Cozart’s attorney Dennis Sipe had filed documents in late June suggesting that Cozart was incompetent to stand trial and entering a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Bond for Cozart was set at $1 million as requested by Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams in May. Cozart is currently in the custody of the Meigs County Sheriff awaiting trial. The charges against Cozart are in connection with the stabbing death of Chafin at the Meigs Motel on May 9. According to Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood, officials with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, and the Meigs County Coroner responded to the Meigs Motel soon after midnight on Thursday, May 9. Upon responding, officers found evidence of an altercation and a homicide. A pre-trial settlement conference and hearing on probation violations is scheduled for Nov. 7 in the case. A final pre-trial is set for Jan. 14 and a jury trial for Jan. 30.

Funding for the project came from Health Department grants with village employees providing needed labor. Park equipment repaired Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — The Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) Project of the Meigs County Health Department, in collaboration with the Village of Middleport, has completed the repair and restoration of playground equipment in the Ferman Moore Park located at the rear of Middleport Village Hall. Funding for the park improvements was made available by the Meigs County Health Department with grants from three funding sources: The Creating Healthy Communities Grant from the Ohio Department of Health, the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund (SSJCF) of Parkersburg, W.Va. and the Together On Diabetes grant from Marshall University’s Center for Rural Health in Huntington, W.Va. Materials and equipment were purchased with funding from those sources, and the labor for installation was provided by the Village of Middleport. Included in the park work was the installation of new backboards and baskets on the basketball court, new chains and seats on the two sets of swings, painting of the structures and the installation of gravel over protective pads around the playground equipment to make it safer for the children. In viewing the improvements Tuesday, Mayor Michael Gerlach said the park has always been well used by the children, many of whom come with their parents and grandparents. He added that the repair and restoration of the equipment, made possible through the efforts of the health department and its Creating Healthy ComSee EQUIPMENT | 5 MASON COUNTY — A solicitor contracted to raise funds for the local Shop with a Cop program at Christmas, is under investigation for alleged fraud which could have victims in not only Mason County, but Meigs and Gallia counties in Ohio, as well. According to Sgt. T.S. Mills of the West Virginia State Police, Mason County Post, during the course of the fund drive for the program offered by the Mason County Sheriff’s Association, deputies became aware that all of the collected funds may not have been deposited into the sheriff’s association bank account by the contracted solicitor. Upon receiving this information, the sheriff’s association contacted the W.Va. State Police to investigate the solicitor which has not been named at this point. This fund drive was primarily conducted in Mason County as well as in Meigs and Gallia counties in Ohio. According to the W.Va. State Police, the solicitor contacted persons and businesses by telephone and then sent a solicitor to the person or business who then collected the donation. Investigators are specifically looking to contact those who gave cash donations only to the program, because at this time, it appears that all of the cash donations may not have been deposited into the sheriff’s association account, according to the news release from the state police. The Mason County Post of the W.Va. State Police are requesting any business or person who gave a cash donation to the Shop with a Cop fund drive to call or stop by the post or the Mason County Sheriff’s Department to fill out a form. There will also be forms available at all law enforcement agency offices in Mason County for those who gave cash donations. These forms and complaints will be considered in this alleged fraud investigation. If anyone has any questions contact the state police detachment at 304-675-0850 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., MondayFriday. The Shop with a Cop program allows underprivileged kids to purchase Christmas gifts for their families and themselves during the holiday season while accompanied by law enforcement officers. Council hires AEP power outage affects Meigs County corrections officer, approves supplies Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com Photo by Brenda Davis MEIGS COUNTY — Several AEP trucks were behind Pomeroy Village Hall Tuesday afternoon working to restore power to the area. Portions of Pomeroy, Syracuse and Racine were without power totaling nearly 1,500 customers as of Tuesday afternoon, or around 13 percent of Meigs County’s AEP customers. Officials with AEP Ohio said the outage was caused by a problem with an underground cable in the substation that serves that area. Approximately 380 customers were being switched to an alternate power source at around 5 p.m. Tuesday. No alternate power source was available for the remaining affected customers, but AEP officials said repairs are expected to be done for the remainder of those affected by 10 p.m. Tuesday. MIDDLEPORT — A part-time corrections officer was hired and approval was given to Mony Wood, jail administrator, for expenditures of $672.29 for inmate uniforms, handcuffs, leg irons and one transport set at Monday night’s meeting of Middleport Village Council. Amie Hart who appeared before Council was hired as a part-time corrections officer after it was reported that Michael Barker, hired for the position at the last meeting, reported he could not accept the position because of his other work schedule. Hart noted that she has experience as a corrections officer having worked at Lakin and also in other locations in that capacity. It was noted that the siren taken from the old village hall is not repairable, and Councilman Craig Wehrung suggested Council begin a search to replace it. It was noted that it is not necessary for use by the fire department but for other purposes. Lawrence Powell appeared before Council about water quality at his home and testing will be carried out by the water department.

Sandy survivors mark day Health policy cancellations: that changed their lives NEW YORK (AP) — Still shaken by the memories of Superstorm Sandy’s frightening tidal surge, survivors came together Tuesday to rebuild and remember the day that changed their lives forever. Devastated residents recalled the help they got from strangers in the days and months after the storm. Some have mostly recovered from the storm, while others are still homeless or living without heat. In one touching moment, mothers sang “Happy birthday” to their 1-yearold babies who were rescued from darkened hospitals at Sandy’s peak. Sandy came ashore on Oct. 29, 2012, sending floodwaters pouring across the densely populated barrier islands of Long Island and the Jersey shore. In New York City, the storm surge hit nearly 14 feet, swamping the city’s subway and commuter rail tunnels and knocking out power to the southern third of Manhattan. The storm was blamed for at least 182 deaths in the U.S. — including 68 in New York and 71 in New Jersey — and property damage estimated at $65 billion. Here is a look at anniversary observances through a series of vignettes detailing how people are commemorating the unprecedented storm: ——— One year after Sandy, what Ellen Bednarz of Sayreville, N.J., remembered most was the kindness of the debris haulers who carted away the family’s ruined possessions. “I never saw more caring people,” she said at an event to thank firefighters who used boats to rescue scores of people. Before the storm hit, Bednarz and her family hastily moved their patio set, family room and office furniture to a storage unit and checked into a hotel. Only when they were allowed back to their splitlevel days later did they see the water had risen 14 feet — destroying everything, even the items the family had moved upstairs. Bednarz is renting an apartment and waiting to close on a government home buyout. “It’s over,” she said. “It’s probably one of the worst years of my life, but it’s behind me.” ——— Aiman Youssef found out the other day that one of his neighbors has been living in his own Staten Island garage. He says many people in his shorefront neighborhood are still displaced or living in partially restored homes, often without basic facilities. “A lot of people have moved out of the area,” Youssef said. “A lot of houses went into foreclosure.” Some homeowners are still reluctant to accept help, Youssef said, while others have been stymied by bureaucracy. He pointed to a bungalow across the street from his tent on Midland Avenue. A woman is living there without heat despite a city program that was supposed to restore heat, electric and water service, he said. “We were lower middle class,” Youssef said. “Now we’re poor.” ——— When Sandy darkened much of the city, some New Yorkers were only hours old. Others weren’t even born. On Tuesday, babies filled a Manhattan hospital room to celebrate their first birthdays — and their survival. Kenneth Hulett III weighed only 2 pounds when emergency medical workers rushed him out of the New York Hospital intensive care unit and down the stairs while hooked up to an oxygen tank. His mother, Emily Blatt, says her faith sustained her as she was evacuated on an orange sled. That day, more than 40 babies were safety moved from the hospital to other facilities. On Tuesday, their parents and hospital staff lighted candles atop cupcakes and sang, “Happy birthday, dear babies.” ——— An accident of geography left Giuseppe and Innocenza Picheo with two New Jersey properties to rebuild after Sandy: a primary home in Moonachie and a second home in Manahawkin on Long Beach Island. The Moonachie house had “never had a drop of water” in 43 years before Sandy, Giuseppe Picheo said. “Even now, I still think about it at night before I go to sleep,” Innocenza Picheo said. “When I go downstairs to wash clothes, I still look around and think about the water rushing in.” Both properties have since been rebuilt with the help of volunteers from a church group. But Giuseppe Picheo knows others haven’t been as fortunate. “I’m back to normal, but I feel very sorry for those who aren’t, especially now when you see all the images again,” he said. ——— The uneven nature of the recovery can be seen in places like the workingclass Arverne section of the Rockaways, where many people are living in damaged homes they can’t afford to fully repair. “When you drive around, it looks as if everything is OK. But everything is far from OK,” said pastor David Cockfield of the Battalion Pentecostal Assembly Church. “There is so much that is not being done.” Residents and members of Cockfield’s congregation had a list of grievances Tuesday: While the city has been building flood defenses on the wealthier, beach side of the railroad tracks that split the peninsula, the mostly black neighborhood at the edge of Jamaica Bay has no sea wall or storm sewers, and it floods frequently with stinking water. Moses Williams said the finished basement in his home is still a wreck because he can’t afford the $50,000 repair bill. “You can smell the mold,” he said. ——— The lobby of the Wall Street Inn, a boutique hotel located in a 19thcentury building in lower Manhattan, was lonely and empty. But manager Rachel Fogel said business is steady again despite initial fears that the hotel started by her grandfather might never come back. The hotel was evacuated as the storm hit. The scene on South William Street the next day was discouraging, she said. “It was dark. It was cold. It smelled like gasoline,” Fogel said. Weeks of work was needed on basement electrical and heating systems before the hotel reopened in December. Contractors were the first post-storm guests. Now the regulars are back. One was a man who came back months later to retrieve dry cleaning he sent on the eve of Sandy. New blow for administration WASHINGTON (AP) — Move over, website woes. Lawmakers confronted the Obama administration Tuesday with a difficult new health care problem — a wave of cancellation notices hitting individuals and small business who buy their own insurance. At the same time, the federal official closest to the website apologized for its dysfunction in new sign-ups and asserted things are getting better by the day. Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner said it’s not the administration but insurers who are responsible for cancellation letters now reaching many of the estimated 14 million people who buy individual policies. And, officials said, people who get cancellation notices will be able to find better replacement plans, in some cases for less. The Associated Press, citing the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, reported in May that many carriers would opt to cancel policies this fall and issue new ones. Administratively that was seen as easier than changing existing plans to comply with the new law, which mandates coverage of more services and provides better financial protection against catastrophic illnesses. While the administration had ample warning of the cancellations, they could become another public relations debacle for President Barack Obama’s signature legislation. This problem goes to the credibility of one of the president’s earliest promises about the health care overhaul: You can keep your plan if you like it. In the spring, state insurance commissioners started giving insurers the option of canceling existing individual plans for 2014, because the coverage required under Obama’s law is significantly more robust. Some states directed insurers to issue cancellations. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected. The cancellation notices are now reaching policyholders, and they’ve been complaining to their lawmakers — who were grilling Tavenner on Tuesday. “Based on what little information the administration has disclosed, it turns out that more people have received cancellation notices for their health care plans this month than have enrolled in the (health care website),” said Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. He cited a news report of 146,000 cancellations in his state alone. Up and down the dais, lawmakers chimed in with stories of constituents who had received similar notices. Republicans also offered examples of people being asked to pay more. Democrats countered by citing constituents who had been able to find lower-cost coverage for 2014 than they have now, some saving hundreds of dollars a month. Ranking Democrat Sander Levin of Michigan said one of his constituents has been paying $800 a month for a BlueCrossBlueShield plan and managed to find comparable coverage for $77, after tax credits that lower the premiums. Still, Levin added, “This has become a matter of legitimate discussion.” It could take months to sort out the balance of individual winners and losers. There’s not a central source of statistics on how many people have gotten cancellations. Even the number of people who buy insurance individually is disputed. It isn’t the administration’s fault, said Tavenner. “In fact the issuer has decided to change the plan; (they) didn’t have to.” Change is a constant in the individual insurance market, she added, and about half of plans “churn” over in any given year. Obama’s promise dates back to June of 2009, when Congress was starting to grapple with overhauling the health care system to cover uninsured Americans. “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period,” the president said in remarks to the American Medical Association. “No one will take it away, no matter what.” Some immediately saw the promise as too broad for Obama to deliver on, given that health plans are constantly being changed by the employers that sponsor them or by insurers directly. Nonetheless, Democrats in Congress devised a complicated scheme called “grandfathering” to try to make good on Obama’s pledge. It shields plans from the law’s requirements, provided the plans themselves change very little. Insurers say it has proven impractical. Republicans were not alone in raising concerns at Tuesday’s hearing. But Democrats put their complaints in the context of addressing problems so the law can deliver its historic promise of coverage to millions of uninsured people. “Let’s not fixate on the website, let’s fix the website,” said Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, put Tavenner on notice, saying, “The promise of affordable care can also be denied through management failure.” Tavenner delivered the most direct mea culpa yet from the administration for the technical problems that have kept many Americans from signing up through HealthCare.gov. “I want to apologize to you that the website has not worked as well as it should,” she told the committee. The first senior official to publicly answer questions from lawmakers, Tavenner was pressed not only on what went wrong with HealthCare. gov, but also whether lawmakers can trust recent promises that things will be running efficiently by the end of November. She declined to provide current enrollment numbers, saying repeatedly they will not be available until midNovember. But she did try to lower expectations of a strong initial signup. “We expect the initial number to be small,” Tavenner said. Dimmer view of economy makes Fed pullback unlikely WASHINGTON (AP) — A lot can change in six weeks. When the Federal Reserve last met in mid-September, almost everyone expected it to start reducing the stimulus it’s given the U.S. economy to help it rebound from the Great Recession. It didn’t. The Fed pulled a surprise by deciding not to slow its $85 billion-amonth in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases. Its bond buying has been intended to keep long-term loan rates low to support the economy. And now? After a 16-day partial government shutdown and a batch of tepid economic data, no one thinks the Fed will reduce its stimulus when it meets Tuesday and Wednesday. Many analysts now predict the Fed will maintain the pace of its bond purchases into next year. Blame the uncertainty surrounding Congress’ budget fight and renewed questions about the economy’s health. “I think March is now the earliest that any reduction in bond purchases will happen,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. By then, Fed members expect to have seen several months of stronger job growth. They also expect Congress to have resolved its budget impasse. If the Fed does start slowing its stimulus in March, it will have left its policy unchanged not just this week but also at its next meeting in December and at its subsequent meeting in late January. The delay would signal a dimmer economic outlook. The January meeting will be the last for Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is stepping down after eight years. President Barack Obama has chosen Vice Chair Janet Yellen to succeed Bernanke. Assuming that Yellen is confirmed by the Senate, her first meeting as chairman will be in March. Many economists think no major policy changes will occur before a new chairman takes over. Congress’ budget fight has clouded the Fed’s timetable. Though the government reopened Oct. 17 and a threatened default on its debt was averted, Congress adopted only temporary fixes. More deadlines and possible economic disruptions lie ahead. A House-Senate conference committee is working toward a budget accord. But wide differences separate Democrats and Republicans on spending and taxes. Without a deal by Jan. 15, another shutdown is possible. Congress must also raise the government’s debt ceiling after Feb. 7. If not, a market-rattling default will remain a threat. The standoff has led economists to trim their forecasts for economic growth in the October-December quarter. U.S. employers added just 148,000 jobs in September, a steep slowdown from August. And temporary layoffs during the shutdown are expected to depress October’s job gain. The shutdown also postponed the release of many of the government’s economic reports. The delay has made it harder for Fed officials to assess the economy. Given the uncertainties, analysts think the Fed will be cautious about paring its economic support. In June, when Bernanke suggested that the Fed could reduce its bond buying by year’s end, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 560 points in two days. Many investors feared that the Fed might remove its support prematurely and derail an already subpar recovery from the recession. Interest rates rose, too. The increase particularly in mortgage rates, before the Fed had even begun to change policy, alarmed the central bank. Higher mortgage rates could dampen the gains in housing, which has been a rare bright spot for the economy. In explaining its decision to maintain the pace of its purchases, the Fed expressed concern in September that higher rates, if sustained, could slow any improvement in the job market and the economy. Given the panic among investors when Bernanke raised the prospect that the Fed would slow its bond purchases, analysts think any pullback will be very gradual. That’s especially true if a pullback starts in March or later, when Yellen would be chairman and considering her first major policy move. “The one thing Janet Yellen will not want to do is start her term by making a mistake,” said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif. “She will be extremely cautious and will try to signal that the Fed is starting to back off its bond purchases without causing the kinds of effects we saw in the summer.” Delinquent Tax List Coming Peggy S.

He hopes a fractured Congress can fix itself after nearly collapsing the economy. Rubenstein, co-founder of the Washington, D.Cbased private equity firm Carlyle Group, says he was disappointed, saddened and embarrassed by the partial government shutdown and near-breach of the nation’s borrowing limit. Rubenstein may not be a household name, but in the world of philanthropy and finance, he is a celebrity. Rubenstein, 64, and two partners co-founded Carlyle in 1987 with $5 million in capital. After starting off investing primarily in the defense industry, Carlyle quickly expanded. The firm has gone on to invest in companies like Dunkin’ Donuts, Nielsen, and Hertz. The bread and butter business for private equity is the leveraged buyout, where a firm uses debt to buy a company in hopes of turning it around for a profit. Private equity has expanded into other products, however, including ones aimed at average investors. Carlyle is now the second-largest private equity firm after Texas-based TPG. Rubenstein is worth roughly $2.6 billion, the 206th richest person in the U.S., according to Forbes magazine. Like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, Rubenstein has pledged to give away the bulk of his fortune. He gave $7.5 million to help repair the Washington Monument. The panda enclosure at Washington’s National Zoo is named after Rubenstein. He’s made numerous other donations to the arts and humanities throughout the country as well. Rubenstein sat down with The Associated Press recently to discuss the government shutdown and his outlook for the economy. Rubenstein also spoke about a future in which private equity, an investment traditionally reserved for pension funds or rich families, will be accessible to all. The interview is edited for length and clarity: Q: What is your outlook for the economy? A: The U.S. economy is not in a recession, technically, but maybe this period should be called a recession in the future. The economy is struggling to come back and it’s growing at a slower pace than we would like. The recession reduced a lot of people’s willingness to invest, to buy homes, to build homes, a whole variety of things. We’ve accumulated so much debt on our government’s balance sheet that it’s slowing the growth of the economy. We have growing economic inequality. It’s getting much worse as a result of the recession and we have to do something about that. We have a dysfunctional government that’s unable to give direction to business people and workers on where the country is going. You add all those factors up; it does make people a little bit nervous spending money, borrowing money, taking some risk. We are slowly fixing those problems. However, it’s going to be a slow recovery and I don’t think we will see 4 percent growth any time soon. Q: What was your reaction to the 16-day government shutdown and the near breach of the nation’s debt ceiling? A: I am relieved that the shutdown and debt ceiling crisis are behind us. Hopefully something like this will not occur again.

Q: What should Congress tackle first — now that the debt ceiling and shutdown is resolved? A: They should try to reassure the country — and the world — that the last few weeks were an aberration and not likely to be repeated early next year. Once that re-assurance occurs, focus on how to spur economic growth — while reducing economic disparity — (which) would be a great plus for everyone. Q: What is the state of the private equity industry? A: Deal volume is less than half of what it was in 2007 and fundraising is now 46 percent of what it was. One bright spot is that distributions (to investors) have just about fully returned to their prerecession peak. As a result, the private equity firms have also re-tooled themselves. There is much more hands-on work with the companies than there ever was before, and far less financial engineering. A number of the firms have gone public as well. While they’re not household names, they are now publicly traded and operate in a different model than they ever did before. You also see much more emphasis on investing outside the U.S. Q: If private equity is about turning around companies, why have you focused on the emerging markets rather than the U.S., particularly with what companies went through in the recession? A: The first rule of investing is to diversify. In the U.S. and developed markets, you have aging populations, large government debt, large government entitlement programs and very slow growth. Compare that to emerging markets where you have modest debt levels, much younger populations, larger GDP growth and fewer government entitlement programs. TRENTON, N.J. — Tracking the toll of a disaster like Superstorm Sandy is not like keeping score at a baseball game. Its damage to lives and property may never be known precisely, and there are multiple ways to tally it. In the case of deaths, tracking is done in some places by state governments, and in some by counties, and without one standard as to whether a death is attributable to the storm. The federal government has reported two different death totals from the Oct. 29, 2012, storm. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, relying on data from the American Red Cross, counted 117. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration tally, which used local government figures and media accounts, was 159 caused directly or indirectly by the storm. The Associated Press in September surveyed state, and in some cases, local governments along the storm’s path and got a different figure — 182 in the United States. A February report from the National Hurricane Center counted another 72 deaths in the Caribbean and one in Canada. Any of the numbers would rank the storm as one of the 25 or so deadliest cyclones ever to hit the United States, but far behind earlier storms that killed hundreds or thousands. David Dosa, a geriatrician at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Providence, R.I., and an associate professor at Brown University, said he has found from studying death records of storms including Katrina that the official numbers tend to undercount deaths. “When you don’t know what a death is from, you quite often assume it came from something common like a coronary disease,” he said — even though the storm may have been a major factor. Sandy was the first big storm in generations to hit the densely populated New York City area so hard. And the damage total is so high — $65 billion, according to a NOAA report — not necessarily because of the severity of the weather, but rather because of where it happened. Damage calculations are constantly refined to add more detail, a factor that partly accounts for why more recent storms have higher damage amounts than those decades ago, even when inflation adjustments are made. For instance, until the 1990s, they did not include figures for business interruptions due to storms. And now, those figures are likely not complete. That $65 billion price tag and other estimates of Sandy’s damage would rank the storm the second-costliest cyclone in the U.S. since 1900, even considering inflation. But it would fall lower by another measure. Roger Pielke Jr., an environmental studies professor at the University of Colorado, said the inflation-adjusted storm numbers tell more about how much wealthier the U.S. has become and how much its coasts have developed than how severe the weather is. When models are used to figure out how much damage historic storms would have done if they had hit now, the $65 billion cost is no longer No. 2, but rather in the lower half of the top 10. Pielke said a hurricane that hit Miami in 1926 would have been worse, causing about four times as much damage as Sandy. Former NBC news chief now a Yes man David Bauder AP Television Writer NEW YORK — For eight years as NBC News president, Steve Capus worried about Brian Williams, the “Today” show and rapid changes in the news industry. Now he’s taking time for a passion project: getting Yes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Capus is collaborating with two political pros on an awareness campaign for the band that enthralled him when he attended their concert as a 16-year-old in Philadelphia in 1979. The team is already halfway there: Yes is one of 16 candidates for enshrinement next year, its first time nominated. “I don’t want people to think I’ve completely lost my mind,” said Capus, who after leaving NBC last spring has done consulting work in communications and plans to teach journalism and management. “This isn’t my new career. I’ve got Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

NBC got Yes members to film a salute for his going-away party. A reporter covering a rock hall induction a few years ago was surprised by an aggrieved email from Capus about Yes being overlooked. “They’re all great musicians,” said Capus, who’s taking bass guitar lessons. “Nobody sounds like Yes does. They’ve got their own unique sound. They’ve kind of been the soundtrack to my life.” He was contacted by Republican consultant John Brabender and Tad Devine, a Democrat, to join their effort. Both are Yes fans and admittedly bored between political campaigns. They thought boosting Yes could be fun, and perhaps fodder for a reality TV show about a Republican and Democrat cooperating during polarizing times.

US spy programs may have gone too far WASHINGTON (AP) — Faced with anger over revelations about U.S. spying at home and abroad, members of Congress suggested Tuesday that programs the Obama administration says are needed to combat terrorism may have gone too far. The chairman of the House intelligence committee said it might help to disclose more about National Security Agency operations but barring NSA from collecting millions of Americans’ phone records would scrap an important tool. “We can’t ask the FBI to find terrorists plotting an attack and then not provide them with the information they need,” said Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich. He spoke at the start of a hearing where top intelligence officials were testifying, including National Security Agency Director Keith Alexander. A bipartisan plan introduced Tuesday would end the NSA’s massive sweep of phone records, allowing the government to seek only records related to ongoing terror investigations. Critics both at home and abroad have derided the program as intrusive and a violation of privacy rights. The proposal comes as President Barack Obama and key lawmakers are saying it’s time to look closely at surveillance programs that have angered many Americans and now are drawing complaints from world leaders because of reports that their cellphone conversations were monitored. The White House is considering ending eavesdropping on friendly foreign leaders, a senior administration official said. The administration tried to tamp down damage Tuesday from the months-long spying scandal — including the most recent disclosure that the National Security Agency had monitored the cellphone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. A final decision about listening in on allies has not been made, the senior official said. The White House also faces complaints at home about the NSA collecting millions of Americans’ phone records and sweeping up Internet traffic and email. The Obama administration defends those programs as important in the fight against terrorism. Asked about the reports of eavesdropping on world leaders, Obama said in a television interview that the U.S. government is conducting “a complete review of how our intelligence operates outside the country.” Obama declined to discuss specifics or say when he learned about the spying operations. “What we’ve seen over the last several years is their capacities continue to develop and expand, and that’s why I’m initiating now a review to make sure that what they’re able to do doesn’t necessarily mean what they should be doing,” he said Monday on the new TV network Fusion. A second U.S. official said Obama did not know the NSA was monitoring Merkel’s communications until after his visit to Germany in June. The official said information about the surveillance of foreign leaders emerged in the course of the White House’s broader review of spying programs, triggered by media reports based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and insisted on anonymity. The White House says the United States isn’t currently listening to Merkel’s conversations and won’t do so in the future. On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner said there should be a thorough review of intelligence gathering, bearing in mind the responsibility to keep Americans safe from terrorism and the nation’s obligations to allies. “We have to find the right balance here,” said Boehner, R-Ohio. “And clearly, we’re imbalanced.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, called for a “total review of all intelligence programs” following the Merkel allegations. In a statement, the California Democrat said the White House had informed her that “collection on our allies will not continue.” The senior administration official said that statement was not accurate, but added that some unspecified changes already had been made and more were being considered, including terminating the collection of communications from friendly heads of state. That official also was not authorized to divulge information about the program by name and insisted on anonymity. Reports based on new leaks from Snowden indicate that the NSA listened in on Merkel and 34 other foreign leaders. “With respect to NSA collection of intelligence on leaders of U.S. allies — including France, Spain, Mexico and Germany — let me state unequivocally: I am totally opposed,” Feinstein said. In response to the revelations, German officials said Monday that the U.S. could lose access to an important law enforcement tool used to track terrorist money flows.

Equipment From Page 1 munities Program Manager Joseph Verdier, has made it even more attractive for neighborhood kids and their parents who appreciate a safe place where their children can be active and families can spend time together. Verdier explained that Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) is a grant program from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention administered through the Ohio Department of Health. Its purpose is to meet community needs with programs such as the playground initiative, implemented at the local level. “CHC projects are designed to enhance the abilities of local communities to develop and implement policy, systems, and environmental change strategies intended to help prevent or manage healthrisk factors for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and obesity,” he said. He further noted that specific project activities are directed at reducing tobacco use and exposure, promoting physical activity and healthy eating, improving access to quality preventive health care services and eliminating health disparities. “The main focus of CHC is to implement programs and interventions which empower individuals and communities to engage in behavior change which can eventually lead to healthy lifestyles. This is done, by developing and promoting tobacco free policies, implementing programs to increase physical activities, changing the environment, promoting/supporting infrastructure changes that increase physical activities like biking and walking, and increasing/improving availability of healthier food and beverage choices in public service venues, schools and commercial entities. Meigs County CHC undertakes initiatives in communities throughout the county that impact its 24,000 residents,” Verdier commented. Last year the health department contributed toward the purchase of new playground equipment for Diles Park in downtown Middleport. He said that during 2013, the CHC project expended financial resources in support for projects and local initiatives geared to- wards promoting physical activity, tobacco free living and access to healthy food in Meigs County, and that in 2014, his hope is to collaborate with other communities to fulfill the Meigs County Board of Health’s vision of a healthy vibrant community wherein all residents can enjoy good quality of life. 60458345 �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Point CC ends season at regionals Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ONA, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant cross country program had its 2013 season come to an end Thursday at the Class AAA Region IV Championships held at Cabell Midland High School in Cabell County. The Big Blacks finished sixth in the boys competition with 162 points, while the Lady Knights had only one competitor at the event and did not record a girls team score. The Cabell Midland boys and Hurricane girls came away with the team championships. CMHS won the boys crown with 25 points, followed by Hurricane (44) and Winfield (61) in the top-three — with those teams advancing to the state meet later this week. Huntington was fourth out of seven teams with 139 points, followed by St. Albans (148), PPHS and Lincoln County (199). Nick Salmons of CMHS won the individual title with a time of 16:12.73, while Jake Henley of Hurricane was the overall runner-up with a mark of 16:22.69. There were 57 individuals in the boys competition. Hunter White led the Big Blacks by placing 21st overall with a time of 18:00.67, followed by Joseph Littlepage in 27th with a mark of 18:59.40.

Sabers slip past Ohio Valley Christian, 4-1 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — Too little, too late. The Ohio Valley Christian soccer team didn’t score its first goal of Saturday’s OCSAA consolation game until the 76th minute. By that time Elyria First Baptist had built its lead and the Sabers held on for the 4-1 win and third place in the state. The Sabers got on the board first when senior Jacob Baker scored on a free kick from 20 yards out in the 26th minute. Baker’s free kick goal was the lone score of the first half and First Baptist led 1-0. After the break Baker earned his hat trick, scoring a goal in the 48th minute and a goal in the 51st minute, putting the Sabers ahead 3-0. In the 74th minute EBCS went ahead 4-0 on a Chase Parker goal. With four minutes left in the game OVCS sophomore Eric Blevins scored on a corner kick to get the Defenders on the board. The Defenders failed to score again and lost 4-1. Ohio Valley Christian outshot the Sabers 16-to-15 but both teams had 12 shots on goal.

With the triumph, the host Lady Knights (614) improved their Mason County record to a perfect 4-0 this season. PPHS swept Hannan in a pair of straight-game decisions and also defeated the Lady Falcons (8-14) last week in straight games at WHS. Early on, however, Wahama showed that it had come to play — as the guests battled with PPHS through nine ties and 10 lead changes in Game 1. The Lady Falcons claimed their biggest lead at 12-9, but the Lady Knights rallied to knot things up at 17 before taking their biggest advantage of Game 1 at 23-18. Wahama scored seven of the next nine points to knot things up at 25-all, then reeled off two straight points for a narrow two-point decision. Point Pleasant never trailed in Game 2, as the hosts broke out to an early 13-7 cushion — their largest lead of the contest. Wahama rallied back to knot things up 15-all, but Point closed Game 2 with a 10-6 run to tie the match at one apiece. The Lady Knights also never trailed in Game 3, jumping out to early leads of 6-0 and 10-2. The Lady Falcons whittled their deficit down to 14-8, but the hosts countered with a 9-3 surge for their biggest lead of the game at 23-11. Wahama won three of the last five points, but ultimately fell 25-14 for a 2-1 PPHS match lead. There were five ties and six lead changes in the finale, as Point Pleasant jumped out to an early 13-6 advantage. Wahama battled back to tie things at 16 before taking its biggest lead at 23-18. PPHS rallied with a 6-1 run to knot things up at 24, then won three of the final four points to wrap up the minimal two-point decision and a 3-1 match victory. Charli Leach led the Point Pleasant service attack with 14 points, followed by Michaela Cottrill and Beth Porter with 10 points apiece. Megan Bates was next with eight points, while Megan Hammond and Cammy Hesson respectively chipped in six and four points. Karissa Wahama libero Taylor Warden (12) bumps a ball in the air in front of teammate Olivia Hill, left, during Game 3 of Monday night’s non-conference volleyball contest against Point Pleasant in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Cochran also had two points for the victors. Leach led the hosts with seven aces, followed by Cottrill with six and Bates with three. Porter and Hammond also contributed two aces and one ace to the winning cause, respectively. Bates led the net attack with 13 kills, followed by Porter with five kills and Hammond with four kills. Becca Musgrave was next with three kills, while Leach and Brooke Entingh chipped in two kills each. Cottrill also had one kill for Point Pleasant. Leach led the hosts with 14 assists, while Entingh added 10 assists. Cochran made a team-best 25 digs, followed by Cottrill with 13 and Hesson with 10 digs. Bunni Peters paced Wahama with 11 service points, followed by Emily Casto with nine points and Kylie Oliver with seven points. Cynthia Hendrick was next with five service points, while Olivia Hill and Sierra Carmichael respectively chipped in four and two points. Boston preps for possible World Series celebration BOSTON (AP) — Sports championships aren’t rare in Boston anymore, and security officials are drawing on what went right — and wrong — during recent victory celebrations as the Red Sox look to claim another title. The Red Sox return to Fenway Park on Wednesday needing one win in the next two games against the St. Louis Cardinals to win their third World Series since 2004. Meanwhile, police are also dealing with a visit by President Obama, who’s stopping in town hours earlier Wednesday to discuss his health care reform. City officials on Tuesday said they’re confident both events will go off smoothly. But they’re tightening parking restrictions, increasing police presence and asking the public to help unclog streets and keep any Red Sox victory celebrations safe. “We’ve had a lot of great success. … We’ve had some challenges and some tragedies,” said Boston Police Superintendent-in-chief Daniel Linsky. “We’re hoping that fans have grown and got accustomed to the championships, and we’re hoping that they realize that there’s no reason to destroy property to celebrate a sports victory.” The Red Sox’s 2004 title was its first since 1918. But there have been plenty of reasons to celebrate Boston sports success since. The Sox won again in 2007, while the Patriots (2005), Celtics (2008) and Bruins (2011) have also won championships. The postgame street partying after the wins has been generally been uneventful, but not always. In 2004, a 21-year-old college student was killed by a pepper pellet fired by Boston police during crowd control efforts following the Red Sox win in the American League Championship Series. �Wednesday, October 30, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com LEGALS LEGALS Auction @ Pine Street Storage Units Nov 2, 2013 @ 10am Call for more details 740-388-8633 after 6pm or Josh Bodimer Auctioneer at 645-6665 or go to auctionzip.com (Ohio Revised Code Sec. 2329.26) The State of Ohio, Meigs County CITY NATIONAL BANK Plaintiff VS.

(AP) — Clint Bowyer fielded fan questions for nearly 30 minutes Monday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, where the topics covered everything from his recent appearance on an episode of “Duck Dynasty” to his displeasure with people who text while driving. Not a single person asked him about Richmond. Finally, nearly two months after Bowyer spun late in the race that set the field for the Sprint Cup-deciding Chase, the scandal is finally fading into his rearview mirror. His actions in the Sept. 7 race triggered a massive chain reaction that knocked the wind out of NASCAR as it headed into its championship portion of the season. Michael Waltrip Racing was crippled with the loss of a longtime sponsor, and Martin Truex Jr. and 15 percent of the MWR workforce were given pink slips. Bowyer, one of the most popular drivers inside the garage, suddenly found he was considered Public Enemy No. 1 among a fan base that only in the last few years had begun to appreciate his talent and humor. “I was in middle of a storm, certain kind of storm. A four-lettered storm is what I’d call that,” Bowyer said Monday.

I know that for a fact. I know that to be genuine. It’s been tough watching him go through that process, too, because he’s not that kind of guy to go starting that kind of mess.” Bowyer said he read things about himself over the last seven weeks, heard things on the radio, and learned to bite his tongue. “Out of respect and understanding the magnitude of the situation, I never would have dreamed in a million years that would have escalated into what it did, it was a bad deal,” Bowyer said. “Hardest thing I’ve ever been through in this sport, but certainly not the hardest thing I’ve been through in my life. It was tough to listen to those things for a while. It’s not like me to just keep my mouth shut. I wanted to bite back, but certainly, again, respected the situation. I understood the magnitude of it and knew I was part of it and didn’t want to be.” It’s the third time since 2010 that Bowyer’s title chances were yanked out from underneath him in the blink of an eye. He opened the 2010 Chase with a win at New Hampshire that vaulted him from 12th to second in the standings. Then NASCAR ruled his car was illegal, docked him 150 points, and the lengthy appeal process wore down his race team. Richard Childress Racing never got the points back, but it didn’t matter, anyway. Bowyer finished 25th and 15th in the two races after New Hampshire and spent the entire Chase trying not to finish last in the field. Last year, Bowyer used a win at Charlotte at the midpoint of the Chase to move to fourth, then close to third in the standings with the leaders in sight with two races remaining. But an angry Jeff Gordon chose the penultimate race to settle a vendetta and deliberately wrecked Bowyer late in the race at Phoenix. It ended his title chances with one race remaining, and this year he hardly got out of the gate. “Just been the story of my career in NASCAR. Two steps forward and one back,” he said. “A lot of that except for this last time, I didn’t have anything to do with it. I don’t build the damn cars, I didn’t crash myself at Phoenix. Some of those are out of your control. Certainly one of them I had something to do with it. It’s tough, but hey, man, it’s life. Life’s tough. It ain’t going to slow me down. I have a blast doing this.” And Bowyer had a blast on Sunday at Martinsville, where it was clear he’s finally out of the fog. He led 60 laps — he’d led only nine laps total since Richmond, where he led 72 — and finished third. It was his best finish of this Chase, only his third top-10 in seven races and first top-five. It moved him up two spots in the standings to sixth, and Bowyer can now see the top-five in the final standings. That’s where he wants to end the season, and where he believes he belongs after 13 weeks ranked no lower than third. “It was fun to be at Martinsville and be back in action. I live for that. The excitement, intensity, emotion, energy, the fights, the hard racing,” he said. “It wasn’t meant to be this year. As far as the future, there’s been a lot of plans and meetings to get that set in stone and make the best of it. We will. We’ve made mistakes and certainly learning from them. I’ve had enough. You’re going to play the cards you’re dealt the best you can.” Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous CANADA DRUG: Canada Drug Center is your choice for safe and affordable medications.

He was second in the points heading into the Richmond race and thought he’d challenge for a championship this year. Then came the fallout from Richmond, where NASCAR said MWR deliberately manipulated the finish of the race in an attempt to get Truex into the 12-driver Chase field. He said he quickly figured out the final laps at Richmond had created a firestorm that wasn’t going away anytime soon. “I didn’t that night. But then (figured out) ‘this is not good,’ “Bowyer said. “I was immediately crushed because of the sport and what I care and believe about this sport. It was tough.” The Chase was effectively over for Bowyer before it began. He opened with a ninth-place finish at Chicago, where points leader Matt Kenseth won, and was 17th the next week at New Hampshire, where Kenseth won again. Just like that, Bowyer was 10th in the standings and out of the title hunt. He acknowledged Monday the Richmond drama “definitely” contributed to the No. 15 team stumbling out of the gate. Bowyer wasn’t the same off the track, either. Dale Earnhardt Jr. noted last month that it had been difficult to watch Bowyer OMAHA STEAKS: ENJOY 100% guaranteed, delivered-to-the-door Omaha Steaks!

Your strength emerges from an ability to detach and see the big picture. Your empathy increases, and your understanding grows. Some of you will add to these qualities through travel, education or the pleasure of knowing someone who is very evolved. You are likely to broaden your immediate circle of friends and network new acquaintances into your professional life. If you are single, you could create the type of relationship you desire. If you are attached, the two of you could become quite an unstoppable force. VIRGO is a remarkable example of efficiency.

You might waver less than other signs do, but you will remain sensitive to the different undercurrents. Through understanding your nature, you will take a risk. Tonight: Try to relax. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A brainstorming session could trigger even more of your high energy. You might decide to pursue an unusual course. Recognize your boundaries, but also note the ease with which you can break down one of these barriers, if you so choose. Tonight: Take a midweek break. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to hang close to home. Consider making your office more comfortable or try working from home. You see life differently from how many people see it. Be willing to try a new approach that might achieve the same goal. Tonight: Stay centered. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You naturally stumble upon the right words. Keep the lines of communication open.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your sense of direction points you to getting feedback and support from others. News from someone at a distance puts a smile on your face.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tension builds because others have expectations that you do not want to meet. You could feel stuck. You must weigh the pros and cons of a decision. A partner or family member might guide you in the direction of accepting a new responsibility. Tonight: Go till the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you experience some discomfort with several situations, detach. You must have a favorite way of distancing yourself from trigger issues. Use it. Reframe the issue at least several times. Recognize that your perspective is not the only one. Tonight: Put on some great music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Relate to key people directly.

Use caution when making a money decision, especially if there is high risk involved. Tonight: Out to dinner with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seem to be unable to contain themselves around you. They keep testing your boundaries. Sometimes these people can be very charming, yet at other times, they can be testy and difficult. Tonight: Make sure that you are ready for tomorrow.

His last three games have changed the conversation. The third-year quarterback is on the best threegame stretch in Bengals history. He’s thrown 11 touchdown passes — no other Bengals quarterback has done that — while hitting every type of throw. For the first time, he’s looking very comfortable in a West Coast offense that the Bengals thought he would grow into someday. “I don’t think there’s really anything that’s changed in me,” Dalton said. “I feel like I’m playing with a lot of confidence and our guys are doing the same thing. That’s been big for us. “We know what we’re doing out there, and they’re in the right spots and they’re making plays. That’s kind of what it comes down to.” Cincinnati (6-2) is in control of the AFC North in large part because its quarterback has grown up a lot this season. He’s thrown for 300 yards in three straight games, matching the best such streak in club history, according to STATS LLC. The only other Bengals quarterback to do that was Ken Anderson, and the two of them share the No. 14. All the talk about what he can’t do is giving way to wondering how far he can take the Bengals, who play at Miami (3-4) on Thursday night. “That’s one guy who I don’t think feeds into all of that other stuff,” receiver A.J. Green said. “It just comes with the territory of being the quarterback. “I’ve always had faith in him. We all felt like he was going to take us to the next level, and he’s showing that now.” The second-round pick from TCU did some impressive things in his first two seasons, taking the Bengals to the playoffs as a wild card each year — no other Cincinnati quarterback had done that. He threw 47 touchdown passes, trailing only Dan Marino and Peyton Manning for most in their first two seasons. But there were a lot of doubts as well. Much of the credit went to the defense, which was among the league’s best. And when the Bengals did reach the playoffs, Dalton had two of his worst games in opening-round losses to Houston. The Bengals decided to diversify the offense and drafted tight end Tyler Eifert and running back Giovani Bernard, who are dependable receivers. It took a few games before all the pieces started fitting together. In the last three, it’s worked beautifully. Dalton threw a career-high five touchdown passes — four to second-year receiver Marvin Jones — during a 49-9 win over the Jets on Sunday that showed Dalton can dominate a game. “He put all those balls on the money, especially the deep balls,” safety Chris Crocker said. That’s been one of Dalton’s biggest shortcomings. During a 19-13 playoff loss at Houston last season, Dalton overthrew an open Green in the end zone in the closing minutes. Dalton spent a lot of time in the offseason working on his throwing motion to get more accuracy on the long passes. When the Jets came out in man-to-man coverage, the Bengals threw it deep and Dalton connected. Green alone had two catches for more than 50 yards. “Yeah, that was big,” Dalton said. “It’s something that’s been conscious, that I’ve worked on. To hit those was definitely gratifying. To know that we’ve done it in practice, now it’s time to do it in some of these games.” One of the most encouraging signs in the past three weeks is the way Dalton has used his other receivers. In his first two years, he’d lock on Green, who was by far his best option. Now, he has more choices and he’s using all of them. For instance, Jones has caught six of his 11 touchdown passes in the last three games. “As long as he does that and doesn’t worry about how many catches (Green) has, at the end of the day we’ll be fine,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “These other guys are getting to the spots and making the David Eullitt | Kansas City Star | MCT photo plays while they’re there.

The Bengals won 28-6. so doggone good.” Browns hold on to WR Josh Gordon CLEVELAND (AP) — An undeniable talent, Josh Gordon is also a risk. And the Browns believe one worth hanging on to. With rampant trade speculation swirling around Gordon for weeks, the Browns decided to keep the wide receiver who has developed into Cleveland’s top playmaker but whose off-field issues will continue to loom over the team. When the NFL’s 4 p.m. trade deadline arrived Tuesday, the Browns sent out official word that they did not make any deals — involving Gordon or any other player on their roster. The Browns received calls on a number of players, but did not accept an offer. Following Cleveland’s 23-17 loss on Sunday in Kansas City, Gordon, who was suspended for two games earlier this season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, said he was eager for the deadline to pass. “I do want to stay in Cleveland,” he said after catching five passes 132 yards and a 39-yard touchdown. “Cleveland is my first home, the team I got drafted to. It’s a great place to be. I love the fans in Cleveland and everything about it, but business is business.” On Monday, coach Rob Chudzinski reiterated that the team was not “shopping” Gordon or any other players. It’s easy to see why Gordon would draw outside interest from any team in the market for a wide receiver. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Gordon has 32 catches for 582 yards and three touchdowns in six games this season. He’s had three 100-yard receiving games, is averaging 18.2 yards per catch and all eight of his career TDs have been at least 20 yards long. However, Gordon has some baggage. The 22-year-old was suspended earlier this season for his second failed drug test, which he blamed on prescription cough medi- THE DAILY SENTINEL | THE DAILY TRIBUNE | THE POINT PLEASANT REGISTER Sponsored By: Taylor Motors www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailytribune.com www.mydailyregister.com cine that contained codeine. He was suspended at Baylor for marijuana use and later failed a test after transferring to Utah. If he fails another drug test, Gordon could be banned from playing by the league for at least one year. Gordon has also been twice cited this season for speeding in his car, once for going 98 mph. He has acknowledged his shortcomings and the Browns are hoping Gordon, who was selected in the second round of the 2012 supplemental draft, will mature and continue to be a productive player. They weren’t the same without him on the field for the first two games as opposing defenses didn’t have to worry about his speed or size. At times, the persistent trade rumors seemed to affect Gordon’s play, and he was looking forward to playing without any distractions. He’s got nothing more to worry about. The Browns hope they don’t either. VOTE NOW!!! Vote for your favorite entry in each of the four categories at www.mydailysentinel.com; www. mydailytirbune.com; or www.mydailyregister.com!

Midway through the conference season, the maneuvering isn’t just going on at the top of the standings. While four teams already are bowl eligible, others are scrapping to fill the remainder of the league’s sevenbowl allotment. Alongside fifth-ranked Baylor, No. 13 Oklahoma, No. 15 Texas Tech and No. 18 Oklahoma State, it’s unranked Texas (5-2, 4-0) that can take sole possession of first place over the idle Bears with a win at home Saturday against Kansas. Talk about a turnaround in confidence from a month ago, when the Longhorns were 1-2 after back-toback blowout losses to BYU and Mississippi. They’ve won four straight since. “It’s just a change completely,” Texas coach Mack Brown said Monday. “The team now feels like they do have a chance to win the Big 12 championship, which is what their goal has been since January. “They do understand they’ve got to continue to improve. We still had some issues Saturday night that we can fix. But it’s much easier to fix things when you win.” The Longhorns, coming off a 30-7 win at TCU, play three of their next four games at home before the regular-season finale at Baylor (7-0, 4-0). The Bears and Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1) have a bye week to prepare for their Nov. 7 showdown in Waco, Texas. The break will give Sooners coach Bob Stoops some coveted extra time to figure out how to slow down Baylor and quarterback Bryce Petty. “Great arm. Great poise. Throws a great ball,” Stoops said. “You can tell he has a great understanding of their offense and where he wants to go with everything. He does a great job.” The Sooners ended Texas Tech’s perfect season with a 38-30 win on Saturday. Now the Red Raiders (7-1, 4-1) have to regroup to play Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-1) at home on Saturday. The loser will fall two games behind in the loss column in the conference race. “If you drop one from here on out, you’ve got to get some help to win” a championship, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. Texas Tech gave up a season high for points to Oklahoma and Kliff Kingsbury said he expects his players to be highly motivated this week against the Cowboys, who’ve beaten the Red Raiders the last two seasons by a combined score of 125-27. “This is a group that will have a short-term memory,” Kingsbury said. If Texas joins the others in becoming bowl eligible this week, that would leave a group that includes Kansas State, TCU and West Virginia fighting for the conference’s final two bowl berths. TCU and West Virginia go head-tohead Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas. “You turn them into one-game seasons,” said TCU coach Gary Patterson. “You’ve got four left. You’ve got to win three. If you don’t do that, then you go home for Christmas.” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said he takes “full responsibility” for the lackluster play of his young offense. The Mountaineers (3-5, 1-4) have lost three straight and are trying to continue a streak of bowl berths in 11 straight seasons, while Patterson’s Horned Frogs (3-5, 1-4) have gone to a bowl in eight straight years. Kansas and Iowa State haven’t been eliminated from postseason contention, but they’ll need remarkable turnarounds for that to happen. For now, they’re playing spoiler roles. The Jayhawks (2-5, 0-4) have lost 25 consecutive league games, while Iowa State (1-6, 0-4) will be out of bowl contention with another loss. The Cyclones play at Kansas State (34, 1-3) on Saturday. Wildcats coach Bill Snyder said he conducts “State of the Union”-type dialogues with his players every Monday and lately that’s included the bowl scenario, but he said it’s best to quickly put the subject on the backburner. “It’s probably more damaging to go into the week of preparation for the upcoming ballgame with those kinds of thoughts in your mind,” Snyder said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
