Griffith charged with cruelty to animals Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Pomeroy woman is facing 24 criminal counts for allegedly committing crimes against horses in her care. Karen L. Griffith, of Pomeroy, will be arraigned in Meigs County Court on Thursday morning on 21 counts of cruelty to animals and three counts of obstructing official business. Nine of the counts of animal cruelty allege that Griffith did “keep animals other than cattle, poultry, or fowl, swine, sheep or goats, in an enclosure without wholesome exercise and change of air”. Twelve of the counts of animal cruelty allege that Griffith did “impound or confine an animal without supplying it during such confinement with a sufficient quantity of good wholesome food and water.” Both obstructing official business and cruelty to animals are second degree misdemeanors. The date of the violations are from Sept. 12 and 14, and were filed by Andy Baer, Humane Officer. According to Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams the Humane Society received a complaint about horses possible being under nourished. Williams added that there were a large number of stallions and mares together on another property. Williams said that they are working with Griffith’s attorney, John Lavelle, to resolve the care of the horses and that the county has not taken custody of the horses at this time. Griffith is scheduled to appear in Meigs County Court at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 21.

ATHENS — As of August, Ohio University’s Survivor Advocacy Program (OUSAP) has expanded to provide sexual assault survivor services for Meigs and Perry Counties. Thanks to a grant from the Office for Victims of Crime (VOCA) through the Ohio Attorney General’s office, the Ohio University Survivor Advocacy Program for Meigs and Perry Counties (OUSAPOMP) was created. OUSAP-OMP will work with county residents to create a safe community for victims and survivors of sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking through confidential advocacy and supportive services, education and resources. “Regardless of age or gender, OUSAP-OMP is available within Meigs and Perry counties to assist survivors of sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking,” said Kat Wargo, OUSAP-OMP Outreach Coordinator. “We help in accessing supportive services, in advocating for victim’s rights CINCINNATI (AP) — Just as Ohio is making progress in the battle against prescription drug abuse, it’s getting overrun by heroin, the attorney general said Monday. Mike DeWine said statistics compiled by his office show at least 11 Ohioans die each week from heroin overdoses, with the real total of heroin-related deaths likely to be even higher. “We have a heroin epidemic,” DeWine said in a news conference announcing formation of a Heroin Unit in his office. “There is a heroin problem in every single part of the state. If you don’t think you have a problem with heroin in your community, you’re probably wrong.” Ohio is experiencing a situation similar to what happened in neighboring Kentucky. Facing a pain pill abuse From Page 1 held Thursday, Nov. 14. The seminar was titled “A Safer Place: Identity Theft and Financial Security Solutions” and was held at the Middleport Church of Christ. “Banking on U” consists of eight seminars with different topics on personal finances. Edna Weber, Farmers Bank Vice-President and Branch Manager was the host for this seventh seminar of the series. She introduced the presenters who were Des Jeffers, MaryBeth Preston, and Brian Howard with Farmers Bank; and Jennifer Sheets and Michael Barr from Little Sheets and Barr Law Office. Each presenter gave tips and tricks on how to protect yourself against identity theft and different financial security solutions. Topics included types of identity theft, schemes for epidemic over the past decades, both states launched efforts to choke off supply and cut abuse. But the quick spread in the last years in the United States of cheap, potent heroin from Mexico and other countries has sent drug abuse and overdoses skyrocketing in the region. DeWine said heroin seizures by the Ohio State Highway Patrol are jumping, as are state crime lab cases involving heroin. He said there were than 600 heroin overdose deaths in the state in 2012, a figure that more than doubled since 2010. Comprehensive numbers are uncertain because of variations in responses from county coroners and in how they investigate and record heroin deaths, he added. He also said the number would be much higher if it included heroin-related deaths, such as those from crimes involving the drug. David Pepper, a Cincinnati attorney and Democrat who is running for attorney general in 2014, said the Republican incumbent reacted slowly to a problem that’s been spreading for years. “I certainly applaud the focus now on what has clearly been an epidemic around the state,” Pepper said, saying he would press for getting “at the heart of the problem” with evidence-based solutions for substance abuse and addiction services needs. Of counties reporting heroin overdoses for 2012, Cuyahoga County had the most with 161, followed by Montgomery County with 93, Franklin County with 73 and Hamilton County with 54, the attorney general’s office said.

Show �Tuesday, November 19, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Better forecasts, church services saved lives WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) — When a cluster of violent thunderstorms began marching across the Midwest, forecasters were able to draw a bright line across a map showing where the worst of the weather would go. Their uncannily accurate predictions, combined with television and radio warnings, text-message alerts and storm sirens, almost certainly saved lives when rare late-season tornadoes dropped out of a dark autumn sky. Although the storms howled across 12 states and flattened entire neighborhoods within a matter of minutes, the death toll stood at just eight. By Monday, another more prosaic reason for the relatively low death toll came to light: In the hardest-hit town, most families were in church. “I don’t think we had one church damaged,” said Gary Manier, mayor of Washington, Ill., a town of 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago. The tornado cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of Washington to the other and damaged or destroyed as many as 500 homes. Daniel Bennett was officiating Sunday service before 600 to 700 people when he heard a warning. Then another. And another. “I’d say probably two dozen phones started going off in the service, and everybody started looking down,” he said. What they saw was a text message that a twister was in the area. Bennett stopped the service and ushered everyone to a safe place until the threat passed. A day later, many in the community believed that the messages helped minimize the number of dead and injured. “That’s got to be connected,” Bennett said. “The ability to get instant information.” Another factor was forecasting, which has steadily improved with the arrival of faster, more powerful computers. Scientists are now better able to replicate atmospheric processes into mathematical equations. In the last decade alone, forecasters have doubled the number of days in advance that weather experts can anticipate major storms, said Bill Bunting of the National Weather Service. But Bunting, the forecast operations chief of the service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. said it was not until Saturday that the atmospheric instability that turns smaller storm system into larger, more menacing ones came into focus. Enter another key piece of the weather predicting equations: Observation. Information coming from weather stations, weather balloons, satellite imagery and radar told scientists that there was more than enough moisture — fuel for storms — making its way northeast from the Gulf of Mexico. Despite Sunday’s destruction and at least eight deaths, 2013 has been a relatively mild year for twisters in the U.S., with the number of twisters running at or near record lows. So far this year, there have been 886 preliminary reports of tornadoes, compared with about 1,400 preliminary reports usually received by the weather service office by mid-November. Similar slow years were 1987 and 1989. An outbreak like the one that developed Sunday usually happens about once every seven to 10 years, according to tornado experts at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center and National Severe Storm Lab in Norman, Okla. There were similar November outbreaks in 1992 and 2002, with the 1992 one being even bigger than this year’s, said top tornado researcher Harold Brooks at the storm lab. The outbreak occurred because of unusually warm moist air from Louisiana to Michigan that was then hit by an upper-level cold front. That crash of hot and cold, dry and wet, is what triggers tornadoes. Like most November storms, this one was high in wind shear and lower in moist energy. Wind shear is the difference between winds at high altitude and wind near the surface. Because it was high in wind shear, the storm system moved fast, like a speeding car, Brooks said. That meant the storm hit more places before it petered out, affecting more people, but it might have been slightly less damaging where it hit because it was moving so fast, he said. About 90 minutes after the tornado hit Washington, rain and high winds slammed into downtown Chicago, prompting officials at Soldier Field to evacuate the stands and order the Bears and Baltimore Ravens off the field. Fans were allowed back to their seats shortly after 2 p.m., and the game resumed after about a twohour delay. Ohioan who said he killed brothers gets life term OTTAWA, Ohio (AP) — An 18-year-old who admitted killing two teenage brothers inside an Ohio mobile home they shared with their mothers apologized in court Monday and said he often wishes he would have turned the gun on himself. A judge in northwest Ohio’s Putnam County sentenced Michael Fay to life in prison. He won’t be eligible for parole for 60 years. Fay pleaded guilty to two counts of aggra- vated murder last month. Fay shot 14-year-old Blaine Romes in the head May 9 while he was sleeping on a couch and then shot Blake Romes, 17, in his bedroom, after they had gotten into an argument about whether Fay’s older brother should move back into the mobile home, prosecutors said. Before he was sentenced, Fay said the two victims were like brothers to him. “I took away two boys that could have done great things for their community,” he said. Fay said he frequently has suicidal thoughts since the slayings. He shot the boys with a gun he got from a storage unit while both mothers were at work, said Todd Schroeder, an assistant county prosecutor. Fay had only moved into the trailer just a few weeks before the shootings. The victims’ mother said in a statement read in court that Fay had a lot of struggles in his life and wishes he would have received more help. “He took his best friends’ lives and has to live with that daily,” she said. Putnam County Common Pleas Judge Randall Basinger called the killings cold-blooded and said Fay took many steps to plan the killings and cover them up. Fay and the brothers were named in an Amber Alert in May after the Romes’ mother discov- ered a gun and blood inside a trailer home where they lived. Authorities at first believed that all three teens had been kidnapped after finding a bloody trail throughout the mobile home to the back door and tire tracks leading away from the trailer. But only the Romes brothers were found dead. Blaine was supposed to join his classmates on an eighth-grade class trip to Washington the morning he disappeared. His mother told a 911 dispatcher she left work because he was not answering his phone that morning. Police found Fay later that afternoon at a gas station in Columbus, about 120 miles southeast of the trailer park in Ottawa. He told officers that the Romes brothers were dead and pointed authorities to their bodies, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said. NASA launches robotic explorer to Mars Ohio Valley Forecast CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s newest robotic explorer, Maven, rocketed toward Mars on Monday on a quest to unravel the ancient mystery of the red planet’s radical climate change. The Maven spacecraft is due at Mars next fall following a journey of more than 440 million miles. Scientists want to know why Mars went from being warm and wet during its first billion year to cold and dry today. The early Martian atmosphere was thick enough to hold water and possibly support microbial life. But much of that atmosphere may have been lost to space, eroded by the sun. Maven set off through a cloudy sky Monday afternoon in its effort to provide answers. An unmanned Atlas V rocket put the spacecraft on the proper course for Mars, and launch controllers applauded and shook hands over the success. An estimated 10,000 NASA guests gathered for the launch, the most exciting one of the year from Cape Canaveral. The University of Colorado at Boulder, which is leading the Maven effort, was represented by a couple thousand people. “We’re just excited right now,” said the university’s Bruce Jakosky, principal scientist for Maven, “and hoping for the best.” To help solve this environmental puzzle at the neighboring planet, Maven will spend an entire Earth year measuring atmospheric gases once it reaches Mars on Sept. 22, 2014. This is NASA’s 21st mission to Mars since the 1960s. But it’s the first one devoted to studying the Martian upper atmosphere. The mission costs $671 million. Maven — short for Mars At- mosphere and Volatile Evolution, with a capital “N” in EvolutioN — bears eight science instruments. The spacecraft, at 5,410 pounds, weighs as much as an SUV. From solar wingtip to wingtip, it stretches 37.5 feet, about the length of a school bus. A question underlying all of NASA’s Mars missions to date is whether life could have started on what now seems to be a barren world. “We don’t have that answer yet, and that’s all part of our quest for trying to answer, ‘Are we alone in the universe?’ in a much broader sense,” said John Grunsfeld, NASA’s science mission director. Unlike the 2011-launched Curiosity rover, Maven will conduct its experiments from orbit around Mars. Maven will dip as low as 78 miles above the Martian surface, sampling the atmosphere. The lopsided orbit will stretch as high as 3,864 miles. Curiosity’s odometer reads 2.6 miles after more than a year of roving the red planet. An astronaut could accomplish that distance in about a day on the Martian surface, Grunsfeld noted. Grunsfeld, a former astronaut, said considerable technology is needed, however, before humans can fly to Mars in the 2030s, NASA’s ultimate objective. Mars remains an intimidating target even for robotic craft, more than 50 years after the world’s first shot at the red planet. Fourteen of NASA’s previous 20 missions to Mars have succeeded, beginning with the 1964-launched Mariner 4, a Martian flyby. The U.S. hasn’t logged a Mars failure, in fact, since the late 1990s. That’s a U.S. success rate of 70 percent. No other country comes close. Russia has a poor track record involving Mars, despite repeated attempts dating to 1960. India became the newest entry to the Martian market two weeks ago with its first launch to Mars. If all goes well, Maven will cruise past India’s Mars voyager, called Mangalyaan, or “Mars craft” in Hindi. Maven should beat Mangalyaan to Mars by two days next September, said NASA project manager David Mitchell. “It’s kind of a neat race, and we wish them all the best,” Mitchell said. Earth and Mars line up properly for a Mars flight every two years, occasionally resulting in just this sort of traffic jam. The two planets are constantly on the move, thus the 440 million-mile-plus chase by Maven to Mars over the next 10 months. Maven’s science instruments will be turned on in the next few weeks. The University of Colorado’s ultraviolet spectrograph will try to observe Comet ISON, now visible and brightening in the night sky as it speeds toward the sun. ISON will zip within 730,000 miles of the sun on Thanksgiving Day. Astronomers are uncertain whether the comet will survive that blisteringly close encounter. Comets have many of the same gases as the Martian atmosphere, observed the chief scientist for Maven’s ultraviolet instrument, Nick Schneider. “What an ideal opportunity for us to try out our instrument and do some good science along the way,” Schneider said. DA: Man charged in NC fair injuries cooperating RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A thrill ride operator is cooperating with investigators probing a mishap at the North Carolina State Fair that left several people hurt, authorities said Monday. A judge reduced Timothy Dwayne Tutterow’s bond from $225,000 to $100,000 at the request of Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby, who said the 46-year-old “has been cooperative and helpful with the investigation.” “We’ve sat down and talked to him,” Willoughby told the judge. Tutterrow, of Quitman, Ga., has been in jail since his Oct. 26 arrest. He was operating the Vortex ride last month when it suddenly spun into motion as people were trying to get out, flinging several patrons through the air and seriously injuring three people. Willoughby said one of those injured remains hospitalized “in very serious condition,” nearly a month after the accident. The two others have been released, including a 14-year-old whose name and gender have not been disclosed. Tutterrow and ride owner Joshua Gene Macaroni, 32, are each charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault on a juvenile with a deadly weapon. Macaroni, also from Quitman, was not pres- ent when the injuries occurred. He is free on $225,000 bond and was not required to appear in court Monday. Wake County Sheriff’s investigators have said the ride was tampered with to bypass critical safety equipment, but authorities have not yet disclosed any details of what roles they believe Tutterrow and Macaroni played in the mishap. Willoughby again declined to speak further about the case Monday, including just what assistance Tutterrow has provided. He was seen visiting the ride with detectives after the fair ended, appearing to show them how the machine worked. Tutterrow’s lawyer, Roger Smith Jr., says his client would never have intentionally harmed anyone but has declined to discuss details of the case. “Every time I go to see him over at the detention center, his first concern is only about the families that were injured on the ride,” Smith said. Macaroni’s lawyer, Dan Boyce, says the ride owner plans to plead not guilty and expressed confusion as to why his client is charged. As a condition of their bonds, Tutterrow and Macaroni are required to have no contact with one another pending trial. The next court hearing in the case is set for Dec. 18.

Terence Chea The Associated Press CARMICHAEL, Calif. — The doctor isn’t in, but he can still see you now. Remote presence robots are allowing physicians to “beam” themselves into hospitals to diagnose patients and offer medical advice during emergencies. A growing number of hospitals in California and other states are using telepresence robots to expand access to medical specialists, especially in rural areas where there’s a shortage of doctors. These mobile video-conferencing machines move on wheels and typically stand about 5 feet, with a large screen that projects a doctor’s face. They feature cameras, microphones and speakers that allow physicians and patients to see and talk to each other. Dignity Health, which runs Arizona, California and Nevada hospitals, began using the telemedicine machines five years ago to diagnose patients suspected of suffering strokes — when every minute is crucial to prevent serious brain damage. The San Francisco-based health care provider now uses the telemedicine robots in emergency rooms and intensive-care units at about 20 California hospitals, giving them access to specialists in areas such as neurology, cardiology, neonatology, pediatrics and mental health. “Regardless of where the patient is located, we can be at their bedside in several minutes,” said Dr. Alan Shatzel, medical director of the Mercy Telehealth Network. “Literally, we compress time and space with this technology. No longer does distance affect a person’s ability to access the best care possible.” Dignity Health is one of several hospital chains that recently began using RP-VITA, which was jointly developed by InTouch Health and iRobot Corp. It’s approved for hospital use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “Hospitals are now using this type of technology in order to leverage the specialists that they have even better and more effi- ciently,” said Dr. Yulun Wang, CEO of Santa Barbara-based InTouch Health. Nearly 1,000 hospitals in the U.S. and abroad have installed InTouch telemedicine devices, including about 50 RP-VITA robots launched in May, according to company officials. The company rents out the RP-VITA for $5,000 per month. When a doctor is needed at a remote hospital location, he can log into the RP-VITA on-site by using a computer, laptop or iPad. The robot has an auto-drive function that allows it to navigate its way to the patient’s room, using sensors to avoid bumping into things or people. Once inside the hospital room, the doctor can see, hear and speak to the patient, and have access to clinical data and medical images. The physician can’t touch the patient, but there is always a nurse or medical assistant on-site to assist. On a recent morning, Dr. Asad Chaudhary, a stroke specialist at Dignity Health, beamed into a robot at the neuro-intensive care unit at Mercy San Juan Medical Center in Carmichael to evaluate Linda Frisk, a patient who recently had a stroke. With his face projected on the robot screen, Chaudhary asked Frisk to smile, open and close her eyes, make a fist and lift her arms and legs — common prompts to test a patient’s neurological functioning. “If you develop any weakness, any numbness, any problem with your speech or anything else, let us know right away,” Chaudhary told Frisk before the robot turned around and left the room. “It’s just like being with the patient in the room,” Chaudhary said. “Of course, nothing can replace seeing these patients in person, but it’s the next best thing.” Frisk, 60, who was flown into the hospital for treatment, said she was surprised when she first saw the robot, but quickly got used to the doctor’s virtual presence. “You feel like he was right there,” said Frisk, who lives near Merced. “Although I am a little spoiled and like to see him in person.” Obama health care woes become credibility fight Julie Pace AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON — Throughout President Barack Obama’s first four years in office, he prided himself on his ability to bounce back when much of Washington thought his presidency was in peril. But the political challenge posed by Obama’s disastrous health care rollout is far greater than those he overcame during the nasty debt ceiling fight with Republicans, his stumbling campaign debate in 2012 or even the painful recession. This time, the president is fighting to regain trust and credibility with the American people. Those are the same qualities that helped keep him afloat during those earlier battles. “It’s legitimate for them to expect me to have to win back some credibility on this health care law in particular and on a whole range of these issues in general,” Obama said during a news conference last week that turned into an extensive mea culpa for the health care failures consuming the White House. As bad as things are for Obama, they may be worse for many members of Congress. Democrats in both the House and Senate worry the health care problems could dim their re-election chances next year. Republicans are saddled with historically low approval ratings and an internal debate over the direction of their party, though the heath law woes have proved a lifeline following the GOP’s much-criticized handling of the government shutdown. With Republicans sensing an opportunity in Obama’s free fall, the president is sure to face a struggle in getting their support, The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Without success on other fronts to counteract the health care failures, Obama will have fewer chances to change the public’s view that Washington, and the president himself, are ineffective. “We appear to be stuck, whatever direction we look,” William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said about Washington’s political landscape. Obama’s health care calamity began with the flood of computer problems that crippled HealthCare.gov, the website that had been billed as a quick and easy way for people to purchase insurance. Those troubles were compounded when at least 4.2 million people started receiving cancellation letters from their insurance companies despite Obama’s repeated 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. assurances that anyone who liked his or her insurance plan could keep it. The widespread problems have spurred questions about the normally cool and confident president’s management style and competence. Why was the White House so poorly prepared for the long-anticipated rollout of Obama’s major legislative achievement? Why did the president seem personally unaware of the extent of the problems until they became publicly known? The troubles have also shaken Obama’s allies. “The rollout of the website, that’s terrible. But the fact is, that will be fixed,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. For the public, the health care failures are changing how they view the president.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is pushing to overcome obstacles to closing the Guantanamo Bay prison, setting the White House on a collision course with Congress in its bid to loosen restrictions for moving out detainees. Administration officials say a Senate defense policy bill coming up for debate within days would allow them to move out prisoners who have long been cleared for transfer overseas but are still held, in part because of a complicated Pentagon certification process. The bill would ease those restrictions and lift a ban on bringing suspected terrorist prisoners from Guantanamo to the United States for detention, trial or emergency medical treatment. Obama has wanted to close Guantanamo since coming to office, but restrictions imposed by Congress have slowed movement out of the prison to a virtual standstill. The White House effort to lighten those barriers faces dogged resistance, with opponents pointing out that some former detainees have joined terrorist efforts after being released from the remote U.S. naval prison in Cuba. “Why would you want to reduce the standard?” asked Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who along with Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., is working on amendments to preserve the current high bar for transfers. Even if the Senate passes the White House-backed legislation, the House earlier this year approved a measure that further restricts transfers, including an outright ban on sending detainees to Yemen. Yemen is a particular challenge since more than half of the 164 detainees are from there. It’s also home to the world’s most active alQaida branch. Obama himself imposed a ban on Yemeni transfers from Guantanamo after a Nigerian man attempted to blow up a U.S.-bound flight on Christmas 2009 with explosives hidden in his underwear on instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen. But Obama lifted that moratorium in his speech on May 23 at National Defense University in which he said Guantanamo “has become a symbol around the world for an America that flouts the rule of law.” “I transferred 67 detainees to other countries before Congress imposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from either transferring detainees to other countries or imprisoning them here in the United States. These restrictions make no sense,” Obama said. He has vowed to close the prison. “There is no justification beyond politics for Congress to prevent us from closing a facility that should never have been opened,” Obama said. Purely from an economic point of view, the administration says Guantanamo is too costly. Defense Secre- tary Chuck Hagel told Congress that annual spending on Guantanamo was $454 million — or about $2.7 million per detainee. Obama has not said much publicly about Guantanamo in the nearly six months since the speech, but administration officials say he presses Hagel and Secretary of State John Kerry on the matter every week. Obama also has new special envoys for Guantanamo closure at the State Department and Pentagon working full-time on the matter. “Our marching orders are very clear from the president, and in terms of what he wants to do, and that’s to close the facility,” said envoy Clifford Sloan at the State Department. Sloan said achieving that goal requires three steps — transferring out those who have been approved, prosecuting others and making a plan for the remaining detainees accused of participating in dangerous plots who cannot be prosecuted because the evidence against them is inadmissible in a court of law. That’s a tall order on a three-year clock, but Sloan vowed, “Step by step, we will get there, and we will close it.” Sloan has been holding meetings across Capitol Hill to push for more flexibility, while Lisa Monaco, Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser in the White House, has been calling moderate senators to encourage them to back the Senate bill. Toronto council poised to strip mayor of powers TORONTO (AP) — Beset by scandal, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford faced another likely setback Monday as the City Council took up a motion to snatch away many of his remaining powers in a heated council meeting where he knocked over a woman councilor. Ford called the effort a “coup d’etat” and challenged the council to call snap elections. The debate on the motion became heated after Ford paced around the council chamber and traded barbs with members of the public. The speaker asked security to clear the chamber and a recess was called. Members of the public chanted “Shame! Shame!” at the mayor. Ford himself charged at the gallery at one point and knocked over Councilor Pam McConnell before picking her back up. Another councilor asked Ford to apologize. Ford said he was rushing to the defense of his brother, city councilor Doug Ford. “I picked her up,” Rob Ford said. “I ran around because I thought my brother was getting into an altercation.” Under the motion, already endorsed by a majority of council members, Ford would have his office budget cut by 60 percent and his mayoral staff would be allowed to join the deputy mayor. Ford would effectively have no legislative power as he would no longer chair the executive committee. The motion was revised from a tougher version to ward off potential legal challenges. Ford would retain his title and ability to represent Toronto at official functions. The city’s lawyer said the proposal does not render Ford “mayor in name only.” The council does not have the power to remove Ford from office, barring a criminal conviction. It is pursuing the strongest recourse avail- able after recent revelations that Ford smoked crack cocaine and his repeated outbursts of erratic behavior. “Mayor Ford has had many choices … would he change his behavior? Would he step aside and seek help? …The mayor unfortunately has chosen the path of denial,” Councilor John Filion said. “Now it’s time to take away the keys. … The new allegations pile up faster than the old ones can be dealt with. If many Torontonians were initially fascinated by the drama, they are now fed up with it. They want it to end.” Far from being chastened, Ford has vowed to take the council to court and insists he will seek re-election next year. “It’s a coup d’etat — that’s all this is,” Ford said as he arrived at City Hall on Monday morning. He earlier claimed on a radio station that councilors were against his agenda TUESDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News NBC Nightly News WTAP News NBC Nightly at Six News ABC 6 News ABC World at 6 News Global 3000 Nightly Business Report Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening HD at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 to save taxpayers’ money. “If they want me out, they should just call a snap election,” Ford told radio station AM640. Councilor Denzil MinnanWong, a former Ford ally, said it’s about his conduct. “This about embarrassing the city, his involvement with gangs, his involvement with crack cocaine this about his admission that he gets behind the wheel while drinking,” Minnan-Wong said. “He’s the worst spokesman for the city of Toronto right now.” On Sunday, Ford embraced the spotlight, giving an interview to Fox News and showing up at a Toronto Argonauts game even though the commissioner of the Canadian Football League had suggested that he not attend. He and his brother are set to debut a current events television show Monday night called “Ford Nation” for the Sun News Network. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Wahama rallies past Clay-Battelle, 49-27 Gary Clark Special to OVP POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Eighth ranked Wahama certainly made a gigantic bid to win a 2013 Oscar for best performance Saturday Night at Point Pleasant High School for its dramatic rendition of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The White Falcons played the role of Dr. Jekyll during the first half of its opening round playoff game with Clay-Battelle by rushing for only 53 yards before assuming the role of Mr. Hyde during second half action with Wahama rushing for 348 yards over the final two quarters to advance to quarterfinal round action following a 49-27 win over ninth rated Clay-Battelle. Coach Dave Barr’s gridders exploded for 35 points in the final period to turn a 19-14 lead into the 49-27 victory before a large turnout of White Falcon followers. Senior Kane Roush emerged as the star of the postseason outing with 195 yards on the ground and four touchdowns on the night but the Falcons All-Time career leader in scoring and rushing had plenty of co-stars in the exiting victory.

RedStorm women take Bevo Francis tourney crown Randy Payton URG Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Brooke Marcum recorded her second straight double-double and Brianna Thomas filled up the stat sheet in just about every category, as the University of Rio Grande women’s basketball team captured their first Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament Championship since the 2010-2011 season with a 81-73 victory over West Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon in Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm (5-0) continued to march toward the best start since the aforementioned season, as they were battle-tested throughout and found themselves trailing - albeit early in the first half - for the first time this season. “After losing in the first round of the tournament last year, I’m excited and happy for a win,” Rio Grande head coach David Smalley said. “I was anxious to see how we would handle the pressure down the stretch and, even though we never really were down, I thought we held our composure when facing foul trouble to some of our key players. We didn’t play as well as we’re capable of playing, but we played well enough to get the victory.” Marcum, a freshman from Vinton, Ohio, followed up her careernight of 18 points and 10 rebounds with a 13-points and 10-rebounds outing, earning her All-Tournament team honors. Thomas, a junior from Maplewood, N.J., continues to blossom in her first season at Rio Grande and kept statisticians busy with a 15-point, seven-rebound, five-assist and four-steal afternoon en route to earning tournament MVP honors. West Virginia Tech (1-5) fought the RedStorm virtually point for point until an 18-18 tie with seven minutes in the first half was extinguished with a 20-8 Rio Grande run to end the half. Although the RedStorm enjoyed its largest lead of 20 points midway through the second half, the Golden Bears would continue to battle and pulled the game as close as six points but would be unable to overcome the deficit.

Rio Grande suffered its first loss in five outings, dating back to the final two games of the 2012-13 season. “We had too many breakdowns, particularly in the first half,” French said.

That’s where we lost the game.” CCU did, in fact, shoot 69 percent from the field (20-for-29) in the first half to open up a 51-36 halftime cushion.

Young leads Rio men to easy win Randy Payton RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Bilal Young scored 20 points and pulled down 12 rebounds to lead the University of Rio Grande in a 95-77 win over the University of Cincinnati-Clermont, Friday night, in the men’s division of the Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm improved to 3-0 with the victory and advanced to Saturday’s 5 p.m. title game against Cincinnati Christian University. The Eagles rolled to a 111-73 win over Ohio UniversityChillicothe in Friday’s first men’s semifinal. Young, a freshman forward from Cleveland, Ohio, scored nine points in the opening half and added 11 more after the break. Seven of his 12 points also came following the intermission. Rio Grande also got a career-high 16 points from junior center Sterling Smoak (San Antonio, TX) to go along with 14 points from junior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) and a career-high 13 points from senior guard Ricky Tisdale (Bolivar, TN). Young also had four as- sists to share game-high honors with senior teammate Jermaine Warmack (Orange, NJ). UC-Clermont (1-2) raced to a 6-1 lead inside the game’s first 90 seconds, but the RedStorm responded with an 11-0 run to take a lead they would never relinquish. Rio pushed its first half cushion to as many 21 points, 35-14, following a threepointer by Legg with 6:13 left before the intermission, before settling for a 15-point lead, 48-33, at the break. The Cougars got no closer the rest of the way. Rio’s biggest lead of the night was 35 points and came with 8:22 left in the contest when a bucket by Young made it 80-45. The RedStorm shot 52.2 percent for the game (35-for67) and outrebounded their guests, 54-35. UC-Clermont hit 29 of its 71 shots overall (40.8%) and finished 10-for-27 from threepoint range (37.0%). Kendall Beamon and J’Ron Anderson had 16 points apiece to lead the Cougars in a losing cause, while Talmadge Bell and Devin Willis added 11 points each. Nick Jackson yanked down a team-high six rebounds. Rio Wahama From Page 6 From Page 6 Rio Grande goalkeeper Jon Dodson (Tiffin, OH). That would be all that Dodson would allow for the rest of the night, though, as a second Rodriguez goal in the 58th minute and an insurance goal by Viera, a senior midfielder from Montevideo, Uruguay, would tally the end result. Rio Grande owned the shot advantage by a count of 14-6, with a shots on goal edge of 7-1. Dodson did not record a save for the RedStorm despite playing the full 90 minutes, while Hamilton saved four Rio Grande shots for CU and allowed the three goals. The RedStorm will now wait until November 23rd to play their opening round game of the national tournament, which will be a home contest in the friendly confines of Evan E. Davis Field. Both the opponent and time of the match will be announced on Monday afternoon. Colton Neal, Hunter Bradley and Wyatt Zuspan joined Roush in the spotlight as the Bend Area gridders did an about-face in achieving the post-season victory. Neal picked up 93 yards on the ground and delivered what might have been the spark that Wahama was waiting for with a fourth quarter, 49 yard run, to set up the goahead score while Bradley tossed a pair of touchdown passes after connecting on seven of nine aerials for 78 yards. Zuspan added a game clinching 46 yard touchdown run and also came up with a five yard TD reception. However, as efficient as the senior quartet played, the real heroic effort may well have been the second half performance of the Bend Area teams’ interior line on both sides of the ball. Seniors Tyler Nutter, Wesley Harrison, Lane Sparks, and Josh Haddox, along with junior Brent Larck and sophomores Jesse Hesson and Clayton Sines, kept battling the huge CeeBee front line that featured three players in the range of 300 pounds. That continued struggle swung into the Falcons favor with the end result being the key factor that was mainly responsible for the gigantic turnaround from the games’ first 24 minutes to the final two quarters. Despite experiencing extremely more difficulty than they’re accustomed to Wahama pulled away from the talented Clay-Battelle team in the final quarter with a rash of big play possessions. The White Falcons scored seven touchdowns in the playoff encounter with five of those scores coming from beyond 25 yards. The win increased the White Falcons record to 10-1 on the season and marked the fourth consecutive year the Bend Area team has put together a 10 win season. The playoff triumph enables Wahama to advance to quarterfinal round action later this week against last seasons’ championship game op- URG Sports Information Tourney From Page 6 Tournament honors was freshman Alexis Payne (Deep Water, WV), who scored a career-high 13 points in the contest. Sophomore Sarah Bonar (Hartford, OH) would also crack the double-digit scoring column with 11 points and six rebounds. West Virginia Tech was led on the night by Nia Nolan, who netted game-high 31 points grabbed eight rebounds to earn All-Tournament honors. Cheyanna Lusk was the only other Golden Bear to reach double figures with 14 and was also named to the All-Tournament team. Rio Grande will return to action at 6 p.m. on Tuesday night in Newt Oliver Arena when they play host to West Virginia State. The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Rio Grande led throughout the game’s first four minutes, but a three-pointer by the Eagles’ Michael Hill forged an 8-8 tie with 15:52 left in the first half and another jumper by Hill just under a minute later gave CCU a lead it would never relinquish. But that’s not to say that the RedStorm went away quietly. In fact, they were anything but quiet. Rio opened the second half on a 14-4 to slice the deficit to five and continued to chip away until drawing within two, 73-71, following a bucket by sophomore forward Phillip Hertz (Rungsted Kyst, Denmark) with 3:27. However, that’s as close as the RedStorm would get. Cincinnati Christian responded with six straight points to push the lead back to eight, 79-71, with 1:03 left and led by no less than five the rest of the way, hitting 10 of their 14 free throw tries over the final 63 seconds to ice the win. “I’m proud of how we fought back, especially given that we were short-handed, but we never should’ve put ourselves in that position. It should’ve been a oneor two-possession game all night long,” French said. “They played extremely well and we broke down defensively early on, but we gave ourselves a chance. We just couldn’t finish it.” Hill poured in a game-high 30 points to lead the Eagles in a winning effort, while Kenny Gaynor and Nick Seibert added 14 points each. D.J. McCommons finished with 11 points and seven assists, while Mitch McLeish had a gamehigh 12 rebounds. Hertz led Rio Grande with 21 points - all in the second half while junior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) and senior guard Ricky Tisdale (Bolivar, TN) netted 13 points each and junior guard Travis Elliott (Ironton, OH) finished with 12 points. Cincinnati Christian finished with a .574 shooting percentage for the game (31-for-54), while the RedStorm shot 37.8 percent (28-for-74) and were outrebounded 42-35. Gaynor and Hill were all-tournament picks for CCU, while Hertz and Legg earned the honor for Rio. Rio Grande returns to action on Thursday night when it hosts Cumberland University in its Mid-South Conference opener. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. Redstorm women remain unbeaten Randy Payton URG Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Brooke Marcum netted a career-high in both points and rebounds with 18 and 10, respectively, as head coach David Smalley and the University of Rio Grande women’s basketball team were able to get an 82-55 victory over Ohio University-Lancaster on Friday night in the first round of the Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament at Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm (4-0) are off to their best start since the 2010-2011 season and will look to take the tournament title for the first time since that same season. Rio Grande has yet to trail in a game this season. Marcum, a freshman from Vinton, Ohio, was also the recipient of the first double-double of her career. Despite the peskiness of OU-Lancaster throughout the first half, Rio Grande was able to shake some early turnovers and end the half on an impressive 12-1 run to take a 47-23 lead into the locker room. The RedStorm would seemingly cruise in the second half, leading by as many as 34 points at one point, and eventually net a season-low 35 points in the half to secure the victory and move on to the championship game. Rio Grande finished the ponent, Madonna. WHS has now won eight straight post-season contests on the turf at PPHS but must travel to Weirton at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday to battle the Blue Dons for the opportunity to advance to semifinal round playoff action. “Our kids had a never say die attitude throughout the night, but we talked at halftime that the opportunity was there for us to show what we were made of,” a jubilant Barr said following his first playoff win as a head coach. “Clay-Battelle really got after us in the first half, but our kids answered the bell over and over again. “We know it’s going to take a great effort next week, but we are really looking forward to the opportunity,” Barr said. “This is what we play for, and you don’t face any bad teams in the playoffs. We’re going to face a fantastic football team next weekend and find out what we are truly made of.” Clay-Battelle concludes its 2013 grid campaign with an 8-2 slate but not before giving the White Falcons a real scare. Quarterback Tristan Haught, sophomore splitend/running back, Jarret Hockenberry and running back Trenten Dille enjoyed the fruits provided by the CeeBees huge interior line. Haught threw for 179 yards and a touchdown with Hockenberry providing the visitors with a pair of touchdowns. Dille ran for a team high 119 yards and another score for Clay-Battelle but it was not enough as the Bend Area team came through in the clutch to emerge with the grid win. Clay-Battelle gained an early 7-0 advantage with 6:35 to play in the opening quarter when Jacoby Steele carried the pigskin into the end zone from a yard out with Hunter Six kicking the point after. Wahama was held scoreless throughout the first stanza before evening the count at 7-7 with 9:04 remaining in the half.

She now has at least five assists in her first four career games with the RedStorm. ley tossed the WHS speedster a 25 yard touchdown pass. Bradley made it a 7-7 affair after booting the point after. Clay-Battelle regained its edge with just :24 remaining in the half with an 81 yard, 15 play drive. A 22 yard Haught pass to Hockenberry capped the series with the point after kick sailing wide leaving the CeeBees with a 13-7 halftime lead. Wahama managed to gain its first advantage of the night on the first play of the third quarter. After receiving the second half kickoff the Falcons set up their offense at the 34 yard line. Roush received the handoff from Bradley and began a trek down the left sideline and after breaking a couple of tackles raced 66 yards for the sixpointer. Bradley booted the point after to give the White Falcons a 14-13 edge. The score remained 14-13 throughout the remainder of the third canto and the stage was set for a wild finish over the final 12 minutes. Clay-Battelle drove 63 yards in 15 plays to retake the lead with 11:52 left to play after Hockenberry scooted into the end zone from two yards away. The twopoint conversion pass was unsuccessful and the CeeBees looked as if it would take home the playoff win with a 19-14 advantage. The next four minutes were simply unbelievable as Wahama initiated an incredible streak that resulted in four unanswered touchdowns. A 49 yard run by Colton Neal set the stage for a seven yard Roush run at the 11:16 mark was followed by another Roush touchdown on a 76 yard bolt with 8:32 to play. Brandon Stewart got into the scoring act with a 25 yard run with 7:23 remaining before Wyatt Zuspan completed the unanswered Falcon scoring assault by hauling in a five yard pass from Bradley with 5:04 to play.

Baines, who hails from East Cleveland, Ohio, recorded a team-high seven assists for the second time off the bench this season and made some dazzling no-look passes to entertain the crowd. OU-Lancaster (1-4) was led on the night by Paige Stought’s 14-point, six-rebound performance, while Sarah Miles recorded eight points and 10 rebounds in the loss. comfortable 42-19 advantage. In the final two minutes the two teams traded touchdowns with Trenten Dille going 16 yards for Clay-Battelle before Zuspan delivered a determined 46 yard run to conclude the incredible fourth period offensive demonstration by the White Falcons. Dille was successful on the twopoint conversion following the CeeBees final score with Bradley tacking on another PAT kick following Zuspan’s spirited run to make the final tally 49-27. Wahama finished the contest with 479 yards in total offense with 401 coming on the ground and another 78 through the air. The White Falcons totaled 16 first downs, lost one of two fumbles and were penalized four times for 35 yards. Clay-Battelle put together a ground attack the accumulated 219 yards on the ground and another 179 passing yards for an offensive total of 398 yards. The CeeBees tallied 23 first downs, had one pass intercepted and were penalized six times for 32 yards. Clay-Battelle ran exactly twice as many offensive plays than Wahama with the visitors running an unheard of 84 plays on the evening with Wahama needing just 42 snaps. “These seniors have made it to the state semis during their entire career, and another win makes them the first and only class to do it four times. I know they want to accomplish that,” Barr said. “It is a little sad that two great teams have to meet so early in the playoffs, but that’s the way it is. Hopefully, we can make the most of Saturday night and earn another spot in the semifinals.” “Madonna is going to play us as hard as they can. They haven’t forgotten last year or that we’ve been fortunate to beat them the last two times we’ve played them.

By Dave Green �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Rio volleyball ousted from MSC tourney Randy Payton URG Sports Information LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The seventh-seeded University of Rio Grande volleyball saw its season end on Friday afternoon in the quarterfinals of the Mid-South Conference tournament with a straight sets loss to second-seeded Georgetown College (25-21, 25-21, 25-16). The RedStorm, who finished their season with a 14-16 record, said goodybe to its lone senior Nicole Ogg (Albany, OH), who, in typical Ogg-fashion, dug out 15 opponent attacks to lead Rio Grande on the day. The contest was also the final one in the career of junior defensive specialist Jocelyn George (Cambridge, OH), who will not return next season. Rio Grande simply could not rid themselves of the errors on the afternoon (23 in total), as their best hitting percentage was a lowly .154 in the second set of the day which contributed to an overal percentage of .088 for the match. Conversely, Georgetown committed just 13 errors and hit .357, .325, and .194 in the three sets, respectively, for a .293 hitting percentage for the match. The RedStorm were led on the day by junior outside hitter Betsy Schramm (Marietta, OH) with 10 kills and freshman setter Kayla Briley’s (Marion, OH) 26 assists. Schramm ends the season with a team-high 306 kills, while Ogg and Briley finish with 424 digs and 934 assists, respectively. The 15th-ranked Tigers, who improve to 30-9 on the season, were led Allyson Wilbourn’s 10 kills, Lindsey Martindale’s 19 assists, and Courtney Grafton’s 14 digs. Submitted photo Georgetown will advance to face the third-seeded Ti- Rio Grande senior Nicole Ogg prepares to receive a serve as teammate Jocelyn George looks on during Friday’s quarterfinal gers of Campbellsville, which will take place on Saturday round match in the Mid-South Conference Tournament against Georgetown College at the MidAmerican Sports Center in Louisville, Ky. The Tigers defeated the RedStorm, 3-0, bringing an end to the careers of both Ogg and George. with first serve slated for noon. Ohio State’s Meyer says BCS ‘a flawed system’ Stephen M. Dowell | Orlando Sentinel | MCT Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, July 6, in Daytona Beach, Fla. Johnson on top again after wild NASCAR season HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson has a sixth NASCAR championship in hand and two legends within reach. Johnson staked his claim as one of the most dominant competitors Sunday by winning his sixth Sprint Cup title in eight years. He needs one more championship — he’s sure to be the early favorite in 2014 — to tie the NASCAR record held by Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt. Johnson barely got to complete his celebratory burnouts before the debate began: Where does he rank among NASCAR greats? This much is certain: At 38 years and 61 days old, Johnson is the youngest driver to win six NASCAR championships. Petty was 38 years and 144 days old when he won No. 6 in 1975. Earnhardt was 42 when he won his sixth in 1993. “We’ll see if I can get seven,” Johnson said. “Let’s wait until I hang up the helmet until we really start thinking about this.” That’s not really how it works, so here are a few more worthy comparisons for Johnson’s remarkable run. Tennis star Roger Federer won 16 Grand Slam titles from 2003-10. American swimmer Michael Phelps won 18 gold medals over three Olympics, including eight golds in eight events in Beijing in 2008. Professional golfer Tiger Woods won seven majors from 1999-2002, including four straight in 2000 and 2001. And race-car driver Michael Schumacher won five consecutive Formula 1 championships from 2000-04, winning 56 percent of his races in that span. The only other organizations to pull off six titles in eight years: —The New York Yankees did it twice, winning six of eight World Series titles between 1936 and 1943 and six of seven between 1947 and 1953. —The Montreal Canadiens hoisted the Stanley Cup six times in eight seasons between 1953 and 1960. —The Boston Celtics won eight consecutive NBA championships between 1959 and 1966. —UCLA won seven consecutive NCAA championships between 1967 and 1973. —The Chicago Bulls won six of eight NBA titles between 1991 and 1998. And now Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 48 team, led by Johnson and relentless crew chief Chad Knaus. “Every one of them is special,” team owner Rick Hendrick said. “It makes you hungry to continue to try to win more. … They got this championship mentality. “We’ll just keep digging and see if we can come back and be competitive. (If) luck will be on our side next year, we’ll be able to win another one.” Aside from Johnson’s on-track dominance, here are five things to know about NASCAR’s 2013 season: KENSETH CLOSE: Matt Kenseth’s first season at Joe Gibbs Racing was his best in seven years, a title-contending run that fell 19 points short of a championship. The 2003 Sprint Cup champion finished with a career-best seven victories this season and led the majority of the 10-race Chase. Maybe it’s his experience. Maybe it’s his comfort level in the redesigned cars. Or maybe it’s the move from Roush Fenway Racing to Gibbs. “I don’t know if I feel like I’m the best driver I’ve ever been in my career, but I really don’t feel like I’ve deteriorated,” Kenseth said. “It’s probably the best I’ve felt physically and mentally and emotionally in as many years as I can remember. It’s probably as confident as I’ve ever felt.” SEAT SHUFFLE: NASCAR’s annual seat shuffle has more moves than usual. Kevin Harvick, who finished third in points, is leaving Richard Childress Racing for Stewart-Haas Racing. He’ll be joined there by Kurt Busch, who is leaving Furniture Row Racing after one season. With Ryan Newman out at SHR, he’s moving to RCR. Martin Truex Jr. is moving from Michael Waltrip Racing to Furniture Row. Confused yet? Well, Jeff Burton also is done at Richard Childress, and although nothing has been officially announced, he appears headed to MWR for a part-time ride. Then there’s Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte and Juan Pablo Montoya — all of whom might be done behind a NASCAR wheel. Martin is stepping away. Labonte’s future is uncertain. And Montoya is returning to IndyCar, where he will drive for legendary owner Roger Penske. KEY INJURIES: Between Tony Stewart’s broken leg and Denny Hamlin’s broken vertebra, the season had two significant injuries. But those were just a glimpse of what happened across auto racing. Former NASCAR driver Jason Leffler, a two-time winner in the Nationwide Series, died in June after crashing in a sprint car event. Justin Wilson fractured his pelvis and bruised a lung in the IndyCar finale, and four-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti abruptly retired Thursday because of injuries sustained in a crash in Houston early last month. Franchitti fractured his spine, broke his right ankle and suffered a concussion. “The one other thing we’ve learned again and are reminded of in 2013 is that it’s a dangerous sport,” NASCAR President Mike Helton said Friday. “Our drivers are human.” CONFLICT, CHAOS & CHANGE: Those bickering disputes between Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin and Tony Stewart and Logano were minor compared to what happened during and after the Richmond race. It might go down as the most memorable moment of 2013. Clint Bowyer intentionally spun and triggered the biggest credibility crisis in NASCAR history. Bowyer was trying to help a teammate earn a valuable spot in NASCAR’s version of the playoffs, but the situation snowballed and led to a full-blown scandal. When the dust settled, chairman Brian France gathered all the competitors and tersely ordered them to give 100 percent at all times going forward. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Bowl Championship Series has been good to Urban Meyer. He led two Florida teams to national championships under the format in the 2006 and 2008 seasons. Each time the Gators lost a game in the regular season, but still played for the BCS title. But now that he’s the head coach at Ohio State, and his unbeaten team could be on its way to being boxed out of the national title race, he’s looking differently at the how major college football determines which teams play for the championship. “Without spending much time on it, because it’s not fair for our team to do that, I will say this: I think it’s a flawed system,” Meyer said Monday when asked about the BCS. There was a time, Meyer said, when the BCS filled a need in college football. After years of criticism and outright hatred of the BCS, it will fall by the wayside after this season and will be replaced by a four-team playoff in 2014. “When you logically think about it, what the BCS people have done, which obviously we’re all part of it, I think it was great for a while,” he said. “I think it took an imperfect system and did the best you can without a playoff.” Maybe it’s the passage of time, or maybe it’s Meyer’s changing perspective, but it’s clear he welcomes what comes next. So far, anyway. He recognizes that a playoff doesn’t mean the complaints and sniping will end. “There’s going to be controversy in playoffs, too,” he said. “There’s not a 64-team playoff. You’re going to have four (teams). What is that fifth team going to feel like?” That fifth team will feel left out — much like Meyer and his Buckeyes do these days. Ohio State (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) has won a nation’s best 22 games in a row but is ranked a distant No. 3 in the latest BCS rankings — far behind top dogs Alabama and Florida State and barely ahead of Baylor. If neither Alabama nor Florida State loses before the last BCS rankings on Dec. 8, the Buckeyes will be shut out. And with unbeaten Baylor breathing down the Buckeyes’ necks, there’s a distinct possibility that Ohio State might not even make it into the top two spots if a big upset takes place in front of them. It’s no mystery why the Buckeyes are on the outside looking in, even though they have not lost since Meyer left the ESPN broadcast booth to take over the troubled program in late 2011. The Buckeyes are third in both the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, which are factored into BCS system. The six computers which also are a part of the BCS have Ohio State a combined fifth — behind both Baylor (9-0) and one-loss Auburn (10-1). Strength of schedule hurts Ohio State since most observers believe the Big Ten is in the midst of a down cycle. On top of that, the Buckeyes have not played a team ranked in the AP top 15 in Meyer’s two seasons. The Buckeyes played three ranked teams while going 12-0 in 2012 — and none were inside the top 20 in the Associated Press poll (Michigan State and Michigan State were each No. 20 when they played the Buckeyes, Nebraska was No. 21). It also hurt that, due to violations committed when Jim Tressel was the head coach, the NCAA ruled they could not play in a bowl game and, therefore, were deprived of another quality opponent on a big stage. This year, Ohio State’s lone ranked opponents have been No. 23 Wisconsin and No. 16 Northwestern, relatively close games that the Buckeyes ended up winning 31-24 and 40-30. Wisconsin is up to No. 16, but Northwestern has fallen off. Top-ranked Alabama, meanwhile, has beaten three teams currently ranked, No. 9 Texas A&M, No. 18 LSU, No. 24 Mississippi, and has a date in the Iron Bowl against No. 6 Auburn coming up. Florida State has beaten No. 7 Clemson (No. 3 at the time), and Miami and Maryland were both ranked when they played the Seminoles, but aren’t any more. Many of the Buckeyes faithful think their team doesn’t get a fair shake for beating up on the Big Ten. But there is also a theory that maybe no one knows what to truly make of the Buckeyes because they’ve rarely been tested. Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman was asked about frustration with the BCS. “It was like last year, everybody said, ‘Is there frustration you can’t go to a bowl game?’ No, we knew we couldn’t go to a bowl game in January. We’ve known about the BCS for the last 15 years. We know this is the system we play in and these are the cards that are dealt. … “But it’s out of our control. So we can just go win games, play as well as we can and keep getting better every week.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
