Meigs EOC nearing completion Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — It has been a long time in the works, but the Meigs County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is close to being completed. Four and a half years after papers were submitted for a grant to build the EOC, county employees will soon be occupying the space. On Wednesday afternoon, Meigs County Emergency Management Agency Director Bob Byer gave a tour of the facility. The building is essentially divided into two areas, one for 911/EMS offices and one for Emergency Management Operations. Office space in the facility will include the 911 dispatch area complete with kitchenette, office space for Emergency Management Services, Emergency Management Agency office, an Emergency Operations executive room, and a work room for multiple agencies in the case of a disaster or emergency.

POINT PLEASANT — Anyone who has ever been pregnant probably understands the feeling of wanting it to be over toward the end, and for many mothers, elective births look very tempting — unfortunately, elective births can have adverse health effects. Pleasant Valley Hospital has been actively attempting to reduce the number of elective births for this reason and has been recognized by the West Virginia Perinatal Partnership (WVPP) for its participation in the First Baby Initiative. This month, members of the Obstetrics Department at Pleasant Valley Hospital, along with Michael Corbin, M.D., OB-GYN, were honored with an award at the Governor’s Mansion in Charleston. The award was presented for their efforts to improve the health of mothers and babies by reducing the rate of labor inductions, or elective births, before full term (39 weeks) for first-time mothers and 41 weeks for all mothers. Babies born before they are full term have added physical stresses, reduced ability to feed effectively and sometimes require neonatal intensive care to help breathe. Elective births are those where the mother’s labor has been induced when there is no medical condition to warrant the procedure.

EOC From Page A1 will allow for up to 12 agencies to work from the building in the case of a major event. Byer added that there will be 12 desks, each with a separate phone line, allowing for agencies such as the Red Cross, National Guard and other state officials to work in one secure location. There is also a sliding glass window between the main operations room and the executive operations room to allow for easy communication between the two groups. In the main operations room, there will also be a large electronic white board and flat screen monitors to be used during an emergency situation. The facility also includes a generator which can run on both natural gas or propane to insure that the EOC does not loose power during an emergency. Attached to the building is a 25 foot garage in which the EMA’s emergency response trailer and super duty truck will be housed. Security features were also a key to the design of the facility with a buzzer system and key cards as the only way to access part of the building. Byer stated that the building is designed for emergency operations, while keeping communications and administration in the same facility. Very little remains to be done to the building before it can be occupied. Wiring for internet and phone lines are to be completed, furniture delivered, a final clean up and final inspection. While there is space for the EMS offices, squads and sleeping quarters for EMS employees will remain at the current location on East Memorial Drive. Byer stated that in the future the hope is to bring a facility for those purposes to the medical campus. June 9, 2013, marked four years since the work began to acquire the new facility for the county. On March 8, 2012, the coun- ty was approved to receive a $700,000 grant for the construction of the EOC. The grant agreement was between the Port of Huntington Tri-State, Area Maritime Security Committee and Meigs County Emergency Services Agency. Grant funds are from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the West Virginia Public Port Authority. In May 2013, the Meigs County Commissioners opened bids for the project, with the contract awarded to Hoon Incorporated of Athens, Ohio, the low bidder on the project. RVC Architects of Athens handled the design work for the building which was constructed by main contractor Hoon Incorporated of Athens. Byer noted that many of the subcontractors used by Hoon Inc. were local Meigs County companies, meaning not only the building, but the work to create the building is benefiting the county. The 5,000-square-foot EOC has been constructed on property provided by the Community Improvement Corporation and located near the Hopewell Health Centers medical office on Pomeroy Pike. A standalone emergency room facility is also being constructed in the area with Holzer Health Systems operating the facility.

From: (Please Print) ___________________________________ Name_______________________________________________ Denise Queen, Obstetrics and Pediatrics Nurse manager, said elective births have significantly decreased since PVH began participating in the First Baby Initiative. Queen cautioned that when mothers get a due date, it could be two weeks ahead or behind which means an elective birth could be depriving a baby of much needed time to continue to develop. Labor inductions and Cesarean sections (C- sections) have increased dramatically in the United States over the past two decades. Between 1990 and 2010, the rate of labor induction has more than doubled. There is a concern that many of these inductions and C-sections are not medically necessary and may be resulting in avoidable negative birth outcomes for babies and mothers. In response to these facts, 14 West Virginia hospitals including PVH and Cabell Huntington Hos- Address ____________________________________________ City State OPEN HOUSE Zip _________ COUNTRY INN ADULT GROUP HOME Phone Number _______________________________________ __________In Honor A new assisted living facility for residents 55 and older, is hosting an open house located at 98 Setty Road Albany Ohio 45710 ______________In Memory Honoree’s Name _____________________________________ Dec 10th 1-8 Dec 14th 1-5 Please send this form and check made payable to the American Cancer Society to Bonnie McFarland, c/o Holtzer Health System, 100 Jackson Pike, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631.

The rate of non-medically elective births immediately began dropping and within 6 months had decreased by over 50 percent. The rate continued to decrease through 2010. According to PVH, “this demonstrates that we can make important progress toward better mother and baby care by working together as a Partnership.” “The Obstetrics staff at Pleasant Valley Hospital has a main concern of the welfare of the baby and mother. A lot of hard work has gone into the implementation of this initiative and we are proud to see positive outcomes,” Queen said. Corbin explained that waiting to give birth in otherwise healthy pregnancies means a lower risk of complications. “Everyone wants that perfect baby,” Corbin said. In short, good things come to those who wait. Waiting is also about putting the future of the patients, both mother and child, first — and after all, it is all about the patients. “We work hard here,” Corbin said of the staff at PVH. “We give personal care and work hard for our patients.” �Sunday, December 1, 2013 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� %3:EF2C:6D WHEELERSBURG — Jessie Irene Lemon Angell, of Wheelersburg, formerly of Gallipolis, passed away at Concord Nursing Home in Wheelersburg, Ohio on Friday, November 29, 2013, at the age of 94.

Much research documents the dangers of surrounding ourselves with so-called “yes men” who always concur. Workplace echo chambers stifle innovation and reify bad policy decisions. Disagreement stimulates creative thinking and prompts innovation. Yet, there is indeed a peaceful, even collaborative, way to disagree. And, I contend, that it never involves personal insults, ad hominem attacks, and strings of epithets and curse words. Unfortunately, it seems as though few in the U.S are taught how to disagree peacefully and constructively. Instead, if we read, hear or see something that bothers us, we tend to get all pissy about it and, rather than present our case, resort to the lowest blows we can. This behavior is, of course, modeled at nearly every turn. It is difficult to remember any politician in the recent past who has not decided that the way to offer a contrasting view is to rip the crap out of his or her opponent. As bad (sometimes worse) is media, where television pundits (and I note, both conservative and liberal) seem to love nothing more than to invite guests onto their shows to interrupt them, yell at them, berate them, and otherwise set them up to look foolish. In professional sports, having the best trash-talker on your team is often viewed as an asset. K-12 schools reinforce the normalcy of mean-spirited disagreement when they fail to hold accountable those who denigrate those with whom they disagree. Popular culture encourages the “othering” of the alleged opposition. For just one example, the t-shirt company David and Goliath offers a shirt that says, “Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them.” My recent experience authoring op-eds illustrates the issue perfectly. I authored a piece about the bureaucratic stifling of activism. In the op-ed, I encouraged folks who disagree with my positions to share their viewpoints, as dialogue and disagreement can lead to amazingly creative social change from the synthesis of the best parts of different arguments. While I did receive some pleasant feedback, I also received one very disturbing piece of hate email. Not only did this anonymous emailer attack me personally, using hateful slurs, but s/he also failed to see the point I was making, which was precisely that we should not all agree but should not stifle those who do not see things our way. I implore those who are reading this to understand what I am saying: I do not have all the answers. I never suggested I did. No one does. And I think it is amazing when people get worked up about an issue or a cause and take that passion to the streets, to the airwaves, to the print media and anywhere else they can find an audience. But please, do so in a peaceful, respectful manner. We really can learn from one another if we discuss and debate, rather than attack. �+?<+� �386/CM� 2L�LM� >/+-2/=� 38� >2/� �+<<C�%83@/<=3>C��/:+<>7/8>�90�#9ciology & Criminology and is syndi-+>/.�,C� /+-/&93-/L Radon – Is your home raising your lung cancer risk? Harold P. Wimmer, �+>398+6� </=3./8>�+8.���� American Lung Association Mention radon to most people, and you’ll get a blank stare. But mention lung cancer, and you’ve got their attention! Most people don’t know that exposure to radon, an invisible odorless gas, is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers. West Virginia is recognized as having a very high risk of radon, so we at the American Lung Association want you to know how to protect your family. A simple test in your home can tell you if you need to take steps to reduce the risk to yourself and your family. November, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, is a perfect time to learn more and test your home. Radon, a radioactive gas from the soil and rock beneath many homes, keeps itself well hidden. You can’t see it, smell it or taste it, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. are radon-related. November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, but anytime is the right time to find out if radon is a health threat in your home. Radon can build up in any house — old or new — and performing a radon test is the only way to find out if your home has unsafe levels. Homeowners can use do-it-yourself radon testing kits. To find out where to buy a kit, call 1-800-SOS RADON ( 1-800-767-7236 ), or visit the EPA website: www.epa.gov/radon. If you have high levels of radon, mitigation systems can be installed that effectively pull radon out of your home. If you’re building a new home, consider installing a simple, inexpensive ventilation system that can protect your family from radon gas. The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced that they will require testing for radon in any multi-family housing that receives HUD financing or refinancing. If high levels of radon are found, HUD will require that the building be repaired to reduce indoor radon levels. This is great news that will protect thousands from deadly radon exposure. But more needs to be done. The Lung Association is working to make sure that all homes get tested, and those that have high levels get fixed. We are working to make sure that new homes are built with these low-cost radon protection systems in place. Because we know all too well the cancer radon causes.

Pauline Jelinek $2/��==9-3+>/.� </== WASHINGTON — Warnings from defense officials and some experts are mounting and becoming more dire: The nation’s military is being hobbled by budget cuts. “You’d better hope we never have a war again,” the House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., said of the decline in what the military calls its readiness. So should Americans be worried? A look at what the Pentagon means by “ready” and where “Even those things stand: third of the total can be deployed, a third is prepared for deployment and a third is working to get ready. Analysts say a decade of massive spending increases have built a strong force superior to anything else out there. “We could certainly fight another war on the order of the first Gulf War (1991) without any problems; the Air Force could do air strikes in Syria,” said Barry M. Blechman of the Stimson Center think tank. “We wouldn’t want to get involved in another protracted war (like Iraq and Afghanistan), but in terms of the types of military operations we typically get involved in, who believe the we’re prepared for that.” situation is not yet dire say READINESS THE that eventually these budget It’s the armed PROBLEM forces’ ability to get cuts will catch up with the Even those the job done, and it’s who believe the based on the num- force.

They often occur in the wake of major disasters, like the recent tornadoes in the Midwest or the typhoon in the Philippines. Thieves prey on the goodwill of people who want to help disaster victims. Scammers may pose as representatives of charitable organizations in order to steal money or get private information to commit identity theft. The scams use varying tactics.

The IRS offers the following tips to help taxpayers who wish to donate to victims: Donate to qualified charities. Use the Exempt Organizations Select Check tool at IRS.gov to find qualified charities. Only donations to qualified organizations are tax-deductible.

Welcoming a new physician to our primary care team. Two in van killed in crash FREMONT, Ohio (AP) — A car sought by state troopers sped down the Ohio Turnpike at more than 125 mph before it struck a minivan and both vehicles burst into flames, killing two people in the van, the State Highway Patrol said Friday. Two troopers separately spotted the car but weren’t able to catch or keep up with it before the crash Thursday night near Fremont, about 40 miles southeast of Toledo, said Staff Lt. Anne Ralston, a patrol spokeswoman. Other drivers began calling dispatchers about the speeding, weaving vehicle just before 7 p.m., about 20 minutes before it crashed into the back of the minivan. The driver covered roughly 60 miles in that time and passed two troopers, each of whom tried to pull behind the westbound car but lost sight of it as it sped away, Ralston said. “Just because it was going so fast, we were never able to get into a position where we were actually engaged in a pursuit with it,” Ralston said. “We were simply trying to catch up and intercept this vehicle and get it stopped.” Dr. Shukla is a board-certified physician who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases.

Rio Grande, which completed a regular season sweep of the Bulldogs with the win, improved to 7-2 with the victory. Wilberforce slipped to 1-10 with the loss. The game was tied at 55-55 after a pair of free throws by the Bulldogs’ Chanel Davis with 9:00 remaining, but Rio went on a 24-5 scoring blitz over the next eight minutes to win going away. The RedStorm shot 51 percent from the floor in the second half and had three players finish in double figures. Sophomore forward Sarah Bonar (Hartford, OH) finished with a gamehigh 20 points, 14 of which came in the second half, while freshman forward Brooke Marcum (Vinton, OH) scored 10 of her 12 points after the break and junior guard Brianna Thomas (Maplewood, NJ) netted eight of her 11 points over the final 20 minutes. Marcum also finished with a team-high 10 rebounds, while Thomas also had a club-best five assists and four steals. Rio’s strong second half came after it shot just 28.6 percent from the field in the first half (10-for-35) and went scoreless for the game’s first 5:09. Wilberforce built a 10-0 lead out of the gate and, by the time Rio managed its first field goal at the 12:24 mark of the period, the Bulldogs enjoyed a 14-2 advantage. Wilberforce’s biggest lead of the night was 16 points, 20-4, after a bucket by Da’Sha’Nay Corley with 10:50 remaining before the intermission and the lead still stood at 12 points, 33-21, after a pair of Chanel Davis free throws with 2:47 left See WIN | B2 George Bridges | MCT Head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers watches his team against the Houston Texans in the first half of the Texans’ 17-10 victory on Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011, in Houston, Texas. Steelers face long road after loss to Ravens PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin’s not-so-nimble footwork provided a pretty good impersonation of his team’s decidedly graceless season during a 22-20 loss to Baltimore on Thursday night. Tomlin got caught looking at the scoreboard and walking a little too close to the field of play during a kickoff return by Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones in the third quarter. When Tomlin realized the streaking Jones— and Pittsburgh’s possible playoff hopes — were about to pass him by, Tomlin lamely and belatedly attempted to get out of the way. While the Tomlin tango might have prevented Jones from making it to the end zone, the damage was already done. The Ravens (6-6) used the great field position to kick a field goal as the defending Super Bowl champions made it back to .500 while Pittsburgh (5-7) saw its three-game winning streak and the momentum that came along with it disappear like so many Thanksgiving leftovers. “It was wrong and I take responsibility for it,” Tomlin said. The NFL will take a look at Tomlin’s inattentiveness during its usual game review sometime next week. Whether or not any action is taken, the moment crystallized a fall in which the Steelers haven’t realized they were in trouble until it was almost too late. Pittsburgh rallied from a 2-6 start to get into the thick of postseason contention in the mediocre AFC. A lifeless first half against the Ravens, however, looked an awful lot like the Steelers’ listless play during September and October. The defense failed to pick up a turnover or a sack. A botched field-goal attempt in the first half cost Pittsburgh a chance at three points it certainly could have used at the end. The offense moved steadily, but mostly just bit off yardage in small chunks. For all their missteps, however, the Steelers still had a chance to tie it after Jerricho Cotchery’s 1-yard touchdown pass with 1:03 remaining. Ben Roethlisberger’s back-shoulder fade to Emmanuel Sanders on the 2-point conversion attempt smacked off Sanders’ hands and hit the turf. Both quarterback and receiver took blame for the incompletion. Either way, when the Steelers failed to execute the ensuing onside kick, whatever wiggle room Pittsburgh had in making the playoffs disappeared. The Steelers likely need to win their final four games to have any shot of the wild card, starting on Dec. 8 against Miami. “We can’t worry about this game,” guard Ramon Foster said. “There’s really nothing negative to take out of it. We need to finish better, but … we needed to start a lot better. We put ourselves in a big hole. We’ll just go back to work and go from there.” It sounds similar to the rhetoric the Steelers repeated relentlessly during their lethargic opening eight games. Had they found a way to generate something before falling behind 13-0, things might have been different.

The Warren Girls basketball team forced 30 turnovers, while shooting 67 percent from the charity stripe Friday night, as the Lady Warriors took the 51-38 victory over host Gallia Academy in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League opener. The Blue Angels (1-1, 0-1 SEOAL) coughed up the ball 11 times in the opening stanza, allowing Warren (2-0, 1-0 SEOAL) to jump out to a 14-6 lead through one quarter. Warren opened the second period with a 7-0 run but GAHS answered with a 5-3 spurt. WHS scored six consecutive points to end the half with the 3011 lead. A slow paced third period ended with WHS increasing its lead to 41-17 with eight minutes to play. The Lady Warriors increased their lead by one in the first 1:30 of the fourth period but GAHS got its offense rolling with a 14-0 run. WHS ended the game with a 6-4 spurt and took the 51-38 victory. Micah Curfman led the Blue Angels with 18 points, including four triples.

Buckeyes roll past North Florida, 99-64 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — LaQuinton Ross broke out of a frigid shooting spell by scoring 17 points Friday night and No. 7 Ohio State rode a 19-point first-half run to a 9964 victory over North Florida. Amir Williams and Amedeo Della each hit career highs for the Buckeyes (6-0), with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Aaron Craft added 16 points, making his first 3-pointer of the season, while Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 10. Beau Beech and Dallas Moore each had 14 points and Charles McRoy 11 for North Florida (4-4), which fell to 0-16 against ranked teams and 0-6 against teams in the Top 10. It was the 100th collegiate win for Craft and Smith Jr., who reached that figure in 119 games — faster than any Ohio State player. Ross hit 6 of 9 shots from the field and 4 of 7 3-pointers after struggling all year to find his shot. He had a terrific run in the NCAA tournament a year ago, coming off the bench to give the Buckeyes instant offense on the way to the regional championship game. This year he was expected to replace departed Big Ten scoring leader Deshaun Thomas, but came in shooting just 22 percent from the field and averaging 6.2 points a game. Over the last the three games he was only 2 for 20 from the field including 1 for 8 behind the arc. But he came out cool and confident against the Ospreys, however. He hit all four shots from the field — including both 3-pointers — while picking up 10 points in the opening half as Ohio State built a 48-29 lead. The Buckeyes, who came in shooting 42 percent on the season, were hot from the outset. They made their first eight shots from the field and finished the half 19 of 27 for 70 percent. They finished 36 of 52 on field goals for 69 percent. North Florida hit its first three shots from the field to build a 6-5 lead, but then went scoreless for more than 6 minutes while the Buckeyes ran off 19 points in a row to take the lead for good. The Ospreys were 0 for 8 from the field with six turnovers, while over that same span Ohio State hit 7 of 8 shots from the field and had two turnovers. Craft had three layups, Williams and Smith Jr. each had five points and Ross hit a 3 in the spurt. North Florida came back to score 14 of the next 18 — Beech hit two 3s and Davenport added one — to cut the lead to 28-20. But with freshman Marc Loving scoring five points, Ross making a 3 and another perimeter jumper, and Craft scoring on a left-handed scoop shot while getting knocked to the floor, the Buckeyes pulled away again. Already up by 19 at the break, Ohio State put it out of reach by scoring 11 of the first 13 points in the second half to swell the lead to 59-31. Ross had four points in that early rally. It was the second meeting between the teams, with the Buckeyes winning 85-50 at home on Nov. 21, 2011. The game was the Ospreys’ 29th game over the last five years in they got a guarantee to provide a biggername home team’s opposition. In those games, UNF is 2-27 with the wins coming at Southern Mississippi (53-46) and at Wyoming (76-60). �&@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Page B2 LîSunday Times Sentinel Sunday, December 1, 2013 �C@H?Dî=@@<:?8î7@CîA=2J@RîAF=D6î282:?DEî 28F2CD CLEVELAND (AP) — Once stamped as meaningful for the Browns, Sunday’s home game with Jacksonville has lost its luster. Nearly every ounce of it. Consecutive losses to AFC North foes Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have done serious damage to Cleve- land’s slim playoff hopes, reducing what promised to be an important matchup — even a gimme win, and a chance to finally be relevant in December — into something far less significant for the Browns (4-7). Still, they’re not about to pack in their season with five games left. In a season of unexpected twists and turns, there’s time for a few more surprises. “You got to keep fighting,” cornerback Joe Haden said, “keep grinding.” While the Browns’ season appears to have ground to a halt, the Jaguars (2-9) have hit their stride.

After snapping an 11-game losing streak against Baltimore, Cleveland was suddenly in the playoff mix with a chance to make the postseason for the first time since 2002. But a funny thing happened on the way to respectability. Since opening a 13-0 lead two weeks ago in the first quarter against the Bengals, the Browns have been outscored 68-18. Last week’s loss to the dreaded Steelers was magnified by quarterback Jason Campbell suffering a concussion that will sideline him Sunday. Campbell’s injury has vaulted beleaguered QB Brandon Weeden back into the starting lineup for the third time. Browns fans can only hope three’s a charm for Weeden, who was booed by fans at home last week after replacing a woozy Campbell. Though benched and belittled, sometimes for things out of his control, Weeden wants to make the most of his latest chance. “Before I even throw a pass, we have a trick play and the trick play didn’t work and I have to throw it away and I still get booed,” he said. “You have to laugh it off, use it as ammo to go out and play well.” Here are five other things to watch Sunday as the Browns, who with a win can match last season’s total, try to get back into the playoff chase: SHORTS STORY: The trip will be a familiar one for Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts, a Cleveland native. Coming off an eightcatch game against Houston, Shorts is thrilled to have a chance to play in front of family and friends. %,&î)A@CEDî�C:67D Youth league basketball tournament The Middleport and Pomeroy youth leagues will be holding a basketball tournament at the Rutland Civic Center from Friday, Dec. 20, through Monday, Dec 23, and the tournament resumes on Thursday, Dec. 26, through Monday, Dec. 30, for boys and girls in grades 3-6.

TV14 (5:15) road this year, where Pittsburgh is just 2-5. At least the Steelers won’t have to travel much in their quest to avoid consecutive non-winning seasons for the first time since 1998-2000. Their only game away from Heinz Field in December is a trip to Green Bay the weekend before Christmas. Given the uncertain nature of the conference, the Steelers could be right there by Dec. 22 or pointing toward 2014. They have looked like one of the NFL’s better teams over the last month, thanks in part to the development of rookie running back Le’Veon Bell. Yet Bell’s status going forward remains unknown after he sustained a concussion following a vicious hit at the goal line on Pittsburgh’s final drive, when his helmet was knocked loose and his head slammed to the ground. Bell declined to speak Friday. Though he’ll have three extra days to recover before Pittsburgh faces the Dolphins, his immediate future, like his team’s, is murky at best. Not that the Steelers are inclined to feel sorry for themselves. The margin between themselves and the Ravens has been razor thin for the better part of the last decade. It was much the same on Thanksgiving night. A play here, a play there and Pittsburgh could be talking about finally getting to .500. Instead, the Steelers are trying to regroup one more time, knowing one more misstep and any outside hopes of playing into January are gone for good. “We’ve got to get back to it,” cornerback Ike Taylor said. “The season still isn’t over with. We still have to play football games. There’s no time to pout or whine. We just have to get ready for the next game.” Angels From Page B1 The GAHS rebounding attack was paced by Kassie Shriver with seven, followed by Curfman with six boards and Walker with five. Curfman paced the defense with seven steals, while Jalea Caldwell had three and Kassie Shriver had two. The Blue Angels pulled down 32 rebounds and shot 15-of-40 (37.5 percent). GAHS was 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) from three point range and 3-of-7 (42.9 percent) from the free throw line. Gallia Academy committed 30 total turnovers in the game, only one of which came in the fourth quarter. Victoria Buzzard led the Lady Warriors with 20 points, followed by Josey Riffle with 10 and Taylor Foy with six. Kendra Lynch and Sarah Proctor each had four points, Kate Ryan marked three, while Adrienne and Audrey Bowe each added two. Buzzard and Riffle each had seven rebounds to lead WHS, while Proctor led the defense with four steals. The Lady Warriors shot 17-of-43 (39.5 percent) from the field and 14-of-21 (66.7 percent) from the free throw line. Warren had 20 turnovers, and 27 rebounds, while shooting 3-of-9 (33.3 percent) from beyond the arc. GAHS will have its shot at revenge when it visits Warren on January 11th. �Sunday, December 1, 2013 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� � �î#6:8Dî�@F?EJî-:?E6Cî)4965F=6D

House Calls 304-675-1724 LOG HOME FOR SALE Jones steps sideways as Ravens march forward BALTIMORE (AP) — Neither Mike Tomlin nor the Pittsburgh Steelers could stand in the way of the Baltimore Ravens’ late-season playoff push. The defending Super Bowl champions are back at .500 and in position to reach the postseason for a sixth consecutive year after overcoming Tomlin’s sideline stroll and Pittsburgh’s frantic comeback bid in a 2220 victory on Thanksgiving night. Baltimore (6-6) has won two straight for the time since September and, at least until Sunday, owns the lead for the final AFC wild-card spot. Now the Ravens get an extra few days of rest, their reward for putting forth a solid effort Thursday and remaining relevant in the playoff hunt. “Obviously, if we would have lost we would have been out of it and playing a bunch of meaningless games,” said Torrey Smith, who had five catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. “But now it’s just like the playoffs. We win and we continue to give ourselves a chance.” Had Pittsburgh completed its comeback from a 13-point deficit and won the game, there would have been much more furor on their part regarding Tomlin’s sideline antics. The Steelers coach was watching Jacoby Jones return a kick on the stadium screen when he realized the action was coming his way. Tomlin sidestepped the charging Jones, who swerved to his right to avoid a potential collision. Jones’ jaunt ended soon thereafter at the Pittsburgh 27, but the controversy continued long after the game. “I promise you, I’m looking at him the whole time,” Jones said. “I’m like, ‘Does he know he’s on the field?’ I’m running, I’m looking at him, and as I get close I’m like, ‘Is he going to move?’ “I just weaved to get out of the way. It broke my stride a little bit, (but) I still shouldn’t have got caught. If I was him, I’d do the same thing.” During the closing seconds of the Super Bowl, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco suggested someone from the sideline make a tackle if it appeared the 49ers were going to go the distance. With a smirk, Flacco brought that up in the aftermath of Thursday’s game. “I took some flak for joking around in the Super Bowl and saying that maybe you should run onto the field and tackle somebody if this guy breaks it. That’s exactly what (Tomlin) just did,” Flacco said. “He was looking at the big screen the whole entire time. He knew where he was, and he knew where Jacoby was. He pulled my move. He did what I thought we should do.” Tomlin insisted it was an accident, and in the end it didn’t matter. The Ravens won and created some separation between themselves and the Steelers, who would have all but eliminated Baltimore with a victory for a sweep of the season series. “It’s pretty much the playoffs now,” guard Marshal Yanda said. “We have to keep grinding and keep fighting.

However tight a grip we have, I don’t know yet. But we’re alive and we get to play the last four of five at home.” The closing stretch is big for the Bengals, too. They came out of their bye week with a two-game lead in the AFC North with only five to go, three at home. Only one team left on the schedule currently has a winning record: Indianapolis, which has to play at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals’ first AFC North title since 2009 is right there for them, if they don’t blow it. “So for us, we’re in control of everything right now,” Dalton said. “So this is a big five games for us. It’s a big point in the season because this is when you want to be playing your best. I think that’s kind of what I’ve taken from the first two seasons being here. At this point in the season, it’s makeor-break time for a lot of teams and what’s going to happen going into the playoffs and stuff like that. Our goal is to be playing well. ����������!����������������� C lose to Home C atering & Bakery 740-992-7863 ���������������������� !������������������ ������� �������!��� ������������� ���������� �������� ������ ������� ����������!� Handling all your catering needs including: #� ������� ��������� #���������������� #� �"���� ������ #��������!� ������ Our goal is to win all five of these.” Here are five things to watch Sunday: WHICH DALTON WILL SHOW UP? The Bengals took control of the AFC North with a torrid October behind Dalton, who was the AFC’s offensive player of the month. He completed 68 percent of his passes and threw for 11 touchdowns in a threegame span, something no other Bengals quarterback has accomplished. He’s been way down in his last three games, completing only 53 percent with five touchdowns and eight interceptions, two of which were returned for TDs. The eight interceptions came during a span of nine quarters. “Turnovers are a concern,” offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. “They cost us big time against Miami, they cost us against Baltimore and could’ve cost us dearly against Cleveland. I don’t know many teams that are going to win games if you’re losing the turnover margin. That’s something we definitely have to address and take care of the #� ������� #�������!������� #��������������� #�������������� Call today for information on renting our room for that special occasion David Eulitt | Kansas City Star | MCT Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel (7) is sacked by Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins (97) and Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap (96) in the first quarter during NFL action on Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The Bengals won 28-6. ball a little bit better.” UNDER 300: Something’s got to give Sunday. The Bengals have allowed only one quarterback to throw for 300 yards this season, when Matthew Stafford passed for 357 yards in Cincinnati’s 27-24 win in Detroit. Rivers, by comparison, has thrown for more than 300 yards five times, including three 400-yard games. Cincinnati’s defense has had some impressive games, holding Aaron Rodgers to 244 yards; Tom Brady to 197, when his streak of consecutive games with a TD pass was snapped; and Joe Flacco to 140 yards, the lowest by any opposing quarterback this season. CORNERBACK CONUNDRUM: The Chargers said their cornerbacks were competing for jobs in the days leading up to the game. That revelation came after Derek Cox, one of the team’s big free-agent signings, was benched for the third time in four games after allowing one touchdown pass and another big play in the win at Kansas City. As with most personnel matters and injuries, McCoy was tight-lipped on how the competition was going. Regardless of the starters, the Chargers will be tested by A.J. Green, who’s caught 67 passes for 1,020 yards and six touchdowns. SLUGGISH STARTS: In their last three games, the Bengals got off to woeful starts on offense and wound up making furious comebacks that fell short twice. They fell behind 17-3 in the third quarter at Miami before going to overtime and losing 22-20. The following week, they trailed Baltimore 17-0 at halftime before going to overtime and losing 20-17. And they trailed Cleveland 13-0 after the first quarter before putting up a clubrecord 31 points in the second quarter for a 4120 win. The Bengals have played three OT games this season and gone 1-2. The NFL record for OT games in a season is five. HOME IS WHERE …: Much is being made of San Diego playing four of its last five at home. The Chargers are 2-2 so far this year at Qualcomm, where they were 3-5 last year. San Diego also will host the New York Giants, Oakland and Kansas City. The only trip left is to Denver on Dec. 12. 60468300 SAN DIEGO (AP) — So, after their riveting victory at Kansas City, do the San Diego Chargers have what it takes to reach the playoffs for the first time in four seasons? “We’re going to find out,” said Philip Rivers, whose 26-yard touchdown pass to Seyi Ajiritutu with 24 secods left Sunday gave the Chargers a 41-38 win that may have saved the season. Still, the Bolts are 5-6 and it’ll be a scramble for them to claim the AFC’s second wild-card spot. They play four of their final five games at home, starting Sunday against Andy Dalton and the AFC North-leading Cincinnati Bengals (7-4). The fans haven’t quite caught playoff fever. The game fell 5,300 tickets short of a sellout at Thursday’s deadline, making it the first NFL game blacked out this season. The thrilling win at Kansas City followed headscratching losses at Washington and Miami under rookie coach Mike McCoy. “We lost some tough ones, but we survived,” Rivers said. “However it sponsored by Tune in now through December 31 to hear a high quality mix of Christmas classics for all ages, including traditional and contemporary Christmas music. 60464469 Go to mydailytribue.com, mydailysentinel.com, or mydailyregister.com where you’ll find the MyOwn® Holiday Sound media player.

Delegates to this national event were selected earlier in the year based on their documented 4-H and community achievements. The purpose of the National 4-H Congress is to reward each delegates’ achievements; provide new and educational and cultural experiences; provide a forum for interaction and exchange of ideas among youth and adults; and encourage leaders of business, government, education, and public affairs to share in the development of youth. This year the theme of the congress is “Passport to Excellence”. More than 1,000 youth are expected to attend the National 4-H Congress in Atlanta. Only 28 youth in Ohio were selected to attend out of more than 500 interested applicants. OFBF annual meeting scheduled in Columbus COLUMBUS — More than 800 members and guests are expected to attend the 95th annual meeting of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF), Dec. 4 - 6 at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus. Delegates will establish the organization’s policy for the coming year and discuss a new model for membership. President Steve Hirsch, Executive Vice President John C. (Jack) Fisher and Nationwide Chief Executive Officer Steve Rasmussen will address the attendees. Trustee and officer elections will be held. Outstanding contributions by individual members and county Farm Bureaus will be recognized as will winners of the organization’s Distinguished Service Awards. Attendees also will visit with business partners, member service providers and other farm organizations during the Community Showcase. New this year, in conjunction with the OFBF event, is the Ohio Farm and Food Leadership Forum, which includes members of farm and food organizations, civic groups, business, government and other sectors who will focus on general leadership skills, developing boards of directors/trustees, technology and current policy issues. During OFBF’s policy session, 346 delegates will finalize the organization’s stance on issues important to Ohio. Among the topics will be nutrient management to protect water resources, funding for Ohio State University’s Agricultural Technical Institute, assuring proper maintenance of drainage ditches, energy and food production, issues related to drones in agriculture, joint economic development districts and state tax policy. Delegates also will act on proposed changes to membership classifications designed to maintain Ohio Farm Bureau’s ability to serve its members and contribute to community building across the state. Ohio Farm Bureau is the state’s largest and most inclusive farm organization. It serves its members through engagement in public policy, community conversations and costsaving member benefits. Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission is to forge a partnership between farmers and consumers. Mark Twain once advised people to “Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Americans today have taken that advice to heart, and are visiting places around the globe–often for vacations, and sometimes to relocate in another country. If you are one of these people and receive Social Security benefits, we offer a special website: “Social Security Payments Outside the United States.” Here you can ments While You Are Outside The United States, which explains how your benefits may be affected and other important information you need to know about receiving Social Security benefits while outside the country. And one more important point to note. If you receive Social Security benefits as a dependent or survivor there are additional United States residency requirements that may affect your benefit payments while you are outside the United States. It also is important to note that there are different provisions for anyone receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Once you have been outside the United States for 30 or more days in a row, your SSI cannot start again until you have been back in the country for at least 30 consecutive days. There are special rules for dependent children of military personnel who leave the United States and exceptions for students studying abroad. So if you receive Social Security or SSI benefits and are planning to travel or live outside the United States, you’ll first want to pay a visit to www.socialsecurity.gov/international/payments.html. �EE@C?6Jî�6?6C2=î@R6CDîD276î9@=:52JîD9@AA:?8îE:AD COLUMBUS — As Ohioans delve into the holiday season, Attorney General Mike DeWine is sharing tips for staying safe when shopping in stores or online. “We want Ohioans to have a safe and happy holiday season, free of scams and thefts,” DeWine said. “It’s a busy time of year, and distractions can put us at greater risk for problems. Fortunately, taking a few proactive steps can go a long way to keeping you and your family safe.” Top tips for safe shopping at stores or malls: Reduce distractions, such as using a cell phone, while walking to your car, especially at night. Always park in well-lit areas. Limit the number of valuables you carry to minimize potential loss. Never leave personal items or packages in plain sight in your vehicle. This includes money (even loose change), credit cards, cell phones, laptops, tablets, purses, and GPS units. Do not carry multiple packages at once. Use will-call and curbside package pickup services instead. Ask mall or store security for an escort before leaving your shopping location. Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, con artists may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings. Do not load packages in your trunk right before leaving your vehicle. Someone could be watching. To help local law enforcement catch thieves who break into cars, DeWine’s office provides the BCI Bait Car, which is wired with cameras and recording devices that allow law enforcement to watch activity remotely. Law enforcement can utilize the tool in high break-in areas or during a busy shopping season in a mall parking lot. Since 2010, BCI has had 43 requests for the BCI Bait Car, and DeWine encourages law enforcement to continue utilizing the tool to fight crime. In addition to protecting themselves while shopping at stores or malls, consumers also should protect themselves while shopping online. Every year, the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section receives thousands of complaints involving online shopping. Top tips for safe shopping online: Z�î�9C:DE>2Dî)E@CJ[î2Eî CLEVELAND (AP) — Even after three decades, the tripledog dare doesn’t get old. The film “A Christmas Story” opened 30 years ago to mixed reviews but has shown its staying power as a holiday family favorite. Cleveland, where parts of the movie were filmed and hard-luck Ralphie dreamed big, is celebrating the anniversary with iconic leg lamps, holiday store windows like the ones that drew Ralphie’s wide-eyed stares, and stage and musical versions of “A Christmas Story.” “It becomes part of your fabric for your whole life,” said Kevin Moore, managing director of the Cleveland Play House, where the stage version of the story has become a holiday staple. In the film, starring Darren McGavin as the father, 9-yearold Ralphie was transfixed by the brightly decorated storefront windows. And he dreamed of getting an air rifle as a Christmas gift, despite warnings that he might shoot his eye out. The plot follows his determined gift-begging, his encounters with bullies and his family’s daily hopes and dreams — including a lamp in the form of a shapely leg. The Cleveland house where Ralphie’s film family lived will highlight the anniversary Friday and Saturday with appearances by original cast members and a BB gun range in the backyard. The movie wasn’t widely acclaimed when it debuted, with favorable reviews barely outnumbering bad mentions like the one that grumped, “Bah, humbug” in the headline. But its quirky humor and love-infamily message struck a chord with audiences. Like any holiday favorite, a sense of wonder is needed for “A Christmas Story” and 8-yearold Colin Wheeler thinks he has one to match Ralphie’s. “We both have really big imaginations,” boasted Colin, who plays Ralphie in “A Christmas Story” musical at Cleveland’s Near West Theater. It’s not easy playing Ralphie in that ill-fitting pink bunny suit, Colin said. “I’ll tell you one thing that’s hard: it’s really hard not to laugh” while wearing that suit, Colin said. Across town, the Cleveland Play House production of “A Christmas Story” attracts multigenerational audiences of children, parents and grandparents, Moore said. The appeal in Ralphie’s bluecollar hometown is simple, Moore said. “It’s just a really Check a website’s reputation before making a purchase. Look for complaints filed with the Attorney General and Better Business Bureau and do a basic Internet search with the website’s name and the word “scam” to look for potential red flags. Keep your computer, smartphone, tablet, and any other device you use for shopping updated with the latest security software, programs and apps. Be skeptical of “free” offers, especially if you have to provide your credit card number for shipping and handling. You may start to receive monthly charges when the free trial period ends unless you directly cancel. Make sure a website is secure before entering your information. The web address should say “https.” The “s” indicates that the connection is secure. Only give out personal information that is necessary to complete the transaction. Look for the refund policy. Review the terms and conditions carefully before purchasing. Check your accounts regularly. This may help you identify fraudulent charges or identity theft. �î$@HîA2CEî@7îE96î72>:=J quirky and yet incredibly sweet story and that resonates with Cleveland,” he said. The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland has been decorated for the season to highlight the film’s roots in the department store now housing the casino, with leg lamps atop some of the slot machines. Sheryl Peet, emerging from the casino, said she appreciates the movie and its humor, without regard to its Cleveland connections. “I like it. It’s got comedy, fun, Ralphie,” she said. At “A Christmas Story” house overlooking humming steel mills, visitors can re-enact movie scenes including ducking under the 1940s-style kitchen sink or looking out the back door where Ralphie trudged through the faux snow. The movie “snow” was actually mostly firefighting foam, pressed into service amid a cold but rare snowless stretch during filming in winter-hardy Cleveland. Jim Moralevitz, now 73, lives down the street from “A Christmas Story” house and landed a cameo role in the film helping deliver the crate carrying the leg lamp. The entrepreneur who developed the house as a tourist attraction, Brian Jones, gave Moralevitz a leg lamp seven years ago and it’s mounted in a 6-foot outdoor Plexiglas box near the peak of the front roof. People sometimes mistake it for “A Christmas Story” house and stop to visit. In the neighborhood, “I’m known for the most drive-by shootings (filming),” said Moralevitz, a retired tour guide stepping back into his old role for comic effect. Like many of the best holiday classics, the risky business turns cheerful at the end. Now families get together at holiday gatherings to watch the movie or crowd theater performances. “It fills up the seats because it’s a family experience,” Moore said. The anniversary of the movie will be marked beyond Cleveland, with versions on stage from Boston to California. The musical has returned to Broadway for another run. A new bronze statue of the “triple-dog dare” tongue-grabbing flagpole scene is on display in time for the holidays in Hammond, Ind., hometown of Jean Shepherd, whose stories inspired the 1983 movie. One of the boys in the movie takes the dare and gets his tongue stuck on the icy pole. The Hammond reproduction has become a big hit since it was dedicated in October, with families stopping by to take their Christmas card photos. �2==@@?DîDE62=îD9@Hî2Eî$/�îA2C256î2ñ6CîH:?5î762CD NEW YORK (AP) — Revelers at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade gave thanks for the giant balloons that flew above the city streets Thursday after a blustery storm accompanied by high winds nearly grounded them for only the second time in the parade’s 87-year history. “The balloons are the best part,” 11-year-old Matthew Ragbe said as he watched them leave their launch pads on 77th Street and turn the corner to face the crowds of parade-goers, many of whom waited hours to secure a good viewing spot. Across the country, millions of Americans celebrated their blessings, gobbled up turkey and pumpkin pie and prepared to kick off the official start to the Christmas shopping season. In Detroit, former Tigers manager Jim Leyland served as grand marshal of the city’s parade, while Philadelphia celebrations were subdued slightly by gusting winds that limited the use of balloons. In New York City, tens of thou- sands of people lining the parade route were not disheartened by freezing temperatures or the drama over whether Spider-Man, Julius, Snoopy and SpongeBob SquarePants would make their scheduled appearances along with a dozen other puffed-up sky-bound creatures. “We thought they’d find a way to pull it off,” said parade-goer John Mispagel, of San Jose, Calif. “It’s really fun seeing so many people having such a great time.” Dozens of balloon handlers kept a tight grip on their inflated characters, keeping them close to the ground to fight winds that reached the mid-20 mph range. Caution was necessary to prevent a recurrence of the kind of highwind accident that crashed a Cat in the Hat balloon into a light pole in 1997, seriously injuring a spectator. Balloons were only grounded once in the parade’s history, with bad weather to blame in 1971. The balloons were sprinkled along a parade led by a bright orange Tom Turkey float that gleamed in the sunlight. Also featured were thousands of baton twirlers, clowns, cheerleaders, marching musicians and performers including Brett Eldrege, Joan Jett and the Blankhearts, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots, the Goo Goo Dolls and Kellie Pickler. “It’s amazing,” Pickler said, preparing to sing “Little Bit Gypsy.” ”This is such an honor to be a part of this parade. I grew up watching this.” The parade largely went off without a hitch, though Sonic the Hedgehog got briefly hung up in the branches of a tree and a spinning dreidel balloon became temporarily deflated on a float meant to mark the start of Hanukkah, which fell on Thanksgiving for the first time in centuries. Farther down the more-than40-block parade route, 11-yearold Ema Kelly, of Manhasset, was protecting confetti buried 4 inches deep in her knitted hat, waiting for the parade’s end: the Santa Claus float. She shared confetti collection duties with her neighborhood friend, 10-year-old Matthew O’Connor. “He forgot his hat so he’s helping me collect it, and then we’re going to split it on the bus ride home,” she said. Nearby, Columbia Law School student Andrew Leff said he had arrived at 5 a.m. to get a frontrow spot to watch the parade for the 23rd time in his 24 years. Greg Packer, of Huntington, said he would still make it to the stores when they open. “I expect turkey, and I expect shopping,” he said. A few blocks away, a line was forming outside a Best Buy store slated to open seven hours later. In Philadelphia, gusty winds of 28 mph limited use of balloons during its annual parade, with officials citing concern for the safety of participants and spectators. Instead of flying along the entire route, the balloons soared only around Eakins Oval and the broadcast area near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Elsewhere in the country, Thanksgiving traditions were largely unaffected by the weather. In Detroit, the Tigers’ popular former manager served as grand marshal of that city’s Thanksgiving Day parade, which is billed as the nation’s second largest, behind New York’s. Revelers braved snow showers and slick roads to see two dozen floats and a performance by singer Ruben Studdard. In Washington, President Barack Obama and family celebrated a quiet holiday at the White House. The menu was quintessential Thanksgiving, including turkey, honey-baked ham, cornbread stuffing, greens and six choices of pie. He also called several members of the armed forces to thank them for their service to the country. In New York City, volunteers from Citymeals-on-Wheels escorted dozens of elderly residents from neighborhoods affected by Superstorm Sandy to a Manhattan restaurant feast. The organization funded almost 20,500 Thanksgiving meals, including 13,000 delivered in advance to homebound elderly. �Sunday, December 1, 2013 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D BLONDIE Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Hilary Price 3 6 8 4 11/30 Difficulty Level Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane 11/30 4 5 7 1 3 2 8 6 9 6 7 1 3 9 4 2 8 5 5 2 3 6 1 8 4 9 7 9 4 8 7 2 5 1 3 6 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability 1 9 6 4 8 7 5 2 3 1-800-401-1670 3 8 2 9 5 6 7 1 4 Call Now and Ask How!

Brooks is set to release a new eight-disc box set Thursday, then will broadcast his Las Vegas show live on CBS on Friday night. Both are an examination of the Oklahoma singer’s musical roots with covers of songs that have influenced him. Brooks was in Los Angeles on Tuesday to talk about both projects, and admitted he was worried about giving fans a little too much Garth. The 51-year-old said he and wife Trisha Yearwood and his children will push Thanksgiving to Saturday “which means I might have an ice cube (on Thursday),” he said, chuckling. “Dude, when you’re 260 (pounds) you’re always watching your weight and, for some reason, you think you’re going to make a difference the day before by not eating.” The two-hour “Garth Brooks, Live from Las Vegas” will emulate the mostly solo show Brooks played during a three-year run at the Wynn Las Vegas. The new box set will reflect that show. Titled “Blame It All On My Roots,” the box contains four new studio albums featuring Brooks’ cover versions of recordings that shaped him as an artist — Christmas Traditions through the Ages Friday, December 6, from 6:00-10:00 PM Enjoy beautifully decorated sites, carriage rides, tastings, exhibits, a Holiday Marketplace, live entertainment and more.

Brooks says his feelings about iTunes haven’t changed, so he won’t make the set available as a download or stream. “So, until they change or I change,” Brooks said, “or some other company comes and gives them some competition, then I don’t think you’re ever going to see us on iTunes.” Brooks said he isn’t ready to talk the future beyond Friday yet. The youngest of the three daughters of the superstar and his ex-wife, songwriter Sandy Mahl, is set to graduate high school next spring and then get ready for college. Brooks mostly retired in 2001 near the height of his popularity to be with his daughters. “It says that Sandy, Trisha and myself did what we promised each other we would do,” Brooks said, by putting the children first. Soon it will be their turn, but Brooks spoke in generalities about what he and Yearwood will be doing with their free time. “Me and Miss Yearwood are free to do whatever it is we want to do,” Brooks said. “And I’ve got to tell you: Anything I do with that woman, I’m fine with. Any place that I am with that woman is home to me. But if I have my wishes, it’s going to be filled with music, and it’s going to be filled with music at a level I’ve never seen before.” ANYONE DUMPING IN LETART TOWNSHIP WILL BE PROSECUTED!

In addition to analyzing customer behavior, it can trigger nearby digital signs offering coupons and steering shoppers to certain products. The company contends that the technology is less intrusive than other tracking devices, including security cameras, because a person’s image is never stored and their movements only registered as a data point. Marketers also are learning to overcome limitations with software cookies. One tech startup called Drawbridge claims to have found a way to link a person’s laptop and mobile device by analyzing their movements online, enabling advertisers to reach the same consumer whether they’re on their work computer or smartphone. But how all that information is used and where it ends up is still unclear. The Federal Trade Commission, along with several lawmakers, has been investigating the “data broker” industry, companies that collect and sell information on individuals by pooling online habits with other information like court records, property taxes, even income. The congressional Government Accountability Office concluded in November that existing laws have fallen behind the pace of technological advancements in the industry, which enables companies to aggregate large amounts of data without a person’s knowledge or ability to correct errors. “There are lots of potential uses of information that are not revealed to consumers,” said Susan Grant, director of consumer protection at the Consumer Federation of America. To protect themselves, “consumers still need to do quite a bit of shopping to make sure that they get (what) meets their needs the best and is the best price.” Brooks focused on live show, box set — mum on 2014 The French Art Colony’s Holiday Tour After the Parade, Visit Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Arts Council Building Sponsored by the Middleport Community Association veloped increasingly sophisticated ways to combine offline and online data that creates detailed profiles of shoppers. They also are perfecting location-tracking technology as a means of attracting new customers and influencing shoppers as they wander through brick-and-mortar stores. A major push encourages shoppers to agree to be tracked in exchange for a good deal. Brick-and-mortar stores used to balk at customers who used smartphones to compare prices at rival stores, but retailers like Target are now pushing their own mobile apps and offering in-store Wi-Fi. The mobile apps entice shoppers with coupon deals or ads as they move throughout a store, while in-store Wi-Fi is another way to track a consumer’s online movements. To further lure buyers, major holiday retailers, including Macy’s, Best Buy and JCPenney, have partnered with the Shopkick mobile app. If shoppers turn on the app while in their store, they can be rewarded with discounts or song downloads for trying on clothes, scanning barcodes and making purchases. Another app, Snapette, blends American’s addiction to social media sites with location technology. Aimed at women keen on fashion, consumers can see what accessories or shoes are creating a buzz in their particular neighborhood, while stores get a chance to entice nearby shoppers with ads or coupons. Not all new technology tracking is voluntary. Stores have been experimenting with heat sensors and monitoring cellphone signals in their stores to see which aisles attract the most attention.

Teaming American Sign Language with dance moves and body language, she brings musical performances alive for those who can’t hear. Her clients are a who’s who of rock, pop and hip-hop: Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Mumford and Sons, Jay-Z, Billy Joel, Marilyn Manson, U2, Beastie Boys and WuTang Clan, to name a few. Along the way, videos of her fast-motion, helter-skelter signing have become popular online. There’s the video of Springsteen jumping down from the stage at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and joining Maniatty and another interpreter. There, he dances and signs to “Dancing in the Dark.” “Deaf people were commenting, ‘Oh, the Boss knows he has deaf fans. That’s awesome,’” she said. “When artists connect with their interpreters, they also connect with their deaf fans.” In another video, rap artist Killer Mike approaches Maniatty in front of the stage after noticing her animated signing. “I’ve never seen that before,” he says to her before challenging her to sign a profane phrase, which she does wholeheartedly as the crowd hoots and hollers. At a Wu-Tang performance, Method Man took notice of her signing, came down from the stage and joined her. WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a big question for marketers: What kind of a buyer are you? And, as important, what are you willing to pay? In the search for answers this shopping season, consumer behavior online and off is being tracked aggressively with help from advances in technology. And it can happen whether buyers are on their work computers, mobile devices or just standing in the grocery aisle. The data can be connected with other personal information like income, ZIP code and when a person’s car insurance expires. Retailers say these techniques help customize shopping experiences and can lead to good deals for shoppers. Consumer advocates say aggressive tracking and profiling also opens the door to price discrimination, with companies charging someone more online or denying them entirely based on their home price or how often they visit a site. “You can’t have Christmas any more without big data and marketers,” said Jeff Chester, executive director at the Center for Digital Democracy. “You know that song where Santa knows when you’ve been sleeping? He knows when you’re awake? Believe me, that’s where he’s getting his information from.” Consumer tracking has long been a part of American consumerism. Retailers push shoppers to sign up for loyalty cards, register purchased items for warranty programs and note ZIP codes to feed their mailing lists. Online stores and advertising services employ browser “cookies,” the tiny bits of software code that can track a person’s movements across the Internet, to analyze shoppers and present them with relevant pop-up ads.
