The Casino Tax Revenue is a result of the constitutional amendment passed in 2009 which allowed for the four casinos to be placed in Ohio. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation website, the Ohio Casino Control Commission is responsible for licensing and regulating casino operators, their employees, and gaming-related vendors. The Ohio Department of Taxation is responsible for administering the gross casino revenue tax and for ensuring compliance with all pertinent state tax laws, as well as administrative rules and policies as they apply to other taxes administered by the Department of Taxation. The gross casino revenue tax is imposed on licensed casino operators HOT DEAL at the rate of 33 percent. “Gross casino revenue” is the total amount of money exchanged for tokens, chips, and tickets at a casino facility, less any winnings paid out to wagerers. The operators of each casino facility are required to file daily returns with the Department and to remit payments for the re- lated tax liabilities every day that banks are open for business. Each return reflects casino gaming activity over a 24-hour period. The tax revenue collected from the gross casino revenue tax is split among seven funds benefiting the counties and certain large cities, school districts, host cities, the Casino DAILY SENTINEL, SUNDAY SENTINEL, TRIBUNE AND REGISTER Control Commission, the Ohio State Racing Commission, law enforcement training, and problem gambling and addictions.

Statistics state that a woman is battered every 9-15 seconds in the United States, and one out of four women have been assaulted by an intimate partner. Domestic violence can also have a major impact on children who are exposed to it. A child’s exposure to domestic violence is the strongest risk factor for transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next, and boys who have witnesses domestic violence are twice as likely to become abusers as adults. It is important to develop a safety plan. A violent relationship puts everyone involved at risk for injury and even death. Developing a plan will help provide for individual safety and the safety of minor children. Tips provided by the Victim’s Assistance Office for staying safe in a violent relationship include: when an argument occurs, go to a safe room; try to have a phone available at all times; and create a code word or sign that can be used to alert family members and friends that help is needed. If you are preparing to leave a violent relationship, have a bag packed with the following items: copies of house and vehicle keys; money and debit/ credit cards; important papers such as social security cards and birth certificates.

In another room, another researcher uses what looks like a long, pointed eye dropper to suck up DNA samples that will be tested for the suspect fungus. Not far away in another building is the emergency operations center, which is essentially the war room. There’s a low hum of voices as employees work the phones, talking to health officials, doctors and patients who received potentially contaminated pain injections believed to be at the root of the outbreak. Workers sit at rows of computers, gathering data, advising doctors and reaching out to thousands of people who may have been exposed. Overall, dozens of people are working day and night to bring the outbreak under control. More than 200 people in 14 states have been sickened, including 15 who have died. There is a sense of urgency — people are dying, and lives could be saved if those who are sickened get treated in time. But it’s not a race against a fast-spreading illness like avian flu or SARS — or even the fictional virus the CDC fails to unravel in the popular TV series “The Walking Dead.” Unlike those outbreaks, this strain of meningitis isn’t contagious and doesn’t spread between people. It is likely isolated to the contaminated steroid, produced by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass. “This is a very unusual infection,” said Dr. John Jernigan, a CDC medical epidemiologist who is leading the clinical investigation team for the outbreak response. “So, treatment recommendations, diagnostic recommendations are all going to be new, and we’re learning as we go on this one.” Meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, is not uncommon. But it is usually caused by bacteria, and it is very unusual to see it in patients with normal immune systems, Jernigan said. This strain is caused by a fungus that is common in dirt and grasses — people routinely come into contact with it without getting sick — but it has never before been identified as the cause of meningitis. By Friday morning, officials believed they had reached about 90 percent of those who were potentially affected, Jernigan said. They planned to continue trying to reach every person to see if they’ve had problems and to warn them to be on the lookout for symptoms, which can include severe headache, nausea, dizziness and fever. The CDC says many of the cases have been mild, but some people had strokes. A meeting is held each morning to review overnight developments and plot a course of action for the day, and another at the end of the day summarizes the day’s developments and looks ahead to the next day. Maps on big screens in the front of the emergency operations center track the states where the tainted medications were sent and the tally of cases reported in affected states.

In another building on the campus tucked away in the northeast corner of Atlanta, in a part of the CDC that specializes in fungal infections, about 15 scientists in the reference and research labs are logging 12 hours or more a day and working through weekends to test samples coming in from around the country. Because the lab scientists had never worked with this particular fungus in cerebrospinal fluid before, they had to quickly develop new tests to detect it before they could start analyzing the hundreds of samples — cerebrospinal fluid samples, cultures and bits of tissue — sent in from around the country, research lab team leader Ana Litvintseva said. Dressed in a white coat Friday, Shawn Lockhart, the fungal reference lab team leader, peered through a microscope as images of what looked like red pea pods appeared on a computer screen next to him. Many other closely related fungi look similar, but a tiny dot at the end of a pod told him he was looking at the fungus believed to be at the root of the outbreak. Normally, the reference lab works on difficult samples sent in from state health departments, while the research lab works on research projects. But the scale of this outbreak means those projects are mostly being shelved at the moment. “The scale is much, much bigger than we would normally work with,” said research lab team leader Ana Litvintseva said. “We are working every weekend and people are here 12 to 13 hours at a time and we’re testing samples nonstop.” Page 4 Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Political ads blitz viewers, risk negative voter reaction Beth Fouhy Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — Is there any escape from all those political ads in the most hotly contested states in the three weeks before the presidential election? The TV ads come in rapid succession and at all hours — in the middle of newscasts, soap operas and talk shows. They cover everything from jobs to education to trust, and they’re sharply negative. It’s all enough to turn off voters, leaving them frustrated and annoyed. “It’s just way too much,” says Scot French, a history professor at the University of Central Florida. He lives along the swing-voting Interstate 4 corridor that will play an important role in deciding whether President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney wins the state, and perhaps the White House. French is quick to criticize both political parties, calling the homestretch advertising deluge “a game of sowing confusion among those who are confusable.” This is the risk facing the candidates and their allies as they spend vast sums of money before the Nov. 6 vote. It’s a risk that both sides are willing to take, given that polls show the race remains close nationally and in the most competitive states such as Florida. By the end, the campaigns and independent groups will have spent about $1.1 billion on television advertising this year, with $750 million already allocated in the handful of states likely to determine the outcome of the contest — Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, the Kantar-Campaign Media Analysis Group estimates. Florida tops the list, with more than $150 million spent by both sides so far. At least some voters tuned out long ago. In interviews last week, many 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.

Indeed, many of the commercials at this late stage are aimed at those voters who have not yet locked in on their selection. The target audience includes people such as Felicity Rusnak, a stay-at-home mom from Orlando. But Rusnak, 40, says she pays no attention to the ads and will rely on other sources of information to make up her mind. “The ads I just find entertaining,” Rusnak said. “The debates and what I read about are going to affect my decision. I need to know where the candidates stand.” There’s no doubt that TV advertising has the power to shift voter perceptions, particularly when a candidate is not well known. Romney prevailed in the Republican primaries after he and his allies buried his two main rivals with negative advertising in early voting states. Obama’s team tagged Romney as a ruthless corporate raider with a flood of negative advertising in the early stages of the general election. The ads may have shaped perceptions in states such as Ohio, where Obama has held a narrow lead in polling for weeks. Even so, the unprecedented level of spending this year on ads hasn’t changed many minds, according to one analyst. “There’s not much bang for the buck,” says John Geer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University who studies presidential campaign advertising. “The public is pretty much set on who they will vote for and only a tiny slice is up for grabs.” That was the finding of his YouGov Ad Rating project, which screens political commercials with representative sample of 600 voters, including an oversample of 200 swing voters, who judge them for their fairness, believability and emotional reactions. Few ads, he said, really “move the dials.” Not that the candidates and their backers aren’t trying their best to do just that. In the final weeks, Obama’s team is running an ad warning that Romney would cut Medicaid money for nursing home care. “We have a president who won’t let that happen,” the ad says. Romney primarily is running a spot in which he promises to boost the economy through manufacturing, energy and cracking down on China. “Let me tell you how I will create 12 million jobs when President Obama couldn’t,” Romney says. Both sides are being buffeted by independent groups. Romney is getting a big assist from two super political action committees, Restore Our Future and American Crossroads. The pro-Obama Priorities USA Action is running an ad saying Romney would cut early childhood education if elected. Among those who aren’t watching is Paul Gentille, a 67-year-old Obama supporter from St. Petersburg. He said he tuned out the ads months ago. “Everyone I know has already made up their mind. The ads are kind of annoying,” he said. “It’s a shame to see so much money being spent.” On the other side is Julie Harris, also of St. Petersburg. The 33-year-old stay-athome mom said she always planned to support Romney and that his ads made her “more enthusiastic” about doing so. One particular Obama ad stuck out to her: the ad assailing Romney’s pledge to end federal support of public television and the Sesame Street character Big Bird. Even though she’s a fan of public TV, she says that ad won’t affect her vote.

(AP) — The Navy submarine and the Aegis cruiser that collided off the East Coast are both back in port and officials are investigating what went wrong, the Pentagon said late Sunday. Lt. Commander Brian Badura of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command said in a news release that the submarine USS Montpelier arrived at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in southern Georgia. The USS San Jacinto arrived at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Fla. The vessels collided at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday during routine training operations and no one was injured. The news release said now that they are back in port, crews can further determine the extent of the damage. “We have had circumstances where Navy vessels have collided at sea in the past, but they’re fairly rare as to how often they do take place,” Badura told The Associated Press. Navy officials said the collision was under investigation, but declined to offer more specifics including where it happened. The news release said that the sub’s propulsion plant was not damaged.

(AP) — Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner landed gracefully on Earth after a 24mile jump Sunday from the stratosphere in a daring, dramatic feat that officials said made him the first skydiver to fall faster than the speed of sound. Baumgartner came down safely in the eastern New Mexico desert about nine minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,100 feet, or roughly 24 miles, above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory, sending off loud cheers from jubilant onlookers and friends inside the mission’s control center in Roswell, N.M. “When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about of breaking records anymore, you do not think of about gaining scientific date. The only thing you want is to come back alive,” he said after the jump. Brian Utley, a jump observer from the International Federation of Sports Aviation, said preliminary figures show Baumgartner reached a maximum speed of 833.9 mph. That amounts to Mach 1.24, which is faster than the speed of sound. No one has ever reached that speed wearing only a high-tech suit. Baumgartner says that traveling faster than sound is “hard to describe because you don’t feel it.” With no reference points, “you don’t know how fast you travel,” he told reporters. “Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are,” he said. The altitude he leapt from also marked the highest-ever for a skydiver. Organizers said the descent lasted just over nine minutes, about half of it in free fall. Utley said he traveled 119, 846 feet in free fall. Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as “Fearless Felix,” had taken off in a pressurized capsule carried by a 55-story ultrathin helium balloon. After an at-times tense ascent, which included concerns about how well his facial shield was working, the 43-year-old former military parachutist completed a final safety check-list with mission control. As he exited his capsule from high above Earth, he flashed a thumbs-up sign, well aware that the feat was being shown on a livestream on the Internet. During the ensuing jump — from more than three times the height of the average cruising altitude for jetliners — Baumgartner was expected to hit a speed of 690 mph. He was believed to have reached speeds that exceeded 700 mph. Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurized suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus-70 degrees. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids. But none of that happened. He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty. The images triggered another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying.

Hewitt-Fisher leads Rio Grande in rout of UPike Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — There were plenty of fireworks at Evan E.

Sophomore midfielder Caio Cruz tacked on two goals and an assist to the winning effort, while senior forward Richard Isberner had one goal and four assists and sophomore midfielder Patricio Guerrafinished with one goal and three assists for the RedStorm. Rio Grande outshot the Bears, 37-4, and led 7-0 at the intermission.

Viera scored his second goal at 23:28 thanks to an assist by Isberner and, 8-1/2 minutes later, Isberner scored off a pass from sophomore midfielder Cesar Lopez to up the advantage to 5-0. Hewitt-Fisher had the final two goals of the half — within 29 seconds of each other — with freshman midfielder Ryota Tonegawa and Viera recording the assists.

Shelton scored for the second time off an assist from Crow at 61:30, before the freshman forward found the net for herself at 72:49 via a feed from freshman forward Courtney Young to round out the scoring.

A sweet tooth, as well as partying, could be the source of some weight gain. If you are single, you will delight in the “dating game.” You even might give thought to playing the field. Know that it will take a very special person to get any commitment from you. If you are attached, add more playful moments into your bond. Curb a need to possess and/or control each other, as these traits could hurt any good bond. SCORPIO draws you out. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH What could be complicated becomes significantly less so because of a discussion. When you state your feelings, others also are more likely to open up. You could be doing a lot of questioning right now. Sorting through a lot of information takes time and determination. Tonight: Hook up with a key person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Defer to someone who might be eminently more capable and who has the ability to look at situations quite differently from you. This person’s mind is always active. He or she understands you and the situation well and will be able to come up with an effective solution. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your patience and ability to gain clarity — even in the most difficult situations — opens many doors. Additionally, your optimism helps others sometimes get past their issues. Remember, at this point in time, you are like a cat with nine lives; go for what you want! Tonight: Do not push yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your libido energies are high. Remember, it is your choice as to how you direct them. You are far more upbeat than in the past, and this affects a project, a difficult interaction or even a budding relationship. Just avoid not doing anything with this special energy. Tonight: Not to be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You are most comfortable in a homey environment. If you are working, you could leave early and bring more work home or, if you can, take the day to work entirely from home. Some of you even might consider starting a home-based business. Express your feelings directly and compassionately. Tonight: Happy at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You continue to express your feelings in a way others can relate to. Your willingness to verbalize your emotions is substantially increased. Avoid embellishing or elaborating details when dealing with someone who often doesn’t have the ability to focus for any length of time. Tonight: Visit with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Become more aware of yourself and what you offer to others. You do not want to pull back, but giving too much has its liabilities. Try to detach from situations that might appear difficult or impossible to resolve. A little detachment goes a long way. Tonight: Treat someone to dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Beam in what you want, as others are flexible. Someone appreciates your verbal and direct communication. A partner lets you know how much your thoughtfulness and caring means to him or her. You will have a long-overdue heart-to-heart talk with this person as a result. Tonight: With a special person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Assume a low profile, especially if you do not want to maintain the lead in a key situation. Genuinely try to understand your liabilities, yet know when to accept an offer. Your words blend together with your feelings, both negative and positive. You will have a lot to think about. Tonight: Do for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Meetings are far more important than you might realize. You are in sync with others, and this causes opportunities to knock on your door. You might feel excessive in your emotions and/or your finances. Those around you will open up as a result of your being less-than-perfect. Tonight: Where the fun is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Put your best foot forward. Others respond to your efforts and admire your willingness to take the lead and accept responsibility. You might be quite playful and full of fun; however, you will want to suppress that side when dealing with authority figures. Tonight: Split town as soon as you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could be pushing the envelope. You also might want to do necessary research and create your own alternatives. Change the time of a meeting or be willing to miss it. Once you start exploring ideas and making calls to experts, you will not want to be distracted. Tonight: Listen to a great piece of music.

Russo Associated Press Breaking down the AP college football poll after Week 7 of the regular season. Karen Schiely | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo Cleveland Browns tight end Alex Smith and head coach Pat Shurmur look up at a replay of a controversial run back call during the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles at Cleveland Browns Stadium Sunday, Sept. 9, in Cleveland. Shurmur, Browns stop slide, down Bengals 34-24 CLEVELAND (AP) — He’s been criticized for his play calling, sideline demeanor and dreadful record. Pat Shurmur has been under fire. On Sunday, Cleveland’s coach fired back. With key contributions from unexpected players, the Browns put together their best all-around performance in a 34-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals that ended Cleveland’s 11-game losing streak and took some pressure off Shurmur, whose job security in his second season was eroding with every loss. “I’m happy,” Shurmur said after getting his first win over an AFC North team in nine tries. “I’m holding it back so I don’t appear sensitive. “That’s a joke.” Shurmur was able to laugh and relax after his young team, which had been competitive but without a win to show for it through five games, finally strung together enough big plays and wasn’t going to be denied. “It’s terrific,” said Shurmur, who improved to 5-17 with the Browns. “Not so much for me, but for my family, the players, really everybody who goes to work on Monday morning. Mondays feel better when you win a game.” In Cleveland, all seven days of the week have been tough for almost a year. The Browns (1-5) had not won since Nov. 20, a franchise record-tying stretch that could have gotten longer if not for a strong fourth quarter in which Cleveland outscored Cincinnati 21-10 and delighted long-suffering fans who celebrated the win as if it meant so much more. “Oh my goodness, it’s like a big weight off everybody’s shoulders,” said cornerback Joe Haden, who sparked Cleveland’s defense in his return from a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancers. “It felt like we won the Super Bowl, honestly. I’m just so happy that it was the game I came back and we just made it happen.” Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes on his 29th birthday, Montario Hardesty, filling in for injured running back Trent Richardson, scored his first career TD and cornerback Sheldon Brown intercepted Andy Dalton and returned it 19 yards for a score in the fourth quarter for the Browns, who trailed 14-7 at halftime. But after making several adjustments, Cleveland outscored Cincinnati 27-10 in the second half and renewed hope this season may be salvageable. “It kind of felt like we were going to win from the start,” said Josh Cribbs, who had a 60-yard punt return in the second half. “I think we’re on to something.” The victory ended the Browns’ 12-game losing streak inside their division and closed Randy Lerner’s tenure as Cleveland’s majority owner on a high note. Lerner, who has owned the club since his father, Al, died in 2002, has sold the team to Jimmy Haslam III for $1 billion. Haslam’s purchase is expected to be approved by the league’s owners on Tuesday in Chicago. Following the game, Haslam worked the jubilant locker room, shaking hands with Browns players and even giving Shurmur’s wife, Jennifer, a thumbs-up out in the hallway. Haslam has said he will not make any personnel changes until after the season, and Shurmur made a good impression on his new boss. “He was just genuinely happy that we won,” Shurmur said The only concern for the Browns was Richardson, who took a helmet to the ribs in the first quarter and finished with just 37 yards on 14 carries. The first-round pick is scheduled to have further medical tests on Monday, but believes he will be able to play Sunday when the Browns visit Indianapolis. “I took a shot,” Richardson said. “But I’ll be back.” Hardesty, whose pro career has been slowed by injuries, gave the Browns a 20-14 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter when he vaulted in from the 1-yard line. The Bengals made it 2017 on Mike Nugent’s 44-yard field goal with 11:11 left, but Weeden drove the Browns down field and hit tight end Benjamin Watson for a 3-yard TD to make it 27-17. MAKING A STATEMENT Don’t get comfortable, Florida. Same goes for you, Kansas State. Notre Dame, too. For the second straight week, multiple top-five teams in The Associated Press football poll lost and the rankings got a shake-up behind No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon. South Carolina and West Virginia were the big losers this week, and the Gators, Wildcats and Fighting Irish were the beneficiaries. Florida moved up a spot to No. 3 on Sunday after beating Vanderbilt 31-17. No. 4 Kansas State (which defeated Iowa State 27-21) and No. 5 Notre Dame (which beat Stanford 20-13 in overtime) each moved up two spots. All three of them have big challenges directly ahead. Alabama continued to roll along, routing Missouri 42-10, and Oregon had an even easier week. The Ducks were off. The Crimson Tide is a unanimous No. 1 for the third straight week. The first BCS standings were released Sunday night and Alabama and Florida were in the top two spots, followed by Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame. Both are on the road this week — Alabama at Tennessee and Oregon at Arizona State on Thursday night — and there have been more than enough reminders recently that there are no sure things away from home. South Carolina was handed its first loss at LSU, a 23-21 setback that dropped the Gamecocks to No. 9. “That was Death Valley,” Tigers coach Les Miles said triumphantly afterward. “That was the place where opponents’ dreams come to die — and it was spectacular.” The Gamecocks’ next stop is Gainesville, Fla. The Gators are unbeaten and have their best ranking since the end of the 2009 season, Tim Tebow’s last playing at the Swamp. South Carolina-Florida could very well determine who wins the SEC East. Kansas State takes its best ranking since 2000 to Morgantown, W.Va., where the Mountaineers will be looking to bounce back from a startling 49-14 loss at Texas Tech. Kansas State is the only unbeaten team left in the Big 12, and Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein seems to have taken the Heisman Trophy front-runner status from West Virginia’s Geno Smith. As for Notre Dame, the Irish are at home to face BYU (4-3), before a road trip to No. 10 Oklahoma on Oct. 27. A third straight week of shuffling at the top of the media poll would be no surprise. MOVING UP For all of LSU’s offensive issues during the first half of the season, the Tigers are back where they need to be, primed to pounce in the national title race. The Tigers moved up three spots to No. 6 in the AP rankings Sunday after beating South Carolina. LSU’s passing game still lacks pop. Zach Mettenberger was 12 for 25 for 148 yards against the Gamecocks, and at some point he’ll need to do more. Maybe when LSU visits surprising No. 20 Texas A&M, with fast-rising Heisman contender Johnny Manziel guiding the top-ranked offense in the SEC. The Tigers can take comfort in the fact that a patchwork offense line and their seemingly limitless stable of talented tailbacks were able to wear down a good South Carolina defense. LSU had 258 yards rushing on 53 carries. And, of course, the Tigers’ defense is still nasty. Alabama comes to Death Valley on Nov. 3, and it could still be a game that decides the SEC West, and maybe a spot — or two — in the BCS title game. MOVING DOWN Lubbock, Texas, is 1,465 miles from Morgantown, W.Va., the longest trip West Virginia signed up for when it joined the Big 12. It must have felt twice that long heading back home after Texas Tech ripped the Mountaineers. The loss sent West Virginia tumbling from No. 5 to No. 17 as the Mountaineers couldn’t again overcome a porous de- fense. Only seven teams in major college football are allowing more yards per game than the Mountaineers, who are yielding 496 after the Red Raiders put up 676. Smith and the offense couldn’t even keep it close. The senior quarterback was a pedestrian 29 for 55 for 275 yards with a touchdown pass. So where does that leave coach Dana Holgorsen’s team? Still, very much in contention in the Big 12. A win against Kansas State on Saturday puts the Mountaineers back at the top of the standings. And no doubt Smith will put up Heisman-worthy numbers the rest of the way. But it’s hard to imagine West Virginia being able to avoid another loss or two with so many problems defensively. Texas Tech moved back into the rankings at No. 18. IN AND OUT The last time Ohio University was ranked, a man had not yet walked on the moon. The unbeaten Bobcats are back this week, coming in at No. 25. Ohio finished the 1968 season ranked No. 20, back in the days when the ranking only went to 20. The Bobcats improved to 7-0 on Saturday with yet another close victory against a MidAmerican Conference rival. This time it was a 34-28 win over Akron. Ohio’s last three victories have been by a combined 16 points, none by more than seven, and they’ve come against some of the conference’s weakest teams (UMass, Buffalo and Akron). Former Nebraska coach Frank Solich is in his eighth season in Athens, where he has gone 57-40 (39-20 in conference) but has yet to lead the Bobcats to a MAC title. An unbeaten season could put Ohio in position to become the first team from the MAC to reach the BCS. Ohio moved in as another high-scoring potential BCS buster fell out. Louisiana Tech’s 59-57 loss at Shreveport dropped the Bulldogs out of the rankings and probably ruined any hopes for a BCS bid, but they are heading into the soft part of their schedule. Don’t be surprised if La Tech gets back in the rankings soon — and stays there. fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
