(Hurricane Maria, which would destroy the island’s power grid, arrived two weeks later.) A California parole panel recommended parole for Leslie Van Houten, who at 19 was the youngest of Charles Manson’s murderous followers in 1969. (California Gov. Jerry Brown later blocked her release.) EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM a female who has been identified as Makayla M. Curtis, age 30, was also taken into custody at the residence for an outstanding warrant. We believe that Ms. Curtis may have been aiding the men in attempting to elude law enforcement and we will be consulting with Prosecuting Attorney Jason Holdren in regards to additional charges on her.

Are you still in the waiting room? If so, I have good news. This week, I’m continuing my “In the waiting room” series on John 11:1-44. I’m studying three reasons why God keeps you waiting. Allow me to share them with you. First, God is glorified through your waiting. Remember, this series comes from the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead. It begins like this: “Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying, ‘Lord, he whom you love is ill.’ But when Jesus heard it he said, ‘This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was” (John 11:1-6 ESV). As we continue reading the story, we learn that Jesus allows Lazarus to die (v. 14) and shows up four days after Lazarus is buried (v. 17). It doesn’t make much sense. glory is exactly what Martha wonders why we’re called to do. Jesus comes so late (v. Secondly, God 21). Mary wonders the teaches through your same (v. 32). And the waiting. crowd wonders why He When Jesus finally doesn’t keep Lazarus decides to visit Lazafrom dying when He rus, He tells the discieasily opens the eyes of Cross the blind (v. 37). Words ples, “‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, But Jesus decides Isaiah but I go to awaken to keep them waiting Pauley him’” (v. 11 ESV). The for the glory of God. disciples are confused. Instead of healing After all, if Lazarus is asleep, Lazarus, He raises Lazarus then he will eventually wake from the dead. He doesn’t meet the expectations of the up. “Then Jesus told them people because He desires plainly, ‘Lazarus has died, to exceed them. He refuses and for your sake I am glad to act in their time frame because He sees a better way. that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us And the same is true for us. After raising Lazarus from go to him’” (v. 14-15 ESV). Jesus recognizes an opporthe dead, Jesus receives a tunity to teach through the great deal of attention. The waiting. He seeks to teach Bible says that many Jews believe in Him (v. 45). How- the disciples exactly what He is talking about. Upon ever, some tell the religious entering Bethany, Jesus people about the miracle (v. teaches people the source of 46). As a result, the Bible life—Himself. While Martha says, “So from that day on desperately cries to Jesus, they made plans to put him to death” (v. 53 ESV). Watch He tells her, “‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever the glorious plan of God believes in me, though he unfold after such a devastatdie, yet shall he live, and ing story. everyone who lives and You see, God is glorified believes in me shall never through our waiting. His die. Do you believe this?’” (v. ways are not our ways, and 25-26 ESV). His thoughts are not our We must consider what thoughts (see Isaiah 55:9). God desires to teach us God receives glory as we wait on Him. And giving Him through our waiting. The les- sons we gather in the waiting room are priceless. Thirdly, God reveals His empathy through your waiting. Don’t miss this. When Mary approaches Jesus about the death of her brother, the Bible provides a beautiful image of God’s heart. “When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. And he said, ‘Where have you laid him?’ They said to him, ‘Lord, come and see.’ Jesus wept” (v. 33-35 ESV). There’s the popular twoword verse! But consider the context. Jesus weeps because He cares. I’m not sure what your waiting room looks like right now, but God is there. And He cares. He cares about your grieving. He hears your questions. And He has empathy for your pain—even enough to shed tears with you. When God keeps you in the waiting room, remember that He is being glorified, He is teaching, and He has tears to shed alongside yours. As God’s redeemed people, we of the Church need to hold our Biblical blocks for the sake of society at large. Second, hold your block for victory for Christ by being a person of prayer. Intercessory prayer is an effective spiritual block. When we pray on behalf of others and circumstances, we provide a block for those who need particular protection. Prayer effectively blocks out evil interference and holding. Third, hold your block by being faithful to worship. Worship at the appointed times of your church must be emphasized, not because us preachers say so, but because God says so. “My habitation you shall seek, and there you shall go.” Worship teaches us how to block for victory. Worship inspires us to block for victory. Otherwise, we cannot hold our block very well or very long. Hold your block for victory. Indeed, blockers do not receive much recognition now. But, some day, the Lord will recognize you for the great blocks you made, for sure. There was a large crowd that was accompanying Jesus towards Jerusalem in Luke 14:25-35. While coming to Jesus was a great first step to hearing His Gospel message, Jesus knew the hearts of the people. Most God’s Kids of them really Korner expected Him to Ann perform miracles Moody for them or to feed them or to become a political king for them. Some even thought it was just the “cool” thing to do. But Jesus wanted each person to actually understand what it meant if someone decided to really follow Him – to be His Disciple, so He told them a story about building a tower. Jesus said if you wanted to build a tower for yourself or your family, you wouldn’t just start building without first planning how much it would cost, what it would look like, who would build it, and what materials you would need. If you didn’t think about all those things first, you might start building but never be able to finish it, and then you would be disappointed and others would laugh at you because of your lack of planning ahead. Jesus explained to them that becoming a Disciple was similar; one must realize there is more to it than just saying, “I am Christ’s Disciple.” We need to understand although following Christ is the best thing we can do for ourselves, it may not always be easy. Back then following Him might mean your family didn’t agree with your decision or your friends might make fun of you. That sort of thing still happens today. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we need to fully realize there are times that it may be difficult to follow what Jesus wants us to do. It may mean saying no to things our friends want us to do. It may mean not getting what we want all the time. Sometimes others may even laugh or make fun of us, so we need to make sure we are ready if those things happen. BUT remember too, that people made fun and laughed at Jesus. They didn’t understand His ways or His message at times – even to the point of the cross. Jesus understands and will always help us be the best Disciple we can be if we ask Him. Let’s ask Jesus to help us be good Disciples. Jesus, we know following You is what we should do, but sometimes it is hard. Please help us to stay the course and be a great witness and Disciple for You always. In Your name we pray, Amen.

Like Jonathan, hold your block for victory It is football season to the delight of many. Football talk abound these days about team prospects, particularly for our local high schools and favorite colleges. It makes for lively conversation to discus the philosophies for offensive and defensive plays. But, here is what I think — to me, the offensive line is the most important aspect for successful team play. It is those valuable grunts who get the least amount of recognition, too. Some say defensive is the most important part of the team. Others insist that it is speed. But, there is no other part of football more inspiring that watching a good offensive line hold their blocks for backs to scat, and protecting quarterbacks from sacks. Winning football teams capitalize from those offensive linemen that hold their blocks! This same perspective is very applicable for our churches and the advance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In God’s Word, for example, there are many accounts of people, who like good offensive linemen, held their block for victory. We read of Jonathan, who, in one way of looking at it, held way for any and all to his block long enough tally a Heavenly score for his good friend, and victory with God.

It turns out that ghost, you have something in common with 18 our religious background could play a role. percent of Americans.

And there is, in fact, haunt a specific location and are prepared to spook evidence that very religious people don’t fear any passersby. Some death as much as others. are the spitting images Protestants, Catholics of what were once real and Muslims all believe humans. And then there are the noisy and trouble- in a day of resurrection some poltergeists, which and judgment, in which our souls are directed appear as uncontrolto heaven (“Jannah” in lable supernatural forces the case of Muslims) or instead of people. Knox College hell based upon our good deeds (or misdeeds) during our time spent on Earth. Catholics also believe in a halfway house called purgatory, in which people who aren’t quite worthy of heaven but are too good for hell can pay their dues before getting a ticket to paradise. Buddhists and Hindus believe in a cycle of death and reincarnation that can eventually result in a permanent spiritual state, provided you play your cards right over each successive lifetime. Even the Jewish faith, which doesn’t really focus on the afterlife, assumes that an afterlife does exist. By following a clear set of rules, worshipers can assert control: They know what they have to do to make good things, rather than bad things, happen to them after they take the big dirt nap. Tormented souls and sinister demons But there’s a catch. Religion’s talent for easing our anxiety about death may have had the perverse effect of increasing the likelihood that we’ll be on edge about ghosts, spirits and other supernatural beings. This, however, may depend upon how religious you actually are. All of the available evidence suggests that those who describe themselves as believers – but who don’t attend church regularly – are twice as likely to believe in ghosts than those at the two extremes of religious belief: nonbelievers and the deeply devout. With most religions populated by an impressive cadre of prophets, gods, spirits, angels and miracles, the tenets of religious faith might shape what you see. They could determine whether a visitor from the spirit world is a welcome or unwelcome guest, while also influencing whom you think you’re meeting. For example, in Medieval Catholic Europe, ghosts were assumed to be the tormented souls of people suffering for their sins in purgatory. But during the Protestant Reformation, since most Protestants believed that souls went immediately to heaven or hell, paranormal activity was thought to be the work of angels, demons or other decidedly nonhuman supernatural beings. While most Protestant sects today are largely silent about the existence of ghosts, Catholic theology remains amenable to the existence of ghosts. Catholics typically believe that God may permit dead individuals to visit their counter- parts on Earth, but the church has traditionally condemned occult activities such as seances and Ouija boards. In some religions, such as Voodoo, spirits and ghosts play a central role. Religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism support a belief in ghosts, but ghosts play only a minor role in the religion itself. For Hindus, ghosts are the souls of individuals who suffered a violent death or of people who were not accorded the appropriate and required death rituals. Buddhist ghosts are reincarnated individuals who may be sorting out bad karma. The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.

See SKYLINE | 7 Turnover chain? Steelers eyeing more takeaways in 2019 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kameron Kelly walked into a hotel lobby in San Diego on the first Sunday night in February, plopped down in a chair and spent the next four hours transfixed. Tom Brady methodically led the New England Patriots to a sixth Super Bowl title. One thought kept running through Kelly’s mind over and over again. “The whole time I’m watching the game I’m like, ‘I can do this, I want to do this,’” Kelly said. Seven months, a couple thousand miles and one bankruptcy filing by the Alliance of American Football later, the first-year Pittsburgh Steelers safety will get his chance. With starting free safety Sean Davis nursing an ankle injury, Kelly could run out with the starters for Sunday night’s season opener in New England. Maybe it’s fitting. The one thing the Steelers have stressed the entire offseason, creating more turnovers on a defense that struggled to get them during a wildly uneven 2018, is the one thing that fueled Kelly’s sprint up the depth chart. “Even from OTAs, he jumped out from the beginning,” linebacker Mark Barron said. “He kept getting his hands on the ball. He was ‘round the football a lot. Like a lot a lot. That’s what you want from a safety, ball awareness and being around the ball.” That’s something Pittsburgh didn’t do nearly enough last season. While the Steelers led the NFL in sacks for a second straight year, all that disruption in the backfield failed to translate into turnovers. Pittsburgh finished with just 15 takeaways in 2018. Only Detroit and San Francisco had fewer. The Steelers produced multiple turnovers just twice while going 9-6-1. Five times they didn’t manage to take the ball away even once. Pittsburgh is well aware those numbers need to change if the Steelers are to keep pace in what figures to be a highly competitive AFC North. General manager Kevin Colbert began addressing the problem from almost the moment the new league year began in March. Pittsburgh splurged in free agency, signing cornerback Steven Nelson and his four interceptions — two more than any Steelers defensive back had last season — to a three-year deal.

The team traded up in the first round to grab inside linebacker Devin Bush with the 10th overall pick, won over by Bush’s speed and inherent aggressiveness. The coaching staff put an emphasis on creating an environment more conducive to turnovers during camp. “Coach Tomlin stays on us, making sure that we’re trying to pick the ball off, strip it,” Kelly said. “Any time it’s an incomplete pass, we’re scooping the ball up like it’s a fumble. Defensive players, we don’t get too much work. We do get work with the ball, but not like an offensive player does. We do have to go the extra mile and every single snap make sure we’re ball searching.” When the ball gets in a defender’s hands during practice, he immediately starts racing the other way, often continuing toward the end zone long after the whistle has blown. Sure, it doesn’t count. But it does create a habit the Steelers hope will become second nature. “It’s just a matter of going out there and working,” Barron said. “There’s not one specific drill for it, but we do talk about it in practice. It’s like, ‘When you’re doing this, try to get the ball out, keep that con- Friday, September 6, 2019 7 Beckham ‘ready to go’ for Browns sciousness.’ That’s how it’ll be in a game. You won’t be working a drill. You’ll be playing football, so we try to implement it in our actual play in practice.” There were early signs of progress during the preseason. Pittsburgh finished with a plus-2 turnover differential across four exhibition games, not bad considering backup quarterbacks Mason Rudolph, Josh Dobbs and Devlin Hodges combined to throw four picks. It means the defense — from the starters to guys long since gone from the 53-man roster — forced opponents to put the ball on the ground frequently. “We’ve got to affect the game when we can, whether it’s tipped balls on quick passes or just not letting them be able to step up,” defensive tackle Cameron Heyward said. There might not be a better litmus test than the one awaiting in New England. Pittsburgh is 0-5 when facing Brady on the road and the Steelers’ next interception of Brady in Foxborough will be its first. Ever. Heyward is well aware of the numbers. Yet he’s encouraged by what he’s seen over the spring and summer. Still, he understands doing it in practice is one thing. Doing it when the only player in NFL history with six Super Bowl rings is standing in the pocket is quite another. “We’ll see,” he said. “We haven’t used all our Jedi mind tricks yet.” By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer BEREA, Ohio — Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t play in the preseason as the Browns were extra careful with their prized new superstar. But the three-time Pro Bowler, famous for onehanded catches, fashion risks and theatrics, practiced and showed his teammates why he’s one of the NFL’s highest-paid wide receivers. “Worth every penny,” safety Damarious Randall said Wednesday. Beckham was deemed “ready to go” for Cleveland’s home opener against Tennessee on Sunday by coach Freddie Kitchens, who is anxious to see an offense featuring the high-profile receiver, quarterback Baker Mayfield, receiver Jarvis Landry and running back Nick Chubb — a group that looks potent on paper and in practice live up to expectations and enormous hype. “Very eager,” said Kitchens, who will make his regular-season coaching debut. “It is nice Monday that we had everybody at practice. In a lot of ways, it looked like a totally different team. We still have to take it to the game on Sunday.” The 26-year-old Beckham was sidelined during the exhibition season Ron Schwane | AP file Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens says wide receiver Odell Beckham is “ready to go” for the season opener against Tennessee after not playing in any exhibition games. by what the team said is a “minor” hip injury. Beckham insisted he would have played with the injury during the regular season, but the Browns, who acquired him from the New York Giants in a March trade that could alter the AFC North and NFC East, didn’t want to take any unnecessary risks. Mayfield didn’t get to throw a pass to Beckham during the exhibition season. However, the pair did work out together in California before training camp and on the side during practice to create chemistry. The second-year QB disputes the notion that their lack of playing time together is detrimental. “I didn’t take a snap with Jarvis all last year during the preseason, so yeah, it’s probably pretty overblown,” Mayfield said. Beckham’s speed, catching radius, routerunning and aura are noticeable to anyone who has watched No. 13 in person. The talent is irrefutable. Randall agreed that Beckham is elite, and said he does things on the field that may go unnoticed by the untrained eye. “His run after catch is like really the most impressive stuff I’ve seen about him,” Randall said. “How quick he is, how elusive he is. I think he’s faster than what a lot of people give him credit for.” The Browns are expecting big things from Beckham, who will likely speak to the media Thursday.

The last time these teams met in Stewart was Sept. 29, 2017, and resulted in a 55-14 Tornado victory. A win will give SHS a 2-0 start for the fourth consecutive season. Southern won last year’s meeting with FHHS by a 57-6 count. A week ago, the Tornadoes claimed a 34-6 victory at Portsmouth Notre Dame, with SHS senior Trey McNickle gaining 193 total yards and finding the end zone four times in the game. The Lancers ended their 40-game losing skid last week. FHHS is still looking to end its 33-game league skid. Federal Hocking’s most recent league win came on Oct. 24, 2014, by a 16-14 count over Waterford. Meigs Marauders (0-1) at Rock Hill Redmen (0-1) This is just the third all-time meeting between Meigs and Rock Hill, with the Marauders winning both of the previous contests. MHS topped the Redmen 36-0 in 1986, and then followed it up with a 35-13 win at RHHS the following season. The Marauders will be trying to avoid starting 0-2 for the second consecutive season, something that hasn’t happened since 2002-03. This is the Marauders first trip to Lawrence County since visiting Ironton on Oct. 17, 2014. Meigs hasn’t won in Lawrence County since Week 1 of the 2013 season, when the Marauders topped Coal Grove by a 46-44 count. Meigs’ 24-0 loss to Gallia Academy a week ago was the Marauders first shut out loss since falling to Athens by a 49-0 count on Week 7 of the 2014 season. Rock Hill began the year with a 43-13 loss at Minford, in which the Redmen ran for 260 of their 273 total yards. Miller Falcons (1-0) at Wahama White Falcons (0-1) Friday will serve as the final Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division opener for both programs as each squad is headed to new leagues next fall. The White Falcons will be members of the Little Kanawha Conference starting next fall, while MHS will begin the 2020 campaign as members of the Cardinal Division in the Mid-State League. Miller has won two straight decisions in this head-to-head matchup after WHS won the first seven meetings as members of the TVC Hocking. Miller claimed a 40-0 decision in last year’s meeting and enter Friday following up a 28-25 victory over Beallsville. Wahama has lost six consecutive regular season decisions. Hannan Wildcats (0-1) at Trinity Christian Warriors (1-0) A first for these Wildcats and Warriors. Friday will mark the first meeting between these two programs, with Trinity Christian — based in Morgantown — participating in its first-ever season of varsity football. The Warriors are also coming off their first win after claiming a 38-34 victory over visiting Mapletown (PA) last weekend. Hannan dropped a 58-0 decision at Parkersburg Catholic in the season opener last week, its 15th consecutive setback overall. Hannan has lost eight straight road games dating back to a 41-0 victory at Hundred on Sept. 16, 2017. The Wildcats have been shutout in their last three regular season outings.

Mayfield doesn’t sense that Beckham, who signed a five-year, $95 contract extension before last season, feels he has anything to prove or needs to quiet his detractors. “He’s excited to get back to football. He’s feeling healthy, he’s ready to go,” said Mayfield, who broke the NFL’s rookie record for TD passes last season. “I’d say just talking to him, and knowing who he is, he’s very excited to get back on the field with a fresh start. I wouldn’t say that it has anything to do with the outside. He’s ready to do it for himself.” Titans coach Mike Vrabel is very familiar with Beckham’s talent, and what his addition means to the Browns. “He has really good instincts, really good spatial awareness. Great body control, great hands, good after the catch and has speed,” Vrabel said. “Every week in this league is a difficult challenge, and this will be another one for us to be able to cover their skill players — Landry, (TE David) Njoku; Chubb is a very good runner; (WR Rashard) Higgins has had success, has caught balls and is somebody that Baker is comfortable with. The lone Marauder in the event was Jarod Koenig, who placed 20th overall with a time of 22:45.01.

The Southern volleyball team welcomed non-conference guest Nelsonville-York to Meigs County on Wednesday night, with the Lady Buckeyes claiming a straight games sweep by counts of 25-18, 25-13 and 25-18. Southern (3-3) scored the first three points of the night, but the Lady Buckeyes battled back to take the lead at 10-9. The Purple and Gold tied it up at 10, and again at 15, but never regained the edge and fell by a 25-18 count. SHS led initially in the second, but Nelsonville-York took the advantage at 6-5. The Lady Tornadoes were back in front at 8-7, but the Lady Buckeyes went on a 12-to-1 run and led the rest of the way to the 25-13 win. Southern claimed its first lead in Game 3 at 5-4, but NYHS was back in front at 7-6. SHS tied it up at 12 and 13, but couldn’t take the lead back and fell by 25-18 count. Leading the Lady Tornadoes, Cassidy Roderus had four service points. Sydney Adams, Phoenix Cleland and Kayla Evans had three points each, with Cleland and Evans both earning an ace. Baylee Wolfe ended with two service points, while Jordan Hardwick claimed one point. Wolfe led SHS at the net with 10 kills and a block. Hardwick contributed four kills to the Lady Tornado cause, Roderus added three, while Evans chipped in with three.

Friday, September 6, 2019 9 Lady Rebels roll past Symmes Valley By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com WILLOW WOOD, Ohio — No need for a comeback this time. The South Gallia volleyball team — which rallied back from two games down to defeat Symmes Valley in the season opener — topped those same Lady Vikings by a 3-1 count on Wednesday in Lawrence County. The Lady Rebels started the night in grand style, leading wire-to-wire on their way to the 25-17 victory. Symmes Valley, however, answered with its own wire-to-wire win in the second, tying the match at one with a 25-14 win. South Gallia led initially in the the third game, and the Lady Vikings tied it up five times before finally taking the lead at 9-8. There were three more lead changes in the third, before the teams found themselves in a 20-all tie. The Lady Rebels claimed the next four points, SVHS fought off game-point once, but the Lady Rebels took the next marker and won the game by a 25-21 count. In the fourth, the Lady Rebels scored the first six points and 17 of the first 18, capping off the 3-1 victory with a 25-8 triumph. The victors were led by Amaya Howell with 17 points and four aces, as well as Kiley Stapleton with 16 points and three aces. Christine Griffith picked up nine points for the Red and Gold, while Alyssa Cremeens added eight points and two aces. Rounding out the SGHS service attack, Emma Shamblin had four points and Isabella Cochran marked two. Jessie Rutt paced the Lady Rebels at the net with seven kills and two blocks. Griffith had six kills and seven blocks in the victory, Stapleton added three kills and a block, while Howell had one kill and a team-best 11 assists. Katie Bowling and Olivia Johnson finished with a kill and a block respectively in the match. Howell and Stapleton had four digs apiece to lead the SGHS defense. Alison Klaiber led the Lady Vikings with a dozen service points. Kylee Jenkins, Morgan Jenkins and Payton Hunter had six points apiece for SVHS, Rachael Hayes added five points, while Ellie Johnson came up with four. After hosting Waterford on Thursday, South Gallia will visit River Valley on Monday. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Huskers looking to avenge 2018 loss to Colorado By Eric Olson The Associated Press Here’s what to watch in the Big Ten this week: Game of the week Co-No. 25 Nebraska at Colorado The Cornhuskers are revved to play their old Big Eight/Big 12 rivals after a sluggish offensive performance against South Alabama. Colorado came into Lincoln last year and rallied in the second half to win; plus the Buffaloes knocked out QB Adrian Martinez on what the Huskers allege was a dirty play.

Best matchup No. 21 Syracuse at Maryland So Maryland beat Howard 79-0 in Mike Locksley’s first game as head coach (he was interim coach for six games in 2015). Now let’s see how the Terrapins stack up against a ranked opponent.

Long shot Cincinnati, 16 1/2-point underdog at No. 5 Ohio State Cincinnati has lost 11 straight in the series since beating the Buckeyes in 1896 and ‘97. Ohio State can’t sleep on this one. Third-year Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell returns to Columbus, where he was born, played for the Buckeyes and was a longtime assistant and filled in as head coach in 2011. The Bearcats are picked second to Central Florida in the AAC East and beat UCLA 24-14 in their opener in a game not as close as the final score. Justin Fields and the Ohio State offense were unstoppable their first four series against Florida Atlantic. Cincy’s defense provides a tougher test. Player to watch Iowa RB Mekhi Sargent Sargent could be in line for a big day against Rutgers, which gave up 183 rushing yards to a UMass team that had one of the worst ground attacks in 2018.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government on Thursday ordered Michigan State University to make sweeping changes and pay a $4.5 million fine after determining that it failed to adequately respond to sexual assault complaints against Larry Nassar, a former campus sports doctor who molested elite gymnasts and other female athletes. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced the penalty after the conclusion of two federal investigations. She said Nassar’s actions were “disgusting and unimaginable” and that the university’s response fit the same description. “Too many people in power knew about the behaviors and the complaints and yet the predators continued on the payroll and abused even more students,” DeVos said in a call with reporters. “This must not happen again, there or anywhere else.” The fine is the largest levied under the Clery Act, a federal law that requires colleges to collect data on campus crime and notify students of threats. Long shot South Dakota, which opened the season with a two-touchdown home loss while giving up 510 total yards to fellow FCS team Montana, now plays at fourth-ranked Oklahoma. The Sooners have more Big 12 championships (12) than home losses (10) the last 20 years. Impact performer Oklahoma State sophomore Chuba Hubbard had 221 yards rushing in the opener at Oregon State, making him the early national leader. Hubbard was the Cowboys’ primary runner the final four games last season after Justice Hill’s injury, when he averaged 106 yards rushing per game. NBC offers free prediction contest before its NFL game NBC Sports will offer a weekly freeto-play prediction game before its “Sunday Night Football” telecasts this season. The Sunday Night 7 will feature seven questions on the game covering a series of matchups each week. Some of the questions will change but range from the game’s result to which team’s quarterback will pass for more yards and touchdowns. It also could include who scores the first and last touchdown, total touchdowns, total points or length of the longest TD or field goal. The contest opens with Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. All predictions must be made before the game, with cash prizes awarded each week. NBC already offers prediction games for the English Premier League, golf and NASCAR through NBCSports.com and its NBC Sports Predictor app. NBC Sports Washington had a contest during Redskins preseason telecasts where the questions were made during the game. It was an expansion of what the network did during Washington Wizards games. NBC Sports Washington general manager Damon Phillips said the Wizards and Redskins games were an example of what he sees as a “gamification of television broadcasts.” The NFL has historically been opposed to gambling on its games, but has embraced daily fantasy sports, in which fans wager on the player performances rather than the outcome of a game. Caesars Entertainment became the NFL’s first casino sponsor earlier this year, but the deal doesn’t include sports betting or fantasy football. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email that NBC had discussed the contest with the league.
