BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@ MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM P0~1E R OY - This week Pomeroy Village Council read and approved the first of three readings of an ordinance which will raise the base charge for \\>ater by S5 . Councilmen George Stewart, Jim Sisson. Dave Deem and Councilwoman Mary McAngus approved the first reading while Councilwoman Ruth Spaun voted against it. Councilman Pete Barnhart was absent. Currently. water customers in Pomeroy pay a base charge of $IS. If the rate increase is approved, that charge will go to S I 8. Mayor John Musser suggested the rate increase due to ··extremely low funds" in the water department, calling this a "necessary evil." Musser said the increase would generate around $60,000 more annually. Tpe next reading on the ordinance is set for 7 p.m ., Dec. 14. possibly at the new Pomeroy Municipal Building. Musser said the issue of employee Christmas bonuses will also be decided at the Dec. 14 meeting. As for the old Pomeroy High School. Musser said at this pain£ the village still owns it and the deed has not yet been transferred to the Communit) Improvement Corporation. However. the village now owns the fanner Millennium building. The village was to be given a $100.000 credit towards the purchase of the Millennium building in exchange. for the former Pomeroy High School. Spaun wished to make a change on the .minutes of the Nov. 9 meeting, saying ~he wanted to rescind her vote to pay the b ills which contained expenses related to the Millennium building. Council approved adjusting the annual appropriations by $3,952.36 in the general fund and $10.900 in the water fund. · Council adjourned into executive session regarding personnel matters in the police department.

Through the years light- · ing manufacturers have taken steps to create holiday lights that are safer and easier to use. It is never recommended to put real, lit candles on a tree. which is an obvious fire hazard. Check for frayed wires or bulbs that burn relatively hot on Christmas light strands, which can also be hazardous if the lights are left on while unattended. LED lights are now available that operate coaly and may last longer than some other traditional lights. When choosing ornaments, place delicate or breakable items higher up out of the prying hands of young children. Because glass ornaments c~n fall and break. it may be safer to use plastic or ceramic ones that will be more durable. A tree is something out of the ordinary in a home. so it's natural that a pet or a child will be attracted to it, hence the need to consider safety. If you are cutting down your own tree. or picking one up from the lot, another consideration is being safe with transport. Many people do not adequately secure the tree to their vehicle before driving it home. A tree that is moving back and forth on the roof of a car, or worse, comes loose and ends up on the road, is a danger. Tie the tree from all directions so that it will not move in transit. And make sure that the branches are kept together in a mesh bag so that they do not catch wind while you are moving. Drive slowly and be attentive while making turns. If you feel stressed by the demands of the holiday season, you're not alone. With so much to tlo - shopping, wrapping, cooking, baking. entertaining. and spending time with family and friends - many people feel overwhelmed and exhausted before the holidays even arrive. By using some simple time-management strategies, you can spend less time shopping and more time enjoying all that the season has to offer. The best way to manage your time while shopping for· the holidays is not to shop during the holidays. By shopping throughout the year with the goal of having gifts for everyone on' your list before the Thanksgiving turkey goes into the oven. you '11 have more free time during the holidays to relax with family and friends. And by spreading out your spending over the course of the year and taking advantage of sales, you can even end up with some extra cash in your pocket. If you have to shop during the holiday season or there are some last-minute gifts on you{ list, here are some tips that can help you save time. • Set up a gift-wrapping station in a corner of your home so that you can easily wrap items as you buy them. • Check with stores about free wrapping or take advantage of gift-wrapping services in malls that benefit charitable organizations. The fees are generally reasonable, so you can save time and donate to worthy causes. • Plan your driving route. Before heading out to multiple shopping destinations. it pays to plan your route ahead of time. If you're' already out and about on other business, check to see if any stores you need to stop at are on the way. • Avoid peak shopping and traffic hours by shopping during early or late store hours. Check to see· which stores offer extended· holiday hours and take advantage of them. • Shop alone whenever possible. Children and even friends can be a distraction. You can always arrange a separate holiday shopping • trip with friends to socialize. • Organize a family shopping day. Get it out of the way in one trip so you can remain focused during future outings .. • Plan for next year by buying this year. Many holiday items, such as decorations, cards and wrapping paper. are heavily discounted during the week after Christmas. Take advantage of the sales and you'll be' one step ahead at the start of the next holiday season. Internet StRVING JPOM£ROY • f'REE~4'l'Tt.:!Mbl&tf~J(r. • ht.itA A:<~ .... ;w 6odO:I Ctt • 10...,.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, Nov. 25, the 329th day of 2009. There are 36 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 25, 1783, the British evacuated New York, their last military position in the United States during the Revolutionary War. On this date: In 1758, during the French and Indian War, the British captured Fort Duquesne in present-day Pittsburgh. In 1881, Pope John XXIII was born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli near Bergamo, Italy. In 1908, the first issue of The Christian Science Monitor was published. In 1947, movie studio executives meeting in New York agreed to blacklist the "Hollywood Ten" who'd been cited for contempt of Congress the day before. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a slight stroke. In 1963, the body of President John F. Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. In 1973, Greek President George Papadopoulos was ousted in a bloodless military coup. In 1984, William Schroeder of Jasper, Ind., became the second man to receive a Jarvik-7 artificial heart, at Humana Hospital Audubon in Kentucky. (He lived 620 days on the device.) In 1986, the Iran-Contra affair erupted as President Ronald Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese revealed that profits from secret arms sales to Iran had been diverted to Nicaraguan rebels. In 2002, President George W. Bush signed legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security, and appointed Tom Ridge to be its chief. Ten years ago: Five-year-old Elian Gonzalez was rescued by a pair of sport fishermen off the coast of Florida. (Eiian was one of three survivors from a boat carrying 14 Cubans that had sunk two days earlier in the Atlantic Ocean: his rescue set off an international custody battle between relatives in Miami and Elian's father that eventually resulted in Elian being returned to Cuba.) Five years ago: Leading Sunni Muslim politicians in Iraq urged postponement of the Jan. 30, 2005 national elections. (However, the elections ended up taking place as scheduled.) A man with a knife broke into a high school dormitory "in 'Ruzhou, China, killing nine boys as they slept. (Chinese authorities later executed a 21-yearold man who confessed to the attack.) One year ago: President-elect Barack Obama said economic recovery efforts would trump deficit concerns after he took office in January; at the same time. Obama pledged a "page-by-page, line-by-line'' budget review to root out unneeded spending. Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty to a Virginia dogfighting charge, receiving a three-year suspended sentence. Flights in and out of Bangkok, Thailand, were grounded when anti-government demonstrators occupied the international airport. Playwright William Gibson ("The Miracle Worker") died in Stockbridge, Mass., at age 94. TV personality Brooke Burke and professional partner Derek Hough won "Dancing with the Stars." Thought for Today: "Self is the only prison that can ever bind the soul."- Henry van Dyket American • clergyman (1852-1933). Barack and the (Buchanan Precedent' BY DR. MARVIN FOLKERTSMA CENTER FOR VISION • A~D VALUES Presidential comparisons that greeted Barack Obama 's election ranged from the sublime to the transcendent. He was variously described as the second coming of John F. Kennedy. a re-embodiment of Franklin Roosevelt, and even a budding Abraham Lincoln - a smt of Savior-in-Chief to rescue an aggrieved nation from the Dantesque tribulations of his predecessor. Mr. Obama's public pronouncements signaled his determination to abrogate George W. Bush's policies and send us all back upon paths of righteousness. And that was before the new president had even done anything. Well. now President Obama has done quite a number of things.\-\ hich bring to mind other analogies. some of which lurk beneath the worship continuum. Before Roosevelt there was Herbert Hoover. and before Lincoln there was James Buchanan, both of whom share the dishonor of being ranked among the country's worst presid~nts. as Nathan Miller pointed out a decade ago in a perky book entitled "Star-Spangled Men." About Hoover. much has been written; but it is President Buchanan who presents a really interesting case. Miller's review suggests that presidents fail because they are clueless or spineless or both. James Buchanan was both. Among the most reviled in the heap. he exhorted Supreme Com1 justices to deliver what was arguably the most disastrous cm111 decision in American history-Dred Scott v. Sanford-and in the process egregiously violated constitutional integrity and the separation of powers. Buchanan lambasted Congress for not passing the notoriously proslavery Lecompton Constitution that would have admitted Kansas as slave state into the Uliion. To get his way he resorted to political thuggery: promises of cash to his supporters and dismissal of officials who opposed him. All to no avail; Congress defeated the measure anyway. A later vote in "bleeding Kansas"'-rcsulted in the uefeat of the Lecompton plan by a margin of about nine to one. a result that surprised him. Cluelessnes::.. And when Southern States seceded one by one. Buchanan dithered and temporized, declaring such acts unconstitutional, but unlike Andre\\ Jackson before him and Abraham Lincoln after him. he did nothing. Spinelessness throughout. All this from a man who believed that defusing the time bomb over slavery would rank him at the level or George Washmgton, a hope that goes beyond cluelcssness. Tim is the danger of the Obama presidency. as Barack Obama juggles a half dozen major bills along with several foreigti-policy challenges. any one of which risk failure that could damage his presidency severely. if nOt uestroy it altogether. Since the summer especially. Obama 's executive style has been carefully documented with increasing alarm by president-watchers. even those who are sympathetic to his goals. Thus. on healthcare. Mr. Obama has insisted on reconstructing the entire industry in spite or Jhe fact that all but a minority of Americans have insurance. arK! by large margins are satisfied with their covera!!e. Gho::.ts of Lecompton haunt th1s !Tgure. In foreign policy, Obama has courted dictators. spurned America's traditional allies. and curried favor with auversanes such as the MedvedcvPutin duo by caving to their objections over a missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic - apparently in hopes that appeasing the Russian bear will bear fruit in negotiations with Iran. Stich spinelessness did not go unnoticed by the Iranians. who responded with missile-firing contempt. Finally. the presiuent"s vacillation over Afghanistan while carbon-foot-printing his way to that other Euro-Superpower. Denmark. apparently to seek advice from Hamlet on executive decision making. hardly speaks well for his quest to find the buck that stops somewhere in the -vicinity of the Oval Office. It's hard to see how olu "Public Functionary Buchanan·· could ha\e done worse. The implications of these actions seem to escape President Obama. and therein lies the chief danger to his presidency. He could take a lesson from another predecessor to a favored president. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Neither flashy nor eloquent, fke ally had a life before writing abo and knew the world is not a glo 'ersion of Mr. Roger'!~ 1'\eighborhood. Further. he possessed the good judgment not to inflict ambitious programs onto a population v.eary of \Var and the previous incumbent. much like Americans in 2008 who wert: tired of conflict and of George W. Bush. Initial reviews of Ike's terms in office were unenthusiastic: more recentlv. his stature has risen among mature scholars who do not equate presidential greatness with increased federal po\l.·er. The question for President•Obama is less about whom he resembles among the great ones: rather. it is about which among the others will be staring him in the face when he completes his term in office: Hoover. Eisenhower. or Buchanan'? (Dr. Man·in Folkerrsma is a profes.wr of political science and Fellah for American STudies with the Cente1 for Vision & Values at Gro1·e Cit) College.

The Middleport Jail houses that county's male inmates when necessary in exchange for allowing space for Middleport's female inmates. Wood said the new policy prohibits men and women in the jail at the same time. and said women inmates can only be housed in the Middleport Jail when there are no male inmates. or only when those men can be housed elsewhere at no cost to the village. He said the sheriff's department had transported two women to the Washington County Jail, at a cost of $60 per day per inmate, and that the Gallia County sheriffs department had already inquired about hou:-.ing women in the Middleport Jail.

The most notable deals are usually on big-ticket purchase~ like televisions, computer:s and other electronics. de Grandpre said. There may be more disc~mnts this year on . . mailer items like sweat shirts or coffee pots to cater to shoppers· more modest ways. But the big splash is where the big sa\ ings lie. ''Tho e arc the things that get people whipped into a frenzy,'' de Grandpre said. Just bear in mind that retailers tend to make their mo:st significant cuts on lower-priced version~ of products because they know they can continue to sell higher-end ~ items the rest of the yem. "lf the deal made you sav 'Wo.,.. !' ... that tells you that the deal is probably worth it,'t de Grandprc said. ''If it doesn't make you say that, then why do it'! You don't get a Jot of days off.'' · Some retailers caution that with much less inventory this year. they may no longer have everything you want closer to Christmas, and you may see fewer end-of-season deals. • THI;_ COSTS: After you determine (ahead of time) what you should pay forthe items you want (consumers are comparison-shopping more than they have in years, according to the NPD Group). then decide whether your savings will be worth your additional costs. Count the 'alue of your time. the gas to get to the store and circle for parking. the extra snacks at the~ food court and any other costs you incur imply because you are shopping. Also remember the add-ons: the cable to go .,.. 1th the super-cheap television and the impulse purcha::.e::. you make while roaming the aisles when they're out of the item you came for. One of the easiest ways to limit those added costs is tp shop online. Many retailers offer the same deals online as in the stores - and sometimes they start the day before or sooner. "You could go to the store and deal with the has . . Ic. Or you could stay home in your jammies." de Grandprc said. 'Tm generally inclined toward the latter." TV retailer QVC joins 'Black Friday' frenzy NEW YORK (AP) - Television retailer QVC has made aggressive plans to keep shopper" watching - instead of mall-hopping - on Black Friday, an event it ha~ traditionally ignored. The leading network for TV shoppers promi-,ec; special deals and a healthy dose of new items for sale startmg on Thanksgiving night. Program host Dave James plans to stay awake for 28 hours of telethon-like coverage. The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year, called ''Black Friday" because it's key for many businesses to go in the black, or turn a profit. QVC, which competes with ShopNBC and the HSN home shopping network, has not wanted to get caught up in the frenzy and has always treated it as just another day for its sales pitches, said Doug Rose, the network's vice president of programming and marketing. "This year, and we've been planning on this for many months, we really expect to join the fmy with the other retailers." Rose said. QVC is hopin~ for a "Black Friday'' of its own. Hurt by the same recess1on that affected other retailers lac;t year, QYC's fourth qum1er revenue in 2008 wa" dO\\ n 8 percent from the previous .year. So far this year revenue has been essentially flat. although the value of the item!> that QVC is selling is down slightly. The network generally offers one "special value•· item to customers each day. For ''Black Friday" coverage, which starts at 8 p.m. EST on Thanksgi\ in~, there will be three. Eve'">: hour, there .,.. ill be a spectally priced offer, and there w11l be five hours of gifts that have never been avatlable before on the network. QVC said. 'There are a lot ot people who think of going to the mall painful and awful," on 'Black rnday' as dental surgcr) .Rose said. "We'll he H good altcmative.'' · Rival HSN, which has also lx·cn flat in sales this year, mailed one milli<?n gilt guides·for the first time to peoplt: who have bought thmgs through the network in the past. It is also olfl.'ring specially-priced items over the Thanksgivim! weekend, although that's not u shift from what it has done in~the past. HSN also had a "Get Ready for the Holidays" programming theme for the first week of November, for people who wanted ad' ice on cooking and decorating. HSN ha~ a little more than half QVC's sales domcsticall). James, a former rndio disc jockey, said the closest thing he's come to his upcoming 28-hour marnthon is hosting radiothons for about half the time. He said he\ working with a nutritionist to prepare him for the ordeal. He's convinced his family to have an early Thanksgh mg dinner and hopes the turkey will let him have a long nap before he goes to QVC's Pennsylvania studio. "There's going to be coffee - a lot of coffee." he said.

DcSteno found those who had been helped by the assi~tant. and were grateful for it. were more lilely to return the favor. and did so for longer than those in a group not helped.

"It makes a person ph)sically, mentally. in every way healthier." As for Golden. he doesn't pay much attention to the academics.

Giving thanks for a safe Thanksgiving dinner BY CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - With pots boiling, ovens baking and skillets si uling. Jhanksgiving can be a ha1 ardous day in the kitchen. So much so. in fact, that the National Fire Protection Association savs that with so many more people cooking ~m Thanksgiving than on a typical day, Americans are twice as likely to have a home fire on the holiday than any other day of the year. "We want the dinner to come off v.ell ,".says John Drengenberg, the consumer ~afety director at the Northbrook-based Underwriters Laboratories, a product safety testing organization. "We want to dazzle friends and relatives. but you have to think about safety. A fire in your kitchen doesn't dazzle anybody." Thanksgiving kitchens can be filled with inexperienced, busy or distracted chefs, Drengenberg says, which can spell disaster. He offers the following advice for a safe holiday: • Turn pot handles in, toward the sto,·e: Pot handles can get ·bumped when several people are bustling around a busy kitchen. Turning them inward can keep them from being snagged. • Take a pot holder with you when you leave the kitchen: This serves as a reminder when you leave the room to answer the door or greet relatives that there are dishes that need monitoring. Always try to stay in the kitchen while food is cooking. • Don't hold your child while cooking: Pussy children can get too close to hot pans and plates, causing them to get injured or fall out of your arms. '"You're holding them right over the burner," Drengenberg says. "It's really not a good idea." • Don't wear loose-fitting clothing when cooking: For women, holiday time can mean frilly blouses, which could easily catch fire over a stove. ''It's very easy for them to dangle into the heat," Drengenberg says. • Keep your cooking area clutter free: Items on cluttered counters can get knocked into open flames, cau~ing a fire. And when it's time to take a finished dish off the stove. you won't be able to find a place to set it down. • Safety first: Families should have working .smoke alarms and fire extinguishers while cooking and discuss an escape plan if there is a fire. Underwriters Laboratories also recommends keeping a flameresistant oven mitt, pot holder or lid nearby to smother any flames. And as for those famous turkey fryers: Drengenberg says the product-testing group doesn't recommend them because the fryers present numerous safety hazards and there have been increasing reports of fires related to them. or http://verybestbaking.com • Ocean Spray consumer help line: (800) 662-3263 or http://www.oceanspray. com o Perdue consumer help line: (800) 4PERDUE or http://www.perdue.com • Reynolds Turkey Tips Hotline: (800) 7454000 or http://www.reynoldskitchens.com u.s.

It meant everything. Within days after Pitt's 13-9 road victory prevented West Virginia from playing for the national championship, Pitt received eight commitments from recruits some of whom had considered both schools. On the first day of offseason workouts in January. Wannstedt sensed the kind of let's-go-play excitement generally seen only when training camp begins. "We had as much enthusiasm. from a team standpoint. to get started and to try to build on that for the next year," Wannstedt said. Before beating West Virginia. the Panthers had lost seven of nine. 12 of 16 and were 15-19 under Wan nstcdt, a major downgrade from the 25-13 record during former coach Walt Harris' final three seasons from 2002-04. If they hadn't won. the Panthers would have ended the season 4-8. West Virginia. by contrast. was lO- l that season and 32-4 over three seasons under native son Rich Rodriguez.

Study says hoop refs try to ~ven the score APWRITER They don't all need glasses. But if you always suspected basketball referees biased - well, you're ~ ht. according to a couple of professors who've studied the matter. Refs favor the home team. the academics say. They're big on ''make-up" calls. They make more calls against teams in the lead. and the discrepancy grows if the game is on national TV. The professors studied 365 college games during the ,2004-05 season and found that refs had a terrific "knack for keeping the foul count even, regardless of which team was more aggressive. Exhibit A: The 2005 Final Four meeting between Illinois and Louisville. The mini, known for being more aggressive defensively, got whistled for the first seven fouls. By the end of the game, the foul count was Louisville 13, Illinois 12. The Illini won 72-57. AResults like this were the across all the games the professors studied from that season - from the Big East to the ACC to the Big Ten and all 63 NCAA tournament games. The takehome message for coaches: The more aggressive your teams the better because, in the end. the foul count is going to be about even no matter what. It helps explain,' the pro- .r: - rm Junior from Page Bl gled with his confidence. "I've seen this happen with Jeff Gordon ... you just go through these (slumps)," Hendrick said. "We know we can make the team betand it's frustrating. The ver begins to think that matter what he does, something is going to happen. ' "We've had failures, we've had wrecks.

Stan Musial ( 1940s), Roy <::ampanella (1950s) and Mike Schmidt (1980s) each won three. Five players have won three AL MYPs: Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio. Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle and .Alex Rodriguez. n addition to Pujols and nds, the only unani• --~ -- -- -- - fessors say, why college basketball has gotten increasingly physical over the past ,. 25 years. "Part of the reason for the study came from something my coach used to tell me," said study co-author Kyle Anderson. a visitin~ professor at Indiana Untversity's Kelley 'School of Business, who played at Division III Knox College. "He said a team can come in and push and shove and grab and hold, and by the end or the game, or end of the half. they've only .got one or two more fouls because officials kind of get tired of calling it." Among the key findings, which were published The Journal of Sports Sciences earlier this year: -The probability of a foul being called on the visiting team was 7 percent higher than on the home team. -When the home team is leading. the probability of the next foul being called on them was about 6.3 percentage points higher than when the home team was trailing. The professors also cited an earlier study that concluded there were more cans against teams ahead in games on national TV versus those ahead in locally t~levised games. Calling fouls against the leading team tends to keep games closer. the studies ~aid. -The bigger the difference in fouls between the two teams playing. the more likely it was that the next call would come against the team with fewer fouls. When the home team had five or more fouls than the visiting team, there was a 69 percent chance rile visiting team would be whistled for the next foul. As part of their 365-game sample, the professors looked at 93 games played on neutral courts, and the numbers remained largely the same when it came to leveling the foul count. "There's something to it." said Irv Brown, a former official who worked six Final Fours and was supervisor of officials for the Western Athletic and Big Sky conferences. "If you're looking at the board and one team has a lot more fouls. you probably look a little harder "to do something, sub· consciously." Brown said he used to experiment and try not to look at the scoreboard, but human nature dictates that referees will. Same for home-court advantage. Try as they might. there's no way a referee can completely block out thousands of fans yelling at him from close range. .. As an official. you get the reputation that you're tough on the road, and'that's what you want." Brmvn said in a · telephone interview last week. "But it takes a lot of years.

Gainey is the daughter of Rick Hendrick's brother, John. who was one of the 10 people killed in a 2004 plane crash. Also killed in the accident was Gainey ·s younger twin sisters.

Houston's Case Keenum joins Tebow and McCoy as finalists for the Davey O'Brien Award given to the be.st quarterback. The winners of the Maxwell, O'Brien and seven other awards will be announced at Walt Disney World in Florida on Dec. 10, two days before Tebow and McCoy figure to be in New York as Heisman finalists for the second year in a row. Tebow won the Heisman in 2007 and finished third hehind winner Sam Bradford and McCoy, the runner-up, last year. If the Gators and Longhorns win twice more each to get to 13-0. Tebow and McCoy will probably face off on the field in the BCS championship game at the Rose Bowl. One of Florida's victories, though, will have to come against No. 2 Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship. And Ingram figures to be a worthy opponent in Heisman balloting as well. The sophomore is fifth nationally in rushing at 127 yards per game with 12 touchdowns. · Tebow doesn't measure up statistically among quarterbacks, but has led the Gators to BCS titles two of the past three years. McCoy set an NCAA record with his 43rd victory Saturday against Kansas. Keenum is the statistical darling of the bunch. He leads the nation in passing by more than 1,000 yards and is the leader in total offense and completions as well. Ingram is also a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. The others are Toby Gerhart of Stanford, the national leader with 23 touchdowns, and Clemson's C.J. Spiller. McCoy's favorite target, receiver Jordan Shipley, is finalist for the a Biletnikoff Award. He is joined by Freddie Barnes of Bowling Green and Golden Tate of Notre Dame. Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is a finalist for the Outland Trophy (best interior lineman) and the Chuck Bednarik Award (best defensive plaxer). The other Outland finalists are Mike Iupati of Idaho and Russell Okung of Oklahoma State. The other Bednarik contenders are Alabama nose guard Terrence Cody and Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes. The winner of the Jim Thorpe Award for best defensive back will come from the trio of Tennessee's Eric Berry. Florida's Joe Haden and Earl Thomas of Texas. The Lou Groza finalists for best kicker are Kai Forbath of UCLA, Leigh Tiffin of Alabama and Blair Walsh of Georgia. The finalists for the Ray Guy Award (best punter) are Georgia's Drew Butler, Michigan's Zoltan Mesko and Florida's Chas Henry.

The top seven teams in the Bowl Championship Series standings released Sunday were unchanged from last • week. with Florida. Alabama and Texas still in control of the national championship race. Barring any major upsets ·over the next two weeks. the :winner of the Florida. Alabama Southeastern Conference title game will face Texas in the BCS title game on Jan. 7 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. With fourth-place TCU a victory away from securi ng an automatic BCS bid and the loser of· FloridaAlabama essentially a lock to be selected. only two atlarge berths would remain. To be eligible for an atlarge BCS bid, a team must finish 14th or better in the final standings. which are • released Dec. 6. Iowa is 11th after completing its regular season Saturday with a 10-2 recor , while Big Ten counterpart Penn State is 13th after also finishing 10-2. The Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions will likel) by vying for an at-large bid with sixth-place Boise ·State, which is two victories away from a 13-0 regular season but would be unable · to gain an automatic bid if it finishes behind TCU. Oklahoma State (9-2) from the Big 12 is in 12th place with its regular-season finale at Oklahoma on Saturday. The Cowboys need a victory to keep their hopes for an at-large bid alive. Virginia Tech (8-3) is 14th and has to be considered the longest shot to receive a bid. even if it finishes its regular season by beating Virginia on Saturday. No automatic bids to conference champions will be clinched this week, but fi\'e conference titles and BCS bids will be decided by five games the following week. Oregon and Oregon State meet in Eugene on Dec. 3. with the winner earning the Pac-1 0 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. The loser is essentially eliminated from BCS contention. Cincinnati is at Pittsburgh on Dec. 5 in what has turned into a Big East conference championship game. Both teams play this week (Pitt visits West Virginia on Friday. the same day Cincinnati hosts Illinois in a nonconference game). If the Bearcats and Panthers both finish 11-1. the loser of their game would definitely be in the running for an at-large bid. Florida and Alabama both face big rivalry games thb week, with the Gators taking on Florida State and the Crimson Tide playing at Auburn. Upsets in those games could keep the SEC champion ·out of the BCS title game. Texas plays at Texas A&M on Thursday before facing Nebraska in the Big 12 title game. A Joss in either could keep the Longhorns from playing for a national championship, but like Alabama and Florida, the Longhorns don't need to win the conference title to end up in a BCS game. The Cornhuskers · only route to the BCS is to win .the Big 12. Georgia Tech (11-1 ). sev enth in the BCS standings. play Georgia on Saturday and can earn an automatic bid by beating Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game on Dec. 5. The Yellow Jackets would likely remain eligible for an at-large bid even with a loss in the conference title game. Like Nebraska, Clemson needs to win the conference to get into the BCS. COLUMBUS (1\P) David Lighty scored a career-high 22 points and Evan Turner had his second tri pie-double of the season to lead No. 17 Ohio State past Lipscomb 84-64 on Tuesday night. Turner. who missed his first five shots, finished with 16 points, I 0 rebounds and ll assists. In the season opening 100-60 win over Alcorn State, he flick<+! up only the second recorded triple-dm1ble at Ohio State with 14 points. 17 rebouhds and 10 assists. Jon Diebkr added 17 points , Dallas Lauderdale 13 points and Jeremie Simmons I I points for Ohio State (41). Adnan Hodzic scored 18 points and l\-lichael Tdlcr added II for Ltpscomh (04). which was chasing its second straight win over a Big Ten team . The Bisons beat Indiana 74-69 la:-.t December, Lighty was one of the fe\\ Buckeyes who played well offensively all night. They appeared to be heavy-legged and listless after rl!turning home from splitting two games at Madbon Square Garden last week while finishing third in the 2K Sport~ Classic. Lighty hit 9 of I 4 shots from the field and matched his career high with three 3pointcrs in as many attempts. He also had seven rebounds. StilL the Buckeyes were out of S) nch most of (he night· de:-.pite shooting 58 percent from the field. They hit j~st 7 of 17 free throws, n'!akmg just one of their first mne. Lauderdale got a loud ovation from the crowd of 11.555 at Value Citv Arena when he hit both free throw~ with 3:48 left. To thut point. he was I for 6 at the line. Lipscomb, which came in giving up 93 points a game. more than held its own for most of the game. The Bison never led in the second but refused to let Ohio State pull away. The Buckeyes. ahead by nine at the half, scored the first six points after the break on a Turner steal and layup, a Lighty rebound follow and a Lighty tip. But thl! Bison got as close as eight points and stayed within a dozen until the final" few minutes. The Bisons hung with the Buckeyes throughout ~ first half while Turner ~t gled. Diebler hit two late s to help Ohio State take a 3627 lead. Turner missed his first five shots from the field and his only points of the half came on a left-handed layup \vhile being fouled with I :35 left in the half. He then missed the free throw. Lipscomb fell to 0-3 against ranked opponents. WEDNESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE 6 7 8 10 11 12 For.fast results, advertise in The Daily Sentinel classifieds! ·. . . ~-~~~ -=-..

Eric Mangini believes there may have been some other deception. On Monday, Cleveland's embattled coach questioned whether Detroit's defensive players faked injuries to slow down the Browns' nohuddle offense, which racked up a season-high 439 yards during a 38-37 loss. Mangini dido 't flatly accuse the Lions of cheating, but noted the high number of players who were helped from the field only to return. ''I'm just saying there were a lot of them (injuries)," he said. Mangini's suggestion of foul play was rebuffed by Lions coach Jim Schwartz. "He's way out of bounds on that," Schwartz said. "That couldn't be further from the truth. Both teams ·were running no huddle, and the officials did a very good job of standing over the ball, so there was no need to do that." It isn't the first time Mangini, who worked with Schwartz when the two began their coaching careers under Bill Belichick in Cleveland, has pointed a cntical finger at a friend. When he coached in New York, Mangini accused Belichick and the New England Patriots of videotaping the Jets' defensive signals during the 2007 season opener. The episode, now known infamously as "Spygate," damaged Mangini's relationship with his mentor. Mangini first raised the possibility that the Lions were pretending to be hurt during his postgame news conference. "There were multiple, multiple, multiple injuries throughout our no-huddle process," . Mangini said Sunday. Browns wide receiver Chansi Stuckey supported Mangini's theory that the Lions were faking. According to the official play-by-play, there were six instances - with five different players - where a Detroit player went down with an injury during the no- zone at the end of the game. a penalty that gave the Lions one more play from Cleveland's 1-yard line. With no time on the clock, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who had injured his left shoulder on the previous play, threw his fifth touchdown pass and Detroit kicked the extra point for its · second win in 26 games. Browns defensive back Hank Poteat was called for pass interference on Stafford's jump-ball throw, which began wtth the rookie scrambling far to the left and cutting back right. Cleveland's coaches and players felt that because Stafford was out of the pocket that contact downfield was permitted. "I can't control that call," Mangini said. "I haven't been a part of any calls like that, I haven't seen it called, where it affected the outcome of a game like it did. It's really not illegal contact when the guy's out of the pocket or scrambling. But they called it." Mangini was asked if Poteat, who had his back to Stafford, may have been flagged because the contact occurred while the ball was in the air. "Yeah, I guess that's what they called it for," he said. "I haven't seen it, haven't been a part of it. It's their call. We '11 live with it." In addition, Mangini thought the Lions (2-8) should have been called for excessive celebration on Stafford's TD toss and that Detroit should have been assessed a 15-yard penalty before Jason Hanson kicked the game-winning extra point. After the score, Lions tight ends coach Tim Lappano ran across the field to hug players. "There was a lot of celebrating going on after the play, coaches out on the field ... excessive celebration," Mangini said. "I thought that was a penalty, too, but that that didn't called. That's a 15-yard penalty. there's a big difference in the extra point." On that point, Schwartz agreed with Mangini. "He's probably right aboui: 9. that," Schwartz said. "But I He also felt the officiating don't think Jason was comcrew made an incorrect pass ing to come up short on a interference call in the end 35-yard extra point." huddle and then returned. "Definitely," Stuckey said. "I knew that. That's what their coach does. If someone tries to do that (no huddle) to us. I would expect our guys to do the same thing. Unless it gets into that under twominute situation where that causes a timeout, any other time it's fine and I would do the same thing. Stuckey said the injury ruse can be effective in slowing down a hurry-up attack. "Once you're going, those defensive linemen can't run in and off the field," he said. "They're getting tired, they do four, five pass rushes in a row, they're getting tired, so someone has to do something like that to try to slow us down and stop the rhythm and try to get some fresh guys on the field.'' Lions linebacker Larry Foote was offended by Mangini's veiled charge that Detroit was cheating. ''We've been getting banged up all season,'' Foote said. "It doesn't matter if teams play the no-huddle or not. I don't know what is going on (with the injuries). Maybe we need to drink different water. Coach Mangini just needs to stop making comments about our team." Mangini said he has not spoken to Schwartz about the matter. He was asked if the NFL's competition committee should look into stopping the practice of players pretending to be hurt, a ploy that has been used in the past. "It's subjective," he said. "How do you know what is and isn't an injury?" Mangini was asked if it would be upsetting if a friend like Schwartz would bend the rules to give his team an advantage. "It's, urn," Mangini said, pausing to choose his words carefully. "There's no penalty and, urn, maybe all those guys were legitimately injured. I haven't talked to him about it. Everybody makes that decision." The possibility that the Lions duped the officials wasn't the only thing bugging Mangini, whose team blew a 24-3 lead to fall to 1- AP photo Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla., Sunday. .Yanks' Damon helps Johnson celebrate Cup crown NEW YORK (AP) Johnny Damon knows how difficult it can be to win a championship. After all. it took him four years to finally win the World Series with the Yankees. That's why even he marvels at Jimmie Johnson, who wrapped up an unprecedented fourth consecutive Cup championship on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. "We haven't seen that in baseball in a very long time," Damon said Tuesday, during a ceremony honoring Johnson at the Empire State Building. "I believe in NASCAR it could be tougher, because every week these guys are going for you. It's kind of like putting on the pinstripes." Johnson was at Yankee Stadium for Game 1 of the World Series. then watched from afar as the Yankees clinched their record 27th world championship by defeatin~ the Philadelphia Phillies m Game 6. Johnson would have liked to see a couple more games, but he was too busy chasing his own record. He finally returned to New York this week for another whirlwind celebration filled with interviews, morning show appearances, photogra- phers and other commitments. In the grand entrance to the Empire State Building, Johnson flipped the switch as if changmg gears in his car - that lit the top of the skyscraper in the familiar blue, yellow and white colors of his Hendrick Motorsports team. He also received a proclamation from the mayor's office desi~ating "Jimmie Johnson Day ' in a city where many people don't even own cars. "The most dominant driver of the decade finished fifth in the season's final race when 25th would have sufficed. He's been in NASCAR's top division for eight years and already his title total trails only the seven won by Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. The 34-year-old Californian also gave team owner Rick Hendrick his record 12th overall championship. "Rick's personality is he doesn't want to feel like the big dog," Johnson said. "He has the mindset he wants to pull for the underdog, because he wants to keep thinking he's the underdog. And he's not." Sound familiar? "When we step on the field, we know everybody is giving us their best shot," Damon said, referring to the Yankees. ''It's the same way with them." Damon grew up in Orlando and became a NASCAR fan while watching thousands of fans make pilgrimages to Daytona. As the sport exploded over the past few years an~ fresh faces like Johnson can onto the scene, Damo became even more enamored of the sport. · He's been called the NASCAR version of Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Lance Armstrong. Damon instead compared him to Michael Jordan and John Wooden, who took entire teams and made them into champions. Along with crew chief Chad Knaus, the No. 48 team may only be getting better. Johnson signed a five-year deal to drive for Hendrick through 2015. and Knaus has confidently predicted the same rate of success for the next several years. The team won seven races in 2009, including four during the 10race Chase, and has won 18 of 60 Chase races since the format began. "They played 'We are the Champions,"' Johnson ! a· t • "and you know what? song doesn't really me much until you're a champion." NASCAR wants France info kept from Mayfield CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) NASCAR has asked a federal court to stop lawyers for suspended driver Jeremy Mayfield from collecting information from the ex-wife of chairman Brian France. Mayfield's attorneys subpoenaed Megan France last week requesting documents about a lawsuit filed against her by Brian France. The attorneys also asked for joint tax returns and mail addressed to Brian France. NASCAR filed a motion in U.S. District Court on Monday asking that Megan France be barred from producing the documents. The Frances were divorced in April 2008, and Brian France sued his ex-wife in North Carolina Superior Court in September of that year. All documents relating to that case were sealed in December. "They are attempting to jmproperly bring private, irrelevant information concerning Mr. France's domestic relations into this litigation as a means of retaliation," NASCAR claimed in its filing. Mayfield was suspended May 9 for failing a random drug test. N ASCAR said the test was positive for methamphetamine, but Mayfield has denied using the illegal drug. He's now suing NASCAR over the suspension. which he claims has ruined his career. Mayfield in October hired high-profile attorney Mark Geragos to help him with his suit against NASCAR, and Geragos told the court he wants to hold a deposition of .Megan France on Dec. 4 the same day as NASCAR 's awards ceremony in Las Vegas. NASCAR asked the court to order that Megan France's deposit10n not be held before Dec. 14 because the date Geragos selected is ''on a day when neither NASCAR's corporate representatives nor Mr. France can attend." Asked last weekend about Geragos' attempt to involve his ex-wife in the Mayfield case, France answered: "Nothing surprises me with trial lawyers in the 21st century. They are an amazing group of people." His comments came the same day Mayfield was auctioning off his belongings back in North Carolina. Mayfield said the auction was part hobby, but also a means to pay his mounting legal bills. Mayfield's former representation claims Mayfield owes the firm a significant amount of money, but Mayfield said Charlottebased Bill Diehl has been paid. MORE LOCAL NEWS. MORE LOCAL FOLKS.
