BRIEFS

Van Wert County first in Ohio to be named a Connected Community

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor [email protected] VAN WERT Van Wert County celebrated a first on Wednesday. The county became the first certified Connected community in Ohio, meaning the county is the first to score high enough to obtain the rating. That was accomplished with the addition of fiber networks which increases connectivity and speed. The certification was made by Connect Ohio, an organization promoting bringing affordable high-speed Internet and broadband to everyone in the state. Van Wert County 911 Coordinator Kim Brandt accepted the certification on behalf of the team that helped complete the assessment. She recapped a few of the benefits to bringing in another broadband fiber line to back up the new fiber line, including improved service in county offices and the resulting savings on expenses. Brandt also pointed out that the broadband service made it possible for Van Wert High School to broadcast city council meetings on local access television and allows Van Wert Municipal Court Judge Jill Leatherman to hold required arraignment hearings by video connection, saving transportation of prisoners to the courtroom and any possible problems with the prisoners. Brandt went on to describe the future benefits, saying, The end result will be a step toward NG911 (Next Generation 911) implementation, improved government services for residents, continued savings for taxpayers and the possibility of lowered costs to residents for high-speed Internet and phone services. She also noted a very important driving force for this program. It will make Van Wert County more attractive for business, stated Brandt. Stu Johnson, Connect Ohio executive director, highlighted the message this dedication to high-speed Internet and broadband

Putnam County officers join national crackdown to reduce drunk driving fatalities
Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign targets drunk drivers
Information submitted such as Labor Day, are particularly dangerous. During the Labor Day weekend in 2011, a total of 138 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes involving drivers or motorcycle riders with BACs of .08 g/dL or higher. Of those fatalities, 83 percent occurred during early evening and overnight, from 6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.

connections will give to prospective companies eyeing Van Wert County as a new home. These companies realize that technology capabilities and realities are infrastructure like roads and utilities and they are sure to want superior technology availability. We all know the demand is there. The providers know the demand is there. Its going crazy, exclaimed Johnson. The demand is here right now and investment is being made right now. That is going to continue, but where is it going to be directed? Its going to be directed to communities that get it. Communities that understand. Communities that embrace it. Communities who have done the work and go out and say, Were here to play. This report tells the rest of the world that Van Wert is ready to play. The fact that this status is a great economic development tool was repeated several times during the Wednesday morning meeting. However, there is still work to do, according to the report based on the assessment. There are still areas that need improvement, but enough progress has already been made to garner the certification. Besides being the first certified community in Ohio, Van Wert County is only the ninth certified community in the United States. Highlights in the countys assessment included availability of computers for the public in places like the Brumback Library and the Council on Aging, extensive competition of broadband providers with 18 offering services and a large percentage of county businesses with websites. The statistics shown Wednesday are a huge step forward from a 2007 study. In that examination, only nine providers offered broadband services and speeds were only slightly faster than the state average. At that time almost three out of five respondents said they did not need broadband or did not understand the benefits, and 20 percent stated broadband was unavailable at their residences. Only 72 percent of county residents even had computers at that point with only 64 percent had Internet service.

Elsie the Cow coming to VW Sunday

Information submitted VAN WERT A special visitor is coming to the Van Wert Historical Society from 2-4:30 p.m. Sunday. A brown-eyed Jersey cow by the name of Elsie will visit the Red Barn on the campus of the Historical Society. She will be the highlight of our new special display featuring Van Werts Borden Cheese factory memorabilia. The real Elsie the Cow first became the spokesperson for Bordens dairy products in the early 1930s as a cartoon figure and went on to be featured in movies and TV commercials. Elsies first public display was at the 1939 New York Worlds Fair when she became a fixture in the Bordens display. Reminiscent of that display, on display are restored furniture pieces from Elsies last visit to the Van Wert County Fair in 1951. Be sure to also check out items and pictures from Van Werts Borden Cheese Factory. The new display and Elsie the Cows visit is cosponsored by the Van Wert County Dairy Services. In honor of this display, the Van Wert County Dairy Services will provide free ice cream to visitors while supply lasts. Visitors to the Van Wert County Fair are encouraged to visit the Van Wert County Historical Societys display in the Agricultural Building to relive more memories of the Van Wert Borden Cheese Company plant.

OTTAWA From midAugust through Labor Day, local police will be out in force as part of the annual nationwide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on drunk driving. The crackdown, which will include high-visibility enforcement throughout Putnam County, started Wednesday and will run through Sept. 2. The effective nationwide drunk driving crackdown includes high-visibility enforcement, high-profile events and will be supported by national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb drunk driving in August and through the Labor Day holiday weekend. Deputies and other law enforcement officers from Putnam County will aggressively look for drunk drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving drunk. Although it is illegal in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive drunk (having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher), far too many people across the nation get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. The latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration underscore the serious nature of the nations continuing drunk driving epidemic. Every year, about one third of all motor vehicle traffic deaths involve one or more drunk drivers or motorcycle operators, said Mike Klear, Putnam County Safe Communities Coalition. In 2011, 9,878 people died in crashes involving drunk drivers. That works out to approximately one drunk driving fatality every 53 minutes. Klear added that holidays,

Drunk driving takes a particularly heavy toll among young drivers. Among 18- to 34-yearold drivers killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes during the 2011 Labor Day weekend, 42 percent were alcohol-impaired. Research has shown that high-visibility enforcement like the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign reduces drunk driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. By joining this nationwide effort, we will make Putnam Countys roadways safer for everyone throughout the Labor Day period, said Siefker.

We want to remind everyone that getting behind the wheel drunk is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, not only does drinking impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely, it also impairs your judgment and good sense about whether you can or should drive. If you have any doubt about your sobriety, do not get behind the wheel. If you do chose to drive impaired, you will be arrested. No warnings. No excuses, Siefker stated. Siefker noted that being arrested for driving drunk brings a wide range of negative consequences into ones life. Drunk drivers face jail time, loss of their driver licenses and steep financial consequences, such as higher insurance rates, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work and the potential loss of job. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators also often face tremendous personal embarrassment. Driving drunk is simply not worth the risk. So dont take the chance. Remember, we will be out in force and we will be watching, so Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, said Siefker.

It was a blunt, honest, raw question and Deacon Greg Kandra knew it would stir deep emotions and fierce arguments among Catholic readers. The questions originator, a Catholic mother of six, stressed that she sincerely wanted to know: Why dont parents take screaming babies out of church? Nearly 200 online comments later -- with Kandra moderating comments to keep the dialogue constructive -- legions of Catholic writers are still airing their screaming babies differences at his The Deacons Bench website and elsewhere online. The author of the original letter added: When I politely ask the parent of a screaming child why they refuse to leave Mass so they dont disrupt it for everyone else, they get angry at me! ... There were four screamers at the morning Mass -- every Saturday the same families show up with screaming babies AND STAY in the chapel with them! People have expressed their desire that they leave the kids at home, but they dont. Reactions on the other side were just as harsh, with Catholics expressing anger at those who glare at parents who bring noisy toddlers to church, allowing their children to act up Sunday after Sunday. Jesus embraced children, folks, and so

About those screaming babies in Mass

On Religion
does our church, read one typical response. If you dont want to hear them cry, the solution is not to remove the holy little ones from the church. The solution is for you to go to the 7 a.m. quickie Mass or the solemn high Mass that takes three hours. Find a Mass kids arent going to and shut yourself up in that one. Catholics on one side accuse the others of being too judgmental. Then Catholics on the other side -- often from earlier generations -- argue that todays parents are not sensitive to the needs of others or strict enough when disciplining their children. Believers on both sides insist that they are defending the holiness of the Mass itself, as well as its role in the lives of their children. Part of the problem, noted Kandra, is that Catholics on both sides have grown up in an era in which it is far too easy to become lazy

and spoiled, often jumping from parish to parish seeking the right fit for their personal tastes and prejudices. What if their current parishs Mass schedule doesnt fit a childs soccer schedule? Why should we be surprised, noted Kandra by email, when they cant abide something as normal -- and as intrusive -- as a babys crying? ... Its vexing, and more than a little ironic, that a church that climbs on soapboxes and carries banners and prays endless rosaries in defense of life can be so intolerant of life when its in the pew behind you, bawling. I still like what one priest said: A church without crying babies is dead. Let the babies come and cry. Thats a sign of life. Still, its crucial to note that almost everyone agrees that priests need to ask the faithful to maintain some sense of decorum and discipline during services, noted Erin Manning, who posted during the original screaming babies debate, as well as on her own And Sometimes Tea website. It isnt safe, for example, to let little children wander around the sanctuary during services. But in the end, one persons screaming baby is another persons child who is merely crying for a few minutes before slipping into a nap. There are also parents who hesitate to

rush misbehaving children to the parish cry room, where other kids may literally be playing with stacks of toys and ignoring the service altogether, Manning said via email. Most of all, its crucial for experienced parents to pass along what they know to parents in the next generation -- many of whom were raised in smaller families and, thus, never learned how to care for younger siblings. Its easy to forget that many of todays young parents are not only relying on daycare, etc., but grew up in it themselves, said Manning. In churches today we have secondand even some third-generation parents who honestly dont know what sort of discipline is possible with young children or how to instill it. As the second oldest of nine children I knew ... that discipline was possible and required only patience, consistence and the willingness to keep trying even on days when nothing seemed to be going right.

Bulldogs beat Blue Jays in final football tune-up

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer [email protected] DELPHOS Football coaches want to see progress in their teams between the first and second scrimmages in tuning up for their season opener. St. Johns head coach Todd Schulte wanted to see more from his players than he apparently saw as the Blue Jays fell 21-14 to Celina Thursday afternoon/evening at Stadium Park. We played as we practiced all week; we didnt have a good week of practice. We didnt get a lot done that we needed to, Schulte said. We didnt come out of the locker room ready to play. You cannot do that any time. Going game situation with a 12-minute clock from the get-go, Celina started from the 35 and drove the distance in 11 plays, scoring on a 9-yard touchdown toss. They added the unrushed point-after at 9:20. Celina turned it over on downs at the Blue Jays 15 but got the ball back on an interception at the host 32. Once more, the St. Johns defense held and got the ball back on downs at its 5. St. Johns forced its only turnover in the second period as junior Austin Heiing picked a pass off in the end zone.

St. Johns defenders Jordan Mohler (21), Alex Haunhorst (75), Cody Looser (11) and Jason Wittler (70) wrap up a Celina runner during Thursday nights scrimmage at Stadium Park. (Delphos Herald/Dena Martz) on the board at 6:19 in the second period. Senior Andy May tied it at 7-7. Celina retaliated immediately with a 67-yard touchdown pass and added the PAT at 5:36. After an interception by the Bulldogs, their kicker missed a 22-yard field goal at 3:15. The Jays stalled at the Celina 23 on downs with 1:16 left in the half, effectively ending it. The hosts tied it at 8:36 of the third period as MacLennan tore off a 65-yard scoring run and May added the kick. Celina got the winner on a 25-yard scoring pass at 5:07 and successfully converted the point-after. We got better as it went on but we cant wait to start playing like that, Schulte added. Celina is a good team, no question. Some of what happened was that they are a good team but it was also that we got tired; we have been harping all camp about the need to be in shape and also play tired.

Browns Little knows he has to slow down driving

Associated Press season opener. Little, 24, isnt the only Browns player to recently break the law for speeding. Fellow wide receiver Josh Gordon was cited for driving 98 mph on Aug. 13, at least his second offense since May. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he reprimanded Little and Gordon, who is suspended from Clevelands first two regular-season games for violating the NFLs drug policy. Chudzinski would not reveal whether he disciplined the players but added both seemed remorseful and recognize the potential severity of their thoughtless actions. We take that seriously, Chudzinski said. Its not acceptable. Ive sat down with both of those guys individually and talked to them and addressed that with them as well as with the team. All these guys are guys that are learning how to mature. Were working to build a locker room and a team and a foundation of guys accountable and thats what being a Brown is going to be all about. Risky behavior on vehicles is nothing new for the Browns. Kellen Winslow (2005) and Marcus (2011) both had nearfatal motorcycle accidents. Chudzinski said the violations by Little and Gordon will not affect their playing time Saturday when the Browns play Indianapolis. Beyond the violations, Little, who has

Were facing a gut-check time for some of these guys and maybe now they will get what were trying to tell them. As well, were piecing together an offense and defense because of injuries. That can happen any Friday night, so we have to be ready for that; everybody has to prepare like they will play. The fourth quarter belonged to the junior varsity units and neither team scored. The Jays open the new season Aug. 30 at Elida.

BEREA Browns wide receiver Greg Little knows he has to slow down. Its the only option. His career and perhaps his life depends upon it. Little vowed Thursday to act more responsibly after it was revealed that he wrecked his car driving 127 mph more than 70 mph over the legal speed limit in April, an incident and decision he called mindless. Little was cited for drag racing after crashing his expensive, high-performance Audi into a guardrail, taking out a light pole and leaving more than 40 yards of brake tracks, according to a police report. Little and a passenger were uninjured in the single-car accident, which records say took place at 2:47 a.m. He said he understands his behavior was unacceptable and realizes hes lucky to have survived. Its obviously something that Ive got to take very seriously and slow my speeds down and be cautious of others on the road, Little said following practice. I could have seriously put my life and other lives in danger. It was a pretty traumatic experience and its something that I learned from and Im just trying to move forward and just learn from it. Little was fined $350. Although Little vowed to change his behavior, earlier this week he was ticketed for driving 81 mph in a 60-mph zone and expired license plates. Hes due in court on Sept. 4 four days before Clevelands

Stadler finishes long day in the lead at Barclays

Associated Press JERSEY CITY, N.J. Kevin Stadler teed off just after breakfast and finished right before dinner. It took him nearly 11 hours to complete a 7-under 64 at Liberty National, his lowest score on the PGA Tour since the first week of February. And he still isnt guaranteed to be the first-round leader at The Barclays. The FedEx Cup playoffs got off to a soggy start Thursday with two rain delays that lasted six hours. It was a start-again, stop-again day on the bank of the Hudson River that didnt stop Stadler. He ran off three birdies early, then returned from the second delay and threw in four more birdies on a soft golf course. Asked if it was difficult to stay mentally prepared, Stadler replied, Im never really mentally prepared. Same as usual. It was all good. Tiger Woods, the No. 1 player in the world and in this playoff series, came out of the first delay by missing a short birdie putt on the par-5 13th and then rolling in three straight birdies to get into the mix. He cooled slightly after the slightly longer second delay and failed to make birdie on any of the par 5s in his round of 67. Woods didnt mind the long day. He was more concerned about the next long day on the horizon. Only the top half of the draw finished the round. The later starters Ben Crane played only two holes were to resume the round this morning and then go straight to the second round. That left the top half facing extra holes on Saturday to get the tournament caught up. Were done, Woods said. It was a long day and tomorrow will be a short one. And then Saturday will be pretty much a marathon. British Open champion Phil Mickelson and Masters champion Adam Scott were among those who didnt finish. PGA champion Jason Dufner had a 71, while U.S. Open champion Justin Rose recovered from a double bogey on the par-5 13th for a 68. Camilo Villegas, who started the season with conditional status and is No. 110 in the FedEx Cup standings, ran off four straight birdies around the turn and was the only player to reach 8 under for now until back-to-back bogeys late in his round. He had a 65, along with Henrik Stenson and Ryan Palmer. Jason Day and Matt Kuchar shot 66. Day made two bogeys that kept a good round from getting away from him. His ball dropped over the rocks and into the water to the left of the fifth green and he got up-and-down from there. On his closing hole,

been stopped at least four times for traffic offenses in the Cleveland area since December, twice had warrants issued for his arrest after failing to appear in court. Little said he notified the Browns immediately after the crash in April. It was really just a mindless effort on my behalf and just not thinking at all, just being careless of the, you know, there are laws in place on the roads and just not abiding by them, Little said. In explaining his most recent violation, Little added he was driving with the flow of traffic and didnt realize how fast he was doing. Its part of a troubling pattern for Little, who was issued 93 parking tickets on multiple vehicles with nine different license plates while he was at North Carolina. Gordon, who was cited driving 45 in a 25-mph zone and failed to appear in court, was not in the locker room during the period it was open to the media. Browns linebacker DQwell Jackson said his message to his young teammates is simple. Youve got to slow down, he explained. Now, everything (Little) does is going to be talked about and written about. The last thing you want is something bad to happen out there. Littles off-the-field missteps seem to contradict talk that he has matured and brought an unfavorable light on the Browns, a team trying to shed a losing image. We want to talk about football, Jackson added. We dont want to talk about any other distractions.

Wild pitches help Reds edge Diamondbacks 2-1

Associated Press CINCINNATI Shin-Soo Choo scored in the eighth inning on Arizonas fourth wild pitch of the game and the Cincinnati Reds raced to an improbable 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Choo scored both Cincinnati runs, helping the Reds to their third win in the four-game series. Cincinnati (73-55) improved to a season-high 18 games over .500 and increased its lead over Arizona to seven games in the race for the National Leagues second wild-card playoff spot. Choo singled to lead off the eighth against reliever Eury De La Rosa (0-1) and moved to second when De La Rosas pickoff attempt rolled away from first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Todd Frazier sacrificed Choo to third and Choo scored when ball four to Joey Votto was a wild pitch. Mat Latos (13-4) went eight innings for the win. In his previous three starts, Latos (13-4) had received only five runs of offensive support. He made the most of two runs on Thursday, allowing just one run and five hits to Arizona. Latos struck out seven, didnt walk anyone and hit one batter with a pitch. Sam LeCure gave up two hits in the ninth but managed to earn his first career save. Arizona starter Trevor Cahill, in his second start since coming off the disabled list, allowed four hits and one run. He walked three, struck out seven and threw three wild pitches all in the third inning. Cahill allowed two hits but still faced the minimum 12 bat-

the par-4 ninth, his drive went deep into the bushes and forced him to take a penalty drop. He got onto the green and made another bogey. The rain allowed for some low scoring at Liberty National, which hosted The Barclays in 2009 and produced a winning score of 9 under. The course also went through significant changes to soften some of the landing zones and green complexes. Plus, there is virtually no rough. Nothing allows for low scoring quite like soft conditions, however. Nearly half of those who finished their rounds shot in the 60s. That group might have included Rory McIlroy, except for a few loose swings. He had three double bogeys and still managed a 71. McIlroy blasted out of a bunker and over the 15th green. His approach found the water on No. 5. And his tee shot on the ninth took a wicked kick off the cart path, over the bushes and a fence and out-of-bounds. Stadler needed a good start. He hasnt had a top 10 since New Orleans in late April and started these playoffs at No. 87. Only the top 100 advance to the second tournament next week outside Boston and the top 70 from there go on to the third event in Chicago. Ive had a pretty lousy summer,but really started hitting the ball a lot better a couple of weeks ago and was looking forward to playing some golf again here recently, he said. Finally got something out of it today. Stadler has not played in any of the World Golf Championship and only one of the majors the PGA Championship, where he missed the cut so this event feels like a big one. It also happens to have arguably the strongest and deepest field on the PGA Tour, particularly since everyone earned a spot based on this years play. All those guys are here this week, so in that regard, its pretty cool, he added. But its just another week. Stenson last year started the FedEx Cup playoffs at No. 117 and was gone after one week. He is one of the hottest players in golf, having been runner-up at the British Open, the Bridgestone Invitational and he was third at the PGA Championship. He is No. 9 in the standings this year and his 65 on a long Thursday showed why. I came in from Europe on Monday night, so Im a bit jetlagged and I only saw the course once, Stenson said. Im very pleased with the way I played out there and took advantage of some good shots. And it was a little bit of a shaky finish. He missed a short par putt on the par-5 eighth hole and had to make a 6-footer for par on the last.

ters over his final four innings, with help from a caught stealing and a double-play ball. In the third, the Reds put runners in second and third with one out. Brandon Phillips cashed in the opportunity with a runscoring groundout for a 1-0 lead. Cahill entered the game with 11 wild pitches this season and now has a major league-high 14. The Diamondbacks took a more conventional route in getting even 1-1 in fourth. Adam Eaton and Goldschmidt led off with singles, Arizonas first hits off of Latos. Martin Prado hit into a double play but Aaron Hill rapped a sharp 1-hopper that third baseman Frazier couldnt handle. Hill was credited with a run-scoring infield hit. NOTES: Cincinnati RHP Jonathan Broxton is expected to have surgery after he was placed on the disabled list with a strained right forearm. The Reds moved RHP Johnny Cueto to the 60-day disabled list to open a roster spot for RHP Nick Christiani, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville. Arizona C Miguel Montero was 1-for-2 with a double and a walk. INF Willie Bloomquist was 2-for-3 with a run scored on Wednesday while on rehab assignments with the teams rookie-level Arizona League affiliate. See CAPSULE, page 7

Ohio State to pay non-conference foes $3.1 million

By RUSTY MILLER Associated Press COLUMBUS Ohio State will pay more than $3 million to Buffalo, San Diego State and Florida A&M to come to Ohio Stadium for games against the Buckeyes this fall. Through a request from The Associated Press, Ohio States athletic department released figures that show it is paying Buffalo $1 million to be the opposition in the Aug. 31 opener, San Diego State $1.2 million to play in the game on Sept. 7 and FAMU, a Football Championship Subdivision opponent, $900,000 to come to Columbus for the game on Sept. 21. The Buckeyes other non-conference game is at California on Sept. 14. Ohio States eight Big Ten games do not require a guaranteed contract. Heres the 2013 Buckeyes, by the numbers: Heres a look at the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes, by the numbers: 4,580,597, in dollars, a conservative tabulation of how much Urban Meyer will make for coaching Ohio State in the 2013 season. That figure does not include any academic or performance bonuses (winning a Big Ten division or conference title, playing in a BCS bowl or the national championship game), but does include the universitys $450,000 payment to Meyer just for remaining coach through Jan. 31, 2014. The numbers include a $700,000 base salary, $1.8 million under media contracts, $1.4 million from the Nike equipment contract, $14,400 for car leases, $12,848 in football tickets, $1,875 in parking passes for football games, $1,274 for two mens basketball season tickets and $200 for a parking pass to watch Thad Mattas team in action. 3,100,000, in dollars, what Ohio State will pay its three non-conference opponents to come to Ohio Stadium this season. Buffalo (Aug. 31) gets $1 million, San Diego State (Sept. 7) gets $1.2 million and Florida A&M (Sept. 21) receives $900,000. 1.3 million, in 1922 dollars. Cost to build Ohio Stadium. 106,102, the largest crowd ever at The Horseshoe, just last season against Nebraska (a 63-38 win). 9,922, in miles, how far Columbus, Ohio, is from the Geelong, Australia, home of Buckeyes freshman P Cameron Johnston. 3,310 yards, a school record for total offense in a season, by QB Braxton Miller in 2012. 404, wins by the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium since its opening (against 109 losses and 20 ties). 171, in pounds, the difference in weight between the heaviest Buckeye (DL Chris Carter at 341 pounds) and the lightest (WR Devonte Butler, WR James Clark and CB Gareon Conley each weigh 170). Put another way, Carter weighs more than two of the others combined. 111, page number in the online Ohio State football media guide where former coach Jim Tressels bio resides. Its under the Legends And Greats section. Tressel is listed third among those legends, right behind Woody Hayes and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin. Theres no mention of the NCAA violations which led to his forced departure from the program in 2011. When he appeared at a game at Ohio Stadium last fall during a celebration of the 2002 national championship, he was lifted to the shoulders of his former players in the end zone while a capacity crowd gave him a loud ovation. The 2012 team, which went 12-0, did not get to play in a bowl game as a result of NCAA sanctions stemming from Tressels misdeeds. 103, in days, time the Buckeyes had off from their last practice on the eve of the Michigan game in November until they opened official workouts on March 5, the earliest documented start to spring practices ever at the school. 79, in dollars, cost of a single ticket to an Ohio State game this fall. 63, percent of the defensive starters gone, leaving only CB Bradley Roby, S Christian Bryant and S C.J.

average from a year ago, best in the Big Ten. 27th year in coaching for Urban Meyer. Hes 116-23 in 11 years as a head coach at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State. He also was a graduate assistant under Earle Bruce at Ohio State in 1986-87. Four of Meyers last six teams have finished in the top three in the final Associated Press rankings. 25, consecutive years that Ohio State has appeared in the APs preseason Top 25 rankings, the longest streak of any school. 14, returning starters for the Buckeyes. That includes nine on offense, four on defense and K Drew Basil. 12, in inches, difference in height between the tallest Buckeyes (6-7 OLs Jack Mewhort and Taylor Decker) and the shortest (5-7 freshman WR Devonte Butler). 6 starts in his career for H-back Jordan Hall. He sustained a cut foot and injured a knee last year, limiting him to three games started. Due to injuries and depth-chart problems, he is being counted on to be a Percy Harvin-type, run-and-catch player for the Buckeyes. Yet he had just 40 carries and 3 receptions last year and has only 24 catches for his career. 4, number of night games scheduled so far this season: at California on Sept. 14, Wisconsin at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 28, at Northwestern on Oct. 5 and Penn State at home on Oct. 26. Four night games matches the most ever for a Buckeyes team (2007, 2008, 2010). Keep in mind that if the Buckeyes make it to a major bowl game, it will most likely be at night and also that start times for four other regular-season games have yet to be determined. Ohio State is 36-20 in games starting at 5 p.m. or later at the site; 8-3 at home, 20-9 away and 9-7 at neutral sites. 3, front-line players suspended for the opener against Buffalo on Aug. 31: RB Carlos Hyde (legal problem), CB Bradley Roby (legal problem), RB Rod Smith (violation of team rules). 2, Ohio States ranking in the preseason AP Top 25. The Buckeyes ended up third a year ago in it.

A month after acknowledging he made mistakes, Ryan Braun admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his NL MVP season of 2011. The suspended Milwaukee slugger wrote in a statement released Thursday by the Brewers that he took a cream and a lozenge containing banned substances while rehabilitating an injury. It was a huge mistake for which I am deeply ashamed and I compounded the situation by not admitting my mistakes immediately, Braun wrote. Braun tested positive for elevated testosterone in October 2011 but his 50-game suspension was overturned Braun when an arbitrator ruled that the urine sample was mishandled. Braun apologized to the collector of the urine sample, his teammates and Commissioner Bud Selig. I have no one to blame but myself. I know that over the last year and a half I made some serious mistakes, both in the information I failed to share during my arbitration hearing and the comments I made to the press afterwards, Braun wrote. I have disappointed the people closest to me the ones who fought for me because they truly believed me all along. I kept the truth from everyone. For a long time, I was in denial and convinced myself that I had not done anything wrong.

Tomorrows Horoscope

HI AND LOIS

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 2013 Broaden your scope this year by getting involved in large-scale projects that will benefit your community or country. Develop ideas and solutions that will encourage others to step up and take action. The impression you make will open doors to greater prosperity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Added discipline will help you conquer whatever challenges you meet along lifes path. Adding a bit of force to get what you want will pay off. Taking action will only increase your options. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Change is inevitable, but acceptance will enable you to move in a direction that is better suited to your needs as well as your skills. Express your ideas and intentions in clear, concise language. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Learning will be key to making new acquaintances and finding unusual opportunities. Youll be especially prone to altering the way you do things at work, with positive results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Stick close to home and make a point to listen rather than dictate.

Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman

PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press FORT MEADE, Md. Three years after rocking the Pentagon by leaking a mountain of secrets, Bradley Manning created a whole new set of potential complications for the military Thursday by asking to be known as a woman named Chelsea and to undergo hormone treatment. Mannings gender-identity struggle a sense of being a woman trapped in a mans body was brought up by the defense at the court-martial, and a photo of the soldier in a blond wig and lipstick was submitted as evidence. But the latest twist, announced the morning after Manning was sentenced to 35 years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., surprised many and confronted the Pentagon with questions about where and how the Army private is to be imprisoned. The former Army intelligence analyst disclosed the decision in a statement provided to NBCs Today show. As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible, the statement read. The statement asked people to use the feminine pronoun when referring to Manning. It was signed Chelsea E. Manning and included a handwritten signature.

Obama calls for costTechnical glitch halts conscious college ratings Nasdaq trading for 3 hours
NEW YORK (AP) A mysterious glitch halted trading on the Nasdaq for three hours Thursday in the latest major electronic breakdown on Wall Street, embarrassing the stock exchange that hosts the biggest names in technology, including Apple, Microsoft and Google. The problem sent brokers racing to figure out what went wrong and raised new questions about the pitfalls of the electronic trading systems that have come to dominate the nations stock markets. Nasdaq said only that the problem lay in its system for disseminating prices and that it planned to investigate. The outage disrupted what had otherwise been a quiet summer day on Wall Street. It was another in a series of technical problems to disrupt financial markets in recent years, though less alarming than the flash crash plunge of May 2010. The market has gotten quite complex and needlessly so, said Sal Arnuk, co-founder of the brokerage Themis Trading. The Nasdaq, an exchange dominated by some of the largest, most prosperous technology companies, sent out an alert shortly after noon that said trading would stop. The Nasdaq composite index spent much of the afternoon stuck at 3,631.17. Trading resumed at 3:25 p.m. Thirty-five minutes later, the day ended with the index up 38 points, or 1 percent, at 3,638.71. Investors were not at risk of losing any money from this type of glitch, said Marty Leclerc at Barrack Yard, chief investment officer at Barrack Yard Advisors. Clearly its an annoyance, but it doesnt in any way affect the value of your underlying assets, Leclerc said. Warren Buffet used to say that if you own a stock, you ought to be comfortable with it even if the market were to close for a year. During the outage, the Nasdaq said it would not cancel any orders stuck in limbo, but that customers were free to cancel them. The stock of the exchanges parent company, Nasdaq OMX, took a hit Thursday, falling $1.08, or 3.4 percent, to close at $30.46 in heavy trading. Phil Stern, a former Securities and Exchange Commission attorney for 10 years, said Nasdaq could face significant financial penalties and other sanctions. Its pretty significant for an exchange to be shut down this long, Stern said. The disruption to the marketplace is huge. The White House, the Treasury Department and other government agencies monitored the disruption. Brad McMillan, chief investment officer of the independent brokerage Commonwealth Financial, said competition between rival exchanges for customers is partly to blame for recent trading problems. The exchanges try to bring in more business with the promise of faster trading, which makes them more reliant on new technology. PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. Targeting the soaring cost of higher education, President Barack Obama on Thursday unveiled a broad new government rating system for colleges that would judge schools on their affordability and perhaps be used to allocate federal financial aid. But the proposed overhaul faced immediate skepticism from college leaders who worry the rankings could cost their institutions millions of dollars, as well as from congressional Republicans wary of deepening the governments role in higher education. The president, speaking to a student-heavy crowd of 7,000 at the University at Buffalo, said he expected pushback from those who have profited from the ballooning cost of college. But he argued that with the nations economy still shaky and students facing increasing global competition, making college affordable is an economic imperative. Higher education cannot be a luxury, Obama said during the first stop on a two-day bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania. Every American family should be able to get it. Republicans on Capitol Hill weighed in quickly with criticism. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, cast the proposal as government overreach and suggested a state-by-state approach would be preferable. Washington needs to be careful about taking a good idea for one state and forcing all 6,000 institutions of higher education to do the exact same thing, turning Washington into a sort of national school board for our colleges and universities, Alexander said. For colleges and universities, millions of federal aid dollars could be on the line if schools are downgraded under the government rating system. However, if colleges line up against the idea of tying ratings to federal aid, the proposal would face nearly impossible odds. Almost all members of Congress have colleges or universities in their districts, and a coordinated effort to rally students and educators against the plan would probably kill it quickly.

Via surrogacy, some men opt to become single dads

Associated Press Trey Powells first name has an extra resonance these days. Though still a bachelor, he now presides over a family of three as the dad of twin daughters born six months ago via a surrogate mother. I feel so lucky every day, Powell said. At 42, hes a new addition to the ranks of men who intentionally seek the role of single father. While some opt for adoption, others yearn to have children with genetic ties and are willing to invest $100,000 or more to make that happen. There are no firm numbers of how many men have taken this route. Its clearly still a rarity, although Growing Generations, a leading for-profit surrogacy agency in Los Angeles, says its caseload of single men has risen steadily and totaled about 25 cases last year. Experts say the driving force is generally a male equivalent of the biological clock that prompts some unmarried women to have children while theyre still fertile. They say theyve always wanted to be a dad, they havent found a partner that they want to start a family with, theyre getting older and just dont want to wait the same things single women say, said Madeline Feingold, an Oakland, Calif., psychologist who has done extensive counseling related to surrogacy. That was the case for Powell, a pharmaceutical company executive in Seattle who spent three years futilely trying to adopt. I was in an adoption pool for a year and half, didnt get any calls and got bummed about the whole experience, he said. I just wanted to be a dad. Time was not on my side, and I didnt have the luxury of waiting for an ideal mate. Before approaching Growing Generations, Powell discussed his options at length with family members and with people whod been through surrogacy. There was a lot of self-interrogation. If something happens to me, whos going to take care of my daughters? Is this an egotistical, selfish thing? he recalled asking himself. I had to be sure it was the right thing to do. Now, he says, fatherhood is the focus of his life a transformation made easier because he often works from home and can afford a full-time nanny. That level of affluence is a virtual prerequisite for men pursuing the option of fatherhood via surrogacy. We tell people to budget $125,000 to $150,000 for a single baby, and $150,000 to $175,000 for twins, said Stuart Bell, co-owner of Growing Generations. Those figures include compensa-

WASHINGTON (AP) Has the U.S. achieved Martin Luther King Jr.s dream of a colorblind society? Fewer than half of all Americans say the country has made substantial progress in the past 50 years toward racial equality, a new poll shows. Despite a heightened sense of racial progress immediately following the 2008 election of the first black president, Americans views of black progress have waned. The study, released Thursday by the Pew Research Center, offers a mixed picture of progress five decades after King made his historic I Have a Dream speech calling for racial equality. The center is a Washington-based research organization. While large majorities of blacks and whites say the two races generally get along very well or pretty well, blacks continue to substantially lag whites when it comes to household income and net worth, and nearly 8 in 10 African-Americans say a lot of work remains to be done to reach racial equality. Blacks are more likely than other race groups to say they have been discriminated against in the past year 35 percent vs. 20 percent for Hispanics and 10 percent for whites with majorities of blacks saying they are treated less fairly than whites in dealing with police, in the courts, in local public schools or on the job.

Half of US says racial equality not yet a reality

No verdict yet in Fort Hood shooting trial Tour bus overturns along
PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press FORT HOOD, Texas The Army psychiatrist on trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood passed on his final chance to address jurors before they started deliberating Thursday, even after prosecutors insisted they hand down a verdict that would allow the death penalty. Maj. Nidal Hasan is acting as his own attorney but declined to plead his case after prosecutors finished their closing argument. When the judge told Hasan he could begin, he said: The defense chooses not to make a closing statement. The Army psychiatrist is facing numerous counts of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder for the attack, which killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others at the sprawling Army post in central Texas on Nov. 5, 2009. It was the deadliest mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base. Prosecutors laid out a detailed roadmap of their case during their closing argument, saying there was no question that Hasan planned and carried out the attack. The facts I laid out to you give you only one option, the prosecutor, Col. Steve Henricks, told jurors. The accused without a doubt without any doubt at all had a premeditated design to kill. Jurors began deliberating Thursday afternoon. After about three hours, they asked if they could review the testimony of Sgt. Mark Todd, the Fort Hood police officer who ended the rampage by shooting the gunman. In a statement submitted to the court, Todd testified that Hasan fired at him before he fired back, hit the soldier and then kicked away his gun. The judge agreed to the review, then she allowed jurors to leave for the evening. Deliberations are scheduled to resume this morning. During his brief opening statement two weeks ago, Hasan told jurors that evidence would clearly show he was the shooter. He also described himself as a soldier who had switched sides. But since then, he has sat mostly silent in his wheelchair. Hasan, who was paralyzed after he was shot during the attack, has raised few objections during the 13-day trial. He questioned only three of the nearly 90 witnesses called by prosecutors, and the only piece of evidence he submitted was an evaluation from his boss that called him a good soldier. On Thursday, military prosecutors asked jurors for a unanimous conviction on the premeditated murder charges, which would allow them to seek the death penalty the governments priority in the case. Henricks repeatedly emphasized the word premeditation, trying to dissuade the jury 13 high-ranking military officers of even considering a conviction on a lesser charge that would take the death penalty off the table. Theres no doubt the evidence you heard in this case shows he committed the offense, Henricks said. Henricks said Hasan asked for the highesttech weapon available when he went to a gun store a few months before the Nov. 5, 2009, attack, and he soon began practicing at a gun range. Hasan also used laser sights, which Henricks said established intent to kill. The prosecutor noted that the shootings, which started inside a medical building crowded with soldiers preparing to deploy, came the same day Hasans unit was at that building. Hasan was assigned to soon join the unit in Afghanistan on a six-month tour.

tion of $8,000 to $10,000 for the egg donor, and at least $25,000 for the surrogate mother who gives birth after being impregnated with an implanted embryo. Though male clients have the option of enlisting an egg donor on their own, Bell said most make their choice from a pool of women recruited by Growing Generations. The clients arent told the names of the possible egg donors, but see videos of them and learn extensive details about their health, education and genetic history. The process also entails psychological screening, plus detailed legal negotiations to minimize any chance that the egg donor or surrogate mother might claim parental rights. By the time the process is done, the aspiring fathers commitment is usually apparent, said Denise Bierly, a State College, Pa., attorney specializing in adoption and surrogacy law,

Calif. freeway; 52 hurt

LOS ANGELES (AP) A tour bus carrying gamblers to an Indian casino overturned along a Southern California freeway after sideswiping a car, injuring more than 50 people on board Thursday, authorities said. The driver made an unsafe lane change to the left, struck the car and then overcorrected to the right, California Highway Patrol Officer Elizabeth Van Valkenburgh said. The skidding bus careened through a chain-link fence and down a dirt embankment, where it came to rest on its right side between the freeway and railroad tracks. Ambulances and helicopters converged on Interstate 210 in Irwindale, about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, where firefighters laid out red, yellow and green tarps to evaluate the injured.

Report

(Continued from page 1)

State Superintendent Richard Ross told reporters ahead of Thursdays release of the first round of new scores that districts instead scored at all points on the scale. Ross said the new report cards are intended to allow parents, communities and educators to more plainly see the data about their schools so they can capitalize on strengths and improve on weaknesses. The new report card system is not a gotcha. And they need to understand that if a school or district gets a lower grade than it expected, that doesnt necessarily mean students got a poorer education there than they did the year before, Ross said. But what it does mean is that the school and district will have to work to meet new, higher

expectations. The 2013 report cards rate schools and buildings in the first nine of 18 new performance categories. Districts and buildings wont receive overall letter grades until 2015. The new letter grades are being applied to traditional public school districts and buildings, community schools, STEM schools, and college preparatory boarding schools. Performance will be assessed in areas including elementary-grade literacy, student academic performance, graduation rates, and college readiness. The phased rollout was intended to prevent schools from seeing sudden drops in their ratings as the state moves to a more rigorous evaluation system. Districts were bracing for the low grades, whatever the reason, to anger parents
