The work force includes crews who traveled from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia to help local crews and contractors repair ice storm damage. “In West Virginia, we have temporarily suspended overall restoration estimates in affected areas of the state until we are able to provide a preliminary assessment of the damages. We are providing outage-speciﬁc estimates on jobs where crews are on-site making repairs, and will resume overall restoration estimates as soon as we are conﬁdently able to do so.” At that price, with about 18.6 million Bitcoins in circulation, Bitcoin has a market value of nearly $907 billion. Bitcoin is rallying as more companies signal the digital currency could eventually gain widespread acceptance as a means of payment. The vast majority of those who have acquired Bitcoin have treated it as a commodity, like gold. “In all storm events Appalachian Power prioritizes restoration efforts to safely get the largest number of customers on in the shortest amount of time, and addresses restoration in these four steps: First, restore critical services, such as hospitals and ﬁre departments; Second, restore outages that affect large groups of customers; Third, ﬁx problems that affect smaller numbers of customers; and Fourth, make repairs that affect individual customers.” trees onto roads.

(AP) — Brad Keselowski stomped through the smoke-ﬁlled haze and eyed the destruction from another disastrous Daytona 500. His car had been sheared when it pinballed into the wall and then back into trafﬁc after a go-for-broke run for the win that ended with Keselowski pacing in anger. Keselowski took two steps and heaved his helmet at the carcass of his race car. “My body is ﬁne but my heart is broken,” Keselowski wrote on social media. He noted that “months of studying, months of tremendous car prep” and positioning himself to make a last-lap pass was still not enough to win his ﬁrst Daytona 500. This is NASCAR’s crown jewel event, the race that pays the most money and carries the most prestige. But after another ﬁreball ﬁnish endangered drivers and ruined millions of dollars in race cars, it’s hard not to wonder if the carnage is worth all this effort.

Keselowski leapfrogged from 14th place to second over the closing 25 laps, then readied himself for the winning move. He stalked teammate Joey Logano down the backstretch and with a huge push from McDowell — his peers agree that McDowell was the strongest pusher at Daytona — Keselowski ducked underneath Logano while pulling all of McDowell’s momentum with him. Logano threw a block — some argue the defensive move was too late — and it wrecked both Team Penske cars. McDowell was able to charge through the crash scene, but eight other drivers could not.

Cavs whipped by Warriors, 129-98 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 36 points in three quarters and the Golden State Warriors routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-98 on Monday night. Draymond Green tied his career high with 16 assists as the Warriors sent the Cavaliers to their eighth straight loss. Curry was 13 for 19 from the ﬂoor and 7 for 11 from beyond the arc, and sat out the fourth quarter with the outcome all but decided. The two-time MVP is averaging 37.3 points over his last six games and showing no wear and tear in a season in which he is carrying a heavy offensive burden. But Green, starting at center recently with James Wiseman and Meyer himself made sure to say it was a group decision when he announced Doyle’s hiring on Thursday. “I vetted him thoroughly, along with our general manager (Trent Baalke) and owner (Shahid Khan),” Meyer said. So thoroughly, apparently, that little more than 24 hours later Doyle had resigned from his new position — and the Jaguars had a public relations problem they could have easily done without. What changed? Well, unlike most of his time in college, somebody actually called Meyer out on something. The Fritz Pollard Alliance generally focuses on its original mission of getting more Blacks hired as NFL head coaches. But it couldn’t ignore the Kevon Looney injured, was just as crucial against the Cavaliers. He consistently found teammates cutting to the basket and led an unselﬁsh offense that piled up 34 assists. “Playing center opens the ﬂoor for him,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “When he’s playing center and handling the ball, it completely changes the chess board.” Curry is just the second guard to score at least 25 points and shoot 50% or better from the ﬁeld in 10 consecutive games since the 1970-71 season, when such data ﬁrst started being tracked. Michael Jordan is the other. Curry said his chemistry with Green plays a huge part in his success. hiring of an assistant who resigned from the University of Iowa last year after more than a dozen former players said he bullied and discriminated against them, allegations Doyle has denied. “At a time when the NFL has failed to solve its problem with racial hiring practices, it is simply unacceptable to welcome Chris Doyle into the ranks of NFL coaches,” the alliance said. “Doyle’s departure from the University of Iowa reﬂected a tenure riddled with poor judgment and mistreatment of Black players. His conduct should be as disqualifying for the NFL as it was for University of Iowa.’’ Rod Graves, a former executive with three NFL teams who is the group’s director, went a step fur- “It’s built on eight, nine years of experience that comes out whether we draw something up or just kind of feel it or see it,” Curry said. “It deﬁnitely helps just to ﬁnd open space out there and exploit how teams are going to be aggressive on me.” Collin Sexton led the Cavaliers with 23 points. Cleveland shot 38.9% from the ﬂoor and was winless on its ﬁve-game road trip. “You have to look in the mirror and be honest with yourself and see areas you can improve,” Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “And we’ve got room to grow.” The Cavaliers return to Cleveland to host San Antonio on Wednesday, the start of a fourgame homestand. ther, calling Meyer out for hiring Doyle without exploring other alternatives. “Urban Meyer’s statement, `I’ve known Chris for close to 20 years, reﬂects the good ol’ boy network that is precisely the reason there is such a disparity in employment opportunities for Black coaches.” Now Meyer can explore those alternatives as he puts together a staff in a rebuilding project in Jacksonville unlike any he ever had in college. Along the way, maybe he’ll start to ﬁgure out that coaching in the NFL is unlike any job he ever had in college, too. That he knows how to coach isn’t disputable. In 17 seasons as a college head coach, he ran up an astonishing record of 187- 32 and won three national titles at two different universities. He was basically untouchable as long as he kept winning, though Meyer did serve a threegame suspension in 2018 at Ohio State for his role in handling the domestic abuse allegations against another assistant. But the NFL is different in a lot of ways, something Meyer quickly found out. Just because he declared Doyle had been properly vetted didn’t stop the outcry as it might have in Florida or at Ohio State. Meyer, it seems, has a lot to learn about coaching at football’s top level. He didn’t do himself any favors by making it even more difﬁcult before his team has even played a game. *** ATTENTION: Plugging of Oil and Gas Wells *** Orphan Well Program Public Notice Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management February 12, 2021 Daytona -This notice will run for five (5) days- Do you have a valid interest in one of the oil and gas wells listed below, or the equipment attached to, or used in, any of these wells?

The National Weather Service was “very surprised how rapidly this storm intensiﬁed ... and at the time of night when most people are at home and in bed, it creates a very dangerous situation,” Emergency Services Director Ed Conrow said. In Chicago, a foot and a half (46 centimeters) of new snow forced public schools to cancel in-person classes for Tuesday. Hours earlier, along the normally balmy Gulf of Mexico, cross-country skiier Sam Fagg hit fresh powder on the beach in Galveston, Texas. The worst U.S. power outages were in Texas, affecting more than 4 million homes and businesses. More than 250,000 people also lost power across parts of Appalachia, and another quarter million were without electricity following an ice storm in northwest Ore- gon, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utility outage reports. Four million people lost power in Mexico. Texas ofﬁcials requested 60 generators from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and planned to prioritize hospitals and nursing homes. The state opened 35 shelters to more than 1,000 occupants, the agency said. More than 500 people sought comfort at one shelter in Houston. Mayor Sylvester Turner said other warming cen- ters had to be shut down because they lost power. After being without power since Monday, Natalie Harrell said she, her boyfriend and four kids began sheltering at a Gallery Furniture store in Houston. Harrell said the warming center at the store, owned by Jim McIngvale, has provided people with food, water and power to charge essential electronics. “It’s worse than a hurricane,” Harrell said. “I think we are going to be more days without light.” TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press erate hand-cranked submarine Today is Wednesday, Feb. 17, HL Hunley in the ﬁrst naval the 48th day of 2021.

In 2015, Vice President Joe Biden opened a White House summit on countering extremism and radicalization, saying the United States needed to ensure that immigrants were fully included in the fabric of American society to prevent violent ideologies from taking root at home. In 2018, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, told a conference in Germany that there was now “incontrovertible” evidence of a Russian plot to disrupt the 2016 U.S. election; the statement stood in stark contrast to Trump’s claim that Russian interference in his election victory was a hoax. Five years ago: A three-way feud among the GOP’s leading White House contenders escalated, with Ted Cruz daring Donald Trump to sue him for defamation and dismissing Marco Rubio’s charges of dishonesty during a CNN forum just days before South Carolina’s high-stakes primary. Travis Hittson, a former Navy crewman, was executed in Georgia for killing a fellow sailor, Conway Utterbeck. One year ago: More than 300 American cruise ship passengers, including 14 who tested positive for coronavirus, were quarantined at military bases in California and Texas after arriving from Japan on charter ﬂights. A push by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to ban the sale of assault weapons failed after some of his fellow Democrats in the state Senate balked at the proposal.

L e t ’ s t a ke a l o o k a t t h e f o u r m o s t c o m m o n t y p e s o f h e a r t d i s e a s e . Coronary Artery Disease Arrhythmia The most common type of heart diease is coronary artery disease (CAD). With CAD, the arteries that supply blood to the heart become hard and narrow. This prevents the heart from receiving the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function well. CAD is the leading cause of death in the United States. An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm. During an arrhythmia, the heart beats too fast (tachycardia), or too slow (bradycardia) or with an irregular rhythm. Atrial ﬁbrillation, commonly known as AFib, is the most common type of heart arrythmia. Heart Valve Disease Heart Failure Your heart has four valves that open and close to direct blood ﬂow through your heart. Heart valve disease occurs when there is a narrowing (stenosis), leaking (regurgitation or insufﬁciency) or improper closing (prolapse) of the valves. This type of heart disease, also known as congestive heart failure, occurs when the heart muscle is doing a poor job pumping blood through the body. Coronary artery disease and high blood pressure are two of the medical conditions that cause the heart to become too stiff or weak to function well.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Anger over Texas’ power grid failing in the face of a record winter freeze mounted Tuesday as millions of residents in the energy capital of the U.S. remained shivering with no assurances that their electricity and heat — out for 36 hours or longer in many homes — would return soon or stay on once it ﬁnally does. “I know people are angry and frustrated,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, who woke up to more than 1 million people still without power in his city. “So am I.” In all, more than 4 million customers in Texas still had no power a full day after historic snowfall and single-digit temperatures created a surge in demand for electricity to warm up homes unaccustomed to such extreme lows, buckling the state’s power grid and causing widespread blackouts. More bad weather, including freezing rain, was expected Tuesday night. The breakdown sparked growing outrage and demands for answers over how Texas — whose Republican leaders as recently as last year taunted California over the Democraticled state’s rolling blackouts — failed such a massive test of a major point of state pride: energy independence.
