Drivers beware — deer are on the move By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailytribune.com The old showring on the Rock Springs Fairgrounds is being torn down to make way for building a bigger and better facility in which to show animals at the Meigs County Fair. Construction on the new facility is expected to get underway this fall. A dedication ceremony is being planned by the Meigs County Agricultural Society for the opening day of the 2012 Meigs County Fair. The new showring will be named the Ridenour Livestock Arena in honor of the Ridenour family of Chester who donated funds to the Agricultural Society towards its construction. Most of the demolition work is being done by volunteers. Here Jeff Powell of Reedsville, an active 4-H advisor, removes roofing, while Mick Weber, Meigs FFA advisor, works with one of his students on tearing down inside bleacher supports. Several FFA members have donated time to the demolition of the showring as a community service project.

It’s breeding season for them and they’re on the move looking for mates. What you do have to worry about is having one of them come into contact with your vehicle as they rush across country roads and highways. The Ohio Department of Public Safety predicts the likelihood of a deer-vehicle collision is 1 in 121. The Department of Wildlife estimates Ohio’s current deer population at 750,000 with the highest count in central and southeastern Ohio. Deer are on the move now and it’s about to get worse. November is reported to be the top month for deer-related vehicle accidents. Motorists need to be extra cautious especially at dawn and dusk when the deer more active. Some defensive driving tips suggested by the Ohio Insurance Institute (OII) are as follows: • Be attentive when driving. No cell phones and text messaging. Slow down and watch for deer crossing signs. • Use high beam headlights when driving in deer territory. This will help to increase your vision and increase response time in the event that a deer jumps in front or at your vehicle. • If a collision with a deer is unavoidable, it is usually best not to swerve to avoid it. Brake and hold the steering wheel straight.

SEATTLE (AP) — A group of Amanda Knox supporters burst into applause and cheers Monday when they learned an Italian appeals court had thrown out the Seattle native’s murder conviction in the death of her British roommate. “It’s unreal,” John Lange, Knox’s former teacher, kept repeating after the verdict was read. With Italy nine hours ahead of Seattle, the group of about a dozen friends and supporters of Knox had gathered Sunday night at a downtown hotel to watch coverage of the court proceedings. The supporters, from the group called Friends of Amanda, perked up as a judge began reading the verdict and they breathlessly waited as the ruling was translated into English. When they learned Knox was being released after nearly four years in prison, the supporters began chanting, “She’s free!” and “We did it!” Some held hands and cried after the verdict was read. In its ruling, the Italian appeals court also cleared Knox’s co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, of murder in Meredith Kercher’s death. Tom Wright, a friend of Knox’s family, said the group wished a “safe journey” to Knox as she was being released. Supporters also expressed sympathy for the Kercher family. “This is primarily a sad occasion,” Wright said. “They lost their daughter. We’ll keep them in our prayers.” Knox and Sollecito, her former boyfriend from Italy, were convicted of murdering Kercher in 2009. Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison, Sollecito to 25. Also convicted in separate proceedings was Rudy Hermann Guede, a drifter and native of the Ivory Coast. They denied wrongdoing. Kercher, 21, shared an apartment with Knox when they were both students in Perugia. She was stabbed to death in her bedroom. Knox grew up in Seattle, attending a private Jesuit high school before going to the University of Washington. Friends of Amanda is made up of the parents of her high school classmates, her friends from college and high school, and sympathizers from around the country. It formed shortly after Knox was accused of the murder. Some of the people gathered for Knox wore T-shirts that said “Free Amanda and Raffaele.” The hotel room where they watched the proceedings featured candles and pictures of Knox, Sollecito and Kercher that supporters brought with them. John Lange remembers Knox as the modest drama student who played an orphan in the high school’s production of “Annie.” “There’s the person you know and there’s the widely varying depictions of her character largely wrong, and upsetting to those of us who know her,” Lange said. ents, Fern and Goldie Gillogly, and Everett and Geneve Lambert; aunts, Bernice and Elba McKnight, Westina and Arthur Crabtree, Helen and Joe Johnson, Elizabeth and Bryne Vaughan, and Ruth and Carl Mourning; uncles, Harold Gillogly, Paul Gaston, infant uncle Leo Dale Lambert, Kenneth Grover, Harley Haning; and cousins, Terry McKnight, Sharon Drumm, and Roger McKnight.

Dorothy Long Knox supporters cheer appeals court’s decision Paraplegic skipper lauded for saving lives at sea PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A paraplegic skipper is being credited with actions that helped save the lives of all but one friend on his pleasure fishing boat as it took on water in rough seas off Maine. The 24-foot boat, Job Site 2, swamped and rolled upside down Friday while anchored about 5 miles off Kennebunkport during a day of fishing for bluefin tuna. The outcome could have been worse if skipper Nicholas Masi III, of Biddeford, hadn’t calmly told the three other men on board to don survival suits and issued a mayday with precise coordinates, Maine Marine Patrol Sgt. Rob Beal said. Moments after Masi radioed a distress call, the boat rolled over in 4- to 5-foot seas and 63-degree water, with few other boats nearby. “If he hadn’t kept his head and radioed a distress call, it’s hard to say how long all four individuals would have been in the water,” Beal said. “You can only speculate from there.” Douglas Isenberg, 47, of Biddeford, died at the scene. Masi has used a wheelchair since he was paralyzed four years ago in an accident while working as a house builder. On Friday, he and three friends from Biddeford took his Grady-White boat to a fishing spot where they anchored for a few hours on a beautiful fall day. Around 3 p.m., the wind and seas kicked up, and the boat started taking on water. The boat’s bilge pump couldn’t work fast enough, so Have something to report? Email submissions and photos to: mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com the men tried to pull up the anchor and crank up the outboard engine so water would escape from openings, Beal said. But the anchor line was tangled in the propeller, and the engine wouldn’t start once it got untangled. That’s when Masi instructed the others to put on their survival suits before getting on the radio and transmitting a distress call with his situation and location. Once the boat rolled over, Masi told his friends to stay together, stay close to the boat and use a cooler to help keep them afloat if needed, said Daricus Hunter, who was on board. “I’m alive because of one of my best friends,” Hunter said. The mayday was heard by people on board a power yacht about 5 miles away. The Lady Erica, built by Sabre Yachts, was on its maiden voyage after launching earlier Friday. Sabre Yachts CEO Aaron Crawford and his wife were on board with the owners, a man and woman from Annapolis, Md., and a fifth person. They altered course and headed toward the Job Site 2, finding the boat at the exact coordinates that Masi had given on the mayday, presumably because it was anchored, Crawford said. When the Lady Erica arrived, two of the men were in the water with Masi, and a fourth was on the hull. The people on the Lady Erica threw out a line with a buoy to Masi and one of the other men and pulled them on board. When they threw the line back out to Isenberg, Crawford could see he wasn’t responsive. “I yelled to him, but when he didn’t respond I dove in,” Crawford said. When he brought Isenberg back to the boat, attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, a lobster boat named Miss Konduct arrived and plucked the fourth man from the hull. The Maine medical examiner’s office has not determined what caused Isenberg’s death, but Hunter said he may have had a heart attack. His greatest fear had been that something would happen at sea to put Masi in harm’s way, Hunter said. Isenberg’s son, 17-year-old Joseph Isenberg, died three weeks ago of a head injury suffered in a skateboard accident. Joseph Isenberg lived with his mother in Ayer, Mass. �The Daily Sentinel By the Bend 2011 Eastern High School Homecoming Court Page A3 Tuesday, October 4, 2011 Ask Dr. Brothers Retirement turns her into golf widow By Dr. Joyce Brothers Pictured are Eastern High School homecoming queen candidates and escorts: Kristen Fick and escort, Chris Bissell, Queen Baylee Collins, and escort, Scout Facemyer, and queen candidate Jamie Swatzel, and escort Jacob Parker. (Submitted photo) Westfall-Vales Engagement Roger and Sheila Westfall, of Reedsville announce the engagement and upcoming wedding of their youngest daughter, Heaven LeeAnn, to Joseph Todd (Joey) Vales, son of Dave and Rhonda Vales of Long Bottom. The bride-elect is a 2008 graduate of Eastern High School, and a 2011 graduate of Washington State Community College, where she obtained an associates degree of applied science with an emphasis in medical administrative services. She is employed at Smith Concrete in Reno, Ohio as a customer service representative. Heaven is the granddaughter of Fairy Foster of Parkersburg, W.Va., the late Jimmy G. King, along with the late Virgil and Margaret Westfall. The prospective bridegroom is a 2007 graduate of Eastern High School, attended the University of Rio Grande, and is currently employed as a laborer on the pipeline for D&M Contracting & Energy Services, based out of Alexandria Pa. He is the grandson of Richard and Joyce Vales of Long Bottom, Charlotte Stemple of Coolville and the late Bill Stemple. The wedding will be held Oct. 8 at the Belpre Civitan Park Gazebo with the uncle of the bride, George Horner, officiating. There will be a reception held immediately following the ceremony at the Belpre Shrine Club. Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband and I recently took the leap and moved to South Carolina, where we could enjoy the weather and spend more time with each other. Well, it hasn’t worked out that way. He found a group of golf buddies right away, and spends at least four days a week with them — including the 19th-hole drink and the poker nights, etc. Meanwhile, I haven’t really met anyone in our condo and am feeling pretty left out. How can he treat me this way? — F.F. Dear F.F.: Your husband must be having the time of his life, after working and squeezing in his favorite sport on an occasional day off or weekend. I’m sure you don’t begrudge him his free time with his new friends, and if there is any consolation, perhaps it can be found in his good mood after a nice game and the knowledge that he is living a healthy lifestyle. But I can see why you would be very disappointed in how the cozy retirement you envisioned is working out — or not working out. It may take some time for you to find a group of women you enjoy doing things with — or even one or two friends you can turn to when your husband is off to the golf links. Try to explore the new area and find out what other women in your position are doing for fun. Surely there are things you too have squeezed in after work that would now be fun to do more often. But keeping yourself busy while your spouse is playing golf is only half of the battle — what you really want, it seems, is more time together to enjoy each other and your leisure time. So I suggest building in a couple of date nights each week, where you can go out to dinner, see a movie or take a walk together. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but if you propose some regular time together without complaining, your husband just might rise to the occasion. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m 18 and a college freshman. My parents thought it was a great idea for their little girl to go to school in the town where my grandparents live, but now I am not Dr. Joyce Brothers so sure. They have an annoying way of showing up “just to say hi” about once a week. I love them and all, but I need to have my own life and privacy here, and I just don’t know how to tell them to back off. Do you have any ideas that will work but won’t hurt their feelings? — D.N. Dear D.N.: It is a mixed blessing to have family nearby when you go off to college for the greatest adventure of your life. On one hand, it gives you a nice, secure feeling that people who know and love you are nearby if you need them. On the other hand, too much togetherness can be stifling, especially if you are trying your best to establish your independence. So I feel your pain, but I do think there are some things you can do to make your grandparents feel good about you picking their college town as your home for the next few years. First, I would try to switch the focus to you visiting them so that they aren’t dropping by on campus as often. Maybe you can ask them if you can come for Sunday dinner once a month, or something similar that they can focus on. This will give you the control you don’t have now, and you still will get to see each other and share family time — not to mention get a decent meal! I also would look into the continuing education that the college offers to older residents. Perhaps you can interest your grandparents in taking a couple of courses and meeting you for coffee after class every few weeks. Again, this would give you some control over when you see them and also would give them some new interests to focus on. That could be the win-win solution you need.

The choir is composed of children from Uganda, Nepal, and the Philippines who participate in World Help’s Child Sponsorship Program. According to the press release from Sargent, Children of the World represents millions of innocent and hurting children who are suffering around the world. The release goes on to say, today alone, 29,000 children will perish due to preventable diseases including pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea - even more surprising is the fact that over half of these deaths occur due to malnutrition and lack of clean water. The choir’s purpose is to generate compassion and inspire individuals to get involved by providing clean water to help save lives. The children in the choir are the voices, the smiles, and the stories of the thousands who cannot tell their own stories. A special video presentation will also take place and put visitors into the heart of this crisis and show them how to make a difference.

POMEROY — Ray Foeller, outreach and education program specialist for the Office of Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, was the featured speaker at the recent meeting of the Meigs County Retired Teachers Association, held at the Wild Horse Cafe. The OCC is the residential utility consumer advocate, representing 4.5 million households in proceedings before state and federal regulators and in the courts. The agency also educates consumers about electric, natural gas, telephone and water issues. Foeller said the funding for the agency has been cut by 50 percent; therefore, the staff is smaller. The consumer hotline is no longer available. Those with questions or issues to be addressed now must call the Public Utilities Commission or visit the OCC online. Foeller gave the group a handout, “Smart Energy Tips,” and talked about using compact fluorescent light bulbs and the use of ceiling fans to help circulate heated or conditioned air more efficiently. He also have a fact sheet, “Keep Utilities on with a Medical Certification Waiver.” The meeting opened with the Pledge of the Flag. Rosalie Story gave devotions. She read “Safe Harbor.” The secretary’s and treasurer’s reports were approved. The president and Joan Corder, scholarship chairman, reported that some have applied for the scholarship but that there is still time to apply. She reminded the group to get flu and shingles shots. Cards were signed for Kathleen Scott, Overbrook Center resident, Martha Vennari and Eileen Buck. The next meeting will be Oct. 20 at the Pomeroy Library. Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Congress’ dysfunction long in the making By Charles Babington Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — How did it get this bad on Capitol Hill? Why does Congress barely function today? The legislative branch of the world’s most powerful nation is now widely scorned as it lurches from one near-catastrophe to the next, even on supposedly routine matters such as setting an annual budget and keeping government offices open. Congress is accustomed to fierce debate, of course. But veteran lawmakers and scholars use words such as “unprecedented” to describe the current level of dysfunction and paralysis. The latest Gallup poll found a record-high lack of faith in Congress. There’s no single culprit, it seems. Rather, long-accumulating trends have reached a critical mass, in the way a light snowfall can trigger an avalanche because so many earlier snows have piled atop each other. At the core of this gridlock is a steadily growing partisanship. Couple that with a rising distaste for compromise by avid voters. Unswerving conservatives and liberals dominate the two parties’ nominating processes, electing lawmakers who pledge never to stray from their ideologies. Instead of a two-party system, American government has become a battle between warring tribes, says Mickey Edwards, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma who has taught at several universities. When House and Senate leaders set out their goals and strategies, he said in an interview, “it comes down to the party first,” with the public’s welfare lagging behind. The parties have driven all but a few centrists from their ranks. House districts are ever more sharply liberal or conservative because both parties collude in gerrymandering to protect incumbents and because mobile Americans like to live among like-minded people. For many Republicans, the biggest threat to re-election is from their party’s right flank. For Democrats, the danger is being insufficiently liberal. “The problem in a nutshell is that most members are more worried about their primary election than the general election,” said former Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., now a campaign strategist. “They ask themselves, ‘Why should I go out and be the next Bob Bennett or Mike Castle?’ So they become very averse to compromise.” Bennett, a three-term Utah senator, and Castle, a former Delaware congressman, were veteran GOP lawmakers who unexpectedly lost Senate nominations last year to tea party activists who had denounced them for occasionally working with Democrats. Some Washington insiders thought the downgrade of the nation’s credit-worthiness, which followed last summer’s bitter battle over the government’s borrowing limit, might shock congressional leaders into ending their brinksmanship. But just days ago, a relatively minor disagreement over disaster aid money brought new threats of a government shutdown. Also, many lawmakers are deeply pessimistic that a special bipartisan committee can develop a viable plan this fall for sharply reducing the deficit. Interviews with current and former lawmakers, congressional scholars and others point to several events that have tangled up Congress that lawmakers barely can keep the government’s lights on, let alone tackle big problems such as illegal immigration and soaring health costs. They include: —political realignment. Years ago, Southern conservative Democrats often worked with GOP lawmakers, and “Rockefeller Republicans” joined forces with moderate and liberal Democrats. Now, except for black enclaves, the South is overwhelmingly Republican. Liberal Republicans hardly exist, and even “moderate” Republicans face intense criticism from tea partyers and others. —The 1994 Republican revolution. The GOP ended four decades of House minority status when Newt Gingrich of Georgia led an insurgency that would change Congress’ way of doing business. “He greatly increased the partyversus-party polarization,” Edwards said. Republicans saw their mission as “less to be a lawmaker than to be a champion of the Republican cause, constantly at war, defeating Democrats.” When Democrats regained the majority for four years starting in 2007, they did not bring back the days of letting the minority party offer alternative bills. In fact, the House minority now plays a vastly diminished role, and both parties spend huge energies trying to gain or hold the majority. —Cultural shifts. Unlike two and three decades ago, most lawmakers now keep their families back home, and many spend as little time in Washington as possible. They rarely socialize or talk politics across party lines, further discouraging compromise. The media world has been reshaped by a decline in traditional, straight-news outlets and the rise of opinionated blogs, cable TV shows and talk radio.

Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., in one of several essays on Congress’ decline, writes that “Fox and MSNBC … certainly inflamed partisanship.” Social media, he says, has “popularized nonfact-based reality.” —Unrestrained use of partisan tools. Until the mid-1990s, the House majority often let the other party offer legislation for debate and votes. The measures typically failed, but the practice gave the minority a chance to air its philosophies and push for compromises where possible. That rarely happens now. When Rep. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., was speaker, he adopted a “majority of the majority” rule, which essentially made the minority party irrelevant. He would let no major bill pass without support from most of his fellow Republicans, even if it would pass easily with Democratic votes and just under half of the Republicans’ backing. Bigger changes occurred in the Senate. The powerful filibuster tool was used sparingly throughout most of the 20th century. But both parties now routinely employ it, enabling the minority to block almost any bill if its members stick together. Unrestrained use of the filibuster contributes heavily to gridlock, Edwards said. “It’s a failure of character in my view, of leadership for whichever party is in charge,” he said. —Money’s role in polarization. New laws and tactics have steered millions of campaign dollars to interest groups on the far left and far right, and they spend it to defeat candidates they oppose. “Most of the money is now not with the parties,” said Davis, who once headed the GOP House campaign effort. “There’s no centering force in politics,” he said. “The money has moved to the extremes. Everything has moved to the extremes.” “The voters bear some blame,” Davis added, noting recent elections in which the greatest energies were on the edges, not the middle. Edwards, who has written extensively on government since leaving Congress in 1993, said in a recent article for The Atlantic that Americans have created a political system “that makes cooperation almost impossible and incivility nearly inevitable.” There’s hope it might improve somewhat, over time, Edwards said in the interview. But for now, he said, members of Congress are responding to voters who say “if you compromise, if you reach across the aisle, we will defeat you.” Page A4 Tuesday, October 4, 2011 Long road from farm to fork worsens food outbreaks By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The recent listeria outbreak from cantaloupe demonstrates one likely cause of large-scale occurrences of serious illnesses linked to tainted food: the long and winding road what we eat takes from farm to fork. A cantaloupe grown on a Colorado field may make four or five stops before it reaches the dinner table. There’s the packing house where it is cleaned and packaged, then the distributor who contracts with retailers to sell the melons in large quantities. A processor may cut or bag the fruit. The retail distribution center is where the melons are sent out to various stores. Finally it’s stacked on display at the grocery store. Imported fruits and vegetables, which make up almost twothirds of the produce consumed in the United States, have an even longer journey. “Increasingly with agribusiness you have limited producers of any given food, so a breakdown in a facility or plant or in a large field crop operation exposes thousands because of the way the food is distributed,” says Dr. Brian Currie, an infectious disease specialist at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. The Colorado cantaloupe crop that’s linked to 84 illnesses and as many as 17 deaths in 19 states has traveled so far and wide that producer Jensen Farms doesn’t even know exactly where their fruit ended up. The company said last week that it can’t provide a list of retailers that sold the tainted fruit because the melons were sold and resold. It named the 28 states where the fruit was shipped, but people in other states have reported getting sick. A Kansas-based processor that purchased cantaloupes from Jensen, Carol’s Cuts, didn’t provide a notice to its customers that it had sold the farm’s cantaloupes until nine days after the original recall. “The food chain is very complex,” says Sherri McGarry, a senior adviser in the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Foods. “There are many steps, and the more steps there are the harder it can be to link up each step to identify what the common source” of an outbreak is. Fewer and larger farms and companies dominate food production in the country. That has driven some consumers to seek out farmers markets and locally grown produce. Supermarkets now highlight food grown near- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

But many in the produce industry have come together to try and improve the ability to quickly trace food from field to plate. This is good business. Large recalls, such as spinach in 2006, peanuts in 2009 and eggs in 2010, tend to depress sales for an entire product industry, even if only one company or grower was responsible for the outbreak. Recent outbreaks of salmonella in peanuts and eggs, which are ingredients in thousands of foods, have been more widespread and sickened more people than have the tainted cantaloupe. “There has been a laser focus on improving traceability so any recall can identify the affected product immediately and not have an effect on the rest of the entire category,” says Ray Gilmer of United Fresh Produce Association, which represents the country’s largest growers. Gilmer says that larger food companies have no choice but to take food safety very seriously. “The stakes for a large company to have a food safety incident are huge,” he said. “It could destroy their company.” Listeria, a bacteria found in soil and water, often turns up in processed meats because it can contaminate a processing facility and stay there for a long period of time. It’s also common in unpasteurized cheeses and unpasteurized milk, though less so produce such as cantaloupe. The disease can cause fever, muscle aches, gastrointestinal symptoms and even death. One in five people who have listeria can die. A food safety law passed by Congress last year gives the FDA new power to improve tracing food through the system. Food safety advocates say the law will help make the food network safer by focusing on making every step in the chain safer and making it easier to find the source of outbreaks. For the first time, larger farms are required to submit plans detailing how they are keeping their produce safe. Erik Olson, director of food and consumer safety programs for the Pew Health Group, says it is critical that those improvements are made to prevent more, larger outbreaks as the system grows more complex. “Clearly the food industry has just changed enormously in the last several decades,” Olson said. “It would be virtually impossible to sit down and eat a meal and eat food that hasn’t come from all over the world.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

Stop, slow down and become more aware of yourself and your reactions. Don’t let negativity or defeatism get the best of you. Your good intentions often go to extremes, and you find yourself overindulging. Sometimes you seem to lack self-discipline, yet other times you are very rigid about what must be done. Opt for a balance. If you are single, meeting someone could cause extra stress. Only you can determine if this is worthwhile. If you are attached, share more of your feelings with your loved one. Once you share more, you will tend to swing less from one side of the pendulum to the other. Be careful with CAPRICORN. They often test your endurance.

You could try to communicate with a different attitude, but that procedure might not work. Just be indulgent and understanding, as you are not the only person with this issue. Tonight: Energizing a little late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) +++++ Keep heading in your chosen direction. You might have a lot to accomplish. What is dependent on others might be best left for another day, another moment. Think positively, understanding your liabilities. Tonight: Try exotic!

All the creativity, savoir-faire and directness make no difference today! Tonight: A calm conversation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) +++++ Let others understand what is happening behind the scenes. Realize what is needed to make a situation work. Laughter could be the outcome of an incredibly awkward moment. Hopefully the giggles occur immediately. Tonight: Say “yes.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You might want to rethink a decision rather carefully, but don’t decide just yet. What you are seeing HOROSCOPE around you might not be reflective of what could be. Communication seems inordinately difficult. Tonight: Play it easy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Frustration could mark your decisions. You wonder why. Don’t focus on this issue; move along. A child or loved expresses his or her need for some friendly feedback and attention. Make the time. Tonight: Let your mind wander. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ With confusion and changes, security remains a high priority. A domestic issue keeps popping into your mind. The wise move would be to try to handle it and stop being haunted by the situation. You do have your hands full. Tonight: Happy at home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Keep communication moving. If you hit a brick wall, know that there is another path around it. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a loved one and a potentially hurtful situation. Detach and don’t personalize. Tonight: Talking up a storm. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Remain sensitive to what is happening. You could find that someone is very difficult or testy in a meeting. Resist walking out; just look at this situation as a passage. The odds are against a duplication. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Of all signs, you seem the most together. What others don’t see is the questioning and the processes you go through internally. An opportunity comes through a woman or someone you care about. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ Listen to others and take a greater interest than in the past. Even though you don’t agree, you see validity in what someone is saying. Understand that both of you could be right, but how to honor and work with that information could be up for grabs — for now. Tonight: Vanish. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Examine possibilities that come through a meeting. You don’t need to agree with someone. You do need to work with this person. Open up to the possibility that he or she might have a unique concept. Tonight: Hook up with your friends. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.

Far from it. These roaring Lions are still undefeated and proving they’re for real. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are also rolling right along, while the Pittsburgh Steelers — the team they played in the Super Bowl last season — are banged up and reeling. A week after turning a 20-point halftime deficit into an overtime win, the Lions provided further proof they’re a legitimate contender by turning a 24-point, third-quarter deficit into a 34-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Detroit’s defense started the rally with interceptions returned for touchdowns on consecutive drives, then Stafford and Calvin Johnson took over from there, hooking up for a pair of touchdowns in the final period, including a 2-yarder for the winning points with 1:39 left. “It’s crazy how it happens,” Stafford said. “When it was 27-3, we knew we had to start making plays. Once we did, we started catching fire.” Detroit is 4-0 and has won an NFLbest eight straight games. This also was its franchise-record fifth straight road win, avenging a loss here last November that had been its NFL-record 26th straight away from home. Tony Romo and the Cowboys (2-2) blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead for the first time in franchise history in the opener, and this was their largest lead blown in a loss in team history. Dallas’ previous biggest blown lead was 21 against Washington on Nov. 28, 1965, when the Cowboys led 21-0 in the second quarter on the way to a 34-31 loss. “Today and over the next week or two, it’s going to be difficult to look back at it,” Romo said, “but at some point here, we’re going to move on.” The Packers, the Lions’ NFC North rivals, also improved to 4-0, thanks to a career-best day from Rodgers in a 49-23 rout of the Denver Broncos at Lambeau Field. Rodgers threw for a regular season career-high 408 yards, tied a personal best with four touchdown passes and ran for two more scores. Charles Woodson ran an interception back for a touchdown. Even with an unblemished record, coach Mike McCarthy wasn’t praising his team. “Trust me, we don’t have it all figured out as a football team,” McCarthy said. “We’re 4-0, but we’re very in tune with what we need to improve as a team.” Eric Decker caught a pair of touchdowns from Kyle Orton for Denver (13). Orton threw for 273 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Backup Tim Tebow made a brief and uneventful appearance at quarterback for the Broncos early, but coach John Fox chose not to give Tebow more work when the game got out of control in the fourth quarter. In Houston, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger injured his left leg late in Pittsburgh’s 17-10 loss to the Texans and left the stadium wearing a walking boot. He had an X-ray after the game, but said he didn’t know the results. “You know me, if I can be out there, I’m going to be out there. That’s so for next week too,” he said. “If I can do it and if I have to cast it up — we saw I had to do that last year, I casted up my foot for the last half of the year. If we have to do it, I’ll do it.” The Steelers also lost running back Rashard Mendenhall (hamstring), linebacker James Harrison (eye) and defensive end Aaron Smith (foot) during the game. Meanwhile, Arian Foster rushed for 155 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter as Houston overcame an injury to All-Pro Andre Johnson. Johnson left in the second quarter with a right hamstring injury and did not return, though he was back on the sideline late to watch Houston (3-1) finish off the injuryplagued Steelers (2-2). Bengals 23, Bills 20 At Cincinnati, rookie quarterback Andy Dalton shook off a horrid first half and led his first comeback victory, culminating in Mike Nugent’s 43-yard field goal as time ran out against previously unbeaten Buffalo. The Bills (3-1) came in as the AFC’s last perfect team after pulling off historic comebacks. This time, they couldn’t hold a lead. Dalton threw a touchdown pass and ran 3 yards on a draw play, tying it with 4:09 to go. He scrambled for a first down on the winning drive — a replay overturn gave him the needed ground — and Nugent ended it with his third field goal in front of the smallest crowd in Paul Brown Stadium’s history. The Bengals (2-2) overcame a 17-3 halftime deficit to end a 10-game skid against Buffalo. 49ers 24, Eagles 23 At Philadelphia, when Alex Smith began to air it out, he outdid Michael Vick and Philadelphia. Chucking its conservative approach in the second half, San Francisco surged back from a 20-point hole for the victory. Vick wasn’t hampered by his bruised right hand, throwing for a career-high 416 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 75 yards. But Philly’s defense fell apart in the final 30 minutes, and Frank Gore capped a 77-yard drive with a 12-yard TD run with 3 minutes remaining. Philadelphia (1-3) has been outscored 36-0 in the fourth quarter of its last three games, all losses. The 49ers (3-1) are on top of the NFC West in coach Jim Harbaugh’s rookie season. Ravens 34, Jets 17 At Baltimore, the Ravens scored three touchdowns on defense, all off turnovers by New York quarterback Mark Sanchez, and cruised to a victory in a bizarre game that featured an NFL-record five returns for scores. The Ravens’ three touchdowns on defense were the most in franchise history. New York (2-2) has lost seven straight to the Ravens (3-1), the past two with Ryan on the Jets sideline. New York’s touchdowns came on a 107-yard kickoff return by Joe McKnight and a 35-yard interception return by David Harris. Patriots 31, Raiders 19 At Oakland, Calif., Tom Brady bounced back from a four-interception performance by throwing for 226 yards, two touchdowns and committing no turnovers. Wes Welker caught nine passes for 158 yards and a score, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Stevan Ridley added rushing touchdowns and the Patriots (3-1) played a mostly mistake-free game against the Raiders (2-2) after last week’s surprising loss in Buffalo. Redskins 17, Rams 10 At St. Louis, Ryan Torain ran for 135 yards and a 20-yard score, and Washington held off a late rally by winless St. Louis. The Redskins (3-1) dominated on defense and got two of their seven sacks late by Stephen Bowen and Brian Orakpo to knock the Rams (0-4) out of scoring position. James Laurinaitis’ interception and 15-yard return of an underthrown pass from Rex Grossman had given St. Louis the ball at the Washington 19 with about 5 minutes remaining. Titans 31, Browns 13 At Cleveland, Matt Hasselbeck threw three TD passes in the first half and safety Jordan Babineaux returned an interception 97 yards for a TD for Tennessee’s third straight win under first-year coach Mike Munchak. Hasselbeck threw for 194 yards in the first half while helping the Titans (3-1) build a 21-6 lead. He finished 10 of 20 for 220 yards — 26 on two completions after halftime. Colt McCoy went 40 of 61 for 350 yards and one TD for the Browns (2-2) against the league’s No. 1-ranked defense, setting club records for completions and attempts. Saints 23, Jaguars 10 At Jacksonville, Fla., Drew Brees threw for 351 yards and a touchdown, Darren Sproles added 188 all-purpose yards and New Orleans improved to 3-1. The Saints scored TDs on their first two possessions and looked well on their way to reaching 30 points for the fourth consecutive week. But Brees threw two interceptions, and the Saints were forced to settle for three field goals in the second half. Rookie Blaine Gabbert completed 16 of 42 passes for 196 yards, with a touchdown and an interception for the Jaguars (1-3). Bears 34, Panthers 29 At Chicago, Devin Hester set an NFL record with his 11th punt return for a touchdown and Matt Forte ran for a career-high 205 yards for Chicago (2-2). Hester had earlier set up a TD run by Forte with a 73-yard kickoff return before he ran back a punt 69 yards in the second quarter to move ahead of Eric Metcalf on the all-time list. Rookie Cam Newton threw for 374 yards for the visiting Panthers (1-3) and Steve Smith passed Muhsin Muhammad as the team’s leading receiver, finishing with 181 yards on eight catches. He now has 9,414 in his career. Chargers 26, Dolphins 16 At San Diego, Philip Rivers threw for 307 yards and one touchdown, Mike Tolbert ran for another score and San Diego (3-1) knocked out Miami quarterback Chad Henne. Henne hurt his left shoulder at the end of a run on a broken play on the Dolphins’ second possession and didn’t return. Although backup Matt Moore led the Dolphins to the game’s first TD, Rivers’ passing eventually overpowered the Dolphins (0-4). Falcons 30, Seahawks 28 At Seattle, Matt Ryan threw for 291 yards, rookie Julio Jones caught 11 passes for 127 yards, and Atlanta held off a second-half rally. Ryan was brilliant in the first half. He started out 13 for 15 and had a 1-yard touchdown pass to Tony Gonzalez on Atlanta’s first possession. Michael Turner also ran for TDs of 21 and 1 yards in the first half for the Falcons (2-2). Tarvaris Jackson threw three TD passes for the Seahawks (1-3). Giants 31, Cardinals 27 At Tempe, Ariz., Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes in a 58-second span late in the game to rally New York. The scoring passes of 2 yards to Jake Ballard with 3:37 to go and 29 yards to Hakeem Nicks with 2:39 left came after the Cardinals (1-3) seemingly had taken control 27-17 on Beanie Wells’ third rushing touchdown of the game with 5:16 to go. Manning completed 7 of 8 passes for 126 yards on the decisive drives as the Giants (3-1) won their third in a row. Chiefs 22, Vikings 17 At Kansas City, Mo., Matt Cassel hit Dwayne Bowe for a 52-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass, Ryan Succop was perfect on five field-goal attempts and the Chiefs (1-3) are no longer winless. The Vikings are 0-4 for the first time since 2002.

The host Black Knights (9-6-0) tallied three firsthalf goals while limiting the Blue Devils (0-8-0) to five shots in the entire game, including just one shot in the second half. Point outshot the guests by a 19-5 overall margin, including a 10-3 edge on goal, and also came away with a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks. Point Pleasant opened the scoring 68 seconds into the game, as Tommy Foust netted a pass from Steven Porter for an early 1-0 edge in the second minute. Rogan Park gave PPHS a 2-0 advantage in the 26th minute after netting a pass from Ryan Bonecutter into the back of the goal, then Bonecutter chased down a pass from Josh Parsons in the 27th minute and snuck it past the keeper for a 3-0 intermission advantage. Point goalkeeper Brady Reymond added the final goal in the 48th minute, scoring on a penalty kick to wrap up the 4-0 decision. Reymond made three saves for the hosts, while Nathan Wiseman came up with seven saves in goal for GAHS. Point Pleasant has now won two straight games and seven of its last eight contests overall, with its Point Pleasant junior Steven Porter reacts in disgust after missing a scoring chance in last three victories all coming by shutout.

(AP) — Rakeem Cato’s 4-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Crawford put Marshall ahead with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Thundering Herd held on to beat Louisville 17-13 on Saturday. Omar Brown helped seal the victory with an interception of Teddy Bridgewater’s pass on the second play of the ensuing drive. The ball was tipped in the air by teammate Darryl Roberts and Brown dove forward along the sideline, cradling the ball against his chest before it reached the ground. The game-winning touchdown drive was set up by another fourth quarter interception of Bridge- water, making his first collegiate start for Louisville. Bridgewater scrambled on a third-and-9 from his own 20 and fired to Josh Bellamy along the Louisville sideline. Bellamy wrestled with Marshall’s Tyson Gale for the ball along the Louisville sideline with Gale emerging with it at the Louisville 30-yard line with 4:32 left to play. Cato won the battle of freshman quarterbacks, going 18-for-30 for 236 yards and two touchdowns. Bridgewater finished 20for-29 with a touchdown through the air and another on the ground but also threw the two fourth quarter interceptions. The two quarterbacks were high school rivals in Miami with Cato’s Miami Central besting Bridgewater’s Miami Northwestern en route to a Florida state high school crown last year. Marshall, who came into the game ranked 112th of 120 in total offense, looked sharp early as Cato capped a 12-play, 79-yard drive with a 2-yard fade pass to receiver Isaiah King. Louisville started cold, with minus-9 yards offense in the first quarter on two three-and-out possessions. The Cardinals again couldn’t muster a first down on their third drive and didn’t manage a first down until Victor Anderson’s 17-yard rush from the Louisville 5-yard line with just more than nine minutes left in the second quarter. That run sparked a 15 play, 93-yard drive that ended with Bridgewater vaulting into the end zone after scrambling on thirdand-goal from the 9 to tie it at 7-7. Marshall got the ball at the Louisville 45 follow- ing a 32-yard return from Andre Booker that was advanced 15 yards thanks to a Louisville personal foul. After picking up just 14 yards on seven plays, Tyler Warner’s 48-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright, giving Louisville the ball back with 1:27 left before halftime. Louisville needed just three plays to score before halftime when Bridgewater threw over the middle to his release outlet, Anderson, who broke a tackle in midfield and scampered up the Marshall sideline for a 41-yard touchdown. Chris Philpott’s extra point attempt was blocked, giving Louisville a 13-7 lead going into the half. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
