JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: My ife and I just became grandparents! We're very excited to meet our daughter's son and experience the joys of grandparenting. My wife is worried that we will miss out on a lot because we live across the country from our daughter, and she has been talking about moving to be closer to her and the new baby. We've lived in our town for a long time, though, and neither of us ·.wants to leave. Is it possible to be involved in our grand.son 's life from across the country? - W.F. Dear W.F.: First, congrat·ulations on the arrival of your grandson! Grandparenting is an entirely different experience from parenting, and you are sure :io enjoy it. Grandparents !often are able to give kids periences that their pars can't. and this is one of great rewards. Although . is sad to Jive far away ffrom family, your role as ~randparents is still quite important in your grandson's life. You can indeed 'foster a close relationship without moving down the •block. If you were looking :for a reason to move, this "might be a good motivation, ,but since you seem invested ·in your town, there is no ,reason to uproot your lives. :In fact, sharing your her,itage and personal history, •including the town you've :lived in, with your grandson .is important in nurturing the ;relationship. • There are many ways you ~can bridge the distance, :especially with e-mail and :the Internet. It's become •easier than ever to share :videos and photos via the ;Internet, which is a great y to connect with your ndson. Sharing your • bies and simply being a :good listener as he grows :older are also important. •Don 't worry if your grand:son 's interest waxes and :wanes - he surely will be ;busy as he gets older, but •will appreciate consistency :on your part. It's safe to say ;that your grandson probably -enjoys letters, e-mails, pho;tos and especially gifts, • l even if you don't hear back from him right away .

Jason Aldennan increased the average household expenditure limit from $2,500 to $6,500. It also expanded WAP eligibility to include anyone whose income is at or below 200 percent of the poverty level for their household size. Each state sets its own program rules, however, so many have more generous eligibility criteria. WAP provides energy-efficiency services that are tailored to each home, whether a single- or multi-family dwelling or mobile home. Homeowners and renters can apply, although renters must obtain written permission from their landlords. As many as 30 million families are eligible for WAP. Those receiving Supplemental Security Income or Aid to Families with Dependent Children are automatically eligible. In other cases, preference is usually given to people over age 60, families with one or more disabled members and families with children. To see if you are eligible for WAP, visit www.eere.energy.gov/weat herization, which contains application instructions, contact information for individual state programs and local weatherization service providers, frequently asked questions, and a step-by-step description of how the process works. As part of the application process you will be asked to provide proof of income and other qualifying information. If accepted, you will receive a professional energy consultation by the agency. They will conduct a home energy audit during which they will likely: • Analyze your utility bills • Test infiltration of out- · side air into your home • Inspect your home and equipment for safety • Determine the most costeffective energy conservation measures for your home. Depending on what they find, the agency will then conduct needed repairs and equipment installation, which might include: installing walL floor and attic insulation; sealing and repairing ducts; reducing air infiltration and pressure imbalances; and tuning, repairing ,or replacing heating and cooling systems, as needed. You also will receive tips on ways to further reduce your utility bilJs on an ongoing basis. Even if you aren't eligible for WAP, you may qualify for short-term utility bill assistance through the LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and administered by individual states. To learn more, visit www .acf .hhs .gov/programs/ocs/liheap. Don't let personal income challenges stand in the way of weatherproofing your home or paying your heating bill this winter.

He won't let me leave the room when he's falling asleep or turn out the light without checking for monsters in the closet, under the bed, behind the curtains - you get the idea. He's particularly afraid of monsters and creatures like werewolves and dragons. I'm worried that this isn't normal, and I have no idea how far to go with playing along. How do I help him get over these fears?- V.N. D.ear V.N .: Being afraid of things is a pe1fectly normal part of childhood development, and many parents are going through similar struggles with their children's fears of bedtime creatures, either real or imaginary. A recent study in the journal Child Development looked at responses to fear in kids age 4 through 7. The researchers found that earlier, around age 4, children don't understand that people's thoughts can reduce their fears, but that by age 7 kids are able to understand this idea. This means that when confronted with a scary idea or situation, you(lger kids benefit more from positive thoughts - such as pretending the dragon is a friendly one while older children should be reminded about the reality of the situation, perhaps by stressing that the dragon is only imaginary and can't hurt them. Regardless of your son's age, you should continue to respect his ideas and fears. Helping him talk through what is scaring him and how you can fix it together is maybe even more important than easing the fear itself. You should allow your son to face his fears in a supportive environment. There's nothing wrong with "playing along" by checking for monsters under the bed, for instance - as long as you're not patronizing your son but instead are empowering him to face those monsters. (c) 2010 by King Features Syndicate .~Community Calendar Other events If you're plagued by winter drafts and high heating bills but can't afford to weatherproof your home, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) just might be able to help. . Since 1976, WAP has helped protect more than 6 million low-income households from summer's heat and winter's cold, significantly lowering both individual utility bills and overall national energy usage. And thanks to a dramatic $5 billion infusion from last year's American Recovery and Investment Act, WAP is on target to weatherize for free - an additional 1 million households a year. Here's how WAP works: Each year, Congress appropriates funding to the DOE to administer the program. DOE then provides WAP funding and technical guidance to individual states, U.S. territories and Indian tribes, which in turn fund local agencies to install energy conserVation materials and make repairs in qualified low-income homes.

Racetrack owners try to block anti-slots petitions COLUMBUS (AP) - A group of Ohio racetrack owners is seeking to disqualify a second set of petitions circulated by a group that wants to overturn racetrack slots. The Ohio Legacy Fund asked Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner on Wednesday to throw out petitions circulated by LetOhioVote.org that they allege were falsified. Fund attorney C. David Paragas said several petition circulators listed hotels as their permanent addresses and one listed a UPS store. Listing a temporary address as a permanent residence would violate Ohio election law. The Legacy Fund ~ underwritten by track owners who stand to gain from a plan approved last year legalizing lottery-run slots at Ohio's horse tracks.

Va. police: Rampage victims were ages 4 to 43 APPOMATTOX, Va. (AP) - The victims of a gunman's violent rampage in central Virginia included the suspect's sister and brother-in-law, as well as two other adults, three teenagers and a 4-year-old boy, according to authorities who charged the alleged shooter with first-degree murder on Wednesday. Christopher Bryan Speight, a 39-year-old security guard, surrendered to police at daybreak after leading authorities on an 18-hour manhunt following the slayings at a house in rural central Virginia where deputies found a mortally wounded man and seven bodies. A bomb squad discovered a multitude of explosives at Speight's home, and crews were detonating the devices into the night. Speight had no weapons when he surrendered at the house. He was wearing a bulletproof vest over a black fleece jacket, camouflage pants and mud-caked boots. Neither the sheriff nor a state police spokeswoman would disclose what Speight said when he gave up. the Ohio BCI agents who worked on the case. All of us who worked on behalf of Mr. Rizer and his family are pleased with the outcome.'' Rizer 's daughter-in-law, Melissa, whose son first responded to Paula Rizer's frantic telephone call, spoke to Crow on behalf of the victim's family. She said that telephone call, at midday on April 3, 2009, was proof that Rizer 's motive and her defense were selfish. "Instead of calling an ambulance for help, she called my husband. pleading for help for herself," Melissa Rizer said. Melissa and her husband, James Rizer. lived near his er and stepmother on Lovett Road. He was the first to ve at the scene, finding his stepmother kneeling before dead father. 1 addition to spending at least the next 17 years at the io Reformatory for Women in Marysville, Rizer will also be responsible for reimbursing her husband's estate for his funeral expenses. and the state for the costs of prosecution. Those prosecution costs, including fees for expert witnesses who helped send hei: to prison, are approximately $15,000, Williams told Crow. Williams said the convicted .Rizer has bank deposits and other assets that will allow her to reimburse those costs. Rizer's attorney, Herman Carson of Athens, said an appeal will be filed. l Reports from Page At unreported, stopped at the Pomeroy Save-A-Lot and upon returning to the parking lot found his 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee had received damage to the front left bumper and fender area.

AP photo Murder suspect Christopher Speight, center, is led out of State Police headquarters in Appomattox, Va., Wednesday. Speight is accused of killing eight people and leading police on an overnight manhunt. Speight was charged with one count of first degree murder, but other charges are likely. He's being held at a jail in Lynchburg. Speight co-owned and lived in the home where some of the bodies were found . David Anderson. coowner of the Sunshine Market grocery store in Lynchburg, where Speight sometimes provided security. said Speight was worried that his sister and brotherin-law, wanted to kick him out of the house. The two recently moved in with Speight. he said. Speight's mother deeded the house to Speight and his sister in 2006, shortly before she died of brain cancer. His mother's obitu- ary listed the daughter as Lauralee Sipe and her husband as Dewayne Sipe. State police identified the Sipes, both 38, as two of the victims, along with 16-yearold Ronald Scruggs; 15year-old Emily Quarles; 43year-old Karen and Jonathan Quarles; 15-yearold Morgan Dobyns; and 4year-old Joshua Sipe. Police say Speight knew all the victims, but they did not outline the victims' relationships or discuss a motive. No court date has been set. Their bodies are at the state medical examiner's office in Roanoke, where their causes of death will be determined. In nearby Lynchburg late Wednesday, about 100 people attended an impromptu prayer gathering at Thomas Terrace Baptist Church, where friends described Scruggs as a class clown and Emily Quarles as outgoing and friendly. Youth minister Walt Davis said the community would need strength in the coming days and weeks. Adults were on hand for young people who wanted to talk or needed comforting. HHS releases $490 million for LIHEAP Ohio's share $78.7 million, w.va:s cut $12.9 million BUSINESS WIRE Rizer from Page At The Daily Sentinel • Page As www.m ydailysentinel.co m WASHINGTON In response to the growing demands on states and families for much needed relief, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Wednesday the release of $490 million in contingency funding to help eligible low-income homeowners and renters meet home energy costs . These Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) contingency funds will provide states, territories, tribes and the D istrict of Columbia with additional assistance to pay heating and electricity costs. The contingency funds released Wednesday are in addition to basic LIHEAP funding states receive automatically. HHS released $2.6 billion in October and $1.2 billion last week in regular block grant funds. The $490 million release is from a $590 million LIHEAP contingency fund leaving $100 million available for unanticipated events in the contingency fund. Ohio stands to receive a total of $78,765,827 $54,005,948 of the $1.2 billion released last week, and $24,759,879 of the $490 million released Wednesday. West Virginia's share is $12,980,649 - $9,412,297 of which is part of the $1.2 billion release, and $3,568,352 from this week's $490 million allocation. In total, Congress appropriated $5 .I billion for LIHEAP in Fiscal Year 2010. "During these tight economic times. states and communities across the country have seen increased demand on key services, such as energy assistance for low-income families," Sebelius said. "And the record cold snap in places that traditionally don't see weather as cold as it has been this year has put even more pressure on families in these states. The energy subsidies we are releasing today will help more families afford heat and avert difficult choices too many Americans face between paying for heat and paying for other essentials like food and medicine." LIHEAP helps eligible families pay for home heating. cooling, and other energy costs, as well as helping to weatherize eligible families' homes. In recent years, more than six million lowincome households across the country receive assistance under LIHEAP. '"We have made a decision to release a substantial portion of available funding now to help children, seniors, and families struggling to make ends meet," said Carmen R. Nazruio, HHS assistant secretary for children and families. "At a time when unemployment is unacceptably high, this assistance can provide a real helping hand to families hardest hit by the recession." AEP volunteers recognized POMEROY - American Electric Power employees/retirees and family members honored by grants to the Meigs Cooperative Parish and God's NET were recently recognized.

PageA6 The Daily Sentinel Thursday, January 21, 2010 Sheriffs' group seeks better drug monitoring CLEVELAND (AP) - A lobbying group for Ohio sheriffs says not enough doctors and dentists are checking a prescription drug database before prescribing painkillers and other narcotics. Ohio's statewide database was created in 2006 to allow physicians to check the prescription histories of patients and to discourage addicts from "doctor shopping'' to get drugs.

Judge denies new trial for death row inmate YOUNGSTOWN (AP) - An Ohio judge has denied a new trial for a man scheduled to be executed Feb. 4 for killing two convenience store clerks. The defense promised an appeal of the ruling. Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge Maureen Sweeney made the ruling against 37 -year-old Mark Aaron Brown on Wednesday in Youngstown. She says two trial witnesses who backed the new-trial request weren't credible. One said the prosecution coached his trial testimony, and the judge says the other couldn't explain his conflicting testimony. Brown has been sentenced to death for killing two clerks in a Youngstown convenience store in January J994, when he was 21. State Public Defender Tim Young says the judge's ruling would be appealed. Jury: Death penalty for convicted triple murderer CANTON (AP) - A jury has recommended the death penalty for an Ohio man convicted in the slayings of his two children and former mother-in-law. A judge must approve the sentence recommended on Wednesday for 36-year-old James Mammone III, who was convicted last week in Canton of three counts of aggravated murder and other charges. A psychologist testified Wednesday that Mammone has a severe personality disorder, but he does know right from wrong. Mammone says he preferred to have the children dead than to see their parents divorced. Mammone said he's full of regrets but didn't apologize for the June killings. He said he was motivated by social and religious beliefs and personal frustration after his divorce last year. Paralyzed man accuses hotel of discrimination AKRON (AP)- An Ohio man paralyzed from the waist down is suing a hotel, accusing management of discrimination for refusing to give him a room. Shawn Pouliot says he sought a room at the Akron City Centre Hotel in December but was told by a desk clerk that he had been banned for life because he soiled linens during a previous stay. The 39-year-old Pouliot says his colostomy pouch broke while he slept at the hotel in Au~ust, but he bagged the dirty linens and left the hotel nearly ~500 to defray the costs. Pouliot says he was shocked by the hotel's response. He filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court seeking unspecified financial damages under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Police: Boy raped woman on Toledo street TOLEDO (AP) - Police in notthwest Ohio say a I 5year-old boy has been arrested in the rape of a learning disabled woman along a street as several cars drove past. Toledo police say the attack happened Tuesday afternoon and that at least four drivers saw what was happening and called authorities. One driver even slowed down and beeped the car hom. Sgt. Sam Harris says be doesn't fault the drivers for not stopping. He says it's likely they didn't know what was taking place and that some callers said they had witnessed an assault. Police arrested the teen at his home early Wednesday morning. Ohio lawmakers scramble to react to casino plan COLUMBUS (AP) - A deal on a new site for a proposed Columbus casino hasn't erased looming questions that were raised by the voter-authorized plan to put casinos in the state capital and three other cities. Since the fall election, four constitutional amendments have been floated at the Statehouse that would tweak the casino plan or the state initiative process that made it possible. Constitutional law experts say the extent of the response shows how placing such detail in the constitution can backfire. One resolution sought to return more casino profits to the state. Another called for allowing casino gambling in a given county only with the approval of the county's voters. A third proposal, which looks like it will stick, asks voters to authorize a different location for the Columbus casino. The last seeks broader change: It would require all future ballot initiatives to obtain 67 percent voter approval to pass, rather than a simple majority. On Wednesday, state lawmakers formalized their intention to go forward with a May ballot measure intended to relocate the Columbus casino desciibed in the casino plan voters approved in November. The initial amendment contained specific descriptions of the parcels where the casinos would be built, in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and in Columbus' Arena District. The ballot issue will ask voters to move the Columbus casino to the site of the former Delphi auto parts plant on the city's west side. Although it may appear to be a Columbus-specific change, the question must be decided by the entire state. Lawmakers of both parties in the Ohio House began the process Wednesday to lobby for a bill placing the Columbus location change on May's ballot. The bill must first clear the Legislature by a three-fifths majority. Penn National Gaming Inc., developer of the Columbus casino, has already approved the Delphi site as an alternative to its preferred location in the downtown Arena DistJict. The Delphi plant closed in 2007. It sat on a 114-acre site near the neighborhood hardest hit in the nation by the foreclosure crisis. City leaders worried that casino activity in the familyfriendly Arena District could hurt existing business there, including the National Hockey League's Blue Jackets, movie and concert venues, and restaurants.

More non-farm students are flocking to agriculture degrees for their emphasis on science and • the strong job market for graduates despite the economy. Ohio State school .links science with agriculture Bv JosH JARMAN THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH COLUMBUS - Some Ohio State University students have long believed that the campus west of the Olentangy River is not for them. There's a perception that the area "is all cowboy hats and big belt buckles," environmental-science major Kurtis Meyer said. "But that's changing.'' The 23-year-old senior from Worthington is among a growing number of students rethinking their view of agricultural schools as they learn about the emphasis on science and the promise of good jobs after graduation. Enrollment in agricultural schools across the country increased almost 22 percent from 2005 to 2008, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At Ohio State's College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, enrollment has risen more than 18 percent in the past five years. Enrollment has increased even as the number of farms in the country has steadily declined. The United States has lost about 200,000 farms since 1978, the US DA said. Tessa Bowman didn't consider a career in an agriculture-related field in high schooJ. She played volleyball and softball rather than joining 4-H or FFA, yet the New Albany native is a year away from earning a master's degree in food science and technology at Ohio State. Bowman. 23, went to college with dreams of becoming a physical therapist, but they died with her inability to dissect cadavers. A friend on her club volleyball team told her about food science. In slightly more than a year, she went from knowing very little about the discipl ine to interning at Cargill Flavor Systems in Cincinnati. ''I'm excited by how tan- gible the subject is," Bowman said. "In organic chemistry, and even molecular biology. you primarily deal with theory. Food science is something you can see, feel and touch. It's much more interesting." Students such as Bowman and Meyer are becoming more common, Associate Dean Linda Martin said. "Twenty-five years ago, a lot more students planned to return to the family farm. Now, about two-thirds of our students come from non-farm backgrounds." Martin said that shift mirrors changes in the degrees and programs the college provides. Ohio State still offers stalwarts such as crop and soil sciences and animal science, and those programs continue to attract a lot of students. But new programs that focus on food safety, bio-energy and the environment have brought into agriculture students who couldn't imagine working on a farm. Meyer said his environmental-policy program has allowed him to write his own ticket toward a career advising both large and small companies on how to find tax breaks for renewable energy. He already has consulted for private companies while in school. The economy is another reason students are turning to agriculture. More than 90 percent who graduated from the college in 2008 had a job within six months. Jeff Culbertson, a foodscience professor, said there are plenty of opportunities for students . In specialized fields such as food science. he said, there are more job openings than qualified workers. Demand is so great that companies such as H .J. Heinz, Frito-Lay, Starbucks and even Jack Daniel's are hiring people with related degrees such as chemistry and then sending them through a one-year, online course that Culbet1son tuns at Ohio State. He said foodscience graduates start out making about $50,000 a year for an undergrad degree and about $65.01 for a graduate degree. "It used to be when p pie heard the word agtic ture, they thought of farming or working with animals.'' Culbertson said . "Today, there is so much science involved in anything to do with the production of food." '-'Rub1ishing fot' tbe llcjlEt'' ((In God We Trust1' Invite thern to yot:1r church.

(AP) - Da'Sean Butler scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half and No. 11 West Virginia needed some late free throws to preserve a 68-60 win over Marshall on Wednesday night. West Virginia (14-3) overcame another poorshooting performance to earn its fourth straight win over the Thundering Herd (15-3). Darryl Bryant added 14 points for West Virginia and Kevin Jones scored 13. Freshman Hassan Whiteside scored 18 points and Chris Lutz had 16 for Marshall, which had its six-game winning streak snapped. West Virginia went ahead to stay late in the first half but nearly blew a 10-point lead late in the game. T he Mountaineers went 6 of 8 from the line in the final 18 seconds to escape with the wi n. West Virginia foiled Marshall's bid for its first victory over a ranked opponent since beating the Mountaineers 58-52 in January 2006. Marshall entered the night 13th in D ivision I scoring at 82.4 points per game but played from behind the entire second half and tied its lowest scoring output of the season. West Virginia had a 4326 rebounding advantage and that enabled the Mountaineers to overcome 39 percent shooting from the field, the sixth straight game they've shot below 50 percent. Marshall turned up the intensity on both ends of the court midway through in the second half to tear into a 10-point deficit. West Virginia committed a shot-clock violation and Butler was called for an offensive foul. After that, Marshall's Chris Lutz hit a pair of 3 pointers and two free throws over a threeminute stretch, and Tyler Wilkerson sank two free throws to bring the Thundering Herd within 48-47 with eight minutes left. West Virginia never relinquished the lead. Wilkerson's 3-pointer with 19 seconds left brought Marshall within 62-60. After a timeout, Butler was fouled on the West Virginia's Wellington Smith drives by Marshall's Hassan Whiteside, left, and Damier Pitts during the first half of a NCAA college basketball game Wednesda y in Charleston.

Meigs was led in scoring by Tricia Smith and Miranda Grueser with I 0 Cavs, Lakers to get reacquainted CLEVELAND (AP) Seconds after LeBron James and his Cavaliers teammates dismissed the Toronto Raptors, one excited Cleveland fan began a solitary chant. "Beat L.A., Beat L.A.," he screamed. Dude, chill. It's January. But maybe not too early to dream about June. After all, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are coming. In possible NBA finals preview Thursday night, Cleveland will host the Los Angeles Lakers, who have a score to settle after being emban·assed I 02-87 by the Cavs on Christmas Day. It was a lump-of-coal-in-thestocking-Joss that ended with irate Lakers fans tossing foam fingers - and a few filled water bottles onto the Staples Center court in anger. With Mo Williams scoring 28 points, James adding 26 and Shaquille O'Neal acting J as their enforcer, the Cavaliers bullied the defending NBA champions, whose frustration level led to them retaliating with some cheap shots and being slapped with several technical fouls. "We didn't like that Christmas game," Lakers center Pau Gasol said. ''lt was very disappointing on our part. We've got to try to get that ballgame when we play them again. We need to do that. You never want a team to get the confidence they can beat you, especially when it's somebody you might see down the road in the playoffs." The stop in Cleveland begins a demanding, eightgame road trip for the Lakers (32-9), who have the league's best record in part because of a favorab le schedule. They've played just 15 road games - compared to 25 for the Cavs and the imbalance has helped Los Angeles open a five-game lead over Dallas in the Western Conference. That could change depending on how the Lakers handle a stretch of eight games in 13 . days. including three sets of backto-backs. Last season, Los Angeles went 6-0 on a similar Eastern trip that helped propel the Lakers to a title. First, though, they want to erase the memories of an unhappy holiday that was particularly hazardous for forward Ron A1test. "That Christmas game was tough, and then that whole day wasn't too good for me, anyway," said Artest, who suffered a concussion in a fall at home hours after the loss to Cleveland. "We feel like we're a better team now than when we played them before."

Texas (AP) Kurt Busch sees no problems with the rear spoil er that NASCAR is in the process of adapting to replace the rear wing, a move that could enhance the passing ability of car!> this season while providmg a more traditional look. "This spoiler. it seems to add front down force:· Busch said Tuesday, after being one of the first drivers to try out the change . "Don't ask me how it docs it. ... When you bolt something on the back of the car and it adds to the front. that's hov. space-age these cars are getting." Tony Stewart. Greg Biffle. Brian Vickers and Busch did the first on track testing of the spoiler, each running several laps with the aluminum spoiler instead of a rear wing dunng their Goodyear tire test at the l J/2-mile, high-banked Texas Motor Speedway. "I really liked it. I liked the way the car drove. it drove a little bit different on the comer exit than I think the wing did." Biffle said . "I don't want to jump to conclusions (but) it may have had a little feel like the old car possibly in some scenarios .... It seemed to drive good:· The two-day tire test is scheduled to conclude Wednesday. when the four drivers will likely do some laps together with spoilers in place. Depleted Bearcats beat South Florida, 78-70 CINCINNATI (AP) Freshman guard Jaquon Parker scored a career-high 15 points. and Deonta Vaughn matched his season high with 20. helping depleted Cincinnati hold on to beat South Florida 78-70 on Wednesday night. The Bearcats (13-6.4-3 Big East) built on their 60-58 win over Notre Dame on Saturday. gritting one out with a thinned-out front line. South Florida ( 11-7, 1-5) fell to 6-21 all-time against the Bearcats. Freshman Lance Stephenson sat out after twisting an ankle in practice on Tuesday. and the Bearcats' top two front-line player~ Yancy Gates and Steve Toyloy - picked up their third fouls early in the second half. leaving Cincinnati Cavs from Page Bl are better, too. At 32-11. Cleveland has the best record in the East. and with 23 of their final 39 games at home. the Cavs have a chance to nm away from Boston, Orlando and Atlanta, their closest com pet1tors in the conference. They just returned from a West Coast trip, where they displayed some bad habits - a tendency to rely too heavily on James - and also some new offensive wrinkles with O'Neal on the floor. In Tuesday night's win over Toronto. O'Neal was the difference maker on both ends as the Cavs beat the improved Raptors for the I Oth straight time at home. It's taken longer than expected, but Cleveland coach Mike Brown may have finally figured out how to best utilize the supersized center, whose offensi\:e game isn't v.hat it once was but v. hose defensi \ e presence remains unmatched. O'Neal hammered Raptors guards Jarrett Jack and DeMar DeRozan with hard-but-clean fouls in the third quarter that ignited Cleveland's defense, whid1 gave up 60 points in the first half. ''He's a guy from the old school." Brown said of O ' Neal. who also surpa~sed 28.000 career points in the win. ''He's not going to give up any thing easy around the basket.'' That was the case when the Lakers and Cavalier!'> met last month. Bryant scored 35 points. but few were easy and he finished just II of 32 from the field. And, on more than one occas1on. he ran into O''I.Jeal. his former. formidable teammate. ''He detinitcly had a presence in the game.'' Lakers coach Phil Jackson sa1d. ''I do kno'W it was a factor on Kobe. (Shaq) knocked him down about four times without a call " Down the stretch against Toronto, the Cavalier~ ran their offense through O'Neal. who couldn't be stopped by any of the Raptors. Brov. n ran four consecutive plays to O'Neal in the low post and he produced two assists and a dunk in a 9-2 spurt to put the game away. "It is great to have that luxury." James said. "Shaq is an unselfish guy and it is great to have that interior presence." Jackson doesn't want his team to get too caught up in Thursday's matchup or the Lakers' upcoming trip, Y..hich will take the club to New York on Friday and won't conclude until Feb. I in Memphis. "Last year's road trip jump-started our season," he said. 'Tm setting a low bar for this team. though. We don't need to put too much emphasis on the entire trip as a whole. We just need to play good. solid games and avoid injuries. startmg in Cleveland. We don't assign a whole lot extra importance to that game. even though it is an interesting game.'' 2010 Kids don)t need degrees to learn loyalty overrated A record-tying 53 players with at least one season of eligibility remaining said adios to college football and applied for this year's NfL draft.
