American Municipal Power Generating Station will be ''on the hook for electric power they may not be able to afford."' The report. "'New Insights Into the Proposed AMP Generating Station"' attempts to analyze recent market trends and concludes. there is no economic reason for AMP member:-- to pmticipate in the proposed AMP plant. Kent Carson of AMP called the repott a '"short term scare tactic by the Sierra Club where they are trying to create confusion with an ultimate goal of shutting down coal plants."~ With the Sierra Club being more ·known for its environmental expertise. the question arises whe~her the organization has the expertise to produce a repmt on the economic \ iability of this project? In answering this question, Nachy Kanfer of the Sierra Club in Ohio. said though a consultant was employed sort through the findings. the consultant used feasibility studies done by AMP consultants as wei l as energy data from the federal govemment's department of energy to the conclusion that the project is more of a liability than asset to AMP member communities.

BY ANDREW CARTER MDTNEWS@ MYDAILYTAIBUNECOM GALLIPOLIS - Gallia County residents will head to the polls in a little more than a week to close the book on this off-year election season. With state issues regarding casinos, a proposed livestock standards board and compensation for veterans grabbing most of the big headlines, local voters will also be asked to consider two county-wide issues: a sales and use tax for the operation of the Gallia County 911 system and a tax levy to support the Ga1lia County Council on Aging. County re~idents first approVed the 911 sales and use tax in 1994, which set the groundwork for the creatiOn of the system in 1997. 911 Director Stephen L. Wilson said the l/4 of 1 percent tax must he renewed every tive years so the system can continue to serve residents of Gallia County. Local residents have voted to keep the the sales and use tax in place each time it has appeared on the ballot. "Since Jts inception, the 911 center has undergone numerous technology changes," Wilson said. "One recent update allowed 911 operators to locate and track cellular phone users that call 911. More recently we installed a Multi Agency Radio Communications System that allows every county in the state to communicate directly and also communicate with other pa1ticipating agencies. We \Vould appreciate your vote on Nov. 3 to keep these vital services in place for the safety of all county residents:· Senior citizens in Gallia County are rounding up support for a replacement tax levy for the continued operation of the Council on Aging.

Rizer is accused in the April shooting death of her husband at the couple's home near Portland. Thursday. Judge Fred W. Crow III denied a motion by prosecutors in the case for a continuance of the trial. Potential jurors have been served and voir dire - questioning of individual potential jurors - will begin early Tuesday morning. a spokesman for the court said. Prosecutor Colleen S. Williams and Assistant Prosecutor Matthew Donohue filed a motion Wednesday to continue the trial so Rizer could undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Williams said the evaulation was necessary because the defense plans to introduce psychological evidence at trial. In his motion opposing a continuance, Defense Counsel Herman Carson said Williams has been aware, since at least June 21. that a psychologist had been retained by the defense. He said he advised Will iams on Aug . 19 that Dr. Krh Haskins of Columbus was one of the experts he planned to call as witnesses. Carson also said an "eleventh-hour" continuance would be contrary to the local rules of court and the Fourteenth Amendment. Rizer's trial . is expecte~ to c_ontinue into early November.

Senior Brock McClung kicked a 22 yard field goal with twenty six seconds remaining in the game to give the Point Pleasant Big Blacks a hard fought 23-21 victory over the Williamstown Yellow Jackets in a non-conference game played on the turf at Point Pleasant High School. Actually. while the field goal provided McClung with hero status, he had one more outstanding play left in him. On the ensuing kickoff, McClung booted the ball to the Williamstown 8 yard line where speedy Austin Williams gathered it in. Williams avoided one tack- ler and made it to the 25 where he ran into McClung. The hit was fierce and resulted in Williams fumbling the football. which was recovered by the Big Blacks' Derek Pinson. That left on!) for one kneel-down by quarterback Eric Roberts and the game was over. With just 22 second-, showing on the clock. it was a long shot for the Yellow Jackets to score a game-winning touchdown or even get close for a field goal. But. McClung's '(JCious hit removed all doubt about the game's outcome. "I guess it would be an understatement to say that Brock McClung's kick was big." said PPHS Head Coach Dave Darst. 'Tm very happy for him. He m1ssed on a couple of chances earlier in the game and it sure was gratifying to see him step up in that situation and kick the game winning field goal." added Darst. The win was the third consecutive one for the Big Blacks. but this one was a bit different from the other two. In those victories -- wins over Poca and Ravenswood, the locals dominated statistically. In last night's win over the defending Class A State Champions. the visitors had a slight edge in total yards, thanks in large part to a 231 yard passing night from quarterback Adam Kerns. The Big Blacks held the Yellow Jackets to just 132 yards on the ground. but the boys from Wood County made up for that with a finely tuned aerial attack. Kerns completed passes to four different receivers. and showed not only a strong arm. but a nice touch as well. The Big Blacks countered with their typically strong running game. rushing for 228 yards on 46 carries, including a 206 yard performance from senior Nathan Robe1ts. The hard running Roberts has been on a tear of late. averaging 225 yards per game over the last four games. He now has 1,210 yards on the season. an average of 151 yards per outing.

OHIO RIVER Western Ohio River Anglers are still taking channel catfish. They are being caught on chicken livers and cut bait around warm water discharges. Carp are biting on dough balls and corn. Hybrids an:: hitting Rapalas and rattletraps.O SOUTHEAST OHIO AEP ReCreation Land (Morgan, Muskingum and Noble counties) - Cooler temperatures have spurred bass and bluegill activity in these smaller ponds. Use worms or wax worms suspended under a bobber for the best bluegill results. For largemouth bass, fish close to shore using crank bait in the late evening. Nice catches of largemouth bass were reported over the weekend, with 'some bass weighing in over five pounos. River Nluskingum (Washington County) Fishing for saugeye, white bass and hybrid stripers is improving below the Devola Dam. Try casting jigs or crank baits into the current and floating them back. SOUTHWEST OHIO Great Miami River (Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Montgomery, Miami & Shelby counties) - Anglers are reporting nice catches of smallmouth bass in the 13 to l7~inch range. Use dark colored twisters. Texas rigged, also Hot n' Tots and X- Raps. Cast into bank and bounce back along areas with sunken trees and rocky slopes. Acton Lake (Preble County) - Good crappie action being reported. Size range from 14 to 16 inches and minnows are the ba~t of choice. Try about 15 feet deep and slow retrieve from bottom. The lake level is about average and surface temps were 66 degrees. Mad River (Clark, Montgomery Counties) Trout are being taken on mepps spinners and rooster tails. Wading the river and fishing from a kayak are both popular with anglers. Lake Isabella (Hamilton County) - Privately owned by Hamilton County Parks, this lake is giving anglers great opportunities on stocked perch currently. Try minnows off the bottom and red worms in about 16 to 18 feet of water at the south end of the lake. The park offers great family fishing opportunities with plenty of room to fish from the bank. CENTRAL OHIO Buckeye Lake (Fairfield, Licking, and Perry counties) - As water temperatures cool, hybrid striped bass will again feed more actively. Try chicken livers fished on the bottom or troll spinners along the north shore from Seller's point to the north boat ramp at state Route 79. Channel catfish are being taken right now using cut bait on the bottom. Crappie from 10 to 13 inches are active; use minnows and jigs around points especially in the east half of the lake. O'Shaughnessy Reservoir (Delaware County) - This 912-acre reservoir north of Columbus is a good place to catch largemouth bass and channel catfish. Channel catfish can be caught on cut baits, night crawlers, and shrimp fished on the bottom. Crappie are also being caught around woody cover using minnows and jigs. NORTHEAST OHIO Leesville Reservoir (Car:oll County) - Anglers lookmg for some good fishing as well as impressive autumn scenery should visit this I ,045-acre lake located in southern Carroll County. In 2008, a total of 332 muskellunge were reported through the Ohio Huskie Muskie Club. A total of 34 fish measuring 42-inches or greater were also reported.

Also picturea are the girls' parents, Larry and Lori Miller, left, and Sue and Jay Burleson, . · right. this time of year. Other lakes in northeast Ohio providing good muskie fishing include Berlin (boasting natural reproduction), Lake Milton, Pymatuning, and West Branch. Little Beaver Creek (Columbiana County) River fishing for smallmouth bass is usually good this time of year for anglers fishing a few miles upstream from the Ohio River, near Grimms Bridge in the state forest. Anglers sbould also try fishing near Beaver Creek State Park (Echo Dell Rd. bridge and near Gretchen's Lock) where there is significant fishing pressure but often good results. A variety of other fish including carp, channel catfish, sauger, and white bass may be caught as well. Shore fishing after a short hike is available, but floating a canoe while casting is a good option .too. NORTHWEST OHIO Clearfork Reservoir (Richland County) - Nice catches of crappie has been reported at Clearfork. Fishing minnows under a bobber or casting tube jigs are working great. The best spot seems to be under Orewiler Bridge. Charles Mill Lake (Richland County) Hybrid striped bass are being caught in· good numbers. Chicken livers suspended under a bobber are working great. The Old Bell Lake area south of the Marina is the best bet. Bellevue Reservoir No. 5 (Huron County) - Yellow perch are being caught in good numbers. Evenings are best. Fishing minnows under a slip bobber is producing the nicest catches. Try the northeast side of the reservoir. LAKE ERIE Western Basin - There were very few walleye fishing reports from the western basin over the past week. Migratory walleye will return to the Kelleys and Bass Islands area as water temperatures drop. Expect fishing to improve in historical fall walleye areas within the next few weeks. Yellow perch fishing remains good with the size of fish mostly from 7 to 8 inches with a few up to 12 inches. The best areas have been the gravel pit west of West Sister Island, the Toledo water intake, around Niagara Reef, west of Green Island and Rattlesnake Island, Kelleys Island, around the Catawba green can, and off of Cedar Point. Perch spreaders or crappie rigs with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Central Basin - Walleye fishing was best from Huron to Cedar Point ih 30 to 42 feet of water. Walleye were caught by trollers using worm harnesses with inline weights, jet or dipsy divers with spoons, or deepdiving crank baits. There were no reports targeting walleye again this past week from Cleveland to Conneaut due to the storms and being so late in the season. Yellow perch fishing has been very good east of Vermilion off of the condos, in 45-50 feet northeast of Edgewater Park, 45-50 feet north-northwest of Wildwood State Park, 42-48 feet northwest of Fairport, 45-55 feet northeast of Ashtabula and 40 feet north-northwest of Conneaut. Perch spreaders or crappie rigs with shiners fished as far up as 6 feet off the bottom have been producing the most fish. Steelhead fishing has been good from shore and anglers are catching fish at the mouth and downstream locations in the Chagrin River, Grand River, Geneva State Park, Euclid Creek (Wildwood State Park), Conneaut L:reek and along the Conneaut west breakwall. Anglers are using small spoons and jigs and maggots rigged with a split shot under a light bobber. Based on the nearshore forecast the water temperature is 48 degrees off of Toledo and 54 degrees off of Cleveland. 2009 SubmiHed photo OVCS beats Point Pleasant on Senior Night· TRIBUNE STAFF GALLIPOLIS The Ohio Valley Christian volleyball team celebrated Senior Night in style on Thursday during a straight game 25-20, 25-18, 25-10 victory over visiting Point Pleasant in a non-conference contest at the First Baptist Church Activities Building in the Old French City.

NASCAR's culture of rivals helping rivals unusual MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) - 1\vice in the first five races of NASCAR 's season-ending, 10-race Chase for the championship, Juan Pablo Montoya's frustration because of something that happened on the track has been aimed at Mark Martin, a fellow contender for the title. The first time he was annoyed that Martin. runningjust ahead of him, faked him out on a late restart. And last week, Martin ran into him from behind. denying both a solid finish. But for all his frustration with Martin in the heat of the moment, Montoya has often sought the respected veteran's advice as he made his transition to NASCAR racing. "I ask Mark Martin a lot of questions and he helps me out a lot," Montoya said Friday as the Sprint Cup Series arrived at Martinsville Speedway. the sight of Sunday's race. During his Formula One days, Montoya said, rivals not only don't give other racers advice, they revel in watching them struggle trying to, figure out what they are domg wrong. NASCAR is different, he said. "It makes no sense. It's crazy, but he does it and he helps," he said. "There's something great about this sport. People are really open about it. Once you're on the race track, you are by yourself.... Off the race track, you can go to anybody and they'll help you.'' Martin is among the most sought-after for advice, and the most willing to help. "First of all, one of the biggest forms of flattery is to have someone come and Joey Logano, left, talks with crew chief Greg Zipadelli prior to qualifying for The Turns 500 Sprint Cup NASCAR in Martinsville, Va., on Friday. AP photo want to talk to me and want my opinion or advice,'' he said. "It's very flattering.'· Martin ·also isn't alone in his willingness to help out the new guys. Montoya's first.experience came during a test session in Miami, before his debut, when Kevin Harvick saw him taking the wrong line around the track and offered some pointers. ''He came to me and said, 'You've got to go a little deeper and do a little of this and a little of that,'' he said. "I was like, ·Are you kidding me? You actually came to help me?" Tony Stewart. another former open-wheel racer. lists Martin, Jeff Burton and former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Bobby Labonte among bts early mentors as he made his transition. Now a two-time series champion and owner of his own race teams. Stewart said he also was surprised to see a different culture than what he was used to in his IndyCar series days. "I think it's because the guys respect each other more here, but at the same time, if the guys that you're racing with are out there making mistakes, they're putting you at just as much risk, especially in a 500-lap race," Stewart said. "At some point you are going to be around them and if they're doing things wrong, that puts you in a bad spot.'' For Mattin, sharing advice has evolved as NASCAR has become more complicated. Years ago, he said, he and Rusty Wallace used to share technical data. Now, it"s purely driving advice, but while the cautiOlts might be wary that the infom1ation they get could make their problems worse, that"s rarely, if ever, the case. Speeding up another driver's development. Martin said, is just honorable. "Do I think Montoya could beat me?" he said. "Sometimes. He's probably gomg to beat me whether I answer his question honestly or not. And I'd much rather be honest than dishonest." Even so, count Ryan Newman among the wary. While his career got off to a flying start that suggested advice wasn't all that necessary, he got his from Buddy Baker, an old time racer who ~as working as a mentor for Roger Penske. Baker's advice, it seems, suggests NASCAR hasn't always been so open. "Buddy Baker always said, 'It's your story. Te~l · how you want to,''' New said. "'You can lead th down the right path or you can lead them down the wrong path.' I've never done that. rve always been hon-· est with somebody when they ask me a question. "But I'm not the first one to go offer advice, either," Newman said. FREE SCRAP TIRE COllECTION DAY Offm end 9/30/09 and are based on approved credit Credrt card requued.

Browns battling bad • case of dropsies CLEVELAND (AP) The only thing the Cleveland Browns have caught in the past two weeks is the flu. Dropped {)asses ' - as many as 16 of them - have plagued a sputtering offense that wasn't exactly breaking any land-speed records to begin with. In last week's 27-14 loss at Pittsburgh, quarterback Derek Anderson had nearly as many balls dropped (7) as caught (9). Rookie wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi was gui~ty of three drops, miscues that offset his five receptions and a 43-yard grab. One week earlier, he had three more drops. "Self-inflicted wounds," he called them. The Browns ( 1-5) are hop. e: to latch onto the football ter this Sunday as they • e the Green Bay Packers . (3-2), whose biggest concern is protecting quarterback Aaron Rod~ers, banged around like a pmata at a kids' birthday party in the past few weeks. Cleveland's offense has been awful through six games. Under first-year coordinator Brian Daboll. the Browns are ranked 31st in total yards, 31st in passing. 30th in scoring and Anderson, who replaced Brady Quinn as the starter after 10 quarters. is the lowest-rated QB in the league with a 41.7 rating. For comparison's sake, New Orleans' Drew Brees has a league-leading 118.4 rating. An even scaner stat: Anderson's 8.5 rating in the fourth quarter. Anderson has hurt himself with bad decisions. forced passe5 and incorrect reads. t he has ~otten little or no p from tne Browns' fume-fingered receivers and backs. Anderson's many critics - and they are vocal as Quinn remains popularpoint to his cannon arm as the reason behind the high number of drops and incompletions. Anderson has struggled at times with his touch on dump-off passes and screens. passes Quinn throws well. But Anderson doesn't think his arm stren'g th should oe blamed for Cleveland's rash ·of drops, which has rivaled a flu outbreak that kept 12 players out of practice on VVednesday and 10 on Thursday. "I don't throw it that hard,'' Anderson said. "Sometimes on intermediate throws it just looks like I am not throwing it hard and it's coming harder than it looks. 'nd of gets on guys a litbit faster. but I think for most part I've been a lot better than in the past. "It's something that I've tried to work on and I'm going to keep working at it." Cleveland's receivers have been staying after practice to work on their passcatching skills. They line up in front of the JUGS machine, which fires footballs at them with more velocity than even Anderson t can muster. Perhaps a bigger reason for the Browns' offensive woes than the drops is the dramatic turnover the unit has undergone in coach Eric Mangini's first season . Mangini traded tight end Kellen Winslow before the season and dealt wide receiver Braylon Edwards, the team's top playmaker. earlier this month. So instead of those two primary targets. Anderson is throwing passes to Massaquoi, rookte Brian Robiskie, wide receiver Mike Furrey (with Detroit last season) and Chansi Stuckey, who came over from the Jets in the deal for Edwards. · Anderson doesn't want to use the newness of the group as an excuse. but1t's a legitimate one. "VVe do have a lot of new guys," he said. ''It's going to take time. We continue to work after practice, just keep working, throwmg, catching and getting used to each other." As for the Packers, they don't want to drop the proverbial ball this week against a team they should handle. Green Bay is corning off a shutout win over Detroit and doesn't want to look past Cleveland, a team the Packers blanked 17-0 in the exhibition opener. Rodgers has thrown for more than 300 yards in Green Bay's past two games. but has taken a pounding. After giving up eight sacks on Oct. 5 against Minnesota. Green Bay's offensive line allowed Detroit five more sacks last week, bringing the season total to a league-high 25. At least Anderson isn't getting dropped like that. Packers left tackle Chad Clifton is still being bothereq, by an ankle injury that kepr him out of two games. If Clifton can't play, rookie T.J. Lang will start and try to keep Rodgers away from Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers and a Cleveland defense ranked dead last overall. Rodgers, though, isn't taking the Browns lightly. ''They're a good defense, stron~ and athletic," he said. "The1r record may be 1-5, but they have a very talented defense and they're playing pretty well together. The defense is keepmg them in games. It's going to be a tough task for us.'' The Packers don't want to get too far ahead of themselves. but it may be tough for them not look ahead~ Next week, Green Bay has a rematch against the Vikings: Brett Bowl II. This time, at Lambeau Field, where the Cheeseheads may give Favre a rude homecoming. · For now, the Packers want to keep themselves and their record healthy, which could be a challenge in Cleveland. Rodgers was asked if he worried about some of the Browns' infected players breathing on him. "Yeah," he joked. "Hopefully there's no sacks and 1t won't be an issue.'' CINCINNATI (AP) Every time Cedric Benson takes a handoff, he'll be carrying a grudge along with the ball. The defense that Benson practiced against for two years in Chicago will have to stop him when the Bears play Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Benson has moved on from his tumultuous time in Chicago, developing into a topflight running back with the Bengals. It's gone well for him in Cincinnati (4-2), which has revamped its offense to feature his power running style. The Bears (3-2) expect the reunion to be very personal. ··r know he's had this date circled for a long time," Bears linebacker Lance Briggs said. "When he was back in Chicago. he was a little worried we were cheap-shotting him. Now he can get revenge on everyone he thought cheap-shotted him in our training camp.'' The Benson vs. Bears matchup will be more than personal; it'll go a long way in determining the outcome. He's going to get the ball a lot. "He's had a lot of success in a number of areas." quarterback Carson Palmer said. "We just need to keep getting him the ball and keep blocking for him because when you get him the ball. good things happen." Benson was the fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft, an mdication the Bears viewed him as their running back of the future. It didn't work out that way. Benson sensed the organization was· divioed, with some supporting incumbent Thomas Jones. _The end came in Chicago after two arrests involving alcohol. When a grand jury declined to indict Benson. the Bengals gave him anoth- · er chance. He did so well the rest of the season that they kept him around and made him a cornerstone. "I definitely feel more accepted here," Benson said. ''I found a way to make things work with what's given to me here. Just feel more accepted." Benson ranks third in the AP photo Cincinnati Bengals receiver Laveranues c•oles (11) catches a pass aga1nst Houston Texans safety Eugene Wilson (26) in the first half of an NFL football game Sunday in Cincinnati. NFL in rushing with 531 yards. His 127 carries lead the league and demonstrate how much the Bengals have put their offense into his hands. They got away from the running game in the second half of a 28-17 loss to Houston last Sunday, and the offense bogged down. Benson finished with 44 yards on 16 carries - only four of them in the second half - and the Bengals came away realizing he's got to get the ball more against the Bears. who have the sixth-best run defense in the league this week. "The running game, for the large paxt, controls football games," Benson said. "You set the tempo and send a message when you run it.'' Despite injuries to its linebackers. Chicago has been able to stop teams on the ground. No opponent has had a 100-yard rusher. Onl) two teams have run for I 00 yards overall: Pittsburgh had 105, Seattle had 103. "It's an emphasis:' coach Lovie Smith said. "Football 101 says you've got to stop the run first. We buy into that philosophy. We want to stop the run and try to get into third-and-long situations. Our guys have been <ijsciplined in their gaps. but there are no secrets.'' The Bears' offense appears to be settling in behind Jay Cutler, who was obtained from Denver in a trade and had his fjrst 300yard passing game for Chicago last week during a 21-14 loss at Atlanta. Last week, the Bears gave him a two-year contract extension through 2013. ''There's a few quarterbacks in the league who can really do some things, take your team to places it hasn't been. and that's what we're getting from Jay.'' Smith said. ''Great arm. great. mobility. brings a lot of confidence to our team. He's made a lot of plays for us. and we're excited about having a long future with him.'' He'll have one advantage against the Bengals, because Cincinnati's defensive line was depleted by injuri~s last week. Sacks leader Antwan Odom tore his right Achilles· tendon, and Domata Peko severel\1 sprained his left knee. With those two out in the tirst quarter, the Texans' offense had one of the best games in franchise history. "When someone fall~ down. someone 's there to carry the load,'' P'eko saiiJ, "That's what happens with good teams. They're able to do that. So we've got to show the world we can do that." Benson would like show everyone that the Bears made a mistake i11 how they handled him. Although he insisted he wasn't trying to get revenge he says he's beyond that this one is clearly special for him. ''It has a bit of significance for me personally:·· Benson said.

So. do we feel good (AP)- For much of the past Cednc Benson and Adrian decade, the Baltimore Ravens strived to create an offense capable of matching the swagger of a defense that annually ranks among the best in the NFL. The Ravens finally have that kind of attack. In their second season under offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, quarterback Joe Fiacco and running back Ray Rice have carried a unit that ranks seventh in total yardage and is averaging a robust 28.2 points per game. The defense, however, has been uncharacteristically inadequate. The Ravens (3-3) entered their bye week with a three~ame losing streak after givmg up a combined 77 pomts to New England, Cincinnati and Minnesota. Baltimore ranks 17th in total defense after finishin~ second last season under t.ne guidance of Rex Ryan, who left in January to take the head coaching job with the New York Jets. · Linebacker Bart Scott and defensive back Jim Leonhard followed Ryan to New York. Although Ravens coach John Harbaugh insisted the changes have not been a factor, he acknowledged that the new-look defense under firstyear coordmator Greg Mattison remains a work in progress. "Whatever struggles we've had on defense are not due to who's not here. We've got plenty of good coaches and plenty of good. players to play good defense," Harbaugh said. "Is there a transition? There's always a transition in any kind of a change," he srud. "There's a transttion as a head coach coming in here last year. There's a transition in our offense with Cam. That's something that I think is natural. It's not a transition that we can't play great defense through, and we intend to." It hasn't happened recen~ly.

Roethlisberger leads the NFL in yards passing, something no Steelers quatterback has done for a full season since the 1970 merger, and has three 300-yard games this season. Hall of Farner Ten·y Bradshaw had only fom during his entire Steelers career. Asked if the 27-year-old Roethlisberger reminds him of Favre, Childress said. "A young Brett Favre." "I grew up watching Brett and idolizing him and molding a little bit of my game after him," Roethlisberger said. "It will be fun to play against him for the first time. He's a legend and I'm just trying to g_et to his level." Curiously, at the same time, the 40-year-old Favre is becoming more like a younger Roethlisberger, a player whose most impressive statistic is his winning percentage, not his completion percentage. With Peterson around. Favre doesn't need to chuck the ball carelessly and recklessly - .he has 12 touchdown passes, only two interceptions and a 109.5 passer rating, his best such numbers at this stage of a season. He's proving a quarterback doesn't need to lead by ann alone; he's never been 6-0 in hi career before, and now he has a chance to be 7-0. "I've just practiced and gone about it as lif) I was 25 ," Favre said. Played like it, too. ''I guess in some ways r would have thought we would be 6-0," Favre said. "Maybe not quite the way we have. I knew we could run the ball. That has been obvious. I didn't think we would be as productive in the passing game." Productive enough that, while Roethlisberger was throwing for 417 yards durirtg a 27- 13 victory over Cleveland last week, Favre w~ passing for 278 yards Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisbe rger, right, passes the ball over Cleveland Browns linebacker Kaluka Maiava in the third quarter of an NFL football game in Pittsburgh on Sunday. AP photo and three touchdowns to help the Vikings beat the Ravens 33-31. Sidney Rice made six catches for 176 yards. Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley, 24, fmds it remarkable Favre is playing much like he did when Woodley was starting grade school. "He's still making plays today like he was then," Woodley said. 'That's helping this team win.'' Winning in Pittsburgh might be the toughes.t assignment the Vikings have given Favre so far. The Steelers have won their last nine there and, after a brief letdown in which they lost to the Bears and Bengals following Polamalu 's knee injury in the season opener. they've won their last three overall. Rashard Mendenhall gained 304 yards and scored four touchdown5 during those three victories, while Roethlisberger threw for 1,027 yards. and seven touchdowns, easily the best such stretch of his career. Mendenhall, who has made only four career starts, will be running directly at 317pound Pat Williams and 311pound Kevin Williams. the Pro Bowl tackles who helped the Vikings lead the NFL in rushing defense the last three seasons. "They've been No. 1 at stopping the run for a long time, and the one thing we wanted to pride ourselveS" on this year is getting the run going," Steelers right tackle Willie Colon said. "I think we' ve been pretty good at it so far and if we can mn on these guys, it will be kind of a warning shot to the NFL that we can." Favre doesn't know where this 6-0 strut will take the Vikings. He might have a better idea after going against a Pittsburgh defense that led the league the last two seasons and is capable of making any quarterback feel like he's 40, much less one who is that old. ·"This (Steelers) scheme makes it so hard to prepare. It's pretty stressful. You're sitting there going, 'A-h-hh,' " Favre said, gripping a table and shakin~ it. "At times you play mto their hands, and that's what they want you to do. It really comes down to making plays when they are there. You get limited opportunities against a team like this." ·- .... ,..._..----- ~ -- ..- Sunday, October 25, 2009 I Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Stern happy with backups, ready for regular staff vs. Big Ben in big match.up PITTSBURGH (AP) rfhis is exactly why the Minnesota Vikings spent the summer trying to persuade Brett Favre to end his latest retirement: to run their offense, not be their offense. To show them how to win big games, especially those in difficult road settings such as Pittsburgh. To complete the passes that must be completed, to win the games that sjmply can't be lost. • They wanted him to be Ben Roethlisberger. There are numerous subplots to Sunday's important oame between the unbeaten \'ikings (6-0) and Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2), one that matches a team playing like a champion against one that's proven twice in the last four seasons it is a champion. Can NFL rushing leader Adrian Peterson, called by Steelers coach Mike Tomlin the best football player in the world, break off runs against one of the best defenses of its era? Can a getting-healthy Troy Polamalu disrupt one of the league's best-balanced offenses? Can the Steelers' improved offensive line handle the Vikings' run-controlling defensive front? Ultimately, it may come down to what nearly everyone wants to see: Can a stillyoung quarterback who's already won two Super Bowls prevent an ageless quarterback he admired as a youngster from taking a small but significant step toward winning his second? Even more intriguing is that while Roethlisberger spent his first five seasons mostly managing the Steelers' offense, he's quickly transforming himself into a modern-day version of Favre. "They are playing to their quarterback," Vikings coach Brad Childress said. "He's (Roethlisberger) obviously come a long way from making eight throws in a game and handing the ball off. I don't think they are that type ~ NEW YORK (AP) David Stern is pleased with the performance of his replacement referee:;, though ready for his regular staff to come back to work. The NBA's referees union will vote Friday night on a contractt proposal from the league. If they accept, as expected, the officials will be back in time for the opening of the regular season Tuesday night. The league has used replacements; mostly from the NBA Development League and WNBA, durino the lockout. Stern said the 62 backups have "responded very well" and predicted that many would referee NBA games again. "We of course knew we have to provide them with extra suppo1t, coaching and training, but they've responded very well," Stern said during his preseason conference call. "We're very pleased with the effort, and we know you' II be seeing many of the people who you've seen on our court as future NBA referees. "All of that said, we're looking forward to our regular referees ratifying the agreement that we reached and being on the court Tuesday," he said. The contract between the league and the National Basketball Referees Association expired Sept. 1. The league decided to go with replacement officials after the referees rejected a deal the league said its negotiators had already agreed to. That raised the possibility of the league stmting the season with replacement officials for the first time since 1995. But progress was made in a meeting this week at league headquarters that included Stern, who had previously pulled out of the negotiations after referees lead negotiator Lamell McMorris criticized the commissioner's behavior. Stern rejoined the talks this week at the request of the referees. "It was always our intention to make a deal and our hope. I thought that perhaps the rhetoric had gotten a httle bit too heated and it would be better for me to withdraw." Stern said. "But it was requested by the other. side that I return and that they were coming in to make a deal and they asked me to be there, and I thought I owed them out of my respect to them to honor that request.'' The referees' contracts have usually been for five years, but the NBA consented to a two-year deal at the request of the union, which hoped it could renegotiate sooner with the economy in better shape. The s1des agreed on a salary structure that would give the refs a slight raise in the second year. but they remained apart on proposed changes to the referees' pension and severance packages, as well as a plan to develop younger officials. The replacement officials were criticized for calling too many fouls, though the amount decreased later in the exhibition season, which ended Friday night. "As the preseason we. on, they were better, Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "I don't think they were arrogant, or anything like that. They gave the ex{>lanations and they were domg the best they could. "The first couple (games) were just foul after foul and call after call and there was no rhythm to the games," Adelman added. "After that, I tho11ght it settled down fairly well. They just called things differently than the normal officials. They're pretty much going by the book." Some of the replacements likely will get another chance. The current staff includes 17 referees who · started as replacements during previous work stoppages.

Two great soloists, two great composers and two birthdays will be celebrated on one big night. 'Music director Ray Fowler leads the OVS at 8 p.m. Nov. 7 in "Mozart and Sibelius," the second program in the orchestra's 20th anniversary season. Joining the ensemble at the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre in downtown Gallipolis will be violinist David Kim, celebrating 10 years as Philadelphia concertmaster of the Orchestra, and pianist Debra Harder. a longtime local favorite. Kim plays the violin concerto of Jan Sibelius. the Finnish composer best known Finlandia." Like a Nordic winter. the erto is a fire-and-ice showcase of ancholy beauty, brooding power, pasStan. and playfulness. Though it's a first performance by the OVS, concert-goers will hear instantly why it's a long-time favorite of both musicians and audiences. Harder brings her keyboard elegance to Mozart's beloved 21st piano concerto. The C-major concerto has been a classic since it was written in 1785. Audiences love its ~tately opening, tender and graceful middle movement and sparkling finale. The concert,p earned a new audience in 1967. when it was used in the 1967 Swedish film Elvira Madigan (the tragic true story of Danish tightrope dancer Hedvig Jensen). Forty years later. the movie is obscure, but the concerto is still going strong. David Kim earned two degrees from the Juilliard School in New York. In 1986, he was the only American violinist to win a prize at the International Tcharkovsky Competition in Moscow. He founded and for 20 years was artistic director of the Kingston Chamber Music Festival at the University of Rhode Island. In conjunction with the festival. he also founded an outreach program that took him to schools ss the state to cultivate future audis. He continues to devote time to bringclassical music to school children in the Philadelphia area. Kim appears as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra each season as well as with numerous orchestras around the world. He also serves as a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra's board of directors. Kim continues the parade of great instruments to Gallipolis: He plays a violin by Guadagnini made in Milan. Italy, about 1757. It's on Joan to him from the Philadelphia Orchestra. Debra Harder began piano studies at age 6 and made her orchestral debut at age 12. Though she continued to perform, her first degrees were in medicine, and she became an emergency room physician. She then earned a second doctorate - this time in n)usic - after studying at The Ohio State University with Earl Wild. She has performed with orchestras across the United States and in recital here and abroad including with David Kim. She now teaches at Haverford College outside Philadelphia. The birthdays celebrate two of the region's jewels.

'Statue of Liberty' play has its roots in Wellston Bv JAMES SANDS The founder of the SEOAL (now in its 84th year and among the oldest high school conferences in the U.S.). Bill Thomas. once stated that the famous trick football play. the "Statue of Liberty.'' was first used in Wellston, Ohio. According to Thomas, in 1907 Wellston had a tailback named Grinnell and a quarterback by the name of Joe Gallagher. In the days of the single wing, it was the tailback who did most of the ssing. The quarterback )Uid stand behind the ard and bark signals but it • wa~ the tailback playing about five yards behind the line of scrimmage who received the snap. The wingback would line up behind the end on the side oppos1te the quarterback and the fullback would be next to the tailback: In one game involving Wellston High School, Grinnell \Vas in a passing formation and Gallagher ' had fallen back to block for the passer. As Grinnell reached back to paSs .. the ball slipped from his hand . and was caught by . Gallagher just before it hit the ground. Gallagher then ran around the end for a big gain. The play worked so well that Coach Thomas installed it on a regular basis and it worked almost ever; time. A new wrinkle was added eventua11y that had the tailback hold the ball behind his back with one hand and pretend to throw the ball with the other hand. Another back would slip behind the tailback and take the ball from the tailback's hand. He would then run around the end. Boise State used a form of the play in its 2007 victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. In · 1949, Northv.·estern won the Rose Bowl with the pia;. According to Thomas. Grinnell's father lived in Detroit and since Grinnell spent part of the year in Detroit, he had a Detroit girlfriend. This girl's brother played for the University of Michigan. It was he who told Michigan coach Fielding Yost about tillS strange Wellston play. The next year Michigan began using the play and Yost made the play famous. Thomas. who served as a Big Ten referee for many years. knew Yost well. The story goes that Michigan could not stand to have people believe they stole a play developed in a high school in southem Ohio and so Yost began claiming that he borrowed the play from Amos Alonzo Stagg. who coached the University of Chicago from 1892 to 1932. The "Maroons" were members of the Big Ten for many years and . thus Thomas knew Stagg, too. Historians today credit Stagg with inventing the lateral pass, the man in motion. the he! met. the tackling dummy. numbered plays. school names and logos on the unifom1 as well as the inventor of the ''Statue of Libert;." But to his dying days Thomas claimed Wellston was the place where the ''Statue of Liberty" began. It was on March 25, 1925. that Bill Thomas invited all the school superintendents. principals. athletic directors and coaches to meet with him at the Ro!!an Hotel in Wellston to accept the constitution for an athletic league. Thomas then was a writer for the Wellston Dailv Sentinel and postmaster of Wellston. The Southeastern Ohio Athletic League was born. It was Thomas who had organized Wellston's first football team back in 1898. He served as coach for both the high school team and the pro football team in Wellston off and on for many years. He was coach in 1915 when Wellston High played Fostoria for the champion~hip of Ohio. Thomas was also coach of the pro team during years when Wellston played the likes of the Dayton Oakwoods (later Triangles) and the Columbus Panhandles. Both would become charter members of the National Football League. The two coaches associated with the "Statue of Liberty" play. Yost and Stagg, were legendary coaches. Yost. born in West Virginia. statted his coaching career at Ohio Wesleyan. Yost's Michigan teams were national champs four years in a row from I 90 I to 1904, outscoring their opponents 555-0. Michigan once won 56 straight games. The streak was broken by Stagg's Chicago team. It was Yost who first said the words echoed by every football then. "Footballcoach builds since character." Stagg coached until he was 84. Combined the two great coaches had 17 Big Ten titles and nine national titles. .Braces, sticky candy: A Halloween nightmare K. ment, said Dr. Robert Bray. . president of the AAO.

(Bray said candies like Tootsie Rolls and Laffy Taffy can damage braces). Starburst and Skittles aren't so bad either. said Bukholts. But gum balls and candy corn are nonos. Regardless of whether a kid is in braces, parents need to momtor their ~ugar intake. said Dr. Mary Hayes. a pediatric dentist in Chicago. Simple sugars promote .the growth of plaque. she said. If someone eats a lot of candy. the plaque '"explodes on the teeth.'' she said. She recommends kids drink water and milk to neutralize the acid that candy causes. Some orthodontists allow sugarless gum. which promotes saliva and can be beneficial as well. Hayes, who advises brushing. flossing and rinsing with a fluoride mouthwash, said it's better to eat candy in one sitting and then brush than eat it throughout the day and have the sugar stay on the teeth. Some parents have come up with their own strategies for limiting the sugar intake. Mandi Corbett. 41. a mother of three in Brigantine.

She also does not keep candy around the house. "That's why on Halloween there is so much excitement and so much fun:· she said. Belz said she really tries to work with her kids to make sure there are other treats that are attractive and available to them, like a soft chocolate bar over Laffy Taffy. "If you spend a little bit of time in the grocery store and paying attention to what your kids like and how you can adapt it what their limitations are. it's really not that big of a deal." she said. "As long as they know you are working with them, they are willing to work with you.'' SIDS stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for babies between one month and one year of age. SIDS most commonly strikes between the ages of two and three months of age, and 90 percent of the ca1.es in infants under six months of age. It happens most often during sleep. usually between the hours of 10 p.m. and 10 a.m. and during cool weather months. SIDS is the diagnosis used when a child under a year old dies suddenly and an exact cause can't be pinpointed after~ complete medical and legal investigation. including an autopsy. The fact that it can happen without warning makes it a shocking and sad experience for families. Although no one knows for sure what causes SIDS, some risk factors have been identified. These include: Having a parent or caregiver who smokes. infant sleeping on their abdomen. premature or very low birth weight. overheating while sleeping. sleeping on a soft surface. Other :isk factors include having a mother who smoked or abused drugs while pregnant, a mother under the age of20 at the time of pregnancy. Being of certain ethnicities such as African American and Native American increases a baby's risk of SIDS as does being ·born a male. You can do some things to reduce the risk of SIDS such as taking care of yourself during pregnancy and after the birth of your baby. Some other things you can do to reduce the risk of SIDS is to always place your baby on his or her back to sleep. for naps and at night. Every sleep time counts. babies who usually sleep on their backs but who are then placed on their stomachs for a nap are at a very high risk for SIDS. Place your baby on a fum sleep surface, such as a safetyapproved crib mattress. covered by a fitted sheet. Keep soft objects. toys and loose bedding out of your baby's sleep area. and do not use bumper pads in your baby's crib. Do not allow smoking around your baby. Rates of sudden infant death syndrome have fallen in recent years according to the Centers for Disease Control. However rates from suffocation or strangulation have quadrupled in the past 20 years in the United States. most apparently from parents sleeping with their babies. Most of the deaths that could be determined were by "overlay"- the parent rolling over onto the child. Some other causes include suffocating in soft bedding. becoming wedged between a mattress and frame or waH, or getting a head caught in something. Keep your baby's sleep area close to, but separate from where you and others sleep. British researchers found that when a baby is in his or her own bed in their parent's room his risk of SIDS is lower. You can cuddle with your baby during feeding time and waking hours. With a baby safe crib placed next to your bed the baby will sense you being near and still have a safe place to sleep. ' . Think about using a clean, dry pacifier when placing the mfant down to sleep. but don't force the baby to take it. Do not let the baby overheat during sleep; keep the room a temperature that is comfortable for an adult. Avoid products that claim to reduce the risk of SIDS because most have not been tested for effectiveness or safety. Do not use home monitors to reduce the risk of SIDS. You may wonder if it's everokay to put your baby on his or ~er stom~ch and the answer _is yes. Allow "tummy time'' while baby IS awake and supervtsed to help build strong neck and shoulder muscles. Make sure everyone who cares for your baby knows the Safe Sleep r~omrnendations. Tell grandparents. babysitters. childcare providers. and other caregivers to always place your baby on his or her back to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS.

Charismatic front man Bono, in a reflective mood as U2 closes the North American leg of its "360'' tour, notes the different, more polarized atmosphere in the United States since the band performed its anthem, "City of Blinding Lights," at President Obama's inauguration in January. "I didn't think it could come to this so quickly, after the joyous occasion of that election," Bono says in an interview on board the Qand's plane, as they jet to another stop on the tour. ''I thought America was looking good .... Things are getting a little rough now." Bono says he's been in touch with Obama and is confident the president will deliver on promises made during the campaign, including the singer's favorite issue: funding to fight AIDS in Africa. "The Obama administration is just getting going. (He) has promised to double aid over the next years, because even though (President George W.) Bush tripled it, ... the United States is still about half as what European countries give as a percentage, and I think he knows that's not right." . Meanwhile, Bono the rock star and the rest of U2 are struggling a bit them~lves - as incongruous as that might seem for a band that will have performed to millions of people before its tour wraps overseas next year. (U2 ends its North American tour on Wednesday in Vancouver, British Columbia.) Like other bands in the digital age, U2 is struggling to grab new listeners. Its members admit to frustration at the average album sales for its most recent release and wonder, as bassist Adam Clayton put it, whether the idea of an impassioned rock 'n' roll fan is becoming a thing of the past. (One experiment - U2 is broadcasting one of this weekend's concerts in Los Angeles on YouTube.com.) "The commercial challenges have to be confront- ed," Clayton says during an interview backstage at "Saturday Night Live.'' as awaits the band's performance on the show's season kickoff. "But I think, in a sense, the more interesting challenge is, 'What is rock 'n' roll in this changing world?' Because, to some extent, the concept of the music fan - the concept of the person who buys music and listens to music for the pleasure of music itself is an outdated idea." The band's latest CD, "No Line on the Horizon," debuted at the top of the charts when it was released in March and has sold a respectable 1 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But the CD, which features more electronic music experimentation from U2, is the group's lowest selling CD in more than a decade. It represents a marked drop from 2004's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which has sold 3 .2 mill ion copies to date, and 2000's 4.3 million seller. "All That You Can't Leave Behind." "No Line" is also an album that hasn't had that one signature hit. U2 's last CD had "Vertigo," which wasn't a huge song on the pop charts. but became so ubiquitous thanks to Apple's iPod commercial that it might as well have been a No. I smash. The first single from "No Line'' - the driving, upbeat "Get on Your Boots" - didn't have a similar platform and didn't crack Billboard's top 30 singles pop chart. Meanwhile, "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" was featured in a Blackben·y ad as part of the new partnership between the mobile device and U2 but was not released as a single. Songs from the new album are clearly resonating with die-hard fans. "Get on Your Boots" drew one of the more frenetic responses from the crowd during a recent concert in Foxborough, Mass., outside of Boston, as did the anthemic show closer, ''Moment of Surrender." Yet the album hasn't had the impact for which U2 had hoped. While noting that signature U2 songs such as "Beautiful Day" and even ''One" weren't massive or immediate hits, Bono does acknowledge disappointment that the band didn't quite ''pull off the pop songs" with the new work. ''But we weren't really in that mindset," he says, ·'and we felt that the album was a kind of an almost extinct species, and we should approach it in totality and ' create a mood and a feeling, and a beginning. middle and an end. And I suppose we've made a work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of pop stars." Some would argue that the Irish rockers - Bono. Cla)'ton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. - remain pop's biggest act. They are entering their fourth ,decade of music-making with a string of awards. from Grammys to Billboard to Golden Globes, tens of millions of records sold and a social impact that few musical acts can ever hope to achieve. ·Still, they find themselves in the same challenging position as most pop groups today, who must seek new ways to connect with music buyers in a declining industry and an Evan AgostinVAP File Photo increasingly fractious enter- In this Sept. 24, 2009 file photo, from left, Adam Clayton, Bono, The Edge and Larry Mullen tainment world Jr. of the rock band U2 pose before heading out to start their 360 world tour show at Giants ''Music exists in an environment where people are Stadium in East Ruthertord; N.J.

If you didn't want to splat him ~ith a fluffy cream pie, or - even better - tf you never yearned to be on the receiving end, well, you weren't a Soupy Sales fan. Not everybody was a Soupy Sales fan. Some kids even turned off the TV and went outside and played. I was a Soupy Sales fan. I loved Soupy Sales who died Thursday at age 83. He invaded my consciousness for what seemed ~~ ~n instant a long time ago but left my senstbthty forever changed (I still have an unrequited longing for a pie fight). Many people today may not even know who he was, apart from a guy with a funny name. But Soupy Sales was funny. He was really, really funny if you were a kid (preferably a boy) around 10 or 11 in the early 1960s. As he migrated through a succession of TV shows on various outlets (I have no idea where he was originating when I watched him), he elevated cheap, cheesy kids' TV to inspirational levels. If he hadn't caused kids like me laugh so uproariously, he could've qualified for a Nobel Peace Prize. Excuse my spotty memory if I only cite a few choice Soupy moments. After nearly a half-century, I've forgotten many of Soupy's high jinks, and, in my defense, I should mention that the local TV station that fed him to my small Southern town all too often featured snowy reception, so I couldn't always see precisely what was going on. But I saw and remembered enough. His big grin. His silly dance, for which I can still hum the tune. The sporty black sweater (did it evoke, even in its clean-cut way, the Beats of that insurgent age?}, which perfectly offset the white custard dripping from each pie pressed to his face. In particular, I remember his pet puppet dogs, who, in their clever, penny-pinching minimalism could have rivaled Jim Henson's brilliant early minimalist Muppet innovations. I'm talking, of course, about White Fang . and Black Tooth. White Fahg was a big mean dog that expressed himself with fierce growling. Black Tooth was a very nice dog who mostly went "mmmm. mmmmm" as an imploring bid for affection. Now I have no meJiory of seeing Soupy pull the stunt that brought him the most publicity and got him in hot water: when he invited his disciples to raid their mother's purses and mail him those rectangular. green pieces of paper. By then, I think he had moved to another station and I could no longer watch his show, nor compJy with his request. In fact, my last memory of Soupy before he re-emerged on game shows and such, and seemed to be catering to adults was an episode of his Saturday show when he was planning to blast off in a rocket shop. , I don't know if this plot device resulted from his show having been canceled, or moving to a different city, or if he was staging a hiatus with a cool NASA theme. All I remember is, at the end of the episode. he boarded the rocket and, remarkably for Soupy, whose schemes didn't always pan out, the rocket lifted off. He blasted off for his visit to outer space - or that's what the no-frills visual effects implied. And he was gone. My friend Mike kept razzing me, "Soupy Sales went into space today!" Though I didn't get the joke. I already missed Soupy,. But as a grown-up with many decades lying ahead for him, .he left me with a price· less lesson that day: It's OK to be goofy and resist outgrowing it. I think, in Soupy's honor, I need a pie.

Windows logo is shown on the screen of a computer running the Windows 7 operating system, in Redmond, Wash. -With Windows 7 and new designs, PCs looking better REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - Although no one waits in long lines for a new edition of Windows anymore. the debut of Microsoft's latest software that runs PCs is part of why buying a computer is starting to feel fun for the first time in years. Windows 7 is expected to work better than its predecessor, Vista. At the same time, Microsoft's marketing has gotten savvier and PC makers have followed Apple Inc.'s lead by improving hardware design. Computers with the Windows operating system suddenly seem a lot less utilitarian. you line up the six or seven most ~sting PC designs, people will say, w.

Setting up home networking to share photos and music won't require an advanced degree in information technology.

The partnership announced Wednesday represents a coup for Microsoft as it tries to spice up its Internet search engine, Bing, in its long-running attempts to Jure traffic from Google. A test version of Bing's :Twitter feature debuted Wednesday. If the alliance pans out the way Microsoft envisions, Bing will become the best way outside of Twitter's own Web site to find out what people are saying in their Twitter messages, or "tweets." The mess, consisting of no more than 140 char·s, can be posted from Internet-conn ed computers or mobile devices. enabling people to share mundane details •about their lives or intriguing news and commentary from all over the world. It's the kind of information that Google 's search engine. far more popular than Bing. can't currently provide. ''We think this is one of the first times that a search engine will be differentiated through access to content," J.P. Morgan analyst Imran Khan wrote Wednesday in ah analysis of the deal. Just how much Microsoft is paying ( Twitter for the rights to the tweets wasn't disclosed. " "There is a revenue component to this deal but we've yet to see how significant that will be," Twitter Chief Executive Evan Williams wrote in a Wednesday e-mail to The Associated Press. Microsoft shares gained 21 cents Wednesday to close at $26.58 while Google shares fell 62 cents to $551.10. In a sign that it intends to offer other ways to probe into people's mindset. Microsoft also said it is working on a deal for Bing to index at least a portion of the updates posted on Facebook - an online hangout with more than 300 million active users around the world. That's about six times the size of Twitter's global audience. but more Facebook users restrict who can see their updates than Twitter mers do. Qi Lu, the head of Microsoft's online division, mentioned the Facebook negotiations before making the Twitter announcement. but said fur,ther details won't be available for some time. Facebook already has a business relationship with Microsoft. which provides Facebook 's search results. Microsoft spent $240 million two years ago to acquire a I .6 percent stake in Facebook. The Microsoft deal may be a financial breakthrough for Twitter Inc., which hadn't generated significant revenue since its 2006 inception. Twitter is possibly unJer more pressure to start makrng money because a group of investors just poured $JOO.million into the company and wi11 be looking for returns. The deal valued Twitter at about $1 billion. The rights to index the millions of tweets posted on Twitter are considered to be among the San Francisco based startup's most prized assets. In a blog posting , Twitter co-founder Biz ~tone indicated the Microsoft partnership isn't exclusive - a factor that might have limited the amount of money paid. ''We hope more working relationships with organizations in the search business will mean even more variety for users," Stone wrote. Khan predicted Google eventually will pay Twitter to gain better access to tv.eets, too. Google didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Williams has previously acknowledged discussing a variety of possible deals with Goode. Williams sold one of his previous startups. Blogger, to Google in 2003 for an undisclosed amount. NEW YORK (AP) - Microsoft's new operating system launches Thursday, and you may be asking: How did we get to Windows 7? Did I miss 5 and 6? No, you didn't. But Microsoft Corp.'s names for the successive versions of Windows have been more than a little confusing. It's easy to get the impressio~ that with every new version of Windows, Mtcrosoft wants us to forget that there was a previous one. Long ago, we had Windows 1, 2 and 3. So far, so good. Then Microsoft started naming its consumer software after the year of release, like a car. and we got Windows 95. That was followed by 98. while professional users oot 4.0. But Windows 2000 wasn't for consu~ers at all - the professional version was now named for its vintage as well. The new millennium raised an obstacle to the year-numbering scheme. Microsoft balked at naming its new system "01,." N~n~ it "2001" wouldn't have worked erther: tmagme all the jokes about the homicidal computer in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey:· So the new Windows became "XP," a not entirely self-evident contraciion of ''experience." There didn't seem to be any other two-letter combination handy to capture Microsoft's goals for the next Windows, so it became ''Vista." A vista is what you might see out of a window, so that makes sense. right? Someone thought so. Vista bombed, prompting Microsoft to make another clean break - the third one and give us Windows 7. Microsoft's official rationale is that "7" is the seventh version of Windows. It gets there by counting up from Windows NT 4.0, skipping Windows 98 and counting both XP and 2000 as No.5. Vista was No.6. Adding to the confusion, Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft's president of Windows, has a variant explanation. saying that Windows 95 was the fom1h version of Windows. But Windows 7 is descended from NT 4.0. not Windows 95. And to further complicate matters, Windows 7 is really Windows 6.1. That's what the operating system will tell software applications that are trying to check which version of Windows they are running on. Windows 7 will say it's 6.1 because it's really a small upgrade from Vista. and programs designed to run on Vista should run with no problems on 7. "The deci~ion to use the name Windows 7 is about simplicity,'' according to Mike Nash at the official Windows blog. He then lays it out in terms as clear as the vista from a newly polished window. Coming up with a new "aspirational name'' like XP or Vista. he writes. would "not do justice to what we are trying to achieve. which is to stay firmly rooted in our aspirations for Windows Vista, while evolving and refining the substantial investments in platfom1 technology in Windows Vista into the next generation of Windows." John Long. a retail strategist at consulting fim1 KUI1 Salmon Associates, points out that it's difficult to come up with words like "Vista" that work well in all languages - an important consideration for a world-span- . ning product like Windows. ''Going back to numbers is logical," Long said. He also pointed out that even if Micro~>oft has been indecisive about what to stick after the ·'Windows;· it has at least been faithful to the "Windows" brand. If you're going to jump on the number train, seven is a good place to do it. The number has mostly positive connotations. if you.exclude the "Seven Deadly Sins." Long said. In Japan in particular, seven is an auspicious number. Images and statues of the seven gods of happiness and luck are commonplace. Going with numbers also sets Microsoft up to call the next version Windows 8, which could be a hit in Asia. Chinese culture is somewhat preoccupied with numbers, and eight is the luckiest of them all. That notion sent a crush of Chinese couples to get married on Aug. 8, 2008. Whether having a lucky number in the operating system would get Chinese consumers to buy software rather than pirate it is another matter. So Microsoft may be on to a naming scheme it can stick with for the long term. But it's taken a long time to get there. Contrast that with Apple Inc.'s approach. It used a consistent numbering scheme for versions I through 9 of its operating system. When it got to 10. the cunent version. it started adding the names of big cats to the sub-releases: Cheetah, Puma. Jaguar, Panther. Tiger. Leopard and Snow Leopard. Each one tells you there's a purring beast inside, ready to tear into your tasks. and each one sounds consistent with the last. ··r think Apple to some degree likes to play the underdog and likes to imbue their products with a lot more personality," Long said. "Animals. do that quite effectively.'' The Windows franchise faces a lot of challenges - among them, Internet search leader Google Inc.'s plans for its own operating system. So Windows may find itself the underdog one day. By then.Apple will have already had a lock on cat<>, but Microsoft could tum to dogs: Windows Greyhound (it's fast), Windows Dachshw1d (it's compact, good for small computers) or Windows Cocker Spaniel (pretty interface). �Page 02 • 6unbap ~~~ -6tntind Sunday, October 25, 2009 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt.

The exercise comes only two days after final congressional approval of the first $32 million in funds for planning and construction for a proposed lab that would r.esearch f?ot-an_dmouth and other ammal d1seases at Kansas State University in Manhattan.

ASSOCIATED PRESS A COLOR-CHANGING CHEMICAL It sure would be hard to explain to any young child why cooking would turn purple beans, such as the variety Royal Burgundy, from purple to green. Which cooking does. You can't respond by just saying, "Anthocyanins, my dear." You may have to wait a few years before offering a thorough answer. A natural group of chemicals, called anthocyanins, are what put the purple in purple green beans. as well as in grapes, plums and, less familiar, purple broccoli. Anthocyanins are also what make roses and geraniums red, and cornflowers and delphiniums blue. Not yellows and oranges, though; those colors come from carotenoids. which also are responsible for certain reds in plants. In the case of beets and bougainvilleas, the red comes from yet another natural pigment, called betacyanin. But back to anthocyanins. How can the very same anthocyanin - and there are a few different kinds that makes one vegetable or flower red make another vegetable or flower blue? Acidity of the cell sap is the key. The particular anthocyanin that is red in the very acidic sap of a rose petal is blue in the less acidic sap of a cornflower petal. Anthocyanins change color with changes in acidity. and eventually turn colorless as acid levels drop. Two things happen during cooking tQ make Royal Burgundy beans turn from purple to green. A direct effect of the heat is to cause decomposition of anthocyanin. Less anthocyanin means less purple. The indirect effect of heat is to burst apart cells. diluting the acidity of the cell sap. The green color, which was present but masked by tpe anthocyanin, becomes prominent once the anthocyanin con- Bv Lee RetcH ' Actually. that purple in a vegetable does do us gardeners some good· The color can be vet)' pretty in the vegetable garden. Also, because Royal Burgundy's foliage stays green. it is easier to pick out the purple pods from among the leaves. And perhaps birds can more easily spot and devour green cabbage worms on purple broccoli and red cabbage than on green varieties of either vegetable. Furthermore, tholie purple beans do not really PURPOSES have to turn green before It may seem foolish to grow you eat them.

A similar thing happens when you cook red cabbage. It turns colorless after awhile. You can also expect purple broccolL purple asparagus. purple tomatillos, even purple peppers to lose their purple color after cooking. Red peppers stay red, though. because carotenoids give them their red color. PURPLE HAS ITS Bv HAL KNEEN Are you looking at rejuvenating your landscape? There is still time to improve your yard before winter sets in. Lawn rejuvenation should wait until early next spring however landscape trees and shrubs still have time to root into the soil before winter sets in. Older landscape plants sometimes just outgrow their initial placement causing windows to be covered up or branches brushing the car, house or walkway to your home. If you want to trim them back, wait until early spring. If the plants just need removal, pull them out now. The soil is dryer then in normal spring weather and you can start forming beds to replant in. Remember to build up landscape beds so they drain away from the height and width of plants you want to landscape with. Extension has many facts h e e t s (www .oh ioline .osu .edu) available to help with the selection process. visit your local garden center or call your local landscaper. ••• Beef producers take note of a regional Cow/Calf School being held at OSU Extension Regional Office in Belle Valley (Noble County) on November 2. 9. 16 and 23rd starting at 6 p.m. Classes covered will be "Water Systems, Pasture and Grazing", ''Herd Health, Vaccinations & Health Related Issues".

In his letter to the game board. Agriculture Commissioner Haymore said keeping Virginia's livestock disease-free is critical for ov. ners "to move their animals in interstate commerce with minimal individual animal testing requirements." The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation voiced similar concems and added another: vehicles colliding with elk. Bulls can weigh up to 900 pounds. ··Imagine the damage they could cause in a collision:· said Wilmer Stoneman of the Farm Bureau. Officials in Kentucky said their elk population is disease free.
