Authorities said teammate Antonio Pierce was being investigated over his role in the 111eekend shooting . while the Super Bowl-champion Giants weren't sure what action they would take , if any, against Burress. The NFL said it was monitoring developments . Mayor Michael Bloomberg . also weighed in, saying it would be an outrage "if we didn't . prosecute to the fullest extent of the law." Burress shot himself in the right thigh in the VIP section of the Latin Quarter nightclub in Manhattan about I a.m. Saturday, police ·said. He did not have a permit to carry a .handgun in New York. . A witness reported hearing a popping sound before Burress'legs began to shake, according to a criminal complaint. It said the person saw a bloody pistol fall out of his pant leg and land on the floor before Burress said "Take me to a hospital." It's believed Pierce took Burress to a car and then left with him, according to police. Burress wa&treated at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill . Cornell Medical Center and released later Saturday. Burress was ,barged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, which could result in a prison sentence of 3 1/2 years to 15 years if he is convicted. He was not required to enter a plea Monday and is due back in court on March 31. Burress did not say anything in court. "He is standing tall. He is a mature adult," said Benjamin Brafman, his defense lawyer. "I think any professional ath· Jete in this situation would be concerned." He said Burress is feeling OK. "If they let him play, he will be able to play. ... I think he will be a superstar for the rest of his career." Originally. police had said that running back · Derrick Ward . was witli Burress and Pierce at the club, relying on infoTnlation given (o them from security guards at the bar. But police said later that it was unclear if Ward was at the club, and the running back denied that he was. The Giants have not decided what to do with Burress, who was suspended for a game and fined earlier this season for missing a team meeting in September. New York could either suspend him again or deactivate him for Sunday's game at home against the Eagles. The~e are more extreme actions, such as releasing Burress, but that could put a strain on the team's salary cap next se.ason. "We're dealing with that," coach Tom Coughlin said in a conference call Monday. 'Today we had some discus- sions and those discussions will be ( ngoing." Coughlin would not speculate what the team would do if Burress showed up for practice Wednesday. Police have looked at security video from the club and hospital and determined that Burress amved at I:20 a.m. and left at I :50 a.m. He anived arthe hospital at 2:04 a.m. and went home II hours later. The shooting occurred as Burress somehow fumbled his gun - .40-caliber Glock - in the VIP section and it discharged, hitting his leg. Pierce was with Burress when that occurred, police said. The weapon was eventually recovered at Burress' house in New Jersey,!!-uthorities said. Police · expressed frustralion with the NFL and Giants officials.• saying they were promised that Pierce would appear at a police precinct Monday where Burress went before heading to court. But Pierce didn't show. Detectives also went to Pierce's house in New Jersey and he was not there. Police said the Giants did send a member of.their medical staff to the precinct who may .be able to shed some light on what transpired the night of the shooting, and presumably to relay Pierce's version of events. "It was a universe of silence after this shooting," ·said Paul Browne, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for public information. Pierce declined to provide specifics about the incident Monday durinjl a radio interview, but sa1d that many facts of the case have been "misconstrued" and "distorted." He has hired an attorney but that he doesn't see hititself being arrested, he said. "Today has been a headache and that's about all Ican say;' lie told WFAN. The Gi~nts released a statement disputing . the police version of their mvolvement. "We are working closely with th~: police and NFL Security," it said. "In the early hours of Saturday morning, as we started to get a sense of what we were dealing with, we did, in fact, notify NFL Security, which then contacted the police." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello also said in a statement the league was cooperating. "In addition, it will be reviewed under our league policies," he said.

AS �LOCAL • STATE ·The I)aily Sentinel . Know legal requirements to .marry Q: What are the requirements for marriage in Ohio? A: Ohio law, imposes a number of requirements which must be met l>ef~re a couple may legally m,arry. These mclude the followmg: · . . Age: In general a male must be at least 18 and the female at least 16 years old. A minor must first obtain the consent of his or her parents or guardian. Pre-marriage counseling is required when either party is under the age of 18. Mental and physical capacity: Since marriage is a contract, each ind1vidual must possess the mental capacity to understand the nature of the marriage relationship. Also. each must possess the physical capacity to consummate the mamage . Kinship: The couple must not be nearer of kin than sec.ond cousins. It should be noted that adult incest (marrying or having sexual relations with someone who is nearer than a second cousin) is no longer a criminal offense in Ohio. Single status: Each individual must be single. The crime of bigamy is committed when someone marries knowing he or she is still married to someone else. Heterosexuality: Individuals of the same sex cannot bind themselves in legal marriage in Ohio. Marriage license requ·irement: A license must be obtained from the probate court in the county where either of the couple resides or. if neither is a resident of Ohio. where the marriage is to be performed. Both parties seeking the license must personally appear in the probate court and apply for the Iicense. However. this requirement cim be waived if either is ill or disabled and provides a physician's affidavit to that effect. Also. no license will be issued if either of the applicants is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, · Failure to follow the various requirements could provide grounds for an annulment or for having the marriage later declared void by a court. Q: Who may perform the marriage? A: Under Ohio law the following persons are authorized to bind a couple in marriage: • an ordained or licensed minister of any religious·society or congregation who has obtained a license issued by the Ohio Secretary of State; • any municipal, probate, or county court judge; the mayor of a municipality; • the superintendent of the State School for the De'af, · • and any religious society according to its rules and regulations. .This authorization provision also applies to certain .religious sects that have no regular clergy. In such a marriage ceremony, the bride and groom exchange their marriage vows in front of the congregation and proclaim themselves \O be husband and wife, Q: Must the couple recite specific words in order to become legally .married? . A: No. Rather, it is the intent of the parties-expressed in the ~ow of marriage-that establishes the marriage contract. The vow does not need to include·any specific words, but it must express the couple's intent to take of each other ·at the moment it is spoken; it cannot be a promise to do something in the future. Also, no religious ceremony is required. · .· This "Law You Can Use" column provided was by the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA).

Ohio upgrades criminal tracking system for victims CINCINNATI (AP) Crime victims will be able to follow inmates after they are released on parole or · probation thanks to upcom)ng changes to Ohio :s crimina! tracking system. State ofticials say a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice will allow Ohio to upgrade its current tracking system by 20 I0. : "It will empower victims and allo:v them more control over the1r own sl!ua!lon and · safety.'.' said Matt Hellman, ~dmm1strator of the Oh10 .!lttomey g~ne"'!.'s office of ~ 1 ctnn serv1ces. Jf they need to, they can make plans for their own safety and for the safety of friends and family." Victims already can check the status of current jnmates• still in prison through the Ohio · Department of Rehabilitation and Correction\ internal tracking system and by phone ·and email through a national automated information and notification network. That. systern provides information on changes to an inmate's status, including releases, tran,f~rs. escapes and deaths. The enhancements to the system - known as Victim lnfonnation and Notification Everyday, or VINE - will allow victims to follow offenders' movements after they are released. The new information will include updates on ari offender's status while under superv.ision , including any parole violations or upcoming hearings information which hasn 't been a lejlal requirement for the nollfication process, state officials said. ., The system aiso tracks inmates who are moved to the state's intensive · prison program, which puts prisoners through specialized education and treatment , allowing them to possibly earn earlier release dates. A woman whose daughter was ftve months pregnant when she was killed by her husband in southern Ohio in 200 I favored the upgrade, even though the man · isn' t eligible for parole until2041.

Know legal requirements to .marry Q: What are the requirements for marriage in Ohio? A: Ohio law, imposes a number of requirements which must be met l>ef~re a couple may legally m,arry. These mclude the followmg: · . . Age: In general a male must be at least 18 and the female at least 16 years old. A minor must first obtain the consent of his or her parents or guardian. Pre-marriage counseling is required when either party is under the age of 18. Mental and physical capacity: Since marriage is a contract, each ind1vidual must possess the mental capacity to understand the nature of the marriage relationship. Also. each must possess the physical capacity to consummate the mamage . Kinship: The couple must not be nearer of kin than sec.ond cousins. It should be noted that adult incest (marrying or having sexual relations with someone who is nearer than a second cousin) is no longer a criminal offense in Ohio. Single status: Each individual must be single. The crime of bigamy is committed when someone marries knowing he or she is still married to someone else. Heterosexuality: Individuals of the same sex cannot bind themselves in legal marriage in Ohio. Marriage license requ·irement: A license must be obtained from the probate court in the county where either of the couple resides or. if neither is a resident of Ohio. where the marriage is to be performed. Both parties seeking the license must personally appear in the probate court and apply for the Iicense. However. this requirement cim be waived if either is ill or disabled and provides a physician's affidavit to that effect. Also. no license will be issued if either of the applicants is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, · Failure to follow the various requirements could provide grounds for an annulment or for having the marriage later declared void by a court. Q: Who may perform the marriage? A: Under Ohio law the following persons are authorized to bind a couple in marriage: • an ordained or licensed minister of any religious·society or congregation who has obtained a license issued by the Ohio Secretary of State; • any municipal, probate, or county court judge; the mayor of a municipality; • the superintendent of the State School for the De'af, · • and any religious society according to its rules and regulations. .This authorization provision also applies to certain .religious sects that have no regular clergy. In such a marriage ceremony, the bride and groom exchange their marriage vows in front of the congregation and proclaim themselves \O be husband and wife, Q: Must the couple recite specific words in order to become legally .married? . A: No. Rather, it is the intent of the parties-expressed in the ~ow of marriage-that establishes the marriage contract. The vow does not need to include·any specific words, but it must express the couple's intent to take of each other ·at the moment it is spoken; it cannot be a promise to do something in the future. Also, no religious ceremony is required. · .· This "Law You Can Use" column provided was by the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA).

Ohio upgrades criminal tracking system for victims CINCINNATI (AP) Crime victims will be able to follow inmates after they are released on parole or · probation thanks to upcom)ng changes to Ohio :s crimina! tracking system. State ofticials say a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice will allow Ohio to upgrade its current tracking system by 20 I0. : "It will empower victims and allo:v them more control over the1r own sl!ua!lon and · safety.'.' said Matt Hellman, ~dmm1strator of the Oh10 .!lttomey g~ne"'!.'s office of ~ 1 ctnn serv1ces.

Victims already can check the status of current jnmates• still in prison through the Ohio · Department of Rehabilitation and Correction\ internal tracking system and by phone ·and email through a national automated information and notification network. That. systern provides information on changes to an inmate's status, including releases, tran,f~rs. escapes and deaths. The enhancements to the system - known as Victim lnfonnation and Notification Everyday, or VINE - will allow victims to follow offenders' movements after they are released. The new information will include updates on ari offender's status while under superv.ision , including any parole violations or upcoming hearings information which hasn 't been a lejlal requirement for the nollfication process, state officials said. ., The system aiso tracks inmates who are moved to the state's intensive · prison program, which puts prisoners through specialized education and treatment , allowing them to possibly earn earlier release dates. A woman whose daughter was ftve months pregnant when she was killed by her husband in southern Ohio in 200 I favored the upgrade, even though the man · isn' t eligible for parole until2041.

' Index", or CPI, a market basket of goods and services that the average person consumes each month. When there's a price increase of something in the basket - food , gas, elec tricity or electropics, for example - the buying power of the dollars consumers earn go down. Ohio builds its state budget every two years on "two main · taxes: the personal income tax and the sales and use tax. Both.are closely linked to the strength of consumer buying power. "CPI doesn't really affect your income.

Sabety predicted that personal income tax •revenue will fall from $9.1 billion this year to $7.7 billion in 10 II, marking the first twoyear decline since 1972. She also predicted that sales tax revenue will fall from $7 .6 billion this year to $7 .4. billion in 20 II , suffering the first two-year decline since 1950. · Tax revenues have already plummeted over the · past 10 weeks, she said. and an extended recession could make the economic situation even worse. The national ' economic picture , the decline of Ohio 's manufacturingintensive economy and phased-in reductions in state income taxes are contributing to the revenue crisis. said Zach Schiller, research director for Policy Matters Ohio, a Cleveland-based· liberal think tank. "We have, by policy. been reducing the revenue available to the.state through our major tax overhaul. of 2005, which, bX the time it's com- . plete, wtll reduce personal" mcome taxes by 21 percent , costing $2 billion (to the state) ." he said. "I would ask: Why are we so busy cutting taxes when we're in the middle of thi s maelstrom ?" But Zaino , who helped craft the 2005 tax package , said there is no evidence that those ~hanges to the tax code are exacerbating the bad economy's negative impact. . "It's certainly not by any stretch entirely responsible for this problem. That's simply the economy," he said.

' Index", or CPI, a market basket of goods and services that the average person consumes each month. When there's a price increase of something in the basket - food , gas, elec tricity or electropics, for example - the buying power of the dollars consumers earn go down. Ohio builds its state budget every two years on "two main · taxes: the personal income tax and the sales and use tax. Both.are closely linked to the strength of consumer buying power. "CPI doesn't really affect your income. If ·you made $1,000 last year, and you make $1.000 this year, your tax will be tlie same," said To"m Zaino, a former state tax commissiof\er who now heads the Columbus office of the McDonBJd Hopkins law finn.

Sabety predicted that personal income tax •revenue will fall from $9.1 billion this year to $7.7 billion in 10 II, marking the first twoyear decline since 1972. She also predicted that sales tax revenue will fall from $7 .6 billion this year to $7 .4. billion in 20 II , suffering the first two-year decline since 1950. · Tax revenues have already plummeted over the · past 10 weeks, she said. and an extended recession could make the economic situation even worse. The national ' economic picture , the decline of Ohio 's manufacturingintensive economy and phased-in reductions in state income taxes are contributing to the revenue crisis. said Zach Schiller, research director for Policy Matters Ohio, a Cleveland-based· liberal think tank. "We have, by policy. been reducing the revenue available to the.state through our major tax overhaul. of 2005, which, bX the time it's com- . plete, wtll reduce personal" mcome taxes by 21 percent , costing $2 billion (to the state) ." he said. "I would ask: Why are we so busy cutting taxes when we're in the middle of thi s maelstrom ?" But Zaino , who helped craft the 2005 tax package , said there is no evidence that those ~hanges to the tax code are exacerbating the bad economy's negative impact. . "It's certainly not by any stretch entirely responsible for this problem. That's simply the economy," he said. "I would challenge someone saying tax reform is impacting this deficit , in terms of dollars in the door, because perhaps we would be under worse conditions without it . There's no way. of knowing."

With the momentum shifting bilck in favor of the visitors, Marcum came off the bench for the ftrst time since the opening moments of the second .half and imm!'(!iately made an impact, scoring a basket to give RVHS a 3J-31 lead. But that spark was shon lived as Gallia Academy retook the lead moments later and Marcum was sent packing with her ftfth foul. Gallia Academy's answer came in the form of a Noe triple to take the lead back and from there the Angels never looked back again. . GAHS pushed its lead to. three moments later where the score would hover until Jones gave the Blue and White a little breathing room. · Holding on to a 38-36 lead, Jones drove to the basket and put up an easy deuce while dmwing ·a foul in the process. Jones then tacked on the freebie to give Gallia Academy a 41-36 lead with a little over a minure to play and the Angels were able to use that advantage to drain the clock and hold on for the ftve point victory. In the waning moments River Valley sent ·several Angels to the foul line, but Gallia responded going 10for-I~ at the stripe in the fourth,quarter. . The big fourth quarter, which saw Gallia Academy and River Valley combine for 40 total points, was only five pointS shy of the 45 point total scored in the flfSt tfuee quarters combined. Gallia Academy .outscored the Lady Raiders, 11-9 ~ the first quarter and 10-9 in the second to ta!Ce a .21-18 half- · time lead. And ·in t)!e third ,quarter, the two stagnent offenses hit a new low with only three points scotia apiece to give the home team a 24-21 advantage en~ng the final frame.

With the momentum shifting bilck in favor of the visitors, Marcum came off the bench for the ftrst time since the opening moments of the second .half and imm!'(!iately made an impact, scoring a basket to give RVHS a 3J-31 lead. But that spark was shon lived as Gallia Academy retook the lead moments later and Marcum was sent packing with her ftfth foul. Gallia Academy's answer came in the form of a Noe triple to take the lead back and from there the Angels never looked back again. . GAHS pushed its lead to. three moments later where the score would hover until Jones gave the Blue and White a little breathing room. · Holding on to a 38-36 lead, Jones drove to the basket and put up an easy deuce while dmwing ·a foul in the process. Jones then tacked on the freebie to give Gallia Academy a 41-36 lead with a little over a minure to play and the Angels were able to use that advantage to drain the clock and hold on for the ftve point victory. In the waning moments River Valley sent ·several Angels to the foul line, but Gallia responded going 10for-I~ at the stripe in the fourth,quarter. . The big fourth quarter, which saw Gallia Academy and River Valley combine for 40 total points, was only five pointS shy of the 45 point total scored in the flfSt tfuee quarters combined. Gallia Academy .outscored the Lady Raiders, 11-9 ~ the first quarter and 10-9 in the second to ta!Ce a .21-18 half- · time lead. And ·in t)!e third ,quarter, the two stagnent offenses hit a new low with only three points scotia apiece to give the home team a 24-21 advantage en~ng the final frame.

Bowl Championship Senes. But the guys who run it don't have to go through the next six weeks, let alone the next six years, watching their brand being kicked around like a rusty can everywhere from the Oval Office down to the comer tavern . · All they have to do is change. A little. Start by admitting their mistake last spring in shooting down a proposal from outgoing BCS chief Mike Slive that effectively would have allowed for a fourteam playoff with a few modificattons of the existing system. Then start seriously reconsidering it this .week. There 's no time like the present and nobody , after all, who loves tweaking things more than they do . Under threat of a lawsuit from the mid-major conferences, the BCS added a fifth bowl to its postseason roster in 2006, ostensibly to make it easier for small schools to qualify for one of the bigmoney games as an "atlarge" invitee. What Slive proposed was that whenever the regular season ended the way this one likely will - with thre.e or more deserving contenders . and only two · slots available in the BCS national championship gamethat the fifth bowl be used as a so-called "plus-one." Like the current championship game, it would be played a week after' the four · BCS bowls. What's different is that one or both of the slots in the "plus-one" wouldn't be filled until those games had been decided. It's not as democratic as the eight-team playoff that most fans favor and president-elect Barack Obama pushed in two separat.: TV appearances last month. And it would certainly raise a ruckus from any conference that lost a second BCS powl slot to make room if the contender that replaced it was drawn from a different league. . But the "plus-one" would go a long way toward plugging the holes in a system that's leaking credibility like a sieve - and will for years to come. College football is careening toward its most unsatisfying ,conclusion in the I0 yeats since the BCS took control of the postsea• son, and that's no coincidence. With more parity in the sport and more schools playing 12 games during the regular season (and 13 for those from conferences with title games), the chances that teams will separate themselves from the pack by going undefeated $eems less with each passing year. If Florida beats Alabama in the SEC championship game, Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 title game (more on that in a moment), and USC beats UCLA, all ·on tap for the final weekend, this regular season will conclude with seven .one-loss teams from the six major BCS confer, ences and almost as many potential headaches. · At the moment, Texas. looks like the recipient of · the BCS ' annual " life-i sn'tfair" award. The Longhorns have already been denied the chance to play for their conference tttle , despite beating Big 12 South division rival Oklahoma in a head-to-head matchup and finishing with the same Il l record. And Texas Tech , a third member of the Big 12 South, could make almost as good an argu·ment . The Red Raiders also went ll -1 and beat Texas, but got hammered so thoroughly by Oklahoma that unlike his counterparts at both schools. coach Mike Leach has n't wasted much of his breath lobbying . He suggested using graduation rates to break the three-way deadlock. Instead , the Sooners will play North division urvivor Missouri because the Big 12's fifth tiebreaker rule - higher BCS rating - gave . them the nod over Texas. That decision is wrong on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin. · The BCS ranking is made up of three equally weighted components: the USA Today coaches ' and ·Harris Interactive polls , and six computers. The machines aren't entirely withou! bias, since they process whatever information they're given.
