Throughout last season the Ohio State coach said he had no idea where his team was ranked by the BCS, even as the Buckeyes climbed·the charts and eventually earned a spot in the national championship game. The No. 2 Buckeyes beat No. I Miami 31-24 in the Fiesta Bowl to capture their first No. 1 ranking in 34 years. Again this season, Tres\(:1 has sworn he remained oblivious to where hi s Buckeyes are ranked in the polls or by the BCS . But that changed when Virginia Tech, Miami and Florida State - all ahead of the Buckeyes a week ago in the BCS ran kings - lost over the weekend to fall out of the race for the national championship, held this year at the Sugar Bowl. . "We're third," Tressel declared Tuesday with a wide grin. "I did my homework." For the Buckeyes to get a shot at defending their title. they must win their remaining two games. Then they must hope they can slide by No. I Oklahoma or No. 2 Southern Cal in the com~ination of computer ratings and polls that make up the BCS rankings and determine the opponents in the national title game. "My take is this: There's no way we can go up if we don 't win," Tressel said. The Buckeyes, No . 4 in The Associated Press poll, host No. II Purdue on Saturday then travel to No. 5 Michigan in the annual rivalry on Nov. 22 "(The BCS) is in . the back of your mind," tight end Ben Hartsock said. "But you can only concern yourself with so many things before the law of diminish- ing returns start s commg into play. We ' ve got a lot' on our plate ri ght now. tt:s totally cliche, but we can 't let ourselves become overly engulfed in that. We need a couple of things to go our way." · Top-ranked Okl ahoma has game s remaining at home against Bay lor and Texas Tech before playing in the Big 12 championship game. No. 2 Southern Cal plays at Arizona, then · home against UCLA and Oregon State. Offensive lineman Shane Olivea said if the Buckeyes win their final two games, they deserve to be in the title game ahead of Southern Cal. "Purdue right now is No . I0 and Michigan is No. 5. Those are better than a UCLA and an Oregon State win," he said. " If we win out and they win out, I don't understand ho·w you can keep the defending national champion out. How could we not defend our title ?" Tressel said he didn't think hi s players were concerned about the national championship yet. · "We all feel the same way - we don't cafe who puts us where, who ranks us where because right now we're at a point where we know if we don't go out and handle our business against two of the best teams in the country, then it definitely doesn't matter," quarterback Craig Krenzel said Tuesday night. The Buckeyes are tied for the Big Ten lead heading into the final two weeks and must win both games to be assured their first outright conference title in almost two decades. "Someone asked me have I heard the players talking about it (the BCS)," Tressel said. " And I said, you know, I ha ve to be honest with you, the thing I've heard the players talk about is the fac t that we ha ve not been the outright Big Ten champions since 1984. . "I haven't heard any of them talk about where we are in the BCS. But I don ' t mind the fact that people are talking about it outside of our locker room, bec ause that means we still have a chance." Like a taiiback avoiding an arm tackle. Tressel ducks questions dealing with the polls and rankin gs. He votes in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll , but won' t di sclose where he lists teams even his own - on hi s ballot. After twice say ing he didn' t know how he voted this week. he joked, "Are you going to get me fired off the ESPN poll'' Maybe I should say I can't remember." Tressel said he relies on his coaching staff to 'fill out his ballot. In hi s third year at Ohio State, Tressel spent the previous 15 years as the head coach at Youngstown State . Four times the Penguins won national championships in the 1-AA playoffs, He said his Youngstown State players closely watched the rankings that determine the playoff teams. ·"Come November, you had to find out if you were going to be in the top 16 and have a chance to make a run at it," he said. But under the current system, he said the Buckeyes cannot ~fford to look at the big picture as long as the Purdue game is just days away. "Is it a good thing that (the BCS) is talked about? Absolutely,'' Tressel said. "It's just not a good thing if our players are talking about it. They need to be thinking about Purdue. They need to leave that for someone else. just like the coaches do." .Coker benches Winslow, others BY MARK LONG Associated Press CORAL GABLES, Fla. Miami coach Larry Coker benched tight end Kellen Winslow on Tuesday, punishing the team's top receiver for his behavior on the field. Coker also benched center Joel Rodriguez and quarterback Brock Berlin, meaning the 14th-ranked Hunicanes (72) will have a total of six offensive players in new positions Saturday against Syracuse. Winslow was benched for committing two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in losses to Virginia Tech and Tennessee. Rodriguez was benched for committing a critical holding penalty in the fourth quarter against the Volunteers. And Berlin was benched after throwing 14 iruerceptions and fumbling three times in nine games. ..We' re doing everything we can to address any problems we have on our football team," offensive line coach Art Kehoe said. " If it means somebody's got to get benched or we ' ve got to start somebody else, we ' re going to do whatever it takes to get this ship right. "The bench has always been the coach's best vehicle throughout sports history. Has it not? It's the best thing I know of." Winslow and Rodriguez will not start against Syracuse (53), but Coker said they will play in the game. Berlin could play, too, but Coker said it will depend on how backup Derrick Crudup performs. Winslow was penalized 15 yards in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 10-6 loss to Tennessee for taking off his helmet. After the game, Winslow said his helmet was ripped off. He then lashed out at the officials in a profanitylaced tirade that ended with him referring to football as war and himself as a soldier. · Winslow apologized a day later. He also nearly got !lagged for celebrating a hard-hitting block on safety Corey Campbell in the third quarter. In a 31-7 loss to Virginia Tech, he was !lagged 15 yards for punching linebacker Brandon Manning. "We've got to understand we can't have that," Coker said. "It hurts our football team. The most pain you can intlict on a player is playing time, so I am goin~ to take away some playing ume." Kevin Everett will start in place of Winslow, who leads the team with 51 catches for 527 yards. Rodri guez was !lagged for his fifth holding penalty of the season against the Vols. It came on first-and- 10 at the Tennessee 30 with. Miami trailing 10-6 early in the fourth, quarter. The 10-yard penalty took the Hunicanes out of field-goal range, and the drive ended three plays later when Berlin fumbled. "It is embarrassing ," Rodriguez said. "It would be worse if it was just me, but the fact that it's me and Kellen eases the tension a little bit because Kellen is such a marquee player. It's unsettling. but that comes with the territory of starting at a big-time program like this and not doing things that coaches have addressed." Without Rodriguez, the Hurricanes will move right guard Chris Myers to center, shift left tackle Eric Winston to left guard and insert Rashad Butler at left tackle and Joe McGrath at right guard. The moves are also necessary becau se left guard Vernon .Carey is likely out with a · sprained right ankle. The only linemen who remains unchanged is right tackle Carlos Joseph. "We' re just trying to make a statement that if you're going to make a lot of penalties, you're going to sit along the sideline with me and watch the game," Kehoe said. Berlin threw four interceptions and fumbled once in the two losses. Even more glaring, the offense managed just one touchdown in the two games. Robinson's plane·makes emergency landing TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) - Fonner NBA star David Robinson's flight to Ohio made an emergency landing Tuesday at Texarkana Regtonal Airport after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit. Robinson, his manager and a flight crew of three were not injured, airport manager Steve Luebbert said. Robinson was on his way to Cincinnati for a speaking engage- ment. "They were at 40,000 feet when they called the landing in," said Texarkana Police Department spokesman Bart Veal. "Apparently somebody smelled something burning, and shortly after that they did see smoke in the cockpit and called an emergency landing." Luebbert said the almost brand-new ·oistrict 8 1-yard fumble return. Join ing Johnson on the fi rst team offensive side are lineme n Scott Saunders and from Page 81 Nathan Wood.

I am disappointed our staff has not been able to get him to accept the . expectations we have of how the wide rec.~riv­ er position should be played." Johnson had 192 receptions for 2,181 yards and 15 TDs in 41 games under Davis. Johnson was stunned to hear Davis' reasons behind releasing him. "I gue ss I wasn't good enough," he said. "This is crazy." Johnson's relationship with Davis had been strained for some time. As early as 2001, Davis' first season in Cleveland, he tried to trade Johnson. Benched last week in favor of second-year wideout Andre ' Davi s, Johnson only got on the fi eld for a handful of plays in Sunday 's 41-20 loss at Kan sas City. . He had one catch , giving him 73 straight games with a reception. Davi s had three catches for 35 yards starting in Johnson's place. · Johnson said he never questioned his benc11ing. In fact, he was the one who told Andre' Davis that he would be starting. "I took it like a man," said Johnson, whose 315 receptions tied him for fourth on the club's career list.

The stonm with wind gusts up to 51 mph broke windows and ripped off part of the roof at a Rubbenmaid plant in Wooster 50 miles south of Cleveland. Wooster Community Hospital treated seven people for minor injuries, most involving employees at the plant, a nursing supervisor said.

The ltbranes also would have to deny R-rated mov1e rentals to patrons under 17 unless the ;eenag_ers have thetr parents permt sston. However, a professor of constttultonal _law -~t. Ohto State Umv.erst~y Said the movte ren\al langu~ge, as mtrodu~ed,_ hkely would be unconstttuttonal. The legislation would align Ohio law with federal guidelines on use of the Internet in libraries, said Sen. Steve Austria, the bill's sponsor. The Legislature in 1997 required library boards to develop policies that limited Internet access. Most use filtering programs that block Web sites with certain words or images. The bill by Austria, a Beavercreek Republican, would put the guidelines into permanent law. The bill would require libraries to follow the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system in renting . movies .. to patrons. The MPAA system prohibits people under 17 from entering a theater showing an R-rated film unless accompanied by a parent. Austria's bill would prohibit libraries from renting R-rated movies to those under 17 unless the patron's parents signed a waiver, he said . . "This issue was brought to my attention by some parents in my district," Austria said. "As the parent of three children, I have concerns about my children going to the library and accessing porn or renting out R-rated movies." Putting the MPAA ratings into state law that sets library· standards would be "patiently unconstitutional," OSU professor David Goldberger said. "R-rated movies are an industry rating, not a constitutionally recognized rating." The section that requires Internet filters also presents a constii~tional challenge, , Goldberger said.

In southeast Ohio, schools in three counties were closed Wednesday because of high water on roads from !lash flooding caused by heavy overnight rains.

The state has 250 public library systems. The state is sup(l'lying $475 million to libraries in the budget year that began July I.

A.: It is probably not a good · !ea to buy a home simply because interest rates are low. However, if you are considering buying a home, it is certain ly preferable to buy when intere st rates are favorable, especially when banks . are offering financial incentives to attract buyers, such as reducing or waiving certain financing ·and closing costs. Even with low interest rates, buyers need to be sure they can afford the loan along with other costs associated with home ownership. Q.: Aren't there tax advantages in owning a home? A.: Yes, there may be income tax advantages in owning a home. Depending upon a taxpayer's circumstances, the mortgage interest paid can be used to reduce taxable income. But again, 'the tax advantage alone probably is not enough reason to buy a home. Remember that you have to pay ihe interest in order to be able to deduct it. So you pay for the deduction. But if you otherwise would be paying some amount for rent, which is not deductible, there may be a tax : ; : . · : : : · : "The healthcare industry employs approximately 74,000 people in West Virginia in~lud­ mg 36,000 employees wnhm the hospital environment.

A.: Refinan cing typically will produce one of tw o results. It can either reduce the monthly payment over the sa me time period as the prior mortgage, or it can keep the same monthly payment but shorten the term of the . mortgage . Homeowners should consider which change, and how much of a change, is significant enough to warrant refinancing. Also, costs such as real estate taxes and insurance,which may be part of your current monthly payment, should be factored in when determining the monthly payment amount of a new mortgage .

Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor GUEST VIEW Care :Car batteries worth charging. .. on your credit card If you drive in harsh-weather conditions, your car's banery may be lac king the power it's supposed to be packing. A measure of staning current at 0 degrees Fahrenheit, cold· crankmg amps - or CCA - is important in frigid climes, where th1ckened engine 011 and reduced ballery capac1ty make starting harder. Claimed CCA has long been a selhng p01nt, p;,rticularly for Northern drivers. But banery manufacturers base those CCA claims on an industry test that charges batteries at voltages higher than most vehicle-charging systems provide. We believe that can make batteries look better than they really are. In our tests, we fully charge batteries to the 14.5 volts typically supplied by vehicles in the real world. Results of these tests show s1gmticant difference s, even among baneries with similar CCA claims. Our results also highlight models that are most likely to perform well in your car. We recently tested batteries from group size 75 (which fits some midsized Chrysler cars, rece nt General Motors subcompact and compact cars, and most pre-1995 GM vehicles) and group SJZe 34178 The latter replaces two balteries: the stze 34 that fits many large Chrysler cars and minivans; and the s1ze 78 that fits many GM truck;;, SUVs and sedans. We checked real-world CCA performance by measuring battery voltage after crankmg the engine for IS seconds at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. We also conducted a "life test," measuring how well a battery can endure hot conditions, and assessed each model's reserve capacity - the time a fully charged battery can run a car if its alternator or other chargmg-system component fails. Models scoring h1ghest in reserve capacity should power your car for some two hours with the lights and wipers .on. And they're likeliest to start your car if you forget to turn the lights oft. For drivers most concerned about starting their engines 111 cold weather, we recommend the group size 75 DieHard Weather Handler 30075 ($60, from Sears), and the group size 34178 Nascar NXDT34 ($100) and Kirkland Signature 12860 (at $60 from Cos teo, tt's a CR Best Buy). The DieHard and the Kirkland batteries are des igned for colder climates and sold exclusively in the North. The Nascar is sold nationwide. All deliver the best blend of heat endurance and cold-staning per. formance i,n their group sizes. If reserve power matters most to you, cons1der the group size 75 Ex ide Nascar Select 75-84N ($80), and the group size 34178 DieHard SUV, Truck & Van 39890 or DieHard SUV, Truck & Van 39990 (each $90, from Sears). The Exide is sold natJonwJde, whi le the D1eHard 39890 and 39990 are available only in the North and South, respectively. All three excelled in reserve capacity, although the Exide scored lower in our life test. Top sconng !rom our past tests o f group size 35 batteries fitting most Nissans and Toyotas, as well as 1998-2002 Honda Accords, and 1990 and newer Subarus - is the D1eHard WeatherHandler 30335 ($60, from Sears stores in the South). The Exide Nascar Select 35-84N ($80, nationwide) is a good cold-weather battery that excels in reserve capacity. In group size 65 - fittmg most large Ford vehicles - top scorers in both CO\ and reserve capacity are the DieHard Gold 33165 ($80, from Sears stores in the South) and the Exide Nascar Select 65-84N ($80, nationwide.) You can determine your car's battery group size and CCA reqUirements (most carmakers spec1fy a CCA level for their 'vehicles) by checking the owner's manual or a catalog at the store. Use battery manufacturers claimed CCA only as a rough guide. From our most-recent tests, just one battery the group size 34178 Nascar NXDT34 - actually matched its claimed CCA.

Death in Iraq is taking its toll politically as local media coverage of each body bag and burial drives home the costs of war. More than 390 soldiers from 46 states, the District of Columbia and two U.S. terri tories have died in Iraq since the war began March 20. All 16 of the most critical pulitical states - those Bush won or lost by 5 percentage points or less - have suffered fatalities. Five battleground states - Michigan , Ohio, Florida, Mi ssuun and Pennsylvania have lost I 0 or more soldiers. Thi s steady drizzle of death is creeping into the American consciousness . causing even independent and Republicanleaning voters like Webb to question Bush's policies . "I liked Bush .

Closed DOWN ON THE The Daily Sentinel Extension Corner Protect your strawberry plants POMEROY Do you grow your own strawberries'' Get ready for winter by purchasi ng mulching material to pl ace over your strawberry patch. Patrick Byers from the of Missouri University reminds both commercial and homeowners to mulch their strawberries . as plants are quite vu lnerable to cold inju ry. Research in Ohio has show n that the crow ns of strawberry plants can suffer dam age at a temperature of 12 degrees F. and below. Drying out (desiccation) is the second most co mmon problem in strawberries as winter's flu ctuating weather freezes and thaws the water around their root system . A higher incident of black root rot has bee n measured in unmulched strawberry beds. Mulch should be applied when soil temperatures fall to 40 degrees· F. at a four-inch depth for three consecutive days. You need a soil thermometer to accurately measure this. Nonnally in our region, mulch would he applied in early to mid December. Newer vari eties of strawberrie s on raised beds may be more sensitive to cold weather. Traditionally, a straw mltlch of two to three inches has been applied, which amounts to 150 pounds (three bales) per I ,000 square feet. Wheat, ric e, oats or Sudan grass straw may be used . Make sure. it is weed free and free of seed heads. Raised beds may need twi ce the amount of straw to adequately protect Hal Kneen the strawberry plants. A recent development is the use of row covers to protect strawberry beds. University of Mi ssouri research demonstrate s the need for usi ng heavier weight polypropylene spun-bonded fabric bed cover of at least one and one quarter ounce per square yard of material. Although expensive to purchase, the row cover fabnc is expected to last three to four years. It doe s need to be applied on still days, carefully tied down using soil, wire anchors or sand to prevent wind damage. checked on a daily basis to see if it has been blown off and stored in the spring and summer .in a spot out of sun light. ...

That catchall phrasing puts a lot of posies in the pot: Wild roses , for example . Chicory. It comes as no surprise , then, th at many wildflowers are grouped among the undesirables. "Wildflowers," one disapproving wag wrote, "are weeds with a press agent."

"When they got here and the farmers opened fields from the woods, they (wildflowers) took over like wildfire," Sanders said. "'fhey didn ' t have any natural enemies." With the exceptions of milkweed and thistles, few native varieties were considered pests. "Most were used by farmers for foods or flavorings," Sanders says. Wildflowers enrich woodlots with their color; nourish insects and other 'foraging , critters . Many wildflowers have medicinal value or are otherwise utilitarian - dye plants or plants used for mak· mg fabrics. Many have fascinating histories . That include~ the despised dandelion, which Sanders calls one of his favorite flowers. "It doesn' t push other flowers out. It's an attractive flower and most every part can be used for food," he says. "Its roots can be roasted as a coffee substitute. The blossoms can be made into wine.

Roethlisberger put Miami ahead to stay with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Matt Brandt on a game-openin~ drive into the wind, and finished it off wnh a I 0-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter. The junior quarterback joined Marshall's Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich as tl1e only MAC players to throw for 3.000 yards in three seasons. 'They ' ve got a great quarterback," Pruett said .

The Royals won their first nine games this year, got off to a 16-3 start and were 51-41 at the All-Star break, leading the AL Central by seven games.

We' ve had those types of quarterbacks on our side." · Roethlisberger, who completed 18 of 29 passes, also made the ga me's signature play, putting his head down and running over linebacker Gladstone Coke for a 14-yard gain that kept the opening drive going. By contrast, Marshall's Graham Gochneaur had problems with the wind and the defensive pressure. His off-target throw into the wind was intercepted by linebacker Terna Nande and returned 43 yards for a touchdown that made it 21 -0.

"They have some nice skill players, and their youn g quarterback looks like he's going to be a great player. It wi II be nice to be. abl e to learn behind Jimmy Smith and it will be a fre sh start for me." Two weeks ago in a loss to San Diego, Johnson dropped a crucial pass on fourth down in the fourth quarter, cut short a route that led to an interception and underthrew a pass on a reverse that should have been a touchdown . Davis was disappointed , and for only the second time in 73 games. Johnson didn' t start last week against Kansas City. ''We have bee n trying for almost three seasons to help Ke vin perform to the leve l of ex pectations we ha ve had for him," Dav is said Tue sday. The Browns signed Johnson to a four-year extension with a $3.5 million signing bonus before last season. He was lirst pick of the second round - the second playe r the Brown s took behind Tim Couch when they re-entered the league in 1999. He hoped to end his career in Cleveland, but instead fini shed there with Browns from Page 81 3 15 catches. good for fourth on the team's all -time list. Johnson said getting cut 'was "a complete shock to me. " By taking him Off waivers. the Jaguars wi II ass ume the unpaid portion of his contract - not including the bonus which was worth $13.35 mil lion when the Browns sig ned the extension. He is due to make $950.000 thi s season. "He 's a productive player in thi s league, · he makes plays, he gave us a chance to upgrade the roster. so we put a claim in," Harri s said. AP sport.\' writer Withers in Cleveland also contributed to rhis repurr. That's why he is held to a higher standard ." Brown s defensive end Kenard Lan g said he was unaware of Johnson's shortcom ings , and he wasn' t about to cha llenge Policy's critique of his form er teammate. " If Mr. Poli cy saw it, I saw it." Lang said. "I'm not arguing with the man. Whatever he says, goes." However, none of the Browns were wi ll ing to characterize Johnson as a bad teammate . "He was never a negative influence , not to me and not to other guy s," safety Earl Little. " I don't watch their (offensive) game filrn. All I know is that in the locker room he was a coo l guy and a good team- to compete and participate as a member of the team if he couldn't b.e the starter," Poli cy said. Butch Davi s · said he had run out of patience with Johnson . "There was no other way," he said. "We tried just abo ut everything humanly possible. We tried benching him and it (hi s performance) went further south . You could tell it wasn ' t going to get any better. " After Johnson recorded career highs in catches (84), yards (I ,097) and touch- mate ." After being benched las t week.

That bothered Policy. who pointed out motivate Johnson , but it seemed to have that Johnson used "I, me and my" 30 times the opposite affect.

Minnesota and Michigan State are a gmne back. In the conference's 107 yew-s, only four times have temns with two losses tied for the rootball title.

The contract provides for a one percent raise on .the base salary this year and contains a reopening clause for next year on salaries and fringe benefits. Treasurer Mark Rhonemus sa id that "everybody was reasonable in assessing the financial situation of the district with its declining enrollment. and in giving consideration to the fact that the reduction in force was not as extensive as had originaUy been planned." · He said that the teachers association and the administration worked together to .. come up with the new ·Contract aareement. "From now on we H be Iooking year to year in terms of what we can do," said the treasurer. The salary scale for a teacher with a bachelor's degree and no experience increased from $22,650 to $22.877. At the high end. the salary of teachers with a master 's degree· plus 15 hours and 25 years experience. went from $44.497 to $44.943. · Financial report Rhonemus' financial. repon showed several.
