But that doesn’t mean they don’t want us to accomplish anything,” McConnell said. In the House, the divisions that mattered were within the GOP itself. Republicans began the day after Boehner’s election in a closed-door meeting where a series of lawmakers stood up to demand punishment for the speaker’s opponents. Others counseled caution, urging Boehner not to crack down and instead move forward and focus on policy issues. “I’d rather be magnanimous in victory,” said GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina. For lawmakers less willing to move on, their frustration over the 25 dissenters — a historically high total for a speaker’s race — was about more than the failed attempt to take down Boehner. Disorganized and haphazard, the rebels never coalesced around an alternate candidate, instead spreading their votes among nine people, some of whom got just one or two votes. Yet the group included some of the same lawmakers who forced the government into a 16-day partial shutdown in the fall of 2013 in a failed effort to end Obama’s health care law, and who have repeatedly complicated leaders’ efforts to pass legislation on immigration, farm policy and other topics. Egged on by outside conservative groups, they’ve forced House leaders into embarrassing retreats on legislation and humiliations on the House floor. Many mainstream Republicans are fed up and would like to see the dissenters held accountable as the new Congress gets underway, especially since Boehner now may have less need for their votes. Republicans now command a bigger majority — they have 246 members in the House, the most in more than 60 years — along with control of the Senate. Some contend that even though Boehner punished four people who voted against him two years ago by yanking their committee assignments, he’s been too mild with his opponents and would do well to crack down and keep them in line.

Only the most recalcitrant Democrats deny that the losses their party suffered at the polls was a mandate for GOP policies. Indeed, in a speech in October, President Obama told an audience at Northwestern University in Chicago: “I’m not on the ballot this fall. But make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.” For much of the past two months, Mr. Obama has operated as if the midterm election did not happen, shaking his fist at Republicans by taking executive actions that usurp the powers the Constitution reserves for Congress. That includes his unilateral decision to shield some 5 million illegal immigrants from possibility of deportation. It also includes the bilateral climate change agreement the president struck with China with neither the advice nor consent of Congress. Then, there was Mr. Obama’s announcement of normalized relations with Marxist-Leninist Cuba. Mr. Obama’s post-election activity has been driven more by partisan politics than high-minded principle. His obvious aim has been to steal the march from the new Republican majority taking power on Capitol Hill and, in so doing, improve his woeful standing in the eyes of the American people. The White House seems to think the strategy is working. Indeed, NBC News reports this week that the president’s handlers believe he “has gotten some of his political mojo back.” They apparently base that statement on the latest Gallup poll showing that, for the first time since 2013, Mr. Obama’s disapproval rating has surpassed his approval rating (47 percent to 48 percent). That has emboldened the president to continue his post-election strategy to put Republicans on the defensive by taking executive actions he knows they oppose, while, at the same time, dissembling that he hopes to work with the new GOP majority. Mr. Obama actually will take the strategy on the road this week when he makes presidential visits to Phoenix on Thursday and Tennessee on Friday. He will unveil “a mix of executive actions and legislative proposals,” according to White House spokesman Eric Schultz. Mr. Schultz assured that the president “looks forward to working with the next Congress.” But, at the same time, he threatened that Mr. Obama “will not let this Congress undo important protections.” Such rhetoric from the White House confirms that President Obama has decided to completely ignore the results of the midterm election that turned his fellow Democrats out of power on Capitol Hill. It also portends, distressingly, two more years of extreme partisan rancor in Washington. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register.

As for policing, the worry in 1965 wasn’t ambiguous encounters or tragic accidents. It was beatings, or worse. It was whips and forced-marched by cattle prod. It was the violence of police who were the oppressive instruments of a lawless authority. The protesters who faced off against the police in Selma didn’t shout abuse, although they would have been amply justified; they didn’t burn down local businesses; they didn’t randomly fire guns, or throw rocks or stones. The difference between demonstrators in Selma and Ferguson is the difference between dignity under enormous pressure in a righteous cause and heedless self-indulgence in the service of a smear (that Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown as he surrendered). The temptation for the left to live perpetually in 1965 is irresistible. It wants to borrow the haze of glory around the civil-rights movement of that era and apply it to contemporary causes. It wants to believe that America is nearly as unjust as it was then, and wants to attribute to itself as much of the bravery and righteousness of the civil-rights pioneers as possible. All of this is understandable. It just has no bearing on reality. The movie “Selma,” by portraying a real struggle against a racist power structure, should remove all doubt of that.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 8, 1815, the last major engagement of the War of 1812 came to an end as U.S. forces led by Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans. (Given the slowness of communications at the time, the battle took place even though the United States and Britain had already signed a peace treaty.) On this date: In 1642, astronomer Galileo Galilei died in Arcetri, Italy. In 1790, President George Washington delivered his first State of the Union address to Congress in New York. In 1863, America’s First Transcontinental Railroad had its beginnings as California Gov. Leland Stanford broke ground for the Central Pacific Railroad in Sacramento. (The transcontinental railroad was completed in Promontory, Utah, in May 1869.) In 1912, the African National Congress was founded in Bloemfontein, South Africa. In 1935, rock-and-roll legend Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Miss. In 1959, Charles de Gaulle was inaugurated as president of France’s Fifth Republic. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, in his State of the Union address, declared an “unconditional war on poverty in America.” In 1965, the Star of India and other gems stolen from the American Museum of Natural History in New York the previous October were recovered from a bus depot locker in Miami.

Two officials named the suspects as Frenchmen Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, who are brothers and in their early 30s, as well as 18-yearold Hamyd Mourad, whose nationality wasn’t immediately clear. One of the officials said they were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network. A witness of Wednesday’s shootings at the offices of weekly satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo said one of the attackers told onlookers, “You can tell the media that it’s al-Qaida in Yemen.” The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive and ongoing investigation. No arrests have been confirmed in the hunt for the attackers. Masked gunmen stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo, which caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, methodically killing 12 people, including the editor, before escaping in a car. It was France’s deadliest terrorist attack in half a century. Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq’s insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison. During Cherif Kouachi’s 2008 trial, he told the court, “I really believed in the idea” of fighting the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. He said he was motivated by his outrage at television images of torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib. Shouting “Allahu akbar!” as they fired, the men also spoke fluent, unaccented French in the military-style noon-time attack on Charlie Hebdo, located near Paris’ Bastille monument. The publication’s depictions of Islam have drawn condemnation and threats before — it was firebombed in 2011 — although it also satirized other religions and political figures. President Francois Hollande said it was a terrorist act “of exceptional barbarism,” adding that other attacks have been thwarted in France in recent weeks.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee has never had a problem getting his voice heard, except for one time. Lee, who played quarterback and cornerback at New Albany High School, wanted a scholarship offer to play at Ohio State. He really wanted one. He kept coming back to the Buckeyes’ camp for high school players, at least three times in all, before he finally got an offer from Urban Meyer. One time he couldn’t even get Meyer to look at him, much less talk to him, on a day when Ohio State hosted high school juniors. “I was walking right beside him for like a good minute and he didn’t even look at me,” Lee said earlier this week. “I was the guy in the corner.” Meyer admits there was a long time he was not interested in Lee, a redshirt freshman, who has been one of the big playmakers on Ohio State’s defense this season – 7.5 sacks, two recovered fumbles and two touchdowns. But Lee did have someone in his corner. Co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell kept telling Meyer that Lee, with the speed he had, could play somewhere for Ohio State. Maybe he wasn’t sure what position, but he thought he was a bet worth making in the recruiting casino. “I credit Coach Fickell with that one,” Meyer said. “He (Lee) came to camp, like five or six times. I rejected him, probably four times. Shows you how good an evaluator I am. Coach Fickell made the right decision.” Lee’s relentless pursuit of an Ohio State scholarship would come as no surprise to his teammates. “Darron Lee always has something to say, no matter what it is, and he lets it be known,” OSU linebacker Joshua Perry said, with a laugh. See LEE | 10 Coach Meyer’s campaign for parents pays off By Jim Naveau jnaveau@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — Like a lot of people 50 and over, Urban Meyer struggled just a bit to read the story on the screen without glasses when a laptop computer was handed to him during his Tuesday press conference previewing next Monday’s national championship game. But once he determined what the story said, he was happy. Very happy. Meyer has been campaigning since around mid-season that someone – either the NCAA, the College Football Playoff committee or university athletic departments – should be allowed to pay for a significant portion of the travel expenses for parents to see their sons play for a national championship. He had repeated that sentiment several times since then, including during his postgame press conference after OSU’s 42-35 win over Alabama in a College Football Playoff semifinal at the Sugar Bowl. Moving with surprising speed, the NCAA announced on Tuesday that it would allow the College Football Playoff committee to give parents $1,250 each, for a total of $2,500 for travel expenses. This is in addition to $800 the competing schools, Ohio State and Oregon, already were allowed to give parents. “That’s great. That’s great news. That’s outstanding news,” Meyer said. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said the plan started to come together Monday. “Actually, it started yesterday morning with a call from the NCAA to me.

White Falcons hold off Belpre, 85-80 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — No shortage of offense here. Wahama and Belpre boys basketball teams combined for 165 points on 47.9 percent shooting from the field, and when the dust was settled the White Falcons claimed an 85-80 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division victory. The White Falcons (5-2, 2-1 TVC Hocking) went on a 9-2 run over the first two minutes of play, but Belpre (2-6, 1-4) answered with an 11-9 spurt over the next four minutes. Wahama drained a three-pointer to extend the lead to 21-13, but BHS scored six unanswered points to end the opening stanza. Wahama, which connected on six trifectas in the second period, made three triples in the first two minutes of the canto and extended the lead to 32-15. The Golden Eagles shot 10-of-11 from the free throw line over the remainder of the second and cut the deficit to single digits at halftime, 51-42. After the break Belpre scored seven of the first 11 points and cut the WHS lead to 55-49, but the White Falcons answered with a 12-6 run to end the third with a 67-55 advantage. The White Falcons seemed to be in control ahead 80-67 with 2:30 left in regulation, but a 10-0 run put the Golden Eagles within striking distance down by three with 47 seconds remaining. Wahama hit 5-of-6 free throw attempts over the final 30 seconds and, despite a BHS three-pointer, claimed their fourth straight victory. Hunter Rose led the White Falcons with 31 points, followed by Kaileb Sheets with 24 and Philip Hoffman with 20. Sheets scored 20 of his 24 in the first half, and the trio accounted for 88.2 percent of Wahama’s scoring offense. Ryan Thomas posted six points, Mason Hicks added three, while Kristopher Clark rounded out the WHS total with one marker. As a team the Red and White were 18-of-22 (81.8 percent) from the free throw line and 29-of52 (55.8 percent) from the field, including 9-of16 (56.3 percent) from three-point range. The White Falcons marked 35 rebounds, 15 assists, two steals, one block and 11 turnovers in the win. Sheets paced WHS in rebounds with eight and assists with six, followed by Hicks with six boards and four helpers. Sheets also led the defensive effort for Wahama with a steal and a block.

(AP) — Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is going to the NFL. The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner announced his decision to forgo his final two years of eligibility and enter the 2015 draft in a statement released to ESPN by The Legacy Agency Wednesday. Winston was the most successful quarterback in college football the last two seasons, but also faced lengthy sexual assault investigations. He was not charged by police and was cleared by the university. His accuser sued the school’s board of trustees on Wednesday, claiming it had an unreasonable response to her accusations. The Seminoles went 26-1 with Winston starting and won the 2014 national championship.

Trent Mays was released Tuesday after serving a two-year sentence. He will be put on probationary status and will have a sex offender classification hearing, defense attorney Adam Neeman told WTOV-TV (http://bit.ly/1xEioAn ) in Steubenville. “He is an extremely promising young man, eager to prove himself on behalf of his family and his community,” Nemann said in a statement. Mays is enrolled in high school near Steubenville and hopes to resume classes soon, Nemann said. Mays, 18, and one of his Steubenville High School teammates, Ma’Lik Richmond, were each found delinquent in the 2012 rape of the 16-year-old girl. Mays was also found delinquent of using his phone to take a photo of the nude victim. Richmond, 18, received a one-year sentence and rejoined the football team last fall, and in November a judge agreed to less restrictive sex offender reporting requirements. Richmond had been ordered to register his address every six months for the next 20 years. The judge agreed to reclassify him so that he has to register only once a year for the next decade. A statement from the girl’s family and their attorney says they hope Mays and Richmond maintain a higher standard of morals and values as their rehabilitation continues. “We hope that they realize the magnitude of lifelong pain that they have caused the victim and pray that the memory of their crimes lives in their souls as a constant reminder to treat women with dignity and respect,” the statement said. Mays takes that statement to heart, Nemann said. “The main focus here is rehabilitation, so that they understand what they did was wrong,” he said Wednesday. The case drew international attention because of the role of social media publicizing the assault, and initial allegations of a cover-up by local authorities and frustration that more football players weren’t charged, including some who witnessed the assaults. A grand jury investigating whether other laws were broken in the case brought charges against six adults, including Steubenville superintendent Michael McVey. McVey has pleaded not guilty to charges including felony counts of tampering with evidence and obstructing justice. His trial is scheduled to begin Monday. William Rhinaman, the Steubenville schools’ former technology director, has also pleaded not guilty to charges including tampering with evidence and obstructing justice. Charges against the other four adults have been resolved. EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon is treating this week like any other this season. And while that’s more comfortable in a way, it also feels a little odd. After all, the Ducks are preparing to face Ohio State in the national championship game Monday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The two teams are the first to experience a season stretched out for one more game by college football’s new playoff system. Both teams have already had their bowl games and all the hoopla that goes with that, so this is more of a business trip, said Oregon senior safety Erick Dargan. A really important business trip. “It’s just like a regular week. I think that actually plays more to our advantage than having a lot of time,” Dargan said. “We’re back in our groove.” The Ducks (13-1) routed Call us at: 740.992.2155 Adding the national championship as a 15th game presents some unique challenges for coaches and their players — like guarding against fatigue or injury. “I was talking to someone earlier and they said it’s been like 25 weeks. I guess it is just part of the grind. Part of our job is taking care of your body and making sure you’re ready to go when you’re number is called,” said Ohio State senior receiver Evan Spencer. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer led a former team, Florida, to national championships in 2006 and 2008. There wasn’t a lot of comparison he could offer. “Practices are a little different. Those ones, we had 37 days to prepare. I remember in ‘06 it was 37 or 47, some ridiculous number; ‘06 was the first one removed from the traditional bowl date,” he said.

Florida State 59-20 in the Rose Bowl, while the Buckeyes (13-1) beat Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day, paving the way for the championship 11 days later. Upon arrival for the game in Pasadena, third-seeded Oregon was involved in all the customary Rose Bowl activities, including the obligatory visit to Disneyland for the photo op with Mickey Mouse. They had essentially already done their work: There had been 26 days between the team’s regular-season finale and the Granddaddy of Them All. That gave the Ducks plenty of time to scheme for the Seminoles and quarterback Jameis Winston. The fourth-seeded Buckeyes were similarly prepared upon arrival in New Orleans, giving them time for events like a dinner that featured entertainment from a couple of alligators and a python. 64 (NBCSN) 65 (FS1) 67 (HIST) 68 (BRAVO) 72 (BET) 73 (HGTV) 74 (SYFY) PREMIUM Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother UFC Unleashed Bearcats Redsfest NCAA Basketball Stanford vs. UCLA (L) NCAA Basketball Memphis vs SMU (L) Project Runway: All Stars Project Runway: All Stars Project Runway: All Stars Project Runway: All Stars Little Women: LA "Baby on "Designing for the Duchess" "Luck Be a Lady" "Mix and Match.com" "Making a Splash" (N) Board" Boy Meets Dark Shadows ('12, Fant) Johnny Depp. A vampire comes to the aid ParaNorman In order to save his hometown, a young World of a dysfunctional family living in his ancestral home.

Baseball transformed during the second half of their careers and has been revolutionized in the five years since their final pitches. Out: big boppers. In: strict pitch limits, a profusion of relief pitchers and sudden swell in defensive shifts. “Old goats” is what Martinez called the newest Hall of Famers, products of another age — remember back before high definition TVs and mobile Internet browsers were commonplace? So much has changed so quickly. “The game has kind of gone to a Stratomatic-type baseball game, where hitting is difficult because you’re facing nine and 10 pitchers combined per team,” Smoltz said Wednesday. “Guys are not going attain 3,000 innings. They’re not going to get 3,000 strikeouts.” “Vive le difference!” seemed to be the motto of their joint news conference. Smoltz, pretty much average for a pitcher at 6-foot-3, stood on a chair to drop a cap onto the head of Johnson, the tallest of 215 Hall of Fame players at 6-foot-10. All the while, the Big Unit struggled to button his cream-colored jersey with “Hall of Fame” in red script, unable to line up the buttons with the correct buttonholes. “Those left-handers,” Johnson quipped. At 5-foot-11 the shortest pitcher picked for Cooperstown since Whitey Ford in 1974, Martinez held both hands up with fingers raised and smiled broadly. The trio of pitchers, elected to the Hall on Tuesday along with Craig Biggio, are among the all-time greats statistically, Bebeto Matthews | AP From left, National Baseball Hall of Fame inductees John Smoltz, Randy Johnson, Craig Biggio and Pedro Martinez pose during a press conference, Wednesday in New York. given the era they pitched in. Martinez’s 2.93 career ERA is 1.47 below the big league average during the years he pitched, easily the best margin in major league history among pitchers with 1,500 or more innings, according to STATS. The next best are Carl Hubbell and Lefty Grove at 1.15, Hoyt Wilhelm at 1.14, Greg Maddux at 1.13 and Roger Clemens at 1.12. Johnson’s 1.01 is 13th and Smoltz’s 0.97 is 15th. Speaking at a Manhattan hotel, Johnson said the game is just starting to get back into whack. He thinks pitching became more onerous in the 1990s and early 2000s because smaller ballparks replaced multiuse stadiums and Major League Baseball introduced QuesTec, a computer system put in place in 2001 to evaluate ball-strike calls. Umpires responded by shrinking strike zones back toward the rule-book definition. “When I watch old footage of pitchers throwing strikes from the letters to the knees, it’s black-and-white footage, back when dinosaurs roamed. That’s not the strike zone that I pitched in,” he said. “Things still are slighted towards offense. Offense is what creates fan base. But there’s still well-pitched games out there, and things are starting to balance out now, yes, absolutely.” Drug testing has played a part, too. Since urine samples started to be collected in 2003, offense has shrunk along with muscle mass. And the rise in computing capability has led to defensive shifts that take away hits, too. At the tail end of the Steroids Era in 2000, scoring rose to 5.14 runs per team per game and ERA to 4.76, the highest for both since 1930. By last year, runs dropped 2015 MEIGS COUNTY VISITORS GUIDE to 4.07 and ERA to 3.74, the lowest since the early 1970s. Every team seems to have hard-throwing relievers heading in from the bullpens in earlier and earlier innings. “We never had a pitch limit,” Smoltz said. “Your manager’s eyes and pitching coach knew when your pitch limit reached the mechanical failures or the fact that you weren’t getting it done.” Johnson won 303 games and struck out 4,875, secondmost in major league history. Martinez was 219-100 and struck out 3,154. Smoltz went 213-155 with 154 saves and 3,084 strikeouts, the only pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves. Martinez believes there’s “more of a level ground for every team” these days because of changes such as revenue sharing and the luxury tax, which has created additional “home-cooked Lee From Page 6 Lee’s emergence this season was much needed, with linebacker Ryan Shazier passing up his senior season to go into the NFL Draft. He redshirted as a freshman last year, so not many people knew what to expect. What they got was one of the best first seasons by an OSU linebacker in years. His 7.5 sacks this season are the most by an Ohio State linebacker since 2005, when A.J. Hawk had 8.5. Ohio State’s defense is more aggressive overall than it was a year ago and a lot of the credit for that goes to Lee. “I’m energetic. An energy giver. If I can make a play or give the guys energy, that would be huge,” he said. “When I’m on the field with my guys, it’s the greatest feeling and Campaign From Page 6 Contact your ad representative today! 740-992-2155 740-446-2342 304-675-1333 Deadline for ad space is January 23rd, 2015 60558113 national office. They heard our plea through the media. They heard our plea and they found a way to allow the College Football Playoff to do what they did today. It’s less than 48 hours. It’s awesome,” Smith said. “They (NCAA officials) get it and they were able to find a way. So I’m so thankful they heard us and found a way. They get it. It’s a good thing,” he said. Smith said the NCAA views this as a “pilot program” and there will be a vote to incorporate it into the rule book probably later this year.

I’m not going to try it. But I’ll tell you what, I enjoyed the way I did it. I enjoyed my era. I enjoyed the way I competed. And that’s the way I wanted it.” Smoltz predicts additional evolution, perhaps a return to the era when starters went deeper into games. He thinks babying arms has led to more catastrophic injuries. He had a ligament replaced in 2000, then spent most of four seasons in the bullpen before returning to Atlanta’s rotation. ‘’Something’s got to change,” he said. “And I don’t think condensing it and lowering the pitch limit is the reason that we’re going to save arms.” it just gives me a little bit of extra energy.” One thing he is not, though, is satisfied or complacent. “I’ve got a lot of work to do, so I’m not going to sit here and say I’ve arrived in any way, shape or form because I haven’t.,” Lee said. Lee and running back Ezekiel Elliott were named the defensive and offensive players of the game when OSU beat Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl last week. A golf cart took them from the postgame interview room back to Ohio State’s locker room. On the ride to the locker room, Elliott remembered when they came in together in the 2013 recruiting class. “He’s like, ‘Honestly, I didn’t even know what position you were going to play. I didn’t know if you were going to be a linebacker.’ I was just like, ‘A lot of people didn’t, man. It’s whatever. I don’t really care. It’s cool,” Lee said.

While Jones’ roommate Tyvis Powell was taping a television interview, Jones did several cartwheels behind him on the turf at OSU’s Woody Hayes Center indoor practice facility. TWO PROBABLES: Tight end Jeff Heuerman, who was limited by an ankle injury in the Sugar Bowl, and H-back Dontre Wilson who has been out since early November with a broken foot, are both “probable” for the national championship game, Meyer said. Wilson suffered his injury in OSU’s 49-37 win over Michigan State on Nov. 8. MEYER A MARIOTA FAN: Meyer says he has been impressed with Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota for a long time. “He should have been Heisman Trophy winner; I’m glad he got it. For a lot of reasons, I’m glad he got it. I just love who he is,” Meyer said. “I think that’s so good for college football to see a guy like that go out and win it. “He’s a great, great player. Great, great person, great leader, you can tell. Plays his best when it’s hard,” he said. MVP, MVP: Meyer said he considers senior wide receiver Evan Spencer the Most Valuable Player of this year’s team. Statistically, as a pass catcher, Spencer isn’t even on the outskirts of MVP territory. He is ninth on the team with 15 catches. But doing things like taking out two Alabama defenders on Ezekiel Elliott’s 85-yard touchdown run and recovering the onside kick that followed the Crimson Tide’s last touchdown are the sort of things Meyer was thinking about. “He took two guys out and that’s there’s not one person in this facility that’s shocked that he did that,” Meyer said.
