As second-place winner she also received a prize provided by the bank. This is the candy recipe used by the winner: 2 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips, a 7-ounce jar of marshmallow fluff, mixed together and set aside.

PVH Home Health and Hospice employees along with friends of the community were in attendance for the lunch and celebration. Mistie Best, RN, MSN, MHA, director of Home Care Services said, “Hospice is so often thought of as being about death. The reality is that hospice focuses on life … the quality of a patient’s life, regardless of how long that might be. Through effective management of a patient’s illness, he or she can live their remaining time to the fullest. “Hospice isn’t just about the illness, though. Hospice is a very holistic and family centered approach to providing treatment to patients and families. All aspects are addressed – mind, body, and spirit. The hospice tea is held each year so that those who have been affected by a terminal illness can gather to share their experiences with others. Anyone in the community is welcome to attend, especially those who have lost a loved one or have had a loved one on hospice services.” “Hospice is one of the most monumentally significant but grievously underutilized health services being offered to the community,” said Martha Roush, Hospice case manager. “Hospice is a wonderful service that helps patients and families to arrive at a level of peace, comfort, and reassurance they would not otherwise achieve. Unfortunately, not enough people are aware of the benefits hospice truly has to offer. This yearly gathering affords us the opportunity to celebrate hospice and promote its rewards and benefits to the communities we serve.” Pictures of past hospice patients were placed on a special Christmas tree for employees and family members to honor. Pleasant Valley Home Health Services provides care to patients of all ages who no longer require hospitalization, but continue to require periodic attention in their home. Home Health Services provide the patient with skilled nursing care, personal care services, physical therapy, social services, IV therapy services, speech therapy, occupational therapy and 24-hour on-call nursing. They serve Mason and Jackson counties in West Virginia, and Gallia, Meigs and Athens counties in Ohio.

Christmas Kente Gas workers in to get back wages is Saturday at Marshall HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Consistent with 17th-century West African traditions, Marshall University will have a 2014 Christmas Kente Ceremony for African and African American students in celebration of their upcoming graduation. Christmas Kente will take place at 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, in Marshall’s Smith Recital Hall on the Huntington campus. The university will stage its annual winter commencement at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in downtown Huntington. “This multi-centuryold rite of passage to receive their very own hand-woven kente cloth will define and capture one of the most significant moments of their lives,” said Maurice Cooley, associate vice president for intercultural affairs. This is the third year Marshall has conducted a Christmas Kente, Cooley said. It is different than, but similar to the Donning of the Kente in the spring. “It’s still a grand ceremony; it’s very special,” Cooley said. “The one in the spring includes a grand processional in cap and gown for all of the graduating students, but also participating are the deans, the faculty and the president. It’s much more of a formal affair in the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse.” Christmas Kente doesn’t have those same grand formalities, but it is much more personalized because the families of each graduate are involved, Cooley said. “In the spring, even though there are more graduates, few of the parents and relatives and kinship people are there,” Cooley said, “because it takes place one week before graduation. Christmas Kente takes place a day before graduation, so, we have a significantly larger number of people who come to Kente in the winter. The families are included in presenting of the kentes, which makes it much cozier. “The ceremony is much more casual, but the experience with the students is elevated because they are embraced by their families who become a part of presenting them with this cloth, which is a symbol of their accomplishments,” Cooley continued. Cooley estimated 22 to 25 graduates will attend the Christmas Kente. A reception will be held after the event. CHARLESTON (AP) — Natural gas drilling contractors working in the Marcellus Shale have agreed to pay nearly $4.5 million in back pay to 5,310 workers in Pennsylvania and West Virginia after an investigation that found violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, federal officials said. A majority of the violations involved improper payment of overtime. Some salaried employees did not receive an overtime premium because they were misclassified as exempt from the law’s overtime provisions, the U.S. Department of Labor said Tuesday in a news release. In other cases, production bonuses were not factored in to determine employees’ overtime pay rate, as required by the law. Labor officials said the industry’s structure is partly responsible for the violations. “The oil and gas industry is one of the most fissured industries. Job sites that used to be run by a single company can now have dozens of smaller contractors performing work, which can create downward economic pressure on lower level subcontractors,” David Weil, administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, said in the release. “Given the fissured landscape, this is an industry ripe for noncompliance.” The mineral rights are owned by large companies that identify extraction sites and develop wells. Subcontractors are then brought in to do a majority of the work at the site. These companies include drilling and geological services, land leasing and acquisition service, and oilfield support services companies. Welding, pipeline maintenance and other specialized and ancillary support services often are provided by secondary subcontractors. “The more fractured an industry is, the more likely there will be significant labor law violations,” Mark Watson, the Wage and Hour Division’s Northeast regional administrator, said in the release. “Companies further down the contracting chain feel pressured to provide services at a competitive and often cut-rate price point. They are also more likely to cut corners and offer a low bid to secure a business opportunity.” Ohio lawmakers narrow lethal injection bill By Andrew Welsh-Huggins extended time to wake up from surgery.

Associated Press The anonymity is aimed at socalled compounding pharmacies that mix doses of specialty drugs. The committee also added four recommendations from a state Supreme Court committee that studied the death penalty, including making it easier to research death row inmate claims that they received poor legal aid. Ohio hasn’t executed an inmate since January, when Dennis McGuire gasped and snorted for 26 minutes before dying, during a procedure using a never-tried combination of a sedative and painkiller. It was Ohio’s longest execution. Further questions about those drugs, midazolam and hydromorphone, arose after Arizona used them during a nearly two-hour execution of an inmate in July. Ohio’s first choice for an execution drug is compounded pentobarbital, a version of pentobarbital not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Missouri and Texas, which shield the identity of their drug source, have used compounded pentobarbital successfully several times. But Ohio has been unable to obtain it.

Such it is with an assortment of business and individual tax breaks that expired at the end of 2013. Because the renewal of these provisions has been taken as a given all year, millions of Americans have planned on utilizing them when they begin filling out their tax returns next month. There’s only one problem: with only a few weeks left in the year, Congress has yet to finalize a deal. With earlier efforts to extend many of the provisions for several years having fallen apart, it now looks as if they will only be applied retroactively to 2014. Any efforts to extend them into the future will have to await the next Congress. This isn’t an especially bad outcome. Many of the provisions strike us as outright cronyism — whether subsidizing alternative energy or giving privileged treatment to industries like Hollywood and NASCAR. Even some of the more well-intentioned measures bring with them baleful consequences, such as tax credits for college tuition that have the practical effect of inflating the cost of higher education. The federal government has an obligation to set predictable tax policy. It would make a mockery of the rule of law to force citizens to make financial decisions without having any idea how they will affect their bill from the Treasury. For that reason, renewing these provisions for 2014 is the only responsible course of action. That doesn’t change the fact, however, that tax breaks of this kind are deeply distortive and tend to disproportionately benefit the privileged and well-connected. That’s why their future renewal should be taken up on a piece-by-piece basis, with Congress disposing of the more outrageous giveaways. We continue to believe that the fairest, most economically efficient approach to taxation is to apply low (and, ideally, flat) rates to as much of the citizenry as possible, removing the bramble of deductions and credits that make filing a return an exercise in frustration. Such a system would promote economic growth and strip much of the power from the lobbyists who too often bend the tax code to suit the needs of their employers. Congress should pass, and President Obama should sign, the extension of these provisions for 2014 — but this should be the last gasp for a corrupt, inefficient system. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register. The Daily Sentinel Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor Their view Rolling Stone vs. UVA Journalistic malpractice? A Rolling Stone story about a gang rape at the University of Virginia has, in the eyes of many in the media, gone from bombshell reporting to journalistic malpractice in the bat of an eye. The piece achieves its power with a difficult-toread opening about the protagonist of the story, Jackie, arriving with a date at a fraternity party where a trap has been set by frat brothers to take turns brutally raping her for hours. The details of this crime are practically unspeakable. The shock of it led many people to recoil in horror and ask, “How could this have happened at such a respectable school?” Upon further reflection, people began to ask, “Could this really have happened?” First, there’s the scale of the crime. No one doubts the existence of sociopaths on campus, but nine of them conspiring together at one fraternity in an act so depraved it could be something out of a West African civil war? Then there are the details.

The new standard really encourage her to do for sexual consent — so, and even as she was spelled out in elaborate talking to the magazine campus rules governing for a report that would every step of a sexual make national waves, she encounter — “encourstill hadn’t reported her ages people to think of themselves as sexual assault victims when there was no assault.” Meanwhile, campus trials lack the rigor (and procedural protections for defendants) of the criminal-justice system, and result in relatively minor punishments like counseling and suspensions. Schools should be encouraging victims to go to the police, as befits any other crime. No one would ever think to handle an armed robbery with a campus hearing and a disciplinary slap on the wrist. The other campus imperative should be better controlling the alcohol-fueled party scene that has become an entitlement of young adulthood in America. Much of what feminists call rape culture is what Heather MacDonald, in a characteristically brilliant essay for The Weekly Standard, deems “a squalid hook-up scene, the result of jettisoning all normative checks on promiscuous behavior.” At UVA, the priority should be getting to the truth of Jackie’s story, and either holding accountable the guilty parties or debunking a calumny.

Today in History … Today is Thursday, Dec. 11, the 345th day of 2014. There are 20 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 11, 1936, Britain’s King Edward VIII abdicated the throne so he could marry American divorcee Wallis Warfield Simpson; his brother, Prince Albert, became King George VI. On this date: In 1792, France’s King Louis XVI went before the Convention to face charges of treason. (Louis was convicted, and executed the following month.) In 1816, Indiana became the 19th state. In 1928, police in Buenos Aires announced they had thwarted an attempt on the life of President-elect Herbert Hoover. In 1937, Italy announced it was withdrawing from the League of Nations. In 1941, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States; the U.S. responded in kind. In 1946, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was established. In 1964, Che Guevara addressed the United Nations; in his speech, the Argentine revolutionary declared that “the final hour of colonialism has struck.” Singer-songwriter Sam Cooke was shot to death by a motel manager in Los Angeles; he was 33. In 1972, Apollo 17’s lunar module landed on the moon with astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt aboard; during three extravehicular activities (EVAs), they became the last two men to date to step onto the lunar surface. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation creating a $1.6 billion environmental “superfund” to pay for cleaning up chemical spills and toxic waste dumps. “Magnum P.I.,” starring Tom Selleck, premiered on CBS. In 1994, leaders of 34 Western Hemisphere nations signed a freetrade declaration in Miami. �news/weather Daily Sentinel Thursday, December 11, 2014 5 West Virginia shooter was banned from having a firearm By Dan Majors Lt.

Huffman said the ATF investigation showed that Hunt and the seller did not know each other and the seller had no way of knowing Hunt could not have a firearm. Such is the difficulty authorities face in trying to keep weapons out of the hands of individuals who are not supposed to have them. According to Stephen G. Fischer Jr., an FBI spokesman who works with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, background checks are only required when a licensed gun dealer sells a firearm. “It’s the provisions of the Brady Law that don’t require a firearms background check to enter into agreement with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, who will provide security for all From page 1 school buildings.

Ladd Everitt, director of communications at Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, a Washington D.C. nonprofit gun control advocacy group in Washington, D.C., told the Associated Press that Hunt’s firearm purchase indicates a broader problem with the background check system. “When convicted felons like Jody Lee Hunt are unable to pass background checks, weak gun laws give them an easy pass to acquire weapons with no accountability,” he said. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., expressed similar thoughts. “I believe in common-sense criminal background checks for online gun purchases, which could help prevent tragedies similar to what took place in Morgantown last week,” he said. “I will continue to work with law-abiding gun owners to no items, tattoos promoting alcoholic beverages, tobacco, drug, gang or cult signs (this includes sexual messages) shirts must have sleeves or be tight-fitted to the underarm, no exposure of cleavage or the midriff, no muscle shirts halters, or spaghetti straps, no shorts, skorts, etc. may be worn above the prevent senseless acts of violence like this from occurring, while also protecting Second Amendment rights.” But John R. Lott Jr., author of “More Guns, Less Crime,” said Hunt’s gun purchase doesn’t mean gun regulations should change. He said studies consistently show that background checks don’t reduce violent crime, but they can produce “false positive” results that block law-abiding citizens from purchasing a gun. NICS data provided to the AP shows that about 1.25 percent of those whose names are submitted to NICS for background checks are initially denied the right to purchase a firearm. About half of those denials are later overturned after appeal. The additional time it takes to identify law-abiding gun purchasers “can disarm law-abiding citizens and make them more vulnerable to violent crime,” Lott said. knee, no pajamas, yoga or sweatpants (except for gym class), leggings should be covered by a dress, skirt or skort, lower garments must be worn at waist level with no undergarments exposed and any clothing inappropriately tattered, torn or shredded is not to be worn.

The South Gallia boys basketball team led wire to wire Tuesday night en route to a 69-32 victory over visiting Belpre in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The Rebels (2-0, 1-0 TVC Hocking) continued beating opponents one quarter at a time, as the hosts stormed out to a 14-4 advantage after eight minutes and never looked back. The Golden Eagles (0-2, 0-1) put up more of fight in the second canto, but were still outscored 20-15 — allowing SGHS to secure a 34-19 lead at the break. The Rebels — who have yet to be outscored in any of their eight quarters of play — dominated the second half with an impressive 35-13 charge. The hosts went on an 18-7 run in the third for a 52-26 lead, then closed regulation with a 17-6 surge to wrap up the 37-point triumph. South Gallia had two different players net nine field goals apiece in the contest, the same number of total field goals that BHS collectively produced. The Rebels, as a group, successfully made 25 field goals — with both teams netting four trifectas apiece. Brayden Greer led the hosts with a gamehigh 30 points, followed by Landon Hutchinson with 20 points. Cory Rhodes and Joseph Ehman were next with five markers apiece, while Dustin Hornsby chipped in four points. Devin Lucas added three points to the winning cause, while Kane Hutchinson rounded out the scoring with two markers. The Red and Gold were also 12-of-17 at the free throw line for 71 percent. Logan Plummer led Belpre with 11 points, followed by Deijon Bedgood with 10 points and Scott Carpenter with six markers. The guests were 10-of-15 at the charity stripe for 67 percent.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Persistence paid off in the long run. The Point Pleasant boys basketball team rallied from a 12-point second quarter deficit by going on a 68-47 run over the final 23 minutes of regulation Tuesday night en route to an 82-73 victory in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. The host Big Blacks (1-0) were a little slow out of the gates as the Blue Devils (0-2) hit 10 of their first 19 shot attempts on their way to establishing a 26-14 cushion with 7:01 remaining in the first half. PPHS, however, made 9-of-16 shots in the second canto and closed the half with a furious 28-14 charge — capped by an Aden Yates trifecta just before the buzzer that gave Point a slim 42-40 edge at the break. Both teams battled through four ties and six lead changes in the third canto, but the Red, Black and White broke away from a 51-all tie on a Brian Gibbs three-pointer with four minutes left and never looked back.

Tornadoes trump Federal Hocking Final score 59-50 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — The Southern boys basketball began the season in style Tuesday night, as the Tornadoes never trailed in the second half of their 59-50 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Federal Hocking. The Tornadoes (1-0, 1-0 TVC Hocking) jumped out to a 10-4 lead in the early in the opening quarter but Federal Hocking (0-2, 0-1) closed the first on a 7-3 run to cut the deficit to 13-11. The Tornadoes expanded their lead to 29-23 at halftime after SHS senior Tristen Wolfe scored 11 of his team’s 16 second quarter points. The Lancers managed just two field goals in the third, but they made 7-of8 free throws to keep the deficit at six, 41-35, with one quarter to play. Federal Hocking rallied to within two points in the fourth quarter, but SHS made 10-of-12 from the line in the finale to seal the 59-50 victory. “Having the ball in Tristen’s hands and having him hit some foul shots, and also Bradley McCoy being able to hit some foul shots, was big,” said eighth season Southern head coach Jeff Caldwell. “We did a pretty good job on the defensive end, contesting their shots, and we were just able to hold that lead.” Wolfe led the Purple and Gold with 32 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. McCoy added 14 points for the Tornadoes, followed by Ryan Shenkelberg with nine, Crenson Rogers and Jack Lemley with two apiece. Wolfe and Scenkelberg both marked three trifectas, while McCoy added two in the win. SHS was 19-of-50 (38 percent) from the field, including 8-of-21 (38.1 percent). The Tornadoes were 13-of-16 (81.3 percent) from the free throw line, while posting 30 rebounds, eight assists, seven steals, three blocks and 14 turnovers.

Federal Hocking marked 37 rebounds, led by Snyder with 14, four assists, nine steals, three blocks and 16 turnovers in the setback. This marks the first game back at head coach for Federal Hocking’s Joe Butcher, who replaced Eric Mitchell after Mitchell resigned Friday. Butcher’s last coached the Lady Lancers from 2007-to-2010.

Both teams then battled to ties at 47, 49 and 51, but Gibbs nailed a trifecta at the 3:57 mark for a permanent lead at 54-51. Both teams started running into foul trouble from that point, and Point Pleasant closed the third with a small 4-3 run to take a 58-54 edge into the finale. The Big Blacks claimed their largest lead of 13 points at the 3:21 mark after Bradley Gibbs netted two free throws, making it a 74-61 contest. The guests cut the deficit down to nine points on three different occasions, but never managed to get closer than three possessions. The Blue Devils shot 41 percent and committed only 10 turnovers while Tornadoes forcing 20 takeaways in the setback. The difference, however, was a 40-26 deficit in rebounding, including 15-12 edge on the offensive glass. Second-year GAHS coach Gary Harrison thought that his squad played well enough offensively to win, but — as he noted afterwards — the defensive side of things was something totally different. “We were up 12 and everything seemed to be going our way, but they made some threes and everything changed when those started falling,” Harrison said. “We didn’t do a very good job of getting out to the shooters and we paid for that. “I thought we played great offensively, but our problem was that we couldn’t stop them from scoring it.

Cody Sroufe — who hit four trifectas in the first half and five overall — led the Big Blacks with 22 points, followed by Yates with 21 points and Brian Gibbs with 11 markers.

Caldwell said. “Federal TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Better late than never. Junior Cameron Richmond broke a 46-all tie with a basket in the waning moments, capping a 19-8 fourth quarter charge that ultimately allowed the Eastern boys basketball team to claim its first victory of the season Tuesday night during a thrilling 48-46 decision over visiting Miller in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Eagle’s Nest in Meigs County. The Eagles (1-1, 1-0 TVC Hocking) constantly dug holes at the start of the each half, but the hosts also found a way to get out of those predicaments with furious runs during the second and fourth cantos. The Falcons (1-1, 0-1) stormed out to an 18-10 edge after eight minutes of play, but EHS countered with 13-5 spurt in the second canto to enter halftime tied at 23-all. MHS again made a strong move at the start of the second half, utilizing a 15-6 third quarter run to secure a comfortable 38-29 cushion headed into the finale. The Eagles, however, held Miller to just three field goals and made 7-of-10 free throws down the stretch to complete a 19-8 run, allowing the hosts to turn a three-possession deficit into a two-point triumph. The Green and White connected on 20-of-62 field goal attempts for 32 percent, including a meager 1-of-17 effort from behind the arc for six percent. EHS also committed 11 turnovers, hauled in 29 rebounds and converted 7-of-13 free throw attempts for 54 percent. Christian Speelman led the hosts with a game-high 21 points, followed by Dillon Swatzel with a double-double effort of 16 points and 12 rebounds — seven of which came on the offensive glass. Cameron Richmond was next with five points and a team-best four steals. Jett Facemyer and Daschle Facemyer rounded out the winning tally with three markers apiece. Richmond and Jett Facemyer also dished out a teambest three assists each. Austin Doughty paced MHS with 16 points, followed by Elijah Rader with 11 points and Garrett Bartley with eight markers. The guests were just 4-of-11 at the charity stripe for 36 percent. 64 (NBCSN) 65 (FS1) 67 (HIST) 68 (BRAVO) 72 (BET) 73 (HGTV) 74 (SYFY) PREMIUM Funniest Home Videos Funniest Home Videos Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother NHL Hockey Columbus Blue Jackets at Washington Capitals (L) Post-game Bearcats Football The Home Depot College Football Awards (L) Champ.Drive "College Football Playoff Preview" (L) 30 for 30 "Rand University" 30 for 30 "The U" Boxing (L) Project Runway "Something Project Runway "Wear Your Project Runway: All Stars Project Runway: All Stars Project Runway: Threads Wicked This Way Comes" Heart On Your Sleeve" "Designing for the Duchess" "Luck Be a Lady" (N) "CoverLook" (N) (5:00) ++ Jack Frost ('98, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation A man plays host to ++ Scrooged A callous executive learns the true meaning Fam) Michael Keaton.

It indicated there were no obvious signs of injury and both declined to file charges. According to the report, Barrett said Barrett-Clark refused to leave his off-campus apartment in Columbus, Ohio, and struck him. Barrett-Clark said he choked her and threw her across the room. On the 911 tape, she told the dispatcher she’s pregnant. “(There is) no investigation. Both parties have the ability to file a charge against one another if they choose to at a later time through the prosecutor’s office,” Columbus Police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner said Wednesday in a text message to The Associated Press. “Both parties stated they did not want to file charges at the scene.” NEW YORK (AP) — Five power conferences. Four spots in the College Football Playoff. The leagues knew that when they helped create the new postseason system. Now administrators, coaches, players and fans are living it for the first time. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany experienced the anxiety of wondering whether his conference would be shut out when the inaugural playoff field was announced Sunday. Ohio State wound up getting in, with the Big 12 stuck on the outside. “I would’ve been very disappointed” if the Buckeyes had been left out, Delany said Wednesday at the Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in Manhattan. “But we knew when we went into this that either one or two or possibly Experienced drivers and new Class A CDL holders should apply ($6,000 tuition reimbursement for qualified candidates) uP tO $9,000 Sign-On BOnuS MAY APPLY eArn uP tO $78,000/YeAr Regional, Tanker, Dedicated and Intermodal Work Paid orientation, training and vacation Medical, dental and vision insurance 60551809 Apply: schneiderjobs.com/newjobs | More info: 800-44-Pride three conferences might not be involved. I’ve been No. 3 in the BCS, and I was prepared to be out of it again, because that was the narrative.” College football leaders defended the BCS system through years of angst over whether it was the best method for crowning a national champion. That resistance was chipped away over time — and now the sport has a four-team playoff. So cue the questions about whether that will soon expand to eight schools. “This is not going to change,” insisted Bill Hancock, the executive director of the CFP. Of course, he used to say the same thing about the Bowl Championship Series when he served as its executive director. As Hancock also acknowledged Wednesday, “The appetite for college football is insatiable.” Hancock listed similar concerns about an eightteam playoff as college officials used to voice about the four-team model: the academic calendar, maintaining the importance of the regular season, protecting the other bowls. “We knew that four was on the south side of the tipping point, but no one knows where the tipping point is,” he said after speaking on a panel at the event, which is sponsored by IMG and presented by SportsBusiness Daily/ Global/Journal. Ohio State and the Big 12’s Baylor and TCU boasted similar resumes when the selection committee made its picks Sunday. Alabama, Oregon and Florida State were widely considered the top three teams.   Schneider iS hiring truck driverS! FISH WITH IT. against the Steelers were the fourthmost by an NFL receiver this season. The best test is next Sunday in Cleveland. The Browns (7-6) need a win to stay in the division race. And Cleveland has done the best job of stopping Green throughout his career. With Joe Haden guarding him most of the time, Green has managed only five catches for 30 yards in the last two games combined, both losses. Most recently, the Browns limited him to three catches for 23 yards during a 24-3 win at Paul Brown Stadium in a Thursday night game on Nov. 6. The Browns always make it a point to shut down Green. “Joe is obviously a terrific football player,” offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said on Wednesday. “The players around him — talking about Joe — understand where A.J. is. We’ve got to make sure that he comes out there and we give him opportunities to do what he does.” Andy Dalton completed only three passes, threw three interceptions and had a passer rating of 2.0 during the loss to Cleveland. He’s determined to make Green a much bigger part of the rematch. “That’s the type of player he is, so you’ve got to keep giving him these opportunities to make these big plays,” Dalton said. Notes: Coach Marvin Lewis said linebacker Vontaze Burfict is trying to decide whether to have more surgery on his left knee. He hasn’t played since he had the knee cleaned out on Oct. 29. The Bengals had hoped he could play again this season, but the knee hasn’t recovered. He went on injured reserve Tuesday. … Cornerbacks Adam “Pacman” Jones (chest) and Dre Kirkpatrick (ribs) missed practice on Wednesday. Cornerback Terence Newman (ankle) was limited. Delany: 5 conferences comfortable with 4 CFP slots EOE M/F/D/V COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Injured Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett and his ex-girlfriend made 911 calls on Tuesday alleging each attacked the other. Barrett and Alexandria Barrett-Clark were referred to prosecutors, CINCINNATI (AP) — Cornerback Leon Hall notices something different about receiver A.J. Green during practice these days. He’s more animated. He’s not holding anything back. All good signs for a Bengals team that needs him to be a difference-maker down the stretch. Green had 11 catches for a careerhigh 224 yards during a 42-21 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday that left the Bengals (8-4-1) with no margin for error. Cincinnati is tottering atop the AFC North, a half-game ahead of Baltimore and Pittsburgh. One of the most encouraging signs for the last three games is how Green is running and cutting at full-speed, catching just about everything thrown his way during games. “He’s been something special in practice, too,” Hall said on Wednesday. “It’s been a pretty good show the last few weeks in practice. Even if the ball is not completed, you can see in his stride that he is feeling great.” In a sense, he’s making up for lost time. The fourth-year receiver was having his least-productive season until the last few weeks. He hurt his right big toe during the season opener, missed three full games and most of another, and was limited in his first few games back because the toe wasn’t fully healed. He had a career-high 12 catches — most in the AFC this season — for 121 yards during a win at Houston on Nov. 16, looking for the first time like he was fully recovered. On Sunday, an injury-slowed Ike Taylor couldn’t keep up. “Nothing special,” Green said. “I was just making plays when I was due to receive the ball.” Despite nearly a third of the season, Green ranks 16th in the NFL with 910 yards on 56 catches.
