White, 93 Leigh Wilburn, 81 Petrie sentenced to three years for sexual battery By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublicaitons.com POMEROY — Shawn E. Petrie, 35, of Cheshire, was sentenced on Monday in Meigs County Common Pleas Court under the terms of a plea agreement. Petrie plead guilty to charge of sexual battery on November 28, 2011, and on Monday was sentenced to three years in prison. The charge carried a possible sentence of five years, with all parties agreeing to the three year sentence under the plea agreement. During the sentencing hearing, the victim’s father addressed the court, along with assistant Meigs County prosecutor Amanda Bizub-Franzmann, who read a statement from the victim. Following statements from Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams and Michael Huff, attorney for the defendant, Petrie addressed the court. Reading from a written statement, Petrie expressed remorse, stating “I am truly sorry, genuinely sorry.” Judge Dale Crawford then sentenced Petrie to the three year term agreed to by all parties. As part of the plea agreement, the defendant was advised by the Court that he will be under post release control for five years, will carry a Tier III lifetime registration, and was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine. Petrie — who earlier entered a plea of not guilty to charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual battery in a July 22 incident involving a Meigs County mentally incompetent person — plead guilty to a single charge, with the other two charges — rape and kidnapping — being dropped. The charge of sexual battery is a felony of the third degree, while rape and kidnapping are felonies of the first degree. After agreeing to the plea in November, a pre-sentence investigation was ordered by the judge, who also ordered the defendant to apply to the Meigs County Community Corrections Program. He was further ordered to submit to evaluation and assessment for possible placement at SEPTA. According to Huff, Petrie is an appropriate candidate for the SEPTA program. According to Williams, the length of the prison term under the plea agreement was selected based on the weight of risk to the community, appropriate punishment for the crime and to protect all involved. Williams added that people were already hurt and going through a jury trial would have only increased the pain.

Search for woman’s remains called off in Ohio along U.S. 35 By Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com INSTITUTE, W.Va. — Despite extensive searching along U.S. 35 in Gallia, Jackson and Ross Counties in Ohio this weekend, law enforcement officers with the Kanawha County Sheriff ’s Office were unsuccessful in locating the remains of Carol Ann Rhim. Investigators believe Rhim, 53, New York, was murdered and dismembered by her boyfriend, Nathaniel Lawton, 54, Dunbar, last Tuesday and were acting on a tip that her remains had been disposed of on Thursday in separate locations along 40 miles of U.S. 35 in West Virginia and Ohio. Officers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Gallia County Sheriff ’s Office aided in the search for the victim’s remains along the right-of-way of the U.S. route on Friday and Saturday. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, members of his office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol investigative team, as well as cadaver dogs with the West Virginia K-9 search and rescue team, assisted approximately 25 Kanawha County Sheriff ’s Deputies in the search of Rhim’s remains, which reportedly may have been wrapped in plastic bags. The search for Rhim’s remains was called off in Ohio, but investigators are following up on leads in Kanawha County in hopes of locating the body parts. The suspect, Lawton, killed himself when officers arrived at his home located at 107A Barron Drive next to West Virginia State University in Institute on Thursday afternoon. He was pronounced dead at the scene of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Officers were attempting to serve a search warrant at Lawton’s residence after receiving a tip that Lawton had killed his girlfriend and dismembered her body. Reportedly, investigators found evidence of the homicide in Lawton’s apartment, as well as the Rhim’s severed head and hands in the trunk of Lawton’s car. The vehicle was secured and taken to Charleston for further investigation. The recovered body parts were sent to the West Virginia State Medical Examiner’s Office, along with Lawton’s body. Lawton’s 87-year-old mother was in the apartment at the time of the suicide and was taken from the home without apparent injury. She is currently under the care of family members. A note left by Lawton at the apartment only held information about his mother’s care and no other details. The suspect was employed at the U.S. Postal Service processing center located in South Charleston, W.Va., and investigators have reported that Rhim, originally of New York, had been in a relationship with Lawton for approximately two years prior to the incident. Individuals traveling along U.S. 35 are encouraged to call 911 or the Kanawha County Sheriff ’s Office at (304) 3570169 if anything suspicious is viewed along the roadway. �Tuesday, January 24, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Ex-CIA man accused of leaking classified info ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — An ex-CIA officer who helped track down and capture a top al-Qaida figure was charged Monday with disclosing classified secrets, including the role of one of his associates on that covert mission, in the latest of a series of prosecutions by the Obama administration against suspected leakers. John Kiriakou, 47, of Arlington, is charged with violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and the Espionage Act. A federal judge ordered Kiriakou to be released on a $250,000 unsecured bond. Kiriakou declined to comment as he left the courthouse Monday. According to authorities, Kiriakou divulged to three journalists, including a New York Times reporter, the role of “Officer B,” who worked with Kiriakou on the capture of suspected alQaida financier Abu Zubaydah in the months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times, and his case has been made an example by those who believe the interrogation technique should be outlawed. And Kiriakou’s public discussions of Zubaydah’s waterboarding were a key part of the debate. In a separate accusation, Kiriakou is alleged to have disclosed the identity of a covert operator to an unidentified journalist. Authorities say that journalist then gave the officer’s name to a team of defense lawyers representing a suspect the U.S. held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. When the lawyers included information about the officer in a sealed legal brief in 2009, the CIA became suspicious and the government began to investigate. The affidavit states that the defense lawyers were found to have done nothing wrong. According to the affidavit, FBI agents interviewed Kiriakou last week, and he denied leaking the information. When specifically asked whether he had provided the Zubaydah interrogator’s name to the Times for a 2008 article, he replied “Heavens, no.” A New York Times spokeswoman declined to comment. Kiriakou’s attorney, Plato Cacheris, told reporters after the hearing that his client will plead not guilty. He also said a potential defense argument could be that the charges criminalize conduct that has been common between reporters and government sources for decades. If convicted, Kiriakou could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The case was secretly investigated by a top federal prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of the Northern District of Illinois. Fitzgerald is best known for his successful prosecutions of Scooter Libby, former Vice Presi- dent Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, for perjury and of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich for corruption. Kiriakou has worked as a consultant to ABC News, although he hasn’t appeared on the network since early 2009. ABC declined to comment on his arrest. In a 2007 interview with the network, Kiriakou said that waterboarding was used — effectively — to break down Zubaydah. But he expressed ambivalence about pouring water into a suspect’s breathing passages to simulate drowning to try to get them to talk. “(W)e were really trying to do anything that we could to stop another major attack from happening,” Kiriakou said, describing the months after the Sept. 11 attacks. “I don’t think we’re in that mindset right now. … And, as a result, waterboarding, at least right now, is unnecessary.” The attorney who represents Zubaydah in the prisoner’s civil petition for release said he is not involved in the Kiriakou prosecution and has never met him. However, Brent Mickum said he had wanted to interview Kiriakou for information that might help the case, but the ex-CIA man refused, by email, to speak with him. “He was basically out there talking to the whole world about our client and his involvement . I would have loved to hear what he had to say, but he refused to talk to me,” Mickum said. Mickum said he has come to believe Kiriakou has overstated his knowledge and involvement in the case against Zubaydah, who has been held without charges at Guantanamo since 2006. Mickum said he and other attorneys who work at Guantanamo take security restrictions seriously and know not to reveal classified information such as the names of covert investigators. But he also said the government abuses the classification system, selectively leaking information and keeping secret anything that could embarrass U.S. officials. The charges also accuse Kiriakou of lying about his actions in an effort to convince the CIA to let him publish a book, “The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror,” in 2010. The book explores “the inner workings of the U.S. intelligence apparatus,” according to its description on Amazon.com, and “chillingly describes what it was like inside the CIA headquarters on the morning of 9/11.” Since leaving the agency, Kiriakou has also worked as a consultant and on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to his LinkedIn profile. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern studies in 1986 and a master’s degree in legislative affairs in 1988, both from George Washington University in Washington. The Justice Department’s campaign to prosecute leakers has been particularly aggressive under Obama. This is the sixth criminal leak case opened under the administration and the second involving a former CIA officer and the Times. Federal prosecutors in Alexandria claim Jeffrey Sterling divulged classified information to Times reporter James Risen about CIA efforts to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Sterling’s trial has been delayed while prosecutors appeal several pre-trial rulings, including the judge’s decision to effectively quash a government subpoena demanding that Risen testify. His attorneys argued that unless his testimony is absolutely critical to a government’s case then prosecutors should not be able to subpoena a reporter and require him to testify about anonymous sources. The Sterling case is not the only leak prosecution to run into trouble. In a case against former National Security Agency executive Thomas Drake, a judge sentenced him only to probation and scolded prosecutors for how they pursued the case. Prosecutions under the Espionage Act have been particularly contentious. Opponents say the law can be used to unfairly target those who expose government misdeeds. The law was used, for instance, to charge Daniel Ellsberg in the Pentagon Papers case, and a grand jury has been investigating whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can be prosecuted for the mass of disclosures by WikiLeaks that were allegedly fostered by leaks from Army Pfc. Bradley Manning. “Safeguarding classified information, including the identities of CIA officers involved in sensitive operations, is critical to keeping our intelligence officers safe and protecting our national security,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “Today’s charges reinforce the Justice Department’s commitment to hold accountable anyone who would violate the solemn duty not to disclose such sensitive information.” In light of the indictment, CIA Director David Petraeus reminded his agency’s employees of the essential need for secrecy in their work. “When we joined this organization, we swore to safeguard classified information; those oaths stay with us for life,” he said “Unauthorized disclosures of any sort — including information concerning the identities of other agency officers — betray the public trust, our country, and our colleagues.” Alabama hit again by tornadoes; two dead, 100 hurt OAK GROVE, Ala. (AP) — Knowing this community’s history of tornadoes, Jhan Powers gets nervous anytime violent weather rolls in. While her house was spared this time, a tornado demolished nearby mobile homes — all of which were just a short drive from a path of destruction cut just last year by a deadly twister. At least two tornadoes roared across the heart of Alabama on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 100 others during the middle of the night. More than 200 homes were destroyed, the Red Cross said, and just as many houses were heavily damaged. The storm awoke families, and many huddled together as winds howled Local stocks AEP (NYSE) — 40.80 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 17.64 Ashland Inc.

After the storms passed, rescue teams had to go door-to-door in some places, calling out to residents. The unincorporated community of Oak Grove was hit hard in April and again Monday, though officials said none of the same neighborhoods was struck twice. “I would really like to never see another tornado again,” Powers said as neighbors sorted through the remnants of their home. “When you see this destruction, how can you not take it seriously?” The area near Birmingham has a history of being a tornado alley going back a low around 35.

Just across the street, a twister ripped apart Amber and Russ Butler’ trailer, which was scattered across a pasture. The couple took cover in a relative’s brick home, and they were not injured. Further down the road, Roberts’ sister, Janice Sims, lost her husband Bobby and her home. “They were in a double wide. They have a camper buried that they use to get down in during storms, but it happened so quick they couldn’t get to it,” she said. Roberts said her sister is hospitalized but should recover. “I just don’t know what she’s going to do,” she said. As dawn broke, residents surveyed the damage and began cleaning up across several parts of central Alabama. The governor declared a state of emergency. The storm system stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, producing hail, strong winds and rain. Jefferson County, Ala., has been infamous for destructive tornadoes dating back to the 1930s. State Climatologist John Christy said there seems to be a general path from central Mississippi going into north Alabama that gets attention for a large number of especially intense tornadoes. One theory has to do with the distance from the Gulf of Mexico. The area sits between the warm moist air from the Gulf and cold air from the north. “It’s the frequency and intensity of the storms that tend to align on this corridor,” said Christy, a professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In Clay, northeast of Birmingham, 16-year-old Christina Nicole Heichelbech was killed, the Jefferson County coroner’s office said. Rescue workers said her parents were injured. Laurie Gibbs and her husband awoke to the screaming winds and went downstairs to check on their two teenage sons. A neighbor’s pine tree crashed in the back of their home within moments, punching a hole in the roof, and each of their three cars was smashed by fallen oak trees. After grabbing buckets to catch the rainwater spilling into the house, Gibbs opened the front door and looked toward the Georgebrook subdivision of brick homes across the street. “I could see power lines down, but it was dark and raining so hard I couldn’t see much else,” she said. “After a few minutes, I could tell there were houses missing.” More than a half-dozen brick homes were flattened, leaving a trail of beige insulation, clothes, splintered lumber and siding splattered along a hill. Stevie Sanders woke up around 3:30 a.m. and realized bad weather was on the way. She, her parents and sister hid in the laundry room of their brick home as the wind howled and trees started cracking.

Ohio Craigslist suspects face trial in home county COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A self-styled chaplain and a teenage boy he apparently mentored will be tried in a deadly Craigslist robbery scheme in their home county, about 100 miles from where prosecutors say three of the four crimes happened. Although two men were killed in Noble County in rural eastern Ohio and a third was shot and wounded there, neither the victims nor the two suspects were from there. The boy, 16-year-old Brogan Rafferty, was in Summit County Juvenile Court on Monday for a preliminary hearing at which he pleaded not guilty to several juvenile counts brought against him late Friday. Rafferty was a student at Stow-Munroe Falls High School in suburban Akron when he was arrested in the fall. Rafferty was charged with three counts of aggravated murder, one count of attempted murder, four counts of aggravated robbery and four counts of kidnapping, Summit County prosecutor’s spokeswoman April Wiesner said. Those counts replace charges that Rafferty faced in Noble County before his case was transferred to Summit County. Rafferty’s attorney, John Alexander, said before Monday’s hearing that it would involve the review of charges and allow for bond to be discussed. The other suspect, 52-year-old Akron resident Richard Beasley, who took Rafferty under his wing and sometimes took him to church, was indicted Friday in Summit County on several charges that carry the possibility of the death sentence if he is convicted. He has denied involvement in the Craigslist plot. Beasley was a Texas parolee when he returned to Ohio in 2004 after serving several years in prison on a burglary conviction. He was released from jail in July after a judge mistakenly allowed him to post bond on a drug-trafficking charge.

Are threatens to get in the way either or both of these situa- tions healthy? — A.F. Dear A.F.: It is interesting that television sometimes takes the place of fulfilling relationships with real people. And the same could be said for movies, books, video games or surfing the Internet. TV is being used by both of your relatives to fulfill basic human needs for connectedness and social interaction. Even though they don’t provide authentic experiences socially, research has found that the use of TV programs to connect in a superficial way with favorite characters or personalities either suppresses that need for human closeness or fulfills it — they just aren’t really sure which it is. (Or whether it is both.) Several new studies reported in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology point up just how people are using television as a substitute for other people. In the case of your uncle, the TV may well be fulfilling him in a way that is productive and helpful, since his ability to interact with people is somewhat limited, through no fault of his own. But in the case of your sister, the boob tube is being used to avoid contact with a significant other who may even be sitting in the very same room. This is not likely to help her relationship in the long run, although there may be something to be said for using TV to avoid battles with her husband.

They did it again. The Point Pleasant wrestling team repeated as team champions this past weekend at the 2012 WSAZ Wrestling Invitational held at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. The Big Blacks had two individual champions and 11 top-six efforts while posting a winning team score of 250 points, finishing 3.5 points ahead of runner-up Huntington (246.5). North Marion (163), Cabell Midland (150) and Gallia Academy (148.5) rounded out the top-five spots at the 35team event. Wahama (39.0) and River Valley (27.0) also had respective team finishes of 21st and 24th during Friday and Saturday’s con- Last-minute failures end Ravens’ season, 23-20 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens were just 14 yards away from the Super Bowl. They came no closer. Lee Evans had a ball stripped from his hands in the end zone, Dennis Pitta had another pass batted away as he was about to grab it and Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal attempt. It all happened in 16 seconds as time ran out on the Ravens’ season. “When you get opportunities to make plays,” Evans said, “you’ve got to make them.” Baltimore didn’t and the New England Patriots are headed to their sixth Super Bowl in 11 years after a 23-20 win in Sunday’s AFC championship game. The stunned Ravens are going home, forced by their own failures to look toward next season two weeks before they wanted to. “Just because we lost doesn’t mean we are defeated,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “We’ll most definitely be back. Everyone in the AFC, in the NFL, knows they are going to have to deal with us.” The Patriots had their hands full on Sunday. Trailing 23-20, the Ravens got the ball at their 21-yard line with 1:44 left after a punt. Joe Flacco led them downfield to a second-and-1 at the Patriots 14 with 27 seconds to go. On the next play, Flacco connected with Evans in the deep right corner of the end zone, but Sterling Moore knocked the ball to the ground. Some replays indicated Evans may have had control of the ball long enough for a touchdown, and Ravens coach John Harbaugh was surprised that officials didn’t review the play. In the last two minutes of a half, coaches cannot challenge calls; only replay officials can decide to take another look. But Harbaugh didn’t think a victory had been taken away. “I am not saying anything,” he said. “If we had played a little better, made another play or two, we would have won the football game.” The next play, for example. Flacco rolled out and threw to Pitta at the 3-yard line. But Moore, again at the last instant, batted the ball away. Two chances down, one to go. “It’s a kick I’ve kicked a thousand times in my career,” Cundiff said. “The timing was just a little off.” See RAVENS ‌| Page 8 Kenneth K.

PPHS juniors Steven Porter and Noah Searls were the only individual champions within the Ohio Valley Publishing area, as Porter won the 126-pound division and Searls captured the 132-pound weight class crown. Point junior Zach Nibert was also a runner- up in the 160 division. John Raike (106), Micah Powell (120), Gabe Loggins (138) and Josh Hereford (170) all placed third for the Big Blacks in their respective weight classes, while Guy Fisher (113) and Trevor Hill (152) both finished fourth overall. Brycen Reymond (182) and Jacob Starcher (195) both finished sixth for Point Pleasant, while Michael Patterson (113) scored a seventh-place fin- ish for the PPHS ‘B’ team. The Point ‘B’ team finished tied with Fairland for 22nd overall with 35.0 points. GAHS was led by senior Brandon Taylor, who was the runner-up in the 170-pound weight class. Zack Tackett (182) and Briggs Shoemaker (195) also had respective finishes of third place. Aaron Guisinger was fourth overall in the heavyweight division, while Mark Allen (160) and Cole Tawney (120) had respective placings of fifth and sixth. Scotty Warren was also seventh in the heavyweight division. Wahama’s top effort came from Randle Robie, who placed seventh overall in the 120-pound weight class.

Giants top 49ers 20-17 in OT to reach Super Bowl SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a season of fabulous finishes, Eli Manning and the Giants had another one in them. And now New York is headed toward the ending that matters most: another trip to the Super Bowl. Five plays after the 49ers’ Kyle Williams fumbled a punt, Lawrence Tynes kicked a 31-yard field goal in overtime, sending the Giants to the Super Bowl with a 20-17 victory over San Francisco in the NFC championship game on Sunday. “Guys never quit, never ever have any doubts,” Manning said. “They keep believing and fighting until the very end no matter what the circumstances are. I think everybody knew we were going to get a break, we were going to get a chance to win this game.” In another tight contest in this decades-old postseason rivalry, both defenses made key stops before New York capitalized on a rare mistake in San Francisco’s resurgent season. Williams’ blunder put the Giants in perfect position for another sensational finish in a season full of them. The first three possessions in overtime ended in punts before Williams fumbled. The Giants won it moments later and silenced for good this time the towel-waving, ponchowearing sellout crowd at cold, rainy Candlestick Park. “It was one of those situations where I tried to turn it upfield and it just didn’t work out,” Williams said. Manning and the Giants (12-7) will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis as 3-point underdogs. The last time the teams met for the NFL title, 2008, the Giants ended the Pa- triots’ bid for a perfect season. Tynes had a hand, er, foot in getting the Giants to that one, too, kicking a field goal in overtime. Devin Thomas put the Giants in position this time by recovering his second fumble of the game after Jacquian Williams stripped the ball from fill-in return man Kyle Williams, who also fumbled earlier to set up a New York touchdown. “It’s my second NFC championship game, my second game-winner,” Tynes said of his kick 7:54 into overtime. “It’s amazing. I had dreams about this last night. It was from 42, not 31, but I was so nervous today before the game just anticipating this kind of game. I’m usually pretty cool, but there was something about tonight where I knew I was going to have to make See GIANTS ‌| Page 8 Raiders top Gallia Academy, 62-54 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com BIDWELL, Ohio — Talk about killing two birds with one stone. The River Valley boys basketball team ended its eight-game losing streak this winter while also snapping a 13-game losing skid against a county rival Saturday night during a wireto-wire 62-54 victory over visiting Gallia Academy in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The Raiders (2-10) never trailed in the contest, as the hosts stormed out to a 17-7 advantage after eight minutes of play. Both teams traded 11 points in the second canto, which allowed RVHS to take a 28-18 cushion into the intermission. River Valley — which hadn’t beaten the Blue Dev- ils (3-10) since late December of 2004 — kept the momentum going in the third stanza, as the hosts utilized a 17-15 spurt to take a commanding 45-33 lead into the finale. GAHS closed regulation with a 21-17 run, but never came closer than two possessions (57-51) with under a minute to play. Derek Flint led the hosts with a game-high 18 points, followed by Austin Lewis with 12 points and Aaron Harrison with 10 markers. Trey Noble and Chris Clemente respectively added eight and seven points, while Kyle Bays and Ethan Dovenbarger rounded out the scoring with three and two markers. RVHS was 14of-27 at the free throw line for 52 percent. Justin Bailey paced Gallia Academy with 12 points, followed by Joel Johnston with 11 markers. Cody Call and Jimmy Clagg both added eight points apiece, while Reid Eastman and Nick Saunders rounded out the scoring with seven points each. The guests were 5-of-13 at the charity stripe for 38 percent. GAHS — which committed 13 turnovers in the setback — has now dropped its last six straight contests. River Valley made just nine turnovers in the triumph.

(AP) — Kevin Jones was big, but it was a freshman who helped win the game Saturday for West Virginia. Jones scored 26 points for West Virginia, and rookie Gary Browne hit a 3-pointer to send the game to overtime and a layup to help clinch a 77-74 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday. Trailing 69-66 with 24 seconds left in regulation, West Virginia (15-5, 5-2 Big East) came out of a timeout and Deniz Kilicli got the ball into the hands of Browne, who sank the shot of the game with 14 seconds remaining to send it into OT. “Deniz set a great screen and Gary got a great look,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. In overtime, Jones and Jabarie Hinds combined to go 4-for-4 from the foul line in the first 2 minutes and the Mountaineers never trailed. Browne then had a layup and Kilicli hit a jumper as the Mountaineers outscored Cincinnati (15-5, 5-2) 8-5 in OT to seal the win. “We are getting better,” Huggins said. “We are getting better every time they go out on the floor. The thing that everybody has got to appreciate is how hard they compete. They don’t give up and they just continue to compete.” Jones’ key baskets throughout the game helped nullify the fact that his running mate Darryl “Truck” Bryant was held to just six points. Jones leads the Big East in scoring (20.4 points per game) and rebounds (11.4). Bryant was averaging 18.1 points. “I’ve been feeling very confident. I’ve been working on my shooting a lot, so it just feels natural for me to go out and shoot,” said Jones. Browne and Kilicli added 13 points for the Mountaineers, and Hinds ended up with 12. Cashmere Wright was the leading scorer for Cincinnati with 17 points. He was followed by Dion Dixon and Sean Kilpatrick with 12 apiece, and Yancy Gates added 10. West Virginia led by as many as nine points in the first half, but Cincinnati closed with a 12-2 run to head into intermission leading 3332. There were two ties and six lead changes for the rest of regulation. Cincinnati led by as much as 60-55 with 5:41 left, but the Mountaineers scored five straight points for the second tie of the half. Wright made that lead three points with 3:25 remaining, but a basket by Browne, one of two free throws by Kilicli and then a Jones 3 in front of his own bench sent the Mountaineers ahead 66-65 with 1:50 to go in regulation. URG indoor track competes at Otterbein Invitational Randy Payton Special to OVP WESTERVILLE, Ohio – Kayla Graves had a first-place finish and a second-place showing, while teammate Kim Strunk had a pair of runner-up finishes to pace the University of Rio Grande indoor track and field teams at Saturday’s Otterbein Invitational. Graves, a senior from Chillicothe, Ohio, took top honors in the women’s 400-meter dash with a time of 1:03.89 and was second in the 200-meter dash with a finish of 28.23. Strunk, a sophomore from Milford, Ohio, grabbed second place in both the shot put and weight throw with heaves of 11.29m and 12.08m, respectively. Two other Rio Grande athletes had second-place outings. Senior Matt Spencer was the runner-up in the men’s 800-meter run with a time of 1:59.84, while fellow senior Cassie Mattia had the same finish in the women’s 800 with a time of 2:26.18. The RedStorm also had a pair of third-place finishers. Junior Nick Wilson was third in the men’s mile with a time of 4:30.65, while freshman Whittley Nelson took third in the women’s long jump with a leap of 4.42m. Among Rio’s other finishes in the women’s division were freshman Samantha Barnes, who was fifth in the 400-meter dash at 1:04.99; junior Haley McSurley, who was sixth in the 60-meter dash with a time of 8.78 and 13th in the 200-meter dash at 31.28; senior Kayla Renner, who was 10th in the mile at 5:38.00; junior Amy Lower, who took 10th place in the 1,000-meter run at 3:30.71; and senior Danielle Stockham, who placed 21st in the mile at 7:22.42. In the men’s bracket for Rio, freshman Dustin Moritz was sixth in the pole vault with an effort of 3.20m and 11th in the 800-meter run at 2:08.97; junior Chad McCarty was 10th in the mile at 4:38.71; and sophomore Kevin Malone was 18th in the 200-meter dash at 25.38. The RedStorm finished fifth among the five teams competing in the men’s division, while also taking fifth in the six-team women’s bracket. Event host Otterbein won the men’s title with 186 points, while Ohio Dominican was second with 153 points and Wilmington was third at 149 points. Wittenberg (117) and Rio Grande (17) completed the list. Otterbein also won the women’s division with 227 points, outdistancing runner-up Wittenberg (121) and third-place Cuyahoga Community College (98). Wilmington was fourth with 58 points, while Rio Grande (56) and Ohio Dominican (39) rounded out the field. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday, February 4, at the Cedarville Invitational. Ravens From Page 6 The snap was good. Holder Sam Koch set it down, although the laces weren’t completely facing forward. Still, it was only 32 yards. As Cundiff’s kick from the right hash mark sailed to the left of the goal post, running back Ray Rice stared in disbelief from the sideline, mouth wide open. Receiver LaQuan Williams clasped the back of his head with both hands. And why shouldn’t they be surprised? Cundiff was a first-team All-Pro last season and hadn’t missed a fourth-quarter field goal in two seasons. Of his nine misses this season, none was shorter than 34 yards. And throughout the NFL, kickers made all 24 attempts from exactly 32 yards during the regular season. “You have to take it personally,” Cundiff said. “I get paid to make field goals.” Harbaugh didn’t even let him try on the Ravens previous series. With a fourth-and-six at the Patriots 33, Flacco threw an incompletion to Pitta. The kick would have been at least 50 yards and Cundiff had missed five of his six attempts from 50 yards or more this season. “From a percentage standpoint, we probably had a better chance of getting the first down,” Harbaugh said. “We were throwing the ball well there. That’s a long field goal.” The much-criticized Flacco played one of his best games of the season, completing 22 of 36 passes for 306 yards, two touchdowns and an inter- ception. His rating was 95.4. Tom Brady’s was just 57.5, his lowest since a 49.1 in a 33-14 playoff loss to the Ravens on Jan. 10, 2010. And Flacco completed five of seven passes before the oh-so-close toss to Evans. “He played his tail off,” Ravens safety Bernard Pollard said, “and for the people who keep dogging him, man, if you never played this game, shut up.” After the failed fourthdown play on their next to last possession, the Ra- vens forced the Patriots to go three-and-out. Then Baltimore started its final drive of the season. There was the pass to Evans. “I feel like I had it, but it came out,” Evans said. “I don’t know how to put it into words. Honestly, it’s the most disappointing part of all of this that I feel personally that I let everybody down.” Then came the pass to Pitta. And, finally, the kick by Cundiff. “Not one play won or lost this game,” linebacker Ray Lewis said. “There’s no ‘Oh, Billy’s the fault. Billy missed the (kick).’ There’s no freaking ‘Billy missed the kick.’ It happened. Move on. “We’re grinders,” he said, wiping his face with a towel in the quiet Ravens locker room. “We’re coming home and we’re coming home with smiles. But, most importantly, when we start back training, we’re coming back (ticked) off. Why wouldn’t we be?” fourth-quarter wins during the regular season. He threw a go-ahead 17yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 8:34 remaining after Kyle Williams fumbled for the first time. The Giants challenged that the ball touched Williams’ right knee and Thomas recovered with 11:06 left and coach Tom Coughlin won, giving the Giants the ball back at the 29. “That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoy football at it’s very basic element,” said Coughlin, who matched former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most road playoff wins with seven. “Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately, we were able to do that.” A 12-point underdog in the 2008 title game, the Giants battered Brady and got a last-minute TD pass from Manning to Plaxico Burress to win their third Super Bowl. Five months ago, Manning declared he was in the same class as Tom Brady. Now, he’ll get another chance to outdo him on the NFL’s biggest stage. During this playoff run, he’s already outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the defending champion Packers, and fellow former No. 1 pick Alex Smith. Cruz set the tone Sunday with eight of his 10 receptions in the first half and finished with 142 yards. “It’s just been a tremendous effort by all of us, man,” Cruz said. “We understand that any one of us can get hot at any moment. As long as we’re all on the same page and just playing together, man, we’ve got a great group of guys.” The Giants appeared on the verge of collapsing and Coughlin’s job status in jeopardy just a month ago, when they fell to 7-7 with an embarrassing loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18. They were facing elimination the following week against the Jets and Rex Ryan, but the Giants won 29-14. They followed with a 31-14 win over Dallas in the regular-season finale to win the NFC East and get to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round, and then came another stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay. Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 73 and 28 yards for the NFC West champions (14-4), who went from 6-10 a year ago to a contender and ended an eight-year playoff drought. “It will be a tough one. It will take a while to get over,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “There were a lot of ways in which we played well enough to win. We just didn’t come away with it.” Smith completed just 12 of 26 passes for 196 yards, connecting on only one short throw to a wide receiver. With no threats on the outside, San Francisco managed one third-down conversion, coming on the final play of regulation. The offense was unable to overcome Williams’ blunders. “You hate to be the last guy that had the ball, to give it away in that fashion and to lose a game of this magnitude,” Williams said. “It is what it is. We’re going to move forward as a team. Everyone has come to pat me on the back and the shoulder to say it’s not me.” Giants From Page 6 a kick. Hats off to Eli, offense, defense. Great win.” Holder Steve Weatherford celebrated with a slip-and-slide on his back down the soggy field. Victor Cruz fell to his knees. Tynes quickly found his crying wife for a warm hug. Manning tossed his gloves into the temporary seats with a big smile, then received a surprise visit from big brother, Peyton, in the locker room. Manning went 32 of 58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns and overcame six sacks in his record fifth road playoff win, New York’s fifth in a row overall.

You find that often you have difficulty understanding new concepts because of a very tight belief system. Try to open up the filters to see the world with more depth. If you lighten up, many opportunities could come forward. If you are single, it might be difficult to maintain that status. If you are attached, your significant other cannot get enough of you. A fellow AQUARIUS is independent like you but very different in other ways. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might want to touch base with others before a meeting. Make sure you all are on the same page. For the most part, if everyone has the same objectives, a flow exists. Information gathering needs to continue. Tonight: Where the fun is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH Take a stand and acknowledge what is going on behind the scenes. You have the ability to get together with others and clear out a problem. Your intuition combines with leadership, and new skills emerge. Trust your instincts. Tonight: To the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Reach out for someone at a distance. Your ability to clear out a mess, to think differently and to resolve issues evolves. Have you been toying around with taking a class, or perhaps a mini vacation? Schedule this event. if not now, soon. Tonight: Answer your emails, then decide. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Work with someone directly before making a judgment. Much more is going on than you think with this person. Your impressions might be askew, therefore you will not be able to trust what you believe “should” happen.

(AP) — Darrell Waltrip was nicknamed “Jaws” as a driver for his outrageous trashtalking. His loquaciousness launched his second career, as one of NASCAR’s most recognized and outspoken television analysts. But on the eve on his induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, ‘ol DW has no idea what he’s going to say in Friday night’s ceremony. “I’ve written 10 speeches and after the 10th one, I threw it away, and said ‘I can’t write a speech,’” Waltrip said. “I’m pretty spontaneous, so I’m just going to get up and say what I think and hope it’s the right thing.” Waltrip hasn’t always said the right thing in a career that dates back to his 1972 debut in NASCAR’s top series. He angered his rivals as a driver, and his strong opinions as an analyst for both Fox Sports and Speed have made him one of the more polarizing commentators in NASCAR. Some might even think it cost him a shot in last year’s voting, when despite three championships and 84 victories, Waltrip was shut out of the second Hall of Fame class. Waltrip had signed on with Speed as an analyst for voting day, and from his perch on the stage at the back of the Great Hall, his face couldn’t hide his heart- break over not making the second class. He tried not to get his hopes up this time around, but everybody knew how badly Waltrip wanted to be included in the third class. Brian France called his name last June, Waltrip rushed onto the podium and kissed the NASCAR chairman. Waltrip goes into the Hall of Fame with threetime champion Cale Yarborough, NASCAR modified great Richie Evans, innovative crew chief Dale Inman and Glen Wood, one of NASCAR’s original team owners. The show will belong to Waltrip, though, who knew as a child he wanted to be an entertainer and found a way to incorporate his desire to perform into his NASCAR career. He was brash and bold and loved being in front of the cameras. His style, his showmanship, was like nothing NASCAR had ever seen before and paved the way for more personality from the drivers. “I always thought it would be fun to be an actor, or a comedian, but I guess race car driving suited me,” he said. “I like to make people laugh, which is better than making them cry, right? Some people take the path of least of resis- tance, but I take the path I couldn’t resist. I looked at everything I did, what if I did everything that everybody else is doing as they go down that path. I figured there’s a lot more room going in this other direction then there is in that direction with all the other guys who chewed Skoal and wore belt buckles and cowboy hats. I’m not making fun of them, I just chose not to go down that route, to be more upscale, in a class by myself. I was a Penske guy living in an Earnhardt world.” He will be again on Friday night when his largerthan-life personality is sure to outshine Yarborough, Inman and Wood. Evans, winner of nine NASCAR national modified championships over a 13-year span, was killed in a 1985 accident at Martinsville Speedway. He was 44. Yarborough from 197678 became the first driver in NASCAR history to win three consecutive championships, a record that stood until Jimmie Johnson’s run of five-straight titles. He finished second in the standings another three times, and ended his career with 83 victories sixth on the all-time list. Yarborough was a fourtime Daytona 500 winner, but decided in 1980 to run only partial schedules for the final nine years of his career. “I realized I had three daughters growing up and I was away from them all the time,” he said. “Even though racing was very important in my life, I felt like they were a little more important so I was going to spend some more time with them and be with them in their growing-up years. There’s no telling how many wins I left on the table, but I definitely made the right decision.” Inman led his cousin, Hall of Famer Richard Petty, to a record seven championships. The crew chief won an eighth title with Terry Labonte. From 1958 to 1992, he led drivers to 193 wins and 129 poles. His standout year was 1967 when he guided Petty to a NASCAR-record, 27 races including 10-straight in a single car built a year earlier. “Dale was a racing benchmark,” Petty said. “He was the sport’s first official crew chief and people modeled themselves after him. He knew what, when and where and when he made a mistake he wasn’t afraid to admit it. Everyone respected him for that. Nobody even comes close to the number of wins that Dale has recorded.” Wood, at 86 the oldest member of this incoming Jeff Siner photo/Charlotte Observer/MCT Former NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip laughs after answering a question inside The Great Hall & Glory Road area at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday, March 22, 2010. Waltrip’s No. 11 Mountain Dew Buick will be one of the first items exhibited when the NASCAR Hall of Fame opens to the public. class, formed a race team that still competes today in Stuart, Va., with his four brothers. Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500 last year for the Wood Brothers, giving the team its 98th victory spanning seven different decades. Bayne’s win was the team’s fifth Daytona 500 victory, and the Wood Brothers also won the 1965 Indianapolis 500 with Jim Clark. Wood’s brother, Leonard, choreographer of the modern pit stop, is a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee. “It’s such a long trip from 1950 to now. It’s sort of hard to believe,” Wood said. “It’s one of the biggest honors you could have. I didn’t come here alone; I had a lot of help. There’s five of us brothers. All of those helped at one time or another.” Big Ten, Penn State not a dream matchup at start Rusty Miller Associated Press A comfortable member of the Big Ten for more than two decades, it’s easy to forget that Penn State wasn’t readily welcomed by everyone in the conference. “I’ve been to Penn State,” said Bob Knight, then the coach at Indiana, when Penn State was first invited to join the league in 1990. “And Penn State’s a camping trip. There’s nothing for about 100 miles.” Rick Bay, then Minnesota’s athletic director, was hoping that the Big Ten didn’t expand. And that if it had to, he hoped the addition wouldn’t be Penn State. “I don’t think it’s a done deal,” he said. “Maybe it’s some wishful thinking on my part.” Even Indiana’s president said he would vote against bringing Penn State aboard. So it wasn’t as if all the Big Ten’s coaches and administrators sang ‘We Are The World’ and offered a warm hug to the Nittany Lions. The math didn’t work how do you schedule 11 teams? The travel was a pain ever try to get to State College, Pa.? And there was the troublesome problem of what to call the new entity.

The pragmatist in the grand design was Penn State football coach Joe Paterno. In 1990, he’d already been in charge of the Nittany Lions for 24 years and, amazingly, would remain coach for 22 years more. Penn State had been an independent for 106 years before it joined the Big Ten. The Big Ten hadn’t added a school since Michigan State in 1949. Paterno knew the change would be difficult on everyone. “The (Big Ten’s) presidents made an invitation and we accepted it,” Paterno said then. “It’s not going to be easy, though. I have a lot of empathy for coaches and athletic directors who have to make this happen. The easy part was done by the presidents. The hard part has to be worked out by others.” For the record, not everyone in Happy Valley was sold on a conference affiliation, either. One caller to a radio talk show said, “I think Penn State took a step down. I see Penn State giving everything to the Big Ten and getting nothing back in return.” For years, Penn State had tried to create an Eastern conference, but had failed. Most neighboring schools didn’t look at football the same way Penn State did. Plus, there were differences in size, academic goals and geography to address. At least the Big Ten was comprised of like universities in contiguous states. Still, even Penn State alumni were lukewarm to the lack of established rivalries and having to travel over 1,000 miles to watch the Nittany Lions play at Minnesota. “It’s been mixed,” said Peter Weiler, then Penn State’s executive director of the alumni association. “But the temperature is changing. This thing has been percolating for a while. When it first hit the streets, the reaction is completely different than what you have now. There’s a lot of anticipation for the first game.” Now the addition of Penn State is seen as a template for other conference expansions, commonplace in college sports these days. Penn State has been a perfect fit for both the university and the Big Ten, particularly in football. Paterno, who died of lung cancer Sunday at the age of 85, became the conference patriarch as a rookie. “If you look at just adding a guy like Joe and what he brought individually and what he represented, there was a star power,” said Jordan Hyman, a Penn State alum who worked for the school paper and has written books on Nittany Lions football. “You look at the other coaches in the Big Ten, he was the guy. He had the magnetism. No offense to the (John) Coopers and (Lloyd) Carrs of the world, but they’re not Joe. “And never will be.” The addition of Penn State expanded the Big Ten in more ways than geography. Sure, it added fans in New York and the East Coast to what had been a somewhat insular, Midwestern league. But it also enhanced the conference’s prominence nationally. Recruiting for other schools started stretching further to the East while Paterno made inroads in Ohio and Michigan. And the inclusion of Penn State increased the Big Ten’s television profile and almost immediately proved to be a financial bonanza for all 11 schools. It’s hard to imagine where the Big Ten would be without Penn State and vice versa. “Much the way that Penn State kind of acquired a little more national respect and a national footprint through the Big Ten, Penn State coming in helped to further nationalize the Big Ten,” Hyman said. Still, it took time. The first year or two, there was some mistrust and downright enmity between Penn State and the existing members. Michigan, then the reigning bully in the Big Ten, beat the Nittany Lions 21-13 on Oct. 16, 1993, for their first conference loss. The Wolverines didn’t hide their feelings. “We wanted to welcome Penn State to the Big Ten in a Big Ten fashion, and I think we did that today,” center Marc Milia said. They resented all the attention Penn State was getting in its first season in the Big Ten. “You just have to pay your dues. Just like a freshman, you can’t come in bragging and boasting,” said running back Tyrone Wheatley, who rushed for 192 yards in the victory. But it didn’t take long for Penn State to prove it belonged. Within two years, Paterno and his team were Big Ten champs. He called reaching the Rose Bowl his Nittany Lions did it twice one of the highlights of an unprecedented 46-year coaching career which included a majorcollege record 409 victories. These days, most Big Ten athletes would have no idea that Penn State hadn’t always been a member, the fit is so ideal. But for visionaries like Paterno and others, it took some selling. “It’s good for Penn State and the Big Ten,” he said at the time. “Anybody who doesn’t think that is very shortsighted.” ___ Follow Rusty Miller on Twitter: http://www.twitter. com/rustymillerap . $6/mo.
