WASHINGTON (AP) — Both men relish the wonky talk in their own way. Mitt Romney, like an executive making a forceful sales pitch, shows an easy confidence that suits a presidential contender. Barack Obama sounds like a long-winded professor a tad annoyed at having to go over this stuff one more time for the students in the back. For viewers of this year’s first presidential debate one takeaway was clear — if you want detailed discussion of the issues, not just zingers, expect to sit through 90 minutes of some pretty dry stuff. “The impression you leave with is, wow, this whole economy thing is complicated, and these are two people who are knowledgeable about the details,” said Jennifer Mercieca, a Texas A&M associate professor who studies political discourse. “That can only serve Romney well, because he looks as knowledgeable and presidential as Obama does.” Other things learned from the first of three RomneyObama matchups: When the pressure is on, Romney rises to the occasion. He knows how to accuse his opponent of deception while still sounding civil. With a thin lead in the See DEBATE/Page 3

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Community Blood Center is helping support the cause with a “Fight Cancer” campaign honoring cancer patients and blood donors. Everyone who registers to donate blood between now and Oct. 20 at any CBC branch or most mobile blood drives will receive the “Fight Cancer — I support the fight. I donate blood” Tshirt. This year the shirt is white and features the iconic pink ribbon, recognized internationally as the symbol for breast cancer research and awareness. Chat with donors on a typical day at the Dayton CBC and you’ll quickly recognize the bond between those touched by cancer and those who give blood. Michael Gale, of Butler Township, Montgomery County, who made his 350th lifetime donation, explained why he became a platelets and plasma apheresis donor. “My wife died of cancer,” he said. “She was getting a lot of platelets. That’s when I started.” On the very next bed in the donor room, Carman Kahler, of Dayton, made her 60th lifetime donation.

Sidney Daily News,Friday, October 5, 2012
OFFICIALS “At this time, it is estimated that a total of $18,485.92 was misappropriated, used for personal purposes or questionable purchases not associated with the Humane Society,” Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart said in a press release issued Thursday. Lescowitch was indicted for one count of theft in office, a felony of the fourth degree, and Bray for one count of theft, a felony of the fifth degree. A court order by Shelby County Common Pleas Court has frozen cash assets of $19,107 currently in two accounts held by the Humane Society. The society, which was operating as a 501 (c) (3), nonprofit organization, had failed to file the proper documentation to continue its nonprofit status and is accused of continuing to use a 501 (c)(3) status for three years without authoriza-
tion to do so. The 501 (c) (3) designation is conferred upon qualified nonprofit organizations by the Internal Revenue Service, and, in Ohio, exempts those organizations from paying sales taxes on purchases of goods and services used to further their missions. Humane Society personnel have been accused of making purchases for personal purposes under the nonprofit status, thereby avoiding the paying of sales taxes. The investigation revealed that Humane Society funds were allegedly used to pay for the towing of Bray’s personal wave runners, tires for her personal vehicle, personal cell phone bills, Wii games and various other purchases. It was also found that Walmart gift cards were allegedly purchased with Humane Society funds and were later used to purchase items for personal use.
From Page 1 “I didn’t steal any money,” Lescowitch told the Sidney Daily News Thursday. “For 10 years, I protected that money under all kinds of circumstances. I don’t believe Angie would steal from the Humane Society. I authorized her borrowing money for tires. She was taking animals to Dayton in her car to be fixed. She needed tires. She borrowed money and she paid it back. I also authorized her paying a couple of phone bills. I need to be able to reach her on the phone.” There were also several instances of misuse of the Humane Society credit cards, according to Lenhart. “If someone used those cards for something, I don’t know about it,” Lescowitch said. “I don’t have control of those cards. I know we bought flowers to plant near the American Legion hall’s sign. Half were donated
DEBATE polls, Obama prefers to play it safe and pull his punches. Romney sounds smooth and in command. Obama’s style is sometimes halting, as if he’s pausing to reflect midsentence. Viewers Wednesday night also learned that Romney can deploy a joke without sounding awkward. And he can maintain a pleasant half-smile for a heroic amount of time. Obama’s grin is toothy and sincere but rarely comes out onstage. Neither man is gregarious or particularly warm; no Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton here. They share a managerial style of leadership and the assurance and self-regard of Harvard men. Each can seem prickly when challenged. But Romney controlled it better. “I think Romney did it just right. He was aggressive without being perceived as annoying or disrespectful,” said Robert Denton Jr., head of the Communications Department at Virginia Tech. With Obama, Denton said, “There was a little bit of a tone there, a little bit of an edge. He sounded a little frustrated at times in terms of the forcefulness of the explanation.”
From Page 1 The rivals’ next two outings will be different, no doubt. Reacting to the harsh reviews, Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod was already saying on Thursday that his team would “take a hard look at this” and “make adjustments” in the president’s debate strategy. The format of the town hall-style debate on Oct. 16 may favor Obama, who appears relaxed at such events as president and is rated more likable and empathetic than Romney in opinion polls. Likewise, the foreign policy and national security debate on Oct. 22 would seem to play into Obama’s area of expertise as president. But it could also dovetail nicely with Romney’s efforts to assail Obama’s handling of the Mideast and the war in Afghanistan. In Wednesday’s domestic policy debate, Romney demonstrated he can boil down his points in simple, pragmatic language. He delighted in labeling Obama’s vision “trickledown government.” He talked in numerical lists, with constant references to “my No. 1 principle,” part two of the plan, a third area of disagree-

and we bought the other half. We bought all the food for the dogs at the animal shelter from November through May.” The Humane Society’s record keeping was almost nonexistent and willfully negligent, according to the sheriff’s press release: “There was cash spent without any explanation of what the money was used for. During the course of the investigation, investigators found that donations were made to the humane society without those funds being reported, recorded, or deposited into a Humane Society account.” The issue of the organization’s nonprofit status will be turned over to the IRS for further investigation, Lenhart said. It is believed at this time that $649.46 is owed to the state for sales taxes that were not paid on purchases made for personal purposes.
ment, seeming just on the verge of turning to a PowerPoint screen. Obama, in contrast, sometimes seemed momentarily lost as he lapsed into his trademark pauses during long answers, such as his criticism of Romney’s proposal for helping people with pre-existing conditions keep health insurance coverage. “He’s not a Bill Clinton. Clinton was the explainer in chief at the Democratic convention, taking complex issues and explaining them so people understand,” said Rita Kirk, a Southern University Methodist professor who studies campaign communications. “That doesn’t seem to be Obama’s particular gift. More to the point, it seemed to be Romney’s gift last night.” While Romney pounded away at Obama over the nation’s slow economic recovery and high unemployment, Obama didn’t raise many of the criticisms he deploys against his rival in campaign speeches and advertising. No mention of Romney’s remarks about “47 percent of Americans” who depend on government aid and won’t take responsibility for their lives. Nor
did Obama bring up women’s health issues or immigration reform, or talk about Romney’s wealth and use of offshore investments. “I’m dumbfounded,” said Denton, who has coached mayoral and gubernatorial candidates in debate skills. “I don’t understand it from a political perspective, a debate perspective or a strategic perspective, unless it is just do no harm. Let’s ride it out and play it safe.” Viewers saw that Romney was willing to take bigger risks. He may have gone too far once, declaring he wanted to end federal subsidies for PBS, including even Sesame Street’s Big Bird. “We learned that he wasn’t concerned about Big Bird,” said Mercieca. “That might be the one thing we remember about this debate.” ——— Follow Connie Cass on T w i t t e r : http://www.Twitter.com /ConnieCass

DEMBSKI pursue any future civil action on the complaint. Jon Paul Rion, of the firm representing the plaintiffs, said earlier this week that the dismissal had been filed because of “an issue with a witness and their availability.” He said that issue had since been resolved, and the firm always intended to refile right away. “We absolutely are going forward with this,” Rion said Monday. “It’s a very important case.” The original lawsuit

BULLETIN BOARD
How to celebrate Fire Prevention Week It’s time for Fire Prevention Week and from Sunday through Oct. 13, the Sidney Department of Fire & Emergency Services will join the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to teach local residents how to prevent fires in homes. This year’s theme focuses on home fire-escape planning and having two ways out of every room. Create your home fire escape plan: •Walk through your home and inspect all possible ways out. •Draw a floor plan of your home. •Mark two ways out of every room, including windows and doors. •Make sure everyone can recognize the sound of the smoke alarm. •Choose an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home and mark it on your escape plan. •Make arrangements for anyone who has a disability or needs help escaping. •Be sure everyone knows the emergency phone number of the fire department. Practice your home fire escape plan: •Practice your plan twice a year, making the drills as realistic as possible. •Hold fire drills both during the day and at night. •If children or others don’t wake when the smoke alarm sounds, assign someone to wake them up. •Practice getting low and going under smoke to your way out. •Test doors to see if they are hot before opening them. •Close doors on your way out to slow the spread of fire. •Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them. Know what to do if smoke or fire prevents you from exiting: •Close all doors between you and the fire. •Use duct tape or towels to seal door cracks and air vents to keep smoke from coming in. •Open windows at the top and bottom if possible so fresh air can get in. •Call the fire department to let them know where you are. •Call attention to your location by waving a flashlight or light-colored cloth at the window. When you hear the smoke alarm, get out and stay out: •Leave immediately and go directly to your outside meeting place. •Don’t stop to gather belongings. •Don’t go back inside for any reason. •Once you’re safely outside, call the fire department from your cell phone or a neighbor’s phone. •Tell firefighters if any people or pets are trapped in the home. The Department of Fire & Emergency Services, 122 W. Poplar St., has a supply of free smoke detectors for low and moderate income households.

Auditor questions five school districts’ policies BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The state’s auditor says five Ohio school districts have used questionable attendance policies and practices, putting them at a higher risk for scrubbing attendance data to improve their school report cards. The districts are Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Marion and Campbell in Mahoning County. Scrubbing is the practice of removing students from enrollment without lawful reason. State Auditor Dave Yost released the preliminary findings Thursday as part of his investigation into potentially irregular atand enrollment AP Photo/Matt Sayles, File tendance practices around the state. He anIN THIS Aug. 12, 2008, file photo, musician Joan Jett performs with her band, the Blackhearts, as part of ticipates the last pre-election upNissan Live Sets on Yahoo!

of fall levy votes in many districts. “My sense is most schools are not doing this,” Yost said. “My sense is also that as we continue this work, we are going to find other schools.” Yost cautioned that his review has not addressed districts’ motives for scrubbing the data. He said it could be entirely innocuous. “There’s always been the possibility of criminal referrals. Ohio has a records tampering statute. It’s a serious matter,” he said. “That said, it does have a ‘mens rea,’ or an intent element, to it. And so the kind of work we’ve done here is necessary to support a criminal prosecution but it’s not sufficient.” Thursday’s results were drawn from a review of an initial 100 school buildings — or about 3 per-
cent of Ohio’s 3,688 public schools. The schools, housed in 47 districts, were selected for initial review because they had the highest number of student assessment test takers whose scores were “rolled up” to the state level and removed from district averages. Yost said some schools in the five districts withdrew students based on a pattern of absences, which could have been influenced by lower test scores, without proper documentation. That included Toledo City Schools, which automatically withdraws students who have had a total of 20 unexcused absences for the year after five consecutive days of them. Auditors found the district dropped this “5/20 rule,” then reinstituted it after seeing a decline in local report card rankings.
Disabled parking NEWS BRIEFS Rush, Public Enemy Top teacher named permits increase among Rock Hall of Fame nominees BY CHRIS TALBOTT Associated Press
Rush, Deep Purple, Public Enemy and N.W.A. are among the group of first-time nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They join returnees Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Randy Newman, Donna Summer and Kraftwerk among the 15 artists vying for entry. Even in the iPod age, the list of nominees up for induction in 2013 is as eclectic as they come. Nominees differ wildly in sound, origin and influence, ranging from the enduring prog rock of Canadian trio Rush and Procol Harum to German proto-electronica act Kraftwerk, the disco of Chic and Summer to the New Orleans funk of The Meters and the blues of Albert King and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Motown also is represented by first-ballot entries The Marvelettes. Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, acknowledged the extreme variety of this year’s nominee class in a Thursday news release. “The definition of ‘rock and roll’ means different things to different people, but as broad as the classifications may be, they all share a common love of the music,” Peresman said. “This year we again proudly put forth a fantastic array of groups and artists that span the entire genre that is ‘rock and roll.’” A group of 600 artists, music historians and members of the industry will choose 2013’s inductees. They will be honored April 18 in Los Angeles. It’s the sixth time on the ballot for Summer, but the first since her death in May at age 63. Chic is on the ballot for the seventh time since 2003. ___ Online: http://rockhall.com ___ Follow AP Music Writer Chris Talbott: http://twitter.com/ Chris_Talbott.
DAYTON (AP) — A sharp increase in the number of disabled parking permits issued in Ohio has raised questions about whether they are too easy to acquire and how to meet the demand for spaces, a newspaper reported Thursday. The state of Ohio handed out 300,000 of the disabled parking placards last year, which was a 21percent increase from 2006, according to the Dayton Daily News. Requirements to get a placard include a prescription from a health professional, which requires proof of a disability, an application to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and a $3.50 fee. A health care professional must certify that an applicant meets standards for disability. That can include the inability to walk 200 feet without resting, needing a cane, crutch or other assistance to walk, or use of portable oxygen. Still, some consider the application process too lax. “It is the general feeling of council members that it is too easy to get one of those placards,” Linda Oda, chairwoman of the Governor’s Council on People with Disabilities, told the newspaper. Officials have noted drivers parking in disabled spaces without placards, using placards of

COLUMBUS (AP) — A math instructor who coaches varsity girls’ volleyball in suburban Columbus has been named the 2013 Ohio Teacher of the Year. The Ohio Department of Education says Carole Morbitzer of Hamilton Township High School was surprised with the announcement Wednesday night before a volleyball game. Principal Jim Miller says Morbitzer enjoys teaching students who don’t like math and has shown she can build their confidence in tackling the subject. He says she’s a good teacher, leader and community partner. She also has received awards for her work in coaching and in fundraising for breast cancer research as a volunteer with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure network. Morbitzer has taught in the area since 1995 and has worked at Hamilton Township High School since 2006.

The Mansfield News Journal reports that event will feature a number of psychics and mediums, lectures on supernatural subjects and a Hollywood expert revealing secrets behind horror movie effects.

Cuts delay response NORTON (AP) — A fire chief says cutbacks in his department delayed the response to a fire that consumed a northern Ohio church. Authorities said the fire late Wednesday destroyed The Father’s House Church in Norton, near Akron. Media reports said 13 departments responded to the fire, but faced challenges putting it out due to lack of fire hydrants in the area. Norton Fire Department Chief Mike Schultz said the effort was also hampered by the fact there were no firefighters on duty in the city when the fire was reported at about 11:30 p.m. Schulz said staffing had to be cut after a local levy failed in March. Now there are no firefighters on duty from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. Voters also defeated a levy last November.

An inmate was indicted by a Shelby County g r a n d j u r y Thursday for allegedly spitting on corrections officers in t h e Young Shelby County Jail, a case that resulted in related charges being filed against a corrections officer. Elisabeth Victoria Young, 19, of Sidney, is facing two charges for having spit on Deputy Lew Warbington and Corrections Officer Cathy Boetigger while she was restrained in a chair Aug. 30. Detective Lt. James Frye of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office
said the indictment was for two counts of harassment with bodily fluids, fifth-degree felonies. Young allegedly spit on the two corrections officers and was then allegedly punched twice in the face by Corrections Officer Teresa McElfresh, 59, of Sidney, who was present but was not among those spat upon. If convicted, Young faces six to 12 months in jail and a maximum fine of $2,500. She remains in the Shelby County Jail, serving a sentence for an

living or deceased family members or even using their issued placards to park in disabled spaces when traveling to activities such as aerobics. Dr. Jill Manahan, who practices internal medicine, says that the process to issue a handicapped placard is “definitely subjective.” “All a physician needs to do is write a prescription, and really, that’s all that’s involved,” Manahan said. “Most of the time you see it done through orthopedists, but other people may have chronic pain or extreme obesity. There’s no set-in-stone criteria.” However, experts caution people not to assume a placard is being misused when they see a driver without an obvious handicap. “There may be people with a heart issue,” said Kathy McMahon-Klosterman, a Miami University professor who has worked in special education. “Maybe they’ve only got so many steps in them.” Fines for inappropriate disabled space parking, which range from $250 to $500, usually are posted next to the spaces. Some say those reminders aren’t enough to discourage wrongdoing. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, one out of every 25 parking spots must be accessible to the handicapped, and one of every eight of these handicapped parking spaces has to be van accessible. If there are 500 to 1,000 parking spaces, 2 percent of them must be handicapped accessible. For parking lots with more than 1,000 spaces, 1 of every 100 spaces must be accessible. ___ Information from: Dayton Daily News, http://www.daytondailynews.com
NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Friday, Oct. 5, the 279th day of 2012. There are 87 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Oct. 5, 1962, The Beatles’ first hit recording, “Love Me Do,” was released in the United Kingdom by Parlophone Records. The first James Bond theatrical feature, “Dr. No” starring Sean Connery as Agent 007, premiered in London. On this date: ■ In 1829, the 21st president of the United States, Chester Alan Arthur, was born in Fairfield, Vt. (Some sources list 1830.) ■ In 1892, the Dalton Gang, notorious for its train robberies, was practically wiped out while attempting to rob a pair of banks in Coffeyville, Kan. ■ In 1910, Portugal was proclaimed a republic following the abdication of King Manuel II in the face of a coup d’etat. ■ In 1921, the World Series was covered on radio for the first time as Newark, N.J., station WJZ relayed reports from the Polo Grounds, where the New York Giants were facing the New York Yankees. (Although the Yankees won the opener, 3-0, the Giants won the series, 5 games to 3.) ■ In 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon completed the first nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Washington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan. ■ In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, speaking in Chicago, called for a “quarantine” of aggressor nations. ■ In 1941, former Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis — the first Jewish member of the nation’s highest court — died in Washington at age 84. ■ In 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis. ■ In 1953, Earl Warren was sworn in as the 14th chief justice of the United States, succeeding Fred M. Vinson. ■ In 1970, British trade commissioner James Richard Cross was kidnapped in Canada by militant Quebec separatists; he was released the following December. ■ In 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed a resolution granting honorary American citizenship to Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving thousands of Hungarians, most of them Jews, from the Nazis during World War II.
OUT OF THE BLUE Second gator found in parking lot BALDWIN, N.Y. (AP) — An alligator has been found in a supermarket parking lot on New York's Long Island, just a day after another gator was discovered in the same lot. A 3-to-4-foot-long alligator was discovered in the Pathmark parking lot Wednesday afternoon. On Tuesday, a 2-to-3-foot gator was found there. The reptiles were captured and turned over to the Nassau County Emergency Services Unit. They will be sent to a reptile sanctuary in Florida. WCBS-Radio reports that authorities believe that someone dumped them there. It was the third gator sighting on Long Island in less than a week. Last Friday, an alligator was found crawling on the front lawn of a Mastic beach home.

Hundreds seen at risk in meningitis outbreak BY MIKE STOBBE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The potential scope of the meningitis outbreak that has killed at least five people widened dramatically Thursday as health officials warned that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients who got steroid back injections in 23 states could be at risk. Clinics and medical centers rushed to contact patients who may have received the apparently fungus-contaminated shots. And the Food and Drug Administration urged doctors not to use any products at all from the Massachusetts pharmacy that supplied the suspect steroid solution. It is not clear how many patients received tainted injections, or even whether everyone who got one will get sick. So far, 35 people in six states — Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina and Indiana — have contracted fungal meningitis, and five of them have died. All had received steroid shots for back pain, a highly common treatment. In an alarming indication the outbreak could get a lot bigger, Massachusetts health officials said the pharmacy involved, the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has recalled three lots consisting of a total of 17,676 single-dose vials of the steroid, preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate. An unknown number of those vials reached 75 clinics and other facilities in
Ohio has no cases in outbreak COLUMBUS (AP) — Health officials say Ohio received shipments of the type of steroid suspected in a deadly outbreak of meningitis, but no cases of that illness have been reported in the state. A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health says it has notified local health departments, which are supposed to alert clinics that received the steroid so they can pass on the warning to any patients who may be affected. Federal officials say investigators this week found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak that has sickened 35 people in six states. Five of them have died. All received steroid shots for back pain. 23 states between July and September, federal health officials said. Several hundred of the vials, maybe more, have been returned unused, one Massachusetts official said. But many other vials were used. At one clinic in Evansville, Ind., more than
500 patients got shots from the suspect lots, officials said. At two clinics in Tennessee, more than 900 patients — perhaps many more — did. The investigation began about two weeks ago after a case was diagnosed in Tennessee. The time from infection to onset of symptoms is anywhere from a few days to a month, so the number of people stricken could rise. Investigators this week found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the New England company, according to FDA officials. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak. The company has shut down operations and said it is working with regulators to identify the source of the infection. “Out of an abundance of caution, we advise all health care practitioners not to use any product” from the company, said Ilisa Bernstein, director of compliance for the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Tennessee has by far the most cases with 25, including three deaths. Deaths have also been reported in Virginia and Maryland. Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include severe and worsening headache, nausea, dizziness and fever. The type of fungal meningitis involved is not contagious like the more common forms. It is caused by a fungus often found in leaf mold and is treated with high-dose antifungal medications, usually given intravenously in a hospital.
Social media render rapid judgment on presidential debate BY BETH FOUHY The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Big Bird is endangered. Jim Lehrer lost control. And Mitt Romney crushed President Barack Obama. Those were the judgments rendered across Twitter and Facebook Wednesday during the first debate of the 2012 presidential contest. While millions turned on their televisions to watch the 90-minute showdown, a smaller but highly engaged subset took to social networks to discuss and score the debate as it unspooled in real time. Until recently, debate watchers would have waited through the entire broadcast to hear analysis and reaction from a small cadre of television pundits. Social media has democratized the commentary, giving voice to a far wider range of participants who can shape the narrative long before the candidates reach their closing statements. “People still use old media to watch the debates, but they use social networks and other new media to have influence, voice opinions and be involved,” said Scott Talan, an assistant professor of communication at American University who studies social media and politics. “Old
media is not dead; it’s growing. But now we have more people involved and engaged because of digital means.” The political conversation plays out across a range of social platforms, especially on the industry giant Facebook and on Twitter, the social networking hub where opinions are shared through 140-character comments known as tweets. Reflecting the changing times, many television analysts now monitor Twitter and Facebook feeds and use information gleaned from those platforms to inform their punditry. Twitter announced shortly after Wednesday’s debate that it had been the most tweeted event in U.S. political history, topping this year’s Republican and Democratic National Conventions. With 11.1 million comments, Wednesday’s debate was the fourth most-tweeted telecast of any kind, coming in just behind the most recent Grammy awards, MTV’s Video Music Awards and the Super Bowl, according to William Powers, director of The Crowdwire, an election project of Bluefin Labs, a social analytics firm. It was far higher than the previous political record holder: the third night of the Democratic National Convention in September, which drew 2.5 million comments.
Study: Free birth control leads to fewer abortions WASHINGTON (AP) — Free birth control led to dramatically lower rates of abortions and teen births, a large study concluded Thursday, offering strong evidence for how a bitterly contested Obama administration policy could benefit women’s health. The project tracked more than 9,000 women in St. Louis, many of them poor or uninsured. They were given their choice of a range of contraceptive methods at no cost — from birth control pills to goof-proof options like the IUD or a matchstick-sized implant. When price wasn’t an issue, women flocked to the most effective contraceptives — the implanted options, which typically cost hundreds of dollars upfront to insert. These women ex-
perienced far fewer unintended pregnancies as a result, reported Dr. Jeffrey Peipert of Washington University in St. Louis in a study published Thursday. The effect on teen pregnancy was striking: There were 6.3 births per 1,000 teenagers in the study. Compare that to a national rate of 34 births per 1,000 teens in 2010. There also were substantially lower rates of abortion, when compared with women in the metro area and nationally: 4.4 to 7.5 abortions per 1,000 women in the study, compared with 13.4 to 17 abortions per 1,000 women overall in the St. Louis region, Peipert calculated. That’s lower than the national rate, too, which is almost 20 abortions per 1,000 women.

A SYRIAN MAN cries in a hallway of the Dar El Shifa hospital in Aleppo, Syria, after his daughter was hit during a Syrian Air Force strike over a school where hundreds of refugees had taken shelter Thursday. The border violence between Turkey and Syria has added a dangerous new dimension to Syria’s civil war, dragging Syria’s neighbors deeper into a conflict that activists say has already killed 30,000 people since an uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime began in March 2011.
U.N. condemns Syrian shelling of Turkey BY EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council overcame deep divisions to unanimously approve a statement Thursday condemning Syria’s shelling of a Turkish town that killed five women and children “in the strongest terms.” Council members managed to bridge differences between the strong statement demanded by the United States and its Western supporters and backed by their NATO ally Turkey, and a weaker text pushed by Russia, Syria’s most important ally, after negotiations that began late Wednesday and continued through Thursday. In the press statement, which needed approval from all 15 council members, the U.N.’s most powerful body said the incident “highlighted the grave impact the crisis in Syria has on the security of its neighbors and on regional peace and stability.” It also extended condolences to the families of the victims
and to the government and people of Turkey. The council demanded an immediate end to such violations of international law and called on the Syrian government “to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors.” Earlier Thursday, Syria’s U.N. envoy said his government is not seeking any escalation of violence with Turkey and wants to maintain good neighborly relations. Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari said the government hasn’t apologized for the shelling from Syria because it is waiting for the outcome of an investigation on the source of the firing. He read reporters a letter he delivered to the Security Council that sent Syria’s “deepest condolences” to the families of the victims “and to the friendly and brotherly people of Turkey.” It urged Turkey and its other neighbors to “act wisely, rationally and responsibly” and to prevent cross-border infiltration of “terrorists and insurgents” and the smuggling of arms.

Though the name has changed, the goal of the market remains the same as before, said the Rev.

My drawings still reflect that attention to detail that I used to express in my paintings, but even they have changed over the years to reflect a more simple composition with an emphasis on line, texture and shadow.” The exhibit is open to the public throughout October during regular library hours.

The Lehman Catholic High School Journalism class recently attended a workshop presented by the Josten’s Co. at Stebbins High School. Eric Howard, Lehman’s Josten’s representative, and Donny Boyd, another Josten’s representative, co-hosted the workshop for yearbook staffs. The workshop was titled “Good Decisions.” speaker, John The Cutsinger of Josten’s, challenged the students to make good decisions from start to finish in planning their 2013 yearbook designs. He remarked that design should be content-driven and that the planning process requires careful attention to details so that the chosen theme is carried consistently throughout the publication. He used a PowerPoint presentation with samples from awardwinning yearbooks to illustrate his ideas about concept, story angles, photo use and coverage.

The Broken Chain
Becky Grillot
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Good spinal health starts at a young age Just like all other good habits in life, good spinal health starts when we are children. And as we all know, healthy attitudes and behaviours are best learned at an early age. That’s why chiropractors are increasing their efforts to educate youth on this aspect of their health by providing as much information and advice as possible. So why wait until complications arise before consulting a specialist? A visit to your chiropractor can teach your children how to prevent the types of back problems that are so prevalent among adults. Steps as simple as not crossing your legs or not sleeping on your stomach can make a world of difference over the long-run. Learning to lift properly with your legs by bending at the knees rather than letting your back bear all the weight is another valuable lesson that even young children can immediately benefit from. More global aspects can also be addressed during a preventative appointment so that little ones can understand that their body needs to be handled carefully

MISTI JANE Spillman kneels at the gravesite of Timothy Wales, who fought at the Battle of Valley Forge during the American Revolution. helped Spillman to verify that Timothy Wales was buried there under that eroded marker. She had also made use of grave maps and other records available at the Shelby County Historical Center. Further evidence was found when she used some records provided by the Shelby County Genealogical Society. Wales was not a native of Ohio. He was born of Welsh Quaker lineage in 1733 and came here from Pennsylvania. Prior to coming to Shelby County, Wales had married a woman named Elizabeth Broyl, who had been a resident of Madison, Va. Wales had been given a tract of land in Jackson Township in reward for his service to the fledgling nation. The Waleses had two sons, Timothy and Thomas. Spillman is a graduate of Wright State University with a degree in archeology. She also earned a master’s degree in history and is currently an AmeriCorps participant working at the Ohio Historical Society near Columbus. Spillman had lived in nearby Montra until going to college. The Jackson center High School graduate would visit Howell Cemetery out of curiosity and a desire to learn. One mystery being researched by Spillman is the state of poverty in which Wales died. When he was put to rest in 1825, another veteran donated a suit in which Wales was buried. A military funeral was con-
ducted, complete with men playing a fife and drum. Spillman hopes that any descendants of Wales will contact her, so that permission can be obtained to have a new marker placed at his grave. She also welcomes any other information about Wales, and donations for the marker she hopes will eventually be in place. She can be reached by email at spillman.4@wright.edu, or by phone at (937) 4891369. Spillman notes that the other Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Shelby County are: Lewis Boyer, James Cannon, Ezra Carey, Zachariah Cecil, reverend William A. Davis, Peter L. Hall, John Line, Joseph Line, Thomas A. Shaw, Joshua Stevens, Samuel Woodward, and Colonel John Hardin, after whom the village of Hardin was named. Spillman found that the Howell Cemetery is the resting place of two Civil War soldiers as well as a veteran from the War of 1812. She plans to keep on searching for a Wales descendent. Her current assignment is to put together a “tool kit” for people to use while researching veterans or obtaining grave markers for veterans resting in unmarked graves. She is also searching for a cemetery to restore in the Columbus area. She would also like to conduct a workshop for people interested in doing such research projects.

MONTRA — “He was there at the beginning of our country. I think at the very least, he should have a stone.” That is the conviction that drives Misti Jane Spillman to honor the resting place of a man who is part of our national history. Spillman, a native of Montra, is a student of history and archeology, and is doing a little bit of detective work along the way as well. As an historian, Spillman found the grave with the remnant of a marker to be interesting. She did not know at the time that this was the final resting place of a Revolutionary War solder, let alone a veteran of Valley Forge. Howell Cemetery is located on Montra Road, just outside the village. Spillman lived nearby and always found that the old cemetery was interesting. One of the grave markers that caught her attention was one that was worn and weathered down to a small stone that provided nothing but a mystery. However, there lie the remains of one of the 13 Revolutionary War soldiers known by Spillman to be buried in Shelby County. While each of these men’s lives involved interesting bits of history, the life of Timothy Wales had some special twists and turns. Research indicated that Wales actually served with Gen. George Washington at the Battle of Valley Forge. Information obtained by Spillman reveals that Wales joined the Continental Army at the age of 17, and he served during the course of the entire war, eventually earning the rank of lieutenant. For a graduate school assignment, Spillman has done much research on the man buried at Howell Cemetery. She has also received assistance from Ed Ball of the Shelby County Veterans Services office and another researcher named Robert Little. Records kept by the Daughters of the American Revolution indicated the likely location of the Wales burial at the Howell Cemetery. That

For those unable to withstand the rigors of surgery, catheter replacement is the better choice. Why not discuss this matter with the surgeon who has been chosen to perform the operation? You’ll hear both sides of the story. As for your fear of an error in judging the size of the valve in the catheter procedure, exact dimensions are obtained by ultrasound pictures of the aortic valve area before either
procedure is done. DEAR DRS. DONOHUE AND ROACH: Please provide me information about alopecia areata. — D.S. ANSWER: Alopecia areata is a scalp condition in which round patches of baldness appear on the scalp. They may also appear in other places, like the eyebrows. It’s due to an immune attack by the body on its own hair follicles. No one is sure what prompts the attack. A few people have a spontaneous regrowth of hair in a matter of months. Others have regrowth in one to two years, or longer. Injecting the bald spots with a cortisone drug often prompts a return of hair. Other treatments are available if the cortisone treatment fails.

To ease your conscience, your “conflict” can be your plan to watch your favorite “I Love Lucy” rerun on TV. DEAR ABBY: I’m wondering what I should do when my biological father dies. He and my mother divorced before I was born. I’ve had little contact with him, but my older sister and brother lived with him growing up and are close to him. My mother died 20 years ago, and afterward I tried to get to know him, but he didn’t want to know me. He never paid child support. Both he and my mother re-
married. I was fortunate to have a loving stepfather, and I was very close to him until his death. When the time comes, I am considering not going to my birth father’s funeral. I have not told my sister how I feel because she thinks he is the greatest. I think he is a dirt ball. What do you advise, under these circumstances? — CONFUSED IN SIOUX CITY DEAR CONFUSED: Funerals are for the living. Go to his funeral and give your siblings the emotional support they will need. I understand why you feel the way you do, but in this situation, it would be an act of kindness to keep your true feelings to yourself.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Playoff-bound clubs faced plenty of bumps, bruises BY JANIE MCCAULEY AP Baseball Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a perfect playoff world, Stephen Strasburg might be on the mound in the nation’s capital, Mariano Rivera closing it out in the Bronx and Melky Cabrera delivering a timely hit by the bay. Bartolo Colon would be starting for Oakland, Ryan Madson pitching the ninth in Cincinnati. Call this the depleted postseason. American League, National League, the division winners and the wild cards, almost every club headed to the playoffs has dealt with a devastating loss of some sort. Workload, injuries and performance-enhancing drugs — there are all kinds of reasons teams are playing several men down.
Many are left saying ouch in October as the new-look playoffs begin. The Bay Area took the biggest hit — with a long list of absent players on the Giants and Athletics. Each club moved forward seemingly unfazed, with San Francisco winning its second NL West title in three years and Oakland capturing the AL West crown on the regular season’s final day against the two-time reigning AL champion Texas Rangers. “Twenty-nine teams are going to finish with a loss, and I’d say the No. 1 reason is health, which makes it more spectacular where we are,” Oakland’s Jonny Gomes said. Both teams also lost a key player because of PEDs, both to positive testosterone tests exactly one week apart. First it was Cabrera on Aug. 15, then Colon on Aug. 22.
“I think every team, when something like that happens, they try to make a statement, to bring the best they can bring, because they still have a job to do,” Giants center fielder Angel Pagan said. “And it’s about believing if you have enough, too. All these teams, they believe that they can get it done. They have enough to go out there and compete and win. That was our mentality since Day 1. We knew that we didn’t have our closer, but we also knew that we had a great bullpen.” Ending Strasburg’s season early was a front-office decision. Washington made the call to shut down its prized pitcher based on workload after 159 1-3 innings and a 15-6 record. Since early May, the New York Yankees have coped without career saves leader Rivera, who underwent
right knee surgery in June. Cabrera tested positive for testosterone and received a 50-game suspension in midAugust. The Giants since decided not to bring him back at all in the postseason if they’re still playing when he’s eligible — happy with the current roster and certain their public image would take another hit because of PEDs. Cincinnati missed Madson, who’s out for the year with a torn ligament in his elbow, and fellow relievers Nick Masset and Bill Bray also were lost before the year began. Even manager Dusty Baker spent a stint away from the team for 11 games — including the NL Central clincher and Homer Bailey’s no-hitter recently while healing from a mini-stroke and irregular heartbeat.

Russia finishes third at district tourney BY ROB KISER Civitas Media rkiser@dailycall.com WEST MIDDLETOWN — Russia coach Paul Bremigan had been there before in the Division III district tournament. But, he knows sooner or later the Raiders will knock the state tournament door down. Russia finished third with a 340 total, with just two teams advancing on to state. “We have been third a lot,” Bremigan said. “But, this is our sixth straight year at district. It shows us we are doing the right things and eventually, we are going to make it to state.” Russia scores included Austin Tebbe 82, Treg Francis 83, Luke Dapore 87, Zach Sherman 88, Bryce Dues 94. The Raiders shot 165 on the Meadows nine and were just two shots out of first. But, the Raiders score went up on the Valley View nine. “I don’t know that there is any one reason why,” Bremigan said. “We just didn’t play as well the second nine. That happens.” Lehman’s John Copella got off to a good start with a 38 on the Meadows nine, but he came in with a 45 for 83, that included a double and a triple on the Valley View nine.

He was one over par after eight holes, but the big holes cost him.” Botkins finsihed sixth with a
363 total. Trojans scores were Mick Gruley 88, Cory Kies 90, Connor bornhorst 92, Roger Miller 93, Nate Cisco 101. Fairlawn finished eighth with a 376 total. Jet scores were Anthony

Fort Loramie stays in first in SCL volleyball action BOTKINS — After moving into first place in the Shelby County League volleyball standings on Tuesday, Fort Loramie maintained that lead with a 25-11, 25-17, 25-8 win over Botkins here Thursday night. The Redskins improve to 9-1 in the league and 164 overall. Botkins is now 7-13 and 1-9.

For sheer drama, there’s nothing quite like a one-game, winner-take-all scenario — and that’s about to become a lot less rare in baseball with the debut of a new postseason format this year. The two wild cards in each league play Friday to determine which teams advance to the division series. Until this year, one-game playoffs occurred only if there was a tie in the regular season that needed to be broken — and even then, the format wasn’t always the same. For example, Bobby Thomson’s famous “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” in 1951 that gave the New York Giants the National League pennant was in the deciding game of a best-ofthree tiebreaker against the Brooklyn Dodgers. There have been nine onegame playoffs in major league history. Here’s a look back at each: OCT. 4, 1948. CLEVELAND 8, BOSTON 3. FOR THE AL PENNANT. The Indians went to Fenway Park and defeated the Red Sox to advance to the World Series, where they beat another Boston team — the Braves — in six games. Cleveland hasn’t won a World Series since. OCT. 2, 1978. NEW YORK 5, BOSTON 4. FOR THE AL EAST TITLE. Two words: Bucky Dent. The Yankees were 14 games behind the Red Sox in July, but in the end it was Boston that needed to win eight in a row just to force this playoff. Dent’s three-run homer over the Green Monster in the seventh put New York ahead 3-2, and the Yankees never trailed again. It was only Dent’s fifth homer of the season. OCT. 6, 1980. HOUSTON 7, LOS ANGELES 1. FOR THE NL WEST TITLE. The Dodgers took three in a row from the Astros in the final series of the regular season to knot things up atop the division, but they fell short in this tiebreaker.

From Page 1 Texas trudged along after starter Neftali Feliz underwent elbow-ligament replacement surgery this summer and without former postseason star Colby Lewis. Then, there’s 2011 World Series star Lance Berkman of St. Louis recovering from his second knee surgery of the season Sept. 11, and long-gone Tigers All-Star Victor Martinez healing from his own knee operation. The Yankees won the AL East and earned the AL’s No. 1 seed with a rout of the rival Red Sox in Game 162, but might have been in a far more favorable position and resting the regulars with Rivera still around. “It’s hard to say. You don’t know where you would be at,” manager Joe Girardi said. “Injuries are hard to predict, when you’re going to have them and how you overcome them and what the guys do. … Obviously we’re all a little bit curious, but I don’t think it’s anything you can predict. But it does seem like we’re getting healthier.” Baltimore manager Buck Showalter lost three leadoff hitters to injury. Nolan Reimold and Brian Roberts both underwent season-ending surgery, and Nick Markakis broke his left thumb last month when hit by a pitch from New York’s CC Sabathia. “It’s probably as good a team as I’ve ever had at staying in the moment,” Showalter said. The Braves lost starter Brandon Beachy, who was tied for the best ERA in the majors when he went down in June and underwent Tommy John surgery. Strasburg’s last start came on Sept. 7, when he lasted only three innings and allowed five earned runs against Miami. While the Nationals were expected to let him pitch one more time, he was shut down the following day. He was out on the field, celebrating with teammates on Monday night, when the Nationals clinched the NL East title. Strasburg sported his white uniform pants yanked up to his knees and flip-flops, saying, “Just a great feeling, to be a part of this.” “We’re not here without Stephen,” Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said. “He’s the No. 1 starter on the team with the best record in baseball and the National League East champs, so he’s a huge part of what’s going on here and will be for a long time to come.” In San Francisco, the Giants lost All-Star game MVP Cabrera to the 50game drug suspension after already playing without All-Star closer and 2010 major league saves leader Brian Wilson since he underwent Tommy John surgery in April. “The dynamic hasn’t changed. It shows a team’s character and how resilient they are with taking a loss like that,” Wilson said. “The system is what works here, no single player is the reason. You can take key player out but the system works because we all pull for each other and we all play for one common goal.”
against Houston. In the playoff, the Dodgers sent Dave Goltz to the mound against Joe Niekro, and it was no contest. OCT. 2, 1995. SEATTLE 9, CALIFORNIA 1. FOR THE AL WEST TITLE. This rout capped a 1226 collapse down the stretch that cost the Angels the division and a playoff shot. Randy Johnson tossed a three-hitter for the Mariners in the playoff and struck out 12. California started Mark Langston, which was noteworthy because Seattle acquired Johnson in 1989 when it traded Langston to Montreal. SEPT. 28, 1998. CHICAGO 5, SAN FRANCISCO 3. FOR THE NL WILD CARD. Sammy Sosa’s 66homer season ended with a postseason berth, in part because he had two hits and scored twice in this win over the Giants. Down 5-1 in the ninth, San Francisco actually got Barry Bonds to the plate with the bases loaded and nobody out, but he was held to a sacrifice fly and Jeff Kent followed by hitting into a forceout as the Cubs held on. OCT. 4, 1999. NEW YORK 5, CINCINNATI 0. FOR THE NL WILD CARD. The Mets lost seven straight in late September but steadied themselves in time to force this showdown with the Reds. Al Leiter took it from there, allowing only two hits in a 135-pitch shutout. OCT. 1, 2007. COLORADO 9, SAN DIEGO 8 IN 13 INNINGS. FOR THE NL WILD CARD. This was perhaps the improbable most tiebreaker because the Rockies needed to go on a

New Browns owner not planning immediate changes BEREA (AP) — Jimmy Haslam III won’t spend his first days as owner of the Browns handing out pink slips. Haslam, whose $1 billion purchase of Cleveland’s franchise is expected to be approved by NFL owners later this month, said Thursday a team through spokesman that he has no plans to make any personnel changes “until after the year.” At 0-4, the Browns are the only winless team in the AFC, leading to speculation that coach Pat Shurmur and his staff could be in trouble unless there’s a turnaround. But during an interview with Fox Business, Haslam noted the Browns’ youth — they’re the league’s youngest team — and said he believes the team is improv-
ing under Shurmur and team president Mike Holmgren. “I don’t think anybody thinks 0-4 (is acceptable) and certainly Mike Holmgren and Pat Shurmur don’t think it is and we don’t think it is,” Haslam said in the interview. “But we’ve got a young team. We’re building. I think we’re heading in the right direction. We don’t officially own the team yet and we’ve said all along that we’re not going to make any comments on personnel until after we own the team. That’s in about two weeks. “And candidly we’ll be halfway through the football season then, so any personnel decisions we’d make would be toward the end of the year.” Haslam, a former minority owner of the Pitts-
burgh Steelers, has spent the past few weeks familiarizing himself with the Browns. He has been at several practices and was on the field before Thursday’s workout speaking with Shurmur, who is just 4-16 in two seasons. The Browns have lost 10 straight games dating to last season and will visit the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants (2-2) on Sunday. The Browns’ sale will be approved by owners at their Oct. 16 meeting in Chicago. Haslam, who built his fortune with Pilot Flying J truck stops, will attend the session along with Holmgren, who is in the third year of a five-year contract he signed under owner Randy Lerner. Holmgren has said he intends to fulfill his contract.

Anna, however, tied it at the 21:37 mark as Kayla Blankenship converted on a penalty kick and the game remained tied the rest of the way. Keirstyn Rogers recorded nine saves for Botkins while Heather Brown had 18 steals, Caitlin Lane 14 and Shelby Boyd 12.

13-1 tear just to pull even with the Padres. The playoff was more of the same. San Diego scored twice in the top of the 13th, but Trevor Hoffman got only one out in the bottom half — and that was on Jamey Carroll’s game-winning sacrifice fly. Replays were inconclusive on whether Matt Holliday actually touched the plate while scoring the winning run, but he was called safe.

Both teams scored a run in the 10th inning of the playoff, but Detroit left fielder Ryan Raburn threw out Alexi Casilla at the plate to send it to the 11th. The Tigers thought they’d taken the lead in the 12th, but with the bases loaded, plate umpire Randy Marsh ruled that Brandon Inge was not hit by a pitch from Bobby Keppel. The replay appeared to show the pitch grazing Inge’s billowing uniform. The game remained tied, and Casilla drove in the winning run with a single in the bottom of the inning.

Quincy Enunwa’s 16 catches lead Nebraska, but Kenny Bell (15 catches, 330 Advantage: Ohio State yards, 4 TDs) has been the most productive pass catcher for the Cornhuskers. Advantage: Ohio State
OFFENSIVE LINE OSU coach Urban Meyer says he really likes the Buckeyes’ top five offensive linemen but he sees a significant gap between the starters and their backups. The line played its best game of the season at Michigan State and dominated the Spartans’ defense when Ohio State ran out the last four minutes of the game without having to punt. Nebraska leads the Big Ten in scoring, total offense and rushing. Guards Spencer Long and Seung Hoon Choi and tackle Jeremiah Serles are two-year starters. Advantage: Nebraska
DEFENSIVE LINE Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and ends John Simon and Nathan Williams led the way when Ohio State held Michigan State’s Le’Veon Bell to 45 yards on 17 carries. Michael Bennett, who was expected to start this season, got into a game for the first time after being sidelined by a groin injury. OSU and Nebraska are tied for the Big Ten lead in sacks (5). The Cornhuskers, who were shredded for 344 yards rushing in their only loss, 36-30 to UCLA, limited Wisconsin to 60 yards on the ground in a come-from-behind 30-27 win last week. End Cameron Meredith and tackle Baker Steinkuhler are three-year starters and end Eric Martin has 3.5 sacks this season. Advantage: Ohio State
LINEBACKERS
JOHN SIMON The 6-foot-2, 263-pound senior defensive lineman from Youngstown has helped Ohio State hold opposing offenses to 100.8 yards rushing per game. The Buckeyes are tied for first in the Big Ten in quarterback sacks with five. Simon has a sack and 2.5 tackles for losses.
RUNNING BACKS With Jordan Hall expected to be out with a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee, backfield depth is a question for Ohio State. Carlos Hyde, who rushed for 49 yards in a 17-16 win over Michigan State last week, is the only proven back the Buckeyes have. Hall’s absence also leaves Ohio State looking for a big-play threat other than Miller in the backfield. For Nebraska, Rex Burkhead (273 yards on 29 carries) rushed for 1,357 yards last season but has started slowly this year after missing two games with a knee injury. Ameer Abdullah (486 yards, 5 touchdowns) has emerged as the top running threat. Advantage: Nebraska
Etienne Sabino had eight tackles and a sack at Michigan State and Ryan Shazier was singled out by Meyer for his improvement in recent games. Middle linebacker remains a question, with neither Storm Klein or Curtis Grant producing what OSU is looking for at that position. Nebraska’s Will Compton leads the team in tackles (44) and has six tackles for losses. Three of those tackles for loss came against Wisconsin. Like Ohio State, the Cornhuskers have played two linebackers most of the season because they’ve faced few traditional offenses. Advantage: Even
DEFENSIVE BACKS Bradley Roby came back strong against Michigan State after sitting out the UAB game with a shoulder injury. Safety C.J. Barnett, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, is expected to return. OSU is tied for second in the Big Ten in interceptions with seven. Nebraska has only three. But the Buckeyes rank eleventh in the Big Ten in pass defense and Nebraska is fourth, but the Cornhuskers have allowed seven passing TDs, compared to five for Ohio State. Advantage: Even

COLUMBUS — The answer Ohio State linebacker Etienne Sabino gave was exactly what you would expect. Asked how surrendering a 21-point lead and losing 34-27 to Nebraska last season would affect him when Ohio State plays the Cornhuskers on Saturday night at Ohio Stadium, he said, “Last year was last year. I’m not going to forget it but I’m not going to dwell on it.” Football players and coaches always tell you the past doesn’t matter. Until it matters. Nebraska came from 17 points down to beat Wisconsin last Saturday night. And OSU defensive line coach Mike Vrabel has no doubts they were thinking about last year’s Ohio State game. “I’m sure they drew on last year’s Ohio State game at some point in time. Bo Pelini said, ‘Guys we were in this spot against Ohio State, same stadium, same time of night and this is what we did.’ As a player you can say, ‘Yeah coach, you’re right,’” Vrabel said. So, if the past is not really in the past, what are the games in the last 20 years the current or former Ohio State players probably would most like to have a chance to do over? Here’s my list: 1. Ohio State-Michigan 1995. If Ohio State had won, it would have gone to the Rose Bowl and had a shot at a national championship. Instead, the Wolverines won 31-23 in Ann Arbor. Also, surrendering a school-record 317 yards rushing to Tshimanga Biakabutuka still stings. 2. Ohio State-Michigan State 1998. The stunner against which all stunners since then have been measured. If OSU — which led by 15 points in the second half at home — had won, a national championship was within reach. But Michigan State, a sub-.500 team, shocked the unbeaten Buckeyes 28-24. 3. Ohio State-Florida 2006. SEC. Gator Chomp. 41-14. Florida upsets No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS title game. Who knew Urban Meyer would be on the other side just five years later? 4. Ohio State-Michigan 1996. OSU’s offense couldn’t score touchdowns. Shawn Springs slipped. John Cooper changed starting quarterbacks with an unbeaten record. Another national championship dream ended in a 13-9 Michigan win. 5. Ohio State-Penn State 2005. Losing to Texas earlier in the season might not have sunk the Buckeyes’ BCS championship hopes but this 17-10 loss did.
