Many Americans have throwback Fourth Some had to celebrate the holiday without power
Rohr writes book on Joplin service Former Piqua City Manager R. Mark Rohr, who served the Piqua community from 1998 to 2003, recently wrote a book regarding his experience as city manager of Joplin, Mo., in the aftermath of a fierce EF-5 tornado that tore through Joplin on May 22, 2011. Entitled “Joplin: The Miracle of the Human Spirit” and available through Barnes and Noble and Amazon, the 260-page book catalogues what Rohr has designated as the true miracle of the human spirit. It covers the first six months following the tragedy from Rohr’s unique perspective.
MOUNT VERNON, Va. (AP) — George Washington never had air conditioning, but he knew how to keep cool: a mansion with lots of windows elevated on the banks of a wide, rolling river and lots of ice cream, maybe with a little brandy. It was a little like the old days without electricity Wednesday, as the nation’s capital region celebrated Independence Day the better part of a week into a widespread blackout that left millions
of residents sweltering in 90-plus degree heat without air conditioning. Utilities have slowly been restoring service knocked out by a freak storm Friday from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic, and at least 26 people have died in the storm or its aftermath. At George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate, one of the most popular Fourth of July attractions was a demonstration of 18th-century ice cream making, one of
Washington’s favorite desserts. Historical interpreters Gail Cassidy and Anette Ahrens showed the crowds how cocoa beans were roasted and ground into a paste for chocolate ice cream, made using ice hauled up in massive blocks from the Potomac River and stored underground to last as long into the summer as possible. As for beverages, Washington was no stranger to alcohol, enjoy-
ing imported Madeira wine from Portugal, distilling his own whiskey and enjoying a fruity brandy cocktail called Cherry Bounce. Washington was his own architect at Mount Vernon, “and he was very good at it,” said Dennis Pogue, associate director for preservation at Mount Vernon. The piazza, which runs the length of the mansion, is “kind of California living in the 18th century,” Pogue said.

With a new software system in the works, TroyMiami County Public Library will have to revert back to the “old-school” way of doing business. According to library director Rachelle Miller, the new computer system will have an “Amazon.com” type of feel, but will render the current system offline from July 7 through July 12. “We won’t be able to look up accounts during this time frame — we’ll be old-school for a week,” Miller said. The new online catalog system is expected to go live on July 12. From July 7-12, patrons will need to have their library card in order to check anything out, so now is the time to stop by the library for a free replacement if necessary. “We are all still learning this new system — it’s a great system, but it will take a little while to get used to,” Miller said. “It will have an Amazon feel to it and is very user friendly.” Miller said Polaris, the new catalog, offers many of the same self-service features such as the ability to renew online, request material, and search or browse the catalog for a particular author, keyword, series, and title in addition to many new features. The Polaris system will allow patrons to take more control of their library account. Patrons can choose to save your searches and receive a monthly email notice when new titles come in.

The location, atop a sloping hill along the Potomac, catches cool breezes. Lots of windows and shutters allow for the regulation of sun and wind. And the distinctive cupola on the mansion roof serves as the mansion’s air conditioning unit, funneling hot air out the top and drawing cooler air in at the ground level. Visitors on Wednesday gathered on the mansion’s back porch, a piazza overlooking the Potomac where breezes rolled through. “It feels good out here. It’s the same thing we do in Texas,� said Chris Moore of Austin, Texas, sitting with his wife, Dina. The two had come to Virginia to see their son graduate from officer training at The Basic School at Quantico Marine Corps Base. Moore said he opted for the smaller crowds at Mount Vernon as opposed to the massive Fourth of July Celebration on the National Mall because it afforded a better place to relax and contemplate the founding of the nation, especially since Mount Vernon on Wednesday hosted a naturalization ceremony for 100 new citizens from 47 different countries. “This place is incredible. It’s just the kind of place that people need to see,� he said, noting the divided nature of the country’s current politics. “We all need to step back and look at where we started.� Up the river in Washington, President Barack Obama also

Military families were invited for a barbecue and to watch fireworks on the South Lawn. Obama said the varied backgrounds of those taking the oath typified America’s long tradition of welcoming immigrants from around the world to its shores. “Unless you are one of the first Americans, a native American, we are all descended from folks who came from somewhere else,� he said. “The story of immigrants in America isn’t a story of them.

trail with his family in in Wolfeboro, N.H., but took time Wednesday to march in the town’s Fourth of July parade. In New York, about a dozen disabled soldiers — most triple or quadruple amputees — visited ground zero ahead of the usual throng of tourists. The visit was intended to salute service members who survived the post-9/11 wars to become miracles of modern medicine, and to promote two charities raising money for homes custom-built to ease their burdens. On Coney Island, Joey Chestnut ate his way to a sixth straight win at the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, tying his personal best in a sweaty, gag-inducing spectacle.
AP survey: Next president faces high unemployment WASHINGTON (AP) — A majority of economists in the latest Associated Press Economy Survey expect the national unemployment rate to stay above 6 percent — the upper bounds of what’s considered healthy — for at least four more years. If the economists are correct, the job market will still be unhealthy seven years after the Great Recession

officially ended in June 2009. That would be the longest stretch of high unemployment since the end of World War II. And it means the job market and the economy — President Barack Obama’s main political threats — would remain big challenges in either a second Obama term or President Mitt Romney’s first term. “The election isn’t going to be a miracle cure for the unemployment rate — that’s for sure,� says Sean Snaith, an economics professor at the University of Central Florida. He thinks unemployment, which is 8.2 percent now, won’t drop back to 6 percent until after 2016. Economists consider a “normal� level to be between 5 percent and 6 percent. The economists surveyed by the AP foresee an unemployment rate of 8 percent on Election Day. That would be the highest rate any postwar president running for re-election has faced. The survey results come
before the government reports Friday on hiring during June. Fears about the economy escalated after U.S. employers added just 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year and the third straight month of weak job growth. The AP survey collected the views late last month from 32 private, corporate and academic economists on a range of issues. Among their views: — The economy will continue to grow only slowly. The average forecast for the April-June period is that GDP grew at an annual rate of 2 percent. That’s down from a 2.4 percent forecast in April. The economists think the rate in the final six months of the year will be just 2.3 percent. That’s too weak to bring the unemployment rate down. — Monthly job gains will average 139,000 the rest of this year — barely enough to keep up with population growth and prevent unemployment from worsening.
The 28-year-old nicknamed “Jaws� scarfed down 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes in the sweltering summer heat to take home $10,000 and the mustard-yellow belt. The city’s celebration was expected to be capped with the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks show off Manhattan later in the night, with 40,000 aerial shells will be launched from five barges. Many Americans abandoned their holiday plans after going without power from violent storms that hit Friday across the MidAtlantic and Midwest. Jeanette Oliver had planned to have her relatives over to her Vineland, N.J., home, but the ongoing power outage forced her to change those plans on the fly this week. “They had been saying most people would have (electrical) service back by Wednesday, but we didn’t want to risk having a big party in a home where you couldn’t turn on the air conditioning, you couldn’t turn on a TV or a computer,� Oliver said outside a supermarket early Wednesday. “Several people in our family are elderly, and you don’t want them suffering with the heat and being uncomfortable.� Sarah Lenkay and her roommates, who lost power in Columbus, Ohio, Friday evening, didn’t have power back until around midnight Wednesday. They weren’t too excited about the holiday, because the last few days have been so miserable.

Miller said during the transition, library patrons must have a library card to check out materials. Miller said E-books should function as usual, but users may experience a few technical glitches during the service transition. To ensure a smooth migration, library patrons will experience temporary service interruptions: New requests to reserve materials, or for materials to be sent from one location to another will not be accepted July 7-11.
We will be unable to add new materials to the collection during this time. Online catalog functions are expected to be unavailable from July 711.

Governor John Kasich established the Executive Workforce Board on Feb. 9 through an executive order. As a member of the panel, Beagle will play a role in advising the governor and the Office BEAGLE of Workforce Transformation regarding the development, implementation and continuous improvement of Ohio’s workforce system. “Our region has seen no shortage of success lately in terms of economic expansion,� Beagle said. “However, business leaders throughout the Miami Valley are still struggling to find qualified skilled workers to fill open jobs. In order to connect employers with job-seeking Ohioans, we must revamp our state’s workforce development efforts.� In addition to state lawmakers, various representatives from state agencies and Ohio’s business community will serve on the board.

Aviation excitement to return to Dayton Blue Angels lead list of featured performers BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com It isn’t always easy, but year after year, organizers of the Vectren Dayton Air Show put in countless hours of preparation to ensure a weekend of aircraft excitement. Visitors to this weekend’s air show — set for Saturday and Sunday at the Dayton International Airport — will get to see the fruits of that labor. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration team will be the featured act in a lineup that includes aerobatic pilots, parachute teams, historical reenactments and a wide variety of family-friendly, aviation-related displays and activities. “Dayton has a fascination with flight and, even though we’re going into our 38th year, the challenge is still to come up with something new and fresh every year,” said Dayton Air Show General Manager Brenda Kerfoot. “Pretty much every year, we’ve been able to do that. It’s a once-a-year opportunity to be face-to-face with these world

People hold their breath when they watch them fly,” she said. “You have these massive jets flying hundreds of miles per hour, and sometimes they’re only 18 inches apart. The skill, precision and energy they bring to a show is breathtaking.” In addition to the Blue Angels, Kerfoot pointed out several highlights for this year’s show, ranging from new attractions to returning favorites. “Michael Goulian is one of the top aerobatic pilots in the world. He’s been here before,

The Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team, shown performing at the 2010 Vectren Dayton Air Show, will return to Dayton this weekend for the 2012 air show. but it’s been about 10 years and he’s in a completely different aircraft,” she said. “So, for all intents and purposes, this is a new act. He’ll do some amazing things in his aircraft and he’s going to be a real treat for people who are looking for that ‘onthe-edge, hard-flying’ kind of show.” Veteran air show performers Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes will bring the excitement of the barnstorming era to Dayton with their solo and windwalking performances, while Misty Blue
— the only all-woman skydiving team in the world — also will perform. “We still have some aircraft that have never appeared here in the air show,” Kerfoot explained. “The Air Force A-4B Skyhawk has never been here, and it’s an aircraft that has a lot of historical significance. It’s the type of aircraft that Sen. John McCain was shot down in during the Vietnam War. “We’ll also have some of the favorites that people love to see over and over again — Tora
Tora Tora — who are one of the most requested civilian acts we have. It truly is a history lesson right in front of you,” she added. Speaking of history, Major Theodore “Dutch” Van Kirk — the last surviving crewmember of the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, will be at the this year’s air show, while astronaut Greg Johnson — a native of Fairborn who flew on a space shuttle — will be on hand to sign autographs each day at the NASA Driven to Explore multi-media exhibit. “It’s difficult to get an astronaut here … and you’ll get a chance to be face-to-face with a guy who flew a space shuttle,” Kerfoot said. “There also is a moon rock on display,” she added, referring to a 3-billionyear-old lunar rock brought back by the crew of Apollo 17 in 1972. It is one of just eight lunar samples around the globe that people are permitted to touch. “There’s a lot of great entertainment, but there’s also a lot of opportunities to see what has made aviation great,” she added. “Even if you been to every single air show, there is something new for you to see every year.”

This undated image shows a recipe for agave-barbecue roasted chicken in Concord, N.H. So while it has the same calories as white sugar, you can use less of it without sacrificing flavor. When substituting, aim to use about 25 percent less than you would with refined sugar. Many consumers also have latched on to agave’s glycemic
appeal. That is a fancy way of saying that agave syrup is believed to have a less intense effect on blood sugar levels. When shopping for agave, check the grocer’s baking or honey sections, as well as the natural foods aisle. It usually is sold in squirt bottles. While
some companies offer flavored varieties, the most common choices are light and amber. Light agave syrup is highly filtered and lightly heated. Amber syrups are less filtered and heated slightly more. The latter also has a more robust flavor.
Make pulled pork a common treat (AP) — Pulled pork is a treat often reserved as an occasional indulgence. Which probably is good, since it tends to be made with some of the fattier pieces of pork, which then are smothered with a sugary sauce and piled on a white roll. Trouble is, we love pulled pork and we wanted a version we could feel good about enjoying a little more often. The first change we made was the cut of meat. We used pork tenderloin. It is a very lean cut of meat
that we simply boiled until tender in a flavorful broth. As for the sauce, we decided to do something a little out of the ordinary. We went with a tangy vinaigrette-style sauce. This allowed us to serve it warm or cold and mix in some crunchy raw vegetables to add some color and texture. Finally… the bun. We opted to skip that entirely. After all, the pork is the star. So we borrowed an Asian trick and serve it wrapped in bibb lettuce

THE AMISH COOK
(AP) — Finally… A way to enjoy agave without the hangover! That’s right, agave nectar — the current darling of the alternative sweetener world — is made from the same plant that is used to produce tequila. And it goes down so much easier (squeeze of lime and dash of salt are optional). But let’s start with some basics. Agave nectar (sometimes called agave syrup) is an amber liquid that resembles honey, but has a cleaner, sweeter, even fruitier flavor. Not long ago it was mostly unheard of in the U.S., existing primarily in the backwaters of the natural foods world. In recent years, it has evolved into a booming $200 million industry. Suddenly, it’s being used in everything from ketchup and barbecue sauce to baked goods and ice cream. And don’t even get me started about the cocktail scene. Why all this attention to what amounts to the juice of a large cactus-looking plant native to Mexico? It helps that agave syrup is sweeter than conventional sugar.

The Eichers are taking a needed break during this Fourth of July week. Thanks to all the readers for your kind words and prayers for the family during the tough year of 2012. This week features a few favorite summer recipes from columns past. The first is a great recipe to try on some of the fresh lettuce from the garden.

PERSPECTIVE

ANALYSIS
Scalia under fire for comments WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Antonin Scalia drew unusually critical attention during this past Supreme Court term for comments he made in court and in his writing that seemed to some more political than judicial. His dissent in the Arizona immigration case contained a harsh assessment of the Obama administration’s immigration policy and prompted a public rebuke from a fellow Republican-appointed judge. Scalia’s aggressive demeanor during argument sessions even earned him some gentle teasing from his closest personal friend on the court. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, speaking at a Washington convention, said the term’s high-profile cases may explain why Scalia “called counsel’s argument ‘extraordinary’ no fewer than 10 times.” The 76-year-old Scalia is a gifted writer with a razor wit and willingness to do battle with those on the other side of an issue. Those qualities have made him a powerful voice, an entertaining presence and a magnet for criticism on the court for more than 25 years. Even with that vivid background, some of Scalia’s recent remarks stood out in the eyes of court observers. Ten lawyers who appear regularly before the Supreme Court, including two former Scalia law clerks, were interviewed for this story and said they too had taken note of Scalia’s recent comments. But mindful that they might appear before the high court or be in a position to submit legal briefs, they all declined to be identified by name. Measured by wins and losses, the court term did not end well for Scalia. He was on the losing end of the court’s biggest cases involving health care, immigration, lying about military medals and prison sentences, both for crack cocaine offenders and juvenile killers. The last words Scalia uttered in court this term dealt with his disagreement with the court’s majority in a decision that watered down Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigrants. Summarizing his views in court, Scalia commented on President Barack Obama’s recent announcement changing the deportation rules for some children of illegal immigrants. And in his written opinion, he referenced anti-free-black laws of slave states as a precedent for state action on immigration. Both drew critical notice. “The president said at a news conference that the new program is ‘the right thing to do’ in light of Congress’ failure to pass the administration’s proposed revision of the Immigration Act. Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the Immigration Act that the president declines to enforce boggles the mind,” Scalia said. The outcry over his reference to Obama’s announcement was immediate and included a call by liberal Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne for Scalia to resign. Conservative Judge Richard Posner of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, contributed this passage to Slate magazine’s annual end-of-term discussion: “These are fighting words. The nation is in the midst of a hardfought presidential election campaign; the outcome is in doubt. Illegal immigration is a campaign issue. It wouldn’t surprise me if Justice Scalia’s opinion were quoted in campaign ads. The program that appalls Justice Scalia was announced almost two months after the oral argument in the Arizona case. It seems rather a belated development to figure in an opinion in the case,” wrote Posner, who had taken Scalia to task in the past.
LETTERS
Writer in favor of Obamacare plan To the Editor: This letter is in regard to “Obamacare.” I am in favor of better health insurance for all citizens of this country. I am ashamed of those who choose to be against something they seem to not understand. All we hear about is the opposition to the mandated penalty for those who deny coverage. Have any of the opposers actually read all this new law entails? Will they be so opposed when it is them sitting in the doctor’s office when they are told they are dying and their health care has capped their ability to have the treatments necessary? Or when their parents need medicine and can’t afford it? Or when their child is living with a life threatening
disease (as my daughter is) and are told there is no coverage for them? What then will all you naysayers think? In the 1980s we were forced by our government to wear seatbelts in a car we pay to maintain, repair and tag to drive. And then we were forced, again by our government, to carry insurance on our vehicles. Both of the examples are for our health and well being and carry penalties and fines if not followed. Do you opposed understand it is cheaper to give lower income people health care? That they are forced to use the ER as a means to care for themselves? And are you aware that up to 100 percent of these bills go unpaid? That leaving them uncovered will cause more to end up in nursing homes paid for by the state? This brings the cost up for all
those with health coverage. I would think all concerned would want more people covered, because more bills get paid and the costs all around would go down. Who wouldn’t benefit from that? Another point, do people realize that inmates on death row are allowed to have medical care? Someone who raped a child or murdered a mother has free health care as long as they are incarcerated. Why aren’t the opposers crying fowl about that? You will notice I mention no political party or entity. I am not interested in representing or putting down any politician. My interest lies with the people of this country who are in need of care. Nothing more, nothing less. Pity it isn’t that simple in Washington. — Dawn Palser Troy

DOONESBURY
I need a vacation from my vacation Troy Troy By the time you read this, I will be in the midst of my fourth day of a week-long vacation. During that time I’ve written zero stories, designed no pages, took nary an irate phone call and not managed a single member of my staff. Which, of course, can only mean one thing … … I can’t wait to get back to work. If there’s one thing being a husband and father has taught me, it’s that I love my family with all my heart — but I love them even more when I get to spend eight hours a day away from them. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder — not to mention, they can’t give me any chores to do when I’m at work. Taking a vacation these days is hard work — particularly when the kids are home from school for the summer. On my very first day of vacation — or, as I like to call it, “The Countdown ‘Til I Get to Go Back To Work” — my kids ensured I was up by 8 a.m. to entertain them. Of course, given the time they normally wake up, I actually considered this sleeping in. This wake-up call was followed mostly by two hours of them ask-
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor ing me what we were going to do for the rest of the day. In graphic detail, they wanted a minute-byminute play by play of exactly how my day was going to be devoted to making their lives more fun and exciting. No matter what I told them, they always followed with “And then what?” An example: “First we are going to eat breakfast?” “And then what?” “Then we are going to get dressed.” “And then what?” “Then we are going to the pool.” “And then what?” “Then we are going to come home and have lunch.”
“And then what?” “Then we are going to go to the park for a little while.” “And then what?” “Then daddy is going to begin sobbing uncontrollably and question his very existence.” “And then what?” Of course, my first mistake — aside from getting out of bed in the morning — was taking them to the pool. I had hoped by taking them to the pool they would be able to entertain themselves for three hours. Turns out I overestimated their ability to entertain themselves by roughly 2 hours, 57 minutes. No sooner had we walked through the front gate then they went on the attack. “Daddy, could you spread my towel out for me? Daddy, can you put sunscreen on me? Daddy, I’m hungry! Daddy, that kid is looking at me! Daddy, can you watch me jump off the side of the pool? Daddy, watch me swim? Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!” Perhaps the only good part about going to the pool was I learned how to hold my breath for a really long time — mostly because under water, nobody can
hear you scream. Of course, my wife also is on vacation this week, which can mean only one thing — chores. Lots of ‘em. My wife wasn’t happy unless every free second of my day — the ones not being occupied by endless games of Candyland or making grilled cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off, that is — was spent either cleaning something or fixing something. The sad part is, mowing my lawn at midday when the temperature was 106-degrees actually seemed like somewhat of a respite — and sure as heck beat hearing someone say “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!” every other second. Of course, it hasn’t been all bad. I love my family dearly and it was nice being able to spend some time with them. I’m sure one day I’ll look back and cherish these moments. For now, though, I’m just looking forward to going back to work. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. He decided long ago, it’s a long way down that holiday road …

Piqua native writes book on service BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com JOPLIN, Mo. — Former Piqua City Manager R. Mark Rohr, who served the Piqua community from 1998 to 2003, recently wrote a book regarding his experience as city manager of Joplin, Mo., in the aftermath of a fierce EF-5 tornado that tore through Joplin on May 22, 2011. Entitled “Joplin: The Miracle of the Human Spirit” and available through Barnes and Noble and Amazon, the 260-page book catalogues what Rohr has designated as the true miracle of the human spirit. It covers the first six months following the tragedy from Rohr’s unique perspective. “It was cathartic to some degree,” Rohr explained. “The book tells about my personal involvement in the rescue efforts following the storm and things I experienced at a collapsed church that I never hope to encounter again.” Rohr said in the days, weeks and months that followed it was hard for him to process much of the destruction he witnessed firsthand. But he said after several months went by he was approached by several people who suggested he consider writing a book about the events following the deadly storm, and Rohr agreed. “I didn’t have time to

With the destruction left behind in the wake of a killer tornado in the background, former Piqua City manager Mark Rohr conducts a news conference following the Joplin, Mo., tornado last year. Rohr, the Joplin city manager, has written a book detailing his experiences following the natural disaster and his admiration for the spirit of the people of Joplin. process any of that when it happened or for months after that because of how busy I was,” he said. The book provides a day-to-day account of the responsibilities and decisions Rohr needed to make as the city’s manager. In addition, it includes the role he played in assisting victims of the storms with a small army of 135,000 volunteers in the aftermath of a storm that claimed 161 lives and was the nation’s deadliest tornado since 1947. According to a description on the book on Amazon.com, “The citizens of Joplin showed the world what miracles look like in the form of real courage, determination and compassion. Joplin is a mira-
cle of the human spirit.” Also in the book Rohr describes a highly-emotional scene at the ruins of the Joplin Full Gospel Church. In an excerpt, Rohr wrote: “Glancing at the young girl’s lifeless body, I felt a wave of nausea as I thought of my own beautiful 2-year-old daughter, Riley, whom I hoped had made it through the storm along with the rest of my family.” Rohr called the book “an honest portrayal of the behind-the-scenes process surrounding the first six months after the storm, starting the night of the tornado. He also stated that his past experiences of being a city manager, including

INTERNATIONAL DEATHS • Eric Sykes LONDON (AP) — Eric Sykes, the widelyacclaimed British comedy actor and writer, died Wednesday. He was 89. Sykes was one of the most popular comic actors of his generation, appearing in shows in London’s West End into his 80s. He began his career writing scripts for BBC shows, cowriting 24 episodes of the classic radio comedy “The Goon Show” with the late Spike Milligan. He appeared in the “Sykes and a” sitcom about a brother and sister living together in west London, which ran in the 1960s and 1970s. He went on to write and act in theater shows and movies, including an appearance in “The Others” starring Nicole Kidman and in the Harry Potter film “Harry Potter
and the Goblet of Fire.” Sykes also wrote scripts for Peter Sellers and other major British actors. Manager Norma Farnes said that Sykes died following a brief illness and was with his family when he passed away, but did give the cause of his death or specify if Sykes had been at home or in a hospital. TV star and former Monty Python member Michael Palin said Sykes was “one of the nicest, most decent men in the business and one of a kind.” “To me, he was a great inspiration, both as a writer and performer,” Palin said. Comedian Stephen Fry paid tribute on Twitter, writing: “Oh no! Eric Sykes gone? An adorable, brilliant, modest, hilarious, innovative and irreplaceable comic master.

Urge brother to help girl find a job; then back off Dear Annie: My younger brother, "Gary," is 27 years old and lives in a two-bedroom apartment. I recently found out from a mutual friend that he is living with "Debbie," a 17-year-old dropout. This girl quit high school, had a fight with her parents and showed up on Gary's doorstep asking to use his spare bedroom. He reluctantly agreed to let her stay temporarily. On the second night there, Debbie decided to sleep in Gary's bed, and you can guess what happened. I love my brother, and he is the most considerate and straitlaced person I know, but he is very immature when it comes to the opposite sex. I was shocked by his bad judgment and asked what he possibly could have been thinking. Gary said he didn't know Debbie was underage until after the fact. He worried about what Debbie's parents might do. As it turns out, her parents were glad their daughter wasn't living on the streets. Debbie will be 18 in four months, but isn't this still against the law? I can't believe her parents are so nonchalant about it. My parents live out of state and know nothing about it. Should I tell them? Should I express my concerns to Debbie's parents or just hope that Gary will come to his senses? — Disappointed Sister Dear Sister: The age of consent varies by state, and even in states where the age is 18, there are variations on the severity of the punishment. But we agree that if this is illegal in your state, Gary could be in a world of trouble. Decide what you hope to accomplish by telling your parents or chastising Debbie's folks. Then urge Gary to help this almostadult find a decent job and her own place. Soon. Dear Annie: My husband is a chain cigar smoker. He refuses to acknowledge that the secondhand smoke is hazardous to my son and me, not to mention to his own health. Somewhere along the way, he was convinced that cigars aren't as bad as cigarettes. However, I think the secondhand smoke is heavier and therefore more dangerous to those around him. Any information you can provide on the dangers would be appreciated. — Frustrated Nonsmoker Dear Frustrated: Insist that your husband smoke outside. According to the American Cancer Society, cigars give off more secondhand smoke than cigarettes because they contain more tobacco and often burn longer. One large cigar can contain as much tobacco as a pack of cigarettes. All tobacco smoke, regardless of the source, is known to cause cancer. Secondhand smoke from cigars contains toxins and carcinogens, just like cigarettes. And because the cigar wrapper is less porous, the tobacco doesn't burn as completely, and the result is a higher concentration of nitrogen oxides, ammonia, carbon monoxide and tar. Regular cigar smokers are four to 10 times more likely to die from cancers of the lung, lip, oral cavity, esophagus and larynx than nonsmokers. For those who inhale, cigar smoke appears to be linked to death from cancer of the pancreas and bladder, and also increases the risk of heart and lung diseases. Dear Annie: I loved that you told "Head in the Clouds" to go ahead and live in Ireland after college graduation. She can invite discouraging family members to visit, and maybe they will understand. I, too, had a passionate desire to travel, and although I managed to see most of the U.S. and Canada, I didn't go abroad until I was 47. Europe enriched my life so much, and my only regret is not having gone sooner. The history, the languages, the architecture, the art, the people, even the food added immeasurably to my life and will enrich hers. It helped me understand where I came from, and I looked at America with new eyes each time I returned. — Salem, Ore.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Readers respond to lipstick ledger request Dear Readers: In a recent column, we asked how many tubes of lipsticks you own. Here are some responses: • Dorene C. in Florida wrote: “I was surprised to learn I had 90 tubes of lipstick and 89 lip glosses. So, if lip gloss counts as lipstick, I have 179 total!” • Sharon S. in Texas, who reads the column in the Tyler Morning Telegraph, wrote: “I am embarrassed to admit that I have more than 50. Shh! Don’t tell my children.” • Patty L. in Ohio wrote: “I did the lipstick count: 28 in the bathroom, 10 in another bathroom, seven on the kitchen counter/table, two in my work
Hints from Heloise Columnist bag, two in my dressy purse and two in my everyday purse, for a total of 51!” • Lena B. in Nebraska, who reads the column in the Omaha World-Herald, wrote: “I have 17 tubes of lipstick and a compact with three different shades.” • Doris K. in Prescott, Ariz., who reads the column in The
Daily Courier, wrote: “Believe it or not, I have one tube of lipstick. I use it until it’s gone and then buy another.” Thanks for writing! These five readers will receive a set of my pamphlets.So many lipsticks, but you never know when a shade might come back in style! — Heloise SOCK MYSTERY Dear Heloise: I thought your readers would like to know that the mystery of missing socks has been solved! The other day when I was putting the fitted sheet back on the bed, I discovered two socks tucked away in the corners of the sheets. Since I had lost one of my favorite socks a few days prior, I decided to look in the corners of
other sheets around the house. Wouldn’t you know I found not only a sock in one of the corners, but a pair of underwear and a handkerchief in another! — Molly F., Somerville, Ohio PLASTIC PLACE MATS Dear Heloise: I found a great use for plastic place mats. I line drawers and cabinets under the sinks in the bathroom and kitchen, and underneath flowerpots. They can be coordinated to the room because they come in many designs. When you want to clean them, just take them out and wash them with soapy water and dry. No problem with stains from cans that rust, etc. — Diane E., via email

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, July 6, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An older female acquaintance might have good advice for you today, especially regarding partnerships or dealing with others. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You can impress bosses, parents, VIPs and the police today with your practical common sense. Others see you as someone who is well-prepared. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to make long-range travel plans or even plans related to further education in the future. You’re in a sensible frame of mind and ready to look at all aspects of a situation. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You can clear up loose details with insurance matters, inheritances, taxes, debt and other red-tape matters today. Your powers of concentration are excellent, and you’re willing to work. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to sit down with partners and discuss how to share expenses or the division of labor. You want practical results. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A productive day at work! Choose today to tackle routine jobs you normally might avoid, because you have the necessary endurance to get them done. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions about children, the arts or anything that is sports-related will be serious and practical but productive. People are ready to listen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An older family member or relative might have suggestions about how to do something today. Why not learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before you? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you are ready to pay attention to details, this is a good day to slog away at routine work. It’s also a good day to make long-range plans for the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If shopping today, you will want to buy only practical, long-lasting items. You feel frugal and thrifty with your money, which is not unusual because you like to avoid waste. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’re not in a frivolous frame of mind today — quite the opposite: You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and work hard to achieve your goals. Someone older might help or advise you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Any kind of research will pay off today if you are digging for answers. In part, this is because you are relentless and persevering in going after what you want. YOU BORN TODAY You’re involved in the lives of others because life sweeps you in certain directions and you have little choice. You learn not to hold on too tightly, to let go and move on. You strive to live in the moment and be present for each day. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end in order to make room for something new.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, July 5, the 187th day of 2012. There are 179 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 5, 1687, Isaac Newton first published his Principia Mathematica, a three-volume work setting out his mathematical principles of natural philosophy.

New tests revive debate over Arafat death JERUSALEM (AP) — The discovery of traces of a radioactive agent on clothing reportedly worn by Yasser Arafat in his final days reignited a cauldron of conspiracy theories Wednesday about the mysterious death of the longtime Palestinian leader. Arafat’s widow, who ordered the tests by a Swiss lab, called for her husband’s body to be exhumed, and Arafat’s successor gave tentative approval for an autopsy. But experts warned that even after the detection of polonium-210, getting answers on the cause of death will be tough. Arafat was 75 when he died Nov. 11, 2004, in a French military hospital. He had been airlifted to the facility just weeks earlier with a mysterious illness, after being confined by Israel for three years to his West Bank headquarters. At the time, French doctors said Arafat died of a massive stroke. According to French medical records, he had suffered inflammation, jaundice and a blood condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC. But the records were inconclusive about what brought about the DIC, which has numerous causes including infections, colitis and liver disease. Outside experts who reviewed the records on behalf of The Associated Press were also unable to pinpoint the underlying cause. The uncertainty sparked speculation about the cause of death, including the possibility of AIDS or poisoning. Many in the Arab world believe he was killed by
AP PHOTO
In this Friday, Oct. 29, 2004 file photo, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and his wife Suha hold hands prior to Arafat’s departure from his compound in the West Bank town of Ramallah in this file picture released by the Palestinian Authority. Israel, which held him responsible for the bloody Palestinian uprising of the early 2000s. Israeli officials have repeatedly denied foul play, and they dismissed the latest theories as nonsense. That debate was reignited after a Swiss lab said Wednesday it had discovered traces of polonium-210 in clothing and other belongings provided by Arafat’s wife, Suha. She told the lab that Arafat had used the items in his final days. The development was first reported by the Al-Jazeera satellite channel. In an interview Wednesday in Doha, Qatar, Mrs. Arafat said she was pleased to be getting closer to determining the cause of her husband’s death.
“I was shocked first, of course, because it’s a very dangerous poison that … they discovered,” she told APTN. “But I was relieved that we are on the steps of knowing the truth.” She strongly hinted that she thinks Israel, which is widely believed to have a nuclear weapons program, was responsible, but stopped short of openly saying so. “Not the whole world has access to nuclear elements. We have to make a more profound and deep investigation to know all the truth about his death,” she said. Polonium-210 is best known for causing the death of Alexander Litvinenko, a one-time KGB agent turned critic of the Russian gov-
ernment, in London in 2006. Litvinenko drank tea laced with the substance. Francois Bochud, who heads the Institute of Radiation Physics in Lausanne, Switzerland, told the AP on Wednesday that his lab had discovered “very small” quantities of polonium-210, which is naturally present in the environment. But levels found in blood and urine samples taken from the clothing were well above normal. Bochud said an “elevated” level of more than 100 millibecquerel, a measurement of radioactivity, was found on Arafat’s belongings. That’s compared with levels of some 10 millibecquerel in some control samples. He said Arafat’s wife told him she had stored the items in her lawyer’s office after her husband died. It was not clear why she waited so long to test them. Bochud stressed that the discovery did not provide proof that Arafat had been poisoned. That would require further testing. “What is possible to say is that we have an unexplained level of polonium, so this clearly goes toward the hypothesis of a poisoning, but our results are clearly not a proof of any poisoning,” he said by telephone from Switzerland. In the West Bank, Arafat’s successor, President Mahmoud Abbas, cleared the way for an autopsy. “The Palestinian Authority was and remains fully prepared to cooperate and to provide all the facilities needed to reveal the real causes that led to the death of the late president,” Abbas’ office said in a
statement. “There are no religious or political reasons that preclude research on this issue, including an examination of the remains of the late president by a reliable national medical body, upon request and approval by his family.” The top Muslim cleric in the Palestinian territories, Mufti Mohammed Hussein, also gave the green light to help allay possible objections in the conservative Muslim society. With Mrs. Arafat and religious authorities in agreement, it was unclear what other steps were needed for the body to be exhumed from his mausoleum-style burial site in the West Bank town of Ramallah. Palestinian officials have long argued that Israel had the means and motive to kill Arafat, whom it accused of encouraging suicide bombings and shootings that claimed hundreds of Israeli lives during the uprising. While confining Arafat to his West Bank headquarters, Israel tightly controlled everything going in and out of the compound. Palestinian official Saeb Erekat on Wednesday called for an international investigation into Arafat’s death. In Israel, officials dismissed the renewed speculation. “Making up conspiracy theories based on pretend evidence is so ludicrous that it befits the comedy channel and not a news channel,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor. “If there is anything suspicious about his death, then the French doctors would have known and said something.”
Eureka! Physicists celebrate evidence of particle GENEVA (AP) — Scientists at the world’s biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of “the missing cornerstone of physics” Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or “God particle,” which could help explain why all matter has mass and crack open a new realm of subatomic science. First proposed as a theo-
ry in the 1960s, the maddeningly elusive Higgs had been hunted by at least two generations of physicists who believed it would help shape our understanding of how the universe began and how its most elemental pieces fit together. As the highly technical findings were announced by two independent teams involving more than 5,000 researchers, the usually sedate corridors of the European Center for
Nuclear Research, or CERN, erupted in frequent applause and standing ovations. Physicists who spent their careers in pursuit of the particle shed tears. The new particle appears to share many of the same qualities as the one predicted by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others and is perhaps the biggest accomplishment at CERN since its founding in 1954 outside Geneva along the
Swiss-French border. Rolf Heuer, director of CERN, said the newly discovered particle is a boson, but he stopped just shy of claiming outright that it is the Higgs boson itself an extremely fine distinction. “As a layman, I think we did it,” he told the elated crowd. “We have a discovery. We have observed a new particle that is consistent with a Higgs boson.” The Higgs, which until now had been purely theo-
retical, is regarded as key to understanding why matter has mass, which combines with gravity to give all objects weight. The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton’s early theories. Gravity was there all the time before Newton explained it. The Higgs boson was believed to be there, too. And now that scientists have actually seen something much like it, they can put that knowledge to further use.
The center’s atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider, sends protons whizzing around a circular 27-kilometer (17-mile) underground tunnel at nearly the speed of light to create high-energy collisions. The aftermath of those impacts can offer clues about dark matter, antimatter and the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.

Pound out 14 hits in 12-3 victory CLEVELAND (AP) — Travis Hafner returned to Cleveland’s lineup and the Indians’ Derek Lowe got back in the win column. Lowe won for the first time in more than a month as Cleveland pounded out 14 hits, including three-run homers by Michael Brantley and Casey Kotchman, to beat the Los Angeles Angels 12-3 Wednesday. Hafner went 1 for 3 with two walks in his first game since having right knee surgery May 31. Lowe (8-6) gave up three runs and 11 hits in six innings for his first win in six starts since June
1. The 39-year-old was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in five outings between victories. “It’s great to see the guys get a lot of runs,” Lowe said. “Then it’s up to me not to walk guys and give it back.” Michael Brantley hit a threerun homer in the first inning off Ervin Santana (4-9) and Casey Kotchman had a three-run shot in a six-run second as Cleveland took a 9-1 lead. Johnny Damon had a seasonAP PHOTO high three of Cleveland’s 14 hits.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — A short ride to Sam Snead’s playground is what Tiger Woods considers a good way to get ready for the British Open. Woods traveled 250 miles for his debut in The Greenbrier Classic on today, a week after his two-shot win at the AT&T National he hosts in Bethesda, Md. The quick trip to the Old White TPC Course, along with memories of the late Snead’s stories about his 47-year association with the historic Greenbrier resort, helped make Woods’ decision to compete in the 3-year-old tournament an easy one. “This tournament since its inception has been absolutely incredible,” Woods said. “I knew about the history of (the resort) from Sam and how much he loved coming here and loved being here.” The place might grow on Woods, too, if he can get his fourth victory this season and moves within seven of Snead’s record 82 PGA Tour wins. Despite their age difference, Woods and Snead struck up a friendship, which was born at a

Wimbledon semis filled with familiar names WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — After curling in a 102 mph ace to grab a two-set lead a mere 56 minutes into his Wimbledon quarterfinal Wednesday, Roger Federer casually pulled an extra tennis ball from his pocket and strolled to sit in his changeover chair for a sip to drink. No fist pump. No yell of excitement. No energized jog to the sideline. There still was work to be done; nothing to be taken for granted. Motivated by the bitter memory of quarterfinal losses at the All England Club the past
two years, including a wasted two-set edge in 2011, six-time Wimbledon champion Federer bullied 26th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 to reach his record 32nd career Grand Slam semifinal. “Feels great being back in the semis. … Haven’t been here in the last couple years,” the thirdseeded Federer said. “So this is nice, to be back to a place where I’ve been so many times before.” He’s two wins away from a seventh Wimbledon championship, which would equal a mark set by William Renshaw in
the 1880s back when the defending champion received a bye directly into the final and tied by Pete Sampras in 2000. Nothing worked for Youzhny, including a kidding plea for help from eight-time major champion Andre Agassi, who was seated next to his wife, Steffi Graf, in the front row of the Royal Box, near Prince William and his wife, Kate. “I know I’m playing really well,” Federer said. “I am aware things are going to get complicated in the next match.” Sure are.
That’s because he’ll face a familiar foe Friday: No. 1 Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, who didn’t have too much trouble while beating No. 31 Florian Mayer of Germany 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. This will be the sixth semifinal in the past eight Grand Slam tournaments, and 27th meeting overall, for Federer and Djokovic, and their first at Wimbledon. Federer leads 14-12, but Djokovic won six of their last seven matches, including at the French Open a month ago.

As Cavendish slips, Greipel wins at Tour ROUEN, France (AP) — Britain’s Mark Cavendish felt painful scrapes from the hard Tour de France asphalt in Wednesday’s fourth stage. He bared no hard feelings toward rival Andre Greipel, who won it. The German speedster, leading a thinned-out group of sprinters at the finish, got his 14th victory in all competitions this year while Cavendish nursed wounds from a late crash as the race entered Normandy. Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara got briefly held up by the trouble but didn’t go down, and retained the overall lead for a fifth day after the 133-mile trek alongside the English Channel from Abbeville to Rouen. The top standings didn’t change: Bradley Wiggins, the leader of Cavendish’s Team Sky hoping to be Britain’s first Tour winner, is second, 7 seconds behind the Swiss leader. Defending champion Cadel Evans of Australia is 17 seconds off the pace in seventh. With less than two miles left, a group spill brought down Cavendish, scraping up his rainbow-colored jersey of world champion. He looked a bit dazed as Sky staff checked him out and helped him get on a bike. He rode gingerly to finish the stage. The squad said he was banged up, but appeared to have no serious injuries and was likely to start today. With Cavendish out of the picture, Greipel burst out of the depleted group of sprinters, and sped to the straightaway finish, a splitsecond ahead of Italy’s Alessandro Petacchi and Dutch rider Tom Veelers. The German said he didn’t pay much attention to the late crash. “I heard something behind me … but at 60 kilometers per hour, you don’t worry about what happened behind,” the Lotto-Belisol rider told France-2 TV. While pro cyclists all run the risk of crashing, Cavendish’s spill amounted to a scare if faint to his high hopes of winning gold for Britain in the Olympic road race next month. Cavendish has played second fiddle on Sky over the team’s goal for Wiggins to get a victory, and unlike in years past has only one devoted lead-out man to guide and shield him in the frenzied last sprint: Bernard Eisel, an Austrian who also

Andre Greipel celebrates as he crosses the finish line to win the fourth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 214.5 kilometers (133.3 miles) with start in Abbeville and finish on Wednesday in Rouen, France. got banged up in the spill. Cavendish, seen by many as the world’s best sprinter and the winner of 21 Tour stages including Stage 2 Monday, conveyed no hard feelings over his mishap. “Ouch…..,” Cavendish wrote on Twitter. “Crash at 2.5km to finish today. Taken some scuffs to my left side, but I’ve bounced pretty well again. Congrats to (at)AndreGreipel.” Tyler Farrar, a sprint specialist from the United States who won the Tour stage on July 4 last year, also got tangled up and missed out on a chance for a repeat sprint victory on the U.S. Independence Day holiday. In the pileup, the Garmin-Sharp rider flew off his bike, “somersaulted over his bars, tucked and rolled and ended up on his feet running away from the crash,” tweeted team chiropractor Matt Rabin. Despite the crash, Greipel said his victory was well-deserved. “There were still really fast guys there for the sprint and I think we just deserve
this victory,” he said, playing down a question about whether he savored it less because Cavendish was knocked out. “I think it’s no question about that,” Greipel added. “I won a stage in the Tour de France!” At a still-young 27 years old, Cavendish, who was voted the BBC’s sports personality of the year in Britain last year, has 21 stage wins at the Tour one short of the number that seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong had in his career. An official race medical report said Cavendish sustained several scratches and a cut on a finger, Eisel sustained a gash that required stitches on his forehead, and Garmin’s Robbie Hunter of South Africa scraped up his left side. Daniel Oss of Liquigas had a hip injury. According to the Tour rulebook, riders who get delayed by a crash in the last three kilometers of the stage are awarded the same time as the stage winner. The pack clocked the same time as Greipel 5
hours, 18 minutes, 32 seconds though some stragglers nursing wounds from crashes earlier this week, like world time-trial champion Tony Martin of Germany, and Tom Danielson of the United States, straggled in 2:21 behind. Cancellara, who briefly got stalled by the crash, sighed with relief: “I’m really happy to get past that, a fall early hurts … today it was calm, and then hectic at the finish.” David Moncoutie and Anthony Delaplace of France and Japan’s Yukiya Arashiro broke away early and chiseled out a maximum lead of 8:40 at mile 10, but the pack reeled them in with about six miles left in the stage. Riders set off from Abbeville a town where 6,000 buildings were destroyed or damaged in a German bombing raid in World War II in May 1940 and rode along the English Channel’s picturesque, chalky cliffs with views of giant wind-turbine installations.
newspapers and you watch the stuff on TV that’s said about you, I think it would become far too much,” Murray said. “But if you kind of shield yourself from it all and kind of just get into your own little bubble, only listen to the people that are around you, then it’s something you can deal with.” He was one point from facing a two-set deficit
before coming back to eliminate No. 7 David Ferrer of Spain 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (4) to get to the semifinals for the fourth year in a row. Murray lost at that stage to Andy Roddick in 2009, then to Rafael Nadal in 2010 and 2011 and No. 2 Nadal’s stunning exit in the second round last week ratcheted up expectations this would be Murray’s year.

They know how to play each other,” said Federer’s coach, Paul Annacone. “So it’s really going to be who plays the bigger points better.” The other men’s semifinal will be No. 4 Andy Murray of Britain against No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France. Neither has won a
Grand Slam title or been to a Wimbledon final. Cue “Murray Mania,” as it’s known around these parts. He is trying to become the first British man to earn the trophy at the All England Club since Fred Perry in 1936; the last to even make it to the title match was Bunny Austin in 1938. “If you think too much about it, and you read the
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — From their early days as bouncing Boy Scouts to the demanding journey of becoming Eagle Scouts, to their days as national champion shooters and, eventually, top-notch college rowers each studying engineering, twins Grant and Ross James have always taken parallel paths in life. Both knew that could end as they chased their Olympic dream. One might make it, while the other stayed home. Then, Ross landed the last seat in the U.S. eight boat that captured the final spot in the eightcountry Olympic field. They’re off to London as Olympic teammates, rowing in neighboring seats to boot. “We’ve had a lot of similar experiences,” said Ross, who is four minutes younger. “We’ve been doing a lot of things our life throughout together and we’ve accomplished a lot of things together, so it’s nice to continue that trend of being with your twin brother. I like to think of him like another teammate. It’s tough, because we won’t always be in the same boat or the same situations.” For now, they’re
thrilled with this rare opportunity and so is their proud mother, Cindy James-Warren, who raised them on her own. Had things gone differently just a few months back, the brothers wouldn’t be together now. As the final spot came down to Ross and another rower in late April, Grant excused himself when the rest of the athletes gave their nominations for who should make the boat. “The last couple days it was between myself and another rower for the very last seat in the boat, so that’s when it came down to, would both of us go or not?” Ross recalled. “It’s not easy. The whole five months wasn’t easy. It was pretty stressful. That’s part of it. If at that stage you can handle that level of stress, at the Olympics it’s going to be an even higher level of stress. The easy part was going out and racing.” Teammate Giuseppe Lanzone called it a “very hard decision,” but credited Ross for earning the spot. Coach Mike Teti said Ross was the most consistent. US Rowing formally named them to the Olympic roster Tuesday.

Woods ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 golf outing near Los Angeles when Woods was 5. Snead played with a new group every two holes and Woods happened to be in the final one, making a pair of bogeys to Snead’s two pars. “I still have the card at home,” Woods said. Throughout the years, Woods and Snead had “countless dinners and conversations, and he was always so funny to be around and the stories he would tell and the needling — the needling was nonstop,” Woods said. “That was one of the neat things about Sam.” It was at The Greenbrier where Snead got his first professional job in the mid-1930s. He was the resort’s golf pro
until 1974 and returned as pro emeritus in 1993. Five years later he realized a lifelong dream of establishing a golf academy. Snead died in 2002, leaving behind a clubhouse filled with his trophies, photos and other treasures. Like Snead, Tom Watson has a long-lasting relationship with The Greenbrier. Watson’s began at the 1979 Ryder Cup, but his stay was shortened by the birth of his first child. He liked the place so much that the next year, he started bringing sponsors and business associates to the resort. Watson was named pro emeritus in 2005. He’ll be playing in his second PGA event of the year, the other being the Masters.

Tseng going for career Grand Slam KOHLER, Wis. (AP) — Yani Tseng fondly remembers attending the U.S. Women’s Open as a fan when she was 13, down to autographs and free snacks. Should Tseng win at Blackwolf Run this week, she’ll get a taste of fame only a handful of players have sampled before. With a victory in the U.S. Women’s Open, the 23year-old native of Taiwan would become the youngest AP PHOTO women’s player ever to Yani Tseng reacts to her tee shot on seven during a complete a career Grand practice round for the U.S. Women’s Open golf tour- Slam of victories in each nament on Tuesday in Kohler, Wis. major tournament. She’d
even one-up Tiger Woods, who didn’t win all four majors on the men’s side until he was 24. But after winning three times on the LPGA Tour earlier this year, Tseng is struggling going into today’s first round at the challenging 6,944-yard, par-72 course in central Wisconsin. And Tseng acknowledges that completing the career slam is on her mind. “Yes, of course,” Tseng said. “It’s hard to not think about, because everybody is talking about it. But like I
say, I’m not worried about what’s my result this week, because (I’m) just going to have fun.” Karrie Webb is the youngest women’s player to complete a career Grand Slam, winning the LPGA Championship in 2001 to complete the feat at age 26. On the men’s side, Woods was 24 when he won the 2000 British Open to become the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam. Tseng’s best U.S. Open finish was 10th at Oakmont in 2010. But her
best memory at the tournament came as a 13-year-old fan, when she was part of a small group of young Taiwanese players who watched Juli Inkster win in 2002. She remembers getting players’ autographs on a flag. “When you’re a junior, you can get (a) hot dog and soft drink and free ticket to come in here,” Tseng said. “It was so much fun.” In a way, Tseng said her experience at the U.S. Open as a fan adds to the pressure she puts on herself as a player.

Column: Poker gets a million dollar night BY TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist It was just coincidence that the operator of what was once one of poker’s biggest websites was arrested the same week 48 players each plunked down $1 million in cash to sit down in a Las Vegas casino for what was billed as the biggest payout in tournament poker. The poker industry needed the “Big One for One Drop” to restore some vitality to the game, which has suffered in the wake of a government crackdown on online poker sites. And what could be better than a national television audience with poker pros and poker wannabes battling it out for a first prize that rivaled those paid Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao? Indeed, the final table Tuesday night at the Rio hotel didn’t just include the usual sharks who hang out in Las Vegas poker rooms.
There was a Cirque du Soleil owner who dreamed up the whole thing and a hedge fund operator who donated his $4.3 million winnings for third place to a charity helping students in high risk urban schools. “It was fun,” said David Einhorn, president of Greenlight Capital, who played behind mirrored sunglasses. “I mean, you’ve got a poker tournament you put together with 48 terrific players. Most of them have lots and lots of experience, and then they invited a few guys like me in and said ‘Let’s have a poker party.’ “ The invite came with a catch: Players had to put up $1 million to get in with no guarantee they would get any of it back. That was enough to give pause to even the highest rollers in the poker playing fraternity, including the eventual winner, whose original plan was to do TV commentary on the tournament, not play in it. That plan changed for 33-

year-old Antonio Esfandiari when he decided to round up his investors and enter the tournament at the last minute. He then wore down 47 other players over three days to emerge with the $18.3 million first prize organizers say is the biggest in tournament poker history. “Believe it or not, I never once thought about the money,” Esfandiari said. The tournament was the brainchild of Guy Laliberte, the Cirque du Soleil founder whose shows are ubiquitous on the Vegas Strip. Laliberte, who Forbes ranks as the 11th richest Canadian with a worth of $2.6 billion, saw the event as a way to both bring excitement back to poker and to benefit the charity One Drop Foundation, which he founded to promote access to clean water around the world. The one person who benefitted the most, though, was Esfandiari, who emigrated to the United States from Iran at age 9 and was a pro-
fessional magician before turning to poker. He played barefooted before a large group of supporters that included his father, who cheered wildly every time he won a hand. The last man sitting with Esfandiari was Sam Trickett, a 25-year-old Englishman who once played professional soccer and is regarded as one of the game’s young stars. Only in America, as boxing promoter Don King would say. Trickett was fading to begin with and running out of options in the Texas Hold’em event when he went all in against what would be a winning hand of three 5’s. Trickett was trying to draw to a diamonds flush, but both the last two cards flipped over were hearts, touching off a celebration by Esfandiari’s supporters, who held him aloft. The final table of eight went quickly, too quickly for Brian Rast, a good friend of Esfandiari who finished
sixth and had to settle for $1.6 million on his $1 million investment. When you’re a professional poker player, though, you have to accept bad beats. It’s part of the game, though this one stung more than most. “The difference between sixth and first is like 17 million. It hurts,” Rast said. “When you gamble for a living for eight years you have to get used to the fact stuff doesn’t go your way on a regular basis.” Tournament poker has always drawn a strange assortment of characters, back to the day when guys with nicknames such as Texas Dolly and Amarillo Slim battled it out at Binion’s Horseshoe Club in downtown Vegas in what was the original World Series of Poker. Those tournaments were as famous for their $10,000 entry fees as they were for the side games that went on in poker rooms around town that often involved a lot more money
than in the official game. The tremendous growth of online poker some studies say several million Americans played for money online at least once a month before the government crackdown helped fuel the popularity of the tournament, which drew 6,865 entries last year, down from a peak of 8,773 in 2006, when Jamie Gold won what was then a record $12 million. But the major poker websites are now either shut down or shut off in the U.S., and earlier this week Ray Bitar turned himself in on charges his Full Tilt Poker site operated a Ponzi scheme that stole hundreds of millions of dollars from players. That bit of unpleasantness was set aside as play began at the final table. Poker was again being broadcast in primetime by ESPN, even if most of those watching across the country had no place themselves to play legally.

Boston’s Ortiz belts 400th homer in loss OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has hit his 400th career home run, a leadoff drive to right in the fourth inning against Oakland’s A.J. Griffin. The 36-year-old Big Papi’s home runs rank eighth among active players and 49th on the alltime list. Next up for him to catch: Hall of Famer
Duke Snider with 407. His 22nd home run of the season for Boston tied the game 1-all Wednesday. Ortiz’s 352 home runs and 1,142 RBIs as a designated hitter are most all-time. The A’s also allowed Paul Konerko’s milestone 400th home run for the White Sox when he did it April 25 against Grant Balfour in the Coliseum.

Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 two wins after being shut out 3-0 in the series opener. “We had a lot of quality at-bats and you could see Hafner’s effect right away,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “He just wore out Santana and then Brantley hit that homer.” With two outs and Jason Kipnis on first with a walk, Hafner drew an 11-pitch walk. Brantley followed with his second homer for a 3-0 lead. “Brantley got a good pitch to hit,” Damon said.
“Certain players (Hafner) make others around them better.” The Angels loaded the bases with no outs in the second, but scored only once. Lowe threw a called third strike past Erick Aybar before Maicer Izturis grounded into a run-scoring forceout. With runners on first and third, Jack Hannahan ranged behind the bag at third to get a grounder hit by Bobby Wilson. His long throw got the slow-running catcher by a step at first for the third out.

Nash dealt to Lakers PHOENIX (AP) — Steve Nash's agent Bill Duffy says the two-time MVP point guard is going to the Los Angeles Lakers in a signand-trade deal with the Phoenix Suns. The 38-year-old Nash, who spent the past eight seasons with the Suns, was a free agent but a sign-andtrade agreement was necessary for the Lakers to afford
him. He agreed to a threeyear, $27 million contract. In return, the Suns get four draft picks — first rounders in 2013 and 2015 and second rounders in 2013 and 2014. Duffy said the deal was finalized about 6 p.m., PDT. He said a main reason for Nash choosing the Lakers was to remain close to his children, who live in Phoenix.
NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Chestnut won his sixth straight Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest at Coney Island, downing 68 dogs and buns on Wednesday to tie his personal best in a sweaty, gaginducing spectacle. Last year, the 28-yearold San Jose, Calif., man nicknamed “Jaws” won with 62 hot dogs. He bested his main rival this year by 16 dogs, scarfing down all 68 in 10 minutes in the sweltering summer heat to take home $10,000 and the mustard yellow belt. “I feel good; it was a great win,” Chestnut said after the contest, adding he wished he could have eaten a record number of hot dogs for the audience. “I tried my best. I’m looking forward to next year already.” Second place went to Tim Janus of New York with 52 hot dogs, who received $5,000. Third place went to Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago with 51, who won $2,500. Chestnut was neck-andneck with competitors during the first half of the contest, but he pulled ahead in the remaining minutes, choking down dog after dog, while other competitors slowed as the clock wound down. “I’m happy to come out with the win,” he said. Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., downed 45 hot dogs to win the women’s competition. She reached her goal of eating 45 in the time limit her age and took home her own pink champion’s belt and $10,000. Thomas, known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, won last year as well, the first time a separate contest was held for women. Juliet Lee, of Germantown, Md., took second place with 33 and won $5,000. Lee also won second place last year. Third place went to Michelle Lesco, of Tuscon, Ariz., who received $2,500 for downing 25.

Thomas said she started to feel sick while eating but kept pushing so she could win the title. “There is a limit so I have to fight,” she said. Thomas said next year she’s going to beat her record again and eat 46. “Because I’m going to be 46 next year,” she said. The Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest has been a city tradition for 97 years. Tens of thousands of spectators gather to gawk as contestants shimmy, slither
and bounce as they dip hot dogs in water and cram them down their throats. For some, it’s a painful reminder of excess especially as the U.S. battles a growing obesity problem. The American Medical Association opposes competitive eating, saying it’s harmful to the human body. But the competitive eaters are quite trim. Chestnut is more than 6 feet tall and a muscly 210 pounds, and Thomas, who is 5-foot-5, weighed in at barely 100 pounds. Hot dogs, though, aren’t
the healthiest of choices. In addition to beef, they include salt and various food additives. Chestnut’s total dog count was equal to more than 20,000 calories. This year, the animal rights group Mercy For Animals staged a protest against eating meat, with signs that read “Choose Vegetarian.” Chestnut is now tied with his former rival, Takeru Kobayashi, for consecutive wins. The slim Japanese champ held the record for hot dog eating from 2001 to 2007, when he was unseated by Chestnut.

High MLB draft picks sign for $1,000 each NEW YORK (AP) — At 5-foot-11, Kyle Kraus didn’t expect to be a high pick in the Major League Baseball draft after going 7-6 with a 2.03 ERA as a senior at the University of Portland. Then about 2 hours before second-day selections started June 7, his telephone rang. On the line with the 22-year-old righthander was Pat Portugal, a Northwest area scout for the Boston Red Sox. “They called me that Tuesday morning and said, ‘Hey, we want a senior in
the seventh round or the 10th round that will sign for $1,000. Would you do it?’” Kraus recalled. “I said: Yeah.’” Signing bonuses have dropped for many top picks in this year’s amateur draft, the first under restrictive rules adopted in baseball’s new collective bargaining agreement. Teams face penalties if they exceed specified totals for their bonuses. As a result, some clubs selected players they knew they could sign for close to nothing.
Kraus was taken with the 241st pick overall, assigned a value of $143,000 in baseball’s labor contract. If he had not signed, the Red Sox would have seen the cash from his slot deducted from their total. With the money saved, the Red Sox were able to sign their top pick, Arizona State shortstop Deven Marrero, for $2.05 million — $300,000 over the amount slotted for the 24th selection overall. “My whole thing was, I’m not 6-5 and I don’t
throw 95 (mph), and so I’m not going to make a whole lot of money being a senior out of college,” said Kraus, who has made two relief appearances for Lowell, Boston’s Class-A affiliate in the New York-Penn League. “I figured I can’t turn down $1,000 in the seventh round when I don’t even know if I’ll get picked up later on for the same amount. It’s a dream come true. Yeah, I would have liked to have slot money, but for me money is not the reason why I’m playing this game.”
