Unemployment rates on rise Numbers unchanged in Ohio (AP) — WASHINGTON Unemployment rates rose in 44 U.S. states in July, the most states to show a monthly increase in more than three years and a reflection of weak hiring nationwide. The Labor Department said
Switching to Mars time For one family, an exotic summer getaway means living on Mars. Martian time, that is. Since the landing of NASA’s newest Mars rover, flight director David Oh’s family has taken the unusual step of tagging along as he leaves Earth time behind and syncs his body clock with the red planet. Every mission to Mars, a small army of scientists and engineers reports to duty on “Mars time” for the first three months. But it’s almost unheard of for an entire family to flip their orderly lives upside down, shifting to what amounts to a time zone change a day. See
Friday that unemployment rates fell in only two states and were unchanged in four. Unemployment rates rose in nine states that are considered battlegrounds in the presidential election. That trend, if it continued, could pose a threat to
President Barack Obama’s reelection bid in less than three months. Nationwide, hiring improved in July after three months of tepid job gains. But the national unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3 percent from 8.2 percent.
Monthly job gains have averaged 150,000 this year. That’s barely enough to accommodate population growth. As a result, the unemployment rate is the same as when the year began. Still, 31 states gained jobs in July, while 19 lost them. Unemployment rates can rise in a state even when more jobs are

PIQUA — Call it an urban legend, a medieval myth or just plain wrong information, but it’s entirely false that soon-tobe brides and their parents and fiances must spend hours and hours of time and miles and miles of travel to organize the perfect wedding. All they have to do is visit the seventh annual Weddings of Distinction Bridal Show at the Fort Piqua Plaza, 308 N. Main St., Piqua, on Aug. 26. The Troy Daily News, STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER Sidney Daily News and Troy Mayor Mike Beamish conducts His Honor March during the 20th Mayors’ Concert held at Troy’s Hobart Piqua Daily Call sponsor Arena on Sunday. The Dayton Philharmonic Concert Band and Chorus, along with the Troy Mayors’ Concert the event annually as a Board, dedicated the performance to the memory of founder Bruce George and board member Sidney Wheat.

Ranchers lose hope for aid It’s hard to tell what frustrates Todd Eggerling more the weather or Congress. Searing temperatures and drought scorched Eggerling’s land in southeast Nebraska, leaving little grass to feed his 100 cattle. Then Congress left for a five-week break without agreeing on aid to help ranchers through one of the worst droughts in the nation’s history.

Following her dreams Troy Christian graduate to dance with Nashville Ballet BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com NASHVILLE — Evelyn Ritzi could have taken the safe route. Instead, she chose to follow her dreams. After graduating from Troy Christian High School last spring with a 4.3 grade point average and as vice president of the National Honor Society, Ritzi had her pick of colleges and had been accepted into DePauw University in Indiana. Instead of packing up her belongings and heading off to college with thousands of other college freshmen her age, however, Ritzi chose to move away from home to the bright lights of Nashville. Last January, Ritzi — who has began taking ballet lessons at the age of 3 at the Pontecorvo Dance Studios in Springboro — auditioned for, and was accepted into, the Nashville Ballet’s second company and as a trainer to the Nashville Ballet. She chose to accept the offer — and instead of finding a college dorm room, Ritzi suddenly found

herself looking for an apartment far from home. “It was definitely hard — it’s really far from home,” Ritzi said. “Plus you don’t have the structure of college. At college, I would have been around people my own age and going through the same things — here, everyone is not the same age. I’m one of the youngest ones here.” Of course, succeeding at a young age has been a common occurrence for Ritizi throughout her life. She quickly advanced through Pontecorvo Dance Studio, joining the Professional Training Division at age 10 and becoming a member of the Gem City Ballet at age 12. She spent her summers studying with the Boston Ballet, Kaatsbaan International Dance Company in New York, the Houston Ballet and Next Generation Ballet in Tampa, Fla. Her senior year at
Pontecorvo, Ritzi performed both as the Sugar Plum Fairy in “The Nutcracker” and in the title role of “Giselle.” “Evelyn is a beautiful, intelligent young woman who’s natural musicality and strong work ethic, combined with her training and talent, will allow her to become a strong member of the dance world,” said her teacher and director, Barbara Pontecorvo. “I am very proud.” While spending 12 hours a week in ballet classes and 10 hours a week in rehearsals, Ritzi still managed to graduate at the top of her class at Troy Christian. “I found I did not really struggle with school — I thing a lot of that goes along with the discipline I got from ballet,” Ritzi said. “Even when I got home from the studio at 10 p.m., I knew I still had to study.”

Evelyn Ritzi, a Troy Christian graduate, recently was accepted into the Nashville Ballet’s second company and as a trainee to th Nashville Ballet. With all that success in the classroom and dance studio, however, that left Ritzi with a tough decision to make — to pursue a career in dance or head off to college. College remains an option — she’s taken a deferred enrollment year at DePauw — she’s ultimately chosen to the follow in the footsteps of her
older sister, Lauren, 22, who currently is pursuing a modern dance career in New York City. Ritzi said she’d like to keep dancing for as long as possible. “Right now, I’m taking it one day at a time,” she said. “I love performing and I hope to dance for many more years.”

Apple stock hits new high after 4-month dip NEW YORK (AP) — Apple's stock hit a new high Friday after a four-month swoon, as investors looked ahead to the release of a new iPhone and possibly a smaller iPad. Already the world's most valuable company, Apple Inc. saw its stock hit $648.19 just before closing, before retreating to $645.11. That was up $11.77, or 1.9 percent, from Thursday's close. The previous high for the stock was $644, hit on April 10. • The Dow Jones industrial average rose 25.09 points to close at13,275.20.
Lightning strike kills boy DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A lightning strike on a Lake Superior beach injured eight people, including a 9-year-old Wisconsin boy who later died, Minnesota authorities said Sunday. All eight were on a sailboat that took refuge from a rapidly approaching thunderstorm on the end of Minnesota Point, near the Superior Entry to the Duluth-Superior harbor, about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Lighting struck before they could get
off the boat, but one person was able to call 911. Law enforcement and rescue agencies rushed to the site, which was about two miles from the nearest road to Duluth, by boat and ATV. The 9-year-old boy from Iron River, Wis., was flown to a hospital in Duluth, where he was pronounced dead. His name was not immediately released. Four others were taken to Duluth hospitals with what authorities described as severe but not lifethreatening injuries.
The sheriff’s office said the others aboard the boat included Paul Voigt, 46, Laurie Voigt, 45, and an unnamed 7-year-old boy, all from Iron River, Wis.; John Lintula, 52, and Vicky Lintula, 50, who are both from Wisconsin but their hometowns weren’t listed; and Frank Voigt, 79, and Mary Voigt, 78, both of Pierz, Minn. The release did not say which of the seven were seriously injured or how the group was related. Duluth fire officials said Saturday that everyone had some injuries and the
group included parents and their two boys, grandparents and a couple who were friends of the family. Assistant Fire Chief Jarry Keppers told the Duluth News Tribune the 9-year-old boy was found face-down in the water by his brother, who turned him over. He said the other passengers on the 26-foot sailboat started CPR, which was continued by rescue workers who got a pulse back. Because of the difficulty in getting to the site, Keppers, said, about 25 minutes elapsed before the
first firefighters arrived by boat. Other responders followed by boat, ATV and on foot. “It’s one of the more remote areas of the city,” Keppers said. Except for the 9-yearold, all were taken by boat to Sky Harbor Airport or the Duluth Coast Guard Station, both of which are on Minnesota Point, a sand spit also known as Park Point that juts about 7 miles into Lake Superior from downtown Duluth. From there, they were driven in ambulances to hospitals, Keppers said.
Lawyers urged to give free services HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Jennifer Garcia stood alone before a judge with a stack of legal papers in her hands, answering questions about her personal life. She has acted as her own lawyer in state Family Court in a paternity, child support and visitation case on and off for three years, but representing herself in a courtroom full of strangers still makes her nervous. “Sometimes I get this gut feeling because you never know what the judge is going to say,” said the 23-year-old single mother of two from Hartford. Garcia is part of a crush of peo-
ple who are representing themselves in the nation’s civil courts because they can’t afford lawyers, who typically charge $200 to $500 an hour. The boom has overwhelmed courts and sparked new efforts to get attorneys to meet what the American Bar Association says is its professional responsibility to offer free legal services to people in need. The increase in self-represented parties stems from a recession that has left fewer people able to afford lawyers and created new waves of foreclosure, debt collection and bankruptcy cases, judges and lawyers say. Judges say self-
represented people are slowing down court dockets because they typically don’t know what legal points to argue or what motions to file. “There’s a crisis in this country,” said John Levi, board chairman of Washington, D.C.-based Legal Services Corp., the nation’s largest funder of civil legal aid for the poor. “Courthouses are being filled with people just showing up, trying to figure out what their rights are. If you’re a low-income person and you have a legal need, it is not easy to get it addressed.” Legal Services has a 58-member pro bono task force comprising
judges, attorneys, law school deans and other legal experts working on recommendations due out next month on how to get more lawyers to provide free services. At a time of rising demand, LSC has been dealing with funding cuts. Federal government funding for LSC dropped 17 percent to $348 million this year, compared with $420 million in 2010. LSC funds 135 legal aid groups across the country and serves about 900,000 clients a year, but it has to turn away about the same number of people seeking help because of a lack of staff.
Rates • CONTINUED FROM A1
it’s still much lower than a year ago, when it was 13.8 percent. And in Michigan, the rate has increased to 9 percent, from 8.5 percent two months earlier. Unemployment also increased in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin and New Hampshire. The rate was unchanged at 7.2 percent in Ohio, the only swing state that didn’t suffer an increase. Still, that rate is down sharply from 8.9 percent a year ago. Most competitive states have unemployment rates
below the national level, so even recent increases may not have a large impact on voter sentiment. Iowa’s unemployment rate, for example, increased to 5.3 percent, still the sixth-lowest in the country. New Hampshire’s rose to 5.4 percent and Virginia’s increased to 5.9 percent, both far below the national rate. Only four swing states have higher unemployment rates than the national figure: Nevada, Michigan, North Carolina at 9.6 percent, and Florida at 8.8 percent. Some battleground states reported large job gains that could lead to
lower unemployment rates in coming months. Michigan added 21,800 jobs, the second-largest increase in the nation, after California. Michigan’s gains were mostly in manufacturing and government. Virginia reported the third-largest increase, 21,300, mainly in education and health care. Most other battleground states added small numbers of jobs. Unemployment rates and total jobs data are derived from two separate surveys and aren’t always consistent each month. But they tend to even out over time. Many political scientists
say voter attitudes may be shaped more by national economic trends than local or statewide changes. Most Americans probably read or hear more news about the national economy than they do about their local areas, some experts say. And they may not attribute regional economic changes to presidential policies. Overall, the economy hasn’t been growing fast enough to generate more hiring. It expanded at an annual rate of only 1.5 percent in the April-June quarter, down from 2 percent in the first quarter and 4.1 percent in the final three months of last year.

created if more people start looking for work. People who are out of work are counted as unemployed only if they’re looking for a job. In the most closely contested states in the presidential race, unemployment has fallen over the past year. That could help Obama in his contest with GOP candidate Mitt Romney. But it has started to tick up in recent months. In Nevada, the rate rose to 12 percent in July from 11.6 percent the previous month. That’s the highest rate in the nation, though

Troy Streets Alive planned for Aug. 31 For the Troy Daily News
TROY
Downtown Troy will be hopping again from 5-9 p.m. Aug. 31 as Troy Main Street presents Troy Streets Alive, a repeat of last spring’s event. The historic downtown will be teeming with artists, musicians, street sales, dancers and other entertainment as shopkeepers stay open late and offer great deals. Troy Streets Alive will encompass eight blocks and will include an antique show, a Corvette show, dozens of artist booths, street corner live bands, artist demonstrations, dancing performances, cooking and fitness demonstrations, book signings, magicians and more. Approximately 50 downtown businesses will be open late and offering special sales, events and entertainment. New this time — the WACO flight simulator will be available for all to experience a simulated ride on an historic bi-plane. Visitors can also be part of a special Troy slideshow greeting to our overseas troops. Troy Main Street intern Brad Stapleton will be taking pictures of visitors in front of
a solid green background doing different poses as if they were actually on the wings of a WACO plane. Using chroma key technology, Stapleton will alter the background with an image of a WACO plane taking off from the WACO field. The pictures will be scaled, allowing people to be placed on the wings of the airplane, and then compiled in a video slideshow set to patriotic music and sent to troops overseas. The video also will be made available online for public viewing. Restaurants once again are donating free or discounted food to those who present the Troy Streets Alive Saver Card, a $10 card with food from Night Sky, Bakehouse Bread & Cookie Company, La Piazza, The Caroline, Unrefined Café, Winans, Le Doux’s, Leaf & Vine, and the Submarine House. Cards can be purchased in advance from participating restaurants and Troy Main Street at339-5455. The Saver Card offers guests a progressive feast or food scavenger hunt and is only valid during Troy Streets Alive.

Newspaper Knowledge Circle all of the words on a page of the newspaper that have something to do with the sense of touch.

History of magic with magic tricks! Magic has been around for thousands of years and has been passed on and on through the generation to current day magicians. The majority of the principles of magic have been around for hundreds of years and haven’t changed. Originally magic was used as a source of power as well as entertainment. Descriptions of early magical happening were always exaggerated from person to person. Looking back trying to work out what actually happened is almost impossible, because so many people have added their own stories to what really happened. Nowadays, most people don’t believe in magic. They appreciate the skill involved and can’t work out how you are making the magic happen but they know that it is
not real. When in previous times, people did not understand how ordinary people could perform such miracles, they thought they must be witches or wizards. They had no idea that magic was just the ability to deceive people, they actually believed the magic being performed was real. Medicine men, priests and witch doctors used to perform magic in order to demonstrate superhuman powers so normal people would always be in awe of them. Many years ago Sleight of Hand was linked with science and herbalism to create a convincing blend of mysticism. Hypnotism and autosuggestion were also a popular part of magic to be performed. The ritual of burning herbs would act as a sedative to the audience and
make them more receptive to the magician’s tricks. The earliest pictures of magic being performed were of magician Beni Hassan, which were found in a tomb between Cairo and Luxor in Egypt. The pictures depict two people performing the famous cups and balls trick. Some experts, who study Egypt and the Egyptian ways, believe that it is just a game and not a magic trick because magic was taken so seriously, that simple conjuring would not have been accepted in those days. The earliest written account of a magician is the Westcar Papyrus, which is now held in the Berlin State Museum. It was written in about 1700BC. The document tells of three magicians. The first magician – Ubaoner – who disposed of an unfaithful servant by mak-
ing a wax crocodile come alive and drag the servant to the bottom of the nearest pond. The second is Zazamonkh. The story is that some of the King’s wives were playing in a boat, when one of them dropped a pendant into the water. The King called upon a magician who folded the lake in half, drained the water and retrieved the pendant. These two stories are good examples of the Chinese Whisper style of story telling, which has been around for thousands of years, where the story becomes too unbelievable as people have added their own parts to it that they now can only be treated as myths. At the times, there was sure to be something magical happen, but not to this extent.
Famous Magicians Past and Present Harry Houdini – Harry was known as the King of Cards who turned into the most famous escapologist of all time. Houdini was great at manipulating the press and managing to get lots of media attention for his big stunts. David Blaine is becoming a modern day Houdini in the way he is creating big spectacular stunts to gain worldwide media coverage. David Copperfield – Known to many as the great large scale illusionist of all time. David Copperfield has broken records for creating some of the biggest illusions ever performed, like vanishing the Statue of Liberty! Siegfried and Roy – This duo was the highest paid magicians in the world. They performed for more than 30 years in Las Vegas. They had the most spectacular magic show ever created. They were the first magicians to use tigers in their show and even stopped the white tiger from being extinct – that's magic in itself! Ali Bongo – Was the president of the famous Magic Circle until very recently when he sadly passed away in 2009. He is very well respected in the magic community. He has written many books of his own as well as contributing to other books, and advising on television shows. Harry Blackstone – Was a famous American magician of the 20th century. He was known for his stage magic and illusions. He performed many different illusions and began to entertain during the WW II. His son Harry Blackstone Jr. also became a famous magician. Criss Angel – Criss Angel is one of the USA's most famous magicians of today. He has become famous since producing and staring in his hit television series "Mind Freak." He is known for his incredible tricks of the mind performed on normal people. The series has run for three seasons, and now Criss has just signed an eight-year contract with the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas to perform a live stage show with the incredible circus company - Cirque du
Math Magic Tricks For Kids Step By Step As an example of Fun Mathematics Tricks, we will be discussing a simple prediction method called 52 Card Prediction. This is a great trick for both beginner magicians as well as the advanced. Here is a step by step guide for the 52 Card Prediction: 1. Shuffle a deck of cards (make sure it contains all 52 cards or this trick will not work) 2. Have audience look at the card on the bottom of the deck (making sure not to look at it yourself) 3. Next take the top three cards and turn them face up in a row on the table in front of you. 4. Tell an audience member to deal the cards face down below each face up card. 5. The number of cards dealt is based upon the three initial cards turned face up. What ever card is face up, subtract it from 15 and that is how many cards you will deal. So if the first face up card is a 4, 154=11…deal 11 card for that pile. Jack=11, queen=12, king=13, Ace=1 6. Once the three piles are dealt place them face down under the deck. Make sure to leave the 3 original face up cards on the table! 7. Now ask an audience member to add up the total value of the three face up cards (ex: 4+9+queen=25) 8. Now deal out the number of cards from step 7. 9. Now tell the audience you will make their card come forth!!! Count from the top of the face down deck…one, two, three, FOUR!!! 10. Turn over the fourth card to reveal the chosen card! and say “see? i made it come fourth!”

ome fish live alone in the ocean. Others live in close groups called “schools.” Fish travel together in schools to protect themselves from other fish.
All the fish that live together in a school are usually alike in size. Some schools have 25 or less fish, while others might consist of hundreds of millions. • Count the number of fish in the school on this page. Then find that number eight times in the newspaper. While you’re searching, look in your newspaper for numbers less than 25. Circle them in red. Then look for numbers greater than 25. Circle them in green. See who can find the largest newspaper number. • Although fish in schools are usually alike, let’s make this school of fish different. Color three fish blue. Color two fish red. Color two fish green. And color one fish the color of your choice.
Fish in schools often break up at night to search for food. But they regroup during the day to swim. • Make a day and night chart on a piece of construction paper. Clip pictures from the newspaper of things YOU do during the day and things you do at night.
Fins are a fish’s arms and legs. Most fish swim by moving their tail fins from side to side. • Look through your newspaper for examples of the ways people travel. Make a collage with pictures that show different modes of transportation. Are any of them seaworthy?
• Unscramble the letters below for the name of a fish that might like to come to your school!

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Oneonta (N.Y.) Daily Star on intolerance and the Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin: The recent shooting deaths of six victims at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin brings to light once again the struggles we face over achieving tolerance for beliefs other than our own, which is a foundation of our nation’s creation. In this case, those of the Sikh faith were targeted in their own house of worship, whether mistaken by the shooter for Muslims or because they wear distinctive turbans and beards as part of their faith. They were seen and treated as something other than rightful American citizens guaranteed the freedom to practice their religion. The shooter accused of the attacks — 40-year-old U.S. Army veteran Wade Michael Page — was shot by police, then committed suicide, that day. While we may never know his motives, media reports have said Page was a white supremacist who felt action was needed against any that did not fall in line with the betterment of white, Christian males.

But Romney’s new running mate, Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, has not. A 14-year member of Congress, Ryan’s record is crystal clear and brings an ominous new focus to Romney’s meandering campaign. Voters must take notice of the damage it could wreak on basic social service safety-net programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps. The current House Budget Committee chairman, Ryan, 42, is one of the most extreme of the House Republicans on fiscal issues. Considered the mentor of the House tea party obstructionists, he has produced his own budget proposal. Called the “Path to Prosperity,” Ryan’s plan (embraced by House Republicans but fortunately not the Senate) is the classic wolf in sheep’s clothing. Disguised as a deficit-reduction plan, it instead is a guide to dismantling the country’s excellent Medicare health system for senior citizens, abolishing meaningful Medicaid coverage for the very poor and disabled, and privatizing Social Security. It also would make major cuts in food stamps, the last protection of many poor and unemployed citizens against hunger, and make benefits harder to get. But it is Ryan’s budget proposal that is likely to be most alarming to all but ultra-right or tea party voters. The Romney campaign has been quick to point out that Ryan’s budget plan is not necessarily that of Romney, who will be releasing his own plan. Someday. Eventually. Meanwhile, Romney has been virtually silent on details of his budget and tax proposals.

We embrace and (heart) new technology I have had a love/hate relationship with computers ever since Bill Gates first cleared off a work space in his parents’ garage. Among countless others, the primary problem with computers is that they cannot grasp the fine nuance of body English. Unlike the law, computers do not care a fig about intent. Being unmindful of intent is a feature computers have in common with the road to hell. This is not a coincidence. Computers, as well as the traffic directors to perdition, do not care what you meant to do. They care only about the random keys you press in a desperate attempt to get them to do your bidding. You may take my word on this, especially the desperate part. Now, at the insistence of the techno-guru who lives at my house, we have become the proud parents of an iPad. Of course we have the one with the great big memory that is equipped for GPS and book reading and 3G, whatever that is. Even more astonishing than to find myself as the owner of such a device is my ceaseless surprise at how I have embraced this thing. Part of it is that I am utterly and endlessly intrigued
Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist that this skinny little thing is chock full of semiconductors or some other esoteric magical things that let me do all sort of neato stuff I did not realize I wanted to do. For the love of Steve Jobs and all things holy, the iPad has a dotcom key. Let me try to explain that. When you want to type an email address that ends in “.com” you can skip the drama of making four entries and just hit the “dotcom” key on the iPad. Is this great stuff or what? Right up until the moment I read the user guide and discovered this little nugget of information, I was completely unaware of how tedious, how plebian, how very unsatisfactory my previously belabored life had been. All the time I had squan-

dered typing “.com” I am now able to devote to understanding the other 90,000 functions of the iPad. Ninety thousand, you understand, may be a gross underestimation. Since we have purchased it, I have learned just a fraction of the iPad’s uses. Partly this is because my learning curve with electrical devices looks less like a curve than it does a horizontal line. But mostly it is because in the three weeks we have owned it, the iPad’s primary caretaker has had it in his hands for two weeks, six days, and twenty-three hours. Conversation at our house has very nearly screeched to a halt. Occasionally, from the general direction of where Steve is sitting, will come an exclamation such as “Oh wow” or “Cool” or, if he is in a sharing mood, “Look at this.” With a flurry of finger swiping and button pushing, he will give me the briefest of glimpses at the screen while he demonstrates what is wow-worthy or cool. This is done at a furious pace Steve Jobs himself couldn’t follow. Obviously, I am no Steve Jobs so the whole episode leaves me none the wiser about what I just sort of
saw. So far I have mastered the most important aspects of the iPad. I can do the USA Today crossword puzzle, I can almost always get my email and very occasionally send one, and I can download a library book (with a little help). I have also been introduced to and indulged in the App Store. Would you like to know where there is a campground near North Utica, Illinois? There’s an app for that. Would you like to listen to Internet radio? There’s an app for that, too. Would you like to listen to another Internet radio? Just download “I (heart) radio” and live it up. For aviation use, we can get every chart in existence, a weather report to tell us if the sun is shining wherever it is we are going, and a third GPS just in case we still can’t figure out how to get there. I’m usually not given to gushing over the latest, greatest thing but I have to be honest. I (heart) my iPad.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. (AP) — For one family, an exotic summer getaway means living on Mars. Martian time, that is. Since the landing of NASA’s newest Mars rover, flight director David Oh’s family has taken the unusual step of tagging along as he leaves Earth time behind and syncs his body clock with the red planet. Every mission to Mars, a small army of scientists and engineers reports to duty on “Mars time” for the first three months. But it’s almost unheard of for an entire family to flip their orderly lives upside down, shifting to what amounts to a time zone change a day. Intrigued about abiding by extraterrestrial time, Oh’s wife, Bryn, could not pass up the chance to take their kids 13-year-old Braden, 10-year-old Ashlyn and 8-year-old Devyn on a Martian adventure from their home near the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the Curiosity rover was built. “We all feel a little sleepy, a little jet-lagged all day long, but everyone is doing great,” Bryn Oh said, two weeks into the experiment. Days on Mars last a tad longer. Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours the definition of a day. Neighbor Mars spins more lazily. Days there known as sols last 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than on Earth. The difference may not seem like much each day, but it adds up. To stay in lockstep, nearly 800 people on the $2.5 billion project have surrendered to the
Martian cycle of light and dark. In the simplest sense, each day slides forward 40 minutes. That results in wacky work, sleep and eating schedules. Many say it feels like perpetual jet lag. The Oh family broke in slowly. A sign on their front door warns: “On Mars Time: Flight Director Asleep. Come Back Later.” Days before Curiosity’s Aug. 5 touchdown, the children stayed up until 11:30 p.m. and slept in until 10 a.m. In the beginning, it wasn’t much different from a typical day on summer vacation. As the days wore on, they stayed up later and later, waking up in the afternoon and evening. One day last week, the family ate a 3 p.m. breakfast, 8 p.m. lunch, 2:30 a.m. dinner and 5 a.m. dessert before heading off to bed. To sleep when the sun is out, their bedroom windows are covered with aluminum foil or cloth to keep out any sliver of light. In the hallway, a handmade calendar keeps track of the days and schedules are written on an oversized mirror. A digital clock in the master bedroom is set to Mars time. Bryn Oh keeps a meticulous spreadsheet updated with her husband’s work hours and the family’s activities. They wear a wireless device that monitors their steps, calories burned and sleep patterns. When David Oh tells co-workers on Mars time and friends on Earth time about the switch: “Some of them think it’s really cool to have the kids along. Some who worked on other Mars missions have said, ‘You’re crazy.’” Being night owls has

its perks: Braden, Ashlyn and Devyn saw their first shooting star. The family went on night hikes in the hills around the neighborhood. They had a late dinner in Hollywood and gawked at street performers on the Walk of Fame with other tourists. They saw a midnight screening of a zombie film and then went bowling. One night, Bryn Oh took the children biking in an empty parking lot. The youngest shed his training wheels, and for the first time, pedaled around. Of the three, Ashlyn has the most difficulty sticking to the Mars rhythm. She tends to wake up too early and balks at naps. “It’s awesome, but it’s tiring” she said. Braden thrives on the weird hours. What teenager doesn’t like staying up as late as possible and having frozen yogurt at midnight? He started a blog detailing the family’s experiences. Earthly sacrifices were made. The family traded a real vacation for a glorified staycation. Dental appointments, harp lessons and play dates were scheduled around when the kids were awake, which was a moving target every day. Still, they managed to host a party a week after the landing, throwing a Mars-themed backyard barbecue complete with a cake shaped like Gale Crater, Curiosity’s new home, and topped with candles shaped like stars.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Try not to criticize your children’s father in front of them Dear Annie: I am a single mother of six children, the youngest of whom is 12. I divorced their father 10 years ago. I am the custodial parent and receive child support. I don't have any issues with my ex's financial responsibilities. It is visitation that is the problem. Although he's never been one to phone the kids, he used to see them every other weekend and had them for a week's time twice a year. Three years ago, he married a woman with no kids, and that's when visitation became less frequent. Last year, he and his wife had a baby, and they moved 100 miles away into a two-bedroom apartment. When he does have our four minor kids, he arranges a hotel stay. My ex is a consultant and is currently between jobs. He informed me that he cannot afford the hotels now, so visitation is on hiatus. Then he took a weeklong beach vacation. My kids don't appear to think there is anything wrong with his behavior. I think it is abhorrent, but have never said anything to the kids because I don't want them to resent their father. But I also don't want my children, especially my sons, to think that if a marriage doesn't work out, parenting is optional. I get that my ex is completely smitten with his baby, which is fine. But why should he ignore his other children? Do I talk to them about this and let them know it's not acceptable behavior? — Curled Dear Curled: Please do not criticize your ex-husband to your children. They understand exactly what is going on and can feel how unacceptable it is. Instead, try speaking to your ex-husband. Tell him that his older children still need to be part of his life, and by neglecting them, they absorb the message that he no longer loves them. Perhaps you could work together to find a solution. It also would be in everyone's best interest if they form a relationship with their new sibling. Dear Annie: My husband and I were invited to a surprise birthday dinner at a nice restaurant. We certainly were surprised when we were asked to pay our share of the bill. We assumed that when invited, we would be guests. The non-paying kind. When I hosted a dinner for my husband's birthday, I asked people to be my guests, and I paid the bill. So what is the proper approach when you invite people and expect them to pay? And how do we find out in advance that we're not actually guests at these events? — Redondo Beach Dear Redondo: Too many people these days believe it is OK to issue an invitation and then saddle the guests with an invoice. We call that "fundraising." Here is the way to ask people to assume hosting duties: "Several of Bill's friends want to organize a party for him at Lovely Restaurant and split the bill. Would you like to be a part of it?" When you have been invited and the hosting duties are unclear, it is OK to ask questions, such as, "Are we also hosting this event?" or "Do I need to bring my checkbook?" Dear Annie: I am 16, and when I read the letter from "Frustrated in the Midwest," all I could think was, "Are you kidding me?" She has a problem with the grandparents attending the grandkids' events? I have an 18-year-old sister and a 13-year-old brother. We're all involved in various sports and school events. We're grateful that our grandparents think enough of us to be there. I would feel horrible if they didn't want to watch me. It sounds like the mother who wrote this letter is pretty selfish to choose the parents of other schoolkids over her own parents. Saying the grandparents have no friends is all the more reason to invite them to these things. That family sounds a little dysfunctional to me. — Grateful Grandkid Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Don’t let this get you down because it’s just a temporary thing. Be casual about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Work might seem to be drudgery or particularly onerous today. Oh well, we all have these days. This is a poor day to ask older or more experienced coworkers for help. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents might feel they have increased responsibilities with children today. Meanwhile, romantic partners might be disappointed in each other. (Fortunately, this is gone by tomorrow.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with a parent or an older family relative might be a downer today. Just take a serious look at your responsibilities and figure out how to best address them. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Some days the cup is half-empty instead of half-full. It’s really just a mindset, isn’t it? Ironically, tomorrow is a much happier day! Hang in there. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel discouraged about financial matters today. Join the club; we number millions. (We’ve got jackets!) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with stern Saturn. This has a way of squelching enthusiasm and making you focus on duty, hard work and responsibilities. (Sigh.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an excellent day to research anything or apply yourself to routine work you might normally avoid. You’re willing to slog it out to get the job done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone older might rain on your parade today. Don’t take this seriously. (What does this person know?) Stick to your guns, because tomorrow the clouds will disappear. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from authority figures, because they will be negative about your suggestions. However, tomorrow is quite another thing! (Fingers crossed.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans might be disappointing today. Ditto for plans regarding publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Wait until tomorrow for important decisions in these areas. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is not a good day to decide how to divide something, especially an inheritance or anything regarding shared property. People are not forthcoming or generous today; however, tomorrow is an excellent day for this. YOU BORN TODAY You are a very private individual, so if you attain any celebrity, this can pose a problem for you. You even conceal your deeper emotions among your friends. Ironically, however, you often attract interest to you! Nevertheless, you always appear dignified and composed. In the coming year, you will study or learn something valuable that matters to you in the future. Birthdate of: Kim Cattrall, actress; Carrie-Anne Moss, actress; Usain Bolt, record-holding sprinter.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, Aug. 20, the 233rd day of 2012. There are 133 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Aug. 20, 1862, the New York Tribune published an open letter by editor Horace Greeley to President Abraham Lincoln titled “The Prayer of Twenty Millions”; in it, Greeley called on Lincoln to take more aggressive measures to free the slaves and end the South’s rebellion. On this date: • In 1866, President Andrew Johnson formally declared the Civil
War over, months after fighting had stopped. • In 1882, Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” had its premiere in Moscow. • In 1920, pioneering American radio station 8MK in Detroit (later WWJ) began daily broadcasting. • In 1940, during World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid tribute to the Royal Air Force before the House of Commons, saying, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” • Ten years ago: Without firing
a shot, masked German police commandos freed two senior diplomats from armed men who had stormed the Iraqi embassy in Berlin, bringing a bloodless end to a 5-hour hostage drama by a previously unknown group opposed to Saddam Hussein. • Today’s Birthdays: U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is 77. Broadcast journalist Connie Chung is 66. Rock singer Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) is 64. TV weatherman Al Roker is 58. Rock singer Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) is 42. Actress-singer Demi Lovato is 20.
Ranchers lose hope aid will come in time OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It’s hard to tell what frustrates Todd Eggerling more the weather or Congress. Searing temperatures and drought scorched Eggerling’s land in southeast Nebraska, leaving little grass to feed his 100 cattle. Then Congress left for a five-week break without agreeing on aid to help ranchers through one of the worst droughts in the nation’s history. That means it will be September before Eggerling and other ranchers can even hope for disaster aid legislation that includes cash to buy feed until they would normally send their cattle to feedlots or slaughter in the fall or winter. For some, it’s already too late. Out of grass and out of cash, they’ve sold their animals. For others, time is rapidly running out as they try
to hold on. Their decisions will affect the price and supply of meat for months, perhaps years, to come. “I’d like to see every one of the senators and congressmen go out into one of these widespread, droughtstricken areas and spend a day,” said Eggerling, 44, of Martell, Neb. “Walk around and see the effects of what’s going on. Look at the local economies and see what’s going to happen to them. Then they can go back to Washington with a real perspective and say, ‘Hey; we need to do something.’” Most farmers are having a hard year with drought and unusually warm temperatures in the middle of the country burning up everything from corn to cabbage. But ranchers are in a particularly precarious position because most don’t have access to federally subsidized insurance pro-

grams that cover crops like corn and soybeans. Private companies won’t insure grazing land because it’s too hard to predict losses, and ranchers say pilot programs tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture are too expensive and pay out little when there’s a loss, Nebraska Farm Service Agency director Dan Steinkruger said. The White House announced last week that the federal government will buy up to $170 million worth of pork and other meat for food assistance programs in an effort to help drought-stricken farmers. The Defense Department also was expected to encourage its vendors to speed up meat purchases in an effort to prop up prices with a glut on the market expected in the next few months. Feed prices soared amid the drought, and livestock farmers have been selling off animals for months as they run out of money. The meat is expected to hit grocery stores this fall, with prices dropping briefly and then rising early next year.
AP PHOTO
In this photo from Aug. 1, Todd Eggerling, of Martell, Neb., points to some of his cattle grazing on thin pasture. Due to the summer’s record drought and heat his cattle operation is in bad shape. Eggerling would normally graze his 100 head of cattle through September, but the drought has left his pastureland barren. He’s begun using hay he had planned to set aside for next year’s cattle, and is facing the reality that he will have to sell the cattle for slaughter early at a loss. Meanwhile, farmers are getting a fraction of what their animals would normally be worth at sales. “It’s not like we can hold our products like setting a shirt on a shelf until it sells for the price we set,” said
Kristen Hassebrook, a spokeswoman for the Nebraska Cattlemen, a trade group. “We can’t just tell that steer or heifer to stop eating for a couple of days until the market share goes up. If we can’t

feed that animal, we have to sell it for whatever the price is that day.” The Obama administration also has offered lowinterest emergency loans, opened federal land for grazing and distributed $30 million to get water to livestock. Farmers say they’ll take what help they can get, but emergency loans come with a tangle of red tape and aren’t available to everyone. Water is appreciated, but animals need to eat, and even with grazing on some federal land, hay is in short supply. The House approved $383 million in disaster relief earlier this month, but Congress went home before the Senate acted on the bill. The Senate had previously passed a disaster aid package as part of a five-year farm bill, but GOP leaders in the House refused to bring that to a vote because many Republicans object to the nearly $80 billion included for the food stamp program.

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.

AKRON (AP) — LeBron James wants to step inside the Olympic rings a fourth time. Fresh off winning a gold medal in London with the U.S. men’s team, the NBA’s reigning MVP said Sunday that if he’s healthy and if the rules allow he would like to play again at the Rio Games in 2016. James said he’s “done the math, and I’ll be 31,” but he’d love the opportunity to represent his country again. James is one of just three players to be on three U.S. Olympic teams. James was honored during the eighth inning of the minor league Akron Aeros’ game for giving back to his hometown. James was given a warm reception there were a few boos and catcalls when he walked on the field, but a malfunctioning microphone prevented him from addressing the crowd.

Winning in spite Reds overcome poor D, beat Cubs in ninth CINCINNATI (AP) — Xavier Paul kept the Cincinnati Reds winning in spite of themselves. Paul led off the ninth inning with a pinch-hit triple and Ryan Hanigan followed with a single Sunday as Cincinnati overcame three more errors to pull out a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. Paul lined the first pitch from Shawn Camp (3-6) over first base into the right-field corner. Hanigan hit the next pitch to left-center over the drawn-in Chicago outfield. “I knew the ball was down the line and I had a chance for three,” Paul said. “I was trying to bust it out of the box. There’s a big difference between being on third with nobody out and being on second with no outs. On the first pitch, I was looking for a pitch I could drive. I went

out with the mindset that, if I got a pitch I could handle, I was hacking. I got it, and luckily, I got a good swing on it.” Aroldis Chapman (5-4) struck out two in the ninth. Brett Jackson doubled with one out, but was caught trying to steal third. The NL Central-leading Reds took three out of four from the Cubs and finished a 5-2 homestand. Cincinnati made 10 errors in those seven games, leading to seven unearned runs. The Reds went into Sunday tied for second in the NL in fielding, and the sloppy glovework left manager Dusty Baker less than giddy about the win. “Is there stink on the field?” wondered Baker, who said he spoke with his team about tightening up the defense while the

Hardesty having fun Browns’ RB enjoying productive preseason
Reds were in Chicago a week ago. “It was an ugly win, but a win’s a win. We’ve got to tighten up the defense. That’s one thing we pride ourselves in. We’ve just got to keep working. It’s a matter of concentration. We’ve got to go back to total concentration.” The Cubs capitalized on two errors to tie the score. Third baseman Wilson Valdez misplayed Darwin Barney’s potential double-play ball with no outs in the sixth, leading to Alfonso Soriano’s sacrifice fly and Starlin Castro’s RBI single. Jay Bruce dropped Luis Valbuena’s fly ball near the right-field warning track with one out in the eighth inning, allowing David DeJesus to go from first to third. DeJesus
BEREA (AP) — Browns running back Montario Hardesty was slammed down hard and got up smiling. The thud of him hitting the sunbaked turf, a 300-pound defensive lineman crashing down upon him made Hardesty a happy man Sunday. “I feel like a football player again,” he said, flashing a smile seldom seen his first two years in Cleveland. Hardesty is playing while prized rookie Trent Richardson recovers from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Aug. 9. Coach Pat Shurmur remains hopeful that Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick, may play the season opener Sept. 9. “Trent’s getting better every day, so his progress has been outstanding,” Shurmur said. “He’s

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 scored on Soriano’s groundout. The Cubs’ comeback allowed Chris Volstad to avoid the loss, but his streak of consecutive starts without a win was stretched to 24, dating to July 17, 2011, when he was pitching for the Marlins. He allowed seven hits and four runs in six innings. The errors cost Mat Latos his fourth straight win. He gave up six hits
and four runs two earned with six strikeouts in eight innings. “I was spotty here and there,” Latos said. “I didn’t have control of my fastball or command of my curveball or slider. I got by with what I had.” Cincinnati took a 1-0 lead in the first on Bruce’s two-out single. He is batting .406 (13 for 32) during an eight-game hitting streak, which started immediately after he got

two days off. The Cubs tied it in the third on Scott Clevenger’s leadoff walk, Volstad’s sacrifice and DeJesus’ groundrule double. Consecutive singles by Bruce, Todd Frazier and Valdez to lead off the fourth produced the goahead run. Hanigan’s sacrifice fly and Latos’ RBI single made it 4-1. Volstad was hurt as much by bad luck as anything, Cubs manager Dale
Sveum said. “It started with a cueball by Bruce and a (lunging) single that found a hole by Frazier,” Sveum said. “Then he threw a bad pitch to Valdez and got lazy with the pitcher.” Volstad agreed, especially on Latos’ hit. “There was no reason for the pitcher to get a hit there,” Volstad said. NOTES: This was the 13th sellout of the season, a single-season record at
10-year-old Great American Ball Park. The previous record of 12 was set last season. … The Cubs optioned LHP Brooks Raley to Triple-A Iowa, the day after he earned his first big league win. … The Reds optioned RHP Todd Redmond to Triple-A Louisville, the day after he got the loss in his major league debut. … LHP Chris Rusin will be recalled from Iowa to start for Chicago at Milwaukee
on Tuesday. It will be Rusin’s major league debut. … The Cubs claimed LHP Alex Hinshaw off waivers from San Diego. To make room, Chicago transferred RHP Arodys Vizcaino to the 60day disabled list. Hinshaw was 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 31 relief appearances. He had been out of the majors since 2009 before returning this year. The Padres designated him for assignment on Aug. 14.

tion most of the afternoon. The Indians put two runners on in the second, third and sixth but Parker worked out of trouble each time. Cleveland was shut out for the sixth time this season. It was so bad for the Indians that Kotchman got thrown out rounding first base after his high popup fell between a pair of Oakland infielders for a single. Masterson, who had a 1.38 ERA over his previous two starts, allowed nine hits and struck out five while losing to the A’s for the second time this season. Brandon Moss also homered and Cliff Pennington scored three times. The A’s won their fourth in a row and moved 10 games over .500, matching their high mark of the season. “It was two pitches,” Masterson said. “Brandon Moss, I was trying to keep it down and it came up into his swing, and Coco Crisp, we were trying to keep it down and away and it floats up.” The Indians haven’t had a winning road trip since taking two of three from the White Sox in early May. They fell to 1-5 on their current trip heading into a three-game series in Seattle beginning Monday. NOTES: RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (9-12) will take a second try at earning his 10th victory for Cleveland in Monday’s series opener against Seattle. Jimenez has won at least 10 games in each of the previous four years.
NEW YORK (AP) — An associate of San Francisco Giants All-Star Melky Cabrera purchased a website and attempted to create evidence to support a claim that the outfielder inadvertently took the substance that caused a positive drug test, Major League Baseball said. Baseball officials uncovered the scheme as Cabrera prepared his case to challenge the test. Cabrera’s grievance then was dropped, and MLB announced a 50-game suspension Wednesday. The New York Daily News first reported on the scheme Sunday. A team of six-to-seven investigators from MLB spent several weeks working to uncover the plan, a baseball official familiar with the probe told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB didn’t authorize anyone to discuss the matter publicly. It’s the first such case MLB has had and officials hope that uncovering the scheme will discourage similar attempts. The person said baseball had referred the case to federal investigators. A second baseball official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said additional discipline against Cabrera was unlikely. Cabrera, MVP of the All-Star game last month, tested positive for testosterone, MLB said. The person said Juan Nunez, who works with Cabrera’s agents, purchased an existing website and attempted to alter it in a manner that would allow Cabrera to claim the positive test was caused by a substance obtained through the website. The News reported Nunez paid $10,000 for the website. “If you create a new website, you would know when the website was created,” the baseball official said. “At least they were smart enough to buy an existing website.”
The baseball official said MLB investigators were able to use their forensic resources to trace the website back to Nunez. Cabrera is represented by brothers Sam and Seth Levinson of ACES, a sports management company based in Brooklyn. The Levinsons, who did not respond to messages Sunday, told the Daily News that Nunez was a “paid consultant” of their agency. “The MLBPA has clearly stated that ACES has no connection to the website or this matter and, as reported, Juan Nunez has taken full responsibility for his acts,” Seth Levinson told The
Associated Press. “There is nothing more we can add and we will allow our reputation in the industry for 27 years to speak for itself.” The second baseball official said MLB intends to ask the Major League Baseball Players Association, which regulates agents, to follow up on the situation at ACES. Cabrera was enjoying the best season of his big league career, helping the Giants contend for a postseason berth. He was hitting .346 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs, but will miss the rest of the regular season and the start of the playoffs, if the Giants advance that far. A former member of
the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, Cabrera is eligible for free agency after the World Series. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy declined to discuss the allegations against Cabrera before the Giants played the Padres in San Diego. He didn’t defend his player’s actions, either. “You can be world-class parents and your kids can go south or have some issues. We can’t follow guys 24/7, and it comes down to choices. (Cabrera) is a grown man, he’s a veteran,” Bochy said. “These are unfortunate things and we’ll continue to work at cleaning out baseball.”
win the championship, and don’t expect us to compete for the title,” Biffle said. “I don’t care what they say or who they want to talk about, but we will be a factor when it comes down to Homestead. I promise you that.” Kasey Kahne finished third in the 400-mile race, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Marcos Ambrose. It was the 12th victory for Roush Fenway Racing at MIS, breaking a tie with the Wood Brothers for the most wins at the track. Pole sitter Mark Martin was sailing along in the lead for most for the first 65 laps before his race ended in scary fashion.
Bobby Labonte went into a spin while Martin was coming up from behind, and Martin went sliding off toward pit road. His car crashed frighteningly into the end of a short, narrow barrier on the interior side of pit road. The side of Martin’s car was essentially impaled by the end of the wall, just in front of the left rear tire and dangerously close to the driver’s seat. But in the smoky scene that followed, Martin was able to get out and walk away. “I really feel that was a freak accident. I’m not sure you can ever completely fix something like that,” Martin said. “That was a pretty freak angle
that I got it. I’m not sure what you can do. It could have been really bad if I would have got into that hole a little deeper where it would have caught me in the door instead of the crush area back there.” Johnson started from the back, and so did Earnhardt, who was using a backup car after a mishap in practice Saturday. The two Hendrick Motorsports teammates made a solid run of it, but it was Biffle and his No. 16 Ford that emerged at the end. Johnson did not speak to reporters afterward. He was trying to become the first driver to reach four victories this season.
Keselowski and Tony Stewart also have three, and drivers will earn bonus points in the Chase for the Sprint Cup for “regular-season” victories. The Chase starts next month. “The 48 has the most speed and the best history as far as the Chase is concerned,” Keselowski said. “We caught a lucky break that was unfortunate for Jimmie. … He definitely deserved to win the race. Just didn’t play out that way.” It was Biffle’s second win of the year and third career victory at MIS. Keselowski, racing in his home state, settled for second place for the second
straight week. “Just a great day,” Keselowski said. “I don’t know what to say other than I was this close to getting what would have been one of the biggest wins of my career. That would have been really special.” Biffle’s victory was his 18th on the Cup circuit. Earnhardt won at MIS in June, snapping a fouryear losing streak. The last driver to sweep the two Cup races at MIS was Labonte in 1995. Earnhardt bounced back with a nice showing amid adversity. That was after finishing 32nd at Pocono and 28th at Watkins Glen the last two races.

Oakland tops Indians, 7-0 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Indians manager Manny Acta wants his team to relax despite the mounting losses. Shin-Soo Choo and Casey Kotchman each got two hits for Cleveland, but that wasn’t nearly enough in a 7-0 loss to Oakland. Jarrod Parker pitched eight sharp innings while Coco Crisp homered and drove in five runs as the Athletics completed a three-game sweep. “You have to stay positive,” Acta said. “The guys are better than that. They are trying very hard. They need to relax. Its been going on for a while.” The Indians have lost five straight and 18 of their last 22. “The guys have to relax and let the game come to them and then things will start to happen,” Acta said. Choo, who singled twice, said he didn’t see anything special about Parker (8-7). “Our hitters tried too much today,” he said. “A lot of ground balls, swinging early in the count. I think he’s was pretty good, but I think we were too aggressive.” Oakland scored in four consecutive innings against starter Justin Masterson (9-11). Crisp and the hitters provided the biggest spark but Parker’s outing was equally important. The right-hander hadn’t won since going eight innings to beat the Yankees on July 21. Parker didn’t allow a run despite pitching with runners in scoring posi-

He finished 27th. After Johnson’s mishap, there was a caution for oil on the track. Biffle held off Keselowski by 0.416 seconds in the green-whitecheckered finish. Biffle took over the points lead, while Johnson dropped from first to fourth. Matt Kenseth moved up a spot to second despite a 17th-place showing. “I know that a lot of people don’t expect us to

Li rallies to win Cincinnati title For Federer, it was a record fifth Cincinnati title. For Li, it was her first title anywhere since her breakthrough season in 2011, when she won at Sydney and the French Open. Three times this season, she made it to the finals of a tournament. All three times, she lost in three sets. “So I was really hungry for the title,” she said. Li pumped her fist when she finished off another three-set title match, this time coming out on top. She posed for the photos, just like Federer, then raised the trophy. Finally, she headed to a corner of the court to sign
MASON (AP) — China’s Li Na was finishing lunch when the men’s final at the Western & Southern Open ended with Roger Federer posing for photos and raising the pottery trophy for the fifth time. She tried to imagine how it would feel. “I was thinking, ‘OK, I really want to do the same,’” she said. A few hours later, she did it all, and more. Li overcame an awful first set to win her first title of the season on Sunday, beating Germany’s Angelique Kerber 1-6, 6-3, 61 in the final of the Western & Southern Open.
her name dozens of times on those large yellow tennis balls made for autographs. KC and the Sunshine Band’s “That’s the Way (I Like It)” blared through the stadium. Li was in no hurry to move on. “I think it’s a very good beginning,” she said. The final featured players who knocked the Williams sisters out of an already depleted tournament. Defending champion Maria Sharapova dropped out before the start because of a stomach illness. Kerber and Li gave the tournament two of its twists. Kerber, ranked No. 7 in the world, ended Serena
Williams’ 19-match winning streak in the quarterfinals Friday. She followed that by winning a three-set match in the semifinals, and was struggling to keep up by the second set on Sunday. “It was a tough week for me with the match against Serena,” Kerber said. “It was not easy.” Not for Li, either. With Serena watching from the stands, Li beat Venus Williams in a threeset semifinal Saturday night, sending her to the title match after a very trying AP PHOTO week.

Hardesty
Federer wins No. 5
■ CONTINUED FROM 15 about where we thought he’d be, probably a little bit ahead. So he’ll be out here soon.” Regarding Hardesty, the coach said: “I haven’t at all been disappointed in his performance.” Well, except for Hardesty’s costly fumble on Cleveland’s first snap Thursday that led to a Green Bay touchdown. “We can’t have ball security issues,” Shurmur said. “He knows that. He came back after a very bad play, had some good hard runs, did a nice job on pass protection and I he’s making think progress.” Hardesty gained 45 yards on 12 carries with a 1-yard scoring run in Cleveland’s 35-10 win. The 25-year-old Hardesty is not happy that Richardson is out, but is delighted to show the Browns (No. 30 in the AP Pro32) he has recovered from even more serious surgeries on both knees. “I came in with a plan
and that was to show what I can do,” Hardesty said. “Every day is fun. The last two years were no fun at all.” A second-round pick in 2010, Hardesty tore up his left knee in his first preseason game and missed the entire season. Last year, a torn right calf muscle limited him to just 266 yards on 88 carries in 10 games. “I was miserable,” Hardesty said. “I’d watch film of myself and say, ‘That’s not what I want to do.’ I’d see where I was supposed to go and saw myself go somewhere else because I couldn’t get there right. I was healthy, just not really healthy. I could play, but not the way I know I can play. “I feel stronger, quicker, more confident than any time since I’ve been in Cleveland.” Shurmur sees the difference: “This guy got himself healthy and in shape which tells me he’s got some intestinal fortitude. There’s some toughness there.”

World’s best player beats rival in final MASON (AP) — Roger Federer finds a lot to like about Cincinnati — the big crowds for his matches, the quiet time away from the court, the way his game seems to come together on the fast, blue courts. Probably helps that he often takes home the trophy, too. Make it five for Federer. The world’s top-ranked player won a record fifth Cincinnati title Sunday, dominating second-ranked Novak Djokovic in an unprecedented way at the start of a 6-0, 7-6 (7) win for the Western & Southern Open championship. The 31-year-old Swiss star has enjoyed many of his one-week visits. None was better than the latest. “Looking back, it’s just unbelievable,” Federer said. “This was probably the best week for me here in Cincinnati. I didn’t lose a

set. This is very sweet, no doubt about it.” Federer heads to the U.S. Open feeling healthy and fine-tuned. He skipped the Rogers Cup in Toronto last week, giving himself some time to recover from the Olympics in London. He’s also regained the upper hand against one of the players who stands in his way. Djokovic had put together a run of three straight wins over Federer in tournament semifinals, starting with the U.S. Open last year. Federer turned it around by beating the Serb in the semis at Wimbledon last month. They got together in a finals match for the seventh time in their careers Sunday. They’d split the previous six, with Federer winning the only Grand Slam championship match — the U.S. Open in 2007. Quickly, the latest one became a bit of personal history. They’ve never had such a lopsided day together on the court. Ranked No. 1 and No. 2, perhaps, but worlds apart on this day. Federer won the first set in only 20 minutes, allowing Djokovic just 10 points. It was the first time in their 28 career matches that one of them took a set 6-0. For perspective, Federer hadn’t beaten anybody 6-0 in a tournament final since 2007. Both players seemed a bit stunned. “I was hoping for a good start, but not like that,” Federer said. Perhaps Djokovic’s schedule had something to

After the Olympics, he went right to Toronto and won the Rogers Cup last Sunday. He didn’t expect to make it to a second final in eight days. “It was a final today, so I really wanted to win,” Djokovic said. “There is no question about it. Maybe playing couple weeks in a row, four weeks in a row, got to me maybe mentally. Physically it didn’t. I felt OK on the court.” Both reached the final in a dominating style — neither lost their serve or a set during the week. Federer put an end to that right away. Helped by a double-
fault, Federer broke Djokovic’s serve to start the match. Then, aided by two more double-faults, he broke him again to go up 30. Djokovic went to his chair at the break and grabbed a different racket, hoping to change the flow of the match. Made no difference whatsoever. Federer served back-to-back aces that Djokovic couldn’t touch with that new racket. It was domination all around — Djokovic had 10 unforced errors in the opening set, the same number of points he won. The Serb had four double-faults, each one setting up a break point or ending a game.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Defensive linemen John Simon and Garrett Goebel, fullback Zach Boren, linebacker Etienne Sabino and running back Jordan Hall have been selected in a team vote as No. 18 Ohio State’s captains for the 2012 season. Coach Urban Meyer
announced the captains at a team meeting Sunday night. The five have combined for 185 games played and 74 starts with the Buckeyes, with four playing 39 career games apiece. Boren leads the group with 27 starts, while Simon has 26.
Simon becomes just the seventh two-time captain in school history and the first since James Laurinaitis was named captain in 2007 and again in 2008. The Buckeyes, who completed two-a-day practices recently, open the season on Sept. 1 against Miami (Ohio).

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — It’s been four years since Sergio Garcia’s last PGA Tour victory. He’ll have to wait one more day before he can try to finish this one off. And a downpour at the Wyndham Championship meant another day of uncertainty for others on the playoff bubble. Garcia had the lead at 15 under through four holes Sunday when the final round in the last event before the FedEx Cup playoffs was suspended for the day because of heavy rain.
Tim Clark, Jason Dufner and Bud Cauley were 14 under through varying stages of their rounds, and 38 players — half the field — were still on the course when play was stopped. After waiting roughly 2 hours, 20 minutes, officials decided to bring them back to Sedgefield Country Club at 9 a.m. Monday to crown a champion and figure out who qualifies for the playoffs and who doesn’t. It will be the first Monday finish in Greensboro since 1983. Tour officials said more
than 2 inches of rain fell on the course since Saturday night and Mark Russell, the tour’s vice president of rules and competition, said the 15th hole became “unplayable.” • Dick’s Sporting Goods Open ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Willie Wood finally worked his way back to the top. Wood won the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, beating Michael Allen with a par on the first hole of a playoff.
