Castro receives life in prison CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio man convicted of imprisoning three women in his house and raping them repeatedly for a decade blamed his actions on a sex addiction and said he was “not a monster” as he was sentenced Thursday to life without parole plus 1,000 years. Ariel Castro, 53, apologized to his victims before he was sentenced. He blamed a sex addiction, his former wife and even the FBI for not thoroughly investigating the abductions while claiming most of the sex was consensual and that the women were never tortured. “These people are trying to paint me as a monster,” he said. “I’m not a monster. I’m sick.” Just before the sentencing, one of three women he kidnapped stood within feet of Castro and told him his life was

over. “You took 11 years of my life away and I have got it back,” Michelle Knight said. “I spent 11 years in hell. Now your hell is just beginning.” Knight, 32, was the first woman Castro abducted in 2002 after he lured her into his house with the promise of a puppy for her son. Relatives of the other two victims spoke on their behalf. At one point in Castro’s statement, he said, “There was harmony in that home,” a claim Judge Michael Russo dismissed. “I’m not sure there’s anyone in America that would agree with you,” he said. Castro pleaded guilty last week to 937 counts including aggravated murder, kidnapping,

Back to budget drawing board for angry lawmakers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans killed a $54 billion measure for transportation, housing and community development grants Thursday because it exceeded the spending limits required under automatic budget cuts that are the product of Washington’s failure to deal with its fiscal problems.

Consul-General of Japan Kuninori “Matz” Matsuda shakes hands with Troy Mayor Mike Beamish during the 2012 Festival of Nations opening ceremony.

to be featured at Guten Tag: Germany annual Festival of Nations By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Dust off your lederhosen and celebrate the birthplace of Heidi Klum for the 20th annual Festival of Nations on Aug. 17. This year’s featured country is Germany and the Festival of Nations will celebrate in German style, complete with a beer garden. Patrons can enjoy a stein of full of non alcoholic beer while enjoying the views of the Great Miami River Levee like it was the Rhine River during the annual festival along the levee. Mallory Mercer, this year’s festival’s chairperson and an intern with Leadership Troy, said the annual festival is a family-friendly event which celebrates the area’s diverse cultures. “It’s a great festival,” Mercer said. “There will be lots of food, entertainment and dancing.” Mercer said its a unique festival where people can enjoy food from all over the world including Mexico, Italy, Croatia and Japan. “It’s a really fun way to learn about other cultures from all over the world and the people who live in our community and their heritage,”

• Celebrating 20 years of food, family and diversity The Festival of Nations was originally put together by a group of local residents headed by Ruth Jenkins, wife of then-Mayor Peter Jenkins, under the auspices of the Mayor’s International Council. That important initiative continues under current Mayor Michael Beamish and the Festival Committee. The purpose is to recognize and celebrate the cultural diversity of Troy and surrounding area and to promote meaningful international relationships. The Festival has always been funded by donations including support from the Troy Foundation, City of Troy, and Troy Area Chamber of Commerce. Mercer said. The festival begins at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17 and lasts until approximately 8 p.m. The festival moved from the downtown area to the levee near Troy Memorial Stadium for more space and booths. The city’s stage will have bands and entertainment throughout the festival as well. A parade of nations will also be part of the activities, Mercer said. The parade of nations is set for 4 p.m. “People will be dressed in their native clothing and have their nations flags during the festival,”she

said. Individual delegations prepare authentic, traditional food items representative of their countries. Also, there is a food court where local restaurants share favorite ethnic food dishes, according to the festival’s website. The festival is free and open to the public. Each delegation will have plenty of food and relics to enjoy from their country. Activities range from face-painting to native dancing for all to enjoy.

One of the magazines labeled Sam “the Brad Pitt of the Phillipines.” When Sam has time, he competes in motorcycle racing as well, to the chagrin of his parents. “I love racing and don’t want them to worry about me,” Sam said with a smile. Ada, who just turned 30 and is a 2001 Tippecanie alum, followed in Sam’s footsteps after serving 10 years in the Army National Guard that included a tour in Iraq, soon became a top model. She has been in the Philippines for two years and is also a standout rugby player in Manila, according to Elsie. Ada and Sam were both high school athletes; her claim to prep fame was being one of the first girls to report to the Devils’ football practice. She even became a junior varsity starter in her senior year. “I was a halfback on offense and a strong side safety on defense. I had a lot of fun … and held my own,” Ada said. “Presently, I haven’t reached out beyond modeling and I am happy.” Sam was a varsity wrestler. They were also both medal winners in the Junior Olympics in ice skating competition. “They have always been ambitious and have worked hard to accomplish their paths in life,” father Lloyd said. Lloyd and Elsie operate the Eagle Cloud Material Handling Equipment Co. in Tipp City. And, for the record, Sam recently appeared on a billboard on the outskirts of Manila. And the Milby Mob marches on.

tion steady. That makes this new oil far more expensive to get out of the ground than what’s known as conventional oil — large pools of oil and gas in relatively easyto-drill locations. Those reserves have always been hard to find, but now they are all but gone outside of the Middle East. David Vaucher, who tracks oil production operating costs at IHS CERA, says oilfield operation costs are now at a record high. “The fields are more remote and the resource conditions are more extreme,” he says. New oil projects in the U.S. and Canada, where production is growing faster than anywhere in the world, require high oil prices to be profitable, Vaucher says. In order to make an industry average return, a new production project in the Canadian oil sands requires a price of $81 per barrel. For an onshore U.S. field, it’s $70 per barrel, but it ranges from $45 to $95 per barrel, depending on the rate of oil flow. In the Gulf of Mexico, it’s $63. In the Middle East, just $23 per barrel. Many oil analysts predict that relatively weak growth in world oil demand coupled with rising production from newfound fields will make for flat or lower oil prices in the years to come. But if big oil companies can’t earn strong profits at today’s oil prices, it may mean prices will have to rise higher to convince them

it’s worth the risk to continue to aggressively explore new fields. If they worry they can’t make enough money, they’ll cut back. Oswald Clint, an analyst at Bernstein Research, said in a recent report that oil prices can hold steady and even rise into 2015. Among his reasons: The growth of U.S. oil production is slowing because the best new American fields have been tapped, and the number of rigs probing new fields has flattened out. One of the more difficult places for Big Oil lately has been onshore in the U.S., which is in the midst of a historic oil boom being driven by the new discoveries. American production is now rising faster than any time since the 1950s, putting the nation on track to become the world’s biggest oil producer. But major oil companies such as Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) , Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and BP were late to get into the U.S. shale oil game, and therefore had to pay high prices to acquire promising land. And the drilling is hugely expensive, too. Because the oil is thinly dispersed and hard to squeeze out, dozens of wells must be systematically drilled over an area to get to the oil. Drillers are making technological leaps that are reducing some costs, but those are being countered by higher costs to

lease equipment, buy supplies and pay workers rise that are shrinking profits. Smaller oil companies like EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) and Continental Resources (NYSE:CXP) that found these troves early were able to acquire the best acreage for relatively low prices. Because oil production is rising for these smaller companies, profits can rise even if costs increase. For a major oil company like Exxon or Shell, even big increases from dozens of wells in Texas or North Dakota aren’t enough to make up for declining production in giant fields around the globe. Royal Dutch Shell announced Thursday that oil production fell 1.3 percent from a year earlier and profit fell 57 percent, largely because of a write-down of the value of the leases on U.S. land that the company thought held large amounts of oil or other liquid hydrocarbons. “Production curves are less productive, less positive shall we say, than we originally expected,” Shell CFO Simon Henry said on a call with investors. Shell CEO Peter Vosser said that while U.S. shale oil production was proceeding well in general, the company plans to sell stakes in four or five of the nine regions where it has holdings because it hasn’t been able to get as much oil to flow as it thought it could.

Experts: Health risks higher from packaged greens DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The outbreak of a stomach bug two states have linked to bagged salad came as little surprise to food safety experts, who say the process of harvesting, washing and packaging leafy greens provides numerous opportunities for contamination. Although nutritionists stress the chances of getting sick from vegetables are low compared to the dangers of a diet without them, packaged salads heighten the risk because leaves from several batches often are mixed together. “The washing and comingling of different batches of lettuce means a hazard that may appear in one field can show up in lots of bags of lettuce because of the common bath,” said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of the food safety program for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer health advocacy organization based in Washington. Officials in Iowa and Nebraska say a packaged salad mix con-

taining iceberg and romaine lettuce, carrots and red cabbage was infected with cyclospora, a parasite blamed for sickening 397 people in 16 states. It’s not clear whether the produce also was to blame for the outbreak in the other states. Last year the Food and Drug Administration issued more than 20 recalls for packaged salads, romaine lettuce or spinach. Most were due to tests finding listeria or E. coli bacteria, both of which can cause serious illness. However, of the 693 food product recalls between October 2011 and September 2012 — the last available year of records — only about 15 pertained to bagged lettuce or salads, according to FDA data. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that one in six Americans — 48 million people — get sick from foodborne illnesses each year. About 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die.

Iowa and Nebraska health officials said Tuesday that a prepackaged salad mix is the source of a cyclospora outbreak that sickened more than 178 people in both states. Cyclospora is a rare parasite that causes a lengthy gastrointestinal illness.

Castro n Continued from page 1 rape and assault. A deal struck with prosecutors Friday spared him from a possible death sentence for beating and starving a pregnant victim until she miscarried. During his statement, Castro pointed out that the FBI talked with his daughter, who was friends with one of the women he kidnapped. “The FBI let these girls down when they questioned my daughter,” he said. “They failed to question me.” He also said he had never had any trouble until he met his wife, who has since died. “I was never abusive until I met her,” he said. The judge told Castro that there was no place in the world for people who enslave others. “These women never gave up hope,” Russo said. “In fact, they prevailed.” As Castro was led away, Knight watched, smiling. Thursday’s hearing gave prosecutors a chance to detail some of Castro’s assaults and law enforcement a chance to describe the jury-rigged prison he built in his ram-

of being chained to poles in the basement, to a bedroom heater or inside a van. One woman was forced to wear a motorcycle helmet while chained in the basement and, after she tried to escape, had a vacuum cleaner cord wrapped around her neck. Castro repeatedly starved and beat one of the victims each time she was pregnant, forcing her to miscarry five times. He forced the same woman on threat of death to safely deliver the child he fathered with another victim on Christmas Day 2006. The same day, prosecutors say, Castro raped the woman who helped deliver his daughter. The women quickly escaped after Amanda Berry kicked out the door panel on May 6 and Castro was arrested within hours. The women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Berry, 27, made a surprise onstage appearance at a rap concert last weekend, and a second victim, Gina DeJesus, 23, has made a few televised comments. Knight appeared with Berry and DeJesus in a video in early July thanking the community for its support.

shackle home. FBI agent Andrew Burke said Castro created a makeshift alarm system and chained the women inside bolted bedrooms. Bedroom windows were boarded shut from the inside with heavy closet doors and doorknobs had been removed and replaced with multiple locks, he said. The house was divided in ways to make it more secure and to hide the existence of rooms, he said. Burke also testified that Castro would occasionally pay his victims after raping them. But he then would require them to pay him if they wanted something special from the store. Responding to questions from prosecutors, Cleveland police detective Andrew Harasimchuk said that the women all described being physically, sexually and emotionally assaulted for years. He said all three women were abducted after Castro offered them a ride and that each was chained in his basement and sexually assaulted within a few hours of being kidnapped. Some horrific details of the women’s ordeal had already emerged, including tales

NEW YORK (AP) — New troves of oil have been found all over the globe, and oil companies are taking in around $100 for every barrel they produce. But these seemingly prosperous conditions aren’t doing much for Big Oil: Profit and production at the world’s largest oil companies are slumping badly. Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP (TSX:BP’U) all posted disappointing earnings this week. Chevron is expected to post a profit decline Friday. All of them face the same problem: The cost to get newfound oil from remote locations and tightly packed rock is high and rising. And it takes years and billions of dollars to get big new production projects up and running. The higher extraction costs could translate to higher oil and gasoline prices for consumers. Strong production growth at an oil company can offset higher operating costs, “but when production is flat or declining it’s a big hit,” says Brian Youngberg, an analyst at Edward Jones. “Even though oil prices are $100 or higher, the returns on investment aren’t what they used to be.” The new oil being found and produced is in ultra-deep ocean waters, in sands that must be heated to release the hydrocarbons, or trapped in shale or other tight rock that requires constant drilling to keep produc-

PERSPECTIVE

The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune on truth riles up Venezuela Facing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a few days ago, Samantha Power, President Barack Obama’s nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, surely didn’t expect to stir up the proverbial hornet’s nest. Power told the committee that as America’s U.N. envoy, she believed in “contesting” what she described as a “crackdown on civil society being carried out in countries like Cuba, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela.” That was truthful, if not exactly an exercise in delicate diplomacy, and it enraged Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro, the handpicked successor of the late Hugo Chavez, the flamboyantly antiAmerican socialist. … He demanded an apology. Maduro, a former bus driver who was elected in April after Chavez succumbed to cancer, had called for improved relations with Washington. In June his foreign minister, Elias Jaua, met Secretary of State John Kerry, who described their meeting as the “beginning of a good, respectful relationship.” Jaua announced that his government had sent a letter of protest to the American embassy in Caracas. The United States needn’t overreact to Maduro’s bravado, but it needn’t apologize for Power’s accurate characterization of Venezuela. We suspect all this will fade away. Despite the ill will generated by Chavez, the United States remains a critical trading partner for Venezuela. And the United States is a major importer of Venezuela’s major export, oil. Maduro’s tough talk probably is no more than that. In any event, such threats shouldn’t keep American diplomats from calling out oppressive regimes, however thin-skinned they may be. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle on less talk, more action for President Obama: President Barack Obama loves to show off his basketball prowess now and then. His favorite move on the court: the pivot. The Wall Street Journal wrote this past week that “President Obama made his fourth or fifth, or maybe it’s the seventh or eighth, pivot to the economy.” By another reporter’s count, the president has pivoted to supposedly make the economy a priority 19 times now. That’s a lot of talk with very little action. If it’s really a priority, why must the topic be pivoted to so much? What it all means to you is that this president is more concerned with using the sputtering economy as a talking point to occasionally change the subject. And to somehow blame Republicans for his record. In short, Barack Obama has seen his track record, and he’s not going to take it anymore! Obama claimed in his latest pivot to the economy that he wants to work with Republicans to get things going. But skipping out of Washington to make empty campaign-style, beat-opponents-overthe-head speeches won’t get the job done on jobs. President, for goodness’ sake, you are term-limited; stop campaigning and start governing! Meet with Congress and find some common ground on the economy. …. Obamacare is a proven job killer, and the worst of it hasn’t even been implemented. How can it not be a job killer? It disincentivizes business growth and having full-time workers, and is raising the costs of health insurance drastically. It’s so ominous that Obama had to delay full implementation of it until 2015 — and even his hard-left union friends are sending up warning flares about “Obamacare’s” potential to destroy the middle class. Obama’s much-vaunted “economic” speech was more about how to distribute the pie, rather than how to grow it for everyone. Being an inveterate sports fan, you would think the president would appreciate the beauty of a system based on merit and individual ability, achievement and reward. Why is a meritocracy in sports a good thing, but not elsewhere?

MOSCOW (AP) — Defying the United States, Russia granted Edward Snowden temporary asylum on Thursday, allowing the National Security Agency leaker to slip out of the Moscow airport where he has been holed up for weeks in hopes of evading espionage charges back home. The National Security Agency leaker now has plenty of room to roam throughout the sprawling country and continue the bizarre journey that has stretched across half the planet — from Hawaii to Hong Kong to the Russian capital. Russia appears to have reckoned ending Snowden’s airport limbo was worth intensifying a political stand-off with United States. The White House said it was “extremely disappointed” and warned that the decision could derail an upcoming summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move places a significant new strain on alreadycorroded relations with Washington. Putin has been increasingly resentful at U.S. criticism and what he calls meddling in Russian affairs. The decision gives Russia

cover to depict itself as a defender of human rights, pointing a finger to deflect criticism of its own poor record and tough crackdown on dissent. Snowden himself made that argument. In a statement from WikiLeaks, which has been assisting him, Snowden was quoted as saying that “over the past eight weeks we have seen the Obama administration show no respect for international or domestic law, but in the end the law is winning.” “I thank the Russian Federation for granting me asylum in accordance with its laws and international obligations,” he said. Snowden left his Hawaii home for Hong Kong about three weeks before revealing himself as the source of reports in The Guardian newspaper of a vast surveillance program by the National Security Agency. As Washington put pressure on Hong Kong to extradite him, Snowden boarded a flight to Moscow on June 23, booked on another flight from Moscow to Cuba. But he never got on that flight. The United States had cancelled his passport, so he lacked documents both to board the plane or enter

Russia — leaving Snowden stranded in an airport noman’s land. The U.S. has demanded that Russia send Snowden home to face prosecution on espionage chargesPutin dismissed the request and made clear with the granting of asylum he has no intention of changing his mind. “We are extremely disappointed that the Russian government would take this step despite our very clear and lawful requests in public and private that Mr. Snowden be expelled and returned to the United States,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney. Some responses from Washington were hotter. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham called the asylum grant “a game-changer in our relationship with Russia … a sign of Vladimir Putin’s clear lack of respect for President Obama.” There’s no clue about where Snowden will live in Russia, or what he will do. Whether Snowden, an advocate of openness and human rights, will adapt well to a country widely criticized for stifling dissent and stepping on human rights is guesswork as yet.

Study: Hotter temperatures lead to hotter tempers WASHINGTON (AP) — As the world gets warmer, people are more likely to get hot under the collar, scientists say. A massive new study finds that aggressive acts like committing violent crimes and waging war become more likely with each added degree. Researchers analyzed 60 studies on historic empire collapses, recent wars, violent crime rates in the United States, lab simulations that tested police decisions on when to shoot and even cases where pitchers threw deliberately at batters in baseball. They found a common thread over centuries: Extreme weather — very hot or dry — means more violence. The authors say the results show strong evidence that climate can promote conflict. “When the weather gets bad we tend to be more willing to hurt other people,” said economist Solomon Hsiang of the University of California, Berkeley. He is the lead author of the study, published online Thursday by the journal Science. Experts in the causes of war gave it a mixed reception. The team of economists even came up with a formula that predicts how much the risk of different types of violence should increase with extreme weather. In war-torn parts of equatorial Africa, it says, every added degree Fahrenheit or so increases the chance of conflict between groups— rebellion, war, civil unrest — by 11 percent

to 14 percent. For the United States, the formula says that for every increase of 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit, the likelihood of violent crime goes up 2 percent to 4 percent. Temperatures in much of North America and Eurasia are likely to go up by that 5.4 degrees by about 2065 because of increases in carbon dioxide pollution, according to a separate paper published in Science on Thursday. The same paper sees global averages increasing by about 3.6 degrees in the next half-century. So that implies essentially about 40 percent to 50 percent more chance for African wars than it would be without global warming, said Edward Miguel, another Berkeley economist and study co-author. When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change updates its report next year on the impacts of global warming, it will address the issue of impacts on war for the first time, said Carnegie Institution scientist Chris Field, who heads that worldwide study group. The new study is likely to play a big role, he said. Hsiang said that whenever the analyzed studies looked at temperature and conflict, the link was clear, no matter where or when. His analysis examines about a dozen studies on collapses of empires or dynasties, about 15 studies on crime and aggression and more than 30 studies on wars, civil strife or intergroup conflicts. 40138637

Back to budget drawing board for angry lawmakers WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans killed a $54 billion measure for transportation, housing and community development grants Thursday because it exceeded the spending limits required under automatic budget cuts that are the product of Washington’s failure to deal with its fiscal problems. The bill fell six votes short of the 60 required to overcome a GOP filibuster. The vote was a setback for majority Democrats seeking to protect money for road and bridge repairs and housing vouchers for the poor. Republicans did not want to retreat from a deficit-cutting deal two years ago that promised $2.1 trillion in deficit cuts over 10 years. Those automatic cuts, which total $1.2 trillion through 2021, are the result of the government’s inability to follow up on that deal. “If we … move forward, it will be widely viewed throughout the country that we are walking away from a commitment we made on a bipartisan basis, that the president signed just two years ago, that we would reduce spending by this amount of money,” said Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. So Congress returns to the drawing board on the budget as lawmakers prepare for their five-week summer break. The new budget year begins on Oct. 1 and it’ll take a temporary bill to prevent a government shutdown. The Senate vote came a day after far more austere companion legislation was pulled from House consideration, with speculation that GOP leaders lacked the votes to pass it. “The numbers in the House bill were not realistic,” said GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a main player on the Senate legislation and the only Republican to support moving ahead with it. “The numbers in our bill are not unrealistic.” The likely failure of both measures illustrates the shortcomings of the budget strategies by Republicans who run the House and Democrats who are in

ers when they return to the Capitol in September. GOP leaders tried to set up a budget showdown earlier because of the need to pass legislation increasing the government’s $16.7 trillion borrowing cap. But the government’s better-thanexpected financial performance has delayed that fight. President Barack Obama says he won’t negotiate over the debt limit like he did two years ago, a promise he repeated to congressional allies in private meetings Wednesday on Capitol Hill. The uncertainty on the transportation measures reflects broader budget dysfunction. All sides want to reverse the crippling sequestration cuts, but a partisan impasse shows no sign of breaking. Obama and Democrats are pressing for tax increases, while Republicans are demanding cuts to programs such as Medicare and food stamps. Cuts in the House transportation bill grew because of Republican move to trim an additional $40 billion-plus from domestic programs and transfer the money to the Pentagon. That left the bill $10 billion below the Senate’s. The chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said halting debate reflected a failure of Republicans to follow up on their promises. “The House, Senate and White House must come together as soon as possible on a comprehensive compromise that repeals sequestration, takes the nation off this lurching path from fiscal crisis to fiscal crisis, reduces our deficits and debt, and provides a realistic topline discretionary spending level to fund the government in a responsible — and attainable — way,” Rogers said. The White House cited what it said was the shortcomings of the GOP budget strategy. “What we learned yesterday is substantively, people cannot accept the depth of these cuts,” White House budget director Sylvia Burwell told reporters Thursday.

AP Photo Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and other Senate Democratic leaders, speak to reporters after Senate Republicans killed a $54 billion funding bill for transportation, housing and community development grants because it exceeded spending limits required under automatic budget cuts, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday,. From left to right are Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., chair of the Senate Budget Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Sen.

charge of the Senate. At issue are the 12 spending bills passed each year by Congress for the day-to-day working of the government. Democrats chose the transportation measure as their first attempt to pass an appropriations bill, because of its money for popular programs such as road and bridge projects and community development block grants that boost local economies. “We had a bill that would have put people to work, fixed bridges and highways, improved public safety,” said Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, who leads the Senate Appropriations Committee. “It would have gotten America moving. It would have gotten America working.”

Without a broader budget agreement in place, the House and Senate have tried to advance starkly different versions of the 12 annual appropriations bills. The result: little success in the House, virtually none in the Senate. The Senate measures reflect higher budget levels than originally called for in the deal two years ago. It called for automatic cuts, known as sequestration, if lawmakers could not pass follow-up deficit cuts. House bills have stuck to those sequestration levels, which are more than $90 billion lower than the Senate’s. That’s a huge difference in the approximately $1 trillion budget for daily agency operations. The problem will confront lawmak-

W ANDIInternational NTERNATIONAL WEATHER eather and TODAY IN HISTORY

AP Photo A couple uses an umbrella as it rains Ponce, Puerto Rico, Wednesday. Puerto Ricans are used to wet tropical weather, but the past few weeks have been the wettest ever recorded in the U.S. island territory.

Puerto Rico sees more rain, wetter times to come SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Ricans are used to wet tropical weather, but the past few weeks have unleashed a series of storms of almost biblical proportions, destroying hundreds of homes, sweeping away cars and leaving tens of thousands without power. It has been the wettest July ever recorded in the U.S. island territory, with 14 inches (36 centimeters) so far drenching the capital. More rain fell on July 18 than had ever come down in a 24-hour period. The rain rarely stopped that day, with 9 inches (23 centimeters) pelting the San Juan area. People fled homes and cars as water rushed through doors and then windows. Rising floodwaters stranded drivers on highways turned lagoons. Some commuters were forced to use kayaks and paddle boards. “I’ve lived here 71 years, and this was the worst,” said Andres Colon as he tried to repair his flooded car in a working class San Juan neighborhood of Santurce. “It came fast and without warning.” The storm severely damaged some 500 homes and caused about $1.5 million in losses, according to initial estimates, said San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz. The territory is just over two months into a sevenmonth rainy season, and it is already the second wettest start of the year for the region, even though no major tropical storm or hurricane has hit. Nearly 50 inches (127 centimeters) of rain have fallen so far, and more is likely on the way: Remnants of Tropical Storm Dorian were projected to slog through the Caribbean a bit north of the island by

Monday or Tuesday. The deluge follows hard on a string of other wet years. The rainiest year on record was 2010, when 89.5 inches (227.33 centimeters) fell. The island’s totals have been trending upward, in part because of warmer ocean temperatures and frequent occurrences of the weather phenomenon known as La Nina, which leads to a more active hurricane season, according to the National Weather Service. Nearby Cuba has been drenched as well. Authorities reported that June was the wettest on record for the western part of the island. In the first six days of that month alone, 16.6 inches (42.16 centimeters) of rain fell, 188 percent of the historic average for the full month, with isolated accumulations as high as 22 inches (55.88 centimeters). Hundreds of homes were flooded along with croplands, highways and tobacco leaf-curing buildings in the western province of Pinar del Rio, known as the cradle of Cuba’s tobacco industry. In Puerto Rico, the wet weather has exposed an uncomfortable truth: The territory’s roads, bridges, tunnels and drainage systems are ill equipped for the increasingly heavy storms likely to come due to climate change. “It’s an urgent issue, not only because of the problems we’ve had, but because of the problems we’re going to have,” said Gabriel Rodriguez, president of the nonprofit Puerto Rico Planning Society. “Those kind of extreme events are going to become more common, and the losses and problems associated with them will become greater.”

In 1964, the destroyer USS Maddox suffered light damage from North Vietnamese patrol torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup. (Dean ended up serving four months.) In 1985, 135 people were killed when a Delta Air Lines jetliner crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Aug. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to explore real-estate deals. It's also an excellent day to entertain at home and enjoy family gatherings. People will be upbeat and mutually generous to each other. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Feelings of optimism buoy your spirits today. You feel confident about your future and not afraid to make big plans. "I'm going places!" GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an excellent day for business and commerce. Trust your moneymaking ideas. However, if shopping, you might go overboard spending on extravagance and luxury. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a feel-good day for you. The Moon is in your sign, lined up with lucky Jupiter. You feel expansive, generous and warm to everyone. Enjoy your day! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Spiritual matters will catch your interest today. You might enjoy discussions with others or, alternatively, a chance for solitude in beautiful surroundings. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A popular day! Rally your troops with flourish, because people are glad to see you and you're glad to see them. Plus, you're open to doing something different! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work-related travel might happen today. Whatever you do, you're temporarily high-viz. In fact, even your private business might be public. (Be aware of this.)

Art adventure Children can get creative at Saturday event

By AMY MAXWELL

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

TIPP CITY — Area children will get the chance to “play” while exploring the culinary, performing, literary and visual arts thanks to a new option at the Tipp City Marketplace. “The Children’s Art Adventure: PLAY!,” presented by the Tipp City Area Arts Council will take place at the Marketplace (formerly the farmers market) located in downtown Tipp City from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Organizer Renee Matsunami, originally from Sunnyvale, Calif., is excited about bringing the event to Tipp City. “Sunnyvale had a similar program called Hands on the Arts that we took my daughter to,” Matsunami said. “I believe the program is in its 23rd year of existence, in fact, a friend of mine who takes her children there can remember going when she was a little girl. I’m hoping it will become the same thing in this area, sort of like a family tradition.” Matsunami worked on a board with five other TCAAC members to plan the event. The art adventure, which will be located at Third and Broadway streets, is geared for children ages 3-14 and will feature many projects that kids can create and can be used to play with when they take them home. The projects include: plastic egg maracas, duct tape checkerboards, super hero capes, graffiti art demonstration, zumbatonic, domroo drums, paper crafting, cupcake decorating, recycled crafts, poetry, ceramic tile painting, tie dye, finger puppets, hoop fit (hula hooping), cheerleading, balloon ping pong and tie dying. All of the crafts happen on the same day, so the child

artists can pick and choose what interests them and which ones they want to participate in. “It will really be a great opportunity for kids to make a ton of fun projects and also learn a new talent,” Matsunami said. There will be many local artists hosting art stations including several teachers or instructors from Tippecanoe Schools, Kristy from Sweets by Kristy, Rusty Harden from Studio 14, Tipp City Enrichment Program, Child Care Choices, Tipp City Public Library, Tipp Monroe Community Services, Fit 2B Me, Community Minded Women as well as others. The program is sponsored by monies from TCAAC, the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, the Ellen Kaye Cotterman Fund and local businesses. “The Downtown Tipp City Partnership donated a big portion for the event and they are in charge of running the Tipp City Marketplace,” Matsunami said. “It will be a really fun day for the kids. The folks from Crossroads Church will be grilling hot dogs and have other kidfriendly snacks available for purchase.” Children that attend must be accompanied by an adult and the cost of the program is $5. Participants can pre-register for the event at the Tipp Monroe Community Services office located at 3 E. Main St. in Tipp City. Registrants will be given a receipt to claim their wristband when arriving at the event. The wristband allows unlimited participation for the children. Children also will receive a bag to put all of their projects in. For more information, contact Renee Matsunami at childrensartadventure@gmail.com, or call Tipp Monroe Community Services at (937) 667-8631.

Where credit is due: CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson was quick to pass along credit for Cleveland’s eighth straight victory to the guy he provided him all the support he needed in a 6-1 decision over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. “The story’s about Ryan Raburn doing his thing,” Masterson said. “That was pretty cool to see.” Raburn homered twice and drove in four runs as the Indians, who have won 13 of 17, completed a four-game sweep of the reeling White Sox. Raburn, who has played a major role off manager Terry Francona’s bench, hit a two-run homer in the third, had an RBI single in the fifth and belted a leadoff home run in the seventh. He has 13 homers and 37 RBIs in 173 at-bats while playing mostly against left-handed starters. “I prepare myself the same way every day whether I’m playing or not,” Raburn said. “This is one of those years where everything is going right for me. I’m trying to hold on to it and ride it as long as I can.”

A long time coming Carter’s induction an overdue honor By JOSH BROWN Sports Editor

Tiptoeing both feet at the sideline and successfully pulling in a pass in the splitsecond before falling out of bounds. Leaping to his feet after being whistled down and sticking his arm straight out to signal a first down. Jumping in front of two defenders to corral a ball in the end zone with his fingertips. Those are the images of what set Carter apart. After missing the cut five times for the Hall of Fame, Carter was finally voted in. He’ll be inducted on Saturday with this year’s group about a 3½-hour drive from where he grew up in Middletown, Ohio. “I catch everything that the normal people catch and I catch a few things that no one catches. That’s what I used to say to myself before every game,” Carter said recently. Four of his former Vikings teammates, Chris Doleman, John Randle, Randall

Two major events, practically back-to-back, turned me into the sports fan that I am today. The first was Mookie Wilson’s dribbler through Bill Buckner’s legs during the 1986 World Series. That was the moment that made me a sports fan at all. The second was Super Bowl XXI, when Bill Parcells’ New York Giants picked apart the Denver Broncos. That game turned me on to sports other than baseball, and Parcells’ attitude on the sidelines and his team’s style of play — especially Phil Simms’ “knock me down as hard as you want, I’ll just get up again and beat you on the next play” mentality at quarterback and the team’s overall focus on hard-nosed, brutal defense — basically determined the kinds of teams that I would root for the rest of my life. In a sense, I owe those moments and those men the life I have right now. If not for them, I would not be writing about sports for a living. So it’s kind of funny, then, that Saturday when I go to Canton to cover the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony — which Parcells will be part of — that I’m much more excited to see another player get in. Cris Carter — who actually was a thorn in my Giants’ side with both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings for many years while I was growing up — will finally be enshrined in the Hall of Fame that day, as well. He has been passed over for induction five times now, and at long, long last, he’s getting the honor that he’s deserved this whole

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter (80) celebrates his 6-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jeff George during the third quarter against the Dallas Cowboys Nov. 8, 1999 in Minneapolis. Carter will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton on Saturday.

Clutch Carter Big plays set Hall of Famer apart MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cris Carter’s entry into the exclusive club in Canton will be commemorated with a bronze head-andshoulders bust, like all of the Pro Football Hall of Fame members before him. His hands might be a more appropriate body part to feature. Over 16 seasons in the NFL, with fire and grit and flair, Carter exemplified just what a wide receiver is paid to do: catch the ball. After overcoming some well-publicized troubles in his early years, Carter became a highlight-reel fixture and unflappable performer in the 1990s for the Minnesota Vikings. He wasn’t the fastest, the biggest or the most elusive of the bunch, but he made happen some of the most impossible grabs and often did so at the most opportune times.

Goodell satisfied Browns owner handling probe

Simpson grabs lead at Bridgestone So much for course knowledge. Webb Simpson, playing his first competitive round at Firestone Country Club, shot a 6-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead in the Bridgestone Invitational. See Page 14

BEREA (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed confidence in Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who is currently embroiled in a scandal involving fraud at his family-owned business. Goodell visited Cleveland’s training camp on Thursday to launch a program between the league and Pop Warner with USA Football’s Heads Up Football Program. Following a clinic with young players, Goodell said he’s satisfied with Haslam’s handling of the federal investigation at Pilot Flying J, and added the league has no plans to intervene at this time. “I don’t think it’s a matter for us at this moment,” Goodell said. The commissioner said Haslam has kept him informed since the outset of the ongoing investigation. Goodell said he’s confident Haslam is doing all he can to make amends. “He doesn’t need any pushing,” Goodell

said. “This company means a lot to him and he’s obviously not happy about what has happened and he’s determined to fix it. Jimmy is more disappointed than anybody.” Haslam has maintained he did not know about a program within his sales staff to cheat customers out of rebate and discount money. Seven employees of the truck-stop chain have pleaded guilty to defrauding customers. Goodell said he asked Haslam if he knew about the scheme. “He’s been very clear that he’s had no knowledge of that and he’s been clear publicly and clear with you all,” Goodell said. Goodell called Haslam a “man of great integrity.” Goodell says Haslam has been working hard to correct the problems at Pilot Flying J, which had its headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn., raided on April 15 by the FBI and IRS as part of the probe into wide-spread fraud at the company. Goodell

said the league will continue to monitor the situation, but doesn’t feel it needs to be more involved. Pressed about what the league might do if Haslam were indicted, Goodell refused to presume anything. “We’re not going to play the hypothetical game,” Goodell said. “Right now he’s addressing the issues. We’re confident he’s going to deal with it properly. You’re dealing with a bunch of hypotheticals. We’re not going there.” Goodell said the league was thorough in its vetting of Haslam, who was a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers before he bought the Browns. “This was a surprise to him and to his senior level management,” Goodell said. “From that standpoint, I don’t think he was aware of it and I don’t know any way we could have been aware of it. It was not disclosed to us.”

Francona pushed for Cleveland’s front office to sign Raburn, even though he batted .171 with 12 RBIs in 66 games with Detroit last season. He began the season as the Tigers’ second baseman but things quickly regressed and he was benched before being sent to the minors. “He got off to a horrendous start and never really recovered,” Francona said. “That happens to a lot of players. We were able to get him because of that. In the role he’s in, he does a great job.” The Indians, who have beaten the White Sox eight straight times, moved to within two games of idle Detroit in the American League Central. “Credit them,” Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. “They just outplayed us. Today is probably magnified because of what happened earlier in the series.” Cleveland also swept a four-game series in Chicago from June 28-30. Chicago has dropped seven in a row and is 26 games under .500 for the first time since 1980. The White Sox have lost 13 of 16 and have the second-worst record in the AL. The Indians, who are a season-high 12 games over .500, won all seven games of their homestand, which began with a three-game sweep against Texas. Cleveland outscored the opposition 40-20 during the seven-game stretch. Masterson outpitched Chris Sale (6-11) in a matchup of All-Star hurlers. Masterson (13-7) gave up one run in 6 2-3 innings and has won all four of his starts against Chicago this season, allowing three earned runs in 31 2-3 innings. Raburn’s home run off Sale in the third was towering fly ball to right that was pushed by the wind and curled inside the foul pole. He added an RBI single in the Indians’ two-run fifth and hit a leadoff homer off Dylan Axelrod in the seventh that landed in the left field bleachers. Masterson’s bid for his fourth shutout of the season ended on Alejandro De Aza’s leadoff homer in the sixth. The right-hander was pulled with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh but Rich Hill got De Aza to hit into a fielder’s choice. Masterson allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked three. He threw complete game shutouts against the White Sox on April 12 in Cleveland, a five-hitter, and on June 30, a six-hitter at U.S. Cellular Field. Francona said Masterson was battling a stiff neck but the pitcher didn’t think that affected him. “I felt all right,” Masterson said. “I was leaving a few sinkers out there at times. I was pitching and battling and trying to make things work. The overall sense is we played well as a team.” Sale has lost all three of his starts against the Indians this season. The left-hander is 1-9 in his last 11 starts but has a 3.24 ERA in that stretch. Mark Reynolds’ run-scoring single — his second RBI since June 29 — gave Cleveland the lead in the second. Asdrubal Cabrera added a sacrifice fly. NOTES: Indians OF Michael Brantley struck out in all three at-bats against Sale and is 2 for 16 with eight strikeouts against the lefthander this season. … RHP Vinnie Pestano, optioned to Triple-A Columbus when the Indians acquired LHP Marc Rzepczynski , pitched a scoreless inning against Buffalo on Wednesday. … Indians OF Michael Bourn, who was 1 for 10 in the series, was not in the starting lineup. AllStar 2B Jason Kipnis also was given the day off. … Chicago LHP Hector Santiago (3-6) faces Tigers RHP Doug Fister (9-5) on Friday. The clubs play 12 times over the final two months of the season. … The Indians make their first trip to Marlins Park for a three-game series. Cleveland RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (8-5) takes on Miami RHP Jose Fernandez (7-5) in the opener Friday.

Simpson leads after 1st round at Bridgestone

AKRON (AP) — So much for course knowledge. Webb Simpson, playing his first competitive round at Firestone Country Club, shot a 6-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead in the Bridgestone Invitational. It all came down to trust. “Well, I knew it all through my caddie (Paul Tesori), who’s been here so many years,” Simpson said. “I just kind of had to listen to him.” Tesori has caddied for years on tour, for Vijay Singh and Jerry Kelly, in addition to being a pro himself. “It’s hard for us players to listen to our caddies, but he basically showed me where to go yesterday and told me where to hit it, where the lines were, what clubs to hit,” said Simpson, the 2012 U.S. Open champion. “I didn’t feel like it was my first time because he has so much experience here.” Seven-time Bridgestone winner Tiger Woods did not have to rely so much on the man on his bag, Joe LaCava, while shooting a 66. Woods has 11 top-10 finishes in his 13 starts at the course, so he clearly knows where to go. Still, he needed his counsel from

time to time. “I hit a lot of good shots. I had a really good feel for the distance today, and Joey and I really read the wind right today,” Woods said after his best opening round at the course since another 66 spurred him to a one-shot victory in 2005. “We changed a lot of shots out there, and we both had a really good handle on what we were doing feel-wise with the wind.” Henrik Stenson was alone in second with a 65. Defending champion Keegan Bradley, Ryan Moore and Chris Wood, another first-time entrant, matched Woods at 66. Simpson had six birdies in an eight-hole span. There was only one glitch. “I wish I didn’t bogey the last hole,” he said after missing the green on the par 4 and failing to get up and down. “It’s one area I’ve got to get better at. When I’m between clubs, hitting more club and swinging easy is where I’ve been struggling. “You know, there’s always something to work on.” AP photo Simpson hasn’t won this season. Webb Simpson chips to the ninth green during the first round of the Bridgestone He called his year “encouraging Invitational golf tournament Thursday at Firestone Country Club in Akron. and frustrating.”

Russia will enforce anti-gay law during Olympics MOSCOW (AP) — Russia will enforce a new law cracking down on gay rights activism when it hosts international athletes and fans during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, the country’s sports minister said Thursday, appearing to contradict assurances to the contrary from the International Olympic Committee. Russia’s contentious law was signed by President Vladimir Putin in late June, imposing fines on individuals accused of spreading “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” to minors, and even proposing penalties for those who express these views online or in the news media. Gay pride rallies also are banned. “An athlete of nontraditional sexual orientation isn’t banned from coming to Sochi,” Vitaly Mutko said in an interview with R-Sport, the sports newswire of state news agency RIA Novosti. “But if he goes out into the streets and starts to propagandize, then of course he will be held accountable.” Mutko emphasized that the law wasn’t designed to punish anyone for being gay or lesbian. But like the Russian lawmakers who authored the bill, Mutko said athletes would be punished only for propaganda,

a word that remains ambiguous under the new law. “The corresponding law doesn’t forbid non-traditional orientation, but other things: propaganda, involvement of minors and young people.” The law specifies punishment for foreign citizens, to include fines of up to 100,000 rubles ($3,000), time in prison for up to 15 days, deportation and denial of reentry into Russia. Four Dutch citizens working on a documentary film about gay rights in the northern Russian town of Murmansk were the first foreigners to be detained under the new law, although their case did not make it to court, according to RIA Novosti. While activists and organizations supportive of gay rights have called for a ban on Russian-made products like Stolichnaya vodka in bars across North America, they have yet to find a unified response to the Sochi Games. Instead of a boycott of the Olympics, athletes have made individual gestures and called for protests, such as a pride parade, to be held during the games. The IOC said last week that it had received assurances “from the highest level

of government in Russia that the legislation will not affect those attending or taking part in the games.” It pledged to ensure there would be no discrimination against athletes, officials, spectators and the media in Sochi. IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Thursday the committee continues to accept past assurances from the Russian government that the law will not affect athletes, officials or spectators during the games. Gerhard Heiberg, a senior IOC member from Norway, also said Thursday that in winning the games, Russia and the city of Sochi had committed to preventing discrimination of any sort. But he issued a word of caution to the athletes. “At the same time we always say to our athletes, ‘We do not want any demonstrations in one or the other direction. Please, you are there to compete and behave. Please don’t go out on the Net or in the streets,’” Heiberg said. “I think it was very clear for London in 2012 and it will be very clear in 2014. Demonstrations in one way or another, no, but discrimination, absolutely not.”

Park seeks 4th straight major ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Wearing a black rain suit and a soft smile, Inbee Park looked calm as ever standing before the imposing Royal & Ancient clubhouse just moments before she teed off Thursday in the Women’s British Open. Only after her unsteady round of 3-under 69 did Park reveal perhaps the biggest surprise at St. Andrews. She was nervous. “But then once the round started, and especially playing so good in the first few holes, that really gave me a lot of confidence,” Park said. “I didn’t feel much pressure when I was playing during the round. I’m just glad that it’s already started and I got the first round under my belt.”

Park wound up three shots behind Morgan Pressel and Camilla Lennarth of Sweden, a solid start to what should be a fascinating week at the home of golf. Her pursuit of history looked more like a high-speed chase when the 25-year-old South Korean made six birdies in 10 holes. Three poor tee shots, two three-putt bogeys and one double bogey from a pot bunker on the back nine made her realize there’s a reason no golfer has ever won four majors in a single year. “Felt like a roller coaster today,” Park said. She was only too happy it finally stopped with a 6-foot birdie on the 18th hole, ending a slide during which she dropped four shots in a five-hole span.

Monday MLB drug deal deadline as playoffs loom NEW YORK (AP) — Looming playoffs could force an end to negotiations in baseball’s latest drug scandal as pressure builds to impose penalties so stars can still make the postseason. Monday appears to be the deadline for Alex Rodriguez and 13 others to accept suspensions for their ties to the Biogenesis of America antiaging clinic. While A-Rod is expected to get a lengthy ban, a penalty starting that day would allow Texas All-Star outfielder Nelson Cruz to return for October. Major League Baseball is prepared to issue two simultaneous announcements no later than Monday, a person familiar with the process told The Associated Press on Thursday. One would list players who accept suspensions; the other would name those disciplined without deals, but who could challenge penalties before an arbitrator. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Most players face 50-game suspensions for their links to the now-closed Florida clinic, which has been accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. But baseball is threatening to kick Rodriguez out for life unless the three-time AL MVP agrees to a long ban, perhaps around 200 games. Rodriguez appeared ready to talk Thursday as he was leaving the team’s minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., waving a group of writers

to his car in the parking lot and rolling down the window. However, when he saw a second group with TV cameras approaching, he said: “I’ll talk to you guys, but no cameras.” Rodriguez closed the window and waited a moment, then left without saying another word. Baseball’s highest-paid player with a $28 million salary, Rodriguez played in a simulated game and saw 31 pitches over six at-bats, played third and ran bases. The Yankees expect A-Rod to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLB’s investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Baseball has considered suspending him for violations of its labor contract and drug agreement, which would cause him to start serving his penalty before the case would go to arbitration. Sidelined following hip surgery in January and then a strained quadriceps, the 38-year-old third baseman hopes to return to the Yankees in a few days. He is to play Friday and Saturday at Double-A Trenton, putting himself in position to rejoin New York for Monday’s series opener at the Chicago White Sox if he’s not banned. Barring a rainout this weekend, Cruz’s Rangers would have exactly 50 games remaining before they play at the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. If he files a grievance, as a first offender, the penalty would be delayed until after a decision by arbitrator Fredric

Horowitz. But the lengthy legal process likely would risk his eligibility for the playoffs and the start of next season. Cruz said Thursday he hadn’t made any decision about a possible appeal. Asked whether he was told specifically what penalty could be forthcoming, Cruz responded, “No, I cannot tell you. Sorry.” Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta is the other targeted All-Star on a pennant contender, and the Tigers would have 53 games left before playing at Cleveland on Monday. Another All-Star shortstop, San Diego’s Everth Cabrera, could serve all of a 50-game suspension this year if he begins with the Padres’ game against Baltimore on Tuesday. Others facing discipline include injured Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and Seattle catcher Jesus Montero, who is in the minor leagues with Triple-A Tacoma. The Miami Herald reported Thursday that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami had opened a criminal investigation into whether Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch illegally sold controlled substances to high school students. That probe has the potential to complicate baseball’s disciplinary cases if Bosch’s lawyers advise him not to participate in MLB grievance hearings, where the commissioner’s office presumably would call him to testify and authenticate documents.

time. I may be a Giants fan, but I’m also a fan of the NFL in general, and it was pretty hard not to follow Carter’s career. In addition to being as reliable a receiver as has ever played the game, making all of the mundane routine plays, running precise routes every time and never really making a mistake on the field, Carter also would make those “you can’t be serious, that’s impossible” plays. And on a regular basis, too. “All he does is catch touchdowns” may have been what ESPN said about him. But he did so much more. But the story of his career doesn’t end with his play on the field. In fact, how he handled his off-the-field troubles from early in his career may be the biggest reason why he deserves the respect that is paid to him. When Eagles coach Buddy Ryan cut him, it was a pretty big shock. And back in those days, ESPN still hadn’t fully morphed into a TMZ-style tabloid news station yet — it still mainly reported on actual sports and games being played. Plus, I wasn’t even a teenager yet, so I never really understood what “off the field problems” meant. My idols were Dwight Gooden, Daryl Strawberry and Lawrence Taylor, if that tells you anything. So when it came out later — when I was old enough to understand what it meant — that Ryan had cut Carter because of recreational drug abuse problems, I was pretty shocked. Sure, Carter had a big, bombastic personality, but all wide receivers had (and still have) those, and he always seemed like a stand-up guy. Turns out, he is a stand-up guy. Because of the way he handled the aftermath of those problems. He went on to have a stellar, issue-free career with the Vikings, but most importantly he later not only admitted that he had had a drug problem, but he credited his ex-coach Ryan with helping him put his life back on track. Seriously. When’s the last time you heard a professional athlete do that? In this instance, Carter was humble, admitted his mistakes, took ownership of them, fixed them with help and then gave credit to the people that helped him. That is definitely not the “in” thing to do. Nor was it back then. I’m pretty sure it never has been, and I’m absolutely certain it never will be — just look at baseball and its performance-enhancing drug problems. There are those that think those off-thefield problems are the reason Carter had to wait this long to get into the Hall of Fame. I consider his handling of them even more reason to have made him a first-ballot electee. In fact, I still maintain that he should have been a first-ballot selection. So yeah, I’m definitely excited to be there to see Parcells get into the Hall, because I probably wouldn’t have this job without him in an odd sort of way. But it’s also a happy coincidence that Carter is a native of Troy, the city that job happens to be in. Because personally, as a fan of all things football, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to get the opportunity to see a player receive this kind of longoverdue honor.

Big night for Lochte, US golden girls BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Ryan Lochte feels like himself again. Looks more like himself, too, with that gold medal around his neck. Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky have felt this way all along. They’re piling up so much gold they might need bigger suitcases to get home. Lochte bounced back from a disappointing start to the world swimming championships, showing he still knows how to touch the wall first with his victory in the 200-meter individual medley Thursday night. That’s worthy of a “Jeah!” “The first two days I wasn’t myself,” Lochte said. “I was too worried about the outcome of each race, about finishing first, about my times, and that’s not me. I am a swimmer who is really relaxed and goes out there to have fun.” No one is having more fun than a pair of American teenagers. Franklin, the 18-year-old who recently graduated from high school, is 4 for 4 at the championships after anchoring the U.S. to victory in the 4x200 freestyle relay, matching her gold-medal haul at the London Olympics. Ledecky, only 16 and getting ready for her junior year of high school, is 3 for 3 after swimming the leadoff leg of the relay. It was her first chance to be part of a U.S. relay team at a major international meet. “Being part of a team is the most important part about swimming for me,” Franklin said. “You want to go out there and race harder than you’ve ever raced before.” Chances are, there will be more trips to the podium for the stalwarts of the American team. Lochte has four events remaining and Franklin three. Ledecky will be a big favorite in the 800 free, the event that produced her breakout gold medal at the London Olympics last summer. “I am not going to think about the outcomes or about winning,” said Lochte, who got through a demanding double by posting the second-fastest time in the semifinals of the 200 backstroke behind another American, Olympic gold medalist Tyler Clary. “I just need to have fun.” The U.S. settled for silver and bronze in the men’s 100 free — swimming’s glamour event. Australia’s James Magnussen rallied on the return lap to edge Jimmy Feigen and reigning Olympic champion Nathan Adrian. Lochte barely celebrated after his race, letting out a deep breath as he squinted to see his winning time — 1 minute, 54.98 seconds. Japan’s Kosuke Hagino claimed the silver, more than a second behind, and Brazil’s Thiago Pereira took bronze. Lochte, who took a long break after London and cut back his training to work on a reality TV show, hardly looked in peak form while swimming the second leg on the 4x100 free relay team that finished second behind France. That was followed by an even bigger disappointment — fourth place in the 200 freestyle. Now, after something of an epiphany, he finally has reason to scream his nonsensical catchphrase. Lochte trailed Pereira at the midway point, but he

turned it on during the breaststroke leg and pulled away on the freestyle finish, gliding across the water to win by about a body length, 1.31 ahead of Hagino. It was the 13th world championship gold of Lochte’s career, his 21st medal overall, and his third straight title in the 200 IM — a race he lost to Michael Phelps at the last Olympics. “My goggles were fogged up so I couldn’t see the rest of the field,” Lochte said. “I had no idea if I was winning or in last place. I was just focused on making my turns well, and toward the end I was just praying that I would touch the wall first.” In the relay, Ledecky put the Americans ahead at the start, and Franklin zipped away with a dominant anchor leg to win in 7:45.14. “Katie led it off like a champ,” said Shannon Vreeland, the second of the U.S. swimmers. “With Missy as an anchor, you just have a lot of confidence in the rest of the relay.” The U.S. was slightly behind Australia when Karlee Bispo passed off to Franklin. No problem. She zipped by Alicia Coutts on the final 200 with a leg that was a staggering 1.75 faster than any of the other 31 swimmers in the race. Australia settled for silver in 7:47.08, while France took the bronze in 7:48.43. “I don’t even care about my split,” Franklin said. “I knew I had to bring it home with everything I had, and I was just thinking about these girls the whole time.” When Magnussen saw his name first on the scoreboard, the swimmer known at “The Missile” hopped on the lane rope, flexing his muscles for the crowd while the fans from Down Under shouted “Oi! Oi! Oi!” He was viewed as a bit of a flop despite a silver medal at the London Games, where he went in as the overwhelming favorite but finished a hundredth of a second behind Adrian. “It was really emotional,” Magnussen

said. “That last sort of 15 meters I really used the last 12 months of experiences that I’ve gone through, and I was really aggressive toward the wall at the end. I’m just stoked that I got there.” Magnussen was nearly a second behind at the turn, but he powered through the water on the return lap to win in 47.71. Feigen also relied on a strong finish to get the silver in 47.82, leaving Adrian to settle for the bronze at 47.84. Still, the Americans were happy with their showing, especially Feigen. While Magnussen celebrated, a smiling Adrian put his arm around his teammate, who took the bulk of the blame for that U.S. loss in the 4x100 relay. Despite a lack of international experience, Feigen was put on the anchor leg — and couldn’t hold off the French. Feigen was second again, but this time it felt more like a win. “I started off a little shaky this whole worlds thing,” he said. “I think it’s coming together in the end.” In perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, Denmark’s Rikke Pedersen set a world record in the semifinals of the women’s 200 breaststroke. She touched in 2:19.11, breaking the mark of 2:19.59 set by American Rebecca Soni at the London Games. Soni is taking the year off but traveled to Barcelona for the championships. China added to its medal haul with a pair of golds and a silver. Liu Zige won the women’s 200 butterfly, edging the crowd favorite, Spain’s Mireia Belmonte. Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu took the bronze. Cammile Adams of the U.S. was seventh. The Chinese went 1-2 in the 50 back, an event dropped by Franklin so she could focus on her other events. Zhao Jing won gold, with teammate Fu Yuanhui claiming the silver. The bronze went to Japan’s Aya Terakawa. American Rachel Bootsma finished seventh.

Carter n Continued from page 13

McDaniel and Gary Zimmerman, preceded Carter with enshrinement over the past five years. Carter retired after the 2002 season behind only Jerry Rice for alltime receptions and touchdowns. He’s fourth in those categories now, passed by Tony Gonzalez and Marvin Harrison in catches and Randy Moss and Terrell Owens in scores. Wherever he landed on those lists was always going to be a product of his fierce determination. Raised in poverty in a four-room apartment with a single mother and five siblings, Carter

could’ve easily strayed from his Hall of Fame track. He was ineligible for his senior year at Ohio State because of a federal investigation for organized crime that revealed he signed early with an agent. He forced Philadelphia coach Buddy Ryan, who famously said of Carter, “All he does is catch touchdowns,” to cut him after the 1989 season. Then, Carter’s abuse of alcohol and drugs were destroying his career, let alone his life. But with arguably the best investment in franchise history, the Vikings paid the $100 waiver fee to claim Carter. Ten years

later, he had been picked for eight Pro Bowls, made the playoffs eight times and, in the latter part of his career, helped lead one of the most potent passing games in the league. The Vikings never reached the Super Bowl with him but were NFC runners up twice in that span. Carter hatched an offseason conditioning plan with his personal trainer to fuel all those accomplishments, using Rice, the San Francisco star, as his motivation and a time-zone advantage as his reward. The addictive behavior that fueled his chemical dependency

worked in his favor on the field. “By the time Jerry Rice woke up I was done with my work,” Carter said, adding: “I knew that if Jerry Rice was ahead of me, that day I had caught up to him a little bit.” That drive to be the best also produced a brash personality and the potential for conflict with opponents. There are many memorable video clips, too, of Carter shouting at a teammate or a coach. Moss thrived under Carter’s mentorship as a rookie but later grew tired of him and blasted him on Twitter last year

surprised by any of the grabs his buddy made. “He’d stand sideways, turn the ‘Jugs’ machine to 55 miles per hour and catch the ball with one hand, standing 10 yards away,” Reed said. “I wouldn’t try that because I’d break my fingers.” Carter was rarely hurt. He played in every game in all but one of his 12 seasons with the Vikings. “Every minute that I stepped on that field from the time that I warmed up, I was trying to put on a show for those people,” Carter said. “So they would be proud. I come from some humble beginnings, and I just believed that when people pay their money, hard-earned money, that they deserve a certain level of performance.”

after critical comments Carter made as an ESPN analyst of Moss’s work ethic. Carter later wrote in his autobiography “Going Deep,” that the two are back on good terms. “If you didn’t do what you were supposed to do on the field he really held you accountable,” former Vikings wide receiver Jake Reed said in a phone interview. “Some guys couldn’t deal with it because he was so strong of a personality. Some guys responded to it well. It was fine with me, because we wound up being best friends.” Reed recalled a game at Atlanta in 1991 when Carter caught a touchdown pass with one hand over two defenders. From then on, he was never
