COLUMBUS (AP) — The common belief is that if Ohio’s cities and villages, counties and school districts are healthy, the overall financial picture is healthy. As with anything in politics, the picture of Ohio’s financial health at the local level is either grim or rosy depending whose camp you’re in. For the local governments themselves, the question is answered day by day. Hit by a national recession and significant state budget cuts, communities and schools have laid off staff, cut vital services, closed parks and senior centers, raised fees on garbage collection and school sports, eliminated field trips, and even held bake sales to make ends meet. Around the state this year, there are glimmers of improvement. A few have seen projected deficits disappear and dozens of local

governments are predicting a rosier outlook as income-tax and sales-tax collections rise. “They’re struggling, but I don’t think they feel they’re going under,” said Sue Cave, executive director of the Ohio Municipal League that represents towns, villages and cities. “There was a feeling there for a while that things couldn’t get any worse.” Ohio’s local government fund — the highest profile pot of state discretionary money for locals — has been cut in the past two operating budgets, falling from $641 million a year in 2010 to $343 million this year. In that same time, Ohio’s estate tax has been eliminated and tax replacement dollars to local governments have fallen from $557 million to $152 million, according to figures from the Ohio Office of Budget and Management. School districts’ share

of state tax collections — a figure different than state education funding — dropped from $1.1 billion in 2010 to $510 million this year. “What they’re seeing is their state aid crumbling and no relief on the horizon,” said Wendy Patton of Policy Matters Ohio, which has detailed local government and school cuts by Gov. John Kasich and his fellow Republicans in the state Legislature. The Kasich administration is focused on positive developments in communities across the state: a projected budget shortfall evaporating in Canton, record-breaking sales tax revenue in Mercer County, a rare tax cut being doled out by the Springboro Schools near Cincinnati. Randy Cole, a policy analyst at the state budget office, said there are two ways of viewing Ohio’s local fiscal outlook. “Critics are focusing on a small subset

Congress split on aid to Egypt WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress are split over whether the U.S. should cut off military aid to Egypt, highlighting the difficult choices facing the Obama administration amid spiraling violence on the streets of an important Middle East ally. Democratic leaders have generally supported the president’s approach. But on Sunday, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., said he would end aid to Egypt. Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress and is co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. “I would cut off aid but engage in intense diplomacy in Egypt and in the region to try to say, look, we will restore aid when you stop the bloodshed in the street and set up a path towards democracy that you were on before,” Ellison said. “In my mind, there’s no way to say that this was not a coup. It is. We should say so. And then follow our own law, which says we cannot fund the coup leaders.” Among Republicans, there were growing calls to eliminate military aid to Egypt. But others were more hesitant. Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y., said curtailing aid could reduce U.S. influence over Egypt’s interim government, which controls Staff Photos | ANTHONY WEBER access to strategic resources , Troy resident Olive Wright holds a book she wrote while discussing its meaning with her niece Judy Cress Friday. “She’s is a including the Suez Canal. blessing to me everyday,” Wright said. “We certainly shouldn’t cut off all aid,” said King, who chairs the House panel on counterterrorism and intelligence.

of the state support they get and saying that has devastated local communities, and yet we say our focus has been on growing Ohio’s economy, and when you look at their entire budget picture, a lot of their local budgets are growing just like the state’s budget is growing,” he said. Dozens of local governments are seeing tax revenue increases, among them Avon, Bellefontaine and Massillon, and Butler, Ross and Van Wert counties. Cole classifies more than 40 separate line items in Ohio’s state budget that deliver direct benefit to local governments or schools and that 85 percent of state budget spending is passed back to governments, schools and other local entities that deliver services in Ohio communities. Taken as a whole, those funding sources have increased from $13.7 billion in 2010 to a projected $14.2 billion in 2015, state figures show. They include social services for the poor and elderly, courts and law enforcement, farmers’ markets, child care programs, recycling grants, and road and infrastructure upkeep. Such earmarked local funds, which must be spent for certain purposes, have expanded exponentially, as local government agencies have grown from four in the year 1900 to 6,550 agencies today, he said. Cave counters that Ohio is a home-rule state designed to deliver services at the local level. She said dedicated funding cited by Cole can’t pay for police and fire budgets, road programs, and other fundamentals. And Willoughby Mayor David Anderson, whose city has seen improved income-tax revenue, said how well Ohio cities are faring depends on their mix of businesses and how lean they were before the latest round of cuts. Some of the most efficient governments

around the states were the least able to sustain more cuts. “Willoughby was able to recover faster because of our income-tax base,” he said, “but it’s created a huge problem for other cities.” Take Mansfield, which has been in fiscal emergency since 2010. Safety-Service Director Lori A. Cope said the city has 30 vacancies on its police force, and 15 firefighters are paid by a short-term grant that expires next year. Pools have been shuttered, city workers are mowing parks on comp time, and only half the streetlights shine in some neighborhoods. “If there are more cuts, we’ll have to ask the residents what they can live without,” she said. “There’s nowhere else to cut. We know that for certain. Unless we can teach the firemen to be policemen, maybe double up.” Shelby County Auditor Denny York, a former bank executive, said when state leaders say they’ve cut expenses that’s because “we’re an expense to them.” “We’re all doing somewhat better, the state’s doing a lot better — and they saw fit not to share any of that with us,” he said. Vinton County Auditor Cindy Owings credits the governor and lawmakers for protecting a handful of small counties that rely heavily on the local government fund — including hers — from fund cuts in the past two budgets. But she said “little cuts here and there” across the budget continue to take their toll. “All we’re asking is to share that hurt,” she said. “We will take our share of the cut. We just don’t want to take it all. I feel that’s what’s happening.”

Book n Continued from page 1 author of two books dedicated to word scrambling includes five broken pelvis fractures, a broken neck, a perforated ulcer and a cerebral hematoma (brain injury) after falling in the shower. The first book, published in 2001, was entitled “’Twas Said” and dealt with chilsrens’ comments. After that, Wright became an expert in word scrambling. Her latest book, printed by Cori Graphics of Troy, is called “Palin Sword.” It is a collection of 400 different word puzzles. The puzzles are all scrambled phrases, such as “Herew vaeh lal het eowrfls oeng?”(“Where have all the flowers gone?”) The idea to make the book came when Wright was in Arizona visiting her daughter Cathy. Wright graduated from Tippecanoe High School and

earned her bachelor’s degree at Wright State University. While working in the real estate business, she earned a master’s degree at Wright State as well. Later, Wright later taught elementary school at a Tipp City and studied to become a nurse as well. But what the young-at-heart senior citizen loves talking about the most is “my beautiful marriage,” with her husband of 62 years that ended when Derb Wright passed away in 2007. “He and I had a wonderful life together,” said Wright, the mother of two and gradmother of four. She remembers fondly their summers at the beach. “I will always remember the 17 years we spent together at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. One year during a hurricane down there we

stayed and enjoyed the area anyway,” said Wright, who now resides at Sterling House in Troy. Another important person in Wright’s life is her niece, Judy Cress. Wright dedicated “Palin Sword” to her, with the inscription “in the latter years of my life, I could not have gotten through all the things I have faced without Judy. I can never repay the kindness and love she has shown me.” Cress said she is inspired by her aunt’s resilience. “My favorite memory of her happened a few years back when a doctor told her it’s doubtful that she would never walk again. But after a few weeks, she was walking 1-2 miles a day to get back in shape,” Cress said. “She is definitely a wonderful inspiration for seniors.”

Congress n Continued from page 1 guys there,” King said. “But of the two, I think there is more opportunity to protect American interests if we work with the military and continue our relationship with the military.” The split among members of the same political party illustrates the uncertainty facing President Barack Obama as he tries to navigate volatile developments in Egypt, where crackdowns last week left more than 600 people dead and thousands more injured. Obama has denounced the violence, canceled joint military exercises scheduled for September and delayed the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets. But the White House has refused to declare Morsi’s removal a coup — a step that would require Obama to suspend $1.3 billion in annual military aid. The president insists that the U.S. stands with Egyptians seek-

ing a democratic government. But he says America cannot determine Egypt’s future. Sen. John McCain of Arizona renewed his call Sunday to stop aid as the Egyptian military continues to crack down on protesters seeking Morsi’s return. “For us to sit by and watch this happen is a violation of everything that we stood for,” said the senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee. “We’re not sticking with our values.” The military ousted Morsi July 3 after millions of Egyptians took to the streets to demand he step down, accusing him of giving the Brotherhood undue influence and failing to implement vital reforms or bolster the ailing economy. But Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said he supports the president’s approach. “These are very, very difficult choices,” said Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I’m very unhappy, obviously, with the crackdown. But we essentially have two choices in Egypt. And that’s a military government, which hopefully will transition as quickly as possible to civilian government, or the

Muslim Brotherhood. I don’t think the Muslim Brotherhood is a choice.” Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said Congress should give the president flexibility in dealing with Egypt. “I do believe we have to change our aid,” said Reed, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “I think also we have to have included in the legislation a national security waiver, because we have to give the president not only the responsibility to deal with the government of Egypt but also flexibility.” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said U.S. aid to Egypt was more likely to “buy a chateau in Paris” for an Egyptian military leader than “bread in Cairo” for the poor. “I don’t think we’re buying any friendship with the Egyptian people,” Paul said, especially when people see tanks supplied by the U.S. to the Egyptian military on the streets of Cairo. “We are not winning the hearts and minds of the Egyptian people,” said Paul, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “The aid has to end.” Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., had resisted calls to cut off aid. But

on Sunday, he switched positions. “I think we need to look at the tiers of our aid,” said Corker, top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “Let’s face it, most of the aid has gone out the door this year.” Corker said he expects Congress to debate next year’s aid this fall, after lawmakers return from their summer recess. “Look, I condemn what’s happened with the military, but I also condemn what in essence was a political coup by the Muslim Brotherhood,” Corker said. “And we need to move this debate along and this fall, hopefully, again, focus on what is our national interests. And there still are things within Egypt that are very much in our national interest. And we need to keep the lines of communication open.” McCain spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union,” King and Paul made their comments on “Fox News Sunday,” Reed spoke on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and Engel, Ellison and Corker appeared on ABC’s “This Week.”

Settlement reached in Penn StateSandusky scandal HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A young man who testified he was sexually abused by former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky will get a reported multimilliondollar payout in the first of what is expected to be dozens of settlements between the university and Sandusky’s accusers. The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported Saturday that the young man known as “Victim 5,” who took the stand at Sandusky’s criminal trial and sentencing last year, settled for several million dollars. Attorney Tom Kline confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on Saturday, but would not specify the dollar amount. He said the parties signed off on the agreement Friday. Kline said his 25-yearold client was relieved and expected to receive the money within a month. The man identified himself for his testimony, but AP generally does not identify people who are victims of sex crimes. The paper reported the deal is the first of 26 settlements expected soon among 31 young men who have pressed claims over Sandusky’s actions and the school’s response. Kline told the AP that as part of the agreement, his client assigned his claim to Penn State, effectively giving the university a better chance to recover the money from other parties, such as The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth that Sandusky founded. University officials “left themselves a wide open road to recover a significant amount of this money back from their insurers and Second Mile. And we support that,” Kline said. Michael Rozen, one of the lawyers brought in by Penn State to resolve the civil claims, told the paper that Victim 5’s case was considered among the more serious because the abuse occurred in August 2001, months after top school officials were informed by a graduate assistant that he saw Sandusky assaulting a boy in a team shower. “The pivotal issue from the university’s perspective in dealing with the victims is where the incident occurred and when it occurred proximate to the 2001 shower incident,” Rozen told the paper. A spokesman for the university declined comment Saturday on the deal, saying the school “continues to make progress on multiple settlements.” At Sandusky’s trial, Victim 5 testified that he met the coach at a Second Mile camp in 1999 and went to Penn

State games with him. He said that Sandusky groped him in the showers during a workout. Kline said the agreement does not prevent Victim 5, who lives outside Philadelphia, from talking or writing about his experience, although he has no plans to do so. “We hope that there is closure, but I can tell you on his behalf that he understands there (are) continuing proceedings, because this case has had, and continues to have, many long tentacles,” Kline said. Victim 5 was among eight young men who testified at Sandusky’s trial about abuse that included fondling and rape, including incidents on school property. Penn State announced a year ago — the day Sandusky was convicted of 45 criminal counts — that it hoped to compensate his victims fairly and quickly. Penn State’s trustees have authorized some $60 million to be used for settlements. Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence for child molestation and related offenses. He spent three decades at Penn State under former head coach Joe Paterno, and met some of his victims through The Second Mile, which he continued to operate after he retired from Penn State in 1999. A 1998 complaint about Sandusky showering with a boy — one of those who testified against him — was investigated by university police but no charges were filed. A graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, witnessed a different incident in the team shower in 2001 and notified Paterno and other high-ranking school officials, but police were not called. The response of university leaders, including Paterno, was heavily criticized in a report commissioned by the school last year. Paterno died in January 2012, but criminal charges for an alleged cover-up are pending against three others: former president Graham Spanier, retired vice president Gary Schultz and retired athletic director Tim Curley. All three deny the allegations. Penn State had fostered an image of a model football program under Paterno, whose statue outside the football stadium was taken down after the scandal broke. The school has spent nearly $50 million on the Sandusky scandal, not including any payments to the victims and accusers.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you plan on attending the “Gentlemen of the Road” tour stop in Troy?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News

in by Jam Productions, you say? For a crowd of how many? Twenty-five to 30 thousand. I have perused the websites for this concert. I even submitted a question more than three weeks ago with my name, address and email. No response. The question form was even removed from the site. And the city meeting seemed to be just as void of answering peoples concerns as everything else has been. When asked why the TDN hadn’t published more, it was said the city doesn’t control what they print. But the city does control what information is given for them to use. When asked what benefit to the city it offered, it was said the money would help provide city services. Oh, you mean the ones our property and sales tax already pay for? Or the ones we pay on our water bill for trash and stormwater fees? Or the ones we will be paying as an additional 10 dallar fee on our liscense plates next

year? Would we have lost these services if the concert never was? I think not. Residents and businesses alike have been basically told to buck up and shut up. Never mind any issues you may have, it will be over in a couple days. Really? I read on a GOTR site this evening that you are asking people to stay a couple more days and visit other things in our area? Where will they be staying? We were told this would be over on Sunday afternoon. This site says stay until Monday?!? All in all I still feel this should have been handled in a better way with more consideration and respect to those who will be here after all is said and done. Also how ironic that the person who sang the praises of the festival in their town last year works for Jam Productions? No one ever gives bad press when they are selling something. Again, I wish the best of times to all who attend. — Dawn Palser Troy

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP New York Times on shortsighted thinking on Israeli settlements There was a certain internal political logic to two announcements made by the Israeli government, just days before Wednesday’s scheduled resumption of peace talks with the Palestinians. Early Monday, the government released a list of 26 Palestinian prisoners to be released Tuesday, most serving sentences for murder and other violent crimes. A few hours before that, the government published bids for the construction of more than 1,000 new housing units in East Jerusalem and existing West Bank settlements — a move apparently designed to mollify right-wingers who would oppose the prisoner release. This balancing act may have made sense in the narrow world of the Knesset. But, in the broader world beyond Israeli domestic politics, giving the green light to more settlement construction in contested territory is not just untimely but a fresh cause for pessimism about the prospects for successful peace negotiations. Secretary of State John Kerry has set an ambitious goal of reaching a comprehensive peace settlement within nine months. In any conceivable agreement, at least some West Bank settlements will have to be uprooted. And East Jerusalem is where Palestinians hope to locate the capital of their eventual state. Why further complicate these already complicated negotiations three days before they start? … Knowing this, many Israelis also expressed dismay at the settlement announcement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s finance minister and coalition partner, Yair Lapid, rightly complained that it would “needlessly challenge the Americans” and “poke sticks in the wheels of peace talks.” Announcing settlement bids now embarrasses Mr. Kerry, who worked very hard to persuade the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, to drop his earlier demand for a settlement freeze. It also unhelpfully embarrasses Mr. Abbas, whose good faith now appears to have been abused and who may now find it harder to sell difficult-but-necessary compromises to his people. No one is under any illusions that reaching a peace agreement will be easy. Both sides must summon the courage to tackle extremely sensitive issues, like settlements. Mr. Netanyahu can show his by freezing the construction bids before any actual building begins. The Khaleej Times, Dubai, on the coup terminology: We think Sen. John McCain has put the White House in a tight corner. His remarks that former Egyptian president Mohammed Mursi’s ouster was a coup had put the cart before the horse for Washington. The US administration had strictly avoided using the term for the Egyptian military’s dismissal of Mursi, and had been keeping a low profile over the change of guard in Cairo. McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham, who were hobnobbing in Cairo for the last several days in hope of brokering a thaw between the military and the Muslim Brotherhood, now seem to have given up. McCain sealed the fate for both Cairo and Washington by saying, “we have said we share the democratic aspirations and criticism . and the circumstances of (Mursi’s) removal was a coup”. With Egypt lacking a political solution to its homegrown crisis, the US will be locked down in a serious diplomatic tangle. And now McCain plain talking has further compounded the equation. If the White House formally calls the move a coup, it would be caught in a serious politico-legal limbo. Then it would be under legal compulsions to cut off $1.3 billion in aid, and lose such a great geo-strategic partner in the region. This is where diplomacy is badly needed to not only pull the Egyptians out of the quagmire that has claimed hundreds of lives, but also to put it back on the path of political stability. Unraveling of Egypt as it is mired in turmoil could be a prelude to a catastrophe in the region. With violence and political polarization taking roots, something serious is up in the air. The military government, which has already expressed its desire to take along the opposition elements including the Brotherhood, has to initiate another effort to mend the fences. It is, though, a difficult moment for Cairo.

LETTERS Questions about concert remain unanswered To the Editor: OK, how about one more letter about the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover? First of all, let me say I truly and sincerely wish for a happy, successful weekend. But let me say a few things here. Have you ever heard the expression “don’t bite the hand that feeds you?” Well, the city leaders have gnawed it off up to the elbow over this issue. There has been poor planning, lack of sharing vital information in a timely manner and rude attitudes to the very people who pay their salaries. It is less than two weeks until the venue and there are still issues TBA. That is not acceptable for an activity of this magnitude. I am concerned about police and fire. It is said there will be 1700 overtime hours billed, not more people to fill the need. Fewer people working more hours. Not a safe feeling. One hundred security personel brought

The tub would dry out seemingly within hours of getting a healthy dousing of water and someone (the same someone who stood over that darn canning pot) would find herself pouring buckets of water on a tomato plant she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted. This year the tomatoes are back where they belong, in the ground. Right where the rabbits can get at them. There is never a coyote around when you need one.

‘The Butler’ serves box-office success at No. 1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” is serving up success at the box office. Starring Forest Whitaker as a longtime White House butler and Oprah Winfrey as his boozy wife, the Weinstein Co. biopic debuted in the top spot with $25 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. But the weekend’s three other major new releases, including the action romp “Kick-Ass 2,” failed to find traction with fans. “We expected to do well, but we didn’t expect to do this well,” said Erik Lomis, president of distribution and home entertainment for Weinstein Co., adding that “The Butler” is the company’s first No. 1 debut since 2009’s “Inglourious Basterds.” Even with a full slate of newcomers, last week’s top movies claimed the second and third spots in the box-office race. The Jason Sudeikis-Jennifer Aniston Warner Bros. comedy, “We’re the Millers,” held onto second place in its second week of release with $17.78 million, while last week’s No. 1, Sony’s (NYSE:SNE) “Elysium,” dropped to third with $13.6 million. “It was tough if you were any other film opening other than ‘The Butler,’” said Paul Dergarabedian of box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “Kick-Ass 2,” Universal’s tale of everyday teenagers who dress up as superhero crime-fighters, opened in fourth place with $13.56 million. Open Road’s Steve Jobs biopic, “Jobs,” debuted in seventh place with $6.7 million. And Relativity’s “Paranoia,” which stars Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth, didn’t crack the top 12. “Maybe it should have been Oprah Winfrey’s ‘Jobs,’” Dergarabedian said. “It would have had a better shot.” Apart from Winfrey’s unmatched marketing power, “The Butler” also marked the mogul’s return to the big screen for the first time since 1998’s “Beloved.” “She was a significant factor” in the film’s success this weekend, Lomis said. “Her publicity machine really kicked into high gear, and the entire cast, Lee Daniels and Forest Whitaker, they delivered a quality film and a great campaign.” The summer typically belongs to superheroes and big-action fare, which is why Weinstein chose to release “The Butler” now. “It’s different from pretty much everything else in the marketplace,” Lomis said. “That really seemed to help.” 40363775

Prosthetics field advances, thanks to technology, options BRIAN BETHEL

Scripps Howard News Service

ABILENE, Texas — Back when Aaron Jurkis started at Abilene Artificial Limb in 1995, he was sweeping the floors. Today he is a certified prosthetist. Jurkis said the options and technology available to patients are amazing compared to when he began his humble rise. What hasn’t changed, said both Jurkis and Scott Jameson, director orthotics and prosthetics at the West Texas Rehabilitation Center, is the satisfaction that comes in helping patients move in ways that may have seemed impossible after the loss of a limb. Whether a patient’s prosthetic is fairly basic or a wonder of science, when it comes to new patients, Jurkis said he always tells them that “90 percent of any prosthetic device is in your head and your heart.” “The other 10 percent is the stick I put underneath you,” he said. “I tell everybody you can do everything you want to do with or on a prosthetic device, you may just have to find a little bit different way to do it.”

Jameson said his is one of the only professions “in all of health care” that can see a patient come in riding a wheelchair in the morning, then come out pushing that same chair themselves. “Being able to deliver that hope is more gratifying than anything,” he said. The socket, the part of the prosthesis that a patient’s residual limb fits inside of, is fundamental to a patient’s success, Jameson said. The ideal goal is to “really try to make it feel like part of (the patient) as much as possible.” Every patient is a new challenge, Jurkis said, creating a sort of “puzzle-solving” aspect to the work. There are a multitude of considerations, Jameson said, from patients’ general physical condition and lifestyle to whether or not they often walk on uneven ground or smooth, flat floors. In simpler times, making the socket involved a plaster mold, modified and shaped by hand, he said. “Now we have a digital scanner,” Jameson said. “We scan their limb. We come up with

a computer model, and all the things that I used to do by hand with different tools, we can make all of those modifications with computer animated software.” Computer models can be sent to a “carver,” which creates an exact mold of what was created on-screen, Jameson said. From the initial computer scan, “diagnostic” sockets are created, he said. “Once we feel like that socket is as perfect as we can be, we move to what we call a definitive socket,” he said. “We put it in a material that’s going to be as durable as possible and last a long time. Then we combine that with the (special-ordered) components we consider most appropriate for that patient. And then we do the fitting and delivery.” Gait training for legs is important to teach patients how to use and walk on their new limb. Physical therapy helps patients get stronger and increase their abilities, he said. About 85 percent of amputations are due to diabetes, he said, meaning that such patients don’t oftentimes heal as fast as they would like.

Is your job helping you pack on the pounds? TYREL LINKHORN Toledo Blade

SHNS Photo Ellie Cizek and her brother, Zach, took the family golden retrievers for a run recently. “I want my independence back,” she said.

Brain injury patients fight for therapy time and money JEREMY OLSON Minneapolis Star Tribune

The way it’s been explained to her family, 20-year-old Ellie Cizek has about 18 months to regain the memory and thinking skills she lost on the Colorado ski slopes in January, when she glanced off a chairlift post and slammed headfirst into a tree. So imagine their frustration this spring when, only four months into her recovery from a traumatic brain injury, her health insurer denied further care at a specialized rehabilitation center in Omaha and the family had to bring Cizek home to St. Paul. “Insurance is pretty mean to brain-injured patients,” Cizek’s sister, Josie, said recently as the family prepared a fundraiser to pay for her care. It’s a common refrain for patients like Cizek — and a growing concern in the United States, where the concussive force of sport injuries, car crashes and other accidents causes 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries each year, including 90,000 severe enough to cause long-term disability. Doctors often recommend cognitive rehabilitation — a set of therapies to retrain patients’ brains and restore lost brainpower — beyond what insurance companies cover. Insurers face the dilemma of trying to hold the line on therapy costs, especially if it appears that patients have reached a plateau in their recoveries, amid mixed evidence about what works best. And

families often learn that insurance coverage is ending just as they see substantial progress in their loved ones. Getting rehab right is crucial: A traumatic brain injury can rob patients of memory, thinking skills, emotional regulation and even motor control of their arms and legs. High-profile successes, such as former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, draw attention to the potential of cognitive rehabilitation, but also to the fact that most people can’t afford the level of care she received. A 2011 U.S. Institute of Medicine report concluded that rehab is often “incomplete” for those with severe brain injuries and that “many patients may not receive prescribed treatments due to limitations in payer plans.” “You’re dooming people to social Darwinism — who has (access to care) and who doesn’t,” said Pete Klinkhammer of the Brain Injury Alliance of Minnesota, an advocacy organization. To a visitor’s eye, Cizek is every bit the smiling young woman who made friends easily at CretinDerham Hall High School in St. Paul and then at the University of Kansas. The accident left her in a coma for days and in an amnesialike state until April. The physical scars have faded, but there are gaps in her planning and reasoning skills, and doctors have recommended inpatient rehab services. “She can communicate and

understand, but when she tries to plan an event or plan into the future, it just doesn’t quite stick,” said her father, Bill Cizek. Ellie Cizek participates in group therapy at Courage Center in Golden Valley, Minn., but her parents want her to return to Quality Living Inc., in Omaha, Neb., one of the only in-patient rehab centers for traumatic brain injuries in the Midwest, so she can receive more intensive services during this critical period of healing. The fact that Cizek can walk and talk has weighed against her, because her insurer required some form of physical disability in addition to her cognitive problems to approve prolonged inpatient therapy. Cognitive rehabilitation is an umbrella term for an approach that includes speech, occupational and physical therapy, and other techniques that coax injured portions of the brain to repair themselves or to kick-start other parts of the brain to take over. Research on the effectiveness of cognitive rehab has accelerated since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where so many soldiers suffered brain injuries from roadside bombs that traumatic brain injury has been dubbed the “signature injury” of those conflicts. Even so, experts say there is limited evidence about its effectiveness, the number of sessions that are most effective and whether inpatient care is superior.

More than half of U.S. workers consider themselves overweight, and 41 percent of those people say they have gained at least some of that excess at their current gig, a study from CareerBuilder found. People stuck behind a desk all day, or whose jobs are extraordinarily stressful, tend to fare worse in packing on the pounds. “Work can be a precarious place for one’s personal health, especially when you’re sitting behind your desk most of the day, stressed out and eating irregularly, or eating fast food regularly,” said Ryan Hunt, a spokesman for CareerBuilder, the largest U.S. online employment company. The survey singled out administrative assistants as the job most likely to lead to weight gain, with 69 percent of respondents in that field reporting they had added pounds. Other professions likely to lead to weight gain, according to the study, were engineer, teacher, nurse practitioner and IT manager. The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive this spring, included about 3,700 full-time workers across the United States. Kinsy McNamee, a registered dietitian with ProMedica, said people who are looking to get healthier often cite their jobs as a stumbling block. “People who have difficult work schedules, it makes it more challenging,” McNamee said. “It doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but it has to be a priority to make the time.” One easy thing workers can do to help their cause is cut down on dining out. The survey found that 54 percent of workers go out to eat at least once a week, while 24 percent go out three

times a week or more. A full 70 percent say they snack through the day. McNamee said it is extremely difficult to make healthy choices when dining out. Part of that is because people are often tempted by less-healthy options, but even those who try to make the best choice can stumble. “Bringing your food from home is not only helpful for your wallet, but also your waistline, because you do have that control over how much salt and fat you’re adding to things,” McNamee said. “It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. A lunch-meat sandwich, an apple and a yogurt isn’t something that takes more than five minutes to make in the morning.” For those with desk jobs, it’s good to get up and move around occasionally. Even standing at your desk, if possible, can help. “You’re burning more calories when you’re standing,” McNamee said. “Even just small movements that build up throughout the day help with burning calories.” Last year, ProMedica installed about 400 workstations that allowed employees to sit or stand to do their work. The reception has been positive, officials said. The CareerBuilder survey found that 30 percent of workers said their company offers some type of wellness benefit, such as a workout room or gym membership. But only about a third of those employees take advantage of them, the survey said. CareerBuilder found some jobs that seemed to help with weight loss. Among them: retail sales, marketing and public relations, and food service.

Homeless displaced in Ohio River bridge project AP Photos In this Feb. 19 photo, Indiana State Police Lt. Chuck Cohen poses for a photo in a mobile crime lab in Indianapolis. The lab is used by an Indiana task force that is building a national reputation for aggressive pursuit of child pornographers worldwide.

Ind. team leads fight against child pornography INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — In a cluttered office cubicle in a nondescript building on Indianapolis’ derelict east side, a man with rolled-up shirt sleeves scans email attachments of videos that depict startlingly young children being sexually tormented in ways that can make even federal judges weep. Detective Kurt Spivey is trying to find the people who record or collect such images. He has 30 days to locate as many as he can. After that, the trail could go cold as the data on the hard drive dissolves. Spivey is a 43-year-old police detective who parlayed his nine years in vice and experience with computers into a position on the city’s cybercrime unit. It’s part of central Indiana’s Internet Crimes Against Children task force, which has become one of the nation’s most aggressive and effective child pornography hunters, with a reach that extends around the globe. “They are really cutting-edge,” said Francey Hakes, who worked for three years as a special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General overseeing child exploitation units in various agencies within the Justice Department. “I would say that most districts that have learned of some of

the techniques and tactics used there have tried to model and adopt them as best they can.” At first blush, Indiana isn’t a likely location for such a group. Though it has its share of violent crime, the state is better known for its hospitality, auto racing and love of basketball than as an international hotbed of perversion. Yet in 2011, the latest year for which U.S. Department of Justice statistics are available, Indiana’s task force made 166 arrests for manufacturing, distributing or possessing child pornography. New York City’s task force made 16 arrests, and Chicago’s team made 71. And Indiana did all this with about $100,000 less funding than New York City. Much of the success of the Indiana team, which includes federal, state and local agencies, stems from the reach the Internet provides. The team also benefits from a rare level of cooperation among the law enforcement agencies that has largely eliminated turf wars. That cooperation is essential as child pornography trafficking, which had largely been eliminated in the United States by the mid-1980s, has exploded, fueled by the Internet, social networking and digital technology that make it easy to produce and access.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A project to build a new Ohio River bridge between Indiana and Kentucky has displaced homeless residents and sent outreach groups in search of new sites where they can provide meals and other essentials. Advocates for the homeless say bridge planners and other officials didn’t supply adequate notice that they would be moving the camps for the homeless and that new policies set up in Jeffersonville to protect the homeless weren’t followed. “We understand that there’s construction coming through, but to find out these camps over (to) 10th Street are going to be wiped out in less than four days, someone knew something that could have prepared us,” Paul Stensrud, founder of Jesus Cares at Exit 0, told the News and Tribune. The homeless who camp along the river used to know where they would get their next meal because outreach workers arrived at the same location each night.

But now the camps have been pushed farther north, and Stensrud and Exit 0 volunteers have been forced to locate wherever they can. The ramifications of that were evident on a recent Tuesday, when Stensrud had about 75 meals with him as he fed a handful of people under an overpass. More than a dozen other homeless people waited about a quarter of a mile away. Stensrud said the group needs a permanent meeting spot. “We’ll go mobile, it’s going to hurt us,” he said. Stensrud said the meals save recipients money that they can put toward bills, rent or medication. “Now, with the meals being gone, what’s going to happen? Medication is going to get cut first because it’s medicine or food,” he said. “We’re going to do what we’ve got to do to keep these guys alive,” he said. “Not to enable, to keep them alive.” Organizers had hoped the city would approve a day shelter to help those displaced by the bridge

project, but a zoning request was denied. “We’re trying to do the right thing and communicate with (Mayor) Mike (Moore) saying, look, you’re giving away properties to museums, you’re giving away properties for art and stuff like that. Dude, I just need a parking lot,” Stensrud said. City Council President Connie Sellers said the zoning request was denied because residents didn’t want it and because the area was targeted for redevelopment. Thomas Steinberger, director of the food pantry at Harvest Chapel Church, said he isn’t optimistic advocates will be able to find a place for a shelter. “The problem is we can’t move anywhere because Jeffersonville has a NIBY (not in my backyard) factor,” he said. “It just seems like the homeless are on the back burner and nobody gives a care about them.” That leaves people like Roy White, who has been homeless for five years, in limbo. “They come to you and say, ‘you’ve got to go,’” he said. “Go where?”

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Parents must be patient with children because the Full Moon today affects them as well as your family pet. Romantic partners must likewise be patient and tolerant with each other. And so it goes. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of career and your reputation today. Classic. However, this Full Moon says you cannot ignore your private life. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your sign because of the Full Moon energy. Think before you speak and act. Count to three. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel pulled between your financial needs and the financial needs of someone else today. Nevertheless, you can't ignore your own survival. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is the second Full Moon opposite your sign this year -- two in a row! (Most unusual.) Be patient with partners and close friends. This is your only choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Difficulties with co-workers or even health issues might come to a head today because of the Full Moon. If issues are too heated, postpone your decision. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Social occasions, sports events and romantic relationships will be stressed because of the Full Moon energy today. Everything will be all right if people are civil and patient. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Every Full Moon heightens emotions and blows things out of proportion. You might feel this way dealing with family members and bosses. Just remember: They feel it, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues, because today is a Full Moon day. Don't go looking for trouble and don't let it find you, either. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This could be an accident-prone day because of the Full Moon energy, but it doesn't have to be. Keep your wits about you. Stay calm and carry on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relationships might be stressed because this is the second Full Moon in your sign this year! Be easygoing and mellow, and all will be well. (Patience requires mental discipline.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with co-workers today because of the Full Moon. Things can go smoothly if you are cooperative and accommodating. Be especially patient with others who are losing it. YOU BORN TODAY Many of you have a secret in your past or something that motivates you to behave in a certain way in the future. You might not even be aware of it. However, you have a fantastic imagination and you are always fearless. You understand human nature. Make time this year to study or learn something valuable. (Your rewards will follow.)

All were convicted and executed. In 1942, during World War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers launched a disastrous raid against the Germans at Dieppe, France, suffering more than 50 percent casualties. In 1951, the owner of the St. Louis Browns, Bill Veeck (vehk), sent in 3-foot-7 Eddie Gaedel to pinch-hit in a game against Detroit. In his only major league atbat, Gaedel walked on four pitches and was replaced at first base by a pinch-runner. In 1991, Soviet hard-liners made the stunning announcement that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev had been removed from power, a coup attemp that collapsed two days later.

Report: JPMorgan investigated NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. regulators are looking into whether JPMorgan Chase hired the children of Chinese officials to help it boost its business in China, The New York Times reported. The Times said Sunday details of the civil investigation were in a confidential U.S. government document that it saw. According to the document, the anti-bribery unit of the Securities and Exchange Commission asked JPMorgan for records about some of the bank’s hires in China. According to the Times, the document shows that the bank hired the son of a former Chinese banking regulator who is now chairman of the China Everbright Group, a state-controlled financial conglomerate. The paper reported that after the chairman’s son joined the bank, JPMorgan won several assignments from Everbright. JPMorgan’s Hong Kong office also hired the daughter of a

Chinese railway official. The official was later detained on accusations of taking cash bribes in exchange for handing out government contracts, the Times reported, citing the U.S. document and public records. The woman came to JPMorgan at the time that The China Railway Group was in the process of picking JPMorgan to advise it on its plans to go public. JPMorgan helped China Railway raise more than $5 billion when it went public in 2007. Information sought by the SEC included “documents sufficient to identify all persons involved in the decision to hire” her, the Times reported. SEC spokesman Myron Marlin declined to comment. JPMorgan referred to the investigation in a securities filing earlier this month. It said the SEC’s enforcement division is seeking information about the bank’s

employment of some people in Hong Kong and its business relationships with some clients, but didn’t give any other details. On Sunday, JPMorgan issued a statement saying “We publicly disclosed this matter in our 10-Q filing on Aug. 7, and are fully cooperating with regulators.” A spokeswoman for the New York bank declined to comment further. The Times report said it’s common for global companies to hire the children of Chinese politicians, but that it’s unusual for a company to hire the children of officials of state-controlled companies. The government document did not definitively link JPMorgan hiring to its ability to win business, or suggest that the employees were unqualified, the Times reported. It also noted that there’s nothing illegal about hiring well-connected people, as long as they’re qualified for the job.

HAILEY, Idaho (AP) — Fire managers are expressing optimism in their battle against a wildfire that has scorched nearly 160 square miles and forced the evacuation of 2,300 homes near two central Idaho resort communities. Officials said Sunday the fire near Ketchum and Sun Valley grew only about 12 square miles because of cloud cover the day before and the arrival of additional firefighters. More than 1,200 people are now assigned to the Beaver Creek Fire, which is 9 percent contained. Fire managers say both of the nation’s DC-10 jet retardant bombers have been used, but one experienced an engine malfunction after a drop Thursday. The jet made it back safely to Pocatello in southeastern Idaho but remains unavailable. Fire spokeswoman Shawna Hartman says nearly 90 fire engines are in the region, many protecting structures. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below. More people were forced from their homes outside the posh central Idaho ski town of Ketchum as a wildfire stoked by strong winds made a push to the north. The number of residences evacuated by the blaze rose to more than 2,300 by Saturday evening. But despite the adverse conditions and extreme fire behavior, some progress was made on the Beaver Creek Fire’s south end, where crews conducted mop-up along the borders of blackened foothills west of the Hailey. Lightning ignited the blaze Aug. 7. Fire officials estimated it grew to 144 square miles Friday night, fed by dry timber and underbrush. But they expect a more accurate size assessment after a plane with infrared cameras flies over the burn Saturday night. The fire is 6 percent

contained. More than 700 firefighters have been deployed to the mountains west of this affluent region, where celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis own pricey getaways. Five more hotshot crews arrived Saturday, and more are expected to arrive this weekend to continue focusing on protecting homes in a sparsely populated county. “It was a good day from the standpoint that we had no injuries, no lives lost, and no homes and property burned,” fire spokeswoman Lucie Bond said. “Firefighters have been going house-to-house to decrease the risk. We’re simply not going to leave homes unprotected.” Elsewhere, in northern Utah, about 10 homes were destroyed when a wildfire raced through the community of Willow Springs late Friday. As of midday Saturday, the Patch Springs Fire had burned more than 50 square miles. It was 20 percent contained. The Beaver Creek Fire is the nation’s top-priority wildfire, in part because it’s burning so close to homes and subdivisions. Early Saturday, the firefight was hampered by thick smoke that engulfed Hailey, a town with 7,900 inhabitants 14 miles south of Ketchum, home of the Sun Valley Ski Resort. Smoke stretching across the tight Big Wood River Valley also grounded the air attack on the blaze, putting more pressure on fire crews building fire lines on the ground. But by midday, the smoke cleared enough to scramble helicopters that targeted fires burning in the mountains and foothills that shoulder Hailey and north to Ketchum. Fire managers also turned to a huge DC-10 tanker to resume retardant drops all across a fire that is burning hotter and faster than the Castle Rock Fire that threatened these towns in 2007.

AP Photo This 2009 photo provided by the United States Enrichment Corporation shows workers at a control room in the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, Ky. In May 2013, plant operators announced they were shutting it down. They laid off 160 workers at the end of last week and expect to let another 100 go in October. Altogether, it looks like more than 1,000 workers will be left without jobs, losing generous salaries that will be nearly impossible to match elsewhere in the region.

Kentucky plant closure disrupts workers’ lives PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — Jim Rodgers assumed his job as an electrician at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant would take him all the way to retirement. After all, for six decades the government-owned uranium-enrichment plant was synonymous with job security and some of the region’s best wages. It supported multiple generations and supplied a steady stream of revenue to the community’s restaurants, dry cleaners, real estate companies and other local businesses. And yet, with a decade or more to go in his working life, Rodgers, 53, is now brushing off his resume and looking for a new job, possibly in another city or state. “It’s not one of these little bumps in the road,” Rodgers said. “It is literally life changing.” In May, the operators of the Cold War-era plant located a few miles outside Paducah in McCracken County announced they would shut it down. They laid off about 160 employees at the end of last week and expect to let another 100 go in October. Uraniumenrichment work ceased weeks ago. Altogether, it looks like more than 1,000 workers will be pushed out of their jobs, losing generous salaries that will be nearly impossible to match elsewhere in the region. The McCracken County plant was one of the area’s largest employees, and the average salary for plant workers, including benefits, was $125,000. The plant opened in 1952 to develop enriched uranium for military reactors and to produce nuclear weapons. It began selling uranium for commercial reactors in the 1960s. The plant has been run by several operators through the years, the most recent being Maryland-based USEC Inc. (NYSE:USU) under a lease deal with the U.S. Department of Energy. USEC announced in May that it was ending work at the plant, citing soft demand for enriched uranium along with steep production costs. “The plant put Paducah on the map,” said James Harbison, a retired maintenance worker. “And its leaving is going to take it off the map, unless we get

something in here. There are no jobs around here comparable to that one there.” Workers have few options, Harbison noted: “They’re either going to have to take a cut in pay and change their standard of living — or leave the area.” Businesses that supplied products or services to the plant are also bracing for a loss of revenue, as are mom-andpop stores that count plant workers among their customers. Eddie Leigh worries the plant shutdown will hurt his barbecue restaurant, situated a few miles away. Leigh’s father started the eatery before the plant opened, and the two businesses have relied on each other for years. More than a third of the restaurant’s business comes from the plant’s workers, Eddie Leigh said. Asked if his business can survive the plant’s loss, he replied: “I’m going to try. I’m like everybody else: Do what we can. I can’t answer that question because I don’t know.” Local real estate agent David Nelson worries about a glut of houses with forsale signs in their yards. “It’s going to become a buyers’ market and it’s going to take longer to sell these houses,” Nelson said. “I’m probably more concerned about McCracken County than I’ve ever been economically.” Charities and churches could lose contributions from displaced workers who once were generous donors. “Those who were at the giving end may be at the need-to-receive end,” said Rodgers, the electrician. Rodgers has applied for jobs as far away as Oregon but so far hasn’t gotten any replies. But he plans to keep sending resumes until he finds work in new surroundings. His children are grown, so he thinks he will be better able to pick up and leave than his co-workers who have young children. Area colleges, workforce development officials and government leaders are teaming up to try to limit the economic damage. Job fairs are being offered and plant workers are being surveyed to gauge their interest in retraining or starting their own businesses.

Advocates rally around Pa. assisted suicide case

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — No one may ever know Barbara Mancini’s intentions when she allegedly handed her dying 93-year-old father a bottle of morphine at his central Pennsylvania home. Did she want to relieve his pain? Help him end his life? Both? Joe Yourshaw died four days later at a hospital. That was after a hospice nurse making a call to check on Yourshaw arrived at the home a short time later and called 911, despite a “Do Not Resuscitate” order. In the interim, Yourshaw was given a drug antidote, awoke agitated over his hospitalization, and became upset when told his daughter might be in trouble, according to Mancini’s supporters. “Don’t hurt Barbara,” he cried, according to Compassion & Choices, a Denverbased group that supports “death with dignity” laws and has advocated for Mancini since her arrest in June. A trim, silver-haired hospital nurse from Philadelphia, she is just the latest person caught in the crosshairs of the nation’s assisted-suicide debate. While Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont allow at least some types of assisted suicide, and another half-dozen states have considered it, most states ban the practice, and a small number of people are prosecuted in the U.S. each year.

“She told me that her father wanted to die and she gave him the morphine,” Pottsville Police Capt. Steve Durkin testified at Mancini’s preliminary hearing this month, when a judge in Schuylkill County upheld the assisted suicide charge. Mancini, a 57-year-old wife, mother and daughter is now heading for trial, while supporters attack state Attorney General Kathleen Kane for pursuing the case. Yourshaw suffered from end-stage diabetes and heart problems before he died in February. “This chilling precedent could impact tens of millions of baby boomers caring for their aging and dying parents,” Compassion & Choices said in a news release. If her case plays out like most, a judge or jury will sympathize with Mancini, and she will get probation or community service, according to medical ethicist Art Caplan. “Very few of them turn out to be anything other than motivated by love or concern, or mercy. But a few do,” said Caplan, who therefore believes that authorities need to review such deaths for potential abuses. “They’re checking to … establish what really happened. Was it really because that’s what her dad wanted, or was she just tired of visiting?” he said.

Logano gets crucial win Holds off Harvick to seal victory at Michigan BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Joey Logano gave Ford a Sprint Cup sweep in Michigan — and enabled team owner Roger Penske to celebrate a victory in his home state. Now Logano can start to envision a happy finish to what has been an eventful season for the 23-year-old driver. “We’re close, we’re close,” Logano said. “What a great place to win — what a great time to win, being in Ford’s backyard.” Logano boosted his chances of reaching the Chase for the Sprint Cup, winning for the first time this season in a fuel-mileage race at Michigan

International Speedway on Sunday. Logano and Kevin Harvick both breezed past Mark Martin with just over three laps to go in the 400-mile, 200-lap race. Martin had been trying to stretch fuel, but when he faltered, Logano was able to hold off Harvick. The win put Logano in 13th place in the standings. He’s seven points behind Martin Truex Jr. for the second wild card. It’s been an up-and-down year for Logano. He and teammate Brad Keselowski were • See WIN on page 14

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey throws during the first inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday in Milwaukee.

Chip off his shoulder Bailey leads Reds past Brewers, 9-1

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Homer Bailey didn’t let the Milwaukee Brewers’ earlier success bother himv one bit. Bailey allowed one run and three hits in eight innings, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Brewers 9-1 on Sunday. Bailey (8-10) won his third straight decision by beating a team that has given him trouble in the past. He improved his career mark against Milwaukee to 2-7 in 14 starts with his first win in three starts against the Brewers this season. “For some reason this team has usually done pretty well against me,” Bailey said. “I never really thought about it,

so I just kind of went out there and tried to pitch a little bit.” He did more than a little bit against the Brewers, thanks to good fastball location and a tough curveball. “He’s got incredible stuff,” Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett said. “He was getting ahead for the most part. When guys with good stuff get ahead, it makes it that much harder.” Gennett’s double in the second, and Khris Davis’ solo shot in the fifth and infield single in the seventh were the only hits for the Brewers. “We didn’t have that timely hit,” Gennett said. “He was down for the most part, in and out of the zone, working in and out of the zone with pretty much all of his offspeed pitches, which makes it quite tough to hit.” Bailey walked one and struck

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Oscar Pistorius is due to re-appear in a South African court on Monday to face charges of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Here’s what is expected to happen next: Indictment: The 26-year-old double-amputee Olympian will be indicted Pistorius on a main charge of premeditated murder on Monday at Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, prosecutors say, confirming they will maintain the charge they initially laid against Pistorius for Steenkamps’s shooting death in

February when they go to trial. Pistorius denies he committed murder and says he shot Steenkamp by mistake thinking she was a dangerous intruder. The blockbuster trial is expected to start in early 2014 but the exact date will likely be set on Monday, according to prosecutors. It will probably be in February or March, around a year since Steenkamp’s killing. The indictment papers served on Pistorius by the state mean the case will be sent to the High Court in the South African capital Pretoria, where

out eight, including Juan Francisco three times. “Since we have seen these guys so many times, I am starting to get a better feel for them,” Bailey said after earning his first win at Miller Park. Bailey had been 0-3 in five career starts in Milwaukee. The Reds, who lost 2-0 on Saturday night, batted around in the second inning as an erratic Wily Peralta (8-13) allowed five runs. Cincinnati sent 10 men to the plate in the fifth and tacked on four more runs. “You play for the big inning, and if not, you play for one,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “To get big innings like that is huge.” The victory sent the Reds back to Cincinnati with a successful seven-game road trip. • See CHIP on page 14

Pistorius trial: What happens next

a judge will preside over the trial and ultimately pronounce the world-famous athlete innocent or guilty. South Africa does not have trial by jury. The mandatory sentence for someone convicted of premeditated murder is life with a minimum of 25 years in prison, meaning if Pistorius is found guilty, he will be older than 50, at least, when he leaves prison. There is no death penalty in South Africa. The indictment papers are expected to include a list of witnesses to be called by the prosecution during the trial, and detail some of the evidence police investigators have • See TRIAL on page 14

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Chris Young and Alberto Callaspo homered in the fifth inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians 7-3 on Sunday. Jed Lowrie, batting leadoff for only the third time this season, had two hits and scored twice for Oakland. Josh Donaldson drove in three runs as the A’s pulled within a half-game of AL West-leading Texas. Young hit his 11th home run off Cleveland starter Scott Kazmir (7-6) to break a 3-all tie in the fifth. Three pitches later, Callaspo followed with his sixth homer and first since being acquired from the Los Angeles Angels in late July. Ryan Raburn homered for Cleveland, which has lost six of its last seven in Oakland. Dan Otero (2-0) retired five batters for the win in relief of starter Tommy Milone. Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his 32nd save. One day after being held to a season-low three hits in a 7-1 loss to the Indians, the A’s jumped on Kazmir early behind a reshuffled lineup that had Lowrie in the leadoff spot, catcher Derek Norris batting second and Donaldson third. Lowrie singled and scored in the first, then doubled and scored in the second. Norris added two hits and reached base four times while Donaldson had a pair of RBI singles and also drove in a run on a groundout in the first. Kazmir had a rough afternoon while pitching on eight days’ rest. The left-hander had been moved back after saying he had a “dead arm” after his previous start. Kazmir gave up a pair of early two-out scoring hits in the first two innings. He was hit by Josh Reddick’s liner that ricocheted off him and went into right field in the third. Ahead 5-3, Oakland got a boost when left fielder Yoenis Cespedes threw out Nick Swisher at second base in the seventh when he tried to extend a single. Center fielder Chris Young made a stellar play to rob Michael Brantley of extra bases in the eighth. Raburn homered in the second, hitting a towering solo shot that bounced high off the wall beyond the center-field fence. Called up from Triple-A Sacramento before the game, Milone ran into trouble in the third following Callaspo’s throwing error at third base.

gathered in the six months since Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp in a bathroom in his home on Valentine’s Day. Additional charges: Prosecutors told The Associated Press it is “possible” that additional charges could be added to the indictment but declined to comment on South African media reports that Pistorius would face two other charges relating to recklessly discharging a firearm in a public place in two separate incidents. The incidents — reportedly when Pistorius shot a gun out of the sunroof of a moving car and let one off accidentally in a restaurant — would seemingly show the prosecution’s attempt to paint Pistorius as trigger-happy at his trial. Neither Pistorius’ defense lawyers nor his family would comment in detail on any of the charges, but a spokes-

woman said they would see a copy of the indictment papers before Monday so they could prepare. “The Pistorius family does not wish to comment on any aspects of this court case before the next court appearance,” Anneliese Burgess told the AP in an email. “In our view, the correct place for any information relating to charges or witnesses or any other aspects pertaining to this or any other legal case, is in a court of law.” The investigation: Last week, police announced they had completed their six-month investigation into Steenkamp’s killing at Pistorius’ upscale home in Pretoria in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 and were “convinced the accused has a charge to answer to.” Effectively, police have finished gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses and the prosecution

Finishing strong: MOSCOW (AP) — Usain Bolt stumbled on the track, even almost fell down. Don’t worry, everybody, it wasn’t in the race. No, this near-tumble happened in the middle of his celebratory dance, when a barefooted Bolt hammed it up after winning a third gold medal on the last day of the world championships. He even tossed his spikes into the crowd. And why not? He certainly didn’t need them anymore. His work was finished. In the very last race of the championships Sunday, Bolt grabbed the gold-colored baton for his anchor leg of the 4x100-meter relay and churned toward the finish line, huffing and puffing to generate more speed. Not that he needed it. Justin Gatlin couldn’t catch him. The rest of the field couldn’t catch him, either. Very few can catch him — he’s simply in a class by himself. “For me, my aim is to continue hard (toward) the greatness thing,” said Bolt, whose team finished in a world-leading time of 37.36 seconds. “Continue dominating.” Oh, he did that all right, winning gold in the 100, gold in the 200 and even more gold in the relay. With that, Bolt became the most decorated athlete in world championship history with eight golds and two silvers, moving past Carl Lewis (8 golds, 1 silver, 1 bronze) and Michael Johnson (8 golds). “It’s not just about the talent, it’s about rising to the occasion. He understands what that means,” said Gatlin, who anchored the U.S. to a silver medal despite momentarily stepping outside his lane. “That takes you up another level. To be able to rise to the occasion when an entire stadium full of people are either rooting for you or want to see you fail and you’re able to hold it together, that takes talent.” Overshadowed by Bolt mania was the performance of teammate Shelly-Ann FraserPryce, who also won three sprinting events. She finished it off by breaking away from the field in the 4x100, easily beating an American squad that struggled to get the baton around — again. Originally finishing third after a bad exchange, the Americans were later bumped up to second after France was disqualified. Still, the Jamaicans went 6-0 in the sprints against the U.S. in Moscow. These days, the proud sprinting nation owns this rivalry. “As a country, we should be elated,” Fraser-Pryce said. As a nation, the Americans may be searching for some answers. Sure, the United States won an impressive 25

is ready to go to trial. The statement, from the office of South Africa’s national police commissioner, said detectives, forensic experts, ballistics experts, psychologists and technology experts all worked on the case and are confident that they have the evidence to convict Pistorius. “The South African Police Service is hopeful that justice will prevail,” the statement said. The most telling evidence may be in records on cellphones found at Pistorius’ home and through examination of the toilet cubicle door through which Pistorius shot four bullets, hitting Steenkamp three times and killing her. The angle or trajectory of the bullets could show if Pistorius was standing on his stumps when he shot, as he says, or if he was on his prosthetics, as the prosecution maintains — a marked

difference in the two accounts. Pistorius in public: Pistorius was seen just twice in public between the time he was granted bail on Feb. 22 and his most recent appearance in court on June 4. Since he was last in court, his family has announced he would return to a “low-key” track routine and he was seen jogging on his regular practice facility, and sporting a short beard, in late June. Last Monday, a South African newspaper published photographs of Pistorius on a beach during a holiday with friends. In the rare public appearance, Pistorius was wearing a white T-shirt and a life-vest as he paddled with another man in a kayak. In another photo, he is standing on the beach in shorts, his pale prosthetic legs exposed to the sunshine.

Bolt ends worlds with another gold, wins 4x100

AP PHOTO Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, right, goes to cross the finish line ahead of United States’ Justin Gatlin, second from right, and Germany’s Martin Keller in the women’s 4x100-meter relay final at the World Athletics Championships in the Luzhniki stadium Sunday in Moscow, Russia.

medals. But only six of them were gold as Russia edged them with seven, making it the first time the U.S. failed to at least tie for the gold-medal lead since the first world championships in Helsinki 30 years ago. “Yeah, but look at how many young athletes we have on our team,” Gatlin said. Once again, the relays caused problems for the Americans. First, a botched exchange in the women’s race. Then, a stumble by Gatlin in the men’s competition. The night before, a shaky exchange in the women’s 4x400 final. The absence of Allyson Felix didn’t help. The eighttime world champion tore her hamstring in the 200 final and was unavailable for either relay. Felix did wish her team luck. “Said we were going to do great,” Jeneba Tarmoh said. They were off to a solid enough start, until the pass between the second and third legs. English Gardner took off too fast and Alexandria Anderson couldn’t catch up. Gardner had to apply the brakes. Anchor Octavious Freeman made up ground, but FraserPryce was already way too far

ahead. “We had a little mishap, a little mistake,” Gardner said. “You really can’t have a mistake.” In the men’s race, the Americans were in a position to possibly give Bolt something he hasn’t had at these championships — a run for his title. That’s when Gatlin stumbled, stepping momentarily into Bolt’s lane after the Jamaican surged ahead. Gone was any chance of an electric finish. “I was able to collect myself, but it wasn’t enough,” said Gatlin, who beat Bolt in the 100 in London two months ago. As his team made their way around the track in a celebration lap, Gatlin half-expected a tap on the shoulder telling him the team was DQed. They weren’t. “I’m still happy the medal is still around our neck,” Gatlin said. Matthew Centrowitz had quite a performance in the 1,500, surging down the stretch to finish with a silver medal. His father, Matt, never got a chance to earn a medal in this stadium due to the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

“It’s still weird coming into this country and this venue, knowing that he would’ve raced here, 30-some years ago,” the son said. “Getting that silver medal was sweet enough.” Too bad his dad didn’t get to see the finish. The power went out just as he watched the race at a sports bar back home in Washington, D.C., and had to scramble to find out the result. “It’s awesome. Just amazing,” the elder Centrowitz said in a phone interview. “It’s the highlight of his life. A silver medal in worlds? Just incredible.” In other finals Sunday: — Christina Obergfoell of Germany won her first major javelin title. — Teddy Tamgho of France captured the triple jump with American Will Claye claiming bronze. — Eunice Sum of Kenya took the women’s 800 meters. Brenda Martinez of the United States was third. But as at most major meets, the day belonged to Bolt. It was his stage and he relished every step of it, dancing his way around the track to the point where he almost fell over. “I just went along with the music,” Bolt said.

docked 25 points each after NASCAR inspectors confiscated parts from the rear suspensions of their cars before the April 13 race at Texas. More recently, Logano has had to recover from back-to-back 40th-place showings at Daytona and Loudon, but he’s now right in the middle of a wild race for the final Chase spots. “A roller coaster, to say the least,” Logano said. “We’ve just got to keep that momentum going. It just goes to show, as long as nothing goes wrong — knock on wood — we’ve been pretty good. We’ve had some good speed in our cars.” Everything went pretty much according to plan at Michigan. Logano won the pole Friday and took Sunday’s race by a second over Harvick, who is safely in fourth place in the standings. “I was very pleased with the day,” Harvick said. “It’s just going to come down to getting on a hot streak over 10 weeks and not making any mistakes.” There are three races left before the Chase, and the jockeying for the final spots is just as muddled as it was before Sunday’s race. Keselowski, the defending champion, is still in eighth place with 667 points, but Kurt Busch is now only two points behind him after a third-place showing Sunday. Greg Biffle (663) is in 10th place. Kasey Kahne (659) and Truex (653) are currently in line to be the wild cards, but Logano closed a lot of ground. Points leader Jimmie Johnson lasted less than 60 laps Sunday before engine trouble knocked him out. He still has a 41-point lead over Clint Bowyer. Biffle finished ninth after winning the previous two Cup races at Michigan. His victory in June was the 1,000th for Ford Motor Company across NASCAR’s three national series — Cup, Nationwide and Truck. Biffle drives for Roush Fenway Racing. This time, it was Penske’s turn to celebrate. “I go back about 30 years here at the track — this is probably one of the biggest wins,” Penske said. “I say it’s my home state, it’s my home track, and Detroit’s my city.” It was the third Cup win of Logano’s career, and it came after he posted the ninth-fastest pole-winning speed in NASCAR history during Friday’s qualifying. Johnson, Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were among the big names to have problems, but the race was a clean one for Logano in his No. 22 Ford. He was battling Kurt Busch for the lead at the very start and needed only to outlast Harvick at the end. Sunday’s race began with 10 of the first 17 laps under caution. There were nine cautions in all, and Logano and Kurt Busch led for 94 of the 200 laps — nearly half the race. The 54-year-old Martin emerged late, making a bid for his first Cup win since 2009, but his fuel didn’t hold up. He finished 27th. “We saved a bunch of gas but we needed one more yellow,” Martin said. “One more yellow and we would have been in good shape.” Johnson finished 40th and is now winless in 24 Cup starts at MIS. His lost weekend began when a practice crash Saturday forced him to use a backup car and start in the back of the field. He quickly made his way into contention before the engine problem ended his day.

They swept a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs before heading to Milwaukee. “Main thing, we had a pretty good road trip, 5-2,” Baker said. “We will be happy with what we got.” Peralta gave up singles to the first four batters, capped by Ryan Hanigan’s two-run hit. A walk to Shin-Soo Choo loaded the bases for Joey Votto, and a passed ball added another run. The Brewers walked Votto intentionally and set up Peralta to face Brandon Phillips, who

was 1-12 against the righthander. Phillips’ two-run single foiled the move and gave Bailey a 5-0 lead in the second. Peralta settled down for the next two innings, but walked Phillips to start the fifth. He advanced on a wild pitch and took third on a fly ball to the warning track in right. Chris Heisey ended Peralta’s 26th start of the season with a runscoring single. Peralta seemed puzzled trying to explain his inconsistency.

“I don’t know,” he said. “Today was a tough day. I’ve got to figure out a better command with the fastball. I didn’t have that much command of my pitches.” Tyler Thornburg took over, but struggled just as much as Peralta. The Reds batted around for the second time and capitalized on Thornburg’s wildness. He issued four walks, including two with the bases loaded, and allowed a run-scoring single to Hanigan, who had two hits and three RBIs.

Alfredo Simon pitched the ninth for the Reds. Bailey struggled a bit after throwing his second-career nohitter with a 3-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on July 2. He lost the next four starts, but turned it around with two consecutive wins. Peralta was totally unlike the last time he faced the Reds at Miller Park. In what might have been the best start of his first full season in the majors, he threw a three-hitter on July 9 in Milwaukee’s 2-0 win.

But he allowed seven runs and eight hits, walked four and struck out four over 4 1-3 innings on Sunday. He slipped to 1-3 in four starts this season against the Reds. “Last start we faced him, we did well against him,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of Bailey. “He’s got great stuff, and he’s the same thing as Wily. When he’s got command, and he (Bailey) had command of all his pitches, he’s going to be very difficult to hit.”

Luck throws for 2 TDs as Colts beat Giants, 20-12 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Andrew Luck threw for 107 yards and two touchdowns and the Indianapolis Colts responded to criticism by owner Jim Irsay with a 2012 exhibition victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night. Irsay used Twitter to apologize to fans for the Colts' abysmal showing in a 44-20 loss to Buffalo last week, and the Colts (1-1) improved markedly, with some help from the bubbling and suddenly injuryconcerned Giants (1-1). New York wide receiver Victor Cruz (bruised heel) and starting center David Baas (sprained knee) left the game and the Giants did little on offense. Not seeing much pressure, Luck threw touchdown passes of 28 yards to Reggie Wayne and 18 to T.Y. Hilton in leading the Colts to 17 points. Adam Vinatieri added a 52-yard field goal as Indianapolis scored on three consecutive series. Backup kicker Brandon McManus added a 50-yard field goal in the second half. New York's Josh Brown kicked field goals of 25, 27 and 45 yards in the first half. The last one came after Giants coach Tom Coughlin was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the previous play for coming down the sideline and yelling at the side judge for a supposed non-call. Brown added a 47-yard field goal with 8:43 to play to close out the scoring. Luck, who led the Colts to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth in his rookie season, completed 9 of 13 passes, but the one most will remember will be the gift touchdown courtesy of veteran Giants cornerback Aaron Ross, who was starting for the injured Corey Webster.

Rodriguez hit by pitch vs. Red Sox BOSTON (AP) — Alex Rodriguez got hit by a fastball from Boston starter Ryan Dempster in the second inning Sunday night, setting off an angry scene at Fenway Park and leading to the ejection of New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi. A-Rod answered with his bat in the sixth by hitting his 649th career home run. The game between the longtime rivals quickly turned testy, with the benches and bullpens clearing and the teams being warned about beanballs by plate umpire Brian O'Nora. Dempster appeared to take aim at Rodriguez, who recently was suspended for 211 games by Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis drug case. Rodriguez appealed the penalty and can play until there is a final decision. Booed when he was on deck at the end of the first inning, Rodriguez was jeered when he led off the second inning. Fans chanted "You're a cheater!" as Dempster threw his first pitch behind Rodriguez's knees. Dempster missed inside with the next two pitches and then threw a fastball that hit A-Rod's elbow pad and deflected into his back. O'Nora immediately issued an emphatic warning to both benches, and a trainer escorted Rodriguez to first base. Rodriguez stared at Dempster, but made no move toward the mound. Girardi, however, ran onto the field and began hollering at O'Nora. Presumably in disbelief that Dempster hadn't been ejected, a livid Girardi wildly swung his fist — and it came near O'Nora's chin. In the sixth, Rodriguez hit a leadoff drive to straightaway center field against Dempster and let out a scream as he rounded first base. The three-time MVP clapped his hands as he stepped on home plate and pointed to sky.

Reed beats Spieth in playoff at Wyndham within two strokes of the lead. • Solheim Cup PARKER, Colo. — Europe showed Sunday it can win the Solheim Cup anywhere. Caroline Hedwall became the first player in Solheim Cup history to win all five of her matches, holing a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 1-up victory that assured the Europeans retaining the cup. Moments later, Catriona Matthew finished off a rally to halve her match against Gerina Piller. That gave Europe 14½ points for its first win on American soil since this event in 1990. Charley Hull, the 17-year-old teenager and the youngest player in Solheim Cup history, capped off her amazing week by demolishing Paula Creamer in a match that set the tone for Europe. Carlota Ciganda of Spain handed Morgan Pressel her first lost in singles in four appearances to go 3-0 for the week. Not even a one-hour delay due to lightning in the area could damper this European celebration. Suzann Pettersen was lining up her putt on the 16th hole when she heard the cheers from the 18th, got the news and began pumping her first. Europe still trails 8-5 in the competition, but this was the first time it has won backto-back.

champion in the modern era of the PGA Tour. John Huh and Brian Harman were two strokes behind. Harman had a 66, and Huh shot 68. Matt Jones matched the tournament record for a final round with a 62 and finished at 11 under along with Matt Every (67) and Zach Johnson (68). Reed — who let a three-stroke lead on the back nine slip away — missed a chance to win it on the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th. Spieth recovered from a terrible drive and saved par with a snaking 25-foot putt. Reed pushed his 7-foot birdie putt wide of the hole, sending it to a second extra hole. Spieth and Huh both caught Reed at 14 under down the stretch in regulation. At roughly the same time Reed bogeyed the par-3 16th, Spieth birdied the par-4 17th and closed with a par. Huh quickly slipped off the pace after finishing with two bogeys. Reed, who led or shared the lead after the second and third rounds, also could have won it in regulation after landing his approach shot on the 18th in the center of the green. But he left his approximately 20-foot birdie putt short and tapped in to force the playoff. At the end of the day, the leaderboard looked much like it did at the start — tightly bunched. Eight players began the round

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — In the span of a couple of strokes, Patrick Reed went from almost certain disaster to his first PGA Tour victory. Reed won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday for his first title, beating Jordan Spieth with a most improbable birdie on the second hole of a playoff. Reed recovered from a drive on the par-4 10th that came a few feet from going out of bounds and stopped in some pine needles in the woods near a television cable. Reed pulled out his 7-iron, uncorked a baseball swing from an uphill lie and sent the ball under a tree branch — yet away from the tree trunk — to land his second shot 7 feet from the pin. Spieth, who called it “one of the best shots I’ve ever witnessed,” had reached the green in two strokes, but his 10-foot birdie putt trickled wide of the cup. Reed then sank his short birdie putt that “felt like it was 40” feet to end it. Reed, who had his third straight top-10 finish, earned $954,000 in prize money and 500 FedEx Cup points for winning the final tournament before the playoffs. Reed and Spieth finished regulation at 14-under 266. Reed closed with a 4-under 66, and Spieth had a 65. The 20-year-old Spieth, the John Deere winner in a playoff last month, was denied in his bid to become youngest two-time

Nadal, Azarenka win 1st titles in Cincy CINCINNATI (AP) — Rafael Nadal extended his sizzling summer with a first-time title. One set away from a breakthrough of her own, No. 1 Serena Williams wilted. Nadal took advantage of the few openings he got against John Isner on Sunday, grinding out a 7-6 (8), 7-6 (3) win at the Western & Southern Open that added yet another title to his sensational summer. The 27-year-old Spaniard won the championship in Montreal a week ago and has back-to-back hard-court championships for the first time in his illustrious career. He’d never even reached the finals in Cincinnati. When his backhand down the line finished it off, Nadal flopped on his back and screamed. “It means a lot winning two straight titles on hard (courts),” Nadal said. “It’s just amazing for me. I never did something like this in my career. “So it was an emotional moment.” Williams had never won a Cincinnati

title, either. Like Nadal, she was trying for her second championship in two weeks, fresh off her championship in Toronto. She dominated the first set, then fell apart, giving No. 2 Victoria Azarenka a chance to rally for a 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6) win that ended Williams’ 14-match winning streak. It was reminiscent of their finals match at the U.S. Open last year, when Williams took the last four games to win 6-2, 2-6, 7-5. The week in Cincinnati provided a preview for the U.S. Open, with the men’s bracket more jumbled at the top. “I would say Rafa is the favorite going to the U.S.,” Isner said. “Clear-cut? I wouldn’t say that. I think he’d probably say the same. “If you compare maybe him and Serena, I think Serena is probably a more clearcut favorite on the women’s side than Rafa is on the men’s side, but he certainly is going to be super tough to beat considering he just won back-to-back Masters events on hard courts.”

John Carlos took a stand for human rights during the Mexico City Olympics that resonates to this day. Almost 45 years ago, Carlos climbed on the medals podium along with Tommie Smith. Each thrust a black-gloved fist toward the sky. Peter Norman stood in front of them, stoically wearing a badge that showed his support for the African-American cause. Let’s hope the athletes of the world are prepared to make a similar statement at the Sochi Games. They’re the best hope of getting through to the Russians that their anti-gay law is unacceptable. “We were willing to sacrifice everything,” Carlos said. “It was not just a gesture for John Carlos and Tommie Smith and Peter Norman. It was for all of society.” Carlos, as much as anyone, knows that sports can be a potent tool to help address society’s ills. “I’ll bet there are athletes out there that have as much power or recognition as the president of the United States,” he told The Associated Press. “Now, when I say power, I don’t mean they have the political power to dictate things one way or the other. I’m talking about a power amongst the people. So many people will stop and listen to what these individuals have to say. They will stop and recognize what they are wearing or which direction they are going.” What would be more powerful than every athlete carrying a small rainbow flag — a symbol of the gay

pride movement — when they walk into stadium in Sochi during the opening ceremony? What would be more powerful than every athlete who wins a medal climbing on that podium with a replica of the OPHR (Olympic Project for Human Rights) badge that Smith, Normal and Carlos wore while receiving their medals at the ‘68 Summer Games? Wonder how that would go over with Vladimir Putin? Let’s hope we get to find out. Certainly, there’s no chance of the International Olympic Committee taking any meaningful steps after Russia’s recent passage of a law that bans so-called gay “propaganda.” Some of that is understandable, given we’re only months away from the start of the Winter Games — too short a timeframe to pull the mammoth event from Sochi and award it to another city, at least without delaying the games until 2015. But also, as we saw in Beijing, the IOC is more concerned about its bottom line than advancing the cause of human rights. The Russians insist this is a non-issue being pushed by the West to embarrass the Olympic hosts as they prepare for their moment on the world stage, that the law is merely designed to protect children and there is no desire to criminalize homosexuality. But every time they addressed the complaints during the world athletics championships, which wrapped up Sunday in Moscow, they stepped in the you-know-what.
