Citing sarin use, US seeks Congress’ OK for action WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration geared up for the biggest foreign policy vote since the Iraq war by arguing Sunday that new physical evidence shows the Syrian government used sarin gas in a deadly August attack. With its credibility on the line, the United States must respond, the country’s top diplomat said.

Members of Congress, deadlocked on just about everything these days and still on summer

break, expressed sharply divergent opinions about whether to give President Barack Obama the goahead he requested to retaliate with military force against the Assad regime, and what turning down the commander in chief could mean for America’s reputation.

Presenting Obama’s case for military action, Secretary of State John Kerry gave a series of interviews on Sunday news shows outlining the latest informa-

tion the administration has received about the Aug. 21 attack in the Damascus suburbs that the U.S. says killed 1,429 civilians, including more than 400 children. He said samples collected by first responders added to the growing body of proof that Syria’s government launched a chemical weapons attack.

“Samples of hair and blood have been tested and they have reported positive for signatures of sarin,” Kerry said.

“Each day that goes by, this case is even stronger.

We know that the regime ordered this attack. We know they prepared for it. We know where the rockets came from. We know where they landed.

We know the damage that was done afterwards.”

Sarin, which affects the nervous system and is toxic in liquid or gas form, can be delivered in missiles, bombs, rockets or artillery shells. The gas is outlawed under international rules of

warfare. The reference to hair and blood samples were the first pieces of specific physiological evidence cited by any member of the administration, which previously spoke only about an unnamed nerve agent.

Kerry ’s assertion coincided with the beginning of a forceful administration appeal for congressional support, now that Obama has declared he will

Police see low incidents of crime

By Melody Vallieu Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com

For a weekend filled with more than 30,000 visitors for the Mumford & Sons Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tour, local law enforcement believes things went pretty well.

Troy Police Department Captain Joe Long said Sunday evening that there were very few incidents for such a large crowd, and although he didn’t have any officials numbers put together, it was a fairly quiet weekend for such a big event.

“All-in-all, it was pretty mild,” Long said. “There was very little incidents.

It was a mild weekend compared to how many people were in town.”

Long said when big events happen in the city, law enforcement usually expects about 1 percent of the population to act up and need police intervention.

Workers’ protests highlight fast-food economics NEW YORK (AP) — American fast-food workers often earn about $7.25 an hour to make the $3 chicken sandwiches and 99-cent tacos that generate billions of dollars in profit each year for McDonald’s and other chains.

Thousands of the nation’s many millions of fast-food workers and their supporters have been staging protests across the country in the past year to call attention to the struggles of living on or close to the federal minimum wage. The push raises the question of whether the economics of the fast-food industry allow room for a boost in pay for its workers.

The industry is built on a business model that keeps costs —

including those for labor — low so companies can make money while satisfying America’s love of cheap, fast food. And no group along the food chain, from the customers to the companies, wants to foot the bill for higher wages for workers.

Customers want a deal when they order burgers and fries. But those cheap eats squeeze franchise store owners who say they already survive on slim margins.

And the corporations have to grow profits to keep shareholders happy.

“There’s no room in the fastfood business model for substantially higher pay levels without raising prices for food,” says Richard Adams, a former McDonald’s franchisee who now

runs a fast-food consulting business.

Caught in that triangle are the workers. The median hourly wage for a fast-food cook last year was $9, up from about $7 a decade ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But many workers make the federal minimum wage, which was last raised in 2009. At $7.25 an hour, that’s about $15,000 a year, assuming a 40-hour workweek.

It’s well less than half of the median salary of an American worker.

The protests come as President Obama has called for an increase of the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour, with some members of Congress and economists calling for a hike as

well. And the fast-food workers movement is getting financial support as well as training from organizers of the Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million workers.

Workers protesting in cities including New York, Chicago and Detroit, are pushing for $15 an hour, which would mean wages of $31,000 a year. But the figure is seen as more of a rallying point and many say they’d be happy with even a few bucks more.

“Anything to make it more reasonable,” says Jamal Harris, 21, who earns $7.40 an hour working at three different fast-

Farewell n Continued from page 1 as they could go,” City of Troy Service and Safety Director Patrick Titteringon said. “I think 95 percent of the people weren’t bothered by it because they knew we could handle such a great event. We didn’t have any of the bad stuff some people were worried about — everything went as scheduled, the sky didn’t fall and we didn’t have armageddon.”

A quick drive around Troy at 4 p.m.

Sunday revealed that clean-up efforts in downtown Troy already were well under way. All of the streets that had been shut down for the concert had been reopened, the stage inside Troy Memorial Stadium was being dismantled, the thousands of tents that had lined the Miami River levee had been taken down and trash removal crews were picking up full trash bags throughout the festival area.

“We started (Saturday) night,” Titterington said. “Our target time to have all the streets open was 5 p.m., which we were right on track to meet.

Things are going as planned. I give a lot of credit not only to the city employees, but to our partners in the community.

We also had the right partners with the production company, Jam Productions.

“And a lot of credit goes to Mumford & Sons themselves and the type of crowd they attract. Their fans were very respectful, very polite and very diligent.

Although he again didn’t have a count, he said there were several reports of car break-ins at WACO Field where the majority of concert-goers left their vehicles for the weekend.

Troy Fire Department Chief Chris Boehringer said things also went well for his department. He said the fire department had a total of 21 different fire departments working with them this weekend to covers Troy’s Station 2 and Station 3 and providing additional EMS services in the city.

Boehringer said besides dehydration and minor injuries throughout the weekend, there were no major injuries reported.

“It actually went very well. We weren’t really, really busy,” he said. “We pulled a few people out (0f the concert), but it wasn’t as bad as what we expected it to be.”

City leaders were pleased with the event, and touted the city and counties first responders for stepping up for the event.

“I thought our police and fire did an outstanding job. They were there when they needed to be, but didn’t make it look like a prison camp,” said Troy Mayor Michael Beamish on Sunday. “I can’t thank them enough for their efforts.”

await approval from the House and Senate before ordering any cruise missile strikes or other action.

On Capitol Hill, senior administration officials briefed lawmakers in private to explain why the U.S. is compelled to act against President Bashar Assad’s government. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough also made calls to individual lawmakers. Further classified meetings were planned over the next three days.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a leading Senate hawk and the candidate Obama defeated for the presidency in 2008, said he’d discuss Syria with the president at the White House Monday.

Obama must convince skeptical Americans and their representatives in Congress of the need for more U.S. military action in the Muslim world after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He also is trying to assemble an international coalition, but finding it hard to land partners. They fear becoming involved in a conflict that has claimed more than 100,000 lives in the past 2½ years and dragged in terrorist groups on both sides of the battlefield.

Only France is firmly on board among the major military powers. Britain’s Parliament rejected the use of force in a vote last week.

The United Nations on Sunday asked the head of its chemical weapons inspection team to expedite the analysis of tests from samples it collected from Syria last week.

Assad’s government, which has denied allegations of chemical weapons use, reveled in Obama’s decision to defer any immediate action. Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mikdad claimed that the move reflected the lack of evidence of government culpability.

With Navy ships on standby in the eastern Mediterranean sea ready to launch missiles, Congress began a series

of meetings that will take place over the next several days in preparation for a vote once lawmakers return from summer break, which is scheduled to end Sept. 9.

Dozens of members attended the two-hour classified briefing Sunday in the Capitol, though many emerged saying they needed to see more details of Obama’s plan and more facts about the alleged chemical weapons attack.

Many feared giving Obama overly broad authority for military action.

On selling the strategy to Congress, Rep. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, the senior Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said, “They have a ways to go.”

“They also have work to do with respect to shoring up the facts of what happened,” Thompson said.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans a meeting Tuesday, according to its chairman, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. The Senate Armed Service Committee will gather a day later, said Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the top Republican on the panel.

Kerry confidently predicted that lawmakers would back limited military strikes.

“The stakes are just really too high here,” he said.

Kerry was asked repeatedly in the broadcast interviews what Obama would do if Congress didn’t give its consent. He said he believed lawmakers would recognize the grave implications for letting a chemical weapons attack go unchecked and what that might mean for U.S. efforts to force North Korea to get rid of its nuclear weapons and prevent Iran from acquiring such capability.

“We are not going to lose this vote,” Kerry said. “The credibility of the United States is on the line.”

Obama is likely to find stronger support in the Democrat-controlled Senate than the GOP-dominated House, yet

a great show.”

Troy Mayor Michael Beamish said the event — and how smoothly it ran — was an example of Midwest hospitality and small-town friendliness at its best.

“I think this weekend showed the power of what we can do in a community that is so welcoming and so friendly — and believes in the power of the motto, ‘Where civic pride is city-wide,’” Beamish said. “People came together to make this a memorable event. This was the people from Troy Main Street, the city, the schools, The Troy Foundation and other organizations working together with Jam Prodcutions to make this a successful event.”

Beamish said he met and talked with hundreds of people from across the country and around the world over the weekend and said everyone he came into contact with was impressed by the people of Troy.

“I talked to people from Finland, Austrailia, California — you name it, and they all said the people were so friendly,” Beamish said. “It made me proud to be a part of this community.

More than the event itself, I think people left our community with a positive outlook on Troy. That can only help us in the future with our economic efforts.

People around the country are going to know Troy is a welcoming place with good folks. That is a very good thing for our city.”

faces complicated battles in each. Some anti-war Democrats and many tea partybacked Republicans are opposed to any intervention at all, while hawks in both parties, such as McCain, feel the president must do far more to help Syria’s rebels oust Assad from power.

“It can’t just be, in my view, pinprick cruise missiles,” McCain told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

In an interview with an Israeli television network, McCain said Obama has “encouraged our enemies” by effectively punting his decision to Congress. He and fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have threatened to vote against Obama’s authorization if it is too limited.

On the other end of the spectrum, an unusual coalition of foreign policy isolationists, fiscal conservatives and antiinterventionists in both parties opposes even limited action for fear that might draw the United States into another costly and even bloody confrontation.

The White House request to Congress late Saturday speaks only of force to “deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade” the Assad regime’s ability to use chemical weapons.

“I think it’s a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. Echoing that sentiment, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., questioned, “Does a U.S. attack make the situation better for the Syrian people or worse?”

Paul expected the Senate to “rubberstamp” Obama’s plan, while he said it was “at least 50/50 whether the House will vote down involvement in the Syrian war.” Inhofe predicted defeat for the president.

Despite the intense gridlock in Congress over debt reduction, health care, immigration and other issues, some lawmakers were more optimistic about the chances of consensus when it came to a question of national security.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who criticized Obama for not proceeding immediately against Assad, said he’d vote “yes” and believed the president should be able to build a House majority over the next several days.

“At the end of the day, Congress will rise to the occasion,” added Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. “This isn’t about Barack Obama versus the Congress.

This isn’t about Republicans versus Democrats. This has a very important worldwide reach.”

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Congress and the American people would support action once Obama finishes making his case. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said if Obama doesn’t do that, he won’t get his authorization.

“He’s got to come out and really be in-depth with respect to the intelligence that we know is out there,” said Chambliss, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. “He’s got to be in-depth with respect to what type of military action is going to be taken and what is our current strategy.”

At the Capitol, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said Obama’s proposed resolution needed tightening. “I don’t think Congress is going to accept it as it is,” he said.

In his TV interviews, Kerry reiterated Obama’s oft-repeated promise not to send any American troops into Syrian territory.

Polls show significant opposition among Americans to involvement, and several lawmakers have cited the faulty intelligence about weapons of mass destruction that led up to President George W. Bush’s 2003 Iraq invasion as justification of the need for lengthy debate before U.S. military action.

Kerry, who voted to authorize Bush’s 2003 Iraq invasion but then opposed it in his unsuccessful presidential bid a year later, rejected any comparisons to America’s recent wars.

Economics n Continued from page 1 food restaurants around Detroit — a Burger King, a Long John Silver’s and a Checkers — because he’s never sure how many hours he’ll get at any one job.

The same is true for Robert Wilson, a 25-year-old McDonald’s employee in Chicago. “It was never a consistent check,” said Wilson, who lives with his mother and brother who also work at the restaurant.

Wilson says he was given one 10-cent raise in the past four years. That brings his pay up to $8.60 an hour after seven years working at the restaurant.

Low wages and a lack of benefits for workers aren’t anything new in the fast-food industry, of course. It’s why “McJob” has been a pejorative term for so long.

What’s changing now is that such jobs are playing a bigger role in the U.S. economy, bringing the fast-food protests closer to home for many.

Nearly 70 percent of the jobs gained since the recession ended have been in low-paying industries such as fast-food or retail. That’s even though half of the jobs lost during the Great Recession were in industries that pay between $38,000 and $68,000 a year.

Currently, the median annual wage for all U.S. full-time wage and salary workers is about $40,350, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s based on weekly earnings of $776.

The tilt toward low-wage jobs is what makes it so critical for fast-food and retail jobs to provide better pay, says Robert Reich, an advocate for workers who served as Labor Secretary in the Clinton administration. “It’s impossible for the economy to run on all four cylinders unless consumers have enough purchasing power to keep the economy going,” he said.

Still, raising wages for fast-food jobs means figuring out where the money would come from.

THE FRANCHISEES More than 90 percent of McDonald’s and Burger King locations in the U.S. are owned by franchisees who say they have to worry about making rent, buying supplies, paying workers and shelling out royalties and fees to their parent company for use of their name and brand. Franchisees say they have to do this while try-

ing to eke out a profit on the super-cheap menu items that customers have come to expect.

Franchisees say their profit margins are thin — they make 4 cents to 6 cents on average for every dollar they take in — and that they can’t afford to hike pay, particularly at a time when companies are trumpeting value menus amid heightened competition.

Kathryn Slater-Carter, who owns two McDonald’s in California, said that what franchisees can pay workers depends “on what money you’ve got left after all (the company’s) interference.”

Slater-Carter said that in addition to emphasizing low prices, the company has been putting more costs onto franchisees for things such as software licenses and service contracts for restaurant equipment.

Prices for food ingredients are volatile and insurance and other costs are rising, too, meaning labor is one of the few costs franchisees can control. It’s why franchisees often keep hourly wages as low as possible or try to avoid paying overtime, some franchisees and union organizers say.

Not that some franchisees don’t pay workers more.

Aslam Khan, chief executive of Falcon Holdings, which owns 165 Church’s Chicken and 44 Long John Silver’s locations, says his employees start at between $8 and $8.50 an hour. To keep the best, experienced workers, he pays $10 to $13 per hour.

He recognizes that’s still not much. “These days the whole family has to work to support the family.

In order to put bread on the table, you have to do whatever,” he said.

Over the past three years, Khan said that his profit margins have declined from 5 percent to 1 percent as food and other costs have climbed and menu prices remained flat.

THE COMPANIES Many labor groups point to the profits of the fastfood companies — and the pay packages of their CEOs — when trying to assign blame for low wages for workers.

Last year, the five big publicly traded fast-food com-

panies together earned 16 cents in profit for every dollar of revenue. That’s 73 percent better than the average big U.S. company, according to FactSet research firm. And that compares with earnings of 4 cents for every dollar of revenue made by discount retailers Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Target, which also have come under fire for not paying workers enough.

McDonald’s, the world’s biggest burger chain, for example, reported a profit of $5.5 billion last year on $27.6 billion in sales. CEO Don Thompson got a pay package worth $13.8 million.

Still, publicly traded companies are under pressure from shareholders and creditors to maintain or improve profits; even a slight change from quarter to quarter can send stock prices moving in either direction.

In emailed statements, McDonald’s and Burger King both said they don’t determine wages for workers, noting that the vast majority of restaurants are run by franchisees. McDonald’s also noted that it is “in the business of providing affordable, high quality food.”

The company said that raising entry-level wages would mean higher overall costs, which could result in higher prices on menus.

“That would potentially have a negative impact on employment and business growth in our restaurants, as well as on value for our customers,” the company said.

Representatives for Wendy’s and Yum Brands Inc. (NYSE:YUM) , which owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Labor organizers dismiss the idea that companies can’t influence worker pay. They say companies have near total control of every other aspect of operations through their strict franchise agreements, down to which napkins, ketchup and computer systems are used, as well as the prices that are charged for food.

“Corporations try to insulate themselves legally and morally by dictating everything but working conditions,” says Stephen Lerner, a longtime union organizer.

screenings have been completed, each child receives a letter to take home with the results from the screening. The information collected helps ODH track the successes of its programs across the state and draw down additional funding to provide dental services to students – particularly those who don’t have regular access to dental care. The surveys also help ODH identify parts of Ohio where dental disease is not improving and where families have trouble finding care.

Data from another survey (Ohio Medicaid Assessment Survey, 2012) indicates that dental disease remains the number one unmet health need of Ohio’s children and point to the grim reality that 17 percent of children in Ohio don’t have dental insurance. The most recent Make Your Smile Count! Survey demonstrated that 51 percent have experienced tooth decay by the time they reach the third grade.

Untreated oral problems affect our ability to communicate, to work, to learn, to eat and our appearance. Poor oral health can have unintended consequences that reach far beyond the mouth.

Nationwide, more than 51 million school hours are lost each

year due to oral health problems, and untreated cavities and toothaches put children at a serious disadvantage at school. The pain caused by dental caries can lead to a lack of concentration and even misbehaviors. Children who leave school to visit the dentist lose precious instruction time, particularly in earlier grades, that puts them further behind in their academics and can result in lower test scores.

In order for a child to participate in the “Make Your Smile Count!” statewide survey, a consent form must be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to school. We encourage all parents and children to understand the importance of taking part in the survey. ODH is committed to collecting only the most accurate data; the information helps monitor the ongoing status of children’s oral health in Ohio so that efforts to provide needed dental care can be continued.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Journal Tribune of Biddeford (Maine) New Jersey’s Republican Gov. Chris Christie took an important step last week toward changing the country’s view of gay and lesbian people.

Christie signed a law barring licensed therapists from trying to turn gay teenagers straight early — making New Jersey only the second state in the country to do so. California has also banned this so-called “conversion therapy.”

A lot of attention was brought to the issue during the lead-up to the 2012 presidential primaries, when former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was questioned over whether her husband’s Christian counseling business provided services that attempted to change gays and lesbians. Bachmann’s husband, Marcus, denied involvement in the therapy, and the congresswoman dropped out of the race in January 2012.

We’re pleased to see the continually changing attitude toward gays and lesbians in this country — most recently with gay marriage becoming legal in several more states and the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn part of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act in June.

However, a lot of young people are still struggling with their sexuality, and trying to “change” them from being gay sends the wrong message and could be harmful to them. We need to support teenagers who have identified their sexual preference, not try to deter them through outdated methods that tell them being gay is wrong.

Gay rights groups back up this assertion, citing that conversion therapy can be damaging to young people, because it tells them that it’s not acceptable to be who they are. In an Associated Press article about the New Jersey law, Troy Stevenson, executive director of Garden State Equality, the state’s largest gay rights group, said, “… The best way to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender youth are protected from the abuse of being ostracized is to provide them with equality.”

But while Christie and others may believe people are born gay and homosexuality is not a sin, they have not supported full, equal rights for gay people in this country.

Christie vetoed a law granting gay marriage in New Jersey and continues to oppose it. Many states have enacted their own versions of the federal Defense of Marriage Act — defining marriage as only between one man and one woman.

So while the country is taking small steps, it’s not enough.

As long as there is discrimination in our laws and tax code, and young people committing suicide because they are told and made to feel that being gay is wrong, there is more work to do.

Laws like the one in New Jersey and California should be adopted nationwide, and efforts need to continue to bring equality to gay and lesbian people of all ages.

The Nashua (N.H.) Telegraph According to President Barack Obama, the theory behind a military response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons against its people is that it would teach Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a lesson.

Said Obama during a Wednesday, Aug. 28 interview with the PBS News Hour: “And if, in fact, we can take limited, tailored approaches, not getting drawn into a long conflict, not a repetition of, you know, Iraq, which I know a lot of people are worried about — but if we are saying in a clear and decisive but very limited way, we send a shot across the bow saying, stop doing this, that can have a positive impact on our national security over the long term, and may have a positive impact on our national security over the long term and may have a positive impact in the sense that chemical weapons are not used again on innocent civilians.”

The notion of targeted missile strikes seems like both too much, yet somehow not enough.

Would limited missile strikes be better than sending in U.S. troops to get bogged down in another country’s civil war? Certainly. In that light, a restrained response is welcome.

But at the same time, lobbing a few missiles into Damascus also seems like the foreign-policy equivalent of the NCAA suspending Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel for a half against a 30-point underdog. It would be taking action strictly for its own sake, compelled by the belief that you have to do something, but knowing it’s not likely to make much difference, It’s the ol’ “better than nothing” approach to foreign policy.

But is it really? What if we use missiles and Assad continues to use chemical weapons against his people, which doesn’t seem particularly far-fetched. He’s used them once already and he’s a man trying desperately to keep his grip on power. And if he uses them again? What then? More missiles?

We agree that the use of chemical weapons is an abomination, but the response being contemplated seems to be that of a nation substituting a military response for the absence of genuine foreign policy.

The Telegraph feels military action in Syria is unacceptable. If the president decides to proceed, how he goes about it seems particularly important, starting with assembling a strong international coalition.

He also should make his case to the full Congress before taking any action.

While the War Powers Resolution only requires him to report after-the-fact, we think he should go to Capitol Hill beforehand. Because as long as he’s in “betterthan-nothing” mode, the president might as well honor its corollary, “It can’t hurt.”

LETTERS Please support oral health for children To the Editor: For more than 20 years, the Ohio Department of Health has conducted periodic statewide oral health surveys to track the status of children’s oral health in Ohio, and to determine how we can best respond to this issue.

Beginning with the 2013-2014 school year and ending with the 2014-2015 school year, third grade students – with parental consent – in select schools from each of Ohio’s 88 counties will have the opportunity to add their voice to the “Make Your Smile Count!” statewide survey. ODH, in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Education, will survey 222 schools in roughly half of Ohio’s counties in the 20132014 school year, with the second half of counties surveyed during the 2014-2015 school year. Seven counties will be surveyed during both school years. To find out when your county is participating and for more information, please visit www.odh.ohio.gov.

During the survey, students will be screened for cavities, fillings, dental sealants and the need for dental care. Once the

A whole new meaning to going out for a bite Add this to the list of things you never thought you’d have to worry about but maybe you should.

Shunted aside to the journalistic sidelines because of other, more pressing, news was the story about a young girl who was attacked by a bear. “Bear attack?” you might reasonably respond.

“Here in the Midwest, we occasionally have to worry about West Nile virus, killer tornadoes, and the deviation Mumford and Sons will impart upon the moral compass of our community, but bears? Hah! That’s for those folks in the wild woods of Alaska to contend with.”

Think again.

This bear attack occurred in Cadillac, Mich.

Michigan—the home of blueberry patches , bounteous fruit trees, and second-rate football teams.

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen; I know Michigan.

I have played in Michigan. to be attacked by a bear is Michigan was not-too- unlucky enough to encoungood a friend of mine. ter one that hasn’t studied In “A Walk in the its geography.)

killed a human in Vermont or New Hampshire in 200 years? That’s not because the bears have signed a treaty, you know.”

One thing the “experts” agree on (and how, exactly does one become an “expert” on surviving bear attacks? Daily practice?) is that if attacked by a black bear, do not play dead.

This is precisely what the girl in Michigan did.

Out for her morning jog, she was set upon by a bear. Having not read the experts’ books, she tried running away. The bear knocked her down and mauled her “a little bit.”

She got up and ran again, resulting in a second episode of being caught and clawed. Then she decided to pet the bear in an attempt to make it, and I swear I am not making this up, “like” her. The bear evidently loved her because it kept chewing on her. After trying to run away a third

time, she did the official worst possible thing and played dead at which point the bear, who also apparently did not consult the books, wandered off.

Several questions spring to mind: 1. How composed must a twelve year old girl be to attempt to make friends with a bear that is actively chewing on her? 2. How composed must a twelve year old girl be to go limp and play dead while actively being chewed upon? 3. How much is “a little bit” of mauling? 4. Isn’t this the best argument yet for not jogging?

Here is my highest truth about bears, which oddly enough is the same as my highest truth about Miley Cyrus and the purple cows of poetry fame: I never hope to see one.

FAMU band back after suspension

anthem and continued with a halftime show that brought two packed decks of FAMU fans to their feet.

“It’s a new day,” FAMU band announcer Joe Bullard said as the performance began. “Size does not matter. The sound is clear.”

But from afar, Champion’s family viewed the performance as a rushed return for a band they say has yet to transition away from a longstanding hazing culture.

“It’s too soon for the band to be back on the field simply because there is nothing to indicate the safety of student is being considered at all,” Champion’s mother, Pam Champion told The Associated Press in a

phone interview from her home in Decatur, Ga. “I still feel there has been a rush to put the band on the field and that rush … has to do with finance.

They are putting profit before safety.”

In addition to the suspension, Champion’s death led to the departure of the band’s longtime director; the abrupt resignation of the university’s president, James Ammons.

School officials lifted the suspension in June as the latest in several changes FAMU adopted in an effort to end a culture of hazing.

At a news conference last month to formally announce of the band’s return performance, FAMU’s interim President Larry Robinson

reiterated the school’s hazing-prevention measures, including a new student code of conduct, new procedures to report and investigate hazing and an anti-hazing website. Also last month, Sylvester Young, 1969 FAMU graduate, was named the band’s new director.

At Sunday’s game, 1995 FAMU band alumnus Edwin Rock said the band had to pay the price, but that the time was right for a return.

“We pay homage to Robert Champion and him dying, but the other students — the music majors — it’s time for them to be on the field and participate,” Rock said.

Also in attendance Sunday was Tracy

Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin. The 17-year-old was shot and killed in Sanford, Fla., by former neighborhood watch member George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in a polarizing and highly publicized trial in July.

Tracy Martin was an honorary captain for Sunday’s game and led FAMU’s football team onto the field.

“It takes a tragic situation to bring people together,” Martin said later in an interview.

“It’s just a bond that we kind of share. They went through tragic incident, and we went through something tragic.”

As the band returned, cases surrounding the hazing incident continue.

bers were charged with manslaughter and felony hazing in Champion’s death. Seven have accepted pleas that included probation and community service-related sentences.

Another has pleaded but hasn’t been sentenced, and the rest await trial.

Pam Champion said she hopes sentences for the remaining defendants will send a message to stop future incidents.

“What I would say is what I’ve said all along.

There is an opportunity to send a strong message, and it’s the only thing that will be a deterrent,” she said. “So far that message has not been sent to eradicate hazing all together.”

The Champions also have filed wrongful-death lawsuits against FAMU and the company that owns the bus in which the hazing took place.

But on Sunday, the future — not FAMU’s recent past — was the focus for fans.

“We’re Rattlers. We come back strong. We come back striking,” said Shakera Akins, a 2011 FAMU graduate. “We’re already a close-knit family, so it just brings us closer together. We heal quickly. We strike from the top.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Nearly two years after a drum major’s hazing death silenced the music at Florida A&M football games, the famed Marching 100 band returned to the field Sunday with its familiar booms, drum rattles and other tones for the school’s season-opener.

It was the band’s first game appearance since a season-long suspension.

The scrutiny following Robert Champion’s 2011 death thrust the school into the national spotlight and led to the more than a dozen arrests and the resignation of top officials.

As the band marched into the Florida Citrus Bowl, fans stood and cheered, and some had tears in their eyes.

Alumni said they celebrated the reappearance of a school symbol whose absence caused a core of its fan base to stay away on game days.

“They did have to be punished — if you want to say that,” 1985 FAMU graduate Cedric Crawford said. “But it’s great to have them back.

“It’s almost not football season without the band — especially at FAMU,” he said.

Champion died in Orlando in November 2011 after he collapsed from what prosecutors call a savage beating during a hazing ritual. It happened on a bus parked in a hotel parking lot after FAMU’s final football game that season.

At 126 members, the band that returned Sunday was much smaller — there were more than 400 at the time of the suspension. The band’s return began with the pre-game national

Dogs that sniff out low blood sugar gain in popularity For 27 years, Sarah Breidenbach had a foolproof way of knowing when her blood sugar level was dangerously low.

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child, she could spot the early warning signs — feeling shaky and anxious.

Then one night while sleeping her blood sugar level plummeted, causing a violent seizure that sent her to the hospital. Over the next 18 months, paramedics made 178 trips to her home.

That’s when her doctor prescribed an unusual tool to help manage her diabetes: a dog.

Enter Moxie, a 5-yearold service dog who sits at her St. Paul owner’s side around the clock.

The black Labrador can tell when Breidenbach’s blood sugar is too high or too low — just by smelling her breath.

While still rare, diabetes alert dogs are an emerging segment in the larger service dog indus-

try, which for decades has helped people manage blindness, hearing impairment and autism.

Can Do Canines, a training organization in New Hope, Minn., estimates that there are 150 diabetes alert dogs nationwide. Earlier this summer, the group hosted a conference that drew dog trainers from around the world.

“We can’t train as many

dogs as we want or as many as are needed,” said Alan Peters, founder of Can Do Canines.

Using her powerful sniffer, Moxie is able to detect a distinct odor brought on by changes in her owner’s blood sugar. When she smells it, the dog goes into alert mode. She jumps, she whines loudly, she paces and stares directly into Breidenbach’s eyes until

her owner checks her blood sugar.

“It’s crazy what they can do,” Breidenbach said of alert dogs like Moxie An estimated 23.6 million Americans, or 7.8 percent of the population, have diabetes. Of that number, 10 percent have Type 1 diabetes — the most severe kind. Those who have had the disease for decades can develop

— are turning up in vitamins and other supplements nationwide.

A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association in April noted that potent drugs are sometimes purposely added to supplements to increase strength, usually weight loss remedies and sleep aids.

Sibutramine, for example, which is now banned, causes weight loss but also can lead to heart attack or stroke.

Consumers also are put at risk, Fabricant said, by raw products from foreign sources because of pervasive pesticide usage abroad. Most of what he calls “the alphabet vitamins” — A, B, C, D and E — have provenance in China.

The same is true of botanicals, Fabricant said, some of which are found to be tainted with pesticides.

“What we’re finding is that people (manufacturers) are not testing their products,” Fabricant said.

Approximately 6,300 people nationwide complained about adverse reactions to dietary supplements between 2008 and 2012, according to FDA statistics. But the actual number may be more than eight times higher, some experts say, because most people don’t believe health products can make them sick.

The FDA began inspecting how vitamins and other dietary supplements are manufactured only in 2008. And there is little the FDA can do to exercise more power over supplement safety without an act of Congress, Fabricant said.

Who doesn’t want tighter abs, toned arms and a little more lift in their bootie? Barre fitness, a fairly recent addition to the exercise scene, promises to deliver all that and more — without stressing either joints or dance ability. All you need is a desire to change your body and a willingness to work hard to reach your goals.

Barre fitness is not a dance class. It just borrows the ballet barre, anchored to the wall, so you have something to hold on to while you pull and stretch your muscles in ways you may not have thought possible. The music is modern and energizing. You can wear your usual workout clothes, but close-fitting shorts or yoga pants are recommended.

Leave your shoes and socks in your gym bag. (Note to self: get a pedicure.) Oh, and bring a towel — you will be dripping before long.

The moves combine yoga, Pilates, some dance principles and stretching to tone and reshape muscles. Most movements are small — lift your outstretched arm just an inch or two while holding a 1-pound weight or lift your leg from the hip and make a circle the size of a quarter with your pointed toe. You feel the burn as you circle or pulse for what may seem like an eternity, but is just a minute or so. Some classes also combine slow, focused exercises with dynamic moves and quick transitions to satisfy those craving cardio.

If you stick with it, take at least two classes a week and watch what you eat, you may see a difference after just three weeks.

Julie Martin Fletcher, 39, wanted to get toned, break up with her love handles and do something about her arms.

As a hair stylist, Martin Fletcher has her arms “up in the air all the time” holding a blow dryer and tugging on brushes full of hair. Yet she’s

“hypoglycemia unawareness,” or the inability to tell when their blood sugar is rapidly dropping, doctors say.

There are electronic monitors to help keep tabs on blood sugar levels. But many diabetics with hypoglycemia unawareness report that their monitors can be late in alerting them. The dogs, they say, let them know very early.

Dr. Melena Bellin, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of Minnesota who studies diabetes, said that while the dogs show promise, there is no scientific evidence yet on their effectiveness. She cautioned against owners relying solely on the dogs as their monitoring tool.

“It is not a substitute for checking blood sugar,” said Bellin, who is working with Can Do Canines and diabetics with alert dogs to study the issue. So far, she said, the dogs appear to be alerting their diabetic

owners when their blood sugar was low or dropping fast.

Training a dog to do this kind of work takes time and the right animal.

In training the dogs, Peters explained, instructors teach the animals to recognize a particular scent from the breath of a diabetic with low blood sugar. “We don’t know exactly what that (smell) is,” he said. “There’s a chemical change — and a certain scent happens.”

When diabetics’ blood sugar level drops below 80, they enter the danger zone. Trainers capture that low blood sugarscent in a piece of gauze.

The gauze is then placed in a plastic bag and kept in a freezer. During training sessions, the gauze is presented to the dogs so they can begin to recognize the smell. The average dog’s nose is tens of thousands of times more sensitive to odors than a human’s.

Raising the barre on workouts FDA official: 70 percent of supplement companies violate rules

About 70 percent of the nation’s supplement companies have run afoul of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s manufacturing regulations over the past five years, according to a top agency official.

Recall notices and agency inspection records have shown that consumers are put at risk by poorly measured ingredients, uncleaned manufacturing equipment, pesticides in herbal products, supplements contaminated with illegal prescription medications — even bacteria in pediatric vitamins.

“We’re seeing some real problems out there,” said Dr. Daniel Fabricant, who heads the FDA’s Division of Dietary Supplement Programs.

While most vitamins and supplements are not harmful — and at least one vitamin brand was credited with an 8 percent reduction in cancer among men over 50 — the industry is beset by repeated recalls, manufacturing problems and adverse reactions caused by tainted products, health experts and regulatory officials say. And there is little the FDA can do to improve the situation, Fabricant said, unless Congress legislates more regulatory authority for the agency.

“In the mirror, when the bottom of your arm is swinging back and forth, it’s not very pretty,” she says.

Power walking, running and high-impact aerobics were not an option, as Martin Fletcher has bad knees. At a co-worker’s suggestion, she signed up for 21 days of classes at Barre Fitness Tampa and went to three one-hour classes a week, fitting them in around her work schedule and family duties.

“After the second week of classes, my husband said my butt was perkier. That was all the motivation I needed to keep going,” she said.

Then friends and clients started asking her, “What are you doing? You’re getting smaller.” She credits the consistent workouts, along with

aids, herbal remedies, protein powders and a host of other products that fall under the vast rubric of dietary supplements.

Supplements, a $28 billion industry made up of about 450 U.S. companies, are deemed “food” by law and are not subject to the tough regulatory scrutiny of prescription drugs.

Sixteen nationwide recalls and warnings have been issued in the past month and a half, including vitamins that contained the risky steroids dimethazine, dimethyltestosterone and methasterone.

More than 3,000 products were recalled nationwide last year.

Written product recipes at numerous supplement companies are nonexistent, Fabricant said, and many recipes — known as master manufacturing records — are apparently cobbled together when owners learn that government inspectors are on their way.

Worse, drums in which products are mixed are not always appropriately cleaned, Fabricant added, and in some firms these vessels are damaged from age and/or overuse. Debris left from previous batches sometimes winds up in newly made products, he said.

Too often, dangerous drugs of all kinds — from male sexual enhancement compounds to weight-loss medications

sensible eating and fewer cocktails, for the results.

Since starting, she says, “I watch what I eat and don’t drink as much Captain and Coke.” Even though the scale budged by only a few pounds in those initial 21 days, the compliments and looser clothes were proof that her body was changing in a positive way.

Barre fitness isn’t new — it’s been in this country since the ’70s. But it started taking off nationally in the last decade and within the last few years in the Tampa Bay area.

“It’s absolutely the most amazing workout,” says Maria Gerelus, who was working as a personal trainer when she discovered barre fitness a few years ago. She gave it a try and liked it so much that she became a certified instructor in 2011 and opened two studios in St. Petersburg, Fla., soon after. She says her clientele is mostly women “of all shapes and sizes” from their 20s to their 70s. She also has a few men who take classes.

“Some come with their wives.

Others are used to lifting weights and just want to gain some flexibility,” she said.

Gerelus, 52, likes barre exercise because it’s safe for people at all levels of fitness, including those with bad backs, bad knees, arthritis and poor posture. “We keep our classes small so instructors can check your form and correct mistakes so you don’t get injured,” said Gerelus.

Denise Tini became a certified instructor before opening her own studio, Barre Fitness Tampa, in November. In addition to regular barre classes, she offers what she calls Barre Burn and Barre Boot Camp, faster-moving classes that get the heart rate up.

Sierra wildfire now California’s fourth-largest

AP Photo In this Friday photo provided by the U.S. Forest Service, a member of the Bureau of Land Management Silver State Hotshot crew from Elko, Nevada, stands by a burn operation on the southern flank of the Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park in California.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — The wildfire burning in and around Yosemite National Park has become the fourth-largest conflagration in modern California history, fire officials said Sunday as clouds and higher humidity helped crews further contain the biggest blaze in the United States this year.

The 2-week-old Rim Fire moved up a spot on the state’s list of large wildfires dating back to 1932 when it grew to 348 square miles — an area larger than the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose combined — on Saturday, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said.

Although the fire still is growing, it was 40 percent contained as of Sunday, up from 35 percent a day earlier.

Moister air was expected to slow flames from advancing through brush and trees, giving firefighters room to set backfires, dig containment lines and to strengthen lines around threatened communities, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Pam Baltimore said.

Full containment is not expected until Sept. 20.

The blaze started Aug. 17 in the Stanislaus National Forest and two-

thirds of the land burned since then is located there as well. In Yosemite, 94 square miles have burned. The cause remains under investigation, Baltimore said.

“Either way, if it was lightning or human-caused, they have not released any findings and we are not sure if and when that will be released,” she said.

Meanwhile, the dense smoke that obscured Yosemite’s majestic views for the first time on Saturday and prompted air quality warnings was starting to ease, park spokeswoman Kari Cobb said.

Although park officials advised visitors to avoid heavy exertion, Cobb said she has seen people outside running “and enjoying Yosemite, despite the smoke.”

“The park was actually busier than I thought it would be,” she said.

A 427-square-mile fire in San Diego County that killed 14 people and destroyed more than 2,800 structures a decade ago tops the list of California’s largest wildfires.

The Rim Fire has claimed 111 structures, 11 of them homes, but no lives.

Giuliani is scarce in mayor’s race a deeply unpopular figure in the city.

NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph Giuliani, whose endorsement of Michael Bloomberg after the Sept.

11 attacks is viewed as a key factor in the political novice’s eventual upset victory in the New York City mayor’s race, has been used sparingly on this year’s campaign trail even though he has endorsed a former aide.

That may not be an accident.

Although Giuliani’s popularity was high in New York City for much of his tenure and soared here and beyond as “America’s mayor” for his response to the 2001 attacks, that’s no longer the case. Appearing on the campaign trail could hurt his former deputy mayor and budget director, Joe Lhota, as much as help him, observers say.

“He’s gone so far right, he couldn’t get elected in New York City again,” said Joseph Mercurio, a political consultant not affiliated with any campaign.

In January, Giuliani publicly urged Lhota to run for mayor after he was commended for steering the Metropolitan Transit Authority through Superstorm Sandy. Several members of his City Hall staff helped launch Lhota’s bid, and Giuliani said he would do anything he could to help the campaign.

Giuliani has hosted a few fundraisers, including one last week, and has appeared with Lhota at a handful of campaign events on Staten Island, the city’s most Republican-friendly borough. But he has largely stayed out of the public eye.

Giuliani, now a consultant, is not completely gone. He stars in Lhota’s most recent television ad. In it, he rushes to Lhota’s defense after a blistering attack ad released by rival John Catsimatidis that hit Lhota for raising transit fares and referring to officers of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates much of the city’s transportation infrastructure, as “mall cops.”

“Joe’s opponents’ negative attacks are false, they’re desperate and they’re just plain wrong,” Giuliani says in the ad.

“Joe Lhota is New York, and he’s ready to be our mayor.”

Giuliani’s capacity on the campaign has been “generally informal,” Lhota told The Associated Press in an interview, and he noted that they speak frequently about the campaign.

“He’s very busy with his work, and an enormous amount of his work is outside the U.S.,” Lhota said.

In fact, Giuliani’s spokeswoman said the former mayor was out of the country “this week and next,” meaning Giuliani will not be around for most of the final days before the Sept. 10 primary.

The spokeswoman, Jo Ann Zafonte, said Giuliani was not available to comment because of his travels.

Giuliani left City Hall three months after the terrorist attacks with an approval rating of 79 percent. But many New Yorkers jeered his key role in the 2004 Republican National Convention, which renominated President George W. Bush,

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a creative day full of social possibilities. Accept all invitations to party and enjoy good times with others. Romance can flourish!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You'll enjoy entertaining at home today; however, it's a poor day to shop for items for your home or family (except for food). Relax and enjoy!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an excellent day to be creative with communication skills. It's also a great day to be creative with your hands.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have excellent moneymaking ideas today; however, be careful with financial transactions. This morning is good, but this afternoon is not. Forewarned is forearmed.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel great today! The Moon is in your sign, dancing with fair Venus.

This is a great day to flirt, enjoy sports events and schmooze with others. Accept all invitations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today because you need your privacy.

Perhaps you need time alone to pull your act together or just mellow out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A female friend might offer a sympathetic shoulder or willing ear today.

Or you might be the person that someone else needs to confide in. It never hurts to ask for advice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Personal details about your private life might be made public, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents and VIPs. Remember this, and keep a low profile even though you are popular now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you want to have a little adventure, go someplace you've never been before. Learn something new.

Talk to people from different cultures.

Live it up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Others might be generous to you today. (Keep smiling.) This morning is the time to ask for what you want.

In the afternoon, you can just graciously accept.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will have to compromise in your dealings with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign. Fortunately, it's well-aspected and everyone will be congenial. (One can only hope.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's easy to get along with co-workers today. If you want assistance or favors from others, ask for this in the morning. In the afternoon, everything is loosey-goosey.

YOU BORN TODAY You are not always what you seem. Sometimes you have to play a role in life. One thing is certain, you are multitalented. You also are a visionary with wonderful social skills. Although you are patient, you love action and tend to gravitate toward controversy. Something you've been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish this year to make room for something new.

Descendants of slaves hold out against coal mining DIRGIN, Texas (AP) — Ida Finley smiles wistfully, recalling how she used to cook for an entire East Texas community — nearly all descendants of slaves. The children would grab cornbread, greens and cookies from her kitchen while their parents grew vegetables in a tiny creekside village hidden among pine forests.

“It’s been so long,” she muses, gazing at old photos that dot the walls of her nursing home room some 30 miles from Dirgin.

Now, just weeks from her 102nd birthday, Finley faces the prospect of losing the land worked by her husband and his parents, slaves who toiled for a master.

For three years, Luminant Mining Co. has tried to purchase this 9.1-acre plot, which is currently owned by a bevy of relatives spread across the country. The company owns more than 75 percent of the parcel but can’t mine it because of a complex inheritance arrangement and the refusal of some family members to let go or accept Luminant’s offer.

Luminant says it has negotiated fairly with the owners, offering them more than the land’s appraised value, plus full compensation to Ida Finley and her granddaughter for homes they have on the land, which the company says they do not legally own. For the first time in its history, Luminant has sued some of the heirs, asking a court to equitably divide the land or force a settlement.

And some of the Finleys are gearing up for a fight.

“I don’t want to sell my family’s land. If I were to sell it, they would have to offer me a huge amount of money,” said Kay Moore, a Fairfield, Calif., woman who says Luminant offered her $3,000 for her piece of

property, which the company says is 1/20 of the remainder.

“It belongs to me, and I’m not willing to part with that,” she added, recalling horseback riding trips and meals at Aunt Ida’s.

The company has acknowledged the family’s emotional ties to the land and said in a statement that it “strived for consistency from owner to owner to maintain our credibility. Most people found our offers to be more than fair.”

In many ways, the family’s story is about a way of life that disappeared long ago and a town 150 miles east of Dallas that has vanished into modernity.

Brushing the wispy white hairs from Ida Finley’s forehead is her granddaughter, Jacquelin Finley — a force behind the battle against Luminant and for preserving something from those long-gone days. Still living on the property in a decaying trailer with patched siding, Jacquelin remembers Dirgin before Luminant’s predecessor built the nearby reservoir. This is where Ida Finley, known to her family simply as Big Momma, raised her children and grandchildren and buried her husband.

In the early 1800s, Dirgin, like much of East Texas, consisted of large cotton plantations worked by slaves.

In 1865, when the Civil War ended, Union soldiers entered Texas for the first time. The slaves were freed, and some masters sold or gave them land.

Ida Finley says “Old Man Martin,” the master, gave her husband’s parents more than 100 acres. Luminant says its records show the family bought the land from two Confederate Army veterans. Either way, sometime in the late 1880s, the Finleys came

to own land in Dirgin.

Living alongside them were other former slave families: the Menefees, Humphreys, Petersons, Barrs and Reeses among them.

When those Finleys — Dick and Puss — died, they left no will, and the parcel was evenly divided among their five children, including Ida’s husband, Adolphus.

Ida and Adolphus lived in a small white house with a front porch and a backyard dotted with fruit trees and a basketball hoop. After the crops were harvested, the children played baseball in the cleared fields.

On Sundays, they went to church — either in a wagon or by foot.

“It was the best of times,” said Jacquelin Finley, who went to live with her grandparents in the early 1960s, when she was a baby.

In the 1970s, life changed.

Just as Jacquelin Finley was bused from Mayflower Elementary to a newly desegregated school in nearby Tatum, Luminant’s predecessor moved into the area. It had its eye on a multimillion dollar prize hidden deep beneath the green grass and pine trees: a low grade of coal known as lignite. To profit from it, the company had to uproot trees and build a power plant.

The company bought land. Ida Finley remembers the pressure applied on her husband, who finally sold 9.5 acres for $1,000 — the equivalent today of just over $4,300.

Feeling duped, he spent his final years sitting on his front porch gazing bitterly at the nearby reservoir that had flooded his land. Barely two years later, he died.

“That bothered him all those years until he died,” Jacquelin Finley said. “That’s my anger.

Do I have a right to be angry? Yes. I want to see them go down.”

Silicon Valley patent office shelved SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Silicon Valley’s high-tech firms are fighting what they consider a deeply personal federal cut this summer that shelves a planned patent office in this innovationfueled region.

While most of the country is feeling some pinch from the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration, tech leaders say this one is unique and unfair, because the Commerce Department’s promised satellite patent offices were never going to be funded by taxpayers. Instead, they’re supported by the $2.8 billion in annual patent fees collected from inventors, entrepreneurs and companies.

“We were really upset,” said Emily Lam, a director at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, an association representing local high tech firms. “It makes absolutely no sense that an office funded almost entirely by fees would be subject to sequester.”

But U.S. Patent and Trademark Office chief financial officer Tony Scardino said the government’s across-the-board austerity policy doesn’t make exceptions for fee-supported programs. And if there’s a “continuing budgetary stalemate” this fall, he said that could cause further delays.

Silicon Valley firms seek more U.S. patents than any other region in the world, and San Jose is the nation’s top patent-producing city, with 7,074 patents last year. And California is the nation’s patent leader, with seven of the top 10 patentproducing cities.

The U.S. Patent Office currently has a backlog of 590,000 nationwide, and

it can take more than two years to have an application reviewed.

Until two years ago, the only U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was in Arlington, Va. Silicon Valley companies often would have to send a chief scientist to Arlington for a few days to meet with examiners, losing valuable time and money.

Then a 2011 law raised patent fees in exchange for promises from officials to use those new revenues to speed up the patent process and establish four satellite offices for the first time in the agency’s 200-plus year history.

But that’s not exactly what happened.

With budget cuts came a federal decision that 8.6 percent of all patent fees are immediately diverted from the Patent Office into the U.S. Treasury; in total, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will lose between $120 million and $130 million in patent fees it collects this year.

There are three satellite office projects underway: the first opened in Detroit in July, 2012, and permanent locations for others were selected in Denver and Dallas before sequestration.

Last month, the General Services Administration — which owns and operates federal properties — said it was suspending its search for permanent patent office space in Silicon Valley, dashing hopes of local startups.

“It was terribly disappointing,” said Dave Clark, who launched a high tech pet products startup called Petzila in San Jose this year with his business partner Simon Milner.

Eight months into the pet-friendly technology

business, they say at least 20 percent of their energy has gone toward getting a patent. That’s time they’d rather spend developing, manufacturing, marketing and financing their first product: a wall mounted system called PetziConnect that allows pet owners to remotely say hello to their dog and, at the click of an icon, give Fido a treat.

“It would be a godsend if we could meet with a patent examiner; It would cut our costs and time in half, and cut our anxiety by 60 percent,” said Clark. “Nothing compares to a face-to-face conversation.”

A local patent office staffed with as many as 150 new examiners would have provided entrepreneurs with nearby staff familiar with high tech, and a streamlined process, business leaders said.

“The more educated about the technology the examiners are, the better job they’re going to be able to do in figuring out what applications are patent worthy and which should be rejected,” said senior patent counsel Suzanne Michel at Google, which has tens of thousands of applications pending.

A local Congressional delegation is now seeking a sequestration exemption for the office.

Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., whose district includes Silicon Valley, said shelving the office “is going to set us back in terms of our own competitive edge, like trying to run a race with your ankles hobbled.”

“It’s too bad,” said Jonah Probell, who writes semiconductor intellectual property patents for a small firm in Sunnyvale, Calif.

More than 40 years after the fact, Gordon Bell would like to confirm the legend surrounding his graduation from Troy High School is not just a piece of lore forever woven into the rich tapestry of Troy High School football and told time and again for four decades, but the God’s- Bell honest truth.

When Bell — a star running back at Troy in the early 1970s — graduated, Chuck Asher, the former coach at rival Piqua High School, offered to present Bell with his diploma at Troy’s com-

mencement ceremonies.

“It’s a true story,” Bell said.

“When I graduated, he was so glad to see me go he offered to come down and give me my diploma. He was happy he wouldn’t have to see me anymore. He was tired of seeing me play against Piqua.”

Hard to blame Asher.

Bell tortured the Indians from three years on varsity, right from the very start.

In the first game of the season in 1969, Troy played its rival in the opening game of the season. The Indians — who featured future NFL players Dave Gallagher and

Rockies down Reds Helton reaches 2,500 hits in 7-4 win

DENVER (AP) — Todd Helton doubled for his 2,500th career hit, Michael Cuddyer homered among his four hits and the Colorado Rockies overcame the loss of starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood to beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-4 on Sunday.

Helton became the 96th player in major league history to reach 2,500 hits. Cuddyer went 4 for 4 with three RBIs. Shin-Soo Choo homered and had three hits for the Reds. Chris Heisey was 4 for 4.

Helton homered twice Friday to move within one hit of the milestone but went 0 for 4 on Saturday.

He flied out, struck out and walked Sunday before facing reliever Curtis Partch in the seventh inning.

second for his 584th career double.

He received a standing ovation from the crowd of 30,594 and tipped his helmet to the cheering fans.

The Rockies had the game in hand before Helton’s big moment after breaking it open in the fifth against Reds starter Mike Leake.

DJ LeMahieu’s two-run double snapped a 2-all tie, Troy Tulowitzki walked and Cuddyer doubled to make it 5-2.

Nolan Arenado, who homered earlier, added a sacrifice fly off reliever Alfredo Simon.

Leake (11-6) allowed six runs on eight hits and struck out four in 4 1-3 innings.

Cuddyer’s 18th home run leading off the seventh gave the Rockies a 7-2 cushion.

Cincinnati scored single runs in the eighth and ninth to get within three before Rex Brothers got the final out.

Chatwood, activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game, left in the third with a bruised

“When you score 40 points and have 460 yards and you’re disappointed, that’s a good sign,” Meyer said. “And the bad sign is we’ve got a long way to go.”

The Buckeyes breezed to a 23-0 lead early then had a couple of touch-and-go moments before picking up their nation’s-best 13th win in a row.

The right-hander allowed a tworun homer to Choo, his 18th, and walked the next two batters before leaving. He was replaced by righty Adam Ottavino, who got out of the inning with some nifty defense.

With runners on first and second and two outs, Heisey reached on an infield single up the middle. Joey Votto tried to score from second but Helton, who took a relay from Tulowitzki, wheeled and threw out Votto standing up.

No. 9 Louisville dominates Ohio 49-7 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater threw five touchdown passes and Michael Dyer had a 46-yard touchdown run as No. 9 Louisville defeated Ohio 49-7 on Sunday.

Coming off an 11-2 finish and a Sugar Bowl upset of Florida, Bridgewater and the Cardinals (1-0) dominated. That pleased a sellout crowd of 55,332 seeing them for the first time since that BCS win set off the school’s remarkable run of success that included an NCAA men’s basketball title, the women’s team’s runner-up NCAA finish and an appearance in College World Series.

Bridgewater kicked off his Heisman Trophy campaign by going 23 of 28 for 355 yards. Damian Copeland and Kai De La Cruz each caught two touchdowns and DeVante Parker and Robert Clark each had one.

Dyer, the former Auburn star, debuted for Louisville and the Cardinals outgained Ohio 615-273.

It was an impressive showing for a Louisville squad out to prove that last year wasn’t a fluke while starting this season with high expectations. The Cardinals began with their highest preseason ranking in school history and are favored to win the new American Athletic Conference that would earn another BCS bowl bid.

Bridgewater has drawn even more attention following a breakout sophomore season with 3,718 yards passing and 27 touchdowns. He certainly met expectations in his season debut, completing his first nine passes for 121 yards before Copeland dropped a catchable ball down the middle.

By then Louisville was up 14-0 after Bridgewater hit Copeland for touchdowns for 34 and 19 yards, helping the senior receiver match his 2012 total. The quarterback had a couple more drops and threw an

interception, but was otherwise locked in and efficient in moving to fifth in program history for yardage and fourth in touchdown passes.

Like last season, Bridgewater involved many targets in the offense and found them wide open much of the day.

Parker was at least 10 yards past a defender when he caught a 27-yard pass for the Cardinals’ third TD in the second quarter. De La Cruz meanwhile had 20 clear yards in front of him after catching a Bridgewater pass for a 40-yard touchdown.

Only Clark faced Ohio coverage before diving for his 25-yard score late in the third quarter.

Backup Will Gardner followed Bridgewater in the fourth but didn’t miss a beat, hitting De La Cruz for 30-yard touchdown for a 49-7 lead.

Louisville had hiccups such as four false starts and a face mask penalty in the first quarter. A pass interference penalty late in the third quarter helped Ohio break the shutout as Ryan Boykin scored from 10 yards.

But those were the only mistakes on a day that the Cardinals cruised.

Ohio’s hopes of following up last year’s season-opening upset of Penn State with another win over a BCS school were thoroughly dashed as the Bobcats found little to nothing against a fierce Cardinals defense.

Senior Beau Blankenship, a 1,600-yard rusher last season, had just 22 yards on 12 carries while senior quarterback Tyler Tettleton completed 11 of 23 pass yards for only 140 yards and was briefly replaced by Derrius Vick in the first half. Ohio had the ball for just 22:44.

Little engines that could Upsets show FCS label can be deceiving By the Associated Press

Labels can be deceiving.

The labels on North Dakota State and Eastern Washington say FCS for Football Championship Subdivision, Division I’s second-tier. The reality is there are 123 programs and the range of quality is as great as the difference between the best teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (aka tier 1) and the worst.

“With all due respect there are plenty of FBS teams that you can’t lump with the Alabamas and the Oregons of the world,” Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin said Sunday.

“The same way you can’t lump all the FCS schools together.”

The FCS has won eight games against FBS opponents during the opening weekend of college football, twice as many as it did during last season’s opening weekend. The most notable victories were by twotime defending FCS champion North Dakota State, which beat Kansas State on Friday night, and perennial FCS playoff team Eastern Washington, which knocked off No. 25 Oregon State on Saturday.

North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl said Sunday that maybe it’s time to “get rid of some lines and start looking at some programs.”

Make no mistake, the majority of FBS-FCS matchups are glorified tuneups. In the 30

AP PHOTO North Dakota State’s quarterback Brock Jensen lets out a scream as his teammates rejoice with him after scoring with 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter, putting the Bison ahead 23-21, during an NCAA college football game in Manhattan, Kan. North Dakota State upset Kansas State 24-21.

K-State 24-21 in Manhattan and it didn’t look fluky.

“After watching the game tape, it’s not like Kansas State was playing terrible,” Bohl said.

“I just think we beat them.”

Eastern Washington, which became the third FCS team to beat a ranked FBS team, was just as a good in its own way.

The Eagles spread the field with dual-threat quarterback Vernon Adams. Oregon State, from the Pac-12, just couldn’t stop EWU in a 49-46 victory.

As with NDSU, EWU was just better than its FBS opponent.

“We certainly were on that day,” Baldwin said. “Maybe only a play or two better.”

There has been much discussion among the leaders of the top conferences in FBS about strengthening schedule.

They want more appealing TV matchups and want an extra emphasis on strength of schedule to determine who plays in the coming College Football Playoff.

The Big Ten has proposed eliminating games against FCS teams altogether.

Bohl is part of the board of trustees for the American Football Coaches Association, headed by Texas’ Mack Brown with representatives from all levels of college football.

He said the 20 member board has voted unanimously to keep playing cross-divisional games.

“Football needs to be more inclusive instead of exclusive,’ said Bohl, a former Nebraska player and assistant coach.

“Saturday was an example of that.”

many yards and scored on four plays of at least 20 yards.

But there were still some troubling aspects to the win.

“It was good we came out fast, but obviously we let them back in the game,” said defensive back Corey Brown.

Meyer was upset by four plays in a span bridging the first and second quarters. He said the Buckeyes should have blocked a punt instead of roughing the kicker. Then they came up short on a fourth-and-1 at midfield. Third, freshman phenom Dontre Wilson fumbled the ball away and Buffalo turned it into a 16-yard touchdown pass from Joe Licata to Matt Weiser.

Seconds later, Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller threw a screen pass directly to Buffalo linebacker Kahlil Mack who returned it 45 yards for a score.

“In a tight game, you’re going to lose that game,” Meyer said.

“So we’ve got to learn to fight through those momentum shifts.”

Neither line played particularly well for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State surrendered four sacks and on defense there wasn’t a lot of pressure applied.

“We’re a little disappointed and we know we have plenty of things to work on,” defensive lineman Michael Bennett said.

“We made a couple of mistakes but it’s the first game of the season. You don’t want mistakes. You want to go out and have everyone execute well.

But at the end of the day, it’s about winning.”

In addition, Armani Reeves was continually picked on at cornerback in his first collegiate start. He’ll likely drop to second team with star corner Bradley Roby returning to from a one-game suspension due to a summer legal problem.

San Diego State, which comes to Columbus for a 3:30 p.m. game on Saturday, couldn’t be consoled by a win.

The Aztecs were bludgeoned at home by Eastern Illinois, 40-19.

They turned the ball over five times — throwing four interceptions — while the defense was gouged for 361 yards passing and 533 total yards.

“That’s as bad a performance as I’ve ever been around,” Aztecs coach Rocky Long said.

“We played poorly and made every mistake in the book.”

And that is no way to go into a game against a road game against a national-title contender.

Long was asked about how devastating the loss was for a team that now has to take on Ohio State. His response was downright acidic.

“You wanted to talk about next weekend all along in fall camp,” he told reporters after the game. “I told you about it.

I told you not to. I told you how good Eastern Illinois was. I told you. I told you a long time ago, but nobody wanted to listen. I mean, one game does not make a season.

“We’ll regroup. Competitors regroup after they’ve been embarrassed and beat up like that. Competitors regroup and they go back to work and they work on the next competition.

Other people quit and say it’s over.”

FBS-FCS matchups this weekend, the average score was FBS 37.7, FCS 18.3.

While McNeese State (53-21 over South Florida), Towson (33-18 over UConn) and Northern Iowa (28-20 over Iowa State) have made headlines, Nicholls (66-3 loss to Oregon), Austin Peay (45-0 loss to Tennessee) and Wofford (69-3 loss to Baylor) provided little resistance.

The favorites from the bigger conferences pay big bucks to bring FCS teams to their stadiums because they don’t

have to worry about making a return trip.

ESPN.com reported the seven FCS teams that have won on the road have made a total of $2,375,000, ranging from $225,000 to $450,000 each.

North Dakota State made $350,000, and Eastern Washington $450,000.

Bell graduated from Troy as one of the most-decorated players in school history. His name still is written all over the school record books. He’s fourth in school history in career rushing yards (3,707), fifth in points scored in a career (340), 11th in points scored in a season (146), and has the sixth-highest single-game rushing total in school history (324 yards in a 54-6 win over Piqua in 1970). He was a twotime first team All-Ohio selection at running back and, in 1971, was runner-up to future two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin for Assciated Press Back of the Year honors.

Perhaps as impressive, Bell helped lead the Trojans to backt0-back 10-0 seasons on teams that were generally regarded as

some of the best in the state in an era that preceded a playoff system.

Following his standout career at Troy, Bell would go on to the University of Michigan. In 1974, Bell rushed for 1,048 yards despite starting just three games.

In 1975, he led the Big 10 in rushing with 1,390 yards — more than Griffin, who won the Heisman at Ohio State that season — was named first team All-Big Ten and was an AP All-American. That year, Bell set single-season school records for all-purpose yards (1,714), most 100-yard rushing games (eight) and most rushing attempts (273).

Following his career at Michigan, Bell played in the NFL for three seasons with the New York Giants and St., Louis Cardinals.

Bell — who now lives in Illinois — said he’s looking forward to returning to his hometown for the hall of fame festivities.

“I’m very excited,” he said. “I’m looking forward to seeing lots Photo Courtesy of the University of Michigan of friends and family.

Craig Clemons — came in heavily favored against the Trojans, who had gone just 2-8 the year before. On the first play from scrimmage, Bell — then an unknown sophomore tailback who had never played a down on varsity — ripped off a 68-yard touchdown run as the Trojans went on to stun the Indians, 22-6.

“Playing against Piqua were probably the moments from high school I’ll remember most,” Bell said. “It was always kind of special. My sophomore year, I scored a touchdown on the first play of the game. My junior year, I scored a touchdown on the second play of the game. My senior year, I scored a touchdown on the first play of the game.”

At least Piqua can take solace in this — it wasn’t alone. During his career at Troy, Bell made nearly every opponent he took on look bad. His stellar career is a big reason why he’ll be inducted as a member of the inaugural class of the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame.

“It’s a great honor to be inducted,” Bell said. “I know (fellow inductee) Tommy Vaughn

Elliott wins Truck race BOWMANVILLE, Ontario (AP) — Chase Elliott wrecked Ty Dillon on the last lap Sunday to win the NASCAR Truck Series race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.

Elliott, the son of former Sprint Cup driver Bill Elliott, plowed into Dillon on the final turn on the 2.459-mile road course to take the lead and went on to his first series victory. At 17 years, 9 months, 4 days, he became the youngest winner in series history.

"We only have so many shots to win these things. I really hate to win them like that, I really do," Elliott said. "That's not how I race and that's never been how I've raced before.

I had a shot. I was up next to Ty and I knew he was going to try and chop me off. I tried to make up the difference. ... Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do to get to victory lane."

Dillon dropped to 17th, the last car on the lead lap, in the series' first race in Canada and first on a road course since 2000 at Watkins Glen.

"You've got to show respect," Dillon said. "I hope he runs Iowa (next week). He won't finish the race."

Elliott, driving for Hendrick Motorsports in only his sixth series start, further explained the wreck.

"Had two ideas that didn't work out for me and had an opportunity there getting into 10," Elliott said. "I felt like the 3 (Dillon) was sputtering. I felt like he was really, really close or he was out of gas or something and got to his right rear quarterpanel and tried to move him out of the way and unfortunately ended up putting him in the fence. ...

"He obviously wasn't happy. He has a right not to be happy. I wouldn't have been happy, either, but at the same time, like we all three said, you've got to do what you've got to do."

Chad Hackenbracht was second, followed by Miguel Paludo, Darrell Wallace Jr., Ron Hornaday Jr., Max Papis, Ross Chastain, Timothy Peters, James Buescher and Matt Crafton.

Crafton leads the series standings, 47 points ahead of Buescher. Dillon is third, 63 points behind Crafton.

• Editors Note: The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway was in progress at press time.

Clint Bowyer held the lead on lap 151 of 325.

Garcia retains lead at Deutsche NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Sergio Garcia was doing everything right. He had the lead going into the third round. He kept bogeys off his card and made two birdies on the front nine.

And he was losing ground Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Garcia regained control on the back nine of the rain-softened TPC Boston, making five birdies for a 6under 65 that gave him a two-shot lead over Henrik Stenson. Garcia hit 4-iron from 218 yards onto the 18th green for a two-putt birdie as darkness settled over New England on this longest of days.

But nothing is close to being settled at this FedEx Cup playoff event.

Not with such a soft course, with preferred lies, with mint conditions on the putting surfaces and the world's best players — most of them, anyway — in top form. There were 332 birdies and 10 eagles in the third round, translating to sub-par holes 32 percent of the time.
