Health care law survives Roberts casts deciding vote

Curry says goodbye to NBC For a morning show used to celebrating family and a connection with its audience, the “Today” show’s farewell to cohost Ann Curry on Thursday was brief, tearful and sad.

It was tinged with the sense of failure, something NBC’s dominant morning show hasn’t experienced in a long time.

Curry, who was co-host with Matt Lauer for a year after several years as the news anchor, fought back tears on the air, saying “this is not as I expected to ever leave this couch.”

Her departure ended a week’s worth of awkward television. She came to work after word got out that NBC was looking to oust her, with neither she nor the network commenting on the stories until Thursday. “I’m sorry I couldn’t carry the ball over the finish line but, man, I did try,” she said.

WASHINGTON (AP) Obamacare lives.

America’s historic health care overhaul, derided by Republicans as intrusive, costly “Obamacare,” narrowly survived an election-year battle at the Supreme Court Thursday with the improbable help of conservative Chief Justice John Roberts.

The 5-4 ruling now makes it certain that major health care changes will move touching virtually every ahead, American’s life. And Democrats, who have AP learned to accept if not love the GOP label Pedestrians in downtown Chicago watch President for the law, heartily praised the decision.

But the ruling also gave Republicans Barack Obama speak on a giant monitor Thursday, after the Supreme Court’s decision upholdijng the vast unexpected ammunition to energize supporters for the fall campaign against majority of his health care overhaul.

President Barack Obama, the bill’s champion and for next year’s vigorous efforts to repeal the law as a new federal tax Roberts’ vote, along with those of the court’s four liberal justices, preserved the largest expansion of the nation’s social safety net in more than 45 years, including the hotly debated core requirement that nearly everyone have health insurance or pay a penalty. The aim is to extend coverage to more than 30 million people who now are uninsured The decision meant the huge overhaul, still taking effect, could proceed and pick

West Troy Tool and Machine, Inc. received a big boost today as the Development Financing Advisory Council (DFAC) approved $2.35 million to assist with the company’s plans for expansion.

The loan, made available through the Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund (OEBF), will allow for the Troy-based facility to purchase new production equipment and add 35 new jobs.

State Senator Bill Beagle (R- Tipp City) praised the announcement as another economic development win for the region.

“The manufacturing industry is definitely making a comeback across the Miami Valley,” Beagle said.

“By partnering with West Troy Tool and Machine’s plans for expansion, the state is once again reaffirming its commitment to getting Ohioans back to work.”

In addition to the OEBF loan, the company has already committed a private investment of $500,000 to the project.

The funds are contingent upon final approval from the State Controlling Board.

West Troy Tool and Machine, Inc. is a filtration manufacturer of tooling, components and mechanical assemblies.

Wildfire

Health care • CONTINUED FROM 1 up momentum over the next several years, with an impact on the way that countless Americans receive and pay for their personal medical care.

The ruling handed Obama a campaignseason victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in approving the plan. However, Republicans quickly indicated they would try to use the decision against him.

At the White House, Obama declared, “Whatever the politics, today’s decision was a victory for people all over this country.” Blocks away, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney renewed his criticism of the overhaul, calling it “bad law” and promising to work to repeal it if elected in November.

ROBERTS Demonstrators for and against the law crowded the grounds outside the Supreme Court Building on Capitol Hill as Roberts, sitting at the center of the nine black-robed justices inside, announced the decision to a packed courtroom.

Breaking with the other conservative justices, Roberts wrote the judgment that allows the law to go forward. He explained at length the court’s view of the insurance mandate as a valid exercise of Congress’ authority to “lay and collect taxes.” The administration estimates that roughly 4 million people will pay the penalty rather than buy insurance.

Roberts, appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, opposed by young Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and much-criticized by Democrats in recent years, sided with his court’s liberals on a major case for the second time this week as the justices concluded their 2011-12 term.

On Monday, he had voted to invalidate parts of Arizona’s tough crackdown on illegal immigrants.

In the health care case, Congress had referred to a penalty, not a tax, on people who don’t obtain insurance. But Roberts said the court would not get hung up on labels. Among other indications it is a tax, Roberts said, “the payment is collected solely by the IRS through the normal means of taxation.”

“Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,” Roberts said.

Many Republicans oppose the law, arguing that it marks a government takeover of health care at the same time it curtails Medicare spending and raises taxes. They also point to studies that predict private employers will be forced to reduce or eliminate coverage and that the legislation will

wind up costing far more than estimated, raising federal deficits as a result.

Stocks of hospital companies rose and some insurance companies fell after the ruling.

The decision should help hospitals by adding millions of people to the rolls of the insured, expanding the pool of health care consumers. But by the same reasoning, insurance companies will also gain millions of premium-paying customers.

The court found problems with the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but even there it said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold states’ entire Medicaid allotment if they don’t take part.

Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined Roberts in the outcome.

Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Kennedy summarized the dissent in the courtroom. “In our view, the act before us is invalid in its entirety,” he said.

The dissenters said in a joint statement that the law “exceeds federal power both in mandating the purchase of health insurance and in denying non-consenting states all Medicaid funding.”

The justices rejected two of the administration’s three arguments in support of the insurance requirement. Roberts agreed with his conservative colleagues that Congress lacks the power under the Constitution’s commerce clause to put the mandate in place.

“The federal government does not have the power to order people to buy health insurance,” he said in a part of his opinion that the liberal justices did not join. But his crucial bottom line was: “The federal government does have the power to impose a tax on those without health insurance.”

In all, the justices spelled out their views in six opinions totaling 187 pages.

Roberts, Kennedy and Ginsburg spent 51 minutes summarizing their views in the courtroom.

The legislation passed Congress in early 2010 after a monumental struggle in which all Republicans voted against it. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Thursday the House will vote July 11 on whether to repeal the law, though such efforts have virtually no chance in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the health care law makes it harder for small businesses to hire workers.

“Today’s ruling underscores the urgency of repealing this harmful law in its entirety,” he said.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 intense. More than 30,000 people frantically packed up belongings Tuesday night as the flames swept through their neighborhoods.

Community officials were planning to begin the process of notifying residents Thursday that their homes were destroyed.

They planned to schedule meetings for residents of different streets to advise them personally that their homes have been destroyed. Officials had not released such lists as of Thursday afternoon.

But for many residents, the official notification is a formality. Residents recognize their street on aerial pictures taken of the devastation and carefully scrutinize the images to determine the damage.

Aerial photos and video from The Associated Press and the Denver Post showed widespread damage, and Mayor Steve Bach said a more accurate assessment might be available later Thursday.

Colorado Springs, about 60 miles south of Denver, is also home to the U.S. Olympic Training Center, NORAD and the Air Force Space command, which operates military satellites.

They were not threatened.

Conditions were still too dicey to allow authorities to begin trying to figure out what sparked the blaze that has raged for much of the week and already burned more than 29 square miles.

President Barack Obama was to tour firestricken areas on Friday as hundreds of locals and some tourists who were staying at Red Cross shelters hoped life would return to normal soon.

Many more stayed with friends and family.

The evacuated area is a mix of apartment complexes, single-family homes, hotels and developments

such as technology parks, said Joe Raso, president of the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce.

Bret Waters, the city’s emergency management director, said officials know people displaced by the blazes face hardships but urged patience.

“Being evacuated on the long-term is difficult. So as you prepare to evacuate, you need to think about, not just a day or two, but think a week or two weeks.

What would you do out of your home for two weeks?” he said.

The weather forecast offered some optimism for firefighters to make progress, with the temperature expected to reach into the mid-80s — about 5 degrees cooler than Wednesday — and humidity 15 to 20 percent, about 5 points higher. Winds were forecast to be 10 to 15 mph.

As of mid-day Thursday, the fire was only 5 percent contained. The cost of fighting the blaze had already reached $3.2 million.

The fire blackened up to 50 acres along the southwest boundary of the Air Force Academy campus, said Anne Rys-Sikora, a spokeswoman for the firefighters. No injuries or damage to structures — including the iconic Cadet Chapel — were reported.

Fort Carson, an Army infantry post about 15 miles from the academy, sent 120 soldiers along with bulldozers and other heavy equipment to help clear a line to stop the fire on the academy. Rys-Sikora said the academy was not getting a disproportionate share of equipment and firefighters.

The Flying W Ranch, a popular tourist attraction near Colorado Springs, was severely damaged in the blaze. But authorities let people into the area to check on cattle. John Hendrix, who volunteers at the Flying W, said 47 animals were accounted for.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky., on jobs for youth: It’s summertime, but the living ain’t easy — especially for teenagers on the job hunt. Fewer than three in 10 American teens now spend June through August working the jobs that have traditionally belonged to the youth, such as busing tables or working cash registers.

Employment rates for 16- to 19-year-olds are at the lowest level since World War II, The Associated Press reported recently.

We already knew that we live in a country where application pools for entry-level jobs are teeming with the overqualified; where job fairs touting underpaid positions draw in crowds by the hundreds. But now, it is also one where a 16-year-old can no longer expect to bag groceries all summer, watching those precious minimum-wage paychecks add up in their college fund.

These lower-skill jobs once filled by high school students now go to college graduates, immigrants and the recently laid-off, struggling to pay off loans and support families in a weak economy.

King, who died Sunday at age 47, forever will be remembered as the man whose brutal beating at the hands of four Los Angeles police officers shredded anyone’s illusion about this nation’s state of race relations. The grainy videotape was a “gotcha” moment for African Americans and other minorities whose complaints of the routine indignities they experience from law enforcement tended to fall on deaf ears from a society in denial.

The rage on Los Angeles’ streets that followed the acquittal of the officers the following year — by a Simi Valley jury that included no African Americans — stunned many Americans who were oblivious to the tensions of race and class that existed outside their comfortable communities. More than 50 people were killed and 600 buildings destroyed in the six days of riots — which some people to this day insist should be called “the insurrection.”

It was left to King, showing signs of speech impairment from the beating, to offer the defining appeal for calm as the city burned: “Can we all get along?”

The verdicts and riots led to searing national introspection about race relations, about police procedures and the pain and perils of income inequality. In the ensuing years, King never quite found peace or vanquished the demons that brought him to a moment that jarred and divided us in those difficult days of 1992.

Neither has this nation.

DOONESBURY FLASHBACK

I’m not ‘pulling’ your leg, I’m having a great summer Folks, it’s been a weird and wild summer so far for this small town reporter. Despite living three decades in our lovely county and beyond, I still manage to find new and exciting adventures.

My summer adventures kicked off last month with my first-ever truck pull at the Champaign County Fairgrounds over yonder in Urbana.

Some of you may be thinking, “She’s a country girl who has never been to a truck or tractor pull? Imposter!”

Well, at least I was thinking that same thing. I have never known anybody my age that went to those sorts of events.

Leave it to my Champaign County friend Triplet, who invited me to tag along to watch her friends compete in the truck pulls. And like the good sport I am, I’ll try anything once. Heck, I’d go to the opera if I didn’t have to pay for the ticket. I’d go see grass grow as long as I could wager a bet on it. So a truck pull jamboree at a fairgrounds wasn’t that hard of a gig to pass up. I was game.

It also helps that I absolutely

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist have no life. But I have cowboy boots. And any occasion that calls for cowboy boots is gravy in my boat. It was a no brainer.

So Triplet found us a spot on the tailgate and I was ready to see a truck pulling, smoke and dust flying good time.

Triplet had to explain the process of how a truck hooks up to a “sled” loaded down with weights. Diesel engine lovers (and ‘gasers, too) “let her eat” and with one mash of the pedal, trucks dig their tires in deep and go for the long haul — except, the long haul really is only a few hundred yards. That’s it. And then, it’s over. Done.

Waiting six hours for 15 seconds is a lot of down time. I guess that’s where my company

— Becky Riley Troy

comes in with my commentary throughout the evening. Did you know that sleeves are optional, flannel is a universal fabric and I’m getting so old that the length of shorts now is comparable to swim wear?

The pockets are supposed to stick out? No way.

After taking note of truck pull fashion, I noticed another quirk: there are truck pull groupies.

People really get into this sort of stuff. Heck, they even have Tshirts for your favorite truck driver. Sleeves are, once again, optional. I guess there are “groupies” for any type of sport.

In college, my sister and I would travel to all of her nowhusband’s basketball games to support our favorite players and our college team. And, like any other sport, there were “groupies” that followed MAC basketball league.

When I tagged along with Triplet to yet, another truck pull the best “groupie” watching was the time we went to the exotic town of London. There were bigger trucks and, folks, let me tell you, people throw some serious cash in to their truck haulers. I

was able to tour one with a camper with wood floors. Wood.

Floors. In a camper. Wow. Which I guess I can understand since it’s about eight hours of down time and you might as well enjoy a good movie or two waiting on your turn.

Yet, during that downtime, I studied the crowds that gathered to watch the “big-time” pullers.

Now, I love a handsome painted, “souped” up truck. And some of these fans get really dolled up for this type of entertainment.

Folks, I made small talk with a girl that had extensions in her hair and her nails done with her favorite truck puller’s colors. No joke.

While Triplet’s friends all fared well, from what I could tell, I scored both a free truck-pull sweatshirt and some adult time with my best friend. And I managed to realize that there’s a following for almost anything.

I also realized one more thing: I need to cut my sleeves off and get out more.

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. She’s much too young to feel this darn old.

Curry fights tears

AUGUSTA COLLETT

Says goodbye to ‘Today’ AP PHOTO

This June 27, photo released by NBC shows co-hosts Al Roker, left, and Ann Curry, with actors Joe Manganiello, second left, and Channing Tatum, right, on the "Today" show in New York. this spring. Starting in December 1995, NBC had won every week in the morning show ratings — 852 consecutive weeks — until being topped by “Good Morning America.” The two shows have since traded victories, with ABC winning a total of four weeks.

NBC’s long decline in prime-time has likely affected the “Today” show, giving it less visibility among viewers.

The network’s executives say that “Good Morning America” does particularly well when it features members of the “Dancing With the Stars” cast from ABC’s primetime lineup.

But it’s clear that ABC’s morning show has been on the upswing and has a team of obvious chemistry, while “Today” has been on its heels. Ross said the show needs to be “fresher and scrappier.”

“The ‘Today’ show is now stagnating from what I would call the arrogance of being No. 1,” she said.

“That will happen to anybody. You stagnate because you’re No. 1 and think you don’t need to change.”

It’s hard to overstate the importance of the “Today” show to NBC, particularly with so many other things at the network going wrong. Last year “Today” earned an estimated $484 million in revenue, more

than “GMA” ($298 million) and CBS’ morning show ($156 million) combined, according to Kantar Media.

Losing the top spot in the ratings means a lot more than bragging rights.

“It’s a tough business and there’s a huge amount of money involved here,” said Bill Wheatley, a former NBC News executive who now teaches at Columbia University.

Television is no different than sports or the business world in the likelihood that someone will take a fall when things go wrong.

Curry’s co-host, Matt Lauer, is generally considered the top anchor in morning television now, and maybe of all time, and he recently signed a new contract. He’s not going anywhere. The “Today” executive producer, Jim Bell, is regarded highly at NBC and was given the additional assignment of producing the network’s Olympic coverage from London.

Enter Curry Curry is respected as a reporter at NBC News, and is staying at the network to continue in a reporting role. Yet when Katie Couric left “Today” to go to CBS, Curry was passed over for the top job for Meredith Vieira.

Vieira had unassailable credentials as a former “60 Minutes” reporter at CBS

News and the dominant personality on the talk show “The View.” There was no one in the wings with such strength when Vieira left, and there was a general sense at NBC that Curry deserved the chance to be co-host and viewers would resent it if she didn’t get one.

Yet she never seemed to achieve a solid comfort level. One former morning show producer said the chemistry involved in such programs is like seeing people who dance well together — they anticipate moves, know preferences and instinctively follow each other’s cues. That was a strength for “Today” for many years, and it didn’t seem to work with Curry in her new role.

She was luckless, too, as when she was hit in the head by a camera on Tuesday’s show.

She’s a smart, earnest woman who appears offscreen exactly as she is on the air. She’ll give an intense stare and expression of concern, maybe touch an arm for emphasis.

She cares deeply. “You have the biggest heart in the business,” Lauer said on Thursday. “You put it on display every single day in this studio.”

Somehow, though, it came off on television as more odd than heartwarming.

Morsi’s wife: Don’t call me first lady CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s new first lady Naglaa Ali Mahmoud and her predecessor Suzanne Mubarak have at least one thing in common: Both have seen their husbands and sons detained in Egyptian prisons.

The similarities appear to end there.

The deposed President Hosni Mubarak’s wife was an elegant, sophisticated university graduate with a British mother. She was criticized for being elitist, vain, self-important, overbearing and oblivious to the plight of ordinary Egyptians.

By contrast, Islamist President-elect Mohammed Morsi’s wife is a conservative, religious Muslim who wears a veil and did not attend college.

Detractors consider her style to be emblematic of Egypt’s steady march toward conservative Islam, while supporters proclaim that her modest demeanor and background embody the democratic spirit of the revolution.

Naglaa Ali Mahmoud has reportedly said she would prefer not to live in the Presidential Palace,

AP PHOTO

In this May 12 file photo, the wife of then Presidential candidate Mohammed Morsi, Naglaa Ali Mahmoud, attends a rally during his campaign in Cairo, Egypt. and the couple has yet to move in. She also doesn’t want to be called the first lady.

“I want to be called the president’s wife,” she told The Associated Press by telephone.

“Who said that the president’s wife is the first lady anyways?”

Instead, she said she prefers to be called Umm Ahmed, which means mother of Ahmed — her eldest son. It’s a moniker that some secular Egyptian

elites might disdain as patriarchal.

Her defenders note that unlike the two first ladies before her, she has not taken on her husband’s last name in public in a sign of self-assertion that also falls in line with Islamic tradition throughout Egypt.

If she must have a title, she says, she would not mind being called “the first servant” of the people.

Her style so far could not be a more marked

that leaders would agree on €130 billion ($161 billion) in spending geared toward job creation, as well as some new measures that might reassure investors that Spain and Italy will be able to manage their debts.

“I expect that there will be a decision on a further step toward rebuilding the economic and monetary union,” European Commissioner for Economic Affairs Olli Rehn said shortly before the summit began.

“We also need concrete deci-

sions on a short-term stabilization of financial markets, especially sovereign debt markets.”

The EU leaders will issue a statement Thursday before holding a dinner and more talks, which are expected to last well into the night. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has rejected the most obvious way of reducing borrowing costs for the southern European countries: by quickly issuing “eurobonds,” or debt backed by all countries.

WORLD BRIEF

European leaders seek roadmap for future growth BRUSSELS (AP) — European leaders agree more needs to be done to stimulate growth and regulate banks, though sharp divisions remain over the issue of pooling government debt as a way to ease the continent’s financial crisis.

At the start of a two-day European Union summit, it appeared likely signaled

change in tone from the Mubaraks, who presided over massive corruption that enriched an elite cadre of businessmen and ruling party leaders while half the country of 85 million people struggled in abject poverty.

Morsi and his sons, like many activists of the Muslim Brotherhood movement he belonged to, were imprisoned during the Mubarak regime’s three decades in power.

The old regime banned the Brotherhood and persecuted, jailed and tortured its members as political opponents.

But now, as an Egyptian expression goes, the pyramid has been turned on its head.

The differences between the first ladies are symbolic of the sea of change in Egyptian politics. Morsi is the country’s first freely elected president in modern history, the first civilian and Islamist to hold the office.

And the 84-year-old Mubarak is serving a life sentence in prison for failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters during the uprising.

NEW YORK (AP) — For a morning show used to celebrating family and a connection with its audience, the “Today” show’s farewell to co-host Ann Curry on Thursday was brief, tearful and sad.

It was tinged with the sense of failure, something NBC’s dominant morning show hasn’t experienced in a long time.

Curry, who was co-host with Matt Lauer for a year after several years as the news anchor, fought back tears on the air, saying “this is not as I expected to ever leave this couch.”

Her departure ended a week’s worth of awkward television. She came to work after word got out that NBC was looking to oust her, with neither she nor the network commenting on the stories until Thursday. “I’m sorry I couldn’t carry the ball over the finish line but, man, I did try,” she said.

While Curry was placed in a role to which she was unsuited, blaming her for the “Today” show’s troubles be simplistic. would Expecting her successor — most likely NBC’s Savannah Guthrie — to author an immediate turnaround would be unrealistic.

“There’s nothing wrong with Ann Curry,” said Shelley Ross, former producer for ABC’s “Good Morning America” and CBS’ “The Early Show.” ”It is not an Ann Curry failure.”

Her ouster, however, was NBC’s first visible response to the end of its historic winning streak

AP MOVIE REVIEWS THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: It’s impossible to avoid the comparisons, so we may as well just get them out of the way early so we can move on. This reboot — Prequel? New chapter? It’s hard to decide what to call it — is pretty much different in every way from the staggeringly successful Marvel Comics-inspired trilogy that preceded it. The basics are the same: A high school kid gets bitten by a scientifically modified spider, discovers he has newfound super powers, decides to use them as a vigilante crime fighter and takes to the streets of New York in an unforgivingly tight red-and-blue suit. But in terms of tone, characters, performances and even visual effects, “The Amazing SpiderMan” feels like its own separate entity. It may not be as transporting an experience as those earlier films, especially the first two, but it finds a distinct voice. Much of that has to do with the central performance from Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. In the hands of Tobey Maguire, who originated the role in “Spider-Man” a decade ago, Peter was nerdy, scrawny, insecure — that’s how his everyman relatability manifested itself. Garfield plays Peter as more of a misunderstood outsider, a rebel with a chip on his shoulder. And that slightly arrogant attitude gives the whole movie a restless, reckless energy and a welcome sense of danger.

At the helm, Marc Webb is a very different sort of director. He may not have sounded like the most obvious choice for a hugely anticipated blockbuster based on his only previous feature, the romantic comedy charmer “(500) Days of Summer.” His big set pieces may lack some of the imagination that director Sam Raimi brought, but they’ll do. More importantly, though, he conveys an emotional truth, a pervasive sense of humanity, which may be an even tougher feat in this kind of fantastical scenario. Emma Stone is bright as ever as Peter’s love interest, Gwen Stacy, with Rhys Ifans nicely underplaying his role as Spider-Man’s nemesis. PG-13 for sequences of action and violence. 138 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic MAGIC MIKE: Steven Soderbergh makes movies about sexy subjects, then strips away the sexiness about them. He is fascinated by process, often to a clinical extent. In recent years this has been true of “The Girlfriend Experience” (starring real-life porn star Sasha Grey as a high-priced Manhattan call girl), “Contagion” (about a viral outbreak that claims lives worldwide) and “Haywire” (featuring mixed-martial artist Gina Carano as a special-ops agent seeking revenge for a betrayal). Even the glitzy, star-studded “Ocean’s 11,” one of Soderbergh’s most pleasingly escapist films, takes its time laying out every detail of its ambitious Las Vegas casino heist. Now he’s directed “Magic Mike,” about the cheesy world of male stripping in the cheesy setting of Tampa, Fla. Yes, the dance numbers themselves exude masculine, muscular heat — how could they not with guys like Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello strutting on stage in barely-there costumes? — but Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin take us behind the scenes and linger over the mundane minutiae of the performers’ daily lives. They go thong shopping. They rehearse their routines. They lift weights backstage. And they count their dollar bills when their work is done. Even the after-hours hook-ups with liquored-up ladies from the audience seem like one more obligatory step, like brushing your teeth before going to bed. It all seems glamorous and thrilling at first, though, for Pettyfer’s character, Adam, who becomes known as The Kid. A neophyte in this neon-colored world, he serves as our guide once the more established Mike (Tatum) recruits him to be a dancer at the Club Xquisite male revue. R for pervasive sexual content, brief graphic nudity, language and some drug use. 110 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

PEOPLE LIKE US: It’s that increasingly rare kind of film: an adult drama. The filmmakers seem so nervous about this prospect that they fill the movie with action-film editing and a camera that moves so restlessly through domestic life that you’d think it lost its keys. It comes from the screenwriting duo of Alex Kurtzman (who makes his directorial debut) and Roberto Orci, who wrote the 2009 “Star Trek” reboot, among other blockbusters.

Chris Pine stars as Sam, a glib New Yorker reluctantly summoned home to Los Angeles for his father’s funeral, where he discovers that his rock producer dad secretly fathered a daughter (Elizabeth Banks). She’s a recovering alcoholic working as a bartender, trying desperately to get by as a single mom to a sarcastic, troublemaking 11-year-old (Michael Hall D’Addario). Sam befriends them without revealing their shared roots. It’s a soapy set-up of a familiar, heart-rending melodrama. But it owes much of its charm to the excellent Banks, who enters the film like a powerhouse, striding in heels and a black miniskirt to the principal’s office to pick up her son, while chastising a pair of ogling students: “I know your mothers,” she says. She does much to enliven this awakening of a sibling relationship, forged as much over tacos as through blood. PG-13 for language, some drug use and brief sexuality. 114 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer.

Worth the wait Andy Gibson ready to make debut at Country Concert

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com Andy Gibson has heard all of the cliches: Good things come to those who wait; patience is a virtue.

Yep. He gets it.

He just hopes they’re all true.

“As an artist and musician trying to make it in this industry, you get used to waiting. Things take time. You have to be patient,” he said during a recent phone interview. “I’m with Dale Morris — Kenny Chesney’s management — and he was with Kenny for 10 years before he had a hit. That’s usually the way things go in the music industry.

“Patience is one of those thing you have to strive for.”

Although his debut album isn’t yet available, fans eager to hear — and see — Gibson won’t have to be patient too much longer. They can catch him next week in Fort Loramie, where he’s slated to perform at 5 and 7 p.m. July 6 on the saloon stage.

And he’s eager to get out and meet fans at the annual three-day festival.

“This is like the first summer that I’ve been out where I’ve had a little bit of a name for myself with my own music on the radio,” said Gibson, whose debut single, “Wanna Make You Love Me,” cracked the top 30 last year. “I Googled the concert to learn a little bit about it, and for a town that has 3,000 people to get 15,000 to 20,000 people out there is awesome.

To get huge stars and to have that kind of a crowd is great, and it’s an honor to be a part of it.”

While Gibson is set to make his Fort Loramie debut this year, fans at the 2011 Country Concert got to hear his work during Jason Aldean’s closing night performance. Gibson helped pen the chart-topping hit “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” on which Aldean teamed with Kelly Clarkson for a multi-week No. 1 that took radio by storm.

“Jason turned it into a duet and got Kelly Clarkson to sing with him — that was all his idea,” Gibson remembered. “They did so much with the song and took it somewhere else.”

The 30-year-old Washington native said it was particularly gratifying to see the song grow from a simple thought in his head to a global smash hit.

“To see something from the start — something that started so small … hanging out at a friend’s house with a couple of buddies — to watching it on the CMA Awards with the audience standing up and applauding and screaming, was great. It’s so wild to see something like that from start

Andy Gibson will make his debut appearance at the 2012 Country Country at Hickory Hill Lakes Friday when he performs at 5 and 7 p.m. in the saloon tent.

One-on-one with Andy Gibson • ON WORKING WIT H PRODUCER JAMES STROUD: “I’ve never seen anyone wrangle a band like he does. These guys are top-notch … and then you get someone like James who hears everything going on… so they get in there and definitely know they have to be on top of the game and they perform well. He just knows how to take a song — and he turns it into country ear candy. He can make it exactly what the format wants and needs. But at the same time, he preserves what makes it your music.

• ON HIS UPCOMING ALBUM ON CURB RECOR DS: “There are songs on there that I’ve had in my back pocket for years, and some that I just wrote.

I put the album together so that it doesn’t sound like I was chasing a bunch of songs — I wanted it to tell the story of who I am. There are sentimental story songs, fun party songs and romantic heartfelt songs. It has everything.”

• ON WHAT DR IVES HIM TO KEEP MAKING MUSIC: “Through everything, all the different record deals and publishing deals, I just love the music. I love making music, performing it, recording it, mixing it, writing it — it utilizes all of your faculties. You’re consumed by it and you can’t stop doing it. It’s not what you do; it’s who you are. I wake up and I’m excited about going out to play music. I love the creative aspect of it. Every time you play a song — even though you’ve written it and played it 1,000 times — you’re creating something brand new every time, and I love that.”

FORT LORAMIE to finish and be a part of it all. I’ve never experienced something like that before.”

Gibson is hopeful his upcoming project on Curb Records follows suit.

“There’s no release date set yet (for the album). It’s probably going to be in the fall,” he said. “It’s in the can, finished and ready to go. We’re just waiting on a good time to release it.”

While the album’s “drop” date isn’t set, Gibson said the second single from the CD — “Summer Back” — will be released to radio Tuesday.

“It’s like a theme to after summer — in the fall, talking about what I did during the summer,” Gibson said.

“It’s something I wrote a while back, and it’s definitely a story about a summer vacation. It’s a story … and at the same time, it sends a message to make memories. We can’t relive the life we made, but we can

remember it.”

Now that he’s been out on the road and making some of his own career memories, Gibson has had a chance to take stock of the connection he feels with the audience.

“It’s the greatest feeling to see someone enjoying your music enough to sing along,” he said. “I’ve been out there in the audience singing along to the songs, and it’s wild to think that I’m on the other side of it … that I’m the one making that happen for someone else.

“That’s what it’s all about,” he continued. “There can be 10,000 people out there and you can connect with one person. You have a moment with that person. That’s a personal thing for that split second, and there’s nothing else like it.”

Motivated by the music Campbell gets first crack at C.C.’s main stage this year

Country singer Craig Campbell will return to Fort Loramie July 7 for the Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes.

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com Craig Campbell didn’t hesitate when asked what keeps him motivated these days.

It’s the music, plain and simple.

“It’s not anything I really have a choice in. The music is in me, and it has to come out,” Campbell said.

So when Campbell makes his main stage debut July 7 at the Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes, he’ll be more than happy to share a little of that enthusiasm.

“We’re going to have a big old time,” he said during a recent phone interview.

“My record is more of a traditional sounding record, but we’ll put some edge on it to get the audience excited. We’ll do some old songs so they can sing along, and we’re going to play some of the brand new songs for

Man, we made a great people to judge and see if record. I’m so proud of it,” they like them.” he said. “The first single If his debut record is an indication, he’s on the right (“Family Man”) went all the way to the top 15, and then track.

“Fish” was just one of those Veteran producer Keith songs that we couldn’t deny.

Stegall helped guide We had to put it out there.”

“I dreamed about coming We made a very traditional record the first time to Nashville and making a

around, and we’re going to keep that integrity. But at the same time we’re going to put a little flair on it … make it with a little more edge and cool to listen to.”

Although this won’t be Campbell’s first trip to Fort Loramie — he performed under the tent in the Saloon at last year’s Country Concert — the Georgia native said he’s looking forward to making the move to the main stage.

“I’ve got to put on my big boy pants for this one. I had a lot of fun last year under the tent. We crammed a few hundred people in there … but I’m excited to do a show on the other side.”

Campbell is one of six acts on the July 7 lineup, which includes opening act Ashton Shepherd at noon, Campbell at 2 p.m., Jerrod Niemann at 4 p.m., Sara Evans at 6 p.m., Luke Bryan at 8 p.m. and headliner Blake Shelton at 10 p.m.

TROY TV-5

It’s time for ‘Loyd’ to find his own place to live

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: I have been with "Jim" for eight years. We are in our 40s and have been through a lot together. When I moved in with him three years ago, two of his kids lived with their mother, and the older boy was in prison. I was supportive of Jim's visits to "Lloyd" and also wrote letters myself.

Lloyd got out of prison 18 months ago and was paroled to our home. He is not supposed to frequent bars, but his drinking has increased, and he constantly violates the terms of his parole.

Two months ago, he was arrested for public intoxication and spent the weekend in jail. He had to wear an ankle monitor for 30 days.

Lloyd refuses to abide by our curfew. He wakes us up when he strolls in drunk at 3 a.m. Twice he left the refrigerator open and let the food spoil. He has kicked in our front door and broken numerous things, and now items have been disappearing.

We've given Lloyd chance after chance. We pay all of his bills, including the one for his cellphone service. I've told Jim that Lloyd needs to respect our rules or find somewhere else to live. Jim keeps telling Lloyd to straighten up, but there are never any repercussions, so it never happens. I'm exhausted and can't take much more. I don't want to ruin my relationship with Jim. How do I proceed from here?

— Lost in Love Dear Lost: Jim thinks he is protecting his son, but unfortunately, he is only reinforcing Lloyd's irresponsible behavior. The best thing for Lloyd would be to get a job (try the Safer Foundation at saferfoundation.org) and move into his own place. However, you won't be able to encourage Lloyd's independence without Jim's support, so joint counseling is a good place to start. Also try Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for additional help.

Dear Annie: I'm a 62-year-old widow and have no children. In the past three years, five people close to me died, leaving me alone except for two nieces and one nephew, and none of them is speaking to me.

When my husband passed, we had no money due to longstanding financial problems. Before my sister died, we were trying to work through her feelings about me.

She never liked me and had a great deal of anger toward me. At the time, I was still having financial difficulties and could not attend her funeral or send flowers.

My nephew offered to pay for the trip, but I didn't feel comfortable accepting. I know I should have called, but I didn't know what to say. By the time my mother died, my sister's kids had pretty much ruled me out.

I have written letters to them explaining the problems in our family. I have sent handmade presents to my nephew's two little girls and mailed cheerful Christmas greetings, all to no avail. No thank-you notes.

Nothing.

I realize they may have "inherited" their mother's feelings toward me, but I'm at the point where I'm ready to give up all contact. Is this the end? — No Family Dear Family: We think your nieces and nephew are unhappy because you neither called nor sent a card when their mother died. We understand you were unsure of what to say, but your silence reinforced the negative impression they already had from their mother. You need to apologize. Beyond that, there are no guarantees. Please look for "family" among your friends.

Dear Annie: "Sad Wife" is unhappy that her husband won't look for anything better than his minimum-wage job. She has to put her child in day care so she can provide for her family. If she has to be "Mrs. Career," he should be "Mr. Mom." But right now, he has the best of both worlds. I bet if she ditches the day care and tells him to stay home, raise the baby and take care of the house, he'll find a better job. — Louisville Lady Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s a few tips for cellphone etiquette Dear Readers: What’s with people who have poor cellphone manners? Here are some hints to make you (and hopefully those around you) aware of your surroundings: • Lower your voice and watch your language! People usually can hear everything you are saying!

• If your phone must be on in a business meeting or restaurant, put it on “vibrate” or “silent.”

• Do not text while in class, at a meeting or driving (which is illegal in most states)!

• If you are in a meeting or at lunch and must answer the phone, excuse yourself and step away. — Heloise CLEAN CANISTER

Hints from Heloise Columnist Dear Heloise: I have a set of canisters for my kitchen that are terra cotta on the outside (like flowerpots). They have grease spots on them (only on the outside). I have tried everything I know to get the grease out. I’ve tried the dishwasher and soaking in vinegar and bleach. Can you recommend anything else I can

try? I hate to get rid of them, because I do love them! — Jenny, via email What an icky situation! Try using a little dish soap (one that cuts grease), warm water and a hard-bristle scrub brush to get the spots out. Scrub and let sit for 30 minutes or so. Make sure to rinse them well to remove soap residue. If you can’t get spots out, try the next best thing: disguise them! You can do this in several ways. Try painting on decorations, use those new rub-on transfers or mosaic them. Hope this helps your beloved set of canisters. — Heloise OLD PHONE DIRECTORY Dear Heloise: When my new

phone directory(ies) arrives, I take the old one and put it under the front seat of my car. Then I toss the one that’s two years old.

They don’t change too much in one year’s time.

Since the majority of drivers have a cellphone, this ensures that they never have to leave the safety of their car to call for auto service, a tow truck, etc. Also, most phone books now include local maps and other information that may be valuable at some time.

— Annette S., Davie, Fla. Great idea! Just be sure to put it under the passenger seat. It isn’t safe under the driver’s side.

— Heloise

HOROSCOPE Friday, June 29, 2012 Leaping from one project to another could turn out to be a fruitless waste of time in the year ahead, so try to get a handle on things. Take plenty of time to establish a strong foundation in any enterprise that you become involved in.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — In order to gratify a personal ambition, you might unthinkingly do something at the expense of another.

Consider all of the ramifications before taking action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Most of the time you’ll be very pragmatic, but some little thing you take for granted could be your downfall, causing you an unexpected loss. Be detail-conscious at all times.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When it comes to your commercial dealings, keep your guard up constantly.

If you’re naive, there’s a chance you could link up with someone who isn’t as ethical as you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Regardless of their ingenuity, if your ideas are not implemented properly they won’t produce the results you want. Make their execution as bright as your initial thinking.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Pay particular attention to details, especially if you are working on a group endeavor in which many folks have a finger. If someone makes a mistake, another will compound it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It would be best not to volunteer to help someone with a project about which you know nothing. You might be the one who is held accountable if anything goes wrong.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — In order to placate your mate, you might agree to do something that goes against your better judgment.

You would be far better off hammering out an agreement that you can both live with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Just in case something disruptive should occur that interrupts your work, it would be better for you to focus on getting essential tasks done early in the day.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You can be a pretty good manager of your funds when you put your mind to it. However, it’ll be up to you to prevent your whimsical impulses from gaining the upper hand.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Nothing good will come of you and a colleague pulling in opposite directions. You’ll have to first straighten out your differences before you can work together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Regardless of how juicy the news, you should check it out before passing it on as gospel. You could wrongly ruin someone’s reputation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s good to be enthusiastic about something that you want, but check out its price first before you make a financial commitment. It might be much cheaper somewhere else.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, June 29, the 181st day of 2012. There are 185 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 29, 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Furman v.

Georgia, Jackson v. Georgia and Branch v. Texas, struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (The ruling prompted states to effectively impose a moratorium on executions until

their capital punishment laws could be revised.)

On this date: • In 1613, the original Globe Theatre in London was destroyed by a fire.

• In 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. (Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties except for tea.)

• In 1911, the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers had its beginnings as Pope Pius X gave his blessing for the formation of The Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America.

• Today’s Birthdays: Movie producer Robert Evans is 82.

Songwriter L. Russell Brown is 72. Actor Gary Busey is 68.

Comedian Richard Lewis is 65.

Actor-turned-politican-turnedradio personality Fred Grandy is 64. Rock musician Ian Paice (Deep Purple) is 64.

Triple digits felt in Illinois, nationwide CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Temperatures pushed through the 100-degree mark over most of Illinois on Thursday, but southern Illinois won’t share in the relief the northern half of the state expects by the weekend.

The southern part of state will see highs well above 100 for days — through July 4 in some areas — while temperatures north will drop back into the 80s and 90s.

Burn bans were in place across much of the state, and some officials speculated on the likelihood that fireworks shows planned for the holiday could be called off in some spots. The unusual round of heat also could exacerbate an already tough year for southern Illinois’ corn and soybeans. And in some places, Chicago and Champaign among them, schools that lacked air conditioning cancelled summer classes.

“In Carbondale, the highest temperature we’re forecasting is 109 degrees (Friday),” National Weather Service meteorologist Robin Smith said Thursday, marveling at the unusually high temperature.

And State Climatologist Jim Angel said daily records could be set in many towns, especially those farther south.

The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

3 homers help Indians end skid BALTIMORE (AP) The Cleveland Indians found the perfect way to end a bothersome losing streak, and it had little to do with a clubhouse meeting or manager Manny Acta’s ability as a motivational speaker.

Seems as if there’s nothing like a trio of long balls to get a team back on track.

Johnny Damon and Asdrubal Cabrera hit three-run homers, Shin-Soo Choo had a solo shot, and the Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 Thursday night to end a five-game skid.

Damon’s home run put the Indians up 3-0 in the second inning, Choo made it 4-0 and Cabrera provided the clincher in the seventh.

“Johnny Damon’s three-run homer … pretty much set the tone for us and gave us some relief from the get-go,” Acta said.

“It was an early lead, and that Cabrera homer was huge, something that we really needed.

Choo, obviously. It feels good that we were able to have good atbats against a left-handed pitcher today.”

Cleveland came in 5-16 against left-handed starters, but the Indians had their way against Orioles lefty Wei-Yin Chen (7-4).

J.J. Hardy homered for the Orioles, who have lost seven of AP PHOTO nine. Baltimore has scored only 14 runs during that span and is Cleveland Indians’ Johnny Damon follows through on a three-run home run during the second inning against the Baltimore Orioles ■ See INDIANS on 18 on Thursday in Baltimore.

Johnny on the spot Nadal

upset No. 2 seed beaten

by No. 100 Rosol WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Rafael Nadal bumped into his unknown and unheralded opponent as they headed to a break between games. Perhaps it was incidental contact.

At the previous changeover, Nadal stood and barked at the chair umpire, complaining about being distracted by 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol while serving. Later, Nadal shook his head and frowned when a Wimbledon official explained that, with light fading and the second-round match heading to a fifth set, they’d need a 45-minute break to close the retractable roof and turn on the lights at Centre Court.

Of all the things that rattled Nadal on Thursday evening, the most significant was Rosol’s gutsy game — his 22 aces, violent groundstrokes and shot-punctuating staredowns. Put it together and Rosol, making his debut at the All England Club, overpowered 11-time Grand Slam champion Nadal 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 64, one of the most astonishing results in tennis history.

“That’s (what) happens when you play against a player who is able to hit the ball very hard, hit the ball without thinking and feeling the pressure,” the secondseeded Nadal said. “At the end, when the opponent wants to play like he wanted to play in the fifth (set), you are in his hands, no?

Everything was going right for him.”

It’s the first time since 2005 AP PHOTO that Nadal lost in the second Cincinnati Reds’ Johnny Cueto works against the San Francisco Giants in the first inning on round at any major tournament.

Thursday in San Francisco. Cueto and the Reds were behind 2-0 in the top of the fifth inning at time It also ends two streaks for the of press, with Giants starter Madison Bumgarner working on a no-hitter through four.

Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, left, is congratulated by former teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, right, after Davis was selected the No. 1 overall draft pick by the New Orleans Hornets in the NBA draft Thursday in Newark, N.J. Kidd-Gilchrist was selected No. 2 overall by the Charlotte Bobcats.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — No one-and-done for Kentucky’s kids in the NBA draft. The Wildcats instead became the first school to go 1-2.

After the New Orleans Hornets selected Kentucky forward Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick Thursday, Charlotte followed by taking fellow freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

The Wildcats are the first school to have the top two picks, part of what they hoped would be perhaps five or even six players selected in the first round. John Calipari has been criticized for recruiting “one-and-done” players they stay the required one year and leave but he looked thrilled hugging his two stars.

“It’s crazy,” Davis said.

“Michael is a great player. We

have two down and four more to go. Hopefully all of them will go in the first round.”

It’s been a long time since a school made such an impact at the top of the draft.

UCLA had the Nos. 1 and 3 picks in 1969, when Milwaukee took Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then Lew Alcindor and Lucius Allen went third to the Seattle SuperSonics.

Davis will begin his pro career in the same city where he ended it with a national title. College basketball’s player of the year as a freshman was the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four despite shooting just 1 for 10 from the field in the championship game, grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking six shots

Scream queens

Wimbledon

WTA wants stars seen, not heard

BY JIM LITKE AP Sports Columnist Maria Sharapova might look like a great tennis player to you.

Now go stand in front of a TV. Crank the volume all the way up. Listen for the “yowl” just before she hits the ball.

To a decibel meter, Sharapova might as well be a food processor.

The Williams sisters?

They sound like a subway car roaring by. Victoria Azarenka? A monster truck.

So if you wondered why women’s tennis officials revived talk of a “grunt-ometer” during one of their busiest stretches of the season, here’s the short answer: As much as the WTA loves having its stars seen during the fortnight at Wimbledon, it’s doesn’t necessarily want them to be heard — at least not during matches.

The problem is only compounded when some of the best players also happen to be among the loudest.

Unfortunately, grunts approaching 100 decibels aren’t limited to the four above and they aren’t just distracting TV audiences and fans in the seats. They’re driving opponents crazy, more and more it seems, even in early-round matches.

Not long after No. 15 Sabine Lisicki beat unseeded Bojana Jovanovski on Wednesday, the winner confirmed she’d gone to the chair umpire during the match to complain she couldn’t hear the ball being hit because of Jovanovski’s grunting. A moment later, she was asked, “How does it compare with Sharapova and Azarenka?”

“It was completely different, but off-putting, as well,” Lisicki said. “Grunting is part of the game, but it shouldn’t be off-putting and be an advantage for the opponent, the one who is doing it.”

Asked about her own grunting, Lisicki said, “Sometimes I do, yes, but I hope it’s not as bad. No one ever complains, though.”

Those exchanges, in a nutshell, suggest what a disaster deploying a “grunt-o-meter” — a term WTA officials carefully avoid — at courtside could become.

For one thing, it reinforces the perception that a doublestandard still governs tennis, when the memory of unequal pay for the sexes is still shameful enough and there’s no known movement afoot to mute the best men’s tennis players, even though reigning No. 1 Novak Djokovic often croaks like a bullfrog and Rafael Nadal sounds on occasion like he’s gargling.

Contrast how every match-up between those two is billed, compared to the way the Sharapova-Azarenka duel was played in the media the day before their Australian Open final: “Shrieks of nature,” one tabloid said.

“Earplugs ready,” said another. “It’s the scream queen final.”

Asked what she thought about the debate, Serena Williams barely acknowledged there was one.

“I’m not thinking about it,” she said.

Sharapova seemed to consider it briefly. Asked if there was anything she could do to cut down the volume of her grunts, she replied, “Umm, certainly not now. Not since I’ve been doing it since I was 4 years old. It’s definitely tough and impossible to do when you’ve played this sport for over 20 years.”

It’s not that Sharapova wouldn’t like to be quieter.

She’s had discussions previously with WTA chairman and chief executive Stacey Allaster, and she applauds the effort — so long as they start with the kids.

“Going to the juniors, going to the academies that are producing the young players, and putting a system in place,” Sharapova said, “I think it’s extremely smart.”

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 the previous five Grand Slams, and also reached the final the last five times he entered Wimbledon, winning the grass-court tournament in 2008 and 2010.

“He played a good match,” Rosol said, “but I think I was better today.”

Absolutely true.

Actually, seven-time French Open champion Nadal came oh-so-close to a straight-set exit. He barely avoided losing the opener, forced to erase three set points before taking it in the tiebreaker when Rosol plopped a gimme forehand into the net.

Rosol took the next two sets, pounding serves, returning well and swinging away from the baseline.

It was an aggressive approach, as though Rosol wanted to out-muscle the ultimate on-court bully,

Beat it, Beckham

Rose Bowl stays put; changes for NFL times

Former captain fails to make Olympic team LONDON (AP) — Bending free kicks. Hollywood looks. National hero.

David Beckham — Britain’s most famous sportsman — seemed destined to be a headliner at the London Olympics.

Not on the soccer field.

The former England captain failed to make the British Olympic team, a surprise snub for a local lad who helped secure the games for his city and worked tirelessly to promote them.

“Naturally, I am very disappointed,” Beckham said Thursday after being notified that he hadn’t been selected for the final 18-man squad.

“But there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me.”

The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder had made Britain’s 35-man preliminary shortlist and seemed certain to win one of the three places allowed for players over the age of 23.

Instead, he was informed by coach Stuart Pearce that he hadn’t made the final squad.

“Everyone knows how much playing for my country has always meant to me, so I would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad,” the 37-year-old Beckham said in a statement Thursday.

Beckham’s ties to the Olympics go back to 2005 when he joined the bid team run by Sebastian Coe for the competition against Paris, Madrid, New York and Moscow. He was with the team in Singapore when London beat Paris in the final round of voting, adding credibility not just as a celebrity but as an east London native.

Since then, Beckham has taken part in countless Olympic activities.

He even accompanied the Olympic flame on a flight from Greece to England last month and lit a cauldron signaling the start of the British torch relay.

“David has been an extraordinary supporter, probably our No. 1 supporter, of the games from the very beginning and is keen to continue his enthusiastic support right to the end,” Coe said.

He indicated there could still be a role for Beckham, though not in a sporting capacity.

“He really gets this,” Coe said. “He

Former England captain Beckham has failed to make the British soccer team for the London Olympics. is from east London and knows how important the games and sport are to young people. He is a great role model and we are lucky to have such an advocate. I will be talking to him about a games-time role.”

British bookmaker Ladbrokes slashed the odds on Beckham being given the honor of lighting the Olympic flame at the July 27 opening ceremony, making him 5-1. Five-time rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave is the 1-2 favorite. The Olympic Stadium is located near Leytonstone, where Beckham was born.

For his part, Beckham has so far only said he hopes to attend the Olympics and support Britain’s athletes.

“As a Londoner, I will have been really proud to have played a small part in bringing the Olympics to my home town as part of Seb’s team, and I can’t wait for the games to begin and enjoy every moment along with the rest of Great Britain,” Beckham said.

Beckham’s absence from the team will come as a big disappointment to

his fans around the world.

Laura Robson, who lost a firstround doubles match at Wimbledon on Thursday with fellow British partner Heather Watson, said: “Obviously, I’m disappointed that he’s not going to be joining myself and Heather in the Olympic Village.”

Then she jokingly added: “Won’t be able to stalk him.”

The decision by Pearce to omit Beckham almost certainly spells the end of his career representing his country. He has made 115 England appearances, with the last coming in 2009.

Former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who made a record 125 appearances for the national team, backed Pearce’s decision to omit Beckham.

“He’s been a fantastic player over the years, certainly when he was at his peak, but he’s nowhere the player he was,” Shilton said on British television. “It would have been great from a publicity point of view, but Stuart Pearce obviously feels he’d struggle in that type of tournament.”

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The Rose Bowl has agreed to a 12-year extension with ESPN that will keep the game on the network through 2026.

ESPN President John Skipper, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott and Rose Bowl officials announced the deal Thursday. Skipper called the Rose Bowl “one of sport’s most meaningful” events.

ESPN will keep the broadcast rights to the Rose Bowl regardless of the final format developed for college football’s new playoff system, which kicks in for the 2014 season. The first championship game under the new system is Jan. 12, 2015.

The network’s current deal with the Rose Bowl runs through the 2014 BCS title game.

• NFL Doubleheaders Starting Later NEW YORK — Tim Tebow was leading the Broncos on yet another improbable last-minute comeback, and fans in New York, Dallas and other football-mad markets didn’t get to see the end.

The NFL announced a scheduling change Thursday aimed at preventing such moments. The league is shifting the start time of the second game of its Sunday TV doubleheaders by 10 minutes to ensure fewer fans miss any of the action on the field.

The late afternoon matchups on CBS and Fox will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET instead of 4:15. Late games not on that week’s doubleheader network will still start at 4:05.

Because of the networks’ contractual obligations, fans in the past would sometimes miss the end of the early telecast or the beginning of the late one if the 1 p.m. game ran long. The broadcasters must switch to the start of the second game in the home teams’ cities even if the day’s first televised contest is still going on. For fans in other markets, that overlap means they don’t get to see the opening of the late game.

Extending its winless streak against Italy in major tournaments to eight matches, Germany had no answer for Balotelli nor Antonio Cassano’s creativity.

In the 20th minute, Balotelli had no trouble getting past Holger Badstuber to head in a

pinpoint cross from Cassano. Then in the 36th, the 21-year-old striker received the ball behind the defense and blasted a long shot into the top right corner.

While he did score against Ireland, Balotelli was criticized for wasting numerous chances against Spain, Croatia and England.

“This is the greatest night of my life, but I hope Sunday is going to be even better,” said Balotelli, who went over to his mother after the match and dedicated the goals to her. “In the opening matches I had

a lot of chances, and I wasn’t able to finish them. But In football you also need luck.”

Germany failed to trouble Italy for much of the match, but Mesut Oezil scored a consolation penalty in injury time after Federico Balzaretti was whistled for a handball.

Germany had entered the game on a world record 15-match winning streak in competitive matches.

“It’s a very bitter defeat,” Germany captain Philipp Lahm said. “We tried everything in the second half but our goal

came too late. We have so much potential in our team but if we cannot give the right performance at the right time or are not clever enough, then we lose such a game.”

Italy will face defending champion Spain in Sunday’s final in Kiev, Ukraine a rematch of their 1-1 draw that opened Group C. “We showed we’re on Spain’s level and that’s where we started this run,” Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio said.

“It’s no longer a question of fear. Now we’ve got to pull out everything we

still have inside ourselves.”

While Italy has won four World Cups, it’s only European Championship title came in 1968. Like when they won the 1982 and 2006 World Cups, the Azzurri have managed to maintain their focus despite a match-fixing and betting scandal at home.

“All I can say is that when you talk about Italy, everyone needs to be careful,” Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said. “We played an extraordinary match.

We displayed a model of fair play and attachment to this shirt.”

■ Olympics

Simpson focuses on race as fires burn near home EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — For four minutes, Jenny Simpson was focused on a race and not a raging wildfire back home in Colorado.

The 1,500-meter runner was all business in her heat Thursday night at the Olympic track trials. But after crossing the finish line, all she could think about was the fire near Colorado Springs that has forced more than 30,000 residents from their homes.

Simpson lives a little bit north in Monument. She doesn’t think her home is affected, but is only getting sporadic updates from a house sitter.

“I’m suspicious everyone wants me to focus on my racing here. I’ll find out the state of my home when I get home,” she said.

Simpson easily made it through qualifying. She finished in 4 minutes, 16.70

seconds, taking second in her heat behind Shannon Rowbury to advance on to the semifinals.

“The rounds are always scary, because there’s so much jockeying around and you know it’s not going to be fast,” Simpson said. “I really planned on holding back, but with 800 to go, I thought everyone was still there. I thought, ‘Just go to front and know you’re in.’

“But (the fires), that’s what we really should be talking about.”

There have been an estimated 346 homes destroyed this week, making it the most destructive fire in the western state’s history, officials said. A fire in northern Colorado, which is still burning, destroyed 257 homes and until Thursday was the most destructive in state history.

Amid the devastation in

the foothills of Colorado Springs, there were hopeful signs. The flames that were advancing on the U.S. Air Force Academy were stopped and cooler conditions could help slow the fire.

The U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters and an athlete training center are in Colorado Springs, but appear safe.

However, about 40 USOC employees were evacuated from their Colorado Springs homes ahead of the fire.

“It’s really scary,” Simpson said. “There are a lot of friends and family involved.”

After the trials, Simpson doesn’t plan on returning to Colorado to train. She could possibly work out in Europe, since she’s headed there anyway for some competitions.

This was a daunting day on the track for Simpson, especially since Mary Slaney was supposed to be in the crowd to watch her race.

Last summer, Simpson became the first American woman to win a world title in the 1,500 since Slaney Decker back then in 1983.

“Knowing Mary is in the stands, it almost makes me want to stop and take it in myself,” Simpson said. “But no, focus, focus, I have a job to do. I’m very honored she’s there watching us.”

• Phelps Wins Again OMAHA, Neb. — Michael Phelps stayed on course to swim eight events at the London Olympics with a dominating win in the 200-meter butterfly at the U.S. swimming trials Thursday night.

He trailed Davis Tarwater at the first and

second turns, but there’s was never any doubt that Phelps would pull ahead in his signature stroke. He surged ahead on the third leg and was a body-length ahead of the field when he touched in 1 minute, 53.65 seconds.

The real race was for second place and a spot on the Olympic team. Tyler Clary, who lost out to Phelps in the 400 individual medley, rallied from behind for a time of 1:55.12, edging Bouiller’s time of 1:55.79.

Clary pumped his right fist and pounded the water when he saw the scoreboard.

• Mikulak Shines SAN JOSE, Calif. — So much for the U.S. men’s gymnastics team being a two-man show.

Sam Mikulak was impressive during the first

day of the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials Thursday, threatening to break up the grip national champion John Orozco and Danell Leyva have on the role of top Americans heading into the London Olympics.

Looking as relaxed as if he was competing in a college dual meet for Michigan, the 2011 NCAA champion posted an allaround score of 91.80, the best on a day many of the other contenders to make the five-man Olympic team faltered.

Leyva moved past Orozco into first place in the overall standings, which combine scores from nationals and trials, but couldn’t top Mikulak, at least for a couple of hours. Mikulak remains third in the overall standings but drew closer to the top two heading into the finals Saturday.

Indians

The All-Star state

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 3 for 52 with runners in scoring position over the last 10 games, including 1 for 5 in this one.

Acta held a closed-door meeting before the game to make sure his players had the proper mind-set following their five-game losing streak.

Asked what he told the team, Acta replied, “It’s a very long season, a roller coaster where you go up and down. It’s about staying positive, sticking together and just making sure that you do what you’re supposed to do and not panic.”

The Indians responded by coming within one home run of their season high.

That, combined with an effective outing by rookie Zach McAllister, put Cleveland back over the .500 mark at 38-37.

“We haven’t been swinging the bats so well,” Damon said. “We got three

(runs) in the second … added another run with Choo’s homer, and then Cabrera just topped it off for us. It’s been a while since we’ve hit the long ball. The long ball puts runs on the board, and that’s what it did today.”

And what of the closeddoor session?

“The most important thing with the meeting is to understand slumps happen in this game,” Damon said.

Recalled from Triple-A Columbus before the game, McAllister allowed two runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings to earn his second big league win.

McAllister (2-1) struck out six and walked one in his fifth career start.

“It’s definitely exciting to be back up and get off to a good start,” the right-hander said.

Chen gave up six runs, six hits (including two homers) and three walks in 6 1-3 innings.

Cleveland takes Waiters No. 4 INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) The Cavaliers found a running mate for Kyrie Irving, just not the expected one.

Dion Waiters was a surprise.

Needing a scorer to support Irving, the Cavs chose the Syracuse shooting guard Thursday night with the No. 4 overall pick, a somewhat stunning selection after signs in recent days pointed toward the club coveting Florida guard Bradley Beal, who went to Washington at No. 3.

The Cavs discussed a trade with Charlotte to move up to No. 2, but a deal never materialized and the Bobcats took Kentucky’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

When it was Cleveland’s turn on the clock, the club passed on taking North Carolina forward Harrison Barnes and nabbed Waiters.

In two drafts, the Cavs have rebuilt a backcourt they hope stays together for years.

“I’ve known him for a long time,” Waiters said of Irving. “I can’t wait to get out there with him. I’m very excited. I wish it started tomorrow.”

It’s the second year in a row that Cleveland general manager Chris Grant has shaken up the top of the draft. Last year, he took for-

ward Tristan Thompson with the fourth pick, much earlier than experts predicted. But Thompson proved to be a solid choice, and the Cavs hope they have the same luck with Waiters.

The club desperately needed a wing scorer and a complementary piece for Irving, last year’s No. 1 overall pick who didn’t disappoint this season and was named Rookie of the Year. Waiters should take some of the scoring burden off Irving, and he doesn’t appear to lack any confidence.

“I’m an all-around player,” he said on a conference call when asked to describe his game. “I feel like I don’t have any weaknesses.”

The selection of Waiters didn’t sit well with some of the fans attending the team’s draft party at Quicken Loans Arena.

Waiters didn’t receive the same publicity as other players at the top of the draft board, but that didn’t dissuade the Cavs.

Later in the first round, the Cavs acquired 7-foot center Tyler Zeller from Dallas in exchange for the No. 24 overall pick and two second-round selections (Nos. 33 and 34). The Mavericks selected Zeller at No. 17 before shipping his rights to Cleveland.

MLB fans have fallen in love with Texas

By The Associated Press Two straight trips to the World Series have turned the Texas Rangers into baseball’s glamour gang.

Josh Hamilton is the most popular player in the game. Mike Napoli could run for mayor of Arlington.

Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz and Yu Darvish — household names by now.

Just a few years ago the Rangers were toiling in virtual obscurity, sweating out one loss after another in that stifling Texas heat while the Yankees and Red Sox soaked up all the AllStar votes.

Not anymore.

Take a look at the last American League balloting update and it’s striking to see how much fans have fallen in love with the Rangers.

Hamilton was on pace to break the record for most votes received in one season. Napoli and Beltre were leading at their positions, while three other teammates were running second.

Cruz was neck-and-neck with Toronto slugger Jose Bautista for the final starting outfield spot.

Even part-time first baseman Mitch Moreland had 282,000 more votes than Albert Pujols.

And that was all before anyone had weighed in on the All-Star pitching staff, which could easily include Darvish, Matt Harrison and Joe Nathan.

Managing the AL squad, of course, will be Rangers skipper Ron Washington — for the second consecutive year.

“I know what I have to do,” Washington said. “Last year, I was being guided as to what I have to do. This year, I know. I get eight picks, and five of them have

Tony La Russa will be on the National League bench July 10 in Kansas City even though he retired last fall after managing the St. Louis Cardinals to a World Series victory over the Rangers.

As usual, there are difficult All-Star choices for fans and managers alike.

Beltre or Miguel Cabrera in the AL lineup at third base?

Stephen

Strasburg, Matt Cain or R.A. Dickey on the mound for the NL? Some of the game’s biggest stars will likely be absent due to injuries: Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, Matt Kemp, Troy Tulowitzki, Evan Longoria, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and now CC Sabathia.

Others figure to miss out because of subpar stats: Pujols, Tim Lincecum, Alex Rodriguez, Cliff Lee. That all opens room for

deserving newcomers, though: Carlos Ruiz, Chris Sale and Giancarlo Stanton, to name a few.

There are 34 spots on each roster and at least 13 must go to pitchers. Every club needs to be represented, which forces tough decisions.

The league that wins gets home-field advantage in the World Series again, which has helped the NL take home two consecutive championships.

Patrick’s in Elizabeth, N.J., and fans chanted “MKG! MKG!” as he walked off the stage. Though he and Davis talked before the draft, they didn’t discuss the history the Wildcats were about to make.

“No. I was shocked at first,” Kidd-Gilchrist said.

“I was shocked. But no, we didn’t. We didn’t at all.”

But North Carolina was actually outpacing the Wildcats through the first 20 picks, with Harrison Barnes (No. 7, Golden State), Kendall Marshall (No. 13, Phoenix), John Henson (No. 14, Milwaukee) and Tyler Zeller (No. 17, Dallas) going between Kidd-Gilchrist and the next Kentucky player, Terrence Jones at No. 18 to Houston.

Florida’s Bradley Beal went third to Washington, making it three SEC fresh-

man in the first three picks.

Cleveland followed with the surprisingly early pick of Syracuse sixth man Dion Waiters at No. 4.

Thomas Robinson of Kansas, who hoped to go second, fell to Sacramento at No. 5. Portland took Weber State’s Damian Lillard at No 6 with its first of two lottery picks, and Barnes was taken seventh

by Golden State.

After Washington’s Terrence Ross went to Toronto and Connecticut’s Andre Drummond to Detroit, the Hornets rounded out the top 10 by taking Duke guard Austin Rivers with a pick they acquired in the Paul trade. Rivers hugged his father, Boston coach Doc Rivers, who came to be with his family instead of with the Celtics, who owned two later firstround picks.

■ National Basketball Association

Draft ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 in the victory over Kansas.

Davis slipped on a blue and purple Hornets hat above a conservative gray suit that took no attention away from basketball’s most famous eyebrow.

Davis even attempted to capitalize on the attention his unibrow gets, trademarking “Fear The Brow” and “Raise The Brow” earlier this month.

On the floor, Davis has the agility of a guard and he was one only a few years ago.

The 6-foot-10 Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks, becoming a dominant defender after growing 7 inches from the start of his junior year of high school.

A season after the Hornets traded longtime star Chris Paul, Davis is ready to be their center-

piece, since playing for the Wildcats means he’s already accustomed to plenty of attention.

“Like I said, at Kentucky we had it all the time, especially the six who played, we had the spotlight all the time,” Davis said. “I think it really prepared me.”

Charlotte, coming off a 7-59 season and the worst winning percentage in NBA history, had been open to moving the No. 2 pick if it found the right deal.

Instead, Michael Jordan’s team went with KiddGilchrist, whose selection by the Bobcats was loudly cheered, a sharp contrast from the boos Commissioner David Stern received when coming out to announce the picks.

The new Charlotte swingman played in high school at nearby St.
