Romney picks running mate

INSIDE

Ryan attacks Obama’s ‘record of failure’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney’s running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, wasted little time tearing into President Barack Obama on Saturday, lambasting the Democrat’s “record of failure” just hours after being named to the GOP ticket.

Moving into a role as Romney’s chief attack dog, Ryan declared Saturday that the nation under Obama’s leadership is struggling through the “worst economic recovery in 70 years.” “No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation,” Ryan said, standing at

Romney’s side for the first time as the Republican presidential ticket on the USS Wisconsin, a retired battleship. “And, in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn’t make things better.”

Romney selected the 42-yearold Ryan, a seven-term congressman, from a short list that included Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. Ryan is the architect of a conservative and intensely controversial long-term budget plan to

Doctors target gun violence as social disease MILWAUKEE (AP) — Is a gun like a virus, a car, tobacco or alcohol? Yes, say public health experts, who in the wake of recent mass shootings are calling for a fresh look at gun violence as a social disease. What we need, they say, is a public health approach to the problem, like the highway safety measures, product changes and driving laws that slashed deaths from car crashes decades ago, even as the number of vehicles on the road rose. One example: Guardrails are now curved to the ground instead of having sharp metal ends that stick out and pose a hazard in a crash. “People used to spear themselves and we blamed the drivers for that,” said Dr. Garen Wintemute, an emergency medicine professor who directs the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis. It wasn’t enough back then to curb deaths just by trying to make people better drivers, and it isn’t enough now to tackle gun violence by focusing solely on the people doing the shooting, he and other doctors say. They want a sciencebased, pragmatic approach based on the reality of a society saturated with guns and seek better ways of preventing harm from them. The need for a new approach crystallized last Sunday for one of the nation’s leading gun violence experts, Dr. Stephen Hargarten. He found him-

self treating victims of the Sikh temple shootings at the emergency department he heads in Milwaukee. Seven people were killed, including the gunman, and three were seriously injured. It happened two weeks after the shooting that killed 12 people and injured 58 at a movie theater in Colorado, and two days before a man pleaded guilty to killing six people and wounding 13, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Tucson, Ariz., last year. “What I’m struggling with is, is this the new social norm? This is what we’re going to have to live with if we have more personal access to firearms,” said Hargarten, emergency medicine chief at Froedtert Hospital and director of the Injury Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “We have a public health issue to discuss. Do we wait for the next outbreak or is there something we can do to prevent it?” About 260 million to 300 million firearms are owned by civilians in the United States; about one-third of American homes have one. Guns are used in two-thirds of homicides, according to the FBI. About 9 percent of all violent crimes involve a gun roughly 338,000 cases each year. Mass shootings don’t seem to be on the rise, but not all police agencies report details like the number of victims per shooting and reporting lags by more than a year, so recent trends are not known.

“The greater toll is not from these clusters but from endemic violence, the stuff that occurs every day and doesn’t make the headlines,” said Wintemute, the California researcher. More than 73,000 emergency room visits in 2010 were for firearm-related injuries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. At the same time, violent crime has been falling and the murder rate is less than half what it was two decades ago. And Gallup polls have shown support for stricter gun laws has been falling since 1990. Last year 55 percent of Americans said gun laws should remain the same or become more lenient. Dr. David Satcher tried to make gun violence a public health issue when he became CDC director in 1993. Four years later, laws that allow the carrying of concealed weapons drew attention when two women were shot at an Indianapolis restaurant after a patron’s gun fell out of his pocket and accidentally fired. Ironically, the victims were health educators in town for an American Public Health Association convention. That same year, Hargarten won a federal grant to establish the nation’s first Firearm Injury Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “Unlike almost all other consumer products, there is no national product safety oversight of firearms,” he wrote in the Wisconsin Medical Journal.

mer, especially if sick pigs have been identified. • If you have animals — including swine — watch them for signs of illness and call a veterinarian if you suspect they might be sick. • Avoid close contact with animals that look or act ill. • Avoid contact with pigs if you are experiencing flulike symptoms. If you can’t avoid pig contact when you are sick, wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask that covers your mouth and nose. • If you’ve been near pigs and see a doctor for flu-like symptoms, tell the

doctor about your contact. • If you develop flu symptoms, especially after pig contact, get treated right away. Both Tamiflu and Relenza are effective against H3N2v swine flu. Just in case the H3N2v bug learns to spread easily among people, the CDC has developed a vaccine. Clinical trials are planned. Meanwhile, as fall approaches, the CDC advises people to plan to get their seasonal flu vaccine. It may not protect against H3N2v, but human flu bugs are certain to start circulating before the 20122013 flu season is over.

• Continued from A1 remake Medicare and cut trillions in federal spending. His selection immediately thrusts those budget plans into the forefront of the presidential contest. Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, called Ryan “the architect of the radical Republican House budget” proposal and said the plan “would end Medicare as we know it.” “We won’t duck the tough issues,” Ryan said during his acceptance speech. “We will lead.” As his family came on stage, Ryan knelt to embrace his 10-year-old daughter, Liza, and sons Charles, 8, and Sam, 7, before kissing his wife, Janna. The GOP ticket made its debut at a naval museum in Norfolk, Va., the initial stop of a bus tour through four battleground states in as many days. It seemed likely a stop in Ryan’s home state would be added to previously scheduled appearances in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio. As part of the tour, Romney and Ryan stopped at a bakery in Ashland, Va., to buy pie. Asked if saying yes to Romney was an easy decision, Ryan said: “It was. It was. We’ve got to save the country.” At a subsequent event at a college gymnasium, the walls were decorated with printed and handmade Romney signs, but none touted Ryan an indication of the secrecy that surrounded the announcement. Romney initially made his revelation to supporters via a phone app Saturday morning. “Mitt’s Choice for VP is Paul Ryan,” it said and implored backers to spread the word. One campaign official said Romney had settled on

Ryan as his pick on Aug. 1, more than a week ago, and informed Beth Myers, the longtime aide who had shepherded the secretive process that led to the selection. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was unauthorized to provide details. During his formal remarks, the congressman blamed Obama for the nation’s unemployment rate that has exceeded 8 percent for more than three years, the longest run since the Great Depression. “Higher unemployment, declining incomes and crushing debt is not a new normal. It is a result of misguided policies,” Ryan said. Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee and primary author of conservative tax-and-spending blueprints that the tea party-infused Republican majority approved over Democratic opposition in 2011 and again in 2012. It envisions transforming Medicare into a program in which future seniors would receive government checks that they could use to purchase health insurance. Under the current program, the government directly pays doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. Ryan and other supporters say the change is needed to prevent the program from financial calamity. Critics argue it would impose ever-increasing costs on seniors. Other elements of the budget plan would cut prospending for jected Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, as well as food stamps, student loans and other social programs that Obama and Democrats have pledged to defend. Ryan’s budget plan died in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Evansville (Ind.) Courier & Press on jobs and the economy: How you view July’s unemployment figures depends on where you sit. President Barack Obama’s chief economic adviser, Alan Krueger, said “today’s unemployment rate provides further evidence that the U.S. economy is continuing to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression.” He urged the country to stand by the president’s economic agenda and for Congress to pass the remaining parts of Obama’s American Jobs Act. GOP candidate Mitt Romney called it “a hammer blow to middle class families.” His campaign website makes the extravagant claim that a Romney administration would create 12 million new jobs in four years. (Even Obama, no stranger to hyperbole, only promised 5 million new “green” jobs when he was a candidate.) The Associated Press offered only the faint observation that the new jobless numbers were “a hopeful sign.” — hopeful, perhaps, in the sense that they were much better than expected, although still weak, and they could have been worse. This kind of incremental, ambiguous improvement in the economy looks to be with us through the election campaign and that will be the battleground for the candidates. Obama’s economic policies are a known quantity. Romney’s economic platform is a detail-free promise to revive the country through tax and regulatory reform and basically undoing, usually on “Day One,” everything Obama has done since taking office. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed 36 percent of voters believe Romney has a better plan for the economy versus 31 percent who think Obama’s policies are better. It all depends on where you sit, and from this vantage point it looks like about two-thirds of the voters don’t believe either one. The Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail on the U.S. power grid: Everybody and his brother — the Sierra Club, the natural gas industry, the solar industry, the wind industry, President Barack Obama and Lisa Jackson of the EPA — want to design the nation’s energy mix and the nation’s electrical system. This is dangerous. The nation needs a reliable, affordable energy supply and a tough electrical grid. It’s time Americans listened to the engineers. As The Washington Post reported, the super-derecho storm of June 29 was just the latest indication of how badly the nation needs to pay attention to its electrical grid. The system is old, stretched to capacity and failing. India’s failure to keep its system up to date resulted in more than half a billion customers losing power. It would be wise, politically, to make sure that does not happen to Americans. The American Society of Civil Engineers reported that Americans need to spend $107 billion by 2020 to modernize their electrical infrastructure. The federal government throws around that kind of money on noncritical projects. It’s time for Congress to get this much more important work started. After all, politicizing energy and failing to make critical investments would be expensive as well. “By 2020, the cost of service interruptions will be $71 billion, or if you break that down to households, $565 over that period,” the engineering society’s president, Andrew W. Hermann, told the Post. Americans will not take kindly to games that affect their jobs and their security at home. Politicians should not risk it.

THEY SAID IT “After high school, I took the National Guard route because it had the most options, at least, that’s what I was told. Honestly, there was no doubt I was going to be in the military — the only doubt was it going to be Army or Marines.” — Covington High School graduate Jordan Tebbe, on joining the armed forces “More than 75 percent of people that have attended these types of events felt more comfortable in their community and when reporting crimes.” — Former Miami County Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Welbaum, on Troy’s National Night Out “He will be greatly missed. He was a great teacher and always had a smile on his face. He talked strongly about his family and his faith and his love for kids.” — Upper Valley Career Center executive director Jason Haak, on Dave Stace, the UVCC teacher who died tragically after a 70-foot fall while hiking at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia

NBC could have taken a cue from NASA Millions and millions and millions of miles through space? No problem. Across one little pond, though? Nah. We can’t handle that. I guess that’s the difference between NASA and NBC. One cares so much that it is willing to show off exactly what humans can do for nothing. The other just selfishly wants to cash in on it. NBC has caught no end of grief — and deservedly so — for its multitude of failures after winning exclusive rights to cover the 2012 London Olympic Games. From tape delays, to creative editing, to buffering issues with its pathetic attempts at streaming events live online, to offending everyone and everything from female athletes to the host country itself, it’s clear that not only is NBC still living in the 1980s, it wishes we all were, too. Meanwhile, NASA landed the Curiosity rover — a nuclear-powered, remote-controlled science laboratory of a car worth billions of dollars and weighing more than a ton — on Mars. And streamed the whole thing live online for free over any Internet-capable device. The landing was a dangerous one — it had to be dropped down to the Red Planet via a massive parachute with engines called a sky crane rather than using the airbags past rovers had used — and there

Had we hosted the games and put together a tribute for 9-11 victims and some foreign country edited it out because it wasn’t tailored to their audience, we would have gone absolutely ballistic — and rightfully so. NBC’s coverage of the Olympics have been an embarrassment to the U.S. media — and America as a whole — from start to finish. Instead of respecting its viewers and giving them the option to watch events when and how they want to, NBC has railroaded them into watching on TV in primetime — when they can charge the most for advertising dollars. Meanwhile, Curiosity’s genuinely drama-filled — and successful — landing was watched live online by 3.2 million people (including my wife and I), which is a HUGE audience for online video. And NASA gave it all to us for free and, best of all, free of advertising. In this case, Curiosity killed the Peacock. TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays. The only Olympics he watched were aired by the BBC — a network that knows how to cover worldwide events properly.

Ohio State study shows Amish population booming KENTON (AP) — The bustling produce auction that drew hundreds of people to a spot in the middle of nowhere yesterday is a business born of necessity. The Amish population, which a new study says is growing in this country at an unexpected rate, is diversifying. It has to, its leaders say, as the number of families in the religion grows and they search for new places to build homes and more ways to earn a living. The Scioto Valley Produce Auction, which is held by the Amish in Hardin County every Tuesday and Friday through the summer, is a way for families to make do with less acreage and still produce a for-profit crop. “The land was getting high-priced and, as we grow, more was harder to come by,” said Daniel Bontrager, a bishop in his community and an authority figure in the Hardin County settlement of 200 or so Amish families. “The young people needed something to do, and we’d rather all stay here together and stay close. The auction helps us do that.” This is the auction’s second summer, and its hundreds of non-Amish customers come from several counties away each week. An Ohio State University study released this month shows that the North American Amish numbers are doubling every 22 years, a staggering growth that even researchers didn’t expect. In January 1990, there were an estimated 179 Amish settlements in the United States; this year there are 456 settlements with about 251,000 people. The most recent count

includes Ontario, Canada, because of its proximity to a New York region heavily populated by Amish. The researchers predict that if this pace continues, the Amish population could reach 1 million by mid-century. And Holmes County, in northeastern Ohio, could in the next 20 years become the first county in the United States to have more Amish than English (the common term for their nonAmish neighbors). “For the past 10 years, I have told myself that they can’t keep growing at the pace they are,” said Joseph Donnermeyer, a rural sociology professor at OSU who led the Amish census project as part of a larger study on religions. “I’ve been wrong every single year.” Church districts (each one overseen by a bishop, and usually with 20 or 25 families to a district) are the center of Amish communities. To estimate the population of the Old Order Amish — the most traditional, horse-and-buggy kind that forgoes modern technology — Donnermeyer and his fellow researchers studied directories published in the districts. “In Holmes County, there’s a directory that looks like the yellow pages for New York City, it’s so large,” Donnermeyer said. They also relied on information in the country’s three major Amish newspapers and magazines. Among the findings: The Greater Holmes County Amish settlement, which sprawls across Ashland, Coshocton, Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties, is the

largest, with nearly 30,000 members. Ohio is home to the most Amish community members (60,233), topping Pennsylvania (59,078). The shift from farm jobs to construction and other trade work hasn’t shrunk family size, as it has historically in other groups. Only about 17 percent of the Amish men are farmers today, compared with 75 percent 40 years ago, yet the growth still occurred. In Hardin County, though, that latter figure doesn’t hold true. The Amish men still largely work at home there, whether farming or running their own sawmills or shops, and they want to keep it that way, Bontrager said. The bishop said he didn’t need a study to tell him his community is growing. Thirty years ago, there were four church districts in his community; today there are eight. Donnermeyer said the explanation is fairly simple: The Amish still have big families. Contraception is against their religion, and children are considered blessings. Their children also tend not to leave. More than 85 percent of the children raised in Amish settlements stay as adults. But they are on the move, because almost all are in search of land, said Ben Borntreger, who is one of a half-dozen or so Amish men in charge of the produce auction. “Used to be, we needed a 100-acre farm, but you can’t find it or afford it today,” Borntreger said. “Switching to produce, now a family can do that on 10 acres.”

Meyer looking for game-breaker at OSU COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer won two national titles at Florida by spreading the field and getting the ball into the hands of a quick, strong, game-breaker. Now the most sought-after coach in college football has taken his act up to NCAA-sanctioned Ohio State and the Big Ten, a team without the jawdropping playmakers Meyer had with the Gators. Don’t expect him to change a thing. “Sure. I just hope someone steps up to take one of those positions that we need,” he said after a recent practice when

asked if he can do with the Buckeyes what he did on offense at Florida. “The answer is yes.” Meyer’s arrival at Ohio State would have been the sport’s biggest story line headed into this season if no one had ever heard the name Jerry Sandusky. Out of coaching for a year because of health problems and stress, Meyer was lured back to his home state after former coach Jim Tressel got deposed for hiding that players were trading Ohio State memorabilia for cash and tattoos with a suspected drug dealer.

The Buckeyes will sit out a bowl this season as a result of the scandal, but Meyer isn’t waiting to put his stamp on the program. The secret is finding the new Percy Harvin, the former Gators and now Minnesota Vikings star. Meyer used him at Florida at tailback, in the slot, out wide, at tight end — even taking snaps at quarterback. Ohio State saw him at his best up close and personal in the 2007 BCS national championship game when Meyer’s offense befuddled the Buckeyes in a laughably lopsided 41-14 rout.

Ever since that painful but perhaps instructive loss in the Arizona desert, Ohio State has longed for a quick-strike offense like Meyer’s. Now they have the man with the plan. The Buckeyes just need some players to run it. Meyer spent all of spring practice trying to find a speedy player he could put in the open field who could make an opposing team pay for a missed tackle. The first few days of learning the new offense he said were a “clown show,” with linemen running into each other, backs going the wrong way,

CHICAGO (AP) — Ryan Ludwick has hit like Joey Votto the past three weeks. With Votto hurt the last three weeks, Ludwick continued a torrid month with a two-run double in the eighth and the Cincinnati Reds rallied to a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs Saturday afternoon. After Drew Stubbs doubled and Brandon Phillips singled off Cubs reliever James Russell (51), Ludwick looped a pitch down the left-field line and into the corner. The comeback made a winner of Bronson Arroyo (8-7), who held the Cubs to two runs and five hits over eight innings. Arroyo gave up both runs early, but settled down to improve to 5-0 in his last seven starts at Wrigley Field. “With a runner on third, especially when I got to two strikes, I was just trying to put the ball in play,” Ludwick said. “I didn’t want to strike out and obviously I was fortunate enough to hit the double and get two (runs) instead of one. “Big hit being able to get Bronson a win and win two in a row after losing those five.” Ludwick has driven in 28 runs since the All-Star break to go along with eight home runs. “He’s deserved everything he’s gotten,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Once a veteran guy gets his stroke, once his confidence level is high, he can continue that for an extended period of time.” Reds closer Aroldis Chapman continued his recent dominance by setting down three straight in the ninth and converting his 27th save, including his last 19 straight. Chapman last blew a save on June 24, he’s thrown 20 2-3 scoreless innings and struck out 44. Before the game, the Reds announced Votto had flown from Chicago to Cincinnati Friday

Krzyzewski set to lead U.S. one last time LONDON (AP) — Mike Krzyzewski's job is nearly finished. Seven years after taking over a U.S. team that had been stripped of its power and grip on Olympic basketball, Krzyzewski is down to one more game. But before his players take the court today against Spain, he'll do what he always does. He will remind them to talk on defense. Share the ball. Play with pride. Represent their families and country with honor. When it ends, before he takes his own final bow, he'll also remind them to accept their medals with humility. The game against Spain is a rematch of the gold-medal

game four years ago in China won by the Americans. Win, and Krzyzewski walks away with an unmatched legacy.

Coach K ■ CONTINUED FROM A7

"He's said this is it and I'll respect his choice," Colangelo said. "But knowing me as I know me, I'll have that conversation and we'll see." If this is indeed his last game, the 65-year-old Krzyzewski will leave having met every expectation. a win, With Krzyzewski will join Henry Iba (1964 and

1968) as the only U.S. coaches to lead teams to consecutive Olympic gold medals. However, Iba, for all his successes, didn't have to worry about convincing NBA superstars to buy into his program, juggle the demands of coaching one of the nation's top college teams or compete with an international basketball community filled with talented players. Krzyzewski's selection

as national coach in 2005 was viewed as risky by some. There were doubts if the Duke coach would be able to get the top pros — players accustomed to always getting their way — to accept a team-first concept. And, with a limited time to get them ready, could he get them to learn the more fluid international game. With one gold medal — maybe a second — and a

world championship on his resume since 2010, Krzyzewski has succeeded on every level. "He's been able to build kind of a blueprint, a model, for future coaches in terms of how they deal with players," said Kobe Bryant, one of five holdovers from the 2008 gold medal winner. "In terms of scheduling, in terms of commitment, he's kind of established the

mold for the next coach. "His ability to communicate with players individually has been fantastic. His ability to constantly keep things fresh and motivate, that's something that we've appreciated." If Colangelo's the architect of the U.S. program's reconstruction, Krzyzewski's the general contractor. He's built it back to

where it was in 2000, when the U.S. won its third straight gold at the Sydney Games. Then came 2004, when the Americans, coached by Larry Browns, lost three games in Greece and settled for bronze, finishing Italy and behind Argentina. The result was shocking. "We were garbage," Carmelo Anthony said recently.

Troy’s Kurtis Johnson tries to ward off defenders during a scrimmage Saturday.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 Memorial Stadium. “I’ll go home, kiss my girls goodnight, then we’ll get right back at it, breaking down the film.” The film should give the Trojans plenty to work on this week in practice as they prepare for their next scrimmage Friday against Dunbar and, ultimately, on Aug. 24 when Troy opens the regular season at home against Chaminade Julienne. During the 10-play scripted portion of the scrimmage — in which each team was allowed to run 10 plays, regardless of down and distance — Troy and Reynoldsburg each exchanged touchdowns. Troy’s score came on a 74yard run by senior Blake Williams, while Reynoldsburg scored on a 40-yard touchdown run. During the “live” portion of the scrimmage — in which down and distance were kept — Reynoldsburg outscored Troy 3-1. The Raiders scored on a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown, another long touchdown pass and a short touchdown run. Troy’s lone score during the live portion came on the scrimmage’s final play when junior tailback Miles Hibbler broke a 70-yard touchdown run. Even on that play, however, Hibbler appeared to have tweaked his hamstring and came up limping. “It’s kind of funny, I spent the entire scrimmage trying to protect those two backs (Hibbler and senior Fred Whitson), then on the final play, he hurts his hamstring,” Brewer said. “But he’ll be OK.” Offensively, the Trojans did have some bright spots — quarterback Matt Barr hooked up with receiver

Kurtis Johnson on a several long passing plays and Hibbler and Whitson, along with Williams, had a number of nifty runs — but had several drives stall in Raider territory. Brewer was pleased with the way his depleted offensive line — the Trojans essentially played the same five offensive linemen the entire scrimmage due to depth issues — played in the scrimmage. “Our offensive line did a great job,” Brewer said. “There are some things on the back side we need to clean up, but our protection was good.” Defensively, Troy got burned several times by big plays, but also forced three turnovers and had a goalline stand at the end of the scrimmage, which set up Hibbler’s touchdown run. After losing seven starters on each side of the ball from a team that went to the Division I, Region 3 playoffs each of the last two years, Brewer knew going in Saturday he would have to get a look at a lot of new faces Saturday. In that regard, the scrimmage was a success. “We did a lot of good things,” he said. “You have to remember, we moved a lot of guys around and put them in a lot of different places. This is what scrimmages are for. They don’t count.” In that regard, Brewer said, the Trojans got exactly what they needed from Saturday’s scrimmage. “We’ll learn a lot from this tape,” Brewer said. “You try to put everything out there — it’s all a part of the learning process. Mondaywe’ll have a couple of fixes to make here and there,” Brewer said. All in a day’s work.

Yankees’ Sabathia lands on DL TORONTO (AP) — CC Sabathia was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with inflammation and pain in his left elbow, the New York Yankees ace’s second trip to the DL this season. Manager Joe Girardi announced the decision after New York beat the Blue Jays 5-2 for their fourth straight win. Neither a corresponding roster

move, nor a starter for Monday’s game against Texas, has been announced. The move is retroactive to Aug. 9. The Yankees have agreed to a contract with free agent Derek Lowe and are planning to finalize the deal and activate him Monday. The right-hander, recently cut by the Cleveland Indians, likely will pitch out of the bullpen. David Phelps is a

candidate to take Sabathia’s spot in the rotation. Girardi said Sabathia, the 2007 AL Cy Young award winner, felt stiff two days after his Aug. 3 start against Seattle but an MRI showed nothing. Sabathia felt stiff again after pitching at Detroit on Aug. 8. He threw on flat ground Friday rather than throwing his regular bullpen session and continued to experience

mild discomfort. “It’s not any worse than it was after the first start, but our concern is it didn’t go away,” Girardi said. “As far as the concern, it’s pretty low level, because it’s not like it got any worse,” Girardi added. “He wants to pitch on Monday, which I’m not surprised (at) because he said he dealt with it before. We just decided, let’s try to get it cleaned up now.”

Despite his recent struggles, Wood was sharp in his first appearance against his former team. He was dealt to the Cubs during the offseason for LHP Sean Marshall after going 11-10 over two seasons with Cincinnati. The only run against Wood came in the fourth on an RBI double by Frazier.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Brent Lillibridge homered, drove in two runs and scored on a squeeze bunt to back Zack McAllister’s strong pitching as the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Saturday night. Lillibridge, acquired on July 24 from Boston, tied a career high with three hits. He hit his first homer in nearly a year and had an RBI single off Franklin Morales (3-2). McAllister (5-4) allowed three hits, including a tworun double by Adrian Gonzalez, in a career-high eight innings. Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 31st save in 35 chances for Cleveland, 3-1 since an 11-game losing streak. Boston has lost eight of 11. All three hits allowed by McAllister were doubles. The right-hander struck out four without issuing a walk. Michael Brantley’s sacrifice fly broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth. Lillibridge, acquired from Boston for minor league pitcher Jose De La Torre, put Cleveland ahead 1-0 by driving Morales’ pitch into the left-field seats for his first homer since Aug. 31, 2011, when he was with the Chicago White Sox. Chicago had traded him to Boston on June 24 in the deal for Kevin Youkilis. Lillibridge raised his average 21 points to .202 and doubled his season RBI total to four. He also was involved in three odd plays in the field in the fourth inning as Boston went ahead 2-1. After Jacoby Ellsbury

The Reds don’t expect him back until mid-August now. “I think everyone in here is praying and wishing he can get back as soon as possible because we definitely need him on our team, but I think some of the guys have taken it as a challenge to pick one another up,” Ludwick said. Wilson Valdez’s RBI single scored Chris Heisey as the Reds tacked on a run to complete their three-run, eighth-inning

rally. Todd Frazier drove in a run and reached base three times. Cubs starter Travis Wood held Cincinnati to five hits and matched a career-high with eight strikeouts but finished with a no decision despite leaving with a 2-1 lead. Wood had posted an 8.78 ERA in losing his previous five starts. David DeJesus provided the offense for Chicago, stroking a twoout, two run single off Arroyo in the second inning.

Total domination U.S. throttles France for 5th straight gold medal LONDON (AP) — The names change, not the results. Just call the U.S. women’s basketball team Olympic champion. The Americans won their fifth straight gold medal Saturday, routing France 86-50 and putting more distance between themselves and the rest of the world heading to Rio for the 2016 Games. Candace Parker scored 21 points, including eight straight during the game-changing run in the second quarter as the U.S. won its 41st straight Olympic game since taking bronze medal in 1992. In that stretch, the Americans have won by nearly 30 points a game. Only one team has stayed within single digits of them, and they’ve lost just once in major international competitions, to Russia in the semifinals of the 2006 world championship. Teresa Edwards, Dawn Staley, Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie got the amazing run started and now Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Tamika Catchings have continued it. With young stars Parker, Maya Moore and Tina Charles a big part of

the success in London it doesn’t look like the run will end anytime soon. Tamika Catchings said the Americans “just wanted to keep that legacy going.” Edwards, a five-time Olympian, said no worry there. “The legacy is real,” said Edwards, who had a front-row seat Saturday night. “What these kids have been doing is amazing. Without much time to practice. In the middle of the WNBA season. And they look good. It’s like the whole world knows who we are. I’m really proud of them. “They’re definitely among some of the best” U.S. teams. The U.S. faced its only challenge of the London Games when Australia took a four-point halftime lead. It was the first time in 12 years that the Americans had been trailing at the half. There was no panic or worry. They just stepped up their defense and vanquished the Australians, winning by 13 points. “It’s not easy to just be put together and be expected to win a gold medal,” Taurasi said. “It’s a special feeling.”

France, which came into the gold medal game unbeaten, stayed with the U.S. for the first 12 minutes before Parker took over. She scored eight straight points during a 13-2 run that gave the U.S. a 37-23 advantage. Twice the 6-foot-4 Parker grabbed the rebound on the defensive end and dribble up through the defense scoring on the other. While Parker who also had 11 rebounds was providing the offense, the Americans turned up their defense, holding France to just one basket over the final 7:25 of the half. “We always felt like as long as we played our best … we’d be all right,” Bird said. The U.S. led by 12 at the half and poured it on in the third quarter. France was able to get within 41-31 but the U.S. ended the French’s hope of the monumental upset, scoring 13 of the next 14 points. On one sequence, Catchings got a steal, passed it to Bird, who hit Moore in perfect stride for a fingerroll lay-in down the lane. It only got worse from there for France, which was making its Olympic debut.

LONDON (AP) — Swimming, track and field, basketball, women’s soccer, Serena Williams and Aly Raisman. They all found their way onto U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Larry Probst’s highlight list from the London Games. “I like to hear ‘The StarSpangled Banner’ — a lot,” Probst said. Good thing, because the U.S. national anthem has blared more than any other in London over these last two weeks, and that won’t change before the Olympic flame is extinguished tonight. With one day left, the U.S. has locked up the overall medals race over China, and continue to be holding off the Chinese in the chase to win the most gold medals. It will be the fifth straight Summer Games where U.S. athletes took home more prizes than anyone else from an Olympics. “The Olympic motto is faster, higher, stronger. And I think that every American came here to do that,” U.S. judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison said Saturday. “Not necessarily fastest, highest, strongest, but I came here to perform at my very, very best and make America proud as a result.” She wasn’t alone. Through Saturday’s medal events, U.S. Olympians in London had claimed 102 medals, 15 more than the Chinese. Americans were also leading the goldmedal chase over China, 4438. American swimmers won 31 medals. Track and field now has 29, one marathon medal today away from getting to 30 — a goal that seemed farfetched to some in the U.S. Olympic movement not long ago. Gabby Douglas won the women’s all-around competition in gymnastics, Raisman left that venue with three medals and Williams won Olympic gold at Wimbledon over Maria Sharapova in what Probst said was “the most dominating performance I have ever seen by a female tennis player, ever.”

Boudia Bolt, Felix each pick up 3rd gold medals captures diving gold LONDON (AP — David Boudia used to be scared to dive off the 10-meter platform. Yet when it counted the most, he never flinched. The American plunged off the 33-foot tower, somersaulting and twisting over and over on his last dive to win an Olympic gold medal by 1.80 points over Qiu Bo of China on Saturday night in the closest men’s platform contest since 1988. Boudia’s victory gave the U.S. its first gold in diving since 2000, and was the first by an American man since the late Mark Lenzi won the 3-meter springboard at the 1992 Barcelona Games. “Oh, my God, I don’t have words for it,” said Greg Louganis, the diving great who swept the springboard and platform events at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics and who has mentored Boudia. On the medals stand, Boudia wiped his brow as if to say, “Whew!” It was that close. The American scored 568.65 points in the sixdive final after barely making it out of the preliminary rounds.

LONDON (AP) — Be it a gold medal or a souvenir from a record relay run, Usain Bolt always gets what he wants at the Olympics. The Jamaican will leave London a perfect 3 for 3 three events, three victories just the way he departed Beijing four years ago. Almost even with the last U.S. runner when he got the baton for the anchor leg of the 4x100 meters, Bolt steadily pulled away down the stretch, gritting his teeth and leaning at the line to cap his perfect Summer Games by leading Jamaica to victory in a world-record 36.84 seconds Saturday night. “A wonderful end to a wonderful week,” Bolt said. “What else do I need to do to prove myself as a legend?” After crossing the line, he pleaded with an official to let him keep the yellow baton he was clutching. Told he’d be disqualified if he didn’t hand it over, Bolt complied, and some nearby spectators booed. About 40 minutes later, that same official approached Bolt and returned the stick. Bolt responded with a bow of thanks and a chuckle, kissed the baton and then asked his teammates to autograph it. One more possession to help him remember his performances at 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, where any mention of Bolt’s name drew raucous cheers, countless camera flashes and chants of “Usain!” or “We want Bolt!” He reiterated that this

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt celebrates his win in the men's 4 x 100-meter relay final during the athletics in the Olympic Stadium at the 2012 Summer Olympics Saturday in London. Jamaica set a new world record with a time of 36.84 seconds. could be it for him on track and field’s biggest stage. Bolt turns 26 on Aug. 21, and refuses to commit to showing up at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. “It’s going to be hard to really do that. I’ve done all I want to do,” said Bolt, noting that he planned to go out on the town Saturday night. “I’ve got no more goals.” Bolt added the relay gold to the ones he earned in the 100 in 9.63 seconds last Sunday the second-fastest time in history and the 200 in 19.32 on Thursday. The runner-up in both individual sprints, Bolt’s pal and training partner Yohan Blake, ran the third leg of the relay, following Nesta Carter and Michael Frater. The U.S. quartet of Trell Kimmons, 100 bronze medalist Justin Gatlin,

Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey got the silver in 37.04, equaling the old record that Bolt helped set at last year’s world championships. Trinidad & Tobago took the bronze in 38.12. Canada, which was third across the line, was disqualified for running outside its lane, and its appeal was rejected. As Blake and Gay rounded the race’s final curve, they were pretty much in sync, stride for stride. But when that duo was done, the relay came down to Bolt vs. Bailey, who was fifth in the 100 meters in 9.88. Really not a fair matchup. “It was over from there,” Blake said. Sure was. After transferring the baton from his left hand to his right, the 6-foot-5 Bolt

churned up the track with his long-as-can-be strides, and Bailey had no chance to keep up. “Wow,” Bailey said. “He’s a monster.” Bolt kept adding to his lead and actually spared his now-customary showboating at the finish, instead driving through the line on a windy, chilly night (with the temperature hovering around 60 degrees (15 C), he was wearing black gloves and a black wool cap before the race). “He was basically the difference in the race. It was even all the way around,” Gay said. “When he got the stick, there was nothing we could do about it.” After seeing the record time, Bolt began to celebrate, something he relishes as much as running, it seems. He mugged for the cameras with Blake, each doing a signature pose. Bolt did his “To the World” move, where he leans back and points to the sky. Blake curled his hands as if they were claws while making a scary face to match the nickname Bolt gave him, “The Beast.” “We are not human. … We drop from space,” joked Blake, who said a woman ran up and kissed him on the cheek after the race. Bolt yanked off his white spikes and danced barefoot to the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” as it played on the arena’s loudspeakers. Later, wearing his latest gold medal, Bolt waved his fingers toward the stands, trying to get fans to

do the wave. They did, of course. Loud as the appreciation of Bolt was, it wasn’t as deafening as the roar earlier in the evening for British runner Mo Farah, who won the 5,000 meters in 13 minutes, 41.66 seconds to add that gold to last Saturday’s in the 10,000. In his own bit of Boltesque showmanship, Farah plopped down on his back and did a few situps. On the last night of track and field action at the stadium — the final event — the men’s marathon will be run through the city’s streets today other golds went to the United States in the women’s 4x400-meter relay; Anna Chicherova of Russia in the women’s high jump; Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago in the men’s javelin; and Mariya Savinova of Russia in the women’s 800, with Caster Semenya of South Africa getting the silver three years after being forced to take gender tests. The U.S. victory in the 4x400-meter relay allowed Allyson Felix to collect her third gold medal, after those in the 200 and the 4x100. She’s the first American woman with three track golds at a single Olympics since 1988, when Florence Griffith-Joyner won the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay. “To have all this happen,” Felix said, “to really accomplish every goal that I set out, is such a blessing.” Imagine how Bolt feels.

McIlroy, Singh on top in rain-delayed PGA KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Tiger Woods watched the flight of his tee shot until he could see it drifting too far right, and he hung his head slightly as the ball tumbled off the green. Already with three bogeys in seven holes, it looked as though nothing was going right for him in the PGA Championship. Dark clouds seem to have followed Woods on the weekend at majors this year. On Saturday at Kiawah Island, they might have saved him. Facing a 7-foot putt to avoid another bogey, the darkening sky crackled with thunder and play was suspended with 26 players having to return for a marathon finish today. That might be good news for Woods, not so much for Rory McIlroy. McIlroy raced to the top of the leaderboard, and not even a tee shot that lodged into a tree on the third hole could slow him. Once he finally found it stuck in a rotted section of a thick limb, he took a penalty drop and drilled his wedge to 6 feet to save par. He went out in 32 after a bogey on the ninth hole and was at 6-under par, tied with Vijay Singh, who was on the par-3 eighth hole. “It’s nice going into the final day hopefully, if we get it finished in a great position,” McIlroy said. “And it being 27 holes, I definitely don’t mind. I don’t mind if it takes a while to get done.” Singh started and finished his short day with birdies an 18-foot putt on the first, and a 25-foot putt on the par-5 seventh. Right behind was Adam Scott, showing more magic than hangover from his British Open collapse last month. Scott was three shots out of the lead when the third round began and cruising along with pars until four birdies on the last five holes of the front nine. That stretch began with a shot he holed from a sandy area on the par-3 fifth, and it ended with a 45-foot birdie putt across the green on the ninth. “Right now I am in good position,” Scott said. “Unfortunate not to continue because I was on a little bit of a run.

Rory McIlroy finds his ball lodged in a tree on the third hole during the third round of the PGA Championship golf tournament on the Ocean Course of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort on Saturday in Kiawah Island, S.C. disappointed to see the windswept third round end were the players who had already finished Bo Van Pelt (67) at 3-under 213, Steve Stricker (67) at 2-under 214, Padraig Harrington (69) another shot behind. And Woods. “I got off to a rough start today and couldn’t get anything going,” Woods said through a spokesman. “I’ll come back tomorrow morning and see what happens. There are a lot of holes left to play.”

He failed to birdie the par-5 second hole when he tugged his approach into the back bunker and only blasted out to 20 feet. The real damage came on the third hole, the one that saved McIlroy. Woods hit a wedge into 4 feet, and his birdie putt raced by the edge of the cup. It unraveled after that. He hit a spectator with his tee shot at No. 4, signing a glove for the fan, went over the green and muffed a difficult chip. Woods had to make a 4foot bogey putt, and then

hit another low hook that led to bogey on the fifth. He started the third round tied for the lead with Singh and Carl Pettersson at 4-under 140. Seven holes into the third round, Woods already was five shots behind. It was starting to look familiar to Woods, who has yet to break par on the weekend at a major this year. This was the second time this year Woods had a share of the 36-hole lead going into weekend at the majors. He is 13-over par in his

six weekend rounds at majors, including a 75-73 finish at Olympic Club to go from a tie for the lead to a tie for 21st in the U.S. Open. The 26 players who didn’t finish the round will return this morning. The final round was to be played in threesomes of both tees, rare for a major championship. Singh, the 49-year-old who has not been in contention at a major in six years, opened with a 15foot birdie putt and made a strong recovery from trouble on the par-5 seventh by making a 25-foot putt to join McIlroy atop the leaderboard. Pettersson was at 4 under through eight holes. Stopping play might be the best thing that happened to Woods and a tough break for those who finished. “You never know what the weather will be like when they go back out,” said Van Pelt, the clubhouse leader. “So they might get the good end of it or the bad end of it. To me, just glad to be done. I did what I could do, and I’m sure before I go to bed tonight I’ll know kind of where I stand going into tomorrow.” Not really. It’s the first time since 2008 that the PGA Championship didn’t complete three rounds on Saturday. Some players had to go 36 holes on the final day that year, and Padraig Harrington wound up winning his second straight major. “Unfortunately, the weather gods turned against us today,” said Kerry Haigh, the PGA’s managing director of championships. Harrington might be in the picture again, depending on how the rest of the field fares this morning. He was 4 under on his round until a double bogey on the 10th hole, though that was his only big mistakes and he wound up with a 69. Harrington was at 1under 215. “I would rather it just stayed the way it was,” Harrington said about the weather. “Who knows what’s going to happen now? … It could be a good break, but it could be a bad break. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all pans out. But would have settled for the guys to play the same conditions

we played and have them play the back nine in the wind, because the back nine was a lot tougher than the front nine.” McIlroy opened with a 15-foot birdie putt, followed with a long twoputt birdie on the par-5 second, and then the adventure began. His tee shot dropped out of the sky and into a crevice in the thick limb that appeared to be dying. “I know the line of the ball was right on the tree,” McIlroy said. “We’d been looking for it for maybe about three minutes and then one of the guys that was working for TV came over and said, ‘You know, it’s actually stuck in the tree.’ I’m like, ‘How can it be stuck in this thing? There’s no branches, no leaves for it to be stuck in. But it had wedged itself in between the tree bark and the actual tree. “I was just happy to get it up-and-down for 4 and move on to the next,” McIlroy said. The next hole was just as good, though not as dramatic, when he holed a 15-foot putt for par, and then he hit his tee shot to about 5 feet on the par-3 fifth hole. Stricker, trying to earn his way onto the Ryder Cup team, brought a chance at his first major championship into the picture when he ran off five birdies in a sevenhole stretch around the turn before missing a short putt on the 13th for his lone bogey. He finished with a birdie. Trevor Immelman was 3 under through 10 holes, while Graeme McDowell remains poised to contend in a third straight major. He was at 2 under through 11 holes, and then ducked into the clubhouse to avoid the pounding rain. Players checked the weather on their phones, and saw nothing but bad weather. “Disappointing,” McDowell said. “We’ve done well this week to avoid the storms that are pretty inevitable in this part of the country this time of the year.” And it was slightly disappointing to have to stop, especially for those chasing. “It was a great test of golf out there this afternoon, a nice 50 mph breeze to keep everyone honest,” he said. “We’ll see how conditions are in the morning.”

Four South Koreans hold share of lead at Farr LPGA SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — For the lead groups, the final round of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic will be just like a friendly round back home in South Korea. Oh, and give the winner a check for $195,000. South Koreans Jiyai Shin, Kim, So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo dominated the leaderboard, sharing the top spot at 11-under 202 on Saturday through the third round. Two more South Koreans, Inbee Park (69) and second-round leader Chella Choi (70), were a shot back along with Japan’s Mika Miyazato (69). Call them the Seoul sisters. “It will be really exciting Sunday,” said Kim, who will be chasing her fourth career LPGA Tour victory. “These are players that I grew up with. I know them personally and I know their family issues and all that. So, even though we’re playing in the U.S., having them around I feel much more at home.” South Koreans have not only flooded (43 of them on the roster this year) but also dominated the LPGA Tour in recent years. Still, they have seldom taken over a tournament like the one at

Highland Meadows. In addition to filling the top four spots and six of the top seven, South Korea was represented by players occupying seven of the top 11 positions and 11 of the top 25 through 54 holes. Even though they are extremely competitive, don’t expect any gamesmanship. “There are a lot of Korean players on tour,” said Shin, who has won eight times in LPGA events since 2008, including victories in the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2008 Women’s British Open. “We are very close because we came over to play in the U.S. We were homesick, missing our friends and family in Korea. And that has made us close to each other.” Shin and Kim each shot 5-under 66 for the low rounds of the day, while Ryu had a 67 and Seo a 68. The range in scores of the four leaders is a high of 69 to a low of 66. In other words, almost the perfect definition of consistency. Ryu acknowledged that, then added, “Sometimes someone is crazy and has a low score like a 61 or 62.” It’s not really surprising that the South Korean contingent is

After all, the player who is the matriarch of her country’s players on the LPGA Tour Se Ri Pak has won the Farr five times. And three other players from South Korea Mi Hyun Kim, Eunjung Yi and Na Yeon Choi also have finished

first in suburban Toledo. In fact, since Pak won her first Farr in 1998, South Koreans have walked off with the title eight of the 13 years. Shin was perhaps the brightest star on the LPGA landscape but has not won in two years due to injuries. “It’s as if I’m on my

way,” she said after her 66. “I have a little bit of pressure on myself.” Kim, who has three career LPGA Tour wins, lost to Choi in a four-person playoff at the Farr the last time it was played in 2010 (the tournament was on hiatus a year ago while the city hosted the men’s U.S.

Senior Open). “I’m in a great place, not only on the golf course,” she said. “I’m happy on and off the course. That’s really important.” Seo was the tour’s rookie of the year in 2011. She took a stab at making a humorous remark at the awards ceremony. “Everybody wants to be No. 1,” she said. “I just mentioned that I’ll be No. 1 very soon.” Tied for eighth at 8under 205 were Americans Jacqui Concolino (69) and Angela Stanford (69), along with first-round leader Pernilla Lindberg of Sweden (70) and yet another South Korean, Hee-Won Han (70). Needless to say, all eyes will be on the intrasquad scrimmage atop the leaderboard between the longtime friends, neighbors and countrywomen. “We pretty much help each other,” said Ryu, who defeated Seo in a threehole playoff at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open to earn her first and only tour victory. “If some Koreans have a winning chance, everybody will be waiting on the 18th green and everybody will congratulate the winner. Our relationship is pretty great.”

LSU goals remain unchanged after Mathieu dismissal BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — All the work Tyrann Mathieu had put into one of his biggest weakness, covering receivers one-on-one, had gotten quarterback Zach Mettenberger’s attention. “He made huge strides in being able to be a lockdown cover corner. That was a big thing he wanted to work on this offseason,” Mettenberger said, then added, “We got to look to the young guys to make plays now.” On Saturday, LSU scrimmaged without Mathieu, a 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist who was kicked off the team Friday for what was reportedly the latest of several failed drug tests since his arrival on campus in 2010. With Tharold Simon, LSU’s most experienced pass defender, lined up at one cornerback slot, Mettenberger said he didn’t

have to be told to throw in the direction of freshman cornerback Jalen Mills, who took most of the snaps Mathieu would have had with the first-team defense. “We’re going to pick on those young guys … and see how they handle the pressure,” Mettenberger said. “Mills has had a great camp so far. He’s got a lot of talent. … I’m looking for big things from him.” As for Mathieu, he’s looking for another place to play this season. He already has visited McNeese State, an FCS school in Lake Charles, La., about a 3 1/2 hour drive west on Interstate 10 from his native New Orleans. Mathieu’s departure left LSU with major voids to fill both on defense and special teams. Nicknamed the Honey Badger because of his relatively small stature (5-foot-9, 175 pounds), ferocious play and streak of

blond hair, Mathieu had a knack for causing turnovers as a blitzer and making tacklers miss as a punt returner. LSU players, including Mettenberger and veteran offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk, agreed it would be pointless to deny how good Mathieu was and how much it hurts to lose him as a playmaker and a teammate. At the same time, they stressed that great teams must be able to overcome the loss of top players. “I watched him come a long way, so losing him is going to hurt,” Dworaczyk, a sixth-year senior, said of Mathieu. “We all took it upon (ourselves) as the leadership of this team to really turn to the back of the (team meeting) room and look at the younger guys and say, ‘All right, who’s going to step up? Who’s going to be the next guy that’s going to fill in

this position?’ “We have things to do this year,” Dworaczyk continued. “Something we always do here at LSU is, through adversity, we continue to move forward.” In meetings involving both the full team and those broken down into position groups Friday evening, veteran leaders spent a good half hour or so leading discussions about the “life lessons” to be learned from Mathieu’s departure and the importance of responding with even greater purpose as the Sept. 1 season opener against North Texas approaches. Dworaczyk said the Tigers also recognize how important the rest of the team was in Mathieu’s success. “All those great (punt) returns that he had, he made a lot of special moves, but there was also 10 other

guys out there throwing blocks.” LSU was ranked No. 1 nationally in the coaches poll before Mathieu’s dismissal. The AP Top 25 Poll comes out Aug. 18. “We’re going to miss him a lot,” Mettenberger said of Mathieu, “But we’ve got to handle this adversity because this team is not a bad team even though we lost one of our best players. … We have the same goals and we’re going to look to achieve all of them.” Mettenberger said LSU players take their commitment to one another seriously, and that “a little bit of all of us feel somewhat responsible” for Mathieu’s inability to remain on the team. “But at the same time, I don’t know if I could have been a 19-year-old kid and be known nationwide as the Honey Badger,” Mettenberger said. “That’s

a lot of pressure. Hopefully he can learn from his mistakes and move forward.” Meanwhile, Miles said LSU has two leading candidate to replace Mathieu at cornerback, Mills and redshirt freshman Jalen Collins. Sophomore Odell Beckham is the leading candidate to return punts. While Saturday’s scrimmage was closed to media, Miles said Mettenberger was 15 of 30 for 190 yards, including touchdown passes of 55 and 31 yards. He also was intercepted once, by Simon. Afterward, LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo sounded confident that LSU’s defense will continue to be among the more dominant in the nation even without Mathieu’s mayhem-causing blitzes and instinctive big plays. “We’re deep with talent,” Mingo said, “So we can easily do it.”

Edwards 1st at Watkins AP PHOTO

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden (3) is stripped of the ball by Detroit Lions defensive end Willie Young (79) during an NFL preseason football game Friday in Detroit.

Browns rookies learn lessons By the Associated Press Mitchell Schwartz discovered on Friday night what all rookies learn the hard way: No matter how intense practice is, it doesn’t compare to what happens when the lights go on and there is a garlicbreathing opponent on the other side of the ball. Schwartz, the 37th pick in the April draft and the Browns’ starting right tackle from the start of spring practice in May, had no place to hide after committing errors on back-to-back plays in the first quarter. First, he drew a 5-yard penalty for a false start, making a bad situation worse by putting the Browns in a third-and-15 hole. Then he was beat by Lions defensive end Willie Young on a pass rush that contributed to Brandon Weeden being sacked and losing the ball on a fumble. It is all part of the learning experience. Weeden made it through the game without injury and in the end the Browns won on a 45-yard field goal by backup kicker Jeff Wolfert with 28 seconds to go. Schwartz wasn’t discouraged by his performance in the preseason opener, but he knows he has some work to do before the intensity kicks up another notch in the regular-season opener four weeks from Sunday. “It was my fault,” Schwartz said of the fumble while standing at his locker at Ford Field on Friday night. “The guy went inside and I just didn’t get in quick enough and take him off. “Game speed is obviously different in the NFL than it is in college. As much as you try to simulate it in practice, you don’t get the full effect of it, so it was good to get out there for the first time and see how everything works together.” The night was also a learning experience for Weeden. The Lions’ pass rush did not pull up short of sacking him, as the Browns’ pass rush does in practice. He was sacked

only once, but he played only three series, produced three first downs and no points. The Browns’ deepest penetration with Weeden at QB was the Lions’ 28 on the play before the fumble. Weeden was 3 of 9 passing for 62 yards. He was the only one of four Browns quarterbacks to throw an interception. The rookie from Oklahoma State, selected 22nd in the first round of the April draft, was picked by Dwight Bentley on a short pass intended for Greg Little on what turned out to be Weeden’s final play. Bentley almost swiped a pass from Weeden on the Browns’ second possession, but the rookie cornerback from Louisiana Lafayette did not hang on to the ball intended for Josh Gordon. “The numbers aren’t perfect, but I didn’t expect them to be,” Weeden said. “I knew I was going to make mistakes here and there, but it’s just how can we fix those mistakes and not do them again and go forward. “Greg and I had a little communication on the last play, but that happens. We’ll watch the tape and learn. That’s why we play these games. But overall I’m upbeat. The plays we did make that were good were positive plays. You have to build off those.” Colt McCoy (110.4), Thad Lewis (101.0) and Seneca Wallace (100.2) all had passer ratings over 100. Weeden’s passer rating was 19.0. But anyone who is wondering whether Coach Pat Shurmur is rethinking his plan to make Weeden the starter can forget it. “I thought Brandon did a good job,” Shurmur said. I think he would want that one back on the interception. It was in tight coverage. The ball was a pretty good ball, and we’ve got to make that play. I think for the most part, he executed in a way that I thought he would.” Weeden said the fumble and interception were painful reminders about how important each NFL possession is.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — When push came to shove, Carl Edwards got the best of Brad Keselowski. Edwards, making his first Nationwide start of the season, beat Keselowski on a two-lap dash to the checkered flag on Saturday and won the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International. Austin Dillon’s blown right front tire brought out the final stoppage of the 82lap race around the 11-turn, 2.45-mile layout, and Edwards beat his long-time nemesis on a restart for the second straight time in the race. It was the 38th career victory for Edwards, breaking a tie with Kevin Harvick for third on the career series list. “This is huge for us,” Edwards said after making his celebratory back flip. “This win means a lot.” Pole-sitter Sam Hornish Jr. finished third, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Ron Fellows. Despite a spirited drive from the back of the field, Kyle Busch faded late and finished sixth in his No. 54 Toyota. Elliott Sadler finished 12th and holds a 13-point lead over Stenhouse in the standings. Edwards pulled away on the final restart speeding up through the esses before Keselowski began to close. Edwards missed a shift and Keselowski’s Dodge pulled alongside Edwards’ No. 60 Ford as the two banged in the turn at the top of the front straightaway heading to take the white flag. Edwards then pulled ahead and sped away to a 1.1-second triumph. “He came up the track

Carl Edwards does a back flip off his car after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series auto race at Watkins Glen International Saturday in Watkins Glen, N.Y. and hit me, put me in the wall there,” Keselowski said. “That kind of took away all of my momentum. I didn’t have a chance after that.” The two had passed each other for the final lead change in a race six times, with Keselowski getting the better of Edwards four times before Saturday. Keselowski, who watched last year’s race from the television booth with a broken left ankle and bruised back, started fourth and showed right away he’d be a factor. He took the lead in the chicane on lap 12 from teammate Hornish, outbraking him entering the quick four-turn section. A crash entering the chicane involving Cole Whitt and Victor Gonzalez Jr. had forced the previous stop-

page on lap 70. The race restarted with 10 laps to go with Keselowski and Edwards on the front row. Keselowski couldn’t as Edwards took the lead with a powerful pass to the outside going uphill through the esses. Busch, battling shifter and throttle problems, dropped to sixth on lap 76. Danica Patrick, who had a strong run at Road America in the first road course of the season before getting wrecked by Jacques Villeneuve and finishing 12th, didn’t even get the chance to race in her first NASCAR start at The Glen. She was taken out on the first turn of the first lap by Ryan Truex. • Montoya Wins Pole WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Juan Pablo Montoya has

won the Sprint Cup pole for the Finger Lakes 355 at Watkins Glen International. Montoya turned a lap around the 11-turn, 2.45mile layout in 69.438 seconds at 127.020 mph to eclipse the track record of 69.767 seconds at 126.421 mph set a year ago by Kyle Busch. It’s Montoya’s second straight pole and ninth of his career. Busch qualified second, also eclipsing the track record. Jimmie Johnson qualified third, followed by Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose. Ryan Newman, five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Truex Jr. and Jamie McMurray rounded out the top 10. Points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualified 16th.

in his bare feet in late June when he stepped on some glass, severing a tendon in his right foot. He underwent surgery and is making progress, but likely won’t be available to play until late September. Of course, quarterback Braxton Miller will initiate the offense. Even though he is a shifty runner, he is too valuable to the Buckeyes to take a whole lot of hits. Meyer’s attack has been at its best with a mobile quarterback — Alex Smith at Utah, Chris Leak and Tim Tebow at Florida — who can run when needed but who can get the ball in open space to his receivers. So Meyer continues to seek someone who can be both a deep threat and dangerous on the bubble screen. Receivers Devin Smith and Evan Spencer have the speed but so far haven’t taken the next step. Running back Carlos Hyde is quick — for a 235pounder. He doesn’t fit the

mold of the tall, lithe Harvin or Utah’s Paris Warren, versatile players who could sidestep a tackler or beat a defender off the snap. They were also stellar receivers, in addition to being fast. Hyde, used mostly as a battering ram out of the backfield, caught all of 10 passes a year ago. There are other candidates out wide, including Corey Brown and Devin Smith. Although it’s difficult to compare preseasons, many observers say Meyer’s presence has added a tad more intensity this year. He has stressed one-on-one drills, playing beyond the whistle and lots and lots of competition — in almost everything the team does. The fundamental play of the new attack is the quick pass. “It’s more uptempo, kind of catching the defense off guard,” Brown said. “There’s more complex passes, more crossing

routes, downfield routes. Coach Meyer and coach Herman are really trying to emphasize getting the best athletes in space.” Now the goal is to determine who are the best athletes. Meyer readily acknowledges that his old conference, the SEC, has faster players than the Big Ten, particular off the corner on defense but also at the skill positions. He also knows that at his previous stops on the coaching carousel there might have been more individual speed. “You can adapt. That’s what we’re going to have to do,” he said. “I didn’t have exactly (the player to fit that mold in) Paris Warren at Utah — not to keep going backwards, I need to keep going forward. He was a 4.7-second guy in the 40 but he played so fast. I just want guys to play fast.” Hyde may not be that guy, but he still loves the new play-a-second philosophy.

■ College Football

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 fumbles, interceptions and dropped passes. Asked how far the offense has progressed since then, new coordinator Tom Herman all but bursts out laughing. “Light years,” he said three times. “We actually can throw and catch a football. If we were at a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10 coming out of the spring in terms of throwing and catching, we’re up to a 4. We’re still not real good, but we’re still a lot better than we were at the end of the spring. That’s a testament to our guys and how much they worked in the offseason.” Meyer thought he had a speedster to build the offense around in Jordan Hall, a small but fast tailback who was seldom utilized in Tressel’s system. But a piece of glass delayed that grand experiment. The university says Hall was walking around outside his apartment complex

KuZZinZ Bar and Grill open for business All-American menu offers variety of foods BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor editorial@tdnpublishing.com

TROY

KuZZinZ Bar and Grill has opened in Troy, offering a variety of food and drink, along with local bands and other entertainment in a friendly atmosphere. The bar is at 3006 N. County Road 25-A, in the former LeDoux’s location. “I like to describe it as a hodgepodge place, where someone blue collar like my father who worked roofing all his life can come in and have a beer next to a doctor who’s having a glass of wine,” said Janice Torres, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Richard. Torres grew up in Troy and graduated from Troy High School in 1994. She previously worked as a contractor for the government, spending time in Iraq. Her husband, originally from Iowa, is a former Marine. They decided it was time to come home and be with family, so they set out to own their own business. cousin Shane Torres’ Williamson, a chef at Dayton’s Smash Burger, was looking to branch out, and cousin Monica Haulman came on board as manager. And so the bar was aptly named KuZZinZ, pronounced “cousins.” Not much renovating had to be done to the space, but Torres hired local artist Jennifer Noren to paint a large mural on the wall just inside the front door. The mural is a nightscape of a bridge over a river with sky-

scrapers lit up in the background and a riverboat with a red paddlewheel. Torres added high-top tables and chairs to the restaurant, which seats about 170 including its main dining room, upstairs indoor balcony and outdoor patio. The all-American menu has a little bit of everything for every taste bud. One of the highlights is the chicken tenders, made inhouse from chicken breasts and hand-breaded. Fresh prime rib is available Friday and Saturday nights, and all-youcan-eat walleye is offered on Friday. Torres said KuZZinZ is one of the only places around with a Monte Cristo on its menu. The sandwich is made with two slices of French toast stuffed with warm ham, smoked turkey, melted Swiss and American cheese and topped with powered sugar. The bourbon burger, which comes with KuZZinZ own bourbon sauce, is one of its top sellers, and the pastas are wonderful, Torres said. Vegetarian options are available, including a four-cheese grilled cheese sandwich and the grilled portabella mushroom. Appetizers such as onion straws and pork potato skins also are popular. A wide selection of sides is available to choose from, and soups and sauces are all homemade. Torres herself makes the desserts — everything from

The bar boasts a variety of draft beers, martinis, margaritas and sangrias, and happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. KuZZinZ features live bands on Friday nights, playing all styles of music including blues, rock and country. Some bands set up in the main dining area, others in the large open back room and some outside on the patio. A disc jockey entertains the crowd on Saturday nights with dancing and sometimes

karaoke. Thursday night is ladies night, plus trivia and karaoke. Wednesday is family night, when kids younger than 12 can receive a free kids meal with every adult entree purchase. Wednesday also is Deuces Wild Night on the Balcony, when diners are encouraged to play cards. Tuesday features specials on wings and draft beer, and Monday offers half-price appetizers. Torres hopes people will like coming to KuZZinZ for its great food and friendly environment. She wants people to say it’s their “new spot,” and some already

have. A group of ladies from the emergency room at the nearby Upper Valley Medical Center come in for ladies night Thursdays and always sit on the patio at the table nearest to the drive-through style window that opens right to the bar. As business continues to grow, Torres plans to add catering and special events, such as cruise-ins, to the bar’s schedule. KuZZinZ is open Monday at 4 p.m., Tuesday to Friday at 11 a.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. For more information, visit www.kuzzinz.com or call the restaurant at (937) 5529794.

CEO salvages Penney’s 2Q earnings disaster

Witwer Chiropractic to treat ADHD

NEW YORK (AP) — J.C. Penney Co. CEO Ron Johnson hasn’t run out of magic yet, as far as Wall Street is concerned. The former Apple executive’s soothing words drove the retailer’s stock higher even after the company offered up grisly details Friday of a terrible second quarter. The midpriced department store chain reported a bigger-than-expected loss and plummeting sales. Shoppers are still not buying into a bold new pricing strategy. Penney even withdrew its full-year profit guidance. After the report, Moody’s Investors Services downgraded Penney’s rating deeper into junk-bond terrain. The bleak performance marked the second-straight

quarter of severe sales declines since Penney got rid of most steep, temporary discounts in favor of everyday lower prices. The report confirmed it’s going to be a hard sell to shoppers who are used to big sale signs and coupons. Yet, after appearing queasy in premarket trading, investors pushed up Penney’s stock price by as much as 9 percent following some reassuring words from Johnson during a 90-minute conference call. The shares ended up 6 percent, or $1.30, at $23.40 on Friday. The gains show Wall Street still wants to believe the mastermind behind the success of Apple’s retail stores and Target’s cheap-chic strategy has the magic to deliver. “The more he sells the

hope, the more investors are buying into it,” Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst for research firm NBG Productions, who is still staying on the sidelines as far as Penney’s stock is concerned. Johnson, dressed in a navy blue blazer, white shirt and blue jeans, remained confident and calm as he vowed he was sticking to the plan. He shared more details of his vision for creating a new breed of specialty department stores and said that the latest fixes to simplify the pricing plan are resonating with customers. He and CFO Ken Hannah also allayed concerns about how much cash the company has. While admitting to mistakes in pricing and marketing, Johnson told investors,

“I am completely convinced that our transformation is on track.” Under Johnson’s stewardship, Penney is changing everything from the items it stocks to store design. But the riskiest move has been its pricing. The goal is to offer consumers more predictability so they will visit more often. That will help break the vicious cycle of discounting that has soiled the brand, a laggard behind Macy’s Inc. and other competitors. Penney’s stock is beaten up still down by nearly half since their peak above $42 in the afterglow of Johnson’s hiring. And business can’t get any worse, said Ron Friedman, head of the retail and consumer products group at accounting firm Marcum LLP.

Western states bake under heat wave LOS ANGELES (AP) — Temperatures soared into triple digits across the western United States on Saturday as a continuing heat wave strained energy supplies and sent thousands to beaches, lakes and shopping malls in search of cooler climes. A large and forceful high pressure system pushed the mercury to roughly 10 degrees above normal across the west, but relief is in sight the system is drifting east. By Tuesday, temperatures should be back to normal, said David Sweet, meteorologist for the National Weather Service. “It’s cooling by a couple degrees each day. Still, when you’re looking at 105 degrees, that’s only 103,” he said. California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Montana all reported higher than normal temperatures. Authorities in numerous states issued warnings for everything from fire danger to energy use to dehydration and even to be on lookout for hungry bears. With some areas of Colorado seeing almost double the number of days with 90-plus temperatures this year, bears have seen their natural food supply dry up, forcing them to forage in

The sign at the Clovis Memorial District building reads 107 degrees, Friday in Clovis, Calif. human habitats. In Phoenix, a desert city well accustomed to blistering summer temperatures, record highs were set three days last week. Temperatures on Wednesday hit 116. This weekend, the thermometer

is expected to hit around 113. Homeless people are flocking into the city’s shelters, which have opened up extra beds to accommodate up to 150 additional people Saturday night. “People can’t just stand to be outside anymore,” said

Irene Agustin, development director for Central Arizona Shelter Services. The city of Los Angeles kept municipal pools open through the weekend and encouraged residents without air conditioning to use recreation buildings as

“cooling centers.” Those who could get out of town did. Water spots from lakes to rivers to beaches and highways leading to them were packed Saturday with people seeking heat relief. George Medici, a Los

Angeles public relations executive, drove an hour north to beat the heat at a coastal golf course in Oxnard, Calif. Even with gas at $4 a gallon, it was well worth it, he said. “It was 106 degrees when I left the (San Fernando) Valley,” he said. “Here’s it’s 79. It’s a pretty wild thing.” The hot, dry weather has put firefighters across the region on heightened alert. Red flag warnings were in effect for a wide swath of Northern California, with forecasters predicting temperatures to break 100 across much of the area. Idaho has already seen a jump in forest fires this summer, which has caused a related health concern exacerbated by the heat drifting smoke. “With all the fire activity, we’re having air quality issues,” forecaster George Skari said. Reno, Nev., is looking at the hottest month on record if the trend keeps up, meteorologist Scott McGuire said. San Diego was bracing for another consequence of the extreme heat severe thunderstorms. The National Weather Service urged residents to stay inside a storm could drop quarter-sized pellets of hail.

The Olympic impact Summer Games bolster local teams, athletes BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Sixty girls — all ages 7-14 and all fueled by soda pop, pizza and cookies — bounced around the Gem City Gymnastics Center in Tipp City, sending churlish squeals of delight into the rafters above. They flipped, they flopped and they generally acted like they had been let loose at a Justin Bieber concert. And then, just as quickly as the cacophony had arisen, it was silenced. Those five dozen whirling dervishes of pigtails suddenly fell into place, all sitting quietly on the gymnastics mats with their eyes fixated with rapt attention on the television screen in front of them. Gabby Douglas was about to vault for the United States women’s gymnastics team. With the Gem City team looking on as part of an Olympics viewing party, Douglas led the U.S. women’s team to a team gold medal Aug. 9. Days later, the eyes of the world — and especially young gymnasts across the nation — would be on her again as she became the third American gymnast in a row to capture gold in the individual all-around. “The kids get so excited,” said Gem City Gymnastics owner and head coach Larry McCoppin. “Especially the younger ones. This is an opportunity for them to see all the things we talk about every day in practice. The same things we ask them to do — whether it be pointing their toes or whatever — are the same things they see the Olympic gymnasts do. It’s an incredible coaching tool for us.” Welcome to the Olympic impact. Every four years, coaches across America see an uptick in participation in their sports. While it may be harder to calculate the Olympic impact on sports such as basketball and soccer, which maintain year-round popularity, there is no doubt the popularity of the Summer Olympics has a

profound and measurable impact on other “fringe” sports such as gymnastics and swimming. “Pretty much every time, our enrollment has gone up by 20 to 30 percent during the Olympics,” said McCoppin, who opened Gem City Gymnastics in 1991. “Plus, it always helps when the U.S. is doing well like they are this year. The girls get excited when they see Americans winning.” This year, a number of gymnasts at Gem City have taken an even more vested interest in the Olympics gymnastics competition. Earlier this summer, 12 Gem City gymnasts attended a camp and had the opportunity to meet Douglas two days after the gold medalist competed in the Olympic trials. “That was a great experience,” McCoppin said. “Gabby is such a great kid. She’s just your typical teenager. She plays video games, she giggles all the time, she’s always on her cell phone. She gave the kids a real sense of belonging.” “It was cool,” said Jessica Ahrens, 14, who lives in Versailles and makes a 45-minute drive to Gem City three times per week. “We all got in line and she gave us all high-fives. I got her picture and her autograph. It was awesome. She was really cool.” Ahrens said seeing gymnasts such as Douglas and Jordyn Wieber perform on television is both an inspiration and an example of what could be. “It’s cooler when you get to the higher levels and you can look at the TV screen and say, ‘I can do that.’” Kathi Roetter, the aquatics director at the Miami County YMCA Robinson Branch, said she can always see the Olympic impact in the swimming pool. Given the success of American swimmers Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Missy Franklin, she expects it to be another big year for the YMCA swimming team. “We always see increased interest in swimming after the sum-

We also see an increased interest in swim lessons, as parents start thinking about preparing their child for the sport of swimming.” While both McCoppin and Roetter are pleased to see the increased interest in their respective sports, they also caution parents to keep their goals and aspirations for their children realistic. Simply signing a child up for swimming or gymnastics lessons does not a Phelps or a Douglas make. “Things a parent needs to remember about swimming,” Roetter said. “First, Gem City Gymnastics instructor Shannon Fields spots Ashley Andrews while it is a lot harder than it working on a back walkover Monday at the center in Tipp City. looks. It takes a lot of

practice in the pool. One session of swim lessons does not make a swimmer. As far as being on a team, it is important that the parents listen to the child. Don’t push the child into a sport that they really aren’t interested in. Swimming is a lifelong sport, so it is important not to push and to let the child develop their interest in swimming on their own.” McCoppin is upfront with parents to the point of suggesting another gym if they are looking for their child to become an elite, world-class gymnast. “At our gym, we don’t allow our kids to be in here more than 16 hours per week, because we still want them to have a childhood,” he said. “Most of the gymnasts you see in the Olympics are practicing 35 to 40 hours per week. If there’s a kid who is that motivated and really wants to do that, we’ll send them down to Cincinnati to work with José Engley-Gutierrez is assisted by YMCA Youth Instructor Jonathan Troeler observes the form of Mary Lee Tracy, who has Program Director Jaime Hull Tuesday at the Allison Hackenberger while performing a half-on coached Olympic gymdrill Monday at Gem City.

see a kid who is that motivated and wants to do it that bad.” Which isn’t to say, however, that Gem City Gymnastics hasn’t produced high-caliber gymnasts — and athletes who have gone on to excel in sports other than gymnastics. Angie Hosbach was a Level 10 state and national champion and currently competes for Ball State University. McCoppin said other former gymnasts have used their gymnastics training and conditioning to excel in other sports such as soccer, pole vaulting and volleyball. “We always tell our girls they can be as good as they want to be — we are willing to put in the work with them,” McCoppin said. The 60 gymnasts who just earlier had been bouncing around the gym settled into their place to watch Douglas vault. When she nailed her landing, they all erupted into cheers and screaming. Which, for once, McCoppin had to have appreciated.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY

25 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1987 • TROY — Much of the fear over possible contamination of Troy’s water supply has subsided, but that does not mean the city will stop being vigilant in making sure it stays safe. Troy regularly tests all the city’s wells for any indication of elevated levels of contamination. The regimen also includes testing at wells drilled between the county incinerator site and Troy’s well field in order to catch any advancement of contaminants. The issue of having safe and clean drinking water is important for all of us. • TROY — The Windridge subdivision and South Dorset Road extension projects are moving forward, albeit slowly. Windridge, which is a Blackmore family development project, originally slated to begin in 1987, will not get underway until spring. The plan calls for the extension of Dorset Road, south from McKaig Road to State Route 718. The planned industrial-commercial plat on the west side of the new road will be constructed first, then housing will be added later on the east side of the 56-acre development. City Council has approved the extension of Dorset Rd. in connection with the project, but recommended the road be constructed at 56 feet wide like the section of the same road between McKaig and West Main streets. 50 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1962 • LAURA — Miss Kathy Netzley has garnered quite a

100 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1912 • MIAMI COUNTY — The new concrete highway south of Piqua is progressing nicely and now covers the stretch between the Statler quarry and the Piqua corporation line. The completed road will ultimately cover the distance between Troy and Piqua and will be the first paved rural road in the county. The project is progressing at about 1,000 feet per week.

few awards in her young life and her latest is a record setter. Kathy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Netzley, has won the Silver Boot award as the Grand National Strutting Champion, which was awarded at the United States Twirling Association Grand National Championship in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Miss Netzley has been baton twirling and strutting for about 9 years and has won over 170 medals and trophies during that time. This latest recognition deserves special mention because it is a national award and it is the second time she has won the championship. She is the first person ever to repeat the honor. She is also a four-time Ohio state champion. Congratulations to Miss Netzley. • TROY — The city council has approved and moved forward with the plan to construct the Sarah Hayner Dickey Memorial Chapel at Riverside Cemetery. Mr. Arthur Dickey, in his 1947 will, left his shares of stock in the Third National Bank of Dayton to the trustees of Riverside. The stock was to be sold and the proceeds used to set up a trust fund which, when funds were sufficient, would be used to construct a chapel in memory of Mr. Dickey’s wife, Sarah. The trustees have stated

the account balance is now approximately $47,500 and will cover the costs of construction. Plans call for the erection of a 4,600 sq. ft. residence and chapel, seperated by an interior courtyard. Most of the building would be office space and a chapel capable of seating about 100 people, but a remaining third of the building would be used as a residence for the cemetery caretaker and his family. 75 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1937 • CONCORD TOWNSHIP — Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Fessler have purchased the well-known Berrycroft Farm from Mrs. Fessler’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Pierce. The Pierces have retired to Florida, but for approximately 30 years they operated the 27-acre farm as a flower and berry producing business which was widely known throughout the area for its quality of produce. The Fesslers plan to continue growing flowers and berries, but not quite as extensively as Mr. and Mrs. Pierce did. The farm, which includes a house and outbuildings, is located on Pierce Pike. (Columnist’s Note: This property was located just north of Horseshoe Bend on the west

side of Forest Hill Road). • MIAMI COUNTY — The county fair experienced a good and profitable season, despite the economic climate of recent years. The Miami County Fair Board estimated they will come out about $750 ahead of their expenses for this year’s fair. The day crowds and two days early in the week were very slow and disappointing, but the evening attendance and the last two days of the fair pushed the receipts over the top. The board is quite pleased with the overall attendance and the exhibits during the week. 100 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1912 • MIAMI COUNTY — Aug. 22, the day planned for the annual farmers’ picnic at the Experiment Farm, dawned as a beautiful day and continued to be so throughout the gathering. Organizers were somewhat disappointed that only 100 people showed up for the picnic portion of the event, but their countenance changed when at least twice that many came for the oratories by C.G. Williams, H.M. Wachter and Oscar Peason. The audience listened with interest to the speeches and then enjoyed a tour of the farm directed by superintendant Charles McIntyre. 120 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1892 • CASSTOWN — Our farmers are quite vexed about the “plague” of grasshoppers this year. Try as some may to deal with the problem, the insect continues to bring immeasurable damage to the clover crops. • WEST MILTON — A local

division of opinion brought itself forward again on Monday (Aug. 22) when the sheriff served an injunction to the village council against moving forward with the planned village water works. One party believes it would be best to move forward thinking the “works” would be quite an addition and progressive move for the community. But, another group disagrees and does not think the project is in the best interest of West Milton, at least not at this time. Now, the community must wait for the court to decide the merits of the injunction and whether they will dissolve it or let it stand permenantly. 146 Years Ago: Aug. 12-25, 1866 • TROY — Joseph Furnas Sr., a resident of the county for 40 years and is about 70 years old, has for several years experienced a roaring in his ears and an unpleasant feeling in his head. He has sought medical attention and has tried various remedies, but to no avail. He was recently enouraged to contact Dr. Harter, who is well known as a very skillful physician, and after being under the good doctor’s care for two weeks is now restored to health. The roaring is stopped and his hearing has been restored to the point of his being able to discern even delicate sounds. Dr. Harter is in his Troy office the first week of every month. Patrick D. Kennedy is archivist at the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, 100 W. Main St., Troy, 335-4082.

Fighting obesity is just a walk in the parking lot BY JACKIE CROSBY Minneapolis Star Tribune So you always thought the best parking spot was in the front row? Well, an experimental program in Minnesota wants you to move back to see if a stroll in the parking lot will help fight obesity. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, the state’s largest health insurer, is taking outlying parking spaces at shopping malls this month to encourage people to sneak in a few extra footsteps on the way inside. The idea is to remind shoppers that small behavior changes can have a big health impact in fighting an epidemic of obesity that cuts short lives and weighs down the health care system. “If you talk to anybody who at one point was inactive, you find they started making one little change — they took the steps up one flight at work instead of the elevator … or they started carrying in their groceries one bag at a time,” said Dr. Marc

The promotion has expanded into a broader effort focused on community health, Manley said. To promote better health, experts recommend 30 minutes of daily exercise, which can be broken into five or 10-minute

Walking started as a fitness trend when ancient vertebrates first strode out of the primordial sea and onto dry land, 400 million years ago. And no wonder the sport has legs. It’s the simplest, easiest and most accessible form of outdoor exercise — or indoor, thanks to malls and skyways. It’s low impact, requires no special location or equipment beyond decent shoes, and most people can do it. Its benefits, according to the Mayo Clinic, include lower blood pressure, decreased “bad” cholesterol and increased “good” cholesterol, reduced diabetes risk, mood and cognitive improvement and, of course, the ever popular weight management. Some people like walking but want to take it, well, a step further. Enter a couple of souped-up styles of perambulation: Nordic walking, which involves using specially designed poles; and

race walking, which is walking really fast without breaking into a run. Like regular walking, both can be practiced outdoors on trails and sidewalks, or indoors in an uncrowded space. But they require more attention to form — newcomers can benefit from brief instruction — and, in the case of Nordic walking, a bit more equipment. Both are particularly popular among older people. They’re rigorous but not risky, don’t require club or team membership, and can be done alone or in groups. Let’s get one touchy issue out of the way: To the uninitiated observer, both activities can look a little, well, strange. Nordic walkers look like they meant to go skiing but forgot their skis. Race walkers adhere to a strict form that involves churning, bent arms, short strides and a bit of a hip-swivel. Most enthusiasts consider the occasional odd glance a small tradeoff for enjoyable activities that, they say, provide a great workout.

Although the study establishes a correlation between jobs and defects, it does not establish the cause.

It may be small (and shared). But for at least one academic year, for thousands of college students, it’s home. Over generations, the dorm room hasn’t gotten bigger. But the amount of must-have stuff — including technology — that needs to squeeze into that space has morphed into a much longer list. “All our rooms now have Wi-Fi access and satellite TV packages,” said Peggy Luers, coordinator for housing administration at California State University, Sacramento. “That was not an option when I was in school.” “Students need to be aware that the space they’re moving into is probably smaller than they’re used to — and they’re sharing,” Luers said. “Don’t bring everything all at once. You don’t want a crowded room. You need a place to study.” Each college has its own variations of dorm do’s and don’ts with some constants. No nails in the walls. No painting. No pets (except maybe fish). But that leaves plenty of decorating options. Major companies have taken notice, fulfilling dorm needs as part of their teen marketing. According to retailers, the average incoming college freshman will spend more than $900 this year to outfit a dorm room. For example, Bed, Bath & Beyond partnered with Sacramento State to create sample dorm rooms for prospective students and their parents to tour. Target carries XL twin bedding and Room Essentials foldable furniture. Tuesday Morning made dorm living key to its back-toschool push. Catering to this youth market, Pottery Barn offers the PBdorm line. “The PBdorm line is a little more sophisticated,” said Nancy Guettier, vice president of visual merchandizing for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen. “The colors are more muted; a lot of plum and gray.” Dirt is an important consideration. Dorm life means laundry. Said Luers, “My advice to parents: Teach your teens how to do laundry before they arrive in the dorms.” Distinctive linen patterns or colors can help roommates tell items apart. PBteen also offers a monogram service for its linens. Bedding and towels start the list of must-have dorm items. Pillows (especially an oversized back-rest variety) are a plus. “Your bed is not only a bed, but also your couch and study spot,” Luers said. Most dorm rooms come in basic off-white. Area rugs are another way to add a splash of color and personalize its small space. Extra seating welcomes friends who stop by. That’s where beanbags and collapsible chairs

AP PHOTO/VISIT ST. PETERSBURG/CLEARWATER

This undated photo provided by Visit St. Petersburg/Clearwater shows the St. Petersburg skyline and waterfront. Enjoying the views is one of a number of free things to see and do in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, with St. Pete located across the bay from Tampa where the Republican National Convention begins Aug. 27.

Host city boasts diverse history GOP to gather in Tampa, St. Petersburg TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — In a twist of irony, many visitors to August’s Republican National Convention will travel between their hotels and the downtown event on a busy road named to honor President John F. Kennedy, a Democrat. Kennedy Boulevard, a gateway to downtown from the west, was so named in 1964 partially because of a special connection between Tampa and the 35th president. Kennedy had waved to massive crowds lining that road from an open-topped Lincoln Continental on Nov. 18, 1963. The next time he rode in that car, four days later in a motorcade through downtown Dallas, he would be shot to death. A statue of JFK now stands at the present site of the University of Tampa, looking out over his eponymous thoroughfare. The Tampa-JFK connection is just part of Florida’s rich presidential history. It includes Andrew Jackson’s role as Florida’s first territorial governor in Pensacola, Harry S. Truman’s “Little White House” in Key West the winter quarters hosted a total of total of six presidents and the famous compound kept by the Kennedy family at Palm Beach. After Kennedy became president, a secret bunker was installed in an island off the coast in case of a nuclear attack. There’s more in Tampa, too. A stone’s throw away from Kennedy’s statue is a grand structure topped with curiously ornate minarets that was once called the Tampa Bay Hotel. Built by railroad magnate Henry Plant, it was there that then-Col. Teddy Roosevelt and members of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry better known as the Rough Riders bivouacked in 1898, before shipping out for Cuba and the Spanish-American War. Today, the building houses a museum and is a centerpiece of the stately downtown University of Tampa campus. In more modern history, as the Tampa Bay area grew up and Florida became a critical swing state, visits by sitting presidents have become relatively common, and Tampa has become a required campaign-trail stop for any candidate who hopes to win over the many swing voters here. For visitors to the Aug. 27-30 convention, there is plenty more to take in. Tampa’s former Latin quarter, Ybor (EE-bor) City, adjacent to downtown, was for the first half of the last century the cigar manufacturing capital of the world, with more than 200 factories once lining the narrow streets. That heritage is celebrated here, and still alive in the cigar shops mixed in among the bars and restaurants in what is now a bustling entertainment district. In the socalled “Cigar City,” aficionados can put fire to a fine stogie rolled minutes before right in the window of one those Ybor City shops. Don’t fancy a cigar? Then how about a Cuban sandwich? That’s the other product virtually synonymous with Tampa and is similarly interwoven into its history. A staple of the early immigrant communities in Ybor City, the sandwich of ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on pressed Cuban bread

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Whether you’re in the Tampa Bay area for the Republican National Convention or there on a family vacation, you’re probably aware of the usual tourist spots: the beach, Busch Gardens, the Florida Aquarium. While the region does boast some of America’s most beautiful beaches, there are also some out-of-theway spots that reveal a different side of this sunny state. Here are five free things — including one very gorgeous but littleknown beach — to do in the Tampa Bay region, which encompasses both the city of Tampa and neighboring Pinellas County. • JOSE MARTI PARK: While it’s physically located in the city of Tampa’s historic district called Ybor City, this tiny park is really part of Cuba. Yes, THAT Cuba. Named after the revolutionary who helped oust the Spanish out of Cuba in 1900 who also spent time in Florida, the land was bought by a couple in the 1950s to honor the man himself. The couple gave the land to Cuba but Fidel Castro took over the country a few years later. To this day, property records show that the owner of the .14 acre park is the “Cubano Estado,” or “Cuban State.” • TEDDY’S TAMPA: In 1898, before he was president, Col. Teddy Roosevelt once stayed in Tampa on his way to fight the SpanishAmerican War in Cuba. He and the First United States Volunteer Cavalry — also known as the Rough Riders — bivouacked and planned the invasion at the Tampa Bay Hotel, an ornate structure with silver minarets built by a railroad magnate. The building is part of the campus of the University of Tampa and houses a museum. • MAFIA CEMETERY: Did you watch the movie Donnie Brasco? Remember how Donnie and Sonny Black met up with famed mobster Santo Trafficante Jr., the mafia boss of Florida and Cuba? In Tampa, you can see Trafficante’s final resting place at the L’Unione Italiana Cemetery in Ybor City. Trafficante died in 1987 at a Houston hospital after a triple bypass. During his funeral at the Tampa cemetery, police officers stood outside and took photos of the mourners. • SUNSET BEACH: Almost all of the Tampa-area beaches are located west of the city in Pinellas County, and all of them are gorgeous. But one of the nicest and most secluded is Sunset Beach, nestled at the tip of a small beach city named Treasure Island. From downtown Tampa, take I-275 South to 22nd Ave. S., then head west. • ST. PETERSBURG WATERFRONT: Downtown Tampa is mostly concrete and steel, but across the bay is a kinder, gentler cityscape. You can stroll along parks and waterfront between the historic, Mediterranean-revival Vinoy Renaissance Resort and Golf Club and the new, eye-popping Salvador Dali Museum. Pass by the Museum of Fine Arts, a marina, a yacht club and some gorgeous banyan trees. On nearby Beach Drive, cafes, bars and stores line the street.

according to the host committee, and down the road attract potential visitors from among the millions of people watching it on TV around the world. The event will attract three times more media members than the Super Bowl, which Tampa has hosted four times. “It’s coverage that you can’t buy,” said Travis Claytor, spokesman for the area’s tourism bureau. “Every time they do a cut-away shot of the skyline of downtown Tampa or the Tampa Bay Times Forum, or show beauty shots of the beaches and the attractions, that’s promoting the destination like we’ve never been

able to promote it before. This is an opportunity that has never come along before, and it’s priceless, to be honest with you.” Tampa will be the focus for convention visitors, of course, with its big-city skyline, world-class aquarium, Busch Gardens theme park, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and the riverfront arena where all the convention floor action will take place. But the area is what it is cool and cosmopolitan enough to attract Super Bowls, NCAA Final Four tournaments and now, a political convention because of St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the rest of what is collectively known as “Tampa Bay.”

‘Bourne’ writer-director Gilroy taps real science

This image originally released by Universal Pictures shows Matt Damon as the character Jason Bourne in “The Bourne Ultimatum.” robotic prostheses, but advances in neuroscience to help reduce battlefield stress, hasten learning, improve analytic capabilities and even engender trust. Such advancements are at the heart of “The Bourne Legacy.” Jeremy Renner plays Aaron

Hamlisch left his signature on decades of films LOS ANGELES (AP) — The word “prolific” gets tossed around a lot, but it couldn’t be more appropriate in discussing the work of the late, great Marvin Hamlisch. This is especially true in considering his many contributions to film over the past five-plus decades. Yes, he’s been duly decorated in other artistic the longtime realms Broadway favorite “A Chorus Line,” which eventually ended up on the big screen, earned him a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 but he also crafted some of the best-loved and most enduring songs and scores in movie history. Hamlisch died Monday after a brief illness, his family said. The former child prodigy, who was accepted to Juilliard School of Music at age 7, was 68. Regardless of the genre or year, Hamlisch’s music had a unifying factor something intangible, an oldfashioned sense of showmanship, a feeling of substance and a respect for craft. He tapped into our emotions in a way that felt intimate and personal, yet he expressed yearnings that are universally relatable, One great example of this is “The Way We Were,” a soaring, unabashedly sentimental, achingly melancholy ballad from the 1973 Sydney Pollack romantic drama of the same name starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford. Nearly 40 years later, it still holds up beautifully, and it gave Streisand one of her signature tunes. It also earned Hamlisch the Academy Award for best original song, which he shared with lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman. (The couple said in a statement Tuesday: “He was more than our collaborator. He was our beloved friend. He was family.”) The year 1974 was a huge one for Hamlisch at the Oscars: He also won for his original score for “The Way We Were” and for his instantly recognizable adaptation of Scott Joplin’s music for “The Sting,” the seven-time Oscar winner that reunited Butch and Sundance, Paul Newman and Redford, as Chicago con men along with director George Roy Hill. The theme song “The Entertainer” is so insanely catchy, it’ll probably be stuck in your head the rest of the week. You’re welcome. In a reflection of his versatility, Hamlisch also composed the greatest James Bond theme song yet in the 22-film history of the franchise (in my opinion at least you can have “Goldfinger” or “Live and Let Die”) with “Nobody Does It Better” from 1977’s “The Spy Who Loved Me.” It’s romantic and wistful

but with an increasing power, and like “The Way We Were” is for Streisand, it’s become a signature hit for Carly Simon. It’s so enduring, though, even Radiohead has performed a cover of it, putting their own spin on the song while remaining true to its essence. If you were a little girl in the 1970s, you probably watched “Ice Castles” a lot. And so you heard Hamlisch’s “Through the Eyes of Love” a lot. The 1978 drama follows the rise and fall of a figure skater who struggles to resurrect her career after a freak accident leaves her blind. Hamlisch wrote the score and was nominated for an Oscar, alongside legendary lyricist Carole Bayer Sager, for Melissa Manchester’s ballad. It sounds very of its time in retrospect but still finds a way to tug at you all these years later. And just try not to get choked up when Lynn-Holly Johnson trips over those roses on the ice and Robby Benson has to come out and rescue her. There was, of course, a film version of “A Chorus Line” in 1985, directed by Richard Attenborough (of all people) and nominated for three Academy Awards, including one for yet another Hamlisch original song. But songs from the revered Broadway show, like “One” and “What I Did for Love,” have turned up in countless other films as disparate as “My Giant,” ”Shrek the Third” and “American Dreamz.” Naturally gifted and incredibly versatile, Hamlisch ranged from jazzy scores for the early Woody Allen comedies “Take the Money and Run” (1969) and “Bananas” (1971) to more somber work in heavy-duty dramas including “Ordinary People” (1980) and “Sophie’s Choice” (1982). In between there were romances including the wistful theme for “Same Time, Next Year,” with Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda, and the disco-flavored title music for “Seems Like Old Times” (1980), with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. Hamlisch’s first movie credit was “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows,” a perky, optimistic pop tune that Lesley Gore sang in the 1965 comedy “Ski Party,” which featured Frankie Avalon in drag. The song lives on in places like the family film “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” and was even used ironically during a police chase in the 1993 “Simpsons” episode “Marge on the Lam.” The last film he scored was 2009’s “The Informant!” Steven Soderbergh’s ’70stinged romp about a bungling, delusional whistleblower.

Cross, a super agent who has benefited from the government’s top-secret medical research; Rachel Weisz is the doctor who helped develop the science and Edward Norton acts as the kingpin, a sort of corporate-militaryintelligence hybrid, who tries to

control it all. Gilroy talked with The Associated Press about his inspiration for the story and why truth can be stranger than fiction. AP: How did you go about broadening the “Bourne” world? Gilroy: There needed to be a pulling back the curtain, a much larger conspiracy. Edward Norton has his agency that he’s carved out there at the center of the Beltway, and (we) found a niche for him in the militaryindustrial-corporate espinocracy food chain, found a good place for his agency to fit. … It has all of the funding and all of the motivation and all of the secrecy that we would expect with a government program, but then it has all the lack of oversight, the human error, that we know always comes with everything. So we set Edward’s agency there, in that sort of sweet spot there… AP: Did you discover anything so far-fetched that moviegoers might not believe is true? Gilroy: I wanted to keep

everything really kitchen sink-y and crude and authentic and real and did not want to have it feel science-fiction, and I knew that what we were talking about is really on the way here or certainly a lot of people have it up on the chalkboard. … The thing that seemed most applicable to me and that helped me most in my story was gene doping, genomic alteration. That was a little bit sexier and a little more on the horizon than some of the other things. It’s kind of fascinating, in the last month, since the Olympics have come up, I’ve seen two mainstream articles the scientists who are responsible for doing all the drug testing for all the athletes, that’s their cutting edge. That’s their next (question), how do we monitor gene doping. And they don’t know how to do it and it’s really fascinating. The scenario is they introduce chromosomal gene doping through a synthetic virus. And that’s happening now. That’s what Olympic doctors are worried about…

FILM REVIEW

AP PHOTO/UNIVERSAL PICTURES, MARY CYBULSKI

This film image released by Universal Pictures shows Rachel Weisz as Dr. Marta Shearing, right, and Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross in a scene from “The Bourne Legacy.”

Fourth ‘Bourne’ more brainy than brawny BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Film Reviewer The fourth film in the Bourne franchise, “The Bourne Legacy,” may seem heady and intentionally disorienting and hard to follow at first until you realize it’s really about drug addiction, and the lengths to which a junkie will go to get his fix. Structurally, yes, it’s loaded with all the lies, schemes and high-tech trickery that are staples of the espionage genre. But a deeper, more individualistic source of tension propels the film along. Think of it as “Drugstore Cowboy” with an international scope and more explosions. That may help as you compare it with the first three films in the series that starred Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, the amnesiac CIA assassin of Robert Ludlum’s novels, and established Damon as the rare action star who can actually act. Comparison is inevitable, especially given that a new leading man, Jeremy Renner, now plays the highly trained bad ass at the center of the film’s intrigue. And as a straight-up action flick,

“The Bourne Legacy” does come up a bit short, except for one dizzying motorcycle chase through the streets of Manila. But it feels like Tony Gilroy is trying to do something different here, something more cerebral and potentially less crowd-pleasing. Gilroy, who wrote or cowrote the previous three films (“The Bourne Identity,” ”The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum”), takes over directing duties as well this time, and it seems as if he’s more interested in offering a character drama about desperation than a highoctane summer blockbuster. Not that “The Bourne Legacy” is free of thrills, it’s just more grounded than spectacular. He lets the shootouts and chases play out in a more fluid fashion than the frenzied, kinetic style that’s the signature of Paul Greengrass, who directed parts two and three. Renner stars as Aaron Cross, who’s alone in the wilds of Alaska on a training exercise at the film’s start. But he finds he’s the target of a legitimate threat when the super-

secret government spy program he’s a part of hastily gets shut down with the exposure of Jason Bourne. Turns out, Bourne was not the only person given a whole new identity he was one of many, and the new models are even bigger-better-fasterstronger thanks to a combination of little blue and green pills. His handlers, including Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Donna Murphy, may have done too good a job. Cross is hard to kill, and Gilroy cuts back and forth between the spy’s resourceful, globe-trotting efforts to stay alive and the shadowy surveillance rooms full of glowing monitors that illuminate his hunters’ growing frustration. Cross finds one ally, though. Rachel Weisz plays Dr. Marta Shearing, a research scientist at a pharmaceutical giant who becomes his reluctant partner on the run. She also finds herself a target when she becomes the lone survivor of a massive workplace shooting at her lab. (The deliberate carnage would have been unsettling anyway but it seems especially so now.)

TOP ITUNES Top Songs: 1. “Home,” Phillip Phillips 2. “Whistle,” Flo Rida 3. “Call Me Maybe,” Carly Rae Jepsen 4. “Some Nights,” Fun. 5. “Wide Awake,” Katy Perry 6, “Want U Back,” Cher Lloyd 7. “As Long As You Love

He needs to get his hands on more of the drugs she helped concoct or he’ll revert to his former, normal self. She knows where to find them, but it’s a long and messy slog. Weisz is literally and figuratively along for the ride, called upon as she is to do little more than rattle off a lot of scientific jargon and persevere. That means it’s up to Renner to inject the film with some personality, to find a balance between being engaging and deadly. And he succeeds in the first part of the film, showing some of the flashes of exciting unpredictability he made his name on in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.” Going through withdrawal does his character no favors, and strands him in straightforward survival mode. But it’s clear from the final shot (which is part of a rather abrupt ending) that more adventures with Aaron Cross are in store. “The Bourne Legacy,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for violence and action sequences. Running time: 135 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. 2307650

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Bourne Legacy” is a work of fiction, but the scientific, political and corporate partnerships it depicts are very real. Tony Gilroy, a writer on the first three “Bourne” films and writer-director of this latest installment, spent countless hours immersed in military and intelligence research to tell the story of CIA assassin Jason Bourne. When tasked with expanding Bourne’s universe for “Legacy,” Gilroy again looked to reality: Hundreds if not thousands of secret government and quasigovernment programs funded by millions and millions of dollars with little oversight, all designed to build better weapons and better soldiers. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which performs research for the U.S. Department of Defense, is just one organization developing the kinds of programs that would fit perfectly into Bourne’s world: Not just high-tech weapons and

This book cover image released by Alfred A. Knopf shows “Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child” by Bob Spitz.

Book honors chef on 100th birthday BY JESSICA GRESKO AP Book Reviewer “Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child” (Knopf), by Bob Spitz: Before Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse, before Gordon Ramsay and Rachael Ray, before Lidia Bastianich and Anthony Bourdain, there was Julia Child. Child made her TV cooking debut in 1962, in black and white, and by the time she’d finished making an omelet, audiences were hooked. TV cooking has never been the same. Now, out in time for what would have been the late chef’s 100th birthday on Aug. 15, Bob Spitz has written a soup-to-nuts biography of her life. Spitz takes readers from her childhood in Pasadena, Calif., to her days at Smith College and from her work for America’s first intelligence agency during World War II to her introduction to serious cooking in France. While the book begins with her first television appearance, it backtracks to her youth, and readers don’t even get to her enrollment in cooking classes at Paris’ Le Cordon Bleu until more than a third of the way into the book. Early chapters can be a bit slow, since the topic readers inevitably want to read about is her cooking. Still, Child’s life and plucky attitude are quality ingredients. Add Spitz’s storytelling skills and the result is a foolproof recipe for entertainment. Readers get tasty morsels on every page. Child loved Goldfish crackers and served them as hors d’oeuvres. She was paid $50 per episode for her first show, “The French Chef.” At one point her mornings included 60 strokes on a rowing machine so that when she beat egg whites on television she wouldn’t get out of breath. And on Thanksgiving, her home phone in Cambridge, Mass., would ring all day with people asking for help with their turkey dinners (her number was in the phone book). Readers will swear that to write the book Spitz must have spent years as Child’s sous chef, observing and writing down details, like the fact that when testing the perfect French bread recipe she used up 284 pounds of flour. Spitz did in fact follow Child for several weeks in 1992 while writing about her for a number of magazines. For his master work, however, he sifted through her archive of papers at Harvard and had the help of friends, relatives and chefs who knew her and agreed to interviews. Spitz spent four years researching and writing the 500-plus-page tome.

BOOK REVIEW

‘Line of Fire’ compelling Final installment brings saga full circle BY JEFF AYERS AP Book Reviewer “Line of Fire” (Dutton), by Stephen White: After 20 years, Stephen White has decided to end his popular series featuring psychologist Dr. Alan Gregory. The penultimate book, “Line of Fire,” starts to bring the saga full circle. Wildfires rage across the Colorado countryside, and the call for evacuation could come at any time. A new client has a strange story to tell, and a colleague has begun showing signs of a nervous breakdown. A secret between Gregory and police officer Sam Purdy,

revealed in 2007’s “Dry Ice,” has started to emerge, and it’s the one thing that could shatter Gregory’s marriage, destroy his career and put him behind bars for decades. It would only be worse for Purdy. White was a practicing clinical psychologist for over 15 years, so he brings the needed authenticity to Gregory’s cases. The fly-onthe-wall feel during his sessions with clients adds an emotional element to the proceedings that gives the characters added realism. White has created an amazing cast of characters, and it’s sad to see the end in

sight. On the other hand, White has had an amazing run of almost 20 Gregory novels. Fans will love how the threads from the other books weave into a complex tapestry. Newcomers will find a compelling mystery set against the beautiful Colorado landscape amid raging wildfires. The end of “Line of Fire” is a bit abrupt, but there’s one more novel coming to provide closure. RIGHT: This book cover image released by Dutton shows “Line of Fire,” by Stephen White.

Billy Crystal working on book about aging BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press NEW YORK — He has lived many, many Sundays. Turning 65 next year doesn’t only mean more nap time for Billy Crystal. The actor and comedian is transforming the milestone into a book, and maybe even a stage show. Crystal has an agreement with Henry Holt and Company for a book that will be part memoir, part meditation with jokes about getting older. Financial terms were not disclosed, but an official

with knowledge of the negotiations said the deal was worth around $4 million. The official was not authorized to discuss terms and spoke on condition of anonymity. Multiple publishers were interested in the book. During a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press, Crystal said that he hoped to have it out around the time the big day arrives, March 14, 2013. “There are 77 million of us baby boomers in the country and this book will speak to them and how we look at the world,” he said.

The book is currently untitled: “We have a dirty title, and a sincere title,” he explained. Crystal said he expects to work on it throughout the summer and have the manuscript done by the beginning of November. He’s considering adapting the book for the stage. Crystal had enormous success with the Tony Awardwinning “700 Sundays,” his one-man theater show that paid tribute to his late father with whom Crystal has said he spent 700 Sundays. Crystal has written several previous books, including children’s

stories and an adaptation of “700 Sundays.” Crystal has made a career out of turning his life into comedy. “City Slickers” was a story of mid-life crisis, and an upcoming film, “Parental Guidance,” stars Crystal and Bette Midler as grandparents, based on Crystal’s experiences with his own grandchildren. He is one of the world’s busier almost-senior citizens, also working on a prequel to “Monsters Inc.” and a possible candidate for another shot at hosting the Oscars. The new book will be

around 300-350 pages (“the print will be 4 inches high”) and will be edited by Gillian Blake, who worked on Rob Lowe’s best-selling “Stories I Only Tell My Friends.” In a statement released by Holt on Wednesday, Blake said that “It’s not every day you laugh out loud at your desk while reading a book proposal.” Crystal said he was currently breaking down his life into decades: “My 20s and 30s and 40s and 50s.” He stopped and laughed. “That’s a lot of decades.”

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rate on 30-year loans rises to 3.59 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose for the second straight week, staying slightly above historic lows. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the rate on the 30-year loan increased to 3.59 percent, up from 3.55 percent last week. Two weeks ago, the rate fell to 3.49 percent, the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, rose to 2.84 percent. That’s up from 2.83 percent last week and a record low of 2.80 percent the previous week. Cheap mortgages have helped drive a modest housing recovery this year. Home sales are higher than last year, although they are still below healthy levels. U.S. home prices are also rising. Prices for all homes, including distressed properties, jumped 2.5 percent in June from the same month in 2011, according to a report issued Tuesday by data analytics firm CoreLogic. Builders have grown more confident after seeing increased demand for homes. In June, they increased their spending for a third straight month. Low mortgage rates could also provide some help to the economy if more people refinance. When people refinance at lower rates, they pay less interest on their loans and have more money to spend. Many homeowners use the savings on renovations, furniture, appliances and other improvements, which help drive growth.

What to consider when choosing a color scheme

HOUSE HUNTING

Know risks before hiring out-of-area agent Why buyer may be at disadvantage during process

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service What say we go back to basics? Let’s examine colors and how to combine them. Primary colors are red, blue and yellow, as we learned in grade school. Secondary colors are made by mixing two of the three primary colors. That is how we get orange, green and purple. A complementary color scheme uses colors that are

directly across from each other on the color wheel. Red is across from green, so those are complementary. But did you know that pink, a lightened version of red, also works great with green, particularly dark green? Blue is directly across from orange. Here again, peach, a lightened orange, works nicely with blue. Purple and yellow are complementary and so are lavender and yellow. Now take those same primary colors and mix them with secondary colors, and you have

tertiary colors. If you are considering a monochromatic color scheme, you’ll use a single color in most every room surface. That sounds almost boring, but it’s not. A monochromatic color scheme incorporates many shades and tints of one color and is usually accompanied by some neutral color. Blue, with many varieties of depths, pairs nicely with white. Patterns come into play when mixing the

Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Buyers trying to buy in a lowinventory, high-demand market can be at a disadvantage when working with an agent from out of the area. Listing agents tend to feel more comfortable working with agents who have a track record selling homes in the area. If you’re using an out-of-area agent, it’s a good idea for that agent to build rapport with the listing agent before you write an offer. Make sure the listing agent knows that your agent is accomplished and will get the job done. Real estate law and custom vary from one area to the next. An agent from another area may not be aware of some of these critical issues. Often offers are written with buyers asking sellers to take responsibility for items normally handled by the buyers. This can be off-putting to the sellers, particularly if they are considering more than one offer. It’s always difficult to know how much to offer on a listing that

Multiple listing services are coalescing into large entities that make it easier for real estate agents from other counties to represent buyers and sellers in areas where they don’t normally work. They have access to new listings as they come on the market and they can search for comparable sales, even though they haven’t seen the properties. The draw of working with agents you trust and whom you’ve worked with before is strong. However, real estate agents owe a fiduciary duty to their clients and shouldn’t work outside their comfort zone. There are competent agents who work in more than one county and are well qualified to do so. They know the markets in which they work. One risk you take in working with an out-of-area agent is that the agent doesn’t understand the idiosyncrasies of the area. In heterogeneous neighborhoods where no two houses look alike, it can be difficult for an outsider to understand why some three-bedroom homes sell for $600,000 and others sell for $900,000 or more. Agents with years of experience working in these neighborhoods are accustomed to the variety and know which comparable sales will best match the property you’re interested in buying or selling.

easy to clean. If your dining table is only used a few times a year, you can pick a table that is a bit more fine and fragile. However, I still encourage you to get a table that can handle the rigor of a robust dinner party. 2. How many people do you need to seat at the table? If possible, select a table that can seat everyone even during the holidays. That may mean one with extra leaves. 3. What is the style of the room where you’ll dine? Your dining table needs to harmonize with the room’s style. Notice I didn’t say the

table needs to “match.” I like it when people mix things up, weaving together different sorts of furniture to keep the interior design interesting. Pinpoint the room’s style. Is it traditional, contemporary or transitional? Formal or informal? What about your home’s overall style? You want the table to look like it belongs. 4. What size table and chairs will fit? One of the biggest mistakes is getting a dining table that’s too large for the space. At minimum, you need to allow a berth of 36 inches around the table just to pull

A drop-in or an under-mount sink? BY ED DEL GRANDE Scripps Howard News Service Q: My wife and I can’t decide on what type of kitchen sink to get for our new stone countertops. We’re down to choosing an undermount or a drop-in. The big advantage so far is that our contractor told us that a dropin will cost less to install. But the under-mount looks cool. Other than price, are there advantages if we install a drop-in style sink instead of an under-mount? — Bill, Illinois A: Let’s start with some basic information about under-mounts. They are usually installed on solid-surface or stone countertops because the counter edges of the sink opening are exposed. On top of looking “cool,” under-mount sinks have no raised sink edges, so crumbs can be wiped directly into the sink bowl. But a drop-in sink does have some advantages as well. As you mentioned, installation can cost less because it’s a less complicated process. Usually, all you need is the correct size of hole cut into the countertop, and then you drop in the new sink. Also, because drop-ins are considered the stan-

Picking chairs to go with your dining table is fun these days. Table and chair combos are exciting and dynamic, giving you the freedom to tailor them to reflect your design style. If you want to mix things up, work within your own comfort zone. For some people, that’s pairing a table with a set of slightly different

chairs. For others, that means an odd assortment of dissimilar chairs. Just make sure the end product is pleasing to your eye and harmonious with itself, the room and your home design overall. One of my favorite looks right now is using wing-backed upholstered chairs for host and hostess chairs. Watch out for the height of the chair — many are too low to use at a dining table. A lot of our customers like using benches instead of dining chairs so they can seat a varying number of people.

• Continued from C1 is receiving offers from more than one buyer. A local agent is more likely to know how many offers the most recent comparable received and how much over the asking price the buyer paid. This can be used as a gauge for making an offer in competition. If your agent doesn’t regularly work in the micromarket where you want to live, you could be at a disadvantage. This is not to say that out-of-area brokerage never works. Sometimes it does, particularly if the buyers are preapproved with a local loan agent or mortgage broker and are diligent about researching the market before they write an offer. They know the local pricing so they don’t have to rely on their agent for advice on how much to offer. They know the point-of-sale ordinances. They know what hazards affect the area, like floods or landslides. Agents who choose to work in an unknown

area should connect with a good agent in the area who can advise them of issues they should be aware of when representing a buyer there. A good listing agent should be willing to give your agent this information so that nothing is overlooked. Beware of agents who claim they can do a good job for you in an area where they’ve never worked before. They could be more interested in the commission than in giving you the best representation possible. THE CLOSING: The best solution is to have your agent refer you to a top-notch agent in the area where you want to buy or sell.

Another thing to consider when choosing a color scheme is how the colors express themselves. A red pillow on a blue couch looks good.

easy to read. The same goes for color-scheme combinations. Sometimes the colors pop brilliantly against another color, and sometimes the same colors don’t pop so much against a different colored background. Test and see what works for you. A lot has to do with whether you want a bold or subtle look. Now that you’ve reviewed the basics, it’s time for you to figure out what you like and what makes you feel comfortable in the color world. Asking yourself some simple questions might be helpful. Do you like the colors in nature? If so, do you prefer the bold and bright colors that you see in the flowers or are the subtle, earth tones better for your lifestyle? Is an all-neutral color scheme relaxing to you or is it boring? You have homework to do. Get to it. Rosemary Sadez Friedmann, an interior designer in Naples, Fla., is author of “Mystery of Color.”

Garden according to phases of moon

Some believe a full moon provokes strange behavior. In the case of moon gardeners, they’re correct. When the moon is full, for example, the gardeners feel inspired to plant peas, beans and peppers. Planting by the phases of the moon has long been a part of folk wisdom, but in the past decade it has gained a wider following. Matthew Heim, 28, program manager for GrowMemphis, began experimenting with it in the spring. He planted his root, leaf and fruit crops during the recommended phases and reaped a “rolling harvest,” he said. “I always had stuff coming in.” “From a practical view, it broke up the labor in a manageable way,” he said. “It wasn’t as taxing. I was doing a little every day, and that was really nice.” And so far, so good. “I’ve got a gorgeous garden, probably one of the best I’ve grown,” he said. The idea behind lunar gardening is that plants and earth respond to the same gravitational pull as the oceans. Just as the moon pulls the tide, it also pulls water tables in the earth, causing moisture to rise in the soil, which encourages germination and growth of plants. That sounds like lunacy. But it’s part of an agricultural movement called Biodynamics, a spiritual-ethical-ecological approach that dates back to the 1920s, according to the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association. Biodynamic agriculture was developed from a series of lectures in 1924 by Austrian educator and social activist Rudolf Steiner, in Koberwitz, Germany (now in Poland). Steiner was a respected traditional scholar and cultural thinker but shocked people when he turned to developing what he called “anthroposophical spiritual science.” Like Heim, Urban Farms in Binghamton, Tenn., is following the Biodynamics calendar. “We’re planting during the waxing moon and cultivating, composting and weeding during a waning moon,” said manager Dennis O’Bryan. The farm was already using organic methods, such as avoiding chemical herbicides and pesticides and practicing crop rotation and “companion planting,” he said. O’Bryan, who became manager in May, said he was led to Biodynamics by a friend who worked in agriculture. “She lectured me at length to follow that calendar,” he said. “My sense is that it’s working, though I don’t have a developed history,” with it, he said. O’Bryan thinks its recent popularity parallels the revival of urban farms and small farms.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Incorporate travels in home decor BY MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press Summer travel leaves many of us with memories of ocean sunsets or foreign street scenes or other only-on-vacation sights. Once we’ve returned home, how can we hold onto some of that beauty and bring it into our living spaces? The weeks after a trip can be the perfect time to make small but powerful changes to your home. “I love what traveling does to people’s imaginations and to their creativity,” says Los Angeles-based interior designer Betsy Burnham. With minimal effort and expense, she says, you can live year-round with a bit of the charm and feeling of your favorite travel destinations. “You don’t have to redecorate. All you have to do is kind of pinpoint what it is that evokes the sensation of still being there.” “Look back through your photos and just think about the sense of place,” she says. “It can be as simple as a jar of shells that appears in your guest bathroom,” or as dramatic as repainting a room. Here Burnham and interior designers Kyle Schuneman (author of “The First Apartment Book: Cool Design For Small Spaces,” due out Aug. 28 from Clarkson Potter) and Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of decordemon.com, to share advice on bringing your travels into your home. “When people get stumped on colors or decorating ideas for a room they spend a lot of time in, the first thing I’ll do is ask them to think of a time and place that they went to that really made them happy,” says Flynn. For one client, he repainted a bathroom the exact shade of robin’s egg blue that was used throughout a hotel where the couple stayed during a memorable anniversary trip. “Every time she thinks of that color, it brings her back to that time before they had kids and got busy with their careers,” Flynn explains. Another client, living in Los Angeles, wanted to be reminded of his sun-drenched Australian home. “In his breakfast nook, we went with pure, bold, almost radiation yellow,” Flynn says. “It always feels sunny and reminds him of how it feels to be in Australia.” Schuneman suggests picking up similar items from different places to create a collection that will grow with each vacation. “Whether it be something free, like ticket stubs from everywhere you’ve been to together, or pottery that you can display together,” he says, “incorporating these memories are what good design is all about.” “I think creating a collection in

The green-covered space not only reminds her of cheerleading, but also wide open, green spaces.

In this image provided by Brian Patrick Flynn, the lush orange trees of California serve as inspiration in a clientís den for designer, Brian Patrick Flynn, where he layered several shades of orange throughout the space to bring vacation memories home. your home from your travels is such an important part of design,” says Schuneman. “I actually have a chapter in my book called ‘The Collector,’ as I think those collections are what are so important to making a house a home.” Burnham agrees: On her family’s first trip to Paris, her children bought inexpensive Eiffel Tower statues sold on street corners. “It’s so corny when you’re there,” she

says. But if you gather similar items during and after a trip and display them together, it becomes a design statement and conversation piece. Her family’s Eiffel Tower collection has grown over the years, and “all of a sudden we’ve got this kind of funky collection.” Flynn urges travelers to buy original, local art. Whether it depicts your destination or just

captures the area’s sensibility, the work of local painters and artisans can commemorate your trip and add beauty to your home. Local art is often extremely affordable, Flynn says, “and it’s a permanent story sitting on your walls. You’re filling the walls and telling a story about your vacation.” Along with appreciating artistic beauty, also keep natural beau-

ty in mind: Burnham suggests taking note of the plants and flowers you saw during your summer travel. If the climate is at all similar, try to use the same or similar plants in your own yard. “Maybe it’s a topiary in a pot, something European,” she says, or beach grass that evokes a sleepy seaside town you loved visiting. When you return with photos from your trip, skip traditional frames in favor of something more creative. “A great idea for displaying photos is taking some of your favorites and finding a rustic slab of wood or maybe a sleek piece of metal,” Schuneman says, and decoupaging the photos in a random pattern. “For little or no money, you have a cool art piece that will forever be a memory board and can be customized to just your taste and the trip’s feeling.” As you look through travel photos or remember favorite spots, think about the details: Maybe you saw unique, beautiful doors in a city or town you visited, Burnham says. “How about changing your front door hardware to something that’s really like a Londoner would have? It’s those kinds of touches,” she says, like painting a door the same color as doors you saw on a trip, that keep a trip with you. “It becomes a conversation piece” when people visit, she says.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
