Every turn of the page holds a new adventure for Troy’s littlest readers thanks to a new literature-based preschool at the Troy Rec. Janet Larck, co-director of Smart Start Preschool, said the Rec once again will host a preschool program for the community beginning Sept. 4. “This is a new venture for the Rec,” said Janet Larck, a codirector of the Smart Start Preschool. “We’ve been looking for some new ways to expand our services to the community as a whole and this was a need we saw in our community.” The preschool will be held
Turnpike heads off cheating BEREA (AP) — The Ohio Turnpike has put a stop to an estimated $50,000-a-year scam involving truck drivers who managed to duck part of their tolls. Truckers cheated automated fare machines to save up to $40 a trip across the 241-mile toll road, says David Miller, the turnpike’s director of audit and internal control. See Page A5.
The Troy Rec Board of Directors has annouced that Nicole Hanes has been hired as the new executive director of The Rec, effective immediately. Hanes is a graduate of Graham High School and Wright State University.

Once the class is full, a waiting list will be provided. “I’m a book lover and this is right up my alley,” she said. “We’ll do just the favorite, old, wonderful stories — just good kid stories — I’m so excited I can’t wait!” Larck said the day will be based around the book with activities to follow. “We want to take the best of the best of children’s books,” she said. “It’s so important to me to put a book in their hands, even at 3 or 4 years of age.” Larck said the before- and after-school program she has

THE VILLAGES, Fla. (AP) — Who loves Medicare more?

Festival • Continued from A1 too,” said Matsuda, who is the Japanese regional ambassador for Ohio and Michigan. With his office based in Detroit, Matsuda said he couldn’t miss the opportunity to attend the 19th annual festival, for which Japan was the featured nation. Selecting Japan as the featured delegation was especially appropriate, given Troy’s many Japanese businesses and its relationship with sister city Takahashi City. Troy student delegates also recently visited Japan. “Troy is home to many Japanese companies,” Matsuda said. “Companies already here plan to expand production and hire more people.” Ohio is vitally important for Japanese investment, second only to California in the U.S., Matsuda said. Promising industries include automobiles, pharmaceuticals, energy and agriculture, he added. Matsuda sampled food along with Beamish and city of Troy intern Michael Ham, who was an announcer for the festival. Beamish had only posi-
Festival of Nations made some changes The Festival of Nations kicked off at 2 p.m. instead of the usual 4, at the request of the delegations, who said they wanted more time for set-up earlier in the day. Festivities ended at 8 p.m. instead of 9. Another parade was added this year for children of the delegations, in addition to the traditional kick-off parade. With classes at Western Ohio Japanese Language School on Saturdays, many Japanese children could not attend the first parade at 2 p.m. but participated in large numbers at the 4 p.m. children’s parade. By mid-afternoon, festival co-chair Chris Daniel estimated that attendance had already surpassed last year’s. Delegations and attendees were largely supportive of the site between the river levee and the visitors seating of Troy High School Memorial Stadium, where it was held for the second year in place of the Public Square due to safety and transportation issues related to the Adams Street bridge construction. “It’s the perfect international village,” Daniel said. “Our biggest worry right now is that we don’t run out of food.” Tatiana Castro of the Colombia delegation said she was supportive of the levee location. Her family has been selling cuisine from Dayton restaurant El Meson for years at the festival. “We like the location better. It’s closer together, and more about family,” Castro said. tive comments about the event. “I just think today’s festival was perfect. It was perfect with the participation, with the crowds that came out, with the look of the international village and with the performers. It was wonderful,” Beamish said. “It’s one of those things that shows what a community can do when you come together for a common cause. Nothing but positive comments from people coming up and talking to me.” He thanked festival
chairs Chris and Kasey Daniel as well as the other volunteers. Chris said he and his wife were overwhelmingly pleased with the event, saying it turned out even better than they had anticipated. “It’s awesome — it’s a wonderful turnout,” Chris said. “The host country of Japan has just been outstanding throughout the whole process. We’ve got even more countries and people here than last year. And there’s great weather, so what more could we ask for?” India delegates Nihar
Saksena, 13, and Sri Madireddy, 13, performed a traditional dance, called Bharatanatyam. The two have performed since they were 6. “It’s about grace, movement and expression. It tells a story,” Saksena said. Entertainment for the afternoon and evening included the Hiuchi Taiko drummers and Okinawa ShorinRyu Karate Dojo, along with two parades, dances, musicians, storytellers, games, face-painting and more. Representing Colombia,
El Meson owners Gloria and Herman Castro and their granddaughter Tatiana Castro were selling arepas — sweet corn dough with cheese melted in the middle — and empanadas — turnovers with chicken, rice and potato inside. Tatiana’s friend Chelsea Meade also was helping out. The owners of the Dayton restaurant have been a part of the festival for more years than they can recall. “We were very impressed with the city. It’s a city that likes to introduce different nations,” Gloria said. Quincy Wong, 32, of Columbus said his wife Lydia saw a listing for the Festival of Nations online and decided to go with their friends Jon and Icy Lo. He was impressed with Troy and the authenticity of the experience. “We’ve never been to Troy before; it’s very peaceful,” said Wong, who moved to Ohio from Hong Kong 14 years ago. “We wanted to see the different nations. The people at the booth seem like they live in that country now.” Japanese artist Mayumi Makino Kiefer

Kiefer displayed a complex piece that was her thesis project at Ohio Northern University. Matted on white, 12 pictures were carved of clay — six images of Japanese landmarks and landscapes and six U.S. sites. Kiefer sought to depict the commonalities as well as differences in nature and culture. “I wanted to show that this is my country, and this also is my country,” she said, first gesturing to Japanese images and then to corresponding American images. “It’s about color, nature and people.” The festival was sponsored by the Troy Foundation, city of Troy, Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, the Japanese delegation, Koverman-Dickerson and Dave Insurance Arbogast GMC/Buick.

Senator Museum prepares wins award for space shuttle trainer COLUMBUS – State Sen. Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City) has announced he has received the Champion of Small Business award from the National Coalition for Capital. The award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated strong leadership in supporting policies that promote greater access to capital for small businesses and BEAGLE entrepreneurs, specifically those in economically distressed communities. “Ensuring that small businesses have ready access to capital is a crucial element to achieving economic recovery in the Miami Valley and the state of Ohio,” Beagle said. “I am honored to be recognized, and I will continue to support the entrepreneurs who create jobs and opportunity for Ohio families.” Beagle has introduced legislation, along with Sen. Charleta Tavares (DColumbus) to expand Ohio’s New Market Tax Credit Program, which provides an incentive for private investment in businesses in lowincome communities. The National Coalition for Capital is a nonprofit, nationwide coalition of leaders supporting economic development and job creation through long-term access to capital for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Beagle received the award as a part of the organization’s annual awards ceremony Aug. 8 in Chicago, Ill.
DAYTON (AP) — A long-awaited NASA space shuttle trainer is expected to arrive next week at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in southwest Ohio. Workers have been preparing for the shuttle’s crew compartment trainer that will arrive on a transport aircraft. The trainer was one of three that astronauts trained in to prepare for space shuttle missions. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will load the three-decade-old trainer on the “Super Guppy,” a whale-shaped turboprop aircraft that has hauled International Space Station components from Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The trainer was kept in Johnson Space Center’s Space Vehicle Mockup Facility for more than three decades. Museum aircraft restoration workers will rearrange military aircraft in the museum’s Cold War Gallery, where the crew compartment trainer will be displayed until a new hangar is built, museum spokeswoman Sarah Swan said.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on Olympic tax loopholes: Olympic athletes are very special people. But are they more special than, say, Nobel Prize winners, or police officers, or nurses, or spiritual gurus, or brilliant inventors or researchers whose discoveries enhance our lives? If an election year happens to fall in an Olympics year, yes. Both presidential candidates have embraced an astonishingly silly but highly populist measure in Congress to exempt Olympic medalists from taxes, an idea that, naturally, originated with that bastion of silly but populist tax proposals, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform. The U.S. Olympic Committee awards honorariums in the amount of $25,000 for each gold medal, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze, which means, Norquist’s group sputters, that a gold medalist would be on the hook to send up to $8,986 of his or her winnings to the IRS. Never mind that the fact-checking organization PolitiFact ruled this claim “Mostly False,” because any decent accountant could reduce that tax bite to as little as zero by deducting the expenses paid to win that medal, such as travel, uniforms, classes, payments to coaches, cost of equipment, etc. Republicans, with some Democratic support, quickly sponsored legislation in the House and Senate to make Norquist’s notion law, and the White House weighed in by saying that if Congress approves the bill, President Barack Obama will sign it. Why? There’s no legitimate tax policy reason. Politicians in both parties complain endlessly about the complexity of the U.S. tax code and its many needless loopholes, yet they’re only too happy to add to the complexity and drill another loophole in an election season when liberals and conservatives alike are rooting for Team USA in London. This mindless bill should be rejected with the authority of a Kerri Walsh Jennings block. The Sun Herald, Biloxi, Miss., on NASA: The next time you use your cellphone, watch satellite-delivered television programming, use a cordless power tool, drive on enhanced radial tires, drink a bottle of purified water or find your way with a GPS device, thank the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. From medical advancements to aircraft anti-collision warning systems to personal computers, NASA scientists and contractors advancing our space program invented, developed or improved the technology that made all of these conveniences possible. It’s hard to imagine what our lives would be like today if the American people had not accepted space exploration as a national priority in the 1960s. The incredible challenge of designing and building rockets that could soar around the earth, the guidance systems to direct these rockets to the moon, the need for small, lightweight technology that can manage volumes of data at one time, the food and clothing that would allow a human to leave the earth and travel through almost unimaginable temperature changes and weightlessness, all required the development of technologies at a level of sophistication previously unknown. Through the Apollo and Shuttle programs, the demands on NASA and its contractors and the ability to conduct scientific experiments in the pristine atmosphere of space required even more advance technologies. But it also meant that in giving NASA what it needed, those same technologies could be applied to other purposes. … Despite the exciting landing of the Curiosity Mars mission, many Americans — and many politicians — are quick to point to NASA as a multibillion-dollar budget item we don’t need. Put those dollars to social programs, they argue. Use the money to create jobs. Let’s not be too hasty to bite a big hand that literally does feed us.

Music(ians) and politics simply don’t get along Oh, what terrible music politics makes. When the two collide, nothing good ever happens. And the past couple of days have been nothing but the worst possible mix of musicians making statements about the world — and politicians being incredibly stupid about it. The worst example of this also had horrible ramifications for the entire world, as it was a return-to-Cold-War form for Russia and stamping out its citizens’ freedom to speak out against the government. In March, feminist punk rock band P***y Riot (speaking of free speech limitations … it’s a proper name, for goodness sake) entered the Christ the Savior Cathedral and performed a prayer in song form praying for the ouster of Russian president Vladimir Putin. They were arrested and have been held in custody ever since — and rumors abound that they were tortured, starved and otherwise mistreated up to the day of the sentencing on Friday, when they were sentenced to two years hard labor for the crime of “hooliganism.” But I — and the rest of the world — call shenanigans. Putin recently returned to power, winning a rigged election — much like Mitt Romney will in the U.S.
ted hooliganism driven by religious hatred,” said the judge, according to an article in the UK’s Guardian newspaper. Right. Because religion was so obviously the target of their ire. Anyone with a semi-functioning brain can see that Putin doesn’t like people speaking out about his ill-gotten power, and he’ll do anything to Josh Brown silence his opposition — just like the Troy Daily News Columnist Soviet Union’s Communist leaders of old. And in the same Guardian articome November due to voter intimidation and suppression practices like cle, it mentions how “Putin hoped the the early voting restrictions in states sentencing was not ‘too severe’” — which, I imagine, he said with his like Ohio — to grant himself a third tongue planted firmly in his cheek term. The band, like many Russian citi- while raising his pinky finger to his zens, weren’t pleased — so in typical mouth in the style of Doctor Evil from punk fashion, they decided to make a the Austin Powers movies. But hey, that’s Russia. We have show of it. From the symbolic locale of our own power-mad politicians right the Russian Orthodox church’s here. But instead of being a dastardly, biggest landmark, they performed a despicable human rights/freedom of flash-mob style performance of a speech kind of issue, Paul Ryan vs. song, praying for the Holy Mother to Rage Against the Machine is simply “send Putin packing.” hilarious. Using the state religion as an Mitt Romney’s new vice presidenexcuse (which is a good reason why no country should ever declare one — tial running mate cited the band as one of his favorites, but when later even if technically the R.O.C. isn’t considered the state’s religion, it sure confronted with some of the band’s acts like one) and speaking through a actual lyrics and their message, he copped out by saying that he “likes mouthpiece of a judge, Putin may as well have handed the sentence down Rage’s sound, but not the lyrics.” himself. The band members “commitIt’s hilarious because, with his
denial of equal rights to women and gays and his desire to help the ultrarich deliver a permanent curb stomp to the back of the poor’s collective head, Ryan IS The Machine. And Rage’s guitarist Tom Morello said as much in a recent Rolling Stone Magazine interview. “Don’t mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lot of ‘rage’ in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment,” Morello said. “Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions.” And once Romney finishes his victory, I’m sure he and Ryan will start building American versions of Russian gulags — and toss Rage Against the Machine and anyone else courageous enough to speak out against them right in. After all, they’ve already heard that song: Putin just gave them the perfect tutorial on how it’s done. It’s just up to them to cover it. World politics is the worst kind of music.

OBITUARIES
DOUGLAS A. YANEY
BEREA (AP) — The Ohio Turnpike has put a stop to an estimated $50,000-ayear scam involving truck drivers who managed to duck part of their tolls. Truckers cheated automated fare machines to save up to $40 a trip across the 241-mile toll road, says David Miller, the turnpike’s director of audit and internal control. Turnpike officials told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (bit.ly/Pmm0S6) that the turnpike updated its toll-collecting system in July to deter the scam. The machines now charge drivers a full, crossstate toll if a ticket shows they traveled only a few exits but entered the turnpike many hours before, Executive Director Richard Hodges said Monday. The scam worked this way: A trucker taking a ticket at the turnpike’s entry near Indiana would travel across Ohio and claim the ticket was lost when he hit the last interchange before Pennsylvania.
The trucker would pay $44 for the “lost” ticket, the same he’d pay if he had turned in the ticket. After delivering his load to the east, the trucker would head back on the turnpike. Instead of crossing the state and paying another $44, the trucker would leave the turnpike several exits before the Indiana border and feed the “lost” ticket to an automated fare machine. Toll tickets don’t designate east or west travel. To the machine, the trucker had traveled only a short distance from the Indiana border and would pay, depending on the exit, a toll less than $10, turnpike officials said. Toll collectors are trained to pick up on the scam by noting excessive time 24 hours or more between the truck entry and exit. A number of interchanges in western Ohio no longer have manned toll booths and one year ago officials noticed the number of tickets showing short trips, but long durations, were on
the rise at unmanned exits, Miller said. The staff counted hundreds of questionable toll tickets over six months, Miller said. One ticket showed a time lapse of 11 months between entry and exit. In July, the turnpike fixed the system so that truckers must pay a full, cross-state fare if they exceed a certain time limit between entry and exit on the toll road. Hodges did not want to publicize the time limit to avoid tipping truckers who like to game the system. Hodges said the fix is working and the number of questionable tickets is declining. “There’s drivers out there who would do anything to save a buck,” said Victor Kislyanka, 21, of Sacramento, Calif., who stopped his rig at a Richfield truck stop near the turnpike and Interstate 77. “I personally don’t understand it.”
Antiques business provides props Movie set designer visits Cincinnati warehouse CINCINNATI (AP) — A year ago, Antiques Warehouse owner Gary Neltner got an online inquiry from a woman who needed birdhouses. “It was just by chance that I asked her what she needed them for,” said Neltner. “I told her if she needed anything for a movie, I’ve got it in every color and size.” Soon, set designer Kris Moran, whose credits include “Good Will Hunting” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” visited his three-story warehouse near Interstate 75. Moran “just went crazy” picking out lanterns, whistles, slingshots, oars, flotation cushions, board games and bumper stickers. Now, while other moviegoers watch Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton in “Moonrise Kingdom,” Neltner looks for
his sleeping bags, birdhouse and red flashing police car light and siren. Neltner ended up driving a truckload of rented props to the Rhode Island movie location last year. He provided more than 500 items for the quirky comedy-drama written and directed by Wes Anderson. The film is set in 1965, about adults hunting for a 12-year-old scout who runs away with a 12-year-old girl. “I saw the siren on the police car and thought, ‘We’re going to see lots of things.’ But you’ve really got to look for them. They’re hidden in the background,” said Neltner, 56, of Cold Spring, a collector and antiques dealer since 1985. Most of the items ended up on the cutting room floor or never left the prop room. Only a couple of items play a key role in the film:
• The siren and red flashing light atop the sheriff’s cruiser driven by Capt. Sharp (Willis). • The plaid-lined sleeping bag neatly folded by Khaki Scout Sam (newcomer Jared Gilman) when he sneaks off to meet girlfriend Suzy Bishop (newcomer Kara Hayward). A handful of other things have a visible background role a bear rug in Suzy’s New England home; rows of Husman’s cans in the scout camp commissary; and the red-and-white camp ice chest. For a few seconds, when Sam and Suzy hike across a field, on the horizon, moviegoers can see the huge birdhouse that lured Moran. “It’s amazing how much detail they put into that shot. It’s way off in the distance,” said Al Ehrman Jr., 35, Neltner’s nephew and lone full-time employee.
Marshals hunting for treasure salvager from Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — In the late 1980s, Tommy Thompson was the hunter, searching for and retrieving millions of dollars in gold bars and coins from a ship that sank in a hurricane off the North Carolina coast. Now, he’s the hunted, the subject of an arrest warrant for failing to appear in court in Ohio in one of the lengthy legal fights that followed the discovery. A federal judge in Ohio
ordered the warrant for Thompson this week after he failed to appear in court in a case that has gone on for more than six years. U.S. Marshals said they’re following tips from the public in hopes of locating Thompson, who is believed to have a home in eastern Florida. The situation stems from a lawsuit by seamen who claimed they’re entitled to about 2 percent of sale pro-

Trucks roll through Olmsted Township on the Ohio Turnpike Aug. 15. Turnpike officials say they have nipped a growing problem with truckers scamming the toll road’s automated payment machines to the tune of $50,000 or more a year. Using a “classic ticket swap,” truckers gamed the fare machines to save up to $40 a trip across the 241-mile toll road.

Bulldogs second at Schroeder Staff Reports A championship at one spot and a runner-up finish as a team. Not a bad way to follow up after the first match of the season for the Milton-Union Bulldogs. After falling to perennial power Oakwood to open the season, Milton-Union rebounded at the Schroeder Invitational Saturday at the Schroeder Tennis Center by finishing second with 32 points. Chaminade Julienne won with 38. “I was proud of how well we did,” Milton-Union coach Sharon Paul said. “We have three girls who were playing in their first varsity tournament, and they competed very well.
TIPP CITY “CJ has three tough singles players and a nice team overall. They deserved to win. It is no disgrace to finish second to them.” The Bulldogs’ doubles team of Claire Fetters and Kayla Smith won the first doubles championship. They blanked St. Marys 80 and knocked off Northwestern in a 9-8 (9-7) tiebreaker, then defeated Celina 8-6 in the finals. Brooke Falb finished second at first singles. She beat Celina’s Brianna Beougher 8-3 and Northwestern’s Chelsie Brandeberry 8-0 before falling to CJ’s Natalie Allen 8-0 in the final.

Cueto leads team to 5-3 win in opener CINCINNATI (AP) — Johnny Cueto knows how to prepare for day games, and his routine is working out quite well for him. Cueto pitched eight crisp innings, Todd Frazier hit a goahead homer for the second straight game and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Saturday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. “Don’t get me wrong,” Cueto said through an interpreter after improving to 11-0 with a 1.62 ERA in 13 day games this season. “I like throwing at night, but I like pitching in the day, too. It’s not really different. It’s all in how I get prepared the night before day games.” Xavier Paul and Miguel Cairo added their first home runs of the season as the Reds roughed up another Chicago starting pitcher for three home runs. They hit three off Travis Wood in a 7-3 win on Friday night and three more off Jeff Samardzija. Cueto (16-6) settled down after allowing Alfonso Soriano’s two-run homer in the first. The right-hander gave up three hits and struck out eight, drawing a

Trojans tie Warriors BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Trojan goalie Matthew Carr stunned the Lebanon faithful that had made the trip to Troy Saturday night, diving and making a phenomenal one-handed save to help Troy hold onto a onegoal lead.

USC brushes off sanctions for top spot in poll NEW YORK (AP) — Southern California is No. 1 in the AP Top 25, tossing off the weight of NCAA sanctions and returning to a familiar place in the rankings — with a boost from LSU’s problems. USC earned the top spot in The Associated Press’ preseason college football poll for the seventh time in school history and the first time in five seasons, edging out No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 LSU. The Trojans, who were banned from postseason play the past two seasons, received 25 of a possible 60 first-place votes from a media panel in a close vote. USC received 1,445 points. Defending national champion Alabama had 17 firstplace votes and 1,411 points while LSU, the Crimson Tide’s SEC rival, got 16 firstplace votes and 1,402 points. “We definitely didn’t come here to be underdogs,”
Trojans safety T.J. McDonald said Saturday. “The ranking doesn’t mean we’ve done anything as a team. But it’s good to see we’re back where we’re supposed to be.” Oklahoma was fourth with a single first-place vote and Oregon was fifth. Michigan, at No. 8, received the only other first-place vote. The Tigers were poised to start the season No. 1 before Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu got kicked off the team a week ago. In light of that development, the AP extended the voting deadline. Before Mathieu was dismissed, reportedly for failed drug tests, LSU had received 28 of a possible 60 first-place votes. USC was a close second with 22 first-place votes and Alabama was third with nine. The USA Today coaches’ poll, which was released Aug. 2, had LSU at No. 1, fol-

lowed by Alabama and USC. Rounding out the top 10 in the AP rankings, Georgia was No. 6, followed by Florida State and Michigan. No. 9 South Carolina and No. 10 Arkansas give the Southeastern Conference half of the first 10 teams. For the Trojans, their return to national championship contention comes just two years after the program was hit by NCAA sanctions that seemed crippling at the time. “To be handed down what they said could be a death penalty, could take USC 10 years to come back from, then to have this recognition and be preseason No. 1 is very exciting for our fans because a lot people thought two years ago that this would not be possible for USC,” coach Lane Kiffin told the AP. Kiffin was an assistant coach for USC during its last great run. From 2001-09
under coach Pete Carroll, the Trojans won two national titles and played for a third, made seven straight BCS appearances and had three Heisman Trophy winners in Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush. At one point, USC spent a record 33 straight weeks at No. 1. But Carroll left for the NFL after the 2009 season and Kiffin was hired to replace him. A few months later the NCAA hit USC with a two-year bowl ban, plus scholarship limitations and probation because Bush and his family received impermissible benefits. USC went 8-5 in 2010, then charged back to 10-2 last season. And when star quarterback Matt Barkley decided to stick around for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft, the Trojans, free from the bowl ban, were set to make a run at No. 1. “There’s not a roof over
our heads now,” McDonald said. And USC is once again trendy in Los Angeles. “Do you feel that? Sure you do,” Kiffin said. “Games already sold out. Just the energy around it. All those different things. That’s how it was before. I’ve talked to these players about it.” With Barkley, the preseason Heisman favorite, along with receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, plus running backs Curtis McNeal and Penn State transfer Silas Redd, these Trojans have drawn comparisons to those great Leinart/Bush offenses. The rest of the Top 25 was heavy on Big 12 and Big Ten teams. Big 12 newcomer West Virginia was 11th, followed by Big Ten rivals Wisconsin and Michigan State. The Big 12 also placed Texas (No. 15), Oklahoma State (No. 19), TCU (No. 20)
and Kansas State (No. 22) in the rankings to give the league six teams overall, matching the SEC for the most. No. 23 Florida is the sixth SEC squad. The Big Ten added Nebraska (No. 17) and Ohio State (No. 18) for a total of five teams. The Buckeyes, in their first season under coach Urban Meyer, are banned for the postseason this season because of NCAA sanctions. Defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion Clemson (No. 14) and Virginia Tech (No. 16) give the ACC three teams in the Top 25. No. 21 Stanford is the third Pac-12 team in the poll. No. 24 Boise State is ranked in the preseason for the fourth straight year and No. 25 Louisville is the only Big East school in the rankings.

Roger Federer hits a return against Stanislas Wawrinka during a semifinals match at the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament on Saturday in Mason.
Stars shine at Southern Open Djokovic, Federer reach semis MASON (AP) — No medal involved this time. Little drama, either. Novak Djokovic simply ground his way to another title shot. And Roger Federer will be waiting for him. Djokovic reached the finals of the Western & Southern Open for the second straight year Saturday, beating Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-2 in a reprise of their meeting in the Olympics. Del Potro defeated Djokovic for the bronze medal on Wimbledon’s lush grass two weeks ago. The sequel on a hard court? Not even close. The final will match the world’s top two players, the first time that’s happened in Cincinnati. If Federer wins, it’ll give him a record five titles in the tournament. “It’s a nice bonus, really,” Federer said. “When I was a kid I wasn’t thinking of winning five Cincinnatis, but then again here I am in this great situation being able to do it, the first man ever. So I’m obviously excited. Very often when I do now reach a finals there is something on the line. Here we go there is something there.” Top-ranked Federer beat Swiss countryman Stanislas Wawrinka 7-6
(4), 6-3 in the other semifinal. It’ll be the seventh time that Federer and Djokovic have played for a tournament title, the last time in 2011 at Dubai. Federer beat Djokovic for the Cincinnati title in 2009. Federer leads the career series 15-12, but it’s taken a few interesting turns lately. Djokovic beat him in the semifinals at the U.S. Open last year, then again in the semis at Rome and the French Open. Federer got the upper hand again in the semifinals at Wimbledon. “I hope I’m fresher than him tomorrow,” Federer said. “We’ll see how it goes.” Djokovic also reached the Cincinnati final last year but had to quit in the second set because of a sore shoulder, giving the title to Andy Murray. This week is going much better for him. He won the Rogers Cup in Toronto last Sunday night, leaving him a little tired, but he managed to get some rest at the suburban Cincinnati tournament. He was on court for only a half-hour Thursday night, when Nikolay Davydenko had to quit their match because of a sore shoulder.
MONTREAL (AP) — Jacques Villeneuve was in the driver’s seat heading to the white flag, more than 20 car lengths ahead and his first victory in NASCAR just a lap away on the track named for his dad. Then, in the blink of an eye, Justin Allgaier bumped past him for the victory Saturday in a Nationwide race as a stunned crowd at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve recoiled in disbelief. “It’s tough when you have a driver who has his last name on the race track,” Allgaier said after his second victory of the season and third of his career. “Obviously, this is a big race for him and a big venue.” Having maintained the top spot through restart after restart in the final laps of a race that went six extra circuits around the 14-turn, 2.7-mile layout, Villeneuve was running low on fuel and kept turning off the engine of his No. 22 Dodge to conserve. What seemed like an insurmountable lead vanished on the last lap. Allgaier closed in a hurry as Villeneuve suddenly slowed and was hit from behind. “I don’t know if he went into protect mode,” Allgaier said. “We knew he was going to be close on gas. My first thought was he was out. I had too much steam running my normal pace, and we got together. I’m sure he’s not happy about that, but I know that the 30 (polesitter Alex Tagliani) got taken out by that car. I guess at the end of the day what goes around comes around.” Villeneuve should know. He took out Danica Patrick at Road America on the final lap in June, depriving her of a top-five finish, and bumped Tagliani, a Montreal native, out of the lead late in Saturday’s race. Tagliani finished 22nd. “We got together,” Villeneuve said. “He was really slow and just blocking, braking on the inside and the guys behind me

We tangled a little bit and I thought it would be all right. I didn’t get off the gas because I didn’t want the cars behind me to catch me, and I ended up turning him around. “That’s a shame for him. That wasn’t my intention, but at that point I couldn’t just stay behind him.” Villeneuve, who started third, survived three late restarts in a wild race that saw Patrick lead 20 laps. “We were the quickest car out there,” said Villeneuve, who led 43 laps. “When you run in the front all day and get taken out on the last lap, it’s just frustrating. I guess that’s life. When it’s a mistake, you let it go, but when it seems to be done on purpose, that gets a little bit annoying.” Sam Hornish Jr. finished second and Villeneuve was third, giving Dodge two in the top three. Elliott Sadler and Ron Fellows rounded out the top five. Hornish’s finish put him in a tie for second in Nationwide
points with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who was strong with the laps winding down but spun out challenging for the lead and finished 12th. Kyle Busch, who flew in from the Cup race in Michigan to drive his No. 54 Toyota, arrived about 2 hours before the green flag, started at the back of the field because of a driver change Owen Kelly qualified fifth for Busch on Friday and finished 10th after briefly challenging Villeneuve for the lead with 20 laps left. Patrick also ran second to Villeneuve for another 12 laps before she suffered a broken rear axle after her No. 7 Chevy hit a shoe thrown on the track while she was tracking Villeneuve in her rearview mirror. She finished 27th. “How disappointing! What can I say?” Patrick said. “We’ve got to get some luck sometime. At the end of the day, I just can’t believe how unlucky we’ve been. It’s got to come.”
Villeneuve had regained the lead by spinning Tagliani around on lap 67 of the race, which was scheduled to go 74. Tagliani had passed both Villeneuve and Hornish for the lead with an aggressive move in the first turn, with Hornish sliding off course after heavy contact with Michael McDowell. After Hornish recovered, he and Patrick collided after Kyle Kelley spun Patrick. Villeneuve then built a lead that seemed insurmountable but eventually was done in by the flurry of late cautions. He ran out of fuel driving to the pits, stopping briefly by Allgaier’s No. 31 Chevy to express his frustration. For Allgaier, it was a lesson learned. He was concerned about crew chief Jimmy Elledge’s pit strategy Allgaier had plenty of fuel because Elledge was counting on extra laps at the end and planned accordingly and figured he was running for second until that final lap.

Garcia shoots 66, takes 1-stroke lead at Wyndham GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — No lead is ever really safe at birdie-friendly Sedgefield Country Club. The last time Sergio Garcia played here, he learned that the hard way. Garcia shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take the lead at 14-under 196 after three rounds at the Wyndham Championship. It’s a familiar spot for the Spaniard, who shared the third-round lead in 2009 but wound up finishing fourth after falling a stroke shy of a three-man
playoff. “Eighteen pars are not going to win it,” Garcia said. “You have to make some birdies out there. … I don’t have a number. I’m not going to say I need to shoot 4 under, 5 under, or whatever. Someone might go out and shoot 9 under, and 5 under’s not good enough.” Tim Clark and Bud Cauley were a stroke back, and Jason Dufner, Harris English and Carl Pettersson were at 12 under in the last event before the FedEx Cup play-
offs. Dufner shot a 63 the day’s best round. Cauley had a 66, Clark shot a 67, and English and Pettersson had 68s. Garcia whose secondround 63 marked his best PGA Tour round in a decade made a move with consecutive birdies midway through the back nine that briefly helped him leapfrog his playing partner, Clark. Garcia plopped his tee shot 4 feet from the flagstick on the par-3 12th and tapped in, then followed
that with a birdie on No. 13 to move to 14 under. Then, after just his second bogey of the tournament, he bounced back with a birdie on No. 15. If he can keep it rolling for one more round, he might claim his first win on the tour since 2008 and strengthen his chances to make the European Ryder Cup team. “Winning means a lot, no matter what,” Garcia said. Clark might have had the lead comfortably to himself, had he not missed
short birdie putts on consecutive holes midway through the back nine. Instead, he’ll have to settle for a share of second place with Cauley, who had three straight late birdies. “Today, the scoring was out there and obviously, the leaders didn’t really get away from anyone,” Clark said. “I felt like we all could have gone a little bit lower, but it’s going to be the same tomorrow, really. A shootout. There’s so many guys, probably, still in this tournament.”
• Dick’s Sporting Goods ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Through two rounds at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open, John Huston is playing a lot like he did last year when he won his lone Champions Tour title. The defending champion’s drives are still off the mark, but his putts are right on target. In the final round a year ago, though, he started hitting the ball off the tee like he wanted and cruised to a threestroke victory.

Boys .600 (15 for 25) with three homers and 11 RBIs in 10 games against the Cubs this season. “I don’t know what it is,” said Frazier, a leading contender for NL Rookie of the Year. “It’s crazy. I’m comfortable against them and confident, like always. When I’m at the plate, I feel like I can some damage.” Soriano drove a 3-2 pitch 433 feet into the second deck in left field with two outs in the first inning for his 22nd homer. The two RBIs gave Soriano 1,000 for his career. The Reds responded in the second. Frazier led off with a single up the middle and Paul followed with a 381-foot line drive into the right-field seats on a 2-0 pitch. Frazier led off the fourth with a drive to the first row of the second deck in left for his 17th homer and third in four games. He also had a two-run shot Friday night that gave the Reds a 4-3 lead. Cairo added a one-out shot to left on a 1-2 pitch for his first homer since Sept. 21 against Houston, making it 4-2. Brett Jackson hit his first career home run to help Brooks Raley earn his first major league win, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 9-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and a split of their day-night doubleheader on Saturday. Starlin Castro had three hits and two RBIs as the Cubs rebounded after losing the first two in the four-game weekend series. David DeJesus added his fifth home run of the season in the ninth.
■ CONTINUED FROM A7 a one-on-one breakaway against the goalie — amounted to zero balls finding the back of the net. “In the second half, we didn’t control the ball like we did in the first,” Troy coach Richard Phillips said. “We didn’t play as direct as we should have to keep them on their heels. “We had our scoring chances. We missed a penalty kick and a one-on-one. You have to take advantage of those, you have to put them away when you have a chance.” Andrew Bricker learned that lesson in the first half, though — and the Trojans took the lead off of it. With eight minutes left in the first half, Daniel Carey sent a cross in to Bricker, standing all alone in front of the goal, but Bricker couldn’t pull the trigger, and the game remained scoreless … until five minutes later when Bricker got a second chance. Carey sent another ball to him in front, and this time he blasted it in for the Trojans’ first goal of the season. Troy’s penalty kick chance came with 22:40 left in the game, as Carey drilled the ball off the crossbar. He got his own rebound and fired off another attempt, but that one was deflected out of bounds. And soon after, the Warriors began to turn momentum their way. “When you keep possession of the ball, you create opportunities for yourself. At times we couldn’t get behind the defense in the first half, so we had to be more direct in the second — and we just didn’t do that,” Phillips said.

“And they came at us harder with their transition game as a result.” But no matter what Lebanon did, it couldn’t find a way to get the ball past Carr. Direct kicks, crosses, shots from 40 yards out — he deflected or collected them all. With 16 minutes to go, he stuffed a breakaway by Emmett Kresslein — who had tied the game in the first half by deking his way to a breakaway goal. This time when Kresslein went for a deke, Carr dove and covered up the ball before Kresslein could get it back on his foot. Carr’s biggest save came with 10 minutes to go as Kresslein fired a curving shot at the far post from 30 yards away. But even with the ball seeming like it would hook out of his reach, Carr was able to dive and
get one hand on it. “That was his best save of the night,” Phillips said. “That ball was going away from him. It was an extremely good shot. Matthew played a great game tonight.” But Carr was hurt on the play, and with 6:25 to go, Janusz hit a shot to the far post that he just couldn’t get to in time, and the score was tied at 2-2. Carr was forced to exit the game, leaving it up to emergency JV callup Alex Williams to preserve the tie. Williams was never test-
ed, though, only being forced to make one save on a direct kick from 40 yards away. And Troy threatened at the very end, earning a corner kick with 10 seconds on the clock, but it just wasn’t enough time to set up a good play, and both teams were forced to settle for a tie. “We’re a young team, and we don’t have that experience yet,” Phillips said. “Next time, they’ll know to put it away when they have a chance to.” Next time will come Tuesday night on the road at Centerville.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM
For suburbs, challenge is to lure tourists Metro NYC competes for travelers’
dollars WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — The Empire State Building casts a long shadow. Suburbs in the metropolitan area are stepping up efforts to attract tourist dollars, but they have to deal with the proximity of New York City, the country’s biggest magnet for visitors and their money. “We’re definitely in the position of looking to steal some of the crumbs,” said Kristen Matejka of the Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau. New York City’s tourism industry brought in $32 billion and supported about 320,000 jobs last year, when more than 50 million people visited Gotham. In contrast, neighboring Westchester County says tourism was worth $1.7 billion. Long Island counted $4.8 billion. So how do the island and the Hudson Valley compete with the city that doesn’t sleep? They don’t. “New York City is a major draw, like a London, a Las Vegas, an Orlando,” said Natasha Caputo, Westchester’s tourism director. “We’re not competing with Orlando. “What we try to show is we’re an extension of New York City, enhancing that New York state of mind,” she said.

A tourist poses with cadets for a photo as others wait their turn during a tour of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., Aug. 3. Suburbs in the New York metropolitan area are stepping up their efforts to attract tourist dollars, not by competing with New York City, but by marketing themselves as complementary destinations. There’s no Broadway or Museum of Modern Art or Yankee Stadium, but there are highly regarded community theaters, regional museums and minor league baseball. The suburbs can also brag that they have a few things the city doesn’t. “New York doesn’t have the specific ocean beaches we have,” Matejka said. It also can’t offer Halloween celebrations focused on the Sleepy Hollow legend in Westchester. And it doesn’t have
John Schieneman, who operates West Point Tours under an Army contract. So tourist agencies do their best to take advantage of New York City’s draw. They also narrow their marketing area, in general, to a few hundred miles. Dave and Deb Maciewicz are in that target zone. They were visiting West Point this month from their home in Barneveld, N.Y., about 200 miles away. “We love the Hudson Valley,”
the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, which attracted about 211,000 visitors last year. But rare is the visitor who comes from Texas or Timbuktu just to see the Hamptons, the Headless Horseman or the Long Gray Line. “I would be hard-pressed to think anyone is making a special trip to this area from a distance just to see West Point unless they’re an old West Pointer or they have a military background,” said
said Dave Maciewicz, 63, a controller at a nonprofit agency. They’ve been to West Point a couple of times, to the Franklin D. Roosevelt homestead in Hyde Park and the nearby Culinary Institute of America. But they also love Christmas in New York City, the Bronx Zoo and the racetrack at Saratoga, said Deb Maciewicz, 58, a registered nurse. Not all the visitors live within driving distance. Feeding the big numbers at West Point is a huge influx of Chinese tourists on East Coast bus trips. On the day the Maciewiczes visited, 21 buses arrived for tours, most while traveling from New York to Boston. Guides speaking Mandarin and Cantonese were available and the tourists bought T-shirts at the gift shop and posed for photos with cadets. “It’s the most famous military academy in the world,” explained Sheng Zhen of Hong Kong, who was leading one group of Chinese. “All the boys dream to be a soldier.” But Schieneman acknowledges those long-distance travelers would not be at West Point if they hadn’t come to see New York. Rob Schweitzer, spokesman for Historic Hudson Valley, which operates six historic sites and runs the Halloween festival, agrees that the city is good for business. “The city has such a vibrancy and such energy from a cultural and tourism standpoint. It’s not a problem to offer people a different experience but a complementary experience: If you’re visiting New York or you’re a New Yorker, come out and see what’s half an hour away.”
Least loved day, Monday, is also Wall Street’s worst NEW YORK (AP) — It’s not just in your head. Mondays really are the worst. Monday is the only day the stock market is more likely to fall than to rise. The Dow Jones industrial average has been down 10 of the past 11 Mondays. And the two worst days in market history are both known as Black Monday. There’s no single reason why Mondays are so blue. Then again, there’s no single reason the market rises or falls on any given day, driven as it is by the whims of traders placing millions of individual buy and sell orders. Some anecdotal evidence comes to mind: Companies are prone to release bad news on Friday nights, when fewer people are paying attention. Monday is the first day investors can react. And when companies collapse, they often do it late Sunday or early Monday, after spending a last weekend trying to stay afloat. See Wachovia and, most famously, Lehman Brothers investment bank, on Sept.

In this July 31 photo, specialist Gregg Maloney works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Mondays have proven to be the stock market’s worst day of the week. 15, 2008. Maybe people are just grumpier. They are at least more anxious: The so-called Vix, a gauge of investor fear, tends to go up on Mondays, notes Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist for Schaeffer’s Investment Research in Cincinnati. The Vix has risen on twothirds of this year’s Mondays. On Tuesdays, the
second-most-anxious day, the Vix was up just 58 percent of the time. Or maybe it’s a fluke another pattern people latch on to to make the market seem more understandable, same as the stories that hemlines go up in bull markets, or that stocks rise if a team from the NFC wins the Super Bowl.

about those last two theories in his finance classic, “A Random Walk Down Wall Street.” He stuck them in a section called “A Gaggle of Other Technical Theories to Help You Lose Money.” He found the “blue Monday” phenomenon equally underwhelming. “Far from dependable,” he says, and “most likely due to chance.” Still, there is a pattern. Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices, crunched numbers for the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index back to 1928 and found that melancholy Mondays are a long tradition. Over the past 84 years, the S&P has declined on 52 percent of the Mondays, Silverblatt says. Same goes for the Dow, going back to 1900. On each of the other four days, the market is more likely to rise than fall. The S&P averages a decline of 0.12 percent on Mondays over history. On each of the other four days, the market averages a gain.

Nobody names a restaurant T.G.I. Monday’s. The Titanic sank on a Monday, for crying out loud. It wasn’t always like this, with Mondays representing the dreaded beginning of the workweek in Western countries. Monday probably got its bad name when the Roman emperor Constantine invented the weekend, as David Ewing Duncan, author of a book on the history of the calendar, is fond of saying. Constantine made Sunday a rest day, an attempt to please both sunworshippers, who were already observing it, Duncan says, and Christians, who Constantine knew could be persuaded because they believed in the resurrection of Christ on a Sunday. So Monday, named for the moon, became the day for going back to work. Which, in some ways, is only fitting. “There’s always been some mystery around the moon,” Duncan says. “Much like how the stock market works on Mondays.”
(The best is Wednesday, averaging an increase of 0.08 percent.) This year follows the pattern: For both the S&P and the Dow, Monday is the only day to average a loss. Notably horrible was Monday, June 11, when the Dow fell 142 points because of worries about Spanish debt. Almost as bad were June 25, also capsized by worries about Spain, and April 9, after an anemic jobs report. “Maybe over the weekend, that’s when reality sets in,” says Tim McCandless, senior stock analyst at Bel Air Investment Advisors in Los Angeles. Three of the five worst days in the history of the S&P 500 were Mondays, including two days known as Black Monday: Oct. 19, 1987, when stocks plunged more than 20 percent, and Oct. 28, 1929, which helped set off the Great Depression. So pity the poor Monday. Even pop culture is stacked against it. The Mamas & the Papas sang that every other day of the week is fine.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, Aug. 19, the 232nd day of 2012. There are 134 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 19, 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812, earning the nickname “Old Ironsides.” On this date: In 1807, Robert Fulton’s North River Steamboat arrived in
Albany, two days after leaving New York. In 1848, the New York Herald reported the discovery of gold in California. In 1909, the first automobile races were run at the justopened Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1960, a tribunal in Moscow convicted American U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers of espionage. (Although sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment, Powers
was returned to the United States in 1962 as part of a prisoner exchange.) In 1980, 301 people aboard a Saudi Arabian L-1011 died as the jetliner made a fiery emergency return to the Riyadh airport. In 1991, Soviet hard-liners made the stunning announcement that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev had been removed from power. (The coup attempt collapsed two days later.)

NATURAL WANDERS
These mid-August days are royal ones We’re now at the midpoint of August, halfway through the final full month of summer. Days grow noticeably shorter; darkness is picking up speed. The almanac bears this out. Though we gave up less than an hour of daylight between June’s solstice and July’s end, every single day in August we’ll surrender several additional minutes of precious illumination. By the time September arrives, we’ll be down over two full hours — plus we’ll have lost a third hour by the time the equinox ushers in autumn. It’s a fact. Summer is definitely waning. Still, that’s what seasons do — come and go, one after another, just like days and minutes, and for that matter, years. However, as a general philosophy from a fellow who’s been bobbing along quite a while on time’s ceaseless current, rather than fret about the constant passage, I believe it’s better to look around and enjoy the journey. And it’s our good fortune there’s probably no easier time to adopt such an embracing perspective than right now! Why? Because from now

The prairie’s royal gold is courtesy of several coneflowers, an assortment of sunflowers, coreopsis, wingstem, Jerusalem artichoke, ox-eye, prairie dock, evening primrose, and common mullein. No doubt I’m missing stuff, too — because a prairie in late summer is simply awash in various golden blooms. For purples, there’s no better place to start than ironweed. I’ve been an ironweed fan all my life. Probably because my mother adored ironweed’s lovely magenta-purple blooms … which prompted my father, who adored Mom, to always see that at least a halfdozen ironweed plants grew to lush maturity along the frontyard fence—much to the consternation of the neighbors. If ironweeds aren’t enough — even though a field thick with these tall, dark, and spectacularly purple plants ought to be sufficient to take anyone’s breath away — we’ll toss in the gaudy New England aster. A royal bloom if ever there was one! And another recently reclassified plant, as
well. According to one reference, New England asters were once voted by a survey of botanists and naturalists, as being the third most beautiful wildflower in North America. Other purples? Well, there are a half-dozen species of blazing star — some call them gay feather — in Ohio. All have gorgeous purple blooms. And lots of different thistles, which are arguably sometimes magenta-pink, but can also be a good solid purple by anyone’s color definition. Plus blue vervain, a couple of lobelias, and little purplish flowers on different members of the mint family. Finally, like a luscious afterdinner dessert, the uncommon bottle gentian. True, they’re often a beautiful blue, but they also occasionally don a delicious purple — and I frankly refuse to quibble about hue when it comes to gentians. These are royal days ahead. A dazzling panoply of purple and gold, constituting a majestic treasure worthy of a king — but equally available to delight us commoners who regularly share the local wealth of such resplendent fields.
Dog treadmill sales brisk as pets shape up LOS ANGELES (AP) — Like any true celebrity, Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier from “The Artist” and “Water for Elephants,” puts in his time on the treadmill. At 10, Uggie doesn’t do a heavy workout, just a light trot and walking, said owner-trainer Omar Von Muller of Los Angeles. But Von Muller bought Uggie a DogPacer for those times when he can’t go out because of weather, work or paparazzi. “It’s important to keep him in shape,” Von Muller said. “If they don’t get their exercise, they get old too fast, just like people.” Some 3 million dogs across the country were using treadmills in 2010, according to a survey of pet owners by the American Pet Products Association. The group asked about treadmills for the first time in its 2011/2012 survey because the machines were selling so briskly, APPA President Bob Vetere said. It may look like the dog is going nowhere. But pet owners with fat, old or misbehaving dogs say they measure the benefits of canine treadmills in pounds, years and sleep. Heather Chau borrowed a DogPacer when her rescue dog Heidi arrived weighing 115 pounds. Heidi is now down to 80 pounds, and Chau, a Las Vegas bookkeeper, was so impressed, she returned the donated

rest of their lives are the healthiest we can make them. If the treadmill promotes a longer life, then it’s easy to do it each day. Whatever they have been through is in the past. Whatever we can do now to help them lead a healthier, better life is worth it,” Chau said. Treadmills come in a range of sizes and prices. At LA Dog Works in Los Angeles, owner Andrew Rosenthal has a DogPacer, one of the newest and least expensive on the market at $499, that his Alsatian German shepherd Josh likes to use.
Rosenthal’s 24-hour dog care center, which includes boarding, grooming, training, daycare, hydrotherapy, massage therapy and a retail store, also uses a $3,000 Jog A Dog and a $40,000 underwater treadmill. The most visible difference between a human treadmill and a canine treadmill is the size, because a dog’s stride is longer and his body shorter than a human’s, said David Ezra, the owner of Las DogPacer. Vegas-based DogPacer plans to release a treadmill for toy dogs in September and the price will be smaller too, Ezra said. The Pooch Hotel in Los Angeles, owned by Petco Animal Supplies Inc., offers a treadmill to help keep pets in shape. About half the dog population has some kind of weight problem, so it was a no-brainer, said Jason Michal, who runs the hotels as Petco’s vice president of pet services and hospitality. For home use, Pennsylvania-based GoPet has canine treadmills and a treadwheel, which looks like a giant hamster wheel, for small to large breeds, ranging from $475 to $1,225. Dog trainer April Suhr of Las Vegas believes shelters across the country could make animals more adoptable if the animals used treadmills just two or three days a week. It’s easy for a dog in a shelter to go cage crazy, she said. The answer is exercise, she said. Suhr, who volunteers at Adopt a Rescue Pet and has her own business, 4 Pawz On The Floor, also works part-time in a pet superstore. She brought a rescue dog, Max, to the store every week to use the machine. “Not only did he calm down, but he was using the treadmill one day when a woman came in, saw him, fell in love with him and adopted him,” she said. Suhr has one at her home for her three pets and her foster dogs. Suhr figures she would have to run miles and miles and spend hours and hours to get all her dogs as much exercise as they get on the treadmill in minutes. Marie Czarnecki, 73, of Las Vegas is having her left knee replaced in a few weeks and will be out of commission for a few months. She ordered a DogPacer the first day she saw one at her trainer’s office. Her shelties, Dee Dee, 6, and Sundance, 3, have been using it for several months. She calls it the best thing in her garage besides her car.

Rich toddlers draw fashion designers’ eyes NEW YORK (AP) — Juliet Sandler dresses in the latest $650 dresses and $400 shoes from Parisian fashion house Lanvin. Juliet is 3. Her mother, Dara Sandler, says she dresses her daughter in the latest fashions because Juliet is a reflection of her even though her daughter can’t spell the names of the designers, let alone pay for their clothes. “I dress my daughter exactly the way I dress myself,” says the 33-year-old Manhattan mother, who spent $10,000 for her daughter’s summer wardrobe. She plans to spend a few thousand dollars more for fall. Top fashion designers are pushing more expensive duds for the increasingly lucrative affluent toddler demographic. This fall, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana, and Marni launched collections for the pint-sized. Luxury stores Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman are expanding their children’s areas to make room for the newcomers, many of them with higher price tags. Late last year, Gucci, which launched a children’s collection two years ago, opened its first children’s store on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. Some designer houses like Oscar de la Renta and Marni say they’re careful to keep the clothes appropriate for kids. But there are plenty of miniature versions of the adult looks that raise eyebrows because of their eye-catching prices and sophisticated styles. American households are expected to spend an average of $688 outfitting their children for school, says the National Retail Federation, and that includes supplies like pencils and notebooks. That’s most families. Some will spend $795 on Gucci backpacks or $1,090 on leopard print puffy coats from Lanvin. Sasha Charnin Morrison, fashion director at Us Weekly, admits that some of the clothes are outrageously prices. But, she says, things like $200 Gucci sneakers make her kids happy. “They’re a walking billboard of you. They’re a reflection of who you are, so if you are someone highly stylized, then you want to make sure your kids are the bestdressed kids out there,” she says. Critics say the trend promotes elitism. “This creates a class system of the haves and have nots,” says Dr. Alan Hilfer, director of psychology at Maimonides Medical Center in New York City. “It creates a culture of envy.” Only five years ago, the highend children’s wear business was dominated by just a few major designers like Ralph Lauren, Burberry and Christian Dior. But the recent influx of others is the latest sign that affluent shoppers have gone back to splurging since the recession. And as the wealthy feel more comfortable about spending again, they increasingly want their kids to reflect themselves. It’s a “mini-me” phenomenon, says Robert Burke, a New Yorkbased fashion consultant. “It feels good. It’s like one for me and one for you,” he says. The trend isn’t limited to Manhattan or Beverly Hills, but is occurring in other big cities like Boston and Chicago, he says. Sales of designer children’s wear are also strong in resort areas where retirees who tend to dote on their grandkids live, he says. Luxury children’s sales account for just a fraction, or just over 3

NPD Group Inc., a research firm. For the past 12 months ended in May, children’s wear sales rose 4 percent, with the upscale compo-
nent up 7 percent, according to NPD’s most recent data. That compares with a 3 percent rise for the overall clothing market.
more Designers, seeking growth, are now looking at children’s wear as another way to deepen their relationship with their customers as well as reach out to new ones. The designers are targeting household incomes of at least $350,000, says Marshal Cohen, NPD’s chief industry analyst. That’s about seven times the U.S. median household income of $49,445. Many of the new designer entries are more expensive than some of the established brands like Ralph Lauren. Ralph Lauren’s cotton shirts for boys are priced about $59. In comparison, Dolce & Gabbana’s plaid shirts for boys run $190. Girl’s dresses are about $500. Nordstrom, whose designer kids clothes were limited to a few names like Burberry and Ralph Lauren, is adding a number of collections for kids from the likes of Marni, Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney. Neiman Marcus Group’s Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan recently expanded its children’s wear department by a third to devote more space to Gucci and the new lines like Oscar de la Renta. For fall, the prices range from $4 for hair bows to $5,200 for an exclusive Christian Dior silk party dress handmade in France. “We’re definitely growing,” says Andrew Mandell, Bergdorf Goodman’s vice president and divisional merchandise manager of home and children’s wear. “This is a whole new realm. And when you have our customers so fashion forward, they eat this up.” Colleen Sherin, fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue (NYSE:SKS) , says both parents and grandparents are willing to spend on “unique, special” fashion items. “They’re just not looking for basics.” The bigger trend, however, is designers creating free-standing shops devoted to kids, says Faith Hope Consolo, who leads retail leasing and marketing at Prudential Douglas Elliman. Following in the footsteps of Gucci, Italian fashion house Giorgio Armani will be opening this fall its first U.S. store devoted to children in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Armani launched its children’s business in the U.S. in 2009.The Armani store, which targets newborns to teenagers, will feature items priced from $50 to $500, says Armani spokesman Christian Langbein. Some parents who are splurging say they also mix in shopping trips to Gap or other less-expensive stores, but see the designer duds as a confidence booster. “I really believe when she dresses like this, she feels better about herself,” added Sandler, who shops for pricey children’s clothes at Barneys New York as well as a New York women’s clothing store called Edit, which now has a designer children’s wear section. Manhattan resident Kelly Mallon, 39, says she’s proud that her 9-year-old daughter Madeleine has developed her own fashion sensibility. “I love seeing my child welldressed. It makes me happy. It makes her happy,” says Mallon who outfits her daughter in accessories from Italian designer Missoni and tops from designer Milly’s year-old children’s line called Milly Minis. “It’s not a little girl playing dress up. She’s in her own clothes made for her.”

Charlotte is city founded in controversy CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — When all is said and done, perhaps it was destiny that Charlotte host the Democratic National Convention and that its choice be controversial. After all, the city and surrounding county of Mecklenburg are the main players in one of North Carolina’s great historic controversies: whether a document known as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was signed here more than a year before that other Declaration of Independence (the one drafted by Thomas Jefferson) showed up in 1776. The Mecklenburg declaration wasn’t published until 1819, but the date of its supposed signing, May 20, 1775, is printed on the North Carolina state flag, even though most historians no longer believe the document ever existed. “Although it’s a point of pride in Charlotte, most North Carolina historians follow the line that it was not an authentic document,” says Mike Hill, research branch supervisor at the N.C. Office of Archives History. “The last copies are said to have burned in a fire in the early 19th century. Its mentions in history books are based on the memories of aging men.” (Historians don’t, however, question the legitimacy of a different document called the Mecklenburg Resolves, signed 11 days after the “Meck Dec.”) Controversy aside, delegates in town for the convention, which begins Sept. 3, will find several places in and around Charlotte where they can soak up a little political history. Whether or not you believe the Mecklenburg lore, most out-of-towners do make a stop in the place named for the declaration: Independence Square, now the center of the city’s financial district, at the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets. The square is home to four sculptures representing transportation, labor, business and the future, and a look up at the surrounding skyscrapers shows “the significance of Charlotte as a banking and business center,” says Robert Anthony, curator of the North Carolina collection at the University of North Carolina. Charlotte is the nation’s secondlargest banking center after New York. Republicans have enjoyed watching Democrats squirm over the choice of Charlotte, the largest city in a state with high unemployment and an unpopular Democratic governor who’s not seeking a

Delegates in town for the Democratic National Convention, which begins Sept. 3, will find several places in and around Charlotte where they can soak up a little political history and culture, including Independence Square in downtown Charlotte,. The statue is one of four bronze statues at the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets representing commerce, transportation, energy and the future. second term. Even some typical Democratic supporters, including unions, weren’t happy with the selection of a city in a rightto-work state. But residents have long shaken off insults, so perhaps their skin is thick enough to take whatever pot shots come their way. In 1986, architecture critic Robert A.M. Stern called Charlotte “the ugliest collection of third-rate buildings in America.” And as far back as 1791, President George Washington called Charlotte a “trifling place” after staying overnight at an inn on South Tryon Street. A few years later, in 1795, the nation’s 11th president, James K. Polk, was born on a 150-acre farm (60 hectares) south of Charlotte in nearby Pineville, and delegates with an interest in history can visit the site today. Polk lived there until 1806, when his family moved to Tennessee. Later, he returned to his home state and graduated in 1818 from the University of North Carolina. The president’s grand uncle, Thomas, was one of Charlotte’s early settlers and a general in the Revolutionary War. He built his home where Independence Square is now located, and a nearby park is named for him. Political junkies will find a connection to another president at The Duke Mansion, also known as White Oaks, a historic 20room bed-and-breakfast that was once the private mansion of industrialist James B. Duke, Doris Duke’s father. Here in 1940,

Delegates looking to sneak away from the convention speeches long enough to sample some Southern food might start with Price’s Fried Chicken Coop, where former Charlotte Observer reporter and amateur historian Lew Powell says the only thing that’s changed since 1962 is a sign advising customers to turn off their cell phone.

can’t do that in the big city. Despite the kerfuffle, Tom Hanchett of the Levine Museum of the New South says the city does have a few good places, including Midwood Smokehouse and Mac’s Speed Shop (barbecue in a biker bar). Two new joints have also opened near the convention site, but if you want the real thing, head out of town to Bridges in nearby Shelby. For those craving sweets, check out Amelie’s, a French bakery on South Tryon. And if your sweet tooth is acting up after business hours, drive to the original Amelie’s in the NoDa section of Charlotte, which is open 24/7, a rarity in the South. For ethnic food, Hanchett recommends Central Avenue, including the Golden Bakery (Middle Eastern), El Pulgarcito De America (Salvadoran) and Ben Thahn (Vietnamese). Democrats with a mischievous or perhaps a masochistic streak might want to dine at the Capital Grille. It was here in December 2005 that prosecutors said Jim Black — at the time North Carolina’s Democratic Speaker of the House — made a deal involving cash bribes. In June, a year after Black’s release from prison, Republicans held a news conference at the restaurant to try to link the current Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Walter Dalton, to the scandal. Delegates looking for culture alongside their politics will find at least three museums not far from the convention center: The Mint Museum (housed in a former U.S. Mint); the Levine Museum of the New South; and the Harvey B. Gantt Center for AfricanAmerican Arts + Culture. Delegates might especially like The Mint Museum’s exhibit of pins worn by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, on display past the convention. Or they can visit the Billy Graham Library. They can also walk to the NASCAR Hall of Fame or drive to the Carolinas Aviation Museum near the airport, home to the “Miracle on the Hudson” plane. All in all, while there’s enough in Charlotte to satisfy history buffs and sightseers alike, those seeking comparisons between Barack Obama and Polk, the native son who grew up to be president, might be hardpressed. Polk, a proponent of “Manifest Destiny” who helped expand the nation’s boundaries, kept a campaign promise that is completely at odds with Obama’s reason for coming here: He stepped down after just one term.
Five free, non-political things to do in Charlotte CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President George Washington spent the night in a Charlotte inn once and came away unimpressed, referring to the city in his diary as a “trifling place.” The Queen City named after the wife of King George II, who ruled the colonies, has made up for lost time and now is best known as a business city, home to Duke Energy and the place where Hugh McColl started a small bank called NCNB, which grew to become the Bank of America. Soon, Charlotte will be known as a city that hosted the Democratic National Convention. Here are five of the best free things to do in Charlotte: INDEPENDENCE SQUARE At the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets
stand four bronze statues, one on each corner. Three statues — commerce, transportation and energy — look toward the fourth, which represents the future. The first statue shows a black laborer, representing the workers who built Charlotte’s first railroads. The second statue shows a prospector panning for gold, representing the discovery of gold near Charlotte in 1799, with another figure representing banking and finance, said to be modeled on former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The third statue shows a female textile mill worker and a child, representing minors who worked in the mills before labor laws outlawed the practice. The fourth statue representing the future also has a mother and child, with the state
flower, the dogwood. The nearby Bechtler Museum of Art charges admission but you can take pictures for free standing beneath the 17-foot-tall (5meter) sculpture “Firebird,” a new favorite spot for tourist photos. The square is named for the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Though widely disputed by historians, some claim that the Mecklenburg document was signed May 20, 1775, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — the one written by Thomas Jefferson — was ratified by the colonies on July 4, 1776. QUEENS ROAD WEST A wide street with million-dollar homes, Queens Road West is part of the Myers Park neighborhood
developed at the turn of the 20th century by the firm of John Nolen of Cambridge, Mass., renowned for urban planning. Charlotte textile, banking and utility company families lived there. A Nolen employee, Earl Sumner Draper, planted trees before houses went up, and today rows of willow oaks create “a green cathedral,” says Tom Hanchett, staff historian at the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte. Houses here typically don’t have “for sale” signs. Nope, that’s too gauche. Instead, they’re advertised as “available.” FRESCOES Ben Long, who grew up in Statesville, N.C., studied fresco painting in Italy before bringing the art to churches in his home state. His largest and first secular fresco is a three-panel
painting in the Bank of America Corporate Center representing themes of making/building, chaos/creativity, and planning/knowledge. Another Long fresco titled “Continuum” is located in the three-story archway leading to the courtyard at Transamerica Square. It portrays the many faces of North Carolina, including the UNC Tar Heel mascot and former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl. TOURS Several self-guided walking tours can be found online at http://www.charlottesgotalot.com/default.as p?charlotte=208 . One starts at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and goes past the Bechtler, Mint and Levine museums with a stop at Settlers’ Cemetery, where town founder and
Revolutionary War hero Thomas Polk is buried. The 24-stop tour ends at the Epicentre, an entertainment facility with great views. Tours of public art include a free shuttle service called the Gold Rush, as well as the Arts &Science Council’s 31-stop walking/shuttle tour, which includes the frescoes and the Trade and Tryon statues, http://www.artsandscience.org/programs-a-services/public-artprogram/public-art-walking-tour.

As ‘Twilight’ fades, Pattinson tests himself The awkward circumstance, he says, is “dissociated” from the film, and he’s thus far declined to use the attention to make any kind of public response to the scandal. Rather, he’s sought to deflect it to “Cosmopolis,” a film that, in an earlier interview before it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, he said “changed the way I see myself.” If Pattinson is understandably guarded about his private life, he’s refreshingly openhearted and humble about his anxieties as a young actor. At 26, Pattinson may be one of the most famous faces on the planet, but he’s still getting his bearings as an actor a profession, he says, he never pined for, fell into by chance and has always found uncomfortable. His unlikely trajectory began with “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and “Little Ashes,” in which he played Salvador Dali. “Then I got ‘Twilight’ and it suddenly became a massively different world to navigate,” Pattinson said in a recent interview in New York. “Most people who get their big hit have figured out what their skills are, and I hadn’t, really.” “Cosmopolis” is a radically different kind of film that will surely confuse not only the hordes of diehard “Twilight” fans who will
Sparks finds new light in ‘Sparkle’ debut BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — When most singers make the leap from recording artist to movie star, it’s usually a well-calculated career maneuver that requires show-business acumen from an army of agents, acting coaches, managers and publicists. However, for bubbly sixth season “American Idol” champion Jordin Sparks, the jump from stage to screen just, well, kinda happened. The way Sparks tells the story of how she became the title character in a remake of the 1976 musical “Sparkle” is that her music career was unexpectedly in flux last year while she was parting ways with her management and her label was undergoing a shake-up. Unable to record a new album and uncertain of her future, Sparks looked to another passion acting. “I was in this weird limbo and ‘Sparkle’ just fell into my lap,” Sparks says. “My agent sent it to me and said, ‘What do you think? Do you wanna audition?’ I read the script and fell in love with it. I related a lot to Sparkle. She’s a girl with a dream, and she’s gonna do whatever it takes to get to the top. I know something about a girl who that did that as well.” Sparks won the “Idol” crown at the age of 17 and is now 22. She’s grown up in that time, losing her chubby teen frame for a svelte sexy figure, and has a regular boyfriend in fellow singer Jason Derulo. “Sparkle” represents her growth as an actress as well. Sparks refers to herself as a “theater geek”: The Phoenix-born singer says she saw the musical revue “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” on Broadway “like seven or eight times” while growing up in New Jersey during football season (Sparks’ father, Phillippi Sparks, played for the New York Giants). Besides a couple of guest starring stints on tween TV shows and numerous drama club and community theater credits, she also had a 12-week run in the Broadway musical “In the Heights” in 2010. “Music always took precedence though,” Sparks says, casually hugging her leg while parked on a chair inside a Beverly Hills hotel suite recently. “Sparkle,” which opens Friday, tells the story of a Detroit singing sibling group attempting to break into the music industry in 1968. Sparks first auditioned for the part last July, scored the role in August and started rehearsing in
September. She didn’t have a chance to work with an acting coach, but she nervously memorized the entire script, including the parts of Sparkle’s older sisters, played by Carmen Ejogo (“Love’s Labour’s Lost”) and Tika Sumpter (“One Life to Live”). As if starring in her first feature film wasn’t nerveracking enough, she learned that Whitney Houston, who had been working for 12 years with producer Debra Martin Chase to remake “Sparkle,” would be playing her strict churchgoing mother, Emma, who turned her life around after battling her own demons. “It was nice to see Jordin, who was new to this; Whitney, who was a veteran and an icon; and in between Carmen and Tika, who were willing to listen and learn from one of the best,” says director Salim Akil. Houston died Feb. 11 after accidentally drowning in a hotel room bathtub on the eve of the Grammy Awards; authorities said her death was complicated by cocaine use and heart disease. With Houston gone, “Sparkle” has become more than a potential breakout moment for Sparks. It’s serving as a tribute to the superstar. One of the toughest scenes for Sparks to film involved Houston’s character confronting her daughters after discovering that they have formed a group against her wishes. Sparks remembers that it was filmed late at night, and she was surprised that Houston was so effortlessly able to switch between yelling in character and joking around on set. “That was the scene where she says, ‘Was my life not enough of a cautionary tale for you?’ I remember standing there and her saying that and going, ‘Whoa. That’s crazy.’ Watching the movie now with her not here, it holds even more weight,” Sparks says. Sparks learned Houston died just before they were due to walk the red carpet at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys party. “It was going to be our first round of interviews to talk about ‘Sparkle,’” Sparks says. “Now, all of the things that she was going to do have fallen on my shoulders and the rest of the cast.

line up on Friday to see it, but art house moviegoers, too. Pattinson himself has watched it four times to try to get his head around it. The first movie adaptation of a Don DeLillo novel, “Cosmopolis” is about a sleek financier, Eric Parker (Pattinson), slowly making his way in the airless sanctuary of his white stretch limo across a traffic-jammed Manhattan with the simple goal of a haircut. But the journey, which includes visits with his new wife (Sarah Gadon), a prostitute (Juliette Binoche) and Occupylike protesters (Mathieu Amalric), is a kind of willful unraveling for Parker, who dispassionately watches his fortune slide away on a bad bet on the Chinese yuan. “He’s an egomaniac who wants to see some kind of spirituality in his egomania,” says Pattinson. “It’s kind of like how actors feel about themselves.” Pattinson is in every scene of the film, which relies on his callow, hyper-literate performance to carry the movie through its limited setting and DeLillo’s heightened dialogue much of which Cronenberg transcribed verbatim from the novel. Though some reviews have found the film static and impenetrable (perhaps intended responses), most critics have praised Pattinson’s perform-
ance, with many citing it as proof that the heartthrob can indeed act. The stylized language and atypical nature of the film made it a risky and intimidating choice for Pattinson. “I couldn’t hear the voice of the character at all. There was nothing,” he says. “It was scary to say yes to something which you didn’t know what it was. I knew it was interesting, I knew there was something special but I had no idea how to do it or what I could add to it. But when you start saying no to Cronenberg because you don’t think it’s good enough, it’s a stupid decision to make.” It’s clear that his “Twilight”fueled celebrity weighs heavily on Pattinson, who says he knows people watch his films “through a cultural context.” “Rob, he’s popular,” says Cronenberg with deadpan understatement. “I couldn’t have cast Rob without ‘Twilight’ just as I couldn’t have cast Viggo (Mortensen) without ‘Lord of the Rings,’” says the director whose previous three films “A History of Violence,” Promises,” ”A ”Eastern Dangerous Method” starred Mortensen. “The fact that somebody who has clout is willing to do a movie that’s difficult is a gift to
a director because you’re not only getting the right guy as an actor, but you’re getting financing interest and you get to make the movie. This is not an easy movie to get made.” Pattinson seems energized by the freedom of choice in front of him following the final “Twilight” installment, which will be released in November. He’s lined up parts in gritty films far from blockbuster size: “Mission: Black List,” a military thriller, and “The Rover” by Australian director David Michod (“Animal Kingdom”), a role he says he fought for more than any before. Embarking on “Cosmopolis” appears to have been a process of letting go for Pattinson of selfawareness, of worry, of fear. Asked if he now feels certain he’s an actor, he quickly replies, “No.” “As soon as you start existing in a certain world, you feel like you have tremendous amount of baggage all the time,” he says. “You get stuck in this rut where you want people to think you’re something else, but you’re too scared to do what that is to actually be the other person. “Then you get a gift like this movie where it’s way easier than I thought it was,” he says. “You just do it. It doesn’t really matter if you fail.”
FILM REVIEW
AP PHOTO/FOCUS FEATURES
This film image released by Focus Features shows the character Norman, voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee, in the 3D stop-motion film, “ParaNorman.”
‘ParaNorman’ doomed by script demons BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Reviewer The stop-motion animated “ParaNorman” unfolds tragically: So much drawing for such an unworthy script. The labor necessary to create a film like “ParaNorman” is colossal. Tens of thousands of facial expressions were drawn. 3D printers (a new advancement in stop motion pioneered here) ran through 3.8 metric tons of printer powder. One scene alone took a year to shoot. So it’s tempting to applaud the 3-D “ParaNorman” politely, sympathetically simply because of the admirable work. No one wants to tell 60 puppet makers that their months of toil were ill spent. But though “ParaNorman” is impressively crafted, the frequently wondrous and whimsical visuals far surpass the disappointingly slipshod story of an 11-year-old boy named Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who can see and speak to the dead. While stop-motion animation has largely gone out
of favor with the rise of computer animation, the Portland-based studio LAIKA has carried the flame. The studio, which is owned by Nike founder Phil Knight and run by his son, Travis Knight (a producer on “ParaNorman”), previously made 2009’s “Coraline.” “ParaNorman” bears some of the same fantasyhorror spirit of “Coraline,” which was based on Neil Gaiman’s novella. It also has some of the elements of the British studio Aardman Animations (“Wallace and Gromit”); “ParaNorman” is directed by Sam Fell (who co-directed Aardman’s “Flushed Away”) and Chris Butler, who also wrote it. With a thick forest of rigidly spiked brown hair, Norman appears as if in perpetual fright. But he greets the paranormal with casual familiarity, talking to his grandmother (Elaine Stritch) while they watch TV and greeting invisible passersby while he walks down a seemingly empty street. He’s an avid horror film watcher with zombie posters in his bedroom and
a cell phone ringtone of the “Friday the 13th” theme. His parents (Jeff Garlin, Leslie Mann) and older sister (Anna Kendrick) have little patience for Norman’s eccentricities and the kids in school call him “Abnorman” and worse. Norman is contacted by his uncle Prenderghast (John Goodman) who shares Norman’s gift. He tells him that the myth of their town, Blithe Hollow that it was cursed by a witch 300 years ago is true, and that it’s now Norman’s duty to keep her at bay with a ritual. Prederghast, who promptly croaks, also appears to Norman from the bowels of a school toilet. It’s the scene that took a year to shoot, and it’s when “ParaNorman” is at its best: brilliantly textured, comical and bizarre. After Norman fails in the ritual, he and an improvised gang his round redhead friend Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), Neil’s hunky and dimwitted older brother (Casey Affleck), a bully who resembles the one that preyed on Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes (Alex

Borstein), and Norman’s sister flee from a septet of zombies, with much shrieking and plan making. The running around town takes up what feels like two thirds of the film, robbing “ParaNorman” of pace and setting it on a tiresome and frantic trajectory before enough character development has taken place. Some awkward rhythm and poor sound design (outside of the score by Jon Brion) also prevent “ParaNorman” from the smoothness of a major studio animated film. The setup is promising and film has its charms Norman responds to a demand to “swear!” with hesitance: “Like, the Fword?” but it never quite finds its tone, and sometimes seems lucky to have avoided a PG-13 rating. “ParaNorman,” blessed with otherworldly animation, can’t escape the demons of story. “ParaNorman,” a Focus Features release, is rated PG for scary action and images, thematic elements, some rude humor and language. Running time: 92 minutes. Two stars out of four. 2309580
NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Pattinson was nearing the end of shooting the last “Twilight” film, concluding a chapter of his life that had picked him out of near obscurity and was preparing to spit him out … where exactly? “Twilight” had made him extravagantly famous, but his next steps were entirely uncertain. “Out of the blue,” he says, came the script for “Cosmopolis” from David Cronenberg, the revered Canadian director of psychological thrillers (“Videodrome,” ”Eastern Promises”) that often pursue the spirit through the body. Pattinson, having never met or spoken to Cronenberg, did a little research: He looked him up on Rotten Tomatoes “and it was like 98 percent approval,” he says. “It was like: OK, that’s my next job,” says Pattinson. Pattinson now has the unenviable task of releasing his most ambitious movie, his most adult role, into a media storm that instinct would suggest should be run from like a pack of werewolves. Promoting “Cosmopolis” puts Pattinson in front of cameras and microphones for the first time since his “Twilight” co-star and girlfriend Kristen Stewart last month publicly apologized for having a tryst with director Rupert Sanders.

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD
‘Kingmaker’s Daughter’ is Gregory in fine form BY M.L. JOHNSON AP Book Reviewer “The Kingmaker’s Daughter” (Touchstone), by Philippa Gregory: Philippa Gregory, the reigning queen of historical fiction, brings readers to the brink of insanity with the latest saga in her The Cousins’ War series. “The Kingmaker’s Daughter” focuses on Anne Neville, whose rich and powerful father helped Edward of York overthrow Henry VI to become king of England. Edward and Henry were cousins, leading to the name of the series of battles and political intrigues that consumed the nation for decades. Gregory’s fourth novel about the civil war begins with Anne’s presentation to the newly crowned Edward and the woman he has secretly wed, Elizabeth Woodville. “She is breathtaking,” Gregory writes in Anne’s voice. “The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.” But Anne comes to see the queen as her greatest enemy. Her father, angry that Edward heeds his wife rather than the soldier who helped him capture the throne, turns against the king, spurring another rebellion that puts Anne and her sister in ever more harrowing situations. Anne nearly drowns during a storm at sea, delivers her sister’s stillborn child, marries a claimant to the throne who rapes her repeatedly before dying in battle and is held prisoner for her fortune. And that’s all before she turns 15. Rescued by the king’s brother Richard, she experiences brief happiness as his wife before family politics consume her. Unable to let go of their father’s dream that they should be queens or his jealousy of Elizabeth Woodville, Anne and her sister, Isabel, become increasingly ambitious. Isabel’s death, followed by that of her son, leaves Anne certain Elizabeth is poisoning her family. When Edward dies, she pushes Richard to take the throne, only to find that being queen holds no reassurance. When their son dies, Anne expects to be next. The Cousins’ War, better known in the U.S. as the War of the Roses, provides a rich setting for drama with its endless plots and conniving courtiers. Still, with three novels covering essentially the same historical events under her belt, one might expect Gregory to run out of steam. There’s no sign of that in “The Kingmaker’s Daughter.” On its own, it is a tragic tale of bad parenting, with Anne and Isabel cowed by their father and molded by his prejudices. But their growing paranoia is rendered truly insane only when this novel is paired with the first in the series, “The White Queen.”

teenage Helen Lewis is abused by her father and flees into the arms of manipulative, dangerous men, and the fall of 2011, when she has changed her name to Heloise Lewis and tries to arrange a flight from impending death and disaster with her 11-year-old son in tow. Lippman does not shy from the seediness of the subject matter, but the acts of fleshy intimacy are more alluded to than recounted in sordid or sizzling who-did-what detail. Heloise makes bad decisions and plays a role in bloodshed. But Lippman is also making a case for Heloise as a woman with drive and intelligence, deep love for her child but a hard-to-reach heart. Heloise is a different, disquieting kind of heroine. While some readers may find her moneymaking activities distasteful, maybe even a bit unbelievable, it’s hard not to pull for her. In the end, it’s even harder to forget her.

This Aug. 8 photo shows Diana Hunter, left, handing out free merchandise by Trojan to Simon Reed, center, during a promotional giveaway in New York. Since the “Fifty Shades of Grey” books hit it big, sales of Trojan merchandise were up about 14 percent from the same quarter a year before, according to Nielsen.
‘50 Shades of Grey’ marketing phenomenon goes mainstream NEW YORK (AP) — You’ve bought rope for that special someone, picked up a few sex toys and read those “Fifty Shades of Grey” books a time or three. You know who you are. Well, no need to skulk about at naughty shops or the hardware store as Fifty Shades of Consumption makes it further into the mainstream. Stuart Weitzman and Marc New York have Greystruck campaigns in the fat September issues of fashion magazines, the former touting black stilletos and high, Anastasia Steele-worthy boots called “Fifty Fifty,” named not for the blockbuster bondage books but equal parts leather and stretch. “Stuart has always known that people just think shoes. They daydream shoes. They lust after shoes 24/7,” said Susan Duffy, Weitzman’s senior vice president of marketing. “It’s almost like ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’ People want 50 pairs of shoes. It’s a love affair.” EMI Music is feeling the love. It’s putting out “Fifty Shades of Grey: The Classical Album” next month in partnership with E L James herself, ahead of the British writer’s first visit to the Pacific Northwest locales where her hunky gazillionaire Christian Grey and his new-to-kink love interest dwell. While James goes about remedying that geographical blip on her resume, she let loose Monday with her first licensing agreements for a range of products in North America. Coming soon: official Fifty stockings and garters and printed tights. Undies and jammies and robes. T-shirts and knit tops and hoodies. Add those to a slew of parody books, many selfpublished, beauty giant Bobbi Brown’s new set of “Come-Hither Shades” for eyes in, yes, grays, and marketing references and tie-ins for everything from iPad covers to bathroom fixtures. There’s even a critical reader’s guide, “Lighter Shades of Grey,” that counts the number of times Ana mutters “Oh, my.” These days, we’re all
Fifty Shades of somethin’. “We don’t always get a chance to connect our clients’ brands to current day entertainment or news. But when we do, tie us down and hold us back!” said David R. Schlocker, founder and president of DRS and Associates, a luxury marketing and PR firm in Los Angeles for architectural, interior design and building clients. The company recently pitched “Shades of Gray” kitchen and bath decor, including a Laufen washbasin with seductive curves and edgy Graff faucets in a brushed nickel. Grey-sessed consumers have kept the books atop best-seller lists for more than 25 weeks, shot preorders for the EMI album to the top of classical picks on iTunes and Amazon and breathlessly lobbied online for their choices to play Christian and Ana in the movie. Meanwhile, Town & Country magazine bares a teaser on its September cover, “50 Shades of Rockefeller,” for a story about a great-greatgranddaughter of John D. and her new book, appropos of nothing more than the fresh-faced lexicon. Trojan, the condom guys, had hundreds lining up for free vibrators last week on the streets of Manhattan, using “pleasure carts” like the ones for selling hot dogs. The crowds were so big the city shut them down temporarily, until the company procured the proper permits. Trojan doled out 10,000 vibrators over two days. While Trojan has been selling vibrators since 2009, first-quarter sales this year around the time the Fifty books hit it big were up about 14 percent from the same quarter a year before, according to Nielsen. “Thanks in part to the rise of pop culture hits such as ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ and ‘Sex and the City,’ many consumers are looking for products to help add some spice and increase the pleasure within their relationships,” said Bruce Weiss, vice president of marketing at Trojan. This is what Simon
Reed, 28, knew about that as he waited patiently for one of the purple vibrators with about 400 other people in Midtown: “My girlfriend sent me.” The Fifty phenom has also filled up Etsy with bondage crafts and is keeping Grey-maniacs at Pinterest busy. At Amazon, “Laters, Baby” wall decals with a handcuff motif are on sale, honoring one of Christian’s fave farewells (stolen from his brother). Wendy Ong, EMI’s vice president of classics in the U.S., hasn’t seen this kind of action in forever. “Who would have thought classical music and ‘Fifty Shades of Grey,’ you know. It’s a stretch, right, but it’s actually a great partnership,” she said. “It’s amazing in this day and age for these books to be causing so much interest in classical music.” Not all classical music, mind you. The download and CD due out Sept. 11 on Capitol Records (owned by EMI) includes 15 tracks featured in the books, including the obscure “Tallis: Spem in Alium” by The Tallis Scholars, as in Chapter 25, Book One. The recording as a single download climbed to No. 1 on iTunes in July for classical music in the UK and US. Robert Pattinson hasn’t read the books and told a crowd at Comic-Con he would probably just lick the pages if he tried, but the newly solo actor showed up in a few shades of gray for the New York premiere Monday of his new movie, “Cosmopolis,” and again to ring the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange. Coincidence, maybe. RPatz was in Gucci, but bespoke tailors Norton & Townsend back home in the UK came up with a line of menswear in Fiftyfriendly shades of generous grey, guilty pleasure grey and gentle grey. As for rope, one of Manhattan’s largest and oldest hardware stores, Garber Hardware in the West Village, noted a 10 percent uptick in sales from about March soon after the books took off to July, compared with the same period a year ago. “Anecdotally speaking, it would certainly be rea-
sonable to attribute that to the Fifty Shades phenomenon,” said Nathaniel Garber, the great-greatgrandson of the store’s founder. “I’m looking at my rope department right now and it’s half empty, and it’s been like that for the past few months.” Hmmmm. Grey, by the way, should rethink his choice of rope in the first book he requests five feet of natural filament during a trip to the hardware store where Ana works. Garber recommends a 12-gauge, non-braided nylon. “It’s soft. Non-braided is also easier to tie,” he said. Sales are roof-raising for Babeland since all things Fifty took over. With three adult toy stores in New York, one in Seattle and a website, cofounder Claire Cavanah reports a 40 percent boost in business, with eye-popping increases for bondage toys. “Attendance at our free events where we offer sex tips for turning fantasies into reality based on the sex scenes in Fifty Shades of Grey has been overwhelming,” she said. At the first one, in Manhattan in May, 125 people showed up rather than the usual 25 to 30, Cavanah said. More than 400 signed up for a second event at the company’s Brooklyn location. They added another session and stayed open two hours late to accommodate the crowd, she said. Fifty has also been very, very good to Dana B. Myers, co-owner of the website Bootyparlor.com and wholesaler to about 400 sex shops around the country. “I’m hearing everything from 26 to 32 percent increases in sales in the last three months,” she said. Among her biggest Fifty-driven sellers: the Good Girl, Bad Girl package sporting a blindfold, feather spanker, feather whipper and wrist cuffs, all in “animal-friendly” leatherette. “I think what this phenomenon has done is to really legitimize the fact that sex is good, fantasies are healthy,” she said. “This is not your mother’s romance.”

MORTGAGE WATCH
Rate on 30-year loans rises to 3.62 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages ticked up for the third straight week, staying slightly above record lows. Cheap mortgages have helped fuel a modest housing recovery this year. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the rate on the 30-year loan increased to 3.62 percent, up from 3.59 percent last week. Three 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 2.88 percent. That’s up from 2.84 percent last week and record low of 2.80 percent three weeks ago. The availability of low rates has lifted home sales higher this year. Home prices have also increased, largely because the supply of homes has shrunk while sales have risen. And builder confidence is at its highest level since March 2007, according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders. Homebuilders broke ground on slightly fewer homes in July, down from June when they started homes at the fastest pace since October 2008. Single-family homes and apartments started in July dipped 1.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 746,000, the government said Thursday. Still, builders in July requested the most building permits since August 2008, suggesting many expect demand for newly built homes to rise in the months ahead. The pace of home sales remains well below healthy levels, however. Many people are still having difficulty qualifying for home loans or can’t afford larger down payments required by banks. Mortgage rates are low because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. A weaker U.S. economy and uncertainty about how Europe will resolve its debt crisis have led investors to buy more Treasury securities, which are considered safe investments. As demand for Treasurys increase, the yield falls. To calculate average rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. The average does not include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average rate on one-year adjustable rate mortgages rose to 2.69 percent from 2.65 percent last week.
The best thing about buffets is that they are an ideal addition to just about any room in your home. Here are some quick tips on how to pick and use a buffet to add style to your home. Dining-room designs are changing quickly, and we’re finally free from the matchy-matchy edict that said your dining-room furniture had to be a set. Now we’re all having a blast exploring new ways to create dining rooms that better reflect our own style. But one tradition I’m holding fast to is including a buffet in dining-room decor. When we have guests for coffee or cocktails, it makes the perfect beverage server. Every time I pack my table full of guests, then gobble up the middle of the table with a big centerpiece, it saves the day by providing room from which to serve the food. And it gives me a stage for an ever-changing seasonal display. Here are just a few advantages to using buffets: • Buffets make a beautiful anchor These attractive, versatile pieces can add style to almost any room. Along with bookcases, secretaries and hutches, I frequently use buffets as that stalwart wooden piece that gives a room structure and strength. (Plus, they give the bonus of additional storage space.) Top the buffet with great accents, surround it with artwork — and your room is done. • Buffets are versatile and hardworking Buffets make an ideal place to put a flat-screen TV, hoisting the screen to just the right height so it’s easy to see. Or if you prefer to hang your TV on the wall, slide a buffet up underneath it, so the TV is not visually floating on the wall. Whether the TV is sitting on top of the buffet or mounted on the wall behind it, include the TV in your overall display on the buffet. Work in a few accents on the tabletop that balance out the screen, and incorporate the screen into a montage of artwork. You’ll be amazed by how this helps the TV melt into the background when it’s not in use. You can also put a buffet in your entry, topped with a large mirror. Or put one against an empty wall in your living room to serve as a bar when you entertain. If you have a boring hallway that

A dining room buffet offers a convenient and elegant spot for serving food and can be a fun place for seasonal displays. needs some life, put a buffet against one of the walls, top it with an accent lamp and create a grid of great artwork behind it. (Maybe some great photos of your family?) • Pick the right buffet for your space Use these four guidelines to help you select the right piece: 1. How are you going to use the buffet? Will it be in your dining room, providing a spot to hold food and beverages? Or will you use it in another room, mostly for decorative purposes? 2. Does the style suit your home? Do you want a sleek, modern buffet — or something more traditional? Do you prefer informal pieces, like a buffet that looks like it was taken from an old farmhouse, or one that’s very highstyle? No matter what you pick, make sure the piece harmonizes with the other furnishings in the room and in your home. 3. How much do you want to invest
in your buffet? Like most furniture, buffets come in a wide range of prices and the quality can vary. Do you want a buffet you can enjoy for five to 10 years? Or do you want one that you can hand down as a family heirloom? Once you determine the lifespan of the piece, you’ll have a better feel for whether you want something trendy or timeless, budget or built to last a lifetime. 4. What size fits your space? Because buffets can be space hogs, it’s important to measure the length of the spot where you’d like to put the buffet to be sure it will be a good fit. Another dimension to keep in mind is the depth of the buffet, especially if it will be in a hallway. Make sure it’s not so deep you can’t get around it easily. If your buffet will be in a dining room, make sure you get one that is 3 to 4 inches taller than your dining table. It’s important to have different heights for visual variation in a room.

A first-quarter survey of homebuyers and sellers done by HomeGain.com, a real estate services website, revealed that 76 percent of homeowners believe their home is worth more than the list price recommended by their real estate agent. Homebuyers usually have a better grasp of current market value in the area where they’re looking to buy than do sellers who own and live there. Buyers look at a lot of new listings. They make offers, know what sells quickly and for how much, and what doesn’t and why. HomeGain reported that homebuyers still think sellers are overpricing their homes. Your home is worth what a

On a sunny Sunday afternoon in summer, I lazed on a lounge chair in the shade of a red maple at an outdoor pool in Seekonk, Mass. Some 30 minutes after dozing off, I opened my eyes to find a butterfly whizzing back and forth over my feet. The butterfly was a red admiral, which eventually settled on the hard, white plastic edge of the seat. The 2-inch butterfly opened dark-chocolatecolored wings wide to reveal an orange band and a white spotted pattern on each forewing and a blackspotted, orange margin on each hind wing. My lounge chair bordered an open forest adjacent to the swimming pool, plots of perennials, and fields of thistle and goldenrod. There were lots of edges between the fields, forests and open green spaces — good butterfly-watching habitat. The admiral departed as I stood up. That’s when I noticed what looked like an especially attractive leaf on the forest edge foliage. That leaf was a painted lady butterfly, a relative of the red admiral. Both species belong to the lovelynamed genus of butterflies called Vanessa. Slightly larger than the red admiral, the painted lady showed off black-tipped, whitespotted forewings that blended back into a pattern of orange and black. The painted lady remained stationary but began beating its wings together rapidly. 5290 N.

new toilet, you need to consider available options and features that will work best for your home and family. I have made a “toilet checklist:” 1. Style — “One-piece” toilets can look trendy and be easier to clean, but “two-piece” toilets may fit your budget a little better. 2. Bowl shape — “Elongated” bowls give you a longer bowl, but for small bathrooms a “round front” bowl may fit the space. 3. Toilet height — “Comfort height” toilets are about 2 inches higher than standard toilets. 4. Gallons per flush — Most standard toilets flush with 1.6 gpf, “high-efficiency” toilets flush with 1.3 gpf or less. 5. Flushing options — Gravity flush toilets can be available in single or “dual-flush” models. Dual flush gives the option of a full flush or a half flush. Also available are “assisted-flush” toilets where air pressure can help add more flushing power.
a home is when it’s new on the market. This is when it is most marketable. Buyers wait for the new listings. Usually, listings receive the most showings and have the busiest open houses during the first couple of weeks they are on the market. This is the opportunity to show your house off to advantage with a list price that attracts buyers’ attention. Listings that sell today are priced right for the market. Buyers need to feel comfortable that they are getting a good deal. Buyers won’t overpay if they feel home prices are still declining, and in some areas of the country, they still are. In areas of strong sales, buyers may shy away from multipleoffer situations if they feel the recovery is fragile and that prices may slide further before stabilizing. Even in areas where home sales have been strong in the first half of 2012, local practitioners wonder how long the uptick will last. HOUSE HUNTING TIP: When selecting a list price, it helps to understand how real estate agents and appraisers establish an expected selling price or price range for your home. They research the recent listing inventory for homes similar to yours that sold. The most recent sales give the best indication of the direction of the market. They analyze these comparable sales giving more value to your home for attributes that it has that the comparables don’t, like a remodeled kitchen. Value is subtracted from your home for features it lacks when compared to the sold comparables, like an easily accessible, level backyard. It’s difficult for sellers to step back and take an attitude of detached interest in their home. But it’s essential to do so if you want to sell successfully in this market. If the comparable sale information suggests that the value of homes like yours is declining, select a list price that undercuts the competition to drive buyers — and hopefully offers — to your home. You can take a more aggressive stance on pricing if the comparables show that prices are moving up. If there is high demand for homes like yours, you may receive more than one offer. But don’t list too high. The market will drive the price up if it’s warranted. THE CLOSING: Don’t rely on rumors circulating in the neighborhood about how high a home sold. Prices tend to get inflated when passed from one person to another. Select your list price based on hard facts.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM
Animal-themed kids’ decor is right at home By the AP Kids are often enthralled with the wild kingdom, so it’s fun to do their rooms with animalthemed decor. And you can think beyond the standard, kitty-cat wall border or dino bedding; some of today’s designs have a sophistication that will please style-minded parents, too. So to quote Maurice Sendak, “Let the wild rumpus begin!” • Dwell Studio: This bastion of chic kids’ decor offers deer, triceratops, unicorn and zebra papiermch wall art that could easily inhabit any room in the house. Owl and unicorn shower curtains are rendered in Dwell’s signature muted-color palette. Here too are French textile designer Paule Marrot’s high style, textural giclee bird paintings on linen. (www.dwellstudio.com, papier-mch, $76; shower curtains, $66; Paule Marrot wall art, $2,200) • Ferm Living: Folkarty silhouettes are the story at this Scandinavian design house. There are friendly tiger, owl and octopus poly-filled cushions and mobiles, a sweet group of bird-shaped cushions, and a snake in fun, stripy organic hues. An unlikely yet whimsical Animal

Kids are often enthralled by wild animals, so it’s fun to do their rooms with animal-themed decor. Think beyond the standard kitty-cat wall border or dino bedding; here are some decor ideas sophisticated enough to please style-minded parents, too. Tower decal stacks a rooster on a giraffe on a dog on a horse on an elephant wall art sure to inspire some fantastical storytelling. (www.fermlivingshop.com, cushions, $34.25 and up; mobiles, $45.75; Animal Tower, $110) • RoomMates: Silhouette decals includ-
ing monkeys, pelicans, turtles and more come packaged together ready to affix in whatever creative narrative strikes your fancy. There are realistic dinosaurs as well, packaged in multiples. (www.roommatesdecor.co m, animal decals, $71.49; dinos, $14.49) • Little Lion Studio:
Based in Montreal, Leonardo Cortes creates quiet, whimsical-sleepscape wall decals. A family of koalas snoozes in eucalyptus branches; a big yet benign whale takes a little sailboat for a ride. A watchful mommy giraffe can be positioned over the crib, with baby giraffe on the other side. Cortes’
simple and charming style is reminiscent of that of Babar’s creator, Laurent de Brunhoff. (www.leolittlelion.etsy.com, whale, $45.02; koalas, $81.54 and up; giraffes, $97.03) • Restoration Hardware: Vintage illustrations of rhinos, camels and lions will have children dreaming of exploring Africa. (www.rhbabyandchild.com , artwork, $439) • Rug Company: London-based designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby choose to depict animals the way they behave in the wild, so their Fishes rug features a school of swimmy friends, while a slithering serpent makes his way across the Snake rug. (www.therugcompany.com, $5,508 each) • Mimi Lou: In a past
life, Miriam Derville was an advertising exec for high-end fragrances. But when she started drawing versions of her children’s stuffed animals on their bedroom walls, people took notice, and Mimi Lou was born. She’s created a charming collection of wall stickers featuring elephants, mice, penguins, bears and a menagerie of creatures with French flair. (www.mimiloushop.fr, $52 and up) • KidsonRoof: The Dutch design studio created by Romy Boesveldt and Ilya Yashkin link modern design with nature in a series of recycled cardboard totems of birds and other wild animals. They can be easily assembled into table sculptures. (www.kidsonroof.com, starting at around $20)

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 fake and eventually 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.
