Obama responds to Romney’s jab President defends foreign policy record

Bengals top Redskins, RG3 in 38-31 win The Washington Redskins fans came to see some razzledazzle in Robert Griffin III’s home debut. They saw Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals do it better. The Bengals produced three first-half touchdowns on plays that snapped the ball to three different players, blew a 17-point lead, rallied in the fourth quarter and survived a bizarre final sequence Sunday in a 38-31 win over the Redskins.

As far back as May, Romney was condemning Obama’s response to unrest in Syria, dubbing it a “policy of paralysis” and calling for more assertive measures, such as arming the opposition to Syrian President Bashar

Assad. As deadly anti-American protests erupted earlier this month in Libya and elsewhere, Romney sought to undercut what polling shows is a significant foreign policy edge for Obama by calling the president’s handling of the situation “disgraceful” and decrying a lack of U.S. leadership in the region. In a companion interview to Obama’s appearance on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Romney broadened his

quickly. In a statement published by the official LANA news agency, the military asked all armed groups using the army’s camps, outposts and barracks in Tripoli, and other cities to hand them over. It warned that it will resort to force if the groups refuse. On Sunday, security forces raided a number of sites in the capital, including a military outpost on the main airport road,

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq has executed nearly 100 people so far this year, a big increase over previous years that has intensified concern about whether defendants are receiving fair trials in a country where the United States has spent billions of dollars trying to reform the judicial system after decades of dictatorship. The government says most of the executed had been convicted of terrorism as bombings and shootings persist in Iraq, albeit not at the levels at the height of its conflict years ago. However, international observers worry that the legal process is faulty and that some trials are politically motivated including this month’s death sentence against Iraq’s fugitive Sunni vice president, Tariq al-Hashemi, a longtime foe of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who was convicted in absentia of running death squads. The executions in 2012 of at least 96 people, all by hanging, amount to more than a quarter of all convicts who have been put to death in the last eight tumultuous years under leaders who struggled to stabilize a country at war after dictator Saddam Hussein was ousted in the U.S.-led war. Christof Heyns, the U.N. investigator on arbitrary executions, described the government-sanctioned executions as “arbitrary killing” that is “committed behind a smokescreen of flawed legal processes.” He warned that the ” continued lack of transparency about the implementation of the death penalty in Iraq, and the country’s recent record, raise serious concerns about the question of what to expect in the future.” He made the remarks in a statement in August after more than two dozen people were executed in one week. Since 2005, Iraq’s government has executed 372 people, including at least nine women and number of foreigners convicted of terror charges, according to Justice Ministry data. The number of foreigners among those killed this year was not available. In the last month alone, the government executed

s a standout student and National Merit Semifinalist, Troy High School senior Fiona Foster would seem to have a future filled with endless opportunities for advancement. She’s just as concerned with giving back as she is with moving forward, however. “Giving back has always been really important to my family,” Foster said. “My brother did an Eagle Scout project with the family abuse shelter in Troy and my parents have been making donations to the shelter since we were kids.” And now Foster has come up with her own project to benefit The Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County. With help from a number of local businesses and organizations, Foster is selling The T.A.S.T.Y. (Troy Abuse Shelter Thanks You) restaurant discount cards. By purchasing a $5 punch card, patrons receive one-time, 10 percent discounts at the following downtown Troy restaurants: The Caroline, La Piazza, La Fiesta, Bake House Bread Company, Unrefined Cafe,

TROY Submarine House, Night Sky Coffeehouse and Eatery, Dunaway’s Beef and Ale and LeDoux’s Restaurant and Bar. Funds from the sale of the cards will benefit The Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County. Cards are available at The Art Vault Gallery, 2 E. Main Street in Troy through the end of October — which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month — and also will be on sale after services Sept. 30 at The First United Church of Christ. “I’m really excited about this,” Foster said. “Barbara Holman, the director of the Family Abuse Shelter, was very helpful in the approval process, as well as Ruth Jenkins, a family friend who is on the board of directors at the shelter.” Foster — who also sold the cards at The Taste of Troy event and other churches in Troy — said she’s received help from a number of area businesses and individuals.

She also rides horses in her spare time. While she hasn’t decided on a college or university yet — as a National Merit Semifinalist with a high grade point average, she should have her pick of schools — she plans on studying computer science wherever she matriculates next year. “She’s just a great kid,” said Troy High School Principal William Overla. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that she came up with a project like this. That’s just the type of kid she is. She’s the kind of kid we’re proud to have here at Troy High School.”

The assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, which left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead, has sparked an angry backlash among many Libyans against the myriad of armed factions that continue to run rampant across the nation nearly a year

after the end of the country’s civil war. On Friday, residents of Benghazi the cradle of the Libyan revolution last year that toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi staged a mass demonstration against the militias before storming the compounds of several armed groups in the city in an unprecedented protest to demand the militias dissolve.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 which were being used as bases by disparate militias since Gadhafi was driven from the capital around a year ago, according to military spokesman Ali alShakhli. Tripoli resident AbdelSalam Sikayer said he believes the government is able to make this push now because, thanks to the country’s first free election in decades that took place in July, the public generally trusts it. “There was no trust before the election of the National Congress that is backed by the legitimacy of the people and which chose the country’s leader. There is a feeling that the national army will really be built,” he said. The government faces a number of obstacles, though. It needs the most powerful militias on its side to help disband the rest. It also relies on militias for protection of vital institutions and has used them to secure the borders, airports, hospitals and even July’s election. Some of the militias have taken steps over the past several weeks to consolidate and work as contracted government security forces that are paid monthly salaries. In the western city of Misrata, for example, resident Walid Khashif said dozens of militias held a meeting recently and

He said the militias also handed over three main prisons in the city to the Ministry of Justice to run. Since Gadhafi’s capture and killing, the government has brought some militias nominally under the authority of the military or Interior Ministry, but even those retain separate commanders and often are only superficially subordinate to the state.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 26 people, including a Saudi, a Syrian and three Iraqi women. The executions were announced with no details about the names or trials of those who were killed, drawing widespread international denunciation. Haider al-Saadi, the spokesman for the Iraqi Justice Ministry, said the death penalty is the best way for the Iraqi government to ease the suffering of the victims’ families. “The criminals in Iraq are not like the ones in Switzerland or other European Union countries or any others,” he said. “Iraq today is facing the most dangerous terrorists in the world.” Iraqi courts have issued 867 death sentences since 2004, with most of them still on death row. The most prominent Iraqi to be executed since Saddam’s fall was the dictator himself, hanged on Dec. 30, 2006, for his role in the 1982 killings of 148 Shiites following a failed assassination attempt in the early 1980s. A handful of his senior henchmen followed him to the gallows. After the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, coalition authority officials suspended Iraq’s death penalty, which Saddam and his Sunni regime had used to get rid of his opponents in the majority Shiite country. Shiites have led Iraq since, and in 2004 the transitional government reinstated capital punishment. Now, the gov-

ernment is showing increasing enthusiasm for the death penalty as a law-and-order tool. Iraq was ranked fourth among the top five executioners in the world in 2011, according to London-based Amnesty International. It said most of those who were put to death were convicted of murder, kidnapping, rape and other violent crimes. China is on the top of the list, with thousands of people believed to be executed each year, followed by Iran and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. was ranked fifth. Amnesty said the people executed in Iraq were sentenced in courts that “failed to meet international fair trial standards.” It accused Iraq of issuing convictions in at least some cases that were based on torturing or otherwise coercing witnesses into giving statements against the accused. It has also said that some defendants were sentenced after trials that lasted just a few minutes. U.S. auditors estimate American taxpayers have spent about $10 billion since 2003 to rebuild and strengthen Iraq’s justice system after decades of Saddam’s abuse. Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar, the spokesman for Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, defended Iraqi courts as independent and immune to political pressures. “We have a law and all our judges work according to it. All the trials and proceedings are according to the international law,” he said.

Libya Chris Stevens was killed in an attack on Benghazi, Obama defended his foreign policy successes, noting he’d followed through on a commitment to end the war in Iraq and had nabbed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. He also waxed optimistic that winning a second term would give him a mandate to overcome obstructionism from congressional Republicans whose No. 1 goal, he said, has been to prevent his re-election. “My expectation is, my hope is that that’s no longer their number one priority,” Obama said. “I’m hoping that after the smoke clears and the election season’s over that that spirit of cooperation comes more to the fore.”

official. Over the past 11 months, a series of interim leaders has struggled to bring order to a country that was eviscerated during the eccentric dictator’s 42-year rule, with security forces and the military intentionally kept weak and government institutions hollowed of authority. Powerful militias like Ansar al-Shariah in eastern Libya say there is no clear system in place for how the head of the joints chief of staff decides which militias are legitimate and which are not. The extremist group, which is suspected in the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate, was not

deemed legitimate by the state. Rather than join the military, the Ansar militia, viewed as the most disciplined and feared one in the east, said it disbanded on Sunday. “Now, we have only light personal weapons,” said Youssef Jihani, a senior figure in the group. He said the group turned over heavier weapons to Libya Shield, a major militia in Benghazi relied on by authorities. Senior figures from Libya Shield in Benghazi could not be immediately reached for verification. The move to disband comes after some 30,000 people took to the streets of Benghazi for a mass protest against the militias on Friday. The protesters drove out Ansar gunmen and set fire to cars in their compound once a major base for Gadhafi’s feared security forces. Others stormed into the Jalaa Hospital, driving out Ansar fighters there. The militias, born as people took up arms to fight Gadhafi’s regime, are organized largely along local lines and bristle with heavy weapons. Many pay little attention to national authorities and have been accused of acting like gangs and carrying out extrajudicial killings. Islamist militias often also push their demands for enforcement of strict religious law.

Backers of the ousted regime continue to hold sway in some parts of the country, particularly the western city of Bani Walid and parts of the deep south.

Celebrating FALL

Word of the Week Autumn — the season between summer and winter

Newspaper Knowledge Your newspaper will probably publish a summary of the previous week’s weather. What was the average high temperature: the average low temperature? If the temperatures were given in Fahrenheit, convert to Celsius. What was the high Celsius reading: The lowest Celsius reading? What was the precipitation in centimeters?

Leaf Facts • Leaves require sunlight, water, chlorophyll and carbon dioxide to make food for themselves. • As winter approaches, leaves make a coating for themselves which blocks their water source; in the absence of water, the leaves no longer produce chlorophyll (chlorophyll is what makes leaves green). • When the leaves turn colors in the fall, they actually are returning to their normal colors. During the summer months, the chlorophyll present in the leaves causes the leaves to turn green, blocking the leaves' actual colors. • Along with chlorophyll, leaves contain two other chemicals that cause coloring. The first is called xanthophyll, which is yellow in color. The other is carotene, which is orange in color. • Red and purple leaves are actually caused by the presence of sugars from sap that is trapped inside of the leaves. • Once the leaves have turned brown, they are dead and no longer receive any nutrients.

The Bookshelf Why Do Leaves Change Color? author: Betsey Maestro Harvest Moon author: Ralph Fletcher The Autumn Equinox author: Ellen Jackson

Write On! It’s time for our leaves to start changing colors. Take a nice day and go out collecting different colors and styles of leaves. Keep a journal on what you have found, and share it with your class.

NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

Fall is a beautiful time of year with crisp cool air, colorful leaves and a harvest of plentiful vegetables. But do we know the scientific reasons behind the changing of the seasons? Learn some cool facts about autumn here! A Season of Color The season of autumn can provide us with some very interesting weather and social event facts that they can use for science and social studies reports. There are many different changes that occur in the fall giving us much to learn and write about. Get your research started with these cool facts on fall. The Dates of Autumn There is no fixed time period for the season of Autumn. It can shift from year to year. This is because the earth's orbit is not perfect. Although most people are not aware of it, the first day and last day of autumn generally shift about 24 hours every year. The beginning of Fall generally falls between September 21 and September 23 depending on the year. This day is known as the fall equinox. On this day the amount of sun and the amount of night are equal, which is the same as the Spring equinox. The last day of Autumn falls on December 21 to December 23. Standing an Egg There are only two days of the year when you can stand an egg on end. One of these days falls on the first

day of autumn. To do this you will need an egg. It does not have to be hard-boiled. Place the egg on a hard flat surface on its largest end. Carefully pull your hands away and it should remain upright. This can only be done on the spring and fall equinox. Why Do Leaves Fall Off Leaves are the energy generators for plants. By using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide and chlorophyll they create food for the tree. The trees then pass oxygen into the air. The reason that the leaves change color is due to the shortening of the days. As this occurs the leaves begin to produce less chlorophyl and change color. Many people think that the leaves turn color but this is not true. The leaves are actually the colors we see in the fall. The reason that the

Leaves Word Search

leaves are green is because they are full of chlorophyll. Animals Hibernate Toward the end of the season, depending on where you live, mammals and reptiles will begin to prepare for the winter. Animals such as bears, groundhogs and other small mammals will fatten up for the long winter months. They will select a secluded place where they will be able to stay warm and dry and then sleep through cold months when food is scarce. Many cold-blooded reptiles will perform the same act. Frogs and snake will find a warm comfortable spot and sleep until the spring thaw. Certain birds are also migratory and will begin to move south as the weather cools the water and causes plants that they use as food to die off. As the lakes in the north

freeze Canadian Geese will leave their summer homes in Canada and use one of the many flight ways in the United States to reach warmer climates. It Is Not Fall All Over the World The earth is tilted on its axis and that is what gives us our traditional four seasons. It is because of this tilt that not all area's of the earth experience the autumn in the same months. In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa The months of September, October and November are actually spring. This is because the tilt of the earth causes these regions to actually be closer to the sun. In the Northern Hemisphere the sun's rays are not hitting the planet as direct as they do in the south.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Libya: The murder in Benghazi on Sept. 11, of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, along with three colleagues could have catastrophic consequences for Libya. The crime demonstrates vividly the impotence of the authorities, thus far, to rein in heavily armed militias in a country that is still awash with weaponry from the revolution. In light of this appalling deadly attack, many international companies that have committed to operations in post-Qaddafi Libya will be reviewing their decisions. Meanwhile, those like Shell, who decided the country was still too dangerous to return to, will be congratulating themselves on their decisions. Without foreign investment, the oil-driven Libyan economy will not be able to broaden and diversify, to create much needed jobs. Worse, unless the militias are confronted and disarmed, they will continue to undermine what stability there is in the country, and drive increased factionalism. Yet it is not all bad news. The Libyans voted in July for a Legislature that will oversee the drafting of a new constitution within the next 18 months. Even as the world was still getting to grips with the news of the Benghazi assassinations, that Legislature went ahead and in two ballots, chose a new prime minister from a candidate list of eight. Mustafa Abu Shagur, now has two weeks in which to form his government. It is absolutely clear that the new premier’s priority has to be security. … The truth is that until now, the unelected Libyan government has had neither the mandate nor the appetite to confront all those armed groups that are acting outside the law. Disarming the militias will not be easy. … Abu Shagur’s new government must start to respond, the minute it takes office. London Evening Standard on Afghanistan: Britain is officially withdrawing troops from Afghanistan in 2014, at the same time as the United States. The Defense Secretary, Philip Hammond, has however hinted in an interview recently that the process is to be speeded up. “There may,” he said, “be some scope for a little bit more flexibility on the way we draw down.” This is the right approach. Our troops have shown remarkable courage and endurance, and still the killing goes on. The question is, what will they leave behind? A fully functioning democracy is unlikely; so is an uncorrupt state. But there are hopes that Afghanistan may not return to the chaos of the 1990s. British troops have invested much energy in training the Afghan military and police. Notwithstanding attacks on allied troops by their Afghan colleagues, that effort is paying off. Indeed the success of Afghan forces in doing the work of British forces is the reason Hammond feels able to think about an earlier withdrawal. A Royal United Services Institute report suggested that elements of the Taliban would be willing to negotiate a ceasefire, renounce al-Qaeda and allow some U.S. bases to remain after withdrawal. The most sensible course would be to engage in these negotiations. Hammond indeed says that we shall have to get used to “reaching out, Northern Ireland-style to at least the moderate part of the insurgency”. So we should. And if the Taliban would not be prepared to countenance President Hamid Karzai remaining in power, well, that is a price we can pay. If we keep al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan, we can then concentrate our scrutiny on the greater security threat from Pakistan. If negotiations with the Taliban lead to a settlement that will make British troops unnecessary in Afghanistan, that would be a good outcome.

LETTERS

Federal spending is out of control To the Editor: It is time to stop this out of control federal government. We are $16 trillion in debt and the federal reserve just approved $40 billion of new debt each month. We will soon be at $17 trillion in debt. Our nation cannot survive this. We are adding more to our massive amounts of people on

unemployment and other government-subsidized programs. The mainstream press reported last week that 47 percent of Americans rely on the government for some type of assistance. It is imperative that we become a self sufficient people and we can do this by going back to work. No more government bailouts, stop the unnecessary government handouts that keep people dependent, and restore America to her

greatness. Let’s cut taxes for businesses and individuals and bring industry, production, and self sufficiency back to the United States. When you vote in November, vote for fiscal responsibility and less government. Mitt Romney as President and Josh Mandel in the Senate will put us on the right track.

DOONESBURY

Sometimes you have to fly the not-so friendly skies I don't fly very often, maybe once or twice a year, so every time I get on a plane it's an adventure because they've changed all the rules again. My latest adventure was a flight from Dayton to Denver. It started out well enough -- I learned how to verify my reservation on line the night before and print out my boarding pass. I didn't even have to stop at the counter. Now, that's progress. Since I was carrying only a backpack with enough clothes for a weekend, I didn't have to check any bags so I didn't have an extra fee. When I was a boy the few times we flew were big events. Everyone got all dressed up like we were going to church and the people who worked at the airport were like minor deities -- they knew everything and held your fate in their hands. Now, people get more dressed up to go to the gym than they do to get on a plane. I'm not sure, but I think it's against the rules for airport workers to smile, especially the security people. That's where my first road bump showed up. I was wearing comfortable but very presentable pants for my flight. I've had them for a long time — so long, in fact, that I owned them when I used to be a

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist little heavier than I am now. So it was no problem for me to put all my belongings in the little tray and take off my sweater and my shoes when it came my time to get a security scan. But then I had to take off my belt, too. And when they made me hold my hands over my head so they could do that full body scanner thing, I was afraid I was going to create an incident. Fortunately, everything stayed in place and it's no big thing these days to be wearing pants that look like they're falling off. When I collected my belongings, the first thing I put back on was my belt. When I got on the plane I took my aisle seat. Two seats over was a young lady and there was an empty seat in between. So I started the universal game of airplane anxiety: will the thing I have to sit next to for the next 2 1/2 hours be animal, mineral or alien? Is that

— Mary Ellen McKinley Piqua

300-pound guy doing the bumper car thing as he comes down the aisle going to sit next to me? Whew! He went by. How about that woman with the little baby who looks like he's getting ready to scream for the entire flight? Whew! She passed by. Finally, there is a little confusion. We got on the plane at Gate 19B and there are various people who all think they have seat 19B because they are reading their boarding passes incorrectly. I might have six or seven people sitting next to me. Finally, they get it worked out and a very thin, young woman sits down next to me, so all is well. Except for the seat. On a good day when I'm standing up straight, I am about 6 feet tall. They make airplane seats for people with much shorter legs. They're just not high enough and between trying to get comfortable and keeping from touching the person sitting next to me, I have a hard time getting settled. I tell myself it's only for 2 1/2 hours, I can survive. It used to be they gave you stuff to eat and drink and showed you a movie, but that's different now, too. You can get coffee, tea or soft drinks for free. Since I am on a 6:30 a.m. flight and I don't drink coffee, that pretty much rules me out. They will sell me bottled

water and various snacks for baseball park prices, but I came prepared. I filled my little water bottle at the airport after going through the security line, so I have my own supply. Except the water at the airport pretty much tastes like aviation fuel. I now understand why the Coke is free and the bottled water costs money. As for the movies, there is a little TV in the back seat of the seat in front of me. For a fee, I can watch bad TV programs or a movie, but I brought a book. The only trouble is, they keep flashing annoying advertisements and previews on the screen, which are rather distracting. I try to ignore it the best I can. Fortunately, the people sitting near me have no more interest in holding a conversation than I do, so the flight is uneventful. I consider it an educational experience and best of all, the plane lands safely in Denver to so I get to visit with my daughter and her family. My wife flew out earlier and we have a long weekend together, so all is well. I just wonder what they will change by the time we fly back.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • John Cashman ATLANTIS, Fla. (AP) — John Cashman, a veteran of the harness racing industry and the father of New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, has died. He was 72. Carol Hodes, publicity director for the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of NJ, says John Cashman died Saturday in Atlantis, Fla. She says Cashman had been battling pancreatic cancer. A New York native and an avid fan of harness racing since he was a young boy, Cashman would often accompany his father a steward for the New York State Racing & Wagering Board to the racetrack and other industry events. In 1992, Cashman was inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in Goshen, N.Y., where he served as an active trustee. • Marv Kessler NEW YORK — Marv Kessler, a wisecracking basketball guru who preached the fundamentals of the game in a halfcentury career that spanned high school, college and the NBA, has died. He was 82. He had been diagnosed with cancer several years ago and died Wednesday at NYU Medical Center, according to longtime friends. Kessler graduated from North Carolina State in 1958 after playing on the basketball team for three seasons. He coached at Martin Van Buren High School in his home borough of Queens before leaving to become head coach at Adelphi University on Long Island in 1972. He compiled an 88-60 record in six seasons with the Panthers. He was an assistant coach at Davidson from 1979-81 and then began his association with the NBA, serving as an advance scout for Detroit, Washington, Portland and Sacramento. For a short time he was head coach of Hapoel Holon of the Israeli Professional League. His reputation as a speaker at clinics, where he used humor and fundamentals to get his point across, extended nationwide. His days at the famed Five-Star Basketball Camp are legendary for his work with individual players and the fullcamp lectures that informed and entertained. Kessler was strictly from basketball’s oldschool. He stressed preparation and discipline, looking for an opponent’s weakness, goading his players to be better, berating them when he thought that might do the trick. And he did it with a standup comic’s touch a Catskill mountain schtick melding John Wooden with Jackie Mason. “I’ve known Marv for 40 years, since I was 14,” Fordham coach Tom Pecora said Saturday. “His creative thinking and sense of humor when it came to basketball were what made him so special to me and so many others. What he was able to do is unparalleled.” Kessler created a new career for himself over the last two decades. He was hired by many college and NBA coaches to attend their practices and suggest ways to become more effective.

Kessler, who received a master’s degree from Columbia in 1960, was inducted into Adelphi’s Hall of Fame in 1997. He is survived by his wife, Irene, and daughters Andrea and Gayle. Services are Sunday at 10 a.m. at Sinai Chapel in Flushing.

• Edwin P. Wilson SEATTLE — Edwin P. Wilson, a former CIA operative who was branded a traitor and convicted of shipping arms to Libya but whose conviction was later overturned after he served 22 years in prison, has died. He was 84. Wilson died Sept. 10 in Seattle from complications from a heart valve replacement surgery, said Craig Emmick, a director at Columbia Funeral Home in Seattle. Wilson who set up front companies abroad for the CIA and posed as a rich American businessman was convicted in 1983 for shipping 20 tons of C-4 plastic explosives to Libya. At trial, he said he did it to ingratiate himself with the Libyan government at the CIA’s request. A federal judge threw out his conviction in 2003, saying the government failed to correct information about Wilson’s service to the CIA that it admitted internally was false. Wilson had been sentenced to 52 years in prison for selling arms and explosives to Libya in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and for other crimes, including attempted murder and criminal solicitation. He served 22 years in prison until he was released in 2004. He then moved to Edmonds, Wash., north of Seattle, to live with his brother. While in prison, he sought to provide his innocence by using the Freedom of Information Act to request government documents. Wilson was born May 3, 1928, to a farming family in Nampa, Idaho. He worked as a merchant seaman, and earned a psychology degree from the University of Portland in 1953.

TROY — Beverly R. Burns, 81, of Troy, went home to the Lord peacefully at 7:50 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, at the Koester Pavilion in Troy, Ohio, after a eight-month illness. She was born March 14,1931, in Lexington, Ky., to the late Andrew O. and Virginia (Corbin) Ritchie. She married Richard H. Burns of Ridgewood, N.J., in Lexington, Ky. on Sept. 9, 1953, and he survives. A blessed 59 years of marriage — no man could ask for anything more. Beverly loved her family and home to which she committed her whole life — family was always first. Beverly is survived by two cherished children, Dr. Richard H. Burns Jr. DDS MS (Claudia) of New Philadelphia, Ohio, and Laura B. Scarff (Rick) of Naperville, Ill.; and three cherished grandchildren, Rachel and Joel Burns and Andrew Scarff. She also is survived by two sisters, Glenna R. Graves and her husband Jake of Lexington, Ky., and Andrea R. Watson of Georgetown, Ky.; and many loving nieces and BURNS nephews. Beverly was raised in Lexington, Ky., attending the University High School before moving to Auburn, Ala. in January of 1949, and was a 1949 graduate of Auburn High School. She also attended Auburn University, Auburn, Ala. for 3-and-a-half years and lacked one quarter to graduate — choosing to finalize plans to marry recent Auburn University graduate Richard. She was a fashion illustration major with a minor in clothing. She was a loving and tireless homemaker as well as an avid gardener and bird watcher. She was also a dedicated and prolific reader of the Bible. She later worked at Uhlman’s Dress Shop, Riburn Industries Inc., St. Paris, Ohio, Mail Boxes Etc., Christian Book Store, and Night Sky Coffee & Eatery. Beverly also worked with a friend as home decorators. She was a friend to everyone, always finding time to be an interested and engaging listener — never in a hurry. Beverly was a faithful worker in both

the First Presbyterian and the First United Methodist Churches in Troy. She was also a devoted Stouder Hospital and UVMC volunteer for many years, never accepting any recognition, as well as a visiting hospital chaplain, reading volunteer at the Van Cleve Junior High School, Sunday School teacher and also volunteering at the Hayner Cultural Center and Overfield Early Childhood. Beverly also designed the Miami County Park District logo. She enjoyed playing tennis, bridge and just about any game, especially Monopoly with her grandchildren — almost impossible to beat — she was her grammar school Jack champion. She was also a great cook, dancer and entertainer, a person of many talents, but very private and unassuming. Funeral service will be conducted at 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 27 at the FisherCheney Funeral Home, Troy, with Associate Pastor Douglas R. Magin presiding.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Tom must be the one to put his family in its place Dear Annie: I have been with my boyfriend, "Tom," for more than a year. We love each other very much. However, early in our relationship, I was coming out of a rough breakup with my ex. I made a huge mistake thinking I could keep the ex as a friend. We met for dinner and ended up kissing. I confessed to Tom, who briefly broke things off. He eventually took me back, and I haven't spoken to my ex since. The problem is, Tom's sister and mother have not been so forgiving. His sister ignores or insults me when I come to their house. Tom's mother does the same, although only when his sister is around. At first I accepted it because I deserved it. But it's been nearly a year, and things have only gotten worse. I have apologized repeatedly, to no avail. Tom's best friend recently moved in with him, and now the guy's girlfriend is at Tom's house a lot. We used to be on good terms, but they have poisoned her against me. Tom doesn't want to be involved and gets defensive when I tell him how disrespectful his sister is toward me. He says she's just socially inept, which could be true, but still. I don't know how much longer I can take such treatment, and frankly, I'm not sure I deserve it. — Enough Is Enough Dear Enough: Your problem isn't Tom's family. It's Tom. If he had truly forgiven you and was committed to your relationship, he would not permit his family to treat you so poorly. He is still punishing you — by proxy. His unwillingness to "be involved" means your relationship is not going to improve anytime soon. Tom may not be capable of genuine forgiveness, and it's better to know it sooner than later. Dear Annie: Why don't some people know when to go home after dinner? We enjoy cocktails and appetizers for two hours beforehand and continue to socialize during a leisurely dinner and dessert. However, these guests stay long after the coffee is behind us. We have even started removing the dishes, but they just don't get the hint. Without being rude and handing them their car keys, what is the best way to let these guests know that we are tired and want to call it a day? — Tired in Toutle Dear Toutle: Try talking about your plans for the next morning, asking your guests if they need a ride home, turning on the porch light or offering to get their coats. If these things don't work, you can always say, "This has been so much fun, but it's late, and I have an early morning. Let's get together again soon." Dear Annie: I would like to respond to "Cape Coral, Fla.," whose university student son is finding college math professors unfeeling, unhelpful and uncaring. As a college math instructor, I admit that we have our share of sub-par teachers. I think this is due to two factors: First, the material can be challenging to explain, and second, it is often the case that a person who is gifted mathematically is lacking in social skills. That being said, I agree with your advice to find a tutor on campus. As I have told many a student: Don't let your instructor stand in the way of your education. Students must learn to be resourceful and seek out assistance as soon as they encounter difficulty. More importantly, most of the students who struggle in my classes have poor study habits. In the end, their education is their responsibility. — Math Teacher in Montreal Dear Readers: Today is Family Day (casafamilyday.org). Studies show that children who eat dinner with their parents have a reduced risk of substance abuse. Please try to make meals a family event.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Cords that can’t go the distance are a problem Dear Heloise: My gripe is the short cords used on coffee makers and toasters. I have one sideboard with one electrical outlet. The cords all are short, so they don’t reach the outlet unless I put one appliance on top of the other (of course I can’t do that). It would be nice if appliances had retractable cords, as with a vacuum cleaner. I read your column daily in the (Waterville, Maine) Morning Sentinel. Keep up the good work. — Jan in Waterville, Maine You are right — they should be long enough to

Hints from Heloise Columnist safely reach an outlet and have room for other appliances on the counter. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for wire dry-cleaning hangers: • Roasting marshmallows. • Unclogging drains. • For getting hard-to-reach

items. • As plant stakes. • Use to restring a drawstring. — Heloise HELOISE’S SALT SUBSTITUTE Dear Heloise: Do you have a recipe for a salt substitute? Could you please print it? — Sasha in St. Louis Yes, I do, and here is the recipe for this healthy alternative. It is a great recipe for those who need to watch their salt intake. You need: 5 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon thyme 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 teaspoon celery seed Mix all ingredients and place in an airtight, labeled container. Store in a cool, dry place away from the oven. For other seasoning recipes, along with sauces, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes. Send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Looking for a simple marinade? Try Italian dressing. — Heloise

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to schmooze with others and focus on friends, groups and organizations. All gatherings will have a few surprises for you plus you might meet someone rather unusual. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Certain aspects of your personal life will be public today, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents and VIPs. This includes the police. (Just be aware of this if you want to do some damage control.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Take a break from your daily routine and do something different today. Travel if you can. Go someplace you’ve never been before. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make friends with your bank account, because a few surprises could be in store for you related to debt, bills, insurance matters, inheritances and shared property. A female friend might help you today. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is directly opposite your sign, which means you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This simply requires patience, tolerance and cooperation. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make an effort to get better organized today, because this will really please you. Similarly, you might come up with some ideas about how to improve your health. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a playful, prankish day! Spontaneous decisions and impulsive choices will bring you interesting experiences. However, it is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Be alert. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with a female relative or your mother could be significant today. Your focus is definitely on home and private matters. (Minor breakages could occur.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a mildly accident-prone day; nevertheless, it’s a fun, upbeat day as well! Just don’t let distractions cause you a problem. (Ouch.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep an eye on your cash flow today, because you might find money or you might lose money. Similarly, guard your possessions against loss or theft. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today the Moon is in your sign, giving you lots of energy and a bit of extra good luck. However, you might feel a bit more emotional than usual. (No biggie.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Secrets might come out today. You could discover them or you, yourself, might reveal them! (An interesting day.) YOU BORN TODAY It’s important for you to have goals, because you are hardworking and dedicated to whatever you embrace. You’re a perfectionist who does something again and again until you get it right, which means you have high standards for yourself and others. You are comfortable with your public image, but you are private about your personal life. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Will Smith, actor; Ian Tyson, singer/songwriter; Catherine Zeta-Jones, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

uneven host. Aaron Paul won best supporting drama actor for “Breaking Bad” and “Homeland” won the best writing award. On the comedy side, Emmy voters decided that “Two and a Half Men” with Jon Cryer and without Charlie Sheen is really good, as Cryer claimed the best comedy actor trophy. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honored as best actress in comedy for “Veep.” Maggie Smith was honored as best supporting drama actress for her tarttongued dowager in “Downton Abbey,” unhurt by the program’s move from the miniseries category. “Homeland,” the domestic espionage thriller, won the best drama writing award. “Modern Family” made it look easy as the comedy won the best directing trophy and Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen claimed supporting actor awards.

‘Homeland’ and ‘Modern Family’ win big at Emmys LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Homeland,” which puts the battle against terrorism on American soil, was honored as best drama series at Sunday’s Emmys and earned trophies for stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis. “Modern Family” was named best comedy. “We feel so lucky, lucky not only to have jobs in these challenging times, but to have jobs that we love with people we love,” said Steven Levitan, co-creator of “Modern Family.” The drama “Homeland” stopped “Mad Men” in its tracks, denying the show a record-setting fifth trophy and kept Bryan Cranston from his fourth consecutive best drama award for “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm an alsoran once more. The Emmys refused to play it predictably Sunday, with Jon Cryer of “Two and a Half Men” earning a best actor award and Jimmy Kimmel proving a game but

There was at least a minor backlash online as some questioned whether the show had a deserving season. Among reality competitors, “The Amazing Race” was honored as best reality series. Tom Bergeron of “Dancing With the Stars” won as best host of a reality series. Julianne Moore’s uncanny take on Gov. Sarah Palin in the TV movie “Game Change,” about the 2008 presidential campaign, earned her best actress honors. Kevin Costner was named best actor for the historybased miniseries “Hatfields & McCoys,” while Tom Berenger was named best supporting actor for the project and Jessica Lange won supporting actress honors for “American Horror Story.” ”Game Change” was crownd best series. “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” proved unstoppable, winning its 10th consecutive best variety show trophy.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, Sept. 24, the 268th day of 2012. There are 98 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 24, 1890, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Wilford Woodruff, wrote a manifesto renouncing the practice of polygamy, or plural marriage (the manifesto was formally accepted by the Mormon Church the following month). On this date: • In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street

panic known as “Black Friday” after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market. • In 1929, Lt. James H. Doolittle guided a Consolidated NY-2 Biplane over Mitchel Field in New York in the first all-instrument flight. • In 1934, Babe Ruth made his farewell appearance as a player with the New York Yankees in a game against the Boston Red Sox. (The Sox won, 5-0.) • In 1957, the Los Angeles-bound Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field, defeating the

Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0. • In 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.) • Today’s Birthdays: Pro and College Football Hall of Famer Joe Greene is 66. Contemporary Christian musician Juan DeVevo (Casting Crowns) is 37. Actor Justin Bruening is 33.

crown since 2000, would wash away all of the bad taste of th first half of the season. There’s still firm belief within the Troy program it can make a strong second-half run. First, however, some final note from Troy’s 7-6 loss to Miamisburg Saturday. • PLAYER OF THE GAME: In a game in which Troy struggled at times on both sides of the ball, this one is a nobrainer. Troy tailbcak Miles Hibbler carried the ball 33 times for 196 and Troy’s only touchdown. While he’s struggled with ball security the past two weeks – he has three fumbles in the Trojans’ last two games —

ATLANTA (AP) — Brandt Snedeker played the biggest round of his career for the biggest payoff in golf. Needing to win the Tour Championship on Sunday to beat out Rory McIlroy for the FedEx Cup, Snedeker came up with three big birdies on the back nine at East Lake to take all the drama out the final day that had been loaded with possibilities. Snedeker hit his final tee shot into the grandstand left the 18th green and made bogey. By then, it didn’t matter. So dominant was his performance that he was the only player from the last five groups who managed to break par, closing with a 2-under 68. SNEDEKER Along the way, he answered any questions about why Davis Love III made him a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup next week at Medinah. Snedeker won by three shots over Justin Rose (71) in the Tour Championship, his second title of the year, and collected $1.44 million. And he won the $10 million bonus for capturing the FedEx Cup, which comes with a fiveyear exemption on the PGA Tour. McIlroy and Tiger Woods, both of whom could have won the FedEx Cup with a victory Sunday, faded early and were never a factor. Snedeker joins Woods (twice), Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk and Bill Haas as winners of the FedEx Cup in its six-year history. McIlroy had won the last two playoff events and three of his last four tournaments dating to his eight-shot win in the PGA Championship. He still is virtually a lock to be voted PGA Tour player of the year, but he had to

Three plays away Close games unkind to Trojans BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com

TROY

TROY — The Troy football team is about three plays — and 14 points — away from being 50 this season. All of which serves as very little consolation for coach Scot Brewer and his team. For the third team this season, the Trojans suffered a heartbreaking loss Saturday morning — this time a 7-6 loss to Miamisburg in which a number of squandered red zone opportunities and a missed twopoint conversion ultimately led to the Trojans demise. Coupled with a loss on a hail mary against Chaminade Julienne in

Week 1 and a fumble inside Springfield 15 yard line in Week 4, it’s all added up to a very frustrating 2-3 season for the Trojans. “We’ve just got to keep working,” Brewer said. “We can’t quit. We’ve got to get this turned around for the second half of the season.” At the midway point of the season — is the season really already halfway finished? — Troy still has an opportunity to have a stellar season. A 7-3 finish — which would mean a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division Chamionship, Troy’s first league

Fitzpatrick leads Bills past Browns, 24-14 CLEVELAND (AP) — When C.J. Spiller got hurt, the Buffalo Bills lost the NFL’s leading rusher, most of their momentum and another major offensive threat. Ryan Fitzpatrick wouldn’t let them lose the game. Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes and the better-than-advertised Bills overcame the loss of Spiller to a shoulder injury and beat the Cleveland Browns 24-14 on Sunday to snap an eight-game

road losing streak. Fitzpatrick, doing just enough to keep Buffalo’s offense moving, finished 22 of 35 for 208 yards as the Bills (2-1) turned to their passing game after Spiller, who has been filling in for Fred Jackson, went down in the first quarter with an injury that will likely sideline him a few weeks. The Bills won outside Buffalo for the first time since the 2011 opener at Kansas City. “We got the monkey off our

back,” Fitzpatrick said. “We always felt confident. This is a new year, a new team, but it was a good team win on the road. These are the most satisfying wins.” As the final seconds ticked off, some of Buffalo’s players celebrated with hundreds of Bills fans who made the short drive over from Western New York. Before he went out, Spiller, who came in leading the league with 292 rushing yards, scored

on a 32-yard screen pass from Fitzpatrick, who also threw a 9yard TD to T.J. Graham in the first quarter and hooked up with Stevie Johnson from 9 in the fourth to close the scoring. Bills coach Chan Gailey does not expect Spiller to be back for next week’s home game against New England and possibly longer. “I don’t believe it’s long, longterm,” Gailey said. “If he missed

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 he’s emerged as the Trojans primary threat on offense. His breakway speed makes him a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Several times against Miamisburg he appeared to be one broken tackle away from a long touchdown run. • UNSUNG HERO OF THE GAME: It’s hard to call Logan Schlosser an “unsung hero” anymore, given the fact he’s led the Trojans in tackles nearly every game they’ve played

this season, but his blocked punt helped set up Hibbler’s 20-yard touchdown run. Want to know where the ball is when the opposing team has the ball in any given Troy football game? Look for No. 27 — chances are he’s around the ball making a play. • PLAY OF THE GAME: Unfortunately for the Trojans, the biggest play — or series of plays in the game — didn’t end well. Down 7-0 in the first half Friday night — lightning

would eventually postpone the game to Saturday morning — the Trojans had a first-and-goal at the Miamisburg 1, but couldn’t score a touchdown on four rushing attempts. That provided a huge swing of momentum in Miamisburg’s favor in addition to the final margin of victory. • WHAT WE LEARNED: Troy’s offense continues to struggle. It actually moved the ball as well as it has all sea-

son — save for the 41-14 win against Springfield Shawnee in Week 2 — but couldn’t punch it in and score when it needed to. The Trojans can’t have a back rush for nearly 200 yards and only score one touchdown. Five times the Trojans had the ball inside the Miamisburg 30 — yet managed just six points. Troy’s defense has kept it in games all season — but to get over that final hump, it’s going to have to get more points from the

offense. • WHAT HAPPENS NOW: Despite a third heartbreaking loss, the Trojans still have much to play for. Conference play begins this week as a much-improved Sidney team comes to town. Troy closes out the season with five GWOC North opponents — Sidney, Butler, Trotwood, Greenville and Piqua. While a postseason berth is a true longshot at this point — although stranger things have hap-

pened; see 2009 when Troy was one win away from making the playoffs as a 64 team — the Trojans control their own destiny when it comes to winning the league. It’s pretty simple, really — if Troy goes 5-0, it wins its first league championship in more than a decade. Troy has a number of things to shore up in the second half of the season, but if it can, there’s no reason to believe the Trojans can’t contend for a GWOC North crown.

Browns

Wright, Smith help Bluffton to another win

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 a week that’s long for me. He’s going to be out for sure this week and then we’ll see.” Spiller will undergo further testing Monday. He was not available for interviews. For the Browns (0-3), the losing continues. Cleveland has lost nine straight dating to last season, and one of the league’s youngest teams was not able to build off a solid performance last week in Cincinnati. “We just didn’t get it done,” said coach Pat Shurmur, who dropped to 4-15 in two seasons. “There are no magical answers. We just didn’t get it done.” When Spiller got hurt, the Bills appeared to be in trouble. But Fitzpatrick made big throws when he needed to and third-string running back Tashard Choice 91 yards. gained Fitzpatrick has eight TD passes, and he has not thrown an interception since tossing three picks in the Bills’ season-opening loss to the Jets. Fitzpatrick got great protection from an offensive line that has only allowed one sack this season. He passed around some compliments afterward, crediting his teammates for stepping up without Spiller. “We knew we had to put our foot on the gas again and when we did, the offensive line was revved up and ready to go,” he said. “It was a heck of a job by Tashard. He got some really tough yards for us.” The Browns were again plagued by costly penalties, dropped passes and an inability to stop the run. Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden went 27 of 43 for 237 yards and a TD pass to fellow rookie

Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (33) escapes a tackle by Buffalo Bills linebacker Mario Williams in the first quarter Sunday in Cleveland. Travis Benjamin. However, he was intercepted twice in the final 4:21 as he tried to rally the Browns. Buffalo’s defense limited Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson to just 27 yards on 12 carries. After rushing for 109 yards last week in Cincinnati, Richardson’s longest gain was his 6-yard TD run in the second quarter. “We wanted to stop Richardson,” Gailey said. “We talked about it and made a big deal about it. We did not want to let him get out. We wanted them to throw the football. It worked kind of like we thought it would.”

The Bills took a 10-point lead on Rian Lindell’s 37yard field goal before the Browns pulled within 17-14 on Weeden’s TD pass to a wide-open Benjamin. Fitzpatrick later led a 10-play, 68-ard drive, capping it by rifling his TD pass over the middle to Johnson, who got a step on cornerback Dimitri Patterson. Spiller was injured in the first quarter when he was tackled after a long gain on a pass play. He hit the ground with Browns safety Usama Young on his back, and Spiller was in obvious pain as Buffalo’s training staff

rushed onto the field to assist him. Spiller was helped to his feet and the third-year back gingerly supported his left arm as he was walked slowly to the sideline. He was placed on a cart and driven to the locker room for further evaluation and treatment. At that point, Buffalo’s chances of ending its road slide seemed bleak. But these Bills turned home-field Cleveland’s advantage into their own. “It was tough to lose him,” said Johnson, who had seven catches for 61 yards. “We have guys who can fill the void.”

BLUFFTON — The Bluffton Beavers won their third game of the season on Saturday, defeating the Mount St. Joseph Lions 147 at Salzman Stadium. It marked the first time the Beavers (3-1) hadn’t beaten the Lions since 2001, a string of 10 straight setbacks at the hands of MSJ. Troy graduate Tyler Wright led the Beavers through the air, going 10 for 14 with 104 yards. He also added 13 rushes for 41 yards. Another Troy grad in Nick Smith anchored the Bluffton defense with eight tackles. Mercyhurst 38, Slippery Rock 23 ERIE, Pa. — Mercyhurst University rode a big-play offense to a 31-7 halftime lead Saturday, then held off a Slippery Rock University comeback to record a 38-23 win in Pennsylvania State Athletic ConferenceWestern Division football action at Tullio Field. The loss, Slippery Rock’s fourth straight and fifth in the last five trips to Erie, evened its overall record at 2-2 and its PSAC-West record at 1-1. Mercyhurst improved to 3-1 overall, 2-0 in division action. Milton-Union graduate Kurt Brakman was a perfect 3 for 3 on extra point attempts. Urbana 14, Quincy 10 URBANA — Quincy University jumped all over Urbana with 10 first quarter points, but Urbana rallied for a 14-10 victory Saturday. Milton-Union graduate

Kyle Wallace started at center for Urbana, which improved to 3-1 on the season. Jacksonville 21, Dayton 17 DAYTON — Colby Walden returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown with 1:23 remaining to lift Jacksonville past Dayton 21-17 Saturday in the Pioneer Football League opener for both teams. The Flyers (1-3) had taken the lead just 16 seconds earlier on Ross Smith’s 5-yard pass from Will Bardo, capping a 12-play drive lasting more than 5 minutes. Toledo 38, C. Carolina 28 TOLEDO — Terrance Owens passed for 290 yards and three touchdowns, and Toledo beat Coastal Carolina 38-28 Saturday night in nonconference play. The Rockets (3-1) won their third straight after a season-opening 24-17 overtime loss at Arizona. Virginia Tech 37, BGSU 0 BLACKSBURG, Va. — Logan Thomas helped Virginia Tech find its running game and the defense showed up, too, as the Hokies bounced back from a humbling loss a week ago with a 37-0 victory against Bowling Green. Miami (Ohio) 27, UMass 16 OXFORD — Zac Dysert threw for three touchdowns and became the career completions leader for Miami (Ohio) as the RedHawks spoiled Massachusetts’ debut in Mid-American Conference play by winning 27-16 Saturday.

Dalton completed 19 of 27 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns. Green caught nine passes for a career-high 183 yards and a score. The game was tied at 24 when Dalton led a pair of long fourth-quarter drives, hitting tight end Jermaine Gresham on a 6yard completion to take the lead and Andrew Hawkins down the middle for a 59yard strike that gave the Bengals a two-touchdown cushion with 7:08 left to play. But Griffin has quickly proven that he’s hard to shut down. He brought the Redskins (1-2) back from a 24-7 deficit, then nearly

pulled even again after being down 38-24. His 2yard run at the end of a 90yard drive cut the lead to 38-31 with 3:35 remaining, and a potential game-tying drive went from Washington’s 2 all the way to Cincinnati’s 19 in the final two minutes. Then it got weird. Griffin was sacked for a 15yard loss. Then he spiked the ball with 7 seconds left. Then tight end Fred Davis was called for a false start. Then coach Marvin Lewis and the Bengals, anticipating a 10-second runoff, thought the game was over and walked onto the field en masse. Then an official

called an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on a livid Redskins sideline. The officials replacement refs while the regulars are locked out in a labor dispute with the league marked off a total of 25 yards for the two penalties, instead of 20. All of which meant the game ended with Griffin’s long incompletion on a third-and-50 from Washington’s 41. It was the second straight week in which an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty thwarted a Redskins drive that could’ve tied the game in the final two minutes. Last Sunday, Joshua Morgan threw the ball at another player in a three-point loss to the St. Louis Rams. “We can’t have those type of things in those situations,” Griffin said.

They ran several endarounds, used a no-huddle package that befuddled the Redskins, let BenJarvus Green-Ellis take a direct snap on a 1-yard touchdown run and had touchdown completions of 48, 59 and 73 yards.

Buckeyes, Spartans have much to prove COLUMBUS (AP) — From the outside, it looks like the premier game on the opening week of Big Ten play: The conference’s two highest ranked teams, with a combined 7-1 record. But the guys closest to No. 14 Ohio State and 20thranked Michigan State (3-1) know better. “We’ve got a long way to go,” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said on Saturday after a closer-than-expected 29-15 victory over winless UAB. “The fact is we’re a bend-and-break defense, which is painful to watch. And then we’re not a methodically dominating offense. I mean, we’re not a very good offense right now.” Things weren’t a whole lot different just over 200 miles to the north. Michigan State linebacker Denicos Allen said the locker room was somber after the Spartans were pushed around at times before muscling past winless Eastern Michigan 23-7 on Saturday. “Everybody knew that we didn’t play like we should. So it was kind of a down mood,” he said. “We need to do our job better and prepare better, especially going into Big Ten. We can’t make the mistakes we did today. All the dropped passes, and missed tackles — all the little things we need to fix.” Despite playing four nonconference home games, the Buckeyes have looked more like the 2011 team that lost seven games — matching the program’s most since 1897 — than the new-look, fresh-start team anticipated under Meyer. The Buckeyes have been rocked by penalties, an inability to make tackles in the open field, giving up big plays and an erratic offense that has trouble putting together first downs for long spans of time. Meyer said he was pleased with his players’ effort, but they didn’t sound like they were. “Some guys take a play off a little bit,” star quarterback Braxton Miller said. “I don’t know what it is. We’ve got to fix that. That’s one of our big problems.” Even though Meyer criticized every phase of his team — calling the Buckeyes “passive” and saying the defense wasn’t up to Ohio State’s standards and the offense’s explosiveness was “non-existent” — he was upbeat and confident around the Buckeyes after the game. “He was happy. You can’t be grumpy about a win. A win is a win no matter if you win by one or a hundred,” wide receiver Corey Brown said. “At the end of the day we’re 4-0 going into Big Ten play but we know we have to be better.” That was the theme in East Lansing, Mich., too, after the Spartans couldn’t put away an Eastern Michigan team that surrendered 31 points at home to FCS Illinois State but held the mistake-prone Spartans to eight fewer points. Most of the ire of fans has been directed at a wide-receiving corps that has consistently dropped passes, run poor routes and caused problems for first-time starting quarterback Andrew Maxwell. Head coach Mark Dantonio repeatedly refused attempts to even get him to talk about his team’s troubles. “Next question,” he said testily to any inquiry he didn’t like — which was most of them. Others were not nearly so reticent to address the Spartans’ problems. “I don’t think we made any progress at all,” said center Dan Roushar, although he did tip his cap to running back Le’Veon Bell’s career-best 253 yards rushing. “We are going to have to get a whole lot better.”

Santana carries Tribe past Royals KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — While Cleveland Indians slugger Carlos Santana is finishing strong, the Kansas City Royals will again be watching the playoffs. hit two Santana homers and drove in five runs as the Indians routed Kansas City 15-4 Sunday

in their highest-scoring game of the season. Santana connected for a two-run shot in the sixth inning off Jake Odorizzi, who lost in his major league debut. Santana added his team-leading 18th homer, a three-run drive during a seven-run ninth.

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Denny Hamlin stepped out of his car, pointed into the air and took a mighty swing of an invisible baseball bat. Like Babe Ruth did before him (or so the legend goes), Hamlin had called his shot. The top winner in NASCAR’s regular season earned his series-leading fifth victory of the year Sunday, backing up a tweet of “We will win” with a mistake-free and dominating run at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the second event of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. “You don’t want to sound too cocky, but I knew what we were capable of,” said Hamlin, who was 32nd in qualifying after his crew put the wrong pressure in his tires. “I know we made a couple of big mistakes, but I said we were fast enough to make it up and we did.” It was the 100th career victory for team owner Joe Gibbs, who also won three Super Bowls as the coach of the Washington Redskins. And it came with a little teamwork, too, when Kyle Busch slowed down to help suck some debris off the front of Hamlin’s car and propel him to victory. “As fast as he was, he could have gone to the back of any car and pulled that off,” said Jimmie Johnson, who finished second and took over the Chase lead. “I kind of thought he would be the guy to beat and he certainly was. We are secondbest.” Johnson will head into Dover, Del., one of his top

Denny Hamlin celebrates his win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sunday in Loudon, N.H. tracks, one point ahead of Chicago winner Brad Keselowski, who was sixth Sunday. Jeff Gordon, who was the last man to qualify for the Chase, was third. “We had a great race car,” said Johnson, a five-time NASCAR season champion, “just not an amazing car like the No. 11 did here today.” Hamlin improved to third in the Chase, seven points behind Johnson, despite a tumultuous week that began with him running out of gas in Chicago and continued when his crew used race pressure instead of qualifying pressure in his tires on Friday. Hamlin also had problems with his crew here in July, when confusion during a tire change dropped him into

He did better than that, taking the lead on the 94th lap and holding it for 193 laps in all. “He was the class of the field from the time we unloaded,” said Clint Bowyer, who finished fourth and is tied for fifth in the Chase. “I don’t know what they figured out, but they figured it out in a big way.” Hamlin, who won in New Hampshire in 2007, led for 150 laps here in July before a miscommunication with crew chief Darian Grubb over whether to change two tires or four cost him a chance at another win. Then, in the Chase opener in Chicago last week, he finished 16th after his crew failed to fill up his tank on the final pit stop.

traffic and left him scurrying to get back to the front of the field. But he was confident enough on this track, where now he has five top five finishes in his last seven races, that he told a group of U.S. National Guardsmen during a publicity trip to New Hampshire earlier this month that would be back to share a few beers in victory lane. And despite finishing 16th in Chicago, Hamlin tweeted: “This is week 1 of 10. We will win next week.” Hamlin had the fastest car in both practices, but the mistake in qualifying had him starting near the back of the field. Hamlin said he came to the track on Sunday with the goal of getting into the top 10 by the 100th lap.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 settle for second place in the FedEx Cup. “I knew what I needed to do,” McIlroy said. “I needed to win. Brandt knew what he needed to do. And he played fantastic.

He beat everybody at East Lake in a convincing fashion. After taking a double bogey on the par-3 sixth when he hit his tee shot into the water, Snedeker responded with a 40-foot birdie putt on the eighth, an 18-foot birdie putt on No. 13, and chipping in from short of the 17th green to end all doubt. “I had complete confidence in what I was doing,” Snedeker said.

Moore never was in the mix for the $10 million bonus, though he could have affected the outcome of the FedEx Cup.
