Miss Indiana not among finalists for Miss America ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Terrin Thomas’ quest to become Miss America ended Sunday night, when she was not selected as one the 15 finalists for the crown.

Thomas, 21, of Auburn participated in the weeklong competition as Miss Thomas Indiana.

Miss New York, Nina Davuluri, was named Miss America in the scholarship pageant held in Atlantic City, N.J. Thomas enjoyed a moment in the spotlight of Sunday’s national television broadcast of the pageant finals on ABC. As the telecast came out of a commerical break, co-host Lara Spencer stood beside Thomas and asked if she thought she would be one of the last two finalists to be announced.

“I sure hope so!” Thomas replied. But her wish did not come true.

Thomas will continue to reign as Miss Indiana for the next nine months while she resumes her studies as a junior at Indiana University.

She mentioned IU during her introduction on Sunday’s telecast. She said Indiana had the No. 2 and No. 4 choices in this year’s professional basketball draft, adding that she hoped to be No. 1 in the pageant.

Miss New York, the newly crowned Miss America will visit the scene of New Jersey’s devastating boardwalk fire.

WATERLOO — Residents in northeast Indiana don’t have to go far to see Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. He’s been in Waterloo since July and won’t leave until October.

Larry Smith, a fourth-generation farmer, turned his corn maze into a 12-acre likeness of the quarterback.

Three years ago, Smith and his family transformed a portion of their 450-acre farm into a fall festival area. For six weeks between September and October, the Smith family of Waterloo goes “all hands on deck” to run Amazing Fall Fun. The fall recreation area opens for the season Saturday.

“She said, ‘This might be something you could do,’ ” Smith said.

Smith is excited to provide something that draws so many people into DeKalb County. He estimates that nearly 10,00012,000 will visit this year’s maze.

“I get to meet people from all over,” Smith said.

He recalls a British couple who were driving on U.S. 6, noticed a sign and stopped in because they were curious.

Albion Harvest Fest to start Saturday Syria

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The 15th Annual Albion Harvest Fest Saturday and Sunday at the Noble County Saddle Club grounds on S.R. 8 in Albion will be doubly “a-maze-ing.”

After a year off, the corn maze is back as one of the attractions this year. The straw maze also will continue.

Also available throughout the festival will be a children’s area, the Northeastern Indiana Garden Tractor display, an antique saw mill demonstration, historic wagon tours of Albion, the Noble County Gas & Steam Association display of antique tractors, Northeast Indiana Draft Horse Association wagon rides, kite-flying, crafters and Trader’s Row.

LYONS, Colo. (AP) — The cars that normally clog Main Street in Lyons on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park have been replaced by military supply trucks. Shop owners in Estes Park hurriedly cleared their wares in fear that the Big Thompson River will rise again. A plywood sign encouraged residents mucking out their homes to “Hang in there.”

Days of rain and floods have transformed the outdoorsy mountain communities in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain foothills affectionately known “The Gore-Tex Vortex” from a paradise into a disaster area with little in the way of supplies or services — and more rain falling Sunday.

The string of communities from Boulder to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, is a base for backpackers and nature lovers where blue-collar and yuppie sensibilities exist side by side. Now, roadways have crumbled, scenic bridges are destroyed, the site of the bluegrass festival is washed out and most shops are closed.

Chris Rodes, one of Lyons’ newest residents, said the change is so drastic that he is considering moving away just two weeks after settling there.

“It’s not the same,” Rodes said.

increase will be kept down because of the help from the TIF money, Fisel said.

The LRC will not be getting any residential property tax funds as a result of the expansion, she added.

The LRC receives about $520,000 a year from the total property taxes collected in the TIF district. The LRC currently has about $1.5 million in its coffers.

The second advantage of including the downtown area in the TIF area will be to start a building-improvement fund for property owners.

LRC members envision a program that would provide matching grants to business owners who want to improve their buildings in the downtown area, primarily along S. Cavin Street (S.R. 5).

BEIRUT (AP) — A high-ranking Syrian official called the U.S.-Russian agreement on securing Syria’s chemical weapons a “victory” for President Bashar Assad’s regime, but the U.S. warned Sunday “the threat of force is real” if Damascus fails to carry out the plan.

The comments by Syrian Minister of National Reconciliation Ali Haidar to a Russian state news agency were the first by a senior Syrian government official on the deal struck a day earlier in Geneva. Under the agreement, Syria will provide an inventory of its chemical arsenal within one week and hand over all of the components of its program by mid-2014.

“We welcome these agreements,” Haidar was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti agency. “On the one hand, they will help Syrians get out of the crisis, and on the other hand, they averted a war against Syria by removing the pretext for those who wanted to unleash one.”

He added: “These agreements are a credit to Russian diplomacy and the Russian leadership. This is a victory for Syria, achieved thanks to our Russian friends.”

There has been no official statement from the Syrian government, and it was not clear whether Haidar’s comments reflected Assad’s thinking.

The deal, hashed out in marathon negotiations between U.S. and Russian diplomats, averts American missile strikes

Ligonier expands TIF district

BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — The Ligonier Redevelopment Commission has greatly expanded the size of its Warren tax-increment financing (TIF) district to include the downtown area along with several residential neighborhoods.

TIF districts are allowed by state law and can siphon off a portion of the property taxes generated in the designated areas.

Funds are then controlled by redevelopment commissions.

Ligonier officials had two goals in mind when they decided to expand the district, which originally was formed to cover most of the city’s industrial park.

The biggest advantage of the enlarged district will be to help pay for part of a $6.2 million combined-sewer overflow (CSO) project, mandated by state and federal environmental rules.

Ligonier has been working on its CSO project for the past several years and is completing the improvements in sections.

Funds from the TIF district will be applied to the overall costs, thereby reducing the impact the price of the CSO project will have on the sewer rates charged to Ligonier property owners, said Mayor Patty Fisel, a member of the Ligonier Redevelopment Commission.

How much TIF money will be applied to the $6.2 million cost of the project is yet to be determined, but it will probably be a one-time buy down. The remainder of the cost will be paid for by a long-term bond. This will cover the last phase of the CSO project.

And even with the help from the TIF monies, customers of the sewer department will see an increase in their rates. That

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Metropolitan Police are investigating the shooting of an 11-yearold boy by his 13-year-old sister.

Police originally said they believed the boy, who was shot in his left forearm, had been the victim of a drive-by shooting.

But Lt. Christopher Bailey says after further investigation police believe the sister accidentally shot her brother, but the investigation is continuing.

Police say the boy was shot about 9 p.m. Saturday.

Police say the 11-year-old boy was taken to Riley Hospital for Children, where he was in stable condition.

Police say Child Protective Services has been called in and the investigation is continuing.

The incident happened in the 3500 block of Dubarry Road on the far eastside just after 9 p.m., according to a police report.

common bird, it will probably be a bird that’s limited in number or distribution or both, a bird that requires a special effort, often going to a specific place to see.

One fellow bird watcher told me his favorite bird was the Blackburnian warbler.

That’s a little bird, black and white, and the male has a bright orange throat and marks on the head, the female has yellowish-orange. I’ve seen Blackburnian warblers in Indiana. But only during migration. They nest farther north and fly south, all the way across the Gulf of Mexico, and spend the winter in South America.

When non-birders have named duck as their favorite bird and I’ve asked what duck, the answer has been greenhead, pintail or sprig.

One greenhead is the drake mallard. But there’s a second duck with a green head, the drake shoveler. As for sprig, that’s another name for the pintail. A bird watcher once also told me his favorite bird was a duck, the Harlequin duck. That’s a common bird in its area, but its area is the Northwest and in the east, the far north. I’ve seen harlequin

ducks in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska.

I’ve never had a birder tell me his or her favorite bird was a sparrow or a blackbird, not any kind of sparrow or blackbird. There are many sparrows and several blackbirds. The most common sparrow by name is the ubiquitous house sparrow, a bird introduced from Europe and originally called English sparrow. But it’s a sparrow only in name. It belongs to a different family. A few of the many species of true sparrow, which are all American, not found in Europe or Asia, are song, chipping, field, vesper, white-throated and white-crowned.

Blackbird is another name for a group of birds. There is, of course, the red-winged blackbird. There is also a yellow-headed blackbird and a rusty blackbird. Further, grackles, starling and cowbirds are often called blackbirds.

I once had a birder tell me her favorite bird was the yellow rail. That’s a little yellowish-brown bird of marshes, of dense stands of cattails. It’s approximately an inch shorter than

a robinandhas long legs. It’s active at night, a phantom of the marshes in Minnesota and Michigan and farther north in spring and summer and of marshes along the Gulf Coast in winter. I’ve looked for it in Minnesota and in Louisiana, even went out with a guide in Minnesota one night. We heard two that night, but though we waded into the marsh in the direction of their calls, we didn’t see one.

Another favorite of a birder and another bird I’ve never seen is elf owl. This is a bird of southwest Texas

and New Mexico, of southern Arizona and Mexico. It’s the size of a sparrow, the smallest owl in the world. It nests in holes woodpeckers have made in trees and in saguaro cactus. It’s nocturnal, as most owls are, and it preys on insects.

And my favorite bird?

It changes, as I believe it does for most bird watchers.

If I saw a yellow rail or an elf owl, that would be my favorite at the time I saw it. But I’d soon decide on another bird I’ve never seen, California condor, perhaps.

Village offers free rent to ‘right chef’ CATSKILL, N.Y. (AP) — Locals looking to land a buzz-worthy, foodie-friendly restaurant in this Hudson River village are offering the right chef a novel deal: Come to Catskill with a killer concept — maybe farm-totable, gastro-pub or vegetarian — and get space on Main Street rent free for a year.

The hope is the right restaurant will give the growing number of downriver arrivals from New York City an attractive place to eat. And maybe it will accelerate the kind of gentrification that has revived other river towns.

“I don’t know what the actual spark will be, but I certainly think this will help ignite whatever’s going to happen,” said Nina Sklansky, who belongs to a local group promoting Catskill as a funky, affordable place. “If people are going to linger, they’re going to want to eat.”

Catskill, on the west

bank of the Hudson about 100 miles north of New York City, has a movie house with a marquee on Main Street along with a columned courthouse and places to window shop. With an average family income of $55,000, the village has kept its humble roots. But like a lot of corners of the valley, the village of 4,000 is changing as city people migrate north or buy second homes.

DDT still threatens condors SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In the coastal redwood forests of central California, scientists trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the reproductive problems of dozens of endangered condors think they have uncovered the culprit: the long-banned pesticide DDT. The soaring scavengers with wingspans wider than NBA players are tall were reintroduced to the rugged coast of Big Sur in 1997 after a century-long absence.

Upon arrival, the birds found plenty to eat, with dead California sea lions and other marine mammals littering the craggy shoreline.

While a good food source, sea lion blubber often has high levels of DDT, a pesticide banned in 1972 that has proven to be a persistent pollutant because it accumulates in bodies of creatures throughout the food chain when animals eat one another.

Once used widely in agriculture, DDT was banned because it is a human toxin considered a possible carcinogen by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kelly Sorenson, executive director of Ventana Wildlife Society and a co-author of a new study on condors, said researchers who spent six years studying their reproductive problems have “established a strong link” to DDT in the birds’ food source.

The peer-reviewed paper written by 10 condor experts, including biologists from the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara zoos and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is being published this month in the University of California journal “The

“In science, rarely is anything definitive but we’ve established a strong link between … DDT and eggshell thinning in California condors,” Sorenson told the Associated Press.

The eggshell mystery began in 2006, when a biologist inspecting a condor nest in the cavity of a redwood tree on the central California coast found the first thin shell.

Over the next six years, the scientists observed condors feeding on dozens of sea lions, and found that the Big Sur condor population had a low hatching success — just 20-40 percent — for 16 nesting pairs. In contrast, 70-80 percent of southern California condors in the Tejon area had hatched

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — Gunmen shot the top female police officer in a troubled southern Afghan province Sunday, leaving her facing possible paralysis just months after her predecessor was killed, government and hospital authorities said. It was the latest in a series of attacks on prominent women in Afghanistan, where just 1 percent of the police force is female.

The officer, identified only as Negar, was buying grass for her lambs outside her home when two gunmen drove up on a motorbike and fired at her, said Omar Zawak, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand province.

The 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck, and the medical team treating her is trying to keep

her from being paralyzed as a result of the injury, said one of the doctors who operated on her. He gave him name only as Shahwali for security reasons.

Negar’s bodyguards fired back at the gunmen, but the attackers escaped.

Negar serves as a sub-inspector in the police criminal investigation department in Helmand province. She had taken over the duties of Islam Bibi, a well-known police officer who was shot dead in July by unknown gunmen as she headed to work. Bibi had told reporters she had even been threatened by male members of her own family for her job.

Zawak said Negar had given recent interviews to media outlets saying that Afghan policewomen would not quit in the face of the

of endangered condors are having problems reproducing think they have uncovered the culprit: the banned pesticide DDT.

successfully over the same time. The southern California condors are inland, and sea lions are not a food source.

Biologists familiar with the ravages of DDT in bird populations immediately suspected the widely used pesticide as a factor.

Tests since the 1970s have found high levels of DDT in sea lions; and studies have linked DDT’s metabolized version, DDE, to egg shell thinning in birds, including brown pelicans and bald eagles.

The condor study attributed at least eight of 16 egg failures to thinning from DDT. One shell found crushed in a nest was 54-percent thinner than normal. Thinning can also allow bacteria to more easily enter the eggs.

But why did the sea lions

have such high DDT levels in the first place?

The scientists theorize that the sea mammals were exposed when they migrated to the central coast from southern California, where the Montrose Chemical Corp. dumped DDT with impunity for decades until the 1970s. The Montrose plant and the ocean off Palos Verdes where it dumped DDT are now listed as Environmental Protection Agency “Superfund” sites.

“A vast majority of California sea lions have spent at least a portion of their lives in the waters of southern California, which is the most DDT-contaminated coastal environment in the world,” Sorenson said.

“Northward movements of sea lions provide a pathway of DDT to condors in central California.”

dangers they faced.

Several prominent Afghan women have been attacked or kidnapped in recent months.

Earlier this month, a female parliamentarian held captive for about four weeks was freed by the Taliban in exchange for several detained militants, a provincial lawmaker told The Associated Press.

The Taliban said the freed prisoners were “four innocent women and two children.”

In August, insurgents ambushed the convoy of a female Afghan senator, seriously wounding her in the attack and killing her 8-year-old daughter and a bodyguard.

Female police officers seem to be a favorite target of insurgents, and several have been threatened or

killed in the past few years.

Lt. Col. Malalai Kakar, who worked in southern Kandahar province and was perhaps the best-known female police officer in the country, was shot dead by the Taliban in 2008.

According to a report released earlier this month by the international aid agency Oxfam, efforts to recruit more women into Afghanistan’s police force have been met with limited success. In 2005, the national police force employed just 180 women out of 53,400 personnel, the report said. By July 2013, that had risen to 1,551 policewomen out of 157,000.

The female officers, especially in the deeply conservative southern provinces, face numerous challenges.

Briefs • Extremely high radiation levels found in bunker EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A military report says a contaminated bunker discovered at a West Texas military post had nearly seven times more than the level of accepted radiation.

The El Paso Times obtained a July 3 report on the bunker at the Biggs Army Airfield at Fort Bliss in El Paso.

The newspaper reported military inspectors found high levels of uranium in one specific location.

University of Texas at El Paso expert John Walton says the amount of contamination was “not huge.�

Walton says workers in the bunker may have inhaled or swallowed contaminated paint chips, which would have led to a “very small and limited exposure of soldiers� over a half-century.

Ohio fire claims five children TIFFIN, Ohio (AP) — A fast-moving fire claimed the lives of a man and five children under the age of 7 on Sunday morning when it swept through a mobile home in northwest Ohio.

The fire was reported shortly before 8 a.m.

Sunday in a mobile home park in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo.

Firefighters got all six people out in about 12 minutes, but all were pronounced dead at a hospital, Tiffin Fire Chief William said.

Owanna Ortiz said her first cousin, Anna Angel, was the children’s mother and lived in the home with them and the man who died. Ortiz said the family didn’t have a car and had to get around on bicycles. “If she had to get somewhere, they had two strollers they had to take, but they made it work,� Ortiz said.

A stroller, a little pink bicycle and an adult bicycle with a bike trailer attached to the back could be seen outside the home with its charred and broken windows. “She had a whole family and now she has nothing,�

Ortiz said of her cousin.

The two oldest children were in kindergarten and first grade, Ortiz said.

“They were always happy and full of sunshine,� she said. “The older ones looked out for the younger ones.�

Her cousin was working at a fast-food restaurant at the time of the fire, Ortiz said.

Authorities would not confirm the identities or relationships of those killed or comment on a possible cause. A state fire marshal’s investigator said there were no indications of anything suspicious and it could take up to two days before authorities know how the six died.

and five children in Tiffin, Ohio, Sunday, according to police.

“We won’t release any more information until we know the cause of death,� state investigator Tim Spradlin said.

Nancy Williams, who manages the Highland Park Estates mobile home park and lives there, said she yelled to her son to call 911 and ran to the home when a neighbor alerted her to the blaze. “I knew there were babies in there,� she said. “But once we got there, there was nothing we could do. It was fully engulfed in flames and

Firm forced to return health-care grant FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A company that has for decades helped people enroll in Medicaid says it won’t be able to sign up people for insurance under the new Affordable Care Act because there is too much scrutiny over a so-called navigator program.

According to an email obtained by The Associated Press, Cardon Outreach’s chief legal officer Charles Kable told the federal government it was returning more than $800,000 in federal grant money. The funds were supposed to be used to hire people in four states help explain the intricacies of health insurance to millions of people who aren’t covered.

While the email didn’t go into specifics, some have said those opposed to the health care law, mostly Republicans, are making it difficult for some of the navigator programs to get off the ground. “The emerging state and federal regulatory scrutiny surrounding the Navigator program requires us to allocate resources which we cannot spare and will distract us from fulfilling our obligations to our clients,� the email said.

Texas-based Cardon Outreach was one of more than 100 nonprofits and related organizations recruited by the federal government to sign up navigators to help the 30 million uninsured people who can now gain coverage.

The federal government gave the groups more than $67 million grants.

Cardon Outreach was supposed to help people in Florida, Oklahoma, Utah and Pennsylvania. The company, which has done similar outreach for 20 years for Medicaid recipients, did not return emails and phone calls.

Navigators are getting caught in the political crosshairs of the new health care law as the Oct. 1 launch date for the online state exchanges, a key component of the law, draws closer.

Cardon’s decision comes days after Florida health officials, which fall under Republican Gov. Rick Scott’s administration, ordered county health departments across the state to ban navigators from their property.

Democrats lambasted the move, saying it put politics ahead of people.

Scott’s office has said only that he was aware of the decision.

Cruise ship to be uprighted GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy (AP) — Authorities have given the final go-ahead for a daring attempt Monday to pull upright the crippled Costa Concordia cruise liner from its side in the waters off Tuscany, a make-or-break engineering feat that has never before been tried in such conditions.

The ship capsized there 20 months ago, and Italy’s national Civil Protection agency waited until sea and weather conditions were forecast for dawn Monday before giving the OK to try to right it. In a statement Sunday, the Civil Protection agency said the sea and wind conditions “fall within the range of operating feasibility.�

The Concordia struck a reef near Giglio Island the night of Jan. 13, 2012, took on water through a 70-meter (230-foot) gash in its hull and capsized just outside the harbor. Thirty-two of the 4,200 passengers and crew members died. The bodies of two of the dead have never been recovered.

“Where Learning is for Life�

we couldn’t get in.�

Ennis said there was heavy fire in the center of the mobile home and heavy smoke throughout the structure when firefighters arrived.

Witnesses said the fire burned quickly, breaking out windows and peeling some of the trailer’s aluminum siding.

Williams’ voice broke as she described seeing rescuers bringing the children from the home. “It’s so heartbreaking,� she said.

Summers withdraws name from Fed job WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate to succeed Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman, has withdrawn from consideration, the White House said Sunday.

Summers’ withdrawal follows growing resistance from critics, including some members of the Senate committee that would need to approve his nomination.

His exit could open the door for his leading rival for the post, Janet Yellen, the Fed’s vice chair. If chosen

by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed. In a statement, Obama said he had accepted Summers’ decision. “Larry was a critical member of my team as we faced down the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and it was in no small part because of his expertise, wisdom and leadership,� the President said.

‘Dying for Fashion’ is tribute to author ROME CITY — The Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site, in honor of its namesake’s 150th birthday, will showcase popular hat styles and fashions from the late 1800s into the early 1900s in ‘‘Dying for Fashion: Gene’s Concern for Our Feathered Friends.’’ The exhibition will be on view from Aug. 17 through Dec. 7 in the Carriage House Visitor’s Center.

“Gene Stratton-Porter had a disdain for the feather trade as one can imagine. In the late 1800s it was all the rage to wear a hat with at least one feather on it, if not more,” said site manager Dave W. Fox. “Eventually the style got so out of hand that entire birds were being placed onto women’s hats. The story of Gene’s visit to a milliner’s shop inspired this exhibit.

Guests may learn more about Gene’s experience, what her reaction was, and even see an 1886 survey conducted in New

SYRIA: U.S. pledges to maintain increased presence FROM PAGE A1

against the Assad regime, although the Obama administration has warned that the military option remains on the table if Damascus does not comply.

President Barack Obama said last week the U.S. Navy will maintain its increased presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea

to keep pressure on Syria and to be in position to respond if diplomacy fails. “The threat of force is real, and the Assad regime and all those taking part need to understand that President Obama and the United States are committed to achieve this goal,�

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday

in Jerusalem, where he briefed Israeli leaders on the agreement.

He also said the agreement, if successful, “will have set a marker for the standard of behavior with respect to Iran and with respect North Korea and any rogue state, (or) group that tries to reach for these kind of weapons.�

shoulder-high. This year’s yield is more than 10 feet tall.

To cut the maze, Smith works with a company in Utah that designs corn mazes for nearly 350 farms in the United States.

The first maze was in the shape of a Duesenberg, a nod to DeKalb County’s automotive heritage.

Smith and a crew of four from the company completed this year’s maze in July, when the corn was 6 inches tall. To make the cuts, the crew measured out the design in a grid. “We didn’t use a GPS,�

Smith said. It took them a full day from sunrise to sunset to finish.

Running the corn maze is “two months of a lot of busyness� Smith said. “It gets pretty crazy around here, � he said, adding, “It’s a family venture — everyone helps.�

Smith knew an acquaintance in Colorado who did a Peyton Manning corn maze after the quarterback was traded to the Denver Broncos. “He told me, ‘Thanks for sending him our way,’ �

Smith said, giving him the idea to do a Luck version. “If he can do a maze with Peyton Manning,� Smith said. “We can do one with Luck.�

He made sure to get permission from the Colts and wanted to make sure it was OK with Luck. Smith has even invited Luck to come out and see the maze.

No word yet if the quarterback will visit the farm.

Students from Waterloo Elementary School play in the corn box at Amazing Fall Fun Friday in Waterloo.

Smith does get the occasional grief from Bears and Steelers fans. “They say, ‘Hey! What’s with the Colts?’ � Smith said.

While many in his family pitch in to help, Smith also hires additional help. “We have corn cops,�

Smith said. “They make sure everything is OK.�

Once the season ends at Amazing Fall Fun, Smith harvests the corn in late October. The rest of the year, Smith grows corn and beans, and raises grass-fed beef.

He cross plants the corn, to make a denser maze. The field is not his top yield, but he said it “creates a better maze.�

Estes Park town administrator Frank Lancaster said visitors who would normally flock there during the golden September days should stay away for at least a month, but it could take a year or longer for many of the mountain roadways to be repaired.

a new round of flooding, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all crossing our fingers and prayingâ&#x20AC;? he said.

The residents who remained or began trickling back â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if they were allowed to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were left to watch out for one another.

Restaurateurs and grocers in Lyons were distributing food to their neighbors as others arrived in groups carrying supplies.

Scott Martin, 25, drove the half-hour from Boulder Saturday to deliver drinking water and gasoline to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents. He fled Lyons amid a torrential downpour on Wednesday night after the mountain

stream that cuts through town gushed into his basement.

Martin grew up tubing down the river and hiking the mountains, and like many residents, he still jumps in the water after work. Looking into the cottonwood and aspen trees at the outskirts of town, he wondered when he would be able to do those things again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just mud everywhere; in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard and all the streets,â&#x20AC;? he said.

From the mountain communities east to the plains city of Fort Morgan, numerous pockets of individuals remained cut off by the flooding.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck stewed over the mistakes he made Sunday.

There was the forced pass into the end zone that was picked off, the failure to take the potential short gains on the final series and the inability to get away from pressure on Indy’s final offensive play.

It was, simply, too much for the Colts to overcome on a day Ryan Tannehill threw for 319 yards and one touchdown, and the Miami defense held Indy to 133 yards in the second half to preserve a 24-20 victory.

“You start thinking about the plays afterward. I think some of those, instead of throwing the ball up for grabs, take the underneath guy, get 5 yards and get in second-and-5 instead of ending up in second-and-10, third-and-10, fourth-and-10,” Luck said.

“I don’t think I managed that particularly well. They did a good job of pressure on that last play.

You never want to get sacked on fourth down. That’s almost one of those cardinal sins.”

Luck and the Colts (1-1) seemed to have everything working in the first half when they piled up 315 total yards and climbed out of a 14-3 deficit to take a 17-14 lead.

But in the second half, they

SOUTH BEND (AP) — The Notre Dame defense is looking nothing like the dominant squad that led the Fighting Irish into the national championship game a season ago.

A quarter of the way into the season, the 22nd-ranked Fighting Irish (2-1) are giving up 23.5 points a game, nearly double last year’s average of 12.8, and are surrendering 411 yards a game after holding opponents to 306 AP yards a game a year ago.

Another comeback for Cutler

Pirates shut down Cubs PITTSBURGH (AP) — Three batters into the game, it appeared Chicago Cubs starter Travis Wood might not make it out of the first inning.

Jose Tabata led with a triple off the center-field fence and scored on a wild pitch to put the Pittsburgh Pirates ahead 1-0. Jordy Mercer followed with a double that bounced into the left-field bleachers, and Andrew McCutchen singled to put runners at the corners.

“They came out hacking, they had a game plan right there, and fortunately enough I was able to get out of there with just one run,” Wood said.

Wood settled down to pitch six innings. But the Cubs lost 3-2 as Francisco Liriano took a no-hit

bid into the seventh inning and pinch-hitter Justin Morneau singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth.

Pittsburgh, which began the day tied with St. Louis for the NL Central lead, took three of four from the last-place Cubs and won for the sixth time in seven games.

“You knew runs were going to be tough to go by on both ends,” Cubs manage Dale Sveum said. “Woody got out of a big jam in the first inning, settled down, and pitched very well.

Obviously Liriano’s very good so they matched each other evenly, pitch-for-pitch, a couple bloopers there in the last inning cost us the win there.”

Morneau, acquired from Minnesota on Aug. 31, drove in his first run for the Pirates.

Mayweather dominates for easy win in ring LAS VEGAS (AP) — Canelo Alvarez proved nothing more than easy money for Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather turned one of the richest fights ever into just another $41.5 million payday Saturday night, dominating Alvarez from the opening bell and winning a majority decision in a masterful performance that left no doubt who the best fighter of his era is.

Fighting off his shortest layoff in years, Mayweather was sharp, efficient and sometimes brutal in dismantling an unbeaten fighter who was bigger and was supposed to punch harder. He frustrated Alvarez early, pounded him with big right hands in the middle rounds, and made him look just like he said he would — like any other opponent.

Mayweather was favored 117-111 and 116-112 on two ringside scorecards while a third inexplicably had the fight 114-114.

The Associated Press scored it 119-109 for Mayweather.

“I just listened to my corner, listened to my dad,” Mayweather said. “My dad had a brilliant game plan, and I went out there and got the job done.”

Mayweather remained unbeaten in 45 fights and added another piece of the junior middleweight title to his collection in a fight that was fought at a 152-pound limit.

Alvarez weighed in at that weight, but was an unofficial 165 pounds when he got into the ring while Mayweather, who weighed in at 150 1/2 pounds, was an even 150.

The extra weight did Alvarez no good and the punching power that brought him 30 knockouts in 43 fights wasn’t a help either.

The Mexican star was seldom able to land a solid punch, with most of his punches either missing or glancing off of Mayweather.

AP

Floyd Mayweather Jr. throws a jab against Canelo Alvarez against the ropes in the eighth round during a

152-pound title fight Saturday in Las Vegas.

“No doubt he’s a great fighter, a very intelligent fighter,” Alvarez said. “There was no solution for him.”

Mayweather said he actually had to put on weight during the day to even get close to what he weighed the day before.

“When I woke up this morning, I was 146 pounds, so I had to call my chef and get something in my system,” he said.

Mayweather’s speed was the difference all night as he was able to land straight

rights and left jabs, then get out of the way before Alvarez was able to respond. But while Mayweather used great defense, he wasn’t afraid to attack often and at different angles, finding Alvarez with punches he couldn’t anticipate.

“He’s very talented, very elusive,” Alvarez said.

When it was over, Mayweather didn’t even celebrate, walking over to a corner to look at the crowd. Just another payday,

just another win for Money May. The only surprise came when it was announced the decision wasn’t unanimous, with judge C.J. Ross scoring it even.

“I can’t control what the judges do,” Mayweather said.

Alvarez was supposed to be Mayweather’s greatest challenge and he did his best to force the action. Like others, though, he couldn’t solve the puzzle that is Mayweather and spent much of his night punching at an opponent who had already moved away from him.

“I didn’t know how to get him, it’s extremely simple,” Alvarez said. “He’s a great fighter, very intelligent. The frustration was getting in there, but he’s a great fighter. We tried to catch him.”

Alvarez said before the fight that he had the game plan to solve Mayweather’s tricky defense and fast hands. If it failed, he said, he had other game plans he would implement to win the fight.

But he had no plan that worked once he got into the ring and found out just how difficult Mayweather can be.

“At the same time, he also missed me a lot,” Alvarez said. “His punches landed on my gloves.”

Ringside punch stats showed Mayweather dominance, crediting him with landing 232 of 505 punches to 117 of 526 for Alvarez.

The sellout crowd of 16,746 at the MGM Grand on Mexican Independence weekend tried its best to urge Alvarez (42-1-1) on, but the cheers of “Canelo!

Canelo!” were faint and wistful by the late rounds. Mayweather was so much in charge that the only question was whether the ringside judges would allow him to pitch a shutout.

IRISH: Purdue coach pleased with team’s progress FROM PAGE B1

to find ourselves at,” Kelly said.

The Irish figured to miss linebacker Manti Te’o, the Heisman Trophy runnerup, but the eight returning starters from last season were expected to make up for much of that. So far, though, they haven’t. Kelly placed part of the problem on communications, saying Te’o and departed safety Zeke Motta played key roles in that area last season.

“The two big leaders on our defense in terms of communication are the safety and the mike linebacker. They’re no longer here. Those are new communication positions.

That’s evolving,” he said.

He said the Irish had great communication against Purdue. Still, the Irish, who finished seventh in the nation last season in total defense, sit at No. 56 heading into Saturday’s game against Michigan State (3-0), which sits 84th in total offense. Kelly, though, says he is seeing signs of improvement, saying the

Irish had held the Boilermakers to 38 yards on 21 carries.

“This offense is built to run the football. That’s what they wanted to do. They weren’t able to do that,” he said.

He said some of “the basic tenets” coaches are looking for are coming together on defense. Kelly said he wasn’t concerned defensive end Stephon Tuitt, projected by some as a potential first-round draft pick, has only one tackle the past two games.

“I really liked his play up front,” Kelly said.

Kelly said the Irish were still trying to figure out their pieces and where they go.

“We know there’s going to be an evolution of getting those players in the right position, developing them.

That’s going to take a little time,” he said.

The Irish defense had better get it together soon.

After facing the Spartans on Saturday, the Irish play Oklahoma, which ranks 32nd in total offense, and Arizona State, which ranks

29th. Kelly, though, sounds confident.

“We’re still evolving. It takes time. Even if you’ve got guys that are veterans, we have some key positions that have some new players in it. They’re coming together,” he said.

Kelly confirmed a Tweet by third-string quarterback Malik Zaire that he has been cleared to play after missing the first three games with mononucleosis, but indicated he still might not suit up against Michigan State on Saturday.

“He might be suspended for violating the rules relative to information.

We’ll have to get back to you on that,” Kelly said.

Purdue, meanwhile, took solace in their effort.

“That is a huge step for this program,” coach Darrell Hazell said. “We talked all week about being level and not being too high or too low throughout the course of the game because it was going to be a battle from start to finish. I thought our guys did a great job of handling the situation.”

Prep Sports Roundup • Middle School Cross Country Patriots 8th in 26-team field Tyler Schwartz finished 13th overall in 11:57 to lead DeKalb Middle School’s girls cross country team to an eighth-place finish in the 26-team Indian Springs Invitational Saturday. Maydysen Snyder was 51st for the Patriots in 13:01. Other DeKalb finishers were Alyssa Wells (59th, 13:10), Bethany Kelley (67th, 13:21) and Sarah Fetter (72nd, 13:26).

DeKalb finished 14th in the 26-team boys race. Marshall Beard led the way for the Patriots, finishing 65th in 12:04.

Other finishers for DeKalb were Carlos Vazquez (77th, 12:15), Kaleb Garcia (81st, 12:18), Kobe Hopkins (90th,

12:23) and Jack Norton (104th, 12:32).

Freshman Volleyball DeKalb wins tourney BRUSHY PRAIRIE — The DeKalb freshman volleyball team won the Prairie Heights Invitational Saturday.

The Barons defeated Fremont in its first match 25-12, 24-25 and 15-12. DeKalb then swept Lakeland 25-12, 25-10. In the championship game, DeKalb rebounded from a first-game loss to defeat East Noble 19-25, 25-17, 15-12.

Carolyn Vadney led the Patriots with seven kills in the finale. Amanda Shonka recorded 18 assists. Amanda Shonka had four aces.

Peyton Manning again beat younger brother Eli, throwing two touchdown passes in leading the Denver Broncos past the New York Giants 41-23 on Sunday.

The older Manning is 3-0 in the NFL against his sibling, with the other two victories coming when Peyton was with the Colts. He got this win with a huge boost from Knowshon Moreno, who rushed for two touchdowns and 93 yards.

Denver (2-0), which has won 13 straight regular-season games, rushed for 109 yards altogether.

Peyton Manning didn’t need to match his record-tying seven touchdown passes from the Broncos’ season-opening victory. Not with the Giants (0-2) being charitable again with three more turnovers after they had six in last’s week loss. They also allowed Trindon Holliday’s spectacular 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, the first such score in the league this season.

PACKERS 38, REDSKINS 20 Aaron Rodgers threw for a career-high 480 yards and four touchdowns and Green Bay used a big first half to win its home opener.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III threw for 320 yards and three second-half touchdowns.

Pierre Garcon had 143 yards receiving and a touchdown.

But it was too little, too late after Washington (0-2) fell short again after being outplayed early for a second straight week.

James Jones had a career-

high 11 catches for 178 yards.

James Starks ran for 132 yards and a touchdown.

Green Bay (1-1) built a 24-0 lead by halftime and never looked back.

CHARGERS 33, EAGLES 30 Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes to Eddie Royal, and Nick Novak kicked a 46-yard field goal with 7 seconds left, spoiling Chip Kelly’s home debut.

Michael Vick threw for a career-best 428 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score. But a porous Eagles defense couldn’t stop Rivers all day.

He finished 36 of 47 for 419 yards, and the Chargers punted only once. They fumbled twice inside Philadelphia’s 10 in the first half.

The teams combined for 1,150 total yards, including 539 for San Diego.

CHIEFS 17, COWBOYS 16 Alex Smith threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns, and the Kansas City defense held when it needed to in the fourth quarter.

Jamaal Charles ran for 55 yards and caught a touchdown pass for the Chiefs, who made new coach Andy Reid a winner in his home debut.

The Chiefs also matched their victory total from all of last season by starting 2-0 for just the second time since 2005.

Dwayne Bowe’s touchdown catch in the third quarter and Ryan Succop’s 40-yard field goal early in the fourth gave the Chiefs a 17-13 lead. The Cowboys (1-1) answered with a deep

march into Kansas City territory but had to settle for Dan Bailey’s 53-yard field goal with 3:55 left.

The Chiefs offense never gave the Cowboys a chance to mount a winning drive.

TEXANS 30, TITANS 24, OT Rookie DeAndre Hopkins caught a 3-yard touchdown pass in overtime to cap Houston’s comeback win.

With Andre Johnson out after being shaken up in the fourth quarter, Hopkins reached above Jason McCourty and pulled in the pass from Matt Schaub to give Houston the victory.

The Texans (2-0) needed a franchise-record 21-point comeback to win their opener at San Diego 31-28.

On Sunday, they charged back from an eight-point, fourth-quarter deficit against the Titans (1-1).

BILLS 24, PANTHERS 23 Rookie EJ Manuel hit Stevie Johnson for a 2-yard touchdown pass with 2 seconds left.

The touchdown capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive in which the first-round draft pick completed 6 of 8 attempts for 51 yards. Manuel also got help on third-and-6 from Carolina’s 29, when Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly was penalized for pass interference with 14 seconds left.

Two plays later, Manuel found Johnson alone in the left corner as Buffalo (1-1) bounced back from a 23-21 season-opening loss to New England.

COLTS: Dolphins’ defense comes up big in clutch FROM PAGEB1

came down to managing mistakes.

“We just didn’t make enough plays,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “They made just enough to get out of here with a win.”

Tannehill is one of the big reasons Miami is 2-0 for only the second time since 2004.

He was 23 of 34 for 319 yards with one touchdown and did a better job managing his offense in the second half. Miami played this one almost perfectly.

They started fast, jumped to a 14-3 lead after two possessions, rallied twice and shut down the Colts when they needed, too.

High-priced free-agent Mike Wallace was a little happier with his performance Sunday, finishing with nine

receptions for 115 yards and one touchdown a week after making only one catch in his Miami debut.

Lamar Miller averaged nearly 5 yards per carry, running 14 times for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Charles Clay had five catches for 109 yards and only one carry — a 1-yard TD run with 4:40 left in the third quarter, which turned out to be the game’s decisive score and stood up to a replay review.

That, and a staunch defense late was enough for the Dolphins to hold on.

“You have to be balanced to win football games. You can’t really win a football game by just throwing the whole game,” Wallace said.

“You have to mix it up.”

The Dolphins didn’t shy away from trading jabs,

especially after Indy piled up 315 yards of offense in the first half, their highest first-half total in seven years.

The Colts finished with 438 yards, but couldn’t put Miami away after taking a 17-14 lead in the first half and a 20-17 lead early in the third quarter after Tannehill’s fumble.

But Miami made all the big plays after that — the 34-yard completion from Tannehill to Wallace that set up Clay’s rushing score, the third down conversions to keep Luck & Co. off the field and the two big fourthquarter stops.

“Our guys wanted to play them, we wanted to compete,” Miami coach Joe Philbin said. “They were ready for a 60-minute game and we knew we would have to make some plays to win.”

Joost Luiten of The Netherlands celebrates winning the KLM Open men’s golf tournament in the beach resort of Zandvoort, western Netherlands Sunday.

Luiten wins KLM Open ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) — Joost Luiten beat Miguel Angel Jimenez on the first playoff hole Sunday to win the KLM Open for his second European Tour title of the year.

Luiten became the first Dutch winner of his country’s national open since Maarten Lafeber in 2003 and the first Dutchman to win twice in a season on the European Tour. He also won the Lyoness Open in Austria in June.

Jimenez made four early birdies to take the lead but Luiten rallied on the back nine at the Kennemer Golf & Country Club, with both making par on the 18th to force the playoff. Jiminez shot a 3-under 67 while Luiten had a 68. Both finished with 12-under totals of 268.

“It was tough. He was playing really, really good, especially on the front nine,” Luiten said of the far more experienced Jimenez. “I thought ‘I just have to hang in there until the back nine and hopefully I can make a move there,’ and luckily it happened.”

The players returned to the 18th tee and Luiten made par, while Jimenez hit his drive into the rough right of the fairway, left his second on the fringe and could not hole out in two.

Ukraine moves into basketball quarterfinals in Europe LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — Sacha Massot had a key block and a dunk late in the game to help give Belgium a 60-56 victory over Latvia on Sunday that sent Ukraine into the quarterfinals of the European basketball championship.

Latvia needed to win and have Lithuania beat Ukraine in the late game to advance.

Ukraine joins France, Serbia and Lithuania in advancing from Group E. Croatia, Slovenia and Italy have already advanced from Group F, which ends play Monday.

Massot led Belgium with 14 points, four rebounds and three blocks. He blocked a Janis Blums layup and then dunked for a 59-56 lead that completed a 9-0 Belgium run. Dairis Bertans missed a 3-point attempt and Wen Mukubu made one of two free throws to complete the scoring.

Latvia, which shot 29 percent from the field, had a chance to win late despite trailing most of the game. But Rolands Freimanis, who finished with 10 points, botched an alley-oop attempt. Latvia got the ball back with Axel Hervelle’s turnover but Massot blocked a drive by Blums.

Latvia made only 5 of 29 3-point attempts despite relying on long-range shooting as its biggest weapon. Mukubu had 13 points and Hervelle added 10 and seven rebounds in Belgium’s only secondround win.

Helton to retire PHOENIX (AP) — Todd Helton will retire at the end of the season after spending 17 years with the Colorado Rockies and setting franchise records in nearly every offensive category.

The 40-year-old first baseman’s decision was announced after a 9-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday night. Almost fittingly, he had a double in his only hit of the night, the 586th of his career.

His final game at Coors Field will be Sept. 25 against the Boston Red Sox, the team that swept the Rockies during the 2007 World Series. The final game of his career will be on Sept. 29 in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

“For 17 years number ‘17’ has been the icon of Colorado Rockies baseball,” Rockies owner Dick Monfort said in a statement. “Todd will be missed and our hope is he will be a part of our Colorado baseball family for many more years to come.”

The Denver Post first reported the story.

Helton is a career .317 hitter and has 367 home runs, 1,397 RBIs, 1,394 runs, a .415 on-base percentage and a .539 slugging percentage in 2,235 career games.

He was an All-Star from 2000 to 2004 and will end his career as the Rockies’ leader in games, hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs, runs and walks.

Earlier this month, Helton became the 96th player in major league history to reach the 2,500-hit milestone.

Move from a military strike to negotiation LOS ANGELES — You have to admit that the timing of the Russian ploy to trip up (or at least drag President Obama’s feet on) any U.S. bombing of Moscow ally Syria was exquisite. I would now not only want to avoid playing Russian roulette with Vladimir Putin but also would stay out of a high-stakes all-night poker game with him.

The proposal pushed into prominence is that Damascus consign its chemical stocks to international authority.

TOM This came on the eve of expected U.S CongresPLATE sional votes on Obama’s proposed punishment of the Assad government’s evident use of chemical weapons inside Syria. The result is to delay that vote pending clarification of the Russian position, and move the world spotlight to the negotiating battlefields of Geneva — and the United Nations in New York.

Count me as among For my money the one of the coolest head in today’s gazillions of Americans hot world kitchen has with general been that of United growing doubts Nations Secretary about the efficacy of General Ban Ki-moon.

U.S. military power to deal with issues that are either primarily political or do not directly threaten U.S. national security. There is no question that we could get away with a bombing run or missile shower into Syria.

But the main achievement might be only to show further disrespect for the role of the U.N. Security Council as the primary legitimate international sanctioneer of the use of force against any given sovereign state. How sad and pathetic would it have been for Obama over Syria to go down the same tawdry path as George W. Bush over Iraq? Does might always make right?

For my money the coolest head in today’s hot world kitchen has been that of United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Though little commented upon in the news media, it was Ban who had denied the breathless and brainless U.S. request to put off the organization’s scheduled official on-site UN inspection of the chemical-usage in Syria. This under-rated secretary general wisely, quietly and rather cleverly managed to slow down the process of war escalation while not letting Assad off the moral hook by pushing forward with the inspection (now in the final process of evaluation and report, due soon).

In this, the former South Korean foreign minister is indeed very much in tune, consciously or not, with the anti-war mood of the American people. Too often the military option is offered as the best (or even only) solution to a very thorny world problem. Ban’s view is that only in exceptional cases will the military option conceivably prove effective or even make sense, especially when there are diplomatic or negotiating options still untapped, unexhausted or even underϖutilized.

No one can predict how the Syrian psychodrama will play out. But for those who feel the U.N. has little or no role to play on major international issues should examine the wise and measured role of its secretary general, who of course for years has been under no illusions about the moral fiber of Assad and his government. He has had a number of tense conversations with the hard-hearted Syrian president, working behind the scenes tirelessly (and, characteristically, quietly).

It is now time to give the U.N. leader and the Security Council an opportunity to come up with something better than the mere use of military force, which inevitably causes mortal collateral damage to civilians no matter how carefully calibrated or purportedly confined to a putative “pinprick” operation.

Americans should not be too concerned about the clever Russian president. Let him have his moment in the sun. Every dog needs to have his day. And sometimes evil can produce good (as the great sociologist Max Weber used to remind us). This may be such a time. Who knows? It might also prove a winning moment for the U.N., the Security Council and its principled and relentless secretary general. Why not give them a chance?

Letters to The Editor • Rep. Stutzman should support currency bill to help save U.S. jobs To the editor: We need to defend our manufacturing base. I hear elected officials talk all the time about how much they love “Made in America.” So I’m shocked that Congress hasn’t done anything to promote it, like approving the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act. America should be responding when countries cheat at trade by manipulating their currencies. It creates a hidden tax on American manufacturers trying to export, and an uneven playing field for

those who compete with imports. The results are layoffs, a rising trade deficit and closed factories. The manufacturing recovery has completely sputtered out!

We make a lot of things in Indiana, and our congressional delegation should step up for our manufacturers and workers.

I hope Representative Stutzman does so by cosponsoring this currency bill.

We need to defend our jobs and stop other countries from cheating at trade. Representative Stutzman, show us you love “Made in America!”

Putin tries to take the ‘high road’ in Syria WASHINGTON — As I read Vlad’s op-ed in The New York Times, a Judy Collins tune kept replaying in my head: “Isn’t it rich? Isn’t it queer?”

The song, actually written by Stephen Sondheim, although it is Collins’ signature hit, is “Send in the Clowns” and seems an apt soundtrack for current events. As we’ve stalled in making a decision about how to handle Syria (two years and counting), Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have been allowed to emerge as reasonable heads of state, talking down to the U.S., lecturing us about our misplaced belief in exceptionalism, and making demands that mock our president.

Nice work.

Putin hasn’t had this much fun since he rode shotgun in George W. Bush’s truck.

Thanks to President Obama, the good times keep on rolling. We now have a catalog of blunders we can attach to Putin-related (Putinesca?) “diplomacy,” a term that becomes more farcical by the day.

Recall that Bush, whose international outreach often included a ride around his Crawford, Texas, ranch, once said he looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul.

I have a photograph from the day in Texas that captures the two men grinning. Putin, it must be said, looks like he’s having the time of his life and Bush looks, as he always did, confident and oblivious to the menace seated beside him.

Next we have Obama, who, in an intimate moment with then-outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, conveyed a message to incoming President Putin. Thinking the microphones were off, Obama asked for a little space until after his re-election when he would have more wiggle room on missile defense.

“Wiggle room,” now there’s a foreign policy. As the red line has moved, then blurred, then moved again until now it is

nearly invisible, Putin has approached the American people directly via the Times, while Assad issues orders to Washington: He’ll sign the chemical weapons agreement if the U.S. promises to bug off.

Brilliant.

We can’t quite seem to get it quite right at the helm.

Either we’re saddled with a cocksure “decidinator” who is feared for his lack of pause — or we’re stuck with an over-thinker so afraid of making the wrong decision that he paralyzes himself KATHLEEN into a pose of ineptitude.

Both profiles can PARKER be equally dangerous, depending on circumstances, though inarguably it is better to be feared than pitied. It is painful to watch as Obama is increasingly diminished by his inability to commit to a position that he himself has staked out.

Certitude isn’t always an admirable trait.

In fact, in political discourse, it is most often annoying if not downright wrong.

Life is not, as it turns out, black and white.

Diplomacy is all about exploring the shades of gray. But it is also true that the president of the United States doesn’t get to suffer the usual flaws of human comport. He doesn’t get to promise grave consequences for unacceptable behavior and then, failing to follow through, act as though everyone else’s perception is somehow at fault.

“I didn’t set a red line,” Obama has said.

“The world set a red line.”

This not only is false but sounds petulant. The president’s speech to the nation Tuesday night struck a better tone, but it was consistently inconsistent in content. Obama conveyed the sense that he really doesn’t know what he intends to do — or why.

Recognizing this, Putin now has taken

•

Millions around the world do see the U.S. not only as a model of democracy but also as exceptional because, among other things, we let everybody talk. Even clowns.

• the high road, scolding the U.S. for its “commonplace” interventions in countries not its own.

“Is it in America’s long-term interest?

I doubt it,” Putin wrote — and we know that Putin cares deeply about America’s long-term interest. “Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan ‘you’re either with us or against us.’”

And, it is “extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.”

Actually, Vlad, millions around the world do see the U.S. not only as a model of democracy but also as exceptional because, among other things, we let everybody talk.

Even clowns. Sing it, Judy.

Whatever the outcome of these fire-hydrant gymnastics, a positive result (no U.S. military engagement and an enforceable chemical weapons agreement with Syria) likely will have been accidental. So be it and pass the champagne. But the larger lesson should not get lost in events: Never draw a line unless you are prepared to fight.

Erasers make lousy weapons.

What Others Say • Pakistan’s peaceful transition During most of his five years as Pakistan’s president, Asif Ali Zardari was so embattled that there were constant rumors that he would be killed, jailed or ousted in a military coup. On Sunday, he left office after a formal lunch hosted by his political rivals. This was the first time that an elected Pakistani president had completed his term; most others were overthrown or forced to resign. It was a remarkable development in a fragile nation not known for peaceful transitions. On Monday, Mamnoon Hussain, an obscure 73-year-old political figure, was sworn in as his successor.

This was all seen as a hopeful if unexpected sign that democratic institutions may be taking hold. Zardari, elected

president after his wife, Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister, was assassinated, was controversial. Senior judges tried to unseat him through corruption prosecutions; generals spread rumors of possible coups; the news media and the public criticized him incessantly; the Taliban vowed to kill him. But he confounded critics by surviving. He also strengthened democracy by moderating the powers of his own office and the confrontational tone of politics in general.

Pakistan remains a dangerous country. …

It is vitally important that Hussain, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the military, headed by Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, work together to strengthen democratic processes. Kayani, probably the most powerful man in the country, should

step down as planned in November and be replaced by someone who will continue to decrease the army role in politics.

Now that Pakistan has secured a $6.6 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, the government should make the reforms needed to get the country on a sound financial footing. That has to include making sure that Pakistan’s wealthy elite pay income taxes, and, if Pakistani leaders are smart, will also include shutting down a nuclear weapons program that wastes billions of dollars better spent on social programs like education.

The peaceful transition from Zardari to Hussain gives Pakistan a marker on which to build.

It’s never too late to send condolences DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of four years, “Joey,” is a kind and loving person.

Recently the father of one of his close childhood friends died. We live a plane ride away, and Joey could not get time off work to attend the services.

I assumed Joey called his friend and family to extend his sympathies. During our last visit home, I found out he had not reached out to them. I’m upset that he didn’t, and I know the friend was deeply hurt by it.

At this point, what can Joey do to make things right?

Why wouldn’t he make the call in the first place? — SMOOTHING IT OVER DEAR SMOOTHING: Joey may not have reached out because he didn’t know what to do, which would have been to call and extend his condolences or send a card or handwritten note. He may have procrastinated because he didn’t know what to say and was afraid he’d

say the wrong thing.

The way to fix this would be for Joey to pick up the phone, apologize to his friend for not calling sooner, and confess that he knows he was wrong for not doing so. All he needs to say after that DEAR is that he’s for his ABBY sorry friend’s loss.

DEAR ABBY: My daughterin-law allows her 2-year-old daughter to run around naked before bath time and at other times. They have been visiting us, and there are also other people in the house and yard.

The child’s mom tells her to say, “Look at these buns!” and laughs.

We feel this is inappropriate and dangerous. — CONCERNED GRANDMA DEAR GRANDMA: While I don’t think that allowing a child to run around nude at home is dangerous, I do agree that encouraging a child to run naked and say, “Look at these buns!” is unwise. The response it brings (“Ha, ha, ha — isn’t she cute!”) teaches the little girl that this is a way to get attention. While this may be amusing at 2, it is setting a pattern that will attract the wrong kind of attention when she is 4, 5 or 6. Envision her mooning the first-grade class!

Perhaps you can make your daughter-in-law understand by showing her this column.

heartburn medications are available over-the-counter or by prescription.

Irritation and swelling in the throat can also be part of an allergic reaction to certain medications. The blood pressure medicines called “ACE inhibitors” are particularly likely to cause swelling in the throat. Rarely, that swelling can become so severe that it threatens your ability to breathe and is a true medical emergency. If one of my patients on an ACE inhibitor has even a mild sensation of a lump in the throat, I switch the patient to another type of blood pressure medicine.

A food allergy is another possibility. I once had a patient who got a lump in her throat and swollen lips any time she ate a mango.

This was sad, because she loved mangoes!

DEAR DOCTOR K: I often feel like I have a lump of mucus in my throat. In the morning I spit some of it up, but the sensation doesn’t go away. What can I do about it?

DEAR READER: Doctors sometimes use the term “globus sensation” for the feeling of a lump in the throat. The first question I ask when a patient says he has a lump in his throat is: Is it just a feeling that there is a lump there, or is there something you can spit up?

Because you say you have mucus that you cough up, the most likely explanation is that allergies are causing your nose and sinuses to produce extra mucus. At night, when you are lying flat, that mucus collects in the back of your throat; that’s why you tend to spit it up in the mornings. The treatment is allergy medications and inhalers.

B5

Zenker’s diverticulum, when a pouch forms in the wall of the back of the throat.

Food can collect in the pouch and may come back out before it is swallowed.

Zenker’s diverticulum is easily diagnosed and treated, usually by an ear, nose and throat specialist.

In medical school we’re taught a lot about the major illnesses — the ones that can disable or kill you. But many of my patients suffer, instead, from one of the “minor maladies of man,” about which we know only a little.

If we had more medical research on these minor maladies, I’ll bet we’d come up with treatments that would save a lot of people minor misery.

50th anniversary of Alabama church bombing marked BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Hundreds of people black and white, many holding hands, filled an Alabama church that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan 50 years ago Sunday to mark the anniversary of the blast that killed four little girls and became a landmark moment in the civil rights struggle.

The Rev. Arthur Price taught the same Sunday school lesson that members of 16th Street Baptist Church heard the morning of the bombing — “A Love That Forgives.”

Then, the rusty old church bell was tolled four times as the girls’ names were read.

Bombing survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, who lost her right eye and sister Addie Mae Collins in the blast, stood by as members laid a wreath at the spot where the dynamite device was placed along an outside wall.

Rudolph was 12 at the time, and her family left the church after the bombing.

She said it was important to return in memory of her sister, who was 14, and the three other girls who died: Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley Morris, both 14, and Denise McNair, 11.

“God spared me to live and tell just what happened on that day,” said Rudolph, who testified against the Klansmen convicted years later in the bombing.

Congregation members and visitors sang the old hymn “Love Lifted Me” and joined hands in prayer. The somber Sunday school lesson was followed by a raucous, packed worship service with gospel music and believers waving their hands.

During the sermon, the Rev. Julius Scruggs of Huntsville, president of the National Baptist Convention USA, said, “God said you may murder four little girls, but you won’t murder the dream of justice and liberty for all.”

Later Sunday, Attorney General Eric Holder and others were set to attend a commemoration. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a Birmingham native who went to school with McNair, was among the scheduled speakers.

The dynamite bomb went off outside the church Sept. 15, 1963. Of the Klansmen convicted years later, one remains imprisoned. Two others died in prison.

Two young men, both black, were shot to death in Birmingham in the chaos that followed the bombing.

Birmingham was strictly segregated at the time of the bombing, which occurred as city schools were being racially integrated for the first time. The all-black 16th Street Baptist was a gathering spot for civil rights demonstrations for months before the blast.

AP AP

Bombing victim Sarah Collins Rudolph, left, and her husband George Rudolph applaud during a memorial service at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Sunday.

The bombing became a powerful symbol of the depth of racial hatred in the South and helped build momentum for later laws, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

During the commemoration, an honor guard composed of black and whites officers and firefighters watched over ceremonies; something that would have been unthinkable in Birmingham in 1963. That same year, white police officers and firefighters used dogs and water hoses on black demonstrators marching for equal rights.

President Barack Obama issued a statement noting that earlier this year the four girls were posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the country’s highest civilian honors.

“That horrific day in Birmingham, Alabama quickly became a defining moment for the Civil Rights Movement. It galvanized Americans all across the country to stand up for equality and broadened support for a movement that would eventually lead to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” Obama said.

Rev. Bernice King, a daughter of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., noted the changed city in a prayer.

“We thank you father for the tremendous progress we have made in 50 years, that we can sit in the safe confines of this sanctuary being protected by the city of Birmingham when 50 years ago the city turned its eye and its ears away from us,” she said.

More bombings in Iraq Officers of Police Quick Reaction Force inspect the site of a car bomb attack in front of their headquarters in the town of Suwayrah, 25 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq on Sunday. A new wave of insurgent

attacks, mostly car bombs targeting Shiite-dominated cities in central and southern Iraq, killed and wounded scores of people, officials said.

Despite pressure, ban on gay blood donors endures NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. gay-rights movement has achieved many victories in recent years — on marriage, military service and other fronts. Yet one vestige of an earlier, more wary era remains firmly in place: the 30-year-old nationwide ban on blood donations by gay and bisexual men.

Dating from the first years of the AIDS epidemic, the ban is a source of frustration to many gay activists, and also to many leading players in the nation’s health and blood-supply community who have joined in calling for change.

In June, the American Medical Association voted to oppose the policy. AMA board member William Kobler called it “discriminatory and not based on sound science.” Last month, more than 80 members of Congress wrote to the Department of Health and Human Services, criticizing the lifetime ban as an outdated measure that perpetuates inaccurate stereotypes about gay men.

On some college campuses, students have urged boycotts of blood drives until the ban is repealed. Over the summer, activists organized a

“National Gay Blood Drive” — asking gay men to visit blood centers, take tests to show their blood was safe, and then try to donate in defiance of the ban.

In the face of such pressure, the Food and Drug Administration — the HHS agency that regulates America’s blood supply — has been unwavering. The lifetime ban will be eased, the FDA says, “only if supported by scientific data showing that a change in policy would not present a significant and preventable risk to blood recipients.”

Under the auspices of HHS, a few studies are in progress that might lay the groundwork for a review of the policy. Department spokeswoman Diane Gianelli said the studies reflect a commitment to “continuously improving the safety and availability of the nation’s blood supply.”

However, some activists are impatient at the prospect of a research process that’s likely to extend over several years with an uncertain outcome. They argue that the U.S. could move now to emulate Spain and Italy, where blanket bans on gay blood donations have been replaced by policies that ban donations by anyone — gay

or straight — who’s recently had unsafe sex, while allowing donations from gays and bisexuals whose blood is tested as safe and whose sexual behavior is deemed to pose no risk.

“We do not think HHS is moving fast enough,” said Jason Cianciotto of Gay Men’s Health Crisis, a New York-based nonprofit engaged in AIDS prevention and care.

Cianciotto said the ban “perpetuates the stigma that gay and bisexual men are dangerous to public health,” and thus undercuts efforts to combat HIV. The FDA says its policy is not intended as a judgment on donors’ sexual orientation, and instead is based on the documented risk of blood infections, such as HIV, associated with male-to-male sex.

According to the FDA, men who have had sex with other men represent about 2 percent of the U.S. population, yet accounted for at least 61 percent of all new HIV infections in the U.S. in 2010.

The FDA implemented the ban in 1983, when health officials were first recognizing the risk of contracting AIDS via blood transfusions.
