Battling disease with art

BY EMILY THORNTON The World

NORTH BEND — Some of the pastels depicting landscapes are from his imagination and some are from real life.

Dusty Harrington-Collins, a retired Army veteran, has been painting for 20 years. Now, the Parkinson’s disease patient says it helps ease his symptoms.

“It’s tremendous,” said HarringtonCollins, “When I’m painting, I hardly have any shakes at all.”

Harrington-Collins was diagnosed with Parkinson’s eight years ago, and he now battles his symptoms, which often include tremors, slowness of movement, muscular rigidity or stiffness and postural i n s t a b i l i t y.

NORTH BEND — South Coast educators are in the same race as schools nationwide, trying to find instructional materials that align with the Common Core State Standards.

The North Bend School District put $120,000 toward new elementary math material for seven years. Elementary teachers piloted two programs and eventually chose Go Math! The workbooks point out a specific standard that aligns with the problem at hand. That standard will also be noted in letters sent home to parents, as well as an online component for more practice and software to use on Smart Boards in class.

“There’s multiple ways to practice that skill beyond just the workbook,” said Tiffany Rush, North Bend schools’ curriculum director.

Every Oregon school district is implementing the Common Core math and English language arts standards this school year. This spring, those standards will be tested for the first time in the new Smarter Balanced assessment, which is replacing the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, or OAKS. “None of us truly know how students will respond to these assessments,” Rush said.

Oregon Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Rob Saxton said this summer that only 30 to 40 percent of students will likely pass the new exam, given the rigor of the new standards. In May, the Oregon Education Association called for a moratorium on what they and teachers unions nationwide have dubbed a “high-stakes” testing culture.

“When the timeline doesn’t allow for giving 100 percent to preparing our students, none of us should be surprised by the prediction that 65 percent of all students will fail the first test,” said OEA President Hanna Vaandering in May. While the standards are mandated, the curriculum and how they’re taught are not. The new standards are tougher, meaning curriculum teams and teachers have poured hours upon hours into figuring out best practices.

“Smaller districts don’t have huge curriculum teams,” Rush said, meaning groups of teachers sat down over the past couple summers to look at the new standards, the curriculum already in place, and where gaps exist.

“How, as instructional staff, do we scaffold that learning?” Rush said. “It creates a bit of SEE SCHOOLS | A8

Insurers are still avoiding sick patients

BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Ending insurance discrimination against the sick was a central goal of the nation’s health care overhaul, but leading patient groups say that promise is being undermined by new barriers from insurers.

The insurance industry responds that critics are confusing legitimate cost-control with bias. Some state regulators, however, say there’s reason to be concerned about policies that shift costs to patients and narrow their choices of hospitals and doctors.

With open enrollment for 2015 three months away, the Obama administration is being pressed to enforce the Affordable Care Act’s anti-discrimination provisions. Some regulations have been issued; others are pending after more than four years.

More than 300 patient advocacy groups recently wrote Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell to complain about some insurer tactics that “are highly discriminatory against patients with chronic health conditions and may ... violate the (law’s) nondiscrimination provisions.”

Among the groups were the AIDS Institute, the

Albacore

BY GAIL ELBER For The World

Albacore tuna are among the ocean’s most powerful swimmers. Young albacore traverse the Pacific each year, and full-grown albacore can swim at 50 mph for short distances. They can live up to 12 years and attain weights of up to 90 pounds, preying on smaller fish.

Each spring, albacore are hatched in the warm waters of the western Pacific. Many of them, especially the juveniles that are 2 to 5 years old, migrate annually across the North Pacific in spring, down the coast of Washington and Oregon in summer, and back across the Pacific to Asia.

Tuna were first commercially canned in 1903.

In recent decades, changes in oceanographic conditions have shifted the center of West Coast albacore fishing from California to Oregon and Washington. In 2013, tuna accounted for 21 percent of Oregon’s commercial fishing revenue.

Charleston landed 18.7 percent of Oregon’s tuna, Winchester Bay hauled in 1.5 percent, and Port Orford landed 0.21 percent.

In summer, bringing a cooler down to the dock and watching an expert loin tuna for you to take home on ice is an annual ritual for both tourists and locals. When the migrating fish pass close enough to shore, which doesn’t happen every year, recreational fishermen can enjoy catching these mighty fish themselves.

CIA should answer for its crimes At long last, after all these years, we have a defining question to We The People on our rule of law from libertarian Jacob G. Hornberger, founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation: “Why Not Simply Abolish the CIA?” He asks: “Did any CIA agent get indicted for torturing people? No. “Did any CIA agent get indicted for destroying the videotapes that showed the torture? No. “Did any CIA agent get indicted for murdering prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq? No.” As I’ve often reported, the list of the agency’s wrongdoings is long, continuous and deeply documented in such books as “Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA,”

by Tim Weiner; and “Globalizing Torture: CIA Secret Detention And Extraordinary Rendition,” by Amrit Singh and published

by The Open Society Foundations.

And right now, many Americans are waiting for the public release of an extensive, carefully four-year validated report from the Senate Intelligence Committee on the history of CIA torture and its other crimes against our rule of law NAT and the international rule HENTOFF of law.

But I was not surColumnist prised to see that the release of this report had been delayed indefinitely. How come? Susan Crabtree of the Washington Examiner explains: “Senate Democrats engaged in a tugof-war with the White House over heavy redactions to its long-delayed torture report remain furious that President Obama allowed the CIA to censor the document” (”Democrats steamed that White House let the CIA censor a torture report,” Crabtree, Washington Examiner, Aug. 7).

Who asked the most secretive president in our history to exercise that authority?

Crabtree writes: “In a letter dated April 7, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked Obama to allow the White House to ‘take the lead’ in determining what would be redacted from a declassified study it planned to publicly release.”

The champion of the Senate’s torture report expected sudden candor from Obama of all people? Feinstein got a curveball.

“We tortured some folks,” the president said in an Aug. 1 White House press conference.

But, according to The Guardian, “he believed intelligence officials responsible for torturing detainees were working during a period of extraordinary stress and fear” (”Obama admits CIA ‘tortured some folks’ but stands by Brennan over spying,” Paul Lewis, The Guardian, Aug. 1).

And, revealingly, before deciding to delay the report indefinitely once the CIA had edited it, Feinstein “indicated the CIA was most sensitive about two categories of information in files related to the interrogation program: ‘the true names of non-supervisory CIA personnel and the names of specific countries in which the CIA operated detention sites’” (”U.S. braces for torture report blowback,” Josh Gerstein, politico.com, May 15).

Aren’t We The People also entitled to know the true names of high-level CIA personnel who tortured at will, as well as the presidents and members of the Judiciary Committee who gave them the authority to?

Nonetheless, a number of dogged reporters have been digging into the classified report to tell us some of what’s being held back so that we’ll know why.

Here’s one from Alex Kane of AlterNet: “CIA went beyond legal memo. In 2002, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel drafted a report authorizing CIA torture, saying that the use of waterboarding, sleep deprivation and stress positions were perfectly legal. It was written by Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo” (who is still a University of California law school professor and frequent writerlecturer) ...

“But even that memo attempting to legalize torture wasn’t enough for the CIA ... McClatchy reported that the CIA went beyond what it was authorized to do by the Bush administration.

“In a phone interview with AlterNet, (Jason) Leopold (of Al Jazeera America) said this revelation casts a harsh light on the Obama administration’s arguments that those who relied on Department of Justice legal advice shouldn’t be prosecuted. “’It literally demolishes any rationale that Obama and (Attorney General Eric) Holder had for not investigating, for not bringing criminal charges, or even launching a criminal inquiry against people who were responsible for implementing this,’ said Leopold” (”5 Explosive Revelations Leaked From Senate Report Exposing CIA Torture,” Alex Kane, AlterNet, April 15).

How about bringing an impeachment inquiry of commander in chief Barack Obama? He was — and is — deeply involved in hiding these crimes against our rule of law and our disintegrating Constitution.

Letters to the Editor America allows free speech I went to the Farmers Market yesterday (Aug. 13) with my granddaughter and husband to find some fresh produce and enjoy my community. Amongst the vendors was a man who was preaching the word of God. As we were walking past, a woman walking behind me said something regarding this man to her friend, and that she had called the city of Coos Bay to find out if it was legal for him to publicly preach. Her friend didn’t say anything as the woman kept talking about how the city said it was legal for him to be in public and to preach, and how she found it offensive. I found it offensive that this woman doesn’t know what freedom of speech is about. What concerns me most is that she has a legal vote to cast but clearly doesn’t know how to use it properly,

since she cannot fathom the First Amendment.

You’re not always going to agree with what you see or hear, but understand that while we still are the United States of America, we do have a Constitution that protects a person such as this man and his freedom to speak. Some stood to listen while others walked passed; It’s not something that requires an intervention, as he is doing nothing wrong. If anything, you should be proud to see their exercising someone Constitutional rights and recognize that they are free to do so without being run off or arrested.

We are Freedom.

More folks rejecting Obamacare Democrats have long believed Obamacare would become more popular once it was fully in place and Americans got a chance to see it up close. So why is Obamacare less popular now than a few months ago? Because it is fully in place and Americans have had a chance to see it up close.

According to new polling by the Kaiser Family Foundation, which has closely tracked Obamacare for years, 37 percent of those surveyed have a favorable view of the Affordable Care Act, while 53 percent have an unfavorable view.

That’s an eight-percentage-point jump in unfavorability over last month, and a two-point drop in favorability over the same time.

Why the shift? It’s not because millions of Americans have suddenly become conservative Republicans. Kaiser found that disapproval of Obamacare has risen across the board. Among Democrats, for example, the law’s unfavorable rating jumped six points in July, while its favorable rating fell four points. A similar thing happened among independents and — it hardly seemed possible — among Republicans who already hated the law.

Obamacare’s unfavorables also rose among all income groups.

The same among all age groups. And the same for race and ethnicity: D i sa p p rova l among rose whites, blacks, and Hispanics.

Rather than a BYRON shift among YORK some identifiable group, Columnist Obamacare’s rising unpopularity seems to be a product of the simple fact that, several months into its implementation, more and more people are having personal experience with the law.

Kaiser asked respondents, “So far, would you say the health care law has directly helped you and your family, directly hurt you and your family, or has it not had a direct impact?” Fifteen percent said Obamacare has directly helped them, while 28 percent said it has directly hurt them, and 56 percent said it has had no effect.

Another bit of evidence supporting that conclusion came in the June poll from Kaiser, in which researchers asked, “Is your impression of the health care law

based mainly on your own experience, what you’ve seen and heard on television, radio, and in newspapers, what you’ve learned from friends and family, or some other source?” The number of people who say their opinion of Obamacare is based on their personal experience is rising — 23 percent in February of this year,26 percent in June. The number who say their opinion is shaped by what they’ve learned from friends and family is also growing — 18 percent in February, 22 percent in June. And the number who say their opinion is based on what they see in the media is shrinking: 44 percent in February, 37 percent in June.

So more and more, people are basing their opinion of Obamacare on their own experience of those around them, and not on what they’ve seen on cable TV or heard on talk radio. And disapproval is going up.

A majority of the people who said Obamacare has directly helped them said its prime benefit was greater access to health coverage and care. A majority of those who said Obamacare has directly hurt them said its main effect was to increase their health costs.

Overall, the numbers reflect

Obamacare’s design; it was intended to offer taxpayer-subsidized health coverage to a relatively small group of people (the roughly 15 percent of the population that had no health coverage) by imposing costs on the far larger group who had coverage and were satisfied with it.

Given that, it’s not surprising more people report a negative than positive Obamacare experience.

What is unclear is how those experiences will affect November’s midterms.

Democrats have veered between fearing that Obamacare will spell complete disaster, to hoping it might actually be a benefit, to assuming it will be a negative, but maybe not by much.

The answer will depend on those people who say they’ve been hurt by Obamacare. Will that experience determine their vote?

Or will they view their own problems as negligible and base their vote on something else?

Democrats have a lot riding on the answer.

State and Nation Angry wife resents husband for hiding news of his health DEAR ABBY: When my husband is sick or needs to have surgery, he refuses to tell his family and doesn’t want me to. This puts me in a very awkward position.

I’m damned if I do tell them because he will be upset with me, and damned if I don’t because his family won’t trust me, and I don’t want things that way.

Invariably, when he gets home, he calls his family and tells them all about his surgery, and I’m left looking like I withheld the information, when it’s not me at all.

I have asked him what if he DIES? His family will be upset not only by the tragedy, but also at me DEAR for having kept them in the dark.

I’m considering leaving him over this. I d o n ’ t deserve this from him.

And no, he JEANNE see a PHILLIPS won’t counselor and I won’t do it alone, so do you have any other advice than that?

— IN A DIFFICULT POSITION D EA R I N A D I F F I C UL T POSITION: You should not be made to feel that you’re stuck in the middle. It would be nice if your husband understood that when he is sick enough to be hospitalized that YOU might need the emotional support his family could offer. But since it’s not going to happen, he should make plain to his family that HE prefers to be the bearer of this kind of news, and the reason they aren’t hearing it from you is because he wants it that way.

DEAR ABBY: I love my sister and enjoy chatting with her, but our schedules make it difficult to connect.

When we do speak, her husband often interjects or starts another conversation with her, as if she isn’t on the phone. She also settles spats between her toddlers and other things her husband could manage while we’re talking.

When this happens I say, “I can tell you’re tied up.

Can we talk later when things settle down?” Her reply: “We can talk now.

Things are ALWAYS crazy around here.”

As it stands, we speak only a few times a year, and I’d like her undivided attention. I have tried bringing this up a number of times, but she feels life doesn’t stand still for anyone.

Is it too much to ask for 30 minutes, three times a year?

We live several states apart, so having a face-to-face isn’t an option. Any help would be appreciated, because I’m hurt. — MISSING MY SISTER IN GEORGIA DE A R M I S S I N G Y O U R SISTER: I don’t blame you for feeling hurt, because apparently your sister isn’t interested in having the kind of contact you would like. It may be that her husband is ultra-controlling — hence the constant interruptions from him — or that her household is so disorganized she’s in the middle of a whirlwind.

If you haven’t already, write her a letter and express your feelings. It’s one way of getting your thoughts across without being interrupted. I don’t think 30 minutes three times a year is a lot to ask of her. Propose setting a specific time to talk when her kids and husband aren’t around. Then cross your fingers and hope she sees the light.

Oregon State Fair changes price structure

The Associated Press

President Barack Obama and daughter Malia Obama exit the Marine One helicopter to board Air Force One at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station in Bourne, Mass., on Sunday, en route to Washington. The president is taking a short hiatus from his family vacation on the island of Martha's Vineyard to attend meetings in Washington.

Obama in Washington for meetings on Iraq, Missouri WASHINGTON (AP) — Taking a two-day break from summer vacation, President Barack Obama returned to work at the White House on Monday, replacing images of him bicycling and golfing on an island resort with those of him at the White House huddling over current crises with top advisers.

Obama interrupted his family getaway on Martha’s Vineyard, during which airstrikes in Iraq and violent clashes in a St. Louis suburb intruded on his golf and beach plans.

The exact reason for Obama’s return shortly after midnight remained unclear, though it appeared aimed in part at countering criticism that Obama was spending two weeks on the Massachusetts island in the midst of multiple crises.

After a week of photos depicting the president golfing or riding his bike with his family, the White House was making sure that press phoget would tographers pictures Monday of Obama in meetings with national security aides discussing Iraq and with Attorney General Eric Holder for an update on the federal response to protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police shooting of an

unarmed 18-year-old.

Still, Obama’s brief return to Washington was planned even before the U.S. military began striking targets in Iraq and before the standoff between police and protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.

The president was scheduled to return to Martha’s Vineyard Tuesday night.

The meetings come as conditions in Ferguson deteriorated overnight and after Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the National Guard to step in. Holder over the weekend ordered a federal medical examiner to perform a third autopsy on the teenager, Michael Brown.

In Iraq, Iraqi and Kurdish forces reported gaining back control of the country’s largest dam from Islamic militants after two days of airstrikes.

While Obama has had plenty of downtime since arriving in Martha’s Vineyard a week ago, he also made two public statements about the situations in Iraq and Ferguson. The president had ordered the Iraq strikes days before leaving for vacation, while the tensions in Ferguson that stem from the shooting death of an unarmed teen boiled over during his vacation.

“I think it’s fair to say there are, of course, ongoing complicated situations in the world, and that’s why you’ve seen the president stay engaged,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said.

Obama’s vacation has also been infused with a dose of politics. He headlined a fundraiser on the island for Democratic Senate candidates and attended a birthday party for veteran Democratic adviser Vernon Jordan’s wife, where he spent time with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

That get-together between the former rivalsturned-partners added another complicated dynamic to Obama’s vacation. Just as Obama arrived on Martha’s Vineyard, an interview with the former secretary of state was published in which she levied some of her sharpest criticism of Obama’s foreign policy.

Clinton later promised she and Obama would “hug it out” when they saw each other at Jordan’s party. No reporters were allowed in, so it’s not clear whether there was any hugging, but the White House said the president danced to nearly every song.

SALEM (AP) — Price changes are in store when the Oregon State Fair opens the gates Friday.

Some prices are up, others are down.

Parking won’t be free anymore; it’ll now cost $5 to stow a vehicle, the Statesman Journal reported.

But ticket prices are dropping, from $11 per person to $8. Fairgoers who plan ahead can get an additional $2 off by buying their tickets in advance, and there are other ways to snag discounts.

There will also be free seats available for the fair’s concerts and live performances.

Amber Lindsey, a spokeswoman for the fair, said there is limited free seating for all of the rock, country and comedy performances at the L.B. Day Amphitheatre, and there is one faith-based act for families with free limited seating as well.

The fair begins Friday and ends Sept. 1.

The changes follow a decision by the state Legislature to create a public corporation to manage the

Nursing moms demonstrate CLACKAMAS (AP) — Dozens of mothers nursed their babies Sunday at the Ram Restaurant in Clackamas Town Center to protest the restaurant’s treatment of a nursing mother a week earlier.

Erin Klein said a manager asked her to cover up her breast. The restaurant said other customers had complained.

But Oregon law permits breastfeeding in public, as the restaurant learned when a social media campaign brought the “nurse-in” to the Ram. This time, the restaurant welcomed the nursing mothers.

Oregon schools at risk in major earthquake SALEM (AP) — Oregon state Senate President Peter Courtney of Salem said he’ll make a funding proposal Tuesday to help schools upgrade to withstand a major earthquake.

It would increase bond funding for school district grants.

The Statesman Journal reports a 2007 study found more than 1,000 Oregon school buildings were found to have a high risk of collapse during a major earthquake.

But the state has granted money to only 25 locations for seismic upgrades.

The 2007 Statewide Seismic Need Assessment estimated that making all the school buildings in Oregon seismically sound would cost nearly $10 billion.

State police say the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office received a call Saturday night that a man described as armed and suicidal was driving on Highway 20 in the Santiam Pass area.

State police spotted the driver, who sped away before being stopped just after 9 p.m.

Police say the man failed to follow orders. Several agencies responded, including a Bend Police Department negotiator and state police SWAT personnel.

About an hour after the man was stopped, officers were able to check on his vehicle. They found him dead from an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound.

Danger signs you’re headed for the debt trap Debt. It’s a four-letter word and certainly not ideal under any circumstances.

Being debt-free is always better than being in debt. But not all debt is created equal.

Generally, debt comes in two flavors: Secured and unsecured.

Secured debts are collateralized. There’s something of value in the deal that acts as a security deposit. A home mortgage is a good example of a secured debt — something that most people need, at least with their first home.

Both the lender and the borrower can get EVERYDAY out of the CHEAPSKATE deal any time by simply selling t h e i r interest.

The borrower can sell the h o m e and pay Mary off the Hunt mortgage; the lender can sell the loan and walk away.

Unsecured debts, on the other hand, are wild and crazy because there is no security. This kind of toxic debt comes with high rates of interest and is widely available on one's signature alone.

Credit-card debt is a dandy example. Think of unsecured debt as you would a steel trap that is armed with attractive bait to lure you in. Then once it has you, it slams shut. Now you are its prisoner.

I’ve been in the debt trap.

It’s a horrible place to be. It took me 13 years to gnaw my way out of a six-figure load of unsecured, toxic debt. I didn’t file for bankruptcy.

Instead, I repaid every dime owing including interest, penalties and fees.

I didn’t get into the debt trap against my will. I did it to myself, naively and stupidly. I nibbled at that delicious bait.

I chose to ignore the warning signs that I was heading for trouble if I didn’t change my ways. I paid a terrible price for acting so foolishly.

Here are the warning signs I ignored: 1. Living on credit instead of cash. I relied heavily on credit cards to pay for things because I didn’t have enough money to get through the month.

2. D el a yi n g p a y m e nt o r paying late. Juggling was my way of life. I’d count on next month’s income to pay this month’s bills. I was always behind.

3. Unable to give or save.

This is the first sign that you’re spending all you earn, plus some you haven’t earned yet. I never had enough to save or to share with others.

4. U n a bl e t o pa y ta x es .

Don’t ask how I know about this. It’s a painful memory.

5. Living an extravagant l i f e s t y l e . Guilty, guilty, guilty. At the darkest moment in my financial past, I was driving a new Cadillac complete with 47 more enormous lease payments. Need I say more?

6. Looking for get-richquick ideas. I was just certain that becoming a world’s next triple-diamond director would make me filthy rich, and I mean like tomorrow. I had to learn the hard way (five times) that there are no get-rich-quick ideas that work, at least not legally.

Do you see any of these danger signs in your life? If so, pay attention! Change your course, get some help — do whatever you must avoid the debt trap.

And if you’re already there, run don’t walk to NFCC.org, an organization of trustworthy, nonprofit, certified credit counselors with offices in every area across the country.

World Negotiators harden positions in Cairo WORLD D I G E S T

CAIRO (AP) — Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Egypt-mediated Gaza truce talks hardened their positions Monday ahead of the expiration of a five-day cease-fire, though both sides appear reluctant to return to the deadly all-out fighting that has destroyed large parts of the densely-populated coastal strip.

Iraq says it seizes Mosul Dam; militants deny it

BAGHDAD (AP) — Boosted by two days of U.S. airstrikes, Iraqi and Kurdish forces on Monday wrested back control of the country’s largest dam from Islamic militants, a military spokesman in Baghdad said, as fighting was reported to be underway for the rest of the strategic complex.

Soon after the news broke, the Islamic State group, which two weeks ago captured the Mosul Dam spanning the Tigris River just north of the city of Mosul, denied the claim, insisting it was still in control of the facility.

A U.S. defense official in Washington confirmed the Islamic State group has not entirely lost control of the Mosul Dam.“It’s not over,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations.

The retaking of the dam

would mark the first major victory for the Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling the Islamic militants since U.S. airstrikes began earlier this month. However, the conflicting accounts that emerged Monday underscored the fluid nature of the situation as Kurdish and Iraqi forces try to reassert themselves after weeks of setbacks.

Retaking the dam could significantly boost their morale as they try to free territory overrun by the Islamic State in a blitz this summer.

The dam and its broader complex hold great strategic value as they supply electricity and water to a large part of the country.

Army spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said the dam itself was secured by Kurdish peshmerga troops and Iraqi security forces on Monday but that the south-

ern side of the complex remains contested and that fierce fighting is underway to free that area.

At least 170 bombs have been dismantled around the dam but many more remain, al-Moussawi added in a televised statement. He said that militants fled to areas near the south of the complex, hiding in homes and Al-Moussawi said earlier Monday that the Iraqi and Kurdish forces “hoisted the Iraqi flag over” the dam. He added that the troops were backed by a joint aerial support but didn’t specify whether there were any U.S. airstrikes in the area of the dam Monday.

Local residents and others in the area could not immediately be contacted to confirm the security forces’ recapture of the dam.

Humanitarian aid for expected soon MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s foreign minister says he expects the extensive humanitarian aid mission for eastern Ukraine to enter the country in the near future.

Speaking at news conference in Berlin, where he met a day earlier with his counterparts from Ukraine, France and Germany, Sergey Lavrov said Monday that “all questions” regarding the mission had been removed and that agreement had been reached with Ukraine and the international Red Cross.

It was not clear if Lavrov was referring to security guarantees, which the Red Cross wants to receive from all sides, including eastern Ukraine’s separatist fighters, before accompanying the more than 200 trucks into Ukraine.

security forces “liberated a large part of the Mosul Dam” with the help of U.S.airstrikes, adding that forces are working to fully free the entire complex. U.S. Central Command would not immediately confirm any involvement.

However, a senior Kurdish told The commander Associated Press that his peshmerga forces had withdrawn from the dam complex on Monday afternoon because it was heavily rigged with explosives. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to journalists.

In an online statement, the Islamic State denied losing control of the dam, dismissing the government claim as “mere propaganda war.” The statement, which could not China says Mercedes be independently verified, guilty of price abuses was posted on a website freBEIJING (AP) — China’s quently used by the militants. government said Monday it

It said investigators from the price bureau of the eastern province of Jiangsu found prices were so high that purchasing the parts used to make one Mercedes C-class car would cost the equivalent of buying 12 vehicles.

Poachers threaten lesser-known animals NEW DELHI (AP) — Wildlife poachers, hindered

by India’s efforts to protect majestic endangered animals including tigers and rhinos, have begun to think smaller.

And activists say scores of the country’s lesser-known species are vanishing from the wild as a result.

The Indian pangolin — a scaly critter whose defense mechanism of rolling up into a ball is no help against humans — and the star tortoise — a popular pet that maxes out at a foot in length — are just two of the species that are being killed or smuggled in increasing numbers while conservation efforts focus on such iconic animals such as tigers and elephants.

“The problem is that we were turning a blind eye to all lesser-known species and suddenly this very lucrative trade has been allowed to explode,” said Belinda Wright, director of the Wildlife Protection Society of India, an advocacy group.

‘Dozens’ of civilians killed in convoy KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — “Dozens” of civilians were killed in a rebel shelling attack Monday on a convoy of refugees trying to flee war-torn eastern Ukraine, a top Ukrainian defense official said.

Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s National Security Council, told reporters Monday he did not have an exact figure but said dozens of people have died, including children.

The separatist rebels fighting the Ukrainian government had no immediate comment on his statement.

Monday morning between the towns of Khryashchuvate and Novosvitlivka, which lie on the main road leading to Russia from the besieged rebel-held city of Luhansk, he said.

“Many people were killed, among them women and children,” Lysenko said. “We are not able to count the death toll at this point.”

When asked about a rough estimate of deaths, he said: “Dozens.”

Lysenko gave no further details and there was no immediate comment from the rebels.

allows it into the country, heading for the hard-hit city of Luhansk.

Fighting across eastern Ukraine has forced nearly 344,000 people to flee their homes, according to U.N. figures released Friday. The U.N. says about 155,800 have left for other places inside Ukraine while 188,000 more have crossed into Russia.

The flow of refugees only seems to be growing.

The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said more than 22,000 people fled the main rebel-held city of Donetsk last week compared to 6,200 the week before.

OREGON CATTLEMAN’S ASSOCIATION:

VEGETATION MONITORING METHODS TRAINING WORKSHOP

Are you a rancher who grazes livestock on lands that are also managed for the protection of wildlife habitat, riparian vegetation, or clean water? Then this workshop is for you!

Due to Oregon’s intermingled patterns of public and private lands, the coordination of information is essential for sustainable grazing and protection of habitat and healthy pasture.

The OCA has been awarded a grant for the Oregon Resources Monitoring Program; the primary goal of which is to develop a co-operative monitoring program between federal and state regulatory agencies and producers. The program is intended to provide a scientific sampling and analysis database that is affordable and useable for ranchers on their private property as well as permitted grazing use on federal land.

Why Should You Monitor?

Ducks are No. 3 in AP Poll Defending champion Florida State opens the season ranked No. 1 ■

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

The Associated Press preseason Top 25 is out. Take a look at how the ballots break down, and find out what to watch for when the college football season begins this month:

‘NOLES NATION DOMINATION

Seattle: The Mariners travel to Philadelphia to open a three-game series with the Phillies tonight. Roenis Elias (9-9, 4.14 ERA) is scheduled to start in the opener for Seattle, while Jerome Williams (0-0, 3.38 ERA) will go for Philadelphia.

Detroit: The Tigers have today off before going to Tampa for three games. Detroit’s Max Scherzer (14-4, 2.98 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Chris Archer (8-6, 3.24 ERA) in the opener, while David Price is slated to go against his old team on Thursday.

Finish No. 1. Start No. 1. Even Bobby Bowden’s best Florida State teams never did that.

Jimbo Fisher’s Seminoles will.

Jameis Winston and the defending national champions are preseason No. 1 for the sixth time.

In two of the previous five seasons Florida State started No. 1, the ‘Noles went on to finish No. 1, including a wire-to-wire title in 1999. But they never did start the following year top-ranked.

OK, the 2000 Seminoles were preseason No. 2, and after Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach whom Fisher replaced, won his first national championship in 1993, Florida State started 1995 ranked No. 3.

Fisher’s Seminoles have a long way to go to compare to Florida State’s unprecedented run of national championship contention, a string of 14 straight seasons during which the ‘Noles finished the season ranked in the top five of the AP rankings.

Still, make no mistake: Florida State 2.0 is built to last.

“We’re the second-winningest team in the country the last four years, the winningest team the last two years and have had the most NFL players,” Fisher said. “We’ve recruited well, too. Recruited a lot of great young players we’ve been able to mentor and develop as we go, so we’re very comfortable with the guys who are replacing the guys that left.”

The Seminoles were an overwhelming choice as No. 1, receiving 57 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel. No. 2 Alabama, No. 2 Oregon and No. 4 Oklahoma got one first-place vote each.

Ohio State is No. 5 and Auburn, which lost the final BCS national championship game to the Seminoles 34-31, is No. 6.

Last season was a good reminder that preseason rankings can look pretty silly by the end of the season. Four teams that finished in final top 10 last season (No. 2 Auburn, No. 3 Michigan State, No. 5 Missouri and No. 10 UCF) were unranked to start the season. Throw in No. 13 Baylor, No. 20 Arizona State and No. 23 Duke, and seven of the teams that either won or played for the championship in the six conferences with BCS automatic-qualifying status began 2013 unranked.

The Bowl Championship Series is gone now, replaced by the College Football Playoff. The top four teams will be placed into national semifinals to be played on New Year’s Day and advance to the championship game about a week and half later.

Expect surprises, though coming up with a scenario in which Florida State is not part of college football’s first final four is difficult.

Winston will make a run at his second Heisman behind an offensive line that returns four starters.

There’s turnover at receiver and running back but still plenty left of four- and five-star talent left behind.

Same goes on defense, where sophomore safety Jalen Ramsey and defensive end Mario Edwards step into leadership roles.

Florida State is the hunted again. Fisher wants them to still act like hunters.

“We better have that attitude.

It’s got to be your attitude every year,” said Fisher, starting his fifth season as Florida State coach. “We call it an attitude of domination.

You can never be satisfied.”

Florida State starts its season with a rebuilding Oklahoma State team at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which, coincidentally, is also the site of the first College Football Playoff national championship game.

LETTING DOWN

CONFERENCE CALL

Ausmus thought the Tigers might have lost some focus after beating Felix Hernandez on Saturday. “Young pitched well, but that wasn’t all Chris Young,” he said. “After the adrenaline high facing a guy like King Felix, we had a few good at-bats today, but we need to have better ones up and down the lineup.”

Do not think for a second that the end of the Southeastern Conference’s streak of national championships means the SEC is slipping.

The Associated Press

Jeff Gordon takes the checkered flag to win the NASCAR Pure Michigan 400 auto race at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday.

Gordon ends Michigan drought Driver reclaims points lead with third win of 2014 season ■

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — It had been 13 years since Jeff Gordon’s last victory at Michigan — which came during the same season as his most recent championship on NASCAR’s top series.

One of those droughts is finally over. Can the 43-year-old driver end the other as well?

“Certainly things are going well — there’s no doubt about that,” Gordon said. “I’m as shocked as anybody else.”

Gordon raced to his third Sprint Cup victory of the year, holding off Kevin Harvick on Sunday for his first win at Michigan International Speedway since 2001.

Gordon broke the track qualifying record Friday when he took the pole at 206.558 mph. He followed that up with his third Cup victory at MIS — and took over the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. After a series of cautions, Gordon came off the final restart well and led with 16 laps remaining.

He fought off a challenge from Joey Logano and maintained a comfort-

able margin over Harvick, winning the 400-mile race by 1.412 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet.

“Joey, as we rolled up to some of the restarts — not that last one, but some of the other ones — as guys were starting to sort of anticipate it, he was slowing down, and when he slowed down, everybody got bottled up, and then he’d take off,” Gordon said. “That last one, I thought he had a good start, but I had a good one, too.”

Harvick was second, followed

by Logano, Paul Menard and Earnhardt.

Gordon completed a sweep at MIS for Hendrick. Jimmie Johnson won the June race on the two-mile oval.

“I think all of our teams are running well, but this is a big, big win,” owner Rick Hendrick said.

“It’s great to see Jeff so happy. He’s like a little kid again, so I think it’s going to be really, really important for the momentum he’s carrying right now into the Chase.”

Logano was second to Gordon in qualifying. He led 86 laps and Gordon was in front for 68.

“We can win a championship. I really feel we can do that. That’s the message I want to put out there,” Logano said. “We’ve got to find a little bit more speed to keep up with one car today — 24 car was the best, only because he was good

on the long run. We weren’t as good on the long run.

There were eight cautions, including a fairly early one when Danica Patrick’s car spun and Justin Allgaier crashed into her.

Nine cars were caught up in that incident, including Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota.

Kenseth never really recovered, finishing 38th.

Brad Keselowski rubbed against the wall with about 32 laps remaining and finished eighth, remaining winless at this track in his home state. Johnson overcame some problems of his own to finish ninth, his first top-10 showing in six races.

Jeff Burton was 37th after replacing Tony Stewart in the No. 14 car. Stewart skipped his second straight Cup race after he struck and killed a driver at a dirt-track race in New York last weekend.

Hendrick and Stewart-Haas Racing are alliance teams.

Hendrick said he hasn’t talked to Stewart, but he’s been in touch with Eddie Jarvis, Stewart’s longtime business manager.

“I think they’re making the best of the situation that they’re in,” Hendrick said. “Tony’s got a lot of good folks around him.”

Gordon won for the 91st time on the Cup circuit, and this is his first three-win season since 2011. He

took over the lead in the standings by three points over Earnhardt.

Gordon also won this season at Kansas and Indianapolis.

“As a driver, especially somebody that’s been getting beat up over the years about restarts, it’s pretty nice to have the last two wins come down to restarts.”

Assuming they attempt to qualify for the final three races of the regular-season, the 12 drivers with victories this season have all wrapped up spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Kenseth remains the top driver without a victory in the standings, but he dropped to fifth place. If the regular season ended now, the last four drivers in the Chase would be Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle.

Bowyer and Biffle both moved ahead of rookie Kyle Larson, whose car caught fire against the wall just before the halfway point.

Larson ended up 43rd.

Bowyer finished sixth but sounded concerned about his situation.

“We’re behind, there’s no question. We just did what we needed to do today,” he said.

“Right now, everything has to be perfect to get a decent finish and today everything was perfect. This is a tricky part of the season.

Everybody is pushing hard.”

Mariners jump over Tigers in playoff chase Seattle starts new win streak in battle of wild card hopefuls ■

DETROIT (AP) — Lloyd McClendon was upset after he was thrown out by umpire Tony Randazzo for the second straight game. At least this time it came in a victory for his Seattle Mariners.

Chris Young pitched six shutout innings and Seattle beat Detroit 8-1 Sunday, winning the weekend series and moving back ahead of the Tigers in the race for the second AL wild-card spot.

McClendon was ejected in the seventh inning of the series finale when Randazzo said the manager made a hand gesture after the third base umpire turned down a check-swing appeal on a 3-2 pitch to Alex Avila.

“They said I raised my hand,” McClendon said. “That’s a new one for me.”

Randazzo said McClendon “took his hand and shooed away my call.”

McClendon also was ejected by Randazzo during Detroit’s 4-2 win on Saturday night for arguing balls and strikes, even though McClendon said it wasn’t him complaining.

“I’ve never had a problem with him before this weekend, so I don’t understand this,” McClendon said. “If there’s a history between us, I’m certainly not aware of it.”

Young (12-6) allowed four hits and walked one while improving to 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in four career starts against Detroit. The 6-foot10 right-hander has won each of his last three starts this season and is 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his last five games overall.

“With that lineup, you know you are going to get into trouble,” he said. “The key is getting out of it, and I was able to miss bats when I needed to today.”

Tigers rookie Robbie Ray (1-3) struggled while replacing injured right-hander Anibal Sanchez. Ray allowed four runs, three earned, and seven hits in five innings.

“We’re asking Robbie to compete in a pennant race,” Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said.

“That’s a tall order. It’s not always going to come up roses for a young pitcher in that situation.”

The Associated Press

Seattle’s Austin Jackson celebrates in the dugout after scoring in the sixth inning against Detroit on Sunday.

Ray got into trouble in the first inning, when he hurt himself by a balk when he lost focus in mid-delivery and stumbled off the mound without throwing a pitch. He also threw a wild pitch in the third that allowed a run to score, giving Seattle a 3-0 lead.

Rajai Davis created a threat for Detroit with one out in the bottom half, walking and stealing second and third, but Young got out of the jam.

Chris Denorfia’s two-out RBI triple made it 4-0 in the fifth, and the Mariners added three more in the sixth in Jim Johnson’s first appearance with Detroit.

Victor Martinez drove in Detroit’s only run with an eighth-inning double.

On Saturday, the Mariners saw a five-game winning streak come to an end when Felix Hernandez pitched only five innings after being hit on the leg by a hard ground ball in the fourth inning of a 4-2 Detroit win.

Hernandez (13-4) lost his record streak of 16 straight starts of at least seven innings and no more than two runs. He broke Tom Seaver’s major league mark of 13 straight ear-

lier this month.

Rockies rally twice to sweep Reds in twin bill THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Michael Cuddyer hit for the cycle, including a two-run double in Colorado’s five-run eighth inning, and the Rockies beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-5 on Sunday night to complete a doubleheader sweep.

Colorado won the opener 10-9 when Drew Stubbs capped a five-run ninth inning with a three-run homer off J.J. Hoover (1-9).

Cuddyer tripled in the first, homered in the fifth and singled in the seventh while becoming the seventh Rockies player to hit for the cycle and first since Carlos Gonzalez on July 31, 2010, against the Chicago Cubs.

Cuddyer’s second career cycle came in his second game back after he was sidelined for 60 games by a left shoulder fracture.

Adam Ottavino (1-4) picked up the win in relief and Carlos Contreras (0-1) took the loss.

Rex Brothers (4-5) picked up the victory in the opener despite allowing a pair of runs in the top of the ninth.

Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman walked the first four batters of the ninth inning before being replaced

by Hoover.

It was a rare bad outing for Chapman, who had made eight consecutive scoreless appearances. He was warming up in the top of the ninth when his team scored a pair of runs to take away a save chance.

Cincinnati was swept in a doubleheader for the first time in seven years.

Pittsburgh was the last team to pull it off, on Aug. 28, 2007, by scores of 6-4 and 3-2.

Brewers 7, Dodgers 2: Jonathan Lucroy tied a season high with five RBIs, including his first home run in more than three weeks, and the Brewers completed a three-game sweep.

Wily Peralta (15-7) tied Johnny Cueto and Adam Wainwright for the major league lead in victories, allowing five hits in six scoreless innings.

The Associated Press

Colorado’s Michael Cuddyer slides safely across home plate to score on a single by pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs as Cincinnati Reds catcher Travis Barnhart fields the throw in the eighth inning Sunday.

Nationals 6, Pirates 5, 11 innings: Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston drove in Jayson Werth with a gameending sacrifice fly, sending Washington to a three-game sweep.

NL East-leading Washington has won six straight. The Pirates have lost five in a row for the first time since September 2012.

Marlins 10, Arizona 3: Giancarlo Stanton hit his 32nd homer and drove in four runs to power Miami to the win.

Stanton has a career-high 88 RBIs, one more than he had in 2011. He went 7-for-14 with four walks and six RBIs in the four-game series against Arizona.

Garrett Jones also homered for the Marlins, who have won five of seven to get back to the .500 mark at 62-62.

Tom Koehler (9-9) pitched six innings, allowing two runs.

Giants 5, Phillies 2: Michael Morse got three hits and scored twice as San Francisco won consecutive

home games for the first time in over two months.

Andrew Susac had two hits and drove in the goahead run for the Giants.

Brandon Crawford drove in a pair of runs.

T im Lincecum (10-8) managed to work through five innings to end a personal three-game losing streak. He gave up two runs and seven hits.

Cubs 2, Mets 1, 10 innings: Starlin Castro hit a tiebreaking homer on the first pitch of the ninth inning to lift Chicago to the win.

Cubs starter Jake Arrieta struck out nine in seven smooth innings. He left with a 1-0 lead following Luis Valbuena’s run-scoring single in the fourth.

Slumping slugger Curtis Granderson tied it with a two-out RBI single off winner Pedro Strop (2-4) in the eighth, snapping skids of 0for-17 and 1-for-29. A diving catch by rookie center fielder Arismendy Alcantara moments earlier prevented

Castro greeted closer Jenrry Mejia (5-6) with his 13th home run, an oppositefield drive that barely cleared the wall near the right-field corner.

Cardinals 7, Padres 6: Matt Carpenter homered, doubled and drove in three runs for St. Louis, and Adam Wainwright moved into a tie for the major league lead with his 15th win.

Jon Jay’s two-run single highlighted a four-run first inning when the Cardinals batted around against rookie Odrisamer Despaigne (3-4).

Peter Bourjos and Tony Cruz each had an RBI single for St. Louis, which took three of four in the series.

INTERLEAGUE Braves 4, Athletics 3: Justin Upton hit a two-run homer, and the Braves ended Jon Lester’s seven-game winning streak.

The Braves swept the three-game series, leaving the A’s with a five-game los-

ing streak, their longest of the season. The A’s have lost seven of eight overall and trail the Angels, who lost to Texas on Sunday, by percentage points in the AL West.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees 4, Rays 2: Hiroki Kuroda (8-8) pitched neatly into the seventh inning and Brett Gardner drove in two runs to lead the Yankees to the road win.

Mark Teixeira reached 20 homers for the 11th time in his career with a solo shot in the Yankees eighth.

Royals 12, Twins 6: Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and Josh Willingham homered, and the Royals won for the 20th time in their last 25 games.

Kansas City sent 11 batters to the plate and scored seven times in the second, keyed by two-run singles for Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki. The Royals also increased their AL Central lead to 11⁄2 games over Detroit, which lost 8-1 to Seattle.

Orioles 4, Indians 1: Rookie Kevin Gausman (7-4) pitched six strong innings and Baltimore salvaged the series finale, beating Cleveland to avoid being swept for the first time since May. The AL East leaders totaled just one run in their previous two games. J.J. Hardy hit a two-out RBI single and slumping Chris Davis had an RBI double in the sixth after Baltimore was blanked over the first five by Danny Salazar (4-6).

Rangers 3, Angels 2: Adam Rosales and Mike Carp hit RBI singles in the ninth inning off Angels closer Huston Street, rallying Texas.

Texas had lost four in a row overall, and nine straight to the Angels. Los Angeles had won its last four games.

Street (1-1) had not given up a run since being acquired from San Diego on July 18 until Carp’s tying single.

White Sox 7, Blue Jays 5: Conor Gillaspie hit his first grand slam and Jordan Danks added a two-run shot to cap a six-run first inning, and the Chicago White Sox held off Toronto.

Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer, his 27th this season and first since returning from the disabled list on Friday.

The Blue Jays have lost five of six and 11 of 15.

Astros 8, Red Sox 1: Jose Altuve hit his first grand slam after Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts made a mental gaffe on a play that would have ended an inning, carrying Houston over the Red Sox. Altuve, who leads the majors in hits, went 4-for-5, raising his hit total to 173 and majors’ best average to .339 as the Astros completed a split of the four-game series.

Dexter Fowler and Jon Singleton added solo homers for Houston, which earned its 52nd win to surpass last year’s total.

Joe Kelly (0-1) was tagged for seven runs on seven hits, walking six over four innings in his Fenway Park debut with the Red Sox.

Nadal will miss U.S. Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rafael Nadal pulled out of the U.S. Open today because of an injured right wrist, making him the fourth reigning men’s champion in the last 45 years to sit out the tournament.

Nadal and the tournament announced his decision simultaneously, exactly one week before the year’s last Grand Slam tournam e n t begins.

T h e 28-yearold Spaniard was hurt July 29 while practicing on his home island of Mallorca ahead of the North American hard-court circuit.

“I am sure you understand that it is a very tough moment for me since it is a tournament I love and where I have great memories from fans, the night matches, so many things,” Nadal’s posting read.

“Not much more I can do right now, other than accept the situation and, as always in my case, work hard in order to be able to compete at the highest level once I am back.”

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — South Korea’s Gunn Yang completed his improbable run to the U.S. Amateur title with a 2-and-1 victory over Canada’s Corey Conners.

At No. 776, Yang became the lowest-ranked player in the world amateur standings to win the country’s biggest title for non-professional golfers. Along the way, he beat five players inside the top 100, including the 44thranked Conners.

Villegas shot a 7-under 63 and finished at 17-under 263.

He earned $954,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points in the final event. regular-season Villegas had four birdies and an eagle on the front nine, added a birdie on the par-5 15th and watched the rest of the tournament from the scorer’s tent with his caddie.

When the rest of the field struggled late, Villegas wound up with his fourth PGA Tour title and first since the 2010 Honda Classic. He also became the second firstround leader to win the tournament since its 2008 move back to Sedgefield Country Club and first since Arjun Atwal in 2010.

Timbers tie; Thorns win to reach NWSL playoffs FROM WIRE AND STAFF REPORTS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Liam Ridgewell scored his first career MLS goal for Portland in the Timbers’ 1-1 tie with the New England Revolution on Saturday night.

Ridgewell stole the ball near midfield, dribbled past two defenders and slotted home a shot from inside the penalty area in the 65th minute. He joined Portland (7-7-10) on June 25, after he signed a designated player contract from the English

Premier League’s West Bromwich Albion.

Charlie Davies scored for New England (8-12-13) in the 27th minute — his first MLS goal since 2011. He got behind the defense and slid a tough-angled ball off the far post.

Thorns 1, Reign 0: Portland’s Alex Morgan scored the only goal Sunday as the Thorns earned a spot in the National Women’s Soccer League playoffs with a 1-0 victory.

Morgan’s goal in the 68th minute gave the Thorns the No.

3 seed for the playoffs for the second straight year. Morgan headed in a corner kick from Allie Long.

Portland, the defending champion, opens the playoffs at No. 2 seed FC Kansas City on Saturday.

The Thorns, playing in front of 17,109 fans at Providence Park, leapfrogged over Washington and Chicago in the race for the postseason.

Portland would have missed the playoffs with any result other than a win.

Sports Buescher wins Nationwide race THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

Will Power celebrates with his pit crew after winning the Milwaukee Mile IndyCar race Sunday.

Power adds to IndyCar points lead WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — With traffic ahead and teammate Juan Pablo Montoya closing in from behind, Will Power stepped on the accelerator.

The IndyCar points leader maneuvered through the high-speed gridlock to claim a crucial victory Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile.

Power added a little breathing room in the standings over second-place Helio Castroneves and boosted Team Penske’s hopes for a season title with two races to go.

“We’re a well-oiled machine right now with all three cars,” Power said about the team that also includes Castroneves. “If we have a couple more days like this, of course, it’s going to be a great finish.”

A Penske driver has finished second each of the previous four seasons and five of the last six.

Power raced to his third victory this season, and his first on an oval. Montoya fin-

ished second, while Tony Kanaan was third.

After coming into Milwaukee with a four-point lead, Power heads to the road course at Sonoma next week with 602 points, 39 more than Castroneves.

Plus, Power proved doubters wrong who said he couldn’t win on ovals. It was Power’s third career oval victory, following Texas in 2011 and Fontana last year.

“Yes! I love winning on ovals! I love winning on ovals!” he yelled on his radio after taking the checkered flag. The season could be decided on an oval with the final in two weeks at Fontana.

Now brimming with confidence, Power said he especially wanted to win at Milwaukee.

“This is the first year that I can say to myself that I am ... a better all-around driver,” the 33-year-old Australian said. “I guess, it just comes with age, you know.”

Power’s victory ended Ryan Hunter-Reay’s twoyear winning streak at the Mile. Hunter-Reay won the Indianapolis 500, but his championship hopes took a hit after exiting following 168 laps with mechanical problems.

Hunter-Reay was third in the standings entering the race. His day had started on a high note after signing a three-year extension with Andretti Autosport to stay in the No. 28 car.

The day belonged to Power, who led for 229 laps.

He is in familiar territory in contention late in the season after also having led the standings with three races to go in 2012 and 2010.

Power crashed in the finale both years. Once again, he’s in control going into this season’s final two races in California.

“I’ve been in this situation before — the difference is, I don’t have a weakness

anymore,” Power said. “It’s just a matter of executing on a weekend.”

Power led by 2 seconds late Sunday before Montoya was able to shave about a half-second from the lead around lap 238.

Soon, Power and Montoya were the only two cars on the lead lap, with traffic ahead. It could have provided Montoya with a prime opportunity to get by.

Instead, Power started pulling away and won by 2.7 seconds.

While each praising Power, Montoya and Kanaan also groused about the traffic late with less room to pass at Milwaukee. Power said he got by from saving gas, then flooring it after hearing on the radio that Montoya was closing.

“We asked him today to drive on an oval like he would on a road course,” team president Tim Cindric said about the fuel strategy Power used.

Broncos shut out San Francisco THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Peyton Manning threw a 17yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas and dominated in his two series, and the Denver Broncos beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-0 on Sunday to spoil the NFL debut at sparkling $1.2 billion Levi’s Stadium.

The 38-year-old Manning, beginning his 17th season after throwing for an NFL-record 55 touchdown passes last year, completed 12 of 14 passes for 102 yards and a 120.8 rating. He was 8-for8 on Denver’s second drive, then backup Brock Osweiler took over and threw for a score and led another touchdown drive in a preseason matchup of the past two Super Bowl losers.

Colin Kaepernick went 5for-9 for 39 yards in his two series for ther 49ers (0-2) before a sellout crowd at the team’s flashy new digs in the heart of Silicon Valley. Major League Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes beat the Seattle Sounders in the stadium’s first sporting event Aug. 1.

Demaryius Thomas had three catches on Denver’s opening drive, including a 20-yard gain.

Panthers 28, Chiefs 16: Cam Newton made a successful return following ankle surgery, former Oregon standout Jonathan Stewart ran for two touchdowns and Carolina beat Kansas City.

Newton completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards and led a pair of touchdown drives before exiting late in the second quarter with Carolina (11) up 14-6.

Stewart ran for 26 yards on four carries and made a strong case to be the Panthers’ goalline back — if not their primary ball carrier — with scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards.

Alex Smith was 14 of 22 for 127 yards for Kansas City (1-1).

Rookie Aaron Murray’s first NFL pass resulted in a 43-yard touchdown strike, but he also had an interception.

New York trailed 26-0 early in the fourth, but the Colts couldn’t hold on.

Former Indy quarterback Curtis Painter finally got New York on the board with a 3-yard TD pass to Kellen Davis. Sixteen seconds later, Spencer Adkins recovered a Colts fumble in the end zone to make it 26-14. Michael Cox then scored on a 2-yard run with 3:59 to go, and Nassib hooked up with Corey Washington on a 6-yard TD pass with 55 seconds to go.

Andrew Luck was 12 of 18 for 89 yards for the Colts. Eli Manning was 1 of 6 for seven yards for New York (3-0).

Texans 32, Falcons 7: Jadeveon Clowney made big hits behind the line on consecutive plays and Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown pass to DeVier Posey in the Houston’s win over Atlanta.

Clowney, the top overall pick in the draft, smacked down Atlanta’s Antone Smith for a 2-yard loss and then sacked Matt Ryan on the Falcons’ second series.

Jonathan Grimes returned a blocked punt for a touchdown and Andre Hal returned an interception 64 yards for another score for the Texans (1-1), who showed significant improvement after last week’s 32-0 loss in Arizona.

Vikings 30, Cardinals 28: Teddy Bridgewater gave the giddy fans chanting his

first name a pair of go-ahead touchdown throws to cheer for in the fourth quarter, giving Minnesota a victory over Arizona.

Bridgewater floated a back-shoulder fade pass from 2 yards out to Rodney Smith with 18 seconds remaining for the lead, after the Cardinals (1-1) had gone ahead on a bizarre fourth-down score about a minute earlier.

On that final drive, Bridgewater completed six of seven passes for 77 yards for Minnesota (2-0). The firstround draft pick from Louisville, who finished 16 for 20 for 177 yards, found Allen Reisner for a short touchdown and Jarius Wright for the 2-point conversion with 7:57 left.

Steelers 19, Bills 16: Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes in less than a half of work and Pittsburgh beat Buffalo. hit Roethlisberger Antonio Brown for a 76-yard score on Pittsburgh’s second play from scrimmage and found former Oregon State star Markus Wheaton for a 16-yard strike to help the Steelers (1-1) win a preseason game for the first time in nearly two years.

Roethlisberger finished 8 of 11 for 128 yards and the two scores. Shaun Suisham’s 20yard field goal as time expired ended Pittsburgh’s fivegame losing streak in exhibitions.

EJ Manuel completed 17 of

27 passes for 148 yards and an interception while playing the entire first half for Buffalo (1-2), but the Bills’ starting offense failed to reach the end zone for the third straight game.

Packers 21, Rams 7: Aaron Rodgers and Sam Bradford each threw a touchdown pass in their preseason debuts and played into the second quarter in the Green Bay’s victory over St. Louis.

Michael Sam played in the second half and got his first sack of the preseason, dropping Matt Flynn for a 10-yard loss in the fourth quarter to force a 49-yard field goal by Mason Crosby. Sam had a tackle earlier in that series.

Jets 25, Bengals 17: Andy Dalton completed all eight of his passes and led the Bengals to a pair of touchdowns and a field goal during three impressive series before New York’s reserves rallied for a preseason victory.

It was Dalton’s first game at Paul Brown Stadium since his turnover-filled 27-10 loss to San Diego in the opening round of the playoffs. Also, his first home game since he signed a six-year contract extension.

Ravens 37, Cowboys 30: Deonte Thompson returned a kickoff 108 yards for a score after Dallas’ Tony Romo threw a touchdown pass in his first game since back surgery last season, and Joe Flacco led three scoring drives in Baltimore’s preseason victory.

The Ravens (2-0) also got a 26-yard fumble return for a touchdown when Courtney Upshaw picked up a botched handoff from Romo and stayed on his feet while Romo tried to drag him down by his jersey.

Dolphins 20, Buccaneers 14: Backup quarterback Matt Moore, a former Oregon State standout, led Miami on two touchdown drives in a preseason victory over Tampa Bay. Moore drove the Dolphins 71 yards to a touchdown in the final 1:41 of the first half, completing 6 of 8 passes including a 9-yard touchdown pass to Rishard Matthews that gave Miami a 10-7 lead over the Bucs (0-2) with 8 seconds left in the half.

LEXINGTON, Ohio — As the laps dwindled, Chris Buescher’s anxiety rose.

The 21-year-old rookie was leading the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course — gunning for his first victory — but was running out of fuel.

“I was really focusing on taking deep breaths at that point,” Buescher said about the final laps before he hung on to capture the Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200 on Saturday for his first victory.

“I found myself on every straightaway just telling myself to relax a little bit.”

Buescher took the lead on the 68th of 90 laps and sipped fuel the rest of the way to hold off Regan Smith and Brian Scott.

Smith, in particular, was waiting for Buescher to run out of gas.

“I was surprised that he made it,” he said. “I didn’t have much more for him there at the end. I was sitting there watching him, thinking at any point he was going to run out.”

Buescher, driving the Roush Fenway Racing Ford sponsored by — fittingly — Nationwide Children’s Hospital in nearby Columbus, took the lead from Brendan Gaughan and weathered a restart to hold on the rest of the way.

“We do have a fuel-pressure gauge in the car and I think it was with two (laps) to go it started flashing at me,” Buescher said. “On certain areas of the track, (the car) was just starving for fuel. I spent the last lap just kind of shaking (the car) back and forth a little bit to make sure we got all the fuel we could into the pickup. It was nerve wracking to say the least.”

In the end he had enough left over to make a celebratory run — in the wrong direction — down the home straight after the rest of the field had left the track.

“It was cool to be able to pull it off and to have plenty left over for a good burnout at the end,” Buescher said with a grin.

The victory was Buescher’s first in 30 NASCAR Nationwide Series races, also representing his eighth top-10 finish in 2014.

Chase Elliott, who finished fourth, retained his lead in the season standings by 10 points over Smith.

Alex Tagliani was fifth, followed by Justin Marks, Elliott Sadler, Dylan Kwasniewski, Trevor Bayne and Dakoda Armstrong.

Sauter edges Crafton for win in Truck Series BROOKLYN, Mich. — Johnny Sauter won the NASCAR Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday, holding off Matt Crafton by about a half-second.

Sauter also took over the points lead. Previous leader Ryan Blaney finished 21st after winning the pole.

Sauter won for the first time this season, and it was the sixth top-five finish for Crafton.

Crafton gave up the lead with a late pit stop but was still within striking distance when Sauter held him off in the final stretch.

Ron Hornaday Jr. finished third, followed by Tayler Malsam and Kyle Busch.

Joey Logano was second in qualifying but finished 18th.

Rain hampers final runs in NHRA competition BRAINERD, Minn. — Top Fuel driver Morgan Lucas won for the third time in his career at Brainerd International Raceway on Sunday to close the rainplagued Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals.

Lucas was on and off the throttle of his 10,000-horsepower dragster as the engine erupted in flames when it crossed the finish line just in front of series points leader Doug Kalitta’s charging dragster. Both machines lost traction early in the final round, but Lucas was able to guide his machine to his 10th career victory.

The Funny Car final between John Force and Ron Capps, and the Pro Stock semifinals and final were postponed due to darkness and inclement weather following a day filled with multiple rain delays.

Racing in those categories will be completed during designated qualifying rounds at the U.S. Nationals on Aug. 27-Sept. 1 in Clermont, Indiana.

Rose looks good for national team CHICAGO (AP) — Derrick Rose heard the cheers and showed some of his old fellow explosiveness, Chicago product Anthony Davis scored 20 points, and the U.S. beat Brazil 95-78 on Saturday night in a tuneup for the World Cup of Basketball.

With fans roaring for Rose all night, the Chicago Bulls point guard flashed some of his MVP moves. He also seemed happy to defer to his teammates in his first appearance at the United Center since his latest season-ending knee injury, finishing with seven points.

Davis, who like Rose grew up on Chicago’s South Side, dominated down the stretch, and the U.S. pulled away after Brazil kept it close for three quarters.

With a five-point lead going into the fourth, the U.S. went on a 14-2 run to break open a 68-63 game.

Klay Thompson nailed a 3 to start it, and Davis took over.

He hit two free throws and blocked a shot by Larry Taylor, leading to a threepoint play for James Harden.

Davis then threw down an alley-oop dunk to make it a 15-point game, and after Leandro Barbosa scored for Brazil, he nailed a jumper.

Harden (18 points) finished the run with two free throws, making it 82-65.

Tiago Splitter scored 16 for Brazil.

Fans started chanting, “We want Rose!” with their favorite player watching from the sideline as the U.S. pulled away. They got their wish when he checked back in with 5:20 left and let out yet

another loud roar.

That’s how it was all night for Rose.

Fans showed up in Bulls No. 1 jerseys — he’s No. 6 for the U.S. They gave him a deafening ovation and chanted “MVP! MVP!” during the introductions and went wild again as he grabbed the microphone for a heartfelt address to the crowd before the opening tip.

He referenced the violence in Chicago and said this game was “huge for the city.”

The U.S. might not have as much star power as it has in the past, particularly with MVP Kevin Durant and others withdrawing and Paul George suffering a gruesome leg injury. Even so, the U.S. was looking good with a 2915 lead through the first quarter.

Davis wowed the crowd with some hard dunks while scoring eight in the opening period. Stephen Curry hit all three of his shots and had seven in the quarter.

Rose really didn’t go hard to the rim until early in the second, when he beat Raul Neto with a crossover and got fouled. He made 1 of 2 free throws as the crowd chanted “MVP! MVP!” Moments later, he blew a wide-open tomahawk dunk, sending a groan through the arena, and he also headed to the locker room with a cut near his left 1 eye with about 5 ⁄2 minutes left in the half.

Brazil, meanwhile got within 35-33 on a basket by Splitter with 4:27 left. But the U.S. led 45-37 at the half after Rose raced up the court for a floater at the buzzer to the crowd’s delight after two free throws by Nene.

BRIDGE In his “Comic Dictionary,” Evan Esar defined a zoo as an excellent place to study the habits of human beings.

This week, we are going to study some of the bad habits of bridge players and try to cure them.

First, we will start with declarer play. South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads a fourthhighest heart four and East plays his eight?

South starts with six top tricks: two

spades, two hearts (given the first trick) and two diamonds. He must work on clubs to get the extra winners.

However, the defender with the club ace will not take the first round of the suit, but the second. Then South will need a dummy entry to get to the three club tricks. And what is the only entry?

It has to be in hearts. But if South makes the habitual play at trick one of winning cheaply with his heart jack, he won’t see the dummy again.

South must take the first trick with his heart ace. Then, after driving out the club ace and winning East’s probable spade-jack shift, South can lead a low heart to force an entry to the dummy.

Get into the habit of playing slowly at trick one.

Lastly, how would East know to take the second, not third, round of clubs?

West gives his partner a count signal in clubs.

Here, with an odd number, he plays his lowest club first. Alternatively, if he had a doubleton club, he would play high-low.

Note that if East ducks two clubs, South can shift to spades and take three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2014 Continue your pursuit for knowledge and enlightenment. The more you learn, the greater will be the opportunities for a lucrative and rewarding career. Your intelligence and sociable nature will make you a genuine asset to any venture you undertake. Think big and follow your dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — This is a particularly good time for collaborations or partnerships. You will get a helping hand from an unexpected source, and will move much closer to achieving a longterm goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Keep your personal life out of your workplace. If your domestic affairs are dominating your thoughts, your productivity will suffer and career woes are likely to develop.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Make a move toward greater independence. A business of your own, no matter how small in the beginning, will give you an outlet for your creative talent that will prove very lucrative.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t let your head rule your heart. Remember to share your feelings with those you care about.

The response you get will put you at ease and encourage a closer bond.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your fight for what is right will continue. If you see someone treated unfairly, take a stand. You will gain respect, support and an invitation to work collectively toward a worthy cause.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A business acquaintance will need a helping hand. The assistance you offer will be appreciated and rewarded, but make sure you take time out to nurture your own needs, as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Getting out of the house to attend an inspirational or stimulating event will allow you to meet new people and form lasting friendships. A joint venture looks promising.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You may feel laden with responsibilities. Strive for balance between your work and personal duties. Find a calm place where you can relax and let your imagination entertain you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You have a remarkable capacity for knowledge. Keep well-informed by participating in intellectually oriented groups. By expanding your expertise, you can make great strides toward your future goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t be nonchalant about your achievements. Speak up and make sure that your accomplishments are noticed. Self-promotion is necessary to let others know what you have to offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s best to deal with personal matters on your own. Don’t let misunderstandings fester. Be the first to offer a compromise.

Professionalism will speak volumes about your ability to lead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You can get a lot accomplished if you tackle your tasks head-on.

Find a quiet place conducive to finishing what you start. Collaborative efforts will not be in your best interest.
