NORTH BEND — For many local residents, chronic pain is debilitating. Whether it stems from disease, surgery or injury, it is often managed with pain medications, which may cause health issues of their own. Massage therapist Sara Hicks and physical therapist Juliette Hyatt hoped to change people’s behavior so they didn’t have to rely on medications through a class they held recently. “Nonpharmaceutical Chronic Pain Relief,” held from noon to 2 p.m. Thursday in the Community Health Education Center, had about 20 attendees. “I love the classes,” said Nan Crouse, who has attended several of the offerings at the CHEC. “They have really helped a lot.” The pain class came after successful turnouts from others, such as “The Fire Within,” which taught how to eliminate inflammatory foods from the diet.
Upcoming classes at the Community Health Education Center, 3950 Sherman Ave., North Bend: “The Fire Within,” 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 16. “Healing Through Food,” 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 30. “Non-Pharmaceutical Chronic Pain Relief,” 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 30. For more information on classes, visit www.bayareahospital.org/calendar_events. aspx or call 541-269-8076.
Focus of the chronic pain class centered on breathing techniques, hydration and daily activity. It also discussed alternatives to medications, such as infrared photo energy, yoga, relaxation techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, massage, acupuncture/accupressure and physical and occupational therapy. “This is movement medicine,” Hicks said.

New directive threatens state’s Medicaid reform PORTLAND (AP) — Officials responsible for implementing ambitious changes to the Oregon Health Plan are worried a new federal directive could undo the state’s Medicaid reform. The directive is outlined in a letter sent to the state this month by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Officials say the new rules could increase costs and force the state to return hundreds of millions of dollars received from the government, The federal Oregonian reported Thursday. At issue is the state’s system for distributing money to the 15 regional coordinated care organizations under the reforms. Oregon’s sweeping reforms
were supposed to create the flexibility to invest in creative programs and services to improve health and reduce costs. Rather than tracking individual procedures and paying a doctor for each service performed, the state gives regional coordinated care organizations a budget of Medicaid funds. For example, using the budget, an organization could buy an air conditioner for an elderly woman with congestive heart failure, sparing the woman a costly trip to a hospital emergency room in hot weather. The model has been championed by Gov. John Kitzhaber, a SEE MEDICAID | A8
Tax refunds may get hit due to health law credits BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Taxes? Who wants to think about taxes around Labor Day? But if you count on your tax refund and you’re one of the millions getting tax credits to help pay health under premiums insurance President Barack Obama’s law, it’s not too early. Here’s why: If your income for
2014 is going to be higher than you estimated when you applied for health insurance, then complex connections between the health law and taxes can reduce or even eliminate your tax refund next year. Maybe you’re collecting more commissions in an improving economy. Or your spouse got a better job. It could trigger an unwelcome surprise. The danger is that as your income grows, you don’t qualify for as much
of a tax credit. Any difference will come out of your tax refund, unless you have promptly reported the changes. Nearly 7 million households have gotten health insurance tax credits, and major tax preparation companies say most of those consumers appear to be unaware of the risk. “More than a third of tax credit recipients will owe some money back, and (that) can lead to some pretty hefty repayment liabilities,”
said George Brandes, vice president for health care programs at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. Two basic statistics bracket the potential exposure: The average tax credit for subsidized coverage on the new health insurance exchanges is $264 a month,or $3,168 for a full 12 months. The average tax refund is about $2,690. Having to pay back even as little as 10 percent of your tax credit can
reduce your refund by several hundred dollars. Tax giant H&R Block says consumers whose incomes grew as the year went on should act now and contact HealthCare.gov or their state insurance exchange to update their accounts. They will pay higher health insurance premiums for the rest of this year, but they can avoid financial SEE REFUNDS | A8
Be well and fish on! Unique program gives cancer survivors a chance to forget about life for a while and just enjoy nature

Logging BY GAIL ELBER For The World
In the early 20th century, timber fueled the South Coast’s development. Independent logging operations and corporate ventures harvested from private and public lands, powering the growth of towns and the building of roads, rails and the Port of Coos Bay. In 1952, 743 million board feet were harvested in Coos County and 640 million in Curry County. The industry always fluctuated; Coos County’s harvest dropped to 380 million board feet in 1968, rebounding to 686 million in 1973. But in the 1980s, a national recession was followed by closure of public lands to logging to protect endangered species. Coos County’s harvest sank to 241 million board feet in 1998, and languished at 275 million in 2011. Mill jobs declined along with logging
jobs. Multinational corporations took their mills to other regions rather than retooling for the smaller timber available on private lands, and the surviving mills adopted new technologies requiring fewer employees. Nevertheless, forest jobs still account for 8.8 percent of employment in Coos County and the industry constitutes 15 percent of the county’s economic base, with the figures comparable in Curry County. Six sawmills and a plywood mill are alive and well, plus another sawmill and plywood plant in Curry County. Although we no longer have a pulp mill, the vast chip terminals on Coos Bay still send shiploads of chips to Japan. With 94 percent of Coos County and 97 percent of Curry County under forest, and with markets for biomass energy and new timber building materials emerging, we’re definitely not out of the woods. In a good way.

Wildlife officials confirm economic position of coast’s fishing industry BY STEVE LINDSLEY The World
The state’s wildlife chief says fisheries are one of the top economic drivers on the Oregon Coast. “One of the most key things that make the Oregon coast the Oregon coast are fisheries,” Roy Elicker, director of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife told a group gathered for an economic conference in Florence last week. “The ocean fishery and recreational fishery both ... you can look at them individually and together. In the coastal counties up to 20 percent of the total net earnings in those counties come from fisheries ... commercial fisheries, in particular.” Elicker made his remarks during the Oregon Coast Economic Summit Wednesday and Thursday at the Three Rivers Casino Event Center in Florence. U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden participated in panel discussions, and Reps. Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader and Suzanne Bonamici spoke both days.
During a panel discussion called “Ocean and Natural Resource Policy Implementation: Challenges and Opportunities,” Elicker said fisheries and tourism rule on the coast, among the top economic industries. “That’s how big (fisheries) are,” he continued. “It’s one of the top two economic drivers of this area we refer to as the Oregon coast. It provides, perhaps, 15,000 to 20,000 jobs. Now, that’s a total statewide.” He said, as expected, most of those fishing jobs are on the Oregon coast, and there are also related industries. “We have seafood processors in Brookings, Coos Bay, Newport, Port Orford and Astoria,” Elicker ticked off. “When you get right down to it, the Oregon coast has been successful — more so than our neighbors to the north and to the south, Washington and California — in helping to grow this commercial fishery industry.” There are several reasons for that. “First of all, we don’t have
the population pressures on our coast that Washington and California do,” he said. “So, we have room for commercial fisheries — fleets, processing centers — those are the kind of things that have been the backbone of the Oregon coast for many decades. But, that’s really true now, thanks to the increased demand for the quality seafood that we produce off our coast.” He credited processing facilities as the anchors of the fishing industry. “The collaborative relationship that ODF&W, and it’s Marine Program have built with, particularly, with the commercial fishing industry, but also with the recreational and sport fishing industry, has been huge,” Elicker said. “I’m very proud of that relationship.” Elicker said Oregon’s strong fisheries are pink shrimp, crab, tuna, groundfish trawling and whiting. He said the top two, pink shrimp and crab, are not regulated by the federal government. “They’re regulated by the state of Oregon,” he said.

When police act like military Libertarians warned for years that government is force, that government always grows and that America’s police have become too much like an occupying army. We get accused of being paranoid, but we look less paranoid after heavily armed police in Ferguson, Missouri, tear gassed peaceful protesters, arrested journalists and stopped some journalists from entering the town. One week before the rioting began, Fox News aired my documentary on the militarization of law enforcement, “Policing America.” That show didn’t stop some left-wing commentators from making the bizarre claim that libertarians like me have been silent about Ferguson. I can’t force them to read my columns, or Sen. Rand Paul’s (R, Ken.) article titled “We Must Demilitarize the Police” or libertarian Rep. Justin Amash’s (R, Mich.) condemnation of the police for “escalating” tensions with “military equipment.” Although it was government police and government-supplied military equipment that provoked the conflict (plus property-rightsviolating looters), leftists still found ways to blame libertarians and advocates of private gun ownership. Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Tom Toles depicted a sarcastic TV viewer watching news JOHN from Ferguson and sniping STOSSEL that “I’m sure the NRA has an interesting solution for Columnist this” — as if overzealous police are the fault of people who believe in individuals’ right to defend themselves. Other pro-big-government commentators just questioned the sincerity of libertarians, saying that if we were in power, we would become authoritarians and defend the police. It’s true that once people are in power, they often grow fond of authority and less interested in liberty. But I don’t see why this is an argument against libertarians — who warn about this problem all the time — instead of an argument against all those who are actually in power and shameless about wielding that power. But since leftists are so easily confused, and since there’s plenty of blame to go around, let’s list who’s to blame for what: ■ The police do not have the right to execute suspects, unless there is no other way of stopping them and they pose an immediate threat to the safety of others. ■ Michael Brown, assuming current interpretations of security footage are correct, robbed and bullied a store clerk right before he was killed by police. That may well mean he was violent and dangerous, but even violent people should be brought to trial, not gunned down. ■ Individual cops may feel threatened — and may be threatened in the course of doing their jobs — but they still do not have the right to use more force than is necessary. Too often, panicked or angry cops pump multiple rounds into already-wounded suspects, as appears to have happened to Michael Brown. ■ Yes, centuries of white people abusing the civil liberties of blacks have left many blacks resentful of police power, and in recent years, white police officers have shot, on average,two young black men every week. But none of that justifies violence and looting like that which followed Michael Brown’s death. Criminals who ransack stores are always wrong to violate the rights of innocent third parties. ■ Peaceful protesters should not be lumped in with looters and subject to curfews by police. Most looters are opportunists, not people making a political statement. Police and angry citizens alike have a duty to distinguish between protesters and criminals. ■ The Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and opportunistic politicians all pushed the idea of heavily arming local cops, even in places more rural than Ferguson. “Why would cops wear camouflage gear against a terrain patterned by convenience stores and beauty parlors?” wonders the Cato Institute’s Walter Olson. He notes that a man identifying himself as a veteran from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division reacted to video of police in Ferguson by tweeting, “We rolled lighter than that in an actual war zone.” If authorities arm cops like soldiers, they may begin to think like soldiers — and see the public as the enemy. That makes violent confrontations more likely. John Stossel is host of “Stossel” on the Fox Business Network. He’s the author of “No They Can’t: Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed.”

Letters to the Editor Global LNG view prompts caution Information at the International Energy Agency of Worldwide Natural Gas Producers and Exporters list countries that produce natural gas, from Saudi Arabia to Norway, Qatar, Canada, Iran and Russia. Africa, Australia and Malaysia export gas to Europe and Asia. China is developing natural gas reserves and plans to be self-sufficient by 2020. Currently, the U.S. leads in production and exports 50 percent of domestic natural gas. U.S. industry increasingly demands natural gas to reduce reliance on oil, coal and aging nuclear power plants, and is dependent on natural gas storage to keep prices low for U.S. consumers. Increasing exports results in rising natural gas prices for U.S. consumers. Producers profit by exporting natural gas to China, Japan and Europe for the benefit of different groups. Elected governments award natural gas leases to bidders. Governments who lease to companies with the best environmental, social and safety record share costs and profits with its people. Good governance invests gas profits to secure sustainable physical and social infrastructure for the whole population and preserves scenic areas to attract tourism and investments.
Governments who lease to investor-company highest bidders burden towns and individuals with natural gas production, from loss of potable water from hydraulic fracturing to loss of private property value from pipelines enforced by eminent domain. Investor-company profits taxed by local governments and controlled by appointed boards benefit special agency groups, but most of the population could wait for any direct benefits. World demand drops as more countries become energy self-sufficient, and promised benefits disappear without sustainable investments. Investor-companies cut their losses and abandon facilities as world exports of natural gas decline. Data shows a 3 percent drop in natural gas demand since 2012, and recession is forecast in Europe. Local governments approving natural gas exports to Asia depend on tax gains and promised benefits. Global production, export and import of natural gas keeps changing, and there is no assurance of decades of sustainable profits. AJ Velinty Florence
What she said not what he thought This is in response to an opinion piece in The World’s Aug. 12
paper submitted by Mr. Wim DeVriend regarding an article I wrote discussing the opposition to LNG and past big industries who have attempted to build here. Ordinarily, I would not respond to someone’s opposing comment on an article I submitted, since I’m thankful we can all express our opinions, and I respect the ideas of all citizens. However, when someone claims I said something I did not say, I feel I must set the record straight, since he used my name. The statement in question is “Coos Bay’s glorious industrial future has been blocked by selfish, covetous leftists who hate the free enterprise system.” Thankfully, he didn’t put that part in quotes but did state, “Or so she says, with more untruths than space may allow me to identify.” Nowhere in my article did I state what Mr. DeVriend claims I did in the afore mentioned quote. He also seems to have missed my statement at the start of my article that “What I have to say is mere speculation.” I will admit that my opinions are strictly based on articles in The World and the opinions expressed by those on both sides of an issue that were printed down through the years. Mr. DeVriend states that “The truth is that the ‘naysayers’ were never the ones that blocked the industries promoted by the JOB Messiahs. Every single one
flopped for ... the incompetence of the Job Messiahs themselves.” The “JOB Messiahs”, he states, are “the ‘economic development’ activists at the Port, the chamber, SCDC, BS Oregon, etc.” If he has proof of this, I would welcome his writing an article with information backing up his statement. I’m open to the other side of the story. Perhaps he can change my mind. Lois Buerer Bandon

Where is the GOP heir apparent? The party of the next guy has no next guy. For more than two generations, the Republican presidential nominating process has had an immutable internal logic to it: The next guy in line gets the nomination. That’s how every Republican president of the post-Eisenhower era has won his party’s nomination and how just about every GOP presidential nominee since Thomas E. Dewey (1944 and 1948) got to the top of the ticket. It’s certainly how Barack Obama’s two opponents, Sen. John McCain and former Gov. Mitt Romney, were nominated. But just as the Republican Party is going through one of its periodic struggles for identity — earlier such battles were fought in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1980 and 1992 — the party finds itself without a “next guy.” The only political figure with possible claims to the title is Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the 2012 vice presidential nominee. But he is more interested in becoming chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee and realizing his dream, perhaps as difficult to attain as winning a presidential nomination, of rewriting the federal tax code. Ryan is by far the most highly regarded Republican in the House, which today is the only redoubt of the party’s power in the capital. He is more respected among, and works more effortlessly with, Republicans on Capitol Hill than those in national circles. He’s keeping his options open, as so many political figures do at this stage of the election cycle, but knowledgeable Republicans do not consider him even a faint posas a presidential sibility contender. In ordinary times, former Gov.
Jeb Bush of Florida might be considered the next guy up, but his prospects are complicated by the last guy up ( t w i c e r e m o v e d ) , DAVID which was his SHRIBMAN brother, a twoterm president Columnist who left the White House with low approval ratings and who remains a rhetorical punching bag not only for Democrats, who blame him for the messes in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also for Republicans, who consider him a spendthrift too eager to bail out big companies. The result is that there are no next guys — natural, plausible, believable Republican presidential candidates with a touch of the fairy dust of inevitability about them. There are, instead, a lot of natural, plausible, believable vice presidential candidates — a remarkable bench with no apparent leader. That is the natural order of things in the Democratic Party, which has no tradition of political primogeniture and has selected nominees such as Jimmy Carter, who in 1975 was nobody’s idea of the next guy, or even as any guy. And the irony is that in this campaign where the Republicans have no next guy, the Democrats have one, proving that the term “next guy” is gender neutral. She is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and to make things even more bizarre, she was once a Goldwater Girl. That is not to say that there are no Republicans maneuvering for advantage in a nomination race that is probably about three
months from beginning in earnest. The three leading ones are senators: Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida. That alone is a departure from the Republican norm,which tends to favor governors (Alf Landon, Thomas Dewey, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush). That is natural for a business-oriented party that reveres competence in executive management and that, for a generation at least, has tried to devolve power away from the federal government to the states. For that reason, the Republicans have tended to choose nominees with that sort of executive profile or with management experience in other spheres (Herbert Hoover and Wendell Willkie in business, Eisenhower in the military, George H.W. Bush in diplomacy and intelligence) and not political figures rooted in the Senate. Indeed, no Republican senator since Warren Harding has become president, and only three — Barry Goldwater, Robert J. Dole and McCain — have won the GOP nomination in modern times. It is remarkable to note that, besides them, the only other senators to make plausible runs for president in the GOP since 1944 were Howard H. Baker Jr. of Tennessee, Richard G. Lugar of Indiana and Fred Thompson of Tennessee. None of them broke 6 percent in the New Hampshire primary except for Baker, who withdrew right after that primary in 1980. Republican senators just don’t ordinarily run for president, which is why the current crop of contenders is so remarkable. By the same token, hardly anyone can conceive of Cruz, Paul or Rubio digging in for multiterm careers in the Senate, which each of them seems to consider a step-
ping stone to something else. It is, of course,always possible that one of them will emerge as a potential Senate majority leader or chairman of an important committee like Foreign Relations or Finance, but that is a stretch — kind of like imagining John F. Kennedy with gray hair standing at the majority leader’s desk calling for a quorum call in a half-empty Senate chamber. Indeed, this Republican presidential triumvirate is a matter of wonder and conjecture on Capitol Hill. The three comprise a new wave, a different kind of Republican senator, and Republican congressional insiders don’t know quite what to make of them. Meanwhile, there is a band of Republican governors, but all of them seem primed for brief presidential runs and then Cabinet positions if a Republican were to win the White House in 2016. Among them are Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Mike Pence of Indiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who is in a tight race for re-election and could always run again for governor in 2018. Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey also are toying with presidential campaigns, but both are big personalities difficult to imagine in a Cabinet meeting. No rule of politics is immutable — except one. Once Cruz or Pence or one of the others wins the nomination, stands before a national nominating convention and, amid confetti and cheers, sets out to fight a general-election campaign, he becomes a giant, with the potential of winning the White House. It will happen again in 2016. It always does.

State Baby’s adoption will leave hole in grandmother’s heart DEAR ABBY: My teenaged daughter will be giving birth soon, and she has decided to place her baby for adoption. I have told her that whatever she decides, I will support her decision. Here is the difficult part: This will still be my biological grandchild. When this beautiful child is lovingly handed over to the adoptive parents, I will be losing a grandchild. I am already DEAR in mourning. Are there o t h e r grandparents out there who are going — or have gone — through JEANNE and PHILLIPS this, how are they coping? I already see a therapist, but I would still like to know how others are coping. — UN-GRANDPARENT IN OHIO DEAR UN-GRANDPARENT: I wish you had told me more about the kind of adoption your daughter has chosen for her baby. If it is an open adoption in which she will be kept informed about the child’s milestones and progress, ask the adoptive couple if they would welcome you as an “extra” grandparent for the child. If I hear from others who have gone through this process, I will let you know, because I’m sure they will write to help you through your heartache. DEAR ABBY: I am being married to the man of my dreams next month. “Jon” and I love each other and are excited to celebrate our life as husband and wife together with our families and friends. I have a 6-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and after talking to her, she told me she would like to walk me down the aisle instead of being our flower girl. I love the idea, and so does Jon. I will have to talk to my dad about it, because I know he was looking forward to it although we do NOT have a close relationship. I have lived on my own since I was 17. How do I communicate to him in an appropriate way that my daughter, who has been my family for the past six years, will walk me down the aisle and not him? — CONFUSED BRIDE-TO-BE DEAR CONFUSED: Because you aren’t close to your father, this may not come as a shock to him. However, if he was asked to walk you down the aisle, he may be very hurt and it could cause a rift. Be as diplomatic as possible when you break the news. Start by saying, “I was talking about the wedding with little ‘Jennifer,’ and she came up with an idea Jon and I think is adorable. Instead of being our flower girl, she wants to walk me down the aisle. We feel it would bring our little family even closer together. I hope you don’t mind....” DEAR ABBY: My husband has a low-paying job and I am trying to see that he gets a better one, but each step I take he regards as pestering him. This has driven us apart from each other. It really hurts me because we are now like strangers living together. What do I do? — SAD WIFE IN ABUJA, NIGERIA DEAR SAD WIFE: Change tactics. What you consider helpful encouragement may be regarded by your husband as constant nagging about a sore subject. Tell him you love him, didn’t mean to pressure him — and if you see some ads seeking men with his skills that offer a higher salary, let him know about them. That’s what I would do.

Biologists plan to recollar wandering Oregon wolf MEDFORD (AP) — Biologists plan to recapture and recollar OR-7, Oregon’s famous wandering wolf that is now a settled father of pups. The plan calls for recapturing the male wolf along with his mate and three pups to keep tracking Western Oregon’s only known wolf family as it works its way toward pack status, The Medford Mail Tribune reported Sunday. OR-7 set off in search of a mate in September 2011, covering thousands of meandering miles from his birthplace in northeastern to Northern Oregon California before settling in southwest Oregon. The wolf gained worldwide fame as his GPS tracking collar showed his wanderings across mountains, deserts and highways.
A federal biologist plans to set foot-hold snares in the area of eastern Jackson County in hopes of capturing at least one of the animals so it can be fitted with a GPStransmitting collar similar to the one used to track OR-7’s 3,000-mile journey that led him here. “It’s kind of the luck of the draw in who you can get,” says John Stephenson, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist tracking OR-7 from his Bend office. “It will probably end up one of the pups because they’re the most curious.” State and federal biologists have active GPS collars on 12 wolves, and 28 have been collared in Oregon since 2009, one year after the first known wolf migrated from Idaho into Oregon, to Michelle according Dennehy, spokeswoman for
the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Wolf Program. Oregon updates its wolf population data at the end of December, and last year’s end-of-the-year count showed 64 known wolves, Dennehy said. Oregon has eight known packs, as well as individual wolves and a new group of last discovered wolves month 30 miles north of Enterprise, Dennehy added. Collared animals are in all but two packs and the newly discovered group, she said. “Having at least one per pack really helps with monitoring,” Dennehy says. “Recollaring OR-7 will help track this group of wolves.” Not only are the devices used for locating and tracking the packs, they can also help biologists determine breeding success.
Small actions can reduce wildfire risks SEATTLE (AP) — As wildfires burn homes and thousands of square miles across the West, fire experts say simple actions like clearing brush around a home or removing pine needles from decks could make the difference in whether a house survives or burns to the ground. Fire science research over the last decade has produced strategies that can help reduce a home’s chances of igniting, and fire officials are trying to spread the word in fire-prone areas that these little things are hugely important. “It hard to provide 100 percent guarantee on anything, but there are a number of things homeowners can do — and a lot of them are small but also important,” said Steve Quarles, a senior scientist with the nonprofit Insurance Florida-based Institute for Business & Home Safety. Whether a home makes it through a fire often depends on what is or is not in the zone surrounding it, known as defensible space, as well as the design and materials used in home construction, Quarles said. Property owners can reduce their risk of wildfire damage by choosing metal roofs over wood shake roofs, for example, keeping flammable materials such as firewood piles away from the home, spacing trees farther apart and by clearing brush from nearby roads. Increasingly, homeowners and communities are seeing the benefits of such strategies, and they’re joining voluntary programs such as the National Fire Association’s Protection Firewise Communities. “Interest is growing as people understand that they actually have a role to play,” said Lucian Deaton, senior program manager for Firewise, which is partly paid for by the U.S. Forest Service. More than 1,000 communities in 41 states are recognized as “firewise” because they’re taking steps to prepare their homes from wildfire risks. Still, that represents a small fraction of the estimated 72,000 communities located in wildfire-prone areas. Experts say that’s because some people don’t fully understand wildfire risks, or they don’t think it will happen to them. Others only live
part-time in second homes in fire country, while some are independent and don’t want more regulations or intrusion. Some governments, however, are incorporating wildfire-prevention strategies into building codes, including the state of California, Washoe County, Nevada, Flagstaff, Arizona, and Yakima County, Washington. But such regulations can be controversial, so voluntary measures are often seen as more effective in getting people involved in preparing for potential wildfires. In Washington, wildfires so far have destroyed more than 300 homes, scorched nearly 600 square miles and cost more than $160 million in firefighting costs. The cost of fighting just one fire — the largest burning in north-central Washington — has already surpassed the state’s $19 million annual budget for fire suppression, said Mary Verner, deputy supervisor for resource protection and administration with the Department of Natural Resources. Fire suppression for that fire is estimated at $87 million, which will be split by local, state and federal agencies. In July, as that wildfire raged near their forested home south of Okanogan, Peggy and Noble Kelly fled and hoped for the best. Returning to assess the damage two days later, the couple was relieved but not surprised to find that their home and outbuildings had been spared. Flames burned within 50 feet of their home. The couple credited firefighters, luck and proactive steps they had taken to reduce wildfire risk: clearing brush, thinning trees, keeping their grass low, constructing a metal roof and choosing a rock garden rather than other vegetation near their deck. The fire was so intense that some homes probably wouldn’t have been spared, Peggy Kelly said, but being proactive helped “save our home. The work we had done allowed firefighters to defend our place from the fire. “If I protect my place, my neighbors’ place is also protected,” said Kelly, whose Chiliwist Valley community joined the Firewise program last year. “And if he protects his, eventually the whole community may be protected.”
New committee to examine rules around oil by rail STATE D I G E S T SALEM (AP) — Oregon has created a new committee to clarify the state’s rules around rail transport of hazardous materials, including crude oil. State officials hope to figmuch out how ure information they can legally require railways to disclose. Last month, Gov. John Kitzhaber released a review of oil train safety that called for an increase in state rail inspectors, more funding for training, and improved reporting and transparency. It also found the Oregon of Department Transportation should update rules to ensure that first responders have the information they need in order to respond appropriately. The review was ordered following an increase in the amount of crude oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota that’s being transported in Oregon. The committee’s first meeting is Tuesday; it’s open to the public.
Pink Martini band member found dead PORTLAND (AP) — Police say the longtime percussionist for Portland, band Pink Martini has been found dead. A police spokesman said Friday that the Oregon State medical examiner’s office has determined that 43-year-old Derek Rieth died of a self-
inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The death has been ruled a suicide. Officers found Rieth’s body Wednesday night when they conducted a welfare check on behalf of someone who was concerned after not hearing from him for several hours. Sgt. Pete Simpson says a shotgun was found and taken as evidence. The Oregonian reports that Rieth was a founding member of Pink Martini, playing everything from bongos to finger cymbals.
Police looking for missing man — (AP) GRESHAM Gresham Police are asking the public to help locate a missing man who walked

Nation Wildfire burns near Gold Rush-era boomtown WEAVERVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Crews working in steep terrain were building containment lines around a wildfire that chased people from about 200 homes near the California Gold Rushera boomtown of Weaverville. CalFire spokeswoman Cris Hartman said early Monday that the fire was 25 percent contained. Firefighters worked through the night to keep the flames from spreading. The fire has burned a little more than 1 square mile, or 650 acres, of timber and brush about 2 miles west of town. “The flames laid pretty low last night and they were able to make some good progress,” Hartman said. Officials said daylight will bring increased risks as gusty winds and dry conditions return. The fire, sparked Sunday afternoon near Highway 299, damaged one structure, likely a barn or a large outbuilding, Hartman said. About 400 firefighters were battling the blaze. Fire officials said a shelter for evacuees was being moved later in the day Weaverville from Elementary School to a Baptist church. KRCR-TV reported the fire temporarily forced the closure of the highway, and school was canceled for Monday. Weaverville is at the base of the Trinity Alps Wilderness area in Trinity County. The Gold Rush-era boomtown is on the National Register of Historic Places.

NAPA, Calif.

American held in Syria freed after nearly 2 years WASHINGTON (AP) — As the U.S. mourned an American journalist beheaded by Islamic militants, the nation found something of a reprieve with the release of another freelance reporter who had been held hostage for nearly two years by an alQaida-linked group in Syria. Peter Theo Curtis, who wrote under the byline Theo Padnos, was freed Sunday, offering consolation to U.S. officials, a journalism community and family members deeply unnerved by the grisly video of James Foley’s beheading in a desolate desert landscape. Curtis’ release appeared to have been aided by the oil-rich nation of Qatar, which said Sunday that it had “exerted relentless efforts” to win the American’s freedom. Qatar is a leading supporter of the Syrian rebels fighting to oust President Bashar Assad and has been involved in mediating past hostage releases. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Curtis had been held by Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida-linked militant group fighting Assad’s government. Curtis was not believed to be among the hostages held by the Islamic State group that killed Foley. Islamic

CHICAGO (AP) — Pediatricians have a new prescription for schools: later start times for teens. Delaying the start of the school day until at least 8:30 a.m. would help curb their lack of sleep, which has been linked with poor health, bad grades, car crashes and other problems, the American Academy of Pediatrics says in a new policy. The influential group says teens are especially at risk; for them, “chronic sleep loss has increasingly become the norm.” Studies have found that most U.S. students in middle school and high school don’t get the recommended amount of sleep — 81⁄2 to 91⁄2 hours on school nights; and that most high school seniors get an average of less than seven hours.
Shooter injured self, no others on Va. base FORT LEE, Va.

The Army says in a news release that early reports indicate she fired one shot Monday morning at Fort Lee. The base temporarily went on lockdown. Officials say she was inside a four-story building that is the headquarters for the Army’s Combined Arms Support Command. Officials say the shooter was taken to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center and her condition is not known. VCU confirms that it received a patient but did not give other details.

But the leaders of the Aquinnah Wampanoags, the federally recognized American Indian tribe whose ancestors first inhabited the island, envision a new destination. They’ve proposed transforming an unfinished tribal community center a few miles inland into a highstakes bingo and poker hall filled with electronic betting machines. The idea horrifies some long-term visitors, residents and even tribal members, who see it as incongruous with the quaint towns and soft sand beaches that have made the island off Cape Cod a preferred getaway for celebrities and other wealthy elites, including President Barack Obama and his family.
State was formally disavowed by al-Qaida earlier this year after being deemed too brutal. Curtis’ release was likely to renew questions about the intentions of different militant groups in Syria and Iraq and how the U.S. should deal with hostage takers. President Barack Obama was briefed on the release Sunday morning as he wrapped up a vacation in Massachusetts, “The president shares in the joy and relief that we all feel now that Theo is out of Syria and safe,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “But we continue to hold in our thoughts and prayers the Americans who remain in captivity in Syria, Gov’t warns retailers and we will continue to use all about hacking of the tools at our disposal to WASHINGTON (AP) — see that the remaining More than 1,000 U.S. retailAmerican hostages are freed.” ers could be infected with malicious software lurking in their cash register computers, allowing hackers to steal customer financial data, the Coos Bay Division Security Homeland Department said Friday.

World Israeli premier tries to link Hamas to extremist group JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s prime minister is trying to capitalize on the gruesome video of an American journalist’s beheading by the Islamic State extremist group, saying Hamas is an equally vicious foe as he tries to rally international support in Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip. But the comparisons between Hamas and Islamic State are being met with reservations by Israel’s allies and enemies alike. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu always has prided himself on his ability to attract media attention. Netanyahu, who grew up in the U.S. and speaks fluent English, often uses catchy quips, props or visual aids in public speeches or briefings to journalists.
Extremist group not an ‘Islamic State’ CAIRO (AP) — The top Islamic authority in Egypt, revered by many Muslims worldwide, launched an Internet-based campaign Sunday challenging an extremist group in Syria and Iraq by saying it should not be called an “Islamic State.” The campaign by the Dar el-Ifta, the top authority that advises Muslims on spiritual and life issues, adds to the war of words by Muslim leaders across the world targeting the Islamic State group, which controls wide swaths of Iraq and Syria. Its violent attacks, including mass shootings, destroying Shiite shrines, tarminorities and geting including beheadings American journalist James Foley, have shocked Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Iraq: Militias must follow state BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s prime minister-designate called on the country’s numerous Shiite militias and tribes to come under government control and stop acting independently on Monday, as violence across the country killed at least 43 people in areas where the Muslim sect dominates. The comments by Haider al-Abadi came at his first press

Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s National Security Council, told reporters that the column of 10 tanks, two armored vehicles and two trucks crossed the border near Shcherbak and that the nearby city of Novoazovsk was shelled during the night from Russia. He said they were Russian military vehicles bearing the flags of the separatist Donetsk rebels.
Cristobal’s pelting rains lash Bahamas SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — Slow-moving Tropical Storm Cristobal lashed parts of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands with heavy rainfall on Sunday, and one man died and two other people were earlier left missing when they were caught up by swollen rivers on the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The man who died was drowned when he tried to drive his pickup truck across a rushing river in the Dominican Republic’s Hato Mayor, a province northeast of the capital of Santo Domingo, said Juan Manuel Mendez, the country’s emergency operations director.
Syrian official warns US: No unilateral airstrikes BEIRUT (AP) — While offering to assist any international effort to fight Islamic State militants, Syria’s foreign minister warned the U.S. Monday not to conduct airstrikes against the group inside Syria without Damascus’ consent, saying any such attack would be considered an aggression. Walid al-Moallem’s words appeared timed to try to preempt any U.S. military action in Syria. President Barack Obama has resisted ordering U.S. military action in Syria for three years, even after a deadly chemical weapons attack a year ago
near Damascus he blamed on President Bashar Assad’s government. But now, Obama faces pressure from his own military leaders to go after the Islamic State group inside Syria. Obama remains wary, however, of getting dragged into the bloody and complex Syrian civil war that the United Nations says has killed more than 190,000 people. Al-Moallem’s remarks at a conference in news Damascus also marked the first public comments by a senior Assad official on the threat posed by the Islamic State group, which has cap-
tured large swaths of Iraqi and Syrian territory. “Syria is ready to cooperate and coordinate on the regional and international level in the war on terror,” alMoallem said. “But any effort to combat terrorism should be coordinated with the Syrian government.” Al-Moallem appeared keenly aware of how much has changed in the past year as he spoke Monday. Since then, global disapproval has shifted away from Assad and toward the Islamic extremists who are fighting him and spreading destruction across Syria and Iraq.
Israel strikes kill 2 in Gaza; official’s home hit GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes and tank fire pounded Gaza on Monday as officials in the coastal strip said two more Palestinian civilians died from the violence. There has so far been no end in sight for the war, which has already killed more than 2,100 Palestinians since the fighting erupted on
July 8. On the Israeli side, 68 people have been killed, all but four of them soldiers. The Israeli military said it carried out 16 airstrikes on Gaza early Monday, targeting a mosque it said was used to store weapons and another it said militants used as a meeting point. The military also said that Palestinian militants from the densely populated strip
fired 10 rockets into Israel on Monday, all of which landed in open areas. Gaza police said one of the Israeli strikes hit the home of Omar al-Bursh, a Hamas justice ministry official, who was not harmed in the attack. Another airstrike severely damaged the departure lounge at Gaza’s border crossing with Egypt, police said.
PARIS (AP) — French President Francois Hollande dissolved the government Monday after open feuding among his Cabinet over the country’s stagnant economy. Prime Minister Manuel Valls offered up his Socialist government’s resignation after accusing France’s outspoken economy minister of crossing a line with his blunt criticism of the government’s policies. Hollande accepted the resignation and ordered Valls to form a new government by Tuesday. France has had effectively no economic growth this year, unemployment is hovering around 10 percent and Hollande’s approval ratings are sunk in the teens. The country is under pressure from the 28-nation European Union to get its finances in order, but Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg has questioned whether the austerity tack pressed by the EU will really kick-start French growth. Hollande’s promises to cut taxes and make it easier for businesses to open and operate have stalled, in large part because of the divisions among his Socialist party. “A major change in our economy policy,” was what Montebourg had said was needed, just days after Hollande had expressly said there would be no change in the government’s economic direction. The minister’s comments angered the Socialist leaderwhich said ship, Montebourg’s job was to support the government, not criticize it from within. “He’s not there to start a debate but to put France back on the path of growth,” Carlos Da Silva, the Socialist Party spokesman, told the Le Figaro newspaper. Montebourg represents the hard-left Socialist base, and his departure from the government is likely to anger many of the voters who brought Hollande to office in 2012.

PAIN Certain foods harm your body Continued from Page A1 ing, which many people didn’t do properly, she said. She recommended breathing in and out through the nose, down to the abdomen. Many people didn’t drink enough water either, Hicks said. She said she used a moonshine jug, which she filled with water and drank daily. “Pick one (a container) that fits your goals,” Hicks said. Activity was another area many folks could improve, Hyatt said. “Find a type of movement and stick with it,” Hyatt said. She listed many options, including gardening, walking, swimming, exercise videos and running. Hyatt advised using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation of at least 30 minutes of activity or 3,500 steps daily. Eating the wrong food also is correlated to pain, Hicks said.
MEDICAID OHP covers one million people Continued from Page A1 Democrat, and is unique to Oregon. But the federal government now says the state should go back to the traditional way of budgeting and tracking for each service provided. Care executives say that means services deemed not medically necessary by the federal government, such as an air conditioner, likely would not be possible. That could mean the woman who lacks the air conditioner might end up in an emergency room, which would ultimately cost the state a lot more money. The problem, officials say, is that the federal office is enforcing regulations that have not been changed to allow the Oregon reforms. After learning of the federal letter in a meeting with the state on Wednesday,

“You need to eliminate certain foods that harm your body,” Hicks said. The parasympathetic nervous system, also called the “rest and digest system,” plays a role in pain, too, Hicks said. The PNS is one of three divisions of the autonomic nervous system. It conserves energy and usually calms the body into a relaxed state by lowering blood pressure, decreasing heart rate and slowing respiration. It also increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. In today’s fast-paced society, it’s difficult for the PNS to do its job properly, she said. “We don’t have a society that helps our parasympathetic system,” Hicks said. Attendees of the class spoke positively about what they had learned. “It’s really good,” said Jeri Thurkow. “I’m sorry I missed the other ones.” Reporter Emily Thornton can be reached at 541-2691222, ext. 249, or at emily.thornton@theworldlink.com or on T w i t t e r : @EmilyK_Thornton.
care leaders said the new directive was alarming. Several said the federal position could lead to unsustainable cost hikes that could eventually force the state to reimburse the federal government much of the $1.9 billion it awarded in 2012 to support Oregon’s reforms. The money was conditioned on the state curbing cost increases. “It sounds to me that the global budget is dead,” said Kevin Campbell, CEO of Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, who works with several of the care organizations. Oregon Medicaid Director Judy Mohr Peterson acknowledged that a gulf remains between federal and state officials but said the state will find a political solution to the new federal. “I think the conversations will be challenging,” she told The Oregonian. “We’re still working on it.” The Oregon Health Plan serves nearly 1 million lowincome people, a quarter of the state’s population.

Reel Recovery pairs 14 men with 14 fishing buddies, who will help show them the ropes of fly-fishing. The national nonprofit program, with a chapter in Oregon, is designed to help men fighting cancer, with a motto of Be Well, Fish On! The Oregon chapter met earlier this month at the Bar K Ranch in Elkton.
RECOVERY Forget about daily rigors Continued from Page A1 ships and gain renewed hope as they confront the challenges of cancer.” This year, the Oregon Retreat took place Aug. 1719, at the Big K Ranch, on the banks of the Umpqua River. It included 14 cancer patients, teamed up with 14 fly fishermen. That means each participant has a fishing buddy, so no one is out on the water alone. “They, basically, are not fly fishermen, so we help them in every way,” Wiese said, as he watched from the banks as fish were being landed left and right. “We tie the fly for them.

REFUNDS Continued from Page A1 pain come spring. “As time goes on, the ability to make adjustments diminishes,” warned Mark Ciaramitaro,H&R Block’s vice president of health care services. “Clients count on that refund as their biggest financial transaction of the year. When that refund goes down, it really has reverberations.”
we serve them their meals, we cater to them in every respect, we haul water to them, we transport them wherever they want to go.” It is a mission, but not a mission of charity. “Pretty near all of us that are staff and facilitator, and so forth, have had some kind of cancer,” he said. The experience covers opposite ends of the spectrum for the men fighting cancer. It gives them the chance to get away from the constant presence of stress that the illness causes, while also allowing them to openly discuss their concerns. Wiese says the latter part can be particularly important. “It’s the first time they’ve ever talked about it, because, you know, the man thing is you don’t cry, you don’t talk about it. So, you crawl off by yourself sometimes and have your own moments. Trying
to share that (emotional) information is almost impossible. “Well, here for the first time, they are hearing from other people who, some are worse off/ better off, say this is what I do in this situation. They go, ‘Wow, why didn’t I think of that.’ It becomes such a sharing thing and these guys become a band of brothers and, shoot, they go places after this and get together and do things.” While they get to talk about it, he says, the thing they remember most about their visit tends to be what they do not remember during it. “People come back here (to the lodge) and they’ll say I’ve had cancer for five years, this is the first time I didn’t think about it all day long. They make our day when they say that.” There really isn’t a secret
to how they do that, Wiese advises, it’s just the nature of the hobby. “When you’re fly fishing, you are in the water, you have so many things to concentrate on that there isn’t any way you can think of anything else but fly fishing. You want to lay that fly out there, and you have got to keep your eye on the fly and on your line, or on your marker, so there is just no other time to do anything else.” The retreat typically runs about $10,000 to operate each year. The participants don’t pay a thing and, other than clean clothes, they don’t have to bring a thing with them for the trip. “Basically, funding is always an issue,” he adds. If you would like to find out more about the program, or to help out, you can visit their website at http://reelrecovery.org.
The Obama administration says it’s constantly urging newly insured consumers to report changes that could affect their coverage. But those messages don’t drive home the point about tax refunds. “What probably isn’t clear is that there may be consequences at tax time,” said Ciaramitaro. Aaron Albright, a spokesman for the Health and Human Services department,
said the administration plans to “ramp up” its efforts. Concern about the complex connection between the health care law and taxes has increased recently, after the Internal Revenue Service released drafts of new forms to administer health insurance tax credits next filing season. The forms set up a final accounting that ensures each household is getting the correct tax credit that the law
provides. Various factors are involved, including income, family size, where you live and the premiums for a “benchmark” plan in your community. Even experts find the forms highly complicated, requiring month-by-month computations for some taxpayers. Taxpayers accustomed to filing a simplified 1040EZ will not be able to do so if they received health insurance tax credits this year.

Ackley scorches Red Sox
The Associated Press
Katie Ledecky points into the crowd after she set a new world record in the 1,500-meter freestyle final at the Pan Pacific swimming championships Sunday.
Ledecky smashes record again GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — The long, deep breaths were a sign: Elation, satisfaction, relief. And just a touch of exhaustion. Katie Ledecky had just wiped almost six seconds off her own world record in the 1,500meter freestyle to win her fifth gold medal of the Pan Pacific championships, rounding off a phenomenal season of competition. She now owns the world records in the 400— she lowered her own mark at that distance the previous night — the 800- and the 1,500meter freestyle events and is the world champion in all three. And she’s still in high school. Before the Pan Pacific championships, the bulk of the attention focused on the return to international competition of Michael Phelps, the most decorated swimmer of all time. Ledecky’s performances made sure Phelps had to share the spotlight. Phelps, who won eight Olympic gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Games and retired after lifting his tally to 18 golds by the end of the London Games in 2012, was frequently asked about his 17-year-old teammate. “She’s a stud. It’s unbelievable,” Phelps said of Ledecky after she lowered her record in the 400, describing her reaction to all the fuss over her times as “so nonchalant.” “Watching her swim is remarkable,” he said. “She throws it on the line — she’s very talented, she works hard, and it shows.” Ledecky enjoys swimming the 1,500, but it’s not an Olympic event for women so it’s not a
big part of her longer-term plans beyond the world championships next year. She likes the challenge of it. Her reaction to winning the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle golds were fairly subdued and self-effacing. Although she said it was “kind of cool” to be the first to set a world record at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre’s new outdoor pool, she said she also loved playing a role in a winning 4x200 freestyle relay for the Americans. All of her records came in some pretty difficult weather conditions — steady rain and a cold wind off the nearby Pacific Ocean during most of the sessions. After completing the 30 laps in 15 minutes, 28.36 seconds — her third world record in 15 days — she really let her emotions show, slapping the water in delight after an intense final lap when she pushed harder and harder to the wall. “That was probably one of my most painful races,” Ledecky said. “But it paid off in the end. I figured pretty early on in the race that I was on world-record pace. I wasn’t sure about the middle if I fell off too much, because it did really hurt. I was pretty sure I had it, but breaking it by six seconds was pretty surprising.” It was the third time in 13 months she’s set the mark in the 1,500, and the second within three months since her 15:34.23 in June. “The 1,500 is not a huge priority of mine because it’s not an Olympic event — (but) it’s certainly one of my favorite events,” she said. “It was the last day of the meet — last time I broke it, it was the first day of the meet — so
pretty different.” Now, for a change, the 2012 Olympic 800meter champion will get a well-earned break from competition before training picks up again for the 2015 world championships. Phelps, meanwhile, earned his second relay gold of the meet, swimming the butterfly leg for the victorious medley relay squad. Phelps also finished two-hundredths of a second behind Kosuke Hagino’s winning time of 1:56.02 in the 200 medley. Conditions were mild but sunny for the last day in the pool, when the medals were spread among five countries — with Brazil and Canada getting on top of the podium for the first time through Bruno Fratus’ win in the 50 free and Ryan Cochrane’s victory in the 800. The United States topped the medal standings with 14 gold and 40 overall, with Maya Dirado winning the women’s 200 IM Sunday to go with the golds from Ledecky and the men’s relay. Australia placed second with 10 gold and 26 medals overall, followed by Japan with seven gold medals and a total of 19. Yasuhiro Koseki, meanwhile, won the 200 breaststroke in 2:08.57 to complete a 100-200 double and said. Kanako Watanabe and Rie Kaneto finished 1-2 for Japan in the earlier women’s 200 breaststroke. Australian sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell repeated their 1-2 finish in the 100 free by taking gold and silver again in the 50, and then Cate anchored the Aussies to victory over the United States and Canada in the women’s medley relay.
BOSTON (AP) — Dustin Ackley sure loved facing the Red Sox pitching. Ackley had three hits and scored three runs, Seattle’s bullpen was sharp for the second straight day and the Mariners beat Boston 8-6 on Sunday for the Red Sox’s eighth straight loss. Ackley had a triple, double and single, finishing 13-for-25 in six games against Boston this season. The Mariners completed their first-ever sweep in a series of three or more games in Fenway Park. “It’s a good place to hit, especially for a lefty,” he said. “You’ve got that wall over there. It’s a good spot to hit and we made the most of it today.” Kyle Seager drove in two runs for Seattle in a game that lasted 4 hours, 7 minutes. “Probably the best word I can probably think of is very draining,” Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. Boston stranded 15 runners and was 6-for-19 with runners in scoring position. “We had a number of opportunities we created for ourselves once again,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “For us to snap out where we are, this is going to come from us on the mound.” Dominic Leone (7-2) worked 2 2-3 innings of hitless relief for the win. Fernando Rodney escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth for his 38th save and the Mariners’ pen held Boston to one run over 6 2-3. In Saturday’s victory, Seattle’s relievers gave up just two hits in 5 1-3 innings of scoreless work. Will Middebrooks had a tworun double and drove in three runs for Boston, which is on its worst stretch since losing 10 straight in May. Trailing 5-3, Seattle scored a run in the fourth and took the lead with two in the fifth against Allen Webster (3-2). Ackley tied it with his triple. He scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly. Middlebrooks’ two-run double had given Boston a 5-3 lead in the third and chased starter Hisashi Iwakuma, who gave up five runs on six hits over 2 1-3 innings, his shortest start of the season. Iwakuma entered with a 17 2-3 innings scoreless streak, but that ended four batters into the first. SEE MARINERS | B2
Timbers fall to rival Sounders Portland drops out of the running for the Cascadia Cup ■

Rams lose QB again Bradford’s season ends with another torn ACL in his left knee ■
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jeff Fisher shared the bad news with Sam Bradford on Sunday morning. By the time the St. Louis Rams coach began his day-after news conference, he’d had several hours to digest the impact of an injury that puts the team’s once-rosy outlook in serious doubt, and to give a vote of confidence to journeyman backup Shaun Hill. After announcing Bradford’s season-ending torn ACL in his left knee for the second time in nine months, Fisher said speculation about a trade was premature. At the least, they’ll likely wait to see who hits the market in the first round of cuts on Tuesday when rosters must be at 75 players. “It makes no sense to jump and
react right now and try to fill the hole at whatever cost,” Fisher said. “We’re going to take our time and evaluate this. “There’s going to be some quarterbacks that are released and there may or may not be some quarterbacks out there that have trade value.” Fisher confirmed the extent of the injury first reported by ESPN and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He said no timetable had been set for surgery. “We lost Sam for the year,” Fisher said. “The news was devastating to him.” The coach quickly added that everyone at Rams Park must quickly become accustomed to the 34-year-old Hill running the offense. “We’re going to move forward, we’re not going to change anything,” Fisher said. “We have to move on and Shaun’s the guy.” SEE RAMS | B4
PORTLAND (AP) — Obafemi Martins didn’t have an encore backflip for his second goal against the T imbers, partly because it surprised him. Martins’ goals, along with an assist on another from Clint Dempsey, led the Seattle Sounders to a 4-2 victory Sunday over Portland in a Cascadia Cup rivalry match. Martins beat Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts in the 18th minute before adding another goal in the 76th. “I guess I had a little bit of luck, nearly slipping and falling down,” Martins, who shares the team lead with 10 goals, said about his second against Portland. “But with a little bit of luck, I was on my feet and tried to push the ball in front of me.” Chad Barrett also scored for the Sounders, who showed little fatigue after five matches in the past 15 days. Fanendo Adi scored twice for the Timbers. The victory moved the Sounders ahead of the Vancouver Whitecaps in the standings for the Pacific Northwest’s Cascadia Cup, the supporter-created rivalry between the three teams. The Timbers were effectively eliminated from the Cup race with the loss. With just nine games left, the loss also hurts Portland’s bid to return to the MLS playoffs after advancing to the Western Conference finals last year. The Timbers play the Whitecaps next weekend in British Columbia. The Sounders (14-7-3) are currently in first place in conference, while the Timbers (7-8-10) sit in

Brad Evans blew past Portland defender Liam Ridgewell and delivered the perfectly-placed cross to Martins in the box for his first goal, putting the Timbers up 1-0. Martins did a backflip — his trademark — in celebration. Seattle pushed the lead to 2-0 in the 34th minute when Martins broke downfield and passed the ball off to Dempsey, who fooled Ricketts with a roller into the net. Dempsey also has 10 goals for the Sounders this season. “It was a great ball from Oba,” Dempsey said. “When he’s on the ball, you just gotta make good movement to try to get on it. Not only does he score goals, he creates opportunities for others. I thought he played really well today.” After Chad Barrett came off the bench to score for the Sounders in the 70th minute, Adi narrowed it by beating Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei in the 73rd off a cross from Rodney Wallace. Adi added another goal in stop-
page time. It was his first goals at home this season. “I’ve been looking for a goal for a long time here because I’ve had goals on the road but I haven’t been able to give the fans here what they deserve” said Adi, who was acquired by the Timbers from FC Copenhagen in late June. The rivalry between the teams dates back to 1975 when the trio played in the North Americana Soccer League. The Cascadia Cup — at least the trophy itself — was introduced in 2004 when the three teams were part of the United Soccer Leagues First Division. Supporters pooled their money to buy a 2-foot tall silver cup that lists the years each team has won. Sunday’s match was the 88th meeting between the Timbers and the Sounders. Seattle hosted the last one on July 13th and won 2-0, with Dempsey scoring in the 71st minute after returning from World Cup duty. SEE SOCCER | B3

Sports Mahan wins PGA playoff opener
Angels regain top spot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Josh Hamilton homered and drove in three runs, Mike Trout also went deep and the Los Angeles Angels regained the best record on baseball, beating the Oakland Athletics 94 on Sunday night. Erick Aybar had two hits and two RBIs and Kole Calhoun finished with three hits for the Angels, who ended a five-game losing streak to the A’s in Oakland. Albert Pujols and Howie Kendrick each drove in a run as Los Angeles won for the ninth time in 12 games.

Scott Kazmir (14-6) matched his season highs in runs (seven) and hits (10) in three-plus innings. Athletics closer Sean Doolittle was placed on the 15-day disabled list by Oakland about an hour before the game with a strained right intercostal. Doolittle, who saved the first two games of the series against the Angels, is 1-3 with 20 saves and a 2.28 ERA in 54 relief appearances. He has walked five and struck out 80 in 55 1-3 innings.

PARAMUS, N.J. — About the only thing that went wrong for Hunter Mahan at The Barclays was when the trophy broke. All he had to show for perhaps the biggest win of his career was a large wreath of roses. The closing stretch was exactly what he needed Sunday. Mahan pulled away with three straight birdies, sealing the victory with a 20-foot putt down the slope on the par-5 17th. That allowed him a bogey from the trees on the final hole for a 6-under 65 and a two-shot victory at 14-under 270 in the opening FedEx Cup playoff event. Mahan had gone 48 tournaments and nearly 30 months since his last victory.

South Korea takes LLWS title WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — In the giddy moments after South Korea won the Little League World Series, outfielder Don Wan Sin realized how he wanted to celebrate. “I want to go to the Blue House — the White House of Korea — and meet the President,” Sin said, breaking up his teammates. Just maybe Sin, who scored twice and hit a solo homer, will indeed get his wish to meet Park Geun-hye. He’s famous back in his homeland — along with all of his teammates. Jae Yeong Hwang drove in two runs and combined with Hae Chan Choi, who weathered a late Chicago rally, to lead the Asia-Pacific Region champions to an 8-4 win in Sunday’s LLWS championship game. Hwang, who was removed because he wasn’t feeling well, gave up one hit in twoplus innings while striking out four. He also drove in his team’s first two runs as they built an 8-1 lead before Jackie Robinson West made it close. “I’m very joyful. It’s a wonderful feeling,” Hwang said. “I don’t know why I’m even here; I didn’t play very good today.”
Choi, who had a homer and scored twice, pitched the last four innings for South Korea, which won its third title after back-to-back championships in 1984 and ‘85. But even he got a little nervous at the end after Chicago collected four of its six hits and scored three times. “I knew I could allow some runs,” he said. “After I got the second out, I thought I could do it. But after I gave up the three runs I was (worried).” International teams have won the last three and four of the last five titles. Brandon Green went 5 2-3 innings for Chicago, which had survived four straight knockout games before the final. After the final out, a force play, the Seoul team’s bench emptied and the players dumped cups of water on their teammates near the mound. The players took a victory lap, waving and laughing. The win meant a lot to the people of South Korea, who had to watch it or get updates in the middle of the night. “We know the time difference and that a lot of people were cheering for us,” said
manager Jong Wook Park. “We appreciate the people back in Korea. I told the kids that in a speech.” The game was played in bright sunshine and temperatures in the high 70s before a crowd of 28,671 at Lamade Stadium. South Korean fans, brightly dressed in flowing satin robes of yellow and electric blue, danced with large fans in the latter innings. Chicago, the Great Lakes Region champions, came back from 3-0 and 5-4 deficits to beat favored West champ Las Vegas Mountain Ridge 7-5 in the U.S. title game on Saturday. Earlier, South Korea, the AsiaPacific Region winner, rolled over Japan, 12-3. But they couldn’t come back against the powerful South Koreans, who asserted themselves early. Leadoff hitter Choi drilled the very first pitch over the wall in right, but a few feet foul. He then flied out deep to right. Sin followed by smacking a screaming liner to center that slipped out of the glove of DJ Butler for a two-base error. Hwang ’s double brought in the first run.
COLLEGE SPORTS Former player objects to NCAA settlement CHICAGO — A former San Diego State football player has asked a federal judge to reject the recently proposed $75 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA, saying it unfairly forces athletes who suffered head injuries to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in potential damages. The request, which came in a late Friday filing in federal court in Chicago on behalf of Anthony Nichols, is the first in what’s likely to be a monthslong approval process to raise questions about the deal, under which the NCAA would create a $70 million fund to test thousands of current and former athletes for brain trauma. It also sets aside $5 million for research.
GYMNASTICS Mikulak defends title at U.S. championships PITTSBURGH — Sam successfully Mikulak defended his U.S. men’s gymnastics title, rallying past Jake Dalton in the final
rotation to cap a dramatic comeback. The three-time NCAA champion began the day in fourth place but surged past Dalton and former national champions John Orozco and Danell Leyva with six nearly flawless routines. Mikulak had a two-day total of 180.650, just ahead of the 180.200 by Orozco. Jake Dalton was third, followed by Donnell Whittenburg and 2012 Olympic all-around bronze medalist Danell Leyva.
NFL Prater gets four-game suspension after DUI DENVER — Matt Prater’s lawyer said the NFL initially threatened a yearlong suspension before agreeing to ban the Denver Broncos kicker four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Harvey Steinberg said Prater’s suspension was alcohol-related. He said Prater consumed a couple of beers while on vacation in between the end of the team’s offseason workout program in June and the start of training camp in late July. Prater has been in the league’s substance abuse program since he was charged with DUI on Aug. 12, 2011.
Marino takese adviser role with Dolphins MIAMI — Dan Marino is returning to the Miami Dolphins as a newly hired special adviser to team owner Stephen Ross, a move that has been expected for some time. Marino was briefly with the Dolphins in 2004 as their senior vice president of football operations, resigning after less than a month citing family and other reasons. He spent the last decade primarily as an NFL analyst for CBS. Marino was at Dolphins practice this past week, seen chatting on the field with coach Joe Philbin. The specifics of Marino’s new role are not yet known, with the team saying he will “work with the organization in a variety of different capacities.”
Bills release Branch after arrest in New York ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills released veteran defensive lineman Alan Branch on Sunday, one day after he was arrested on a drunken-driving charge. Police spotted Branch vomiting out the side of his car in Cheektowaga on Saturday. The Bills reported he failed a field sobriety test and registered a blood alcohol level of .14, well over the legal limit of .08. Branch was inactive for Saturday’s preseason loss to Tampa Bay. An eight-year NFL veteran, Branch signed a threeyear contract extension after last season. But he reported to training camp out of shape and was banished to the second and third teams after failing conditioning tests.
Arizona captures third straight ArenaBowl CLEVELAND — Nick Davila threw for 237 yards and eight touchdowns and the Arizona Rattlers won their third consecutive ArenaBowl title with a 72-32 victory over the Cleveland Gladiators on Saturday night. The Rattlers are the second team in Arena Football League history to win three straight titles. It was also the Rattlers’ fifth overall championship, tying them with the Tampa Bay Storm for the most in league history. Rod Windsor paced the Rattlers receivers with seven catches for 123 yards and three touchdowns and Davila was selected as the game’s MVP. The Rattlers took advantage of numerous mistakes by the Gladiators and went into halftime with a 44-13 lead. Kerry Reed, Tyson Poots and Chris Jackson each had two touchdowns for Arizona. Reed also had a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown to put Arizona up 14-0 early in the first quarter.

Portland falls in NWSL semifinals Kansas City will face Seattle for the championship ■
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Amy Rodriguez and Lauren Holiday scored second-half goals and FC Kansas City beat the defending champion Portland Thorns 2-0 in the National Women’s Soccer League semifinals Saturday. Kansas City (13-7-5) avenged a 2013 semifinal loss to Portland (10-9-6), which the Thorns came back to win 3-2 in
extra time. Rodriguez gave Kansas City the lead in the 63rd minute. She received a through ball from Holiday and took one touch to elude Portland goalkeeper Nadine Angerer. Kansas City extended its lead in the 87nd minute when Holiday got behind the defense and sent Sarah Hagen’s pass into the back of the net. Portland’s best scoring chance came when Veronica Boquete curled a shot off the near post in the fourth minute of stoppage time before halftime. The game was played in
front of 2,997 fans at Verizon Wireless Field at Durwood Stadium in Kansas City. Reign FC 2, Spirit 1: Hope Solo saved a late penalty shot and Megan Rapinoe scored the game-winner as the Seattle Reign FC defeated the Washington Spirit 2-1 in the National Women’s Soccer League semifinals on Sunday night. Solo made her crucial save in 79th minute when she deflected Diana Matheson’s attempt into the crossbar. Seattle (17-2-6) then safely cleared the deflection.
Rapinoe set herself up for the go-ahead goal 3 minutes later after intercepting defender Toni Pressley in the Spirit backfield. Kim Little pulled Seattle even at 1-1 on a penalty kick in the 72nd minute. Her first effort was good, but waved off due to encroachment. She made the second try as well. The Spirit opened the scoring when Veronica Perez got her first goal of the season past Solo in the 66th minute. The Reign advanced to face FC Kansas City in the championship game next Sunday.
SOCCER From Page B1 Dempsey had a hat trick in a 4-all draw at Portland’s Providence Park to kick off Cascadia Cup play in April. “Our team went out there with an attitude. We wanted to make a statement today,” Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. The Timbers were coming off a 4-1 win over Alpha United FC Wednesday in Guyana to open CONCACAF Champions League play. The Timbers took a squad consisting mainly of reserves, while the starters stayed home. Portland’s last league game was a 1-1 draw at New England last Saturday. “We didn’t play well enough to get a result,” Portland coach Caleb Porter said. “The stats tell a story of a different soccer game, but I’d take less possession, less shots, less corners to get a result.”

Sports Penske teammates build momentum with Bristol sweep
The Associated Press
First place winner Scott Dixon edges out Ryan Hunter-Reay during the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma IndyCar race Sunday.
Dixon captures 35th IndyCar win SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Will Power thought the world was ending when an earthquake shook him out of bed. A few hours later at Sonoma Raceway, the sleep-deprived driver plummeted from the pole to 20th place before fighting back for a finish that actually increased his IndyCar points lead. Scott Dixon barely noticed the quake, and he calmly racked up another milestone victory while Power frantically stayed in position to take Dixon’s place as series champion next weekend. Dixon surged ahead with three laps left at Sonoma on Sunday, while Power recovered from a mid-race spin to finish 10th heading to the season finale. Dixon is out of the race to defend his 2013 title after a poor start to the season, but he has won two of IndyCar’s last three races. Unlike most of his competitors, he wasn’t bothered by the 6.0 earthquake that caused extensive damage in the cities around the raceway, including Napa.
“I think I caught the last maybe five or 10 seconds,” Dixon said. “People were screaming, but I just went back to bed.” Dixon grabbed his second Sonoma victory and his 35th win overall after leader Graham Rahal was forced to pit for gas with four laps left. Dixon slid inside Mike Conway for the lead and held on for Target Chip Ganassi Racing, moving him into a fifth-place tie with Bobby Unser for career victories on the circuit. Rahal and Conway both tried to push to the finish on low fuel, but neither made it. Ryan Hunter-Reay finished second, and Takuma Sato was fourth. “We know our team finishes strong, but if we could have started the season on the map, we could have done a lot better,” Dixon said. “For me, it’s been one of the worst seasons I’ve had.” Although Dixon won, Power was under the IndyCar spotlight. The Australian boosted his lead over teammate Helio Castroneves to 51 points
heading to the double-points finale at Fontana on Saturday. Castroneves struggled to an 18thplace finish at Sonoma, and Simon Pagenaud is 81 points back in third after a third-place showing on a wild day in wine country. Power crossed the finish line ninth after a ferocious last-lap push past Justin Wilson, culminating in a thrilling three-wide sprint with Sebastien Bourdais. But IndyCar recorded Wilson in ninth and Power in 10th because of a local yellow flag for the slowing car of Conway, who crawled across the line. The finish capped a tumultuous day for Power, who started on the pole in his attempt to win at Sonoma for the fourth time in five years. “That was a good recovery there,” Power said. “We had such a fast car, but that’s the way IndyCar racing goes. We maintained the points lead, and we’re going to Fontana. We’ll see what we can do, man.”
Rift forms between Formula One leaders SPA, Belgium (AP) — Nico Rosberg extended his championship lead and deepened his rift with Lewis Hamilton. The gloves are now well and truly off between the Mercedes rivals in their bitter fight for the Formula One title. After Rosberg finished second at Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton claimed the German driver acknowledged that he had deliberately crashed into him early in the incident-packed race, which saw Daniel Ricciardo clinch his third win of the season.
“We just had a meeting about it and he basically said he did it on purpose,” Hamilton said, struggling to contain his anger. “He said he did it on purpose. He said he could have avoided it. He said ‘I did it to prove a point.”’ There was no immediate response from Rosberg, who now has 220 points with Hamilton still on 191 and third-placed Ricciardo on 156. The huge tensions inside Mercedes overshadowed Ricciardo’s impressive performance for resurgent Red Bull. Rosberg effectively ended
Hamilton’s chances of victory on the second lap after a risky overtaking move that saw him clip and puncture the Briton’s left tire. Both of their cars were damaged, but not as much as their relationship. “I heard someone say that it was inevitable we were going to crash one day, but I don’t feel that today was that inevitability,” Hamilton said. “It’s not your job to go massively out of your way to leave extra, extra room.” Red Bull took full advantage as Ricciardo raced away to a second consecutive vic-
tory, beating Rosberg by 3.3 seconds. Hamilton retired five laps from the end as he slipped 29 points behind Rosberg overall. Ricciardo’s efforts were totally overshadowed by the third major Mercedes feud this season between Hamilton and Rosberg. The two men’s friendship — cemented in their junior days racing karts against each other — now appears in freefall. “It’s damaging this weekend for me, I don’t know how I’m going to get back 30 points,” Hamilton said.
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Brad Keselowski is part brash racer, and part pragmatist. He was both after following Penske Racing teammate Joey Logano to the checkered flag at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday night, giving the team a 1-2 finish and a continuing surge of momentum. Logano’s third victory of the season gave him five consecutive finishes in the top six, and gave his teammate confirmation that Team Penske is as much a Sprint Cup championship contender as anyone. “I think the results speak for themselves and we just need to keep rolling,” the 2012 series champion said. “We’ve got two teams that are legitimate contenders by really every stretch of the imagination.” Logano’s sixth career victory, secured when he passed Matt Kenseth with 44 laps to go and then held off a challenge from Keselowski in the closing laps, allowed him to join Keselowski and the Hendrick Motorsports trio of Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson as threetime winners this season. It kept Kenseth, of Joe Gibbs Racing, winless, but caused Keselowski to admit that any groundswell of speculation expecting a duel between the Hendrick and Team Penske teams for the Sprint Cup Series championship is short-sighted. “I think we’ve all got our eyes on Matt’s group and all the Gibbs cars, and I just don’t see a whole season going by without them having a dominant race car,” he said of the group that also includes Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. “I think we’re all fearful that that will happen at the Chase when it counts the most.” Logano, sporting a clown-sized smile, is the new addition to the conversation. He’s never won more than one race in a season before this year, but in his second season with Penske, he clearly has found his comfort zone. Departing the Gibbs shop two years ago and moving to Penske caused him to take stock of himself, he said. “You get to walk in there as a new person, be who you want to be,” he said. “For me, it was kind of the moment I grew up and took the bull by
Cincinnati wins preseason game THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Ariz. — Cincinnati’s Terence Newman returned an interception 54 yards for the only touchdown by either team’s starters and the Bengals went on to a 19-13 preseason victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night. Mike Nugent added field goals of 48 and 36 yards for Cincinnati (1-2). Jay Feely, competing with rookie Chandler Catanzaro for the Cardinals’ kicking job, made a 24-yarder but missed from 48 yards. Catanzaro made a 23-yard attempt. The Cardinals (1-2) got their lone touchdown on a 30-yard pass from backup Drew Stanton to rookie John Brown with 1:29 left in the third quarter. 49ers 21, Chargers 7: San Francisco’s No. 1 offense still looks shaky two weeks from the regular season, and the 49ers did just enough for their first preseason victory in a win against San Diego. There were tens of thousands of empty seats hours after an overnight 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck in the Northern California wine country near Napa. The quake affected some public transportation options to the new $1.2 billion stadium, which sold out last Sunday. The patchy field is still hardly ideal, with visible lines where new sod was placed Friday after the initial turf failed to hold. Phil Dawson kicked a 39yard field goal at the 9:27
RAMS From Page B1
mark of the second quarter, ending an eight-quarter scoreless drought for the 49ers as they doubled their preseason total. Dawson added another from 28 yards a week after missing twice. Philip Rivers completed his first five passes and finished 9 of 10 for 85 yards and a touchdown for San Diego. San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick was 6 of 12 for 59 yards.
SATURDAY Rams 33, Browns 14: Browns starting quarterback Brian Hoyer threw a touchdown pass and celebrated rookie backup Johnny Manziel had a 7-yard TD run. Manziel was also sacked twice by Rams rookie Michael Sam, who punctuated the first takedown by mimicking Manziel’s “money” sign. “If you’re going to sack Johnny, you’ve got to do that once,” Sam said. Manziel went 10 of 15 for 85 yards. Saints 23, Colts 17: Drew Brees threw two touchdown passes in the first quarter and led New Orleans to a win at Indianapolis. After missing more than two weeks of practice and the Saints’ first two preseason games with a strained left side muscle, Brees showed no sign of rustiness. He went 9 of 15 for 128 yards with no interceptions for New Orleans (3-0). Six-time Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne suited up for the Colts (0-3) for the first time since tearing his right ACL last October, but Indy’s
the horns and I was able to be very fortunate to team up with the right people to help me grow.” Here are five things to watch over the last two races before the Chase field is set: STEWART’S CAR: Tony Stewart missed his third consecutive race after being involved in a sprint car accident that killed Kevin Ward Jr. in New York. Jeff Burton filled in for the third week in a row, had the car in the top 10 at one point and finished 15th. Might he finish the season in the car? MATT’S IN: He won’t say it, because he’s cautious that way, but despite not having won a race, Kenseth is fifth in the points battle, one spot above six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who has won three times. It would take a string a monumental dominoes falling wrong for him not to be in after Richmond. TEMPER TANTRUM: ‘Chemistry’ is a word often used in NASCAR to explain a team’s success, and Kyle Busch must not be a science guy. Crew chief Dave Rogers, weary of his driver’s incessant complaining during Saturday night’s race, finally told Busch to park the car by the hauler and take his “whiny” self to the bus. Busch parked it all right, but on pit road, leaving his crew members to push it to the hauler. HAMLIN AND HARVICK: NASCAR said there will be no action taken against Denny Hamlin for throwing his HANS device at Kevin Harvick’s car as it passed under caution after Harvick caused Hamlin to spin and crash as the leader. There’s history between these two, though, and both are locked into the Chase, so if “Boys, have at it” is their prevailing mindset the next two weeks, the five or six drivers contending to qualify for the playoffs on points might be well-advised to be aware of where these two are at all times. SNEAKY JIMMIE: Sixtime champion Jimmie Johnson had finished in the top 10 just three times in the previous eight races, and he’s been 39th or lower just as often. He twice got busted for speeding on pit road early at Bristol, but rallied to finish fourth. Perhaps he’s just rounding into Chase form?
The Associated Press
Cincinnati wide receiver Mohamed Sanu runs after the catch as Arizona cornerback Jerraud Powers defends during the first half Sunday. offense struggled. Andrew Luck played into the third quarter and finished 10 of 18 for 103 yards with one TD and one interception. Texans 18, Broncos 17: Peyton Manning and Emmanuel Sanders found their rhythm after an early miscue, connecting for two long touchdowns in the final 67 seconds of the first half of Denver’s preseason loss to Houston. Manning was whistled for taunting following his second TD toss to Sanders. The Broncos said that was apparently the first such penalty in the five-time MVP’s career. Titans 24, Falcons 17: Rookie Bishop Sankey’s 3yard touchdown run and 2point conversion with 5:45 remaining gave Tennessee its first lead as the Titans rallied. Matt Ryan was sharp for Atlanta (1-2) as he threw
first-half touchdown passes to Julio Jones and Devin Hester. Vikings 30, Chiefs 12: The Vikings’ Matt Cassel threw for 152 yards and a touchdown in his return to Kansas City, and Minnesota rolled to a victory over the Chiefs in a preseason game. Cassel, benched and then released by the Chiefs two years ago, found Cordarrelle Patterson for a 53-yard scoring strike on the Vikings’ first offensive series. Teddy Bridgewater threw two TD passes to tight end Allen Reisner late in the game. Buccaneers 27, Bills 14: Defensive tackle Clinton McDonald provided quarterback Josh McCown and the rebuilt Buccaneers’ offense a hand in helping run up the score on the slow-starting Bills. McDonald returned a
fumble 17 yards for a touchdown and McCown directed two scoring drives. Ravens 23, Redskins 17: Joe Flacco’s final throw was a touchdown pass, providing a positive ending to an uneven performance by the Ravens’ first-team offense. Robert Griffin III concluded his horrid outing with an interception, leaving the Redskins much to consider. The third-year quarterback went 5-for-7 for 20 yards in the first half and was sacked three times. Dolphins 25, Cowboys 20: Orleans Darkwa ran in from 1 yard with 1:45 left, and the Dolphins rallied from two scores down in the final minutes to beat the Cowboys. Gator Hoskins caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Matt Moore earlier in the fourth period for Miami.
In all, five starters were hurt in the first half against the Browns Saturday night. Fisher called it a “nightmare.” Cornerback Trumaine Johnson was carted off with a knee injury and three others — guard Rodger Saffold and defensive tackles Kendall Langford and Michael Brockers — left with ankle injuries. Johnson will be out 4-6 weeks with an MCL tear, but Fisher said Saffold, Langford and Brockers could play if needed in the preseason finale Thursday at Miami. Bradford was injured in the first quarter of Saturday night’s 33-14 preseason victory at Cleveland. He was hit on his left side by Browns defensive end Armonty Bryant as he threw a pass, and hopped briefly on his right leg before dropping to the ground. Fisher said the injury was a “one in 100” rarity. “The knee was locked and something has to give,” Fisher said. “Unfortunately, the ACL gave.” Bradford, the first overall pick of the 2010 draft, missed the last nine games last season after getting injured at Carolina. The Rams also have rookie Garrett Gilbert and Austin Davis on the roster. Hill strolled through the auditorium to a meeting as Fisher walked to the podium and Davis also made an appearance during the news conference. “Shaun’s our guy,” Fisher said. “I brought him here.” Bradford had 14 touchdown passes and four interceptions last season.

When it doesn’t pay to be cheap FRANK AND ERNEST
There is a predictable progression many of us go through as we make a decision to stop living beyond our means. We get cheap. In fact, some even call us cheapskates — a label that personally I enjoy because it proves that I’m not the person I used to be — a credit-card junkie and a to ta l ly wh a c ke d - o u t spendthrift. It didn’t take long for me to adopt a mindset that if cheap was good, and then c h ea p e r must be EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE eb evt tee rn. As noble as that thought might se e m — and it pains me to admit — it is Mary n o t always Hunt t r u e . Sometimes the cheapest option ends up costing the most. It’s a wise person who can see the big picture not just the cash outlay on the front end. Case in point: Our house was in desperate need of paint. Spending thousands of dollars to have it painted made me queasy. So when one of the bids came in much lower than the others, I jumped on it. I figured paint is paint. We’d get the house painted and still have money in the bank. I t n eve r l o o ke d t h a t great, and we were very disappointed. Before even two years passed, the paint job failed. The trim cracked and peeled, making our paint look 10 years old, not two. By the time we reached the three-year mark, paint was falling in chunks from the stucco. It was truly pathetic, and we lived with that mess far longer than I like to admit. I know now that our cheap paint job cost us far more in the long run than if we’d gone with the highest bid from the start. There are other times wh e n b uy i n g t h e m os t quality you can afford is the cheapest way to go. Buying a mattress, putting on a new roof, dental care, a decent pair of shoes — all of these are places where you are likely to pay less in the long run by opting for the m os t q u a l i ty yo u ca n afford. So how do you know whether you should go for the most quality you can afford or the cheapest price you can find? Ask, “How long do I want this item to last?” If the answer is “As long as possible,” that’s a sign that you need to buy the m os t q u a l i ty yo u ca n afford. If your answer is something like, “Until the end of the wedding reception,” you don’t need quality. You need to shift your thinking to finding the best-looking dress at the cheapest price. Who cares if the quality is so poor it couldn’t make it down the aisle multiple times? Knowing when to buy the m os t q u a l i ty yo u ca n afford, and when to go for the cheapest price you can find, is a learned skill. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. And the better you get, the more you will enjoy some finer things in life that will turn out to be the cheapest way to go, after all.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2014 Get your plans up and running to turn this year into one of great accomplishment. Past problems can be put behind you, and your determination will enable you to move forward with confidence. Toss out old techniques that are holding you back. Update and rejuvenate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You will be on an emotional roller coaster, so slow down and take stock of things. Stick to simple, practical plans and keep your decision-making to a minimum. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Conflicts with authority figures should be avoided. You can promote your ideas with confidence, but don’t force your opinion on others. Use intelligence and mindfulness to get your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s time to introduce some passion and pizzazz into your personal life. Plan to spend an exhilarating evening with the person you enjoy being with most. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Someone is withholding information from you. Take precautions to prevent a broken promise from becoming costly. You are best to avoid joint ventures. Go it alone or opt out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Others will fall under your spell today. Take this opportunity to market your abilities and ideas. The support you gain will help you formulate your next move.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Residential improvements or renovations can result in an unexpected financial gain. Your sense of satisfaction and your comfort level will improve, along with your standard of living. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Compromise will be the order of the day. Rather than invest time and energy in a battle of wills, agree to disagree for the sake of harmony. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your intuition will lead to a lifechanging business venture. Demonstrate your talents to as many interested parties as you can, and a window of opportunity will open. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may be surprised at the information you discover by merely observing what other people do or say. Studying the way people interact can give you insight into your own behavior. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t assume you know what is best for everyone. There is bound to be a clashing of wills if you try to decree what others should or should not do. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Consider everything you are currently doing, and pinpoint what’s most important to you. Revisiting an old goal or partnership can bring new light to an old situation. It’s time to prioritize and make amends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A conservative approach to a moneymaking venture will turn out in your favor. If you want to climb the ladder of success, you have to do it one step at a time. Be patient.
