Nation pauses to mark 9/11 anniversary NEW YORK (AP) — With the solemn toll of a bell and a moment of silence, the nation paused Thursday to mark the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attack.

Family and friends of those who died read the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, at the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Thelma Stuart, whose husband Walwyn Wellington Stuart Jr., 28, was a Port Authority Police Department officer, said the nation should pray for its leaders, “that

God will grant them wisdom, knowledge and understanding on directing them on moving forward.”

The sad roll call was to pause only four times: to mark the times when the first plane struck the World Trade Center, when the second plane struck, when the first tower fell and when the second tower fell.

Joanne Barbara, whose husband of 30 years, Gerard Barbara, was a FDNY captain who died, urged all to feel for not only the lost but

“those who continue to suffer from the aftermath.”

“May God bless America, and may we never, never forget,” she said.

Little about the annual ceremony at ground zero has changed. But so much around it has.

For the first time, the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum — which includes gut-wrenching artifacts and graphic photos of the attacks — is open. Fences around the memorial plaza have come down, integrating the sacred site

more fully with the streets of Manhattan while completely opening it up to the public and camera-wielding tourists.

A new mayor is in office, Bill de Blasio, one far less linked to the attacks and their aftermath than his immediate predecessors. And finally, a nearly completed One World Trade Center has risen 1,776 feet above ground zero and will be filled with office workers by this The Associated Press date in 2015, another sign that a Port Authority Police Assistant Chief SEE ANNIVERSARY | A8

DEATHS

INSIDE

WASHINGTON — By expanding his military campaign against the Islamic State group, President Barack Obama hopes to reverse the militants’ momentum in Iraq, squeeze their sanctuary in Syria and erode their recruiting appeal across the greater Mideast. Those are key steps toward Obama’s stated goal of eventually destroying the extremist group.

The strategy’s success, however, also hinges on a set of more difficult moves: effective coordination with Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces, undercutting financial and ideological support for the Islamic State group, and building up anti-Islamic State forces in Syria without strengthening the regime of President Bashar Assad, which Obama considers illegitimate.

These U.S. gains are unlikely to occur quickly, but broadening U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and extending them to Syria could “change the reality and the perception of whether ISIL has the momentum or whether they are being rocked back on their heels,” said Michele Flournoy, the Obama administration’s first policy chief at the Pentagon. ISIL is an alternative acronym for the Islamic State group.

Undermining the Islamic State group’s popular image as a military steamroller is especially important, particularly in the short run, she said.

“On the Iraq side of the border it has already begun,” she said.

Five weeks of U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State forces in northern and western Iraq have taken a military and perhaps psychological toll, compelling those forces to disperse and assume more defensive positions, according to U.S. defense officials.

That has stalled their offensive, which swiftly routed Iraqi troops in the north in June and gave Islamic State fighters the appearance of being an unstoppable force, prompting Obama to begin limited bombing Aug. 8.

Last weekend, the U.S. began airstrikes around the Haditha Dam west of Baghdad, marking an expansion of the mission. With his announcement Wednesday, Obama essentially has lifted all restrictions on Islamic State targets in Iraq, meaning the air campaign will intensify, broaden and perhaps exact a heavier toll. To facilitate the additional strikes, Obama authorized U.S. soldiers to begin embedding with the Iraqi army — not to fight alongside them but to help them profit from U.S. airstrikes.

Obama made clear the task won’t be easy.

“Now it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL,” Obama said in his televised address to the nation. “And any time we take military action, there are risks involved.”

The Pentagon said Wednesday, before Obama’s speech, that U.S. warplanes had conducted 154 airstrikes in Iraq so far, damaging or destroying 212 Islamic State targets, including 162 vehicles.

Ship building

BY GAIL ELBER For The World

Californian Asa Simpson arrived in North Bend following the gold rush and, from 1858 to 1903, his shipyard built vessels that carried the area’s lumber, coal and cheese to San Francisco. The Coos Bay Shipbuilding Company and Kruse & Banks filled military contracts during World War I, but the end of that war sent all wooden shipbuilding into a decline. Still, Kruse & Banks had a last hurrah building wooden minesweepers during World War II. In the age of steel, Hillstrom Shipbuilding flourished from 1940 to 1979, building first military craft and then fishing vessels and tugs.

By the 1990s, limitations on Alaskan fisheries and dwindling local demand had becalmed the South Coast’s shipbuilding industry. But these days, it’s picking up speed.

Southern Oregon Marine Inc., a subsidiary of

ocean towing firm Sause Bros., employs more than 70 people building and repairing barges and tugs. Giddings Boat Works and Skallerud Marine in Charleston together employ around 40 people building fishing and recreational boats, and Fred Wahl Marine Construction in Reedsport employs another 50. Another big employer in shipbuilding is Freeman Marine Equipment in Gold Beach, which manufactures hatches, doors, port lights and windows.

If offshore wind power installations prove feasible, they could provide new work for local builders.

On the Empire waterfront, the Coos Bay Boat Building Center preserves the art of wooden boat building. Hobbyists can learn to build small boats there, and bigger projects are in the works. The center also facilitates our

Worst of all, the thief made off with Grandma’s glasses and tea cup. Someone, it seems, chooses to ignore a very simple rule: don’t take other people’s things.

Forever changed as a nation Our view The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America changed our lives forever.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

At the same time, it feels like it happened a lifetime ago, and just yesterday.

The cataclysmic events on this date 13 years ago changed the nation of the United States irrevocably. We are not, nor will we ever be the same as before.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, 19 members of the Islamic terrorist group alQaeda hijacked four U.S. commercial airliners and brought hell to America. Two of the aircraft flew straight into the twin World Trade Center towers in New York City. Another plunged into the Pentagon. Later, a fourth airliner the hijackers were aiming at Washington, D.C.,

crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pa. Nearly 3,000 were killed.

Most were civilians, and the toll included 343 firefighters and 72 police officers.

Property and infrastructure losses are estimated at $10 billion.

The nation was left in shock. Never before had an attack of such immensity come to the U.S. mainland.

And, just as with the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, the Sept. 11 attacks constituted a political and social event horizon that set our destiny.

Soon thereafter, the nation sent its armed forces to the

Middle East, and we’re still there. We now have the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the largest federal reorganization since creation of the Department of Defense in 1947. We now have the USA PATRIOT Act, designed to ferret out terrorism, and now reviled by some who believe it gives our government too much authority to spy on its own citizens.

In terms of our global view, some of us have adopted an isolationist attitude similar to our world view after World War I. Others believe we still hold responsibility to act as police force for the world.

And some critics of U.S. foreign policy say America

is reaping the backlash from past meddling in the Middle East.

All that is certain now is that U.S. concepts of international relations must change. In the 20th century we dealt with nations, sometimes creating the governments we did business with. In the 21st century we must understand and deal with terrorist groups and caliphates, oftentimes existing without traditional geopolitical borders, and out of our control.

And the paradigm shift happened Sept. 11, 2001 — just yesterday, and a lifetime ago.

What would we die, pray for?

While a prisoner of Islamic terrorists, Steven Sotloff faked illness so that he could observe Yom Kippur. It is said that he would also covertly pray facing Jerusalem.

As with James Foley, another American journalist beheaded by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Sotloff’s religious faith was reportedly important to him.

“He was no hero,” his family emphasized in a statement. “He was a man who tried to find good in a world full of darkness.”

Very far away from where national headlines tend to be made, about 250 Catholic scholars gathered in Bismarck, North Dakota, over Labor Day weekend. The University of Mary there was celebrating the existence of Catholic studies programs, the first one having been established by Don Briel 20 years ago in Minnesota.

In a Saturday morning talk, Fr. Paul Murray, an Irish Dominican, reminded the gathering of a chant that changed the history of Poland in the early summer of 1979.

During John Paul II’s visit to his home country, then under the control of the Soviet Union, the people began chanting, “We want God.” That deep desire for the Lord, and that public insistence that religious faith is a human right to be protected and welcomed, is one that we Americans — and Westerners — often lack confidence in today, KATHRYN for so many reasons. Our LOPEZ modern cultural institutions have a secular edge Columnist to them that, at best, assumes that sophisticated people don’t do piety, and is also increasingly hostile to robust religious faith.

Fr. Murray talked, among other things, about the dangers of relativism. While it appears “apparently sane and humane,” and “identified in the popular mind with such fine and necessary things as tolerance and affirmation, openness and freedom,” Fr. Murray said, relativism, despite its quiet air of inevitable reason, leaves us “disarmed just at the moment when we should be armed,” unable to successfully respond to challenges to faith.

“Surely, now is the time for us to hold fast to our Catholic faith and joyfully proclaim it,” he said, adding that that is exactly what Catholic studies programs exist to help people do.

Sotloff, who had dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship, prudently concealed his faith when reporting in the Arab world. And yet it seems to have animated and rooted him, motivating and inspiring him. He seemed to have a deep respect for Arabic and Islamic people and culture. He wanted to help in a land where religious roots run so deep as to be in the blood and ground.

Speaking to an American audience, Fr. Murray cautioned against complacency on these shores. Faith, he said, is not to be merely “accommodated” in a “private spiritual realm.” “It would be a travesty,” he said, if believers “gave up all serious attempts at transforming the world around them.”

As men give their lives for truth, while being sustained by a humble, substantive faith in God, we might consider our own lives and behaviors. What would we die for?

What do we pray for?

These things are not simply for people under the thumb of ISIL. But those who are have certainly given some courageous witness to the power and practice of faith. Even in the midst of such brutality, they prod the rest of us to live lives committed to truth and justice, faith, hope and love, wherever we are, whatever we do.

Kathryn Jean Lopez is senior fellow at the National Review Institute, editor-at-large of National Review Online and founding director of Catholic Voices USA.

Who are we fighting for in the Mideast “We’ve got to win and stop these guys.”

That was Sen. Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, criticizing the Obama administration on CNN as Islamic State fighters (also known as ISIS) gobbled up chunks of Syria and Iraq. His sense of alarm is clearly justified.

The jihadist militants pose a serious threat to a range of American interests, from the security of the homeland to the stability of critical allies like Israel and Turkey.

Even some Democrats were upset with President Obama for not matching Graham’s urgency when he told a press conference “we don’t have a strategy yet” for halting ISIS’ ambitions. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, spoke for many when she suggested on NBC that the president was “maybe, in this instance, too cautious” in his response.

But calling for the defeat of ISIS is the easy part. We know who we’re against in the Middle East. Knowing who we are for is a much more difficult problem.

That question cannot be avoided, however. Recent history has graphically taught us in too many places — Iraq, Libya, Egypt — that deposing a despotic regime is no guarantee that the bad guys will be replaced by a government more friendly to human rights and our core values.

COKIE AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS Columnists

That was the profound mistake made by the Bush administration when it invaded Iraq. Administration officials firmly and naively believed that Saddam Hussein would be replaced by a democratic government that could reconcile warring tribes, sects and ethnicities who had despised each other for centuries.

It was a tragic illusion that cost thousands of American lives and billions of American dollars. But that’s the memory that haunts Obama today.

That’s the question that keeps him so cautious. Who are we for? What forces fill the vacuum when the dictator disappears?

In a revealing interview with Thomas Friedman of the New York Times last month, the president cited the case of Libya as “an example of a lesson I had to learn that still has ramifications to this day.”

Deposing Moammar Gadhafi was “absolutely ... the right thing to do,” he said, because

leaving him in place would have led to “more death, more disruption, more destruction.”

"But what is also true,” Obama continued, “is that I think we (and) our European partners underestimated the need to come in full force if you’re going to do this.” They underestimated how hard it would be “to rebuild societies that didn’t have any civic traditions.”

“So that’s a lesson that I now apply every time I ask the question, ‘Should we intervene militarily?’” he told Friedman.

“Do we have an answer (for) the day after?”

Across the Middle East, there are no good answers to that question. In Iraq, the Shiite-led government of Nouri al-Maliki “squandered an opportunity,” in Obama’s words, to replace Saddam with a regime that respected the nation’s minorities, particularly Kurds and Sunnis. There is some hope that a new post-Maliki government in Baghdad will be more inclusive, but the country remains far from stable.

Moreover, organizing forces to oppose ISIS presents its own risks. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the defeat of the jihadists in the town of Amirli was led by Shiite militias who answer to Muslim clerics, not any civil or military authority.

Accordingly, says the Journal, the strategy of working with these militias “could end up

empowering armed groups who have worked against U.S. interests in the past and whose longer-range political goals may undermine the country’s unity.”

In Syria, Obama told Friedman, it has “always been a fantasy” that the rebels challenging Bashar Assad could ever mount an effective threat to his regime, so sending them arms and advisors would have been a futile gesture.

The only force that does pose a military challenge to Assad is ISIS. But partnering with the jihadists in Syria would be even more dangerous than lining up with the Shiite militias in Iraq.

Almost six years in office tells the president that “maximalist forces” are the deadly enemy of American aspirations. He cites the failure of the Maliki government and says, “That’s, by the way, a broader lesson for every country: You want 100 percent, and the notion that the winner really does take all, all the spoils.

Sooner or later, that government’s going to break down.”

So yes, Obama is a cautious leader; perhaps too cautious.

But he has trouble answering two key questions: Who are we fighting for? What happens the day after the bombing ends?

So caution is justified.

State Husband holed up in man cave leaves his wife out in the cold DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 13 years, and I’m beginning to wonder if my husband still wants to be with me. He gets home before I do and stays in his room watching TV and piddling around on the computer. He never comes out to say hello when I get home; I go in there and greet him. He comes out when I have dinner fixed and then returns to his room.

I understand the “man cave” thing. Everyone needs their time and space, but this has become an everyday routine. I have tried to tell him I feel ignored. The next night he’ll come into the livDEAR ing room and watch TV with me, but I feel he’s doing it o n l y because he feels he should, not because he JEANNE wants to.

PHILLIPS Is this my clue that he doesn’t care about sharing time with me anymore? I don’t want to beg for his attention. — LONELY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR LONELY: It appears that way. You refer to the room in which your husband watches TV and uses his computer as “his” room and not a den. Does he also sleep in there? If that’s the case, and the only time you spend together is at the dinner table, your marriage is in suspended animation.

If what he’s watching on television or his computer has become a substitute for having a relationship with you — and that’s what it appears — you need to find out what happened to the intimacy you once shared.

What you have described is a platonic roommate relationship and not a healthy marriage.

If you want to change the dynamics, you are going to have to have some serious conversations with your husband about what your needs are, and also his. Start now.

DEAR ABBY: My parents immigrated here from a foreign country 20 years ago.

Although they speak some basic English, they have yet to become even remotely fluent in the language. As a result, they are always asking me to do everything for them — pay their bills, file their taxes, go with them to doctors’ appointments, translate for delivery people and take my mom on errands because she doesn’t drive. I am irritated.

When will they learn English? I am the CHILD, not the parent. I feel like I have been a mini-adult for many years as their personal chauffeur, secretary, interpreter, etc. I don’t mind doing occasional favors for them, but enough is enough. What should I do? — BEYOND FRUSTRATED IN CHICAGO DEAR BEYOND FRUSTRATED: I think you should take into consideration that learning a new language is much easier for children than it is for adults. You were immersed in English when you went to school and were exposed to it not only in the classroom but also on the playground. Your parents weren’t so lucky. They should have enrolled in an ESL class right away, but instead apparently interacted only with people who spoke their language.

However, it’s never too late to make an effort, so encourage them to start NOW. A way to persuade them would be to ask them what they would do if, heaven forbid, something happened to you.

Some people who have picked up English did so by watching English language television instead of what's aired in their own.

You are not alone in having this problem. The children of every ethnic group that has come to the United States has experienced what you are.

NW E. coli cases: 2 children die, boy improving

The Associated Press

Ron Bussard, left, and Jim Ray work to carefully remove a section of the last remaining dam on Whychus Creek located on Pine Meadow Ranch in Sisters. The dam removal is part of a long-term effort to restore the native fisheries in the creek.

Dam gets knocked down on Central Oregon stream SISTERS (AP) — Workers are tearing out the last of half a dozen concrete dams on a Central Oregon stream and its tributaries, erasing yet another barrier to the return of imperiled fish to the Deschutes River system.

The work is underway on Whychus Creek near Sisters, on the east flank of the Cascade Range, the Bulletin newspaper reported.

The Whychus is part of the drainage of the Deschutes, Central Oregon’s major river. Salmon and steelhead began returning to the Whychus after a fish tower was installed in the big reservoir along the Deschutes known as Lake Billy Chinook.

The $2 million project on the Whychus includes knocking down a 6-foot dam, with the expectation that will lead to restoration of a flood plain and 13 miles of fish habitat. Because the ranch is switching to a more efficient water delivery system, stream flows are expected to increase.

The dam has provided irrigation water for about three decades to the Pine Meadow Ranch, running through a mile-long canal to its 200 irrigated acres. It is the latest of the structures that has fed irrigation water to the ranch since the late 19th century.

The ranch has already

switched to a pump-fed pivot irrigation system, which pulls water from the creek downstream of the dam.

The new system eliminates the cost of annually maintaining the canal, said Dorro Sokol, president of the ranch.

“We feel actually very lucky to have this work out this way,” she said.

The work began Monday and is expected to last two weeks.

It took about five years to work through alternatives for the project, said Mathias Perle, project manager for the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, a Bend-based restoration group.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A second Northwest child has died after contracting an E. coli infection and a 5year-old boy being treated for E. coli complications remains in critical condition but is reported steadily improving in a Tacoma hospital, authorities said Wednesday.

Health officials and relatives say all three children tested positive for E. coli bacteria.

Brooklyn Hoksbergen, 3, of Lynden in northwest Washington, died Sept. 5 in a Seattle hospital. Whatcom County Health Department health officer Dr. Greg Stern said Wednesday she tested positive for a strain of E. coli known as O157. Additional tests on the bacteria sample are pending.

Stern said he knows of no link between her case and any other cases.

The cases of the hospitalized boy and a 4-year-old Oregon girl who died Monday are believed to be linked. Officials in Lincoln County, have scheduled a news conference today to discuss their E. coli investigation. Relatives say the boy and girl fell ill after both attended the same Labor Day in gathering weekend Lincoln County on the Oregon coast.

Oregon state health officials are also investigating.

Brad Sutton is being treated at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma. He was a friend and playmate of 4-year-old Serena Profitt of Otis. She died Monday evening at a Portland hospital.

The boy’s mother, Elizabeth Sutton, told The Oregonian that her son was infected with E. coli O157:H7.

Serena tested positive for E. coli but no strain was immediately identified, a spokeswoman for Oregon Health & Science University in Portland said earlier.

Brad and Serena shared a turkey sandwich at an Oregon restaurant, his mother said. The two also reportedly swam in a pond together.

Brooklyn Hoksbergen was admitted Sept. 3 to Seattle Children’s Hospital, Whatcom County’s Stern said.

Her father, Rob Hoksbergen, told KING-TV the family doesn’t know how or where she was infected.

She was the youngest of four daughters. No one else in her family is ill.

E. coli is a large family of bacteria and most strains are harmless. The most deadly strain is considered E. coli O157:H7, which became well-known in the early 1990s through a deadly outbreak associated with hamburger meat.

DA won’t prosecute man over warning signs at lake STATE

PORTLAND (AP) — The Washington County District Attorney has dropped charges against a local activist who was cited and fined for bolting homemade warning signs into posts and trees at Hagg Lake where four members of a family drowned last month.

The District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday it won’t prosecute 66-yearold Michael Medill of Gaston after the Washington County government asked the charges be dismissed.

County administrators wrote that Medill’s intent was “to perform a public service” when he posted the signs last weekend warning people about a steep dropoff in the water.

On Monday, the county installed temporary signs warning of the drop-off and was installing permanent signs on Wednesday.

Body found in Silverton barn fire SALEM (AP) — The Oregon state medical exam-

iner’s office is working to identify remains found in a barn fire near Silverton.

The Marion County sheriff’s office says the remains were found last Thursday after the fire was out and investigators started evaluating the scene.

The Statesman Journal reports the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Plea deal in strip club sex trafficking case HILLSBORO (AP) — Prosecutors say the former manager of a Beaverton strip club who has taken a plea deal hired a 13-year-old girl in 2012 to dance nude for customers and have sex with some of them in a back room.

The Oregonian reports that Steven Toth pleaded guilty Tuesday to prostitution, sex abuse and sodomy charges. Sentencing is next week.

Authorities say Victor Moreno-Hernandez was the girl’s pimp, and the two men split profits. The men were to stand trial this week, but a

D I G E S T prosecutor said Toth decided over the weekend to accept a plea bargain.

The girl was a runaway later picked up by the police and admitted to an Arizona residential treatment facility. A counselor there alerted police to the sex trafficking allegations.

Both campaigns said Tuesday that Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber and Republican state Rep. Dennis Richardson will square off Oct. 14. The debate is sponsored by KGW-TV and The Oregonian.

The campaigns had previously agreed to debates Sept.

26 in Bend and the next day in Eugene.

Man shot dead outside apartment complex

EUGENE (AP) — A federal judge says Occupy Eugene demonstrators were improperly evicted two years ago from a downtown Eugene plaza.

Judge Michael McShane ruled Wednesday that General Services Administration officials wrongly restricted protesters’ First Amendment rights when they limited what had been an around-theclock protest outside the Federal Building.

Washington Scientists say the ozone layer is recovering

Reid predicts unity behind Obama’s plan

WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth’s protective ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phaseout since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a U.N. scientific panel reported Wednesday in a rare piece of good news about the health of the planet.

Scientists said the development demonstrates that when the world comes together, it can counteract a brewing ecological crisis.

For the first time in 35 years, scientists were able to confirm a statistically significant and sustained increase in stratospheric ozone, which shields the planet from solar radiation that causes skin cancer, crop damage and other problems.

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the anniversary of the 911 attacks, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid predicted Thursday that lawmakers will put aside pre-election political differences to give President Barack Obama the tools he needs to combat Islamic state militants in the heart of the Middle East.

“Not the least of which is the authority to equip and train Syrian troops to fight these ... evil terrorists,” Reid said, referring to the request Obama made Wednesday in his prime-time address to the nation.

Reid spoke on the Senate floor as House Republican rank and file met privately across the Capitol to plan their response to the president’s request. In the immediate aftermath of

The Associated Press

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, of Nevada, left, talks with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday as Congress honored victims of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, during a “Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Gold Medal Ceremony.”

Obama’s speech on Ohio and Majority Leader for new authority to battle Wednesday night, both Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., forces that have overrun Speaker John Boehner, R- spoke favorably about his call parts of Syria and Iraq and have also beheaded two American journalists whom they had held captive.

Congress is in a brief twoweek pre-election session, and the president’s request is an unexpected addition to what had until recently

seemed a period devoted to domestic issues such as extending government funding beyond the end of the current budget year.

Some House Republicans were already weighing in on Obama’s call for approval to train Syrian rebels.

Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a speech Thursday morning that he supports several elements of Obama’s strategy, including an expansion of airstrikes and training and equipping the rebels.

Obama says he already has the authority he needs to expand airstrikes from Iraq into Syrian terrority, although he did not say in his speech when he would order them launched.

Given the proximity to the elections, it was unclear what the political fallout would be from Obama’s speech.

In his remarks, Reid accused unnamed Republicans of taking “cheap political shots at the president.”

House, Senate debate measures going nowhere WASHINGTON (AP) — The House and Senate are controlled by different political parties, but both are spending time these days on similar paths: debating measures that everyone knows are going nowhere.

Less than two months before pivotal congressional elections, Republicans are set Thursday to muscle legislation through the House that would let insurers keep selling health coverage that falls short of standards required

by President Barack Obama’s

health care law.

Across the Capitol, have been Democrats advancing a constitutional amendment letting lawmakers curb campaign spending and contributions by special interests. They are also pushing a bill aimed at helping women get paid the same as men performing comparable jobs.

None of the measures has a chance of becoming law. But all are sending campaign season messages to each party’s voters and contributors.

Nation Records: Dad accused in killings had nasty divorce LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Timothy Ray Jones Jr. earned his computer engineering degree, worked at a $71,000-ayear job, had a wife of 10 years and several young children.

Then, just over two years ago, he discovered his wife was putting their children to bed in their South Carolina home and going to the neighbor’s house a n d sleeping with the neighb o r ’s 19-yearold son, according to Timothy Jones d ivo rc e Accused p a p e rs.

Jones moved out with the children and seemed friendly to his new neighbors, but began to withdraw to the point where the woman who lived next door thought he and his family had moved away.

Jones and his five children, ages 8, 7, 6, 2 and 1, disappeared two weeks ago, but no one called police for days. And authorities weren’t convinced anything was wrong until they said an intoxicated, agitated Jones was stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Mississippi where officers found him alone, with blood and children’s clothes in his SUV and the stench of death in the air.

FEMA wants at least $5.8M in Sandy aid repaid

BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN AND DAVID B. CARUSO The Associated Press

NEW YORK — After Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast nearly two years ago, the federal government quickly sent out $1.4 billion in emergency disaster aid to the hurricane’s victims.

Now, thousands of people might have to pay back their share.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is scrutinizing about 4,500 households that it suspects received improper payments after the storm, according to program officials and data obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request. As of early September, FEMA had asked around 850 of those households to return a collective $5.8 million. The other cases were still under review.

FEMA’s campaign to recover overpayments, called “recoupment” in agency lingo, typically involves instances where the agency believes a household got more money than allowed under program rules, but not necessarily because of an intentional attempt to cheat the system. Fraud cases are handled separately.

Many people asked to return money were deemed ineligible because their damaged properties were vacation houses or rental properties, not their primary residences. Others had double dipped into the aid pool, with more than one household member getting payments. Some received FEMA money for things later

NATIONAL D I G E S T Man pleads not guilty in tainted steroid case

BOSTON (AP) — A pharmacist who worked for a Massachusetts company blamed for a 2012 deadly nationwide meningitis outbreak has pleaded not guilty.

Glenn Adam Chin entered his plea to a mail fraud charge at a brief hearing Thursday in federal court in Boston.

Chin was arrested last week. Prosecutors say he oversaw the sterile clean rooms at the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, where tainted steroids blamed for the outbreak were made.

Baggage handlers unload an American Eagle jet after it landed at the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Ill. The regional airline industry may soon face the kind of consolidation that thinned the ranks of the largest airlines from eight between 2008 and the end of 2013.

Regional airlines not sharing in majors’ success

BY DAVID KOENIG The Associated Press DALLAS — For passengers traveling between smaller cities and large hub airports, the ticket may say Delta, American or United, but they’re likely flying on a regional airline whose planes are painted in the major carrier’s colors.

This arrangement helps the big airlines pack their planes more cheaply and contributes to recent record profits.

It isn’t as wonderful for the regional airlines, however.

Their profits are shrinking, costs are rising, and they’re having trouble finding enough pilots to work for the salaries they pay.

Consumers should be concerned. Fares could rise as regional airlines are forced to raise pilots’ pay. Aviation experts predict that some regional airlines may fail, which could lead to reduced service at smaller airports.

This week, an airline industry group said that 86 communities — from former hubs such as Cleveland and Memphis to small cities like Dickinson, North Dakota, and Hollis, Alaska — have lost at least 10 percent of their flights since last year.

Regional airlines say the trend will get worse this winter and next year because of a pilot shortage.

About half of all passenger flights in the U.S. are operated by regional airlines. The planes don’t say Republic, SkyWest or Mesa on the side

— they are painted in the colors and logos of brands such as Delta Connection, American Eagle or United Express.

A decade ago, many of the regionals were earning steady profits. That began to change when several of the big airlines went through bankruptcy and rewrote their contracts with regional airlines to cap the small guys’ profit margins.

Regionals that boasted 20 percent profit margins in the late 1990s suddenly had their margins capped at around 12 percent, a level some don’t even reach, says Robert Mann, an airline-industry consultant.

The most successful regional airlines are still making money, but far less.

SkyWest, which earned at least $110 million each year from 2005 through 2008, made just over $50 million each of the past two years.

Republic earned about $80 million a year from 2006 through 2008, but earned just $26.7 million last year. It lost money in 2010 and 2011.

Many regional pilots look to move up to the bigger airlines — and better pay — after a few years. But with recession, the 9-11 attacks, retrenchment at the big airlines, and an increase in the pilot retirement age to 65, it turned into “a lost decade” of career stagnation, says William Sprague, a pilot for American’s Envoy Air subsidiary. He expected to spend five years at a regional; it has turned into 17.

Missouri lawmakers enact 72-hour abortion wait JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers enacted one of the nation’s most stringent abortion waiting periods Wednesday, overriding a veto of legislation that will require women to wait 72 hours after consulting with a doctor before ending a pregnancy.

The vote by Missouri’s Republican-led Legislature overrules the veto of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who had denounced the measure as “extreme and disrespectful” toward women because it contains no exception for cases of rape or incest.

About half of the states, including Missouri, already have abortion waiting periods of 24 hours.

Missouri’s new law will be the second most-stringent behind South Dakota, where its 72-hour wait can sometimes extend even longer because weekends and holidays are not counted. Utah is the only other state with a 72-hour delay, but it grants exceptions for rape, incest and other circumstances.

Missouri lawmakers specifically rejected an amendment earlier this year that would have granted exceptions for rape and incest. Abortion opponents

The Associated Press

Abortion opponents gather April 8 at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City.Already among the leaders in abortion restrictions, Missouri enacted a 72-hour waiting period, one of the nation’s longest mandatory waiting periods for women wanting to terminate a pregnancy. argued that it would have diminished the value of some lives depending on how they were conceived. Supporters of the legislation describe it as a “reflection period” for women and their families.

If “you get a couple of more days to think about this pregnancy, think about where it’s going, you may change your mind” about having an abortion, said Rep. Kathie Conway, a Republican

from St. Charles.

Abortion-rights advocates described the three-day wait as insulting to women who they said have likely already “soul-searching” done before going to an abortion clinic.

“It’s designed to demean and shame a woman in an effort to change her mind,” said Rep. Judy Morgan, a Democrat from Kansas City.

The House voted to over-

ride Nixon’s veto by a 117-44 vote. Senators then deployed a rarely used procedural move to shut off a Democratic filibuster and completed the veto override by a 23-7 vote — barely getting the required two-thirds majority.

Missouri’s new waiting period law will take effect 30 days after the veto-override vote.

Planned Parenthood, which operates Missouri’s only licensed abortion clinic in St. Louis, has not said whether it will challenge the 72-hour waiting period court.

But the organization has said its patients travel an average of nearly 100 miles for an abortion, and an extra delay could force them to either make two trips or spend additional money on hotels.

Women also could travel across the state line in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas to abortion clinics in Illinois and Kansas that don’t require as long of a wait.

Missouri’s current waiting period also lacks an exception for rape or incest. It requires physicians to provide women information about medical risks and alternatives to abortion and offer them an opportunity for an ultrasound of the fetus.

Weekend events This weekend is a good opportunity for everyone to get up to speed on disaster preparedness and wildland fire safety, while having a little family-type fun, as well.

The Coos Forest Protective Association is holding its sixth annual open house Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m., at 63612 Fifth Road in the Bunker Hill district of Coos Bay. John Flannigan, CFPA prevention specialist, said they will have a lot going on for all ages, including displays of fire equipment, tours of the CFPA museum, and information on protecting your home from wildfire.

The CFPA also will be talking about wildland fire safety

at another event a few miles away, as they take part in a disaster preparedness event at the Coos Bay Fire Station on Elrod Avenue.

The city of Coos Bay and the Coos Bay Fire Department have partnered with NW Natural and the American Red Cross to host Get Ready Coos Bay, also Saturday. That event will have representatives from many different community and government groups with information on what you can do, and what you can expect from them during a disaster.

Get Ready Coos Bay runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will have special door prizes for the first 100 people at the fire station.

World Asia arms up to counter growing Chinese might BEIJING (AP) — Vietnam has nearly doubled its military spending, Japan is requesting its biggest-ever defense budget and the Philippines is rushing to piece together a viable navy.

Several Asian nations are arming up, their wary eyes fixed squarely on one country: a resurgent China that’s boldly asserting its territorial claims all along the East Asian coast.

The scramble to spend more defense dollars comes amid spats with China over contested reefs and waters.

Other Asian countries such as India and South Korea are quickly modernizing their forces, although their disputes with China have stayed largely at the diplomatic level.

Asian countries now account for about half of the world’s arms imports, with China leading the way by quadrupling its annual military budget over the past decade. The growth in military spending has largely kept pace with economic expansion, although it’s been pulling ahead in China, Vietnam and several other countries this year.

EU slaps new sanctions on Russia BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has decided to slap new economic sanctions on Russia over what it sees as Moscow’s meddling in eastern Ukraine, diplomats said Thursday.

The sanctions will further curb access to European capital markets for Russian banks and firms — specifically targeting the country’s vital oil industry — limit exports of certain The Associated Press high-technology goods and In this undated file image posted by the Raqqa Media Center of the Islamic State group June 30, which has target more officials with been verified and is consistent with other AP reporting, shows fighters from the al-Qaida linked Islamic State travel bans and asset of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, during a parade with a missile in Raqqa, Syria. freezes, diplomats told The Associated Press in Brussels.

The sanctions will take effect Friday following their publication in the EU’s official journal but will be reversible if the situation in eastern Ukraine improves, four diplomats said independently. They spoke on condition of anonymity pending the official announcement.

Russia’s stock market and its currency tumbled on the news. Russia’s benchmark MICEX, which was rising Thursday morning, declined 0.7 percent after the report.

The Russian ruble fell to an all-time low of 37.51 rubles against the U.S. dollar.

Syria, Iran slam US strategy Judge: Pistorius can’t be in fighting militants found guilty of murder

BY ALBERT AJI AND ZEINA KARAM The Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian and Iranian officials criticized the Obama administration on Thursday for excluding them from an international coalition coming together in the battle against the Islamic State group, while a state-run Syrian daily warned that unauthorized U.S. airstrikes on Syria may trigger the “first sparks of fire” in the region.

The strongest reaction, however, came from Russia, Syrian President Bashar Assad’s

main international ally. A Russian Foreign Ministry statement said such military action without a U.N. Security Council resolution “would be an act of aggression and flagrant violation of international law.”

Syria’s main Western-backed opposition group, meanwhile, welcomed Obama’s firstever authorization of U.S. airstrikes in Syria, saying it stands “ready and willing” to partner with the international community to defeat the militants.

But the Syrian National Coalition said that airstrikes need to be coupled with a strategy for ultimately toppling Assad.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — The judge in Oscar Pistorius’ trial ruled out a murder conviction for the double-amputee Olympian Thursday in the shooting death of his girlfriend but said he was negligent, raising the possibility he’ll be convicted of culpable homicide.

The verdict in the case that has riveted much of South Africa and the world is

expected on Friday when Judge Thokozile Masipa reconvenes the judgment phase, climaxing the trial that began in March.

If Pistorius is acquitted of murder, he could still be sent to jail for a maximum of 15 years if convicted of culpable homicide or negligent killing, although five years in prison is a guideline when a firearm is used.

Small schools take the spotlight

A look at this week’s games Friday North Bend at Cottage Grove Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: K-Light (98.7 FM) Outlook: Most years, this would be a marquee matchup, and it’s certainly a date the Bulldogs have been looking forward to.

Cottage Grove beat North Bend three times in the past two years, inculding knocking the Bulldogs out of the Class 4A playoffs in the semifinals last year. This year, the Bulldogs appear to be clear favorites with a veteran group of seniors leading the way. North Bend dismantled North Valley in the season opener last week, while Cottage Grove fell at home to Marshfield, North Bend’s Bay Area rival.

Marshfield at Sutherlin Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KMHS (91.3 FM) Outlook: The Pirates are riding the momentum of their win over Cottage Grove and will look to keep it alive against their former Far West League foes. Sutherlin has moved into the SkyEm League this fall, and lost its season opener to Class 3A power Scio last week. Last year, Sutherlin was one of the two teams the Pirates beat last year in their first season in Class 4A and another win over the Bulldogs on Friday would be a big boost for this year’s squad.

Myrtle Point at Coquille Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KSHR (97.3 FM) Outlook: The Coquille Valley rivals have their annual meeting early this year, since they again are in separate leagues — Myrtle Point in the new-look Sunset Conference and Coquille in the new Class 3A Mountain Valley League. The Bobcats had an impressive win over Riddle in their opener, though the Red Devils will be a huge step up in competition.

Coquille lost at Gold Beach last week in a game that was close until the fourth quarter.

Reedsport at Amity Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Braves were dominant in their opening win against Neah-Kah-Nie last week, but expect a much bigger test from Amity, traditionally one of the stronger programs in the Class 3A West Valley League. Reedsport will need another good game from new quarterback Tyler Tresch and his athletic playmakers, as well as a strong defensive effort from the squad. This is the second of three straight road games to open the season for the Braves.

Gold Beach at Vernonia Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KGBR (92.7 FM) Outlook: The Panthers are used to long trips in the preseason, and this one is no exception.

The schools are located nearly 340 miles apart by car. Gold Beach is coming off a good win over Coquille in the initial game of new head coach Justin Storns. Vernonia, meanwhile, was shut out by Warrenton.

Siuslaw at Scio Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KCST (106.9 FM) Outloook: The Vikings crushed Newport in their season opener, but now face a challenge from a smaller-division school. Last year, the Vikings beat the Class 3A Loggers by three scores, but Scio, which traditionally has been a tough program, opened this season with an impressive win over Sutherlin.

Brookings-Harbor at Illinois Valley Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KURY (95.3 FM) Outlook: The Bruins lost their season opener to Phoenix last week, but will try to bounce back against the Cougars, who play a division down at the Class 3A level. Illinois Valley already got its first taste of the Far West League, beating Douglas last week.

Saturday Pemberton at Bandon Time: 4 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Tigers host the Canadian squad in the annual Cranberry Bowl. Bandon hopes to build off the momentum the Tigers got during their season-opening win over Rogue River a week ago. Bandon unveiled its new spread offense with a flourish as quarterback Quentin Coomer passed for seven touchdowns without an interception. The game is part of the weekend-long Cranberry Festival.

Powers vs. Yoncalla Time: 6 p.m.

Location: North Bend High School Outlook: The game is part of a doubleheader termed the 8-Man Football Showcase on the South Coast. The first game features North Douglas and Elkton, kicking off at 3 p.m. The nightcap could be a high-scoring affair as Powers tries to bounce back from last week’s overtime loss to North Douglas. While the Cruisers were coming up just short, Yoncalla rolled up 70 points in a win over Elkton. Though all four teams are part of the same league for the other team sports, they are split into two separate districts for football, meaning the game won’t count toward the league standings.

Hutton, Campbell take titles

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

LAKESIDE — Bandon freshman Sailor Hutton was running her first high school race. Siuslaw senior Seth Campbell was running his first race without older, faster teammates.

The two took home the individual titles in the North Bend Invitational cross country meet at Tugman State Park on Wednesday.

The annual meet was a showcase of all the programs on the South Coast. In the past, it also has been a preview for the Far West League district meet, but that event will be held in Brookings this fall after several years at the Tugman course.

The depth of the league showed in the boys race. Campbell pulled away from Brookings-Harbor’s Chris Burton over the final mile to win, finishing the 5,000-meter course in 16 minutes and 12 seconds.

“I’m pretty happy,” said Campbell, who was close to his personal best for the course in his first meet of the season. “It was good to go against the top guys from our league. It will be fun to see how they progress during the season.”

Siuslaw has dominated the boys portion of the league for sev-

Often, quality runners have not advanced to state because only the top two teams and top five individuals — frequently almost all Siuslaw runners — qualify for the championships.

Wednesday, Burton was second in 16:32, followed by Marshfield’s Sawyer Heckard (16:41), North Bend’s Michael Brown (16:43) and Marshfield’s Colby Gillett (16:48).

Marshfield took the team title,

with Dakota Pittullo eighth, John Hampton ninth and Ian Emlet 12th.

Heckard said he was excited about his team’s performance.

“We’re looking pretty good,” he said, adding that the Pirates have a goal of winning the state title.

As for the district meet in late October, they are focused on beating Siuslaw and North Bend, which was second in the team race Wednesday.

Altuve gets milestone against Seattle SEATTLE (AP) — Looking to take some pressure off himself while trying to reach the 200-hit mark, Jose Altuve just focused on helping his team win. He accomplished both.

Altuve, hitless in seven at-bats in the first two games of the series, had two hits to reach the milestone and drove in a run as the Houston Astros beat Seattle 5-2 Wednesday night, damaging the Mariners’ postseason chances.

“I got to admit I was trying to get 200 hits,” Altuve he said. “So I came in today and said to myself, just win the game and not think 200 hits. And we did.”

And he did, too.

Altuve had a RBI double in the fifth and a single in the seventh for his league-leading 200th hit. He is the second Astros player to accomplish the feat, joining Craig Biggio — who set the franchise record of 210 in 1998.

“I feel real happy,” Altuve said.

“We won this game, I got 200 hits

The Associated Press

Houston’s Jose Altuve follows through on his 200th hit of the season, a single that helped the Astros beat the Mariners on Wednesday. and the team is playing great.

Couldn’t ask for more.”

He reached the mark in his 146th game — the fastest since

Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki reached 200 in 144th games in 2009.

COOS BAY — The Oregon Southwestern Community College Men’s soccer team has started the season 2-3 under the guidance of new head coach Dan Thibault.

Thibault’s squad started the season 2-0, but has dropped its past three games.

“I try not to — in a first year when I pick up a program — gauge success by wins and losses but by small, incremental improvement by the guys both individually and as a team,” Thibault explained.

“Every season has positives and negatives. I think the positives

have outweighed the negatives.”

Thibault moved to the Bay Area to start a family last year, with a plan of taking a full year off coaching, and frankly not knowing if he’d ever coach collegiately. When Ray Fabien stepped down last year, Thibault — who had previously coached men’s and women’s teams at Biola University and Houston Baptist University — was hired by Lakers athletic director Mike Herbert the first week of January.

Since then, he’s been trying to build up his players to his standard.

Thibault has a list of things he wants to see out of his players.

He’d need them to adhere to his system, mold to the college speed

out of high school, start to understand and meet the specific expectations Thibault has for them, improve their fitness and sharpen their vision around the ball.

“They’re just getting better,” Thibault said plainly.

In the past three games, SWOCC has exhibited some of its best play in close loses, according to Thibault.

He said the Lakers’ last match, a 2-1 loss to Spokane, was their best so far.

Both Spokane goals came from turnovers deep in the backfield that led to one-on-ones and eventual goals.

If you’ve ever wanted to get a close look at eight-man football, but haven’t had a chance to drive to Powers where the South Coast’s only eight-man team plays, this weekend is your golden opportunity.

Powers will be at North Bend High School on Saturday, along with Yoncalla, Elkton and North Douglas, for the 8-Man Football Showcase on the South Coast.

If the 11-man game is more your style and you want to see a wide-open passing offense, head to Bandon for the annual Cranberry Bowl, where the Tigers will battle a team from Canada.

It’s a rare Saturday when there are multiple attractive games on the South Coast. And there are no college conflicts, since Oregon plays Wyoming at 11 a.m. and Oregon State has a bye.

Eight-man SPORTS football can be an entertaining affair. If you haven’t seen it and love football, you should put it on your bucket list.

On Saturday, Elkton meets North Douglas JOHN at 3 p.m., folG UNTHER lowed by Powers and Yoncalla at 6. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students to see four solid programs.

“Yoncalla, North Douglas and us, we’re pretty competitive,” said Powers Principal Matt Shorb, who put together the showcase. “Elkton was a playoff team last year.”

Last week, North Douglas edged Powers 26-20 in overtime while Yoncalla pulled away in the second half to beat Elkton 76-44.

The South Coast event is patterned somewhat after the popular two-day Dufur Classic.

Shorb credits Camas Valley coach Eli Wolfe with coming up with the concept.

Wolfe wanted to hold an event at Roseburg High School, but that facility wasn’t available, so Shorb talked to North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester.

“It’s going to be a unique opportunity for kids at schools this size,” Shorb said. “They don’t normally get an opportunity to play at a facility like North Bend.”

Ironically, Camas Valley isn’t able to attend this week’s event.

The Hornets are playing Lowell this week, but Lowell didn’t want to give up its home game after traveling to Dufur, Shorb said.

“Camas Valley wanted to do it,” Shorb said. “Lowell didn’t want to do it.

“It’s still going to be a great day, but it would have been even better to have Camas Valley and Lowell here.”

Forrester is among the people looking forward to the event.

“I think it’s a neat deal,” he said. “I think it’s a great opportunity for people in the Bay Area to come see eight-man football.”

Forrester hasn’t seen a game since he was coaching North Bend’s middle school team back in the 1990s and lost to a Powers squad led by Ike Ellis, who went on to lead Powers to three straight high school titles.

Shorb hopes Saturday isn’t a one-time deal.

“We hope it’s a great success,” he said. “I hope next year I’ve got teams that are calling me wanting to play in it.”

While the future of the eightman event is not guaranteed, there’s no doubt the Cranberry Bowl will be a fixture on Bandon’s calendar next year, and in the future.

This year, the Tigers welcome the Canadian squad, from Pemberton, British Columbia.

People who come to the game might be treated to an extra-long contest for their admission ($5 for adults and $3 for students).

After all, with Bandon’s wideopen passing attack, frequent clock stoppages are to be expected.

Last week, in the Tigers’ win over Rogue River, Bandon quarterback Quentin Coomer had seven touchdown passes.

There’s no guarantee, of course, that Coomer will have a day like that Saturday.

But it should be entertaining for all the fans.

Just like the showcase at North Bend.

McIlroy seeks another prize ATLANTA (AP) — Rory McIlroy always thought his big year deserved a big finish. The Tour Championship is his last chance.

McIlroy already has won a pair of majors — the British Open and PGA Championship — sandwiched around a World Golf Championship. He is back to No. 1 in the world and is assured of being there for at least the next two months. He already has wrapped up another PGA Tour money title.

About the only item McIlroy doesn’t have is the FedEx Cup. “After I finished the PGA, all my focus was on the FedEx Cup and trying to win this,” McIlroy said Wednesday.

The trophy — not to mention the $10 million bonus — is up for grabs this week at East Lake.

McIlroy didn’t come close to winning the previous three FedEx Cup playoff events, though that never mattered. He is the No. 4 seed going into the Tour Championship, and the top five seeds only have to win the tournament to claim the FedEx Cup. “Anything other than a win there would be a disappointment,” he said.

From Page B1

The Associated Press

Top-ranked Rory Mcllroy can complete his big summer by winning the FedEx Cup this week.

McIlroy could win the FedEx Cup without winning the tournament, though recent history would not be on his side. Five of the seven FedEx Cup champions — including the last four — have all won the Tour Championship.

The good news for McIlroy?

It might be the easiest tournament for him to win all year.

“I only have to beat 28 other guys,” he said.

The 29-man field at East Lake is the smallest for the Tour Championship since the FedEx Cup began in 2007. Dustin Johnson is at No. 30, even though he has taken a “voluntary leave” to seek help for “personal challenges” and has not played since the Canadian Open

six weeks ago.

There are no alternates in the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Also missing are Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. This is the first time since 2006 that neither has been at East Lake, and the first time since 1992 that golf’s two biggest stars didn’t qualify for the Tour Championship. Mickelson had been a pro for only four months.

Woods was still in high school.

Mickelson failed to win on the PGA Tour for the first time since 2003 and did not qualify for the top 30. Woods missed three months with back surgery and endured more back problems when he returned and didn’t qualify for any playoff event.

McIlroy was not ready to call that a generational shift just yet.

He had two close encounters with Mickelson this year — they shared second place in Abu Dhabi and McIlroy beat him by one shot at the PGA Championship.

“Phi has played well in parts this year,” he said. “I feel like he’s gotten a little better as the year has went on. ... Tiger is not here just because he’s been injured, or he is injured. He hasn’t had the opportunity to play. But I think if he gets back, and when he gets back to full fitness, you’ll see him back here again. They’re just getting older. They’re getting into the last few holes of their career. And that’s what happens.”

Wie returns for final major of LPGA season EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — Michelle Wie returns to action at the Evian Championship eyeing both a second career major title and an inaugural award named after retired Swedish great Annika Sorenstam.

She needs to get up to speed quickly following a finger injury, in the face of stiff competition.

The new Rolex Annika Major honors the player with the best

overall record in the five majors this season. Wie, the U.S. Women’s Open champion, leads the Annika standings with 84 points going into the last major of the year.

But she has been out for nearly five weeks and missed four tournaments due to a stress reaction on her right index finger, forcing her withdrawal from the Meijer Classic early last month.

“I was in a splint for two weeks, and then the third week I tried to wean off of it, tried to move it around. I just started really putting and chipping last week, and started hitting balls (four) days ago,” Wie said.

“Hopefully I won’t play with Lexi (Thompson) and she won’t outdrive me by 50 yards.”

Thompson, who beat Wie to win the Kraft Nabisco, and former Evian champion Inbee Park

of South Korea, are also in contention for the Annika award.

Park goes for back-to-back majors after defending her title at the LPGA Championship, and is 10 points behind Wie, while Thompson is 16 adrift.

With a win worth 60 points, others, including defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway and top-ranked Stacy Lewis of the United States, can overtake Wie.

The Lakers gave up a goal in the first 15 seconds and earned a penalty kick, only to miss converting.

Thibault said they kept battling and had a 50-yard run form midfielder Juan Martinez in the 85th minute, assisted by Moises Manon.

“Those two things back-to back are usually very demoralizing for a team but they kept fighting,” Thibault said, adding that Spokane should compete for the East Region title.

“They were no lightweight opponent.”

Thibault has been impressed by both his sophomore goalkeepers, Juan Gonzalez and Corey Hogan, who are splitting time. Thibault is waiting “for one to beat the other out.”

Sophomore captain Zach Barker, a North Bend graduate, is Thibault’s only returning defender. He’s had to learn a new system, with four fullbacks on defense instead of three and a sweeper. Barker has been pushing his teammates to learn and has been an asset for Thibault in teaching his new system. No one on the team has played it before, and it cut the field into thirds instead of halves, which means more intense running for shorter distance.

Incoming freshmen at skill positions like Martinez and Manon are still adjusting to college speed and getting better with every game.

“The transition’s still happening but it’s increasing,” Thibault said “They keep pushing forward.”

Andrew Porter, a Pacific High school graduate, was a projected redshirt but is now coming off the bench and playing 10-15 minutes.

Sophomores Thorin Tucker, Perrison Saydee and Luis Hernandez have all been vital as leaders.

Thibault’s No. 1 priority, though, is having his entire team pass all their classes. Thibault has graduated 90 percent of his athletes during his career, and he doesn’t want that number to change.

“I want to see them keep to improve in their personal discipline,” Thibault said. “The biggest hindrance to all these guys is that they all have goals, but all lack personal disincline to attain those goals. I’d love to see personal discipline root itself into their life and build good habits.”

The Laker men’s team will play again Friday at Walla Walla in a league game.

WOMEN The SWOCC women have been going through some early season struggles, saddled with an 0-4-1 to start their season.

The Lakers have only scored three times in five games, with Sadie Bailey accounting for two goals. Alyssa Gamboa has the other.

Goalie Taylor Baughman has 43 saves in the past three games.

The Lakers visit Walla Walla on Friday and Columbia Basin on Saturday in a pair of league games.

Sports TUGMAN

Bengal plays for daughter CINCINNATI (AP) — Defensive tackle Devon Still got the early morning call from an assistant coach while he was still asleep. Could he come to Paul Brown Stadium and discuss adding him back onto the Bengals’ active roster?

“They told me when I get a chance to make it over to the stadium,” Still said. “I rolled right out of bed and made it over about 5 minutes later before they changed their minds.”

After four months of recovering from injury and anguishing over his daughter, Still was all the way back on Wednesday. The Bengals promoted him from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, convinced that he’s ready to resume his role as part of their defensive line rotation.

It’s been a tough road back.

Still’s 4-year-old daughter, Leah, was diagnosed with cancer and has been getting chemotherapy treatments since June. He had trouble focusing on football during training camp because he was so concerned about his daughter.

Also, he pulled a hamstring in the second preseason game. The Bengals put the second-round pick from 2012 on the practice squad to open the season, allowing him to keep his medical coverage.

Still’s story got national attention.

When the Bengals decided on Monday to donate proceeds from his jersey sales to Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati and pediatric cancer care and research, the No. 75 jersey quickly became the team’s top seller.

Team spokesman Jeff Berding said more than 1,000 jerseys — at $100 apiece — had been ordered in less

Cincinnati defensive tackle Devon Still has been moved up to the active roster for the Bengals, part of a comeback that includes caring for his young daughter fighting cancer. than 48 hours. The team also posted a link on its website for those who want to donate to the cause without buying a jersey.

“I was amazed,” Still said on Wednesday. “I was shocked. Just the fact that it sold more in 24 hours than any Bengals jersey, it shows how much the world of sports has an impact on what’s going on in this world.”

Still’s hamstring has healed. It’s unclear whether he’ll be active on Sunday when the Bengals (1-0) have their home opener against Atlanta (10).

Coach Marvin Lewis spent time

with Still on the team’s day off Tuesday trying to gauge whether he was ready mentally to resume his role.

“He’s been a great father,” Lewis said. “He’s done everything he can to be a part of the football team. He’s got himself back again healthy. Last week was a good week for him just to clear his mind and have an opportunity to spend time. We’ll continue to allow him to do what he needs to do as far as attending to her care because it’s important.

“I said ‘Where are you? Are you ready to do this again?’ And he was, so that’s good.”

Nick Hossley was sixth overall for the Bulldogs and North Bend had three more runners — completing their team scoring, which includes each squad’s five best finishers — ahead of Siuslaw’s third finisher. Alberto Ramirez-Garcia, Noah Graber and George LaGesse finished together in 15th through 17th place Wednesday.

Brookings-Harbor was third in the team race, followed by the Vikings.

Campbell expects his team to improve dramatically during the season.

“The further along the season goes, we’re going to get better,” he said, pointing out that Marshfield won the North Bend meet last year, too, only to see the Vikings win the district title.

Siuslaw did win the girls title Wednesday, overcoming tough challenges from both North Bend and Bandon.

The individual race came down to the final stretch, when Hutton sprinted past Siuslaw’s Celie Mans to win in 19:39.

Mans was timed in 19:43.

Hutton let Mans set the pace through the final two miles.

“Dad told me to run 6:08 for the first mile and I hit that right on,” Hutton said of her father and coach, Brent. “I didn’t know what to do the rest of the way. I just followed Celie.”

Mans, a sophomore, knows Hutton from racing against her when they were in middle school, and said she wasn’t disappointed to lose in the final stretch.

“It was fine,” Mans said. “It’s all a process. The process is the goal.

“It’s early in the season.”

North Bend’s Gabby Hobson was third, finishing in 20:10.

She was followed by Bandon’s

Aida Santoro (20:38), Gold Beach freshman Avi Gustafson (20:42) and Coquille’s Anna Sweeney (21:35).

North Bend and Bandon were in better shape than Siuslaw in terms of scoring for the first two miles of the race, but several Vikings passed multiple runners in the final mile.

Mikaela Siegel and Courtney K ing finished seventh and eighth and Kennedy Pendergrass was 11th.

That enabled the Vikings to overcome the balanced North Bend group and Bandon, which also placed three runners in the top 10 with Sarah Cutler crossing the line 10th.

Hailey Finnigan was ninth for North Bend, which also had Janelle LeBlanc in 12th, Megan Rutherford in 13th and Alissa McCord in 15th.

When the runners from the incomplete teams were removed from the scoring, Siuslaw finished with 35 points, to 41 for North Bend and 47 for Bandon.

Hobson, who is juggling three sports this fall — she also plays soccer and is a kicker for North Bend’s football team — said she was impressed with her teammates.

“I’m real excited,” she said of North Bend’s chances.

As for her own effort, Hobson said she was pleased, especially since she hasn’t been able to focus as much time as she’d like on cross country training.

“I wanted to stick with Celie as long as I could,” she said. “I stuck with her a while.”

North Bend and Marshfield will compete at the BrookingsHarbor Invitational on Saturday to familiarize themselves with the district course.

Several of the teams at Wednesday’s meet also will compete in the Bandon Invitational at Bullards Beach State Park next Tuesday.

NFL will review investigation THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his thenfiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, while Commissioner Roger Goodell has insisted the league didn’t see the violent images until this week.

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: “You’re right. It’s terrible.”

Hours after the report, Goodell announced former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III will conduct a probe into how the league pursued and handled evidence as it investigated claims against Rice.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement that the investigation will be overseen by owners John Mara of the New York Giants and Art Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Goodell said that Mueller will have access to all NFL records and will have full cooperation from league personnel.

The law enforcement official said he had no further communication with any NFL employee and can’t confirm anyone watched the video. The person said he was unauthorized to release the video but shared it unsolicited, because he wanted the NFL to have it before deciding on Rice’s punishment.

Meanwhile, Members of Congress from both parties questioned NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of the incident.

Twelve Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent Goodell a letter calling for greater transparency from the NFL, and Republican Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada said Goodell had not acted swiftly enough to punish Rice.

The letters by Heller and the House Democrats both state that the NFL’s prominence gives the league a special obligation to forcefully address issues of domestic violence.

Abraham, in his 15th NFL season, has five days under NFL rules before the Cardinals must either reinstate him or declare him out for the season.

He missed nearly all of training camp to, as he later confirmed, undergo rehabilitation treatment for an alcohol problem.

The rehab stint came after he was arrested in suburban Atlanta and charged with drunken driving.

NBA Hawks cancel meeting with civil rights leaders ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks cancelled a scheduled meeting between their CEO and city civil rights leaders, prompting one of the group’s leaders to say his community was greatly offended.

The Rev. Markel Hutchins said the meeting with CEO Steve Koonin was called off “at the last minute.” He later said he received a call from Hawks spokesman Garin Narain on Tuesday night asking the appointment be postponed.

Hutchins said he needed to hear that request from Koonin, and because Koonin didn’t personally cancel the meeting, the group of 12 civil rights leaders showed up as planned. When they entered Philips Arena and were told there would be no meeting, Hutchins and the other leaders said they were insulted.

HOCKEY Koivu retires after 18 seasons in the NHL ANAHEIM, Calif. — Saku Koivu retired after an 18-year NHL career with the Anaheim Ducks and the Montreal Canadiens.

The four-time Finnish Olympic medalist and cancer survivor announced his decision through the NHL players’ association. The Ducks decided they wouldn’t attempt to re-sign Koivu earlier in the summer.

The 39-year-old Koivu spent his first 13 NHL seasons with Montreal, becoming the first European-born captain in the Original Six franchise’s history in 1999.

He signed with the Ducks in 2009, playing five seasons on the West Coast before joining longtime friend Teemu Selanne in retirement.

GOLF Couples will host his SANTA CLARA, Calif. — own radio talk show

Broadcaster suspended for comments on Rice

The San Francisco 49ers suspended veteran broadcaster Ted Robinson for the next two games following comments this week on a San Francisco radio station about the Ray Rice domestic violence case that were deemed insensitive.

The Pac-12 Networks also announced it had suspended Robinson for the next two weeks and that he would undergo sensitivity training.

The 57-year-old Robinson spoke while co-hosting on KNBR radio Monday and said Rice’s now-wife, Janay, was partly to blame for not speaking up.

Cardinals LB Abraham considers retirement TEMPE, Ariz. — Outside linebacker John Abraham has left the Arizona Cardinals and is considering retiring from the game.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said on Wednesday that Abraham, the game’s active sacks leader and ninth on the NFL’s career list with 1 133 ⁄2, has been granted a leave of absence. The team obtained a roster exemption, using it to re-sign linebacker Marcus Benard.

The 36-year-old Abraham sustained a concussion in Monday night’s 18-17 season-opening victory over San Diego. But Arians said he had a long talk with Abraham on Tuesday and the concussion was not the main reason the player was considering leaving the game.

Arians said that while Abraham goes through the NFL-mandated concussion protocol, he “will determine if he wants to continue playing football, whether his heart’s still in it and he has the fire and desire to do it.”

ATLANTA — Fred Couples has been talking sports for 20 years at PGA Tour events. Now he can do it as host of his own radio show.

“The Fred Couples Show” will debut on SiriusXM PGA Tour on Sept. 25, the night before the Ryder Cup begins.

Along with being a Masters champion, former No. 1 player in the world and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, Couples is a renowned sports junkie.

It is not unusual for Couples to talk sports — NFL trades, hockey playoffs, pennant races — between shots while he’s warming up at golf tournaments. He said one of his caddies asked him this year, “Do you do this every week? How do you get anything done?”

“I just go guy to guy and talk shop,” Couples said.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS School changes mascot to the Mighty Arabs THERMAL, Calif. — A Southern California high school has changed its nickname from the Arabs to the Mighty Arabs and has adopted a logo with a nobler image, school officials announced Wednesday.

The Coachella Valley Unified School District governing board unanimously adopted the changes in a closed-session meeting Tuesday night after months of pressure from ArabAmerican anti-discrimination groups.

Officials at Coachella Valley High School consulted with Arab-American groups in getting rid of the scowling, hook-nosed image in the old logo and adopting the more stoic face in the new one.

The Associated Press

Kansas City’s Alex Gordon (4), Jarrod Dyson (1) and Lorenzo Cain (6) celebrate their 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.

Royals reclaim lead in AL Central THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — James Shields allowed two hits over seven innings in another terrific performance, and the Kansas City Royals edged Detroit 3-0 on Wednesday night to take a one-game lead over the Tigers atop the AL Central.

Shields (14-7) gave up a single to Ian Kinsler leading off the first. Then he picked off Kinsler — and retired every other batter he faced until another Detroit single in the seventh. The Tigers MLB put two on that inning, but Shields Recap worked out of the jam.

Kelvin Herrera pitched the eighth and Wade Davis finished for his third save.

Rick Porcello (15-11) pitched well for the Tigers, but Kansas City pushed across two runs in the fourth on RBI singles by Salvador Perez and Lorenzo Cain.

Alcides Escobar added a sacrifice fly in the ninth.

Angels 8, Rangers 1: Albert Pujols opened the scoring with his first triple in more than four years, rookie Matt Shoemaker had another strong start, and the Angels beat the Rangers.

The AL West-leading Angels (9055), who are nine games up on Oakland after the A’s lost at the Chicago White Sox, were the first team in the majors to 90 wins with their season-high seventh straight victory.

Shoemaker (15-4) set a franchise rookie record for victories by winning his sixth straight decision.

White Sox 2, Athletics 1: Avisail Garcia drove in two runs with a basesloaded single in the eighth inning, and the White Sox beat the struggling Athletics.

The Athletics were in line for the win after Jeff Samardzija threw seven scoreless innings, and Adam Dunn singled in a run against his former team.

Instead, they lost for the 10th time in 13 games because the bullpen failed again to protect a lead. It was the third time in four games that the Athletics’ bullpen blew a lead.

Orioles 10, Red Sox 6: Wei-Yin Chen (15-4) pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning and the Orioles beat the Red Sox for a three-game sweep.

Caleb Joseph homered and drove in three runs and Ryan Flaherty got a career-high four hits as Baltimore won for the 11th time in 14 games.

Yankees 8, Rays 5: Mark Teixeira made up for a botched foul pop in the Rays’ four-run first inning with a goahead triple in the fifth, Brian McCann homered and drove in three runs, and the Yankees used their biggest comeback of the season to beat Tampa Bay. The Yankees entered 51⁄2 games out of a playoff spot with 20 remaining, and they did not get off to a good start.

Teixeira overran leadoff batter Ben Zobrist’s foul ball behind first base for no play. Zobrist then singled for his 1,000th career hit. Five of the next six Rays reached before Chris Capuano was lifted in the shortest start of his career.

By the end of the 30-minute top of the first, New York trailed 4-0.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Dodgers 4, Padres 0: Dan Haren (13-10) tossed seven sharp innings to give the Dodgers four pitchers with 13 wins for the first time in 29 years, and Los Angeles beat the Padres.

Haren joined Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Zack Greinke as the first quartet with at least that many wins since Orel Hershiser, Fernando Valenzuela, Jerry Reuss and Bob Welch in 1985.

Carl Crawford had a season-high four hits, including three doubles, and Hanley Ramirez and Juan Uribe added RBI singles as the Dodgers finished 12-7 against San Diego this season.

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 0: Four pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout and Gregor Blanco had an RBI double as part of a four-run seventh inning that sent the Giants to a win over the Diamondbacks.

The Giants remained 2 1⁄ 2 games behind the first-place Dodgers in the NL West.

Braves 6, Nationals 2: Aaron Harang (11-10) outdueled Stephen Strasburg (11-11), Justin Upton drove in three runs and the Atlanta Braves avoided a series sweep in Washington with a win over the Nationals.

The Braves snapped a three-game losing streak as Harang held the NL East leaders to one unearned run over seven innings. Upton’s RBI single in the sixth broke a 1-all tie, and he added a two-run double off reliever Ryan Mattheus during a three-run seventh.

Pirates 6, Phillies 3: Andrew McCutchen hit the first inside-thepark home run of his career and the Pittsburgh Pirates protected their lead in the NL wild-card race, beating Philadelphia.

Pittsburgh has won six of seven.

Pittsburgh trailed 3-2 in the fifth inning when McCutchen hit a ball off the wall in straightaway center field.

The ball ricocheted toward the alley in right-center, and McCutchen scored standing up. Russell Martin homered into the center-field seats later in the inning.

Reds 4, Cardinals 2: Alfredo Simon (14-10) shook off a rough start but lasted seven innings and drove in the go-ahead run with the second of his two doubles as the Reds rallied for a win over the Cardinals.

Ryan Ludwick hit a solo home run to help the Reds win back-to-back games for the first time since Aug. 27-28 against the Chicago Cubs.

Brewers 4, Marlins 1: Rookie Matt Clark hit his first career home run, Wily Peralta pitched into the seventh inning, and the Brewers beat the Marlins.

Peralta (16-10) gave up one earned run and five hits in 6 2-3 innings to help Milwaukee snap a four-game losing streak and win for just the second time in its last 15 games. The righthander also had an RBI for the Brewers, who remained 1 1⁄ 2 games behind Pittsburgh for the second wild-card spot.

Francisco Rodriguez got the last three outs to reach 40 saves for the fifth time in his career.

Mets 2, Rockies 0: Rafael Montero earned his first major league win, Eric Young Jr. went 3-for-3 with an RBI triple and the suddenly surging Mets beat the Rockies for their fourth consecutive victory.

Montero (1-3) returned from the minors and allowed three hits over 5 13 innings in his seventh big league start. Juan Lagares had a sacrifice fly for the Mets, who have won seven of eight.

INTERLEAGUE Blue Jays 11, Cubs 1: Drew Hutchison (10-11) matched his careerhigh with 10 strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings, Dioner Navarro had two hits and two RBIs, and the Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep with a win over the Cubs.

Jorge Soler’s seventh-inning homer provided the only run for the Cubs, who matched a season-worst with their sixth straight loss. At 64-82, they are ensured of a fifth straight losing season.

It is the first time they have had five consecutive seasons below .500 since six straight from 1978-83.

Yankees weigh options with Tanaka NEW YORK (AP) — Injured Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka is going to face minor leaguers in a simulated game Monday in what may be the final step of his rehabilitation from a partially torn elbow ligament.

New York manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday that Tanaka felt good a day after a simulated game at Yankee Stadium. If all goes smoothly in Tampa, Fla., the Japanese All-Star could next pitch in the major leagues for the first time since July 8. That start

could come in the Bronx against Toronto on Sept. 20 or 21.

The Yankees want Tanaka to test his arm against big league hitters to assess their decision to have the 25-yearold right-hander forgo ligament replacement surgery

and instead try rest and therapy. Tommy John surgery is the common treatment for the injury and recovery time is usually 1218 months.

Tanaka is 12-4 with a 2.51 ERA in his first major league season.

MARINERS

Field on Friday, holds a twogame advantage over the Mariners for the first wildcard spot.

“This is the first game we’ve had like that all year, a tough disappointing loss,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said.

The Astros chased Hisashi Iwakuma (14-7) after just 4 1-3 innings, his third shortest outing of the season.

Iwakuma struggled with his control from the start and walked Jon Singleton with one out in the second inning.

It was just his 15th walk issued in 161 2-3 innings this season.

Matt Dominguez then popped out before three straight hits, by Alex Presley, Max Stassi and Jonathan Villar, produced three runs.

In Iwakuma’s 24 previous

starts, opponents had scored a combined three runs in the second inning.

Nick Tropeano (1-0), making his major league debut, allowed two runs and four hits in five innings. He struck out five and left with a 4-2 lead.

Tony Sipp finished the ninth for his fourth save.

Tropeano’s only trouble came in the second when Mike Zunino hit a one-out, two-run double.

The Astros added a run in the eighth on Presley’s twoout RBI single. He and Stassi each had two RBIs. Houston has won 14 of its last 22 games, going 6-2 since Lawless took over for Bo Porter on Sept. 2.

UP NEXT: After their final off day of the season, the Mariners open their crit-

ical series against Oakland.

Seattle left-hander James Paxton (5-2, 1.87) will start Friday against right-hander Jason Hammel (2-5, 4.70).

The Astros, also off Thursday, will send Brett Oberholtzer (5-10, 4.38) against C.J. Wilson (11-9, 4.64) in the opener of their series with the Angels.

CLOSER TO THE END: Even though Mariners closer Fernando Rodney has 44 saves in 47 opportunities and needs just two more to set the franchise record, he tends to be a final-inning roller coaster. Manager Lloyd McClendon says just enjoy the ride.

“I’m a believer that once you get to your closer in the ninth inning, you’ve done your job as a manager,” McClendon said.

From Page B1 Altuve leads the league in hitting (.336 average), hits and steals (52). If he finishes as the leader in all three categories he would be the first to do that since Suzuki in 2001.

“You don’t see 200 hits from that many guys in a season. Well-deserved for that young man,” Astros interim manager Tom Lawless said.

“I told him after the game, ‘it’s hard to do what you did this year. ... Keep on going but that club is a small club to belong to.’ I don’t think he knows how hard it is to do it.”

The Mariners remained a half-game behind Detroit for the second wild-card spot.

Passing Pac-12 has plenty of top runners, too PHOENIX (AP) — The quarterbacks get most of the attention in the Pac-12, have for years.

It’s no wonder, too, with a roll call that includes John Elway, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and a lineup of stars this season.

But for all the quarterbacks have done, something else has become apparent through the first two weeks of the season: Some of these teams can run, too.

It’s still early and some of the opponents haven’t exactly been stellar, but the Pac-12 has six teams averaging over 200 yards rushing per game.

Some of it is because opponents have to pay so much attention to the quarterbacks that it opens up running lanes. But the Pac-12 also has some teams that aren’t bad at running the ball, as you’ll see in this rundown of some of the conference’s best rushing teams: OREGON: Because the Ducks run a spread offense and have a quarterback like Marcus Mariota, the assumption is that they are primarily a passing team. Truth is,

Oregon’s offense is more runbased, the plays on the ground setting up the ones through the air.

The Ducks have finished no worse than sixth nationally in rushing offense since 2007 and seem to reload with new yard-churners every season. Oregon has a threeheaded monster of backs this season with Byron Marshall, Thomas Tyner and freshman Royce Freeman. Add in Mariota’s ability to pick up big gains with his legs, and the Ducks are averaging 233 yards per game — a figure that will likely go up as the season progresses.

ARIZONA STATE: The Sun Devils also have a pass-first perception that isn’t exactly true.

Since coach Todd Graham arrived three years ago, his focus has been on establishing a strong running game to set up the pass. The Sun Devils have had success doing just that with a variety of backs. This season, it’s D.J. Foster’s turn. A high-profile local recruit, he spent his first two seasons playing multiple positions so the Sun Devils could take advantage of his versa-

tility. He moved into the featuredback role when Marion Grice was injured late last season and has flourished this season, rushing for a career-best 216 yards against New Mexico last weekend after gaining 147 yards against Weber State in the opener. ASU leads the conference with 345 yards rushing per game.

ARIZONA: The Wildcats figured to be in trouble, at least in terms of running the ball, with the departure of Ka’Deem Carey. He was a twotime All-American and the school’s all-time leading rusher, so there were big shoes to fill. Instead of having one player step into them, coach Rich Rodriguez has turned to multiple players. Terris JonesGrigsby did the heavy lifting in the first game, rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown while setting up several other scores in a win over UNLV. Freshman Nick Wilson took over last week while Jones-Grigsby was injured, rushing for 174 yards against Texas-San Antonio after running for an 85-yard touchdown the week before.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA:

Arizona State’s D.J. Foster, right, gets past New Mexico’s David Guthrie for a long gain during the first half Saturday. Foster finished with 216 rushing yards.

USC has been called Tailback U for a reason. The Trojans routinely churn out star running backs and appeared to be in good shape again this season with Javorius Allen and Tre Madden returning. Even with Madden missing the first two games with a lingering toe injury, USC has had no trouble moving the

Pressure is on South Carolina

Meet the other Brandon Marshall ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Linebacker Brandon Marshall led the Denver Broncos with nine tackles in his first career NFL start and added a key tackle on special teams that reversed a 92-yard touchdown return.

So, when he reaches into his locker Wednesday for a rare bit of fan mail, he figures he’s about to open a letter congratulating him.

Out pop two football cards of the OTHER Brandon Marshall, the one making millions of dollars catching passes for the Chicago Bears.

And a note, asking if he could autograph the cards and mail them back in the return envelope to a town in Iowa.

“Hey, I don’t get why you would send a Chicago Bears card to the Broncos facility. It doesn’t make sense,” Marshall said as he showed his fellow linebackers who were laughing along with him.

Marshall gets confused with his superstar namesake all the time on Twitter and Instagram.

“Now I get it in the mail, too,” Marshall said. “I get it all over, man.”

He’ll need more games like he had Sunday night when he was filling in for leading tackler Danny Trevathan to finally get some respect, it looks like.

Then, maybe fans will send him his real football cards to sign.

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Maybe the NFL schedule makers did the Baltimore Ravens a big favor.

Tonight’s game couldn’t come any more quickly for the Ravens, allowing them to turn away from the turmoil of the Ray Rice release and concentrate on football.

And with a visit by the bitter rival Steelers on the agenda, the game becomes even more of a relief for Baltimore.

“Obviously it’s a little different not having Ray here and realizing we’re not going to have him here,” quarterback Joe Flacco said. “Having said that, we have to move on.”

Pittsburgh, which beat 1 Cleveland last week, is a 2 ⁄2 point underdog against the Ravens, who fell at home to Cincinnati.

The Steelers could stamp themselves as an AFC contender. As if the Steelers need

Pro Picks

Consider what No. 24 South Carolina is facing Saturday when it plays No. 6 Georgia.

The Gamecocks entered the season with championship hopes, from the SEC East to the national title. A loss on Saturday at home, and that’s all gone — on Sept. 13.

Brutal.

South Carolina (1-1, 0-1 SEC) would already have two conference losses and be essentially three games behind Georgia, if you include the tiebreaker the Bulldogs would hold. By Saturday night, a Capital One Bowl bid might be the best the Gamecocks can do.

The annual early-season matchup between South Carolina and Georgia has become one of the SEC’s biggest, a game with national implications, thanks to the Gamecocks’ rise to national power under coach Steve Spurrier.

“We don’t have a whole lot of rivals. We haven’t beaten anybody enough to have rivals,” Spurrier said Wednesday.

That used to be true.

South Carolina is coming off three straight 11-win seasons, though Georgia has won the SEC East two of the last four years.

Georgia snapped a threegame losing streak to South Carolina last season with a wild 41-30 victory. Missouri ended up winning the East and will likely have a say in that race again. Maybe Florida and Tennessee, too.

The Gamecocks and Bulldogs get a little extra attention this week as the one matchup of Top 25 teams on an otherwise underwhelming slate of games.

The picks:

College Picks

The Associated Press

Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall (54) tries to tackle Indianapolis tight end Dwayne Allen during their game last Sunday. Allen scored a touchdown on the play.

“Exactly. But I don’t even know if I have a card, honestly,” said Marshall, who was drafted in the fifth round out of Nevada by Jacksonville in 2012 only to get cut three times by the Jaguars. “I’ve never seen a rookie card of mine. Even though I was drafted. Maybe they’ll make one.”

Marshall relayed defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio’s calls and never came out of the game for a breather in Denver’s 31-24 win over Indy. He played all 74 defensive snaps, tied for the team lead with Rahim Moore, and six more on special teams.

“There’s nothing like that first regular season game,” coach John Fox said. “The speed of the game picks up, obviously the length of your playing time (does, too). So, we’ve got to do a little bit better job of maybe taking some of those pitches off of him. But all in all, I think he did well.”

Marshall had some moments he’d like back, like when he couldn’t bring down tight end Dwayne Allen on a long touchdown catch-andrun. But the good plays outnumbered the bad ones.

Marshall’s biggest play came when he stuffed Andrew Luck’s sneak on fourth-and-goal. He also came up with a huge play on special teams after being pressed into additional duties when Nate Irving banged a knee and briefly left the game.

“That made it even more tiring for me on defense,” Marshall said. “But I’ve still got to do what I have to do to help us win the game.”

He did by dragging down punt returner Griff Whalen at the Colts 10-yard line early in the fourth quarter only to see Whalen pop up and run for what was originally ruled a 92-yard touchdown.

Replays showed Marshall forced Whalen’s right knee to

the grass, however, and the call was corrected.

“I knew he was down.

That’s why I got up and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ He’s still running but he was down,” Marshall said.

Trevathan is expected to miss another two games, and Marshall’s hoping for more games like his debut, then to contribute heavily in the linebacker rotation and on special teams.

If that happens, he might finally make a name for himself and stop getting confused with the other Brandon Marshall, the one makes more money in one week — $535,294 — than the Broncos’ Marshall will all season — $495,000.

He held up the two football cards from the mistaken fan again.

“Maybe I should just sign these with my No. 54 and send them back. Maybe I’ll do that,” he said as he went in search of a Sharpie.

Expect Ravens to fall to 0-2 on season

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press

ball on the ground — thanks to Allen. The sturdily built junior ran for 133 yards and a touchdown in the Trojans’ opening rout of Fresno State and pounded his way through one of the conference’s best run defenses, churning out a careerhigh 154 yards in a win over Stanford last week.

more incentive against the Ravens.

And then there’s the little dance Steelers coach Mike Tomlin did last season when Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones was returning a kickoff. The league fined Tomlin $100,000 for sideline interference because he got in Jones’ way — they didn’t collide — while watching the videoboard.

Tomlin promises Jones will be “safe” at home.

“It’s a nonfactor in terms of what I’m doing in terms of preparing for this opportunity,” he said, “and obviously what needs to happen for us in the stadium. I don’t tote those bags.”

Donald Sadoway, a Professor of Materials Chemistry at MIT, said, “In a battery, I strive to maximize electrical potential. When mentoring, I strive to maximize human potential.”

This week we have been looking at deals in which declarer has been trying to maximize his chance of success. Here is another. How should South plan the play in seven hearts after West leads the diamond king?

North’s two-no-trump response

was the Jacoby Forcing Raise: at least four-card heart support and gamegoing values. When South found three aces opposite, he bid seven hearts, thinking that it would be at worst on a black-suit finesse.

In the red suits, South has five hearts, one diamond and one diamond ruff in his hand. So it seems as though South must ruff his spade losers in the dummy, then find the club queen. But there is another possibility. If he can take four spades and two clubs, that will also result in 13 tricks.

In a vacuum, the percentage play in clubs is to cash the king, then to finesse through West. In the real world, it is better to lead the jack from hand, hoping that West either covers with the queen or thinks about it. Or, if he plays low smoothly, to rise with dummy’s ace and finesse through East on the way back.

However, although that will work against many players, the best way to combine all of the chances is to cash the ace and king in the side suit with the greater number of cards — here, clubs. If the queen drops, fine; if not, declarer finesses in the other suit.
