Long wait time leads to patient frustration

BY SAEROM YOO The Associated Press SALEM — Sonya Pierce arrived at the Salem Hospital emergency department at 9:30 p.m. recently, with severe stomach pains. She said she was cramping and couldn’t stand or walk.

When she was finally seen at 6 a.m. the next day, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

“I felt like I’d been abused as a human being there,” she said.

It wasn’t just that Pierce, 51, had to wait more than eight hours in pain to learn of her cancer diagnosis. She also felt she was mistreated by the triage nurses, who told her she was “low priority.”

Pierce doesn’t believe her lack of insurance at the time helped her situation either.

“They actually saw everybody in the ER room before they saw me that day,” Pierce said. “They act like it’s a normal situation.”

Pierce’s story is one example of how an overloaded hospital can affect an individual’s experience in the emergency room. Long waits aren’t only inefficient, it can feel inhumane to patients who are in crisis.

Administrators have said Salem Hospital has been experiencing high volumes since the winter of 2012. They recently opened a nine-bed transitional care unit to hold patients who are waiting for inpatient beds to free up, a common way hospitals deal with stress in the emergency room.

Chief operating officer Cheryl Nester Wolfe said emergency department staff use a prioritization system so the most acute patients are seen first. Abdominal pain falls in Level 3 of the five-level system, behind patients with symptoms of stroke, heart attack and trauma.

While the hospital declined to comment on Pierce’s specific situation, citing patient privacy laws, Wolfe said lots of factors can lead to long waits. For one, between noon and midnight is the busiest time for the emergency room.

During the month of August, 32 percent of all emergency patients arrived at the hospital between 6

Csagge McNeely takes care of some of the 200 North Country Cheviot sheep he owns on a 40-acre ranch in Broadbent. McNeely also owns 28 cows, a bull and a llama.

BROADBENT — It all began when his grandfather gave him a lamb, which he bottle-fed from birth.

Csagge McNeely, now 20, took “Albert” with him to Powers High School, where he was a junior at the time. Just as a certain song goes, the lamb followed him to school, he said. The woolly creature also answered him when called.

“It was practically a dog,” McNeely said.

He took care of Albert until he died of an unknown cause in the spring of 2014. He was just 2 years old.

“It was a fluke deal,” McNeely said.

Albert passed away in his arms even after he hand-fed and watered him for two days, but the experience still prompted McNeely to want more sheep because he “couldn’t have just one.” He said jokes ensued.

“I get sheep jokes all the time,” McNeely said. “ I kind of embrace it now and joke with them.”

McNeely began his sheep herd by buying out several local

The animals all co-exist on about 400 leased acres of grass and forest land — a fairly average ranch size for the area, McNeely said.

Numbers of sheep ranchers have dwindled in the county since the 1960s and 1970s due to predators and tree companies, said JoAnn Mast, another local sheep rancher. Mast keeps about 60 Romney ewes and eight to 12 rams, carrying on the tradition of her family.

Despite threats to the industry, there were still about 10,000

head of sheep in the county, said agriculture Bouska, Cassie instructor for the Oregon State University extension office in Myrtle Point. She estimated there were about 95 sheep producers in Coos and Curry counties.

Oregon ranked seventh out of 35 states in sheep production in 2008, according to the American Sheep Industry Association website, which reported about 3,200 producers. Texas was first with about 8,700, followed by Arizona with 5,000 and California with 4,100.

In numbers of sheep and lambs, Oregon placed ninth out of 34 states as of Jan. 1, 2013, with 210,000, according to the ASI website. Texas was first with

700,000, followed by California with 570,000 and Colorado with 435,000.

Sheep are produced in all 50 states, but the highest producing states are west of the Mississippi River where there are larger ranches, according to the ASI site. There were about 80,000 sheep ranches in the U.S. in 2012.

Sheep are used for meat, wool, milk and cheese. They also are useful as “self-propelled lawnmowers, clipping the invasive weeds that are rapidly engulfing millions of acres,” the site said.

As for McNeely, he said he hopes to expand his herd someday. For now, he is content managing what he has, even though it was demanding at times. He said lambing season was particularly hard because the youngsters were born during winter — the worst time of year to try to survive, he said.

“It’s hard to keep newborn sheep alive when it’s raining sideways or hailing and freezing,” SEE SHEEP | A8

WASHINGTON — Summer break over and elections ahead, Congress is beginning an abbreviated September session with must-do tasks of preventing a government shutdown and extending a freeze on taxing access to the Internet.

Lawmakers will find time, too, for votes conveying political messages primed for fall campaigning.

Republicans who run the House may have lousy approval ratings, but they are poised to pad their 34-vote majority and determined to avoid mistakes like last year’s partial government shutdown. That fight was over implementation of President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Now, the GOP is pressing for drama-free passage of a temporary spending bill to prevent a federal shutdown at month’s end and fund government agencies past the Nov. 4 election into mid-December. The Senate is sure to go along if that measure is kept free of objectionable add-ons.

House Republicans also plan votes aimed at drawing attention to legislation they say would boost jobs and energy production.

“We’re set up to paint a very stark contrast between ourselves and the Democrats who run Washington — if we take advantage of it by getting our work done and getting our message out,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told colleagues in a conference call last week.

Gold!

BY GAIL ELBER For TheWorld

When a storm uncovered gold-bearing black sands at Gold Beach in 1851, the news drew a horde of prospectors to the coast between Cape Arago and Gold Beach. An 1853 gold discovery at Whiskey Run Beach north of Bandon attracted more than a thousand miners, making it the coast’s biggest gold camp. After a winter storm buried the Whiskey Run deposits in sand, the miners moved on.

Most of the South Coast’s gold miners were men from the Willamette Valley or California who folPhoto courtesy of Bandon Historical Society Museum

the coast, and they often attacked native women and destroyed natives’ property. Forty miners killed fifteen Coquilles in the 1854 Nasomah massacre near the current site of Bandon, which led to the removal of most of the Coquilles to the Coast Reservation further up the coast.

While individual miners focused on surface gold deposits near the water, commercial operations developed to uncover buried gold sands at higher elevations along the coast. These sand mines prospered in the 1800s and were reopened in the 1930s, when the Great Depression made gold mining more profitable.

In recent years, soaring gold prices have drawn hobby prospectors to the coastal streams and the beach placers, with everything from gold pans to suction dredges. Concerns about the effects of gold dredging on fish habitat have led to state restrictions on dredging in streams. Gold mining clubs have become active in telling their side of the fish-habitat story, encouraging good environmental practices among miners and asserting their rights under federal mining law.

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

Gov’t shutdown won’t happen A few weeks ago Washington was buzzing with predictions that Republicans will impeach President Obama.

More recently, Washington has been buzzing with predictions that Republicans will shut down the government.

Both have come mostly from Democrats facing long odds in November’s midterms, hoping the GOP might do something suicidal before voters go to the polls. For them, sheer ecstasy would be Republicans shutting down the government while keeping House offices open to draft articles of impeachment.

The only problem is, well-connected Republicans insist it’s not going to happen.

House Speaker John Boehner appeared to settle the impeachment question last month when he called all the talk a “Democratic scam” and added, “We have no plans to impeach the president. We have no future plans.”

So the subject changed to a shutdown.

It’s a more substantial accusation; after all, House Republicans have never impeached Barack Obama, but they have shut down the government. But it appears there’s little or nothing to the shutdown talk, either.

The government runs out of money at the end of September, so Congress will have to pass a continuing resolution by then to keep it running. The rumors are that if Obama takes some sort of far-reaching action on immigration, as BYRON is widely expected, infuYORK riated Republicans will retaliate by threatening to Columnist close the government unless Obama backs down. Obama, protected by a Democratic Senate, will of course not back down, and a shutdown will ensue.

At least that’s the scenario. I asked one plugged-in, senior GOP adviser whether there was any chance — any chance at all — that would happen. His one-word response: “No.” An equally senior GOP aide added: “We are not going to shoot ourselves in the foot and jeopardize our chances of winning the Senate and gaining seats in the House.”

In his new book, The Way Forward, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan calls last year’s shutdown a “suicide mission” and says the GOP’s shutdown strategy was “flawed from beginning to end.”

“Wow,” Ryan remembers thinking as the shutdown became a reality. “This can’t be the full measure of our party and our movement. If it is, we’re dead, and the country is lost.”

That doesn’t sound like a man contemplating another shutdown.

Perhaps the closest thing to a smoking gun Democrats have now is a statement made by GOP Sen. Marco Rubio that has been interpreted as a shutdown threat. In an interview with Breitbart News, Rubio said that if Obama acts on immigration, then “There will have to be some sort of a budget vote or a continuing resolution vote, so I assume there will be some sort of a vote on this. I’m interested to see what kinds of ideas my colleagues have about using funding mechanisms to address this issue.”

That led to a story in the Huffington Post headlined, “Marco Rubio Hints At A Government Shutdown Fight Over Immigration.” And then came an article by Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, also in the Huffington Post, which declared Rubio “willing to risk another government shutdown,” and urged Obama to resist being “held hostage to Marco Rubio and the GOP’s demands.”

Rubio’s office says there’s nothing to it.

“We’re not going to shut down the government,” spokesman Alex Conant told me.

“Ultimately, Republicans will need to win control of the Senate to reverse an executive action. We would be interested in having a vote on it in the context of the budget debate, but we are not going to shut down the government.”

Just to be clear, I asked Conant whether that meant Rubio would like to attach some sort of immigration rider to a funding bill, but if it lost, Rubio would accept the loss and the government would be funded.

“Right,” responded Conant. “We’re not going to shut down the government.”

For good measure, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who last year ruled out another shutdown, reaffirmed that recently.

Despite all that, Democrats might still argue that the relatively small minority of House Republican conservatives who forced a shutdown last year could do it again this year. But those GOP members were only able to force a shutdown because Boehner accommodated them. Now, after the damage to the party’s standing done by the last shutdown, it seems highly unlikely — make that virtually impossible — that Boehner would do that again.

So it appears that after all the talking is over, the government will keep running — even if that leaves Democrats bitterly disappointed.

Letters to the Editor TrackTown USA is world class With fall in the air and kids heading back to school, it’s time to look back on one of the largest statewide accomplishments of the past summer: After years of preparation, we reached the finish line of the first IAAF World Junior Championships ever held on U.S. soil.

This historic track and field event will have a long-term impact felt for generations.

When we made our initial presentation to the International Association of Athletics Federations — the world’s governing body for the sport of track and field — we made some big promises.

We told them we would have excited and enthusiastic crowds; a statewide community that would embrace and welcome the 1,700 athletes representing 167 different countries from around the world; and a volunteer base determined to provide our visitors with the best experience possible.

Today, thanks to all of those efforts, we can proudly proclaim that we not only achieved those goals, we exceeded them.

To me, it was the state, county and local governments, the hundreds of volunteers and officials, and the support of Oregonians statewide, who all came together to make this a truly memorable event.

From the time the international athletes and team officials arrived, there were friendly smiles and gracious hospitality exhibited at every turn.

Multiple teams set up training camps prior to the meet throughout the state, including at Lewis & Clark College, Pacific University, Willamette University and Oregon State University.

In our efforts to involve kids from around Oregon, the inaugural TrackTown Youth League featured hundreds of youngsters from around Portland, Salem, Albany, Corvallis, Eugene, Coos Bay, Medford, Bend and Hermiston.

Everything I saw affirmed my belief in the statewide popularity of our next global event — the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland.

All of which is a prelude to our most ambitious goal to date — the 2019 IAAF World Championships.

It will be the biggest sporting event in the world that year because there will be no World Cup and no Olympic Games.

Take a moment and imagine how exciting, and how transfor-

mational it would be for this state, this country, and for the sport of track and field, if we were to do something as big and audacious as bring the World Championships to Oregon in 2019.

It’s almost unthinkable, but with the unwavering support of the entire state, we can dare to dream big.

North Bend not serving residents Out of 130 Simpson Heights homes, only one person knew anything about the proposal to build “temporary workforce housing” for 2,100 workers on Al Peirce North Point property next to the McCullough Bridge. This massive project will be a very short distance from parks and family homes. These workers will share our streets and neighborhood access.

There is little doubt the North Bend City Council worked long and diligently with the city attorney and the Jordan Cove legal team preparing for this decision, yet only minimally complied with the rules of notification. This rule basically states that no property owner needs to be notified unless they are within 100 feet of the project. It didn't say they could not notify us.A few letters of notification for something this invasive wouldn't have hurt the city budget. I ask why they would choose to do the least notification to those they knew would be the most impacted!

Add 2,100 workers into any city infrastructure, a variety of challenges and unforeseen problems will soon surface. For North Bend, this is more than a 20-percent increase in the population. This concentration of workers in this small area, within a short time period, could produce a number consequences. of related Possibilities to consider are: increase in the crime rate, violence, prostitution, pedophilia, increased drug use and trafficking, as well as other unwanted or needed complications, such as a proposed signal light on the south end of the McCullough Bridge which may cause more safety and traffic problems for citizens as well as travelers.

Yes, Simpson Heights will be the first on the scene. With this potential increase, will there also be an increase in the North Bend city budget? Additional police officers, fire and rescue personnel, and city infrastructure needs?

Exactly what will this cost in taxes? Perhaps I am old fashioned, still living under the belief that we the people are still those whom our elected officials are sworn to serve and protect. It is sure to have an impact on North Bend's citizens, as well as those just down the highway in the general Bay Area. Yes, there are benefits of an increase of revenue for our cities businesses, but at what price? If I feel anything right now, it is certainly not served or protected by my elected city officials!

Quit whining and fill ‘er up Usually, when I decide to write a letter to the editor, targeting is easy; this time, I simply cannot refuse the opportunity.

In case you didn’t notice, the national average price for a gallon of gasoline this past week was $3.43. But here abouts in “River Cities,” our unleaded regular on 8/31/2014 was $3.92 at Walmart.

So, once again the question is, “who’s to blame?”

We already know that trucking fuels is expensive. We also know that those of us living on the Oregon coast enjoy breathing some of the freshest oceanwashed air in the world. The problem is we cannot have it both ways. Specifically, Oregonians are on record that no refinery is wanted within our borders, ever. Thus the conundrum.

So, what’s our solution? Fill up the tank, drive to our nearby beaches and enjoy why we live here. Oh, and stop whining.

Period.

Let’s keep flying Old Glory The city council was asking for citizen input about the boardwalk flags. I don’t remember the exact year, but I do remember that Jim Watson was city manager. The Coos County Veterans Organization asked him if it would be possible to have the American flag fly along the boardwalk for our three celebrations. 1.

Memorial Day, May 31, to honor our fallen heroes; 2. Flag Day, June 14, the birth date of our national emblem; and 3. July 4, America’s birthday.

The vets offered to buy the flags if it was a possibility. Jim must have taken it to the council, as shortly after that the flags began to fly on those celebrations, and

the city must have picked up the cost of the flags. The tradition went on for a number of years and then stopped. When Alita Pittman passed, the Coos County vets asked if the flags could be flown especially for Memorial Day, as Alita and Cecil Pittman had been instrumental participants in the Memorial Day parade.

The city resumed the tradition for a while, and then Gene Melton asked the council to keep the American flags flying until we were free of wars!

Each time I drive past the boardwalk, I feel a sense of pride to see those flags flying, whipping or hanging. That American flag is known around the world. It is both loved and hated by many, but when I think of the men and women who gave their lives and fought to keep us free, I think, “thank you.” Couldn’t Coos Bay be known as an all-American city?

By the way, every time we have had the military order of the purple heart conventions here, the out of town people have commented on how nice the flag display is.

State roads are a crazy quilt When one makes a quilt they seam together patches of different sizes and textures to form an elaborate piece of art. For the last few years,ODOT and others have been applying this same technique on our roads from Coos Bay to Roseburg. And while it looks much like a patch work quilt, I haven't seen anyone stand back to admire its beauty. The last two years they have gone to the extreme of spreading the asphalt with a road grader and rolling it smooth like the fine piece of sand paper, grinding off our tires going over the bridge in Bunker Hill, Coos Bay. Fix it right or don't waste the money. At least then I would have the option of driving around the rough spots.

Obituaries and Nation Obama to outline strategy on Islamic State

Man longs for thrill he felt when romance was brand new DEAR ABBY: I'm in desperate need of help. I have been with my girlfriend for four years.

With every DEAR long-term relationship, there are bound to be issues.

I haven't felt loved by her in a long time, and I think I have fallen JEANNE out of love PHILLIPS with her. I can't even tell her that I love her anymore because I don't want to lie.

When we make love, it's dull and boring. I want to feel the way I used to about her. When I was near her, my hairs used to stand up, my heart would race, my body would quiver and I would never want to let her go.

How can I feel that way about her again? — WANTS THAT OLD FEELING DEAR WANTS: The problem with relationships is that they can only be brand-new once. With the passage of time, to some extent the excitement fades.

That's where the "work" comes in.

Longtime couples must make an effort to keep their relationship fresh and exciting. This means introducing spontaneity and new experiences to each other.

You say you haven't felt loved by her in a long time.

My advice would be to talk to her about it. Because you can't bring yourself to tell her you love her, has it occurred to you that she might feel as though she has been emotionally abandoned by you?

If you want that old feeling back, you and your lady will need to resume comon a munication meaningful level. It's not always easy, but honesty can revive a relationship that's wilting.

DEAR ABBY: I live with my longtime boyfriend in a house he owns. We're five hours away from my parents and siblings and the town in which I grew up.

It's a beautiful house with lots of land, and I can imagine raising a family here. However, I always thought that if I had children, I'd live close to the rest of my family. I would want my parents nearby so they could lend a hand, and I want my kids to have a close relationship with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

My boyfriend is open to the idea of selling the house, but I'm not sure I would want him to. What should I do? I love this house, but how can I start a family so far from my own? — LOOKING AHEAD IN NEW JERSEY DEAR LOOKING AHEAD: Before you make any decisions, discuss this with your parents and see if their vision of grandparenthood is similar to your fantasy. Take into consideration how close they are to your siblings and how involved they are in each other's lives. Be sure that the kind of extended family relationship you envision is realistic.

If everyone is on board, and your then you boyfriend should talk about what relocating will mean in terms of not only selling this house, but also the impact it might have on your ability to earn a living. This property may be terrific, but if it cannot offer you the lifestyle you wish for, then you would be better served to move.

But only you can decide that.

The Associated Press

This July 10 file photo shows President Barack Obama in a campaign style rally in Austin, Texas. Obama ridiculed Congressional Republicans' on immigration, accusing them of doing little more than oppose his agenda.

Politics trump immigration promises WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, President Barack Obama berated Republicans for putting their own political interests ahead of good policy on immigration. In two successive presidential campaigns, he held up Washington’s failure to act on immigration as a prime example of the cynical decision-making he said must end in Washington.

Now that he is delaying his own immigration plan until after Election Day, Obama has opened himself to charges from Democrats and Republicans that he’s just as guilty of playing politics.

The president’s aboutface, reversing a promise to take action near the end of

summer, has left him with few allies going forward on an issue he had hoped would become a core component of his legacy.

Immigration groups are decrying what they see as a cravenly political move that puts their best interests yet again on the back burner.

Republicans are far from appeased; they’re accusing Obama of ducking accountability because he still plans to act, just not until after voters go to the polls. Democrats, for the most part, are trying their hardest to stay out of it.

Obama’s explanation for his decision to delay — that a summer surge in Central American children crossing into the U.S. illegally had poi-

soned the atmosphere for immediate action — did little to quell speculation that Obama had actually yielded to midterm politics. After all, nervous red-state Democrats had been complaining throughout the summer that voters would punish them if Obama took provocative, unilateral executive action now, such as deferring deportation for millions of immigrants.

“It’s definitely politics,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Sunday. Added Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., a prominent immigration advocate: “Playing it safe might win an election ... but it almost never leads to fairness, to justice and to good public policy that you can be proud of.”

This handout file photo taken Sept. 2 provided by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) shows a 39-year-old woman, the first participant enrolled in VRC 207, receiving a dose of the investigational NIAID/GSK Ebola vaccine at the National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md. That’s in line with other vaccines routinely used today, and fortunately it didn’t take multiple doses to trigger that much protection, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose employees led the work.

The bigger challenge is

that the protection wanes over time.

Researchers exposed monkeys to Ebola 10 months after vaccination, and this time only half were protected.

Partial protection is better than none, Fauci said.But the goal is long-lasting protection, so it was time to try booster shots.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — For the first time since it declared California’s gay marriage ban unconstitutional,the federal appeals court in San Francisco is readying to hear arguments over same-sex weddings in a political and legal climate that’s vastly different than when it overturned Proposition 8 in 2012.

State and federal court judges have been striking down bans in more than a dozen states at a rapid rate since a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year.

Now,three judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — all appointed by Democrats and one whom wrote the opinion overturning Proposition 8 — are set to hear arguments Monday on gay marriage bans in Idaho, Nevada and Hawaii.

Health school to get record $350M gift BOSTON (AP) — A $350 million gift pledged to Harvard University’s School of Public Health is the largest single donation in the university’s long history, officials said, and will help bolster research in several key areas including global pandemics.

The donation, to be formally announced Monday, comes from a philanthropic foundation established by the family of T.H. Chan, a Hong Kong real estate developer who died in 1986.

In a rarity for Harvard, the school will be renamed the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

“And then I think he needs to engage Congress, the American people, on what exactly we’re going to do here,” Rogers told CNN. Speaking Monday on MSNBC, Rogers said, “I think in Congress we need to expose all members to the level of threat that those of us on the national security committees see every day.”

He said Washington political leaders should not give the Islamic militants the “time and space” to grow into a more formidable force, which he said happened with the al-Qaida terrorist network.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN Obama needs to spell out both the diplomatic and military components of his strategy.

“Time’s a-wasting, because we have now said that we’re going to go on the offensive. And it’s time for America to project power and strength,” Feinstein said.

Obama sparked criticism, most of it from Republicans, for his remark last week that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for confronting Islamic extremists gaining both land and followers in the Middle East.

His upcoming sessions with lawmakers and the speech to the nation are clearly an attempt to try to show he now has an evolving strategy in place.

“The next phase is now to start going on some offense,” Obama said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Appeals court to consider gay marriage laws

Vaccine works, needs booster WASHINGTON (AP) — New monkey studies show that one shot of an experimental Ebola vaccine can trigger fast protection, but the effect waned unless the animals got a booster shot made a different way.

Some healthy people are rolling up their sleeves at the National Institutes of Health for the first human safety study of this vaccine in hopes it eventually might be used in the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

The NIH on Sunday published some of the key animal research behind those injections. One reason the vaccine was deemed promising was that a single dose protected all four vaccinated monkeys when they were exposed to high levels of Ebola virus just five weeks later, researchers reported in the journal Nature Medicine.

Is five weeks fast enough?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama plans to begin laying out his strategy for defeating Islamic State militants expanding their grip in Iraq and Syria.

He’ll outline his evolving tactics when he meets with congressional leaders from both parties at the White House on Tuesday and then delivers a speech Wednesday on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Lawmakers said in advance that they would like the president to give specifics.

The president should target command and control centers and oil refineries controlled by insurgents within Syria, suggested Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who sits on both the Senate Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committees.

Rubio, claiming that Obama has committed “presidential malpractice in his foreign policy,” said he is eager to hear directly what Obama “should have said months, weeks ago.”

“First, clearly explain to the American people what our national security interests are in the region” and spell out the risk that Islamic State militants pose “for us, short-term and long-term, and why they matter,” Rubio said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“Clearly, he’s put together a coalition of the willing — we have heard that before — to tackle this problem,” said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich. “That’s good.”

D I G E S T Microsoft revamps to flow across devices NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft is giving its MSN news service a crisper look, new lifestyle tools and seamless syncing across devices.

The company says the revamped site fits in with Microsoft’s overall strategy of making mobile phones and Internet-based services priorities as its traditional businesses — Windows and Office software installed on desktops — slow down or decline. The changes also come as people increasingly read news on smartphones and tablets rather than desktop computers.

DILBERT

The hardest part is showing up Recently, I underwent that procedure no one my age likes to talk about. As m u c h a s I d rea d e d t h e exam, it was nothing compa re d to wh a t I we n t through to get ready for it.

Just seeing those words on the office door made me wa n t to c u t a n d r u n : Certified Financial Planner.

But we did it.

EVERYDAY husCHEAPSKATE My band and I showed up and s p e n t seve ra l h o u rs planning o u r estate, which is a pleasMary ant way Hunt to say we talked a b o u t ge t t i n g o l d a n d dying.

Here’s the question that started the ball rolling: “When would you like to have the option to stop working?” Selecting a date gave the planner a frame of reference to begin creating a plan that will allow us to do that.

Through this process I’ve learned there are basically three types of financial planners, the difference being the way the planner is paid.

F e e - o n l y . This type of financial planner charges a set fee, charging either by the hour as an attorney would or a flat fee like a doctor. You have your initial meeting and then a follow-up appointment when the planner hands you an estate plan developed just for you. It’s up to you to implement the plan.

F e e - b a s e d . This is the sa m e a s t h e fe e - o n ly arrangement except for having to implement the plan yourself. With a feebased plan, the up-front fee is usually less. However, once the plan is written, the planner will work with you to get everything in place. If yo u p u rc h a se f i n a n c i a l products like insurance or investments through the planner’s firm, he or she will earn commissions.

However, you are not obligated to buy through the planner’s firm.

P r o d u c t - b a s e d . In this arrangement the planner does not charge an upfront fee, but receives all of his or her compensation through commissions on the financial products recommended.

You may be years away from needing the services of a professional financial planner. But you can, and should, start getting ready for your appointment now.

Get out of debt. If you are carrying unsecured debt, this is the first thing any planner worth his door plaque will tell you: Get rid of your credit card and all other unsecured debt. I can teach you how to get out of debt quickly and relatively painlessly.

S t a r t s a v i n g . You will need a savings account with at least six months of living expenses in it. Start saving now even if you are in debt, even if you think you can’t.

You can. You have to!

Know your benefits.

Keep good records.

Figure out a simple filing system where you can keep your important papers: Your mortgage, insurance policies, wills and investment statements.

There was a time, and not so long ago, I would have preferred to shove toothpicks under my fingernails than meet with a financial planner. But I’ve changed my mind.

In fact I’ll take a meeting with a financial planner any day over one that involves weight scales, blood pressure cuffs and the snapping of rubber gloves.

World Cease-fire holds in Ukraine KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A cease-fire between proRussian rebels and Ukrainian government troops appeared to be largely holding in eastern Ukraine on Monday, a day after shelling and clashes rattled nerves and imperiled the peace deal.

In a statement published online, the city council of Donetsk said there had been no reported casualties overnight and that public transport would be up and running on Tuesday. No shelling or explosions could be heard overnight in downtown Donetsk.

Terrorism crackdown raises concerns BEIJING (AP) — When attackers from China’s minority Uighurs killed 37 people in a July rampage in far western Xinjiang, police responded by gunning down at least 59 of them. When three Uighurs allegedly killed a top state-appointed Muslim cleric, police shot dead two of them. When security forces led a raid on 10 suspected Uighur terrorists, they fatally shot all but one.

The incidents are part of a pattern raising concerns that Chinese police are excessively using deadly force in their bid to prevent more attacks by Uighur militants, who have killed dozens of civilians in train stations and other public places over the past few years.

In some cities,patrolling SWAT units have already been authorized to shoot dead suspected terrorists without warning.

Troops help rescue people stranded

Water shortages lead to ‘tanker mafia’

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Army and air force troops on Monday worked to rescue thousands of people stranded in Indian-controlled Kashmir and northern and eastern Pakistan, where flooding and landslides have caused more than 320 deaths.

Six days of rains in Indian Kashmir have left more than 120 people dead in the region’s worst flooding in more than five decades, submerging hundreds of villages and triggering landslides, officials said. In neighboring Pakistan, more than 205 people have died and thousands of homes have collapsed.

Rights group says militias committed “war crimes” CAIRO (AP) — An international rights group on Monday accused warring militias in Libya of committing violations that amount to war crimes during a battle the past month for control over the capital’s airport.

The five weeks of fighting over Tripoli’s airport, along with a parallel battle between militias in Libya’s second largest city Benghazi, drove some 100,000 Libyans from their homes and prompted 150,000 foreigners to flee the country. The battles over the past week have been Libya’s worst bout of violence since the 2011 civil war that ousted Moammar Gadhafi.

The battle over the airport pilled militias from the coastal city of Misrata, which are allied with the country’s Islamists, against militias from the western mountain town of Zintan. It ended with Misrata militias capturing the airport and largely seizing control of the entire capital.

Human Rights Watch said it in its report issued Monday that both sides committed serious violations during the fighting, including attacking civilians, indiscriminate bombardment and destruction, looting and burning of properties.

Commanders of the militias from both sides, along with their allies, risk “being first in line for possible sanctions and international prosecution,” said the group’s Middle East and North Africa director, Sarah Leah Whitson.

After the battle ended, milifurther tias committed out carrying violations, reprisals against civilians who back their rivals, Human Rights Watch said.

against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. But the abbreviated session and a lack of consensus raise doubts about whether any congressional action is possible.

Obama plans to meet with congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday a speech and give Wednesday as he begins laying out a strategy for fighting the Islamic State threat.

Some lawmakers say the president has the power to act under the 1973 War Powers Resolution and no new permission is necessary.

Several Republicans say they are unwilling to grant Obama blanket authority without a detailed strategy from the administration.

The issue that dominated lawmakers’ attention before the recess — the crisis of unaccompanied children at the border with Mexico — has faded because their numbers have dropped sharply in the hot summer months.

GOP aides said it’s likely that an interim deal would extend the bank until perhaps early next year.

Also in play is a freeze that prevents state and local governments from taxing access to the Internet.

Under current law, the freeze expires Nov. 1, exposing Internet users to the same kind of connection fees that often show up on telephone bills. Legislation to extend the tax moratorium is expected to be attached to the must-do spending bill, according to senior House GOP aide.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., seems most intent on getting incumbents endangered from Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina back campaigning as soon as possible.

He is planning to adjourn the Senate by Sept. 23 after dispensing with the spending measure and holding votes — destined to lose — on Democratic planks such as raising the minimum wage and blocking the flow of unlimited, unregulated cam-

There are few must-pass items that require cooperation between the feuding House and Senate.

Atop the list is the spending measure to keep agencies funded at current levels through mid-December. That would give House and Senate negotiators ample time to work out a trillion-dollarplus bill during a lame-duck session after Election Day. Boehner is looking to settle a split among Republicans the reauthorizing over Export-Import Bank, which provides credit guarantees that help foreign buyers purchase U.S. exports such as Boeing airplanes and heavy equipment built by Caterpillar.

PATIENTS Urgent care may be option Continued from Page A1 p.m. and midnight.

But the hospital does have written expectations on how patients waiting in the lobby should be treated. It includes taking vitals every two hours for Level 3 patients and at least once for Levels 4 and 5 (minor conditions), according to a standard work procedure document provided by the hospital. Nurses are also to check on the patients every hour, update them and apologize for the wait and provide blankets, water and coffee.

Pierce said her vitals were checked only once, 35 minutes after her arrival. And she doesn’t believe nurses were courteous or compassionate to her when she asked for updates.

Dr. Howard Mell, a Cleveland-based emergency physician and spokesman for American College of Emergency Physicians, said emergency room volume has been growing nationwide, and it has been attributed to the expanded availability of health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act. But it’s not because people are misusing the emergency room, Mell said. Rather, the patients’ lack of primary care

Its expected completion is the end of September, Kelling said. The city will be responsible for maintenance of the beach, Mader said. He also said they were always accepting donations.

“We’re excited about this project,” Mader said.

The project will be a cornerstone for the community.

“We are attempting to create a signature place for Lakeside and are setting it up to have events there,” Kelling said.

The first events scheduled are the opening celebration Sept. 27 and the Lakeside Brew Fest from 4 to 9 p.m.

leads to a legitimate emergency.

Only about 8 percent of emergency room patients have needs that are not considered urgent, Mell said.

At Salem Hospital, however, an average of 23 percent of the patients coming to the emergency room in August had minor and non-life threatening conditions.

These patients are categorized in Level 4 and 5 and have symptoms like sprains, urinary tract infections, sore throats, cold symptoms and rashes. Urgent care or doctor’s offices could be a cheaper and more efficient option for many of them.

The hospital operates a “fast-track” system for this group to move them along quicker, but only from 3 to 11 p.m. every day.

Mell said that in addition to more people having insurance, hospitals are seeing sicker patients with more complex conditions. And triage nurses have to think in terms of “what’s going to kill this person in the next five minutes,” he said.

Often, even when doctors and nurses are providing the best possible care, a patient’s experience might be the opposite, Mell said, especially when they receive a life-altering diagnosis.

“It’s hard to manage the patient’s perception when they’re having the worst day of their life,” he said.

Mariota leads Ducks to huge win

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

EUGENE — After the pandemonium settled, fresh off his team’s monumental 46-27 win against Michigan State on Saturday, Marcus Mariota trotted along the fan-cased rail with his arm out, high-fiving dozens of Ducks supporters in stride on his way to the locker room, cleats clicking with every step.

It’s the least he could do.

Saturday, they deserved each other.

Mariota led the Ducks on a brilliant second-half comeback in front of nearly 60,000 rabid Duck fans to take No. 3 ranked Oregon past the No. 7 Spartans at the 98th straight sellout at Autzen Stadium.

“I should have to pay to watch that guy play,” Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said. “It’s unbelievable to watch him train and watch him prepare and then to see it come to fruition in this game was big.”

After the game, Mariota explained that he couldn’t find his hot read and decided he “had to make a play with my feet.”

“I just gave (Freeman) a shovel pass and said ‘Go get it,’” Mariota said.

NFL season starts with a few thrillers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

Martina Navratilova, left, and Chris Evert, right, pose for a photo with Serena Williams after Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki in the championship match at the U.S. Open on Sunday.

Serena matches legends NEW YORK (AP) — A couple of months before Serena Williams capped her dominant run to a third consecutive U.S. Open championship and 18th major singles title Sunday night, she sat down with coach Patrick Mouratoglou to decipher why the season had been such a struggle by her standards.

At the time, Williams was coming off a third-round loss at Wimbledon, which followed a second-round loss at the French Open, which followed a fourthround loss at the Australian Open — and, when Grand Slam success defines a legacy, that simply wouldn’t do. The quest to match Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova at 18 was weighing on her.

“It was definitely on my shoulders,” Williams could acknowledge after that burden was gone. “It was definitely like, ‘Oh, get there. Get there. Get there.”’

She knew, of course, there was one more big event left in 2014, and a finite amount of time to turn things around before heading to Flushing Meadows. In some ways starting from scratch, Williams regrouped and stopped her mini-

slump, never dropping more than three games in any set, including a 6-3, 6-3 victory over close friend Caroline Wozniacki in Sunday’s final.

“When Serena is on her game,” said the 10th-seeded Wozniacki, who admitted she was nervous in her second Grand Slam title match, “there’s not much we can do.”

Williams matched Evert’s total of six U.S. Opens and became the first woman to win three in a row since Evert’s four-title run from 1975-78.

Add in Williams’ five titles apiece at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, plus two at the French Open, and only three players have more Slams: Margaret Court with 24, Steffi Graf with 22, and Helen Wills Moody with 19.

Ranked and seeded No. 1, Williams let Wozniacki keep things competitive for about five games but wound up compiling a hard-to-believe 29-4 edge in winners. Until a cross-court backhand in the final game, the only winners registered by Wozniacki came on aces.

Big-time rivalries yielded sizzling finishes on opening weekend of the NFL season.

Pittsburgh needed a last-play field goal by Shaun Suisham to beat Cleveland. Atlanta had to go to overtime to defeat New Orleans on Matt Bryant’s kick.

Cincinnati blew a 15-0 lead before making enough big plays to down Baltimore. And Miami dominated in the second half to drop New England into last place — last place! — in the AFC East.

Sure, it’s only Week 1, but those were pretty memorable results.

“Well, that was exciting, wasn’t it?” joked Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who could do without such stress.

“It’s big for the team, man,” Bengals receiver A.J. Green said after his 77-yard TD reception beat Baltimore. “Just taking that next step to being a great team.”

Steelers 30, Browns 27: At Pittsburgh, Suisham drilled a 41yard field goal as time expired.

The Steelers blew a 24-point halftime lead as the Browns rallied behind quarterback Brian Hoyer, but escaped thanks to some great plays from Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Markus Wheaton.

Roethlisberger hit Wheaton twice on the winning drive in sending the Browns to their 10th straight season-opening loss.

Roethlisberger passed for 365 yards and a touchdown.

Hoyer threw for 230 yards and a score in leading the comeback, which should strengthen his grip on the starting job over rookie Johnny Manziel.

“I told those guys at the end of the game that I’ll take that team to the end of the Earth if we’re going to fight back like that,” Hoyer said.

The Bobcats beat Camas Valley 25-11, 25-15, 25-11.

Later, Myrtle Point topped Rogue River 25-20, 25-22, 25-12.

Reedsport Invitational: Glide won the 25th annual Reedsport Invitational on Saturday, beating Siuslaw in the final match.

The Wildcats and Vikings were in the same morning pool, with Coquille and North Douglas.

Glide split with all three teams, while Siuslaw swept Coquille and North Douglas to take first in the pool. Glide won the tiebreaker over Coquille for the second spot in the semifinals because Glide fared better in their two pool games.

Glide won one game 25-18 and Coquille won the other 25-21.

Reedsport won the other pool, sweeping Yoncalla, Oakland and Riddle and not allowing more than 16 points in any game. Oakland took second in the pool.

In the semifinals, Glide beat Reedsport 25-23, 25-19 and Siuslaw topped Oakland, 25-18, 25-12. In the championship match, Glide topped Siuslaw 26-24, 2521.

the first win in four tries for Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton.

That TD, along with the 2point conversion, came 48 seconds after Baltimore newcomer Steve Smith caught an 80-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco.

“There are a lot of tough places to play in this league and this is certainly one of the toughest,” Dalton said.

Mike Nugent kicked five field goals for the Bengals.

Falcons 38, Saints 34, OT: At Atlanta, Bryant kicked a 51-yard field goal on the final play of regulation, then booted a 52-yarder in overtime.

In another thriller between the NFC South rivals, Matt Ryan threw for a franchise-record 448 yards.

The teams combined for 17 points in the final 2:50 of the fourth quarter to force overtime.

The Saints got the ball first, but Marques Colston fumbled after catching a pass over the middle.

Ultimook Race: North Bend’s boys placed second and Marshfield was fifth in the Ultimook Race on Saturday at Hydrangea Ranch.

Marshfield’s Colby Gillett placed third in the race, finishing in 18 minutes, 28 seconds for the challenging 5,000 meter course.

Guy Eroh of Riverdale won in 17:55.

Marshfield’s Sawyer Heckard placed seventh in 18:50.

North Bend also had two runners in the top 10.

Yankees honor Jeter NEW YORK (AP) — Standing on the field with a microphone, the end of his baseball career likely three weeks away, Derek Jeter remained as cool and collected as his play at shortstop over the past two decades.

The New York Yankees honored their retiring captain Sunday with a 45-minute pregame ceremony that included surprise appearances

by NBA great Michael Jordan and baseball ironman Cal Ripken Jr. Reserved as always and with no hints of tears, Jeter thanked people a dozen times as he spoke to a capacity crowd of 48,110 at Yankee Stadium for about 3 minutes before a 20 loss to Kansas City further damaged New York’s slim playoff chances.

“It’s kind of hard to believe that 20 seasons has gone by so quickly,” the 40-year-old Jeter said following a 1 1/2-minute ovation. “You guys have all watched me grow up over the last 20 years.I’ve watched you, too. Some of you guys getting old, too. But I want to thank you for helping me feel like a kid for the last 20 years.”

A 14-time All-Star who is sixth on the career hits list, Jeter sparked a Yankees renaissance that began with a World Series title in 1996 as he won the AL Rookie of the Year award.He led the team to three consecutive championships from 1998-2000, was named captain in 2003 and then won a fifth Series in 2009 that raised the team’s record total to 27.

He missed most of 2013 after breaking his ankle during the playoffs the previous October, made his retirement announcement just before spring training in February and has followed with a

He beat out a grounder to the shortstop hole for an infield single in the first inning and ended the day batting .260 with three homers and 40 RBIs. Jeter produced a series of indelible moments: his homer and over-the-shoulder catch on his first opening day in 1996, backhanded flip to the plate against Oakland in the 2001 playoffs and Mr. November home run just after midnight a few weeks later that won World Series Game 4. There was a face-first dive into the seats for a popup against Boston in 2004, the farewell speech at old Yankee Stadium in 2008 and the home run for his 3,000th hit in 2011.

But a player known as a winner could go out without a coda: The Yankees may miss the playoffs for just the third time since he first came up to the major leagues in 1995.

“In my opinion, I’ve had the greatest job in the world. I got a chance to be the shortstop for the New York Yankees, and there’s only one of those,” he said.“I always felt as though it was my job — was to try to provide joy and entertainment for you guys. But it can’t compare to what you brought me.”

Yankees teammates, at the

suggestion of Chase Headley, stayed in the dugout and allowed Jeter to run to his position alone before “The Star-Spangled Banner” was played on a crisp, sunny afternoon.

While calling it “a day that I’ll remember forever,” Jeter felt “very strange” and “odd” to take in a tribute with 21 games remaining.

“I had to guard against being emotional,” he said. ‘I think my hand was shaking a little bit.”

Jeter embraced Jordan, describing him “like an older brother that I never had.”

Jordan, who played with Jeter in the 1994 Arizona Fall League, praised his pal for surviving New York, where the former basketball star opined “one little hiccup can fry your personality, your persona.”

“He’s maintained doing things the right way, in this time and era that few people take the time to say ‘what if’ before they make a decision,” Jordan said. “He’s made the right decision each and every time.”

There were markings of Jeter’s retirement throughout the ballpark. Instead of team flags showing the standings, a No. 2 logo was flapping above each flagpole. The logo was painted in foul territory on each side, affixed to the left shoulder of each Yankees uniform and also on every cap.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Dodgers 7, Arizona 2: Adrian Gonzalez hit a pair of three-run homers to reach 100 RBIs for the seventh time, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Arizona after Trevor Cahill (3-11) held them hitless for more than five innings.

Zack Greinke (14-8) gave up two runs and six hits before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter during the Dodgers’ three-run sixth.

Dee Gordon ended Cahill’s no-hit bid with a one-out double in the sixth.

Hanley Ramirez walked on four pitches and Gonzalez smacked a 3-1 delivery over the center-field fence.

Pirates 10, Cubs 4: Andrew McCutchen hit one of Pittsburgh’s four homers, and the Pirates moved into the second NL wild-card slot.

The Pirates swept the three-game series against the last-place Cubs to improve to 12-4 against Chicago this season, including 7-2 at Wrigley Field.

Coupled with Milwaukee’s loss to St. Louis, they moved a half-game ahead of the Brewers for the last wild card.

Cardinals 9, Brewers 1: Adam Wainwright (17-9) pitched a seven-hitter for St. Louis, and Peter Boujos had a key two-run triple.

The Cardinals took three of four in the series at Miller Park to open a five-game lead on Milwaukee. The Brewers have lost 11 of 12.

Nationals 3, Phillies 2: Adam LaRoche homered twice, and Washington avoided a series sweep.

Mets 4, Reds 3: Curtis Granderson and Anthony Recker homered, and the Mets scored four unearned runs.

The Reds began the day with a major league-low 62 errors. But center fielder Billy Hamilton dropped a fly ball in New York’s three-run sixth, and Jack Hannahan flubbed Granderson’s foul popup in the eighth. Granderson then hit his 18th homer.

Levenson will sell his interest in the Hawks

Phoenix wins opener in ATLANTA — Less than WNBA final series

one month after the Clippers’ sale ended Donald Sterling’s ugly downfall, another NBA team is on the market following a racially charged disclosure from its owner.

Atlanta Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson said Sunday he is selling his controlling interest in the team, thanks in part to an inflammatory email he wrote two years ago.

Levenson said he wrote the email in an attempt “to bridge Atlanta’s racial sports divide.” Instead, he offered his divisive comments, including his theory that Hawks black fans kept white fans away.

Levenson said he regrets the email sent to the team’s co-owners and general manager Danny Ferry in 2012 as “inappropriate and offensive.” In a statement released by the team, Levenson said he sent the email due to his concerns about low attendance and a need to attract suburban whites.

Phoenix shot a finals record 58.5 percent from the field, Chicago 31.9 percent.

Sylvia Fowles scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Chicago but was just 8 of 20, usually against Griner in a matchup of the last two WNBA defensive players of the year. Elena Delle Donne only played 10 minutes because of a bad back. She didn’t play in the second half with the game already out of reach.

Game 2 of the best-of-5

unbeaten 2014 season RIETI, Italy — American sprinter Justin Gatlin finished the season undefeated by winning the 100 meters in 9.83 seconds at the IAAF world challenge meeting Sunday.

Gatlin won all 18 races he entered this year.

“My season ends now. I need to rest,” Gatlin said.

“The crowd gave me a lot of energy.”

SOCCER Blatter wants to test replay by next year MANCHESTER, England — FIFA President Sepp Blatter wants to test the use of video replays in matches by next year.

Speaking at the SoccerEx conference in a pre-recorded video, Blatter says he wants TV replays used in a domestic league and at the Under20 World Cup in New Zealand in 2015.

Blatter says “we could test such challenge calls.”

Coaches would have the right once or twice in each half to challenge a refereeing decision.

Sports Lakers sweep matches on California trip THE WORLD The Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team swept its four matches in California last week, building momentum for the NWAACC season.

“The entire team played so well,” SWOCC coach Stephanie Willett said.

“It was a nice preview of what’s to come once conference play starts.”

The Lakers started the week beating College of the Siskiyous, 25-20, 25-19, 23-25, 25-7. Gabby White had 12 kills and five solo blocks, Christine Wing had three kills, 38 assists and three aces; Brandi Wilson had 12 digs and three aces; and Hayley Sturgeon had 13 kills

and two solo blocks.

SWOCC swept Lassen College, 2520, 29-27, 25-22. Alyssa Sprague had nine digs while Wing had four kills, 39 assists, four aces and eight digs.

Sturgeon had eight kills and Tori Foutz had 10 kills with no hitting errors, as well as two solo blocks.

The Lakers got their most dominant win against Shasta College, a 25-14, 2511, 25-23 victory. Nikki Rafay had eight kills. Wing had three kills, 30 assists and nine digs; Sprague had 12 digs; and Brea Mosieur had five kills and 10 digs.

In the final match, SWOCC edged Butte College 25-23, 25-23, 26-24.

Sturgeon had 13 kills. Wing had six kills, 25 assists and seven digs. Mosieur had

three aces and eight digs. Sprague contributed 13 digs.

The entire week was good for the team, Willett said.

“We were able to dig ourselves out of holes and come back and win, and that’s something we haven’t had in the past,” she said. “They’re a family out there on the court. They mesh well together and have a common goal in mind.”

The Lakers travel to Ontario, Ore., for the Treasure Valley Crossover Sept.

19-20. They open league play at home against Mount Hood on Sept. 26.

“As a coach, it’s nice to have players that are coachable,” Willett said. “I can’t wait to see what the season has in store for Laker volleyball.”

Manning now has wins against every franchise DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning warned it wasn’t going to be easy replacing Wes Welker.

The Denver Broncos held on to beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-24 on Sunday night after Manning threw three first-half touchdown passes to tight end Julius Thomas.

In his second try, Manning beat his old team and joined Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks to beat each of the current 32 NFL franchises.

“It means I’m old,” Manning cracked.

More heart-pounders like this and Manning will go gray.

The Broncos raced out to a 24-0 lead, a perfect test for GM John Elway’s blueprints for returning to the Super Bowl. He spent more than $100 million on a defensive makeover and retooled his offensive line.

The Broncos were unable to close this one out like they wanted, however.

With Welker serving a fourgame suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performanceenhancing drugs, the Broncos couldn’t convert third downs, going 1 for 7 in the second half after a first half in which they went 6 of 7.

“We’ve got to find a way to play all four quarters as an offense,”

Manning said. “Thank goodness the defense picked us up when the offense wasn’t doing their job quite as well.”

The Broncos fended off a furious comeback attempt by Andrew Luck, who was working wonders behind a patchwork offensive line.

“We did manage to take advantage of some opportunities in the second half that we didn’t in the first. It was good to get that twominute drive right at the end of the half,” said Luck, whose 9-yard scamper made it 24-7 at the break and provided a spark for the Colts.

“Obviously, when you start the way that we started, you dig yourself a hole you can’t come back from,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.

Both teams left the stadium talking about needing to clean up their play.

“It wasn’t the best win, but guess what, it was a great opener,” said DeMarcus Ware, who had 1 1/2 sacks in his Denver debut after franchise-high 117 in nine seasons in Dallas.

Safety Rahim Moore had two interceptions in his first game since Nov. 17, when he underwent emergency surgery on his left calf because of a rare muscle condition

known as compartment syndrome.

Luck brought the Colts within a touchdown when he found Hakeem Nicks for a 9-yard scoring strike with 3:26 remaining. And they got the ball back 28 seconds later after Denver went three-and-out.

Indy’s last drive stalled at midfield when rookie Bradley Roby broke up a fourth-and-6 pass to Reggie Wayne.

“We said we’ve got to make a play to win the game,” Roby said.

“We can’t rely on the offense. It’s on us.”

Thomas’ trio of touchdown grabs tied a franchise record for most in a game. Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe did it three times.

Thomas hauled in a 3-yard touchdown toss with Jerrell Freeman draped on him. Then, he weaved his way for a 35-yard score with D’Quell Jackson in pursuit.

Finally, he beat finally beat LaRon Landry on the line for a 5-yarder.

“I feel like it’s my responsibility to make big plays when my team needs it,” Thomas said. “Something I pride myself on is being ready for man coverage. It’s like backyard football with your little brother or cousins. I don’t believe you should be covered 1-on-1.”

The Associated Press

Denver tight end Julius Thomas (80) scores as Indianapolis free safety Darius Butler defends during the first half Sunday.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Colts had three defenders focused on Thomas when running back Montee Ball bulled his way in from 3 yards out to make it 31-10.

Luck found Dwayne Allen down the Broncos sideline for a 41-yard scoring completion and Indy needed five plays and 49 seconds to cover 45 yards and made it a one-score game.

Denver’s defense came up with

two big stops deep in its territory during a third quarter dominated by Indy. On fourth down at the 1, linebacker Brandon Marshall, making his first career start, stuffed Luck’s run up the middle.

Later, when the Colts had a first down inside the 5, the Broncos held them to Adam Vinatieri’s 25-yard field goal following Ware’s thirddown sack.

Horschel finishes strong at BMW

NFL Patriots are in last place From Page B1 The Falcons recovered at the Saints 38; after three plays gained only 4 yards, Bryant booted through another long field goal.

Dolphins 33, Patriots 20: At Miami Gardens, Florida, Knowshon Moreno rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown, Ryan Tannehill threw for two scores and the Dolphins outscored New England 23-0 in the second half.

Tannehill had touchdown throws to Lamar Miller and Mike Wallace as Miami debuted a faster-paced offense. The Dolphins’ defense made four sacks, all in the second half, and recovered two fumbles.

It was New England’s first loss in an opener since 2003, and marks the first time the Patriots will not be at least tied for the AFC East lead since Week 3 of 2012.

Bills 23, Bears 20, OT: At Chicago, Fred Jackson set up Dan Carpenter’s field goal in overtime with a 38-yard run to the 1.

The Bears punted to open the extra period and Buffalo took over on its 22. The Bills (1-0) got to the Chicago 39 when Jackson turned toward the left side and broke off his big run, pushing safety Chris Conte out of the way twice inside the 10.

Carpenter won it with a 27-yarder.

Eagles 34, Jaguars 17: At Philadelphia, Nick Foles threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin in the fourth quarter and the Eagles rallied from a 17-0 secondhalf deficit.

Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes to rookie Allen Hurns in the first quarter. But the Eagles scored TDs on their first two possessions in the third quarter. Cody Parkey hit a 51-yard field goal on his first career attempt in the fourth quarter to tie it 1717.

Then Foles made a perfect deep throw to a wide-open Maclin for the longest pass of his career to put the Eagles ahead 24-17.

49ers 28, Cowboys 17:

The Associated Press

Miami defensive tackle Jared Odrick (98) celebrates with the defensive line during the second half of the Dolphins win over New England on Sunday.

At Arlington, Texas, Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes to Vernon Davis, one right after the first of three interceptions of Tony Romo.

The 49ers also got a 35yard fumble return on the second play of the game when Chris Culliver picked up a loose ball stripped from DeMarco Murray.

Coming off a spotty preseason for his offense, Kaepernick was efficient if not prolific, going 16 of 23 for 201 yards without an interception.

Romo was playing his first meaningful game for the Cowboys since back surgery in December.

Texans 17, Redskins 6: At Houston, rookie Alfred Blue blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown and the Texans snapped a 14game losing streak.

The Texans led 7-6 after a 76-yard touchdown reception by DeAndre Hopkins in the second quarter. Blue blocked Washington’s punt on the next drive, scooped it up and returned it 5 yards to push the lead to 14-6 in Bill O’Brien’s first game as an NFL head coach.

First overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney had a tackle for a loss in the first half before leaving with a knee injury.

Robert Griffin III threw for 267 yards, but Washington was done in by

two second-half fumbles in Jay Gruden’s debut as an NFL head coach.

Vikings 34, Rams 6: At St. Louis, receiver Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for 102 yards on three carries with a 67-yard scoring run off a pitchout and the Vikings opened impressively under new coach M ike Zimmer.

The Rams handled Adrian Peterson, limiting the star runner to 75 yards on 21 carries. They had zero luck with Patterson, who had three touchdowns rushing as a rookie.

Rams quarterback Shaun Hill lasted one half as the stand-in starter for Sam Bradford, missing the rest of the game with a thigh injury and leaving untested Austin Davis in charge.

Titans 26, Chiefs 10: At Kansas City, Missouri, Jake Locker threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns, while Alex Smith was intercepted three times.

Locker picked apart a defense that lost linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive tackle Mike DeVito to Achilles tendon injuries.

Kendall Wright and Delanie Walker had TD catches for the Titans, and Ryan Succop was perfect on four field-goal attempts against the team that released him last weekend.

Jets 19, Raiders 14: At East Rutherford, New Jersey,

Chris Ivory burst through a few tackle attempts for a 71yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter, and the Jets’ defense clamped down on Oakland rookie quarterback Derek Carr.

A 2-point conversion failed after Ivory’s score, but the Jets held on to win their season opener.

Geno Smith threw a 5yard touchdown pass to Chris Johnson as the Jets sent the Raiders to their 14th straight loss in the Eastern time zone.

Carr went 20 of 32 for 151 yards and touchdown throws to Rod Streater and James Jones.

Panthers 20, Buccaneers 14: At Tampa, Florida, Derek Anderson filled in nicely for injured Cam Newton, throwing for 230 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite rallying with two late TDs, it was an ugly debut for the Bucs under coach Lovie Smith. The defense applied little pressure on Anderson, and an offense that was among the worst in the NFL in 2013 showed few signs of improvement until midway through the fourth quarter.

Newton cheered from the sideline because of a rib injury suffered in preseason, Anderson completed 24 of 34 passes, with TDs of 5 yards to Greg Olsen and 26 yards to rookie Kelvin Benjamin.

Chiefs lose top linebacker to injury THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was a rough opening game for the Kansas City Chiefs, who lost Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson to a torn Achilles tendon.

Johnson went down late in the first half Sunday with nobody around and needed to be carted off the field. Kansas City lost another defensive starter, Mike DeVito, in the second half to the same injury in a loss to Tennessee.

“We’ve got some guys that need to step up and get ready to play,” Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston said. “Guys go down all the time and you need to step up.”

Houston had a scare when Jadeveon Clowney, the top overall pick in this year’s draft, injured his knee and didn’t return in a win over the Redskins.

Coach Bill O’Brien didn’t provide much more information on Clowney’s health after the game.

“They think it’s a good prognosis, so it looks like it’s going to be OK,” O’Brien said. “He may miss some time, he may not. Who knows? So we’ll know better as the week goes on.”

It wasn’t clear how Clowney was injured, but it happened late in the second quarter. He looked to be arguing with the team doctor as the pair walked off the field to the locker room a couple of minutes before halftime.

The Rams already lost one quarterback for the season when Sam Bradford injured his knee in the third preseason game. Shaun Hill left St. Louis’ loss against Minnesota with a left quadriceps injury. St. Louis also lost defensive end Chris Long to a left ankle injury.

Carolina was without starting quarterback Cam Newton, who fractured his ribs in a preseason game last month. He was declared inactive before the Panthers played Tampa Bay. Cleveland tight end Jordan Cameron

aggravated a shoulder injury after catching two passes for 47 yards against Pittsburgh. The Browns also lost running back Ben Tate to a knee injury.

Washington tight end Jordan Reed strained his hamstring at Houston.

Other injuries included Steelers’ rookie running back Dri Archer, who left the win over the Browns with left knee and ankle injuries.

Chiefs right tackle Jeff Allen left with a strained biceps. Titans linebacker Zach Brown injured his shoulder.

Bills linebacker Keith Rivers injured his groin in a win at Chicago.

Jacksonville lost safety Johnathan Cyprien and linebacker J.T. Thomas to head injuries at Philadelphia. Miami lost starting linebackers Danell Ellerbee (hip) and Koa Misi (ankle) in the first half in a victory over Miami.

Tampa Bay lost newly acquired guard Logan Mankins to a knee injury in the second quarter.

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) — The bad swing a week ago is a distant memory. The blown lead Sunday — that wasn’t enough to derail Billy Horschel, either.

Horschel let a three-shot lead drop to nothing early in the final round of the BMW Championship before rebounding for a two-stroke victory over Bubba Watson.

Horschel shot a 1-under 69 and finished at 14-under 266 to put himself in prime position for the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million bonus at the Tour Championship next week.

“If I were a betting man, I’d put some money on me,” said Horschel, who made $1.44 million for his second career PGA Tour victory.

Horschel heads into the final week of the playoff chase in second place in the points standings thanks to the victory and his tie for second a week ago — when he chunked a 6-iron well short on the final hole at TPC Boston, squandering a chance to win or force extra holes with playoff leader Chris Kirk.

This time, nursing a twoshot lead, the 27-year-old from Grant, Florida, smoothed a 9-iron into the middle of the 18th green and the only drama was whether he’d have time for a quick pit stop before he had to putt.

Horschel sprinted up the fairway, ducked under the ropes and was back in plenty of time to two-putt and close out the victory.

“Obviously, after last week, a lot of people on Twitter were calling me a choker,” Horschel said. “I didn’t choke. I made one bad swing at a bad time. To start with a three-shot lead today and hold on means a lot.”

About an hour earlier, it

was another chunked shot that drastically altered the course of the tournament.

Ryan Palmer erased his opening three-shot deficit to Horschel and was tied after six holes, then again after 11.

Palmer was one behind as the final threesome walked down the 13th fairway, with Horschel buried in the right rough and Palmer buried in the left. Horschel hit his second shot safely on the green. Palmer shanked his into a small creek that runs in front of the green. He made double bogey to fall three behind.

“A shank? (Doesn’t happen) very often,” Palmer said.

“But I’m doing with the downhill, down in the rough, I’m blaming it on that. But it happens. It’s a fickle game.”

That left Sergio Garcia, who cut a seven-shot deficit to two, as the last true threat, but his chance imploded on the par-5 17th — when he laid up, cooked his third shot over the green, then chipped into the water. He made a triplebogey 8 — sullying a round of 67. He finished at 9 under, tied for fourth with Palmer (71), Rickie Fowler (68) and Jim Furyk (66).

“It’s what happens when you’re not mentally sharp,” Garcia said about the decision not to go for the green in two. “Then, just a mistake after another mistake.”

Horschel said losing the lead early didn’t bother him much.

“That’s why you have a three-shot lead. To have a little wiggle room,” he said.

Unlike Palmer and Garcia, Watson, who shot 66, never truly threatened to take the lead, but he didn’t blow up, either. He missed a 25-foot birdie putt on 18 that would’ve drawn him within one of Horschel, who was behind him in the fairway.

Portland secures tie with late goal SANTA CLARA, Calif.

(AP) — Kalif Alhassan scored in the 86th minute to give the Portland Timbers a 3-3 tie Jose with the San Earthquakes on Sunday.

Portland (8-8-11) moved into sole possession of the fifth and final playoff position in the Western Conference, one point ahead of Vancouver. San Jose (610-9) is eight points behind the Timbers.

“It was another wild one,” Portland coach Caleb Porter said. “We certainly were entertaining here. The fans get their money’s worth.”

Alhassan ran onto a loose ball in the penalty area and slotted a shot past goalkeeper Jon Busch.

Alhassan tied it a minute after Chris Wondolowski scored his second of the game and 12th of the season for San Jose. Wondolowski rose above Portland’s defense to head in a looping cross.

“It was disappointing to go up 3-2 with very little time left on the clock and see it slip away,” San Jose coach Mark Watson said. “I know we’ve got a disappointed group of guys right now.”

San Jose took a 2-0 lead on goals by Wondolowski in the 21st minute and Cordell Cato in the 48th. Alvas Powell countered for Portland in the 54th, and Liam Ridgewell tied it in the 74th.

Wondolowski opened the scoring off a rebound, putting a left-footed shot past three defenders, and Cato made it 2-0 when he beat goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. Powell scored for Portland on a shot that deflected in off the far post, and Ridgewell jammed home a shot to tie it.

“It’s a four-team race for that fifth spot,” Porter said.

“We got one point, but three points would have put a lot more pressure on the teams below us.”

Sports Big Ten struggles in the spotlight Oregon moves up to No. 2 in AP Poll after big win ■

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Breaking down the ballots for the AP Top 25 and wrapping up college football’s second weekend.

BIG FLOP The Big Ten has already used up just about all its leeway when it comes to placing a team in the College Football Playoff.

Three marquee nonconference games for the league on Saturday produced zero victories. In the biggest game, Michigan State lost 46-27 at Oregon and dropped to No. 13 in the latest AP Top 25.

“It’s not a dispositive narrative, it’s a developing narrative,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. “So many good teams haven’t played top competition.”

Florida State is still No. 1 and Oregon used the biggame boost to slip past Alabama into second. The Tide is No. 3, with Oklahoma No. 4.

Alabama’s Southeastern Conference rivals Auburn (No. 5), Georgia (No. 6) and Texas A&M) (No. 7) give the SEC four of the top seven teams in the media panel voting.

Quarterback Connor Cook and the Spartans controlled a chunk of the game at Autzen Stadium and acquitted themselves well overall, before the Ducks made one last sprint.

Still, in the end, the defending Big Ten champions couldn’t hang for 60 minutes.

Ohio State plummeted in the rankings 14 spots to No. 22 after losing 35-21 to Virginia Tech in front a record-setting crowd at Horseshoe in Columbus. The resurgent Hokies leapt into the ranking for the first time since the middle of the last season, landing at No. 17.

Anybody who was holding out hope the Buckeyes could still be a playoff contender without injured star quarterback Braxton Miller now has to face a stark reality: Ohio State’s rebuilt and inexperienced offense, especially its line, can’t avoid being exposed when it’s being led by first-year starter at quarterback. J.T. Barrett has the makings of a fine quarterback, but Ohio State needed Miller’s explosiveness and experience to mask its other deficiencies.

“We had all kinds of issues that we have to get a lot better at,” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said.

Then there’s Michigan.

The Wolverines were unranked to start this season, but the annual early season test against Notre Dame provided an opportunity to show that last season’s lackluster 7-6 performance — which included a victory against the Fighting Irish — was behind them.

Instead, it was 31-0 Notre Dame in the last scheduled game between the rivals.

It was the first time since 1988 that Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio

DUCKS From Page B1 Less than three minutes after Allen’s second score, Mariota found Keanon Lowe, this time from 37 yards out, to give the Ducks the lead 3227.

True freshman running back Royce Freeman added a pair of touchdown runs in the fourth quarter, including a 14-yard dash with 1:25 left to ice the victory.

“It feels good to know your hard work paid off,” said Freeman, who finished with 91 yards on 13 carries and the two scores. “We turned up the tempo a little bit and that wore them down.”

The Ducks offense, which is usually predicated on an aggressive running game, only mustered 14 yards in the first half. In the second, the Ducks had 159.

“Once they got tired, they stopped blitzing, and that made (running) easier for us,”

State all lost on the same day.

There were also shaky victories for Nebraska (31-24 against McNeese State) and Iowa (17-13 against Ball State).

With plenty of season to go, eliminating the Big Ten from the playoff race all together would be premature.

“The narrative is still developing for each team and for each of the conferences,” Delany said. “It will develop into a full narrative by Dec. 7 not Sept. 7.”

Nebraska can still go undefeated. There is still a chance for the Big Ten champion to go 12-1. And history tells us that at the end of the season, there are rarely more than a handful of teams from the power conferences with one or no losses.

Michigan State, especially, at 12-1 could still look pretty good compared to a bunch of teams with two or even three losses.

But the most sobering fact for the Big Ten is this: Does any of these teams look as if it can win the rest of its games?

GOING UP Marcus Mariota’s great escape against Michigan State, when he eluded a rush and shoveled a pass to convert a first down in the third quarter, fueled Oregon’s comeback and provided a Heisman Trophy moment for the Ducks’ talented quarterback.

Mariota was good early and late against the Spartans, finishing with 318 yards passing and 42 rushing.

Mariota, along with last year’s Heisman winner Jameis Winston, were the clear preseason favorites for the award. Only one player has ever won two Heismans (Ohio State’s Archie Griffin in 1974-75), and the recent history of players trying to repeat suggests that Winston won’t, if for no other reason than he’s set the bar too high.

Winston’s off-field issues might also hurt him with voters.

Mariota should have received more Heisman recognition last year, when he put up numbers that matched well with Johnny Manziel and Winston, but wasn’t even a finalist.

This year he’s the feelgood story, having returned for another year after he could have jumped to the NFL and been a possible first-round pick.

The Heisman Trophy hasn’t been won by a player who would have been considered one of the preseason frontrunners since Ohio State’s Troy Smith in 2006. Mariota is set up to make a similar run.

MOVING IN No. 25 BYU joined Virginia Tech in making its season poll debut this week. The Cougars beat Texas 41-7 in Austin, making it two straight routs against the Longhorns.

The Cougars schedule isn’t as daunting as it was last year, when they also played (and lost to) Wisconsin and Notre Dame. There are plenty of tricky games left for BYU, starting with Thursday night’s short turnaround against Houston.

Allen said.

Allen, who doubles as a star for Oregon’s track team in the offseason, finished with just three catches, but tallied 110 yards and two touchdowns. He likes making the most of his opportunities.

“As an athlete, as a receiver, as a running back, you always want to score when you get the ball,” Allen said.

“I do a lot of preparing for it, so when it happens, I can just play.”

The win had Oregon jump Alabama to move to No. 2 nationally in the Associated Press rankings. will host Oregon Wyoming on Saturday before traveling for its first road and conference game against Washington State on Sept. 20 in Spokane.

“For us, we’re 2-0,” Mariota said of the win. “It doesn’t change anything at all.

“We’re 2-0 now and we’re just looking forward to next week.”

Beavers hold on for win over Hawaii

BY BRAD FUQUA Corvallis Gazette-Times HONOLULU — In the first half, the Oregon State football team’s persona represented what veteran coach Mike Riley wants to see. The second half was another story.

Despite late-game challenges, the Beavers escaped Aloha Stadium on Saturday night with a 38-30 victory to start the season 2-0.

“We’ll work on the stuff we need to work on,” Riley said. “They know it, I don’t have to say anything to them. We came over here to win and we did. We’ll get better, I know all that, so do they.

You have to give the other team some credit, too.”

OSU opened the game by scoring on its first two possessions on the way to a 31-7 lead by halftime. Hawaii seemed down and out but turnovers reared their ugly head to get the Rainbow Warriors back in the contest.

“You get a punt blocked, you fumble a kickoff return, I mean all the classic stuff,” Riley said about Hawaii’s comeback. “They get momentum and they get excited and you go into a shell a little bit. Then they make plays. I’ve seen that happen lots of times. I’m just glad we held them off to win the game.”

Hawaii coach Norm Chow said his team just needs to gain experience to get over the hump in these contests. “We always get great effort from our players and I love them for that,” Chow said.

“They just need to play smarter, but that comes with maturity. When you play a good team like Oregon State, you just can’t make mistakes, but I don’t think we ever quit believing.”

OSU quarterback Sean Mannion completed 26 of 37 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns. His primary target was Victor Bolden, who caught 11 balls for 119 yards and a TD.

“I think we can grow in all areas,” Mannion said. “We got off to a good start, I think that’s fair to say. But within that, there are probably some plays we could make a little better.”

Bolden said the offense ran a little smoother from the season opener but the team just couldn’t maintain for the full 60.

“I felt like the team kind of let off the gas,” Bolden said. “We have to make sure we execute and finish the game.”

Hawaii opened the game moving the chains but that all ended at the OSU 16.

Beavers defensive tackle Siale Hautai forced and recovered a fumble and five plays later, OSU led 7-0.

On the five-play, 84-yard drive that followed, Mannion completed all three of his pass attempts for 81 yards, which included a 40-yard completion to Bolden and a 37-yard toss to Connor Hamlett. The TD came on a 4-yard pass to Richard Mullaney at the 10:12 mark.

After a three-and-out by the OSU defense, the Beavers scored again on their second possession. This time, the drive went 60 yards in five plays with the TD coming on a 5-yard pass from Mannion to Hamlett. Senior running back Terron Ward showed an early flash of a good night when he broke off a 35yard run on that second drive. Two pass interference penalties on the Rainbow Warriors also helped OSU’s cause.

The Beavers made it 21-0 early in the second quarter when Ward found daylight on a 32-yard TD run down the left sideline. At that point, OSU was having an easy time of it.

“Yes, that’s a little picture, if we can keep it going,” Riley said what he wants to see with his offense. “We need to get some big plays down the field. We need to have a good mixture of run-pass.”

Ward finished the game with 124 yards on 15 carries.

Hawaii finally got on the scoreboard

with 10:52 left in the second quarter but only had 6 yards to go to the end zone.

TJ Taimatuia intercepted Mannion at the line of scrimmage to give Hawaii the ball at the 6. Joey Iosefa later scored on a 2-yard run. A third-down pass interference penalty on OSU also helped Hawaii get into the end zone. By the end of the first half, the Beavers had a 31-7 lead, scoring another three points on a 27yard field goal by Garrett Owens and then on a 2-yard run by Ward to cap an 84-yard drive in just seven plays.

In the second half, OSU picked up right where it left off and scored on its opening drive. The Beavers converted twice on third down, one of those coming on a 22-yard reception by Hunter Jarmon, the first of his OSU career.

Bolden scored the TD on an 8-yard catch despite pass interference by Hawaii.

OSU’s barrage of points slowed down and Hawaii began its late comeback. Lance Williams blocked an OSU punt to set up a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Rahmel Dockery fumbled and Hawaii recovered. However, OSU’s defense responded and limited the Rainbow Warriors to a field goal.

In all, Hawaii scored 23 points in the fourth quarter with Iosefa ending up with three touchdowns. Mannion and the OSU offense, however, was just too much over the full four quarters.

“It seems like it’s just a broken record,” Chow said. “We played really hard and I’m really proud of our effort but we just can’t make the mistakes that we do. Their quarterback knew exactly what he was doing and did what he wanted. We just have to keep fighting.”

Riley was just happy to get out of Aloha Stadium with the victory, no matter how it finished.

“It’s going to stay in that (win) column over there ... it’ll be over there forever,” Riley said. “We’ll take it.”

Portland State beats Western Oregon FROM WIRE AND STAFF REPORTS PORTLAND — Paris Penn raced 48 yards for a touchdown and passed 36 yards for another in the fourth quarter to help Portland State pull away from Division II We s t e r n Oregon and hold on for a 45-38 win Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium.

Coquille graduate Joe Harris scored a touchdown for the Wolves in the loss.

Starter Kieran McDonagh staked the Vikings (1-1) to a 17-0 lead early, tossing a 10yard TD pass to Thomas Carter in the first quarter and

Small Schools

dashing 10 yards for a second score early in the second. He added a 48-yard strike to Kasey Closs as time expired in the first half to make it 24-14.

Western Oregon’s Ryan Bergman was 32 of 61 for 413 yards and three touchdowns, including a 48-yard toss to Paul Revis with 46 seconds left in the game.

Shaquille Richard carried 14 times for 151 yards and a touchdown for Portland State. Close pulled in six passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns.

Harris finished with 12 yards on six carries for Western Oregon, but scored on a 3-yard run in the opening moments of the fourth quarter to help the Wolves tie the game at 31. Harris also

caught one pass for 7 yards.

Southern Oregon 38, Carroll 35: The Raiders upset the No. 2-ranked visitors as Austin Dodge passed for 281 yards and two touchdowns.

Coquille graduate Heston Altenbach had five tackles in the win.

Arizona Christian 30, George Fox 27: The Bruins played their first game in 46 years, coming up just short at home in front of 3,659 fans.

Grant Schroeder completed 20 of 37 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.

The win was the first in school history for the Firestorm.

North Bend graduate Mason Laird and Gold Beach

graduates Cole Walker and Brandon Adams are on the George Fox roster, though none of the three played Saturday.

College of Idaho 35, Pacific 34: The Boxers came up just short in their opener as the Coyotes held off two Pacific comeback attempts in the fourth quarter.

Warner Shaw went 16for-25 passing for 244 yards and three scores in his first start for Pacific.

Whitworth 63, Lewis & Clark 10: The Pirates outscored the Pioneers 56-7 in the final three quarters to win at Spokane.

The biggest highlight for Lewis & Clark in its season opener was a 93-yard kickoff return by Curtis Shirey.

Sarkisian regrets Saturday situation LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian regrets asking athletic director Pat Haden to come down to the field at Stanford Stadium on Saturday for what turned into a confrontation with game officials.

Haden also issued a statement of apology Sunday night for the weird moment between the third and fourth quarters of No. 9 USC’s 13-10 victory over No. 15 Stanford.

Haden said he will stay off USC’s sideline for the next two games, and Sarkisian said he shouldn’t have summoned his boss down from the press box during a dispute with officials.

“It was just a spur-ofthe-moment, gut feeling,” Sarkisian said. “Quite honestly, looking back at it now, I

regret putting Pat in that situation.”

Haden jogged onto the field after getting a text from a member of the USC staff on the sideline. The Trojans had just been hit with 35 yards in penalties on three straight plays, with Sarkisian getting whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct and star linebacker Hayes Pullard getting ejected for targeting the head of Stanford’s Ty Montgomery on a punt return.

Haden ended up in an animated discussion with the officiating crew while Sarkisian sought clarification of the calls. Sarkisian wishes he hadn’t put Haden in a potentially embarrassing situation.

“It’s my job to manage the game,” Sarkisian said. “Pat’s job is not to manage the game

and manage the officials.

That’s my job to do.”

Haden is a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee, which chooses and seeds the teams that will play for the national championship. He is one of five active athletic directors on the ostensibly impartial 13-member committee.

Haden apologized to Pac12 Commissioner Larry Scott, the officials, Stanford and fans “for any distraction I might have caused.”

“In retrospect, I should not have approached the game officials,” Haden said. “I should have waited until after the game and gone through the appropriate channels.”

Haden vowed to stay off the sideline at Saturday’s road game at Boston College and USC’s home game against

Oregon State on Sept. 27.

During the game, Haden told a sideline reporter that Sarkisian felt the penalty against him was unfair. After the game, Sarkisian said the call against him had been correct for leaving the coaching area, although he didn’t understand why the officials had interpreted an elastic rule quite so literally.

Sarkisian and Haden didn’t affect a remarkable victory for the Trojans (2-0, 1-0 Pac-12), who moved up five spots in the AP Top 25 after knocking off the two-time defending Pac-12 champions on the road in just Sarkisian’s second game in charge.

USC isn’t sure whether Pullard will be suspended for the first half of the Trojans’ game at Boston College for his targeting penalty.

Sports TENNIS From Page B1 When it was over, Williams dropped to her back behind the baseline, covering her hands with her face. Her first major trophy also came in New York, in 1999, when she was 17.

This time, Williams earned $4 million, a record in tennis — $3 million for the title, plus a $1 million bonus for having had the best results during the North American summer hardcourt circuit.

A few weeks shy of her 33rd birthday, making the American the oldest major champion since Navratilova was 33 at Wimbledon in 1990, Williams powered this way and that in her blackand-pink hightops.

Wozniacki is the one training for the New York City Marathon, but she was tuckered out by the end.

Wozniacki may as well have been an extra in this Williams highlight reel.

Points were directed by Williams, via serves that reached 120 mph (194 kph), forceful returns that backed Wozniacki into a corner when not producing outright winners, unreachable groundstrokes or the occasional volley.

“From a different planet,” said Wozniacki’s father, Piotr, who also coaches her.

“Come on, there’s no chance.”

Yes, this was all about Williams. At times, it felt as if Wozniacki were there because, well, someone needed to be on the opposite side of the net.

They’ve been pals for years, and they hung out together in Miami — heading to the beach, watching an

NBA playoff game — after both lost early at the French Open in May. Wozniacki says Williams helped her get over the end of her engagement to golf star Rory McIlroy.

Williams said she planned to invite Wozniacki along for Sunday night’s championship celebration.

“We’re both going to do anything possible to win the match,” said Wozniacki, a 24-year-old from Denmark who reached No. 1 in the rankings in 2010, a year after losing to Kim Clijsters in the U.S. Open final.

“After the match, we’re friends again.”

Mouratoglou noted the obvious: It didn’t matter one bit to Williams who she was facing.

“Yeah, they’re friends,” the coach said, “but on the other side, believe me, Serena has zero friends.”

The last time she was at a major, Williams followed her early Wimbledon singles exit with an odd episode in doubles, appearing disoriented and quitting after three games because of what she called a “bug.”

“After Wimbledon, I was just so disappointed,” Williams said. “I also realized I just needed to relax a little more. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I don’t have to put pressure on myself.”

When she met with Mouratoglou after Wimbledon to discuss how to proceed, he recalled Sunday, “She coached me. She told me, ‘Look, you are a guy who likes challenges. I am so low.

You should be motivated by that.”’

Since that chat in Paris, Williams has won 19 of 20 matches and three titles.

Only one number mattered to her Sunday night, though: 18.

Brad Keselowski celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday.

Keselowski earns top seed for Chase

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — NASCAR’s new win-and-in format had the potential to give one driver a shot at a dramatic last-grasp berth into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

There were 17 drivers who could have raced their way into the Chase by winning Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, but Brad Keselowski would have nothing to do with a storybook ending.

Keselowski routed the Richmond field, leading all but 17 of the 400 laps en route to his fourth victory of the season. It gave him the top seed in the Chase, which begins next Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

“What a night. I pulled into Victory lane and I pinched myself once to make sure I wasn’t dreaming,” said Keselowski, the 2012 champion. “These are nights you don’t forget as a driver and you live for.”

Kevin Harvick was the only driver who appeared capable of challenging Keselowski, but it was early in the race when he led the other 17 laps that Keselowski did not claim. His StewartHaas Racing team again struggled on pit road.

“It’s probably the biggest thing that we have to fix in order to contend for the championship,” Harvick said.

The lack of on-track action meant the only drama to come out of the race was when a fan climbed to the top of the Turn 4 catchfence that separates the track from the grandstands. NASCAR was forced to throw the caution flag with 69 laps remaining. A track spokesThe Associated Press woman said the unidentified man was Bob, left, and Mike Bryan raise the men’s doubles championship trophy arrested by Henrico County police and after defeating Marc Lopez and Marcel Granollers in the championship charged with being drunk in public and disorderly conduct. match at the U.S. Open on Sunday.

“If he wants to play in traffic, it’s his problem,” said Denny Hamlin, who dropped two laps down because of the caution.

Bryans team for title

NEW YORK (AP) — For their 100th tournament title, the Bryan brothers broke out a new victory celebration.

Not that they planned it this way. The twins were so excited to win their first Grand Slam championship in more than a year that they botched their signature chest bump at Sunday’s U.S. Open final.

Mike wound up leaping into Bob’s arms after they beat 11th-seeded Spaniards Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez 6-3, 6-4.

“I don’t think we have ever done this kind of ‘Dirty Dancing’ swan dive,” said Mike, who faulted his brother for not lifting off. “That was a first.”

“You felt light as a feather,” Bob teased him.

Nothing was going to faze them after they tied a record with their fifth U.S. Open men’s doubles title. Richard Sears and James Dwight also won five — way back in the 1880s.

The Bryans now own the Open-era mark, moving ahead of Bob Lutz and Stan Smith. It’s also the brothers’ 16th major championship, extending their record.

“I was having flashbacks to my whole career towards the end of that match,” Bob said. “It was wild. I was thinking juniors, college.”

They played their first tournament at age 6 in Agoura Hills, California, when they met in the novice singles final and won the doubles. The trophies have piled up since: NCAA championships, Olympic gold medals.

But the top-ranked Bryans hadn’t celebrated one of these Grand Slam titles since 2013 Wimbledon, an eternity by their standards.

They were in danger of finishing a year without a major

championship for the first time since 2004.

Back at their home Grand Slam event, the 36-year-old Americans ended the drought.

Asked if they believed in karma, Mike joked, “We pick up trash when we see litter on the street.”

After tough three-set victories in their past two matches, they controlled play against Granollers and Lopez, who beat them in the French Open quarters en route to the Spaniards’ first Grand Slam final.

“It was kind of our best match of the tournament against a really tough team that posed a lot of challenges,” Mike said.

About the only thing that went wrong Sunday was during their post-match news conference, when Mike tried to beckon to Bob’s 2-year-old daughter Micaela to join them on the podium. She took a few hesitant steps forward then burst into tears while her little brother, Bobby Jr., babbled away.

In the women’s doubles final Saturday, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina won their second Grand Slam doubles title, ending Martina Hingis’ run at the U.S. Open.

The fourth-seeded Russians rallied from down a set and break to beat Hingis and Flavia Pennetta 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Playing doubles in her latest comeback from retirement, the 33-year-old Hingis was in her first major final since the 2002 Australian Open. She has won nine Grand Slam doubles titles to go with her five major singles championships.

Makarova and Vesnina also won the 2013 French Open.

Defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson finished eighth but was apparently suffering from dehydration when he exited the car. He first laid down next to his car, then had to be helped to a cart by his Hendrick Motorsports crew. He was taken to the infield care center, where he was treated for roughly 90 minutes.

Johnson, who canceled his planned Sunday participation in a sprint triathlon for his foundation, said he was treated with five liters of fluids.

“I got dehydrated in the car and I’m not exactly sure what led to it,” he said.

“I started cramping when I got out of the race car and when I was cramping, I was trying to stand up and I got dizzy, so I sat back down.”

Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon said it gets hot in the car.

“I know there was a couple times throughout the race where I felt like I was cramping, as well,” Gordon said.

“It’s hot out there. It’s hard to keep your fluids.”

Nothing fazed Keselowski, who came to Richmond a year ago needing a strong finish to make the Chase field, but failed and was not eligible to defend his title. Now he’ll try to give Team Penske a season sweep — Will Power gave the organization the IndyCar championship a week ago.

“I think last year was a bit of a kick in the butt,” Keselowski said. “It was enough to really push us all and find another level. We did a great job in 2012, but in the sports world you’ve got to keep progressing. Everyone else progressed and we didn’t.”

There were two spots up for grab in the 16-driver Chase field, but Ryan Newman and Greg Biffle pretty much entered the race in control of their own fate. Newman never left anything to chance with a strong ninth-place finish, and Biffle slid into the final spot

with a 19-place finish.

“When you are that far off, it is the hardest thing in the world to drive,” Biffle said. “This is the toughest thing I’ve ever done in my life, drive and try to stay in the top 20.”

Gordon, the points leader for much of the regular season, finished second.

Clint Bowyer, who needed to win to guarantee his Chase berth, was a disappointing third.

“I knew coming in here, it was a long shot at best,” Bowyer said. “We put it all out there. I raced as hard as we could. At our very best, we were a third-place race car tonight at my very best race track.”

Bowyer was caught in the middle of a scandal at this race a year ago when his late-race spin set in motion a chain of events that helped then-teammate Martin Truex Jr. make the Chase at the expense of Newman. NASCAR eventually threw Truex out of the Chase, put Newman in and added Gordon as an additional driver.

He was dejected Saturday night after coming up short, but said his Michael Waltrip Racing team wasn’t championship-level, anyway.

“If you make the Chase, you want to compete for a championship,” he said.

“Truth be told, we’re not there right now.”

Tony Stewart, in his second race back since he sat out three after his sprint car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. at a New York dirt track, finished 15th. He would have been eligible to compete in the Chase if he won Saturday night’s race based on a waiver NASCAR gave him upon his return last week. The three-time champion had cracked the top 10 but his crew missed a lug nut on a late pit stop that took him out of contention.

“That’s all I had, bud,” he radioed his crew.

Hamilton beats teammate Rosberg in Italy MONZA, Italy (AP) — First it was physical contact.

Now it’s turning into a psychological battle.

The fierce rivalry between the Mercedes teammates dominating Formula One took a new turn Sunday when Lewis Hamilton pressured Nico Rosberg into a mistake and overtook him to win the Italian Grand Prix.

“You have to be prepared for the unexpected,” Hamilton said. “I’m quite grateful for today that I didn’t lose it, didn’t crash into anyone on that first corner. ... I managed to keep my head.”

At the Belgian GP two weeks ago, Rosberg finished second after crashing into Hamilton early and sending his teammate out of the incident-packed race — resulting in disciplinary measures from Mercedes and a reportedly hefty fine for Rosberg.

The key event this time came on lap 29 of 53 as Hamilton had recovered from a poor start to pull up right into Rosberg’s rear-view mirrors.

Feeling Hamilton’s presence behind him, Rosberg braked hard and drove straight through the Monza circuit’s first chicane at the end of the main straightaway.

Rosberg was slowed as he had to slalom through obstacles on the escape road, while all Hamilton had to do was stay on the track and he easily passed Rosberg.

Hamilton then cruised to his second win in Monza, his sixth victory of the season and the 28th of his Formula One career.

“Lewis was quick so I needed to up my pace and as a result I made a mistake,”

The Associated Press

Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, foreground, drives off the track while his teammate Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain overtakes him during the Italian Formula One Grand Prix on Sunday.

Rosberg said. “It was very bad and that lost me the lead in the end. It’s definitely very disappointing.”

Rosberg made the same mistake earlier in the race.

“It’s not like many other races I’ve seen with Nico. He rarely made mistakes and two today in the same place,” Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff said. “Nico was under massive pressure from Lewis and Lewis deserved the win today.

Hamilton cut Rosberg’s championship lead from 29 to 22 points with six races remaining.

Rosberg crossed 3.1 seconds behind, and Felipe Massa of Williams was third, a distant 21.8 seconds back.

Valtteri Bottas in the other Williams finished fourth and Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull was fifth.

Hamilton started the season strongly by winning four of the opening five races then had a series of problems which allowed Rosberg to take over control of the championship. Now, Rosberg is the one having problems.

While they are both 29, Hamilton has more experience. He won the F1 title in 2008 by one point ahead of Massa.

“If you want to be a world champion you have to go through lows and highs,” Wolff said. “You need extreme mental strength to make it to the end and win the championship and I think both of them have that in them.”

For the second consecutive race, Rosberg was booed on the podium.

“Maybe that’s something you also need to survive if you want to make it to the top,” Wolff said.

It was a disappointing day for the Ferrari drivers before their home “tifosi” — fans — as Kimi Raikkonen finished ninth and Fernando Alonso’s race ended on lap 30 due to a technical problem that resulted in the Spaniard pulling to a stop at the end of the main straightaway.

Ferrari dropped to fourth in the constructor’s standings behind Williams in third.

Mercedes holds a massive

182-point lead in the team category ahead of Red Bull.

Hamilton and Rosberg qualified 1-2 and fans had anticipated a battle between the pair at the first corner.

But at the start, Hamilton had a technical problem and dropped to fourth heading into the first chicane behind Rosberg, McLaren’s Kevin Magnussen and Massa.

Hamilton rebounded by passing Magnussen with Massa’s help on the fifth lap then overtook Massa around the outside through the first chicane on lap 10 and began to reduce Rosberg’s lead lap after lap.

Meanwhile, Rosberg lost time when he drove straight through the first chicane on lap nine — a harbinger of things to come.

The layout of the Monza track — long, high-speed straights followed by slow corners — requires heavy braking.

“It’s one of the most difficult tracks for braking because of low downforce and the highest speed of the year,” Rosberg said. “But that isn’t any excuse or anything, that’s just the way it is. ...

Unfortunately I got it wrong two times in the race.”

Hamilton also had a problem 15 minutes before the race started, when a team mechanic dropped a portable brake cooler on his front wing, breaking it slightly and forcing a change.

“I came here with a positive attitude and hoping just for no issues,” Hamilton said.

“I had another serious one but I managed to pull through it. I’m still looking for one of those weekends where we don’t have any of those troubles.”

BRIDGE In “The Importance of Being Earnest,” Oscar Wilde wrote, “Thirtyfive is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained 35 for years.”

In bridge, you have a free choice of which card to play, with the restriction that you must follow suit. In this deal, declarer has two choices for trying to collect nine tricks. West leads the heart queen against three notrump and East signals encouragingly

with his seven. What should declarer do?

North’s two-diamond rebid was a reverse, which promised a maximum opening bid: a good 17 to 20 high-card points. His three-heart continuation, a variation of fourth-suit forcing, asked South to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper.

South has seven top tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and three clubs. There are two chances for the extra winners: The clubs might break 3-2 or the diamond finesse could work. Ideally, declarer would cash dummy’s top clubs. Then, if they do not split favorably, he would take the diamond finesse. However, with the heart ace dislodged, South has no hand entry left.

What are the probabilities? A finesse is 50-50 and a 3-2 division is 67.8 percent, the much better choice.

However, before broaching the clubs, South, after winning the first or second trick with his heart ace, should lead the diamond queen. Maybe West will cover when he has the king — or take a long time ducking. Always give the opponents a chance to help you.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 Trust in yourself and your abilities. Don’t put too much value on what others do or say.

Improvisation and the ability to predict trends will lead you to success. Let go of past difficulties and disappointments, and head into the future with optimism.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Taking on too much could damage your health. A relationship or situation will cause you grief and lead to change. A decision to move forward must benefit you, not someone else.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Group encounters will allow you the perfect opportunity to share your ideas. A change is as good as a rest. Don’t be afraid to try something new.

Make the most of any chance to promote your talent and ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keep your own needs and wants in perspective. You risk being taken advantage of if you decide to address others’ problems ahead of your own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Friends and relatives can be a source of inspiration. If you’re open-minded, your options will multiply. Willingness to compromise will help dissipate any prob-

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s fine to be laid-back, but love and friendship aren’t likely to find you if you are hiding in a corner.

Take up a new pastime, and relationship opportunities will improve.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Waffling will work against you.

Size up what’s going on and, without making a commitment, mention what you might contribute.

That way, you gain the upper hand and buy time to make a decision.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Once you know what you want, be up-front and open. Secret deals and hidden agendas will lead to trouble. Don’t let anyone talk you into a questionable venture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A new partnership will offer greater opportunities. Consider your options while highlighting your talents. You can make an important first impression if you volunteer your services.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Put an emphasis on getting ahead.

Prove how valuable you are in the workplace by sharing your vision and plans. You will attract the attention of a future mentor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t get drawn back into a disappointing relationship. Making travel plans or researching something you’d like to pursue will spur you to let go of the past and embrace the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You should exercise caution when forced to deal with other people’s money or property. You could be blamed for a situation that you had no hand in. A financial change is on the horizon.
