SHANGHAI (AP) —Signs that the powerhouseChinese economy is slowinghave spooked global mar-kets and sharpened fearsthat the world economy willnot escape another reces-sion, so much so that asmall, preliminary survey ofChinese manufacturers con-tributed to a global stockmarket plunge this week.However, analysts said

Friday that the dramaticfallout from a preliminaryreading of HSBC’s index of

manufacturing for Sept-ember far exceeded thedata’s importance. Andwhile the world’s No. 2 econ-omy is slowing as expected,they said, growth willremain relatively strong.If nothing else, the mar-

ket rout that beganThursday and continuedFriday reflects how muchthe rest of the world is rely-ing on China, one of the fewbig economies that is

UNITED NATIONS(AP) — The Palestinianleader took his people’squest for independence tothe heart of world diplo-macy on Friday, hoping togalvanize their flaggingstatehood campaign byseeking U.N. recognitionof Palestine and sidestep-ping negotiations thathave foundered for nearlytwo decades under theweight of inflexibility, vio-

lence and failure of will.The bid to recognize a

state in the West Bank,Gaza Strip and eastJerusalem submittedagainst the will of a U.S.administration that hadpressured PresidentMahmoud Abbas to drop itlaid bare the deep sense ofexasperation thePalestinians feel after 44

expanding at a rapid clip,to stave off recession.

HSBC’s preliminarysurvey, released about aweek before the final sur-vey is due, showed a two-month low of 49.4. Thatfollowed an August read-ing of 49.9, and anythingunder 50 indicates thatactivity is contracting.

Coming alongside weakindicators from othermajor economies, the dataprompted panicked sellingby global investors afraidthat governments ham-strung by debt crises,inflation and unemploy-ment may be unable toavert a recession.

But the HSBC surveyis only a monthly snap-shot, ill-suited to indicatelong-term trends, saidXianfang Ren, chief Chinaeconomist for IHS GlobalInsight.

It also is heavilyweighted towardexporters, which arebound to be feeling cau-tious given the currentglobal outlook, and is not areliable measure of thebroader economy, saidCLSA analyst Andy

Rothman. An official man-ufacturing index that sur-veys a bigger number ofcompanies is due aroundthe end of September.

“If you look at othermeasures of what’s hap-pening in China … every-thing is cooling down, butnot dramatically, andthere’s still stronggrowth,” Rothman said.Most forecasters expecteconomic growth of above9 percent this year andbetween 8.5 percent and 9percent next year.

Still, what’s clear isthat China’s role in power-ing world growth is signif-icant.

That’s especially so fornations such as Australiathat are heavily depend-ent on China’s voraciousdemand for the mineralsthey export, and forexport-reliant countries inAsia including Singapore,Taiwan and Japan. TheConference Board fore-casts China will accountfor about a third of theincrease in global GDPthis year.

Yet despite China’s ris-ing power, experts say itseconomy is still not big orstrong enough to fully

compensate for meltdownselsewhere, since its owninvestment and spendingis only one-sixth that ofthe European Union andUnited States.

“From a global perspec-tive, China’s domesticdemand is still way toosmall to offset the impactof a recession” in Europeand the U.S., DeutscheBank (NYSE:DB) econo-mist Ma Jun said in areport.

To make up for a 3 per-centage point drop ingrowth in thoseeconomies, China wouldhave to grow by 18 percentthis year, he says.

“This is mission impos-sible.”

Some worry thatChina’s economic plannersin their zeal to reduceinflation from near three-year highs could overshootby cooling the economy toomuch. August’s inflationfigure of 6.2 percent, downfrom 6.5 percent in July,suggests that Beijing’sinflation battle may beyielding results thatwould allow it greater lee-way for policies aimed atkeeping growth on track.

A drop in globaldemand for China’sexports could also wallopits economy, as it did in2008, though domestic fac-tors such as consumerspending and investmentin infrastructure areincreasingly drivinggrowth.

Most economists stilldownplay any risk of a so-called “hard landing” inChina that would darkenthe global outlook.

the country that received an ini-tial default notice — the first stepin the foreclosure process —jumped 33 percent in Augustfrom July, the foreclosure listingfirm RealtyTrac reported lastweek.

pledged the 104-year-oldtemple building, locateddowntown at 107 W. MainSt., as collateral.

A city staff report saidthe four-story Templebuilding — home to thethe Franklin Lodge No. 14— has an assessed marketvalue of $394,300 and ispaid off in full.

The Temple currently isrepairing 32 smaller win-dows on the building, withthe $27,500 project fundedby private donations and a$20,500 CommunityDevelopment Block Grantgrant.

Temple membersArthur Haddad and DickKlockner, who attended

the meeting with boardpresident Fred Francis,said they intended to pro-ceed with repairing thestained glass windowsuntil bidding revealed amuch higher cost thanexpected.

The Temple came to thecity because the Temple isusing its availableresources for the otherwindows and for renova-tions to the second andfourth floors, Haddad said.

Two of the stained glasswindows currently areboarded up. Haddad saidwhile the windows arebeing repaired, the templewill install storm windowsin the spaces. The stormwindows will remain afterthe stained glass windows

are reinstalled, “to helpprotect the stained glass,”Haddad said.

Francis said theTemple is in the processof raising money forrepairs to the building’sheating and air condition-ing systems, and repair-ing the windows is “key”to the success of that proj-ect. He estimated theTemple’s monthly incomeat about $4,000, withabout half of that fromrent from a retail furni-ture store on the build-ing’s first floor.

The Temple recentlyopened up its second floorto the Miami ValleyVeterans Museum, whichhas pledged to renovatetheir portion of the floor

in exchange for free rent.Francis said tentativeplans discussed have themuseum trading its reno-vations efforts for the freerent for the first twoyears, which is why thecommittee granted inter-est-only loan paymentsfor the first two years.

Haddad said theFranklin Lodge No. 14was founded in Troy in1812. The stained glasswindows are dedicated tofounding member AsaColeman, the firstWorshipful Master ofLodge No. 14.

• The motion to recom-mend approval of theMasonic loan included arecommendation to shift$400,000 from the city’s

Economic DevelopmentRevolving Loan Fund tothe DBR fund. The shiftwill even out the balancesof both funds, according toTroy Development Dir-ector Jim Dando, whoadministrates the loanfunds.

The shift will accom-modate the two DBR loansrecommended forapproval Thursday — the$45,000 Masonic loan anda $151,700 loan to P&CVentures LLC for the for-mer Knapke building pur-chase.

Both loan recommen-dations made Thursdaywill be referred to a coun-cil committee for reviewand recommendation tothe full council.

“United Technologiesexpects to finance thetransaction through a com-bination of debt and equityissuance.

Following completion ofthe sale, United Tech-nologies is expected to haveworldwide sales of approxi-mately $66 billion based onprojected 2011 results.

years of Israeli occupa-tion. International reser-vations about the movehas had the perhapsunintended effect of reen-ergizing internationalefforts to seek a negotiat-ed settlement.

After Abbas submittedhis formal application,international mediatorscalled on Israelis andPalestinians to return tolong-stalled negotiationsand reach an agreementno later than next year.The “Quartet” the U.S.,European Union, U.N.and Russia urged bothparties to draw up anagenda for peace talkswithin a month and pro-duce comprehensive pro-posals on territory andsecurity within threemonths.

U.S. Secretary of StateHillary Rodham Clintonsaid the proposal “repre-sents the firm convictionof the international com-munity that a just andlasting peace can onlycome through negotia-tions between the par-ties.” But similar planshave failed to produce apeace agreement in thepast, and it was how thetwo sides could bridgetheir huge differencesand resume talks.

And the Quartet state-ment was radically differ-ent from what diplomatshad been hoping to draftsince it became clear thatAbbas would not backdown. U.S. and Europeanofficials had been tryingto craft a statement that

would itself outlineparameters of the negoti-ations, including a refer-ence to borders beingbased on the 1967 linesand affirm Israel’s identi-ty as a Jewish state.

Instead, the Quartetfocused on proposingdeadlines for steps thetwo sides should take.

World sympathy forthe Palestinian cause wasevident from the thunder-ous applause that greetedAbbas as he mounted thedais in the GeneralAssembly hall to deliver aspeech that laid out hisgrievances against theIsraeli occupation andwhy he felt compelled totake his appeal directly tothe United Nations.

In a scathing denunci-ation of Israel’s settle-ment policy, Abbasdeclared that negotia-tions with Israel “will bemeaningless” as long as itcontinues building onlands the Palestiniansclaim for that state.Invoking what would be anightmare for Israel, hewent so far as to warnthat his governmentcould collapse if the con-struction persists.

“This policy is respon-sible for the continuedfailure of the successiveinternational attempts tosalvage the peaceprocess,” said Abbas, whohas refused to negotiateuntil the constructionstops. “This settlementpolicy threatens to alsoundermine the structureof the PalestinianNational Authority andeven end its existence.”.

Hobart put ona great concert

To the Editor:I recently read a letter to the

editor in the Troy Daily Newsfrom someone who was upsetwith the security at the KelliePickler concert at Hobart Arena.Let me share my personal

experience with the security atHobart Arena ...I found the security, staff and

everyone involved with the con-cert to be extremely accommo-dating.My family and I had a won-

derful experience. While I amsorry one person had a bad expe-rience, I know everyone I talkedto really enjoyed both the con-

cert and the time they had inTroy that evening.Personally, I can’t wait to get

back for another concert atTroy’s Hobart Arena.Thank you to all involved for

making it an excellent experi-ence.

DOONESBURY

Battle Creek (Mich.) Enquireron confidence in government:

There’s a lot more to this country than politics, and Americans’ beliefin themselves and their government is not on the wane.That conclusion might be drawn from the results of a recently

released Associated Press-National Constitution Center poll.The poll of 1,000 adults conducted Aug. 18-22 found that 63 percent

believe the U.S. government is doing a good job of making sure we feel“safe, secure and free.” That is up 9 percentage points from a year ago.Even more — 72 percent — approve of the government’s performance inaddressing both foreign and domestic threats. Only 53 percent believedso in 2010.That statement of confidence in the nation’s capacity to protect us is

in sharp contrast to the majority of poll respondents who expressed littleor no confidence in the ability of politicians to effectively address seriousissues such as health care and government spending.In other words, we still have a lot of faith in the military and other

government workers to look after the country’s best interests despitecynicism toward our elected leaders and their motives.And we still believe in our own ability to help, with 70 percent of

those polled saying they volunteer in order to try and make things betterfor their fellow Americans.Americans’ can-do spirit is far from defeated.

Herald Dispatch, Huntington, W.Va.,on uninsured motorists:

Most of us can rattle off a long list of negative effects from the eco-nomic downturn — from devalued real estate to diminished 401Ks.But these days there is always room for one more.The Insurance Research Council reports that with the recession, the

number of uninsured drivers has been on the rise, and that increases thecost of auto accidents for everyone who pays for insurance.After declining for four straight years, the percentage of motorists

with no insurance rose to 14.3 percent in 2008 and dropped slightly to13.8 percent in 2009.Because of the range of laws governing auto insurance, some states

feel the impact more than others.For example, the rate in West Virginia is lower than the national

average at 11 percent. But Tri-State drivers can’t take much comfort inthat because the rates in Kentucky and Ohio are 18 percent and 16 per-cent, respectively.States in our region would do well to go to school on the tougher

requirements in Massachusetts, Maine and New York, where the per-centage of uninsured drivers is around 5 percent, even during hardtimes.

The Advocate, Baton Rouge, La., on Medicare:The other night, the leader of one of America’s great political parties

came forth with a big “but” that ought to be noticed.“But,” the president said in his speech to Congress, “here’s the truth.”

And he then talked about Medicare.It’s been little-noticed that Barack Obama was saying some things

that many in his own party don’t want to hear about Medicare.“Millions of Americans rely on Medicare in their retirement. And mil-

lions more will do so in the future,” Obama said. “They pay for this bene-fit during their working years. They earn it. But with an aging popula-tion and rising health care costs, we are spending too fast to sustain theprogram.”That kind of statement ought to be welcomed by Republicans, some of

whom have been pilloried for saying similar things and backing a tough-on-Medicare budget resolution.Of course, some of the same GOP members had dubiously trashed

Obama’s health care bill last year as anti-Medicare, too.The “but” was important, a political path to changes in Medicare to

make it more sustainable before the financial tidal wave of baby boomerretirements breaks the health care system for everyone.We would like to see more times when national leaders call for practi-

cal solutions that avoid the name-calling that brings politics down to thelevel of the elementary schoolyard.

I’ve technically been an adultfor a good eight years now.Since April 14, 2003, I’ve

legally been eligible to vote, Icould get a license without tak-ing those pesky driver’s educa-tion classes, I could enlist in thearmy and buy a pack of ciga-rettes while purchasing scratch-off lottery tickets if I wanted.I conquered a lot of firsts at

the ripe old age of 18. I travelledout of the continental UnitedStates for the first time, movedinto my first dorm room, had myfirst college boyfriend, skippedmy first college class and for thevery first time in my life, I didn’thave anyone to answer to (well,except for my softball coaches,my professors, a handful of nunsand the incredibly strict catcheron my softball team).I was free.When you first head off to col-

lege, move out of home, get yourfirst apartment — you feel likeyou’re on top of the world.It’s easy to feel like you don’t

need anyone anymore, becauseyou’re legally an adult in everysense of the word.But in reality, you’re not real-

ly.

At 26 years old, I’ve con-quered even more firsts sincecrossing several off my list at18. I’ve graduated from college,gotten my first “big girl” job, leftmy first “big girl job,” relocated,got married, had a baby, lost mygrandparents, bought two cars,got my first place, legally drankalcohol, went to Canada,watched my best friends getmarried (held one’s hand as shegot divorced), watched mybrother become a dad, watchedas one of my cousins became amother and another deployed toAfghanistan.Things are different now —

now that I’m really an adult.In college my worries were

simple; would I be able to force

myself to roll out of bed for an8:30 a.m. class? Would I get tobe the starting pitcher for mysoftball team? What did I wantto drink on Friday night?Now I face bigger issues:

when is the right time to laydown the money and purchase ahome? When is the right time tohave a second child? Should Ieven be having one? What willPearyn be when she grows up?What do I want to be when Igrow up?I’m a different person and

adult than I was in my youngage.Nothing is as black and white

as it used to be.Ask a college student their

opinion on abortion, the deathpenalty, religion, getting mar-ried or having babies. Chancesare they’ll have an answer foryou, regardless if it’s one youwant to hear, one you disagreewith completely or one thatdoesn’t make any sense to you— it does to them.I feel like we’re these radical

versions of ourselves at 18. Weget a small glimpse of what wehave to look forward to, butwe’re still too young and dumb

to really know what’s in storefor us.I used to be completely for

the death penalty and as pro-choice as they came. And then Igrew up and I became a mom. Ihave a new appreciation for thefrailty of life; I have a newrespect for bringing one into theworld.I’m a wife.I realize marriage is filled

with only grey territory. It’s notall sunshine and rainbows;sometimes it’s not even forever.It’s two people pledging to try tolove each other forever, butthere’s no guarantee that you’llmake it, no guarantee thatthey’ll be holding your hand atthe end of the day, there’s just alot of faith.They say as we grow up we

lose our ability to hope, believeand just have faith in things.But with a world of only grey

and no black and white, I don’treally see how we can make itthrough the day without a littleof all three.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Inthe wee hours of Dec. 16,1811, an earthquake joltedmany of Cincinnati’s 2,500residents from their slum-ber.In the words of a

Cincinnati newspapercalled Liberty Hall: “Itshook the houses, rockedthe furniture, opened sev-eral partition doors thatwere fastened with fallinglatches and threw downbricks from the tops ofsome chimneys.”This was the first in the

greatest series of earth-quakes in United Stateshistory. The other twolargest earthquakesoccurred on Jan. 23 andFeb. 7 of 1812. Many after-shocks also caused dam-age.Cincinnati was fortu-

nate to be far enough fromthe earthquake’s epicenterin New Madrid, Mo., thatthe newly established fron-tier town suffered no casu-alties or major damage.But within the New

Madrid seismic zone ofsoutheastern Missouri,northeastern Arkansas andparts of Tennessee andKentucky, the earthquakescaused an undeterminednumber of deaths and enor-mous damage. Theyuprooted trees, causedlandslides and floods andsank boats on theMississippi River.To commemorate the

200th anniversary of theseearthquakes, the BettsHouse in Cincinnati’s westend one of the few build-ings in the region thatexisted when those earth-quakes struck will host anexhibit called “The BigShake How the 1811-1812New Madrid EarthquakesRocked the Ohio RiverValley.”The exhibit opens to the

public today.It will display newspa-

per articles and lettersfrom that period to tell thestory of these earthquakesin the words of people who

witnessed them.There will be plenty of

material on hand toexplain the nature andimpact of earthquakes andoffer a history of earth-quakes in the Ohio. Amodel seismograph, shake-table demonstrations and atopographical map ofCincinnati will be used toillustrate the science ideasbehind earthquakes.Greater Cincinnati and

northern Kentuckyreceived a real-life demon-stration on Aug 23 whenan earthquake centered inVirginia sent tremorsthrough this region thatshook buildings and creat-ed a scare. The Virginiaquake had a magnitude of5.8, much smaller thanthe three major ones inthe New Madrid zone in1811 and 1812. All threehad magnitudes of at least7.0.The Betts House, the

oldest brick house in Ohiostill on its original site, sur-vived the 1811 earthquakewithout any noticeabledamage. But the bricksummer kitchen buildingin back of it had extensivedamage.“We don’t know exactly

what happened, but wethink the chimney proba-bly collapsed into the struc-ture,” Julie Carpenter,Betts House executivedirector, said.A new summer kitchen

was built the next year andwas attached to the house.“People who lived on

hilltops in Cincinnati sleptthrough the earthquakesbecause their houses wereon bedrock,” Carpentersaid.Amateur scientists of

the day advanced all kindsof theories about the causeof the earthquakes. Oneeven attributed them to theeruption of a volcano inNorth Carolina. Some reli-gious people viewed theearthquakes as ominoussigns of the Apocalypse.George Heinrich Crist,

who lived near the presentlocation of Louisville, Ky.,wrote in a Jan. 23, 1812,letter about the death ofhis daughter in one of theearthquakes.“We lost our Amandy

Jane in this one a log fellon her,” he wrote. “A lot ofpeople thinks the devil hascome here. Some thinksthat this is the beginning ofthe world coming to a end.”Cincinnati’s two news-

papers, Liberty Hall andthe Western Spy, accusedeach other of publishinginaccurate news accountsof the earthquakes.No one knows how

many people were killed inthe 1811-1812 New Madridearthquakes. Because theNew Madrid zone wassparsely populated frontierterritory with few newspa-pers, some deaths werenever reported, Carpentersaid.If the same series of

earthquakes occurredtoday in the New Madridzone, they would kill 3,500people, injure 86,000 anddamage more than 700,000buildings, according to theU.S. Geological Society.About 2 million peoplewould require temporaryshelter and 2.6 millionhouseholds would be with-out electrical power.Economic losses wouldtotal $200 billion to $300billion.Cincinnati, being just

outside the New Madridseismic zone, would suffersome building damage in arecurrence of the 1811-1812 quakes, said J. BarryMaynard, a University ofCincinnati geology profes-sor who is helping theBetts House with its earth-quake exhibit.“We would see a fair

amount of damage to hous-es and other buildings thataren’t built very well,” hesaid. “A lot of chimneyswould fall.”The greatest potential

for injuries would comefrom falling bricks andstone cornices and trimand other unreinforcedmasonry, Maynard said.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.(AP) — Big-voiced R&Bdiva Vesta Williams, per-haps best-known for her1980s hits “Don’t Blow AGood Thing” and “Con-gratulations,” has beenfound dead of a possibledrug overdose in aSouthern California hotelroom, coroner’s investiga-tors said Friday. She was53.Williams was found

dead at 6:15 p.m.Thursday in an ElSegundo hotel room, LosAngeles County coroner’sCapt. John Kades said.An autopsy will deter-

mine the cause of death. Atoxicology examinationwill take six weeks to becompleted, Kades said.Born Mary Vesta

Williams on Dec. 1, 1957,

to a disc jockey inCoshocton, Ohio, she hadhits with “Once BittenTwice Shy,” ”Sweet, SweetLove” and the torch song“Congratulations,” whereshe emotionally bids good-bye to her ex, about tomarry someone else, onhis wedding day.Williams also appeared

in movies and on televi-sion.She was a saloon singer

in the Mario Van Peeblesmovie “Posse” and she hada recurring role on the tel-evision situation comedy“Sister, Sister,” playingactress Jackee Harry’sbest friend Monica.Harry tweeted her con-

dolences: “…just receivedtruly devastating news:R&B great, and my friendof many yrs, Vesta

Williams ((at)vesta4u),has passed away.(hash)RIPVesta”Williams diminutive

hits including “OnceBitten Twice Shy,” ”Sweet,Sweet Love” and her sig-nature torch song“Congratulations.”Williams continued to

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)— When Turfway Parkscratched its premier fallracing event last year, it wasanother sign of the toughtimes that had befallen thenorthern Kentucky racetrack, where the amount ofprize money has tumbled inrecent years.Now the Kentucky Cup

Day of Champions is back,and the five-race series setfor Saturday has picked up asponsor for the first timeWinStar Farm, a prominenthorse farm in Kentucky’sbluegrass region. The fiveraces carry total purses of$600,000.“To have it come back …

is just a real shot in the armfor all of us here at Turfwayin terms of getting back onthat national stage in thefall,” Turfway ParkPresident Robert N. Elliston

said in an interview thisweek.The Florence track nes-

tled in the Cincinnati sub-urbs hopes to re-establishthe Kentucky Cup series asa popular destination fortrainers preparing theirhorses for the Breeders’Cup.The Kentucky Cup, run

since 1994 except for a briefhiatus, has compiled a longhonor roll of thoroughbredsthat competed, including thewinners of seven Breeders’Cup races a list topped byCat Thief, winner of the1999 Breeders’ Cup Classic.The feature race in the

series the $200,000Kentucky Cup Classic waslast run in 2009, as were theKentucky Cup Distaff andKentucky Cup Sprint. Theyare back in the fold onSaturday’s card at Turfway,

as are the Kentucky CupJuvenile and JuvenileFillies races, last run in2008.Despite the event’s come-

back, the track’s problemshaven’t disappeared.“It’s a bit of a positive

sign,” said Kentucky-basedtrainer William “Buff”Bradley, who has a horseentered in the JuvenileFillies race. “Still, there’s alot of things that need to bedone in Kentucky racing toget it going again.”Turfway’s biggest hurdle

is its purse sizes, whichhave fallen behind those attracks in states that supple-ment prize money with pro-ceeds from casino-stylegambling. It’s a basic eco-nomic principle — largerpurses attract more andbetter horses, which luremore bettors.

ERFURT, Germany (AP) — PopeBenedict XVI made a landmark visitFriday to the monastery where MartinLuther studied before splitting from theCatholic Church centuries ago and launch-ing the Protestant Reformation.In a sign of how far relations have

improved between the two churches inrecent decades, the pope praised Luther forhis “deep passion and driving force” in hisbeliefs. He didn’t announce any concretesteps to achieve greater unity amongChristians, as some had hoped.During an ecumenical service held in

the monastery’s stone chapel, with soaringstained glass windows that date from evenbefore Luther prayed here in the early1500s, Benedict acknowledged there wastalk ahead of the visit that he would comebearing an “ecumenical gift.”But the pontiff told an audience includ-

ing representatives of Germany’s LutheranChurch that such a belief was “a politicalmisreading of faith and of ecumenism.”Leaders from both sides of the church

were quick to underline that the pontiff ’smere presence in the heartland of the

Reformation was a key signal to how vast-ly relations have improved.“It must be recalled that the pope has

come to this monastery in Erfurt as a ges-ture that is an indication that he is fullyaware of its meaning,” said ThiesGundlach, a deputy in the GermanLutheran Church.Nevertheless, expectations from the

Lutherans remain high, as the communitylooks ahead to celebrations marking the500th anniversary of Luther’s nailing his95 theses to the door of the Castle church innearby Wittenberg demanding change inthe Catholic church that ultimately led to asplit. German Lutheran leader NikolausSchneider told the pope “it is time to takereal steps for reconciliation” and suggestedCatholics join Protestants in marking theanniversary of the Reformation in 2017.The pontiff started the day in Berlin

with a private Mass and meetings withleaders from Germany’s Muslim communi-ty. He met with Jewish leaders onThursday, before celebrating a Mass inBerlin that attracted some 70,000 faithfulfrom across the nation and beyond.

Dear Readers: Fifty years ofHints From Heloise in newspa-pers around the world! This weekmarks the anniversary of this col-umn’s very first week of newspa-per syndication by King FeaturesSyndicate. My mother, the origi-nal Heloise (1919-1977), startedwriting her column in Hawaiiwhen my father (and our family)was stationed there (1958-1962)with the Air Force. I thought itwould be fun to revisit some hintsprinted in that first year to seehow they hold up today. The fol-lowing hint is one that I just love!Keep an eye out in the comingweeks for more!— Heloise (thedaughter, 2011)TWO IDEAS

Dear Heloise: One of myfavorite ideas: If two people eachhad a dollar and exchanged them... they would still have only a dol-lar each. On the other hand, ifthey exchanged ideas, they wouldhave two ideas!— Doris Bond(1961)PET PALDear Readers: Joleen V. of

Keizer, Ore., sent a picture of heradorable Shih Tzu, Cuddles, whois 5 years old and a bit tired afterplaying with her new birthdaytoy, a stuffed cupcake. To seeCuddles and our other Pet Pals,go to www.Heloise.com and clickon “Pets.”— HeloiseDRY TOWELSDear Heloise: I use a stand-

ing tree-style coat rack in myguest bathroom for overnightguests and their towels. Long ago,I sewed loops on my towels at themiddle, along their lengths, forwhen I use them at the gym.These loops will ensure that thetowels don’t hit the floor, and theywill air out more quickly.—Laura G., Springfield, Mo.

HELP!Dear Heloise: Almost all men

think your column is only forwomen.Wake up, guys! I’ve beenreading the paper for many years.I am 57 years old and married. Ido the shopping, cleaning, cook-ing, etc. I’ve learned so much fromyour columns! Just a sample:Years ago, I had trouble openingthe plastic bags in the producesection. Your column said, “Lickyour fingers.” Same can be donewith trash bags. Start reading thecolumn, guys. You know, if youhelp your wives in the house, thenHeloise Hints will make it a loteasier on you. Your wife will besurprised at your knowledge!—John S. from Florida

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I discovered thatmy 55-year-old husband of 35years was texting, calling andreceiving calls from a 27-year-oldwoman for a period of nine weeks.Sometimes there were 200 texts ina day. I'm pretty sure she was sex-ting him, but I can't prove it.When I confronted him, I dis-

covered he was also having break-fast, lunch and dinner with herand sometimes going to her apart-ment for coffee. Even if there wasno sex involved, it was wrong. Iwas sad, angry and devastated.We talked about it, and he men-tioned some things he needed meto change, and I agreed. He sayshe never touched her and prom-ised to stop contacting her alto-gether.Six months later, I found out

she was still calling him. Theyalso went shopping together, andshe was seen in his car. He stillsays he didn't do anything wrongbecause there was no sex. I ambeside myself. I am living with aliar.I love my husband and want to

stay married. He says the same,but how can we stay togetherwhen he won't take responsibilityfor what he has done? My hus-band has always been the mosthonest person I know, so this iscompletely out of character forhim. He's also grossly overweightand bald. But he's financially suc-cessful, and this woman hasmoney problems.Please tell me how to get

through to him.— Want Her Outof Our LivesDear Want: You assume that

this woman is only interested inyour bald, overweight husbandbecause of his money. You could beright. But he is interested in herfor other reasons, and that is whatyou need to address. He is besot-ted and has no intention of leavingher alone. Even a temporarymidlife crisis can damage yourmarriage permanently. Get somecounseling — with or without him— and figure out your next step.Dear Annie: My friends and

family believe I am wealthy andat times have asked for loans thatare never repaid. I am generouswith people and have given moneywhen it matters — once to get afamily member into a treatmentfacility and another time to helpsomeone who needed to sell theirhome.My husband and I have saved

and invested during our entiremarriage, and I am continuing todo so in retirement. Now I havemoney challenges myself and real-ly don't want to loan money, nordo I enjoy talking about someoneelse's financial problems. How canI tell people I don't want to dis-cuss their bills and would ratherhave a different conversation? —Not Mrs. GotrocksDear Mrs.: By saying so and

then changing the subject. It's OKto tell them, "I wish I could helpyou, but I am no longer in a posi-tion to do so. How are the kids?"Dear Annie: Like "No

Signature, Please," I also grew upwith an abusive father and amother who allowed it to happen.I was in counseling for many

years, and one counselor putthings into perspective for me. Hesaid I should think of my father asmentally ill.This attitude allowed us to

remain in touch for the remainderof his life and permitted my chil-dren to have a great relationshipwith him — one of the best gifts Icould have given them.Dad passed away 20 years ago. I

can now look back and say that Iam glad I was able to forgive him.Now I am responsible for my eld-erly mother's care.I sometimes have to remind

myself that I am a better personbecause I am doing my best toprotect her, although she neverprotected me.— Another NoSignature, PleaseDear Another: Bless you for

choosing to take the high road.You have obviously become astronger person because of it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tissues were on hand butthere were few tears among two dozen soap opera fansgathered to watch “All My Children” sign off fromABCon Friday after more than 40 years.That’s because the screen faded to black with a

gunshot and a cliffhanger — an indication that thestory may not be dead, even if the television series is.ABC has licensed the story to a production companythat is hoping to keep the “All My Children” goingonline after the first of next year.Carolyn Hinsey, author of “Afternoon Delight: Why

Soaps Still Matter,” organized a watching party at aManhattan sports bar as a message to television exec-utives who apparently think soap operas don’t matteranymore.Two of ABC’s three daytime dramas, “All My

Children” and “One Life to Live,” were canceled thisyear. That leaves only four soaps on network televi-sion, with “General Hospital” the only one on ABCwhen “One Life to Live” formally leaves in a fewmonths.TV executives consider soaps a losing cause, more

expensive to produce than talk or reality shows andwith a dwindling audience as more women work andtheir tastes change, even though the ratings for ABC’stwo canceled programs have jumped in recent months.“The soap fans are still there,” said Marie White,

who drove in from Baltimore for the party.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Nearly everyone agrees thefix needs fixing. The NoChild Left Behind law thatwas supposed to improveAmerican education has leftschools grumbling at beinglabeled “failures,” state offi-cials fuming and complaintseverywhere about requiredtesting.But President Barack

Obama’s response on Friday— he’s allowing states to optout — is starting a newround of heated arguments.There are questions

about whether letting statesbypass unpopular proficien-cy standards will help thenation’s schoolchildren.And, even as states clamorto use the new waiveroption, some lawmakers sayObama is inserting politicsin what had been a biparti-san approach to education.At the White House, the

president said he was actingonly because Congresswouldn’t. He decried thestate of U.S. education andcalled the “No Child” law asignature legacy ofPresident George W. Bush’spresidency an admirablebut flawed effort that endedup hurting students insteadof helping them.Obama’s announcement

could fundamentally affectthe education of tens of mil-lions of children. It willallow states to scrap a keyrequirement that all chil-dren show they are profi-cient in reading and mathby 2014 if those states meetconditions such as imposingtheir own standards to pre-pare students for collegeand careers and settingevaluation standards forteachers and principals.Kids will still have to

take yearly tests in mathand reading, although theadministration says theemphasis will be more onmeasuring growth overtime.

The impact on schoolkids could vary greatlydepending on how stateschoose to reward or punishindividual schools. UnderNo Child Left Behind, chil-dren who attend schoolsdeemed failures after a setperiod of time are eligiblefor extra tutoring and schoolchoice. Under the presi-dent’s plan, it’s up to statesgranted waivers to decide ifthey will use those sameremedies.A majority of states are

expected to apply forwaivers, which would begiven to those that qualifyearly next year.State officials have long

complained that if they hadmore flexibility, they couldimplement positive changes.Now, they will have to stepup and prove it.“This is really going to

change things because itreally does put responsibili-ty squarely on the states,”said Amy Wilkins, a vicepresident at EducationTrust, a nonprofit thatseeks to raise achievementstandards in schools.Officials from Kentucky,

Idaho, Wisconsin andColorado were among thoseexpressing support for thepresident’s plan on Friday.“I look forward to the fed-

eral government narrowingits role in education andallowing Tennessee the flex-ibility to abide by its ownrigorous standards,” Tenn-essee Gov. Bill Haslam, aRepublican, said at theWhite House event.But Rep. John Kline, R-

Minn., who chairs theHouse Education Com-mittee, wrote in an editorialFriday published in TheWashington Examiner thatthe plan “could mean lesstransparency, new federalregulations and greateruncertainty for students,teachers, and state and localofficials.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justa week away from a possiblegovernment shutdown, lawmak-ers boxed themselves into a newbudget impasse Friday.With Congress’ approval rat-

ings already at an all-time low, atit-for-tat over disaster aid leftRepublicans and Democrats andthe House and Senate in a face-off that’s all too familiar to mil-lions of Americans. Deep parti-san disputes pushed the govern-ment to the edge of a partialshutdown in April, and to thebrink of a debt ceiling crisis inlate July.On Friday, the Democratic-

controlled Senate blocked aRepublican House bill thatwould provide stopgap federalspending, plus aid for peoplebattered by hurricanes, torna-does and other natural disas-ters. The legislation also callsfor $1.6 billion in spending cutsto help defray the disaster costs.Democrats say it’s unprece-

dented and unfair to require

spending cuts to accompanybadly needed emergency aid.They are especially unhappythat the GOP measure wouldtap clean-energy programs cred-ited with creating jobs.Republicans say that with a

$14 trillion-plus national debt,business-as-usual spending isno longer acceptable.With elections coming, con-

gressional Republicans suggestvoters will find it outrageousthat Democrats wouldn’t accepta mere $1.6 billion in spendingcuts. Democrats are betting vot-ers will find it petty and manip-ulative to let tornado and hurri-cane victims wonder if federalaid will be denied because law-makers want to cut aid toautomakers.The parties’ feuding earlier

this year prompted a ratingagency to downgrade the gov-ernment’s credit-worthiness,which sent shock waves throughfinancial markets. Legislationfinally did make it to passage to

raise the debt limit and stave offpotential default.This time, it’s possible that

Congress will find a last-minuteway to avoid a shutdown ofmany federal agencies when thefiscal year ends next Friday. TheSenate plans to vote Monday ona Democratic bill that would notrequire spending offsets torelease new money for theFederal EmergencyManagement Agency. FEMA,drained by several severestorms, could run by next week,officials said.In the Senate, however, GOP

leader Mitch McConnell ofKentucky is confidentRepublicans will block theDemocrats’ counter-move with afilibuster. It takes 41 votes tosustain a filibuster in the 100-member Senate, and theRepublicans hold 47 seats.If the GOP succeeds, the

Senate could accept the HouseRepublican bill it rejected onFriday. Or legislative leaders

could try to negotiate their waypast the logjam. Congress wasnot scheduled to be in sessionnext week, and House leaderssaid they don’t plan to call theirmembers back to Washington.The governors of four hurri-

cane-damaged East Coast statesincluding the Republican gover-nors of New Jersey andPennsylvania said in a state-ment that “federal assistancefor the victims of storms andfloods should be beyond poli-tics.”If the disaster relief agency

runs out of money, the mostimmediate hardships could befelt by storm victims who needassistance checks to continuestays in motels and other tem-porary housing. Disaster vic-tims could also face delayed aidfor crucial repairs of house andstructural damage, said FEMAspokeswoman Rachel Racusen.She said the disaster relief

fund contained no more than$175 million, which is already

committed to aiding victims ofHurricanes Irene and Lee andthe heavy flooding across theEastern seaboard.Lawmakers are quarreling

over deeply held principles but aminuscule amount of money inan annual discretionary budgetof more than $1.3 trillion.Early Friday, the House

voted mostly along party linesfor a spending bill to keep thegovernment operating throughNov. 18. It provided $3.7 billionin new disaster assistance, part-ly offset with cuts in two loanprograms that finance techno-logical development.House Democrats balked

because the cuts included $1.5billion for an EnergyDepartment program that sub-sidizes low-interest loans tohelp car companies and partsmanufacturers retool factoriesto meet new fuel economy stan-dards. Democrats said it wouldcost up to 10,000 jobs.

Taking them by surpriseBY DAVID FONGExecutive Editor

fong@tdnpublishing.com

Steve Nolan even caught hisplayers by surprise.Up 28-21 with less than four

minutes to play in the game, con-ventional wisdom—andTroy foot-ball history— dictated theTrojanswould run the ball in an attempttowork the clock.That’s when Troy quarterback

Cody May dropped back to passand hit receiver Ian Dunawaywith a 25-yard pass. Two playslater, Marcus Foster ripped off a24-yard touchdown run, putting

the Trojans up 35-21.Troy would hold on for a 35-28

win over a Beavercreek team thatrefused to quit Friday atBeavercreekHigh School.With thewin, Troy improved to 4-1, whileBeavercreek fell to 3-2.“I was surprised,” said May,

who finished the game completing8 of 12 passes for 140 yards andone touchdown. “But I was happy Ihad another chance to make aplay.”Dunaway, who caught five

passes for 103 yards — none ofthem bigger than that final catch— was equally in shock to find outthe Trojans would be throwing theball late in the game.“I was so suprised, I lined up on

the wrong side of the field,” he saidDunaway, who also had a 9-

yard touchdown catch earlier inthe game. “Then I didn’t thinkCody was going to get the pass off.I saw a whole bunch of guys clos-ing in on him. Put he got it off andI just went up and grabbed it.”It was a stark departure from

Nolan’s typical coaching philoso-phy. In his three decades at Troy,

milking a lead by running the ballhas been his forte.“I don’t think anybody expected

it,” Nolan said. “But what could wedo? They were stuffing us on therun. We had to get another scorethere, because we couldn’tstopBeavercreek all night.”As Nolan had predicted,

Beavercreek did get the ball backand — after a long kickoff

returned — marched 59 yards toscore with just 1:22 to play,cuttingTroy’s lead to 35-28. NickZimmer recovered his third onsidekick of the game on the ensuingkickoff, however, icing the game forthe Trojans.Troy appeared to have the

game wrapped up midwaythrough the fourth quarter when,with Beavercreek driving, Beaverquarterback Justin Weaver madean errant option pitch, putting theball on the turf. Trojan cornerbackSeth Perdziola scooped the ball upon one bounce and raced,untouched, 78 yards for a touch-down, putting the Trojans up 28-7with 9:12 to play in the game.“I saw the play comingmyway,”

Perdziola said. “The quarterbacktried to pitch to the halfback, butthe halfback never knew it wascoming. I got it on the first bounceand just took off.”That appeared to be all the

Trojans would need.Appearances, however, proved

to be deceiving.The Beavers went 74 yards in

less than two minutes, cutting theTrojans’ lead to 28-14.Troy got the ball back, went

nowhere and had to punt.Beavercreek thenwent 83 yards injust 1:05, cutting Troy’s lead to 28-21 with 4:04 left to play.Zimmer recovered his second

onside kick of the night, setting upthe play from May to Dunaway.All told, the two teams com-

bined to score 35 points in thefourth quarter.At halftime, the game was tied,

7-7.“Beavercreek is a good team —

give them credit,” Nolan said.“They never quit, which we knewthey wouldn’t. It was a dogfight

After a lackluster first half,the Miami East Vikings simplydid what they’d been trained todo.Kept on believing.After being held to only 83

yards of offense and trailing theBees 10-6 after the first half, theVikings (4-1, 4-0 Cross CountyConference) executed theirgameplan to perfection, scoringon their first five possessions ofthe second half and pulling away

late for a 41-10 victory at Bethel.“Our guys just believe in what

we’re doing and competed at ahigh level in the second half,”Miami East coach Max Currentsaid. “We knew we’d be in a warwith Bethel tonight, but we feltthat we could we could wearthem down in the second half.Weput some serious pressure onthem, and our guys executed inthe second half.”And Kevin McMaken,

NBA postpones camps, cancels 43 preseason gamesNEWYORK (AP) —The

lockout has started doingreal damage to the NBA’scalendar.

Players won’t report atthe usual time. The presea-son won’t start as sched-uled.

And more cancellationscould be necessary withouta new labor deal soon.

Out of time to keepeverything intact, the NBApostponed training campsindefinitely and canceled43 preseason games Fridaybecause it has not reachedan agreement with players.

All games from Oct. 9-15are off, the league said.

Camps were expected toopen Oct. 3.

“We have regretfullyreached the point on thecalendar where we are notable to open training campson time and need to cancelthe first week of preseasongames,” DeputyCommissioner Adam Silversaid in a statement. “Wewill make further decisionsas warranted.”

The players’ associationdid not comment.

NBA.com’s schedulepage, which has a banneracross the top listing thenumber of games on eachday, was changed Friday

morning to read “0 Games”for each date until Oct. 16,when there are four games.

Those could be in jeop-ardy, too, without an agree-ment by the end of thismonth or very earlyOctober. The leaguescrapped the remainder ofits preseason schedule onOct. 6 in 1998, when theregular season was reducedto 50 games.

That remains the onlytime the NBA has lostgames to a work stoppage.

The cancellations wereinevitable after Thursday’smeeting between ownersand players ended without

a collective bargainingagreement. Both sides stillhope the entire regular sea-son, scheduled to beginNov. 1, can be saved.

The league locked outthe players on July 1 afterthe expiration of the oldlabor agreement. Ownersand players still haven’tagreed on how to dividerevenues players wereguaranteed 57 percentunder the previous deal orthe structure of the salarycap.

The next talks aren’tscheduled, but both sidessaid Thursday they hope tomeet again next week

though the window couldbe limited because of theJewish holiday.They proba-bly need a deal by the mid-dle of October to avoid can-celing real games.

Asked Thursday if hethought things were farenough along to stillbelieve that was possible,Commissioner David Sternsaid: “I don’t have anyresponse to that. I justdon’t. I don’t know theanswer.”

According to NBA policy,ticket holders for canceledgames will be refunded thecost of the ticket plus 1 per-cent interest.

The NBA had long pre-pared for a shortened orcanceled preseason, declin-ing to schedule exhibitiongames overseas for the firsttime since 2005 also when alabor pact was set to expire.

Still, the hope had beento find a way to negotiate adeal in time that wouldallow the ball to be tippedas scheduled in Detroit andOrlando on Oct. 9, the firstof five games that night.Realistic chances of thatpassed in recent days, giventhe expectation of abouttwo weeks from a deal inprinciple to a completedagreement.

Bracing for the worstCOLUMBUS (AP) —

On message boards andcall-in shows, you can hearthe dread, the disappoint-ment and the discourage-ment from Ohio State fans.

A painful 24-6 loss atMiami last Saturday nighthas the Buckeyes faithfulexpecting the worst. Eventhough eight games remainon the schedule, and keysuspended players will bereturning soon, some fansare girding for a debacle.They predict the program’sfirst losing season since1988.

But not everyone seesimpending gloom and doomfor the Buckeyes.

Colorado coach JonEmbree, who brings hisBuffaloes to Ohio Stadiumon Saturday, benefits frombeing removed from the sit-uation. He thinks the fansare overreacting.

“I know people are downon them around their pro-gram,” he said. “But to me,it is more that they havebeen so successful and theyhave done so well. And all

of a sudden they lose agame and it is supposed tochange? I don’t see it.”

It’s appropriate thatOhio State’s coach isnamed Fickell. Buckeyesfans have been known toshow their fickle nature.Former coach John Cooperonce cracked, “They’re withus, win or tie.”

That’s not to say thatthe Buckeyes don’t haveproblems. The quarterbackjob is an open sore after anabysmal passing perform-ance (4 of 18, 35 yards, oneinterception) in the loss tothe Hurricanes. True fresh-man Braxton Miller willget his first collegiate startagainst the Buffaloes, withJoe Bauserman backinghim up.

But the Miami loss was-n’t all the fault ofBauserman or Miller. Thewide receivers were cov-ered like a fallen tent in awind storm. The defensegave up a 54-yard run onits first play, and then sur-rendered touchdown pass-es to cap the first two pos-

sessions.Ohio State (2-1), still

awaiting three suspendedstarters’ return in twomore games, has a lot ofcracks and breeches to fix.The Buckeyes are aware ofwhat is being said aboutthem. But they haven’tstopped believing.

“That’s how fans are,”offensive lineman J.B.Shugarts said. “Some fansare bandwagon fans, somefans aren’t. But BuckeyeNation is loyal for the mostpart and we’ve got some ofthe best fans in the country.I would just tell them tohave faith, this is OhioState.”

He’s not the only onewho thinks the school col-ors should remain scarletand gray instead black.

“People are used to win-ning around here and soare we,” center MikeBrewster said. “They don’ttake losing lightly and nei-ther do we. That’s whywe’re going to continue tokeep getting better everyday and make sure we

come out Saturday playingwell.”

Interim coach LukeFickell has stressed bounc-ing back to his charges.

“They know how youfeel. It’s not like I’m goingto hide my emotions fromthem,” he said. “But youhave to move on. You got totake it a day at a time. Ifyou try to look two or threeor four weeks down theroad where are you going tobe at at this time? to methat’s when you kill your-self. It’s that every singleday trying to focus on thatday, having some patiencewith it, finding ways to getbetter, see yourself gettingbetter as a team in every-thing that you do.”

Colorado (1-2) comes inwith some momentum thatit hopes to build on, a 28-14victory over rival ColoradoState last week Embree’sfirst win as a head coach atany level. Next week, theBuffaloes debut in the Pac-12 or whatever the name ornumber of the conferencemight be by then.

Scott leads atChampionship

ATLANTA (AP)—AdamScott is playing well enoughto win the TourChampionship.With a littlehelp, he could win a lotmore.

Scott figured he was toofar back in the FedEx Cupat No. 19 to have a realisticchance at the $10 millionbonus. His main concernwas heading home toAustralia after this weekwith the crystal trophy fromthe Tour Championship.

His chances havechanged, even if his focushasn’t.

Scott finished birdie-birdie for the secondstraight day on the toughclosing holes at East Lake,allowing him to recoverfrom a rugged start for a 5-under 65 on Friday and aone-shot lead over K.J.Choi.

He hit a 9-iron from adivot on the 17th to 7 feet,then hit a 3-iron into about10 feet on the par-3 18th tofinish at 8-under 132 andhead into the weekend ofthe FedEx Cup finale withincreasing possibilities.

“I’ve got to win, and Iimagine Webb (Simpson)must have to finish prettylow to give me a chance,”Scott said of the FedEx Cup.“That’s all I know. I just fig-ured if I win this week, I’llbe happy no matter what.I’ll finish what I think has

been a really good season.”Choi also had a 65 and

will be in the final groupSaturday with Scott.

Two shots behind wereLuke Donald, the No. 1player in the world and No.4 in the FedEx Cup, whohad a 68; and Jason Day,who was paired with Scotton a balmy afternoon andshot 67.

Bubba Watson had thelow round of the day at 64and was three shots behindwith a pair of PresidentsCup hopefuls, Bill Haas andKeegan Bradley, andHunter Mahan. Bradley,who had a two-shot lead,bogeyed two of his first fiveholes and never quite recov-ered in his round of 71.

Scott, who won the TourChampionship at East Lakein 2006 the year before theFedEx Cup was created,also had a scrappy startwith three bogeys on theopening six holes.

“I was pretty annoyed atmyself, but I’m playing toogood to let myself flip awayat the moment,” he said.

Scott proved that by run-ning off four straightbirdies, then adding anotheron No. 12 with a deft shotfrom a fairway bunker toabout 8 feet that put himahead of Day, who only sixholes earlier had been fiveshots clear of Scott.

Neinas takes the reins of fractured Big 12By the Associated Press

Needing someone strongand savvy to mend the Big12, the league has turnedto a former Big Eight com-missioner who also helpedusher in the era of collegefootball as big business.

Chuck Neinas, who isknown across the collegelandscape as a smart con-sensus builder, will takeover the Big 12 as interimcommissioner on Oct. 3.The Big 12 dumped formercommissioner Dan Beebeon Thursday in a mutualagreement after the confer-ence nearly fell apart forthe second time in 15months.

The 79-year-old Neinassaid he is going to the Big

12 to work, not just sitaround until his successoris picked. He is not going tobe considered a candidatefor the permanent job.

“I am not a caretaker.My mission is to bring theconference closer togetherand move forward andmake progress in all areas,”Neinas told The AssociatedPress on Friday, adding heexpects to be on the job sixmonths or longer.

Neinas was Big Eightcommissioner from 1971 to1980. He left for theCollege FootballAssociation, a confedera-tion of schools that foughtto take control of TV rightsaway from the NCAA.Oklahoma and Georgia hadsued the NCCA over the

issue and federalcourts ruled infavor of theschools, puttingthem in chargeof negotiatingtelevision con-tracts that arenow valued inthe billions.

TV rights arealso at the centerof the Big 12’sattempt to patch itself backtogether.

The nine remainingschools Texas A&M is plan-ning to leave in 2012 haveagreed in principle to givetheir TV rights to the con-ference for the next sixyears. That would essen-tially handcuff the schoolsto the Big 12 by making

them leave behindtheir TV rights andmoney if theybreak away or arepoached by anotherleague.

No contractshave been signedand the proposalneeds approval ofat least someschool governingboards around the

Big 12.Beyond his business

acumen, Neinas said it ishis job to help mend hurtfeelings in a league wherehe has many long relation-ships.

“I would like to see thesame kind of atmospherethat we had in the BigEight. It was family,”

Neinas said.After the CFA disband-

ed, Neinas founded a con-sulting firm that helpedmany of the Big 12’sbiggest names land theirjobs.His search firm helpedTexas hire football coachMack Brown and helpedOklahoma hire both foot-ball coach Bob Stoops andathletic director JoeCastiglione.

Neinas also hired cur-rent Texas athletic directorDeLoss Dodds as an assis-tant commissioner in theBig Eight in 1977.

Steven Hatchell, whowas the first Big 12 com-missioner when the leaguewas formed in 1996 and isnow president of theNational Football

Foundation and CollegeFootball Hall of Fame, hasknown Neinas since 1971.He called him “ideal forwhat needs to be done.”

“He’s smart, intuitiveand very experienced onthese types of things,”Hatchell said.

Former Oklahoma coachBarry Switzer said Neinasis “respected by everyone”and has the skills to bringthe biggest and smallestprograms in the league inline.

“I see all these games ontelevision every Saturdayand I think about this:They wouldn’t be on televi-sion if it hadn’t been for usand for Chuck Neinas andGeorgia taking on Goliath(NCAA),” Switzer said.

Vikes/Bees

Michael Fellers and JoshSnyder were the primaryexecutioners.

Fellers had the Vikings’only score in the first halfon a 36-yard touchdownrun, as well as their finalone on a 20-yard run,Snyder had the first twoscores of the second half —a 35-yard run and a 3-yardpass from Colton Bowling— and McMaken was theworkhorse, carrying the ball21 times for 87 yards andtouchdown runs of 24 and 2yards.

“We just got our compo-sure and played footballlike we know we can,”Current said. “The guyshave improved this seasonby competing every down.We never take a play off,and we always stick togeth-er.

“Our execution up frontand in some other areaswasn’t quite there in thefirst half. But in the secondhalf, the line was executingits blocks better, the backswere executing better —and we tackled better ondefense.”

The Bees (2-3, 1-3) sim-ply didn’t have the horses tokeep up.

“Injuries and a lack ofdepth really hurt ustonight,” Bethel coach BradClendening said. “We had13 kids out on Monday thatweren’t eligible to play, sowe were really depleted. Ithought we outplayed themin the first half, but it was adifferent ballgame in thesecond half.”

Bethel captured themomentum early in thefirst half. James Pelphreypicked off a Bowling pass,giving the Bees a short fieldto work with at the Viking28. On third-and-13, JonEllerbrock escaped theMiami East pass rush and

found Reed Pelphrey for afirst down, then Ellerbrockhit Austin Staggs on a 10-yard slant over the middleto put the Bees on top 7-0.

Miami East answered onits first drive of the secondquarter. Michael Fellerstook a pitch around the leftside and cut through a gap-ing hole in the line, winninga foot race to the end zoneand going 36 yardsuntouched — but a blockedextra point kept Bethelahead, 7-6.

After a punt byGarlough died at the 2-yardline, the Bethel defense heldand gave the Bees the ballat the Miami East 47.Ellerbrock showed hisescapability again, scram-bling to his right and elud-ing a pair of sacks then cut-ting all the way back to theopposite side of the field forwhat appeared to be a 53-yard touchdown — but achop block penalty wipedthose points off the board,forcing Bethel to settle for a29-yard Garlough field goalwith 16 seconds left, givingthe Bees a 10-6 lead at thebreak.

Bethel finished the gamewith 11 penalties for 85yards, and even thoughthey got points after it, thewiped-out touchdown reallyhurt the Bees.

“We had a lot of penal-ties tonight that we hadn’thad all year,” Clendeningsaid. “They were aggressive

penalties, but we can’t fightback from 70-80 penaltyyards — especially whenthey’re taking touchdownsaway.”

Snyder kicked off thesecond half with a bang,taking the same kind ofpitch that Fellers hadscored on 35 yards for atouchdown tomake it 12-10,then after a Bethel three-and-out, Snyder capped offa nine-play, 60-yard drivewith a 3-yard touchdownreception and a two-pointrun to make it 20-10.

Miami East led 27-10 atthe end of the third afterMcMaken’s 24-yard burstthrough the middle, andafter a bad snap on a puntgave the Vikings the ball onBethel’s 2-yard line, he tookit in on the Vikings’ firstplay after. Fellers made it

35 unanswered points afterthe Vikings recovered aBethel fumble, scoring on a20-yard pitch.

Bethel had four three-and-outs and a lost fumbleon its first five possessionsof the second half— and theVikings cashed in.

“We played with goodemotion in the second half,”Current said. “In the firsthalf, we kind of played withsome bad emotions. Whenwe made mistakes, we gotdown and mad, had somenegative emotions. But inthe second half, we didn’tworry about our mistakes.We just executed.”

Miami East facesCovington in a matchup ofthe two top teams in theCCC next week, whileBethel travels to TwinValley South.

At no pointdid we feel com-fortable with our lead, nomatter how much we gotup.”

While May andDunaway spearheaded theTrojans offensive attackmost of the night, halfbacksFoster and Isaiah Williamsalso got in their fair shareof carries. Foster carriedthe ball 15 times for 125yards — his best rushingtotal of the season — and a

pair of touchdowns, whileWilliams chipped in 11 car-ries for 71 yards and atouchdown.

Ultimately, however, itwas the pass — not the run— that sealed thevictoryfor the Trojans.

“That’s the challenge ofcoaching,” Nolan said. “Youdo what you have to do.Youhave to go with whatworks. If the run isn’t there,you have to throw the ball.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — TonyStewart picked “idiot” as his word ofthe week at Chicagoland Speedway,where he used it to describe some ofhis rival racers and, kind of, himself.

The two-time NASCAR championwent into the first round of the Chasefor the Sprint Cup championship cer-tain that only seven drivers couldcontend for the title this year. Theway Stewart figured it, he wasamong the five drivers who had noshot at winning the Chase.

Asked what would happen if heactually did win the title, Stewartconfidently said, “I’ll declare I’m atotal bumbling idiot.”

It seems now as if Smoke mighthave been sandbagging just a littlebit.

Stewart picked up his first win ofthe season Monday at Chicagoland.The victory snapped a 32-race losingstreak, extended his record to 13 con-secutive years with at least one win,and, most important, rocketed himseven spots in the standings to sec-ond.

He goes to New Hampshire thisweekend for Round 2 of the Chasetrailing leader Kevin Harvick by

seven points.He still wanted to hedge his bets

in a subdued postrace news confer-ence, but was willing to admit hisStewart-Haas Racing team haspicked it up a bit over the last threeweeks. It would be an understate-ment to say hewas terrible at Bristol,where he finished 28th, down threelaps from the leaders.

But since then, he was third atAtlanta, seventh at Richmond andthen won at Chicago.

“I’ve had a miserable year, but thelast three weeks we’ve really startedcoming into it,” Stewart said.

That’s bad news for the competi-tion since SHR dominated NewHampshire in July. He and team-mate Ryan Newman combined tolead 167 of the 301 laps, andNewman led Stewart to a 1-2 sweepfor SHR.

Statistics show he’ll likely haveanother strong run Sunday: In 25career starts at Loudon, Stewart hastwo wins, 15 top-10s and an averagefinish of 12.0.

But, Stewart will have to makesure he’s not his own worst enemy.He’s been grumpy of late, and while

the temperamental driver’s moodswings don’t usually raise eyebrows,his fixation on enforcing on-track eti-quette could derail his title run.

It backfired on him earlier thisseason at Sonoma, where BrianVickers intentionally wreckedStewart as payback for Stewart’senforcement earlier in the race. Atthe time, Stewart insisted he was notgoing to back off.

“I’m going to stay the course on it,”Stewart said. “I’m just to the pointwhere I’m fed up with some of theway some of these guys are racingeach other. If we miss the Chasebecause of it, so be it. There’s 42 guysout there, and they know how I race,they know what I expect. And I don’trace them that way, I don’t block guysand I’m not going to block guys. Butif they block me, they will suffer theconsequences.”

His rage flared up again Monday,when as the in-race reporter forESPN, he referred to some “idiots” onthe track and vowed to put an end totheir lack of manners.Moments later,he bulldozed to the top of the trackand stormed into the lead with anaggressive but impressive pass.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) — The first sign thiswasn’t going to be DennyHamlin’s year probablycame before the seasoneven started.

A bizarre mechanicalissue sent Hamlin’s carsliding through the infieldgrass as he was getting upto speed on his qualifyinglap for the Daytona 500. Itwas the first in a series ofbroken parts, bad luck andbotched opportunities thathave made this the worstseason of his six-yearcareer.

But the start of theChase for the Sprint Cupchampionship was sup-posed to be a fresh start.

Not so much.Hamlin’s championship

pursuit got off to a disas-trous start Monday atChicagoland Speedway,where he limped to a 31st-place finish. On a day whenseveral title contenderswere stuck with poor fin-ishes after running out ofgas on the final lap, nobodyhad it worse than Hamlin.

He went into Chicagoranked last in the 12-driver

field and left in the samespot. But he began the dayonly 12 points behind theleaders and now he’s awhopping 41 points behindKevin Harvick.

Hamlin knew the gravi-ty of his situation when heleft the track, and heun cha r a c t e r i s t i c a l l ydeclined to commentbecause, really, what wasthere for him to say?

A day later, he tried toput a positive spin on theroad ahead.

“Obviously, not the waywe wanted to start the

Chase,” Hamlin saidTuesday in quotes providedby his public relations rep-resentative.

“But we’re going to doour best to dig out of this.We still have some goodtracks for us coming up,and you never know whatcan happen.”

Indeed, he does.Hamlin shifts to Round

2 of the Chase this week-end at New Hampshire,where his 7.2 average fin-ish is best among activedrivers. Also on the sched-ule is Martinsville (four

wins), Texas (swept lastseason) and Homestead(2009 victory).

The turnaround timethis week is tight, butHamlin needs to pick him-self up and take the firststeps toward climbing outof this huge hole. He can doit, too, if he follows the verywords he spoke last week,before the Chase began.

“I know that everythingthat goes on from this pointforward is a bonus for us,”he said. “Normally, wewould not have a shot at achampionship.”

‘Total bumbling idiot’

SAO PAULO (AP) —Helio Castroneves is notdone lashing out at IndyCarchief steward BrianBarnhart, saying the officialhas “lost it” and is a “seriousproblem” to the series.

Furious with Barnhart’sdecision to punish him afterSunday’s race in Japan,Castroneves has decided togo all out against the officialand is not mincing words toexpress his disappointment.

The rant started withseveral strong-worded postson his Twitter page after therace in Motegi, then becameeven stronger in a columnpublished by a Braziliannewspaper on Tuesday.

“IndyCar has a seriousproblem and it’s called BrianBarnhart,” was the title ofCastroneves’ column in theMetro newspaper.

“I acknowledge that(Barnhart) has done a lot forthe series, but he has defi-nitely lost it,” the three-timeIndy 500 winner said. “It’simpossible to accept thedecisions of a race directorwho is inconsistent, whoissues different punishmentto identical situations andwho is condescending withsome and harsh with oth-ers.”

Castroneves called“absurd” Barnhart’s decisionto move him from seventh to22nd place in the Japan raceafter he made a pass underyellow on the last lap. Thedriver acknowledged hisovertaking maneuver wasillegal, but said he should’vereceived a one-spot penaltyinstead of being sent to theback of the field among thoseon the lead lap.

Castroneves said similarsituations in the pastprompted more lenient pun-ishment from IndyCar.

“Why does the race direc-tor do something like thiswhen it comes toCastroneves but acts differ-ently when it comes to otherdrivers?” the Brazilian wrotein his column.

Barnhart defended hisdecision and said there hadnot been any similar inci-dents of passing under alocal yellow on a road course.He said Castroneves waslikely trying to draw a paral-lel to when the series resetthe order under caution atIndy at the end of the lasttwo races there, but said itwasn’t the same situation.

“It’s comparing applesand oranges,” Barnhart saidin an email to TheAssociated Press. “As far as Iknow, since we have beenroad racing this was the onlyexample of a blatant disre-gard of a local yellow, com-bined with a direct orderfrom race control, that wehave ever experienced.”

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) —A severe shortage of drugsfor chemotherapy, infec-tions and other serious ail-ments is endangeringpatients and forcing hospi-tals to buy life-saving med-ications from secondarysuppliers at huge markupsbecause they can’t getthem any other way.An Associated Press

review of industry reportsand interviews with nearlytwo dozen experts found atleast 15 deaths in the past15 months blamed on theshortages, either becausethe right drug wasn’t avail-able or because of dosingerrors or other problems inadministering or preparingalternative medications.The shortages, mainly

involving widely-usedgeneric injected drugs thatordinarily are cheap, havebeen delaying surgeriesand cancer treatments,leaving patients in unnec-essary pain and forcinghospitals to give less effec-tive treatments. That’sresulted in complicationsand longer hospital stays.Just over half of the 549

U.S. hospitals respondingto a survey this summer bythe Institute for Safe

Medication Practices, apatient safety group, saidthey had purchased one ormore prescription drugsfrom so-called “gray mar-ket vendors” companiesother than their normalwholesalers. Most also saidthey’ve had to do so moreoften of late, and 7 percent

reported side effects orother problems.Hospital pharmacists

“are really looking at thisas a crisis. They are scram-bling to find drugs,” saidJoseph Hill of theAmerican Society ofHealth-System Pharm-acists.

A hearing on the issuewas set for Friday beforethe health subcommittee ofthe House Energy andCommerce Committee. TheFood and DrugAdministration is holding ameeting Monday with med-ical and consumer groups,researchers and industry

representatives to discussthe shortages and strate-gies to fight them.The FDA says the pri-

mary cause of the shortagesis production shutdownsbecause of manufacturingproblems, such as contami-nation and metal particlesthat get into medicine.Other reasons:Companies abandoning

the injected generic drugmarket because the profitmargins are slim.Producing these sterilemedicines is far more com-plicated and expensivethan stamping out pills,and it can take about threeweeks to produce a batch.Making things worse, com-panies don’t have to notifycustomers or the FDA thatthey’ve stopped making amedicine. That means nei-ther FDA nor competitorscan fill the gap in time.Only a half-dozen com-

panies make the vastmajority of injected gener-ics. Even if other compa-nies wanted to begin mak-ing a generic drug in shortsupply, they’re discouragedby the lengthy, expensiveprocess of setting up newmanufacturing lines andgetting FDA approval.

Theft of prescriptiondrugs from warehouses orduring shipment.Secondary, “gray mar-

ket” vendors who buyscarce drugs from smallregional wholesalers, phar-macies or other sourcesand then market them tohospitals, often at manytimes the normal price.These sellers may not belicensed, authorized dis-tributors.Hospitals that buy

scarce medicines from the“gray market” are taking agamble.The drugs may be stolen

and hospitals can’t alwaystell whether a medicinewas properly refrigeratedas required for manyinjectable drugs or whetherit’s past the expiration date,said Michael R. Cohen, apharmacist and presidentof the institute. Either way,the active ingredient mighthave degraded and thedrug might not work well orcould harm the patient, hesaid.Cohen attributes at

least 15 recent deaths todrug shortages based onreports by medical person-nel, but says many deathsand injuries go unreported.

GENEVA (AP) —Physicists on the team thatmeasured particles travel-ing faster than light saidFriday they were as sur-prised as their skepticsabout the results, whichappear to violate the lawsof nature as we know them.Hundreds of scientists

packed an auditorium atone of the world’s foremostlaboratories on the Swiss-French border to hear howa subatomic particle, theneutrino, was found to haveoutrun light and confound-ed the theories of AlbertEinstein.

“To our great surprisewe found an anomaly,” saidAntonio Ereditato, who par-ticipated in the experimentand speaks on behalf of theteam.An anomaly is a mild

way of putting it.Going faster than light

is something that is just notsupposed to happen,according to Einstein’s1905 special theory of rela-tivity. The speed of light186,282 miles per second(299,792 kilometers persecond) has long been con-sidered a cosmic speedlimit.

The team a collaborationbetween France’s NationalInstitute for Nuclear andParticle Physics Researchand Italy’s Gran SassoNational Laboratory fired aneutrino beam 454 miles(730 kilometers) under-ground from Geneva toItaly.They found it traveled

60 nanoseconds faster thanlight. That’s sixty billionthof a second, a time nohuman brain could register.“You could say it’s

peanuts, but it’s not. It’ssomething that we canmeasure rather accurately

with a small uncertainty,”Ereditato told TheAssociated Press.If the experiment is

independently repeatedmost likely by teams in theUnited States or Japanthen it would require a fun-damental rethink of mod-ern physics.“Everybody knows that

the speed limit is c, thespeed of light. And if youfind some matter particlesuch as the neutrino goingfaster than light, this issomething which immedi-ately shocks everybody,including us,” said

Ereditato, a researcher atthe University of Bern,Switzerland.Physicists not involved

in the experiment havebeen understandably skep-tical.Alvaro De Rujula, a the-

oretical physicist at CERN,the European Organizationfor Nuclear Research out-side Geneva from wherethe neutron beam wasfired, said he blamed thereadings on a so-far unde-tected human error.If not, and it’s a big if,

the door would be opened tosome wild possibilities.

The average person, saidDe Rujula, “could, in princi-ple, travel to the past andkill their mother beforethey were born.”But Ereditato and his

team are wary of lettingsuch science fiction storylines keep them up atnight.“We will continue our

studies and we will waitpatiently for the confirma-tion,” he told the AP.“Everybody is free to dowhat they want: to think, toclaim, to dream.”He added: “I’m not going

to tell you my dreams.”

Physicists wary of junking light speed limit yet

Hospital drug shortages deadly, costly

AP PHOTO/JIM URQUHARTThis Aug. 29 photo shows a board listing drugs in short supply at the University ofUtah Hospital, in Salt Lake City. At hospitals across the country,“scoring drugs”hastaken on a new meaning. Hundreds admit buying medicines at exorbitant pricesfrom“gray market” dealers taking advantage of, and possibly exacerbating, a recordshortage of life-saving prescription medicines.
