Let’s start with Twain who wrote: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” That’s the right sentiment to describe the email which claims that Lt. Col. Oliver North warned then Sen. Al Gore about Osama Bin Laden during congressional testimony in 1987. The hoax spread like wildfire after the Sept. 11 attacks. It was so popular that North debunked it himself by pointing out (among other things) that he was not questioned by Gore and that the terrorist he spoke about was Abu Nidal, not Osama Bin Laden. An anonymous email forward is one thing but these “facts” get embarrassing when people post the things they know for sure on social networks. More than one person has had to apologize to their Facebook friends for sharing “facts” that weren’t facts. Although there are hundreds of examples especially involving President Barack Obama (who, it turns out, was never a member of the Black Panther Party) and his immediate predecessor George W. Bush. The photo showing Bush holding a book upside down might be funny, but it’s fake. Another of these that stuck out to us was the famous or infamous, “I’m Tired,” speech that is incorrectly attributed to Bill Cosby. Cosby may be tired but he never made any of the statements in that email. The Cosby email, for many, had too much “truthiness” to ignore and for a time we often saw it in our inboxes and Facebook pages. Late Night comics Stephen Colbert invented truthiness. It describes those things we want to believe (mainly because they support our point of view) even when they are false. If it sounds good, if our gut says it is right but it just is not true, then it is truthiness. Colbert’s wit was aimed, as it usually is, at politicians who do their best to polish and spin truthiness into votes on Election Day. There will surely be mountains of truthiness as the election draws near and we hope voters will do their homework when they are confronted by claims that sound too good to be false. When people and politicians allow the facts to get rubbery it’s damaging to the entire political process. We can’t have honest disagreements using dishonest facts. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence,” Adams said as he defended British soldiers in Boston in 1770, And while facts may be stubborn, they can be slow to appear when we really need them even, it seems, on the Internet where fact and fiction live side by side and are only a click away. Twain, as he often did, nailed down the heart of the problem. “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” Reprinted from the Panama City (Fla.)

There’s age of fixes they could make.

They could mandate better and more rigorous evaluation procedures and the use of metrics that lay bare what works and what doesn’t. There’s more attention being paid these days to efficacy than there used to be, but it’s still a trickle compared to what’s needed. They could avoid rushing to announce programs, strive to get it right rather then get it quickly, and pay as much attention to follow-through as to the launch. Think about long term, not the next election, and make sure the mission is sharply defined. They could devote far more attention to how government will recruit, retain, and train the smart, highly qualified workers we need to carry out ever-more-complex programs. And they could vow to reduce the number of political appointees in favor of filling most positions on the basis of merit. They should certainly flatten the chain of command and reduce the layers of bureaucracy within federal departments and agencies, so that it’s easier for top administrators to see what’s taking place on the front lines. In the case of Congress, it needs to ensure that vigorous oversight of programs becomes a habit, not the rarity it is now. All of us want government to fail less often, whatever our political stripe. So here’s my suggestion: As election season approaches, insist that your favored candidate work harder on making government more effective and efficient. Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Thursday, Aug. 7, the 219th day of 2014. There are 146 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 7, 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson broad powers in dealing with reported North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. forces. On this date: In 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. In 1789, the U.S. War Department was established by Congress. In 1814, Pope Pius VII issued a bull restoring the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, four decades after the order had been suppressed by Pope Clement XIV. In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into full-scale violence. In 1927, the already opened Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo, New York, and Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, was officially dedicated. In 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.) In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth.

The club intends to make interior and exterior modifications to the area stretching from center to right field, a person familiar with the plans confirmed for The Associated Press on Wednesday. The changes will require a modest reduction in seats, which the team will offset by the addition of social areas to accommodate fans, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not made its designs public. The first phase of the project, which is expected to be completed by opening day in 2015, will be privately financed, the person said. The Indians are expected to announce details on the upgrades at the 43,000-seat ballpark later this week. In making substantial improvements to Progressive Field, the team will join the city’s two other professional teams, Bryan Walters | file photo The grounds crew wraps up work on the field before the start of a baseball game between the Browns and Cavaliers, who are both the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox on Sunday, July 13, 2014, at Progressive Field in the process of making enhancements in Cleveland, Ohio. at FirstEnergy Stadium and Quicken OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Stringers needed for 2014 football season GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Ohio Valley Publishing is currently searching for two individuals that want to be a part of the upcoming 2014 football season in an extra capacity.

Known as Jacobs Field when it opened in 1994 to replace crumbling Municipal Stadium, the 43,000-seat home of Cleveland’s major league baseball team has undergone numerous alterations over the past two decades. The Indians have been proactive in keeping Progressive Field outfitted with the latest in scoreboards, concessions and other services to please today’s fan, and the ballpark has aged gracefully and looks as good as it did when the gates opened in ‘94. However, the club has seen attendance drop from a franchise-high 3.46 million in 1999 to 1.57 million last season. The Indians are drawing only 18,659 fans per game this year — second-lowest in the majors. There are numerous reasons for the decline: a slow-to-recover economy, dwindling population and baseball’s struggle to lure younger fans among them. The Indians sold out 455 straight See BALLPARK | B5 Some excited to play with LeBron INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — They were pieces of a championship puzzle in Miami, perfect fits. Mike Miller and James Jones hope to be just as valuable accessories in Cleveland to help LeBron James win a title that would mean more to the superstar than any other. “Obviously,” Miller said, “our goal is to win a championship.” Attracted to the Cavaliers for a chance to play again with James, Miller and Jones were introduced Wednesday by the Cavs, who finally got a chance to show off some of their newest assets of this “monumental” summer. Flanking Cavs general manager David Griffin, Miller and Jones both expressed their excitement at being a part of James’ homecoming, a return the Ohio native wants to crown by ending the city’s 50-year championship drought. Miller and Jones won back-to-back titles with James and the Heat. They know what it takes to win, and they know it won’t be easy. “Winning a championship takes a lot of hard work. It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do,” Miller said. I was able to be a part, and James was able to be a part of an unbelievable ride in Miami.” They’re riding with James again. Two of the league’s better long-range shooters, Miller and Jones will give Cleveland more weapons to add to the ones they already have in James, All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and maybe even forward Kevin Love, who could be headed to the Cavaliers in a trade with Minnesota before the month ends. Miller and Jones understand what it’s like to be on the floor and on the receiving end of a pass from James, one of the best enablers the game has ever seen. “It’s great,” Jones said. AP Photo | Tony Dejak Cleveland Cavaliers’ James Jones, left, and Mike Miller hold up their jersey’s after being introduced to the media at an NBA basketball news conference Wednesday in Independence, Ohio. “I relish the opportunity to play with LeBron once again and the chance to play with Kyrie because as a shooter that’s what you want, you want good looks. Sometimes the looks can be too open, it gives you too much time to think, but we’ll live with those problems. “ The Cavs have fewer of those these days. Following a disappointing season, they drafted Andrew Wiggins with the No. 1 overall pick, signed coach David Blatt and top assistant Tyronn Lue, rekindled with James and re-signed the four-time MVP after a four-year separation, signed Miller and Jones and could soon land Love, one of the league’s best players. “I don’t know if you can have six months like we’ve had, but it’s been special,” Griffin said. It could get better. Along with the potential deal for Love, which could cost the Cavs Wiggins, Cleveland also has interest in signing free agent Ray Allen, the most prolific 3-point shooter in league history. Jones recently spent time with in Connecticut with Allen, who is weighing retirement against a shot at a fourth championship ring. “We talked about those things that are important to us, which are families, our legacies and our careers,” Jones said. “So he has a decision to make. Of course we’d love to have Ray. Hopefully he makes a decision that’s best for him, and hopefully it’s a decision to continue to play. But as far as where he goes and what he’s thinking, I don’t know. “I’m pretty sure he knows the guys that are here up front, and LeBron, would love for him to play with us.” Miller played with James on Tuesday at the superstar’s high school alma mater in Akron and reported the “greatest player on the planet right now” looks good following a recent weight loss. James is gearing up for a season that could top anything he’s done so far in his remarkable career. Miller has never seen James so determined. “I think his passion for wanting to bring a championship back here to Cleveland drives him more than anything,” he said. “It’s one of the reasons me and James are sitting up here and we’re excited to be here. That’s one of the reasons, because he’s driven to do that and that’s exciting. For as much as he’s given us, for us to be a part of this and hopefully help him do what he wants to do would be awesome.” �CLASSIFIED B2 Thursday, August 7, 2014 Wanted Professional Services A Place to Call Home Can be single or married Call Oasis to help a child find a place to call home.

(AP) — It was Jeff Gordon’s championship to lose just a week ago after his record fifth win at the Brickyard. Then Dale Earnhardt Jr. completed a season sweep at Pocono and now he’s the guy to beat. Jeff and Junior, two of NASCAR’s biggest stars heating up during this lazy summer stretch of racing. NASCAR really couldn’t ask for anything more. Well, it wouldn’t hurt if Tony Stewart threw his hat into the ring, too. As of Tuesday, it will be one year since the broken leg that ended his season, and Stewart has now gone 14 months without a victory. He is on the outside looking in on the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. Stewart is one of the very few drivers who move the needle for NASCAR, and he has just five races remaining to grab a win he desperately needs to make him automatically eligible to race for the championship. For now, the only noise Smoke is making on the track is his constant sniping against blocking (do as he says, not as he does), but it might be time for him to block his way into Victory Lane. That would give NASCAR the trifecta for its highly anticipated Chase, which for the first time will feature elimination rounds and a winner-takeall finale. Picture the glee on Brian France’s face in Phoenix if it’s some combination of Junior and Jeff, Smoke and Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick all jockeying to make the Final Four showdown at Homestead. Maybe Stewart makes it, maybe he doesn’t — and really, he needs to be in the Chase because the intensity is always higher when Smoke is involved — but that’s just another element of this win-win time for NASCAR. The powers that be can’t ask for anything more than the 24 and 88 flexing their muscles right now, when neither team has anything to lose. They are playing with house money, having fun seeing what they are made of before the 10-race Chase. For Gordon, the points leader for 14 of the last 15 weeks, it’s about building the confidence of his team and making them believe a championship is possible. There was no doubt after the Brickyard victory, and he followed it by leading a race-high 63 laps Sunday at Pocono before finishing sixth. The win went to Earnhardt, who used crew chief Steve Letarte’s strategy to complete the Pocono sweep. It was his third win of the season — the same amount of victories Earnhardt earned all of 2006 through 2013 — and came just four days after Hendrick Motorsports announced Letarte’s replacement for 2014. It showed the 88 team isn’t letting up, and Letarte is determined to guide Earnhardt to his first championship before he turns him over to Greg Ives at the end of the season.

Both will have to contend with Hendrick teammate Johnson, who may or may not be playing possum. He doesn’t have a top-10 finish since the last week of June, but it’s not unusual for Johnson, much like a swimmer, to taper off before turning it up several notches when everything is on the line. Then there’s Harvick, who seems to be up front and in contention every week, and Team Penske’s Keselowski and Joey Logano. They’ve got a combined seven wins and eight poles between them, and all three are locked into the Chase and looking ahead to September. But there are many drivers who don’t have that luxury just yet, including Matt Kenseth, who fell just short of winning the title last season. He’s winless so far this year, and like his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin, not at the same performance level they were last season. While Kenseth should get in on points — he’s fourth in the standings with five weeks to go — no one can take anything for granted. Same goes for Clint Bowyer (ninth in points), Greg Biffle (13th) and Kasey Kahne (14th). They are all perennial Chase qualifiers, but could all be bumped if some longshots — see: Aric Almirola at Daytona — start winning some races. A coveted Chase spot could vanish if road course ringer Marcos Ambrose makes it to Victory Lane at Watkins Glen on Sunday. NASCAR also could see hotshot rookies Kyle Larson, a success story from its diversity program, and Austin Dillon, the grandson of team owner Richard Childress, sneak their way into the Chase. Both are currently ranked inside the top 16 in the standings, and should there not be 16 race winners, they’ve got a shot at making the final cut. The story lines are changing every week, and in these dog days of summer, a time when nothing used to matter in NASCAR, everything is going right. LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Mike Mitchell prides himself on being reliable. So it bothered the Pittsburgh Steelers safety when he wasn’t able to practice with his new teammates because of a groin injury that sidelined the five-year veteran during the first week of training camp. Mitchell didn’t panic, exactly, but there was a sense of relief when he was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Monday, allowing him to put on the pads for the first time since he signed with the Steelers as a free agent in March. “It’s just training camp, but it does feel good to be healthy and to be able to play again,” Mitchell said. “You kind of feel like something has been taken away from you. So to get that back, it does feel good.” Mitchell, who wouldn’t reveal how he got hurt, had never dealt with a groin injury in his career. And while he didn’t report any lingering discomfort, Mitchell isn’t sure if he will play in the team’s first preseason game Saturday at the New York Giants. “I have no idea,” Mitchell said. “That’s up to coach.” The Steelers made Mitchell a priority in the offseason, reeling him in with a fiveyear, $25-million contract on the first day of free agency. The early injury setback frustrated Mitchell, who was eager to make a strong first impression. “I want to come out here and earn it with my brothers every day,” Mitchell said. “To see them, they’re all banged up, and how sore they are … I want to feel that way too. You kind of feel like you’re letting everyone down when you can’t practice.” The 27-year-old Mitchell enjoyed a breakout season last year on a Carolina Panthers defense that ranked second in the league in yards allowed. Mitchell started a career-best 14 games and set personal highs with 74 tackles, 3.5 sacks, four interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles. The Bengals’ offense wants to have a hard edge CINCINNATI (AP) — Pro Bowl linebacker Vontaze Burfict has felt a difference in the Bengals offense during training camp: It’s leaving a mark. Intent on running the ball a lot more, Cincinnati has been trying to hone more of an edge to its offense. First-year coordi- nator Hue Jackson wants it to take the field with an attitude. Burfict has noticed. “They’re more physical,” Burfict said. “I’m a little more sore this year.” That’s what Jackson was hoping that everyone feels. The Bengals have made it to the playoffs each of the past three seasons on the strength of their defense, which has finished in top seven in the league each of those years. Cincinnati ranked No. 3 overall in yards allowed last season. The offense has improved in each of quarterback Andy Dalton’s first three seasons, moving up from No. 22 to No. 10 last season. But most of that is linked to the passing game, which gained more prominence as Dalton matured. Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden got the head coaching job in Washington after the season. Jackson was promoted to coordinator and made it clear the Bengals would run the ball more — they’ve finished 19th, 18th and 18th in rushing the past three seasons. He’s been trying to foster a hard-edged attitude on an offense known more for A.J. Green’s acrobatic catches.

Browns coach Mike Pettine chose Brian Hoyer as the starting quarterback for Saturday’s game in Detroit, giving the veteran the first chance to impress before Manziel takes the field. Pettine said the decision to start Hoyer over Manziel was based on the veteran’s performance so far in training camp. “That was his job,” Pettine said. “He was the one coming into it. We did want to mix the groups up coming into it, as we did, but he’s done nothing to have that taken away from him, so he’ll be out there with the starters.” Manziel has steadily improved, closing the gap on Hoyer in recent days as the rookie becomes more comfortable with the Browns’ playbook and offense. The former Heisman Trophy winner took his first practice snaps with the first-team offense earlier this week and he could get some playing time with Cleveland’s starters against the Lions. Manziel said the Xs and Os aren’t as jumbled in his mind as they were even a few days ago. “You just get out there with a lot less clutter,” he said. “We’re in to a couple weeks now, and it feels a lot more comfortable for me. There’s still a long ways to go for me obviously, and like I said a week ago, I felt like if I kept working on this stuff and got more and more familiar with a certain play call, a certain formation, a certain concept, then in due time I would get better at certain concepts and there’s still a lot more for me to go.” The competition between Hoyer and Manziel appears to have tightened, and Pettine said both QBs have made progress during the first two weeks of camp. “They’ve both made improvement, and I think they’re both doing a great job of playing to their skill sets,” Pettine said. “It’s obviously very different, what they bring to the table. I think Brian’s starting to feel very comfortable in the pocket.” As he works toward naming a starter for the Sept. 7 opener at Pittsburgh, Pettine said more weight will be placed on how Hoyer and Manziel do in the first two preseason games. Pettine would like to have the QB competition — and all positional battles — decided before the third exhibition. “That’s the plan,” he said. “I’ve always been a part of, and more than likely will be here, resting most of the guys in the fourth game, so that third game is critical to get that chemistry and cohesion. We’ve mixed the lineups a lot, which is good because you’re getting guys exposure. They’re in with the twos. They’re in with the ones. They’re going against the ones, going against the twos. At some point, you’ve got to settle down and develop that chemistry, that cohesion.” Hoyer got a jolt on Tuesday when his surgically repaired right knee got hit during prac- tice. Hoyer said linebacker Paul Kruger banged into his knee but that it held up fine. “It was more scary than anything else,” he said. “I kind of went down and waited for there to be some pain and there wasn’t, so it was actually kind of good to have some confidence going into Saturday knowing I’ve actually taken a hit and the brace withstood the hit and the brace felt good. “I was scared for about two seconds and realized there was no pain and got up and went on to the next play.” Hoyer hasn’t considered taking a day off to rest his knee. “I can’t afford it,” he said. “That’s what we’re here for is to play football. I really don’t think I need it. I feel fine.” At least outwardly, Hoyer isn’t showing any fear of Manziel gaining on him. The sixyear veteran remains focused on getting better, leading his teammates and earning the trust of his coaches. He’s been prepared, meticulous and unshaken despite having the popular Manziel breathing down his neck. Hoyer knows he needs to play well, but he’s not feeling any more pressure than he’s already putting on himself. “The way I look at it is I feel like I’m the starter until someone tells me otherwise and that’s how I prepare,” he said. “Even if I weren’t, I’d prepare to be prepared regardless of the situation. You never know when your name is going to get called. That’s how my whole career has been. You kind of have to approach it the same way.” NOTES: Browns Pro Bowl TE Jordan Cameron remains sidelined with a shoulder injury and will not play this weekend. … As he awaits word from the NFL on his appeal of a possible suspension, WR Josh Gordon will be mixed in with the starter and backups vs. the Lions. … S Tashaun Gipson returned to practice after being out with a sprained knee and is expected to play. Dalton, Smith in spotlight as Bengals visit Chiefs KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — As Alex Smith was walking off the practice field, a member of the Chiefs communications staff intercepted him, the two of them huddling just out of earshot of reporters. Moments later, when Smith stepped in front of the cameras, the first question he was asked was whether the new contract that Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had signed would have any impact on his own negotiations for an extension to remain in Kan- sas City beyond this season. “To be honest, I had no idea they were even talking,” Smith said. “I just found out walking off the field, just to give me a heads up because I’d probably get asked it. So other than that, I’ve got nothing for you. I don’t know anything about it.” Still, the timing of the deal was not lost on the veteran quarterback. “I’m focused out here on camp, getting better. We’ve got a game on Thursday,” Smith said. “It happens to be against those guys. But other than that, sorry.” Yes, Dalton and Smith will both be in the spotlight on Thursday night — well, for as long as they play — when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in the preseason opener of both teams. Dalton will begin proving he deserves his lavish new deal; Smith will continue proving he deserves his own. “I don’t think it’s really any added pressure,” Dalton said, “because I expect this team to play better. I Playoff Of course, they still haven’t won a postseason game, going 0-3 over that stretch. And ending that futility — the organization hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991 — may be the only thing that proves to cynics that Dalton deserves the team-friendly deal that could keep him wearing black and orange through the 2020 season. “When you come in as a rookie, it’s easy to say, ‘Yes, I’m the quarterback. Now I’m the leader of the team,’” Dalton said. “But you’re sit- Ballpark to attract fans.

The Bears set an NCAA record with 52.4 points a game last season. BELL RINGER: Blake Bell was Oklahoma’s starting quarterback for eight games last season, and ran for 24 TDs in short-yardage situations the previous two years. He is now a 6-foot-6, 260-pound senior starting tight end, his dad’s NFL position. The quarterback is sophomore Trevor Knight (348 yards, four TDs passing in Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama). STRONG MESSAGE: New Texas coach Charlie Strong has suspended three potential starters for at least the season opener, and maybe more games, while four other players have been dismissed for rules violations. The Longhorns are without a Big 12 title since 2009. EARLY NEUTRAL TESTS: Oklahoma State plays its opener Aug. 30 against defending national champ Florida State and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston in Arlington, Texas. West Virginia plays Alabama in Atlanta the same day. It’s UCLA vs. Texas in Arlington for Week 3. DECADE IN CHARGE: Mike Gundy goes into his 10th season as Oklahoma State’s head coach, and 24th in Stillwater as a player or coach. “From a personal standpoint, I couldn’t be any more proud of who we are and the direction that we’re going,” said Gundy, 77-38 as head coach, including the 2011 Big 12 title and a secondplace finish last year. K-STATE COMEBACK: Kansas State was the defending Big 12 champ last year when it opened with a loss to FCS champion North Dakota State, part of a 2-4 start. The Wildcats then won six of their last seven games, including a bowl over Michigan. Versatile standout receiver Tyler Lockett is among seven returning offensive starters. THIRD-TIME CHARM?: TCU (Mountain West) and West Virginia (Big East) were coming off consecutive conference titles when they joined the Big 12 in 2012. Both are since 11-14 overall and 6-12 in Big 12 games. TCU coach Gary Patterson made a significant change hiring two new co-coordinators for a spread offense. Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen said his players now “understand what the Big 12 is all about.” BOWL BOOST: Texas Tech was 7-0 under new coach and former QB Kliff Kingsbury before losing five in a row to the Big 12’s top five teams. “Our team learned how to handle adversity,” Kingsbury said. The Red Raiders then beat Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. WEIS WOES: Kansas has won only three Big 12 games the past five seasons, and is 4-20 overall (1-17 Big 12) under coach Charlie Weis. “We haven’t done a thing in the two years I’ve been here,” said Weis. Without revealing details, he added that his team’s expectations are clearly defined. BISON VS. BIG 12: North Dakota State won its third FCS title in a row last season and opens this year at Iowa State, which lost its 2013 opener against FCS team Northern Iowa. “All of us have such great respect for all levels of football,” Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads said. expect myself to be better. We have high expectations for what we’re trying to do this year, and so regardless of the contract, I would have expected to go into the season with the same mentality and same attitude. We want to be really successful.” The Bengals have certainly been successful since Dalton took the reins. They won nine games his first season, 10 the next and went 11-5 last season. Each year, they made the playoffs. vation coincides with a rebirth of downtown Cleveland, which got a recent boost when the Republican Party announced plans to hold its 2016 national convention in the city and NBA superstar LeBron James decided to come back and play for the Cavs. THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Euromaxx Highlights NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report (N) Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 ting in the huddle with guys that are 34 years old, and that point I was 23.

Along the way, he threw for a career-best 3,313 yards with 23 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. THURSDAY, AUGUST 7 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy! Fortune Wheel of Jeopardy!

(AP) — Terry Pegula’s bottom line has received a big bump in his bid to purchase the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Sabres owner closed on a $1.75 billion deal to sell the drilling rights on about 75,000 acres of land in Ohio and West Virginia to American Energy on Tuesday. The sale was announced by American Energy and in a release issued by PR Newswire. The agreement between Pegula’s East Resources Inc. and Oklahoma-based American Energy was first reached in June. The sale comes at a time when Pegula and wife Kim are considered the front-runners to buy the Bills, who are for sale after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. The Pegulas and New York real estate mogul Donald Trump have both been chosen to advance to the next round of the sale process by Morgan Stanley, the banking firm over- seeing the sale. Trump said he made an initial non-binding bid of $1 billion. Before the sale on Tuesday, Pegula’s net worth was last estimated by Forbes to be $3.3 billion. He made his fortune after selling off some of his company’s assets for $4.7 billion to Royal Dutch Shell in 2010. And Pegula has the ability to increase his wealth. In announcing the sale to American Energy, Pegula said he still retains what he called “sig- nificant oil and gas assets” in Colorado, Wyoming, New York, West Virginia and his native Pennsylvania. The Bills were last valued at $870 million, but are expected to sell for at least $1 billion, partly because NFL teams rarely go on the market. A Toronto-based group fronted by rocker Jon Bon Jovi has also expressed interest in buying the Bills. But it’s not clear whether the Bon Jovi group was selected to advance in the sale process. The next step is for approved groups to advance is to meet with both Morgan Stanley and members of the estate to obtain the franchise’s financial information. Once that is done in the coming weeks, groups will then be asked to submit formal bids. The bidding process is unsealed, meaning Wilson’s estate will have the ability to ask groups to increase their bids. AP SPORTS BRIEFS 2 minor league players suspended for drugs NEW YORK (AP) — A minor league pitcher for the San Francisco Giants and a minor league shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds have been suspended for drug violations.

LeBron, sons pitch in on Akron home rehab AKRON, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James and his two sons are getting their hands dirty in helping to rehab a house in the NBA star’s Akron hometown. James took the controls of a backhoe Monday to help fix up a crumbling house for the family of a sixth-grader in his Wheels for Education mentoring program. His sons — LeBron Jr. and Bryce — pitched in to help remove the front steps, a retaining wall and some porch railings under the direction of reality TV show host Nicole Curtis. Work on the house will be featured later on Curtis’ show “Rehab Addict” on the HGTV network. The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the work on the house in the West Hill neighborhood began Sunday. Businesses donated materials and labor for the project.

The King still rules NASCAR We’ve Got Money to Lend! 60526109 60423165 Man charged with urinating on Modell’s grave TOWSON, Md. (AP) — Police say charges have been filed against an Ohio man who is accused of urinating on the grave of former Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell and posting a video of it on YouTube. Baltimore County Police said Tuesday that 61-year-old Paul S. Serbu of Franklin, Ohio, has been charged on a criminal summons with disorderly conduct in a cemetery, a misdemeanor. Serbu could face up to two years in jail and a $500 fine. Modell died in 2012 at age 87. He spent 43 years as an NFL owner, overseeing the Cleveland Browns from 1961 until he moved the team to Baltimore in 1996 to become the Ravens. The move left many Browns fans bitter. Modell and his wife, Patricia, are buried at Druid Ridge Cemetery in Pikesville. A phone number for Serbu could not be found. 740-949-2210 LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Richard Petty tried resting on the green artificial turf that covered the stage used for driver introductions. It didn’t last long: At a NASCAR track, The King never goes unnoticed. “Richard! Richard! King! King!” Petty craned his neck and waved toward fans who couldn’t resist shouting at the race’s grand marshal from the threelevel structure at Pocono Raceway that rises high over the front stretch. Behind those sunglasses, a design caught Petty’s eye. Yes, fans from kids to seniors had seats in the section labeled the Richard Petty 200 Victory Circle. The words were flanked by two images of Petty in his feathered Stetson hat and dark glasses. “Well, look at that,” Petty said, eyes fixed on the sign. “I didn’t know that. That’s the first time I ever paid attention.” Petty had no idea some of the best seats in the house had long been named in his honor. But you don’t need to sit in a pricey suite to know The King. Long removed from his era as perhaps the greatest driver in NASCAR history, Petty sill serves as an ambassador, corporate pitchman and team owner in the sport he’s called home since he was a boy. Now 77, Petty shows no signs of easing off the gas as he bounds around the track, all in the name of good business and giving back to the sport that helped make him a household name. “I’m just idling along, trying to keep up with what they want me to WE’VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU Wondering how your favorite team did in the big game?

Petty is still an A-lister around the garage, a bigger star than drivers on his race team or even the rest of the field for a Sprint Cup race. Petty commanded a crowd during an appearance at a makeshift bowling alley set up inside a fan zone at Pocono by sponsor GoBowling.com. On his first roll, he knocked down three pins. “That wasn’t too good,” he said. With fans snapping pictures, Petty left no pin standing on his second attempt. “I got a spare anyway,” he said, smiling. After bowling another quick frame, it’s time for Petty to split, but not before he has to pilot his way through a clog of autograph hounds who want just one autograph, one photo, from the driver who has had to have signed and posed more than anyone in NASCAR history. “He’s got a crazy life. He can’t go nowhere,” one fan remarked. It’s a circus life Petty would never trade for weekends at home, certainly not after his fame got fresh juice when he voiced Strip “The King” Weathers in the 2006 hit movie “Cars.” Petty is warmly greeted by children in awe of the man they only know as the voice in a cartoon, not the seven-time NASCAR champion who won a record 200 races. Kids address the man in the hat as “Mr. The King.” He recalled a time in England when a boy approached and asked how many times he won the Piston Cup. The Piston Cup, of course, was the championship awarded to those frisky cars from the movie. Petty’s true home is among the drivers, crew and fans that surround him at tracks from Daytona to Dover. He skipped a month this season because of the March death of his wife, Lynda, from cancer. The Pettys were married for almost six decades. “Coming back to the racing blanked out some of the bad parts that I was having,” Petty said. “It was easier for me to get back. Instead of starting a new routine, I stayed in the same one. It’s just a little bit different.” Petty has pushed past the pain and found comfort at the track. It’s always been the spot where he could be himself and hang up his hat — in his case, a Charlie 1 cowboy hat with a tuft of feathers in the front. Petty started wearing the hats around 1979 when he struck a deal with a manufacturer who sold them at a store operated by son Kyle Petty. Richard Petty wasn’t just trying to create an iconic fashion statement; he’d just grown weary of worrying he’d offend the wrong sponsor with the standard baseball cap most drivers wear around the track.
