ATHENS — Ohio University’s Innovation Center has
accepted six digital media
startup companies into its
inaugural Innovation Engine
Accelerator Program.
One of those companies
is from Middleport. The
others are from Athens and
Columbus.
The companies will participate in a 10-week boot

camp that began last Monday.
The Middleport Company is Affine Technologies which specializes in
the creation of real-time
interactive visualizations.
Their proprietary platform
allows for quick creation
of customized data visualizations which will help
clients achieve their goals
more reliably, in less time
and at a lower cost, according to information provid-

Chad Mourning and Scott
Nyki, when applying for acceptance into the program.
The address in Middleport

RUTLAND — Despite
the heat participation in
Rutland’s
Independence
Day parade Saturday was
good and many people
turned out to watch it go by.
“Firefighters 4 Freedom”
was the theme with fire
equipment from most communities in Meigs County
and from several in Mason
County in the lineup.
Red, white and blue colors dominated the entries in
the parade which featured

everything from tractors
to three-wheelers, from political candidates to clowns,
from Christian themed
floats to flags galore, and
from ball teams to beautiful
floats. Entries in the parade
were judged and trophies
awarded in first and second
places in several categories.
Awarded trophies in their
respective categories were
as follows: best float, Rutland Pee Wee Girls and the
Cancer Society; best horse,
Shayla Hysell and 4-H Rid

follow-on funding and product launch.”
Besides Affine Technologies, the Innovation Engine
companies selected to participate are:
Flashcrop, which won
first place in the Innovation
Center’s Startup Weekend
event in April, created a mobile application designed to
make digital flash cards for
students by taking pictures
of notes, glossaries and

study guides, and then turning those images into note
cards. Their technology is
unique due to its integration of new features with
an interactive and intuitive
framework, the company
said. The Athens-based

POMEROY — While
the temperature stood in
the high nineties and there
was no evening breeze to
be found, it didn’t seem to
bother the large audience
that gathered in Pomeroy’s
riverfront amphitheater Friday night to hear the Mississippi Soul Blues Man Johnny
Rawls.
They brought their folding
chairs, their soft cushions
and their cold drinks and
settled in for the concert.

Rawls, accompanied by
the Mudford Blues Band,
kicked off the annual free
Rhythm on the River concert series sponsored by the
Pomeroy Blues and Jazz Society. Concerts will be held
at 8 p.m. every Friday night
through Aug. 10, with the
exception of July 27 when
the Big Bend Blues Bash will

happening less than a week
apart have investigators trying to solve a mystery.
The first fire was reported last Sunday, July 1 at the

privately owned by West

Exercising outside is a big problem

Dear Dr. Brothers: I am
a 43-year-old mom who is
very out of shape, but I am
determined to start exercising. Lots of people are
out in my neighborhood
running and jogging, and I
know I would look like an
idiot if I tried to make it
down the street. I refuse to
pay for a gym or equipment,
but I just can’t make myself
go out there. I am sitting
here crying because I look
dumpy. Is there some way
to get up my nerve and not
be so self-conscious? I feel
like such a loser. — B.T.
Dear B.T.: I know it is
scary to take the very first
step, but you sound very
motivated, and I think you
are just overwhelmed by
fear right now. You even
might be depressed, and

his or her parents as aging
and becoming less active or
capable than in the past; it
will be just as painful for her
as it is for you. I hope you
will not be too discouraged
to participate in your granddaughter’s life in other ways
that are more suited to your
abilities as the years go by.
The important thing is that
you be there for her as a loving grandmother whenever
you can be.
The care of your granddaughter is really your
daughter’s
responsibility, and she will have to
come up with some other
options. Maybe you could
help out once a week instead, or for a couple
of hours a few times a
week. Perhaps you can
help her financially or
in researching day care
or other options. You really shouldn’t feel that
you are responsible for
solving this problem on
your own. Because you
are feeling so guilty, you
might be overlooking the
fact that your daughter
probably has a Plan B
in mind in case this one
doesn’t work out. You are
a good grandma.

Record lottery sales boost money for Ohio schools
DAYTON, Ohio (AP)
— A year of record-high
sales for the Ohio Lottery
means its highest payout
yet for public schools:
$771 million.
The lottery topped $2.7
billion in sales for the fiscal year that ended June
30, up from $2.6 billion
the previous year. Lottery sales in Ohio have
increased for the past
11 years, with the previous record profit transfer
of $748.8 million set in
1997, according to the
lottery.
By law, lottery profits are given to the Ohio
Department of Education
to support schools. The
funding amounts to about
6 percent of the department’s general revenue
budget of $7.6 million but
could be more significant
amid cost-cutting and declining revenues in many
districts, the local newspaper reported.
“Every dollar counts, so
any money is important
money to the department,
especially this year,” said
Department of Education

spokeswoman Patti Grey.
Preliminary unaudited
figures show sales were
up by $133 million from
the previous fiscal year,
not including video lottery terminal sales.
The sales for last fiscal year were helped by
a record $656 million
Mega Millions jackpot in
March.
“That pretty much
boosted sales across the
board in the lottery industry in the United States,”
said Marie Kilbane, a
spokeswoman for the
Ohio Lottery.
Sales of Powerball tickets, another multistate
game introduced in Ohio
in April 2010, also helped
increase overall sales.
Powerball sales were up
38 percent to $105 million in the last fiscal year.
“When you have more
states getting involved
you have the possibility
of growing the jackpots
much higher,” Kilbane
said.
Interest in some of the
oldest games, including
Pick 3 and Pick 4, has

begun to decline some.
Sales of the oldest online
game, Pick 3, fell 2 percent to $357 million in
the last fiscal year, while
Pick 4 sales dropped
about 1 percent. But the
two games combined still
accounted for 21 percent
of total lottery sales.
The opening of Ohio’s
four new casinos also
could decrease sales.
Casinos opened in May
in Cleveland and To-

ledo. The third one is
set to open in Columbus
this fall, with the fourth
scheduled to open early
next year in Cincinnati.
“We do anticipate a
small impact, especially
in the counties where
there is a casino,” Kilbane
said.
Potentially there could
be a sales decrease of 4.5
percent to 6.5 percent,
but those are just estimates, Kilbane said.

To Be or Not To Be For Obama, a transcendent
By Peter G. Cohen
It is time to tell the
truth about nuclear weapons. They are not a deterrent to terrorists, whom
security experts regard
as the greatest danger to
our nation. They do not
deter attacks from other
nations, because very few
want to attack us, and
our overwhelming conventional forces are more
than enough for our defense.
What nuclear weapons
actually do is cost us a
great deal of money. Just
to maintain the warheads
will cost us $7.6 billion
next year and $2.5 billion
more to prevent proliferation. As we trim our federal budget other urgently
needed programs will be
cut, while nuclear weapons funds are defended in
the name of National Security and for the benefit
of senators and representatives who have facilities
in their districts. Some
Congress people hope to
spend at least $100 billion in the next decade on
“modernizing” the planes,
missiles and submarines
that are ready to deliver
the warheads to an unidentified “enemy.”
Nuclear weapons are
completely
indiscriminate. They incinerate
adults, children and pets
in the target area without regard for innocence
or guilt. The radioactive
fallout drifts for miles on
the shifting winds and
all scientific studies done
since Chernobyl and now
Fukushima acknowledge
that, even though mortality figures differ.
Even the Pentagon acknowledges that a relatively “limited” nuclear
war would create so much
radioactive soot that it

would drift around the
earth for years, blocking the sun and reducing
crop yields, thus causing
widespread famine. At the
same time, the great heat
of a nuclear fireball and
the following firestorm
carries radioactive materials into the stratosphere,
where they fatally weaken
the ozone layer, causing
blindness, skin cancer,
and damaged immune
systems. It would also destroy aquatic ecosystems,
resulting in reduced ocean
productivity for years.
For those who are
concerned that a nation
might try to cheat a Nuclear Weapons Convention, a world system of
sensors is now in place.
While it is almost impossible to produce a nuclear
weapon without testing,
this worldwide system
will make any nuclear
weapons test immediately
known to all.
The generals and admirals, the senators and representatives, the nuclear
laboratories and plants,
believe that they are defending America. Their
experts can calculate the
kilotons and megatons of
explosive power in each
of the weapons systems.
But they do not represent
the human future, or the
millions who would disappear instantly in the fireball or slowly succumb to
radiation disease. It is up
to people of conscience to
make their voices heard.
It is up to mothers and
grandmothers to say that
it is intolerable and criminal that more than 20
years after the end of the
Cold War, Russia and the
United States still have
more than 3,300 warheads
targeted on each other
and thousands more that
can quickly be brought

To Be or Not to Be
If we love money more
than life, as some supporters of “modernizing” our
nuclear weapons and facilities seem to do, then we
must accept the idea that
we, or our children and
grandchildren, sooner or
later, will be incinerated
in a flash, poisoned by radioactive fallout, or sick
and starved in misery by
a nuclear winter.
As long as we persist in
having these weapons, we
are investing in a worldwide holocaust that will
incinerate, sterilize and
starve distant people who
have nothing to do with
the nations involved in
the war, accident, or act
of nature that detonates
these weapons.
The Creator has given
us this beautiful, abundant planet and the miracle of human life. Human
cleverness has provided
us with the tools of worldwide suicide. Can we admit that we have gone too
far? That human, mechanical or natural failures
can plunge us into the
final fire? That the only
recourse is to overcome
our fears, our dream of
domination, and our attachment to the profits
of death? Only then can
the United States take the
lead in freeing the world
of these suicidal weapons. A superpower of the
future would demonstrate
super humility and get the
job done.

win still not assured
Ben Feller

AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Presidents live in a world
of wins and losses quickly
forgotten. Rarely are they
presented with the kind of
defining moment that President Barack Obama experienced when the Supreme
Court upheld his health care
law.
It’s one that will transcend
his presidency, change
America’s social safety net
and shape how he is likely
to be remembered.
Then there’s the catch.
If Obama does not win a
second term in November,
he risks losing both the law
and the core of his legacy.
Republican Mitt Romney
will try to gut the law and
impose something else. All
the rest of what Obama accomplishes will fall under
the dimmer view of history
assigned to one-term presidents.
Immediate attention isn’t
on the lasting consequences. Right now, the campaign retains its focus and
remains a biting contest between two men with vastly
different visions about how
to fix the economy.
Obama’s re-election message is not expected to
differ because of the ruling. But his presidency has
changed.
Where others failed, he
succeeded, pushing through
a plan to get basic health
coverage to millions of uninsured people in the richest
nation on earth.
“Obamacare,” as critics
derisively call it and supporters adoringly do, is his
Medicare, his Social Security.
The high court ensured
that the law would crown
Obama’s legacy. He did it
with no Republican help
in Congress, with half the
country against him, with
a Supreme Court led by a
conservative chief justice
who produced the surprising, deciding vote to rescue
his law.
“If he wins re-election,
he’s got one huge marker
down that he can build

Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the

upon,” said Bill Daley,
Obama’s former chief of
staff.
Daley said if Obama
achieves a long-term debt
deal on immigration or brokers an energy plan as well,
and avoids major mess-ups
for eight years, “then that
has the potential to be a
very significant presidency.”
Douglas Brinkley of Rice
University, among the presidential historians who have
met with Obama for dinners, said Obama wants to
be remembered on the scale
of Theodore Roosevelt,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Lyndon Johnson.
Now, Brinkley said,
Obama is poised to go
down as one of the leading
progressive presidents for
delivering on a health care
promise that has eluded so
many, for so long.
“It’s a bit of confounding
presidency,” Brinkley said.
“It always seems like Obama
is about to flip off the rails.
And then lo and behold, he’s
back on top again.”
And if he loses to Romney? “It all changes,”
Brinkley said. “One-term
presidents have a hard time
building tremendous legacies.”
The law is built around
a mandate that people who
can afford to buy health insurance must do so to help
rein in the costs of coverage for everyone. Overall,
the legislation is unpopular
with the public, although individual parts of it are not.
Romney calls it an act of
government intrusion and
says he will ask Congress
to repeal the law. Obama’s
triumph at the Supreme
Court, therefore, seemed
less about legislative permanency and more about electoral urgency.
Within hours, a fundraising appeal under Obama’s
name warned donors of
Romney’s undo-it plans and
said, “We can’t allow that to
happen. We have to win this
election.”
Just don’t expect Obama’s
fundamental pitch to voters
to turn much at all, White
House and campaign officials said.

To the degree that the
health care law becomes a
more prominent part of his
campaign, it will still be in
the framework that Obama
has settled upon, his vision
of economic revival and opportunity and fair taxation.
He wins by persuading
people about the potential
jobs ahead, not the health
care fight behind him.
Campaign officials say
they do see some fresh opportunity to change perceptions about the law and
draw contrasts with Romney. They will do that by focusing on popular elements
that could disappear, such
as the promise of insurance
for people with medical conditions.
In his majority opinion,
Roberts made clear he was
not offering a policy endorsement of what Obama
and his Democratic allies
had done.
“Those decisions are
entrusted to our nation’s
elected leaders, who can be
thrown out of office if the
people disagree with them,”
the chief justice said. “It
is not our job to protect
the people from the consequences of their political
choices.”
Obama is that guy trying not to get thrown out
of office. He had an eye on
the legacy of the law within
hours of knowing it was
saved.
“I’m as confident as ever
that when we look back five
years from now, or 10 years
from now, or 20 years from
now, we’ll be better off, because we had the courage to
pass this law and keep moving forward,” he said.
Implied in there was his
message to voters to keep
moving forward with him.
“The court victory is a
huge step towards making
affordable health care a reality to everyone in the country,” said Robert Gibbs, a
senior advisor to Obama’s
campaign. “We have another big hurdle left. It’s called
the election.”

sometime later this month.
Since the amphitheater
was nearly full for the con-

this bunker was also filled
with propellants and ammunition. This explosion
caused shrapnel and other

other explosion, this time
in a tractor trailer owned by
King which was parked at
his home along Ohio River
Rd. north of Point Pleasant,
near Kirkland Memorial
Gardens.
Again, the trailer contained propellants and ammunition and firefighters
from not only Point Pleasant, but also from Mason
and New Haven had to
fight the fire from a safe
distance due to projectiles
being shot out of the trailer.
This explosion also caused
secondary brush fires near

King’s home though Bryant
said it didn’t seem to damage the house except for minor damage to shingles on
the roof.
Bryant said there was
no electricity going to the
structures which caught
fire, so at this point investigators are trying to determine if the fires were intentionally set or heat-related.
Investigators with the W.Va.
State Fire Marshal’s Office
are also investigating this
weekend’s explosions which
remain under investigation.
Bryant said King was not

home or in the area when
the fires started. King and
West Virginia Ordinance
also owned a bunker in the
TNT area that exploded in
2010. That explosion was
determined to be caused by
a deterioration of the ammunition and the excessive
heat. Of course excessive
heat was a major factor this
past weekend and the prior
weekend when the first fire
was reported.
There have been no injuries reported from the fires,
Bryant said.

Ted Potter Jr. wins Greenbrier Classic in playoff
WHITE
SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) —
In the span of a few days
in West Virginia, Ted Potter Jr.’s summer went from
missed cuts to memorable.
Coming off five straight
tournaments in which he
failed to advance to weekend play, the PGA Tour
rookie won the Greenbrier
Classic in a three-hole playoff over Troy Kelly on Sunday.
And now Potter can start

planning.
There’s a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
A trip to this month’s British Open and next year’s
Masters. And likely plans
for the tour playoffs after he
went from 173rd to 51st on
the FedEx Cup list.
“Just (an) amazing feeling right now,” Potter said.
“Just knowing I’ve got a
couple more years out here
to have full exemption, to
be able to play what I want

to play in and be able to
schedule my own tournaments and where I want to
play. Stuff like that’s going
to be nice. So looking forward to that.”
On a weekend when Tiger
Woods and Phil Mickelson
missed the cut, the 28-yearold Potter stood out in the
end with some well-timed
play down the stretch.
Ranked 218th in the
world, Potter overcame a
four-stroke deficit with four

holes to play, finishing with
his second straight 6-under
64 to match Kelly at 16 under. Kelly closed with a 66.
After both players made
pars on the first two playoff
holes, Potter sank a 4-footer
for birdie on the par-3 18th
to pick up the $1,098,000
winner’s check.
Playing in the Masters,
which Potter had listed as
a career goal, and the other
perks are a nice bonus.
But not the best part.

“Just winning,” Potter
said. “I just like to win.
“It was just a big relief.
All the struggles the last
few weeks, knowing that
now I’ve got a couple years
to try to improve on my
game and win some more
tournaments.
The left-hander became
the sixth first-time winner
on the tour this season.
Potter first joined the
former Nationwide Tour in
2004 and didn’t have much

success until last year, when
he finished second on the
money list to advance to the
PGA Tour.
“When you’re missing
cuts every week, you get
down on yourself,” Potter
said. “I mean, it’s hard to
pick yourself back up. But
the plus side for me is I was
still young. I just knew I
had plenty of time and just
be patient and it will come
back around again.”

Federer a Grand
Slam champion
again at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England
(AP) — Up in the players’
box on Centre Court, Roger
Federer’s twin daughters
squirmed, yawned, made
funny faces and then applauded the new Wimbledon champion.
The girls turn 3 this
month. They were 6 months
old the last time Federer
won a Grand Slam title.
“The victory today is a
dream come true for me and
my family, you know, seeing
them there,” he said. “It’s
big.”
At 30, Federer showed
the kids what he can do, and
strengthened his contention
he’s far from finished. Federer ended a Grand Slam
drought and equaled a
Wimbledon record by win-

ning the tournament for the
seventh time Sunday, beating Andy Murray of Britain,
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.
For months Federer
had been widely viewed
as a champion in decline,
eclipsed by Rafael Nadal
and Novak Djokovic. Now
he has won a 17th major
title, padding his record,
and he’s back atop the ATP
rankings for the first time
since June 2010, matching
Pete Sampras’ record of 286
weeks at No. 1.
In less than three weeks,
Federer will be back at Wimbledon trying to win his first
Olympic singles gold medal.
He’ll be tough to beat in a
setting where he plays his
best tennis.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — LeBron
James, Kobe Bryant and three other
Olympic gold medalists were already
back.
Add a defensive stopper, a potent
scorer off the bench, and one of the
NBA’s most explosive athletes, and
the U.S. is certain it has a powerful
Olympic basketball team.
Better even than the one that won
gold four years ago.
“We feel like we’re definitely a great
team. We have all the pieces that we
need,” forward Carmelo Anthony
said. “We’ve got to put it together, but
we feel like we’re the best team out
there.”
The Americans rounded out their
roster Saturday, adding Blake Griffin,
Andre Iguodala and James Harden to
the nine players who already seemed

secure long before training camp began.
They earned the final three spots
that opened after a rash of injuries
knocked out at least four players who
would have been on the team. They
beat out Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay and
No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of
New Orleans, who couldn’t scrimmage this week because of a sprained
ankle.
Also heading to London for the
defending gold medalists are: Chris
Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant,
Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler
and Kevin Love.
The Americans never had a close
game four years ago until the championship game, when they pulled away
in the final two minutes to beat Spain
118-107. Even with Dwight Howard,

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh unable
to return from that team, the Americans think this one can be even stronger.
“When I think about ‘08, we were
really good then. But like me, LeBron
and D-Will, all of us talk about, you’ve
got to think about how much better all
of us are now than we were in ‘08,”
Paul said. “All of us as players, we
shoot the ball better. Guys are more
athletic, guys are more confident. One
through 12, no question we’re deeper
than we were in ‘08.”
USA Basketball Jerry Colangelo
acknowledged the adversity the team
faced with all the injuries in his remarks before the players were introduced during a press conference, all
wearing their white USA jerseys —

Wahama Hall of Fame
Meeting
MASON, W.Va. — The
Wahama High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee will be conducting a
business meeting on Tuesday, July 10, at 6 p.m. at the

for the 2012 edition of the
Hall of Fame inductees will
be the main order of business. All Board of Trustee
members are urged to attend as well as anyone wishing to take part in the selection process.

WORTHINGTON, Ohio
(AP) — A battle has been
waged for years at the Ohio
Amateur golf championship
between wizened veterans
and fearless college kids.
Now a third contingent
has been added: High
school kids who aren’t awed
by competing for a trophy
that bears the names Arnold
Palmer, John Cook and Ben
Curtis.
When the 106th Ohio
Amateur tees off on Tuesday at Brookside Golf and
Country Club, the 144-player field will include a blend
of former pros who have
regained their amateur status, college kids with bright
futures — and teenagers
out to upset and aggravate
everyone else.
“It’s a little of the Tiger effect,” said Jim Popa, executive director of the sponsoring Ohio Golf Association.
“Kids start younger. They’re
fitted for clubs and then
they’re playing tournamenttype golf in middle school.
They’re far more advanced
(in terms of golf) than kids
were 25 years ago.”
This year’s starting grid
includes an astounding 34
teenagers.

Leading the youngest
group is 2010 Ohio Am winner Michael Bernard, who
has signed to attend nearby
Ohio State this fall. At 16,
before entering his senior
year at Wayne High School
in Huber Heights, he lapped
the field by five strokes at
Kirtland Country Club to
become the youngest winner in tournament history.
A year ago, he led on
top heading into the final
round at NCR Country Club
in Kettering before being
overcome by Korey Ward
of West Chester, who was
just out of high school and
had yet to attend a class at
Xavier.
Now Bernard and Ward
are both back for seconds
in a field that includes five
other past champions, each
at least 35 years old: twotime winner Robert Gerwin
II (1996, 2001), Alan Fadel
(‘95), Andrew Montooth
(‘97), Peter Hammar (‘87)
and Stephen Anderson
(‘90). Most of the recent
winners, all college age,
have moved on to try their
luck as pros, including occasional PGA Tour competitors Jason Kokrak, Kyle
Reifers and Chris Wilson.

Ward, by the way, is what
stands for a wily veteran to
the youngsters now. He’s all
of 20.
The last time the tournament was held at the course
in 2000, Curtis won his second consecutive Ohio Am
— by a record 17 shots. Almost three years to the day
later, he stunned the golf
world — he’d never finished
in the top 10 of an event as
a pro — by coming from
off the pace to capture the
British Open at Royal St.
George’s.
At the 2008 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills,
a reporter asked a contending Curtis if he really
won by that gaping margin
at Brookside. Curtis, who
finished 16 under with his
closest pursuer at 1 over,
just nodded his head and
laughed.
Where once former pros
such as Gerwin and Fadel
would warily keep an eye on
the top college players, now
they’ll also be competing
with kids young enough to
be their own offspring.
Two players actually will
be taking on their sons in
the medal-play event, which
concludes Friday after cuts

through 36 and 54 holes.
Jeff and Nathan Kerns of
Ironton and Ken and Michael Kinkopf of Dublin
comprise the father-and-son
entries.
Palmer captured the
Ohio Amateur in 1953 and
‘54, while in the U.S. Coast
Guard and in between stints
at Wake Forest. Cook, currently on the Champions
Tour, won it in ‘78 and ‘79.
A record 500 players tried
to qualify for this year’s
tournament. Popa credited
the location and the layout.
“It doesn’t hurt we’re
centrally located,” he said
of the course in suburban
Columbus. “Plus, Brookside
has a good reputation for
a lot of players, many who
look back at the Ben Curtis
era and want to see what
that’s all about.”
It should be noted that
the youngest entrant in the
field this year, Upper Arlington’s Justin Wick, was 4
years old when Curtis won
there.
Locally, Mike Haynes of
Gallipolis will be competing. Haynes is scheduled to
tee-off at 1:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Slam
From Page 6
“I feel better here for
some reason,” he said. “I
don’t know why, but it’s
very unique and special in
many ways.”
He matched the record
of seven Wimbledon titles
set in the 1880s by William
Renshaw and tied in 2000
by Federer’s hero, Sampras. And while he ended
his own 2-year Grand Slam
dry spell, he extended decades of frustration for the
British, who haven’t had a

homegrown men’s champion since 1936.
Murray, a Scotsman, was
the first Brit to make the
men’s final since 1938. In
anticipation of the match,
fans camped out overnight
in the rain just for a grounds
pass so they could watch on
a large video screen near
the practice courts.
The Royal Box audience
included British Prime
Minister David Cameron,
soccer star David Beckman
and Prince William’s wife,

the former Kate Middleton.
Murray tried to give them a
good show, taking an early
lead and then losing a close
second set when he was
broken in the final game.
The match began in sunshine, but rain interrupted
play early in the third set,
and the retractable roof was
closed for a singles final for
the first time since it was
added in 2009.
And while Federer is
good on grass, it turns
out he’s especially good

indoors on grass.
“When the roof closed, he
played unbelievable tennis,”
Murray said.
Federer agreed.
“I played terrific,” he
said.
Coming into the match,
Federer had won 20 of his
74 titles indoors. With
wind eliminated as a factor, he can swing even more
aggressively and hit his
pinpoint serves with even
more accuracy.
That’s what happened. A

26-point, 20-minute game
in the third set proved
pivotal and provided the
match’s most memorable
moments. Murray fell to the
grass three times during
the game, but also saved
five break points before he
was finally broken to give
Federer a 4-2 lead.
Federer held every service game the rest of the
way. With the win, he became the first thirtysomething man to win Wimbledon since Arthur Ashe in

1975, and he reclaimed the
No. 1 ranking from Djokovic.
Federer lost in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon
in 2010 and 2011, then
blew a two-set lead against
Djokovic in the U.S. Open
semifinals last year, when
he squandered two match
points.
There was speculation
that parenthood had cost
him his edge, and that his
best days were behind him.

Bosh to injuries in recent
months, forcing them to
scrap plans to name their 12man roster on June 18. They
asked the US Olympic Committee for a roster extension
and added Harden and Davis to their original pool of
finalists chosen in January.
Harden seemed a long
shot, joining Griffin as the
only player who didn’t play
on either of the last two U.S.
teams. But the Americans
felt they needed someone
comfortable with coming off
the bench more than they
did Gay, who was behind too
many other forwards on the
depth chart, and the result
was three players from the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
“Great characters, workaholics, just humble guys,
humble guys and blessed to
be in this position,” Harden
said of himself, Durant and
Westbrook. (Guys) who
work hard and just set our-

selves up for greatness and
to achieve, and just to be on
the same team with these
guys means a lot.”
Colangelo was intrigued
by Davis’ skills, but the national player of the year at
Kentucky sprained his ankle
last week and was not able to
take part this week, robbing
him of a chance to show he
was ready to handle international competition now.
Iguodala was frequently
assigned the role of shutting
down the opponent’s best
player two years ago in the
world basketball championship, and he previously had
scrimmaged against the
U.S. on the select team of
young players, so Colangelo
and coach Mike Krzyzewski
knew what he could do.
“I think they’ve just seen
that I can pretty much play
alongside pretty much anybody and still make an impact on the game. I don’t

necessarily have to have
the ball to make an impact
on either end,” the 76ers
swingman and first-time AllStar said. “I’ve been playing
with Kevin Durant, LeBron
James, Carmelo Anthony,
pure scorers, and when I get
in, it won’t be a problem for
me to fit in with those guys.
I’ll jell right along with them
right away.”
James, Bryant, Anthony,
Paul and Williams were all
part of the 2008 Olympic
gold medalists. Durant,
Westbrook, Chandler and
Love also played on the
world championship team
two years ago.
Colangelo said he believed
this team was deeper and
better than the ‘08 squad,
but added that “only time
will tell.”
The injuries leave the
Americans short-handed at
center, where Howard started four years ago in Beijing

and Bosh backed him up.
Chandler is the only natural
center left, so the Americans
will be forced to use some
players out of their normal
NBA positions.
But what remains is still
the most athletic team in the
world, with potent scorers
at nearly every spot, and the
Americans will look to overcome any size disadvantage
by punishing teams in transition. Griffin said expects
to be strictly at the center
spot.
The Americans opened
training camp Friday and
will practice here through
next Wednesday, then play
an exhibition game against
the Dominican Republic on
Thursday.
The players who were not
selected will be alternates
who could be replacements
in case of further injuries
up until 48 hours before the
July 27 start of the Olym-

pics. Davis will stick around
just in case, playing on the
select team.
James and Anthony will
be playing in their third
Olympics for a U.S. team
with an average age is 26.1
years. The young guys,
combined with the veteran
returnees, could make for a
golden mixture.
“I think we have guys on
the team that’s definitely
hungry at this point, especially young guys that
want to go out and prove
themselves,” Anthony said.
“They’ve been showing that
over the last couple of days
in practice. What we put together in ‘08, we will never
duplicate that again. But
this is a new team, this is a
new situation and this team
wants to form their own
identity.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
July 10, 2012:
This year, just when you think you
are on cruise control, the unexpected
hits. Until you understand and see
the end results, this pattern could be
disturbing. What occurs will point to
what is frivolous in your life. If you are
single, relationships formed this year
will not be stable for at least a year.
Time together is the real indicator of a
couple’s longevity. If you are attached,
you could feel waves of excitement
but might not always love the form
they take. Your bond will be far more
dynamic in the long run. Be aware
that this process will be challenging at
times. ARIES is high voltage.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH The unexpected occurs,
but others respond in a caring, distinct
manner and want to be included. You
might feel tense as a result of this
surprise, a family member and/or a
domestic matter. Brainstorm away, and
you’ll find a solution. Tonight: Beam in
what you want.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH You look at a situation much
differently than others do. You gain
sudden insight and, as a result, can
move forward with a personal matter
very quickly. Keep conversations flowing, but if you need to, do take some
personal time. Tonight: Take a night off
just for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You could be taken aback
by someone you care a lot about. You
will discover just how unpredictable
this person might be. Show your caring through words, but also through
your actions if you want to be trusted.
Tonight: At a game, or anywhere
people are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You could be stunned by
someone’s ideas. You clearly care
about this person, but you might not
agree with his or her style. Do not let
an innate difference create tension
between you. Tonight: Throw yourself
in the whirlwind of living.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH Look at the big picture.
You might feel much better and more
empowered after you express the bottom line. You could feel as if someone
is toying with you before this moment.
After making your statement, you
couldn’t care less. Tonight: Follow the
music.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHH You might want to rethink
someone’s comments. You could be
oversensitive and take something
the wrong way. In fact, you might be
creating your own tension and stress.
A partner acts in a most unexpected
manner. Tonight: Find your favorite
person.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Others seem to be “hunting”
you down. Enjoy the popularity, and do
not make a big deal out of changing
your plans. Listen with care to a loved
one’s feedback; you could be quite
delighted. A respected person, boss,
parent or elder makes demands that
you might choose to ignore. Tonight:
Out with your pals.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Others appear to be flaky,
and no matter what stage of life you
currently are in, you are left holding
the bag. Detach from not-so-friendly
feelings seasoned with resentment,
and get done what you must. Tonight:
Could go late.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Your sense of humor
helps loosen others up, and you create a smile wherever you are. Be
open about your feelings — you will
appreciate the response you receive.
Differentiate between a long-term relationship and just fun flirting. Tonight:
Be careful not to start a problem with a
loved one.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You cannot get away from
a domestic concern, at least until it
has been appropriately handled. You
know when enough is enough and set
boundaries as a result. A close loved
one or associate seems to be in a very
different frame of mind. Tonight: Head
on home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Keep a conversation moving. If you or the other person overthinks, you could become far more
closed off. There is a lot to be gained
if you let yourself be vulnerable. Be
careful about mixing business and
pleasure, as you could cause yourself
a problem. Tonight: Out to a favorite
place.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Be aware of your spending
and allow greater emotional sharing to
occur. You can give in ways that are
more meaningful if you stop and think
about it. Let your creativity emerge,
and allow greater give-and-take.
Tonight: Keep to your budget!

Tony Stewart makes late move to win at Daytona
etly rode around — which
is his style at restrictorplate races — and let Roush
Fenway Racing teammates
Kenseth and Greg Biffle
control the front.
“We were going to try to
win the thing and be there
at the end,” Biffle said. “We
were right there.”
The
Roush
drivers
thought they had the field
covered — Kenseth led a
race-high 89 laps and Biffle
led 35 — and they probably
still liked their chances on
the final green-white-checkered restart. Kenseth was
the leader with Biffle on
his bumper, as second-place
Stewart was lined up with
Kasey Kahne.
Kenseth and Biffle pulled
away for a lap, but Stewart
came quick on the outside,
moved to the front, then
crossed down the track in
front of Kenseth for the
lead. Seconds later, Biffle
seemed to wiggle in traffic
and cars began wrecking all
over the track in what was
tallied to be a 15-car accident.
“I’m not really sure what
happened, they just started
wrecking behind us,” said
Kenseth, who started from
the pole in his bid to become the first driver since
1982 to sweep the two
Daytona races in the same
season.
“It seems like we always
end these things in greenwhite-checkers, and when-

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — There was no fire
or rain. Still, another frantic
finish at Daytona International Speedway.
Tony Stewart emerged
the winner, charging past
Daytona 500 winner Matt
Kenseth on the last lap
and holding on as the challengers stacked up behind
him Saturday night in one
of Daytona’s trademark
wrecks.
“I don’t even remember
what happened that last
lap,” Stewart said.
Stewart has 18 victories
at Daytona, second only to
the late Dale Earnhardt’s 34
wins.
None of Stewart’s wins
are in the Daytona 500,
though. Stewart is 0 for 14
in NASCAR’s biggest race
of the year and was a nonfactor in February, when
the race was delayed a day
by rain and then stopped
more than two hours for a
massive jet dryer fire.
“I wish I could trade a
couple of these races in for
just one Sunday race in February,” he said of the Daytona 500.
But he’s always strong
in the summer race at Daytona, and this visit was no
different.
Stewart qualified second
but dropped back to 42nd at
the start of the race because
his time was thrown out by
NASCAR after his Chevrolet failed inspection. He qui-

ever you do, really anybody
that’s in the front few tandems has a shot to win the
thing. It’s so unpredictable.
You do things those last two
laps that you’d never do the
rest of the race. It’s really
hard to figure. You sit out
there and ride around and
be leading the whole race
and come down to one of
the green-white-checkers
and have no idea where
you’re going to finish.”
The final results showed
Jeff Burton came from nowhere to finish second in
a Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, followed by
Kenseth in a Ford and Joey
Logano in a Toyota.
Stewart teammate Ryan
Newman, who was involved
in a pit road incident with
Kahne and Jeff Gordon,
finished fifth. Roush driver
Carl Edwards was sixth and
was followed by Kahne,
Brad Keselowski in a Dodge
and Michael Waltrip. Bobby
Labonte rounded out the
top 10.
Denny Hamlin, who battled a bad back all weekend,
raced for the win late but
was involved in an accident
that dropped him to 25th.
“I could have done without it, that’s for sure,” said
Hamlin, who added none
of the on-track contact was
too rough. “I’ll be 100 percent by next weekend, for
sure.”
Biffle, who was in third
on the final restart, dropped
all the way to 21st and said
the accident started when
Dale Earnhardt Jr. gave
Kevin Harvick a big push,
and Biffle turned in front of
Harvick.
“He got a hell of a shove
off the front of Junior … I’m
like, ‘It’s impossible that
somebody could get into
that hole that quick,’” Biffle
said. “But he got squirted
off the bumper of (Earnhardt) and shot in there. It
was my fault.”
Roughly 90 minutes be-

fore the race, NASCAR announced AJ Allmendinger
had been suspended for failing a random drug test taken last week at Kentucky.
Penske Racing rushed Sam
Hornish Jr. in from North
Carolina, where he was in
the middle of a live television show, to drive Allmendinger’s car. Hornish
arrived just minutes before
it was time to climb in the
car.
“All the way up until the
plane took off we didn’t
know if we were going to
make the race in time,”
Hornish said. “I said that
I would tell the pilot to fly
faster, but I’m pretty sure
that he was going to have
the throttle pinned the
whole way down.”

Hornish said he grabbed
a sandwich and tried to hydrate as much as I could. I
think I drank 18 bottles of
water knowing how hot it
was down here.”
He was doing an admirable job until a tire problem
caused him to spin, bringing out the first caution
just past the halfway point.
Hornish finished 33rd, and
Penske officials said they’ll
meet this week with Allmendinger to get a better
understanding of the situation.
“We just cut down a tire
and it came apart and tore
the car all up,” Hornish
said. “I’m disappointed for
the guys.”
Stewart,
meanwhile,
picked up his third win of

the season, which ties him
for the most in the Sprint
Cup Series with Keselowski. The defending series
champion has won this race
at Daytona four times in his
career, all within the last
eight years.
The victory made the
three-time champion feel
much better his chances
to defend his title because
Stewart feels he has enough
wins to ensure a spot in the
Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship.
“It’s not a guarantee, but
it’s nice to know we’ve got
those three wins,” he said.
“I would think (the Chase)
would be a virtual lock that
we have those wins. Hopefully, we won’t have to use
them.”

Reds enter break with three-game win streak
SAN DIEGO (AP) —
This is exactly the way the
Cincinnati Reds wanted to
play.
After struggling for much
of their longest road trip of
the season, the Reds erupted to win the final three
games of the swing heading
into the All-Star break.
All-Star Jay Bruce and
Ryan Ludwick hit consecutive home runs, leading
Johnny Cueto and the Reds
past the San Diego Padres
4-2 Sunday.
The win put the Reds one
game behind Pittsburgh for
the NL Central lead.
“We needed it big time,”

Reds manager Dusty Baker
said. “We needed it to keep
up to where we were.”
The Reds took over the
division lead in late May.
But when they dropped four
of seven to start this 11game road trip, Pittsburgh
took over first place. The
Pirates won six of seven going into the break.
Bruce and Ludwick connected two pitches apart
in the fourth inning to give
Cincinnati a 3-0 lead.
The Reds hit seven home
runs in winning the final
three of the four-game series. Cincinnati finished 6-5
on its trip.

“We really needed these
games after the LA series
where we lost two of three,”
Ludwick said.
Said Baker: “Everybody
has been running on fumes.
I asked them to play through
the break.”
Ludwick played for San
Diego for about one full season from the time he was
traded by St. Louis during
the 2010 season until the
Padres dealt him to Pittsburgh at the trading deadline last year.
He had little success hitting at pitcher-friendly Petco Park.

final two holes.
Both made par on the
first two playoff holes, with
Potter missing a 5-footer
at No. 17 that would have
won it on the second extra
hole. Moments before, Kelly
made a 22-footer for par after finding trouble from the
greenside bunker.
Playing the par-3 18th for
the third time on the day,
Kelly’s tee shot was short of
a steep ridge in the middle
of the green, while Potter
sent his 9-iron onto the top
of the ridge and it trickled
close to the pin.
Kelly missed his 45-foot
birdie putt, then watched
Potter close out the win as
thunderstorms moved in.
Despite the disappointment, Kelly earned his best
career finish. His previous
best was a tie for 37th.
“I had a lot of fun,” Kelly
said. “And looking forward
to kind of getting in that position some more.”
Kelly underwent hip-replacement surgery in September 2010 after being diagnosed with arthritis. He
resumed playing golf five
months later and was 11th

in Nationwide winnings last
year.
Charlie Wi and rookie
Charlie Beljan tied for third
at 14 under. Wi shot a 65,
and Beljan had a 67.
Daniel Summerhays finished fifth at 13 under after
a 64. Martin Flores (67)
was another stroke back.
Simpson, the third-round
leader, had gone 50 consecutive holes without a bogey
but made three of them in
a row starting at the par-5
12th.
“I felt really confident
and then just got on a bad
run there,” Simpson said.
“I’m probably going to learn
something from it. Have to
learn the hard way.”
Simpson can now focus
on family. He’s skipping the
British Open because his
wife, Dowd, is due to give
birth to the couple’s second
child within three weeks.
Joining Simpson at 11
under were Robert Castro
(63), Kevin Na (65), Sean
O’Hair (66) and Ken Duke
(70). Duke was within a
shot of the lead on the 14th
hole before fading with a
pair of double bogeys.

Ted
From Page 6
It did Sunday, and now
Potter, along with Kelly
and Marc Leishman — who
won two weeks ago at the
Travelers Championship —
can pack their bags for the
British Open, which starts
July 19 at Royal Lytham and
St. Annes.
It marked the third
straight year of close finishes on the Old White TPC
course. Scott Stallings beat
Bob Estes and Bill Haas on
the first hole of a playoff last
year, and Stuart Appleby
shot a 59 to beat Jeff Overton by a stroke in 2010.
Webb Simpson lost a onestroke lead on the back nine
at the tournament for the
second straight year. The
U.S. Open champion made
three straight bogeys, shot
73 and tied for seventh at
11 under.
During the fourth round,
Potter made long putts for
a birdie at No. 15 and an
eagle at No. 17, and his
5-footer for birdie at No.
18 tied Kelly, who could
have avoided the playoff but
missed birdie putts on the
