Battlefield registry meeting set Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — A project is underway to amend the existing National Register of Historic Places nomination for Buffington Island Civil War battlefield in Meigs County and a community meeting has been set for 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) at the Meigs County Historical Society annex for public input. Joseph Brent, who is preparing the project to amend the existing registry nomination will be conducting the meeting at which time the project will b e discussed. “Everyone is invited to come and learn more about the efforts of the Meigs County Historical Society, Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation Foundation, Ohio Historic Preservation Office and the American Battlefield Protection Program in moving this important project forward, ” said Brent. Currently, only the four-acre Buffington Island State Memorial is listed in the National Register. A recent American Battlefield Protection Program study determined that the battlefield encompasses over 1,200 acres in the Portland bottom area. The National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program is funding this project through a grant to the Ohio Historic Preservation Office of the Ohio Historical Society. Brent’s company, Mudpuppy & Waterdog, Inc. of Versailles, Ky. was awarded the contract to handle the project through a competitive bidding process. Tonight’s meeting will be the second of three community meetings. The fi- nal meeting will be held in Portland on Sept. 25, and the project will be completed in December. “This stage of the project is important. Now is the time for the people of Meigs County to provide their input. The battlefield is an important part of the rich history of the county. The Civil War Sesquicentennial marks the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War. This timely project seeks national recognition for this battlefield, which is often overlooked,” said Brent who encouraged interested residents to come out to the meeting.

Obama visit spotlights key Ohio swing area CINCINNATI (AP) — President Barack Obama’s Cincinnati visit Monday highlights the battleground within the battleground. Obama in 2008 became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Hamilton County since 1964, getting nearly 30,000 more votes than Republican John McCain. That helped him win Ohio, which has been crucial to Republican presidential hopes. But in the 2010 elections, Republicans Rob Portman, for U.S. Senate, and John Kasich, for governor, both carried Hamilton County while winning statewide. “Southwest Ohio is important for Democrats,” said Chris Redfern, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party. Cincinnati has a strong Democratic base led by a Democratic mayor, and Redfern said the party hopes to do better in Ham- ilton County’s suburbs and neighboring areas. But the crescent of suburbs in the fast-growing counties north and east of Cincinnati has become a bastion of votes for Republican candidates, helping counter heavy Democratic advantages in Cleveland and northeast Ohio. “We’ve got a lot of great Hamilton County Republicans living in Butler, Warren and Clermont counties,” said Alex Triantafilou, the Hamilton County GOP chairman. He likes Mitt Romney’s chances of returning the area to the Republican side this year. He said the Romney campaign organized early, and he expects Romney to get help from tea party groups that have been particularly active in the Cincinnati region. A wild card could be Romney’s choice of running mate. Portman, from the Cincinnati area, is widely believed to be on the short list of contenders. He was headed Monday to Lebanon, in Warren County, to promote Romney and critique Obama’s visit, which was to include a “town hall” session at Cincinnati’s Music Hall. Obama’s 2008 campaign made a statewide effort to pick up votes in even Republican-dominated areas, and has signaled that’s the same game plan this year. The campaign has field offices up and running in Middletown in Butler County and Mason in Warren County, plus ones in Cincinnati, Dayton and some Dayton suburbs. Obama and Mitt Romney have made multiple visits to Ohio in recent weeks, with Romney touring a Cincinnati manufacturing plant and holding a fundraiser last month. “I expect this part of the state to get a lot of attention,” Triantafilou said. Florida’s former Republican Gov. Jeb Bush is scheduled to be in Butler and Warren counties on Wednesday, while Romney is in northwest Ohio. Vice President Joe Biden last month canceled a planned trip to Butler County, but is to return to Ohio on Thursday at a yet-unannounced place.

Kucinich announces plans for PAC CLEVELAND (AP) — Lame duck U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich announced Monday that he was creating a political action committee to train a new generation of like-minded liberal leaders. “Our movement is and always has been about more than one leader or one campaign,” Kucinich, D-Ohio, told backers in an email message asking for PAC contributions. “It’s about taking back control of our politics, and taking charge of the debate.” Kucinich, a two-time candidate for president and former Cleveland mayor, was defeated in March by U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, of Toledo, in a Democratic primary set up by Republican redistricting. Kucinich said his PAC will train people with leadership skills for government decision-making at all levels. “Kucinich Action is a natural evolution of what our movement has been doing: standing up, speaking out, acting on our beliefs, and leading to change the outcome on behalf of the people,” he said. “It is also about enabling individuals to acquire the skills to participate and engage in the process of government decision-making at all levels.” Kucinich, aware of the political risks from redistricting in Ohio, had toyed with the idea of running for Congress in the Pacific Northwest and made a half-dozen visits to Washington State. Last week, he marked the 11th anniversary of a signature initiative, his introduction of a bill to create a cabinet-level Department of Peace. “We must embrace a Department of Peace as a way to address not only violence in our schools but the violence that exists in our homes, workplaces and institutions throughout our communities both nationally and internationally,” he said. Microsoft, NBC dissolve MSNBC.com SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the world’s largest software maker to build its own online news service. The breakup announced late Sunday dissolves the final shreds of a 16-year marriage between Microsoft Corp. and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast Corp. The relationship began to unwind in 2005 when Microsoft sold its stake in MSNBC’s cable TV channel to NBC. Terms of the deal weren’t revealed. The New York Times cited unnamed people knowledgeable about the deal who said Microsoft will receive about $300 million for in exchange for its 50 percent stake in the joint venture. MSNBC.com has been rebranded as NBCNews.com. Anyone typing MSNBC. com into a Web browser is now being automatically redirected to NBCNews.com. The website will move its headquarters from Microsoft’s corporate campus in Redmond, Wash., to NBC News’ longtime home in New York. The online divorce stemmed from the two partners’ desire to gain greater control over their digital destinies as the Internet becomes an increasingly important part of their businesses. The inherent constraints of being locked into a joint venture sometimes hand- cuffed Microsoft and NBC. Microsoft, in particular, had grown frustrated by contract terms requiring it to exclusively feature MSNBC. com content on its own websites. That exasperation was exacerbated by the MSNBC cable channel’s strategy to counter Fox News Channel’s appeal to conservative viewers by tailoring its programming for an audience with a liberal viewpoint. The strategy fed a perception that material from MSNBC’s website was politically slanted, too. “Being limited to MSNBC.com content was problematic to us because we couldn’t have the multiple news sources and the multiple perspectives that our users were telling us that they wanted,” said Bob Visse, general manager of Microsoft’s MSN portal and a board member of the former MSNBC joint venture. Now that it has shed those shackles, Microsoft is preparing to launch its own news service this fall. Although he declined to provide many details about the operation, Visse said the news staff will be about the same size as the roughly 100 people who created original content for the former MSNBC.com. By hiring its own news staff to feed material to its websites, Microsoft is embracing the same strategy as the owners of two other major Internet companies, Yahoo Inc. and AOL Inc. Microsoft has leaned on its lucrative franchise selling personal computer software to finance massive Internet investments that have rarely paid off, much to the frustration of its shareholders. The software maker initially invested $220 million in the MSNBC joint venture. It’s unclear if Microsoft ended up making any money on the alliance. As a whole, the company’s online operations, which include the Bing search engine and MSN portal, have lost more than $10 billion in the past seven years. Even as it sets out to compete against NBC News, Microsoft will continue to highlight the top stories from its former partner for the next two years under terms of the split. NBC News, in turn, believes it will be able to attract more traffic to its stable of websites by forging other partnerships that were off-limits when it was tied to Microsoft. “There is no question that we are going to have more flexibility to make our own decisions,” said Vivian Schiller, NBC News’ chief digital officer. “This is really an amicable breakup. We think competition will make us better.” MSNBC.com and its affiliated sites ranked as the Internet’s fourth most popular site for general news in the U.S., with nearly 50 million visitors in June, up 5 percent from last year, according to the research firm comScore Inc. Yahoo’s recently formed alliance with ABC News topped the charts with 81 million visitors, followed by AOL/Huffington Post, and CNN. As part of its online restructuring, NBC News plans to create a new online destination for the MSNBC cable channel’s personalities next year. Although it will be based in New York, NBCNews. com will retain a significant staff in the Seattle area, according to Schiller. About 170 of MSNBC.com’s 300 employees worked in the Seattle area. COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced last week that he is intensifying his efforts to stop pharmaceutical drug thefts in adult care facilities by offering investigative assistance to every nursing home, assisted living agency and residential care facility in Ohio. The effort is in response to growing concerns over prescription drug abuse, including drug diversion (theft), by care facility employees. In many cases, employees steal prescription drugs to feed their own addictions, the addictions of a loved one or to sell the medication on the streets. “Every time this happens, a real patient is deprived of the medication they need to get well,” said DeWine. “This is why my office is now contacting facility administrators throughout the state. We want to remind them that we can help.” The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office is authorized to review and investigate complaints of elderly abuse, neglect and drug diversion. Along with the Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman and the Ohio Department of Health, the MFCU can also seek the prosecution of suspects. “Our law enforcement officers have been aggressively shutting down ‘pill mills’ across the state, but now addicts may turn to care facilities to feed their dependence,” DeWine said. “We want to remind those who work in these licensed care facilities that they have the mandatory duty, as required by law, to report suspicions of abuse, neglect or drug diversion.” Over the past several years, drug diversions cases have become more common, including several cases prosecuted by the MFCU: A Fairfield County nursing assistant convicted of stealing pain patches from a 71-year-old man suffering from several severe medical conditions. The convictions of three nurses in Meigs County who were caught by surveillance cameras stealing prescription pain patches and pills. A Franklin County nurse convicted of stealing Oxycodone pills. A Cuyahoga County nurse convicted of stealing Percocet and Oxycodone pills and replacing them with Tylenol and Zofran tablets, respectively.

Shultz and Henry A Kissinger, with former Secretary of Defense, William J. Perry and longtime Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sam Nunn. The article created quite a stir, yet its outline of steps toward eliminating nuclear weapons has been hard to implement. What the proposed measures and implementation problems? “First and foremost is intensive work with leaders of the countries in possession of nuclear weapons to turn the goal of a world without nuclear weapons into a joint enterprise.” I disagree. Leaders have had decades to eliminate these weapons with limited results. We now know that nuclear weapons threaten not just the target nations, but human survival. While the leaders of the nuclear nine are important, it will require the sustained efforts of all the world’s people to abolish this threat to human survival. “Changing the Cold War posture of deployed nuclear weapons to increase warning time and thereby reduce the danger of an accidental or unauthorized use of a nuclear weapon” and “Eliminating short-range nuclear weapons designed to be forward-deployed.” The aggressive expansion of NATO in Eastern Europe and the positioning of antimissile systems on Russian borders has increased tensions and made agreements on these issues more difficult. Why is the U.S. doing this? Are these actions designed to preserve tensions in order to maintain Cold War budgets? “Continuing to reduce substantially the size of nuclear forces in all states that possess them.” To persuade conservative Senators to ratify the New START (arms reduction) Treaty with Russia, President Obama promised to invest $185 billion in modernizing our weapons and the missiles, planes and submarines built to deliver them. The hawks are demanding to see that money spent, in spite of its anti-proliferation effect and the current national budget austerity. Initiating a bipartisan process with the Senate… to achieve ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty….” Congressional hawks oppose all treaties that impose any limitations on our nuclear weapons activities. “Getting control of the uranium enrichment process, combined with the guarantee that uranium for nuclear power reactors could be obtained at a reasonable price….” Chernobyl, Fukushima and many smaller accidents have demonstrated to the world that nuclear energy is uncontrollable and horribly dangerous. Germany got the message and is closing its plants. The control of fissionable materials while hundreds of nuclear plants are operating around the world is not possible. We still have no provision for disposing of the deadly waste. Right now the leaks, accidents and routine discharges from nuclear plants are causing stillbirths, early births, infant deaths, leukemia, etc. We must face the fact that we cannot have a healthy, viable human future as long as we continue to pursue nuclear energy. A Realistic Agenda for a Safer World From this analysis we get some idea of the changes necessary to free the world of nuclear weapons. Change is difficult — not changing is suicidal. 1. The most urgent project is taking weapons off rapid deployment. It is criminally negligent that the U.S. and Russia still have a total of over 3,300 deployed weapons largely targeted on each other. This is an intolerable level of risk. Human, mechanical, electronic failure, or cyber attack could trigger Armageddon. The people of both nations must demand that these weapons be taken off rapid deployment. Why is this terrible danger not an election issue? 2. We must create a worldwide vision of a nuclear free world. Not just the nuclear nations, but all nations, large and small, rich and poor want a healthy future for their citizens. Creating and spreading this vision must be a top priority of all who want peace and a nuclear-free world.

In primitive terms, the wild animal about to eat the human child is the unseen radiation from all nuclear activities. For those who believe in the human future, in treasuring God’s Creation, there can be no greater calling. 3. Reducing tensions and resolving conflicts are essential to relinquishing nukes. For example: The joint imperial project of the U.S. and NATO nations to control world resources and markets creates reactions in many forms and encourages nations to keep or acquire nuclear weapons. The ongoing India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir is particularly dangerous because both nations have nuclear weapons and extremists who might use them. It is urgent that we support United Nations efforts to improve and enforce its conflict resolution process. 4. U.S. Congressional Hawks. Some in the Congress want to appear tough on terrorism, preserve DOD contracts in their districts, or are sponsored by Pentagon contractors. They routinely oppose all efforts to reduce tensions or military budgets, to ratify disarmament treaties, and often obstruct efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons. “In the 2012 election cycle, the top 14 nuclear weapons contractors gave total of $2.9 million to key members of Congress with decision making power over nuclear weapons spending. These firms have donated $18.7 million to these same members of Congress over the course of their careers.” — Key findings, Bombs Versus Budgets, the Center for International Policy at www. ciponline.org The whole of humanity is endangered by these hawks. The most effective way to pressure them to change is to run challengers against them and to convince their constituents that nuclear weapons and energy are too dangerous to exist. At the same time, we must provide for conversion of military facilities and labor to more humane purposes wherever possible. Cain Burdeau, Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) — More than 3,000 lots flooded by Hurricane Katrina and bought with federal money in an emergency bailout sit idle across this city — a multimillion-dollar drain on federal, state and city coffers that lends itself to no easy solution. An Associated Press examination of the properties sold to the government by homeowners abandoning New Orleans after the catastrophic 2005 flood has found that about $86 million has been spent on 5,100 abandoned parcels. And there’s no end in sight to maintenance costs for perhaps most of the 3,100 properties that remain unsold. This portfolio of urban wasteland and blight represents part of the storm’s difficult legacy that persists nearly seven years later. And with federal funding for maintenance running out, there’s concern the lots could fall into deeper neglect when this cash-strapped city is forced to pay for upkeep and that they could contribute to New Orleans’s staggering blight. At last count the city found an estimated 43,000 blighted properties, according to a city-sponsored analysis of U.S. Postal Service data. “Right now nobody on those 3,000-plus properties is contributing. It’s costing the city and state government to maintain them. Police got to go out there, run kids out of there, drug-users,” said Errol Williams, the tax assessor in New Orleans. “That’s a cost to the city. If they sell one, it comes back on the tax rolls, I’m happy.” Until now, the properties have been managed by the Louisiana Land Trust, an agency set up using federal funds. Jeff Thompson, a land-use lawyer on former Mayor Ray Nagin’s rebuilding team, said the city needs to be creative. “Maybe they should make them into ponds to store water. Make them into parks or community gardens,” he said. Donald Vallee, a longtime New Orleans developer, complained that city officials had Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

He advocated selling the lots at auction. Sitting on the properties, he said, was a “pure waste of money.” Every month, LLT spends about $88 to cut the grass at each location. Other expenses range from insurance to pest control. Since 2007, when the first homes were bought, $34 million has been spent on maintenance, $4.5 million on security and $9.1 million on overhead costs in New Orleans, according to LLT. In addition, some $38 million has been spent on demolishing 3,607 homes beyond repair and tearing up 1,256 slabs. Visits by a reporter to neighborhoods hit the hardest by the flood found these orphaned lots are contributing to blight and the checkerboard-like rebuilding still dragging on in parts of the city. The tour of 45 governmentowned properties was focused on the Lower 9th Ward and other neighborhoods where these abandoned lots are concentrated. Overall, many unsold properties are in lowlying neighborhoods that suffered blight and poverty even before Katrina. But they weren’t confined to rundown neighborhoods. On South Galvez Street in Broadmoor, an abandoned house was the only sign of Katrina left on the block. Jim Provensal, a musician living next door, said he wanted to buy it, but the city agency in charge of selling or developing the properties, the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority, wanted $130,000. “That’s too much money!” Provensal said. “They don’t care. They know if they sell the property they won’t have a job.” And so, the boarded-up house sits, paint peeling. In the Lower 9th Ward, 739 homeowners sold to the state. About 570 of those properties remain unsold and entire blocks sit undeveloped. “The city ain’t done a thing,” a frustrated Carolyn J. Claiborne said on a recent day, scanning empty lots on her Lower 9th Ward street. She complained of snakes and vermin. The New Orleans Redevelopment Authority has said it’s sitting on many properties at the request of neighborhood groups to avoid flooding the market and hurting home prices. The agency says it’s drafting plans to dispose of the properties and that it has about 750 prospective buyers. It plans to hold onto many of the other properties for the foreseeable future, NORA said. Nicole Heyman, a New Orleans-based expert on vacant and blighted property with the nonprofit Center for Community Progress, said holding onto the property is the right choice. She is advising the city on its plans. When a city sells cheaply they end up “just putting properties in the hands of investors who drive the properties’ values down,” she said. Buyers often sit on vacant properties hoping for a market turnaround, and when that doesn’t happen the properties end back up in the hands of a city, she said. This summer the city has begun taking ownership of the 3,100 properties as federal funding runs out. Soon the city is expected to be in charge of cutting the grass and maintaining them. Stacy Head, a City Council member-at-large, said the city doesn’t have the resources. “The LLT has actually done a good job of maintaining most of these properties,” Head said. “So, when they’re turned over to the city, our blight problems that we have not been able to manage are going to get that much worse.” Jeff Hebert, the head of NORA, said on Monday that the city will spend less on grass cutting, comparing LLT’s efforts to maintaining a golf course. “You’re not going to get 18-feet-high grass on these LLT properties but it’s not going to look like a putting green. We have budget realities we have to deal with,” he said.

Smith, 62, of Pomeroy, passed away on Saturday, July 14, 2012, at his residence. Arrangements will be announced Romney charges Obama’s ad attacks ‘misdirected’ WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney demanded Monday that President Barack Obama back away from his persistent attacks on Romney’s record at Bain Capital, advising that it would be better “if you spent some time speaking about your record.” “What does it say about a president whose record is so poor that all he can do in this campaign is attack me,” Romney said in a nationally broadcast interview. In a separate interview, Obama said he has run mostly positive campaign ads but said the media largely has ignored them. In his interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Romney was asked whether Obama should apologize for statements and campaign ads suggesting that Romney has not been truthful in his accounts of his record as head of Bain Capital, a private equity firm. Romney responded: “I think when people accuse you of a crime you have every reason to go after them pretty hard and I’m going to continue going after him.” He defended his business record but did not demand that Obama apologize. Romney also declined to make a fuller disclosure of tax returns than he has already committed himself to releasing. The latest exchanges came Monday as Obama prepared for campaign appearances in Ohio, a critical state for both candidates, and Romney was to join Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on a fundraising trip. Obama’s campaign has been arguing that Romney’s record at Bain Capital indicates that jobs were shipped overseas under his watch. That pitch has been given a lot of attention at a time when the nation’s unemployment rate remains above 8 percent and millions of people are out of work. Asked about this, Romney said he was “very proud of the record I had in my business career.” He added: “I’d say to the president, wouldn’t it be interesting Mr. President, wouldn’t it be interesting if you spent some time speaking about your record.” Romney also pressed a new line of attack against Obama, saying the Democratic president had put the interests of his wealthy campaign donors above the middle class. “When billions upon billions of dollars are given by the Obama administration to the businesses of campaign contributors, that’s a real problem, particularly at time when the middle class is really suffering in this country,” the former Massachusetts governor said. “This is a tough time for the people of America. But if you’re a campaign contributor to Barack Obama your business may stand to get billions or hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from the government. I think it’s wrong. I think it stinks to high heaven and I think the administration needs to explain how it is they would consider giving money to campaign contributors’ businesses.” Romney didn’t say it, but he was referring to Solyndra, a solar energy company that received a federal loan under Obama’s economic stimulus but went bankrupt last year, laying off its 1,100 workers and leaving taxpayers on the hook for more than $500 million. An Obama campaign donor had invested millions of dollars in the company. Obama’s team dismissed Romney’s latest criticism of the president. White House spokesman Jay Carney noted that Republican-led House committees have examined potential conflicts and found no evidence of improper behavior Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki, who joined Carney on Air Force One as the president flew to Ohio, said Romney was trying to change the subject to avoid the questions about his time at Bain Capital. “He has created this cloud of secrecy around his campaign that I promise you people in states across the country are very concerned about,” she said. Obama, in a taped interview broadcast Monday on “CBS This Morning,” was asked about the number of negative ads his campaign has been running against Romney. Obama said “we’ve done a whole slew of positive ads” that talk about the need for changes to the education system and the tax code, how to rebuild America and how to promote energy development. “So those just don’t get attention in the news,” Obama said. Romney also was asked about statements by Obama supporters, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, that he “stop whining” about the Obama attacks. He responded: “The best offense is to look at the president’s record. … He just hasn’t been able to do the job he was going to try and do.” “The president has only one thing going and that is constant attacks on me,” Romney said. “They’re dishonest, they’re misdirected and I think the American people recognize that kind of politics is something of the past. It may work in Chicago, but it’s not going to work across America.” Romney refused calls by Democrats — and some Republicans — to release several years of tax returns. He said the Obama campaign was only looking “for more things for their opposition research to make a mountain out of and to distort and to be dishonest about.” Romney has released his 2010 return and has pledged to release a complete return for 2011, but no more. Romney’s campaign said Sunday that Obama will say anything to get re-elected and should say he’s sorry for attacking the Republican’s successful career at Bain Capital. “No, we will not apologize,” the president responded, adding that if Romney wants credit for his business leadership, he also needs to take responsibility. Questions about Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital, the fortune he earned there, foreign bank accounts and his refusal to release more of his tax returns have dogged the former Massachusetts governor. Romney insists he left the firm in February 1999 to take over the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, but documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicate he was still in charge as late as 2001. Romney’s advisers on Sunday offered fresh explanations for the discrepancy. “He actually retired retroactively at that point,” Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said Sunday. “He ended up not going back to the firm after his time in Salt Lake City. So he was actually retired from Bain.” A second adviser, Kevin Madden, said Romney had no choice but to have his name listed on SEC documents as he sought to transfer the company’s leadership to partners. “The reason that there is a document that had … his signature is because, during that transition from 1999 to 2002 … there was a duty to sign those documents,” Madden said. Romney’s exact role at the firm between 1999 and 2001 is important not only because critics have raised questions about his truthfulness, but also because Bain was sending U.S. jobs overseas during the period. Romney has sought to distance himself from that period in Bain’s history, saying on financial disclosure forms and in a recent blitz of TV interviews that he had no active role in the company as of February 1999. “I had no role whatsoever in the management of Bain Capital after February of 1999,” he said Friday. “I was an owner, and being a shareholder doesn’t mean you’re running the business.” That answer didn’t satisfy Obama. “Mr. Romney claims he’s Mr. Fix-It for the economy because of his business experience, so I think voters entirely legitimately want to know what is exactly his business experience,” Obama told WAVYTV in Portsmouth, Va., in an interview taped Saturday and posted on the station’s website Sunday. “Mr. Romney is now claiming he wasn’t there at the time except his filings with the SEC listing says he was the CEO, chairman and president of the company.” Gillespie appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and CNN’s “State of the Union.

(AP) — The best car was rolling toward victory — until its driver and crew chief couldn’t agree on how many tires to change. Kasey Kahne capitalized on that confusion between Denny Hamlin behind the wheel and Darian Grubb in the pits to win his second Sprint Cup race of the year and make a leap toward one of the 12 spots in the Chase that determines this year’s NASCAR champion. “For those guys to mis- communicate, that helped us a ton,” Kahne said. “I’ll take ‘em any way we can.” Hamlin’s Toyota led for 150 of the 300 laps at the one-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. His communication wasn’t quite as good. Kahne, who finished second two weeks ago at Kentucky to Brad Keselowski, went ahead to stay during a restart on the 240th lap when Hamlin spent extra time in the pits as his crew changed all four tires. Hamlin wanted just two new ones. “Darian asked me how much of the tires I felt I’d used up. I felt like I had used up a substantial amount,” he said. “(I said) give me tires and no adjustments. He thought I meant four tires. Nothing’s a given. Even though it looked like we had one in the bag if we took two tires, you never know.” Kahne doesn’t feel he stole a victory. “I wouldn’t say ‘stolen.’ We ran in the top four the whole race,” he said. “We were in pretty good shape, (but) if he was to keep the track position I never would have passed him.” Hamlin’s longer pit stop left him all the way back in 13th place, but he kept passing cars until only Kahne remained in front. Then he simply ran out of miles and Kahne won by 2.738 seconds. It was the 14th win of Kahne’s career and first since May 27 at Charlotte. Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Keselowski rounded out the top five. The victory enhanced Kahne’s chances of qualifying for the Chase, the last 10 races of the season in which the top 10 drivers in the point standings win automatic berths. Two additional spots go to the drivers with the most wins who are ranked 11th to 20th in points. Kahne went from 16th to 12th, and his two wins are more than anyone in the second group of 10. “We’ve been pretty tough all year, but we just haven’t finished ‘em off a lot of the times,” Kahne said. “From here on out, we need some more top 10s and top fives the rest of the way. It doesn’t get us in the Chase yet, but it does help with a win today.” The turning point came when the third caution flag came out on the 234th lap for oil dropped on the track See NASCAR ‌| 8 Ravens, RB Ray Rice agree on five-year contract OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens and Ray Rice agreed on a new five-year contract Monday worth roughly $40 million. The Ravens and their standout running back went right down to the 4 p.m. deadline before hammering out the deal. Had Rice not signed, he would have played the 2012 season under the $7.7 million franchise tag tender. Instead, he will get $17 million this year and $8 million in 2013. Baltimore has made the playoffs in each of Rice’s four seasons, twice advancing to the AFC title game. He earned his second Pro Bowl invite last year after leading the NFL with 2,068 yards from scrimmage. “This is another example of (owner) Steve Bisciotti’s commitment to the team and to our fans to retain our core players,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “Ray has been an integral part of us earning the playoffs in each of his four seasons.

Gallia Academy Football CENTENARY, Ohio — Mandatory helmet fitting for seventh and eighth grade football will be held August second 10 a.m. at See BRIEFS ‌| 10 LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Another major championship has Masters champion Bubba Watson feeling a bit perplexed. Only this time, it’s not just because of the golf course. “I haven’t seen the water yet,” Watson said Monday after his first practice round at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. “We’re really close to the water. My house is close to the water. But the water seems like it’s way away from the shoreline — like miles. Why is the water so far away? Like the beach goes for miles, and then the water is way out there. Can you answer that one?” In these parts, that’s known as the tide. This was Bubba having some fun on the first official day of practice, and he did well to escape the water that matters — the rain. Wet weather is in the forecast for much of the week in what has been a miserable summer of rain even by British standards, and Watson managed to get in 18 holes before the first big downpour. He’s really not concerned about finding the water in the Irish Sea. The bigger worry is trying to navigate through 206 bunkers that are littered across Royal Lytham & St. Annes, so many of them that Watson recited a few numbers that showed how much he was paying attention. “Not that I counted, but there’s 17 (bunkers) on 18, and there’s nine on No. 1,” he said. Watson only found two of them Monday, but it shaped his thinking for the week. He said he spent much of practice round thinking about where to hit the ball, not how far. That pink driver on display at Augusta National didn’t come out of the bag that much. In its place were a variety of irons, anything to stay short of the bunkers. “It looks like we’re going to hit a lot of irons off of tees, try to play safer, smarter — whatever you want to call it — and just have a longer shot into some of these holes,” Watson said. “The par 5, No. 7, I’m going to hit iron off that tee even though I could reach it if I hit it in the fairway with a driver. I have to figure out a way to lay back and just have a longer shot into some of these holes. “That doesn’t mean I’m going to be able to do that,” he added with a smile. “That’s my goal.” Even with four wins — including his first major in April — and talking about the unique style of play he calls “Bubba Golf,” Watson feels he has a lot to learn, especially in the majors. He missed the cut at the U.S. Open playing with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, saying even before it started that Olympic Club was too hard for him. Lytham is hardly a pushover. The bunkers can be so severe that defending champion Darren Clarke predicted some players might have no choice but to take a penalty drop because there’s no way out. Because of the wet spring, the native grass framing the fairways is so tall and thick and spotters have had a hard time finding the golf ball. Even if they do happen to find it, odds are See OPEN ‌| 8 A fair test awaits at Lytham LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Ernie Els walked toward the century-old clubhouse that sits squarely behind the 18th green at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Just the sight of it Monday evening was enough to bring back a memory. It wasn’t a particularly good one. Els made a furious charge on Sunday in 1996, his first time in serious contention at the British Open. He chipped away at an eight-shot deficit to Tom Lehman until he was slowed by a bogey on the 16th and another on the 18th for a 67. That left him two shots behind, having to wait around to see if Lehman would somehow make a double bogey on the 16th hole. “I was sitting in that damn locker room there,” Els said, smiling as he pointed toward a darkened glass window in the clubhouse. He wasn’t alone. Next to him that day was a 20-year-old amateur, Tiger Woods, who had a 66 in the second round and was low amateur for the week at Lytham. Woods was asking Els for advice on whether he was ready to turn pro. “He was trying to figure out his future, and I was trying to figure out if the guy was going to make double bogey or not,” Els said. “Tom made par and Tiger turned pro. I was (doomed) either way.” Els broke into easy laughter. He eventually captured the claret jug six years later at Muirfield. As for the kid at his table? Woods turned pro, and now has three claret jugs among his 14 majors. Els has been a runner-up to Woods seven times, the most of any player. They are at different places in their careers coming into the 141st British Open, which returns to Lytham for the 11th time when it starts Thursday. Woods has won three times this year on the PGA Tour, again is the betting favorite whenever he plays and needs only another major championship to shut up the skeptics who wonder whether he will ever return to being a force in golf. Els last won a tourna- ment at Bay Hill two years ago, though he has given himself a chance in four tournaments this year, including the U.S. Open last month at Olympic. The state of their game might be defined by this British Open. Royal Lytham & St. Annes is identified mainly by its size and its views, or lack thereof in both cases. It is situated on the smallest piece of property of any links course in the Open rotation, and it is the only course that does not offer a glimpse of the water — the Irish Sea in this case. A railway runs along the right side of the outward nine, with homes surrounding the rest of the property. And then there are the bunkers — now under debate whether there are 206 or 205 of them. Masters champion Bubba Watson counted 17 bunkers on the closing hole. But perhaps the most compelling characteristic of the course is the list of Open champions it has produced. Bobby Jones in 1926, the year he became the first player to win the British Open and U.S. Open in the same season. Bobby Locke and Peter Thomson, who combined for eight Open titles in 10 years. Tony Jacklin, the last Englishman to win an Open on English soil. Lehman, nine months before his brief stay at No. 1 in the world. David Duval, two years after he dethroned Woods atop the world ranking. Els recently told Scotland on Sunday that advances in equipment “have had a huge effect on the ability of anyone to separate himself from the rest.” But in links golf, he’s not sure that’s the case. Royal Lytham & St. Annes, at only 7,060 yards as a par 70, is not a course that can be overpowered, even in green conditions. Links golf is at its best when the grass is brown from sunshine and dry spells, such as Royal Liverpool in 2006 when Woods only hit driver once. This year, when the rain never seems to stop in England, the course is softer and not quite running as fast. Regardless, it’s about keeping the ball on grass instead of See LYTHAM ‌| 8 �60330088 known as Village of Pomeroy Locust and State Street Emergency Roadway Improvements at the Village of Pomeroy (the “Owner”), 660 E.

Hamlin went into the pit, telling Grubb over the radio that he wanted tires. Grubb, who first planned to change just two, interpreted that to mean four. As Hamlin went back on the track, Grubb told him, “My bad, bud.” After the race, Grubb took the blame: “That was 100 percent my fault.” And Hamlin knew how costly the mistake was. “You try to be optimistic, but you pretty much know your chance of winning has been pretty much taken away if there are no cautions,” he said. “Darian has won me a couple of races this year, more than he’s taken away from me.” The win was the fifth of the year for Hendrick Motorsports in 19 races. Seven remain before the Chase begins at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., on Sept. 16. Kyle Busch, the pole-sitter, led the first 66 laps before his own costly pit stop. It took longer than usual as his crew had a problem with the right tire. Then Open there was more trouble — a drive-through penalty against Busch for entering pit road too fast. When he finally returned to the track, he was all the way back in 22nd place. Busch finished 16th. Hamlin, Busch’s teammate with Joe Gibbs Racing, took over the lead after that problem. Sam Hornish Jr., replacing the suspended AJ Allmendinger, came in 22nd. Allmendinger was suspended about 90 minutes before the race at Daytona International Speedway last weekend after a urine sample taken the previous weekend at Kentucky Speedway came back positive for what his team identified only as a stimulant. His “B” sample is to be tested, probably this week, with his toxicologist present. Kahne should have a more relaxing week. With no Sprint Cup race next weekend, he has time to savor his win, no matter how he got it. “We did it with good pit strategy, got the track positions,” he said, “and we were able to lead those final laps.” Rice From Page 6 “I should say something about his community efforts; I think they are almost unmatched by any player in the NFL,” Newsome said. “You’d have a hard time finding a player who does more or is as serious about helping others as Ray is. He is one of those players you can proudly say, ‘He’s on our team.’ “ As Baltimore’s franchise Apartments/Townhouses player, Rice would not have been required to report at the start of training camp. The Ravens will hold their first full squad workout July 26, and Rice is expected to attend. Baltimore selected the 5-foot-8, 212-pounder from Rutgers in the second round of the 2008 draft.

That’s why “Bubba Golf” this week might look a little conservative. “I learned a lot at the U.S. Open watching Tiger, watching Phil, learning about strategy,” Watson said. “You know, the game is a tough game, so you’ve just got to learn and process this information and move on. I missed the cut there, but I feel good. I finished second the week after the U.S. Open. My game feels where it needs to be, but it’s all about executing the right shots at the right time and hitting them in the right place.” The key is for his head to be in the right spot. Watson likes to make fun of himself when it comes to his mental game, saying time and again that “I’ve got issues.” At home, he’s still finishing up the paperwork on the adoption of his son, Caleb, who came into his world right before he won the Masters. Watson gets distracted easily, whether it’s deciding what he wants for dinner or what video game he’s going to play that night. Part of his charm is that he acts like a kid. “When I focus right, I play pretty good,” Watson said. “And when I don’t focus right, I miss the cut pretty quick.” His focus at Lytham is being in the short grass. There are a few holes, such as the 336-yard 16th hole with the wind from the Irish Sea at the players’ back, where they might be tempted to go for the green. Some of them tried on a more pleasant afternoon on Sunday, though the risk is to catch the bunkers short of the green. From there, players might need to two more shots just to get on the green. Watson was asked if he can overpower the golf course in good weather. “It’s a trick question because yes, I can,” he said. “But I’ve got to hit every fairway, and with the driver sometimes I get a little wild, as we know. The high rough. It’s not like our rough in the U.S. This is hay that is 15 yards off the fairway, 10 yards off on some of the holes, and you might not find your ball. You have to play smart. This golf course, and the U.S. Open, they make you play to a strategy and have to play a certain way, so you have to do that. “There could be a day out of four days that I can just beat driver everywhere and play great golf,” he said. “But four days in a row to get that lucky, to not have a bad lie or find all my balls, that would be tough to do.” Watson missed the cut at Turnberry and St. Andrews in his first two trips to the Open. A year ago, he improved to a tie for 30th. It’s not the best record so far, though his head appears to be in the right place. Unlike Olympic, where he didn’t like his chances upon seeing the course with so much slope in the fairways, he loves links golf. Watson already has played Royal Birkdale and St. Annes Links before showing up at Lytham. He loves the creativity required, the bounces on the turf, the imagination. It’s different, but it’s fun. “I think that’s why it gets so difficult for me is because there’s so many shots you can play,” he said. “But I love it. I love coming over here. It’s sad that it’s one week out of the year to play links golf for us from the U.S. But it’s fun. You can come over here and create shots that you don’t normally do.” Lytham From Page 6 in the bunkers. And it’s about keeping it out of the rough, which Watson described as hay, and he wasn’t joking. With rain comes high grass, and it’s so lush that Woods told reporters on Sunday that some spots were unplayable. That much is certain. Aaron Townsend hit a shot into the rough to the right of the 15th green on Sunday, and it took a marshal standing only a few yards away nearly five minutes to find it. Watson went around Monday morning before the heavy rain arrived, and he rarely showed off his pink driver.

It’s all about staying in the fairway, and not deep in a pot bunker or buried in native grass. “It’s a course where there’s a certain way you’ve got to play it,” Els said, referring to tee shots having to be in the right spots in the fairway. “It’s a lot like Hoylake. You’ll have a lot of guys doing the same thing. So it’s the guy with the best nerves, the best shotmaking, the guy with the best putter. It’s going to come down to the final bit here.

You might express your anger at times, but your best bet is simply not to engage. That way, the person cannot win. If you are single, you attract your share of admirers. Take your time getting to know someone. If you are attached, try not to put the blame on the other person; instead, look at how both of you can be wrong. Cancer can be possessive and manipulative. 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) HHH Tap into your subconscious and listen to your dreams. A partner could be much sourer than you think. Listen to this person, and see if you can work the problem out together. Do not feel pressured by others. Tonight: Head home. Order in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You could be wondering why others are so reactive right now. Many people are stressed out, and without realizing it, you look like a target that will not react or understand. Tonight: Hang out with friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of a possessiveness stemming from your insecurity. You might want to rethink your choices. At the same time, be aware of the importance of building yourself up. A partner or key associate might put too much pressure on you. Tonight: Do errands on the way home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your mood could change radically before you find the right one. Perhaps you need to express your hurt before it builds to this point. Someone might seem to be pressuring you, but it is not his or her intent. Try to explain where you are coming from. Tonight: All smiles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to play the role of recluse for a bit. You don’t need to explain to everyone the “who, what, where and why” of a situation. By midday, tempers soar. Be very happy that you don’t need to answer your phone. Tonight: Enjoy the benefits of this vanishing act. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You see an opportunity that you decide to jump on. You can- not be too sure of yourself, as you will get enough flak and questioning to make even the most confident people back off. Let everyone air out their feelings, but you still can head in the direction you choose. Tonight: Zero in on your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take charge of a situation. It appears that if you don’t, no one else will. A family member or domestic issue keeps plaguing your thoughts during the day. Why not handle the issue so that you can be free to focus on other matters and people? Tonight: Could go into the wee hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Imagine what could be possible if you were to become willing to break a pattern. Someone might be taken aback by your decisions and suddenly try to block you on your present course. Even if this behavior feels hostile, it comes from concern. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Interact with each individual directly, and everyone will appreciate your attention and interest. You might need to relax in a meeting if you really want an important idea to go through. Too much pushing could bring a negative reaction. Tonight: Let go of a problem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be challenged by many people today, but others’ attitudes come from the fact that you can be quite sassy. Let others have their way, and you will note a trend toward more positive interactions. Tonight: So many people, so many choices. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. You could be overwhelmed by the options that appear. Clearly, you cannot do what you must and detour at the same time. Tonight: Squeeze in a visit to the gym and some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your sense of humor and delightful manner appeal to nearly everyone. While some people might be testy and difficult, you’ll walk away from the hassles and allow yourself to have better interpersonal communication. You’ll also establish boundaries. Tonight: Live it up.
