If they were under 12, they got onto the midway free until noon, were given a ticket for a chance in the drawing for some really neat electronic things, and rode all day long on the carnival rides for just $5. The second “Kid’s Day” will take place Saturday. Winners of electronics, things like cameras and iPods, in Tuesday’s drawing were Abbie Bauerbach, Austin Collins, Hunter Murphy, Haidyn Elliot, Sydney Sanders, Coltsen Combs, Garrett Taylor, Kolton Gillilan, and Brady Watson. Every day of the fair, kiddie tractor pulls are taking place in the small arena with lots of boys and girls pedaling to get into the winner’s circle for the pull of champions, which will take place at 11 a.m. on Friday.

Dear M.O.: Although there is a very good chance that some private or family therapy sessions would be helpful to your son, I also can see from your letter that you aren’t entirely comfortable with that kind of approach. That is fine, but it is likely that your son could use some kind of structured support to help him work through his grief. He undoubtedly senses that people are wishing he’d just get over it and somehow return to being himself. Those expectations on the part of his friends and family are only likely to make him feel more isolated and upset. So you are wise to know that he can find a better path than the one he’s been on. After the tragedy of Sept. 11, you may recall hearing about the concept of grief or bereavement camps that were set up for the surviving children. Since then, the concept has spread to other kids who have lost loved ones and need a place to get together where they can express their feelings, learn that they are not alone and work toward healing while having fun again, perhaps for the first time since their loss. Staffed by social workers or hospice experts, the camps often become the tipping point when children become able to get on with their lives. I recommend that you start looking for such a program for your son. He deserves it.

Presidential campaigns spar over Ohio election law COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — It doesn’t take much to start a political spat in Ohio, where jockeying for every presidential vote is practically blood sport. The latest pits President Barack Obama’s campaign against groups representing military voters, an uncomfortable place for the commander in chief. At issue is the legality of an Ohio law cutting three days from the early-voting period for everyone, except members of the armed forces and Ohioans living overseas. The dispute reached federal court Wednesday, thanks to what the Obama campaign describes as its first lawsuit anywhere in the nation for the 2012 election. U.S. District Judge Peter Economus in Columbus listened to arguments from both sides but issued no decision. He gave no time frame for a decision, saying only that he would take the matter under advisement. Put simply, both political parties see looser rules for early voting as an advantage for Obama because they may encourage minorities, young people and other harder-toreach voters to cast a ballot. Military votes are thought to lean Republican. As state lawmakers debated changes to election laws, the Ohio Association of Election Officials endorsed the idea of cutting the three final early-voting days, those just before Election Day, contending they needed the extra time over the weekend to prepare for Tuesday voting. Democrats say it smacks of political manipulation to restrict in-person voting for most people while giving service members extra time to vote, even if they are not stationed abroad. They want the three days restored for everyone. “Ohio has arbitrarily decided to turn most, but not all, voters away from open in-person voting locations for no reason at all,” attorneys for the Obama campaign wrote in court filings. Republicans see a chance to drive a wedge between Obama and parts of the country where the military culture runs deep. A Gallup poll in August found a 57-35 advantage for Republican Mitt Romney over Obama among veterans. Romney was fast off the mark when the issue flared, declaring opposition to the lawsuit against the state’s attorney general and top elections official, and solidarity with the 15 military organizations opposing the legal challenge. “I’ll work to protect the voting rights of our military, not undermine them,” Romney said in a statement. Democrats point out that veterans, many elderly or infirm, are also among those disadvantaged by not having the extra days to vote in person. AMVETS, a veterans’ advocacy group, and groups representing members of the National Guard, Army, Navy and Marines are among organizations opposing the suit. While keeping their distance from the partisan fray, they worry about the precedent that could be set for military voters nationwide if the federal court here decides they should not be treated differently. Early-voting rules have been in flux nationally, generally with Democratic lead- ers striving for a more open regimen and Republicans trying to hold the line or push back. In all, 32 states plus the District of Columbia allow voters to cast an early ballot by mail or in person without having to give a reason. In 2008, about 30 percent of Ohio’s total votes — or roughly 1.7 million — came in before Election Day. Of those, Democrats estimated in the lawsuit that 93,000 voted just in the final days. Back then, advance voters had until the day before the election, a Monday. Now, early in-person voting is to stop the Friday before Election Day for most. It’s not surprising to see an election lawsuit popping up in Ohio already. “Ohio is a repeat player in the election litigation business,” said Edward Foley, an elections law expert at Ohio State University. “Ohio matters and it stands to reason that the candidates are going to care more about the voting rules for a swing state.” Obama won Ohio in 2008. Romney is expected to make a strong play for it in November. Three days of in-person voting before Election Day were eliminated for most Ohio voters after a series of contentious election law changes cleared the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. John Kasich signed them into law. The Obama campaign has a network of people handling voter protection issues in states in a more informal way. For instance, the campaign has worked with state Democratic parties in Florida and Colorado to seek records in cases where the state claims to have a list to purge noncitizens from the rolls. But the campaign hasn’t filed other lawsuits in state or federal courts. “We don’t resort to lawsuits as a matter of policy,” said Bob Bauer, general counsel of Obama for America, the formal name for the president’s re-election effort. Lawsuits are complicated, expensive, time-consuming and confusing, he added. But Bauer said: “There isn’t any other way to solve the problem in Ohio outside this federal court system. There’s nothing we can do because the decision has been made, and that’s how the state is preparing for the election.” Before the rollback, local boards of election had the discretion to set their own early, in-person voting hours on the three days before the election. People were allowed up until Monday before the Tuesday election to vote in person. Weekend voting varied among the state’s 88 counties. Obama’s re-election campaign previously has stepped in to challenge changes to Ohio election law. Obama supporters helped circulate petitions last year in an effort to have voters this fall overturn a law that overhauled election rules. State lawmakers later repealed that measure. Romney’s campaign hasn’t weighed in on voting issues in states other than Ohio. Whether the ability to vote during the final three days matters to Ohio voters remains unclear. People have other ways to vote, including casting an absentee by mail starting 35 days before the election and casting an in-person ballot on other days. Norman Carmichael, 64, of Columbus, said he’s taken advantage of the state’s inperson voting rules before and he opposes any move that makes voting harder for people. “I don’t think that’s fair,” he said, when asked about the restrictions on the three days before the election. Rema Ina, 29, of Columbus, typically votes on Election Day and wasn’t aware Ohioans could even cast a ballot in person before then. “I’m not bothered by it because I didn’t even know about it,” she said.

Ryan honed conservative economic views at Miami U. studies, strengthening his belief in empowering individuals. … It all kind of gravitated back to what the role of government was in society.” Ryan was scheduled to lead a rally Wednesday at Miami’s campus in Oxford, about 40 miles north of Cincinnati. When he was a freshman, in 1988, Miami was growing in popularity as a leading academic-bang-for-the-buck public university dubbed by one author as among “The Public Ivys.” Lisa Rippe, from Ryan’s Janesville, Wis., hometown and high school, said Ryan had asked her how she liked Miami; she gave him positive reviews, and he soon was part of her carpool for the six- to seven-hour drive to southwest Ohio. The liberal arts school of 14,000 students prided itself on its teachers and the kind of personal availability that Ryan found with Hart, who Ryan has said challenged him and set him on “a vision quest” to improve the nation’s economics. Hart had Ryan, an economics/political science double major, in a junior-level macroeconomics class designed to be a “weeder” — loaded with analytics and math, it wasn’t meant to help grade-point averages. Ryan had little trouble mastering the work, Hart said, and he stood out with an intellectual curiosity that brought him frequently to Hart’s office to talk things out. They dissected what they saw as flaws in Keynesian economics and government approaches, and traded thoughts on writings such F.A. Hayek’s 1944 warning against state control, “The Road to Serfdom,” and Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged,” about creative and productive individuals rebelling against increasing government control and taxation. Hart doesn’t remember Ryan ever discussing plans to run for office, but he said he wasn’t surprised when Ryan asked for a recommendation for an internship in the office of Sen. Bob Kasten, R-Wis., which Ryan landed, or when Ryan went to work after college for New York Rep. Jack Kemp. Hart considered Kemp, with his optimism and font of conservative ideas, a natural political mentor for Ryan. Ryan had joined the College Republicans and took on tasks such as putting up yard signs and knocking on doors for Boehner, who would win election in Republican-dominated Butler County in 1990 to the seat he still holds. Miami’s political connec- tions go back to President Benjamin Harrison, Class of 1852. Vice President George H.W. Bush campaigned on the campus in 1988, Ryan’s freshman year, and the campus was among the settings for George Clooney’s 2011 presidential politics thriller “The Ides of March.” Ryan stayed in the Anderson Hall dormitory his freshman year, then moved to the Delta Tau Delta house. Several Greek houses were founded at Miami, and about a third of its undergraduates are in fraternities or sororities. We’ve Got Money to Lend 740-949-2210 Come on over to Bob’s...

His interest in politics and economics — Republican and conservative — thrived during his four years on the small-town campus. Thought of as a smart and serious student but also friendly and outgoing, Ryan was part of the college’s influential Greek community as a Delta Tau Delta. He ventured into elective politics as a lowlevel volunteer for the congressional campaign of state legislator John Boehner, now the U.S. House speaker. The young Ryan, Class of 1992, honed a conservative bent with the help of an enthusiastic professor who served as mentor and sounding board in hours-long sessions on politics. He also studied economic thinkers such as Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and others who believed in individuals and market forces over government solutions. “The core beliefs were already there,” Miami professor Rich Hart said Tuesday of his former pupil. “I think he was just honing them with his �The Daily Sentinel Sports THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2012 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com New Big East boss says league is ‘united’ NEW YORK (AP) — New Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco wants to create a conference that gives its members no reason to leave. Aresco held his first news conference Wednesday since being hired by the Big East. He was joined at the New York Athletic Club by University of Cincinnati President Greg Williams, the head of the league’s search committee. The Big East was gutted during the last round of conference realignment, losing three longtime members (Syracuse, West Virginia and Pittsburgh) and a member- to-be (TCU). It has reconstructed itself as a national football conference that will span four time zones starting next season. “I think you approach realignment with the idea that you strengthen your conference,” said Aresco, who is leaving his job as an executive vice president with CBS Sports to take over the Big East in early September. “You make it a place people want to be. You make it a place where people who have left would rather have been back there. You make sure that there is a consensus among the schools.” Aresco said he believes the rebuilding league is stable. “I would not have taken this job if I did not feel that this was a cohesive conference that was committed to each other,” Aresco said. “What I want to do is make sure I’m a good communicator. I think it’s very, very important to make everyone feel welcome. To understand everyone’s concerns. You have a disparate group of schools but they share a common goal. They want to make this work.” The Big East also has an expansive basketball league that in- cludes eight members that don’t participate in the football conference, including Notre Dame. Balancing the desires of the basketball schools with the football schools has always been tricky for the Big East and now it’s bringing in schools such as Boise State and San Diego State for football only with no regional ties to the current members. “I think we have a football conference that’s going to be extremely successful. We already have the most successful basketball conference in the country,” Aresco said. “There already is stability and it’s my job to guide them to an even brighter future.” Aresco is a Connecticut native who grew up with the Big East Conference, which started as a northeast basketball league, expanded to football in the early 1990s and is now in the process of its second major makeover. The Big East is also about to enter into negotiations for a new television contract, one that will likely decide whether the conference does have future.

Dynamic duo: Keselowski and crew chief Wolfe WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — When Paul Wolfe decided to give NASCAR a try, he made sure he had a backup plan. “I became a certified welder,” Wolfe said. “I never really thought driving would ever provide me a chance. The opportunity to work on cars was more realistic. I wasn’t really thinking about driving when I got into it.” It’s good to be a realist. Since moving from baseball country in upstate New York — Wolfe grew up in Milford, a stone’s throw from Cooperstown — to North Carolina in 1996 to give stock car racing a try, Wolfe has put in long hours working for Joe Gibbs, Tommy Baldwin, and Ray Evernham, among others, gaining valuable handson experience. Now, he’s crew chief of the No. 2 Dodge driven by Brad Keselowski for Penske Racing in the Sprint Cup series, and a force in the NASCAR garage. “I tried to learn from everybody,” said Wolfe, who did drive in the Camping World East and Nationwide Series from 2000-05, notching eight top-fives but no wins before concentrating on becoming a crew chief. “You can never stop learning in this sport. It’s always changing.” After also working for Fitz Racing and CJM Racing, Wolfe signed in November 2009 with Penske, which was starting a new Nationwide team for Keselowski. “Paul was taking less and doing a lot more with it at other race teams before he got the opportunity to go to a team like Penske Racing, where they’ve got good equipment,” said Steve Addington, crew chief for reigning Cup champion Tony Stewart and a close friend of Wolfe. “I think he was showing everybody that he kind of knew what he was doing. He’s got a good, core group that’s been with him through the steps. He’s keeping that group together, and that’s the smart thing to do. You know they’ve got your back. That’s the cool part of having team chemistry from the bottom to the top.” That chemistry has been magical. During the 2010 Nationwide season, Keselowski scored six wins, five poles and a series-record 26 topfive finishes on the way to a 445-point victory in the final point standings behind the wheel of Wolfe-prepared cars, giving Roger Penske his first NASCAR championship. “Paul’s very confident in what he does with a race car, and Brad believes in everything he does,” Addington said. “That’s a pair to watch in this sport for a long time.” Wolfe moved up to the Sprint Cup series last year and Keselowski, despite a broken foot suffered in testing at midseason, posted three victories to qualify for See DUO ‌| 7 OVP Sports Schedule Wednesday, August 15 Golf GAHS at Chillicothe, 10 a.m. Wahama at Waterford Invite, 8 a.m. Thursday, August 16 Golf GAHS at Portsmouth Invite, 9 a.m. RVHS, Wahama at SGHS, 4:30 Alexander at Meigs, 4:30 Eastern, Miller at Southern, 4:30 Friday, August 17 Golf Portsmouth at GAHS, 10 a.m. Boys Soccer Point Pleasant at OVCS, 5 p.m. Saturday, August 18 Boys Soccer Point Pleasant at Scott, 5 p.m. Girls Soccer Point Pleasant at Scott, 7 p.m. Bettina Hansen/Hartford Courant/MCT photo West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith throws against Connecticut in the first half of UConn’s 43-16 loss to the Mountaineers at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia, on Oct. 8, 2011. West Virginia’s offense looks to thrive in Big 12 CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — For quarterback Geno Smith, the temptation might be to watch West Virginia’s pounding of Clemson in the Orange Bowl over and over. The prolific passer is doing quite the opposite in preparing for the Mountaineers’ debut season in the Big 12. Smith knows he wasn’t perfect last season. There were extended periods when he generated little offense, times when he held onto the ball too long, or fumbled it away. There were costly interceptions in losses to LSU and Syracuse. “I made poor decisions in a lot of situations,” Smith said. “That’s really where I’ve improved the most, my decision making and being able to get us in and out of good plays, taking care of the ball a little bit more and just overall being a better quarterback.” Entering his third season as the starter, the senior is up to 225 pounds after adding 10 pounds of muscle during the offseason and he has immersed himself in film study to be better prepared. In that 70-33 win over Clemson, Smith completed 31 of 42 passes for 401 yards, tied the record for any bowl game with six touchdown passes and also ran for another score. That after a regular season in which he set multiple school records in throwing for 4,385 yards and 31 TDs as the Mountaineers finished 10-3. Next up is the transition from the Big East to the Big 12, where West Virginia is expected to compete for a title right away. “I think we’re excited, but I think we’re going about business as usual,” Smith said. “We’re going to make sure we focus in and don’t leave any stones unturned this season because we believe we have a shot at the national title.” With the change in leagues comes concern about how West Virginia will handle the longer travel to away games and playing three games in the potential heat of Oklahoma and Texas. In the past, some road Big East trips were done by bus. Not anymore. The Mountaineers’ shortest trip to a Big 12 school is 870 miles one way to play Iowa State. “Travel is going to be different for us,” Smith said. “It’s going to be a long grind, but we’re prepared for it.” Two coaches with plenty of Big 12 experience will help ease the transition. Before taking over at West Virginia last year, coach Dana Holgorsen spent eight years as an assistant at Texas Tech and the 2010 season as Oklahoma State’s offensive coordinator, while new Mountaineers defensive coordinator Joe DeForest was with the Cowboys See OFFENSE ‌| 7 African country to make debut at Little League WS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — The pings of metal bats striking baseballs reverberated from the covered hitting cages at dawn. The early-risers from Uganda are the first team from Africa to make it to the Little League World Series, and they aren’t wasting a minute on the pristine grounds of South Williamsport. “I had never seen such a beautiful field,” third baseman Ronald Olaa, 11, said about Lamade Stadium, up a hill from the cages. “I got mesmerized.” The rest of the 15-team tournament field is captivated, too, by Olaa and his teammates. They’re one of the most popular squads on the Little League campus half a world away from their home in Lugazi, Uganda. “Who gets to meet people from Uganda in our neck of the woods,” Brad Wegner, manager of a Kearney, Neb., team, said in recounting how he told his players to meet other teams and enjoy time off the diamond. Wegner’s boys are making history, too. It’s the first time in the 66 years of the tournament that a team from that state has made the tournament. Opening day is Thursday with four games on the slate. Nebraska plays the prime-time game against Goodlettsville, Tenn. They’re already ready to party back in Kearney no matter how far the town’s mini-mashers make it in the World Series. But Blake Quintana, 13, is handling all the attention like a seasoned major leaguer. “They’re planning to have a big celebration when we get back,” the 13-yearold second baseman said during a break at the cage while leaning against his bat. “I’m excited for it, but we have to focus on this first.” Caveat: Boys this age can have short attention spans, too. “I love the game room, dude,” 13-year-old Jake Gappa exclaimed as he trudged back with teammates to the dorms carrying a bag full of equipment after a round at the cage. Free gear and a players housing complex with a rec room and pool are part of the perks of being one of the 16 teams left standing at the World Series after a summer-long tournament that began with 7,000 squads worldwide. In South Williamsport, the field is broken up into eight U.S. teams and eight international teams. The 11day tournament is doubleelimination until the final weekend, when U.S. and international champions are crowned to face off for the World Series title. Sure, there’s pressure, especially in the middle of games broadcast for millions watching on national televi- sion with tens of thousands more sitting in the stands. In the Williamsport area — the birthplace of Little League — the World Series is a time-honored tradition during which many residents and volunteers plan their vacations. “There’s a giant time commitment … But you always keep it in perspective. You know, it’s 12-year-old baseball,” said Fairfield, Conn., manager Bill Meury. There’s also already a sense of accomplishment and relief among teams that have advanced. “All the teams here have won, and you’re playing with house money,” said Meury, who couldn’t stop smiling or laughing. “If you can put together a couple good games, maybe you can do something that I don’t think anyone can set as a goal at the beginning of the year, which is to win a World Series.” Finding a baseball field See DEBUT ‌| 7 �Thursday, August 16, 2012 OVP Sports Briefs Stringers needed for 2012 football season GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Ohio Valley Publishing is currently searching for two individuals that want to be a part of the upcoming 2012 football season in an extra capacity.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com East From Page 6 conference and right now Big East football has been downgraded. The Big East has held a lucrative automatic bid to the Bowl Championship Series, but that system is being replaced by a playoff, starting in 2014. The Big East will no longer draw postseason revenues equivalent to the Big Ten, Southeastern Conference, Big 12, Pac-12 and Atlantic Coast Conference, but it is still hoping to land a television deal worth upward of a billion dollars. “I’m not daunted,” Aresco said. “We have to tell the story. We have to talk about the Big East’s strengths. They’re there and they’re quite significant and substantial. “I believe this conference has always had the ability to reinvent itself and become stronger. It’s had to do that a few times and it’s going to do it this time.” Debut From Page 6 without pebbles or ant hills — let alone thinking about getting to the World Series — is tough enough for Olaa team’s from Uganda. While baseball is an emerging sport in Uganda, it’s still not as popular as soccer. Some players may come from families who can’t afford shoes. But players in Uganda are also used to playing in bare feet, so much so that a couple Lugazi team members went without shoes for one of their first practices in South Williamsport. “They got here and they got brand new shoes and brand new bats,” manager Henry Odong said. “They’re very excited” they may have a future in baseball. Odong’s team isn’t the first team from Africa to qualify for the World Series, though it will be the first one to play in South Williamsport. A separate team from Kampala, Uganda was disqualified last year after the U.S. State Department denied visas because of discrepancies over players’ ages and birth dates But Uganda coach Richard Stanley said the problem had to do with a coach last year falsifying documents. Stanley, of New York, is a retired chemical engineer and part owner of the Trenton Thunder Double-A minor league baseball team that has donated about $2 million to establish a Little League program and build a baseball academy in Uganda. Stanley hopes the Lugazi team’s success will help draw more boys and girls into Little League baseball and softball, which he hopes will eventually will be a stepping stone to help children get scholarships and go to college. But that’s a goal for years down the road. For now, Olaa and his teammates plan to just enjoy the simple pleasure of playing baseball. Offense From Page 6 dation, and that is really all we did during the spring. They are starting to understand the scheme a bit more, and we are trying to give them things that are a little more complex.” The defense lost sack specialist Bruce Irvin along with four of the top seven tacklers from the unit that ranked next-to-last in the Big East in points allowed and last in rushing yards allowed. Defensive end Tyler Anderson and safety Karl Joseph could get their first starts, while Terence Garvin, who is coming off knee surgery, moves from strong safety to a linebacker spot. Most of the attention will be on Smith and his supporting cast. Back are his favorite targets, Tavon Austin (school-record 101 receptions) and Stedman Bailey (1,279 yards, 12 TDs, also records). Austin, a dangerous kick and punt returner, also led the nation last season with 2,574 all-purpose yards. Shawn Alston and Dustin Garrison hope to boost a running game that ranked 92nd in the Bowl Subdivision at 123 yards per game. Garrison missed the Orange Bowl and is coming off knee surgery. He led the Mountaineers with 742 rushing yards, while Alston had a team-high 12 rushing TDs. for the past 10 years.

Events will come forth that allow you to understand more emotionally and learn more intellectually. Your efforts to network and become more socially integrated seem to come through to others. If you are single, you meet people with ease. A friendship could be instrumental in making a romance happen. You could meet Mr. or Ms. Right through a friend. You could be quite excited about this person. If you are attached, be more sensitive to your sweetie. Remember, a relationship is made of two people who both need attention. Another LEO can match you. He or she makes quite a competitor. 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. You discover just how much someone cares, as this person spontaneously decides to express his or her affection. The end result will be that you are beaming from ear to ear. Your attitude is contagious. Tonight: Be authentic. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Much goes on at home. Please note the many thoughts that race through your head. Be sure to do some comparison shopping before purchasing a big item. You have the tendency, and are in just the right mood, to go way overboard. Tonight: Order in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You tend to say the right words at the right time. A meeting with a group of friends proves to be a very exciting experience, as someone seems to be bouncing off the walls. Know that regardless of what happens, you will land on your feet if you stay open. Tonight: All smiles. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might decide to go off and buy this and that. You could have a great time, but the results could be problematic. Someone you look up to could be difficult right now, as he or she is so unpredictable. Tonight: Make your favorite meal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might hear news that results in hurt feelings. The person delivering this news does not intend the message to have that outcome. In fact, he or she is trying to demonstrate his or her caring and support. A meeting proves to be unusually supportive. Horoscope Tonight: Friends are full of fun and energy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might want to share more of yourself. The element of timing plays a role, and most likely, it is not clear when the best time is. A partner or friend surprises you with his or her actions. Go with the flow, and know that everything could change quickly. Tonight: Not to be found. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Emphasize what you want from a friendship. Ask for the support you want in a meeting. Clearly, others have difficulty anticipating what you want. Learn to express yourself more often and assume you have a receptive audience. Tonight: Where the action is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Take a stand quickly, and refuse to sell yourself short. You know what you want and in which direction you would like to head. In order to accomplish more of what you want, you will need to take the lead. Tonight: A must appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Look past the obvious when relating to a loved one or a child. What did he or she not say?

Healthy Leftwich no longer eyeing Pittsburgh exit LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — There was a time in Byron Leftwich’s career where being a backup quarterback — even on a Super Bowl contender — would not be enough. Those days are long gone. The 32-year-old Leftwich missed all of last season with a broken left arm suffered in a preseason game against Atlanta. It came on the heels of a knee injury in 2010 that limited him to one game. Leftwich threw for a touchdown in last week’s preseason opener against Philadelphia and also took a hit from Eagles defensive back Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie while scrambling out of trouble. The quarterback called it “no big deal.” Leftwich says adjusting to new offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s system is like learning a new language. He’s likely to get Cavs name Altman pro-personnel manager CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers have named Koby Altman their pro personnel manager. Altman spent the past two seasons as an assistant at Columbia. He will replace Wes Wilcox, who left the Cavs to join former Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry’s front office in Atlanta. Altman will be responsible for coordinating Cleveland’s domestic scouting, and he’ll assist general manager Chris Grant and vice president of basketball operations David Griffin with other personnel matters. The 29-year-old Altman has also worked extensively for USA Basketball. After playing at Middlebury College, Altman worked as a graduate assistant at Southern Illinois. Penn State to host national child sex abuse panel STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State University is holding a national child sex abuse conference as it seeks to rebound from the scandals involving former assistant football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky. The Child Sex Abuse Conference: Traumatic Impact, Prevention and Intervention will be held at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel on Oct. 29 and 30. Speakers will include Sugar Ray Leonard, a former professional and Olympic champion boxer, who has revealed he was abused as a child, and Elizabeth Smart, a Utah woman who was abducted from her home in 2002 at age 14 and sexually abused during her nine months in captivity. President Rodney Erickson says, “Penn State has made a commitment to becoming a leader in the research, prevention and treatment of child abuse.” Phoenix Suns sign veteran center Jermaine O’Neal PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns have signed 16-year NBA veteran Jermaine O’Neal. Length of the contract wasn’t disclosed. The 6-foot-11 O’Neal is expected to back up center Marcin Gortat, a role previously held by Robin Lopez, who has been traded. The 33-year-old center has career averages of 13.7 points and 7.4 rebounds. O’Neal was drafted 17th overall directly out of high school. Later, with the Indiana Pacers, he played in six consecutive All-Star games. He also played for Toronto, Miami and Boston. Early end to NBA ref’s supervised release denied NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge in New York has refused to allow an early end to supervised release for a former NBA referee who took money from a professional gambler. Former referee Tim Donaghy (DAHN’-uh-hee) argued he should be released early because of good conduct and because it’s difficult to find work while under court supervision. The judge denied the request Tuesday. Donaghy admitted taking thousands of dollars from a gambler for inside tips on games, including games he worked. The scandal tarnished the reputation of the league and raised questions about the integrity of its officiating. Donaghy pleaded guilty in 2008 to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce. He was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison camp and served 33 of 36 months of supervised release. His sentence ends Nov. 3. Nadal pulls out of US Open with knee injury NEW YORK (AP) — Rafael Nadal’s Grand Slam count will stay stuck at 11 for now, sidetracked by another knee problem. The third-ranked Spaniard withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday. Tendinitis has kept him out of action since his stunning loss at Wimbledon in late June. The injury already forced him out of the London Olympics, where he was supposed to defend his title and carry Spain’s flag in the opening ceremony. “I am very sad to announce that I am not ready to play the US Open in NY. Thanks to my fans for their support and specially, the new yorkers,” Nadal wrote on his Twitter account. Nadal is still only 26, but the withdrawals raise questions about the future of a player who has had recurring knee problems in the past. His 11 Grand Slam titles include a record seven on the red clay of the French Open, yet his hard-charging, hard-hitting style of play takes a toll on his body, particularly his knees. Roger Federer, in contrast, has played in every Grand Slam tournaGorassini-Guibbaud/Abaca Press/MCT photo ment since the start of 2000, a streak Spain’s Rafael Nadal defeats Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in their of 51 in a row. In 2009, Nadal missed Wimbledon Men’s Final Round at the French Open Tennis at Roland Garros because of aching knees shortly after Arena in Paris, France, Monday, June 11, 2012. falling in the round of 16 at the French Open — the only time in eight appearances he hasn’t won at Roland Garros. He was just the second men’s champion in 35 years to decline to defend his title at the All England Club. But Nadal eventually came back stronger than ever from that layoff. After failing to reach the final at the 2009 U.S. Open and 2010 Australian Open, he won the French to start a run of three straight major titles, capped by completing the career Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows. Nadal’s absence immediately leaves a trio of heavy favorites at the last Grand Slam event of the year: defending champion Novak Djokovic; fivetime U.S. Open winner and currently top-ranked Federer; and 2008 U.S. Open runner-up Andy Murray, who won the gold medal in singles at the London Games by beating Federer in the final. “My excitement is always the same when I am approaching any Grand Slam. Obviously it’s the biggest tournaments we have in sport,” Djokovic said after winning at the Western & Southern Open outside Cincinnati. “Yes, the fact is that tennis is going to lose a little bit because of Rafa not being there and playing, because he’s somebody that has made a history of this sport. We all know how good he is and how popular he is.” Nadal lost in the U.S. Open final to Djokovic last year, part of a stretch of three straight defeats to the Serb in championship matches at major tournaments. But he seemed to be closing the gap, and at Roland Garros in June, he beat Djokovic in the final for his record seventh title there. Then came the stunning loss at Wimbledon, and Nadal hasn’t played since. On June 28, 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol upset him in the second round at the All England Club. Shortly after that defeat, Nadal canceled a scheduled charity match against Djokovic in Spain, citing tendon problems in his left knee. He also pulled out of the hard-court warm-up tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati. The two-week U.S. Open begins play Aug. 27. “Rafa has informed us that he will not be ready to compete at the U.S. Open this year and has withdrawn from the tournament,” tournament director David Brewer said in a statement issued Wednesday. “We hope to see him back on the court soon and look forward to his return to New York next year.” Michael vs. LeBron? It’s a match made for video CHICAGO (AP) — Michael and Magic versus Kobe and LeBron? Sounds like a dream matchup, and it could be coming to a video game console near you. With USA Basketball and 2K Sports forming a partnership, fans can see what happens when the amazing 1992 Dream Team goes up against this year’s Olympic gold medal winner once NBA 2K13 hits the shelves this fall. Never mind that it’s not quite the real thing, more fuel is about to be added to the debate. Not that there really is a debate in Michael Jordan’s mind. “We’ll never know, but let’s talk about it,” Jordan said on a conference call. “I know Kobe (Bryant) said some things early on and I responded to those. The ‘92 Dream Team, I felt, was a more well-rounded basketball team.” It’s hard to argue, considering the 1992 Dream Team had Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird leading a group that is widely considered the greatest collection of talent ever assembled. That team included 11 future Hall of Famers, won its six Olympic games by an average of more than 43 points en route to the gold medal and never was challenged the way this year’s team was by Spain in the gold medal game, with the Americans squeezing out a 107-100 victory. Then again, that’s a testament to the global growth of the sport that the 1992 team spurred, leading to an influx of foreign talent in the NBA. The ‘92 team boasted arguably the greatest player of all time in Jordan and greatest point guard in Magic Johnson, not to mention Larry Bird and dominant centers in Patrick Ewing and David Robinson.

Throw in the fact that Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose missed the games, too, and the Americans weren’t quite fully loaded. Still, they brought plenty of ammunition to London, with LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Bryant leading the way. And even with some stars missing, there still was talk that this year’s team could be as good as the one that stormed through Barcelona two decades earlier. Bryant fueled the debate when he told reporters during training in Las Vegas they could take a game from the 1992 team if they met in their primes. Even though Bryant didn’t say the current stars would win a series, the comment drew sharp replies from members of the 1992 team. Jordan told The Associated Press back then that he “absolutely laughed” and said there’s “no comparison” which team is better. This time, he wasn’t quite as blunt. “I just felt like we had enough size that we could contend with the 2012 team,” Jordan said. “I think one of the things the 2012 team lacked was size. We probably would have attacked them from inside and outside, and our defense would have been pretty much solidified with the shot-blockers as well as perimeter defensive players. “I think those guys were much more athletic than maybe we were at that particular point, but I would like to think we were a little bit smarter and well-groomed about playing at that level of basketball. Honestly, I don’t think we would have had problems with them as much as they probably would have “The Red Carpet Treatment” Serving SE Ohio & Bend Area Since 1986 Marty O’Bryant Owner 1-888-992-7090 1-740-992-7090 www.redcarpettreatment.org 3 Rooms Sofa, Loveseat Each Additional & Chair Room $3000 Cleaned* Add Hall or Bath* Cleaned* $ 95 $ $ 1000 109 14900 * Call Today for Details 60340848 had (with us). I think our team would have been a lot better in terms of all-around basketball.” There’s no way to know for sure, of course. There’s no time machine that can transport the 1992 team to today or the 2012 team back 20 years, so the video game might be the next best thing. If nothing else, it’ll give the debate another platform once the game is released on Oct. 2. The idea of seeing Jordan going against Kobe or James should intrigue fans, even if they’re the ones at the controls and the players are in graphic form. Right? The numbers indicate they would. Jason Argent, 2K Sports’ vice president of marketing, said he didn’t have the online statistics but the company sold about 5.5 million units of the 2K11 game, and another 4 million units for the 2K12 game, which was impacted by last season’s NBA lockout lockout. Even so, the company wasn’t planning to include the 1992 and 2012 U.S. teams. He said Jay-Z provided the push. The rapper and part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets is serving as the game’s executive producer, and he insisted in a meeting that those Olympic teams be included. He also helped get Charles Barkley to sign on and be included. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
