Late Monday morning, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and other Meigs County emergency personnel responded to a motorcycle accident on Rutherford Road near Ohio 32 in Columbia Township. According to a spokesperson for the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs post of OSP, the rider came in contact with a guardrail and was flown to a local trauma center for treatment of their injuries. The accident, which only involved the motorcycle, remains under investigation though the patrol said the last name of the person involved in the incident is McComas.

POMEROY – Hundreds of blues and jazz fans turned out for Saturday’s festivities at the 11th annual Big Bend Blues Bash featuring artists from across the country. While many of the fans enjoyed the music while relaxing in lawn chairs under umbrellas to protect them from the hot sun, others perched on the parking lot wall with a cool drink seeming not to mind the heat at all. Besides the crowd on the parking lot near the stage area, about three dozen boats docked at the levee so occupants could enjoy the music. While most lounged in deck chairs, some took a swim in the river to cool off. The crowd seemed a little light early Saturday afternoon, but then when the sun began to set the fans began to pour in and everyone began having a swingin’ good time on a packed parking lot. Saturday night bands included favorites among blues fans, like the Eric Jorardi Band, the Johnny Rawls Revue, and Bryan Lee, the Braillie Blues Daddy.

Walter Heinz said the happiest day of his ordained priesthood was that day in 1989 when he left Steubenville for Pomeroy. Father Heinz had enjoyed his ministry at St. Anthony’s Church in Steubenville, and other parishes throughout the Steubenville diocese, but he looked forward to serving in a small country parish, once again. Now, 22 years later, Rev. Heinz is saying goodbye to his last parish. He will leave the Sacred Heart rectory and Meigs County this weekend for a brief stay in Woodsfield, before moving to his Florida retirement home. Saturday, Rev.

Reed/photo) POMEROY — At its most recent meeting, the Meigs County Commission also held a public hearing to vacate some streets in the small ‘burb of Millersburg in Bedford Township. After actually viewing the area last week, Commissioners Tom Anderson and Tim Ihle held a public hearing on the matter with County Engineer Eugene Triplett and Bedford Township Trustee Roger Zeigler in attendance, along with Clerk Gloria Kloes. Commissioners had just met with nearby landowners as well. With no objections in the hearing, Commissioners asked Triplett to draw up a description of the streets which the county will vacate, including Fifth, Fourth, third and an alley between Lee Lane and the Town Hall. Also discussed was preparing a deed which will allow the property to revert to the nearby property owners which have expressed interest in the streets and right-ofways - with this will also come with the property taxes. During the meeting, Commissioners also received a request to vacate TR 686 (Green Road) in Scipio Township. Another viewing and hearing will have to be held on this matter. Commissioners also authorized Triplett and Meigs County Emergency Management Agency Director Robert Byer to sign all documents and in ways act as the authorized agents relative to the Public Assistance Grant Programs from FEMA. Triplett said since parts of Meigs County were declared a disaster area by the heavy spring rains and flooding, this allows the county to receive federal money which will likely go to slip repair and possibly road patching. Also approved: $600 for phone repair and expenses into Meigs County Sheriff’s Office fund. There were $321,517.87 in bills approved. Also announced: At 8:30 a.m., Aug. 9, Commissioners have been invited to Family Health Care in Middleport. US Congressman Bill Johnson is also going to be attending and all are to view FHC’s existing and new facility of US 33. �Tuesday, August 2, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Gay marriage: awkward issue for some GOP hopefuls opposed. The result, according to political analysts from both major parties, is a dilemma for the leading GOP candidates, most of whom oppose same-sex marriage but tend to avoid raising the topic unless asked. "They see the polling — more and more Republicans are supporting gay marriage," said David Welch, a former research director for the Republican National Committee. "It puts them in an awkward position with the younger members of the party and also with independents whose votes you need to win." NEW YORK (AP) — Same-sex marriage might seem like a straightforward issue: You're for it or against it. Yet for the field of Republican presidential hopefuls, it's proving to be an awkward topic as public attitudes change and more states legalize gay unions, the latest being New York. Numerous recent polls suggest a slim majority of Americans now back gay marriage. Support is highest among Democrats, but is growing across the political spectrum even while religious conservatives — a key part of the GOP primary electorate — remain largely Richard Socarides, a former Clinton White House adviser on gay rights, said the political climate has changed rapidly and dramatically as leading Democrats celebrate the advent of gay marriage in New York and the imminent end of the ban on gays serving openly in the military under President Barack Obama. "It's now advantageous for Democrats to support gay rights, and a net negative for Republicans to oppose them," Socarides said. "It's become extremely complicated for many of the Republican candidates who are used to using anti-gay rhetoric as a way to gin up their base." Obama, though still not ready to endorse gay marriage, says he's "evolving" on the issue and is supporting a bill that would extend federal recognition to same-sex couples who marry in the six states that allow it. New Hampshire is among those six states and also home to the first Republican primary next winter. According to conservative activists in the state, none of the major GOP presidential candidates has yet taken a public position on the ongoing effort by some Republican legislators to repeal the 2009 state law legalizing same-sex marriage. Andy Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, predicted that most of the GOP contenders would continue trying to dodge the issue because of lukewarm public support for repeal. However, David Bates, one of the lawmakers pushing for the repeal, says he and his colleagues intend to put some heat on the GOP contenders by scheduling debate on the repeal bill in the weeks leading up to the primary. "We will be seeing to it that each candidate addresses it," Bates said. "They will not be able to duck it." In Iowa, where social conservatives are likely to play a key role in the GOP caucus next winter, two candidates — Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania — both signed a pledge denouncing same-sex marriage rights. Former governors Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty were among those refusing to sign the pledge, but both issued statements stressing that they favored limiting marriage to one-man, onewoman unions. Debt and spending deal picks up momentum in Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and congressional leaders worked Monday to align lawmakers from both parties behind their formula for averting a financial meltdown and halting the government's prolific spending habits. Despite resistance from both liberals and conservatives, momentum appeared to be building in support of the compromise deficitreduction plan. In an apparent show of confidence, leaders in the House said they planned to bring the plan to the floor for a vote Monday afternoon. Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, R-Calif., said there would be an hour of debate before moving to a vote. In the Senate, where one senator can hold up action, Majority Leader Harry Reid said he was hoping to get agreement to allow a vote Monday evening. "We need to send this to President Obama as soon as we can." A member of the Republican leadership in the Senate predicted at least 30 GOP votes. "Maybe 35 will support it in the end. There will be some who will pull back," Sen. Mike Crapo, the deputy Republican whip, told reporters, as climactic votes approached in both the House and Senate on the long-sought spending plan. Leaders in both chambers were meeting with their rank-and-file to promote the package, and President Barack Obama sent out a video message to sell Democrats on the plan. "This has been a long and messy process," he said. "As with any compromise, the outcome is far from satisfying." Obama was also doing debt-related tweeting. "The debt agreement makes a significant down payment to reduce the deficit — finding savings in both defense and domestic spending," he said in one. "We'll know over the next two to three hours," said House freshman Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., when asked if House Speaker John Boehner had the votes in the House, where conservatives have been more resistant to the compromise. Reid opened the day's session in the Senate by declaring the deal shows that the often-dysfunctional Senate can come together when it counts. "People on the right are upset, people on the left are upset, people in the middle are upset," he said. "It was a compromise." Crapo's assessment came as Vice President Joe Biden, who played an instrumental role in successful weekend efforts to hammer out an accord, went to Capitol Hill to sell the plan in separate meetings with House and Senate Democrats. Relief around the world was indisputable, with Asian shares on Monday enjoying one of the best sessions in weeks. The advance continued in Europe. Wall Street opened higher, but faltered on a report that a key manufacturing index had dropped sharply in July. Whatever momentum could be claimed for the deficit-reduction plan, Congress still has precious little time to avert a potentially devastating default on U.S. obligations. And there was little dispute that the endgame product contained plenty to offend lawmakers of both parties, and tea party sympathizers as well. Sen. John McCain conceded as much, saying he'd have to "swallow hard" to vote for it because of cuts in defense spending. But the Arizona Republican said lawmakers had little choice in the face of the specter of default. Credit raters have lobbying clout raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling could force them to lower the high-level AAA ratings that U.S. Treasury bonds have long held. Even with a tentative deal to avert default within reach, rating analysts could still slash U.S. credit values if they are dissatisfied with the details, a move that could shake the financial system. Critics worry about the potential for conflicts of interest posed by the firms' dual lobbying and rating roles. "It's pretty obvious that the current system is imperfect and has conflicts of interest built in," said David Dapice, an associate professor of economics at Tufts University. Dapice said he is skeptical that recent government reforms aimed at the industry will be effective. The three firms are the main movers of the rating industry, long relied on by investors and governments to evaluate the credit of businesses and nations. For decades, the WASHINGTON (AP) — The three major credit rating companies poised to decide whether to downgrade the nation's top-ranked debt standing are at the same time spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby the Obama administration and Congress over the way the government regulates them. Moody's, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's, along with S & P's parent company, McGraw-Hill, have spent a combined $1.76 million since January to lobby Congress and federal agencies, much of it aimed at new regulations. The rules are part of the massive Dodd-Frank overhaul of the financial industry that Congress passed last year, and federal agencies are still midway through rewriting many regulations to conform to the new law. Even as the rating companies lobbied, they have repeatedly warned that a failure by the White House and Congress to companies routinely gave the U.S. the highest debt rating, but their sudden hesitance has thrust the agencies front and center into the midst of the default crisis. Any downgrade of U.S. credit could spur a mass sale of Treasury bonds and undercut the government's ability to inexpensively fund its operations. That fear, critics warn, should not be on the minds of federal officials as they make decisions on how to regulate the ratings industry. Rating industry officials and lobbyists counter that the companies are exercising their right to weigh in on a wave of legislation targeting them in recent years — first, for failing to warn about the 2001 collapse of the Enron energy company and then for missing mortgage banking abuses that led to the deep 2008 recession. Executives also say that strong internal reviews and firewalls ensure the soundness of their ratings and insulate their analysts from their Washington dealings. None of the lobbying firms would discuss their work, but one top lobbyist working for Moody's dismissed the notion that rating agencies' pending decisions on U.S. credit would bleed into their dealings with the government. "You have to operate on the premise that over time, the accuracy of their evaluations will show that the process is above board," said Vic Fazio, a former California congressman and a senior lobbyist at Washingtonbased Akin-Gump. In testimony last week to a House committee, senior executives from S& P and Moody's said their rating decisions are buttressed by the growing use of internal review panels, conflict-of-interest scrutiny and rotation of analysts. Deven Sharma, S&P's president, noted the firm's "added checks and balances," while senior Moody's executive Michael Rowan touted his company's "bolstering measures to mitigate conflicts of interest." Moody's would not comment on its lobbying, but McGraw Hill, S&P's parent, and Fitch both assured that their internal corporate walls prevent any conflicts. "There is a strict firewall that separates the two. Always has been, always will be," said McGraw-Hill spokeswoman Patti Rockenwagner. Daniel Noonan, a Fitch spokesman, said his firm "sometimes utilizes lobbyists, but such corporate matters are completely separate from and have zero influence upon our analytical groups that assign ratings." Some former industry officials have questioned whether those internal measures are effective. In testimony to the House Oversight Committee in 2009, former Moody's Investors Service managing director Eric Kolchinsky said that compliance groups set up to deal with con- flicts were often understaffed and inexperienced. David Wyss, former chief economist at S&P and now a visiting fellow at Brown University, said his former firm tried hard to minimize conflicts. But "there's no way to have a complete firewall unless you keep people from reading the newspaper." Federal lobbying records show lobbying by McGraw-Hill, Moody's and Fitch has grown steadily since the mid-2000s as their ratings operations have come under increasing federal scrutiny. In 2005, the three firms spent more than $2.1 million total on lobbying. By 2010, it was $3.6 million. Much of the lobbying has been defensive. The Credit Rating Reform Act of 2006, passed in the wake of the Enron collapse, strengthened Securities and Exchange Commission authority over the companies' qualifications and records.

FEMA assistance over in two weeks COLUMBUS – The deadline is nearing for State agencies, local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations in 21 designated counties, including Meigs and Gallia, to apply for federal aid to help offset expenses related to emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by flooding April 4-May 15. Officials in the following designated counties –Adams, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Clermont, Gallia, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton, and Washington counties –have until Aug. 12 to submit a Request for Public Assistance (RPA) form to the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (Ohio EMA). President Obama's July 13 disaster declaration authorized federal assistance after the series of flooding events that occurred in April and May. Applicants must submit RPA forms within 30 days of the date of designation of the area. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Ohio EMA are partnering to help eligible applicants. "We want to ensure that resources are allocated to every agency that is eligible," said Mike Lapinski, federal coordinating officer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "State and local officials can speed up the recovery process by submitting their applications before the Aug. 12 deadline." FEMA's Public Assistance program pays 75 percent of eligible costs. The state of Ohio is contributing 12.5 percent of the 25% percent non-federal share to eligible political subdivisions and the applicant is responsible for the remaining 12.5 percent balance. To date, 151 state agencies, local governments and private nonprofits have submitted Requests for Public Assistance. For more information or questions on eligibility, contact your local County EMA director. FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. A S K D R . B RO T H E R S Girlfriend is competitive about babies Dear Dr. Brothers: I have a girlfriend I have known forever. She was competitive about cheerleading in high school, and she is competitive about our babies, who are only two months apart! She is always comparing her son’s “developmental age” and “readiness skills” to my child’s, and she reads tons of baby books that I just don’t have the time or interest to deal with. I just like to play with my baby and let him go at his own speed, while she’s all into educational stuff. Am I wrong? — C.G. Dear C.G.: It is doubtful that you’re doing anything to harm your baby’s development if you are playing with him and letting him progress with things at his own speed. In fact, that sounds like a very good plan to me! It’s really hard to force infants and toddlers to do things they aren’t ready to do or are not interested in doing, so while we always need to work on socialization and focus on teachable moments, our kids need plenty of downtime to simply explore their world from a safe home base. They are constantly soaking up experiences, and just because they aren’t being exposed to flashcards or computer games (which probably are bad ideas for babies anyway), it doesn’t mean they aren’t learning a lot on a daily basis.

While the FBI won't reveal details, agents say he used a form of steganography, the art of hiding messages within other messages. But it was no match for the agency's digital forensics specialists, who cracked Ouazzani's code. He pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to help a terrorist network and faces up to 65 years in federal prison. Elsewhere, FBI digital evidence specialists proved a truck driver was streaming pornography on his laptop when he plowed into a car on a New York freeway, killing a woman. They also helped convict high-profile defendants like former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and top Enron executives. In an age when the biggest cases can often hinge on the smallest pieces of evidence, some bits no bigger than a fingernail-sized microchip, the FBI's Regional Computer Forensics Laboratories are fast becoming crucial law enforcement tools. Last year, the agency's 14 labs and their 244 examiners, including 155 from state and local agencies, processed more than 3,000 terabytes of information — the equivalent of 3 million copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica. They also examined more than 75,000 pieces of digital media, including 339 smart phones, 248 digital cameras and more than 57,000 hard drives. Agents have even found child pornography hidden on Xbox 360 game devices. "Our entire lives are digitally connected. Everything we do involves a computer," said John Dziedzic, director of the FBI's Chicago lab. "Everything you can possibly think of is recording some type of data." And he said practically everyone these days, even criminals, uses some sort of digital media, be it a smart phone, a computer or digital camera, and destroying the device often does nothing to get rid of evidence. FBI examiners have successfully retrieved crucial data from computers that have been set on fire, tossed into lakes, shot with guns and smashed to pieces. FBI examiners can recover files that have been deleted or encrypted and can crack passwords with tools that bombard a hard drive with 500 million guesses per second. "Eventually we'll break it," Dziedzic said. "Think about what a cell phone contained 10 years ago. It might have had a call log and 10 names in the contact book. Now they're mini-PCs," said Mike Jensen, head of the agency's 15,000-squarefoot Salt Lake City lab, which serves law enforcement in Utah, Idaho and Montana. "There's always something new coming through the door and we have to roll with it and learn as we go." To keep abreast, law enforcement agencies have been rolling out various high-tech tools, including biometric identification systems to speed up fingerprint matches, facial recognition software and citywide cameras to monitor crime. A Utah police chief hopes to add a 52-foot-long unmanned blimp to his force that will stream live video and serve as a crimefighting eye-in-the-sky. Already in his arsenal are 200 surveillance cameras scanning the city 24/7.

This is long enough for liberals to feel safe making him their pet Republican. In their telling, Reagan raised the debt ceiling 18 times, passed tax increases, negotiated with the Soviets and then pretty much called it a day, adjourning to share a friendly after-hours drink with his bosom buddy, Democratic House Speaker Tip O'Neill. These heterodoxies would get him ostracized in today's Republican party, proving that the GOP has been hijacked by dangerous extremists. Needless to say, that's what they called Reagan and his supporters back when the Gipper was alive and governing. Beyond their obvious opportunism, though, the newly minted Reagan nostalgics of the Left have a point: Reagan didn't get everything he wanted, and he had to compromise. This isn't a telling polemical point so much as a banality, a truism about any leader in a robust democratic society. Reagan inevitably had to make choices. Confronting a Democratic House, he could cut taxes and fund a defense build-up, or try to balance the budget. He had the right priorities; the economic growth he fostered and victory in the Cold War made the budget surpluses of the 1990s possible. As for raising taxes, Reagan acceded to a big tax increase in 1982 only after a historic, much larger cut in 1981. He gave a little back after finding a shift in the political climate on Capitol Hill too difficult to resist. (He later regretted surrendering, since the budget cuts promised in exchange for the tax hike never materialized.) With the Soviets, 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 Rich Lowry he only negotiated when he knew he had a position of strength. These moves were the zigs and the zags of Reagan pursuing his highest goals of fundamentally lower taxes, a freer economy and the defeat of the Soviet Union. Some conservatives make the opposite mistake by ignoring Reagan's adept maneuvering, as if the only ingredient to his success was maintaining the right convictions. Few on the Left considered these goals reasonable at the time. They seem so common-sensical now because Reagan effected them, against the pitched resistance of his adversaries and the contempt of polite opinion. Reagan changed the definition of "reasonable." The liberals' hankering for Reagan is only possible when they abstract him from the context of his times and focus on his pragmatic tactics to the exclusion of his fixed ideological goals. Some conservatives make the opposite mistake by ignoring Reagan's adept maneuvering, as if the only ingredient to his success was maintaining the right convictions. Both sides, then, tend to misunderstand the wellsprings of Reagan's achievement. Having grand goals is easy, if you don't care much about reaching them. Cutting deals is easy, if you don't care much about where they take you. Knowing how to accommodate reality, when to give way and when to stand firm, while never deviating from your ultimate purposes is the stuff of statesmanship. When such statesmanship is in the service of transformative and noble ends, it deserves honor for all time. It is what defines a Reagan or a Lincoln. The Great Emancipator's later career was partly devoted to the perilous work of slowly pushing the envelope of public opinion toward the abolition of slavery. The abolitionists hated his compromises and caution. He, in turn, hated their selfrighteous purity. But both the abolitionist agitation and the shrewd political leadership were indispensable to changes unimaginable on the cusp of the Civil War. Lincoln called radicals in his party "the unhandiest devils in the world to deal with -but after all their faces are set Zionward." The Tea Partiers in Congress will have to make their own bows to statesmanship. If David Gergen is ever on CNN praising them for their supposed responsibility, they might as well not have come to Washington in the first place. They should never become house-broken. On the other hand, they can't let tactics become destructive to their ends, or oppose anything that doesn't meet a test of absolute purity. The road to Zion is always frustrating and winding.

I’m leaving town soon.” The well-known priest will be missed by everyone who knew him and volunteered with him, prayed with him and relied on him. But the void in the community will be nothing compared to that felt in the 200family parish that serves Meigs County’s Roman Catholic faithful. His congregation honored him with a reception last month, and Sunday, at his last regular Mass, there was hardly a dry eye in the 100 year-old Gothic church. Another reception, with hugs and photo-taking, followed the Sunday service. Rev. Timothy Kozak arrived in Pomeroy Sunday, and Heinz plans to spend his final days in town assisting his successor. Local History Fact: Pomeroy is the county seat of Meigs County, Ohio. The first settler, probably Nathaniel Clark, arrived in 1816. The town was named for Samuel Wyllis Pomeroy, who was an early resident of the community. Although Meigs County was formed in 1819, Pomeroy did not become the county seat until 1841.

Ohio was No. 2 in last year’s survey of students nationwide. The campus in Athens, about 65 miles southeast of Columbus, has made the party school list 12 times since 1997, but has never before reached the top. Rounding out the top five this year were No. 3 University of Mississippi, No. 4 University of Iowa and No. 5 University of California Santa Barbara. The Princeton Review survey is part of its 2012 edition of “The Best 376 Colleges,” which includes 61 other rankings in categories such as best professors (Wellesley College in Massachusetts), most beautiful campus (Florida Southern College) best campus food (Wheaton College in Illinois) and highest financial aid satisfaction (Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania). Brigham Young University in Utah tops the list of stone-cold sober schools for the 14th straight year. Ohio University’s party reputation has long vexed administrators at the riverside school of about 20,000 students, and policies have been beefed up over the years in an attempt to reduce student drinking. Among efforts are strong anti-drinking messages at freshmen orientations, tougher penalties on students for alcohol violations and added surveillance during the Halloween street party, which is not sanctioned by the university. “We take seriously our responsibility to help our students succeed in all facets of their experience, including addressing high-risk behavior,” Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi said in a statement Monday. “We are disappointed in the party school ranking as it is not indicative of the overall experience of Ohio students and does not match the data we have collected.” In formal complaints regarding violations of Ohio’s student code of conduct, about 60 percent are listed as alcohol-related in recent academic years, according to statistics posted online by the University Judiciaries, the school’s disciplinary division. In 2010-2011, 1,213 complaints, making up 59 percent of the total, involved alcohol, the numbers show. The Halloween revelry dates to the 1970s and typically attracts at least 20,000 people to downtown Athens streets. Arrests and citations during the party, mostly for alcohol and disorderly conduct violations, have at times reached more than 200 in recent years. The event spun out of control in 2003, when thenAthens Police Chief Rick Mayer called the bash “the worst event to date” after rioting partiers lit couches on fire, started fights and threw bottles at officers and firefighters. Besides the party list, Ohio also lands in the top 20 in several other Princeton Review categories this year, including lots of beer and lots of hard liquor, as well as best athletic facilities, most beautiful campus and major fraternity and sorority scene. The guide’s rankings are based on email surveys voluntarily filled out by 122,000 students at more than 370 colleges across the country. On average, about 325 students from each campus respond, and university administrators often call the rankings unscientific and say they glorify dangerous behavior. The Princeton Review, not affiliated with Princeton University, is a Massachusetts-based company known for its test preparation courses educational services and books. It has put out its best colleges guide since 1992. The nation’s top party schools and top stone-cold sober schools, according to Princeton Review’s survey of 122,000 students: Party schools 1.

TUESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �Tuesday, August 2, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A8 www.mydailysentinel.com Stallings becomes latest rookie to win on PGA Tour Colts re-sign Manning WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Needing a birdie on the 168-yard 18th hole to get into a playoff at the Greenbrier Classic, Scott Stallings remembered the approach shot he hit from the same distance back on No. 11. Same club. Same result. He sent a 9-iron shot 5 feet from the pin on the final hole and made the putt, joining Bill Haas and Bob Estes in sudden death tied at 10-under par Sunday on the Old White TPC course. Luckily for Stallings, the playoff headed right back to the 18th. Another 9 iron. Another pin-seeker. The PGA Tour rookie curled in a 7-foot putt after Haas and Estes missed their birdie tries, giving the 26-year-old Stallings his first tour win and securing his spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs. “When Bob missed, I was kind of shocked a little bit and had to regroup and stand over it where I knew I had a chance to win,” Stallings said. “I was tired. It’s been a long week. It’s been an emotional week. I just closed my eyes right before, when I was reading the putt, and just took a deep breath and visualized the ball going in the hole. “After the ball went I don’t really know what happened. Everything is kind of a blur.” So much for visualization. For the record, he flipped his putter after the putt dropped, highfived and hugged his caddie, collected the tournament trophy, the winner’s jacket and a $1.08 million check. The prize was nice, but Stallings was more excited about moving from 88th to 26th on the FedEx Cup points list. lead, he made bogey. Heading to the 18th tee in regulation, all Stallings could think about was that shot on No. 11. “Repetition and visualization is something I work with my coach and my sports psychologist really well on,” Stallings said. “I hit a great shot on 11, hit it in there about four or five feet and made a birdie. My caddie said, ‘I want to see that same one.’” That he got, not once, but twice. In just its second year, the Greenbrier Classic produced another dramatic finish. Stuart Appleby shot 59 in last year’s final round, including a birdie on the last hole to beat Jeff Overton by a stroke. The course was lengthened more than 200 yards for this year’s tournament and the greens were reseeded and firm, giving some golfers fits. Even Stallings, who overcame his early blunders to become the sixth rookie to win on tour this year. It secured a spot for him in this week’s Bridgestone Invitational. Estes and Haas each earned $528,000. Haas got his fourth top-10 finish of the season and improved to 12th in the FedEx standings. The 45-year-old Estes missed out on his first tour win since 2002 and fifth overall. Estes sat out the first three months of the year because of a wrist injury and was playing in just his seventh tournament. “I felt like I did everything exactly right,” Estes said. “I just didn’t make the birdie putt on 18.” Jimmy Walker (68), Andres Romero (65), Brendon de Jonge (66), Cameron Tringale (67) and Gary Woodland (69) finished at 9 under. AP Photo/Steve Helber Scott Stallings reacts to sinking a winning putt on the first playoff hole to win the Greenbrier Classic PGA golf tournament at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., Sunday. The top 125 qualify for the playoffs starting in late August. A native of Worcester, Mass., and die-hard Red Sox fan, he’ll likely realize one of his biggest goals to play in the Deutsch Bank Championship, the second stop in the FedEx Cup playoffs outside of Boston. The top 100 in the points standings after the Barclays, the first playoff stop, will qualify. All this seemed implausible halfway through the final round, when Stallings seemingly had played himself out of contention. He started the day one shot out of the lead, but four bogeys in the first nine holes had dropped him to 5 under. At No. 10, caddie Josh Graham starting ribbing Stallings about his wayward tee shots. “’Finally, we’re going to hit the fairway,’” Stallings recalled Graham saying. “I said, ‘I promise, I promise we can play better from the fairway,’” Stallings replied. “He said, ‘We’re going to get back to even par and we’re going to have an opportunity to win the tournament.’” Graham reiterated that theme throughout the back nine, and Stallings responded with six birdies. However, Stallings’ group waited a half-hour on the par-5 17th tee and he hit his drive into the water and had to take a penalty stroke. Instead of going after the outright to long-term deal INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning has a new long-term deal in time to report to training camp. He still hasn’t been cleared to practice. Colts owner Jim Irsay said he was “thrilled” to sign the only four-time MVP in league history to a deal that will likely keep him in Indianapolis for the rest of his career. It’s a five-year contract for $90 million with $69 million of that paid in the first three years, Irsay posted on his Twitter account. “Signing Peyton was a top priority for this organization and we are thrilled that the deal is complete,” Irsay said in a statement released by the team Saturday. “We feel that it is a salary cap friendly deal and it allows us more flexibility.” Irsay and team president Bill Polian are scheduled to discuss the deal at a Sunday afternoon news conference. The deal comes nearly five months after the team used the exclusive franchise tag to prevent Manning from negotiating with any other teams. Had Manning signed the oneyear offer, he would have made $23.1 million this season. By getting the long-term deal done, Manning’s salary cap number will be reduced this season to $16 million, Irsay wrote, allowing the team to sign more of its own free agents. The Colts have already re-signed two key veterans — safety Melvin Bullitt and kicker Adam Vinatieri — this week. They also lost linebacker Clint Session to Jacksonville in free agency. They reportedly also signed running back Joseph Addai, shortly after Manning’s deal was announced. Addai would be a major help because he’s the best blocking back Indy has. That leaves left tackle Charlie Johnson and defensive tackle Dan Muir as the next big ticket items. They still have not signed their first three draft picks, either, tackles Anthony Castonzo and Ben Ijalana or defensive tackle Drake Nevis. “It’s a credit 2 Peyton;he put Coltfans,teammates, Ind. n winning ahead of all else,” Irsay wrote on Twitter. The deal should ensure Manning arrives in camp on time. Coach Jim Caldwell said Friday he expected Manning to be at camp if he was signed. But Manning will not practice because he’s continuing to rehabilitate from neck surgery he had in May. It was the second since March 2010 that he had neck surgery. Caldwell also said Friday he did not expect Manning to practice, and the team announced Saturday it will put Manning on the physically unable to perform list, preventing him from practicing until he is removed from the list. Because it is the preseason, he could be removed from the list at any time and return to practice. On Friday night, he told The Indianapolis Star that he had instructed agent Tom Condon to complete the deal by Sunday at the latest. And after months of Irsay promising to make Manning the highest-paid player in league history, surpassing the annual average salary of $18 million that Tom Brady agreed to in September. Manning also said he didn’t have to have the title. On Saturday, the two sides finally came to terms on a deal that will continue to make Manning the highest-paid player in franchise with a caveat — that the team can hopefully keep some of Manning’s teammates under contract, too.

The wide receiver made the most of getting the opportunity Sunday under new coach Pat Shurmur while three key receivers sat out. Josh Cribbs missed the second half of drills, his left knee wrapped in ice. Mohamed Massaquoi still had his right foot in a cast. Tight end Ben Watson watched after sustaining a concussion Saturday. Shurmur said it all means that Little will get a chance in the new West Coast offense. “When the lines get shorter, guys get more reps and it helps them,” Shurmur said. “If you can handle it, the more you do, the better you get. He’s getting more.” Cribbs said his knee was strained when a defensive back landed on his leg and that he didn’t GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) — The Bengals have agreed on a one-year deal with running back Cedric Benson, who was an unrestricted free agent but wanted to stay in Cincinnati. Coach Marvin Lewis says he’s happy to hear the news. Benson has been the Bengals’ leading rusher since 2008. He worked out with the rest of the team in Cincinnati in June even though he was a free agent, showing how much he wanted to stay. Benson was arrested in July on a misdemeanor charge of assaulting his former roommate in Texas. He could face discipline from Commissioner Roger Goodell. The Bengals need a dependable running game as they transition to rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and an inexperienced group of receivers. BROWNS ADD 2 PLAYERS BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have signed free agent defensive end Jayme Mitchell and completed their trade with St. Louis for offensive guard John Greco. Mitchell was acquired by the Browns in a trade last season from Minnesota, but the 6-foot6, 285-pounder was not activated for 12 games by coach Eric Mangini. This year, new coach Pat Shurmur intends to start Mitchell at left end. He was originally signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2006. Greco, acquired for an undisclosed 2012 draft pick, started four games in three seasons for the Rams. He spent last season with Shurmur, who was St. Louis’ offensive coordinator before being hired by the Browns. Also, first-round draft pick Phil Taylor missed his third practice Monday in a contract holdout. BENGALS’ LB MUCKELROY SAYS HE INJURED ACHILLES’ GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) — Bengals linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy says he ruptured an Achilles’ tendon during the first practice of training camp and will be out for the season. Muckelroy tweeted after Saturday night’s practice that he had sustained the injury, which the team declined to confirm. “My season over b4 it could even start!” he tweeted. “I’m a strong person though I can get pass this hard spot in life (hash)56 for life!” Muckelroy was a fourthround draft pick from Texas last year. He played in 14 games last season, mostly on special teams, and ranked second in special teams tackles. Several players developed cramps on the humid evening. No other severe injuries were reported. BROWNS SIGN KICKER DAWSON, DRAFT PICKS BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have signed several players including kicker Phil Dawson, seven of their eight draft picks and 21 undrafted free agents. Unrestricted free agents Brandon Jackson, a running back from Green Bay and defensive back Usama Young of New Orleans also were among the signings announced Saturday before new coach Pat Shurmur held his longawaited first practice. Signing tenders were Dawson as a franchise player, tight end Evan Moore as a restricted free agent and linebacker Marcus Benard and defensive lineman Brian Schaefering as rights players. Offensive lineman Billy Yates also re-signed. The only unsigned draft pick remaining is No. 1 Phil Taylor, a defensive lineman from Baylor. think the injury was too serious. Shurmur said Watson would miss a few days, but Massaquoi declined comment on his injury. Shurmur was pleased other than first-round draft pick Phil Taylor remaining unsigned. The defensive lineman from Baylor was taken 21st. Later, the team announced they had resigned unrestricted free agent defensive lineman Derreck Robinson. He had 24 tackles in 14 games a year ago. The move adds another option on the line if Taylor stays out. “When a player is not on the field for any reason, as coaches, you have to treat it like he had an ankle injury and the next guy’s up,” Shurmur said. “We need to focus on working with guys that are here. You find a way to catch them up when they get here. We’ll fight our fannies off to get him caught up.” Little is moving up. He showed little rust from a layoff that was much longer than the 41/2month NFL lockout endured by others. The 59th pick in the 2011 draft missed all of last season at North Carolina after being declared ineligible by the NCAA because of improper dealings with an agent. That was the start of big problems for former Browns coach Butch Davis, who got fired last week at the school. Little said Davis helped him a lot and told him nothing but good things about Cleveland. “He was part of some things that he couldn’t control,” Little said, adding he was surprised by the firing because he thought Davis had the program on a winning track. “He told me about how great the fans are in Cleveland, and he was right. To have this type of showing at a practice kind of gives you that game vibe. You want to step up and produce. It’s fun.” Little did that Sunday in front of a few hundred onlookers, earning cheers early by making a nice catch on a down-and-out pattern. Playing in a similar offense with the Tar Heels two years ago should benefit him with the Browns. “I think just coming from a prostyle West Coast offense in college has helped me tremendously,” Little said. Working out with quarterback Colt McCoy and other veterans at the unofficial “Camp Colt” held by players during the lockout was a great learn- Agent: Randy Moss retiring from NFL MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — Randy Moss is calling it a career after 13 seasons in the NFL as one of the most dynamic and polarizing players the league has ever seen. Moss’s agent, Joel Segal, said Monday that the receiver was considering offers from several teams, but made the decision to retire. Segal declined to comment specifically on the offers, instead saying his 34-year-old client felt the time was right to step away. “Randy has weighed his options and considered the offers and has decided to retire,” Segal said. If this indeed is the end for Moss, he leaves the game with some of the gaudiest statistics ever posted by a receiver. His 153 touchdowns are tied with Terrell Owens for second on the career list, and he’s also fifth in yards (14,858) and tied with Hines Ward for eighth in receptions (954). Those numbers, and his status as perhaps the best deep threat in NFL history, will make him a strong candidate for the Hall of Fame. But voters will also be weighing those numbers and his six Pro Bowl seasons against a history of boorish behavior and a penchant for taking plays off when he lost interest in the game. His career started with seven electric seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before he went dormant for two years in Oakland. He re-emerged as a force with the New England Patriots in 2007, hauling in a single-season record 23 TD passes from Tom Brady to help the Patriots reach the Super Bowl. Moss was traded back to the Vikings in October of last season, but the celebrated reunion lasted just four weeks. Fed up with his petulant behavior, Vikings coach Brad Childress cut Moss in November, a stunning move that played a role Jerry Holt/Minneapolis Star Tribune/MCT Minnesota Vikings Randy Moss celebrates with Vikings fan Syd Davy. The Vikings defeated the Cowboys, 24-21, at Mall of America Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday, October 17, 2010. in the coach’s dismissal a few weeks later. Moss finished the season with eight games in Tennessee, but made little impact with the Titans. Segal said earlier this summer that the receiver was training hard and determined to prove to the doubters that he could still dominate the game like he had in the past. “Randy has been a great player for a long time,” said Bob Pruett, Moss’ college coach at Marshall. “He’s choosing this on his own terms and I think that’s good. If that’s what he wants to do, that’s what he should do.” Throughout his career, Moss earned the reputation as one of the most dangerous players in the game, when he wanted to be. His combination of size, speed and intelligence has rarely been seen for a player at his position, and he deserves some credit for the influx of Cover 2 defenses throughout the NFL that were designed in large part to prevent Moss from burning them down the field. Trouble off the field in high school prevented Moss from attending Notre Dame or Florida State, so he landed at Marshall and scored 54 touchdowns in two electrifying seasons with the Thundering Herd. The off-field questions hurt Moss in the 1998 draft. He fell to the Vikings at pick No. 21 and he spent the next seven years making every GM in the league who passed on him regret it. He scored 17 touchdowns as a rookie to help the Vikings reach the NFC title game and only once failed to score at least 10 TDs in a season in his first tour with the team. He also got into several controversies along the way, bumping a traffic cop in downtown Minneapolis, squirting a referee with a water bottle during a game and leaving the field early in a game against Washington, just to name a few. Sensing a change of scenery was needed, the Vikings traded Moss to Oakland in 2005, where he spent two quiet seasons before his career was revived in New England. Vikings fans were euphoric at the news of his return last season, but things soured in a hurry. He caught 13 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns in four games back in purple, clashed with Childress in the locker room and turned some teammates off with his poor treatment of a team caterer toward the end of his run. He hugged former Patriots teammates after a Vikings loss, and then bizarrely stepped to a podium to fawn over the Patriots, criticize the Vikings for ignoring his strategic advice, and announce his plan to interview himself the rest of the season instead of letting reporters do it. Next stop, Tennessee, where he caught just six passes in eight games. Bengals reach agreement with CB Clements GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) — The Bengals have reached a contract agreement with free agent cornerback Nate Clements, giving themselves a replacement for Johnathan Joseph. The 31-year-old Clements became a free agent on Thursday, when San Francisco released the 10-year veteran. Clements was Buffalo’s first-round pick in 2001 out of Ohio State and played for the Bills through 2006. He was the 49ers’ top defensive signing in March 2007. Clements started 16 games last season and had one sack and three interceptions. “He’s been a great cover corner,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “He just wanted to get in a situation where he felt good and comfortable. I’m glad it worked out the way it did. He wanted to make sure he wasn’t — as he termed it — going to play some place that was rebuilding. He wanted to be a piece that could push everything over the top.” The Bengals needed another cornerback after Joseph signed with Houston earlier in the week. They didn’t have a replacement for Joseph on the roster, and weren’t sure who would be available to team with cornerback Leon Hall. Lewis said Clements, who turns 32 in December, is known for keeping in top shape. “Anybody that’s ever spent any time around Nate talks about his professionalism and preparation and everything that way,” Lewis said. “You watch him play and you see how smart a player he is. So I think that will be fine. That’s not been an issue.” ing experience, too. “That was so empowering for me to be part of that,” Little said. “I think that helped the camaraderie a lot. To start getting the terminology and get some reps in, it was good.” Little’s straightforward approach and eagerness to learn have made an impression. “Guys that are playmakers have a lot of confidence in their ability,” Shurmur said. “He takes in coaching. One of the first things we talk about is being coachable, being able to stand there and listen. He’s got skill. He’s got ability.” Little wasn’t ready to make any bold statements. “It’s Day 2, man,” he said. “I’m just trying to make plays. If you study your craft, your playbook, when you come out here, it is like a review session. I just try to get better every day, improve myself in becoming a professional.” Indians send Orlando Cabrera to Giants CINCINNATI (AP) — The World Series champion San Francisco Giants made another trade in their push to return to the playoffs, acquiring veteran infielder Orlando Cabrera from Cleveland on Saturday. On Thursday, San Francisco acquired slugging outfielder Carlos Beltran from the New York Mets for pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. Giants general manager Brian Sabean has been busy again, just as he was in making a handful of risky moves last summer and late in the 2010 season that paid off with the franchise’s first championship since moving West in 1958. The 36-year-old Cabrera is joining his ninth team since 2004. He is expected to take over as San Francisco’s regular shortstop with Miguel Tejada on the disabled list until at least Thursday with a lower abdominal strain. “He is a proven winner,” manager Bruce Bochy said of Cabrera. “With Miguel, one of our shortstops going down, we felt like we needed an experienced shortstop who could go out there every day. He was available. It worked out well for us.” Minutes after their dramatic 5-2 win over the Kansas City Royals, the Indians announced they had dealt Cabrera in exchange for Triple-A outfielder Thomas Neal. It was the smaller of two trades pulled off by the Indians the night before the non-waiver trade deadline, though they had yet to confirm a swap for Colorado Rockies right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez. The ace was pulled from a start in San Diego and said he was heading to the Indians. Cabrera batted .244 with four home runs and 38 RBIs in 91 games for Cleveland. He scored the tying run as a pinch runner against the Royals. The 23-year-old Neal hit .295 with two homers and 25 RBIs in 60 games at Triple-A Fresno. He went on the disabled list with a left hand bruise July 17. The Giants value Cabrera as much for his pedigree as they do for his ability, Bochy said. The 15-year veteran has made six trips to postseason, including last year, when he helped the Reds to their first division championship and postseason appearance in 15 years. He left after the season and signed as a free agent with the Indians. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
