Not in my backyard: US sending dirty coal abroad

BY DINA CAPPIELLOAssociated Press

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — As the Obama administration weans the U.S. off dirty fuels blamed for global warming, energy companies have been sending more of America’s unwanted energy leftovers to other parts of the world where they could create even more pollution.

This fossil fuel trade threatens to undermine President Barack Obama’s strategy for reducing the gases blamed for climate change and reveals a little-discussed side effect of countries acting alone on a global problem. The contribution of this exported pollution to global warming is not something the administration wants to measure, or even talk about.

“This is the single biggest flaw in U.S. climate policy,” said Roger Martella, the former general counsel at the Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush. “Although the administration is moving forward with climate change regulations at home, we don’t consider how policy decisions in the United States impact greenhouse gas emissions in other parts of the world.”

Over the past six years, American energy companies have sent more coal than ever before to other parts of the world, in some cases to places with more lax environmental standards.

The consequence: This global shell game makes the U.S. appear to be making more progress than it is on global warm-ing. That’s because it shifts some pollution — and the burden for cleaning it up — onto other countries’ balance sheets.

“Energy exports bit by bit are chipping away at gains we are making on carbon dioxide domestically,” said Shakeb Afsah, an economist who runs an energy consulting firm in Bethesda, Maryland.

NOVFA queen closes year

BY NANCY SPENCERDHI Media Editor

[email protected]

DELPHOS — It has been quite a year for NOVFA Queen Corinne Metzger. Since win-ning her crown in June 2013, Metzger has been busy attend-ing Northwest Ohio Volunteer Firefighters Association events with local firefighters.

“I had a great year with the guys and representing them at functions,” Metzger said. “They treated me like a queen.”

Metzger was there for the team during the golf outing, which she describes as an experience.

“I had to dodge a few golf balls that day,” she said with a laugh. “I kept my head down.”

She also gave pep talks to the teams during the annual softball outing and took one for the team during a bowling match.

Tentative deal reached to improve veterans’ health careBY MATTHEW DALY

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs commit-tees have reached a tentative agreement on a plan to improve veterans’ health care.

Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., scheduled a news confer-ence today to talk about a compromise plan to fix a veterans’ health program scandal-ized by long patient wait times and falsified records covering up delays.

Miller chairs the House veterans panel, while Sanders chairs the Senate panel.

A spokesman for Sanders said Sunday

the men have reached a tentative agree-ment. The deal requires a vote by a con-ference committee of House and Senate negotiators, and votes in the full House and Senate.

Miller and Sanders said in a joint state-ment that they “made significant progress” over the weekend toward agreement on legislation to reform the Veterans Affairs Department.

The plan is intended to “make VA more accountable and to help the department recruit more doctors, nurses and other health care professionals.” Miller and Sanders said.

Few details of the agreement were

released, but the bill is expected to autho-rize billions in emergency spending to lease new 27 clinics, hire more doctors and nurs-es and make it easier for veterans who can’t get prompt appointments with VA doctors to get outside care.

Sanders proposed a bill last week that would cost about $25 billion over three years. Miller countered with a plan to approve $10 billion in emergency spending, with a promise of more spending in future years under the normal congressional bud-get process.

Miller’s bill would keep most of the provisions in a Senate-passed bill and would authorize about $100 million for

the Veterans Affairs Department to address shortfalls in the current budget year.

Both bills cost significantly less than bills approved last month by the House and Senate.

Negotiations had appeared in jeop-ardy Thursday after Miller and Sanders announced their competing plans, then held separate news conferences lashing out at each other. The men resumed talks in pri-vate Thursday night.

The House and Senate are set to adjourn at the end of the week until early September, and lawmakers from both parties have said completing a bill on veterans’ health care is a top priority.

St. Rita’s parent changes name to Mercy HealthInformation submitted

LIMA — Catholic Health Partners (CHP), the parent healthcare system of St. Rita’s Medical Center, has changed its name to Mercy Health. The system’s name change is part of a Ministry evolu-tion to one unified team, focused on high-quality care, increased efficiencies and lower patient costs. Mercy Health is Ohio’s largest health system and fourth-largest employer.

“Our new name is a symbol of the new way we are working together to improve the health of the communities we serve,” said Michael D. Connelly, Mercy Health’s president and CEO. “It is a key component of our vision to empower those we serve to achieve their optimal well-being and health, and to maximize our quality and cost effi-ciency by simplifying our structure. This approach to serving and healing demonstrates our commit-ment to making health care easier as our more than 1,000 physicians and 32,000 employees strive to make lives better - mind, body and spirit - to help our patients be well.”

The system already operates under the “Mercy” name in five of its current seven markets, includ-ing markets serving Cincinnati, Toledo, Lorain, Springfield and Paducah, Kentucky.

Over the next several years, the Mercy Health name will be phased into all system facilities, including St. Rita’s Medical Center. This allows patients to retain the trust, confidence and security they currently have in physician, hospital and out-patient facilities that have served their communities for more than a century.

In addition, the Ministry’s website will change to mercy.com.

“We start with our patients at the center of every decision,” said Kristen Hall Wevers, Mercy Health’s chief brand, marketing and communica-tions officer. “Simplifying our operating structure improves our ability to maximize our clinical qual-ity and cost effectiveness, and allows us to improve the overall experience patients and their families have when they seek our services in times of need.”

The new name also will help Mercy Health more effectively communicate its Mission, results and stories. Mercy Health is a national leader in quality, safety and cost-effectiveness. True to its Mission, Mercy Health provides more than $1 mil-lion per day in community benefit to those patients who need services, but cannot otherwise afford them. Mercy Health is a major economic force in all of the communities it serves, providing nearly $9 billion in annual economic benefit in Ohio alone, according to a recent independent survey.

“We are excited about coming together under one name as part of a comprehensive effort to transform healthcare and better serve the people of West Central Ohio,” said Bob Baxter, St. Rita’s president & CEO. “It is important for our patients to know that although the name of our facilities will change over time, the physicians, hospitals and outpatient centers will continue to provide the same high-quality care. We are extremely fortunate to be a part of a progressive organization working in unison to carry forth the mission of our founders. We are building on a solid foundation as we look

ahead as one team, focused on the health of the communities we serve.”

Mercy Health’s roots date back to the mid-19th century, when women religious answered calls to serve poor and under-served people in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Railroad workers, immigrants and entire communities facing serious outbreaks of illness depended on congregations of women religious from Canada, Germany and Ireland to establish hospitals and nursing schools. During the same period, in Cincinnati, Jewish business leaders established a hospital to serve the city’s growing Jewish population. A century and a half later – and for the last quarter century – these hospitals, physicians and aligned services have been united in one organization dedicated to help-ing individuals and entire communities achieve better health. Today, that organization now is united under a single name: Mercy Health.

The system incorporated in 1986 as Mercy Health Care System and changed its name to Catholic Healthcare Partners in 1997 to more accu-rately reflect the multiple religious communities that sponsored it and its emphasis on partnering to build healthier communities. The name was later shortened to Catholic Health Partners to reflect its growing emphasis on prevention and health, in addition to caring in time of need.

“We are continuing the ministry started by our founders in the 1800s,” Connelly said. “Consistently providing proven best practices by simplifying our structure will strengthen and advance our abil-ity to deliver high quality, affordable care. We are changing to constantly improve our ministry so that Catholic healthcare remains a strong and vibrant choice for healthcare consumers.”


LIMA — The safety project on Ohio 309 (Elida Road) on Lima’s west side is yielding the expected results as indicated by crash data.

The safety upgrade proj-ect from Robb Avenue to Eastown Road, which had been identified as a high-accident corridor, was completed in 2012. The proj-ect, located in the area of the Lima Mall, included the installation of a raised-curb median down the center of the roadway to control left-turn movements, con-solidation and elimination of driveways, new traffic signals and signal coordina-

tion, the addition of U-turns, and the construction of new roadways to help facilitate traffic movement.

S E T Inc. of Lowellville was the general contractor for the project. The con-struction contract amount was $7.1 million.

“The crash data from 2006 to 2013 indicates the overall acci-dent rate is trending down as expected. What’s most e n c o u r a g -ing is the rate

of injury accidents which has been reduced from a high of 29 in 2009 to 13 in 2013,” said Kirk Slusher, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director.

The total number of

crashes in 2006 was 137. In 2013, there were 75.

“That represents an overall reduction in acci-dents of nearly 45 percent,” said Slusher.

There has been a period of learning associated with the upgraded roadway, but motorists seem to have adjusted well.

“We’re not seeing many accidents associated with U-turn movements which indicates to us that motor-ists are navigating those successfully,” he said.

The safety of the cor-ridor was further enhanced last year when the median curb was extended further into the intersection at American Avenue, Hartzler Road, Veteran’s Way and Arthur Avenue to discour-age more than one vehicle at a time negotiating a left or U-turn movement.

Cable on Cedar Point ride snaps, hurting 2

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio amusement park ride that swings riders as high as 125 feet has been closed indefinitely after a cable snapped, injuring two visitors.

Cedar Point spokesman Bryan Edwards said a cable on one of the Skyhawk ride's carriages disconnected late Saturday. One rider was treat-ed at a hospital and released. The other person was treated at the scene, the park said.

A man who said he was near the ride when the acci-dent occurred at about 10 p.m. reported hearing "something whip, then bang and scream-ing."

Kevin Gregg of Barnegat, New Jersey, operator of an online amusement park fan site called Themeparkmaniacs.com, told The Plain Dealer of Cleveland the ride slowed down to a stop with riders screaming.

Gregg said the cable dam-aged the fence in front of the ride where spectators often stand and watch. He said he was back at Cedar Point on Sunday and rides were oper-ating normally, except for Skyhawk.

Skyhawk has two giant arms that swing riders at speeds up to 60 mph. The park says the ride was closed temporarily in 2013 for an unrelated reason.

Edwards said Skyhawk will remain closed until an investigation into the cause of the accident is completed.

Edwards said in a state-ment: "Safety is our top pri-ority."

Cedar Point is the flag-ship park of Cedar Fair Entertainment, the nation's fourth-largest amusement park company.

Authorities say 2 killed in small plane crash

FINDLAY (AP) — Authorities in northwest Ohio say that two people were killed in an early morning small plane crash.

The Hancock County sher-iff's office says that the crash occurred at about 1:10 a.m. EDT Sunday. Authorities say the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board launched investigations of the single-engine plane crash that killed both people on board.

The Blade newspaper of Toledo reports that the plane crashed into a ditch, along a county road just northeast of the city of Findlay. The falling plane clipped a power line, knocking it down.

The Blade reports that the plane was traveling from Holland, Michigan, to Bluffton, Ohio, near Findlay.

Authorities say the plane carried a male pilot and female passenger. Names of the dead weren't released pending noti-fication of family.

Group restoring plane that flew Lake Erie islands

PORT CLINTON (AP) — A northern Ohio group restor-ing a Ford Tri-Motor plane to flying condition hopes it will help future generations appre-ciate the aircraft's role in devel-oping the Lake Erie Islands region and commercial avia-tion.

The Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation has worked for a decade to restore a 1929 plane that flew for Island Airlines to the Lake Erie Islands in 1946-1952. The aircraft held 12 people and transported

The Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation has been work-ing for a decade to restore a 1929 B-AT-40 that flew for the Island Airlines to the Lake Erie Islands from 1946-1952. It held 10 passengers, a pilot and co-pilot and made daily trips, transporting islanders and visitors.

"For a lot of people here, these planes were their first flights, this was their way to get to the islands," Jeff Sondles, operations director at the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, where the air-craft is being restored.

The project is expected to take another five years and $2 million to complete, accord-ing to chief mechanic Douglas Moore.

Moore and another mechan-ic have been working with 14 volunteers on the project that means a lot to people, Moore told the Port Clinton News-Herald.

Some have even cried upon entering the hangar where the

plane is being restored, Moore said.

"It touches something in them," he said.

Volunteers do a variety of jobs including crimping sheets of metal and bending them to the correct shape before rivet-ing them onto the new frame. Moore said volunteers include a bookkeeper, a dentist, a nurse, a financial adviser and an engineer.

"They all come in on their own time to help work on it," Moore said.

The museum bought a 1928 5-AT-B Tri-Motor, now named the City of Port Clinton, for $1.5 million earlier this month. Moore says that has helped provide a model for the restora-tion, but there have been prob-lems trying to determine what the Tri-Motor looked like when it flew to the Lake Erie Islands.

"I've found one photograph of it when it was part of Island Airlines," he said.

The plane was altered many times over the last 85 years by various owners. Moore said the plane changed hands numer-ous times, going to Montana, Idaho, Mexico, New York and Cuba.

The group wants the restored aircraft to be as authentic as possible and is seeking any additional photos that people may have of the plane when it flew for Island Airlines.

The finished Tri-Motor will remain based in Port Clinton, but will travel to air shows and other museums around the Midwest.

At 50, Upward Bound still opens pathway to college DAVID CRARY Associated Press

Nervous but determined, the 15-year-old boy walked into a conference room in Columbus, Ohio, for a fateful interview. If it went well, perhaps he'd have a chance to be the first member of his impoverished family to attend college.

That was 34 years ago, but Wil Haygood — the renowned journalist and author whose writing inspired the film "The Butler" — says he remembers it "like it was yesterday."

"I knew in my heart and soul that this was a monumental moment for little Wil Haygood," he recalled.

At stake was a place in Upward Bound — founded as an experimental program in 1964 as part of Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty with a goal of helping students from low-income families get a college education.

A few weeks after his interview, Haygood received a letter accepting him in the Upward Bound college prep program taking place that summer of 1970 on the campus of Ohio Dominican University. "The college wasn't but a few miles from our housing project, but as a poor kid, you never set foot there," Haygood said. "It was as if I had been lifted up and taken to an oasis."

Haygood flourished during three summers in the feder-ally funded program and credits the professors there — and their tough-love approach — with girding him to succeed in college.

"They didn't allow us to make excuses because we were black or poor," he said. "They said when you get to college, it will be 10 times harder."

Haygood went on to thrive at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1976 and returning last year to give the commencement speech.

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of Upward Bound. It served 2,061 participants at 17 locations in 1965; last year it served about 76,000 students at more than 1,000 locations in 50 states.

In all, more than 2 million people have participated — studying English literature and composition, math and sci-ence, and getting practical advice on college admissions. Upward Bound alumni include Oprah Winfrey, actresses Viola Davis and Angela Bassett, ABC News correspondent John Quinones, and Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile.

"It's a 50-year-old program that continues to pay back — giving us hope and teaching so many lessons along the way," said Maureen Hoyler, president of the Council for Opportunity in Education. The nonprofit council, formed in 1981, represents more than 1,000 colleges and agencies that have supported Upward Bound and its affiliated programs.

One of the keys to Upward Bound's success is that its local programs are conducted at college campuses, whether it's after-school and weekend sessions during the school year or residential summer programs.

"The fact that we get to live on campus is really cool — it gives you an idea of what college is like," said Ruthy Pierre, a 16-year-old New Yorker attending a second summer of Upward Bound. Her program is run by John Jay College

of Criminal Justice and hosted during the summer by the College of Mount Saint Vincent on a verdant campus in the Bronx overlooking the Hudson River.

Ruthy, of American and Haitian descent, lives with her single mom and will be a junior this fall at Information Technology High School in Queens. She aspires to be a law-yer but hasn't ruled out a mid-career switch to being a chef.

Upward Bound, she says, "opens up opportunities we wouldn't get otherwise."

Among her 56 classmates in the six-week summer program was Corinne Lopez, 15, who hopes for a career combining her interests in graphic arts and forensic science. Her parents came to the U.S. from South America with col-lege educations, but have struggled to find commensurate jobs in New York; Corinne's father works as a doorman in Manhattan.

"It's been hard for them," Corrine said. "I've had every-thing given to me. I have to return the favor — graduate, become successful and help them in the future."

The summer program's schedule is intensive, with classes and study halls filling most of the day on Mondays through Thursdays before the students go home for three-day week-ends. Karen Texeira — who's directed the John Jay program for 25 years — makes sure to include a few outings, such as this summer's foray to Broadway to see "Motown: The Musical."

She encourages the students to have fun amid all the hard work, though some rules are strictly enforced. There's auto-matic expulsion, for example, for any boy or girl found in the dorm rooms reserved for the opposite sex.

Texeira's second-in-command is counselor Omar Abdullah, 32, who grew up in Harlem, was an Upward Bound student himself in the late 1990s, and is now pursuing a master's degree in public administration.

"Before I did Upward Bound, I was really shy — too shy to place an order at McDonald's," he said. "At Upward Bound, you had to break out of that shell."

"What I took out of it especially was the friendships. It's like a family to us — 24 hours a day, four days a week," he said. "The last day of the program, kids are crying. Some of them don't want to go home."

Throughout its history, Upward Bound has compiled a strong record of success. Of the students who take part for at least three years, more than 90 percent go directly to college after completing high school.

That level of performance has earned Upward Bound strong bipartisan support in Congress, yet the program nonetheless faces fiscal challenges because of the broader turmoil on Capitol Hill.

The program's budget, which started out at $6 million 50 years ago, reached an all-time high of almost $327 million in 2012, but was trimmed by about 5 percent last year along with many other federal programs. As a result, enrollment dropped to 75,996 students, down from an all-time high of 79,672 in 2012.

"How do you do more with less?" asked Maureen Hoyler, describing a budget-related struggle to recruit and train professional staff capable of overseeing the academic program and providing advice on how to get into college, pay for it, and flourish while there.

She said Upward Board's role in college guidance has become increasingly crucial as many of the high schools supplying students to the program have cut back on their own guidance efforts.

"We want our students to make an informed choice," Hoyler said. "We also want them to stay in college once they go. They need to be able to ask for help."

As mandated by Congress, two-thirds of Upward Bound students must come from families with incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level and in which neither parent graduated from college. Some are homeless or live in group homes or foster homes, and about 75 percent are minorities.

If you suffer from poor circula-tion, injury, swelling or any condi-tion that leaves your feet fatiguedand sore, then read on to discoverthe breakthrough that can changeyour life.

Good news comes in the form ofa ‘pain-busting microfiber’ that isused to weave a circulation-boost-ing sock, called BambusaTM.

Better Blood FlowThe ‘miracle sock’ is made from

a new, patented anion-technologythat is weaved into every strand ofthread used to make a BambusaTM

sock. This special micro-fiberthread is made from revolutionarybamboo charcoal to stimulateblood flow and revitalize feet.When this material comes in con-tact with body-heat it is proven torelease circulation-boosting ions.

The 3D-weave technology usedin the material has been comparedto infrared light therapy to help re-vitalize stiff and sore muscles.

clinics to treat vascular and circula-tory conditions. Physical therapistsuse infrared therapy to speed re-covery. Better blood flow equalsless pain. This microfiber worksmuch the same way.”

"Circulatory dysfunction affectsMOST of the adult population inthe United States. Heart Disease,Strokes and Diabetic conditions areat epidemic levels; anything thatimproves circulation improves cel-lular health and vitality. I use theBambusa product myself and rec-ommend it to my clients. It reallyworks!” states Dr Jahner.

felt immediate results with histired, swollen feet. “Without exag-geration the relief was almost in-stantaneous. It is like a heating padset to low and wrapped around mycalf. I will be replacing my entireset of dress socks with thesesocks!”

ical device or compression socksbecause they don’t restrict bloodflow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortablyincrease blood flow and oxygen totissues. “My feet felt wonderful,cool, and I never got that pins andneedles feeling anymore. I love myBambusaTM socks,” says Nancy,from NJ.

They are ideal for diabetics andthose suffering from neuropathy orinjury from repetitive use. Bam-busaTM socks can also bring com-fort to tired legs within minutes ofputting them on, energizing indi-viduals who spend long hours ontheir feet.

Goodbye to Pain and NumbnessMarilyn H. has suffered persist-

ent foot problems for years and no-ticed fast results. “The issue for mewas persistent numbness in mytoes - it was gone completely aftera few days of wearing these socks!Being diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”

“I went out on the golf coursefor 18 holes of golf, and when I gothome my feet weren’t swollen,they weren’t sweating and my feetdidn’t hurt,” says Lou B. from NewYork.

BRIDGEND, Wales — Bernhard Langer ran away with the Senior British Open on Sunday for his fourth senior major title, finishing a Champions Tour-record 13 strokes ahead of Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie.

The 56-year-old German closed with a 4-under 67 at sunny and breezy Royal P o r t h c a w l to finish at 18-under 266. He opened with rounds of 65, 66 and 68.

“The golf course is unbelievably tough,” Langer said. “To have this weather for four days is unreal, it’s like playing in Florida with a bit of wind. The secret was I didn’t make too many mistakes and my driver was very good and my long putting was excellent, although not quite today as I was lacking a little. Perhaps my lead was too big.”

Montgomerie, the winner of the previous two senior majors, finished with a 69.

“This was a brute of a golf course with no wind, never mind with the wind,” Montgomerie said. “But what I would like to say is that Bernhard Langer’s per-formance here is one of the golfing performances of all time. And I’d like to say, Rory McIlroy and his group of friends, bring it on here. … Remarkable, remarkable play and all credit to him.”

Langer broke the Champions Tour record for margin of victory of 12 set by Hale Irwin in the 1997 Senior PGA, and almost doubled Bob Charles’ tournament record of seven strokes set at Turnberry in 1989. Langer also matched the tournament record for rela-

tion to par set by Tom Watson at Turnberry in 2003.

“Just very blessed to be able to play such good golf and really enjoy the 18 holes today because there wasn’t too much pressure,” contin-ued Langer, who also won the 2010 tournament at Carnoustie and lost in a playoff last year at Royal Birkdale. “Still, had

to, obviously, hit some decent shots and make some putts.”

The victory was Langer’s fourth of the season and 22nd overall on the 50-and-over tour. He earned a spot in the British Open next year at St. Andrews.

“ T h a t ’ s going to be a great highlight,”

Langer added. “Another chance at The Open Championship and especially at St. Andrews, there’s no greater place to play golf than there.”

American Tom Pernice Jr., England’s Barry Lane and Canada’s Rick Gibson tied for third at 2 under.

Tom Watson and Fred Couples struggled. Watson had a 77 to tie for 10th at 2 over and Couples closed with a 77 to tie for 13th at 4 over.

Langer wins Senior British Open by record 13 shots

Strahan goes from DE to TV to HOFBy BARRY WILNER

Associated Press

Michael Strahan had one objective in mind when he came to the New York Giants as a second-round draft pick in 1993 out of Texas Southern.

“My goal when I first started was just to make a little money so I didn’t have to move back to my parents’ house,” he says. “I didn’t want to disappoint my parents. So that was my goal, to kind of just make my parents proud, make them happy, play as hard and just do the best I could do.”

The best he could do was pretty good: Strahan will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

Strahan was the leader of a defense that stunned the undefeated Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl. He holds the sin-gle-season mark for sacks with 22 1/2 in 2001 — yeah, we know all about Brett Favre’s “dive” for the record-setting sack. He retired with 141 1/2 sacks, seven Pro Bowl appearances and four All-Pro team selections.

And while he was a game-changer on the field, he was making his mark elsewhere with his gregarious personal-ity, gap-toothed smile and willingness to step out of his comfort zone. He became a regular in commercials, most notably for Subway.

Strahan easily moved from the field to the television studio after retirement and now is co-host of the “Live! With Kelly and Michael” morning show.

But he’s going into the Canton shrine because of his on-field achievements in 15 seasons, all with the Giants.

Playing for one team, joining former teammates Harry Carson and Lawrence

Taylor in the hall, means plenty to the 42-year-old Strahan.

“Just so much history on the side of the Giants,” Strahan said, “and the fact that you can see we all spent our career all in one place, which just goes to show that it’s a family.”

Not that a spot in Canton was on Strahan’s mind when he wore No. 92 for the Giants.

“I think, when you once start thinking like that, you’re setting yourself for failure,” he added. “So I just went out and played every year for 15 as hard as I could and just — at the end of it all, it took me years before I looked back on my career and said, ‘Man, I did have a pretty good career.’ Other than that, I just look at myself as a football player who happens to play as hard as I could and ended up by going out on the right note on a team that got hot at the right time and won a Super Bowl, and one of the most memorable ones going against an undefeated team.”

Strahan had a sack in that game, the final one of his career. He became eligible for the hall in 2013 and was elected this year.

Seeing his former teammate and mentor selected for the hall reminds current Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka of Strahan’s refusal to come off the field. Strahan started 205 of his 216 career games and was no situational player.

“I remember him specifically say-ing, That’s just a chance for somebody

to take your spot’,” Kiwanuka recalled. “He’d say, ‘I’m never going to come off the field; they’re going to have to drag me off the field.’ You have to have that mentality of a warrior, somebody

who’s going to be out there and be accountable every single play.”

It takes more than determination, good health and some good fortune to achieve that. Giants gen-eral manager Jerry Reese recognizes that.

“Michael would get recognized most of the time as a pass rusher and he was a great one,” Reese said. “But he could also play the run as well as anybody at that position. He was great against the

run.”He also was a teacher. Jason Pierre-

Paul, the Giants’ main sacks threat these days, notes that Strahan taught Osi Umenyiora the tricks of the trade. Umenyiora passed them along to Kiwanuka, who did the same for Pierre-Paul.

Reese took over for Ernie Accorsi as Giants’ GM in 2007 and his first task directly involved his star defensive end. Strahan held out of training camp, immediately setting up a challenge the new general manager had to overcome.

Obviously, the sides reached a deal; six months later, the Giants were cham-pions.

“Coach (Tom) Coughlin said when Chris Snee retired, ‘Give me 100 Chris Snees on my team’,” Reese added. “Well, you can give me 200 Michael Strahans.”

Browns LB Mingo hoping bigger is better in Year 2Associated Press

BEREA — Browns linebacker Barkevious Mingo is bank-ing on bigger being better after a rookie year that started fast and then sort of fizzled.

He’s been bulking up this offseason, ready to fit in with the faster and stronger of the NFL.

As the sixth overall pick in the 2013 draft, Mingo made an instant impact for the Browns, flying all over the field and registering a sack in each of his first three games. But just as quickly, he disappeared from the stat sheet, recording only two more sacks the rest of the season.

Mingo now weighs in the upper 230s.“Last year, I learned a lot of lessons - stuff that you can’t

draw on the board,” Mingo said Sunday. “I feel like I’m using that this year to help me be a better player.”

It’s not just overcoming the stigma of being undersized. With a new coaching staff in place, Mingo is also adapting to new responsibilities in a revamped defense.

“He’s out in space, much more involved in coverage,” coach Mike Pettine said. “We’ll still take advantage of his pass rush ability. As far as a true radical position change, it’s right up there with him.”

That’s just fine with Mingo, who had an interception and tipped pass in the first day of practice Saturday. And despite packing on the weight, he still impressed everybody with how fast he ran through the team’s conditioning tests on Friday.

“I guess I’ll be asked to do a little more in coverage,” Mingo said. “I feel comfortable doing that.”

That attitude — and the willingness to help the team how-ever he can — has made a good first impression on the coach-ing staff but the work Mingo’s put in hasn’t been lost on his teammates, either.

“He doesn’t have that first-round chip on his shoulder where he thinks everything should be given to him,” said safety Donte Whitner, who is entering his ninth year in the league. “He’s a very coachable guy and the coaches are excited about the things that he can do. We’ve just got to get him to Taco Bell after training camp practice to get a couple of pounds on him.”

A lot has certainly been asked of Mingo this offseason but as far as Pettine is concerned, he’s been up to the task for everything.

“I just think his preparation, his willingness, talking to him about getting his weight up a little bit - it’s not an easy transi-tion for him,” Pettine added.

It might not be the easiest of transitions but it helps that Mingo has been given a clean slate with new defensive coor-dinator Jim O’Neil.

“All our coaches that are there are top-notch guys, top-notch coaches,” Mingo said. “They’re younger guys. They related better. They make everything easy for us.”

And after an offseason to think about his disappointing rookie campaign, waiting to prove that he was better than five sacks, Mingo is out to prove he’s every bit the player the Browns see in him.

“I’m just ready to play,” Mingo added.NOTES: GM Ray Farmer spoke to the media after practice

Sunday, covering a variety of topics. “The thing that we’re focused on now is driving competition,” he told reporters. … Pettine said that OL Jason Pinkston is unavailable to practice

but, due to the circumstances, he could not spec-ify as to why or when he might return. Pinkston tweeted, “I can assure you I’m in no legal trouble and retiring hasn’t came up. As far as my situation I’ll leave it to them to explain.” … As a veteran player, LT Joe Thomas was given a scheduled day off. … Rookie RB Isaiah Crowell switched his jersey number from 30 to 34. … The Browns will be in pads starting today. “I want to be able to hear the practice,” Pettine added.

Manziel’s day at camp: A look at Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel’s day at training camp.

SEEING JOHNNY: Fans simply can’t get enough of Johnny Football. The crowd along the sideline cheered after the rookie completed his first few passes of the day and after practice, he

approached fans waiting for an autograph accom-panied by a “John-ny! John-ny!” chant.

BEING JOHNNY: On the field, it was a tougher day for Manziel. He was inconsistent during team drills, lofting and underthrowing multiple passes. But he did fire some impres-sive bullets, stepping up in the pocket to connect with wide receiver Charles Johnson and throwing a pass down the middle to wide receiver Miles Austin that resulted in a diving grab.

JOHNNY’S SHOES: Manziel took the field in a pair of bright yellow Nike cleats before he switched into some less-vibrant orange ones. Pettine explained players must wear team-issued gear.

COACHING JOHNNY: Pettine wasn’t ready to offer his opinion of Manziel’s uneven practice.

“I don’t know if I want to stand here every day just walk-ing off the field and evaluate the performance,” Pettine added. “Sometimes you think one thing and you get in and watch a tape and your opinion changes completely.”

Fister handcuffs slumping Reds in Nationals’ win

Associated Press CINCINNATI— The slumping

Cincinnati Reds were no match for a record-setting Doug Fister.

The rolling right-hander took advan-tage of facing the Reds to extend the best season-opening start by any Washington pitcher in a 4-2 Nationals’ win Sunday.

Fister (10-2) allowed just three hits with one walk — he has walked more than one bat-ter in just three of his last 17 starts dating back to last season — and five strikeouts in seven shutout innings to reach 10 wins in 14 starts, one fewer than any previous Washington pitcher. Gio Gonzalez reached 10 wins in 15 starts in 2012 and Jordan Zimmermann duplicated him last season. The Nationals moved to Washington from Montreal in 2005.

Fister has won his last four starts and is 5-0 in six starts since his last loss.

Fister’s changeup was his biggest weap-on, Washington manager Matt Williams said.

“He was throwing it to right-handers and left-handers,” Williams said. “He was really good. (The Reds) throw pretty good starting pitching against you. We were for-tunate to take two out of three.”

Adam LaRoche drove in two runs and Anthony Rendon added an RBI single in the ninth to help send the Reds to their eighth loss in nine games since the All-Star break. They are hitting .178 (50-

for-281) in that span.Devin Mesoraco’s 2-run double in the

ninth — the only extra-base hit of the game for either team — off Rafael Soriano allowed the Reds to avoid their 11th shut-out loss. Soriano regrouped to get the final three outs for his 200th career save and 25th of the season.

Santana hits 2 more HRs, Indians stop Royals

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hall-of-Famers Reggie Jackson and Jim Rice didn’t do it. Neither did Mark McGwire, Albert Pujols, Jim Thome, Barry Bonds nor any other opposing slugger who played at Kansas City.

Carlos Santana hit five home runs in a series at spa-cious Kauffman Stadium, connecting for two more shots Sunday and leading the Cleveland Indians over the Royals 10-3.

Santana tied a team record for homers in a series, fin-ishing off this 4-game set with a pair of 2-run shots. He has homered in three straight games and has hit six home runs in six games.

“I know I’m hot but I’m taking the same approach,”

Santana said. “This can hap-pen in this game when a play-er gets focused. It’s a help to the team.”

Santana and the Indians ended a 4-game losing skid and stopped the Royals’ 5-game winning streak.

Santana went 3-for-3 and reached base in all five plate appearances, including drawing his major league-leading 72nd walk. The switch-hitter homered in a 4-run fifth inning and hit another drive in the ninth for his fifth career multi-homer game and his second of the series.

In his past six games, Santana is 14-for-23, includ-ing three doubles and 10 RBIs.

“He’s hot as a firecracker,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s hitting home runs right-handed. He’s hitting home runs left-handed.”

Ryan Raburn and Yan Gomes also homered for

the Indians, who had lost six straight at Kauffman Stadium.

Danny Salazar (3-4) gave up three runs and seven hits over seven innings. He walked none and struck out seven.

Bruce Chen (2-3) allowed up six runs

and eight hits in 5-plus innings.

Nick Swisher hit an RBI single in the Indians seventh to end an 0-for-21 streak.

LIMA – It was an evening that fea-tured the Budweiser Thunderstocks division at Limaland Motorsports Park Friday night and for spectators of the heat races earlier in the night, it came as little surprise that Tony Anderson and Lima’s Jeff Koz took top honors in the “money” races to cap off the program.

Defending division champio Anderson moved to the front through the early stages of the 10-lap Fricke Memorial and held off challenges from both Koz and fellow frontrunner Tim Cole. Anderson piloted his number 22T machine flawlessly around the high-banked ¼-mile oval, as he has done many times previously, and rolled to the coveted checkered flag.

“This was a good field of stock cars out here tonight,” noted Anderson after-ward. “The top of the track isn’t my usual domain but the car was working well up there so you do what you have to in order to compete and win. I’m really grateful for my crew, sponsors and family.”

Earlier in the race program, it was Koz that dominated in winning the Thunderstocks regular 15-lap feature. A pair of mid-race caution flags didn’t slow his progress as he led the field from flag to flag after starting from the front row.

“It a fast race track again tonight and this car loves fast, tacky tracks,” said Koz. “This win goes to Dean Miracle. I drive his modified and his mom is in the hospital so we’re thinking of them.”

The win marked the third of the 2014 season for Koz and the 16th of his career at Limaland Motorsports Park.

The Elwer Fence sprint car 25-lap feature field was stacked with speed at the front and the Hammons Motorsports entries ultimately scored a rare 1-2 fin-ish. It wasn’t as easy as the result might appear as Hammons’ drivers Max Stambaugh and JR Stewart had to battle with a pair of veterans from nearby Putnam County, Jared Horstman and Butch Schroeder, to eventually triumph.

Horstman revealed earlier that his team was racing with heavy hearts as he dedicated a Dash for Cash win to open the night of racing to his neighbor and friend Andrew Altenburger, who lost his life tragically that morning in an ATV accident. Horstman carried that emotion through the opening laps of the feature and produced some thrilling early-race action with both Stambaugh and Stewart.

As Horstman roared around the high side of the track surface, Stambaugh was being successful working a middle line and the two drivers made the event their own playground for most of the feature. A 2-car mishap in turn num-ber four involving Jimmy Snead and Ryan Kirkendall brought out a red-flag race stoppage but also set up the field for a 5-lap dash to the checkered flag. Stambaugh never surrendered the lead and on the white-flag lap, Horstman made contact with the front straight wall, ending his hopes.

While Stambaugh and his teammate Stewart rolled to glory, Horstman settled for a 13th-place finish with his orange-colored number 17 stalled in turn one.

“It got a little nervy a few times when I got behind slow cars and with the 17 always coming,” noted a relieved Stambaugh of Elida. “Ron (Hammons) gave me a great opportunity this year so I come out here and do what I can. When it gets hectic, you just have to keep going.”

It was Stambaugh’s second feature win of 2014.

The 20-lap Reineke Modifieds fea-ture was being touted as a rematch of Todd Sherman and Matt Westfall as the two leading points drivers in the divi-sion literally raced to a razor-thin margin at the finish the previous week with Westfall edging Sherman. On this night, Sherman was fortunate to start the race from the outside of the front row with Westfall just behind on the inside of row number two.

It was too much for the rest of the field, with the notable exception of Tony Anderson and Terry Hull, to effec-tively challenge at the front of the field. Sherman chose to lead the field primar-ily racing on the high side of the track and Westfall followed him nose-to-tail through the entire event. At one point in the action, Westfall produced a difficult slide job maneuver through turn number four but even that failed to give him race leadership.

A late race caution set up a white-flag duel to decide the eventual winner. It was eerily similar to the previous week when Westfall somehow got around Sherman to record the win. On this occasion, Sherman stayed at the top of the track for maximum traction and held off Westfall to post the win

“I’m a catfish; I like the bottom,” joked Sherman. “The top was sort of treacherous but my son is my signal guy and he said take it to the top. I was just holding him (Westfall) off and it was a heckuva drive.

It was Sherman’s third win of 2014 and the 39th of his Modified career at Limaland Motorsport Park. He retains his points lead with three weeks of action remaining.

Limaland Motorsports Park returns to action on Friday with Meet the Drivers Night and the Run for the Rabbit with the K & L Ready Mix NRA Sprint Invaders. Also the Reineke Modifieds and Budweiser Thunderstocks will compete. Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 p.m. Racing begins promptly at 7:30 p.m.

(Continued from page 6)

Reds manager Bryan Price keeps waiting for his team to take early leads and put pres-sure on the opponent.

“What it comes down to is we didn’t score many runs,” he added. “We have to get better at that. Guys are trying but aren’t getting anything out of their effort. You can’t wait until the ninth inning. We have to get more runners on base.”

The teams went the entire 3-game series without hitting a home run, the first time in the 12-year history of Great American Ball Park that three consecutive games have been played without a home run. The Reds and Nationals com-bined to hit just two home runs in their six games this season — one by each team.

Reds’ starter Mat Latos allowed no hits through the first four innings before Danny Espinosa led off the fifth with a clean single. Fister sacrificed Espinosa to sec-ond with one out and Latos walked Denard Span and hit Anthony Rendon to load the bases. Jayson Werth walked to drive in a run after falling behind 0-2 and LaRoche fol-lowed with a 2-run single for a 3-0 lead.

Latos and plate umpire Toby Basner exchanged words as the Reds left the field after the inning.

Latos (2-3), in his eighth start after opening the sea-son on the disabled list with elbow and knee problems, lasted six innings, giving up three hits and three runs with four walks and a season-high six strikeouts.

PHILLIES 4, DIAMONDBACKS 2PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Howard

homered in his second game since a 3-game benching and scored the go-ahead run on an overturned call at the plate in the Philadelphia Phillies’ 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

With the score 2-2 in the sixth, Howard walked with two outs against Vidal Nuno (0-2). Marlon Byrd popped up to short right field, where second baseman Didi Gregorius backpedaled slowly, settled under the ball and allowed it to kick off his glove and bounce toward center.

Ender Inciarte picked up the ball and threw to the plate, where catcher Miguel Montero blocked Howard’s path. Umpire Dale Scott signaled out but the call was reversed in a video review.

Roberto Hernandez (5-8) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings and Jonathan Papelbon pitched a 2-hit ninth for his 25th save.

METS 2, BREWERS 0MILWAUKEE — Lucas Duda hit a

2-run homer in the sixth off Jimmy Nelson (1-2), Duda’s third homer in four days in Milwaukee.

Rookie Jacob deGrom (5-5) allowed four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Jenrry Mejia got his 15th save when Lyle Overbay grounded out with two on.

CARDINALS 1, CUBS 0CHICAGO — Adam Wainwright (13-

5) allowed five hits in seven innings and Matt Holliday homered int he first off rookie Kyle Hendricks (1-1).

Trevor Rosenthal pitched the ninth for his 32nd save, completing a 6-hitter.

St. Louis won two out of three at the Cubs, who have not won a series at Wrigley Field since taking 2-of-3 from Miami from June 6-8. Chicago has lost 15-of-19 overall since July 15, the day they traded All-Star pitcher Jeff Samardzija to Oakland.

BRAVES 8, PADRES 3ATLANTA— Chris Johnson and

Ryan Doumit each drove in two runs dur-ing Atlanta’s 6-run third inning.

Mike Minor (4-6) allowed three runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings and Atlanta roughed up Eric Stults (3-13) for six runs and six hits in six innings.

A few thousand fans arrived early to watch the Hall of Fame ceremonies on the Turner Field video board. Among the inductees were former Braves managers Bobby Cox and Joe Torre and pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux.

PIRATES 7, ROCKIES 5DENVER — Josh Harrison had four

hits, including an eighth-inning homer on the first pitch by Rex Brothers (3-5) that broke a 5-5 tie. Gregory Polanco homered four pitches later.

Tony Watson (7-1) gave up a run in two innings of relief to get the win and Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his 19th save.

Reds

Indians(Continued from page 6)

Billy Butler had three hits for the Royals, including an RBI double. He had homered in his previous two games but Santana equaled Butler’s season home run total in the series.

Santana is the first player to hit five home runs in a series since Hunter Pence for San Francisco against the Dodgers last September.

Santana tied an Indians’ record for most home runs in a series. The others were Hal Trosky (1934), Joe Carter (1989), Albert Belle (1995), Matt Williams (1997) and Travis Hafner (2004). Hafner did it in 2-game series against the Angels.

RED SOX 3, RAYS 2ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — David Ortiz hit a 3-run homer and the Boston Red Sox

beat Tampa Bay 3-2 Sunday to end a 5-game losing streak and stop the Rays’ longest winning streak in 10 years at nine games.

Ortiz’s 25th home run came in the third off Chris Archer (6-6) after a walk and Dustin Pedroia’s infield single. Ortiz’s homer was his fifth in seven games and his 29th at Tropicana Field, most among visiting players.

Desmond Jennings hit a 2-run double in the third against Allen Webster (1-0), who pitched 5 1/3 innings in his first major-league appearance this season.

Koji Uehara pitched the ninth for his 21st save, striking out the last three batters.BLUE JAYS 5, YANKEES 4NEW YORK — Dioner Navarro hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth

and Toronto rallied after wasting three leads for its first series win in the Bronx since Aug. 27-29, 2012.

After snapping a 17-game skid at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Toronto did not relent in the humidity. Jose Bautista reached on a fielder’s choice against David Robertson (1-3) in the ninth, stole second without a throw and scored on Navarro’s liner to center field.

Aaron Sanchez (1-0) gave up Carlos Beltran’s tying RBI hit in the eighth. Munenori Kawasaki had put Toronto ahead with a sacrifice fly that followed Dellin Betances’ 2-base error on a pickoff attempt.

MARLINS 4, ASTROS 2HOUSTON — Garrett Jones and Marcell Ozuna homered for Miami, which com-

pleted a 3-game sweep. Houston has lost five in a row and 8-of-10.Jones’ homer capped a 3-run first for the Marlins and Ozuna padded the lead with

his solo shot in the sixth. Miami has won 7-of-8 following a 6-game skid.Jacob Turner (4-6) allowed one run and six hits in 5 2/3 innings and Steve Cishek

allowed one run in the ninth before getting his 26th save.Collin McHugh (4-9) gave up four runs and seven hits 6 1/3 innings with nine

strikeouts.TWINS 4, WHITE SOX 3MINNEAPOLIS — Sam Fuld hit a tie-breaking, 2-run single off Javy Guerra in a

3-run seventh inning and Minnesota avoided a 4-game sweep.

Gordon

It’s ‘Jeff Gordon Day’ at Indy for record 5th timeBy JENNA FRYER

Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — With a tinge of gray hair at his tem-

ples, his hat on backward and his two young children by his side, Jeff Gordon celebrated as if he was 23 years old again.

Gordon won a NASCAR-record fifth Brickyard 400 on Sunday, eight days before his 43rd birthday and on the weekend Indianapolis Motor Speedway celebrated the 20th anniversary of his first Brickyard victory.

Gordon’s first win came before the celebra-tory kissing of the Yard of Bricks was en vogue, before he became a household name, while Sprint Cup Series rookies Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon were still in diapers. Now a family man with an aching back, Gordon used Sunday to show he’s still at the top of his game.

“If you can do it here, you can do it any-where,” said Gordon, who has led the Sprint Cup Series standings for 13 of the last 14 weeks. “It’s certainly going to be a huge confidence boost for this team. We recognize the significance of this.

“We saw we were points leaders, we won at Kansas but I don’t know if we believed we were capable of winning this championship this year. We do now.”

To prove it to himself, to his Hendrick Motorsports team and to his ardent fan base, Gordon needed a vintage close to Sunday’s race.

Hendrick teammate Kasey Kahne led a race-high 70 laps and seemed only to be racing against his gas tank when a late caution put the race back into Gordon’s hands. He’d have one shot at passing Kahne, on a dreaded restart, and nobody was sure if ol’ “Four-Time” had it in him.

Restarts are his Achilles heel and he’s struggled with them for several years. And Kahne, who is winless on the season, desperately needed the victory to grab a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship field.

“The restart is going to be the race, really,” Gordon’s crew chief, Alan Gustafson, conceded in a television interview moments before the field went green with 17 laps remaining.

Kahne picked the lower, inside lane for the restart, and Gordon found himself on the outside and exactly where he wanted to be. Gordon tried to set a quick pace as they headed to the flag and Kahne tried to slow it down in the restart zone.

Gordon shifted into fourth gear and surged past Kahne on the outside and Gordon kicked it into cruise control as he

sailed away for the win.“I think we both knew that was for the win,”

Gordon said of Kahne. “Out of nowhere, I have the restart of my life at the most important moment that you could ask for in a race, in a season, at a race like this. That was just awe-some.”

The win came on the 20th anniversary celebration of Gordon’s win in the inaugural Brickyard 400 and on “Jeff Gordon Day” as declared by the Mayor of Indianapolis. The win moved Gordon into a tie with Michael Schumacher, whose five Formula One victories at Indy had been the gold standard.

“I told him this morning that this was his day,” said team owner Rick Hendrick.

Kahne plummeted to fifth after the restart, then ran out of gas on the final lap and had to

nurse his car home to a sixth-place finish. He said he erred in picking the inside line for the restart.

Hendrick said he had no favorite in that situation and hoped only that Gordon and Kahne did not wreck each other.

“I know Kasey, he needed a win and he ran awful good today,” Hendrick added. “But Jeff had the dominant car, so it all worked out.”

Kyle Busch finished second, 2.325 seconds behind Gordon, followed by Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. After the race, NASCAR announced Hamlin’s car had failed post-race inspection and the parts in question would be taken to North Carolina for another look.

Joey Logano was fifth in the highest-finishing car from Team Penske, which brought Juan Pablo Montoya to the race in an effort to get the win. Roger Penske has won a record 15 Indianapolis 500s but is winless in the Brickyard. Montoya was never a factor and finished 23rd.

Dear Abby

Son-in-law’s abusive fathermakes family gathering painful

DEAR ABBY: I adore my son-in-law, “Tom.” He’s a wonderful husband to our daughter. He’s always inviting us to dinner along with his parents and family. We get along with them, but can’t stand how they treat Tom. We have never seen parents treat their children the way they treat him -- especially the father. Tom is practically begging for his approval and attention on a daily basis.

The last time we had dinner together, you could see the hurt and embarrassment on Tom’s face after his father spoke to him. I desperately want to say something to the father, but I don’t know if I should. What would you do in this situation? -- DESPERATELY WANTS TO HELP

DEAR WANTS TO HELP: I’d sit down with Tom and tell him how much I love him, how I appreciate the wonderful way he treats my daughter, and say what a joy it is that he is a part of my family. Then I’d tell Tom his father’s behavior is uncalled for, and how painful it is to watch because he doesn’t deserve it.

I would explain that some

people in this world try to control others by withholding affection and approval, and regrettably, it’s a technique abusive parents -- and sometimes lovers -- use to exert control over those who love them and want only to be loved and accepted. And then I would ask him if he wanted me to call his father on it, because watching it happen is painful and prevents you from enjoying the dinner.

P.S. Counseling might help Tom recognize what’s going on and give him the tools to handle his father, if he’s open to it.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and feeling so sad because I just lost my dad. I can’t talk to my stepmom because she’s too busy hanging out with her friends, drinking and partying. My dad died a couple of months ago, and she’s already having sex with my dad’s friends. I heard them talking about it. I have no other family that I can go to. I really hate her right now! Please tell me what to do. -- GRIEVING IN FLORIDA

DEAR GRIEVING: Please know how sorry I am for the loss of your father. It would be helpful for you to

find another adult to talk to about your feelings. Because you have no family other than your stepmother, perhaps the mother of one of your friends would listen and guide you. If that’s not possible, and you belong to a church, you should talk to the minister.

Hating your stepmom isn’t the answer. She may be acting the way she is because she’s trying to cope with the loss of your father by attempting to distract herself from the pain. It won’t work, by the way, but she may have to learn that by trial and error. A grief-support group could be helpful for both of you.

TO MY MUSLIM READERS: The fast of Ramadan is officially ended. Happy Eid al-Fitr, everyone. May God make yours a blessed feast.

Untreated diabetes leads to serious complicationsDEAR DOCTOR

K: How does Type 1 diabetes differ from Type 2 diabetes?

DEAR READER: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are different diseases, but they share many things in common. Both types of diabetes are marked by elevated levels of blood glucose, or sugar. Type 2 diabetes, though, is much more common than Type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes also tends to begin in adulthood, although increasingly it is being seen in teenagers who are very obese. Type 1 diabetes tends to start in childhood, although it can start later in life.

The two types of diabetes can both lead to the same serious complications. Left untreated, or inadequately treated, either type can lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, amputation and blindness.

To understand diabetes -- both Type 1 and Type 2 -- it’s helpful to

understand how your body metabolizes sugar. When you eat carbohydrates, your digestive system breaks them down into simple sugars, such as glucose. These simple sugars inside your gut get absorbed into your bloodstream. Then the sugar travels to your cells, providing nourishment and energy.

For sugar to give your cells energy, it has to get inside the cells. That’s where a hormone called insulin comes in. Insulin is a chemical made by the pancreas. When the pancreas “sees” sugar levels rising in your blood after you eat, it releases insulin into the blood. When insulin reaches your cells, it causes sugar to enter the cells.

When sugar enters your cells, it leaves the blood. As a result, blood sugar levels drop. On the other hand, if your pancreas can’t make enough insulin, or if your cells don’t respond normally to insulin,

sugar can’t get into the cells and builds up in your blood.

In healthy people, blood glucose levels remain within a narrow range. This is important because certain organs, such as the brain and kidneys, depend on a consistent, steady supply of glucose.

The more common Type 2 diabetes results from a combination of abnormalities. First, your cells become less responsive to insulin. The pancreas rallies to compensate for this by pumping out more insulin. For a while, that keeps blood sugar levels normal. Eventually, the pancreas gets “pooped” and can’t keep up with the increased insulin demand. Blood sugar levels then rise, resulting in diabetes.

Treatments for Type 2 diabetes are drugs that make cells more responsive to insulin, drugs that encourage more insulin production by the pancreas, and insulin injections. Weight loss and regular exercise make cells more responsive to insulin.

The less common Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease.

The body’s immune system mistakes the insul in-producing cells of the pancreas as foreign and destroys them. This eventually leaves the body unable to produce insulin. To reverse symptoms, people with Type 1 diabetes must have daily injections of insulin. This replaces the insulin their bodies cannot produce.

A century ago, many people who developed either type of diabetes died prematurely. Let us be thankful that research has led to major improvements in treatment.

As companies look to double U.S. coal exports, with three new terminals along the West Coast, America could be fueling demand for coal when many experts say that most fossil fuels should remain buried to avert the most disastrous effects of climate change.

But the administration has resisted calls from governors in Washington and Oregon to evaluate and disclose such global fallout, saying that if the U.S. didn’t supply the coal, another country would.

White House officials say U.S. coal has a negligible global footprint and reducing coal’s use worldwide is the best way to ease global warming. The U.S. in 2012 accounted for 9 percent of worldwide coal exports, the latest data available.

“There may be a very marginal increase in coal exports caused by our climate policies,” said Rick Duke, Obama’s deputy climate adviser, in an interview with The Associated Press. “Given that coal supply is widely available from many sources, our time is better spent working on leading toward a global commitment to cut carbon pollution on the demand side.”

Guidance drafted by White House officials in 2010 did outline how broadly agencies should look at carbon emissions from U. S. projects. Four years later, that guidance is still under review.

“They have sat on their hands,” said George Kimbrell, a senior attorney for the Center for Food Safety, which has sued the administration over this delay.

Carbon dioxide, regardless of where it enters the atmo-sphere, contributes to the sea level rise and in some cases severe weather in the U.S. and the world.

Changing the global system to account for production would carry political risks, especially for the U.S., which is trying to boost production of energy and exports even as it addresses global warming.

“The U.S. needs to be pragmatic on this,” said Jason Bordoff, director of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. “If our coal exports are very small and hav-ing no or little impact on global greenhouse gas emissions ... the government has to take into account the economic and foreign policy costs of restricting exports.” He was a National Security Council energy and climate change adviser to Obama until January 2013.

Over the past six years, as the U.S. cut coal consumption by 195 million tons, about 20 percent of that coal was shipped over-seas, according to an AP analysis of Energy Department data.

Less coal being burned here has helped the power sector reduce carbon emissions by 12 percent and left more U.S. coal in the ground. But a growing share is finding its way abroad.

Analyses suggest U.S. exports could be reducing by half or wiping out completely the pollution savings in the U.S. from switching power plants from coal to natural gas.

The nexus of the challenge can be found in and around Norfolk, Virginia, which exports more coal than any other place in the U.S. and is already experiencing one of the coun-try’s fastest rates of sea level rise.

EU, US seek Putin Achilles' heel on Ukraine

JUERGEN BAETZ andMATTHEW LEE Associated Press

BRUSSELS — Months after Russia annexed Crimea and stepped up support for separatists in eastern Ukraine, Europe and the United States are still searching for a way to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to change course.

Targeted economic sanc-tions and threats of tougher ones have yet to alter what western officials say is Moscow's growing backing for the rebels, including the shelling of Ukrainian military targets in southeast Ukraine from inside Russian territory and alleged plans to boost weapons supplies.

The U.S. on Sunday released satellite images that it says show that rockets have been fired from Russia into neighboring eastern Ukraine and that heavy artillery for separatists also has crossed the border. The images, which came from the U.S. Director of National Intelligence and could not be independently verified by The Associated Press, show blast marks where rockets were launched and craters where they landed.

The Pentagon said just days ago that the movement of Russian heavy-caliber artil-lery systems across its border into Ukraine is "imminent." That escalation of military posturing is not the retreat the West was hoping sanctions would encourage.

Putin has been walking a tightrope in recent months, limiting his involvement in the Ukraine crisis just enough to avoid truly biting Western sanctions. But the downing of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet July 17, blamed by the U.S. and Ukraine on pro-Rus-sian rebels — possibly with Russian help — might have changed the equation, galva-nizing support among reluc-tant Europeans for additional penalties.

US: Russia has fired rockets into Ukraine DEB RIECHMANN

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Stepping up pressure on Moscow, the U.S. on Sunday released satellite images it says show that rockets have been fired from Russia into neighboring eastern Ukraine and that heavy artillery for separatists has crossed the border.

The images, which came from the U.S. Director of National Intelligence and could not be indepen-dently verified by The Associated Press, show blast marks where rockets were launched and craters where they landed. Officials said the images show

heavy weapons fired between July 21 and July 26 — after the July 17 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

The four-page memo is part of the Obama administration's push to hold Russia accountable for its activities in neighboring Ukraine, and the release could help to persuade the United States' European allies to apply harsher sanctions on Russia.

The timing of the memo also could be aimed at dissuading Russia from further military posturing. The Pentagon said just days ago that the movement of Russian heavy-caliber artillery systems across its border into Ukraine was "imminent."

Moscow has angrily denied allegations of Russia's involvement in eastern Ukraine. Russia's foreign ministry over the weekend accused the U.S. of conducting "an unrelenting campaign of slander against Russia, ever more relying on open lies."

Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone Sunday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, urging him to stop the flow of heavy weap-ons and rocket and artillery fire from Russia into Ukraine, said a State Department official. Kerry did not accept Lavrov's denial that heavy weapons from Russia were contributing to the conflict, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details of the call.

WASHINGTON — If you have health insurance on your job, you probably don't give much thought to each year's renewal. But make the same assumption in one of the new health law plans, and it could lead to costly surprises.

Insurance exchange custom-ers who opt for convenience by automatically renewing their coverage for 2015 are likely to receive dated and inaccu-rate financial aid amounts from the government, say industry officials, advocates and other experts.

If those amounts are too low, consumers could get sticker shock over their new premiums. Too high, and they'll owe the tax man later.

Automatic renewal was sup-posed to make the next open-enrollment under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul smooth for consumers.

But unless the administra-

tion changes its 2015 approach, "they're setting people up for large and avoidable premium increases," said researcher Caroline Pearson, who follows the health law for the market analysis firm Avalere Health.

It could be a new twist on an old public relations headache for the White House: You keep the health plan you like but get billed way more.

"It was our preference for (the administration) to have the capacity to update people's subsidy information, but they haven't been able to get that built," said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for the industry trade group America's Health Insurance Plans.

Here's the issue, in a nutshell:To streamline next year's

open enrollment season, the Health and Human Services Department recently proposed offering automatic renewal to 8 million consumers who are already signed up.

But the fine print of the HHS announcement said consumers who auto enroll will get the "the

exact dollar amount" of financial aid they are receiving this year.

That's likely to be a problem for a couple of reasons, not to mention inflation.

First, financial aid is partly based on premiums for a current benchmark plan in the commu-nity where the consumer lives. Because more plans are join-ing the market and insurers are submitting entirely new bids for 2015, the benchmark in many communities will be different.

Second, financial aid is also based on household income. If your income goes down, you are entitled to a bigger health insurance tax credit. If it goes up, you get less. The 2014 amounts could well be out of date and incorrect for many people. Financial assistance is also affected by age, family size and where people live.

And that doesn't get into another motivation for con-sumers to shop around: Premiums and choices for 2015 are changing, so your current plan may no longer be a good deal.

SANDY COHEN Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Amid the costumes and fantasy of this weekend's Comic-Con con-vention, a group of young women drew widespread attention to a very real issue — allegations of sexual harassment at the annual pop-culture festival.

Geeks for CONsent, founded by three women from Philadelphia, gathered nearly 2,600 signatures on an online petition sup-porting a formal anti-harassment policy at Comic-Con.

Conventioneers told Geeks for CONsent they had been groped, followed and unwill-ingly photographed during the four-day con-fab.

Meanwhile, what Geeks for CONsent and others regarded as blatant objectification con-tinued on the convention floor. Scantily-clad women were still used as decoration for some presentations, and costumed women were described as "vaguely slutty" by panel moderator Craig Ferguson. When Dwayne Johnson made a surprise appearance to pro-mote "Hercules," 10 women in belly-baring outfits stood silently in front of the stage for no apparent reason.

Groping, cat-calling and other forms of sexual harassment are a larger social issue, not just a Comic-Con problem. And many comics and movies still portray women as damsels in distress. But Geeks for CONsent says things are amplified at the festival, where fantasy plays such a large role.

"It's a separate, more specific issue within

the convention space," said Rochelle Keyhan, 29, director of Geeks for CONsent. "It's very much connected (to the larger problem) and it's the same phenomena, but manifesting a lit-tle more sexually vulgar in the comic space."

"Comic-Con has an explicit Code of Conduct that addresses harassing and offen-sive behavior," said Comic-Con International in a statement on Sunday to The Associated Press. "This Code of Conduct is made avail-able online as well as on page two of the Events Guide that is given to each attendee."

Earlier, Comic-Con spokesman David Glanzer told the Los Angeles Times that "anyone being made to feel uncomfortable at our show is obviously a concern for us." He said additional security was in place this year, including an increased presence by San Diego Police.

Keyhan's focus on Comic-Con began with a movement launched in her hometown called HollabackPhilly, to help end public harass-ment against women and members of the LGBT community. She and her colleagues developed a comic book on the subject in hopes of engaging middle- and high-school students, which is what brought them to Comic-Con.

Costuming, or cosplay, is a big part of the popular convention, with male and female fans dressing as their favorite characters, regardless of gender. A man might wear a Wonder Woman outfit, and a woman could dress as Wolverine. Keyhan and her colleagues — all in costume — carried signs and passed out temporary tat-toos during the convention that read, "Cosplay does not equal consent."
