ChalleNGe Academy praised at chamber meetingNola SizemoreStaff Writer

At a regular meet-ing of the Harlan County Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, member Ralph Souleyret complimented the Appalachian ChalleNGe Academy on their program and added that the acad-emy is helping the local economy by making a lot of their purchases locally.

“I don’t think the com-munity has yet realized the amount of money that the academy has put into this community already,” said Souleyret. “Through their continued operations from year to year, that’s where they will really help the community. It will pass down each year, grow-ing with different types of investments.”

Appalachian ChalleNGe Academy Admissions Placement Coordinator and Recruiter Dexter Day pre-sented a program on the mission of the academy and the benefits of becoming a mentor to cadets.

“The academy will train and mentor selected at-risk youth, aged 16 to 18, to become contributing mem-bers of society using the Model’s 8 Core compo-nents in a regimental envi-ronment during a 22-week residential and a one-year follow-up program,” said Day. “Every cadet at the academy must have a men-tor. We have 76 cadets at this time and can house up to 200.”

Souleyret said “there is no financial reward” for being a mentor to these

teenagers but “you will be rewarded in other ways.” He said graduates of the program “sell the program”

to others because of the change they experience.

“The more people who are involved with the pro-

gram, the more the word can be spread about the academy,” said acting chair-man Aimee Blanton.

Day said anyone wishing to participate in the acad-emy’s mentoring program may visit their website at acaharlan.org and print an application. After complet-ing the application, you may call 574-0303 or drop it off at the academy in Grays Knob.

Other items discussed included:

*Noted the 2012 award program will be semi-formal. Tuxes are not required, but coat and tie are requested.

*A Microsoft Office 365 seminar will be available for chamber members on Aug. 16.

*Loni Long, a represen-

tative on behalf of AFLAC Insurance, spoke to cham-ber members about the benefits offered by AFLAC and how it can help their employees.

*Noted the Harlan Daily Enterprise (HDE) will work with the chamber in hosting an educational workshop on how to use digital marketing to help their business. The event will be at the Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College - Harlan Campus from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sept. 18. For more information, you may con-tact HDE Regional General Manager Alexander Gould at 606-248-1010 Ext. 202.

Council hears discussion on water plant operatorNola SizemoreStaff Writer

During a meeting of the Lynch City Council on Tuesday, council members expressed concern over the city’s water plant operator, Wendy Brashears’, failure to attend council meet-ings. Missing the last four meetings, council members agreed to make department heads’ attendance to coun-cil meetings mandatory.

“I’ve got questions about the water/sewage report submitted that only Wendy can answer,” said council woman Anne Carr. “Was she asked to come to this meeting? Did she say any-thing about why she is not attending our council meet-ings?”

Mayor Johnny Adams said Brashears has not offered any reasons why she is not attending council meetings. He said he asks every department head to attend all council meetings to answer questions council members may have.

“They all know we want them to be here,” said Adams. “We could send the police down and bring them up here.”

Councilman Winston Yeary said after reading

Brashears most recent report where she reports failing her certification test saying, “I will not go into detail as to what happened and what had to be done, but rest assured I have took care of the situation and hope that something will be done about it,” he would like to ask her what she meant by this statement. She states in her report she

Lynch City Council mem-ber Carl Collins addressed a concern of the water plant operator not attend-ing meetings.

STATE/REGIONWoman pleads guilty in newborn’s death at prison

LA GRANGE (AP) — A southeastern Kentucky woman has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge in the death of her newborn daughter, who authori-ties say was hidden in a prison trash can.

WLKY-TV reports that 22-year-old Ashley Nicole Cox, of Corbin, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, tampering with evidence and concealing the birth of an infant. Cox, who had originally been charged with murder, appeared in Oldham County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

Police have said Cox was visiting a friend at Roederer Correctional Complex in La Grange two years ago when she went to the restroom and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Police said she put toilet paper in the baby’s mouth and hid her in a trash can, where she was later found dead.

Under the plea agreement, Cox will be sen-tenced to 20 years.

Man returning to prison after faked deathBLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana

judge has ordered that a man who faked his death by jumping from a Kentucky bridge must return to prison for violating his probation from a 1990s murder conviction.

Forty-year-old Wade Meisberger told a Monroe County judge that he was angry for not killing himself during what he called a suicide attempt from a Carrollton, Ky., bridge in June.

Crews searched the river for about 10 hours without finding Meisberger and he later posted Internet videos showing he was alive. Police cap-tured him last month in Madison, Ind.

The Herald-Times reports the judge said Meisberger blew the second chance he got in 2007 when he was released early from his sentence for killing a friend in Bloomington.

Meisberger claimed probation officers con-spired to return him to prison.

Beshear back in after overseas trade mission

FRANKFORT (AP) — Gov. Steve Beshear has arrived back in Kentucky after traveling to Europe on a trade mission aimed at creating more jobs for Kentucky.

Beshear met with business and political leaders in Germany and France over the past two weeks to promote Kentucky products and to strengthen ties with European companies already doing busi-ness in Kentucky.

Kentucky opened an office last summer in Germany, one of the state’s leading trade part-ners.

Direct foreign investment coming into Kentucky totaled more than $28.2 billion in 2007, the most recent data available. Germany ranked second in foreign investment, behind Japan. France ranked fourth.

is making plans to re-test in Frankfort at the end of August.

“For the last four months in a row we’ve asked her to come to these meet-ings and she has refused to come,” said councilman Carl Collins. “At the last meeting I suggested we put a little sting to that request to get our department heads here. What does council want to do about this?”

All council members agreed to make it manda-tory for department heads to attend council meetings as requested by the mayor and council members.

“Let it be known to her (Brashears), the city paid for her first test and she failed it. We are not pay-ing for another one,” said

Collins. “The city just can’t afford this.”

Adams said the next test Brashears takes will be at her own expense whether she passes or fails.

Brashears was contacted by phone on Wednesday and she said the only com-ment she has is that, she was not feeling well on Tuesday evening and that is why she didn’t attend the meeting.

In other council action:* Had first reading of the

city’s proposed 2012-2013 budget;

*Approved a resolution supporting a new veterans hospital facility in the Fifth Congressional District;

*Approved a resolution allowing access to all city streets for their firehouse project;

*Noted the city will be taking applications for their Walk of Legend 2012 nominee. Nominations may be made through Aug. 31. Applications may be picked up at city hall and submis-sions must include a state-ment as to why the indi-vidual or group is being nominated.

*Bids received for their

firehouse project were received and opened and the lowest bid from DWB Builders Inc., of Barbourville, was $10,000 over budget. Negotiations are being made to reduce their bid.

Obama: Romney would take health care back to 1950s

DENVER (AP) -- Seeking to rally a crucial constitu-ency, President Barack Obama on Wednesday warned women in swing-state Colorado that Republicans would seek to strip away health care benefits for them and cut funding for contraceptive services.

In a passionate pitch for his health care overhaul, Obama sought to draw a stark contrast with pre-sumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, saying his rival intended to take his health care law and “kill it dead” on the first day of his presidency and “get rid” of Planned Parenthood.

“They want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than

the 21st century,” Obama said, arguing that the deci-sions affecting a woman’s health are “not up to poli-ticians, they’re not up to insurance companies, they’re up to you.”

The rally -- it was the first of four events Obama planned for a two-day trip through the state -- was geared specifically to women, who were heav-ily represented in the 4,000-person crowd.

Both Obama and Romney see women as a critical part of their efforts to win Colorado, where the presidential race is tight three months from Election Day.

The Romney campaign dismissed Obama’s pitch to women as a distraction

from the sluggish econo-my.

“No false, recycled attacks can distract from the fact that President Obama’s four years in office haven’t been kind to women,” said Amanda Henneberg, a Romney campaign spokeswoman.

A new Quinnipiac University poll shows Obama and Romney tied among voters in Colorado households earn-ing between $30,000 and $50,000 per year -- an important target. Obama leads among voters with lower incomes while Romney is favored by those making more.

Obama said women’s issues resonated with him because of his wife, first

lady Michelle Obama, and his late mother. The president said he want-ed to ensure that Mrs. Obama “has control over her health care choices” and noted that his mother would have been 70 this year had she not died from cancer nearly two decades ago.

“I often think about what might have happened if a doctor had caught her can-cer sooner,” Obama said.

The president highlight-ed his decision to nomi-nate Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court and said the next president “could tip the balance in a way that turns back the clock for women in the next decade to come.”

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Thursday, August 9, 2012

Other Viewpoints

The Affordable Care Act offers a dramatic expansion of Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of low-income people in Kentucky and Indiana who have no health care cover-age.

Yet Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels still are hedging on whether to accept the expansion of the federal-state health plan for the poor and disabled, which will be funded entirely through the federal government for the first several years.

That’s understandable. Republicans, particularly haters of “Obamacare,” have used the program as a political cud-gel to bash away at Democrats in an election year. Some Republican governors are strutting around crowing about the fact they will refuse federal funds for the Medicaid expansion, among them Gov. Rick Perry of Texas whose state has the highest rate of people with no health insur-ance in the nation!

Let’s hope state leaders get bolder and wiser after the presidential election.

In Kentucky, where more than 660,000 people have no health coverage — about 16 percent of the population — it’s particularly urgent that officials do all they possibly can to get the state’s population healthy. This state has some of the worst health outcomes in the nation in areas such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and dental decay.

Better health care has the potential for a healthier, better-educated population and workforce.

“It’s pretty obvious this is going to result in significant savings across the system,” said U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, a Louisville Democrat, who is not afraid to embrace health care reform and the Medicaid expansion.

“People getting uncompensated care will have their health care paid for,” said Yarmuth, the Courier-Journal’s Laura Ungar reported. “We have an opportunity to pre-vent a lot of sickness, suffering and needless deaths.”

Yarmuth is absolutely correct. We hope other Kentucky officials join with him in embracing an expansion that could mean big changes for the people in this state, changes for the best.

erating about not caring about your reputation, your institution or the truth.

By those standards, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a blissfully free man.

The Nevada Democrat maintains that Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years. Reid’s charge is an intellectual and moral mess that makes the noto-rious question “When did you stop beating your wife?” seem rigorous by comparison.

Reid has a super-double-secret source he says is an investor in Bain who called to tell him, “Harry, he didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years.” Ordinarily, before repeating such a charge publicly, one would want a little proof, especially given that there’s no more rea-son that a Bain investor would be familiar with Mitt Romney’s tax returns than a Facebook investor would be familiar with Mark Zuckerberg’s.

Harry Reid, though, is liberated from all such mundane evidentiary stan-dards. Not to mention logic. His statements on Romney’s tax returns lurch from outlandish premise to completely unconnected conclusion. Listening to Reid try to make an argu-

ment is like watching the late besotted journalist Hunter Thompson try to solve a quadratic equation while high on acid.

The only thing that holds together Reid’s jumbled case is the vein of idiot mal-ice that runs through the whole rancid thing.

“Now, do I know that that’s true?” Reid mused to The Huffington Post about Romney not paying taxes. “Well, I’m not certain.” With that bow to episte-mological modesty, he pro-ceeded in the next breath to indict Romney yet again: “But obviously he can’t release those tax returns. How would it look?”

Reid took his case to the Senate floor, where he con-cluded a meandering ora-

tion, “Let him prove he has paid taxes because he has not.” In the twisted world of Harry Reid, if some-thing is not proven false, it must be true. He has all the cool analytic powers of the “birthers” and the “truthers.”

“I don’t think the burden should be on me,” Reid told Nevada reporters about proving his charge. “The burden should be on him. He’s the one I’ve alleged has not paid any taxes.” Reid has the judicial instincts of someone who might have enjoyed the legendary witch trials of hundreds of years ago when the accused were thrown into the water — and considered innocent only if they sank.

Reid’s alleged sources are ever-shifting. In The Huffington Post interview, it was one knowledgeable investor. On the Senate floor, it was a vague “the word is out.” To Nevada reporters, it was “a num-ber of people.” Tomorrow it may be the queen of England, and the day after that H&R Block.

Democrats relish the Reid smear. Anything to keep the attention off the economy and on Romney’s taxes or some other extra-neous matter. Nancy Pelosi says “it is a fact” that some-one told Reid that Romney

didn’t pay taxes. If she’s right, all it proves is that Reid is indeed repeating hearsay. Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, working for the re-election of the man who still pro-fesses to regret the petti-ness of American politics, cheered the Nevadan on: “Sen. Reid rightfully point-ed out that Gov. Romney has something to hide.”

No, he made a specific, fantastical charge. Reid isn’t a blogger, a cable host or even a Senate backbench-er. He’s the highest elected Democrat in Congress. But his station doesn’t mean anything to him; he’s a hack at heart. Reid’s chief of staff, David Krone, shot back at the senator’s critics as “cowards” and “hench-men.” According to Krone, the Republicans’ scorching reaction “shows you how scared they are that Harry Reid was telling the truth.” Yet more evidence for the majority leader’s files!

Republicans have con-demned Reid’s unsupport-ed allegations as modern-day McCarthyism. Old Tail Gunner Joe was deflated at the Army-McCarthy hear-ings when he was confront-ed with the famous ques-tion, “Have you no sense of decency, sir?” In the case of Harry Reid, it isn’t even worth asking.

Slimeball politics: Lies, cheap shotsWith a presidential can-

didate who constantly puts his foot in his mouth — when he can shove it past the silver spoon — and congressional candidates who demonstrate that the party is controlled by tea-party extremists, the Republicans should be in what George Bush the First called “deep doo-doo.” However, they are being kept afloat by the Democrats.

Obviously, the Republicans are being helped along by the super-wealthy, who are willing to pay a little of their fortunes to keep their licenses to steal. It provides the GOP a huge advantage having all that money to finance a campaign of distortion and fearmongering.

But the Democrats might be catching on. In the dirty pool competition, the party’s Senate leader, Harry Reid, is going for the tarnished gold. Without any evidence, Reid cites an alleged conversation with a “Bain Capital inves-tor,” who claims that Mitt Romney failed to pay taxes for 10 years, and contends that’s why Romney won’t make his returns public.

Who is this person? We have no way to know, since Reid ain’t saying,

raising the possibility he is making up the whole thing. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has gone bananas, calling Sen. Reid a “dirty liar.” That’s because Reid’s comments have gotten traction. Romney felt compelled to respond: “Let me say categorically, I have paid taxes every year,” he insisted, “lots of taxes.” He demanded proof and that Reid “put up or shut up.” But he won’t budge off his refusal to put up his own tax returns, so Democrats aren’t about to shut up.

Is this a dirty lie? Possibly. A justifiable cheap shot? Well, that’s a tougher one. It’s plausible

this is a Harry Reid con to exploit the widespread impression of Romney as a tax evader. That would plunge the Senate major-ity leader into the political gutter. He’d certainly have plenty of company as he wallows around.

This would be the same big-lie game played by the many Republicans who continue to slime us with “Birther” muck and the contemptible charge that Barack Obama is really a Muslim. The latter is par-ticular low-life nastiness — not only because it is untrue, but for how it pan-ders to the religious bigot-ry of so many Americans. So maybe Harry Reid positioning himself on the dark side is a bright spot for Democrats, consider-ing how often they allow themselves to get hosed.

Case in point: The loom-ing possibility of draconian cuts in Pentagon spending, part of the so-called end-of-the-year “cliff” the govern-ment is approaching. It’s the deadline imposed by a last-minute deal last year to avoid a default by the United States government. The devil’s bargain was worked out between both parties. Somehow, though, the Democrats are now on the defensive, successfully

portrayed by Republicans as the cause of pending doom if no agreement is reached in time.

Neither side is budging as we hurtle toward this “cliff,” but the GOP has successfully framed this as a failure of Obama, and already are blaming him for possible widespread layoffs in the defense indus-try. Just like they are clob-bering Mr. Obama for the nation’s debilitating unem-ployment. Never mind that the bottom fell out in the previous administration, caused by the very policies the Republicans promote. Their use of half-truths and hot-button language has put the onus on this White House. Where is it written that only they get to throw the mud? Maybe Harry Reid represents an awakening.

This is where some are bound to sigh about the sorry state of the American campaign process. They’re correct. And wrong. The reality at this point is that it’s not how you play the game, it’s who triumphs. And these days, usually it’s the bad guy who wins. Righteous protestations of justifiable outrage are for the losers. Maybe we should work on that. After the election.

Dear Readers: Autumn is the perfect time for reno-vations. Whether replacing ceiling fans, reorganizing cabinets or adjusting cur-tains, a step stool is helpful and practical. Lots of peo-ple have purchased collaps-ible or folding step stools to save space. The dangers of these stools need to be taken into consideration. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recent-ly released a report not-ing that some of the stools might collapse or break during use. Here are some recommendations from the CPSC about how to buy a safe step stool:

* Make sure the stool is sturdy. Ask to see a dem-onstration of the stability of the stool, or ask if you can try it out yourself.

* Look for stools with a handrail. It’s only CPSC-recommended if you can stand on the top step and still have a firm grasp on the handrail.

* When using your step stool, try to have someone nearby in case you need help. Check that the stool

is completely opened and stable on a dry, flat surface.

Research the products you are thinking about buy-ing, and ask about recalls or CPSC approval before buying a new stool.

case for my daughter that could be used to pack her flat iron when she spends a night away from home. There were so many deco-rative designs! I asked my daughter if I could have the

Today’s kids are busier than ever before. Be it the increasingly competitive nature of scholastic life or the increase of two-income households where kids need something to do other than come directly home after school, children today are much busier than their school-aged counterparts of yesteryear.

While it can be fun and beneficial for kids to par-ticipate in extracurricular activities, finding the right fit isn’t as easy as it sounds. When helping kids find an extracurricular activity, it’s best to consider a host of factors.

Especially keep in mind that not all kids are the same with respect to inter-ests. And what was enjoyed

by their parents won’t nec-essarily be enjoyed by them.

Getting Started:The best place to start

is to speak to kids about their interests. Just because Dad loved playing football doesn’t mean Junior is des-tined to be a gridiron great. Kids have their own inter-ests, and those interests can be cultivated with the right extracurricular activity. For example, a creative child might enjoy an after-school art class a couple of times per week. Parents should also consider extracurricu-lars that can help kids grow as people. For instance, a child who’s shy in public but loves hamming it up at home might embrace an after-school theater pro-

gram.Once options have been

discussed with kids, take in a session or two before committing to anything.

The shy youngster might visit the local theater pro-gram and enjoy it thorough-ly, or he or she might decide against it. Either way, a visit will give kids and parents a sense of what the program is like and whether or not it’s the right fit.

When visiting, observe the nature of the program. Is it an encouraging, vibrant environment? Do the adults and kids involved appear to be having fun?

Get the 411:Parents want their kids

to be as safe after school as they are during it. When

looking for an extracurricu-lar activity, inquire about the staff-to-child ratio and about the staff’s profession-al background. Any staff-to-child ratio that is greater than 12:1 likely indicates a program that is under-staffed, which could mean kids won’t get the attention they need.

Also, ask for the staff’s references and work history in the field of child care. If certification is necessary or recommended, make sure the staff meets all require-ments.

Parents should also inquire about program costs. Though many pro-grams are upfront about fees, some have hidden fees that can add up. Such fees can be for uniforms, equip-

ment, class trips, etc. Extra fees don’t have to exclude a program from consider-ation, but it’s better to know about them in advance than have them come as a sur-prise.

Consider a Child’s Grade Level:

A child’s age and grade level should also be con-sidered when choosing an extracurricular activity.

Consult teachers about finding an age-appropriate extracurricular activity. For example, less competitive activities that emphasize fun might be more appro-priate for kids in kindergar-ten and the first grade. For second graders, activities not offered at school, like learning to play an instru-

ment, can help cultivate a child’s interest in a noncom-petitive environment.

As kids reach third grade and beyond, consider more rules-based activities, including team sports, as kids at that age are more capable of understanding rules and handling losing than younger kids.

As children get older and move on to middle school, look for activities that rein-force learning and help develop a young person’s character, including their ability to interact with oth-ers.

When looking for an extracurricular activity for kids, parents should consid-er a host of factors, includ-ing the child’s interests and age.

NEW YORK (AP) — Gabby Douglas is golden when it comes to online popularity, too.

The gymnastics gold med-alist is the most clicked-upon athlete on NBC’s Olympics website, the network said. Through Sunday, her profile on the site had more than 18 million page views. That’s far above the second-ranked athlete, swimmer Michael Phelps, whose profile had just over 7 million page views.

Four of the five most clicked-upon athletes were female gymnasts, NBC said. The Olympics event with the most live streams through was the gold-medal-winning performance of the female gymnasts, with 1.46 million streams, followed by Usain Bolt’s sprint for gold.

The NBC Olympics web-site has surpassed 1 billion page views, doing it in about half the time it took to reach that milestone in Beijing four years ago, the network said.

Another study, from the Pew Research Center for People & the Press, found that 73 percent of Americans said they had watched at least some of the Olympics on television. That falls in line with NBC’s ratings, which have been strong throughout the games.

Braun powers Brewers to sweep of RedsMILWAUKEE (AP) —

Mat Latos was dominant for seven innings. Then the Reds just couldn’t catch a break in eighth.

Ryan Braun snapped a 0-for-18 slump with a two-out RBI double in the eighth inning, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win Wednesday over the Reds.

“That’s a tough one to lose right there, especially

when they have to get two two-out hits to win,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

But that’s just what the Brewers did against Jonathan Broxton (1-1), who started the eighth in

relief of Latos.With the Reds lead-

ing 2-1, Broxton quickly retired the first two bat-ters before an infield single by Norichka Aoki. With Carlos Gomez up to bat, Aoki stole second and took third on catcher Dioner Navarro’s throwing error. Gomez hit a soft liner that just got over the outstretched glove of shortstop Wilson Valdez and Aoki scored to tie the

game.Gomez stole second and

Braun followed with a hit that fell in front of the Reds center fielder.

“I hung a pitch to Gomez and broke his bat. Then Braun I broke his bat,” Broxton said. “He hit it right to where nobody can get to it. Three of them were well placed balls they hit.”

Baker chose to pitch to Braun, who was hitless in

all three games, instead of Aramis Ramirez.

“You’re in a situation where you’ve got to face Braun or Aramis Ramirez,” Baker said. “Aramis is one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now. So we chose to pitch to Braun and he blooped it in front of (Chris) Heisey out there.”

Broxton had given up only three hits and no earned runs in his last four

outings.“Brox has been throw-

ing the ball so well,” Baker said.

Braun, came in batting .304, but had struggled at the plate in the three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals and was hitless against Cincinnati. Ramirez has seen his bat-ting average climb to .295 and leads the NL in extra base hits (54) and doubles (37.

Jones responds to criticisms

LONDON (AP) — With her voice choking and eyes welling with tears, U.S. hurdler Lolo Jones took issue with what she called “heartbreaking” criticism a day after she barely missed winning an Olympic medal,

Jones appeared on NBC’s “Today” on Wednesday and was asked about a recent story in The New York Times that said her stardom had more to do with marketing than her accomplishments on the track.

“They just ripped me to shreds, and I just thought that that was crazy,” Jones said.

She finished fourth in the 100-meter hurdles Tuesday, 0.10 seconds behind bronze medalist Kellie Wells. At Beijing four years ago, Jones was leading the final when she hit the ninth of 10 hurdles and wound up seventh.

“Putting your heart out there, obviously, it opens you up to a lot of negativ-ity,” Jones said.

The Times article said Jones has “received far greater publicity than any other American track and field athlete competing in the London Games. This was based not on achieve-ment but on her exotic beauty and on a sad and cynical marketing cam-paign.”

Jones is backed by big-name sponsors and has appeared on magazine cov-

ers, including a recent issue of “Time.” Her charisma and childhood narrative — her family once lived in a church basement in Iowa — only add to her story.

She has no Olympic or world outdoor champion-ship medals, but in her interview Wednesday she defended her record and her dedication to her sport.

“I work six days a week every day for four years for a 12-second race, and the fact that they just tore me apart, it was just heart-breaking,” Jones said. “I am the American-record holder indoors. I have two world indoor titles and just because I don’t boast about these things, I don’t think I should be ripped apart by media.

“So, I mean, I laid it out there, I fought hard for my country, and I think it’s just a shame that I have to deal with so much backlash when I’m already so bro-kenhearted as it is.”

Golden rematch in Olympic soccer: US v. Japan women

LONDON (AP) — It’s not just about the gold medal. It’s about redemp-tion.

The Olympic women’s soccer tournament couldn’t ask for a better finale. United States vs. Japan. Rematch of the World Cup final. Wembley Stadium. Quite possibly the larg-est crowd ever to watch a women’s game.

And an American team flush with passion, bent on mending the heartache from a penalty kick shoot-out loss to the Japanese in Frankfurt 13 months ago.

“I’ve been hoping for this final,” U.S. forward Abby Wambach said, “from the moment I stepped off the podium in Germany.”

The Americans got a hero’s welcome for their second-place finish from fans enthralled by the come-from-behind cliff-hangers and engaging personalities. Brave faces were in order. The kudos were nice, but coach and players were bummed out. Coach Pia Sundhage went home to Sweden and tuned out soccer completely for a while. Hope Solo went on “Dancing With the Stars.”

The passage of time helped a little. Winning the gold on Thursday would do so much more.

“It’s definitely redemp-tion,” midfielder Carli Lloyd said. “But it’s also an opportunity, an opportu-nity to show the world that we’re the No. 1 team.”

The Americans are still ranked No. 1 and are the two-time defending

Olympic champions. They have the deepest, most tal-ented team in the tourna-ment. By contrast, Japan’s World Cup triumph was a stunner, as well as a psy-chological salve for a nation recovering from a triple tragedy of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear melt-down.

But the Nadeshiko were worthy of the title, play-ing disciplined, tactical and savvy soccer. The savviness returned at the Olympics, when coach Norio Sasaki told his players to delib-erately try not to score during a game against South Africa because a vic-tory would have required extra travel. It’s a tactic Sundhage said she would never try.

Japan also has a chance to become the first team to win the World Cup and Olympics in back-to-back years.

If Thursday’s news conferences are any indi-cation, Japan is the more relaxed team headed into the rematch. Sasaki and his players laughed, smiled and cracked jokes through-out. Through a translator, the coach introduced goal-keeper Miho Fukumoto as a “goddess.” When asked to explain, he laughed and realized the word lost something from Japanese to English because he was trying to make a pun.

Sasaki acknowledged the Americans perhaps “have a greater incentive” to win after last year’s result, so he said his challenge is to see “how much stronger we

Tate has early lead competing for Bengals’ wide receiver spot

CINCINNATI (AP) — Armon Binns didn’t have to learn the Bengals’ system all by himself. He had a com-panion in the same situation.

Like Binns, receiver Brandon Tate was learning things on the fly last sea-son. Neither caught a pass in a game. Both spent a lot of time in practice on the scout team, imitating the opponents’ receivers to help the defense.

They had so much in com-mon that they became close.

“We were with each other with the ‘look’ team against the defense, so we were always hyping each other up, trying to make plays,” Binns said on Wednesday. “It was kind of the same deal. But this time, it’s for real.”

This time, they’re compet-ing for the same job.

Tate is listed first on the depth chart when the Bengals (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) open their preseason on Friday night against the New York Jets at Paul Brown Stadium. It’s the first chance for the Bengals’ inex-perienced group of receivers to start sorting itself out.

Finding a complement to receiver A.J. Green is one of

Cincinnati’s priorities in the preseason. The Bengals have little experience at receiver with Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell gone from last year.

Andrew Hawkins led the group of backup receivers last season with 23 catches in 13 games. The 5-foot-7 receiver is trying to win a role.

Like Tate and Binns, Hawkins spent the first part of last season just learn-ing his way around. The Bengals signed him during training camp after St. Louis waived him.

“I don’t know if there’s one big thing I’ve tried to improve on,” Hawkins said on Wednesday. “It’s little things, like noticing the cov-erage earlier, getting on the same page with the quarter-back.

“As a receiver, I think

that’s the No. 1 thing. Whether you’re fast, slower, taller or smaller, if you’re on the same page with the quarterback, you can elevate your game.”

Tate has the most NFL experience in the group. He played for New England in 2009-10 and caught 24 pass-es for 432 yards and three touchdowns. He was a kick-off returner for the Patriots and quickly moved into that role with the Bengals after they claimed him off waivers at the start of the season.

Tate returned 42 kickoffs last season, averaging nearly 24 yards, and had 51 punt returns for an average of about 11 yards, with one touchdown. He didn’t get to catch a pass.

This year, he gets the first shot at a starting receiver spot as well.

“That doesn’t mean any-thing,” he said. “There’s a lot of competition ahead.”

Binns was a star at the University of Cincinnati. He signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent and was waived in September. He signed onto Cincinnati’s practice squad and got Chad Johnson’s old jersey No. 85, but wasn’t on the

active roster as the Bengals won a wild-card spot. He was added to the roster for a first-round playoff loss at Houston but didn’t catch a pass.

“I’m real comfortable,” Binns said. “I know a lot of guys around here. I’m not the quiet kid that nobody knows just sitting around here. I’m real comfortable with the system, the quarter-backs. I’m on the same page with them. It’s been a good transition.”

For now, he’s No. 2 on the depth chart.

NOTES: Coach Marvin Lewis said top draft pick CB Dre Kirkpatrick is improv-ing. Kirkpatrick hurt his left knee before the start of camp and hasn’t been cleared for practice. He’s working out on the side of the field. “Dre Kirkpatrick is doing very, very well,” Lewis said. … Tate is listed as the top punt and kickoff returner again, with Hawkins as the backup at both. Hawkins has never returned punts. “Repetition gets you more comfortable, so we’re going into the first preseason game and I’ll get an opportunity to work on the punt return game,” Hawkins said.

US overwhelms AustraliaLONDON (AP) — All’s

fine with Kobe Bryant, and the gold medal hopes of the U.S. men’s Olympic basket-ball team, too.

Bryant silenced his crit-ics and broke open a tight game with six 3-pointers in the second half Wednesday night as the Americans advanced to the semifi-nals of the London Games with a 119-86 victory over Australia.

On a night when LeBron James had a triple-double, the story was Bryant’s awakening from his Olympic slumber. The five-time NBA champion scored 20 points, flashing three fingers in the air after his third consecutive 3-pointer in the fourth quarter had pushed the game well out of reach and proved that he would indeed deliver the kind of game expected of him in London.

“I kind of knew what but-ton to push with him. I was talking to him at halftime and in the third quarter and I guess I pushed the button. He woke up and to see that, I’ve been on the other side of the ball and had that sit-uation before,” teammate Carmelo Anthony said.

James finished with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists for the Americans,

who advanced to their third straight Olympic semifinal meeting with Argentina, which beat Brazil ear-lier Wednesday. Deron Williams added 18 points, Anthony had 17 and Kevin Durant 14.

Australia scored the first 11 points of the second half, cutting the Americans’ lead to three after back-to-back 3-pointers by Joe Ingles. The U.S. lead was only six before Bryant, who has never gotten in an offensive rhythm in London and just minutes earlier had com-mitted another puzzling offensive foul, finally broke out.

He made a 3-pointer, then batted away a pass, chased it down along the left sideline and pulled up for another 3 that made it 70-58. James followed with a basket that pushed it to 14, and the Americans never let the Australians get much closer.

Not the way Bryant shot, anyway.

He finished 6 of 10 behind the arc, making three straight in the fourth quarter to blow it open, the crowd chanting “Kobe! Kobe!” before he finally missed on a ridiculously long attempt before calling it a night.

Patty Mills scored 26 points and Ingles had 19 for Australia, which had the misfortune of running into the U.S. in the quarterfi-nals for the second straight Olympics.

Even the Australian fans were cheering for Bryant as he walked to the locker room after a postgame interview. First, he knocked fists with the Aussies’ kangeroo mascot, wearing boxing gloves on his hands.

Bryant sure knocked out the Australians.

Bodies fell and blood flowed in a physical first half, the Americans taking plenty of hits but delivering them as well, such as the one that sent Australia’s David Barlow to the bench with a bloody nose that took a while to control.

But the spirited play brought out the best in Bryant, who insists he’s content taking a lesser role with other, much young-er scorers such as James, Durant and Anthony will-ing to carry the load.

He said the same things in Beijing and came through with 20 points in the gold-medal game, so the Americans know they can count on him to rise to a challenge.

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012:

This year you often say one thing yet do another. Your mixed messages could cause confusion and a sense of unfulfillment. You might feel like you never get what you want, which could be a reflection of problematic com-munication. You might decide to add more clarity to the way you express your thoughts. If you are single, you could attract someone through your work or public commitments. Though this bond might not be “it,” you could really enjoy this person. If you are attached, as a couple you decide to be more visual than in recent years. TAURUS approves of how you pres-ent yourself.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Pressure builds, and your

finances could be tied to the situa-tion. Sorting through ways to defuse the matter to the approval of those involved could take unusual talent. Go after a creative venture, and trig-ger your imagination in other areas of your life as well. Tonight: Your treat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Get into the moment. You

might not have the agreement from others that you might like. Discover alternatives. A meeting helps you fig-ure out the most logical and effective way to proceed. A friend inspires you. Tonight: Absolutely what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Listen to your instincts con-

cerning a child or loved one. You see someone in a new light as a result of detaching and/or tapping into a dif-ferent perspective. Do not hesitate to work on what feels right to you. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Focus on success and

feeling successful, and you will be successful. You demonstrate the power of positive thought and go for what you want. Your imagina-tion seems endless, and it allows you to identify with others. Tonight: Whatever would make you happiest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to do

something a lot differently from how someone else does it. The issue is that this person seems to have more leverage than you do. Your creativity will help even out the power balance. It might be smart to pull back some. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Allow your mind to wander

and gain insight. You might laugh at yourself and how you personalized a situation. Laughter is more important than you realize in staying relaxed and open. Someone you care about touches base. Tonight: Go with what pleases you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Deal with others directly —

you will like the results a lot better. You see a situation for what it offers, and more. Go out of your way to let someone know how you feel. Your instincts carry you far in your deal-ings. Tonight: Dinner for two.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink

what is happening within your imme-diate circle. By asking questions, you could cause others to distance themselves. Relate in an open man-ner, and it will bring forth more of the information you are curious to hear. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You want to do something

differently, but you might not be sure how to proceed. You could be overwhelmed by a family member or close friend who could be a little too gushy for your style. This person is simply sharing. You do not need to do anything. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to fit some

downtime in, but a child or loved one needs some playtime. You might need to rearrange your schedule, but do what you feel is right. You have an intuitive hunch about money or love. Tonight: Get into the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH What you’re thinking about

getting done or working with might not be viable if you wait much longer. Though you have a strong intuitive hunch about a financial matter, it does not mean that it’s right. Be sure that you can afford for this feeling to be wrong. Tonight: Close to home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your emotions lead you,

and you have little choice but to fol-low them. Your caring self-expres-sion means a lot, whether you are expressing an innate talent or telling someone how you feel. Tension builds around your daily routine. Tonight: Ever playful.
