Several criminal cases filed in Kane District Court
By Ted Lutz
Staff Writer
Several criminal cases
have been filed in Kane
District Court.
Information on the following cases is from court
documents and court information:
Muthaiyan Udayasurian, 29, of Rockville, Md.
is charged with driving
under the influence (DUI)
of alcohol.
His blood alcohol content (BAC) was determined to be .085 percent,
just above the DUI level.
State Police Trooper
Ryan Marcinko placed the
charges, which include
failure to signal a turn,
careless driving and failure to dim headlights for
an oncoming vehicle.
The defendant was
operating a black 2014
Cadillac that entered
the traffic stream from a
parked position on Chase
Street in Kane.
The defendant is free
on $2,500 (unsecured) bail
pending a preliminary
hearing Sept. 3 in Kane
District Court.
Michael
Thomas
Dance, 38, of Erie is
charged with the unauthorized use of a 2013 silver Ford Taurus owned by
Audrey Bell.
Timothy Mix placed the
charge for the incident
Dec. 10, 2013 at 10 Phillips St., Mt. Jewett.
Dance, who is free on
$2,500 (unsecured) bail,
waived his preliminary
hearing Monday in district court. The county
public defender's office is
representing Dance. The
case is headed to McKean
County Court.
Case against Mt. Jewett
man is withdrawn
A criminal case against a
Mt. Jewett man was withdrawn Monday by the district attorney's office prior
to a scheduled preliminary
hearing in Kane District
Court.
Chris Lee Benjamin,
44, of 26 Anderson St., Mt.
Jewett, was charged earlier this year with assault,
harassment and making
terroristic threats.
Former
Mt.
Jewett
Police Chief Steve Hale
placed the charges after
the defendant allegedly
struck the victim in her
jaw and chin with a closed
fist, court documents show.
He also "grabbed a kitchen
knife" and began to pull
it out of the knife block in
the direction of the victim,
court records show. The
victim is not identified in
court documents.
Smethport
District
Court Judge William Todd
arraigned Benjamin and
set bail at $5,000 cash.
The defendant was placed
in jail in lieu of bail, but
was later released, court
records show.
The preliminary hearing
was scheduled four times
prior to Monday and postponed each time.
Coudersport
attorney
Jarett Smith represented
Benjamin.
Paul Fuller, 50, of 1
Thompson Park, Kane,
is charged with DUI and
careless driving.
Kane Borough Police
Officer Mike Henry placed
the charges after a traffic
stop at Thompson Park
and Biddle Street in Kane.
The defendant was operating a black 1992 Ford
pickup truck.
Fuller's BAC was determined to be .300 percent-nearly four times the legal
limit.
The defendant is scheduled to appear Thursday
in Central Court at the
McKean County Courthouse. He is free on $2,500
(unsecured) bail.
Charles
Thomas
Duffy, 32, of Route 6,
Smethport, is charged
with threatening or harassing Lafayette Township Fire Chief Donald
Fowler during the extrication of a passenger in a
traffic accident.
He also is charged with
disorderly conduct and
harassment and with resisting arrest.
Marcinko
placed
the
charges after the defen-
dant was pushing and
shoving to prevent being
handcuffed by Troopers
Marcinko and Shane Buffone.
Duffy originally was
placed in the McKean
County Jail in lieu of
$10,000 cash bail. He
waived his preliminary
hearing Monday in Kane
District Court. He has
been released from jail on
$10,000 (unsecured) bail
pending proceedings in
McKean County Court.

HARRISBURG
(AP)
— Gov. Tom Wolf blasted
Republican
lawmakers
Monday over a plan to
force piece-by-piece override votes of his budget bill
veto, saying GOP leaders
cannot negotiate in good
faith while staging what
the Democrat called an
unconstitutional and unproductive move.
Wolf's comments in a
letter to lawmakers came
a day before Tuesday's
planned veto override
votes and the resumption
of talks on an eight-weekold budget stalemate that
has shut off funding to
schools and a range of
safety-net services.
The House Republican
plan could pose a political dilemma to Democratic
lawmakers.
Supporting
Wolf's veto would mean
taking a series of votes
against funding for edu-
cational and
human services
programs that
they actually
support.
"We cannot
afford the delay that will
Tom
occur with an
Wolf
unconstitutional veto attempt," Wolf
wrote. "Republican leadership cannot negotiate
in good faith to move our
Commonwealth forward
while at the same time leveling public ultimatums
and undertaking unconstitutional measures like
this."
Democrats have vowed
to oppose the line-by-line
veto override attempts to
prevent Republicans from
achieving the necessary
two-thirds majority. Republicans rebuffed accusations that their plan is a
political stunt and insisted
nothing in case law or the
constitution outlaws a veto
override that targets a
piece of the budget, rather
than the whole vetoed bill.
"The Democrats not
wanting to vote to send
money to these countless
organizations caught in
the middle of the stalemate is offensive," House
Republican leaders wrote
in a memo to rank-and-file
members Monday.
Pennsylvania is nearly
two months into its new
fiscal year without the
new year's spending plan
in place. On June 30, Wolf
vetoed the GOP's entire
$30.2 billion, no-newtaxes budget bill within
hours of its passage with
only Republican support.
Wolf's $31.6 billion plan
has stalled in the GOP-

Family feud? Obama caught between Clinton, Biden ambitions
Dimmer outlook for U.S.
ble awkward- for Democratic powerbro- his political career.
WASHINGTON (AP) —
economy, wages and hiring President
"I think that should give
ness in the ker Vernon Jordan, and
Barack Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) —
For much of the economy's
fitful and sluggish six-year
recovery from the Great
Recession, analysts have
foreseen a sunnier future:
Growth would pick up in
six months, or in a year.
That was then.
The latest Associated
Press survey of leading
economists shows that
most now foresee a weaker
expansion than they had
earlier. A majority of the
nearly three dozen who responded to the survey predict tepid economic growth,
weak pay gains and modest hiring for the next two
years at least.
Nearly 70 percent said
they thought the economy's
growth would remain below its long-run average of
3 percent annually through
2017. The economy hasn't
attained that pace since
2005.
And if they're right, don't
expect much of a pay raise:
Fifty-eight percent of the
economists think wage increases for the next two
years will remain stuck
below a long-term annual
average of 3.5 percent.
What's more, if growth
doesn't pick up from its
modest
post-recession
pace of 2.2 percent a year,
nearly six in 10 expect hiring to fall to an average of
175,000 jobs a month or
below, down from its pace
of 243,000 jobs a month for
the past year.
At the start of the year,
many economists thought
falling gas prices and
strong hiring would finally

is the man in the middle,
caught between the White
House aspirations of two
of his closest advisers: Vice
President Joe Biden and
former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
For
months,
White
House officials expected
Clinton to be the Democratic nominee in the
2016 election. Some of
Obama's top political advisers moved to New York
to run her campaign and
Obama appeared to give
his tacit approval, saying
she would be an "excellent
president."
But that bet on Clinton
suddenly looks less certain. With Biden weighing his own presidential
run more seriously amid
signs of weakness in Clinton's campaign, the White
House faces the prospect of
a family feud over who will
become heir to Obama's
legacy.
"Certainly
he's
got
something at stake here,"
White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said Monday
of Obama's interest in the
2016 election.
Biden's recent overtures
to donors and Democratic
officials have led to palpa-
Barack
Obama
West
Wing
as aides —
many
with
close ties to
Clinton, the
vice
president or both
—
try
to
maintain im-
partiality.
Earnest raised the prospect that Obama could
endorse a candidate in
the Democratic primary,
though others close to
the president say it's unlikely he'd publicly put his
thumb on the scale if Clinton and Biden were locked
in a close contest.
In
picking
between
Biden and Clinton, Obama
would be making a choice
between two of the most
influential members of his
administration.
Obama and Clinton long
ago turned their political rivalry from the 2008
primary into an alliance.
Clinton left the administration in early 2013 after
four years as Obama's secretary of state, but she and
the president still get together for occasional meetings. They both attended
a birthday party in Martha's Vineyard last week
Obama played golf on the
tony Massachusetts island
with former President Bill
Clinton.
However, some White
House officials were irked
by revelations that Clinton
sidestepped administration guidelines by using a
private email account on
her own computer server
to do State Department
business. Privately, some
Obama allies also say
they're miffed at Clinton's
handling of the email controversy, which continues
to dog her campaign.
Meanwhile, Obama and
Biden appear to have developed a genuine friendship during their six-anda-half years in the White
House. When Biden's son,
Beau, died of brain cancer
earlier this year, Obama
delivered a moving eulogy
in which he referred to the
vice president as a "brother." In the weeks after the
younger Biden's death,
Obama made sure the vice
president was by his side
for high-profile administration announcements.
Earnest said Obama
viewed his selection of
Biden as a running mate
as the smartest decision of
you some sense of the president's view of Vice President Biden's aptitude for
the top job," Earnest said.
On Monday, Obama and
Biden met for their weekly
lunch in the president's
private dining room. Both
men spent much of August
on family vacations and
their lunch marked their
first in-person meeting
since Biden stepped up his
deliberations and outreach
about a possible campaign.
People familiar with
Biden's thinking say he's
yet to make a final decision, but is likely to announce his political future within a month. The
vice president is consulting with a close circle of
longtime advisers, though
there are said to be divisions within that group
about whether he should
run.
Those close to Obama
and Biden insisted on anonymity because they were
not authorized to publicly
discuss the vice president's
deliberations or the White
House's view of the 2016
race.

Strict school nutrition WOLF
guidelines subject of
Thompson forum
FROM
PLEASANT
GAP
–
Congressman Glenn ‘GT’
Thompson (R-5), a member
of the House Committee on
Education and the Workforce, today joined with
school district and nonprofit officials, parents and representatives from nutrition
firms, in discussing federal
school nutrition guidelines.
In particular, the event
was focused on the implementation of the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of
2010, which created new
stringent standards for
these programs. The forum
was also an opportunity for
stakeholders to weigh in on
the possible reauthorization of the law, which is set
to expire on Sept. 30.
“Schools across Pennsylvania, and the nation,
have voiced their concern
since the Healthy Hunger
Free Kids Act took effect,”
Thompson said. “We heard
today that new guidelines
are causing students to
pack their lunch, or even
buy lunch at nearby convenience stores. It is so
important to hear directly
from our schools on what is
working with this law and
what needs to change.”
Among the issues discussed at the forum was
the decline in school lunch
program
participation
across the nation since the
implementation of the law,
the difficulty for school nutritionists to implement
the guidelines and the increased cost to taxpayers
to implement the law. A decline in milk consumption
in schools was also detailed
at the forum.
“Very few beverages
have the same nutritional
value as milk,” Thompson,
a member of the House
Agriculture
Committee,
added. “That is why I have
sponsored to a bipartisan
bill which reaffirms the requirement that milk is offered with every meal. We
need to make sure children
are getting the nutrition
they need to grow and stay
healthy.”
Thompson is also a cosponsor of the School Food
Modernization Act, which
will allow schools to participate in a loan assistance program through the
United States Department
of Agriculture to be used
to buy new kitchen equipment, provide assistance
to school administrators
and food service directors,
and strengthen training
and technical assistance to
school food service personnel.

“Early Canada Goose
Hunting”
Chapman State Park
will again allow Early Canada goose hunting beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8. The
statewide season, designed
to reduce local nuisance
geese populations, runs
through Friday, Sept. 25.
Complete details regarding hunting seasons and
bag limits can be found on
the Pennsylvania Game
Commission’s
website:
www.pgc.news.state.pa.
Non-migratory Canada
goose populations have
increased drastically in
recent years, causing crop
damage and nuisance
problems in residential
neighborhoods. Park visitors often complain about
goose excrement on state
park beaches and other
facilities, and water quality at some state parks has
been adversely affected.
Resident Canada geese
have been among the suspected cause of high fecal
coliform counts at some
Pennsylvania state park
beaches, forcing swimming
restrictions during peak
use periods.
Many state parks have
taken measures, including
anti-goose fencing and/or
the use of loud noisemakers, in attempt to deter the
waterfowl or scare them
away.
All Game Commission
rules and regulations governing the early Canada
goose season will apply at
state parks. Park information can be found at: www.

controlled Legislature.
Meanwhile, both sides
are trying to get the upper
hand in the political blame
game.
Wolf charges that the
Republican budget plan
shortchanged schools and
human services, let the
Marcellus Shale natural
gas drilling industry off
the hook for a tax increase
and worsened the state
government's
long-term
budget deficit.
The veto override plan
"will distract from serious
negotiations and shows
once again that Repub-
lican leadership is not
serious about reaching a
consensus on the budget,"
Wolf wrote.
Republicans
accuse
Wolf of holding safety-net
service providers hostage
to get what he wants, including a multibilliondollar tax increase that
Republicans oppose. Wolf
did not need to veto the
entire Republican budget,
and could have allowed
funding to keep flowing to
crucial services while negotiations continued, Republicans say.
In his letter, Wolf did
not say how he would respond to last week's Republican counterproposal
on the budget. The GOP
met a key Wolf demand
to boost public school aid,
while insisting on an end
to the traditional benefit in Pennsylvania's two
big public employee pension systems in favor of
a 401(k)-style plan for
future employees, a shift
Wolf has opposed.
The governor wrote,
however, he is taking the
offer seriously and suggested he will look to Republicans for more con-
cessions on funding for
education and human services.
Senate GOP leaders
said through a spokeswoman that they appreciated Wolf's consideration
of their most recent offer, but backed the House
GOP's move to override
the veto.
"Social services agencies and others are hurting because of Gov. Wolf's
choice to veto their funding," spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher said. "We are
looking to take the necessary steps to help them."
How China's tremors could weaken the world's major economies
WASHINGTON (AP) —
China is exporting something new to the world
economy: Fear.
Global investors are
quaking over the prospect
of a devastating slump in
the world's second-biggest
economy. And they're fast
losing confidence that China's policymakers, seemingly so sure-footed in the
past, know how to solve the
problem.
The worst-case scenario
is that a collapsing Chinese economy would derail
others around the world
— from emerging markets
in Chile and Indonesia to
industrial powers such the
United States, the European Union and Japan.
The free-fall in the stock
markets, in the words of
David Kelly, chief global
strategist at JP Morgan
Funds, is "Made in China."
This year, the International Monetary Fund expects China's economy to
grow 6.8 percent, which
would be its weakest peace
since 1990.
China, which was posting double-digit growth in
the mid-2000s, is trying to
engineer a daunting transition — from overheated
growth fueled by exports
and often-wasteful investment to slower growth built
on consumer spending.
Official numbers show
the Chinese economy grew
Christian J. Howard
Allegheny Eye Care
7 percent from January
through March from a year
earlier. Yet there's growing
suspicion that Beijing's statistics are failing to capture
the extent of the slowdown:
Auto sales, electricity consumption and construction
activity are "all looking
very weak," Kelly notes.
"Everybody felt they
could slow down to about
7 percent (annual growth)
and that wouldn't be the
end of the world," says
Sung Won Sohn, economist
at California State University Channel Islands. "It
looks like it's slowing down
even beyond that."
Big American companies
such as Caterpillar and
Chevron have acknowledged the damage that
China's troubles are causing them. China's troubles
have also depressed several technology stocks.
Shares in Apple, which
has enjoyed strong sales of
iPhones and other products
in China, are down nearly
20 percent the past five
weeks.
On the surface, at least,
the panic on Wall Street
might seem overdone. After all, a 1 percent annual
drop in China's economy
translates into just a 0.2
percent pinch to America's economy, according to
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.
Likewise, a China pullback

crashed. The government
has since been trying in
vain to clean up the mess.
The latest trouble started Aug. 11, when Beijing
unexpectedly
devalued
China's currency, the yuan.
Authorities explained that
they wanted to catch up
with investor sentiment,
which suggested that the
yuan was overvalued from
having been linked to a rising U.S. dollar.
Skeptics worried that
the devaluation was instead a desperate move to
bail out China's struggling
exporters: A weaker yuan
gives Chinese goods a price
edge in foreign markets.
In the aftermath, pain
from
slower
Chinese
growth and a weaker yuan
could spread. Oxford Economics calculates that a 10
percent drop in the yuan
this year would reduce
South Korea's growth in
2016 by 1.16 percent and
Indonesia's 0.32 percent.
Slowing industrial output and construction in
China means less demand
for Chilean copper, Australian coal and Brazilian
iron ore. It also squeezes
Taiwan and South Korea,
which make components
Chinese factories use to
assemble electronics, cars
and other products. Also
suffering is Japan, which
sends about a fifth of its exports to China.

of that size would slow annual growth in the 19-country eurozone by only 0.10
percent to 0.15 percent,
according to UniCredit Research.
That sort of slowdown is
hardly catastrophic.
So why the hysteria?
For one thing, China's
troubles raise doubts about
whether its policymakers have the tools to keep
their economy growing at a
healthy pace — something
that's been a reassuring
constant for more than two
decades.
Recently, Sohn says,
"The Chinese government
has not been able to control
its economy and the financial market."
Beijing had cushioned
its economy during the
2008-2009 financial crisis
by ordering state-owned
banks to ply companies
with loans to build roads,
houses and factories. The
result: an escalation of
corporate debt that's now
feeding the problems.
The Chinese authorities also made the misguided decision to talk up
stock prices, encouraging
inexperienced investors to
buy shares. The idea was
that companies could issue
stock into a rising market
and use the proceeds to reduce their debts.
But stocks rose to unsustainable levels and

years.
— All but two of the
economists think the Federal Reserve will raise the
short-term rate it controls
by year's end, with 80 percent pegging the Fed's midSeptember meeting as the
mostly likely time.
— Assuming the Fed
raises rates this year, economists forecast that the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate will rise from 3.9
percent to 4.4 percent by
mid-2016 and 4.8 percent
by the end of 2016. Those
levels are still low by historical standards.
— China's economic
troubles will worsen, in
turn slowing the global
economy. In just the past
month, China's exports
have plummeted along
with factory output, and
its stock market has sunk.
The country has devalued its currency in part to
try to boost exports, but
growth is expected to slip
to 7 percent this year, the
slowest pace since 1990.
Half the economists said
they think China's growth
will weaken further in the
next year to below a 6 percent annual pace and slow
the global economy.
China's woes have triggered sharp selloffs in global financial markets.
The economists cited
several reasons for their
dimmer outlook for the
United States. Many pointed to a slowdown in the
proportion of Americans
with jobs. Baby boomers
are retiring, young people
are staying in school longer and some of the unemployed have given up on
their job hunts.
Increases in worker efficiency have also faltered
since the recession, further
limiting the economy's output.
"The slowdown in labor
force growth is the main
reason (economic) growth
in the U.S. will be slower
than it was in the second
half of the previous century," said Luke Tilley, chief
economist at Wilmington
Trust.
Outside of population
growth and productivity,
"a huge surge in exports"
could spur a faster expansion, said Robert Johnson,
an economist at Morningstar. Yet economists noted
that the dollar has surged
about 20 percent in value
in the past year compared
with a basket of other currencies. That's made U.S.
exports more expensive
overseas.
stake for Obama in the
2016 election is more than
just his personal relationships with Clinton and
Biden. Much of his legacy
is contingent on a Democratic president maintaining his policies on immigration, health care and
climate change, as well
as the nuclear agreement
with Iran.
Since announcing her
candidacy in April, Clinton has largely backed
Obama's policies. However, she's distanced herself
from his decision to ap-
prove offshore oil drilling
in the Artic and said she
would have voted against
his bid to get fast-track authority for an Asia-Pacific
trade deal if she were still
in the Senate.
Clinton has more latitude than Biden in breaking with Obama policies
given that her portfolio in
the administration was
largely limited to foreign
affairs. The vice president,
however, has been a central figure in wide-ranging
administration
policies
and has been the point
person on everything from
the economic stimulus to
gun control legislation to
Ukraine. "Biden, as the
president's partner, would
be closely identified with
the Obama legacy," said
David Axelrod, a longtime
Obama political adviser.
However, he added that
"any Democrat will carry
the benefits and burdens
of Obama into this election."
Some Democrats say
Biden's strongest campaign strategy would be to
cast himself as an econom-
ic populist. He met over
the weekend with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, a favorite of the
Democratic Party's progressive wing whose support would be a major coup
for Biden.
Democrats say Biden
supporters are also quietly
reminding influential operatives and donors that
the vice president was
ahead of both Obama and
Clinton on some issues
that are now cornerstones
for the party, including gay
marriage.
PITTSFIELD – The
36th annual Wild Wind
Folk Art and Craft Festival is scheduled at the
Warren County Fairgrounds in Pittsfield on
Saturday and Sunday,
Sept. 12-13.
The hours are 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. each day rain or
shine.
Approximately 90 artisans will set up their
“shops” in the quaint animal barns and 60 more
will spread out in the
grassy areas surrounding
the barns.
This is a fine opportunity to discover delightful
goods that are unavailable in the more commercial shopping venues.
Be sure to plan on having lunch as you take a
break from enjoying all of
the sights and sounds of
the event.
There will be the usual
fare of many delectable
food choices to whet your
appetite. If you want a
piece of your favorite pie,
you should arrive early
before they are all gone.
Many of the early birds
get a cup of coffee and a
piece of pie before they
head out taking all there
is to see and do at the festival.
Live music, provided by
Dan Hunt's group, “Highway Radio” of Cincinnati,
Ohio will perform Saturday and the Blue Dawg
Bluegrass group will be
on tap on Sunday in the
picnic area to add to the
already delightful ambiance.
Visitors can relax at
picnic tables, on straw
bales or benches while
they partake in the large
selection
of
fabulous
lunch options.
This is a perfect day (or
weekend) to enjoy with
the entire family. There is
something to interest every gender and age.
For one example, many
visitors will enjoy an unusual exhibit this year.
The Circle S. Leather
artisans of Hadley will
be on hand to demonstrate the ancient skill of
“brain-tanning,” which is
historically a method of
preparing animal skins
that were used for clothes
as well as shelters, and
pouches. There will also
be several of their leather
items for sale.
Other
demonstrators are sure to be crowd
pleasers as well.
Children will be delighted with the animal
zoo, pony rides, balloon
maker and the Birds of
Prey exhibit which gives
informative lectures by
the Tamarack Rescue facility.
According
to
Chris
Conley, New York Times
best seller author of Emotional Equation “We need
breaks from our routines.
The truth is most people
in the world see their
happiness in the context
of the group or village experience.
So, make a pact with
yourself to witness and
experience some communal joy and attend at
least one festival a year.”
The good news is you
don't have to leap continents to do this. People
gather from miles around
to attend The Wild Wind
Festival and it promises
to bring you a place to relax and enjoy the day or
weekend.
The festival is held rain
or shine since the majority of exhibits are under
cover. There is a fee for
admission, and a reduced
admission fee for seniors
(65 and older). Children
12 and under are
free of charge. This
fee represents a two-day
pass. If you attend on
Saturday, you may return
on Sunday free simply by
signing the Second Day
Pass Book at the entrance
gate.
There is plenty of free
parking and is handicapped accessible. So
bring your friends and
family and let us welcome
you to the best craft show
in northwest Pennsylvania.

Iran deal picks up support
following Reid's endorsement
WASHINGTON (AP) —
With Senate Democratic
leader Harry Reid on board,
the nuclear agreement between Iran and six world
powers is picking up momentum to survive fierce
opposition from Republican
and Israeli opponents.
A day after Reid's announcement that he will
back the deal pushed by
President Barack Obama,
Michigan Democratic Sen.
Debbie Stabenow threw her
support behind the agreement too, declaring in a
press release Monday: "I
have determined that the
imminent threat of Iran
having a nuclear weapon
outweighs any flaws I see
in the international agreement. For this reason, I
must support the agreement." Stabenow became
the 28th Senate Democratic
supporter of the deal, pushing backers closer to the
34 votes they would need
to sustain Obama's veto
of any resolution of disapproval. Increasingly supporters seem to be in reach
of getting the 41 votes they
would need to block such a
resolution from passing the
Senate in the first place, despite unanimous GOP opposition and furious lobbying
by backers of Israel.
Reid announced his support on Sunday, pledging to
do "everything in my power"
to support the pact.
Only two Senate Democrats — Chuck Schumer
of New York and Robert
Menendez of New Jersey —
have announced opposition
to the deal.
Instead, steady stream
of Democrats have recently
backed the deal, and Reid's
support provided an opportunity for others to jump on
board. Reid's announcement
came ahead of Obama's visit
to Nevada Monday for an
energy summit. Stabenow,
who is close to Schumer,
had been seen as a question
mark on the deal. "America
must choose between the
following: an international
coalition working together
to stop a nuclear Iran while
increasing our joint efforts
to stop their non-nuclear
terrorist activities, or no
international effort, no surveillance, no accountability
and a nuclear Iran within
a few months," she said.
Republicans and the Israeli
government strongly oppose
the deal struck by the United States, Russia, China,
Britain, France and Germany with Iran, which seeks
to keep Iran from building
a nuclear bomb in exchange
for billions in international
sanctions relief. They say
the agreement makes too
many concessions to Iran
and could actually enable
that country to become a
nuclear-armed state.
Congress plans a vote
next month on a resolution
disapproving of the deal,
which Obama has threatened to veto. Opponents
would then need two-thirds
majorities in the House and
the Senate to override.
House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi already has
said House Democratic supporters have the votes necessary to sustain Obama's
veto despite unanimous
GOP opposition.

Guest Commentary
The End of the
China Envy
A funny thing happened
on the way to China's inevitable global dominance
-- the country's economic
tumult rocked markets
around the world.
China long ago replaced Japan as the Asian
boogeyman whose superior economic model is going
to sweep all before it. This
is such a readily accepted
article of faith that it is
held, in its various forms,
across the spectrum from
self-consciously cosmopolitan elites like Thomas
Friedman to bombastic
populists like Donald
Trump.
Friedman, the New
York Times columnist, has
written, "I cannot help
but feel a tinge of jealousy
at China's ability to be
serious about its problems
and actually do things
that are tough and require
taking things away from
people" (including, it must
be said, their freedom).
Such is his regard for China's governance that he
confessed in one column to
impure thoughts: "Forgive
me, Heavenly Father, for
I have cast an envious
eye on the authoritarian
Chinese political system,
where leaders can, and do,
just order that problems
be solved."
Trump routinely rues
how much smarter China's leaders are than ours,
and in his announcement
speech noted, with regret,
how China "has bridges
that make the George
Washington Bridge look
like small potatoes."
It is manifestly true
that a closed, low-income
economy that adopts some
market reforms can grow
quickly; that a dictatorial
government can manipulate the economy to serve
its ends; and that government-directed investment
can build lots of bridges.
None of this, though,
makes for a sustainable,
First World economy, let
alone a juggernaut that
should be feared and envied by the United States.
China might have
bright, shiny airports and
gauzy GDP numbers, but
that is window dressing
on a badly distorted economic system that is being
managed about as well as
you'd expect by a group
of corrupt, self-interested
statists, which is to say
not well at all.
Some perspective is
in order with regard to
China's economic position vis-a-vis the United
States. As Derek Scissors
of the American Enterprise Institute points
out, "American national
wealth is almost twice
that of China and Japan
combined," and "the average American makes 12
times as much annually as
the average Chinese."
China's double-digit
growth numbers might
be impressive, but even
assuming that they can
believed, they aren't as
telling as they seem. "Remember," Paul Dibb and
John Lee write in a report
for the Australian-based
Kokoda Foundation think
tank, "that the Soviet
Union officially tripled in
size from 1950 to 1973, yet
its economic model was
fundamentally flawed as
we realized in hindsight.
GDP is essentially an
accountant's tool used to
document final economic
activity within a country
in any given year. But
GDP does not measure
whether economic activity
is productive, profitable or
even commercially irrational."
In China, in many cases, the economic activity is
none of the above. Politically connected stateowned enterprises are
favored over every other
business. China has larded on the debt since 2007
-- it has quadrupled and
hit 282 percent of GDP,
according to a McKinsey
report last year -- and
it has been plowed into
fixed investment that is
often senseless. A country
famous for its "ghost cities," massive unoccupied
developments, obviously
has a huge malinvestment
problem.
The Chinese government has talked up
reforms as it seeks to put
the economy on a sounder
long-term footing. The list
of necessary changes is incredibly long. For a truly
modern economy, China
needs a commercial banking system, less powerful
state-owned enterprises,
free capital flows, greater
labor mobility and a
proper retirement system,
not to mention the rule of
law, property rights and
an independent judiciary,
among other things. Yet
progress has been halting
and slow.
China has been able
to forge such astonishing
economic progress for so
long because it started
from a very low point.
That is not something to
be envied, nor are its challenges as it strives not to
dominate the world, but to
avoid hitting a wall.

Guest Commentary
Is Trumpism the New Nationalism?
Since China devalued its
currency 3 percent, global
markets have gone into a
tailspin. Why should this
be?
After all, 3 percent devaluation in China could be
countered by a U.S. tariff of
3 percent on all goods made
in China, and the tariff
revenue used to cut U.S.
corporate taxes.
The crisis in world markets seems related not only
to a sinking Chinese economy, but also to what Beijing
is saying to the world; i.e.,
China will save herself first
even if it means throwing
others out of the life boat.
Disbelievers in New
World Order mythology
have long recognized that
this new China is fiercely
nationalistic. Indeed, with
Marxism-Leninism dead,
nationalism is the Communist Party's fallback faith.
China has thus kept
her currency cheap to hold
down imports and keep exports surging. She has run
$300 billion trade surpluses
at the expense of the Americans. She has demanded
technology transfers from
firms investing in China
and engaged in technology
theft.
Disillusioned U.S. executives have been pulling out.
And the stronger China
has grown economically,
the more bellicose she has
become with her neighbors
from Japan to Vietnam
to the Philippines. Lately,
China has laid claim to
virtually the entire South
China Sea and all its islands and reefs as national
territory.
In short, China is becom-
ing a mortal threat to the
rules-based global economy
Americans have been erecting since the end of the
Cold War, even as the U.S.
system of alliances erected
by Cold War and post-Cold
War presidents seems to be
unraveling.
Germany, the economic
powerhouse of the European Union, was divided until
recently on whether Greece
should be thrown out of the
eurozone. German nationalists have had enough of
Club Med.
On issues from mass
migrations from the Third
World, to deeper political
integration of Europe, to
the EU's paltry contributions to a U.S.-led NATO
that defends the continent,
nationalistic resistance is
rising.
Enter the Donald. If
there is a single theme
behind his message, it
would seem to be a call for
a New Nationalism or New
Patriotism.
He is going to "make
America great again." He is
going to build a wall on the
border that will make us
proud, and Mexico will pay
for it.
He will send all illegal
aliens home and restore
the traditional value of
U.S. citizenship by putting
an end to the scandal of
"anchor babies."
One never hears Trump
discuss the architecture
of our rules-based global
economy. Rather, he speaks
of Mexico, China and
Japan as tough rivals, not
"trade partners," smart antagonists who need to face
tough American negotiators
who will kick their butts.
They took our jobs and
factories; now we are going
to take them back. And if
that Ford plant stays in
Mexico, then Ford will have
to climb a 35-percent tariff
wall to get its trucks and
cars back into the USA.
Trump to Ford: Bring
that factory back to Michigan!
To Trump, the world is
not Davos; it is the NFL.
He is appalled at those
mammoth container ships
in West Coat ports bringing in Hondas and Toyotas.
Those ships should be
carrying American cars to
Asia.
Asked by adviser Dick
Allen for a summation of
U.S. policy toward the Soviets, Ronald Reagan said:
"We win; they lose."
That it is not an unfair
summation of what Trump
is saying about Mexico,
Japan and China.
While the economic nationalism here is transparent, Trump also seems to be
saying that foreign regimes
are freeloading off the U.S.
defense budget and U.S.
military.
He asks why rich Germans aren't in the vanguard in the Ukraine crisis.
Why do South Koreans,
with an economy 40 times
that of the North and a
population twice as large,
need U.S. troops on the
DMZ?
"What's in it for us?" he
seems ever to be asking.
He has called Vladimir
Putin a Russian patriot
and nationalist with whom
he can talk. He has not
joined the Republican herd
that says it will cancel the
Iran nuclear deal the day
they take office, re-impose
U.S. sanctions and renegotiate the deal.
Trump says he would
insure that Iran lives up to
the terms.
While his foreign policy
positions seem unformed,
his natural reflex appears
nonideological and almost
wholly results-oriented. He
looks on foreign trade much
as did 19th-century Republicans.
They saw America as
the emerging world power
and Britain as the nation
to beat, as China sees us
today. Those Americans
used tariffs, both to force
foreigners to pay to build
our country, and to keep
British imports at a price
disadvantage in the USA.
Then they exploited
British free trade policy to
ship as much as they could
to the British Isles to take
down their factories and
capture their jobs for U.S.
workers, as the Chinese do
to us today.
Whatever becomes of
Trump the candidate,
Trumpism, i.e., economic
and foreign policy nationalism, appears ascendant.

steps of the palace— unlike
the quieter, more-subdued
welcome for visiting heads
of state. The four men listened to a translation of
Hollande's speech through
earpieces, and the visibly
proud mothers of Stone and
Skarlatos looked on.
Belgian Prime Minister
Charles Michel and U.S.
Ambassador Jane Hartley
also attended the ceremony, along with the head of
French national railway authority SNCF.
The men showed "that
faced with terror, we have
the power to resist. You also
gave a lesson in courage, in
will, and thus in hope," Hollande said.
Norman said it was less
a question of heroism than
survival.
"I said to myself, 'You're
not going to die sitting there
doing nothing,'" he told The
Associated Press after the
ceremony. "I would do it
again. But I don't know — I
think you never know the
reaction you will have in
those kinds of situations."
The businessman said
he "never thought I'd ever
been given such a medal. I
will try to be a credit to this
honor."
His arm in a sling and his
eye bruised, the 23-year-old
Stone has said he was coming out of a deep sleep when
the gunman appeared.
Skarlatos, a 22-year-old
National Guardsman who
was recently back from Afghanistan, "just hit me on
the shoulder and said 'Let's
go,'" Stone said.
With those words, Hollande said, a "veritable carnage" was avoided.

Americans, Briton who thwarted
attack get France's top honor
PARIS (AP) — The president of France pinned his
country's highest award, the
Legion d'Honneur, on three
Americans and a Briton on
Monday, saying they "gave
a lesson in courage" by subduing a heavily armed attacker on a high-speed train
carrying 500 passengers to
Paris. President Francois
Hollande said that while
two of the Americans who
tackled the gunman were
soldiers, "on Friday you
were simply passengers.
You behaved as soldiers but
also as responsible men."
Hollande then pinned
the medals on U.S. Airman
Spencer Stone, National
Guardsman Alek Skarlatos,
and their longtime friend
Anthony Sadler. All took
part in subduing the gunman as he moved through
the
Amsterdam-to-Paris
train with an assault rifle
strapped to his bare chest.
British businessman Chris
Norman, who jumped into
the fray, also received the
medal.
The Americans looked
earnest and slightly overwhelmed — and a little under-dressed — for the unanticipated event in the ornate
Elysee Palace. Their shortsleeved polo shirts and
khakis contrasted with the
gilded and velvet-curtained
ceremonial hall as Hollande
read out their names one by
one — and kissed them on
each cheek, in French style.
It was an unusual ceremony for the French president's office too, as dozens
of photographers loudly
shouted out the Americans'
names as they approached
Hollande standing on the

Kiss named Clarion assistant wrestling coach
CLARION
–
Kyle
Kiss, 26, a former assistant coach and wrestler
at North Carolina, was
named as the assistant
wrestling coach at Clarion
University by athletic director Dave Katis.
"We are really happy
to announce the hiring of
Kyle Kiss to be our assistant wrestling coach here
at Clarion," said Katis. "He
had all the ingredients we
were looking for in an assistant coach and will do a
great job for our program
under coach Ferraro."
"I am incredibly excited
about adding Kyle to our
staff," said second-year
head coach Keith Ferraro.
"He brings some new excitement to the program
and has a philosophy that
fits in well with the fabric of our program. He is
already developing strong
relationships with our
team and will
be a huge
part of an
environment
that breeds
success."
Kiss, a native of Loch
Arbour, New
Kyle
Jersey and a
Kiss
2007 graduate of Ocean Township
High, was a four-time New
Jersey state placewinner.
He was second at states as
a senior at 171 while also
placing second at Beast of
the East. He was seventh
at 171 as a junior and second at Beast of the East,
fifth as a sophomore at 160
and seventh as a freshman
at 145 pounds.
Kyle moved on to wrestle for the Tar Heels at
North Carolina starting in
the 2007-08 season at 174
pounds, posted 19 wins
and was fourth at ACC’s.
After a red-shirt season,
he notched 24 wins at 165
and placed third at ACC’s
in 2010. Kyle was injured
and missed the 2011 campaign and came back in
2012 to post 19 wins and
placed fourth at ACC’s at
165. He was nationally
ranked in the top 20 during the 2012 and 2010 seasons.
A 2012 graduate of UNC
with a B.S. degree in exercise and sports science,
he became the head coach
of the Carolina Wrestling
club from 2012-15 and was
an assistant coach at UNC
during the 2014-15 seasons.
"I am really happy to be
here at Clarion," said Kiss.
"I really like the direction
coach Ferraro is taking
the program andz want to
be part of growing a winning program. I’ve met so
many great people here, I
can’t wait to get the season
started."
Clarion notes: Kiss replaces former Eagle NCAA
Qualifier Tyler Bedelyon
who was the interim assistant last season …
Coach Ferraro begins his
fourth season at Clarion
and his second year as
head coach… A native of
Brookville, Ferraro was
named interim head coach
on Sept. 25, 2014 when
Troy Letters stepped down,
and then was named head
coach on Dec. 16… The
Golden Eagles were 1-16
in dual meets last season,
fifth at PSAC and seventh
at EWL… Clarion opens
its 2015-16 season with its
annual blue-gold match on
Oct. 23, hosts the Clarion

Presidents Cup to reduce number of matches
EDISON, N.J. (AP)
— The PGA Tour agreed
Monday to reduce by four
the number of matches in
the Presidents Cup, giving
the event its fewest matches since it began in 1994.
International team captain Nick Price has been
lobbying for the change
to help keep the matches
close and interesting. The
Americans have won the
last five times by a combined score of 95-75, and
by at least three points
each time.
For the Presidents Cup
in South Korea on Oct.
8-11, Thursday and Friday will have five matches
(fourballs or foursomes),
down from six matches.
Saturday will consist of
four matches of fourballs
and foursomes, followed
by 12 singles matches on
Sunday.
Each player will be required to compete in two
of the four team matches.
Previously, all players had
to compete in at least three
team matches.
"After numerous meetings and discussions, it
was apparent that both
captains felt passionate
about their respective positions, as did their potential team members," PGA
Tour Commissioner Tim
Finchem said. "But with no
clear consensus between
the two sides, it was up to
me to make a decision that
would be best for the event
overall."
The Presidents Cup began in 1994 with 32 matches and went to 34 matches
in 2003.
The Presidents Cup was
created to give international players from outside
Europe a chance to compete in a team event made
popular by the Ryder Cup.
At the time, four of the top
10 in the world ranking
were Price, Greg Norman,
Ernie Els and David Frost.
The Americans had just
two players (Fred Couples
and Corey Pavin) in the
top 10.
But this has been a lopsided event with a few exceptions.
The Americans have
won eight out of 10 times,
and the combined score
in those eight victories
was 153-113. The International team's lone victory
was 20½-11½ in 1998 at
Royal Melbourne, and the
matches ended in a draw
in South Africa in 2003.
"I think just looking at
the record of the Presidents Cup, we're 1-9-1.
I think all of us on the
team feel that a points
change would really make
it more exciting and more
competitive," Price said
this month before meeting with Finchem. "I think
win, lose, or draw, we all
want to see it come down
to the final match on Sunday instead of being done
with eight matches left on
the golf course on Sunday.
That's a big deal."
Price said the International team historically
lacks depth compared with
the Americans, though
that wasn't always the
case. For the 2007 matches at Royal Montreal, the
International team had
nine of the top 20 in the
world, compared with five
of the top 20 for the Americans. But the Americans
didn't lose any of the 12
foursomes matches and
breezed to a victory.
Finchem also took one
small step toward eliminating a glaring weakness
in the event — both teams
run by one tour. Starting
in 2015, the host team captain will decide whether to
start the Presidents Cup
with foursomes or fourballs.
Finchem also said the
Presidents Cup would
revert back to singles
matches being halved at
the end of 18 holes. After
the tie in South Africa,
singles matches went extra holes until there was a
clear winner. The last four
times, that hasn't been an
issue.
Cardinals look to improve pass blocking in camp's final week
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)
— The No. 1 priority for the
Arizona Cardinals' offensive line is to keep Carson
Palmer upright.
And there were issues in
that area in last weekend's
22-19 preseason loss to San
Diego.
Palmer, a 35-year-old
quarterback coming off ACL
surgery, played less than a
quarter and was sacked
twice. Backup Drew Stanton was sacked four times.
All six sacks occurred in the
first half.
Coach Bruce Arians,
speaking Monday as the final week of training camp
got under way, said the
problems were a combination of getting beat physically and making mental
errors.
"We had two mental errors that we just turned
guys loose," Arians said.
"(Right tackle) Bradley
(Sowell) got beat on a spin
move and (left tackle) Jared
(Veldheer) got beat on the
snap. Now whether or not
the guy (Melvin Ingram)
was offsides, you can argue
with the officials on that
one, but I've never seen Jared get beat like that without
the guy being offsides."
General manager Steve
Keim, in his weekly radio
appearance on Monday,
said the Cardinals can have
an explosive offense but
Palmer has to be given time
to pass the ball.
"If we can protect Carson,
we have some guys who can
not only create separation,
but can be explosive," Keim
said.
Running backs shared
the blame with the offensive
line.
"It's one thing to get beat
physically, but to blow assignments mentally is unacceptable," Keim said.
There are two changes
on the line since camp began. With Mike Iupati out
for several weeks following
surgery to repair a torn meniscus, Ted Larsen stepped
into the left guard spot.
Arians
said
Larsen
played well except for a
"dumb" personal foul penalty.
With Bobby Massie facing a suspension of probably three games, Sowell
has moved into the right
tackle spot. But he could
be pressed by Earl Watford,
who has had a good camp.
Watford didn't gain any
ground Monday, though,
because he sat out practice
with an ankle injury.
First-round draft pick
D.J. Humphries, subject of
much criticism by Arians
for his inconsistency and effort, will get some work at
left tackle this week after
playing exclusively at right
tackle up to this point.
"He's going to be backup
tackle for us," Arians said,
"so if he's going to dress on
Sunday, he's got to be able
to play (right and left), so
we've got to get him a little left tackle work. That's
his natural position so it
shouldn't take him long to
re-establish his footwork,
and then we'll get him right
back to (the right side)."
Arians expressed concern about the continued
absence of inside linebacker
Sean Weatherspoon.
Signed as a free agent
with the idea of making him
a leader at that position,
Weatherspoon has yet to
practice due to a hamstring
injury. Arians said Weatherspoon probably will be out
most of this week.
"I need to see a lot. I
haven't seen anything yet,"
Arians said.
Weatherspoon missed all
of last season with an Achilles injury.
Arians praised the play of
rookie quarterback Phillip
Sims against the Chargers.
It remains a tight battle between Logan Thomas and
Sims for the No. 3 quarterback spot, Arians said. "It's
two dogs, one bone."
And the competition remains close at center between A.J. Shipley and Lyle
Sendlein. Someone asked
Arians how much input
Palmer had on which of the
two centers gets the job.
"None," Arians said.
"Their butts are about the
same."
Notes: Arians said Jerraud Powers was being
shut down for a time due
to a hamstring problem. ...
Running back Chris Johnson has been upgraded and
he could be back at practice
in the next few days. Arians
had said the newly signed
back would be out one to
two weeks. .... Arians said
the starters will get extensive playing time Saturday
night at Oakland, although
not all will play into the
third quarter.
NEW YORK (AP) — CC
Sabathia has been placed
on the 15-day disabled list
with right knee inflammation that could end his
season. New York Yankees
manager Joe Girardi said
Monday there is no timetable for the big left-hander's
return, and he kept open
the possibility that the
35-year-old Sabathia might
not pitch again this year.
The staff leader, Sabathia
came out of his start Sunday after just 2 2-3 innings
and immediately went for
an MRI. The plan is to have
Sabathia stay behind when
the team goes on its upcom-
ing six-game road trip. The
rest of the rehabilitation will
depend on how he responds
to rest and treatment. "The
MRI really didn't show any
changes from before, but
obviously he is pretty sore,"
Girardi said.
Sabathia has been hampered by the knee the past
few seasons. He had surgery last year and was limited to only eight starts.
This year, he's slumped
to 4-9 with a 5.27 ERA in
24 starts. He's had the knee
drained twice and recently
received a pain-killing shot,
all part of the plan to help
him get through the season.
Girardi, in fact, was surprised Sabathia wasn't prevented from pitching until
he came out of his last start.
"It's been maintenance
all year long for us," Girardi
said. "We knew that going
in and we knew it could
rear its ugly head, and he
has had some shots before
and was able to pitch and it
didn't seem to be an issue.
But we knew it would take
a lot to get him through the
season." The Yankees will
be getting right-hander Michael Pineda back Wednesday after a stint on the DL
with a forearm strain, and
Bryan Mitchell, hit in the
face by a line drive on Aug.
17, is nearing a return from
the seven-day concussion
list. Girardi said Mitchell
will go back to long relief.
Girardi also said Sabathia's absence shouldn't
affect his plan to use a modified six-man rotation down
the stretch to protect their
starters.
"We won't need a sixth
man every time," Girardi
said. "You get to the month
of September. If you have to
be creative to get the guys
an extra day, because you'll
have more guys in the bullpen, you can do it that sort
of way."

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Todd
Gurley has been cleared to
practice with the St. Louis
Rams, but the 10th overall
pick in the draft still won't
play in the preseason.
Without him, the first
team offense has mustered
three points in two games.
Coach Jeff Fisher is not concerned, adding he thought
the starters looked good
practicing against the Cowboys for two days last week
in Oxnard, Calif.
"You guys all ask me the
same questions: What's up
with your offense?" Fisher
said Monday. "We keep it
basic.
"Our offense is coming,
it's coming."
Part of the problem may
be too much time on the
road, a self-inflicted wound.
The Rams have had one
practice at home since playing the preseason opener at
Oakland. "The bottom line
is this: We need to have a
great week of practice and
we need to play well," Fisher said. "We'll have some
normalcy to our week."
Mostly. Perhaps to keep
players on their toes, the
Rams have three different
starting times for practices
this week — 4:15 p.m., 3:30
p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Fisher said he'd be patient with Gurley, rehabbing from left knee surgery
that ended his college career. Gurley has been working in individual drills and
now will progress to 7-on-7
and team segments.
"We'll take it slow but it's
going to be fun to get him
on the practice field," Fisher
said. "He had a blast in the
warmups last night and
then his fun stopped when
the game started because
he wanted to play, but he
understands the situation."
Gurley will be wearing
a brace. The running back
was cleared after the Rams
forwarded testing results
to Dr. James Andrews, who
did the surgery.
"He may need a day off
here and there, but it's good
news," Fisher said. "Dr. Andrews was really pleased
with his progress, so he's
cutting him loose."
Wide receiver Brian
Quick, rehabbing from
shoulder surgery, could
make his make his preseason debut Saturday
against the Colts. He's been
wearing a yellow beanie
over his helmet, signifying
no contact. Tre Mason and
Benny Cunningham are expected to share the running
back duties if Gurley isn't
ready for the opener Sept.
13 against the Seahawks.
Mason was the starter most
of his rookie season.
The pair has combined
for 40 yards on 14 carries.
Fisher said Trey Watts,
suspended for the first four
games for violating the
league's substance abuse
policy, will keep getting
plenty of work in the preseason. Watts had six carries for 53 yards and three
catches for 46 yards against
Tennessee.
"He's going to continue
to run the ball the next two
games," Fisher said. "We're
all disappointed; we addressed that."

Creamer, Lang fill out U.S. team for Solheim Cup
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
— Juli Inkster completed
her Solheim Cup team by
adding Brittany Lang and
Paula Creamer as captain's picks Monday night.
Creamer has one LPGA
Tour victory in the last
five years, but she brings
plenty of experience. She
has played on every Solheim Cup team dating to
her rookie season in 2005
and has a 12-6-5 overall
record. Lang will be play-
ing in her fourth Solheim
Cup.
Lang and Creamer were
the next two available
players from the Solheim
Cup standings.
"They add a lot to the
team not just as far as
golf, but chemistry and
experience," Inkster said.
"They are very competitive players. Paula has
been in a little bit of a
funk but I expect her to be
out of it and ready to go.
B Lang has been playing
really good. I'm looking
forward to it and I think
the team is really stoked
to get over there and turn
the tide a little bit. We are
going there as underdogs
but we are going to go in
there and fight for everything."
Europe won on U.S. soil
for the first time in 2013
at Colorado Golf Club
and has won the last two
times. The Americans still
have an 8-5 lead in the series.
The matches will be
Sept. 18-20 at the St. Leon-Rot Golf Club in Germany. Stacy Lewis, Lexi
Thompson, Cristie Kerr,
Michelle Wie, Brittany
Lincicome, Morgan Pressel, Angela Stanford and
Gerina Piller qualified
on points. Alison Lee and
Lizette Salas qualified
through the world ranking.
Eagles, NFL disagree over hit on Sam Bradford's knees
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— The NFL says Terrell
Suggs' hit on Sam Bradford's knees on Saturday
night wasn't illegal and
shouldn't have been a penalty.
Chip Kelly disagrees.
Suggs was called for
roughing the passer after
a low hit on Bradford in
the first quarter of Philadelphia's 40-17 win over
Baltimore. He argued the
quarterback is fair game
on zone-read plays. Dean
Blandino, the league's vice
president of officiating,
agreed.
"Because the quarterback has an option, he's
considered a runner until
he either clearly doesn't
have the football or he
re-establishes himself as
a passer," Blandino said
Monday.
"So it's not a foul by
rule. It's something that
we'll make sure that we
cover with our game officials because the defensive
end coming off the edge, he
doesn't know if the quarterback is going to keep it,
he doesn't know if he's going to take off and run or
drop back and so we treat
the quarterback in that instance as a runner until he
clearly re-establishes as a
passer or he clearly doesn't
have the football. The referee felt it was late so we'll
clarify that and make sure
everyone is on the same
page."
But Kelly said the play
was a simple handoff out
of a shotgun formation.
Replays show Bradford
didn't attempt to carry out
a fake.
"That's not a zone-read
play. On a zone-read play,
a quarterback can get
hit," Kelly said. "Not every
shotgun run is a zone-read
play. We don't run as much
zone-read as everybody
thinks we do. Are they going to hit every quarterback in the league when
they hand off in a shotgun?
"That's up to the league.
Sam wasn't going anywhere. If you watched him,
he was handing the ball off.
If our quarterback hands
the ball off and isn't going
anywhere, you shouldn't
be able to hit him. That's
the way the rule has been
explained to us."
Kelly said he hasn't spoken to Blandino yet.
"I think it'll be troubling for the league if every quarterback in the
shotgun can get it (after a
handoff)," Kelly said. "It's
up to (the NFL) on how
they want to handle it. If
that's what they want to
do, then we all have to adjust because everybody in
the league has runs out of
the shotgun."
Bradford played his first
game since his second ACL
surgery in 11 months. He
was upset with the hit. Left
tackle Jason Peters called
it "dirty" and suggested it
was premeditated.
"When you run the readoption, you have to know
the rules," Suggs said. "If
you want to run the readoption with your starting
quarterback that's had two
knee surgeries, that's on
you. That's not my responsibility to update you on
the rule. I could've hit him
harder on that. I didn't. I
eased up."
Bradford wants the
league to take a closer look
at the rule and zone-read
plays.
"I think there's just
probably just some gray
area as far as what a zoneread is," Bradford said.
"You running a play out of
the shotgun doesn't mean
it's a zone-read. We have a
lot of plays in our offense
where there are absolutely
no reads for us, it's an automatic give. I think the
league is probably just going have to clarify what a
zone-read is."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh defended his player,
agreeing with Blandino.
"I'm happy they came
out and told the full story
on that," he said. "As I read
most of the Eagles quotes,
I thought they understood
the play. One or two of
them didn't understand
the play, and you started
popping off about somebody's character, you've
crossed the line. That's not
really something that we
would really respect. But
most of those guys over
there understood the play
and that 55 was playing
hard and trying to get it
stopped. The quarterback
is not a passer, he's a runner."
Offensive line struggles have Colts searching for answers
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Colts right tackle Jack
Mewhort stood up in the
locker room Monday and
got right to the point.
His mistakes led to the
offensive line's dismal performance Saturday night.
After allowing Andrew
Luck to be pressured on
the first two pass plays of
the game and then reliving
that experience all over
again in the film room, Mewhort uttered the words
everyone outside the team
facility wanted to hear.
"I need to be better in
everything," he said. "We
wanted to start fast and
we couldn't do that, primarily because we couldn't
hold up in pass protection
and that's on me."
Mewhort wasn't alone,
though.
Indy's new right side -Mewhort and right guard
Todd Herremans -- didn't
always appear to be working together during the 2311 loss. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo, Indy's best
lineman, blew an early assignment that forced Luck
to throw the ball away on
another third down. And
with Khaled Holmes and
Jonotthan Harrison still
battling for the starting
center job, coach Chuck
Pagano opted to use both
with the starters.
The result: Luck and
Matt Hasselbeck were a
combined 11 of 18 for 130
yards with no touchdowns,
one
interception
and
two sacks and the Colts
couldn't move the ball until the second quarter.
That has raised concerns inside and outside
the team facility as the
Sept. 13 opener with Buffalo nears.
"The clock is ticking.
You're running out of time
so to speak," Pagano said
Sunday. "Are we where we
want to be? No, but we're
always working."
There were also some
factors working against
the Colts on Saturday.
Indy stayed primarily
with a vanilla offense and
was facing an opponent
it had already seen twice
last week in joint practices.
But ragged play in August has become the norm
in Indy. The Colts' have
lost seven straight preseason games and are 1137 since posting their last
winning exhibition season
in 2003 (3-1).
Still, fans who have become accustomed to waiting four weeks to find out
what the real Colts look
like are clamoring for
changes. Monday's talk
radio were filled with
chatter about bringing in
new faces who could help
reinforce the interior line.
Some of the names being
bandied about included
Evan Mathis, Jake Long
and Andy Levitre.
The Colts continue to
insist, though, that they
don't need outside help.
"It's confidence in there
and you have to do it without thinking about something else. You have to go
out there and do it," Castonzo said. "Look, I don't
think I've had a good preseason since been here."
This time, though, the
offensive line is under
much greater scrutiny.
Last season's AFC runner-ups revamped the line
by bringing in the 32-yearold Herremans as a free
agent, moving Mewhort
from left guard to right
tackle and cutting former
starting right tackle Gosder Cherilus a week before training camp began.
Hugh Thornton, last year's
starter at right guard, also
is out indefinitely with an
undisclosed knee injury.
All of the changes have
force the Colts to learn on
the fly.
"We've got to continue
to build that continuity,"
backup lineman Joe Reitz said. "Our job as a line
is to give them (running
backs) that crease."
And, of course, to protect Luck.
They didn't succeed at
either Saturday and will
spend this week searching
for answers before heading to St. Louis this weekend for what is expected
to be a dress rehearsal for
the regular season.
"It's a credit to those
pass rushers, they had me
in a little bit of a tailspin
early," Mewhort said. "I've
just got to go out there
and perfect my craft every
day."
Notes:
First-round
draft pick Phillip Dorsett
(bruised right knee) is expected to return to practice Tuesday. He did some
individual work Monday.
... Pagano said the Colts
were happy to see receiver
Reggie Wayne find a job for
this season. Wayne agreed
to a one-year deal with Indy's bitter rival, New England, on Monday. "I'm sure
everybody in this building,
all his teammates, all the
coaches are excited for
him," Pagano said.

struck out 18 and won his 11th
straight decision as he pitched a 3-0
three-hit victory over the Kansas City
Royals.
2004 — Jeff DaVanon became the
first Angels player in 13 years to hit
for the cycle in Anaheim's 21-6 rout
of Kansas City. He drove in four runs
and Garret Anderson homered and
had five RBIs. It was also the first
time Anaheim swept an AL opponent
in a season series during their 44year history.
2006 — Alfonso Soriano became the
40th player in major league history —
and the fastest ever — to reach 200
homers and 200 steals for his career.
Soriano walked in the third inning of
Washington's 7-6 win over Atlanta
and stole second to reach 200 in that
category. He already had 203 career
homers.
2008 — Grady Sizemore hit his
30th home run, becoming the 14th
American League player to have at
least 30 homers and 30 stolen bases
in a season. Sizemore is the first
American League player to join the
30-30 club since Alfonso Soriano did
it for Texas in 2005.
2010 — The Colorado Rockies overcame a nine-run deficit, matching
the biggest rally in team history and
stunning the Atlanta Braves 12-10
on Troy Tulowitzki's go-ahead single
in the eighth inning. Down 10-1 in
the third inning, the Rockies chipped
away against the NL East leader
before taking the lead with four runs
in the eighth.
2010 — The Reds blew a nine-run
lead, then regrouped and rallied past
the Giants, 12-11, on Joey Votto's
tiebreaking single in the 12th inning.
The NL Central-leading Reds took a
10-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth
before San Francisco came back
with a six-run burst in the eighth to
take an 11-10 lead.
2011 — The New York Yankees became the first team in major league
history to hit three grand slams in
a game, with Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson
connecting in a 22-9 romp over the
Oakland Athletics. The Yankees
trailed 7-1 after three innings with
rain still falling in a game that began
after an 89-minute delay. Cano began the barrage with his slam in the
fifth off starter Rich Harden, making
it 7-6. Martin connected in the sixth
off Fautino De Los Santos for a 10-7
lead. Granderson took his turn in
eighth, launching a two-out drive off
Bruce Billings.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: My heart is
breaking for my sister. She has
been married to the same man for
more than 30 years and he has
never been kind or respectful toward her. They have two married
sons and a grandchild with health
problems. My sister loves that
grandchild more than life itself, but
she rarely gets to see him. Worse,
her sons treat her terribly and I
have no idea why. The younger son
takes advantage of her, and the oldest acts as though his parents are
beneath him.
I have several siblings and
although none of us is perfect, we
have all tried our best to be good
parents. My sister has recently
developed medical problems, but
she is so depressed about her life
that she doesn’t care about her own
health.
I am worried about her. She
deserves love and respect and has
sacrificed herself for the men in her
life. Should I write a letter to my
nephews and open their eyes? -- Big
Sister
Dear Sister: If your brother-inlaw has treated his wife disrespectfully their entire married life and
she has tolerated it, then her sons
will treat her similarly. That is the
pattern they grew up with and they
see nothing wrong with it. Your
sister needs to assert herself and
demand more acceptable behavior,
but we suspect she doesn’t know
how.
If you want to write letters
to your nephews, by all means do
so, but be aware that it might not
help and could estrange them from
you. Can you enlist the help of your
nephew’s wives? Men who treat
their mothers disrespectfully often
repeat the pattern with their wives.
We also hope you will offer to go
with your sister for counseling, not
only so she can learn to stop putting
up with such disrespect, but to help
her move forward and take control
of her life and her health.
Dear Annie: Eleven years
ago, when my father passed away,
the funeral home gave my mother
an American flag, since Dad was a
veteran of WWII. As per his wishes,
there was no funeral and my father
was cremated. This flag was never
used and my mother put it away
in a closet. Now my mother is in a
nursing facility and I have the flag.
Annie, we already have a
smaller flag that hangs by our
front door. Dad’s flag has no senti-
mental value for me, but I have no
idea who I can pass it on to or what
else can be done with it. I can’t just
throw it away. Do you have any
suggestions? -- Daughter of a Vet in
Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Dear Daughter: Are there
nieces, nephews or grandchildren
who might like to have this flag?
Please ask around. Here are some
other ideas: Contact your local historical society to see whether they
will accept this item, perhaps along
with your father’s other war memorabilia if there is any. Also offer it
to nearby schools, the Boy Scouts or
Girl Scouts, your local fire department and the VFW to see whether
they are interested. Finally, please
contact the U.S. Dept. of Veterans
Affairs (cem.va.gov) to donate the
flag for use in the National Cemetery.

This is a great day for business
and commerce. Look for ways to boost
your income or get a better job. Trust
your moneymaking ideas.

your sign, which means you have good
fortune. Go after what you want, because you might get it.

This is a great day to enjoy the
company of others. However, you will
get serious work done as well, because
your approach to everything is balanced.
YOU BORN TODAY You know
how to get things done, but you often
work on the sidelines, in cooperation
with others. You understand organization structure and are an excellent
parent. Settle your debts this year to
prepare for financial accumulation in the
next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

Wed. Aug. 26
ST. MARYS – The Education Consortium of the
Upper Allegheny held its
annual Graduation Celebration for students who
earned their Associate degrees through the Gannon
University program during the 2014-15 academic
year at the Red Fern Conference Center on Aug. 18.
Faith Carlson, Erin Nelson, and Michaela Rupprecht were each honored
for earning their Associate
of Science in Business Administration.
Members of the ECUA
Board and staff, Gannon
University faculty, Potter
and Elk/Cameron Community Education Council
staff, members of the State
Legislature, and the graduates’ families joined them
for dinner, presentations,
and awards commemorating their accomplishment.
ECUA President Duane
Vicini served as Master
of Ceremonies for the celebration, and in addition
to recognizing and welcoming the graduates, spoke
regarding the progression
toward the formation of a
Regional Rural College,
where ECUA serves as
the Project Executive. The
Honorable Kathy Rapp,
State
Representative,
congratulated the graduates and spoke about the
importance of educational
options in rural Pennsylvania.

From left to right, Faith Carlson, Michaela Rupprecht and Erin Nelson.
Michaela
Rupprecht
spoke on behalf of the
graduates, focusing on
the affordable cost, and
flexibility of the program.
The guests were also able
to celebrate the career advancement opportunities
reported by the graduates
due to their new degrees.
Beautiful plaques were
gifted by the ECUA, and
the students were welcomed to walk in the traditional Gannon University
commencement ceremony.
Dr.
Linda
Fleming,
Dean of the College of Humanities, Education, and
Social Sciences, Gannon
University, offered her
congratulations to the students and their families for
the partnership involved
in the students’ success.
Mr. Robert Esch, ECUA
Chairman of the Board,
added his congratulations
to the three women, and
thanked the partnership of
the Community Education
Councils, School Districts,
libraries, Gannon University and the ECUA that
make education options in
this area possible.
Faith Carlson participated in classes at Kane
Area School District, and
completed her course of
study in December 2014.
Erin Nelson was enrolled
in classes offered at the
Potter County Education
Council, and completed
in August 2015. Michaela
Rupprecht also completed in August 2015 at the
Community
Education
Center for Elk and Cameron Counties.
That, apparently, was
something the gunman
identified as 26-year-old
Moroccan Ayoub El-Khazzani was unable to do, according to Spencer Stone,
the U.S. airman who subdued the attacker on a
train from Amsterdam to
Paris. Stone said he saw
the man holding an assault
rifle that "looked like it
was jammed and it wasn't
working."
The Islamic State group
has issued no comment
on the failed attack. But
on Sunday, a pro-Islamic
State media group released a nine-minute video
again calling on "Lone Lions" to kill Americans and
Europeans.
"If it's a foiled attack,
the most obvious reaction
would be to deny," said
Jean-Charles Brisard, a
French security consultant
and terrorism expert.
Another would-be attacker was arrested in
April after he shot himself in the foot and called
for medical help, drawing police attention to the
blood trail leading to his
arms-filled car and plans
to gun down a church. He
denied any terrorism links,
despite what security officials described as extremist material found among
his belongings.
In the Alpine region of
Isere in June, an attacker
accused of beheading his
boss and trying to blow up
a chemical warehouse has
blamed domestic and work
problems, despite having
sent a photo of himself and
the decapitated remains to
an Islamic State contact in
Syria.
Extremist groups have
claimed responsibility for
only 65 percent of attacks
that can be attributed to
them, according to data
dating to 1998 from the
National Consortium for
the Study of Terrorism
and Responses to Terrorism. Islamic State's rate of
responsibility claims is in
line with that figure.
The train gunman was
known
to
intelligence
agents in at least three
countries, but according to
his lawyer had been traveling internationally by rail
for the past six months.
Germany Interior Ministry spokesman Johannes
Dimroth told the AP that
if the suspect is who he
has said he is, Germany
tracked him in May flying
from Berlin to Istanbul —
a popular gateway to Syria
for militants.
Rolf Tophoven, a terrorism expert and director of
the Institute for Crisis Prevention in Essen, Germa-
ny, said the thwarted train
attack illustrates how difficult it is for authorities
to prevent such violence
by solo extremists or small
groups.
"This is a development
coming up more and more
— not a huge terrorist network behind these guys,
it's enough to be inspired
and get a weapon," he
said. "In Europe, you saw
it against Charlie Hebdo,
you saw it in Copenhagen,
in the Jewish museum in
Brussels, and now on the
train."
France was already calling for individuals to redouble their vigilance and
willingness to act. Messages to that effect were
broadcast in French train
stations beginning Monday, similar to the ubiquitous "If you see something,
say something" that appeared around New York
after Sept. 11.
President Francois Hollande said that while two
of the Americans who tackled the gunman were soldiers, "on Friday you were
simply passengers. You behaved as soldiers but also
as responsible men."
The men showed "that
faced with terror, we have
the power to resist. You
also gave a lesson in courage, in will, and thus in
hope," Hollande said.
Sept. 11 — in particular
the actions by the passengers on Flight 93 who tried
to retake the plane from
the hijackers after learning about the World Trade
Center attacks — seared
into the minds of many
Americans the need for
dramatic action in the face
of terrorism, Braniff said.
"It has entered into our
consciousness because of
that flight and the lionization of the people who
brought that plane down.
It is an iconic moment of
resistance," he said.
But Brisard cautioned
that there were limits.
"This is a cultural problem, and I doubt we can
simply rely on heroes to
reduce the threat," he said.
"I'm not sure it would happen the same way on another day."
Richard Barrett, senior
vice president of The Soufan Group and a former
British intelligence official, said governments in
Europe and the U.S. must
balance calls with vigilance
against public paranoia.
"That is what terror is
about. It's not about killing people but about making them afraid that they
might be killed," he said.
European governments
have sometimes come
under criticism for what
some see as a lax attitude
toward people flagged as
radicals — and the latest
suspect was apparently
able to board airplanes and
trains without difficulty,
raising new questions —
but Barrett said the sheer
number of those under suspicion makes it impossible
to track them all.
"The cooperation on this
is all pretty good now. The
trouble is just so many
names," he said. "How do
you sort them all out, the
risks, the threat?"
Pa.'s attorney general is Security worry: How to stop the 'lone wolf' attacks
ordered to stand trial
NORRISTOWN (AP) —
The state's attorney general
on Monday was ordered to
stand trial on charges she
leaked secret grand jury
information to embarrass a
rival prosecutor.
Kathleen Kane, the first
woman and first Democrat
to be elected Pennsylvania
attorney general, didn't
speak as she left a suburban
Philadelphia
courthouse
flanked by bodyguards.
A judge rejected her lawyer's contention she had
another way of humiliating the rival prosecutor:
pornography. Defense lawyer Gerald Shargel raised
Kane's knowledge of explicit
office emails near the end
of Monday's evidence hearing, saying exposing former
prosecutor Frank Fina's
"disgraceful conduct" would
have been an easier way to
retaliate against him.
Judge Cathleen Kelly Rebar warned Shargel he was
"far afield" in invoking pornography, a central theme
of Kane's public defense,
because prosecutors hadn't
delved into motive during
the hearing.
Fina, reached by phone,
declined to comment on
Shargel's argument.
Kane, 49, also is charged
with lying under oath about
the leak, ordering aides to
illegally snoop through computer files to keep tabs on
the investigation into it and
harming the reputation of
a former civil rights leader
named in the leaked documents. She could face up to
seven years in prison if convicted of the most serious
charge, perjury.
She remains free pending an Oct. 14 court appearance. No trial date has been
scheduled.
Inside the courtroom,
Kane sat quietly at the defense table, flipping through
documents
and
jotting
notes, as prosecutors outlined how they believe she
passed a transcript and
memorandum related to a
2009 grand jury investigation to a Philadelphia Daily
News reporter last year.
A top aide to Kane left a
package containing the material between his front and
screen doors, prosecutor
Kevin Steele said. A political consultant who helped
Kane get elected three years
ago picked up the package
and delivered it to a reporter, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors called two
witnesses: a top Kane aide
and the lead investigator in
the case against her.
Special agent David Peifer, in charge of special
investigations for Kane's
office, testified he provided
her with a copy of a transcript cited in the Daily
News article months before
it was published. Peifer also
testified he had a copy of a
memo related to a confidential case emailed to her last
summer. Kane told a grand
jury last November she had
never seen the memo, prosecutors said. Focusing on
the leak, prosecutors contrasted remarks Kane made
about the sanctity of grand
jury proceedings as a county
prosecutor in 1999 with her
testimony to the leak grand
jury last November.
In the earlier testimony,
Kane said she would feign
ignorance to preserve the
confidentiality of grand jury
proceedings. She testified
last November she wasn't
subject to secrecy rules surrounding a 2009 grand jury
investigation because she
was never sworn in to that
grand jury.
Shargel argued the perjury count didn't meet the
legal definition and prosecutors didn't outline other allegations with enough specificity.
Challenging a conspiracy
charge, he said there was
"no suggestion that two people of a like criminal mind
joined forces, joined ranks
and entered into an agreement."
Shargel argued accusations Kane used her position
to smear a former Philadelphia NAACP head's reputation were moot because the
man had already been the
subject of negative newspaper articles.
Detective Paul Bradbury,
who investigated Kane, said
the leak caused the NAACP
official "great personal distress" and forced him to
close his charity when donations dried up after the
newspaper story appeared.
Kane has said releasing
the pornographic emails
exchanged by office employees is crucial to her defense
strategy, but her office said
last week it has concerns
disclosing them could be
perceived as retaliating
against witnesses in the
criminal case against her.
Kane has said the leak
investigation and criminal
charges were a "stealth political weapon" to oust her
from office and a campaign
to discredit her began after
her office found pornographic and explicit video images
and jokes in hundreds of
emails while reviewing a
predecessor's handling of
the child sex abuse case
against former Penn State
assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
PARIS (AP) — The gunman had an arsenal that
he claims to have stumbled
upon in a park near the
train station. Like three
other men accused of drawing up failed plans for attacks in France recently,
the suspect denied any
links to terrorism, telling
his lawyer he was homeless and only wanted to rob
a train "to eat."
Instead, the assault
rifle jammed, and he was
tackled and bound with
a necktie by three Americans and a Briton who
were celebrated Monday
with France's highest honor. Now, with many lives
potentially saved on the
high-speed train by quickthinking and courageous
passengers, the limits of a
continent's worth of security were thrown into relief
by a lone attacker during
a less-sophisticated act of
violence.
"I don't think we can rely
entirely on the police, the
law enforcement services.
They will do their best. We
can put in place the best
intelligence networks, but
somebody is probably going to get through at some
stage. And my vision of
this is that as citizens,
we need to be prepared to
think about how to act,"
Chris Norman, the British
businessman who helped
bind the suspect, told The
Associated Press.
"We need to have it in
our minds, because if I had
never thought it before,
then I probably would've
just been sitting in a corner
cowering," Norman said.
With thousands of Europeans believed to be
radicalized by propaganda
from the Islamic State
group, and legions of security forces guarding the
most visible targets, governments are increasingly
worried about the possibility of carnage by individuals, with little planning,
in a setting where there is
minimal or no security.
If the attack fails, terrorist groups simply ignore it.
If it succeeds, they claim
responsibility for the work
done by their "brother."
"This creates a really
interesting dilemma for
law enforcement. You don't
have to be a mastermind
or a sophisticated individual to kill a lot of people
if you have weapons and
they do not," said William
Braniff, director of the National Consortium for the
Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. "You
don't have to be all that
well-trained. There's one
threshold: You have to be
able to load the weapon."
