Residents of manufacturedhome parks may have conflictscommon to any neighborhood.But on one subject they agree:Rent increases are getting to thepoint of frightening them away,if they could leave.

“We try to negotiate to keepthe rent down or get a five-year

deal or something,” said DonWestlund, president of the For-est View Estates HomeownersAssociation.

Westlund heads a committeethat meets with a regional man-ager from the company thatowns Forest View Estates.

Electric vehicles: Inverness ready to charge NANCY KENNEDY

Staff Writer

INVERNESS — The city of In-verness continues its goal of goinggreen.

On Wednesday, Wayne Green-hill, commercial energy adviserfor Duke Energy, and Scott Mc-Culloch, project manager for thecity of Inverness, tested out thetwo new electric vehicle service(EVS) stations installed in the Inverness Government Centerparking lot.

Addressing the city councilback in July, City Manager FrankDiGiovanni said, “We all knowthis is an area that doesn’t have alot of electric vehicles, but wealso know that tourism is impor-tant to the city of Inverness.”

HOW TO CHARGE AN EV� A Level 2 charging station can charge

a plug-in electric vehicle three to fivetimes faster than a Level 1, standard120-volt outlet.

� Once parked in the space for the EVSstation, remove the power connectorfrom the charging dock and plug itinto the vehicle’s charging inlet.

� Push the plug until it clicks.� When locked in, the EVS dock’s

charging icon will begin to blink, thenwill hold steady to indicate charginghas begun.

� Charging is typically completed infour to six hours. A “finished” iconwill light up when charging hasstopped.

� Unplug the connector and return it tothe dock. Push the plug until it clicks.

Clearing lot raises rentManufactured

homes hide some expensesCHRIS VAN ORMER

Staff Writer

Golfers practice theirputts on the piece of landbehind Joeann Gidlow’s at-tractive home.

Tucked in back of the neatline of manufactured resi-dences, with their sparklingexteriors and trimmedlawns and shrubbery, is abucolic view of old Florida,land dotted with many ma-ture trees and a naturalpond.

“Several people comeover and actually fish, pullfish out and throw themback in,” said Joeann Gid-low, whose backyard is sep-arated by a short fence fromher neighbor’s property, pri-vate land next to ForestView Estates, a manufac-tured home community offU.S. 19 and Ozello Trail.

During the 10 years Gid-low has lived in Forest View,she’s developed a good rela-tionship with the neighborwho owns the land andpond. Gidlow and threeother Forest View residentswhose homes back onto theprivate land reached anagreement with the neigh-bor to use his land if theycleared it of brush, whichthey did. Once cleared, theland offered a view to theneighbor’s private pond.

“He doesn’t have any ob-jections; it’s a good-neighbor policy,” Gidlow said.

Now, Gidlow said, theowner of Forest View hasdecided her lot is no longer“standard” but “premium”because of the back-porchview improvement she cre-ated herself. Therefore, thelot rent will increase whensomeone new moves intothe home she hopes to sell.

Forest View Estates resident Joeann Gidlow explains how the rent for her home and those of her immediate neigh-bors is rising because of the clearing of land behind her manufactured home in Crystal River. The improved viewconstitutes a premium lot by those who own the community, she said, and now anyone who buys her home mustpay more each month than she does for rent.

The enhanced view from Gidlow’s manu-factured home offers a glimpse of thissmall freshwater pond on private propertythat belongs to her neighbor.

The corporation that ownsForest View Estates must makedecisions while consideringhow those choices impact itscustomers, the park residents.

He said offering thisservice will increase thecity’s attractiveness to“green-minded” tourists.

The charging stationsare courtesy of Duke En-ergy and a federal stimulusgrant from the Departmentof Energy. The grant cov-ered the cost and installa-tion of the EVS units.

Duke Energy will moni-tor their activity throughApril 27, 2013. Eventually,ownership of the EVS unitswill transfer to the city.

McCulloch said Thurs-day the EVS stationsshould be online andready for use within a fewdays.

“Any hybrid or electricvehicle can use them,” hesaid. “They’ve all got thesame unique plug, so itdoesn’t matter what (makeand model) it is.”

DiGiovanni addedthey’re planning on iden-tifying the parking spotswith a green-paintedmarking on the pavement.

Also, there are iPhoneand smartphone apps youcan download that willgive directions to placeswith charging stations.There’s also a websitewith EVS locations atwww.afdc.energy.gov.

province, said ShahidullahShahid, a provincial govern-ment spokesman.

The toll has climbedsteadily in recent monthswith a spate of attacks byAfghan army and policeagainst American and NATOtroops, and questions aboutwhether allied countrieswill achieve their aim ofhelping the Afghan govern-ment and its forces stand ontheir own after most foreigntroops depart in little morethan two years.

A U.S. official confirmedthe latest death Sunday, say-ing an international servicemember killed in an appar-ent insider attack by Afghanforces in the east of thecountry late Saturday wasAmerican. The officialspoke on condition ofanonymity because the na-tionality of those killed hadnot been formally released.

A civilian contractor withNATO and at least twoAfghan soldiers also died inthe attack, according to acoalition statement andAfghan provincial officials.The nationality of the civil-ian was not disclosed.

At least 1,190 more coali-tion troops have also died inthe Afghanistan war, accord-ing to iCasualties.org, an in-dependent organization.

According to theAfghanistan index kept bythe Brookings Institution,40.2 percent of the deaths

were caused by improvisedexplosive devices, with themajority of those after 2009when President BarackObama ordered a surge of33,000 troops to combatheightened Taliban activity.According to the Washing-ton-based research center,the second highest cause,30.6 percent, was hostile fire.

Tracking civilian deaths ismuch more difficult. Ac-cording to the U.N., 13,431civilians were killed in theAfghan conflict between2007, when the U.N. begankeeping statistics, and theend of August. Going back tothe U.S.-led invasion in 2001,most estimates put the num-ber of Afghan deaths in thewar at more than 20,000.

The number of Americandead reflects an AssociatedPress count of those mem-bers of the armed serviceskilled inside Afghanistansince the U.S.-led invasionon Oct. 7, 2001. Some othernews organizations use acount that includes thosekilled outside Afghanistanas part of Operation Endur-ing Freedom, the global anti-terror campaign led bythen-President George W.Bush.

The 2001 invasion tar-geted al-Qaida and its Tal-iban allies after the Sept. 11attacks, which claimednearly 3,000 lives in theUnited States.

Victory in Afghanistanseemed to come quickly.Kabul fell within weeks, andthe hardline Taliban regimewas toppled with few U.S.casualties.

But the Bush administra-tion’s shift toward war withIraq left the Western powerswithout enough resourceson the ground, so by 2006 theTaliban had regrouped intoa serious military threat.

Obama deployed moretroops to Afghanistan,where casualties increasedsharply in the last severalyears. But the Americanpublic grew weary of havingits military in a perpetualstate of conflict, especiallyafter the withdrawal ofAmerican troops from Iraqat the end of last year. Thatwar, which began with aU.S.-led invasion in 2003 tooust Saddam Hussein, cost

the lives of nearly 4,500 U.S.troops, more than twice asmany as have died inAfghanistan so far.

“The tally is modest bythe standards of war histor-ically, but every fatality is atragedy and 11 years is toolong,” said Michael O’Han-lon, a fellow at the Brook-ings. “All that isinternalized, however, in anAmerican public that hasbeen watching this cam-paign for a long time. Morenewsworthy right now arethe insider attacks and thesense of hopelessness theyconvey to many. “

Attacks by Afghan soldiersor police — or insurgents

disguised in their uniforms— have killed 52 Americanand other NATO troops sofar this year.

The so-called insider at-tacks are considered one ofthe most serious threats tothe U.S. exit strategy fromthe country. In its latest in-carnation, that strategy hasfocused on training Afghanforces to take over securitynationwide — allowing mostforeign troops to go home bythe end of 2014.

Although Obama haspledged most U.S. combattroops will leave by the endof 2014, American, NATOand allied troops are stilldying in Afghanistan at arate of one a day.

Even with 33,000 Ameri-can troops back home, theU.S.-led coalition will stillhave 108,000 troops — in-cluding 68,000 from the U.S.— fighting in Afghanistan atthe end of this year.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE


For another year, county em-ployees will receive a floating hol-iday, but not a pay raise.

As county commissioners lastweek discussed and approved thefinal budget for the 2012-13 fiscalyear, County Commissioner John“JJ” Kenney pointed out onceagain county employees would notreceive a pay raise written intothe budget.

“It’s been another year whereour county employees will not get

a pay raise,” Kenney said. “Lastyear, we gave them a floating holi-day. It is my understanding thatwhen the current budget expireson Sept. 30, so does the floatingholiday. Realizing we can’t givethem a raise, I bring forth that wecontinue the floating holidaythrough the next budget cycle.We’ve got to say thank you some-how and it’s only a day.”

County Administrator BradThorpe said county governmentemploys more than 500 people.

“It’s been four years since theemployees have had an increase

in their compensation,” Thorpesaid. “I know times have beentough, but they have been toughfor employees too that have hadtheir cost of living go up in thosefour years.”

Surrounding counties, Thorpesaid, have been giving pay raisesto county staff.

“Marion County just voted theother night for a 2 percent raisefor employees,” Thorpe said.“Pinellas County voted for a $1,200one-time bonus for their employ-ees. Manatee County voted lastweek for a 2 percent raise. I sawthat the (Citrus Memorial) hospi-tal budget includes a 2 percentraise for their employees.”

Thorpe said he did not suggestthe board try giving raises to county

staff in the budget before them.“I’m telling you somewhere

along the line this board is goingto have to tackle the compensationissue,” Thorpe said. “Two of ourlower pay grades next year afterJanuary will be below minimumwage. We will have to do some-thing to adjust those pay ranges.”

Thorpe said a 2 percent increasefor county employees wouldroughly be $349,000. Sixty percentof that would be from taxes, withthe rest from enterprise funds rev-enue. Therefore, a raise would costtaxpayers about $200,000.

“We just paid the hospital billsfor a single shooting victim thatexceeded the total amount thatthe employees would get for a sin-gle year,” Thorpe said. “So you can

understand the frustration thatI’ve had as the county administra-tor to give an across-the-board payincrease.”

Thorpe told the board he wouldmake a pledge, with its help, to in-clude a compensation adjustmentfor employees, including those ofthe constitutional officers, in thenext budget.

Commissioner Dennis Damatomade a motion to give county em-ployees an additional paid holi-day, tied to acceptance of thebudget. It was seconded by Com-missioner Rebecca Bays and car-ried unanimously.

operations and constructionat American Land Leaseheadquarters in Clearwater.

Schreiber, however, wasfamiliar with the quandaryof Forest View residentJoeann Gidlow.

“We care about her andher situation and we’regoing to try to get it re-solved,” Schreiber said.

Schreiber said AmericanLand Lease (ALL) reclassi-fied Gidlow’s lot from astandard lot to a waterfrontlot, but would not increaseher rent from the standardlot rate. The annual rate in-crease would apply, but itwould not reflect the up-grade to her lot designation.

Schreiber explained rentrates are determined inmanufactured home parksunder the regulations ofFlorida Statute 723.

“These are land-leasecommunities, so you arebuying your home and you

are renting the land,”Schreiber said. “We have alot designation. It can bestandard or corner or waterand whatnot for each lot.There are times when wehave taken a look at differ-ent lots and reclassifiedthem, because her particu-lar lot is truly on water.”

As for Gidlow making herlot a waterfront lot by clear-ing the view to a privatelyowned pond herself, thusraising the designation andthe potential rent on her lot,Schreiber said Gidlow hasenjoyed a water-view lot ata standard lot rate for the 10years she’s been there.

“We’ve come to the real-ization that that lot shouldbe a water lot,” Schreibersaid. “If she never movesout, it never changes. If shemoves out, it will go to awater lot.”

Schreiber said he wasaware of Gidlow’s concernthe rent increase for a buyerof her home was affectingher ability to sell it. How-ever, purchasers would ex-pect to pay more for a

water-view lot than a stan-dard lot.

“If she’s trying to sell herhome, is it better to sell ahome that backs up to wateror is it better to sell one thatbacks up to another manu-factured home?” Schreiberasked. “The fact that thatparticular lot abuts up to aneighboring water feature, apond, makes it very tranquiland a great place to live.That lot is a premium lot.People would pay more forthat lot than they would payfor a lot that backs intosomebody’s home.”

The fact that ALL doesnot own the pond in ques-tion or maintain it had nobearing on elevating thelot’s designation from stan-dard to waterfront.

“If you buy real estatenext to a great piece of realestate it may not be yours,but that real estate is whyyou bought your real es-tate,” Schreiber said. “If I’min the mountains of NorthCarolina and I buy real es-tate looking over a view, Idon’t own those mountain

ranges, but that view is whyI bought that real estate inthe first place.”

Schreiber said ALL staffwork with each park’s rentcommittee as part of deter-mining the market rate foreach lot in the communitiesand town hall meetings giveresidents an opportunity totalk to staff.

“In Forest View especially,we’ve made a lot of improve-ments to the community andwe take pride in these com-munities and the peoplethere,” Schreiber said.

Gidlow’s rent would notincrease for her based onher lot reclassification.

“That will not happen toher as long as she lives there,”Schreiber assured. “The keyfor her is not whether herrent’s going up, but whetherher home sells. She needs toget that home sold. I’ve toldeverybody: Let’s get the issueoff the table. Let’s get herhome sold.”

the manufactured home community.

“When we moved here,we weren’t concerned withthe back. We liked thehouse,” Gidlow said. “Wesaid this would be very nicefor us. My husband had thebeginning of a degeneratingmuscle disease. He wantedto find something that hewouldn’t have to take careof. He was looking for some-thing for me for the future.He passed away two yearsago and thought this wouldbe economical for us. Butit’s just gone crazy with theincreases.”

When Gidlow’s husbanddied, she put her house onthe market because shewanted a smaller, more eco-nomical place just for her-self. She has her eye on anapartment near the thriftstore where she volunteers.But she said her rent scaresbuyers away.

“In two years, I’ve had twopeople look at my house.They say the rent’s too highand the price is too high,”Gidlow said.

Financially, Gidlow hasbeen hit with a doublewhammy: both sale priceand rent.

Gidlow’s house is mort-gaged and she is in a marketwith houses for sale in herpark that are owned out-right. Some of the homesare in estates, where theheirs will accept the bestoffer they can get.

“The mother or father orwhoever is living there diesand the kids want to get ridof it,” she explained.“They’ll take what they canget and get out. That’s whatI’m competing against.”

About the same time Gid-low put her house up forsale, the owners of her parkbegan a process she saidthey called reclassification.Residents’ lots for whichthey pay monthly rent werein some cases upgradedfrom standard to premiumbecause of formerly dis-

missed attributes, such asbeing on a corner or backingonto a nature preserve or, inGidlow’s case, having an en-hanced view, even thoughshe enhanced it herself.

“They are looking forwhatever angle they canfind to increase the rents,”Gidlow said.

Lots surrounding thepark’s two artificial pondspresumably are consideredpremium. However, thepark owners also own theartificial ponds and main-tain them with water treat-ment and circulation. Notonly do the park owners notown the pond within Gid-low’s vista, it is a naturalpond that is not maintainedthe same way, and certainlynot an expense to ForestView Estates, Gidlowpointed out.

When tree limbs on theprivate property poke intoher yard, Gidlow foots thebill.

“One week ago, I just paid$300 to have limbs cut downon his property becausethey were growing over myhouse,” Gidlow said. “Onlyone time has this park cutlimbs down for me. Everyother year, we have spent$200 and $300 a year keep-ing those trees trimmed.That’s another expense.”

Forest View Estates is anice park that lives up to itsmarketing description ofbeing “framed by lush forests,spring-driven rivers and tree-lined paths.” Its amenities in-clude “a lakeside clubhousefeaturing two heated swim-ming pools, spas, billiards,catch-and-release lakes and atennis court.” Gidlow saidrent included garbagepickup, street lights and roadmaintenance.

Abiding by park rulesseems like constant codeenforcement.

“We are responsible formaking sure the houses arewashed and clean at alltimes,” Gidlow said. “If theyget dusty or dirty, we’re no-tified. If we let the grassovergrow, we’re notified.We’re picked on.”

Gidlow’s rent was lessthan $200 when she and her

now-late husband movedinto the park 10 years ago.At that time, the park was anaffordable alternative tobuying a then-expensivesite-built house.

“The rent will jump up to$410 in January,” she said,even though her fixed in-come has not doubled in 10years.

In addition, Gidlow pays amortgage of less than $500.On top of that, she has ex-penses of house insurance,flood insurance, annual mo-bile home registration andwhat she called an annualpass-through tax — amount-ing to her share of the park’sad valorem taxes — of about$106.

Considering the expenseof monthly bills for power,water, telephone, cable andlawn mowing, the costs arenot for people of limitedmeans.

“Altogether, I estimate I’mpaying $1,178 a month tostay here,” Gidlow said.“Some people in here areprobably getting only $800 amonth on Social Security orless.”

Gidlow’s rent is increasedon a formula of the Con-sumer Price Index plus 1percent, something she andher husband were offeredand accepted when theymoved in. But if she were tosell her house, the new res-ident would not get the ben-efit of CPI+1. It would go tomarket rate, a sum that Gid-low said would be $91 amonth higher than her cur-rent rent.

Gidlow said she looksback with regret.

“Had we known, we neverwould have done this,” shesaid. “We walked in hereblind. We couldn’t afford tobuy a house at that time be-cause of the house prices.This we could handle andwe thought it looked nice, itwas new, we’d do it.”

If she had the choiceagain, would she move to amanufactured home now?

“Absolutely not.” Chronicle reporter Chris

Van Ormer can be reachedat [email protected] or 352-564-2916.

stop raising rent,” Westlundsaid. “His exact words:‘We’ll always raise therent.’”

Florida Statute 723 offerssome protections to resi-dents of the state’s manymanufactured and mobilehomes. According to 2000U.S. Census data, 849,304Floridians — 11.6 percent— lived in manufactured ormobile homes, with thestate ranking No. 1 for thenumber of such residents.

Citrus County has about20 parks with close to 4,000residents, according to datafrom the Citrus County Cit-izens’ Coalition (CCCC), agroup for park residents.

“The two most basicthings we need protectionfrom are rent increases andtaxes,” Westlund said.“They have nothing in 723about controlling rent. Andwe pay taxes on this landalthough we don’t own it.”

Discontent is gaininghold throughout the county.

“We’re thinking of picket-ing again,” Westlund said.

Two and a half years ago,residents of Crystal River

Village waved signs alongU.S. 19 in protest against a$25-a-month rent increase.But rents still climb, ac-cording to Ed Green, CCCCorganizer, speaking at itsquarterly meeting earlierthis month.

Rent increases are ahuge issue, Green said, andstate legislators should notallow senior citizens to betaken advantage of.

“Big business is alwaysfavored over the homeowners,” Green said. “Notfair, but legal. Seniors arevery knowledgeable andunderstanding of a fair andreasonable return in in-vestment for the busi-nesses, but profits or rentincreases of 20 to 30 per-cent is not fair or reason-able, it’s greed.”

A better business model,Green said, would be moregradual increases: “It’s bet-ter to build profits insmaller amounts over alonger period of time, in-stead of trying to kill thecow and wonder why thereis no milk!”

Investor advice from anexpert on the subject, DaveReynolds, concurs thatpark owners can aggres-sively raise rents.

According to Reynolds,

who has written severalbooks about investing inand operating mobilehomes and mobile homeparks, on his website www.mobilehomeparkstore.com:“In a mobile home park, thetenant has a barrier to leav-ing of about $3,000 — thecost of taking down, movingand re-installing the home.As a result, the tenant oftenhas no negotiating roomand must put up with rentincreases when they occur.No other business has theblatant restraint of tradethat the park businessdoes.”

But what looks like secu-rity to the investor — theability to keep raising rent— is horrifying to the cus-tomer, the retirees living inmanufactured home parks.Residents would like towork with the corporationsthat own the parks, but areno longer finding a mutualbenefit.

“They want us to telleverybody what a wonder-ful community this is and ifwe sell a house we get abonus for that,” Westlundsaid. “But in good con-science, I can’t do that.”

Differing viewsThis is in rebuttal to the

Leonard Pitts article “Weare better than that” pub-lished Sept. 10 in the CitrusCounty Chronicle.

Mr. Pitts’ criticism of theGOP slogan “I built this”needs to be examined.Maybe he doesn’t knowmany major corporationsthat now employ thousandsof people in living-wagejobs started in the entre-preneur’s garage. HewlettPackard is an excellent ex-ample of this and there aremany others. It is hard toimagine what role the fed-eral government social wel-fare programs played insuch efforts.

Mr. Pitts got part of itright. But what he forgot tomention is the major differ-ence between the liberaland conservative view.

Liberals believe the fed-eral government shouldtake care of everybody.

Conservatives believe itis our individual God-givenresponsibility to take careof the needy. We have im-plemented this through ourchurches and other reli-gious institutions withoutthe overhead (cost) and pa-perwork (more cost) thatfederal programs require.

In Mark, Chapter 25, wewere given the individualresponsibility to take careof those in need. I can findnothing in the Bible thattells us to abdicate our per-sonal God-given responsi-bility to the federalgovernment.

Perhaps Mr. Pitts has adifferent version of theBible than I do.

It is no wonder Sister Si-mone Campbell is at oddswith the Vatican. She musthave read a liberal inter-pretation of the Bible, also.

Nation’s directionThere is a road sign as

you enter Inverness thatdeclares you are entering a“Veteran Friendly Commu-nity.” The Chronicle pub-lished a fantastic scheduleof Veterans Day activitiesto take place.

I was honored and proudto have marched with theHonor Guard from the In-verness Veterans of For-eign Wars Post 4337 leadinglast year’s Veterans Day Pa-

rade in Inverness.This year, I will miss the

parade in my new home-town. I will be in Washing-ton, D.C., at the 30thanniversary of the VietnamWar Memorial. For the menand women who served inthe Armed Forces duringthe Vietnam era, this is anemotional day of reflectionon our history. It is a historyshrouded in the fog ofshameful treatment of anentire generation of uni-formed service personnelby a misguided nation. Toall my Vietnam brothers andsisters, “Welcome Home.”

Today I fear for my coun-try and its future; the his-tory continues to bewritten. I fear we havebeen misguided again. Howis it a nation’s traditionsare swept away by an ob-jecting few? Some folks got“offended” by a stadiumfull of family members re-flecting on the Grace of theAlmighty. We, the people,can no longer pray togetherat a high school footballgame. The rights of a fewoverrule the rights of themajority under the sameconstitutional amendment.

A grandmother writes inthe Chronicle her career-minded sailor grandson isbeing given a “pink” slip.The current administrationis grappling with painfulnational high unemploy-ment yet turns 100,000trained, volunteer servicepersonnel into unem-ployed. At the same time, itfinds millions of taxpayerdollars to rebuild Islamic

mosques in Egypt.Across the Middle East,

our nation’s embassies areunder threat and attack. Anambassador has been mur-dered, property destroyedand the world’s leadershipis meeting at the U.N. Ourleadership has the time totape television shows andgab with disc jockeys andnighttime entertainmentshow hosts and not be fullyengaged at the U.N.

Where are we — the na-tion — and why in this direction?

Bob BarryInverness

Churches bewareAs election season ap-

proaches, I have heardsome ministers are speak-ing from the pulpit recom-mending specificcandidates. I hear thisevery election time.

This brought to mind aphrase from a song, “Whenwill they ever learn?”

Obviously, some congre-gations need to be re-minded they can supportissues, but not candidates.Supporting a candidate ora political party risks a con-gregation’s federal 501(c)3tax-exempt status. The lossof this status would meanthe church would have topay federal income tax,and it would mean any in-

dividual giving money tothe church would be taxedon that gift.

In order to qualify for afederal tax exemption, anorganization must meetthese requirements:

It must be organized andoperated exclusively for re-ligious, educational, scien-tific or other charitablepurposes.

Net earnings may notinure to the benefit of anyprivate individual or share-holder.

No substantial part of itsactivity may be attemptingto influence legislation.

It may not intervene inpolitical campaigns.

Its purposes and activitiesmay not be illegal or violatefundamental public policy.

In a related matter, if achurch gives money to acandidate or political party,it will have to pay an excisetax amounting to 10 per-cent of the political expen-ditures. In addition, a taxof 2.5 percent of the expen-ditures is imposed againstthe organization managers,who agreed to the expendi-tures knowing they werepolitical expenditures.

I would like to think if aminister or anyone publi-cally speaking for thechurch is recommending aspecific candidate or party,she/he is doing this out ofignorance and will stop

doing it upon learning theconsequences for the or-ganization, the leaders andall the members. However,doing this knowingly, in myopinion, is unethical anduncaring for the membersand the denomination.

If this is taking place inyour congregation or organ-ization, I suggest you speakto the people involved sothat such practices willstop before it is reported tothe IRS, penalties are im-posed, and the church’sreputation is damaged.

The Rev. Mary DeWolfCrystal River

Goofy economicsA recent letter criticized

Republican partisanship inopposing Democratic sena-tors who all supported the“Middle Class Tax Cut Act.”The bill’s real name is“Upper Class Tax HikeAct” because middle-classrates would be unchanged;only the “ultra rich 2 per-cent” would pay more.They already pay the lion’sshare, but that’s notenough; besides, they canafford to pay more. Whatutter arrogance!

The wrong thing to do torevive the economy is totax anybody. PresidentObama said exactly that in2009 and 2010. But now,seeing political advantage,he reversed course.

A policy of taxing, bor-rowing and spending ig-nores history. Theadministrations ofCoolidge, Kennedy andReagan all faced seriousrecessions; they cut mar-ginal rates sharply. Typicalresults were: excellentGDP growth, marked in-crease in employment,more tax revenue, espe-cially from the affluent,and best of all dramatic in-crease in middle-class an-nual income.

Polling shows by a 5:1ratio Americans believemainstream media are bi-ased against the right; per-haps that’s why so manybad ideas remain in circu-lation. The left must knowproposed tax increases willhurt job creation, yet theypersist. They demand “taxcorporations.”

Once and for all, corpo-rations don’t pay taxes;they collect taxes and passthe cost on to consumers. Ifwe want to keep businessesin the U.S. and have lowerconsumer prices, decreasebusiness taxes.

Does “taxing the richsave government $1 tril-lion”? How does lettingpeople keep their ownmoney save money for thegovernment? Is the presi-dent’s proposed 55 percentdeath tax a good and fairway to increase revenueeven though that moneywas taxed already?

Another fairytale has usbelieve increasing foodstamps by 40 percent is goodfor the GDP because eachdollar spent magically gen-erates $1.75 in growth. Bythat logic, if all of us got foodstamps the economy wouldexplode. Oh, and don’t worryabout $240 billion (per) yearin interest on the debt.

To quote Arthur Laffer,adviser to presidents Rea-gan and Clinton, “We’re introuble because of thepresidents’ goofy economicpolicies.”

You read it correctly; hesaid goofy.

OPINIONPage A8 - MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2012

The federal budgetIt’s difficult to understand

the magnitude of the federalbudget because of the size ofthe numbers. We’re talkingabout trillions of dollars, notbillions nor millions. I cameacross a brilliant explanationthat puts the federal budgetinto perspective by using scien-tific notation, used in engineer-ing and science to handle largenumbers.

Taking a “snapshot” of thebudget at a point in time fromthe National Debt Clock: U.S.revenue (receipts from taxes) —$2,170,000,000,000. Federalbudget (federal spending) —$3,820,000,000,000. New debt(spending minus receipts) —$1,650,000,000,000. Nationaldebt (past debt plus new debt)— $14,271,000,000,000*(*nowover $16 trillion and climbing).Recent budget cuts:$38,500,000,000.

Using scientific notation, re-move eight zeroes from thesenumbers. Doing this, you cannow pretend it’s your house-hold budget: Annual family in-come — $21,700. Money thefamily spent — $38,200. Newcredit card debt — $16,500. Out-standing credit card balance —$142,710. Total family budgetcuts: $358.

This family is spending muchmore than their income. Theymust borrow money to pay theirdebt. How long do you thinkthey could survive racking upthat much debt each year be-

fore the credit card companyputs a stop on their account?Plus, their credit rating starts togo down (just as the U.S. creditrating has been reduced). Thebills keep coming, but they can’tpay them. This is when theywill be in bankruptcy. It won’tbe long before they’re living ina tent.

Our government can simplyincrease taxes to make up thedifference. Increasing taxes onthe rich is not nearly enough to

make up for the deficit, so taxesmust be increased across theboard. They can also print moremoney to cover the debt, butdoing this reduces the worth ofthe dollar, thus costing more forgoods and services. They couldtry to reduce spending, buttheir track record is not good.

We’re getting close to theedge of the cliff. This countrycannot survive if we continuedown this path.

Cancer docs greatThank you for your comments

about Michael Smallridge’s dis-approval of the purchase of thenew mammogram equipmentfor Citrus Memorial Health Sys-tem. How many lawyers does ittake to diagnose breast cancer?If the hospital does not havethe new technology, it cannotoffer its early detection benefitto anyone, indigent or insured.No wonder people are defect-ing to Oak Hill Hospital indroves.

I am a seven-year breast can-cer survivor having been suc-cessfully treated at CMHS. Thecancer doctors there are bril-liant and the technicians andother caregivers competent andcaring. They should all haveevery advantage to help themsave lives.

Janet P. WalshHomosassa

This was going tobe a rant. Then Ithought about it,

which was a mistake.As any experiencedranter can tell you,thinking about it hasthe unfortunate ten-dency of turning agood, clean rant into amuddy quagmire offine points, conditionalsentences and digres-sions as delicately bal-anced as a Swisswatch.

You want to flambé the target ofyour ire, but you find yourselfconscience-bound to admit:maybe your target has a point.Such was the case last weekwhen California Gov. JerryBrown signed a law legalizingself-driving cars in the GoldenState.

California joins Nevada in al-lowing Google and other manu-facturers to test “autonomous”cars on its roads. The law in bothstates requires a human driver beonboard to take over in the eventof emergency, but the cars —which use a combination of sen-sors, cameras and artificial intel-ligence to stay between the lines— apparently don’t need the help.

If you are a kid — “kid” hereinbeing defined as anyone under 35years of age who uses the phrase“back in the day” when referringto 1992 — you’re probably won-dering what the fuss is. The no-tion of self-driving cars probablysounds cool to you — or whateverword your generation uses tomean cool. “Jiggy”... “da bomb”...“fo’ shizzle” ... whatever.

If you are a grown-up —

“grown-up” hereinbeing defined as some-one over 35 who hasbegun to look withfaintly homicidal mal-ice at those kids whoinsist upon traipsingacross your lawn —you understand quitewell what the fuss is.Bad enough you nowuse a computer toorder a pizza, and youhave to interface witha machine to buy your

groceries, pay your parking orcommunicate with your own kids.Bad enough you have to pressone for English, then press twofor the service department, thenpress three if you are over 6 feettall, then press four if you are left-handed, then press five and hopon one foot if your favorite coloris red, then listen to 15 minutes ofKenny G before you are allowedto speak with another humanbeing. Now the machines willdrive our cars, too?

When “The Terminator” cameout in 1984, it postulated an apoc-alyptic future wherein machineshad risen against us. Having ar-rived in that future, we now knowbetter. The machines won’t killus. But they are removing us fromthe equation.

Anybody remember a littlething called the human touch?Me neither.

That was going to be the basisof the aforementioned rant. ThenI made the aforementioned mistake.

Its backers say autonomouscars will reduce traffic jams be-cause they will communicatewith one another to use the high-

ways more efficiently. Becausethey will spend less time in grid-lock, they will lessen the emis-sion of harmful pollutants. Andthey will give greater personalmobility to those who, because ofdisability or age, cannot drive.

Perhaps you envision a sce-nario where there is a softwareerror and a car full of nuns plowsinto a busload of orphans while acomputer screen is showing anhourglass icon.

But even if that happened oncea month, it would still fall farshort of the more than 32,000 traf-fic fatalities compiled each yearby texting, intoxicated, radio-changing, sleep-deprived, make-up applying, cellphone-chattering, chin-shaving humanbeings. And it won’t happen oncea month.

Google tells CNN its cars haveracked up 300,000 miles with onlyone accident. And that happenedwith a human driver in control.

This is where my rant wentsouth. How do you rant againstfewer traffic jams, greater mobil-ity, less pollution and moresafety?

Now I’m too depressed to rant,too depressed to do anything ex-cept contemplate my — our —looming obsolescence. Of course,there is one bright spot in all ofthis. They haven’t come up with amachine that can write a whinynewspaper column.

Yet.

PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION

Water policymust changeat state level

Issuing a permit for a well inCrystal River to provide waterfor a bottling plant in Ocalacontinues to stir outrageamong residents who havebeen urged to take water-conserving stepslike flushing toi-lets less, takingshorter showers,using less waterbathing and put-ting in rain bar-rels to cut outdoorwater use.

Residents keepasking, “Whatwere they think-ing?” when theytalk about the SouthwestFlorida Water ManagementDistrict issuing a permit allow-ing two companies to withdrawup to 28 million gallons ofwater a year from a well in theKing’s Bay watershed.

Issuing the permit seems atcross purposes for an agencythat says on its webpage“Florida’s water is a preciouslimited resource that should besaved whenever possible” andhas an entire section promotingconservation, including urgingresidents to take a water con-servation pledge that includesa variety of measures, includinginstalling rain barrels.

Local residents rightly askwhy they should install rainbarrels when the same agencyissues a permit for $50 to allowa corporation to withdrawenough water every year to fill510,000 rain barrels and take itout of county where it will bebottled for sale.

The water management dis-trict responds the Crystal

River permit was issued basedon criteria set by the FloridaLegislature, and the compa-nies involved met these requirements.

So the law needs to bechanged. And itneeds to bechanged now toprevent futureuses like this thatfly in the face ofthe water manage-ment district’smessage on conservation.

Clearly, thewater manage-ment district

needs to allow uses of water topromote the overall economy,but these need to be consistentwith the goal of protecting theenvironment and assuring a fu-ture supply of water.

Unfortunately, environmen-tal protection all too oftentakes a back seat when itcomes to the conflict betweenwater use and water conserva-tion, because state policy en-courages consumption overconservation.

This is something our legis-lators ought to fix. We encour-age state Sen. Charlie Dean, aninfluential legislator who de-scribes himself as an environ-mentalist, to introducelegislation preventing futuredecisions of this kind. We en-courage the winner of the Jim-mie T. Smith-NancyArgenziano race for stateHouse to support such legisla-tion. We also encourage resi-dents to write elected officialsand urge them to introduceand support such legislation.

THE ISSUE:Crystal River bottledwater permit stirs

outrage.

action.

River test plotsI read the article about Swiftmud

(Southwest Florida WaterManagement District) andCitrus Hernando Water-ways Recreation Councilto restore native plants inthe Homosassa River, butI don’t understand theirreasoning of doing testplots in the Homosassa(Springs) Wildlife (State)Park. Isn’t that at the endof the river? Whenever I goto that park and go in thatunderwater observatory,there’s like tons of fish and thefishermen can’t go in that park tofish anyway. So wouldn’t it makesense to do the testing more closerdown there (by) MacRae’s shedand that area where people go andfish or even further down the riverto test it, not right at the wildlifepark where you’re not allowed to goanyway? That just doesn’t makesense to me.

Good letterI read today in this morning’s

and hear about the poverty in thiscountry, children going to bed hun-

How ingood conscience can theSenate and Congress ofthe United States passbills to send billions andbillions of dollars to othercountries when we’re $16trillion in debt, millions ofpeople are homeless, peo-ple are starving, childrenand families are living intheir cars? Think about

that before you send another dollarto any other country. Take care ofthe people that live in this country.

Stop foreign aidPart of the deficit the U.S. is

facing is caused by billions of dol-lars donated to various countriesaround the world, some of whichhate Americans and kill Ameri-cans. I say we stop this foolishdispersal of money and aid to for-eign countries and start helpingour situation in this country. Wecould cut our deficit a lot soonerand be better appreciated by ourown people.

CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER

AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Anyone puzzled by themost recent U.S. economic data has reasonfor feeling so: The numbers sketch a some-times contradictory picture of the economy.

We’ve learned that:Consumers are more confident but aren’t

spending much. Fewer people are losingjobs, but not many are being hired. Homeand stock prices are up, but workers’ pay istrailing inflation. Auto sales have jumped,but manufacturing is faltering.

This is what an economy stuck in a slow-growth rut can look like. The U.S. economygrew at a scant 1.3 percent annual rate inthe April-June quarter — too weak to re-duce high unemployment. And most econo-mists foresee little if any improvement therest of the year.

Many Americans are reducing debt loadsinstead of spending freely. Builders areborrowing less and constructing homes at amodest pace. Businesses are being cau-tious about hiring and expanding.

In the long run, reduced debts and risinghome and stock prices will help rebuildhousehold wealth, boost consumer spend-ing and spur job growth. But it’s takingtime.

“The U.S. outlook could best be de-scribed as one of near-term weakness andlong-term strength,” said Chris Jones, aneconomist at TD Bank.

Medicarefines forpatients

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — If youor an elderly relative havebeen hospitalized recentlyand noticed extra attentionwhen the time came to bedischarged, there’s more to itthan good customer service.

Starting Monday,Medicare will fine hospitalsthat have too many patientsreadmitted within 30 days ofdischarge due to complica-tions. The penalties are partof a broader push underPresident Barack Obama’shealth care law to improvequality and cut costs.

About two-thirds of thehospitals serving Medicarepatients, or some 2,200 facil-ities, will be hit with penal-ties averaging $125,000 perfacility this year, accordingto government estimates.

Data to assess the penal-ties have been collected andcrunched, and Medicare hasshared the results with indi-vidual hospitals. Medicareplans to post details onlinelater and people can look uphow their community hospi-tals performed.

It adds up to a new way ofdoing business for hospitals,and they have scrambled toprepare for well over a year.They are working on ways toimprove communicationwith rehabilitation centersand doctors who follow pa-tients after they’re released,as well as connecting indi-vidually with patients.

“There is a lot of activity atthe hospital level tostraighten out our internalprocesses,” said Nancy Fos-ter, vice president for qualityand safety at the AmericanHospital Association. “Weare also spreading our wingsa little and reaching outsidethe hospital, to the extentthat we can, to make sure pa-tients are getting the ongoingtreatment they need.”

DES MOINES, Iowa —Five weeks to Election Day,President Barack Obama iswithin reach of the 270 elec-toral votes needed to win asecond term. RepublicanMitt Romney’s path to vic-tory is narrowing.

To overtake Obama, Rom-ney would need to quicklygain the upper hand innearly all of the nine stateswhere he and Obama are

competingthe hardest.

Polls showthe presi-dent with asteady leadin many ofthem asR o m n e ylooks to shiftthe dynam-ics of therace, starting with their firstdebate Wednesday in Denver.

If the election were heldtoday, an Associated Pressanalysis shows Obamawould win at least 271 elec-toral votes, with likely victo-ries in crucial Ohio and Iowaalong with 19 other statesand the District of Columbia.Romney would win 23 states

for a total of206.

To oust theDemocraticincumbent,R o m n e ywould needto take up-f o r - g r a b sFlorida, Col-orado, Ne-

vada, North Carolina, NewHampshire and Virginia,which would put him at 267votes, and upend Obama in ei-ther Ohio or Iowa.

The AP analysis isn’t meantto be predictive. Rather, it isintended to provide a snap-shot of a race that until re-cently has been stubbornlyclose in the small number ofthe most contested states.

Obama within reach of second term based on numbersPresident closerto getting 270electoral votes

WHY IT MATTERS: Social Security� THE ISSUE: Unless Congress acts, the trust funds

that support Social Security will run out of money in2033, according to the trustees who oversee the retire-ment and disability program. At that point, Social Se-curity would collect only enough tax revenue each yearto pay about 75 percent of benefits. That benefit cutwouldn’t sit well with the millions of older Americanswho rely on Social Security for most of their income.

� WHERE THEY STAND:

� President Barack Obama hasn’t laid out a detailedplan for addressing Social Security. He’s called for bi-partisan talks on strengthening the program, but hedidn’t embrace the plan produced by a bipartisandeficit reduction panel he created in 2010.

� Republican challenger Mitt Romney proposes a gradualincrease in the retirement age to account for growing lifeexpectancy. For future generations, Romney would slowthe growth of benefits “for those with higher incomes.”

MEDINAH, Ill. — Erasing someof their worst Ryder Cup memories,the Europeans wore the image ofSeve Ballesteros on their sleevesand played their hearts out Sundayat Medinah to match the greatestcomeback in history and head homewith that precious gold trophy.

Europe got its payback for Brook-line, when the Americans roaredback from the same 10-6 deficit.This rally was even more remark-able, carried out before a raucousAmerican crowd that began theirchants of “USA!” some three hoursbefore the first match got under way.

Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed hiseyes and fought back tears whenKaymer holed a 6-foot par putt tobeat Steve Stricker and give Europethe point it needed to keep the cup.

This was the first Ryder Cup sinceBallesteros, the soul of Europeangolf in this event, died last May of abrain tumor. Olazabal wanted histeam to wear navy blue, Seve’s fa-vorite color, and added a clevertouch — his iconic silhouette on thesleeves of their shirts.

But Griffin wasn’t finished. He completedthree straight passes to move the Redskinsfrom their own 20 to the 41, then ran for 15

The twosome combinedto post a score of 66 in theopening round of the LPGATeaching and Club Profes-sionals Southeast SectionTeam Championship onSunday at the Black Dia-mond Ranch QuarryCourse.

“We had eight birdiesand a few bogeys,” Hullsaid. “But the thing was, wedidn’t do it on the samehole. We just kind of ham-and-egged it the wholeday.”

Their 66 puts them in thelead going into today’s 18-hole round, which will fea-ture nine holes of scrambleplay and nine in the Chap-man, or alternating-shot,format. Tied for second twostrokes back at 68 areRobyn Roberson and CarolPreisinger as well as de-fending champion CarolynHill, who’s playing withKathy Grant-Nyman.

Also in the hunt areKaren Palacious Jansenand Charlotta Sorenstamat 69. They combined withDee Reynolds and BobReynolds to fire a 127 inSunday’s pro-am segmentof the tournament, also abetter-ball format, to finishfirst, one stroke ahead ofVaughn, Hull, DonnaHedgepath and KarenFisher, who shot 128.

“She was our MVP forsure,” said PalaciousJansen, referring to DeeReynolds.

yard field goal with 5 seconds remainingand the Atlanta Falcons remained un-beaten, rallying past the Carolina Pan-thers 30-28 on Sunday.

The Falcons (4-0) are off to their beststart since 2004, when they reached theNFC championship game. Despite takinga career-high seven sacks, Matt Ryanthrew three touchdown passes for At-lanta. Bryant added three field goals.

The Panthers (1-3) nearly clinched iton Cam Newton’s run with just over aminute remaining, but he fumbled the ballwhile trying to dive for the necessaryyardage. Carolina recovered and woundup punting, downing the ball at the At-lanta 1. But Ryan immediately got theFalcons out of the hole, throwing a 59-yard pass to Roddy White.

Four plays later, Bryant won it.

Texans 38, Titans 14HOUSTON — Danieal Manning and

Kareem Jackson returned interceptionsfor touchdowns and Matt Schaub threwtwo TD passes.

49ers 34, Jets 0EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Carlos

Rogers returned a fumble 51 yards for atouchdown, and San Francisco ran formore than 200 yards.

Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter andbackup quarterback Colin Kaepernick —on a wildcat-style option — all ran forscores as the 49ers (3-1) bounced backfrom a loss at Minnesota. Rather thanhead back to the West Coast, coach Jim Harbaugh chose to have his teamstay in eastern Ohio — and it apparentlyhelped.

The Jets (2-2) lost top wide receiverSantonio Holmes to what appeared to bea serious foot injury. It was the first timeNew York was shut out since losing 9-0 toGreen Bay in 2010, and the Jets’ biggestshutout home loss since falling 37-0 toBuffalo in 1989.

Broncos 37, Raiders 6DENVER — Peyton Manning finished

Willis McGahee ran for 112 yards forhis 32nd-career 100-yard game.

Vikings 20, Lions 13DETROIT — Percy Harvin returned the

opening kickoff 105 yards for a touch-down and Marcus Sherels scored on apunt return early in the third for Min-nesota.

Minnesota (3-1), in first place in theNFC North, matched the number of winsit had last season. The Vikings alsosnapped an 11-game losing streak in thedivision.

The Lions (1-3) have lost three straight.They are the first team since at least

1940 to give up a kickoff and a punt re-turn for TDs in consecutive games, ac-cording to STATS LLC. They gave upscores on a kickoff and punt in lastweek’s 44-41 loss in overtime at Ten-nessee.

Rams 19, Seahawks 13ST. LOUIS — Rookie Greg Zuerlein

kicked four field goals, including a 58-yarder and a club record 60-yarder, andthe Rams also used a fake field goal toscore their only TD of the game.

The Rams (2-2) went ahead 10-7 latein the first half when a fake field goal at-tempt turned into a 2-yard touchdownpass from punter Johnny Hekker toDanny Amendola.

The Seahawks (2-2) lost six days afterbeating Green Bay when a botched callby replacement officials on the final playgave them the winning touchdown. Regu-lar officials were back this weekend.

Marshawn Lynch led Seattle with 118yards on 20 carries, including an 18-yardscore on the game’s first possession.

The Rams intercepted Russell Wilsonthree times, with Bradley Fletcher clinch-ing it with a pick at the Rams 25 with aminute to go.

to tight end Scott Chandler.The Bills (2-2) dropped to 1-17 in their

last 18 games against New England.

Chargers 37, Chiefs 20KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Philip Rivers

threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns,and the San Diego Chargers capitalizedon six turnovers by the Kansas CityChiefs in a 37-20 victory Sunday.

Five of the Chiefs’ turnovers came inthe first half, when San Diego (3-1) racedto a 27-6 lead. The Chargers coasted therest of the way to sole possession of firstplace in the AFC West.

Matt Cassel threw for 251 yards andtwo touchdowns for Kansas City (1-3),but he also had three first-half intercep-tions. Jamaal Charles, who followed hisbig game last week at New Orleans withtouchdowns rushing and receiving, fum-bled twice.

San Diego running back Jackie Battlehad a pair of scores against his formerteam. Dwayne Bowe had seven catchesfor 108 yards and a touchdown forKansas City.

Packers 28, Saints 27GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers

threw a go-ahead touchdown to JordyNelson in the fourth quarter, and GreenBay shook off a week’s worth of contro-versy with a rally.

With Packers fans howling about what appeared to be yet another bad call — this time by the regular officials,not the replacements — Garrett Hartley missed a 48-yard field goal at-tempt with just under three minutes re-maining, costing the Saints a shot at the lead.

Rodgers threw for 319 yards with fourtouchdowns and an interception for thePackers (2-2).

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline, left, pulls in a pass Sunday as Arizona Cardinals cornerback PatrickPeterson defends during the second half in Glendale, Ariz.

Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. —The Arizona Cardinalswon a wild one — notthat there’s anything un-usual about that.

Jay Feely kicked a 46-yard field goal 6:31 intoovertime to keep theCardinals unbeaten witha 24-21 victory over theMiami Dolphins.

The Cardinals (4-0)forced overtime whenKevin Kolb threw a 15-yard touchdown pass onfourth down to AndreRoberts with 22 secondsto play in regulation.

Two big defensiveplays set up the final two

Arizona scores. First,Daryl Washington sackedrookie Ryan Tannehill,whose fumble was recov-ered by Vonnie Hollidayat the Arizona 49 and theCardinals moved down-field to score.

The winning field goalcame after Tannehillwas hit by Paris Lenonas he threw and KerryRhodes came up with aninterception.

Tannehill threw for431 yards. Brian Hart-line set a Dolphinsrecord with 253 yards re-ceiving on 12 catches.

Arizona has won eightstraight at home and 11of 13 overall, but this one,

like so many before it, wasdecided by a whisker.

The Cardinals, 4-0 forthe first time since win-ning their first seven in1974, have played fiveovertime games in theirlast 13, winning them all.The Dolphins (1-3) losttheir second straightovertime game.

Kolb was 29 of 48 for324 yards and threetouchdowns. But he wassacked eight times andthrew two interceptions,one from the Miami 3-yard line after PatrickPeterson’s 61-yard fum-ble return gave Arizonathe ball on the Miami 3in the fourth quarter.

In the first half, theonly big plays came fromMiami.

Tannehill’s’ 57-yardpass to Hartline, whobeat cornerback WilliamGay repeatedly, put Miamion the Arizona 7. O’BrienSchofield sacked Tan-nehill for a 14-yard lossto the 20, but the Miamiquarterback followed witha 19-yard pass to Hart-line to the Cardinals’ 1.

The Dolphins went forit on fourth down, andLane bulled over for thescore, only the thirdtouchdown allowed byArizona this season, toput Miami up 10-0 with1:56 left in the half.

Alfred Morris rushed for113 yards and scored on a39-yard run.

Josh Freeman threw for299 yards and one touchdown,leading the Bucs back fromtheir big deficit with helpfrom Mike Williams and

Vincent Jackson, who scoredon a 7-yard reception late inthe third quarter.

Jackson finished with sixcatches for 100 yards, andWilliams had five recep-tions for 115 yards.

Griffin was sacked sixtimes and was hit hardafter handing off on someoption plays, promptingcoach Mike Shanahan toask the rookie to take someprecautions on the field toprotect himself.

With regular officialsback on the job, the Bucswere flagged twice for un-necessary roughness on theRedskins quarterback —once on a throw out of hisown end zone and the otherwhen he was picked up anddropped for a 2-yard loss byTampa Bay rookie safetyMark Barron on a designedrun.

Barron read the quarter-back keeper perfectly, butwas flagged when he liftedGriffin into the air beforedumping him to the groundand falling on top of Griffin.The 2011 Heisman Trophywinner bounced right up,clapped his hands, thenthrew for 20 yards to Gar-con on the next play.

Largely on the strength ofcontaining Cam Newtonand limiting Carolina to 10yards on the ground in aseason-opening victory, theBucs entered Sunday al-lowing a league-low 47yards per game rushing.

They gave up almost thatmuch alone when Morris tooka pitch from Griffin andstarted off left tackle beforecutting back to the middleof the field on his TD run.

Tampa Bay’s offensesputtered until Freeman

connected with Williams ona 65-yard pass that led tothe TD pass to Jackson thattrimmed Washington’s leadto 21-13.

Two more completions toJackson, this time for 54and then 22 yards, set upLeGarrette Blount’s 2-yardTD that helped the Bucspull within 21-19.

Griffin began the winningdrive from the Washington20 with 1:42 left. He com-pleted passes of 15 yards toSantana Moss, 20 to FredDavis and 4 to Evan Roysterbefore taking off on his bigrun that got the Redskinsinto field goal range.

The Redskins played with-out safety Brandon Meri-weather and receiver AldrickRobinson, who were declaredout after colliding in theend zone during pregamewarmups.

Alabama is a unanimousNo. 1 in the Top 25 for thefirst time this season, andLSU slipped a spot againafter another sketchy per-formance. Now the Tigersare No. 4 behind No. 2 Ore-gon and No. 3 Florida State.

With Stanford the loneteam in the top 19 to lose,the top of the rankings hadonly some relatively minorshuffling Sunday.

That will change nextweek, when five games fea-ture matchups of rankedteams, including three withboth teams ranked betweenNos. 5 and 11.

Call it the first shakedownSaturday of the season.

No. 5 Georgia is at No. 6South Carolina in a SECEast showdown that givesthe winner the inside trackto the division title.

No. 4 LSU goes to No. 10Florida, a crossover SECmatchup that should an-swer a key question in thenational championshiprace: How worried shouldthe Tigers be about theirlethargic offense?

In the Big 12, offenseshouldn’t be a problemwhen No. 8 West Virginiavisits No. 11 Texas.

The Mountaineers wereridiculous in Saturday’s 70-63 victory against Baylor.Geno Smith threw for eighttouchdowns. For the sea-son, he’s completed 83 per-cent of his passes whilegrabbing the early lead inthe Heisman Trophy race.

No. 2 Oregon is homeagainst No. 23 Washington,which is coming off a 17-13victory against Stanford.

In the Big Ten, No. 12 OhioState hosts No. 21 Nebraska.

Add to that No. 9 NotreDame facing Miami (4-1) inChicago, and No. 3 FloridaState playing at North Car-olina State, and there is nodoubt the top 10 will look

very different next Sunday— with one exception.

Alabama is off, so No. 1 ismost likely safe.

MOVING UPIt was only one spot, but

Florida State’s move to No. 3 gives the Seminolestheir best ranking sincethey were No. 3 in the firstweek of November 2003.

The Atlantic Coast Con-ference has only one otherranked team right now, andthe Seminoles have alreadydispatched Clemson. Theydo have to play at Miami(Oct. 20) and Virginia Tech(Nov. 8), and as always theyfinish the season againstrival Florida.

Fact is, of all the teamsthat look like national titlecontenders right now,Florida State has the mostmanageable schedule.

IN AND OUTNo. 24 Northwestern is

ranked for the first timesince the last regular-sea-son poll of the 2008 season.

Given the state of the BigTen, there’s no reason tothink they can’t contend fora Legends Division titlewith Nebraska, Michiganand Michigan State. Still,the combined record ofNorthwestern’s opponentsis 6-14.

No. 23 Washington alsomoved into the rankings forthe first time this season,and No. 25 UCLA was backin after a week out.

Falling out after losseswere Michigan State andBaylor. Boise State droppedout after a 32-29 victory atNew Mexico.

ODDS & ENDSWith Boise State out,

there are no teams fromoutside the BCS automatic-qualifying conferences inthe poll. ... Clemson andTCU are tied for 15th in thisweek’s rankings.

’Noles at No. 3 for first time in nine years

Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas —All those 30-something de-fenders for the ChicagoBears can still play. Theyget to quarterbacks andmake plenty of tackles evenif they may have lost a littlespeed through the years.

The Bears went intoWeek 4 leading the NFLwith 14 sacks, including 2 1/2 each by ends JuliusPeppers and Israel Idonije.Linebackers Lance Briggsand Brian Urlacher lead theteam with 21 tackles each.

And Urlacher, their de-fensive elder statesman at34, believes he’s just gettingstarted going into Mondaynight’s game in Dallas aftermissing the preseason be-cause of a surgically re-paired left knee.

“I don’t have any pain. ...The more I play, the betterI’ll get, the more in shapeI’ll get,” said Urlacher who,as promised, didn’t missany regular-season games.“Preseason just ended forme. That’s the way I lookedat it. I didn’t play the wholepreseason and now I feellike I’ve got a little bit ofgame shape and can run alittle better.”

The Bears will be at Cow-boys Stadium chasing quar-terback Tony Romo in amatchup of 2-1 teams.

Romo took quite a beat-ing last week. He wassacked four times, twicelosing fumbles after beingsandwiched between de-fenders, and was hit severalother times in a tight winover Tampa Bay.

The Cowboys will get nobreak against the oldergroup from Chicago.

“They are an outstandingdefense. They really are. Itstarts with those guys upfront. ... They don’t do an in-credible amount of blitzing,

but they still provide pres-sure as much as any team,”Cowboys coach Jason Gar-rett said. “They play theright way. They play with arelentless spirit.”

Chicago was among theNFL’s best defenses thefirst three weeks, allowingonly 279 total yards (sixth inthe NFL) and 16.7 points(fifth). The Bears have a fifth30-something starter in rightcornerback Charles Tillman.

“They play so well as aunit right now,” Romo said.“They’re getting a greatpass rush up front. And itallows those guys to playfast and react and do thethings that allow them toget their hands on the ball.It’s just a very, very toughunit to go against.”

DeMarcus Ware, theperennial Pro Bowl line-backer who himself turned30 this summer, and theDallas defense is prettygood as well.

The Cowboys are first inthe NFL allowing only 250

yards per game. Tampa Bayhad 166 yards last week,only 96 before its final driveof the game. That defense isa big reason they have man-aged to win two games de-spite scoring an NFL-low 47through the first three games.

Second-year Dallas de-fensive coordinator RobRyan has been less boastfulthis season, not as outgoingin proclamations of howgood his unit can or shouldbe. They have insteadshown that with their play.

“I think this group is allin together,” Ryan said. “Weworked hard last year. Wejust weren’t quite as effec-tive, but all of our guys be-lieve in each other. I thinkthey believe in the coaches..... We’re all really comingtogether.”

Peppers has twice hadthree-sack games againstthe Cowboys, but those werehis rookie year in 2002 andthree years later while stillwith Carolina. Those werealso when Dallas had the likes

of Quincy Carter, ChadHutchinson and an old DrewBledsoe at quarterback, in-stead of the mobile Romo.

“You’ve got to be lockedin on your job. You’ve got tobe disciplined,” Briggs said.“When he starts to scramble,you’ve got to find a receiverand plaster him. And our D-line has to keep him in thepocket. We’ve got to do agood job of keeping him inthe pocket and not allowinghim to create more time,because if you get enoughtime on any defense you’llfind a hole.”

Urlacher said he has blitzedonce all season, and that theBears haven’t had to verymuch this year because ofthe pressure the defensivefront gets on quarterbacks.

Monday’s game is set tobe Urlacher’s 172nd careerstart for the Bears, match-ing Mike Singletary for thethird-most in team history. Ifhe starts the rest of the season, he will match Walter Payton for the most.

it’s great. It’s good for base-ball. The two wild card sys-tem seems to be workingthis year. Mission accom-plished.”

The Rays go home to playthe Orioles, who are tiedwith the Yankees for the ALEast lead. And Oakland is athome against Texas to wrapup the season.

Chicago’s chances arepretty much mission impos-sible. They White Sox havelost 10 of 12 and fallen threegames behind Detroit withthree to go. Chicago’s hope:win three straight in Cleve-land and root for the Royalsto sweep the Tigers inKansas City, forcing a one-game tiebreaker Thursday.

“Obviously we’re upagainst it now, but we’ll con-tinue to play,” Chicago’sPaul Konerko said. “That’swhat we do and what we’vedone all year. It doesn’t lookgood obviously. ... You neverknow what can happen. Themain thing is to get us inorder and go win a ballgame tomorrow.”

The White Sox held atleast a share of the leadfrom July 24 until Wednes-day and had not been thisfar back since late May.Their starting pitching hascome up short and theyhave hit .153 (13 for 85) withrunners in scoring positionduring the dozen-gameslide.

“We didn’t play goodenough. The effort wasthere. The work was there.Everything was there. Wejust didn’t get it done,”White Sox catcher A.J.Pierzynski said.

Price (20-5) improved to12-1 with a 2.26 ERA in hislast 18 starts, allowing tworuns and five hits in seveninnings. He became thefourth 20-game winner ofthe season, joining Washing-ton’s Gio Gonzalez (21-8), theNew York Mets’ R.A. Dickey(20-6) and the Los AngelesAngels’ Jered Weaver (20-4).

“We still have a chance toget in with a good seriesagainst Baltimore ... Weneed a little help fromTexas, but we have to con-tinue to win and hopefully

we get back in like lastyear,” said Price, the first 20-game winner in Tampa Bayhistory.

Asked who he would votefor if he could cast a ballotfor the AL Cy Young, Pricewasn’t shy.

“I would vote for myself,”he said.

And Maddon agreed withhis ace lefty.

“The 20 wins, he shouldhave like 25 wins,” Maddonsaid. “He’s pitched wellenough to have mid-20sbased on our lack of scoringruns sometimes. The ERA ishighly impressive, pitchingin this division, this league,the DH. ... It all matters. Tobe able to accomplish thathere is quite an accomplish-ment.”

B.J. Upton his hit his 27thand 28th homers, andTampa Bay also got a soloshot from Ryan Roberts.

“You know you prettymuch have to win them all,”Upton said, sizing up theRays’ chances.

Chicago starter JoseQuintana (6-6) got in troublebefore the game was barelythree minutes old, giving upa leadoff triple to DesmondJennings and Upton’s two-run homer.

Roberts hit a two-outhomer in the fourth made it3-0. The White Sox rallied inthe bottom half when AlexRios delivered an RBI sin-gle and Dayan Viciedo hit abases-loaded sacrifice fly.

Upton’s leadoff double inthe fifth finished Quintana,who allowed four runs andsix hits in four innings. EvanLongoria hit an RBI doubleand Ben Francisco added asacrifice fly off relieverNate Jones to make it 5-2.Upton homered again in theninth against Addison Reed.

NOTES: Pierzynski hadhis family at the game. He iseligible for free agency andthis might have been hisfinal home game in Chicago.Pierzynski, who came toChicago in 2005, said he’dlove to finish his career withthe White Sox but under-stands that might not hap-pen. He’s had a career-best27 homers. ... Rays C JoseMolina (right quadricepsstrain) was out of startinglineup for fifth straightgame but caught the bottomof the ninth.

It was the first time thistournament made an ap-pearance at Black DiamondRanch, and the QuarryCourse made an impression.

“I love it,” said Vaughn.“It’s a beautiful course. I’mfrom Naples (Florida), andthere everything is so flat.Here there are so manyhills; it’s such a challenge. Itmakes you focus better.”

Still, the different formatsfor today’s play, which be-gins at 8 a.m., should pro-vide a different set ofchallenges. And that couldhelp some teams more thanothers.

“Our strengths will cometomorrow, on alternatingshots and scramble,” saidMarion Walker, generalmanager at Seven RiversGolf and Country Club inCrystal River and one of thelocal pros in the tourna-

ment. “Today, one golfercould dominate and theother ride her coattails.Hopefully, it will be betterfor us tomorrow.”

Walker and her partner,Margaret Kirsch, shot afirst-round 74. Only five ofthe 20 pro teams managedto better par (which is 72) onthe 6,027-yard green teeQuarry Course. Teresa Zam-boni and Annette Deluca,tournament winners in2010, shot a 71 and alsoteamed with Patty Fox andGayle Erickson for a pro-amscore of 130, good for thirdplace.

“We’re going to have toplay a steady game,” saidHull on what they’ll need todo to finish on top. “We’ll tryand ham-and-egg it in.

“Thing is, we’ll have to dowhat we did today. Weplayed unpressured andhad fun.”

ceived an explanation of theruling, although he admitted hehadn’t actually sought out one.He says there’s nothing theCowboys (2-2, 0-1) can do nowbut move on.

DOVER, Del. — Brad Ke-selowski had just enoughfuel left to take the check-ered flag Sunday at DoverInternational Speedway forhis second victory in threeweeks.

Keselowski won theChase for the Sprint Cupchampionship opener atChicagoland and followedthat by conserving enoughfuel down the stretch atDover.

Keselowski raced to hisfifth victory of the seasonand zipped into the pointslead.

Chase driver Jeff Gordonfinished second. JimmieJohnson lost his grip on thepoints lead with a fourth-place finish.

Johnson and Denny Ham-lin, who faded to eighth, hadtwo of the top cars all race.They just did not haveenough fuel to make a hard,clean push in the closinglaps of the 400-mile race.

There are seven races leftin the Chase.

Keselowski heads to Tal-ladega Superspeedway asthe hottest driver in theChase.

“There’s a lot of racing togo, a ton of racing to go,” Ke-selowski said. “Certainly,we’re in good position.”

Kyle Busch and Johnsonhad to ease off the gas latein the race and were deniedtheir chances of victory. ForBusch, it would have been anice confidence boost in aseason where he failed tomake the Chase. Johnsonlost a chance to win hisrecord eighth race at Doverwhen he had to slow downin the No. 48 over the finallaps.

Hamlin briefly took thelead but he had to make apit stop of his own with 10laps left. Hamlin had talkedthis week about embracingDover after calling the mileconcrete oval his least fa-vorite one on the circuit. Hewon the pole and seemed inposition to pull off a break-through win until fuel issuesforced him down pit roadbehind Busch, his Joe GibbsRacing teammate.

That left it to Gordon andKeselowski to duel for thelead over the closing laps.

Gordon hoped Ke-selowski’s No. 2 Dodgewould run out of instead.

Instead, Keselowski ranoff with the victory.

“We were just a top-five carall weekend,” Keselowski

said. “My guys just kept usthere. When you’re in topfive, you’re in good positionfor things to happen.”

Gordon followed his thirdplace last week at NewHampshire with anotherstrong run at Dover. Heneeded it after a 35th-placefinish in the opener atChicagoland buried him inthe standings.

“We’re not going to con-tinue in this championshipagainst those guys up front ifthey keep running the waythey’re running,” he said.“The only way we’re goingto get a chance at them is ifthey have a problem like wehad (in the opener). If wekeep running like this, we’llget the wins.”

Keselowski had four ca-reer wins coming into theseason. He had his careerbreakthrough at Talladegain 2009 when he won hisfirst career race. He wonthere again this season inMay.

There were some roughfinishes for the rest of theChase field. Martin TruexJr. was sixth, Clint Bowyerwas ninth, Dale EarnhardtJr. 11th, Kevin Harvick 13th,Kasey Kahne 15th, Greg Bif-fle 16th, Tony Stewart 20th,and Matt Kenseth wasknocked out of the race andwas 35th.

Nelson Piquet Jr. winsTrucks race at VegasLAS VEGAS — Nelson Piquet

Jr. raced to his second NASCARTrucks Series victory of theyear Saturday night, passingMatt Crafton on the final lap atLas Vegas Motor Speedway.

Piquet, the Brazilian whosefather won three Formula Onetitles, also won at Road Amer-ica in Wisconsin in June.

Crafton took the lead on arestart after the final caution,with Piquet close behind. Piquetwent to the bottom of the trackon the final lap, and passedCrafton in the second turn.

“He (Crafton) was running highall the time,” Piquet said. “WhenI saw him running up, I startedattacking the bottom for a fewlaps. And it worked in the end.

“I was trying (to passCrafton) every lap. It wasn’t be-cause that was the last lap.”

The final pass was the 17thlead change, two more than theprevious Las Vegas record.

“That is just the hardest wayto lose a race,” Crafton said. “Iwill not sleep for a week. I’ll bethinking what I could have donedifferent.”

Pole-winner Joey Coulterwas third, followed by BrendanGaughan, Todd Bodine, JamesBuesche, Cale Gale, TimothyPeters and David Mayhew.

Ty Dillon was 10th and heldon to the series lead, ahead ofBuescher by one point with fiveraces remaining. Peters is thirdin the standings, 24 points be-hind leader Dillon.

During a caution period thatended on lap 106, Dillon col-lided on pit road with Mayhewand dropped out of the top 10until the final few laps.

“We had an awesome trucktonight,” Dillon said. “Comingoff pit road, I really don’t knowwhat happened. I’m proud ofmy team because we battledback. It hurts a little bit, but westill have the points lead.”

Brown wins NHRAMidwest NationalsMADISON, Ill. — Antron

Brown raced to his sixth TopFuel victory of the season Sun-day, winning the NHRA Mid-west Nationals to increase hischampionship points lead.

Brown beat championshiprival Spencer Massey in thefinal round and moved 21 pointsahead with three races left inthe Full Throttle Countdown tothe Championship playoffs.

Brown had a run of 3.766seconds at 325.22 mph, whileMassey trailed with a 3.812 at324.05.

“It was a stressful day wherewe matched up against somegreat competition,” said Brown,

who beat Bruce Litton, SteveTorrence and Brandon Bernsteinin early rounds. “Matching upagainst my teammate (Massey)in the final was big. We’ve beenback and forth in the points. It’sgreat to have six wins, but rightnow they’re all in the past. Weneed to go back to the shop andget focused on these last threeraces. It’s just so competitive outhere and this points race is goingto go down to the last race.”

Jack Beckman won in FunnyCar, Erica Enders in Pro Stock,and Eddie Krawiec in Pro StockMotorcycle.

Beckman moved within 30points of Funny Car pointsleader Ron Capps by racing tohis third victory of the season.Beckman took the final over ared-lighting Matt Hagan.

NEW YORK — The NHLand the players’ associationmet for a third straight daySunday, and again avoidedthe troublesome money is-sues that are fueling the on-going lockout.

“We did not discuss coreeconomic issues, as was theplan,” NHLPA special coun-sel Steve Fehr said aftermeeting for five hours withthe NHL. “We discussedhealth and safety, drug test-ing, including more discus-sion of drug testing, medicalcare etc. Also a number ofthings in the CBA legal areaof player movements.”

The drug policy was a keycomponent of talks Fridaywhen the sides got togetherfor the first time since theNHL imposed the lockouton Sept. 16.

On Saturday, the sides fo-cused on clarifications ofdefinitions of what makesup hockey-related revenue— a pot that exceeded $3billion.

“It was a productive day.We made some progress insome areas,” Fehr said Sun-day. “I would say it’s goodthat we were talking. It’strue that we could’ve donethis last week or a week be-fore or a week before that,but it’s a lot better than doingit three weeks from now.”

Because of difficulty infinding common ground onhow to split up that money,the league and union in-stead concentrated allweekend on secondary is-sues that will also be in-cluded in any newagreement.

“I hate to sound like abroken record, but we needsome movement on the eco-nomic issues. We need somemovement on the system is-sues,” NHL Deputy Com-missioner Bill Daly said. “Weneed them to be scheduledas the subject of a meeting,and right now the union isnot prepared to do that.”

Negotiations on Sundaywere conducted at the leagueoffice without NHLPA Exec-utive Director Donald Fehrand NHL Commissioner GaryBettman. They met privatelyFriday and Saturday, awayfrom the other negotiations.

“I think that may demon-strate more than anythingelse the nature of the issueswe’re talking about,” Dalysaid about the absences ofBettman and Donald Fehr.

“So they will be at thetable when we’re talkingabout the issues that are re-ally going to get this dealdone or not.”

There was a thought thattalks might continue Mon-day, but that doesn’t seemlikely as the NHL wants tomeet internally with itsclubs before getting back to-gether with the players’ as-sociation.

“We covered a lot of thingsover the last three days,”Daly said. “We both have alot of homework projects todo and drafts we owe eachother on certain things. Wethink (Monday) would bebest used for that purpose.

“What we did today, and thelast two days, I don’t thinkany of that is going to get adeal done. But they are all nec-essaryelements of the deal.”

The entire preseason slateof games was canceled bythe NHL on Thursday, andregular-season games —scheduled to begin Oct. 11 —could soon be called off, too.

The NHL canceled theentire 2004-05 season be-cause of a lockout that even-tually led to the collectivebargaining agreement thatexpired this month.

By working on secondaryagreements now, the sidesare ahead of where theywere back in 2005 when adeal was finally finished.

“All the stuff we’ve donethe last three days werethings we did after we hadresolved the economic is-sues, and this one is notplaying out that way,” Dalysaid. “We’ll have to see howit plays out.”

DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — AdamSandler’s monster mash-up “Hotel Transylvania”has brought the weekendbox office back to life aftera late-summer slump.

The animated comedyfrom Sony Pictures de-buted at No. 1 with $43million, one of thestrongest starts ever for amovie opening in Septem-ber, according to studioestimates Sunday.

“Hotel Transylvania” seta new high for Septemberdebuts in terms of actualdollars, beating the previ-ous record of $35.7 millionfor 2002’s “Sweet HomeAlabama.” But factoring intoday’s higher admissionprices, “Sweet Home Ala-bama” sold more tickets.

This weekend’s box of-fice was further strength-ened by a solid No. 2 debutfor another Sony release,Bruce Willis and JosephGordon-Levitt’s time-travelthriller “Looper,” whichtook in $21.2 million.

Hollywood’s overallgrosses rose for the firsttime in a month comparedto the same weekend lastyear. Revenues totaled $120million, up 21 percent fromthe same weekend a yearago, when “Dolphin Tale”led with $13.9 million, ac-cording to box-officetracker Hollywood.com.

“Sony really kind ofsaved the day here, turningthings around after a fullmonth of less-than-stellarbox office,” said Holly-wood.com analyst PaulDergarabedian. “The post-summer period didn’t ex-actly set the world on fire.”

Actress America Ferrara interacts with children in Kolkata, India. Ferrara, Meg Ryan and Olivia Wilde are amongthe actresses who brought their star power to the PBS documentary “Half the Sky,” which details efforts to helpexploited women worldwide. It airs Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 1 and 2.

LYNN ELBERAP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES — It wasn’t a juicyscript that brought together a half-dozen Hollywood stars, includingMeg Ryan, America Ferrera andOlivia Wilde. It was the chance to tellthe stories of women seeking, andfinding, lives unbound by oppression.

“Half the Sky,” a moving PBS doc-umentary series airing Monday andTuesday (9-11 p.m.; check local list-ings), provides unflinching accountsof the worldwide exploitation andabuse that can ensnare women aswell as girls. But it doesn’t stopshort of hopefulness.

The series details efforts to helpfemales escape brutality andpoverty through health care, educa-tion and economic advancement,sometimes fostered by those whothemselves once suffered.

The extraordinary women fea-tured in “Half the Sky” include So-maly Mam, who was forced into thesex trafficking trade as a youngsterin Cambodia and now, as an adult,has created a program to help rescuegirls from the life she once endured.

Mam and others like her “under-score that this isn’t just an issue ofreally depressing things happeningaround the world because, side-by-side with the worst of humanity, youencounter the very best,” saidNicholas D. Kristof, whose best-selling 2009 book (co-written withhis wife, Sheryl WuDunn), inspiredthe PBS series.

That’s what Ryan, who visitedCambodia for the documentary,found in one brave child.

“This little girl had been kept ina barrel and let out to service aman, put back, let out again, andthat’s her life. She said, ‘People say

love is hard. I don’t think so at all. Ithink hate is hard. Love is easy,’”the actress recounted.

Ferrera read the book by Kristof,a New York Times columnist, andWuDunn before she was ap-proached for the PBS documentary.She found their work — which in-cludes a “What You Can Do” chap-ter to encourage readerinvolvement — a testament towomen’s refusal to be victims.

“All around the world, women arethe ones pulling themselves out ofthese situations. When I read ‘Halfthe Sky,’ I would go from completeand utter rage to just smiling ear toear,” said the former “Ugly Betty”star.

A woman “can be at the bottom ofthe bottom and find a way not to justlift herself up but her family andher entire community,” Ferrerasaid. “That made me really proud tobe a woman.”

Ferrera, Ryan, Diane Lane, EvaMendes and Gabrielle Union tookturns accompanying Kristof as hetraveled to Asia and Africa to spot-light work being done to change thestatus of those who “hold up halfthe sky,” as a Chinese proverb saysof women.

Ryan said she and her fellow ac-tors aren’t claiming expertise.

As a celebrity, “you can just sad-dle up next to something smart andimportant and that will get some at-tention. And it’s not like any of usare ... any more clear about it thananybody else,” she said.

The documentary includes inves-tigations of child prostitution inIndia, sexual assaults in SierraLeone and maternal mortality inSomaliland where, according to thedocumentary, one in 12 women diesin childbirth because of malnutri-tion and the effects of genital mutilation.

MIAMI — The TravelChannel has spent yearstelling stories about wherepeople go, but now it’s doinga show on how people getthere.

“Airport 24/7: Miami” of-fers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takesto move more than 100,000travelers each day throughMiami International Airport.

“We host a Super Bowlevery day at MIA,” securitydirector Lauren Stover said,comparing the number oftravelers to attendance at thechampionship NFL game.

With thousands of employ-ees running what can easilybe compared to a small city,the show follows workers asthey deal with terroristthreats, intercept drugsmugglers, attend to medicalemergencies, repair aircraftand secure an Air Force Onelanding, all the while tryingto get the passengers to theirflights and planes in the skyon time.

“This is one of many waysin which Travel Channel istrying to give viewers a dif-ferent look at all aspects oftravel,” network generalmanager Andy Singer said.“And we think the Miami In-

ternational Airport is a fas-cinating way to do that.”

The first two episodespremier at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

The idea for the showstarted with 2C Media ownerChris Sloan, who said he’shad a passion for commer-cial aviation since he was achild. His longtime hobbyhas been collecting photosand memorabilia from air-ports around the world. He’seven been maintaining awebsite about airports andairlines — airchive.com —for nearly a decade.

“I travel a lot,” Sloan said.“And I felt that this was aworld ... much maligned.”

Sloan said it was chal-lenging to convince airportofficials he wasn’t trying todo some kind of exposé orsmear job. And once MIAagreed to the show, they stillhad to convince multipleairlines and governmentagencies to give them ac-cess, Sloan said. But theirpatience and perseveranceappeared to pay off.

“Whenever you go to anairport, there are alwayssigns that say, ‘Staff Only,’‘Do Not Enter,’ ‘ProhibitedArea,’ ‘Alarm Will Go Off,’”Sloan said. “But we actuallygo to all those places, andthat’s unique.”

Bill Gates said, “Be nice to nerds. Chances areyou’ll end up working for one.”

There are different chances at the bridge table.In principle, whenever you take a finesse, you giveyourself a 50 percent chance of an extra trick. Ifyou have a suit like A-J-10 opposite x-x-x, you cantake two finesses and have a 76 percent chance oftwo tricks.

In today’s deal, South is in five clubs. The de-fenders start with two rounds of diamonds. De-clarer will lose a diamond and a heart. Can he dobetter than relying on the spade finesse?

North’s two-diamond cue-bid showed club sup-port with at least game-invitational values. South’sthree-diamond cue-bid asked his partner to bidthree no-trump with a diamond stopper. WhenNorth denied a stopper, South went for five clubs.

It is easy to rely on the spade finesse because itis likely to win; after all, East opened the bidding.But there is a better plan. South ruffs the seconddiamond, draws trumps ending on the board, ruffsthe last diamond, and plays three rounds of hearts,giving an opponent the lead. What happens?

If West is on play, he must either lead a spadeinto the ace-jack or concede a ruff-and-sluff, onwhich South’s spade loser evaporates.

If East takes the heart trick and shifts to a lowspade, South plays low from his hand. Here, Westhas to play the queen, so the contract makes. Butif West could play the 10, declarer would win onthe board and play a spade to his jack. He suc-ceeds whenever East has the 10 or queen.

Dear Annie: My mother-in-law blatantly favors heroldest granddaughter,

“Miranda,” to the ex-clusion of the otherfour. She says Mirandais the “good grand-daughter” and her 17-year-old sister, “Amy,”is the “troublemaker.”

I believe that Amyacts out partly becauseof the negative labelshe has been saddledwith for years. Mean-while, Miranda can dono wrong. She recentlypersuaded her grand-mother to let herboyfriend move intothe family home while her fatherwas out of town. My husband andI live out of state. When we visitthe relatives, my mother-in-lawspends the entire time talkingabout Miranda’s glowing charac-ter and wonderful achievements.Our three kids only see theirgrandmother twice a year. You’dthink she’d make an effort to getto know them a little. This fa-voritism does not do anything topromote family relationships.Our kids joke about their peckingorder in the family and actuallyrank all the grandchildrenthrough Grandma’s eyes. They re-alize that Miranda is No. 1 andAmy is No. 5 and that they fallsomewhere in between. How dowe approach my mother-in-lawabout her favoritism, letting herknow that it actually makes theother children resent both Mi-randa and her? — Mom of Nos. 2Through 4.

Dear Mom: It may not help, butplease ask your husband to speak

to his mother. He should explainthat her favoritism is obvious toeveryone and that her strong

preference for Mi-randa severely dam-ages her relationshipswith the other grand-children. Fortunately,your children haveone another for sup-port. They understandthat Grandma is besot-ted with their cousinand that it is not a re-flection on their char-acter. It’s Amy whosuffers the most.Please reach out toher.

Dear Annie: I amthe youngest of three children,and my parents are in their 80s.They both have myriad medicalconditions.

Since moving home, I got a newjob and assumed the role of care-giver for my parents. I cook, shop,run errands, do laundry and takethem to the doctor. My older sis-ter, who lives out of state, visitsoften and jumps right in to help.She will even trim the bushes. Mybrother, however, I have no usefor. He’s twice divorced, makes asix-figure income and travels ex-tensively. He could easily do morefor our parents, but his visits areinfrequent, and he stays less thantwo hours.The role of caregiver isone that should be shared equallyand enthusiastically between allsiblings. It’s one of the most hon-orable things one can do. Mybrother understands that. He justdoesn’t want to do it. What’s thebest way to get him to start pullinghis own weight? — Holding It To-gether in Indiana

Dear Indiana: You and your sis-ter are kind and compassionate.But you cannot force your brotherto be the same. Instead, ask himto contribute financially to yourparents’ care. Use the money tohire additional help around thehouse or to have a caregiver comeso you can get a break. Hopefully,he’ll be relieved to help in a waythat doesn’t require his physicalpresence, and you will be less resentful.

Dear Annie: This is for “Won-dering,” who wanted to know howto ask his parents about his in-heritance so he could plan his re-tirement. My mom passed awaysuddenly at the age of 64. Dad wasdevastated. A few years ago, hemarried a lovely lady and, at theage of 80, has rediscovered the joyof living.

His obligation was to providefor me, teach me right from wrongand allow me the opportunity toacquire the skills to be employ-able. It is my job to raise my kidswith the same love and valuesand provide for my own retire-ment. Dad has earned the right toenjoy the fruits of his labors, andI am delighted that he and mynew stepmother are spendingour inheritance. — Glad To BeDad’s Daughter

their match. That extra half-pointmade it a clear-cut win for Eu-rope, 14 1/2-13 1/2.

Woods and Stricker, the anchorsin the lineup, didn’t win a singlematch at Medinah.

Ian Poulter was the first to em-brace Olazabal, which was only fit-ting.

It was Poulter who gave Europehope Saturday evening when hemade five straight birdies to turn aloss into a win and swing momen-tum in Europe’s favor. Poulter wasup to his fist-pumping, eye-bulgingtricks again on the final day, win-ning the last two holes in hismatch against U.S. Open cham-pion Webb Simpson.

And he had plenty of help. Eu-rope’s top five players in thelineup all won, including RoryMcIlroy, who was lucky to be play-ing. McIlroy thought his matchwas at 12:25 p.m. — it was listed inEastern time, not Central — andneeded a police escort to get to thecourse with 10 minutes to spare.Then, he came up with key birdiesto hand Keegan Bradley his firstloss of the week.

The biggest match might havebelonged to Justin Rose. He wason the verge of losing to Phil Mick-elson when Rose holed a 12-footpar putt to halve the 16th, made a35-foot birdie putt from the back ofthe 17th green to win the hole, andthen closed out Mickelson with a12-foot birdie on the last hole.

Six of the 12 matches went tothe 18th hole on Sunday. TheAmericans won only one of them.

The Americans also ralliedfrom a four-point deficit to win in1999 at Brookline. This was differ-ent, though. The Americans wonbig in those early matches. AtMedinah, so many of them couldhave gone either way.

It was so close, so tense, that ei-ther side could have won theRyder Cup down to the very end.

Stricker made an 8-foot par putton the 18th, and Kaymer faced apar putt from 6 feet to win thematch. If he missed, the Ameri-cans would get a half-point, andWoods was leading 1-up over Moli-nari and in the middle of the 18thfairway.

Kaymer, a former No. 1 andmajor champion who has strug-gled all year, poured it in the mid-dle and the celebration was on.

He could barely speak at thispoint, not so much from pure emo-

tion but having to scream over thecrowd behind him. Players werehugging and crying, and the smallEuropean contingent that hadbeen drowned out all week wasserenading themselves with whathas become the theme song of theRyder Cup.

“Ole, ole, ole, ole,” they sangmerrily, even as the teams pre-pared for the closing ceremony.

Europe now has won seven ofthe last nine Ryder Cups, andeven more remarkable about thiscomeback is that they did it on theroad.

Davis Love III became the firstU.S. captain to sit every player atleast once before Sunday, wantingthem to be fresh for the decisiveday. Instead, the Americans fal-tered at the end — especially Jim

Furyk and Stricker, two of his cap-tain’s picks.

“The plan worked the first twodays,” he said. “It just didn’t worktoday.”

The only U.S. points came fromDustin Johnson, who went 3-0 inthis Ryder Cup, Zach Johnson andunheralded Jason Dufner.

“We’re all kind of stunned,”Love said. “We know what it feelslike now from the ’99 Ryder Cup.It’s a little bit shocking. We wereplaying so well, we figured it did-n’t matter how we sent them outthere. We got a couple of matchesflipped there in the middle thatcost us.”

Love thought all along theRyder Cup would be decided inthe ninth match by Dufner. It wasmost appropriate that Europewon the cup thanks to Kaymer.

Kaymer gave German golf someredemption from Kiawah Islandin 1991, when countryman Bern-hard Langer missed a par puttfrom about the same length thatallowed the Americans to win.

“It’s a feeling I never had be-fore,” Kaymer said. “On Friday, Isat down with Bernhard andtalked a little bit about the RyderCup because my attitude was notthe right one. But now I know howimportant the Ryder Cup is.”

KEARNS, Utah —Katherine Reutter feelstorn over a coaching scan-dal that has rocked U.S.Speedskating.

Yes, embattled coach JaeSu Chun has called her“fat” and pushed her toskate at times she thoughtwere physically and men-tally impossible.

But the two-time Olympicmedalist says she has notwitnessed the physical abusedescribed in documentsfiled on behalf of a dozennational team members whoseek Chun’s permanent re-moval as a U.S. coach.

“I have been pushed tothe limit and that’s why Ihave medals,” Reutter saidwhile watching the U.S.Single Distance ShortTrack Speedskating Cham-pionships this weekend atthe Utah Olympic Oval.

Reutter, healing after twohip operations earlier thisyear and a bulging disk in

August, doesn’t see any easysolutions.

“One side is going to suf-fer whether Jae Su stays orgoes,” she said of Chun, whohas denied the allegationsand is on administrative leavepending an investigation.

Ten of 12 spots on the fallWorld Cup team will be de-cided when racing is com-plete Sunday, and twodiscretionary picks will bemade next month. As Satur-day’s results indicate, thedozen spots figure to besplit between members ofthe National Racing Pro-gram and the splinter FASTTeam.

JR Celski, who races forthe Fast Team and seeksChun’s dismissal in an arbi-tration hearing scheduledfor Oct. 8, earned the firstspot on the men’s team Sat-urday. Jessica Smith, whocompetes for the NationalRacing Program and issueda statement supportingChun, earned the first spotfor the women.

Reutter could onlywatch and cheer and hastried to remain officiallyneutral as an athlete rep-resentative member of theU.S. Speedskating Boardof Directors.

She says she sees goodand bad points made byboth sides, but fears any-thing she says will be mis-construed. And while shebelieves athletes have theright to file a grievanceagainst U.S. Speedskatingand air complaints, shewon’t back the arbitrationand doesn’t want any of herpast experiences with Chunused to drive it.

Before the arbitrationhearing, a report by an in-dependent law firm hiredby U.S. Speedskating to in-vestigate the abuse chargesagainst Chun is expected tobe finished this week.

He is accused of hittingathletes, throwing things atthem and pushing them toover-train to the point of injury.

Perhaps the most inflam-matory accusation is thathe ordered Simon Cho tosabotage the skate of Cana-dian rival Olivier Jean atthe 2011 World Team Cham-pionships. The allegationwas made in the arbitrationdocuments, but Cho’s attor-ney said his client cooper-ated with the investigationby New York-based lawfirm White & Case.

Derek Parra, a 2002 Olympicgold medalist in the 1,500meters who oversees speed-skating at the Olympicvenue believes some of theissues with Chun, may becultural. Chun hails fromSouth Korea, where a sternapproach is often the norm.

“Maybe the only hard ev-idence will be the skatetampering, and that to mewould sway my decision,”he said. “If that really didhappen, I’d lose a lot of re-spect for both (Chun andCho). ... I don’t want to winlike that. If you do, youshouldn’t be in the sport.”
