The Longs, co-owners ofLong’s Air Conditioning inAvon Park, have been promi-nent in the business commu-nity, both within and outsideof Highlands County.

Humor, by the way, wasvery much in evidence at thepicnic. It began when NancyWeber, a society board mem-ber and co-chairperson ofthe picnic committee, intro-duced Kenny by talkingabout his desire to preservethe history of Avon Park bycollecting artifacts thatsomehow wound up in hisbackyard.

“We got a whole bunchof much-needed rain,”

The storm did offer achance to gear up. “It wasgood practice,” he said.

Robyn Felix, mediarelations manager for theSouthwest Florida WaterManagement District, wasequally up-beat.

AVON PARK —Mosquitoes were on theagenda Monday night asmembers of the city councillistened to complaints abouta possible infestation onTulane Circle near theFlorida Tire Terminal onFaegin Avenue.

Charles Devlin raised theissue with the council, andCity Councilor Terry Heston,

a neighbor of Devlin’s, saidhe had the same problem.

No one from Florida TireTerminal was at the meeting.

As a result of Devlin’soriginal complaint, city man-ager Julian Deleon told thecouncil, the police depart-ment conducted two mosqui-to infestation studies in theneighborhood.

In a memo to Deleon datedAug. 23, APPD CommanderJason Lister reported, “The

results of the study clearlydocumented that there was anincreased amount of mosqui-to activity in the area ofFlorida Tire Terminal onFaegin Avenue.”

The study consisted of fouridentical mosquito collectionappliances, deployed at thesame time at Tulane Circle onthe lake side of the road;Wilhite Street at the intersec-

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

By SAMANTHA [email protected]

SEBRING — EdwinDiaz was a fighter from thevery start, according to hisfriends and family.

And he will get help withthat fight through the sec-ond annual Josh JettonMemorial Golf Tournamentset for Sept. 22.

The local 7-year-old wasborn with a rare conditionknown as megacystismicrocolon intestinalhypoperistalsis syndrome(MMIH), a disease that pre-vents the stomach, intes-tines, kidneys and bladderfrom functioning properly.

In September of 2006, a15-hour surgery gave Diaz,then just 1, eight neworgans.

Since his transplants,Diaz has been hospitalizednumerous times, mainly dueto organ rejections. He washospitalized after a spleenrejection and spent severalmonths in the care of doc-tors and nurses. Diaz wasreleased in January of 2007.

In November 2010, Diazwas put in a medicallyinduced coma by doctors atArnold Palmer in Orlandoand was transported to aMiami hospital after suffer-ing from swine flu. Diaz’sfamily was told that theyoung boy would not makeit, but many prayers and askilled team of doctorsbrought Diaz back; he wasreleased and taken home onChristmas Eve.

Family friend LindaJohnson has become closewith Diaz over the past sixmonths and wants to helpout in anyway possible.

“He’s a good kid. He’ssuch a trooper,” Johnsonsaid.

For nearly two years,Diaz had no complicationsand was enjoying living a

full life. In June, however,things again took a turn forthe worse. Diaz was admit-ted to Arnold Palmer whereit was discovered he hadulcers on his intestines andcolon. The ulcers are usual-ly a sign of organ rejection,according to Diaz’s grand-father.

Diaz has been hospital-ized in Miami for the pasttwo months where he isreceiving anti-rejectiontreatments.

“He is supposed to leavein about 10 days. This, ofcourse, is devastating to hisfamily. Not to mention howthey are hurting financially.Jimmy (Acadedo) supportsthe family, but it’s just tak-ing a toll,” Johnson said.

Diaz is the oldest of threesiblings; his mother Crystalis unable to work becauseof her son’s ailments. Dueto the nature of the financialburden, Diaz and his familyhave been named this year’sbeneficiaries of the secondannual Josh JettonMemorial Golf Tournament.

The tournament wasestablished in honor of PFCJosh Jetton by Jetton’sbrother, Daniel Baker. Thetournament will be heldSept.. 22 at Spring LakeGolf Resort. Tee-off is at8:30 a.m.

PENSACOLA (AP) — Authorities areinvestigating after finding human brains,hearts and lungs in a Pensacola storage unitthey say belonged to a former medical exam-iner.

Someone bought the storage unit at an auc-tion last week and noticed a foul smell as theywere sifting through furniture and boxes.

Officials at the medical examiner’s officein Pensacola say the remains of more than

100 people were found crudely stored inTupperware containers, garbage bags anddrink cups. Many of the remains were notidentified.

Pensacola medical examiner director JeffMartin said the unit belonged to Dr. MichaelBerkland. Berkland worked at the medicalexaminer’s office from 1997 until 2003 whenhe was fired for not completing autopsyreports.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) —The state’s price gouginghotline has been lighting upin the wake of TropicalStorm Isaac. By Tuesdaymorning, Florida AttorneyGeneral’s Office hadreceived 53 complaints.

Spokesman John Lucassays many of the complaintshave to do with gasolineprices. Florida prohibits ven-dors from grossly exceedingthe average price of a com-modity during a state ofemergency unless the sellercan justify the cost. Violatorsface civil penalties up to$1,000 per violation and upto $25,000 for multiple vio-lations in a 24-hour period.

Suspected price gougingcan be reported to the state’shotline at 866-966-7226.

WASHINGTON (AP) —The average gas mileage ofnew cars and trucks willhave to nearly double by2025 under regulations thatwere finalized Tuesday bythe Obama administration.

The new rules wouldrequire the fleet of newcars and trucks to average54.5 miles per gallon in 13years, up from 28.6 mpg atthe end of last year.

The regulations willchange the cars and trucksin U.S. showrooms anddrive automakers to intro-duce new technology tomake vehicles cleaner andmore efficient.

The administration saysthe regulations will savefamilies more than $1.7trillion in fuel costs andbring an average savings of$8,000 over the lifetime ofa new vehicle sold in 2025.

The standards also willhalve the greenhouse gaspollution coming from carsand light truck tailpipes by2025, the White Housesaid in a statement.

President Obama said ina statement that the newfuel standards “representthe single most importantstep” his administrationhas taken to reduce U.S.dependence on foreign oil.

“This historic agreementbuilds on the progresswe’ve already made tosave families money at thepump and cut our oil con-sumption,” he said.

Republican presidentialcandidate Mitt Romney hasopposed the standards, andhis campaign on Tuesdaycalled them extreme andsaid they would drive upthe price of new cars.

Any savings at the pumpwould be wiped out by ris-ing costs of cars, the cam-paign said. By 2025, somebigger models may disap-pear, and dealers couldoffer more efficient gas-electric hybrids, naturalgas vehicles and electriccars. There also will besmaller motors and lighterbodies.

Contempt shown for womenand health care choices

Editor:I must admit that I am very puzzled

by all the outrage on the Teapublicanside at Congressman, Todd Akin’sremarks about “legitimate rape” and“when a woman is raped, her bodyshuts down and she doesn’t get preg-nant.”

After all, six-term CongressmanAkin and his BBF, Paul Ryan, plus amajority of conservatives have advocat-ed these views over many years.

This contempt for women and theirhealth care choices is also held by TomRooney, Connie Mack, Gov. Scott, andthe religious right. In their eyes,women are second class citizens wholie about being raped just so they canget an abortion.

Mr. Akin showed the rest of us whatconservatives really believe. Now thesesame conservatives are furious withhim for “letting the cat out of the bag”.They are scrambling to pretend theydon’t hold these and other extremeviews. (Wonder when they’ll decide totake away a woman’s right to vote?)

Back to school food choices

Editor:With the new school year just around

the corner, parents’ attention is turningto school clothes, supplies, and lunch-es. Yes, school lunches.

Traditionally, USDA had used theNational School Lunch Program as adumping ground for surplus meat anddairy commodities. Not surprisingly, itsown surveys indicate that children con-sume excessive amounts of animal fatand sugary drinks, to the point whereone-third have become overweight orobese. Their early dietary flaws becomelifelong addictions, raising their risk ofdiabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Gradually, the tide is turning. Thenew USDA school lunch guidelines,mandated by President Obama’sHealthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, requiredoubling the servings of fruits and veg-etables, more whole grains, less sodiumand fat, and no meat for breakfast. Still,food lobbyists have prevailed onCongress to count pizza and French

fries as vegetables, and fatty mysterymeats and sugary dairy drinks abound.

Parents and students should considerhealthy school lunch as a work inprogress and insist on healthful plant-based school meals, snacks, and vend-ing machine items. Guidance is avail-able at www.fns.usda.gov/cnd,www.healthyschoollunches.org, andwww.vrg.org/family.

Paul is still the best choice

Editor:As an aside to the developer’s plans

for Swamp Hammock. Watch yourselfif you are a registered Republican look-ing at folks like Pigman, Rooney andtheir ilk. They are seemingly innocuouscitizens who love to lay claim to beingveterans and being conservatives.

True conservatives want to conservethings as the way they currently exist.Radical neo-conservatives and tools ofprofit like Pigman and Rooney arepawns hoping to be set in place(Rooney far along the way already) togrease the skids for developers toswoop in and change the face of thisregion forever. Both are agents of themilitary-industrial complex who musthave total permanent war to reap bil-lions of dollars in war-profiteering.(No one but Ron Paul sought to educateus about this.)

Pigman is in the pocket of landdevelopers and speculators hoping toincrementally black top HighlandsCounty and eventually increase thepresence of weapons manufacturersthroughout the area. Rooney has servedtwo terms in the U.S. House and hasstarted to feel his oats in voicingextremist goals of destruction of civi-lization. Rooney is so extreme that hebans his own constituents from exercis-ing free speech on his Facebook pagewhen they provide balanced and factualopposition to his constant lies.

I have no defense for PresidentObama. He is not a Muslim, not aMarxist (nor even a liberal) and he wasborn in the U.S. However, he squan-dered his opportunity to fix the chaoscreated byBush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice.

If you vote for Romney, however,you are putting your stamp of approval

on the entire workforce of this countrybeing either outsourced or indenturedservitude. No hatred of Obama, forwhatever reason, is worth pulling theplug on this country. And, the HolyGreed and Profit gods that have takenhostage the Republican Party will even-tually come for your job, pension, busi-ness, sons, also.

In spite of my unwavering belief thatwe need government to protect us fromthe powerful, Ron Paul is the onlytruth-teller in this election. If all of thepeople who say they would vote forPaul but are afraid that will makeObamNey the president would just votefor Paul, he might win. Or, at least hisopposition to the military-industrialcomplex might catch on stronger. Thatwe American people fight each otherover whether we should educate all ofour children and heal all of our illnessis immoral when so very few questionthe trillions spent every year on uselessinstruments of mechanized death.

Kowalski will be missed incommunity

Editor:For more than 20 years, I enjoyed a

friendship with Ruth and HankKowalski. Ruth called me daily to seeif I was OK. Ruth would call me on mybirthday and sing with that beautifulvoice. In the middle of March, Ruthdidn’t call as much. I’d call her and shesaid she was tired. Then on March 28,she was hospitalized. After that, shewas in rehab off and on.

When her husband called and saidRuth went to God, it was almostexpected, but heartbreaking.

Ruth bragged about Hank’s cooking;the fact that he put handles on the wallsso she could walk holding on. Hewould surprise her with her favoritemeal from a restaurant. She loved herre-designed bathroom.

When we would talk on the phone,she would say “Oh! There is a hum-mingbird by the window” or somebeloved bird.

Thank you Ruth for being you. Iknow you are singing for God.

Don’t put the generatorback in storage, though, oruse the emergency gas for thelawn mower, or eat up all thecanned ravioli. It isn’t time toget back to business as usualyet.

The hurricane season isstill in full swing.

We might have been sparedIssac, but there is already anew tropical wave rolling offthe Cape Verde Islands —which is another way of say-ing, as they do on late nightinformercials, “Wait! There’smore!”

In fact, we face the stormi-est time of the hurricane sea-son as the warm Gulf andCaribbean waters provide

fuel for the waves of tropicalenergy coming out of northAfrica.

We must remain alert, likea school of mullet, ready todive for safety when dangerdraws near.

Of course, it helps to keepthings in perspective; to pre-pare calmly and marvel atnature’s raw power.

Actually, when you thinkabout it, hurricanes are awe-some things, and quite beau-tiful when seen from above,even though they are not sopretty when seen from belowas you watch a piece ofsomebody’s roof roll downthe street.

It is amazing how manyvariables there are when itcomes to hurricane making.How many different compo-nents, complications andconditions are involved — somany sometimes that no twocomputers can agree on atrack. Many hurricanes con-

found expectations, veeringin different directions at thelast moment before landfall.

Remember, it was just afew days ago that most of themodels had Isaac runningright over our heads beforethe track shifted west.

It is fascinating how littlethings combine to becomebig things and how every-thing is interconnected: Thewater temperature in thePacific Ocean, for example,having an affect on theatmosphere over the Atlanticand on whether or not a hur-ricane will spin into being.

Now, we at the News-Sunknow it is one thing to “ohh”and “ahh” over a satelliteimage, another thing entirelyto brace a door with yourshoulder against a 100 mphwind.

Which is why we soundthis warning: Don’t get com-placent. Remain prepared.

We dodged this bullet,but the gun is still loaded

We dodgedthe bulletthat was

tropical stormIssac. For this, wegive thanks.

I sometimes have a ten-dency to put things in abox or a canvas bag withthe intentions of “gettingto it” at a later date. I’vealready dealt with all ofthe photos that I hadstashed away in boxes,though I will confess andsay they have yet to findtheir way into photoalbums. I’ll get to that onanother rainy day.

This past weekend Ipicked up a canvas bag fullof papers and began sort-ing through them one byone, determining whichones to keep and whichones to trash.Unfortunately, I foundmore for the keep pile thanfor the trash pile.

There were report cardsand class schedules thatneed to be put in the chil-dren’s books. There werepictures that they haddrawn for me when theywere much, much younger.There were also greetingcards that had been givenby the children to me forpast Mother’s Days,Christmases and birthdays.There were also cards fromloved ones I had beenkeeping for them. Therewere Christmas cardsdrawn by a special friendof mine who designs herown cards each year.

Daniel's Red RibbonWeek pledge to stay drugfree was in the stack, aswell as one of Briana'swriting assignments. Therewere ticket stubs to planerides we had taken toIllinois, as well as concertticket stubs.

Then there were what Iconsider the real treasures– notes that the childrenhad written to me or noteswe had written back andforth during church servic-es. Each one tells a story –a part of our history.

I haven’t seen either ofthe kids write a note thatincludes that old phrase,check yes or no. But then Ireally shouldn’t expect tofind one of those. Thosetypes of notes are usuallymeant for a friend or some-one they are crushing on.

I did find notes, howev-er, that asked for forgive-

ness and for me to write aresponse on the bottom. Ididn’t find any responsesbut I remember plenty ofconversations that my chil-dren and I have had. Manyconversations as a family,just the three of us, andsometimes just a one-on-one conversation witheither one of them. We talka lot in our family andalways have. I hope thathelps us stay close as thechildren get older andbecome their own. So far ithas.

I also found notes askingfor a better explanation orfurther discussing a partic-ular Bible verse. Therewere also notes that startedoff with telling one or theother to be quiet and payattention, or to stop pester-ing the other. Some of thenotes were simply put “Ilove you Mom.”

Why I have held on toall of the notes I don’tknow. I will say that myBible is still full of notesand pictures, as well aschurch bulletins. Some ofthe notes that the childrenhave written I refuse totake out of my Bibleregardless of when theywere written. I like to bereminded of their youngerdays of innocence.

There always seems tobe so much to learn fromour children. Sometimes Iwish I could do it all againjust to make sure I didn’tmiss a thing. I guess that’sa good sign that my chil-dren are getting older andsome day in the not so dis-tant future I’ll face theempty nest. I hope I’ll beready.

LOS ANGELES — NeilArmstrong inspired millionswith his moonwalk. Can afeisty robotic rover explor-ing Mars do the same foranother generation? Withmanned missions beyond theInternational Space Stationon hold, the spotlight hasturned on machines.

While it did not rise toArmstrong’s “one small stepfor man, one giant leap formankind,” interest was sohigh in the rover Curiosity’s“seven minutes of terror”approach to the red planetearlier this month thatNASA’s website crashedafter receiving nearly 2 bil-lion hits. The rover last weekbeamed home photographsof its first wheel tracks onthe Martian soil since itsdaredevil landing

“There’s something excit-ing about reaching anotherplace in the solar system. Ifyou think about the kind ofinterest the landing ofCuriosity had, you get asense of that,” saidSmithsonian Institutionspace curator Roger Launius.It wasn’t on the same levelas Armstrong’s feat, “but itwas pretty darn exciting,” hesaid.

When Armstrong, then fel-low astronaut Buzz Aldrin,stepped on the moon on July20, 1969, an estimated 600million people watched andlistened. “Virtually the entireworld took that memorablejourney with us,” recalledBuzz Aldrin afterArmstrong’s death Saturday.

Early in the Space Age,the Mercury, Gemini andApollo astronauts were thepublic face of NASA’s spaceendeavor while the

unmanned lunar missionsthat paved the way were inthe shadows. The publiccraved adventure and themanned missions delivered.Aiming for the moon wasnew and exciting — not tomention dangerous — andthe U.S. was locked in aCold War space race withthe Soviets.

Next, the space shuttleferried a new crop of astro-nauts to low-Earth orbit, butafter three decades of serv-ice, it became routine. Andthe Cold War thawed withthe Russians and Americanscooperating on the Russianspace station Mir and theInternational Space Station.

With the space shuttlefleet retired, the space sta-tion is all that’s left. Itscrew of six for the most partquietly goes about doing itsjob about 250 miles abovethe Earth. President BarackObama nixed plans for

returning astronauts to themoon in favor of landing onan asteroid and eventuallyMars.

These days, space explo-ration is carried out byrobotic spacecraft — com-manded by human handlerson Earth. Advances in tech-nology have allowedunmanned spacecraft to gofarther and peer deeper, withcraft circling Mercury,Saturn, asteroid Vesta andothers headed for Jupiter anddwarf planet Pluto. The twinVoyager craft are still goingstrong at the fringes of thesolar system 35 years aftertheir launch in 1977.

American University

space policy analyst HowardMcCurdy said today’s gener-ation of explorers was raisedon technology and tends toget more jazzed about deliv-ering a car-size rover toMars.

“Robotic exploration hastaken more of a centerstage,” he said. “It gets morepublicity now than theInternational Space Station.”

When the first Mars roverSojourner landed in 1997,science fiction writer ArthurC. Clarke rephrasedArmstrong’s famous line andsaid the event was “onesmall step for the rover.”

Three other rovers havefollowed including Curiosity,

which landed Aug. 5 by exe-cuting an intricate routinethat ended with it being low-ered by cables to the surface.Curiosity’s acrobatics provedso popular that its Twitterfollowers surged from120,000 the eve of landingto more than a million (thetweets are being written bythe public affairs office atthe NASA Jet PropulsionLaboratory, which managesthe $2.5 billion mission.)

Curiosity chief scientistJohn Grotzinger saidMonday the wheel prints onMars may turn out to be aniconic image just like thosefirst boot prints on the lunarsurface.

“Instead of a human, it’s arobot pretty much doing thesame thing,” he said.

Henry Lambright, a pro-fessor of public policy andspace scholar at SyracuseUniversity, said whileCuriosity is inspiring, the

world still needs to sendhumans beyond low-Earthorbit.

“It can’t inspire to thedegree that Apollo didbecause a robot can’t inspirethe way a man can,”Lambright said.

On Monday, NASA playeda recording fromAdministrator CharlesBolden that had been sent upto the rover on Mars andrelayed back to Earth. In it,he thanked scientists andengineers for their achieve-ment.

David Lavery of NASAheadquarters said the hope isthat someone will beinspired by Bolden’s mes-sage and become the firsthuman to stand on Mars.

“Like the great NeilArmstrong, they’ll be able tospeak aloud — the first per-son at that point, of the nextgiant leap in human explo-ration,” he said.

Can Curiosity mission inspire like Apollo?‘One small step’ vs. ‘seven minutes of terror’

MCTThe NASA website crashed after getting nearly 2 billion hits as the Curiosity rover landed on Mars (left) earlier this month, as opposed to 600 million peo-ple watching the moon landing in 1969 (right). But the rover’s trip to the red planet isn’t nearly as culturally significant as the moon landings.

tion of South Faegin Avenue;West Bell Street near the rail-road crossing; and the policedepartment.

Lister says code enforce-ment visits were made to thetire terminal site and the find-ings discussed.

“Staff at Florida TireTerminal was able to producerecords which showed rou-tine spraying of the outdoortires,” Lister told Deleon.

It is the usefulness of thesource control applied byFlorida Tire Terminal that ispart of the problem, Devlinand Heston said Monday.

Deleon explained that thecity has a mosquito foggingprogram. The insecticide iscontact control system,meaning mosquitoes arekilled when they fly into thefog. The application, howev-er, has no effect on larvae instanding water. Killing larvaerequires source control.

“The problem with thespraying,” Heston said, “isthat the tires are stacked uphigh, two stories in places.”No one can get high enoughup in the air, he said, to getthe chemical spray inside thecolumn of tires to the stand-ing water.

There were also concernsover the long term conse-quences of spraying chemi-cals. Would it affect theground water?

The men who do the spray-ing wear “those all whitesuits that are completelyenclosed,” Devlin said. “Thatcan’t be good.”

Devlin told the council that“Florida Tire Terminal is areputable business. We wantthem to stay in the communi-ty.” At the same time, thecompany has grown andexpanded. It now has tens ofthousands of tires on its prop-erty, he said. The business islonger a good fit in the other-wise residential neighbor-hood.

Mosquitoes are the majorhealth hazard concern,Devlin said, but added he hadother concerns as well. Noise

early Saturday morning, forexample; using FaeginAvenue as an extension of thecompany’s work yard; andsemi trucks running over pri-vate yards.

Devlin asked if the cityhad more suited industrialproperty available it couldoffer in trade to the company— maybe something out bythe airport.

City attorney Gerald Buhrwarned the council that inorder to take any action, codeenforcement would have toprovide definitive evidenceFlorida Tire Terminal was thesource of the increased mos-quito problem in TulaneCircle area, which wouldn’tnecessarily be easy to prove.

He said the Department ofEnvironmental Protection

already regulates mosquitoinfestation issues, like howhigh tires may be stacked.

Then he stopped the dis-cussion. “I’m uncomfortabletalking too much about this,because they’re not here todefend themselves,” Buhrsaid.

Another study will be donein the near future. “If the datacollected is consistent withthe previous data, codeenforcement will start thecompliance process by utiliz-ing City of Avon ParkNuisance Ordinance 15-11,”Lister said.

The News-Sun was told onTuesday morning by FloridaTire Terminal staff thatowner Bob Reisig is out oftown until Monday andunavailable for comment.

OMAHA, Neb. — Theremnants of Tropical StormIsaac could bring welcomerain to some states in theMississippi River valley thisweek, but experts say it’sunlikely to break the droughtgripping the Midwest.

Along with the deluge ofrain expected along the GulfCoast when Isaac makeslandfall, the NationalWeather Service predicts 2 to6 inches of rain will fall ineastern Arkansas, southeastMissouri and southernIllinois.

Those areas are amongthose hard hit by the droughtthat stretches from the WestCoast east into Kentucky andOhio, with pockets inGeorgia and Alabama. Therain that falls inland likelywill ease but not eliminatedrought, because those areasare so dry, said MarkSvoboda, a climatologistwith the National DroughtMitigation Center.

Arkansas rancher DonRodgers said his area is short17 inches of rain this year. Hesaid even a couple of inchesfrom Isaac would make a sig-nificant difference becausehe would have water for hiscattle and might be able togrow some forage for thiswinter.

“I’m very sorry for thepeople in the path of this hur-ricane. I’m just praying wecan get some of the benefitfrom it up here,” saidRodgers, who has cattle inCrawford County, a ruralarea near the Oklahoma bor-der.

Heavy rains, especially ifit pushes into the OhioValley, would provide somerelief for the low-water con-ditions that have hamperedMississippi River traffic forweeks, said National WeatherService hydrologist MartyPope.

“If that happens, it wouldhelp us out quite a bit,” Popesaid.

Pope said any rise in theriver would help clearclogged shipping channels,which have caused temporaryclosures in recent weeks. Thelow levels have promptedcompanies to reduce loads onbarges carrying goods rang-ing from grain to gasoline,which can mean big lossesfor shippers.

Isaac has been gainingstrength and could become aCategory I hurricane beforeits expected landfall Tuesdayor Wednesday. The storm’s

path may change before itreaches land, but the droughtis so widespread that the rainis certain to be welcomed bythose in any area that get it.

More than half of all U.S.counties have been identifiedas natural disaster areas thissummer, mostly because ofdrought. Conditions are espe-cially bad in the corn belt.Nearly all of Nebraska,Illinois, Kansas, Missouriand more than two-thirds ofIowa are in the worst twostages of drought.

But Svoboda said a highpressure system over theGreat Plains this week willkeep Isaac’s moisture fromreaching much of that area.And Iowa may be too farnorth to see significant rain-fall since the storm will havedropped much of the mois-ture it picked up in the Gulfby the time it hits there.

Farmers have been hopingfor rain all summer, asdrought damaged corn, soy-beans and other crops.

But Missouri farmer WillSpargo said Isaac is arrivingtoo late in the season to helpmuch. The rain could evenslow the corn harvest if fieldsbecome too muddy to supportcombines and grain trucks.

“We’ve gone months andmonths without rain, and nowhere it is at harvest that we’regetting rain,” said Spargo,who grows corn, soybeansand rice near Neelyville, Mo.

But farmers and ranchersin the path of the storm stillwere looking forward to therain because anything thatimproves soil moisture willhelp them next year.

Flooding can be a concernanytime too much rain fallsquickly in an area, but offi-cials in Arkansas andMissouri said they weren’ttoo concerned because theground is so dry that it shouldbe able to absorb the rain.And streams and lakes in the

area should be able to handlerunoff because they’re solow.

With as dry as this yearhas been, many people wouldprobably welcome the mois-ture even if it is accompaniedby some flooding, Arkansasclimatologist MichaelBorengasser said.

“We’ll take all of it we canget,” Borengasser said.

WASHINGTON — AsHurricane Isaac bears downon the Gulf Coast, thereshould be plenty of money— some $1.5 billion — infederal disaster aid coffers,thanks, in part, to a new sys-tem that budgets help forvictims of hurricanes, torna-does and floods before theyoccur.

It’s a system that PaulRyan, the Republican nomi-nee-to-be for vice president,had hoped to scrap as a wayto make his House GOPbudget look smaller byabout $10 billion a year.Politely, party elders toldhim no way, at least for now.

The Obama administra-tion was the driving forcebehind the new disasterfunding scheme and made itpart of last summer’s hard-fought budget pact, eventhough President BarackObama himself had givenshort shrift to budgeting fordisasters prior to a spate ofthem early last year, includ-ing tornadoes that rippedthrough Missouri andAlabama.

Congresses and adminis-trations, after all, alwayshad been fairly forthcomingwith whatever disaster aidwas needed after the fact.

The new system meansdisaster aid will not have tocompete with other pro-grams for financing, norhave to rely on less certainad hoc funding at the heightof a crisis.

Instead, disaster moneywas added on top of the offi-cial budget “cap” in linewith the amounts budgetedin prior years.

It had been a differentstory earlier in the year asthe government’s chief dis-aster fund almost ran dry,thanks to foot-dragging bythe White House and

demands by tea party HouseRepublicans that disaster aidbe partly “paid for” withcuts to programs that Obamafavored. The administrationinstead let the political pres-sure build as disasteraccounts dwindled, sparkingthe ire of both his GOPrivals and allies like Sen.Mary Landrieu, D-La., butturning the tables in itsfavor.

Months after agreeing tothe new regime, Republicanleaders still had to turn toprocedural maneuvers toorchestrate passage of $8.8billion in disaster money inkeeping with the agreement.Ryan, the House BudgetCommittee’s chairman, wasamong 66 Republicansopposing the measure.

But, as has been proventime after time — especiallyas tornadoes and hurricanesrip through politically con-servative states — even thesturdiest tea party support-ers like the governmentwhen it comes to doling outmoney to storm victims formotels and other temporaryhousing and to help withhouse repairs.

Simply put, when disasterstrikes, politicians respond— sometimes to the dismay

of conservatives who seepoliticians milking disastersto win projects that couldn’tfly on their own, likeMississippi Republican Sen.Thad Cochran’s failed bidsix years ago for $700 mil-lion to relocate a rail linealong the Gulf Coast so hisstate could build a new east-west highway.

The new system makes itmore difficult for lawmakersto try such maneuvers,though such “pork barrel”tactics largely have beenhalted anyway with the GOPtakeover of the House, withRepublicans instituting aban on so-called earmarks.

Many House Republicans,however, are unhappy withthe new approach. Ryan ear-lier this year tried to gut itand eliminate $10 billion ayear in disaster costs whenputting together the HouseGOP budget.

But in doing so Ryan side-swiped a still-powerfulAppropriations Committeethat was still stinging from$19 billion in BudgetCommittee-induced cuts tolast year’s deal.Appropriations CommitteeChairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., protested to GOP lead-ers and won a gentleman’sagreement that the new sys-tem would stay in place, atleast for this year.

However, Ryan’s point ofview might still prevail ifMitt Romney defeats Obamain November.

What Ryan proposes isthat when disaster strikes,lawmakers scour the rest ofthe budget for savings to payfor rebuilding homes, roadsand schools and helpingsmall businesses. Put anoth-er way, instead of being anexcuse to increase spending,disasters would offer anopportunity to make furthercuts elsewhere in the gov-ernment.

“I’m sure,” said Weber,“if we ever get in a situa-tion where we might loseour Depot Museum train,Kenny would figure out away to move the car over tohis backyard.”

When Freda spoke, sherecalled her Oklahomaupbringing, including howthe girls there wore Levisand cowboy boots to school– but once she and her fam-ily moved to Florida in1957, they had to weardresses.

She also recalled meetingKenny Long once shearrived in Florida.

“I thought,” she said,“that if that’s the bestFlorida has to offer, Godmust have a sense ofhumor.”

When Kenny, wearing hisAPHS jacket, took themicrophone, he started bysinging the country song“He’ll Have To Go,” a ref-erence to Freda, who wasalready dating another boy.“She wouldn’t let me kissher, even after two dates,but finally she did and thatwas the beginning of ourrelationship.”

Kenny, who came toAvon Park in 1946 with his

family, then spoke about hisyouth in a talk punctuatedby whoops and hollers andbursts of laughter – and avariety of hats and jacketsas props.

“I loved the Avon Parkcircus program,” he said. “Iperformed on the flyingrings. It was a big thing forthe community. It finallygot too big for the gym andwe went to the football fieldand we performed in othertowns.

“Everybody supported it.People from Barnum andBailey came over to helptrain us. I missed one per-formance because I wentinto the Marines.”

While in the Marines, hewas stationed at Parris

Island, N.C., and became atank commander for awhile. He also went intoboxing. Then, because hehad taken typing in highschool, he became adminis-trative chief of his unit.

Following his discharge,he and Freda (the two mar-ried after he had served oneyear in the military)returned to Avon Park.

A business pioneer

“I had a plan,” saidKenny, “and it worked out.I became a pioneer in theresidential air conditioningbusiness in Florida; andlater, I became a pioneer inthe home generator busi-ness.”

One of the most repeatedstories about Kenny has todo with his career in flying.Once he had returned toAvon Park after his tour ofduty in the Marines, Stanleyand Kenny Wells, of WellsMotor Co., who were build-ing a helicopter, got himinterested in flying and hebegan taking flying lessons,he said.

“I was still a studentpilot, and one day I was fly-ing to Tampa to PeterO’Knight Airport. It wasfoggy, so when I saw thisairport, I landed.

“I was surrounded byMPs and they all had theirrifles pointed at me.

“I had landed at MacDillAir Force Base.

“I was harassed for thatincident for over 40 years.”

The Longs say they wereboth surprised at beingnamed Pioneers of the Year.As Freda put it, “I’m tooyoung.”

That’s how Kenny felt,until it dawned on him thathe had become a pioneer inthe business world, withAvon Park the center of thatworld.

But, he says, giving cred-it where credit is due,“Without Freda, I wouldn’tbe here today. She keeps meunder control.”

AVON PARK – Some of the tables atSaturday’s Sixth Annual Avon ParkPioneer Homecoming Picnic, spon-sored by the Historical Society of AvonPark, were populated by a number ofAvon Park High School graduatingclasses; others, by Avon Park families;and still others, by folks just beingchummy.

At one table sat Paul Bigbie, LaverneHill, Mary Lou Stewart and FerlandCribb. They pretty much represented allthe attendees.

Bigbie, Class of ’54, said this was hissecond picnic. For Hill, Class of ’56, itwas her very first. And Stewart, Classof ‘56, and Cribb, Class of ’55, bothpointed out they had missed only one

picnic since it began. (But for therecord, you did not have to be an AvonPark High School graduate to attend thepicnic. The event was open to the pub-lic.)

After some serious visits to the foodtables (with much of the food carried infrom the parking lot to the CommunityCenter by local Boy Scouts), the fourgot down to some serious reminiscing.What kinds of memories were they

sharing? Mainly school events, theysaid, especially those circus years dur-ing the 1950s.

And comparing themselves totoday’s generation of youngsters, theyall agreed they were more like familyback then. “We had more school spirit.”

According to picnic committee chair-person Jean Jordan, “We had a goodcrowd, even in the face of an approach-ing hurricane.”

NEW YORK (AP) —Americans are feeling worseabout the economy than theyhave in a long time.

Despite an improving U.S.job and housing markets,consumer confidence fell tothe lowest level it’s beensince November 2011. Theresults are the latest swing inthe index, which has been ona rollercoaster.

This year, the indexdeclined in January, rose inFebruary and then postedfour months of declinesbefore registering an increasein July.

August’s reading indicatesthat the gains in the job andhousing markets aren’t bigenough to put to restAmericans’ economic fears,which could have an impact

on how they vote inNovember’s presidentialelection.

Home prices rose in Junefrom the same month lastyear, the first year-over-yearincrease since the summer of2010, according to TheStandard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index thatwas released Tuesday.Additionally, all 20 citiestracked by the index rose inJune from May, the secondconsecutive time in whichevery city posted month-over-month gains.

Employers added 163,000jobs in July, the most sinceFebruary. Job gains averaged73,000 jobs a month fromApril through June. But that’snot enough to keep up with arising population.

Americans’ confidencefalls off in August

Dear Abby: I am a con-fused transwoman. I havebeen in a committed rela-tionship for years with awoman who knew mebefore “the change.” I havelied to myself for a longtime about what gender Ihave been attracted to, andnow it’s coming back tohaunt me.

As I have gone throughseveral years changing, myconfidence and emotionaldepth have grown. I suc-cessfully transitioned twoyears ago, and live andwork as a woman. Thismeans when I go to clubsand bars with other girl-friends, I attract maleattention in a positive way.(I’m attractive and passwell.)

The problem is, myattraction to women is fad-ing and men are now muchmore appealing. My pulseraces at the idea of spend-ing time in the company ofmen, but no longer withwomen, who are now morelike sisters than anythingelse.

My relationship with mycurrent female spouse hasbecome that of a house-mate or female familymember. She was there forme during my changes, andnow I feel I am evolvingaway from her. This upsetsme, and I know it upsetsher because we have talkedabout the possibility thatthis might occur. Now I’mworried about breaking herheart, but feel if I don’tmove on, I will have cheat-ed myself out of living.

What should I do?Should I swallow my feel-ings and stay with her, oradmit that in order to feellike a heterosexual womanI must leave and be in arelationship with a man?Help!

– Lost AngelDear Lost: I discussed

your letter with DeniseLeclair, the executivedirector of the InternationalFoundation for GenderEducation (IFGE), whotells me that what you’reexperiencing is not unusu-al. Transgender people canbe so consumed with gen-der issues that they aresometimes unfocused onwhom they are reallyattracted to.

While I can’t make thisdecision for you, you canget some helpful inputfrom IFGE. Founded in1987, it offers support andeducational services forand about gender-variantpersons – including refer-rals to medical and psycho-logical professionals. Youcan email IFGE [email protected].

Dear Abby: Thanks forthe wonderful letters and

sage advice over the years.I can’t tell you how manycolumns I have clipped andshared.

Some years ago when Iwas teaching inMassachusetts, a dearfriend, Pat, told me aboutsomething she did thatimpressed me. Every yearon her birthday, she sentflowers to her parents witha note thanking them fortheir love and support. Iadopted her idea.

We have a Mother’s Dayand a Father’s Day, butisn’t Pat’s idea wonderful?Many parents would bethrilled to receive flowersfrom their child on his orher birthday, especiallywhen a note accompaniesthe bouquet.

After all, the parentsgave the children life andnurturing. It seems onlyright that children shouldshow their appreciation atthat special time. Pleaseshare this idea with yourreaders.

– Former Teacher inAthens, Ga.

Dear Teacher: Thankyou for sharing yourfriend’s tradition. It’s notthe first time I’ve heardthis, but I’m pleased toshare her terrific idea withthose who are receptive.

P.S. If flowers aren’t inthe budget, a handwrittennote of appreciation costsnothing and would betreasured for a lifetime.

Transgender womanmust deal with new,unforeseen change

Bok choy, kale, cabbage,cauliflower, brussels sproutsand broccoli. What do allthese things have in com-mon? (Besides starting withb’s or a hard c sound.)These superheroes of theplant world are all crucifer-ous vegetables and weshould be eating lots of serv-ings of them each weekbecause of how importantthey are to our health.

See, the cruciferous veg-etables (the cabbage family)are full of fiber, minerals,vitamins and phytochemi-cals. They’re also knownfor their ability to protectagainst cardiovascular dis-ease and for being one of ourbest lines of defense againstcertain types of cancer.

There’s magic inside cru-ciferous vegetables thatmight actually stop cancercells in the breast, lung,colon, liver, uterine liningand cervix from growing intotumors. Diets high in crucif-erous vegetables have alsobeen linked to low rates ofprostate cancer.

Scientists have found thatthe sulforaphane found in

cruciferous veggies can actu-ally stimulate enzymes thatdetoxify carcinogens beforehealthy cells are damaged.

Another way these super-hero veggies can help protectus against cancer is byreducing the amount ofoxidative stress in our bodieswhich is caused by an abun-dance of bad moleculescalled oxygen-freeradicals. When oxidativestress is reduced in our bod-ies, it may also reduceour risk of many cancersincluding breast, lung and

colon.This is worth eating your

broccoli and brussels sproutsfor, people.

Seriously.Besides preventing can-

cers and cardiovascular dis-ease, cruciferous veggies canalso reduce our risk of type2 diabetes.

Per serving, some of theseveggies have more mineralsand vitamins than others, butthey’re good for you acrossthe board. Cauliflower andbroccoli will get you thebiggest fiber bang for yourbuck, while kale gives youmore than 137 percent ofyour daily recommendeddose of Vitamin A. Broccoliand brussels sprouts areVitamin C powerhousesand they’re also super highin folic acid.

To get the absolute bestbenefit out of these veggies,eat them raw or lightlysteamed so you don’t cookall the goodness out of them.They also taste better beforethey get to the “inediblemush stage.”

Get more cruciferous veg-gies into your daily diet by

tossing them into soups,stews, salads and casseroles.If your kids won’t eat them,cook them and blend theminto pizza sauce, pasta sauceor anything else they’ll eatfor you.

But don’t give up. Yourjob as a parent is to trainyour kids to eat thosehealthy foods.

Getting used to thestrong taste of cruciferousveggies takes time so keepthat in mind when you thinkyour only option is to hidethe healthy stuff.

Keep on introducing thebrussels sprouts and cauli-flower and be like Churchill;never, never, never give up.

What’s your favorite wayto get cruciferous veggiesinto your family members?

By DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood may haverun out of summer hits, but an anti-Obama docu-mentary is helping to fill the gap.

Holdover movies easily topped the weekend boxoffice again, led by Sylvester Stallone’s “TheExpendables 2” at No. 1 for the second-straightweekend with $13.5 million.

The weekend’s new wide releases were over-shadowed by “2016: Obama’s America,” whichexpanded from limited to nationwide release andtook in $6.2 million to finish at No. 8.

The documentary is a conservative critique ofwhat the country would look like four years fromnow if President Barack Obama is re-elected.

Released by Rocky Mountain Pictures,“Obama’s America” nearly matched the $6.3 mil-lion debut of the No. 7 movie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s action tale “Premium Rush,” a Sonyrelease that played in more than twice as many the-aters as the Obama documentary.

The weekend’s other new wide releases openedweakly. Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell’s road-chasecomedy “Hit & Run,” released by Open RoadFilms, debuted at No. 10 with $4.7 million, and theWarner Bros. fright flick “The Apparition” openedat No. 12 with $3 million.

The weak openings are typical of late August, adumping ground for movies without much audi-ence appeal as the summer blockbuster seasonwinds down and young viewers switch to back-to-school mode.

But with less competition from Hollywoodreleases, it also opens the door for surprise suc-cesses such as “Obama’s America.”

“It’s extremely rare for a documentary to breakinto the top-10, but August can be a land of oppor-tunity for smaller films,” said Paul Dergarabedian,box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “Also,there’s the fact that this is a very conservative film.Normally, it’s Michael Moore-branded documen-taries, the liberal documentaries that make all themoney.”

“Obama’s America” opened in a handful of the-aters in mid-July and did strong business as it grad-ually widened to more cities. It jumped into thetop-10 this weekend as it expanded into 1,091 the-aters, leading all other wide releases with an aver-age of $5,717 a cinema.

That’s a solid average, especially for a politicaldocumentary. But it pales next to the king of polit-ical documentaries, Moore’s George W. Bushassault “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which opened at No. 1with $23.9 million in June 2004, averaging$27,558 in 868 theaters. “Fahrenheit 9/11” went onto become the top-grossing documentary ever with$119.1 million domestically.

“Obama’s America” is based on the book “TheRoots of Obama’s Rage,” written by DineshD’Souza, who co-directed the movie with JohnSullivan.

The documentary now has climbed to a $9.1 mil-lion domestic total, with prospects for strong busi-ness as the Republican National Conventionunfolds over the next few days.

LAKE PLACID — “TheDog Days of Summer” are offi-cially over since they run fromJuly 3 to Aug. 11, but they’llcontinue into September so itseems. Dog days are supposedto have something to do withthe stars and the big Dog Star,Sirius, is the brightest. I thinkthese sultry days are the resultof the high heat and the humid-ity, not the twinkling stars.

Aug. 20, Bob and I made thecoffee and we treated withjelly-filled doughnut holes.Luetta Kiger was the emceeand the attendance was light,very light. Where has everyonegone? We were happy to seethat Fran Turley was back fromthe hospital. Carol Noel, ourSunshine girl, called attentionto the fact that we do have seri-ously ill friends who need ourprayers: Jim Becker, DarrellWiseman, Joanne Bugg, JackHolmes and Joan Peterson. Weare sorry to hear that Jerry andBonnie Allen are leaving thepark and going to CapeGirardeau, Mo. Only twowomen, Clare Bloch andMarge Perry, were present fortheir birthday song that wasplayed by Marilyn Cromer.

Jim Hogan announced thatthe Pancake Breakfast will beSaturday, Sept. 1. It’s that time

again, it rolls around so quick-ly. The men will have theirBreakfast Out at the Truck Stopon Tuesday, Sept. 4. The RedHats will go to Lightseys’ SeaFood Restaurant inOkeechobee on Thursday,Sept. 13.

Sunday, our son, KeithClouston and friend VickyBurk, drove down fromLakeland to spend the day withus. This always means a walkdown to the lake, so after din-ner we went down and sat onthe fishing pier to look acrossLake Clay. How often do we,the residents, take advantage ofthis pleasure?

Carol Noel attended thewedding of her grandson,Patrick Garland, to ChiavaniCase of Pembroke Pine.Patrick is from Boca Raton.The bride’s dress was whitelace and the bridesmaids’dresses were the color of aqua.The reception was held at theSignature Grand in Davie. Thegroom’s mother, Mary NoelNorberg from Chatham, Mich.,came down for the weddingand is now spending a weekwith Carol Noel. Though CarolNoel is Patrick’s grandmother,Carol, caught the bridal bou-quet. What fun. Carol said thatthe wedding was very elegantand there was a wonderfulchicken dinner with a fantasticsauce.

The Ladies Coffee was Aug.21. Carolyn Reece made the

coffee and coffee cake, hotright out of the oven. She alsoled the meeting. We were sur-prised to hear that Fran Buerohad been to the hospital fortests. There is going to be aLabor Day dinner at 5 p.m. onLabor Day. Tickets will be soldfor $5.

The Ladies Lunch Out wasat the Red Lobster on Sebringon Aug. 21. There were 27ladies who came out for thelunch, as we all enjoy eating atthe Red Lobster. Carol Noeland Marysue Willeke were thehostesses.

Carol Noel went around toall the tables making sureeveryone was enjoying theirlunch, which we were. Thesame day the men, TheMustangs, went to the TruckStop for their luncheon out.

If anyone in the park hadgrubs, ants, termites, etc., intheir lawns, I’m sure thearmadillos have found them.These leathery armor-shelledanimals are digging in our lawnand leaving holes. I’m sureeveryone has seen at least one.

Laughing is good for you; itburns calories and just makesyou happier.

TAMPA — The conven-tional wisdom about nationalpolitical conventions is thatthey have outlived their pur-pose.

Once, they were the placewhere the parties actuallypicked their candidates forpresident and vice president.But for at least 30 yearsnow, conventions have beenthe place where the nomi-nees, long since selected, tryto bind up their party’s inter-nal wounds and reach outover the heads of the dele-gates to woo the less parti-san voters who usuallydecide the election.

They have become thelargest, most expensiveinfomercials in human expe-rience.

So why are we even stillhaving them?

As the parties convene,there will be much chatter-ing that conventions don’tmatter anymore, that theyare a waste of money (someof it taxpayer money) andshould be abandoned. “Totalanachronisms. Parties shouldscrap ‘em,” sniffs MarkMcKinnon, former mediaadviser to George W. Bushand a co-founder of NoLabels, a group devoted topurging “hyper-partisanship”from politics.

The Senate, in fact, voted,95 to 4 a few weeks ago tocut off in the future the$18.3 million subsidy eachparty gets to stage (that isthe word — “stage”) theconventions. HomelandSecurity also gives out $50-milllion to assure security ateach convention.

The parties are not likelyto give up their moments inthe sun, however.

Conventions are the timewhen voters really tune in.Even with the reduced airtime the TV networks nowgive them, conventions bringa spike in attention, saysAndrew Kohut, president ofthe Pew Research Center.Social media is likely tomagnify that this year in thesame way that it whetted TVaudiences’ appetites for thissummer’s other big event,the London Olympics.

The acceptance speechesof the two presidential nomi-nees will be the largest cam-paign audience eitherreceives until they meettogether for the threedebates.

Those speeches are nosmall thing.

American politics is hard-ly burdened by too muchcommunication, although ifyou live in a battlegroundstate saturated with 30-sec-ond commercials you mightbe forgiven for thinking that.The larger problem is too lit-tle substantive communica-tion, particularly communi-cation that forces a thoughtto last longer than the speedof sound-bite.

The acceptance speechesare the only time in the

entire fall campaign wheneach candidate speaks direct-ly to the country for anextended time, unfiltered bynews coverage or back andforth with an opponent.

Other countries arrangetime specifically for that sortof thing. Not in America.

“It is the best chance for acandidate to ‘introduce him-self’ to the country on hisown terms,” says formerRep. Mickey Edwards, aRepublican from Oklahoma.That is particularly interest-ing coming from Edwards,who in almost every otherrespect excoriates the pres-ent political system in hisnew book, “The PartiesVersus the People.”

“I do, indeed, want to rad-ically overhaul the system,but that’s about the votingprocess, money, partisanshipin governing,” Edwards says.“The convention is not atthat level; it’s more of a‘show’, more important thanmere ‘entertainment.’ I see itas something worth watch-ing, and even more so thanmost of the other stuff ontelevision.”

Indeed, it is the kind ofhigh-school civics version ofcampaigning that is other-wise pretty hard to locate inthe day-to-day scrum ofAmerican national politicsthese days.

If the candidates want tospeak directly to the nationafter their conventions, theyhave to pay for the time, asObama did in 2008.

Of course, if the justifica-tion for public spending onparty events is that theacceptance speech is a pub-lic service, the governmentcould just spend that $18.3million to buy air time foreach campaign.

That $18.3 million is oneof the last remnants of apublic finance system thatwas meant to curb money inpolitics. The IRS collects $3from every taxpayer whoticks the box for the presi-dential campaign fund. Butmost of the money, some$235 million, is sitting in thegovernment coffers becauseneither Romney nor Obamais taking their share, prefer-ring instead to go out andraise and spend even moreon their own.

Since $18 million mightnot be enough, at goingrates, to buy an hour acrossall the networks and keycable channels, Congresscould authorize thePresidential ElectionCampaign Fund to tap therest of that money, too, tobuy time on the condition itwas used for long-form pre-sentations. There will be agreat temptation to take thisunspent money and plow itback into paying down thegovernment debt. But itwould probably increase thechances of actually dealingwith that debt if the candi-dates used the money toexplain the fiscal situationand what they planned to do

about it.The parties will have to

make their own decisionwhether to continue the con-ventions without the federalsubsidy. They might well,since the conventions arestill a valuable tool forrewarding party workers andmotivating the base voters ofeach party, something thatcould loom particularly largethis year in an election thatmay revolve even more thanusually on whose loyaliststurn out in the fall (partisanvoters do tend to watch theirown convention more thanthe other guys’).

Conventions weren’t partof the original plan. Thefounders by and large hatedparties (tellingly, they calledthem factions) and probablywould have hated partisanconventions, which wereinvented only after they weregone.

Conventions were origi-nally thought of as a reformof a system in which con-gressmen picked the candi-dates. The first party conven-tions were before the elec-tion of 1832, and nominatedHenry Clay to challengePresident Andrew Jackson.Delegates arrived at boththose party conventionsknowing who would get thenomination. Just like thisyear. But that hasn’t stoppedconventions from conveningevery four years since.

Even before the federalsubsidy is yanked, the con-ventions are evolving. Oncea fixture of midsummer, theDemocratic convention thisyear will actually be afterLabor Day, coinciding withthe traditional kickoff of fallcampaigning. The Democratshad already cut their conven-tion to three days, recogniz-ing a reality that broadcast-ers weren’t going to pay

attention to their activitieson Labor Day anyway. Thebroadcasters then told theRepublicans they wouldn’tcover their Monday sessionseither, and Hurricane Isaachas now finished the job ofwashing out day one.

“Despite separationbetween church and state,Mother Nature is helping toensure that the conventionsget trimmed from four daysto three,” said ElizabethWilner, vice president of theKantar/media analysis group.“With Dems really onlydoing three days, and nowRepublicans only doing threedays, in 2016 there will bepressure to only do threedays.”

Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif., saw this coming. Hehas served as parliamentari-an of the last four GOP con-ventions. He recalls that in2008 a Katrina-class hurri-cane was barreling for theGulf Coast as the conventionconvened in Minnesota. Hisstaff got together and figuredout a way to compress all

the legally required businessof the convention — rules,the platform and the nomi-nation of the ticket — into afew hours so delegates fromthe Gulf Coast, including thegovernors of Louisiana andMississippi, could rushhome to respond to thelooming disaster.

This Plan B went unneed-ed. The hurricane blew out,and the convention wentahead as planned over fourdays to nominate JohnMcCain and Sarah Palin.

While Dreier developed aplan to effectively eliminatethe Republican convention,that doesn’t mean he would.“There will be a degree ofuncertainty about what partyconventions will look like inthe future,” he said as heheaded to Tampa. “They aregoing through a bit of achange. But I don’t agreethey are unnecessary.”

Barack Obama gaveCharlie Crist a hug. MittRomney gave him $1 mil-lion. Apparently the hugmeant more to Crist.

The former Republicangovernor confirmedMonday that he will bespeaking at theDemocratic NationalConvention next week inCharlotte, N.C. It’s newsthat comes as Republicanshold their convention tonominate Romney as theirpresidential candidate —an event being held acrossTampa Bay from Crist’sSt. Petersburg home.

“I think so much ofwhat the president hasdone and the good he’stried to do for Florida,”Crist said.

He cited the efforts tohelp the Gulf Coast statesafter the BPoil spill andmoney thatthe presi-dent tried tosteer toFlorida fora bullettrain, whichGov. Rick Scott rejected.

“On issue after issueafter issue, he’s provenhimself as the kind of per-son who’s willing to workacross the aisle for thebetterment of the people.”

Crist left the party in2010 after declaring hewould run for the U.S.Senate as an independent.He was chased from theRepublican primary afterfalling behind eventualwinner Marco Rubio inthe polls. Rubio overcamea disadvantage in moneyand support with a mes-sage that Crist was not atrue conservative — astrategy that was punctu-ated with a photo of Cristembracing Obama at a2009 rally to push for the$787 billion federal stim-ulus package.

In 2006, Romney, thenthe Massachusetts gover-nor, gave Crist a $1 mil-lion check from theRepublican GovernorsAssociation to help Crist’sgubernatorial campaign.

Crist on Sundayendorsed Obama.

At a Republican Partyof Florida breakfast forconvention delegates inPalm Harbor on Monday,incoming House SpeakerWill Weatherford mockedCrist. He mentionedTropical Storm Isaac, thensaid, “Speaking of windsblowing and people shift-ing positions, the FloridaRepublican Party had aformer member of theRepublican Party by thename of Charlie Crist.”

NEW YORK — By theyardstick of history, NeilArmstrong was among themost accomplished men everto walk on the planet that helooked upon from afar onemagical week in July 1969.

Television news didn’tseem to fully recognize theimportance of the first humanto walk on the moon on theweekend he died.

In the hours afterArmstrong’s death wasannounced, news networkswere airing canned program-ming — jailhouse documen-taries, a rerun interview withRielle Hunter, MikeHuckabee’s weekend show.Menacing satellite pictures ofTropical Storm Isaac hadmuch more air time thanArmstrong’s dusty hops onthe lunar surface. Talk of theupcoming GOP national con-vention sucked up the air.

A trio of factors played into the lack of attention.

First, Armstrong died on a

Saturday. Not just anySaturday, when news organi-zations have a skeletal staff,but a late August weekend.Half the country is at thebeach.

It’s not a stretch to thinkinexperience on duty mighthave played a role in NBCNews’ embarrassing gaffe: awebsite headline that read:“Astronaut Neil Young, firstman to walk on the moon,dies at age 82.” (NBC calledit a staffer error and said themistake was taken down afterseven minutes.)

His death came as some-what of a surprise, too.Everyone dies, of course, andmost news organizationshave prepared material onhand to mark the passing offamous people. In manycases, though, there isadvance word that someoneis very ill and it gives themedia a chance to prepareand plan.

Armstrong’s determinedeffort to live a quiet, privatelife after his astronaut days

also left TV at a disadvan-tage.

There was relatively littletape on hand to roll frominterviews reminiscing abouthis experiences, reunionswith old astronauts or publicappearances. No Armstrongchats with David Letterman.No appearances in musicvideos.

There was the moon walk,and not much else.

Notable deaths often giveviewers the chance to reflect,to put into perspective livesof great accomplishment orgreat notoriety.

Not so with NeilArmstrong. His death waslike his life: strangely mutedgiven the magnitude of hisachievements.

WASHINGTON — When man firstharnessed fire, no one recorded it.When the Wright Brothers showed mancould fly, only a handful of people wit-nessed it. But when Neil Armstrongtook that first small step on the moonin July 1969, an entire globe watchedin grainy black-and-white from a quar-ter million miles away

We saw it. We were part of it. Hetook that “giant leap for mankind” forus.

Although more than half of theworld’s population wasn’t alive then, itwas an event that changed and expand-ed the globe.

“It’s a human achievement that willbe remembered forever,” said JohnLogsdon, professor emeritus of spacepolicy at George WashingtonUniversity. Those first steps werebeamed to nearly every country aroundthe world, thanks to a recentlylaunched satellite. It was truly the firstglobal mass media event, Logsdon said.An estimated 600 million people — 1out of every 5 on the planet —watched.

The two historical events likely to belong remembered from the 20thCentury are the moon landing and thefirst atomic bomb, said SmithsonianInstitution space curator RogerLaunius.

“There is no way to overestimate thatsignificance in human history and he isforever linked to that,” Launius said ofArmstrong, who died Saturday at age82.

Just as the voyage of ChristopherColumbus split historic eras 500 yearsago, so will Neil Armstrong andApollo 11, said Rice University histori-an Douglas Brinkley, a specialist in20th Century history.

“We may be living in the age ofArmstrong,” said Brinkley, who con-ducted oral histories for NASA, includ-ing sessions with Armstrong.

The late science fiction author ArthurC. Clarke wrote that the Apollo 11moon landing was “one of the greatdivides in human history; we are sun-dered from it forever by the momentwhen Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrinstepped out on to the Sea ofTranquility. Now history and fictionhave become inexorably intertwined.”

Since that day, there’s been a com-mon phrase: “If we can send a man tothe moon, why can’t we ... ?” with theblank filled with a task that seems farless difficult.

Armstrong’s small step was that leapin confidence telling the world “if wecan do this, we can do anything,” saidHoward McCurdy, a professor of spaceand public policy at AmericanUniversity and author of the book“Space and the American Imagination.”

“He took something that 20 yearsearlier was pure fantasy and turned itinto reality and if we could do that for

space we could do it for anything,”McCurdy said Saturday.

The Apollo 11 moon landing was thefinish line in a decade-long space racestarted by the Soviet Union. And so thefirst steps on the moon coming from anAmerican civilian had many meanings.Getting there first showed Americantechnological superiority, butArmstrong mentioned mankind — notAmericans — demonstrating that thiswas a moment for the people of Earth,McCurdy said.

Armstrong and Aldrin left a plaqueon the moon that read: “Here menfrom the planet Earth first set foot uponthe moon. July 1969 A.D. We came inpeace for all mankind.”

For all mankind. And that’s how theworld took it.

“The success for America (is a) suc-cess for every living man” reported theSwahili-language newspaper Nguromoof Dar.

And if that wasn’t enough,Armstrong and Aldrin also left a patchto commemorate NASA astronauts and

Soviet cosmonauts who had died inpursuit of space.

“It was special and memorable but itwas only instantaneous because therewas work to do,” Armstrong told anAustralian interviewer this year.

The Cold War may have slightlymuted the significance of the event atthe time, but over the years the impor-tance of the moon landing has onlygrown, Logsdon said.

It’s permeated into culture. Themoon landing is in movies, television,books, songs and it was even MichaelJackson’s signature dance step. That’sprobably because in some ways thatmoonwalk touched something that hasbeen hard-wired into humanity: theneed to explore. For 25,000 years,humans have been migrating and push-ing into new places. Armstrong took itto new heights.

John Glenn, the first American toorbit the Earth, noted it was “the firsttime any human being set foot on aplace other than Earth, and that’s apretty big step.”

By PETER SVENSSONAP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Apple’s $1 bil-lion court victory over Samsungposes a lot of questions for con-sumers. Will Samsung phones stillbe available for sale? Will they bemore expensive? Will owners ofexisting phones need to worry?

A federal jury in San Jose, Calif.,ruled late Friday that Samsung, theworld’s largest maker of phones,had copied features of the iPhoneand the iPad. That included the“bounce-back” behavior when auser scrolls to the end of a page andthe ability to zoom in on an imageby spreading two fingers.

The jury awarded Apple $1.05billion in damages. That was lessthan the $2.5 billion sought, but stilla victory for Apple. Meanwhile, thejury rejected Samsung’s patent-infringement claims against Apple.An appeal is expected.

For now, here’s what the verdictmeans for consumers:

Q. Can I still buy a Samsungphone or tablet computer today?

A. Yes. The jury didn’t prohibitsales of the devices. However,Apple will ask a judge to ban U.S.sales of several Samsung devices. ASept. 20 hearing has been sched-uled. If the judge agrees, that wouldaffect many Samsung devices, butnot the most recent ones, such asthe Galaxy S III and Galaxy Notesmartphones. Most of the two dozendevices covered by the lawsuitaren’t sold in meaningful numbersin the U.S.

Q. Was Friday’s verdict final?A. No. Samsung is challenging it.

First, Samsung will first ask thetrial judge to toss the verdict. Thenit will appeal to a court inWashington that specializes in

patent appeals. Samsung has vowedto take the fight all the way to theU.S. Supreme Court, if necessary.

Q. If Apple still prevails, willthis drive Samsung out of thephone business?

A. That’s not likely. The verdictdoesn’t apply outside the U.S. anddoesn’t apply to the latest Samsungdevices either. The $1 billion indamages represents 1.5 percent ofSamsung Electronics Co.’s annualrevenue.

Q. Will this make Samsungphones more expensive?

A. Possibly. Samsung may haveto pay Apple substantial royaltieson each phone. Consumers willlikely pay for that somehow, but itmay not be noticeable in stores.Phone companies such as AT&Tand Verizon Wireless already subsi-dize each smartphone by hundreds

of dollars to get retail prices downto $99 or $199.

Q. What does this mean for theSamsung phone I already own?

A. This doesn’t directly affectphones that have already been sold,even if they are the models that thejudge decides to ban. In the longrun, it could reduce enthusiasmaround Android, the operating sys-tem from Google that Samsung usesin the devices in question. Thatmight mean fewer applications forAndroid from outside parties. Thatwill take years to play out, but couldconceivably affect the resale valueof your phone.

Q. Does this mean Samsungphones will look different in thefuture?

A. Possibly. The jury dingedSamsung’s flagship Galaxy line forcopying the overall look and feel of

the iPhone and for using the stockicons with rounded corners thatcome with Android. Also at issuewas the way Android can tell thedifference between the touch of asingle finger and several fingers.Samsung might delay some modelsto give it time to rework their lookand feel.

Q. What does this mean forother Android phones, such asthose from LG Electronics Inc.,HTC Corp. and Google’sMotorola Mobility?

A. Although the ruling appliesonly to Samsung, it will have anindirect effect on all makers ofAndroid devices. Apple could goafter them with arguments similarto the ones used against Samsung.But Friday’s ruling is not preceden-tial, meaning that other courts couldreach completely different deci-sions.

By DAN [email protected]’s been a cool summer

for Corbin Hoffner, albeitunder the hot desert sun inthe Arizona Rookie League.

“Oh it’s hot out herestill,” he said via e-mail onMonday, hours beforerecording perhaps his bestouting. “But at least it’s nothumid.”

The 14th round draft pickof the ChicagoCubs, the for-mer BlueStreak righthander hasbeen enjoyingthe opportuni-ty, while alsomaking themost of it.

Hoffner hasseven appearances underhis belt, including one start,and save for one bad outing,his numbers have been stel-lar.

He has pitched 12.2innings, allowing 15 hitsand nine runs, though justone of those runs has beenearned, with four walks and13 strike outs.

That one less than stellarappearance came onSunday, Aug. 12, againstthe Royals Rookie Leaguesquad, where he got nickedfor seven hits in 1.2innings.

He was responsible forsix runs coming across,although fielding errorsbehind him played a partseeing as none of the runswere earned.

Five days later, he wenttwo innings and uncharac-teristically walked two,while giving up just one hit.

Three runs scored, butagain, just one was earned.

Another five days passedand Hoffnergot his firststart of thesummer sea-son and wasback in form.

He wentthree stronginnings, scat-tering threehits while

striking out two, with noruns allowed and no walksgiven up.

And then, in that outingon Monday, Hoffner reallycame on strong against theGiants.

Coming on in the fifthwith the Cubs holding a 3-0lead, he struck out the firstbatter he faced before beingsolved for a double.

But he retired the nexttwo in order, on a groundout and strike out to get outof it with no harm done.

Then, in the sixth, a leadoff single was followed by a

catcher’s interference to puttwo on with nobody out.

Hoffner struck out thenext two batters, however,before allowing a walk toload the bases.

Reaching back for a littleextra, he got out of it with

his fifth strikeout in twoinnings of work.

The Cubs would hang onfor a 3-1 win and are in avirtual tie for the lead in theArizona League EastDivision with Oakland’s

Special to the News-SunSTUART – The Tequila

Patrón-sponsored ExtremeSpeed Motorsports (ESM)team looks to capitalize onthis weekend’s BaltimoreSports Car Challenge pre-sented by SRT, all-out two-hour sprint throughBaltimore’s Inner Harbor, theeighth round of competitionin the American Le MansSeries (ALMS) presented byTequila Patrón.

The magic number thisweekend for ESM is two.

The ESM team is headingfull throttle through the con-crete canyons of Baltimore,the second race for CharmCity, and the second streetcourse of the ALMS season.

The two-hour event is twomiles in length and the two-

car ESM team looks for adouble podium for the No. 01and No. 02 Tequila PatrónFerrari Italia 458 cars anddrivers.

During the Long Beachstreet race earlier this season,the No. 01 Tequila PatrónFerrari Italia 458 finished inthird place, the first podiumfinish for co-drivers ScottSharp and Johannes vanOverbeek this season.

The two veteran drivershave earned three podiumfinishes in 2012 – two thirdplaces and one victory.

Both Sharp and vanOverbeek excel at street cir-cuits and expect a solid finishthis weekend, en route to thebest season on record for theNo. 01 car.

The experienced drivers

know that patience and strat-egy will be the keys to suc-cess this weekend.

Guy Cosmo and Ed Brown,co-drivers of the No. 02Tequila Patrón Ferrari Italia458, finished the 2011Baltimore race, in 10th place,just one position behind itssister car.

Similar to the No. 01 driv-ers, Cosmo and Brown lookforward to attacking the shortcourse all while keeping aneye on the clock since theBaltimore race will pass byvery quickly.

Special to the News-SunBRADENTON – After

sweeping past the LakeWales Steelers a week earli-er, the Sebring YouthFootball Blue Streaks had atougher time in BradentonSaturday, Aug. 25, with theManatee Bulls.

The Flag squad got thingsstarted in a positive direc-tion, as Jayden Garrett’slong runs set up first-halftouchdowns by Greg“Scooter” Smith and RhettVaughn.

Up 26-6 in the third quar-ter, Scooter added anotherscore and another long runset up a fourth-quartertouchdown to bring thefinal to 41-6.

It was a defensive strug-gle in the Mitey Mite con-test, and the Blue Streakstensely went through aninjury scare.

In the first quarter, TylerShiflet ran one up the mid-

dle from the 50, gaining afirst down to set up anElijah McGahee touchdownrun for a 6-0 lead.

Both defenses would holdthe rest of the way, with thestart of the fourth quarterseeing it still at 6-0, whenShiflet went down with aninjury.

An ambulance was beck-oned and Shiflet was assist-ed into the back as anxiousbreaths were baited.

But they soon erupted inapplause as the truck doorsopened minutes later andShiflet trotted back out ontothe field.

Perhaps buoyed by therelief, Sebring’s defenseheld strong the rest of theway to secure the 6-0 win.

The Bulls and injuries didget the best of the BlueStreaks in the Senior game.

In a sloppy first quarter,which saw fumbles for bothteams, Manatee made one

recovery count and convert-ed it into a touchdown.

After another Bulls score,Deshawn Moore went downafter a hard hit and wastaken to the hospital forobservation with concus-sion-like symptoms.

Later, after a Manateesafety boosted the lead to15-0, Adrian Perdue alsowent down with an injury,prompting head coachBronson Smith to end thegame.

“We’ve got to keep thesekids healthy,” he said.“We’ll get back to practiceand look forward to nextweek.”

It was a back and forthbattle for the Pee Wees, asSebring bounced back froman early 7-0 deficit to tie iton a Willis McGuire score.

The Bulls answered to goup 13-7, but the Streaksagain tied it just before thehalf.

Alvin Tomblin then tookone into the end zone in thethird for a 19-13 lead andRyan Brown added a fourth-quarter score, with aKavonte Jones extra point,to provide for the 26-13final score.

In the Junior contest,Sebring started the scoring,but the Bulls took over fromthere.

During a Manatee drive,Tyree Ancrum stepped infront of a pass attempt,picked it off and returned itfor a score and 7-0 lead.

The Bulls answered rightback, though, ending thefirst quarter down just 7-6.

Manatee added a second-quarter score to go up 13-7,and would score three moretimes in the second half towin it going away, 34-7.

Having won three of five,Sebring is back at practicethis week and gets back togame action Saturday.

By STEPHEN HAWKINSAssociated Press

IRVING, Texas — TheDallas Cowboys are trying toprovide some guidance forDez Bryant, the talentedyoung receiver who has hadissues off the field.

Coach Jason Garrettwouldn’t go into specificsMonday or describe potentialdiscipline for not abiding bythe rules, but he said theCowboys (No. 15 in APPro32) want to supportBryant and his family.

“What we’ve tried to do iscome up with a plan for Dezlike we would for any playerwho we feel like needs oursupport, and help him be hisbest as a player and as a per-son,” Garrett said. “And theaccountability factor is animportant part of that withhim and with anybody on ourfootball team.”

According to numerousreports, Bryant will attendweekly counseling sessions,have a full-time securityteam and not be allowed toconsume alcohol or attendstrip clubs.

The security members willdrive Bryant to team func-tions, including practices andgames, and the receiver willalso be subject to a curfew.

Bryant was arrested in Julyfor allegedly assaulting hismother, who has since saidshe doesn’t want authoritiesto pursue charges againsthim.

The Dallas County districtattorney’s office has yet tomake a decision about misde-meanor family violencecharges.

There is still the chancethat the NFL could disciplineBryant, who is going into histhird season with the

Cowboys.NFL spokesman Greg

Aiello told The AssociatedPress in an email Mondaythat the league “will reviewthe facts once the case isresolved by the court.”

He said the team’s guide-lines for Bryant will havenothing to do with leaguediscipline.

“We’re going to controlwhat we can control as anorganization, and Dez hasdone everything that we’veasked him to do up to thispoint both on and off thefootball field,” Garrett said.“Any decision about that isout of our control.”

Despite other off-the-fieldissues in the past, Bryant washaving a solid offseason untilhis arrest two weeks beforethe start of training camp.

Bryant’s adviser, DavidWells, and the player’s attor-ney, Royce West, didn’treturn messages to the AP.

“We have some things inplace and we are still in theprocess of working out therest,” Wells told the FortWorth Star-Telegram in astory published Monday. “Weare all working together toaccomplish some things tohelp him succeed.”

Bryant hasn’t been avail-able to speak to reporterssince the start of trainingcamp because of his pendinglegal issues.

He didn’t talk in the lockerroom after practice Monday.

In 2008, the Cowboys hada security detail in place forAdam “Pacman” Jones, whohad missed all of the previ-ous season with Tennesseeand was coming off a 17-month NFL suspensionbecause of repeated legaltroubles.

Six weeks after being rein-stated by the NFL, Jones wasinvolved in an alcohol-relat-ed scuffle with one of hisbodyguards at a private partyin Dallas and was suspendedfor six games.

He was cut by theCowboys after the season.

Cowboys owner JerryJones waited a couple ofweeks after Bryant wasarrested, and a couple of daysafter the team got toCalifornia for training camp,to talk with Bryant.

The owner, who called it aserious situation, said he wasdisappointed and didn’t wantto be emotional when talkingto Bryant.

Jones said then that Bryanthad already been involved inthe team’s counseling pro-gram.

Bryant surrendered toauthorities July 16, two daysafter his mother, Angela,made a 911 call about thealleged assault.

The 23-year-old receiver isonly 14 years younger thanshe is.

There had been some trou-ble for Bryant even beforethe Cowboys drafted Bryantwith the 24th overall pick in2010.

Bryant missed nearly hisentire last college season atOklahoma State because ofan NCAA suspension for

lying about having dinnerwith Deion Sanders.

He ran up hundreds ofthousands of dollars in billson game tickets and jewelry,and was sued by people whosaid they were creditors.

Last year, he was kickedout of an upscale Dallas mallfor wearing sagging pants.

In January, he was report-edly involved in a fight withthe rapper Lil Wayne at aMiami nightclub.

Bryant said during the off-season that he was spendingmore time with the playbook,watching more film and con-centrating on his condition-ing.

There were no issues untilthe incident with his mother,and haven’t been any knownproblems since then.

During the early portion ofpractice Monday open toreporters, Bryant was initial-ly catching some passes frombackup quarterback RudyCarpenter.

Bryant, who has been deal-ing with right knee tendinitis,

then did some rehab workwith a trainer alongside tightend Jason Witten (spleen).

Bryant and the most of theCowboys starters aren’texpected to play inWednesday night’s preseasonfinale against Miami.

That comes a week beforetheir regular-season opener atthe defending Super Bowlchampion New York Giants.

Teammate Marcus Spearssaid the guidelines werebetween Bryant and teamownership, but that he was“pretty sure” they were onthe same page.

“Whatever they’re doing,they’re doing the rightthings,” backup quarterbackKyle Orton said. “He’s a spe-cial player. He’s one of thoseguys, you find ways to gethim the ball. ... You want togive him a lot of touchesbecause one of those touchesis going to be a special play,and there’s very few of thoseguys around.”

Vince Young is out of work,Terrell Suggs is on PUP and severalveteran NFL kickers are on thestreet after the first set of mandato-ry NFL cuts.

Teams needed to be down to 75players Monday, and Young was thebiggest name to lose his job.

After Buffalo acquired TarvarisJackson from Seattle to back upquarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, 2006Offensive Rookie of the Year Youngwas released.

“Vince, I don’t want to get intowhat he can do and can’t do, it justdidn’t work out,” general managerBuddy Nix said. “We just need tomove on and give this guy a try.”

Young knew what was comingand tweeted earlier in the day:“Respect Bills fans. I want to thankthe Bills organization for the oppor-tunity and with the organization andmy teammates good luck this sea-son.”

It’s been a tough few years forYoung since he was exiled by theTitans for inconsistent play on thefield and several incidents off it.

Young had a disappointing sea-son as Michael Vick’s backup inPhiladelphia last year, and couldn’tmake it through the preseason withBuffalo (No. 19 in the AP Pro32).

Suggs, on the other hand, comesoff his best pro season, when he wasvoted Defensive Player of the Year.

But he tore his right Achilles ten-don in the offseason and isn’texpected back before November.

By placing him on the physicallyunable to perform list, the Ravens(No. 5, AP Pro32) must be withoutSuggs for the first six weeks of theseason.

Detroit (No. 11 tie, AP Pro32)placed on PUP running back JahvidBest, who hasn’t played sinceOctober because of concussion

problems.All 32 teams must be down to the

regular-season roster limit of 53 onFriday.

Among the kickers given the bootwere Olindo Mare by Carolina, JoshBrown by the Jets, and Neil Rackersby Washington.

Mare has played 15 NFL seasonand got a four-year, $12 millioncontract last year.

But Justin Medlock, last with theCFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats, appearsto have won the kicking job inCarolina (No. 20, AP Pro32).

Veteran punter Nick Harris wasbeaten out by sixth-round draft pickBrad Nortman.

“Both of those decisions at kick-er were very difficult,” Panthersgeneral manager Marty Hurneysaid. “In both situations we felt likewe had two young kickers withstrong legs who had very goodtraining camps. So did Olindo andNick, but we made a decision to gowith the younger guys based ontheir performances.”

Brown lost out to incumbent NickFolk in New York (No 17, APPro32), and Rackers was beaten outby Graham Gano in Washington(No. 25, AP Pro32).

Gano missed an NFL-high 10field goal attempts in 2011; fivewere blocked.

Coach Mike Shanahan said Gano“won the statistical battle in prac-tice.”

Tackle Jammal Brown, who hadhip surgery last week, was moved tothe physically unable to performlist.

Also:—Green Bay (No. 1, AP Pro32)

lost starting linebacker DesmondBishop for the season.

He went on injured reserve with aright leg problem.

—San Diego (No. 16, AP Pro32)released veteran receiver-kick

returner Roscoe Parrish.—Cleveland (No. 30, AP Pro32)

claimed DL Ernest Owusu offwaivers from Minnesota and placedlinebackers Emmanuel Acho andChris Gocong on injured reserve,losing them for the season.

Placed defensive tackle PhilTaylor went on the PUP list. Taylortore a biceps muscle lifting weightsduring the offseason.

A first-round pick in 2011, hestarted all 16 games last season.

—Denver (No. 10, AP Pro32)waived veteran long snapper LoniePaxton.

—Jacksonville (No. 31, APPro32) put sixth-year linebackerClint Session (concussion) on PUP.

—New Orleans (No. 9, APPro32) released QB Luke McCownand DT Remi Ayodele.

—The New York Giants (No. 3,AP Pro32) placed DT Chris Cantyand TE Travis Beckum on the PUPlist, released DBs Antwaun Moldenand Chris Horton.

—Philadelphia (No. 8, AP Pro32)put starting left tackle Jason Peterson the non-football injury list, andDT Mike Patterson on the non-foot-ball illness list.

—Pittsburgh (No. 7, AP Pro32)released tight end Justin Peele andsafety Myron Rolle.

—Tampa (No. 26, AP Pro32) puttwo-time Pro Bowl guard DavinJoseph on injured reserve and sec-

ond-year defensive end Da’QuanBowers on PUP.

Joseph tore the patellar tendon inhis right knee last week and Bowerstore his right Achilles tendon duringa workout in May and has not par-ticipated in training camp.

—Houston (No. 6, AP Pro32) letgo of veteran LB Omar Gaither andWR Bryant Johnson.

—New England (No. 2, APPro32) released receivers JabarGaffney and Donte’ Stallworth, anddefensive lineman Gerard Warren.

DBs Will Allen and Josh Barrettand FB Spencer Larsen went oninjured reserve.

C M Y K

� The game: Texas at Oklahoma State(Sept. 29)� The reason: The Big 12 opener forboth, and it will be tough (impossible?) forthe loser to win the league title. Texas leadsthe series 22-4, but Oklahoma State haswon the past two. A Texas win means theLonghorns will have to be taken seriouslyas a league contender. A Texas loss willstart the teeth-gnashing fans who wonder ifMack Brown needs to go. An OklahomaState win means the Cowboys will have tobe taken seriously as a league contender.An Oklahoma State loss will lead many tobelieve the Cowboys are headed for a mid-dle-of-the pack finish in the conference.This starts a tough three-game stretch forTexas, which plays West Virginia andOklahoma after it meets the Cowboys.� Also of note: Wisconsin at Nebraska(Sept. 29)

� The game: Georgia at South Carolina(Oct. 6)� The reason: Steve Spurrier’s presencein Columbia has turned this into a rivalry.There’s no one Spurrier likes beatingmore than the Bulldogs, and theGamecocks have done it two seasons in arow. This is the most important SEC Eastgame of the season; it’s basically a must-win for the Gamecocks because theirleague schedule is much tougher thanGeorgia’s. Georgia can lose and still havea shot at the division title; that is not thecase for the Gamecocks.� Also of note: West Virginia at Texas(Oct. 6)

� The game: Oklahoma vs. Texas inDallas (Oct. 13)� The reason: The “Red RiverShootout” is just one of three annual neu-tral-site games now (Florida-Georgia andArmy-Navy are the others), and it will bethe most important this season. The possi-bility exists that both will be unbeaten atgame time (though that possibility isstronger for OU than for the Longhorns).In that scenario, the winner takes a hugestep toward winning the Big 12 title. Andif one is unbeaten but not the other, thepotential of spoiling the unbeaten rival’sseason makes for fun times.

� The game: Michigan State atMichigan (Oct. 20)� The reason: Michigan State fansalways will have a soft spot in their heartsfor former Michigan coach RichRodriguez. He was the losing coach inthis rivalry in all three of his seasons inAnn Arbor, and the Spartans also won lastseason, giving them four consecutive vic-tories over the hated Wolverines. That tiesthe Spartans’ longest winning streak in theseries. Last season’s victory also helpedMichigan State win the Big Ten LegendsDivision title, and the winner of this onelikely takes the division this season.

� The game: Michigan State atWisconsin (Oct. 27)� The reason: It’s the second of threehuge games for the Spartans, who playMichigan the week before and Nebraskathe week after. These teams met twicelast season, with the Spartans winning inthe regular season and the Badgersreturning the favor in the Big Ten cham-pionship game; that snapped theSpartans’ three-game winning streak inthe series. This is the toughest game ofthe season for Wisconsin — and it alsohappens to be the Badgers’ homecoming.

� The game: Alabama at LSU (Nov. 3)� The reason: This is a monster week-end, as a case can be made that thenation’s four best teams will be playingeach other. Alabama-LSU gets the nodover Oregon-USC because barring light-ning striking again in the same place, theTide and Tigers won’t play again; theDucks and Trojans could (should, actual-ly) meet in the Pac-12 title game. TheSEC West title should be on the linewhen Alabama invades Tiger Stadium fora night game, which means the Tigers’fans will be (extremely) well-oiled and infull throat.

� The game: Florida State at VirginiaTech (Nov. 8)� The reason: This has the potential tobe the first of two meetings this seasonfor these teams, as each is favored in itsACC division. This should be a low-scor-ing, grind-it-out affair; both defenseshould be among the 10 best in thenation, and both offenses — well, theywon’t be among the 10 best in the nation.These teams have met just twice in theregular season as ACC opponents, thoughthey have met two other times in theleague championship game.

� The game: Stanford at Oregon (Nov. 17)� The reason: On paper, at least, theseteams appear to be miles ahead of anyother teams in the Pac-12 North, so thedivision title should be on the line (andboth already will have played prohibitiveSouth Division favorite USC). And ifrecent history is a guide, expect a ton ofpoints. The winning team has scored atleast 50 points in each of the past threemeetings, and the point totals in thosematchups have been 93 in 2009 and 83 in’10 and ’11.

� The game: LSU at Arkansas (Nov. 23)� The reason: LSU has lost in its pasttwo trips to Fayetteville. The Tigers wonby 24 last season in Baton Rouge, but thecombined margin of victory in the previ-ous three matchups between these teamswas just 12 points. Of course, all four ofthose games came with Bobby Petrinocoaching the Hogs.

� The game: SEC championship gamein Atlanta (Dec. 1)� The reason: Come on — it’s a safebet that the winner will advance to thenational championship game. After all(everyone together now), the SEC haswon the past six national titles.

WEEK 1 WEEK 2

WEEK 3 WEEK 4

WEEK 5 WEEK 6

WEEK 7 WEEK 8 WEEK 9 WEEK 10

WEEK 11 WEEK 12 WEEK 13 WEEK 14

� The game: Alabama vs. Michigan inArlington, Texas (Saturday, Sept. 1)� The reason: This is the best non-con-ference game of the season. Two of themost storied programs in history meet forjust the fourth time; the three previouscontests were in bowls, with the mostrecent in the Orange Bowl following the1999 season. This will be the third timein five years that Alabama has opened theseason in a neutral-site game; the othertwo were in Atlanta. A Michigan winwould be a huge boost for the nationalperception of the Big Ten — and forWolverines coach Brady Hoke.� Also of note: Boise State at MichiganState on Aug. 31; Georgia Tech atVirginia Tech on Sept. 3.

� The games: Florida at Texas A&Mand Georgia at Missouri (both Sept. 8)� The reason: This is the openingweekend of the NFL, so maybe that’swhy the college schedule is so weak. It’sthe most uninspiring week of the entireseason. We’re going with an SEC double-header of sorts, with Mizzou and A&Mbeing welcomed into the league with vis-its from two of the league’s better pro-grams.

� The game: Alabama at Arkansas (Sept. 15)� The reason: This is the SEC opener forboth, and the first true test for the Hogswithout Bobby Petrino calling plays. AnArkansas win means the Hogs wouldbecome SEC West title contenders —which means they also would becomenational title contenders. This is the secondbig game in September for the Tide, whichopens with Michigan. Wins over theWolverines and Hogs almost certainlywould mean Alabama would be 8-0 whenit travels to play LSU on Nov. 3 (more onthat in a minute). Alabama has won five ina row over the Hogs.� Also of note: USC at Stanford (Sept. 15)

� The game: Clemson at Florida State(Sept. 22)� The reason: These could be the twobest teams in the ACC; at the least, it’stwo of the top three teams in the league.They also happen to be in the same divi-sion, so this could determine who winsthe league’s Atlantic Division champi-onship. Clemson should have the bestoffense in the league; FSU will have thebest defense. Clemson has won four ofthe past six and six of the past nine in theseries.

Rookie squad.“It’s been a very neat

experience,” Hoffner said. “Ihave learned in pro ball thatit’s your own business andresponsibility to get thingsdone.

“The focus in college is abig deal, but when it comesto pro ball, knowing what

you have to do and gettingthe job done is huge.”

Such a change in mentalitymight create a heavy burdenfor most, especially forsomeone who just celebratedhis 19th birthday at the endof July.

But for Hoffner, a heavierburden isn’t the mindset atall.

“Understanding that it is

my job now, makes me real-ize how blessed I am to beliving the dream,” he said.

Which brings him back tothe focus of the moment.

“Right now we have twogames left and we’ve madethe playoffs,” Hoffner said.“We play the A’s in the semi-finals in four days.”

And the dream continues.

Hoffner takes bigstrides this summer

Courtesy photoAmong the new experiences Hoffner’s taken in this summer was this Arizona sand storm.

the primary backup at bothtackle spots, is fromSwitzerland.

Both transferred earlierthis year from junior col-leges.

The 6-foot-6, 310-poundCameron Erving is startingat the critical left tackle spotfollowing his offseasonmove from defense.

He initially rejected theidea of making the switchafter a lifetime of playing ondefense before he embracedthe idea after Fisher made asecond overture earlier thisyear.

“Football is football tome,” shrugged Erving. “Ondefense you can just go forthe most part. On offenseyou know what’s going tohappen, but you have toreact to what’s going on.”

Manuel said Monday he’sbeen impressed with whathe’s seen from the rebuiltline during practices.

“They’re going to be con-fident,” Manuel said. “Ithink they’ll do a great job.”

Offensive line coach RickTrickett has some experi-enced depth too.

Austin Baron, JacobFahrenkrug, GarrettFaircloth and Bobby Hartcombined to make 30 startsfor the 2011 Seminoles.

In another tight competi-tion, sophomore NickWaisome edged freshman
