RI Treasurer<br />
gives money<br />
tips to seniors<br />
By DONNA KENNY KIRWAN<br />
dirwan@pawtuckettimes.com<br />
PAWTUCKET — On Friday,<br />
General Treasurer Gina Raimondo visited<br />
the Leon Mathieu Senior Center to<br />
share some tips in how to avoid becoming<br />
a victim <strong>of</strong> financial scams.<br />
<strong>The</strong> visit was part <strong>of</strong> Raimondo's<br />
“Smart Money Tour,” which she<br />
recently extended to include some<br />
farmer's markets and senior centers<br />
throughout Rhode Island. In addition to<br />
giving advice on how to avoid some <strong>of</strong><br />
the more popular money scams,<br />
Raimondo spoke <strong>of</strong> how to find<br />
unclaimed property and the importance<br />
<strong>of</strong> personal financial management.<br />
<strong>The</strong> treasurer urged seniors to be<br />
aware <strong>of</strong> fees on their bank accounts,<br />
such as overdraft fees. “Always read<br />
the fine print,” she warned.<br />
Raimondo also urged the seniors to<br />
sign petitions to ban so-called “payday”<br />
lending businesses.<br />
“We need to get the General Assembly<br />
to pass a law against this,” she said,<br />
promising to address this matter in the<br />
next session <strong>of</strong> the General Assembly.<br />
“I'm not going away,” she said.<br />

Anesthesiologist accused <strong>of</strong><br />
overprescribing painkillers<br />

LINCOLN – “Reckless,”<br />
“dangerous” and “substantially<br />
below the standard <strong>of</strong> care” are<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the terms health <strong>of</strong>ficials<br />
are using to describe the<br />
prescribing practices <strong>of</strong> a local<br />
<strong>doctor</strong> whose medical license<br />
was <strong>suspended</strong> Thursday by the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Medical Licensure and<br />
Discipline.<br />
A “<strong>pattern</strong> <strong>of</strong> fatal opiate<br />
overdoses in patients” under the<br />
care <strong>of</strong> Dr. Fathalla Mashali<br />
prompted the board to conduct<br />
the investigation that led to his<br />
suspension, according to papers<br />
released by the board.<br />

His specialty is anesthesiology.<br />
Because the <strong>deaths</strong> involved<br />

hired an outside pain management<br />
physician to review the<br />
records in the <strong>deaths</strong> <strong>of</strong> six<br />
patients under Mashali’s care,<br />
referred to as Patients A through<br />
F in the suspension order. In<br />
more than one case, the reviewer<br />
said Mashali had overprescribed<br />
painkilling narcotics to his<br />
patients despite clear indications<br />
that they were abusing drugs,<br />
including cocaine.<br />

support for US<br />
strikes on Syria<br />
LARA JAKES<br />
AP National Security Writer<br />
WASHINGTON — President Barack<br />
Obama is poised to become the first U.S.<br />
leader in three decades to attack a foreign<br />
nation without mustering broad international<br />
support or acting in direct defense <strong>of</strong><br />
Americans.<br />
Not since 1983, when President Ronald<br />
Reagan ordered an invasion <strong>of</strong> the Caribbean<br />
island <strong>of</strong> Grenada, has the U.S. been so alone<br />
in pursing major lethal military action beyond<br />
a few attacks responding to strikes or threats<br />
against its citizens.<br />
It's a policy turnabout for Obama, a<br />
Democrat who took <strong>of</strong>fice promising to limit<br />
U.S. military intervention and, as a candidate,<br />
said the president "does not have power under<br />
the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a<br />
military attack in a situation that does not<br />
involve stopping an actual or imminent threat<br />
to the nation."<br />
But over the last year Obama has warned<br />

“Of all the questionable<br />

reviewer said. “In the course<br />
<strong>of</strong> forty days...a total <strong>of</strong> 312<br />
Adderall 30 mg pills were<br />
prescribed.<br />
“In my opinion, it can be<br />
stated with a reasonable<br />
degree <strong>of</strong> medical certainty<br />
that the medical care provided<br />
by (Mashali) was substantially<br />
below the standard <strong>of</strong><br />
care. His prescribing practices<br />
were dangerous.”<br />
Patient B, another female,<br />
had violated her narcotic<br />
contract with Mashali, which<br />
means she was using too<br />
much <strong>of</strong> a prescribed drug or<br />
that there was evidence <strong>of</strong><br />
non-prescribed substances in<br />
her system. Nevertheless,<br />
Mashali prescribed her a<br />
month’s worth <strong>of</strong> opioid<br />
medication at a time.<br />

Syrian President Bashar<br />
Assad that his government's<br />

Patient D, a male, died in<br />
the spring <strong>of</strong> 2011, about<br />
four months <strong>after</strong> Mashali<br />
accepted him as a patient,<br />
with three different kinds <strong>of</strong><br />
opiates in his system, oxycodone,<br />
oxymorphone, morphine,<br />
plus alprazolam, a<br />
tranquilizer. Mashali was<br />
prescribing him drugs even<br />
though his initial toxicology<br />
screen came back positive<br />
for amphetamines and<br />
cocaine, the reviewer said.<br />
“It seems unlikely that<br />
any pain clinician (or any<br />
clinician <strong>of</strong> any specialty)<br />
would prescribe opioids for a<br />
patient on the same day that<br />
a tox screen came back positive<br />
for both amphetamine<br />
and cocaine,” the reviewer<br />
concluded. “<strong>The</strong> judgment<br />
with financial expertise are<br />
available to speak one-onone<br />
with seniors, by request,<br />
to help them better manage<br />
their personal finances.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se volunteers are<br />
partnering with my <strong>of</strong>fice to<br />
help people. It's free and confidential.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will sit down<br />
with you and show you how<br />
you can improve your credit,<br />
build a budget and manage<br />
exploitation <strong>of</strong> that power as<br />
commander in chief — you<br />
have to make a very, very<br />
strong case for the clear and<br />
gathering danger argument to<br />
be able to go so aggressively,"<br />
Brower said Friday.<br />
Obama is expected to<br />
launch what <strong>of</strong>ficials have<br />
described as a limited strike<br />
— probably with Tomahawk<br />
cruise missiles — against<br />
Assad's forces.<br />
Two days <strong>after</strong> the suspected<br />
chemicals weapons<br />
attack in Damascus suburbs,<br />
Obama told CNN, "If the<br />
U.S. goes in and attacks<br />
another country without a<br />
U.N. mandate and without<br />
clear evidence that can be<br />
presented, then there are<br />
questions in terms <strong>of</strong> whether<br />
international law supports it;<br />
do we have the coalition to<br />
make it work?" He said:<br />
"Those are considerations<br />
that we have to take into<br />
account."<br />
Lawmakers briefed on the<br />
plans have indicated an<br />
attack is all but certain. And<br />
Obama advisers said the<br />
president was prepared to<br />
strike unilaterally, though<br />
France has said it is ready to<br />
commit forces to an operation<br />
in Syria because the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> chemical weapons cannot<br />
go unpunished.<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. does not have<br />
United Nations support to<br />
strike Syria, and U.N.<br />
Secretary-General Ban Kimoon<br />
has urged restraint.<br />
"Diplomacy should be given<br />
here is quite poor, and<br />
despite (Mashali’s) assertion<br />
that he would monitor the<br />
patient at bi-weekly intervals,<br />
the patient was not seen<br />
again for four weeks.”<br />
Another <strong>of</strong> Mashali’s<br />
patients – Patient E, a female<br />
– initially came to him for<br />
Suboxone, a drug used to<br />
wean addicts <strong>of</strong>f heroin. She<br />
died in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2012 with<br />
a cocktail <strong>of</strong> opioids and<br />
sedatives in her system,<br />
including methadone;<br />
diphenhydramine, a sedative;<br />
oxycodone; carisprodal, a<br />
muscle relaxer; bupropion,<br />
an antidepressant; and<br />
promethazine, a sedative.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reviewer excoriated<br />
Mashali for giving the<br />
patient four times the supply<br />
debt,” Raimondo said.<br />
Raimondo gave the example<br />
<strong>of</strong> a woman whose husband<br />
had recently died and<br />
left her in good financial<br />
shape, except that she did not<br />
know how to manage her<br />
money. A financial coach<br />
“showed this woman how<br />
she could re-finance her<br />
mortgage and save about<br />
$300 a month,” she said.<br />
a chance and peace given a<br />
chance," he said Thursday.<br />
Expected support from<br />
Britain, a key ally, evaporated<br />
as Parliament rejected a<br />
vote Thursday endorsing military<br />
action in Syria. And<br />
diplomats with the 22-nation<br />
Arab League said the organization<br />
does not support military<br />
action without U.N. consent,<br />
an action that Russia<br />
would almost certainly block.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diplomats spoke anonymously<br />
because <strong>of</strong> rules preventing<br />
them from being<br />
identified.<br />
"Presidents always need to<br />
be prepared to go at it alone,"<br />
said Rudy deLeon, who was<br />
a senior Defense Department<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficial in the Clinton administration.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> uninhibited use <strong>of</strong><br />
the chemical weapons is out<br />
there, and that's a real problem,"<br />
said deLeon, now senior<br />
vice president <strong>of</strong> security<br />
and international policy at<br />
the liberal-leaning Center for<br />
American Progress in<br />
Washington. "It can't be<br />
ignored, and it certainly creates<br />
a dilemma. I think<br />
(Obama) had to make the<br />
red-line comment, and so<br />
Syria has acted in a very irresponsible<br />
way."<br />
<strong>The</strong> nearly nine-year war<br />
in Iraq that began in 2003,<br />
which Obama termed "dumb"<br />
because it was based on false<br />
intelligence, has encouraged<br />
global skittishness about<br />
Western military intervention<br />
in the Mideast. "<strong>The</strong>re's no<br />
doubt that the intelligence on<br />
Iraq is still on everybody's<br />
mind," deLeon said.<br />
Both Republican George<br />
H.W. Bush and Democrat<br />
Bill Clinton had U.N.<br />
approval for nearly all <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> volunteers, Raimondo<br />
said, can provide valuable<br />
knowledge in all aspects <strong>of</strong><br />
money management, including<br />
re-financing <strong>of</strong> a mortgage.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y talk about economic<br />
development. This is<br />
economic development...helping<br />
one person out <strong>of</strong> debt at<br />
a time.”<br />
Kristen Rojas, a vice president<br />
with <strong>Pawtucket</strong> Credit<br />
their attacks on Iraq years<br />
earlier. Even in the 2003<br />
invasion, which was ordered<br />
by Republican George W.<br />
Bush, 48 nations supported<br />
the military campaign as a<br />
so-called coalition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
willing. Four nations — the<br />
U.S., Britain, Australia and<br />
Poland — participated in the<br />
invasion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. has relied on<br />
NATO at least three times to<br />
give it broad foreign support<br />
for military missions: in<br />
bombarding Bosnia in 1994<br />
and 1995, attacking Kosovo<br />
with airstrikes in 1999 and<br />
invading Afghanistan in<br />
2001.<br />
Only a few times has the<br />
U.S. acted unilaterally —<br />
and only then to respond to<br />
attacks or direct threats<br />
against Americans.<br />
In 1986, Reagan joined<br />
ordered airstrikes on Libya to<br />
punish then-leader Moammar<br />
Gadhafi for the bombing <strong>of</strong> a<br />
Berlin dance club that killed<br />
two U.S soldiers and wounded<br />
79 other Americans.<br />
Three years later, George<br />
H.W. Bush invaded Panama<br />
<strong>after</strong> dictator Manuel<br />
Noriega declared war on the<br />
U.S. when his drug-trafficking<br />
regime was slapped with<br />
crippling American sanctions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> invasion began<br />
four days <strong>after</strong> a U.S. Marine<br />
was killed in a shooting in<br />
Panama City.<br />
Clinton ordered a missile<br />
strike against Iraq in 1993 as<br />
payback for an assassination<br />
against the elder Bush. And in<br />
1998, Clinton attacked al-<br />
Qaida bases in Sudan and<br />
Afghanistan to retaliate against<br />
U.S. Embassy bombings in<br />
Kenya and Tanzania that killed<br />
more than 200 people.<br />

screens for methadone,<br />

street drug Ecstasy. <strong>The</strong><br />
review said, “In my opinion,<br />
this standard <strong>of</strong> care would<br />
place any patient at risk.”<br />
Patient F, also a female,<br />
died in 2011 with ethyl alcohol,<br />
the painkiller fentanyl and<br />
other drugs in her system. <strong>The</strong><br />
reviewer said the case was<br />
“particularly disturbing”<br />
because the woman had a long<br />
history <strong>of</strong> opioid, cocaine and<br />
alcohol abuse. Despite<br />
Mashali’s awareness <strong>of</strong> her<br />
history <strong>of</strong> abuse and repeated<br />
stints in rehab, “he continued<br />
to give increased doses <strong>of</strong> opioids<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten for a month’s worth<br />
<strong>of</strong> pills at a time.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> disciplinary board, an<br />
arm <strong>of</strong> the state Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Health, <strong>suspended</strong> both<br />
Mashali’s license to practice<br />
and his controlled substances<br />
registration, calling him “an<br />
immediate threat to the<br />
health, welfare and safety <strong>of</strong><br />
the public.” Mashali, who<br />
has retained a lawyer,<br />
according to health <strong>of</strong>ficials,<br />
is entitled to an administrative<br />
hearing within 10 days<br />
to seek the repeal or amendment<br />
<strong>of</strong> the order.<br />
<strong>The</strong> disciplinary panel<br />
instructed Mashali to make<br />
arrangements for the continued<br />
care <strong>of</strong> his patients with<br />
a properly licensed physician.<br />
Union, was one <strong>of</strong> these volunteers,<br />

Obama approved the 2011<br />
raid that killed Osama bin<br />
Laden, who had been considered<br />
a threat potentially<br />
going back to the 1996<br />
bombing <strong>of</strong> the Khobar<br />
Towers in Saudi Arabia that<br />
killed 19 U.S. troops living<br />
there. Additionally, the U.S.<br />
has launched hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />
deadly drone strikes on suspected<br />
al-Qaida havens,<br />
mostly in Pakistan,<br />
Afghanistan and Yemen during<br />
the presidencies <strong>of</strong><br />
Obama and George W. Bush.<br />
All other major U.S. military<br />
attacks since the 1983<br />
Grenada invasion have been<br />
sanctioned by the United<br />
Nations. That includes the<br />
2011 missile strikes that<br />
Obama ordered against Libya<br />
as part <strong>of</strong> a coalition to protect<br />
that nation's citizens by<br />
enforcing a no-fly zone<br />
against Gadhafi forces.<br />
Even the Grenada invasion<br />
had some international<br />
support. Six Caribbean island<br />
countries asked for U.S.<br />
intervention, which the<br />
Reagan administration said<br />
was legal under the charter<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Organization <strong>of</strong><br />
American States. But the<br />
invasion was roundly criticized<br />
by Britain, Canada and<br />
the U.N.<br />
Making the case Friday for<br />
the strikes, Secretary <strong>of</strong> State<br />
John Kerry noted that Turkey,<br />
France and Australia have<br />
condemned the suspected<br />
chemical attacks and said "we<br />
are not alone in our will to do<br />
something about it and to act."<br />
"As previous storms in<br />
history have gathered, when<br />
unspeakable crimes were<br />
within our power to stop<br />
them, we have been warned<br />
against the temptations <strong>of</strong><br />
looking the other way,"<br />
Kerry said. "History is full <strong>of</strong><br />
leaders who have warned<br />
against inaction, indifference<br />
and especially against silence<br />
when it mattered most."<br />
He added: "It matters here<br />
if nothing is done. It matters<br />
if the world speaks out in<br />
condemnation and then nothing<br />
happens."<br />
Some lawmakers in<br />
Obama's party hedged in<br />
supporting an attack with little<br />
foreign backup.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> such a<br />
strike would be weakened if<br />
it does not have the participation<br />
and support <strong>of</strong> a large<br />
number <strong>of</strong> nations, including<br />
Arab nations," Senate Armed<br />
Services chairman Carl<br />
Levin, a Democrat, said.<br />

After bash, city looks forward<br />
Organizers<br />
hope to build<br />

WOONSOCKET – <strong>The</strong><br />
ity’s Main Street business<br />
istrict was largely back to<br />
ormal routines on Friday<br />
nd someone would have to<br />
ave been at the big Block<br />
arty celebrating the 125th<br />
nniversary <strong>of</strong> the city’s<br />
ncorporation Thursday<br />
vening to know just how big<br />
change that was.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 12 stages where<br />
ands and performing acts<br />
ntertained a sea <strong>of</strong> local and<br />
ut-<strong>of</strong>-town people flowing<br />
ike a tide from Market<br />
quare to Monument square<br />
ere dissembled and all the<br />
ooths and temporary faciliies<br />
<strong>of</strong> the city’s one-night<br />
irthday party extravaganza<br />
aken away.<br />
Only the Arch <strong>of</strong> Triumph<br />
reated by local artist Ron<br />
eziel and the 125th<br />
nniversary organizing comittee<br />
remained as a<br />
eminder <strong>of</strong> just how big the<br />
lock Party bash had roared<br />
n Main Street.<br />
But even the Arch was<br />
ecoming a curiosity to peole<br />
walking through the area<br />
ho had not been present<br />
hursday night.<br />
“I don’t know what it is,”<br />
woman found walking<br />
n Main Street with her two<br />
mall children said Friday<br />
fternoon when asked about<br />
he large scaffolding covered<br />
ith panels <strong>of</strong> art depicting<br />
cenes <strong>of</strong> Woonsocket histoy.<br />
“I didn’t really take a<br />
ood look at it,” the woman<br />
aid before moving on with<br />
er kids.<br />
Ashley Pelletier, 25, <strong>of</strong><br />
mithfield, said she also did<br />
ot attend the Anniversary<br />
elebration Thursday but<br />
new the Arch was made for<br />
he event and had watched it<br />

in front, from left, enjoy the music with others in front <strong>of</strong> the main stage as Ray Arruda entertains<br />
during the Main Street Block Party Thursday night.<br />
being put together as she<br />
came to the city each day.<br />
“It looks pretty neat,”<br />
Pelletier said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> arch is expected to<br />
remain at the junction <strong>of</strong><br />
Main and Blackstone streets<br />
for at least another week and<br />
for those who had attended<br />
the Block Party, it might be a<br />
fitting tribute to all the work<br />
that went into planning it.<br />
Ronnie Chaplin, 56, a<br />
1975 graduate <strong>of</strong> the high<br />
school, can see the arch from<br />
the window <strong>of</strong> his apartment<br />
on Main Street and said it<br />
shows how much work went<br />
into the putting on the oneday<br />
city celebration.<br />
“I thought it was very well<br />
planned and very well<br />
orchestrated and fun for<br />
everyone involved,” Chaplin<br />
said. “It gave a good representation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the city what we<br />
are all about and what we<br />
should be all about,” Chaplin,<br />
a patient advocate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> gathering <strong>of</strong> city residents<br />
Thursday night showed<br />
the strength <strong>of</strong> the city’s<br />
diversity, its ability to bring<br />
together a mix <strong>of</strong> different<br />
cultures and different ethnic<br />
groups,” Chaplin said.<br />
That was an improvement<br />
over the days he when he<br />
was a young black teenager<br />
growing up in the city and<br />
you belonged to one group<br />
and someone else belonged<br />
to another, he said.<br />
Chaplin’s late mother,<br />
Mary (Dandy) Chaplin<br />
Watson, had also been aware<br />
<strong>of</strong> the difference in the city in<br />
those days and 50 years ago<br />
this week had joined other<br />
black representatives <strong>of</strong><br />
Rhode Island in the March<br />
on Washington, D.C. where<br />
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther<br />
King gave his “I Have a<br />
Dream” speech on his belief<br />
that everyone in the nation<br />
would someday enjoy freedom<br />
and equality.<br />
“She was from<br />
Woonsocket and you know<br />
that March was really all<br />
about getting to where we are<br />
today,” Chaplin said. <strong>The</strong> city<br />
was a different place back<br />
then, and in some ways, with<br />
all the businesses open on<br />
Main Street and the opportunity<br />
for jobs, it was better <strong>of</strong>f<br />
than it is today with its economic<br />
crisis , he said.<br />
But in other ways, the<br />
city’s has improved from<br />
where it used to be, and that<br />
change has come in a world<br />
that is even more competitive<br />
and economically challenging,<br />
according to Chaplin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arch could be viewed<br />
a symbol <strong>of</strong> the city moving<br />
forward, Chaplin said, for<br />
that reason he hopes it<br />
remains a bit longer.<br />
“At night, it is all lit up<br />
and it is really a pretty thing<br />
and I think they should make<br />
it as some type <strong>of</strong> permanent<br />
gateway into the city,”<br />
Chaplin said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arch may not get that<br />
permanent status just yet, but<br />
Albert G. Beauparlant, basking<br />
a bit on Friday in the success<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Block Party, said<br />
it will remain on display a<br />
while longer due to the interest<br />
in the structure.<br />
Mayor Leo T. Fontaine<br />
has also received a letter<br />
from a couple who would<br />
like to be married under the<br />
Arch and there was plenty <strong>of</strong><br />
additional talk about “what<br />
do we do with the Arch,” on<br />
Friday, Beauparlant said.<br />
“Some people want to keep it<br />
up until Autumnfest,”<br />
Beauparlant said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fountain that had<br />
flowed from the top <strong>of</strong> the<br />
scaffolding structure was<br />
taken down as part <strong>of</strong><br />
Friday’s clean up work and<br />
the Blackstone Street blend<br />
under it reopened to traffic.<br />
Beauparlant said he plans to<br />
tighten up all the art panels<br />
for the next few days <strong>of</strong> display<br />
and is already working<br />
on holding a thank you cook<br />
out for all the volunteers and<br />
supporters <strong>of</strong> the block party<br />
next to it next week.<br />
What was making him feel<br />
best on Friday was the<br />
knowledge everything had<br />
gone well on Thursday with<br />
very few glitches. <strong>The</strong> police<br />
department, which had put on<br />
20 additional patrol members<br />
to provide security for the<br />
event both in the large crowd<br />
on Main Street, made only<br />
one arrest during the event,<br />
according to Police<br />
Department Det. Jamie<br />
Paone. A city man was arrested<br />
during the evening <strong>after</strong> he<br />
jumped into the pool located<br />
at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the Arch’s<br />
waterfall and initially refused<br />
to get out.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man subsequently got<br />
into a scuffle with responding<br />
patrol <strong>of</strong>ficers and was<br />
charged with disorderly conduct<br />
and simple assault,<br />
according to Paone.<br />
Autumnfest will typically<br />
have several disorderly conduct<br />
or refusing to move incidents<br />
when it is underway,<br />
and as a result Paone said the<br />
Anniversary bash could be<br />
viewed as having gone very<br />
well with all the people that<br />
showed up at Main Street for<br />
the late <strong>after</strong>noon and nighttime<br />
celebration.<br />
Beauparlant said his best<br />
memory <strong>of</strong> this year’s Block<br />
Party’s came as the event<br />
closed <strong>after</strong> 11 p.m. and he<br />
and his wife took a golf cart<br />
ride up and down the venue’s<br />
course. <strong>The</strong> couple’s daughter<br />
Ashley had been born <strong>after</strong><br />
the city held its 100th<br />
Anniversary Block Party in<br />
1988 and Beauparlant said<br />
that made the ride 25 years<br />
later one that would be hard<br />
to forget as the couple talked<br />
about the past 25 years.<br />
“People were coming up to us<br />
saying thank you Mr.<br />
Beauparlant for coming back<br />
to make this possible and that<br />
was really a memorable<br />
moment,” he said.<br />

THE TIMES — Saturday, August 31, 2013<br />
For a moment,<br />
it was enough<br />
For a little while on Wednesday, it was<br />
enough.<br />
It was enough to hear civil rights hero<br />
John Lewis insist that this America is better<br />
than the one where his blood spilled for<br />
justice.<br />
"Sometimes I hear people<br />
saying nothing has<br />
changed," he said, "but for<br />
someone to grow up the<br />
way I grew up, in the cotton<br />
fields <strong>of</strong> Alabama, to<br />
now be serving in the<br />
United States Congress<br />
makes me want to tell<br />
them, 'Come and walk in Connie Schultz<br />
my shoes.'"<br />
It was enough to watch the family <strong>of</strong><br />
Martin Luther King Jr. gather around the<br />
bell that once hung in the 16th Street<br />
Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Less<br />
than three weeks <strong>after</strong> King's "I Have a<br />
Dream" speech, three girls died in a bombing<br />
at that church.<br />
"A Negro mother wept in the street<br />
Sunday morning in front <strong>of</strong> a Baptist<br />

standing there. To hear his gratitude for the<br />

Letter to the Editor<br />
Fire chief deserves to be honored<br />
Throughout this spacious and beautiful<br />
nation, there are many buildings, bridges<br />
and monuments honoring the name(s) <strong>of</strong><br />
people who have dedicated their lives for<br />
the good and welfare <strong>of</strong> mankind.<br />
On the other hand, either through politics,<br />
family relations, donations, etc., there<br />
are venues named in honor <strong>of</strong> people less<br />
deserving <strong>of</strong> such honor.<br />
Here in the Blackstone Valley, many<br />
people both past and present have quietly<br />
dedicated their lives for good causes.<br />
Perhaps there are not enough buildings yet<br />
built to recognize these wonderful people.<br />
In Central Falls, the name <strong>of</strong> Rene<br />
Coutu, the beloved Fire Chief <strong>of</strong> our city<br />
for 25 years, comes to mind as a person so<br />
deserving to have his name placed in memory.<br />
Rene's brother firefighters believed in<br />
his leadership, as did the residents <strong>of</strong><br />
Central Falls. He was well respected by his<br />

I am an impatient patriot, loving my<br />
country but always wanting more than the<br />
current state <strong>of</strong> affairs. Often, desperately, I<br />
draw comfort from the late Rev. William<br />
Sloane C<strong>of</strong>fin's words: "<strong>The</strong>re are three<br />
kinds <strong>of</strong> patriots, two bad, one good. <strong>The</strong><br />
bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the<br />
loveless critics.<br />
Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel<br />
with their country, a reflection <strong>of</strong> God's<br />
lover's quarrel with all the world."<br />
For hours before the president walked<br />
onto the steps <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Lincoln</strong> Memorial,<br />
one famous American <strong>after</strong> another walked<br />
to the microphone and, for the most part,<br />
gave a version <strong>of</strong> the same speech.<br />
I watched the steady stream <strong>of</strong> speakers<br />
and thought about how easy it is to feel<br />
ordinary and ineffective these days in our<br />
culture <strong>of</strong> celebrity.<br />
If you weren't invited to be onstage, if<br />
you didn't have the schedule or the money<br />
to travel to Washington this week, was it<br />
harder to think you, too, can make a difference?<br />
"Not everybody can be famous," Martin<br />
Luther King Jr. said, "but everybody can be<br />
great because greatness is determined by<br />
service." I've listened at least a hundred<br />
times to someone else deliver that quotation,<br />
and every time, I hear it a bit differently.<br />
What is service? What is the definition<br />
<strong>of</strong> greatness?<br />
On Wednesday, millions <strong>of</strong> regular<br />
Americans paused to ask such questions, <strong>of</strong><br />
their country and themselves.<br />
For every person who felt the push to<br />
get back into the march, it was enough.<br />

His name truly deserves to be honored<br />
and a venue named in his memory. A small<br />

a tale <strong>of</strong> two leaders<br />
A speech at the <strong>Lincoln</strong> Memorial, on<br />
the 50th anniversary <strong>of</strong> perhaps the greatest<br />
American speech since <strong>Lincoln</strong> breathed<br />
his last, is a speechwriter’s nightmare. It is<br />
comparable to crafting Memorial Day<br />
remarks for delivery at Gettysburg, or coming<br />
up with a new angle for a speech at<br />
Pointe du Hoc. <strong>The</strong> historical stage is<br />
already fully occupied. It is like lighting a<br />
bonfire on the surface <strong>of</strong><br />
the sun.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rev. Martin<br />
Luther King’s “I have a<br />
dream” speech was not<br />
only an example <strong>of</strong><br />
skilled rhetoric; it was<br />
also a moment <strong>of</strong> culmination.<br />
It was the culmination<br />
<strong>of</strong> a literary form:<br />
Michael Gerson<br />
African American<br />
preaching — practiced<br />
by four generations <strong>of</strong><br />
the King family — with its weaving <strong>of</strong> the<br />
King James cadences, folk spirituals and<br />
patriotic texts. It was the culmination <strong>of</strong><br />
America’s defining historical struggle: a<br />
century <strong>of</strong> African American demands for<br />
the fulfillment <strong>of</strong> national promises made<br />
at emancipation, betrayed during<br />
Reconstruction and mocked by segregation.<br />
And it was the culmination <strong>of</strong> a distinctly<br />
American type <strong>of</strong> leadership: the revolutionary<br />
conservative. <strong>The</strong> speech managed<br />
to be both radical and reassuring —<br />
demanding freedom now, precisely because<br />
our founding ideals admitted no other<br />
course.<br />
This fulfillment <strong>of</strong> craft, history and<br />
leadership seemed less like a speech than a<br />
birth, or, more precisely, the kind <strong>of</strong> national<br />
rebirth that also took place at<br />
Gettysburg. Both <strong>Lincoln</strong> and King demonstrated<br />
the most remarkable power <strong>of</strong> rhetoric:<br />
the power <strong>of</strong> trauma given meaning.<br />
Both summarized and summoned forces<br />
beyond themselves. Georg Friedrich Hegel<br />
talked <strong>of</strong> a “world spirit” that mediates universal<br />
ideals through the instrument <strong>of</strong><br />
great men. King and his contemporaries<br />
saw a different spirit at work. Before his<br />
<strong>Lincoln</strong> Memorial speech, an aide told<br />
King, “Look, Martin, let the Lord lead you.<br />
You go on and do what the Spirit say do.”<br />
During President Obama’s <strong>Lincoln</strong><br />
Memorial speech, he affirmed that “no one<br />
can match King’s brilliance.” And the president<br />
wisely did not try. But his speech<br />
showed signs <strong>of</strong> serious craft. Obama paid<br />
homage to King’s cadences — “Because<br />
they kept marching ...” — without straining<br />
to compete with them. He found a way to<br />
mention his own historical role — “and,<br />
yes, eventually the White House changed”<br />
— without sounding messianic. And he<br />
subtly downplayed comparisons to King by<br />

drawing attention to the movement that<br />
produced the March on Washington —<br />
“men and women without rank or wealth or<br />
title or fame” who would “liberate us all.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> most instructive contrast is not<br />
between two speeches separated by half a<br />
century but between two leaders. In 1963,<br />
King was introduced by A. Philip<br />
Randolph as “the moral leader <strong>of</strong> the<br />
nation.” Obama is a successful but polarizing<br />
Democratic politician. King sought to<br />
focus and sharpen ethical choices; Obama<br />
takes pride in seeing moral complexities.<br />
King set out a millennial vision <strong>of</strong> equality<br />
and national healing; Obama talks <strong>of</strong> health<br />
reform, the minimum wage and helping the<br />
middle class.<br />
This shift in leadership is, itself, a kind<br />
<strong>of</strong> historical fulfillment. No president can<br />
be a millenarian moralist in the same way a<br />
preacher can. <strong>The</strong> nation would quickly<br />
grow tired <strong>of</strong> trumpet calls and church<br />
bells. With great power come mundane<br />
responsibilities.<br />
But Obama’s speech showed some <strong>of</strong> his<br />
signature weaknesses in the discharge <strong>of</strong><br />
those responsibilities. His tone was inclusive<br />
and gracious — until he considered his<br />
political opponents. <strong>The</strong>y marshal “an army<br />
<strong>of</strong> lobbyists and opinion makers” to undermine<br />
the interests <strong>of</strong> working families.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y tell us that greed is “good,” and<br />
“compassion ineffective,” and that those<br />
without jobs or health care have “only<br />
themselves to blame.” What possessed the<br />
president, in the midst <strong>of</strong> a fine speech, to<br />
employ language appropriate to the<br />
Democratic National Convention?<br />
However accurate or inaccurate you regard<br />
these charges, it is not a good sign when<br />
polarization seeps into ceremonial celebrations.<br />
Another weakness was also on display.<br />
President Obama is correct in his diagnosis<br />
<strong>of</strong> the economic challenge that lies beyond<br />
legal equality: “Upward mobility has<br />
become harder.”<br />
And he is correct in identifying the<br />
drags on mobility — failed education, broken<br />
families and the structural problems<br />
caused by technology and globalization.<br />
But his time in <strong>of</strong>fice so far will hardly be<br />
remembered as a period <strong>of</strong> innovation in<br />
encouraging opportunity and the creation<br />
<strong>of</strong> social capital. <strong>The</strong> president can blame<br />
Republican obstruction. But that does not<br />
explain the general absence <strong>of</strong> creative policy.<br />
As the president said, we have traveled<br />
far since the March on Washington, only to<br />
arrive at different challenges. But our politics<br />
seems unequal to them on every side.<br />

Water cooler in dining room<br />

DEAR ABBY<br />
Jeanne Phillips<br />
DEAR ABBY:<br />
I’m 15 and my brother is<br />
19. He still lives at home and<br />
recently acquired a water<br />
cooler — the kind you see in<br />
<strong>doctor</strong>s’ <strong>of</strong>fices. He has it sitting<br />
in the dining room and,<br />
frankly, I hate it! It’s unsightly<br />
and unnecessary.<br />
My parents allow it to stay<br />
there. <strong>The</strong>y have never cared<br />
much about how their house<br />
looks. I do most <strong>of</strong> the cleaning.<br />
Is there any way I can<br />
convince them to remove the<br />
water cooler? It’s not the<br />
kind you see in home magazines.<br />

water cooler would be placed<br />
in a kitchen. However, if<br />
there isn’t room for it in your<br />
parents’ kitchen, and meals<br />
are shared in the dining<br />
room, that’s the logical place<br />
for it. I can’t see why the<br />
water cooler would embarrass<br />
you. Most people’s<br />
homes don’t resemble the layouts<br />
you see in magazines.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are an “ideal” folks aim<br />
for until reality compels them<br />
to organize their living space<br />
in a way that conforms to<br />
their needs and budgets,<br />
rather than their desires.<br />
DEAR ABBY:<br />
I have been dating my<br />
boyfriend for three years. We<br />
get along well, but he has the<br />
most annoying habit <strong>of</strong> gnawing<br />
his fingernails. It is constant,<br />
and he hardly has any<br />
left. I find it repulsive and<br />
embarrassing when we’re out<br />
in public.<br />
I have asked him repeatedly<br />
to stop. He says he has<br />
done it all his life and I<br />
should stop nagging. If it<br />
were the other way around<br />
and I knew something I did<br />
bothered him, I’d try my best<br />
not to do it because I loved<br />
him. I know most people<br />
have habits, and this is more<br />
<strong>of</strong> an addiction. What can I<br />
say to make him stop?<br />
— BITING OFF TOO<br />
MUCH IN S. CAROLINA<br />
DEAR BITING: Nail-biting<br />
is typically related to<br />
stress and anxiety. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
ways to stop, and he should<br />
talk about it with his <strong>doctor</strong>.<br />
Beyond suggesting that he<br />
make an appointment, nothing<br />
you can say will “make”<br />
your boyfriend change his<br />
behavior. Because you find<br />
the habit repulsive and<br />
embarrassing, the question<br />
it’s time to ask yourself is<br />
whether it’s a deal-breaker,<br />
and no one can answer that<br />
but you.<br />
DEAR ABBY:<br />
I am 20 years old and have<br />
been in a relationship since I<br />
was 15. I never had a childhood.<br />
At 14 I became an<br />
adult and never got to experience<br />
any teenage freedom. I<br />
realize now that I’m not<br />
ready to settle down with anyone,<br />
but I know he is. I am<br />
unhappy, but I’m afraid <strong>of</strong><br />
hurting him.<br />
I am the type <strong>of</strong> person<br />
who would hurt myself before<br />
I hurt anyone else. I think<br />
I’m ready to experience life<br />
as a separate individual, but I<br />
don’t know how to tell him.<br />
He always said this would<br />
happen, but I denied it. Now<br />
I realize he was right. I don’t<br />
know how to start the conversation.<br />
Please help me.<br />
— NOT READY TO SET-<br />
TLE DOWN<br />
DEAR NOT READY: You<br />
are the type <strong>of</strong> person who<br />
would hurt yourself before<br />
you hurt anyone else? While<br />
that is altruistic to the max, it<br />
is a dangerous way to live<br />
your life. In a case like this,<br />
better HE should cry for a<br />
short time than YOU should<br />
cry for the next decade or so.<br />
A way to start the conversation<br />
would be to say: “We<br />
need to talk, and I need to be<br />
honest with you. You were<br />
right when you said this<br />
wouldn’t last — and I was<br />
immature and inexperienced<br />
when I said you were wrong.”<br />

Horoscope<br />
By HOLIDAY MATHIS<br />
ARIES (March 21-April 19).<br />
You’ll generously volunteer your<br />
compassion and support to victims<br />
<strong>of</strong> inner turmoil. How do<br />
you spot them? Easily. It’s readily<br />
apparent in the disarray surrounding<br />
them.<br />
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).<br />
Nothing you do in relationships<br />
is a waste <strong>of</strong> time if you are paying<br />
attention. However the relationship<br />
develops (or doesn’t),<br />
you are learning and growing<br />
wiser with each interaction.<br />
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).<br />
People tend to fight the hardest<br />
about trivial things and will<br />
spend a great deal <strong>of</strong> time on<br />
matters <strong>of</strong> little or no consequence.<br />
This quirk <strong>of</strong> human<br />
nature will be well represented<br />
in today’s focus on minor issues.<br />
CANCER (June 22-July 22).<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s no point in torturing<br />
yourself with thoughts about<br />
your past mistakes. Let them go<br />
— all <strong>of</strong> them. Every living person<br />
on the planet is a work in<br />
progress. Ease up on yourself.<br />
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).<br />
You’ll start a conversation, keep<br />
it going strong until its natural<br />
conclusion and leave a positive<br />
impression. This is no small task<br />
considering how many people<br />
around you are having communication<br />
problems lately.<br />
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).<br />
One thing that keeps you strong<br />
is that you regularly lift what’s<br />
heavy. This is true figuratively,<br />
too. In the middle <strong>of</strong> the act, you<br />
may wonder why you took on<br />
such a heavy load. But when it’s<br />
over, you’re better for it.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).<br />
Your mission to spread joy will<br />
go very well today. And if you<br />
didn’t realize that was the mission<br />
you were on, you’ll see it in<br />
the smiling eyes <strong>of</strong> your many<br />
fans.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).<br />
Maybe the losses <strong>of</strong> the past<br />
weren’t really losses at all.<br />
Maybe they were what you had<br />
to let go <strong>of</strong> to embrace the current<br />
you. A change in your historical<br />
perspective will change<br />
everything.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-<br />
Dec. 21). A mess is really just a<br />
pile <strong>of</strong> potential building material<br />
for your next project. Whether<br />
the resources are physical or<br />
psychic, you’ll spend most <strong>of</strong> the<br />
day organizing them well.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.<br />
19). Instead <strong>of</strong> pondering your<br />
last incarnation or dreaming<br />
about who you’ll be in the<br />
future, give your full attention<br />
and care to the magnificent<br />
being staring back at you in the<br />
mirror.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.<br />
18). If you want to prove a point,<br />
you’ll find the evidence you<br />
need to prove it — whether or<br />
not the point is correct. Before<br />
you go to any trouble, make sure<br />
your stance is worth getting<br />
behind.<br />
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).<br />
Relationships cannot mature<br />
unless the people in them do.<br />
Since you can’t mature for your<br />
partner, just know that any work<br />
you do to become more loving<br />
or to increase your understanding<br />
<strong>of</strong> the world will help things.<br />

DiSarcina discusses value <strong>of</strong> playing multiple positions<br />
By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />
bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />
PAWTUCKET — It was a warm late June night and first<br />
itch at McCoy Stadium was still several hours away. Up in<br />
he press box, a number <strong>of</strong> baseball scouts had gathered for<br />
ome friendly chatter that ranged from strengths and weakesses<br />
<strong>of</strong> particular players to each one’s travel log <strong>of</strong> minoreague<br />
ballparks.<br />
Curious about the lineups, one scout turned his head left to<br />
here they were posted in a plastic case on the wall. He<br />
hought his eyes were playing tricks on him, the result <strong>of</strong> seeng<br />
‘RF’ next to Jackie Bradley Jr.’s name, not the customary<br />
CF’ that came to define the prospect.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scout produced a look on his face that could have been<br />
urmised with a cartoon bubble featuring some tweaking to<br />
ince Lombardi’s famous “What the (heck’s) going on here?”<br />
ideline rant. Why was Bradley, a center fielder by trade, linng<br />
up at a different outfield position? Wouldn’t the 23-yearld<br />
– and all minor-league position players for that matter – be<br />
etter suited to concentrate on one defensive spot rather than<br />
taring into the batter’s box from what could be described as a<br />
oreign vantage point?<br />

According to one American League scout, the practice <strong>of</strong><br />
introducing players to a different defensive side <strong>of</strong> baseball<br />
life while in the minors dates stems from a conundrum the<br />
Minnesota Twins ran into when Denard Span came on the<br />
scene in 2008. In the Twins’ farm system was where Span had<br />
made his bones as a center fielder.<br />
Already buoyed by a Gold Glove center fielder in Torii<br />
Hunter, Minnesota sent Span out to right field for his first big<br />
league game. Keep in mind that Span’s debut came with the<br />
Metrodome’s white ro<strong>of</strong> hanging over his head.<br />
“(Minnesota manager Ron) Gardenhire asked Span if he<br />
had ever played right field. He said no. All <strong>of</strong> a sudden it’s<br />

Mickelson’s star power shines brightest in Norton, Mass.<br />
Phil Mickelson<br />
Lefty grabs share <strong>of</strong> first-round lead <strong>of</strong> Deutsche Bank Championship<br />
NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Phil Mickelson keeps saying how<br />
much he loves playing with Tiger Woods. He shot 63 at the Deutsche<br />
Bank Championship to prove it.<br />
In a feature grouping <strong>of</strong> the top three players in the world ranking,<br />
Mickelson turned in the star performance Friday morning with a 28<br />
that allowed him to consider — but only briefly — another shot at 59.<br />
By the end <strong>of</strong> the day, when he played a risky shot from deep in<br />
the trees on his final hole to salvage bogey, he was happy to have a<br />
share <strong>of</strong> the lead. Mickelson was tied with Brian Davis, who made a<br />
25-foot birdie putt on the last hole to join him at 8-under 63.<br />
"What Phil did today was pretty impressive," Woods said <strong>after</strong> a<br />
68 that only seemed worse considering the company he kept.<br />
Masters champion Adam Scott, rounding out the 1-2-3 pairing,<br />
struggled to a 73 and joked later that he rolled out <strong>of</strong> the wrong side<br />
<strong>of</strong> the bed. "I wish could have gotten in their jet stream," Scott said.<br />
Mickelson did everything right.<br />
He started his round on the TPC Boston by making birdie putts <strong>of</strong><br />
20 feet on No. 10 and 30 feet on No. 11. He ended the front nine with<br />
five straight birdies, only the second nine-hole score <strong>of</strong> 28 on the<br />
PGA Tour this year. And even <strong>after</strong> a bogey from the bunker on No.<br />
1, he hit a 6-iron from 213 yards that settled just more than a foot<br />

CENTRAL FALLS — Tolman High head coach<br />
Jack Coutu chose not to play senior goalie and quadcaptain<br />
Adam Ghazal long before the start <strong>of</strong> the Tigers'<br />
R.I. Injury Fund “game” against archrival Shea on<br />
Friday night.<br />
He did so as a precaution, not to mention a safety<br />
measure.<br />
“I was worried about the field,” Coutu indicated <strong>of</strong><br />
the uneven, dusty Macomber Stadium surface minutes<br />
before the scrimmage, one designed to raise money for<br />
the Rhode Island Interscholastic League for injury/insurance<br />
reasons and also give squads statewide an opportunity<br />
to face live competition.<br />
“This games means nothing; Adam is still coming <strong>of</strong>f<br />
an ACL injury, one he tore in a play<strong>of</strong>f game against<br />
South Kingstown last year,” he added. “As long as he's<br />
ready to play SK in the season opener (on Friday, Sept.<br />
6), that's all I care about. He's a premier goalie.”<br />
Despite a 1-0 loss to the Raiders, Coutu liked what he<br />
saw from his crew, which should battle usual Division I<br />
stalwarts Central Falls, Barrington, Portsmouth, North<br />
Kingstown and Shea for the top few spots and a play<strong>of</strong>f<br />
berth once the campaign begins.<br />
“I was just hoping to see improvement from our<br />
scrimmage against Moses Brown on Tuesday,” Coutu<br />
stated <strong>after</strong> the tilt, the first <strong>of</strong> a “twinbill” (Central Falls<br />
edged Providence Country Day, 2-1, in the nightcap).<br />
“We're trying to get better each and every day. <strong>The</strong> good<br />
news was I didn't see the same mistakes I had against<br />
(the Quakers).<br />
“I thought (senior quad-captains) Sebastian Estrada<br />
and Ibrahima Maie played great in the midfield, which<br />
is a new position for both <strong>of</strong> them,” he continued. “I was<br />
See INJURY FUND, page C2<br />
away for eagle on the next hole. That put him at 8 under for his round<br />
with seven holes to play.<br />
"It was a good start," Mickelson said. "I got <strong>of</strong>f to a great front<br />
nine and somewhat stalled on the back. But <strong>after</strong> shooting 7 under the<br />
first nine, it was going to be a good round as long as I didn't mess it<br />
up."<br />
He tried. Mickelson ended his brilliant round with two words:<br />
"Oh, no." He hit a snap-hook <strong>of</strong>f the ninth tee, so far right that it<br />
missed the fairway by some 40 yards and went so deep in the woods<br />
that fans could barely see Mickelson ducking and weaving through<br />
the branches to find his ball.<br />
He decided against a one-shot penalty drop out <strong>of</strong> the lateral hazard,<br />
fearing the slope would roll the ball too close to the branches and<br />
restrict his swing.<br />
"Just give me an 8- or a 9-iron," he told his caddie, Jim "Bones"<br />
Mackay. He was ready to hack away when his caddie reminded him<br />
the gallery was still in the way. Choking well up the grip, flattening<br />
the swing to avoid limbs, Mickelson chopped it out to the rough and<br />
still had 210 yards left. He knocked that one on the green and twoputted<br />
for his bogey and a 63.<br />

Playing multiple positions adds value<br />
Continued from page C1<br />
like ‘I’ve got to get this guy in the lineup,’”<br />
the scout shared. “Granted the kid was athletic<br />
enough to do it, but <strong>after</strong> that, it seemed<br />
to me that everybody was a utility guy.”<br />
<strong>Pawtucket</strong> manager Gary DiSarcina<br />
experienced his own Denard Span moment<br />
on June 6,1990. After logging 12 straight<br />
games at shortstop, the Angels re-positioned<br />
DiSarcina at second base so that<br />
Dick Sch<strong>of</strong>ield could return to his natural<br />
position <strong>after</strong> beginning the season on the<br />
disabled list.<br />
“I was overwhelmed and numb,”<br />
recalled Disarcina, who was exclusively a<br />
shortstop in the Angels’ farm system. “Our<br />
position coach had me out at second base<br />
teaching me how to turn a double play in<br />
Kansas City in the big leagues, and I’m<br />
thinking, ‘Oh my God.’”<br />
***<br />
A couple <strong>of</strong> years <strong>after</strong> Span’s horizons<br />
were broadened out <strong>of</strong> necessity, the same<br />
scout was in Syracuse for an eight-game<br />
stretch. Just one player on the home team –<br />
Justin Maxwell – played the same outfield<br />
position all eight games.<br />
When you observe numerous players<br />
getting shuffled around the diamond over<br />
the course <strong>of</strong> pretty significant sample size,<br />
the more it becomes clearer that the days <strong>of</strong><br />
pegging a guy strictly as a shortstop or a<br />
center fielder are in the rear view mirror.<br />
Along the same waive length, the placing<br />
<strong>of</strong> an “additional tool in the tool box” –<br />
a phase DiSarcina has used on multiple<br />
occasions this season – has become a staple<br />
<strong>of</strong> the minor-league culture. <strong>The</strong> scout<br />
noted that even the lower levels have<br />
become just as sophisticated in handing an<br />
outfielder a first baseman’s mitt, for example,<br />
as the Triple-A ranks, though that’s not<br />
to say you can’t teach a player new tricks<br />
just because he stands one level away from<br />
the majors.<br />
Bradley is far from the only PawSox<br />
position player to see time someplace other<br />
than his customary spot this season. Jose<br />
Iglesias and Xander Bogaerts are gifted<br />
shortstops by trade, yet such technicalities<br />
didn’t prevent the Red Sox from sliding<br />
either one over to third base. Longtime outfielder<br />
Alex Hassan has played 10 games at<br />
first base.<br />
To DiSarcina, having a player add a<br />
position to his portfolio at the minor league<br />
level contains one obvious merit – it helps<br />
to eliminate the kind <strong>of</strong> on-the-job training<br />
that himself and Span were forced to<br />
endure upon reaching the top <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
baseball’s pyramid.<br />
“I don’t want these guys to have that feeling,”<br />
DiSarcina said. “It’s not fair. I didn’t<br />
like it as a player, and I don’t want them to<br />
have that feeling. And I was playing in<br />
California on a second-tier team. <strong>The</strong>se guys<br />
are playing in Boston in a big market with<br />
everyone watching. And first impressions<br />
mean everything, so get all those firsts taken<br />
care <strong>of</strong> here. Make all your mistakes here.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> same scout who told about Span’s<br />
“Welcome to <strong>The</strong> Show” moment backed<br />
DiSarcina’s thoughts when he said, “(<strong>The</strong><br />
majors) isn’t the place to learn.”<br />
***<br />
From the player’s perspective, not being<br />
pigeonholed as a one-dimensional defender<br />
is a distinguishable trait that can only<br />
increase one’s worth to those entrusted with<br />
the responsibility <strong>of</strong> forming a balanced<br />
major-league roster.<br />
“To be able to play all three (outfield)<br />
spots is good because they’re able to move<br />
you around depending on what they want<br />
to do with you,” said Bradley, who has<br />
played seven games in right field and four<br />
in left field for <strong>Pawtucket</strong> this season.<br />
Speaking about his own personal dealings,<br />
Bradley expressed that manning the<br />
corner outfield positions has proven advantageous.<br />
“You definitely see things from a different<br />
perspective and you have to act accordingly<br />
with certain plays,” he noted. “You’re<br />
not going to make the same throws from<br />
left field to home plate that you would from<br />
center field or right. Communicating your<br />
role when you’re on the corners also<br />
changes. You’re no longer the head honcho<br />
like you are in center, so you have to have a<br />
little giving.<br />
“If you’re willing to make the adjustments,<br />
it can be fun,” Bradley continued.<br />
“Center field is where I’m in my comfort<br />
zone and at first it kind <strong>of</strong> works hand and<br />
hand with <strong>of</strong>fense at first. Sometimes you<br />
may not feel like you’re at your best<br />
because you’re not in your spot. After an atbat<br />
you’re thinking about going to a position<br />
that you’re not quite as used to, but all<br />
you can focus on is to keep working and<br />
improving every single day.”<br />
Not to mention continue to take steps<br />
that will enable up-and-coming players to<br />
avoid the same fish-out-<strong>of</strong>-water moment<br />
that Span and DiSarcina were forced to<br />
confront.<br />

Injury Fund matches draw local teams to C.F.’s Macomber Stadium<br />

very impressed with them, and the team as a whole played well.<br />
We lost five starters from last year, and – in soccer – that's a lot.<br />
We'll see how the kids do as the season progresses.<br />
“Our goal is to make the play<strong>of</strong>fs, as always. We need to<br />
improve from game to game, and also practice to practice. Overall,<br />
I'm pleased.”<br />
In Injury Fund contests, regardless <strong>of</strong> the foes or the sites, each<br />
team plays 20-minute halves; the idea is to prepare all for the rigors<br />
<strong>of</strong> competitive action.<br />
On this night, the Tigers held the Raiders at bay until the 18th<br />
minute; that's when sophomore defender Sergio Lopes drilled a<br />
high, 35-yard liner over the head <strong>of</strong> junior Andres Cordoba and<br />
under the crossbar for the game's lone tally.<br />
It seemed Tolman would even the score approximately seven<br />
minutes into the final half <strong>after</strong> Maie ripped a right corner kick at<br />
Shea junior keeper Alex Andrade, but the ball rolled through the<br />
box. Two hustling Tigers failed to place a foot on it.<br />
Cordoba, by the way, faced eight shots and closed with seven<br />
saves. Andrade finished with a pair.<br />

“We lost two defensive starters last year to graduation, and<br />
we're trying to replace them, so I'm expecting a lot from (seniors)<br />
Kyle Martins and Calle,” Coutu noted. “I'm hoping to see big<br />
things from both <strong>of</strong> them.”<br />
As for veteran Shea mentor Pierre Ridore, he wanted to see<br />
progress from his squad – and did.<br />
“I wanted us to move the ball well, not to hold it and wait for a<br />
defender to get on them, and for our players to find the open<br />
spaces,” he said. “I told them beforehand to move the ball, have<br />
some fun and try to build some chemistry.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> first 20 minutes (one in which the Raiders outshot their<br />
rivals, 6-1) weren't that great,” he added. “We didn't seem in sync,<br />
but as we relaxed and calmed down, we moved the ball more<br />
strongly … I would say our center midfielders (seniors Edson<br />
Ferrer and Michael Lopes) definitely got better. I thought they built<br />
some chemistry, especially since this is their first year there. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
played defense last year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y're starting to learn how to play that position, and it<br />
showed as the game progressed.”<br />
Last season, Ridore's bunch dropped a decision to upset-minded<br />
Cumberland in the Division I quarterfinals, and he'd desperately<br />
like to see his team make a deeper run.<br />
“If we keep playing together and learning how to play as a<br />
team, not individually, I believe we can go far,” Ridore indicated.<br />
“It all depends on how hard they're willing to work. <strong>The</strong>y're doing<br />
that now, so if that attitude and worth ethic continues, we should be<br />
alright.”<br />
***<br />
In the Warriors' tilt against PCD, they outshot the Knights, 13-3;<br />
they nevertheless faced a 1-0 halftime deficit. With about seven<br />
minutes left in that initial stanza, senior Tom Horvatt whacked a<br />
low shot at junior Sergio Riveria, who allowed it to squire through<br />
his legs.<br />
On the positive side, CF dominated the second session with<br />
eight shots, and two found the back <strong>of</strong> the net.<br />
With 12:50 left in regulation, senior quad-captain Alexi Flores<br />
delivered a superb pass from the left at fellow captain Jean<br />
Urquiza, but Tucker Wray dove to his right and poked it outside<br />
the left post.<br />
Just 10 seconds later, junior striker Keller Pina evened the score<br />
when his poke deflected <strong>of</strong>f a Knight.<br />
Classmate Kember Garcia assisted on the tally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warriors claimed the lead for good about 60 ticks later,<br />
when Urquiza roped a feed from Flores past Wray (six saves).<br />
“I wanted to see the kids move the ball, counter-attack, position<br />
themselves well and attack the net, but there wasn't much <strong>of</strong> that in<br />
the first half,” CF head coach Carl Africo mentioned. “I told the<br />
kids at the break they had to shoot more. <strong>The</strong>y were looking for the<br />
pretty goal instead <strong>of</strong> putting it on net.<br />
“When they scored (<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Riveria), that was just a keeper<br />
error,” he added. “It went five-hole … I also wanted to see how our<br />
kids played this field. This is the first time this year we've been on<br />
it, and it doesn't have the same width as we're used to. It's only at<br />
about 60 yards, and I like to play on a 120 (yard) by 80 (yard) field<br />
to utilize our quickness.<br />
He claimed the reason for the slight shortening was because <strong>of</strong><br />
the baseball mound closest to the east goal, the same side in which<br />
the Warriors opened the game.<br />
“Once we switched sides, we were able to open it more, play<br />
more to our style,” he stated. “I thought every one <strong>of</strong> our kids<br />
played well. If there's one thing I can say, most years – at the<br />
Division I open meeting – coaches will say that CF lost too many<br />
seniors, and would be down. In years past, we usually go about 14<br />
deep in terms <strong>of</strong> quality players, with the rest being functional subs.<br />
“This year, I have at least 17,” he continued. “I have a group <strong>of</strong><br />
four strikers, and I could start any two and be happy with the result.<br />
<strong>The</strong> same goes for our seven midfielders. I could play any four,<br />
and know I'd see solid play.”<br />
He nevertheless admitted one weakness could be in net. Both<br />
senior Jonathan Ortiz (one save in final half) and junior Riveria<br />
(two) have some experience, but not as much as Africo would<br />
like.<br />

Henry’s hit helps PawSox clinch division title<br />
By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />
bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />
PAWTUCKET – It was about 11 a.m. Friday when Gary<br />
iSarcina received a text message from Justin Henry, a player who<br />
ccording to the PawSox skipper, “has had a rough year. He was a<br />
300 hitter in Toledo last year, but he’s one <strong>of</strong> the best teammates<br />
ut there.”<br />
Henry had a simple request. His mother was in town and was<br />
ondering if it was possible for DiSarcina to include him in the<br />
ineup for that night’s game against Syracuse.<br />
“I had made the lineup out, but as I’ve told the guys from the<br />
ery beginning <strong>of</strong> the year, whether we’re home or on the road, if<br />
ou’re family or parents are in town, we’ll get you in,” was the<br />
romise DiSarcina has managed to keep. “Justin’s mom has been in<br />
own the past four days.”<br />
With a special set <strong>of</strong> eyes looking on, Henry played the role <strong>of</strong><br />
ero as <strong>Pawtucket</strong> is heading to the Governors’ Cup play<strong>of</strong>fs for the<br />
hird straight season, a franchise first. Henry’s two-out single in the<br />
bottom <strong>of</strong> ninth plated speedster Quintin Berry with the North<br />
Division-clinching run as the PawSox gave the 11,017 fans an additional<br />
reason to cheer following a thrilling 2-1 walk-<strong>of</strong>f win over the<br />
Chiefs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> division title is the seventh in PawSox history and the second<br />
in three seasons. <strong>The</strong> defending Governors’ Cup champions<br />
will open the 2013 play<strong>of</strong>fs on the road next Wednesday at either<br />
Norfolk or Rochester. <strong>The</strong> first two games <strong>of</strong> the best-<strong>of</strong>-five opening<br />
round will take place in the other team’s ballpark before the<br />
locals return home next Friday for Game 3.<br />
If needed, Game 4 will take place next Saturday and Game 5 a<br />
week from this coming Sunday.<br />
As he enjoyed a cigar in his <strong>of</strong>fice, DiSarcina reflected on<br />
Henry’s contribution. <strong>The</strong> utility player took a .209 average into<br />
Friday’s action.<br />
“Great team win,” he stated. “When Justin got that hit, I was<br />
thinking, ‘This is what it’s all about.’A true pr<strong>of</strong>essional and a great<br />
teammate.”<br />
Berry helped set the stage for Henry’s heroics with a walk and a<br />
stolen base. With the count 1-1, Henry laced a single to center that<br />
ended the contest and set in motion a jubilant scene <strong>of</strong> enthusiastic<br />
PawSox ballplayers and coaching members.<br />
<strong>The</strong> win goes to Anthony Ranaudo, who made his first-ever<br />
relief appearance as a pr<strong>of</strong>essional following 59 consecutive starts.<br />
Following Clay Buchholz, Jose De La Torre and Alex Wilson,<br />
Ranaudo tossed four hitless innings with five strikeouts and one<br />
walk.<br />
“He struggled with his fastball up in the zone in the beginning <strong>of</strong><br />
his outing, but he settled down and absolutely pitched his heart out,”<br />
said DiSarcina.<br />
Speaking <strong>of</strong> Wilson, the right-hander tossed a scoreless fifth<br />
inning, throwing eight <strong>of</strong> his 10 pitches for strikes. It was Wilson’s<br />
first appearance on the mound since Aug. 9. Another rehabber,<br />
Brandon Snyder, played seven innings at third base and 1-for-3.<br />
Prior to the game, the PawSox that closer Anthony Carter was<br />
chosen as the team’s Most Valuable Pitcher and that catcher Dan<br />
Butler had distinguished himself enough to win Team MVP honors.<br />

Buchholz takes ‘step forward’ in rehab start<br />
By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />
bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />
PAWTUCKET – Clay<br />
uchholz classified his 3.1-<br />
nning stint at McCoy Stadium<br />
n Friday as a step forward.<br />
“Tonight, I was much more<br />
mpressed with the velocity that<br />
was able to sustain over the<br />
eriod I was out there and being<br />
ble to throw all my pitches<br />
ith the same effort level and<br />
rm angle,” said Buchholz <strong>after</strong><br />
cattering seven hits and allowng<br />
one run against Syracuse.<br />
That was basically the final<br />
ump I had to get over as far as<br />
ot having a second thought in<br />
he back <strong>of</strong> my head. It was<br />
bout getting my release point<br />
own on all my pitches.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact that none <strong>of</strong><br />
uchholz’s pitches resulted in<br />
ny sort <strong>of</strong> discomfort is reason<br />
o believe that the All-Star<br />
itcher is no longer dealing<br />
ith the neck-related maladies<br />
hat transformed a Cy Youngaliber<br />
campaign into one he<br />
opes that he’s able to salvage.<br />
uchholz led all <strong>of</strong> Major<br />
eague Baseball with a 1.71<br />
RA and was tied for first in<br />
ins (nine) when he landed on<br />
he disabled list on June 18<br />
retroactive to June 9).<br />
“(Working) out <strong>of</strong> the stretch<br />
s my the only uncomfortable<br />
pot right now. I don’t feel real<br />
alanced in the stretch,”<br />
uchholz said in response to a<br />
eporter asking about the delibrate<br />
pace he featured at times<br />
Friday night. “It’s something<br />
that I’m trying to get a comfort<br />
level with since most <strong>of</strong> my<br />
rehab appearances have been<br />
out <strong>of</strong> the stretch.”<br />
Asked if he needed a third<br />
rehab start, Buchholz nodded<br />
his head in the affirmative. <strong>The</strong><br />
venue for next Wednesday’s<br />
appearance will depend on the<br />
play<strong>of</strong>f schedule <strong>of</strong> Boston’s<br />
minor-league affiliates. Another<br />
factor to take under advisement<br />
is that Buchholz and his wife<br />
Lindsay are expecting the couple’s<br />
second child sometime<br />
next week.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> next time out, I can<br />
amp up the pitch count to 75-<br />
80 and hopefully that gets me<br />
through five innings,” said<br />
Buchholz, who is targeting<br />
Sept. 10 in Tampa Bay as his<br />
return date to the Red Sox. “I<br />
need one more. If I didn’t have<br />
one more, I would be thrown to<br />
Detroit. You don’t need to go<br />
out there and second-guess the<br />
command <strong>of</strong> your pitches when<br />
you face a lineup like that. I<br />
want to make sure that I’m<br />
physically ready to go into that<br />
start [at Tropicana Field].”<br />
<strong>The</strong> right-hander was scheduled<br />
to throw 50-55 pitches<br />
Friday; he was removed <strong>after</strong><br />
throwing 52 pitches and 34<br />
strikes. Had Buchholz not<br />
thrown 23 pitches in the first<br />
inning, it’s conceivable that he<br />
could have remained out there<br />
for more than the 10 outs he<br />
ended up recording.<br />
Buchholz ended up falling<br />
behind 1-0 against four <strong>of</strong> the<br />
five Syracuse batters he faced<br />
in the top <strong>of</strong> the first. He began<br />
the outing with a seven-pitch<br />
confrontation with Eury Perez,<br />
who singled through the left<br />
side. A stolen base and a throwing<br />
error by catcher Ryan<br />
Lavarnway enabled Perez to<br />
advance to third.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second hitter for the<br />
Chiefs, Jeff Kobernus, scraped<br />
the third-base chalk for an<br />
infield to create a first-and-third<br />
scenario for Buchholz and the<br />
PawSox. Danny Espinosa then<br />
turned on a 91 mph <strong>of</strong>fering to<br />
produce a run.<br />
A 6-4-3 double play helped<br />
make life a little easier for<br />
Buchholz, who ended the first<br />
by getting Will Rhymes to pop<br />
up to shortstop Brock Holt.<br />
Buchholz’s fastball topped out<br />
at 94 mph in the first, which<br />
was also represented the highest<br />
reading <strong>of</strong> his outing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first two Chiefs went<br />
down in order in the second<br />
inning before Jimmy Van<br />
Ostrand singled. He ended the<br />
frame with his first strikeout<br />
that came on what appeared to<br />
be an 87 mph cutter. Buchholz<br />
finished with two punchouts<br />
and zero walks.<br />
Perez began the third inning<br />
in the same fashion that he<br />
began the first, with a base hit.<br />
With one down, Espinosa lined<br />
a shot into the right-field corner<br />
that Bryce Brentz bobbled. <strong>The</strong><br />
miscue left Buchholz to deal<br />
with a second-and-third jam<br />
with one out.<br />
A hard liner to second base<br />
produced the second out.<br />
Rhymes then watched a 91<br />
mph <strong>of</strong>fering zip by for strike<br />
three.<br />
Buchholz started the fourth<br />
with a one-pitch out. He then<br />
allowed a loud double to No. 7<br />
hitter Chris Rahl on a pitch that<br />
“was supposed to be a front<br />
door cutter and I just pulled it<br />
middle. Kid got some good<br />
wood on it.”<br />
After flying from Los<br />
Angeles to New York last<br />
weekend to pitch against New<br />
York-Penn League competition,<br />
Buchholz admitted that<br />
Friday felt like a normal day<br />
from a preparation standpoint –<br />
one that saw him clear a mental<br />
hurdle.<br />
“I felt good for a number <strong>of</strong><br />
days a couple <strong>of</strong> weeks ago<br />
and felt like it was time to get<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the mound. I actually reinjured<br />
myself doing that,”<br />
Buchholz said. “This is the<br />
hardest I’ve tried to throw<br />
throughout this whole process,<br />
which is a good thing for me.”<br />

Patriots hand<br />
out pink slips<br />
to tight ends<br />
Ballard, Fells<br />
Eight others are released;<br />
Tebow remains with team<br />
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) — <strong>The</strong> New England Patriots<br />
released veteran tight ends Jake Ballard and Daniel Fells in the<br />
first batch <strong>of</strong> final cuts.<br />
Now comes the really hard part.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Patriots released 10 players on Friday and must reduce<br />
their roster by 12 more to get down to the NFL regular-season<br />
limit <strong>of</strong> 53 by Saturday.<br />
Tim Tebow could be in jeopardy despite a decent performance<br />
in the Patriots' 28-20 win over the New York Giants in the<br />
exhibition finale Thursday. <strong>The</strong> third-string quarterback completed<br />
6 <strong>of</strong> 11 passes for 91 yards with two touchdowns and<br />
one interception. He also was sacked four times but got poor<br />
protection on some <strong>of</strong> them.<br />
"It's not just one game (that matters)," coach Bill Belichick<br />
said about the player evaluation process, "although every game<br />
is important. But the body <strong>of</strong> work, the camp, the rate <strong>of</strong><br />
improvement, the ability to do the things that players are going<br />
to be asked to do at their respective positions (also matters)."<br />
Belichick spoke before the cuts were announced and gave<br />
no indication <strong>of</strong> which players he might let go.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cuts <strong>of</strong> Ballard and Fells indicate that Rob Gronkowski<br />
could be ready to play sooner than expected <strong>after</strong> missing all<br />
four exhibition games following back surgery. He's one <strong>of</strong><br />
three tight ends still on the roster.<br />
Tebow, who is one <strong>of</strong> three quarterbacks, playing behind<br />
Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett, was asked <strong>after</strong> Thursday's game<br />
if he felt that performance improved his chances <strong>of</strong> making the<br />
team. He said, "I'm not sure. I don't make those decisions."<br />
That decision will depend on whether Belichick feels it<br />
would help the Patriots more to have greater depth at another<br />
position than by carrying a third quarterback, something he's<br />
done just once in the past four seasons.<br />
"I don't think it's good planning or good insurance for your<br />
team to go light at a position and then have no idea where your<br />
depth at that position is going to be," he said. "It may be on the<br />
roster. It may not be on the roster. But, at least, you want to<br />
have some idea where you're headed if you need it."<br />
That depth could come from players on the practice squad,<br />
the physically unable to perform list or free agents who aren't<br />
on any team, Belichick said.<br />

Red Sox defeat<br />
White Sox, 4-3<br />
BOSTON (AP) — Ryan Dempster returned from his suspension<br />
for hitting Alex Rodriguez and pitched into the seventh inning, leading<br />
the Boston Red Sox over the Chicago White Sox 4-3 Friday night<br />
for their fifth win in six games .<br />
David Ortiz snapped an 0-for-23 slump with a two-run single for<br />
the AL East leaders.<br />
Dempster (7-9), penalized five games for plunking A-Rod on<br />
Aug. 18, held Chicago hitless through the first four innings. He<br />
allowed three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings.<br />
Koji Uehara struck out two in the ninth for his 15th save in 18<br />
opportunities. He worked 1 1-3 innings in his 20th straight scoreless<br />
appearance.<br />

Players share<br />
mixed emotions<br />
on settlement<br />
Boyd: NFL is playing ‘pocket<br />
change’ for concussion suits<br />
NEW YORK (AP) — Those hundreds <strong>of</strong> millions <strong>of</strong> dollars<br />
the NFL is ready to pay former players sound great, until<br />
you stretch it out over 20 years and divide it among thousands<br />
<strong>of</strong> people.<br />
Which is why some former players and others think the<br />
league is getting <strong>of</strong>f cheap in its tentative settlement with<br />
victims <strong>of</strong> concussion-related brain injuries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> deal announced Thursday to settle 4,500 or so claims<br />
is awaiting approval by a federal judge in Philadelphia.<br />
"$765 million?" asked former Minnesota Viking Brent<br />
Boyd, one <strong>of</strong> the original plaintiffs in the lawsuit. "<strong>The</strong><br />
breakdown is $1.2 million over 20 years per team. What is<br />
that, a third <strong>of</strong> the average salary? <strong>The</strong>re is no penalty there.<br />
It's pocket change."<br />
Former players union president and Pro Bowl center<br />
Kevin Mawae complained that the NFL does not have to<br />
admit culpability.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> unfortunate thing is that the general fan, they see<br />
$765 million and they think it's a windfall for the players. It's<br />
great for ... the guys that would fall in the category <strong>of</strong> needing<br />
immediate help," Mawae said. "But it's $700 million<br />
worth <strong>of</strong> hush money that they will never have to be<br />
accountable for."<br />
Others former players didn't seem as concerned about the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> money, preferring to focus on the timing <strong>of</strong> the<br />
settlement. <strong>The</strong>y said that getting medical coverage now for<br />
their peers — or themselves — who suffer from a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
brain ailments and other health problems is essential.<br />
"Those people who need help now, really need the help<br />
the most and need it right now and not five years from now,<br />
will get the help," said former fullback Kevin Turner, who<br />
suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's<br />
disease, and was one <strong>of</strong> the lead plaintiffs. "That is key."<br />
"It is hard to put a dollar figure on ALS or Parkinson's or<br />
dementia and all these things. But if you ask me, I think it is<br />
fair."<br />
<strong>The</strong> lawsuits accused the NFL <strong>of</strong> concealing the longterm<br />
dangers <strong>of</strong> concussions while glorifying spectacular hits<br />
on the field.<br />
<strong>The</strong> settlement calls for payouts <strong>of</strong> up to $5 million for<br />
players suffering from Alzheimer's disease; up to $4 million<br />
for those who died <strong>of</strong> brain injuries known as chronic traumatic<br />
encephalopathy, or CTE; and up to $3 million for players<br />
suffering from dementia. <strong>The</strong> NFL will also pay for medical<br />
exams and devote $10 million toward medical research.<br />
<strong>The</strong> payments will hardly be a burden to the 32 NFL<br />
teams. <strong>The</strong> league generates close to $10 billion a year in revenue,<br />
and that is certain to rise when new TV contracts are<br />
negotiated in the near future.<br />
Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College in<br />
Northampton, Mass., estimated the settlement will cost the<br />
NFL $45 million a year, or 0.4 percent <strong>of</strong> current revenue.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> attorneys were under some pressure to deliver a concrete<br />
gain for those players suffering from these diseases,"<br />
Zimbalist said. If not for the settlement, "it's likely the NFL<br />
would litigate for many years before any settlement would<br />
come."<br />
He added: "It is a positive settlement for the former players,<br />
even though it could have been higher."<br />
Or as Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame linebacker Harry Carson put it, the<br />
NFL "has the resources to sort <strong>of</strong> stretch things out for years<br />
and years and years. <strong>The</strong> players don't have years and years<br />
and years."<br />
"When I look at the number <strong>of</strong> players who have had neurological<br />
issues and have passed on," added Carson, who<br />
was not a plaintiff, "I think now <strong>of</strong> the guys who are just<br />
starting to experience neurological issues. <strong>The</strong>y are going to<br />
be handled more humanely."<br />
It's also a positive public relations move for the NFL just<br />
a week before the season kicks <strong>of</strong>f. <strong>The</strong> last thing the league<br />
wanted was for concussions to remain a front-page story<br />
while games were being played.<br />
Commissioner Roger Goodell can now point to the settlement<br />
and the league's player-safety initiatives as pro<strong>of</strong> that<br />
pro football is dealing forcefully with the issue.<br />
"PR-wise, it allows the league and the players association<br />
and medical experts and the U.S. Army and Harvard to show<br />
how they are coming up with solutions for the future rather<br />
than addressing omissions <strong>of</strong> the past," said Marc Ganis,<br />
president <strong>of</strong> SportsCorp, a Chicago-based sports consulting<br />
firm that does business with the league and several teams.<br />
But some former players wonder if their future will be<br />
any brighter as they try to deal with brain disease.<br />
Boyd said he foresees a "bureaucratic nightmare <strong>of</strong> red<br />
tape" in attempts to get approved for coverage and then<br />
receive treatment. He said he has been diagnosed with earlyonset<br />
dementia and has signs <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer's disease.<br />
"When I testified before Congress, I spoke <strong>of</strong> how the<br />
NFL's plan to cover disabilities was to delay, deny, hope they<br />
die," Boyd said.<br />

NFL<br />
ATLANTA (AP) — <strong>The</strong> Atlanta<br />
Falcons waived Brian Banks, the linebacker<br />
who was attempting to make a late<br />
start to his NFL career <strong>after</strong> spending five<br />
years in prison on a conviction that was<br />
later overturned.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 28-year-old Banks spent five years<br />
in prison and five years on probation following<br />
his conviction <strong>of</strong> rape and kidnapping<br />
charges a decade ago. <strong>The</strong> woman<br />
who made the charge when Banks was 16<br />
later recanted her accusation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> conviction was overturned by a<br />
California court last year.<br />
Banks had two tackles, including one<br />
for a loss, in the Falcons' 20-16 preseason<br />
loss to Jacksonville on Thursday night. He<br />
was listed as the third-string middle linebacker<br />
and faced an uphill battle to make<br />
the team.<br />
"Brian is a guy that has not played football<br />
in 10 years," Falcons coach Mike<br />
Smith said <strong>after</strong> Thursday night's game.<br />
"He has really matured and progressed as a<br />
football player since we've had him on our<br />
roster."<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) —<br />
So much for perfect harmony.<br />
Even on a night when the<br />
news is good, Robert Griffin<br />
III and Mike Shanahan can't<br />
sing the same song.<br />
Minutes <strong>after</strong> the<br />
Washington Redskins quarterback<br />
tweeted to the world that<br />
he was "Cleared for Take<strong>of</strong>f"<br />
in his return from major knee<br />
surgery, the coach kept him sitting<br />
on the runway for a least a<br />
few more days, declining to<br />
name Griffin as the Week 1<br />
starter.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is agreement on one<br />
very important matter. On<br />
Thursday night, when the<br />
Redskins were in Florida to<br />
play the Tampa Bay<br />
Buccaneers, Griffin was<br />
cleared to play <strong>after</strong> being<br />
examined yet again by Dr.<br />
James Andrews, a remarkable<br />
development that comes less<br />
than eight months <strong>after</strong> he<br />
repaired Griffin's right knee in<br />
January.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n it gets murky. Griffin<br />
celebrated the news by tweeting:<br />
"Operation<br />
Patience....Complete. Cleared.<br />
To God Be <strong>The</strong> Glory."<br />
''Operation Patience" was the<br />
catchphrase Griffin used to<br />
help deal with the frustration<br />
he felt when he was limited in<br />
practice by Shanahan during<br />
training camp and not allowed<br />
to play in preseason games.<br />
Griffin also tweeted a link to a<br />
photo <strong>of</strong> himself saluting while<br />
wearing his Redskins uniform,<br />
with the caption "Cleared for<br />
Take<strong>of</strong>f."<br />
Shanahan held his<br />
postgame news conference and<br />
announced that Andrews did<br />
indeed clear Griffin to play,<br />
but: "<strong>The</strong>re's a couple concerns<br />
that he has. I'll talk to Robert<br />
over the weekend and I'll let<br />
you guys know on Monday."<br />
Shanahan declined to identify<br />
the "concerns" the <strong>doctor</strong><br />
supposedly has. Asked directly<br />
whether Griffin would start<br />
against the Philadelphia Eagles<br />
on Sept. 9, Shanahan wouldn't<br />

Banks signed with the Falcons in<br />
March. He said Thursday he faced a different<br />
challenge than most players competing<br />
for roster spots as he tried to make up for<br />
his lost decade.<br />
"My learning curve is definitely different<br />
from a lot <strong>of</strong> the guys here," Banks<br />
said. "I was learning a lot <strong>of</strong> the one-onone<br />
basic things <strong>of</strong> football as well as the<br />
intermediate things <strong>of</strong> football and meshing<br />
them all together at once in a small<br />
period <strong>of</strong> time. It was definitely challenging,<br />
but I've enjoyed myself the whole<br />
time."<br />
Banks had tryouts with Kansas City,<br />
San Diego and San Francisco and attended<br />
minicamp with Seattle last year before<br />
spending the 2012 season with Las Vegas<br />
<strong>of</strong> the United Football League.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Buffalo Bills also released quarterback<br />
Matt Leinart, who joined the Bills on<br />
Sunday as an injury replacement. <strong>The</strong> former<br />
first-round pick struggled in his only<br />
game with the Bills on Thursday night<br />
against Detroit, completing 3 <strong>of</strong> 10 passes<br />
for 11 yards and two interceptions.<br />
First<br />
give an answer.<br />
"I'll share that with you on<br />
Monday which direction we're<br />
going," he said.<br />
On the surface, it didn't<br />
make sense. If a <strong>doctor</strong> has<br />
"concerns," then why clear the<br />
player to play? Andrews himself<br />
seemed to distance himself<br />
from Shanahan's comments on<br />
Friday with a text message to<br />
the Washington Post: "None <strong>of</strong><br />
it is true. No concerns."<br />
Nevertheless, the episode<br />
fits the Griffin-Shanahan <strong>pattern</strong><br />
that has dominated the<br />
Redskins' world on a weekly<br />
basis since the start <strong>of</strong> training<br />
camp. Griffin makes a statement;<br />
Shanahan says not-s<strong>of</strong>ast.<br />
It comes <strong>of</strong>f as a power<br />
play between hard-nosed<br />
coach and telegenic franchise<br />
player, with the coach ultimately<br />
reminding everyone<br />
who's in charge.<br />
If there are unspecified<br />
"concerns," they could include<br />
another reminder to Griffin to<br />
protect himself better. <strong>The</strong><br />
multi-threat quarterback<br />
missed all or part <strong>of</strong> four<br />
games last year due to injuries,<br />
and he's promised this year to<br />
do a better job avoiding contact<br />
when he's running with the<br />
ball<br />
Ȯr the whole thing could<br />
<strong>The</strong> move was the latest setback for<br />
Leinart, a former Heisman Trophy winner.<br />
Leinart has been unable to establish himself<br />
in the NFL following a standout college<br />
career at Southern California. He has<br />
had stints with four different teams over<br />
the past eight years.<br />
Left tackle Max Starks also reached the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> the road Friday, at least with the San<br />
Diego Chargers.<br />
After playing what he called "probably<br />
one <strong>of</strong> my worst games in my entire<br />
career," Starks was among 11 players cut<br />
by the Chargers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 10-year veteran allowed three sacks<br />
in a 41-6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in<br />
Thursday night's exhibition finale.<br />
Starks, who won two Super Bowl rings<br />
with the Pittsburgh Steelers, had already<br />
lost the battle with King Dunlap to protect<br />
quarterback Philip Rivers' blind side,<br />
although rookie coach Mike McCoy hadn't<br />
made it <strong>of</strong>ficial.<br />
McCoy said Friday that Starks "struggled<br />
a little bit, I think. That's all part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
business. We're moving forward."<br />
Indy announces plans to seek 2018 Super Bowl<br />
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis<br />
wants to host the Super Bowl in 2018 <strong>after</strong><br />
winning praise for its handling <strong>of</strong> the<br />
NFL's showcase event in 2012.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city notified the NFL <strong>of</strong> its intentions<br />
Friday ahead <strong>of</strong> a news conference at<br />
which Gov. Mike Pence, Indianapolis<br />
Mayor Greg Ballard, Indianapolis Colts<br />
owner Jim Irsay and civic leaders made the<br />
decision public at Lucas Oil Stadium, site<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 2012 Super Bowl.<br />
Indianapolis won broad praise for that<br />
effort, drawing hundreds <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong><br />
football fans to the city amid concerns<br />
about hosting the game and its many festivities<br />
in a "cold weather" location.<br />
Ballard said Friday the 2012 game is still<br />
having benefits for the city.<br />
"We are the gold standard on how<br />
Super Bowls are run," Irsay said Friday.<br />
Former Colts player Jeff Saturday<br />
echoed that sentiment, saying that friends<br />
on the New York Giants and New England<br />
Patriots, the teams that played in the 2012<br />
game, raved about their experience in the<br />
city.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> excitement they had in their voices<br />
really encouraged me that our city was<br />
doing it right," Saturday said.<br />
"It doesn't get better than we did it in<br />
Indianapolis" in 2012, he added. "I look<br />
forward to 2018 beating the one we did<br />
before."<br />
Redskins’ RG3 is cleared, but the drama goes on<br />
just be a standard coach's ploy<br />
to keep the opposition <strong>of</strong>f balance,<br />
although that would<br />
hardly seem effective in this<br />
game. <strong>The</strong> Eagles no doubt<br />
have been preparing to face the<br />
unconventional RG3, so it<br />
would hardly be a coach's<br />
headache if they suddenly<br />
learned they were instead facing<br />
conventional backup Kirk<br />
Cousins.<br />
None <strong>of</strong> the latest back-andforth<br />
has altered the convention<br />
wisdom: Everyone who<br />
has seen Griffin practice agrees<br />
that he looks good and will be<br />
under center against the<br />
Eagles.<br />

NHL<br />
Contract extension leaves Bruins’ Chiarelli ‘appreciative’<br />
By <strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
Boston Bruins general manager Peter<br />
Chiarelli has a new contract.<br />
<strong>The</strong> job is the same as it used to<br />
be.<br />
"Our challenges are now at a level<br />
that we compete for the Stanley Cup and we want<br />
to compete for the Stanley Cup every year,"<br />
Chiarelli said Friday. "And it's my mandate, my<br />
charge to do that. ... I am very appreciative to be<br />
here for five more years at least and I look forward<br />
to this coming season and seasons <strong>after</strong>."<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bruins signed Chiarelli to a four-year contract<br />
extension on Thursday that would keep him in<br />
Boston through the 2017-18 season. Charlie Jacobs,<br />
the son <strong>of</strong> owner Jeremy Jacobs, recalled the negotiations<br />
with Chiarelli to bring the then-assistant<br />
GM in Ottawa to Boston in 2006 and said, "We've<br />
come a long way."<br />
"This was a rather easy negotiation," Jacobs<br />
said. "I think it spells a lot about the stability <strong>of</strong> our<br />
franchise and where we've come from."<br />
Chiarelli, 49, will enter his eighth season with<br />
Boston when training camp opens next month. <strong>The</strong><br />
Bruins have qualified for the play<strong>of</strong>fs in six <strong>of</strong> his<br />
first seven years, compiling a 50-35 postseason<br />
Tennis<br />
record while winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 and<br />
returning to the Finals this season.<br />
In all, Boston is 291-187-62 under Chiarelli.<br />
"He's done a fantastic job as a GM since he's<br />
been here and certainly deserves the extension,"<br />
Bruins president Cam Neely said at a news conference<br />
on Friday. "One <strong>of</strong> the things we talked about<br />
here being the Boston Bruins is, not just making the<br />
postseason but competing for Stanley Cups. We've<br />
been to the Finals twice."<br />
Jacobs said the real vote <strong>of</strong> confidence came this<br />
summer, when the team signed forward Patrice<br />
Bergeron to an eight-year, $52 million contract<br />
extension and gave goaltender Tuukka Rask an<br />
eight-year deal worth about $56 million.<br />
"We committed over $100 million in a matter<br />
<strong>of</strong> about a week just this summer to two players,"<br />
Jacobs said. "I think that that speaks volumes about<br />
the amount <strong>of</strong> trust we place in not only Peter but<br />
his hockey operations department and their projections<br />
about how these player personnel will deliver<br />
for us in the future."<br />
Asked what he is proudest <strong>of</strong> as the Bruins GM,<br />
Chiarelli said it was hiring coach Claude Julien in<br />
2007 and sticking with him -- including 2010, <strong>after</strong><br />
the team blew a 3-0 lead in the play<strong>of</strong>fs against<br />
Philadelphia. Julien's job seemed in jeopardy again<br />
the next year when the Bruins fell behind Montreal<br />
0-2 in the first round <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y went on to win it all.<br />
"He came <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> being fired twice and there<br />
were a lot <strong>of</strong> questions about him," Chiarelli said.<br />
"So, obviously, I knew what he was like -- receptive<br />
to things so he could evolve with the rest <strong>of</strong> us."<br />
Now they'll have a few more years to work<br />
together to bring the Cup back to Boston. Julien<br />
was signed to an extension <strong>of</strong> undisclosed length<br />
last summer.<br />
"Stability is really important and significant<br />
when you are delivering these messages," Chiarelli<br />
said, adding that there has to be turnover as well to<br />
guard against complacency. "So there is stability,<br />
there's strong leadership but you have to keep<br />
everybody on their toes, especially in this cap<br />
world.<br />
"So you can be stable and proactive and that is<br />
what I like to think we do as a group."<br />
Also on Friday, the Bruins said their rookie<br />
training camp will start next week and announced<br />
the roster. Among those invited are two goaltenders<br />
who could compete for a backup spot: Malcolm<br />
Subban, the brother <strong>of</strong> Montreal defenseman P.K.<br />
Subban, and Adam Morrison. Also invited is former<br />
Boston College star Tommy Cross.<br />

Djokovic, Murray pull out second-round victories at U.S. Open<br />
NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic and<br />
ndy Murray have met in three <strong>of</strong> the last four<br />
rand Slam finals, though if they play in the<br />
.S. Open this year, it will be in the semis.<br />
Each took a step forward Friday, shaky at<br />
oments and sensational in others, in secondound<br />
victories. <strong>The</strong> top-seeded Djokovic<br />
aced two early set points, while defending<br />
hampion Murray had to go four sets.<br />
Leonardo Mayer, ranked 81st, ran Murray<br />
ll over the court, but the third-seeded Brit<br />
xcels at chasing down shots. Murray won the<br />
ast five games for a 7-5, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 victory.<br />
"He's a big hitter <strong>of</strong> the ball. I had to defend<br />
lot," Murray said in an on-court interview. "I<br />
hink he played some really, really good tennis.<br />
t made for an entertaining match."<br />
After pulling out the first set in a tiebreaker,<br />
jokovic needed less than an hour to close out<br />
is victory. <strong>The</strong> 2011 champion beat 87thanked<br />
Benjamin Becker <strong>of</strong> Germany 7-6 (2),<br />
-2, 6-2.<br />
Becker had a chance to serve for the first set<br />
gainst Djokovic at 5-4. But he wasted the first<br />
et point with a forehand into the net and the<br />
econd when a backhand sailed wide.<br />
"Becker is a quality opponent and he should<br />
ave won the first set," Djokovic said. "I was<br />
ortunate enough to come back and win the<br />
irst set, and <strong>after</strong> that, I was much more comortable<br />
on the court."<br />
Djokovic was playing in Arthur Ashe<br />
Stadium, where the wind <strong>of</strong>ten swirls to players'<br />
frustration.<br />
"You need to have this adjustment, footwork,<br />
steps, in order to get on the ball,"<br />
Djokovic said. "I didn't have that in the first<br />
set. I was still trying to find my way from<br />
baseline, and the other side he was serving<br />
well. ... After I played a good tiebreak, everything<br />
kind <strong>of</strong> settled. I started to serve better,<br />
started to step into the court, which is important."<br />
Murray was in Louis Armstrong Stadium, a<br />
place that had bedeviled him in the past. Last<br />
year, he was pushed to four tough sets in the<br />
third round and quarterfinals there.<br />
Another Grand Slam winner, Li Na, also<br />
showed some championship form on Ashe.<br />
This time, her opponent, Laura Robson, looked<br />
very much like a teenager.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fifth-seeded Li avenged her third-round<br />
upset loss to the young Brit at last year's U.S.<br />
Open, winning in straight sets at the same<br />
stage at Flushing Meadows.<br />
Li, the 2011 French Open champ, rallied<br />
from down a break in the second set for a 6-2,<br />
7-5 victory.<br />
Li was nervous <strong>after</strong> she noticed that her<br />
draw was a repeat from last year. A pep talk<br />
from coach Carlos Rodriguez eased her anxiety.<br />
"After the talk I was feeling much, much<br />
better," she said. "Because before I never try to<br />
share the feeling with the team."<br />
Australian Open semifinalist Sloane<br />
Stephens, seeded 15th, beat fellow American<br />
Jamie Hampton 6-1, 6-3. Hampton, at No. 23,<br />
was seeded at a Grand Slam tournament for<br />
the first time in her career.<br />
Stephens' next opponent could be defending<br />
champ Serena Williams, who faces Yaroslava<br />
Shvedova in the nightcap at Ashe. It would be<br />
a rematch <strong>of</strong> their Australian Open quarterfinal,<br />
won by the young American.<br />
Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 9-<br />
seeded Angelique Kerber and No. 9 Jelena<br />
Jankovic all advanced in straight sets.<br />
Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki, seeded<br />
16th, won't be making a run at Flushing<br />
Meadows <strong>after</strong> she was eliminated in straight<br />
sets by Ekaterina Makarova. <strong>The</strong> 24th-seeded<br />
Russian won 6-4, 7-5.<br />
A year ago, Robson's upset <strong>of</strong> Li was the<br />
biggest victory <strong>of</strong> her breakthrough run.<br />
Meanwhile, it was the third straight frustrating<br />
U.S. Open loss for the Chinese star.<br />
Robson was ranked 89th coming into last<br />
year's tournament. She had never advanced<br />
past the second round at a Grand Slam event<br />
or defeated a top-10 opponent.<br />
That all changed when she upset major<br />
champions Kim Clijsters and Li back-to-back<br />
to make the fourth round. Now 19, Robson<br />
was seeded 30th at Flushing Meadows and<br />
coming <strong>of</strong>f a fourth-round run at Wimbledon.<br />
Li had 34 unforced errors in their match a<br />
year ago, and she lamented then that the free<br />
points lifted the teen's confidence. This time,<br />
Robson never had much <strong>of</strong> an opening.<br />
"She served very well today and I thought<br />
she was returning really deep," Robson said.<br />
"You know, there wasn't a lot I could do in<br />
some points."<br />
Li surprised herself with 11 aces Friday —<br />
including one on a second serve on match<br />
point — and won all nine points when she<br />
went to the net. She's back in the fourth round<br />
at the U.S. Open for the first time since 2009.<br />
Her run over, Robson now must face an<br />
unfortunate reality for many teens: getting her<br />
wisdom teeth out.<br />
"All the other girls in the locker room are<br />
telling me their horror stories: 'Oh, yeah, I<br />
pulled my gauze out and it was just blood,'"<br />
Robson said. "So that's not too nice."<br />
Fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych beat Denis<br />
Kudla <strong>of</strong> the U.S. 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-3.<br />
American Tim Smyczek, ranked 109th,<br />
reached the third round at a Grand Slam tournament<br />
for the first time. He edged 73rdranked<br />
Alex Bogomolov Jr. in five sets, needing<br />
nearly four hours to win 3-6, 7-6 (6), 2-6,<br />

Mickelson, Davis grab early lead<br />
at Deutsche Bank Championship<br />
Continued from page C1<br />
Kevin Stadler birdied his last four holes for a<br />
64.<br />
Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Roberto<br />
Castro were in the group at 65. Garcia tends to<br />
skip the Deutsche Bank, but he is No. 55 in the<br />
FedEx Cup, no guarantee <strong>of</strong> being among the<br />
top 70 who advance to the third play<strong>of</strong>f event<br />
outside Chicago. Instead, the Spaniard is playing<br />
his fifth straight week.<br />
Rory McIlroy opened with a 70, which he<br />
said was the worst score he could have shot.<br />
It was at the Deutsche Bank Championship<br />
in 2007 when Mickelson first got over the mental<br />
hurdle <strong>of</strong> playing with Woods, his longtime<br />
nemesis. He said swing coach Butch Harmon,<br />
who formerly worked with Woods, gave him a<br />
few tips about playing with the world's No. 1<br />
player that relaxed Mickelson.<br />
In the 15 rounds they have played together<br />
since, Mickelson has a 9-5-1 advantage in posting<br />
the lower score. He has shot the better score<br />
all five times in the final round, three <strong>of</strong> those<br />
leading to wins.<br />
Mickelson had said Woods "brings out the<br />
best in me" on Thursday <strong>after</strong> his pro-am<br />
round. When asked about that again <strong>after</strong> his<br />
63, Lefty smiled and said, "After today, it's hard<br />
to think any differently."<br />
Woods referred to the course as "gettable,"<br />
the same description he gave <strong>of</strong> Muirfield when<br />
Mickelson shot 66 on the final day to win the<br />
British Open, considered one <strong>of</strong> the great closing<br />
rounds in a major. That was the case,<br />
though. <strong>The</strong> TPC Boston was s<strong>of</strong>t enough —<br />
and the fairways wide enough — to allow some<br />
low numbers.<br />
Woods said his back felt fine, and there were<br />
no outward indications he was in any pain. <strong>The</strong><br />
only thing that hurt was not hitting enough<br />
shots close for birdie chances, and missing a<br />
few at the end. Woods had a 6-foot birdie putt<br />
on the seventh and a downhill birdie putt from<br />
about 12 feet on his last hole, missing both <strong>of</strong><br />
them.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> back is good," Woods said.<br />
"Unfortunately, I didn't give myself a whole lot<br />
<strong>of</strong> looks."<br />
Even though the majors are over, and<br />
Mickelson added a big one at the British Open,<br />
the next month is a great chance for him. For<br />
all his greatness over the last two decades — 42<br />
career wins on the PGA Tour, five majors and a<br />
spot in the Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame — he came along at<br />
the wrong time. Mickelson has never been<br />
player <strong>of</strong> the year, No. 1 in the world or tops on<br />
the PGA Tour money list. And he hasn't won<br />
the FedEx Cup, now in its seventh year.<br />
This might be his best chance. Mickelson<br />
feels great, though at 43 he was reminded he<br />
wasn't getting any younger when he went home<br />
to San Diego last week to take his oldest<br />
daughter to high school.<br />
With two wins — one a major — and a runner-up<br />
in the U.S. Open, another win at a<br />
FedEx Cup play<strong>of</strong>f event might be enough to<br />
get voted PGA Tour player <strong>of</strong> the year. Woods<br />
has five wins, all <strong>of</strong> them strong, but failed to<br />
win a major.<br />
"If I finish <strong>of</strong>f with one or two wins this<br />
year, and win the FedEx Cup, I think that<br />
would be enough to get the player <strong>of</strong> the year,"<br />
he said. "My game clicked again last week, and<br />
I feel like these next three weeks I'm going to<br />
play very well. I can just feel it. You can just<br />
tell sometimes. <strong>The</strong> game feels sharp. And<br />
mentally, I have a lot <strong>of</strong> energy and I'm able to<br />
focus clearly. And that's usually when you play<br />
well."<br />

(BPT) — Chances are you've thought about<br />
adding a splash <strong>of</strong> color to the exterior <strong>of</strong> your<br />
home, and you're not the only one. Many people<br />
have the same idea, but they don't act because<br />
they're worried they will choose poorly. Selecting<br />
the wrong color for your home's exterior isn't<br />
only costly, it's embarrassing as well.<br />
"Many homeowners are afraid to add color to<br />
their home's exterior because they don't want to<br />
make a mistake," says Sensational Color's Kate<br />
Smith, Color Marketing Group (CMG), a career<br />
color trend forecaster. "Especially when people<br />
look at the style <strong>of</strong> their homes, they can become<br />
confused by what colors will enhance their exteriors."<br />
One common mistake homeowners make<br />
when seeking to add color to their home's exterior<br />
is they fail to identify a full color palette. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
set out to choose that perfect color for their home<br />
without thinking about how it will interact with<br />
the newly-installed window frames or new ro<strong>of</strong>.<br />
Smith says the selection <strong>of</strong> your main color<br />
should take into account the colors <strong>of</strong> fixed features<br />
related to your home, such as the brick,<br />
stone or stucco found on your foundation, porch<br />
or walkway. Selecting color options for the trim,<br />
shutters and the front door should only come<br />
<strong>after</strong> the main color has been selected.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> this may sound daunting, but Smith<br />
says the key is to follow the process. If you're<br />

home the most envied on the block, a new, 36-<br />

(BPT) — <strong>The</strong><br />
Environmental Protection<br />
Agency has named indoor<br />
air quality as one <strong>of</strong> the top<br />
five environmental risks to<br />
public health citing research<br />
that indoor air may be up to<br />
100 times more polluted<br />
than the air outside. With<br />
Americans spending 90 percent<br />
<strong>of</strong> their time indoors,<br />
purifying indoor air is paramount<br />
to keeping families<br />
healthy - especially those<br />
with family members suffering<br />
from asthma and allergies.<br />
"Poor indoor air quality<br />
has been linked to a host <strong>of</strong><br />
health issues such as<br />
headaches, dry eyes, nasal<br />
congestion, nausea, fatigue,<br />
heart disease and chronic<br />
respiratory disease," says<br />
Chris Chase, product marketing<br />
manager at Aprilaire.<br />
"For individuals that suffer<br />
from asthma or allergies, air<br />
particles such as pollen, dust<br />
and dust mites are known<br />
triggers for asthma attacks<br />
and allergic reactions."<br />
More than 25 million<br />
Americans have been diagnosed<br />
with asthma and 50<br />
million suffer from allergies.<br />
Dust alone is comprised <strong>of</strong><br />

for asthma and allergy sufferers<br />
and protect your family<br />
from getting sick. You<br />
can improve indoor air quality<br />
with two simple steps:<br />
* Prevent irritants from<br />
entering the house. Take<br />
measures to make sure dust,<br />
dirt and other pollutants are<br />
prevented from entering the<br />
house. Simple activities like<br />
removing shoes before<br />
entering the household,<br />
closing windows during<br />
high pollen days and not<br />
allowing smoking indoors<br />
help keep dirt and other irritants<br />
from entering the<br />
household.<br />
* Install a whole-home<br />
air purification system. A<br />
whole-home air purification<br />
system is installed as part <strong>of</strong><br />
the central heating and cooling<br />
system to capture and<br />

Energize your home’s<br />
for Your Home Exterior," can help.<br />
In this free guide, author Smith advocates for<br />
taking a "top down" approach to adding eyepleasing<br />
color palettes to the home exterior. She<br />
says people who are interested in making a color<br />
change to their exterior should start with the ro<strong>of</strong><br />
color and work their way down, taking into<br />
D<br />
Bright idea exterior with vibrant colors<br />
account the siding, window frames, front entry<br />
door and trim.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ebook includes specific tips for home<br />
styles including: ranch, colonial, bungalow,<br />
Victorian, Spanish mission, European and new<br />
American homes. Smith provides several color<br />
combinations for each home style as well as tips<br />
for making the homes complement their neighborhoods.<br />
"One <strong>of</strong> the hottest trends in the marketplace<br />
right now is to 'shake up' home exteriors with<br />
color," says Smith. "This tutorial provides guidance<br />
on understanding the home's exterior features<br />
and playing <strong>of</strong>f them with color accents."<br />
Smith created the guide in collaboration with<br />
several building manufacturers including:<br />
DaVinci Ro<strong>of</strong>scapes, Fypon, Simonton Windows<br />
and <strong>The</strong>rma-Tru. You can access the ebook<br />
through these company web sites or through<br />
Smith's website sensationalcolor.com.<br />
"No homeowner should feel locked into blah<br />
or standard colors on their home's exterior," says<br />
Smith. "A shake or slate polymer ro<strong>of</strong> can have<br />
an appealing blend <strong>of</strong> colors, such as browns and<br />
autumn tones. Low-maintenance vinyl window<br />
frames and grids come in pine green, chocolate<br />
and even brick red to add pizzazz to the home.<br />
And, homeowners can create a welcoming front<br />
entrance by painting a fiberglass door a striking<br />
accent color. Tie that all together with painted<br />
urethane trim pieces that add the 'icing on the<br />
cake' for the home and you can really make a<br />
home more appealing with coordinated colors."<br />
Indoor air quality: What you can’t see can hurt you<br />
micron in size and are 40<br />
times more efficient than a<br />
standard furnace filter. Each<br />
time the air system runs, the<br />
whole-home air purification<br />
system removes dust, dust<br />
mites, pet dander, mold<br />
spores, pollen, viruses,<br />
fungi, mold and other dangerous<br />
substances from the<br />
air throughout the entire<br />
home, rather than just the air<br />
in the immediate vicinity<br />
like a portable air cleaner.<br />
Other important considerations<br />
include maintaining<br />
humidity levels as well as<br />
proper ventilation; especially<br />
if your home is newer or<br />
has been recently updated<br />
with tighter materials for<br />
more energy efficiency.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se area houses <strong>of</strong> worship invite<br />
you to join them soon. It could be<br />
the start <strong>of</strong> a beautiful relationship.<br />
It was early <strong>after</strong>noon at<br />
the beach and my youngest<br />
daughter was shoeless in the<br />
sand, as she ran to the adjoining<br />
playground. "Ouch, the<br />
sand is hot, mommy," she<br />
said. I was right next to her<br />
wearing flip-flops and immediately,<br />
I picked her up and<br />
propped her up on my hip. As<br />
I was carrying my daughter<br />
to the swings, I found myself<br />
leaning to one side.<br />
When we got to the playground,<br />
I placed her on the<br />
tire swing and began to push<br />
her back and forth. My<br />
daughter's golden-brown<br />
curly hair swayed in the<br />
breeze, and I recalled a narrative<br />
I once heard. It was<br />
about a country minister who<br />
continually prayed, "Lord,<br />
prop us up on our leaning<br />
side." After hearing him utter<br />
that prayer countless times, a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> his congregation<br />
decided to ask him about it.<br />
One day <strong>after</strong> their Sunday<br />
services, the two exchanged<br />
greetings. "Minister, why do<br />
you pray Lord, prop us up on<br />
our leaning side?" the member<br />
questioned. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
silence for a moment, and the<br />
minister replied, "Well, I<br />
have a barn in the back <strong>of</strong> my<br />
house." He pointed out into<br />
the distance. "It has been<br />
there a long time. It has withstood<br />
adverse weather. It has<br />
gone through a lot <strong>of</strong> storms.<br />
Yet, it is still standing."<br />
Interested, the congregation<br />
member listened carefully,<br />
as the minister explained,<br />
"But one day, I noticed the<br />
barn was leaning to one side.<br />
I got some poles and propped<br />
it up on its leaning side, so it<br />
wouldn't fall. Looking at that<br />
shelter, I started to think<br />
about how much I was like<br />
that barn. I have been around<br />
for a long time. I've withstood<br />
difficulties. I have<br />
endured hard times and many<br />
<strong>of</strong> life's storms. Nevertheless,<br />
I'm still standing, too. So,<br />
when I find myself leaning to<br />
one side, I pray and ask the<br />
Lord to prop me up on my<br />

What<br />
are you<br />
leaning<br />
toward<br />
today?<br />
God has<br />
given you<br />
dreams<br />
and goals<br />
for your<br />
future. He<br />
has placed<br />
wonderful aspirations in your<br />
heart.<br />
But challenges may have<br />
pushed you down. Now, is<br />
your mind filled with doubts?<br />
Are you leaning toward<br />
thoughts <strong>of</strong> 'I'm not good<br />
enough' or 'I can't'?<br />
I read that when<br />
Michelangelo was commissioned<br />
to paint the ceiling <strong>of</strong><br />
the Sistine Chapel, he was<br />
leaning toward despondency.<br />
Since he was a sculptor by<br />
trade, he didn't think he had<br />
the experience to paint frescos<br />
and felt taking on the<br />
endeavor would set him up<br />
for ridicule. Yet, the artist<br />
was devoted to God; and<br />
with steadfast faith, he put<br />
aside thoughts <strong>of</strong> hopelessness<br />
and began the project.<br />
Michelangelo's masterpiece<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> the greatest<br />
painted works in history. So<br />
replace, 'I can't' thoughts with<br />
'I can' and persevere. You can<br />
fulfill your highest potential.<br />
Have you made mistakes?<br />
Are you leaning toward<br />
defeat? Og Mandino became<br />
addicted to drinking and was<br />
unable to hold a job to support<br />
his young family.<br />
Finally, his wife had had<br />
enough, and she took their<br />
child and left him. Mandino<br />
was jobless, homeless and<br />
spent numerous drunken<br />
nights in gutters.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, one cold morning,<br />
Mandino was leaning toward<br />
suicide. To stay warm, he<br />
entered a public library and<br />
began reading and searching,<br />
asking himself, "Is it too late<br />
for me?"<br />
Motivational books and<br />
the Bible inspired him so<br />
much that he was determined<br />
to heal past hurts and turn his<br />
life around. And he did.<br />
Mandino remarried, had a<br />
loving family, and found<br />
tremendous career success<br />
authoring 17 books, giving<br />
speeches all over the world,<br />
and positively influencing<br />
and motivating millions to<br />
achieve success and happiness.<br />
God's mercy is new every<br />
morning. Thus, you can<br />
begin again.<br />
Perhaps you're convinced<br />
you don't have the talents,<br />
resources or the right background<br />
to succeed. Are you<br />
leaning toward just settling<br />
for less than what you really<br />
desire?<br />
Raised by a hardworking,<br />
single mother, young Ben<br />
struggled in school, was<br />
made fun <strong>of</strong> by his classmates,<br />
and leaned toward<br />
wrath. However, his mother<br />
taught him to have faith in<br />
God and to believe in himself.<br />
She shared the values<br />
needed to succeed and<br />
encouraged him to read<br />
books, as a method for<br />
obtaining knowledge. Ben<br />
then was determined not to<br />
allow his circumstances to<br />
weigh him down or to see<br />
himself as a victim.<br />
He followed his dream<br />
forward, and Dr. Ben Carson<br />
became a world-renowned<br />
neurosurgeon serving humanity.<br />
"Do your best and let<br />
God do the rest," he said.<br />
No matter how many<br />
times you may have been<br />
pushed down, don't quit. Pick<br />
yourself up and try again.<br />
This is not the time to stop<br />
trying. In fact, it's the time to<br />
try harder. For success is in<br />
your future.<br />

Teen guilty <strong>of</strong> murdering Georgia baby in stroller<br />
KATE BRUMBAC<br />
Associated Press<br />
MARIETTA, Ga. — An 18-<br />
ear-old man was convicted <strong>of</strong> murer<br />
in the shooting <strong>of</strong> a baby who<br />
as riding in a stroller alongside his<br />
om in a town in coastal Georgia<br />
espite the defense's attempt to cast<br />
uilt upon several others, including<br />
he child's parents.<br />
Jurors deliberated about two<br />
ours before finding De'Marquise<br />
lkins guilty <strong>of</strong> 11 counts, including<br />
wo counts <strong>of</strong> felony murder and<br />
ne count <strong>of</strong> malice murder in the<br />
arch 21 killing <strong>of</strong> 13-month-old<br />
ntonio Santiago in Brunswick. <strong>The</strong><br />
an's mother, Karimah Elkins, was<br />
n trial alongside him and was<br />
ound guilty <strong>of</strong> tampering with evience<br />
but acquitted <strong>of</strong> lying to<br />
olice.<br />
De'Marquise Elkins faces life in<br />
prison when he is sentenced at a<br />
later date. At the time <strong>of</strong> the shooting<br />
he was 17, too young to face the<br />
death penalty under Georgia law.<br />
His lead defense attorney, public<br />
defender Kevin Gough, vowed to<br />
appeal the verdict. A judge denied<br />
his request for the teen to be out on<br />
bond during the appeal.<br />
"Marky Elkins and his family are<br />
confident that he will receive another<br />
trial in which he will be able to<br />
present fully his defense," Gough<br />
said. "Mr. Elkins will eventually be<br />
exonerated."<br />
Karimah Elkins' attorney, Wrix<br />
McIlvaine, said he would talk to his<br />
client and that they would likely<br />
appeal.<br />
Sherry West testified that she was<br />
walking home from the post <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
with her son the morning <strong>of</strong> the<br />
killing. A gunman demanding her<br />
purse, shot her in the leg and shot<br />
her baby in the face <strong>after</strong> she told<br />
him she had no money, she said.<br />
Prosecutors, who declined comment<br />
<strong>after</strong> the verdict, said during<br />
two-week trial that De'Marquise<br />
Elkins and an accomplice, 15-yearold<br />
Dominique Lang, are the ones<br />
who stopped West. Prosecutors say<br />
the older teen pointed a small .22-<br />
caliber revolver at West and<br />
demanded money. When West<br />
refused several times to turn over<br />
the money, Elkins fired a warning<br />
shot, shot the woman in the leg and<br />
the baby between the eyes, prosecutors<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> killing in the port city <strong>of</strong><br />
Brunswick drew national attention,<br />
and the trial was moved to the<br />
Atlanta suburb <strong>of</strong> Marietta owing to<br />
extensive publicity locally.<br />
Prosecutors have said information<br />
from Elkins' mother and sister<br />
led investigators to a pond where<br />
they found the revolver. Elkins' sister<br />
also was charged with evidence<br />
tampering.<br />
Lang, who was a key prosecution<br />
witness in Elkins' trial, is set to go to<br />
trial at a later date.<br />
West told <strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
that she didn't want to say too much<br />
following the verdict because there<br />
are still other trials pending in the<br />
case and she will be a witness and<br />
she will testify at Elkins' sentencing.<br />
"I knew why I was there and I<br />
knew that I didn't have my baby<br />
anymore," she said. "In the beginning<br />
I was in shock. Now things are<br />
kind <strong>of</strong> really setting in. But I'm<br />
hanging in there."<br />
West spent hours on the stand<br />
during the trial and was grilled by<br />
the defense on her personal and<br />
medical history.<br />
"I was a little nervous up on the<br />
stand and just being asked so many<br />
personal questions by the defense<br />
attorney," she said in a telephone<br />
interview. "It was embarrassing."<br />
<strong>The</strong> defense tried throughout the<br />
trial to prove that the investigation<br />
was flawed and that police refused<br />
to consider other leads or investigate<br />
further once they had Elkins in<br />
custody the day <strong>after</strong> the killing<br />
"<strong>The</strong>y finished their case in 25<br />
hours. Everything else they did <strong>after</strong><br />
that they just sugarcoated,"<br />
Lockwood said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> prosecution's witnesses —<br />
many with criminal histories and<br />
some drug users — lied repeatedly<br />
and changed their stories throughout<br />
the investigation, Lockwood<br />
said.<br />
