It was installed last week, adding Meigs to a number of Ohio counties with quilt barns. The barn is historic, and the quilt pattern Will created includes a tribute to Horton a red heart in the center block. She said the barn itself was built around the end of the Civil War. based on construction techniques. including the use of pegs and square nails . Will aid, the project was undertaken in honor of late members on both sides of her family. She is "some\\ hat" of a quilter. volunteering regularly at the Comfort Club at the Mulberry Community Center, a group that makes comforters for families in need. But as much as she appreciates the beauty of quilts, she appreciates the history of her family's farm and the memories of her passed loved on~:s, even more. There are over 200 such barns in America, bu.t the tratlition began in Adams.

The government said Monday new U.S. :f'lome sales rose by the largest amount in nearly nine. years :,ast month, in another sign the housing market is finally '-t>ouncing back from the worst downturn in decades. · Home sales rise as housing market tries a comeback WASHINGTON (AP) - New home sales rose last month at the fastest clip in more than eight )'Cars as buyers . eagerly took advantage of bargain prices - a clear sign. : economist!-> said. that the real estate market may finally be :bouncing back. Historically low interest rates and a federal tax credit for first-time homeowners also helped push home sales to their highest level since ~ovember. the Commerce Department . . . . reported Monda)'. While home pru.:es arc ~till falltng around the country, l.ales hm e no\\ risen for three month's in a ro\\. Construction of ncv. homes is at the busiest level smce last .fall. And home resales rose in June for the third straight .month. ~ "The worst of the hou-.ing recession." said Da\'id Resler, ·chief econombt at Nomura Securities ''is no\\ behind us." And as .., ith the overall economy. the "recovery" is like I) to be siO\\ and arduous. he said. Put in perspecthe, the improvement in sales is modest. The pace of sales for ne'' homes in June was still 72 per~ cent below the peak of four summers ago, and there is still ·an enormous imentory of homes lingering on the market. · "There's been signs of improvement. but we're a long ways off from being back to a normal market." said Corey Barton. president of CBH Homes in Meridian. Idaho. Sales were up there in June, but Barton stressed: ··Jt wasn't our ·biggest JUmp in eight years.'' But there were clear ~igns the housing market is showing -more than life than it has at any point since the recession ·began. Keystone Custom Homes of Lancaster, Pa., which was founded in 1992, had ib best June ever. July is looking good. and president Lany Wisdom expects an even stronger August. "We doubled our sales in May, and then in June it took off," he said. 'Jew home :-;ales for June clocked in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 384.000. blowing past the expecta~ions of economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters . who were looking for 360.000. The figure is up 11 percent from .May. and May's number of 346.000 was higher than previously thought. The · increase is the largest since December 2000. v. hen ; investors scarred by the tech-stock bubble were looking for more stable places to put their mone). Sales were strongest in the Midwest. where they jumped 43 percent from May's total. Sales climbed 29 percent in ...the Northeast and 23 percent in the West. They declined ~-slightly in the South. •' The median sales price was $206,200, down from : $234.300 a vear and $219,000 from May. Economists .. expect home prices to continue falling until the competition .. from low-priced foreclosures ebbs sometime next year. ,. To drum up sales, CBH Homes has had to slash prices by · up to 10 percent from last year's levels. The new homes ; CBH builds have to compete with the glut of foreclosures, ' which are drawing many first-time homebuyers. In addition to lower prices, buyers are rushing to take • advantage of a federal tax credit that co,·ers 10 percent of ::the home price or up to $8.000 for first-time buyers. Home sales must be completed by the end of November for buy: ers to take ad ..·antage. .. There's definitely more first-time homebuyers in the market 1 man what we've s4ien in the last several yea.rs," Barton said. ' Fallout from the housing crisis played a central role in the U.S. recession. now the longest since World War ll. Mortgages went bad. homebuilders ~ulled back and fired thousands of workers. foreclosures sptked and lenders were shuttered by the doLen. • Although the real estate f'!lar~et .appears to be starting a recovery, that doesn't mean 1t \\Ill mstantly become a pov.erful economic engine. Construction is weak because builders still have too many unsold homes sitting vacant. At the current sales pace. there are enough new homes for ·sale to last nearly nine months. That's slightly less time .than in May but still much longer than the six-month mark .that indicates a balanced market. 4 I I WAS HI NGTON President B<1rack Obnma put forward his top economic ofticiab on .\1onduy to tr) to reassure China that the U.S. will not let huge budget deficit~ or runaway inflation jeopardize the value of Chinese invest ment!-1 here. · Among the oflicials meeting with Chinese representative~ i\1onday. the first day of t\Vo-day talks, were Treasury Secretar) Timothy Gcithner, Federal Re!->en·e Chairman Ben Bernanke. 1\:ational Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers and Peter Ors?..ag.

Afghan human-rights officials, reports the Associated Press, "said they cot,J)d not comment on the BBC probe because they were not allowed into the prison and had no information on it." Does Obama have any explanation for our military barring Afghan humanrights representatives from Bagram in their own country'? One of these humanrights commissioners excluded from this American "legal black hole" is Mohammad Farid Hamidi. ''The (Afghan) constitution," he told the Associated Press, "has given us the authority to monitor the condition of pnsoners throughout Afghanistan. and especially the coalition detention centers, but thcv have refused to let us in.''· In the July 16 Washington Post story on this mass nonviolent act of conscientiOUS objection by our "detainees" in Bagram. reporters Greg Jaffe and Julie Tate quote U.S. human-rights advocates as charging that the indefinite imprisonment of the Afghan citizens at Bagram "has been a source of anger among Afghan citizens."~ Adds Jonathan Horov.it7, a consultant for the U.S.based Open Society Institute who in Afghanistan is inter- viev.·ing families of Bagram prisoners as well as former inmates: "U.S. detention policy is destroying the trust and confidence that many Afghans had in U.S. forces when they first anived in the country.''

"Central to this effort was the expansion of the internment facility at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan."

Senate candidate and Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner wants a review of the state's handling of tax information involving his law linn. Attomey Rid. Stunner has asked I nspcctor General Tom Charles to mvestigate the cancellation of his corporate cha11er in May for failure to file proper paperwork with the Department of Taxation in 1998 and 200 I. He wants to know how the <!ancellation became public so quickly. n::prising a recent l1igh-profile infonnation disclosure case involving Ohio resident Samuel Joseph ''Joe the Plumber·· Wurzelbacher. Brunner also que:-tions the riming and circumstances 6ehind the state's action. His wife's Senate rival. Lee Fisher. is lieutenant governor in the administratTon that oversees the tax department. Both Fisher and Jennifer Brunner are Democrats vying for the seat bemg vacated by reuring t.;.S. Sen. George Voinovich. a Republican. State Tax CommisslOner Richard Levin said in 'a July 16 interview with the Associated Press that the cancellation most likely followed a routine review conducted in April. when roughly 10,000 Ohio businesses were caught in a computer sweep seeking late 2007 tax filers. Careful not to mention Brunner's case specifically. Levin said he is confident the Tax Department did not target a particular business for polittcal purposes. He said doing so is practically impossible because of the automation involved. Rick Brunner has produced paperwork that appears to show he filed liis 2007 paperwork on time. He also notes that the year 2007 was not referenced m either of two letters he recei\'ed from the state. Brunner has asked Charles to examine how the corporate infonnation got so quickly mto the hands of the press after action was taken and whether statements by public officials in n!sJxmsc to the story broke confidentiality. The letter c<ulcclling Rick Brunner':-. incorporation charter is a public record and is readily accessiblo. online. However. Brunner says it should not have bl.!en sent in the first place. He has produced tax records for the press that show he also made timely filings in both 1998 and 200 I . His complete tax records are confidential. so only those letters he authorizes have been released. Fisher campaign manager Geri Prado suggested the Brunner campaign was engaging in ''bizarre conspiracy theories" \\ hile Fisher is concentrating on bringing jobs to Ohio's ailing economy. "These charges are completely baseless and unfortunate. It's up to the Inspector General to determine whether to pursue this, and we will cooperate fully with his decision." she said.

Contador said: "It was in the hotel.'' "It has been an especially difficult Tour for me. but I savor it and it is more special because of it.'' he said after the awards ceremony. But the Spaniard didn't even take a tumble and was so dominant that his reign on the Tour seems as if it could last a long time. "Contador is first of all a great climber. very elegant and flowing.''

GARFIELD T~Ai~ PRrTiY CooL We are looking at suit-preference ~tg· nals. When one defender is giving hts partner a ruff. the value of the card led to deliver the ruff tells his partner which of the other two side suits to return. The aim tS to get back in to provide a second ruff. If you have led a short suit and hope to receive a ruff, watch carefully, so you know whether partner's card that gives you the ruff is high or low. This deal trips up lhe less observant. Against four spades, West leads the heart 10: four, king. three. East cashes the heart ace: five, two. six. East leads the heart eight: queen, spade five, heart seven. What should West do now? East might have used the Unusual No· Trump. making a two·no-trump overcall to show at least 5·5 in the red suits (the lowest unbid suits). West's high·low in hearts guaranteed a doubleton. (With three cards m the suit, he would have led his lowest.) So, since Epst is giving West a ruff, his trick-three card says whether he wants West to return a diamond or a club. Here, because East led his lowest remaining heart, he was askmg for a club shift. But someone not watching might think the eight was a high card (which an etght often is) and switch to diamonds. West ought to remember all the cards that have been played, but he coud also realize that he has not seen the heart jack, so East cannot have led his highest heart at trick three. West shaJid therefore lead a club, gtving East a ruff to defeat the contract.

Even then, Goodell said he didn't finally make up his mind until Sunday, which seems somewhat surprising because there were a number of media reports filed well before that predicting the commissioner CHICAGO (AP) - Some tweaking to the Bowl Championship Series rules gives greater access to the Rose would do pretty close to Bowl to teams outside the six conferences with automatic what he ended up doing. Then again, it wasn't all BCS bids - such as Utah. The Big Ten and Pacific-10 champions are contractually that tough to figure out. hl>und to play in the Rose Bowl unless one of those teams Goodell may fancy himself as a disciplinarian, but there qualifies for the national championship game. ·Starting with the 2010 season and running through the wasn't a lot of upside to 2bl3 season, the first time the Rose Bowl loses one of its keeping Vick out of the conference champions and a team from one of the non- league when even the PETA automatic qualifying leagues earns a BCS bid, the Rose types had quieted down and the growing consensus Bowl must take that team.

He was batting .285 with 11 home runs and 39 RBis in 78 games for Cleveland, including .343 this m,onth. The Giants, who fell out of the wild-card lead with a 3-7 road trip. gave up Class-A left-hander Scott Barnes in the deal. Barnes was 12-3 with a 2.85 ERA and 99 strikeouts in _1;8 starts and 98.0 innings. BCS tweaks Rose Bowl for access .-.. --~-~-~ Indy Reds signing Vick. Instead of holding a protest march in front of NFL headquarters, the activist group put out a statement saying it would simply continue to "watch him like a hawk." That, of course, was all part of the master plan crafted by Vick's advisers long before he got out of prison in Kansas. Vick began by co-opting the animal groups by promising to work on anti-dogfighting efforts even as he resurrected his football career, and he and his people seem to have worked every angle just right to convince Goodell that he is truly a changed man. Time has been on Vick's side, too. It's been more than two years since we learned about the horrific things that happened at the Bad Newz Kennels, and the images that so sickened animal lovers across America are no longer nearly so vivid in our minds. The dogs have also all moved on, for the most part. Vick paid nearly $1 million for the continuing care of the survivors, and some have even gone on to cushy lives as family pets. As for the others? Well, dead dogs tell no tales. Just for the record, I was one of those who thought Vick. 's crimes - and no matter what you think of Vick they are vicious, despicable crimes - should keep him both out of society and out of football for a long time. I had read all the grisly details of h@w dogs were maimed and killed in the name of sport, and was especially troubled by the statement of an informer who said Vick and his buddies sometimes put family pets in with the fighting dogs just to see them slaughtered. But we live in a society where second chances are almost a birthright and, no matter how heinous Vick's actions were, it's hard to argue against giving him one. He's done all the right things since being locked up. and seems to have replaced the people who formerly rode with him with a solid group of advisers and mentors such as former• Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy that he can seek counsel from. For some people, that won't be good enough. For some people, n~thing will ever be good enough. But Goodell promised to make a decision when Vick's sentence was up, and he didn't waste a lot of time doing it. What he came up with was a well-conceived plan for reinstatement that relies heavily on the good intentions o'f both Vick and the people around him, putting the onus on the former star quarterback to prove himself every day. If Vick does what he promises. he likely has career in the NFL one again. If he doesn't, there always that .$lO-anconstruction job to fall on. The speculation now shift::; to what teams might want Vick and the baggage that he still brings. Some have already said they're not interested, but good quarterbacks are always in short supply in the NFL. And, suddenly, a Vick signing does not look nearly as risky public relations-wise as it might have before. What may scare teams away more than the idea of a dog killer behind center is the idea Vick may not be the quarterback he once was. He's a running quarterback who lost two years of his prime, and teams might just want to wait until he proves he still has his legs in, say the new UFL. before making a move. Indeed, Vick's future remains uncertain, d~spi. Goodell's ruling. A lot things still have to happen before he takes a snap in the NFL again. and there's no guarantee he '11 be successful along the way. At least for now, though, everything is going exactly to plan. first baseman started screaming at him. After he was ejected, Votto tossed aside his helmet and bat, then repeatedly pointed to his eyes and head as he stood between the plate and the dugout, continuing to scream at Crawford. It was the second time this month that Votto was ejected for arguing a third strike. He also was kicked out of a game July 12 against the Mets.
