Iraq The L' .S. military on Wednesday closed Camp Bucca, an isolat~d desert .prison that was once its largest lockup in Iraq, as it moves to release thousands ·of detainee:-. or trunsfer ' them to Iraqi cu~tody before the end of the yeur.

Shiite extremists and alQaida m Iraq suspects swept up from battlefields over six years of war. Iraqi officials say some who have been freed have returned to violence. " "They've been vetted as some of the most dangerous threats not only to Iraq but mternationally.'' said Lt. Col. Kenneth King, the commander of the Bucca detention facility. On Wednesday, about a do1cn of the remaining 180 detainees - some of whom have been held for three years without cha1'ge - paced in circles around a fenced-in prison yard. dressed in yellow unifonns and sandals under the watch of n guard tower. One detainee inside a truiler frantically hanged on a metal grill covering his windO\\ and shouted in Arabic at a group of visiting reporters, •"Open the windo\\ !''

Sixty-tive have already been convicted and arc awaittng death ~entenc(:s, said Brig. Gen. David Quantock. the commander in charg~.: of the :detentit~n system. Iraqi officials in the former insurgent heartland around Fallujah haYe watched with concern ~ an influx of exdetainees from Bucca return to homes in places with few jobs, making them easy prey for militant recruiters. The U.S. military is raeing to empty its detention fucilities because a security pact that went into effect in January requires them to ~ither transfer detainees to Iraqi custody for prosecution or release them. The vast majority- 5,600 since Januru)' - have been freed due to a lack of evidence that would be admissible in Iraqi courts and the military's unwillingness to comprombe intelligence sources by bringing them forward as witnesses. About 1,400 have been handed over to Iraqi custody. and the U.S. mi1itary now holds around 8,400 prisoners. The closure of Bucca is the first maJOr step in shutting down a detention systern that was tainted by the Abu Ghraib scandal. The facility began as a small tent camp for prisoners of war just after the March 2003 invasion, with little more ;than concertina wire to keep those captured from escaping. . Coalition troops rolling across the Kuwaiti border immediately set about building the camp, and over the next !'>iX yeru·s it grew mto a 40-acre facility filled with row afte.r row of watchtowers, barbed-wiretopped fences and metal trailers or plywood barracks to house detainees. Named after Ronald Bucca, a former Green Beret and New York City fire marshall killed in the Sept. II attacks on the World Trade Center, the camp also houscs a forward operating base that will eventually be turned over to Iraqi marines. The facility was the target of abuse allegations from detainees and human rights groups. which denounced the holdmg of detainees there for years without charge. It was also the site of riots. including one in January' 2005 in which American guards fired on pri,.oncrs, killin~ four detamees m~d woundmg six others. In May of that year. U.S. authoritie~ thwa11cd a massive escape attempt when they discovered a 600-foot tunnel leading out of the prison. Dug with makeshift tools fashioned from buckets and tent material 15 feet underground, the escape route reached beyond the compound fence, with an opening. hidden beneath a floorboard. It \\as uncovered after guards found dirt in latrines and other place . The di~cov­ ery followed the escape a month earlier of II detainees \\ ho slipped through a hole in fence at the camp. Ten were eventually recaptured. After the abuses at Abu Ghraib. the U.S. military implemented a seric~ of reform~. aml authorities at Bucca strove to make it a model facility. with closer oversight by commanders and better truining for guards. Detainees were segregated bas~d on threat risk, natiom1lity and religious affiliation. and many were enrolled in clas~es to learn to read and write. On Wednesday. the camp was eerily empty except for those men remaining in a high-seculity area known as Compound 16. Vacant units were still decorated with mural:> painted by detamees. Some showed tropical islands and one depicted a man crouching meekly on the ground. Many detainees spent their Jays \vorking at a brick thetory on tht.• prison grounds or receiving \'ocational trc1ining. A sign posted at one gate listed basic rights under the Genevu Conventions. International human rights groups have expressed alarm over the transfer of detainees to an Iraqi judicial system they ~ay falls well short of international standards of fairness. And abuses have occurred in Iraq's prisons. say groups like Human , Rights Watch. "As the Americans Jump more detainees in an already overwhelmed Iraqi system, the opportunities for abuse will only grow,'' said Samer Muscati. a researcher on Iraq at the New York-based rights group.

The extraordinary step •has roots in animosities that :go back to the day~ of the :AusLro-Hungarian Empire ·and has S lovakm 's large Hungarian minority afraid of being pur<>ued by the language police. · Slovakia was once part of :Hungary and i~ home to n :population of 520,000 cth:nic Hungarians who complain of dis~rimination by the Slovak govcmmcnt. Slovak Prime Minister .Robe11 Ftco has said the law :does not apply to private :individuals only to offi.. ·cials and state institutions · - but there arc clear signs ... the le!!islation has started to affecteveryday life. ··some people are beginning to abuse this law;• said Eva Szucs, a sale~ woman at a shopping mall in Nove Zamky, a Slovak town with a large Hungarian population some 35 kilometers (2 I miles) north of the border with Hungary. Since the law came into force on Sept. 1, Szucs said she'd been involved in several incidents at her workplace. On m1e occasion, she was at the cash register and speaking in Hungarian to one of the buyers when someone in line warned her about her choice of language. "She said 'In Slovakia, Slovakian;·· recalled Szucs, adding that she had never before faced such problems since she started working at the mall in 1971. "There are plenty of people who want to provoke and cause conflicts nO\V.'' The law. which took effect on Sept. 1, limits the use of Hungarian and SIO\akia's other minority languages. in public and calls for fines of up to euro5.000 ($7 ,300) for anyone "misusing" language . The terms of the law are ambiguous. and officials have yet to spell out what constitutes an infraction. Tensions between Slovakia and llungary over the law huv~.: had serious diplomatic consequences, such a~ an unprecedented han last month on u private vbit to Slovakia by Hungarian Pres1dent Lnszlo Solyom. Rricuon dates back to the days of the AuMro-Hungari<m Empire, when Slovakia was absorbed into the sprawling state ruled by Hapsburgs from Vienna and Budapest. Hungary lost around half of its population and twothirds of irs territory when the empire crumbled at the 'end of World War 1, a painful issue for many . Hungarian even nearly 90 years later. Recentlv. relations between the countries took a hit when Jan Slota':-> ultranationalist Slovak National Party became p.art of Slovakia's government coalition in 2006. Fico and Gordon Bajnai. his Hungarian counterpart, met last week in a town on the Hungarian side of the border and whik the) agreed to a series a measures meant to improve relations, political tensions were palpable. While many Hungarian~ in Slovakia criticized the language law. most also blamed politicians for the squabbles. 8'1" Turk takes title of world's tallest man LONDON (AP) - A towering Turk was officially crowned the world's tallest man Thursday after his Ukrainian rival dropped nut of the running by refusing t<? be measured. Gumness World Records said that ~ foot 1 inch (2.47 meter) Sultan Kosen, from the town of Mardin in ea:-.tern Turkey, is now ofoficially the tallest man walkmg the planet. Although the previous record holder, Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk. reportedly measured 8 feet 5.5 inches (2.57 meters). Guinness said he was stripped of hb titk \\hen he declined to let anyone confinn his height. Stadnyk. 39. told The \ssociated Press he refused to be independently mea~urcd because he was tired of bein~ in the public eye. ''If thts title had given me more health or a few extra years. I would have taken it. but the opposite happened. l only wasted my nerve ~.·en~:· he ~uid. "If I have to choose between prosperity and calm. I choose calm."

BROTHER.S Child refuses to go to sleepovers with friends BY D R. J OYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: I Jove having a little girl, and have alway-: assumed she would go to slcepaway camp when she was g or ~. just like I did. When I talk to the other moms. they say this is what they arc planning, too. But she refuses to even go to her friends' houses for sleepover!;, and I am qurte sure she will fight me on the sleepaway camp idea next summer. I figure 1 have • almost a year to change her ! mind. What would you say 1 is the best approach to help her get with the program? - M.K. Dear 1\I.K.: In reading your letter. a couple of things stand out. The first i~ that you have a lot of confidence in your child's ability to enjoy slcepovers and to be ai•ay from home for the first time because you did it and enjoyed it! The second thing is that you set yourself a timetable for your daughter's milestone activities, such as slumber parties and sleepaway camp, based on your own schedule ·and that of the other Until you get in the habit, putting aside S<lvings is never easy. But the sooner you start, the snoncr you'll start seeing results. As you'll sec below, when it comes to savings, time is your best friend. The power of compounding. When you reinvest interest e~m1ed on savings account-s or other investment vehicles, the interest grows (compounds) the account's value much faster than if you withdrew it. For example. a one-time $10.000 investment earning 6 percent a ar would grow to $17.908 10 years if you reimest e mterest: after 20 yearc; it would be worth $32,071 and $57,435 after 30 years. Regular investments. You needn't ~tart with such a large initial investment to reap big rewards. Say you're 21, start with a 1ero balance, save S 100 a month. earn 6 percent annual interest and reinvest the interest. After I 0 )Cars you'd have $16,470; $46,435 after 20 yean. and $100,954 after 30 years. If ) ou retire at age 66 your account would be worth over $276,978 - all for a $1 00-amonth mvestment. Timing is important, however.

Both of these things come from a good place wanting your child to have the same great experiences you did - but they are not rl!alistic or usefu I, because they relate only to you and your past, and not to the present and your particular child, who - brace yourself - is not at all the same person you are! So, if you are willing to acknowledge the fact that your daughter's personality and maturity level have not been at the top of your list of consideratiOns in planning her life, then I think you can slow down and take a new look at her needs, and your own. Explore with her just what makes her uncomfortable about the idea of spending the night away from home. Let her ease into the idea of leaving her bed by ·'camping" in the family room or backyard with a fr iend. Take yourself and your timetable out of the picture. and I think l\cr anxieties may ease. Your goal should be for her to meet her own timetable. not to be pressured into yours. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: I am n happily married woman and mother of a ,12-yearold son. I raised my son alone for many years, and was hanpy when a father figure came into his life about six months ago. But my son refuses to get to know his new stepfather. He's begging me to send him away to a prep school. and maybe help him find his long-gone father .• ! find both ideas quite frightening. His .stepdad's feelings are hurt, and I feel terrible .tbout that. What do I do now?- T.S. Dear T.S.: As this young man's mother, you need to focus on his feehngs right now. His stepfather is a big boy and can take care of his own - and the fact that his feelings are hurt only speaks to the fact that he chooses to play the victim here. when he should be supporting you in your efforts to help your son adjust rather than try to cater to your new husband's fragile ego. But be that as it may, it's not so unusual or inappropriate that your son i~ using this time to examine his life, perhaps for the first time. With a new man in the house, he's naturally wondering where he came from and why his dad bn 't there for him - and in looking for models of the man he wants to be, he has rejected your husband. This man may be a much finer fe llow than the one you left behind. but it's normal fo r your son to want to compare them and figure things out for himself. If he wants to go away to school, perhaps you can explore one nearby. where you could visit often or he could come home as he becomes more comfortable with sharing his space and his mom with a "new·· dad. But this urge to m n awa:y tells me he might not have a social circle to keep him at home. This is perhaps more alarming than his rejecting your husband. So put the honeymoon on the back burner while you pay attention to your son in the months ahead and focus on his emotional welfare. {c) 2009 by King Feature.\ Syndicate Meigs Alumni re~g for reunion POMEROY - Plans arc moving forward for the third annual Reunion on the River of Meigs High School graduates to be held Oct. 9 and 10 .. , On Fnday.

Mothman rrom Page At For the Record 'Foreclosure -~- looks forward .to the large crowd every year. "It's the eighth year for the Mothman Festival and I am so proud for the fact that so many people make plans to Point Pleasant," visit Wamsley said. "I learn something new every year, just like all those that attend." With the itinerary for the Mothman Festival growing every year, Wamsley expects . a crowd of more than four thousand, which would break last year's record. "We are expecting record setting crowds again this year, of course. things like the weather and economy can always change things a bit," Wamsley said. He also pointed out that the festival is free to the public and that he would like to see more people become local involved in the festival. The eighth annual Mothman Festival has a jammed packed schedule full of speakers, food vendors, games. pageants, karaoke, eye witnesses, entertainment. memorabilia and much more. This year, new additions such as the Grumpy Peddlers will be on hand with their display of antique motorized bikes. The peddlers collect. customize and display their bikes from the 1940's and 1950's. Also making his second appearance at the festival will be the one and only Thrtleman, who will be sure to draw big crowds into his tent for his demonstration of grabbing turtles barehanded. Those young and old alike are always seen at the festival, scoping things out for themselves and getting information. Some even have chance encounters with the 'Mothgirl', the Ghostbusters, and of course, the Men in Black. "We get people from all walks of life,'' Wamsley said. "and it doesn't matter to me as long as they come to Point Pleasant." Wamsley is looking forward to the busy weekend and said that Mothman 's popularity is continuing to grow.

I �TIO The Daily Sentinel PageA6 Thursday, September 17, 2009 Rockets vie in simulated lunar landing contest BY JOHN ANTCZAK ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES- A pri vately built rocket vying for NASA prize money lifted off in the Mojave Desert and flew half of a simulated lunar lander mtsston Wednesday before an engine problem forced its developers to call off the attempt until next month. The flight of Masten Space Systems' unmanned "Xombie" at Mojave Air and Space Port comes just days after another competitor, Armadillo Aerospace, qualified for the S 1 million top prize with two flights in Texas. The Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge is funded by NASA and presented by the X Prize Foundation. the group behind the $10 million competition won in 2004 by SpaceShipOne, the first privately developed manned rocket to reach space and prototype for a fleet of space tourism rockets. The remotely controlled Xombie is competing for second-place in the first level of rhe competition, which requires a flight from one pad to another and back within two hours and 15 minutes. Each flight must rise 164 feet and last 90 seconds . How close the rocket lands to the pad's center is also a factor. Level 2 requires 180-second flights and a rocky moonlike landing pad. The energy used is equivalent to that needed for a real descent from lunar orbit to the surface of the moon and a return to orbit, said Peter Diamandis, founder of the X Prize. The Xombie made one 93-second flight and landed within 8 inches of the pad's ~enter, according to Tom Dietz, a competition .spokesman. David Masten. president and chief executive of Masten Space Systems, said the first leg of the t1ight was perfect but an internal engine leak was detected during an inspection before the return flight. "We saw a little bit of an issue ... in the engine and decided that the engine probably would not survive through another 90-second flight," he said. The problem had occurred previously. usually after three or four engine firings, but was believed to have been fixed . .Masten said the engine had been through a dozen firings without problems prior to Wednesday. Masten nonetheless considered the flight a success. "Other than that engine problem the vehicle was very well behaved," he said. The rockets in the lander competition look like plumber's playthings - all pipes and tanks without the sleek fairings, fancy paint and decals seen on launch vehicles that carry satellites into orbit. "If a rocket doesn't look like a flying propellant tank it's actually not a very efficient rocket,'' said John Carmack, the Armadillo Aerospace founder whose ''Scorpius'' rocket holds the lead in the lander challenge. On Sept. 12, the Scorpius successfully made two flights in the Level 2 competition and will win the $1 million top prize if no other .contender does better. Last year, Armadillo won first place and $350,000 in the Level 1 competition. In early October, Masten will try again to win the Level I second-place prize of $150,000 and, if possible, try to outdo Armadillo's performance in Level 2. Still to be heard from is a Study: Urban streams contaminated by road salt MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Many urban streams have become ~alty enough to harm aquatic life, . largely because of salt used for deicing roads in the winter, according to a new government study released Wednesday. The U.S. Geological Survey studied urban streams and groundwater for levels of chloride. a component of salt. in 20 states spanning from Alaska to the Great Lakes and Northeast. It found chloride concentrations above federal recommendations desisned to protect aquatic life tn more than 40 percent of urban streams tested. The highest levels were measured in those streams during the winter - as much as 20 times the federal guidelines - when salt and other chemicals are commonly used for deicing. The problem was less serious in groundwater, and fewer than 2 percent of the drinking-water wells sampled had chloride levels higher than federal standards for human consumption. Chloride levels generally were much higher in urban than rural areas. High chloride levels can slow plant growth, impair reproduction and reduce the diversity of organisms in affected waters. It also can affect the taste of drinking water drawn from them. Matthew Larsen, the federal agency's associate director for water, said road safety is a top priority when state and local officials decide to use salt. "And clearly salt is an' effective deicer that prevents accidents, saves lives, and reduces property losses," Larsen said in a statement accompanying the report. "These findings are not surprising. but rather remind us of the unintended consequences that salt use for deicing may have on our waters." · For those reasons. Larsen noted, transportation officials continue to develop innovations that reduce the need for road salt without compromising safety. The study found the rising levels were consistent over the last two decades with more use of road salt and the expansion of road networks and parking lots that get deicing. Some· of the highest concentrations of chloride were found in two creeks in the Twin Cities and four creeks in suburban Chicago, but Lincoln Creek in Milwaukee · exceeded the federal guidelines the most out of all the streams cited in the study. The findings are consistent with several other studies that blamed road salt, and its increased use, for water quality problems in streams and aqmfers. A University of Minnesota study published in Science of the Total Environment last year linked increasing salinity in Twin Cities lakes to increased use of road salt in their watersheds. Another study by some of the same researchers this year found those waters were getting saltier because most of the salt was being retained in the watersheds instead of being down the flushed • Mississippi River. And a 2005 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences said chloride concentrations were increasing in many surface water~ in the northeastern states at a rate that threatened to render them undrinkable and toxic to freshwater life. Eric Novotny. a researcher who worked on both the Minnesota studies, said certain species, mostly bugs at the beginning of the food chain, are typically the first affected by nsing chloride levels. Either they're killed outright or it affects their reproduction, reducing biodiversity among less tolerant species, which can have consequences farther up the food chain. Besides road salt, other sources of chloride include wastewater treatment plants, septic systems, water softeners, farms and more salt leaching from landfills, as weJl as natural sources. team that calls itself Unreasonable Rocket. It and any other contenders have u~til Oct. 31 to attempt fltghts. Diamandis said it remains a competition despite Armadillo's lead. "I think that Armadillo has a number of years ahead of Masten and other companies in terms of their development, but it's not over till it's over," he said. The real winners, he said, will be the public and NASA, which wilf have new technologies and development strategies to choose from. "We're seeing the Apple and Microsoft of the rocket generation being developed right now," he said. "You have to remember these are companies that are building these rocket vehicles with a half a dozen people for pennies on the dollar." Northrop Grumman is providing operational fundmg for the competition.

That's the challenge area firemen will face in a contest being conducted this year at the Sternwheel Riverfest. The activity, while competitive, is classified as new entertainment on the Sternwheel program. Several area fire departments are scheduled to take part, according to John Musser, festival chairman. It will take place from I :30 to 3 p.m. on Saturday and prizes will be awarded to the department which shows the most speed in their rescue work. Musser says there will be two or three people in the water - probably jumping off the Mason side of .the river or falling out of a boat - in need of rescue and each department will take a turn at doing the job in the shortcsrperiod of time. The wmner of the prize money will be the fire department completing the rescl}e in the shortest amount of time.

The Blue and White, on the other hand. have been outSCl")red 95-40 in three losses this fall - all of which ha\ e come against teams with current 3-0 records. Logan's potent offense is led by the reigning SEOAL P.layer of the year in senior quarterback Patrick Angle. Angle has amassed 849 yards of total offense in. three contests. including an imprc~sive 58-of-80 pa~sing for 757 yards and eight touchdowns.

Last year South Point came to Point Pleasant with an 0-3 record and mshed for about a million vards en route to a 34-26 win over the Big Blacb. The Pointers had three mshers go for over I 00 yards in the contest. This season the Pointers are again 0-3, having lost to the same t]lree opponents as last year -Portsmouth, Wheelersburg. and Portsmouth West. Three pretty good football teams. And, one of those 100 yard rushers -- Doug Dillon is back and running quite well. As Yogi Berra would sax, ''It's deja ,·u all over again . ''South Point is basically the same team that we saw a year ago." said Darst. "They arc big and strong. they will line up in that Wing T. and they will run the ball righ! at you. They are everyth mg that· they were a year ago. Last year they started out 03 before commg up here and beating us. The went on to finish 6-4. I'm sure thev are pointing at this game as one that can get them going againi' adaed Darst. Dillon isn't the only offensive weapon for the Pointers, though. Southpaw quarterback Kyle Dickess is ··an athlete". according to his coach Doug Shilot. He has a good arm and can run when the need arises. Other mnning backs in the talented stable are Will Hill, Tevin Mitchell. and Brandon Hedrick. Also look for big tight end Greg Taylor. a 6-3, 2R5 pound senior who can "do tt all'" according to Coach Shilot. Point will counter with an offensive attack that will look a little different than the one that lined up at Sissonville. couple of weeks ago. 1 offensive line saw much the changes. Casey Hogg will move to center with Gabe Starcher moving to left guard. The right guard will be Brock McClung. The tackles arc Clay Krebs on the right side and Derry Osborne on the left. The tight end will be Beau Bellamv. ~athan Robert() will move to halfback and Chris Blanken~hip will stali at tailback. The fullback is Jarod Long. Alternating at .split end will be Cody Greathouse and JaWaan Williams. Another player to look for on the offensive side of the ball is James Fielder.

New rivalries in the conference will develop quickly for Wahama and the travel times will be somewhat shorter.

Towles in the sixth inning of a baseball game, Wednesday in Cincinnati. Balentien scored on a hit by Drew Stubbs. Wild pitch decides Reds' win over Astros CINCINNATJ (AP) - A game that featured seven solo homers in the first five innings came down to an infield. single, a wild pitch - and the Cincinnati bullpen. Joey Votto scored the goahead run on a wild pitch in the seventh inning and the Reds overcame Jeff Keppinger's first career multihomer game and. five Houston homers in a 6-5 victory over the Astros on Wednesday night. Votto led off the seventh against Wesley Wright (33) with an infield single and went to third on a single by Brandon Phillips. Jeff Fulchino relieved Wright with Chris Coste going in at catcher in a double switch. Fulchino bounced a pitch that Coste couldn't handle, allowing Votto to break a 5-5 tic and give the Reds their second sweep of a three-game series against Houston in Cincinnati this season. "That's why they call baseball a fJ..lnny game." Fulchino said. "That's the way it goes. l threw a slider that backed up on me. [ think if you ask Coste, he blocks that nine times out of I0, but it bounced the other way." Reds manager Dusty Baker was glad to take it. "It doesn't matter how you get it as long as you get it,'' Baker said. "It feels good to win again and get back on a winning streak." Three Reds relievers combined to retire the last 11 batters. Jared Burton ( 1-0) retired all five he faced for the win. Nick Masset pitched a perfect eighth and Francisco Cordero worked the ninth for his 37th save and third in three games. "We just got ahead of the hitters. especially in the last inning," said Cordero, who has three blown saves this season. "The bullpen's been lights out down there. I feel like I'm .on a roll every time I have a save opportunity. I've got to go out there and do my job. That's why they pay me the money they pay me." Keppinger. a former Red, had two of Houston's five solo shots - all off Reds starter Justin Lehr but that wasn't enough to keep the Astros from their fourth consecutive loss. "That was an interesting game to read between the lines," said Cincinnati's Jonny Gomes, who led off the second with his 20th homer. "It's tough to win a game with solo home runs.'" Gomes, mired in a 3-for24 slump going into the game, gave Cincinnati a 1- 0 lead. Houston responded in the third with homers by Kaz Matsui, Carlos Lee and Keppinger, each of which was followed by an out. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Michael Cuddyer is a bit surprised the Minnesota Twms have overcome so much and are still in the pennant race. He's a big reason why. Cuddyer homered, doubled and drove in three runs Wednesday and the 1\vins beat the Cleveland Indians 7-3 for a three-game sweep. Joe Mauer smgled twice, raising his major leagueleading average to .374, and drove in two runs as the Twins won their fourth in a row. Just two games over .500, Minnesota began the day 4 l/2 games behind Detroit in the AL Central. The Tigers were home Wednesday mght and Thursday afternoon against Kansas City, then vtsit the Metrodome for a three-game set beginning Friday. "The way we've played this year, it's amazing we still have a chance and it's sitting in front of us," said Cuddyer, who has replaced the injured Justin Morneau at first base, anq is 8 for 16 in those four games. "At this point we need everybody to contribute. Even the guys that are hurt we need them to cheer us on." It's been like that much of the year. Mauer missed the first month of the season, and Minnesota's starting rotation has been in flux nearly all season, including the absence of Kevin Slowey since July 4. "It's fun to watch. Matt Tolbert's getting out there and battling and covering ground at third base, (Orlando) Cabrera seems to always put some good swings on the ball, Nick Punto's been playing a lot better," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "(Denard) Span's been there and Cuddy and Mauer. ... The rest of them have to step UJ? and do things, and tnat s what's been happening.'' Now comes the first of seven remaining games with the Tigers. "We get the first three here and we need to take advantage of that,'' outfielder Jason Kubel said. Matt LaPorta homered and RBis for had three Cleveland, which has lost four straight and 13 of 16. Nick Blackburn (10-11) allowed two earned runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings for his second win in 12 starts since the All-Star break. He lowered his second-half ERA from 7.36 to 6.90. Joe Nathan struck out the final two batters for his 41st save in 46 chances. Cuddyer homered leading off the fifth and added an RBI double in the seventh. The home run was the second in three games for Cuddyer, who hit a three-~ shot to lead Monday 's ~ comeback win. · Blackburn came up with his third solid start m four outings. The lone blip was last Friday, when he a11owed six earned runs in three innings against Oakland. Blackburn retired the Indians in order three timeS in the first four innings. and got out of a two-on, no-out' Jam in the fifth when Kelly Shoppach grounded into a double play and Trevor Crowe grounded out. ''He' threw more curvehalls in the first two or three innings than he did in his entire last start, although he was still up in the zone too much," Gardenhire said. LaPorta hit a two-run shot in the seventh and added an RBI single in the eighth before Slioppach popped O\lt with the bases loaded. "It's important not to give in right now," LaPorta said. "It doesn't matter what the situation is around yo. That's part of being a man finishing strong. Just come out here every day and try and get better for the ballclub.'' Matsui's was his second homer in two nights and seventh of the season, matching the career high pe set with the New York Mets in 2004. Lee's was his 26th, and Keppinger's was his sixth and first in 32 at-bats since Aug 28. Drew Stubbs led off the Reds' third with his seventh homer of the season tnd second in two nights. and Scott Rolen added a tying sacrifice fly. The Reds took their second lead when Wladimir Balentien scored on Lehr's suicide-squeeze bunt in the fourth, but Geoff Blum and Keppinger came up with • consecutive homers in the fifth. Blum's was his lOth of the season and first in 60 at-bats since Aug. 16. "I have been lifting weights," Keppinger said. "I've had a lot of time to do it. Hitting five home runs doesn't mean much when you lose. This is a good park to hit home runs in. The ball carries and it plays small.'' The Astros hit five Minnesota Twins' Nick Punto, left, makes it safely to third on a single by Denard Span homers on April 8, against Cleveland Indians third baseman Jhonny Peralta, right, bobbles the ball during the fourt inning of a baseball game In Minneapolis, Wednesday. the Cubs. .
