Columbus man sentenced
Columbus resident Jermaine King (left) talks with attorney Todd Workman before being sentenced in Wyandot County Common Pleas Court on Thursday to 10 months in prison for carrying a concealed weapon. The 26 year old did not have a permit to carry the weapon and had a previous felony record, disqualifying him from getting a permit. People who got licenses when the carrying concealed weapons law first was passed in Ohio four years ago must renew their licenses.

Stanford shoots 62 to take Safeway International lead
SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN, Ariz. (AP) - Angela Stanford shot a career-best 10-under 62 on Thursday to break the Prospector Course record and take a three-stroke lead over defending champion Lorena Ochoa in the Safeway International.
Stanford, the 2003 ShopRite LPGA Tour Classic winner, had a bogey-free round at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club. She had six birdies in a front-nine 30 and birdied the final two holes for a back-nine 32.
"It all happened so slowly," Stanford said. "I'm still in a fog. It's just one of those days you can't even get in your own way."
The 30-year-old Texan broke the course record of 63 set by Cristie Kerr in 2004, and topped her previous career best of 64 in the first round of the 2006 Canadian Open.

McNamee gives speech to workout buffs
EVERETT, Mass. (AP) - Former New York Yankees trainer Brian McNamee resurfaced to give a brief motivational speech to a small group of workout buffs but refused to comment on the steroid scandal that landed him and his famous former client in front of Congress.
