Hes a rescue, Gator Dave explained. Someone got him as a pet and then released him into the wild. I found him in a pond at Scioto Reserve. If he lived in the wild, he would be probably twice the length he is now. He could eventually get as long as 13-20 feet. The audience learned about all varieties of reptiles and their way of life.

Thousands fall utility payment scam

By SCOTT BAUER The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. As much as President Barack Obama wants your vote, hes not actually offering to pay your monthly bills. But thousands of Americans have been persuaded otherwise, falling victim to a fast-moving scam that claims to be part of an Obama administration program to help pay utility bills in the midst of a scorching summer. The scheme spread quickly across the nation in recent weeks with help from victims who unwittingly shared it on social media sites before realizing they had been conned out of personal information such as Social Security, credit card and checking account numbers. No one knows who is behind this, said Katherine Hutt, spokeswoman for the Council of Better Business Bureaus in Arlington, Va. Were pretty concerned. It seems to have really taken off. People from all corners of the country report being duped, from New Jersey to California, Wisconsin to Florida and all parts in between. The scam benefits from being cleverly executed and comes at a time when air conditioners in much of the country are running around the clock to tame record-high temperatures. Heres how it works: Victims typically receive an automated phone call informing them of the nonexistent utility program that will supposedly pay up to $1,000. There have also been reports of the hoax spreading by text

the information to Morris, a Detroit woman who is unemployed after losing her job as a manager at a KFC restaurant. Morris quickly took advantage, providing her Social Security number and asking for $187 toward her DirecTV bill and $800 toward what she owed DTE Energy, a Michigan utility. It was very disappointing to me, Morris said Thursday after learning she had been deceived. They shouldnt do that to people. I just lost my job in February, so its very hard for me to come up with extra money. It wasnt clear whether law enforcement agencies were investigating. A message left with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington was not immediately returned. The first reports of the hoax surfaced in the spring and spiked in May and early July. Utilities and Better Business Bureau offices swiftly issued warnings. We see a lot of door-todoor scams, Hutt said. It is somewhat unusual to see one thats so well tied-together. There could be copycats in there. Were not entirely sure. At this point its probably more than one scammer. Victims appear to be concentrated in New Jersey, where about 10,000 customers of Public Service Electric & Gas were conned. The first complaints arrived in May, but the bulk of them came over a six-day period in late May and early June, company spokeswoman Bonnie Sheppard said. The scam quickly grew as victims shared the word on social media, thinking it was a legitimate federally sponsored program, Sheppard said. And of course, that can become confusing because there are legitimate federally sponsored programs.

Victims are told that all they have to do is provide their personal information. In exchange, they are given a bank routing number and checking account number to provide their utility company when making a payment. The swindle works because the payments with the fake bank account number are initially accepted. Only when the payments are processed hours or days later is the fake number caught and rejected. But by then, victims have told friends about the offer, posted it online and, most important, turned over personal information that could allow con artists to dip into their bank accounts or steal their identity. Theres no way to accurately measure how many people have been affected, but this one feels like its pretty widespread, Hutt said. Taneisha Morris sister was drawn into the hoax after a friend received a text promising federal assistance with her bills. The sister sent

We also received $300 from the Green Thumb Garden Club which was earmarked by the club for landscaping around the First Edition building, which well wait until fall to start on. The board also reviewed the tax budget for the year as presented by fiscal officer Janet Bonifas. In 2010, we had a carryover of $439,000. In 2011, it was $457,000 and then this year it was $400,000, she said. The estimate for 2013 is about $324,000. I dont want to have to say it will be that low but were definitely in need of funding. They gave approval for Bonifas to present the budget information to Allen and Van Wert counties. The board also took time

American Idol at crossroads after Tylers exit

By LYNN ELBER The Associated Press LOS ANGELES American Idol is on the brink of an adolescent identity crisis. Judge Steven Tyler is leaving and taking his naughty rock star vibe with him, fellow judge Jennifer Lopez is dithering about staying put, and ratings for the Fox show have declined as TVs talent show field gets more competitive. When American Idol returns for its 12th season next January, it will have to be a reengineered version of the once-powerhouse series that turned hopefuls such as Jennifer Hudson into stars and gave network rivals fits. One big step would be a clean sweep of the judging panel. Aerosmith frontman Tyler got the ball rolling with his announcement Thursday that he was putting rock n roll ahead of the show that he said had been over-the-top fun. I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and Im back but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I got two fists in the air and Im kicking the door open with my band, Tyler said in a statement. Aerosmith is on a nationwide tour with Tyler and has an album due out in the fall. Tylers departure leaves original judge Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez, but their futures are cloudy. In a phone interview with The Associated Press as the news about Tyler broke, Lopez said she was saddened to hear that he was leaving and was weighing her own decision. I cant even imagine anyone else there right now because Ive just spent two years sitting next to him, she said. I love Steven, and we

to give Mericle permission to request quotes from insurance carriers for the library. Every year weve only contacted Delphos companies, she said. Last year, we ended up getting one quote, so it was suggested to me that we also contact Lima companies. Well still send to the Delphos people but the more bids we get the more likely we are to get a good quote. In other news, Mericle gave the board a date for when the library will enter the SEO Consortium, which will greatly increase the number of items available to Delphos patrons. Jan. 16 is when were getting in, she said. They decided not to do any libraries in December because of the holidays and that ended up working well for us. Unfortunately, January 16 is a Wednesday, which means well only be working with half of the staff that day due to cuts in hours, so were going to contact them and see if theyll maybe do it the next day.

became close during that time. We were a great support for each other, on an adventure that neither one of us knew what it was going to be. So its hard to hear that he wont be doing it. Lopez, who proved a warm charmer on Idol, said Tylers departure will play a role in her decision to stay or go. She has already indicated that there is a good likelihood that she will not be back. Jackson and his dawg! exclamations have been a stalwart part of Idol. But the shows multi-year contracts, such as the one Jackson signed, typically include an escape clause that the network can choose to exercise or not. A call to Jacksons representative was not returned Wednesday. Fox declined to make an executive available to discuss the show and its judges, but one expressed measured regret over Tylers decision in a statement. We are very sad that Steven has chosen to focus more on his music, but we always knew when we hired a rock n roll legend, he would go back to his music, said Mike Darnell, the networks president of alternative entertainment. Speculation about potential new panelists has focused on Mariah Carey, with former Idol runner-up Adam Lambert getting a shout-out from his fans. Much is at stake for the show and for its judges: Lopezs contract reportedly was worth $12 million and the stint proved a career-booster for her. Ryan Seacrest, the other original cast member, will provide a stable center. He signed a two-year contract with American Idol producers this spring to continue as host.

BEIRUT (AP) Antiregime activists in Syria said today that government gunners rained shells on a poor, farming village before armed thugs moved in, leaving scores of people dead in what rebels claim could be one of the worst single days of bloodshed in the uprising against Bashar Assads regime. The accounts some of which claim more than 200 people were killed in the violence Thursday could not be independently confirmed, but would mark the latest in a string of brutal offensives by Syrian forces attempting to crush the rebellion. The head of the U.N. monitoring mission in Syria singled out government forces for blame, saying they attacked from the air and ground in continuous violence. Yet much remains unclear about what happened in Tremseh in central Syria, such as what prompted the attack or whether all of the dead are civilians. Also questions remain about why Assads troops moved against the isolated village. One activist group said dozens of the dead were rebel fighters. Amateur videos showed the bodies of 17 people said to have been killed. Local activists, who gave the high death toll, could not provide lists of names, saying they were still being compiled. One clip showed a young man wailing over the body of an elderly grey-haired man wrapped in a blanket and lying in the street.

BRIEFS

Kasich admin. delaying Medicaid submission

By ANN SANNER Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio officials said Thursday they will delay submitting a plan to the federal government to overhaul the Medicaid eligibility process for a portion of the state residents who receive the tax-funded health services, partly because of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Barack Obamas health care overhaul. The state must first decide whether to opt out of the Medicaid expansion contained in the law before going forward with any changes to eligibility, said Greg Moody, director of the governors Office of Health Transformation. Because the expansion is now optional, it forces us to now think through all the different sorts of permutations you could have around where you set eligibility standards, Moody said. About 2.2 million Ohioans are enrolled in the Medicaid program, which serves the poor and disabled. Officials had planned to submit the proposed eligibility changes for federal approval this month. The changes would apply to the 700,000 nonpregnant adults who dont need Medicaid services or support long-term. Moody said the states overall goal to streamline the complicated process remains unchanged. And officials still want any eligibility changes to take effect by 2014. Were going to see it through, Moody said in an interview. Even without an expansion, Moody said the state is bracing for hundreds of thousands of eligible Ohioans to sign up for Medicaid once the federal law requires most people to have health insurance. Officials estimate that will amount to roughly $940 million more in the cost of the program on the state in 2014 and 2015. Gov. John Kasich said hes concerned about the costs and the rulings impact as he prepares for the states next two-year budget. He says the added costs will force him to go back and look at the Medicaid program and its benefits. Moody said officials dont want to rush into a plan until they work through the policy decisions of the next state budget, which lawmakers will debate next spring. Were putting everything

AKRON (AP) A northeast Ohio restaurant owner who hosted President Barack Obama for breakfast and died hours later is being remembered for the homey atmosphere she created for her customers. Seventy-year-old Josephine Ann Harris of Copley Township died of natural causes on July 6. She had hugged the president earlier that day when he showed up to eat at her Akron-area restaurant, called Anns Place. The Akron Beacon Journal reports that friends attending a funeral for Harris on Thursday described her restaurant as a second home, full of memories and familiar faces. Billy Parsons said his mother was a big fan of Obama and meeting the president at the restaurant provided her a final burst of happiness. Obama previously called Harris daughter to express his condolences. COLUMBUS State officials are moving forward with plans to better coordinate care for Medicaid beneficiaries with severe mental illness who also face chronic medical issues, such as asthma or diabetes. Under the proposal, providers would partner with doctors, pharmacists, social workers and others to better address the patients mental, behavioral and physical health needs. State health officials said Thursday the new benefit is slated to begin Oct. 1 in Butler, Adams, Scioto, Lawrence and Lucas counties. The remaining counties will be phased in, with all 88 counties providing the service by next July. Roughly 177,000 state reschoose to get the benefit. Tracy Plouck, director of the states Department of Mental Health, said the idea is to lower future Medicaid spending on those with serious and persistent mental illness without cutting back their services. An adult with serious and persistent mental illness costs the program three times more than the typical adult on Medicaid, according to state figures. The so-called health homes benefit aims to get doctors and other health professionals communicating with behavioral health centers about the patients conditions and ways to improve their health. The idea allows for more sharing of electronic medical records and coordinating For instance, a care manager at a mental health center could help a Medicaid beneficiary who has abscesses in his or her mouth get the much needed dental care. That coordination then leads to better health and likely helps the person avoid possible health complications down the road. Were spending for this population in a way thats more much expensive today, Plouck said in an interview. The thinking is that if we can introduce primary care, well be spending in a different way, but hopefully less than we otherwise would have been.

COLUMBUS (AP) A railroad operator says it has cleared the Columbus site of a train derailment and explosion and restored full rail service in the area. Part of a train derailed early Wednesday on Norfolk Southern Corp. tracks north of downtown, and three tank cars carrying ethanol exploded, causing a fire that burned for hours. Norfolk Southern says the cars have been cleared from the site, and the second of two affected main-line tracks reopened early Friday. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating what caused the crash. A board member has said the train was traveling below the recommended speed before the crash, and its operators noticed no problems with the track as they approached the curve where it happened. The full investigation could take up to a year.

back on the table benefits, rates, everything to make sure were able from a fiscal standpoint to balance the Medicaid budget and accommodate this additional $940 million, he said. Once were confident that we have a strategy that will allow us to do that then well be able to move on and consider additional policy questions, including this question of where do we ultimately set eligibility. Determining whether a person is eligible for Medicaid can take as long as 45 days. Case workers must evaluate applicants against more than 150 categories. The hurdles can deter people from finishing the application process and getting the medical care they need. Moody said state officials will work on the eligibility proposal into the fall while they draft the new budget. Maybe it stays the same. Maybe it changes. Maybe its something entirely different, he said. Meanwhile, officials plan to move forward with replacing an outdated computer system that frequently denies Medicaid eligibility in error and causes a huge administrative burden.

The Marion Township Trustees met Monday at the Marion Township Office with the following members present: Jerry Gilden and Howard Violet. The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. The Trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 19 checks totaling $68,031.34. Road Foreman Elwer stated that there are numerous trees in the right of way in the township that probably need to be removed and will get with the County to see if they can assist. Fiscal Officer Kimmet gave the trustees the Bank Reconciliation and Fund Status report for June 30 for review and signature. He gave the Trustees a copy of the recently completed audit for 2010-11 and reported that it was a clean audit with no findings. He asked if there were any questions regarding the 2013 Budget and after some discussion, Trustee Violet offered a resolution to accept it as is which was seconded by Trustee Gilden and is 65 in

A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, blacks, Latinos and young adults. But residents and election administrators around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens and people already registered to vote. Brenda Charlston wasnt the only person to get documents for her pet: A Virginia man said similar documents arrived for his dead dog, Mozart, while a woman in the state got forms for her cat, Scampers. On a serious note, I think its tampering with our voting system, Charlston said. Theyre fishing for votes: Thats how I view it. Every presidential election cycle brings with it a variety of registration drives targeting people who typically are underrepresented at the polls, and Republicans have long seized on sloppy or questionable registrations as a sign of potential fraud on the part of Democrats. Its an issue that is particularly sensitive this year GOP political leaders have used fears of fraud to successfully push laws across the country that could make voting more difficult by requiring voters to show identification. Democrats have fought the laws, arguing that they can disenfranchise citizens, minorities in particular. The group at the root of the questionable mailings the Voter Participation Center acknowledges that the databases it uses to contact possible voters are imperfect because they are developed from commercially collected information. The group also says it expects people who receive misdirected mail to simply throw it away. Several election officials said they believed the voter registration systems were secure enough to catch people who might improperly submit the misdirected documents. But administrators in New Mexico, a potential swing state in the 2012 presidential race, warned that ineligible voters who complete the documents could make it onto the rolls. New Mexico is one of two states in which noncitizens can qualify for a drivers license by simply proving residency not necessarily legal residency and state elections officials have no way of verifying the legal

One Year Ago The life and legacy of the late Bob Arnzen, long-time St. Johns boys basketball coach, was celebrated Tuesday night. Many family members, former coaching rivals/friends and just plain friends who knew him gathered at Keiths Landeck Tavern to talk about their favorite memories of the man that became known simply as The Coach with long-time area TV and radio personality Vince Koza on his live radio show. 25 Years Ago 1987 Some 500 people attending a rally Saturday evening in Spencerville were urged to take to heart the Biblical mandate to be stewards of the earth. Dumpbusters, a citizens group opposing the efforts of Ohio Waste Systems Inc. to locate a 485-acre landfill near Spencerville, sponsored the rally. Mother Nature did not cooperate again this year as the weekend was a wet one for the annual Strohs Country Concert in the Hills held at Fort Loramie. Mike Barhorst, owner of the acreage, said It takes over 350 people to handle the biggest country musical festival in the U.S.A., and the charitable groups of the Fort Loramie area have made over $50,000 during the seven years that the event has been held, serving in the concession booths, and various other jobs. Matt Holtsberry, a senior at Allen East High School this fall, shot a two-under-par 69 at the Delphos Country Club to capture the I&K Distributing Classic. The tournament is the sixth leg in the Junior Golf Association Tour and Holtsberrys third victory in five appearances this year and second in one week. He won last Tuesday at Springbrook, shooting a 76. 50 Years Ago 1962 The Womens Society for World Service of the Evangelical United Brethren Church held a picnic meeting Thursday at Camp St. Marys. The meeting was opened with devotions given by Sylvia Wagoner. Helen Jenkins, president of the group, announced that she would like to have an executive meeting to make plans for fall meetings. Two new members, Evelyn Sieren and Marcile Eversole, were welcomed to the society. Delphos Council No. 1362, Knights of Columbus, was host for a district officers meeting Thursday night at the club rooms. Those attending were: John K. Uhrig, Ted Jakim, H. Wilgen, Paul Smith, Jim Ladde of Lima Loyalty Council; Richard Gleason, George Guidera, C. Pohl of Santa Maria Council, Lima and Hubert Youngpeter, Bill Heil, George Bonifas, and Rufus Bonifas of the Delphos Council. Mrs. Keith Poling was hostess to the members of Club 58 Tuesday evening at her parents home, the Chester Shafer home on East Ninth Street. Routine business was taken care of after which card games were played. At the close of the evening the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Paul Teman, served refreshments. The next meeting of the club will be Aug. 14 at the home of Nancy Loetz, West Sixth Street. 75 Years Ago 1937 The first summer picnic of the Delphos Kiwanis Club will be held on Thursday afternoon and evening at the Idlewild Clubhouse on the banks of the Auglaize River, east of Delphos. The arrangements have been practically completed by the committee in charge, H. L. Leilich, Charles Raabe and E. Falke. James Mueller has returned from Washington, D. C., where he was in attendance the past two weeks at the National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America. He served as an assistant scoutmaster and also played a drum in the Fourth Regional band. Mueller was the only member of the Delphos Scout organization in attendance at the jamboree. Rev. H. John Schmit, first assistant at St. Johns, left Tuesday for New York City. Friday he will meet Gerd Sassen, 16, nephew of Dr. John L. Sassen, pastor of St. Johns, who is coming from his home in Germany for a visit with his uncle here. Father Schmit is being accompanied to New York by James Hotz.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

US Olympic uniform made in China

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON (AP) Uniforms for U.S. Olympic athletes are American red, white and blue but made in China. That has members of Congress fuming. Republicans and Democrats railed Thursday about the U.S. Olympic Committees decision to dress the U.S. team in Chinese manufactured berets, blazers and pants while the American textile industry struggles economically with many U.S. workers desperate for jobs. I am so upset. I think the Olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference on taxes. If they have to wear nothing but a singlet that says USA on it, painted by hand, then thats what they should wear, he said, referring to an athletic jersey. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters at her weekly news conference that shes proud of the nations Olympic athletes, but they should be wearing uniforms that are made in America. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said simply of the USOC, Youd think theyd know better. In a statement, the U.S. Olympic Committee defended the choice of designer Ralph Lauren for the clothing at the London Games, which begin later this month. Unlike most Olympic teams around the world, the U.S. Olympic Team is privately funded and were grateful for the support of our sponsors, USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement. Were proud of our partnership with Ralph Lauren, an iconic American company, and excited to watch Americas finest athletes compete at the upcoming Games in London. Ralph Lauren also is dressing the Olympic and Paralympic teams for the closing ceremony and providing casual clothes to be worn around the Olympic Village. Nike has made many of the competition uniforms for the U.S. and outfits for the medal stand. On Twitter, Sandusky called the outrage over the made-in-China uniforms nonsense. The designer, Sandusky wrote, financially supports our team. An American company that supports American athletes. Ralph Laurens company declined to comment on the criticism. In fact, this is not the first time that Ralph Lauren has designed the Olympic uniforms. Yet that did little to quell the anger on Capitol Hill. It is not just a label, its an economic solution, said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y. Today there are 600,000 vacant manufacturing jobs in this country and the Olympic committee is outsourcing the manufacturing of uniforms to China? That is not just outrageous, its just plain dumb. It is selfdefeating. Israel urged the USOC to reverse the decision and ensure U.S. athletes wear uniforms that are made in America.

US records $904.2B deficit through June

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON The U.S. budget deficit grew by nearly $60 billion in June, remaining on track to exceed $1 trillion for the fourth straight year. Through the first nine months of the budget year, the federal deficit totaled $904.2 billion, the Treasury Department reported Thursday. President Barack Obama is almost certain to face reelection having run trilliondollar-plus deficits in each his first four years in office. That would likely benefit his opponent, GOP presumptive nominee Mitt Romney. Obama and congressional Republicans remain at odds over how to lower the deficit. Unless their disagreement is broken, a series of tax increases and spending cuts could kick in next year. Economists warn that could dramatically slow an already weak U.S. economy and even tip it back into a recession. The Congressional Budget Office predicts the deficit for By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press the full year, which ends on Sept. 30, will total $1.17 trillion. That would be a slight improvement from the $1.3 trillion deficit recorded in 2011, but still greater than any deficit before Obama took office. One positive sign this year is the deficit is growing more slowly than last year. In June it was 6.8 percent behind the pace for the same period in budget year 2011. And a key reason for that is that revenues are up 5.2 percent this year, while spending is down by 0.9 percent. But the modest improvement has not cooled the budget debate in Washington. Obama submitted a budget request to Congress in February that sought $4 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade through a combination of spending cuts and tax hikes. A key part of his proposal is to allow tax cuts to expire for couples earning more than $250,000. He has called for extending similar cuts for people earning less than that. Obama would also set a 30 percent tax rate on taxpayers making more than $1 between the campaigns over Romneys tenure at the private equity firm he founded in 1984. Documents filed by the company, Bain Capital, conflict with Romneys statements about when he gave up control of the firm. Both sides accused the other of being dishonest. The documents, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, place Romney in charge of Bain from 1999 to 2001, a period in which it outsourced jobs and ran companies that fell into bankruptcy. Romney and his aides say he left Bain in 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympics, and a Bain statement said Romney remained the sole stockholder for a time while formal ownership was being documented and transferred to the group of partners who took over management of the firm in 1999. Obamas two-day visit to Virginia underscores his stepped-up attention to the shortlist of key states that will determine the outcome of the presidential contest. Virginia, with 13 electoral votes, figures prominently in both the Obama and Romney strategies. But Obama has more options for an Election Day victory without Virginia than does Romney.

status of those who file registration documents. Ken Ortiz, the chief of staff at the New Mexico secretary of states office, said some noncitizens have contacted the state asking why they received the forms when theyd previously been told that they could not vote. We fear that some of these individuals who receive this mailing may feel that they are being encouraged to vote by our office or county government, Ortiz said. The mailings appear official, arriving in privacy envelopes with the headline VOTER REGISTRATION D O C U M E N T S ENCLOSED. Some information is already completed on the voter registration papers, and recipients get an envelope to send completed forms to local elections officials. The Voter Participation Center works with a vendor that has access to multiple commercial databases that could include people who subscribe to magazines or junk mail using names of their pet, said Page Gardner, the groups president. She said the nonprofit tries its best to target only eligible and unregistered voters but some other names inevitably get on the final list. Is it a perfect process? No, Gardner said. Ultimately, she said they rely on the integrity of people and the security of the system and notes that the same forms are available to anyone at county offices or on the Internet.

Obama seeks to keep once-red Virginia on his side

WASHINGTON Against an increasingly bitter campaign backdrop, President Barack Obama is seeking to shore up support for his reelection in Virginia, a state he won four years ago ending decades of domination by Republican presidential candidates. For challenger Mitt Romney, the state now looms as a battleground crucial to his presidential hopes. Obama will travel to the southeast and southwest corners of the state today, courting young and AfricanAmerican voters in the Virginia Beach-Hampton area before turning to more conservative Roanoke, unwilling to cede votes to Romney. On Saturday, he will campaign in Richmond, a once-staunchly Republican region that he won in 2008. Both campaigns acknowledge Virginias new role as a fiercely contested state after years of being virtually overlooked in presidential politics. Obama won the state by a 53-46 margin over his 2008 rival, Sen. John McCain. Obamas visit comes after a day of hostile exchanges

million. Republicans have rejected the tax increases. They want more cuts in government programs. The GOP-controlled House has approved a budget that calls for deep cuts in Medicare and other programs and a new round of tax cuts that would favor wealthy Americans. The House-approved spending plan has no chance of passing in the Senate, where Democrats hold a slim majority. That sets the stage for gridlock until after the November elections when lawmakers will be faced with a number of end-of-the-year deadlines. Romney has proposed broad but largely unspecified spending cuts. He would reduce the federal work force by 10 percent and keep the tax cuts for all incomes, not just families making less than $250,000. Romney also wants to drop all tax rates by 20 percent. He would curtail deductions, credits and exemptions for the wealthiest to pay for the lower rates, but he does not specify what tax breaks would be trimmed. Illustrating its importance, the state has seen the third heaviest television ad spending by the candidates and their allied groups, behind only Ohio and Florida. The state is represented by two moderate Democratic senators. But since Obama won four years ago, Republicans have done well in state offices and a majority of the states congressional seats are held by Republicans. Stephen Farnsworth, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va., said the state could well decide not only the presidential election but control of the Senate: Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican George Allen, both former governors, are in a tight race to succeed Sen. Jim Webb, a Democrat. Obama is helped by the states more moderate and Democratic Washington suburbs, by an unemployment rate that is well below the national average and by a minority population that voted heavily in his favor last time. Nearly 20 percent of the states population is AfricanAmerican, and its Hispanic presence has grown sharply in the past decade, especially in the north.

Acta confident Indians can stay in race

The Associated Press CLEVELAND Manny Acta watched the Cleveland Indians fade from contention in the AL Central race following the All-Star break a year ago. The Indians manager is confident that wont happen again this season. The second-place Indians are 44-41 and trail Chicago by three games in the division. They begin the second half today in Toronto. A year ago Cleveland was 47-42 and also in second place, a half-game back. The Indians regained the top spot briefly but went 33-40 after the break and finished 15 games behind the Detroit Tigers with an 80-82 record. Acta and his players are expecting better results this time around, thanks to a team thats more talented and healthy than last seasons club. Its the same guys with experience, Acta said Thursday before the team held a workout at Progressive Field. The experience will only help them. Its a better club. Were healthy right now and were ready to go. Second baseman Jason Kipnis, Clevelands most consistent offensive player in the first half, thinks the Indians learned some valuable lessons last season. This is a more consistent team from top to bottom, he said. Guys got experience last year. They know what happened. These guys are looking to make that push. Kipnis leads the Indians in RBIs (49) and stolen bases (20) and is tied with All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera for the team lead in home runs (11). The Indians, who open the second half with a 7-game trip to Toronto and Tampa Bay, lead third-place Detroit by a half-game. The White Sox have won 11-of-15 games while the Tigers took a 5-game winning streak into the break. Chicago and Detroit are playing good baseball, Kipnis said. Theyre winning a lot of games. We have to stay afloat with them and hang in there while they make their runs and hopefully well be in a position to make our run. Acquiring a hitter preferably one who bats righthanded and plays the outfield or a starting pitcher would definitely help the playoff push. General manager Chris Antonetti pulled off a major deal at last seasons deadline when he acquired righthander Ubaldo Jimenez from Colorado for Drew Pomeranz and Alex White, the top two pitching prospects in Clevelands organization. The Indians have been outscored 414-385 in 85 games. Clevelands 4.50 ERA is 13th in the AL. We want to be more con-

VAN WERT Three of the four teams in the semifinals of the Tri-County Little League tournament Thursday night under the lights of Don Bachman Field at Smiley Park were from Delphos: the Delpha Chevy Reds, the Delphos Pirates and the VFW Cardinals. Only the Greif Rangers spoiled the party. The Pirates upset the Cardinals 5-3 in the nightcap, while Brenan Auer tossed a complete game in leading the front-running Reds to a 10-4 defeat of the Rangers. The Cardinals (13-5) tried to draw first blood in the nightcap. With one down, Connor Hulihan was safe on a throwing error but was forced out at second by a Troy Elwer grounder. Elwer was left stranded. The Pirates (10-8) went up 1-0 in the home half against southpaw starter Devin Cairo. With two gone, Troy Schwinnen beat out an infield hit to short, took second on a passed ball and scored as Cole Reindel went opposite-way with a tough-hop triple to the right-field corner. Tyler Shrider walked and burgled second but Cairo worked out of the inning with no more damage. The Cardinals went up 3-1 in the second against Pirates starter Jarrod Wurst. Back-toback miscues allowed Darnell Simpson and Austin Adams to be on board when Taylor Kunkleman launched a long drive over leftfielder Shriders head and circled the bases for a 3-run homer and a 3-1 lead. Two outs later, Logan Herron was hit by a pitch and Caleb Lucas walked but the visiting team couldnt add any more runs. The Pirates took advantage of some Cairo wildness to scored three times in the home half. Matthew Miller walked and advanced on a wild pitch. Davion Tyson walked and both moved up on a pitch in the dirt. Luke Reindel walked to load the bases; two wild pitches scored Miller and Tyson and put Reindel at third. An out hence, Connor Anspach singled to right to plate Reindel to give the Pirates the lead for good. Lucas Metcalfe

forced Anspach at second and Schwinnen beat out another infield hit. However, both runners remained on base. The Pirates scored their final run in the third. With two down, Miller waked, stole second and scored on Tysons liner to center for a 5-3 spread. The VFW tried to get more runs in the fourth against reliever Miller. With two outs, Adam Gerker blooped a hit into short center and a wild pitch put him at second. However, he could go no farther. Anspach drew a 1-out walk in the Pirates fourth and was on second via a wild pitch. He never left. With two down in the Cardinals fifth, Hulihan singled to center but was cut down on an Elwer grounder to end the threat. Cole Reindel commenced the Pirates fifth with an infield hit but was cut down on a Shrider grounder. Wurst walked but both runners were left on base. The VFW went 1-2-3 in the top of the sixth to end the contest. In the opener, Auer threw 121 pitches in his effort (71 strike in his six innings, yielding five hits, four walks and four runs (3 earned), all while fanning 10. The visiting Reds (17-1) drew first blood in the top of the first inning against Greif starter Holdin Willingham. Collin Will walked to lead it off and advanced on a passed ball. Auer (3-for-4, 3 runs, 3 RBIs) beat out an infield hit to short; an error on the play allowed Will to score and moved Auer to third. A strikeout later, Auer stole home for a 2-0 lead. The Rangers (10-8) also got a leadoff walk in their half to Lawson Blackmore but Auer struck out the side. Delpha got a leadoff single in the gut by Brady Grothaus in the second and then a wild pitch. Two outs later, Braden Hammon grounded a hit into right to put runners on the corners. He stole second but both runners were stranded. In the visitor third against reliever Darius Eddins, the Reds made it 4-0. Auer bunted his way aboard. Three wild pitches brought him around to score. Damien Jones walked and moved up on a passed

ball. Darius Shurelds popped up to second baseman Gage Chiles; Jones strayed too far off second and was eventually tagged out in a rundown for a double play. However, Drew Foust grounded a ball to center; once it hit the dry-andhard-as-a-bone outfield grass, it took a wicked hop over centerfielder Blackmore and kept rolling as Foust touched them all (the fence is at Pony League depth) for an inside-the-park home run. The Rangers got three back in the home half. Chiles (2-for2) got an infield hit to third and Shurelds singled to left; an error on the sequence allowed Chiles to cross the plate and put the batter at third. An out later, he scored on a grounder by Ryan Hollinsworth; that batter was safe on a misplay. A wild pitch moved him up and he scored as Willingham chopped a hit into right for a 4-3 deficit. Delpha made it 9-3 in the fourth. With one gone, pinch-hitter Curtis Schwinnen walked, as did Hammon. An out later, both advanced on a wild toss and both scored as Auer rocked one over the head of leftfielder Tristen Wehner and easily touched them all for a 3-run dinger. Jones singled up the middle and moved up on a pitch in the dirt. Shurelds walked and both runners scored as Foust (2-for-3, 3 RBIs) lofted a hit into left that took another wicked hop for a 2-run double; he was gunned down at third on a relay from Wehner to Hollinsworth to Willingham (now at third). Chiles walked with two down in the Ranger fourth. The visitors tried to add to their margin in the fifth against third Ranger hurler Brad Fuerst. Dominic Estrada walked with one down and an out later, Hammon also walked. However, he was forced at second by a Will grounder. The home team tallied their final run of the game (and the season) in the bottom half. With one out, Hollinsworth walked but was eliminated by a Willingham grounder; in turn, he scored as Storm Pierce launched a bad-hop triple to left. Fuerst walked and swiped second but both runners were left on base. The Reds tacked on their

final run in the sixth against fourth pitcher Lawson. With two gone, Shurelds launched a tough-hop triple to right and, after Foust walked, scored on a wild pitch for a 10-4 edge. In the final chance for the Rangers in the sixth, Chiles beat out an infield hit off the glove of Auer but was cut down on a Shurelds bouncer. Lawson grounded out to end the game. The Reds will battle the Pirates 6 p.m. tonight at Fort Jennings Village Park for all the marbles.

sistent with our hitting and I want our pitching to improve, Acta said. You cant sit here and say being next to last in pitching is going to get it done. Kipnis, Cabrera and outfielders Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley have carried the team offensively. A strong second half is needed from catcher Carlos Santana, who is hitting .221. An upgrade in left field, where most of the playing time has gone to Johnny Damon and Shelley Duncan, is one of the prime targets in trade talks. A right-handed bat is at the top of Antonettis list when it comes to acquiring offensive help. The Indians are 9-16 against left-handed starters and 35-25 versus righthanders. Jimenez and Justin Masterson are the top two starters. Derek Lowe and Josh Tomlin have been inconsistent while rookie Zach McAllister is the fifth starter for now. All-Star closer Chris Perez is third in the AL with 24 saves. He blew a save on opening day before converting 24 consecutive opportunities. That streak ended in the final game before the break Sunday against Tampa Bay.

The Associated Press OLYMPICS LAS VEGAS The Los Angeles Clippers say Blake Griffin has torn cartilage in his left knee and will miss the Olympics. Griffin returned to Los Angeles on Thursday for further evaluation after reporting discomfort in the same knee that bothered him in the playoffs following Wednesdays practice. The Clippers said he will require arthroscopic surgery and should be ready for training camp. USA Basketball officials said they hadnt been told Griffin would be forced to pull out. Once he does, the Americans will be able to replace him on their 12-man roster, likely with Anthony Davis. Davis, the national college player of the year, was added to the roster for the exhibition game against the Dominican Republic on Thursday and scored nine points in 10 minutes in the Americans 113-59 victory. GOLF LAKE ORION, Mich. Tom Kite set a U.S. Senior Open record with a 28 on the front nine at Indianwood and finished a 5-under 65 on Thursday.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Corey Pavins sixth birdie on his 17th hole pulled him into a tie atop the leaderboard but a penalty pushed him back to the pack after completing his first round. Pavin hit a chip after his ball moved back a fraction of an inch when he grounded his club on his 14th hole and that later cost him two strokes. That setback put Bernhard Langer and Lance Ten Broeck in second place, one shot behind Kite. It pushed Pavin into a 5-way tie for fourth with Fred Funk, Jeff Sluman, Tom Pernice Jr. and Mikael Hogberg at 3-under 67. SILVIS, Ill. Troy Matteson scored 10 birdies Thursday en route to a bogey-free round of 10-under 61 for a 3-stroke stroke lead after one round of the John Deere Classic. Matteson birdied five holes on each nine of the TPC Deere Run to surpass the 7-under 64 of second place Ricky Barnes. Robert Garrigus and Steve Stricker, chasing a fourth straight victory in the Deere, were among a group tied for third at 6-under 65. Zach Johnson, the highest ranked player in the tournament at sixth, shot 3-under 68.

COLDWATER - After dropping the No. 2 seed for the Van Wert ACME sectional, Jefferson, from district tournament play Wednesday, the Celina Bulldogs did the same to No. 1 seed Crestview Thursday evening - avenging a defeat suffered at the hands of the Knights in the first round. The Bulldogs used a 7-run second inning to take the lead, protected it with a 4-run sixth and held on for a 12-5 win at Veterans Field in Coldwater. The game was sloppy on both sides, with 17 walks and six pitching changes combined. Riley Luebke and Brandon McGilvary walked with one out in the Bulldog second. Luebke scored on a wild pitch before Skylar McCarter (3 runs scored) singled. Sean Stachler walked to load the bases and chased Crestview starter Bryce Richardson for Cam Etzler; he hit third baseman Caleb Kuhn to bring in McGilvary. Cody Vogel (3 RBIs) ripped a 2-run double and first baseman Eric Fickert picked up an RBI single. Pitcher Kyle Berry helped his cause with a 2-run single to increase the Celina lead to 7-0. Jordan Roop entered in relief and retired a pair of Bulldogs to end the rally. After leaving five runners stranded through the first three innings, the Knights got on the board in the top of the fourth. Third baseman Nick

Thomas singled and second baseman Alex Brown walked. Etzler reached on a Celina error, which scored Thomas. Brown crossed the plate when Alec Heffner drew a basesloaded walk. The run made the score 7-2 but the Knights left the bases loaded. Celina added a run in the bottom of the fifth when McCarter reached on an error and scored on a Vogel sacrifice fly for an 8-2 score. Crestview drew closer in the sixth, plating three. Etzler doubled, Roop singled and Richardson drew a walk to load the bases. Leftfielder Damian Helm (2 RBIs) ripped a 2-run single to plate Etzler and Roop. Richardson later scored when first baseman Jake Harmon grounded out, pulling Crestview within 8-5. Celina added four insurance runs in the sixth. Luebke reached on a fielders choice and scored when McGilvary doubled. McCarter and Stachler recorded consecutive RBI triples. Finally, Kuhn brought Stachler home with a sacrifice fly to make the score 12-5. The Knights went down in order in the top of the seventh. Richardson took the loss for the Knights: 1 1/3 innings, four earned runs, one hit. Berry picked up the win for the Bulldogs: five innings, four earned runs, two strikeouts, six walks and one hit batter.

The thundering voice that leads the Southern Baptists

By Terry Mattingly
diverse and urban society. For starters, Southern Baptists in pulpits and pews must face their own sins, so they can truly identify with the lost. After all, everyone is an ex-SOMETHING, he said. Sin is sin and forgiveness is forgiveness. The Gospel can save a gang-banger. The Gospel can save a crack addict. The Gospel can save a child abuser. The Gospel can save a street runner. The Gospel can change a rebellious teenager. The Gospel can change an unfaithful spouse, he shouted. The Gospel can change you and the Gospel can change me. How do I know it? Because, ladies and gentlemen, I havent always been preaching in a pulpit, he said. I havent always been preaching at the pastors conference. At one time I was too mean to live and not fit to die, going to hell and enjoying the ride. But one day I heard the Gospel and the Gospel changed my life. The young Luters life in New Orleans was shaped by a broken home and his rebellion ended with a bloody motorcycle wreck. This dance with death inspired his move into part-time street preaching in the Lower Ninth Ward and eventually into the ministry. Under his leadership, the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church grew from 50 members in 1986 to 7,000 two decades later. Then Hurricane Katrina demolished the church and its community. Luter stayed to rebuild, with the remnants of his flock sharing space for a time with the predominantly white First Baptist Church of New Orleans. That partnership grew and it was First Baptists pastor, the Rev. David Crosby, who nominated Luter for the SBC presidency, which traditionally consists of two one-year terms. Today, Franklin Avenue Baptist has about 5,000 members and is rebuilding again, because of its rapid growth. Meanwhile, 36 of the 110 churches in the New Orleans Baptist Association are majority African American. Nationwide, the SBCs membership totals are down 2 percent in recent years -- a slide that would have been much worse without rising numbers in predominantly black, Latino and Asian congregations. Today, whites make up 81 percent of the national conventions nearly 16 million members, with African Americans at 6.5 percent and other ethnicities combining for 12.5 percent. Looking at the bigger picture, Luter stressed that all Americans -- regardless of

The Herald 7

A New Orleans preacher, preaching to a New Orleans crowd, can expect a few Amens! if he quotes lyrics from Billie Holidays bluesy God Bless the Child while talking about Gods love for sinners who get saved. But what if hes preaching at the pastors conference before the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention? All the people said, Amen! What really mattered was that the preacher was the Rev. Fred Luter and his turbo-charged call for salvation and social change was one of the dramatic scenes that preceded his election, by acclamation, as the first African-American president of Americas largest non-Catholic flock. But there was more to this event than its symbolism, coming 167 years after the convention was formed to defend the rights of slaveholders to be missionaries. Also, his election came on Juneteenth -- June 19 -when many African Americans celebrate the emancipation of the slaves. In his only sermon during the gathering in New Orleans, Luter challenged Southern Baptists to face the blunt realities of life in a

race -- are wrestling with a blitz of social changes that are shattering many families and communities. Thus, his sermon addressed a litany of hot issues, from sitcoms to politics, from racism to gang violence, from adultery to pornography, from homosexuality to abortion. Oh my brothers and my sisters, asked Luter, what is it going to take to change our lives? What is it going to take to change our morals? What is it going to take to change our culture, our community and our world? ... Only the Word of God -- not the Republican Party. Only the Word of God -- not the Democratic Party. Only the Word of God -not the U.S. Congress. Only the Word of God -- not the U.S. Senate. ... Only the Word of God can change the mind of a murderer. Only the Word of God can change the heart of a racist. Only the Word of God can change the desire of a child molester. Only the Word of God can change a gang member. Yes it can! Yes it can!

That is, do not leave raw meat or poultry in the temperature danger zone for more than two hours. If you do, they may produce illness-causing toxins that cant be destroyed by cooking. You should also be aware that some traditional holiday dishes and drinks provide perfect opportunities for bacterial contamination and growth. If you plan to serve a turkey, use special care.

How can I prepare a good meal that is also safe for my guests? A: One of the best parts about a holiday party is the food. Unfortunately, as you experienced, people can develop foodborne illness (food poisoning or infections) if the food is not prepared carefully. The good news is you can greatly reduce the chance that your guests will become ill by taking a few precautions. There are three basic rules you can follow to ensure your food is safe to eat: -First, avoid crosscontamination, which is the transfer of bacteria from one

For a faster thawing time, the turkey can be submerged in cold water, as long as you change the water every 30 minutes. A fresh turkey must reach your refrigerator within two hours of leaving the merchants cooler. Cook it until the temperature is 165 degrees F in the innermost breast, thighs and wings, and serve it within two hours. For storage, all the meat should be removed from the bone, divided into smaller pieces, placed in shallow containers and refrigerated or frozen. Leftover meat should be reheated to 165 degrees F before serving. The way you prepare stuffing is also important. Stuffing the turkey before you roast it raises the risk of contamination. The stuffing can absorb bacteria from internal drippings as the bird cooks, and the stuffing may not get hot enough to eliminate the bacteria before the turkey is done.

Penn State report tarnishes Paterno legacy

By MARC LEVY and MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. A blistering report that claims Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials concealed what they knew about Jerry Sanduskys sexual abuse of children may prove to be an indelible stain on the beloved coachs 61-year tenure at the school where he preached success with honor. Paternos supporters are legion, though, and some insist the late coach got a raw deal from former FBI Director Louis Freeh, whose 267-page report on the Sandusky scandal Thursday asserted that Paterno and senior Penn State officials made a decision to protect Sandusky to avoid damaging the image of the school and its powerful football program. Penn States internal investigation into one of the worst scandals in sports history is unlikely to settle the debate about Paternos culpability even as it showed him to be more deeply involved in the universitys response to 1998 and 2001 abuse complaints about Sandusky than previously thought. Damaging emails unearthed by Freeh and his team of lawyers and ex-law enforcement officials show the extent to which Paterno, Penn State President Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz fretted over what to do about Sandusky. Ultimately, they did nothing and their inaction allowed the retired defensive coordinator to continue molesting boys, the report found. Freeh also faulted university trustees for failing to exercise proper oversight and said a culture that showed excessive reverence for the football program helped protect a pedophile. Sandusky, 68, was convicted last month of abusing 10 boys over 15 years and will likely die in prison. Freehs report could impact the ongoing criminal case against Curley and Schultz, who are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report child abuse. It will certainly factor into any future discussion about Paterno and a Hall of Fame career that includes two national championships, 409 wins, and the coachs self-proclaimed grand experiment that tried to blend academics, athletics and right living. Karen Peetz, chairwoman of the board of trustees, said the panel believes Paternos 61 years of excellent service to the university is now marred by the scandal. Phil Knight, the Nike founder who won thunderous applause with his passionate defense of the coach at his January memorial service, acknowledged Thursday that it appears Joe made missteps that led to heartbreaking consequences. I missed that Joe missed it, and I am extremely saddened on this day. Yet hours after the release of Freehs report, people were still eating scoops of Peachy Paterno ice cream at Berkey Creamery on campus, Joe Paterno shirts still hung in stores across the street from the administration building, and many of those closest to Penn State and Paterno said their faith in the coach remained unshakeable. I dont care what anyone says, it doesnt change the fact that hes a great man, said Briana Marshall, a junior from East Stroudsburg. Some students and alumni felt that Freeh turned Paterno into a scapegoat, and that there was little direct evidence that he took part in a cover-up. Paterno died before he could meet with investigators. Its easy to vilify or blame someone whos not alive to defend himself, said Tim Sweeney, president of Penn States official Football Lettermans Club. Freeh, who was hired by the schools board of trustees to investigate the scandal, expressed regret for any damage to Paternos terrific legacy. But he stood by his work. What my report says is what the evidence and the facts show, he said. What they showed, the report said, was that Paterno, Spanier, Curley and Schultz failed to protect against a child sexual predator, burying the allegations against Sandusky out of a desire to avoid the consequences of bad publicity. Freeh said officials had opportunities in 1998 and 2001 to step in. In 1998, campus police investigated after a woman complained that her son had showered with Sandusky. The investigation did not

SF considering ways to curb plastic water bottles Witness to border shooting

FENIT NIRAPPIL Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco, the city that regulated Happy Meal toys and banned plastic grocery bags, has a new target in its health-conscious, eco-friendly crosshairs: plastic water bottles. City officials are considering an ordinance that would require owners of new and renovated buildings with water fountains to install special bottle-filling taps. The laws designed to encourage thirsty people to refill containers instead of reaching for another bottle of Evian or Aquafina. This is the appropriate next step to make it easier for San Franciscans to get out of the bad habit of using environmentally wasteful plastic water bottles and into the good habit of using reusable water containers, said Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, who introduced the legislation in June. Environmental groups are supportive of efforts to wean San Franciscans from plastic water bottles. San Francisco has among the best drinking water in the country. Its ridiculous that people would go out and spend their now very limited dollars to buy bottled water, said Mae Wu, an attorney with the National Resources Defense Council. Bottle-filling taps like the ones that would be required if Chius measure passes already are found at San Francisco International Airport and at some city parks and schools. Installed behind a drinking fountains regular faucet, they dispense chilled water in a quick-streaming vertical jet that is high enough to accommodate most water containers. Advocates say having bottle-specific spigots encourages the reuse of water bottles by eliminating long waits to fill them and removing concerns about germs. Some people squirm at the thought of drinking from a fountain exposed to so many mouths, although city officials say water fountains are no less hygienic than bottle taps. Adding a bottled-water spigot to existing water fountains would cost at least around $750, according to manufacturers. For officials at Pennsylvania State University, the cost has been worthwhile. The university is now installing taps on all its campuses after experimenting with them for three years, said Lydia Vandenbergh, an official overseeing the universitys effort to reduce use of plastic water bottles. Students were more receptive to filling bottles from special taps than drinking fountains, thought to be dirty. In the era of hyper hygiene, for a lot of people, thats a barrier, Vandenbergh said. University officials have estimated the busiest tap replaces the equivalent of 35,000 plastic bottles a month. Chius ordinance calls plastic water bottles bad for the environment, unnecessarily taking up landfill space and causing greenhouse gas emissions when cheap tap water is available. San Francisco city departments have been barred from buying plastic water bottles since 2007. Chiu said he considered other aggressive measures to curb the bottle, including a fee and an outright ban. The proposed ordinance is less severe and is meant to raise awareness about drinking tap water as an alternative, he said. Skeptics question whether the ordinance is necessary, since the proposed taps pour the same highly-regarded public water that comes out of every other faucet and drinking fountain. Businesses often complain that San Francisco lawmakers are too quick to impose bans or restrictions that affect their bottom lines. Despite initial skepticism, the association is waiting for more details before taking a stance on the law

result in charges. But the emails show Paterno clearly followed the case, Freeh said, and university officials took no action at the time to limit Sanduskys access to campus a decision that would pave the way for Sandusky to victimize more youths. Three years later, a coaching assistant told Paterno that he had seen Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the locker room showers. Freeh, citing emails and handwritten notes, concluded that Paterno intervened to stop a plan by Curley, Schultz and Spanier to report the 2001 allegation by graduate assistant Mike McQueary to child-welfare authorities. According to the report, the administrators intended to inform the state Department of Public Welfare. But Curley later said in an email that he changed his mind about the plan after giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe. Instead, Curley proposed to offer Sandusky professional help. In an email, Spanier agreed that course of action would be humane but noted the only downside for us is if the message isnt (heard) and acted upon and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it. Paterno was an integral part of this active decision to conceal and his firing was justified, Freeh said at a news conference in Philadelphia, calling the officials disregard for child victims callous and shocking. In a statement, Paternos family strongly denied he protected Sandusky for fear of bad publicity.

Alleged would-be suicide bomber to plead guilty

JPMorgan says loss grew to $4.4B

By PALLAVI GOGOI AP Business Writer NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, said today that its loss from a highly publicized trading blunder had grown to $4.4 billion, more than double the banks original estimate of $2 billion. The bank also said that it was reducing its net income for the first quarter by $459 million because it had discovered information that raises questions about the integrity of values placed on certain trades. CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank had closed the division of the bank responsible for the bad trade and moved the remainder of the trading position under its investment banking division. Overall, JPMorgan said it earned $5 billion, or $1.21 per share, for the second quarter, which covers April through June and includes the banks disclosure of the trading loss on May 10. By GENE JOHNSON Associated Press Analysts surveyed by FactSet, a provider of financial data, had expected JPMorgan to earn 76 cents per share. JPMorgan stock was down 49 cents, or 1.4 percent, at $33.55 in premarket trading. Just three months ago, JPMorgan was viewed as the top American bank, guided by Dimons steady hand. Since the disclosure of the trading loss, however, that reputation has been eroded. Dimon, who originally dismissed concerns about the banks trading as a tempest in a teapot, appeared before Congress twice to apologize and explain himself, and several government agencies have launched investigations. Dimon was to speak before Wall Street analysts later today. JPMorgan has lost about 15 percent of its in market value since the loss came to light. The bank could take back pay from executives in charge of the division where the losses occurred. That procedure is

CHICAGO A 29-year-old Chicago man accused of plotting a suicide bombing overseas and claiming he was inspired by a radical Muslim cleric has agreed to change his plea to guilty, bringing to an end one of the last terrorism trials pending in the citys federal court. A lawyer for Shaker Masri whose plea deal was announced Thursday at a status hearing told reporters that the agreement hammered out with the U.S. Attorneys Office was favorable to his client, though he declined to elaborate. Suffice to say, there comes a time when the government makes offers that are difficult to refuse in the light of the potential consequences, Thomas A. Durkin said. Masri, who was born in Alabama and lived abroad before returning to the U.S. at age 18, was arrested in 2010 after the FBI exposed his alleged plot to attend a Somalia training camp to become a suicide bomber for terrorist groups al-Qaida and al-Shabab. Attorneys left open the possibility that the plea deal could still unravel, but Durkin told U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman he was confident enough to have the Sept. 12 trial date cancelled. Coleman set July 20 as the day for Masri to change his plea. None of the government attorneys spoke to reporters after the hearing. Masri was charged with attempting to provide material support to a violent extremist group and trying to offer material support by use of a weapon of mass destruction outside the U.S. Those charges could carry a sentence of several decades in prison. Masri allegedly told an informant he admired Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric who is believed to have inspired the Fort Hood, Texas, shootings and the failed Christmas Day bombing of a jetliner approaching Detroit. A U.S. drone attack killed al-Awlaki last year.

Fugitive in Wash. bunker recorded video of plans

BURIEN, Wash. Before he killed his wife and teen daughter and retreated to a remote bunker in Washingtons Cascade Mountains, Peter Keller recorded a video explaining his mindset: He was bored. Its getting to the point where just trying to live and pay bills and live as a civilian and go to work, that just freaks me out, the 41-yearold survivalist said in a video clip released Thursday by the King County Sheriffs Office. Its actually more comfortable for me to think about living out here, robbing banks and pharmacies, just taking what I want for as long as I can. At least itll be exciting. Keller shot his wife, Lynnettee, and his 18-yearold daughter, Kaylene, at their home in North Bend, east of Seattle, in April. He set canisters of gasoline on the kitchen stove, turned it on, and headed to a fortified, camouflaged bunker he had spent the past eight years building into the steep, thickly forested slope of Rattlesnake Ridge. King County sheriffs detectives spent days trying to figure out where he was. They narrowed down his hiding spot with tips from the public, who had seen Kellers red pickup at the Rattlesnake Ridge trailhead; a photo taken from the bunker that showed outlet stores in the distance; and the work of trackers who saw his boot-prints in the muddy ground. Keller killed himself as dozens of SWAT officers moved in an outcome he predicted in his video. Looking down into a handheld camera, with his head wreathed by evergreen trees and the blue sky, Keller stated flatly: If I get caught, Im just going to shoot myself. I could be dead in two weeks or three weeks, I dont know. Its all up to chance at this point. He added: I do have my escape and its death. Shoot myself. Im OK with that. ... I wont have to worry about Lynnettee or Kaylene. Everythingll be taken care of. Itll just be me.

known as a clawback. It would be the first time JPMorgan exercised such a procedure. The most likely candidate would be Ina Drew, JPMorgans chief investment officer, who oversaw the division responsible for the loss and left the bank days after the disclosure. In 2011, her pay package totaled $15 million. The Wall Street Journal reported today that three other employees of the bank tied to the trade, including one who was known as the London whale, had left the bank. Under close questioning from lawmakers in June about his own role in setting up the investment division responsible for the mess, Dimon declared: We made a mistake. Im absolutely responsible. The buck stops with me. The trading loss has raised concerns that the biggest banks still pose risks to the U.S. financial system, less than four years after the financial crisis erupted in the fall of 2008. The sheriffs office said it was releasing the video now because recent forensic tests recently proved that one of Kellers guns was used in the murders. There were no other suspects. In a news conference, Sheriff Steve Strachan also announced that tens of thousands of dollars was found bundled in the bunker, though he declined to specify how much. Lynnettees family announced that they would use the money to establish a scholarship fund in Kaylenes memory (kaylenesfund.com) for women who attend DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, where Kaylene had hoped to study video game design. The family didnt really find there was a problem with Peter, said Lynnettees twin brother, Gene Rocha. He described Kellers relationship with his daughter as loving. Wed go there for holidays and it was like every father-and-daughter relationship, he said. Shed look at her father and say, Daddy, can I have this? And hed say, Sure.

SAN DIEGO A man who saw an illegal immigrant from Mexico get shot with a stun gun by U.S. border authorities said he testified Thursday to a federal grand jury amid signs that prosecutors are considering criminal charges in the immigrants death after more than two years of silence on the politically charged case. Humberto Navarrete told The Associated Press that he testified for about 90 minutes at a San Diego courthouse and told the grand jury he thought the border officials actions were excessive. The grand jury questioned Navarrete about what he saw and viewed a grainy video that he took on his cellphone. Navarretes video, which he released immediately after the May 2010 incident at San Diegos San Ysidro port of entry, captured audio of a man believed to be Anastasio Hernandez pleading for help and passers-by asking border authorities to leave him alone. He was lying face-down on the ground, surrounded by agents, Navarrete, a 26-year-old San Diego resident, said he told the grand jury. The U.S. Justice Departments civil rights division has been presenting evidence to the grand jury on Hernandezs death, family attorney Eugene Iredale told the AP. A person other than Iredale who is close to the Hernandez family said a man who was with Navarrete that night also was expected to testify Thursday. The person, who spoke directly with the witness, requested anonymity because grand jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. Mitchell Rivard, a Justice Department spokesman, said the case remains under investigation and declined further comment. Agents shot Hernandez, 42, with a stun gun at the busy border crossing while returning him to Tijuana, Mexico. Mexican President Felipe Calderon joined a chorus of critics who complained of excessive force by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, none of whom have been publicly identified. An autopsy by the San Diego County coroners office found Hernandez died of a heart attack, with a heart condition and methamphetamine use listed as contributing factors. The autopsy said Hernandez was unresponsive shortly after he was shot with a stun gun, apparently three or four times. The coroners report, citing a San Diego police detective, said Hernandez was agitated and confrontational after he was detained by Border Patrol agents crossing the border illegally and became suddenly violent when his handcuffs were removed at the border crossing. It is unclear if the evidence being presented to the grand jury will lead to criminal charges or who is the target of the investigation. Still, the convening of a grand jury suggests the government is interested in bringing charges. When a prosecutor looks at a case, you can decide no crime has been committed, you close the case and move on. That obviously hasnt happened in this case, said Peter Nunez, a former U.S. attorney in San Diego who is not involved in the case. The fact that theres a grand jury means it has progressed to the next level, if you will. Nunez cautioned that prosecutors may have determined there wasnt enough evidence to justify charges but sought political cover with a grand jury. This case has so much publicity attached to it, he said. You can see a prosecutor saying, Theres not enough evidence to justify criminal charges ... Im going to present the case to the grand jury, with the idea that the grand jury may decide not to indict. The prosecutors are shielded from criticism to some degree. Hernandezs widow welcomed news of the grand jury investigation. It has been more than two years of waiting. I believe this is a step toward justice, Maria Pugo, 41, said at a news conference Thursday with migrant activists who also applauded the move and said they hoped for an indictment.
