SEATTLE (AP) A

healthy diet is expensive and

could make it difficult for
Americans to meet new U.S.
nutritional guidelines, accord-
ing to a study published today
that says the government
should do more to help con-
sumers eat healthier.
An update of what used
to be known as a food pyra-
mid in 2010 had called on
Americans to eat more foods
containing potassium, dietary
fiber, vitamin D and calcium.
But if they did that, the study
authors said, they would add
hundreds more dollars to their
annual grocery bill.

Economy struggles to find footing
By PAUL WISEMAN
and DAVID K. RANDALL
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Shoppers wont shop.
Companies wont hire. The
government wont spend on
economic stimulus its cut-
ting instead. And the Federal
Reserve is reluctant to do
anything more.
Without much to invig-
orate growth, the economy
may be in danger of slipping
into a stupor like the one
Japan has failed to shake off
for more than a decade. And
Wall Street is spooked.
The Dow Jones industrial
average Wednesday barely
broke an eight-day losing
streak, finishing up about
30 points. A nine-day losing
streak would have been the
Dows first since February
1978.
Even with the gain, the
Dow has fallen 828 points, or
6.5 percent, over the past nine
trading days. Investors didnt
even pause to celebrate the
resolution over the weekend
of a dangerous debt standoff
in Washington.
Stunned by news last
week that the economy barely
grew in the first half of 2011,
economists are lowering their
forecasts for the full year and
recalculating the odds that the
economy will slide back into
recession.
Kurt Karl, chief U.S. econ-
omist at Swiss Re, has cut his
2011 forecast for growth this
year to 1.8 percent from 2.6
percent. And he has bumped
up the likelihood of another
recession to 20 percent from
15 percent.
The last week has made
it much more likely that cor-
porate profit estimates will
be revised lower, said Nick
Kalivas, a vice president
of financial research at MF
Global.
The stocks that have fallen
the furthest have been those
of companies that fare best
in economic expansions.
Industrial companies like
Caterpillar and Boeing, energy
companies like Exxon Mobil
and Chevron, and retailers
like Amazon and Coach have
all fallen by more than the
broader stock market.
Investors have pushed
government bond yields
to their lowest level of the
year. The 10-year Treasury
note now yields 2.6 percent.
Bond yields typically fall
when the economy is weak
because nervous investors
view bonds as a safe place to
park their money, and theres
less chance that inflation will
erode their value.
The economy started
sputtering early in the year.
Economists at first thought
the slowdown would be tem-
porary, the result of a short-
term rise in gasoline prices
and an earthquake in Japan
that disrupted shipments of
auto parts and electronics.
But the weakness persist-
ed. And it worsened as a
political fight over debt and
deficits raised the risk that the
U.S. government would not
be able to pay all its bills.
It now seems fairly
clear that those shocks have
done a lot more damage
than we expected, says Leo
Abruzzese, global forecasting
director for the Economist
Intelligence Unit. They
seem to have had a devastat-
ing effect on confidence.
After the government
reported that the economy
grew at an annual pace of
0.4 percent in the first quar-
ter and 1.3 percent in the
second, Abruzzese is cutting
his estimate for 2011 growth
from 2.4 percent to less than
2 percent.
Its hard to see anything
lifting growth to the 2.5 per-
cent needed to keep unem-
ployment from rising, let
alone the 5 percent needed
to bring the rate down sig-
nificantly from Junes 9.2
percent.
Sales are what keeps the
market moving higher, and
theres not much demand
when theres only 0.4 per-
cent growth, said Andrew

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)
Comedian Jerry Lewis is no
longer serving as the Muscular
Dystrophy Associations
national chairman and wont
be appearing on this years
Labor Day telethon, the non-
profit agency announced
Wednesday night.
Lewis, 85, has been
the MDAs national chair-
man since the early 1950s
and has hosted the Labor
Day Muscular Dystrophy
Association telethon since
1966.
He announced in May that
he was retiring as host of the
telethon that has become syn-
onymous with his name. But
Lewis added that he planned
to make his final appearance
on this years Sept. 4, show
and planned on continuing
to serve as MDAs national
chairman.
MDA Chairman of the
Board R. Rodney Howell
said in a statement that Lewis
will not be appearing on the
telethon and we will not
be replacing him as MDA
national chairman.
Howell added that Lewis
is a world-class humanitar-
ian and were forever grateful
to him for his more than half
century of generous service
to MDA.
The statement did not pro-
vide any further explanation
for the moves, and calls to
the Tucson, Ariz,-based non-
profit werent immediately
returned Wednesday night.
Representatives for Lewis, a
publicist and a manager, also
did not immediately respond
to messages left for com-
ment.
Lewis, a Las Vegas resi-
dent, has in recent years bat-
tled a debilitating back condi-
tion, heart issues and the crip-
pling lung disease pulmonary
fibrosis.
MDA officials said more
than $1 billion has been raised
during Muscular Dystrophy
Association telethons over
the years and a national net-
work of some 200 hospital-
affiliated clinics has opened
since Lewis became involved
in the telethon.
Lewis first live Labor Day
weekend telethon in 1966 was
broadcast by a single New
York City television station.
It raised more than $1 million
in pledges.
The telethon moved from
New York to Las Vegas in
1973 and had stints in Los
Angeles before returning in
2006 to Las Vegas.
Last years Jerry Lewis
MDA Telethon aired from
the South Coast hotel-casino
on the Las Vegas Strip and
was broadcast by more than
170 stations. It raised almost
$59 million to fund research
to find a cure for muscular
dystrophy and ALS, or Lou
Gehrigs disease.
The live telethon usually
lasts 21 1/2 hours. Sometimes
Lewis would sing or tell light-
hearted jokes. He introduced
guests and other performers
like a ringmaster. Sometimes,
he turned serious and shared
stories of people afflicted
by the disease or who were
helped by the association.

PORT- AU- PRI NCE,
Haiti Thousands of
earthquake homeless and
other poor Haitians waited
nervously in flimsy shanties
and tents as Tropical Storm
Emily swirled offshore early
today, threatening to bring
dangerous rains.
Strong winds whipped
through palm trees and
some rain was already fall-
ing on southern Haiti.
Forecasters predicted the
storm would make landfall
on Haitis southern penin-
sula after dawn and dump
torrential rains across a
country where more than
600,000 people still live
without shelter after last
years earthquake.
If any storm comes,
we meet our demise, said
Renel Joseph, a 57-year-
old resident of Cite Soleil,
a seaside shantytown of
Haitis capital.
David Preux, head of
mission for the International
Organization for Migration
in the southern city of
Jacmel, said that he expect-
ed conditions to worsen dur-
ing the night.
The problem is when
people wait until the last
minute to evacuate, Preux
said.
The storms forward
motion slowed Wednesday
night and it appeared likely
to skirt the southern tip of
the Dominican Republic,
which shares the island
of Hispaniola with Haiti.
Emily had maximum sus-
tained winds of 50 mph (85
kph).
Dominican authorities
kept a tropical storm warn-
ing in effect for the south-
western coast but ended an
alert Wednesday night from
Cabo Francis Viejo south-
eastward to Cabo Engano.
Although the center of
the storm seemed likely
to miss most of the island,
intense rain still posed a
threat to both nations, said
Diana Goeller, a meteorolo-
gist with the U.S. National
Hurricane Center. The coun-
tries are divided by a range
of high mountains.
This storm has a lot
of heavy rainfall with it,
Goeller told The Associated
Press. So in those moun-
tainous areas, there could be
very dangerous, life-threat-
ening mudslides or flash
floods.
John Cangialosi, a hur-
ricane specialist with the
hurricane center, said up to
20 inches of rain was pos-
sible in isolated high-eleva-
tion areas. That is enough
to cause serious problems
in a country prone to cata-
strophic flooding.
Michel Davison of the
U.S. National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
said the storm earlier
dropped up to 10 inches
(250 millimeters) of rain in
parts of Puerto Rico, though
its center never got within
100 miles (160 kilometers)
of the island.

these nutrients to a per-
sons diet include potatoes
and beans for potassium and
dietary fiber. But the study
found introducing more
potassium in a diet is likely
to add $380 per year to the
average consumers food
costs, said lead researcher
Pablo Monsivais, an assistant
professor in the Department
of Epidemiology and the
School of Public Health at the
University of Washington.
We know more than ever
about the science of nutri-
tion, and yet we have not yet
been able to move the nee-
dle on healthful eating, he
said. The government should
provide help for meeting the
nutritional guidelines in an
affordable way.
He criticized some of the
marketing for a healthy diet
for example, the image
of a plate of salmon, leafy
greens and maybe some rice
pilaf and said a meal like
that is not affordable for many
Americans.
Food-assistance programs
are helping people make
healthier choices by provid-
ing coupons to buy fruits and
vegetables, Monsivais said,
but some also put stumbling
blocks in front of the poor.
He mentioned, as an
example, a Washington state
policy making it difficult to
buy potatoes with food assis-
tance coupons for women
with children, even though
potatoes are one of the least
expensive ways to add potas-
sium to a diet.
The study, published in the
journal Health Affairs, was
based on a random telephone
survey of about 2,000 adults
in King County, Wash., fol-
lowed by a printed question-
naire that was returned by
about 1,300 people. They
noted what food they ate,
which was analyzed for nutri-
ent content and estimated
cost.

When the economy grows
less than 2 percent over a
12-month period, it risks slip-
ping into recession, says Mark
Vitner, senior economist at
Wells Fargo Securities. Over
the most recent such period,
the economy grew just 1.6 per-
cent.
Few economists are predict-
ing another recession, despite
a series of weak economic
reports. Gasoline prices have
come down from their high of
almost $4 a gallon in May. And
Japanese factories are starting
to crank up again after the
March earthquake.
At the heart of the econo-
mys problems are the debts
that consumers built up during
the early and mid-2000s. Many
borrowed against the equity
in their homes, convinced that
house prices would rise for-
ever.
When housing prices col-
lapsed, people were left owing
more than their homes were
worth. Others charged up their
credit cards. Now its payback
time, and Americans are spend-
ing less or spending cautiously
as they slash their debts.
Companies are reluctant to
hire until theyre convinced
enough customers are ready to
buy their products or services.
Corporate profits are booming,
though, because companies laid
off millions of workers, learned
to operate more efficiently with
smaller staffs and expanded in
growing markets overseas.
If companies were inclined
to hire, they could, Abruzzese
says.
So companies are wait-
ing for consumers to spend,
and consumers are waiting for
companies to hire them or offer
generous pay raises and job
security. Its a tough cycle to
break.
In the past, the government
has helped by spending on
infrastructure projects or jobs
programs. This time, its cut-
ting at all levels. In the second
quarter, government cutbacks
reduced economic growth by
0.2 percentage points.

Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: I heard
about something called the
Green Caf Network. What
is it and what are they trying
to accomplish for the environ-
ment?
Jane Stevenson, Los
Angeles, CA

The Green Caf Network
(GCN), a project of the non-
profit Earth Island Institute,
seeks to reduce Americans
environmental impacts by
greening the coffeehouse indus-
try and harnessing cafe culture
for community environmental
awareness. By educating and
working with cafe owners
and staff, GCN helps network
members reduce waste, save
energy, conserve water and
increase community steward-
ship. GCNs 30-plus cafes scat-
tered across Northern California
(as well as one in New York
City and another in Keshena,
Wisconsin) are committed to
reducing their carbon foot-
prints, promoting environmen-
tal responsibility and generally
operating in as sustainable a
manner as possible.
The approach of the GCN
is to build on the influence of
key institutionsneighborhood
cafes and Americans infatua-
tion with coffeeto try to raise
environmental awareness and
spur individual action. The idea
is that when people see their
local caf as a positive example
of green business practices and
community building, there is a
ripple effect, and the communi-
ty is strengthened accordingly.
For cafes interested in get-
ting involved, GCN provides
personalized consulting servic-
es to help owners reduce their
ecological footprints, enhance
and streamline their operations,
and set a visible good example
of environmental responsibil-
ity for the community at large.
Services can address specific
areas in need of attention, such
as energy and water conser-
vation, waste reduction, toxics
minimization and eco-friendly
purchasing, and also overall
efforts to green the business
from top to bottom. GCN can
also consult on green building
issues in the design, construc-
tion and remodel phases of a
cafes lifecycle. With a project
tagline of Love Our Planet a
Latte, how could one not love
what GCN is doing?
Cafes and coffee shops can
take steps to align environmen-
tal considerations with business
operations even without mem-
bership in GCN. The Barista
Exchange website, for one,
offers a treasure trove of infor-
mation and tips on greening up
cafes and coffee shops through
energy and waste reduction,
eco-friendly procurement and
the sourcing of organic fair
trade coffee. U.S. coffee shops
serve up about 25 million cups
every day, so coffee shops can
make a huge difference by
being green.
For its part, the nations lead-
ing coffee retailer, Starbucks,
has been a pioneer in green-
ing the coffee industry, and the
company considers environ-
mental stewardship a priority.
With dedicated programs for
increasing recycling, conserv-
ing energy and water, sourcing
greener beans, using sustainable
building techniques and materi-
als in new stores, and offsetting
carbon emissions, Starbucks
has worked hard to set a green
example.
Of course, cafe owners
and staff arent the only ones
responsible for greening your
coffee habit. You can play a
role too. One obvious place to
start is to bring in your own
reusable mug to fill up on your
favorite blend to cut down on
paper cup waste. And request-
ing fair trade coffee will help
ensure living wages for coffee
workers out in the fields and
send a message to caf owners
that you value doing the right
thing.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Opponents of Ohios new
collective bargaining over-
haul scored a tactical victory
Wednesday on the wording of
a ballot question to repeal it,
even as the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce pledged to put the
money and the political clout
of its 6,000 business members
behind defending the law.
The state Ballot Board
agreed that a no vote in
November will support repeal
of the law, while a yes
vote will uphold the law.
Since both opponents and
voters who are skeptical or
confused by an issue tend to
vote no, that could provide
an advantage to opponents of
a law already polling unfa-
vorably among a majority of
Ohioans.
Supporters of the law are
far from giving up, and sup-
port from the business com-
munity could be substantial.
The Ohio Chambers board
did not decide exactly how
much money it planned to
spend in defense of the con-
tentious collective bargaining
legislation, said the chamber
spokeswoman Julie Wagner
Feasel. Board members also
did not commit any dollars in
backing a proposed amend-
ment to Ohios constitution
that would prohibit any fed-
eral, state or local law from
forcing Ohioans to participate
in a health care system.
On both ballot issues, the
Ohio Chamber plans to lever-
age support from its mem-
bers through newsletters and
e-mails, Feasel said. The
group also wants to work
with other local chambers to
educate voters.
The Ballot Boards deci-
sion on the wording of the
collective bargaining law
question followed hours of
testimony as well as nego-
tiations by Secretary of State
Jon Husted, the boards
Republican chairman.
Having yes support the
original law and no oppose
it echoes years of Ohio ballot
tradition.
Proponents of the law
signed by Gov. John Kasich
in late March wanted a yes
to favor repeal of the contro-
versial Senate Bill 5 and a
no vote to oppose repeal.
They argued the committee
fighting the law has spent
more than $4 million making
clear it is a repeal question.
They framed the issue,
now they want to flip the
issue, said Don Brey, an
attorney for supporters of the
law.
The state has 655,000
union members, who consti-
tute 13.7 percent of the work
force, according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Thats more than the U.S.
average rate of 11.9 percent.
Chamber president and
CEO Andrew E. Doehrel said
that in its decision to defend
the law, the board recog-
nized the fundamental imbal-
ance between the cost of
government and Ohios eco-
nomic reality.
By committing the
Chambers resources, finan-
cial and otherwise, to this
important endeavor, Ohios
job creators are reiterating the
message that Ohio must be
open for business, Doehrel
said in a written statement.
The chambers support
should give the backers of
the collective bargaining law
and the so-called Healthcare
Freedom Amendment a wel-
come boost from businesses
going into whats expected
to be a bitter fall campaign
against labor unions.
The most recent campaign
filing reports show that the
group opposing the collec-
tive bargaining law has raised
about $7 million.
The states labor groups
representing teachers, police
officers and firefighters have
also turned to their members
to help pay for the repeal
campaign. For instance, mem-
bers of the Ohio Education
Association have already
agreed to a one-time, $54
dues increase. The move was
expected to yield $5.5 million
for the ballot effort.
The law restricts collec-
tive bargaining rights for
more than 350,000 teachers,
police officers, state employ-
ees and others. It bans public
employee strikes and gets rid
of automatic pay increases,
replacing them with merit
raises or performance pay.
Other business groups
have also recently thrown
their support behind uphold-
ing the collective bargaining
restrictions. They include
the Greater Cleveland
Partnership, one of the larg-
est metropolitan chambers
of commerce in the country,
and chambers of commerce in
Cincinnati and Dayton.
Opponents contend the col-
lective bargaining restrictions
are an unfair attack on pub-
lic employee unions that had
worked cooperatively with
their government employers
for decades. They accuse law-
makers of exploiting a state
budget crisis to pass a mea-
sure unpopular with a major-
ity of Ohioans.
A recent Quinnipiac
University poll found that 56
percent of Ohio voters say the
new collective bargaining law
should be repealed, compared
with 32 percent who favor
keeping it in place.
However, Kasich, a first-
term governor, and his GOP
colleagues argue the legisla-
tion will help city officials,
school superintendents and
others control their costs at a
time when they, too, are feel-
ing budget woes. Kasich has
said he wants to play a visible
role defending the law.
The governor has enjoyed
strong ties with the cham-
ber since his campaign for
office. Last September, the
chambers political arm broke
a 117-year tradition of not
wading into the gubernatorial
election by endorsing Kasich
over then-Democratic Gov.
Ted Strickland.
Also Wednesday, the state
Ballot Board approved the
wording Ohioans will see
Nov. 8 when they vote on the
health care amendment and
on whether to raise the age
limit for judges.
Board: No vote
to count against
Ohio union law

COLUMBUS (AP) This
weeks special election was
one of the toughest in years for
Ohio school districts.
The Ohio School Boards
Association says voters
approved just six of the 23
school tax requests on the bal-
lot around the state on Tuesday.
That works out to a passage
rate of 26 percent, the lowest in
an August election since the 14
percent approved in 2007.
Association Director of
Legislative Services Damon
Asbury tells The Columbus
Dispatch school districts are
in a hard spot trying to hold
on to programs and services
while contending with state
budget cuts and voters con-
cerns about the economy.
Some districts with losing
levies on Tuesday are already
gearing up to try again on
Election Day in November.
COLUMBUS (AP)
Authorities at Ohio State
University say a man with
a knife tried to abduct two
women in separate incidents
near OSU Medical Center.
Both women ran away
on Wednesday and were
unharmed. The Columbus
Dispatch reports one was
approached at a bus stop by
a man who held a knife with
a 3-inch blade to her side and
told her she was coming with
him and he was going to rape
her. The other woman was
grabbed near her car.
The university sent a text
message alert to more than
30,000 recipients and warned
people to be aware of their
surroundings when walking
around campus.
University police Deputy
Chief Richard Morman says
officers questioned a man
Wednesday night. There was
no immediate word of any
charges filed.

Thursday planned to give its
annual George Washington

Quigley had been told his
14-foot flagpole violated the
rules of his development in
Macedonia, 15 miles southeast
of Cleveland. The Vietnam
veteran and his attorney said
the homeowners association
was challenging Quigleys
right to free speech. The asso-

WASHINGTON (AP)
Seventy-two people have been
charged with participating in
an international child pornog-
raphy network that prosecu-
tors say used an online bul-
letin board called Dreamboard
to trade tens of thousands of
images and videos of sexually
abused children.
Attorney General Eric
Holder and Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano
said Wednesday a 20-month
law enforcement effort called
Operation Delego targeted
more than 600 Dreamboard
members around the world for
allegedly participating in the
private, members-only Internet
club created to promote pedo-
philia.
Numerous participants in
the network sexually abused
children ages 12 and under,
produced images and video
of the abuse and then shared
it with other club members,
according to court papers
released in the case.
At a news conference at the
Justice Department, the attor-
ney general called the criminal
activity a nightmare for the
children and said that some
of the children featured in the
images and videos were just
infants.
In many cases, the chil-
dren being victimized were in
obvious, and intentional, pain
- even in distress and crying,
just as the rules for one area of
the bulletin board mandated,
the attorney general said.
Fifteen arrested Dreamboard
participants personally created
child pornography, according
to the Justice Department.
Napolitano said the amount
of child porn swapped by
participants in the network
was massive, the equivalent
to 16,000 DVDs. Assistant
Attorney General Lanny
Breuer, who heads Justices
criminal division, called the
criminal enterprise a living
horror.
Of the 72 charged in the
United States, 43 have been
arrested in this country and
nine abroad. Another 20 are
known to authorities only
by their Internet names and
remain at large.
Authorities have arrested
people in 13 other countries
Canada, Denmark, Ecuador,
France, Germany, Hungary,
Kenya, the Netherlands, the
Philippines, Qatar, Serbia,
Sweden and Switzerland, but
some of those were arrested
on local rather than the U.S.
charges.
The U.S. indictments were
unsealed in Shreveport. La.
To conceal their conduct,
members used screen names
rather than actual names and
accessed the bulletin board via
proxy servers, with Internet
traffic routed through other
computers to disguise a users
location, according to the court
papers.
Participants were required
to continually upload images
of child sexual abuse to main-
tain their membership.
Participants who molest-
ed children and created new
images of child pornography
were placed in a Super VIP
category that gave them access
to the entire quantity of child
porn on the bulletin board, the
court papers stated.
A Super Hardcore sec-
tion of the bulletin board
was limited to posts showing
adults having violent sexual
intercourse with very young
kids subjected to physical
and sexual abuse.

WASHINGTON The
special panels goal is lofty:
concoct a deal both parties
will embrace to slash federal
deficits by a mammoth $1.5
trillion or more over the next
decade.
Yet from the moment
House and Senate leaders
appoint the 12 members until
the 2012 elections, hurricane-
force political pressures are
going to make it tough to pro-
duce anything substantial.
All sides will fierce-
ly defend core priorities,
Republicans opposing tax
increases and defense cuts and
Democrats protecting benefits
for Medicare, Social Security
and Medicaid recipients.
Those happen to be exactly
where nonpartisan analysts
say savings must occur for
any serious deficit-cutting
package to emerge.
The decisions at least
the next big ones rest with
the committee set up by the
agreement that defused the
debt-limit crisis this week.
Every choice will have
implications for President
Barack Obamas re-election,
for Republican hopefuls jock-
eying to unseat him and for
Democrats and Republicans
struggling for control of the
House and Senate.
If the special committee of
lawmakers fails to produce a
savings plan by Thanksgiving
or if Congress rejects it by
Christmas, this weeks com-
promise debt limit accord
between Obama and Congress
will automatically trigger cuts
of $1.2 trillion from the budget,
with half from the military.
That would mean dan-
gerous across-the-board
defense cuts that would do
real damage to our security,
our troops and their families
and our ability to protect the
nation, Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta declared on
Wednesday.
Heres a map of the road
ahead, based on interviews
with two dozen lawmakers,
aides and lobbyists.
A P P O I N T I N G
COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Within two weeks,
Democratic and GOP leaders
of the House and Senate will
each name three lawmakers
to form the new 12-member
committee.
House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
and Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
are sure to name members
who will be unquestionably
loyal to them and their partys
interests.
The special committee will
need approval by just seven
members to send a package to
Congress for a vote with no
changes allowed. No leader
can afford to appoint a wild
card who might stray.
The leaders have another
incentive to name loyalists
who follow party orthodoxy:
self-preservation. None wants
to lose seats in the next elec-
tion, or risk a rebellion by
rank-and-file lawmakers that
might cost them their leader-
ship posts because a commit-
tee agreement abandons party
priorities.
Peoples political surviv-
ability might be at stake here,
both for members and control
of each chamber, said Robert
Reischauer, president of the
nonpartisan Urban Institute.
Appointees will prob-
ably have budget expertise. It
could be risky to name legis-
lators who were members of
the Simpson-Bowles commis-
sion or the Senates Gang of
Six, bipartisan groups that
proposed budget plans that
included higher taxes and
benefit cuts, because they
might embrace a compromise
that party leaders oppose.
So far, names floated as
possible Republican mem-
bers include Sens. Jon Kyl
of Arizona, the No. 2 GOP
leader who is retiring after
this term, Rob Portman of
Ohio, White House budget
chief under President George
W. Bush, and Mike Johanns
of Nebraska, a first-termer
and former governor.
CHICAGO (AP) Trying
to make up for lost time,
President Barack Obama
plunged back into his re-elec-
tion campaign Wednesday,
urging supporters not to be
discouraged by the frustrating
debt negotiations that con-
sumed Washington and kept
him from raising money for
his 2012 bid.
On the eve of his 50th
birthday, Obama spoke to
donors at two fundraisers at
the historic Aragon Ballroom,
and via video conference to
supporters at more than 1,000
house parties from coast to
coast.
The fundraisers were
held as Obamas presidential
campaign lowered expecta-
tions for how much money it
would bring in this summer,
in part because the campaign
had to cancel 10 events while
the president and his staff
were stuck in Washington
for the showdown over rais-
ing the governments debt
limit. Obamas quick stop in
Chicago was his first trip out-
side the Washington region in
more than a month.
Obama didnt try to sell
his supporters on the deal to
raise the debt ceiling and cut
spending that he signed this
week after arduous negotia-
tions with Republicans. But
he did warn that the country
couldnt afford another self-
inflicted wound like it expe-
rienced this summer.
We dont have time to
play these partisan games.
Weve got too much work
to do, Obama said. He told
supporters not to be discour-
aged by the partisan fights
in Washington, saying, You
did not elect me president to
duck the tough issues. You
elected me president to do the
tough things.
At a high-dollar dinner
fundraiser later in the night,
took a swipe at his Republican
adversaries, saying, I give
the other side credit. They are
single-minded in their focus
in wanting to cut programs
and shrink government.
The Obama campaign
hoped the presidents Chicago
events would give a boost
to fundraising efforts that are
expected to bring in tens of
millions less this summer than
the $86 million raised for the
campaign and the Democratic
National Committee in the
spring.
Were going to raise sig-
nificantly less in the third
quarter than we did in the
second quarter, said Jim
Messina, Obamas campaign
manager. We will not be
able to replace all of these
events just because of his busy
schedule. We always knew
that he had his job and we had
to do this around his schedule,
and the truth is we just have to
deal with canceling a months
worth of events.
The president still holds
a large fundraising advan-
tage over his GOP rivals and
has been quietly building his
campaign organization while
Republicans try to establish
themselves with voters in
Iowa, New Hampshire and
other early voting states.
Former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney collected more
than $18 million through the
end of June, while Minnesota
Rep. Michele Bachmann,
another top contender in the
GOP race, brought in $4 mil-
lion.
Obama was greeted in
Chicago by his former chief
of staff, Rahm Emanuel, now
mayor of Chicago, before
heading to a fundraiser head-
lined by local favorites Herbie
Hancock, Jennifer Hudson and
the band OK Go. Donors paid
between $50 and $35,800, the
legal maximum, to attend.
With the cloud of uncer-
tainty that surrounded the debt
debate lifted, Obama smiled
brightly while the crowd of
about 2,400 sang Happy
Birthday.

WASHINGTON
Hospitals in Massachusetts
will reap an annual windfall
of $275 million due to a loop-
hole enshrined in the new
health care law. Hospitals in
most other states will get less
money as a result.
The disclosure was buried
in a regulation that Medicare
issued late last week. Hospital
association executives in other
states are up in arms over
the news, which comes at a
time when they are girding
for more cuts under the newly
signed federal debt deal.
If I could think of a bet-
ter word than outrageous,
I would come up with it,
said Steve Brenton, president
of the Wisconsin Hospital
Association.
Even Medicare says it is
concerned about manipula-
tion of its inpatient payment
rules to create big rewards
for one state at the expense
of others.
Hospitals in 41 states will lose
money as result of the change.
The biggest loser: New York,
which is out $47.5 million.
Seven states come out
ahead, though none as well as
Massachusetts. The runner-up,
New Jersey, stands to gain $54
million, or about 20 percent of
the Massachusetts windfall.
President Barack Obamas
health care overhaul was sup-
posed to open the way for
reforms to Medicares byzan-
tine payment system. Critics
say this latest twist will
encourage hospitals and other
big players to game the sys-
tem in a scramble for increas-
ingly scarce taxpayer dollars.
The health care law was
to usher in a new era, based
on innovations that focused
on quality improvement and
more efficient health care,
said Herb Kuhn, president
of the Missouri Hospital
Association.
The head of the
Massachusetts Hospital
Association defended the
change. We do not see this
as manipulation of rules, said
Lynn Nicholas. She said the
higher payments will help com-
pensate Massachusetts hospitals
for a Medicare policy change a
few years ago that cost them
hundreds of millions.
Massachusetts Democratic
Sen. John Kerry, a co-sponsor
of the health care law amend-
ment, was also steadfast.
When (Medicare)
changed the rules five years
ago, the rest of the country
gained at our expense and
Massachusetts took a big hit,
Kerry said in a statement.
These new rules just provide
some protection.
The saga of how
Massachusetts scored big
could come straight from a
lobbyists playbook.
It goes back a few years
and twists and turns through
Medicares mind-boggling
payment rules.
Those rules include a factor
thats used to adjust payments to
hospitals for difference in labor
costs around the country. The
adjustments cannot lead to any
increase in overall Medicare
spending, so that automatically
sets up the potential for winners
and losers.
On top of that, another rule
says that the labor cost factor
for a hospital in an urban area
of a state cannot be less than
for that states rural areas.
Thats where two small
hospitals on Nantucket and
Marthas Vineyard, islands
off the Massachusetts coast
popular with vacationers,
come into the picture.
Those hospitals had been
operating as critical access
hospitals, reimbursed by
Medicare at special rates that
usually work out to be top tier.
Then, in 2007, according
to Kuhn, mainland hospitals
persuaded them to reclassify
themselves as rural hospi-
tals. That put them back under
the same payment rules as the
mainland hospitals. What fol-
lowed was a sort of domino
effect.

By JAIME ARON
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas Imagine
this: Deion Sanders high-steps
across the stage at the Pro
Football Hall of Fame induc-
tion ceremony, circling his
newly-unveiled bust. He looks
at it quizzically, as if some-
things missing. He
then reaches for his
back pocket, pulls out
a do-rag, places it on
the head of the statue
and smiles.
Why not? Even
today, long after the
Prime Time of his
career, Sanders is all about
being flashy.
For 14 seasons, Sanders
strutted his stuff across the
NFL, a threat to score or
at least shake things up
on defense, special teams and
occasionally offense. His tal-
ent was undeniable, although
often overshadowed by his
flamboyance.
His induction Saturday night
will seal his greatness. Getting
in the first time he was on the
ballot is further confirmation he
was among the most dominant
players of the 1990s, arguably
one of the most dynamic play-
ers of any era. Hes also one of
the most unique, a trend-setter
whose legacy is still evident
every Sunday.
Deion had the ability to
not only focus on his craft and
play football at the highest
level, he could also entertain,
said Eugene Parker, Sanders
agent and close friend who will
present him for induction. He
always used to say, I do what
I love and I love what I do. He
wanted to express that exuber-
ance for what he was doing.
The first time he returned
a punt in the NFL, he took it
68 yards for a touchdown. He
would score 22 touchdowns
five different ways 19 on
defense and special teams,
the most in NFL history. He
returned two interceptions at
least 90 yards for touchdowns
in a single season, another
first. He made the NFLs all-
decade team in the 1990s as
both a cornerback and a punt
returner.
But those are just lines on
a resume. They dont do jus-
tice to what kind of threat he
was during his peak years.
That was best evidenced by
the feeling fans, foes and even
teammates had every time a
ball headed his way; everyone
held their breath to see what
he would do with it.
Sanders had the speed
and moves to weave his way
through traffic, into
the open field. And
thats where the
real show began.
What previous
generations con-
sidered taunting a
beaten foe, Sanders
considered perfor-
mance art. Putting
a ball behind his head or strut-
ting or taking scissor-steps, he
was always looking for fun
ways to showcase himself. He
wanted to be more than a great
player, to be someone who all
by himself was worth the price
of admission. Love him or
hate him, he often was.
After establishing himself
as an All-Pro with the Atlanta
Falcons, Sanders wanted to
show he was more than a great
player on a mediocre team. So
he went to the San Francisco
49ers to help them try end-
ing Dallas 2-year reign as
Super Bowl champs. He was
voted the NFLs top defen-
sive player of that season.
The 49ers indeed won it all,
knocking off the Cowboys in
a classic NFC championship
game, highlighted by Sanders
stifling performance against
Michael Irvin.
Then, to further prove what
a difference-maker he was,
Sanders switched sides, join-
ing Irvin and the Cowboys the
next year and helping them
regain the throne as Super
Bowl champs.
Two seasons, two teams,
two titles. With a $12,999,999
signing bonus in between. Oh,
one more thing in his spare
time, he played outfield in
the major leagues and put out
a rap album featuring songs
such as Y U NV Me and
Must Be the Money.
Jerry Jones was so shaken
by the huge check he had
to write to sign Sanders
nearly double the $7 mil-
lion bonus hed given Troy
Aikman that he flew to
his childhood home for some
soul-searching.
He flew back convinced it
was a risk worth taking, in part
because of the promotional
dividends of having Sanders
in a Cowboys uniform. Jones
and Sanders even wound up
co-starring in several televi-
sion commercials.
What you see is Prime
Time, Jones said. He knew
that he certainly had a gift and
then he also has good instincts
when it comes to being inter-
esting. You say, Wouldnt
that much talent and work
ethic make you interest-
ing? Deion understands that
to some degree controversy
can fuel that kind of interest.
Deions flair was good for
every team he played on a
big positive, not one negative.
It was a very positive thing for
all of his teams.
Sanders played from 1989-
2000, then from 2004-05.
After Dallas, he spent a season
in Washington and the come-
back years with the Baltimore
Ravens. He took a handoff in
each of those last two years, a
subtle reminder that he could
still be a threat at ages 37
and 38, several years removed
from his dual-sport career. (He
played baseball from 1989-95,
then again in 97 and 2001.)
Deion was a fraud a
fraud, OK? Jones explained.
He wanted it to look easy,
but he was a hard worker.
He would give just enough at
practice to be a team player in
strength and conditioning but
when he went home he worked
like a dog on his strength. He
wanted everyone to think he
was a natural. He was but it
wasnt only because he was
born like that. He worked.
Sanders covered receivers
so well that quarterbacks knew
the odds were low of beating
him. They also knew that if
Sanders intercepted the pass,
he might return it for a TD;
even a 10-yard return could be
dazzling enough to fire up the
crowd and swing momentum.
(He averaged 25.1 yards on
his 53 career interceptions.) So
quarterbacks learned to avoid
him, tuning out whatever side
of the secondary he roamed.
Sanders also brought an
offensive mindset to defense.
He wasnt content with
intercepting a pass or recover-
ing a fumble. He wanted to
score every time he got the
ball. He made it look like so
much fun that everyone started
doing it. For better or worse,
jumbo-sized linemen have
gone away from the premise
of securing a loose ball, instead
trying to scoop up and running,
or finding a swift teammate
who might be able to pull off a
Sanders-esque return, complete
with some sort of celebration
not just in the end zone but
along the way.
Another part of his legacy
is all the defensive backs who
wear No. 21. Many do so as
a tribute to Sanders, much
like Jordan popularizing 23 in
basketball.
Deion was Prime Time,
Neon Deion, always that
flashy player that everybody
wanted to be, said Mike
Jenkins, the Cowboys corner-
back who now wears 21. He
always stood out and he let it
be known that he was one of
the best. He definitely made it
exotic to play cornerback.
When he was elected to
the Hall of Fame in February,
Sanders claimed he never
cared what others thought but
acknowledged how honored he
felt. If nothing else, it helped
justify the Hall of Fame gal-
lery hed already built in his
monstrous home.
He also told this story that
helps explain the motivation
behind everything hes accom-
plished: Next to the Bible,
my favorite book was The
Little Engine That Could. I
read that story so many times,
I know it by heart. ... A couple
trains passed that engine until
he started saying to himself,
I think I can. I think I can. I
think I can. And thats what
I modeled my career after. I
mean, it sounds arrogant, it
sounds brash, it sounds cocky.
But it was real.
Hanburger joins
Hall of Fame
WASHINGTON As someone
who worked for the Washington
Redskins for 37 years, Bubba Tyer
is full of stories about the Over The
Hill Gang, The Hogs and fran-
chise legends such as George Allen
and Joe Gibbs. The longtime trainer
can tell you who misbehaved, who
played the best pranks and which
guys hung around in the bars at
training camp.
When it comes to a Chris
Hanburger, the stories take a totally
different tone.
He didnt go in for a lot of frills,
Tyer said. He didnt go for a lot of
camaraderie. He certainly had friends
but to say hed come over and hang
out and shoot the bull with you, he
didnt do that. He went home.
With that in mind, how is the
linebacker from the great Redskins
teams of the 1970s going to handle
the fuss and fame on Saturday,
when hes inducted into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame?
He would rather just have some-
body say, Hey youre in the Hall of
Fame and thatd be the end of it,
Tyer added. He probably will give
the shortest acceptance speech on
record.
Yep. Its a safe bet.
Hes got that right, Hanburger
told The Associated Press from his
home in Darlington, S.C. Theyve
limited us in time, which I think is
great. Theyve had players in the
past speak for so long. No matter
how many people you try to remem-
ber or thank, I dont care if you stay
up there for two hours, youre still
going to leave people out. I think
its the way to go. Shorten it, keep it
general and get it over with.
Hanburger had the same no-
nonsense approach as the on-field
leader of the Redskins defense. An
18th-round draft pick in 1965, he was
a mainstay in Washington through
1978 and was voted to nine Pro
Bowls. He had the potentially daunt-
ing responsibility of calling the plays
for Allen a demanding, perfection-
ist coach who valued defense first
and foremost. This was long before
the days of intricate signals and
headsets, when now allow coaches
to dictate nearly every move and
formation from the sideline.
Of course, it helped that Allen
had overloaded the team with veter-
ans, thus the Over The Hill Gang.
I wouldnt call it daunting if
you knew the system, which we
did, Hanburger said. What made it
work for us, we had mature players
who understood what everybody did
in every defense, I would say 99.9
percent of the time. It was a lot of
fun to control the game right there
on the field. We could audiblize at
any time and we could audiblize to
any defense we had, whether we
had practiced it or not. When you
have mature players, it takes a lot of
pressure off the coach.
Although his accolades were
many and the Redskins became an
NFC power with Hanburger patrol-
ling the field he started the teams
first Super Bowl at the end of the
1972 season, a loss to the unde-
feated Miami Dolphins he had to
wait more than three decades after
his retirement to enter the Hall as a
senior nominee. He figured he was
never going to make it.
I never even gave it any thought,
to be honest with you, Hanburger
added. Other than the fact that if
it happened, it would be wonderful
and Im not going to let it worry me
at all. Thats just the way I am about
things. I had a job to do and I tried to
do it to the best of my ability.
Hanburgers life, including his
football demeanor, was shaped by
a military background. Born in Fort
Bragg, N.C., he had a father, uncle
and grandfather who were career
military. He headed to the Army
for two years before going to the
University of North Carolina.
An accident broke the bone
underneath his eye socket and sent
him to Walter Reed Army Medical
Center. His vision eventually recov-
ered but his right eye and right
ear remain slightly higher than his
left eye and ear. He said the Army
made him very regimented and
pretty much a creature of habit.
After he retired, Hanburger
stayed in the Washington, D.C., area
and would often go goose and duck
hunting. He also played in his former
teammates various celebrity golf
tournaments. Finally, he got tired of
the traffic, the taxes and the rat race
and moved to South Carolina.

rapidly growing collection of historic
documents and artifacts.
Wilson, one of the founders of
the American Football League, was
inducted into the hall in 2009. He
says the hall holds a special place
in my heart since it is the institution
that preserves the legacy of the
sport.
Ground-breaking will be Friday.

AKRON Add another
list of numbers to show how
much has changed in the world
of Tiger Woods.
Geoff Ogilvy ran across
a bookmakers odds for the
Bridgestone Invitational when
he noticed Woods at 20-to-1.
This would only be startling
because Woods hasnt com-
peted in three months while
letting injuries to his left leg
fully heal. In this case, how-
ever, Ogilvy considered that
Woods has won a record seven
times at Firestone and until last
year and never finished worse
than fifth.
Did you think you could
ever get Tiger at Firestone at
20-1? Ever? Ogilvy asked one
of the caddies. He was on
2-to-1 for a while.
Then he paused on the put-
ting green, which was filled
with players getting ready for a
World Golf Championship that
starts today.
Its been an odd year,
Ogilvy said.
The goal for Woods is to
restore some normalcy, at least
to his own game. He is coming
up on the 2-year anniversary
of his last win on American
soil. The last time he faced any
competition inside the ropes, it
lasted no more than nine holes
at The Players Championship
until he withdrew because of
leg injuries.
Now, he claims he is as
healthy as he has been in years
he wouldnt say how many
years, just plural. He has
looked solid in a 9-hole prac-
tice round alone on Tuesday
and with Hunter Mahan and
Arjun Atwal on Wednesday.
Then again, practice rounds
havent always been a good
indicator for Woods, except at
Pebble Beach and St. Andrews
in the summer of 2000.
What to expect Thursday?
Not even Woods knows.
I still havent been in a
competitive environment yet,
so thats a totally different
atmosphere, he answered.
The Bridgestone Invitational
features a 76-man field, which
includes only four past cham-
pions in the 11-year history of
this WGC event at Firestone
one win each for defend-
ing champion Mahan, Stewart
Cink and Darren Clarke, and
seven titles for Woods.
But that was the old Woods,
the guy who won at least one
World Championship every
year since 1999.
The recovering Woods?
He said his expectation was
to win, just like always. Some
of his peers, who have seen his
action over 20 winless months
and havent seen him the past
three months, arent so sure.
No one expects him to
come out and play well, U.S.
Open champion Rory McIlroy
said. Im sure he expects him-
self to come out and play and
compete but given the length
of layoff and considering hes
only been able to hit full shots
for the last two weeks or what-
ever, it would be an unbeliev-
able effort if he was to come
back and compete. But I think
just get through 72 holes and
maybe finish top 20 would be
a really good effort.
Whatever the expectations,
the level of curiosity about
Woods is close to what it was
when he returned from his sex
scandal at the 2010 Masters.
There was something about
the way he left The Players
Championship May 12 that
made it look as though he would
never be the same, that the four
surgeries on his left knee would
keep him from dominating the
way he once did.
Three months later, there
was a confidence with Woods
when he spoke about his health
and being patient to let his legs
heal properly.
Woods tees off at 1:40 p.m.
with Clarke, a long-time friend
who last month captured his
first major at the British Open.
Two groups behind them will
be Adam Scott, noteworthy
only because Scott now uses
Steve Williams, whom Woods
fired as a caddie a month ago.
Woods is using Bryon Bell,
a childhood friend who last
worked for him six years ago
at Disney.
The field is comprised of
the last Ryder Cup team mem-
bers from both sides, selected
winners on six tours around
the world and the top 50 in the
world ranking.
Wright, Juntanugarn hold lead
at Junior PGA
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Zachary
Wright of Phoenix shot a 3-under 69
Wednesday to take a 5-stroke lead
on the boys side of the Junior PGA
championship.
Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand leads
the girls competition at 7 under after
a second-round 68, putting her three
strokes up on Mariah Stackhouse of
Riverdale, Ga.
Wright opened the 156-player tour-
nament with a 66 one stroke off the
record on the Jack Nicklaus-designed
course and started fast in the sec-
ond round.
He eagled the par-5 second hole,
after his 6-iron shot from 200 yards
came to rest inches from the hole. He
also eagled the par-5 fifth hole with a
putt from beyond 50 feet.
Daniel Chian of Covina, Calif., is in
second after a 70.
Houtteman birdies to win 3-way
playoff at Boyne
BOYNE VALLEY TOWNSHIP,
Mich. Lee Houtteman of Grand
Traverse Resort has birdied the first
playoff hole to beat two challengers
and win the 20th annual Tournament
of Champions.
Houtteman, Andrew Ruthkoski
of Muskegon and Jeff Cuzzort of
Grosse Ile were tied at a five-under
211 Wednesday after three rounds of
regulation play.
The round was on the Alpine course
at Boyne Mountain Resort. Ruthkoskis
4 under 68 was the low score.
Scott Hebert of Grand Traverse
Resort and Korey Mahoney of
Thompsonville finished the three
rounds one stroke back at 212.

MILWAUKEE Casey
McGehee homered three times and
the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to
beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-5
on Wednesday and add to their NL
Central lead.
McGehee hit go-ahead, 2-run
homers in both the first and third
innings and added a seventh-inning
solo shot to give Milwaukee its
eighth win in nine games at Miller
Park. Corey Hart also homered for
the Brewers, who extended their
lead over the Cardinals to 3 1/2
games.
Rafael Furcal hit a 3-run homer
and drove in four runs off Randy
Wolf (8-8) in his fourth game since
being acquired Sunday in a trade
with the Dodgers but new Cardinals
starter Edwin Jackson struggled.
Jackson (1-1) made his second
start with St. Louis since being
acquired in a 3-team trade. He gave
up 10 runs eight earned and
allowed 14 hits over seven innings
of extended work because of St.
Louis worn-down bullpen following
an 11-inning win on Tuesday.
Phillies 8, Rockies 6
DENVER Roy Halladay
fought through an erratic outing for
his NL-leading 14th win and Ryan
Howard drove in four runs with a
homer and a double as Philadelphia
completed the sweep.
Halladay (14-4) allowed five
runs on eight hits in seven innings.
He struck out seven and walked
one as the NL East-leading Phillies
won their sixth straight. Brad Lidge
got three outs for his first save of
the season after being reinstated
from the DL late last month.
Jason Hammel (6-11) gave up
six runs on eight hits in five innings
in taking the loss, the Rockies
fourth straight.
Giants 8, Diamondbacks 1
SAN FRANCISCO Ryan
Vogelsong won his career-best
sixth straight decision and Orlando
Cabrera drove in three runs to help
San Francisco remain atop the NL
West.
Vogelsong (9-1) allowed one
run on five hits, struck out seven
and walked three in six innings as
the Giants snapped a 5-game los-
ing streak.
Carlos Beltran tripled among his
three hits, scored twice and drove
in a run in his best game since join-
ing the Giants in a trade from the
New York Mets last Thursday.
Jason Marquis (8-6) went four
innings, allowing eight runs
seven earned on 10 hits with
one walk and one strikeout.
Braves 6, Nationals 4
WASHINGTON Dan Uggla
hit a 3-run homer and extended
his career-best hitting streak to 25
games and Freddie Freeman had
two hits and two RBIs as Atlanta
avoid a sweep.
Ugglas streak is Atlantas lon-
gest since Marquis Grissom put
together a 28-game run in 1996,
while Freemans 18-game run is the
longest by a rookie in the majors
this season.
Braves rookie Brandon Beachy
(5-2) took a 4-hit shutout into the
sixth but failed to get another out.
Chien-Ming Wang (0-2) allowed
six runs and seven hits in five
innings and Jayson Werth homered
for the Nationals, whose 4-game
winning streak ended.
Cubs 1, Pirates 0
PITTSBURGH Starlin Castro
homered and Matt Garza pitched
seven shutout innings to lead the
Chicago Cubs over the sliding
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Castros solo homer leading off
the eighth inning made a winner
of Garza (5-8). The right-hander
combined on a 4-hitter with Sean
Marshall and Carlos Marmol, who
worked the ninth for his 22nd save.
Garza was lifted after walking
pinch-hitter Matt Diaz to start the
eighth. He allowed four hits, walked
two and struck out seven for his first
win in seven starts.
Castro hit a full-count pitch over
the left-field fence off Chris Resop
(3-3) for his fourth home run of the
season to give the Cubs their first
4-game winning streak of 2011.
The shortstop went 3-for-4 and is
9-for-14 in the first three games of
the 4-game series.
Pittsburgh starter Charlie Morton
pitched seven scoreless innings,
allowing five hits.
Astros 5, Reds 4
HOUSTON Rookie J.D.
Martinez homered and hit a go-
ahead 2-run double in the seventh
inning to help rookie starter Jordan
Lyles pick up his first career win
as the Houston Astros beat the
Cincinnati Reds.
Martinez hit a 2-run homer in
the first inning and drove in two
more with a bases-loaded double
off reliever Nick Masset (1-5) to
put Houston ahead 4-3. Massets
tough outing ruined a good night
by Reds starter Dontrelle Willis,
who yielded eight hits and two runs
and also put Cincinnati ahead in
the seventh with a solo home run.
The shot, which landed several
rows up in the stands in right field,
was his first home run since Aug.
29, 2007.
Lyles (1-6) allowed six hits and
three runs in seven innings to pick
up his first win in his 12th start.

SAN DIEGO Tim Stauffer
shut down the Dodgers for 6 1/3
innings, Jason Bartlett homered
and the San Diego Padres averted
a 3-game sweep.
Bartlett, who had three hits,
broke a scoreless tie with a leadoff
home run in the sixth against Ted
Lilly (7-11). The Padres stopped
their 5-game losing streak against
Los Angeles as Heath Bell, the
subject of trade rumors prior to the
July 31 deadline, posted his first
save since San Diego opted not to
deal the closer, who is in the last
year of his contract. The save was
Bells 31st in 33 opportunities.
Stauffer (7-8) gave up six hits,
walked one and struck out two.
The Associated Press
BOSTON Jacoby Ellsbury got the
winning hit for the second night in a
row, homering with two outs in the ninth
inning to give the Boston Red Sox a

ters on groundouts before Ellsbury hit an
0-1 pitch over the wall in straightaway
center field. Jonathan Papelbon (4-0)
pitched a perfect ninth.

DETROIT Doug Fister pitched
seven effective innings to win his Detroit
debut while Alex Avila and Ryan Raburn
homered as the Tigers beat the Texas
Rangers.
Fister (4-12), acquired from Seattle on
July 30, earned his first victory since May
30 a span of 10 starts. He allowed two
earned runs and eight hits without walk-
ing or striking out a batter, becoming the
first Tigers starter to go seven or more
innings without a walk or strikeout since
Justin Verlander on May 17, 2006. Jose
Valverde pitched the ninth for his 30th
save in as many tries, despite allowing a
solo homer to Mike Napoli.

and the Seattle Mariners swept past the
Oakland Athletics.
Furbush (2-3), acquired Saturday in
a 4-player deal with Detroit, allowed one
run and two hits with three strikeouts and
no walks. He had a perfect game through
4 1/3 innings before Conor Jackson
ended it with a fifth-inning double off the
left-field wall that was inches away from

AGRIBUSINESS
Drought forces Texas, Okla.
ranchers to cut herds
By CHRISTOPHER
SHERMAN
and BETSY BLANEY
The Associated Press
McALLEN, Texas
Texas cattle rancher Charles
Kothman is down to six
calves and their mothers
after selling off 80 animals in
recent months.
The drought that has baked
pastures and dried ponds
has ranchers in Texas and
Oklahoma the nations top
two beef producers cull-
ing their herds. Some have
sold off all their cattle, but
Kothman is hanging on and
hoping for rain.
I may get to the point
that I say no and take
them over to the sale barn,
said Kothman, whose ranch
is about 70 miles south of
San Angelo. Some ranchers
say they may sell out and
get back into the business
down the road. Others may
never get back in, Kothman
said. My reason for saying
maybe is because Im 74
years old.
Cattle ranchers either have
to sell cattle during droughts
or buy feed because their
barren pastures cant sustain
the animals. If they opt to
buy hay while watching for
rain clouds, they risk running
into bankruptcy. If they sell
off cows of calf-bearing age
instead, they do it knowing
rebuilding the herd later will
be a long, costly process.
Most cows sold are being
sent to slaughter. When the
drought ends, demand for ani-
mals to rebuild herds is likely
to peak just as the nations
cattle population is at its low-
est since 1958. Prices for the
ranchers still in business are
expected to be sky-high.
Whether you raise them
or buy them its going to
be much more expensive
to rebuild your herd, said
David Anderson, a live-
stock economist with Texas
AgriLife Extension Service.
Texass beef herd had
shrunk before the latest
drought. At the beginning
of 1996, Texas had 5.9 mil-
lion cows but a drought that
year and low beef prices at
the time prompted ranchers
to cut down the herd, and
it continued to shrink with
the recession and the sky-
rocketing costs of maintain-
ing cattle. At the start of this
year, the herd was down to 5
million.
Texas is coming off its
driest nine-month period
ever and its hottest June
on record. Most of the state
is in one of the two worst
drought stages. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture
rated 94 percent of its pas-
ture and range land as either
poor or very poor last week,
a record since tracking
began in 1995. The rating
means theres no food for
grazing livestock.
Conditions are similar in
Oklahoma, which is the driest
it has been since the 1930s.
Some cows are being sold
to cattlemen in states that
have pasture, but most are
going to slaughter. While
ranchers cull their herds every
year, they usually sell older
or infertile cows and pass
plump calves to feedlots in
an effort to keep their herds
as profitable as possible.
In a drought, calves are
taken from mothers earlier
and sold at a lighter weight
and, presumably, less profit.
Borderline cows nearing the
end of their productive life
are let go early. The goal is to
protect the factories, those
cows that are in their prime
calf-bearing years. A cow
sold now means there wont
be a calf to sell next year.
Bob Edington, who owns
the Coleman Livestock
Auction 160 miles southwest
of Fort Worth, said ranch-
ers have already sold calves
they would normally keep
until fall. On July 20, he had
nearly 4,700 head of cattle
move through his auction. A
year before, that number was
closer to 1,200.
Were selling the moth-
ers off, which is the ... factory
of our business, Edington
said.
The cattle aint here no
more, he added. People
need to see whats going on,
its devastating.
A woman recently called
Edington to say she would be
bringing her last 70 animals
to his next auction. Shes 89
years old, and she wont be
back, he said.
But Jesse Carver, execu-
tive director of the Livestock
Marketing Association of
Texas, said the number of
ranchers selling entire herds
remains relatively small and
most are older ranchers who
are tired of fighting it.
Still, in particularly hard
hit areas, ranchers have seen
neighbors load up their cows
for sale and decided they bet-
ter do it too while prices
remain high.
A panic has set in,
Carver said of those areas. If
you saw a statewide mental-
ity like that, it would be dev-
astating ... everybody trying
to beat the market down.
Brady rancher Clay Jones
has sold 130 animals and will
sell another 82 this week.
That will leave him with
about 182, and he also has
income from his position as
president of a bank in town.
Without any rain, Im
probably a month away from
liquidating the remainder (of
the herd), said Jones, whose
family has been in ranching
for 100 years. In my mind,
its not a decision. Its a mat-
ter of water. Its a matter of
grass, feed, the input costs
to keep the herd going.
Its a similar story in
Oklahoma. And, with limited
hay production because of
the drought, the winter could
be especially problematic,
said Mark Anderson, a herd
manager for Oklahoma State
University.
I talked to one man who
picks up hay in a meadow
that made 106 large round
bales last year, Anderson
said. It made 17 this year.
Were selling the
mothers off, which
is the ... factory
of our business.
The cattle aint
here no more.
People need to see
whats going on,
its devastating.

By JENNA FRYER
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Raise your hand, please, if
you picked Paul Menard to
make the Chase for the
Sprint Cup Championship.
Chances are Menard
wasnt on many lists out-
side of those made at Richard
Childress Racing. But hes
a very real threat now,
thanks to his win Sunday at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
and NASCARs change to the
qualifying rules.
The 12-driver field this
year will include wild cards
awarded to the two drivers
outside the top 10 but among
the top 20 in points who have
the most victories.
Menard is now one of
them.
But holding on to one of
the wild cards isnt expected
to be easy as drivers have just
six races remaining to lock up
a spot in the Chase. It could set
the stage for the most aggres-
sive racing in recent memory,
as teams take huge chances to
put themselves in position for
a win. Menard and crew chief
Slugger Labbe essentially did
that Sunday at Indianapolis,
where they used fuel strategy
to give Menard his first career
Cup victory. Labbe had laid it
out in a team meeting before
they even arrived at Indy.
As the series shifts this
weekend to Pocono Raceway,
everyone will be watching to
see who rolls the dice with a
different setup, gutsy strategy
or on-track aggression.
Denny Hamlin is currently
ranked 11th in the standings
but because hes got one win
this season, hes presently
holding down the other wild
card. Pocono is one of his
strongest tracks and a win
Sunday would be a significant
cushion toward qualifying for
the Chase.
But his Joe Gibbs Racing
crew isnt taking any chances.
Upset that Hamlins engine
failed during practice at
Indianapolis a lingering
issue this season for JGR
driver and crew chief began
inquiring about the possibility
of using a Toyota-built engine
later this month at Michigan,
another strong track for
Hamlin and a critical place
for him to lock up a spot in
the Chase.
Then theres David Ragan
and Brad Keselowski, who
both have wins this sea-
son and rank outside the
top 10 in points. Ragan is
16th in the standings, while
Keselowski, at 21st, would
have to move inside the top
20 to be eligible for a wild
card.
Both drivers are currently
racing Menard for the second
wild card but that field could
widen at any time. Tony
Stewart and Dale Earnhardt
Jr. are ranked ninth and 10th
in the standings but both are
winless. Theyd make the
Chase if they can stay inside
the top 10 in points but with-
out a win, they have zero
breathing room.
Then theres Clint Bowyer
and Greg Biffle, who are also
winless but ranked ahead
of Menard in the standings.
Should either grab a win over
the next six weeks, theyd
instantly move into the Chase
field.
Carl Edwards re-signs with
Roush Fenway Racing: Carl
Edwards has spurned an offer from
Joe Gibbs Racing to stay put with cur-
rent team Roush Fenway Racing, The
Associated Press has learned.
As the top free agent in NASCAR,
Edwards has diligently researched all
his options and appeared close to
bolting for JGR. But a person familiar
with the negotiations said Edwards
has agreed to a multi-year contract
extension to remain with Roush. The
person spoke to AP on condition of
anonymity because the deal will not
be announced until later this morning.
The current Sprint Cup Series
points leader was under increasing
pressure to make a decision, even
though he was steadfast in negotiating
privately and keeping the process out
of the press.
Edwards has been with Roush
since 2002, when the team gave him
his break in NASCAR. It came in the
Trucks Series but Edwards was in Cup
by 2004 as a late-season replacement
for Jeff Burton.
Keselowski taken to hospital
after crash at test
BRASELTON, Ga. Keselowski
was airlifted to a Georgia hospital fol-
lowing a head-on crash into a wall at
Road Atlanta on Wednesday.
Penske Racing wrote in a state-
ment that Keselowski walked from the
car and was taken to the hospital for
precautionary reasons.
Keselowski later posted several
updates on his Twitter page, includ-
ing two photos that appeared to show
a swollen ankle and an abrasion on
his foot.
He posted on Twitter from his hos-
pital bed that he hit a section of wall
that did not have an energy-absorbing
barrier after the brakes on his No. 2
Dodge failed. He was going over data
with his engineers that showed he had
slowed from 155 mph to about 100
mph at time of impact.
Keselowski posted he was going
to be released from the hospital
Wednesday and would be fine to race
this weekend at Pocono Raceway.
Keselowski is 21st in the stand-
ings and trying to earn one of the wild-
card berths in the Chase.
Race heats up for 2 wild-
card spots in the Chase

Hubby having affair with cousin
Dear Annie: I am in my
early 50s and have been married
for 34 years. My husband is the
only man I have ever been with.
For years, I put up with his
cheating because I
was concerned about
my children and our
financial future. Now
the kids are grown
and can take care of
themselves.
My husband has
been with his current
lover for almost three
years. Initially, I let it
go, but then he start-
ed treating me even
worse than before.
He would get angry
if I went anywhere,
but would never join me, so I
stopped going out. Then he cut
me off from any access to our
money. I now have to ask him
for whatever I need, and he gets
to decide if I can have it or not.
He also told me I can no longer
open the mail.
I started to check up on him
and keep track of his phone
calls. It took a while, but I was
finally able to get undeniable
proof of his affair. This is the
part I cant deal with: His lover
is his first cousin. Im so tired of
living like this. I think I know
what to do, but would like an
objective opinion. I have no
friends to ask, so please help
me. -- Suffering in the South
Dear Suffering: Aside from
the history of marital infidel-
ity, your husband is also guilty
of abuse. Isolating
you and controlling
all the household
money are key indi-
cators. Your children
are grown. Its time
to get out of this
mess of a marriage.
Start by document-
ing his treatment of
you. Call the National
Domestic Violence
Hotline (thehotline.
org) at 1-800-799-
SAFE (1-800-799-
7233), and then talk
to a lawyer.
Dear Annie: I am a 17-year-
old girl, and I think there might
be something wrong with me.
My moods change frequently,
sometimes at the drop of a hat. I
feel lonely a lot, and little things
can drop me into a depression.
Recently, Ive felt depressed
again and was wondering what
Im supposed to do. Ive never
told my parents about this.
I once attempted to tell my
friends, but they brushed off my
pain and focused on their own
problems.
I dont know if I should tell
my parents. I dont want them
to think Im crazy or trying to
get attention. What do I do? --
Detroit, Mich.
Dear Detroit: A certain
amount of moodiness in teen-
agers can be attributed to hor-
monal changes, which are com-
mon and no cause for alarm.
However, when mood swings
lead to severe depression, it
can be a problem. Please talk to
your parents. Ask them to make
an appointment for you to see
your doctor and discuss your
concerns and rule out any seri-
ous issues. You also can talk to
your school counselor or nurse
when classes start up again.
Dear Annie: I disagree
with your response to Numb
in Nevada, whose son and
daughter-in-law cut off contact
with the grandchild. Numb
sounds like a woman with a
sense of entitlement.
Without the slightest knowl-
edge of what the writers
wrongdoings were or of the
conditions placed on recon-
ciliation, you sided with the
letter writer. Maybe the son
finally has developed some
spine and is standing up to
a mother who clearly feels her
economic clout entitles her to
dominate the daughter-in-law.
The whole incident was start-
ed because Numb ignored a
clearly expressed wish that she
not show up at the hospital. She
sounds like the mother-in-law
from hell. -- F.G.
Dear F.G.: She may be,
but she still doesnt deserve
to be cut off from her son and
grandchild. The son was the
one who invited Mom to see
the baby. Mom did not, in fact,
see the girlfriend at all or inter-
fere with the bonding process
(the original requirement), so
there was no reason for such an
extreme reaction. Grandparents
sometimes overstep and need
to accept boundaries. But the
boundaries should be fair and
should not deprive the grand-
child of a family members

FRIDAY, AUG. 5, 2011
Most partnerships that arent of
a commercial nature will produce
personal and solid benefits for you in
the year ahead. However, this may not
be necessarily true in terms of business,
where youre likely to better off
operating as independently as you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Find
that quiet corner free from all outside
interference to work out a complicated
or tedious problem thats been bothering
you lately. Unencumbered, youll find
the answer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You
should be able to use to your advantage
something beneficial that develops
regarding an endeavor in which youre
presently involved. It will elevate your
hopes and expectations.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Although it is not unusual for you, your
qualities of kindness and consideration
for others will be very much in evidence
to all with whom youre involved,
making you extremely popular.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Any logical evaluations you get
are likely to be seasoned with a bit of
sensitivity, giving you added wisdom,
not just good ideas. People wont be
able to help taking you seriously.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Most things you take on will work
out extremely well for you because
youll instinctively know how to utilize
whatever resources you have at your
disposal with great efficacy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Things should go much smoother for
you than usual and consequently get
you the type of cooperation you want
and desire from your mate, partner or
special someone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- This could be an interesting but
unexpected day that will be productive,
profitable and personally rewarding. Get
down to business and dont let frivolous
interests distract you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- If there is some kind of assignment
or personal project you would like to
reorganize and get off to a fresh start,
you wont find a better day to do so. Take
control instead of letting circumstances
control you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Finishing off the workweek with the
completion of a project on which youve
toiled hard and long will bring you great
satisfaction. Get out and celebrate, if
you wish.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Because youre endowed with
some impressively strong powers of
concentration, use them constructively
to sort out a project that youve been
finding confusing and difficult.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Although youre better known for
rolling the dice rather than for being
practical, you wont do anything that
isnt well thought out when it comes to
your commercial interests.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It
could be one of those rare days when
youll be able to do most anything
you want without too much outside
interference. Why not focus your efforts
on advancing a personal aim?

Thats SUCCESS.
WHITNEY POINT, N.Y.
(AP) A tour bus carry-
ing more than 30 passengers
flipped over on an upstate
highway Wednesday night
and landed upside-down in
a ditch, injuring several peo-
ple and trapping at least one
woman underneath it.
Four people were seriously
injured and 36 others suffered
minor injuries, a dispatcher for
the Broome County Sheriffs
Office said.
The accident, the latest in
a string of bus crashes in the
Northeast this year, occurred
on Interstate 81 in a south-
bound lane near Whitney
Point, a scenic village of
about 1,000 residents. The
bus, which appeared to have
no markings on its sides, sat
in the ditch on its roof with its
wheels in the air.
First responders worked
frantically to free a woman
who was trapped under the
bus, Whitney Point Fire
Department Chief Nicholas
Sculley said.
The woman, who was con-
scious and alert, had been par-
tially ejected through the bus
roof escape hatch, which had
come open. She was lying on
her back with her head under
the bus, in a gap between
the ground and the bus. She
was rescued with no obvious
external injuries other than a
couple of cuts to her face,
Sculley said.
A centimeter either way,
he said, and it would have
been a different outcome.
State Police Sgt. Todd
Burdick told the Binghamton
Press & Sun-Bulletin that the
bus was coming from Niagara
Falls and heading to Trenton,
N.J. He said weather and
speed too fast for conditions
caused the accident.
At the time, there was
a severe downpour, Burdick
told the paper.
Paramedics were evaluat-
ing people, many with neck
and chest injuries, at the
scene.
Tour bus full of
riders overturns
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
FULLERTON, Calif.
In the nearly two decades
since his son descended into
madness, Ron Thomas has
worried every day that the
schizophrenic 37-year-old
would die of exposure or ill-
ness on the streets. He never
imagined the end would come
in a violent confrontation with
police.
The death last month was
the end of a trajectory that
began when Kelly Thomas
was in his early 20s and start-
ed showing the first signs
of what would later be diag-
nosed as schizophrenia: he
shuttled between addresses,
preferred to sleep on the floor
and stopped showering.
In treatment, Thomas did
well and was able to hold
down a job but when he
stopped taking his pills, he
disappeared onto the streets.
He racked up an array of
charges, from public urina-
tion to assault with a deadly
weapon, and alarmed his par-
ents with his bizarre behav-
ior.
My daughter and I have
talked for years that wed
get the call that something
had happened to him, wheth-
er it was from organ failure
because hes not drinking
enough fluids or the elements
or maybe gang activity, said
his father, Ron Thomas.
Last month, he was sitting
on a bench at the Fullerton
Transportation Center, a
hub for buses and commuter
trains where homeless people
congregate, when six police
officers arrived to investigate
reports of a man burglariz-
ing cars nearby. Police said
he ran when they tried to
search his backpack and that
he resisted arrest.
The incident was cap-
tured by a bystander with a
cell phone, and bus surveil-
lance tape released Monday
showed agitated witnesses
describing how officers beat
Thomas and used a stun gun
on him repeatedly as he cried
out for his father.

OKLAHOMA CITY
When an FBI agent pleaded
several years ago for help
finding notorious skyjacker
D.B. Cooper, he wondered,
off-handedly, if someones
odd uncle might be their
guy.
Marla Cooper believes her
late uncle Lynn Doyle Cooper
was, and is thoroughly con-
vinced he hijacked a plane
in 1971 and parachuted away
with $200,000 ransom into a
rainy night over the Pacific
Northwest.
I was 8 years old, so I
cant tell you exactly what he
said, but I do remember the
words: Our money problems
are over. We just need to go
back and get the money,
she said in an interview with
The Associated Press on
Wednesday.
While federal investiga-
tors say solving the hijack-
ing is a low priority because
present-day criminals pose a
greater threat, the case holds a
prominent place in American
folklore: heres a guy who
pulled an incredible heist and
got away.
Were desperate to
believe in people who can
do things we cant, said
Geoffrey Gray, who has writ-
ten a book about the case.
The FBI isnt convinced
D.B. Cooper even survived
the jump, but has chased
more than 1,000 leads in
the nations only unsolved
hijacking. It said Monday it
was following a new lead,
but FBI agent Fred Gutt
declined Wednesday to say
whether Marla Cooper was
their source.
It is an unsolved crime
and we are obligated to
address that if new, credible
information comes to us,
Gutt said.
Marla Cooper, whose
comments were first report-
ed by ABC News, said she
recalled two of her uncles,
including an uncle she knew
as L.D., plotting some-
thing underhanded during
a visit to her grandmothers
house in Sisters, Ore., during
the Thanksgiving holiday in
1971.
I knew they werent
shooting straight with me
when they were teasing me
and telling me they were
going turkey hunting, she
told the AP.
I was a witness to them
returning from their so-called
turkey hunt early the next
morning ... when my uncle
L.D. was very injured and
heard them telling my father
that they had hijacked an air-
plane, she said.
Over the years, Marla
Cooper said she never gave
much thought to the incident
until she pieced together her
memories with comments
made first by her father,
shortly before his death in
1995, and later her mother
two years ago.
After her mothers com-
ments spurred her memory,
Marla Cooper said she looked
up the story of D.B. Cooper
and over the next few days, I
was just flooded with memo-
ries of what happened.
She said she contacted the
FBI after she was certain
that what I was remember-
ing were real memories and
not imagined. When agents
didnt immediately follow
up, she spoke with a retired
law enforcement agent who
later talked to federal inves-
tigators.
On Nov. 24, 1971, a man
who gave his name as Dan
Cooper claimed shortly after
takeoff in Portland, Ore., that
he had a bomb, leading the
flight crew of the Northwest
Orient plane to land in Seattle.
Passengers were exchanged
for parachutes and ransom
money.
The flight then took off
for Mexico with the suspect
and flight crew on board. The
hijacker parachuted from the
plane after dark as it flew
south, apparently over a rug-
ged, wooded region about 100
miles from Marla Coopers
grandmothers home.
The story has captured
the imagination of ama-
teur sleuths for decades in
part because it has all the
elements of a classic tale,
including a hero who is per-
ceived as a Robin Hood-type
character, said Gray, whose
book Skyjack: The Hunt for
D.B. Cooper comes out this
month.
Woman thinks hijacker is her uncle
By ADAM GELLER and
IAN MacDOUGALL
Associated Press
OSLO, Norway If a man walked into
a drug store along one of this citys winding
streets and bought three boxes of aspirin,
there would be no reason to take notice. But
when Anders Behring Breivik visited 20 drug
stores a day for four days and bought three
packages of aspirin at each stop then sepa-
rately ordered six tons of fertilizer, chemicals
and a semiautomatic rifle he still largely
escaped attention.
Now, Breiviks massacre of 77 people in
a meticulously planned rampage is forcing
Norwegian authorities to look at what they
could have done to prevent or identify his
pattern of purchases and other suspect behav-
ior. But figuring out how government should
respond will present a tough test pushing
up against laws protecting personal freedoms
and the likelihood that, even with more force-
ful intelligence, an isolated and thorough
plotter such as Breivik will remain exceeding
difficult to stop.
Breivik says in his 1,518-page manifesto
that he bought the aspirin to obtain acetyl-
salicylic acid, combined with other chemicals
to build the truck bomb he planted in central
Oslo. He was painstaking in arranging his
purchases creating elaborate cover stories
including renting a farm and documenting a
plan to grow sugar beets to stay within
both the law and the norms of doing busi-
ness.
The Oslo attack has already spurred anti-
terrorism officials at the European Union,
consulting with counterparts in Norway, to
look at ways to flag suspicious sales of legal
chemicals, including fertilizer, that can be
used to make explosives.
EU experts will discuss exactly how such
a new system would work when they meet at
a specially called conference in December,
said Tim Jones, principal adviser to the EUs
counterterrorism coordinator.
Meanwhile, Norwegian officials say they
plan a thorough reexamination of laws and
intelligence methods.
Can we do something differently? We
will do that with our sister agencies all over
Europe. Im certain that my colleagues want
to talk to me about what can we do if we are
in the same position, said Janne Kristiansen,
director of the PST, Norways national secu-
rity agency.
What could be done differently is hardly
a matter of consensus in this country of 4.9
million.
Domestic surveillance is an especially
touchy subject in Norway, a country that
prides itself on its transparency and dedi-
cation to protecting of civil liberties. In
the mid-1990s, revelations that Norways
intelligence agencies had been spying ille-
gally on Norwegians with suspected or stated
Communist leanings sparked public outcry,
Parliamentary hearings, a spate of resigna-
tions and ultimately an overhaul of the coun-
trys intelligence apparatus.
Norway agreed earlier this year to partici-
pate in EU counterterrorism initiative man-
dating that the government stores citizens
telecommunications for a fixed period of
time six months in Norway after trans-
mission.
Norways Justice Minister, Knut Storberget
has bemoaned surveillance limitations placed
on Norwegian counterterrorism investigators.
Investigations are frequently hampered
because of the ever-growing limitations on
what can be logged and how long that data
can be stored, he told Norwegian news
agency NTB at the time.
To the contrary, says Per Sandberg, who
chairs the Justice Committee in Norways
Parliament.
Weve gone far enough already, looking
into the private lives of Norwegians, said
Sandberg, who is a member of the right-wing
Progress Party.
The head of the commission that inves-
tigated the claims of politically motivated
espionage in the 90s, Ketil Lund, told the AP
that, like Sandberg, he believes widening the
scope of surveillance beyond the EUs param-
eters is unlikely to gain much traction.
After all, our state leaders have been
talking so much about how this terrorist act
should not lead to a more closed and less
democratic society, the retired Norwegian
Supreme Court justice said.
Rather than more windows into how
Norwegians live, Sandberg says, PST needs
more analysts and ought seek to develop still
greater counterterrorism expertise by consult-
ing countries with long histories of dealing
with terrorism, like the U.S. and the U.K.
Currently, about 460 people work at PST.
Norways government has announced that
it plans to form an independent commission
to examine a host of issues, including policing
matters, stemming from the July 22 attack.
Whatever comes out of that commission,
the trick is to make it easier to catch this
kind of person without taking away the
openness and liberties more than necessary,
Kristiansen said.
That wont be easy.

Dad in shock over death of son
WASHINGTON (AP)
In a spectacle that might
have beguiled poets, lovers
and songwriters if only they
had been around to see it,
Earth once had two moons,
astronomers now think. But
the smaller one smashed into
the other in what is being
called the big splat.
The result: Our planet was
left with a single bulked-up
and ever-so-slightly lopsided
moon.
The astronomers came up
with the scenario to explain
why the moons far side is so
much more hilly than the one
that is always facing Earth.
The theory, outlined
Wednesday in the journal
Nature, comes complete with
computer model runs show-
ing how it might have hap-
pened and an illustration that
looks like the bigger moon
getting a pie in the face.
Outside experts said the
idea makes sense, but they
arent completely sold yet.
This all supposedly hap-
pened about 4.4 billion years
ago, long before there was
any life on Earth to gaze up
and see the strange sight of
dual moons. The moons them-
selves were young, formed
about 100 million years earlier
when a giant planet smashed
into Earth. They both orbited
Earth and sort of rose in the
sky together, the smaller one
trailing a few steps behind
like a little sister in tow.
The smaller one was a
planetary lightweight. The
other was three times wider
and 25 times heavier, its grav-
ity so strong that the smaller
one just couldnt resist, even
though it was parked a good
bit away.
Theyre destined to col-
lide. Theres no way out. ...
This big splat is a low-veloc-
ity collision, said study co-
author Erik Asphaug, a plane-
tary scientist at the University
of California, Santa Cruz.
What Asphaug calls a slow
crash is relative: It happened
at more than 5,000 mph, but
thats about as slow as pos-
sible when you are talking
planetary smashups. Its slow
enough that the rocks didnt
melt.
And because the smaller
moon was more than 600
miles wide, the crash took a
while to finish even at 5,000
mph.
The rocks and crust from
the smaller moon would have
spread over and around the
bigger moon without creat-
ing a crater, as a faster crash
would have done.
And about a day later,
everything was settled and
the near and far sides of
the moon looked different,
Asphaug said.
Co-author Martin Jutzi
of the University of Bern in
Switzerland said the study
was an attempt to explain
the odd crust and mountain-
ous terrain of the moons
far side. Asphaug noticed it
looked as if something had
been added to the surface, so
the duo started running com-
puter simulations of cosmic
crashes.
Earths two moons? Its not
lunacy, but new theory
