Hurricane Irene marks 1st big US threat in years

By CURT ANDERSON The Associated Press MIAMI Emergency officials from Florida to the Carolinas were closely watching Irene today as the first hurricane to seriously threaten the U.S. in three years churned over energizing tropical waters. The storm has already cut a destructive path through the Caribbean. Forecasters say the hurricane could grow to a monstrous Category 4 storm with winds of more than 131 mph before its predicted to come ashore this weekend on the U.S. mainland. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami expected Irene to reach Category 3 strength today, said spokesman Dennis Feltgen. Officials could begin issuing watches for parts of the U.S. mainland later in the day. Because the storm is so large, Florida could begin feeling some effects from the storm late Wednesday. Current government models have the storms outer bands sweeping Florida late this week before it takes aim at the Carolinas this weekend, though forecasters caution that predictions made days in advance can be off by hundreds of miles. Georgia is also likely to be affected. The last hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. was Ike, which pounded Texas in 2008. For now, the first Atlantic hurricane of the season had maximum sustained winds

For residents in states that may be affected later this week, its critical that you take this storm seriously.
Craig Fugate, FEMA administrator early today around 100 mph (160 kph) and was centered about 55 miles (90 kilometers) northeast of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. The hurricane was moving west-northwest near 10 mph (17 kph). For residents in states that may be affected later this week, its critical that you take this storm seriously, said Craig Fugate, administrator at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Emergency officials in North Carolina were checking pre-landfall operations to make sure equipment such as trucks, forklifts, generators and computers were working, said Ernie Seneca, spokesman for the state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. Also, they were taking inventory of food and water supplies. To the south in Miami, Julio Gonzalez was heeding the warnings and headed to a hardware store to pick up what he needed to protect his home. See IRENE, page 3

Rise of middle class in Gaza fuels resentment

By DIAA HADID The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A budding middle class in the impoverished Gaza Strip is flaunting its wealth, sipping coffee at gleaming new cafes, shopping for shoes at the new tiny shopping malls, and fueling perhaps the most acrimonious grass roots resentment yet toward the ruling Hamas movement. This middle class, which has become visible at the same time as a mini-construction boom in this blockaded territory, is celebrating its weddings in opulent halls and vacationing in newly built beach bungalows. That level of consumption may be modest by Western standards, but its in startling contrast to the grinding poverty of most Gazans, who rely on U.N. food handouts to get by. Some of the well-off are Hamas loyalists. That rankles many Gaza residents because the conservative Islamic movement gained popularity by tending to the poor through charitable aid, education and medical care along with its armed struggle against Israel. Hamas has become rich at the expense of the people, fumed a 22-year-old seamstress, Nisrine, as she stitched decorative applique onto a dress. She wouldnt disclose her family name, not wanting to be seen criticizing the militant group. Gazas Hamas government denies its loyalists have gotten wealthy since the group came to power. Corruption doesnt touch us, said Hamas official Yusef Rizka. But others even those close to Hamas say the militant group must pay attention. There is a nouveau riche that has followed the rise of the government, said Alaa Araj, a former Gaza economic minister and businessman considered close to Hamas. We must sound the alarm, he said. (Resentment) is growing in Gaza. Gaza residents are also resentful because they feel they have suffered the worst effects of the Israeli and Egyptian blockade that was slapped on the territory when the militant group seized power in 2007. The blockade was a failed attempt to crush Hamas; instead it impoverished already poor Gazans, killed off trade and effectively imprisoned res-

Ohio jury deliberates case of girls 1967 killing

By JOHN SEEWER The Associated Press TOLEDO Jurors began deliberating Monday in the case of a man accused of killing an Ohio girl who disappeared on her way home from school in 1967 and was found a few weeks later with a nail in her head in a Michigan field. Investigators think Robert Bowman, now 75, snatched the girl after she got off a bus in Toledo, held her captive in his basement for days and then killed her after his wife found the naked 14-year-old tied up but alive in their fruit cellar. I know this stuff is unpleasant, but its also necessary, assistant Lucas County prosecutor Tim Braun told jurors during closing arguments. The jurors ended deliberations Monday night without reaching a verdict and resumed deliberating today. Bowman was in the construction business at the time of the crime. He later became a successful businessman before disappearing into a life on the streets in Florida and California. He faces life in prison if hes convicted of killing Eileen Adams, a high school freshman. Prosecutors said she was strangled or died from a blow to the head that cracked her skull. Bowman, whose white beard and thinning hair show his age, has sat quietly through the trial, occasionally talking with his attorneys. Detectives first tried to link Bowman to the slaying in the early 1980s, but they didnt have enough evidence to bring charges until a cold case squad reopened the investigation five years ago. New DNA evidence, they said, connected Bowman with the killing, and police arrested him near Palm Springs, Calif., in 2008. Two former analysts from the state crime lab testified during the trial that semen found on Adams thermal underwear pointed to Bowman. Bowmans former wife, a key witness for the prosecution, testified that she saw the girl

COLUMBUS (AP) Hundreds of Ohio nurses and other health care providers say they cant pay their own health insurance and other bills because of problems with a state Medicaid computer system. The Columbus Dispatch reported today that 450 mostly self-employed providers of Medicaid services have not been paid by the state for nearly five weeks. The Department of Job and Family Services is rushing them the equivalent of two weekly paychecks this week while the glitches are worked out. The state changed to a new Medicaid billing system earlier this month. All payments were suspended for two weeks during the transition. Then, the new system rejected claims submitted by some health care providers. Department spokesman Ben Johnson says most Medicaid providers have been unaffected.

alive after she disappeared just before Christmas 1967. Margaret Bowman said she thought she heard rats in the cellar, opened a wooden door and saw a girl with her arms outstretched and bound, hanging like Jesus. She said she ran upstairs and her husband confronted her, saying he now had to kill the girl. He also threatened to kill his wife and their newborn daughter if she told anyone, she said. That night, she testified, Bowman made her go with him as he dumped the body just north of Toledo, across the state line in Michigan. Defense attorney Peter Rost tried on Monday to cast doubt on Margaret Bowmans account. He said that she waited 14 years to tell her story to police and that she stayed with Bowman for 11 years and moved with him to three different states before leaving when his business failed. Even after she went to detectives in 1981, they still didnt charge Bowman, he said. They didnt believe her enough, he said. He also said prosecutors couldnt say where or when the girl died and that the DNA evidence doesnt conclusively point to Bowman, who didnt testify during his trial. His attorneys called one witness, an assistant director of a private lab that tested evidence for DNA but was not able to find any links to Bowman. The case comes down to, do you believe what Margaret Bowman testified, said assistant prosecutor Chris Anderson. He once owned a company that sold high-end handbags in Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores, but detectives found him in 1982 living in an abandoned restaurant near Miami. Inside the building, there were several dolls two with nails driven in their heads, detectives said. They talked with him about the girls death but didnt charge him.

YOUNGSTOWN (AP) Some Youngstown State University students have staged a protest at a school where financial aid money is locked up by a faculty contract dispute. The university says it has been instructed by federal officials not to distribute student aid and scholarship funds because of uncertainty over the start of fall classes. The Vindicator newspaper reports the term is scheduled to begin next week, but the faculty union has given notice that its members could be on strike if no deal is reached by Friday. About 30 students held posters during a sitin at Youngstown States administration building on Monday. Protest organizers say the goal was to show that students are paying attention and want fair negotiations and an end to what they called the financial aid freeze.

Whats next in Libya key to US politics, economy

By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press WASHINGTON The dramatic advance of Libyan rebels over the forces of longtime strongman Moammar Gadhafi offers vindication, at least for now, for President Barack Obamas decision to refrain from using U.S. troops on Libyan soil and to let NATO take the lead in degrading Gadhafis military power. But there are still hazards for the White House. How the country moves from turmoil to stability presents a new challenge for Obama and could determine how the public views not only his foreign policy, but in some measure the economy as well. Yet, the news for Obama on Monday could not have been better. The Libyan street was euphoric, Gadhafi was in hiding and the price of oil a contributor to dangerous economic lethargy was dropping. The Libyan intervention demonstrates what the international community can achieve when we stand together as one, Obama said at his vacation retreat in Marthas Vineyard, Mass. Obama was careful to emphasize that uncertainty remained and that Gadhafis regime could still pose a threat. Whats more, it will take several months even under a stabilized Libya before its oil fields are producing enough crude to start exporting again. But any extra shipments could lower the price of gasoline, which has already come down more than 40 cents a gallon from its peak in May. Back in March, Obama gambled that the way to confront a potential civilian catastrophe in Libya was to build a coalition of NATO and Arab countries to use airpower ostensibly to protect Libyan citizens from a Gadhafi crackdown. But his intent was clear all along: Gadhafi had to go. The Libyan leader was deemed a sponsor of terrorism, and his regime in 1986 was found responsible for bombing a Berlin discotheque frequented by U.S. troops. Three people died in the explosion. Two years later, a Libyan agent planted a bomb that blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The uprising in Libya follows the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of U.S. special operations troops, a major achievement for the Obama administration and one that solidified the presidents standing with the public on his handling of terrorism. But Gadhafis removal has additional implications. A sta-

AP survey: No recession but weakness will endure

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON Another recession isnt likely over the next 12 months. Neither is any meaningful improvement in the economy. Thats the picture that emerges from an Associated Press survey of leading economists who have grown more pessimistic in recent weeks. They say high unemployment and weak consumer spending will hold back the U.S. economy into 2012. Their gloominess comes at a time when Europes debt crisis threatens to infect the global financial system. It also coincides with an annual economic conference late this week in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and speculation about whether Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will unveil any new steps there to help the economy. Worries that another recession is nearing and that the European crisis will spread have led to a roughly 15 percent drop in stock prices in the past month. Economists say the Great Recession ended in June 2009. What makes a solution so difficult is that the fear gripping investors isnt just By SUSAN HAIGH Associated Press a symptom of economic distress; its also a cause of it. Sinking stock prices frighten consumers and businesses. They then spend and invest less. Investors respond to lower corporate sales by selling stocks, worsening the market declines. Each day that the stock market sinks puts another nail in the coffin of the recovery, says Beth Ann Bovino, senior economist at Standard & Poors. I had been saying it was a half-speed recovery; now, its a quarter-speed recovery, Bovino says. She is among 43 private, corporate and academic economists surveyed this month by the AP. As a group, they are more downbeat than when surveyed eight weeks ago. Among their conclusions: The likelihood of a recession within the next 12 months is 26 percent. In June, the economists had put the likelihood at 15 percent. The economy will inch ahead at an annual rate of 2 percent in the July-September quarter and 2.2 percent from October through December. Though stronger than the growth for the first half of 2011, that isnt enough to lower the unemployment rate much, if at all. And next year

bilized Libya would mean the countrys oil production could go back online, potentially reducing the cost of oil, which spiked globally in February as the flow of oil from Libya dried to a trickle. Time and again, the president has cited the uprisings in the Arab world and the increased cost of oil as headwinds that have imperiled the economic recovery. Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa. Before the uprising, it was the worlds 12th largest exporter, delivering more than 1.5 million barrels per day mostly to European markets. The news of the rebels success was affecting Brent crude, which is used to price many international oil varieties, dropping 92 cents to $107.70 per barrel in London. If oil prices continue to head south, thats a real plus for the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics. We can take all the plusses we can get at this point. So could Obama. While the presidents overall approval with the public is above 40 percent in most polls, the number that approve of his handling of the economy dropped to a new low of 26 percent in a Gallup poll last week. By contrast, 53 percent approved of his handling of terrorism.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Huntsman: 2012 rivals politically on the fringes

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON (AP) GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman says the U.S. is a center-right country politically and the public is crying out for a sensible middle ground just what he says he offers. The former Utah governor says his Republican rivals as well as President Barack Obama are on the political fringes. Huntsman says Obama is too liberal and there are Republican candidates who are too far to the right and have zero substance. Huntsman, whos lagging in national polls, saved his harshest criticism in a television interview for two of the candidates who are at the top of the 2012 pack Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. Huntsman slammed Perry for expressing skepticism about manmade global warming and for criticizing the nations central banker. I think when you find yourself at an extreme end of the Republican Party, you make yourself unelectable, Huntsman said in interview on ABCs This Week. Huntsman also ridiculed Bachmanns claims that she could bring gasoline prices below $2 if elected president. I just dont know what world that comment would come from. ... That is completely unrealistic. And, again, its talking about things that, you know, may pander to a particular group or sound good at the time, but it just simply is not founded in reality.

Ex-congressman to enter US Senate race in Conn.

HARTFORD, Conn. Former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays said Monday he plans to file paperwork in October to run as a Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Connecticut, calling himself the underdog for the partys endorsement. In a telephone interview with The Associated Press, Shays said he and his wife restored their Connecticut drivers licenses Friday and have re-registered as voters in Bridgeport, transferring their legal residence from Maryland back to Connecticut. Shays, who is currently serving as the co-chairman of the federal Commission on Wartime Contracting, said he did not want to file with the Federal Elections Commission until he finished his work on the panel and would avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. The commission has a report coming out next week and he doesnt expect to finish briefing members of Congress until September. I cant tell you how excited I am. Its going to be a wonderful experience and I hope I win this primary (in August 2012), he said. Ill do my best to get the endorsement at the convention but I think candidly, Id be the underdog. Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, the GOP candidate in the 2010 race for the U.S. Senate, told the AP earlier this month that she plans to solidify her decision about running in several weeks for the seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent. She said she was leaning strongly toward getting in the race. McMahon spent about $50 million of her own money in 2010, but lost to now-Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat. Shays was considered a centrist Republican when he served in Congress. He represented the 4th Congressional District until 2009, when he lost to Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Himes. Democrats wasted no time in criticizing Shays. After voters in Connecticut rejected Chris Shays, Chris Shays rejected the voters of Connecticut, deciding to make his home in Maryland, where he could easily cash in on his time in Congress, said Matt Canter, a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial

will barely be stronger. Weak consumer spending poses a major risk to the economy. In June, Americans cut their spending for the first time in nearly two years. And consumer spending fuels about 70 percent of the economy. The unemployment rate will end this year at 9 percent and 2012 at 8.5 percent. Those rates are slightly less than Julys 9.1 percent. But theyre more consistent with a recession than a recovery. The Feds efforts to keep interest rates at record lows may not succeed in promoting growth or easing unemployment. But its lowrate policies will likely boost stock prices. The economists do foresee economic growth, job creation, consumer spending and home prices all rising over the next year. But the gains they expect are so slight that many Americans wont notice. For months, the Fed and private economists had clung to hopes that a slowdown in spring and early summer would prove temporary. They initially blamed temporary factors especially higher oil prices and an earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan that disrupted factory production. Campaign Committee. Its doubtful that Chris Shays has learned much, if anything, about Connecticuts best interests after living in Maryland for the past few years. Hes still a rubber stamp for Republican policies that would hurt our economy and squeeze middle-class families. Shays declined to give specifics about what he offers as a candidate. Im looking forward to doing a lot of listening, a lot of learning and hopefully provide some leadership, he said. Im not seeing much of it right now. Shays said he decided to run for the Senate after Lieberman announced his retirement. As soon as Joe Lieberman said he wasnt running again I would never have thought of challenging Joe but as soon as I learned that he wasnt going to run, and just seeing the things that Im seeing in Washington, its pretty stunning, he said. Shays said he and his wife, Betsi, sold their former Bridgeport home in November 2009 but bought a new place in the spring of 2010. He said they plan to keep their waterfront Maryland home.

Musketeers beat Wapak in home opener at the new sports complex

BY MALLORY KEMPER Herald staff writer FORT-JENNINGS The first game played at the new sports complex was a dominating performance by the Lady Musketeers. Fort Jennings won the shots on-goal 13-5, while opening the 2011 girls soccer season with a 2-0 victory against Wapakoneta Redskins. The Lady Musketeers first goal came quick with 37:48 left in the opening period as junior Macy Schroeder shot the goal with an assist from Kristen Maag. Fort Jennings scored again midway through the first period but the goal was taken away because the Musketeers were off-sides. Wapakoneta seldom got the ball into the Fort Jennings end in the first half as the Lady Redskins were trailing by one at the break. The second period was still controlled by the Musketeers allowing Wapakoneta shooting just three times at the goal. Junior, Kaitlin Stechschulte put the home team up for good with 5:22 left by scoring from close to midfield as the ball went over Redskins goalie, Ashley Knippen. For the match, the Musketeers fired 13 shots ongoal, while the Redskins got off only five. Fort Jennings goalie Kelsey VonLehmden had five saves and Knippen had seven saves on the day. Junior, Maag dished out the only two assists for the

Musketeers. We need to work on a few things, our passing needs to get better, said Fort Jennings Coach Rodney Wagner. Defensively we played better but it still needs to improve. We are letting the middle of the field open. I am excited for this year, the PCL is always tough. Whoever is up that night usually wins, anything can happen though in a PCL match. The Junior Varsity game was won by Wapak with the score 2-1. The game was tied with two minutes left to go when the Redskins scored on a penalty kick. Keri Eickholt scored the one goal for the Musketeers. The Musketeers host St. Johns Blue Jays at 11 a.m. Saturday while the Redskins host Allen East at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Denny Hamlin needs his swagger back to save season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) After yet another bad day at work, Denny Hamlin received a pick-me-up via text message from one of his newest friends. Tough day my friend, began the text from Michael Jordan. Still in this thing. Stay positive!!! Hamlin was clearly impressed by the words, evidenced by him posting a picture of the text on his Twitter page a mere four minutes after the NBA Hall of Famer hit the send button. Problem is, Hamlin has enjoyed the rich-and-famous lifestyle he earned, but has lost his swagger during this sinking season. Hamlin looks nothing like the driver who nearly dethroned Jimmie Johnson last season, and if things dont turn around in the next three weeks, he may not even have a shot at competing for the NASCAR championship this season. His 35th-place finish Sunday at Michigan, where he won his only race of 2011 back in June, dropped Hamlin two spots in the Sprint Cup Series standings to 14th. If the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship began tomorrow, hed still get a berth in the 12-driver field by virtue of the new wild card system. But that could easily change if Hamlin doesnt put a string of solid finishes together beginning Saturday night at Bristol. Maybe he does pull it together and sneak into the Chase. And then what? He certainly doesnt look like a legitimate title contender, with a whopping one top-10 finish in the eight races since his Michigan victory. Even worse, he absolutely did not sound like a title contender on Sunday. Emerging from a 45-minute post-race meeting with frustrated crew chief Mike Ford, Hamlin told reporters theres a potential upside to him and his Joe Gibbs Racing team sitting out this years title race. Who knows? Maybe missing the Chase would be the best thing for us for next year, Hamlin said. We could spend 10 weeks just screwing

around and thinking of different and new ways to make our cars better and not have to points race for 10 weeks. Its highly unlikely that anyone from JGR, sponsor FedEx or manufacturer Toyota shares that sentiment with Hamlin. Chances are, they cant even believe he suggested such a thing. This isnt the same Denny Hamlin who, following his breakthrough victory at home track Richmond in 2009, developed an overnight swagger that helped him flip a switch and finally start realizing his potential. Solid since his 2005 debut, he made the Chase in 2006 as a rookie and held onto a spot in the championship field every year since. But come Chase time, he fizzled and never really contended for the title. Although he finished third in the final standings that rookie season, he didnt run at the same pace as the legitimate championship contenders and he couldnt figure out how to win more than one or two races a year. That changed, though, with that win at Richmond. His confidence now soaring, Hamlin won three of the final 11 races of 2009 and made it clear he was coming for Johnson the next season. How did he do that? He announced it, of course, over a microphone at a party he threw following the awards ceremony at which Johnson collected his fourth Cup. Dont doubt for a minute, though, that Hamlin didnt live up to his promise. He delivered despite a bevy of distractions that ranged from early-season surgery on a torn knee ligament to a downtown Charlotte nightclub that caters to the beautiful people Hamlin has been steadily adding to his phone book. Hamlin racked up eight wins and took Johnson all the way down to the wire, losing the title over the final two weeks because of one team miscalculation and one driver error. Up 15 points headed into the finale, he fell 39 points short of taking that title from Johnson. And hes not been the same

VAN WERT Jeffersons girls soccer team endured an 0-14-2 record in 2010, while Van Werts 0-13-3 in its first foray into the varsity soccer wars. Something had to give when these teams met up Monday in season-opening action at Rotary Soccer Complex in Van Wert. The Lady Wildcats drew first blood in that desire to turn things around, getting a late goal in the second half and holding off a Lady Cougar charge for a 2-1 victory. With the score knotted at 1-1 starting the second 40 minutes, the Wildcats had the better of the offensive proceedings in the second half. The Wildcats registered 10 shots on-goal for the contest seven in the second half. We dominated the second half. One of the reasons was our midfield was so strong, Jefferson coach Lindsey Drerup noted. That has been a perennial weakness for us. However, I think we have found a good combination there. We moved (senior) Elizabeth (Schosker) there from forward and she gives us a speedier attack and a more offensive mindset. She pushes it forward quickly. Plus, our defense was strong today. (Junior) Jenna (Moreo) is more of a defensive midfielder. (Senior) Hayley (Drerup) and (junior) Corinne (Metzger) ruled in the central defense. Corrine might have the best wheels Ive seen. Van Wert head man Rich Nouza knows his young team has a ways to go but saw a lot of positives. This is only our second year in varsity and we have a lot of young girls, some that have never played the game before. Were teaching a lot of fundamentals and basics, Nouza noted. We know this will be a slow process. Rome wasnt built in a day and this team wont be, either. Still,

On a corner kick from Van Werts Hannah Hulbert in the first half, Jefferson senior goalkeeper seeks to come up with the save while junior Paige Miller and senior Hayley Drerup wait to help out. The visitors from Jefferson grabbed a season-opening 2-1 victory. I liked our intensity for the entire match. The girls played hard. Every time the Red and White tried to break through to snap the tie, Cougar freshman goalkeeper Emily Bair (7 saves) and her defense came up with the goods. On the other end, the Jefferson defense really limited Van Werts opportunities at the goal, giving up a mere three shots on-goal in the second half (6 for the contest). The closest the hosts could get was at 20:51 when junior midfielder Sierra Kesler tried to pooch one over the top from just outside the top of the 18-yard box; however, senior netminder Cassidy Bevington (4 saves) came up with the stop. The Wildcats started to gain more control and it paid off at the 6:04 mark. Schosker got on a nice run down the left side and crossed the ball toward the middle. Junior midfielder Rachel Miller got control and with Bair slightly off her line, the Wildcat slid it past the keeper into the right side of the net for a 2-1 victory. The visitors had a chance to put the icing on the cake at 4:15 when senior midfielder Carla Horstman got a nice opening; however, she pooched the 20-yarder just over the crossbar. The guests had the first great chance of the match at 35:12 when senior forward Amanda Vorst launched one from 14 yards; Bair deflected the orb away. However, she could not stop the next great opening at 34:43. On a corner kick (the first of 4 for the contest) from the right side, freshman forward Kylee Haehn found Schosker in the middle. Her 9-yard header went back to the right and into the net for a 1-0 edge. The hosts replied just two minutes later. Off a corner kick one of their five in the first half (6 for the match) from the left side, with the wind blowing against the kick, sophomore Hannah Hulbert laid it out perfectly and the wind curled it into the net for a 1-all tie. The Cougars nearly went ahead at the 23:57 mark when senior forward Lindsay Lamb got a great chance form inside the box but her shot hit the left post. Cassidy was solid in the net for us. It helped that the defenders in front of her didnt give up a lot of free looks, Coach Drerup added. We have a couple of freshmen that really played well today for their first varsity matches. Kylee and Elisabeth (Miller) showed great ball skills. We didnt have (senior) Megan (Gilden) because of her fair schedule. The only trouble today was we kind of went flat toward the end of the first half and nearly gave up another goal. That was big that we held them off. The Wildcats host Ottoville 5 p.m. Thursday at Hamel Memorial Field in Fort Jennings. We were very competitive today. Last year, we really werent in most of our matches, Nouza added. I liked how we answered right away after going down a goal. We had a chance to win and that is all we can ask right now. The Cougars entertain Western Buckeye League foe Shawnee 5 p.m. Aug. 30.

Justin Verlander became the first 19-game winner in the majors, Alex Avila hit his 15th homer and the AL Centralleading Detroit Tigers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-2 on Monday night. Verlander (19-5) won his seventh consecutive start, giving up one run and three hits in seven innings. The 19 wins match his career high, set in 2009. The Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the second when Avila hit a two-run shot off Jeff Niemann (8-5). The All-Star catcher is 25 for 59 (.424) with five homers and 14 RBIs this month. Niemann, who was 7-0 in his 10 previous start, allowed four runs and six hits over 7 1-3 innings. Tampa Bay center fielder B.J.

CLEVELAND Franklin Gutierrez lifted a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and the Mariners scored the go-ahead run without getting a hit to beat the Indians. The Indians, swept by AL Central-leading Detroit over the weekend, lost their fourth in a row. Cleveland closer Chris Perez (2-6) hit both Miguel Olivo and Brendan Ryan with pitches to start the ninth. Perez then compounded his problems by dropping a sacrifice bunt by Trayvon Robinson, loading the bases with no outs. Ichiro Suzuki, who already had three hits, struck out. But Gutierrez, formerly of the Indians, hit a fly to medium center field and Olivo barely beat Ezequiel Carreras onehop throw home. Orioles 4, Twins 1 MINNEAPOLIS J.J.

Raiders use 3rd-round pick for Pryor

By JOSH DUBOW The Associated Press NAPA, Calif. The Oakland Raiders used a thirdround pick Monday in the NFLs supplemental draft to select former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. The Raiders and the league announced that Oakland used the 18th selection of the round for Pryor. Oakland forfeits its third-round selection in the 2012 draft. Pryors agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client was excited about going in the third round after waiting until last Thursday to find out hed even be eligible for the supplemental draft and not working out for teams until Saturday. Were tickled and thrilled that Terrelle went in the third round and to the Raiders, Rosenhaus said. The third round is quite an accomplishment for a young man who had his pro day 48 hours ago and didnt know he would be in the draft until Thursday morning and wasnt able to meet with any decision makers. Pryor immediately headed to the Bay Area after being drafted and Rosenhaus said he hoped to finalize a contract as soon as possible to get Pryor on the practice field. Rosenhaus has already

Cribbs, Moore still out at Browns camp

BEREA (AP) Josh Cribbs likes watching new Cleveland Browns coach Pat Shurmurs aggressive offense. Of course, the wide receiver wishes he was participating in it instead of rehabbing injuries. Cribbs sat out Monday with a hamstring injury sustained late in practice on Sunday. Earlier in camp, he missed a few days with a leg strain. Im feeling pretty good and Ill be out on the field whenever they say I can do it, Cribbs said. All injuries are frustrating, but the most important thing for me is to be ready for the season. The star kick returner has been used more at wide receiver in camp and wants to be part of a West Coast offense that Shurmur intends to use to upgrade scoring. Cleveland was last in the NFL with 271 points a year ago. Coach is going to give us chances, Cribbs said. Hes opening up the playbook. I like that. Cribbs said second-year quarterback Colt McCoy is running the offense well. McCoy threw three touchdown passes to give Cleveland an early lead Friday night in a game the Browns eventually lost to Detroit 30-28. Colt surprises me every day, Cribbs said. Hes smart and getting the playbook down pat. Injuries preventing others from learning the system make it more of a challenge for the second-year quarterback. Tight end Evan Moore, who had two TD catches against Detroit, sat out with a concussion sustained later in the game against the Lions. Tackle Eric Steinbach and running back Brandon Jackson were not even on the field. Steinbach has been out with back tightness and Jackson is rehabbing a toe injury. The defensive backfield is nicked up, too. Brett Johnson, claimed on waivers from Seattle one week ago, went out early in practice with a bruised thigh. Usama Young, T.J. Ward and Buster Skrine were among a group of players on exercise bicycles Monday rather than in helmet and pads. Shurmur said veteran Mike Adams and rookie James Dockery will be getting an opportunity Thursday at Philadelphia in the Browns third exhibition game. Were going to rely on Adams either as a starter or backup this season, Shurmur said. With the injuries at safety, he has benefited. Dockery will get a lot of reps. Philly is very explosive (on offense) and it will be a challenge for our defense. Shurmur said he is less

handed a five-game suspension by Commissioner Roger Goodell the same number of games he would have sat out had he returned to Ohio State. Pryor has said he will not appeal the suspension. Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes after an investigation into the teams memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job. His selection by the Raiders hardly is surprising. Oakland often makes bold moves in the draft because owner Al Davis covets size and speed. Pryor ran a 4.36 in the 40 during his workout for 17 NFL teams Saturday. At 6-foot-5 and 232 pounds, he is similar in height to JaMarcus Russell, the LSU quarterback chosen No. 1 overall by the Raiders in the 2007 draft. But Pryor is much more mobile. As a junior, Pryor had

his best season statistically, throwing for 2,772 yards and 27 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He also ran for 754 yards and four scores while helping the Buckeyes win the Sugar Bowl. Oaklands starting quarterback is Jason Campbell, now in his second season with the Raiders after being acquired from Washington, where he spent five seasons. Campbell is in the last year of his contract, as are backups Kyle Boller and Trent Edwards. The Raiders considered drafting a quarterback to groom for the future in April but did not find the right fit. Now they have Pryor to fill that role. Oakland is now without picks in the second, third and fourth rounds next year. The Raiders traded the 2012 second-round pick along with a 2011 seventh-round selection for third- and fourthround picks this past draft to take offensive lineman Joe Barksdale and running back Taiwan Jones. They sent their fourth-round pick a year ago to the Redskins for Campbell. Oakland could recoup some picks as compensation for losing Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller and Robert Gallery as free agents. No other players were chosen.

Shalala: 15 Miami athletes being investigated

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) The probe into Miami athletics is growing, with the university looking into the eligibility of 15 athletes who may have accepted improper benefits from a rogue booster. Miami President Donna Shalala did not reveal any names of the players under investigation as she released a video statement Monday. The booster, convicted Ponzi scheme architect Nevin Shapiro, told Yahoo Sports for an article published last week that 12 current football players and one mens basketball player got money, gifts and other items from him. We cannot let the actions of some define the many, Shalala said. The football players who were named by Shapiro in interviews with Yahoo Sports are Jacory Harris, Vaughn Telemaque, Ray Ray Armstrong, Travis Benjamin, Aldarius Johnson, Marcus Forston, Olivier Vernon, Marcus Robinson, Adewale Ojomo, Dyron Dye, JoJo Nicholas and Sean Spence. Shapiro also alleged to Yahoo Sports that he paid $10,000 to ensure that basketball player DeQuan Jones signed with the Hurricanes. Most, if not all, the current football players Shapiro named would likely be major contributors if they get to take the field. Citing the ongoing investigation, school officials would not say Monday if any of those players have been cleared to play, or who the additional names linked to the investigation are. The Miami athletic compliance staff, in a joint effort with the NCAA, is now beginning the process of reviewing the eligibility of 15 current student-athletes, Shalala said. With the season fast approaching I know our players, coaches and fans are eager to know the results. The process, however, must be deliberate and thorough to ensure its integrity. The university wants to decide the status of the football players by the end of

interested in rushing players back to play against the Eagles than having a full, healthy squad for the season opener Sept. 11 against Cincinnati. Running back Montario Hardesty is expected to face the Eagles in his first game since tearing a knee ligament in the final exhibition game of 2010. Notes: WR Mohamed Massaquoi said he expects to start running this week. He spent the first three weeks of camp with his left foot in a walking boot. ... Nearly 200 youngsters from local nonprofit youth organizations were invited to watch practice from a reserved seating area. They got autographs and Cribbs made it a point to revisit them later. ... GM Tom Heckert, Shurmur, four assistant coaches and several other members of the front office formerly were with the Eagles. LB Chris Gocong and DB Sheldon Brown lead a contingent of ex-Eagles on the Cleveland squad.

MLB

this week. Football coach Al Golden is planning to release a depth chart in the coming days for the Sept. 5 opener at Maryland, a process that would become very difficult if players like Harris, Spence, Forston, Telemaque, Armstrong and Benjamin some of the teams on-field leaders are ineligible. We will move forward, Golden said Saturday. If Miami uses any player later deemed ineligible by the NCAA, then the Hurricanes run the risk of having to retroactively vacate games. If the Hurricanes sit the players implicated in the scandal, then their chances of winning now figure to take a serious hit.

(Continued from Page 6) Nationals 4, Diamondbacks 1 WASHINGTON Jayson Werth hit a three-run homer, Ross Detwiler took a four-hitter into the seventh inning and the Nationals beat Arizona to extend the Diamondbacks losing streak to a season-high six games. Henry Blanco homered for the Diamondbacks, who have scored only seven runs in their last six games. Mired in its longest skid since a sevengame run in July 2010, Arizona now leads second-place San Francisco by just one game in the NL West. Werth has had few shining moments this season after signing a $126 million, sevenyear deal in December. But he carried the Nationals in this one, scoring a second-inning run before delivering the decisive blow in the fourth against Joe Saunders (8-11). Brewers 8, Pirates 1, 1st game Pirates 9, Brewers 2, 2nd game PITTSBURGH Ryan

Doumit homered and drove in two runs as the Pirates ended more than a year of futility against the Brewers with a win in the second game of a doubleheader. The Brewers took the opener for their 13th straight victory over Pittsburgh, but the Pirates pounded Milwaukee ace Zack Greinke in the second game. Greinke (12-5) gave up seven runs and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings in losing for the first time in a month. The defeat was just the fourth in the last 23 games for the NL Centralleading Brewers. Braves 3, Cubs 0 CHICAGO Jair Jurrjens pitched in and out of trouble for 6 1-3 innings, Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman homered and the Braves beat the Cubs for their fifth straight win. Jurrjens (13-5) allowed eight hits and walked five. The Cubs stranded 11 runners in the first six innings. Ugglas two shots gave him 30 home runs for the fifth straight season. No other second baseman in major league history has reached 30 homers

more than three times overall. Jonny Venters walked the first two batters in the ninth, but got the last three outs for his fifth save. The Cubs benched Starlin Castro, a day after television cameras showed the 21-yearold shortstop not paying attention as a pitch was thrown during Sunday nights loss to St. Louis. Dodgers 2, Cardinals 1 ST. LOUIS Aaron Miles RBI triple keyed a two-run, ninth inning rally and the Dodgers came from behind to beat the Cardinals. Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter, who has never lost to Los Angeles, dominated the Dodgers for eight innings, shutting them out on five hits. Carpenter took a 1-0 lead into the ninth, but then hit Juan Rivera to start the frame. Manager Tony La Russa brought in Arthur Rhodes, who struck out Andre Ethier. La Russa then went back to his bullpen, but that move backfired when Miles tripled to right center off Fernando Salas (5-5) to tie the game at 1-1.

La Russa then went to Jason Motte, who got Rod Barajas to ground sharply to short. But shortstop Rafael Furcal bobbled the ball briefly allowing Miles to score the goahead run. Rockies 9, Astros 5 DENVER Jhoulys Chacin threw seven solid innings and had a two-run double while Carlos Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs to help the Rockies beat the Astros. All nine starters reached base for Colorado, which won its third straight. Its just the second time since June 18 the Rockies have won three in a row. Brian Bogusevic had three hits, including a homer, Matt Downs also homered for the Astros. It was the first time Colorado beat Houston right-hander Brett Myers. Myers (3-13) came into Monday 7-0 with a 3.47 ERA in eight appearances against the Rockies, seven of those as a starter. Chacin (10-10) rebounded from his shortest outing of the season with a strong effort.

Arm pain may be result of pinched neck nerve

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have had a burning sensation in the upper part of my left arm for about five or six years. It came and went for a while, and sometimes months passed without it happening. Recently the sensation has worsened, and I experience it daily. I have noticed that the burning is similar to that of heartburn but hotter (I have had a lot of heartburn lately). The arm burning lasts only a second or two and feels as if someone has lit a match in my arm and quickly blown it out. I have also started to have a slight tingling in my left hand and fingers. I have been to two doctors for it, but they are at a loss as to what is causing it. Neither one referred me to a specialist. I have not had any injuries to my arm, shoulder or hand. I do have some arthritis pain in my hand and fingers. Other than vitamins, the only medicine I take is Xalatan for glaucoma. I had the burning long before I found out I had glaucoma. Aside from occasional hot flashes and the glaucoma, I am pretty healthy. I am a 51-year-old black female, premenopausal, 121 pounds and 5 feet 6 inches. Can you please help? DEAR READER: My first thought on reading your letter is nerve impingement, likely from your spine. The nerves of the spinal cord that run through the vertebrae of your neck can often lead to arm tingling, burning and weakness. It can vary from mild to severe, and the sensations may come and go or become chronic. Typically as the impingement worsens, the pain or weakness worsens, and each episode lasts longer or becomes persistent. Over time, if left untreated, permanent damage may result. Another possibility is your Xalatan. Chest pain, angina, and muscle/joint and back pain are known side effects. Chest pain can often be confused with heartburn and can radiate to the arm. But I think this is unlikely in your case. Heart problems can also result in chest, arm and hand pain. This commonly occurs on the left side and can resemble a muscle ache or heartburn. If you have a strong family or personal history of heart trouble, particularly if combined with hypertension and/or high cholesterol, this may be a possibility. The most likely cause is coming from your neck or back. You already have arthritis in your hands, so you may also have it in your spine as

well. Arthritis, aging, and/or degenerative changes to the spine can easily explain your symptoms. Return to your physician to discuss this possibility and request further testing, such as an X-ray, CT scan or MRI. Blood work should also be ordered if you havent had any recently. Depending on the results of your blood work and imaging tests, seeing a neurologist (nerve and brain specialist), orthopedist (bone and joint specialist) or cardiologist (heart specialist) may be beneficial to determine the cause of your burning arm and to provide appropriate treatment.

Make quick and easy pizza dough and breadsticks

Homemade pizza is frugal and delicious. You can add your leftover tidbits of meat and vegetables for toppings, too. Microwaving leftover pizza can sometimes cause it to get rubbery. One reader, Karen from Iowa, shares: Instead of microwaving leftover pizza, melt a little butter in a frying pan. Place the pizza in the pan on medium heat with the lid on tightly. The steam will melt the cheese, and the butter will make the crust crispy instead of soggy. Think making pizza dough is too time-consuming? The following tip shares a dough recipe and theres no rising required. This makes for a fantastic pizza dough that doesnt burn on the bottom, either. No-rise pizza dough: 1 egg 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons shortening 1 cup milk 1 cup water 2 packages dry yeast 4 1/2 to 5 cups flour

Beat egg, sugar and salt well. Heat shortening, milk and water to lukewarm, then add yeast. Combine milk mixture with sugar mixture. Add flour until mixture is no longer sticky. Put on greased pizza pans. You have enough dough for two pizzas. -Tisha, Canada Keep a few snack or appetizer recipes on hand. You can whip something together in no time rather than ordering takeout. For example, you might want pizza or donuts. Try making cinnamon tortilla strips. Cut tortillas into strips (a pizza cutter works well) and spread a small amount of butter on top, or spray with cooking oil. Then sprinkle the tortillas with cinnamon and sugar and put them in a 350-degree oven for five minutes. You can also fry a few plain tortilla strips in oil until theyre light goldenbrown. (Fry a few at a time.) Drain the strips briefly on paper towels, then drag each of them through a sugar-and-cinnamon mixture. Quick and easy stuffed bread sticks: I was sitting around and wanted something to tame this craving for pizza.

Frugal Living
-- 10 cheese sticks. (You could save a little by buying a block of mozzarella and then cutting it into finger sticks.) -- Parchment paper, which is so easy to work with. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F. I placed a piece of parchment paper the size of my pan on the counter and sprayed it with Pam. I then rolled out my square pizza crust. I placed the cheese sticks on the dough, spaced evenly apart, and cut the dough into individual strips. I rolled the cheese up in the dough, then cut and pinched the ends so as to make sure that no cheese was peeking out. I then just re-spaced them about an inch apart on the parchment paper and put them on a cookie sheet. I sprayed the dough with Pam. I used a bit of garlic salt and sprinkled them lightly with Parmesan cheese. I put them in the preheated oven and by the time they were brown, they were done. I opened a can of marinara for dip, but you can use spaghetti sauce instead. -Louise, Georgia

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2011 It behooves you to put more energy, dedication and imagination into satisfying your personal ambitions during the next solar cycle. All the little extras you put into your efforts will pay off by producing highly successful results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Because you cant change a sensitive friend into someone a bit tougher, remember to be tactful when around him or her. Itll be worth not having to cope with wounded feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you try to take all of the credit for something that you and several others played a role in accomplishing, dont expect your cohorts to have anything favorable to say about you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Just remember that your friends have a right to express their own opinions, even if their ideas are contrary to yours. You may not like it, but its their prerogative to think for themselves. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be both thoughtful and cautious in your financial dealings. Unless you take the time to think before you leap, you could make mistakes that would produce lingering, negative results. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do your best not to get tied down working with someone who doesnt understand the value of teamwork. The wrong partner could gum up the works for both of you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Duck! All those distasteful chores youve been shoving under the rug might get thrown at you. Organize your affairs so that you can do the most important jobs first. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Avoid groups or cliques that contain certain types who think they are better than everybody else. There are plenty of people out there wholl do their best to make you smile instead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Allowing outsiders to get involved in your family affairs is asking for trouble. Restrict your communications to members of the clan only. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is a good chance you could let go and level a few choice words on someone who has been bugging you for far too long. The relief will be welcome, but the hurt may still linger awhile. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The best way to remain cautious with your financial affairs is not to go window- shopping. However, if you must head to market, stick to stores that carry only necessities. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you and your special someone are not satisfied with the way the relationship is going, spend some time together sorting things out. Be willing to do your share and more, if necessary. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If coworkers are making your day more difficult than need be, you should either speak up or be prepared to cover up their ineptness. Regardless of which you choose, be diplomatic about it.

King memorial has somber opening

By BEN NUCKOLS Associated Press WASHINGTON Some were locals whove watched for years as the memorial to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. took shape on the National Mall. Some were tourists who happened to be in Washington the day it opened. All felt honored to be a part of history as they gazed at a towering granite sculpture of the civil rights leader. Hundreds of people slowly filed through the entrance to the 4-acre memorial site on a warm, sunny Monday morning in the nations capital. Before reaching the sculpture, they passed through two pieces of granite carved to resemble the sides of a mountain. About 50 feet ahead stands the 30-foot-tall sculpture by Chinese artist Lei Yixin. King appears to emerge from a stone extracted from the mountain, facing southeast across the Tidal Basin to the Jefferson Memorial. The design is inspired by a line from Kings famous I Have a Dream speech, delivered during the March on Washington in 1963: Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. While visitors snapped photos, shot videos and spoke with dozens of reporters, the mood was quiet and respectful. Im ecstatic, said Tehran Wadley, 35, of Washington. It brings tears to my eyes, just to be able to see this. King is the first person of color to have a memorial on the Mall. It is surrounded by memorials to presidents Thomas Jefferson to the southeast, Abraham Lincoln to the northwest, Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the south. I think its appropriate, said Frank Myers, 49, a Teamsters union officer from King George, Va. His contribution was just as great as any of the presidents. This countrys come a long way as a result of him and people like him. Mondays opening had little fanfare, but that will change during a week of events leading up to Sundays dedication, which falls on the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington. President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at the ceremony. The memorial cost $120 million, and Harry E. Johnson, president of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation, said the group is $5 million short of that goal. The sheer size of the King sculpture sets it apart from the nearby statues of Jefferson and Lincoln, which are both about 20 feet tall. It stands at the midpoint of a 450-foot-long granite wall inscribed with 14 quotations from Kings speeches and writings. Among them: We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. The sculpture depicts King with a stern, enigmatic gaze, wearing a jacket and tie, his arms folded and clutching papers in his left hand. Lei, the sculptor, said through his son, who translated from Mandarin, that you can see the hope in Kings face. But his serious demeanor, Lei said, also indicates that hes thinking. Lei said he wanted the memorial to be a visual representation of the ideals in Kings I Have a Dream speech. His dream is very universal. Its a dream of equality, Lei said through his son. He went to jail. He had been beaten, and he sacrificed his life for his dream. And now his dream comes true. King was assassinated in 1968 while supporting black sanitation workers who had gone on strike in Memphis, Tenn. The memorial site is surrounded by 182

Strauss-Kahn charges may drop

Jersey Girls who emerged after 9/11 still activists

By GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 turned them into widows and the four Jersey Girls, as they became known, turned themselves into activists. A decade after the attacks, at least two of them are still trying to make change in public policy. In doing so, theyve broadened their focus from post-attack truth-finding, the cause that brought them together nearly 10 years ago. Lorie Van Auken is now a beekeeper who is pressing the federal Environmental Protection Agency to ban a pesticide that some blame for Colony Collapse Disorder, which has been killing honeybees. Kristen Breitweiser blogs on politics and national security. Though those are issues tied to 9/11, she doesnt write just about the attacks. I think a lot of times when people suffer tragedy or go through something in their own life, they feel compelled to turn it into something better, Breitweiser said. Many of the spouses, parents and children of those killed in the terrorist attacks did that. They set up foundations to honor the best traits of their lost loved ones. They lobbied for tax breaks for the victims, fair deals from the Victims Compensation Fund and a burial site at ground zero. The four stay-at-home moms who lived relatively carefree lives in suburban Monmouth County became some of the most visible faces of the families of the dead and their main cause at the time: pushing the federal government to study the attacks whether there was intelligence that could have prevented them, and whether the response once they began was adequate. They were subjects of scores of articles, multiple By DINESH RAMDE Associated Press

Yoshino cherry trees that will blossom pink and white in the spring. Its intended to be peaceful, giving visitors an opportunity to reflect on Kings words and legacy. Geraldine Newton, 59, a tourist from Surrey, England, took that opportunity Monday, sitting on a bench and reading the inscriptions. She said the inclusion of the King memorial on the Mall was a significant milestone. Hats off to America. Its facing up to periods in its past that were very challenging, Newton said. Hes a quintessential American hero. Pamela M. Cross, 53, a cybersecurity professional from Washington, said her father, a postal worker, attended the March on Washington. She said Kings message continues to resonate. The way the country is right now, its good to remember his principles, Cross said. We are in need of jobs, were in need of equality, were in need of an economic vision thats inclusive. Myers was 1 during the march, but his late father and his aunts and uncles attended. Asked how his father would react if he could see the memorial, he said: I think hed be in tears.

Letterman back after death threat

NEW YORK Early in the sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, prosecutors held out his accuser as its strongest point. Her account was compelling and unwavering, complete with very powerful details and corroborated by a medical exam, they said. When they moved Monday to drop the biggest case on their docket, the woman was portrayed as its fatal weakness. She has not been truthful on matters great and small and has an ability to present fiction as fact with complete conviction, and medical and DNA evidence is simply inconclusive as proof of a forced sexual encounter, they wrote. Our grave concerns about (her) reliability make it impossible to resolve the question of what exactly happened between the hotel maid and the former International Monetary Fund leader, they wrote. With that, the Manhattan District Attorneys office asked a judge to put an end to a case that created a cross-continental sensation. A formal dismissal is expected at Strauss-Kahns court date today, though the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, is asking the judge to boot the DAs office off the case and put it on hold until a special prosecutor can be appointed. Still, if the criminal case is dismissed, efforts to shed light on what transpired in Strauss-Kahns luxury suite May 14 are bound to continue in civil court, where Diallo has sued StraussKahn. Before his arrest, Strauss-Kahn was seen as the Socialists leading contender for next years French presidential elections. Frances Socialists on today lauded the move to drop the attempted rape case, but few expect Strauss-Kahn to jump back into politics very soon. French Socialist Party chief Martine Aubry called it an immense relief that the prosecutors are abandoning the case. We were all waiting for this ... for him to finally be able to get out of this nightmare, she said on France-Info radio. His Socialist Party has scrambled for a new candidate who could unseat President Nicolas Sarkozy in April-May elections. Some French voters appeared eager today to move forward with the presidential campaign and let Strauss-Kahn recover from the last few months in peace. Maybe hell have a political future as a minister or something like that if the Socialists win but not as president, not as a candidate in the next elections, said banker Victor Diosi in Paris. NEW YORK (AP) Even a fatwa is grist for comedy when youre David Letterman. Back from two weeks vacation and making his first TV appearance since a threat against his life was posted on a jihadist website, the Late Show host played it all for laughs during Mondays monologue. Letterman began by thanking his studio audience for being there. Tonight, he said, you people are more, to me, honestly, than an audience youre more like a human shield. Then he apologized for having been tardy coming out onstage. Backstage, I was talking to the guy from CBS, he explained. We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for jihad. Until Letterman delivered his jokes, his situation seemed no laughing matter. Last week, a frequent contributor to a jihadist website posted the threat against Letterman. He urged Muslim followers to cut the tongue of the late-night host because of a joke and gesture the comic had made about al-Qaida leaders on a show that aired in June. A guy, a radical extremist threatened to cut my tongue out, Letterman marveled during Mondays monologue. Then, referring to his disastrous turn hosting the Oscars in 1995, he added: I wish I had a nickel for every time a guy has threatened (that). I think the first time was during the Academy Awards. And so now, he continued, State Department authorities are looking into this. But they could save themselves some trouble, he suggested: Everybody knows its (Jay) Leno. Along with his monologue, Letterman mined the situation for his Top Ten List: Top Ten Thoughts That Went Through My Mind After Hearing about the Threat. Among them: Why is the staff in such a good mood? How can someone be so angry at a time when Kim Kardashian is so happy? Some people get Emmy nominations; some people get death threats. One joke that may have helped spark the fatwa was one of several lampooning al-Qaida in Lettermans June 8 monologue. This was just days after the death of al-Qaida leader Ilyas Kashmiri, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan. Though Kashmiri was rumored to be a longshot choice to succeed Osama bin Laden, he wouldnt have worked out even had he lived, Letterman cracked, pointing to Kashmiris rocky start as a front-runner: He botched up the story of Paul Revere. The real butt of that joke: Sarah Palin, potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate, who in early June on her One Nation bus tour had claimed that Paul Reveres famous ride was intended to warn British soldiers as well as his fellow colonists. The website contributor, who identified himself as Umar alBasrawi, railed in his post that Letterman had referred to both bin Laden and Kashmiri and said that Letterman, in discussing Kashmiris death, had put his hand on his neck and demonstrated the way of slaughter.

Web older than college freshmen

Wing walker tried deadly stunt

By COREY WILLIAMS Associated Press

books including a memoir Breitweiser published in 2006 and a documentary film, 9/11: Press for Truth. The fame and the civic engagement, born of tragedy, came fast. I had a very complacent life: we voted, we paid taxes, we volunteered. That was it, Breitweiser said. That was the extent of our contribution. Two of the Jersey Girls, Patty Casazza and Mindy Kleinberg, did not respond to requests for interviews for this article and have not granted any interviews for the last few years. All four had husbands working in the twin towers of the World Trade Center. After 9/11, they united over their mounting frustration that the whole story wasnt being told. For more than a year, they parked their children with family and drove to Washington in Breitweisers SUV dubbed the widowmobile. Armed with thick binders of documents, they met with members of Congress and held rallies asking for a full government inquiry. They gave interviews by the score. They recognized that journalists were hungry for stories about the real people affected by the attacks. They could offer that, but they also talked about their policy agenda. Finally, in November 2002 14 months after their husbands and nearly 3,000 other people were killed President George W. Bush signed the law to create the commission. One of their champions in Congress was U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, a Republican from New Jersey. He said they did their research and came prepared in small ways. They knew he had a sweet tooth and were sure to bring him candy when they stopped by. The Jersey Girls were, in my opinion, the reason the commission came into being, Smith said.

Strike grinds Pakistan city to halt

By ASHRAF KHAN Associated Press

MILWAUKEE Mention Amazon to the incoming class of college freshmen and they are more likely to think of shopping than the South American river. PC doesnt stand for political correctness and breaking up on Facebook is more common than any more personal encounter. These are among the 75 references on this years Beloit College Mindset List, a compilation intended to remind teachers that college freshmen born mostly in 1993 see the world in a much different way: They fancied pogs and Tickle Me Elmo toys as children, watched televisions that never had dials and their lives have always been like a box of chocolates. Once upon a time, relatives of the current generation swore never to trust anyone over the age of 30. This group could argue: Never trust anyone older than the Net. The colleges compilation, released Tuesday, is assembled each year by two officials at the private school in southeastern Wisconsin. It also has evolved into a national phenomenon, a cultural touchstone that entertains even as it makes people wonder where the years have gone. Remember when the initials LBJ referred to President Lyndon B. Johnson? Today, according to the list, they make teenagers think of NBA star LeBron James. And speaking of NBA legends, these kids didnt want to be like Mike. They fawned over Shaq and Kobe. In their lifetimes, Major League Baseball has always had three divisions plus wild-card playoff teams, and every state has always observed Martin Luther King Day. The yadda, yadda, yadda generation thats been quoting Seinfeld since they were old enough to talk also has always seen women serve as U.S. Supreme Court justices and command U.S. Navy ships. Then theres OJ Simpson. These students were still in diapers when the former NFL star began searching for the killers of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

KARACHI, Pakistan Pakistans largest city ground to a halt today, with most residents staying off the streets after a political party called a strike to protest the deaths of at least 96 people killed in Karachi in the past week. Businesses, schools and government offices were closed, while public buses and taxis stayed off the road. The strike, called by the citys most powerful political party, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, came as police found the bodies of 10 more people. Karachi, a teeming southern city of some 18 million people, has a long history of political, ethnic and sectarian violence, and much of the violence is blamed on gangs allegedly linked to the main political parties, including the Muttahida Qaumi Movement. The government has been unable to stop the fighting, as it also grapples with a faltering economy and a raging Islamist insurgency. The unrest illustrates the precarious state of Pakistans stability at a time when the U.S. wants the nuclear-armed country to step up its fight against Taliban militants who stage crossborder attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan. One of the Muttahida Qaumi Movements top leaders, Farooq Sattar, claimed that many of the people killed recently were members of the partys base: Urdu-speaking descendants of people who came to Karachi from India soon after the birth of Pakistan in 1947. We condemn the killing of all innocent citizens, but the present wave of killing is part of a genocide of Urdu-speaking people, Sattar said during a press conference on Monday. The bodies of 10 more people were found overnight, some of them stuffed in bloody sacks, said city police chief Saud Mirza.

DETROIT A Michigan wing walker who fell to his death as he tried to grab a helicopters skid from his perch atop a small plane had successfully performed the same maneuver many times before, a former colleague said Monday. Todd Green, the son of a prominent aerial stuntman and a skilled one himself, was one of only two people to ever do the stunt, said Kyle Franklin, a stunt pilot and former wing walker who once worked with him. He was very good at it. Ive seen him do that many, many times, Franklin said. He was always on spot and did a very good job with everything he did. Green, who died Sunday after falling 200 feet from the plane during an annual air show at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, successfully completed the stunt the day before, said Technical Sgt. Dan Heaton, a base spokesman. His death came a day after two pilots died in separate crashes at air shows in Missouri and England. Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board investigators were at the base about 20 miles northeast of Detroit on Monday looking into Greens fall, Heaton said. The FAA said it could not release any details yet about Greens death. The air show started Friday and drew about 75,000 spectators Sunday. Scores saw Green fall and land about 1,500 from the crowd, Heaton said. Green, 48, of Ann Arbor, was the son of prominent aerial stuntman Eddie Green, who was inducted into the International Council of Air Shows Foundation Hall of Fame in 2006. Eddie Green was known for doing a car-to-plane transfer, according to the Hall of Fames website. Todd Green also was an experienced stuntman, said Franklin, who last performed with him in 2009. He was an excellent stuntman and had been around for years, Franklin said. I grew up kind of watching him wing walk from time to time. He enjoyed it very much. He did get a thrill out of it. Most of us in this business arent necessarily adrenaline junkies. We do it because we love performing, being in front of a crowd and entertaining them. Silver Wings Wingwalking Team member Margaret Stivers called Green a friend and professional colleague. His father is a legend and in the air show hall of fame, so Todd can be considered air show royalty, Stivers wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Yet, Todd was a humble person. I respected him and his difficult stunt work. The air show world is small and even closer is the stunt-wing walker family. For me, this is like a hit in the gut.
