HERALD
Delphos, Ohio well. Mezger noted that Delphos is on track to raise more than a million dollars with next years Relay. Next year is going to be really exciting, she said. Delphos will reach the million dollar mark. We have one of the more successful Relays in the nation and we will reach a milestone next year. Twenty-two teams took to the track this year with various fundraisers and activities to boost team totals. Metzger would like to see more participation. She and her committee will work toward trying different awareness campaigns and techniques to stir up more interest. We had more than 60 teams the first and second years and now we are down, Metzger said. I know everyone cant participate all the time but we need to rejuvenate. I dont think there is anyone who comes out here that is not moved. You come out here once, you will be back. Metzger said there are three possible new committee members and the group is always looking for fresh faces and new ideas. We still need to get the word out about Relay, Metzger said. Everyone knows about cancer but I dont think everyone knows about Relay.

I have been on our Relay team for years but this was my first year as chair, Metzger said. The Relay exceeded all my expectations. The event was great. We have a lot of people out here for the opening ceremonies, we have 70 or so survivors walk with their caregivers, the weather was great. It all went really

To close the 2012 Relay, balloons are released with names of loved ones who have been claimed by cancer.

33 Syrian soldiers defect overnight to Turkey as tensions soar

By SUZAN FRASER and BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press ANKARA, Turkey Dozens of Syrian soldiers defected overnight to Turkey, crossing the border with their families as tensions between the two countries soared three days after Syrian forces shot down a Turkish military plane. The state-run Anadolu news agency said 33 soldiers defected, including a general and two colonels. But a Turkish government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, said the group included three colonels and there was no general. The two accounts could not immediately be reconciled. Thousands of soldiers have abandoned the Syrian regime, but most are lowlevel conscripts. The rebel Free Syrian Army which is based in Turkey is made up largely of defectors. Anadolu said a total of 224 people crossed into Turkey overnight, the latest blow to Syrian President Bashar Assads regime. Activists say more than 14,000 people have been killed since the uprising began in March 2011, and the death toll mounts every day. There are widespread fears that the conflict could spark regional unrest and those fears mounted Friday when Syrian forces shot a Turkish military plane out of the sky. Syria insists that the Turkish plane violated its air space. But Turkey disagrees, saying that though the plane had unintentionally strayed into Syrias air space, it was inside international airspace when it was brought down.

Relayers take to the track for the final lap on Saturday.

In recent days, both sides appeared to be trying to calm tensions over the incident. Syrias Foreign Ministry spokesman said today his country has no hostility toward Turkey. We behaved in a defensive and sovereign way, Jihad Makdissi said in the Syrian capital. He said the search was still underway for See SYRIA, page 2A

Mom upset over judges hair-cut punishment

PRICE, Utah (AP) A Utah mother says she felt intimidated in court when a judge told her that he would reduce her 13-year-old daughters sentence if she chopped off the girls ponytail in court an offer the mother says she now wishes she hadnt taken. Valerie Bruno, of Price, said she has filed a formal complaint against 7th District Juvenile Judge Scott Johansen with the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission. The teenager and an 11-year-old friend were referred to juvenile court for cutting off the hair of a 3-yearold girl with scissors in March and for harassing another girl in Colorado by telephone. When the 13-year-old faced Johansen for a hearing in May, he ordered she serve 30 days in detention and to perform 276 hours of community service, but he also offered to take 150 hours of community service off the sentence if her mother cut her ponytail in his courtroom. Bruno is now expressing regret for not consulting an attorney before taking her daughter into the courtroom. I guess I should have went into the courtroom knowing my rights, because I felt very intimidated, she told the Deseret News. An eye for an eye, thats not how you teach kids right from wrong. Mindy Moss, mother of the 3-year-old whose hair was cut off, said she approved of the sentence and even spoke up during the hearing when she felt Bruno had not cut off enough of her daughters hair. Johansen then directed Bruno to cut the ponytail all the way to the rubber band. Moss told The Salt Lake Tribune that she originally called police about the haircut because she worried the girls behavior could become more serious. I didnt want them to think they got away with it ... It was malicious, Moss said. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach Johansen were unsuccessful Sunday. Colin Winchester, executive director of the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission, said the state Constitution bars him from commenting on whether a complaint has been filed against a judge. A complaint only becomes public if disciplinary action is taken against a judge, he said.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to address legislators in parliament Tuesday and reveal what measures Turkey will take against Damascus for downing down the plane. Also today, the Red Cross said hundreds of civilians are trapped in the Syrian city of Homs and aid workers cannot reach them because of the fighting. Homs has been one of the hardest-hit areas in Syria as regime forces try to crush the opposition. The defectors who crossed into Turkey overnight were brought to a refugee camp in Hatay, a province bordering Syria. Turkey is host to some 33,000 Syrians who are seeking refuge from the violence.

Cities focus on rivers as key to development

DAYTON (AP) Ohio cities focusing on new largescale downtown development are looking to their rivers as a base for much of that development, and planners say a key decision facing cities is how best to tie their rivers to such projects. Developers and planners say the question that cities including Dayton, Toledo, Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland have to answer is not whether to use their riverfronts but how to best link them to city centers to attract new residents and businesses and strengthen the economic base, the Dayton Daily News reported (http://bit.ly/ L5dr92). Michael Ervin, who has been leading efforts to develop Daytons riverfront as chairman of the Downtown Dayton Partnership, said rivers have always been critical to the states economy. But now planners are trying to connect the river to the rest of the city by creating a great sense of place, where people will want to live, work, play and learn, he said. Ervin said a vibrant downtown is essential for a strong regional economy because thats where workers of the future want to live. Cities throughout Ohio and elsewhere are working on transforming downtown areas along rivers once primarily used for barge traffic and waste disposal. In the Midwest, especially, riverfronts used to be the back doors of cities because they were industrial, said David Ginsburg, chief executive of Downtown Cincinnati Inc., which was instrumental in The Banks project in Cincinnati. What youre seeing now is cities reclaiming their riverfronts. The mixed-use development along the Ohio River already is a central attraction in Cincinnati. The nearly completed Phase 1A includes a 300-unit luxury apartment complex and 96,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, which is expected to generate $91 million a year in economic impact, according to the University of Cincinnati Economic Center. When fully completed, the initial phase is expected to draw $276 million a year in economic impact. The 11-acre, $40 million Scioto Mile city park along the Scioto riverfront in Columbus, and the nearby Columbus Commons park opened last summer and represent a $65 million investment.

Fellowship focuses on urban health issues in Ohio

CLEVELAND (AP) Participants of a new health fellowship program that started this month said theyre hopeful they can help local communities better understand urban issues in northeast Ohio. The 18-month program links community groups and agencies to academic research scientists affiliated with Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. The program aims to help five fellows produce practical data that agencies can use to better serve their communities. This is a potentially powerful program because the research could directly affect the local population, said Dr. Jacqueline Matloub of the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods at CWRU. She is among the group of people who created the fellowship. The fellowship is part-time and allows participants to keep working in their respective agencies. It will include classes for a year that range

Gasoline costs plummet

Allen County and Lima elected and appointed officials will hold their 101st dialogue on Wednesday, June 27th. The monthly dialogues began more than nine years ago, April 2003. The event is from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Allen Economic Development Group, 144 South Main Street, Suite 200. As always, county, township, village, and city officials are invited to chat and share a light meal. A $5 donation is asked to cover the cost of lunch. Dialogues are an agenda-free, informal opportunity to get to know each other, exchange ideas and build relationships, according to David Adams, a member of the groups steering committee. More than 180 officials have participated since April 2003. Total attendance is 1,476. Members of the Planning Committee are David Adams (formerly, Lima City Council), Syl Essick, Roy Hollenbacher (Bath Township Trustee), Millie Hughes (Lima Area League of Women Voters), Mitch Kingsley (Bluffton Village Council), Frank Lamar (formerly, Perry Township Trustee), Jed Metzger (Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce), Greg Sneary (County Commissioners), and MarcelWagner(AllenEconomic Development Group).

River is considered as the catalyst for revitalization there. Developers have announced plans to turn an old plant along the Maumee into a $16 million complex with a new YMCA, health clinics and apartments. A new casino in downtown Cleveland, which already is bringing cash and visitors to that city, eventually will expand to include a building along the Cuyahoga River. Dayton hopes to attract residents to its urban core with a plan to create better recreational spaces along the Great Miami River. Tricia Casey, who lives in downtown Dayton is the kind of resident planners hope will lure retailers, restaurateurs and nightclub operators to return. I like the convenience of being downtown, said Casey, who believes the river could be a major draw there. The Downtown Dayton Partnership has raised nearly $4 million for the RiverScape River Run, which would tear down the low dam across the river and replace it with boulder-like structures to create separate passageways for canoes and kayaks. Its expected to be completed in 2014 Ervin said there are many similar-size cities around the country that have seen a significant return on waterfront investments.

from research techniques to statistics. Research projects will then be finished over a six-month period. Elaine A. Borawski, also of the prevention center, told the Plain Dealer that the ultimate goal is to produce significant, accurate and practical research that agencies can use to better serve their communities. Borawski noted the program will help link academic researchers to local agencies that dont often know what to do with data they collect about their communities. She said results could help track health patterns in disadvantaged populations, and possibly help win grants to alleviate it. The program Partners in Education, Evaluation and Research or PEER is being funded through a $200,000 grant from the National Institute of Health. It covers stipends, laptops and classroom training equipment. The program will train 15 fellows over the next five years.

COLUMBUS (AP) Average gas prices in Ohio have dropped more than 20 cents over the past week, though drivers still are paying more than at this time last year. A gallon of regular gas averaged $3.43 in todays survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. The average a week ago was 22 cents higher at $3.65. A year ago, the cost was about $3.38. Oil prices remain near eight-month lows.

The Akron Beacon Journal reports more than 2,200 suggestions were submitted in a public naming contest. The list was narrowed to three names that will be lowered into the water today so the 4-foot-long octopus can choose by touching one. The most-submitted suggestion was Octavia. The second option, Scarlet, refers to the creatures reddish skin. Or perhaps the choice will be Cora, a shortened version of coral, a popular octopus habitat and the theme of the exhibit.

Poll: Election winner wont impact economy much

By CONNIE CASS Associated Press WASHINGTON When it comes to the economy, half of Americans in a new poll say it wont matter much whether Barack Obama or Mitt Romney wins even though the presidential candidates have staked their chances on which would be better at fixing the economic mess. People are especially pessimistic about the future presidents influence over jobs, according to the Associated Press-GfK poll. Asked how much impact the November winner will have on unemployment, 6 in 10 gave answers ranging from slim to none. Yet the candidates, the polls and the pundits agree the economy is the issue of 2012. Can either man convince voters that he would set things right? James Gray of Snow Hill, N.C., is skeptical. It doesnt look to me like the economy or nothing gets better no matter who youve got up there, Gray said. I dont know why it is. A retired policeman, Gray plans to vote for Romney and thinks the Republican might win. But he doesnt have much hope that would improve things for people like RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press him, living on a fixed income. Every time you go to the grocery store the prices have gone up, he said. Years of disappointing economic news following the 2007-2009 recession have deflated American optimism. And worries about financial troubles in Europe and congressional gridlock at home hang over the future. Twothirds of people still describe the economy as poor. The same number 31 percent think unemployment will grow worse over the next year as predict it will ease up. Right now its so bad, said Maria Fisher of Timber Pines, Fla.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Biden told Obama his war plan was flawed

WASHINGTON (AP) As President Barack Obama considered adding as many as 40,000 U.S. forces to a backsliding war in Afghanistan in 2009, Vice President Joe Biden warned him that the military rationale for doing so was flawed, a new book about Obamas expansion of the conflict says. The book, Little America: The War Within the War for Afghanistan, also says that in planning the drawdown of troops two years later, the White House intentionally sidelined the CIA. Obama purposely did not read a grim CIA assessment of Afghanistan that found little measurable benefit from the 30,000 surge forces Obama eventually approved, the book quotes a U.S. official as saying. A copy of the book by Washington Post correspondent Rajiv Chandrasekaran was obtained by Associated Press. It will be released Tuesday. A previously undisclosed Biden memo to Obama in November 2009 reflects his view that military commanders were asking Obama to take a leap by adding tens of thousands of forces whose role was poorly defined. Although Bidens doubts have become well known, the new book details how Biden used a months-long White House review of the war to question the basic premise that the same counterinsurgency strategy that had apparently worked in Iraq could be applied to Afghanistan. I do not see how anyone who took part in our discussions could emerge without profound questions about the viability of counterinsurgency, Biden wrote to Obama. To work, the counterinsurgency or COIN doctrine requires military gains to be paired with advances in government services, a credible Afghan government and Afghan security services that take over, Bidens memo said.

A battle for Internet freedom as UN meeting nears

WASHINGTON A year after the Internet helped fuel the Arab Spring uprisings, the role cyberspace plays in launching revolutions is being threatened by proposed changes to a United Nations telecommunications treaty that could allow countries to clamp down on the free flow of information. For months, dozens of countries have been meeting behind closed doors to debate changes to the 24-year-old treaty. The U.S. delegation to the World Conference on International Telecommunications to be held in Dubai this December has vowed to block any proposals that could permit online censorship or undercut the Internets current governing structure. Yet those assurances have failed to ease fears that bureaucratic tinkering with the treaty could imperil Internet freedom and diminish its role in economic growth, according to legal experts and civil liberties advocates who have been tracking the discussions. Russia, for example, has proposed language that requires member states to ensure the public has unrestricted access and use of international telecommunication services, except in cases where international telecommunication services are used for the purpose of interfering in the internal affairs or undermining the sovereignty, national security, territorial integrity and public safety of other states, or to divulge information of a sensitive nature, according to a May 3 U.N. document that details the various proposals for amending the treaty. The wording of this provision could allow a country to cite a U.N. treaty as the basis for repressing political opposition. The provision also appears to contradict Article 19 of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says people shall have the right to access information through any media and regardless of frontiers. A senior U.N. official said Friday the amended treaty will not create any barriers to information online, but acknowledged that the Russian proposal has not yet been rejected. Any proposals that cannot be agreed to by all member states will not be included in the final document, said Hamadoun Toure, secretary general of the International Telecommunication Union,

ideas, as well as all sorts of other factors, including world events, that affect whether the U.S. economy grows or shrinks. Despite the dominance of economic issues in the presidential race, Americans are evenly split over whether the man living in the White House in 2013 will bring significant change to the overall economy. A majority of those surveyed 55 percent say the winner will have from just some impact to no impact on the nations huge budget deficits. Those with little confidence that the winner can fix things are also more pessimistic overall just 32 percent of them think the economy will improve in the coming year. In contrast, among those who expect a substantial impact from the winner, half think the economy will get better. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to predict that the winners imprint will be felt: 58 percent say the elections outcome will affect the economy overall. Yet fewer than half of Republicans foresee much impact on joblessness. Everett Hickman, an Obama supporter, said both campaigns overplay how much a president can do.

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON The punch line is at least as old as the eldest baby boomer: I didnt get a pony. Heres Jerry Seinfeld: I hated those kids (who had ponies). In fact, I hate anyone that ever had a pony when they were growing up. Why is this funny? Because we all know that, for the most part, kids who had ponies were the rich kids. The lucky ones. Nearly every child wants a pony at some point and so we all relate to Seinfelds hate. We dont really hate them, of course, but we do envy them. In todays political climate, we are invited to resent and hold them in contempt. It is but a short canter from hating pony people to despising the horse crowd. And this is because people who own fancy horses thoroughbreds or heaven forbid (you knew this was coming) Olympic horses are very, very rich. We just call them the One Percenters these days. Thus, Ann Romney, wife of the presumptive Republican nominee, recently became a target of ridicule when it was revealed that she co-owns an Olympian horse that will compete in dressage, a sport she apparently enjoys. Dressage, sometimes called horse ballet, is the highest expression of horse training, according to the International Federation for Equestrian

KATHLEEN PARKER

Horse sense

the U.N. agency that oversees the treaty. An amended treaty would be binding on the United States if it is ratified by the Senate. But approval is not automatic. The treaty, known formally as the International Telecommunications Regulations, is sure to be scrutinized by lawmakers wary of its potential impact. The ITU does not operate like the U.N. Security Council, where the United States has the power to veto resolutions to which it objects. The ITU works on a consensus basis. Proposals can be stopped from serious consideration if enough countries voice their objections. More than 190 nations will attend the Dubai conference and the U.S. delegation is seeking support for its positions at the preparatory meetings that will continue until the conference convenes. It is important that when we have values, as we do in the area of free speech and the free flow of information, that we do everything that we can to articulate and sustain those values, Philip Verveer, deputy assistant secretary of state and U.S. coordinator for international communications and information policy, said in an interview.

Point of View
Sports. It may not be as stimulating as a horse race with bets and booze, but thus it has always been with art. Dressage and horseback riding in general offer other rewards, including therapy for people who suffer maladies from physical disabilities to emotional imbalances. This should not be surprising given the millennia-long relationship between humankind and the horse that transcends mere transportation. Anyone who has ridden knows the deeply satisfying synchronicity between the movements and rhythms of human and horse. The emotional bond that also develops is not insignificant. Forget Donner and Blitzen. Give me Trigger, Fury and Flicka. For Ann Romney, riding has been helpful in dealing with her multiple sclerosis. Indeed, horseback riding is a commonly recommended activity for MS sufferers. Because the natural walking gait of the horse is similar to a humans, riding helps restore balance, coordination and posture, all of which can

be affected by the diseases assault on the spine and central nervous system. Why, then, have some seen fit to ridicule Ann Romneys choice of activities? Stephen Colbert can be forgiven his fun with the news, which focused on dressage as the not-so-common-mans sport. But others have been less funny. Leading the charge on the political side has been MSNBCs Lawrence ODonnell, who, while insisting that he wasnt commenting on Romneys MS, pointed out that the Romneys treat the horse as a business rather than a health expense. Horses that compete and breed at the Olympic level typically are business investments, as ODonnell surely knows. But the talking point must be made and made and made that the Romneys arent like the rest of us working stiffs. They have big ol fancy cars and horses and stuff. And they make lots of money, too. (Oh, and by the way, television anchors do rather well. Whats with the guilt?) And why this war on success? People who are struggling through rough economic times didnt suddenly become stupid and surely most see through this absurd, sustained attack on the Romneys, whose only apparent sin is having been successful. Romneys opponents seem

to be aghast that he has made money for investors (arent we all investors?), though they studiously ignore other greed-less facts: He never took a dime in salary for heading the Olympics in Salt Lake City nor as governor of Massachusetts, to mention a couple. The issue of Ann Romneys horse is yet more ideological nonsense from the left, intended to portray Republicans generally and the Romneys specifically as enemies of The People. Riding horses is framed as just one more example of how out of touch the Romneys are with everyday Americans, though Democrats didnt seem to mind that Jackie Kennedy was an avid horsewoman. Should Ann Romney become first lady, perhaps she can promote the therapeutic benefits of horseback riding and encourage a culture that funnels the countless unwanted or retired horses to riding farms where emotionally or physically distressed people can enjoy the special communion between human and horse. It would make a better use of these noble animals than as circus or zoo meat, which is how so many wind up. Maybe she could even arrange to get ODonnell his own pony.

Clint Bowyer picks up 1st win of season at Sonoma

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press SONOMA, Calif. Clint Bowyer and his crew chief both needed jobs at the end of last season. They found them at Michael Waltrip Racing, a team that survived a near-collapse in its first season only to struggle in its bid to rise above mediocrity. The team then picked up Mark Martin, who needed a team that would let him race a partial schedule. Later came Brian Vickers, who was out of work but willing to fill the seat for some of Martins off days. The team overhauled its approach, changed its way of thinking and made sweeping upgrades throughout the organization. Its made for a dramatically improved organization all year and now MWR has its first victory of the season. Bowyer, led by former Juan Pablo Montoya crew chief Brian Pattie, earned his first win on a road course Sunday by holding off Kurt Busch at Sonoma. Ive had good teammates and good stuff before but never like this, said Bowyer, who left Richard Childress Racing at the end of last season when a contract extension couldnt be completed. This is a young group, Michael stuck it out and Im telling you, hes fixing to reap the benefits. Hes worked hard. Waltrip was beaming after the win, his third since the team was formed in 2007. This place just reminds me on how mightily Michael Waltrip Racing struggled when we started, Waltrip in an unsponsored car, was all over the bumper of Bowyers Toyota late and got a final shot at taking the win away when caution flew with four laps remaining. Only Busch damaged his car with roughly eight laps to go and worried the entire caution period whether his Chevrolet was ruined and had no chance of catching Bowyer through the 2-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Bowyer raced side-by-side with Busch at the green flag, then cleared Busch and pulled away for the win. It was a strong day allaround for MWR, which got a fourth-place finish from Vickers, who was back to NASCAR after racing last weekend at Le Mans. Martin Truex Jr. led 15 laps and was running in the top 10 until a late-race incident with Joey Logano dropped him to 22nd. Tony Stewart passed Busch on the final lap to claim second but said it was because Buschs car was struggling. Kind of got it by default there to a certain degree. Once we got by there, we just were not close enough in that last lap to get to Clint, Stewart said. Busch wound up third. He was emotional after Busch missed Pocono earlier this

said. Just five short years ago, we were here and wondering what our future was like and how we were going to survive. We probably appreciate this more than anybody ever could because we know how close we were to just not being around anymore, just six months out of our start.

Although Bowyer finished fourth three previous times on this road course, his background is on dirt tracks and this style of racing isnt his strong suit. Bowyer dominated by leading 71 of the 112 laps. Defending race winner Busch,

The Associated Press CROMWELL, Conn. Marc Leishman shot an early 8-under 62 and won the Travelers Championship for his first PGA Tour title Sunday when Charley Hoffman blew a 2-stroke lead. The 28-year-old Australian began the day six strokes behind the leaders but made eight birdies and no bogeys, then sat in the clubhouse for over two hours and watched. He finished at 14-under 266. Hoffman was 16 under heading to the 17th hole but pushed his tee shot right and into the water. He made a double bogey and bogeyed the 18th after failing to get up and down from a greenside bunker. Hoffman closed with a 66 to tie for second with Masters champion Bubba Watson, who shot a 65. Leishman became the fifth player in seven years to break through with their first tour win at River Highlands, joining Fredrik Jacobson last year, Watson in 2010, Hunter Mahan in 2007 and J.J. Henry in 2006.

The 62 was the lowest score in a final round by a champion on tour this season.

Its an amazing day, when you can do what we did, Busch said. Im a little choked up because A: We were in position. B: I was very considerate to Bowyer, who was going for his first win with the new team. And then C: which is most important, I made a mistake, I got into those tires in turn 11. Vickers was fourth for MWR, followed by Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. Greg Biffle was seventh, followed by pole-sitter Marcos Ambrose, AJ Allmendinger and Joey Logano. Most everyone believed the race would be a runaway win for either Ambrose or Gordon but neither really contended. Ambrose led the first 11 laps before plummeting through the field and felt the setup on his Richard Petty Motorsports Ford was just off. Gordon led one time for 13 laps before running out of gas as he was headed in for a scheduled pit stop.

MANULIFE FINANCIAL LPGA CLASSIC WATERLOO, Ontario Brittany Lang won the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic for her first LPGA Tour title, birdieing the par-5 18th three straight times in a playoff. Lang, the first former Duke player to win on the LPGA Tour, missed a birdie try on the hole in regulation, leaving her tied with South Korean players Hee Kyung Seo, Inbee Park and Chella Choi at 16-under 286. Choi was eliminated on the first extra hole and Park dropped out on the second. On the third extra hole, Lang hit her approach into a greenside bunker and blasted out to 6 feet to set up her winning birdie putt. Lang closed with her second straight 67, Choi had a 63, Seo a 67 and Park a 69. Lang, Seo and Park, playing together in the final threesome at Grey Silo, all had a chance to win in regulation but settled for pars on the finishing hole to set up the playoff. Stacy Lewis, a 2-time winner this year, and U.S. Womens Open champion So Yeon Ryu shot 64 to tie for fifth at 15 under. Lewis opened with a 72, then shot 64-69-64.

YANKEES 6, METS 5 NEW YORK Robinson Cano hit a tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning and the New York Yankees touched up R.A. Dickey for five runs in a victory over the New York Mets. Nick Swisher had an early 3-run shot against Dickey, who was coming off consecutive 1-hitters making him the first major-league pitcher in 24 years to accomplish that feat. But in a much-anticipated matchup at sold-out Citi Field, both he and Yankees ace CC Sabathia were missing their best stuff. Cano drove a 2-0 delivery from Miguel Batista (1-2) over the home run apple in straightaway center for his 16th homer and fifth in seven games. Yankees finished 5-1 against their crosstown rivals this season. Including a sweep in the Bronx earlier this month, the Yankees have won five consecutive series against the Mets since May 2010. Sabathia gave up nine hits in 5 2/3

The Associated Press INTERLEAGUE BOSTON Kevin Youkilis said farewell at Fenway Park on Sunday, a 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves helped by Cody Ross, who hit two homers and drove in five runs. Youkilis was traded to the Chicago White Sox for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and right-hander Zach Stewart after the game. Youkilis was lifted for a pinch-runner after hitting a triple in the seventh inning. He was greeted with a hug from Nick Punto, who pinch-ran for him, and many of his teammates on the top step of the dugout. The burley infielder, in his ninth season with the Red Sox, took his helmet off and waved to the crowd, blew a kiss and was urged to come out for a curtain call by his teammates before heading down the steps. He was given a lengthy standing ovation and the fans chanted Yook. Aaron Cook (1-1), gave up three runs two earned six hits and didnt walk or strike out anyone in five innings.

TWINS 4, REDS 3 CINCINNATI Josh Willingham hit a 2-run homer in the ninth inning off shaky Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman, rallying Minnesota over the Reds.

Willinghams homer overcame Joey Vottos eighth-inning, 2-run homer that had given the Reds a 3-2 lead. Minnesota left-hander Scott Diamond (6-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in eight innings. RANGERS 4, ROCKIES 2 ARLINGTON, Texas Matt Harrison worked five scoreless innings for his 10th victory, Leonys Martin had a pair of extra-base hits for his first three RBIs in the majors and the Texas Rangers beat Colorado. Martin had an RBI double in the second and a 2-run triple an inning later. Harrison (10-3) won his sixth consecutive decision. His outing was cut short because of tightness in his lower back that caused soreness in his left hip. Alex White (2-6) lost his third straight decision. Texas finished a majors-best 14-4 in interleague play. MARLINS 9, BLUE JAYS 0 MIAMI Mark Buehrle pitched effectively for seven innings to become the winningest pitcher in interleague play, John Buck hit a 3-run homer and the Marlins snapped a 6-game losing streak with a win over Toronto. Greg Dobbs had a 2-run homer among his three hits for the Marlins, winners for just the third time in 18 games. Buehrle (6-8) gave up seven hits in winning his 25th interleague matchup, breaking a tie with Freddy Garcia. Buehrle struck out seven. Toronto starter Jesse Chavez (0-1) allowed six runs and seven hits in six innings while striking out six. ORIOLES 2, NATIONALS 1 BALTIMORE Matt Wieters hit a 2-run homer in the eighth inning to interrupt Baltimores agonizing offensive struggle and the Orioles rallied to beat the Nationals.

It was Casillas second blown save in 22 chances this season in place of bearded closer Brian Wilson. Jim Miller (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the victory. Buster Poseys 2-run homer in the first was all the Giants could squeeze out against A.J. Griffin.

LIMA JUNIOR Blair becomes 1st-time winner with Run for the Rabbit
For The Delphos Herald LIMA The annual Run for the Rabbit at Limaland Motorsports Park honors the memory of Travis The Rabbit Miller and has become one of the most coveted titles for sprint car drivers to win during the season. Ron Blair of Troy captured both the Run for the Rabbit event and posted his first career Limaland Motorsports Park victory Friday night and he did it leading the field flag-to-flag in the 25-lap feature race. Earlier heat races and the random inversion selection allowed Blair to start from the outside front-row starting position. Although its the most popular starting grid slot, a stacked field of former winners and veteran hardchargers provides no guarantees of a victory. NRA Sprint Invaders points leader Randy Hannagan entered with a 4-race LMP features winning streak. Despite Hannagans starting from the fifth row, most observers still felt he was a genuine contender. An untimely spinout for Hannagan on lap number three put him at the tail of the field and effectively ended his hopes for a fifth consecutive feature win at the track. He eventually finished in the sixth position. At the front of the field, Blair was riding the cushion of the track and looked to be in full acceleration. I felt like I was on a rail running up high, said a humble Blair after the race. Kyle Sauder, Tim Allison and Greg Dallman were involved in some exciting back and forth action behind Blair. Sauder finished second and Allison took the third finishing position. It seemed as if Blair hardly noticed the action following him through the race, slowed by just two cautions. It was a lotta fun and starting up front with the way the track felt tonight really suited my driving style, said Blair. My crew really did a great job getting my car ready for tonight! The 20-lap K&N UMP Modified feature also saw a flag-to-flag winning performance. Defending track champion Todd Sherman worked the bottom and middle lines around the track after starting on the pole of the 20-car field. Fellow Indiana racer Jake Reufer provided a genuine challenge to Sherman as he worked the outside line. Three separate caution flags slowed Reufers progress and he was unable to create a successful pass for the race lead. There was also a final whiteflag restart that added to the events drama. I knew Jake and the young guys would stay up on the cushion but I was going to just stay down on the bottom and run a conservative line and it paid off for me, said Sherman after the win. This is a brand-new car that we brought out last week at a different track. Im scared to bring it here and experiment because the cars are so fast. I won with it last week and now here tonight, so I guess well keep it out as the points chase tightens up. It was Shermans first win since the season-opener on April 20 and the 28th of his career at the track. The big question entering the 15-lap Budweiser Thunderstocks feature was who might put a stop to Jeff Koz and his current 4-race winning streak. Defending track champion Tony Anderson took the early lead and then a flat tire for Koz on lap number four officially ended his hopes for another win. From that moment forward, points leader Shawn Valenti, the only driver other than Koz to win a feature in the division this season, gave Anderson all he could handle, working the outside line on the race leader. Valenti, of Fostoria, threatened on numerous occasions to pass Anderson but a series of caution flags slowed his momentum. Finally on the last lap of the race, Valenti cleanly drove around Anderson on the backside of the 1/4-mile oval to cross the line in first position and post his fourth win of the season. He (Tony Anderson) did such a good job with restarts, it was killing my chances, said Valenti. I just

I thought maybe lapped traffic would have slowed him but in the end Im grateful to have pulled this one off. Anderson is a class act and this is a tough division. It marked Valentis fourth win of the season and first since May 11. Limaland Motorsports Park returns to action on Friday with the 30th annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the UNOH All-Star Circuit of Champions and the K&N UMP Modifieds.

They have four children, David (Jennifer) Sanders, Todd (Kay) Sanders, Kelly (Becky Chatos) Sanders and Jeni (Michael) Kennedy; five grandchildren, four stepgrandchildren and four step-great-grandchildren.

Disneys Brave shows mettle with $66.7 million debut

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A new Disney princess has ascended to the box-office throne with a No. 1 debut for Pixar Animations Brave. The latest from the makers of WALL-E, Finding Nemo and the Toy Story movies opened with $66.7 million domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday. Brave added $13.5 million in 10 overseas markets for a worldwide start of $80.2 million. Featuring a feisty Scottish princess, Brave was the first of Disneys Pixar animations with a female protagonist. And it left American hero Abraham Lincoln in the dust. The 20th Century Fox action tale Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opened far back at No. 3 with $16.5 million, behind Madagascar 3: Europes Most Wanted. DreamWorks Animations animated Madagascar sequel had been No. 1 for two weekends and added $20.2 million to raise its domestic total to $157.6 million. Brave is the 13th-straight Pixar release to open at No. 1 since Toy Story launched Hollywoods age of computer animation in 1995. Their track record is just unbelievable, said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood. com. The Pixar brand just carries so much weight with the audience, it doesnt matter almost what the story is about if it has the Pixar name. The weekends other new wide release, Steve Carell and Keira Knightleys apocalyptic romance Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, misfired with just $3.8 million, debuting at No. 10. The Focus Features film, playing in much narrower release than other top-10 movies, stars Carell and Knightley as heartbroken neighbors on a road trip as a killer asteroid hurtles toward Earth. Woody Allens Italian romance To Rome with Love

Bob and Jane Hanneman of Glandorf will celebrate 50 years of marriage on July 4 with a family dinner held at Lock 16 in Lima. Bob and the former Jane Dickrede were married on July 4, 1962, at St. John the Evangelist Church in Delphos, the Rev. Joseph Schill officiating. They have five children, Cindy (Dave) Burgei, Jeff (Janice) Hanneman, Melanie (Mike) Lauth, Amy (Tony) Kahle and Traci (Keith) Schierloh; eight grandchildren, Kyle and Ryan Hanneman, Brittany and Brandon Lauth, Jenna and Chandler Kahle and Derrick and Drew Schierloh. The couple is retired.

Mr. and Mrs. Dave Desenberg of Delphos will celebrate 30 years of marriage on July 2. A family vacation is planned to Myrtle Beach, S.C. Dave and the former Catherine E. Clark were married July 2, 1982, at St. John the Evangelist Church in Delphos, by Msgr. E.C. Herr and the Rev. Dennis Walker. They have one son, David Desenberg of Columbus; and two daughters, Katharyn Desenberg and Kristina Desenberg of Beavercreek. Dave is employed by Elida Local Schools. Cathy is an executive assistant with Specialized Alternatives for Family and Youth of America in Delphos.

Mr. and Mrs. Sanders 1962

pulled in huge audiences in limited release, debuting with $379,371 in five theaters. That gave the Sony Pictures Classics release a whopping average of $75,874 a theater, compared to $16,028 in 4,164 cinemas for Brave. Brave features a voice cast led by Kelly Macdonald and Emma Thompson in a mother-daughter story of a young Scottish princess defying tradition that requires her to marry against her will. The film proved that audiences will turn up for a female hero, not just the male protagonists of past Pixar flicks, such as Woody and Buzz of Toy Story, the robot of WALL-E or the rat and his chef buddy of Ratatouille.

General Hospital wins big with 5 Daytime Emmys

By FRAZIER MOORE The Associated Press The Daytime Emmys showered General Hospital with five trophies, including best drama, while giving Regis Philbin a fond farewell as a departing talk-show host. NBCs Today show won as best morning show and the syndicated Jeopardy! was named best game show at the annual ceremony Saturday. Live with Regis and Kelly was saluted as best entertainment talk show (its first-ever nod in that category) and for best talk-show hosts. Philbin ended his long run as its co-host last November, with a replacement yet to be named to join Kelly Ripa as the syndicated series continues. Heather Tom, who won as best lead actress for CBS The Bold and the Beautiful, made history as the first to win in that category after having previously won as both best younger actress and supporting actress. Anthony Geary won as lead actor for General Hospital. The ABC soap also won for supporting actress (Nancy Lee Grahn), supporting actor (Jonathan Jackson), and directing team. The syndicated Dr. Oz was named best informative talk show. Bill Geddie, longtime associate of Barbara Walters and executive producer of her ABC talk show The View, received the life achievement award. Theres not a lot of glamour and glory in daytime, Geddie told the room in his acceptance remarks. But when you think about it, were all here with the best of intentions: We just love making TV! Held in Beverly Hills, Calif., the 39th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards was telecast on the HLN channel, having moved to cable for the first time after airing on CBS the past two years. The awards are bestowed by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The Beverly Hilton, where the presentation originated, was the site only hours earlier of what investigators believe was a murder-suicide. Police responding to a report of a shooting late Friday found a man and a woman dead from gunshot wounds in a guest room. The luxury hotel was also the site of Whitney Houstons death in February, when the singer drowned in the bathtub of her room. Daytime Emmy Winners: Drama series: General Hospital. Lead actress in a drama series: Heather Tom, The Bold and the Beautiful. Lead actor in a drama series: Anthony Geary, General Hospital.

Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek suffers mild heart attack

NEW YORK (AP) Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek is in a Los Angeles hospital recovering from a mild heart attack. Sony Television spokeswoman Paula Askanas said Sunday that Trebek was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Saturday. She says the 71-year-old Trebek is expected to fully recover and be back giving answers when Jeopardy! resumes production on a new season in July. While he was in the hospital on Saturday, Jeopardy! won a Daytime Emmy award for best game show. Trebek has been hosting Jeopardy! for 28 years.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 2012 In the year ahead, you could be smarter and sharper than in the past, allowing you to finalize important matters to your satisfaction. What you were unable to do previously might now be a piece of cake. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -There are indications that sometime early in the day you could have a disagreement with a friend over something utterly insignificant. Once the dust settles, resolve the matter promptly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It might be unwise to mix business with pleasure. Those with whom youre doing business might not be able to distinguish between the two, and could end up not taking you seriously. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Trust your decisions when it comes to a partnership situation. Chances are they will be superior to those of your cohort, especially when it comes to commercial or financial matters. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A failure on your part to honor a commitment could create ill feelings between you and a co-worker. Try to make up for it in the near future. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Lady Luck is likely to intervene on your behalf, but she might not be operating on your timetable. Try to pay closer attention to what she is doing and dont get too far in front of her. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The longer you haggle over a matter, the less likely you are to make a good deal. Be fair going in, and you wont turn things into a bargaining marathon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont despair if an objective that youre striving for is not achieved on your first try. You might have to regroup several times to figure out how to get what you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful of what you guarantee on an impulse, because it will be taken seriously. If you really didnt mean to give that much, youll regret it later when you have to pay up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Because of your pleasant and considerate manner, friends will enjoy your company. However, your family might not get to see the same sterling facets of your personality. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Youll be much more fortunate allowing matters to run their own course. If you interfere with people or events, you could derail something good thats in the process of happening. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Associate with those who are fully prepared to pay their own share while avoiding individuals who always seem to misplace their wallets when it comes time to pay the bill. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Chances are, feelings of superiority will cause you to lower your guard at the wrong time, and could induce you to underestimate the opposition. Its likely to be your downfall. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2012 In the year ahead, you are likely to make a solid connection that will turn out to be extremely profitable for a long time to come. The deal is apt to come about and be set up by a close friend or relative. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you have any hope of resolving a domestic problem that arises, you must take a firm position and stand by it. Being wishy-washy would only worsen the situation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being fair-minded and unbiased is required if you hope to win others over to your point of view. Trying to force the issue would have an opposite effect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Because you should be able to clearly perceive the difference between what is essential spending and what isnt, this is a good day to get a handle on your budget. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An objective that is of utmost personal importance might not be so vital for some of the others involved. The only way youll get what you want is to break away and work independently. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although you may appear to be in your own world, youll be hard at work weighing and balancing critical issues that will make or break your plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- This is not a good day to talk shop or to try to promote a special interest when in a social setting. Your friends are far more interested in having fun than listening to your workaday affairs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try as you might, it could be difficult for you to escape the scrutiny of others. Whether you like it or not, your public image is being assessed by some rather severe critics. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should trade on your past experiences instead of totally ignoring them. If you dont, you could be tempted to attempt something that didnt work out too well the last time you tried it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You should know that you would derive the greatest of pleasure from engaging in shared activities. If you decide to play a loners role, this will be just another humdrum day. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Because the needs and requirements of those with whom youre involved are too restrictive, you may start to look for a way out. Try to do so as pleasantly as possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make sure you have the necessary tools, materials and time before tackling a big project. If any one of these things is missing, chances are the job will never be finished. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Activities that include elements of friendly competition will be highly appealing to you, which is all well and good. However, if at all possible, keep wagers out of the picture.

Fires spread to Colo. tourist centers

THOMAS PEIPERT By Associated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Wildfires damaged more than a dozen Colorado homes over the weekend and forced evacuations for thousands more while shrouding top state tourist destinations in smoke and emptying hotels and campgrounds ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. Colorado is having its worst wildfire season in a decade, with more than a half dozen forest fires burning across the states parched terrain. One of the newest fires, a blaze near Colorado Springs, grew to more than 3 square miles Sunday after erupting just a day earlier and prompting evacuation orders for 11,000 residents and an unknown number of tourists. The fire sent plumes of gray and white smoke over the area that obscured at times Pikes Peak, the most-summited high-elevation mountain in the nation and inspiration for the song America The Beautiful. Winds had started to push smoke away from Colorado Springs and evacuations orders were lifted for the 5,000 residents of nearby Manitou Springs, but area residents and tourists still watched nervously as haze wrapped around the peak. Were used to flooding and tornadoes, nothing like this, said Amanda Rice, who recently moved to the area from Rock Falls, Ill. Rice, her husband, four children and dog. They left a Manitou Springs hotel late Saturday. Rice, scared when she saw flames, took her family to the evacuation center before she was told to go. It was just this God-awful orange glow. It was surreal. It honestly looked like hell was opening up, Rice said Sunday. Even while other large fires burn across the West, Colorados blazes have demanded half the nations firefighting fleet, according to Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. He said C-130 military transport planes from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs would begin assisting today. People recognize this is going to take a big push to extinguish, Hickenlooper said Sunday from a Colorado Springs grocery store, where volunteers were passing out burritos, sandwiches and drinks to 350 firefighters working near Pikes Peak. A statewide ban on open campfires and private fireworks has been in place for more than a week. While no homes were reported damaged in the Colorado Springs-area fire, a forest fire near Rocky Mountain National Park destroyed structures near the mountain community of Estes Park. The Larimer County Sheriffs Office said Sunday that 22 homes and 2 outbuildings had been burned. The Estes Park destroyed vacation cabins and closed the most commonly used entrance to the park. Clouds of smoke blew toward the 102-year-old Stanley Hotel that inspired Stephen King to write The Shining.

Debby drenches Florida

By SUZETTE LABOY The Associated Press MIAMI Tropical Storm Debby whipped Florida with bands of drenching rain today while its center was nearly stationary in the Gulf of Mexico. Its slow progress meant the most pressing threat from the storm was flooding, not wind. Tropical storm warnings were in effect for parts of Florida as the storm parked offshore. A tropical storm warning for the coast of Alabama was discontinued early today. Yet even with the storms center far from land, it lashed Florida with heavy rains and spawned isolated tornadoes that killed at least one person. Another person was missing in rough surf off Alabama. Residents in several counties near the crook of Floridas elbow were urged to leave low-lying neighborhoods because of the threat of flooding. High winds forced the closure of an interstate bridge that spans Tampa Bay and links St. Petersburg with areas to the southeast. In several locations, homes and businesses were damaged by high winds authorities believe were from tornadoes. Debbys center was essentially stationary about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south-southwest of Apalachicola, Fla., early today. Debbys top sustained winds decreased to near 50 mph (85 kph). The forecast map indicated the storm could inch forward through the week, eventually coming ashore over the Panhandle. However, a storms path is difficult to discern days in advance. Underscoring the unpredictable nature of tropical storms, forecasters discontinued a tropical storm warning Sunday afternoon for Louisiana after forecast models indicated Debby wasnt likely to turn west. At one point, forecasters expected the storm to come ashore in that state. There are always going to be errors in making predictions. There is never going to be a perfect forecast, said Chris Landsea, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center. A major concern will be flooding from heavy rainfall. The storm is moving slowly, allowing its clouds more time to unload rain. A public advisory said parts of northern Florida could get 10 to 15 inches of rain, with some areas getting as much as 25 inches. The Highlands County Sheriffs Office said in a news release that several tornadoes moved through the area southeast of Tampa, damaging homes. Sheriffs Office spokes-

Critics blast Tennessees no holding-hands bill

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Spurred by a classroom demonstration involving a sex toy, Tennessee recently enacted a pro-abstinence sex education law that is among the strictest in the nation. The most debated section of the bill bars educators from promoting gateway sexual activity. But supporters seemed too squeamish during floor debate to specify what that meant, so critics soon labeled it the no holding-hands bill. One thing missing from the debate in the Legislature was a discussion of whether the law signed by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam last month really would help reduce Tennessees high teenage pregnancy rate. Experts say it wont and warn that it leaves teenagers inadequately educated about sexuality and prevention of pregnancy and disease. Tennessees pregnancy rate among girls 15 to 17 has dropped steadily since the first abstinence-focused sex education curriculum was put in place in the 1990s, according to figures from the state Commission on Children and Youth. In 2009, the latest data available, there were 29.6 pregnancies per 1,000 girls, down from a rate of 48.2 in 1998. Yet the states teen pregnancy rate remains one of the highest in the nation, according to the New York-based Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research organization. Elizabeth Nash, state issues manager for the institute, said state lawmakers across the country began considering more comprehensive sex education programs that talked about abstinence, but also included contraception, about 10 years ago. Despite declining pregnancy rates around the country, Nash said, theres been a shift by states over the past two years to promote abstinenceonly education. A Utah bill that would have prohibited any discussion of contraception or homosexuality in sex education classes passed the Legislature but was vetoed by the governor. Our perspective is that comprehensive sex education is appropriate and necessary for young people, she said. What we know ... from the research is that comprehensive sex education works. It delays sexual activity, it reduces the number of partners teens have, and it increases contraceptive use. There is very little in the way of any rigorous research that shows that abstinence education has any of these longterm benefits. Barry Chase, president of Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region, agreed. This bill ties the hands of educators in Tennessee and will prevent them from providing the comprehensive education that students want and need and their parents expect, he said. Rep. Jim Gotto, who sponsored the legislation, disputed the way the bill is being characterized. Its not abstinence-only education, said the Nashville Republican. Im so sick of people trying to spin it as that ... because they dont like it. The law does specify that the curriculum has to be abstinence-focused, but they can

woman Nell Hays said a woman was found dead in a house in Venus that was destroyed in the storm. A child found in the same house was taken to the hospital. No further information was available on the childs condition or either persons age. Authorities urged residents to leave low-lying neighborhoods in Franklin, Taylor and Wakulla counties because of flooding. Shelters were open in the area. Wind tore the roof off a marina in St. Pete Beach, and a pier was heavily damaged, said Tom Iovino, a Pinellas County government spokesman. He said no injuries were reported. In Orange Beach, Ala., a 32-year-old man disappeared Sunday in rough surf kicked up by the storm, said Coast Guard Lt. j.g. Torry James. Further information wasnt immediately available. As of Sunday, 23 percent of oil and gas production in the region had been suspended, according to a government hurricane response team. Employees have been evacuated from 13 drilling rigs and 61 production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm was not expected to result in higher oil and gas prices. Its largely a non-event for oil, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.

Judge upholds Ind. Facebook ban for sex offenders

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A national civil rights group said Sunday it would appeal a federal judges decision to uphold an Indiana law that bans registered sex offenders from accessing Facebook and other social networking sites used by children. On Friday, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said in an 18-page order that the state has a strong interest in protecting children and that the rest of the Internet remains open to those who have been convicted. Social networking, chat rooms, and instant messaging programs have effectively created a virtual playground for sexual predators to lurk, Pratt wrote in the ruling, citing a 2006 report by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that found that one in seven youths had received online sexual solicitations and one in three had been exposed to unwanted sexual material online. The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the class-action suit on behalf of a man who served three years for child exploitation, along with other sex offenders who are restricted by the ban even though they are no longer on probation. Federal judges have barred similar laws in Nebraska and Louisiana. We will be appealing, ACLU legal director Ken Falk said in an email Sunday to The Associated Press. Appeals

talk about contraception. Proponents contend abstinence is the most reliable way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Tennessee education officials have said abstinence is already defined in the states statute, and Haslam said he decided to sign the bill after they assured him it changed little. But Sen. Jack Johnson, a Franklin Republican who sponsored the bill in his chamber, said the old law was too vague. We put in tighter definitions, more clearly defined what abstinence-centered and abstinence-based meant, Johnson said. The sex ed law now uses the criminal statute on sexual assault to specify acts such as groping or fondling that fall under gateway sexual activity. It also says family life curriculum must not display or conduct demonstrations with devices specifically manufactured for sexual stimulation. If such incidents do occur, then a parent can sue and a fine can be imposed of at least $500.

from federal courts in Indiana go to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Courts have long allowed states to place restrictions on convicted sex offenders who have completed their sentences, controlling where many live and work and requiring them to register with police. But the ACLU claimed that that Indianas social networking ban was far broader, restricting a wide swath of constitutionally protected activities. The ACLU contended that even though the 2008 law is only intended to protect children from online sexual predators, social media are virtually indispensable and the ban prevents sex offenders from using the websites for political, business and religious activities. But Pratt found that the ban is limited only to social networking sites that allow access by children, and that such sites arent the only forms of communication on the Internet. The Court readily concedes that social networking is a prominent feature of modernday society; however, communication does not begin with a Facebook wall post and end with a 140-character Tweet, she wrote. Though the law doesnt list which websites are banned, court filings have indicated the law covers Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Google Plus, chat rooms and instant messaging services. Earlier filings indicated LinkedIn was also covered by the ban, but Pratts ruling said it wasnt because children under 18 cant sign up for it. It is a very well-reasoned opinion and the Indiana statute has certainly attempted to be specific, said Ruthann Robson, a professor of constitutional law at the City University of New York. But she faulted the judge and the law for treating all sex offenders as if they were likely to commit another offense.

Hooters-style restaurants experiencing a mini-boom

By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK The waitresses at Twin Peaks wear skimpy plaid tops that accentuate their chests. In case you didnt catch the joke, the chains logo is an image of two pointy, snow-capped mountains. And the sports bar doesnt stop there: It promises scenic views. Twin Peaks owner Randy DeWitt downplays all of that and insists that the appeal of the restaurant goes beyond the obvious. Hearty meals and a focus on making customers feel special, he says, are what really keeps them coming back. We believe in feeding the ego before feeding the stomach, he says. Or as the website of the mountain lodge-themed restaurant states, Twin Peaks is about you, cause youre the man! Twin Peaks is part of a booming niche in the beleaguered restaurant industry known as breastaurants, or sports bars that feature scantily clad waitresses. These small chains operate in the tradition of Hooters, which pioneered the concept in the 1980s but has struggled in recent years to stay fresh. Instead of relying on lust alone, the new crop of restaurants is growing by offering new themes (think: rustic lodges and Celtic pubs) and varied menus (think: pot roast and shepherds pie instead of just burgers and wings). In other words, theyre hoping maybe people really are coming in for the food. The nations top three breastaurant chains behind Hooters each had sales growth of 30 percent or more last year, according to Technomic, a food industry research firm. They still represent less than 1 percent of the nations top restaurants, but the upstart chains are benefitting as other mid-priced options like Applebees and Bennigans have experienced declines during the economic downturn. The younger crowds want to go to a newer place, not where mom and dad took them, says Darren Tristano, an analyst at Technomic. Tovan Adams says he frequents Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery in Tempe, Ariz., where waitresses wear matching tartan mini-skirts and bras that fit in with the restaurants Celtic theme. He even brings his daughters, ages 6 and 9, with him for lunch. If you come in the evening, youll see a lot of kids here, says Adams, an electric engineer who likes the menus variety. Everyones still got their clothes on. If you go to the beach, its a lot worse than being here. Lynette Marmolejo, a college admissions worker, dropped in at the Tilted Kilt for the first time recently. She likes that the restaurant is dominated by the corporate crowd rather than the college crowd. And she says the half-dressed waitresses dont bother her. Prices and the food if those are good, I dont care what anybodys wearing, Marmolejo says. Tilted Kilt, which serves dishes such as shepherds pie and Irish nachos (potato chips instead of corn tortillas), had annual sales of $124 million last year, reflecting growth of 33 percent, according to Technomic. And by the end of this year, the company expects to have 95 locations, up from 57 at the end of last year. That growth is one reason Tilted Kilt CEO Rod Lynch, bristles at the breastaurant moniker. He says the word implies that the companys success is based purely on sex appeal. To the contrary, he says his customers about three-quarters of whom are men and of the average age of 36 consistently say the experience is about far more. Tilted Kilt doesnt go so far to call itself a family restaurant. But Lynch understands the risks of crossing a certain line. We want to be very PG-13, he says. Its class in all things motto also means servers cant have tattoos, piercings or dyed hair. Rose Dimov, a 22-year-old waitress at Tilted Kilt, says her job is no different from any other waitressing gig; make guests feel special and ensure they have a good time. As an aspiring ballroom dancer, she also says shes not fazed by the revealing outfit that comes with the job. Going to a restaurant should be an experience, Dimov says. Were entertainers. Although the name might suggest otherwise, the owner of Mugs N Jugs in Clearwater, Fla., says his place also is like any ordinary restaurant with entertainment. Sam Ahmad says his game room, pool table and karaoke are why 40 percent of his customers are families. Sales at the restaurant grew to $3 million in 2008, from $700,000 in 1998, Ahmad says, but have since declined because of the recession. After selling a second location to a franchisee last year, Ahmad is looking to find others who want to open franchise locations under the Mugs N Jugs banner. As for the tank tops and shorts the waitresses wear, Ahmad says they dont reveal too much. And those photos on the Mugs N Jugs website showing waitresses leaning over a pool table? Ahmad explains they are purely for marketing purposes. Theyre at an angle because theyre at a pool table, he says. When youre in the restaurant, you wont see that. Shell be standing. Taking a cue from its much smaller rivals, Hooters is also making changes. The company opened its first location in 1983 in Clearwater, Fla., with waitresses sporting the now famous tiny orange shorts and tight white tank tops. The chain grew rapidly at first but has struggled in recent years. Sales have fallen steadily since peaking in 2007 at $960 million, as the menu and decor grew stale. Last year, a group of private investors bought the chain of 365 restaurants and decided to try to revive the business. In February, Hooters opened a renovated location in Atlanta to showcase its new look with upgraded TVs, an outdoor bar and a covered

patio. Remodeling is slated for another six to eight restaurants this year. In April, Hooters also beefed up its menu with items that include a Baja burger, buffalo chicken sliders and a spinach and shrimp salad. The idea is to offer dishes that draw new customers, says David Henninger, Hooters chief marketing officer. Currently, more than three quarters of Hooters customers are male, with an average age of 45. As part of the effort to improve its image, Henninger says Hooters is looking to showcase the life stories of its servers, many of whom are studying to go on to professional careers. The public can be misinformed about what we do, says Henninger, who was hired this year. They jump to their own conclusions.
