Police: 12 dead in Colorado theater shooting

By THOMAS PEIPERT Associated Press AURORA, Colo. A gunman in a gas mask barged into a crowded Denver-area theater during a midnight premiere of the Batman movie today, hurled a gas canister and then opened fire, killing 12 people and injuring at least 50 others in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history. When the gas began to spread, some moviegoers thought it was a stunt that was part of the The Dark Knight Rises, one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer. Then they saw a silhouette of a person in the smoke near the screen, first pointing a gun at the crowd and shooting. There were bullet (casings) just falling on my head. They were burning my forehead, Jennifer Seeger said, adding that the gunman, dressed like a SWAT team member, fired steadily except when he stopped to reload. Every few seconds it was just: Boom, boom, boom, she said. He would reload and shoot and anyone who would try to leave would just get killed. The suspect was taken into custody and identified by federal law enforcement officials as 24-year-old James Holmes. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Authorities did not release a motive. The FBI said there was no indication that the shooting is tied to any terrorist groups. Victims are being treated for chemical exposure apparently related to canisters thrown by the gunman. Some of those injured are children, including a 3-month-old infant who was shot. Aurora police spokesman Frank Fania on ABCs Good Morning America said he didnt know yet if all the injuries were gun-

The movie opened across the world today, with midnight showings in the U.S. The shooting prompted officials to cancel the Paris premiere, with workers pulling down the red carpet display at a theater on the famed Champs-Elysees Avenue.

Public, private partnership needed to clean canal

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS As residents continue to express concerns for the Miami-Erie Canal after part of it was drained, a state official met with local leaders Thursday to discuss dredging part of the waterway. There was an impromptu meeting yesterday when a planner from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources came to Delphos with a person from the dredging crew to look at what can be done. It seems they favor removing some of the sludge from the bottom of the canal and they may be willing to start sometime next week, Safety Service Director Greg Berquist said. The city, state and a private entity are looking at combining forces to do the work because the state isnt going to pay for the work or perform it. Theyre willing to supply the dredging machine but thats as much as ODNR is willing to do. Theyre asking who is going to pay for the removal; I told them the city is willing to assist but we cant commit the resources needed to haul away 800 cubic yards of filth. They want the city to be the hauling agent; we want to help but we cant be the only one, Berquist said. The details have yet to be worked out, so its all a little fuzzy right now, but the Canal Commission Museum plans to talk with a trucking company to see if they can help and theres also a matter of waiver and release to be worked out because we dont want the city to haul it away only to have to haul it back. The state entity is expected to bring equipment in today. Lou Hohman of the canal commission said this morning that his group is requesting donations to pay for the hauling. The group is a 501 (c)3, so any gifts would be tax deductible. He said a donor has come forward and is willing to match what comes in for the project on a 50-50 basis. He added that someone else is working on getting the trucking issue set up. Berquist doesnt know yet if the material to be dredged is safe or not. The city sent a sample away to be tested and is awaiting results.

VENEDOCIA - Small town Venedocia, Ohio, has a gemstone attraction worthy of a one-tank trip. Salem Presbyterian Church, located in the heart of Venedocia, can trace its roots to the Protestant Reformation. The first three families who came from the land of Wales to settle in Venedocia in 1848 formed the Salem Presbyterian Church. Originally, the church was under the name of the Salem Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church but in 1920, the church merged with the Presbyterian Church. The Welsh heritage is still a foundation for the village. The congregation of the Salem Presbyterian Church continued to worship in the Welsh language well into the 20th century. To cele-

brate their strong Welsh history and rich culture, there is an annual St. Davids Day dinner and program on a Sunday afternoon in early March. Gymanfa Ganu, or the Festival of Song, is held on the Sunday evening of Labor Day weekend. This unique festival attracts people from all over the country as participants sing Welsh hymns (in English) in magnificent four-part harmony. This unique stone church building was dedicated in 1898. The structure features a slate roof and all copper rain gutters and spouting. If you get a chance to go inside, take a look at the architecture, the stained glass windows and the magnificent organ. There are many behind the scenes committees that make this historic church function, such as the See TRIP page 2

Shooting

For The Record

ing toward an exit when she saw a girl about 14 years old lying lifeless on the stairs. She saw a man with a bullet wound in his back and tried to check his pulse, but I had to go. I was going to get shot. Then the man began firing, starting with a shot toward the ceiling. Witness Shayla Roeder said she saw a young teenage girl on the ground bleeding outside the theater. She just had this horrible look in her eyes .... We made eye contact and I could tell she was not all right, Roeder said. Police, ambulances and emergency crews swarmed on the scene after frantic calls started flooding the 911 switchboard, officials said. Officers came running in and telling people to leave the theater, Salina Jordan told the Denver Post. She said some police were carrying and dragging bodies. Hayden Miller told KUSATV that he heard several shots. Like little explosions going on and shortly after that we heard people screaming, he told the station. Hayden said at first he thought it was part of a louder movie next door. But then he saw people hunched over leaving theater. Officers later found the gunman near a car behind the theater. A gas mask, rifle, handgun (and) at least one additional weapon (were) found inside, Aurora police Chief Dan Oates said, adding that there was no evidence of any other attackers. The suspect spoke of possible explosives in his residence. We are dealing with that potential threat, Oates said. A large truck lettered bomb squad arrived near an Aurora apartment complex where the suspect is believed to have lived, about four miles from the theater. Dozens of police squad cars, vans and other vehicles were already at the scene, along with black-clad officers carrying automatic weapons. Police evacuated residents of the building. Oates did not say whether any explosives had been found. He said police also checked for explosives in the parking lot and at the Century 16 theater and secured those areas. At least 24 people were being treated at Denver area hospitals. Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time, the studio said. The youngest victim reported was a 6-year-old being treated at Childrens Hospital Colorado.

Aurora, the states third-largest city. The film has several scenes of public mayhem a hallmark of superhero movies. In one scene, the main villain Bane leads an attack on the stock exchange and, in another, leads a shooting and bombing rampage on a packed football stadium. It was the final installment of the Dark Knight trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Christian Bale as Batman. The series has a darker tone than previous Batman incarnations. It is the follow-up to The Dark Knight, which won Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar for his searing portrayal of The Joker. The gunman released a gas that smelled like pepper spray from a green canister with a tag on it, Seeger said. I thought it was showmanship. I didnt think it was real, she said. Seeger said she was in the second row, about four feet from the gunman, when he pointed a gun at her face. At first, I was just a deer in headlights. I didnt know what to do, she said. Then she ducked to the ground as the gunman shot people seated behind her. She said she began crawl-

Ohio election chief appeals ballot ruling

BRIEFS

STATE/LOCAL

Biden raps Romney for Sleet-ice-snow... opposing auto bailout

By MITCH STACY Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios elections chief is appealing a judges decision that said a federal court agreement governing rules for counting provisional ballots in Ohio does not conflict with state law and will remain in place. At issue are requirements for providing identification when a voter has to cast a provisional ballot, typically a ballot cast in the wrong precinct. Secretary of State Jon Husted argued in May that the two-year-old agreement settling a lawsuit over provisional ballots includes rules that run counter to Ohio elections law. Columbus federal judge Algenon Marbley rejected Husteds argument earlier this month, finding there is no conflict between the agreements requirements and Ohio elections law.

COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio wildlife officer has been placed on unpaid leave after state investigators found that he and two other officers in the southwestern part of the state hunted deer while on the job. A Thursday report by the state inspector general accuses field supervisor David Warner of hunting while on duty in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The watchdogs review also accuses wildlife officer Matthew Roberts of hunting while on duty during the 2010 deer gun season. Wildlife officers are tasked with enforcing state hunting and fishing laws. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said Roberts, a Clinton County officer, has been placed on restrictive duty with pay. A third ex-wildlife officer Allan Wright was also cited in the report for hunting while on duty, though he was fired last year for other violations. A department spokeswoman said the officers arent available for comment. A federal judge last week ordered probation and house arrest for Wright after he was convicted of helping a South Carolina hunter illegally obtain an Ohio deer license at a discount that saved him about $105.

Report: Ohio wildlife officers hunted on duty

COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio Supreme Court has upheld an appeals court ruling overturning the conviction of a Columbus woman now serving time for her role in a fatal hit-and-run in a mall parking lot. The court ruled 4-3 Thursday that 27-year-old Toneisha Gunnells 2009 retrial and conviction on charges of murder and other offenses violated her constitutional right against double jeopardy. The ruling says a Clark County judge improperly declared a mistrial in Gunnells previous trial on the same charges. Gunnell and three other women were tried in the 2005 death of 49-year-old John Deselem. Prosecutors say the women shoplifted clothes at a Springfield mall and struck and killed Deselem as they fled. Gunnells attorney says he hopes to get Gunnell released Thursday or today.

House votes to bar Pentagon from dealing with Russian firm

By DONNA CASSATA Associated Press WASHINGTON The House lashed out at Russia for its unwavering support for Syria, voting Thursday to stop the Pentagon from doing business with a Russian company that has armed Bashar Assads regime. The overwhelming vote on an amendment to the defense spending bill came just hours after Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution threatening nonmilitary sanctions against Syria. The United Nations and other Western nations have been pressuring Assad to end the deadly crackdown on his people that has dragged on for 16 months. The House later passed the defense spending bill for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The White House threatened to veto the legislation, criticizing the House for reneging on the spending levels that Obama and congressional Republicans agreed to last August in a deficit-cutting budget. The vote was 326-90. Incensed by the unending bloodshed in Syria, the House backed an amendment by Rep. Jim Moran, R-Va., that would bar the Pentagon from contracts, cooperative agreements and loans with Rosoboronexport, a Russian state-controlled arms export company that is providing weapons to the Syrian government. The vote was 407-5. The Defense Department has bought 33 dual-use Mi-17 helicopters for the Afghan military from the company, including an order for 10 aircraft last week. The no-bid contract for aircraft and spare parts is worth $640 million. The Pentagon has relied on the company because of the Afghans familiarity with Russian-made helicopters. But Russia reportedly sold $1 billion in arms to Syria last year and the Assad government bought 36 combat jets from the state-controlled firm. I should think its troubling to all of us that we are purchasing helicopters from a Russian firm that is directly complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocent Syrian men, women and children, Moran said. This has got to stop. In a surprise vote, the House agreed to freeze defense spending at the current levels, cutting $1.1 billion from the $608 billion bill. An unusual coalition of liberal Democrats and tea party Republicans jo pleaded for some fiscal discipline from their colleagues. Austerity to me means spending less, said Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C. Total government spending will be up this year. Were still facing a $1 trillion deficit. We need to do better to get our spending under control. Defense Department base budgets have nearly doubled in the last decade, and that

The Green Thumb Garden Club will meet July 23 at the home of Mrs. Henry Fettig, West Fourth Street. The nominating committee consisting of Mrs. Ralph Best, Mrs. Benno Miller and Mrs. Richard Shirack, will present a new slate of officers for the 1962-63 term. Hostesses will be Mrs. Fettig and Mrs. Ralph Best. 75 Years Ago 1937 An interesting bill, advertising a circus, has been brought to the attention of the Herald. M. K. Houltons Circus and its all-star shows announced on the bill that Clingers Acrobatic Troupe had been engaged for the season of 1893. Five Clinger brothers comprised this well-known troupe. W. H. Clinger of West Clime Street, was a member of the group. He was in the circus business for a period of nine years. Plans are underway for the staging of a city track meet at Waterworks Park on July 28. Winners of the meet here will be taken to Lima late in July to represent the Delphos playground organization in an all-county track and field meet. Representatives from all of the playgrounds in Allen County will participate in the county meet. Mrs. Wesley Mullenhour, south of this city, was hostess to the members of the W.C.T.U. Tuesday afternoon when they met at her home for a regular monthly session. The president, Cora Baxter, was in charge of the meeting. The devotionals were conducted by Mrs. E. Burnett. Mrs. M. C. Newton presented the lesson.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Economic data add to signs of slow recovery

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON (AP) A raft of economic news Thursday sketched a picture of a weakening U.S. economy held back by sluggish home buying and factory production. Americans bought fewer homes in June than in May. Manufacturing in the Federal Reserves Philadelphia region contracted for a third straight month this month. And a gauge of future U.S. economic activity fell in June. The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits rose 34,000 last week. Normally, that would signal an increase in layoffs. But the figure was skewed higher by seasonal factors that made it hard to tell whether the job market might be worsening. The government tries to adjust its unemployment benefits data to reflect temporary summertime layoffs in the auto industry. But this year, many automakers skipped those shutdowns to keep up with demand. That led to fewer layoffs, which the Labor Department didnt anticipate. Once those statistical distortions fade, Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc., wrote in a note to clients, we suspect that the data will point to a soggy labor market. The economy is struggling to generate enough growth to boost hiring and consumer spending from subpar levels. Job growth slowed to 75,000 a month from April through June, down from healthy 226,000 pace in the first three months of the year. Unemployment is stuck at 8.2 percent. On Wednesday, a survey by the Fed said hiring was tepid in most of its districts in June and early July. And manufacturing weakened in most regions. Retail sales fell in June for the third straight month, the government said this week. That led many economists to downgrade their estimates for growth in the April-June quarter. Many think it will be even slower than the first quarters scant 1.9 percent annual pace. The few pieces of good economic news lately have been confined mainly to housing. On Wednesday, for example, the government said builders broke ground last month on the most homes in nearly four years. Singlefamily home building rose for a fourth straight month. And permits to build single-family homes hit their highest point since March 2010. Builder confidence has also risen. And average rates on fixed mortgages fell this week to record lows, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. The average on the 30-year loan fell to 3.53 percent, the lowest since longterm mortgages began in the 1950s. But the National Association of Realtors said Thursday that sales of previously occupied homes fell 5.4 percent from May to June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.37 million homes. That was the fewest since October. Compared with a year ago, sales are up 4.5 percent. But the annual sales pace is well below the 6 million that economists consider healthy.

Obama, Romney tangle on issues

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press MANALAPAN, Fla. President Barack Obama is warning Florida retirees that Republican challenger Mitt Romney would undercut the new health care law and alter Medicare, a play for voters in one of the nations top swing states. Obama wraps up a twoday trip to Florida today with stops in Fort Myers and suburban Orlando, where he is pressing the case that retirees would be hurt by Romneys opposition to the health care law and by Republican-led efforts to turn Medicare into a voucher program. Romney is keeping his focus on the economy, charging that Obama remains more concerned about holding onto his own job than creating more jobs for Americans. In pre-convention summertime campaigning, Obama and Romney are locked in a tight contest and seeking advantages in about a dozen toss-up states that could help decide the election. None is more prominent than Florida, which narrowly decided the 2000 election and could provide a major boost to whoever prevails here. Obama, addressing elderly residents of a sprawling South Florida condominium complex on Thursday, By PATRICK CONDON Associated Press jumped on Romneys opposition to the health care law. He said repeal of the law, which was recently upheld by the Supreme Court, would force more than 200,000 Floridians to pay more for their prescription drugs. The president charged Romney with seeking to turn Medicare into a voucher program, drawing jeers from retirees at West Palm Beachs Century Village, home to thousands of reliably Democratic voters. So if that voucher isnt worth enough to buy the health insurance thats on the market, youre out of luck, he said. Youre on your own. Romney would offer subsidies Democrats dismiss them as vouchers to help future retirees buy private insurance, or give them the option of traditional Medicare, with a gradually increasing age to qualify for benefits. Current retirees would not be affected. Romney pointed to new government figures showing that the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits rose by 34,000 last week, a figure that may have been skewed higher by seasonal factors. The former Massachusetts governor is finishing off a week of aggressive antiObama rhetoric with a cam-

doesnt include the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mulvaney was joined by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who questioned the need for half a trillion on defense. The military has three ways to destroy a Soviet Union that doesnt exist anymore, Frank said. The vote was 247-167, with 89 Republicans joining 158 Democrats. After the vote, Mulvaney said in an interview that he hoped the cooperation with Frank could open the door to additional opportunities to find common ground. Overall, the bill would provide $518 billion for the Pentagon and another $88.5 billion for the war in Afghanistan, $2 billion more than Obama requested. The Senate still must craft its version of the bill. Democrats challenged the House bills spending levels, offering an amendment to return the measure to the levels in the budget deal. The bill coming to the floor today is in violation of that bipartisan agreement, said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. Its in violation of an understanding that in order to get our fiscal house in order we had to make tough decisions on spending on defense.

Frank Schubert: Pulls anti-gay marriage strings

MINNEAPOLIS Four years ago, Frank Schubert was a well-paid political consultant for what he jokingly calls the forces of evil tobacco, timber and pharmaceutical companies when he agreed to lead the 2008 campaign to repeal gay marriage in California. What started as a professional challenge has now become a personal crusade. And Schubert, a specialist in political messaging, has become the central figure in a major effort to stop gay marriage from becoming legal across the country. Part Karl Rove and part Pat Robertson, Schubert is managing four statewide campaigns where the issue is on the ballot in the fall in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Hes trying to preserve a winning streak in which conservatives have put anti-gay marriage laws on the books in 31 states since 1998. But that achievement could be in danger as some national polls show public opinion gradually shifting toward accepting gay marriage. Six states plus the District of Columbia allow it. In Maryland and Washington, governors have signed laws to permit same-sex marriage, but those laws are on hold until the November referendums. Schubert said his mission to make voters understand whats at stake. Five thousand years have shown that marriage between a man and a woman serves us well, he said, adding that it is fundamental to our nature as people. The alternative, he said, is a culture based on personal desires. The initiatives this year will feature a collision of well-funded organizations and media efforts as sophisticated as any national political campaign. The National Organization for Marriage, a Washington-based nonprofit supported by conservative donors, is funding Schuberts effort. Gay rights groups and backers are heavily invested on the other side. The opposing forces are expected to spend up to $20 million in Minnesota alone. The campaigns will provide a new test of the competing messages about the contentious issue: Do gays

paign stop in Bow, N.H., today, where he is expected to renew his economic critique of the president. Romney has faced repeated criticism for his record running Bain Capital and for refusing to release several years worth of tax returns. He has tried to go on the offensive, seizing upon comments last week in which the president said, in part: Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If youve got a business, you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen. Romney said the remarks showed a lack of understanding about how small businesses operate. The Romney campaign has produced a new TV ad attacking Obamas remarks. The campaign has not said when and where the ad would run. Obamas team has dismissed the line of attack, saying the presidents words were taken out of context and intended to distract voters from Romneys business record. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday that Obama was using every tool in his toolbox to advance economic growth despite resistance to his jobs agenda in Congress.

deserve the same right to marry as heterosexuals? Or should society allow children to grow up in an environment in which same-sex marriage is a viable life choice? Schubert deftly targets the latter message at parents. Thats a major argument for us, that whenever people have gone to the polls, theyve voted our way, Schubert said last week during a two-day visit to Minnesota to check in on the campaign there. In addition to the 31 states that forbid same-sex marriage, voters in a 32nd state, Maine, overturned a gay marriage law that had been approved by the Legislature. Gay rights organizers begrudgingly admire Schuberts ability as much as they detest what hes doing. Whether we like it or not, hes done a very good job of tapping into fears people have about homosexuality that are still very real, said Julie Davis, a San Franciscobased GLBT activist. For Schubert, a stocky, white-bearded 56-year-old, the cause has been a perfect union of his professional background and personal values.

LANDMARK

Twenty-five years of reflection and celebration

BY Dr. Bonnie Jones, DVM My husband and I are celebrating our twenty-fifth anniversary, not as spouses but as partners and owners of Delphos Animal Hospital. Time truly does fly when you are having fun. We cannot believe that it has been that long. When that much time passes, theres always room to reflect upon the evolution of our practice and veterinary medicine in general. When we opened our practice in 1987, it actually was the continuation of a metamorphosis of the 41-year-old practice of Dr. Edward F. Laman to a pet animal practice. His longstanding practice began as a food animal practice, typical of veterinary medicine at that time. A routine day in the life of Dr. Laman and his contemporaries was to make the rounds in the country to diagnose and treat ailing food or work animals for farmers. Early on in veterinary medicine, it was unlikely that domestic pets received veterinary care at all. Leap forward 60 years and the transformation of Dr. Lamans practice is very evident. Our practice is classified as a mixed animal practice because, thanks to my husband, we continue to serve food animal and equine clients in the area. However, the percentage of our mixed animal practice has shrunk from the obvious majority in Dr. Lamans era to a minority in ours. You will definitely be hard-pressed to find other veterinarians in Lima and the surrounding area who care for livestock at all. The explanation for this trend is multi-faceted. Sadly, the foundation for the trend is economics that of the farmer, as well as the veterinarian. Farmers are, without a doubt, a group of unsung heroes that we all count on daily to feed the world population. With such an important responsibility, they continue to be undercompensated for their role. Because of this, many choose to leave their vocation for better paying jobs. Thus, we have experienced the loss of a significant number of livestock clients in our own practice. From the veterinarians perspective, the economic dilemma is also clear. If a veterinarian charges appropriately for his time, travel and knowledge in caring for livestock, the livestock owner has to give careful consideration to the value of the animal versus the cost of treating it. Often the farmer chooses to treat that animal himself or not at all. Veterinarians are acutely aware of this fact so those who still do treat livestock often undervalue their services. As a practice owner, I will be the first to tell you that undervaluing your services does not pay the drug bills nor any other bill for that matter. The evolution then of veterinary medicine from exclusively livestock practices to mixed animal practices is natural and obvious. But this evolution has continued even further. Now, the majority of veterinary practices are exclusively pet animal practices. Over time, we have

transformed from a population of farmers who valued domestic pets less than their livestock to a generation of pet owners who seek to have their animals treated like family members. What we as veterinarians have witnessed over the last few decades is the evolution of the human-animal bond a bond so strong that it cannot be ignored. Countless examples exist of pet owners sacrificing for their pets and going to extremes to provide for them. Just as many examples exist of pets serving their owners needs to be loved unconditionally, protected and served. As a member of a profession that I dearly love, I am boastfully proud to have been a part of the development of the human-animal bond. I am equally saddened by the demise of the livestock farmer. The end result of this metamorphosis in veterinary medicine is that veterinary graduates now rarely choose to enter food animal practice. In fact, many veterinary colleges and state governments are now offering incentive programs to veterinary students who will commit to the food animal profession. Veterinarians like Dr. Laman and my husband are indeed a dying breed. Current statistics for veterinary classes identify women as the uncontested majority and the number of graduates committing to the food animal profession is a very small minority. One could easily argue that the need for pet animal veterinarians far surpasses the need for food animal veterinarians, but the latter need still exists and demands attention. Thank you, Dr. Laman, for providing us with an outstanding foundation for evolution. We hope we have made you proud.

After overnight rains, sun shines on Day 2 at Open

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England On a day filled with wayward shots, Brandt Snedeker was steady as can be at the British Open. The 31-year-old American, who has never made the cut in golfs oldest major, surged to a four-stroke lead earlier today before many of the other contenders even got on the course at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Following a 4-under 66 in the opening round, Snedeker kept up his assault on the fairways, knocked in four birdies and made the turn with a 4-under 30. He rolled in a 25-footer for another birdie at the par-5 11th, then put his tee shot in the middle of the green on the par-3 12th and calmly sank the putt his sixth birdie of the round, pushing his score to 10 under. First-round leader Adam Scott, who tied the course record with a 64 on Thursday, had an afternoon tee time. So did many of the others who stood out on Day 1, including Paul Lawrie (65), Zach Johnson (65), Tiger Woods (67), Ernie Els (67), Bubba Watson (67) and Graeme McDowell (67) all of them past major winners. Woods, of course, has 14 major titles but hasnt captured one since the 2008 U.S. Open. Everyone was chasing Snedeker, who is best remembered for making an emotional run at the 2008 Masters and winding up in a tie for third. Otherwise, hes never been much of a factor in the majors; in fact, he was 0-for-3 in making the cut at his previous British Opens. That shouldnt be a problem this time, not the way he was playing. He had yet to make a bogey through his first 30 holes at Royal Lytham and showed everyone that there were plenty of birdies to be had if you kept the ball in the fairway. For many players, that proved to be elusive. Rory McIlroy, who opened with a 67, knocked his ball onto an adjoining tee box at No. 3, needed a couple of whacks to escape a towering pot bunker on the ninth and was struggling along at 4 over on the day as he approached the end of his round. Phil Mickelson, the runner-up last year at Royal St. George but never an Open champion, was already warming up the jet after three double-bogeys pushed his total score to 9 over, making him a likely cut victim. And no one took a bigger tumble than the big-hitting Belgian, Nicolas Colsaerts, who had surprised in the opening round with a 65. He fell apart today, running into trouble right away with backto-back bogeys at Nos. 2 and 3 before making a total mess of the par-5 seventh, normally one of the easier holes on the course. His third shot missed the green, winding up in the dreaded rough. He flubbed his attempted escape, the ball going 10 yards and still in the tall grass. Barely able to see it, Colsaerts took another big swing and apparently missed. Finally, he chunked it out on his third try, the ball zipping over the green. A pitch and a putt left him with a triplebogey 8. He was 6 over for the day and just trying to get back to the clubhouse. No. 1-ranked Luke Donald gave the English fans a thrill with four birdies in five holes on the front side, pushing him onto the leaderboard at 3 under. Luuuuuke! the gallery chanted after Donald rolled

one in at No. 8 and pumped his fist. But Donald dropped back with a couple of bogeys on his return leg, including a sloppy approach shot at the 13th that rocketed through the green and disappeared into an especially tall patch of grass. Unable to play it, he had to take a 1-stroke penalty. The erratic play was a striking contrast to the opening round. While Scott was grabbing the lead, 52 other players shot no worse than par. For the first time since 1998, no one in the 156-player field opened with a score in the 80s. After heavy rain overnight inundated the course, turning some bunkers into ponds and prompting the R&A to request fans delay their arrival so the grounds could dry out, the second round began as scheduled under sunny, blue skies. There was just a hint of the feared breezes off the Irish Sea that give the links course its bite, thought the skies began to darken in the afternoon and, as usual, spit out the occasional showers. The rain that has soaked Britain throughout the spring and summer largely stayed away during Day 1, only to return with a vengeance during the night. One of the main spectator gates was closed at the start of play as workers furiously tried to push away all the standing water. Weve had far more rain overnight than we were expecting, unfortunately, R&A chief executive Peter Dawson told BBC Radio. But the course can take it as the drainage here is good. There is some standing water but we can play golf, and the rules of golf will deal with the casual water. The bunkers were the main issue. Already vulnerable to flooding because of the closeness of the sea and rains that have been over the top even by the standards of this waterlogged nation, several traps had been transformed into mini-ponds by the latest batch of showers. PGA champion Keegan Bradley had to hit one of his bunker shots out of a couple of inches of water because there was no place to drop it.

DELPHOS The Tigers built up a 5-0 lead over the Reds in Thursday nights Delphos Minor League season-ending tournament at the Mel and Dee Westrich Complex at Stadium Park. Then they had to hold off a spirited Reds comeback and needed two heads-up plays in the final inning to squeeze out a 6-5 victory in the tournament finals. Reds (10-7) got a 2-out walk by Lincoln Abraham Mueller against Tigers starter Brady Parrish (3 innings of no-hit ball; 2 walks, 7 strikeouts) in the bottom of the first but no more. The Tigers (13-4), the regular-season runners-up, drew first blood in the top of the second against Reds starter Zach Grone, the winning pitcher in Tuesdays semifinals. Brock Klaus hit a grounder to second baseman Braxton Huttis; even with the rain from earlier in the day and a less-hard infield, the ball took a wicked hop and hit the face of Huttis and bounced into foul territory for a triple. Huttis was shaken up but could continue. Parrish tripled to the fence in right center to score the runner for a 1-0 edge. An out later, Parrish scored as Carson Muhlenkamp drilled a runscoring double to center to make it 2-0. He advanced to third but was left there. The Tigers opened up a 5-run margin in the third with a 3 spot. Cole Sevits started it with an infield single to short and stole second and third. Benjamin Mohler walked with one out. Collin Muhlenkamp got an infield single on a popup that scored Sevits and put Mohler at second. Back-toback walks to Dominic Hines and Josh Wiseman forced home Mohler for a 4-0 spread. Klaus bounced out to first to plate Muhlenkamp for the fifth run. Tyson Elwer walked with one down in the Reds third frame and a wild pitch put him at second but he was stranded. In the Tigers fourth against reliever Isaac Fairchild, Mattie Sevits walked with two down and stole second but was left there. The Reds finally got the zero off their side of the board in the home half against two relievers. Nate Buettner walked to lead it off. An out later, Huttis walked and Mueller was safe on an infield hit to load the bases. Fairchild walked to force home Buettner and end the brief pitching tenure of Carson Muhlenkamp (on the second visit to the

mound in the inning) for Collin Muhlenkamp. An out later, Logan Gallmeier bounced a single into center, plating Huttis and Mueller for a 5-3 deficit. However, a comebacker by Chase Martin ended the threat there. The Reds crept a run closer in the fifth. Grone doubled to the fence in right and advanced on a wild pitch. An out later, Justin Mox walked. Seth Brinkman forced Mox at second but beat the relay throw to first, allowing Grone to touch the dish to get within 5-4. Buettner walked but Desmond Ripley was retired to end the rebellion there. The Tigers scored what ended up being the game-winner in the sixth to go up 6-4. Hines walked and kept going to steal second. Wiseman walked. Klaus forced Hines at third. However, a wild pitch moved both runners still on base up a base and Parrish popped out to first. When the defense looked to double Klaus off second but not succeeding, an alert Wiseman headed for home and beat the throw for the 2-run margin. It got really interesting in the final half-inning of the game. Huttis walked and scored on a well-placed 1-out grounder to the fence in center for a triple by Fairchild. Ashton Moore bounced to short and an alert play by Carson Muhlenkamp, throwing home, nailed Fairchild as catcher Klaus did a great job blocking the plate and holding on to the orb for the second out. Gallmeier then hit a soft liner up the middle and Muhlenkamp ranged to his left to make a diving catch near the base to the end the game and seal the title.

Give expecting nothing in return

The saying Beware of Greeks bearing gifts is an old piece of wisdom which advises us to not trust our enemies, after the story in the Iliad of the Trojan horse, a gift that ultimately destroyed the city of Troy and its inhabitants. But there was also another reason to beware of Greeks bearing gifts, and that was that they always expected something in return, of comparable value. Gift-giving in ancient cultures was meant to be reciprocated and this carries over to modern times. But, a true gift should be something freely given without any expectation of return. If there is an expectation of a comparable return then we are really bartering rather than giving. So, we should give with a spirit of genuine charity, not expecting anything in return. Test your ability to give in this spirit by giving anonymously, so that the recipient wont know who it came from. This isnt always practical, but can sometimes be done by sending someone an anonymous gift through the mail or by arranging for an intermediary to give the gift for you, perhaps even allowing the intermediary to take credit for the gift. Wanting to be thanked for a gift is all about our ego, and while it is only natural to desire thanks, it is better to give expecting nothing in return. Christopher Simon

The Power of Words

Language is more than just words. Every language embodies a culture and reflects the primordial experience of the languages original speakers. Thus every language is a world view, but also the conditions of making experience intelligible. As Heidegger put it, Language is the house of being. The primordial, creative power of language is reflected in the Greek word logos which is often translated as word, although the concept of logos is much richer than the English word. Logos is the principle of intelligibility underlying things, but also the bridge between the spiritual realm and the physical realm. Words are concrete, audible and visible expressions of abstract concepts. A word is a materialized idea and thus the concept of Logos or Word was a natural idea to express and explain the second person of the trinity, i.e. Jesus. Understanding this gives one a sense of the sublime power of language to both create and to make the world intelligible. Christopher Simon

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. . . . But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.
Matthew 6:2-4

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
John 1:1-3

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, JULY 21, 2012 You could be luckier than usual in the year ahead, even though the victories you hope to reach might not come on your first try. Stay the course because chances are your second effort will be dynamite. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If you do not succeed on your first attempt, at least give yourself credit for what you tried to do. After patting yourself on the back, take a deep breath, regroup and try again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When your desires are purely materialistic in nature, gratification is likely to evade you. To get things back in proper balance, think of ways to enrich your soul and spirit, not just your wallet. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Friends usually do things for us out of affection, not in order to incur an obligation. I doubt yours will be any different. Try using smiles, not snarls, to induce cooperation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -One of the best ways to inhibit your progress is to take things too seriously. Conversely, adopting a philosophical outlook could put you in the winners circle. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of leaving an important matter to a friend who sometimes is known to be unreliable, take control of the situation yourself, even if youd prefer to do otherwise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful not to insinuate yourself with people who arent in harmony with your philosophy. If you do, you risk getting involved in something that you dont want to be part of. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you have a tricky assignment to take care of, analyze its potential problems well in advance. Otherwise, you could end up running around in circles without a game plan. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try not to be too possessive of someone to whom you are attracted. Be relaxed and generous, and good things could come about. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -In order to protect your interests and position, chances are you might have to do a bit of negotiating up front. It behooves you to focus on your strongest areas. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It will all depend upon your attitude as to whether you succeed or fail. When confronting a difficult situation, seek out its positive attributes and go from there. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is everything to lose when involved in high-risk ventures. Conversely, your chances of yielding a profit will increase by proceeding along prudent, practical lines. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although you might have to deal with a lot of uncertainties early in the day, as time ticks on, one by one they should gradually disappear, and youll get everything under control.

Syrian troops seize Damascus neighborhood

By ALBERT AJI and ZEINA KARAM Associated Press DAMASCUS, Syria Syrian troops regained control of a rebellious neighborhood in Damascus today as more than 300 people were reported killed the day before in a sharp escalation of the countrys civil war. Fighting has intensified over the past week as rebels closed in on the capital and launched their most serious blow yet on Assads inner circle, killing top aides in a bomb blast Wednesday as they attended a security meeting. National security chief and close Assad adviser, Gen. Hisham Ikhtiyar, died today of wounds suffered in the bombing, the fourth member of Assads inner circle to die in the blast, according to state-run TV. State-run TV also said today that government troops were fully in control of the rebellious Midan neighborhood on the southern edge of Damasacus, where fighting has raged for days. The fighting in Midan and several other districts has turned parts of Damascus into combat zones and sent thousands of Syrian families By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press packed in cars streaming across the border into neighboring Lebanon. Our heroic forces have completely cleansed the Midan area from the terrorist mercenaries, the TV said, employing the term used by authorities to refer to rebels. It said authorities seized large quantities of weapons including machine guns, explosive belts, rocket-propelled grenades and communications equipment. Damascus activist Khaled al-Shami, contacted via Skype, said rebels carried out a tactical retreat early today to spare civilians further shelling after five days of intense clashes between opposition fighters and regime forces. Eager to show that authorities were in control, the government took local journalists for a trip to Midan inside two armored personal carriers today. An Associated Press reporter on the trip saw scenes of destruction, including dozens of damaged or charred cars, stores with shattered windows, and the corpses of at least six young men on the street. One of them, near the Saeed Bin Zeid Mosque, appeared to have been shot in the chest. The Mosque of the Free, was written in red graffiti on the mosques outer wall. Garbage littered the streets, shops were closed and the streets were almost deserted. The violence in heavily guarded Damascus, seat of Assads power, pointed to an unraveling of his grip on power amid an uprising that began in March 2011 with peaceful protests inspired by the Arab Spring but became increasingly militarized as the opposition took up arms. Even though Assads powerful military remains mostly loyal suggesting a total collapse may not be imminent the rebels appeared to be making startling gains in recent weeks. Activists reported that 310 people were killed in violence nationwide Thursday, making it the single deadliest day of fighting since the revolt began. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the death toll included at least 93 government troops. Another activist group, the Local Coordination Committees said 217 civilians were killed Thursday. The figures could not be independently verified because of severe restrictions on journalists in Syria. Besides the fighting in Damascus, about

AIDS specialists aim to jump-start hunt for a cure

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

a half-dozen rebels took over a Syrian border crossing near the Iraqi town of Qaim on Thursday, said Iraqi army Brig. General Qassim al-Dulaimi. There are four major border posts with Iraq. Rebels overtook a Syrian army outpost near the Syrian-Iraq border after clashes that killed 21 Syrian soldiers, he added. In addition, amateur video posted online showed rebels taking over the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, where they stomped on portraits of Assad. The Associated Press could not independently verify the video because the government bars most media from working independently in the country. A Turkish official based in Reyhanli, on the Turkish side of the border gate of Bab al-Hawa, confirmed that the rebels had taken control of the frontier crossing, but had no information on the latest situation over on the Syrian side. Another official said Turkey has temporarily closed the border gate for security reasons. Both spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules that bar civil servants from speaking to journalists without authorization.

ABOARD THE USS NIMITZ Some 100 nautical miles northeast of Oahu in the Pacific Ocean, a fleet of U.S. Navy fighter jets slings from the deck of the U.S.S. Nimitz aircraft carrier, leaving thin trails of smoke on the tight runway. The operation, part of maneuvers involving several thousand sailors as part of the worlds largest naval exercises in waters off Hawaii, was at the center of a growing controversy involving defense spending and foreign oil. The dozens of air and sea vessels surrounding the Nimitz including helicopters, fighter jets and destroyer ships were running on a biofuel blend that can be substituted for traditional fuel without any engine modifications. Navy officials say using the alternative fuel helps the military address weaknesses. Operations that use more than 50 million gallons of fuel each month rely on petroleum, making the U.S. military heavily dependent upon foreign oil. Market volatility causes Navy spending to swing by tens of millions of dollars each time the price of a barrel goes up or down $1. Were not doing it to be faddish, were not doing it to be green, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said aboard the U.S.S. Nimitz on Wednesday. Were not doing it for any other reason except it takes care of a military vulnerability that we have. He added, One of the things you better do as a military is take care of those vulnerabilities. But the plan to use a 50-50 blend of alternative and petroleumbased fuel has hit a snag Congressional lawmakers who bristle at spending time and money chasing alternative energy at a time when defense spending is being cut and traditional oil is cheaper. The House planned to vote Thursday on its version of the $608 billion defense spending bill, which cuts $70 million from the Obama administrations request for domestic development of biofuels production, while adding millions for submarines and Navy destroyers that the Pentagon didnt request. The Senate Armed Services Committee last month narrowly passed an amendment to its version of the measure. The provision, pushed by Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, would prohibit military spending on alternative fuels if their costs exceed the cost of traditional fossil fuels. At the time, McCain said buying biofuel at $26 per gallon the amount the Navy spent last year for 450,000 gallons of biofuels for this weeks demonstration isnt in line with priorities of pursuing energy technology that reduces fuel demand and saves lives. Inhofe went further, saying the Pentagon should not be wasting time perpetrating President Obamas global warming fantasies or his ongoing war on affordable energy. The Navy, along with the U.S. Departments of Energy and Agriculture, is spending more than $500 million in pursuit of biofuels and other alternative energy sources like solar and geothermal. The nearly $12 million purchase on the fuel for the demonstration came at a time when the Navy was spending just below $4 per gallon for traditional marine and jet fuel, according to Navy energy officials. The price has dipped dramatically since then, but is expected to rise to about $3.60 by the time the next fiscal year begins. Mabus said the price of biofuels and other alternative sources will go down dramatically if the military makes massive purchases. Private industries, including the commercial airline industry, are interested and will join to help lower market prices, he said.

WASHINGTON For years it seemed hopeless. Now the hunt for a cure for AIDS is back on. International AIDS specialists on Thursday released what they call a road map for research toward a cure for HIV a strategy for global teams of scientists to explore a number of intriguing leads that just might, years from now, pan out. Todays the first step, said French Nobel laureate Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, co-discoverer of the HIV virus who also co-chaired development of the strategy. No one thinks its going to be easy, added strategy cochair Dr. Steven Deeks of the University of California, San Francisco. Some dont think its possible. The announcement came just before the International AIDS Conference begins on Sunday, when more than 20,000 scientists, activists and policymakers gather in the nations capital with a far different focus: how to dramatically cut the spread of the AIDS virus, what they call turning the tide of the epidemic, using some powerful tools already in hand. Chief among them is getting more of the worlds 34 million HIV-infected people on life-saving medications, so they stay healthier and are less likely to infect others. By itself, that is a huge hurdle. Just 8 million of the 15 million treatment-eligible patients in AIDS-ravaged poor regions of the world are getting the drugs. But Barre-Sinoussi, president-elect of the International AIDS Society, which hosts the conference, said that lifelong treatment, as good as it is, isnt the end-all solution and that science finally is showing that a cure could be a realistic possibility. The panelists refused to estimate Thursday how much this research would cost. But already, the National Institutes of Health has increased spending on cure-related research, about $56 million last year, according to a report in this weeks issue of the journal Nature. Scientists attempting cure research will

meet today and Saturday, ahead of the AIDS conference, to compare notes. And the new strategy won praise from Michel Sidibe, executive director of UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS. The previous generation fought for treatment, he said. Our generation must fight for a cure. Todays anti-HIV drugs can tamp down the virus to undetectable levels but they dont eradicate it. Instead, tiny amounts of the virus can hide out in different tissues and roar back if medication is stopped. That means theres no certainty of developing a cure. Im not sure we can, but were going to try, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIHs National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a recent interview. This virus is uncanny in its ability to be able to integrate itself into a cell, as a reservoir, and no matter what weve done so far, we have not been able to eliminate that reservoir. Yet one person in the world apparently has been cured: Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco, who in 2006 was living in Berlin when in addition to his HIV, he got leukemia. Brown underwent a blood stem cell transplant what once was a bone marrow transplant to treat the cancer. His own immune system was destroyed. And his German transplant surgeon found a donor who was among the 1 percent of whites who have a gene mutation that makes them naturally resistant to HIV their cells lack the specific doorway the virus uses to get inside. It worked. Brown has been off HIV medications for five years and is doing well, Deeks said Thursday. That dangerous and expensive transplant isnt a practical solution, but it has sparked a variety of research into other possible ways to eradicate HIV. Already, 12 early-stage studies involving small numbers of patients fewer than 200 people worldwide are under way, the international panel said Thursday. Results to see if any are promising enough to pursue should be out in the next year or two.

Russia, China axe Syria resolution

By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS Russia and China again vetoed a Western-backed U.N. resolution Thursday aimed at pressuring President Bashar Assads government to end the escalating civil war in Syria, sparking dire warnings of even greater bloodshed and spillover to the wider region. The 11-2 vote, with two abstentions from South Africa and Pakistan, was the third double veto of a resolution addressing the Syria crisis, now in its 17th month, by Damascus most important allies. The key stumbling block was the Wests insistence that a new resolution include the threat of non-military sanctions to step up pressure against Assads regime. The sanctions are under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which also includes provisions authorizing the use of force, but no force was authorized in the British draft. Russias U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the resolution should never have been put to a vote because the sponsors knew it had no chance of adoption. We simply cannot accept a document under Chapter 7, one which would open the path for the pressure of sanctions and further to external military involvement in Syrian domestic affairs, he said. The defeat leaves in limbo the future of the 300-strong U.N. observer mission in Syria, which was forced to suspend operations because of the intensified fighting. Its mandate, to monitor a cease-fire and implementation of international envoy Kofi Annans six-point peace plan, expires today. Britains U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, who sponsored the Western-backed draft, said he had circulated a new draft resolution that would extend the mission of the unarmed observers one last time, for a final 30 days. A copy of the draft obtained by the AP showed the mission would continue only if the council confirmed that Assads government had pulled artillery and heavy weapons back from the cities and sent his troops back to barracks. Pakistani circulated a rival draft that would extend the mission for 45 days, with the possibility of further renewals. After closed council consultations late Thursday, Churkin emerged visibly upset and said the British draft was imposing political conditions on the missions continuation. He said Russia would oppose that and would support the Pakistani text.

WASHINGTON The nearly 20 often-rambling emails that an Army psychiatrist sent to Yemeni terror leader Anwar alAwlaki painted a confusing picture. In some he was a believer intent on supporting terrorists and intrigued with the idea of U.S. soldiers killing comrades in the name of Islam. In others he was a man looking for help finding an appropriate wife. In the end, they werent enough for the FBI to identify Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a terrorist threat or, as it would turn out, as a man who now stands accused of the shooting spree at Fort Hood that killed 13 and wounded 23 others in November 2009. The emails attracted the attention of FBI and anti-terrorism task force agents in December 2008, and eventually prompted them to dig up Hasans personnel records and evaluation reports. But gaps in the bureaus systems, poor training, antiquated technologies and an underlying fear that approaching Hasan would reveal the ongoing investigation into Awlaki prevented the FBI from pursuing the matter much further. An independent review released Thursday by the FBI lays out a series of gaffes the bureau made as agents evaluated Hasans correspondence with Awlaki, and ultimately decided the Army major was not a terror threat. The report, by former FBI Director William Webster, concludes that FBI personnel made mistakes in their handling of intelligence information, but that no one person was responsible. We do not find, and do not believe, that anyone is solely responsible for mistakes in handling the information, Webster wrote to FBI Director Robert Mueller in a letter with the report. We do not believe it would be fair to hold these dedicated personnel, who work in a context of constant threats and limited resources, responsible for the tragedy that occurred months later at Fort Hood. Much was already known about the series of oversights and missteps the government made leading to the terror attack at the Fort Hood Army post, but the report revealed new details. The report describes the back-and-forth that went on between agents in Washington and task force members reviewing the emails in San Diego. The FBI in San Diego had been investigating al-Awlaki, a former San Diego resident, for his possible connections to the 9/11 hijackers. When agents saw emails between Hasan and alAwlaki, they asked the FBIs Washington office to talk to Hasans bosses. The Washington office said no. The agents in Washington told Websters investigators that an interview might have jeopardized the FBIs probe of Hasan by revealing that the bureau had access to his emails with alAwalaki. And, the report said, the FBI agents believed that an interview and contact with Hasans chain-of-command might jeopardize Hasans military career The FBI ultimately concluded that Hasans communications were in keeping with his research at the time, and as a result, no formal investigation of Hasan was opened. Hasan was writing a research paper about the effects of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Websters report says that al-Awlaki deserved scrutiny by the FBI in Washington beyond a simple records check and said it was a mistake not to have interviewed Hasan. The emails began in December 2008 and the last one was sent in June 2009. His first one laid out a question. What would Awlaki think of Muslims who have joined the military and have even killed or tried to kill other U.S. soldiers.

SOFIA, Bulgaria A man believed to be the suicide bomber who attacked a bus full of Israeli tourists, killing six others, had attempted to rent a car but was turned down because his ID appeared suspicious, a Bulgarian prosecutor said today. Authorities are looking for clues as to who the suspect was, using his fingerprints, his DNA and his fake Michigan drivers license. Security camera footage from before the attack showed the suspected bomber wandering in and out of the terminal, wearing a baseball cap over long hair, T-shirt, and plaid shorts, with a bulky backpack believed to contain the bomb. Israel was quick to blame Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah for the attack and a U.S. official told The Associated Press on Thursday night that Hezbollah was believed to be behind the attack. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a sensitive intelligence issue. Prosecutor Kalina Chapkanova said in a TV interview that before the attack that a man believed to be the bomber tried to rent a car in the town of Pomorie, near the site of the bombing. She said the owner of the rental agency described the man as having short hair, and become suspicious of his license and refused to conclude the deal. Chapkanova quoted the agency owner as saying that the suspect spoke English with a specific accent. The owner said that the man had a short haircut, while the photo on the license showed a man with long hair, Chapkanova said. The owner said that there was nothing suspicious in the behavior of the suspect. He has been very calm and even the failure of the deal did not upset him.
