zoo animals in
heat wave
COLUMBUS (AP) — A
major Ohio zoo is using
frozen treats, cool pools
and misting machines to
help its animals cope with
the current heat wave.
The Columbus Zoo —
home to celebrity zookeeper
Jack Hanna — was mak-
ing sure the animals were
comfortable on Thursday
as the local temperature
topped 90 degrees for the
fourth day in a row.
Gorillas were given
popsicles made of frozen,
diluted juice while a machine
fanned mist in their direc-
tion. Elephants played in
water at their compound,
and when the polar bears
got too warm in the sun,
they had a 65-degree pool
and ice blocks filled with
treats to help them cool off.
The zoo’s Lori Monska
says keepers throughout
the facility check on their
animals frequently during
hot weather to make sure
it’s not too much for them.

MIDDLE POINT— When
most people think of jelly-
fish, they usually picture
tropical bodies of salt water,
rounded by corn and bean
fields.
About six years ago when
Karla Hoying and her hus-
band Robert dug their pond
on their property in Middle
Point, they planned to accom-
modate goldfish and coy.
What they didn’t plan on was
tiny jellyfish popping up lit-
erally out of nowhere.
“When we put the pond in,

“For many, this
year’s wheat crop
was a pretty big
disappointment
in terms of yield.
The quality was
also poor because
of Wheat Head
Scab, which is
a disease that
caused the head
of the wheat to
not put out a full,

— Andy Kleinschmidt,
OSU-Extension,

So, all of the rain we had
through the latter part of May
and the first two weeks of
June enabled these diseases
to grow and hurt the plants,”
he said.
Wheat Head Scab also
contributed to a low yield

Since that day, Hoying has
contacted various biology,
zoology and natural resource
departments at universities to
find out how these fragile
invertebrates came to be in
her 13 foot deep coy pond.
“I called Ohio State and
talked to a professor of natu-

to not put out a full, healthy
kernel. In some cases, a scab
can cause some kernels to
be underdeveloped. In other
cases, the scab can cause
nearly the entire head to be
underdeveloped,” he said.
“So, low yield coupled with
reductions in price from qual-
ity lead to a pretty poor wheat
crop this year.”
Though there are feder-
al subsidies to help farmers
navigate the ebbs and flows
of nature, area wheat farmers
will have to look to the heav-
ens for a bailout.
“There is nothing avail-
able in subsidies that I know
of; most of the wheat farmers
also farm corn and soybeans,
so they would really like to
have a good year with those
crops. We have a lot of poten-
tial this year; some of them
got too much water early but
they can get a lot of recovery
if we just get rain about once
a week through the summer.
So, that’s what we’re hoping
for,” Arnold said.
He said his county will
have a small portion of
unused field this year because
nine inches of rain in portions
of May and June prevented
planting.
“We ended up with 5 per-
cent or better that did not
get planted because it got
too late to plant; they would

are common but rare,” she
said. “I asked him to explain
that because it made no sense
to me. He said they are com-
mon because we see them
every once in a while and
we know what they are, but
they’re also rare because you
never know when or where
they will pop up and they
rarely, if ever, pop up in the
same place twice. This makes
them very hard to study as
well, because once they hear
about a freshwater jellyfish
sighting, they are gone before
anyone has a chance to get
there.”
Freshwater jellyfish, tech-
nically called Craspedacusta
sowerbyi, have a very short
life cycle, progressing from
asexual polyps that lie in wait
until the body of water in
which they rest becomes the
right temperature, usually
around 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

Winners in free agency,
do Heat win on the court?

By BRIAN MAHONEY
The Associated Press
Another Big Three?
Big deal.
The news that LeBron
James is going to Miami to
join Dwyane Wade and Chris
Bosh will surely have some
anointing the Heat as next
season’s favorites.
Don’t expect many bas-
ketball people to be among
them.
“It’s not over with,” New
York coach Mike D’Antoni
said. “Nothing’s over.”
Miami has three of the
best players in the NBA but
it takes 12 to fill a roster. And
even if the trio keeps its word
and takes less money than
allowed, there still won’t be
much cash left for the Heat to
have many good choices.
Certainly not enough to
go sign their versions of Ron
Artest and Lamar Odom, who
helped Los Angeles pull out
Game 7 of the NBA finals
over Boston and its Big Three
of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce
and Ray Allen while Kobe
Bryant was struggling.
“I think whatever happens,
I don’t think anyone is going
to beat the Lakers anyway,”
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim
said. “When you look at what
the Lakers have, it’s really
hard to beat them. That team
is so good but if they continue
to get better and can stay
healthy, it’s not going to mat-
ter who you put together.”
Still, the Heat now have
a chance to do it, all because
they took a chance in free
agency and it paid off.
The best players almost
never leave as free agents in
the NBA, where the league’s
collective bargaining agree-
ment allows them to receive
longer contracts with bigger
raises from their own clubs.
Yet the Heat persuaded
both James and Bosh to come
to South Florida, even though
it could mean leaving about
$30 million on the table.
So perhaps this unprec-

edented shopping season,
where nine teams arrived in
July with at least $10 million,
could become the norm for
teams who believe they can
build a powerhouse without
having to stop in the draft.
“I think you do have to
go for it, if that’s your plan,”
said Orlando general manager
Otis Smith, who may have no
longer constructed the best
team in Florida. “You have
to plan accordingly and you
have to take a shot at it. The
worst thing that could happen
is he could say no and you
clear some room to get some
other people to fill.”
Once the euphoria from
James’ announcement wears
off and the partying stops
on South Beach, filling the
roster will be the next step.
The Celtics were able to sur-
round Garnett, Pierce and
Allen three years ago by
finding veterans such as P.J.
Brown and Sam Cassell who
were interested in signing on
cheaply for a shot at a title
and that’s likely what Miami
will have to do now.
“I’d tell you what I would
have done. My intention
would be to go out and find
out who wants to win a cham-
pionship, a proven player at
the end of his career, wants
to be on a championship team
and would take the mini-
mum,” said Knicks’ president

embassies and American con-
sulates abroad have personnel
who are specially trained to
provide a full range of Social
Security services, including tak-
ing applications for all types of
benefits, processing applications
for new or replacement Social
Security cards, and an array
of other Social Security busi-
ness. Americans in American
Samoa, British Virgin Islands,
Canada, and Puerto Rico may
obtain services directly from
Social Security field offices
located there. In other territo-
ries or countries, contact your
local embassy or consulate to
find out which office to visit for
your Social Security needs.
But before visiting or mov-
ing abroad, remember that the
most convenient office may
be in your own home. Social
Security’s web site is a valu-
able resource for information.
There are a number of services
and forms offered to people
living outside the United States
on our international operations
site. You can find it at www.

While you’re online, you can
read more about our interna-

there. From your doorstep to
the local office and back again,
you could spend a lot of extra
time taking care of your Social
Security business. Or, you
could choose to visit our online
office at www.socialsecurity.
gov and complete your Social
Security business in a matter
of minutes with no commute
whatsoever.
There are so many things
you can do at our online office.
For example, you can apply
online for retirement benefits.
Our web site makes it sim-
ple, allowing you to apply for
retirement benefits in as little
as 15 minutes. In most cases,
once you fill out the applica-
tion, you’re done. There are no
forms to sign and no documents
to submit. The direct link to
applying for benefits online is
www.socialsecurity.gov/apply-
online.
Not ready to retire yet, or not
sure? We have online resources
that can help you plan ahead
or make your decision. Our
Retirement Estimator will allow
you to enter different scenarios
to come up with the retirement
plan best for you. You can find
it at www.socialsecurity.gov/

Jobless claims fluctuate
as recovery slows down
By CHRISTOPHER
S. RUGABER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Labor Department
Applications for unemploy-
ment aid have been fluctu-
ating from week to week,
offering an uncertain view of
layoffs and the job market.
First-time requests for job-
less aid dropped last week to
their lowest level since early
May, the government said
Thursday, erasing increases
made in the last two months.
Still, economists say it’s
hard to detect a trend in one
week of declines. Initial
claims have seesawed for
several weeks and are not
much lower than they were
in January.
Elevated unemploy-
ment claims, along with last
month’s weak jobs report and
a struggling housing mar-
ket, have suggested that the
recovery is slowing.
“While the report is good
news, it would need to be
followed up by several more
weeks to suggest a pickup in
hiring,” Julia Coronado, an
economist at BNP Paribas,
said in a note to clients.
Meanwhile, the total num-
ber of unemployed Americans
receiving benefits is dropping
sharply because their aid is
ending. About 350,000 peo-
ple stopped receiving benefits
Marine Corps general to take
control of Central Command
By ANNE GEARAN and
ANNE FLAHERTY
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — nuances of fighting a compli-
Marine Corps Gen. James
Mattis has been picked to take
over U.S. Central Command,
the Pentagon announced on
Thursday.
Mattis would replace Gen.
David Petraeus, who is now
in Afghanistan as the U.S. and
NATO’s top military officer
there.
The shake-up comes as
the American public ques-
tions whether the fight in
Afghanistan can be won, and
the Defense Department is
reeling from losing its top war
commander — Gen. Stanley
McChrystal.
As head of Central
Command, Mattis would
oversee U.S. military opera-
tions in Afghanistan and
Pakistan, as well as across the
Middle East, including Iraq
and Iran.
Defense Secretary Robert
Gates told reporters that he
was impressed with the gen-
eral’s “strategic insight and
independent thinking.”
Mattis is a blunt-talking,
seasoned war veteran best
known for leading troops into
the bloody battle of Fallujah
in Iraq in 2004.
He is a bit of a surprising
Steele shrugs off Afghan gaffe
By KRISTEN WYATT
The Associated Press
G R E E N W O O D
VILLAGE, Colo. — In his
first public remarks since his
widely condemned comments
on Afghanistan, Republican
Party chairman Michael Steele
said Thursday he “ain’t goin’
anywhere” despite calls for
his resignation.
Steele’s appearance before
Colorado Republicans was
his first since he came under
fire last week from within the
GOP for calling the nine-year-
old conflict in Afghanistan a
mistaken “war of Obama’s
choosing.” The gaffe prompt-
ed criticism of Steele’s leader-
ship, and some calls to resign.
“Every time something
happens, people say, ‘Oh, you
should step down. You should
step down.’ The reality is,
that’s not happening, so stop
the noise on that,” Steele told
about 100 volunteers and state
GOP leaders.
Steele added that stepping
down from his post is a bad
idea with November’s gen-
eral election just a few months
away. “We have too much
work to do,” he said.
Although he didn’t apologize
in the week of June 19. Most
of them were cut off because
Congress has yet to extend
federal jobless aid.
estimates that about 1.7 mil-
lion have lost benefits as of
last week, after extended
unemployment insurance
expired in late May. Those
numbers could reach 3.3 mil-
lion by the end of the month
if Congress doesn’t pass an
extension after it returns from
recess next week.
During the recession,
Congress added up to 73
weeks of extra benefits on
top of the 26 weeks typi-
cally provided by states. But
Senate Republicans have
blocked efforts to continue
those extra benefits, citing
concerns about the size of the
federal budget deficit.
Initial jobless claims fell
by 21,000 to a seasonally
adjusted 454,000, the Labor
Department said Thursday.
The four-week average of
claims dropped slightly
to 466,000 last week. In a
healthy economic recovery
with rapid hiring, claims
usually fall below 400,000.
Claims are down from last
year’s peak of 651,000 in
March 2009 but are barely
below early January’s level
of 456,000.
A bigger concern is the
number of people who may
pick. On the one hand, Mattis
has significant ground combat
experience and is considered
an intellectual who grasps the
cated counterinsurgency.
But he is also known to
speak bluntly and off-the-cuff
— much like Petraeus’ prede-
cessor Gen. McChrystal who
was fired for speaking ill of
his civilian bosses.
In 2005, Mattis was chas-
tised by his superiors for
saying in a public speech in
San Diego that it was “fun to
shoot some people.” Mattis
was a three-star general at the
time, stationed in Quantico,
Va., when he told an audience
that some Afghans deserved
to die.
“Actually, it’s a lot of fun
to fight,” he said. “You know,
it’s a hell of a hoot. . . . It’s
fun to shoot some people. I’ll
be right upfront with you. I
like brawling.”
He added, “You go into
Afghanistan, you got guys
who slap women around for
five years because they didn’t
wear a veil. You know, guys
like that ain’t got no man-
hood left anyway. So it’s a
hell of a lot of fun to shoot
them.”
His comments evoked
laughter and applause from
the audience.
His boss at the time,
for his Afghanistan comment,
Steele affirmed his support for
the war effort and told the crowd
he is “foursquare, 1,000 percent
with these troops on the ground
... and that should’ve been very,
very clear.”
He also joked about his
outspoken nature, referring to
it as his “individuality.”
That individuality, he said,
“you know, from time to time
gets me in a little trouble, but
that’s OK, we understand how
that works,” Steele said to
laughter from the volunteers.
In his remarks captured
July 1 on camera and post-
ed online, Steele criticized
President Barack Obama and
his handling of the Afghan
war and suggested it can’t
be won. Republican officials
later confirmed Steele made
the comments at a Connecticut
fundraiser, which was closed
to the news media.
“If he’s such a student of
history, has he not understood
that, you know, that’s the one
thing you don’t do is engage
in a land war in Afghanistan?
All right? Because everyone
who’s tried, over a thousand
years of history, has failed,”
Steele said in the remarks last
week. “And there are reasons

lose benefits this month. The
tally of people continuing to
claim benefits plunged to 4.4
million, the department said.
But that doesn’t include an
additional 4.6 million people
who received extended ben-
efits paid for by the federal
government in the week that
ended June 19. That’s the lat-
est period for which data are
available.
Diane Swonk, chief econ-
omist at Mesirow Financial,
said many people losing
extended unemployment
may seek aid through Social
Security, food stamps and
welfare.
Other economists noted
that the end of extended ben-
efits could cut Americans’
incomes by as much as $41
billion, potentially reducing
consumer spending in the
coming months.
First-time jobless claims
might have been higher if
General Motors had imple-
mented its traditional summer
shutdown. The automaker
usually closes its factories
for several weeks in July to
retool for new car models that
it introduces in the fall.
Many autoworkers file
claims for unemployment
during that time. But the
company has said this year
it will skip the shutdown,
potentially lowering claims
over the next several weeks.
Gen. Mike Hagee, said that
the comments reflected the
“unfortunate and harsh reali-
ties of war” but that Mattis
had been asked to watch his
words in public.
Gates said Thursday that
appropriate action was taken
at the time. He also said he
raised the issue with Mattis
when interviewing him for
the job and was confident that
such statements would not be
made in the future.
“I think the subsequent
five years have demonstrated
that the lesson was learned,”
he said.
Adm. Mike Mullen, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, said he has been
impressed watching Mattis
interact with NATO allies,
most recently as Mattis served
as head of U.S. Joint Forces
Command.
In 2004, Mattis’ Marine
division led the assault on
Fallujah and he played a key
role in helping Iraqi security
forces negotiate with insur-
gents inside the city.
His remarks at the time of
the battle suggest his think-
ing is very much in line with
the counterinsurgency strat-
egy pursued by Petraeus and
McChrystal, which restricts
military operations in order
to win the support of the local
population.
for that. There are other ways
to engage in Afghanistan.”
“This was a war of Obama’s
choosing,” Steele said. “This
is not something the United
States has actively prosecuted
or wanted to engage in.”
Since the remarks, Steele
has drawn sharp criticism
from within the GOP, includ-
ing calls for his resignation
from some prominent conser-
vatives. Responding to that, he
issued a statement stressing his
support for U.S. troops but did
not acknowledge his factual
error about a war launched by
former President George W.
Bush in response to the terror
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Steele’s gaffe was not his
first. In the last year, he predict-
ed the GOP won’t win House
control this fall and criticized
fellow Republicans in a book
that party leaders didn’t know
about until it was published.
Republican Rep. Mike
Coffman, who attended the
Colorado event Thursday,
was asked by reporters about
Steele’s Afghanistan com-
ment and said, “I certainly
wasn’t happy about it.” But
after a private meeting with
Steele, Coffman said he sup-
ports him staying in place.

amateur Kelli Shean and three
others in the first round of the
U.S. Women’s Open.
“You said it couldn’t be

Lang said. “If you’re hitting
the ball good, you can for
sure shoot a low score out
here. But if you’re not on

Rolling in a 40-foot putt on
the 442-yard No. 15 to seize a

SEATTLE — Alex Rodriguez had a two-
run single in the ninth inning to give the
Yankees their first lead, and Mariano Rivera
closed out the victory.
The Yankees won their sixth straight
overall and season-best fifth in a row away
from home behind Andy Pettitte.
After Derek Jeter’s one-out walk in the
ninth, Nick Swisher had his fourth hit, a
double that sent Jeter to third. After an out,
Rodriguez fought off David Aardsma’s fastball
and pushed it through the right side of the
infield to give New York a 3-1 lead.
It was only the second time Rodriguez
got a hit off Aardsma (0-6). The other was a
decisive homer in the eighth inning a week ago
at Yankee Stadium.
Pettitte (11-2) won his third straight deci-
sion, pitching into the eighth and giving up one
run. He yielded five hits and struck out nine.

of them.
The Netherlands has squan-
dered all kinds of chances in
front of its net, often win-
ning by just a goal. It beat
Uruguay 3-2 in the semifinals
but the game was in doubt
far longer than it should have
been. Perhaps the best thing
you can say about the Dutch

a party in South Africa. No

an Oranje Crush of fans has
followed.
“We have been messy,”
Van Marwijk said. “We’ve
had spells with brilliant
attacks, yet we forgot to
score. That though, can

And all that really mat-

needed them, Spain and the
Netherlands have found ways
to score the big goals.

John Deere Classic
SILVIS, Ill. — Paul Goydos became
the fourth golfer in PGA Tour history to
shoot a 59.
Goydos put together his 12-under,
bogey-free round on the opening day. He
made the turn at 4-under, birdied all but
one hole on the back nine at the 7,257-
yard TPC Deere Run course and capped
Thursday’s sizzling round by knocking in
a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th.
It’s the first 59 on the tour since David
Duval went that low in a memorable final
round at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic.
Duval also was playing in the Deere
Classic, beginning his round in the after-
noon. The other 59s were by Al Geiberger
in 1977 and Chip Beck in 1991.
Defending champion Steve Stricker
shot a 60, making for the two lowest
scores ever in a single round at a PGA
event. And he just missed tying Goydos
on the last hole.
Michael Letzig, Matt Jones, Aaron
Baddeley and James Nitties all finished
at 7-under 64. Jay Williamson, Daniel
Chopra, Scott McCarron and Charley
Hoffman had 65s.
Scottish Open
LUSS, Scotland — Darren Clarke
upstaged fellow Northern Irishman
Graeme McDowell with a 6-under 65 to
take a 1-shot lead after the first round.
McDowell, returning to tournament
golf and his European Tour roots for
the first time since his win at the U.S.
Open, shot a 71 on a blustery day at
Loch Lomond.
McDowell birdied his final two holes to
finish alongside Phil Mickelson, who was
making his first appearance in Europe
since winning the Masters in April.
One shot behind Clarke were
England’s Graeme Storm and Italy’s
Edoardo Molinari, who both shot 66 in
milder morning weather, and Irishman
Damien McGrane.
John Daly, who won the British Open
in 1995, was just two shots off the lead
after a 67. In the group of six players
alongside Daly at 4 under was Japanese
teenager Ryo Ishikawa.
Johnson had three RBIs, including a
two-run triple in Arizona’s five-run fifth fourth
inning against Florida’s Anibal Sanchez.
Cole Gillespie added a two-run double in
the fourth.
Parra had three singles and a double
and scored twice. Stephen Drew tripled and
scored three times.
Brett Hayes hit his first home run of the
season for Florida, a two-run shot off starter
Rodrigo Lopez in the seventh inning.
Lopez (5-7) allowed four runs, three
earned, and five hits in seven innings for his
third victory in four starts.
Sanchez (7-6) lasted four innings-plus,
allowing six runs, five earned, and nine hits.
Dodgers 3, Cubs 2
LOS ANGELES — Rafael Furcal hit a go-
ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning to
lift Clayton Kershaw and Los Angeles.
Kershaw (9-4) struck out a season-high
12 and walked none in eight innings. The left-
hander allowed two runs and seven hits for his
second straight win.
Jonathan Broxton pitched a scoreless
ninth for his 19th save.
The loss snapped the Cubs’ three-game
winning streak, while the Dodgers won for the
fourth time in six games.
Furcal had three hits and got hit by a
pitch.
His 15th homer came on the first pitch
from Randy Wells (4-7) and gave the Dodgers
a 3-2 lead. Russell Martin, who led off with a
single, also scored.
Wells gave up three runs and six hits in
seven innings, struck out seven and walked
one.
Alfonso Soriano hit his 15th homer for
Chicago.

Faith, law and the ‘good death’

As the end of his life drew near, Pope Pius
XII began addressing complex medical ques-
tions that were personal, theological, practical
and scientific, all at the same time.
For example, how far could doctors go to
relieve a dying patient’s pain?
Months before his death in 1958, the pope
wrote: “Is the suppression of pain and con-
sciousness by means of narcotics (when it is
demanded by a medical indication) permitted,
by religion and morality, to the patient and
the doctor (even at the approach of death and
when one foresees that the administration of
narcotics will shorten life)?” His answer was
“yes,” if that was what it took to truly relieve
suffering.
Pius also knew that doctors were pondering
ways to apply ancient truths to issues raised
by new technologies, said Ian Dowbiggin,
author of “Life, Death, God and Medicine: A
Concise History of Euthanasia.” The historian
from the University of Prince Edward Island
spoke to media professionals gathered at this
week’s G8 “World Religions Summit” at the
University of Winnipeg.
Many of these puzzles remain, which is
why ethicists still study another 1957 address
by Pius to the International Congress of Anes-
thesiologists, in which he asked when it was
TERRY MATTINGLY

Religion
necessary to make extraordinary efforts to re-
suscitate patients.
The pope concluded that if it “appears that
the attempt at resuscitation constitutes ... such
a burden for the family that one cannot in all
conscience impose it upon them, they can law-
fully insist that the doctor should discontinue
these attempts, and the doctor can lawfully
comply. There is not involved here a case of
direct disposal of the life of the patient, nor
of euthanasia in any way: this would never be
licit. Even when it causes the arrest of circula-
tion, the interruption of attempts at resuscita-
tion is never more than an indirect cause of the
cessation of life.”
Dowbiggin stressed that Pius was already
engaging complex issues that continue to im-
pact debates -- in Canada, the United States
and elsewhere -- about legalizing physician-
assisted suicide. While this decade has seen
a “perfect storm” of conflicts about a “right
to die,” it is essential that citizens, clergy and
public officials study the history of euthanasia
before making policy decisions that will touch
millions of lives in the future, he said.
“There are deep moral and religious issues
at stake in debates about physician-assisted
suicide, which is why religious believers have
always been involved,” said Dowbiggin. “But
what we are hearing today are prominent
voices that say that religious people must keep
their ideas to themselves, because religion is a
private thing -- period -- and must not affect
public life. If that idea is accepted, that’s a ma-
jor step toward the acceptance of physician-
assisted suicide.”
The word “euthanasia” comes from two
Greek words that simply mean “good death,”
noted the historian. For centuries, Catholics
and others have argued that a “good death” is
one that is as pain-free and dignified as pos-
sible. Thus, religious groups have been at the
forefront of efforts to offer in-home hospice
care.
However, several trends have aided efforts
to legalize physician-assisted suicide, espe-
cially scientific advances that have increased
the “graying of America,” said Dowbiggin.
Thus, people are living longer, which also
means they are more likely to face lengthy
battles with cancer and neurological condi-
tions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
disease.
Rising health-care costs have also affected
“quality of life” debates. After all, as President
Barack Obama told The New York Times, the
“chronically ill and those toward the end of
their lives are accounting for potentially 80
percent of the total health-care bill out here.”
The stakes are rising.
Meanwhile, the Hemlock Society has
evolved into End of Life Choices, an organi-
zation that merged with Compassion in Dying
to form Compassion & Choices. Physician-as-
sisted suicide became the “right to die,” which
has now evolved into calls for a legal “self-
deliverance” option.
If religious leaders want to keep taking part
in these policy discussions, said Dowbiggin,
“they must have something positive to say. It
is not enough to just keep saying ‘no.’ ... They
need a vision of what the ‘good death’ looks
like. They need to say that this is the goal of
all end-of-life care -- people making informed
moral decisions about hospice and other forms
of care that are right for themselves and for
their families.”

Spy swap with Russia gives agents new life

By CALVIN WOODWARD
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Their U.S. ring dis-
mantled, 10 Russian secret agents are on their
way to a new life under Moscow’s wing in a
swiftly brokered trade also freeing four men
imprisoned for spying at the highest levels for
the West.
Both countries won admissions of crimes
from the subjects of the exchange — guilty
pleas in the U.S. and signed confessions in
Russia — and set in motion the largest known
swap since the era of Cold War spycraft.
The Russian agents were deported
Thursday night. The lawyer for one of them,
Vicky Pelaez, said the Russian government
offered her $2,000 a month for life, housing
and help with her children — rather than the
years behind bars she could have faced in the
U.S. The lawyer said Pelaez wanted to return
to her native Peru instead.
The 10 had blended into American subur-
bia, even with thick Russian accents in some
cases, and had been under watch for up to a
decade by the FBI. Their access to top U.S.
national security secrets appeared spotty at
best, although the extent of what they knew
and passed on is not publicly known.
In contrast, the U.S. won freedom for and
access to two former Russian intelligence
colonels who had been convicted in their
home country of compromising dozens of
valuable Soviet-era and Russian agents oper-
ating in the West. Two others also convicted
of betraying Moscow were wrapped into the
deal.
One ex-colonel, Alexander Zaporozhsky,
may have exposed information leading to the
capture of Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames,
two of the most damaging spies ever caught
in the U.S.
U.S. officials said several of the four freed
by Russia were ailing, and cited humanitarian
concerns in part for arranging the swap in
a hurry. They said no substantial benefit to
national security was seen from keeping the
captured agents in prison for years. Former
intelligence operatives agreed.
“This sends a powerful signal to people
who cooperate with us that we will stay
loyal to you,” said former CIA officer Peter
Earnest. “Even if you have been in jail for
years, we will not forget you.”
He said the U.S. gave up 10 “fairly light-
weight operatives” and “in return, we are
getting four people who were actually con-
victed of spying for the U.S. and Britain, by
Russia.”
The U.S. and Russia were acting, too, to
turn the page quickly on their episode and
improve relations.
In an elaborately drawn round of dealmak-
ing, of a kind familiar from the days of U.S.-
Soviet brinkmanship and crisis diplomacy,
U.S. officials met in Russia on Monday with
the convicted spies and offered them a chance
for freedom if they left their country.
Russian officials in the U.S. held similar
meetings with the agents captured by the
FBI.
Captives in both countries were assembled
from far-flung locations — the Russian agents
urgently brought to New York to enter guilty
pleas and prepare for deportation.
“The network of unlawful agents operat-
ing inside the United States has been dis-
mantled,” State Department spokesman Mark
Toner said. “No significant national security
benefit would be gained from the prolonged
incarceration in the United States of these 10
unlawful agents.”
Another piece fell into place Thursday
when Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
signed a decree pardoning the four after offi-
cials obtained their confessions.
The Kremlin identified the four as
Zaporozhsky, Gennady Vasilenko, Sergei
Skripal and Igor Sutyagin. Among them,
Sutyagin, an arms control researcher who
asserts his innocence despite the confession,
was thought to have been flown to Vienna.
In the U.S., the 10 suburbanites pleaded
guilty in a Manhattan courtroom to conspira-
cy to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign
country. An 11th defendant was a fugitive
after he fled authorities in Cyprus following
his release on bail.
The defendants — led into court in hand-
cuffs, some in prison smocks and some wear-
ing T-shirts and jeans — provided almost no
information about what kind of spying they
actually did for Russia. Asked to describe
their crimes, each acknowledged having
worked for Russia secretly, sometimes under
an assumed identity, without registering as a
foreign agent.
One, Andrey Bezrukov, smiled and waved
to a supporter in the audience and had an
animated conversation with another, Elena
Vavilova. Vladimir and Lydia Guryev, who
lived in the U.S. as a couple under the aliases
Richard and Cynthia Murphy, sat side by side
but didn’t speak.
Anna Chapman, whose sultry photos
gleaned from social-networking sites made
her a tabloid sensation, pulled back her mane
of red hair as she glanced around the court-
room. A burly deputy U.S. marshal hovered
behind her.

Officer convicted Missing boy’s dad says he suspects stepmom

in train station killing
By GREG RISLING and TERRY COLLINS
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Violent protests erupted in Oakland
with stores damaged and dozens arrested after a Los Angeles
jury convicted a white former transit officer of involuntary man-
slaughter in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man.
Prosecutors had wanted Johannes Mehserle convicted of
murdering 22-year-old Oscar Grant. So Thursday’s lesser ver-
dict raised concerns of a repeat of the rioting stemming from the
shooting on New Year’s Day in 2009 on an Oakland train plat-
form. The trial was moved to Los Angeles following the riots.
Police in riot gear Thursday had maintained a watchful eye
over a crowd of protesters as emotions ran high with about 500
people marching in the street. Members of a crowd near City
Hall moaned and cursed when they heard the verdict.
Sporadic violence later broke out and police made at least 50
arrests throughout the night.
At least a dozen businesses were damaged, including a looted
Foot Locker store and a ransacked jewelry store, police said.
Protesters also smashed the windows of a bank, set fires in sev-
eral trash bins, and detonated a small incendiary device near a
police station that caused no damage.
“This city is not the wild, wild west,” said Oakland Police
Chief Anthony Batts. “This city will not tolerate this sort of
activity.”
Though police did not release a damage estimate, the pro-
testing appeared to be much less severe than the rioting that hit
Oakland after Grant was shot.
Even though the protests wound down late Thursday, Batts
expected the number of arrests to double overnight.
During the trial, prosecutors said the 28-year-old Mehserle
became angry at the 22-year-old Grant for resisting arrest. He
was shot in the back while he lay face-down. Mehserle claims
he mistakenly drew his gun instead of his Taser.
The jury had a choice between second-degree murder and
lesser charges of voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. The
jury found that Mehserle didn’t mean to kill Grant, but that his
behavior was still so negligent that it was criminal. Involuntary
manslaughter convictions carry a sentence of two to four years.
During the trial, Wanda Johnson sat most days in the second
row of a Los Angeles courtroom less than 30 feet from the man
who killed her son. She hoped and prayed the justice system
wouldn’t fail her.
After the jury’s finding, Johnson denounced the verdict and
let loose emotions that had been mostly bottled up during the
three-week trial.
“My son was murdered! He was murdered! He was mur-
dered,” she said outside the courthouse.
As Mehserle was placed in handcuffs and taken away, he
turned to his family and mouthed, “I love you guys.”
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger issued a statement urg-
ing Californians to remain calm and not resort to violence.
Schwarzenegger said he had informed Oakland Mayor Ron
Dellums the state was well prepared to assist in maintaining
order.

The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — The father of a 7-year-old Portland
boy missing for more than a month told a judge he believes the
boy’s stepmother is involved in the disappearance, according to
a court document released Thursday.
The father, Kaine Horman, also said in his request for a
restraining order against Terri Moulton Horman that investiga-
tors told him that he had been the target of a murder plot by his
wife in late 2009.
The decision to obtain a restraining order late last month
“was based on a lot of information provided by law enforce-
ment,” Kaine Horman said Thursday. He declined to elaborate.
Before Kyron Horman’s disappearance on June 4, Kaine
Horman said his relationship with his wife was “a nice clean
slate, as far as I can tell.”
The court documents appeared to confirm a report Sunday
by The Oregonian newspaper about allegations that Terri
Horman had sought to have someone kill her husband several
months before the boy’s disappearance.
Desiree Young, the boy’s biological mother, said Thursday
at a news conference that she suspected Terri Horman’s
involvement soon after the boy was reported missing.
“I’ve known her a long time,” Young said. “I know she’s
lying.”
Investigators have not named Terri Horman as suspect or a
person of interest, but in recent weeks they have focused their
Presbyterians undecided over gays
By PATRICK CONDON

MINNEAPOLIS — A split decision from Presbyterian
leaders on two gay-friendly measures guarantees even more
debate among the U.S. church’s members on an issue they’ve
been divided over for years.
Delegates to the Presbyterian church’s convention in
Minneapolis voted Thursday for a more liberal policy on gay
clergy but decided not to redefine marriage in their church
constitution to include same-sex couples. Approval of both
measures could have made the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
one of the most gay-friendly major Christian churches in the
U.S.
Several major Christian denominations have voted in recent
years to allow non-celibate gays to serve as clergy if they are
in committed relationships. Among them are the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America, the Episcopal Church USA and
the United Church of Christ.
Fewer major U.S. denominations have taken the step of
fully endorsing gay marriage. Only two, the United Church of
Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association have explic-
itly allowed it.
Delegates at the Presbyterian assembly also shelved a
separate measure that would have removed the threat of pun-
ishment for clergy who perform same-sex marriages in states
where it’s legal.
Even the more liberal stance on gay clergy faces more
debate before it can become church policy. A majority of the
church’s 173 U.S. presbyteries must approve it. Two years
ago — after years of efforts by supporters — a similar measure
was sent out to presbyteries but died when 94 of them voted
against it.
Both of Thursday’s votes were close. Fifty-one percent of
delegates voted to shelve the proposal to redefine marriage as
being between “two people” instead of between “a man and a
woman,” just hours after 53 percent of them voted to allow non-
celibate gays in committed relationships to serve as clergy.
There is a slight possibility the delegates could take up the
marriage proposal again today — if someone who voted to
hold off on the matter moves to reconsider it, and supporters
muster enough votes to approve another debate.
Shelving the marriage matter means church committees will
spend the next two years reviewing the issue.
Supporters say Presbyterians have spent enough time mull-
ing it over.

butter in 1890 for patients requiring an easily digested

investigation on her. They distributed fliers asking for informa-
tion on her whereabouts the day the boy vanished.
A call to Terri Horman’s lawyer was not immediately
returned Thursday.
Police have said she was the last known person to see the
boy. She told police she left him at his school, about two miles
away from their home, after an early morning science fair.
A former teacher and ex-bodybuilder, Terri Horman had
become increasingly isolated from family members.
Late last month, Kaine Horman moved out of the couple’s
home in the countryside west of downtown Portland, filed for
divorce and got the restraining order against his wife — includ-
ing a provision that she not have access to firearms or ammuni-
tion.
That restraining order was unsealed by a judge on Thursday,
following requests by a coalition of news organizations, includ-
ing The Associated Press, that it be made public.
The order contained the first publicly released suspicion by
Kaine Horman that his wife was connected to Kyron Horman’s
disappearance.
“I believe respondent is involved in the disappearance of my
son Kyron who has been missing since June 4, 2010,” Kaine
Horman’s petition reads. “I also recently learned that respon-
dent attempted to hire someone to murder me. The police have
provided me with probable cause to believe the above two state-
ments to be true.”
His statement contained no details on how Terri Horman
might be involved in the boy’s disappearance.
DOJ reviews Mass. rulings
on fed gay marriage ban
By DENISE LAVOIE
The Associated Press
BOSTON — A judge’s rulings in Massachusetts that the federal
law banning gay marriage is unconstitutional could have implica-
tions far beyond the state if they’re upheld by a higher court after an
appeal by the Obama administration, legal experts say.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro said the law, the Defense of
Marriage Act, interferes with the right of a state to define marriage
and therefore denies married gay couples some federal benefits.
He ruled Thursday in favor of gay couples’ rights in two separate
challenges to DOMA, which the administration of President Barack
Obama has argued for repealing.
The rulings apply to Massachusetts, but if a higher court with
a broader jurisdiction were to hear an appeal and agree with the
judge’s rulings, their impact would spread, said Boston College
professor Kent Greenfield, a constitutional law expert. The rulings
might encourage other attorneys general who oppose DOMA to sue
to try to knock it down, he said.
“One thing that’s going to be really interesting to watch is
whether the Obama administration appeals or not,” he said.
An appeal would be considered by the First Circuit, which also
includes Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire.
The Department of Justice didn’t immediately say whether
it would appeal; it was reviewing the judge’s decisions, spokes-
woman Tracy Schmaler said.
Massachusetts had argued the law denied benefits such as
Medicaid to gay married couples in the state, where same-sex
unions have been legal since 2004.
The judge agreed and said the law forces Massachusetts to dis-
criminate against its own citizens to be eligible for federal funding
in federal-state partnerships.
The act “plainly encroaches” upon the right of the state to deter-
mine marriage, the judge said in his ruling on a lawsuit filed by state
Attorney General Martha Coakley. In a ruling in a separate case filed
by Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, or GLAD, the judge said
the act violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Pope names official to run Legionaries
By VICTOR L. SIMPSON
The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI today named a
senior Vatican official to run the scandal-plagued Legionaries
of Christ after an eight-month investigation of the order.
The Vatican announcement said Archbishop Velasio De
Paolis, an Italian who heads the Holy See’s financial office,
will serve as papal delegate for the Legionaries.
It is the latest in a series of moves aimed at shoring up the
church amid a worldwide clerical sex abuse scandal.
The order has been scarred by revelations that its late
founder sexually abused seminarians and fathered at least one
child.
It is not immediately known what will happen with the
cleric current running the order, the Rev. Alvaro Corcuera
Martinez del Rio. He met with Benedict last month.
The investigation of the order showed that the Legionaries
needed to be deeply re-evaluated and purified to survive, given
the enormous influence on it by its disgraced founder, the Rev.
Marciel Maciel, according to a Vatican report in May.
It said Maciel, who died in 2008 and had been supported
by the late Pope John Paul II, had created a “system of power”
built on obedience and deceit that allowed him to live a double
life with abuse going unchecked.
The Vatican continues to grapple with abuse allegations,
which began in North America but recently have spread across
Europe.
It is expected to soon release a document codifying instruc-
tions on dealing with pedophile priests. It is expected to also
crack down on priests who prey on mentally impaired adults,
sanctioning them with the same set of punishments meted out
for clerics who rape and molest children, The Associated Press
has learned.
