According to secretly
recorded telephone conver-
sations, the sooner Johnson
could pick up her pills, the
more quickly she could sell
them to her dealer. Her pain
pills were destined for the
street.
Johnson is among 33
people charged so far in a
large-scale investigation that
has opened a window into an
emerging class of suppliers in
the illicit drug trade: medical
patients, including many who
rely on the publicly-funded
Medicaid program to pay for
their appointments and pre-
scriptions. She has pleaded
not guilty.
For the first time, the
Buffalo investigators devoted
the kinds of resources nor-
mally aimed at street drugs
like heroin or crack — wire-
taps, buys, surveillance and
cross-agency cooperation to
trace the drugs from phar-
macy to street. Even they
were taken aback by the bur-
geoning market for the kinds
of pills found in medicine
cabinets in typical American
homes.
“I have to admit we were
sort of surprised at how
big this had become,” said
Charles Tomaszewski, for-
mer supervisor of the DEA
office. “The suburbs, the city,
there was no area that wasn’t
touched by this.”
Often at no charge, the
patients see a doctor, or sev-
eral doctors, and come away

they then sell to a dealer for
as much as $1,000. If they
are on Medicaid, the pro-
gram is billed about $1,060
for a typical 60-pill, 80-mg
prescription, along with the
$23-to-$39 cost of the doc-
tor’s visit.
“These patients, in essence,
become the source for the
drugs,” said Dale Kasprzyk,
acting head of the Drug
Enforcement Administration
in Buffalo.
“This is a lucrative under-
ground business for people.”
A report last year by the
Government Accountability
Office estimated that 65,000
Medicaid beneficiaries in
New York and four other
states had visited six or more
doctors in fiscal 2006 and
2007 to acquire duplicate
prescriptions for controlled
substances.
The cost to Medicaid was
$63 million for the drugs
alone, excluding doctors’
exams. The report examined
Medicaid abuse in New York,
California, Illinois, North
Carolina and Texas, high-
volume states in Medicaid
prescription drug payments.
OxyContin, a time-release
office in Buffalo illustrate
how patients are coached
about which doctors to see
and what to say when they
get there. Prosecutors, in
November court filings, said
plea agreements are being
negotiated.

DELPHOS — Because
intellectual development
plays a vital role in person-
al growth, higher education
is significant for individu-
als, families and society.
The road to college is one
many think is unaffordable
but an area financial aid
officer says high school
seniors and their parents
have options.
“The obligation to pay
for college is a shared part-
nership between the family,
the colleges and the govern-
ment. An investment is made
in young people because
society really benefits from
an educated citizenry,” said
University of Northwestern
Ohio Financial Aid Director
Wendell Schick. “We want
to try to remove the eco-
nomic barriers people think
are there when their son or
daughter becomes a high
school senior and they
he said. “There’s a web site
they can do that at; there
are a number of web sites
they will use throughout the
process. Parents and stu-
dents should start thinking
about the preliminary steps
now to prepare for the cycle
of events that includes fil-
ing the financial aid award
notice to get an award dis-
playing the money they
would get from the respec-
tive colleges they’re con-
sidering.”
Many families may also
need to go through the stu-
dent loan process, which
will also be covered in
the workshop. Schick said
the entire process takes
approximately 4-6 weeks
and involves several web
sites.
“This is something that
will occur throughout
their senior year in high
school until about mid-
April when they get their
financial aid award that
gives them their financial
options,” he said.

Clinic to cut
some charity care
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Tough economic times are forc-
ing the Cleveland Clinic to cut
charity care for some patients.
All Northeast Ohio Clinic
facilities will stop routinely
accepting uninsured patients who
can’t pay for treatments, aren’t
eligible for government assis-
tance and who live more than
150 miles away from Cleveland,
The Plain Dealer reported.
Clinic spokeswoman Eileen
Sheil said the changes will apply
to people who earn between 250
to 400 percent of the federal
poverty level. (A family of four
that makes $88,200 a year is
at 400 percent of the federal
poverty level.) Those who earn
less are eligible for other aid and
those who are more are expected
to pay.
The Clinic will treat some
cash-strapped patients who live
more than 150 miles away in rare
cases, but only after a referral,
Sheil told The Plain Dealer.
The changes will go into
effect Jan. 1.
This season, give the gift of the arts!

More than three dozen
new vehicles part of three-
year $150 million transit part-
nership pledge
COLUMBUS — Call it an
early Christmas present: as
part of the Ohio Department
of Transportation’s three-
year $150 million pledge to
assist Ohio’s transit agen-
cies, ODOT is directing $15
million to the purchase this
year of more than three dozen
“Clean and Green” buses and
transit vehicles across the
state.
“The demand for greener
transportation choices contin-
ues to rise, especially among
Ohio’s next generation,” said
ODOT Director Jolene M.
Molitoris. “In Ohio’s cities,
nearly two-thirds of all bus
trips are work-related, provid-
ing young people with access
to education, first-time jobs,
homes and a quality way of
life.”
In all, ODOT will help
transit agencies purchase
38 new vehicles, including
Clean and Green Vehicles for Ohio’s Transit System SFY 2011 Allocation:
electric-diesel hybrid buses,
cleaner ultra-low sulfur diesel
vehicles, and buses that run
on biodiesel or compressed
natural gas.
In October, ODOT identi-
fied additional federal trans-
portation dollars made avail-
able through significant proj-
ect savings and supplemen-
tary federal resources. With
those flexible federal funds,
ODOT targeted $50 million
to make immediate invest-
ments in transit, and pledged
similar funding in each of the
next two fiscal years.
Under this 21st Century
Transit Partnerships for
Ohio’s Next Generation, the
new funding is helping to pre-
serve existing transit services
by providing $25 million in
operational support, $15 mil-
lion in clean and green new
vehicles, and $10 million for
innovative new services —
all to better connect Ohioans
to job centers and new oppor-
tunities.

Senate showdown may
pave way for tax deal
By DAVID ESPO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate
Republicans derailed legisla-
tion Saturday to extend expir-
ing tax cuts at all but the high-
est income levels in a political
showdown that paradoxically
clears a path for a compromise
with the White House on steps
to boost the economy.
“We need to get this
resolved and I’m confident
we can do it,” President
Barack Obama said shortly
after the near party-line votes.
The public must have “the
peace of mind that their taxes
will not go up” on Jan. 1, he
added.
Obama has signaled that
he will bow to Republican
demands for extending tax
cuts at all income levels, and
his remarks capped a day that
lurched between political con-
flict and talk of compromise
on an issue that played a lead-
ing role in last month’s elec-
tions.
Sen. Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., eyeing the 2012 cam-
paign, accused Republicans of
siding with “millionaires and
billionaires” with their rejec-
tion of proposals that would let
tax cuts passed during George
W. Bush’s presidency lapse
on seven-figure incomes.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — ment age, cutting future ben-
President Barack Obama’s
deficit commission failed
Friday to forge consensus on
what to do about an increas-
ingly urgent debt problem,
but the breakdown of its vote
lays out the road map for
how Congress might address
it next year.
The 11-7 vote in favor of
the panel co-chairmen’s rec-
ommendations for a painful
mix of spending cuts and tax
increases foretells a bitterly
partisan and possibly unpro-
ductive debate in the House.
If there’s a deal to be had, it
will likely be reached in the
Senate. Fourteen votes were
needed to officially send the
plan to Congress now for
quick action on it.
About $4 trillion would be
slashed from the budget over
the coming decade — three-
fourths of it through spend-
ing cuts and the other fourth
from higher taxes. Deficits
over the period are estimated
in the $10 trillion range and
are expected to require the
federal government to borrow
up to 33 cents of every dollar
it spends.
Five of six senators on
the panel — two Democratic
allies of Obama and three
conservative Republicans —
US, South Korea reach highly coveted trade deal
By JULIE PACE and
KEN THOMAS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
U.S. and South Korea have
reached an agreement on
America’s largest trade pact
in more than a decade, a high-
ly coveted deal the Obama
administration hopes will
boost U.S. exports and create
tens of thousands of jobs at
home.
After a week of marathon
negotiations, representatives
from both countries broke
through a stalemate Friday
morning on outstanding issues
related to the automobile
industry, which have been
a sticking point in the talks.
The agreement would be the
largest U.S. trade deal since
the 1994 North American
Free Trade Agreement, or
NAFTA, with Canada and
Mexico and would bolster
U.S. ties with the fast-grow-
ing South Korea economy.
South Korea is agreeing
to allow the U.S. to lift a
2.5 percent tariff on Korean
cars in five years, instead
of cutting the tariff imme-
diately. The agreement also
allows each U.S. automaker
to export 25,000 cars to South
Korea as long as they meet
U.S. federal safety standards
and allows the U.S. to con-
tinue a 25 percent tariff on
trucks for eight years and
made no sense to raise taxes
on anyone in a weak economy.
Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., jabbed
that Democrats were undergo-
ing a “political catharsis” in
public after losing control of
the House and surrendering
several seats in the Senate in
the Nov. 2 election.
But the rhetoric subsided
quickly after the votes, and
Senate leaders in both par-
ties said they hoped political
clashes would give way to
compromise in the next sev-
eral days.
Kentucky Sen. Mitch
McConnell, the GOP leader,
said he was relatively con-
fident there would be a deal
with the White House “not to
raise taxes in the middle of a
recession.” He said talks were
continuing on the length of an
extension to be enacted for the
cuts that were put in place in
2001 and 2003.
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he
hoped for an agreement by the
middle or end of next week
on legislation that would com-
bine an extension of tax cuts
with a renewal of expiring
jobless benefits for the long-
term unemployed.
Officials have said that
in addition to tax cuts and
unemployment benefits, the
White House wants to include
renewal of several other tax
provisions that are expir-
ing. They include a break for
voted for the plan’s wrench-
ing measures, including rais-
ing the Social Security retire-
efit increases and rolling back
popular tax breaks like the
mortgage interest deduction.
But only one of the half
dozen House members on
the commission endorsed the
proposal — Democrat John
Spratt Jr. of South Carolina.
And he doesn’t have to face
voters in his district again;
they decided last month to
retire him from Congress.
No other House mem-
bers were willing to swing
behind the painstakingly
assembled proposal by
Democrat Erskine Bowles, a
White House chief of staff
in Bill Clinton’s presidency,
and former Republican Sen.
Alan Simpson of Wyoming.
Republicans Reps. Paul Ryan
of Wisconsin, Dave Camp of
Michigan and Jeb Hensarling
of Texas recoiled from tax
increases and said it didn’t do
enough to rein in skyrocket-
ing health care costs. Not one
of them even attended the
panel’s final meeting.
House Democrats Xavier
Becerra of California and
Jan Schakowsky of Illinois,
meanwhile, pressed for bigger
tax increases and less dra-
matic cuts to spending.
“The Bowles-Simpson
plan further erodes the mid-
then phase it out by the 10th
year. South Korea would be
required to eliminate its 10
percent tariff on U.S. trucks
immediately.
President Barack Obama
hailed the agreement as a
“landmark trade deal” that
would support at least 70,000
U.S. jobs.
“We are strengthening our
ability to create and defend
manufacturing jobs in the
United States, increasing
exports of agricultural prod-
ucts for American farmers and
ranchers and opening Korea’s
services market to American
companies,” Obama said in a
statement.
South Korean President
Lee Myung-bak praised the
deal as bringing huge eco-
nomic benefits to both coun-
tries and further boosting the
two nations’ alliance.
“This agreement is mean-
ingful in that it has laid the
basis for a mutual win-win
by reflecting interests for the
two countries in a balanced
manner,” Lee said in a state-
ment posted on the presiden-
tial website.
The White House had
hoped to strike a deal last
month during Obama’s trip to
Seoul for the G-20 economic
summit, but both countries
were unable to broker a com-
promise on issues pertaining
to trade of autos and beef.

make enough to pay the gov-
ernment, as well as for college
students and for companies
that hire the unemployed.
Key lawmakers and admin-
istration officials have been
at work negotiating the terms
of a possible deal for several
days.
But many congressional
Democrats privately have
expressed anger at Obama for
his willingness to surrender
to Republican demands to let
the tax cuts remain in place at
upper incomes, and numerous
officials said no compromise
would be possible until they
had engineered votes in both
the House and Senate.
Any deal would mean a
reversal for Obama, who said
in the 2008 presidential race
and this year that he wanted to
let cuts expire above incomes
of $200,000 for individuals
and $250,000 for couples.
In the Senate, a bill to
enact Obama’s original posi-
tion was blocked on a vote
of 53-36, seven votes short
of the 60 needed to advance.
Republicans were unanimous
in their opposition, and were
joined by Democratic Sens.
Russell Feingold of Wisconsin,
Joe Manchin of West Virginia,
Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Jim
Webb of Virginia and inde-
pendent Joseph Lieberman of
Connecticut.
dle class and threatens low-
income Americans,” said
Schakowsky.
The ink wasn’t even dry on
an earlier version of the pro-
posal before House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called
it “simply unacceptable,” a
move that Republicans said
undercut the panel’s work.
The plan would nearly
freeze the Pentagon’s bud-
get and cut spending outright
by most domestic agencies.
It would nearly double the
federal tax on gasoline with a
15 cents-per-gallon increase.
Income tax rates would fall,
but only by eliminating or
scaling back dozens of popu-
lar tax breaks, including the
child tax credit, mortgage
interest deduction and deduc-
tion claimed by employers
who provide health insur-
ance.
That recipe of shared polit-
ical pain is the type of sac-
rifice that budget hawks say
is needed in any bipartisan
deficit-cutting effort.
“People have to be willing
to embrace plans which actual-
ly lend themselves to compro-
mise ... the kinds of plans that
everybody’s uncomfortable
with but are the only things
that get support,” said Maya
MacGuineas of the Committee
for a Responsible Federal
Budget, a group that advocates
fiscal responsibility.
Ron Kirk and his counterpart,
Korean Trade Minister Kim
Jong-hoon, resumed negotia-
tions outside Washington this
week.
The agreement did not
address issues with the beef
trade. The U.S. had sought
greater access to the beef
market in South Korea, which
restricts imports of older U.S.
meat. A senior administration
official said discussions on
beef are ongoing. The official
insisted on anonymity to dis-
cuss private negotiations.
The wider agreement
would eliminate tariffs on
more than 95 percent of indus-
trial and consumer goods
within five years, a move that
the U.S. International Trade
Commission estimated would
increase exports of U.S.
goods by at least $10 billion.
The deal would also open up
South Korea’s vast $560 bil-
lion services markets to U.S.
companies.
Lee expressed hope for a
quick ratification of the deal
by the legislatures of the two
countries. Obama administra-
tion officials offered no time-
line for ratification on Capitol
Hill.
The South Korea deal
has been widely supported
by those in the private sec-
tor and the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, which has criti-
cized other administration
policies as antibusiness.

as the team’s dominant per-

“We will be graduating
21 talented and experienced
seniors from this team in the

Schulte concluded. “I am
optimistic for the future. I
have told the underclassman
that they are going to have to
fill those shoes but that is up
to them to decide what they
are going to do from there
and the work they are willing
to put in.
“They are going to have to

The Associated Press Dallas was nearly as effective with

The San Diego Chargers don’t lose
in December, when they prove they
own the AFC West. The Indianapolis
Colts usually clinch the AFC South
before Christmas.
On Sunday, both teams saw their
division title hopes take huge hits and
with wild-card aspirations farfetched,
their chances of making the playoffs
diminished, too.
Oakland, which snapped a
13-game slide against San Diego on
Oct. 10, swept the season series for
the first time since 2001 with a 28-13
victory. The Chargers’ streak of 18
straight December victories, which tied
an NFL record for most victories in any
month, came to a thudding end.
San Diego (6-6) had won four in
a row, but now is tied with Oakland in
a division Kansas City leads by two
games.
“Everyone was talking all week
long about the hottest team in football
and on and on,” Raiders defensive
tackle Richard Seymour said. “We
give them a lot of credit. They are a
good football team but we just under-
stand what we need to in order to beat
these guys. And we give a lot of credit
to the offensive line. We just wanted to
run it at them.”
Oakland did, piling up 251 yards.
Darren McFadden ran for 97 yards
and a TD, and Michael Bush rushed
for 95 yards and a score.
the run in stunning Indianapolis 38-35
in overtime. Dallas (4-8) rushed for a
season-high 217 yards and led most
of the way thanks to Peyton Manning’s
four interceptions, two returned for
TDs — by Sean Lee and Orlando
Scandrick. The Colts (6-6), undefeat-
ed at this point a year ago, fell one
game behind first-place Jacksonville
in the AFC South.
“We certainly have put ourselves
in a hole,” Manning said after Lee’s
second interception set up David
Buehler’s winning 38-yard field goal.
“Unfortunately, we have to score-
board-watch a little bit and that’s not
a situation you want to be in. I’m
disappointed that I’ve put our team in
a hole but we do have some division
games left.”
The defending conference champs
might need to win every remaining
game to get into the postseason.
Elsewhere, Brett Favre lasted
only one series in Minnesota before
damaging his right shoulder. Tarvaris
Jackson threw three picks but also hit
Sidney Rice for two scores in a 38-14
win against Buffalo. Favre sprained
his throwing shoulder after getting
crunched by linebacker Arthur Moats,
an injury that leaves the Vikings quar-
terback unsure whether he will be
able to start his 298th straight regular-
season game next week.
“If we were talking ankles or
NFL ROUNDUP
elbows, thumbs or something like that,
I would probably be a little more up
to date on how to deal with it,” the
41-year-old Favre said. “First time in
20 years I have ever done anything
like that, so it is kind of surprising.”

Miami 10.
On Thursday night, Philadelphia
beat Houston 34-24.
Tonight’s game is for AFC East
supremacy, with Jets and Patriots fac-
ing off in Foxborough. Both are 9-2.
Raiders 28, Chargers 13
At San Diego, Jason Campbell
ran for a touchdown and threw for
another as the Raiders overcame 13
penalties for 105 yards. The Chargers
had a season-low 286 yards in total
offense and Philip Rivers was sacked
four times.
“It’s obviously very disappoint-
ing we weren’t able to play at the
level we’ve been playing over the last
month,” coach Norv Turner said.
Cowboys 38, Colts 35, OT
At Indianapolis, four-time MVP
Manning finished 36 of 48 for 365
yards with two touchdowns and his
second straight four-interception game
as the Colts dropped their third in a
row. He’s thrown a career-high 11
ball.”
Dallas has won three of four since
Jason Garrett replaced Wade Phillips
as coach, but lost rookie receiver Dez
Bryant with a broken right ankle.
Vikings 38, Bills 14
At Minneapolis, Adrian Peterson
rushed for 107 yards and three touch-
downs on a gimpy right ankle for
the Vikings (5-7), who are 2-0 under
interim head coach Leslie Frazier.
Drayton Florence had two inter-
ceptions, returning one for a score, for
the Bills (2-10). But Buffalo committed
five turnovers.
Chiefs 10, Broncos 6
At Kansas City, Jamaal Charles
rushed for 116 yards and Matt Cassel
threw a 3-yard pass to Leonard Pope
for the only touchdown for the Chiefs
(8-4).
Knowshon Moreno ran for 161
yards for the Broncos (3-9), who are
enduring one of their worst stretches
in decades, losing 17 of their past 22
games under coach Josh McDaniels.
Steelers 13, Ravens 10
At Baltimore, the Steelers (9-3)
took first place in the AFC North when
Ben Roethlisberger threw a 9-yard
touchdown pass to Isaac Redman
with 2:51 left after Troy Polamalu
forced a fumble with a sack of Joe
Flacco. LaMarr Woodley grabbed the
loose ball and ran it 19 yards to the
Ravens 9.
After two incomplete passes,
Roethlisberger dumped a short toss
over the middle to Redman, who broke
tackles by Dawan Landry and Jarret
to Michael Jenkins as Atlanta rallied
from a 10-point deficit for its sixth
straight victory.
Ryan led his sixth fourth-quarter
comeback of the season for the NFC
South leaders, and the Falcons (10-
2) benefited from costly penalties on
the Bucs.
Rookie LeGarrette Blount rushed
for 103 yards and fullback Earnest
Graham threw a 2-yard TD pass to
John Gilmore for Tampa Bay (7-5).
Saints 34, Bengals 30
At Cincinnati, Drew Brees threw
a 3-yard touchdown pass to Marques
Colston with 31 seconds left, rally-
ing New Orleans to its fifth straight
victory.
The Saints (9-3) trailed for the
first time after newcomer Clint Stitser
made a 47-yard field goal with 4:25
to go, putting the Bengals (2-10) up
30-27.
Brees passed Archie Manning as
the Saints’ career passing leader ear-
lier in the game. Brees 42-yarder to
Robert Meacham got New Orleans
into field-goal range. On fourth-and-2
from the Cincinnati 7, the Saints tried
to draw the Bengals offside.
Lineman Pat Sims jumped, giving
the Saints a first down. Brees threw
his second touchdown pass on the
next play, sending the Bengals to their
ninth straight loss.
Jaguars 17, Titans 6
Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for
a career-best 186 yards and Rashad
Jennings and David Garrard each ran
for a touchdown. The win allowed the
a 61-yard touchdown broke open a
tight game in the third quarter.
Greg Jennings caught six passes
from Aaron Rodgers for 122 yards
and a pair of touchdowns for the host
Packers (8-4). Vernon Davis had 126
yards receiving and a touchdown for
the 49ers (4-8).
Seahawks 31, Panthers 14
At Seattle, Marshawn Lynch
rushed for a career-high three touch-
downs, Lofa Tatupu returned an inter-
ception 26 yards and Seattle used a
21-point third quarter.
Lynch scored on a pair of 1-yard
runs in the third quarter, sandwiched
around Tatupu’s interception of
Carolina rookie Jimmy Clausen. Lynch
added a 22-yard touchdown run in the
fourth quarter.
Carolina (1-11) dominated the
first half, but couldn’t hold off the
Seahawks (6-6).
Rams 19, Cardinals 6
Steven Jackson ran for 102 yards,
including 27 on the game’s lone touch-
down, and Josh Brown kicked four
field goals as St. Louis (6-6) won con-
secutive road games for the first time
in more than three years.
The Rams also ended an eight-
game losing streak against Arizona
(3-9), which dropped its seventh in
a row. St. Louis remained in a first-
place tie with Seattle in the weak
NFC West.

Wildcats and a strong defen-
sive effort by the Ottawa-
Glandorf Lady Titans led to
a 49-38 cage victory
on the part of O-G
Saturday afternoon
at The Wildcat Den,
giving the Titans
their first victory of
the season.
Kari Schroeder tallied 14
markers in the game, including
an 8-of-10 shooting perfor-
mance from the free-
throw line, to help
Ottawa-Glandorf
in this non-league
scuffle.
The hosts were led
by Nikki Kaufman’s
11 points; Emily Turnwald
added seven points in the
Wildcats’ effort.
“Kari came out and had
some nice penetrations for
us and we were able to fin-
ish some of those.” Ottawa-
Glandorf coach Lori Smith
commented.
The Titans controlled the
defensive boards in the game,
gaining a 23-16 advantage (33-
29 overall), while shooting
19-of-28 from the free-throw
line (68%); Kalida managed
to make just 6-of-15 attempts
from the stripe (40%).
The contest went back and
forth early before the guests
pulled away late in the first
quarter. Kylee Pothast nailed
a 3-pointer with 1:08 to go,
giving the Lady Titans a 13-9
advantage.
Schroeder scored five con-
secutive points for the visitors
to extend the lead to 23-16
with just over a minute to go
in the first half.
“If you have a good
defense, it gets your offense
basket from the paint to make
it a 29-22 contest with 5:24
left in the stanza.
However. the foul
shooting woes continued
for the LadyCats. In the
first half, Kalida missed
its first 10 free throws
and ended the first half
2-for-11.
“We work a ton on them
in practice but for whatever
reason, our percentage goes
up in practice but
it’s not translating to
games. We’ve had
too many games and
scrimmages where
we fall down and
come back,” Kaldia
coach Adam Huber said. “We
need to figure out what we
need to do in the first-half.”
The Titans grabbed a
37-28 lead going into the
final stanza and were paced
by Schroeder’s seven points
in the final eight minutes to
cap off their first win of the
season and send Kalida to an
0-3 mark.
Kalida forced 18 turnovers
to 10 of its own.

Iran, 6 world powers resume nuclear talks
By GEORGE JAHN
The Associated Press
GENEVA — Iran and
six world powers came to
the table today for the first
time in a year, exchanged
pleasantries, but remained far
apart on how deeply their
talks should tackle the West’s
greatest concern — Iranian
nuclear activities that could
make atomic weapons.
Tehran says it does not
want atomic arms, but as
it builds up its capacity to
make such weapons, neither
Israel nor the U.S. have ruled
out military action if Tehran
fails to heed U.N. Security
Council demands to freeze
key nuclear programs.
The long-term aim for the
six nations is nudging Iran
toward agreeing to stop ura-
nium enrichment, which can
make both fuel for reactors
and the fissile core of nuclear
arms.
Delegates from Iran, the
European Union, the U.S.,
Russia, Britain, France and
news agency said Jalili began
the meeting with a reference
to the slaying last week of a
senior Iranian nuclear scien-
tist “and a strong condemna-
tion of the terror act against
him.”
The attack, which left
another scientists wounded,
has burdened the atmosphere,
with Iranian officials linking
the West and the International
Atomic Energy Agency to
the assault.
Before the talks began,
the chief negotiator from one
of the six powers warned:
“Don’t expect much of any-
thing,” in a comment reflect-
ing the deep divide separating
the two sides. He also asked
not to be named because he
was not authorized to talk to
the media.
Iran’s defiance was high-
lighted Sunday when it
announced it had delivered
its first domestically mined
raw uranium to a processing
facility, claiming it was now
self-sufficient over the whole
enrichment process.
imported stockpile dimin-
ished and asserted that
Tehran did not have suffi-
cient domestic ore to run the
large-scale civilian program
it said it was assembling.
“Given that Iran’s own
supply of uranium is not
enough for a peaceful nuclear
energy program, this calls
into further question Iran’s
intentions and raises addi-
tional concerns at a time
when Iran needs to address
the concerns of the inter-
national community,” said
Mike Hammer, spokesman
of the U.S. National Security

Doctors testing warm, beating hearts in transplant

By ALICIA CHANG
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES —
Andrea Ybarra’s donated
heart was beating rhythmi-
cally by the time she awoke
from the grogginess of her
surgery.
Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-
dub. In fact, it was warm and
pumping even before doctors
transplanted it.
Ybarra belongs to a small
group of people who have
had a “beating heart” trans-
plant, an experimental opera-
tion that’s mostly been done
in Europe. The donor heart
is placed into a special box
that feeds it blood and keeps
it warm and ticking outside
the body.
“I felt peaceful when I
woke up. I wasn’t scared,”
recalled the 40-year-old
from a Los Angeles suburb
who suffers from lupus. “It
felt like the heart was a part
of me all the time.”
Despite advances in heart
transplantation, the way
hearts are moved around the
United States and most plac-
es remains low-tech.
A team of doctors and
organ recovery specialists
stuffs an off-the-shelf picnic
cooler with ice and jets
off at odd hours to a donor
hospital where a heart from
a brain-dead patient awaits.
They inject a chemical to
stop the organ and preserve
it in the ice chest for the trip
home.
Once a heart is harvest-
ed, it’s a race against time.
A heart can stay fresh in
the cooler for 4 to 6 hours
before it starts to deteriorate.
Because of this constraint,
doctors can’t travel too far to
heart-hunt.
It’s been done this way
for more than four decades,
ever since the first U.S. heart
transplant was performed on
Dec. 6, 1967.
Research has shown that
the longer it takes to remove
a heart and transplant it, the
greater the patient’s chance
of death or heart disease.
But what if a heart could
beat on its own after removal
from a cadaver?
It may sound a bit maca-
bre, more like an Edgar Allan
Poe story. The new high-tech
heart box circulates blood
from the donor to the heart
so that it continues throbbing
while in transit from hospital
to hospital.
Based on some success
overseas, the University of
California, Los Angeles is
currently heading an experi-
ment along with several
other schools that compares
the safety and effectiveness
of the new preservation
method versus the standard
cooler.
If the new technology
succeeds in preserving hearts
longer, it could change the
field, experts say.
No longer will patients
be limited by location.
Doctors could make cross-
country heart runs without
worrying about how long it
takes. Hearts are now given
first to people on the wait-
ing list who live near where
the donor is hospitalized. If
there’s no match, then the
circle widens until a recipi-
ent is found.
“The rush factor will be
taken out. I can go all the
way to the West Coast to
get a heart,” said Dr. Bruce
Rosengard of Massachusetts
General Hospital, who per-
formed the first beating
heart transplant in the United
Kingdom in 2006.
It may also potentially
help ease the organ short-
age crisis. Some 3,000
Americans are currently on
of being cooled in ice. And
if hearts can be monitored
outside the body, proponents
say this may help increase
the organ pool by allowing
less-than-perfect hearts to be
transplanted.
Ybarra’s surgery began
like any other. The call came
in to Ronald Reagan UCLA
Medical Center shortly
before 4 p.m. on Aug. 24.
There is a heart available.
Do you have a match?
The transplant team
dialed Ybarra. Her lupus,
an immune system disease
in which the body attacks
its own organs, had ravaged
her heart, leaving it enlarged
and weak. She desperately
needed a transplant.
The following day, a bri-
gade of doctors and techni-
cians set off before dawn
by limo to the Van Nuys
Airport to board a private jet
to the donor hospital in the
Palm Springs area east of
Los Angeles.
Since Ybarra signed up to
be part of the beating heart
experiment, she had a 50-50
chance of having the new
operation.
Before the team left,
a nurse practitioner drew
a card at random: Ybarra
was getting the experimental
heart transplant.
The doctors arrived at the
donor hospital at 6:20 a.m.
and cut open the patient’s
chest an hour later. After
inside a portable machine for
transport.
On the way back to
UCLA, the heart was closely
checked to make sure it was
stable.
In the meantime, Ybarra
was wheeled into the operat-
ing room and put under. She
was placed on a heart-lung
machine as doctors took
out her failing heart. The
new one was ticking near-
by. Surgeons re-stopped the
donor heart and sewed it into
Ybarra. As her own blood
coursed through, it began to
pound.
All told, the donated heart
had been beating in the box
for a little over three hours.
If a heart can survive out-
side the body longer than
the current limit, heart trans-
plants may someday be less
an emergency procedure
and more like an appoint-
ment that can be scheduled
— a convenience for both
patients and doctors.
“If you knew an organ
could be preserved, instead
of doing a transplant at 3
a.m., you can push it back
to 6 a.m.,” said UCLA’s Dr.
Richard Shemin, who per-
formed Ybarra’s operation
on his 39th wedding anni-
versary.
The world’s first beating
heart transplant was per-
formed in Germany in 2006,
using an organ box invented
by TransMedics Inc., a pri-
ing the UCLA-led experi-
ment, which will enroll 128
patients nationwide, ran-
domly chosen to get a beat-
ing heart transplant or the
traditional kind.
About 100 patients,
mostly in Europe, have had
a beating heart transplant,
according to TransMedics.
Early signs from two
European experiments
involving 54 patients are
encouraging. There has been
97 percent survival a month
after the operation and few
episodes of rejection and
heart-related complica-
tions. But since there were
no comparison groups in
either study, it’s impossible
to know whether a beating
heart transplant is actually
better.
The current U.S. study
is the first to test the methods
head-to-head.
Doctors admit some
patients are spooked by the
idea of a heart beating on its
own before the transplant.
“It’s very difficult to
remedy their anxiety. But
when you think about it,
the human heart was never
meant to be in a cooler on
ice,” said lead investiga-
tor Dr. Abbas Ardehali of
UCLA. TransMedics paid
his travel expenses to a med-
ical meeting, but he does not
have other financial ties to
the company.

Sailor remembers Pearl
Harbor attack 69 years ago
By AUDREY McAVOY
The Associated Press
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii
— The morning of Dec. 7,
1941, Yeoman 2nd Class
Durrell Conner was wrapping
Christmas presents aboard the
USS California when he heard
a commotion. Peering through
a porthole of the battleship, the
23-year-old saw an airplane
approaching low.
“He dropped something,
and as he banked away I saw
the red emblem of the Japanese
on his wings so I knew we were
under attack,” Conner said. “He
dropped the torpedo that struck
the ship right below where I
was standing.”
The battleship shook like an
earthquake, and the cryptogra-
pher rushed to his battle station
where he coded and decoded
messages for the California’s
commander. Since no messages
were coming in, he joined a
chain passing ammunition to
Marines and sailors firing guns
on the deck.
Another Japanese plane
dropped a 500-pound bomb on
the California, sinking the ship.
The vessel lost nearly 100 of its
1,800 officers and crew.
On Tuesday, Conner plans
to return to Pearl Harbor along
Hundreds attend hostage taker’s memorial
By TODD RICHMOND
The Associated Press
MENOMINEE, Mich. —
Hundreds of people showed
up Sunday for a memorial to
a 15-year-old Wisconsin boy
who held his social studies class
hostage before shooting himself
last week, setting aside the ter-
rifying standoff to remember
him as a quiet, helpful leader
who loved the outdoors.
Sam Hengel’s family held
the gathering in a school audi-
torium in Menominee, Mich.,
because they expected so many
supporters. Menominee lies just
across the Menominee River
from Marinette, Wis., where
Hengel held 26 classmates and
his teacher at gunpoint for near-
ly six hours.
Barb Post of Marinette, Wis.,
said she didn’t know Hengel’s
family but attended anyway to
show support.
“You care about the people
and the family, and you under-
stand it could happen to any-
body,” Post said.
Why Hengel took his class
hostage remains a mystery.
Gay marriage foes gamble on win in Round 2
By LISA LEFF
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The
defenders of California’s gay
marriage ban took a pummel-
ing during the first federal trial
to explore the civil rights impli-
cations of outlawing same-sex
marriages. They summoned
only two witnesses, one of
whom left the stand looking
thrashed. Even the lead attor-
ney was left groping for words
when pressed to explain how
allowing gays and lesbians to
wed would undermine tradi-
tional unions.
If the courtroom had been a
boxing ring, the referee would
have called a knockout.
Yet lawyers for the ban’s
sponsors say their side was
on the ropes for a reason:
They disputed that live testi-
mony and reams of evidence

with about 120 other survivors
for a ceremony in remem-
brance of those who died in the
Japanese attack 69 years ago.
About 580 family and friends
are due to join them, as are
several hundred members of
the public.
The Navy and the National
Park Service are jointly hosting
the event at a grassy site across
the harbor from the sunken hull
of the USS Arizona, where
1,177 lives were lost. In all,
some 2,400 sailors, Marines
and soldiers were killed in the
attack.
Conner, 92, attended the
annual remembrance for the
first time last year with his
daughter.
He so enjoyed the displays
of patriotism and tributes —
including the sailors who lined
the deck of the USS Lake Erie
guided missile cruiser as it ren-
dered honors to the Arizona —
that he’s coming back with his
wife, four daughters and their
husbands, and several grand-
children.
“The patriotic feeling that
everybody had — it was just
wonderful,” Conner said. “I
decided from then on, if I physi-
cally would be able, I would be
there every year.”
He reckons he’ll keep com-
Other students and his teacher
have said he was well-liked and
had many friends.
The standoff last Monday at
Marinette High School began
when Hengel returned to his
sixth-hour Western Civilization
class from a bathroom break.
He had two semi-automatic pis-
tols and a backpack jammed
with more than 200 rounds
of ammunition and a pair of
knives.
Students and police said he
immediately fired three shots,
blasting a hole in a wall and
tearing apart a film projector.
Students talked to him about
everything from hunting and
fishing to his favorite movies in
an attempt to keep him calm.
No one else in the school
apparently recognized the
sound of the shots as gunfire,
and Hengel told the teacher to
post a note on the door tell-
ing seventh-period students to
report to the library. As a result,
no one realized the class was in
danger until about a half-hour
after school ended, when a man
came to the school office look-
ing for his daughter.
were relevant to a lawsuit
against the voter-approved
Proposition 8, so they did not
provide it. In their view, the
proceedings were a “a show
trial,” and they were willing
to invite the unfavorable ver-
dict they eventually got while
betting they would win in a
later round where the ground
rules would be different.
“Something that has been
lost sight of is who has the
burden of proof in this case,”
Andrew Pugno, a lawyer for
Proposition 8’s sponsors,
said at the 13-day-long trial’s
close. “The burden is not on
the defendants and the people
who voted for Prop 8.”
That strategy’s wisdom will
be put to its first test Monday,
when a federal appeals court
is set to hear arguments in
Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the

ing back for a while.
“I play golf three times
a week. I hope to be around
for another five or 10 years,”
Conner said in a telephone
interview from his home in Sun
City, Calif.
This year, Conner will rep-
resent the California by laying a
wreath for his fallen shipmates
during the ceremony.
“It’s really quite an honor,”
he said.
Conner, who made a career
in the Navy after the war, said
he probably wasn’t as surprised
by the Sunday morning assault
as some of his fellow sailors
because he had recently decod-
ed a message from Washington
telling his ship to be on the alert
for a sneak attack.
His commanders, though,
didn’t envision they’d be fight-
ing airplanes. They expected
Japanese in Hawaii to some-
how sabotage them — some-
thing that never happened.
“Everyday I was wondering
’Well is it going to be today?’
— kind of laughing because I
thought they were being over-
cautious,” Conner said.
He recalled simply getting
to work when the attack began.
“I just took it in stride, tried
to do what was asked of me,”
said Conner.
Principal Corry Lambie
determined the last class the
girl attended was Western
Civilization and went to the
room to find the door locked.
When Lambie unlocked the
door, Hengel pointed his gun
at him and told him to leave.
Hengel allowed the girl to go
with Lambie.
The standoff dragged on for
four more hours, with teacher
Valerie Burd acting as a go-
between for Hengel and police.
A SWAT team stormed the
room after Hengel fired three
shots about 8 p.m., destroying
the classroom phone and hit-
ting a computer. Hengel shot
himself as officers reached him.
He died the next morning.
Flurries fell under an over-
cast sky Sunday afternoon,
adding to a feeling of gloom.
The line to greet the teen’s par-
ents and two younger brothers
stretched out of the auditori-
um and into the lobby, where
mourners gazed at collages of
photos depicting Hengel as a
small child, holding a string of
fish and paddling along on a
canoe trip with his family.

The coalition of religious and

Proposition 8’s passage two
years ago has asked the 9th

down the measure.
