Seminar to help veterans find jobs
BY ERIN COX Staff writer More than 1,300 veterans between ages 18 and 45 remain unemployed across the region. This high unemployment rate for those with current or prior military service has led to the creation of the Northwest Ohio Veterans Employment and Education Initiative. This is a seminar which promises to help veterans and their spouses understand the benefits available to them and become more marketable to employers. The event will take place from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Aug. 18 at the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center. Area colleges and vocational schools will provide workshops on writing resumes and cover letters, dressing for success and interviewing. The event will be lead by Randy Gasser of Fort Jennings. The United States Navy Reservist has been deployed five times. He also goes to school full-time and works full-time, so he understands the challenges veterans face when job-hunting. A lot of these guys would come home and work in factories but the factories just arent hiring in this area right now and many veterans are left unemployed, he said. A lot of veterans and those still in the military dont know what state and federal benefits they have and a lot of employers dont know the laws. We help teach the employers the laws for the Guard and Reserves. He wants those who attend to be able to leave the workshop and find a job. Were bringing all these resources together so the veterans can learn what they can Delphos, Ohio do to become more marketable and maybe even walk out of there with a job. The services that will be available to those who attend will allow them to be able to walk out with a resume in hand that civilian employers can understand the leadership roles they have taken on, he said. Gasser says veterans often have difficulty communicating prior experience to potential employers in the civilian world. Sometimes when people write what they did in the military employers dont understand what theyre talking about, so we will help them write it in a way that employers will appreciate the services theyve done. Employers can still sign up to come to the event by simply filling out a registration form. We want the veterans to learn what employers are looking for when they are hiring, Gasser said. Whether employers are hiring or not, they can still help by telling the veterans what they look for in employees, so the veterans can start getting the skill sets needed for when they do start hiring and jobs become more available. Gasser says the seminar will have plenty of resources See JOBS, page 2

Cops use bikes for incognito patrol

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Law enforcement officials often fight fire with fire in combating crime. Being almost as devious as criminals is sometimes necessary to catch lawbreakers in action. Because a lot of insidious behavior takes place in the dead of night, traditional police patrol is at a disadvantage. To counter a thiefs ability to spot a cruiser before being detected, Chief Kyle Fittro has instituted a sneak-attack. The department has four bicycles that enable bike cops to see and hear things they may miss while driving city streets. In addition, headlights tend to announce the officers presence to those who lurk in darkness. At 3 a.m., its so quiet. You can walk though peoples yards without them knowing it. You could be in someones back yard and hear a car two blocks away; you can also see headlights for several blocks, Fittro said. All you have to do is duck behind a shed and wait for it to pass but you dont hear a bike coming. The bike patrol officer can hear and see a lot more because he doesnt have engine noise and hes only moving 4 mph. If a couple guys are walking through an alley, he can hear the stones crackling beneath their shoes and go ask them what theyre doing out so late.

Betty Ford dies at 93

By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER The Associated Press

Vehicle break-ins and vandalism usually increase in summer, so the department is making good use of the extra patrol. Weve had the bikes out a lot during the overnight hours but we also use them during the day; theyre just more effective at night. I was at my kids ball game the other day and saw one of the guys come through the park on a bike, he said. It was nice to see and I overheard people comment to that effect. The public likes to see our bike patrol but they usually dont because we use them mostly at night to creep up on people who are out breaking into cars, garages, sheds and that kind of thing.

provided to me. After the former president died Dec. 26, 2006, at age 93, his widow said: His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country. They had been married in 1948, the same year he was elected to Congress. As she and their children led the nation in mourning him, Americans were reminded anew of her own contributions, as well as his. It was calculated then that the Betty Ford Center had treated 76,000 people. Its hard to imagine a more important figure in the substance abuse field than Mrs. Ford, Rick Rawson, associate director of the integrated substance abuse program at the University of California at Los Angeles, said at the time. She and her husband had retired to Rancho Mirage after he lost a bruising presidential race to Jimmy Carter in 1976. She went to work on her memoirs, The Times of My Life, which came out in 1979. But the social whirlwind that engulfed them in Washington was over, and Betty Ford confessed that she missed it. We had gone into the campaign to win and it was a great disappointment losing, particularly by such a small margin, she said. It meant changing my whole lifestyle after 30 years in Washington, and it was quite a traumatic experience. By 1978, she was addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs. She would later describe herself during that period as this nice, dopey pill-pusher sitting around and nodding. See FORD, page 2

While most of the country stood watch this week, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of pretty much everything. She was found guilty of lying to police officers. Whoopdedoo. A lot of people have lied to an officer. I didnt know I was going that fast. I didnt see the stop sign. No, I didnt put my seat belt on as you were walking up to my car. My husband and I (OK, really just my husband) have followed the case from the time little Caylee went missing more than 3 years ago. Nancy Grace is a staple on the TV in the bedroom, the one most watched by my hubby. I personally cant stand her and would rather have two forks stuck in my eye than watch her. To me, her voice is like two cats fighting. She also seems a BIT biased at times. She fits right in on HLN News and Views. For me, I want the facts, not someones opinion. If I want someones view, Ill ask for it. Otherwise, I want to make up my own mind. I guess thats how the jury felt, too. The familiar mantra it was like O.J. all over again. The police and prosecution knew something happened to Caylee, they knew Casey knew what it was and was more than likely involved, they just couldnt prove it. They couldnt prove anything. They had no DNA, they had no fingerprints, they had NO CAUSE OF DEATH. I would have been more surprised and concerned if the jury had went for the death penalty. After listening to the trial myself, I couldnt have convicted her on what the prosecution presented. Still, little Caylee paid the price. It will never be known how she died or why. So on July 17, Casey will be free and able to go about her life such that it will be. Anti-Casey web sites, Twitter and Facebook pages fill the Internet. I cant imagine it will be easy. I dont want it to be. Even if she did

she got away with it, too

On the Other hand

nothing wrong, she still waited 31 days to report her daughter missing. 31 DAYS!!!! Who does that? What kind of mother does that? Children die in accidents all the time. Harried parents forget their infant is in the back seat because they dont normally take the child to daycare. Little ones wander off because they cant be watched 24/7. Children get hurt, drown in swimming pools, get lost it happens. But how often do you hear of the parent keeping it to themselves for 31 days? They should have at least convicted her of a what-the-heck offense. Overall, our justice system works. Defendants get their day in court, the prosecution has the burden of proof and a jury of their peers decides their fate. Its not perfect. Some of the guilty go free and the innocent are sometimes convicted. But, in the long haul, it works. When it doesnt, people like Casey go free. Im going to keep watching to see what happens next. I want to know just how hard it will be for Casey to resume her party life. I think karma will give Casey a little justice down the line. She usually does, we just have to be patient. I just wont be watching it with Nancy Grace. Screeeeeech.

Ohio execution put on hold

COLUMBUS (AP) A federal judge on Friday delayed the execution of a condemned Ohio killer of two, agreeing with the inmate that the state enforces some of its execution policies haphazardly. Kenneth Smith was scheduled to die July 19 for the slayings of a husband and wife in their Hamilton home during a 1995 robbery. Smith and other inmates argue that Ohio too often strays from its execution policies by not always having the required number of execution team members present and not always documenting the mixing of drugs. U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost agreed, calling four areas where the state strayed from its policies an embarrassment and creating what he called haphazard application of its death penalty protocols. If appealed and upheld, Frosts decision would allow Smith to argue in an upcoming trial that the state violates the federal constitution with its uneven application of its rules for executing inmates. Frost did not rule on whether Ohios death penalty was constitutional. Smiths attorneys were pleased with the decision, saying Frost recognized the states practices were constitutionally disturbing.

As I got sicker, she recalled, I gradually stopped going to lunch. I wouldnt see friends. I was putting everyone out of my life. Her children recalled her living in a stupor, shuffling around in her bathrobe, refusing meals in favor of a drink. Her family finally confronted her in April 1978 and insisted she seek treatment. She credited their intervention with saving her life. I was stunned at what they were trying to tell me about how I disappointed them and let them down, Ford told The Associated Press in 1994. I was terribly hurt after I had spent all those years trying to be the best mother, wife I could be. ... Luckily, I was able to hear them saying that I needed help and they cared too much about me to let it go on, she said. She entered Long Beach Naval Hospital and underwent a grim detoxification, which became the model for therapy at the Betty Ford Center. She saw her recovery as a second chance at life. When you come back from something that was as disagreeable and unsettling as my alcoholism, when you come back to health from that, everything is so much more valuable, she said in her book, A Glad Awakening. Her own experience, and that of a businessman friend whom she helped save from alcoholism, were the inspiration for the center, located on the grounds of the Eisenhower Medical Center. She helped raise $3 million, lobbied in the state capital for its approval, and reluctantly agreed to let it be named for her. The centers name has been burden, as well as honor, she wrote. Because even if nobody else holds me responsible, I hold myself responsible. She liked to tell patients, Im just one more woman who has had this problem. Her efforts won her a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nations highest civilian honor, from the first President Bush in 1991. In October 1999: Gerald and Betty Ford both were awarded Congressional Gold Medals. She continued to be outspoken on public issues, pressing for fellow Republicans to be moderate on social questions. She spoke out in favor of gays in the military in a 1993 Washington Post interview, saying they had been serving for many years. During the Clinton presidency, Mrs. Ford praised first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying she had been with her at a meeting on health care and found her courteous, charming, able, attractive. ... She asks good questions. She picked out one of the most demanding roles she possibly could. In 2005, she was presented with the Gerald R. Ford Medal of Distinguished Public Service from her husbands foundation, telling the gathering that it was very, very special. She added in her typical candor: Its kind of all in the family, and I feel a little guilty about it. Mrs. Fords first public appearance after her husbands death was in August 2007, when she attended a ceremony near Rancho Mirage as a postage stamp honoring the late president was issued. She did not speak. She had not traveled to Texas for the funeral of Lady Bird Johnson the previous month. Elizabeth Bloomer was born in Chicago on April 8, 1918, and raised in Grand Rapids, Mich. She was talented in dancing and ultimately studied with the great dancer and choreographer Martha Graham. She also worked as a model to make extra money during the Depression.

STATE/LOCAL

On the banks of yesteryear ...

Recently, while cleaning out a room in the old Commercial Bank Building part of the Canal Museum, we discovered a letter dated April 5, 1938, addressed to the Delphos Can Company from a 13 year old boy in Alabama. Seems his grandmother had an oil can and liked the name that was on the label so well that she named her grandson after it. His name was Delphos Fulton. The letter was informing the company president, Elmer Werner, to save a spot for him because after he graduated he was coming to Delphos to work for the company that was the inspiration for his name. Mr. Werner was kind enough to answer Delphoss letter, telling him the company was now the New Delphos Manufacturing Company and giving him much encouragement. Makes one wonder how many CEOs today would take that kind of time. Fortunately for us, both letters were filed away and eventually made their way to our museum or there would be no story. But wait; the story doesnt end there. After a little research on the Internet, we were able to contact a Delphos M. Fulton in Sarasota, Fla.

Turns out he is the son of our original Delphos and goes by the name of Del. He was very aware of where the name Delphos came from, so the story was passed down. But wait; theres more. The original Delphos Fulton also had another son as well as a daughter. And the daughter named her son you guessed it Delphos. Delphos Fulton never made it to Delphos, Ohio, to get that job. He stayed in Alabama and became a mechanic and a truck driver. He passed away in 1998 but his name certainly lives on.

From the Delphos Canal Commission

The legacy of an oil can

Social Security Q & A

its of coverage. But people disabled at age 31 or older generally need between 20 and 40 credits, and some of the work must have been recent. For example, you may need to have worked five out of the past 10 years. Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability. SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME Question: What is the purpose of Supplemental Security Income, or SSI? Answer SSI is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people who have little income and few resources. It provides financial assistance to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. You can receive SSI even if you have not worked and paid into Social Security. SSI is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes). Find out more at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi/. Question: My brother recently left me some money. Will this inheritance affect my SSI benefits? 2932-3022adslicks5x4.125.r1 2/3/03 Answer: We consider the money inherited from your

Question: What is the earliest age that I can begin receiving retirement benefits? Answer: You can get a reduced benefit as early as age 62. Keep in mind that your monthly benefit amount would be about 33 percent higher if you wait until age 66 and nearly 80 percent higher if you defer payments until age 70. Visit our Retirement Estimator to find out how much you can expect to receive. You can find it at www. socialsecurity.gov/estimator. DISABILITY Question: How does Social Security decide if I am disabled? Answer: For an adult to be considered disabled, Social Security must determine that you are unable to do the work you did before and, based on your age, education, and work experience, you are unable to adjust to any other work that exists in significant numbers in the national economy. Also, your disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death. Social Security pays only for total disability. No benefits are payable for partial disability or short-term disability (less than a year). For more information, we recommend you read Disability Benefits (SSA Publication No. 05-10029), available online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.html. Question: What is the earliest age that I can receive Social Security disability benefits? Answer: There is no minimum age as long as you meet the Social Security definition of disabled and you have sufficient work to qualify. To qualify for disability benefits, you must have worked long enough under Social Security to earn the required number of work credits and some of the work must be recent. You can earn up to a maximum of four work credits each year. The amount of earnings required for a credit increases each year as general wage levels go up, and is currently $1,120. The number of work credits you need for disability benefits depends on your age when you become disabled. For example, if you are under age 24, you may qualify with as little as six cred-

brother income for the month you receive it. That could make you ineligible for SSI that month, depending on the amount of the inheritance. If you keep the money into the next month, it becomes a part of your resources. You cannot have more than $2,000 in resources to remain eligible for SSI. You should call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 and report the inheritance. Representatives can tell you how your eligibility might be affected. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. MEDICARE Question: Who is eligible for extra help with Medicare prescription drug costs? Answer: Medicare beneficiaries with limited income and resources may qualify for extra help. The extra help can save them money. It pays part of the monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments under the new Medicare prescription drug program. The extra help is estimated to be8 worth an average of $4,000 11:52 AM Page per year. Help someone qualify and apply at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp.

Obama: Uncertainty over debt limit impacts hiring

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON Facing a dismal jobs report, President Barack Obama called on Congress Friday to end uncertainty over their debt standoff and pass a litany of administration-backed proposals, including a payroll tax cut extension and three free trade agreements. Obamas top economist said implementing those policies would reduce the jobless rate a full point by the time Obama faces reelection in the fall of 2012. But Republican opposition and Washingtons heated partisan atmosphere would likely make passing the full slate of administration proposals a political pipe dream. Obama spoke from the Rose Garden shortly after the release of fresh figures that showed employers added just 18,000 jobs in June, the fewest in nine months, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent. The president said the numbers were yet another sign that a full economic recovery is still elusive. Our economy as a whole just isnt producing nearly enough jobs for everybody who is looking, Obama said. The jobs report comes against the backdrop of negotiations on cutting government spending and increasing the nations borrowing limit in order to prevent the U.S. from defaulting on its debt. Obama said the new jobs report adds fresh urgency to the talks, saying an agreement would end uncertainty that is keeping businesses from hiring. The American people sent us here to do the right thing, not for party, but for country. So were going to work together to get things done on their behalf, he said. Thats the least that they should expect of us, not the most that they should expect of us. White House economist Austan Goolsbee said internal administration forecasts show that the unemployment rate could drop by a point by the November 2012 elections if lawmakers take several steps, including extending the payroll tax cut, passing trade deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama, and creating an infrastructure bank. In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Goolsbee said passing those proposals would bring the unemployment rate to 8.2 percent by the fourth quarter of 2012. The White House has had to backtrack on its unemployment predictions before. Obama economists predicted the jobless rate would stay below 8 percent if lawmakers passed Obamas massive stimulus plan in 2009. Congress obliged, but the unemployment rate soared. Republicans used Fridays jobs report as an opportunity to slam Obamas economic agenda. President Obama is out of answers and running out of time, said former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a presidential candidate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Moderately confused

Washington A debt crisis is a terrible thing to waste in a presidential election season, and Democrats and Republicans alike are responding on cue. Latest to the fray is Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann. In a new Waterloo television ad running in Iowa leading up to the Aug. 13 straw poll, she promises she wont vote to raise the debt ceiling before even seeing the terms of the deal. Though Bachmann is the most outspoken among Republicans, she is not alone. Several members of the Republican Study Committee, headed by Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, have signed on to a Cut, Cap and Balance plan pledging not to vote for any debt ceiling increase without serious spending cuts, spending caps and a balanced budget amendment passed by both the House and Senate. Alas, this will never happen. A constitutional amendment has to pass both chambers by a twothirds vote (290 in the House; 67 in the Senate). Thus, the signees wont vote to increase the debt limit unless John Boehner and Mitch McConnell somehow magically convince 50 or so Democrats in the House and about 20 in the Senate to vote for a balanced budget amendment. The pledge is, therefore, an impossible standard. As a side note, Bachmann hasnt signed the pledge, much to the disappointment of fellow conservatives, including Sen. Jim DeMint. But Bachmann, who is establishing herself as the hardest of the hard right, told a South Carolina town hall meeting that the pledge wasnt strong enough because it doesnt also include a demand to repeal President Obamas health care overhaul. Objectively, however, Bachmann and others are

Point of View
missing the big picture. They may be stirring the hearts of tea partiers steeped in stubbornness (is there no end to tea metaphors?), but are they being responsible? What theyre missing (or ignoring) is the enormous opportunity for conservatives that has taken shape since the beginning of the year. Just a few months ago, Obama was asking for a clean debtlimit increase. That is, an unconditional hike without spending cuts and no reforms. Republicans responded by making clear that there would be no increase to the $14.3 trillion debt limit without fundamental reforms, including entitlements, and without spending cuts larger than the debt-limit hike, enforceable limits on future spending, and no tax increases. Fast-forward through a few months of intransigence and a few friendly rounds of golf and the conversation has become something much different. The presidents proposal for a deal that would save $4 trillion over the next 10 years through cuts to all major spending areas, including entitlements and the Pentagon, is otherwise known as a sea change. Of course, a quarter of that $4 trillion in savings would come from $1 trillion in new tax revenues, so the deal is far from perfect at this stage. Even so, in any other season Republicans would be staging parades. No plan will please all. Spokesfolks on both sides have made the requisite statements. Nancy Pelosi rejected cuts that would balance the budget on

the backs of Americas seniors, women and people with disabilities. Boehner insisted that he wont support raising taxes on the very people that we expect to reinvest in our economy. So the meeting scheduled Sunday among top leaders to reach an agreement or not will be a test of wills, but also of courage and of compromise. Few honest brokers think that we can prevent a financial catastrophe without both cuts and revenue increases, but there are surely ways to get there from here without necessarily punishing the weak or the strong. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, for example, has said he wont support raising taxes but is amenable to closing tax loopholes to create revenue. Democrats who resist any cuts to Social Security might find acceptable a suggestion to revise the way inflation is calculated in determining costof-living adjustments to beneficiaries. Where there are wills, there are ways. Meanwhile, not raising the debt ceiling is fraught with risks, not the least of which is creating greater uncertainty in financial markets in an already fragile recovery. Even prolonging raising the ceiling is potentially hazardous before a default happens, as investors take preventive actions that could distort the money markets. Republicans have made enormous advances toward government reforms that were viewed as unachievable a year ago. Voting no may have become the aphrodisiac of small-government conservatives, but it is not necessarily an act of bravery or wisdom. Sometimes its just stubborn.

Ohio State vacates 2010 football wins, Sugar Bowl

By RUSTY MILLER and ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS Ohio States 2010 Big Ten championship, its 12-1 season, its victories over rival Michigan and in the Sugar Bowl all gone. Coach Jim Tressel is out and so is star quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Left behind: two years of self-imposed probation. The question now is whether it will be enough to save Ohio State football from more severe penalties in an upcoming trip to see the NCAA committee on infractions. In response to NCAA violations committed by football players who traded autographs and memorabilia for cash and tattoos and by a coach who covered it up Ohio State issued its official response on Friday. Athletic director Gene Smith hoped it would appease the NCAA ethics police. The measures taken by the school included vacating all the Buckeyes wins from last season, a year in which Ohio State captured a record-tying sixth straight Big Ten title and won an unprecedented seventh straight game over Michigan. All I know is that this is significant, Smith said. A lot of people may not view it that way externally, but this is significant. When you think about all the other athletes who participated in those games, those records will be gone. ... Might the NCAA do more? I just cant speculate on that. Tressel found out in April 2010 that his players were taking improper benefits from a local tattoo-parlor owner. Despite contractual and NCAA obligations to report it, he didnt tell anyone at the university or the NCAA for more than nine months. And what was just a five-game suspension for five players suddenly blossomed into a major violation that included a coach knowingly playing ineligible players throughout the 2010 season. Coach Tressel acknowledged that when he received the information, he knew the players could not sell the memorabilia or receive preferential treatment, Tressel said through his attorney in response to the allegations. He also understood that the university policy called for him to notify the compliance office regarding possible violations. He has explained his thinking at the time, but offers no excuses here for his decisions. In a reversal, Ohio State which earlier said it had asked for Tressels resignation on May 30 said Friday it had now agreed to allow him to call it a retirement. The school also said he did not have to pay a $250,000 fine levied against him for his actions. On top of that, Tressel will receive the last month of his base pay ($54,000), has agreed to cooperate when Ohio State goes before the NCAA infractions committee on Aug. 12, and both he and the university agreed that they wouldnt sue each other. Just last month Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee vowed that Tressel will pay the fine. Tressels attorney, Gene Marsh, confirmed to The Associated Press earlier Friday that the former coach, who led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national title, would be on hand in Indianapolis when Ohio State gets its day with the NCAA. Smith said there was no evidence whatsoever that anyone at Ohio State other than Tressel had any knowledge of the players violations before January of this year. The response to the NCAA doesnt mean Ohio States woes are over. The governing body for college sports could still impose tougher sanctions, such as a ban on postseason play and a reduction in scholarships. The NCAA is expected to hand down its sanctions six to eight weeks after the August hearing. Even though many Buckeyes fans blame the schools compliance department for the violations, Smith said it had done its job. He promised adjustments to how athletes are monitored and educated, but said he was not displeased with compliance director Doug Archie or anyone else on his staff. He said compliance would use a lot of different strategies to do a better job. In arriving at the selfimposed penalties, faculty athletic representative John Bruno said Ohio State surveyed other cases. Weve looked at precedents around the nation for similar types of violations and sanctions that were imposed, either by the (NCAA) or selfimposed, he said. These seem to be quite consistent. The scandal unfolded in two stages. First, OSU officials were told of the memorabilia trading and sales in December and suspended five players for the first five games of 2011 and one player for the opener. They had frequented a tattoo parlor and had sold autographs, signed equipment, championship rings and even a bowl sportsmanship award all contrary to NCAA

Ohio Division of Natural Resources CENTRAL OHIO Deer Creek Lake (Fayette/ Pickaway counties) - This 1,287-acre lake southwest of Columbus provides good largemouth bass and crappie fishing. Fish shoreline cover and riprap for largemouths; throwing creature baits, tubes and crankbaits is popular. When crappie fishing, use a minnow suspended under a bobber around wood; these must be 9 inches or longer to keep. When fishing for catfish, using cut shad, shrimp or catfish baits can be productive. OShaughnessy Reservoir (Delaware Co.) - Saugeyes can be caught trolling worm harnesses and small crankbaits in the south end. Bluegill are being caught in the north end and on shallow flats of the lake using wax worms and nightcrawlers. Largemouths are being found lakewide around shoreline cover, as well as secondary points and riprap areas; try crankbaits, spinner baits and tube baits in morning and evening for best results. Fish for channel catfish in the late evening and night for best results; try cut bait, prepared catfish baits or chicken liver. NORTHWEST OHIO Sandusky River (Sandusky Co.) The water level is low and cloudy. Catfish are being caught anytime on worms or crayfish under a bobber, especially under the Ballville Dam. Raccoon Creek Reservoir (Sandusky Co.) The water level is high and clear. Crappie are being taken in good numbers on minnows under a bobber or by casting small jigs just before dark. Anywhere along the shoreline is producing great catches. Bressler Reservoir (Allen Co.) The water temperature is 81 degrees. Channel cats are biting on shrimp during the day; the best place seems to be around the boat ramp. Fostoria Reservoir #1 (Seneca Co.) The water temperature is 82 degrees. Largemouths are being taken by casting light green jigs during the day anywhere in the reservoir. NORTHEAST OHIO Rocky River (Cuyahoga Co.) This well-known site for steelhead fishing is producing quality smallmouth fishing right now. The Cleveland Metroparks owns 26 miles of river, providing excellent fishing access. Soft plastics and crankbaits mimicking crayfish have been the go-to bait. Cuyahoga River (Cuyahoga/ Geauga/Portage/Summit counties) 84.9 miles of river and several public fishing access points along the way provides some great mid-summer fishing action; it has a variety of different fish species and not knowing what might be at the other end adds an extra thrill to the experience. The hot bite right now is from the toothy northern pike; your best bet is casting spinner baits, crankbaits or top-water baits. SOUTHEAST OHIO Seneca Lake (Guernsey/Noble counties) Saugeye angling has improved this week with catches up to 22 inches, mostly on twister jigs tipped with a nightcrawler and fished on a slow retrieve along the bottom around the upper island and in Cadillac Bay. Channel catfish anglers are having good success from the shore at access points along SR 313, mostly using nightcrawlers and chicken livers. Ross Lake (Ross Co.) Bass fishermen are successfully using a variety of spinner and plastic baits. Bluegill are being caught on nightcrawlers and red worms under a bobber. Fishing for channel cats has picked up; try chicken

liver or nightcrawlers. Nighttime fishing for catfish is popular here and is a great opportunity to take advantage of cooler temperatures. Dillon Lake (Muskingum Co.) The water temperature was 84F over the weekend; anglers are pulling in the largemouths mostly in the 12- to 14-inch range on spinner baits fished along the bank near the dam. Dont forget about the bluegill and crappie that can be found as well; try using live bait, like nightcrawlers or minnows, and targeting areas around structure. LAKE ERIE Daily bag limit regulations to remember: Walleye - 6 fish, with a minimum size limit of 15 inches; Yellow perch - 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie; Steelhead - 5 fish per angler through Aug. 31, with a minimum size limit of 12 inches; Lake Erie black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) - 5 fish, with a minimum size limit of 14 inches. Western Basin: Walleye fishing remained slow over the past week. The best reports came from West Sister Island, Niagara Reef and W of Gull Island Shoal by trolling with divers and spoons, as well as inline weights with worm harnesses. Fish can also be caught by casting mayfly rigs or drifting with bottom-bouncers and worm harnesses. ... Yellow perch fishing was good over the past week. The best areas have been around the Toledo water intake, B can of the Camp Perry firing range, Rattlesnake Island, Starve Island, Ballast Island, Lakeside and E of the Kelleys Island airport using spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom. ... There have been good catches of largemouths reported from the harbors and nearshore areas from Catawba to Marblehead. Smallmouths have been caught around South Bass Island and Middle Bass Island. Central Basin: Walleye fishing has been good near the weather buoy at the N end of the Sandbar, at 72-75 feet N of Cleveland, 71-72 NW of Fairport Harbor, 62-70 NE of Geneva and 67-72 NW of Ashtabula using jet and dipsy divers with purple, blue and silver spoons, as well as worm harnesses. ... Yellow perch fishing has been good off of the condos between Vermilion and Beaver Creek, 41-43 N of Cleveland, 51-54 NW of Fairport and 60 N of Ashtabula, especially using perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom. Shore anglers are catching fish off the East 55th St. Pier in Cleveland and Headlands Beach Pier out at the lighthouse and Fairport Harbor Pier, especially using spreaders with shiners in the mornings. ... Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good in 15 to 25 around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut on soft-craws, leeches, dark green and red tube jigs, blade baits and crank baits. ... Steelhead trout fishing is beginning to pick up while trolling for walleye off Cleveland; try fishing down 62-72. ... Anglers are catching catfish and white perch in the Grand River. ... Anglers are catching white bass off the Eastlake CEI breakwall. Look for gulls feeding on schools of shiners at the surface; white bass will be below the shiners. ... According to the nearshore marine forecast, the water temperature is 73 degrees off of Toledo and 68 degrees off of Cleveland. OHIO RIVER Lawrence County - Channel cats and drum are being taken on chicken liver and nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. Flatheads are being taken using cut bait (shad, skipjack and small bluegill). A few hybrid-stripers are being taken on cut bait fished on the bottom tight-line style.

Lewis in lead when play halted at US Womens Open

By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Around the time Stacy Lewis was getting ready for her second round of the day at the Broadmoor, a brown bear shimmied up a tree, wrapped himself around a big branch and settled in for a snooze. For the players and everyone else at the U.S. Womens Open, Friday was, indeed, an energy sapper. Lewis made it through 29 holes on the mountain course before Colorados typical summer thunderstorms hit. She walked off at 4-under par, with a one-shot lead over I.K. Kim and Ryann OToole. Lewis, who won the Kraft Nabisco earlier this year, shot 3-under 68 in the first round, then after a quick stop for lunch, played the first 11 holes of the second round in 1 under. With the black clouds moving in and the wind gusting, she wasnt all that crestfallen to hear the siren sound. Part of me is definitely glad we stopped, she said. My legs were getting a little heavy there. There is never anything easy about winning a U.S. Open, and hitting good golf shots for 72 holes across the hilly Broadmoor, elevation 6,700 feet, makes it that much tougher, even under a normal schedule. But this weeks schedule will be anything but normal. Play was suspended Thursday with 131 players still on the course, or still waiting to hit their first shots. That set it up for Lewis and dozens more to play or at least try to play 36 on Friday. They finished their first rounds, ate lunch and quickly headed back out to the course. I walked back out here and the food hadnt kicked in and I was really dragging, said OToole, a qualifier whose biggest pro check is the $17,500 she cashed at a Futures Tour event earlier this season. Once it kicked in, I was fine. We played 28 holes today. I cant really complain. This gives us some rest. Its not going anywhere. Indeed, not a single player had finished her second round when the weather hit Friday, meaning the weekend will be a long one and a Monday finish is possible. Nobody will kick that weekend off in better position than Lewis, whose first career major came the hard way a win at the Nabisco in what was essentially a head-to-head, final-day matchup against the worlds top player, Yani Tseng. Tseng, trying to complete the career Grand Slam this week, struggled early in this one and walked off the course at 3 over, seven shots out of the lead with seven holes to play. She was paired with defending champion Paula Creamer, and a few minutes before weather stopped play, both Creamer and Tseng, playing downwind, drove the ball over the 339-yard, par-4

bylaws which prevent athletes from profiting off their name or fame. Then in January, the university learned that Tressel had known about the violations since April 2010. After backing him for weeks, the university pressured him to resign on Memorial Day. Smith said a continual drumbeat of revelations and allegations all but forced Ohio State to separate from Tressel. He said he was stunned when he learned of Tressels deception. In the moment, yes, I felt betrayed. Why not bring that to me? Smith said. But Ive gone on. Officials said Friday they believed theyd uncovered all possible violations by football players. You never know, but weve done a lot of due diligence, said John Bruno, faculty athletics representative. We looked weeks to months to find something else and nothing has come up. Pryor was among the original group of players who was suspended for the first five games of this year. But he left OSU to try his luck in the NFL soon after Tressel quit. The NCAA added a five-game suspension for yet another player earlier this week. The current Buckeyes almost seem to be expecting more severe penalties. Were only promised 12 games, safety Orhian Johnson said this week. Interim coach Luke Fickell said his players, in the midst of summer conditioning, have accepted many of the changes he has implemented in the program but no one knows how theyll respond when the sanctions are finalized. I think theyre buying in but you dont know, he said. Until other adversity and other situations happen, youll see what happens.

CLEVELAND (AP) Travis Snider drove in five runs and Rajai Davis knocked in four as the Toronto Blue Jays rebounded a day after a stunning loss to beat the Cleveland Indians 11-7 on Friday night. Jo-Jo Reyes (4-7) pitched 5 2-3 shaky innings for his first win in his last four starts. He gave up three unearned runs, eight hits and two walks without a strikeout as Cleveland left 12 men on base and couldnt build momentum off its exciting win Thursday night on Travis Hafners walkoff grand slam. Davis had a two-run single in the second and singled home a run in the fourth off Mitch Talbot (2-6). Sniders two-run shot off Talbot in the sixth made it 7-2. He added a two-run double off the fence in center against Vinnie Pestano for an 11-6

lead. Cleveland got within 9-6 in the eighth. Asdrubal Cabrera hit the fourth consecutive single off Shawn Camp to make it 9-4. Jason Frasor came on to strike out Hafner on four pitches, dropping the slugger to 0 for 7 lifetime against the reliever. Travis Buck, however, lined a tworun double before Frasor got two outs to leave runners on second and third. The AL Central-leading Indians went 6 for 22 with runners in scoring position. Edwin Encarnacion had four hits for the Blue Jays, who won for the fourth time in 12 games. Talbot gave up 11 hits and eight runs over 5 1-3 innings. He is 0-5 in seven starts since winning in Toronto on May 31. The right-hander has been rocked for 27 runs in his last 24 2-3 innings, a 9.85 ERA. Toronto took a 3-0 lead in the second, loading the bases on two singles around a walk. One run scored on a groundout by Snider. Talbot struck out J.P. Arencibia, then yielded a two-run single to Davis. Cleveland made it 3-2 in the bottom half after third baseman Jose Bautistas throwing error opened the door. Jack Hannahan had an RBI single, the first of his three hits. Another run scored on a groundout by Michael Brantley, who had four hits. Davis had an RBI single and scored from first on Yunel Escobars double to the wall in right in the

second hole. Creamer got up and down for a birdie that put her at 1 under, one of only 10 players in red numbers. Lewis, meanwhile, was among the few figuring out the greens on a course where players have trouble believing what they see; every putt, even the uphill ones, speed away from the Will Rogers Monument on nearby Cheyenne Mountain. Im just staying patient, hitting a lot of good shots, Lewis said. Ive made a couple mistakes but Im playing well. On the greens, Im seeing the lines really well and my speed has been good all week. Two shots behind is amateur Amy Anderson, who played six holes early Friday, then left the course, knowing her second round wouldnt begin until at least Saturday morning. Its exciting; hasnt sunk in, said Anderson, a secondteam All-American at North Dakota State. To me, its felt like another tournament, just on the tour.

fourth. In the sixth, Davis reached on a fielders choice and stole second. He also stole third and scored when third baseman Hannahan couldnt handle the throw from catcher Lou Marson for an error. Cleveland got within 8-3 in the sixth when first baseman Adam Lind misplayed a sharp grounder down the line by Hafner, scoring Brantley from second. Octavio Dotel came on with runners on the corners and got out of it with a fine play by shortstop Escobar. Buck, pinch-hitting for Shelley Duncan, poked a ball between third and short. Escobar backhanded it as he skidded to a stop, then made a strong throw to first to end the brief rally. Davis had an RBI double in the eighth for his second four-RBI game this season, one off his career best.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Sunday, July 10, 2011 Some new friends you make in the next year are likely to infuse a fresh vitality into your social interests. If youre looking to make a romantic attachment, its a good time to get out and mingle. Keep your eyes open, and be available. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -One of your better attributes is being able to manage difficult developments that unnerve others. This talent will make you a star. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- In your own quiet way, you could have a strong influence over someone with whom you are close. You might be the one who is able to steer him or her in a more positive direction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You could be unusually lucky in having everything go your way, so why not focus your efforts on something new that has caught your fancy lately? If you dont try, youll never know. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Even if this isnt a workday for you, you might still be able to make some extra money taking an educated gamble on something financial. Its what you know thatll make you a winner. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Concern yourself with things that could have a favorable effect on your future, rather than concentrating merely on the immediate. Its a good time to plan for what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You could be invited to take part in something new that another has going for him or herself. If you know whats being offered, you wont look a gift horse in the mouth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A couple of friends whom youve been closely involved with lately are grateful for the way youve treated them, and may have something very nice in mind for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre in a very good achievement cycle, so engage yourself in something that can make you a winner. Know that you can attain anything to which you set your mind. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Because conditions are exceptionally favorable for you, you should be able to successfully advance a particularly important personal interest. At least give it a try. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont get upset over some change of plans triggered by shifting conditions that might occur today, because youll tend to benefit from them. Ride the tide all the way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- As long as you dont split hairs over trivialities, you and all the other parties involved should benefit from some kind of verbal agreement into which you enter. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you understand that free rides arent being given away and you are prepared to work hard for something you want badly, your potential for getting it is pretty good. Monday, July 11, 2011 You are likely to pick up an interest for several new avocations during the next year. One, or perhaps even two, could generate a second source of income that may be beyond what you ever thought possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -This should be a good day for you, because overall conditions look pleasantly favorable whether you are involved in a material matter or in something of a personal nature. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The new week brings fresh thinking and a solution for something you couldnt figure out how to do last week, and which might now become clear as a bell to you. Act on it immediately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A happier and more successful week could be in store for you if you plan something out of the ordinary that doesnt include those who insist on running things. Itll be fun being your own person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Although sometimes you prefer to act independently of others, you wont feel like that right now. Greater benefits can be derived from activities you share with friends or associates. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Your profitable possibilities can be great if you have the good sense to strike while the iron is hot. Dont let matters of financial significance drag on any longer then they have to. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Regardless of where you go and whomever you run into, your popularity is likely to soar. Its your inner feelings of friendliness that people will be drawn to. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There is a strong likelihood that chance will play a critical role in your financial affairs. It behooves you to stay on your toes and watch for money-making opportunities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Some special information to which you become privy could be exceptionally fortunate when put to constructive use. It behooves you to act promptly while these conditions prevail. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Although a matter of significance is likely to be controlled by another, should you be asked to help develop it, youll have a chance to work your way into sharing in its benefits. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Nothing will make you happier than doing what you can for loved ones in order to fulfill their needs. Youll do everything possible to make their lives easier. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Although you can tend to be a loner at times, today itll be some kind of partnership arrangement that will bring you a sense of fulfillment. Team up whenever you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Do not underestimate what you do for others, whether it is performing some kind of complicated task or simply doing someone a favor. Your talents and efforts will be greatly appreciated.

South Sudan now a nation, UN troops on the way

By MAGGIE FICK Associated Press JUBA, South Sudan South Sudan became the worlds newest nation early today, officially breaking away from Sudan after two civil wars over five decades that cost the lives of millions. In the new countrys capital, Juba, streets pulsed with excitement. Residents danced, banged on jerry cans and chanted the name of the worlds newest president, Salva Kiir. One man kneeled and kissed the ground as a group ran through the streets singing We will never, never, never surrender. Ah, Im free, said Daniel Deng, a 27-year-old police officer and former soldier who broke out in a wide grin. The Republic of South Sudan earned independence at 12:01 a.m. today, breaking Africas largest country in two. It marked the culmination of a January independence vote, which was guaranteed in a 2005 peace deal that ended the most recent north-south war. After the celebrations die down, residents of South Sudan face an uphill climb. While the new country is oilrich, it is one of the poorest and least-developed places on Earth. Unresolved problems between the south and its former foe to the north could mean new conflict along the new international border, advocates and diplomats warn. todays early morning celebrations were joyous for the freedom gained but tinged with the memories of family lost. At least 2 million people were killed in Sudans last civil war, fought from 19832005. The internationally brokered 2005 peace deal that ended more than two decades of north-south war expires at midnight Friday. Thats when Sudan which South Sudan is breaking away from officially recognized the new country. South Sudan is expected to become the 193rd country recognized by the United Nations next week and the 54th U.N. member state in Africa. Later today, world leaders will attend a celebratory ceremony. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon already has arrived. Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell also will attend, as will Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, whose country already has recognized South Sudan. The young government faces the huge challenge of reforming its bloated and often predatory army, diversifying its oil-based economy, and deciding how political power will be distributed among the dozens of ethnic and military factions. It must also begin delivering basic needs such as education, health services, water and electricity to its more than 8 million citizens. A draft constitution passed this week lays the groundwork for the president and legislators, who were elected last year, to serve out their five-year terms. The legislatures few opposition lawmakers are unhappy with the draft, but it now serves as an interim constitution until multiparty elections are held. A $1 billion yearly U.N. peacekeeping mission with a 10,000-member peacekeeping force has monitored implementation of the 2005 peace deal. The mission has drawn criticism for its failure to protect Sudanese civilians caught in violence along the north-south border and in the south, where conflict has killed nearly 2,400 people this year alone. The U.N. Security Council on Friday unanimously approved a new peacekeeping force for South Sudan, authorizing the deployment of up to 7,000 military personnel and 900 international police, plus an unspecified number of U.N. civilian staff including human rights experts. The Obama administration has devoted considerable time to ensuring the fragile peace deal holds. With the raising of South Sudans flag in the worlds newest capital, Juba, the international community may breathe a collective sigh of relief that independence has been reached. Al-Bashir has pledged to accept losing about one-third of his countrys territory, an area that contains valuable oil fields. But relations between the two already are looking bleak, with hostilities raging between northern troops and southern-allied forces in a northern border state, a tense stalemate over another disputed border zone, and a

States lawmakers consider Caylees Law Shuttle Atlantis launches for last time
By BRENT KALLESTAD Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Lawmakers outraged over Casey Anthonys acquittal have responded by proposing so-called Caylees laws that would allow prosecutors to bring felony charges against parents who do not quickly report missing children. The new measures were triggered, at least in part, by an online petition that had more than 700,000 signatures Friday. Some questioned whether a new law would do any good because the circumstances of the Anthony case were so rare, but lawmakers in at least a dozen or so states have already floated proposals reacting to the verdict. Casey Anthony broke new ground in brazenness, said Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon, who is sponsoring the proposal in his state. Its very sad that we even need a law like this, but Casey Anthony just proved that we do as unfortunate as that is. In June 2008, Anthonys 2-year-old daughter Caylee was last seen at the Orlando home she shared with her mom and her maternal grandparents. For the next month, Casey Anthony, then 22, left her parents house and spent most of her time with friends, shopping and partying, telling her family and others that Caylee was with an imaginary nanny. Anthonys mother called detectives when Anthony could not produce her child. Anthony told investigators she hadnt By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press called them because the nanny had kidnapped the child and she had been conducting her own search, two of the numerous lies she told investigators. Anthony was acquitted of murder in Caylees death, but convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators. She was sentenced to the maximum of four years, but after serving nearly three years in jail awaiting trial, coupled with good behavior credits, she is set to go free next Sunday. Floridas proposal would make it a felony for a parent or other caregiver to not report a child under the age of 12 missing after 48 hours. It also makes it a felony to not report a childs death or location of a childs corpse to police within two hours of the death. Had Floridas measure been in place and Anthony been convicted, she could have faced another 15 years behind bars. Other states are considering similar measures and the online petition at Change.org, started by an Oklahoma woman, calls for a federal law. Its certainly something that we want to look into, because right now looking at the Maryland state law were not seeing anything that would fit the circumstances to the degree that we want to, said Joseph Cassilly, a prosecutor in Harford County, Md., which is one of the states considering a Caylees law. But others think its unnecessary. It only applies to people like her and fortunately those are not common everyday occurrences, said Willie Meggs, who served as a state attorney in Florida for more than three decades. I dont think it changes anything. When Caylee was reported missing, the sheriffs office launched a massive search, but her remains werent discovered until six months later, near the Anthony family home. The bones were in such bad shape, prosecutors said they had difficulty collecting forensic evidence from them, making it harder to present their case to the jury. Anthonys attorneys argued that Caylee drowned in the family pool. They said Anthony panicked and her father decided to cover up the death by making it look like murder. Anthonys lies and conduct during the month her child was missing were caused by the sexual abuse she had suffered herself as a child by her father, her attorney said. Anthonys father vehemently denied the allegations on the witness stand and said he would have done anything to save his granddaughter. In Alabama, a bill would make it a felony for a parent, legal guardian or caretaker to not notify law enforcement authorities within an hour after the death of a child and also require parents to report a missing child within 24 hours. In Kentucky, the proposal would make failing to report a child under 12 who has been missing for 12 hours or more punishable by one to five years in prison. By THOMAS WATKINS and DERRIK LANG Associated Press By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. With a cry from its commander to light this fire one more time, the last shuttle thundered into orbit Friday on a cargo run that will close out three decades of both triumph and tragedy for NASA and usher in a period of uncertainty for Americas space program. After some last-minute suspense over the weather and a piece of launch-pad equipment, Atlantis and its four astronauts blasted off practically on schedule at 11:29 a.m., pierced a shroud of clouds and settled flawlessly into orbit in front of a crowd estimated at close to 1 million, the size of the throng that watched Apollo 11 shoot the moon in 1969. It was the 135th shuttle flight since the inaugural mission in 1981. Lets light this fire one more time, Mike, and witness this great nation at its best, Atlantis commander Christopher Ferguson told launch director Mike Leinbach just before liftoff. Atlantis crew will dock with the International Space Station on Sunday, deliver a years worth of critical supplies to the orbiting outpost, and bring the trash home. The shuttle is scheduled to land back on Earth on July 20 after 12 days in orbit, though the flight is likely to be extended to a 13th day. After Atlantis return, it will be lights out for the shuttle program. Thousands of workers will be laid off within days. The spaceship will become a museum piece like the two other surviving shuttles, Discovery and Endeavour. And NASA will leave the business of building and flying rockets to private companies while it turns its attention to sending humans to an asteroid by about 2025 and Mars a decade after that. It will be at least three years possibly five or more before astronauts are launched again from U.S. soil. Leinbach said that as Atlantis disappeared in the clouds, he and a friend in the control center put their arms around each other and said: Well never see that again. Inside the room, it seemed like we didnt want to leave, Leinbach said. It was like the end of a party, and you just dont want to go, you just want to hang around a little bit longer and relish our friends and what weve accomplished. So it was very special, lots of pats on the back today. The space shuttle was conceived even as the moon landings were under way, deemed essential for building a permanent space station. NASA brashly promised 50 flights a year in other words, routine trips into space and affordable service. Shuttle crews built the International Space Station, repaired several satellites in orbit and, in a feat that captured the publics imagination, fixed the Hubble Space Telescopes blurry vision, enabling it to see By LISA LEFF Associated Press

breakdown in negotiations this week over the future of Sudans oil industry. While South Sudan is now expected to control of more than 75 percent of what was Sudans daily oil production, it has no refineries and southern oil must flow through the norths pipelines to reach market. Oil has been a major sticking point at the negotiating table, and tensions worsened after the northern armys seizure of the disputed zone of Abyei in May. Despite calls from the Security Council and others to remove its troops from Abyei after they displaced about 100,000 residents, the Sudanese Armed Forces continue to occupy the Texassized territory. The 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) border is disputed in five areas, several of which are being illegally occupied by either northern or southern troops.

Grim shadow cast over debt talks

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama used a bleak jobs report Friday to prod Congress toward a swift agreement on deficits and the national debt. But the higher unemployment numbers hardened partisan views that a weak economy cant tolerate added taxes or cuts in spending, both key to the grand deal Obama seeks. White House, congressional negotiators and their aides worked to bridge differences over how to reduce long term deficits by as much as $4 trillion over 10 years. Obama plans to call the eight top leaders of Congress to the White House on Sunday to assess progress. Summing up the difficulties facing them, House Speaker John Boehner likened the task to a notoriously confounding puzzle. This is a Rubiks Cube that we havent quite worked out yet, he said. A budget agreement is central to increasing the nations borrowing limit, currently capped at $14.3 trillion, to avoid a potentially catastrophic government default after Aug. 2. That looming deadline and a new unemployment rate of 9.2 percent heightened the pressure for a deal, uniting the two most high-profile challenges now facing Obamas presidency. Obama called on Congress to move quickly to raise the debt ceiling. He said uncertainty over a potential default has hindered hiring in the private sector. The sooner we get this done, the sooner that the markets know that the debt limit

ceiling will have been raised and that we have a serious plan to deal with our debt and deficit, the sooner that we give our businesses the certainty they will need in order to make additional investments to grow and hire, Obama said from the Rose Garden in the morning. Obama made his case privately Friday to House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi during a half-hour meeting at the White House. And in Congress, Boehner, R-Ohio, embraced the desire to act with speed, even though some members of his party questioned the urgency. While some think that, you know, we can go past August the 2nd, I frankly think it puts us in an awful lot of jeopardy and puts our economy in jeopardy, risking even more jobs, Boehner said. So I believe its important that we come to an agreement, but it has to be an agreement that really does fundamentally change our spending and our debt situation. Both parties as well as private economists agree that if Washington does not raise the debt ceiling by early August, the economy will be deeply shaken and perhaps slip back into recession. Obamas contention that hiring is already freezing up because of the uncertainty, though, is a harder case to make. There is scant evidence that the markets are acting nervously. The yields on Treasury bonds, which should go up if investors get nervous about a default, are close to historic lows. But it is possible that anxiety is affecting investment behavior in ways difficult to pin down.

William, Kate land in Los Angeles Easier way paid for gay couples
LOS ANGELES Bathed in sunshine and under clear blue skies, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived Friday in Southern Californias vacation playground. But within minutes of touching down, they were whisked off to work. The royal couple had tacked on a quick visit to Los Angeles following a nine-day tour of Canada, their first foreign trip since marrying in April. Aside from a game of polo in the seaside city of Santa Barbara, much of the couples three-day visit will focus on business and not pleasure. Instead of trips to the Hollywood sign or Malibus beaches, their itinerary includes some hefty fundraising for good causes, promoting U.S. investment in Britain and charitable work. The newlyweds landed shortly before 4 p.m. in a Canadian military jet. The former Kate Middleton, who left Canada in a red satin and wool scarlet coat-dress by Catherine Walker, changed aboard the flight and emerged wearing a light-gray, kneelength dress with asymmetric draping at the shoulder. William wore a navy blue suit with a purple tie. Their arrival was a lowerkey affair compared to the largely rapturous welcomes they received as they crisscrossed Canada. A small group of officials including California Gov. Jerry Brown and his wife Anne Gust, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Britains ambassador the U.S., Sir Nigel Sheinwald, greeted the couple at the airport. They climbed into a black Range Rover and headed for their first event, a technology summit in Beverly Hills aimed at promoting U.S. investment in British tech firms. Zoomed along by a California Highway Patrol motorcade, the duke and duchess avoided rush-hour traffic on the 12-mile route by staying off the ever-clogged west Los Angeles freeways. The summit was set up to generate support for Tech City, Londons answer to Silicon Valley. The area around the trendy Old Street part of east London is quickly becoming a hub for technology and software firms. Before their arrival at the expo, former Dancing with the Stars contestant Chelsea Kane, Body of Proof actress Dana Delaney, Rush Hour director Brett Ratner, Dallas Mavericks tycoon Mark Cuban and Bridesmaids director Paul Fieg chatted during a panel about social media. A small crowd of royal watchers gathered outside the hotel as the couple arrived, though the duke and duchess did not stop to speak with them. Attendees stood and clapped as they entered the ballroom and sat on stage alongside other panelists. Neither spoke during the discussion, though Kate smiled when the panelists mentioned that attendees were welcome to visit Tech City. At the end of the panel, the moderator asked if anyone wanted to talk. Kate nudged William, who shrugged off the opportunity. SAN FRANCISCO Federal officials no longer plan to contest joint bankruptcy pleadings brought by legally married same-sex couples, a Department of Justice spokeswoman said Friday. The Obama administrations recent position is that the federal law forbidding government recognition of samesex unions is unconstitutional. Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said government lawyers decided this week that letting gay and lesbian couples jointly petition for bankruptcy protection is consistent with that stance. The Department of Justice has informed bankruptcy courts that it will no longer seek dismissal of bankruptcy petitions filed jointly by same-sex debtors who are married under state

deeper into the cosmos than ever before. But the program suffered two tragic accidents that killed 14 astronauts and destroyed two shuttles, Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. NASA never managed more than nine flights in a single year. And the total tab was $196 billion, or $1.45 billion a flight. This day of reckoning has been coming since 2004, a year after the Columbia tragedy, when President George W. Bush announced the retirement of the shuttle and put NASA on a course back to the moon. President Barack Obama canceled the moon project in favor of trips to an asteroid and Mars. But NASA has yet to work out the details of how it intends to get there, and has not even settled on a spacecraft design. The lull that the end of the shuttle program will bring is unsettling to many spacewatchers. The space shuttle demonstrates Americas leadership in space, and for us to abandon that in favor of nothing is a mistake of strategic proportions, lamented former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, who led the agency from 2005 to 2008. In a pep talk Friday to his launch control team, the current NASA chief, former shuttle commander Charles Bolden, said: We know what were doing. We know how to get there. Weve just got to convince everybody else that we know what were doing.

law, Schmaler said. The shift stems from a case involving two California men who got married when it was briefly legal in 2008 before the states voters passed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages. A U.S. bankruptcy trustee initially fought Gene Balas and Carlos Morales shared Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan on the grounds that the federal Defense of Marriage Act prohibited it. But 20 of the 24 bankruptcy judges in Los Angeles took the unusual step of disagreeing and ruled last month that the act violated the couples civil rights. Trustee Peter Anderson subsequently appealed, maintaining President Barack Obama had ordered government lawyers to defend the ban unless and until Congress repeals the act or there is a final judicial ruling striking it down.
