Evacs
begin
on NC
island
HATTERAS, N.C. (AP)
Evacuations began on a
tiny barrier island off North
Carolina as Hurricane Irene
strengthened to a major
Category 3 storm over the
Bahamas today with the East
Coast in its sights.
Irenes maximum sus-
tained winds increased to near
115 mph (185 kph) with addi-
tional strengthening forecast,
the U.S. National Hurricane
Center in Miami said.
The evacuation in North
Carolina was a test of whether
people in the crosshairs of
the first major hurricane along
the East Coast in years would
heed orders to get out of the
way.

NKorea reported ready
to halt WMD tests
By MANSUR MIROVALEV
The Associated Press
MOSCOW North Korea
is ready to impose a morato-
rium on nuclear missile tests if
international talks on its nuclear
program resume, a spokes-
man for Russias president said
today after talks between the
two leaders at a Siberian mili-
tary base.
Russian news agencies,
meanwhile, reported that North
Korean leader Kim Jong Il said
his country is ready to resume
talks without preconditions.
Kim and Russian President
Dmitry Medvedev met today
at the hotel of a military gar-
rison near the city of Ulan-Ude
in Buryatia, a predominantly
Buddhist province near Lake
Baikal. It was Kims first trip to
Russia since 2002.
The six-sided nuclear talks
involving North Korea and the
U.S., China, Japan, Russia and
South Korea have been stalled
since December 2008. But faced
with deepening sanctions and
economic trouble, North Korea
is pushing to restart them. The
United States and South Korea
maintain the North must halt
its nuclear activities, including
uranium enrichment, before the
talks reopen.
The Korean peninsula has
seen more than a year of ten-
sion during which the North
shelled a South Korean island
and allegedly torpedoed a South
Korean warship.
Medvedev spokeswoman
Natalya Timakova was quoted
by the ITAR-Tass news agency
as saying that Kim expressed
readiness to return to the talks
without preconditions and in
the course of the talks, North
Korea will be ready to resolve
the question of imposing a mor-
atorium on tests and production
of nuclear missile weapons.
Experts on North Korea
were of mixed minds on the
North Korean concession.
One at the University of
Sydney said North Koreas
willingness to impose a mora-
torium on weapons of mass
destruction represents a very
important step forward that
shows Kims sincerity about
reopening the nuclear talks.
The United States and
its allies want a demonstra-
tion of sincerity from North
Korea, Leonid Petrov told The
Associated Press, arguing that
the ball is in their court now.
But he warned that North
Korea may halt its conciliatory
gestures if the United States
fails to issue clear guarantees
for Pyongyangs survival in the
future.
Another expert hailed the
reclusive nations willingness
to freeze its missile and nuclear
tests, but noted there was no
clear mention of the Norths
uranium enrichment program,
which can also make nuclear
weapons.
The North already has
weaponized plutonium, and
enriched uranium is something
that can be proliferated in an
easier manner, said Yang
Moo-jin, a professor at the
University of North Korean
Studies in Seoul. I think North
Korea leaves the matter to talks
with the United States.
On another subject,
Medvedev said Russia and
North Korea moved forward on
a proposal to ship natural gas to
South Korea through a pipeline
across North Korea.
North Korea had long been
reluctant about the prospect of
helping its industrial power-
house archenemy increase its
gas supply, but recently has
shown interest in the project.
The South wants Russian ener-
gy but is wary of North Korean
influence over its energy sup-
ply.
Medvedev, in televised
comments, said the two coun-
tries will create a special com-
mission to focus on bilateral
cooperation on gas transit.
He said two-thirds of the
700-mile (1,100-kilometer)
pipeline would traverse North
Korea to stream up to 10 billion
cubic meters of gas a year to the
South. Russias state-controlled
gas monopoly, Gazprom, said
the pipeline is likely to carry
gas from the giant offshore
fields near the Pacific island of
Sakhalin.
The two leaders also dis-
cussed restructuring North
Koreas Soviet-era debt to
Russia, said a Kremlin official,
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity. That debt totals about
$11 billion, according to a top
Russian official.
North Korea pledged to
freeze its long-range missile
tests in 1999, one year after
the country shocked the world
by firing a missile that flew
over northern Japan and into
the Pacific Ocean. However, it
has since routinely tested short-
range missiles and it launched
a long-range rocket in April
2009.
Quake
(Continued from page 1)
staying in shelters because
of structural concerns at their
apartment buildings.
Further south, Tuesdays
5.8-magnitude quake also
shattered windows and
wrecked grocery stores near
its Virginia epicenter. There
were no known deaths or
serious injuries.
The head of the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency said the quake serves
as a reminder for residents to
be prepared.
We talk about hurricanes
this time of year, but we for-
get that A: earthquakes dont
have a season and B: they
are not just a western haz-
ard, FEMA administrator
Craig Fugate said in an inter-
view today on ABCs Good
Morning America.
When the quake struck,
many feared terrorism in
New York and Washington
places where nerves are
raw as the 10th anniversary of
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks
approaches. The tremblor
sent many pouring from high-
rises like the Empire State
Building.
I ran down all 60 flights,
accounting office worker
Caitlin Trupiano said. I
wasnt waiting for the eleva-
tor.
Chris Kardian, working
in his garage in suburban
Richmond, Va., not far from
the epicenter, opted for the
more prosaic and plausible:
He blamed the shaking on
two of his children in the
overhead playroom.
I just thought they were
running around and being
really loud, he said. After
about 15 seconds, it didnt
stop and I thought, I dont
have that many kids in the
house!
The most powerful earth-
quake to strike the East Coast
in 67 years shook buildings
and jarred as many as 12
million people. The U.S.
Geological Survey said it was
centered 40 miles northwest
of Richmond in Mineral.
The U.S. Park Service
evacuated and closed all
monuments and memori-
als along the National Mall.
The Pentagon, the White
House, the Capitol and fed-
eral agencies in and around
Washington were evacuated.
Roads out of the city were
clogged with commuters
headed home.
Stressed-out D.C. mother
of four Marion Babcock, who
spent two hours traffic instead
of her normal 25 minutes, did
the only sensible thing for
her frazzled, frightened kids:
I treated their post-traumatic
stress with copious amounts
of chocolate mint and cookie
dough ice cream.
Between cell phones and
social networks, news of the
quake seemed to travel faster
than the temblor itself.
Jenna Scanlon of Floral
Park, N.Y., ended a phone
call with someone in McLean,
Va., and announced to her
office colleagues there had
been an earthquake. Seconds
later, 7 World Trade Center
began to shake.
The scope of the dam-
age or lack of also
quickly became clear on
social networks. Instead of
collapsed freeways, people
posted images of toppled
lawn chairs and yogurt cups,
broken Bobbleheads, picture
frames askew on walls.
On Facebook, people joked
with posts such as S&P has
downgraded earthquake to a
2.0, a swipe at the rating
agency that recently lowered
the federal governments
creditworthiness. Another
suggested New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie, a large man,
had just jumped into the
presidential race.
A 5.8-magnitude quake
releases as much energy
as almost eight kilotons of
TNT, about half the power
of the atomic bomb dropped
on Hiroshima, Japan, during
World War II.
Still, those along the West
Coast who are used to the
earth moving couldnt help
but take a jab or two.
Really all this excitement
over a 5.8 quake??? Come on
East Coast, we have those for
breakfast out here!!!! wrote
Dennis Miller, a lifelong
California resident whose
Pleasanton home sits on a
fault line.
A 5.8, he said, wouldnt
even wake him from his
sleep.
We were laughing, said
26-year-old San Francisco
resident Stellamarie Hall, but
we definitely understand that
New York and certain metro-
politan areas are not designed
around earthquakes.
Irene
(Continued from page 1)
Hatteras with around a dozen
cars on board.
It wont be easy to get thou-
sands of people off Ocracoke
Island, which is accessible
only by boat. The 16-mile-
long barrier island is home
to about 800 year-round resi-
dents and a tourist population
that swells into the thousands
when vacationers rent rooms
and cottages. Tourists were
told to evacuate today. Island
residents were told to get out
on Thursday.
It wasnt clear how many
people on the first arriving
ferry this morning were tour-
ists, but the first two cars to
drive off it had New York and
New Jersey plates.
Getting off the next ferry
about an hour later was a family
that included newlywed Jennifer
Baharek, 23, of Torrington,
Conn. She and her husband,
Andrew, were married Monday
and planned to spend their hon-
eymoon on the island.
We just got to spend one
day on the beach and then we
went to bed early to get up for
the evacuation, she said.
State workers questioned
people who tried taking the
ferry to the island turned a few
cars around. In addition to the
ferry line to Hatteras, there
were two other ferry lines that
went to and from the island.
Federal officials have
warned Irene could cause
flooding, power outages or
worse all along the East Coast
as far north as Maine, even if
it stays offshore. The projected
path has gradually shifted to
the east and Irene could make
landfall anywhere from South
Carolina to Massachusetts
over the weekend.

IRS warns of tax scam
targeting Social Security
recipients in Ohio
COLUMBUS The
Internal Revenue Service is
asking Ohio residents to be on
guard against tax scams pro-
moted by individuals trying
to persuade them to file false
returns. These scams have, in
many cases, targeted elderly
taxpayers in the Midwest but
have since spread to states
nationwide, to include Ohio.
The IRS has noted an
increase in tax-return-related
scams involving unsuspect-
ing seniors and others who
normally do not have a fil-
ing requirement in the first
place. These taxpayers are
led to believe they should
file a return with the IRS for
money to which they are not
entitled.
Scammers are posing as
tax return preparers, targeting
the elderly and others receiv-
ing Social Security benefits.
The scammers promise large
tax refunds, and lure unsus-
pecting victims into paying
for the preparation and fil-
ing of fraudulent tax returns
claiming false withholding,
credits, refunds or rebates,
said Jennifer Jenkins, IRS
spokesperson. This summer,
scammers hit Erie, Pa. We
now have reports the scam
has crossed the border into
Ohio. Please protect yourself.
Not only will you be out the
money paid to have the false
return prepared by the scam-
mers, but youll also have
compromised your personal
and financial information,
opening the door to ID theft.
Most paid tax return pre-
parers provide honest and
professional services, but
there are some who engage in
fraud and other illegal activi-
ties. Unscrupulous promot-
ers of tax scams often prey
upon low income individuals
and seniors. They build false
hopes of a refund and charge
people good money for bad
advice. In the end, victims
of these scams discover their
claims are rejected or the
refund barely exceeds what
they paid the scam promoter.
Meanwhile, their money and
the promoters are long gone.
Flyers and advertise-
ments for free money from
the IRS have been circulated
at community organizations
including churches and orga-
nizations that assist seniors,
exploiting their good inten-
tions and credibility. The
flyers suggest that taxpayers
can file a return and get a
refund with little or no docu-
mentation. These fraudulent
schemes are often spread by
word of mouth among unsus-
pecting and well-intentioned
people telling their friends
and relatives.
Return preparer fraud is
like a contagious disease it
affects not only the preparer, but
the individuals who have filed
false information with Internal
Revenue Service, said Tracey
E. Warren, Acting Special
Agent in Charge, IRS-Criminal
Investigation, Cincinnati Field
Office. Taxpayers should be
very careful when choosing a
return preparer. It is important
to know that even if someone
else prepares your return, you
are ultimately responsible for
all the information on the tax
return.
Anyone victimized or
approached by these scam
promoters should contact the
local IRS Taxpayer Assistance
Center. Others with questions
about tax credits or refunds
should visit the IRS web site
at www.IRS.gov or call the
IRS toll-free number at 1-800-
829-1040.

Chrysler may invest $72M in Ohio factory
PERRYSBURG (AP)
Chrysler Group LLC plans
to invest $72 million in a
northwest Ohio plant, and the
states governor said Tuesday
there might be bigger things to
come from the automaker.
Chrysler wants to install
new equipment and modern-
ize its Toledo Machining
Plant near Perrysburg, which
will allow it to retain 640
hourly and salaried jobs, the
company said.
The plant will produce
new-generation torque con-
verters and steering columns.
It said the converters would be
paired with new transmissions
being made at Chrysler plants
in Kokomo, Ind., as part of the
automakers strategy to meet
fuel economy requirements.
The announcement came
as Ohio Gov. John Kasich met
Tuesday with General Motors,
Ford and Chrysler in Detroit
to talk about their investments
in the state and their continued
presence in Ohio.
Kasich wouldnt offer
many details about what was
talked about but hinted that
there are negotiations in the
works with Chrysler.
The Blade newspaper of
Toledo reported two weeks
ago that the automaker might
expand its Toledo assembly
complex and add more than
1,100 workers at the plant that
makes the Jeep Wrangler and
Liberty and the Dodge Nitro.
Im positive about it mov-
ing forward, Kasich said.
Talks with the automak-
ers included discussions about
workforce training and retain-
ing jobs, he said. Kasich said
he is hopeful that the success
of the new Chevrolet Cruze,
the best-selling car in the U.S.
in June, could lead to more
work at General Motors Co.s
plant in Lordstown where the
car is made.
Chrysler said it would
install new equipment to mod-
ernize the Toledo Machining
facility and boost its capabili-
ties. Work on the plant would
begin this year and end by
early 2013.
Were very pleased that
Chrysler is making the deci-
sion to invest in the Toledo
Machining Plant and the
skilled workforce there,
United Auto Workers vice
president General Holiefield
said in a statement. This will
help preserve and enhance
jobs in the area and give a
greater measure of security to
our members and their fami-
lies well into the future.
The facility employed
about 840 people as of last
month, most of them hourly
employees, according its web-
site. It currently makes steer-
ing columns for eight assem-
bly plants, including one in
nearby Toledo, and produces
torque converters, which
allow the gears to be shifted
in automatic transmissions.
Perrysburg Township
administrator John Hrosko told
The Blade that the Chrysler
investment is great news.
We knew (Chrysler offi-
cials) were working very hard
to get some money into this
plant. The governor and his
people also were working
very hard and we knew they
were going to try to get some
funding, he said. We sent
a lot of letters in support of
those efforts. Obviously some
of those letters helped and
theyre going to go ahead and
invest in the plant.
Taxpayers should
be very careful
when choosing a
return preparer.
It is important to
know that even if
someone else pre-
pares your return,
you are ultimately
responsible for all
the information on
the tax return.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Public schools in Ohio saw
their graduation rates drop as
districts nationwide move to
a new federal formula used to
calculate who is finishing high
school.
The new rates appeared
on the states annual report
cards. The report shows what
academic gains Ohio public
schools and districts have
made in the 2010-11 school
year. It features schools rank-
ings, as well as their gradua-
tion rates, attendance rates and
other information.
Several of the states larg-
est public school districts saw
their 2010 graduation rates
plummet under the new calcu-
lation thats required by fed-
eral law.
For instance, Daytons
graduation rate sank to rough-
ly 59 percent under the new
formula, compared with just
above 84 percent under the
current calculation. Cincinnati
public schools saw a rate of
60.2 percent graduate using
the new formula. Thats a
drop from about 82 percent
using the current method. And
Cleveland saw its record-high
rate of 62.8 percent fall to 52.2
percent with the new formula.
Most states are required
to convert to the new federal
calculation this year, but the
number wont count as part of
federal No Child Left Behind
benchmarks until the 2012-13
school year.
Currently, if a student says
hes transferring to a new
school but never does, hes
not counted against the gradu-
ation rate. The new formula
requires schools to be more
vigilant in tracking students
who may have transferred or
dropped out. Its intended to
create uniform reporting of
graduation rates.
Janet Walsh, a spokeswom-
an for Cincinnatis district, said
flawed data contributed to its
disparity in rates. She said the
district found instances where
foreign exchange students
were counted as dropouts, as
were parochial students who
took career education classes.
Ohio schools see graduation rates dropping
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohio regulators have ordered
the new owner to change the
name on a funeral home that
cremated the wrong childs
body and had its license
suspended.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the state Board of
Embalmers and Funeral
Directors approved a new
license Tuesday for what
had been the Marlan J. Gary
Funeral Home in Columbus.
But the panel said new
owner Thor Triplett should
use his own name and gave
him two weeks to revise the
homes signs and website.
Under its former owner,
the home mistakenly cre-
mated a 14-month-old boy
against his parents beliefs.
A judge last week stopped
the funeral board from
blocking the homes take-
over over the name issue.
An attorney says Triplett
still wants to keep the Gary
name and may go back to
court.

County boasts
shortest covered
bridge in US
Town wants to
hand over its
oversize fagpole
A S H T A B U L A
TOWNSHIP (AP) An
Ohio county thats home to
the nations longest covered
bridge now also has whats
considered to be the shortest
one.
An 18-foot span with a
wooden roof opened this
week in Ashtabula County,
in the states far northeast
corner. It replaces a dete-
riorating bridge in Geneva,
about 45 miles northeast of
Cleveland.
The new bridge will have
its formal dedication in
October during the annual
Covered Bridge Festival in
the county, which now has
18 of them.
Festival spokeswoman
Betty Morrison tells The
Star-Beacon newspaper the
new bridge is so short that
tour buses passing through
it will look like hot dogs in
a bun.
The longest U.S. covered
bridge 613 feet long
was dedicated in Ashtabula
County three years ago.
RAVENNA (AP) A
northeast Ohio community
wants to wash its hands of a
towering flagpole well over
100 years old that officials
fear is a tempting hazard.
Within the last year, two
people thought to be under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs climbed up the 150-
foot flagpole in front of the
Portage County Courthouse
in Ravenna. Ravenna
Township Trustee Patsy Artz
says both were lucky to sur-
vive and calls the flagpole
an accident waiting to hap-
pen.
The Record-Courier news-
paper reports the township is
asking that either the city of
Ravenna or the county take
responsibility for the steel
flagpole, which resembles a
broadcast antenna.
Artz said Tuesday the
township should tear it down
if no one else wants the
responsibility. So far, offi-
cials with the city say its not
interested.

(AP) President Barack
Obama was just starting
a round of golf when the
East Coast earthquake
rattled the ground around
him.
He put the foursome
on hold and, within the
hour, was on the tele-
phone and getting updates
on the temblors after-
math from top aides, the
White House said. Told
there had been no major
damage reported, Obama
resumed one of his favor-
ite pastimes and stayed
at the public Farm Neck
Golf Club for several more
hours.
The White House said
that Obama did not feel
the quake. Reporters who
traveled with him to the
course said they did feel
it.
The quake on Tuesday
shook much of the
Washington area and sent
people streaming from the
White House, Pentagon
and Capitol.
Obama was seen talking
on a cellphone while still
on the golf course. The
White House declined to
say exactly where he was
just before 3 p.m. EDT
when he conferred from
the course with his top
aides, including his home-
land security secretary,
national security advis-
er and disaster response
chief.
The White House said
he asked for regular earth-
quake reports. He also
was updated on Hurricane
Irene.
Obamas golf game,
was with a group that
included pals Eric Whitaker
and Vernon Jordan, came
after he took advantage of
idyllic summer weather to
join his family on biking
and beach outings earlier
Tuesday. It was his third
golf outing of a 10-day
vacation that began last
Thursday.
Aides said that President
Obama was briefed on
national security and on
the economy before set-
ting out for the bike trail
at Manuel F. Correllus
State Forest with his wife,
Michelle, and daughters
Malia and Sasha. The first
family went biking at the
5,100-acre preserve dur-
ing their previous two
summer getaways on
this posh island off the
Massachusetts coast.
After biking, they head-
ed to a private stretch of
beach on the islands south
shore for the second time
in three days.
Obama also discussed
Libya with French
President Nicolas
Sarkozy. Both were in
agreement to support a
peaceful transition to
democracy and called
for Moammar Gadhafi to
relinquish his power, the
White House said.
While out biking,
Obama ignored a reporters
shouted question about
Gadhafis whereabouts.
The president and his
family are scheduled to
return to the White House
on Saturday.

WASHINGTON The
odds of getting re-elected have
gotten better for Rep. Renee
Ellmers and other Republican
freshmen in the House
thanks to GOP calculations
in redrawing congressional
maps.
The 47-year-old nurse who
ousted seven-term Democrat
Bob Etheridge by fewer than
1,500 votes last November
will be running next year in a
newly drawn North Carolina
district thats less swing and
more Republican. The out-
look is brighter too for Texas
Rep. Blake Farenthold, a
conservative talk radio host
who edged 14-term Democrat
Solomon Ortiz by just 797
votes. Farenthold will find
more Republicans in a Corpus
Christi-based district that now
stretches north.
Republicans romped last
November, gaining 63 House
seats to secure the major-
ity, winning 11 governor-
ships, including Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and seizing
control of the most state legis-
lative seats theyve held since
1928. The GOP is capital-
izing on its across-the-board
control in 26 states gover-
norship plus legislature in
the census-based drawing of a
new political map that will be
a decisive factor in the 2012
elections and beyond.
Republican fresh-
men are finding the ground
harden beneath them as
their current swing districts
become less competitive for
Democrats, said Rep. Pete
Sessions, R-Texas, chairman
of the National Republican
Campaign Committee. Even
seemingly small changes in
district political leanings can
mean big returns at the ballot
box.
Nearly half of the states
have finished redrawing
House lines based on popula-
tion changes, although law-
suits and Justice Department
reviews loom. The immediate
post-election claims that the
GOP could add 15 to 30 seats
in the U.S. House through
redistricting have proven
unfounded, in large part
because Republicans captured
so many seats last November.
Instead, the GOP has used the
redistricting process to shore
up its most vulnerable law-
makers, people like Ellmers
and Farenthold.
Redistricting starts with
Republicans at a peak, said
Tim Storey, an elections
analyst with the nonpartisan
National Conference of State
Legislatures. They hold a
solid majority of seats in the
House. Its hard to gain much
more.
In the last election,
Republicans took control of
the governorships and legisla-
tures in Michigan, Wisconsin
and Indiana. That grip on
power is reflected in the latest
congressional lines. The GOP
improved the political land-
scape for freshman Rep. Todd
Young in southern Indiana,
for example. And two of
Michigans newest members,
Dan Benishek in the north and
Tim Walberg in the south, got
a boost, as did Rep. Thaddeus
McCotter, whos also running
for president. Wisconsins
Paul Ryan and Sean Duffy
also are looking at districts
with more Republicans.
Republican optimism
aside, Democrats are making
the most of their opportuni-
ties. Theyve drawn favorable
district lines in Illinois. And
theyre hoping several politi-
cal realities will help the party
pick up the 25 net seats need-
ed to recapture the House.
Next year is a presidential
election year, with the prom-
ise of higher turnout and an
electorate with a greater num-
ber of Democratic-leaning
younger voters and Hispanics.
President Barack Obama will
head the party ticket against
a still to-be-determined
Republican, who could either
win over independents or
send them running toward the
Democrats.
Candidate recruitment and
financial resources also will
be factors in 2012.

WASHINGTON No
one can be sure who con-
trols the Libyan governments
weapons stockpiles, a stew
of deadly chemicals, raw
nuclear material and some
30,000 shoulder-fired rockets
that officials fear could fall
into terrorists hands in the
chaos of Moammar Gadhafis
downfall or afterward.
One immediate worry, U.S.
intelligence and military offi-
cials say, is that Gadhafi might
use the weapons to make a last
stand. But officials also face
the troubling prospect that the
material, which was left under
Gadhafis control by a U.S.-
backed disarmament pact,
could be obtained by al-Qaida
or other militants even after a
rebel victory is secured.
The main stockpile of mus-
tard gas and other chemicals,
stored in corroding drums, is
at a site southeast of Tripoli.
Mustard gas can cause severe
blistering and death. A cache
of hundreds of tons of raw
uranium yellowcake is stored
at a small nuclear facility east
of the capital.
Weapons demolition teams
hired by the State Department
have located and destroyed
some of the anti-aircraft rock-
et systems in rebel-held parts
of the country.
U.S. and allied officials say
chemical and nuclear stock-
piles appear to be still under
the control of whats left of
the Libyan government despite
rebel military advances into
the capital. That may or may
not be reassuring. It depends
on whether Gadhafi loyalists,
increasingly desperate, adhere
to international agreements
not to use or move the mate-
rial.
The State Department has
also sent experts to Libya to
confer with rebel leaders and
Libyas neighbors about abid-
ing by those same compacts
and beefing up border secu-
rity to prevent weapons from
being smuggled out.
State Department spokes-
woman Victoria Nuland said
Tuesday the U.S. is working
to ensure that the govern-
ing forces in Libya have full
command and control of any
WMD or any security assets
that the state might have had.
Jamie F. Mannina, spokesman
for the State Departments
Bureau of Arms Control,
Verification and Compliance,
said Libyas known chemi-
cal weapons storage facilities
have been monitored since the
start of the civil war.
Still, many U.S. officials
question whether NATO has
enough people on the ground
to make sure the material
remains secure if Libyan secu-
rity forces flee their posts.
NATOs decision to limit its
participation in the conflict
has kept the coalitions invest-
ment in blood and treasure to
a minimum. But that has not
helped the cause of nonpro-
liferation.
With the battle for the
capital Tripoli still unfolding,
military advisers from Britain,
France, Italy and Qatar are
feeding intelligence to the reb-
els and NATO bombers on the
whereabouts of the enemy.
That has left U.S. intelligence
relying primarily on military
drone, satellite and spy plane
reports to track Gadhafis
arsenal.
No one seems clear how
many of the estimated 30,000
anti-aircraft rockets, and other
stockpiles still remain after
six months of pounding by
air strikes, according to a
U.S. official who has been
following the Libyan events.
Officials spoke on condition
of anonymity to discuss mat-
ters of intelligence.
As for chemical agents,
said British Embassy spokes-
man Hetty Crist, officials are
concerned about the security
of some 11 metric tons of
mustard gas.
Crist said the Libyan stocks
are under guard in secure
and remote locations at the
moment and cannot be used
easily for warfare because
they are not weaponized.

SENDAI, Japan U.S.
Vice President Joe Biden on
Tuesday praised the resolve
of the Japanese people in their
efforts to recover from the
tsunami and reaffirmed the
two countries alliance as vital
for regional peace and pros-
perity.
In a speech at Sendais air-
port, which American mili-
tary personnel helped clear of
debris after the tsunami, Biden
spoke of U.S. publics admira-
tion of Japan after the March
11 disaster, which left about
20,000 people dead or missing
and ravaged hundreds of miles
(kilometers) of coastline.
The disaster met its match
in the legendary industrious-
ness and relentless persever-
ance of the Japanese people,
he said.
Biden, who also visited
China and Mongolia during his
eight-day Asian trip, stressed
the strong economic and mili-
tary ties between Japan and
the U.S., calling their security
alliance the foundation of this
regions security and prosper-
ity for over half a century.
Under the pact, nearly
50,000 American troops are
stationed in Japan, many of
whom participated in a human-
itarian relief mission called
Operation Tomodachi,
or Operation Friend, after
Marchs threefold disaster
earthquake, tsunami and
nuclear crisis.
Bidens visit comes as
Chinas rising economic, mili-
tary and political clout some-
what overshadows Japan,
which is wrestling with a
two-decade economic slump,
a bulging deficit and aging
population and now recov-
ery from catastrophe. In his
first trip to Asia as vice presi-
dent, Biden spent five days
in China, but will be in Japan
only two.
Still, he stressed Japans
importance to U.S. interests in
the region.
The United States is and
will remain a Pacific power.
Americas focus on this criti-
cal region will only grow in
the years to come as Asia
plays an ever-increasing role
in the global economy and
international affairs, he said.
The anchor of that relation-
ship will be Japan.
Biden laid flowers at the
site of a destroyed home not
far from the airport and vis-
ited evacuees living in tempo-
rary housing, where he chat-
ted, shook hands and handed
out baseball caps.
Earlier Tuesday, he met
with Prime Minister Naoto
Kan, who thanked him for the
enormous assistance from
the U.S. after the disaster. Kan
said the vice presidents trip
demonstrates that Japan is
open for business.
Biden told Kan that
the American public was
impressed with the stoicism
and courage of the Japanese
people, calling it a model for
the whole world.
Kan is widely expected to
resign in coming weeks or
even days over his administra-
tions perceived lack of lead-
ership in handling the triple
crisis.
Referring to the natural
disaster in Japan and budget
problems in the U.S., Biden
told Kan that there are voices
in the world who are counting
us out. They are making a
very bad bet.
During his time in China,
Biden had extensive time with
the countrys expected future
leader, Xi Jinping, and deliv-
ered a strong message of the
interdependence between the
U.S. and China, the worlds
two biggest economies.
Biden also made the case
for continued U.S. economic
vitality despite current budget
woes and sought to reassure
Chinas leaders and ordinary
citizens about the safety of
their assets in the United States
following the downgrading of
Americas credit rating.

Christmas in August
BY LOVINA EICHER
The laundry is on the line
and we have a nice sunny day
to dry it. Mornings have been
cool with temperatures in the
upper 50s and lower 60s. It
warms up during the day but
sure makes for nice sleeping
weather at night.
We had a busy week last
week with lots of home-
canning on the
list. We canned
salsa and tomato
juice. We also put
peaches into the
freezer. I still have
plenty canned. I
put some orange
juice concentrate
and sugar on the
sliced peaches for
the freezer. It gives
it a little orange
flavor in the peaches. I fill
a lot of small containers so I
can put them in Joes lunch
or the childrens for school
sometimes.
This week I will can some
more hot peppers. Our favor-
ite are Serranos. They dont
seem quite as hot as the jala-
penos but I will still can some
jalapeno and banana peppers.
On Friday the childrens
school took two busloads to
the zoo as part of a summer
field trip. Benjamin, Loretta,
Joseph, Lovina, and Kevin
all went along. They went to
the zoo in Toledo. They sure
enjoyed their day and had
lots to talk about when they
came home around 5:30 p.m.
School doors will open again
in a little over two weeks.
This summer went way too
fast, it seems like school just
let out for the term.
Daughter Verena, 13, is
still doing okay and she will
have her cast removed on
Sept. 15 if all goes well.
Meanwhile, sisters Verena
and Susan had our family
together for a belated 2010
Christmas gathering at their
place on Saturday. All of us
siblings take turns, rotating
from oldest to youngest who
holds the annual gathering.
Verena and Susan wouldnt
have enough room to have
us all together in the winter
time so they decided to wait
until summer. They had the
community tent shared
by 3 churches in this area
up and had the gathering
in there. Our fam-
ily total comes to
82 now but four
grandchildren and
families were not
present. Uncle
Jake and Mary
Coblentz from
Wisconsin stopped
in and stayed for
dinner, too. In all
the total there was
75 with the family
from farthest being nephew
Ben from Wisconsin.
The dinner menu was
mashed potatoes, gravy,
dressing, barbecued chicken,
corn, Cole slaw, cucumber
salad, veggies and dip, cake,
pecan, blueberry, cherry, and
oatmeal pies, butterscotch
pudding, Oreo cookie dessert,
mixed fresh fruit, finger jello,
cookies, etc. The 2011 family
gathering will be at Paul and
Leahs unless they decide to
wait until summer also.
The afternoon was spent
playing games and Susan
and Verena had lots of gifts
for the winners. We also had
plenty of snacks to snack on.
Susan and Verena had a pina-
ta for the younger children
to enjoy. It made for a lot of
excitement when it broke and
the candy flew everywhere.
Uncle Joe and Aunt Betty
Coblentz came to visit after
dinner. Brother Amoss
daughter Mary Jane has
been in the hospital since
Wednesday due to having
complications with her gall
bladder. Plans are to do sur-
gery today to remove her
gall bladder. Mary Jane and
her husband have two boys.
The baby is 4 months and
their other son is 2 years old.
Brother Amos and Nancy
are taking care of their two
grandchildren while Mary
Jane is hospitalized and had
them along to the gathering.
We wish Mary Jane a com-
plete and speedy recovery.
Yesterday afternoon, sister
Susan had invited our church,
cousins and friends for sis-
ter Verenas 45th birthday,
which is today. Verena was
really surprised when every-
one started arriving. Everyone
enjoyed barbecued chicken,
hot dogs, fruit, mixed fruit,
vegetables and dip, cake and
ice cream. Also lots of snacks
were brought in. This was all
in the tent where our gather-
ing had been held the day
before.
Since it is almost autumn
and people will have their
squashes from the garden
soon, this is a great recipe
to try:
Butternut Squash Bake
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 5-ounce can evaporated
milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups mashed and cooked
butternut squash
Topping:
1/2 cup Rice Krispie cereal
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons butter, melt-
ed
In a mixing bowl, cream
butter and sugar. Beat in
eggs, milk, and vanilla. Stir
in squash. Mixture will be
thin. Pour into a greased 11
X 7 inch baking pan. Bake
uncovered at 350 degrees for
45 minutes or until almost set.
Combine topping ingredients
and sprinkle over casserole.
Return to oven for 10-15
minutes or until bubbly.

Phelps tickets for NPAC
show on sale Thursday
One of the Christian indus-
trys most versatile voices,
Texas born David Phelps
brings his glorious tenor voice
to the Niswonger Performing
Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Nov.
27 for a special Christmas
show. Tickets go on sale
Thursday.
For more than a decade
Phelps has honed the abil-
ity to identify and deliver
great songs. Phelps has been
nominated for 6 Dove awards
including Male Vocalist of
the Year, has recorded 11
albums to date and sang
with the Gaither Vocal Band
from 1998-2003, rejoining in
2009. His masterful melodies
have been burned into six
award-winning Gaither Vocal
Band CDs, five critically-
acclaimed solo offerings,
and well over 40 certified
Gold and Platinum Gaither
Homecoming collections.
Noted as a lyric tenor for
his ability to sing in a high
tessitura for sustained peri-
ods, Phelps has consistently
garnered rave reviews for his
three octave range. Beyond
his obvious technical skill,
what sets Phelps apart is the
heart and emotional weight he
brings to each performance.
More than just a great singer,
he has the ability to really
connect with a lyric and con-
vey every nuance of feeling
in a great song.
Phelps will bring a spec-
tacular Christmas show, fea-
turing both classic Christmas
carols and some lesser known
Christmas songs to the NPAC
on Nov. 27. His powerful
voice combined with the joy-
ous music of Christmas is
sure to be an event you wont
want to miss.
Tickets are available online
24/7 at www.npacvw.org and
at the NPAC box office at
10700 State Route 118 S.,

ELIDA Neither team
wanted to give up on
Tuesday night at the Elida
Soccer Complex as the Lady
Cavaliers and the Lady
Bulldogs were battling on the
soccer field.
It took only one goal
by junior captain Shannon
Boroff late in the contest
to decide matters as the host
Lady Dawgs grabbed a 1-0
defensive gem in the season-
opener.
Elida dominated the
offensive end, outshooting
the Cavaliers 14-2, although
Coldwater sophomore goal-
keeper Jenna Black defended
13.
In the first half, Elida
controlled the ball, shooting
seven times at the goal.
Senior captain Beth Boyle
managed to get two close
shots at the goal but couldnt
score.
Coldwater didnt get the
chance to control the ball
much offensively, having
only one shot on-goal in the
first 40 minutes.
By the second half, the two
teams were still battling as
the Bulldogs still controlled
the offensive end.
The Lady Cavaliers sel-
dom got the ball into the Elida
end in the second half as the
Bulldogs offense was getting
good looks at the goal.
Still, it took until the 8:40
mark before they could finally
punch one in. Boroff scored
the only goal of the contest on
the right side above Coldwater
defenders.
The Lady Cavaliers battled
to fight for a goal but came up
short as time ran out.
It went back and forth,
said Elida coach Brady
Overholt. We had a pret-
ty strong game, quite a few
shots, controlled the game,
but we just couldnt get the
ball in the back of the net. I
give Coldwater credit; they
didnt break. We got them to
bang quite a bit but they didnt
break. It was a good solid win
to start the season off and a
good game overall.
The junior varsity match
was won by Elida by a score
of 3-0.
The Bulldogs host
Wapakoneta Tuesday at 7
p.m., while the Cavaliers
travel to Wapakoneta on Sept.
1 for a 7 p.m. start time.

ST. MARYS St. Marys
Memorial has been one of the
premier girls soccer programs
in the area for a number of
years under head coach Paul
Dingledine, finishing 17-2-1
last fall.
St. Johns, coming off a
16-3-2 regional semifinal sea-
son, would like to get there.
However, the veteran
Lady Roughriders took it to
the inexperienced Lady Blue
Jays Tuesday night at West
Elementary School, dominat-
ing the action 10-0.
St. Marys outshot the Blue
Jays 38-1, forcing new goal-
keeper Madison Kreeger, a
sophomore in for the gradu-
ated Samantha Stant, to grab
26 saves several of them
diving stops and gobble
up several other potential
chances.
Even though it wasnt
pretty, I cant ask for a better
opener against a better team.
They show you where you
stand right away, St. Johns
coach John Munoz noted.
We lost a lot of experience
from last season and we have
a number of girls that have
never played soccer before.
We can go and break down
the film of this and find out
what we need to work on. We
need a lot of work in the skills
but that is to be expected.
They beat us last year in the
opener and we broke that film
down to the smallest detail.
The Roughriders were
motivated by a loss to the
Jays in the districts last fall.
We had been working
for and looking forward to
this game since the spring
because of that. I know they
dont have the same team but
its still Delphos, Dingledine
explained.
It only took 3:18 for the
hosts to get on the board:
Molly Albert feeding a
through ball to Sara Lininger
to put the ball into the net for
a 1-0 lead.
The Roughriders continued
to put pressure on the Jays
defense and broke through
again at 23:22. Kayla Boysell
threaded a great lead pass
to Ashleigh Falk behind the
defense. She beat Kreeger to
the ball well off her line and
got a wide open 14-yarder
that hit off the cross bar and
into the cords for a 2-0 lead.
At 9:03, it became 3-0. A
quick touch pass from Falk
to Albert in the 18-yard box
resulted in a shot inside the
left post.
At 7:11, that score became
4-0. Boysell got control of a
free ball, made a quick move
to just inside the top of the
box and went middle to left.
The Jays got their only real
look at the net at 4:42 when
senior Courtney Grothouse
tried from well out but sopho-
more keeper Shelby Goodwin
subbing for injured
Western Buckeye League all-
leaguer Paige Dicus easily
made the stop.
The Roughriders, with
their deeper and more expe-
rienced bench, continued to
dominate the ball in the sec-
ond half.
Just 2:05 in, they took
a 5-goal spread courtesy
of Lininger feeding Kelly
Heitkamp for an open look
from the left side and finding
the right side of the twine.
At 30:31, it became 6-0.
Kristen Vehorn connected
with Lininger on the right
swing and her shot went
opposite side.
At the 25:20 mark, the
Roughriders took advantage
of a Kreeger deflection of
Heitkamps shot from the
right side to the other side,
when Falk jammed the close-
in rebound in.
It became an 8-0 advan-
tage at 18:43 when Kelsey
Rohrbach got a free look inside
the box and found the mark.
At 8:57, Albert made a
nice individual move to get a
free shot from the right post
and again went opposite.
The hosts accounted for
the final tally at 1:42 when
Rohrbach got a close-in look
and made it pay off.
St. Marys is where we
want to be; they dont rebuild,
they reload. They have it all:
depth, skills, speed, every-
thing; they are on a plateau
we want to get to, Munoz
added. We want to get to the
point that we can lose a big
senior class and not skip a
beat because we have young-
er girls waiting in the wings.
Again, I like this opener; we
wont face anyone as good as
this team all season.
St. Marys is at Liberty-
Benton Thursday.
The thing I liked the
most today is how our sec-
ond unit kept up the pressure;
we didnt have any letdowns
when I subbed in, Dingledine
added. We kept doing the
things weve worked on dur-
ing the spring, summer and
preseason.
St. Johns is at Fort
Jennings 11 a.m. (junior var-
sity, then varsity) Saturday.
Elida girls win
defensive soccer opener
Memorial rides roughshod over Lady Jays
The high school foot-
ball season is upon us.
Already?
Time seems to fly
faster these days, doesnt
it?
For me, this is the
best time of the year.
There is that sign of fall
in the air definitely a
lot better for the football players who have all the equipment
on, as well as soccer players who have to do a lot of running,
volleyball players who have to play and practice in sweltering
gymnasiums during July and August, tennis players who have
to sweat it out on hot hard courts there arent too many clay
courts or grass courts in this area and cross country runners
who arent putting out sweat like a fire hydrant.
Of course, there are exceptions: Indian Summer is always
a distinct possibility; summer is still with us; and some run-
ners, soccer players, etc., prefer hotter temperatures. It makes it
easier for them to warm up and stay warm.
Pretty soon, though, we wont be talking about the heat but
the chill in the air.
It just seems that once the athletic calendar gets going
when football season gets rolling it just scoots by and were
talking playoffs and colder temps.
I can wait!
It doesnt look good for the Cincinnati Reds right now
and the Cleveland Indians appear to have hit a wall.
The Redlegs are currently 13 1/2 games behind the Brew
Crew and fading fast.
It doesnt seem to be the pitching that is the real problem,
though it seems that lately, the Reds cannot hold a lead; no, in a
hitters ball park, Great American, the offense hasnt been able
to produce consistently, especially in that Runners in Scoring
Position category.
An aside here; I always thought that you were in scoring
position when you were on the bases and even at the bat a
home run, anyone? but in this age of sabermetrics and the
Elias Sports Bureau, we have to find a stat for every situation!
The surprising Pittsburgh Pirates seem to be fading which
is almost to be expected. They have had a great year all year
but they just right now dont have the overall roster to
contend for a whole season.
Still, for fans of the old Willie Stargell and Dave Parker We
Are Family era, its nice to see their fans have at least some
hope. They still can finish over .500 for the first time since the
early 1990s.
I am most definitely not counting the Indians out by any
means a colleague of mine in the office would have me shot
but you dont want to be falling behind at this stage. With
the Tigers of Justin Verlander playing well, games behind get
harder and harder to make up.
Still, the Indians have had a great season. Lets hope they
can get the ship righted in time.
I am waiting to see if Bud Selig ultimately gets his way
and Major League Baseball expands its playoffs, perhaps with
another wild card. It will extend the season into November but,
hey, it is the Fall Classic!
I know some purists didnt like the first wild card but I,
for one, think it has been a great success. I can still remember
when my Orioles won something like 100 games in 1980 in
the Jim Palmer/Eddie Murray/Ken Singleton era and didnt
make the playoffs because the dreaded Yankees beat them out.
Wow, the best teams definitely ALL got into the second season
THAT year, didnt they?
I know no playoff system is perfect and that generally wont
happen but still ...
I am not sure they can realign and go four divisions in the
National League and stay with three in the American unless
they plan on further expansion I dont like that because it
would again dilute the talent a bit too much or they go to a
4-3-3-4 look. I dont have any fondness for that, either.
Still, personally, I would like to see the Reds and Indians in
the same division, just like the Mets and Yankees, Cubs and
White Sox, Dodgers and Angels, etc. The whole idea that this
breaks tradition is no argument; the creation and maintenance
of the designated hitter smashed that to pieces.
Just throwing out suggestions to start with but how about
the Reds, Indians, Tigers and Pirates in the same division?
Would the Browns/Steelers rivalry carry over into baseball, for
example?
With the rise in expenses such as travel, something like this
might negate some of that, plus expand some natural rivalries.
Why should the Reds and Indians only meet a couple of
times a year over a 162-game schedule? Or Yankees/Mets?
Just thinking out loud; I am sure not all will agree there
is no perfect solution but I think it should at least be con-
sidered.
Wait and see.
Here we are again!

PHILADELPHIA Vance Worley
threw seven impressive innings, John
Mayberry Jr. and Shane Victorino hit
homers and the Philadelphia Phillies
beat the New York Mets 9-4 on
Tuesday night.
Worley (9-1) blanked the Mets until
the seventh. The rookie right-hander
allowed one run and five hits and had
a career-high nine strikeouts to win his
seventh straight decision.
Playing without Jimmy Rollins,
Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez, the
Phillies got 13 hits and rocked Jonathon
Niese (11-11). The red-hot Mayberry
and Victorino each had two hits and
three RBIs to help Philadelphia earn its
major league-best 83rd win.
Niese gave up eight runs and 10
hits in 4-plus innings in his worst start
of the season. He is likely to go on the
disabled list with a rib injury.
Lucas Duda hit a 2-run homer for
New York.
Brewers 11, Pirates 4
PITTSBURGH Casey McGehee
homered during Milwaukees 7-run
second inning and the surging Brewers
rebounded from a rare recent loss with
a win over Pittsburgh.
McGehees 10th homer of the sea-
son came with Ryan Braun aboard
and accounted for the final two runs of
a dreadful inning for Pittsburghs Ross
Ohlendorf (0-1), who was making his
first start since April 8.
Braun had a 2-run double earlier
in the inning for the NL Central lead-
ers, who are 24-4 since July 26. Nyjer
Morgan finished 4-for-6 with two runs
and two RBIs; Jonathan Lucroy had
three hits.
Marco Estrada (4-8) allowed two
runs over seven innings.
Josh Harrison hit his first major-
league homer for Pittsburgh.
Diamondbacks 2, Nationals 0
WASHINGTON Ian Kennedy
pitched seven sharp innings and Sean
Burroughs hit a 2-run homer to lead
Arizona over Washington.
Kennedy (16-4) allowed six hits,
struck out eight and added a single
and a double at the plate. J.J. Putz
pitched the ninth for his 31st save.
Burroughs homer to right field with
one out in the seventh inning was his
first since April 30, 2005.
Nationals starter Jordan
Zimmermann (8-11) held the
Diamondbacks scoreless on three
hits through six innings but gave up
two runs, two hits and a walk in the
seventh.
Reds 8, Marlins 6
MIAMI Yonder Alonso homered
and drove in four runs, including a tie-
breaking double in the ninth inning that
sent Cincinnati past fading Florida.
Dave Sappelt tied the game at
6 with a 2-run double and the Reds
scored four times in the ninth off closer
Leo Nunez (1-4). They were the first
career RBIs for Sappelt, who had
three hits.
Jay Bruce hit his 27th home run for
the Reds. Alonso, who attended high
school and college in Miami, had more
than 200 friends and family members
in attendance to see him go 3-for-4
while making his first start of the sea-
son at first base.
Aroldis Chapman (3-1) struck out
the only batter he faced. Francisco
Cordero pitched a scoreless ninth to
earn his 27th save in 32 chances.
Emilio Bonifacio homered and
drove in three for the Marlins.
Braves 5, Cubs 4
CHICAGO Craig Kimbrel tied
a major-league rookie record with his
40th save, Jason Heyward hit his first
career grand slam and Atlanta hung
on to win its sixth straight, beating
Chicago.
Kimbrel worked the ninth for his
40th save in 45 opportunities, tying a
mark set by Texas Neftali Feliz last
season. He ran his scoreless streak to
31 2/3 innings.
Aramis Ramirez singled with two
outs in the ninth for the Cubs, giving
him a career-high five hits while extend-
ing his hitting streak to 12 games. He
advanced to second when Heyward
bobbled the ball in right. Tyler Colvin
struck out to end the game.
Chipper Jones had three hits. So
did Heyward, none bigger than his
shot in the fourth. He connected after
Alex Gonzalez drew a 2-out, bases-
loaded walk off Casey Coleman (2-6),
making it 5-0, but Mike Minor (4-2)
nearly gave it all away.
Alfonso Soriano led off a 4-run fifth
with his 21st homer.
Dodgers 13, Cardinals 2
ST. LOUIS Clayton Kershaw
won his National League-leading 16th
game and Rod Barajas homered twice
in Los Angeles victory over fast-fading
St. Louis.
Kyle Lohse (11-8) was rocked for
a season-worst eight runs in three
innings, an imposing deficit against the
23-year-old Kershaw, who struck out
eight in six scoreless innings. Kershaw
(16-5) hiked his NL-leading strikeout
total to 207.
Matt Kemp hit a 3-run homer in
the first and Barajas had a solo homer
in the third and 3-run shot in the fifth
for his 11th multi-homer game. The
Dodgers hit a season-high four hom-
ers.
Second baseman Skip Schumaker
pitched the ninth for St. Louis and
allowed a solo homer to Aaron Miles.
Padres 7, Giants 5
SAN FRANCISCO Alberto
Gonzalez hit a go-ahead single in
the ninth inning, Kyle Blanks had a
2-run homer and San Diego beat San
Francisco for its season-best fifth
straight victory.
Nick Hundley doubled against
Ramon Ramirez (2-2) to start the ninth,
then Logan Forsythe sacrificed him to
third before Gonzalez singled up the
middle. After a wild pitch, Will Venable
added a run-scoring single.
Erik Hamren (1-0) retired pinch-
hitter Miguel Tejada on a lineout to
end the Giants 3-run eighth for his first
major-league win. Heath Bell finished
for his 35th save in 39 opportunities.
Rockies 8, Astros 6
DENVER Seth Smith and
Jonathan Herrera each hit a 2-run
homer to lift Colorado over Houston.
Alex White, one of four play-
ers acquired from Cleveland in the
trade that sent Ubaldo Jimenez to
the Indians last month, struggled in
his Colorado debut. He allowed five
runs and seven hits in six innings. Rex
Brothers pitched a scoreless ninth
inning to earn his first major-league
save for the Rockies.
Jimmy Paredes and Carlos Lee
homered for the Astros.
Colorado took control of a back-
and-forth game in the seventh. Smith
led off with a walk; one out, later
Herrera hit a line drive to right off
reliever Fernando Rodriguez (2-2) to
give the Rockies an 8-6 lead.
It was Herreras third homer and
first since May 12. Matt Belisle (8-4)
got the win.
American League
NEW YORK Brandon Allen
hit two tape-measure homers, Eric
Sogard connected for one that barely
cleared the wall and Oakland hung
on to beat New York 6-5 on Tuesday
night.
Brandon McCarthy ran the As
stretch of superb pitching into the
eighth before allowing a 2-out, 3-run
homer to Nick Swisher. The three
runs were one more than Oakland had
given up in the previous three games
combined.
The Yankees, who trailed 6-0 in
the seventh, rallied for two runs in the
ninth against closer Andrew Bailey
before Swisher flied out to the wall in
right-center with the bases loaded to
end it for his 17th save.
McCarthy (7-6) gave up eight hits
and struck out six in 7 2/3 innings.
Derek Jeter had three hits, tying
Rod Carew for 22nd place all-time with
3,053. Bartolo Colon (8-8) gave up five
runs for the second straight start.
Indians 7, Mariners 5, 1st game;
Mariners 12, Indians 7, 2nd game
CLEVELAND Anthony Vasquez
won his major-league debut and fel-
low rookie Dustin Ackley had three
RBIs as Seattle earned a split of a
day-night doubleheader, taking the
second game over Cleveland.
Vasquez (1-0) was one of five
first-year players in Seattles starting
lineup which scored five runs in both
the third and fourth innings. Ackley
got all three RBIs off Zach McAllister
(0-1).
The Indians won the opener with
a walk-off homer by Shin-Soo Choo to
snap a 4-game losing streak.
Kusoke Fukudome and Choo hit
solo homers and Jack Hannahan had
a career-high four hits for Cleveland,
which went 3-for-15 with runners in
scoring position.
Choos 3-run homer off Brandon
League (1-5) in the bottom of the ninth
gave the Indians a dramatic 7-5 win.
Royals 6, Blue Jays 4
TORONTO Eric Hosmer and
Billy Butler homered for Kansas City
and Bruce Chen won four consecutive
starts for the first time in his career.
Jeff Francoeur matched his career
high with four hits for the Royals. Chen
(9-5), a left-hander, allowed three runs
and four hits in 7 2/3 innings. He
walked one and tied a career best nine
strikeouts. Joakim Soria gave up an
RBI single to Adam Lind in the ninth
but finished for his 23rd save.
Kansas City jumped on Blue Jays
right-hander Brandon Morrow with a
3-run, 4-hit second.
Red Sox 11, Rangers 5
ARLINGTON, Texas Adrian
Gonzalez homered twice and Jacoby
Ellsbury made an immediate impact
in his return to the lineup as Boston
finally won a game in Texas.
Ellsbury led off the game with a
single, stole second and scored on
the first homer by Gonzalez, putting
the Red Sox ahead to stay. The All-
Star center fielder had missed three
straight games after getting hit in the
back with a pitch.
John Lackey (12-9) pitched 6 2/3
innings for his seventh win in his last
eight starts.
Colby Lewis (11-9) allowed seven
runs and nine hits over six innings,
including both homers to Gonzalez.
Orioles 8, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS Alfredo Simon
allowed one run and three hits in a
career-high eight innings and Vladimir
Guerrero and Mark Reynolds both had
three hits for Baltimore.
Nolan Reimold added a 3-run
homer for Baltimore. Simon (4-6) won
for the first time in four starts, striking
out a career-high eight. He retired 16
of the final 17 batters he faced and
didnt give up a hit after Luke Hughes
double in the third.
Minnesota starter Brian Duensing
(8-13) was out after just four batters
in the third inning as his struggles
continued. He gave up seven runs and
nine hits while losing his fifth straight
game.
Danny Valencia had a solo home
run for the Twins.
Tigers 2, Rays 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Brad
Penny pitched effectively into the sev-
enth inning and Alex Avila had an RBI
single for Detroit.
Penny (9-9) gave up one run and
eight hits over 6 1/3 innings. Phil Coke
allowed two doubles, two intentional
walks and struck out five over the final
two innings for his first save.
David Price (11-11) allowed two
runs and six hits in eight innings.
The game started after a 20-min-
ute delay because of a weather-relat-
ed problem with the lights at Tropicana
Field. The Rays say thunderstorms in
the area affected a power line running
into the domed stadium, which caused
the problem.
Angels 5, White Sox 4
ANAHEIM, Calif. Peter Bourjos
drove a single through a drawn-in
infield with the bases loaded in the
ninth inning and Los Angeles won its
fifth straight.
Howie Kendrick homered and
tripled as the Angels matched their
longest win streak of the season.
Paul Konerko drove in the tying
run for the White Sox with an eighth-
inning single that was his 2,000th hit.
After Erick Aybars 1-out single
off Jason Frasor (3-3), pinch-hitter
Alberto Callaspo moved him to third
with a single. Maicer Izturis walked to
load the bases and Bourjos singled to
left, easily scoring Aybar.
Jordan Walden (4-3) pitched the
ninth inning after the Angels got anoth-
er strong start from Ervin Santana,
who gave up nine hits and four runs,
pitching into the eighth inning in his
seventh straight start.

Answer to Puzzle
DEAR DR. GOTT: Your response
about the effects of alcohol
consumption missed many concerns I
wish you had discussed. Specifically,
you emphasized the social and
health impacts of binge and alcoholic
consumption, which are certainly quite
real. However, your discussion might
be easily dismissed by the AVERAGE
American drinker, leaving him or her
thinking that a couple drinks a day
is harmless or even, as my parents
believe, beneficial.
Daily consumption of alcohol
can increase a womans risk for
developing breast cancer, which is
already far too common. In addition,
please emphasize that one need not
have a problem to be consuming
sufficient alcohol to significantly alter
the risk of impaired health via obesity,
auto accidents, gallbladder disease,
colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease
and ischemic strokes.
For women in particular, two drinks
each evening is too much, especially
as they age. For teens, that same
level of moderate consumption is
correlated with higher rates of suicide,
pregnancies and lower academic
achievement. It should be considered
a cause for caring discussions and
intervention by every responsible
parent of a teen.
I dearly hope you will do a follow-
up article providing more specific
evidence on the concerns related
to commonly acceptable levels of
everyday drinking so the public is
more aware that it is not as healthy as
they may think.
DEAR READER: People have long
been aware of the harmful effects of
consuming alcohol in excess. This,
despite the fact that some studies
from 1999 by the deputy director of
the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholism (NIAAA) indicate that
moderate drinking may be associated
with a reduced risk of heart attack,
stroke and atherosclerosis. You might
remember that positive reports of
drinking red wine for cardiovascular
health came out around that time.
Here comes the difficult part. A
drink must be defined in terms of its
alcohol content, for which there is
great variation. For example, some
beer may contain 5 percent alcohol by
volume. A light beer may contain less
than 3 percent. Wine averages around
13 percent alcohol. Liquors typically
range from 40 percent (80 proof) to
60 percent (120 proof), but can be as
high as 95 percent (190 proof).
So can we say that a man or
woman who drinks two beers a day
is overindulging, as opposed to the
person who has one glass of scotch?
This makes the definition of moderate
somewhat difficult.
Even temperate daily alcohol
consumption can have an effect on a
persons general health, despite the
fact that there arent a great number
of studies available regarding patients
who drink in moderation. Rather, we
dwell on people who drink to excess.
However, when it comes to
discussing alcoholism, I failed to
expand my answer to cover the
fact that moderate drinking can be
habitual and can lead to eventual
abuse. The liver can be affected,
leading to cirrhosis; sexual function
can diminish, resulting in erectile
dysfunction in men or interruption of
menstruation in women; and the risk
of high blood pressure, heart failure
and stroke is elevated. Also, the lining
of the stomach can become inflamed,
leading to gastritis; eye weakness and
paralysis of the muscles of the eye
can occur; paresthesias (numbness
and tingling) of the hands and feet
may be present; and the risk of cancer
of the liver, throat, breast, colon and
other areas of the body is increased.
In addition, the development of new
bone can be interrupted, leading
to osteoporosis; and diabetics are
affected when alcohol interferes with
the release of glucose from the liver,
leading to hypoglycemia.
Frankly, almost every part of body
can be affected in a negative manner,
and the collective outcome can be
dismal. Therefore, the answer may
be not to drink in moderation that can
lead to excess.
Fortunately, help is available at
any stage. Clinics and facilities are
available to help with detoxification.
Therapy and counseling are available.
Oral medications such as Antabuse
may be prescribed if a person is
serious about shaking the addiction.
Vivitrol can be injected once monthly
by a physician or other health care
professional. Some people may gain
better control when performing yoga
or tai chi. Whatever it takes is what a
person should take advantage of.

Thursday, Aug. 25, 2011
Because you could be operating
in some of the higher financial realms
during the next year, it doesnt mean
its OK for you to take some wild
gambles. Study the issues at hand and
make your moves very slowly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Youre usually more secure doing
things along traditional lines, rather
than toying with new methods or
procedures. However, you could learn
something new by going out on a limb
a bit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You
might feel that doing things the usual
way is boring, and even though youre
yearning to try something different,
youll stick by tradition. Youll be
glad you did.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Dont be surprised if some sparks
fly in a relationship that youve been
treating rather casually. Its merely
that youll finally be seeing someone
for the wonderful person he or she is.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Your material desires can be
fulfilled by knowing exactly what you
want and how to go about getting it.
Make a sound plan before embarking
on your efforts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- If youre not quite sure how to
accomplish a big job using the new
way that everybody is trying, you had
better stick to the slower but proven
method. At least the work will get
done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Although youre likely to be rather
fortunate financially right now, dont
take any wild gambles on anything.
And when you do make a significant
outlay, be sure to investigate every
aspect first.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Even if the unexpected might annoy
and frustrate you, when it comes to
investments you arent likely to be
tripped up. This doesnt mean you
should go hog wild.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Without even trying, youre likely to
be the one who can easily influence
others. Use this power to encourage
someone you love to better themselves
or try something new.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- You should pay attention to your
behavior toward others, to your
tone of voice and what you have to
offer. You can make a good, lasting
impression when you use your talents
to help those around you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be
flexible and willing to do things the
way others want them handled, even if
you have to depart from your preferred
methods. Who knows, you might find
a new way of doing something.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Stand by your old pal rather than side
with someone new when trying to
resolve an issue or make a decision.
Loyalty is more important than whose
thinking is better or worse.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Try not
to be too easygoing with your funds.
You are likely to be amazed by how
much mileage you can get out of your
dollars when youre more careful than
usual about your spending.

SYNDICATE
Dear Annie: We live in a
small rural area. We love the
community, school, church,
etc., but I am sad for my
daughter.
Tess is a junior in high
school. About six months
ago, one friend became angry
with her for some reason
and managed to get the rest
of their group to ostracize
her, as well. It breaks my
heart that Tess no longer has
friends. She sits home night
after night. It also makes me
angry that one girl
can have so much
control over other
people. This is just
like bullying. And
those who allow
this to happen are
just as guilty as
she is. Shame on
them.
As a parent, I
want to jump in
and let them know
how hurtful they
are being to my
daughter, but I realize it will
only make things worse.
What can I do? -- Hurting
for My Daughter
Dear Hurting: This is
not just like bullying. It
absolutely is bullying. Some
of these things resolve them-
selves over time, although
six months is a long wait.
Did Tess do something for
which an apology would
help? Could Tess meet with
the ringleader privately and
come to an understanding?
If no reconciliation is pos-
sible, please encourage Tess
to find new friends both in
and out of school -- perhaps
at church or through sports
groups. She also can check
kidshealth.org to find better
ways to cope. She should not
be moping around at home.
And if these mean girls are
verbally or physically nasty
to Tess, you should report
it to the principal and make
sure they are held account-
able for their behavior.
Dear Annie: I have a
circle of friends Ive known
since high school. One of
them, Aiden, has the foul-
est mouth imaginable. Back
then, we all thought it was
hysterical that someone could
fit in six or more f-bombs per
sentence. We used to imitate
him, and Im sure he thought
we were impressed by this
ability.
We are all adults now with
children, but his potty mouth
continues. Aiden thinks noth-
ing of swearing continuously
in front of his own children
and anyone elses. Worse, he
dominates every conversa-
tion and speaks louder than
anyone else.
Over the years, this has
alienated him from us and
kept him from being invited
to our get-togethers. My wife
and I are the only ones who
keep in touch with Aiden,
but after an hour or so of his
foul language, we make our
excuses to leave. Could this
be an obsessive-compulsive
disorder? -- Heard Enough
Dear Heard: Its more
likely an ingrained bad habit
that Aiden hasnt had the
energy or desire to fix. You
should tell Aiden
that his language
has become unbear-
able and he needs
to work on it. If
you still want to
stay in touch, you
can see him less
often and without
your children.
Dear Annie:
Heres my story
about the effective-
ness of counseling.
When my girls
were young, my husband
wore cowboy boots. Every
night when he came home,
he would yell, Pull my
boots! It was quite an ordeal
to get them off, so when the
girls heard him coming, they
would make a hasty retreat to
their rooms and I was the one
who got stuck.
It was a real bone of con-
tention, and I didnt know
how to handle it, so I went
for counseling. The coun-
selor had me try behavior
modification -- when I had
pulled off his boots a certain
number of times, he was sup-
posed to do something nice
for me. Yeah, right.
One day, I walked by a
store that sold Western gear
and found a boot puller. I
had never heard of it before.
I bought it, and the prob-
lem was solved. The girls
are long gone, and my hus-
band has passed away, but
the boot puller is still on the
floor by the door. -- Rapid
City, S.D.

Post 9-11: NYPD, CIA spy on Muslims
By MATT APUZZO and
ADAM GOLDMAN
Associated Press
NEW YORK In New Brunswick, N.J.,
a building superintendent opened the door to
apartment No. 1076 one balmy Tuesday and
discovered an alarming scene: terrorist literature
strewn about the table and computer and sur-
veillance equipment set up in the next room.
The panicked superintendent dialed 911,
sending police and the FBI rushing to the build-
ing near Rutgers University on the afternoon of
June 2, 2009. What they found in that first-floor
apartment, however, was not a terrorist hideout
but a command center set up by a secret team
of New York Police Department intelligence
officers.
The department has dispatched teams of
undercover officers, known as rakers, into
minority neighborhoods as part of a human
mapping program, according to officials direct-
ly involved in the program. Theyve monitored
daily life in bookstores, bars, cafes and night-
clubs. Police have also used informants, known
as mosque crawlers, to monitor sermons,
even when theres no evidence of wrongdoing.
NYPD officials have scrutinized imams and
gathered intelligence on cab drivers and food
cart vendors, jobs often done by Muslims.
Many of these operations were built with
help from the CIA, which is prohibited from
spying on Americans but was instrumental in
transforming the NYPDs intelligence unit.
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
the NYPD has become one of the countrys
most aggressive domestic intelligence agen-
cies. A months-long investigation by The
Associated Press has revealed that the NYPD
operates far outside its borders and targets eth-
nic communities in ways that would run afoul
of civil liberties rules if practiced by the federal
government. And it does so with unprecedented
help from the CIA in a partnership that has
blurred the bright line between foreign and
domestic spying.
Neither the city council, which finances the
department, nor the federal government, which
contributes hundreds of millions of dollars each
year, is told exactly whats going on.
A veteran CIA officer, while still on the
agencys payroll, was the architect of the
NYPDs intelligence programs. The CIA
trained a police detective at the Farm, the agen-
cys spy school in Virginia, then returned him
to New York, where he put his new espionage
skills to work inside the United States.
And just last month, the CIA sent a senior
officer to work as a clandestine operative inside
police headquarters.
While the expansion of the NYPDs intel-
ligence unit has been well known, many details
about its clandestine operations, including the
depth of its CIA ties, have not previously been
reported.
The NYPD denied that it trolls ethnic neigh-
borhoods and said it only follows leads. In a
city that has repeatedly been targeted by terror-
ists, police make no apologies for pushing the
envelope. NYPD intelligence operations have
disrupted terrorist plots and put several would-
be killers in prison.
The New York Police Department is doing
everything it can to make sure theres not
another 9/11 here and that more innocent New
Yorkers are not killed by terrorists, NYPD
spokesman Paul Browne said. And we have
nothing to apologize for in that regard.
But officials said theyve also been careful
to keep information about some programs out
of court, where a judge might take a different
view. The NYPD considers even basic details,
such as the intelligence divisions organization
chart, to be too sensitive to reveal in court.
One of the enduring questions of the past
decade is whether being safe requires giving
up some liberty and privacy. The focus of that
debate has primarily been federal programs like
wiretapping and indefinite detention. The ques-
tion has received less attention in New York,
where residents do not know for sure what, if
anything, they have given up.
The story of how the NYPD Intelligence
Division developed such aggressive programs
was pieced together by the AP in interviews
with more than 40 current and former New
York Police Department and federal officials.
Many were directly involved in planning and
carrying out these secret operations for the
department. Though most said the tactics were
appropriate and made the city safer, many
insisted on anonymity, because they were not
authorized to speak with reporters about secu-
rity matters.
The New York Police
Department is doing
everything it can to make

Millions of unseen species fll Earth
By SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON Our world is a much wilder place than
it looks.
A new study estimates that Earth has almost 8.8 million
species, but weve only discovered about a quarter of them.
And some of the yet-to-be-seen ones could be in our own
backyards, scientists say.
So far, only 1.9 million species have been found. Recent
discoveries have been small and weird: a psychedelic frogfish,
a lizard the size of a dime and even a blind hairy mini-lobster
at the bottom of the ocean.
We are really fairly ignorant of the complexity and col-
orfulness of this amazing planet, said the studys co-author,
Boris Worm, a biology professor at Canadas Dalhousie
University. We need to expose more people to those won-
ders. It really makes you feel differently about this place we
inhabit.
While some scientists and others may question why we
need to know the number of species, others say its impor-
tant.
There are potential benefits from these undiscovered spe-
cies, which need to be found before they disappear from the
planet, said famed Harvard biologist Edward O. Wilson, who
was not part of this study. Some of modern medicine comes
from unusual plants and animals.
We wont know the benefits to humanity (from these
species), which potentially are enormous, the Pulitzer Prize-
winning Wilson said. If were going to advance medical sci-
ence, we need to know whats in the environment.
Biologists have long known that theres more to Earth than
it seems, estimating the number of species to be somewhere
between 3 million and 100 million. Figuring out how much is
difficult.
Worm and Camilo Mora of the University of Hawaii used
complex mathematical models and the pace of discoveries of
not only species, but of higher classifications such as family
to come up with their estimate.
Their study, published Tuesday in the online journal PLoS
Biology, a publication of the Public Library of Science, esti-
mated the number of species at nearly 8.8 million.
Of those species, 6.5 million would be on land and 2.2 mil-
lion in the ocean, which is a priority for the scientists doing
the work since they are part of the Census of Marine Life, an
international group of scientists trying to record all the life in
the ocean.
The research estimates that animals rule with 7.8 million
species, followed by fungi with 611,000 and plants with just
shy of 300,000 species.
While some new species like the strange mini-lobster are in
exotic places such as undersea vents, many of these species
that remain to be discovered can be found literally in our own
backyards, Mora said.
Outside scientists, such as Wilson and preeminent conser-
vation biologist Stuart Pimm of Duke University, praised the
study, although some said even the 8.8 million number may
be too low.
The study said it could be off by about 1.3 million species,
with the number somewhere between 7.5 million and 10.1
million. But evolutionary biologist Blair Hedges of Penn State
University said he thinks the study is not good enough to be
even that exact and could be wrong by millions.
Hedges knows firsthand about small species.
He found the worlds smallest lizard, a half-inch long
Caribbean gecko, while crawling on his hands and knees
among dead leaves in the Dominican Republic in 2001. And
three years ago in Barbados, he found the worlds shortest
snake, the 4-inch Caribbean threadsnake that lays a single,
very long egg.

LOS ANGELES Al Pacino says he got burned while making
Scarface.
Literally, he grabbed the hot barrel of a gun that had just shot 30
rounds during one of Tony Montanas violent scenes.
My hand stuck to that sucker, the 71-year-old actor recalled.
He couldnt work for two weeks.
Pacino relayed the experience during a discussion with Scarface
co-stars Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia and F. Murray Abraham and
producer Martin Bregman at a party Tuesday heralding the films
Blu-ray release.
Part of the charm of the film, Pacino said, is that it wasnt ini-
tially a hit.
Its one of my favorites because of its whole evolution, he
said. It (was) sort of eviscerated after it opened by the press. ...
Nobody was fond of it, except it had good audience participation.
He said its almost a miracle audiences continue to discover
and appreciate the film.
He wanted to make it after being inspired by Paul Munis perfor-
mance in the 1932 original. Sidney Lumet suggested he make the
main character Cuban instead of Italian.
Pacinos Scarface is set in 1980s Miami, and Tony Montana
is an ambitious immigrant who runs a growing drug empire until
he eventually collapses under greed and addiction. Pacinos perfor-
mance as the gun-wielding, coke-snorting Montana is among his
most memorable.
He said that during the nine months he was shooting the film,
his character practically inhabited him. When a friends yappy little
dog lunged at him, Pacino said he cocked back his fist instinctively,
as if threatening a punch.
So I love Tony Montana, man, because I couldnt do that!
Pacino said Tuesday.
Bregman called Scarface a perfect, perfect movie.
Its timeless themes of greed, desire and ambition would make it
controversial even if it were just released today, Pacino said.
The Blu-Ray will be released Sept. 6. Scarface is also set to
play at 475 theaters nationwide on Aug. 31 for a special one-night
engagement.
NEW YORK (AP) Dominique Strauss-Kahn, his wife
by his side, walked to a Manhattan courtroom through shout-
ing protesters carrying signs that read: Put the rapist on trial
not the victim.
Just hours later, the French diplomat was a free man his
attempted rape case formally dismissed.
The former International Monetary Fund leader can leave
the United States after hes handed back his passport which
could happen as soon as today but he will return to France
to face an uncertain future that includes another investigation
into an alleged sexual assault.
I cant wait to get back to my country, but there are some
things I have to do first, he said in French outside the posh
Tribeca town home where he was kept under house arrest.
The New York case was dismissed Tuesday after prosecu-
tors said they no longer trusted the hotel maid who accused
him of attacking her in his luxury suite on May 14. Though
evidence showed Strauss-Kahn had a sexual encounter with
Nafissatou Diallo, prosecutors said the accuser was not cred-
ible because of lies she has told, including an earlier false rape
claim.
But an investigation continues in France into claims by nov-
elist Tristane Banon, who said Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her
in 2002. She recently filed a new criminal complaint. Strauss-
Kahns lawyers have called her account imaginary.
And in New York, Strauss-Kahn still faces a lawsuit Diallo
filed against him. Her attorneys said they would aggressively
litigate the civil case but it could take two years before it
gets to trial.
Strauss-Kahn may also take legal action of his own against
Diallo, said one of his lawyers, Benjamin Brafman. He could
file his own claims to counter Diallos lawsuit, and thats
certainly a consideration, Brafman told The Associated Press
in an interview. Because she did lie, and he has suffered enor-
mous damages as a result of those lies.
