HERALD
Delphos, Ohio cover certain treatments; they refuse to cover medications. They require us to prescribe one or two or more generic prescriptions before we are permitted to use branded prescriptions. Coverage is denied for branded prescriptions frequently and were left to treat with only generic prescriptions or over-the-counter medications in some instances. There is a whole host of complexities that have evolved in our system over the last decade or two and its getting worse by the day. Its getting harder and harder to provide care and get insurance companies to pay for it. Unfortunately, medical decisions arent made between doctors and their patients; they are made between doctors, patients and their insurance provider, if they have one. The insurance companies are involved in health care provision every day, all day long. Were affected from the standpoint of what tests we can order. We have to come up with a diagnosis to cover tests. In the good old days, we could use a rule-out diagnosis where if a patient had abdominal pain, for example, we could rule out appendicitis or cancer of the intestine. Now, we have to know the diagnosis before we can order tests but how is one supposed to know the diagnosis before one can order the test? Its a tough business out there; there are a lot of irons in the fire a lot of groups involved in health care provision. Theres a lot going on out there and it isnt always easy to get health care services in the hands of the right people at the right time from the right physician or hospital.

Local doctors hopeful on health care reform

DELPHOS Now that President Barack Obamas Affordable Care Act has passed Constitutional muster, politicians, pundits, insurance providers and others are expressing their thoughts. On the local medical front, board-certified family physician Dr. Perry Hux says the law has potential. I dont think there is anyone in the health care industry that would say health care reform isnt needed, Dr. Hux said. So far, I have seen positive results for my patients. Dr. Hux said most are frustrated with the current situation. We are putting billions of dollars into health care and we still have 50 million people who are underor uninsured, he said. Its criminal. I think we can do better. Obamacare and I dont like that word this has been in the works for 15 years or more, has the potential to give people easier and better access to medical care in general, more primary care services and preventive medicine. The preventative side of care is so important. It sets a good base and keeps people healthier. No one is going to be denied emergency care but thats late in the process and why there are billions of dollars going into care. If we can keep people well with regular care, we can reduce the costs. Its much more cost-effective to keep on top of a persons health than to come in later in the game and try to fix them. Hux hopes Congress holds up its end of the process so the law can move forward and reach its potential. Im not a politician or a Constitutional lawyer but if Congress can set politics aside, this law can help a lot of people, he said. Dr. Carl Wehri says the uninsured dont have any choice but to go to the emergency room and transferring those patients to Medicaid in order to get them into a doctors office will be difficult for the providers. The Affordable Care Acts goal is to improve access to health care and get insurance coverage for people so theyd have better access. Access to care is the biggest problem, so PPACA is putting some 20-30 million more people on Medicaid to provide some semblance of coverage, he said. The problem with Medicaid is it only pays a fraction of the fees. For most, if not all doctors, Medicaid payments are less than the production of the service. We generally get about 40 cents on the dollar and thats well below my cost. Wehri says health care is complicated but much of that is because of insurance companies greed-driven practices, such as denying coverage something the presidents reform legislation cracks down on. The insurers complicate things because their goal is to make a profit and theyre very good at collecting premiums but can be very poor at paying for services. Because of that, the insurance companies are used to denying coverage for various treatments. They also require physicians and hospitals to jump through a lot of hoops with precertification; you have to precertify treatments before theyll pay for it, he said. They refuse to

Surprise: parties split on Supreme Court decision

By MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com As easily predicted, partisans and talking heads sounded off Thursday on health care insurance reform along Americas partisan divide. In prepared statements, some champion the cause of the unemployed and underpaid while others decried the loss of freedom. Senator Sherrod Brown noted the justices who upheld the Affordable Care Act were nominated by presidents of both parties. Chief Justice John Roberts, who issued the deciding vote, was a Bush appointee. Supreme Court Justices appointed by presidents of both parties today made an independent legal judgment to uphold the health law. I hope todays ruling will put an end to the partisan bickering so that we can continue our focus on jobs and improving the economy, Brown said. The ruling means that more than 1.2 million Ohio seniors will continue to have access to cancer screenings and wellness exams through Medicare. Nearly 97,000 young adults in our state will continue to be able to stay on their parents health insurance until theyre 26. Parents of children with pre-existing conditions like cancer, asthma, or diabetes will no longer worry that they will

Were very disappointed that this flawed law has been allowed to stand. The Supreme Court has confirmed what everyone knew all along but that the White House tried to deny: this is a massive new tax on the middle class. Hopefully, Congress will eventually repeal the law altogether and replace it with improvements that actually address the most pressing needs in health care, especially the need to reduce costs in order to improve access, he wrote. Ohio Democratic Party Chair Chris Redfern said the reform act is not only Constitutionally sound, its morally responsible. He also hopes Kasich will comply with federal law. With this decision, millions of Americans can breathe a sigh of relief as we move forward to ensure that more of our children, parents and those with pre-existing conditions will have access to the health care resources they need to stay healthy and recover from sickness, he wrote.

Ohio to see fire, health risks with heat wave

By LISA CORNWELL Associated Press CINCINNATI A heat wave rolling across Ohio sent temperatures and irritability soaring Thursday, promising a scorching start to the July Fourth holiday weekend and an end to the relief provided by cool nights the past few weeks. Nicole Lewis said she could feel the effects of the increasing humidity as she waited for a bus in downtown Cincinnati, where the temperature in the early afternoon was in the mid-90s and rising. Im already feeling fussy and cranky, Lewis said, while fanning with a brochure. Dressed in shorts and a sleeveless shirt, Lewis said she wished she was home in her apartment complexs pool instead of heading to an orientation for her janitorial job. When it starts to get like this, I try not to go out in the day if I can avoid it, but I didnt have a choice, said Lewis, who lives in nearby Batavia. Low humidity the past few weeks and the drier ground allowed many areas to cool off at night like deserts, said Seth Binau, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services Wilmington office. But on Thursday, excessive-heat warnings and heat advisories were in effect throughout the state. Late afternoon temperatures in the Cincinnati region reached 103 and Daytons 102 degrees had tied the daily and monthly record for that city set in June 28, 1944, according to the National Weather Service. The thermometer had reached 100 degrees in Columbus by late afternoon, and Toledos 102-degree reading by 3:59 p.m. broke that citys daily record of 101 set June 28, 1934. Both Wapakoneta and Defiance in western Ohio reached 106 degrees by early evening, but no records were available for those cities. Cooling centers were designated in many parts of the state to help Ohioans needing to escape the heat. State health officials urged

people not to spend too much time outdoors and to stay hydrated to avoid heat-related illness over the next several days. In Cleveland, Mayor Frank Jackson asked residents to check on neighbors as temperatures were expected to be the 90s by Saturday. Darlene Backus, 58, of Cincinnati, was equipped with a bottle of water and a cap as she waited at another downtown Cincinnati bus stop. Backus, who was job hunting, said she has avoided turning on her air conditioner because of the expense. I need to keep electric bills down, so I will try to stick it out as long as I can, she said. Tom Curdes, owner of Barrons Lawn Service in suburban Toledo, said his employees pushed to get more yards done earlier in the week to beat the afternoon heat. He also sent out an extra mowing crew on Thursday so his workers would be done early. Were just trying to be as safe as possible, he said. High temperatures combined with increased winds and still relatively low humidity levels in parts of Ohio led the weather service to issue warnings of a high fire danger from noon into Thursday night, especially in the northwest area. Dry and windy conditions could lead fires to spread quickly if any develop, said Martin Thompson, a meteorologist with the weather services Cleveland office. We dont recommend outside burning, he said. Soaring temperatures and increasing humidity were predicted to create a doubleedged sword over the next five days in much of southwest Ohio, making the air more oppressive, but hopefully reducing the fire risk, Binau said.

STATE/LOCAL

OTTOVILLE School board members cleaned up the books for the 2012 school year on Wednesday. Treasurer Bob Weber went over financials and endof-year fund balances with Ottoville Board of Education members. Basically what you seeing in the financials is a lot of money moving around to close out the years appropriations and have the accounts match what we actually used, Weber said. A lot of times I have to guess what needs to be in an account or what will be brought in and at the end of the year, I have to make adjustments so everything balances. Webers report included an additional $3,530.32 from the state. I guess they found extra money and split it between all the schools and a little more than $3,000 was our share, he added. The board approved permanent appropriations of $5,496,241 for FY 13. Superintendent Scott Mangas reported preliminary test scores were in and Ottoville once again did very well. We are proficient in all area with scores ranging from 100 percent to 86.7 percent. We were up in percentages in seven categories, down in six and the same in one. The categories we were down in were a reflections or one or two students, Mangas said. The district is waiting for graduation, attendance and value-added scores for a complete look at the Ohio Grade Card, which is released by the Ohio Department of Education in August. I dont see any reason we shouldnt be an Excellent District again, he added.

29/31, 94 percent.

COLUMBUS (AP) Both the state Education Department and the state auditor are investigating allegations that officials in Columbus public schools retroactively altered student attendance records to boost ratings on the Ohio schools report card. With the districts own internal auditors also investigating, that brings to three the number of ongoing reviews of the data-fudging allegations. State schools superintendent Stan Heffner informed Columbus Superintendent Gene Harris of the departments involvement earlier this week and gave the district two weeks to turn over records and communications related to the attendance issue, the Columbus Dispatch reported Thursday. The district could be billed for the audit if the review finds district officials tampered with records, Heffner told Harris. The Education Department will continue to expect that you and your staff, including your internal auditor, will be readily available to pro-

State to probe attendance changes

vide necessary information or access to permit this special audit to occur, Heffner wrote in a letter to the district Monday. The records relate to the total number of students used to calculate attendance and test-passing rates and can affect juvenile truancy cases. State auditor David Yost is putting together a team of accountants, lawyers and investigators. The two agencies might team up to avoid duplication, said Education Department spokesman Patrick Galloway. In cases where districts are found to have altered report card data, the state can suspend or revoke the license of a district employee found to have changed data, withhold up to 60 percent of a districts state financial aid and assign state monitors to supervise the districts data management department. Harris has said questions about the data were raised after some students showing up in Franklin County Juvenile Court for truancy cases were told they werent truants. Harris said she con-

tacted state and district auditors after learning about irregularities last August. State rules require schools to count the test scores of students enrolled consecutively for most of the school year but not the scores of those who withdraw from school at midyear. Former district employees have said it is common practice for schools to withdraw and then re-enroll students with poor attendance records so their potentially poor test scores wont count, the newspaper reported. The district serves some of the states neediest students, and large urban districts typically struggle with attendance. Yet, all but two of Columbus 118 schools have attendance rates of better than 90 percent, and the districts attendance rate equals the state average of 94.5 percent. The Ohio Department of Education has systems to catch significant swings in school data reported by districts, and there havent been noticeable changes in Columbus attendance-rate data, the department has said.

Obama to go to firestricken Colorado today

By JULIE PACE Associated Press WASHINGTON As President Barack Obama surveys damage from raging wildfires and thanks first responders in Colorado today, he also will be seeking to show voters in one of the nations most tightly contested political swing states that he is a compassionate leader who can command in a crisis. Obama will arrive midday in Colorado Springs, where officials say more than 30,000 people have been evacuated in what is now the most destructive wildfire in state history. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed by the blaze that has encroached on the states second-largest city and threatened the U.S. Air Force Academy. The White House says Obama is making the trip because he wants to get a firsthand look at the wildfire damage in order to see whether additional federal resources are necessary. Obama also has walked tornado-stricken streets in Missouri and Alabama, and met with flood victims in Tennessee, all states that voted against him in the 2008 presidential election. Every decision the Obama White House makes to send the president to a disaster zone is done under the shadow of Bushs botched response to By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writers Hurricane Katrina, which irrevocably damaged his presidency. Bush was widely criticized as detached and uncaring when he viewed the hurricane damage from the air rather than meeting people on the ground. White House officials said at the time they didnt want Bushs presence to distract from recovery efforts. Obama has faced some criticism that his trip to Colorado could divert time and resources away from the efforts to fight the fires. While President Obama certainly has the right to come to Colorado whenever he chooses, I believe his visit tomorrow will be a distraction from what has to be our only priority, which is containing and then defeating these fires, Bill Owens, the former Republican governor of Colorado, said. But Colorados current Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper said Colorado officials from both parties support the presidents visit. They said, Youre right, this is not a political thing. This is what the president of the United States should be doing in a situation like this, Hickenlooper said. Yet Colorado, with huge swaths of independent-minded voters, does hold significant political weight in November. In a tight election, the states nine electoral votes could

US ambassador to Kenya resigns over differences with Washington

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) President Barack Obamas ambassador to Kenya announced his resignation today, citing differences with Washington over his leadership style. A former two-star Air Force general, Ambassador Scott Gration appears to have been forced by Washington to step down because of what Gration said were differences in priorities. The U.S. Embassy statement announcing Grations departure laid bare the disagreements the former military leader had with his civilian bosses at the State Department and other U.S. agencies. Gration who spent time as a child in Kenya and spoke the local language said being ambassador to Kenya was a dream job. It has been a great honor and a profound privilege to be a part of the U.S. State Department team for the past three years and to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Kenya and as the CEO of Team Kenya since May of 2011, Gration said. However, differences with Washington regarding my leadership style and certain priorities lead me to believe that its now time to leave. Kenya is East Africas largest economy and has strong ties with the U.S. The two countries cooperate on military affairs and have a shared interest in containing militant threats from Somalia. Gration spent his childhood as the son of missionary parents in Congo and Kenya, and speaks the dominant local language, Swahili. He served in the Air Force as an F-16 fighter pilot instructor, and spent two years in Kenya on assignment with the Kenya Air Force. Gration was a national security adviser to Obamas first presidential campaign and served as a special assistant to the president. Before being named ambassador to Kenya, he was Obamas special envoy to Sudan from March 2009 to April 2011. The resignation announcement today appeared to show a deep love for Kenya by Gration and his wife, Judy. Gration said the assignment was the perfect opportunity to use my deep-rooted knowledge of Kenya, its people, its language, and its culture, and my diplomatic, development, security, and humanitarian experience. He added that as we depart, we will deeply miss Kenya, the Kenyan people, our partners in the diplomatic corps, and our colleagues in the U.S. Mission. Our hearts will remain here with you and with the true friendships that will endure until death. Grations last day as ambassador will be July 28, just over 15 months after his swearing in. It is likely the post would be filled by a charge daffaires until a new ambassador is named after Novembers U.S. presidential election.

Tepid economic growth weighs on US job market

roughly 90,000 jobs a month. Thats considered too weak to lower the unemployment rate, which was 8.2 percent last month. Slow improvement in the economy threatens President Barack Obamas re-election hopes. He is likely to face voters with the highest unemployment rate of any president since the Great Depression. The Federal Reserve last week downgraded its outlook for 2012 growth. The Fed now predicts the economy will grow between 1.9 percent and 2.4 percent this year a half a percentage point lower than forecast in April. It doesnt see unemployment rate falling much lower this year. Hiring hasnt likely improved in June, based on the level of people applying for unemployment benefits. Weekly applications fell only slightly last week to a seasonally adjusted 386,000, the Labor Department said. Applications have climbed nearly 5 percent in the past two months. When applications are above 375,000, it generally means that hiring isnt strong enough to rapidly lower the unemployment rate. Economists are predicting that 100,000 jobs were added in June and the unemployment

make the difference between a win or a loss. The Obama campaign and a political action committee supporting him have spent more than $8 million in television advertisements in the state, according to Republican officials who track ad buys. Romney and outside groups backing his candidacy have spent over $4 million. The NBC/Marist poll found that Obama has advantages with Colorado voters on social issues and national security, while Romney has the advantage on reducing the national debt. The majority of voters in Colorado say the economy is their top issue in the November, but are evenly split over which candidate would be better at handling the economy. Colorados unemployment rate, at 8.1 percent last month, is just below the national average. The Obama campaign is seeking to rally support among Colorados growing numbers of Hispanics and young people, two groups where the president has an edge over Romney. The presumptive GOP nominee sees an opportunity to make up ground in the states traditionally Republican rural areas. His campaign is also hoping to appeal to middle-class voters in the vast Denver suburbs, who may be unhappy with the economy.

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy is growing too slowly to pull the job market out of a slump, according to the latest data that suggest June has been another weak month for hiring. Applications for unemployment benefits stayed above a level last week that is generally considered too high to lower the unemployment rate. And the annual growth rate for the U.S. economy in the January-March quarter was unchanged at a tepid 1.9 percent. Two government reports released Thursday added to the picture of an economy that is faltering for the third straight year after a promising start. Job growth has tumbled, consumers are less confident and Europes financial crisis has dampened demand for U.S. exports. Most economists dont see growth accelerating much from the first-quarter pace, although some are hopeful that lower gas prices could help lift consumer spending over the summer. Growth of around 1.9 percent typically generates By RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press

Cybercrime disclosures rare despite new SEC rule

WASHINGTON Hackers broke into computers at hotel giant Wyndham Worldwide Corp. three times in two years and stole credit card information belonging to hundreds of thousands of customers. Wyndham didnt report the break-in in corporate filings even though the Securities and Exchange Commission wants companies to inform investors of cybercrimes. Amid whispers of sensational online break-ins resulting in millions of dollars in losses, it remains remarkably difficult to identify corporate victims of cybercrimes. Companies are afraid that going public would damage their reputations, sink stock prices or spark lawsuits. The chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W. Va., is adding a provision to cybersecurity legislation that would strengthen the reporting requirement. The SECs guidance issued in October is not mandatory. It was intended to update for the digital age a requirement that companies report material risks that investors want to know. Rockefellers measure would direct the SECs five commissioners to make clear when companies must disclose cyber breaches and spell out steps they are taking to protect their computer networks from electronic intrusions. The SEC recently challenged Internet retailer Amazons decision to omit from its 2011 annual report references to the online theft of customer data held by Zappos, an online shoe company owned by Amazon. Amazon eventually agreed to modify the statement slightly, according to correspondence between the company and the SEC. But the company still argued that the Zappos attack was not covered by the commissions cybersecurity guidance because it had no material impact on Amazons business. Cybercrime is rampant and not confined to the United States. The head of Britains domestic spy agency said this week that cybersecurity ranks alongside terrorism as one of the United Kingdoms most pressing security challenges. In one recent case, an unspecified, London-listed company hit by a cyberattack incurred revenue losses of $1.2 billion, MI5 Director General Jonathan Evans said in rare public remarks in London. He

rate did not change, according to a survey by FactSet. The government will issue the June employment report on July 6. Jobless claims are still too high and show that employment growth is slowing and no progress is being made, said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. Employers added an average of only 73,000 jobs a month in April and May after averaging 226,000 a month in the first three months of the year. The report on the first quarters economic growth showed that U.S. corporate profits fell, the first quarterly decline since the final three months of 2008. U.S. corporations earned less profit overseas, the report said. Thats likely a result of Europes economic woes and slowing growth in countries like China and India. Lower overseas profits could discourage U.S. employers from adding some jobs in the second half of the year. With global weakness continuing ... corporate profits are likely to remain under pressure, a development that is unlikely to help the employment outlook, said Jeremy Lawson, an economist at BNP Paribas. did not identify the company or say which country was behind the attack. The U.S. has said China and Russia are the governments most frequently engaged in such hacking. What is at stake is not just our government secrets but also the safety and security of our infrastructure, the intellectual property that underpins our future prosperity, and the commercially sensitive information that is the lifeblood of our companies and corporations, Evans said. Research by a cybersecurity expert shows dozens of Fortune 500 companies have lost a wide range of valuable information to cybercrimes, including intellectual property, bank account credentials, restricted data about patients of pharmaceutical companies and internal legal records. Rodney Joffe of Neustar, an Internet infrastructure management company in Virginia, monitors networks used by online criminal groups and traces the origin of stolen information. He found evidence that 162 out 168 companies in the manufacturing, chemical and transportation sectors had been compromised. The names of the companies are being kept confidential for proprietary reasons, he said.

Turns out, that was just the start of Kentuckys party at the NBA draft. The Wildcats became the first school to have the top two picks and tied a record with six players taken overall Thursday night. After the New Orleans Hornets made the long-expected selection of Davis, Charlotte followed by taking fellow freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Saying he was nervous even though his selection was no surprise, Davis shared an embrace with Kidd-Gilchrist, seated at a nearby table. My arm was shaking and my hands were sweaty. Got up and hugged Michael, my best friend, wanted to hug him for a minute, Davis said. When my name got called, wanted to make sure he stayed close. He did following Davis as the next player to climb up and shake Commissioner David Sterns hand. Its crazy, Davis said moments after Kidd-Gilchrists selection. Michael is a great player. We have two down and four more to go. Hopefully, all of them will go in the first round. They didnt, the only disappointment for the Wildcats. They settled for four in the

Rosol stuns crowd by beating Nadal at Wimbledon

WIMBLEDON, England It was Lukas Rosol and not Rafael Nadal who looked like a 2-time Wimbledon champion used to pummeling opponents into submission on tennis biggest stage. It was Rosol not Nadal who sprinted to and from his chair during changeovers like he had a never-ending supply of energy, pumped his fist and shouted to his entourage in the players box. And it was the 100th-ranked, little-known Czech player making his first Wimbledon appearance not the 11-time Grand Slam winner who got better and stronger as the second-round match on Centre Court progressed into the night. He hit ace after ace to complete one of the biggest upsets tennis has seen in years. As surprising as Rosols 5-set victory over Nadal was, the manner in which he completed it Thursday was perhaps equally stunning. In the fifth set he played more than unbelievable, Nadal said. He wasnt the only one who struggled to believe what they were seeing. Rosol, who had lost in qualifying for Wimbledon in each of the last five years, simply outclassed Nadal with his powerful serving and booming ground strokes. He hit crosscourt backhand winners that measured 99 mph, he stepped up to whip scorching forehand returns and served so well that Nadal hardly tried to get to them by the final game. The last one he hit was his 22nd that wrapped up a 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 victory that no one had seen coming. Least of all Rosol himself. Im not just surprised; its like a miracle for me, he said. Like just some B team in Czech Republic can beat Real Madrid (in) soccer. But Rosol fully earned the win, bouncing back from wasting three set points in the first set to win the next two. After Nadal leveled the match in the fourth, organizers decided to slide the retractable roof out over Centre Court to allow the match to finish under the lights. That forced a 45-minute break that had Nadal agitated but seemingly made Rosol stronger. He came out and broke Nadal in the first game and never gave the Spaniard a chance to get back into the match. I was playing well in the fourth, Nadal said. I think I played a great fourth set. Sure, the stop this time didnt help me. Thats the sport. Nadal had previously been upset about Rosols behavior as he was preparing to return the Spaniards serve and complained about it to the chair umpire during one changeover in the third set. Two games later, Nadal bumped into Rosol

first round and a tie with North Carolina, which won the race to four picks all in the top 17 selections. Harrison Barnes (No. 7, Golden State), Kendall Marshall (No. 13, Phoenix), John Henson (No. 14, Milwaukee) and Tyler Zeller (No. 17, Dallas and later traded to Cleveland) all went between Kidd-Gilchrist and the next Kentucky player, Terrence Jones at No. 18 to Houston. Otherwise, it was the Wildcats night. Kentucky got its fourth first-round pick at No. 29 with Marquis Teague, another freshman, who is headed to Chicago as a possible replacement for the injured Derrick Rose. Doron Lamb went 42nd to Milwaukee; Darius Miller was 46th to New Orleans. Only UNLV in 1977 had six players drafted but none in the first round. Its been a long time since a school made such an impact at the top of the draft. UCLA had the Nos. 1 and 3 picks in 1969, when Milwaukee took Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then Lew Alcindor and Lucius Allen went third to the Seattle SuperSonics. Davis will begin his pro career in the same city where he ended it with a national title. College basketballs player of the year as a freshman was the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four despite shooting 1-for-10 from the field in the championship game, grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking six shots in the win over Kansas.

The 6-10 Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks, becoming a dominant defender after growing seven inches from the start of his junior year of high school. A season after the Hornets traded long-time star Chris Paul, Davis is ready to be their centerpiece, since playing for the Wildcats means he is already accustomed to plenty of attention. Charlotte, coming off a 7-59 season and the worst winning percentage in NBA history, had been open to moving the No. 2 pick if it found the right deal. Instead, Michael Jordans team went with Kidd-Gilchrist, whose selection by the Bobcats was loudly cheered, a sharp contrast from the boos Stern received when he came out to announce the picks. The new Charlotte swingman played in high school at nearby St. Patricks in Elizabeth, N.J., and fans chanted MKG! MKG! as he walked off the stage. Though he and Davis talked before the draft, they didnt discuss the history the Wildcats were about to make. Floridas Bradley Beal went third to Washington, making it three SEC freshman in the first three picks. Cleveland followed with the surprisingly early pick of Syracuse sixth man Dion Waiters at No. 4. Thomas Robinson of Kansas, who hoped to go second, fell to Sacramento at No. 5. Portland took Weber States Damian Lillard at No. 6 with its first of two lottery picks and Barnes was taken seventh by Golden State.

After Washingtons Terrence Ross went to Toronto and Connecticuts Andre Drummond to Detroit, the Hornets rounded out the top 10 by taking Duke guard Austin Rivers with a pick they acquired in the Paul trade. Davis was the only clearcut pick entering the draft and there were some early surprises. Players such as Waiters and Ross went higher than expected, while Robinson dropped to the Kings. I really didnt know where I was going to end up at but it is a bit of a surprise, he said, tearing up when talking about his difficult journey that included the deaths of multiple family members in college. I didnt work out for Sacramento at all; I probably talked to them about once. But Im here, so Im meant to be here. Houston took Jeremy Lamb of Connecticut at No. 12 with its first of three top-20 picks. But the Rockets, who also had the Nos. 16 and 18 picks, were hoping not to use all of them, instead packaging them for an established player after their pursuit of the Lakers Pau Gasol fell through last year. Rockets tabbed Iowa States Royce White at No. 16 and Terrence Jones two picks later. Jared Sullinger, once considered a top-10 pick, ended up in a draft free-fall over concerns with his back but was finally taken at No. 21 by Boston. The Celtics followed with Fab Melo of Syracuse, giving them two potential replacements if Kevin Garnett doesnt return.

The Associated Press NL PHILADELPHIA A.J. Burnett threw 6 2/3 sharp innings to win his eighth straight start, Casey McGehee hit a 3-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday. Pedro Alvarez also went deep for Pittsburgh. The surprising Pirates, seeking their first winning season since 1992, are 40-35 and second in the NL central. Burnett (9-2) allowed three runs and six hits, striking out seven. Its the first time a Pirates pitcher has won eight in a row since Dock Ellis in 1974. Joel Hanrahan tossed a scoreless ninth for his 20th save. Eric Kratz and Hunter Pence hit homers for the Phillies. Kendrick (2-8) gave up five runs before he recorded a second out in the first. GIANTS 5, REDS 0 SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner pitched a 1-hitter, allowing only Ryan Hanigans solid single leading off the sixth inning, as San Francisco threw its franchise-record fourth straight shutout. Bumgarner (10-4) struck out eight and walked two in winning his fifth straight decision. San Francisco moved alone into the NL West lead for the first time this year. The Giants became the 17th team to have four or more consecutive shutouts since 1918. The Baltimore Orioles did it most recently, with five straight in 1995. ROCKIES 11, NATIONALS 10, 11 INNINGS DENVER Marco Scutaros RBI single in the 11th inning lifted Colorado after it squandered an early 7-run lead. Jonathan Herrera doubled with one out off Craig Stammen (3-1). After pinch-hitter Jason Giambi walked, Dexter Fowler hit a fly ball to deep center that was caught by Bryce Harper. Herrera tagged up and took third on the play with pinch-runner Christian

Friedrich advancing to second. Scutaro, who was 13-for-68 with runners in scoring position, then completed a 7-pitch at-bat with a single to right-center. Adam Ottavino (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings and struck out five, including all three batters in the 11th. Harpers homer in the ninth off Colorado closer Rafael Betancourt tied the score and sent the game into extra innings. DIAMONDBACKS 3, BRAVES 2 ATLANTA Chris Young hit a tiebreaking homer against Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel in the ninth inning to lifting Arizona. Jason Kubel had a 2-run double in the sixth to tie the score for the Diamondbacks. Trevor Bauer, the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2011, did not receive a decision in his major-league debut for Arizona after he was called up from Triple-A Reno earlier. David Hernandez (1-0) earned the win with a scoreless eighth, allowing no hits, walking two and striking out the side. J.J. Putz got the last three outs for his 14th save in 17 chances. Kimbrel (0-1) allowed just one hit the first homer hes allowed this season and struck out one. METS 3, DODGERS 2 LOS ANGELES David Wright hit a solo homer and RBI double as the New York Mets sent the Dodgers to their fifth straight loss. Los Angeles ended its 33-inning scoreless drought in the fourth, with Dee Gordon crossing the plate. But the Dodgers couldnt break through against the Mets bullpen and dropped from the top of the NL West standings. Chris Young (2-1) allowed two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out six and walking none. Bobby Parnell, getting his first save opportunity since closer Frank Francisco went on the DL, pitched a perfect ninth inning for his first save of the year. Chris Capuano (9-3) gave up three runs and five hits in seven innings.

and didnt acknowledge the contact as they walked to their chairs for a break. Rosol felt Nadal was simply trying to mess up his concentration and kept his cool. Rosol won his final 13 service points, seven with aces. Top-ranked Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and defending champion Petra Kvitova all won on the womens side and Andy Murray might prove to be the biggest beneficiary of Nadals loss. The two were set to face each other in the semifinals but Murrays side of the draw now looks wide open as he tries to become the first British man since 1936 to win the grasscourt Grand Slam. Murray beat Ivo Karlovic 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (4) on Centre Court in the match before Nadals. Karlovic then accused the line judges of favoring Murray after calling a number of foot-faults against the Croat.

PADRES 7, ASTROS 3 HOUSTON Alexi Amarista launched a grand slam for his first major-league homer, capping a 6-run rally in the ninth inning off Houston closer Brett Myers and lifting the San Diego Padres. Andrew Cashner held Houston hitless for six innings in only his third bigleague start. Carlos Lee broke up the bid with a 1-out single in the seventh and Brian Bogusevic followed with a homer for a 2-1 lead. Nick Vincent (1-0) got the win. With two outs and the score 3-all, Amarista homered into the second row in right field off Myers (0-3). AL TORONTO Rookie Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo each hit 2-run homers, Alberto Callaspo added a solo shot and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-7 on Thursday night for their 14th victory in 18 games. Trout had two hits and raised his AL-leading average to .345. The Angels have won 14 of their last 15 road games. Torontos Jose Bautista hit his major league-best 26th homer, a 3-run drive in the fifth. It wasnt enough as the last-place Blue Jays slumped to their third straight defeat. Brett Cecil (1-1) lost for the first time in three starts. Albert Pujols had four of Los Angeles 14 hits. Dan Haren (6-7) allowed six runs and seven hits in six innings to win consecutive starts for the first time since May 29. Ernesto Frieri finished for his 10th save. WHITE SOX 4, YANKEES 3 NEW YORK Dayan Viciedo hit a 3-run homer off David Robertson in the ninth inning after a throwing error and the Chicago White Sox rallied past the Yankees. Reliever Clay Rapadas wild toss to second base on a potential doubleplay ball set up the AL Central-leading White Sox. With closer Rafael Soriano not available after pitching the past two games, the Yankees had their 5-game

winning streak end. Derek Jeters bid for a 2-run homer was caught by rightfielder Alex Rios with his back against the wall for the final out as Addison Reed got his 11th save. Mark Teixeira homered off Hector Santiago (2-1) in the eighth to make it 3-1. Viciedo was the first batter to face Robertson (0-2). TIGERS 5, RAYS 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Miguel Cabrera had four hits and drove in two runs, leading Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers over Tampa Bay. Scherzer (7-5) allowed two runs and four hits in 6-plus innings in his second start following the death of his brother earlier this month. Jose Valverde pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 17 opportunities. Cabrera homered and doubled. His sixth-inning RBI single off James Shields (7-5) gave Scherzer a 4-1 lead. INDIANS 7, ORIOLES 2 BALTIMORE Johnny Damon and Asdrubal Cabrera hit 3-run homers, Shin-Soo Choo had a solo shot and the Cleveland Indians beat Baltimore to end a 5-game losing streak. Recalled from Triple-A before the game, rookie Zach McAllister allowed two runs and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. McAllister (2-1) struck out six and walked one in his fifth career start. J.J. Hardy homered for the Orioles, who have lost 7-of-9. Rookie Wei-Yin Chen (7-4) gave up six runs in 6 1/3 innings. MARINERS 1, RED SOX 0 SEATTLE Felix Hernandez matched his career high with 13 strikeouts in a brilliant 5-hit complete game and John Jasos pinch-hit single in the bottom of the ninth scored Casper Wells to give the Mariners the win over the Boston Red Sox. Hernandez (6-5) tossed his fifth career shutout and was one of the first ones out of the Mariners dugout after Wells belly-flop onto home plate. Wells lined a 1-out double off Scott Atchison (2-1) into the left-center field gap in the ninth. After an intentional walk, Jaso came on as a pinch-hitter. He lined the first pitch for Atchison into right field for a single and Wells was waved around from third. RANGERS 7, ATHLETICS 6 ARLINGTON, Texas Leadoff man Ian Kinsler got four hits, scored three runs and stole two bases, sending the Texas Rangers past the Oakland Athletics for their 11th win in 13 games. Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre and David Murphy each drove in two runs for Texas in a game that lasted 3 hours, 54 minutes. Scott Feldman (2-6) won despite allowing nine hits in five innings. Joe Nathan earned his 18th save.

Becoming the hipster antithesis

That would be a fatal mistake. Defining the term hipster is a task that has baffled researchers -- from advertising executives to college administrators. Kerzich finds it interesting that whenever he types a word like hipsterdom into his computer, the software underlines the term with the red, squiggly line that suggests it is not a real word. The problem is that hipsters do exist, and their culture is real -- and growing. If religious leaders want to understand what is happening, Kerzich said, they must realize that there is more to the hipster ethos than Rat Pack hats, 50s dresses, plaid blazers, skinny ties, skinny jeans, rumpled hair, flashy accessories and occasional flashes of androgyny. In his book, Hipster Christianity, the evangelical writer Brett McCracken noted: The only real requisite to being a hipster is a commitment to total freedom from labels, norms and imposed constraints of any kind. And this attitude must be very public, which is why hipsters are fairly easy to spot. ... The hardest part of the whole endeavor is also the most crucial: they must look like they dont care how they look. There is more to this stance than mere appearances, he stressed. While there is no hipster creed, there are common attitudes. Chief among them is the instinct to be better than anyone else, noted McCracken. Hipsters view any sort of prescribed system or hierarchy as absurd. ... They project themselves as being totally independent of any controlling influence, and masters over their own life and meaning. The result is a brand of fierce individualism verging on or leading to apathy, said Kerzich. At the same time, however, many hipsters see themselves as true originals, seekers and deep thinkers who want to escape the shallow, mundane, ordinary world of mass culture. For some, the radical demands of an ancient faith may actually seem countercultural -- not boring. Thus, in an online essay on evangelizing hipsters, he urged pastors and youth workers to start frequenting places that hipsters tend to congregate, such as coffee shops, pubs and bookstores. Yes, a minister wearing a clerical collar is sure to be greeted with skepticism in such a setting. However, before long, some of the locals will start asking tough, honest questions -- if the min-

The Herald 7

By Terry Mattingly Christopher Kerzich is preparing to permanently embrace a truly retro, timeless look. The basics -- black jacket, black pants and black shirt -- will be stark and radical, providing a kind of this is who I am vibe. Black fedoras, scarves and long overcoats are optional. For accessories, hell have a silver cross and a white collar. In other words, Kerzich is a seminarian at the North American College in Rome, preparing for his 2014 ordination as a Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Although this wardrobe will stand out in almost any crowd, the last thing Kerzich expects to be is hip. If anything, he hopes people his age and younger will see him as the antithesis of hip, which he believes will help him relate to the masses of fashionable young people known as hipsters. If you are going to try to reach out to hipsters, the main thing you have to be is authentic. You have to be real. You have to be rooted in your faith, said the 28-yearold seminarian, during a recent home visit. The one thing you cannot try to be is hip. You cant try to be something youre not.

ister is truly accessible. Also, more religious leaders are going to have to dive into social media, said Kerzich. It is no longer optional for faith groups to have a presence on YouTube or for bishops and other leaders to dialogue with critics, seekers and the faithful through Twitter and Facebook. Once again, being hip is not the goal. The goal is to be available. No one likes someone who tries to belong to a group unnaturally, wrote Kerzich. Those attempting to reach hipsters do not need to act like a member of their subculture. This movement focuses on being original and different. Thus, one should communicate how the message of Christianity is different than the messages emanating from society. For priests and seminarians, remember your ministry is different, so confidently accept this reality, Kerzich said. One key to evangelizing this group is to become accepted by them without trying to become one of them.

Coconut oil is versatile and affordable. Its the oil of choice for frugal families. Keep some on hand to use in your kitchen for cooking and a myriad of other uses around your home. How do you use coconut oil? Here are a few ideas: Homemade deodorant and toothpaste: Its cheaper to make your own deodorant than to buy over-thecounter products. One reader, D.L. from Florida, shares: As a part of my new 80/20 raw lifestyle I have really been putting a great deal of effort into thinking about not just what I put into my body, but also what I put on it. Everything you put on your skin is absorbed into your blood stream. If you wouldnt eat it, maybe you shouldnt put it on your skin. I have been using frugal and natural alternatives for several healthcare products. D.L. shares the following recipes for homemade deodorant and toothpaste, both of which make great use of coconut oil: Deodorant: Mix equal parts organic virgin coconut oil (melted), baking soda and corn starch and store in jar. Apply with your fingers or a cotton ball. The best time to apply deodorant is right after a shower and/or before bedtime. Toothpaste 2 tablespoons virgin organic coconut oil (Helps prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay) 3 tablespoons baking soda 20 drops peppermint essential oil A few drops liquid stevia Mix melted coconut oil with remaining ingredients and store in a jar. Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, so no need to be concerned with dipping your toothbrush in the jar. Popcorn: Coconut oil is what the theaters use, and its so good! Another reader, Tonya, shares: We pop our popcorn in coconut oil on the stove in a big pot. When its done, all I add is a bit of salt and its just like going to the movies! My kids beg for my homemade popcorn! Season cast iron: While many people season their cast iron pans with animal fat, you can use coconut oil with wonderful results.

Many uses for coconut oil

Sara Noel

Frugal Living
Hair and skin: You can use organic, unrefined coconut oil on your hair and skin. On hair, you can use it as a leave-in conditioner, hot oil treatment (wash hair after treatment) or as a styling gel. You should notice results within a short time. Another reader, Cheryl from Ohio, shares: It also cools hot flashes when you put a heavy coating on your scalp and hair (towel over pillow) and on your feet before bed. Wash it out of your hair in the morning. It leaves hair silky soft and helps with frizzy hair from humidity, too. I experienced fewer night sweats during menopause when I did this. Replace your moisturizer or makeup remover with organic extra virgin coconut oil. Its good for fighting acne or as an aftershave as well. It can also be applied and used as a bug repellent. If you ever need to remove gum from hair, coconut oil can work to get it out. It smells better and is less messy than using peanut butter. Homemade pancake mix: If you make your own bulk pancake mix for your pantry, use coconut oil. Another reader, Karen from Kansas, shares: Coconut oil is a good choice over shortening or vegetable oil if you are storing baking mix recipes made with all-purpose flour at room temperature, because it doesnt go rancid at room temperature.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 2012 Friends could prove to be a blessing for you in the year ahead, both career-wise and socially. Their input might help you get a better job and/or introduce you to people with whom youll become close and who will expose you to many new, fun activities. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It wont hurt your image today to admit to not being able to do something. However, it would arouse the ire of others if you pretend to be able to do something that they want to but cant. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Instead of treating certain fun, competitive activities for what they are -- merely games -- you might take things seriously and take some foolish risks. Stick to your comfort zone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Respect the talents and abilities of others, but just because you cant do some things that others can, dont credit them with bigger assets than they have. It would unnecessarily make you feel inadequate. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dont spread things on too thick, and make sure you have all the facts before you speak up. Persons who usually take you at your word might challenge what youtell them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you find yourself in the position of making a choice between paying off an old obligation and buying something new, you know it would be smarter to rid yourself of debt. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful, because even those who are usually supportive of you might not stand up for you. Plus, your enemies are likely to be more actively working against you than usual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make a list of your duties and try to eliminate them one at a time. If you allow things to pile up on you, chances are you will lose your footing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- All it will do is make both parties angry if you allow yourself to get caught in the middle of two warring friends. Stay out of it, no matter whom you think is right or wrong. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Success is possible, but only if you rely more upon yourself and less upon Lady Luck. Unfortunately, when youll need her the most, she might be cozying up to your opponent. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Tell it like it is, even if you think it might put you in a bad light in some peoples eyes. If you attempt to color the facts, it could make things far worse in other ways. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -You might not be as sharp of a horse trader as the person youre doing business with, so be extra careful. That individual may be trying to take the whole farm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Since you do have a natural ability to easily see both sides of an issue, you cant help but use it. However, if you become too obsessed with weighing and balancing everything, you could be rendered ineffective.

(Continued from page 1)

A: The ruling affects virtually every American. Obamas health care law tells almost everyone they must be insured and makes sure that coverage will be available to them even if they are already ill or need hugely expensive care. It helps the poor and many middle-class people afford the cost. And it requires insurers to provide certain basic benefits, like preventive care without co-pays from the patient. Q: What did the Supreme Court say? A: The court upheld almost all of the law, including the most disputed part: the requirement that virtually all Americans have health insurance or pay a penalty. The court said the penalty is essentially a tax and thats why the government has the power to impose it. The ruling somewhat limits the plan to expand the Medicaid insurance program for the poor, a joint effort of the federal government and states. It says the government may not withhold a states entire Medicaid allotment if it doesnt participate in the expansion. Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the courts four liberal justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to form the 5-4 majority. Q: What does the decision mean for the November election? A: Its a big win for Obama, dousing accusations that his signature legislation was an unconstitutional power grab. But Republicans hope the courts ruling will fire up their supporters and inflame popular opposition to the law. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and GOP congressional candidates promise to repeal the law if voters put them in power. Q: Whats the law done so far? A: Some parts, like the elimination of co-payments for preventive care, are already in effect. Young adults can stay on their parents insurance up to age 26. Insurers cant deny coverage to children with health problems. Limits on how much policies will pay out to each person over a lifetime are eliminated. And hundreds of older people already are saving money through improved Medicare prescription benefits. Q: What else is coming? A: Unless Congress changes the law, starting in 2014, almost everyone will be required to be insured or pay a penalty. Subsidies will help people who cant afford coverage. Most employers will face fines if they dont offer coverage for their workers. Newly-created insurance markets will make it easier for individuals and small businesses to buy affordable coverage. And Medicaid will be expanded to cover more low-income people. Insurers will be prohibited from denying coverage to people with medical problems or charging those people more. They wont be able to charge women more than men, either. During the transition to 2014, a special program for people with pre-existing health problems helps these people get coverage. The law is expected to bring coverage to about 30 million of the estimated 50 million uninsured people in the U.S. Overall, more than 9 in 10 of the eligible population citizens and legal residents will be covered. Q: Why will some people

still go without insurance? A: Its estimated that more than 20 million people will still be without coverage, including illegal immigrants, people who dont sign up and choose to face the penalties instead and those who cant afford coverage even with the subsidies. That number could be higher, depending on whether any states decline the Medicaid expansion. Q: Do people like the law? Not much. Some parts of the law have proven popular. But the individual insurance mandate is widely disliked. Each time The Associated Press has asked in polls, more than 8 in 10 Americans have said the government should not have the right to require everyone to buy health insurance. And the public has tilted against the law as a whole over the two years since it was passed. About half opposed it and a third were in favor in an AP-GfK poll shortly before the Supreme Court ruled. Many elderly Americans are worried about the cuts in reimbursements paid to hospitals and insurers by Medicare, which have already started and will grow deeper. Q: Does the insurance mandate affect many people? A: Relatively few because more than 8 in 10 Americans already have insurance coverage. Employers face their own mandate. Those with 50 or more workers will be fined if they dont provide insurance for their employees and opponents argue that will cost jobs at a time of high unemployment. Q: Why impose a mandate thats unpopular and wont require any action by most people? A: The mandate is designed to produce extra income from more healthy, paying customers so insurers can hold down costs for everyone. Without the mandate, insurance companies probably would find it too expensive to comply with requirements to accept customers with pre-existing health problems and not charge them extra. Companies sought to control their costs by cherrypicking the healthy as their customers. Q: Is the penalty for the uninsured a tax? A: It will be collected along with income tax each year by the Internal Revenue Service. But Obama and Democrats have avoided using the dreaded t-word. Instead, they referred to it as a penalty for failing to act responsibly and focused publicly on other legal justifications. Before the Supreme Court, however, the Obama administration also argued that the law was constitutional under the federal governments power to levy taxes. The court rejected the Obama administrations other two legal arguments for the law but accepted the tax one. Still, most of the 20 million or more without insurance will not be docked. By 2016, about 4 million people will pay the penalty, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated. They would pay $695 for each uninsured adult or 2.5 percent of family income, up to $12,500 a year. The IRS cant prosecute violators or place liens against them, however. Its only enforcement option may be withholding money from refunds. Q: What other new taxes are in the law? A: An assortment, including: Individuals making more

than $200,000 a year and couples earning above $250,000 will get new payroll taxes. These people are also hit with a 3.8 percent tax on investment income. Medical-device makers will pay a 2.3 percent excise tax, which probably will get passed along to patients. Taxpayers will have to spend more on unreimbursed medical care before they can claim itemized deductions. Q: What are Republicans saying? Obamacare was bad law yesterday. Its bad law today, Romney said. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Obama deceived Americans by denying that the penalty on the uninsured amounts to a tax. The ruling marks a fresh start on the road to repeal, he declared. The Republican-led House already has voted for repeal and its leaders plan to repeat that vote next month but repeal is stuck there so long as Obamas in the White House and Democrats lead the Senate. Q: What does Obama say? A: He says the decision upholds the fundamental principle that in the wealthiest nation on earth, no one should be ruined financially by an illness or accident. Obama called it a victory for people all over this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law. Q: If the law survives in Congress, will the health care issue finally be put to rest? A: No, theres more to do. Although the law is supposed to help curb costs, the nations spending on health care already is enormous and sure to climb as the baby boom generation ages. Skyrocketing budget deficits will force lawmakers to look for ways to save on the Medicare program for seniors and Medicaid for the lowincome and disabled and that means painful choices ahead.

War room type effort places firefighting assets

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Flames eat through the second story of a home in Colorado as a car sits in the driveway. In the background, an entire neighborhood glows orange as it goes up in flames. A wall of fire consumes the front of a home as a lone firefighter shoots futilely blasts it with water. A heavy air tanker working to slow the flames is dwarfed as a massive plume of smoke looms in the background. The dramatic images provide just a glimpse of this years fire season one that has broken records in New Mexico, forced thousands of people to flee their homes in Colorado and left an ashy, black scar across more than 1.6 million acres of the nations forests. Its been characterized that fire is war, and I suppose in a sense it can be characterized like that, said Tom Harbour, director of fire and aviation management for the U.S. Forest Service. Holed up in makeshift war rooms packed into school gymnasiums or nondescript warehouses on the fringes of wildfires burning around the West, incident commanders spend nearly every waking hour huddled around big maps, looking at computer screens or glued to the radio, trying to plot their next move.

Their decisions come after pouring over intelligence thats flooding in from crew leaders on the fire lines, weather forecasters, fuels analysts and experts who know the terrain. Elsewhere, teams of specialists surrounded by computers, monitors tuned into the news and maps smooth out the logistics of shuffling firefighters and equipment around the country. They tap into databases that list the nations resources and every firefighter whos qualified to fight wildfires. There are currently thousands of firefighters on the front lines, from Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona to Utah and Montana. Hundreds of engines, air tankers and helicopters have been mobilized. Weve got competition for firefighting assets, but were still at a point where weve got lots of available assets to mix and match on individual incidents, Harbour told The Associated Press in a phone interview. The National Interagency Fire Center on Wednesday ratcheted up the nations wildfire preparedness level one notch to the second highest level. There are five levels in all, and ever since it hit No. 3, staffers say its been a beehive of activity.
