Heat on White House to do more
By GREG BLUESTEIN

COVINGTON, La. —
The Obama administration’s
environmental chief dipped a
small cup into the oily mess at
the mouth of the Mississippi
and was surprised by what
came out.
“Oh my God — it’s
so thick!” exclaimed
Environmental Protection
Agency Administrator Lisa
Jackson who toured delicate
coastal wetlands that have
been invaded by the black
and orange crude.
She was one of several
top administration officials
in the Gulf Coast this week
as the White House is facing
increasing questions about
why the government can’t
assert more control over the
handling a massive oil spill
in the Gulf of Mexico, which
unfolded after a BP offshore
drilling rig blew up April 20.
The administration’s point
man on the spill rejected
the notion of removing BP
and taking over the crisis
Monday, saying the govern-
ment has neither the com-
pany’s expertise nor its deep-
sea equipment.
“To push BP out of the
way would raise a question,
to replace them with what?”
Coast Guard Commandant
Thad Allen, who is heading
the federal response to the
spill, said at a White House
briefing.
A memorial service was
scheduled for this afternoon
in Jackson, Miss., for the
11 workers who were killed
when the oil rig exploded.
The event was being held
by Transocean, which owned
the rig.
All of BP’s attempts to
stop the leak have failed,
despite the oil giant’s use
of joystick-operated subma-
rine robots that can operate
at depths no human could
withstand. Millions of gal-
lons of brown crude are now
coating birds and other wild-
life and fouling the Louisiana
marshes.
Those that Jackson sur-
veyed by boat have been bat-
tered for centuries by hur-
ricanes and man-made canals
that led to drastic erosion.
A crew used a machine to
separate oil from water and
slowly filled a four-foot high
storage tank with crude. For
oil deeper in the marsh, little
could be done and the veg-
etation there was expected
to die.
“At a minimum what we
can say is dispersants didn’t
work here,” Jackson said.
“When you see stuff like this,
it’s clear it isn’t a panacea.”
Jackson said she worried
further erosion from oil-dam-
aged marshes would leave
her nearby hometown of New
Orleans even more exposed
to future storms.
BP is pinning its hopes
of stopping the gusher on
yet another technique never
tested 5,000 feet underwater:
a “top kill,” in which heavy
mud and cement would be
shot into the blown-out well to
plug it up. The process could
begin as early as Wednesday,
with BP CEO Tony Hayward
giving it a 60 to 70 percent
chance of success.
Allen said federal law dic-
tated that BP had to operate
the cleanup, with the govern-
ment overseeing its efforts.
“They’re exhausting every
technical means possible to
deal with that leak,” he said.
“I am satisfied with the coor-
dination that’s going on.”
Interior Secretary Ken
Salazar suggested over the
weekend that the government
could intervene aggressively
if BP wasn’t delivering. “If
we find that they’re not doing
what they’re supposed to be
doing, we’ll push them out
of the way appropriately,”
he said.
But asked about that com-
ment Monday, Allen said:
“That’s more of a meta-
phor.”
Allen said BP and the gov-
ernment are working together,
with the government holding
veto power and adopting an
“inquisitorial” stand toward
the company’s ideas.
BP said it is doing all
it can to stop the leak. Its
chief operating officer, Doug
Suttles, made the rounds
of network morning news
shows to say that the com-
pany understands people are
frustrated.
“Clearly Secretary Salazar
is telling us that we need to
do this as expediently as we
can,” Suttles said. “And of
course we are.”
Hayward, BP’s chief
executive, walked along oil-
soaked Fourchon Beach and
said he had underestimated
the possible environmental
effects.
“I’m as devastated as you
are by what I’ve seen here
today,” Hayward told report-
ers after he spoke with clean-
up workers in white overalls
and yellow boots, some shov-
eling oily sand into garbage
cans. “We are going to do
everything in our power to

For The Record

Crime rates down for third
year, despite recession
By PETE YOST
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Crime
in the United States dropped
dramatically in 2009, buck-
ing a historical trend that
links rising crime rates to
economic woes. Property
crimes and violent offenses
each declined about 5 percent,
the FBI said Monday, citing
reports from law enforcement
coast to coast.
It was the third straight
year of declines, and this
year’s drops were even steep-
er than those of 2007 and
2008, despite the recession.
There were words of cau-
tion from experts.
“It’s fabulous news, but
I would draw an analogy to
global warming: Even if you
believe the long-term trend
is increasing temperatures, it
doesn’t mean you can’t have
a cold year,” said Jonathan P.
Caulkins, a professor of pub-
lic policy at Carnegie Mellon
University’s Heinz College.
Last year’s decline was
5.5 percent for violent crime,
including 7.2 percent for mur-
ders. The rate for property
crime was down 4.9 percent,
the seventh consecutive drop
for that category. The declines
had been a more modest 1.9
percent for violent crime and
0.8 percent for property crime
in 2008 and 0.7 percent and
1.4 percent respectively the
previous year.
Long term, said

The nation’s jobless rate
hit 10.2 percent last October,
reaching double digits for the
first time in 26 years. The rate
was 9.9 percent last month.

Ex-Detroit mayor faces possible jail time
DETROIT (AP) — Former
Detroit Mayor Kwame
Kilpatrick, sent to jail and
forced to resign over racy text
messages that showed he had
lied under oath, has presented
himself as a changed man since
his release last year — someone
working to repair his damaged
relationship with his family and
pay the $1 million in restitution
he owes the city.
But his inability — or
unwillingness — to tell the truth
about his finances could further
humble Kilpatrick and lead him
back to a cell today.
Wayne County Circuit Judge
David Groner will determine
Kilpatrick’s punishment after
ruling last month that the former
mayor violated his probation by
failing to report all assets and
failing to meet other conditions.
State Corrections officials
have suggested less than a year

neys want no jail time, saying it

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
(AP) — Lindsay Lohan left

bracelet that came with tough
restrictions on her probation
that could cut into her career

will hamper Kilpatrick’s ability
to pay the money he still owes.
But prosecutors say two to five
years in state prison would be
appropriate.
“The defendant has contin-
ued to lie to this court about
his ability to pay restitution,”
Prosecutor Kym Worthy wrote
in a 10-page sentencing memo-
randum submitted to Groner
on Monday. “This court cannot
reward lies, deceit and fraud
with more probation.”
Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to
obstruction of justice in 2008
after sexually explicit text mes-
sages became public, showing
he had lied under oath about
an affair with a staff member
in a whistle-blowers’ lawsuit.
He resigned, served 99 days in
jail, agreed to give up his law
license, repay the city $1 mil-
lion, and stay out of politics for
five years.
After he was released from
jail in February 2009, he found
The measures were ordered

he is working on his marriage
and trying to be a better father
to his three sons. He also has
been making $3,000 monthly
payments to the city of Detroit,
saying he hopes to repay every-
thing he owes.
But prosecutors contend
he continues to lie — that
Kilpatrick could afford to give
more and has intentionally hid
assets.
Groner agreed, saying
Kilpatrick failed to disclose
$240,000 in loans from promi-
nent businessmen. He also said
Kilpatrick failed to surrender
nearly $23,400 in tax refunds
and a share of cash gifts from
two people.

Mark Kellstrom, an ana-
lyst with Summit, N.J.-based
Strategic Energy Research,
said time might be running
out for BP to continue call-
ing the shots. “The rhetoric is
growing up in Washington for
the politicians to kick out BP
and let the government take
over,” Kellstrom said, though
he added that it would be a
mistake.
BP had hoped to try a top
kill earlier but needed more
time to get equipment into
place and test it. A top kill
has worked on aboveground
oil wells in Kuwait and Iraq
but has never before been
attempted so far underwater.
Suttles said the biggest
technical challenge is that the
fluid must be pumped in very
quickly, and engineers need
to make sure it goes into the
well, not out through the leak-
ing pipe, which could make
the leak worse.
A containment device is on
the seafloor, ready to be put
in place if the top kill fails or
makes the leak worse.
Engineers are working on
several other backup plans in
case the top kill doesn’t work,
including injecting assorted
junk into the well to clog it
up, and lowering a new blow-
out preventer on top of the one
that failed.

twice for drunken driving in
the span of five hours.
Police say Frank Rees
was arrested at about 2:30
a.m. Saturday on suspicion of
drunken driving and posted
a $500 bond just before 5:30
a.m. About two hours later,
Rees was again arrested on
suspicion of drunken driving,
this time after police reported
he hit a parked car.
Rees gave a breath sample
the first time he was arrested
and a blood sample the second
as he was taken to the hospital
for treatment of injuries suf-

He pleaded not guilty to both
misdemeanor charges in Missoula

Man bites man
in fight over dogs
NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP) —
It wasn’t quite man-bites-dog,
but there were men and there
were dogs and there was bit-
ing.
A sheriff’s office said
Monday that one man bit
another during a fight over
a couple of dogs at a park in
suburban New York City.
Rockland County sheriff’s
Capt. William Barbera says
two dog owners got into it
Sunday night. One didn’t like
the way their pets were play-
ing at a dog park in New City,
about 30 miles north of New
York.
Barbera says that a third
man tried to break up the fight
and that one of the combatants
bit him on the wrist. He says
that no one has been arrested
but that the case is still being
investigated.

STATE/LOCAL
Hospice grief camp helps
youth deal with loss
Community Health
Professionals’ Hospice will
conduct a day-camp for
bereaved youths from 8:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. daily July 20-22
at Camp Clay, 9196 Liberty-
Union Road, Van Wert.
“Rays of Hope” camp is
for children ages 6-17 who
have experienced the death of
a significant person in their
lives and will help youths
gain support, friendships and
a better understanding of the
grief process, according to
Jeanie Saum, RN, Hospice
Coordinator. Most impor-
tantly, Saum says, the grief
camp provides an environ-
ment where kids can express
openly their feelings of loss;
sometimes for the first time.
A variety of activities
including swimming, boating,
rope course, crafts, games and
more will be offered.
The camp is open to youths
from Allen, Auglaize, Mercer,
Paulding, Putnam and Van
Wert counties. No one is
denied due to financial need.
For more information, call
419-238-9223 or visit www.

Obama seeks to force
votes on spending cuts
By ANDREW TAYLOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — just three years ago, and so
President Barack Obama sent
legislation to Congress on
Monday that would allow him
to force lawmakers to vote on
cutting earmarks and waste-
ful programs from spending
bills.
The legislation would
award Obama and his suc-
cessors the ability to take two
months or more to scruti-
nize spending bills that have
already been signed into law
for pork barrel projects and
other dubious programs. He
could then send Congress a
package of spending cuts for
a mandatory up-or-down vote
on whether to accept or reject
them.
White House Office of
Management and Budget
Director Peter Orszag said
that while the new presiden-
tial power would not be a
panacea for the government’s
spending excesses, it would
“add to the arsenal of tools”
available to reduce spending.
In a phone conference with
reporters Monday, he said the
legislation was crafted to avoid
constitutional hurdles. Past
efforts “gave the knife to the
president” to make the cuts, he
said, while the Obama admin-
istration’s bill would give it
back to Congress to make the
Proposal moves up a vote on gays in military
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Gay
rights groups are urging
quick congressional approval
of a proposal to repeal the
ban on gays serving openly
in the military while allowing
the Pentagon to continue its
review of how to implement
the new policy.
“Without a repeal vote
by Congress this year, the
Pentagon’s hands are tied
and the armed forces will be
forced to continue adhering
to the discriminatory ‘don’t
ask, don’t tell’ law,” says Joe
Solmonese, president of the
Human Rights Campaign.
Rep. Patrick Murphy,
D-Pa., an Iraq war veteran,
is expected to introduce the
legislative proposal today. A
vote could come as early as
Thursday.
The White House had
hoped lawmakers would delay
action until Pentagon officials
had completed their study so
fellow Democrats would not
face criticism that they moved
too quickly or too far ahead
of public opinion in this elec-
tion year. When administra-
tion officials recognized they
could not stop Congress in its
effort to repeal the ban, they
invited gay rights activists to
the White House to work on a
compromise Monday.

Clinton turns on charm in China
By MATTHEW LEE
The Associated Press
BEIJING — Hillary
Rodham Clinton tolerates
but doesn’t share her hus-
band’s appetite for violent
action movies. Her daughter’s
upcoming wedding is “the
most important” thing in her
life. And she thinks Timothy
Geithner has great hair.
The U.S. Secretary of State
turned on the charm in Beijing
today, taking a break from
intense strategic and econom-
ic talks with Chinese leaders
in order to spend some time
promoting people-to-people
exchanges between America
and China.
With high-level officials
from both countries grap-
pling with differences over
North Korea, Iran and a host
of financial and trade issues,
Clinton used a series of public
events to stress the importance
of cross-cultural understand-
ing, offering up details of her
own family experiences.
In an interview with China
Central Television, Clinton
spoke proudly of the upcom-
ing marriage of her daughter,
Chelsea, and explained the
American concept of bridal
showers to a Chinese audi-
ence.
final decision on cuts.
Senate Democrats fili-
bustered the idea to death
Obama’s move would seem
like a long shot. But the
plan could pick up traction
in the current anti-Washing-
ton political environment in
which lawmakers are desper-
ate to demonstrate they are
tough on spending.
Orszag said lawmakers
concerned about the current
fiscal situation “are eager to
look for tools that will help us
to reduce unnecessary spend-
ing whenever and wherever
possible.”
The top two Democrats
in the House, Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and Majority Leader
Steny Hoyer, stopped short
of endorsing the president’s
initiative. “We look for-
ward to reviewing the presi-
dent’s proposal and working
together to do what’s right
for our nation’s fiscal health
and security, now and in the
future,” Pelosi said.
House Minority Leader
John Boehner said in a state-
ment Monday that while
Republicans are pleased the
president was sending the leg-
islation to Congress, “this is
no substitute for a real budget
that reins in overall federal
spending.”
House Budget Committee
Chairman John Spratt, D-S.C.,
office sent a letter supporting
the proposal as an amend-
ment to the annual defense
spending bill. Implementation
of a policy for gays serving
openly would still require the
approval of President Barack
Obama, Defense Secretary
Robert Gates and the chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen.
How long implementation
might take is not known, but
the proposal would have no
effect on current practices.
“The proposed amendment
will allow for completion of
the comprehensive review,
enable the Department of
Defense to assess the results
of the review, and ensure that
the implementation of the
repeal is consistent with stan-
dards of military readiness,
effectiveness, unit cohesion,
recruiting and retention,” bud-
get chief Peter Orszag wrote
in letters to Murphy and Sens.
Joe Lieberman of Connecticut
and Carl Levin of Michigan,
the three Democrats leading
the push for repeal.
Hours later, top Democratic
lawmakers approved the final
version of the brokered deal.
However, the third-ranking
House Republican, Rep. Mike
Pence of Indiana, promised
unified GOP opposition.
“The American people
don’t want the American mil-
itary to be used to advance a
liberal political agenda. And
“It is not where you go in
and have a shower, it is where
friends of the bride and family
come together and you give
gifts to the bride and you tell
stories and you show pictures
of when she was a little girl,”
she told the host. “There will
be a lot of that activity” before
Chelsea Clinton marries long-
time beau Marc Mezvinsky
this summer, she said.
“We are looking forward
to it,” she said of the wedding.
“It is something that every
mother dreams of. And so for
me it’s ... the most important
activity going on in my life
now, I have to confess. Don’t
tell anybody that but it is
such an enjoyable and excit-
ing time for our family.”
Her comments drew
approving coos and applause
from the studio audience.
Appearing on anoth-
er program aired by Hong
Kong’s Phoenix television
today, Clinton and Treasury
Secretary Geithner, the U.S.
co-chairs of the official talks,
sounded like a comedy team
at times as they spoke about
their moviegoing and hair-
care habits, the importance
of child-rearing and nutrition,
and other non-controversial
topics.
“I think I was compliment-

said he would formally intro-
duce the bill later this week.
He welcomed the Obama
proposal “as a step forward
on the path to fiscal responsi-
bility,” adding that Congress
would look at it carefully and
“see what changes we may
want to make.”
The White House move
also comes as Obama’s
Democratic allies in Congress
are trying to pass a tax and
spending bill providing $174
billion for programs such as
unemployment benefits, aid
to state governments, and
help for doctors facing a big
cut in Medicare reimburse-
ments. The Senate is also tak-
ing up an almost $60 billion
war funding bill, and a vote
looms on an administration-
backed plan to add $23 billion
to help school districts avoid
teacher layoffs.
Under the Constitution, the
president has to either sign a
bill — forcing him to take the
bad along with the good — or
veto it, which can be imprac-
tical. That allows Congress
to pad spending legislation
with items a president does
not like.
The White House says
Obama would use the new
power to try to weed out ear-
marks such as water and sewer
grants and road projects not
requested by the administra-
tion.
House Republicans will stand
on that principle,” Pence said.
He urged Democrats to wait
until the Pentagon completes
its review.
Obama called for the repeal
during his State of the Union
address this year, and Gates
and Mullen have echoed his
views while cautioning that
any action must be paced.
Still, gay rights activists have
criticized the administration
for doing little to push for a
repeal during Obama’s first
year in office.
A Gallup poll earlier this
month found 70 percent of
American favor allowing
gays and lesbians to serve
openly.
One organization dedicated
to repealing the law urged sup-
porters to delay celebration.
“President Obama’s support
and Secretary Gates’ buy-in
should ensure a winning vote,
but we are not there yet,” said
Aubrey Sarvis, an Army vet-
eran and the executive direc-
tor of the Servicemembers
Legal Defense Network. “The
votes still need to be worked
and counted.”
The military’s “don’t
ask, don’t tell” policy came
about in 1993 as a compro-
mise between President Bill
Clinton, who wanted to lift
the ban on gays entirely, and
a reluctant Congress and mil-
itary, which said doing so
would threaten order.
ing him on his hair,” Clinton
said of the youthful-looking
Geithner when the host of
that program showed them a
photo of the two speaking at a
Cabinet meeting. “He always
looks so good, you know? It’s
maddening.”
“It takes me so much lon-
ger, and it doesn’t even look
as good,” she said.
Geithner protested when
the host — Chen Luyu, often
referred to as China’s Oprah
— told him she had heard
from many Americans that
he is “one of the best-looking
guys in the (Obama) adminis-
tration.”
“That can’t be true, can’t
be true,” Geithner said, before
a laughing Clinton interject-
ed.
“I have it on very good
authority that that’s true,” she
said.
But today wasn’t all inter-
views.
At China’s National
Performing Arts Center, a
massive, gleaming egg-shaped
dome near Tiananmen Square,
Clinton presided over the first
meeting of a committee that
will help oversee a program,
known as “100,000 Strong,”
to send 100,000 American stu-
dents to study in China over the
next four years.

Harang leads Reds over Pirates 7-5
By JOE KAY
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Aaron
Harang glanced at third-base
coach Mark Berry and saw him
wave his arm emphatically, his
way of telling the pitcher to
keep running.
Keep running? Really?
Harang ran on, scoring all
the way from first base — barely
— in a draining dash that high-
lighted Cincinnati’s winning
rally on Monday night. Harang
singled home the go-ahead
run, then chugged around the
bases to score another during a
5-run fourth inning, leading the
Reds to a 7-5 victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
“It’ll be a while before you
see me try to do that again,”
Harang said.
His teammates were still
smiling over it long after the
game ended.
Left-hander Brian Burres
(2-2) walked the first two bat-
ters in the fourth to start the
pivotal rally, losing his feel for
the strike zone at a bad time.

into a double play that pro-
duced one run and gave Burres
a chance to escape without
much damage. Instead, he fell
behind 3-0 to Harang, a .090
career hitter. He took a pitch,
then lined a down-the-middle
fastball to left for a 3-2 lead.
Harang stood at first on the
muggy, 84-degree night, unpre-
pared for what would happen
next. Orlando Cabrera doubled
to the gap in left-center and
the 6-7, 260-pound Harang
got moving at his top speed,
expecting to make a stop at
third.
Berry waved. Harang
chugged on, barely beating
the high relay throw to catcher
Ryan Doumit. He got his foot
on the plate just as Doumit
tagged his belt — no way was
he going to slide.
“Stumblin,’ bumbling,”
manager Dusty Baker said,
describing the last few feet.
“But those were the two decid-
ing runs, the run he drove in
and the run he scored. That
was the only kind of hit he was
going to score on.”

Magic take Celtics to
OT and on to Game 5
By JIMMY GOLEN
The Associates Press
BOSTON — The Orlando
Magic were ready to go home
— but not for the summer.
Needing a win to
avoid a 4-game sweep in
the Eastern Conference
finals, Dwight Howard
had 32 points and 16
rebounds and Jameer
Nelson made back-to-
back 3-pointers in over-
time to lead Orlando
to a 96-92 victory over
Boston on Monday
night.
No NBA team has
ever come back from a 3-0
deficit to win a playoff series.
With a victory in Game 5 in
Orlando on Wednesday night,
the Magic would be halfway
there.
“We didn’t win this game
just to win a game and say we
were in this series,” Howard
said. “We want to make this
a series and win this series.
We all have to believe that. I
told the guys before the game,
‘Put out all disbelief, anxiety
and fear. We’ve just got to
keep playing.’
“We can’t think about los-
ing or think about being swept.
We have to think about win-
ning and staying together.”

room where the Philadelphia
Flyers celebrated their come-

By DAN GELSTON
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Mike
Richards knows hockey tradi-
tion says don’t hold a playoff
trophy unless it’s the Stanley
Cup.
The Flyers don’t care.
After all, the Flyers already
accomplished so many feats
not usually seen in the post-
season. They rallied from a
3-0 series deficit to win, they
kept on rolling when they
switched goalies and they did
it all with top players injured.
So when nearly 20,000
giddy fans dressed in pump-
kin-orange giveaway T-shirts
chanted “Let’s Go Flyers!”
throughout the arena, Richards
put his hands all over the
Prince of Wales trophy and
skated away — and into the
Stanley Cup finals.
Richards had a highlight-
reel goal early, Arron Asham
and Jeff Carter scored 84 sec-
onds apart in Game 5 of the
Eastern Conference finals and
the Flyers beat the Montreal
Canadiens 4-2 on Monday
night.
The Philadelphia Flyers
have rekindled some of their
old “Broad Street Bullies”
championship days and are
back in the Stanley Cup finals
for the first time in 13 years.
Richards held the trophy
awarded to the conference
champs.
“It was actually a little
bit of a debate on the ice,”
he said. “I thought a little
about it last night and my first
relay throw was high, giving
Harang a chance to sneak his
foot in safely.
Harang (3-5) had enough
energy left to hang on for the
win. He allowed four runs in 6
1/3 innings, including Ronny
Cedeno’s 2-run homer. He left
after 114 pitches after giving
up a 2-run double by Delwyn
Young in the seventh, when
Pittsburgh cut it to 7-5.
Left-hander Arthur Rhodes
pitched the eighth, extending
his scoreless-innings streak
to 16 1/3 innings. Francisco
Cordero gave up a double in
the ninth while earning his 15th
save in 18 tries.
Drew Stubbs had a solo
homer among his three hits for
the Reds, who have won three
out of four and seven of their
last 10, keeping them in a back-
and-forth race with St. Louis for
the top spot in the NL Central.
The victory on Monday moved
them into a first-place tie with
the Cardinals at 26-19.
They’ve won all four games
against the Pirates this month,
including a 3-game sweep May
10-12 in Pittsburgh.
NHL’s East semifinals, the
Magic took a strikingly simi-
lar first step toward repeating
the feat.
The Bruins also lost Game
4 in overtime.
“At some point,
somebody is going to
come from 3-0 down
and win a series. The
only thing I knew for
sure was it would start
by winning Game 4,”
Magic coach Stan Van
Gundy said. “I figured
that one out. You have
to win Game 4. ... This
was a must-win.”
Paul Pierce had 32
points and 11 rebounds and
Kevin Garnett had 14 points
and 12 boards for Boston. Ray
Allen hit consecutive 3-point-
ers in overtime but Pierce
missed two tries in the final
minute as the Celtics failed in
their first attempt to advance
to the NBA finals for the sec-
ond time in three years.
“They don’t want to leave.
We’re going to have to throw
them out,” said Celtics for-
ward Glen “Big Baby” Davis.
“It’s just like somebody rent-
ing a house.”
Nelson finished with 23
points and nine assists for the
defending Eastern Conference
champions, who led by 10 in
the second quarter and were
up 85-78 with 2:24 left in reg-
ulation before Boston scored
eight of the next nine points
to force overtime at 86-all.
instinct was to grab it.”
The Flyers, who needed a
shootout win in the last game
of the regular season to clinch
a playoff spot, will play the
Western Conference cham-
pion Chicago Blackhawks in
Game 1 on Saturday.
The Flyers have not won
the Stanley Cup since con-
secutive titles in 1974 and
1975.
“This is one of the most,
maybe the most exciting
season ever since the first
Stanley Cup,” team chairman
and founder Ed Snider said.
“What these guys have done,
what they’ve been through, I
mean it’s incredible.”
Michael Leighton allowed
a goal 59 seconds into the
game to Brian Gionta, then
shut down the Canadiens, who
showed a resilient comeback
spirit in the first two rounds.
Once Carter scored an
empty-netter in the final min-
ute, the crowd exploded in a
championship frenzy.
The finals seem a fitting
result for a Flyers organiza-
tion that still has some of
that ol’ Bullies style in their
bloodlines.
Forget dropping the gloves:
this year’s Flyers have shown
an awesome ability to fight
back on guts alone. Down 3-0
in the conference semifinals
vs. Boston and trailing 3-0 in
Game 7, the Flyers rallied to
win in one of the sport’s all-
time great comebacks.
“We kept going and didn’t
quit. Down 0-3 we didn’t quit
all year that has been our

Neither team scored for
the first 2:18 of the period
before Nelson hit a 3-pointer
and then added another 43
seconds later. Allen made a
3-pointer and, after Howard
dunked and drew a foul —
but missed a free throw —
Allen hit another 3 to make
it 94-92.
Howard followed up
Nelson’s miss with 53 sec-
onds left to make it 96-92,
then Garnett sailed a pass
over Pierce’s head and into
the crowd. Pierce missed a
pair of 3-point attempts in the

“There were a couple of

“There’s no need to panic.

But it’s a lesson: we have to
take care of the small things
and we’ll get to where we

Orlando’s revival came
just in time to avoid a Celtics’
walkover that had fans in the
new Boston Garden chanting
“Beat L.A!” early in the sec-
ond half of Saturday night’s

“It’s been great so far. It’s been
great along the way. The jour-
ney hasn’t ended. Hopefully
we have a Cinderella story in
the end, but we need to pre-
pare for Chicago.”
Carter, Simon Gagne and
Ian Laperriere all pushed
through potential postseason-
ending injuries to return ear-
lier than expected and deliver
a shot at the Stanley Cup to
Philadelphia.
Richards, their gritty
gold medal-winning captain,
scored a goal that will surely
be shown over and over dur-
ing the finals.
Playing short-handed and
just trying to clear the puck
from along the boards, Claude
Giroux fired the puck about
175 feet down the ice and that
sent Richards scrambling.
Montreal goalie Jaroslav
Halak, who ended with 22 saves,
inexplicably skated toward the
top of the circles to try and stop
the puck. Richards dived head
first and slid perfectly between
Halak and Canadiens defen-

puck squirted away from the
crashing Canadiens, Richards
sprang up from his belly and
tapped it into an empty net to
make it 1-1.

“I know they (the Celtics
players) heard it. They had no
choice but to hear it,” Celtics
coach Doc Rivers said. “I
don’t know if they believed it.
We didn’t play well, I know
that. I hope that wasn’t the
reason.”
Only four times in the his-
tory of the North American
major pro sports leagues has
a team come back to win a
playoff series after losing the
first three games. It’s been
done three times in the NHL
— most recently this month
by the Flyers in this build-
ing — and once in baseball,
when the Boston Red Sox
came back to beat the New
York Yankees in the 2004 AL
championship series.
“You never know what

J.J. Redick added. “We can
be like the Red Sox, coming

The Flyers’ run to the Cup
finals has been solidified on
second-period scoring. The
Flyers outscored the opposi-

Down 3-1 in the series

The Canadiens got in as the

ultimate prize, you’re going.
You never use that as an
excuse. The Flyers played a
great series. They got us.”

By TOM WITHERS
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Omar
Vizquel has already borrowed
Luis Aparicio’s No. 11. And
for now, he’s sharing anoth-
er number with his boyhood
idol.
Vizquel moved into a tie
with the Hall-of-Famer for the
second-most career hits by a
shortstop and Mark Teahen
drove in three runs as the
Chicago White Sox snapped
a 5-game losing streak to
Cleveland by beating the hap-
less Indians 7-2 on Monday
night.
Vizquel singled in the fifth
inning off Aaron Laffey for
his 2,764th hit, tying Aparicio,
his Venezuelan countryman
and a man White Sox manager
Ozzie Guillen called “an icon”
in their homeland.
Vizquel singled again in
the ninth but it came after
he had been moved to third
base so he remains tied with
Aparicio.
Vizquel’s hit total as a
shortstop is second only to
New York Yankees star Derek
Jeter, who entered the week
with 2,782.
Teahen hit a 2-run double in
Chicago’s 4-run first inning off
Justin Masterson (0-5), who lost
his 11th straight decision. The
right-hander hasn’t won in 16
starts since Aug. 20.
White Sox starter John
Danks (4-3) allowed two runs
and six hits in five innings to
snap a personal 3-game los-
ing streak. The left-hander
was winless in his previous
four starts and the White Sox
scored just three runs in his
last three outings.
When Vizquel joined the
White Sox, he couldn’t wear
his familiar No. 13 because
it belonged to Guillen, who
wouldn’t give it up. So
Vizquel asked Aparicio if he
could wear No. 11 to honor
the long-time shortstop.
Aparicio gave his blessing
and the White Sox brought
back the number, retired in
1984, for Vizquel to wear this
season.
The 43-year-old Vizquel
received a warm ovation from
Cleveland fans, who adored
the 11-time Gold Glove win-
ner during his 11 seasons
playing for the Indians.
Vizquel was humbled by
equaling Aparicio’s mark.
“It’s unbelievable,” he
said. “Wow, that’s a lot of
hits. I never thought I would
get that amount of hits in the
big leagues. It’s unreal. I look
back on my career and I’m
really proud it has been con-
sistent throughout the years
and it makes me proud because
defensively I know that I can
play but that’s a lot of hits.”
After shutting out the
Indians on opening day
in Chicago, the White Sox
dropped five in a row to the
AL Central’s last-place team.
Alex Rios hit his ninth
homer for the White Sox.
Masterson’s season-long
slide shows no signs of slow-
ing.
The right-hander needed 44
pitches to get out of the first
and by the time he retired
Vizquel on a fly to deep right
for the third out, the Indians
were already in a 4-0 hole.
Chicago scored on Rios’
RBI groundout, Mark
Kotsay’s run-scoring double
and Teahen’s 2-run double to
left-center.
Indians manager Manny
Acta said there are no imme-
diate plans to drop Masterson
from the rotation.
“We’ll see,” Acta added.
“It’s not just going to be a
knee-jerk reaction after a game
before we talk it over and talk
to the player. Up to now, he’s
still starting for us.”
Danks, meanwhile, set
down the Indians on 13 pitches
in the first and had four strike-
outs in two innings before
Cleveland threatened with
a leadoff single and double
in the third. The left-hander
worked out of the jam but
couldn’t escape a similar mess
in the fourth.
The Indians, who have lost
7-of-8, closed within 5-2 on
Matt LaPorta’s RBI groundout
and Lou Marson’s run-scoring
single.
Chicago answered with a
run in the seventh when second
baseman Mark Grudzielanek
couldn’t handle Teahen’s hard
single up the middle with a
runner at third.
Notes: Vizquel did pass Dave
Parker for 58th place on the career
hits list. ... Once a team that regu-
larly fielded several All-Stars, the
Indians are virtually being ignored
in fan balloting. Shin-Soo Choo is
the only Cleveland player being
noticed, ranking 14th among out-
fielders. ... Choo got his fifth assist
in the ninth, throwing out Andruw
Jones at the plate.

BASEBALL
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas
Rangers filed for Chapter 11 bank-
ruptcy protection in hopes of spurring
completion of the stalled $575 million
sale of the team — and maybe clear
the decks for the new owners to
make pennant-chasing decisions this
summer.
The bankruptcy filing comes four
months after Tom Hicks announced an
agreement to sell the team to a group
led by Hall-of-Fame pitcher and team
president Nolan Ryan and Pittsburgh
attorney Chuck Greenberg.
GOLF
TADWORTH, England — One
day after the biggest win of his career,
Simon Khan failed to qualify for the
U.S. Open.
Khan, who won the BMW PGA
Championship on the European Tour,
was the odd man out in a 6-man play-
off for the last five spots in a 36-hole
qualifier for the U.S. Open.
Among those who failed to qual-
ify included Ryder Cup captain Colin
Montgomerie.
PLANO, Texas — Bo Van Pelt
was among eight PGA Tour players
who qualified for the British Open, the
major he missed last year while win-
ning his only PGA Tour title.
Tim Petrovic had an 11-under
129 at Gleneagle Country Club to
lead the eight qualifiers at Gleneagles
Country Club. He was one shot ahead
of Van Pelt, who won the U.S. Bank
Championship in Milwaukee last year
when it was held the same week as
the British Open.
The British Open will be played
July 15-18 at St. Andrews.
SPORTS BRIEFS
Among those who failed to qualify
was Rickie Fowler, Stuart Appleby,
Davis Love III and Rory Sabbatini.
Love has played every British Open
since 1987, while Appleby has played
every Open since 1997.
HORSE RACING
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York state
is expected to loan the New York
Racing Association $25 million to pre-
serve thoroughbred racing seasons at
Belmont, Saratoga and Aqueduct.
The NYRA loan is included in a
measure from Gov. David Paterson
to extend basic state operations in the
absence of an approved budget for
this year. It would have to be repaid by
March 31 or within 30 days of a state
pact with a contractor to install video
lottery terminals at Aqueduct.
The NYRA last week notified more
than 1,400 workers the cash-strapped
racing operator might have to close
tracks after the Belmont Stakes.
PRO FOOTBALL
WASHINGTON — The Supreme
Court rejected the National Football
League’s request for broad antitrust
law protection, saying that it must
be considered 32 separate teams
— not one big business — when
selling branded items like jerseys
and caps.
“Although NFL teams have com-
mon interests such as promoting the
NFL brand, they are still separate,
profit-maximizing entities, and their
interests in licensing team trademarks
are not necessarily aligned,” ruled the
retiring Justice John Paul Stevens,
writing for an unanimous court.
The high court reversed a lower
court ruling throwing out an antitrust
suit brought against the league by
one of its former hat makers, who
was upset that it lost its contract for
making official NFL hats to Reebok
International Ltd.
PRO BASKETBALL
CLEVELAND — Less than two
weeks after their stunning, second-
round loss to Boston in the NBA
playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers fired
Mike Brown, an expected move
that perhaps indicates the team
believes it can re-sign LeBron James,
the 2-time MVP and free agent-in-
waiting.
Brown was the most successful
coach in franchise history. In five sea-
sons, he led the Cavs to the playoffs
every year, to the finals in 2007 and to
127 wins in the past two seasons. But
Brown failed to win a championship
and after Cleveland’s second straight
early exodus from the postseason —
a collapse that included two blowout
losses at home and dissension in
the Cavs’ locker room — and with
James about to explore free agency,
owner Dan Gilbert decided to make
a change.
AUTO RACING
INDIANAPOLIS — Paul Tracy had
one of the fastest cars during practice
for the Indianapolis 500 only a few
days ago.
That’s what made his failure to
qualify for the race so difficult to
stomach.
Tracy withdrew a qualifying time
that would have put him into the race
in an attempt to post an even faster
time. His strategy backfired and he
knocked himself out. Jay Howard did
the same on Sunday — opening the
door for rookie Sebastian Saavedra to
back his way into the field.

Britain bans doctor who linked autism to vaccine

By MARIA CHENG
The Associated Press
LONDON — The doctor whose research
linking autism and the vaccine for measles,
mumps and rubella influenced millions of
parents to refuse the shot for their children was
banned Monday from practicing medicine in
his native Britain.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s 1998 study was
discredited — but vaccination rates have never
fully recovered and he continues to enjoy a
vocal following, helped in the U.S. by endorse-
ments from celebrities like Jim Carrey and
Jenny McCarthy
Wakefield was the first researcher to publish
a peer-reviewed study suggesting a connection
between autism and the vaccine for measles,
mumps and rubella. Legions of parents aban-
doned the vaccine, leading to a resurgence
of measles in Western countries where it had
been mostly stamped out. There are outbreaks
across Europe every year and sporadic out-
breaks in the U.S.
“That is Andrew Wakefield’s legacy,” said
Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the
University of Pennsylvania. “The hospitaliza-
tions and deaths of children from measles who
could have easily avoided the disease.”
Wakefield’s discredited theories had a tre-
mendous impact in the U.S., Offit said, adding:
“He gave heft to the notion that vaccines in
general cause autism.”
In Britain, Wakefield’s research led to a
huge decline in the number of children receiv-
ing the MMR vaccine: from 95 percent in
1995 — enough to prevent measles outbreaks
— to 50 percent in parts of London in the early
2000s. Rates have begun to recover, though
not enough to prevent outbreaks. In 2006, a
13-year-old boy became the first person to die
from measles in Britain in 14 years.
“He’s become almost like
a Christ-like figure and
it doesn’t matter that
science has proven him
wrong. He is a hero for
parents who think no one
else is listening to them.”
— Paul Offit,
chief of infectious
diseases, University
of Pennsylvania
“The false suggestion of a link between
autism and the MMR vaccine has done untold
damage to the UK vaccination program,”
said Terence Stephenson, president of the
Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
“Overwhelming scientific evidence shows that
it is safe.”
On Monday, Britain’s General Medical
Council, which licenses and oversees doctors,
found Wakefield guilty of serious professional
misconduct and stripped him of the right to
practice medicine in the U.K. Wakefield said
he plans to appeal the ruling, which takes
effect within 28 days.
The council was acting on a finding in
January that Wakefield and two other doctors
showed a “callous disregard” for the chil-
dren in their study, published in 1998 in the
medical journal Lancet. The medical body said
Wakefield took blood samples from children at
his son’s birthday party, paying them 5 pounds
(about $7.20) each and later joked about the
incident.
The study has since been widely rejected.
From 1998-2004, studies in journals includ-
ing the Lancet, the New England Journal
of Medicine, Pediatrics and BMJ published
papers showing no link between autism and the
measles vaccine.
Wakefield moved to the U.S. in 2004 and
set up an autism research center in Austin,
Texas, where he gained a wide following
despite being unlicensed as a doctor there and
facing skepticism from the medical commu-
nity. He quit earlier this year.
Offit said he doubted Britain’s decision to
strip the 53-year-old Wakefield of his medical
license would convince many parents that vac-
cines are safe.
“He’s become almost like a Christ-like
figure and it doesn’t matter that science has
proven him wrong,” Offit said. “He is a hero
for parents who think no one else is listening
to them.”
Wakefield told The Associated Press
Monday’s decision was a sad day for British
medicine. “None of this alters the fact that vac-
cines can cause autism,” he said.
“These parents are not going away; the chil-
dren are not going to go away and I most cer-
tainly am not going away,” he said on NBC’s
“Today Show.”
Wakefield claimed the U.S. government
has been settling cases of vaccine-induced
autism since 1991.
However, two rulings by a special branch
of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in March
and last year found no link between vaccines
and autism. More than 5,500 claims have been
filed by families seeking compensation for
children they claim were hurt by the vaccine.
Wakefield has won support from parents
suspicious of vaccines, including Hollywood
celebrities.
McCarthy, who has an autistic son, issued
a statement in February with then boyfriend
Carrey asserting Wakefield was “being vilified
through a well-orchestrated smear campaign.”
“It is our most sincere belief that Dr.
Wakefield and parents of children with autism
around the world are being subjected to a
remarkable media campaign engineered by
vaccine manufacturers,” the actors said.
McCarthy, whose best-seller “Louder Than
Words” details her search for treatments for her
son Evan, wrote the foreword for a new book
by Wakefield about autism and vaccines.
In Monday’s ruling, the medical council
said Wakefield abused his position as a doc-
tor and “brought the medical profession into
disrepute.”
At the time of his study, Wakefield was
working as a gastroenterologist at London’s
Royal Free Hospital and did not have
approval for the research. The study sug-
gested autistic children had a bowel disease
and raised the possibility of a link between
autism and vaccines. He had also been paid
to advise lawyers representing parents who
believed their children had been hurt by the
MMR vaccine.
Ten of the study’s authors later renounced
its conclusions and it was retracted by the
Lancet in February.
At least a dozen British medical asso-
ciations, including the Royal College of
Physicians, the Medical Research Council and
the Wellcome Trust have issued statements
verifying the safety of the measles, mumps and
rubella vaccine.
“This verdict is not about (the measles)
vaccine,” said Adam Finn, a professor of
pediatrics at the University of Bristol Medical
School. “We all now know that the vaccine is
remarkably safe and enormously effective...
We badly need to put this right for the sake of
our own children and children worldwide.”

Feds ask Va. health reform lawsuit be dismissed 2 Americans imprisoned in Iran plan to get married
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
— President Barack Obama’s
administration on Monday
asked a federal judge in Virginia
to dismiss the state’s lawsuit
alleging Congress overstepped
its constitutional bounds with
the new health care reform law.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
argued in a motion filed hours
before a midnight deadline that
the law is well within the scope
of the Constitution’s Commerce
Clause.
Virginia’s Republican attor-
ney general, Ken Cuccinelli,
filed suit in U.S. District Court
in Richmond less than eight
hours after Congress enacted
the law. It argues that requiring
people to buy health coverage or
pay a fee exceeds federal pow-
ers limited by the Constitution’s
10th Amendment.
More than a dozen state
attorneys general have sued
over the legislation on broadly
similar grounds in cases that
are likely be determined by the
Supreme Court.
The conservative attorney
general sued in defense of a
Virginia law enacted this win-
ter that exempts state residents
from being required to have
health coverage.
Sebelius argues in her dismiss-
al motion, however, that Virginia
lacks the standing to sue.
“A state cannot ... manufac-
ture its own standing to chal-
lenge a federal law by simple
expedient of passing a statute
purporting to nullify it,” read
the motion. “Otherwise, a state
could import almost any politi-
cal or policy dispute into federal
court by enacting its side of the
argument into state law.”
Sebelius also contends that
the new law, passed solely by the
ruling Democrats in Congress
and signed by a Democratic
president, is constitutional.
“Even if Virginia could sur-
mount this jurisdictional barrier,
its claim still would fail because
Congress, in adopting the mini-
mum coverage provision, acted
well within its authority under
the Commerce Clause,” the
motion says.
The mandate for most
U.S. residents to carry health
insurance starting in 2014
is at the heart of the federal
law’s goal of medical cov-
erage for all. Without it, the
Justice Department explains in
the filing, the new law — and
its efforts to contain costs —
becomes moot.
But the “minimum cover-
age provision,” more than any
other act of Obama and the
Democratic Congress, has
stoked the angriest reactions,
particularly by conservative tea
party groups across the nation.
For the federal government to
tell individuals and families
what they must purchase tram-
ples a basic liberty, they argue.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Shane Bauer
wove an engagement ring out of threads from
his shirt, then met his girlfriend in an unlikely
place for a marriage proposal: the exercise
yard of the Iranian prison where the couple
has been locked up for nearly a year.
The mothers of both young Americans said
Monday that their children will get married
whenever they are released. They were taken
into custody and accused of spying for the
U.S. when they went for a hike last July along
the border between Iraq and Iran.
The engagement “shows they’re continu-
ing to have hope. They’re planning for the
future, which is very good,” Bauer’s mother,
Cindy Hickey of Pine City, Minn., told The
Associated Press, two days after she and
Sarah Shourd’s mother returned to the U.S.
following a short visit to see their children.
They were joined on the journey by the
mother of a third American, Josh Fattal,
Bauer’s college roommate, who is also impris-
oned and will be the couple’s best man.
Hickey said her son fashioned the crude
engagement ring and proposed in January at
Tehran’s Evin Prison.
Bauer and Fattal share a prison cell. Shourd

minister said his country would be open

custody comparable to the decision to permit
the mothers’ visit.
“We’ve heard that before, and the thing
is we have no control over it,” Hickey said
of a potential prisoner exchange. “We can’t
spend a whole lot of time thinking in that
direction.”
The Americans’ case has also been com-
plicated by ongoing tension between the two
nations over Iran’s nuclear program.
Hickey said the greatest hope for the
families is that Iran will release the three on
humanitarian grounds.
The mothers had hoped to visit with Iranian
officials while in Tehran, but were not granted
access. Hickey said they are frustrated that,
even after their own visit, their children have
not yet been allowed to meet with a Tehran
lawyer hired by the families.
Bauer, 27, and Shourd, 31, have been a
couple for more than three years, Hickey said,
and had been discussing marriage before their
capture.

is held separately but is allowed to see the two
men for about an hour each day. On the day
Bauer proposed, he asked Fattal to hang back
from their daily meeting so he could pop the
question, the mothers said.
Prior to their detainment, they had been
living together in Damascus, Syria, where
Bauer was working as a freelance journalist
and Shourd as an English teacher.
