Some crimes spike when heat does

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Those in law enforcement often say criminals are made, not born. Most criminals begin with deviant behavior in childhood and according to Police Chief Kyle Fittro, escalation typically begins with curfew violations. He said it usually starts between the ages of 11-13 and happens more frequently when kids arent in school. We usually see some increases in summer when theyre not in school. According to the city ordinance, if theyre younger than 14, their curfew is 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. and if theyre over 14 but younger than 18, its 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight to 6 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, he said. Parents are not allowed to permit their teenager to be out during curfew other than for the following exceptions: If the respective youth is a high school graduate; Is headed directly home from work immediately after leaving the workplace; Is with a parent or responsible adult; Is out past curfew in a manner directly related to a family emergency; Newspaper delivery; or Attending a school-sponsored, civic or religious event and going directly and imme-

NYC ban on big sodas may face legal test

By SAMANTHA GROSS The Associated Press NEW YORK If New York City bans big sodas, whats next on the list? Large slices of pizza? Double-scoop ice cream cones? Tubs of movie-theater popcorn? The 16-ounce strip steak? The proposed crackdown on super-sized drinks could face a legal challenge from those who oppose the firstin-the-nation rule and fear the city isnt going to stop with beverages. Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to bar restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas, food carts and delis from selling sodas and other sugary drinks in servings larger than 16 ounces, saying it is a way to fight obesity in a city that spends billions of dollars a year on weight-related health problems. Whether thats legal, though, is a matter of dispute and may be tested. Were going to look at all of our options to protect our business, our rights to do business and our rights not to be discriminated against. We wont take anything off the table, said Steve Cahillane, a senior executive with CocaCola. The city Board of Health, appointed by the mayor, is expected to approve the measure after a three-month comment period. It could take effect as early as March, unless the critics who accuse Bloomberg of instituting a nanny state can get the courts or state lawmakers to

diately home afterward. Fittro said the summer spike in curfew violations fits into the normal cycle of criminal behavior. He said domestic violence and certain other crimes are more prevalent in winter while other crimes surge in summer. Its not dramatic but we do see some increases in underage drinking, minor theft, some traffic violations and disagreements or disputes but not even rising to the level of assault, he said. Fittro also said summer brings an increased threat of home invasions because residents go on vacation and warmer weather is conducive to people being out late. Fittro says criminals look for unlocked cars, doors and windows as they lurk in the middle of the night. Those who burglarize homes tend to target specific houses for specific reasons. We have people break into houses pretty frequently but they arent random. Our burglaries arent committed by some guy out running around in a ski mask. Theyre usually someone who has been in your home and knows you have something they want a friend of a son or daughter, for example. They saw the new flatscreen television you just bought or they saw the Facebook post about it or your Facebook post that See CRIME, page 2

step in. Its not just businesses and industry groups that could sue. In theory, any individual affected by the ban could bring a legal challenge. But it wouldnt be enough to simply claim that the ban infringes on personal freedom, said Rick Hills, a New York University law professor specializing in local government law and New York City. While Bloomberg administration officials say they have no plans to move against solid foods, any local government could ban red meat or even all animal products without violating a persons right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Hills argued. The court has never struck down a health mea-

sure that was designed to protect people from unsafe diets or unsafe foods, he said. Whether the ban is on rat poison or on sugar, government is allowed to protect people from themselves, he said. And Hills said that opponents would have to do more than argue that the law affects one source of sugar more than others. Courts, he said, have repeatedly ruled that the government can try to eradicate societal ills one step at a time. Rob Bookman, an attorney who has represented the New York Restaurant Association, predicted opponents will argue that the city Health Department is overstepping its authority and infringing on federal or state power.

China sending first woman in space to test module

By NG HAN GUAN The Associated Press JIUQUAN, China China will send its first woman into space Saturday along with two other astronauts to work on a temporary space station for about a week, in a key step toward becoming the only third nation to set up a permanent base in orbit. Liu Yang, a 34-year-old air force pilot, and two male colleagues will be launched Saturday aboard the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, which will dock with the bus-sized Tiangong 1 space module now orbiting at 343 kilometers (213 miles) above the Earth. Arranging for women astronauts to fly is not only a must for the development of human spaceflight, but also the expectation of the public, space program spokeswoman Wu Ping said. This is a landmark event. Two of the astronauts will live and work inside the module to test its life-support systems while the third will remain in the capsule to deal with any unexpected emergencies. Wu said the mission will last more than 10 days before the astronauts travel back to Earth in the capsule, landing on Western Chinese grasslands with the help of parachutes. The rocket began fueling today at the Jiugquan Satellite Launch Center on the edge of the Gobi desert in northern China, Wu told reporters at the

Wu Ping space program spokeswoman center. The launch is scheduled for 6:37 p.m. (1237 GMT) Saturday, she said. Joining Liu, a major, is veteran astronaut and mission commander Jing Haipeng and newcomer Liu Wang, both air force senior colonels. You could say this mission is a combination of the old and the new and coordination between the male and female, Wu said. Success in docking and in living and working aboard the Tiangong 1 would smooth the way for more ambitious projects, including the creation of a permanent space station and missions to the moon, and add to Chinas international prestige in line with its growing economic prowess. China is hoping to join the United States and Russia as the only countries to have sent independently maintained space stations into orbit. It already is in the exclusive three-nation club

Ohio unemployment rate down 10th month in a row

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios unemployment rate has dropped for the tenth consecutive month, though the national rate increased slightly. The state Department of Job and Family Services said today that seasonally adjusted joblessness in Ohio decreased from 7.4 percent in April to 7.3 percent in May. The states non-farm payrolls swelled by 19,600 compared with Aprils figures. The national unemployment rate increased from 8

to have launched a spacecraft with astronauts on its own. The mission demonstrates Chinas commitment to longterm human spaceflight and marks a test of the technological capabilities requisite for a future permanent space station, said Joan Johnson-Freese, an expert on the Chinese space program at the U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island. Still, that is some years away. The Tiangong 1 is only a prototype, and the plan is to replace it with a permanent and bigger space station due for completion around 2020. The permanent station will weigh about 60 tons, slightly smaller than NASAs Skylab of the 1970s and about onesixth the size of the 16-nation International Space Station. Analysts say Chinas exclusion from the ISS, largely on objections from the United States, was one of the key spurs for it to pursue an independent program 20 years ago, which reaches a high point with Saturdays launch. The three astronauts will perform medicals tests on the effect of weightlessness on the human body, as well as other scientific and engineering tasks on Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, which was put into orbit in September. Wu said the capsule would first dock by remote control, then later separate and dock again manually, to prepare the technology for a permanent space station.

The high temperature Thursday in Delphos was 83 and the low was 48. A year ago today, the high was 69 and the low was 52. The record high for today is 96, set in 1988 and the record low of 44 was set in 1933. WEATHER FORECAST Tri-county Associated Press

fats in restaurant cooking. The ban was not challenged in court, according to the Health Department. And many other cities followed suit. In 2008, New York city health officials passed a regulation requiring many chain restaurants to post calories on menus. A federal judge rejected a challenge from the restaurant industry, which argued that the rule violated the First Amendment right to free speech by forcing restaurants to convey the governments message regarding the importance of calories. Bennett Gershman, a constitutional law professor at Pace University, argued that the ban on big sugary drinks would run afoul of the U.S. Constitutions Commerce Clause. Local governments cant pass laws that do impose burdens on the free flow of commerce between states, he said. If it is too much of a burden, the Supreme Court says that states cant do it. Only Congress can impose burdens on commerce. States cant. Gershman suggested the measure would impose a burden by requiring out-of-state companies to produce different size drink containers and offer different services for customers in New York. But Hills scoffed at that line of reasoning, saying the courts have generally accepted such an argument only in regard to transportation rules that might, for example, prevent some trucks from driving across state lines.

Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college. Lillian Smith, American author (1897-1966)

Fact Check: How Obama, Romney missed mark

By CALVIN WOODWARD and TOM RAUM Associated Press OBAMA: Our businesses have gone back to basics and created over 4 million jobs in the last 27 months. THE FACTS: True as far as it goes, but the claim inflates Obamas record of private-sector job creation by ignoring huge losses early in his presidency. By going back 27 months, Obama starts counting at the low point of employment for the private sector in February 2010 and tracks how far it has come. But counting farther back, since the end of the recession in June 2009, private-sector job gains have been much more modest, 3.1 million. Thats a more meaningful measurement to economists. Overall, the economy has lost 1.37 million jobs 784,000 in the private sector since Obama was inaugurated. ROMNEY: China and the nations of the European Union over the last 3 1/2 years have made real inroads in Latin America and other places in the world with trade agreements and negotiated trade agreements, 44 different trade agreements being negotiated by China and European nations with other nations around the world. Guess how many trade agreements our presidents negotiated? None. None. THE FACTS: To be sure, Obama hasnt opened new trade negotiations, but hes finished several big ones, overcoming opposition from fellow Democrats to do so. Under his watch, the United States has made inroads in Latin America, too. After taking office, he worked to revive a freetrade deal with Colombia that had been negotiated by his Republican predecessor but left to languish without congressional approval, and sought similar progress with South Korean and Panamanian

One of the outstanding features which will attract the nations attention to Ohio and the sister states carved from the territory Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota will be a caravan of ox-drawn covered wagons from Ipswick, Mass., to the landing place at Marietta where the first civil government west of the Ohio River was established. Members of the American Legion Auxiliary will be in charge of the first outing for under-privileged children. Known as the Radio Neighbors Fresh Air Fund, it is the aim of the body to provide weekly outings for under-privileged children and shut-ins in Delphos, Lima, Wapakoneta, Van Wert and Kenton. The site for the first outing will be in Elida Pioneer Grove. Former pupils and teachers of the Rushmore Special School District will be held June 20 at Rushmore. The district is made up of the old Ford Center and Brush College school districts which were later merged to form the Rushmore Special District. Frank Wells of Fort Jennings, is president of the organization and Percis Barnes of Rushmore, is secretary.

Brown fights for women to have fair pay

BY SENATOR SHERROD BROWN Ohioans work hard and I believe their hard work deserves fair pay, regardless of gender. But today in Ohio, women earn just 85 cents to every dollar a man makes. According to the Joint Economic Committee, that earnings gap means over the course of their working lives, women lose more than $400,000. Thats unconscionable. Nearly fifty years ago, Congress passed and President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, making it illegal for employers to pay men and women different Brown wages for the same work. But since then, women have made only minor gains against the salaries earned by men for performing the same work. I believe that equal pay for an equal days work should be an American right. Without congressional action, women will not achieve pay parity with men until 2056. And so, if the pay gap continues, women will never be able to catch up. A lower salary starting at hire doesnt just mean a smaller paycheck it means a smaller pension, a diminished 401K, and smaller Social Security check benefits. The discrimination that begins at hire continues for life. Theres nothing fair about that. Thats why I wont give up fighting for the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would shore up the Equal Pay Act and create stronger incentives for employers to follow the law while helping women fight pay discrimination when it does occur. As a father of daughters and as a husband, I know that this pay gap devalues womens work. And it discourages economic growthbecause women make up more than 46 percent of todays workforce. The pay gap doesnt affect just women, it also affects their families. Addressing the gender pay gap is a crucial step toward getting our economy back on track. With 33 percent of married mothers in Ohio serving as their families primary wage earner, and more than 6.3 million working single mothers heading families across the United States, it is urgent that women earn the pay they deserve. Our economy works better when women can negotiate fairly and when women are paid what theyre worth. Unfortunately, 46 Senators all in the minority voted against bringing Paycheck Fairness Act to the floor for a vote. Ohio women are hard working. Many get up early, stand on their feet all day, then head home and take care of their children and they dont ask for a handout. They dont ask for a bailout. But they do ask for equal pay. They ask that we act now, that we continue the fight for the Paycheck Fairness Act for women everywhere for our mothers, our daughters and our families. Its these women that I will think about as we continue to fight together for equality and for the Paycheck Fairness Act.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama accused Republicans of paying for wars on the nations credit card even though he has used the same plastic for the same purpose, and for many others. Mitt Romney defied logic and statistics in claiming the huge stimulus package did not create private-sector jobs. In dueling speeches from Ohio on Thursday, the presidential contenders at times offered skewed accounts of the nations economic course and the record of recent years. A look at some of their claims and how they compare with the facts: ROMNEY: That stimulus didnt work. That stimulus didnt put more private-sector people to work. THE FACTS: There is no doubt that Obamas $800 billion-plus stimulus, enacted in February 2009, created both public-sector and private-sector jobs, even if not as many as its sponsors had hoped. The director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Douglas Elmendorf, recently estimated that the stimulus saved or created more than 3 million jobs. Princeton University economist Alan Blinder and Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics, estimated that the stimulus, together with the bank bailout started by President George W. Bush and continued by Obama, saved or created more than 10 million jobs. Part of the stimulus was directed toward retaining teachers and other public workers. But the package included plenty of construction and other shovel-ready projects with private workers, not public employees, wielding the shovels. By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

Obama, Romney compete for rural voters

could prove disqualifying for some voters in rural areas. Sabrina Matthews, 36, is a customer service representative from Marion, Va., population 5,968 in the 2010 census, who supports Obama. I feel like he just knows where people like me came from, she said of the president who often talks of humble beginnings. He started out with nothing. To get where hes at, he didnt start out with an advantage. That, Matthews says, stands in contrast to Romney, the multimillionaire founder of a venture capital firm. I do not like him at all. I dont know him personally but the things that he says, says hes for the big companies and hes not for the little people, she said. Hes always had things handed to him. He started out rich. He is still rich. Im a middle-class person. I work really hard for what little I have. Even so, she isnt optimistic about the presidents chances in Virginia, which voted for a Democratic presidential candidate four years ago for the first time since 1964. Its the Bible Belt. Unfortunately, and I hate to say cally changed the countrys political landscape. Its not just his age hes 21 that sets him apart. Theres his source of means: He turned $1 million of his inheritance into the Liberty For All Political Action Committee. And theres this: Hes part of an army of young Ron Paul supporters who have turned their attention to federal, state and local races after their libertarian-leaning heros presidential hopes were dashed once again. In Ramseys view, libertarian politics is humanitarian because it will produce a fiscally healthy United States and citizens who can afford to provide charity to poorer countries where people are starving. He wouldnt have been able to choose this path if not for a series of federal court cases, including the Supreme Courts Citizen United ruling

free-trade pacts. The president held off on submitting the three deals to Congress as his administration tried to negotiate more palatable terms to Democrats. He finally submitted them in 2011 and Congress approved them in the fall. OBAMA: We were told that it was OK to put two wars on the nations credit card; that tax cuts would create enough growth to pay for themselves. ... The failure to pay for the tax cuts and the wars took us from record surpluses under President Bill Clinton to record deficits. And it left us unprepared to deal with the retirement of an aging population thats placing a greater strain on programs like Medicare and Social Security. THE FACTS: The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, begun by Bush, helped push the nations fiscal picture into deficit. The Bush tax cuts lowered revenues, contributing to early deficits as well, and those revenues stayed below the rate of economic growth in subsequent years. Meanwhile, the wars kept taking their toll on spending, ultimately driving the deficit to a historic high of $1.4 trillion in the 2009 budget year. That deficit also was driven by the recession, which was already well under way. After Obama took office, he also paid for the wars by borrowing. Whats more, the recession has increased deficit spending on programs that automatically ramp up during an economic downturn, such as food stamps and Medicaid. Borrowing also was required for the stimulus package. As he winds down the wars, Obama is not exactly cutting up the credit card. In his State of the Union speech, he proposed using half of the money that would have gone to pay for the wars on a massive infrastructure plan. this we should all be above this but there are prejudiced people here with him being black, she said. I see the state going for Romney. To be sure, it isnt as though voters in rural areas are clamoring for Romney. Between the two, neither one of them is a conservative Southern Baptist like we are around here, said Kathy Smith, 58, a home caregiver from LaFollette, Tenn. She plans to vote for Romney. I do have some qualms about Mormonism, but Im concentrating on what Romney can do for our economy, she said. I dont really trust big business people. But maybe in this economy, it might be what we need. Both sides have steadily courted rural voters, and the attention to them is certain to ramp up between now and the fall. In western Iowa, Romney sat down with farmers last week to hear about their livelihoods and concerns about Washington. He listened to their complaints about the Endangered Species Act and the Environmental Protection Agency, politely nodding in a diner across from the town square. in 2010, that stripped away the old restrictions on campaign spending. Those changes have green-lighted wealthy individuals and corporations to open their wallets freely this election, but theyve also given the OK for grassroots groups like Ramseys to raise unlimited sums of cash. As an economics and finance major, Ramsey is passionate in his belief that an overreaching government hinders rather than helps. He said his own philosophy mirrors that of Frederic Bastiat, a 19th century French legislator who decried governments intrusion on individual liberties, and that of Paul, the Texas congressman who gained a passionate following by espousing similar principles. Its that belief that drove Ramsey to found his group, which the liberal-leaning magazine Mother Jones dubbed the Brat PAC.

Moderately confused

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa Mitt Romney tells voters in small towns that he planted alfalfa on his uncles farm as a teenager. And Barack Obama doesnt hesitate to remind people in such far-flung places that his mother grew up in Kansas. So go the nostalgic pitches as each of the presidential candidates tries to connect with rural voters and convince them that only he can jumpstart a struggling economy. Rural voters tend to be more socially conservative, more religious and more focused on what strategists call the core values of a candidate than voters who live in urban or suburban regions. They also tend to be overrepresented in the military; the White House says rural America represents 17 percent of the countrys population but accounts for 44 percent of those in uniform. Like everywhere else, the economy is dominating concerns in rural America. It remains an open question whether Romneys Mormon faith or Obamas race hes the first president who is black By ROGER ALFORD Associated Press

etal pain of the spine in pets. This nutraceutical inhibits white blood cells (neutrophils) from releasing their destructive enzymes where they are not needed, thus reducing pain. Patients with severe or repeat episodes of spinal pain should be on this supplement indefinitely. I frequently prescribe SAMe/silybin (brand name Denamarin) for my patients with compromised liver function. Think of the liver as the bodys filtration plant with important roles in producing hormones, enzymes, proteins, clotting factors, and more. The liver also detoxifies the blood and helps metabolize food products. If your pet has been diagnosed with a liver condition, ask your veterinarian if Denamarin would be beneficial. L-lysine is an essential amino acid that competes with feline herpes virus. Persistent or recurrent eye and upper airway problems are common in cats infected with this virus. With indefinite daily use, l-lysine nutraceuticals (available as powders, flavored foams and treats), will assume the role of the herpes virus in the body so illness is less likely or less severe for infected cats. The number of nutraceuticals for pets is endless. I strongly urge seeking your veterinarians recommendations for the use of nutraceuticals. And, always inform your veterinarian if you are giving your pet any dietary, homeopathic, or herbal supplements. By working together with your veterinarian, you can be assured that you are always doing what is best for your pet.

Heat survive Thunder rally for 100-96 win

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY LeBron James had received plenty of help from Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and now he had to finish it on his own. With what Wade called the loudest crowd hed ever heard booing, certain James had just fouled Kevin Durant, the leagues MVP walked to the free-throw line with 7.1 seconds left and the Miami Heats huge lead down to two points. The guy who has endured too many fourth-quarter failures wasnt letting another NBA Finals game get away. James made both free throws, completing a 12-for12 performance at the line and a 32-point night, and the Heat held on for a 100-96 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night that evened the series at one game apiece. Wade rebounded from a poor opener to add 24 points and Bosh had 16 points and 15 rebounds in his return to the starting lineup for the Heat, who needed a big night from their Big Three to snap a 4-game finals losing streak with their first victory since Game 3 against Dallas last year. Now they go home to host Game 3 on Sunday and the next two after that, knowing they dont have to hear the noisy Thunder fans again not to mention all their critics if they win all three. Miami blew a 13-point lead in Game 1 and seemed headed toward a repeat of the second game of the finals last year, when it blew a 15-point edge on its home floor. Not this time. Durant scored 32 points for the Thunder but missed a short jumper with 9.9 seconds left after appearing to be bumped by James. The basket would have tied a game the Thunder trailed the entire way. Oklahoma Citys explosive point guard Russell Westbrook finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists but shot 10-of-26 from the field. James Harden tried to keep the Thunder in it early and finished with 21 points but this time the Thunder couldnt come back from a double-digit deficit after spotting Miami a 17-point advantage during their worst first half of the season. It was the first home loss in 10 postseason games for the Thunder, who have trailed by double digits in their last three games. James had what was his career high, 30 points, in the opener, but afterward said Wade needed to be Wade All-Star, Olympic gold medalist and finals MVP. In Game 1, Wade was 7-of19. He wasnt sharp in the last round and continues to

17-point performance in Game 1 by going 5-of-7 from 3-point range, providing all the help the superstar trio needed. James had his fifth straight 30-point game, breaking Wades franchise playoff record, and added eight rebounds. He defended Durant early and helped put the leagues scoring champion in foul trouble, just one of the problems the Thunder had early. Another loud, blue and white crowd tried to inspire them to rally but Durant and company never got close until the final minutes. Durant nailed a 3-pointer and drove into the lane to throw down a dunk over Battier that cut it to 82-74 with 8:22 remaining. His 3-pointer from the wing trimmed it to 90-86 and the Thunder got it all the way to 94-91 when Westbrook dunked Durants miss with 1:48 to go. James answered by banking in a jumper for his first basket of the final period as the Big Three combined for all but one of Miamis seven field goals in the fourth quarter. The Thunder missed 11 of their first 12 shots and when James capped a run of 13 straight Miami points with a basket, it was 18-2 with 4:51 remaining in the period. The Heat kept it up, pushing it to 25-8 on Wades jumper with 2:39 left.

The lead for Thompson, the buzz for Tiger

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO The U.S. Open featured two marquee groups but only one marquee player. Take Tiger Woods out of the equation and the top five players in the world were no match for unforgiving Olympic Club. Then again, not many were. The lead belonged to Michael Thompson, a 27-yearold in his first U.S. Open as a pro. He made seven birdies thats seven more than Luke Donald for a 4-under 66 that gave him a 3-shot lead over Woods and the four other lucky souls to manage to break par Thursday. The buzz came from Woods. Even as Thompson strung together four birdies on the back nine, Woods put on a clinic on the other side of the course on how to handle the toughest test in golf. Woods was never out of position. None of his tee shots found the deep, nasty rough lining the fairways. There was hardly any stress in the most demanding of majors. With consecutive birdies late in his round, including a 35-foot putt that banged into the back of the cup, Woods opened with a 1-under 69 to raise hopes that he can finally end that 4-year drought in the majors. I felt like I had control of my game all day, Woods said. Just stuck to my game plan and executed my game plan. For so many others, the game plan was simply to survive. Thirteen players shot in the 80s; the average score was 74.9 The best tribute to the toughness of Olympic was the top five players in the world. They combined to go 26-over par, which includes Woods at 69. Perhaps it was Ryo Ishikawa who best summed up the day after a hard-earned 71: Im very tired right now. Woods stood out on a day when the games best struggled mightily. He was in the marquee group in the morning with 4-time major champion Phil Mickelson and Masters champion Bubba Watson. Mickelson never found his opening tee that he hooked into the trees and shot 76. Watson could only say that Olympic beat me up on his way to a 78. In the afternoon, the USGA put together Nos. 1-2-3 based on their world ranking and it was a rank performance. Donald failed to make a birdie in his round of 79. Rory McIlroy, the defending champion, bogeyed three of his last four holes for a 77 and then declined interview requests. Lee Westwood was 4 over through six holes and made an impressive rally for a 73. The shocking numbers: The top three in the world ranking combined for three birdies. Only six players managed to break par in the opening round, which would have come as a surprise to none of the players. After opening with a birdie, Joe Ogilvie turned to his caddie and said, Seventy-one more pars and were hoisting the trophy. He shot 73. Woods and David Toms opened with 69 in the morning, with overcast conditions from a marine layer off the Pacific Ocean. Graeme McDowell, who won the U.S. Open two years ago down the coast at Pebble Beach, Justin Rose and Nick Watney each had 69 in the afternoon. Watney would not be in that group except for the rarest shot in golf with a 5-iron from 190 yards, the ball well below his feet on the canted fairway, he made an albatross 2 on the par-5 17th that saved his day. Toms relied on a superb short game and an even better attitude. You really just have to concentrate, give it your all on every shot and never give in to the golf course, because it will punish you if your attitude is not good, if your concentration is not good, Toms added. The group at 70 included Jim Furyk, Matt Kuchar and 17-year-old Beau Hossler, already playing in his second U.S. Open. Thompsons game seems to work on this quirky, treelined course built on the side of a giant dune that separates the Pacific Ocean from Lake Merced. He was runner-up in the 2007 U.S. Amateur at Olympic Club and couldnt wait to get back. After a roller coaster of a front nine that featured consecutive bogeys and holing a bunker shot for birdie on the downhill par-3 third hole, Thompson hit his stride on the back nine, even if hardly anyone was watching. He made five consecutive 3s three of them birdies and closed his dream round with a 10-foot birdie putt on the short, tough 18th for the lead. Thompson took only 22 putts. On the back side, the putter ... seems like every putt

hear reports that something is physically wrong with him. Wade bounced back in a big way, not quite at the level he was as the 2006 finals MVP, but certainly good enough with the help around him now for the Heat to win another one. He spun into the lane and found Bosh for a dunk that seemed to have the Heat safe at 98-91 inside the final minute but a 3-pointer by Durant cut it to 98-96 with 37 seconds left. After James missed a 3-pointer, the Thunder got the ball into Durant, who appeared to be knocked off balance by James as he missed the baseline shot attempt. Durant said only that he missed the shot, adding he would have to watch the tape to see if he was fouled. Bosh started after coming off the bench in every game since returning late last round from his 9-game absence with a strained lower abdominal muscle. The Big Three joined Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers in the lineup, the first time Miami had gone with that first five all season. It sent the Heat on their way to a terrific start and Battier matched his surprising

The Associated Press INTERLEAGUE ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a leadoff homer and later connected for a 2-run shot and the New York Mets completed a 3-game sweep by beating the Tampa Bay Rays 9-6 on Thursday. Jason Bay also homered and Lucas Duda drove in three runs for the Mets. Johan Santana (4-3) allowed four runs and six hits over 5-plus innings. Frank Francisco struck out Ben Zobrist with the bases loaded on a 3-2 pitch to end it. Nieuwenhuis began the afternoon with a home run off Jeremy Hellickson (4-3). Nieuwenhuis homered again during a 4-run fourth, helping the Mets take an 8-4 lead. Hellickson gave up a career-high eight runs and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. REDS 12, INDIANS 5 CINCINNATI Brandon Phillips hit one of Cincinnatis three homers and drove in four more runs, leading the ailing Reds to their first 3-game sweep of Cleveland since 2008. Joey Votto and Ryan Ludwick also homered for the Reds, who had a seasonhigh 17 hits. Phillips went 8-for-13 with two homers and seven RBIs against his former team. Mike Leake went 4 1/3 innings before having to leave the game, still feeling the effects of a nasty stomach virus that swept through the clubhouse at the start of the series. Jose Arredondo (4-1) pitched out of a threat in the fifth. Josh Tomlin (3-4) took the loss, giving up six runs on 10 hits in four innings of work. TIGERS 5, CUBS 3 CHICAGO Justin Verlander pitched eight solid innings for his first win in a month to lead Detroit over Chicago. Austin Jackson hit a tie-breaking RBI

single in the seventh and a 2-run homer in the ninth for Detroit. Verlander (6-4) yielded five hits, struck out eight and walked none. Jose Valverde allowed a run in the ninth before finishing for his 13th save in 16 chances. Travis Wood (0-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Cubs. ATHLETICS 8, ROCKIES 2 DENVER Jarrod Parker allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings and Brandon Moss drove in three runs, helping Oakland to its first road sweep since the end of the 2010 season. Parker (3-3) allowed just three singles before being lifted for a reliever after throwing an efficient 89 pitches. He struck out six and walked just one. Moss hit his fifth homer in eight games, a solo shot to right-center in the ninth. He also had a 2-run double in the third. Alex White (2-5) surrendered four runs two earned in four innings for Colorado. ORIOLES 12, PIRATES 6 BALTIMORE Steve Pearce homered and drove in a career-high five runs, Matt Wieters had four hits and five RBIs and Baltimore cruised past Pittsburgh for a 3-game sweep. Mark Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a homer for the Orioles, who built a 10-0 lead en route to their fifth straight victory. Much of the damage came against former Oriole Erik Bedard (4-7), who yielded seven runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. Baltimore starter Tommy Hunter (3-3) retired his first 12 batters but ended up allowing five runs and seven hits in six innings.

went in the hole, Thompson said. Got a little nervous there once all those cameras showed up. Its always a little bit of an adjustment. In that sense, I kind of wish I was Phil or Tiger, because you get the cameras from the beginning. Woods missed only four fairways three of them that ran off the severe slopes and into the first cut, the other into a bunker on the 256-yard seventh hole, which is where he was aiming. The marine layer in the morning allowed for cool, overcast conditions that eventually gave way to sunshine. That didnt help. Steve Marino opened with an 84. Zach Johnson didnt feel as though he played all that badly until he signed for a 77. Padraig Harrington thought the course was fair and allowed for good scores. But he had two 4-putts and a 3-putt that ruined a reasonable day and gave him a 74. Mickelson was looking forward to playing with Woods the last time they were together, Lefty closed with a 64 and buried him at Pebble Beach in February but he could not have envisioned a worse start. The hook was bad enough. But as Mickelson approached the gallery and looked for a crowd surrounding his ball, his eyes widened when a marshal told him, No one heard it come down. Five minutes later, he was on his way back to the tee. Mickelson made an unlikely bogey on the hole, added two more bogeys and was fighting the rest of the day. A 3-putt late in the round cost him dearly and now Mickelson, 10 shots behind, can only hope hes around for the weekend.

Hudsons seven solid innings in Arizonas victory over AL West-leading Texas. The Diamondbacks took the lead for good after Kubels 2-run homer in the second off Scott Feldman (0-6). Parras 3-run shot off reliever Tanner Scheppers capped a 5-run sixth. Miguel Montero added a 2-run homer in the ninth. Hudson (3-1) struck out a season-high seven without a walk. ROYALS 4, BREWERS 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Brayan Pena drove in the tying run in the ninth inning and Jarrod Dyson scored the winning run on a misguided cutoff throw across the infield, giving Kansas City a victory over Milwaukee. The wild ninth inning began when Mitch Maier reached first base while striking out on a wild pitch against Brewers closer John Axford (1-3). Eric Hosmer hit a 2-run homer and Tim Collins (4-0) worked the ninth for the Royals, who had outfielder Jeff Francoeur and manager Ned Yost ejected.

PHILLIES 6, TWINS 1 MINNEAPOLIS Joe Blanton pitched his second complete game of the season and Jim Thome homered for the second day in a row to lead Philadelphia over Minnesota.

Jimmy Rollins added three hits for the Phillies. Trevor Plouffe homered for the third consecutive day and fifth time in six games for the Twins.

Cardinals starter Jake Westbrook (5-6) threw only 67 pitches in six innings, allowing five hits. Jason Motte pitched the ninth for his 13th save. White Sox starter Gavin Floyd (4-7) dropped to 1-4 with a 10.38 ERA in his last six starts. PADRES 6, MARINERS 2 SEATTLE Edinson Volquez pitched effectively into the seventh inning and San Diego beat the skidding Mariners for its first series sweep of the season. Volquez (3-6) was in command all night, allowing one run and four hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out six and walked four Converted reliever Erasmo Ramirez (0-1) took the loss in his first start for the Mariners. He threw five innings, allowing eight hits and six runs five earned. NATIONAL LEAGUE ASTROS 6, GIANTS 3 SAN FRANCISCO J.D. Martinez hit his first career grand slam and Houston beat San Francisco to avoid a 3-game sweep one day after Matt Cains perfect game. Matt Downs also homered and Justin Maxwell drove in a run for the Astros.

By Terry Mattingly The ratification of the 18th Amendment banning the manufacture, transportation or sale of alcoholic beverages had obvious implications for Catholic priests and Jewish rabbis, as well as for tavern owners. Thus, legislators wrote an exemption into the bill that defined the Prohibition era allowing the sacramental or medicinal use of alcoholic beverages. The wine on Catholic altars and Jewish Seder tables remained real -- thanks to the Volstead Acts fine print. If the act had failed to exempt wine for sacramental purposes there would have been both a political firestorm and a First Amendment challenge, noted William Galston of the Brookings Institution at a recent religious-liberty conference in Washington, D.C. This is not dusty history, in a year loaded with tense clashes between religious groups and the government. Thus, Galston said its important for politicians and clergy to remember 1919 and to ask, Would that challenge have succeeded? This is not a peripheral issue. The use of sacramental wine lies at the heart of more than one religion. Truth is, the timeline of American history is dotted with similar conflicts. While the First Amendment offers strong protections, politicians and judges have frequently tweaked the boundaries on the religious-liberty map. Several church-state fires are currently burning, including intense debates linked to health care as well as to samesex marriage. Many speakers during the conference, which was sponsored by the American Religious Freedom Program of the

Those evolving wars over religious liberty

Ethics and Public Policy Center, focused on conservative concerns about the impact of new Health and Human Services regulations. The key is that these mandates require the health-insurance plans offered by most religious institutions to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved forms of contraception, including morning-after pills -- even when this violates ancient doctrines. As a former domestic policy adviser for President Bill Clinton, Galston knew that he wasnt preaching to the choir when telling conservatives that todays conflicts are not unprecedented and have been inflamed by the overwrought polemics of contemporary politics. No matter what the headlines say, Galston said he believes Catholic bishops are not conducting a war on women and the Obama administration is not conducting a war on religion. There is, instead, a genuine disagreement over the respective roles of religious obligation and civil law. This disagreement takes place against the backdrop of an enduring fact -- there is no guarantee that the requirements of citizenship and of faith will prove fully compatible in a religiously diverse and non-theocratic society. In addition to the Prohibition Era conflict, its easy to spot similar clashes in American life -- past and present. For example, noted Galston, the U.S. government mercilessly hounded the Mormon Church for decades, and in the early 20th century, anti-Catholic forces made serious attempts to outlaw parochial schools. In 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Native Americans could be denied the right -- required by centuries of tradition -- to use the drug peyote in religious ceremonies.

(Terry Mattingly is the director of the Washington Journalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and leads the GetReligion.org project to study religion and the news.)

Theres more. During his White House years, Galston said he often had to inform delegations of Christian Scientists that federal laws on child abuse and neglect trumped their conscientious beliefs as to the form of medical care that their children should receive. The U.S. Supreme Court has proclaimed that religious groups are not allowed to violate common community conscience on racial issues, even when acting for doctrinal reasons. Thus, Bob Jones University lost its tax-exempt status in 1983 because of what it then proclaimed were Biblebased policies forbidding interracial dating. A key issue today is whether this civil-rights standard will soon be applied to gay rights, noted Galston. Many religious organizations take the position that opposing same-sex adoption cannot be equated with opposing comparable interracial activities, he said. In law, that is mostly correct -- for now. But some states have already moved to settle the issue in favor of same-sex couples and more ... are likely to follow. Can this conflict be resolved? History says there is no easy answer to that question, said Galston. There is no guarantee that public opinion will converge on what justice requires. The conscience of the community has often erred and will continue to do so, he said. There are compelling reasons within modern states to carve out protected spaces for dissenting moral voices. But in the end, the tension between the laws of the state and the demands of faith cannot be fully resolved -- it can only be managed.

mental and physical balance. The Chinese believe that by inserting thin needles at specific points on the body, acupuncture unblocks the flow of vital energy. This, in turn, restores health to the body and mind. Acupuncture is used for a wide variety of complaints. These include chronic pain, headaches, side effects of cancer treatment, addiction and hot flashes. Acupuncture may be used on its own, or it can complement Western medicine. As a Western-trained doctor, I cant assess the traditional Chinese theory behind acupuncture. Thats because I dont know how to measure opposing forces or vital energy. If you cant measure the central concepts of a theory, you cant test how valid the theory is. Western medicine explains acupunctures effects through a different theory. We think acupuncture stimulates chemicals that transmit pain, certain hormones and immune system molecules. However, our theories also are unproved. Even though we dont know how it works, I do believe that acupuncture can be valuable, particularly in treating pain. Thats because studies that meet Western scientific standards have shown this to be true. During your first appointment, your practitioner will ask detailed questions about your health, lifestyle and behaviors. These questions will range far beyond your specific symptoms. This is in keeping with the mind-body nature of traditional Chinese medicine. Be sure to tell your acupuncturist about all of your medical

site with alcohol to disinfect it. He or she then inserts the acupuncture needles at various locations on your body. You should feel no or minimal discomfort as the needles are inserted. Most people either feel relaxed or energized when the needles go in. The needles are metallic, solid and hair-thin. Your acupuncturist should use only sterilized needles that he or she disposes of after one use. After treatment, you may have bleeding, soreness or bruising where the needles were inserted. If you decide to try acupuncture, choose a licensed acupuncturist. But keep in mind that licensure is never a guarantee of good quality. A lot of Western-trained doctors are suspicious of treatments, like acupuncture, that are called alternative or complementary medicine. I think treatments that have persisted in human societies for thousands of years need to be taken seriously. I also think they need to be tested scientifically, according to the principles of Western science. Fortunately, many medical schools (like my own) have mounted serious efforts to study complementary and alternative medicine. I predict that more alternative practices will prove useful in scientific studies, and then become part of standard practice. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Writer unwilling to accept sisters boyfriend she had affair with

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 2012 Most expectations you have for the year ahead are likely to be based upon practical foundations and, as such, will have good chances for success. The key to prosperity, however, is patience. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you have a serious issue that you want to talk over with another, seek out a quiet corner or someplace totally free from outside interference. Privacy can help resolve everything. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Do whatever you can to strengthen a relationship with somebody who has much influence in important circles. Such a contact could be of great importance to you over the next few days. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is a particularly good day to plan your goals and objectives for the week ahead. Having clearly defined targets will give you a much easier row to hoe. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Try your best to keep all matters that directly affect you in proper perspective. When you approach situations philosophically as well as pragmatically, the results will be to your liking. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your chances for turning a profit are likely to be much greater when you engage yourself in joint endeavors rather than going it alone. But you knew that -having a partner is your strength. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Dont cut your mate short today if he or she has some suggestions to offer regarding a critical matter of mutual interest. His or her comments could be right on the money. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- This is a perfect day for you to attempt certain tasks or jobs that require deep concentration and a lot of perseverance. Youll hold much personal pride in being able to complete them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your organizational and managerial skills will be seeking expression. Whatever it is that you take charge of, youll do so in a manner that will garner support instead of resentment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be both hopeful and expectant regarding the outcome of events. A good mood will be the key factor in helping you say all the right things to all the right people. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be more of a listener than a talker. This will encourage others to say what is on their minds, and you may learn some valuable information. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Situations that could affect your material well-being are likely to make some kind of significant adjustment that youre going to like. Be watchful and ready to capitalize on what occurs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Your probabilities for success look good, provided endeavors in which youre engaged are traditional and pragmatic. Avoid situations that call for taking a chance or require experimentation.

Sandusky accuser: I screamed in vain from basement

By MARK SCOLFORO and GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press BELLEFONTE, Pa. The prosecutions case in Jerry Sanduskys sex abuse trial neared its conclusion on Thursday after just four days of testimony, with three more accusers taking the witness stand, including a young man who said the former Penn State assistant football coach raped him as a teen guest in Sanduskys home. The eighth accuser to testify told jurors the abuse began with fondling and forced oral sex and led to several instances of rape in the basement of Sanduskys Centre County home, where he spent more than 100 nights and where his muffled screams went unanswered by Sanduskys wife, Dottie, who was upstairs. He said he figured the basement must be soundproof. He got real aggressive and just forced me into it, said the young man, now 18 and a recent high school graduate. And I just went with it there was no fighting against it. He said under cross-examination by Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola that the attacks sometimes left him bleeding but that he never sought medical attention. I just dealt with it, he said. Another accuser told jurors Sandusky called himself the tickle monster before embracing him in a shower. Also testifying was Anthony Sassano, an investigator with the attorney generals office, who disclosed that the office learned of a key witness, Mike McQueary, after an anonymous letter was sent to Centre County prosecutors. Judge John Cleland told jurors there would be no court today and to return Monday. The 18-year-old, described as Victim 9 in court records, became known to investigators after Sandusky was first arrested in November and his mother summoned police to their home. He said he didnt want to talk to them at first. Who would believe kids? he said. A few weeks later Sandusky was charged with two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and other offenses in his case, among the most serious set of the 52 charges Sandusky has denied and is fighting. A third accuser, known as Victim 3, was an Army National Guard soldier who testified Thursday that despite being fondled by Sandusky he had viewed him as a father figure and was crushed when he was sent to a group home and Sandusky never contacted him again. I would pray he would call me and maybe find a way to get me out of there, he said, but it never happened. He testified that he felt uncomfortable when Sandusky touched his genitals in bed and he would roll over to prevent anything else from happening but that he didnt tell Sandusky not to get into bed with him. He made me feel like I was a part of something, like a family, the man said. He gave me things that I hadnt had before. He said that he loved Sandusky and that Sandusky treated him like he was part of an extended family that made him feel unconditionally loved. Sanduskys arrest brought disgrace to Penn State and led to the ouster of both the schools president and its Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno. Sanduskys attorney questioned accusers on Thursday about connections they had with other accusers. The defense has claimed that the accusers have financial motives, although several have said that police contacted them and that they expressed their reluctance to get involved. Earlier Thursday, an accuser called Victim 6 testified that Sandusky described himself as a tickle monster and embraced the then-11year-old boy in a Penn State shower in 1998, an encounter that prompted an investigation but ended without any charges filed. Now 25, he told jurors Sandusky embraced him in a locker room shower, lathered up his back and shoulders then lifted him chest-tochest to a shower head to rinse out his hair. The man said the shared shower happened after a brief workout at a campus gym, even though he hadnt broken a sweat. His mother went to authorities when she saw her son come home with wet hair, although the inquiry spawned by her report didnt lead to any charges. The witness, who described himself as a big football fan, testified that Sandusky showed him Penn State football facilities and let him try on players equipment. One of the investigators who interviewed the boy and Sandusky at the time, Ronald

3 Chinese officials suspended over forced abortion

By GILLIAN WONG Associated Press BEIJING China suspended three officials and apologized to a woman who was forced to undergo an abortion seven months into her pregnancy in a case that sparked an uproar after graphic photos of the mother and her dead baby were circulated online. The moves appeared to be aimed at allaying public anger over a case that has triggered renewed criticism of Chinas widely hated one-child limit. Designed to control the countrys exploding population, the policy has led to often violently imposed forced abortions and sterilizations as local authorities try to meet birth quotas set by Beijing. Feng Jianmei, 23, was beaten by officials and forced to abort the baby at seven months on June 2 because her family could not afford a 40,000 yuan ($6,300) fine for having a second child, Chinese media reported this week. Photos of Feng lying on a hospital bed with the bloodBy JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press covered baby, reportedly stillborn after a chemical injection killed it, were posted online and went viral, prompting a public outpouring of sympathy and outrage. A commentary posted on the official website China.org. cn said the forced abortion is societys shame. Another said the case exposed the lack of humanity in some administrative officials. The government of Ankang city, where Feng lives in northwest Chinas Shaanxi province, said a deputy mayor visited Feng and her husband in the hospital, apologized to them and said officials would be suspended amid an investigation. Today, I am here on behalf of the municipal government to see you and express our sincere apology to you. I hope to get your understanding, Deputy Mayor Du Shouping said, according to a statement on the city governments website today. Feng and her husband could not immediately be reached today. A relative who answered Fengs cellphone said the couple were in talks with city officials. The official Xinhua News Agency said three officials would be relieved of their duties: two top local family planning officials and the head of the township government. But one expert said the officials are unlikely to be seriously punished for a problem that has existed for three decades, and that is usually a result of orders carried out to meet the central governments population quotas. Theyre just pulling a trick to deal with the public. Its just a pretense, said Liang Zhongtang, a demography expert at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. I think this case will end up being ignored and forgotten like similar cases were in the past. Things have always been like this. Nobody will be fired. China legalized abortion in the 1950s, but it didnt become common until the government began enforcing a onechild limit to stem population growth. From fewer than 5 million abortions a year before 1979,

Manhunt ensues for NY surgeon

Schreffler, told the court that he thought charges were warranted but that the district attorney, Ray Gricar, disagreed. Gricar cannot explain his decision; he disappeared in 2005 and was later declared legally dead. On cross-examination, the man testified that in recent years he and Sandusky exchanged text messages, sent notes for holidays and special occasions and last summer met for lunch. He also told the court that Sandusky and his wife had supported a mission trip he took to Mexico. As I started to go over it in my mind I quickly realized, my perception changed thinking about it as an adult as opposed to an 11-year-old, he said. That was inappropriate, what happened to me. Asked whether he was looking for financial benefit from coming forward, the man replied, Zero. Sassano, the state investigator, said authorities obtained lists of children who attended events sponsored by Sanduskys charity, The Second Mile, sending investigators across a wide swath of the State College region to talk to participants. They also poured through Sanduskys biography, Touched, and other documents found in his home and office. They brainstormed about who else could have been in university buildings during off hours, including janitors and others. Eventually, they issued subpoenas to Penn State. Penn State, to be quite frank, was not very quick in getting us our information, he said.

Stanford gets 110 years for role in $7B swindle

HOUSTON Former jetsetting Texas tycoon R. Allen Stanford, whose financial empire once spanned the Americas, was sentenced Thursday to 110 years in prison for bilking investors out of more than $7 billion over 20 years in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history. U.S. District Judge David Hittner handed down the sentence during a court hearing in which two people spoke on behalf of Stanfords investors about how his fraud had affected their lives. Prosecutors had asked that Stanford be sentenced to 230 years in prison, the maximum sentence possible after a jury convicted the one-time billionaire in March on 13 of 14 fraud-related counts. Stanfords convictions on conspiracy, wire and mail fraud charges followed a seven-week trial. Stanfords attorneys had asked for a maximum of 41 months, a sentence he could have completed within about five months because he has been jailed since his arrest in June 2009. During Thursdays sentencing hearing, Stanford gave a rambling statement to the court in which he denied he did anything wrong. Speaking for more than 40 minutes, Stanford said he was a scapegoat and blamed the federal government and a U.S.-appointed receiver who took over his companies for tearing down his business empire and preventing his investors from getting any of their money back. Im not here to ask for sympathy or forgiveness or to throw myself at your mercy, Stanford told Hittner. I did not run a Ponzi scheme. I didnt defraud anybody. Prosecutor William Stellmach chastised Stanford for his lack of remorse for defrauding thousands of people of their life savings. To the bitter end, he was a con man and a coward, Stellmach said during the hearing. Stanford was once considered one of the richest men in the U.S., with an estimated net worth of more than $2 billion. His financial empire stretched from the U.S. to Latin America and the Caribbean. But after his arrest, all of his assets were seized and he had to rely on court-appointed attorneys to

the numbers jumped to 8.7 million in 1981, a year after the one-child policy was launched. It peaked in 1983 at 14.4 million before coming down as China relaxed the policy to allow rural couples a second child if their first was a girl. Xinhua said Feng was not legally entitled to a second child under Chinas one-child limit because she did not have a rural household registration, but added that late-term abortions are prohibited due to the risk of causing physical injury to the mother. The correct way to deal with the case would have been for local officials to allow her to deliver the baby first, and then mete out punishment according to regulations, the agency quoted an anonymous provincial family planning official as saying. Abuses by family planning officials are often a target for popular frustration, especially amid a growing sense among better-off Chinese that the government has no right to dictate how many children people should have.

defend him. Calling Stanford arrogant and remorseless, prosecutors said he used the money from investors who bought certificates of deposit, or CDs, from his bank on the Caribbean island nation of Antigua to fund a string of failed businesses, bribe regulators and pay for a lavish lifestyle that included yachts, a fleet of private jets and sponsorship of cricket tournaments. Defense attorneys portrayed Stanford, 62, as a visionary entrepreneur who made money for investors and conducted legitimate business deals. They accused the prosecutions star witness James M. Davis, the former chief financial officer for Stanfords various companies of being behind the fraud and tried to discredit him by calling him a liar and tax cheat.

CAIRO Judges appointed by Hosni Mubarak dissolved the Islamist-dominated parliament Thursday and ruled his former prime minister eligible for the presidential runoff election this weekend setting the stage for the military and remnants of the old regime to stay in power. The politically charged rulings dealt a heavy blow to the fundamentalist Islamic Brotherhood, with one senior member calling the decisions a full-fledged coup, and the group vowed to rally the public against Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister to serve under Mubarak. The decision by the Supreme Constitutional Court effectively erased the tenuous progress from Egypts troubled transition in the past year, leaving the country with no parliament and concentrating power even more firmly in the hands of the generals who took over from Mubarak. Several hundred people gathered in Cairos Tahrir Square after the rulings to denounce the action and rally against Shafiq, the presidential candidate seen by critics as a symbol of Mubaraks autocratic rule. But with no calls by the Brotherhood or other groups for massive demonstrations, the crowd did not grow. Activists who engineered Egypts uprising have long suspected that the generals would try to cling to power, explaining that after 60 years as the nations single most dominant institution, the military would be reluctant to surrender its authority or leave its economic empire to civilian scrutiny. Shafiqs rival in the Saturday-Sunday runoff, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, said he was unhappy about the rulings but accepted them. It is my duty as the future president of Egypt, God willing, to separate between the states authorities and accept the rulings, the U.S.-trained engineer said in a television interview. Late Thursday, he told a news conference: Millions will go to the ballot boxes on Saturday and Sunday to say no to the tyrants.

JACKSON, Miss. A black man says Edgar Ray Killen, a reputed Ku Klux Klan behind bars for the 1960s deaths of three civil rights workers in Mississippi, gave him power of attorney and land rights when they were both in prison together. But Killens lawyer said the former inmate, James Stern, had no right to the property and Killen denies signing anything over to the man. Stern said at a news conference Thursday that Killen had given him power of attorney while they were in prison and he has taken control of 40 acres of Killens land. Stern said he transferred the land last month to a nonprofit called Racial Reconciliation, which he controls, and would donate one acre to be used as a memorial site to the three civil rights workers. A government clerks office confirmed the land had been transferred. Killen is serving 60 years for manslaughter in the 1964 deaths of Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney, civil rights workers who were registering black voters when they were abducted and killed in what became known as the Mississippi Burning case. Killens lawyer, Robert Ratliff, said Thursday that his client denies signing away his rights to Stern. Ratliff said hell defend Killens property rights because his client is 87 years old and has a traumatic brain injury, and people he meets in prison try to take advantage of him. Stern said in a news release this week that Killen unexpectedly signed over the deed to his 40-acre property. Its a statement he repeated at Thursdays news conference in Jackson. But a copy of the deed provided by Stern shows Stern used power of attorney to transfer the land on May 17 from Killen to the nonprofit. Stern said he hasnt seen Killen since being released from prison last year.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Surgeon Timothy Jorden saved the lives of patients with gunshot wounds, lived in a big home by Lake Erie and owned four vehicles. He was a product of a workingclass neighborhood who became an Army officer before coming home to earn his medical degree. Now the healer is linked to a killing. Police across the country were on the lookout Thursday for the 49-year-old trauma surgeon in connection with the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend in a building at the Buffalo hospital complex where they both worked. Police say the former Army weapons expert may be armed and should be considered dangerous. He was an excellent surgeon. He saved so many lives. For him to take one is unreal, said a stunned June DuPree, a neighbor of Jordens in an exclusive cluster of homes on a lakefront bluff. But she and others also said the affable and accomplished doctor seemed different lately thinner, not quite as friendly and less meticulous about appearances. Friends of the victim, meanwhile, offered glimpses of a much darker side. I saw him at the beginning of the season and noticed how much weight he had lost, DuPree said. He said, Yeah, I lost a little bit. But it was more than a little bit. It was a lot. He wasnt too friendly that time I saw him. He just didnt want to talk. The search for Jorden began Wednesday morning when 33-year-old Jacqueline Wisniewski was found shot to death in a stairwell on the campus of the Erie County Medical Center. Police say she was shot four times. Heather Shipley, a friend of Wisniewski, told WIVB-TV that Wisniewski feared Jorden and that he wouldnt let go after she left him because she believed he was having affairs with other women. She said Wisniewski told her the doctor had put a GPS tracking device in her car and once held her captive in her home for a day and a half, wielding a knife. She told me if anything happened to her, that it was him, Shipley told the station. Jorden had been involved in two domestic incidents in neighboring Cheektowaga in 2003, police Capt. James Speyer said. He said he couldnt release details but that the incidents did not involve Wisniewski. Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda on Thursday called Jorden a person of interest in the administrative assistants death and said a nationwide alert had been issued advising police agencies that he was wanted for questioning. Officers combed through the grounds outside his home and for a second day, an Erie County Sheriffs helicopter circled overhead. At one point, police dogs were seen near a ravine and neighbor Tom Wrzosek told The Associated Press hed reported hearing a single shot around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, which he initially dismissed. Then my girlfriend mentioned if he committed suicide, someone would have heard it, he said. That kind of rang a bell. Derenda said all of Jordens vehicles were accounted for and investigators were certain he had not crossed the nearby border into Canada. Hes out there somewhere, he said. The search comes after a lifetime of achievement for the divorced father of a grown son. Jorden had been profiled in The Buffalo News as a homegrown success story in 1996 and was among those honored with Buffalos Black Achievers in Industry award in 2002. As a surgeon at the citys main trauma hospital, he worked long hours and was always ready to respond to a hospital emergency when his cellphone rang. In his Lakeview neighborhood south of Buffalo, Jorden was described as a friendly neighbor with a busy schedule. Neighbors said he clearly spent a lot of money to keep the grounds of his white, gabled home by the lake manicured and lush.
