One of his sources is a daybook kept by Pvt. Asa Zeller, who Klinger believes came from the Middle Point area. Klingers interest in the 118th comes from having three ancestors in the regiment. His great-great grandfather Daniel P. Klinger and Daniels brother, John, enlisted in Company F. John Grothaus, Klingers greatgreat uncle, also enlisted in Company F. Lincolnview High School will hold graduation ceremonies May 29 in the high school auditorium. Top honors go to Amy Hubbard, Angie Jones and Carol Parker.

Ohio Senate removes state income tax cut from budget

COLUMBUS (AP) State senators on Tuesday pulled whats left of Republican Gov. John Kasichs proposed income tax cut from the state budget in favor of tax relief targeted at small businesses. The move by the GOPled Ohio Senate Finance Committee came as a political blow to Kasich, who pledged to reduce the statewide income tax if elected. The Ohio House had retained 7 percent of the 20 percent permanent income tax cut originally proposed by Kasich. It was among dozens of changes the Senate is making to the House budget bill. Senate President Keith Faber, a Celina Republican, said income tax relief will continue to be debated as budget deliberations progress. Rather than embrace the broader income tax cut, the Senate chose to restore a small business benefit also proposed by Kasich. That proposal would allow individuals to deduct up to $375,000 in net annual business income for income tax purposes. The Senate tax break is worth roughly $1.4 billion, compared with the roughly $1.5 billion price tag for the Houses income tax plan. Asked why the Senates tax cut was better than the Houses plan, Faber said, Because its about creating jobs and growing the states economy. Faber said the state already recently had a 4.2 percent, across-the-board income tax cut, and senators wanted to help the small businesses that were adding to the job market. With rosy state revenue adjustments expected next month, the stage has been set for a potential tax compromise incorporating elements of both plans when the two chambers come together in late June to reconcile their budget differences. As anticipated, Senate budget changes did not include expansion of Medicaid under the federal health insurance overhaul. Senators also left out a tax increase on highvolume oil and gas drillers proposed by Kasich and expansion of the state sales tax to include professional services like lawyers. The bill keeps a provision effectively de-funding Planned Parenthood by putting it at the back of the line for public funds. Faber said the idea of changing Medicaid is not dead but will be taken up in a separate bill. A placeholder measure could come in the next two weeks.

Cooper Farms celebrates 75 years of business

Information submitted OAKWOOD One of Van Wert Countys vital businesses is celebrating a milestone anniversary this year. It was 1938 when Virgil Cooper set out to raise his first flock of just 500 turkeys for the holidays and started what is now Cooper Farms. As they celebrate their 75th anniversary, the Cooper family is humbled by the growth they have seen and thankful to all those who have helped them reach this amazing milestone. I doubt my parents could have ever imagined the company being what it is today, said Gary Cooper, COO. We have learned that through hard work and commitment to your word, opportunities can come your way and you can become more than you ever dreamed. Our small-town turkey farm has now become the 12thlargest turkey producer in the U.S., and is also one of the largest hog producers in Ohio. Though the company has grown, the Cooper family will always remember the core values of a family that have brought them to where they are today, ones which include more than just blood relatives. The contributions everyone has made as individuals and as a team are what have brought Cooper Farms such success. The Cooper family is proud to share that success with both the team members and the communities. Family was always important to mom and dad and it remains important to all of us, said Jim Cooper, CEO. Dad always made sure that his employees were happy and felt like they were a part of the Cooper Hatchery family and we work to do that still today. We try to take the time to show them how much we appreciate what they do through special events, appreciation lunches and our benefits programs. Not only are the team members recognized as vital to the success of Cooper Farms, but so are the communities where they are located. Each year, Cooper Farms and the Cooper Family Foundation provide thousands of dollars of support to local schools, fire departments, boy/girl/cub scouts, 4-H and many other organizations that help the communities and children thrive. My dad was always one who gave back to the community, said Dianne Cooper. When I was a kid in Girl Scouts, if we went on a trip dad would always show up with treats for all the girls and he did the same for the boys. And as a whole, we like to do that today, too; we like to give to the local groups and help our community however we can. Cooper Farms is now run by Virgil and Virginia Coopers children Jim, Dianne and Gary and is still privately owned by the Cooper Family. Several of the third generation family members also work for Cooper Farms in various positions throughout the company, with some of fourth generation recently joining the company. Over the years, Cooper Farms grew and diversified. What started as a simple hatchery has grown to four locations. The Live Animal Division encompasses two locations. In the Oakwood area the turkey and hog breeding farms are located as well as the hatchery which hatches 15 million poults (baby turkeys) a year. In the Fort Recovery area are the nearly 300 family contract farms which grow the turkeys and hogs to market weight and house chickens for table eggs.

STATE/LOCAL

The Food Processing Division has the processing plant in St. Henry and a Cooked Meats Plant in Van Wert, where deli products are made. Virgil Coopers operation grew quickly during World War II, in an attempt to meet the large demand for meat. In 1944, he and his wife, Virginia, acquired one of the hatcheries that had been selling him poults (baby turkeys) for the past six years. Eventually growing out of that small facility in downtown Oakwood, Virgil went on to build a new state-of-the-art hatchery in 1948. He built it in a rural area next to his home, allowing him to know there would be room for growth and expansion over the years. After more than 42 years, Virgil retired in 1980 and handed over dayto-day management of the company, then hatching about 4 million poults a year, to his sons, Jim and Gary, and daughter, Dianne. The new generation has continued to maintain Virgils focus on quality and innovation, raising turkeys in a low-stress environment and growing Cooper Farms into one of the largest family-owned turkey processing companies in the country.

Stage at renovated Wassenberg under construction

Information submitted VAN WERT The performance stage is currently under construction inside the new Wassenberg Art Center, which will be located in the former Van Wert Armory building. The stage is approximately 30 feet across with a quarter-circle design and is located in the northeast corner of the former drill hall that will become the exhibit gallery. The stage will be used primarily for contemporary and independent regional music, presentations and plays, and was designed to be flexible for the varied needs of the community. A tentative opening date is set for later this summer. Located at 214 S. Washington St. (U.S. 127), the armory was built in 1938 by the state of Ohio. The 11,000 square-foot iconic structure was saved from demolition by the Wassenberg Art Center Association and the Van Wert County Foundation. It is just another example of Van Werts commitment towards the revitalization of its architecturally-significant downtown. The funding for the stage is being given by Central Mutual Insurance and was a result of the Wassenberg Art-fitter Campaign that was launched at the beginning of the renovation project. With the goal of partnering with local businesses and residents to help support the project, the Art-fitter campaign seeks full or partial donations toward the purchase of art equipment, sculptures, landscaping and memorial pavers. Names of companies and individuals will be prominently displayed near the item they choose to donate.

Rain makes garden perky

BY LOVINA EICHER We are having a light rain this morning which we are so thankful for. Yesterday we also had some rain and it sure has made my garden perk up. I think we will be having radishes to use soon. Daughter Lovina and her friends were here for the night on Monday. They had lots of fun. Lovina wanted cupcakes instead of cake. We put 9 candles on the cupcakes for her to blow out. We had a thunderstorm in the early morning hours which woke up all the little girls for awhile. Our hearts go out to all the people that lost loved ones or their homes in the recent tornadoes. I cannot imagine how scary it must be to be in the path of a tornado. May God be their guide throughout this trial. Sister Emma and her daughter Elizabeth assisted us with our work yesterday. I dont know what we would do without their help. Neighbor Susan and a few other ladies from church offered to help prepare for church services. It seems I am more behind this time in getting ready. Daughter Elizabeth and Susan will start following instructions in preparation for baptism when church services are here on June 2. Such a joy it brings to us as parents to see our children want to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. When a girl follows instructions, the custom is to wear a black dress and a white cape and apron each church Sunday. Both girls dresses are cut out, but not sewn yet. My goal is to work on that today. I enjoy sewing more than cleaning so my birthday dream to myself is to sew instead of clean today. Forty-two years ago on May 22, I was born to very loving parents, Ben and Elizabeth Coblentz. How I appreciate all they taught me. My 29th birthday was the day before Dads funeral. I was 31 years old when mother died and so Joseph was only 8 weeks old at that time. God had other plans. We will cherish the memories of them always. Jacob, Emma and family are planning to come

Reds beat Indians 8-2 for Redskins, Knights tune 2-game intrastate sweep up for Regional baseball
AP Baseball Writer CINCINNATI (AP) Xavier Paul singled home a pair of runs in the first inning, and the Cincinnati Reds completed a two-game home sweep of the Cleveland Indians with an 8-2 victory on Tuesday night that was free of any up-and-in acrimony. The intrastate rivals headed to Cleveland for two more games. The Indians lead the all-time series 42-41. The Reds have won 14 of their past 17 games overall, leaving them with the second-best record in the majors at 33-19. They trail NL Central-leading St. Louis. Cleveland has dropped five straight matching its season high and seven of eight. Mat Latos (5-0) handled a slumping lineup, allowing one run in 6 1-3 innings. The Indians have been outscored 33-14 during their losing streak. The Reds had 18 hits, one shy of their season high. Pauls two-run single put the Reds ahead 3-0 in the first against Zach McAllister (4-4). The Reds added four in the seventh against Clevelands struggling bullpen, with Derrick Robinson and Zack Cozart contributing RBI singles. There was one lingerBy NICK JOHNSON DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com CONVOY- The Crestview Knight baseball team welcomed the Wapakoneta Redskins to Convoy for a tuneup game on Tuesday night, as both teams prepare for regional games on Thursday. The Redskins downed the Knights 2-0 in a pitching duel, despite neither team throwing its one or two starter. Nick Thomas threw well and threw well enough to win. They out-hit us 6-3 and they executed the bunt well. We had the error at third and their other two hits were misplayed defense that I thought we just had to give a little better effort than that, said Crestview coach Jim Wharton. Crestview started the second frame off with a bang when Isaiah Simerman doubled to lead off the inning and advanced to third on a single by Venice Roberts. Redskin pitcher Brandon Miller got the next two batters out, however, along with a caught stealing to prevent the Knights from scoring. The Redskins finally dented the plate with an RBI groundout by Kaleb Zweibel to give Wapakoneta a 1-run lead in the fifth inning. In the sixth frame Andrew Hines doubled and came around to score on a Brian Schreiber RBI single to push the Redskin lead to 2-0. Miller retired six of seven batters in the last two innings to give Wapak a 2-0 win on the night. Offensively weve got a lot of work to do. There were some opportunities that we had and we made the most of them when we got them, but we still need to get better at bats, said Wapak coach Jason Brant. We play Grandville from over around the

ing issue from Cincinnatis 4-2 win in the series opener: Would the Indians retaliate for Aroldis Chapmans inside pitches? The Reds closer threw two of them up-and-in to Nick Swisher while closing out the game on Monday, resulting in stares. Cincinnatis Brandon Phillips and Shin-Soo Choo were hit on Tuesday, but went to first without complaint or warning from plate umpire Chad Fairchild. The series matching teams from Ohios north and south has taken on an edge for the second straight year. Last year, Indians starter Derek Lowe got hit by a Latos pitch and gestured toward Reds manager Dusty Baker. Baker acknowledged that he had Latos pitch inside because Lowe had hit Joey Votto in a game three years earlier. Choo, who came from Cleveland as part of the offseason trade for Drew

Stubbs, homered in the series opener and had another solid all-around game on Tuesday. He ran down two fly balls on the warning track and opened the Reds first inning with a double. Cozart followed Choos double with a bunt single, and Votto singled home a run. Pauls single made it 3-0, matching the most earned runs that McAllister has allowed in a game this season. Stubbs singled with one out in the fifth only Clevelands second hit and stole second. Michael Bourn singled off Vottos glove at first base, cutting the lead to 3-1. The Reds failed to score despite getting at least two runners aboard in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings before breaking it open by sending nine batters to the plate in the seventh.

Columbus area. They were the number-1 team coming out of the central district and that district has been tough. They have won three of the last few state champships and we know we are going to have a quality opponent a team that has won 22 games this year. Wharton knows a game like this will help the Knights in the tournament: I thought we hit some balls hard; they just happened to be right at their fielders. In games like this which are similar to what we are going to be seeing in tournament, the first team that flinches and allows the first run on the board is at a disadvantage. Hats off to Wapak; that is the reason they played in the state finals last year. The Knight tournament trail continues in the regional semifinals against Lewisburg Tri-County North in Springfield Thursday. The start time has been moved to 2 p.m. due to Tri-County Norths graduation. They are a team that is 20-8 and they have beaten some good quality of teams, Wharton explained of the Crestview opponent. They have a nice pitching staff and theyve got a very strong middle infield. Once you get to this level, teams are always going to be solid. We expect to get a good game from them. That is what happens when you play teams that have made it this far. The Redskins have a 19-5 record going into the regional matchup on Thursday against Grandville. The Knights have a 17-6 record going into Regional game on Thursday against Tri-County North.

BUSINESS Wal-Mart pleads guilty in hazardous waste case Minimum-wage jobs can
Associated Press PAUL ELIAS from Del Norte to Orange between 2003 and 2005. Federal prosecutors said the company didnt train its employees on how to handle and dispose hazardous materials at its stores. The result, prosecutors say, was that waste was tossed into trash bins or poured into sewer systems. The waste also was improperly taken to one of several product return centers throughout the U.S. without proper safety documentation, authorities said. In 2010, the company agreed to pay $27.6 million to settle similar allegations made by California authorities that led to the overhaul of its hazardous waste compliance program nationwide. By improperly handling hazardous waste, pesticides and other materials in violation of federal laws, Wal-Mart put the public and the environment at risk and gained an unfair economic advantage over other companies, said Ignacia S. Moreno, assistant attorney general for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Justice Department. Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company has fixed the problem and is obviously happy that this is the final resolution. She said employees are better trained on how to clean up, transport and dispose of dangerous products such as fertilizer that are spilled in a store or have packages damaged. Workers are armed with scanners that tell them whether a damaged package is considered to contain a hazardous material, she said Moreno said the fines against WallMart will, in part, fund important environmental projects in the communities impacted by the violations and help prevent future harm to the environment. The state investigation began eight years ago when a San Diego County health department employee saw a worker pouring bleach down a drain. In another instance, officials said a Solano County boy was found playing in a mound of fertilizer near a WalMart garden section. The yellow-tinted powder contained ammonium sulfate, a chemical compound that causes irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. .
DEAR BRUCE: My wife and I have been laid off from our jobs. I was laid off recently, but my wife was laid off about a year ago. We are both currently collecting unemployment. Before I got laid off, we purchased a new car. We currently have a mortgage on our house but hope to be paid off by the end of the year. We have five more years to pay on our car, and my wifes unemployment will probably end before that. Our fear is that it will be difficult for us with the current car payment if my wife no longer has an income. She is 57 years old, and she has about $100,000 in a 401(k). She also has about $8,000 in credit card debt. Would it be beneficial for us to take money from her 401(k) to pay off the car loan, our mortgage and her credit card bills? All totaled, the bills would be about $45,000. -T.Z., via email DEAR T.Z.: I dont think that tapping into her 401(k) to pay the bills is a good idea. The first thing I would do is dump the new car. There is a good possibility that you are upside down on it. You mentioned that you have five years to go; you must have financed the car for six years, which is a tragedy. As to the credit card debt, probably the best thing your wife can do is to try to get the balance transferred to a lowerinterest card. I would not even consider paying off the mortgage any more quickly than necessary. There must be something that your wife can find for a job, even if it is minimum wage. The same thing is true for you. I know that might go down hard, but minimum wage can be more than $300 a week, which could make an enormous difference in your overall financial picture. Between the two of you, it could make the difference between living a reasonably decent life and struggling for every nickel. DEAR BRUCE: As a teenager, a good friend and I used to listen to you in the good old days, and I was happy to see that you are back.

Mothers now top earners in 4 in 10 US households

Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) A record number of American women are now the sole or primary breadwinners in their families, a sign of the rising influence of working mothers, a new study finds. Mothers now keep finances afloat in 40 percent of households with children, up from just 11 percent in 1960. While most of these families are headed by single mothers, a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands, according to a study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. As the numbers have shifted, however, public attitudes have remained mixed regarding the impact of working mothers on families. People are not at all sure that its a good thing. Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added attention to child-care policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families. This change is just another milestone in the dramatic transformation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so, said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. Womens roles have changed, marriage rates have declined the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner moms highlights the fact that, not only are more mothers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions mothers are making to their households have grown immensely. The trend is being driven mostly by long-term demographic changes, including higher rates of education and labor force participation dating back to the 1960s womens movement. Today, women are more likely than men to hold bachelors degrees, and they make up nearly half 47 percent of the American workforce. But recent changes in the economy, too, have played a part. Big job losses in manufacturing and construction, fields that used to provide high pay to a mostly male workforce, have lifted the relative earnings of married women, even among those in mid-level positions such as teachers, nurses or administrators.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) WalMart (NYSE:WMT) Stores Inc. will pay $81.6 million after pleading guilty on Tuesday to criminal charges of improperly disposing of fertilizer, pesticides and other hazardous products that were pulled from stores in California and Missouri because of damaged packaging and other problems. The retail giant entered the plea in federal court in San Francisco to misdemeanor counts of violating the Clean Water Act and another environmental law regulating pesticides. The fine also settled Environmental Protection Agency allegations. In Kansas City, Mo., the company pleaded guilty to improperly handling pesticides. The plea agreements ended a nearly decade-old investigation involving more than 20 prosecutors and 32 environmental groups that has cost Wal-Mart a total of $110 million. Court documents show illegal dumping occurred in 16 California counties

Bruce Williams

The jump in working women has been especially prominent among those who are mothers from 37 percent in 1968 to 65 percent in 2011 reflecting in part increases for those who went looking for jobs to lift sagging family income after the recent recession. At the same time, marriage rates have fallen to record lows. Forty percent of births now occur out of wedlock, leading to a rise in single-mother households. Many of these mothers are low-income with low education, and more likely to be black or Hispanic. In all, 13.7 million U.S. households with children under age 18 now include mothers who are the main breadwinners. Of those, 5.1 million, or 37 percent, are married, while 8.6 million, or 63 percent are single. The income gap between the families is large $80,000 in median family income for married couples vs. $23,000 for single mothers. Both groups of breadwinner moms married and unmarried have grown sharply. Among all U.S. households with children, the share of married breadwinner moms has jumped from 4 percent in 1960 to 15 percent in 2011. For single mothers, the share has increased from 7 percent to 25 percent. How does the general public feel about that? While roughly 79 percent of Americans reject the notion that women should return to their traditional roles, only 21 percent of those polled said the trend of more mothers of young children working outside the home is a good thing for society, according to the Pew survey. Roughly 3 in 4 adults said the increasing number of women working for pay has made it harder for parents to raise children. Andrew Cherlin, a professor of sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins University, said that to his surprise public attitudes toward working mothers have changed very little over the years. He predicts the growing numbers will lead to a growing constituency among women in favor of family-friendly work policies such as paid family leave, as well as safety net policies such as food stamps or child care support for single mothers.

Information submitted DELPHOS Donna Landin, U.S. Bank Branch Manager in Delphos has won U.S. Banks Annual Pinnacle Award, the companys highest employee achievement honor. Landin was among the top 1 percent of top performing employees nationwide to win U.S. Banks award for outstanding achievement and superior performance and was recently recognized at a company dinner.

-- paid for. Current rental income: $3,000 a month. Annuities and savings: $100,000. Between Social Security and retirement and rental income, they are able to take care of themselves and pay for a livein caregiver for Mom. Is there anything else we should do to protect what they have as it passes to the surviving parent (particularly Mom, who cannot really make decisions) and then to me? Thanks for all the memories. -- T.T., via email DEAR T.T.: Im glad we shared some time in the old days and are doing so again. Your parents certainly have more than enough assets to last them as long as they live. I think your dad might want to reconsider leaving money to your mother, given that she is unable to look after her affairs. If your dad passed away and everything went to your mother, the overwhelming likelihood is that someone (you) would have to be appointed her guardian, and then you would have to report to the court. Instead, you might wish to have your dad put a good portion of the current assets in a trust for which you would be the trustee, with your dad as an adviser. This would give you a lot more flexibility, and you wouldnt have the legal responsibility of dealing with your mother in the courts, an extra step thats unnecessary. DEAR BRUCE: I would like to know how to find low credit card interest rates that last more than six months. I have excellent credit and know there have to be some decent deals out there somewhere. I have a very low-interest card at the moment, but that is going to change shortly. I need to find a new card to which I can transfer my balance of about $3,000. -- T.P., via email DEAR T.P.: I dont know that youre going to find a credit card with an interest rate that remains continuously low. At the very best, you might find a rate that is reduced for a few months but then bounces back up. With a relatively modest $3,000 balance, your emphasis should be on paying down your balance.

Baking soda controls strong body odor

Baking soda use: I have strong body odor from a hormone imbalance and have struggled with it for years. I have cut out all kinds of foods, including certain vegetables and spices, and saltwater seafood. Ive tried many hygiene products in the shower over the years, to limited success, and I really had to shower twice per day. Recently I put soap on my mesh scrubbie, then added a teaspoon of baking soda and showered as normal. The suds were doubly amazing, but then, a miracle: My body odor vanished almost immediately, and it was gone for the entire day! I dont need to shower twice per day anymore. Many of my friends have tried it and are shocked at how well it works. And it is so cheap! Now when I bathe, in goes 1/4 cup baking soda, too! It also works on stinky feet. The most remarkable change baking soda made is in my confidence. I no longer worry about standing too close to people. I also add baking soda to the wash cycle for underwear and other clothing that holds body oils. They can be difficult to clean without extremely hot water, which is damaging to fine garments. My clothes are so clean and fresh now! I also found the best deodorant is hydrogen peroxide. It kills surface bacteria just as well as baking soda. I fill a small spray bottle and spritz away after my shower. -- Hannah, email Thread a needle: Spray your thumb and forefinger with some hairspray, rub them together, then roll the end of the thread in

Its beginning to look like you will be given greater responsibilities in the year ahead. Do your best to perform up to your capabilities, because you could reap substantial rewards over a protracted period of time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you find yourself in a situation similar to one that you didnt handle well in the past, proceed with caution so that you dont repeat the same mistakes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Its never a good thing to poke your nose into someone elses private business. If you needed to know, you would have been briefed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A close friend is beginning to lose patience with you, because she or he has started to feel taken for granted. Show this person you care. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Although you might lack the ability to see the error of your ways, you could easily find fault with others. This is not a good formula for popularity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When delegating important personal responsibilities, be careful of whom you choose. Someone could make a commitment on your behalf that you wont like. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You and some family members might be on the edgy side. Be careful not to thoughtlessly do anything that could cause tempers to boil over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- If at all possible, try to temporarily shelve distasteful tasks. If youre doing work you dislike, your performance will suffer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Business and pleasure may not mix well, so think twice before pitching a deal at a social gathering. Your chances for making a sale wont be good. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In a last-minute effort to catch up on things left undone, you might start cracking the whip on others. Youre the one who should be facing the lash. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont misread feelings of apprehension. These particular worries come from negative thinking and are not related to reality. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be as prudent as possible when enjoying leisure activities with friends. Youll have a lot more fun if you dont have to open your wallet for every little thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -If you allow yourself to get involved with people whose objectives are not in harmony with yours, its only apt to impede your progress.

Pentagon programs target of China cyber threat

Associated Press WASHINGTON New revelations that China used cyberattacks to access data from nearly 40 Pentagon weapons programs and almost 30 other defense technologies have increased pressure on U.S. leaders to take more strident action against Beijing to stem the persistent breaches. The disclosure, which was included in a Defense Science Board report released earlier this year, but is only now being discussed publicly, comes as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel heads to Southeast Asia, where he will discuss the escalating cyberthreat with counterparts from a number of area nations. While officials have been warning for years about Chinas cyber espionage efforts aimed at U.S. military and high-tech programs, the breadth of the list underscored how routine the attacks have become. And, as the U.S. looks to grow its military presence in the Asia Pacific, it heightens worries that China can use the information to blunt Americas military superiority and keep pace with emerging technologies. It introduces uncertainty on how well the weapons may work, and it means we may have to redo weapons systems, said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. If they know how it works precisely, they will be able to evade it and figure out how to better beat our systems. A chart included in the science boards report laid out what it called a partial list of 37 breached programs, which included the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense weapon a land-based missile defense system that was recently deployed to Guam to help counter the North Korean threat. Other programs include the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, and the hybrid MV-22 Osprey, which can take off and land like a helicopter and fly like an airplane. The report also listed another 29 broader defense technologies that have been compromised, including drone video systems and high-tech avionics. The information was gathered more than two years ago, so some of the data is dated and a few of the breaches such as the F-35 had actually already become public. The details of the breaches were first reported by The Washington Post. According to a defense official, the report is based on more than 50 briefings that members of the boards task force received from senior leaders in the Pentagon, the State Department, the intelligence community, national laboratories and business. The official was not authorized to discuss the report publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity. U.S. officials have been far more open about discussing the China cyberattacks over the past year or two, beginning with a November 2011 report by U.S. intelligence agencies that accused China of systematically stealing American high-tech data for its own national economic gain. The Pentagon, meanwhile, in its latest report on Chinas military power, asserted publicly for the first time that Beijings military was likely behind computerbased attacks targeting federal agencies. In 2012, numerous computer systems around the world, including those owned by the U.S. government, continued to be targeted for intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to the Chinese government and military, said the report, which was released earlier this month. Cybersecurity experts have for some time been urging the government to use sanctions or other punishments against China for the breaches. The benefits to the cyber espionage are high and the costs are low, said Shawn Henry, former cyber director at the FBI and now

Marines mom doesnt Netflix stock sinks on mixed reviews of Arrested know what led to rampage
AP Technology Writer SAN FRANCISCO The hoopla surrounding the return of Arrested Development on Netflixs (NASDAQ:NFLX) Internet video service has quickly dissolved into a letdown on Wall Street. Netflixs stock fell by more than 6 percent Tuesday as investors reacted to critics mixed reviews over the weekend of the first new Arrested Development episodes since Fox canceled the TV series seven years ago. The shares shed $14.55 to close at $214.19, marking the biggest one-day drop in the stock in nearly six months. IDC analyst Greg Ireland characterized Tuesdays sell-off as an overreaction, given that its far too early to know whether Netflixs latest high-profile foray into original programming will turn out to be a hit or a flop for the company. That determination probably wont be made until late July, when Netflix Inc. typically announces the number of subscribers it added during the April-June period. Netflix declined Tuesday to disclose any information about how many and how much subscribers have watched Arrested Development since all 15 new episodes were released at once early Sunday morning. The mass debut made it possible for Netflixs 29.2 million U.S. subscribers to watch as many episodes as they wanted during the holiday weekend as part of their $8-a-month subscription fee. Many people opted to view them all at once rather than space them out over weeks or months. Arrested Development is the third original series to debut on Netflix this year, but it has attracted far more attention than the others because of its built-in fan base and a popular cast, which includes Jason Bateman and Michael Cera. Netflix also raised hopes for Arrested Development by predicting the series could help add as many as 880,000 U.S. subscribers to the online video service during the three months ending in June. That would be 350,000 more subscribers than the service gained during the same stretch last year. Its traditionally a sluggish period for the company because more people are on vacation and doing things outdoors instead of spending a lot of time watching video. The Los Gatos, Calif., company didnt make any of the new Arrested Development episodes available for advance viewing. That made it impossible to know ahead of time whether the series retained the same quirky humor and appeal that won the show critical acclaim, Emmy awards and a devoted fan base during its three-year run on Fox and its subsequent distribution on Internet video services such as Netflix. Once they saw the resurrected Arrested Development, some influential critics panned it as a disappointment. The New York Times was particularly harsh, asserting that Netflix had killed the series. Variety was only slightly kinder in describing the revival as an interesting idea that was more exciting on paper. But many other critics hailed the new episodes for being just as good, if not better, than the shows original incarnation. The comedic payout begins to multiply with each succeeding episode, asserted The Hollywood Reporters Tim Goodman, who recommended watching the new season at least twice to get all the jokes. Other reviewers in daily newspapers scattered across the country also praised the series. As of late Tuesday afternoon, Arrested Development had received a 72 rating on a scale of 100, based on 10 professional reviews analyzed by Metacritic.com. That compared with a rating of 76 for the political drama House of Cards and 46 for the thriller Hemlock Grove, the other Netflixfinanced series released on the service this year. Metacritic considers a rating of 61 to 80 to be signifying generally favorable reviews. The opinions of the critics ultimately wont matter if Netflixs subscribers are enjoying the new episodes of Arrested Development, Janney Montgomery Scott analyst Tony Wible said. The show becomes almost like a marketing vehicle for Netflix as satisfied customers keep their subscriptions and help create a buzz that attracts new subscribers, Wible said. Just a whiff of negative sentiment about Arrested Development was enough to spook Wall Street. Many investors have been betting that the series will accelerate Netflixs subscriber growth and provide further validation of the companys decision to spend about $200 million annually on original programming in an effort to make its Internet video service as compelling as any broadcast or cable TV network. The buildup to Arrested Development helped Netflixs stock recover from a backlash to price increases and proposed service changes announced nearly two years ago. The stock plummeted from nearly $305 in July 2011 to below $53 last August. Even with Tuesdays sharp decline, Netflixs stock has more than doubled in value so far this year. The run-up has left investors paying about $144 for every $1 in Netflixs projected earnings this year compared with $23 for every $1 in anticipated earnings for Google, the Internets most powerful company. Netflixs lofty valuation means the slightest stumble can cause many investors to dump their shares, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said. BY MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas The mother of a Marine killed after a shooting spree that left one dead in Texas said Tuesday that she doesnt know what prompted the attacks, including the stabbing of his wife in North Carolina. Lance Cpl. Esteban J. Smith, a 23-year-old Marine, died Sunday in a gunfight with Texas authorities after a shooting rampage that left one person dead and several hospitalized. Authorities believe Smith fatally stabbed his wife, Rubi Estefania Smith of Bakersfield, Calif., in a Jacksonville, N.C., motel room near Camp Lejeune before the shooting rampage. Esteban Smiths mother, Rosalva Jimenez, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday that she last spoke to her son on Thursday. She said her daughter-in-law had recently traveled from their California hometown to North Carolina to surprise him. She said her last phone conversation with her son was brief because he was at work and that she knew of nothing that would have led to the crimes. He was OK, but he went crazy all of a sudden, she said, speaking in Spanish. She said her son had just married Jimenez in December and that he was preparing to leave the armed forces. He wanted to come back, go to college, become a mechanical engineer, she said. Smith was a veteran of two combat tours in Afghanistan, but Jimenez said she never asked him about what happened there. I didnt want to hear, she said, adding that she hadnt wanted her son to go to war. She also said she didnt know of any problems between her son and his wife. Maybe they argued and he went crazy, she said. Authorities have said the Texas victims were likely randomly targeted but have not said why Smith made the 1,500-mile trip to the town of Eden or where he may have been going. I imagine he was in Texas because maybe he was driv-

president of CrowdStrike Services, a security technology company. There is no cost, there are no sanctions, no diplomatic actions, no financial disincentives, said Henry, adding that the U.S. intellectual property losses are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. He said that the U.S. needs to have a discussion with Chinese leaders about what the red lines are and what the repercussions will be for crossing those red lines. U.S. leaders, including President Barack Obama, however, have instead been using the bully pulpit to increase pressure on the Chinese to confront the problem. Obama is expected to raise the issue with Chinas new leader Xi Jinping during a summit next month in Southern California. Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said Tuesday that the Pentagon maintains full confidence in our weapons platforms, adding that the department has taken a number of steps to strengthen its network defenses and monitor for threats. Defense contractors, meanwhile, declined to say whether their systems had been breached. But recent filings to shareholders indicate these companies see intrusions as a serious risk to their business, particularly when they must rely on third-party suppliers.

Healthy quintuplets born in Salt Lake hospital

Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY A Utah woman gave birth to a healthy set of quintuplets over the weekend with help from a team of eight doctors, one anesthesiologist and dozens of nurses ensuring the mother and the tiny babies survived. Guillermina and Fernando Garcias five babies three girls and two boys weigh between 2 and 3 pounds each and are expected to stay at the University of Utah hospital in Salt Lake City for another six weeks. Doctors predict they will grow up completely healthy. Guillermina Garcia, 34, carried the babies until 31 1/2 weeks seven weeks shorter than most singlebirth pregnancies but about three weeks longer than most quintuplet mothers. The extra time in the womb helped the babies lungs develop more than other quintuplets, said Dr. Elizabeth OBrien, of the newborn intensive care unit. They are all doing remarkably well, OBrien said. It was the first set of quintuplets ever born at the hospital. Fewer than 10 quintuplet sets are born each year in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention counted 37 babies who were born as part of a set of five or more in 2010. We feel like were dreaming, said Fernando Garcia in Spanish at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. Its incredible that we have five. The Utah couple used fertility drugs, which increases the odds of a woman having

ing home to Bakersfield, his mother said. Thats the road he would take. Jimenez said shes sad for the people affected but that her son wasnt a monster. He was a very bright, quiet, calm man. He was the type of person that would not even like when you would raise your voice, she said. A West Texas sheriff wounded by the gunman told The Associated Press the shootings appeared to be indiscriminate. This guy was intent on killing anybody and everybody, said Concho County Sheriff Richard Doane, who was shot near his left ear. None of it makes sense. Doane said he is uncertain whether Smith killed himself or was killed by law enforcement. Smith, who was also from Bakersfield, was stationed with the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune. Base spokesman Master Sgt. Jonathan Cress said investigators have determined the firearms used in the shootings were not issued by the military.

Much of Red Cross fund for Sandy aid still unspent

NEW YORK (AP) Seven months after Superstorm Sandy, the Red Cross still hasnt spent more than a third of the $303 million it raised to assist victims of the storm, a strategy the organization says will help address needs that werent immediately apparent in the disasters wake. Some disaster relief experts say thats smart planning. But others question whether the Red Cross, an organization best known for rushing into disasters to distribute food and get people into shelter, should have acted with more urgency in the weeks after the storm and left longhaul recovery tasks to someone else. The Red Cross has never been a recovery operation. Their responsibility has always been mass care, said Ben Smilowitz, executive director of the Disaster Accountability Project, a nonprofit group that monitors aid groups. Stick with what youre good at. Storm victims could have used more help this past winter, said Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Civil Society at the City University of New York. People were cold. Homes mildewed. There wasnt enough decent housing, she said. Given the lingering despair, its hard to understand the argument that We are setting that money aside. As Americans open their wallets to assist tornado victims in Oklahoma, the Red Cross is again emerging as one of the most important relief organizations on the ground and also one of the most prodigious fundraisers for victims. As of Thursday, it had raised approximately $15 million in donations and pledges for the tornado response, including a $1 million gift from NBA star Kevin Durant and numerous $10 donations, pledged via text. The Red Cross was also the No. 1 recipient of donations after Sandy. The organization said it still had $110 million remaining from its pool of storm donations as of mid-April, which were the most recent figures available. Red Cross officials pledged that all the money in its Sandy fund will eventually be spent on the storm recovery and not diverted to other disasters or used to support general Red Cross operations. Over the next few months, the Red Cross expects to spend as much as $27 million of its remaining Sandy donations on a program providing move-in assistance grants of up to $10,000 to families displaced by the storm. About 2,000 households have been assisted by the program so far, with an additional 4,000

multiple births. They found out early in the pregnancy they were having quintuplets, and Guillermina Garcia had been in the hospital on bed rest since early April. All five babies were born by cesarean section coming out within two minutes. A team of five, including one doctor and two nurses, was waiting for each baby. Their names are Esmeralda, Fatima, Marissa, Fernando and Jordan. I was excited to see them and see that they were OK, that everything turned out normally, she said in Spanish. The largest is baby Fernando, who weighed 3 pounds, 14 ounces. The two baby boys are still using breathing tubes, while the girls are breathing on their own.

waiting for an eligibility determination. Part of the delay in spending, officials said, is to wait to see how the hardest-hit states allocate a $60 billion pot of federal relief dollars and address gaps in the government aid package. We are waiting to see where the greatest need is going to be over time, said Josh Lockwood, CEO of the Red Cross Greater New York Region. We are more concerned with spending our resources wisely rather than quickly. Some disaster relief experts said holding funds in reserve was indeed a smart move. Much of the toughest and most expensive relief work after a natural disaster comes not during the initial months but during the long-term rebuilding phase after the publics attention has waned and new donations have stopped flowing, said Patrick Rooney, associate dean at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. It would be splashier, perhaps, to spend the money right away while the media is still there and the donors are still looking, he said. But the important needs, from the cost perspective and the recipient perspective, take place after the headlines are gone and after the cameras are gone.

Answers to Tuesdays questions: The chemical element bromine got its name from the Greek word bromos, which means stench. Halfback Fred Gehrke added a team logo to the helmets of his Los Angeles Rams teammates in 1948 that started a trend in pro football.

Todays joke: In the middle of a forest, there was a hunter who was suddenly confronted by a huge, mean bear. In his fear, all attempts to shoot the bear were unsuccessful. Finally, he turned and ran as fast as he could. The hunter ran and ran and ran, until he ended up at the edge of a very steep cliff. His hopes were dim. Seeing no way out of his predicament and with the bear closing in rather quickly, the hunter got down on his knees, opened his arms and exclaimed, Dear God! Please give this bear some religion! The skies darkened and there was lightning in the air. Just a few feet short of the hunter, the bear came to abrupt stop and glanced around somewhat confused. Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky and said, Thank you God, for the food Im about to receive
