POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. —
Relentless, driving rain is pounding
southern Missouri, leaving levees ready
to burst and sending residents to higher
ground — and the rain isn’t expected to
stop for days.
Today brought the promise of more
showers and thunderstorms to the
area around Poplar Bluff in southeast
Missouri, one of many river towns in
the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys
threatened by floodwaters.
The already swollen Black River
was rising even further, pouring over
more than three dozen spots along the
levee that protects the southern part
of the town of 17,000 residents in the
Ozark Mountain foothills, surrounded
by the Mark Twain National Forest.
More than 1,000 homes were evacu-
ated as murky flood water crept into
hundreds of yards and even some
houses. If the levee breaks completely,
many homes will be left uninhabitable.
Sandbagging wasn’t an option — the
river, spurred on by 10 inches or more
of rain since last week, simply rose too
quickly.
“By the time we realized what was
happening it was too dangerous to
sandbag,” Butler County Presiding
Commissioner Ed Strenfel said.
Severe storms that began early last
week have hammered a swath of the
nation’s midsection without letup.
Again Monday, powerful storms rav-
aged Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Texas, Tennessee and other states.
Authorities said at least seven peo-
ple were killed in Arkansas — three
of them when floodwaters swept two
vehicles off of roadways and four when
a likely twister tore through the small
town of Vilonia.
The storm system was expected
to move into Illinois and Wisconsin
today, said Greg Carbin, a meteorolo-
gist with the Storm Prediction Center
in Norman, Okla. At the same time, a
second storm system will start along
the same path, meaning several more
days of rain. That system will continue
east through Thursday, he said.
Governors in both Arkansas and
Kentucky declared states of emergen-
cy. In Kentucky, historic flooding is
expected over the next few days, partly
because of a double-whammy — both
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers signifi-
cantly above flood stage. Several dozen
residents were evacuated near the con-
fluence of the rivers at Cairo, Ill.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
was considering the extraordinary step
of intentionally breaching the Birds
Point levee in southeast Missouri, just
downriver of the confluence, in a bid
to reduce the amount of water mov-
ing down the Mississippi. The move
would soak 130,000 acres of farmland,
and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon objected
to the idea. A decision was expected
today.
Missouri was still cleaning up from
tornado damage in the St. Louis area
— 2,700 buildings, including Lambert
Airport, were damaged in the Friday
night twister — when spring flooding
went from bad to far worse Monday.
A dam in St. Francois County was
in jeopardy of bursting, with a few
dozen homes potentially in harm’s
way. Levees were stressed along the
Mississippi River in Pike and Lincoln
counties, north of St. Louis.
But by far the biggest concern was
Poplar Bluff. The Missouri National
Guard sent 200 guardsmen and rescue
equipment to the area. Several people
had to be rescued by boat, including
some who don’t live in the flood plain,
as heavy rain flooded several streets
Monday night.
Police officers spent Monday going
door-to-door in the southwest part of
town, telling residents to get out. Not
everyone did.
Along one road near the levee, chil-
dren played knee-deep in water. Adults
gathered on the porches, seemingly
enjoying nature’s show.
“I’m not worried. This is my favorite
time of the year,” 20-year-old Brandon
Andrews said, pledging to ride out the
flood in his trailer home, even as water
lapped against its sides. He didn’t have
a boat and the water was already too
high to drive through, but Andrews said
he had been to the store and stocked up
on hot dogs, chili and necessities.
Others were being more cautious.
At least 150 took shelter at the town’s
Black River Coliseum, a concert and
meeting venue overlooking the swol-
len river. Hotels in town were full.
Some displaced residents stayed with
relatives.
Police Chief Danny Whiteley was
hoping the water would recede soon
enough that flooding would mostly
be limited to basements. He wasn’t
optimistic.
“I guess you’d call it a perfect storm:
It’s just all come together at once,”
Whiteley said.

“You need to find some-
thing you love doing and in a
field that you’re comfortable
in,” said Cynthia Forwerck,
54, the director of a Charlotte,
N.C., church preschool for the
past 18 years. She said her age
helps when it comes to apply-
ing day-to-day experience with
young children. But Forwerck
still must work at balancing
nearly two decades of first-
hand knowledge with learning
new trends in education.
About two-thirds of poll
respondents said they were
able to stay abreast of develop-
ments in their field and keep
up with technology.
“You have to be somewhat
creative and adaptive over
many years,” Forwerck said.
A small but significant
group of boomers report work-
related struggles that they attri-
bute to their age. Those who
earn less or have fewer sav-
ings were least likely to report
satisfaction at work. About
1 in 4 boomers still working
say they’ll never retire, and
about the same fraction say
they have saved no money for
retirement.
And some are still climb-
ing their own learning curves:
One in 5 boomers have been in
their current field for less than
a decade, the poll found.
The first post-World War
II baby boomers reach 65 this
year. But two-thirds say they’ll
work at least part-time past
retirement age for financial
reasons, either because they’ll
need to or because they’ll want
extra spending money. Another
29 percent said they’ll keep
working just to stay busy.
It’s an important snapshot of
the nature of the nation’s eco-
nomic rebound at a time when
the jobless rate remains persis-
tently high. Workers from the
wave of 77 million people born
during the post-World War
II boom are sweeping toward
retirement age and beyond.
Even as the economy begins to
grow, the swollen workforce
at the older end of the spec-
trum could mean fewer jobs
for younger workers and those
who became unemployed dur-
ing the recession.
A Congressional Budget
Office report released March
22 found that while boomers
are expected to begin leaving
the workforce over the next
decade, they may also be retir-
ing later in life than previous
generations. And that could
“substantially dampen growth
in the labor force” through
2021, the nonpartisan CBO
reported.
It’s not a new trend — in
fact, labor force participation
rates for workers aged 60 to 69
have been rising through the
past decade, CBO said. The
reasons are many: Women,
who tend to live longer than
men, have exhibited greater
attachment to the workforce
than their earlier cohorts. This
group’s overall health is better.
And a shift toward fewer jobs
requiring physical strength
could be a factor, CBO said.
Institutional changes in
pension plans, health insurance
and Social Security also give
older workers more reason to
keep their jobs longer, CBO
said.
The shift in private pen-
sion plans toward defined-
contribution arrangements,
which depend on the total
assets accrued by workers,
gives added reason to keep
working and keep earning.
And employer-provided health
insurance for retired workers is
becoming less common, giv-
ing older workers more reason
to keep their jobs until at least
age 65, when Medicare kicks
in.
Changes in Social Security,
too, provide incentive to work
for more years, the CBO report-
ed. The gradual increase in the
full retirement age from 65 to
66, which applies to the oldest
boomers, and to 67, which will
apply to the youngest, effec-
tively reduces benefits associ-
ated with early retirement and
may give older workers reason
to stay on the job.

US treads warily in Syr-

BY MATTHEW LEE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — the five-week-old uprising
Despite a ruthless crackdown
on pro-reform demonstrators,
there is no international appe-
tite for a warlike approach to
Syria — a crucial Mideast
playmaker with ties to Iran
and a say in any eventual
Arab peace with Israel.
In contrast with the quick
international decision to
launch an air campaign in
nearby Libya, the United
States is responding cautious-
ly to mounting civilian deaths
in Syria, preparing steps such
as slapping financial penalties
on Syrian leaders.
As violence escalated anew
on Monday, the White House
stepped up its condemnation
of President Bashar Assad’s
regime, but stopped well short
of demanding the ouster of a
leader some U.S. Democrats
had considered a potential
reformer and peace broker.
U.S. officials said
Washington has begun draw-
ing up targeted sanctions
against Assad, his family and
inner circle to boost pressure
on them to halt the repression.
Meanwhile, the U.S. also was
conferring with European
countries and with the United

As economy gains strength, Fed weighs what’s next
By JEANNINE AVERSA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Federal Reserve is increas-
ingly confident in the econo-
my and about to end a $600
billion program to support it.
Now for the next step — fig-
uring out how to keep infla-
tion from taking off.
Since late last year, the Fed
has bought government bonds
to keep interest rates low. Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke and
his colleagues are expected to
signal this week that they will
allow the program to expire as
scheduled in June.
The end of the bond-buy-
ing program would mean that,
aside from tax cuts, almost
all the extraordinary measures
the government took to prop
up the economy are over.
Congress is fighting over how
deeply to cut federal spending,
not whether to spend more for
stimulus.
Since the Fed announced
the plan last August, worries
that the economy would fall
back into recession have all
but disappeared. The private
sector is adding jobs, and the
stock market is at its highest
point since the summer of
2008.
But higher oil and food
prices pose a threat. If compa-
nies are forced to raise prices
quickly to make up for esca-
lating costs, that could start
a spiral of inflation. Exactly
“There’s no consensus on
it,” House Financial Services
Committee Chairman Spencer
in an interview this month
about a sweeping overhaul
bill by Rep. Jeb Hensarling,
R-Texas. “I can’t promise we
will build consensus.”
Fannie and Freddie don’t
issue mortgages but buy them
from the original lenders, thus
providing cash for more loans.
They then package many
mortgages into securities that
they resell to investors, using
a government guarantee that
lets them pay a lower yield
than their few competitors.
Bachus calls Hensarling’s
bill “the gold standard” for
Republicans. It would halt
government backing of
Fannie and Freddie and end
or dramatically reduce their
role in mortgage financing
within five years. The goal is
to turn the mortgage market
over to banks and other pri-
vate lenders, who have shied
away during the relentless
real estate bust of the past
few years.
With housing still stag-
gering from foreclosures and
low prices, some Republicans
worry that erasing the fed-
eral role in the mortgage
market could rattle the hous-
ing industry and perhaps the
Thousands of soldiers
backed by tanks poured
Monday into the city where
began, opening fire indiscrim-
inately on civilians before
dawn and killing at least 11
people, witnesses said. Bodies
were scattered in the streets.
Widespread arrests — often
of men along with their fami-
lies — appear to be an attempt
to intimidate protesters and
set an example for the rest of
the country.
The offensive was planned
in detail with electricity, water
and mobile phone services cut
off and knife-wielding secu-
rity agents conducted house-
to-house sweeps.
Late Monday the U.S. State
Department issued a travel
warning, advising Americans
to avoid traveling to Syria.
Those in the country to should
leave as soon as possible,
while commercial transpor-
tation is still available, the
warning stated. Certain non-
essential personnel in the U.S.
Embassy in Damascus have
been ordered to leave, along
with the family of embassy
staff. The Embassy would
remain open for limited ser-
vices, the warning stated.
President Barack Obama
and Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
voiced their concern Monday
during a telephone call over
what the White House called
“the Syrian government’s
how much of a threat inflation
poses to the economy right
now is a matter of disagree-
ment within the central bank.
A vocal minority, includ-
ing the Fed regional chiefs in
Philadelphia and Minneapolis,
believe the Fed may need to
raise interest rates by the end
of this year to fight inflation.
The Fed has kept its bench-
mark interest rate near zero
since December 2008.
And, Richard Fisher, pres-
ident of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas, argues that
the Fed has done its job and
should consider halting the
bond program now, not in
June. “Now we at the Fed
are nearing a tipping point,”
Fisher told reporters earlier
this month, referring to infla-
tion.
The majority — includ-
ing Bernanke, vice chair-
woman Janet Yellen and
William Dudley, president of
the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York — believe interest
rates should stay low longer,
and the bond-buying program
should run its course.
Bernanke has predicted
that the jump in oil and food
prices will cause only a brief,
modest increase in consumer
inflation. Excluding those
prices, which tend to fluctu-
ate sharply, inflation is still
low, he has argued.
Bill Gross, who manages
the world’s largest mutual
fund at Pimco, worries that
entire economy. Without
the government guarantee
of mortgage products that
Fannie and Freddie enjoy,
the cost of mortgages would
likely rise, making homes less
affordable.
“You can’t do that,” Rep.
Gary Miller, R-Calif., a solid
conservative and real estate
developer from just east of
Los Angeles, says of propos-
als to end the federal role
in financing mortgages. “It
would devastate the housing
market.”
Average home prices in
the Los Angeles area have
dropped 33 percent in five
years, three times the nation-
al average, according to the
Federal Housing Finance
Agency.
Feeding lawmakers’ con-
cerns are realtors, mortgage
bankers and home builders,
powerful constituencies and
campaign contributors. The
bankers and builders brought
throngs of members to the
Capitol last month to visit
legislators, and the realtors
are coming in May.
“Every member of
Congress has hundreds of
them in their district, and they
are very active,” Rep. John
Campbell, R-Calif., another
conservative who wants to

unacceptable use of violence
against its own people.”
White House Press
Secretary Jay Carney deplored
the latest developments in
Syria and said that sanctions
against the Assad regime were
a possible response “to make
clear to the Syrian govern-
ment that we believe it needs
to cease and desist from the
violence it’s been perpetrat-
ing against its own citizens.”
“Syria already is under
some significant sanctions by
the United States, but we’re
looking at other means to
increase the pressure on the
regime and the Syrian gov-
ernment in a targeted way,”
Carney said.
He declined to say wheth-
er Assad had lost the support
of his people, saying “it is
up to the people of Syria to
decide who its leader should
be. That’s what we believe.”
Assad appears dug in
and prepared to risk interna-
tional condemnation in order
to squash dissent. He faces
little danger of invasion or
attack from outside his bor-
ders, largely because Syria’s
neighbors and Western pow-
ers fear the consequences of
war or the fall of the Assads
after four decades of iron rule.
And unlike in Libya, there is
little evidence of an orga-
nized rebel military faction
that could take on Assad’s
forces with help from outsid-
ers.
rates on Treasury bonds will
rise when the Fed stops buy-
ing them. If other buyers
don’t step in and there’s less
demand for Treasury bonds,
then the rates, or yields, on
those bonds would rise. That
would drive down prices on
bonds. Rates on mortgages,
corporate debt and other loans
pegged to the Treasury secu-
rities would rise, too. Higher
borrowing costs could slow
spending by people and busi-
nesses, and slow the overall
economy.
Fed officials and others
believe that because the end
of the program has been well
telegraphed, it won’t have
much of an impact on bond
rates. That was the case in
2010 when the Fed ended
a $1.7 trillion stimulus pro-
gram.
The bond-buying program
was the Fed’s second since
the recession, and is known
as “quantitative easing,” or
“QE2” for short. The econ-
omy would have to be in
serious danger of tipping into
another recession for the Fed
to consider embarking on a
third round.
The Fed has other tools
at its disposal. Since early
August, it has taken about $17
billion a month that it earns
in interest from mortgage-
backed securities and used it
to buy bonds, a separate and
smaller step than the $600
billion program.
financing homes, said of real-
tors. “I would not discount
their impact.”
Though Democrats, includ-
ing President Barack Obama,
agree that Fannie and Freddie
should be eased aside to get
private lenders back in the
market, Republicans gener-
ally want to move faster and
further.
For many in the GOP,
Fannie and Freddie epitomize
government waste run amok.
Under President George W.
Bush, the government took
them over in September 2008
as they teetered near collapse
as the housing market crum-
bled. Taxpayers have since
shoveled $154 billion at the
two companies to keep them
alive — which resonates at
a time when efforts to trim
record budget deficits are a
premier national issue.
“The two largest, most
influence-exerting, regu-
lation-avoiding, bailed out
institutions,” Hensarling, a
member of the GOP leader-
ship, called them when he
introduced his legislation last
month. In a brief interview,
he said that once Fannie and
Freddie are gone, he “abso-
lutely, positively, unequivo-
cally” wants to end the gov-
ernment’s role in the mort-
gage market.

Stober follows in mother’s footsteps

By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — For Josiah Stober, it was
definitely Providence.
He occupies the very room and position
— High School Intervention Specialist —
that his late mother, Charlotte, occupied in
her short time as a teacher at Jefferson.
He also carries the mantle of another part
of her life and what weighed on her heart:
concern for kids and athletics.
That is what he brings to the table as he
heads up the local chapter of the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes.
“It was just starting (about 5 years ago)
when my mom taught there and she was
involved in getting it going. This is my first
year of running it,” Stober noted.
According to the national organization’s
web site, it started in 1954 and is currently
the largest Christian campus ministry in the
world. It is on more campuses than the next
three largest campus ministries combined.
In the past year, FCA reached more than
350,000 people on over 7,100 campuses and
worked with more than 46,000 coaches and
athletes at camps across the globe.
The numbers for this ministry are stag-
gering yet it remains a mystery to many.
Even the late Tom Landry, legendary Dallas
Cowboys’ coach and lifetime trustee of FCA,
used to call it “America’s best-kept secret.”
Stober wants to make sure this is no lon-
ger a “secret.”
“I want student-athletes to know we’re still
around and want to get kids involved. That is
one of the reasons we staged our Dodgeball
Tournament April 16,” he explained. “(High
School Principal) John Edinger hosted some-
thing like this when he was at Spencerville
and I remember that as a student. I gradu-
ated from there and played sports there. I
wanted to do something like that here — to
let the students know we’re still around and
involved — and it was just a matter of find-
ing a free Saturday night. I thought it was a
lot of fun and well-received. My hope is that
now we get more students at least curious
and perhaps attending our meetings.
“We meet every Friday morning before
school — there’s 40-50 regular attendees —
and we divide them up into three groups. We
have competitive tasks but the whole idea
is to build fellowship; they have to work
together. We have had guest speakers come
in — like area youth pastors — or I occa-
sionally give a 10-minute lesson on some-
thing that God puts on my heart.”
He brings his athletic experience to the
fore in this endeavor.
“I have been involved in sports my whole
life, even at college. I speak from experi-
ence at what it’s like to be in a competitive
world and yet realize Who you are ultimately
playing for,” he continued. “We talk about Photo submitted

NFL players can go back to work — for now Bruce homers as

By DAVE CAMPBELL
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The
NFL is a long way from play-
ing football again — even if
players are welcomed back to
work with no lockout to stop
them.
U.S. District Judge Susan
Richard Nelson granted the
players’ request for an injunc-
tion to lift the lockout on
Monday, ending the NFL’s
work stoppage in its 45th day
but prompting an immediate
notice from the league that it
will appeal.
And players? They were
told to show up ready for
work today.
Carolina Panthers kicker
John Kasay was carrying just
a sheet of paper when he
arrived at Bank of America
Stadium this morning. Kasay,
who served as the team’s
union player representative
before decertification on
March 11, spent about 10
minutes inside the facility.
Asked why he showed up,
Kasay replied: “We’re just
walking through the pro-
cess.”
Jets players Brandon
Moore, Mike DeVito,
D’Brickashaw Ferguson and
Jerricho Cotchery all report-
ed to their team facility, as
did two Redskins: lineback-
er Lorenzo Alexander and
receiver Anthony Armstrong.
The Redskins players
were met by general manager
Bruce Allen and told they
were allowed in the building
but could not work out. They
both left after a few minutes.
“It was a little weird,”
Armstrong said. “It felt like
you were sneaking into the
club or something like that
and they knew you weren’t
supposed to be in there but
they hadn’t done anything
about it yet. Just a little awk-
ward.”
Alexander said he would
call other teammates to let
them know there wasn’t much
reason to show up.
“It was not a scene or noth-
ing,” Alexander explained.
“I picked up my mail, and
I’ll go work out now where
I’ve been training at. ... I
do have a lockout bonus and
since the lockout is lifted, I
wanted to make sure I took
full advantage to come up
here and work out because I
don’t want some technicality
to happen later: ‘You didn’t
show up. You didn’t come.’
And then I’m out of my work-
out bonus.”
Bills safety George Wilson
confirmed that the NFLPA
e-mailed players after
Nelson’s ruling suggesting
they show up at team facili-
ties. He said players were told
if they are denied access that
teams would be in violation
of the judge’s ruling.
“We have received inqui-
ry from a number of players
and agents. We have simply
responded and told them we
don’t see anything wrong with
it,” NFL Players Association
spokesman George Atallah
wrote in a text message to The
Associated Press. “Players
are organizing stuff on their
own.”
NFL spokesman Greg
Aiello said any player who
shows up at team facili-
ties will be allowed in and
“treated courteously and with
respect.”
“As soon as Judge Nelson
lifted the lockout this after-
noon, a number of my team-
mates called and asked me if
they could return to work,”
Browns linebacker Scott
Fujita recalled. “Basically, I
told them I don’t see why
not.”
Others weren’t ready to go
that far.
“The ruling created more
questions than answers,” said
Kyle Vanden Bosch, a Detroit
Lions player representative.
“It seems like the dust still
has to settle over the next
couple of days.”
Vikings linebacker Ben
Leber, a free agent and one of
the nine NFL players who are
plaintiffs in the still-pending
antitrust lawsuit against the
league, said he was assured
by NFLPA leadership that
liability should not be a con-
cern.
The NFL has filed a notice
of appeal questioning whether
Nelson exceeded her juris-
diction, seeking relief from
the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in St. Louis. It also
wants Nelson to put her rul-
ing on hold to let the appeals
process play out.
If the injunction is upheld,
the NFL must resume busi-
ness in some fashion.
It could invoke the 2010
rules for free agency, mean-
ing players would need six
seasons of service before
becoming unrestricted free
agents when their contracts
expire; previously, it was four
years. The requirement for
restricted free agents would
be four years rather than
the three years before 2010.
There also was no salary cap
in 2010, meaning teams could
spend as much — or as little
— as they wanted.
All of this was in the back-
ground for this week’s draft,
which has a weird feel as
teams prepped for picks with-
out free agency or the ability
to swap personnel.
Jim Quinn, an attorney for
the players, said the pressure
is on the league.
“They better act quick-
ly because as of right now
there’s no stay and, presum-
ably, players could sign with
teams,” Quinn said. “There
are no guidelines as of right
now, so they have to put
something in place quickly.”
Nelson’s ruling was anoth-
er rebuke of the NFL in the
federal courts in Minnesota,
which was established years
ago as the venue for the
league’s collective bargain-
ing system. Three weeks ago,
NFL attorney David Boies
suggested to Nelson that she
shouldn’t have jurisdiction
over a dispute with an unfair
bargaining accusation against
the players pending with the
National Labor Relations
Board.
In her ruling, Nelson
rejected that contention and
recognized the NFL Players
Association’s decision to
“de-unionize” as legitimate
because it has “serious conse-
quences” for the players.
Nelson even referenced
her colleague, U.S. District
Judge David Doty, who has
frequently ruled for the play-
ers in the past. Not only did
she declare that players are
likely to suffer harm by the
lockout, a legal requirement
for granting the injunction,
Nelson wrote they’re already
feeling the hurt now.
She cited their short
careers, arguing that mon-
etary damages wouldn’t be
enough relief.
What Nelson didn’t do,
however, was tackle the issue
of the antitrust lawsuit filed
last month when the union
broke up. That, she wrote,
“must wait another day.”
In an opinion piece post-
ed late Monday on the Wall
Street Journal’s website,
NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell wrote that Nelson’s
ruling “may significantly alter
professional football as we
know it. ... By blessing this
negotiating tactic (recogniz-
ing the players’ right to dis-
solve their union), the deci-
sion may endanger one of the
most popular and successful
sports leagues in history.”
Owners imposed the lock-
out after talks broke down
March 11 and the players dis-
banded their union.
Nelson heard arguments
on the injunction at a hearing
on April 6 and ordered the
two sides to resume media-
tion while she was consider-
ing her decision. The owners
and players, who failed to
reach consensus after 16 days
of mediated talks earlier this
year, met over four days with
a federal magistrate but did
not announce any progress on
solving the impasse.
They are not scheduled
to meet again until May 16,
four days after Doty holds a
hearing on whether players
should get damages in their
related fight with owners over
some $4 billion in broadcast
revenue.
With appeals expected, the
fight seems likely to drag on
through the spring. The closer
it gets to August, when train-
ing camps and the preseason
get into full swing, the more
likely it becomes that regular-
season games could be lost.
In a statement, the NFL
expressed confidence in its
appeal.
NFLPA executive director
DeMaurice Smith said players
were eager to resume court-
ordered mediation to resolve
the fight.
Reds top Brewers
By COLIN FLY
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Dusty
Baker shook up his lineup
looking for answers with Scott
Rolen on the dis-
abled list. Brandon
Phillips took advan-
tage of being back in
a familiar spot.
Phillips went
3-for-4 and drove in
three runs hitting fourth, Jay
Bruce added a 2-run homer
and the Cincinnati Reds used
a 6-run third inning to beat the
Milwaukee Brewers 9-5 on
Monday night.
“I came through and I’m
glad I did because we real-
ly needed those runs,” said
Phillips, who has batted clean-
up 343 times in his career.
“The changes to the lineup
really woke us up a bit.”
Baker said he’ll continue
shuffling the lineup to look
for the right combinations.
Already ahead 1-0, the
Reds sent 11 batters to the
plate in the third, holding Chris
Narveson (1-1) to his shortest
outing in 38 career starts.
Cincinnati had eight hits
in the inning one night after
managing just four in a shut-
out loss to St. Louis. Bruce
homered and Phillips, Jonny
Gomes, Ryan Hanigan and
even Bronson Arroyo (3-2)
drove in a run each to give
Cincinnati a 7-0 lead.
Arroyo pitched effectively
into the seventh to snap his
2-game losing skid.
“It’s always fun to get that
many runs early. It makes it
that much easier for you to
pitch it (with) less effort,”
Arroyo said. “I went out there
in some of the middle innings
and was just cutting a bunch
of balls at 80 miles an hour
just to preserve energy.”
Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun
continued his torrid stretch
with a two-run homer in the
ninth.
Phillips was in the fourth
spot for the first time this
season and Bruce moved up
to second. Everything worked
for the Reds, who had been
but he was sick yesterday. He
was better today, definitely
better today. But I know he
wasn’t 100 percent. Hopefully
that is the reason he was up in
the zone. Everything he threw
was up.”
Milwaukee cut it to
7-1 in the fifth after
Jonathan Lucroy dou-
bled and shortstop Paul
Janish threw Erick
Almonte’s grounder
into the Brewers dugout for
an error.
Arroyo left with one out
in the seventh and runners in
scoring position and reliever
Logan Ondrusek allowed a
sacrifice fly by Carlos Gomez
that made it 7-2. Lucroy drove
in a run in the eighth off Nick
Massett to make it 7-3.
Phillips hit a 2-run single
with an out in the ninth and
Braun’s homer in the bottom
of the inning was the final
margin.
Joey Votto doubled in
the third to reach base safely
in all 23 games this season.
Votto was robbed of another
hit in the sixth when Gomez,
in center field, made a diving
catch that included a double
somersault.
Braun extended his hitting
streak to 10 games after being
named NL player of the week
earlier Monday and signing
a $105 million extension on
Thursday. He’s reached base
safely in all 22 games to start
the season, one short of the
franchise record to begin a
year set by Robin Yount in
1983.
Rockies 5, Cubs 3
CHICAGO — Cubs shortstop
Starlin Castro committed three
errors in the second inning and the
Colorado Rockies beat Chicago 5-3
Monday night.
Matt Garza’s errant throw to first
on a bunt was the Cubs’ fourth error
of the night and opened the door
to two more runs. Only one of the
five runs scored against Garza (0-3)
were earned. He gave up three hits
and a walk in six innings.
Dexter Fowler had a triple, walk
and scored a run for Colorado.
Rockies starter Esmil Rogers
(3-1) gave up eight hits and four
walks, but just three runs in 5 1/3
innings. Huston Street pitched the
ninth for his eighth save in eight
chances.
Kosuke Fukudome set a career

The Associated Press
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
COLUMBUS — In a sharply-
worded rebuke of Ohio State’s Jim
Tressel, the NCAA accused the
10-year coach of withholding infor-
mation and lying to keep Buckeyes
players on the field who had accept-
ed improper benefits from the owner
of a tattoo parlor.
In a “notice of allegations”
sent to the school, the NCAA said
Monday the violations relating to
the coach are considered “potential
major violations.”
Ohio State was not cited for the
most serious of institutional breach-
es since Tressel hid information
from his superiors for more than
nine months. The university has 90
days to respond to the ruling body of
college sports’ request for informa-
tion before a scheduled date before
the NCAA’s committee on infrac-
SPORTS BRIEFS
tions on Aug. 12 in Indianapolis.
In a 13-page indictment of
Tressel’s behavior, the NCAA
alleged that Tressel had “permitted
football student-athletes to partici-
pate in intercollegiate athletics while
ineligible.” It also asserted he “failed
to deport himself ... (with) honesty
and integrity” and added he was
lying when he filled out a com-
pliance form in September which
claimed he had no knowledge of
any NCAA violations by any of his
players.
WASHINGTON — Nine of the
11 members of an NCAA panel that
will help decide the Fiesta Bowl’s
fate attended a bowl-sponsored
retreat that included free meals,
resort rooms and golf outings.
The nine names all showed up
on a 2008 “Fiesta Frolic” attendee
list obtained by Playoff PAC in a
public records request. The group
provided the list to The Associated
Press.
The NCAA Postseason Bowl
Licensing Subcommittee is sched-
uled to meet with Fiesta Bowl offi-
cials this week in New Orleans but
won’t make a decision on whether
to revoke the bowl’s license until
later this spring. The Fiesta Bowl,
played at University of Phoenix
Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., is one
of four bowls that rotate hosting the
Bowl Championship Series national
title game.
JACKSON, N.J. — Paralyzed
Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand
doesn’t believe in feeling sorry for
himself, getting angry or wondering
“Why me?”
It’s not his style.
The 20-year-old said his injury
while making a tackle on a kickoff
return against Army on Oct. 16 at
New Meadowlands Stadium was
a 1-in-5 million long shot that hap-
pened because fate or God inter-
vened.
“There is a reason why it hap-
pened, that’s what I truly believe,”
LeGrand said in a his first open
meeting with the media on Monday.
“I was picked for this to happen
to. Some people can’t go through
injuries like this, it would just put
them down. I just believe God put
me through this because he knows
I can fight through this.”
The junior defensive tackle is
going to rehabilitation three times
a week. He’s finishing off an eco-
nomics course. He’s thinking about
becoming a sportscaster. And all
along, he’s believing with all his
might that one day, he will walk
again.
When that will happen, LeGrand
doesn’t know. He just knows he
will.
hitting .229 in a 3-8 stretch
coming into the series against
the Brewers.
Even with the slump, the
Reds lead the National League
in runs (123), home runs (28)
and RBIs (119) and powered
past the Brewers for the fourth
straight time this season after
a season-opening sweep.
Narveson had thrown 13
scoreless innings in his two
home starts at Miller Park
but brought his road struggles
back to Milwaukee by lasting
just 2 1/3 innings. In his last
three appearances, he’s 0-3
with an 8.35 ERA.
“He didn’t have it,” Brewers
manager Ron Roenicke said.
“Everything was elevated. I
don’t want to make excuses

Darwin Barney hit a 2-run homer in
the first inning.
Diamondbacks 4, Phillies 0
PHOENIX — New father Ian
Kennedy threw a 3-hitter in the first
complete game of his major-league
career, outpitching Cliff Lee.
The Diamondbacks snapped
a 4-game skid as they opened a
10-game home stand after being
swept in three games by the Mets in
New York.
Kennedy (3-1) struck out 10 —
including Jimmy Rollins to end the
game — and walked none. He had
come home early from the team’s
trip for the delivery of he and his
wife’s’ first child, Nora Rose, at 2:04
a.m. on Sunday.
Chris Young and Gerardo Parra
homered off Lee, both on the first
pitch of an at-bat. Lee (2-2) gave
up four runs on five hits in seven
innings, matching his season high
with 12 strikeouts, one shy of his
career high, and walking one.

Judge’s relationship at issue in gay marriage case

By LISA LEFF
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Rumors swirled
that the federal judge who had struck down
California’s same-sex marriage ban last sum-
mer was gay, but the lawyers charged with
defending the measure remained silent on the
subject. Their preferred strategy for getting the
ruling overturned on appeal was to focus on the
law, not a judge’s personal life, they said.
Eight months later, Proposition 8’s pro-
ponents and their attorneys have taken a new
position. They filed a motion Monday seeking
to vacate Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn
Walker’s historic ruling, a move they said was
prompted by the now-retired jurist’s recent
disclosure that he is in a long-term relationship
with another man.
Lawyers for the ban’s backers argue that the
judge’s relationship status, not his sexual orien-
tation, gave him too much in common with the
couples who successfully sued to overturn the
ban in his court. The judge should have recused
himself or at least revealed the relationship to
avoid a real or perceived conflict of interest,
the lawyers say.
“If at any time while this case was pending
before him, Chief Judge walker and his partner
determined that they desired, or might desire, to
marry, Chief Judge Walker plainly had an inter-
est that could be substantially affected by the
outcome of the proceeding,” wrote attorneys
for the coalition of religious and conservative
groups that put Proposition 8 on the November
2008 ballot.
They are now asking the judge who inher-
ited the case when Walker retired at the end
of February to toss out Walker’s August 2010
decision. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
already is reviewing its legal merits at the
request of the voter-approved measure’s spon-
sors.
Walker has said that he did not consider
his sexual orientation to be any more a reason
for recusal than another judge’s race or gen-
der normally would be. A spokeswoman said
Monday that the judge wouldn’t comment on
the motion.
American Foundation for Equal Rights
President Chad Griffin, whose group has fund-
ed the legal effort to strike down Proposition 8,
scoffed at the notion that the judge’s personal
life could imperil his ruling.
Griffin noted that the Obama administra-
tion recently had decided to stop defending the
federal law that bans recognition of same-sex
marriage after determining that it, too, was
unconstitutional.
“This motion is another in a string of des-
perate and absurd motions by the proponents
of Proposition 8, who refuse to accept that the
freedom to marry is a constitutional right,“ he
said.
Walker, a 67-year-old Republican appointee,
declared Proposition 8 to be an unconstitutional
violation of gay Californians’ civil rights. He
also ordered the state to stop enforcing the gay
marriage ban, but the 9th Circuit put his order
on hold while the case is on appeal.
Speculation about Walker’s sexual orien-
tation circulated during the 13-day trial that
preceded his decision and after he handed
down his ruling. Lawyers for Protect Marriage,
the coalition that sponsored Proposition 8,
however, had purposely refrained from rais-
ing his sexual orientation as a legal issue until
Monday.
But they decided it gave them grounds for
getting Walker’s decision struck down after
the judge disclosed his 10-year relationship this
month to a group of courthouse reporters, said
Protect Marriage general counsel Andy Pugno.
“We deeply regret the necessity of this
motion. But if the courts are to require others to
follow the law, the courts themselves must do
so as well,” Pugno added.
Indiana University Law School professor
Charles Geyh, an expert on judicial ethics, said
that without more evidence that Walker stood
to personally benefit if same-sex marriages
were legal in California, he found it difficult
to imagine that the particulars of the judge’s
same-sex relationship provided gay marriage
opponents with an avenue for reversing his
ruling.

Bus bombings kill 4 in
Pakistan’s biggest city
KARACHI (AP) — Bombs planted by the roadside tore
through two Pakistani navy buses taking employees to work
today, killing four people and wounding more than 50 others.
The blasts took place roughly 15 minutes apart in differ-
ent areas of Karachi, the country’s biggest city, said Navy
Commander Salman Ali.
Islamist militants have staged repeated attacks on secu-
rity forces and other state targets in recent years. Allied
with or inspired by al-Qaida, they are seeking to overthrow
Pakistan’s U.S.-allied government or force a halt in army
offensives against their safe havens in the northwest close to
Afghanistan.
Karachi, the economic heart of the nation and the home of
the Pakistan navy, has not been spared.
Police said the bombs were concealed by the side of the
road, and were presumably detonated by remote control.
The victims included naval officers and employees of the
force, said Ali, adding one of the dead was a female doctor.
Islamist terrorism in Pakistan began in earnest after the
U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, which caused wide-
spread anger in Pakistan and destabilized its border regions.
Push to spur more drugs for deadly rare diseases
By LAURAN NEERGAARD
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Every other week, 7-year-old twins
Addison and Cassidy Hempel have an experimental medicine
injected into their spines in hopes of battling a rare, fatal disease.
And it’s their mom who made that possible.
From her home in Reno, Nev., Chris Hempel persuaded sci-
entists to share their research and managed to get the government
to sign off on her daughters’ unusual experiment. Hempel says
getting help to fight a rare disease shouldn’t be so hard.
But it’s a huge challenge to generate drug company interest
in the expensive testing of medicines for diseases so rare — like
her girls’ Niemann-Pick Type C — that the market is only a few
hundred or few thousand people a year.
There are treatments for just 200 of the roughly 7,000 rare
diseases, illnesses that affect fewer than 200,000 people, often
far, far fewer. Yet add those diseases together, and more than 20
million Americans have one.
Now a movement is beginning to spur more rare-disease
treatments: The National Institutes of Health this fall will open
a center to speed genetic discoveries into usable therapies, doing
some of the riskiest early-stage research in hopes companies then
will step in.
A new International Rare Diseases Research Consortium is
pushing for at least 200 more treatments by 2020, in part by pool-
ing the work of far-flung scientists and families.
Rather than starting from scratch, the Food and Drug
Administration is pointing the way for manufacturers to “repur-
pose” old drugs for new use against rare diseases, publishing a list
of those deemed particularly promising.
And bipartisan legislation recently introduced in the Senate,
called the Creating Hope Act, would offer drug makers another
financial incentive — a voucher promising fast FDA evaluation
of their next blockbuster drug in return for developing a therapy
for a rare or neglected disease that disproportionately affects chil-
dren. It’s unclear what the prospects for passage are.
“We have to give drug companies a reason to go into this mar-
ket,” says Nancy Goodman of Kids v Cancer, a group pushing
the legislation. Her son Jacob died at age 10 from a type of brain
cancer that has no good treatment.
“My kids may not be curable, but they are treatable,” adds
Hempel, the Nevada mom. “Who’s going to take this over?”
Pharmaceutical giants are starting to show some new interest
in rare diseases, traditionally a niche market for small biotech
companies. The practical reason: Blockbusters are drying up,
says Dr. Ed Mascioli of Pfizer Inc., the world’s largest drug
company.

Prosecutors review charges in attack at McDonald’s

The extremists began targeting the Pakistani state after it allied
with Washington in its campaign against extremism.
Meanwhile, 14 people, among them women and children,
were killed when fire ripped through a bus in southwestern
Pakistan late Monday. Witness Abdul Hai said the bus in
Baluchistan was attacked by gunmen who later set it on fire.
Other officials were quoted in Pakistani media giving a similar
account of the incident.
But police officer Sayeed Farid Shah said the bus caught
fire due to an engine fault.
Hai said the bus was parked at a roadside restaurant where
he worked and he saw the attack
Baluchistan is wracked by separatist violence and civil-
ians are often targeted, especially settlers from elsewhere in
Pakistan. Information from the region is very to hard confirm,
and transparent investigations are rarely carried out into vio-
lent incidents.
ROSEDALE, Md. (AP) — Baltimore County prosecutors
are reviewing whether further charges, including hate crimes
counts, are warranted in an attack on a transgender woman at a
McDonald’s that was caught on video, authorities said Monday.
The review of the April 18 beating also will determine whether others
will be charged, State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger said Monday.
The video posted online shows a woman being attacked out-
side the restroom of the restaurant in Rosedale and apparently
having a seizure. Teonna Monae Brown, 18, was arrested Friday
and charged with first- and second-degree assault. A 14-year-old
girl has been charged as a juvenile.
The woman beaten, 22-year-old Chrissy Lee Polis, told The
Baltimore Sun that before she was attacked she heard a teen say
Polis was a man using the women’s restroom and accused Polis
of talking to her man. The 14-year-old told police that she and
Thoms ended up getting punched in the face herself, she said.
“She hit me like a man would hit and she was 14 years old,”
she said.
Afterward, a man behind the counter asked Thoms if she real-
ized that the person being beaten was a not a woman and was
transgendered.
“I told him, ‘No I didn’t and I don’t care,”’ she said. “He said
he worked with her and she had a smart mouth — in other words,
she deserved it.”
Since the attack, Thoms said her nerves are shot and she can’t
stop crying. She told her family about it, but they didn’t under-
stand how awful the situation was until they saw the video on
television last week.
“They couldn’t watch it,” she said.
More than 200 people gathered in the parking lot of the

E-mail: Commander lacked

Brown fought with Polis over using the restroom, according to
charging documents.
Vicky Thoms said she walked into the restaurant to find the

one bystander was even recording the attack with his cell phone
camera, she said. When she stepped up and asked the girls to stop,
McDonald’s, for a rally Monday night. The restaurant had closed
for the evening in support, and the roads around it were clogged.
Between embraces from strangers who applauded her inter-

Polis decided not to attend, but Thoms said she wished that
she had come so she could give her a hug.

Houston doctors say Giffords can attend launch

WASHINGTON (AP) — A D.C. police commander who
oversees police escorts apparently was unaware of details
about an escort given to Charlie Sheen last week and demanded
answers from his subordinates, according to an e-mail obtained
by The Associated Press on Monday.
In the e-mail sent Wednesday afternoon to other police
officials, and in response to questions from the media,
Commander Hilton Burton demanded details about the escort
given to Sheen on the way to his performance Tuesday at DAR
Constitution Hall. Sheen, who flew into Dulles International
Airport, was running late for the show after attending a child
custody hearing earlier in the day in Los Angeles.
Burton is commander of the department’s Special Operations
Division, which generally is responsible for providing police
escorts.
Sheen posted on Twitter that he had received a police escort
to the show and included a photograph of a speedometer regis-
tering about 80 mph. His promotional company has repaid the
HOUSTON — Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords
is set to reach an important milestone this week when she ven-
tures from her Houston rehabilitation hospital for the first time to
watch her astronaut husband rocket into space history.
Giffords and her doctors set the Cape Canaveral, Fla., trip as a
goal early on in her rehabilitation. It was the hope of her husband,
Mark Kelly, too as he trained to lead NASA’s next-to-last space
shuttle flight.
On Monday, doctors at TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital
confirmed the congresswoman will fly to Florida to watch Kelly
command the space shuttle Endeavour when it makes its final
flight to the International Space Station.
The doctors said Giffords is “medically able” to travel and
that they view the trip as part of her rehabilitation from a Jan. 8
gunshot wound to the head. The congresswoman was wounded in
a mass shooting that killed six people in Tucson, Ariz.
It seems an extraordinary accomplishment now, that she
would be able to attend the liftoff and that Kelly would feel
comfortable leaving her side to fly into space. The launch is set
Friday afternoon, and President Barack Obama and his wife and
two daughters will be there too. However, it’s unclear whether
they’ll sit with Giffords.
Kelly reported his wife said “awesome” and fist-pumped
when doctors told her she could attend the launch, according to
a transcript of an interview with CBS’s Katie Couric that will be
broadcast Monday on the Evening News.
For brain injured patients like Giffords, goals and outings are key
to rehab. Setting goals helps patients work toward something tangible,
doctors say, while trips and outings can be used to reintroduce them to
the community and see how they interact in different situations.

In response to a series of written questions about the escort,
Burton told subordinates in the e-mail, “This is why we should
not do escorts for any and every body.” Burton also demanded
to know the cost of the escort, the “law that allows us to do it,”
where the escort came from and whether security was provided
during the show. He also asked if Sheen was given an escort
after the show.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier said on Friday that escorts were
generally reserved for the president, vice president and visiting
heads of state, though exceptions can be made on a case-by-
case basis. She also said Sheen’s escort appeared to violate
police protocol.
The department’s internal affairs division is investigating
the escort.
Guy Fieri joins lawmakers
to push family meals
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Guy Fieri was back on the
road Monday, this time not to find hole-in-the-wall eateries but
to support California politicians telling parents to cook with
their children every Sunday.
Standing outside the state Capitol, the celebrity chef
lamented the rise of drive-thrus and microwave dinners in
place of sit-down, home-cooked meals.
Fieri, known for his boisterous style in the Food Network’s
“Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” said that by making cooking
a shared activity, parents could bring their families closer
together and encourage healthy eating habits in children.
“Let them stand there and work the saute pan, let them
do the plate up, let them deliver it to the family,” said Fieri,
sporting his trademark platinum blond hair, cowboy boots and
sunglasses worn on the back of his head. “Start them off slow.
Educate them as you go.”
He went on to visit the state Senate, which adopted a resolu-
tion urging the weekly meals, as well as the Assembly, where
the resolution now awaits action.
The resolution by state Sen. Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres,
follows a 2008 initiative that Fieri helped draft to label the
second Saturday in May “Cook With Your Kids Day.”
Fieri owns several restaurants in California and hosts two
shows on the Food Network and the NBC game show “Minute
to Win It.”

Hundreds Expected to Cash In Today by Selling

Silver & Gold Coins During Record High Market!
By KEN MCINTOSH
STAFF WRITER

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers,
radio and running television spots this week
asking people to bring in any old silver and
gold coins made before 1965. Those that
bring in their coins will be able to speak
with collectors one on one and have their
coins looked at with an expert set of eyes.
With the help of these ICCA members, offers
will be made to those that have coins made
before 1965. Offers will be made based
on silver or gold content and the rarity of
the coins. All coins made before 1965 will
be examined and purchased including gold
coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of
nickels and pennies. Those that decide to
sell their coins will be paid on the spot.
If you are like a lot of people you might
have a few old coins or even a coffee
can full lying around. If you have ever
wondered what they are worth now might
be your chance to find out and even sell
them if you choose. They could be worth
a lot according to the International Coin
Collectors Association also known as ICCA.
Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins
and currency for their collections. If it is
rare enough, one coin could be worth over
$100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin
collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare
dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record
$1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007.
While that is an extreme example, many
rare and valuable coins are stashed away
in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the
country. The ICCA and its collector members
