Idaho farm hosts weed dating for singles

By JESSIE L. BONNER The Associated Press BOISE, Idaho For one night a year, a neighborhood farm in northwest Boise turns into a respite for singles who are tired of the same old dating scene. A poster board planted at the entrance of Earthly Delights Farm in late June advertised Weed Dating, with a heart-stamped arrow guiding visitors to a sign-in table, where they were each assigned a number and invited to sample beer provided by a local brewer. The farm is among a handful across the country offering an unconventional form of speed dating. Typically, speed daters meet at a bar or restaurant and switch conversational partners every few minutes, in hopes of finding someone compatible. With weed dating, this rapid-fire courtship takes place on the farm, with singles working together in the fields. The payoff for their toil? A chance at romance. Joe Peraino, 27, met his previous girlfriend while weed dating at the Boise farm last year. They were together for nine months and found that few others couples could top their account of how they met, said Peraino, who has since relocated to South Carolina. Its a pretty fun story, because its not like a known thing, weed dating. A lot of

Most people who enjoy an Immaculate Conception Parish Festival meal probably dont realize the work that goes into preparing the offering. The day starts at 5 a.m. for many volunteers, including the fried chicken crew. They say the early bird gets the worm but these guys know the early birds get to work in cooler temperatures. It a lot cooler to fry chicken at the early morning, Steve Beining said. Were done and on to the next job before it gets too hot outside. Carl Beining has been on chicken detail for at least 25 years and said he enjoys helping with the festival. This is a great community event, he said. Everyone pitches in to make it successful. Also on the crew are Mike Grote, Neil Beining and Terry Eickholt. Another group comes in at 8 a.m. to help with cleanup. Festival dinner coordinator DeeDee Schlagbaum said the guys fried 1,640 pieces of chicken Sunday morning and others prepared 620 pounds of beef, 125 pounds of noodles, 50 pounds of cole slaw and more for the 1,800 meals served.

people are like, So, were you on a pot farm? Casey OLeary, 33, owns the Earthly Delights Farm and first heard of the idea from a farm in Vermont. Farms in states that include Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio have also advertised similar weed dating events. OLeary organized her first weed dating last year for about 20 people, including some friends and interns on her farm. More than 40 men and women showed up for this years weed dating. I feel bad if we dont have the right people for the right people, OLeary said before addressing the crowd. Were all weirdos, in general, people, were all weirdos right? So like, its just a matter of if the right weirdos show up. In her role as matchmaker, OLeary shook a small tambourine to catch everyones attention and reassured those who had already started to eye each other that everybody would be paired up with everybody over the course of the evening. With ages ranging from early 20s to early 50s, OLeary also provided a small disclaimer. Obviously, there are some matches that probably are not appropriate, age-wise, and thats OK, she said. Were all adults, so just have a good time. See DATING, page 2

Russia accuses West of blackmail on Syria plans

By JIM HEINTZ The Associated Press MOSCOW Russia today accused the West of effectively trying to use blackmail to secure a new U.N. Security Council resolution that could allow for the use of force in Syria. The Security Council is debating a new resolution on Syria as international envoy Kofi Annans plan for halting the fighting appears dead and the violence in Syria escalates. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was meeting Annan later today, with his country facing intense criticism that it is standing in the way of an end to the conflict. Russia has adamantly opposed international military intervention in Syria. Such a step has been all but ruled out publicly by Western nations, but the text for a Western-backed resolution circulated by Britain that calls for sanctions would leave the possibility open for military enforcement under the U.N. Charters Chapter 7. Russia has submitted a rival text. The debate comes as a mandate for a U.N. observer force expires on July 20, and Lavrov insisted that the West was using the deadline as a bargaining chip. To our great regret, there are elements of blackmail, Lavrov said at a news conference. We are being told that if you do not agree to passing the resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, then we shall refuse to extend the mandate of the monitoring mission. We consider it to be an absolutely counterproductive and dangerous approach, since it is unacceptable to use monitors as bargaining chips, he said. The British draft threatens non-military sanctions against President Bashar Assads government if it doesnt withdraw troops and heavy weapons from population centers within 10 days. Throughout the 16-month Syrian crisis, in which activists say some 17,000 people have been killed in fighting between Assads forces and opposition groupings, Russia has adamantly opposed international military intervention, fearing a repeat of the type of international action that helped

POLICE REPORT

Resident cited for OVI

At 9:51 a.m. on Saturday, Delphos Police were contacted by a resident of the 1200 block of Park Avenue in reference to a theft complaint. Upon speaking with the victim, it was found that sometime in the overnight hours, someone gained entry into the victims vehicle and had taken a small amount of money and a pair of binoculars.

At 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, Delphos Police were contacted by a business in the 1100 block of Elida Avenue in reference to a theft that had just occurred at the business. The business owner was able to provide officers a vehicle description and direction of travel of the subject involved. Officers were able to catch the subject a short distance outside of the city limits and identify them. Reports indicate Shay Ringwald, 23, of Rockford and Jessica Beveridge, 24, of Rockford will be charged with theft of gasoline and charged into Lima Municipal Court on At 9:04 p.m. on Friday the offense. while on routine patrol in the area of West Cleveland and South Canal streets, Delphos Police came into contact with Roger Queen At 3:24 a.m. on Friday, II, 21 of Delphos, at which time it was found Delphos Police were called to that Queen was operating the 900 block of North Main a motor vehicle without a Street in reference to a crimidrivers license and operat- nal damaging complaint at a ing a motor vehicle while residence in that area.

drive Libyas Moammar Gadhafi out of power. Russia says it does not overtly support Assad, Russias longtime ally, and by strongly backing Annans plan. It maintains any change of power in Syria must be achieved through negotiation, but the Syrian opposition has repeatedly said no negotiations with the Assad regime are possible unless he first leaves power. Lavrov reiterated Moscows position today, saying it was unrealistic to try to persuade Assad to resign. He wont leave, not because we are defending him, but simply because a very significant part of the population in Syria stands behind him, he said. Comments by Annan last week indicated he favors the British resolution draft and it was unclear if he would have any significant leverage to exert on Russia during his two-day trip to Moscow, which also includes a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. Lavrov said he would not characterize the situation as a stalemate, but expressed dismay with the continuing fighting. What is happening in Syria is horrible, he said.

Victim reports damage to home

Heres how it works: Each of the ladies will be assigned to a specific row, with more instructions to follow after we get you into the beds, OLeary said, prompting nervous snickers that erupted into laughter as the tension eased. The women were given a crash course in how to identify a weed versus a vegetable or fruit, and then instructed to pass that information along to the men, who rotated from each bed every three minutes. Please dont pull out our crops. This is a working farm, OLeary said before sending them off. With the dating in full swing, OLeary moved between the neat rows of lettuce, strawberries, eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes. She said she likes the idea of helping gardeners and people with similar interests find each other. But seeing people weed her farm is also nice.

Johnson said. Im not much into dating, like speed dating or like, online dating. But its always fun to meet new people. Weeding is actually one her favorite activities, she said, adding: Last year I was joking that if I would have weeded with my ex-boyfriend, we probably would have never gotten together ... He was not a very good weeder. Brian Cox, a 47-year-old artist and musician, came looking for a new way to meet people. The typical speed dating, its just kind of awkward, Cox said. But this is just beautiful, because its like outside, its very organic. Literally. Joe DeGano, 46, a sales and marketing manager for a company that manufactures clutch components for motorcycles, said he was there to meet chicks, to fall in love. But for the more-reserved, the farm provided numbered mason jars that corresponded with the numbers assigned to each participant, just in case any of the weed daters were too shy to approach someone directly and wanted to instead leave a note. That was how Peraino, an intern at the farm last year, communicated with a woman named Jenn at last years event. He described himself as somewhat shy, but at weed datOCAL ing he found himself surrounded by people with similar interests. Corn: There were activists, gardeners, Wheat: and outdoor enthusiasts.

Cincy residents help stranded Indonesian choir
CINCINNATI (AP) An Indonesian choir that missed its performances at the World Choir Games in Cincinnati because of travel troubles and ended up stranded has found generosity and an audience in the city. The 49-member Gema Chandra Cendrawasih University Choir arrived shortly before closing ceremonies Saturday with little money, nowhere to perform and no way home. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports residents helped, with a Batavia woman volunteering as a translator and an off-duty bus driver offering his services. Meanwhile, organizers arranged for the singers to perform Sunday at churches and a convention center lobby. Some in the audience donated money, bringing singers to tears. The nearly $3,000 will help the singers cover expenses. They have a flight home from San Francisco on Friday, but first must find a way to California.

Police shoot man who points gun at them

ELYRIA (AP) Police say officers have shot and wounded a man who pointed a handgun at them and made up a story about killing his wife. Officers arrived at the mans home just after 5 p.m. after he called saying hed killed his wife and was going to kill himself. He was on the porch, but went inside when they arrived. A short time later, the man came outside pointing the weapon at himself. Police say they shot him after he refused to put the gun down and instead pointed it at officers. The man, who police have not been identified, has been taken to a hospital. His condition is not known. It was determined that his wife was not at home during the incident and was unharmed.

TOLEDO (AP) Longlost files uncovered when a storage trailer was unloaded unveiled years of secret surveillance by an Ohio police department on anti-war activists, organizations and others. Ken Dickson, author of several books about Toledo area history, had asked to access the files for his research on organized crime and eventually took his request to court. No one could locate the files and Kenneth Deck, founder of the police museum and the only person who knew the contents of the storage site, had died. The intelligence documents did not resurface until 2010, when the new Toledo Police Museum opened and museum volunteers unpacked the trailer. The documents detail the police intelligence units surveillance work from 1967 to 1973, according to The Blade. Organized crime and illegal gambling were the units main priorities, but it also gathered information on organizations spanning the political spectrum, from the KKK and White Panthers to the Students for a Democratic Society, the National Socialist Party, and Black Panthers. We would surveil them when they came into town. Wed identify who they were, who their leaders were, who they were meeting with, who they were recruiting, said

Obama visits Cincinnati today

By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is preparing to tell Ohio voters that Republican Mitt Romneys tax proposals would spur job growth in foreign countries including China. The president also plans to highlight his administrations 2009 bailout of the auto industry, which saved thousands of jobs in Ohio, according to Democrats. Romney opposed Obamas use of massive federal loans to keep Chrysler and General Motors afloat while they reorganized under bankruptcy protection. Obama is holding a town hall event in Cincinnati, one of the states most heavily Republican areas. Ohio and Florida again are shaping up as the most intensely competitive states in the presidential race. White House aides said Obama will cite news reports suggesting that Romneys plans for limited taxing of overseas profits by U.S. companies would encourage foreign job growth. The two candidates have repeatedly accused each other of outsourcing American jobs. The White House said Obama will renew his call for extending the Bushera tax cuts on all households except those earning more than $250,000 a year. Romney says the wealthiest Americans also should keep their tax breaks because they are the most likely people to create jobs. Ohios Republican governor, John Kasich, often notes that his states unemployment rate is lower than the national average. That has proved awkward at times for Romney, who assails Obamas stewardship of the national economy. Kasich and other Republicans say the states unemployment rate has dropped steadily in spite of Obamas economic policies, not because of them. Obama, in an interview on CBS, was asked about the large number of negative ads that have been run against Romney by his campaign in recent weeks. If you look at the ads that we do, Obama replied, first of all, weve done a whole slew of positive ads that talk exactly about how we need to change our education system, how we need to change our tax code, how we need to rebuild America, how we need to promote American energy. So those just dont get attention in the news, he added. But we are very much promoting. The president said, Ive got a very different approach from Romney. And the m ore detailed we get into what hes saying and what Im saying, I think that serves the democratic process well.

He recalled one of the units tactics to infiltrate and win the trust of the groups it monitored. Along with several other officers, Fodor would attend an organizations meeting and wait for speakers to denounce law enforcement, as they often did. Then, with a burst of apparent outrage, he would rise and point out his fellow undercover officers. The groups would kick out those officers and welcome Fodor into their ranks, unaware that he too was a part of the system they opposed. According to the documents, some of the individuals monitored were in high school, professors at the University of

US, Canada search for WWII pilots remains

FREMONT (AP) U.S. and Canadian agencies have teamed up to search for the remains of a northwest Ohio pilot who was killed 70 years ago with four others when their plane capsized in the Gulf of St. Lawrence near a remote Canadian village. Joint Prisoners of War/ Missing in Action Accounting Command , a federal agency that works to recover members of the military who are missing in action, began an operation Thursday with Parks Canada to search the amphibious planes wreckage, The News-Messenger in Fremont reported. The agencies are searching for the bodies of Fremont native Jack Zimmerman and four others aboard the craft, said Marc-Andre Bernier, chief of Parks Canadas Underwater Archaeological Service. Zimmerman, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps, also was a pioneer in the commercial aviation industry. He flew the first scheduled flight into LaGuardia Airport the day it opened in New York City, earned the nickname Million Miler and flew military missions in Northern Europe during World War II, according to Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center records. Zimmerman had flown military officials to a U.S. military base at the village of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan in Quebec so they could assess construction on an airfield. The Allies needed the airport as part of a route used to send troops, supplies and aircraft to Northern Europe, Bernier said. Snow was falling when the two-engine Catalina developed a leak after two failed takeoffs and sank into the gulf. Divers and others from the agencies plan to spend a month diving on the planes wreckage and hope to recover bodies and any personal items that might have belonged to Zimmerman and the crew, Bernier said. Any remains that are found would be identified and returned to the families at some point, along with any personal items, said U.S. Army Capt. Russell Grigsby of JPAC. The village had about 200 residents then, and about 10

Toledo, ministers, and businessmen. Many of the reports include personal information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, hair and eye color, height and weight, addresses, employment status, typical clothing style, and romantic relations. The archives of the intelligence unit were housed in the original Toledo Police Historic Museum, but when it closed in 1994, retired police Officer Bill Kellar stored the files in the back of a semitrailer parked. Sgt. Joe Heffernan, current Toledo police spokesman, was unaware of the intelligence units surveillance of political activities and the existence of the units files. He declined to comment on the intelligence documents specifically but said the department only collects information on criminal organizations and activities. A member of one of the groups under surveillance, David Reaven, then a freshman at the University of Toledo, said he was unaware of police surveillance of his SDS activities, but the intelligence unit had its eye on him. Reports on meetings regularly note his attendance, and on two grainy, black-andwhite photographs, his name is written in stark red pencil and underlined, with an arrow pointing to a clean cut and bespectacled young man.

village residents who saw the plane crash are still alive. They remember the accident very clearly, Bernier said. To see the Americans come to recover their own is quite touching. The plane, which is lying on its wing and partially buried in sand, is not expected to be moved. Parks Canada discovered the planes wreckage in 2009 while in the area looking for shipwrecks.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio drivers are paying less at the pump after gas prices spiked during the Fourth of July holiday week. The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.36 in todays survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. Thats down 15 cents from a week ago. A year ago, the average was $3.62.

Gas prices dip after Fourth of July

Nationally, the average price for regular gas is about $3.40, a couple of pennies higher than last week. There are signs that crude oil supplies face some constraints, which could push prices higher. U.S. oil supplies swelled in June to 22-year highs. Theyve declined since then, as demand started to rise again in the United States. Refineries have cranked up fuel production.

POLITICS

If sentiment doesnt ultimately make fibbers of some people, their natural abominable memories almost certainly will.

J.D. Salinger (1919-2010)

Killing health care reform wont be easy

By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press WASHINGTON Yes, if Mitt Romney wins the White House and his Republican allies retake the Senate, he could shred most of President Barack Obamas health care law without having to overpower a Democratic filibuster. But it wont be as easy as some Republicans portend, and it certainly wont be quick. Why? Because any realistic effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act as opposed to last weeks quixotic vote in the GOP-controlled House is sure to get jumbled together with lots of other issues, including Medicare, taxes, food stamps and defense spending. And thats because Republicans have to first pass a budget. Its the only way than can invoke special Senate rules that allow legislation to pass with just a simple majority vote instead of the 60 votes needed in the 100-member Senate to beat a filibuster. Passing a budget requires answering a raft of questions unrelated to the relatively simple idea of repealing Obamacare. How much to cut the deficit? Should Medicare be overhauled and Medicaid bear sharp cuts? Is it realistic to sharply boost defense programs, as Romney would like, in such an atmosphere? The first step is to pass a budget resolution a nonbinding, broad-brush outline of budget goals like cutting or increasing taxes, or slowing increases in Medicare. A budget resolution sets the terms for follow-up legislation thats called a reconciliation bill in Washington argot. Two years ago, Democrats used a reconciliation bill to enact the health care law with a 56-43, party-line vote in the Senate. Republicans have a problem in that theres a lot more on their agenda than just repealing the health care law, and its all going to have to be crammed into a budget resolution and follow-up reconciliation bill, too. Theyre going to want to use that budget resolution to set up a tax bill, theyre going to want to do other deficit reduction, said Hazen Marshall, a GOP lobbyist and the Senate Budget Committees top aide in 2001 and 2003 when reconciliation bills were used to push former President George W. Bushs tax cuts through Congress. So I would think its just going to take some time to get everybody on the same page as to what the budget resolutions going to look like, Marshall said. In 2001, when Republicans set about the relatively simple task of cutting taxes in an era of unprecedented budget surpluses, it took them until

IT WAS NEWS THEN

One Year Ago Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Ottoville will hold its annual Parish Festival on Sunday. The late Rita Turnwald will be honored at 2 p.m. for her inception of the Historical Room on the second floor in the parish hall. The reception will be held in a classroom adjacent to the museum. 25 Years Ago 1987 Delphos Fire Chief Don Schimmoller and Denny Hageman, president of Delphos Fire Association, welcomed five new firefighters to the force. They are Joe Shumaker, Tim Klaus, Randy Carder, Denny Osting and Paul Carder. The five will go through 36 hours of basic training, primarily in equipment familiarization. Airman Mark J. Buettner, son of Bonnie L. Buettner of Delphos, recently completed the clinical training portion of the medical service specialist career field at Kessler Air Force Base, Miss. Buettner is a 1983 graduate of St. John High School. A home-cooked meal highlighted the day when the Womens Fellowship of the Ottawa River Church met in the church social rooms. Marie Myers, Isabel Jameson and Gladys Basinger prepared and served the dinner. Mae Seitz presided during the afternoon program and greeted the members. She led the group in singing, accompanied by Blanche Seitz at the piano. 50 Years Ago 1962 Members of the Good Hope Group of the American Lutheran Church Women of St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church, along with three guests, the Rev. and Mrs. Fred Zangmeister and Lucile Werner, held a carry-in dinner at the parish hall of the church Wednesday.

Small streams have overflowed their banks and the water has flooded bottom lands. The Miami and Erie Canal broke from its banks on the west side in two places Thursday. The breaks occurred south of the Clime Street bridge and at the first lock south of town. Alfred Weisgerber, of the Weisgerber Furniture Store, and Mark F. Beckmann and son, Hubert, of the Jettinghoff and Beckmann Furniture Store, have returned from a Chicago buying trip. They visited displays in both the Chicago furniture mart and the merchandise mart. They report a wonderful show. Officials in charge of the WPA recreation program at Waterworks Park announce several interesting activities which will be held next week for Delphos children. A treasure hunt will be staged on Tuesday afternoon. Rewards will be given to the winner of the hunt. It is also announced that a new game has been played in use at the park. The new feature is called croquet golf and is interesting to all who participate.

BALTIMORE (AP) A doctor who ran against Mitt Romney for Massachusetts governor a decade ago won the chance to challenge him again on Saturday, this time as the Green Partys presidential nominee. Jill Stein, an internist from Lexington, Mass., blasted both Romney and President Barack Obama, saying both had become too dependent on donations from corporations in order to acquire office at the expense of the nations citizens. We need real public servants who listen to the people not to the corporate lobbyists that funnel campaign checks into the big war chests, Stein told applauding supporters at a Holiday Inn in Baltimore. Thats what brought me to the Green Party, the only national party that is not bought and paid for by corporate money. Stein acknowledges that her candidacy is a super long shot. Still, she notes that a growing number of people are expressing frustration with the two major political parties and she cites the Occupy Wall Street movement as an example of that. We are in it to win it, but were also in it to build it, and those are both wins in my book, Stein, 62, said in an interview before her acceptance speech at the convention. Stein won 193.5 delegates, compared to 72 for comedian Roseanne Barr, who did not attend. Stein hopes the party will qualify in at least 40 states, but the total now stands at 21 and does not include state hosting the convention. Stein also notes that the Green Party has qualified for federal matching funds for the first time in its 11-year history.

Green Party nomination goes to Mass. doctor

Memorial Day to pass the legislation. What Republicans would confront next year is far more difficult wrenching cuts to programs popular with voters. A more apt comparison might be the GOPs budget efforts of 1995, when it took the party until November to complete action on its budget plan. Its not that its not doable. It absolutely is doable, said a senior House GOP budget aide . Its just going to take a lot longer than everybody wants it to. And people arent anticipating the pain of each step to get to that point. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to speak on the record. Republicans currently hold 47 Senate seats. If they take control of the Senate, its not likely to be by more than 1 to 4 votes, well short of 60. That would put lots of leverage in the hands of Senate GOP moderates like Susan Collins of Maine and Scott Brown of Massachusetts, should he win his difficult re-election bid. Both Collins and Brown cast votes earlier this year against the House GOP budget plan, authored by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. At the center of Ryans plan was controversial overhaul of Medicare that would transform it into a voucher-like program for those who retire in 10 years.

Documents conflict on when Romney left Bain

By JACK GILLUM and JULIE PACE Associated Press WASHINGTON Documents filed by Mitt Romneys former company conflict with the Republican presidential candidates statements about when he gave up control of the private equity firm Bain Capital. President Barack Obamas campaign seized on the discrepancies Thursday to charge that Romney was lying about his background. Romney, in turn, said Obama was the one being dishonest, rolling out a hard-hitting television ad that accused the president of launching misleading, unfair and untrue attacks about the Republicans role in outsourcing U.S. jobs. When a president doesnt tell the truth, how can we trust him to lead? the narrator says in the Romney ad titled No Evidence. Obama has accused Romney of being an outsourcing pioneer who invested in companies that shipped jobs to China, India and elsewhere overseas. But Romney, who has made his business experience the central part of his candidacy, claims he had no role in outsourcing U.S. jobs because much of that activity didnt happen until after 1999, when he says he had given up operational control at Bain. Both candidates dug in on their positions, dispatching aides to level deeply personal criticisms aimed at casting each opponent as little more than a typical politician. Each candidate is seeking to sully his rivals integrity in hopes of gaining ground in closely contested campaign four months before Election Day. But the strategy carries risks: It could alienate voters especially critical indepen-

dents who are turned off by negative campaigning and want to see the candidates focus on the economy and job growth. At issue is when Romney left Bain, and whether he was at the helm when it sent jobs overseas. The documents, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, place Romney in charge of Bain from 1999 to 2001, a period in which the company outsourced jobs and ran companies that fell into bankruptcy. Romney has tried to distance himself from this period in Bains history, saying on financial disclosure forms he had no active role in Bain as of February 1999. Obama has labeled Romney a job killer in hopes of undercutting the Republicans claim that his private business experience gives him the ability to turn around the struggling economy.

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON Were still a few weeks from summers dog days and the conventions, and already feral rabidity has set in. Add to the long list of psycho-political syndromes the Romney Derangement Syndrome. There is simply no other way to explain what has transpired in the few days since Mitt Romneys speech to the NAACP. If you read a headline or watched the news, most likely youre aware that Romney was booed for saying he would repeal Obamacare. What you may not know is that Romney also left the stage to a standing ovation. Suppose you were an editor, which headline would you prefer: NAACP boos Romney during speech about Obamacare NAACP convention gives Romney a standing O Hmmmmm. In the aftermath, conservative talk shows and bloggers have made haste to clarify the event, but not before several on the other side of the aisle had made some stupendously strange remarks. It is true that Romney was booed at the mention of Obamacare and his intention to repeal the Affordable Care Act as one of several programs that he says are too costly in these dear economic times. Was Romney surprised at the response? Of

course not. The vast majority of African-Americans support the nations first AfricanAmerican president and most are favorably inclined toward his signature health care act. While grudgingly giving Romney credit for showing up, commentators and politicos on the left have joined the birthers in being just plain weird. The narrative du jour is that Romney purposely used the term Obamacare to ensure that he was booed in order to ... incite his racist white base. Exacto-rama, Robin! How could I have missed this brilliant maneuver!? Among those advancing this, ahem, theory is Nancy Pelosi, who said it was a calculated move. MSNBCs Lawrence ODonnell said Romney was making a play for white racists. Over at The Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky called Romney a race-mongering pyromaniac, and wrote: You dont go into the NAACP and use the word Obamacare and think that youre not going to hear some boos. Its a heavily loaded word, and Romney and his people know very well that liberals and the presidents supporters consider it an insult. ... Romney and team obviously concluded that a little shower of boos was perfectly fine because the story Romney Booed at NAACP would jazz up their (very

white) base. Yes, I see. Thats a very astute analysis, Mr. Tomasky. Now just keep your eyes closed and try to relax. When I snap my fingers, youll wake up and remember nothing. Youll just feel calm and optimistic about the future. The notion that Team Romney wanted to jazz up all those very white racists requires a level of delusion that one usually associates with the fringies. Does anyone really imagine that Romney is worried about the racist vote? While were hearing voices, lets eavesdrop on a Very Secret Meeting: Mitt, you know, theres one demographic were worried about. Whats that, Stu? Well, sir, the Aryan Nation. Their votes? Hanging from the precipice, sir. We have to reel them in. Holy moly, Stu, but how? I have a plan. When you speak to the NAACP next week, were gonna have you say Obamacare. Youll get booed, of course, but no Aryan will vote for Barack Obama, I can promise you

that, sir. Jumpin Jehosaphat, Stu, thats sheer genius! But wont the liberal media figure it out? Wont they see our plan? With all due respect, sir, dont be ridiculous. Is anyone tethered to Earth anymore? Romney said he would repeal Obamacare because he always says this. What would the word parsers have said if he had adjusted his message to be more palatable to a crowd from which no one expected more than basic civility? They would have said he was a deceiver, a shape-shifter, a manipulator and a dishonest broker. As for the term Obamacare, this is widely used, including by columnists who are strictly limited by word count. Ill never use four unwieldy words that most people dont recognize, such as The Affordable Care Act, for one word that everybody understands: Obamacare. It has a ring to it that means nothing beyond what it is short, memorable and to the point, sort of like Romneycare, which Democrats use frequently. What sort of dogs are they whistling to, one wonders? Trying to stoke the rage of all those very black or very Latino Mormon haters? Ridiculous.

Brees passes physical, signs $100M, 5-year deal

By BRETT MARTEL The Associated Press METAIRIE, La. Drew Brees took some time out of his Sunday to sign autographs on items ranging from a black jersey handed to him by a fan to a $100 million contract handed to him by the New Orleans Saints. The star quarterback, who had agreed verbally to his historic deal Friday, visited team headquarters to take a physical and put pen to paper on the 5-year contract that gives him the highest average annual pay ($20 million) in NFL history. Brees then grabbed a sandwich to go at a Jimmy Johns sandwich shop he owns, where he posed for photos, shook hands and signed autographs for star-struck fans before hopping in a white sport utility vehicle and heading for the airport. Looking satisfied and relaxed in a black T-shirt with (hash)NOLALOVE printed across the front, the clean-cut Brees said he was eager to rejoin his teammates after a protracted contract holdout that ran parallel to a bounty scandal that has swirled around the Saints since March. Its been a little surreal just because of the process throughout the offseason and just how challenging an offseason its been for everyone, obviously everyone within the Saints organization, this city, Brees said. Its just been a crazy offseason and I think were all just ready to get back to work and excited that its all starting here in a week. Its hard to believe. Brees, his currently pregnant wife, Brittany, and their two young boys spend parts of offseasons in southern California. Brees will be back in New Orleans again soon, though, as the Saints report for training camp July 24. A year ago, Brees was organizing and running a volnator Steve Spagnuolo. I just look forward to getting back to work, Brees continued. It does feel like its been a while since Ive been out there with my guys and we were running our offense. Camp, for me, especially now with Spagnuolo and a new defensive scheme, thats fun for me because just as a competitor, you go through about a 4-week period where youre competing against your own defense and theyre scheming you up and youre scheming them up. Brees added. I missed the guys; I missed the competition. Im just excited to get back to work. In 2011, Brees set NFL single-season records with 468 completions, 5,476 yards passing and a 71.2 completion percentage. His prolific passing numbers helped the Saints set an NFL high for total offensive yards in a season with 7,474. Brees yards passing record shattered a mark of 5,084 set by Dan Marino back in 1984. Brees also has been highly active in the community through his Brees Dream foundation, which has sponsored more than $8 million in projects primarily aimed at improving schools and athletic facilities for children, along with supporting the arts and cancer patients. For all of those reasons, fans like Gerald Hebert, 40, of Slidell, were delighted to share a moment with Brees in the parking lot outside his sandwich shop.
Raiders, Tyvon Branch agree to new 4-year deal OAKLAND, Calif. Tyvon Branch received the long-term deal he wanted and the Oakland Raiders got some financial flexibility in the process. The Raiders agreed to a 4-year contract with the safety on Saturday night, completing the deal two days before the deadline for franchise tagged players to reach an agreement on a new contract. CBS Sports reported the contract is worth $26.6 million with $17.1 million guaranteed. The Associated Press left a message with Branchs

untary minicamp at Tulane during the NFL lockout. This offseason, he missed all of the voluntary practices and mandatory minicamp while his agent, Tom Condon, and Saints general manager Mickey Loomis worked on a new long-term contract that gave Brees a payday on par with his record-setting performances on the field. Brees said he had been training hard on his own in California and had maintained close contact by phone with teammates and assistant head coach Joe Vitt throughout the offseason. Vitt is handling most big-picture head coaching duties in the absence of Sean Payton, who has been suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in connection with the bounty investigation. I talked to coach Vitt all the time. I talked to (backup quarterback) Chase (Daniel) quite a bit, Brees said. For me, I certainly wanted to keep up on my team and my teammates and make sure everybody was doing OK. Guys were texting me all the time, so I was in constant communication with many guys on the team. Brees also expressed confidence that, after six years in the same offensive system, he was absolutely ready to pick up in training camp where he left off last season, despite the offseason work he missed with the club. He added that he was eager to test his skills in camp against the scheme being installed by new Saints defensive coordi-

agent seeking comment. Branch had signed his $6.2 million franchise tender May 7 and reported to offseason workouts. The sides had until today to agree to a new deal. Getting Branch signed was important for the Raiders, who are counting on him to be one of the leaders under a new defense run by coach Dennis Allen and coordinator Jason Tarver. The Raiders report to training camp in Napa on July 29; now nothing will be holding Branch back from being in wine country. Branch, a fourth-round pick in 2008, has started every game the past three seasons and led the Raiders in tackles the past two years. He also had 78 solo tackles, one sack, one interception, four passes defensed and one fumble recovery last season. Branchs 327 total tackles over the past three seasons are the secondmost of any NFL defensive back, trailing only Indianapolis Antoine Bethea, who has 340. Branch also was much improved in pass coverage, cutting his completion percentage against from 67.4 percent in 2010 to 55.7 percent last season, according to STATS LLC, with the Raiders often using him as a cornerback in nickel packages. Branch and free safety Michael Huff will anchor an overhauled secondary in Oakland this year. After years of running a defense based on aggressive man coverage under late owner Al Davis, the Raiders are expected to use more blitzes and zone coverages this season. The team let go of last seasons starting cornerbacks, Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson, and signed free agents Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer. Broncos Dumervil charged with aggravated assault MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm in Florida. Court records show the 28-yearold is facing the third-degree felony charge in Miami-Dade County. Det. Vivian Hernandez said Dumervil and another man were arrested Saturday in Miami Beach but that no further details were immediately available. A spokesman for the Denver Broncos said that the team is aware of the matter and continuing to gather facts. Dumervil is a Miami native and one of the Broncos top defensive players. Dumvervil led the NFL in sacks in 2009 with a club-record 17. But he missed all of 2010 with a torn pectoral muscle and was hampered last season by a nagging shoulder injury, followed by an ankle ailment. Still, he finished the year with 9 1/2 sacks and 42 tackles and made the Pro Bowl team. Dumervils attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said he expects authorities to clear his client after they conclude their investigation.

The Associated Press LAKE ORION, Mich. Roger Chapman shot a 4-under 66 on Sunday to win the U.S. Senior Open by two strokes at 10 under at Indianwood. He won the Senior PGA Championship by the same margin two months ago on the other side of Michigan. The self-described former European Tour journeyman, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Hale Irwin and Irwin are the only players to win the U.S. Senior Open and Senior PGA Championship in the same year. Before this year, his career highlight was a European Tour win in Brazil in 2000. Bernhard Langer (72), Fred Funk (67), Tom Lehman (68) and Corey Pavin (68) finished tied for second at 8-under 272 at the Champions Tours fourth of five majors. Pavins 2-stroke penalty after his first round for hitting a ball that moved a fraction of an inch proved to be costly. Langer took a 4-shot lead into the final round and closed with a shaky performance that spoiled his shot at winning his second U.S. Senior Open. SILVIS, Ill. Zach Johnson won the John Deere Classic on Sunday with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. His 193-yard 6-iron approach from the bunker left of the 18th fairway ran up to less than a foot from the cup for an easy birdie, enabling him to knock off Troy Matteson, whose approach landed 43 feet from the pin. The kick-in birdie had seemed unlikely minutes earlier after Johnson followed Matteson into the water from the same bunker on the first playoff hole. Each settled for double-bogey 6, then went back to the 18th tee for another try. Johnsons bunkered his tee shot again but this time, he played one of the better shots of a career that includes a 2007 Masters victory and eight other PGA Tour titles. When Matteson was unable to sink his long birdie putt, Johnson tapped in to secure his second victory of the year, adding to the title he won at Colonial Country Club. INVERNESS, Scotland Jeev Milkha Singh beat Francesco Molinari in a playoff Sunday to win the Scottish Open and secure a late berth in next weeks British Open. A final-round meltdown by local hope Marc Warren left Singh and Molinari tied at 17-under 271. The 40-year-old Indian won by draining a 15-foot putt for birdie on No. 18. Singh, the son of an Olympic 400meter runner, shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 to tie for the lowest round of the day. Warren and overnight leader Molinari (72) dropped shots down a tough closing stretch into the wind. Warren, playing in the second-tolast group and also seeking that one remaining berth in the British Open, led by three shots with six holes remaining. But he faltered under pressure and dropped four strokes in the final four

holes. He finished tied for third with Alexander Noren of Sweden (70) at 16 under. A fierce westerly wind and heavy rain at times proved too much for top-ranked Luke Donald (73) and Phil Mickelson (74), who both finished tied for 16th at 12 under. AUTO RACING LOUDON, N.H. Kasey Kahne got his second Sprint Cup win of the season. Denny Hamlin and his crew chief had trouble communicating. Kahne took the lead from Hamlin during a restart on the 240th lap of the 300-lap race at the 1-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. The winner was helped by miscommunication between Hamlin, who wanted two tires changed, and crew chief Darian Grubb, who thought he wanted four. That longer pit stop left Hamlin all the way back in 13th place but he kept passing cars until only Kahne remained in front. Kahne stayed ahead and won by about 10 car lengths. It was Kahnes 14th win of his career and first since May 27 at Charlotte. Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top five. The win enhances Kahnes chances of qualifying for the Chase, the last 10 races of the season in which the top 10 drivers in the point standings win automatic berths. Two additional spots go to the drivers with the most wins who are ranked 11th to 20th in points. Kahne began the day in 16th place but his two wins are more than anyone in the second group of 10. Kyle Busch, the pole-sitter, led the first 66 laps before his own costly pit stop. It took longer than usual as his crew had a problem with the right tire. Then there was more trouble a drive-through penalty against Busch for entering pit road too fast. When he finally returned to the track, he was all the way back in 22nd place. Busch finished 24th. Buschs teammate, Hamlin, took over the lead from Busch after that problem. Sprint Cup points leader Matt Kenseth finished 13th and has won just once this year in the season-opening Daytona 500 in February. Sam Hornish Jr., replacing the suspended AJ Allmendinger, came in 22nd. Allmendinger was suspended about 90 minutes before the race at Daytona International Speedway last weekend after a urine sample taken the previous weekend at Kentucky Speedway came back positive for what his team identified only as a stimulant. His B sample is to be tested, probably this week, with his toxicologist present. PRO BASKETBALL Jason Kidd mentoring Jeremy Lin was a nice story last week. Then Kidd was arrested on a drunken-driving charge, Lins departure from New York for a ridiculous contract in Houston became more realistic and a position of strength suddenly was one of turbulence for the Knicks.

The Associated Press NL MIAMI Stephen Strasburg pitched six scoreless innings and drove in a run for the Washington Nationals in a 4-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Strasburg (10-4) allowed six hits and struck out seven. Nationals reliever Tyler Clippard loaded the bases in the ninth with no outs but retired the next three batters. Steve Lombardozzi, Michael Morse and Danny Espinosa also drove in a run for the Nationals. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco (8-7) did not allow a hit until the fifth inning when Morse led off with a single to left. Strasburg and Lombardozzi followed with 2-out RBI singles. REDS 4, CARDINALS 2 CINCINNATI Scott Rolen hit a tie-breaking 2-run single in the eighth inning, sending Cincinnati to a victory and 3-game sweep of St. Louis. The Reds sixth straight win matched their best surge of the season, moved them a season-high 12 games over .500 and jumped them a game ahead of Pittsburgh for the NL Central lead. St. Louis fell 4 1/2 games back. Rolens 2-out single off Mitchell Boggs snapped a 2-all tie and provided a satisfying moment for the 37-year-old third baseman, limited by a bad shoulder and back. Jake Westbrook (7-8) set up the rally with a walk, a wild pitch and a hit batter. Homer Bailey (8-6) went eight innings during a fill-in start for Johnny Cueto, sidelined by a blister. BRAVES 6, METS 1 ATLANTA Ben Sheets pitched six scoreless innings in his first game in two years and Atlanta beat New York for its season-high seventh straight victory. Freddie Freeman hit a 3-run homer in a 6-run fifth inning and Sheets (1-0) allowed two hits and one walk with five strikeouts in his first start since July 19, 2010. Johan Santana (6-6) gave up eight hits, six runs, two walks and struck out three in five innings. BREWERS 4, PIRATES 1 MILWAUKEE Yovani Gallardo struck out a career-high 14 in seven innings and Milwaukee used a 4-run sixth to beat Pittsburgh. Gallardo (8-6) gave up four hits, including Andrew McCutchens homer in the fourth, his 21st. John Axford pitched the ninth for his 16th save. A.J. Burnett (10-3) had his career-high nine-game winning streak ended. CUBS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 1 CHICAGO Darwin Barney homered and Matt Garza threw seven shutout innings to lift Chicago to a 3-game sweep of Arizona. Barney sent a Trevor Cahill pitch into the left-field bleachers for a

MLB Roundup

2-run homer in the second inning to help Chicago match a season high with its fourth straight win. Garza (5-7) held Arizona to five hits and one walk, striking out seven en route to his first win in July. Carlos Marmol got the last two outs for his 10th save. He allowed a pair of base runners but struck out Geoff Blum and got Gerardo Parra on a comebacker to end it. Cahill (7-8) allowed three runs and four hits over 5 1/3 innings. Aaron Hill hit his 12th homer in the eighth for Arizona. PHILLIES 5, ROCKIES 1 DENVER Cole Hamels pitched eight innings of 1-run ball, Hunter Pence hit a 3-run homer and Philadelphia beat Colorado for its first series victory in nearly a month. Hamels (11-4), making his 100th career road start, allowed six hits and had seven strikeouts in his first win in three career outings at Coors Field. Antonio Bastardo finished up with a 1-2-3 ninth. Drew Pomeranz (1-4) went five innings and allowed five runs on five hits in taking the loss. He struck out five and walked two. GIANTS 3, ASTROS 2 SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey had three hits and two RBIs to back Matt Cain and San Francisco finished a 3-game series sweep. Cain (10-3) gave up two runs, one earned, and five hits in 6 1/3 innings in his first start against Houston since he threw a perfect game against the Astros on June 13. Santiago Casilla retired two batters for his 23rd save. The Giants won despite being without their best hitter. Melky Cabrera took a temporary leave to attend the birth of his child in Florida. Marwin Gonzalez had two hits and scored Houstons only run. Houstons Bud Norris (5-7) walked six in six innings and allowed three runs and five hits. PADRES 7, DODGERS 2 LOS ANGELES Chase Headley homered for the second straight game and San Diego scored six unearned runs. Cameron Maybin and Everth Cabrera scored the tying and goahead runs on third baseman Jerry Hairston Jr.s second throwing error of the seventh inning. Jason Marquis (2-5) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings for San Diego. Los Angeles left-hander Chris Capuano (9-5) was charged with four runs all of them unearned and

five hits in 7 2/3 innings after his infield committed four errors behind him, all on poor throws. AL NEW YORK Kevin Jepsen got Alex Rodriguez to pop out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels took advantage of New Yorks base-running follies to beat the Yankees 10-8 Sunday. With seemingly no lead safe recently at Yankee Stadium, Mark Teixeira hit a 2-run homer off Ernesto Frieri to make it 10-7 in the ninth. After a walk to Nick Swisher, Scott Downs relieved with a 1-0 count to Raul Ibanez. Ibanez knocked the glove off Downs and reached for an infield single. Andruw Jones struck out, Russell Martin had a fielders choice and Derek Jeter walked to load the bases. Downs then walked Curtis Granderson to make it 10-8 before Jepsen came on and retired Rodriguez for his first save since 2009, helping the Angels avoid their first 3-game sweep in New York since 1995. Albert Pujols and Erick Aybar hit consecutive home runs off Ivan Nova (10-4) in the first inning for Los Angeles. The American League rivals combined for eight homers on an ideal day for the long ball. Jered Weaver (11-1) pitched seven innings to get the win. TIGERS 4, ORIOLES 0 BALTIMORE Justin Verlander returned to form after his uncharacteristic start in the All-Star game, allowing three hits in eight innings to carry Detroit to the win. Verlander (10-5) struck out eight and walked two in his first appearance since yielding five runs in one inning for the AL in an 8-0 loss Tuesday night. The reigning Cy Young Award winner retired 16 of the last 17 batters he faced before leaving after 117 pitches. Jose Valverde worked the ninth to complete the 4-hitter. Austin Jackson and Miguel Cabrera homered for the Tigers. Baltimores Miguel Gonzalez (1-1) gave up three runs, six hits and five walks over 5 2/3 innings. RED SOX 7, RAYS 3 ST. PETERBURG, Fla. Josh Beckett pitched six effective innings and Will Middlebrooks had a key 2-run single to lead Boston to the victory. Beckett (5-7) allowed three runs all in the first and eight hits. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two. Boston closer Alfredo Aceves, in a non-save situation, loaded the bases on three walks in the ninth but retired Hideki Matsui on a high fly to right to end it. Boston went ahead 6-3 in the fifth when Daniel Nava homered and Middlebrooks singled in a pair of runs against James Shields (8-6), who has allowed double-digit hits in four consecutive starts.

Shields lasted just five innings, giving up six runs and 11 hits. WHITE SOX 2, ROYALS 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Chris Sale scattered a season-high 10 hits over eight innings and Adam Dunn homered for the third consecutive game, pushing the White Sox to the win. Sale (11-2) allowed one run, struck out four and walked none, improving to 8-0 with a 1.61 ERA in 10 starts since his last loss on May 12 against Kansas City. The All-Star left-hander lowered his season ERA to 2.11, second in the American League. Addison Reed worked a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 16 opportunities. Dunn, who leads the league with 28 home runs, drilled a 2-0 pitch from Luis Mendoza (3-6) just inside the right-field pole for a solo shot in the first inning. Alex Rios scored when Alexei Ramirez grounded into a double play in the second. Chris Getz had an RBI single for Kansas City. ATHLETICS 9, TWINS 4 MINNEAPOLIS Yoenis Cespedes had his first career 4-hit game, including a homer and three RBIs, and Oakland completed a 3-game series sweep. Jonny Gomes, Chris Carter and Seth Smith also homered for the As. Jarrod Parker (6-4) gave up four runs and nine hits in six innings. Brian Duensing (1-6) gave the Twins another dreadful start, lasting just two innings and getting tagged for six runs and seven hits. Gomes finished with three hits and two RBIs. RANGERS 4, MARINERS 0 SEATTLE Matt Harrison tossed a 5-hitter, Adrian Beltre had three hits and two RBIs and the Rangers won for the fourth time in five games spanning the All-Star break. Harrisons 12th win kept him even with Tampa Bays David Price for the most in the American League and continued his streak against the Mariners. Harrison (12-4) has won eight straight starts against Seattle and is 5-0 at Safeco Field. He threw 114 pitches and allowed just four singles and Brendan Ryans 2-out double in the fifth inning. Ian Kinsler hit his 10th homer of the season on the first pitch of the fifth inning by Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma (1-2). BLUE JAYS 3, INDIANS 0 TORONTO Carlos Villanueva struck out a career-best eight in six innings and Jose Bautista had two hits for Toronto. Making his third start of the season after working in relief for much of the year, Villanueva (4-0) allowed three hits and walked five for the Blue Jays. Jason Frasor worked the seventh and Darren Oliver pitched the final two innings for his first save as the Blue Jays wrapped up their seventh shutout of the season.

While Batman lurks, Ice Age tops box office

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press NEW YORK With Batman lurking, the prehistoric critters of Ice Age: Continental Drift ran off with the box office, earning $46 million in their opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The animated film from 20th Century Fox is the fourth in the Ice Age series and the first in 3-D. The North America performance of Continental Drift was on par with previous Ice Age movies but well below the opening weekend of the second installment, The Meltdown, which opened with $68 million in 2006. There has now been a decade of Ice Age films, allowing the characters voiced by Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and John Leguizamo to become increasingly familiar to audiences, particularly international ones. The film had already done robust overseas business ahead of opening in the U.S. This weekend it earned $95 million internationally, bringing its overseas total to $339 million. Scrat rules the world, said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox, referring to the films rat-squirrel mascot, whose wordless, futile pursuit of a nut is a mainstay of the movies. The Ice Age franchise has now surpassed $2.2 billion worldwide, and the studio expects Continental Drift to equal the global total of the last installment, 2009s Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which took in $886.7 million. Theres really not very many animated franchises that have had three sequels, said Aronson. The performance of Ice Age has been remarkably consistent. The weekend was inevitably shadowed by two superheroes, coming a week after

PARIS (AP) Frances far-right National Front said Sunday that it plans to sue Madonna after the singer showed a video at a Paris concert that contained an image of the partys leader with a swastika on her forehead. The video has been shown at other concerts on the singers tour, and the party has expressed its outrage before, warning that it would take action if the video were shown in France. On Saturday night, Madonna played it at the Stade de France. National Front spokesman Alain Vizier said Sunday that the party would file a complaint in French court next week for insults. Party leader Marine Le Pen is briefly pictured in the video during a montage in which famous faces or parts of faces morph one into the next. Soon after Le Pens face flashes up, Madonnas face follows with Hitlers mustache. Le Pen, who inherited

French party to sue Madonna over swastika image

control of the party from her father, Jean-Marie, has tried to shed the National Fronts image as racist and anti-Semitic, especially during her recent failed bid for president. But she has maintained a hard line on immigrants, saying France has too many and criticizing many Muslims, in particular, for insufficiently assimilating into French culture. Meanwhile, anti-racism group SOS Racisme expressed its support for Madonna on Sunday, commending her for her resolutely anti-racist and feminist discourse.

the debut of Sonys SpiderMan reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man, and one week before the highly-anticipated Batman sequel, The Dark Knight Rises. In its second week of release, Spider-Man earned $35 million, pushing it past $200 million domestically. It earned nearly $67 million overseas over the weekend, bringing its worldwide gross to $521.4 million. Seth MacFarlanes R-rated comedy hit, Ted, which stars Mark Wahlberg and a talking teddy bear, added $22.1 million in its third week for a total of $159 million for Universal Pictures. But the weekend belonged to family films, which had three of the top 10 films at the box office. Ice Age is the third animated blockbuster to debut at No. 1 this summer, and the previous mega-cartoons Pixar Animations Brave and DreamWorks Animations Madagascar 3: Europes Most Wanted also padded their totals. In fourth place, Brave added $10.7 million to its $195.6 million domestic total, and the 10th place Madagascar 3 added $3.5 million to its $203.7 million domestic total. This shows how incredibly important the family audience is, particularly in the summer when families are looking for entertainment thats appropriate for the kids and the parents as well, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Youve got three family films that all performed incredibly well and each weekend topped the box office. The weekend business was, as expected, below the corresponding weekend last year, when the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, set what was then a box office record of $169.2 million.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2012 If the goals you set for yourself in the year ahead prove to be unfeasible and need to be altered or changed in any way, dont hesitate to do so. Just be sure that your objectives are realistic. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be careful about inviting others to drop in anytime unless you really mean it. Someone could take you up on your invitation and interrupt you at a most inappropriate moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Recommending to others an idea or suggestion that youve never tested could land you in a whole lot of trouble. It might look good on paper, but fail miserably in practice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Avoid taking a gamble on something that could affect not only your resources but also those of others. Even if Lady Luck has been hanging out on your doorstep lately, she might be elsewhere today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It might be flattering to you when a member of the opposite gender comes on to you, but if its inappropriate in any way, it will spell big trouble if you respond in kind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Relying on wit and charm to get you by may work up to a point, but if the going gets tough you could quickly lose all your steam. Make sure to have a solid foundation undergirding your flourishes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Base your hopes and expectations on solid bedrock and not on loose, shifting sand. Your desires will be dashed if there is nothing substantial holding them in place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because your behavior and motives are likely to be closely scrutinized by anybody and everybody, dont do anything foolish that would be detrimental to your image. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its an enviable quality, your innate wisdom, but you might step out of character and reward someone you shouldnt while ignoring the deserving. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You might be offered a proposition that appears nifty on the surface but has hidden strings attached. Dont be reluctant to ask whatever pertinent questions you think necessary. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do not let a close colleague make a decision about a shared concern without discussing things with you first. This persons choice might benefit him or her but not you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try not to overextend yourself by taking on an assignment of anothers in addition your own, no matter how much the other person needs help. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It would be best not to request a favor from someone you just met, no matter how much trouble youre in. Go to an old friend for whom youve done much in the past -- he or she owes you a favor. WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2012 The year ahead is likely to be an extremely active one, especially at those times when youre putting forth far more effort and energy than usual in order to satisfy some kind of inner need. By working hard, youll obtain your desires. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre not careful, a domestic confrontation over a minor infraction could overwhelm the household. Even though the issue is petty, it could generate major trouble. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although normally youre pretty good about keeping your temper in check, if youre not careful you could spontaneously overreact should your views or opinions be challenged. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Hanging around with friends who are notoriously extravagant or reckless with their funds opens up the possibility of you following their lead. Be your own person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre at odds with your mate over something trivial, make sure you resolve it before going out with friends. You wont want it to rear its ugly head when youre trying to have a good time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Be exceptionally careful if you have to work with tools or materials with which youre unfamiliar. You might have to keep a close eye on a helper who could be inexperienced, as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When out with friends, be on your best behavior if you find someone in the group to be brash or rude. If you respond in kind, itll make you look bad, not him or her. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before establishing a big objective, be sure its truly worthy of the trouble it might take to achieve it and not something that you wont appreciate once you get it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your manner of expression could make a much stronger impression than you are likely to intend. Thus, be sure that what you say enhances your image, not damages it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Being a bit of a risk taker, you could easily jump into something that is financially way over your head. Be particularly wary of anything that seems too good to be true. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Think twice before pulling the rug out from under a direct competitor. The consequences of your actions could take you down along with him or her. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Instead of vowing to eventually correct a mistake you made, take action the moment you realize your gaffe. The longer you wait, the worse itll get. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Theres a chance you could get caught up in a situation in which the position you want to take opposes the will of the majority. Dont try to fight city hall on your own.

Americans turning to YouTube for news

By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK A new study has found that YouTube is emerging as a major platform for news, one to which viewers increasingly turn for eyewitness videos in times of major events and natural disasters. The Pew Research Centers Project for Excellence in Journalism today released its examination of 15 months of the most popular news videos on the Google Inc.-owned site. It found that while viewership for TV news still easily outpaces those consuming news on YouTube, the video-sharing site is a growing digital environment where professional journalism mingles with citizen content. Theres a new form of video journalism on this platform, said Amy Mitchell, By A DRIAN SAINZ and HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press deputy director of the Pew Research Centers Project for Excellence in Journalism. Its a form in which the relationship between news organizations and citizens is more dynamic and more multiverse than weve seen in most other platforms before. More than a third of the most-watched videos came from citizens. Than more half came from news organizations, but footage in those videos sometimes incorporated footage shot by YouTube users. The Japanese earthquake and tsunami was the most-viewed news event during the length of the study, which spanned January 2011 to March 2012. The top videos from Japan included footage from surveillance cameras, a news network and a Japanese Coast Guard vessel a typical variety of sources. Such dramatic events were often among the most watched videos. Other popular news events included the Russian elections, unrest in the Middle East, the collapse of a fair stage in Indiana and the crash of an Italian cruise ship. One of the things that emerges here is the power of bearing witness as a part of a news consumption process, said Mitchell. Many of the most viewed stories that were looking at here have real powerful imagery around them. The results depicted both reasons for concern and encouragement for traditional news outlets. While citizen journalism accounts for a large slice of viewership on YouTube, its users are also eager distributers of professional news video. The study shows YouTube as a global news arena where professional and amateur video bleed together, and is made

A year after floods, Mississippi River now low

There isnt much man can do to deal with the exceptionally low river, which at Memphis, is just about 6 feet above the record low. Pray for rain, said Tommy Hart, director of the port in Greenville, Miss. Im not a big fan of rain, but this time I am. Aside from that, the best coping mechanism is careful navigation. With the river this low, the channels are shallower and narrower, presenting problems for barges loaded with coal, grain, iron, steel, sand, gravel and more. They must reduce their loads to avoid bottoming out and take extra care not to collide when passing another string of barges in the thinner channel. Also, low water at docks and terminals makes it more difficult to load or unload material, as ships have trouble getting close enough to docks. Companies must get permits from the Army Corps to dredge near their docks to find deeper places to load and unload. The National Weather Service said the Mississippi River gauge in Memphis was at minus-4.8 feet on Friday, but theres no need to panic. The minus reading does not mean the river is dried

MEMPHIS, Tenn. A year after the Mississippi River swelled to near-historic proportions and flooded farms and homes from Illinois to Louisiana, the level along the waterways southern half is so low that cargo barges have run aground and their operators have been forced to lighten their loads. Wide, sandy strips of shoreline usually invisible even in the low season are now exposed, shrinking the rivers width and affecting the way tow captains navigate. Such is life along the nations main inland waterway, where millions of tons of goods are shipped every year, some of which end up as exports departing from south Louisiana ports. Those who make their living along the Mississippi learn to adapt to the rivers fickle nature. Its remarkable, but its completely normal, said Jim Pogue, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis. You get a low river, you get a high river, but its completely normal.

up its just a measurement based on how the river gauge is designed. Essentially, the reading means the river level is far below normal. That low level stands in contrast to the flood of 2011, which saw the Mississippi fall about a foot short of the record crest of 48.7 feet set in 1937. The National Weather Service has set the official crest of last years flood at 48.03 feet on the Memphis gauge. Its basically just the opposite of last year, Pogue said. One reason for the difference is a lack of rainfall in the Ohio River valley and the north Mississippi River basin, said Ryan Husted, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Memphis. Sections of Tennessee and regions to the north are experiencing drought conditions. Most areas in the Mid-South are 10 inches or more below normal for rainfall for the year, the weather service said. Lower-than-normal snowfall levels over the northern plains this winter are also an issue, Husted said. Less snow means less water from melted snow making its way into the Mississippi and the rivers that feed it.

American pastor abducted in Egypt

By BIZUAYEHU TESFAYE and AYA BATRAWY Associated Press BOSTON While family and church members prayed Sunday for the Boston Pentecostal pastor kidnapped with two others in Egypt, their abductor said he has had conversations with intelligence officials about their release. Jirmy Abu-Mashu told The Associated Press he kidnapped the Rev. Michel Louis and two others off a bus on a road between Cairo and Mount Sinai on Friday, and is demanding police release his uncle from prison. He said his uncle was jailed after refusing to pay a bribe to police. He said two intelligence officials came to his home Saturday to negotiate the captives release. During that meeting, he said, he relocated the pastor and the two other captives a 39-year-old Boston woman who was traveling with the same church group and a tour guide. He said he returned the three to his home when the officials left. The 61-year-old pastor, who is diabetic,

consumable in on-demand style. That kind of atmosphere also makes for issues of authenticity. Though YouTube has guidelines for news video, they arent always followed and some videos go viral despite uncertain sources. This is a young platform and therere certainly aspects of this interplay and the way information is going to flow thats still being worked out, said Mitchell. A relatively nascent new organization, Russia Today, a network founded in 2005 and backed by the Russian government that often reports rumor, had easily the most videos among the most-viewed. The second most-viewed news organization among the top videos was Fox News, although the study pointed out that more than half of those videos were posted in criticism of the network.

left his medicine on the bus and security officials will have to help with getting it, AbuMashu said. He said Michel was tired and was sleeping a lot. He would not allow the AP to talk with the Americans. Abu-Mashu also said that his imprisoned uncle is diabetic and claimed his relative was not getting the medical assistance he needs. Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton brought up the case of the two kidnapped Americans when she met with her Egyptian counterpart in Cairo on Saturday. Louis son said Sunday his father had natural medicine to treat his diabetes when he was taken, but he had no other information about his condition. The Rev. Jean Louis said he does not know if or when his father may be released, and he is concerned about his safety and health. He spoke to reporters after a church service in Bostons Dorchester neighborhood to pray for the captives. He said his father was on a church trip with 23 other members of the clergy and worshippers when he was abducted.

Microsoft, NBC dissolve MSNBC.com joint venture

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer SAN FRANCISCO Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the worlds largest software maker to build its own online news service. The breakup announced late Sunday dissolves the final shreds of a 16-year marriage between Microsoft Corp. and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast Corp. The relationship began to unwind in 2005 when Microsoft sold its stake in MSNBCs cable TV channel to NBC. NBC is buying Microsofts 50 percent interest in the MSNBC website for an undisclosed amount. MSNBC. com will be rebranded as NBCNews.com, and readers who logged into MSNBC. com late Sunday were automatically redirected to NBCNews.com. The website will move its headquarters from Microsofts corporate campus in Redmond, Wash., to NBC News longtime home in New York. The online divorce stemmed from the two partners desire to gain greater control over their digital destinies as the Internet becomes an increasingly important part of their businesses. The inherent constraints of being locked into a joint venture sometimes handcuffed Microsoft and NBC. Microsoft, in particular, had grown frustrated by contract terms requiring it to exclusively feature MSNBC. com content on its own websites. That exasperation was exacerbated by the MSNBC cable channels strategy to counter Fox News Channels appeal to conservative viewers by tailoring its programming for an audience with a liberal viewpoint. The strategy fed a perception that material from MSNBCs website was politically slanted, too. NBC News believes it will be able to attract more traffic to its stable of websites by forging other partnerships that were off limits when it was tied to Microsoft. There is no question that we are going to have more flexibility to make our own decisions, said Vivian Schiller, NBC News chief digital officer. This is really an amicable breakup. We think competition will make us better. MSNBC.com and its affiliated sites ranked as the Internets fourth most popular site for general news in the U.S., with nearly 50 million visitors in June, up 5 percent from last year, according to the research firm comScore Inc. As part of its online restructuring, NBC News plans to create a new online destination for the MSNBC cable channels personalities next year.

Answers to Saturdays questions: Hard-throwing major league pitcher Curt Schilling, in 1995, named his firstborn son Gehrig after baseball great Lou Gehrig. Later that year, Schilling received the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, given to players who display character and integrity both on and off the field. The Tommy gun was invented by and named for retired World War I Brigadier General John Taliaferro Thompson. More formally known as the Thompson submachine

gun, it was the first handheld machine gun. Todays questions: In what military conflict did a woman lead U.S. troops into combat for the first time?

Man of Steel flies into Comic-Con with footage

By SANDY COHEN The Associated Press SAN DIEGO There are lots of people dressed like Superman at ComicCon, but the real guy or at least the actor playing him in the latest Superman film made a surprise appearance at the fan festival. Man of Steel director Zack Snyder presented new footage from the film on Saturday and introduced star Henry Cavill to an audience of more than 6,000 fans. The British actor said its a dream come true to play the iconic superhero, but confessed it is pretty intense. The footage showed Clark Kent as a boy and Cavill in his super suit, along with glimpses of co-stars Amy Adams and Russell Crowe. Snyder said the film will make Superman more relatable than previous depictions that showed him as a big blue Boy Scout up on the throne and you cant really touch him. The big challenge, of course, is if you can make people feel, What would you do it you were Superman? How would you feel? Snyder said. How to make it personal, I think thats the thing we went after. Snyder also hinted but coyly refused to confirm that General Zod might be the villain in the film, due in theaters next summer. The trailer for Man of Steel is set to play ahead of The Dark Knight Rises, Snyder said. Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan served as a producer on Man of

Steel. But Snyder said it would be no contest if the two superheroes were ever to battle. The director of 300 and Watchmen called Superman the king daddy of all superheroes. I love Batman, Snyder said. He is awesome like, literally awesome but, really?
