bill into law
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on
Friday signed into law a $600 million measure that will put
more agents and equipment along the Mexican border.
Obama signed the bill in the Oval Office alongside
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. It will pay for
the hiring of 1,000 new Border Patrol agents to be deployed

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans spent less at most retail
stores in July and inflation remained tame as high unemploy-
ment and weak job growth fueled fears of a slowing economic
recovery.
A busy month for car dealerships and higher gas prices
lifted overall retail sales 0.4 percent last month, the Commerce
Department said Friday. It was the first overall gain in three
months.
Still, most retailers reported declines. Excluding autos and
gasoline sales — which accounted for one-fourth of the July

and Customs Enforcement agents. It also provides for new
communications equipment and greater use of unmanned
surveillance drones.
Some Republicans, including Arizona Sen. John McCain,
say that while the legislation is a start, it falls short by not dra-
matically increasing the number of customs inspectors along
the border and not funding a program that charges illegal
immigrants with low-level crimes.
Arizona has been at the epicenter of the border security
debate because of its new law directing law enforcement offi-
cers to be more aggressive in seeking out illegal immigrants.
Although a federal judge has since struck down some of the
law’s major provisions, it remains a rallying cry for those who
say Washington has lost control of the border.
figures — retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month. Sales were
down 1 percent at department stores and also dropped at spe-
cialty clothing stores, furniture stores, hardware stores and
appliance stores.
“While retailers have seen a solid gain in activity compared
to last year, the more recent three month trend has been negative
and that is not good news,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff
Economic Advisors.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3 percent in July, the
Labor Department said. But that was mostly because of rising
gas prices. After stripping out volatile food and gas prices, the
so-called “core” index increased 0.1 percent. Over the past year,
core consumer prices rose 0.9 percent — the slowest pace in
more than four decades.

HAVING MORE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
IS NOT THE SAME
AS HAVING MORE MONEY.
When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you
have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In
fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it
can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to
see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple
accounts usually mean multiple fees.
Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve
all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if
you’re moving toward your goals.
*Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts
to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local financial
advisor today.

Elida took two entirely dif-
ferent ideas out about their
scrimmage on a sunny and
very warm Friday morning at
Kraft Memorial Stadium.
The Blue Jays head coach
Todd Schulte was not a
happy camper, while Elida
boss Jason Carpenter was
more than pleased.
It becomes apparent when
you consider that the host
Bulldogs shut out the Jays
24-0.
“We played as we prac-
ticed. We’ve seen a lot of
the ‘press clippings’ and
believed them, based on how
we played today,” Schulte
explained. “We’ve talked
to the kids a lot about how
we cannot depend on being
experienced and what we’re
‘supposed’ to do but if we
don’t have their attention
now, it’s going to be a long
road to hoe.”
Carpenter had a different
perspective.
“Our defense set the tone
A long, strange day at PGA
By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. —
Tiger Woods ate breakfast
three times before he teed off
in the first round of the PGA
Championship. It was time for
dinner when his second round
began Friday.
Bubba Watson walked off
Whistling Straits atop the lea-
derboard after opening with a
68. He waited 30 hours for his
next shot.
And then there’s Nick
Watney.
“I was talking with my
caddie this afternoon and we
were talking about something
that happened this morning,”
he said. “But we both thought
it was yesterday. So it’s been
a long day. I’ll have no trou-
ble sleeping tonight and wake
up tomorrow and see where
we’re at.”
Not much is clear in the
final major of the year.
At least not yet.
After two days — but
not two full rounds — Matt
Kuchar was atop the leader-
board after another rock-solid
round on a soft course. He
nearly holed out from the 13th
fairway again during a stretch
of three straight birdies that
led to a 3-under 69.
Kuchar was at 8-under 136,
one shot ahead of Watney,
who had a 68.
Kuchar woke up at 4 a.m.
to get to the course and resume

Tuesday. Bench coach Chris
Speier ran the club.
The Reds pounced on
Johnson, scoring as many runs
in the first inning as they had
totaled against him in his previ-
ous three appearances against
Cincinnati.
Rolen snapped an 0-for-12
slid with the last of four con-
secutive first-inning singles,
producing two runs.
One out later, Bruce’s
bouncer up the middle
took a bad hop off the
glove of diving short-
stop Hanley Ramirez
and into center field,
sending Votto home and mak-
ing it 3-0.
Rolen, the All-Star third
baseman, reached on a leadoff
double and advanced to third
on Jim Edmonds’ grounder to
second. Bruce then hit a chop-
per up the middle and Ramirez
came home but Rolen scored
on a nifty slide past catcher
Ronny Paulino.
Bruce led off the fifth with
his 11th homer, a 419-foot
shot to center field off Taylor
Tankersley.
Stanton hit his 13th homer
and second in two nights with
one out in the sixth. He added
a 1-out homer to right in the
eighth.

appeared to slow as he rounded
third on the hot, humid eve-
ning. Gutierrez went to third on
the play and scored when Jason
Donald couldn’t handle Adam
Moore’s 2-out grounder that was
hit sharply but only a step or two
to the second baseman’s left that
gave Seattle a 3-2 lead.
Ichiro Suzuki’s speed put
Seattle ahead 1-0 in the first. He
beat out a slap single to shortstop,
stole second, moved to third on a
groundout and scored on another
groundout, by ex-Indian Russell
Branyan. It was Seattle’s first
road run in 22 innings.
Cleveland tied it in the second
on consecutive 2-out doubles by
Donald and Gimenez.
Branyan opened the Mariners’
fourth with a double high off
the left-field wall. He scored on
Kotchman’s 2-out single, a high
bouncer off a leaping Carmona’s
glove.
Former Mariners outfielder
Choo tied it at 2 with a 2-out
RBI single in the fifth. Michael
Brantley singled with one out,
stole second and scored on
Choo’s line drive to center.
Carmona gave up two earned
runs and nine hits over six
innings. He left after yielding a
leadoff double to Josh Wilson in
the seventh.

Tomorrow’s Horoscope
Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010
If you haven’t learned anything else,
you’ve figured out that it’s smart to
build upon a firm foundation. This
will serve you well when you want
to start a new endeavor in the year
ahead. You’ll make sure your footing
is solid before you take a step.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - To your
surprise, you’ll have a reservoir of
strengths upon which to draw that
could help you successfully perform
a tedious task or participate in a tough
competition. Give it your best.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - When
dealing with someone new on a
personal level, let your manner put
this person at ease. Once s/he senses
your sincerity, this individual will
feel impelled to treat you similarly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -
Stabilizing influences will prevail,
with recent disruptions dissipating
and falling by the wayside. This could
be especially prevalent in regards to
your financial affairs.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -
If an important matter comes up
that needs your personal attention,
disengage yourself from your social
involvements with others. They’ll
understand and even give you their
blessings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) - Performing at your best might
require a great deal of solitude. Don’t
hesitate to walk alone when it serves
your purpose to do so.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
- You might not feel as comfortable
in social involvements with new
acquaintances as you do engaging in
activities with familiar old friends.
Don’t be rude, but stick to tried and
true pals.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -
Someone with whom you usually are
at odds might find much to admire
in you at last. This could be the
benchmark for establishing a new
relationship.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -
Try to comprehend the big picture
instead of just reviewing a few
brushstrokes. You could get yourself
so overwhelmed by the details that
you fail to see what is right in front
of you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -
Should someone be trying to interest
you in something that might require
financial involvement, get him/her to
lay out the entire plan. Unless you get
all the details it should be a no-go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If
it’s not important who leads, and
your mate opts for that role, relegate
yourself to being supportive. It’s
likely to produce many benefits that
you never thought existed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Do
yourself a favor by pushing yourself
out of the easy chair, getting away
from the television set, and engaging
in something physically active.
Participating in a stimulating activity
outdoors would be perfect.
By Bernice Bede Osol
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Being
with friends whose exuberance is
infectious is a good prescription for
having a fun and healthy day. Make
every effort possible to avoid being
around dullards and dunderheads.
Monday, Aug. 16, 2010
Be satisfied with a slow-but-steady
growth pattern in the year ahead,
especially where your material
interests are concerned. If you go
after more than what you’re entitled
to, you may stall progress instead of
making gains.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Be careful
about what you pretend to know.
Someone could ask for an explanation
on that very subject and place you in
an extremely embarrassing spot not
easily gotten out of.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - In an
effort to be kind, you might make a
loan to a person who is an extremely
poor credit risk, known for not paying
his/her bills. Don’t be the underwriter
of an unworthy person.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - If you
are exposed to someone who talks
louder and longer than anybody
else, remember that it doesn’t mean
this person’s judgment is better than
yours. Stand your ground if you think
you’re right.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -
When you do little and expect a lot,
disappointment is more than likely to
be the end result. What you receive
will be commensurate to the service
you render or the work you perform.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -
You truly enjoy mingling with people
from all walks of life, but now you’re
likely to be more comfortable in the
company of close friends. Avoid
crowded gatherings if you can.
HI AND LOIS
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
- When meeting some friends or
business acquaintances, it’s best to be
meticulous regarding who is included.
Inviting someone who doesn’t easily
fit in with the others will make
everyone feel uncomfortable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If
you’re too self-involved, you aren’t
likely to be attuned to your listeners.
Take care not to gore a sacred cow
or dominate conversation with topics
that only appeal to you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -
There’s a good chance you could
snatch defeat form the jaws of
BLONDIE
success if you’re not careful. Be on
guard against inclinations to oversell
or turn a good deal into a bummer.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Even
though there is nothing wrong with
your judgment, you might think the
opposite. As a result, you’re likely
to let others who can’t even think
for themselves reason things out for
you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If
you accidentally blurt out something
that is better left unsaid, don’t call
attention to your blunder by trying to
clarify your comments. Chances are,
you’ll only make things worse.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Don’t
ignore someone who likes you and
has been nice to you in order to fawn BEETLE BAILEY
over a new acquaintance who hasn’t
yet given his/her friendship. Hurt
feelings will kill the good thing you
had going.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If
you’re a bit lackadaisical about
things, both your motivation and
initiative could break down rather
easily for you at this time. Needless
to say, it isn’t likely that you’ll
achieve any of your objectives.

Police: Israeli also suspect in stabbing in Israel

By DIAA HADID
The Associated Press
RAMLE, Israel — The man accused of
going on a three-state stabbing spree in the
United States was also a suspect in a stabbing
near his hometown in Israel. But what drove
Elias Abuelazam remains a mystery: Relatives
describe a shy man from a respected family
who had recently become despondent.
Profilers say the case is baffling because,
despite five deaths, murder did not appear to
be the goal.
Abuelazam is suspected of attacking people
in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia, leaving 13
people wounded in addition to the dead. He
was arrested Wednesday in Atlanta as he
prepared to board a flight to his native Israel,
where relatives said he lived until his family
sent him to the U.S. when he was 18.
The 33-year-old man appeared briefly
Friday in an Atlanta courtroom and agreed to
return to Michigan to face an attempted murder
charge in one of the attacks — a July 27 stab-
bing in Flint, Mich., that put the victim in the
hospital for a week.
Authorities said more charges were expect-
ed in the three states.
A family member in this poverty-strick-
en community said Abuelazam had become
unhappy about his personal life in recent
months. And others in the Arab neighborhood
where he grew up expressed shock that the
man they knew could be a suspect in the grue-
some attacks.
“I wouldn’t believe it even if I saw it with
my own eyes,” said Abuelazam’s 49-year-old
cousin, also named Elias Abuelazam.
He said that when his cousin last visited
earlier this year, he was tense, unhappy and
unsure what to do with his life. The younger
Abuelazam said he wanted to get married and
settle down in Israel.
“He seemed confused,” the cousin said.
But he said suggestions that Abuelazam was a
killer were “malicious rumors.”
He said news of the arrest had devastated
Abuelazam’s mother, who was excitedly wait-
ing for a text message to pick her son up at the
airport when she heard the news. “She couldn’t
stand up ... She was hysterical,” he said.
During Friday’s court hearing, Abuelazam
was expressionless as he responded to ques-
tions from the judge. He initially said he
wanted to stay in Georgia. But the judge told
him he would have to return to Michigan if he
wanted to fight the allegations.
After the judge explained the process fur-
ther, Abuelazam agreed to waive his extradi-
tion rights and go back to Michigan.
“All right, then I’ll do so,” he said. “It
sounds more logical to go right now than in
90 days.”
Back in Israel, the family’s modest two-
story stone home, in a Christian section of
Ramle’s historic old city, remained shuttered
and dark on Friday, and Abuelazams’ mother,
Hiam, was holed up inside.
In a brief radio interview, she described her
son as a “religious, God-fearing man” and said
she refused to believe he was a killer.
However, Israeli police said Abuelazam
was a suspect in a stabbing attack early this
year, although charges were never pressed.
A senior police commander said Abuelazam
was believed to have stabbed a close acquain-
tance in the face with a screwdriver during an
argument in a parked car about six months ago.
The commander said police dropped the case
because the victim refused to cooperate with
investigators.
He said Israeli police would request samples
of Abuelazam’s DNA to investigate unsolved
stabbings in the Ramle area. The city is known
as a violent hot spot of drug activity.
The commander spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because he was barred by police rules
from speaking to the media.
The alleged victim in the attack, Ziad
Shahin, denied being assaulted by Abuelazam
but had a large scar from his right ear to his
throat. Speaking outside his candy store in
Ramle, Shahin said he was born with the
mark.
Ramle’s roughly 3,000-member Arab
Christian community is tight-knit, and resi-
dents were extremely cautious about discuss-
ing Abuelazam’s past.
Acquaintances said Abuelazam’s father
died of illness when he was a baby, and that he
was raised by his single mother and four sis-
ters. The family owned a grocery store and two
other shops in town, and the mother was well
regarded. Abuelazam, a member of Ramle’s
Greek Orthodox community, attended two
prestigious Catholic schools, they said.
Abuelazam’s most recent visit came earlier
this year, and he returned to the U.S. in the
spring, shortly before the stabbing spree began
in Flint, with the attacker approaching men
on lonely roads at night and asking for direc-
tions or help with a broken-down car. Then he
would pull out a knife, plunge it into his victim
and speed away.
All but four of the 18 attacks occurred the
Flint area. The others were in Leesburg, Va.,
and Toledo, Ohio. In one case, the attacker
used a hammer.
The youngest victim was 15; the oldest
67. At least 15 victims were black, although
there’s no evidence that race played a role,
authorities said. A motive was not known.
Robert Keppel, a retired Washington state
homicide detective who profiles serial kill-
ers, said it’s rare for someone to attack males
exclusively.
Whoever is responsible for the 18 attacks,
“he’s just getting off on stabbing people. He’s
not guaranteeing that they die,” said Keppel,
who investigated the Ted Bundy homicides in
the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s.
“For some reason, the satisfaction is just in
the action of the stabbings,” Keppel said. “He’s
only turned on by the act of the approach and
the initial stabbing. He’s got some hang-ups. ...
He’s a rare killer among rare killers.”
A tip led police this week to a market out-
side Flint where Abuelazam had worked for
a month. Investigators talked to employees,
and a store video showed that he matched the
description of the man wanted by authorities.
But Abuelazam was gone: He told people
he was off to Virginia and had not been seen
since his Aug. 1 shift.
Police in Arlington, Va., stopped him for
a traffic offense Aug. 5 and arrested him
on a 2008 misdemeanor assault charge from
Leesburg, Va., where he had lived and worked
in the mental-health field. A hammer and a
knife were found inside the Chevrolet Blazer,
which was returned to him after his brief
detention. There was no national alert for
Abuelazam or his vehicle.
Virginia authorities “had no idea at that
time that he was involved in these crimes,”
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton in
Michigan said.
Abuelazam eventually returned to
Michigan, obtained a $3,000 airline ticket to
Tel Aviv from his uncle and made it as far
as the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta,
where officers snatched the man in flip-flops
and shorts after he was paged over the inter-
com.

Bike sold for

$5 in Ky. once
belonged to
Floyd Landis
By JEFFREY McMURRAY
The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The

bicycle had two flat tires, but
Greg Estes figured the $5 ask-
ing price still made it a great
bargain at a yard sale. Little did
he know just how great.
Estes checked on the bike’s
origin after buying it in Owenton
this month. He was shocked
to learn it may be worth as
much as $8,000 and was cus-
tom built for cycling star Floyd
Landis, who used it in the 2007
Leadville 100, a mountain bike
race in Colorado.
Landis crashed but finished
second in that race, which was
shortly after his victory in the
2006 Tour de France, a win
since vacated due to doping

how good it rides.”
A sticker on the bike told
him it was custom built by
Cyco-Path Bicycles out of
Temecula, Calif., near San
Diego. Store manager Loren
Foley said he was stunned
when Estes started describing
the parts, knowing the com-
pany had made only one such
model and they remembered
it well considering Landis’
celebrity at the time.
Foley dug up photographs
of the Colorado race to be sure
and recognized Landis’ crashed
bicycle as identical to the model
Estes was describing.
“It’s even got the same
under-the-seat gear bag, the
same tires,” Foley said. “It’s
definitely the same bike.”
As for value, Foley said
Estes could expect to collect
$5,500 to $6,000 for it on the
open market — maybe quite a
bit more if he gets actual value
or a premium because it once
belonged to a celebrity.
For fun, Estes put the bike
in his own yard sale, replacing

HRA Pharma did not

Ella uses the hormone pro-
gesterone to delay ovulation,
a key step in the fertilization
process.
Despite this, the drug has
drawn criticism from anti-
abortion groups who say it is
closer to an abortion pill than
an emergency contraception
pill.
Groups including the
Family Research Council
argue the drug is chemically
similar to the abortion drug
mifeprestone, which can be
taken to end a pregnancy up
to 50 days into the gestation
period. That drug has been
associated with severe infec-
tions and bleeding after abor-
tion. However, FDA review-
ers reported no life-threaten-
ing medical side effects with
ella.
The most common side
effects with the drug included
headache, nausea and abdom-
inal pain, according to an
FDA release.
Abortion rights groups
hailed the approval as an
important step for the FDA,
which was criticized in 2006
for its handling of Plan B’s
approval.
