Mubarak orders ministers to resign but backs armed response to protests BY DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK AND ALAN COWELL

CAIRO — President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt appeared on television late Friday night and ordered his government to resign, but backed his security forces’ attempts to contain the surging unrest around the country that has shaken his 28-year authoritarian rule. He did not offer to step down himself and spent much of the short speech explaining the need for stability, saying that while he was “on the side of freedom,” his job was to protect the nation from chaos. Several hours earlier, he had ordered the military into the streets to reinforce police struggling to contain riots by tens of thousands of Egyptians. The president also imposed an overnight curfew nationwide, but demonstrators deﬁed the or-

WASHINGTON — Investigators have concluded that Army commanders ignored advice not to send to Iraq an Army private who’s now accused of downloading hundreds of thousands of sensitive reports and diplomatic cables that ended up on the WikiLeaks website in the largest single security breach in U.S. history, McClatchy has learned. Pfc. Bradley Manning’s direct supervisor warned that Manning had thrown chairs at colleagues and shouted at higher ranking soldiers in the year he was stationed at Fort Drum, N.Y., and advised that Manning shouldn’t be sent to Iraq, where his job would entail accessing classified documents through the Defense Department’s computer system. But superior officers decided to ignore the advice because the unit was short of intelligence analysts and needed Manning’s skills, two military officials familiar with the investigation told McClatchy. • TURN TO WIKILEAKS, 2A

establish control. Protesters also tried to attack the U.S. Embassy. Senior Egyptian military commanders cut short a previously scheduled visit to the Pentagon to rush home to Cairo, U.S. military officials said. The demonstrations, on what protesters called a “day of wrath,” were on a scale far beyond anything in the memory of most residents and struck several cities besides the capital, including Suez, Alexandria and Port Said. At least one person died, in Suez, according to news reports, and the Interior Ministry said nearly 900 were injured in the Cairo area alone.

SANTIAGO, Chile — A Chilean judge has opened the first official investigation into the death of former President Salvador Allende, the democratically elected Socialist who died during the 1973 military coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Allende, 65, was found dead by the military forces that stormed the presidential palace after hours of a gun battle and bombings. At the time, an autopsy suggested that Allende had killed himself. But many of his supporters have contended for decades that he might have been killed by troops or snipers. The inquiry is part of new investigations into 726 human rightsrelated crimes in which the victims or their relatives never filed suit. Judge Sergio Munoz, who is in charge of coordinating all human rights inquiries, had asked a prosecutor to determine the number of cases in ALLENDE which no investigations had been undertaken and to file legal complaints on behalf of the suspected victims. That included the case of Allende’s death. The judicial prosecutor of the appeals court, Beatriz Pedrals, said the purpose of the investigation was to seek “uniformity of criteria, in other words, what has not been investigated, the courts will investigate.” Judge Mario Carroza, who will conduct the investigation, said this was “more than an important duty.” The autopsy report concluded that Allende had died of a gunshot wound, fired from a short distance into his mouth, “that could have been made by himself.” • TURN TO ALLENDE, 2A

Senators distance themselves from Tea Party BY KATHLEEN HENNESSEY Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Although dozens of Republicans sailed into office with the help of the Tea Party movement last year, finding a self-identified “Tea Party Republican” on Capitol Hill is harder than you’d think. The first meeting of the Senate Tea Party Caucus on Thursday attracted just four senators — out

of a possible 47 GOP members — willing to describe themselves as members. The event was as notable for who wasn’t there than who was. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., once a Tea Party darling, has for now declined to join the caucus, whose ﬁrst meeting was organized by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican whose campaign

sprung from the small-government movement, has passed for now. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., showed up to address the group Thursday, but then hustled out of the room, ignoring reporters’ questions about whether he was in or out. The reluctance shows how the purposefully disjointed movement and its crop of outspoken and controversial leaders, although a powerful force in a campaign known

as the “Year of the Tea Party,” are still viewed as risky allies even for conservative politicians. With the rhetoric of the campaign now translating into politically painful budget cuts, the Tea Party agenda looks less like the hub of Republican energy in Congress and more like an endpoint of the spectrum. • TURN TO TEA PARTY, 2A

Mubarak sacks Cabinet, backs use of army • EGYPT, FROM 1A

that toppled one leader in Tunisia and encouraged protesters to overcome deep-rooted fears of their authoritarian leaders and take to the streets. But Egypt is special: a heavyweight in Middle East diplomacy, partly because of its peace treaty with Israel, and a key ally of the United States. The country, often the fulcrum on which currents in the region turn, also has one of the largest and most sophisticated security forces in the Middle East. Calling out the military is a signal of how dramatically the situation had spiraled out of control after four days of demonstrations. The army, one of the country’s most powerful and respected institutions, prefers to remain behind the scenes and has not been sent into the streets since 1986. But the police, a much reviled force prone to violent retribution against anyone who publicly deﬁes the state, appeared unable to quell the unrest despite a heavyhanded response that included beating protesters and ﬁring a water cannon at Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei. In several cases in the capital and elsewhere, the police were forced to back down by throngs of protesters. In one of the most arresting scenes of the day, in Alexandria, protesters snatched batons, shields and helmets from the police. Honking cars drove up and down a main street, with passengers holding police riot shields and truncheons out the windows as trophies. In both Cairo and Alexandria, some army patrols were greeted with applause and waves from the crowds — a

seemingly incongruous response from demonstrators who say they want to bring down the president. But many people support the army for its success in shocking Israel with a surprise attack in 1973 and for its perceived reluctance, at least in the past, to get involved in politics. As the chaos continued, it appeared some Egyptians might be taking steps on their own to stop any destruction. An Al Jazeera correspondent, who had spoken by phone to eye witnesses at the National Museum, said thousands of protesters had formed a “human shield” around the museum to defend from possible looting of antiquities, though there were no conﬁrmed reports that such looting had begun. THE U.S. RESPONSE U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Friday on Egypt’s government to “restrain the security forces” and said that “reform is absolutely critical to the wellbeing of Egypt.” “We urge the Egyptian authorities to allow peaceful protest and to reverse the unprecedented steps it has take to cut off communications,” she said, apparently referring to interruptions in Internet and cellphone connections in some cities. She also urged protesters to “refrain from violence and express themselves peacefully.” After her comments, the State Department issued a travel alert cautioning U.S. citizens against nonessential trips to Egypt in the next month. The unrest in Egypt poses unique challenges for the Obama administration, which has publicly supported Mubarak but privately pushed him

Chile to investigate former leader’s death • ALLENDE, FROM 1A

But in 2008, Luis Ravanal, a thanatologist who analyzed the original report, said he found evidence of gunshot wounds from two different weapons. Those who were with Allende that day claim the president had killed himself by the time the military entered the palace. Dr. Arturo Jiron, one of Allende’s personal doctors who was with him, said he saw Allende just seconds after he shot himself. His colleague, Dr. Patricio Guijon, “went

into the hall where Allende was to get a gas mask, and he saw the president shoot himself,” Jiron said. “We will not change our version of the events,” he said. “That is what happened. It is the truth.” In his last radio broadcast as the presidential palace was under siege, Allende insinuated that he would not be taken alive. “I will not resign,” he said. “Placed in this historic juncture, I will pay with my life the loyalty of the people.” The military dictatorship that ensued lasted 17 years.

to reform after decades in power. U.S. President Barack Obama had not spoken with the Egyptian leader about Friday’s unrest, the White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said in an afternoon news conference. He added that the Egyptian people’s “legitimate grievances” need to be addressed “immediately.” In Suez, east of Cairo and the site of some of the most violent clashes, Reuters reported that protesters were carrying a man’s body through the streets as one demonstrator shouted, “They have killed my brother.” Details of his death were not immediately clear. Al Jazeera reported that at least three buildings were on fire in the city late in the day, including a liquor store and a building belonging to a particularly unpopular member of the ruling party. According to The Associated Press, Egyptian security officials said they had placed ElBaradei, the country’s most prominent opposition figure, under house arrest, but that could not be confirmed and reports throughout the day had been contradictory. After being doused by the water cannon, ElBaradei took shelter in a nearby mosque. “This is an indication of a barbaric regime,” said ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. “By doing this they are ensuring their destruction is at hand.” Early in the day in Cairo, protesters set fire to a police truck as police lobbed tear gas to try to block to a key bridge across the Nile from the island of Zamalek, After battling for hours, protesters succeeding in driving the police from the bridge. Television images showed

plainclothes security policemen beating protesters, and video footage on Al Jazeera showed a crowd pushing what they identiﬁed as a burning police car off a bridge. At Al Azhar in old Cairo, thousands poured from one of the most iconic mosques of Sunni Islam, chanting “The people want to bring down the regime.” The police ﬁred tear gas and protesters hurled rocks as they sought to break though police lines. From balconies above the street, residents threw water and lemons to protesters whose eyes were streaming from tear gas. A SUDDEN PEACE In a stunning turn of events in Alexandria, a pitched battle ended with protesters and police shaking hands and sharing water bottles on the same street corner where minutes before they were exchanging hails of stones and tear-gas canisters were arcing through the sky. Thousands on the sixlane coastal road then sank to their knees and prayed. Internet and cellphone connections have been disrupted or restricted in Cairo, Alexandria and other places, cutting off social-media websites that had been used to organize protests and complicating efforts by the news media to report on events on the ground. Some reports said journalists had been singled out by police who used batons to beat and charge protesters. Cellphone operator Vodafone, said Friday that Egypt had told operators to suspend services in selected areas of the country. Vodafone, a British company, said it would comply, Reuters reported. In Alexandria, as soon as Friday prayers ended, of protesters streamed out of a

mosque, chanting “Wake up, wake up son of my country. Come down Egyptians.” Police there closed on the crowd, firing tear gas as the demonstrators pelted them with stones. A stone struck the officer firing the gas from the top of the truck and the truck pulled back, but reinforcements arrived and officers marshaled a new offensive. The protest in Alexandria turned into a block-by-block battle. The riot police managed to push the demonstrators one block back from the mosque, sealing it off from both sides and slowly advancing behind the tear-gas truck. Several women shouted “dirty government,” leaning from the balconies of their high-rise apartments to hurl bottles down on the police. Officers pounded their clear shields with their billy clubs and chanted in unison. In Cairo, too, an eerie silence fell in one section of the city at midafternoon, as hundreds of protesters began a prayer session in the middle of the street, according to live images from Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite channel. Protesters bowed their heads as smoke billowed into the air behind them from the skirmishes between demonstrators and riot police. ALL EYES ON CAIRO Despite predictions otherwise, there were only sporadic protests elsewhere in the region. The Yemeni capital of Sana, where thousands had gathered a day before, was quiet Friday. In Jordan, thousands took to the streets after Friday prayers but the demonstrations were peaceful. Across the Middle East, attention seemed focused on Egypt, the Arab world’s most

populous country. Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, the most inﬂuential Arab satellite channels, broadcast nonstop coverage of the demonstrations. “It has blown up in Egypt,” read the front page of Al Akhbar, an inﬂuential leftist newspaper in Beirut. “Today all eyes are focused on the mosques in the land of Egypt, where the protests are expected to reach their peak.” The protests across Egypt have underscored the blistering pace of events that have transformed the Arab world, particularly among regimes that have traditionally enjoyed the support of Washington. Images of the lowly challenging the mighty have been relayed from one capital to the next, partly through the aggressive coverage of Al Jazeera. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have given protesters a potent weapon, enabling them to elude traditional police measures to monitor and curb dissent. But various regimes have fallen back on a more traditional playbook, relying on security forces to face angry demonstrators on the streets. On Thursday, the Muslim Brotherhood, which had remained formally aloof from the earlier protests, seemed to be seeking to align itself with the youthful and apparently secular demonstrators, saying it would support Friday’s protests. But it was unclear what role the Brotherhood had played in Friday's protests, which seemed to include a cross-section of Egyptians. Even some of the capital’s wealthiest neighborhoods such as Zamalek and Maddi were caught up in the turmoil.

Army ignored warnings about Manning • WIKILEAKS, FROM 1A

The commanders hoped they could address Manning’s discipline problems in Iraq, the officials told McClatchy, but then never properly monitored him. The result was a “comedy of errors” as one commander after another assumed someone else was addressing Manning’s problems, one official said. Both officials spoke anonymously because they weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation. Investigators are considering whether they should recommend disciplinary action against at least three officers in Manning’s chain of command. Investigators

must submit their ﬁndings to Army Secretary John McHugh by Tuesday. It’s the second time in just over a year that Army practices have come under intense internal scrutiny after a major security failing. A similar probe after an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened ﬁre on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009, killing 13, also focused on how superiors failed to take action despite signs that Maj. Nidal Hasan, who’d exchanged e-mails with a radical Yemeni-American cleric, was seriously disaffected and might turn violent. That probe resulted in 47 recommendations for chang-

es in Army procedures, including granting supervisors better access to personnel records and imposing better screening for threats from Internet sources. Although none of Hasan’s supervisors have been disciplined, they still could face charges or administrative actions, Army ofﬁcials have said. The ﬁndings in the Manning investigation likely will renew concerns that commanders once again refused to address signs of a troubled soldier because they needed his skills to deploy a fully staffed unit to Iraq or Afghanistan. It could also lead to changes in how commanders deal with discipline

problems or decide when not to deploy someone. Deploying soldiers who in earlier years might have been left behind was a systemic issue during the height of the Iraq War, as commanders found themselves scurrying to cobble together units to deploy. An Army report into the service’s high suicide rate concluded in July that military commanders had become so focused on training troops for deployment that they no longer had the time to address issues such as alcoholism, prescription drug abuse and even violence, and instead hoped they’d disappear in combat.

Lawmakers avoid joining Tea Party • TEA PARTY, FROM 1A

To be sure, there are institutional reasons for the Senate Tea Party Caucus’ still-meager membership. In the House, special interest caucuses serve as a way for like-minded lawmakers to amplify their influence. But in the Senate, which has fewer members, the tactic is less necessary and senators are less eager to join. The Senate also has a stricter pecking order and more defined set of expectations for new members. So, it was fairly unusual when, after just a few weeks in office, Paul proposed his own budget. He recommended gutting the Interior and State departments, eliminating the Department of Energy and cutting all funding for public radio and television and the National Endowment for the Arts. While Paul’s plan cuts $500 billion from the budget in a year — five times what House Republican leaders have proposed — it’s not one even some fiscally conservative Republicans have been quick to endorse. A spokesman for Rubio said the senator hasn’t read it. Rubio’s own plan for reforming education contains no specific program cuts. Paul’s approach is exactly what the most engaged ac-

29PGA02.indd 2

tivists of the Tea Party have been seeking. But it’s not necessarily a pragmatic approach for lawmakers like Rubio or Johnson, who need support from independent and even Democratic voters in their swing states. Johnson said he was declining for now to join the Tea Party Caucus because it threatened to highlight division among Republicans. “The reason I ran for the U.S. Senate was to not only stop the Obama agenda but reverse it. I believe our best chance of doing that is to work towards a uniﬁed Republican Conference, so that’s where I will put my energy,” said Johnson, who noted he had “great respect for the Tea Party movement.” There’s evidence of similar reservations in the House, where many more new Republicans were helped by the Tea Party. More than 50 Republicans joined the House Tea Party Caucus in July, during the campaign season. A membership list for the new Congress will be released in February, according to the ofﬁce of caucus chairwoman Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. But several new Republicans have said they’re uncertain whether they’ll join, citing worries about demands on their time and an early focus on constituent services.

New details out in Berlusconi scandal BY ELISABETTA POVOLEDO New York Times Service

JOEL GREENBERG/WASHINGTON POST SERVICE

UNITING: Gershon Luxemburg, center, coaches boxers at his club in Jerusalem, where both Jews and Arabs train.

Boxing brings Jews and Arabs together BY JOEL GREENBERG

Washington Post Service

JERUSALEM — In a converted bomb shelter in a low-income Jewish neighborhood, Ismail Jaafari, a Palestinian boxer from across town, bobbed and weaved in the ring, trading punches with an Israeli opponent. They were sparring at a local boxing club that is something of an anomaly in this ethnically divided city: a place where both Jews and Arabs pursue a shared passion. Palestinians from East Jerusalem have earned their boxing credentials at the club, training with Russian-speaking Jewish immigrants, bearded yeshiva students and settlers from the West Bank. Presiding over it all is Gershon Luxemburg, an immigrant from the former Soviet Union who learned boxing as a boy to repel anti-Semitic assaults and later became a champion boxer in Uzbekistan and several times Israel’s light heavyweight champion. An unabashed nationalist who was jailed more than 20 years ago on charges of stockpiling arms, allegedly for attacks on Arabs, Luxemburg, 66, now preaches tolerance. He accepts all comers to his club, which he says is meant to provide a healthy outlet for youths in troubled neighborhoods. KNOCKING OUT BARRIERS On a recent evening, Jaafari led a warm-up session, jogging around the gym, trailed by aspiring boxers who ranged in age from young boys to a man in his 60s, and included two young women. Luxemburg, who shares coaching duties with his brother Eli, a former Soviet champion, barked orders as the boxers went through their paces. “Before I started coaching, I thought the Arabs were an obstacle for us in this country and that we couldn’t live together,” Luxemburg said. “But it’s hard to believe what sports has done, how it has brought people here together; they’ve become friends, helping each other out, inviting each other over.” Jaafari, a 36-year-old truck driver, said he had trained at the club for 13 years under Luxemburg’s tutelage. “We’re more than friends,” Jaafari said. “He’s like my father.” After Palestinian bombing attacks in Jerusalem, Jaafari recalled, he would stay away from the club to avoid awkward encounters with Israeli club members. Luxemburg would call him, insisting that he show up. “He would tell me: ‘Who cares about the political situation outside! We’re here, and you’re like family.’ ” Ramzi Srour, an 18-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem who has trained at the club for eight years, said the conﬂict on the streets never disrupted the atmosphere in the boxing gym. “Down in the club, we don’t pay attention to the problems upstairs,” he said. “This is sports, and we’re like brothers.” Luxemburg, who in his day job works as a building superintendent, has taken his Jewish and Arab club members on road trips together to boxing matches, cooking them food and taking them on sightseeing trips. “There were people here who had never even met an Arab, and only saw them on TV throwing stones,” Luxemburg said. “Suddenly they’re sitting together, talking to one another as human beings.” ‘SPORTS CROSSES BORDERS’ Urged by Luxemburg to create an alternative to street life for youngsters in his own community, Jaafari opened a boxing and karate club in his East Jerusalem neighborhood, and its members regularly travel to the Jewish side of town for sparring matches in Luxemburg’s gym. Boxers trained by Jaafari have taken top places in Palestinian championships in the West Bank, and one traveled to Jordan as a member of a national squad. Jaafari, who has competed in Israeli championships, said that “sports crosses borders.” “Politics is a dirty business that should be put aside,” he added. “We get along ﬁne.” For the Israeli boxers in Luxemburg’s club, the presence of the Palestinians is completely unremarkable. “They’re my friends,” said Yotam Mirzai, who lives in the Israeli settlement town of Maaleh Adumim in the West Bank, near Jerusalem. “In the ring, we’re all just people, and in competitions, it doesn’t matter where you’re from.” The distinction between the political and the personal, Luxemburg says, is the key. He recalled how, at the height of Israeli-Palestinian violence several years ago, he would regularly take clothes, food and money to a Palestinian in the West Bank who had worked for him but could not reach his job because of Israeli border closures. “There are enemies, and there are friends,” he said. “Whoever comes at you with a weapon should get what he deserves, but a friend is a friend. There’s war, and then there’s life, and we can manage.”

was detained for theft last spring. The prosecutors have also said that “a signiﬁcant number” of young women prostituted themselves to the prime minister, obtaining cash or rent-free housing in exchange for sex. The fresh details of alleged improprieties prompt-

ed Pier Luigi Bersani, leader of the Democratic Party, the largest group in the opposition, to call on Berlusconi to step down. In a note published on the party website, Bersani said the prime minister’s resignation would “free the country from an embarrassment that is no longer sustainable.”

ROME — New details of alleged sexual escapades at Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s private villas were leaked after prosecutors presented documents to Parliament in an effort to gain permission to search the prime minister’s properties. The parliamentary committee that voted on the matter Thursday denied the request by a vote of 11-8, saying it had to be taken up by judicial authorities. The majority of the committee members are Berlusconi allies. Berlusconi has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Details of the documents leaked this week were widely reported in the Italian press and included allusions to raunchy parties in which women attended in exchange for gifts.

mentally ill and aggressive, the inspector said. “He told us that locking her up was the only way he could think of to prevent her from wandering off and getting lost,” Coutinho said.

“She does have psychiatric problems but she is deﬁnitely not an aggressive person.” Coutinho added that Groppo claimed he took his wife to visit a psychiatrist once a month.

SAO PAULO — A man has been arrested for allegedly keeping his wife locked for eight years in the dark, dank cellar of their home in southeastern Brazil, police said. Joao Batista Groppo, 64, was arrested Thursday after his wife of 40 years, Sebastiana, was found confined in a “filthy, dark” cellar, said police inspector Jaqueline Barcelos Coutinho. Groppo’s girlfriend, Maria Furquim, was arrested as an accomplice by police in Sorocaba, about 50 miles west of Sao Paulo, the inspector said. Initially, Groppo told police that he had locked his spouse up for 16 years. He later revised the time period to eight years, which their son confirmed, Coutinho said in a telephone interview. The son told her he knew what his father was doing but was unable to persuade him to stop, Coutinho said, adding that the son “may face charges of failing to come to the aid of someone in need.” She declined to identify him. Groppo, who described PEDRO HENRIQUE NEGRAO, DIARIO DE SOROCABA/AP himself as a retired industrial consultant, said he locked up CALLOUS: According to police in southeastern Brazil, his 64-year-old wife begin- Joao Batista Groppo said he locked up his wife in ning in 2003 because she is 2003 because she is mentally ill and aggressive.

Police were tipped off to the situation by an anonymous telephone call and arrested Groppo on Wednesday, the inspector said. She said she was shocked when she arrived at Groppo’s house and found the woman behind a padlocked iron gate in the cellar. “She was lying nude on a concrete bed inside a foulsmelling, humid cubicle with no electricity or ventilation,” Coutinho said. “The walls were covered with mold and spider webs. She was in a degrading situation unfit for animals.” Sebastiana was taken to a local hospital and released several hours later. She was then taken to her son’s home in a nearby city, Coutinho said. “She appears to be in good physical condition, but to be on the safe side we asked the son to make sure she gets a full checkup and continued psychiatric help,” the inspector said. Groppo and his girlfriend face charges of depriving someone of their freedom through “private incarceration” and could be sentenced to up to eight years in jail, Coutinho said. Under Brazilian law, prosecutors only file formal charges after police finish their investigation.

Court ruling secures Emanuel’s mayoral bid BY MONICA DAVEY

New York Times Service

CHICAGO — Rahm Emanuel’s bid to become mayor of this city may proceed, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled Thursday, ending a week that had turned this city’s politics upside down, then back again. The unanimous decision brought a close to months of legal debate over whether Emanuel qualiﬁed for the ballot, speciﬁcally whether his time in Washington as U.S. President Barack Obama’s chief of staff meant that he had given up his residency status in Chicago, where he was born. By Illinois state code, candidates for mayor are required to have resided in Chicago for at least one year before Election Day. Emanuel left the White House in October, and the election is Feb. 22, but Emanuel argued that he was still a Chicago resident because he owned a house here, paid taxes here, voted here and left his most cherished possessions in the basement of his house here.

Moments after the ruling was issued late Thursday, Emanuel was shaking hands with voters at a downtown “L” train stop, where many had yet to hear the outcome, and asked what had happened. Emanuel, who appeared cheery as a mob of cameras rolled, said that he had no control over what had occurred but was pleased that the voters now had some sense of certainty for the election ahead. “We stayed focused on the concerns of the voters,” Emanuel said of a week that had, however brieﬂy, sent voters, election workers and other candidates into a tangle of confusion. The word “resident,” Emanuel advised, would no longer be permitted in his family’s regular Scrabble games. Then he was off to a televised debate of the candidates. Legal experts said the State Supreme Court’s decision was probably a ﬁnal answer to Emanuel’s situation, which has left this city puzzled and reeling, even

as early voting is to start Monday. Ever since Mayor Richard M. Daley, this city’s longestserving mayor, announced in September that he would retire, Emanuel has been viewed as something of a front-runner. Before this past week of fast-shifting announcements — that he was off, then back on the ballot — some voters had begun to wonder not if Emanuel would win, but when. In recent months, challenges to Emanuel’s candidacy were dismissed by a local election board, then by a trial judge. But Monday, a panel of the Illinois Appellate Court ruled that Emanuel did not qualify to run, saying he had to physically live in the city — not just own property and pay taxes here — to run. Emanuel’s lawyers balked at the interpretation and appealed their case to the State Supreme Court. For election ofﬁcials the ruling was a relief — not particularly for its content but for its ﬁnality. They

started the week printing hundreds of thousands of ballots without Emanuel’s name (as the appellate court had ordered) but by Thursday night were about halfway through printing 2 million more, this time with his name (as the Supreme Court ordered when it agreed to consider the case).

jcharles@MiamiHerald.com

PORT-AU-PRINCE — Four Haitian cholera patients who were mysteriously paralyzed after treatment for the waterborne-disease do not have polio, said a Haitian epidemiologist. “They are negative,” Dr. Roc Magloire, of Haiti’s Ministry of Health, said as test results came back from a lab. The four patients — three of whom died — were all treated at the same cholera treatment center in northwest Haiti when they developed paralysis 24 to 72 hours afterward. The cases were ﬁrst reported by local health authorities on Jan. 10. Magloire said the cause of the paralysis may be environmental, but more tests are needed. Haitian health ofﬁcials are being joined in their efforts by toxicologists and other medical experts from the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are investigating

possible sources, including contamination at the treatment center, or at the patients’ home from medication or food. The cholera-related mystery comes as Haiti reports “tremendous progress” with fighting the illness that has killed 4,030 people since first being diagnosed in Haiti. “People are not quite as frightened as they were originally. They know what it is,” said Carleene Dei, mission director for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Haiti. “They know what it can do to you; they have a good idea how to prevent it. . . . They know you don’t have to die. The fear and the trauma of the first outbreak has diminished significantly.” Still, challenges remain as Dei and other USAID officials learned first-hand when they visited several cholera-related projects in the Central Haiti town of Mirebalais this week. The projects are operated by Partners In Health and Mercy Corps., two nongovernmental organizations that provide medical

assistance and cholera prevention activities with U.S. funding. The United States has contributed nearly $42.5 million for Haitian cholera programs. During the hours-long trip, the group spoke with patients and doctors at a cholera treatment center and observed a community meeting on hygiene and sanitation. Medical professionals and community health workers said their biggest challenge today is reaching people in remote communities, where bad or nonexistent roads make it difﬁcult for people to get treatment in time. “The best strategy is don’t get cholera, push the prevention out there and get the [oral rehydration salts] out there which can take care of so many of the cases before they get bad,” said Mark Ward, former acting director of the Ofﬁce of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance. “We can’t treat everybody but we should be able to prevent it across the country and get the prevention message out there.”

Honduran leader marks 1st year amid protests TEGUCIGALPA — (AP) — President Porfirio Lobo completed his first year in office with greater international recognition, as well as persistent domestic protests by supporters of ousted former leader Manuel Zelaya, who called Lobo’s performance “discouraging and negative.” Lobo said Thursday the world isolated Honduras following the June 2009 coup that ousted Zelaya. But he says the country’s increasing recognition since then “makes me view the future with optimism.” More than 100 countries now recognize Honduras, but it still has not been readmitted to the Organization of American States. Lobo won 2009 elections that had already been scheduled at the time of the coup. Zelaya’s term ran out in January 2010, and since then he has lived in the Dominican Republic. He has said he wants to return, but first wants arrest warrants against him dropped. Zelaya faces charges of fraud, usurping powers and falsifying documents, which he calls politically motivated. Lobo said Thursday “I

don’t want anybody in jail for political reasons.” In a statement from the Dominican Republic, Zelaya wrote that “through the course of these 12 months, the tendency has been for the government to worsen conditions in the country.” He accused Lobo’s administration of showing “a complete absence of sensitivity to the indescribable suffering of the majority of the people.” Honduras has suffered a stubborn economic down-

turn and a wave of violent crime, with 6,200 murders in a country of 7.7 million inhabitants, a homicide rate of about 77 per 100,000, among the highest in the hemisphere. Zelaya supporters marched through several major cities, including Tegucigalpa, the capital, on Thursday, to demand Zelaya be allowed to return. The government has said he is welcome to do so, but must face charges.

MEXICO CITY — A 59-year-old U.S. missionary was shot in the head and killed in northern Mexico, possibly because one of the local drug cartels coveted her heavy-duty pickup truck, authorities said on Thursday. Nancy Davis’ husband, Sam, drove the bulletriddled blue 2008 Chevrolet against trafﬁc to the border on Wednesday afternoon. He crossed the bridge into Pharr, Texas, where he told authorities that the couple had been ambushed about 60 miles south of the border on a Mexican highway by gunmen in a black pickup, according to the Pharr Police Department. Davis was rushed to a hospital in McAllen, where she died. Friends told reporters she was a longtime missionary with vast experience in the increasingly dangerous area of northern Mexico, which has been wracked by drug violence for several years. Local police said the truck the Davises drove is prized by Mexican cartels. The shooting was reported to have taken place near the town of San Fernando, in southern Tamaulipas state. San Fernando was the site

in August where 72 immigrants, mostly from Central America, were abducted and slain in the single largest massacre of Mexico’s raging drug war. The Davises have spent decades as missionaries in Mexico and owned a home in the state of Nuevo Leon, friends told reporters. They founded a group called the Gospel Proclaimers Missionary Association in Weslaco, Texas. The God’s Missionary Church in Beavertown, Pa., alerted its congregation of the attack via Twitter. “Long time missionary Nancy Davis has gone to Heaven,” the church said. “Serving in that country for over 35 years with

her family, she has now given her very life for her people.” U.S. authorities said the investigation is largely in Mexican hands. “Mexico being a sovereign nation, we ask the involved entities over there to aggressively pursue cases such as this,” said Erik Vasys, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Mexican federal government condemned the shooting in a statement Wednesday evening, and the Tamaulipas state government did as well Thursday, while also pledging to cooperate with authorities investigating the killing. Few crimes are ever resolved in Mexico, however, least of all in a violent state like Tamaulipas, where cartels hold massive sway. The attack revived concerns about violence from Mexico’s drug wars spilling across the border. Crime has either dropped or held steady along most of the U.S. side of the border, which includes some of the safest parts of the country, according to FBI crime statistics. But there have been a steady signs of trouble over recent months ALAN CHRISTNER/AP FILE, 2008 that the calm may not hold. SAD END: Nancy Davis was Katherine Cesinger, a a longtime missionary spokeswoman for Texas Gov. with vast experience in Rick Perry, said the killing is the dangerous area of a reminder of the need for greater border protection. northern Mexico.

Mexican town’s police quit after colleagues beheaded BY MARK WALSH

Associated Press

MONTERREY, Mexico — The police chief and all 38 police ofﬁcers of a northeastern Mexican town have quit following a series of drug cartel attacks, including the decapitation of two of their colleagues. Soldiers, state and federal police had been deployed to patrol General Teran, a town along a notorious drugsmuggling route to the U.S. border, said Mayor Ramon Villagomez. The police quit after the discovery Wednesday of the mutilated bodies of two ofﬁcers who had been kidnapped by gunmen two days earlier.

The killings followed three attacks on the police headquarters since December. Gunmen hurled grenades and sprayed the building with machine-gun fire. Villagomez said another police officer has been missing for weeks in the town of 14,500 people southwest of the industrial city of Monterrey. Mass police resignations have been common in small towns in Mexico. Municipal police complain they are outnumbered and outgunned by Mexico’s brutal drug cartels, who frequently stage bold attacks on security forces with semiautomatic assault rifles and grenades.

Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon has introduced a proposal in Congress to dissolve Mexico’s more than 2,000 municipal police forces. They would be replaced by a single force for each of Mexico’s 31 states. Municipal police are generally underpaid susceptible to corruption. Many have only an elementary school education. In some towns, police have protested that they lack bullets and ﬂak jackets. Villagomez said General Teran’s ofﬁcers earned around 9,200 pesos ($760) per month.

Colombia formally requests Israel to extradite mercenary BY FRANK BAJAK

Associated Press

BOGOTA — Colombia asked Israel to extradite former Israeli army Lt. Col. Yair Klein, who was convicted by a Colombian court and sentenced in absentia to nearly 11 years in prison for training drug lords’ assassins in the late 1980s. “The evidence [against Klein] is conclusive,” Interior Minister German Vargas told a news conference on Thursday, saying the formal request had been made in Tel Aviv by Colombia’s Embassy there. “For the Colombian government it is essential that this sentence is completed and that this citizen clarify his participation in the organization and training of these groups.” A spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Bogota said it would have no comment on the extradition request. Colombia lacks an extradition treaty with Israel. In Israel, Klein and his attorney told The Associated Press that Klein’s life would be in danger if he were imprisoned in Colombia. “Colombia is trying malevolently and without any legal basis to have Klein extradited even though he has done nothing wrong,” said the lawyer, Mordechai Tzivin. “They tried me in absentia. They are persecuting me. Everything they say

is delusional,” Klein told the AP. He has threatened to reveal the names of senior Colombian officials he says invited him to organize military training in 1988-89 for what he said he understood to be peasants who were creating self-defense units to protect themselves against leftist rebel extortion and kidnapping. But he refused in a December interview with the AP to name those officials. He also reiterated his claim he was unaware that the trainees included employees of cocaine lords including the late Pablo Escobar. Klein was convicted in Colombia of criminal conspiracy in 2001 for organizing training by Israeli mercenaries in “military tactics and techniques” including bomb-making for gunmen employed by ranchers and drug traffickers. Some of the trainees would go on to commit some of Colombia’s most heinous massacres. As well, U.S. and British investigations determined two decades ago that Klein was also involved in smuggling 400 Galil assault rifles and 100 Uzi submachine guns bought from Israeli into Colombia in 1989 when his plans to create a mercenary-ran training camp on the Caribbean island of Antigua unraveled. Nearly half of those weap-

ons were found in December 1989 on the ranch of Colombian drug kingpin Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha, who had just been slain after a massive manhunt. Klein denies any involvement in the arms smuggling. However, an Israeli court convicted him in 1991 of illegally selling military expertise to the Colombians without a license and the unlawful sale of equipment including weapons and nightgun scopes. He got a one-year suspended sentence and was ﬁned $13,400. Klein also spent 16 months in a Sierra Leone prison in 1999 for his alleged role in a guns-for-diamonds deal. Vargas noted Thursday that Klein oversaw the military training of private armies at the very moment Colombia’s far-right “paramilitary” militias were being formed. Those militias — built in large part with drug-trafﬁcking proceeds — have killed thousands and stolen millions of acres in land over the past three decades. Arrested in Moscow in 2007, Klein spent three years in a Moscow prison on a Colombian extradition request before being freed in November after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Colombia could not guarantee his physical safety owing to its poor human rights record. Colombia disputes that contention.

Challenger: still a painful wound • CHALLENGER, FROM 1A

the age when the whole world knew what happened as it happened.” “That was kind of our pilot study for all the rest to come, I think. It was so ghastly,” said Sally Karioth, a professor in Florida State University’s school of nursing. The crew compartment shot out of the fireball, intact, and continued upward another three miles before plummeting. The free fall lasted more than two minutes. There was no parachute to slow the descent, no escape system whatsoever; NASA had skipped all that in shuttle development. Space travel was considered so ordinary, in fact, that the Challenger seven wore little more than blue coveralls and skimpy motorcycle-type helmets for takeoff. In a horrific flash, the most diverse space crew ever — including one black, one Japanese-American and two women, one of them a Jew — was gone. The name of NASA’s second oldest shuttle was forever locked in a where-were-you moment. “You say ‘Challenger’ and then we see that figure of smoke in the sky,” said Karioth, who teaches death and dying classes. There has been a growing list of calamities since then. Waco. Oklahoma City. Columbine. 9/11. Shuttle Columbia. Katrina. Virginia Tech. And now, Tucson. With so much carnage, another space catastrophe wouldn’t have the same impact as Challenger, Karioth noted. “We’re used to everybody dying now,” she said. The death of a young, vivacious schoolteacher, combined with NASA’s stubborn refusal to share information about the accident and the realization that the U.S. space program was fallible, added to the nation’s collective pain. President Ronald Reagan’s poetic tribute soothed the day’s raw emotions. “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives,” Reagan told a grieving nation after canceling that night’s State of the Union address. “We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their

The space agency wanted to pull off 15 missions in 1986. Repeated delays with Columbia on that year’s first flight and then with Challenger were spoiling the effort. The first federal Martin Luther King holiday had just been observed. NASA’s Voyager 2 probe, flying farther than any previous spacecraft, had swung past Uranus, discovering 10 new moons. “That’s What Friends Are For,” the AIDS charity anthem, topped the music charts. And a 37year-old schoolteacher from Concord, N.H., was about to rocket into orbit. “Imagine a history teacher making history,” McAuliffe observed before the flight. She got an apple from a technician atop the ice-encrusted launch pad, before boarding Challenger one final time. In the 20s at daybreak, the temperature had risen only into the mid-30s by the time Challenger blasted off at 11:38 a.m. “Go at throttle

What happened next was unthinkable, his widow says. “It was really a shock wave that went across our country and around the world,” June Scobee Rodgers said in an interview this week with The Associated Press. “People witnessed the loss of Challenger over and over on their televisions.” Dick Scobee.

Seventeen years later, almost to the day, seven more astronauts were killed, this time at the end of their mission. Instead of booster rockets and freezing launch weather, fuel-tank foam insulation was to blame. The similarities between Challenger and Columbia, though, were haunting. Another multiethnic crew lost, more poor decision-making, an intolerant work culture, drum-beating pressure to launch. This week, as NASA observes the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster, the shuttle ﬂeet is grounded

once more. Fuel tank cracking is the latest culprit. NASA hopes to get Discovery flying by the end of February. Endeavour — Challenger’s replacement — will follow in April. It will fly with or without commander Mark Kelly, who’s tending to his wounded wife, Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot Jan. 8 in Tucson. Atlantis will close out the 30-year shuttle program with a summertime flight, No. 135. Shuttle program manager John Shannon prefers not “to compare and contrast” the Challenger era and now. But he points out that he’s felt “zero pressure” to rush the remaining flights, even though “we kind of get beat up a little bit” in some quarters for all the delays. Roger Launius, a senior curator at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, says: “When we look back 50 years from now on the shuttle program, we are going to view it as this remarkable technological achievement. The one and only reusable human space vehicle in the world. And it had a remarkable run for 30 years. Some tragedies along the way, but enormous successes as well.” For their part, the families of the lost Challenger crew dwell on the good that came out of the accident: a network of education centers. The 48th Challenger Learning Center opens Friday in Louisville, Ky. Rodgers, an educator, was the founding board chairman of the Challenger Center for Space Science Education. As she has on every Challenger anniversary, Rodgers will visit a learning center to watch the children in action. First, she will take part in NASA’s public memorial service Friday morning at Kennedy Space Center, some 10 miles from Challenger’s grave. The remains of the spacecraft — what was retrieved from the ocean — are buried in a pair of abandoned missile silos on Air Force property. “I wonder if it’s because the image is so ingrained in our brains, that it seems like yesterday,” Rodgers said.

Fugitive held 31 years after skipping trial BY JAY WEAVER

McClatchy News Service

MIAMI — Before the Cocaine Cowboys, there was the Black Tuna Gang. The Miami-based marijuana-smuggling ring retroﬁtted yachts to smuggle maximum loads, even painting fake water lines on the hulls to create the illusion they weren’t weighed down with tons of pot. Their boat supplier: Mark Steven Phillips, arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service on Thursday in West Palm Beach — more than 31 years after he skipped out of a federal trial in Miami. Phillips, 62, was captured in his rented apartment at Century Village, a senior community where he had been living in recent months, authorities said. “The judge wants to see you, Mark,” a deputy marshal told Phillips after rousting him out of bed. “The judge wants to see me, from 30 years ago,” Phillips responded, according to the Marshals Service. Phillips was charged in May 1979 along with 13 others in what was then the nation’s biggest marijuana importation prosecution in history — before cocaine turned Miami into a murder capital. The sobriquet “Black Tuna Gang” was derived from the radio name for the group’s Colombian source for marijuana. “They were the drug stars of their time, precursors to the cartel kingpins,” said Thomas Raffanello, former special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Miami before retiring in 2004. “They went out and established ties with the foreign trafﬁckers. They were ahead of their time.” Phillips and the other Black Tuna defendants were tried before U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King, who is still on the bench.

Phillips was convicted in absentia on racketeering, possession and distribution charges in February 1980. At his first court appearance in decades Thursday afternoon, a pale and bald Phillips wore a beige longsleeved shirt, light-green shorts and tan sandals — along with shackles around his wrists, ankles and waist. Phillips, who faces sentencing for the racketeering PHILLIPS conviction and adjudication of fugitive charges, told U.S. Magistrate Edwin Torres that he has no property, $600 in a bank account and receives $667 in monthly Social Security benefits. “I’m retired,” he told Torres, saying he couldn’t afford a lawyer. So the magistrate appointed one for him, at taxpayer expense. “Your honor, I would like to say something,” he added. “I have no valid passport. Nothing but a bicycle, but I’m not going anywhere.” A joint DEA/FBI task force in Miami that took down the Black Tuna Gang estimated the ring smuggled 500 tons of marijuana into the United States in the mid-’70s. The case was the first combined investigation by the two agencies into the drug profits behind the marijuana trade. The gang operated, at least briefly, from a suite in Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau Hotel, according to the DEA. The Tunas invested in sportfishing boats, particularly Fort Lauderdale-based Striker Aluminum Yachts. Phillips’ family owned the company. The grass was unloaded at a series of waterfront “stash houses” in posh neighborhoods.

Bill would provide MTV defends series as advertisers pull out Obama’s birth information for fee BY STUART ELLIOTT AND BRIAN STELTER

New York Times Service

BY MARK NIESSE

Associated Press

HONOLULU — Anyone would be able to get a copy of U.S. President Barack Obama’s birth records for a $100 fee under a bill introduced in the state Legislature that backers hope will finally dispel claims he was born elsewhere. The bill would change a privacy law barring the release of birth records unless the requester is someone with a tangible interest, such as a close family member. The measure was introduced by five Democrats but has not yet been scheduled for a public hearing, a required step before it can move forward. A decision on considering the bill will be made by the House’s Democratic leadership and committee chairmen. The idea behind the measure is to end skepticism over Obama’s birthplace while raising a little money for a government with a projected budget deficit exceeding $800 million over the next two years. “If it passes, it will calm the birthers down,” said the bill’s primary sponsor, Rep. Rida Cabanilla. “All these people are still doubting it because they don’t want the birth certificate from Obama. They want it from our state office.” So-called “birthers” claim there’s no proof Obama was born in the United States, and he is therefore ineligible

29PGA05.indd 5

to be president. Many of the skeptics question whether he was actually born in Kenya, his father’s home country. The Obama campaign issued a certification of live birth in 2008, an official document from the state showing the president’s Aug. 4, 1961, birth date, his birth city and name, and his parents’ names and races. Hawaii’s former health director also has said she verified Obama’s original records. And notices were published in two local newspapers within days of his birth at a Honolulu hospital. Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who was a friend of Obama’s parents and knew him as a child, said last month he wanted to release more of the state’s birth information about Obama. But he ended the effort last week when the state attorney general told him that privacy laws bar disclosure of an individual’s birth documentation without the person’s consent. The new legislation to release records may run into similar legal problems because of Hawaii’s strong constitutional privacy protections, said Rep. John Mizuno, a co-sponsor of the bill. “If people really want to confirm Barack Obama is born in Hawaii, that’s fine,” Mizuno said. “I don’t have a problem with looking at innovative ways to bring revenue to the state. The taxpayers deserve a break.”

At least a half-dozen advertisers have publicly distanced themselves from MTV’s new series Skins since the sexual content of the series came under scrutiny last week. General Motors, the Wm. Wrigley Jr. division of Mars, the Taco Bell division of Yum Brands, H&R Block, the Schick division of Energizer Holdings, and Subway restaurants have all withdrawn from the series. Others that were in the debut episode on Jan. 17 were not back in the second episode on Monday, among them Foot Locker. Meanwhile, MTV suffered a sharp drop in ratings for the second episode, to 1.6 million viewers from 3.3 million the ﬁrst week. The ﬁrst week’s ratings were helped by a lead-in audience from a Jersey Shore episode. MTV has continued to defend the series publicly, and a spokeswoman said Thursday that all 10 episodes would be broadcast. The channel has not directly commented on its plans to edit some of the more explicit scenes featuring actors younger than 18. Concerns were raised last week inside MTV about whether the scenes could violate federal child pornography statutes. Citing those legal concerns, the conservative TV watchdog group the Parents Television Council pressured the show’s sponsors to remove their advertisements. In a telephone interview Tuesday, Stephen Friedman,

CROSSING LIMITS? This publicity image released by MTV shows a scene from the adolescent drama Skins, which premiered Jan. 17. the general manager of MTV, said it was not surprising that some advertisers were not interested in being associated with the show. On the other hand, he added, “there are a lot of studios, video game companies and other networks and channels that want to be in.” For the remaining episodes of Skins, Friedman said, MTV was considering reconﬁguring the length and contents of the commercial breaks, known in the industry as pods. For instance, he said, there could be what he called a “full-pod takeover” by a movie studio, so that all the spots inside a single

pod or break would be from the same studio, or there would be one long spot from a studio in a pod rather than several spots from various advertisers. Friedman said that in this case, like others, sponsors who object to their spots running in a show have their commercial time transferred to other shows on the MTV schedule. Mediapost.com and Adweek.com counted 16 movie spots in the Monday episode, some of which ran more than once — a telltale sign of a show that has problems with advertisers aware of cries that they are supporting content that is deemed too sexual, blasphemous or

salacious. The advertisers were overwhelmingly movie studios. MTV also ran a hefty slate of promotional spots for other shows on the channel, along with some of its own public service announcements. Bryan Elsley, a co-creator of Skins, has defended the show, most recently in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. He said Skins is “the opposite of pornography.” “It isn’t us who are being provocative,” he said. “I think that some of the people who object to the show are being provocative in the use of that word.”

BEST WISHES: Children raise their arms against a wall of ‘Get Well’ wishes for Nelson Mandela who has spent the last three days at a hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa.

S. Africa calms fears over Mandela BY DONNA BRYSON Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela was starting his third day in a Johannesburg hospital Friday, but the South African government says there is no need to panic. In a statement late Thursday, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe offered no speciﬁcs on why Mandela, 92, was taken to the hospital Wednesday, but said he was undergoing specialized tests. Motlanthe, acting president while President Jacob Zuma attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and then headed to a weekend African Union summit in Ethiopia,

referred to Mandela’s history of respiratory problems. Mandela contracted tuberculosis during his 27 years in prison. “There has been mounting concern about the health of the former President Nelson Mandela,” Motlanthe said. “Medically there is no need to panic.” Motlanthe was to brief reporters on Mandela’s health later Friday. Motlanthe’s statement was the ﬁrst substantive word on Mandela’s condition since he entered Milpark Hospital Wednesday. Mandela’s ofﬁce released only a brief statement Wednesday, saying the visit was for routine tests and that Mandela was in “no danger and is in

good spirits.” The relative silence surrounding Mandela’s hospitalization had led to speculation about his condition. Mandela undergoes regular hospital checkups, but his latest visit has stretched into an unusually long stay. Journalists have been camped outside the hospital and outside his Johannesburg home. At the hospital, they have watched Mandela’s relatives and friends enter for visits. Zuma was being updated while abroad by the defense minister, whose department is responsible for current and former presidents’ healthcare, Zuma’s ofﬁce said. The White House said U.S. President Barack Obama and ﬁrst lady Mi-

chelle Obama’s thoughts are with Mandela. Mandela was jailed for 27 years for his fight against apartheid. He became South Africa’s first black president in 1994 and stepped down after serving one term in 1999. He largely retired from public life in 2004. The public has seen only glimpses of him recently, such as in November, when his office released photos of a private meeting between Mandela and members of the U.S. and South African soccer teams. The teams had just played a match in his honor. Mandela also appeared at the closing ceremony of the World Cup in July, waving to the crowd as he was driven in a small golf cart alongside his wife, Graca Machel.

LAHORE, Pakistan — A U.S. consular employee in Pakistan alleged to have shot dead two gunmen who may have been intent on robbing him could face criminal charges, police said Friday, in a case that may inflame anti-U.S. anger in the country. A third Pakistani was killed in the incident Thursday in the bustling city of Lahore, allegedly after being hit by a U.S. vehicle rushing to the aid of the official. Police officer Umar Saeed said Friday the U.S. official had told officers he had withdrawn money from an ATM shortly before the incident, raising the possibility the two men were following him. Others Pakistani officers have said the men were likely robbers and both were carrying pistols. The issue of U.S. diplomats or their security detail carrying weapons inside Pakistan was a hot-button subject last year among certain politicians and sections of the media purportedly worried about the country’s sovereignty. Many Pakistanis regard the United States with suspicion or outright enmity because of its occupation of neighboring Afghanistan and regular missile attacks against militant targets in the northwest. “ ‘American Rambo’ goes berserk in Lahore,’ ” read the headline in The Nation, a right-wing newspaper that frequently publishes unsourced anti-U.S. conspiracy theories. Western diplomats travel with armed guards in many parts of Pakistan because of the risk of militant at-

tack. Lahore has seen frequent terrorist bombings and shootings over the last two years, though the city’s small expatriate population has not been directly targeted. The Express Tribune in an editorial said it was reasonable for Western diplomats to travel armed, but noted that in the United States shooting in self-defense can result in a conviction, especially if it can be proved that the accused used excessive force. Lahore police chief Aslam Tareen said the U.S. official was being questioned by the police and may be charged with both murder and illegally carrying a weapon, a Beretta pistol. “Diplomatic staff usually enjoy a certain type of immunity, but I am not sure about murder,” he said. “We will consult the Foreign Office and legal advisors in this regard.” Police officer Riasat Ali said one of the victim’s brothers had registered a criminal case against the U.S. official, a necessary step for the police to begin an investigation. Robbers on motorbikes pulling up alongside cars and holding them up is quite a common crime in Pakistani cities. U.S. visitors and other foreigners have also been frequently targeted by Islamist militants. In the northwestern city of Peshawar in 2008, gunmen shot and killed a U.S. aid worker as he drove to work. Suspected militants also opened fire on the vehicle of the top U.S. diplomat in the city the same year, but she survived the attack.

Kim Jong Il opposed succession in N. Korea, his son says SEOUL, South Korea — (AP) — The eldest son of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Il said in an interview published Friday that his father opposed continuing the family dynasty into a third generation but ended up naming his youngest son as heir to keep the country stable. The comments by Kim Jong Nam, portrayed in the media as a casino-loving playboy, were published in a Japanese newspaper just as North Korea proposed holding parliamentary talks with South Korea — its latest diplomatic overture after months of animosity. A senior U.S. envoy also

held high-level talks in China on Friday on ways to deal with North Korea, and Russian and South Korean nuclear envoys held discussions in Seoul. Kim Jong Il is preparing his country for a leadership change, apparently to his youngest son Kim Jong Un, and some analysts have linked two violent incidents last year to an attempt to display the younger Kim’s bravery to North Korea’s military and bolster his legitimacy as the next leader. Hereditary succession “does not ﬁt with socialism, and my father was against it as well,” the Tokyo Shim-

bun quoted Kim Jong Nam as saying in an interview in a southern Chinese city in mid-January. “My understanding is that [succession] was to stabilize the internal system. An unstable North Korea leads to instability in the region.” Kim Jong Nam is believed to have fallen out of favor after embarrassing the North Korean government in 2001 when he was caught trying to enter Japan on a fake passport, saying he wanted to visit Tokyo Disneyland. He favors newsboy caps and Ferragamo loafers, frequents ﬁve-star hotels and expen-

Peace deal was close in 2008, Israel’s former leader writes BY ETHAN BRONNER

New York Times Service

JERUSALEM — Ehud Olmert, the former prime minister of Israel, says in new memoirs that he and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestine’s president, were very close to a peace deal two years ago, but Abbas’ hesitation, Olmert’s legal troubles and the Israeli war in Gaza caused their talks to end. Shortly afterward, a right-wing Israeli government came to power. In excerpts from the memoirs published Thursday in the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, and in an interview with The New York Times, Olmert provides details on negotiations that have been the focus of attention and Arab anger this week because of leaks to the Al Jazeera television network of Palestinian documents with minutes from related meetings. The leaks may well make it harder for concessions to be offered in the future. Olmert said the two sides had agreed on key principles: The state of Palestine would have no military; a

U.S.-led international security force, not Israeli soldiers, would be stationed on its border with Jordan; Jerusalem would be shared, with its holy sites overseen by a mulOLMERT tinational committee; and a limited number of Palestinian refugees would be permitted back into what is now Israel, while the rest would be generously compensated. The two agreed that Israel could keep some land in the West Bank on which settlements had been built but disagreed over how much. Olmert wanted 6.5 percent of the area but would go as low as 5.9 percent; Abbas offered 1.9 percent. In a separate interview, Abbas conﬁrmed most of Olmert’s account. Both said they hoped at the time that U.S. proposals would settle the differences. “We need the Americans

to bridge the gaps in a fair way,” Abbas said, speaking a week ago in Amman, Jordan. The interviews with Olmert and Abbas were conducted by Bernard Avishai, a writer under contract with The New York Times Magazine, two days before the leaked Palestinian documents were published by Al Jazeera and the British newspaper The Guardian. Avishai’s article is scheduled to be published in The Times Magazine next month. Abbas ended his interview saying that U.S. President Barack Obama had promised the framework of a Palestinian state by this September, yet negotiations had stopped because of disagreement over settlement building, and he would not stay in his job beyond then without progress. “I am committed to peace, but not forever,” Abbas said. “I don’t mean I will turn to violence — never. In my life, I will never do it. But I cannot stay in my ofﬁce forever doing nothing.”

He said he wants his half brother “to become a leader who is respected by people.” “I want him to take over the great works my father has done. I want him to enrich people’s lives,” he said in the interview. “Those are my honest wishes for my brother. They did not mean to challenge or criticize him.” He declined to comment on the health of his father, who reportedly suffered a stroke in 2008, but said he

He also said that North Korea’s strength comes from nuclear weapons, and that as long as North Korea confronts the United States, it is very unlikely to give up its atomic programs. Meanwhile, the North’s Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Reuniﬁcation of Korea proposed Friday that lawmakers from the two Koreas talk to overcome the “grave situation” on the divided peninsula. It did not elaborate. South Korea quickly dismissed the idea, saying

that the two sides were already discussing a meeting to plan high-level defense talks. Uniﬁcation Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung called the proposal “a routine offensive that lacks sincerity.” The Koreas have been in a standoff following the North’s shelling of a South Korean island in November and its alleged attack on a South Korean warship last March. “Dialogue and negotiations are the only way for averting a war,” North Korea said in a statement carried by its ofﬁcial Korean Central News Agency.

Ugandan gay rights activist killed BY JEFFREY GETTLEMAN

New York Times Service

NAIROBI, Kenya — David Kato knew he was a marked man. As the most outspoken gay rights advocate in a country where homophobia is so severe that Parliament is considering a bill to execute gay people, Kato had received a stream of death threats, his friends said. A few months ago, a Ugandan newspaper ran an antigay diatribe with Kato’s picture on the front page under a banner urging, “Hang Them.” On Wednesday afternoon, Kato was beaten to death with a hammer in his roughand-tumble neighborhood. Police ofﬁcials were quick to chalk up the motive to robbery, but members of the small and increasingly besieged gay community in Uganda suspect otherwise. “David’s death is a result of the hatred planted in Uganda by U.S. evangelicals in 2009,” Val Kalende, chairwoman of one of Uganda’s gay rights groups, said in a statement. “The Ugandan government and the so-called U.S. evangelicals must take responsibility for David’s blood.”

Kalende was referring to visits in March 2009 by a group of U.S. evangelicals, who held rallies and workshops in Uganda discussing how to turn gay people straight, how gay men sodomized teenage boys and how “the gay movement is an evil institution” intended to KATO “defeat the marriagebased society.” The evangelicals involved said they had no intention of stoking a violent reaction. But the antigay bill was drafted shortly thereafter. Some of the Ugandan politicians and preachers who wrote it had attended those sessions and said that they had discussed the legislation with the U.S. visitors. Many Africans view homosexuality as an immoral Western import, and the continent is full of harsh homophobic laws. In northern Nigeria, gay men can face death by stoning. In Kenya, which is considered one of the more Westernized nations

in Africa, gay people can be sentenced to years in prison. But Uganda seems to be on the front lines of this battle. Conservative Christian groups that espouse antigay beliefs have made great headway in this country and wield considerable inﬂuence. James Nsaba Buturo, Uganda’s minister of ethics and integrity, who describes himself as a devout Christian, has said, “Homosexuals can forget about human rights.” Judith Nabakooba, a police spokeswoman, said Kato’s death “looks like theft, as some things were stolen.” But Nikki Mawanda, a friend who was born female and lives as a man, said: “This is a clear signal. You don’t know who’s going to do it to you.” Kato was in his mid-40s, his friends said. He was a fast talker, ﬁdgety, bespectacled, slightly built and constantly checking over his shoulder, even in the envelope of darkness of an empty lot near a disco, where he was interviewed in 2009. He said then that he wanted to be a “good human rights defender, not a dead one, but an alive one.”

Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Burke BY DAVID BROOKS

New York Times Service

veryThursday my gurus, Mr. Burke and Mr. Hamilton, get together at the Heavenly Rest to drink and talk politics. Burke prefers a whiskey and water, while Hamilton likes a good strong Sex on the Beach. This week, they ended up talking about U.S. President Barack Obama. Burke: I congratulate you. Your president is most prudent and wise. He has decided to focus on three things: education reform, infrastructure investment and scientiﬁc innovation. He’s not wasting money on desperate schemes to pump up the employment rate before the next elections. He’s thinking about the longterm prosperity of the United States. Moreover, his State of the Union address demonstrated an admirable sense of moderation and continuity. His competitiveness initiatives build intelligently on the ones President Bill Clinton spoke of in 1996 and the ones President George W. Bush mentioned in 2006. They also demonstrate an exquisite realism. With your nation so divided, he has plucked out the proposals on which there is some agreement. By working together on these things now, your leaders can establish the trust necessary to tackle bigger and tougher issues during Obama’s second term. Hamilton: You’re mad, Burke! Obama has completely misread the national situation. The United States is careening toward disaster. The deﬁcit this year is the highest in history: $1.48 trillion. In a mere eight years, the national debt will hit 90 percent of GDP. Interest payments alone on the debt will be $1 trillion! And he goes before the country with nostalgic happy talk and decides to spend the next two years treading water? He pats himself on the back

for a spending freeze projected to save $400 billion over 10 years. That’s an infinitesimal sliver of the $45 trillion the government will be spending over that time. Is he aware of the national bankruptcy rushing ever closer? Doesn’t he see that the nation wants a fundamental change in Washington, not a few more tax credits for solar panels? Obama is going BROOKS to go down in history as the Nero who fiddled as Rome burned. He reformed healthcare without changing the ruinous incentives that were bankrupting the system. He submitted budgets that hastened the national collapse. The Republicans accuse him of being a socialist, but, the fact is, he’s Mr. Status Quo. Burke: My dear sir. He’s an officeholder, not a think-tank Johnny. I know intellectuals are perpetually exercised by the crisis du jour, but the current deficits are not really that big. A tad more revenue and a normal bit of spending restraint will take care of them. Besides, look at Japan and Europe. They’re in much worse fiscal shape. The world is happy to keep lending you money. Obama has to deal with the country as it is. The electorate does not want entitlement cuts, which is why even the Republicans don’t dare mention the word “Medicare” except to promise even more money for it. Do you know how many Republican activists support Medicare reforms? According to a survey by Conservative Home, it is 3 percent! I’d say Obama is a practical realist, building gradually on the country’s present prosperity, not venturing out rashly in the grip of some abstract plan.

Hamilton: You vastly underestimate the structural problems leading to slowing growth rates, higher unemployment and higher inequality. I advise you to read Tyler Cowen’s new e-book, The Great Stagnation, in which he argues that the United States has already picked the low-hanging economic fruit and now face an entire set of difﬁcult decisions. You also underestimate the dysfunction of the U.S. government. We’re in the middle of a global race to see who can most intelligently reform the welfare state. The Simpson-Bowles commission put everything on the table, and far from seizing the opportunity to lead a national discussion on big things like fundamental tax and entitlement reform, he gave them the most cursory of mentions. Besides, where is his vision? Is his entire philosophy encapsulated in the phrase, “Light Rail?” Does he realize that by being so modest he is ceding all momentum to the Republicans in Congress? Burke: Ideologies are for theoreticians. Obama will emerge as the mature moderate while the Republicans will seem unstable and dangerous. He will talk about realistic concrete improvements, like higher teacher salaries, while the Republicans will talk of unpopular and devastating spending cuts that never materialize. He will be optimistic while they will offer austerity and alarm. Have you seen that only 34 percent of U.S. citizens approve of the GOP agenda, according to a PSRA/Pew poll. Hamilton: You are wrong. Obama talks of a Sputnik moment as if NASA were a model for the future. He will be regarded as the embodiment of a government that is no longer working. As the unemployment rate hovers around 9 percent, and as problems accumulate, he will come to realize that he has sealed his doom.

Obama’s visit may lead to a U.S.-Brazil honeymoon BY ANDRES OPPENHEIMER

aoppenheimer@herald.com

.S. President Barack Obama’s announcement that he will visit Brazil, Chile and El Salvador in March — in what will be his first trip to South America — could result in an improvement in Brazil-U.S. ties following a significant downturn over the past two years. Obama announced in his State of the Union address to Congress Tuesday that he will visit the three countries as part of his efforts to strengthen ties with Latin America. The five-day visit is likely to take place in the second half of March.

An emerging power There is little question that Brazil, the world’s eighth largest economy and an emerging global power, will be the most important leg of Obama’s trip. Tensions between Brazil and Washington rose during the last two years of former Brazilian President Luiz InÍcio Lula da Sil-

29PGA07.indd 7

va’s administration over, among other things, Brazil’s diplomatic support of Iran. But now, after the Jan. 1 inauguration of Lula da Silva’s handpicked successor, Dilma Rousseff, a former leftist guerrilla who served as his chief of staff, U.S. ofﬁcials are hopeful that they will be able to rebuild bilateral ties. In a telephone interview, Dan OPPENHEIMER Restrepo, senior White House advisor on Western Hemisphere affairs, told me that Rousseff “has made quite clear in her public statements that she is looking forward to continuing and strengthening our ties. One of the reasons we are going to Brazil this early in her presidency is that we see an opportunity to continue and deepen the relationship at the highest level.” Restrepo did not elaborate, but other Brazil watchers see several signs that Rousseff ’s foreign poli-

cy may be less hostile to Washington than her predecessor’s was in his last years in power. Among the signs: l Rousseff has taken distance from Lula da Silva’s diplomatic love affair with Iran. Among other things, she did not endorse his failed mediation effort over Iran’s nuclear program, and suggested that she doesn’t agree with her predecessor’s decision not to condemn Iran’s human rights abuses. l Brazilian and U.S. ofﬁcials have cooperated more closely in recent weeks in trying to resolve Haiti’s political crisis stemming from the country’s disputed November elections, according to U.S. diplomats familiar with the negotiations. l The new Brazilian president picked Antonio Patriota, a respected former Brazilian ambassador to Washington, as her foreign minister. Patriota indicated in a recent speech that Brazil will continue strengthening ties with other developing countries, but “not at the expense” of worsen-

ing ties with the United States and Europe. l Rousseff is said to have been moved by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s decision to attend her inauguration ceremony on Jan. 1, despite the fact that Clinton had to board her plane at dawn with little time to rest after New Year’s Eve celebrations. ‘Signs of change’ “There are clear signs of change in Brazil regarding an effort to reconnect with the United States,” said Paulo Sotero, head of the Brazil program at the Washington, D.C.-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. “This is a new moment in the relationship, following the episodes that had caused so much damage over the past two years.” U.S. ofﬁcials say that in Brazil, Obama will discuss cooperation plans on clean energy, reconstruction aid for Haiti, and citizens’ security, including U.S. offers to share know-how on security is-

sues in anticipation of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics in the South American country. My opinion: I was surprised to hear that during his trip, Obama will not stop in Colombia, the closest U.S. ally in the region in recent years. U.S. officials tell me that that’s because Obama will attend the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, in April 2012, and will most likely stay on for an official visit to that country. Maybe so. For the time being, all eyes of the region’s diplomatic community will be on Obama’s visit to Brazil. There won’t be any dramatic change and Brazil will continue its policy of developing ties with the Third World as a way to consolidate itself as a new global power. But considering Brazil’s weight in the region, even a small move toward closer ties with Washington will have a significant impact on U.S.-Latin American relations.

A French women’s magazine editor, hearing that I had spent the weekend at the fall men’s shows, reacted as if I had been marooned in an airport. She shuddered at the thought. “I don’t like going to men’s shows,” she said. “They’re too ridiculous.” Her husband would never be caught dead in some of those get-ups. Paris is full of wonderful men’s shops; there seem to be streets with nothing but small tailors and shoemakers, and they would restrain a man from putting on a black lambskin jumpsuit, a style that Hermes, of all establishments, showed this season. My German editor friends, no strangers to lederhosen, were puzzled that Veronique Nichanian, the Hermes designer, made such a statement with leather. (There were trousers, too, as well as chunky, three-quarter-length coats.) I admit that I was surprised, too. It didn’t seem consistent with the Hermes image of quiet luxury. The usual explanation for this kind of change is that it’s modern. But what’s modern about black leather pants? In a different cut, the jumpsuit could have been a Versace. A more plausible explanation is that Hermes wants more of those brand-driven customers with money to throw around, and is willing to strain its image to get them. For years, the Paris men’s collections have provided relief from Milan’s commercial steamroller. Some of that relief is purely and deliberately comic, like Jean Paul Gaultier’s trashy James Blonde show (featuring the latest crossover model, Andrej Pejic, in heels and a slinky cocktail dress), but some of it is creative and the best is always effortlessly relevant. The strongest collections this season were by Raf Simons and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, with worthwhile looks by Dries Van Noten,

especially his take on uniforms, and Lanvin, with its toughened elegance. But despite the trappings of big shows and virtuoussounding references, many labels seem creatively empty. Either designers don’t know how to relate their designs to the street so that those ideas feel urgent, or, more likely, they are tranquilized by the luxury brands they serve. Whatever the explanation, the ideas expressed in the collections of Yves Saint Laurent, Dior Homme and Thom Browne seemed very slight — more noise than substance, especially from the United States’ Browne, who staged

Plain, ﬂuid, monochromatic clothes were a trend of the shows, offered by Rick Owens, Kris Van Assche of Dior, and Louis Vuitton, where the designer Paul Helbers mimicked Amish simplicity. One could make a case that these styles give the wearer a kind of invisibility and are a response to psychological pressures of the times. But they may just reveal a lack of ideas, a profound sense of inertia. As everybody knows, this has been a winter in Europe

Many educated young people, as well as tens of thousands of immigrant poor, question whether the dream of a better life will be available to them. I hate, hate, the idea that the dream will ﬁnd its greatest proselytizers in bland luxury products and their promoters. Don’t get me wrong — people deserve to have nice things, and the industry provides employment. But fashion also has a creative responsibility to reﬂect these chaotic times, to oppose the status quo. It is as though a lot of designers at luxury brands have swallowed a pill or something. That’s why I was impressed with Tisci’s Givenchy show. Though romantic in part, with its dark and densely layered furs and knits — and its superbly diverse casting by Daniel Peddle and Drew Dasent — it had a chilling edge that made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was those black and tartan tops with a pattern formed by images of snarling attack dogs. Maybe it was the tension between beautiful and coarse styles, which suggested to me different identities unrecognized by the fashion industry. Tisci doesn’t always get it right, but he is abundantly aware of movements beyond Avenue George V. A goal of Simons is to make his fashion believable in the street. It must expand our sense of what is possible in dressing — and this season he continued to explore shapes and fabrics more commonly associated with haute couture — but it must also be relevant. Throughout, there was a subtle play between men’s classics, like the stadium toggle coat and the anorak, and the roundness and loft that can be achieved in couture. Simons has become the young man’s guide to what’s cool in a suit. His were without trendy effect, like too-narrow lapels.

Egypt protests hit world markets

New York Times Service

MOSCOW — ExxonMobil once was poised to acquire a stake in Russia’s largest private oil company, only to have the deal fall apart when the Kremlin arrested the owner and the company went bankrupt. A few years ago BP was squeezed out by its Russian partners, and

its top executive was forced into hiding. Yet both Exxon and BP are back big in Russia. So are some other large oil companies, which ﬁnd the allure of Russian petroleum too strong to resist, whatever the political risks of dealing with the government or becoming partners with the country’s notoriously tough billionaires.

On Thursday, ExxonMobil, the United States’ largest oil company, signed a deal with the Russian state oil company, Rosneft, to explore offshore in the Black Sea. That came just two weeks after BP agreed to a share swap with Rosneft to form a joint venture to explore off the country’s ice-bound northern coast. Russia being Russia, though, BP

is already in trouble over the new deal. On Thursday, its wealthy Russian partners in a separate, private venture ﬁled an injunction in a London court to block BP’s $16 billion Rosneft agreement. Despite the risks, Russian oil is where the action is for the West. The country is now the world’s • TURN TO OIL, 2B

NEW YORK — Escalating protests in Egypt jarred world financial markets on Friday. Stocks fell while the dollar, Treasurys and gold rose as investors sought to reduce their exposure to risk. The Egyptian government’s response to widespread street protests unnerved investors. The military was deployed in an effort to quell the protests and the headquarters of the ruling party was on fire. Thousands of people defied a curfew, and Internet and cellphone service has been cut off. “The safety trade is back,” said Jeffrey Frankel, president of broker Stuart Frankel. “Gold is up. Oil is up. Anything related to overseas is getting hit.” Prices of Treasury bonds, considered one of the safest assets, rose sharply. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.33 percent from 3.38 percent late Thursday. Bond yields fall when their prices rise. The dollar rose 0.5 percent against an index of six other currencies as investors sought safety. Gold rose 1.7 percent to settle at $1,340.70 and crude oil rose 4.3 percent to $89.34 a barrel. The Egyptian stock market isn’t open on Fridays. The market’s main index fell 10.5 percent Thursday. The MSCI World Market index, the broadest measure of the world’s stock markets, slumped 1.4 percent. “Traders are watching this flare-up in the Middle East and using it as a reason to take profits,” said Doug Godine, managing director at Signal Hill, an investment bank. Of the 30 large company stocks that make up the Dow Jones industrial average, 28 fell. The two exceptions, Procter & Gamble and DuPont, were flat. The Dow fell 166.13 points, or 1.4 percent, to close at 11,823.70. The Dow lost 0.4 percent for the week after eight straight weeks of gains. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 23.20, or 1.8 percent, to 1,276.34. All 10 company groups within the S&P index fell. The S&P fell 0.5 percent for the week. The Nasdaq composite fell 68.39, or 2.5 percent, to 2,686.89. The index was not updated nearly an hour after the market opened due to technical problems. The Nasdaq lost 0.1 percent for the week. Five stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was high at 1.35 billion shares. Ford Motor Co sank 13 percent after its earnings fell short of Wall Street’s projections. Amazon.com fell 7 percent after reporting that higher costs cut down its profit margins. Microsoft Corp. lost 4 percent after it said that the profitability of its Windows division was falling. A lower than expected report on the U.S. economy helped lead to a market sell-off as well. The Commerce Department reported that U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 3.2 percent between October and December. That was below the 3.5 percent that analysts had forecast.

FIVE YEARS ON, MORALES’ BOLIVIAN REVOLUTION FALTERS BY CARLOS VALDEZ Associated Press

MORALES

LA PAZ, Bolivia — The ﬁery coca growers’ union leader who rode discontent over his predecessor’s pro-business policies to Bolivia’s presidency is suddenly grappling with a sharp drop in popularity. Ironically, Evo Morales’ troubles are related to his handling of the economy. The very “originarios,” or native people, who ensured the reelection of Bolivia’s ﬁrst indigenous leader a year ago with 64 percent of the vote are now echoing the complaints

of his longtime critics: Morales has bungled the economy, alienated foreign investors and favored political cronies over technocrats, they say. “The president thought that by putting ponchos and polleras [the petticoat-layered skirts indigenous women favor] in his Cabinet the country would run better, but that’s not the case,” Jimena Mendoza, 40, said as she queued up recently for sugar at a state-run store. In an Ipsos poll released earlier this month, Morales’ approval rating plummeted to 36 percent — a low point after ﬁve years in power. The plunge followed Morales’ attempt to lift subsidies on gasoline,

sugar and flour just after Christmas. In response, protesters had flooded into the streets, hurling stones at the headquarters of unions closely allied with the president and stoking street bon fires with portraits of him. Morales backed down — the 78 percent gas price increase was simply untenable. But the damage was done, as reflected in the poll of 1,080 people in four cities Jan. 6-11 that had a 3 percentage point error margin. The protest’s epicenter was El Alto, the teeming La Paz satellite that is a magnet for indigenous poor migrants from the countryside. • TURN TO BOLIVIA, 2B

Blowing whistle on healthcare fraud proves lucrative BY ANDREW ZAJAC

Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Last December, a specialty pharmacy in Florida enjoyed its best month ever — posting a hefty $168.7 million in revenues. But it wasn’t ﬁlling prescriptions that made VenA-Care of the Florida Keys such a success. Tiny Ven-A-Care has developed a lucrative niche market: blowing the whistle on drug companies that overcharge Medicare and Medicaid — and collecting tens of millions of dollars in reward money. Unlike most whistleblowers who help the government with one case after they encounter wrongdoing, Ven-A-Care has ﬁled suits alleging fraudulent conduct against dozens of drug companies supplying pharmacies and healthcare providers. The company’s whistleblowing essentially works like

this: The company conducts research, comparing the prices it paid for drugs with the prices reported by drug makers to the government for reimbursement. VenA-Care ﬁles suit, on behalf of the government, when it spots large discrepancies between the two sets of prices. The spreads can be dramatic. A 2005 California suit alleged that a 1-gram vial of the antibiotic vancomycin was sold to providers for $6.29, but billed to Medi-Cal for $58.37, while 50-milligram tablets of the blood-pressure medication atenolol were billed to pharmacies at $3.04 and to Medi-Cal at $70.30. “I think Ven-A-Care has played a key role and possibly the predominant role in alerting state and federal governments about — fraud,” said Nicholas Paul, a supervising deputy attorney general for the state of California, which ﬁled the 2005 suit

against 39 drug companies based on Ven-A-Care allegations. It has so far recovered about $95 million. Joined frequently by the Justice Department or a state, the suits have yielded a string of handsome returns to Ven-A-Care and even more to state and federal governments. Since 2000, the company has won settlements in at least 18 such suits. Three settlements announced last month brought the fees awarded the company and its attorneys since 2000 to more than $380 million. State and federal governments, meanwhile, have collected about $2.2 billion from those cases. They have also changed reimbursement practices in an effort to make it harder for healthcare providers to reap windfall profits from drugs. Both in recoveries for themselves and for taxpayers, Ven-A-Care’s partners

are apparently the most successful whistle-blowers in U.S. history. “They’re cleaning up a huge cesspool. Without their efforts, taxpayers would be gouged out of I don’t know how much money,” said L. Timothy Terry, an attorney and one-time Nevada state Medicaid fraud investigator who now represents whistle-blowers. The Obama administration has made combating healthcare fraud a priority, encouraging whistleblowers to come forward and opening a record number of new healthcare fraud cases. In 2010, federal prosecutors collected a record $2.5 billion via claims initiated by whistle-blowers, according to an announcement Monday by the Department of Health and Human Services. Ven-A-Care is not without its detractors. Some complain that their awards are too large.

“We’re spending tens of millions of dollars as a reward for information. The question is, ‘Is it necessary?’ ” said Michael Loucks, formerly an inﬂuential healthcare fraud federal prosecutor in Boston who oversaw numerous multimillion-dollar, whistle-blower-inspired settlements with drug companies. Loucks, now a defense attorney, said whistle-blower payments should be capped at $2 million. “Somebody will still blow the whistle,” he said. Ven-A-Care attorney Jim Breen said large settlements were necessary to cover the expenses of mounting suits. “If we’re capped, we could never do what we’ve done — we couldn’t return that amount of money to the government,” he said. “In my average case, I probably have at least two major law ﬁrms, plus local counsel, opposing me. Cases like this require you to marshal millions of dollars.”

Russian resource lures oil firms

Morales losing ground • BOLIVIA, FROM 1B

In 2003, El Alto was the locus of a popular uprising that toppled then-President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada after troops killed at least 63 people. That unrest ignited over what many considered the government’s planned fire sale of Bolivian natural gas to the United States and Chile. The irony of December’s protests was not lost on anyone: Morales was now asking people in a country with a per capita annual income of $1,700 to absorb — overnight — hefty price increases for gasoline, sugar and flour. Morales apologized, but few heads rolled. He replaced three of his 20 ministers last weekend. What remains is largely what he began with: loyalists representing constituencies including organized labor and indigenous confederations. “I’ve only been honest with the people and I don’t care about my popularity but instead about taking care of the interests of the country,” he told reporters. He also announced a new strategy: He would remove subsidies, but gradually. On Jan. 15, Morales raised sugar prices by 23 percent, fanning inflationary fears in a country that was ravaged by hyperinflation in the 1980s. Bolivians want to know how it is that this country of 10 million can’t feed itself despite being rich in arable land. “We feel defrauded. How can it be possible that in this city with four sugar mills there’s no sugar?” retiree Hugo Salvatierra remarked to Erbol radio in the eastern lowland city of Santa

Cruz. He said he’d stood in line for three hours to buy 8.8 pounds of sugar. A drought hurt sugar production last year. The government then prohibited exports, encouraging a now burgeoning black market. Now it says it needs to begin importing corn for chicken feed, which economists say will make chicken more expensive. Conﬁdence in Morales has so eroded that a protest Monday over rising prices in Llallagua, a mining town dominated by indigenous Quechua speakers in the southern highlands, devolved into looting where not just food but also televisions and computers were stolen. Columnist Maria Teresa Zegada wrote in the La Paz newspaper Razon that Morales’ was a government of patronage incapable of medium- or long-term planning. And Andres Soliz, Morales’ ﬁrst hydrocarbons minister, accused his former boss of exhausting his inventory of bold, radical reforms, which began in 2006 with Morales rewriting the rules so Bolivia kept a larger share of mineral and gas royalties. Critics say he’s driven away foreign investors. At the same time, Morales has increased government subsidies. Smuggling of contraband gasoline and diesel fuel to neighboring Peru — where it costs twice as much — then spun out of control. Government subsidies for the fuels jumped from $108 million in 2005 to $660 million last year — equal to nearly a third of annual natural gas export earnings. Historian Carlos Mesa, one of the four presidents

that Bolivia cycled through in the instability of 2001-05, says Morales has become hostage to the very social movements whose street violence he rode to power. “The ‘gasolinazo’ [late December gas-price riots] shows that governability was never established,” Mesa said in a column. The cushion that Bolivia enjoyed from a big jump in raw-material prices in Morales’ ﬁrst three years as president — 2008 saw an unprecedented 6 percent rise in gross domestic product — is now beginning to evaporate. Bolivia’s mining boom and natural gas “nationalization” helped reduce extreme poverty in those years as annual exports grew from $1 billion to $6 billion. And Bolivia built up more than $10 billion in foreign reserves. Then, last year, mining output dropped and foreign investment eased. Direct foreign investment fell to $156 million in the ﬁrst quarter of 2010, from $245 million in the year-before quarter, according to the National Statistics Institute. “Most serious analysts of the hydrocarbons sector say that at this rate Bolivia in 10 years will not be able to meet domestic [oil and natural gas] demand,” said political scientist Eduardo Gamarra of Florida International University. On the bright side, he says, Morales is becoming more pragmatic and less dogmatic. It’s high time, says Gamarra, that Morales turns away from an economic model that ignores market mechanisms. “This is a model that wasn’t going to last.”

trade group, commissioned a study on rural awareness in seven Indian states, including Maharashtra, where Mumbai is based. The results: Eighty-four percent of villagers had never heard of the Web. “Sixty years ago, they would’ve said they didn’t know what a bus was,” Ray said. “For Obama, yes, there’s Bangalore. But equally true are people who don’t know what the Internet is.” Many in India consider government reform, with an emphasis on streamlining, key to generating widespread improvements. “India is world’s red tape superpower” read a headline in Thursday’s Hindustan Times after India, followed closely by China, topped the list of the most “overregulated countries in the world” in a survey this week. About 1,370 executives surveyed by the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy complained of complex Indian regulations, onerous standards and cumbersome

rules for changing money or securing tourist visas. Rajiv Kumar, head of the New Delhi-based Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations think tank, offered a personal example of what he considered intrusive government. Late last year, his 80-year-old mother found herself paying ﬁnes to avoid imprisonment and settle a complaint that she left sitting water in a planter after she refused to pay bribes to anti-malaria ofﬁcials, Kumar said. “They’re trying to rid the city of malaria and the people implementing it turn it into an income generator,” Kumar said. “There’s a desperate weakness of governance.” A joke making the rounds is that “Bangalore grew while Delhi was sleeping,” suggesting high-tech companies have prospered in spite of the government. Businesses can expect to wait nearly 200 days to secure a construction permit, four years to enforce a contract and seven years to shut down a company, a World Bank assessment found.

Pimco’s Gross sees dangers in the debt-limit debate • GROSS, FROM 1B

bond investors will set off a Greek-style ﬁnancial crisis in the U.S. if the national debt grows. They’ve promised not to raise the limit without deep spending cuts. The Obama administration says if Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling in time bond investors will ﬂee U.S. debt and create a larger meltdown than the last one. And why do governments care what Gross thinks? Because bond buyers like him are essentially bankers to the world, playing a vital but behind-the-scenes role in the global economy. Any country that spends more than it receives in taxes relies on them to make up the shortfall. Deeply indebted governments can easily fall into a crisis when investors like Pimco turn on them. Under the current limit, the government can borrow another $234 billion, a ceiling that could be reached as early as March. Lifting the limit is usually

a non-event: Congress has raised it 74 times in the past 70 years. This time, however, the battle could turn fierce. Republicans took control of the House in November on a pledge to cut the national debt, which ballooned because of a decade of budget deficits and the Great Recession. The Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday that this year’s budget deficit will reach a record $1.5 trillion. In response to U.S. President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday, Paul Ryan, the new Republican chair of the House Budget Committee warned of “a crushing burden of debt” and drew comparisons to the European financial crisis. Gross and others say the Republican strategy is reckless. Typically, bond investors are fiscal conservatives who want the U.S. to cut its debt and tighten its budget deficits. They worry that rising interest payments will swallow a larger share of

the country’s income and hurt the economy. But bargaining over the debt-limit vote raises the specter of a government default, and few things scare investors more. “The signal it gives to countries that hold Treasurys is that their assets are hostage to a rogue Congress,” Gross says. “That’s the message it sends. It’s unacceptable.” The real danger comes if the fight drags on. Pimco and other money managers have been selling Treasurys in recent months. The market took a fall in December after the Obama administration and Republicans reached a deal to extend Bush-era tax cuts along with unemployment benefits. The total package is expected to add $400 billion to the current year’s budget deficit. At a meeting of Pimco’s investment committee last week, the assembled money managers agreed that the closer the government gets to the ceiling, the greater the risk that nervous investors

Ven-A-Care’s whistleblower suits came after years of complaints the company made to lawmakers and healthcare bureaucrats about overpayments by Medicare and Medicaid connected to inflation of the average wholesale price, or AWP. This price was a benchmark used as the basis for reimbursement by the government insurance programs for the poor and elderly. Ven-A-Care argues that drug companies have charged doctors, pharmacies and other providers a much lower price for drugs and allowed them to keep the spread between that price and a government reimbursement based on inflated AWPs, as a means of building the drug firms’ market share. “It destroys the price advantage of generic drugs,” said Pat O’Connell, a whistle-blowers’ attorney in Austin.

ditch Treasurys en masse. That would push long-term interest rates higher and risk derailing the economic recovery. “The Treasury market will sell off as this get more press and with more invective,” Gross says. “Investors like us, we sell now.” Bond investors are creditors, like banks. When investors buy a Treasury note, they lend the government money in exchange for a promise to return it later with interest. And like other lenders, they take a keen interest in a borrower’s ability to pay them back. The trouble starts when bond buyers worry that a country could default. That leads them to demand much higher interest rates for borrowing. Last year, cashstrapped Greece was essentially locked out of the bond markets because it couldn’t afford the high rates. Greece avoided a default thanks to a $150 billion bailout by the European Union and International Monetary Fund last

May. Greece needed bond investors to keep it afloat, but bond investors didn’t need Greece. In contrast, U.S. government bonds and the dollar underpin the global financial system. The Treasury yield is used as a benchmark for all borrowing, a point of comparison for debt around the world. A default on U.S. government debt would cause unthinkable chaos, says Rich Tang, head of fixed-income, equity and foreign exchange sales at the RBS Securities. The dollar would fall and credit markets would seize up around the world. That’s the main reason why few believe the U.S. will miss an interest payment. If Congress fails to raise the limit, the Treasury has a number of cash-management tricks that could delay a default for a few months. If that fails, analysts believe the government is more likely to stop making Social Security payments to U.S. citizens than miss an interest payment to China.

largest oil-producing nation, pumping about 10 million barrels a day. That is currently more than Saudi Arabia’s output, although the two countries frequently trade off for first place. The bigger draw now, though, may be Russia’s willingness to engage in offshore exploration. Onshore oil reserves around the world are gradually being depleted. And new offshore drilling in environmentally attuned countries like the United States are currently off limits. But Russia is open to deepwater development. In ExxonMobil’s case, that is in the Black Sea. With BP, it is even more on the cutting edge — off the continental shelf in the Russian Arctic. Another big oil company, Chevron, also recently agreed to explore in Russia’s coastal waters. And Royal Dutch Shell — which in 2007 was forced to sell half of its $20 billion Sakhalin II oil and gas deepwater development to the state gas company, Gazprom — has been invited back by Russia to join the Sakhalin III and Sakhalin IV projects in the Pacific Ocean. The country’s top energy official, Igor Sechin, at the signing ceremony with ExxonMobil on Thursday, seemed eager to counter the lingering worry that Russia might nationalize its oil industry at any moment, saying it envisions its energy industry “as a part of an integrated global marketplace.” The signing was held in Davos, Switzerland, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum. At the ceremony, Rex Tillerson, the ExxonMobil chief executive who punched his Russian oil card earlier in his career as a manager of the Sakhalin I development during the 1990s, praised his company’s work with Rosneft as a “successful relationship.” The new deal-making by Rosneft is a matter of necessity, Valery Nesterov, oil and gas analyst at Troika Dialog investment bank in Moscow, said in a telephone interview. Russian law grants Rosneft exclusive rights to potentially rich offshore deposits. But it lacks the technology to develop them. “The only option is to cooperate with foreign companies,” Nesterov said. Western executives are betting this time their technical knowledge may insulate them from Russia’s political and business vagaries.

Floods cost billions in lost crops, mining From Miami Herald Wire Services

Deadly floodwaters that have swamped huge parts of Australia will cost the nation 1 billion Australian dollars ($990 million) in agricultural losses and billions more in lost coal exports, the nation’s treasurer said Friday. The damage figures released by federal Treasurer Wayne Swan were the first official estimates of the financial fallout from the floods, and come one day after the government unveiled a proposal to institute a temporary tax to help pay for the disaster. Heavy rains that began in November caused massive flooding across the country that has claimed 35 lives and damaged or destroyed 30,000 homes and businesses. • EARNINGS FORD MAKES HIGHEST PROFIT IN A DECADE Ford earned its largest profit in more than a decade in 2010, as demand for its cars and trucks rose and it benefited from years of restructuring. It was the company’s best performance since 1999 and the first time it has earned back-to-back annual profits in six years. Ford earned $6.6 billion, or $1.66 per share. That’s more than double its 2009 profit of $2.7 billion, or 86 cents per share. Ford’s U.S. sales jumped 20 percent last year — double the rate of the industry — as an improving economy spurred demand for the company’s F-Series pickups and other vehicles. Revenues rose 3 percent to $120.9 billion. • PACKAGED FOOD SARA LEE TO SPLIT INTO TWO BUSINESSES Sara Lee is splitting into two public companies, completing a long series of moves that took the company from a conglomerate to a smaller business focused on food and drinks. One business will concentrate on its meats, frozen desserts and food service business while the other is centered on coffee and baked goods. The company said Friday the North American retail and food-service unit will retain the Sara Lee name and will include that brand as well as Jimmy Dean, Ball Park, Hillshire Farm and others. The other unit has yet to be named. It will include all its international bakery business and all of its beverage business, which owns brands such as Douwe Egberts, Senseo, Pickwick, Maison du Caf’, L’OR, Caf’ Pilo and Marcilla. • BRAZIL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HITS RECORD LOW Brazil says unemployment hit a record low last year at 6.7 percent. The government’s statistics bureau says it is the lowest rate since officials began using the current methodology in 2002. It dipped from 8.1 percent in the previous year, when the country’s economy was still affected by the global crisis. More than 2.5 million job posts were created last year, also the most ever since 2002. The Labor Ministry says more than 15 million formal jobs were created during the two consecutive four-year terms of Brazil’s former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who left office last year. • SOCIAL NETWORKING LINKEDIN SEEKS TO JOIN STOCK MARKET CLUB LinkedIn, the company behind the largest website for professional networking, plans to raise at least $175 million in an initial public offering of stock that could open the IPO floodgates for other widely used online services that connect people with common interests. The IPO papers filed Thursday by LinkedIn put the 8-year-old company on a path to make its stock market debut in the next three to four months, barring any major stumbling blocks. • AUTOMAKER GM WON’T TAP FEDERAL LOANS FOR RETOOLING General Motors says it won’t need $14.4 billion in federal loans to pay for retooling its factories to make more fuel-efficient vehicles and auto components. The loans from the U.S. Department of Energy were available to the Detroit automaker as part of a $25 billion program approved by Congress in 2007. GM officials said Thursday that the move was part of the company’s strategy of carrying “minimal” debt. “This decision is based on our confidence in GM’s overall progress and strong global business performance,” said Chris Liddell, GM vice chairman and chief financial officer. • LAWSUIT BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SUED OVER GUIDANT DEVICES The U.S. government sued Boston Scientific on Thursday, alleging its Guidant unit knew some of its implantable heart devices were defective but continued to sell them anyway, putting patients’ lives at risk. In a complaint filed in federal court in Minnesota, the government alleges Guidant knew as early as April 2002 that one model of its implantable cardioverter defibrillators might not deliver a life-saving jolt when needed. A similar problem was found in another model in 2003.

Obama’s green vision meets skepticism BY TIFFANY HSU

SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 2011

LOS ANGELES — U.S. President Barack Obama has grand plans for a green United States — 1 million electric vehicles on the road within four years and clean power sources providing 80 percent of the nation’s energy by 2035. But after getting a surprisingly extensive shout-out in Obama’s State of the Union address — he sees clean technology as the country’s best chance to seize its “Sputnik moment” — industry ofﬁcials this week were less than enthused and questioned whether the ambitious targets were even attainable. “It’s a lofty goal, but it’s like the race to the moon in that it’s generally achievable,” said John Cheney, chief executive of solar project developer Silverado Power. “The issue is whether we have the political will and ability to pull together and actually do it.” The guarded reaction to Obama’s speech comes as many clean-technology companies are struggling to recover from the recession and at the same time are facing aggressive competition from China. Many fear Obama’s longrange objectives will be distracting and take the focus off crucial, short-term projects. The American Wind Energy Association, a trade

group for wind power companies, said the industry wants to ramp up developments right away after laboring through a major slump in 2010. “We don’t need to wait nearly three decades,” said Denise Bode, the group’s chief executive. And other cleantechnology industry executives are grumbling that Obama has grouped “clean coal” and nuclear power along with solar panels, wind turbines and biofuels as green power sources. Nuclear energy — a pet cause of Obama-appointed Energy Secretary Steven Chu — creates radioactive waste that lasts for thousands of years and also carries grave security concerns, said Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. Coal plants, even those that would capture and store carbon dioxide emissions, would still use enormous reserves of water and could still release toxins that could cause severe health consequences. And then there is the big money question. Before aiming for such a high clean-energy threshold, companies ﬁrst need to feel more secure about ﬁnancing, executives said. Obama asked Congress to swap billions of dollars in subsidies given to oil companies for clean-

energy initiatives. That move is likely to encounter significant resistance from the fossil fuel industry. The renewable-energy market needs a stable supply of funds, not the erratic cycle of government incentives that expire every year or so, clean-technology executives say. Last year, solar and wind companies temporarily suspended new project developments while they lobbied for federal financing programs that were threatened or were about to expire. A steady nationwide system of loan guarantees, clean-technology manufacturer subsidies and consumer energy efficiency rewards could help make the 80 percent goal a reality, some said. “The more scale we get for solar, the more the cost comes down for everyone,” said Lyndon Rive, chief executive of residential panel installer SolarCity. “If Obama’s goal gets the resources it needs, there’s no reason we can’t do this.” But hitting those targets will also depend on the mood of capital investors, who are still skittish about the economy. Some companies complained that scrounging for funds last year was like dealing with loan sharks, with 13 percent or 14 percent interest rates compared with low-singledigit rates in China.

The Asian superpower also has a comprehensive national green policy, which the United States lacks. The absence of a uniﬁed federal approach has led to an exodus of U.S. clean-technology companies. Obama needs to push for a nationwide standard on renewable power while also simplifying the patent approval process and backing more research and development efforts, industry executives said. The government should also continue fast-tracking the permitting for projects such as the expansion of Molycorp Minerals’ rare-earths mine in Mountain Pass, Calif., and opening up offshore space for wind farms and public lands for solar installations. Obama’s plan may also get stiff resistance from Republicans in Congress, many of whom are loath to fund these projects. But Silverado’s Cheney said that partisan resistance seems to be thawing — at least if California is an indicator. “Politically, it looks like people are starting to reach across the aisle,” he said of Sacramento. “Everybody’s embarrassed by the horrible politics, so they’ve moved on from the grandstanding.” If so, Obama might have an easier time making his 2015 electric vehicle goal a reality.

Sarkozy, banker clash over regulations BY WILLIAM L. WATTS MarketWatch

tem through actions such as JPMorgan’s purchase of Bear Stearns. “The constant refrain [slamming] ‘bankers, bankers,’ is unfair,” he said. JPMorgan repaid the $25 billion, plus interest, that it got from TARP in June 2009. The U.S. Treasury Department effectively forced the nine largest U.S. banks to take bailout funds. Bank critics often say that taxpayer bailouts and guarantees were necessary to prevent a collapse of the ﬁnancial system that could have taken down even the healthiest banks.

Bankers have long played a prominent role in the annual gathering of world leaders and corporate elites in Davos, but maintained a relatively low profile over the past couple of years there. This year, financial executives are pushing back. A day earlier at Davos, Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs, warned that the push for tougher bank regulation could shift activity toward more hedge funds and other lightly regulated entities, moving risk to a “more opaque” portion of the financial sec-

tor, the Financial Times reported. In Thursday’s panel discussion, Alcoa chief executive Klaus Kleinfeld said he remains worried about continued volatility in ﬁnancial markets, including currencies, while Dominic Barton, worldwide managing director of consulting giant McKinsey, expressed concern over the potential for new asset-price bubbles. Barton warned that public anger over the ﬁnancial crisis and recession has put the onus on governments and businesses to rebuild trust “to deal with crises that will come again.”

DAVOS, Switzerland — President Nicolas Sarkozy of France offered little sympathy for bankers at the World Economic Forum as JPMorgan Chase chief executive James Dimon urged the Group of 20 to show some regulatory restraint. “It’s important for people to take a deep breath — too much would be too much,” hampering the economy and affecting jobs, Dimon said Thursday during the question-and-answer portion of Sarkozy’s address at the annual gathering. Sarkozy responded he didn’t dispute that regulations need to be “flexible,” but blasted the banks for defying “common sense” and undertaking a variety of “hair-raising” tactics that had contributed to the financial crisis, ultimately resulting in “tens of millions of unemployed.” “It generated a lot of anger, a lot of anger and a lot of anguish and suffering,” he added. Earlier, in a panel discussion on the ability of the financial system to withstand future shocks, Dimon said the widespread notion that all banks would have failed had governments not provided massive bailouts and backstops was incorrect. “Not all banks needed TARP [Troubled Asset Relief Program]. Not all banks would have failed,” he AFP-GETTY IMAGES asserted. Some banks, Dimon AT ODDS: After France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy, at left, slammed banks for elaborated, acted to help their irresponsible policies, JPMorgan Chase chief executive James Dimon, at stabilize the financial sys- right, said that not all banks should be blamed for financial meltdown.

U.S. approves planting of modified alfalfa seed BY ANDREW POLLACK

New York Times Service

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Thursday that he would authorize the unrestricted commercial cultivation of genetically modiﬁed alfalfa, setting aside a compromise that had generated stiff opposition. In making the decision, Vilsack pulled back from a novel proposal that would have restricted the growing of genetically engineered alfalfa to protect organic farmers from so-called biotech contamination. That proposal drew criticism at a recent congressional hearing and in public forums where Vilsack outlined the option.

Vilsack in recent months has been calling for coexistence among growers of genetically engineered crops, organic farmers and nonorganic farmers growing crops that have not been genetically altered. Organic farmers can lose sales if genetic engineering is detected in their crops, which occurs through crosspollination from a nearby field or through intermingling of seeds. And exports of nonorganic but nonengineered crops to certain countries can be jeopardized if genetically engineered material is detected in significant amounts. The genetically modified

crop — developed by Monsanto and Forage Genetics, an alfalfa seed company owned by the Land O’Lakes farming and dairy cooperative — contains a gene that makes the plant resistant to the herbicide Roundup. That allows farmers to spray the chemical to kill weeds without hurting the crop. Critics of planting restrictions said they were concerned the approach used in alfalfa would eventually be extended to other crops, causing restrictions on the growing of corn, soybeans and cotton, the vast majority of which are already genetically engineered. Organic farmers and food

companies said they were not pleased with the decision Thursday. “It was disappointing, but as you know, there is a tremendous amount of pressure here,” said George Siemon, chief executive of Organic Valley, the United States’ largest organic dairy cooperative. He said federal oversight was needed to keep organic crops free of genetically engineered material. Alfalfa is grown mostly to make hay fed to dairy cows and horses. More than 20 million acres are grown in the United States; it is the nation’s fourth-largest crop by acreage, behind corn, soybeans and wheat.

TRAVEL

The anti-cruise: No bingo, no karaoke, just fjords BY SHEILA NORMAN-CULP Associated Press

TROMSOE, Norway — In the arms race now gripping the travel industry, there is almost nothing cruise ships will not do to tempt new customers. Some boast of climbing walls, ice skating rinks and water parks. Others offer endless bingo, salsa, yoga or gambling. Travelers can go clubbing all night, have their bodies scrubbed with precious oils, or attend culture and history lectures by Ivy League professors. Their children can be mesmerized by entertainment professionals, their dogs cared for in onboard kennels, their wallets emptied by endless shopping choices. And then there is Norway’s Hurtigruten line. Hurtigruten, which plies Norway’s magnificently craggy western coast, specializes in rocks, fish and sea, with a dollop of heavy machinery thrown in. It prides itself as “the anti-cruise ship” line, an ornery outlook that snagged my counterculture psyche hook, line and sinker. Near-freezing temperatures at the end of May? Can do. A schedule that dumps you off at all hours of the day and night into hamlets that may or may not be open? Why not.

Hurtigruten says that pride also infuses its crew. “We are a little piece of Norway floating along the coast,” Pijfers said.

New World Center is an airy home for music and its fans BY ANTHONY TOMMASINI

New York Times Service

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — The New World Center, the exciting new Frank Gehrydesigned home of the New World Symphony here, had its ceremonial opening on Tuesday night. A training facility for this acclaimed orchestral academy, which grooms select young musicians fresh from colleges and conservatories, this $154 million center also contains a performance space and anchors an enticing public arts complex. It has the potential to be a game changer in classical music. The Tuesday night event was a festive musical party with speeches and tributes, especially to Gehry, and performances by the orchestra under Michael Tilson Thomas, the academy’s visionary founder and tireless artistic director. My colleague Nicolai Ouroussoff, The New York Times’ architecture critic, has already reported on the 100,641-square-foot building and the adjacent 2.5-acre public park, right in heart of Miami Beach,

29PGB05.indd 5

not far from the old Lincoln Theater, where the orchestra had been based since its founding in 1987. And I share his overall enthusiasm for the handsome, inviting complex. The centerpiece is the concert hall, which has 756 seats bunched in groups around the tall, airy auditorium. The steeply raked rows bring every audience member close to the musicians onstage. A fuller assessment of the hall’s sound, designed by an acoustical team headed by Yasuhisa Toyota, will have to await Wednesday’s formal opening concert, which is to include a Wagner overture, the premiere of a major work by Thomas Ades and Copland’s Third Symphony. Still, for the short performances offered on Tuesday, which ranged from a Gabrieli canzona for eight brass instruments to Gershwin’s American in Paris, the sound was clear, resonant and vibrant. But giving orchestral concerts is not all the New World Symphony is about and not the only public

function of the center, as became clear from a tour of the building and campus on Tuesday afternoon. When Gehry was recruited for this project, he pressed Thomas to dream, to explain what young musicians in training really needed. Thomas wanted to open the place up dramatically to the public. So the facade of this essentially rectangular building is a tall, beckoning wall of windows, showing the trademark Gehry cones, curves and ﬂower-shaped constructions inside. On the ground level there are several soundproof, windowed rehearsal rooms and recording studios, where musicians from the orchestra will practice in full view of the public, which will be free to roam the atrium when the building is in use. The New World Symphony players will have to get used to being watched as they work. It is hard to know how much these studios will intrigue visitors, who will not, after all, hear the music. But the visibility should demystify the music-making process by showing the ev-

eryday routines of working musicians. Upstairs are two ﬂoors with ample private practice rooms, where the musicians will do most of their work. These rooms are equipped with interactive video screens, so fellows in the academy can be coached by master musicians and composers anywhere in the world. This kind of digitalage teaching has already been happening at the New World Symphony. But the new building, which has a state-of-the-art recording, projection and Web-casting infrastructure, will exponentially increase the capacity. For example, if the fellows are learning a classical work, they can be coached by musicians from the Vienna Philharmonic, Howard Herring, the New World Symphony’s president and chief executive, said during my tour. Pierre Boulez, he added, is scheduled to work with young players on one of his pieces from IRCAM in Paris. In addition many performances in the concert hall will be presented live

in a section of the adjoining park called SoundScape, where video images will be screened on a 7,000-squarefoot projection wall with what is promised to be excellent sound conveyed through speakers tucked into a sculptural matrix of pipes. On Tuesday night, after the ceremony in the hall, SoundScape was inaugurated, but only with video art by Tal Rosner and C.E.B. Reas. As the images streamed by, a lively, blasting salsa band played for the entertainment of the crowd in the park. But the system will truly be tested on Friday, when the Wednesday concert is repeated and relayed outdoors. The orchestra sounded terriﬁc on Tuesday. Thomas led a feisty account of Ginastera’s Malambo from Estancia. Teddy Abrams, a conducting fellow in the program, led his own inventive arrangement of the Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2, scored for 11 musicians, including marimba and harp players, placed in various balconies and alcoves around the hall.

Thomas added a work to the program to show off the orchestra in a full-bodied Romantic piece, Glinka’s rousing Ruslan and Ludmila Overture, which the orchestra played with zest, ﬂair and impressive clarity. And under Thomas the players brought jazzy swing yet rich, textured sound to the Gershwin score. The young players looked elated. Some 1,000 applicants compete each year for about 35 places in the New World Symphony. There are usually 85 fellows in the program, and they can stay for a maximum of three years. Some leave early for good reasons, as they get jobs with orchestras. But for the three years the fellows are given a stipend of $450 a week for the orchestra’s 35-week season. And they have individual rooms at two converted hotels nearby for the entire year. A stipend; training with Thomas and other master musicians; an apartment in Miami Beach, where the weather on Tuesday was in the ’70s; and now a spectacular building: Not a bad life.

BY RICK KIRKMAN AND JERRY SCOTT

Dear Abby: American society has become ultra-casual in dress and manners. When I look at old photographs, men and women used to dress better and seemed to take more pride in their appearance. Now they wear pajamas to shop, torn jeans to work and clothes that are too small for large bodies. I feel we are a nation of slobs. Are we doomed to be this way in the future? I work in an office of slobs and everyone knows I dislike the “casual atmosphere,” so please don’t print my name. Dressed For Success in Albuquerque You are correct. People did dress differently in the 1950s, which took time, effort and money. Things started changing in the ’60s — when the next generation became the demographic that was being marketed to. After that, younger people began adopting the “grunge chic” they were seeing in music videos. Are we doomed to be this way forever? I think so, unless there’s a reactionary fashion revolution. Frankly, I don’t see it happening anytime soon. But before labeling your co-workers as slobs, please remember that they were hired looking the way they do, and if your employer didn’t approve of their appearance, there would be a dress code that is strictly enforced.

social context, it is inconsiderate. In a business context, it is unprofessional. People in the financial field are trained to repeat their phone numbers slowly, clearly and TWICE to prevent the problem you have described. And readers, if you are guilty of this, please slow down and take note. Dear Abby: I have four adult children. I was diagnosed with lung cancer three years ago, but it was detected early and my prognosis is excellent. They keep making comments about their “inheritance.” An example: “Take care of that painting — it’s my inheritance.” Dealing with the cancer is stressful, but their comments make me feel terrible. What can I say to shut them up? Not Going Anywhere Yet Allow me to offer a few suggestions: 1. “Stop hanging crepe because I’m not dying”; 2. “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched”; and 3. “I will, because I’ve decided to donate it to a museum.”

ANSWER TO FRIDAY’S PUZZLE:

Dear Abby: Tonight I came home to find three messages on my phone. One was from a doctor’s office; the other two were business calls. Each one asked me to call back. The callers spoke plainly — until they came to the phone number, which they rattled off so fast I had to replay the messages several times just to be able to write the numbers down. What’s the matter with people? This happens all the time at work and at home. Callers, PLEASE slow down and speak clearly — as if you are picturing someone actually writing down your number. Abby, am I getting old, or what? Say Wha —-? Orange, Calif. What you’re experiencing usually happens when the caller is in a hurry or calling a list of people they’re trying to get through. In a

HOROSCOPE IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: There is no free ride in this world, but you are quite willing to give tit for tat right now, understanding the necessity of offering something of equal value in the world of commerce. • AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A little change is in order. Freshen your perspective by making some sort of adjustment. • PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Life is a smorgasbord, so fill your plate with a variety of new experiences.

Pacify your restlessness by letting your creative juices flow. • LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Break way from the pack and find your own pursuits to occupy your time and mind. It’s best to steer clear of views that stand in opposition to your own. • VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you are correct. Don’t give in to fears and doubts. • LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t dwell on the past. A problem can be adequately taken care of with a quick fix rather than a major overhaul. • SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t get lost on a wild goose chase.

Walker trains ceaselessly for 2nd MMA fight • MMA, FROM 8B

Other times it’s a still-raving hunger for competition. Overall, it’s because Walker gave his life to athletics and fitness more than three decades ago, and it’s as much a part of him as his family, his faith and his teammates. “There’s a lot of reasons, but at this point in my life, I really want to show that it doesn’t matter how old you are,” Walker said. “If you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It’s simple, but it’s true, and your age is just an excuse. Being in your 40s or your 50s isn’t an excuse anymore, not after they see me do it.” His upcoming bout was delayed nearly two months after Walker sustained a cut in November during training at the American Kickboxing Academy, which is tucked into a strip mall between a discount store and a fabric barn. Walker is there almost every day of his life now, sparring in the ring and wrestling on the sweatstained mats with prospects less than half his age. “I don’t really know anyone out here in the Bay Area except my teammates,” Walker said. “I don’t really go out anyway, though, so it’s not too bad.” Walker already has a black belt in taekwondo, and he became infatuated with MMA five years ago when he observed the UFC’s evolution into an organized, regulated league for elite athletes. He connected with Strikeforce chief executive Scott Coker, who flew him to Los Angeles to test his aptitude against athletes in five MMA disciplines. Coker realized Walker

was raw, but no joke. Walker eventually was matched with AKA’s trainers in San Jose, Calif., and he has been living and training in the Bay Area for the last 15 months. “I was thinking he was crazy to get into this sport at 47,” said Javier Mendez, who has trained B.J. Penn and Sean Sherk. “You can’t just jump into this sport. The first day here, he was very green, but I was already impressed with how explosive he was. His cardio, it’s not normal. If he had started this when he was young, he would have been the best of all time.” Walker took to AKA immediately, embracing the camaraderie among the fighters. The gym is home to UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and a large collection of serious talent that wasn’t star-struck by Walker’s presence. “He likes the team atmosphere,” said Mendez, his trainer. “He’s big on team. That’s what keeps him here. He’ll be in the trenches with all of our guys. He’ll go out of his way to help the other guys out.” Many athletes in other sports have been tempted to start a second career in MMA, including big talkers ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Floyd Mayweather Jr., but most have realized the sport only appears easy to pick up. Former heavyweight boxing champion James Toney was easily stopped by Randy Couture in a UFC bout last year. Jose Canseco lost 77 seconds into his MMA debut in Japan in May 2009. Former NFL receiver Johnnie Morton infamously was carried out of his debut fight on a stretcher in 2007 after a first-round knockout loss.

CHAMPIONS: Flavia Pennetta, right, of Italy and Gisela Dulko of Argentina won the women’s doubles final at the Australian Open defeating Victoria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko 2-6, 7-5, 6-1.

up enough at times that his looping lob on break point at 4-1 in the third set went high over seventh-seeded Ferrer’s head, allowing the Spaniard to only watch as the ball bounced meters inside the line. “My body was feeling it a bit at the end,” Murray said. “Both of us did a lot of running.” Ferrer won the ﬁrst set by breaking Murray’s serve in the 10th game, and had a set point to go up 2-0 in the second. But Murray saved it and evened it at 5-5. The two exchanged service breaks in the next two games to send the second set to a tiebreaker, which Murray led 6-0. He overwhelmed Ferrer in the two tiebreak sets, al-

lowing the Spanish player just four points. “I served well in both of them,” Murray said. “I got off to a good start, and that always makes a difference.” “I had my chance in the set point in the second set, but in the important moments he served really well,” Ferrer said. “In the tiebreak, maybe he start better than me.” Murray says he and Djokovic are good friends and often train together. “I think experience-wise we are similar,” Murray said. “There won’t be any secrets with our games but it’s going to be a brutal match.” Earlier Friday, the topranked team of Gisela Dulko of Argentina and Italian Flavia Pennetta rallied from a set and 4-1 down to beat Vic-

toria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko 2-6, 7-5, 6-1 for the doubles title. It was the first Grand Slam title for the team of Dulko and Pennetta, who made it to the quarterfinals at all the Grand Slams last year and the Wimbledon semifinals. Dulko and Pennetta, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 among doubles players, were already up a break in the deciding set at 3-1 when they broke again when Kirilenko netted a backhand. They held in their next service game, then broke Azarenka and Kirilenko again to close out the match. Clijsters returned to the tour in late 2009 after a 21/2-year break, during which she got married and had a child. She won the 2009

U.S. Open in her third tournament back and has won ﬁve singles titles since her return, including the last year’s U.S. Open. When she won the 2009 U.S. Open, she became the ﬁrst mother to win a Grand Slam singles title since Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980. Clijsters said Friday the birth of her daughter, Jada, and the death of her father, Leo, may have contributed to her return to the tour. “Obviously so many things happened in those two years — the loss of my dad as well was something that kind of triggered me trying to do something different for a while to kind of get my mind off it and to try and put some time into kind of myself,” she said.

NFL says millions may be lost if labor deadline is missed • NFL, FROM 8B

Pro Bowl and Super Bowl yet to be played, those talks are unlikely to occur until after Feb. 6. In the absence of more complete talks, both sides have tried to amplify their arguments in public. Roger Goodell, the NFL’s commissioner, said he would take a $1 salary if a new collective bargaining agree-

ment is not in place by the deadline. The players went to Capitol Hill last week to tell lawmakers that they are ﬁghting to increase retiree beneﬁts and oppose a cap on rookie salaries. The NFL wants to add two regular-season games and receive an extra $1 billion in the form of credits that can be deducted from the revenue pool that is now shared with the players.

Currently, the owners receive the ﬁrst $1 billion earned by the league and the players receive nearly 60 percent of the rest of the league’s revenue, which was almost $8 billion last year. The league argues the extra credits would allow the owners to spend more on stadiums and other revenueproducing investments. The union has indicated it would consider the owners’

argument if it could confirm how the money has been used. To do that, the union wants to see the owners’ financial statements so it can verify how the owners have invested their money in the past. “We have no idea what the bottom line is of the teams, what the profits are of the teams, what the capital investments the owners are making in the teams,” said George Atallah, a spokes-

man for the players union. Pash dismissed the union’s request, saying the union has access to all of the league’s audited ﬁnancial records. He was also careful to say that the owners are not pleading poverty. The league and its teams are making money, he said, but they and the players could make even more money if the revenue sharing agreement was “rebalanced.” The league said that the

putts longer than 3 feet — a 10-foot par save on No. 8, and a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-3 sixth that bounced along until catching the right corner of the cup. “I didn’t leave myself any putts,” Woods said. “I kept leaving myself above the hole. And I didn’t take advantage of the par 5s.” The North Course is not the pushover it has been in past years because of some new length, and not just in distance. Along with being some 90 yards longer, the rough was allowed to grow and is thicker than the grass found on the South Course. “I didn’t know the North was as long as the South,” Ben Curtis said after a 70. He knows better, but it felt that way if tee shots did not stay in the narrow, canted fairways. Woods was in shorter grass on half of his 14 tee shots, although four of those misses came on the par 5s. He couldn’t get to the green in two, and didn’t make the birdie putts. Even so, he looked more like the Woods who ended last year with a playoff loss at the Chevron World Challenge, not the guy who played so poorly for so much of the year that he didn’t win on the PGA

29PGB07.indd 7

Tour for the first time in his career. It felt like a typical season-opener for Woods, including his position on the leaderboard. In his last four trips to this PGA Tour event, he has trailed by seven, six, five and two shots after the opening round and went on to win them all. Even so, scoring on the North was lower, and Woods will need to pick up the pace on the South Course. He is playing the first two days with Anthony Kim and Rocco Mediate, whom Woods defeated in that epic U.S. Open playoff at Torrey Pines. Mediate was chattering away, as usual, but there wasn’t much conversation about that 19-hole playoff from 2008. “We didn’t play that golf course,” Woods said. Kim was among those at 68, a tribute to his great scrambling. He chipped in from 40 feet for par, holed a 30-foot par putt from the fringe and made two other par saves outside 10 feet. Kang had the recipe on the North Course that Woods couldn’t find. “This course, all the par 5s are reachable, so I really tried to keep to the fairways and it worked really well,” Kang said.

was among those needing surgery and allowed to leave for the United States for treatment. He still remembers the race to the airport in a military Hummer with his mother crying. His father stayed behind before joining the family months later. MENTAL SCARS

They eventually settled in Indianapolis, where life was much quieter and safer. But Hodzic still had mental scars from the war, and they surfaced one Independence Day while he was playing in a swimming pool and ﬁreworks went off. “He just went underneath a table,” said his mother, Mevlida Hodzic. “I will remember that the rest of my life. I said, ‘Honey, it’s not bombing here. They don’t have war here or anything.’ I just took him home. They’ll remember that for the rest of their lives.” Of course in Bosnia, soccer, not basketball, was the family game. So when he ﬁrst arrived in the United States, that’s what Hodzic played. The tallest person in his family, he turned to basketball after his father took him to see an Indiana Pacers-Chicago Bulls game — where he became an instant fan of Michael Jordan. He recreated MJ’s moves

on the small Bulls’ hoop his mother bought him. In high school, he was teammates with Eric Gordon, now a guard with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. But a back injury during his junior year limited his options for playing in college, with interest only coming from smaller schools like Kent State, Miami of Ohio and Lehigh. Hodzic credits Lipscomb assistant coach Jay Walton with luring him to Nashville. Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson, son of coaching legend Wimp Sanderson, saw the 245-pound Hodzic as someone who could be a scoring machine in the Atlantic Sun Conference. And he was right. Hodzic scored in double figures for 72 straight games before rival Belmont University held him to seven points earlier this month. Hodzic made up for that by scoring 26 points Tuesday in the rematch to split the series. He has scored 33 twice this season and is averaging a conference-best 19.3 points per game. Hodzic was second in the nation in scoring last season as the Atlantic Sun player of the year. His scoring is down this season with opponents focused on Hodzic. “Sometimes I watch film it’s like a suction cup,” Hodzic said. “All five collapse, and it’s tough.”

Hodzic, who graduates in May with a marketing degree, also is working on the mid-range jumper he will need to play his way onto an NBA team or head overseas. He’s savoring each practice while trying to help Lipscomb (12-8) earn its ﬁrst NCAA tournament berth, which will come only through winning the Atlantic Sun tournament and getting an automatic spot. FRIEND FROM SERBIA And in a twist that shows how generations can grow past war, Hodzic also is friends with sophomore Milos Kleut — from Belgrade, Serbia. Hodzic welcomed the chance to be able speak his language with someone, and Sanderson says they’re like best friends jabbering together. “My parents didn’t raise me to hate anybody,” Hodzic said. “He didn’t do anything to my family members back then. It wasn’t him. I didn’t do anything to his. Why would I have anything against him?” Hodzic has studied documentaries about the war and hopes to live again in Sarajevo someday. He won’t be harboring thoughts of revenge or anger. He just wants to live. “That’s why I love basketball. It teaches me about life. Just live in the moment,” he said.

players could lose a lot in the short term if they do not think about the NFL’s long-term ﬁnancial health. According to the league’s calculations, at the end of the season, there will be 495 unrestricted free agents, up from roughly 300 in recent years. Without a new labor agreement, none of them will be able to sign new contracts and receive signing bonuses worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Murray books date with Djokovic BY DENNIS PASSA

Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Andy Murray will get another chance to end a near 75-year winless streak for British men in Grand Slam singles tournaments after beating Spain’s David Ferrer 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-1, 7-6 (7-2) Friday to reach the Australian Open final. The semifinal win put Murray into Sunday’s final against Novak Djokovic of Serbia, the 2008 champion who holds a 4-3 edge in headto-head matches. However, Murray has won the last three. Murray faced a set point in the second that would have had him trailing 2-0, but fought back to beat Ferrer for the third time in six career meetings. “I think towards the end of the second set I started going for my shots more. I was missing a lot earlier,” Murray said. “I changed my string tension and managed to come through. I changed my tactics — played closer to the baseline, waiting for my shots a bit more.” Ferrer was disappointed by his missed opportunities. “Andy, in important moments, serve better than me,” Ferrer said. “So I can’t do nothing more. I fight a lot. I tried my best game all the time, but Andy’s a very, very great player.” No British male has won a Grand Slam singles title since Fred Perry in 1936 — more than 270 Grand Slam tournaments ago. The drought endured with Tim Henman and most recently Murray, who lost in straight sets to Roger Federer in the final last year. Federer is gone from this tournament, beaten by Djokovic in the semifinals. Top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who was trying to win his fourth straight Grand Slam tournament, is also gone. He was hobbled by a thigh injury in his quarterfinal loss to Ferrer. Kim Clijsters, who will play the final Saturday against Li Na of China, thinks that 2011 will “probably” be her last full year on the tennis tour. When asked if the Australian Open women’s final could be her last appearance at Melbourne Park, the 27-year-old Clijsters replied: “Yeah, it is.” The men’s semifinal was filled with long rallies and plenty of booming forehands that just cleared the net. Murray mixed it

Bosnian native embraces U.S. college basketball BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press

He knows escaping the war in Bosnia was a blessing, one he says goes beyond the game. “I know God has brought us here for a reason. I think this is one of the reasons right here. The game of basketball that is such a vital and great tool to take me other places in life,” the 6-foot-8 Hodzic said. But ﬁrst his family had to take him out of Sarajevo. His parents had taken refuge in their home inside Sarajevo, staying in the basement due to the heavy ﬁghting. The family even slept together on a foldout sofa due to the constant danger. When Hodzic hurt his eye playing with a friend in February 1994, it wasn’t safe to receive treatment at the hospital, which was dealing with massive casualties from one of many intense battles.

NASHVILLE — Playing outside wasn’t an option for Adnan Hodzic, not with bombs and bullets exploding around his home. He remembers hiding in his basement, seeing daylight slivering around the cinderblocks stacked in the windows when he was a small boy. Survival was the daily focus, and the experience shaped Hodzic’s outlook on life. Including how he views his success on the basketball court at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Hodzic is wrapping up his career as the Atlantic Sun Conference’s top scorer. Always polite and smiling off the court, there is no bravado even though he and Duke’s Kyle Singler are the only active U.S. college players with at least 1,750 points and 750 rebounds.

The NFL and its players stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars if they fail to reach a labor agreement before the current deal expires on March 3, Jeff Pash, the league’s chief negotiator, has said. The league said it would lose $120 million if the deadline in March passed without a deal and $1 billion if no agreement was in place by the start of the regular season in September, as well as $400 million per week during the regular season. Free agents and players owed certain bonuses could forgo hundreds of millions of dollars more if no deal is struck in March, the league said. The NFL released the projections to combat the perception that the players and the league have the luxury of letting the March 3 deadline pass and negotiating through the spring and summer, when no games are played. The NFL wanted to illustrate the need to jump-start talks with the players union. “The uncertainty about a labor agreement will have a clear and cumulative effect on our revenues, and as our revenues are affected in a negative way, it obviously makes it harder, not easier, to reach an agreement,” Pash said Thursday. “It makes the work stoppage, if one occurs, more costly, and that’s a cost that will complicate, not ease, the negotiating process.” Pash and other NFL executives said that without a labor deal in place by March, sponsors would be reluctant to renew deals with the league, and season-ticket and suite sales would also suffer. Even if an agreement is reached in the summer, it would take years to recoup the lost revenue, they said. Pash said talks could be extended past the March 3 deadline, which happened several times during the last round of negotiations in 2006. Though the top leadership of the league and union have met frequently in recent weeks, there have not been full-ﬂedged negotiations since November. With the • TURN TO NFL, 7B

Herschel Walker trains for 2nd MMA fight BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Herschel Walker realizes there’s no logical reason for this lifestyle, not after so many years and so many accomplishments. He’s living alone in a luxury hotel in Silicon Valley, half a continent away from his ﬁancee and young son in Dallas. He rises well before dawn for a long jog, followed by the latest sets in his lifelong barrage of push-ups and situps. The 48-year-old former super-

star running back then goes to an unassuming kickboxing gym deep in San Jose’s suburban sprawl for several hours of daily training in mixed martial arts, the latest passion in his profoundly eclectic athletic life. “I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid,” Walker said. “I just love competing in any kind of athletics. I want to try everything, and there’s no doubt that this is some of the toughest physical activities you can do. You can

compete at these things, but can you compete at the highest level? That’s what I wanted to find out.” After excelling in track, football, bobsledding and even poultry farming, Walker will get his second MMA fight with the Strikeforce promotion in San Jose on Saturday night against Scott Carson. But why? Walker has many reasons, not all of them explainable. Some days it’s a desire to motivate others into mid-life fitness. • TURN TO MMA, 7B
