eople cheered and their four-legged friends barked their approval when the news came in that Texarkana, Texas, had won the PetSafe Bark for Your Park contest Wednesday.

Jeff Tarpley, who operates an animal rescue and who helped organize volunteers who worked to spread the word to vote, got a call from a PetSafe official who told him the news. “Hold on one second,” Tarpley said, turning to face the crowd of supporters behind him. “We won!” Sitting at a picnic table surround-

ed by volunteers, Tarpley stared at the laptop in front of him with a look of almost disbelief. Volunteers have been getting out the vote since the contest began in May and continued their efforts until the last voting day on July 26. “Do you believe this?” he said aloud, his eyes moistening with See PARK on Page 10A

The 6th District Court of Appeals last week affirmed the life sentence of a Red River County man who murdered his uncle with a machete. Joseph Quelon Harris’ conviction will stand despite mistakes made by his lawyer. Harris, 32, was found guilty in April 2012 by a Red River County jury of murdering his uncle in July 2011. John Richard Harris, 50, died “as the result of 13 chop wounds,” the opinion states. During jury selection, Harris’ lawyer and the prosecutor told the jury Harris was eligible for probation. Before 2007, Texas law allowed for probation if a defendant was sentenced to 10 or fewer years and a jury recommended such. In 2007, the law was changed. “After two days of testimony, Harris’ attorney apparently learned of the 2007 amendment to (the law), which precludes a jury from recommending community supervision (probation) in murder cases,” the opinion states. “Harris’ counsel argued that because the state and the defense told the jury that Harris was eligible for community supervision if convicted of murder, the jury would infer—after hearing the evidence and receiving an instruction that he was, in fact, not eligible for community supervision—that the case “was worse than it was at the time” of jury selection. Harris’ request for a mistrial was denied by 6th District See COURT onPage 10A

House approves lower rates on student loans

WASHINGTON—A bipartisan bill that would reduce the costs of borrowing for millions of students passed the House on Wednesday and was heading to President Barack Obama for his signature. The legislation links student loan interest rates to the financial markets, offering lower rates for most students now but higher ones down the line if the economy improves as expected. Even as they were preparing to pass the bill, many lawmakers were already talking about a broader approach to curbing fast-climbing costs. See LOANS onPage 10A

Wadley Senior Clinic had a Grand Opening Event on Wednesday with lots of fanfare from the community. Between 300 to 400 people attended. Focusing on the care of seniors, the clinic is an outpatient department of Wadley Regional Medical Center and a partnership with Texarkana Regional Center on Aging. “What we have here is a partnership with Wadley and the Texarkana Regional Center on Aging to provide a holistic approach to take care of older adults and their families. We’re work-

ing with a multi-disciplinary team, which will include geriatricians, geriatric nurse practitioners, social worker, dietitian and all staff being trained in the specialty of older adults,” said Amyleigh Overton-McCoy, clinical director of the senior clinic. The needs of older adults are different than those of younger people. “Older adults are unique and have special needs such as fall risks, multiple medications, urinary incontinence, memory issues and cognitive issues so it’s important to understand the differences and be able to treat it See CLINIC on Page 10A

LITTLE ROCK—Arkansas Republican Rep. Tom Cotton plans to announce his bid next week to challenge two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor in next year’s elections, according to a person familiar with the congressman’s plans. The person who COTTON spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday was not authorized to speak publicly about the planned announcement and spoke on a condition of anonymity. But the freshman congressman has scheduled an event Tuesday with supporters in his hometown of Dardanelle. Cotton’s entry will set up a heated and expensive fight for a U.S. Senate seat that Republicans believe is prime for a pickup in 2014, with groups on the right and left already waging a television ad fight in Arkansas. It also creates a domino effect, with several Republicans now eyeing Cotton’s seat in the U. S. House. Cotton was elected to the U.S. House in 2012, to the open seat See COTTON on Page 10A

Arkansas developer pleads guilty to conspiracy and money laundering J^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii FORT SMITH, Ark.—A Fayetteville developer on Wednesday pleaded guilty to conspiracy and money laundering charges that were rooted in a $47 million bankruptcy filing in which he was accused of concealing assets from his creditors. Brandon Barber entered guilty pleas to conspiracy to commit bankruptcy fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and money laundering. “The number of creditors whom Mr. Barber defrauded through his illegal activities—as well as the number of banks who were threatened by his actions—is just staggering,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Randall C. Coleman said. Sentencing will be set later. Barber faces up to 45 years in prison if given consecutive sentences on the convictions. He could be fined $1.5 million. Federal prosecutors said that starting in 2008 Barber worked with two others to disguise income and hide funds so creditors wouldn’t know about his holdings. As part of the scheme, Barber declared a $47 million bankruptcy in 2009, in which he failed to disclose transfers of funds to the other two individuals, with K. Vaughn Knight and James Van Doren, prosecutors said. That resulted in the conspiracy to commit bankruptcy fraud charge. Knight and Van Doren were charged with Barber in a 27-count indictment handed up in March. Barber and three other co-defendants were charged in a separate indictment. Cases are pending against the other defendants. Prosecutors alleged a conspiracy to commit bank fraud when Barber allegedly conspired with several people to bilk First Federal Bank by fraudulently representing the purchase

OUSTON—When the smoke cleared and the music died down, Candy Torres could no longer contain herself. Looking at the shiny, restored Star Trek Galileo shuttlecraft sitting in Houston in all its TV glory, she broke down.

“All of a sudden I was just crying. I was in tears. I couldn’t believe it,” Torres said, donning a brown tourist engineer hat and a NASA mission operations shirt. “It meant something.” And Torres wasn’t alone. Trekkies of all stripes arrived in Houston Wednesday for the momentous unveiling of the shuttlecraft that crash-landed on a hostile planet in the 1967 “Star Trek” episode called “The Galileo Seven.” Some wore Scotty’s Repair Shop T-shirts, others full-blown spandex outfits worn by Mr. Spock and his peers in the famous TV show

and movies that have garnered a following so large and so devoted it is almost cult-like. Adam Schneider paid $61,000 for the battered shuttlecraft in an auction and spent about a year restoring the fiberglass ship and making it look nearly as it did on that episode. He flew in from New York to mark the unveiling at the Space Center Houston, where it will be permanently displayed not far from NASA’s Mission Control. “Unbelievably proud,” he said, beaming alongside the white shuttle. “Like sending your kid to college and having them get

a job to build a successful life, because this was under our care for a year and we grew very attached. Jeff Langston, 45, drove more than 160 miles from Austin with his two sons to see the moment. He and his 12-yearold son, Pearce, wore matching red Scotty’s Repair Shop T-shirts. His 10-year-old son, Neo, couldn’t find his shirt, but that didn’t put a damper on the moment. “It was very exciting,” Neo said, bouncing on his feet. “When they filmed Star Trek the Galileo was cool and now

that they remade it, it’s cool to see a new version of the Galileo. And it’s beautiful.” Richard Allen, the space center’s 63-year-old CEO and president, hopes that just as the Star Trek movies and others like it inspired Torres to pursue a career in science and engineering, that today’s generation will be similarly inspired when they see the Galileo. “It’s fantastic,” he said of the shuttlecraft. “We’re all about exciting and educating ... and I’m convinced that space is one of the best, if not the best, way of creating inquiry in young minds.”

price of a number of lots as higher than the actual sale prices. Prosecutors said Barber received $314,000 and two co-conspirators received a total of $650,000. The government alleged that Barber engaged in money laundering by making a financial transaction involving “criminally derived property.” Connor Eldridge, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas said the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service worked together in the extensive investigation. “This is a significant step in bringing several individuals involved in committing fraud, including fraud on the federal bankruptcy court, to justice. This case indicates that we are serious about identifying, investigating, and prosecuting those who perpetuate fraud, swindle others out of money, and engage in financial crimes,” Eldridge said. Asa Hutchinson III, attorney for Barber, said his client was returned to custody after the hearing.

MAGNOLIA, Texas—The motherless fawn peers with luminous brown eyes from behind a hay bale in a Montgomery County barn. Eventually, the skittish fawn inches over to lick the outstretched hand of a volunteer who has been bottle-feeding the animal for weeks after a car struck and killed its mother. The Houston Chronicle reports residents have brought a record 64 fawns—all orphaned by car strikes—to the Friends of Texas Wildlife in Magnolia to be nurtured until they can be released to survive on their own. That represents more than a 50 percent increase from the number the center normally receives each year and is indicative of the huge 30 percent jump in injured and orphaned wildlife of all varieties pouring into the center. “Montgomery County is growing so fast. Wildlife is being displaced, and animals aren’t dealing with it well,” said Jeanette Winkelmann, the center’s president. Lisa Wolling, the center’s director and an animal rehabilitator, agreed, “Animals are being squeezed from their normal habitat. Roads are being built where they had not been before. People are moving to where animals once lived.” The booming development will only worsen with the loss of the Boy Scout’s 70-year-old campgrounds, Camp Strake, she added. The camp, which covers 2,200 acres and includes six natural lakes, is under a pending contract with a real estate developer. The CNN Money survey, which ranked this county as having the fourth best job market

in the nation, noted Anadarko Petroleum is building a second skyscraper here for 1,700 workers while Exxon Mobil is busily constructing a 385-acre campus for 2,000 employees. “We’re growing exponentially,” said the Montgomery County judge’s chief of staff, Doris Golemon. “But we want to preserve the quality of nature and wildlife that we have here, too.” None of the other large statepermitted wildlife rehabilitators in East Texas have been as overrun with animals as the Montgomery County center. Wildlife Center of Texas in Brazoria County has seen only a slight uptick in wildlife submissions, and the Gulf Coast Wildlife Rescue in central Houston has seen an 18 percent hike, about half the jump as in Montgomery County, officials there report. Matt Wagner, the state parks’ wildlife division director, said rehabilitators must be trained before licensed by the state to treat and then release injured and orphaned wildlife back into the Texas landscape.

stressed these groups receive no tax dollars and must find private money to do the job: “We get a lot of calls about hurting animals and we would have no place to put them without volunteer rehabilitators.” Because of the huge influx of critters, Winkelmann has already spent her entire budget for the year and is now having to scavenger for more. She hopes that

she won’t be forced to turn any helpless animals away. “Fawns are the most expensive. They cost $1,000 each because you have to give them formula for three months and they drink a lot of it. It’s like raising a little horse. Then they need apples, grapes and grain,” she said. She also has to buy a steady supply of mice that she feeds to her adult raptors - birds of prey - injured when they swoop down to retrieve a rodent from a roadway. These predators keep their eye on the prize and never notice the car barreling toward them at 60 miles per hour, she said. Two red-tailed hawks—with massive wing spans, talons and sharp beaks—are just about ready for release after recuperating from their injuries, as are 13 small screech owls. Most any native Texas wildlife can find a haven there. While wildlife rehabilitation can be costly and time consuming, Winkelmann believes it’s worth the effort to keep native wildlife from being completely driven out of Montgomery County.

Man charged with capital murder in triple homicide case 8o @_c M_bb_Wcied Texarkana Gazette

Capital murder charges have been filed against Timothy Hill, 43, of Delight, Ark. for allegedly shooting to death his estranged wife, his mother-in-law and his niece. The three counts of capital murder, which includes the sentence of death or life in prison without parole, were filed Monday in the Pike County Circuit Clerk’s office in Murfreesboro. No comments were available from Prosecutor Bryan Chesshir or the attorneys representing Hill due to a gag order issued by Ninth Judicial District Circuit Court Judge Charles Yeargan preventing statements to the news media about the investigation. The documents filed said the actions of Hill were “premeditated and deliberate.” The charges allege Hill fatally shot his estranged wife, Dana Hill, 33; his mother-in-law, Julie Hartsfield, 54; and his 9-year-old niece Autumn Hartsfield. The shooting occurred July 13 at the house at 3489 state Highway 301 about 8 miles southeast of Murfreesboro near the communities of Billstown and Delight.

Arkansas State Police Special Agent Neal Thomas interviewed Hill about the shooting death when he was taken into custody. The arrest affidavit was prepared by Arkansas State Police Special Agent Hays McWhirter. Hill said he took his two sons, ages 2 and 5, to his father’s house across the street and then went back to the house. The report said he knew his wife, Dana Hill, was coming to get the two boys. The couple were going through a divorce, but it had not been finalized. Dana Hill went into the bathroom in the house. Hill said they did not fight or argue. When she went to the bathroom, he went to the hall closet, retrieved his SKS rifle and went outside to the car. He shot the BMW car where Julie Hartsfield was sitting in the front and Autumn Hartsfield was sitting in the back seat. Hill said he knew his mother-inlaw was inside the vehicle. He said he was mad at her because she was trying to turn his two boys against him. After shooting the vehicle he went

back into the house where his wife was in the bathroom. He pointed the rifle at her and asked her “Why?” The gun then went off. “He stated he meant to shoot his mother-in-law but did not mean to shoot his wife. He did not know why he did,” said the report. He said he was unaware the girl was in the vehicle. The women were pronounced dead at the scene. The girl was flown by medical helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Hot Springs. Autumn died at the Hot Springs hospital during surgery. The mother-in-law was found in the front seat of the vehicle. Officers found six bullet holes from an SKS rife in the right front passenger door. A rear passenger door of the BMW had two bullet holes where the girl was sitting. Dana Hill had reportedly locked herself in the bathroom. Tim Hill fired one round into the door lock to open the locked door. The door knob lock was still in the lock position. It appears Dana Hill was sitting on the bathroom floor when she was shot, said the affidavit.

‘Flint Hill Special’ diamond found in Murfreesboro park A carpenter from Flint nt Hill, Mo. found a 2.05-carat, marble-shaped ble-shaped brown diamond at Crater of Diamonds State Park. Steve Vehige discovered ed the diamond and has named it Flint Hill Special because it reminds inds him of the color of sweet tea from his hometown and for Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs’ first song, “Flint n their first Hill Special,” featured on y Mountain album in 1957, “Foggy Jamboree.” This was Vehige’s fourth trip to the diamond park near Murfreesboro, Ark. He and his 17-year-old son, Matt, arrived July 25 and endured the daylong five inches of rain July 26 that turned the 37 1/2-acre diamond search area into a muddy field. About 3:30 p.m. July 26, Vehige was talking with another visitor when she wondered aloud what diamonds look like. “Like that right there,” said Vehige and he picked up his shiny stone. In the previous week, the area had

Two Hempstead County prisoners fight Tuesday inside Hope courthouse Two Hempstead County inmates started fighting Tuesday in the courthouse in Hope, Ark., and one inmate was knocked down a flight of stairs. The inmates were treated at Wadley Regional Medical Center at Hope and released, Sheriff James Singleton said. The fight started about 10:50 a.m. Tuesday between two inmates in the courthouse while they were being escorted back to the detention center by detention officers. A group of six inmates was being escorted back after appearing in court. All of the inmates were handcuffed and shackled and were accompanied by detention officers. Inmate Robert Turner stopped and exchanged words with inmate Terry Palmer. Palmer rushed Turner, and they exchanged punches.

Detention officer Philip Ray stepped between the two and was pulling Palmer away from Turner. Ray and Palmer fell down the stairs, and Turner remained on the stairs on his back. Other detention officers and courthouse security deputies secured the other four inmates and took them to the detention center, Singleton said. Palmer and Turner were taken by Pafford EMS to the hospital after complaining of injuries. Both inmates were treated. The prisoners were back at the detention center by 5 p.m. and locked down, Singleton said. Ray sought medical attention at Howard Memorial Hospital in Nashville. He returned to work Wednesday. No charges have been filed in the incident, and it remains under investigation.

SAGINAW, Texas—Bond has been set at $1 million for a hospitalized North Texas teenager charged with killing a 6-yearold neighbor and wounding an officer. Tarrant County jail records Wednesday listed 17-year-old Tyler Holder of Saginaw as in custody while hospitalized after being shot in the head by police. Defense attorney Rose Anna Salinas said Wednesday that she’s visited her client. Salinas declined to release Holder’s

condition or comment further. Holder was shot July 23 as officers served a capital murder warrant in the slaying of Alanna Gallagher. Her body was discovered July 1 wrapped in a tarp. Investigators say Holder shot an Arlington officer before police returned fire. Holder was charged with attempted capital murder after the wounding of Detective Charles Lodatto. Lodatto was discharged from a hospital Monday. ÆJ^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii

Miller County buys dive and rescue team boat for $7,500 Miller County recently purchased a 19-foot pontoon to serve as a dive and rescue boat. The boat was purchased for $7,500 and includes a 50horsepower motor and a dive platform, said Larry Pritchett, director of Miller County Emergency Management. The boat will be used by the six-member certified dive team, which includes two expert divers and four openwater divers, Pritchett said. The boat has been used twice this year to help divers find submerged vehicles. “It’s been used on the Red

River and Sulphur River. Both times, it was for finding submerged vehicles. The owners apparently didn’t set the brakes, and the vehicles slipped in neutral and rolled back into the rivers. Both were accidents,” Pritchett said. The Miller County Quorum Court finance committee approved the purchase Monday and allowed the transfer of $3,500 into the emergency management fund. The budget already had $4,000, and with the $3,500 approved by the committee, the funding was complete. Æ@_c M_bb_Wcied

Arkansas Democratic party chairman resigning 8o 7dZh[m :[C_bbe The Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK—The chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party on Wednesday announced he was stepping down after two and a half years at the helm as he considers a potential run for public office next year. The state party announced that Will Bond would serve until Sept. 14, when the party’s state committee elects a new chairman. Gov. Mike Beebe, a Democrat, announced he’s backing Vincent Insalaco as Bond’s replacement.

Bond, a former state legislator and attorney who lives in Little Rock, said he’ll decide over the next couple weeks whether to run for office but would not specify which race he was considering. Bond last year ruled out running for a central Arkansas congressional seat. “In a couple weeks I think I’ll know whether I want to continue to serve in some capacity and put my name on the ballot,� Bond said. Bond was elected party chairman in February 2011 and headed the party as it suffered major

setbacks in the state. Republicans won control of the state Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in the November election, and swept all four of the state’s U.S. House seats. Bond said those losses didn’t factor into his decision to step down and noted that Republicans only hold 51 of the 100 seats in the House. “Obviously it was not a perfect election cycle for us in 2012, but we did outperform most of the pundits and the polling that was out there particularly in the House,� Bond said.

Beebe thanked Bond for his service and said he believed Insalaco would be a strong replacement for him. “The progress our state has made can only continue by electing responsible leaders, and Vincent Insalaco will work to elect strong leaders who will continue an agenda focused on jobs and education,� Beebe said in a statement issued by the party. Insalaco, a North Little Rock businessman who has worked on Democratic campaigns for decades, said his priorities would

be on the state’s top races including defending Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, the open race for governor and the lieutenant governor’s race. Insalaco said he also wanted to “do everything we can� to win back the state House. “I think the average Arkansan is concerned about jobs and education and the roads being fixed and we have to get back to talking about those issues,� Insalaco said. “We have to have candidates who can do that very thing, talking about what people care about in their districts.�

Blowout could tip regulator focus to shallow-water drilling 8o @[\\ 7co The Associated Press

Last week’s blowout on a natural gas rig off the Louisiana coast could shift regulators’ focus to shallow-water drilling and make an overhaul of safety equipment regulations more likely. The rig, owned by Hercules Offshore and operated under contract to Walter Gas & Oil, spewed gas July 23 that eventually ignited. The fire damaged the Hercules 265, which was within days of wrapping up its drilling contract. No injuries were reported and 44 workers were evacuated before the fire began. Authorities believe sand and sediment clogged the well the next day, shutting off the gas. The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement has opened an investigation, working with the Coast Guard. Interest is expected to focus on the apparent failure of the blowout preventer, a series of that’s supposed to shut off flow from a well when drillers lose control.

Woman, 20, slain in Tyler park caught in gang crossfire TYLER, Texas—Investigators say a mother shot to death at an East Texas park where she had taken her 3-year-old son was caught in the crossfire of some gangs. Tyler police on Wednesday said nobody has been arrested in the killing of 20-year-old Briana Raquel Young of Tyler. Her son was not hurt in Tuesday night’s gunfire at P.T. Cole Park. The woman was dead at the scene. Police say about 30 people were in the park when the shooting started. Police believe shots were fired from within the park and from a nearby vehicle. Crime Stoppers has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and charges filed. ÆJ^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii

Failure of a blowout preventer at the Gulf bottom about 5,000 feet beneath the Deepwater Horizon rig contributed to the massive oil spill from BP PLC’s Macondo well in 2010. James Watson, director of the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said he plans to meet with executives from shallow-water drilling companies to discuss safety and risk reduction. Since the BP disaster, much of regulators’ focus has been on drilling in Gulf water thousands of feet deep. That’s where the biggest oil companies are chasing large new fields and the risks seemed greatest in the wake of the spill. But inshore drilling continues as well, with some of the focus shifting to oil instead of natural gas as the price for gas has fallen because of onshore finds, includ-

ing in shale formations. Gas peaked at around $13 per million British thermal units in 2008, before the economic collapse. It’s now trading at less than $4 per million BTUs. Crude oil had topped $130 per 42-gallon barrel before the collapse, but has rebounded more robustly and recently traded in the $107 range. At the Walter site about 55 miles south of the coast, a relief well is expected to be drilled to provide a permanent seal. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement spokeswoman Eileen Angelico said Tuesday that other options for sealing the well remain under consideration. Angelico said no gas is leaking and no sheen has been seen in the water. She said the blowout preventer has not yet been recovered. The Walter blowout was the second incident in shallow

water off Louisiana in less than a month. A crew on a production platform operated by Talos Energy lost control of a well July 9 while trying to plug it. The well leaked small amounts of gas and an oil-water mixture called condensate over three days, but did not suffer a blowout. There was no explosion. BSEE had been studying possible changes to blowout preventer requirements before the latest well blowout, Watson said. Those comments have drawn congressional scrutiny. A July 12 letter signed by 11 Republican U.S. House members, including Louisiana’s Steve Scalise, asked Watson about when new rules might be issued and whether they would require drillers to junk current blowout preventers. The House members also lauded upgrades that companies have

made and new voluntary standards published last year by the American Petroleum Institute. Most blowout preventers are made by National Oilwell Varco Inc., Cameron International Corp. and Hydril Pressure Control, a unit of General Electric Co. Those companies have reported a surge in blowout preventer orders since the BP spill, as oil and gas drilling expands on land and sea.

Arkansas experts seek quick end to China chicken ban LITTLE ROCK—Poultry experts hope China will quickly lift restrictions put in place after nine Arkansas chickens were exposed to a strain of avian flu. The U.S. Department of Agriculture told Arkansas’ congressional delegation that China had stopped importing Arkansas chicken parts. Nine birds in Scott County were exposed to a nonpathogenic strain of avian flu during floods in June. Bans are often imposed for 90 days as growers confirm that illnesses haven’t spread. The Arkansas Farm Bureau said Wednesday it would expect all Arkansas farms to have a clean bill of health in September. Economist Matt King said Wednesday that agriculture officials and trade groups will work to convince China that Arkansas poultry is safe. ÆJ^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii

With 3 ‘hops,’ NSA gets millions of phone records 8o F[j[ Oeij WdZ CWjj 7fkppe The Associated Press

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama’s national security team acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that, when investigating one suspected terrorist, it can read and store the phone records of millions of Americans. Since it was revealed recently that the National Security Agency puts the phone records of every American into a database, the Obama administration has assured the nation that such records are rarely searched and, when they are, officials target only suspected international terrorists. Meanwhile, at a hacker convention in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the head of the NSA said government methods used to collect telephone and email data helped foil 54 terror plots—a figure that drew open skepticism from lawmakers back in Washington. “Not by any stretch can you get 54 terrorist plots,” said the chairman of the Senate Judiciary

Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. More than a decade after the terror attacks of 2001, the phone-record surveillance program has stirred deep privacy concerns on Capitol Hill, where Leahy said Wednesday during an oversight hearing: “If this program is not effective, it has to end,” adding that, “So far I’m not convinced by what I’ve seen.” In the House earlier this month, lawmakers said they never intended to allow the NSA to build a database of every phone call in America, and they threatened to curtail the government’s surveillance authority. “You’ve got a problem,” Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., told top intelligence officials weeks ago. Sensing a looming shift in the privacy-versus-security cultural calculus, the White House responded: It has ordered the director of national intelligence to recommend changes that could be made to the phone-surveillance program, and President Barack Obama

■ With a chart listing thwarted acts of terrorism, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., left, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., right, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, question top Obama administration officials Wednesday on Capitol Hill in Washington about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs. Associated Press

invited a bipartisan group of lawmakers to the White House on Thursday to discuss their concerns about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs.

A White House official says the top Democrats and Republicans on the House and Senate intelligence panels will attend. So will Democratic Sens. Mark Udall of Colorado

and Ron Wyden of Oregon, two lawmakers who raised the alarm about the NSA’s sweeping domestic programs. Two others calling for more NSA oversight, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois and

Sensenbrenner, will also attend. The administration has emphasized what it describes as oversight of its activities by the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, by congressional committees and by internal auditors. It has said, for example, that under rules approved by the court, only 22 people at NSA were allowed to approve searches of the phone database, and only seven positions at NSA, a total of 11 people, were authorized to disclose any results believed to be associated with persons in the United States. Testimony before Congress on Wednesday showed how easy it is for Americans with no connection to terrorism to unwittingly have their calling patterns analyzed by the government. It hinges on what’s known as “hop” or “chain” analysis. When the NSA identifies a suspect, it can look not just at his phone records, but also the records of everyone he calls, everyone who calls those people and everyone who calls those people.

O.J. Simpson wins small victory in bid for freedom 8o IWdZhW 9^[h[X The Associated Press

CARSON CITY, Nev.—O.J. Simpson won a small victory Wednesday in his bid for freedom as Nevada granted him parole on some of his 2008 convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery involving the holdup of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel room. But the decision doesn’t mean the 66-year-old Simpson will be leaving prison anytime soon. The former NFL star was convicted on multiple charges and still faces at least four more years behind bars on sentences that were ordered to run consecutively.

Economy may need support from Fed still 8o 9^h_ijef^[h I$ Hk]WX[h The Associated Press

WASHINGTON—A key government report and a statement from the Federal Reserve made clear Wednesday that the U.S. economy still needs help. The economy grew at a lackluster 1.7 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the Commerce Department said. That was better than a revised 1.1 percent rate for the first quarter, but still far too sluggish to quickly reduce unemployment. The Fed’s statement suggested it’s too early to signal a pullback in its $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases. The bond purchases have been intended to keep long-term interest rates down to spur borrowing and spending and invigorate the economy. In a statement after a policy meeting, Fed policymakers slightly downgraded their assessment of the economy. They also noted that mortgage rates, which have helped drive home sales, have risen from record lows. And the Fed noted that inflation has remained consistently below its 2 percent target and is still a potential threat to the economy. Continued stimulus by the central bank could lead to higher inflation. Some economists said they thought the Fed was now less likely to start scaling back its bond buying in September, when many analysts have said it would probably do so. December may now be a more likely time for the Fed to taper its purchases—if the economy shows consistent gains in the second half of the year. “This is a step back from taper talk, though not the final word,” said Paul Edelstein, an economist at IHS Global Insight. The Fed, like many private economists, expects growth to accelerate later this year. Job gains have been steady, and auto and home sales strong.

The economic drag from federal spending cuts that kicked in this year is also expected to ease. “We continue to anticipate a meaningful acceleration in the economy in the back half of the year,” said Joseph LaVorgna, an economist at Deutsche Bank. A key indicator will come Thursday, when the Institute for Supply Management issues its U.S. manufacturing index for July. Manufacturing appears to be rebounding after slumping earlier this year. The Fed will pay even closer attention to the employment report for July, which will be issued Friday. It’s expected to show that employers added a solid 183,000 jobs. The unemployment rate is forecast to dip to a still-high 7.5 percent from 7.6 percent. Despite the economy’s tepid showing in the April-June quarter, it’s now improved for two straight quarters as measured by the growth in the U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP.

ISLAMABAD—A new set of players but the same lingering issues are confronting John Kerry on his first visit to Pakistan as U.S. secretary of state: the fight against extremism, American drone attacks inside the country and the war in Afghanistan. The Obama administration hasn’t sent its top diplomat to Pakistan since 2011, and Kerry’s trip is a chance for the former senator to get to know the newly elected prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, who came to power in Pakistan’s first transition between civilian governments. Kerry arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday evening, and planned meetings Thursday with civilian and military leaders, including Sharif. Senior administration officials traveling with Kerry told reporters that while relations with Pakistan have grown touchy in recent years, there is the prospect of resetting those ties with Sharif’s government and working together on major issues—counterterrorism, energy, regional stability, economic reforms, trade and investment. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss Kerry’s agenda.

The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners released its decision in favor of Simpson’s parole request. Commissioners noted Simpson’s “positive institutional record” and his participation in programs addressing “behavior that led to incarceration.” The board noted Simpson had no previous criminal convictions and still has consecutive sentences to serve in the Las Vegas case. In Los Angeles, Simpson was tried for murder and acquitted in the 1994 deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. In a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press, Goldman’s father and sister, Fred and Kim

Goldman, said they respect the legal process but now feel a “sense of vulnerability.” “This is not our personal case against Simpson but since he’s been incarcerated there has been a reprieve and calm for us,”

they said. “It is unsettling for our family to know that the person we believe responsible for Ron and Nicole’s murder could soon have his freedom.” Simpson and his legal team were pleased with the ruling.

Man pleads not guilty to charges in kidnapping and killing of three Ohio women; bond is $6M 8o J^ecWi @$ I^[[hWd The Associated Press

CLEVELAND—A man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to kidnapping and killing three women whose bodies were found wrapped in trash bags earlier this month. Michael Madison, 35, appeared via a video feed from jail for his arraignment, for which he was handcuffed and wearing orange jail scrubs. When the judge asked him how he was, Madison answered, “I’ve been better.” The judge continued his $6 million bond and said she would appoint two attorneys to represent him. A pretrial hearing was set for Tuesday morning. Madison is facing six charges of aggravated murder, two for each victim under different killing theories. He’s also charged with three counts of kidnapping, three counts of gross abuse of a corpse, one count of rape and one count of weapon possession by an ex-convict. East Cleveland police found one body July 19 when a caller reported a foul smell coming from a garage. Two more bodies were found the next day. Madison was arrested in the deaths of Shirellda H. Terry, 18, Angela H. Deskins, 38, and Shetisha D. Sheeley, 28. The medical examiner said Terry and Deskins were strangled and Sheeley died of “homicidal violence by unspecified means.” The indictment said Madison raped Terry between July 10 and July 19. She was last seen July 10 leaving a Cleveland elementary school where she had a summer job. Madison was classified as a sex offender in 2002, when he was sentenced to four years in prison for attempted rape, according to Cuyahoga County

court records. He had previous convictions in 2000 and 2001 for drug-related charges. The mayor of East Cleveland said Madison indicated he might have been influenced by Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell, who was convicted in 2011 of killing 11 women and

sentenced to death. His case is under appeal. Sowell was arrested after a woman escaped from his house in 2009 and said she had been raped there. Police found the mostly nude bodies in garbage bags and plastic sheets throughout his property.

Nearly 13,000 agencies in all 50 states and four U.S. territories participate is what’s commonly called the 1033 Program, after a section of the National Defense Authorization Act that permits the transfer to law enforcement agencies of military property no longer needed. The program has grown drastically in recent years, due in large part to the scaling down of the military from two wars, tight local-government operating budgets and eligibility expansion in 1996 to include all state and local law enforcement work. In fiscal year 2012, a record $546 million worth of property was transferred. Property is accepted on an as-is, where-is and first-come, first-serve basis. The receiving law enforcement entity bears all transportation and maintenance costs. None of the gifted property can be sold or leased without permission, or stockpiled. Personal use is barred. Applications are handled by state coordinators. Overall command, including the responsibility to root out abuse, is handled by an office at the Defense Logistics Agency in Battle Creek, Mich. Law enforcement agencies have been suspended for flagrant violations, such as selling property for a profit, transferring weapons without permission or failing to notify officials about lost or stolen weapons. The logistics agency’s Law Enforcement Support Office suspended the transfer of firearms to police forces more than a year ago because of concerns that state coordinators weren’t keeping adequate inventory records. Communities can still obtain other types of tactical equipment, such as aircraft, boats, Humvees, body armor, weapon scopes, infrared imaging systems and night-vision goggles. There’s no indication that the suspension of firearms distribution has slowed local police from gorging themselves on general property items—a long list that includes bookcases, hedge trimmers, telescopes, brassieres, golf carts, coffee makers and television sets. The weapons program had serious problems. A sheriff in Bureau County, Ill., was accused of lending government-issued M-14 rifles to unauthorized friends. The firearms manager for the program in North Carolina pleaded guilty in April to stealing M14 and M-16 assault rifles and other weapons, selling some on eBay for more than $30,000. A story last year in The Arizona Republic that contributed to the suspension of the weapons program detailed how officials at the Pinal County sheriff’s office budgeted the expected proceeds from the auction of some Defense Department discards in violation of program rules. Other unused pieces worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were given to non-police agencies. Critics fear the glut of freebies is helping to transform many local police departments into paramilitary forces. Norm Stamper, a retired Seattle police chief who is now a spokesman for a nonprofit group that supports legalizing and regulating illicit drugs, said the program is fueling a pervasive, troubling trend. “The harm for me is that it further militarizes American law enforcement,� Stamper said. “We make a serious mistake, I’m convinced, in equipping domestic law enforcement, particularly in smaller, rural communities, with this much military equipment.�

5*#-; 18'45+)*6

Inadequate oversight has been a major shortcoming of the program. Along with suspension of firearms distribution, state coordinators were instructed to perform an inventory of all weapons, aircraft, boats and armored vehicles. Navy Vice Adm. Mark Harnitchek, director of the Defense Logistics Agency, said state coordinators and the support office in his agency both perform a “sanity check� on requests. “The intent here is that we’re not giving Barney Fife an attack helicopter,� he said. “If you want a helicopter, you’ve got to have significantly more justification for it than if you want a (personal computer) that’s 8 years old.� But in Alabama, the Oxford Police Department received more than $10.4 million in equipment, including a $1.5 million piece of infrared surveillance apparatus for a helicopter it doesn’t have.

Oxford’s police chief said the department had asked for nightvision goggles for its SWAT team but instead received the highvalue item it could not use. Many state program coordinators say they have the staff and funding to conduct only a handful of on-site inspections annually—if at all. That effectively leaves to the very departments that receive the equipment the job of certifying that the goods are being used properly and have not been lost, stolen, sold or given away. Federal reviews of the state programs also have been spotty. The Defense Department is required to conduct program compliance reviews of each state program every two years, but many states have often gone much longer without one. Mississippi’s program, coordinated by its Office of Surplus Property, once went six years without a review. And in March 2012, federal overseers scolded

that office for accumulating more than $8 million in property because it isn’t a law enforcement organization, and therefore was ineligible. Suspension of the firearms distribution is expected to be lifted in October. In the meantime, staffing at the federal office with direct supervision has increased 50 percent, to 18 employees. A new computer system has been installed to improve inventory tracking. And a spokeswoman said new rules limit distribution of most items to one per law enforcement officer, except for consumables like clothing and batteries. Those rules weren’t in place when Rising Star’s police chief went on his online shopping spree. “He spent most of his time on the computer looking for that stuff. He wasn’t really doing his job,� said June Stone, a former member of Rising Star’s city council.

Airlines continue endless quest for better boarding strategies 8o :Wl_Z Ae[d_] The Associated Press

DALLAS—Getting people on and off an airplane quickly is so complicated that even an astrophysicist couldn’t figure it out. The astrophysicist, Jason Steffen of the University of Illinois, normally contemplates things such as axionlike particles. But after waiting in one boarding line too many, he turned to the mysteries of airline seating. “I thought there had to be a better way,� he says. So, after a series of calculations, he deduced that the best system would be a combination of filling window seats first, then middle and aisle ones, while also spacing the boarding passengers two rows apart. There was just one problem—passengers would have to board in precise order. Good luck with that. These are the same passengers who don’t turn off their phones even after they’re told it’s a federal law. “Well,� Steffen observes, “I understand why airline people aren’t calling me.� But the search for the perfect boarding process goes on. Most airlines allow first-class and other elite customers to board first. After that, some fill the rear rows first and work toward the front. Others fill window seats and work in toward the aisle. Some used to employ a hybrid called the reverse-pyramid. Southwest Airlines has random seating: There are no assigned seats—passengers sort things out themselves. They can pay extra to be near the front of the boarding line. All of this matters more than you might think. Passengers want to board early to find space in the overhead bins for their rolling carry-on bags. For airlines, every minute that a plane sits at the gate makes it more likely that the flight will be late, hurting the carrier’s on-time rating and causing passengers to miss connecting flights. There’s an economic cost to running late too. Researchers from Northern Illinois University say that at one

N Groups of passengers wait at a United Airlines gate to board a flight in separately numbered lanes at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. For airlines, every minute a plane sits at the gate makes it more likely the flight will be late, hurting the carrier’s on-time rating and causing passengers to miss connecting flights. But the perfect boarding process remains elusive. Even an astrophysicist couldn’t figure it out. major airline, which they didn’t identify, every extra minute at the gate added $30 in costs. American Airlines, which uses a back-to-front system for boarding coach passengers after it takes care of elite customers, says that it takes about 25 minutes to board passengers on a smaller, narrow-body plane such as a Boeing 737 and about 35 minutes on a bigger plane such as a Boeing 777. In recent weeks, United and American—the nation’s biggest and third-biggest carriers—have rolled out new strategies for faster boarding. ■American is letting passengers board sooner if they don’t put anything in the overhead bins. The idea is to get more people seated quickly before passengers with rolling bags clog the aisle. ■United reduced the number of boarding groups from seven to five

while adding lanes in gate areas— from two to five at big airports. That’s designed to eliminate “gate lice�—the name road warriors use for those anxious passengers with big carry-ons who cause a traffic jam by creeping forward long before their group is called. American and United tested their new procedures in a handful of airports before rolling them out across the country in time for the peak summer travel season. United CEO Jeff Smisek says his airline’s new method has helped cut boarding-related departure delays by more than 60 percent. Boarding methods go back to the dawn of commercial flight, but they’ve gotten more complicated as the airlines have created different classes of passengers and sold the right to board early. Since 2008, most large airlines have

imposed fees for checking a bag, which encourages passengers to carry more on board. At the same time, airlines have reduced flights to control costs, making planes more crowded. The result: Space in the overhead bins has never been more valuable. Recognizing the potential value in that coveted real estate, Spirit Airlines began charging for stowing a bag in the overhead three years ago—the fee now runs up to $100. Spirit says the fee speeds up boarding by cutting down the number of carry-on bags. The big airlines haven’t copied Spirit for fear of angering customers. They’ve looked for other ways to improve boarding. In May, American began offering early boarding to passengers with just a personal item that fits under the seat. In a test at several airports, it cut boarding by two minutes per flight,

according to Kevin Doeksen, the airline’s director of customer planning. With about 1,900 flights per day on American, that adds up. What’s to stop a passenger from moving up in line by promising to put a personal item under the seat, then stuffing it in the overhead bin anyway? “It would be a lie to say that never happens,� says Tessa Letren, an American gate agent at BaltimoreWashington International Airport. “We can’t always police that.� Still, Letren supports the new policy, which she says cuts the amount of time that planes spend on the ground between flights. Before the 2010 merger of United and Continental airlines, United used the inside-out method of boarding— window seats first, then middle, then aisle—while Continental went backto-front. After much testing, the combined airline kept the United approach. Earlier this year, United set up additional boarding lines in the terminals to attack congestion in the gate area. The back-to-front system, still used by many airlines, seems logical. But some studies have shown that it’s slower than windows-middle-aisle. Lou Agudo, a United gate agent who worked at Continental before the merger, says boarding by rows practically invited confusion. Just when he thought everyone in Group 2 had gone through, and he called Group 3 to start, “Twenty people would walk up and say they didn’t hear the announcement.� Some had missed the call for their group, while others decided to get in line no matter what, he says. The extra lanes have made his job easier. Selita Garcia of Chicago wondered why anybody in the front of the plane would want to board first. “We’re always bumping into all those business-class people—if it’s not my purse, then I’m hitting them with my bag,� says Garcia, who manages a doctor’s office and was taking her grandson to vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, recently. “Why let them on first? The plane is not taking off until everybody is on the plane.�

Pets getting on planes often suffer rough rides just going through airport Dear Abby: I travel a lot in my work with animal protection. Often I’ll encounter dogs and cats in distress as soon as I reaach the a i r p o r t . Dear Distracted Abby by their own Jeanne Phillips thoughts, their owners seldom realize they’re upsetting the pets they’re carrying through the terminal. Animal carriers are carelessly swung to and fro, banged against counters, chairs and onto the

floor. Cat or dog shoulder bags are dangled at angles that make it impossible for the animal inside to balance. These poor pets can be confused, dizzy and suffer from motioan sickness before the flight even takes off. Traveling is stressful enough for animals. So please, everyone—if you fly with an animal companion, keep it foremost in your thoughts. Use a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier, preferably one with wheels, that’s designed for animals and to fit under your seat. And please, keep the carrier upright and steady.—Animal Lover in Washington, D.C. Dear Animal Lover: Thank you for the heads up. In case someone’s pet might have

other issues while traveling, it’s always a good idea to talk about it with a veterinarian before embarking. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) Dear Abby: I’m a 19-yearold guy and for as long as I can remember my parents have yelled at me. It lasts for hours at a time at night after they come home from work almost every day. It’s never about me doing something bad, but how I never do anything up to their expectations. I don’t know if they’re right or wrong, but it makes me depressed and I have been thinking about suicide. I have never been able to have an opinion of my own because as soon

as I had one my parents would yell at me all over again and call me “stupid and retarded.� I cry myself to sleep at night hoping God will put me to sleep forever. Please tell me what to do.—Justin in San Francisco Dear Justin: Verbal abuse— which is what you are describing—can be every bit as destructive as physical abuse. Perhaps it’s time to consider moving out. With the constant verbal battering you’re receiving, it’s no wonder you’re depressed. Harming yourself is not the answer to your problem. Because you have reached the point of wanting to hurt yourself, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The number is 800-784-2433. A counselor there can direct you to the help you need. You may have to build your self-esteem from the ground up, but the effort will be well worth it. My thoughts are with you. Dear Abby: A few months ago my mother joined Facebook and I readily accepted her friend request. I’m a 30-something IT specialist, but Mom is new to the Internet. There are times I have gone online and seen posts in which my mother is arguing with my friends about their lifestyles. I have friends and business contacts from all over the world, and their backgrounds are high-

ly varied as are their belief and value systems. I have told Mom in private and public discussions that she owes someone an apology, but she shrugs it off. Am I wrong for asking her to respect my friends, and would you suggest I “unfriend� my mother until she learns proper Internet etiquette?—Digital Family Man Dear Family Man: Because what your mother is doing could negatively affect your business, you should do EXACTLY that. And quickly! Universal Press Syndicate

Reader barks back about encouraging pet adoptions Dear Heloise: Barking dogs are becoming a huge problem. We encourage people to adopt but do not mention that it is the responsibility of dog owners Heloise to keep them Advice quiet and pick up after them. Many owners will not do this! I have 20 dogs within a block radius of my home. Some days it’s like I’m next door to a kennel. Please stop encouraging dog ownership—we have enough already.—A Reader in Texas Responsible dog ownership does mean care, feeding and training so the dogs are socialized and learn to behave. The majority of pet owners do right by their animals, but there will always be some who don’t take proper care of their animals. There are many dogs out there that need a good home. If owners don’t pick up after their pet uses your yard, you should ask politely for them to clean up. Remember, the encouraging words are to remind people to visit a shelter and adopt!—Heloise P.S.: Readers, there is the perfect pet for you or your family just sitting and waiting to become part of a loving household. USEFUL CUPCAKE LINER Dear Heloise: I started using a paper cupcake liner to hold my vitamins and medications I’m supposed to take with my breakfast. It fits nicely on my plate, and my vitamins/medications don’t roll around into my food. It helps to know I’ve taken all of them and that I didn’t accidentally drop one from

my plate, and I can reuse the liner.—Lori McGowen, Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. PHOTO BOXES Dear Heloise: I have wanted to share this hint with you. Through the years, my mother had collected boxes and boxes of photos she had taken at family picnics, weddings and other gatherings. As my mother got older and developed dementia, I started going through the boxes. I made stacks for each of her family members and put them in large envelopes with their names on them. The day of my mother’s funeral, we also had a meal to follow at the church. I passed out to each family all the photos for them to have. My aunts, uncles and cousins had never seen some photos that my mother had taken through the years. The sad day turned out to be a happy day of memories shared. Now each of those families can pass them down to their loved ones.—Connie K., Harrisonburg, Va. HANDY FUNNEL Dear Heloise: Whenever I used to try to add the rinsing agent into my dishwasher dispenser, I always spilled much of it all over while trying to pour into the hole with the door lying flat. Now I use a small funnel held into the hole and pour directly into the dispenser, with no spills.—Jeanette Rudishauser, via email Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 782795000, or you can fax it to 1-210HELOISE or email it to Heloise@ Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints in my column.

In Our View

How Far? There must be some limit on intelligence agency data gathering

S

ince National Security Agency contractor employee Edward Snowden leaked documents revealing the large-scale collection of telephone and Internet records by U.S. intelligence, the country has been somewhat divided. There are those who consider Snowden something of a hero, a whistleblower who shed light on a program that violates the privacy of American citizens. Other are less concerned about privacy than the country’s ability to sniff out and counter terrorist attacks. A vote last week by the U.S. House of Representatives reflected that divide. Lawmakers allowed the NSA collection program to continue, but the margin was thin—just seven votes. Now the U.S. Senate is looking at limiting NSA’s collection effort. The Senate Judiciary Committee grilled intelligence chiefs Wednesday over the effectiveness and scope of the program. The same day London’s Guardian newspaper published even more of Snowden’s revelations, including expanded information on the NSA’s practice of compiling huge amounts of data not only on foreign nationals, but American citizens. This includes everything from phone records to emails to Facebook posts. U.S. officials insist the data on American is not used or even searched unless there is a suspected link to terrorism and then only if a warrant is obtained from the secret Foreign Intelligence Service Act Court. The problem is that collecting and stockpiling the data for possible future needs is itself illegal under the Patriot Act, which requires that there be some reasonable grounds for suspicion before these sorts of records can be collected. Few nations value personal privacy as much as we do in the U.S. But it seems our government is more and more willing to ignore our privacy protections for the sake of national security. And we the people are more and more willing to let them do just that in the interest of personal safety. How far are we willing to let these intelligence operations go? How much of our privacy are we willing to give up? Those are questions our nation must resolve. There must be a line in the sand where we say here and no farther. The scope of this data collection will only expand until we do. And then we will have no privacy left to defend.

OTHER VIEWPOINTS

Vandalism to landmarks threatens hospitality For all the millions of visitors who trek through Washington, D.C., each year, the national capital suffers remarkably few incidents of vandalism. Perhaps it’s because visitors realize that the various statues and memorials are in a very real sense “their” monuments. Even defacement to make a political statement is rare. Twice, in 1991 and 2002, the statue of Christopher Columbus in front of Union Station was splashed with red paint and the slogan “510 Years Oppression,” presumably to mark the sufferings of the native peoples following his arrival in the New World. The Vietnam War and the memorial to its veterans remain controversial, which must explain why the memorial’s black granite wall has been splashed with an oily substance and had swastikas carved into its surface. The Washington Post reports no such incidents since 2007. The National Gallery has had the problem facing all art museums: an unhinged aesthete trying to attack certain paintings. Two years ago, in separate incidents of vandalism, the same woman attacked a painting by Gauguin and another by Matisse. She wound up in the city’s psychiatric hospital. The infrequency likely explains the city’s sense of outrage when late last Thursday or

early Friday someone splashed green paint on the giant statue of Abraham Lincoln in his memorial. This is as close as it gets to civic sacrilege in the capital. Monday a vandal struck the great gothic National Cathedral, splashing green paint on the organ in the Bethlehem Chapel and similarly marking the floor, pews and a mural of the Children’s Chapel, where fixtures are scaled to fit a 6-year-old child. Also Monday, green paint was found on the statue of Joseph Henry, the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and on a statue of Martin Luther just outside the Luther Place Memorial Church. Church members at a postservice morning coffee found green paint mixed with feces splashed in the choir loft. Police quickly arrested a suspect in the attack on the cathedral, a woman police described as homeless, speaking little or no English and probably having “mental health issues.” The damage is quickly being repaired and should soon be unnoticeable to the average tourist. The real damage would be if the authorities, in an overabundance of caution, further tightened up access and security in a city that is still, for the most part, delightfully free and open.

Detroit’s long, liberal descent into bankruptcy DETROIT—In 1860, an uneasy Charles Darwin confided in a letter to a friend: “I had no intention to write atheistically” but “I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars.” What appalled him had fascinated entomologist William Kirby (1759-1850): The ichneumon insect inserts an egg in a caterpillar, and the larva hatched from the egg, he said, “gnaws the inside of the caterpillar, and though at last it has devoured almost every part of it except the skin and intestines, carefully all this time avoids injuring the vital organs, as if aware that its own existence depends on that of the insect on which it preys!” Government employees’ unions living parasitically on Detroit have been less aware than ichneumon larvae. About them, and their collaborators in the political class, the question is: What. Were. They. Thinking? Well, how did Bernie Madoff or the Enron executives convince themselves their houses of cards would never collapse? Here, where cattle could graze in vast swaths of this depopulated city, democracy ratified a double delusion: Magic would rescue the city (consult the Bible, the bit about the multiplication of the loaves and fishes), or Washington would deem Detroit, as it recently

did some banks and two of the three Detroit-based automobile companies, “too big to fail.” But Detroit failed long ago. And not even Washington, whose recklessness is almost limitless, is oblivious to the minefield of moral hazard it would stride into if it rescued this city and, then inevitably, others that are buckling beneath the weight of their cumulative follies. It is axiomatic: When there is no penalty for failure, failures proliferate. This bedraggled city’s decay poses no theological conundrum of the sort that troubled Darwin, but it does pose worrisome questions about the viability of democracy in jurisdictions where big government and its unionized employees collaborate in pillaging taxpayers. Self-government has failed in what once was America’s fourth-largest city and now is smaller than Charlotte, N.C.

Detroit, which boomed during World War II when industrial America was “the arsenal of democracy,” died of democracy. Today, among the exculpatory alibis invoked to deflect blame from the political class and the docile voters who empowered it, is the myth that Detroit is simply a victim of “de-industrialization.” In 1950, however, Detroit and Chicago were comparable— except Detroit was probably wealthier, as measured by per capita income. Chicago, too, lost manufacturing jobs, to the American South, to south of the border, to South Korea and elsewhere. But Chicago discerned the future and diversified. It is grimly ironic that Chicago’s iconic street is Michigan Avenue. Detroit’s population, which is 62 percent smaller than in 1950, has contracted less than the United Auto Workers membership, which was more than 1 million in 1950, and now is around 390,000. Auto industry executives, who often were invertebrate mediocrities, continually bought labor peace by mortgaging their companies’ futures in surrenders to union demands. Then city officials gave their employees—who have 47 unions, including one for crossing guards—pay scales comparable to those of autoworkers. Thus did privatesector decadence drive publicsector dysfunction—government negotiating with government-employees’ unions that are government organized

as an interest group to lobby itself to do what it wants to do: Grow. Steven Rattner, who administered the bailout of part of the Detroit-based portion of America’s automobile industry, says “apart from voting in elections, the 700,000 remaining residents of the Motor City are no more responsible for Detroit’s problems than were the victims of Hurricane Sandy for theirs.” Congress, he says, should bail out Detroit because “America is just as much about aiding those less fortunate as it is about personal responsibility.” There you have today’s liberalism: Human agency, hence responsibility, is denied. Apart from the pesky matter of “voting in elections”—apart from decades of voting to empower incompetents, scoundrels and criminals, and to mandate unionized rapacity—no one is responsible for anything. Popular sovereignty is a chimera because impersonal forces akin to hurricanes are sovereign. The restoration of America’s vitality depends on, among many other things, avoiding the bottomless sinkhole that would be created by the federal government rescuing one-party cities, and one-party states such as Illinois, from the consequences of unchecked power. Those consequences of such power—incompetence, magical thinking, cynicism, and sometimes criminality— are written in Detroit’s ruins.

So, what do you want to replace Obamacare with? By the start of next year, we will have a pretty good idea of how the Obama presidency will be judged. For all the pushing and shoving over the budget, government spying on Americans and some contrived controversies, the legacy of this administration will be largely defined by the success of Obamacare. Or failure. Fairly or not, the impression of the Affordable Care Act will be taken when it launches. If it gets off to a rocky start, if large numbers of people refuse to accept the individual mandate, if the beginnings are tangled in a bureaucratic knot, then Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats will be in deep doodoo, as the man once said. The president knows that. He acknowledged to The New York Times that we can expect some “glitches.” His peeps are going through all kinds of gyrations trying to get the machinery to creak into action to make sure that it’s not far worse than an embarrassment of glitches. The Republicans definitely are happily aware of the stakes, as evidenced by their blatant attempts to sabotage the whole thing. Their constant votes to repeal the

entire law and the moves now under way to simply pull its funding are just part of the attack. This is all-out war. Obviously it’s being fought on many other fronts. There are incendiary issues like immigration and abortion, but this is the season when everyone tries to get fiscal. We can look forward to some sumo wrestling between now and year’s end, collisions over whether the United States government can pay its debts and even whether the government should partially just shut down. That will happen if the White House and Congress can’t reach some sort of budget accommo-

dation by Sept. 30. The polls indicate that there are many who probably would prefer that they don’t wait, that they just close the doors now. The just-released Wall Street Journal survey projects an Obama approval rating that keeps going down; it’s now at 45 percent. But that’s lofty when compared with Congress. Its positive number is just 12 percent -- 83 percent disapproval. And why not? The 113th is on its way to being the least productive in U.S. history, on pace to enact 72 pieces of legislation. That’s mind-boggling, so bad that House Speaker John Boehner insists he and his colleagues should not be judged just on what they enact, but what they repeal. That’s right: Mr. Speaker argues that they should get points for undoing the mess. Is it impolite to point out who made this mess? That would be the political opportunists who put personal ambition over those they are supposed to serve. It definitely would include the cynical and greedy profiteers who bribe officeholders with campaign funding to make sure they can hoard the great bulk of the nation’s wealth, accumulating

more and more at the expense of everyone else. Americans have begun to conclude that they don’t really have a stake in the system. If this belief becomes irreversible, we are doomed as a country, because a democracy can thrive only if its citizens think that there are benefits for being part of the team. Health care is obviously a fundamental part of any society. When proper treatment is effectively denied to millions of people, that’s a problem. That’s the situation now. Obamacare is an effort to improve on that status quo. If the Republicans included conscience in their agenda, they’d couple their adamant opposition with credible proposals of their own. They don’t. Every once in a while, they cynically pretend they have a program, but it’s always a charade. All they’re interested in is political gain and bringing down Obama, because as Obama told the Times, he had “the gall to win the presidency.” The problem is that while they continue their sustained tantrum, the nation’s health is deteriorating. Apparently, that doesn’t seem to matter very much.

Clinic

Continued from Page 1A Judge Eric Clifford. In order for the higher court to grant Harris’ appeal, it had to find that not only was Harris’ lawyer ineffective but that the lawyer’s failings affected the outcome of the trial. On appeal, Harris argued he would have pleaded guilty or no contest to the judge and asked the judge to sentence him if he’d been advised that he was not eligible for probation from a jury if convicted of murder. Before Sept. 1, 2011, a judge could grant probation to a murder defendant if a term of deferred adjudication was assessed by the judge. If a defendant successfully completes a term of deferred adjudication probation, he does not have a permanent conviction on his criminal record. Effective Sept. 1, 2011, Texas law changed and no longer gives judges the option of sentencing defendants convicted of murder to deferred adjudication or probation. Harris’ case bears some similarities to a 2010 Bowie County murder case the 6th District considered. Billy Dee Riley Jr., 25, was found guilty by a Bowie County jury of fatally shooting Terry Matthews, 19, in the parking lot of Texarkana Expo Hall, where a brawl had broken out during the first hours of Jan. 21, 2009. Riley was found guilty and sentenced to 50 years. During Riley’s trial, like Harris’, defense lawyers erroneously told the jury their client was eligible for probation. But unlike in Harris’ trial, Riley’s lawyers didn’t realize their mistake until after the jury found Riley guilty of murder. The trial judge denied the defense’s request for a mistrial. Riley appealed his conviction, and the 6th District reversed it, finding his lawyers’ incorrect understanding of the law affected the outcome of the case. The state appealed the 6th District’s ruling on Riley to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. The state’s highest criminal court disagreed with the 6th District’s view of the probation eligibility issue and found the lawyers’ mistake didn’t affect the outcome of the case. “The high court pointed out that even if Riley had pled guilty or (no contest) to the trial court, ‘the same results were available,’ that is, it was just as likely that the trial court would have sentenced Riley to 50 years’ incarceration as it was for the jury to recommend that sentence,” the Harris opinion states. The Court of Criminal Appeals sent Riley’s case back to the 6th District to address other issues Riley had raised on appeal. After considering Riley’s other complaints in his appeal, the 6th District affirmed Riley’s conviction. Harris’ appeal tries to distinguish between his case and Riley’s, but the 6th District rejects Harris’ arguments. “The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals was clear in Riley that ‘the analysis of the prejudice prong turns on whether the deficiency (of the lawyers) made any difference to the outcome of the case,’” the Harris opinion states. Harris and Riley both remain in custody of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. Riley is being held at the McConnell Unit in Beeville, Texas, according to the TDCJ Website. His parole eligibility date is June 12, 2035. Harris is being held at the Telford Unit in New Boston, Texas. His parole eligibility date is July 4, 2041.

Pie company: Rebirth hope in penguin name J^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii NEW ORLEANS—A New Orleans snack pie company says it’s honored to have an endangered penguin chick named “Hubig” after the company. The chick is one of three that had to be helped out of their shells in March after pipping, or cracking the shells, in an incubator. Simon Hubig Pie Co. spokesman Drew Ramsey said Tuesday that he hopes the penguin fans’ choice foretells parallel stories of rebirth for African blackfooted penguins and the company. The Audubon Aquarium says the name got 42 percent of 3,068 votes cast last week. Ramsey recalls that penguin caretakers put on Hubig’s Tshirts for a feeding just after the company’s factory burned down a year ago. The company has the city’s permission to rebuild on a site in the area where its original factory stood.

Other than saving a shelter dog, this is the best.” It is the second $100,000 dog park Texarkana citizens have won from PetSafe in the past two years. Tarpley and other dog park supporters gathered Wednesday afternoon under Pavilion 3 at Spring Lake Park near where the future Kylee Sullivan Dog Park will be placed. Since entering the competition, supporters of the park said they wanted to have the park named for Kylee Sullivan, a 7-year-old girl who died in the Albert Pike flood June 11, 2010. Kylee saved her money and raised money to donate to animal shelters. Kylee’s great-grandfather, Jewel Sullivan, said he was so thankful for all the hard work so many people did to make winning the park a reality. “It is such a wonderful blessing for her family,” Sullivan said. “Having the dog park is great and naming it for her is gravy on the potatoes.” The final vote count in the contest was Texarkana, Texas, with 144,706 followed by Mountain House, Ca., with 137,643 votes, a difference of 7,063. When the online leader board of the contest went black on July 29, Texarkana had a leg up on Mountain House by 13,000 votes. Mountain House won a $25,000 prize in the contest along with Conway, Ark., and Wheeling, W. Va. A $25,000 Bark from your Heart prize was awarded to Silver Cliff, Co. (It went to the finalist with the highest percentage of votes to the city’s population.) Tarpley said the PetSafe spokesperson told him that PetSafe officials will be on hand to celebrate this year’s win of Texarkana, Texas, when they come to town for the opening of Texarkana, Ark., JefFURson Park. Texarkana, Ark., won the contest’s grand prize last year and

Cotton

Continued from Page 1A formerly held by Democrat Mike Ross. Ross is now running for Arkansas governor. Cotton, 36, is a former management consultant who served in the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was elected to the 4th District in November, after racking up endorsements during his primary bid from national Republican leaders including U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona and conservative groups such as the Club for Growth. The Club for Growth in February launched the first television ad against Pryor, seen by many as a signal that the group would back Cotton’s potential candidacy. Other conservative groups said they’re prepared to back Cotton’s bid. “Representative Cotton is a conservative leader and rock star candidate. Arkansas is now one of the very top pickup opportunities for Republicans this cycle and we are excited to get engaged in the race on behalf of Rep. Tom Cotton,” said Steven J. Law, president and CEO of American Crossroads, a GOP group tied to Republican strategist Karl Rove. Pryor is viewed by many Republicans as the most vulnerable Senate incumbent next year, especially after recent GOP gains in Arkansas. Republicans in November took over the state Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction and swept all four of the state’s U.S. House seats.

work on the park, next to Arkansas High School, continues and is expected to be completed this fall, said Texarkana, Ark., Public Works Director Paul Hackleman. Tarpley said PetSafe officials did not come to this year’s gathering for Texarkana, Texas, because they had celebrated with Texarkana, Ark., last year. Carol Say, a volunteer who worked to promote the dog park, said she thinks having two dog parks for Texarkana will unite both cities. Many volunteers who worked diligently to help Texarkana, Ark., win last year worked for the Texas side this year. “Arkansas busted their tails and Texas busted it,” Say said. “Texarkana is Twice as Nice—that statement used to be bogus, but this should make it stick. This should bring it together to make the slogan real.” Nancy Smith, another volunteer nearby, echoed Say’s comment. “When someone needs help, it’s not Texarkana, Texas, it’s not Texarkana, Ark., it’s Texarkana, USA,” Smith said. Mayor Bob Bruggeman came out to congratulate volunteers whose efforts are making the park a reality. Bruggeman said he thought the city winning this year’s contest, last year’s contest and the recent Benjamin Moore Paint What Matters contest, speaks highly of Texarkana citizens. “I’m just overwhelmed. This is a tremendous opportunity for both our communities. Two years in a row is unheard of,” Bruggeman said. “This tells me when people put their minds to getting something done, it can be done.” Bruggeman complimented the leadership of Dr. Brandy Moore, an assistant professor of psychology at Texas A&M University-Texarkana, in helping lead the charge to organize volunteers to help win the contest. Moore said she wanted all the credit to go to the 30 or so volunteers who continued to encourage others to vote, either by hanging out at area businesses and spreading the word about the contest or doing so by putting out email, text and

Republicans are trying to unseat Pryor and three other Democratic incumbents who represent states that Republican Mitt Romney won in last year’s presidential race: Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. Democrats need to defend 21 seats, including seven in largely rural states that Obama lost in 2012. Republicans need to pick up six seats to regain Senate control. On Wednesday, Pryor’s campaign wasted no time in hitting back, accusing Cotton of alienating constituents on issues ranging from farming to Social Security. “Instead of putting Arkansas first, he has put his own political career ahead of the people of Arkansas and sided with Washington insiders and special interests,” Pryor’s campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said in a statement. “When the people of our state review Tom Cotton’s record, they won’t like what they see.” Pryor reported in July that he ended the second quarter with nearly $4 million in the bank for his re-election bid. Cotton has $1 million on hand. Groups on the right and left have already been airing ads throughout the state targeting Pryor. A gun control group founded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has aired spots criticizing the Democratic lawmaker for voting against expanded background checks.

Facebook reminders. “It’s all about the community all coming together,” Moore said. Moore said Debbie Westfall was one of the volunteers who worked to get votes from home and had encouraged everyone she knew to vote and keep voting. Westfall, wearing a T-shirt she had made that said, “Texarkana wins,” across the front, brought her Saint Bernard, Dakota, to the park to celebrate the news. She lives within walking distance of the park and said she plans to use it. “I was on Facebook everyday asking everyone, ‘Have you voted?’” Westfall said. Moore said many people had to work together for this goal to be achieved. “Without people like Debbie, this wouldn’t have happened,” Moore said. Texarkana Parks and Recreation Manager Robby Robertson said the addition of a dog park to Spring Lake Park had been added to the city’s master plan since 2009. Robertson, who brought his Dalmatian, Millie Mae, to the park, said he thinks the dog park will eventually be one of his dog’s favorite haunts. “This thing was a 100 percent volunteer driven,” Robertson said. “The volunteers did a wonderful job, and I think this is deserved. I’m just shocked. I didn’t lose faith, but this is a total shock and surprise.” Kelly Sullivan, the great-aunt of Kylee, brought her Chinese crested, Jackson, to the announcement Wednesday. Sullivan said she and her great-niece always shared the love of animals and having the park named in Kylee’s honor is a testament to that love. “If you gave her money for her birthday, she would go buy dog food to take to the animal shelter,” Sullivan said. “This is a huge thing for the family.” bbell@texarkanagazette.com

Pryor used his first TV spot to defend his vote against the criticism. Since taking office in January, Cotton has enjoyed a high profile with multiple appearances on national programs such as Meet the Press. Cotton in July wrote a column for the Wall Street Journal opposing Senate immigration legislation. He’s also been targeted by Democrats who viewed him as a likely challenger to Pryor. Two Democratic political action committees, Patriot Majority USA and Senate Majority PAC, launched a $270,000 television ad buy in June attacking Cotton for allegedly seeking the national spotlight at the expense of his district. Cotton has faced criticism from Democrats for initially opposing the farm bill over objections to the food stamp program. Cotton later voted for a version of the farm bill that did not include funding for food stamps. Cotton’s also come under fire for a recent proposal that would have extended sanctions on Iranian human rights violators to their families — an idea that has been criticized as eliminating due process. Cotton, who withdrew the proposal, has defended the idea and said it would only apply to sanctions on Iranians, not any American citizens. Cotton’s appeal to conservative activists stems from his resume as a Harvard-educated veteran who’s known for his rhetorical flourishes.

When he joined with House Republicans to vote for the federal health overhaul’s repeal, he compared the unsuccessful effort to defeat the law to an ancient Roman senator’s ongoing call to destroy Carthage. When Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez died in March, Cotton responded with “Sic semper tyrannis,” or Latin for “thus always to tyrants.” John Wilkes Booth uttered the same after assassinating President Lincoln. Cotton’s candidacy will likely have a domino effect on other races in Arkansas. House Majority Leader Bruce Westerman plans to seek the Republican nomination for Cotton’s seat and will formally launch his campaign in August, a person who had spoken to the lawmaker told the AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Cotton had not yet formally launched his Senate campaign. Lt. Gov. Mark Darr has said he’d likely run for Cotton’s seat if the congressman ran for Senate. Beth Anne Rankin, who was the party’s nominee for the seat in 2010 and lost the primary to Cotton last year, said Wednesday she’d consider running again if Cotton challenges Pryor. Janis Percefull, a community college teacher, is the only Democrat running for the 4th District seat. State Rep. Jeff Wardlaw said Wednesday he’s considering running for the Democratic nomination. the error was fixed. Now it’s happened again. City of Dallas spokesman Frank Librio says the stuck meter has been replaced and accurate billing will follow. Librio also apologized for the error and the inconvenience to Hoffman.

Continued from Page 1A “Going forward, the whims of Washington politicians won’t dictate student loan interest rates, meaning more certainty and more opportunities for students to take advantage of lower rates,” House Speaker John Boehner said. The measure passed 392-31. Undergraduates this fall would borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate for subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would borrow at 6.4 percent. The rates would be locked in for that year’s loan, but each year’s loan could be more expensive than the last. Rates would rise as the economy picks up and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money. But for now, interest payments for tuition, housing and books would be less expensive under the House-passed bill. “Changing the status quo is never easy, and returning student loan interest rates to the market is a longstanding goal Republicans have been working toward for years,” said Rep. John Kline, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. “I applaud my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for finally recognizing this long-term, market-based proposal for what it is: a win for students and taxpayers.” The House earlier this year passed legislation that is similar to what the Senate later passed. Both versions link interest rates to 10-year Treasury notes and remove Congress’ annual role in determining rates. “Campaign promises and political posturing should not play a role in the setting of student loan interest rates,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. “Borrowers deserve better.” Negotiators of the Senate compromise were mindful of the House-passed version, as well as the White House preference to shift responsibility for interest rates to the financial markets. The resulting bipartisan bill passed the Senate 81-18. With changes made in the Senate—most notably a cap on how interest rates could climb and locking in interest rates for the life of each year’s loan— Democrats dropped their objections and joined Republicans in backing the bill. Interest rates would not top 8.25 percent for undergraduates. Graduate students would not pay rates higher than 9.5 percent, and parents’ rates would top out at 10.5 percent. Using Congressional Budget Office estimates, rates would not reach those limits in the next 10 years. The White House endorsed the deal over objections from consumer advocates that the proposal could cost future students. “The bottom line is that students will pay more under this bill than if Congress did nothing, and low rates will soon give way to rates that are even higher than the 6.8 percent rate that Congress is trying to avoid,” said Chris Lindstrom, higher education program director for the consumer group US PIRG. Rates on new subsidized Stafford loans doubled to 6.8 percent July 1 because Congress could not agree on a way to keep them at 3.4 percent. Without congressional action, rates would stay at 6.8 percent—a reality most lawmakers called unacceptable. The compromise that came together during the last month would be a good deal for all students through the 2015 academic year. After that, interest rates are expected to climb above where they were when students left campus in the spring, if congressional estimates prove correct.

NEW YORK—Major League Baseball is threatening to kick Alex Rodriguez out of the game for life unless the New York Yankees star agrees not to fight a lengthy suspension for his role in the sport’s latest drug scandal, according to a person

familiar with the discussions. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Whether Commissioner Bud Selig would actually issue a lifetime suspension was unclear and a permanent ban could be shortened by arbitrator Fredric

Horowitz to about 200 games, the person said. The number of players likely to be disciplined stood at 14 Wednesday. Front and center is Rodriguez, baseball’s highest-paid player and the most prominent one linked in media reports over the past seven months to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida

Elite field ready for major tuneup at Bridgestone AKRON, Ohio—In the dark, head-to-head, 11 shots clear of the pack, from rooftops and in every other conceivable way, Tiger Woods has dominated at Firestone Country Club. He just says it makes him feel comfortable. “I’ve done it all different ways, that’s the thing,� Woods said Wednesday, the day before beginning his run at an eighth win at the Bridgestone Invitational. “Some years I’ve striped it and have really played well, and other years I’ve hit it all over the lot and had to be creative. I’ve chipped and putted and holed out. It’s been such a mixed bag.� Woods, coming off a disappointing British Open and steeling for the PGA Championship next week at Oak Hill, headlines a bumper crop of world-class players who are entered. The 73-player field includes 49 of the top 50 players in the world ranking, including this year’s major champions (Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Phil Mickelson), last year’s winner (Keegan Bradley) and European stars Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood.

NEW YORK—The NFL Pro Bowl rosters for next year will be selected in a draft by team captains, with Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice assisting as alumni captains. The NFL will abandon the AFC vs. NFC format that has been in place since 1971. The league says Wednesday that fan voting will determine the players in the draft pool. The draft will be televised by the NFL Network on Jan. 22. The game will be played Jan. 26 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. Other changes are coming to the game, too. The ball will change hands at the end of each quarter, which could double the opportunities for two-minute drills. Kickoffs (and return specialists) will be eliminated—teams will start on their own 25yard line. Defenses will be allowed to play cover-2 and press coverage in addition to man, and several clock tweaks have been instituted to speed up the game and prompt offensive play. —THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Yet, Woods always seems to grab the spotlight. That’s what happens when a player has won more than $9.5 million in just 14 appearances at a single venue. Woods’ first win, in what was then called the NEC Invitational, came in 1999 when he shot a third-round 62 to win in his third appearance, holding off Mickelson by a shot. A year later, Woods’ triumphal march to an 11-shot victory on the final day was delayed by inclement weather, with his final putt finding the bottom of the cup in almost total darkness. The strobe lights of photographers made it look like a scene from an old movie. The year after that, Woods overcame Jim Furyk in an epic, seven-hole, sudden-death playoff for his third win in a row at Firestone. After finishing fourth, tying for fourth and tying for second the next three years, Woods strung together wins in his next four appearances. The win in 2006 is remembered for a wayward 9-iron shot that hit on the cart path near the ninth hole and bounced onto the roof of the clubhouse, the ball being pocketed by a kitchen helper.

on a night Locke didn’t have his best stuff. Locke’s rapid ascension from fifth starter to All-Star has fueled Pittsburgh’s relentless pursuit of the Cardinals, but St. Louis spent four innings pecking away at the left-hander’s usually deft mix of breaking balls. The Cardinals came in hitting just .155 (30-194) during their late-July swoon but peppered Locke for 10 hits, the most he has given up in 31 career starts. They came in various shapes and sizes, from a hard-hit double by Beltran in the fourth to a swinging bunt by David Descalso that traveled 20 feet. Locke tied a season high by giving up four runs. He struck out six and walked one as his ERA rose from 2.15 to 2.36. Wainwright, however, couldn’t take advantage of the first signs of life by the St. Louis offense in a week. Every time the Cardinals would push in front, the Pirates would chip away, eventually tying it on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen in the fifth. It marked the third straight day the Pirates produced a run on a sac fly after failing to do so for nearly two months. Wainwright allowed four runs on eight hits, striking out six and walking one in seven innings.

Angels and rookie Martin Perez for Texas, the starting pitchers, each allowed only one run while pitching into the eighth. Both had been struggling before their duel. Williams scattered eight hits over 7 2-3 innings with two walks and one strikeout. The right-hander, who had an 8.90 ERA and five losses his previous seven starts, left with two on in the eighth, when Kohn got Ian Kinsler on an inning-ending flyball. Perez had allowed at least four earned runs in three consecutive starts. The lefty struck out four, walked two and allowed only four hits in 7 1-3 innings before Tanner Scheppers closed out the eighth.

Continued from Page 1B Josh Hamilton connected for the only Angels run, a 422-foot blast to right-center in the seventh. His 16th homer tied the game. Rangers closer Joe Nathan (31) struck out two and walked one in the top of the ninth to win for the second night in a row. Texas won the series opener Monday night when A.J. Pierzynski and Geovany Soto both homered in the ninth inning off Angels closer Ernesto Frieri, Soto’s blast providing a 4-3 victory. Then on Tuesday, after trailing four times, the Rangers again scored in the ninth off Frieri and won 14-11 after Leonys Martin hit a threerun homer in the 10th. It was the first time in their team history the Rangers have won three in a row on gameending homers. The last major league team to do it was Detroit in 2004. Jerome Williams of the

Cards

Continued from Page 1B starting a pattern that repeated itself throughout the night. The Cardinals found ways to score off starter Jeff Locke, but Pittsburgh kept chipping away. Martin’s second hit of the night gave Pittsburgh its 25th comeback win of the season. The teams with the two best records in the National League were mostly spectators before Wednesday’s non-waiver trade deadline, though the Pirates acquired minor leaguer Robert Andino from Seattle. Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington stressed he aggressively sought help for one of the National League’s weaker offenses but didn’t want to do it while gutting a replenished farm system. “We talk a lot about, we don’t want to do something stupid,” Huntington said before the game. “We were willing to do something stupid, we just didn’t want to do anything insane.” Instead the Pirates, like the Cardinals, opted to do nothing major. The difference is the Cardinals have a roster dotted with players sporting World Series rings. Not Pittsburgh, which is in pursuit of its first playoff appearance in more than two decades. While Huntington will continue to search for help, he isn’t sure his team needs that much, even

of the weekend, which means Thursday’s makeup at home against Arizona could be his last home game for the Rangers, depending on the timing and length of any suspension. The All-Star right fielder, who leads the Rangers with 25 homers and 73 RBIs, is eligible for free agency after the season. Cruz came out of Tuesday night’s game with a bruised left quad after being hit by a ball while running the bases. Martin and Elvis Andrus had consecutive hits to start the Rangers first, but both were retired on the bases. Martin had a bunt single but was thrown out trying to go to third on Andrus’ single to right. Andrus was then picked off at first base by catcher Chris Iannetta. Andrus’ single extended his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest active streak in the majors.

Legion

Continued from Page 1B game, but I had confidence our bats would get the job done," Odom said. "(Brandon) Shoemaker came on and shut them down, which was really big for us. He did a great job. I think everyone will come out more focused against Texarkana on Thursday." Tomball’s lead was 7-5 in the third inning when Shoemaker relieved started Michael Herrera with the bases loaded and nobody out. A strikeout and two shallow flies to center got him out of the jam. Shoemaker allowed three hits and one unearned run over the final seven frames. Meanwhile, Pecos (9-1) southpaw Devon Torres turned in a gutsy effort, going the first seven innings and throwing 145 pitches. Tomball finished the game with 18 hits. Anthony Lucas and Eric Dunbar had three hits each. "We were trying to get by this game throwing our third and fourth pitchers," Odom said. "We're looking good for the next two games. This wasn't the first time Shoemaker has come up big for us. In the divisional tournament he threw a complete game with thirteen strikeouts. We hope to see more of the same if he pitches again."

Ban

Mikey Slipka contributed two singles and two walks for Tomball, while Allan Hooker, Will Harless, Nick Falcone and Josh Horton added two hits each. Pecos banged out 10 hits in the first three innings before running into Shoemaker. Torres, J.J. Lenma, Brandon Garnto and Dejmon Cominato had two hits each for the Pirates.

GAME 2 League City 11, Cass County 1

Hard-throwing Jay Hawley was clocked in the upper 80s shutting down League City in the first inning, but after throwing 40 pitches in the second frame his velocity slipped considerably. Hawley, who threw 91 pitches in four innings of work, was also a victim of the Rebels' poor defense that committed three errors in the first three innings. League City (29-2-2) scored twice in the second on a throwing error and consecutive singles by Clint Johnson, Tyler Patterson and Dylan Ebbs. Dalton Richardson singled in the sec-

Continued from Page 1B Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLB’s investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Baseball has considered suspending him for violations of its labor contract and drug agreement. Even if he is banned from baseball, there is precedent for a shortened penalty: When pitcher Steve Howe was given a lifetime ban in 1992 in his seventh suspension for drug or alcohol use, an arbitrator reduced the penalty to 119 days. A three-time MVP, Rodriguez acknowledged four years ago that he used performanceenhancing substances while with Texas from 2001-03 but repeatedly has denied using them since. He’s been sidelined all season since hip surgery in January and then a quadriceps strain during a minor league rehabilitation assignment in July. The Yankees say he’ll start another rehab Friday—DoubleA Trenton appeared to be the likely destination. “Hopefully Alex will be back shortly thereafter,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. Rodriguez didn’t stop to talk with reporters after his workout Wednesday at the team’s minor league complex in Tampa, Fla. At first, MLB and the union thought talks on the Biogenesis probe could be completed by Friday, but negotiations to avoid grievances are likely to push back announcements until at least Saturday or Sunday. Others accused in media reports of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis include a trio of 2013 All-Stars: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego short-

ond for League City, moved up on a wild pitch, eventually scoring on another throwing error by the Rebels. The Rebels had scoring opportunities in the game, but their only run crossed the plate in the fourth. Zach Bassham walked, moving up on Cody Henry's second hit of the game. Bassham was gunned down at the plate on DeRico Banks' grounder to third, but Henry scored when Wil Teague hit a Texasleaguer on a 3-2 offering from winning pitcher Max McElligot. McElligot scattered five hits, walking four and striking out five in seven innings of work. Justin Garza led League City at the plate with three singles, while Ebbs, Richardson, Austin Botello and Shelby Ganey contributed two hits each. Both of Botello’s hits were doubles. Besides Henry's two hits, Cody Hawkins, Teague and Chase Musgrove had singles for the Rebels. Cass County 000 100 00 — 1 5 3 League City 021 320 03 — 11 13 0 Two outs when game ended because of 10-run rule. Jay Hawley, Houston Williams (5), Clayton Jaynes (7) and Zane Howard; Max McElligot, Brandon Holder (8) and Clint Johnson. WP-McElligot; LP-Hawley.

PGA

Continued from Page 1B Woods won by eight shots in 2007 and then missed the tournament the following year as he recovered from knee surgery. Even that didn’t halt his string as he returned in 2009 and took advantage of Padraig Harrington’s triple-bogey 8 on the 70th hole to win by four strokes. “This is one of those courses where, for me over the years, I just have felt very comfortable,” Woods said. “I think my record has been pretty good since I’ve turned pro here.” But, as there always seems to be with Woods since his personal meltdown, there are nagging questions. After streaking to 14 major championship victories, he has failed to win in his last 17 tries. The latest disappointment came at Muirfield two weeks ago when he seemed in perfect spot to win but faded to a closing 74 and watched rival Mickelson come out of nowhere to swoop in and grab the claret jug. “I had a chance to win and didn’t get it done on Sunday,” Woods said. Others are plotting to not only win the Bridgestone but use it as a springboard to the year’s final major a week later. Mickelson, returning to action after the dramatic win at Muirfield, is geared up to continue his hot play. He won the Scottish Open the week before the British. Why not make it four in a row by sweeping through the Bridgestone and PGA? “Playing the week before (a major) personally helps me play

my best and get my best golf out,” he said. Rose won the U.S. Open at Merion, then turned around and had his high hopes dashed when he missed the cut in his homeland’s national championship. After time off, he’s rejuvenated and ready for golf’s version of the stretch run. “You can’t rest on your laurels,” he said. “After the U.S. Open I had time constraints and would miss the odd practice session. Your game soon lets you know about that. The last couple of weeks I’ve had the chance to get back to normal, get back to doing all the right things.” A player trying to salvage what has been a winless calendar year is Rory McIlroy, still No. 3 in the world rankings behind Woods and Mickelson. But he’s encouraged by looking back at where he was just about a year ago. “I was really searching last year for answers,” he said. “I’ve come to the conclusion that I just need to go out there and play. I was focusing too much on mechanics and technique, and I just needed to go out there and see the shots and play them. Obviously, that seemed to work well.” It worked so well that McIlroy had a top 10 at the Bridgestone and then turned around and captured the 2012 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. Bradley, who took advantage of Furyk’s double bogey on the 72nd hole to win last year, gets wired just coming to Firestone,

an historic old layout that has hosted many memorable majors and regular tour events over the decades. “Because of the history of the golf course, you really can feel it,” he said. “It’s one of these courses where you can tell the tournament has got a little more of a buzz to it.” This year, the buzz is especially loud.

stop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Most of the players face 50game bans as first offenders. Both sides felt urgency to complete the process because by the middle of next week, teams will have fewer than 50 games left. And that would force players to complete suspensions during the playoffs or at the start of next season. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski protected against a possible suspension of Peralta by acquiring slickfielding infielder Jose Iglesias from Boston in a three-team trade Tuesday night. “If it were a 15-day thing, like a typical injury, I think we could have comfortably dealt with it with the players we already have,” Dombrowski said Wednesday. “But when you start to talk about 50 days and a possible playoff run, we feel better going ahead with Jose.” While MLB told the union which players it intends to suspend, it hasn’t issued formal notices of discipline. Because of that, the countdown hasn’t started under baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement, which says the suspensions are effective on the third business day after the notice is issued. The sides also haven’t decided whether suspensions for firsttime offenders who challenge the penalty can be announced before an arbitration decision. If some stars knew their seasons were about to be cut short, they weren’t letting on Wednesday, at least publicly. “I can’t talk about nothing right now. Just wait for the news,” Cabrera said Wednesday before playing against Cincinnati. Peralta thinks he shouldn’t be on the list of players linked to Biogenesis.

MARKET REPORT 5B

TEXARKANA GAZETTE / THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2013

WALL STREET ROUNDUP

J^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii NEW YORK—After a day of stalled rallies, the stock market closed out July with its best monthly gain since January. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index ended the month 4.95 percent higher. That’s the biggest increase since January, when it rose 5.04 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average also had its best month since January. Markets surged in July after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke assured investors that the central bank wouldn’t pull back on its stimulus program until the economy was strong enough. The central bank is buying $85 billion of bonds a month to keep down interest rates to encourage borrowing and hiring. On Wednesday, the Fed reaffirmed its commitment to support the economy in a statement released after the end of a two-day meeting. The central bank slightly downgraded its assessment of U.S. economic growth from “moderate� to “modest,� suggesting that it’s not about to wind down its stimulus. Stocks started higher Wednesday after the government said that the economy grew at a faster pace in the second quarter than economists had forecast. The gain was mostly gone by the time the Fed statement came out at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The market staged another rally for about an hour after the Fed’s announcement, pushing the S&P 500 within two points of breaching the 1,700 level. The market

reversed course in the final hour, leaving the S&P flat. The U.S. grew at an annual rate of 1.7 percent from April through June as businesses spent more and the federal government cut less spending, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Economists had expected growth of 1 percent, according to the data provider FactSet. There was also an encouraging report on hiring ahead of the government’s monthly jobs survey due out Friday. U.S. businesses created a healthy 200,000 jobs this month, payroll company ADP said, as companies hired at the fastest pace since December. ADP also raised its estimate of the number of jobs the private sector created in June. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index ended little changed at 1,685.73. The Dow Jones industrial average ended the day 21 points lower, or 0.1 percent, at 15,499.54. The Nasdaq composite gained 9.90 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,626.37. The index fell just five times during the month and is at its highest level in more than a decade. On the bond market, investors anticipated that the Fed’s slightly weaker assessment of the economy would imply a longer period of bond purchases. Bond yields fell as demand increased for U.S. government debt. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.58 percent from 2.66 percent just before the announcement.

OIL PRICES

J^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii NEW YORK—The price of oil rose the most in three weeks amid signs that the U.S. economy is improving, but not fast enough for the Federal Reserve to reduce its monthly bondbuying program. Still, many analysts don’t expect a further spike in oil prices like the one seen earlier in July. Benchmark oil gained $1.95, or 1.9 percent, to close at $105.03 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That’s the biggest one-day gain since oil rose $2.99 on July 10. Traders were encouraged by two economic reports. The government said the economy grew at a better-than-expected annual rate of 1.7 percent in the second quarter. And a survey from payroll company ADP showed U.S. businesses created a healthy 200,000 jobs this month. The reports signal the possibility of improved demand for gasoline and other refined products such as diesel fuel. Gasoline futures rose 3 cents to finish at $3.04 per gallon. In the afternoon, the Federal Reserve slightly downgraded its assessment of economic growth from “moderate� to “modest.� That’s an indication the Fed might need to maintain its $85 billion a month in bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term borrowing rates ultra-low and boosted purchases of riskier investments such as stocks and oil futures. The Fed statement boosted the price of oil above $105. Oil finished the month of July with a gain of $8.47 a barrel, or 8.8 percent. That helped

increase the cost of driving. Average gasoline prices rose 14 cents this month, to $3.63 a gallon Wednesday from $3.49 on July 1. AAA said it was the biggest monthly increase since February. At an average of $3.59 per gallon, drivers paid the third highest gas prices on record from Memorial Day through July 31, AAA said in a report Wednesday. The high for the period was $4.04 per gallon in 2008. Gas averaged $3.67 per gallon in 2011 through July. The latest supply data from the Energy Department was mixed. Oil supplies rose by 400,000 barrels last week—the first increase in five weeks—although supplies at the crucial Cushing, Okla., hub for benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude declined by 1.9 million barrels. Despite Wednesday’s jump in price, analysts don’t see oil rallying much further. Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates, expects oil to trade in a range of $103 to $106 a barrel in the near term before declining. The market has another key economic report to look forward to. On Friday the release of employment data for July will be examined for hints about future energy demand in the world’s No. 1 economy. Brent crude, traded on the ICE Futures exchange in London, rose 79 cents to end at $107.70 per barrel. • Heating oil rose 4 cents to finish at $3.04 a gallon. • Natural gas rose 1 cent to end at $3.45 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Facebook passes $38 initial public offering price 8o 8WhXWhW EhjkjWo The Associated Press

NEW YORK—Facebook has found redemption in the form of a soaring stock price. On Wednesday, the share price of the world’s most populous social network —and human data repository—briefly crept past $38 for the first time since its rocky public debut last May. In doing so, Facebook cleared a symbolic hurdle that has eluded the company for more than a year. Facebook’s ill-fated first trading day on May 18, 2012 was marred by technological glitches on the Nasdaq stock market. The stock closed with a disappointing 23-cent gain. And its performance didn’t improve, hitting a low of $17.55 last September. “I think Facebook in general and Zuckerberg in particular felt that they let everybody down,� said Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter of Facebook Inc.’s 29-year-old founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. “And by everybody I mean all their employees who had stock, all their early private investors who had stock.� On Wednesday, the stock traded as high as $38.31 before closing at $36.80, a price that places the company’s value at around $89 billion. When Facebook’s stock was trading around $24 in June, Zuckerberg said at the company’s first shareholder meeting, “we understand that a lot of people are disappointed in the performance of the stock and we really are too.� He also said that the company takes its responsibility to share-

■In this May 18, 2012, file photo provided by Facebook, Facebook founder, Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, center, rings the Nasdaq opening bell from Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. Facebook’s stock has passed its IPO price of $38 before the market opened on Wednesday. If the gains hold in the regular session, it would mark the first time the stock has risen above that mark since its rocky initial public offering in May 2012. holders “very seriously.� But he also stressed that Facebook has always focused on building its long-term value—its user base, its advertising business, the apps that connect to it, its online network. In other words,

build it and the value will come. At the moment, investors agree. Facebook has been on a roll since reporting stronger-than-expected earnings last week. The company posted the largest revenue gain it has

seen since late 2011, when it was still a private company. Its stock price is up 39 percent since it reported quarterly results on July 24. In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has gained less than 1 percent in that time. Investors are especially upbeat about Facebook’s fast-growing mobile advertising revenue, which went from zero at the start of 2012 to $656 million, or 41 percent of total ad revenue, in the April-June quarter this year. Facebook’s ability to grow mobile revenue was one of the biggest concerns in the weeks leading up to and the months after its initial public offering. Investors were worried that Facebook had not figured out how to make money from mobile advertisements, even as more and more of its users were accessing it on smartphones and tablets. Facebook urged patience, but until last fall, it did not disclose how much money it was bringing in from mobile ads. That didn’t sit well investors, who couldn’t infer from Facebook’s lack of guidance whether the company was on the right path. More importantly, they couldn’t determine whether Facebook’s stock was worth $38 or $18. “Share price volatility is caused by uncertainty,� Pachter said. And uncertainty, he added, “is caused by poor communication from management. When they went public there was just no comment on mobile other than a statement that it was a risk.�

Origin of salad-linked Buck up: President Obama offers outbreak still a mystery uplifting words to wary Democracts 8o =hWdj IY^kbj[ WdZ CWho 9bWh[ @Wbed_Ya The Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb.—Nearly 400 people across the country have been sickened by cyclospora, a lengthy intestinal illness usually contracted by eating contaminated food. But if you’re looking to find out exactly where it came from, you may be out of luck. Federal officials warned Wednesday that it was too early to say whether the outbreak of the rare parasite reported in at least 15 states was over. Health officials in Nebraska and Iowa say they’ve traced cases there to prepackaged salad. They haven’t revealed the company that packaged the salad or where it was sold, explaining only that most if not all of it wasn’t grown locally. The lack of information has fueled concern from consumers and food safety advocates who argue that companies should be held accountable when outbreaks happen and customers need the information about where outbreaks came from to make smart food choices. “If you want the free market to work properly, then you need to let people have the information they need to make informed decisions,� said Bill Marler, a Seattle attorney who specializes in class-action foodsafety lawsuits. Mark Hutson, who owns a Save-Mart grocery story in Lincoln, Neb., said he was unaware of customers who had raised concern about the product, which was unusual in situations involving foodborne illnesses. But Hutson said the lack of specific brand information threatened to hurt all providers, including the good actors that did nothing wrong. “I think there was so little

information as to what was causing the problem, that people just weren’t sure what to do,� he said. “Frankly, we would prefer to have the names out there.� Authorities said they still hadn’t determined whether the cases of cyclospora in the different states are connected.

J^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama sought to calm jittery Democrats Wednesday as they prepared to head home to face voters, assuring them they’re “on the right side of history� despite problems with the launch of his massive health care overhaul and an immigration fight with Republicans. In back-to-back closed sessions with House and Senate Democrats, Obama delivered his broad message about economic prosperity and expanding the middle class. But in return he was confronted with questions from Democrats who are nervous about implementation of the health care law as they look ahead to town hall meetings during the August recess—and to midterm elections next year. The meetings at the Capitol offered a rare chance for the party’s rank and file to press the president about budget talks with Republicans, the next chairman of the Federal Reserve and local jobs proj-

ects, as well as to appeal to him for help in next year’s campaigns. In a lighter moment, House Democrats presented Obama with a birthday cake. He turns 52 on Sunday. The White House is seeking to keep up enthusiasm among Democrats following a rough start to Obama’s second term. He has gained an agreement in the Senate to get at least some long-blocked nominees confirmed, and the Senate has passed its version of sweeping immigration legislation. But the immigration overhaul faces a deeply uncertain future in the Republican-led House, where many in the GOP oppose a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. Obama’s landmark health care law continues to baffle many Americans, and the administration failed to assuage the public when it abruptly announced this month that it would delay a major provision requiring employers to provide coverage due to concerns about complexity.

)GPGTCN /CPPKPI NGCMU JWTV 7 5 TGNCVKQPUJKRU J^[ 7iieY_Wj[Z Fh[ii FORT MEADE, Md.—The classified information Pfc. Bradley Manning revealed through WikiLeaks fractured U.S. military relationships with foreign governments and Afghan villagers, a former general said Wednesday at the soldier’s sentencing hearing. It was the first time testimony about the actual damage the leaks may have caused has been allowed at trial. Retired Army Brig. Gen. Robert Carr said the material Manning leaked identified hundreds of friendly Afghan villagers by name, causing some of them to stop helping U.S. forces. “One of our primary missions is to protect the population over there,� said Carr, who led a Defense Department task force that looked at the risks of the leaks. “We had to get close to the population, had to understand that population and we had to protect them. If the adversary had more clarity, as to which people in the village were collaborating with the U.S. forces, then there is a chance that those folks could be at greater risk.�

The former intelligence analyst was convicted of 20 of 22 charges for sending hundreds of thousands of government and diplomatic secrets to WikiLeaks and faces up to 136 years in prison. He was found not guilty of aiding the enemy, which alone could have meant life in prison without parole. Manning’s defense is hoping for a much shorter prison sentence and asked the military judge hearing the case to merge two of his espionage convictions and two of his theft convictions. If Army Col. Denise Lind agrees to do so, he would face up to 116 years in prison. Carr said the Taliban killed an Afghan man who had a relationship with the U.S., and later the Taliban said publicly the man was associated with the Manning leaks. The general, however, couldn’t find the Afghan’s name in the material Manning revealed. “We went back and searched for his name in the disclosures. The name was not there,� Carr said. The defense objected and the judge said she

would disregard that part of his testimony. Carr also said the leak of cables hurt relationships with other countries because the U.S. had to negotiate with them in order to bring supplies into war zones. Some of the cables “were very blunt and sometimes critical of how that particular host nation responded, so that created some fractures between our ability to get in there and communicate.� Military prosecutors said they would call as many as 20 witnesses for the sentencing phase. The government said as many as half of the prosecution witnesses would testify about classified matters in closed court. They include experts on counterintelligence, strategic planning and terrorism. The release of diplomatic cables, warzone logs and videos embarrassed the U.S. and its allies. U.S. officials warned of dire consequences in the days immediately after the first disclosures in July 2010, but a Pentagon review later suggested those fears might have been overblown.
