Employees of Morris Group of Birmingham, Ala., take out the last beam of the Washington Street bridge’s middle section 200 feet above Kansas City Southern Railway tracks. The 80-year-old Washington Street bridge at Clark Street began coming down Aug. 7 in preparation for its replacement by a roadwaytopped rail tunnel expected to be completed by next summer. The span is the lone bridge along the main north-south corridor connecting downtown and Interstate 20, making its closure since January 2009 a problem for motorists and business owners along Washington Street. Kanzaa Construction of Tokepa, Kan., holds the $8.6 million contract for the project. At top is a photo of the bridge before work began.

First time in 40 years: Beer at state coliseum By The Associated Press JACKSON — On Oct. 16, Hank Williams Jr. will be in Jackson to perform at the Mississippi Coliseum. Joining him will be country music acts Jamey Johnson, Colt Ford, Josh Thompson and The Grascals. But perhaps the star of the show will be something that’s never appeared — at least legally — at the four-decadeold coliseum: beer. The Mississippi Fair Commission voted to allow beer sales this year at the coliseum. The lack of beer availability at the facility been a contentious issue. Economic

development groups have said it keeps the coliseum off the list of potential sites for large-drawing acts like Williams, and have cited it as the impetus behind the failure of minor league sports teams that once called the facility home. Beer opponents have argued that since the coliseum sits on state property, the sale of alcoholic beverages shouldn’t be allowed. “There’s never been any law against it. It’s just strictly been up to the Fair Commission. We finally did it,” said Billy Orr, the Fair Commission’s executive director. Beer has been sold at other See Beer, Page A7.

One man held for five auto burglaries, car theft A Vicksburg man was arrested Tuesday in a string of auto burglaries and an auto theft earlier in the day on Baum, Chambers and Cherry streets. Henry Armstead, 27, 2418 Halls Ferry Road Apt. 2, was arrested at 12:13 p.m. at his girlfriend’s house on Yerger Street, Lt. Bobby Stewart said. “We received information that he was in possession of some of the stolen items,” Stewart said. Armstead was charged with five counts of auto burglaries and an auto theft. Three of the burglaries were reported between 7:38 and 8:57 a.m. in the 1300 block of Baum Street. In the same block, at 12:13 p.m., a 1992 Jeep Cherokee valued at $8,000 was reported stolen. Two other car burglaries were reported, in the 1300 block of Chambers — a block from Baum — at 8:57 a.m., and in the 2200 block of Cherry, also a block from Chambers and Baum. Missing on Baum from a 1985 Mercedes was an Alpine CD player valued at $200;

BATON ROUGE (AP) — State investigators have searched the office and vehicle of recently resigned Alcohol and Tobacco Control Commissioner Murphy Painter. The investigators’ applicaMurphy tion for a warPainter rant indicated they were seeking evidence that Painter had stalked and harassed a former employee. A computer and two thumb drives, portable devices that hold data, were among the items seized from Painter’s office, according to a search warrant return filed Tuesday in state district court. A laptop and thumb drive were seized from Painter’s state-provided 2010 Dodge Charger. Painter, who served in the position for 14 years, resigned Friday, four days after former assistant Kelli Suire complained to the Louisiana Office of State Inspector General. IG investigator Shane Evans said in a search warrant application Monday that Suire had filed a formal complaint with the Louisiana Department of Revenue that had caused Painter to be reprimanded. Evans also told state District Judge Bonnie Jackson that preliminary review of a state computer system revealed that Painter had searched for personal information on Suire as recently as Aug. 9 and that he also probed for information on Suire’s attorney, Jill L. Craft. “He had run a criminal history on me and printed out a Google map to my house,” Craft said. Suire worked at the ATC headquarters from March 2007 until November 2009, Evans said. “Suire advised that she felt alarmed and threatened by Painter’s actions, as he intentionally made his uninvited presence known at her home,” Evans said. “He has called her as early as 5 a.m. to ask her what she was doing up that early because he had driven by and seen the light on at her house,” Evans told the judge.

Gulf surface cleaner, but questions about contamination lurk far below WASHINGTON (AP) — Researchers are warning that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a bigger mess than the government claims and that a lot of crude is lurking deep below the surface, some of it settling perhaps in a critical undersea canyon off the Florida Panhandle. The evidence of microscopic amounts of oil mixing into the soil of the canyon was gathered by scientists at the University of South Florida, who also found poisoned plant plankton — the vital base of the ocean food web — which they blamed on a toxic brew of oil and dispersants. Their work is preliminary, hasn’t been reviewed by other scientists, requires more tests to confirm it is BP’s oil they found, and is based on a 10-day research cruise that ended late Monday night. Scientists who were not involved said they were uncomfortable drawing conclusions based on such a brief look. But those early findings follow a report Monday from Georgia researchers that said as much as 80 percent of the oil from the spill remains in the Gulf. Both groups’ findings have already been incorporated into lawsuits filed against BP. Both groups paint a darker scenario than that of federal officials, who two weeks ago

Shrimpers haul in their catch in Bastian Bay near Empire, La. announced that most of the oil had dissolved, dispersed or been removed, leaving just a bit more than a quarter of the amount that spewed from the well that exploded in April. At the White House on Aug. 4, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco said: “At least 50 percent of the oil that was released is now completely gone from the system, and most of the remainder is degrading rapidly or is being removed from the beaches.” That’s not what the scientists from South Florida and Georgia found. “The oil is not gone, that’s for sure,” University of South Florida’s David Hollander said Tuesday. University of Georgia’s Samantha Joye said: “It’s a tre-
mendous amount of oil that’s in the system. ... It’s very difficult for me to imagine that 50 percent of it has been degraded.” Marine scientist Chuck Hopkinson, also with the University of Georgia, raised the obvious question: “Where has all the oil gone? It hasn’t gone anywhere. It still lurks in the deep.” NOAA spokesman Justin Kenney defended his agency’s calculations, saying they are “based on direct measurements whenever possible and the best available scientific estimates where direct measurements were not possible.” But the vast majority of it is based on “educated scientific guesses,” because unless the oil was being burned or skimmed, measurements weren’t possible, NOAA response scientist Bill Lehr said this month.

Hood: No decision yet on BP lawsuit By Emily Wagster Pettus The Associated Press JAC KS O N — Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood said Tuesday he hasn’t decided yet whether to file a state lawsuit against BP over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. In an interview with The Associated Press, Hood said he’s taking time to evaluate possible claims for damages created by the spill or by chemicals used to break up
the oil. He said determining the environmental impact on fish, for example, could take months or longer. “We’re in no hurry to file any litigation,” Hood said. Alabama’s attorney general sued BP last week. Mississippi’s Republican Gov. Haley Barbour last month urged Hood, a Democrat, not to file any “premature” lawsuits against the company. Barbour said after Alaska sued over the Exxon
Valdez spill, that state had trouble receiving help from the oil company. Hood said Tuesday that BP is not acting on most oil-spill claims filed by people and private businesses in Mississippi. He said BP’s own statistics from last Thursday showed that 6,050 of 9,600 of the “actionable” Mississippi claims were still being evaluated. That’s 63 percent.

Obama should adhere to promise President Barack Obama this week heralded the end of the U.S. combat mission this month in Iraq as a matter of promise kept and schedule adhered to. He must remember this come July 2011, the date he has promised to begin drawing down in Afghanistan. No one believes that a complete withdrawal will occur on that date, but Americans should settle for nothing less than a substantial down payment on that promise, with as complete a withdrawal as possible occurring soon after. In fact, there is a strong argument for the president to accelerate his schedule. July 2010 was the deadliest month of the nine-year war for U.S. troops. This occurred as it became increasingly clear that: • The United States has no reliable partner in Afghanistan’s dubiously elected and transpar-
ently corrupt government. • If the mission were to deny alQaida this country as a staging base to attack the West, the mission has been substantially accomplished. The organization is now elsewhere. • Though no one should welcome a Taliban return, the solution in Afghanistan will have to be political rather than military. When even Afghan President Hamid Karzai signals that he will negotiate with the Taliban, Obama must realize the writing is on the wall. • Our erstwhile ally, Pakistan, is playing both sides and benefiting handsomely in aid, though its territory is now a safe haven for U.S. and Afghan enemies. The president marks the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq — with about 50,000 service members remaining by Aug. 31 — though that country is far from a
model of democracy and security. He recognized that Iraqis have got to want freedom and security for themselves more than we do. Securing that is their job. The same is true in Afghanistan, the aptly named graveyard of empires. Defense Secretary Robert Gates hinted the other day, however, that the scheduled withdrawal from Afghanistan would be limited. No, it must be real and substantial, in recognition of American weariness with a war this country, with pressing national needs of its own, can ill afford and waged with too little disclosure on what the Obama administration considers victory. Obama’s surge in Afghanistan was sold as necessary to lay the groundwork for withdrawal. The sooner the better.
The Vicksburg Bridge Commission and Madison Parish officials are scheduled to meet to discuss plans to reopen the old Mississippi River Bridge. • The Vicksburg unit of the Mississippi Air National Guard is placed on alert for active duty and may have to report to help in the Persian Gulf Crisis. • The Rev.

Pandering to a rising nativist fervor by suggesting repeal of birthright citizenship, he has aimed his faux indignation at the very babies who can help his country regain its competitive edge. With sinking birthrates and longer life spans, much of the industrialized world grows grayer every day. Throughout Western Europe, demographers worry about a population too old to work and pay the bills. Already, the Japanese, who have never cottoned to “outsiders,” are struggling to care for a citizenry with a significant share of seniors. But, as several economists have noted, the United States has an advantage: We’re still having babies. Some of them, it turns out, are born to women without papers. Rather than changing the law and kicking them out, we ought to be celebrating them with birthday parties. In “The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050,” writer Joel Kotkin forecasts a prosperous nation buoyed by immigration. “In advanced countries,” he writes, “a rapidly aging or decreasing population does not bode

well.” The United States, however, will “maintain a youthful, dynamic demographic,” partly because of “a resourceful stream of ever-assimilating immigrants.” Graham was once among those who could be counted on to be sensible about illegal immigration. In 2007, he supported a path to citizenship, declaring, “We’re not going to run people down. We’re not going to scapegoat people. We’re going to tell the bigots to shut up, and we’re going to get this right.” Last month, however, he took up with the right-wing fringe, which would reverse tradition and rescind long-held principles in order to reject illegal immigrants and their
children. “Birthright citizenship I think is a mistake. ... We should change our Constitution and say, ‘If you come here illegally and you have a child, that child’s automatically not a citizen,’” Graham told Fox News last month. Opponents of birthright citizenship claim that pregnant women penetrate our borders illegally just to “drop a child” — as Graham crudely put it — who will enjoy the rights of U.S. citizens. There’s little evidence for that claim. According to a new study by the Pew Hispanic Center, about 8 percent of the babies born in the U.S. in 2008 — 340,000 out of 4.3 million — had at
least one parent who was here illegally. The study’s authors also disputed the claim that most of those parents were recent arrivals showing up to “drop and leave.” More than 80 percent of mothers had been here more than a year — and more than half five years or more. Many of their children consider themselves full-fledged Americans, with or without documents. They speak English, earn good grades and hope to attend college. They’re like metro Atlanta’s Jessica Colotl, who has attended Kennesaw State University, or Maryland’s Yves Gomes, who hopes to go to the University of Maryland. Both Colotl and Gomes were brought here illegally as children, but they are among the upwardly mobile young folks who underscore one of this country’s virtues — its tradition of assimilation. As Kotkin writes, “In the next decades the fate of western countries may well depend on their ability to make social and economic room for people whose origins lie outside Europe. The United States, Canada, Australia, Britain, Germany and France produce insufficient new children of European descent to pre-
vent them from becoming granny nation-states by 2050.” Those facts are unlikely to stop the angry nativists searching for scapegoats. In a time of continuing layoffs, relentless foreclosures and crippling household debt, Americans tend to become less generous and more resentful of “the other.” Though illegal immigrants didn’t cause the recession or steal jobs, they’re easy to blame. But political leaders have a special responsibility to lower the temperature rather than raise it, to trade in facts rather than stereotypes, to pay attention to the nation’s long-term health rather than their short-term political gain. So I’m disappointed in Graham. Surely, he’s aware of the demographic trends elsewhere. Surely, he understands that the nation needs younger workers to fund his eventual retirement and pay his Medicare bills. •

Lesbian student sues over rejected tux photo JACKSON, Miss. — Another teenage lesbian is suing a rural Mississippi school district, this time over a policy banning young women from wearing tuxedos in senior yearbook portraits. Ceara Sturgis’ dispute Ceara with the cenSturgis tral Mississippi Copiah County School District started in 2009, well before a student in another Mississippi school district, Constance McMillen, found national attention in her fight to wear a tuxedo and take a same-sex date to a prom. On Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit for Sturgis, claiming the Copiah County district discriminated against her on the basis of sex and gender stereotypes. Her photo and name were kept out of her senior yearbook. The suit challenges the district’s policy allowing male students, but not female students, to wear a tux for senior portraits. The suit alleges a violation of Title IX, the federal law prohibiting discrimination based on gender.

3 brothers shot to death in Caddo SPRING RIDGE, La. — A 33-year-old Shreveport man is accused of gunning down three brothers — aged 13 to 20 — whom he accused of stealing a video game system, Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The call from business for less government has a notable exception: the mortgage market. The Obama administration invited banking executives Tuesday to offer advice on changing the government’s role in backing the mortgage market. While they disagreed on the exact level of support needed, the group overwhelmingly advocated for the government to maintain a large role in the $11 trillion market. If the government pulled out, millions of Americans wouldn’t be able to convince

Mazda3, Mazda5 recalled for power steering woes WASHINGTON (AP) — Mazda Motor Corp. is recalling more than 300,000 Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles in North America to fix problems with the power-steering system that could lead to a crash, a problem the automaker addressed in Japan a year ago. The Japanese automaker told the government the recall involved model year 2007-2009 Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles built from April 2007 through November 2008. The recall involves 215,000 vehicles in the United States and an additional 100,000 vehicles in Canada and Mexico. The Mazda recall follows an announcement Tuesday that the 2010 Kia Soul is being
investigated by government regulators for potential loss of steering control. Also Tuesday, General Motors Co. said it is recalling nearly 250,000 crossover vehicles to inspect second-row seat belts that could be damaged and not latch. Mazda said the vehicles could have a sudden loss of power-steering assist, making it difficult for the driver to steer the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. The company said it has not received any reports of crashes or injuries tied to the problem. Automakers are required to inform the government within five days of learning that a safety defect exists.
Dow Jones, other indexes fall, fail to extend day-before rally NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks were mostly lower today as investors found little incentive to extend the previous day’s rally. The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 30 points and all the other major indexes fell. There was little news to motivate investors to continue the rally that sent the Dow up 103 points Tuesday. Target Corp. missed analysts’ forecasts for its second-quarter revenue. Target’s report came a day after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot Inc. helped feed the stock rally with upbeat numbers. So investors were

Bill Gross, the managing director for bond giant Pimco, suggested Fannie and Freddie should be formally merged into the government.

again presented with numbers that appeared contradictory, and that spelled more uncertainty about the economy. This morning’s trading was muted however, and that was to be expected after investors on Tuesday showed their first real enthusiasm for stocks in weeks and sent the Dow up 103 points. The Dow fell 31.33, or 0.3 percent, to 10,374.52. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 1.89, or 0.2 percent, to 1,090.65. The Nasdaq rose 1.56, or 0.1 percent, to 2,211.0.

to them. Is this true? How long does this take? — Reader, via e-mail A: Where I live in Florida, you cannot file probate for three months after someone dies. It is during this time that debtors may come forward to make a claim on the estate. As far as the duties of an executor: You simply carry out the wishes of your mother, paying off any remaining bills, and then distribute what is left according to her written wishes. Attorneys will either charge a flat rate or a percentage of the estate. •

Source: HP CEO’s accuser says her workload was cut SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The woman whose sexual harassment allegations led to the ouster of former HewlettPackard Co. CEO Mark Hurd claimed her work with the company dried up because she rebuffed Hurd’s advances, a person close to the investigation told The Associated Press. The substance of the complaint that led to Hurd’s resignation from the world’s larg-

Hurd denies making advances on Jodie Fisher, who worked as a contractor for HP’s marketing department from 2007 to 2009, according to this person, who requested anonymity. Fisher, 50, is an actress and businesswoman who helped HP organize networking events for customers.

Neihaus
PRECISION FORECAST BY CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BARBIE BASSSETT
Continued from Page A1. computer, which revealed numerous videos and images of child pornography including videos of both Crumpler and Neihaus with preteen children, authorities said. From Warren County’s separate investigation, Neihaus faces multiple life terms if
convicted of the charges for which he was indicted in May by the grand jury. The charges are six counts of sexual battery of a child under the age of 13; two counts of molesting a child under the age of 16; and two counts of child pornography
depicting or recording a child under the age of 18 engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Offenses were said to have occurred between May 2007 and August 2008 and involved the same victim. At his arraignment, a Nov. 15 trial was set, and he is to
appear Friday before Judge Isadore Patrick in Warren County Circuit Court for a hearing related to his case. “Regardless of what the federal court has done, and Neihaus’ sentence, we still anticipate going forward and prosecuting him for the
crimes he was indicted for,” said District Attorney Ricky Smith. Neihaus faces a possible life sentence for each of the sexual battery charges, 40 years for each filming charge and 10 years for each count of molestation.
Beer liams, who has become a cultural icon with his music that centers on drinking and partying, wouldn’t be coming to Jackson without it. “He’s sponsored by a beer company,” Orr said. “One thing is competition and sponsorships. We were the only building of this size in the whole South that we could find that didn’t sell beer. It’ll help. I don’t know how much. Of course, it will all depend on how much beer (concertgoers) drink. It’s already helped get the concert here.”
Though it is not the crux of their argument, economic development groups in Jackson have said the coliseum has outlived its competitiveness because of its age and its lack of alcohol availability. Led by Downtown Jackson Partners, the groups have been pushing for about a year and a half for a new arena downtown. They point to the success Little Rock, Ark., has had with its Alltel Arena, which in the past two years has hosted the Rolling Stones and a regional in the NCAA men’s basketball
tournament, and has played a significant role in that city’s downtown revitalization. Jackson’s arena efforts are still in the planning stages, with nothing settled for financing or location. Ben Allen, executive director of Downtown Jackson Partners, said his organization would be meeting with stakeholders this week in an effort to raise funds to pay for a feasibility study for an arena downtown. The need for a new arena similar to the one Little Rock has is not lessened by the
Fair Commission’s decision to allow beer sales at the coliseum, Allen said. “It has nothing to do with it,” he said. “If we compete with what they can get at the Mississippi Coliseum, we have failed. We’re not trying to be in competition with them. They’re going to keep doing what they’re doing. We’re going for (events) that they simply can’t handle. I’m sure there will be some spillover, but (the idea of building a new arena) has always been independent of the coliseum.”

Jury deadlocks on all but one charge against Blagojevich CHICAGO — Rod Blagojevich’s bravado was back. After waiting quietly for a jury to deliver its verdict, the disgraced former governor returned to his defiant claims about being the victim of runaway prosecutors. Rod Blagojevich “They threw everything they could at me — 24 charges that I’ve said from the beginning are false — and the jury agreed that the government did not prove its case,� Blagojevich boasted Tuesday after the federal jury deadlocked on all but one of the allegations. Jurors convicted Blagojevich on only a single, less serious count of lying to federal
nation
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS agents. But, for all his confidence, it turns out that only a lone juror stood between Blagojevich and a conviction on the most explosive allegation of all — that he tried to sell an appointment to President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat. Prosecutors pledged to retry him as soon as possible. Juror Erik Sarnello of Itasca, Ill., said the panel was deadlocked 11-1 in favor of convicting Blagojevich of trying to auction off the Senate seat. He said one woman on the panel “just didn’t see what we all saw.� The 21-year-old Sarnello said the counts involving the Senate seat were “the most obvious.� Other jurors tried to per-
suade the holdout to reconsider, but “at a certain point, there was no changing,� he said. The count on which Blagojevich was convicted included accusations that he lied to federal agents when he said he did not track campaign contributions. But the jury did not convict him on a related allegation that he kept a “firewall� between political campaigns and government work. It carries a sentence of up to five years in prison. Some of the more serious charges, such as racketeering, carried up to a 20-year penalty.
Mourners pay respects to Stevens in Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Scores of Alaskans personally said goodbye to former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens Tues-
day, eight days after he was killed in a plane crash. A steady stream of mourners filed past a Ted closed casket Stevens as Stevens’ body lay in repose at All Saints Episcopal Church in Anchorage. The daylong procession will be followed by a funeral today at the Anchorage Baptist Temple. “He was a great politician and a great man. He’s going to be so missed,� a tearyeyed Jacqueline Wariner said as she left the Episco-
pal church. She was among the many there who lived in Alaska all 40 years the man known as “Uncle Ted� spent in office. Stevens, 86, died along with four others when their plane crashed in southwest Alaska last week en route from a corporate-owned lodge to a fishing camp. Four people, including ex-NASA chief Sean O’Keefe and his son Kevin, survived. Three days of remembrances for Stevens — the Senate’s longest serving Republican — began Monday when several hundred people attended a Catholic Mass at Holy Family Cathedral in Anchorage.
Poll: N.Y. voters against ground zero mosque ALBANY, N.Y. — A majority of New Yorkers remain opposed to a mosque proposed as part of a planned Islamic cultural center near ground zero and the issue will be a factor for many voters this fall, according to a statewide poll released today. The Siena College poll showed 63 percent of New York voters surveyed oppose the project, with 27 percent supporting it. That compares with 64 percent opposed and 28 percent in favor two weeks earlier, results that are within the polls’ sampling margins.

Research: Teen sex has little effect on academics

LOS ANGELES — There’s good news for parents who worry that their teenagers’ sex lives are affecting their school performance: A provocative new study has found that teens in committed relationships do no better or worse in school than those who don’t have sex. The same isn’t true for teens who “hook up.” Researchers found that those who have casual flings get lower grades and have more school-related problems compared with those who abstain. The findings, presented at a meeting of the American Sociological Association in Atlanta, challenge to some extent assumptions that sexually active teens tend to do poorer in school. It’s not so much whether a teen has sex that determines academic success, the researchers say, but the type of sexual relationship they’re engaged in. Teens in serious relationships might find social and emotional support in their sex partners, reducing their anxiety and stress levels in life and in school. “This should give some comfort to parents who may be concerned that their teenage son or daughter is dating,” said sociologist Peggy Giordano of Bowling Green State University, who had no role in the research. Teen sex is “not going to derail their educational trajectories,” she said. Last year, nearly half of high school students reported having sexual intercourse, and 14 percent have had four or more partners, according to a federal survey released this summer. For the study, University of California, Davis sociologist Bill McCarthy and University of Minnesota sociologist Eric Grodsky analyzed surveys and school transcripts from the largest national follow-up study of teens that began during the 1994-95 academic year. The researchers said not much has changed in terms of when teens first See Teen, Page B3.
Social media challenge to family privacy By The Associated Press If she could turn back time, Sherry Petersik would have done things differently on Facebook. The 28-year-old new mom, who writes a home decor blog called Young House Love, wanted only friends and family to access her profile on the 6-year-old social networking site. But one blog reader sought permission, followed by others, and at the risk of alienating them, Petersik and husband John lost their privacy. Keeping family life private at a time when 500 million people are on Facebook is a challenge made tougher for young early adopters used to See Parenting, Page B3.

Parenting Continued from Page B1. living life online but now also juggling the responsibilities of marriage and children. Petersik, who lives in Richmond, Va., wanted only family to know when she was pregnant, and when daughter Clara was born in May. Their joy was tempered by concern that someone in their real-life circle would inadvertently spill the news on Facebook. Losing privacy “has completely changed the way I use Facebook,” Petersik said. “We now feel like we can’t share a lot of personal things because we feel like we don’t want the world at-large to read them.” She said they used to share travel plans or personal details because “these were our friends and family, they’re not going to rob us or have an agenda,” but now the couple is hyper-aware of keeping those details offline. Yakini Etheridge, a 31-yearold clinical psychologist in New York City, has whittled down what she reveals on her profile as more readers of her parenting blog, Prissy Mommy, find her on Facebook. She said that at the time she joined Facebook, she didn’t realize she could be selective about how much personal information to share. “As I learned about it, I was like ‘Oh, I don’t have to have people see my schools? OK, then they don’t need to,”’ she said. Etheridge and husband Derek have a toddler named Chase and a new baby. On top of parenting, they’re dealing with her blog, where she posts personal photos and anecdotes, and baby product reviews. Etheridge didn’t realize Derek, a lawyer, was

there could be dangers online, but said she tries to thwart unwanted interest by leaving out revealing photos, such as ones of him in a diaper or in the bathtub. “Obviously, there’s a lot of pedophiles out there,” she said. “If they want to get off on Chase, they can do so with his (swim) trunk pictures or his fully clothed pictures.” As with any proud parent, Petersik takes hundreds of photos of Clara but says that because of her blog and Facebook, she works extra hard to be mindful of her daughter’s privacy. “I think there’s like 10 or 15 percent more of an effort because of this layer on top,” Petersik said. It may be extra work, but for Etheridge, Birnel and Hinkle, who all started their online journals to keep family in the loop but found a broader audience, it’s their personal lives that keeps readers coming back. “I definitely think that the more candid and honest you are as a blogger, the more people connect with you,” Etheridge said. “I do find that I get more comments on a post that I wrote from a heartfelt place.” For the Petersiks, who have let thousands of blog readers into their home, their bedroom, and even their bathroom, they still value their privacy. “We feel like something has to be sacred. If you share everything with everyone, what is there left?” Sherry Petersik said. “If strangers knew about every aspect of our life than our friends and family, then there’s something depressing about that.”
sensitive about photos until she posted what she thought was a cute family moment: Derek in an undershirt and boxers, reading to Chase on the couch. “He called me from work and said, ‘I can’t believe you put a picture of me with my underwear online!”’ Etheridge recalled. “I was like, ‘You’re just wearing shorts and a shirt.’ And he’s like, ‘Those aren’t shorts, those are my boxers.”’ She said she didn’t immediately realize that the intimate family moment was available, for example, to one of Derek’s clients. She deleted the photo. Judy Aldridge, 47, and her 18-year-old daughter are heavy social-media users:
Aldridge for her Atlantis Home blog and online accessories shop and Jane for her popular Sea of Shoes fashion blog. “I think if you look at our blogs, it seems like we share a lot. But there’s so much stuff that’s off-limits,” said Aldridge, who adds that she always looks over Jane’s posts before they’re published. For the suburban Dallas family, relationships, their home address, day-to-day activities and their whereabouts are never mentioned on the blogs. And taking photos of some friends and family now comes with more care. “Sometimes we’ll be doing something and snapping a
photo, and they’ll say, ‘I don’t want to see myself on your blog. No way,”’ Aldridge said. Sara Hinkle, a 24-year-old new mother and freelance illustrator in Bloomington, Ind., said the seemingly simple act of taking pictures with friends and talking about her day now goes through self-editing. “If they don’t know about the blog, I don’t ever put their names in it,” she said. But for Brittany Birnel, a 30-year-old mom of three in the Denver suburbs, personal blogs are so common in her social circle that she’s not concerned when she shares photos of friends or their children. All of them have their own blogs and post photos and
other personal information there so the permission is assumed, she said. Birnel, who writes the parenting blog Tangled and True, posts photos of her two daughters, Lily and Stella, and son Finn. She said she recognized the risk of using their real names online, but skirting around identifying her children was a futile attempt at deterring anyone determined to get that information. “In all honesty, if someone wants to find your kid and take your kid, they can find your kid and take your kid,” she said. Etheridge, who recently posted photos on her blog of her son on vacation in Jamaica, acknowledged
expectations. They were also not more likely to have problems in school, be suspended or absent. • Compared with virgins, teens who have casual sex had lower GPAs, cared less about school and experienced more problems in school. For example, female teens who have flings had GPAs that were 0.16 points lower than abstinent teens. Male teens who have casual sex had
GPAs that were 0.30 points lower than those who do not have sex. Teens who hook up also were at greater risk of being suspended or expelled and had lower odds of expecting to go to college. • Teens who have sex — whether it’s a serious or casual relationship — were at higher risk of being truant and dropping out compared with teens who don’t have sex. The researchers said
the dropout results should be interpreted with caution because the numbers were small. “Having sex outside of a romantic relationship may exacerbate the stress youths experience, contributing to problems in school,” Grodsky said. In a statement, the Family Research Council said the study confirms what the group has long advocated
about the negative consequences of casual sex. But the council said it “would not interpret less severe educational impacts on students involved in ‘committed’ sexual relationships as a green light for comprehensive” sex education. University of Southern California sociologist Julie Albright disagreed. She said it might be time to revamp sex education to “emphasize
the importance of relationships and spell out the consequences of casual sex.” The study dispels the notion that all teen sex is bad, said Marie Harvey, professor of public health at Oregon State University. “The type of relationship really matters. When it comes to sexual behavior, it takes two to tango,” said Harvey, adding that safe sex should be practiced.

Grilled Steak with Pea Hummus

Steak with pea hummus — so happy together By J.M. Hirsch AP food editor Steak and peas go so nicely together, but who wants to chase peas around their plate with a fork? I decided to tinker a bit and see if I could find a better way to marry these fine summer foods. The result was this grill-friendly open-face sandwich that seasons sirloin with a peppery garlic-lime marinade, then serves it over toasted sourdough slathered with a mildly spicy hummus made from peas. The combination is fresh and jammed with flavor. If peas aren’t your thing, you could substitute guacamole for the hummus, or even a more traditional chickpea hummus (purchased or otherwise). While the pea hummus is best prepared just before serving, the steak can be marinated for about 8 hours.
Grilled chicken Caesar can make healthy salad By Jim Romanoff The Associated Press If your idea of a virtuous dinner out is ordering the grilled chicken Caesar salad, you should prepare yourself for some disappointment. These salads may sound light, but they can pack some serious fat and calories. At one national chain restaurant, for example, the grilled chicken Caesar salad serves up more than 1,000 calories and 64 grams of fat. These salads sound healthy because the basic components are — greens and boneless, skinless chicken breast. It’s when you dump on buttery croutons, shredded cheese, fatty dressings and crumbled bacon that the trouble starts. But at home you can make a dinner-sized salad to feel good about. This grilled chicken salad is tossed with a lowfat dressing made with the richly flavored pulp of roasted garlic (an excellent stand-in for fat). For this dressing, which can be made up to two days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator, the roasted garlic is pureéd with creamy
Grilled Steak with Pea Hummus Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 For the steak: 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 tablespoons lime juice 1/4 cup olive oil 4 cloves garlic Pinch red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 1/4 pounds tri-tip or sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices For the pea hummus: 8-ounce bag fresh or frozen

garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and peppercorns. Blend until mostly smooth, then pour into a medium stainless steel or other non-reactive bowl. Add the steak, turn to coat evenly, then refrigerate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the pea hummus. Fill a medium bowl with ice and cold water. In a small saucepan, bring about 1/2 inch of water to a boil. Add the peas and

When the peas are cooled, drain again and transfer to a food processor. Add the garlic, lime juice and Peppadews. Pulse until chunky smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat a grill to high. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter over each slice of bread, then grill briefly to
toast. Set aside. Grill the steak for 2 to 3 minutes, or until desired doneness. To serve, slather pea hummus over each slice of bread, then top with steak.

Rachael Ray iPhone app offers personal help at the supermarket By The Associated Press Now you can get things “Yum-o” to go. Rachael Ray, best-selling cookbook author and TV personality, has a new iPhone application, “Tasty Bytes,” that combines recipes and cooking tips with a shopping tool aimed at getting you down the aisles faster. The app, launched Monday,
includes 200 recipes and a shopping function that tallies ingredients and amounts from selected recipes into one Rachael list. Ray In an e-mail, Ray said she decided to develop the app for conven-
ience, her own as well as others. “When I head to the grocery store, I know what meals I want to make for the week and I buy ingredients based on those recipes. Sometimes I bring my own cookbook to the market and feel silly carrying a book around with my head on it,” she said. “I figured why not create a recipe database that was portable
and mobile, so I could provide busy cooks, including myself, with a simple way to search through tons of recipes and be able to shop for ingredients in the fastest way possible.” Ray isn’t the only cooking celebrity with an appetite for the digital life. She joins a food phone force that includes Martha Stewart, Tyler Florence and Jamie Oliver.
The new Ray iPhone app isn’t her only dip into the digital world. She also plans to post regularly on Twitter as (at) rachael—ray. “Pretty creative, huh?” she joked. Tasty Bytes recipes and shopping lists can be e-mailed to users for backup. The recipe database, which includes 30 recipes exclusive to the app, is searchable by
meal type, holidays, cooking style and ingredients. You also can work backward, choosing ingredients, meal types and cooking styles to find a recipe that fits what you’re in the mood to eat. The app, developed by Threshold Interactive in Culver City, Calif., costs $1.99.
20 Burgers of summer
For Tyler Florence’s sandwich, it’s all about the cut of meat Part of an AP series featuring burgers created by the biggest names in the food world • By J.M. Hirsch AP food editor
When Tyler Florence was creating hamburgers for his new restaurant, his goal was simple — a burger that stays moist no matter how well-done it is cooked. The solution was all a matter of numbers — one month of experimenting with the percentage of fat and the number of cuts of meat. “Most people do an 80-20 lean-to-fat ratio,” said Florence, whose Wayfare Tavern opened recently in San Francisco. “We go 75-to-25 ratio, so it’s a little fattier. So even if you like it well done, it’s still nice and moist.” For the cuts of meat, Florence settled on four of them — prime rib, brisket, skirt steak and filet. And after they are ground (at another facility), it’s mostly a hands-off procedure. “When it comes in, no one is really allowed to touch it except to take it out of the package and weigh it out,” said Florence, host of Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race.” “It gets touched once before it goes on the grill. It loses that fluffiness once you work it too much. It starts to become chewy really quickly.” Florence was equally exacting when it came to toppings. “You can’t just put stuff on top of the burger for the sake of it,” he said. “To me, it’s got to be very purposeful stuff. You have to really think it through so it’s a complimentary flavor and not a distraction from the burger.” For the AP’s 20 Burgers of Summer series, Florence

Tyler Florence’s Wayfare Tavern Burger with homemade buns and lemon aioli opted for an intensely savory and creamy combination of oven-roasted red onions, lemon aioli and brie.
Wayfare Tavern Burger Buns Start to finish: 2 1/2 hours (20 minutes active) Makes 8 buns 1 cup warm water 1/4 cup warm whole milk 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar 2 eggs 3 cups bread flour 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces In a medium bowl, combine the water, milk, yeast and sugar until well blended. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, lightly beat one of the eggs. In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, all-
purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the butter, beaten egg, and yeast mixture, mixing with a pastry scraper or clean hands until a sticky dough forms. Knead this mixture on a clean, well-floured surface for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a clean towel and let stand for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size. Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let stand for another hour, or until the rolls have risen slightly. When ready to bake, place a large shallow pan of water on the floor of the oven and heat the oven to 400. In a small bowl, lightly beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the mixture over the top of
each roll. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Transfer the rolls to a rack and let cool completely.
Wayfare Tavern Lemon Aioli Start to finish: 5 minutes Makes 1 cup 1 egg yolk Juice of 1/2 lemon 2/3 cup grapeseed oil Salt and ground black pepper
Pepper-Crusted Chicken Salad with Roasted Garlic Caesar Dressing Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes (35 minutes active) Servings: 4 For the dressing: 1 large head garlic 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 anchovy fillets, rinsed Salt and ground black pepper, to taste For the salad: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of fat 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
gas grill to medium-high or light a charcoal fire. Rub the chicken with oil and season with salt. Coat the outsides heavily with pepper. Grill the chicken until browned and a thermometer reads 165 at the center. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and croutons. Toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing, then divide among 4 plates. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch slices and arrange over the salad. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.

Caesar nonfat yogurt and just a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. The dressing gets an added burst of flavor from a small amount of Parmesan cheese as well as a few anchovy fillets, which are traditional Caesar ingredients. And don’t fear the anchovies. They add an irreplaceable flavor and texture to the dressing without adding any noticeable fishiness.
In a food processor, combine the yolk and lemon juice. Pulse until just combined. With the processor running, gradually pour in the grapeseed oil. Process until the mixture is creamy and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and chill until ready to serve.
1 cup lemon aioli 1/2 pound brie (Florence favors Cowgirl Creamery Triple Cream Brie), cut into thin slices In a large bowl, mix the prime rib, brisket, skirt steak and filet together until wellblended, but not overworked. Divide the meat into 8 portions and shape into patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared pan. Roast the onion slices for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Set aside. Heat the grill on high. Grill the burgers to desired doneness, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Top the bottom half of each roll with a burger, some of the red onions, aioli and brie.

Adult daughter’s bedroom antics displease mother Dear Abby: My adult daughter, “Suzie,” spent the weekend at our home, bringing along her boyfriend of six months. This was “Liam’s” first visit. I allowed them to share Suzie’s old bedroom, which we have converted into a family office. We keep a large futon in there for my daughter when she comes to visit. I didn’t make a big deal out of where Liam and Suzie should sleep because I didn’t want to embarrass them, and I was sure there would be no “hanky-panky” because our bedroom is right across the hall. Well, I was wrong. In the middle of the night I was awakened by Suzie’s squeals and moans. Fortunately, my husband is a sound sleeper. The next morning, while my husband was out on his daily run, I let the kids have it — to the point of slapping Liam around a little. I told Suzie her actions were disrespectful and I was highly disappointed in her. Suzie and I are no longer

speaking, and I am miserable. Do you think I overreacted? Did I silently give permission for such behavior by allowing them to share the same futon? And did Liam really think it would be OK to have sex in my home? — Miserable Mom in Wisconsin Dear Miserable Mom: I will respond to your questions in reverse order. The answers are yes, yes and yes. And all of you owe each other an apology. Dear Abby: “Dave” is 49, well-educated, gainfully employed and still lives with his parents. He has never been married and has no children.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE
BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Once you start criticizing others, you can expect to be attacked regarding your less charming facets. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When being generous, you become more and more attractive by the minute. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You might find yourself wanting to manipulate others into doing your bidding, but don’t do it. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Wipe the slate clean instead of allowing an old grievance bias your thinking about a fellow associate. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you expect others to do more for you than you’ve been willing to do for them in the past, you’re in for a big surprise. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There may be some justification for your feelings of being lucky, but don’t push it too far. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The dismal perceptions of negative individuals are likely to discourage you from doing what you can and should do, if you let them. Instead adopt a positive demeanor to offset the cynics. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Surface indicators might appear to be promising, but distorted undercurrents could cause you to fail, if you’re not careful. If you’re taking on anything important, proceed cautiously. Aries (March 21-April 19) — What starts out as a friendly discussion could quickly turn into a heated debate, if religion or politics are brought up. It’s a waste of time to argue such topics, because nobody will win. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — When sharing a work assignment with a colleague, be careful that you don’t grab most of the easy tasks for yourself and leave all the ugly jobs to your associate. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Just because a flashy friend of yours is a glib talker, it doesn’t mean s/he is wise about worldly things. Enjoy your pal’s fun personality, but don’t follow your chum’s thinking on serious matters. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Although you might find it problematic to honor your promises, make every effort to do so anyway, especially if others are depending on you.
TWEEN 12 & 20
BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Dr. Wallace: I was disappointed that you didn’t provide more information about crack cocaine in your answer to the girl in Cleveland whose boyfriend was starting to use cocaine. She wanted to know if he could use it and not become addicted. This was a great time to tell her and your young readers about crack cocaine and its potency. Crack is more readily available and cheaper than powder cocaine. It is much more addictive and potentially deadly. A person can be addicted after only a few uses. Also, a person can die immediately upon using crack. I would be afraid that a young person reading your column would assume he or she could try cocaine or crack once or twice and not suffer any ill effects. I am afraid that’s not so. You said that addiction is when a user feels uncomfortable or unhappy without it. In the case of crack cocaine, users are more than uncomfortable. They are desperate — desperate enough to rob, steal from family members, and commit violent acts against family members and strangers to get money and items to trade for more crack. They have even committed murders to get the crack they crave. Addicts say it’s an insatiable craving. You also minimized withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the drug, withdrawal symptoms can seem worse than death. I have seen many people go through withdrawal. Someone suffering from withdrawal is much more than distressed. The physical pain can be unbearable. They also may experience hallucinations, nausea/vomiting/dry heaves, cramping muscles, violent outbursts and a severe craving for the drug. This is not to say that every time someone uses a drug, this is going to happen. But if they try it thinking they’ll just use it casually, they might get addicted, and these and other symptoms will definitely occur. — Christine, Drug Abuse Resistance Program Ft. Walton Beach, Florida Police Department. Christine: Thanks for the useful information. The DARE program is an effective tool in getting teens to understand the dangers of abusing drugs. Besides encouraging teens to stop using drugs, DARE does a splendid job educating young adults to avoid drug experimentation. In the column on cocaine addiction, I said that if cocaine is used three or four times a year, there is a chance that the user would not become an addict, but if it is used three or four times a week, the user will become addicted. I received this information from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Your information shows that crack cocaine is much more potent, dangerous and addictive than powder cocaine. This is extremely important for all who are tempted to try crack cocaine. • Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service. E-mail him at rwallace@Copley News Service.
woman. When I asked him why he has never lived on his own, he told me he feels comfortable living with his parents. Dave and I have enjoyed a strictly platonic relationship for nearly a year. He recently told me he’s in love with me and wants us to be exclusive, with marriage as the ultimate outcome. I have been divorced for 20 years. My children are independent, thriving adults. Marrying again is not a priority in my life. Dave is kind, sensitive and thoughtful. I care for him deeply, yet I am skeptical about becoming seriously involved with a man who seems to be “hiding” something. Am I being overly critical, or is there something wrong with this picture? — Jaded in Jersey Dear Jaded: The situation you have described is unusual, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate that Dave is “hiding” anything. He could be a simple man who enjoys the living arrangement he has with his
folks — and the lowest sex drive in New Jersey. Before making any hard and fast decisions, you and Dave need to have some frank, serious and ongoing conversations. You also need to determine how his parents will feel about “losing” their son after 49 years of togetherness. Dear Abby: I have three daughters who seem to be incapable of functioning as adults. None of them is employed or in school. My oldest is a single parent of two kids she doesn’t want. I love my grandkids and I know I should take them, but I raised my daughters and feel I’m too old to be Dad to toddlers again. Am I being selfish? — Dad of Three Daughters in Nebraska Dear Dad: No, you are being realistic.

Benadryl, games could help carsick toddler’s tough ride Dear Dr. Gott: My 2-year-old grandson gets carsick terribly. His parents do not feed him immediately prior to any trips, but he still throws up. Is there something they could give him prior to traveling? Dear Reader: Motion sickness is rather common and can affect people of any age. It stems from a sensitivity of the inner ear. Unfortunately, it’s more traumatic when it happens to a youngster. Symptoms can include stomach upset, loss of appetite, cold sweats and vomiting. I hear about queasy feelings more frequently from people who sit in the back seat of the car and from people who read or otherwise engage in visual and mental stimulation in an effort to pass the time. This certainly is not the case with a 2-year-old, however. A child of that age is prohibited by law from riding in the front seat for safety reasons. So let’s consider options: Have him look out the window at passing cars, signs and people. Play a game of spotting a green car, a red wagon or a person with black hair. He might eat an hour or two before getting into the car. Bring along a water bottle so he can remain hydrated. Sing songs or listen to the radio. If he can doze off, by all means let him do so. Split the trip up into two or three segments, allowing him to get out and walk around to break the routine. In other words, focus his attention elsewhere and attempt to trick his inner ears. You may also wish to try ginger capsules, Dramamine or Benadryl. Dear Dr. Gott: I have had gas pains under my rib cage for the past year. The pain leads to sediment-type diarrhea within 15 minutes of eating anything, occurring at least three times before it stops. I’ve been unemployed and without health insurance for three years, so I am unable to see a doctor about this. I have determined I am allergic to wheat. I take no medicines other than over-the-counter naproxen for knee arthritis. Can you figure this out? Dear Reader: Gas pains can occur for a number of reasons. Perhaps you have acid reflux, indigestion, hiatal hernia, gallbladder disease, peptic ulcer, are lactose intolerant or have an undiagnosed abnormality of the digestive tract. You also don’t appear to be digesting your food properly, as evidenced by the diarrhea. Naproxen and other OTC NSAIDs can also lead to nausea, gas and diarrhea. If you are unemployed and without insurance, apply for state aid. This will remove an enormous burden from your shoulders. Then make an appointment with a physician for an examination and possible lab work and X-rays so you can determine the exact cause of your pain. If necessary, request a referral

ASK THE DOCTOR Dr. PETER
GOTT
to a gastroenterologist. I know this sounds extremely daunting, but you shouldn’t have to continue with the symptoms you are having and the distressing diarrhea that follows. Once appropriate testing is accomplished and a diagnosis can be made, proper treatment can begin. Until then, it’s anyone’s guess.

Rock Hall honors Domino, Bartholomew The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will honor Antoine “Fats” Domino and Dave Bartholomew this fall for their roles in the birth of rock ’n’ roll. “Walking to New Orleans: The Music of Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew,” is scheduled for Nov. 8-13 and includes a daylong conference at Case Western Reserve University and a tribute concert at the Palace Theater in Cleveland featuring Bartholomew, Dr. John, Irma Thomas and the Rebirth Brass Band. Their first collaboration, “The Fat Man,” in 1949 is widely considered the first true rock ’n’ roll record. Dr. Lauren Onkey, the museum’s vice president of education and public programs, said the pair’s collaboration brought together different traditions and sounds in an exciting way. She says their story is one that not enough people know.
Galifianakis’ kids’ reading draws adults A reading at a North Carolina library was intended for young people, but the person behind the book attracted plenty of adults as well. That’s because the reader Tuesday was Zach Galifianakis, a comedian, movie star and Wilkes County, N.C., native. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Galifianakis was at the Wilkes County Public Library for a children’s reading that drew hundreds. Zach Galifianakis joked that he would read from his Galifianakis movie, “The Hangover,” but then read three children’s books, one of which his father wrote.
Nugent says no contest to deer baiting Rocker and celebrity hunter Ted Nugent will have to pay a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest in California to baiting a deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag. California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy said game wardens saw Nugent kill an immature buck on a February episode of his Outdoor Channel TV show “Spirit of the Wild.” Investigators found that the deer had been eating bait called “C’mere Deer.” Baiting wildlife is illegal in California. Nugent originally faced 11 charges, including killing a deer too young to be hunted. In a deal with Yuba County prosecutors, Nugent’s attorney on Friday entered no contest pleas to the two misdemeanors. Nugent did not appear in court.
Suit over Nirvana catalog sale settled Court records show a management firm and Courtney Love have settled a $1 million lawsuit over the profits of the sale of Nirvana’s publishing catalog. Love is the widow of former Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. London & Co. sued Love two years ago, claiming she failed to share the earnings of a deal in which she sold a portion of Nirvana’s catalog for nearly $20 million. Courtney Love Court records show attorneys for London & Co. and Love told a judge last Wednesday that they had settled and the case was dismissed. The Hole frontwoman has controlled many of the rights to Cobain and Nirvana’s work since his suicide in Seattle in 1994.

Comedy Central series ‘Tosh.0’ scores big with TV, Net fusion By Lynn Elber AP television writer LOS ANGELES — In takeno-enemies style, “Tosh.0” mocks viral video lunacy. The Comedy Central series also gives the Internet’s victims a shot at redemption or, for more fun, additional public humiliation. That host Daniel Tosh manages this with the perverse charm of an impish hit man has resulted in a ratings success and raised the standup’s dimpled profile in a big way. Armed with a third-season renewal next year for “Tosh.0,” he will be heading off this fall on a national tour that, according to Comedy Central, has seen ticket sales that rival peak Dave Chappelle levels. In October, the channel will air a one-hour special that Tosh filmed in San Francisco in June. “People just really like him and like his comedy,” said Charlie Siskel, “Tosh.0” executive producer. “He has that ability to say the most awful things and has this winning way that you forgive him. He’s like the kid next door that everyone gives a pass to.” “Tosh.0” (9:30 p.m. Wednesday, repeating through the week) has seen its secondseason audience more than double that of last year, at times topping 2.5 million weekly viewers and trumping the numbers for Comedy Central colleagues Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Despite all the affection and opportunity, Tosh claims he left his longtime home, Florida, and headed west for the waves, not the work. “I grew up surfing and I just always wanted to live in California on the beach. I’m one of the few people who moved to Los Angeles because I loved the idea of living in L.A.,” Tosh
Spike Lee screens Katrina film in Orleans NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Spike Lee screened portions of his follow-up documentary about Hurricane Katrina in front of a big crowd at Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans. The preSpike Lee miere Tuesday included hours one and four of the HBO documentary, “If God Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise.” It will be shown Monday and Tuesday. Among those attending were Mayor Mitch Landrieu and New Orleans Hornets star guard Chris Paul. Lee also produced “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts,” after Katrina struck in August 2005. In the new movie, Lee returns five years later to see how plans to rebuild New Orleans have played out. It also touches on the Saints’ Super Bowl victory and details the impact of the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill on people who have yet to fully recover from the hurricane.

Daniel Tosh of the comedy show “Tosh.0”
On TV “Tosh.0” is on Comedy Central at 9 p.m. Wednesdays. said, without a hint of irony. “I like the people. I’ve never bought into that, ‘Oh, everybody’s so fake.’ I don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said. (In contrast, Tosh describes his native state as “hot, flat and a little dumb.”) He’s been riding more than the surf, nurtured by Comedy Central through a series of projects. He was host of “Live at Gotham,” performed on “Premium Blend” and “Friday Night Stand-Up,” was part of “Comedy Central Presents”
and saw his first special, “Completely Serious,” in 2007. Tosh’s 2005 CD, “True Stories I Made Up,” was on Comedy Central Records. When the channel approached him about a series with an online tie-in, he mulled it over. He was a reluctant consumer of supposedly funny videos forwarded by family members, which he says “couldn’t be further from my sensibility when it comes to comedy.” But he warmed to the idea of “interacting with people from the Internet,” he said, because it’s “ridiculous that these people became famous for a tiny little thing that was captured on camera, and they can’t live it down.”
Dr. Laura plans to end radio show at end of year LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the talk show host who recently apologized for saying the N-word 11 times to a caller on the air, said Tuesday she plans to give up her radio show when her contract is up at the end of this year. The conservative advice maven made the announcement on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” saying she wants to “regain her Dr. Laura First Amend- Schlessinger ment rights.” Schlessinger said she’s not retiring or quitting. Instead, she said, she feels stronger and freer to say what she believes needs to be said. “I want to be able to say what’s on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry — some special interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates and sponsors,” she said. Schlessinger apologized last week for saying the N-word several times in an on-air conversation with a caller whom she accused of being hypersensitive to racism. She said on her website that she was wrong in using the word for what she said was an attempt to make a philosophical point. During the exchange, Schlessinger said the caller, who said she was black and married to a white man, was too sensitive for complaining that her husband’s friends made racist comments about her in their home. Schlessinger told King she “never called anybody a bad word.”

ALS, head injuries could be connected
BOSTON (AP) — Scientists funded in part by the NFL say they have found evidence connecting head injuries in athletes to a condition that mimics Lou Gehrig’s disease. Dr. Ann McKee said she found toxic proteins in the spinal cords of three athletes who had suffered head injuries and were later diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, or ALS. Those same proteins have been found in the brains of athletes with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disease linked to head injuries that causes cognitive decline, abnormal behavior and dementia. The findings, announced Tuesday, are to be published in September’s issue of the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology. McKee is a neurology professor at Boston University who has studied CTE in athletes.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre’s latest summer of indecision finally appears to be over. Favre arrived in Minnesota on Tuesday and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him in a Vikings helmet and red quarterback’s jersey when the team takes the field for practice today. In a scene nearly identical to his signing with Minnesota a year ago, Favre took a private plane from Mississippi on the Tuesday following the Vikings’ first preseason game, was followed by news helicopters from a suburban airport to the team headquarters and was greeted by dozens of fans and media members upon his arrival. “Helicopters acting like they are following O.J.,” tight end Visanthe Shiancoe tweeted. “Where is the bronco.” The big difference? His signing with the Vikings — Green Bay’s bitter NFC North rival — was a stunner to most observers who watched Favre torment Minnesota for so long as a member of the Packers. This time around, virtually everyone expected the quarterback who spends every summer on the verge of retirement to return for a 20th NFL season. Favre’s latest dalliance centered on an ankle that was injured in the NFC championship game loss to New Orleans in January. Favre

Brett Favre gets into a vehicle driven by Minnesota Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell at an airport Tuesday in Eden Prairie, Minn. The 40-year-old quarterback returned to Minnesota, arriving in a private jet trimmed in the Vikings’ purple and gold with three teammates who were sent to Hattiesburg to bring him back. At left, Vikings fans wearing Favre’s jersey wait outside the team’s practice facility in an effort to catch a glimpse of Favre. Favre and the team planned to speak to the media later today.

Minor sparkles in Braves’ victory By The Associated Press ATLANTA — Mike Minor had already dressed and turned to talk with the media when his new teammates saluted his first big league win. How ’bout a beer shower, rookie? If Minor and the Braves keep this up, it won’t be the last time they’re doused. Little-used Diory Hernandez sparked Atlanta with a pinch-hit homer, All-Star Martin Prado returned from the disabled list with three hits and Minor claimed his first big league win, 10-2 over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. Minor was rewarded with four cans of beers poured on his head, delivered by Derek Lowe, Brooks Conrad, David Ross and Billy Wagner. “That’s OK,” Minor said. “Hopefully there will be more of these to come. Hopefully I can get some other guys down the road.” Atlanta maintained its 2 1/2-

Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Minor delivers against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Minor, who played for the Mississippi Braves earlier this season, earned his first major league victory in Atlanta’s 10-2 win.
mlb game lead in the NL East on Philadelphia, which defeated San Francisco 9-3. Coming off their majorsbest 20th victory on the final swing, the Braves didn’t need any dramatics in the opener of a series against the lowly Nationals. Still, in keeping with the theme of a surprising season, some unlikely players contributed to Atlanta’s sixth win in seven games. Like Hernandez, who had batted only twice since coming up from the minors
on Aug. 2. With the Braves trailing 2-0, he led off the sixth batting for Minor and came through with his second career homer. Like Matt Diaz, who had a two-run double that put the Braves ahead for good while making a rare appearance in the cleanup spot. Like Minor, the Braves’ first-round pick last year but only pitching in the majors this soon because Kris Medlen went down with a season-ending injury. “It’s been a year like that,” Diaz said. “It’s a different
guy every night. It’s got that feel” like something special is happening. Even with the Braves contending for their first playoff appearance since 2005, just 16,911 turned out at Turner Field. Minor pitched well in his second career start but was trailing when he left, having surrendered two runs to the Nationals in the sixth to ruin a scoreless duel. “I was really upset,” he said. “I felt like I pitched OK, but those two runs killed me.”
CINCINNATI — Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy on Tuesday settled a defamation lawsuit with a cab driver and a valet stemming from a dispute over a ride. Details of the settlement were kept confidential as attorneys told Judge Melba Marsh in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court that they had reached an agreement. The cab driver told police in 2008 that Kennedy punched him and used racial slurs after he refused to carry all five members of Kennedy’s staff in his taxi because it had only four seats for passengers. Andy He apoloKennedy gized to Kennedy on Tuesday. “I would like to apologize to Mr. Kennedy and the court for any role I may have played in this unfortunate incident,” driver Mohamed Jiddou said in court. “I am now ready to move forward with my life, and I hope that my apology will let Mr. Kennedy move forward with his.” The valet, Michael Strother, who witnessed the altercation, did not issue an apology but accepted Kennedy’s apology from 2009. “All matters between me and coach Kennedy have been resolved,” Strother said after court. Strother’s attorney, Philip Taliaferro, said he was very satisfied with the settlement. Kennedy accepted Jiddou’s apology but had not sought one from Strother. Kennedy had apologized in court to Jiddou and Strother in April 2009. He had denied punching and taunting Jiddou in 2008 after his arrest on an assault charge in the altercation but pleaded guilty in April 2009 to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and issued the apologies at that time. Kennedy and his attorney, William Posey, would only say that Kennedy had sought an apology. “He came for his (Jiddou’s) apology, and he got his apology,” Posey said. Kennedy had filed the civil suit after he was arrested in Cincinnati in 2008 over the altercation with the cabbie. The counterclaims filed by Jiddou and Strother in response to Kennedy’s lawsuit also were resolved with Tuesday’s settlement. Jury selection had begun in Kennedy’s suit Monday and was to resume Tuesday, but the attorneys spent most of the day in discussions. After the settlement was announced, the judge asked Kennedy, Jiddou and Strother to shake hands in court, which they did.

Auto racing IRL doubleheader scheduled at Texas DALLAS — IndyCar drivers will race twice in one day next year at Texas Motor Speedway, where the 2011 racing schedule also includes the track’s first Saturday night NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. For the first time in the IndyCar Series, and first time in major U.S. open-wheel racing since 1981, there will be two races on one day. The Firestone Twin 275s at Texas on June 11, dual races with two different winners, will replace the single 550-kilometer race at the track. The first of Texas’ two Sprint Cup races next year will be April 9, and is the first night race of the 2011 season in NASCAR’s top series. Unchanged at Texas is the NASCAR tripleheader weekend in the fall with Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck races. Texas, the eighth of 10 races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, is in its regular Sunday afternoon spot, on Nov. 6, 2011.
MLB Mets withhold pay for injured K-Rod HOUSTON — The New York Mets are withholding injured closer Francisco Rodriguez’s salary while he’s sidelined, and the team wants to convert his contract to a nonguaranteed deal. The moves could be a prelude to the Mets releasing the star closer without paying most of his 2011 salary. Rodriguez was placed on the disqualified list Tuesday, six days after he tore a ligament in the thumb of his pitching hand while punching his girlfriend’s father outside a family lounge at Citi Field. Rodriguez had surgery Tuesday to repair the self-inflicted injury and will miss the rest of the season. The Mets said he won’t be paid while on the disqualified list. In addition, they said they were exercising a contractual right to convert the rest of his $37 million, threeyear deal to non-guaranteed, meaning they could try to avoid paying most of what’s left on it.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Aug. 18 1994 — South Africa is introduced for the first time in 36 years during the opening ceremonies of the 15th Commonwealth Games held in Victoria, British Columbia. South Africa had been banned from the Games since 1958 because of its apartheid policies. 1995 — Thirteen-year-old Dominque Moceanu becomes the youngest winner of the National Gymnastics Championships senior women’s all-around title, in New Orleans. 2000 — Tiger Woods ties the 36-hole scoring record in the PGA Championship with a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over unheralded Scott Dunlap. Woods, at 11-under 133, ties the mark for relation to par last set by Mark O’Meara and Ernie Els in 1995. 2004 — Paul Hamm wins the men’s gymnastics all-around Olympic gold medal by the closest margin ever in the event. Controversy follows after it was discovered a scoring error may have cost Yang Tae-young of South Korea the title. Yang, who finished with a bronze, is wrongly docked a tenth of a point on his second-to-last routine, the parallel bars. He finishes third, 0.049 points behind Hamm, who becomes the first American man to win gymnastics’ biggest prize.

Phillies creep into lead for NL wild card By The Associated Press Charlie Manuel couldn’t stop chuckling. The Philadelphia Phillies, depleted by injuries to star players throughout the year, now are alone atop the NL wild-card standings. What’s their manager think about that? “We don’t care about the wild card,” Manuel said. Roy Oswalt pitched seven sharp innings, Placido Polanco had four hits and Philadelphia beat the San Francisco Giants 9-3 on Tuesday night. The Phillies took a one-game lead over San Francisco in the wild-card race. The twotime defending NL champions remained 2 1/2 games behind Atlanta in the East after the Braves pounded Washington 10-2. “We’re trying to win our division,” Oswalt said, shrugging off the wild card. Pat Burrell homered in his first regular-season game at Citizens Bank Park since leading the victory parade down Broad Street after the Phillies won the 2008 World Series. Jose Guillen also connected for the Giants. All-Star second baseman Chase Utley went 0- for-5 in his return to Philadelphia’s lineup after having thumb surgery on July 1. “I felt pretty good,” Utley said. “Obviously, there’s room for improvement.” Oswalt (8-13) allowed three runs and six hits, striking out seven. The three-time All-Star is 2-1 in four starts since the Phillies acquired him from Houston.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt, a Mississippi native, throws in the second inning of Tuesday’s game against San Francisco. Oswalt went seven innings to help the Phillies to a 9-3 victory.
mlb He came here to pitch in big games, and delivered with another strong outing. Oswalt was 0-3 with a 3.15 ERA in three starts against the Giants with the Astros. “This is what I miss,” the Weir native said about pitching in a playoff race. “In ’05, we got to do that in Houston. Hopefully something magical will happen this season and we get back to the World Series.” In other National League games Tuesday, it was Florida 6, Pittsburgh 0; Houston 4, the
New York Mets 3; San Diego 1, the Chicago Cubs 0; Milwaukee 3, St. Louis 2; and the L.A. Dodgers 6, Colorado 0.
Twins 7, White Sox 6 Jim Thome hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning against the team that decided not to bring him back this season, sending the Minnesota Twins to a victory over the Chicago White Sox to stretch their AL Central lead to four games. After Delmon Young’s leadoff single against Matt Thornton (3-4), Thome smashed an 0-1 pitch and sent it sailing
over the right-field bleachers to send his new team and the fans at sold-out Target Field into a frenzy. Thome chucked his helmet into the air as he eagerly approached the mob at the plate. The Twins are 23-7 in their last 30 games, and the White Sox are 15-16 in their last 31. The teams have just five more meetings this year. Elsewhere in the American League, it was the New York Yankees 6, Detroit 2; Seattle 4, Baltimore 0; Boston 6, the Los Angeles Angels 0; Tampa Bay 10, Texas 1; Kansas City 2, Cleveland 1; and Oakland 6, Toronto 2.

Ex-Giant Thomson dies at Georgia home NEW YORK (AP) — We’ve heard the frenzied call forever, echoing through baseball lore. “The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!” Bobby Thomson, the man immortalized with his “Shot Heard ’Round the World” in 1951, died Monday night at his home in Savannah, Ga. He was 86 and had been in failing health for several years, the Fox & Weeks funeral home said Tuesday. He was a good player, not a Hall of Famer. Yet on that October afternoon, with one swing, Thomson transformed a pennant race for one season into a baseball moment for the ages. He hit perhaps the sport’s most famous home run, connecting off Ralph Branca for a three-run drive in the bottom of the ninth inning that sent the New York Giants over the Brooklyn Dodgers in the decisive Game 3 of their National League playoff. The drive into the left-field stands at the Polo Grounds and broadcaster Russ Hodges’ ecstatic declaration — four times shouting “the Giants win the pennant!” — remain one of the signature moments in major league history. “I never thought it was going to be that big. Hell, no,” Branca told The Associated Press from his home in suburban New York. “When we went into the next season, I thought it’d be forgotten.” “I’ll miss him,” Branca said.
“I mellowed over the years and we became good friends. I enjoyed being around him.” A threetime All-Star, Thomson hit Bobby .270 with 264 Thomson career home runs and 1,026 RBIs from 194660 with several teams. He led the league in a hitting category only once, and that was for triples. But the fly ball that flew over the wall vaulted “The Flying Scot” to a place of almost mythic status. There have been plenty of historic home runs over the years but Thomson’s shot stands as the giant among them all. The tall, lanky and self-effacing Thomson, however, was stunned that in a lineup that included future Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Monte Irvin, he would hit the pennant-winning homer. He called himself “the accidental hero.” Thomson never understood all the fuss the homer created. On its 40th anniversary in 1991, he said, “I can’t believe we’re still talking about it.” “Bobby Thomson will always hold a special place in our game for hitting one of the signature home runs in baseball history. ‘The Shot Heard ’Round the World’ will always remain a defining moment for our game, illustrating the timeless quality of the national pastime,” commissioner Bud Selig said.

Saints place Betts in the backfield NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints made a move to strengthen their running back depth when they signed former Redskin Ladell Betts to a one-year contract Tuesday. Betts joined his new teammates for a two-hour practice at the Superdome, but didn’t wear shoulder pads and was held out of team drills as he continues to work his way back from surgery last fall to repair torn left knee ligaments. Coach Sean Payton said Betts will not play against Houston on Saturday night in the Superdome. “He is coming off an injury, so we need to monitor and be smart about how we practice him, especially in the first couple of weeks back with his ACL,” Payton said. “His experience was something that we valued and his workout was good.” New Orleans worked out Betts on Aug. 3, but did not sign him. The team’s interest intensified when third-string back Lynell Hamilton suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice against New England on Aug. 11. Hamilton cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve Monday. “They basically wanted to see how my knee would hold up during the workouts, planting and cutting,” Betts said. “I’m assuming they like what they saw. I was able to get in and out of my cuts. They said, ‘You look pretty good,’ so they decided to bring me on.” Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas are firmly entrenched as the Saints’ top two halfbacks, but the team carried four last season. Hamilton, who played primarily on special teams, was in position to become the third back after Mike Bell signed with Philadelphia as a free agent in the offseason. “Those guys are established,” Betts said. “They’ve been here. They helped this team win (the Super Bowl)

nfl last year. I’m just trying to fit in wherever I can. I like to consider myself a betweenthe-tackles runner. Hopefully once the coaches see what I can do, they’ll use me to my strengths.” Betts, a nine-year veteran who turns 31 on Aug. 27, joins second-year player P.J. Hill and rookie free agent Chris Ivory in the race to back up Bush and Thomas. He will
earn $755,000 in salary this season and can earn an additional $250,000 in incentives. A second-round draft choice in 2002, the 5-foot-11, 224pound Betts had spent his entire career with Washington before being released March 4. In eight seasons he rushed for 3,176 yards and 13 touchdowns and caught 165 passes for 1,505 yards and three touchdowns. His best season came in 2006, when he accounted for 1,599 all-purpose yards and scored five touchdowns.
be determined.” Now it’s time to see if the old man can do it all again. The gray-haired Favre turned in one of his best seasons of a terrific career last year, throwing 33 touchdowns with seven interceptions to lead the Vikings to the NFC North title. He threw for 310 yards and a touchdown against the Saints in the Superdome, but also threw an interception in New Orleans territory at the end of regulation that cost them a chance at a winning field goal that would have put Minnesota in the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years. After getting cajoled by Allen, Hutchinson and Longwell, Favre will have one more shot at redemption and a second Lombardi Trophy. Assuming that Favre hits the practice field today, it will mark the one-year anniversary of his arrival to the Vikings, a move that sent shockwaves through the NFL. Yet even though everyone assumed he would be back, the same hysteria sur-
rounded his return on Tuesday. Fans clogged Viking Drive, and police tried to control traffic and keep youngsters and television cameras from spilling onto the street. Last year, Childress picked up Favre from the airport. This year, Longwell was the chauffeur, and fans tried to mob his black BMW SUV as he pulled into the driveway at Winter Park. “Brett Favre for President!!” receiver Bernard Berrian tweeted. He’ll have to settle for quarterback for now. Even though he will turn 41 in October, Favre doesn’t figure to need much time to get warmed up and ready for another season. He skipped all of training camp last year before ending another retirement and joining the Vikings. The three-time MVP delivered a season even he didn’t expect. He set career bests in completion percentage (68.4), quarterback rating (107.2) and fewest interceptions, while throwing for 4,202 yards.
“He is a veteran player, a good all-around football player,” Payton said. “He is someone who we think has pretty good balance and understands protections well.” To make room on the roster for Betts, New Orleans released free agent wide receiver Larry Beavers, who returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown during a 27-24 loss to the Patriots last Thursday.
Manning could miss next preseason game EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A bloodied Eli Manning was in some discomfort a day after receiving 12 stitches for a head wound. Manning’s status for the New York Giants’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend is uncertain. While the Giants said Tuesday that Manning showed no signs of a concussion after suffering a three-inch gash to his head in a 31-16 win over the Jets on Monday night, the 29-year-old quarterback was undergoing a battery of tests to make sure he did not suffer a more serious head injury. His helmet was knocked off and he was hit in the head. Coach Tom Coughlin was told Tuesday morning that Manning was experiencing the normal amount of discomfort a player goes through when he has stitches. Manning stretched with the team before practice this morning. “He did not talk too much about pain, but I don’t have a lot of information because any time you have an injury that is a head injury they are going to do all kinds of tests,” Coughlin said. “They are in the process of doing that right now.” Coughlin refused to speculate whether Manning will play Saturday night in the Giants’ preseason home opener at the New Meadowlands Stadium. “We’ll wait and hear what the doctors have to say after all their examinations are concluded,” Coughlin said. Manning was having the tests at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City on Tuesday. Coughlin did not know the exact nature of the tests. “He is going to go through the battery of tests that any player has who experiences any kind of a head injury,” Coughlin said. “They are not going to leave a stone
unturned.” Manning was expected to rejoin the Giants at training camp i n A l b a ny, N.Y., on Tuesday night. Eli Even if ManManning ning is cleared to play, there is some concern his helmet could rub against the stitches and create a problem with the wound healing. “Our medical people will make all of those decisions and the health and wellbeing will be first and foremost in terms of the decision to be made,” Coughlin said. “There is a great deal of attention placed in this area (head injuries).” Manning was hurt with 10:45 left in the second quarter when he opted to throw a pass on a run call without telling the rest of the offense. Expecting a handoff, running back Brandon Jacobs ran into Manning with his shoulder as the quarterback pulled the ball away. The collision knocked the ball loose and pushed Manning’s chin strap off his jaw. Then Jets linebacker Calvin Pace hit Manning in the middle of his back, knocking off his helmet and pushing Manning face first forward. “You can imagine how that works when the chin strap comes off your chin,” Coughlin said. “It (the helmet) was not unbuttoned. He had it buttoned the way it was supposed to be buttoned.” With the helmet off, Manning’s head slammed into either Jets safety Jim Leonhard or Jacobs, who were standing next to each other. Manning immediately fell to the turf and put his hand to his head. He quickly motioned to the training staff for help once he saw his hand covered in blood.
Favre Continued from Page D1. had surgery on his left ankle in June and told teammates and team officials earlier in August that he didn’t think he had another full season left in him. This is the third straight summer the Vikings have dealt with questions about Favre, so they weren’t convinced he was done. The team sent Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson and Ryan Longwell — three of the 40-yearold quarterback’s closest friends on the team — to Hattiesburg to woo Favre one more time, and it appears to have worked. Despite Favre’s late afternoon arrival at Winter Park, the Vikings did not hold a news conference on Tuesday or put out a statement officially announcing the quarterback was returning for another season. The Vikings instead issued a media schedule for today, announcing that coach Brad Childress will hold his regular news conference following practice. The team also said that a “media availability with QB Brett Favre is to
