Study: Sept. 11 most memorable TV moment

By DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack is by far the most memorable moment shared by television viewers during the past 50 years, a study released on Wednesday concluded. The only thing that came close was President John F. Kennedys assassination and its aftermath in 1963, but that was only for the people aged 55 and over who experienced those events as they happened instead of replayed as an historical artifact. Sony Electronics and the Nielsen television research company collaborated on the survey. They ranked TV moments for their impact not just by asking people if they remembered watching them, but if they recalled where they watched it, who they were with and whether they talked to other people about what they had seen. By that measure, the Sept. 11 tragedy was nearly twice as impactful as the second-ranked moment, which was the coverage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Minutes after the first airplane struck New Yorks World Trade Center on a late summer morning, television networks began covering the events continuously and stayed with them for days. The other biggest TV events, in order, were the 1995 verdict in O.J. Simpsons murder trial, the Challenger space shuttle explosion in 1986 and the death of Osama bin Laden last year, the survey found. Sony was interested in the study for clues on consumer interests and behaviors and found that television is really the grandmother of all the social devices, said Brian Siegel, vice president of television business for the company. Going into the study, Siegel said he had anticipated that entertainment events like the final episode of M-A-S-H (ranked No. 42), the Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show (No. 43) and the Who shot J.R.? episode of Dallas (No. 44) would rank higher.

Sports

Instead, television coverage of news events made the biggest difference in viewers lives. The Super Bowl is annually the most-watched TV event, with this years game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots setting a record with 111 million viewers. The memories dont seem to linger, however: the top-ranked Super Bowl Sunday event in Sonys study came in 2004 and had nothing to do with football. It was Janet Jacksons wardrobe malfunction (No. 26). Men and women agreed on the three most impactful television events Sept. 11, Katrina and Simpson. After that, some of the interests diverged. For example, women ranked the 1997 funeral of Princess Diana as the fourth most memorable event, while men put that at No. 23. Women ranked last years death of Whitney Houston at No. 5, with men judging it No. 21. Similarly, the 2003 bombing of Baghdad at the start of the Iraq War was seen as the No. 14 most impactful moment by men, and No. 37 among women. Men were also far more struck by boxer Mike Tyson biting off a piece of Evander Holyfields ear. The passage of time has also diluted some moments once thought as unforgettable, simply because succeeding generations have no personal memory of them. Mans first moon landing in 1969 ranked No. 21. Age also made a big difference in the survey. JFKs assassination was the second-most impactful TV event among people 55 and over, while for those between 18 and 34, it was the death of Osama bin Laden. Young people also ranked Barack Obamas Election Night speech in 2008 at No. 3, while that didnt move older viewers quite as much (No. 24). Simply because of their age, events like the JFK assassination, President Nixons resignation and the moon landing didnt register at all among viewers 18 to 34. The oldest event to appear in their rankings was the 1980 shooting of John Lennon.

Historic fair building to be restored

On Jan. 30, 1941, the Van Wert County Fair Board voted to advertise bids to build a new treasurers office on the northeast corner of the fairgrounds. A proposal to construct the building was originally turned down by district WPA officials but at the Feb. 22 fair board meeting, Hisey and Bebout were awarded the bid for $1,250 to construct the 13.8 x 22-foot, fully-concrete structure. Now, 71 years later, the fair board is planning to restore the old building that had been long forgotten. At this time, the board is planning to paint and reseal the building, add a new liner on the roof and replace the windows. Gary Showalter and Gary Kiracofe have been hard at work to restore the structure that once served as the ticket booth and main entrance to the fairgrounds.

Cruise, Holmes reach settlement in divorce case

BY JAKE COYLE The Associated Press NEW YORK Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reached a settlement in their divorce case, putting an official end to the much-scrutinized romance less than two weeks after Holmes unexpectedly filed for divorce. The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed, Holmes attorney Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement. Cruises rep Amanda Lundberg confirmed the settlement. An assistant in Wolfes office who would not give her name would not elaborate on the agreement. We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life, the statement from Holmes attorney said. We thank Toms counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution. Cruise, 50, and Holmes, 33, had a romance that ended as it began as tabloid fodder. Earlier Monday, they asked for privacy for their family with 6-year-old daughter Suri. We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suris best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each others commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each others roles as parents, read the statement from Lundberg and Holmes representative Nanci Ryder. The resolution was notably quick, particularly in Hollywood terms. A quick settlement indicates that they were able to agree that theyll both do some co-parenting, said Steve Mindel, a managing

partner in the Los Angeles firm Feinberg, Mindel, Brandt and Klein who has handled bi-coastal divorce cases. Mindel said the next step would be for Holmes or Cruise to file to have their status changed to divorced, but that the actual financial and child custody details wont get filed in court unless theres some later dispute. In the celebrity news media, Holmes has been portrayed with overwhelmingly more sympathy. Whether true or not, the narrative that emerged was of a lockedaway Holmes breaking free from the servitude of a strange, corrupting marriage. Us Weekly has reported that the couple fought viciously over Scientology parenting. The Daily News has trumpeted Holmes entering a new phase. A TMZ headline blared Tom treated me like a robot. That may also be the most convenient view of a relationship that even at its start spawned Free Katie! T-shirts. Cruises camp vigorously denied such a reading. Cruises lawyer Bert Fields has said they were letting the other side play the media until they wear everyone out.

Dan Wakeford, editorin-chief of both magazines

The Church of Scientology, too, didnt want to be portrayed as the schism between the couple. The quick settlement and joint statement may put out some of that fire. Its not entirely certain that its all about Rapunzel fleeing the castle, which is the motif that people love to use, said Larry Hackett, managing editor of People magazine, which broke the news of Holmes divorce filing. He called this the biggest celebrity story in two or three years, excepting the sudden death of Whitney Houston. In Touch Weekly and its sister magazine, Life & Style Weekly, are among the many outlets to focus on the Holmes-as-escapee angle. Their covers on the divorce read The Fight for Suri and Katie Breaks Free, respectively. Were intrigued by who the real Katie is, says Dan Wakeford, editor-in-chief of both magazines. Shes been hidden for so long and dominated and controlled by Tom, so we really want to know what shes like and how shes going to change. In the week and a half since filing for divorce, Holmes also captured the spotlight with a handful of public appearances. She stopped by to tape a guest judge appearance on Lifetimes Project Runway, was snapped taking Suri for ice cream, and was seen taking a trip to the Childrens Museum of the Arts. The appearances have only fed the view that Holmes is now living easier and freer and conversely, that shes orchestrating a public relations campaign. On the other hand, Holmes may have simply been trying to regain a measure of privacy, said celebrity publicist Howard Bragman, vice chairman of reputation.com.

6 dead, several missing in Mont Blanc avalanche

PARIS (AP) An avalanche today in the French Alps swept six European climbers to their deaths on a slope leading to Mont Blanc, left at least nine others injured and several climbers unaccounted for, authorities said. Two climbers were rescued and emergency crews were searching for the missing. A group of 28 climbers from Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France, Denmark and Serbia were believed to be in the expedition caught in the avalanche that was 4,000 meters (13,1000 feet) high on the north face of Mont Maudit, part of the Mont Blanc range. Some climbers managed to turn back in time, the regional authorities in Haute-Savoie said. There was conflicting information about the dead. Two Spaniards, one German and one Swiss climber were among the dead, the HauteSavoie prefecture said. News reports said three British climbers were among the dead.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) A Palestinian militant was killed and four people were wounded in Israeli air and artillery attacks in the Gaza Strip today, a Gaza health official said. The Israeli military confirmed a combined air and artillery attack, which Gaza health official Dr. Ashraf al-Kidra said wounded three Palestinians, including one critically. Al-Kidra said a second airstrike later today morning killed the militant and wounded another. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on that report. The Palestinians had no information on the identities of the three men wounded in the first attack, so it was not clear whether they were militants or civilians. The military said that strike targeted militants from Gazas ruling Hamas group who were preparing to launch an antitank missile at Israeli soldiers patrolling the Israel-Gaza border. The second strike targeted an abandoned militant training site, Palestinian officials said.

Freight train derails, causing fiery blast

By KANTELE FRANKO and MITCH STACY Associated Press COLUMBUS Exploding freight cars full of ethanol made for a dramatic early morning scene in Ohios capital on Wednesday, but officials said the train derailment that led to a hurried evacuation of an urban neighborhood could have been much worse. The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched a 12-person team to investigate the derailment on the Norfolk Southern Corp. tracks, which led to spectacular explosions and the burning of three tank cars each carrying 30,000 gallons of ethanol. Nobody aboard the train was injured. The NTSB expects to issue a preliminary report on the derailment in a month. The full investigation could take a year. Officials said they dont know yet what caused the accident, which occurred at around 2 a.m. in an industrial area near Interstate 71, north of downtown. The explosions were felt for blocks and sent flames shooting high in the air. NTSB board member Earl F. Weener said Wednesday night that the tankers are still burning. He said once they cool down, a chemical foam will be sprayed on them to prevent re-igniting and the remaining ethanol will be removed. Two people were injured while walking on the tracks to investigate when a second explosion occurred. Officials said they went to the hospital themselves with minor injuries. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, who later Wednesday visited a temporary Red Cross shelter set up for evacuees, said the accident could have been worse if it had occurred in an area where more people lived. Im grateful, in one respect as well, that this did not occur in a more populated area near more residents, he said. It very well could have. A mile up or a mile south. North or south, east or west. It could have been tragic in other ways as well. Assistant Chief David Whiting of the Columbus fire division said it was fortunate the accident occurred in the middle of the night. The time it occurred, where it occurred, were very good things for us, Whiting said. Because we didnt have a whole lot of people around, businesses were closed, we were able to take care of getting our firefighters back and evacuating a small number of people. About 100 residents who live within a 1-mile radius of the derailment were evacuated by firefighters, who decided to let the fire burn itself out, according to Whiting. Officials said the burning ethanol, an alcohol compound commonly used in fuel, posed no environmental or health concerns. Residents were back in their homes by mid-afternoon. Nicholas Goodrich, a 35-year-old grocery store employee from Columbus, said he and two other people got as close as 100 feet from the explosion. Looking at it, I thought it was an atomic bomb or some-

Finally in 2011 the federal government agreed that it would add the snake to its list of endangered species which will help it get the habitat protection needed to ensure long term survival. CBD also works on other fronts for reptiles. The groups campaign to outlaw rattlesnake round-upscontests whereby hunters collect and kill as many snakes as they can in a yearhas helped stem population declines of eastern diamondback rattlesnakes. And CBDs efforts to educate the public about the plight of freshwater turtles, which are overcollected for food and the pet trade in the southern and midwestern parts of the U.S., helped convince several states for the first time to regulate turtle harvests. One way everyone can help reptile species in decline is to make our backyards friendly to them. The U.S. Geological Surveys Patuxent Wildlife Research Center offers tips on what to plant and how to arrange a landscape to encourage reptiles and other wildlife. Landowners that take these steps may be rewarded with fewer pests, given reptiles taste for large numbers of mosquitoes and other insects as well as small rodents. Other pro-reptile tips include driving carefully (road mortality is a big issue for snakes, turtles and other species) and keeping outside areas around your property free of garbage that might attract raccoons, crows and other pests that also prey on reptiles.

Missing Ohio womans family wants to help search in NC

ASHLAND (AP) Relatives of an Ohio woman who disappeared during a vacation are heading to North Carolina to help search for her. Authorities say 33-yearold Lynn Jackenheimer, of Ashland, went to the Outer Banks last week with her on-and-off boyfriend, Nate Summerfield, and her two children but didnt return with them. Summerfields brother called police to say Summerfield told him he strangled the woman.

thing, he said. The heat was so excruciating that I had to ball up and cover my body. Norfolk Southern spokesman Dave Pidgeon said the 98-car-freight train was traveling from Chicago to Linwood, N.C. Sixteen cars ended up going off the tracks, including the three hauling ethanol. Two cars transporting wheat and corn syrup were breached and were leaking an undetermined amount, officials said. Crews were applying sand to stop the leaks before trying to recover what they can of the remaining cargo. Joel Priester said he watched the blast from his home about two blocks away. I saw flames, then I heard a loud sound, like a boom, and saw the flames shooting higher, he said. It looked like the sun exploded. Patricia Reilly, a spokeswoman for the American Association of Railroads, said freight train accidents are uncommon, given the volume of freight that is transported around the country by trains. Roughly 29.4 million carloads of freight are hauled every year across 140,000plus miles of rail in the United States, she said. Of that, 1.8 million carloads are categorized as varying hazardous materials. Last year, about 325,000 carloads of ethanol were hauled over those lines. Last year was one of the safest years ever for U.S. railroads, Reilly said. I think one accident is a horrible thing, she said. But its always a good education to understand in context what that represents in the big picture.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: How are the worlds reptile species faring in terms of population numbers and endangered status? Whats being done, if anything, to help them? Vicky Desmond, Troy, NY The worlds reptilesturtles, snakes, lizards, alligators and crocodilesare indeed in trouble. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, which publishes an annual global roster of threatened and endangered species called the Red List, considers some 664 species of reptiles representing more than 20 percent of known reptile species worldwideas endangered or facing extinction. Meanwhile, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service considers about 10 percent of American reptiles threatened or endangered. Why care? The non-profit Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) considers reptiles amazing creatures with clever adaptations that have helped them survive for millions of years. CBD also points out that reptiles are valuable indicators of wider ecological health. Because many reptile species are long-lived and relatively slow-moving, they suffer from disturbances like habitat loss or pollution for extended periods, the group reports, adding that a diverse community of reptiles living in a given area is evidence of a healthy ecosystem that can support the plant and animal life they and other species need for food and cover. So whats causing the reptiles decline? While habitat loss is the most obvious cause of endangerment, declines are even even occurring in pristine areas from threats such as disease, UV radiation and climate change, reports CBD. Overcollecting and unregulated hunting also are taking a toll on reptile populations. In order to help stem the tide of reptile loss, CBD leverages the court system to pressure the federal government to protect at-risk species. For instance, back in 2004 the group worked with the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection in filing a petition to add the Tucson shovelnosed snake, which dwells in the quickly disappearing wild desert around fast-growing cities like Tucson and Phoenix, to the federal list of endan-

Bill would grant tax cuts to businesses that hire

By ALAN FRAM Associated Press WASHINGTON Democrats began trying to push a bill through the Senate Tuesday slicing taxes for businesses that hire new workers and buy major new equipment. They ran straight into opposition from Republicans who complained that the measure was too timid and sought to refocus the debate on their own economic priorities. As soon as debate began, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said he would offer an amendment extending for another year broad tax cuts for millions of Americans that expire in January, including for the wealthiest earners. President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders want to renew them only for families earning up to $250,000 a cutoff that Democrats say would force the rich to contribute to deficit reduction but Republicans say would stifle job creation. I remain amazed that the Democratic majority has decided to pursue this bill to support small businesses, when looming tax increases threaten to crush these same small businesses, Hatch said. Its just like asking to go into a deeper recession, he added of the tax increases that will hit unless Congress acts. Its like saying we dont care. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would not say whether he would allow a vote on Hatchs amendment, but it seemed unlikely. He tried turning the tables on Republicans by accusing them of holding middle-class tax cuts hostage so the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans could get tax reductions. So I give Mitt Romney and all the Republicans this news: Theyre all doing just fine. Mitt Romney doesnt need additional tax breaks, Reid said of the wealthy GOP presidential challenger. With Election Day less than four months off, the battle highlighted how both parties are using congressional debate to transmit their messages to voters with little regard to whether the legislation at stake will ever become law. The Senates Democratic tax-cutting bill has little chance of surviving. Neither does Wednesdays planned vote by the Republican-run House to repeal Obamas 2010 health care law, which has no chance of being duplicated in the Democratic-led Senate. The Senate bill debated Tuesday would let businesses take tax credits for 10 percent

DEAR EDITOR: Recently the ODNR gave the people who love or hate the canal a window of opportunity. Some say why didnt they save the fish or call some employee an idiot. But lets look at the opportunity it presents. Why not rally around the canal commission and do something to make the canal a fishing hole, like it was for me in the 50s. Could we move quickly and get a plan in place to dredge the canal. Oh yes the negative thinkers say it will just silt back in. I say mother nature will do what she will do. ODNR says we are small fish and there is no money in the budget. Well, we keep asking for a smaller government so maybe we should do what my dad, Don Patthoff, did in 40s. He went around Delphos collecting ashes from home coal furnaces and built a sinter track at the Delphos Stadium. What a dumb idea; its work. I havent lived in Delphos since I went away to college but I still call it my home town. Joan, my wife owns a local business, so I do get to help maintain the building on the beautiful MiamiErie Canal. I had the pleasure to pick up, by hand, 36 dead fish to control the odor and the maggots that eat the flesh off of the fishes bones. Right now I am, by rake and shovel, building the bank back up to repair the erosion that has already taken place. While sweating in the 100-degree weather, I wondered what can we do now while others just say it is a pity and it smells (not as bad as cleaning the hog barn at my uncles farm). There are a lot of good people in the area that will pitch in if there is a plan. Im not a community leader and I dont feel it is my place to tell the city fathers what to do. I am a dreamer of sorts and wonder what might be. Some people could operate an excavator to dredge the canal. Some could lend the canal commission their dump trucks. Some can help place riprap to control future erosion. Some can raise money to pay for fuel and equipment rental. Some can work with our government people and see what can be done in funding and materials (not what cant be done). Some can cook or bring water to the working folk. The athletes that need to build strong bodies could shovel muck. The dirt could be used to build a sledding hill, or a soap box derby run or a place for the student athletes to run up hill. The musings of one man. What could be? Gee it sounds like a Shirley Temple movie. Dennis J. Patthoff, Lima

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Biden to offer NAACP rebuttal to Romney

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press WASHINGTON Vice President Joe Biden is offering a rebuttal of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney before the nations largest civil rights organization, defending President Barack Obamas record before black voters. Biden is addressing the NAACP convention in Houston today, a day after Romney said hed do more for AfricanAmericans than Obama, the nations first black president. Romney was booed when he said hed repeal Obamas health care reform law but otherwise got a polite reception as he reached out to a traditionally Democratic voting bloc. Obamas campaign countered that Romneys policies would hurt working families in the black community, an argument Biden was expected to make before the NAACP delegates. Democrats said Romney had opposed the rescue of the U.S. auto industry, the health care law and the economic stimulus, which they said helped black voters. While Mitt Romney tried to paint a picture of a president who failed the AfricanAmerican community, we know that the reality is that President Barack Obama has delivered time and time again, said Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. Obama is not speaking to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People this year. He spoke to the organization during the 2008 campaign and in 2009, while first lady Michelle Obama spoke to the group in 2010. The president is scheduled to address the National Urban League in New Orleans on July 25. White House press secretary Jay Carney, asked if Obama was taking black voters for granted by skipping the NAACP meeting, noted that Obama has spoken to the organization in the past and met with its president, Ben Jealous, last year.

GOP-controlled House votes for repeal

By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON Pressing an election-year point, Republicans pushed yet another bill through the House on Wednesday to repeal the nations two-year-old health care law, a maneuver that forced Democrats to choose between President Barack Obamas signature domestic achievement and a public that is persistently skeptical of its value. The vote was 244-185, with five Democratic defectors siding with Republicans. By Republican count, the vote marked the 33rd time in 18 months that the tea partyinfused GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund or otherwise scale back the program opponents scornfully call it Obamacare since the GOP took control of the House. Repeal this year by Congress is doomed, since the Democratic-controlled Senate will never agree. But Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam said before joining other Republicans in Wednesdays House vote: Heres the good news. The voters get the last word in November. Stay tuned. Nor was the vote in the House the only act of political theater during the day as campaign concerns increasingly crowded out bipartisan attempts at law-making in the Capitol. One day after a campaigning Obama called on Congress to pass his proposal to extend tax cuts on all but the highest wage earners, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky offered to allow an immediate vote. I cant see why Democrats wouldnt want to give him the chance to sign the bill, he said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., countered by blocking an immediate vote. Well get to the tax issues. That way well be able to talk in more detail about Governor Romneys taxes, he said in a reference to Democratic campaign attacks on the GOP presidential candidates overseas investment, the relatively low rate of income tax he is required to pay and his refusal thus far to release personal tax returns dating before 2010. The health care debate roiled the campaign for the White House as well as Congress. Republican presidential

of the difference between their payrolls this year and 2011, whether the extra money is used to hire workers or give raises to existing employees. Because the credit is capped at $500,000, Democrats said it would predominantly help small businesses. It also limits the tax credit to the first $110,100 of each workers salary, which the White House said meant that wellpaid executives would be ineligible for tax relief. The measure would also let firms buying major new equipment in 2012, such as machinery, deduct the entire cost of the purchase this year under so-called bonus depreciation rules. Currently they can only deduct half the amount. Though both parties favor the idea, critics say it sometimes gives tax breaks to firms that would have purchased the equipment anyway, limiting its impact. Democrats said the measure would create 990,000 jobs, citing a study they requested from a private, nonpartisan economic consulting firm. The White House said almost 2 million companies that boost their payrolls would get tax breaks and noted that Obama had proposed lower levies for small businesses in the to-do list he suggested for Congress in May.

Ralph Grothouse, East Fifth Street, was named assistant corporal of Company A, at the Citizens Military Training Camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. The word was received here Monday of his appointment. A letter was received from Carl Hotz, another Delphos man attending the camp. Hotz is a member of Company D, as is Richard Young, another Delphos boy at camp.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON July 10 on my calendar reads: Doug Day Five Years. That is, five years ago, my friend Doug Marlette Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, novelist, playwright, raconteur and cultural omnivore died in a car accident on a rainy road between Memphis, Tenn., and Oxford, Miss. This is not to be maudlin, I feel compelled to say, which is also a way of apologizing for indulging a personal loss. But it is summer and this is what columnists do when they figure the Earth will continue to turn on its axis if one commentator fails to acknowledge that a given politician has revealed himself to be flawed in some way. It is, moreover, a worthy topic because Marlettes premature exit at 57 was a loss to a world never more desperately in need of sane voices and humorous reminders of our human-ness, as he would put it. His gimlet eye on all things sublime and absurd has not been replaced and may never be. The world produces a few geniuses now and then who are simply sui generis, and Marlette was surely one. I know I speak for dozens of close friends and family members and even a good number of enemies when I say that Marlette was that

A friend remembered

candidate Mitt Romney drew boos from his largely black audience at the NAACP convention when he vowed to wipe out Obamas overhaul. In the House, Republicans assailed the law as a jobkilling threat to the economic recovery, but Democrats said repeal would eliminate consumer protections that already have affected millions. The intent of the presidents health care law was to lower costs and to help create jobs. ... Instead, it is making our economy worse, driving up costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire, said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. He cited a study by a business group that estimated that one of the bills taxes would cost up to 249,000 jobs, and a different estimate that a second tax would put as many as 47,100 in jeopardy. But House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said repeal would take away provisions that guarantee coverage for children with pre-existing medical conditions, reduce prescription drug costs for some seniors, provide for protective checks for patients of all ages and ensure rebates totaling more than $1 billion this summer for policy holders.

Point of View
rare creature who could size up a person, place, event or trend with a glance that was simultaneously mirthful and homicidal. He was an intellectual assassin with a preternatural knack for zeroing in on hypocrites and phonies, and woe unto those under his gaze. Your most deeply guarded secret was transparent to him; your most precious conceit a speck of lint on his sleeve. I have written about Marlette periodically as topics have permitted because this is what friends do: remember. It is also a pleasant duty to remind others not only of his gifts but of his contributions to the national conversation. We weep that Marlette missed Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, two characters he would have relished revealing. He missed Palin entirely, but he did catch a glimpse of Obama and was deeply skeptical of his presidential candidacy. Because I had been in Boston for Obamas convention speech in 2004, I was convinced that he was a future

president and said so. Marlette just chuckled and said, Yeah, well, well see. For someone addicted to deadlines at an early age, Marlette was proudly at ease with ambiguity and patient in the way of old souls. He knew that the gods exact justice from those who try to steal their fire. He was usually prescient. Though a committed Democrat, Marlette was no ideologue and wasnt fond of those who were. He would have rolled in clover at the sight of his colleagues clamoring to hold up the hem of Obamas raiment. His cackle would have rattled the rafters to watch Palin (whom he would have admired as a force of nature) work crowds into a froth while his own tribe writhed in revulsion at her flirty ignorance. He would have understood as few others that, though Palin may have lacked fluency in the language of elites, she knew instinctively how to create and then harness emotional contagion. Marlette had long distanced himself from the cacophony of the burgeoning media world, which formed the original basis for our friendship. He responded to a column I had written about the death of newspapers and thus began a conversation that lasted five years. Living in

adjoining Carolinas (his North and my South), we created a virtual newsroom, plotting columns and cartoons from our respective bunkers. Like prisoners in The Count of Monte Cristo, we knocked on the cell floor and whispered, Anybody there? Descended from what he called lintheads, Marlette had experienced New York the way Walker Percy said Southerners must (to discover theyre just as smart as those Northern boys). He had a nice dance with earned fame but eventually found his way back home just like Kudzu, the comic strip character he created and nurtured for 30 years. I could write a book, but much of Marlette can be found in those he wrote, including more than a dozen cartoon collections, a memoir about cartooning (In Your Face), two novels -- The Bridge, based on his textile-working, union-organizing family, and Magic Time, a love story that manages to make a sturdy connection between terrorism now and during the civil rights era in Mississippi. Youll find some of the man in both novels, and I commend them and him to you.

The more things change ...

In honor of the just JIM METCALFE completed fortnight The Wimbledon Championships. I always thought that lawn tennis the kind that is played on grass at Wimbledon jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com was a serve-andvolley, attacking style up until the last few years. They have slowed down the balls and the grass, allowing for more and longer rallies. Before this recent era, in the age of Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert and Johnny McEnroe and before then, the courts were all chewed up all over the place. If I remember, they even used to wear cleats to make sure they had good footing. Now, there are very few true serve-and-volleyers along the lines of Martina, Pete Sampras, Pat Cash and Tim Henman and many others before them. Well, it turns out that the game has come full circle in regards to The Championships. In its first years starting in 1877 as the worlds oldest tennis tournament it was also a clash of baseliners making shots and not many attacking the net. Overall, the game was that way, even on other surfaces. That all changed with the emergence of the first truly great Wimbledon champion, William Charles Renshaw, born in 1861 in Leamington, Warwickshire. He won seven gentlemens singles title the feat matched by Sampras and recently by Roger Federer and 14 overall, including doubles with his twin brother, Ernest. They called his style the Renshaw Rush that not only was attacking but was also with great power. Apparently, it attracted what was then large crowds not by todays standards but this was 130 years ago! and helped the game grow not only in England but throughout the world. Another part of this story that caught my eye was the familial aspect. With the emergence over a decade and a half ago of the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, it turns out that they werent the first sibling rivalry in the game. That goes way back. William beat his twin three times to claim Wimbledon titles all in 5-setters and then teamed with him to win seven doubles trophies. Sound familiar? I did not know this, either, but at the time Wimbledon had what they called an all-comers bracket, where anybody who could qualify would gain entrance to the tournament. Heck, maybe I could have made it!! Two, the reigning champion only had to play one match; the final. That was changed in 1922. Maybe thats why Renshaws run of six straight titles matched by Martina from 1982-87 among her record nine championships wont be broken! Now if they can get the courts ready for the Olympics when the tennis competition starts July 28! With the Summer Olympics from London bearing down on us, theres a natural flood of stories with a remember when? feel. Such as the much-hyped 3,000-meter matchup between Mary Decker and the barefoot Zola Budd at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Both are among the greatest middle-distance (compared to a marathon!) runners in history. The now-famous (or is it infamous?) collision between the two originally, Budd was blamed for it but since, even Decker didnt blame her rival ended with Decker sprawled on the infield, unable to go on. I didnt remember this but Budd who was booed the rest of the race finished seventh; she claimed she purposely slowed down because she didnt want to face a hostile proAmerican crowd (Decker was an American and Budd was a transplanted South African running for the United Kingdom) if she had medaled. I guess I can buy that, especially if you believe you were the cause of the spill to begin with. Maybe she really wasnt; after all, there is a lot of jostling in these events at the top level, so its part of the competition. What is sad is that neither of these women ever won an Olympic medal. Or this one regarding Flo-Jo Florence Griffith-Joyner. She of the flamboyant attire and world-class speed. She set two world records at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 in the 100 and 200 in winning two golds and adding a relay gold (4x1) and a silver (4x4). That was the year that a Brazilian runner his name escapes me accused her of using steroids because she didnt look like a woman. I remember my response was to ask him if hed ever seen the East German women or the Russians! She died suddenly of a seizure in her sleep in 1998 at the age of 38. This isnt about the Olympics but it caught my eye especially after a friend sent it to me! There was a bench-clearing brawl in a full-contact football game at Dilboy Stadium in Somerville, Massachusetts. Shocking, isnt it? Whats interesting is that it was a playoff game in the Womens Football Alliance between defending national champion Boston Militia and the DC Divas! One woman was carted off the field with a broken leg.

COLDWATER Jefferson was shut out for the second straight time in the ACME Coldwater District summer baseball tournament at Coldwaters Veterans Field. This time, it was Celina right-hander Eric Fickert who did the damage, tossing a 2-hitter to pace the Bulldogs to an 8-0 victory. Fickert went the distance, tossing 94 pitches (63 strikes) in only yielding one walk, one hit batter and fanning nine. Nine other outs he registered were via ground balls. The Bulldogs got off quickly, scoring four in the top of the first against Jefferson right-hander Tyler Rice (2 2/3 innings, 7 hits, 6 runs, 5 earned, 2 baseson-balls, 2 strikeouts). Shawn Stockler (2-for-4) led off with a single to right; an error on the play put him at third, from where he tallied the first run on a ground ball to second by Caleb Kuhn. An out later, Fickert helped his own cause by working a walk and

Heat get 2 new shooters; no deal for Magic center

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press
The Miami Heat got two more shooters. The Orlando Magic, at least for now, are keeping their center. A flurry of deals were completed Wednesday and another one was put on hold on the first day contracts could be signed in the NBA. Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis inked their deals with the NBA champions, who will rely on their perimeter accuracy to create more space on the court for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. The Spurs announced Tim Duncan was staying in San Antonio and the Knicks completed a sign-andtrade to bring Marcus Camby to New York. But theres no deal for the best big man of them all in the NBA right now. The Magic cant find an agreement they like for AllStar center Dwight Howard, who has asked for a trade to Brooklyn. The Magic have tried to accommodate, only to find nothing from the Nets that fit their desires. Weve had discussions with Brooklyn, weve had discussions with a host of different teams about a host of different issues. And the answer is, Yes were still talking to them, Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. Were still looking to do whatever it is that puts us in the best position from a sustainability standpoint (and) from a strategic standpoint. Instead, the Nets re-signed their current center, Brook Lopez, to an extension. He had been linked to the Howard trade talk for months but knows he will at last begin the season in Brooklyn, ineligible to be traded until Jan. 15. Free agency opened July 1 and teams were able to begin signing players at 12:01 a.m. EDT Wednesday. Deron Williams got a quick start, signing his 5-year, $98 million extension with the Nets while in Las Vegas for the U.S. Olympic teams training camp right after the window opened. Even though he hasnt been able to get Howard, Nets GM Billy King kept Williams, traded for All-Star guard Joe Johnson and forward Reggie Evans, kept starting forward Gerald Wallace and signed Bosnian forward Mirza Teletovic. Things are looking up for another long-time lowly team, the Los Angeles Clippers. Blake Griffin wanted to be a part of it, signing a 5-year extension that could pay him about $95 million. Its exciting and that was the goal from day one, to start building something and not just fall into the history of the program, Griffin said of the Clippers, who also signed guard Jamal Crawford, and I think weve done a good job of turning the ship in the right direction. Allen decided to leave one good situation for another, taking less money from the Heat than the Celtics were offering. With he and Lewis, Miami will have options all over the court. Youve got to doubleteam LeBron. You have to double-team Dwyane Wade. Youve got to double-team Chris Bosh. And then you think theyre going to leave Ray Allen open? Lewis asked. Theyve got to leave somebody open. So I have to go shoot a million jumpers tonight and be ready to knock them down. Another good 3-point shooter, Ryan Anderson, has a new home. After leading the league in 3-pointers last season and winning the NBAs Most Improved Player award, he was dealt by the Magic to New Orleans for Mexican Gustavo Ayon. The Hornets have three days to decide if they want Eric Gordon to play with Anderson. He signed an offer sheet in Phoenix for four years and $58 million but New Orleans has three days to match the deal for the restricted free agent, which they are expected to do.
Also: The Knicks brought Camby back to New York in a sign-and-trade with Houston and re-signed guard JR Smith. They were still working to complete deals with Jason Kidd and Steve Novak, both of which had already been agreed to. And even with Kidd coming aboard, Jeremy Lin will enter next season as the Knicks starting point guard. Coach Mike Woodson repeated that the Knicks would absolutely match an offer sheet Lin had agreed to sign with Houston and that he would go to training camp as the starter.

Kyle Berry doubled down the left-field line. Jimmy Luebke singled to center to score both runners and, in turn, he scored on a triple to deep left by Riley Luebke to give the Green and White a 4-0 lead and more than enough runs for Fickert. Zach Ricker was hit by a pitch with one down in the Jefferson first and, an out later, Zach Kimmett walked. However, a fly ball to center by Jordan Herron ended the Red and Whites (9-10) only real scoring chance against Fickert. That also started a string of seven straight outs. Celina made it 6-0 in the second. With one out, Stockler tripled to deep left center and touched the plate as Kuhn flied deep enough to center to get him home. Cody Vogel (3 runs) singled to left; a misplay put him at third. Fickert walked. An error on a grounder hit by Berry plated Vogel for a 6-0 spread. A 2-out double to right center by Skylar McCarter in the Celina third chased Rice and brought Herron (2 1/3 IPs, 1 hit, 1 earned run, 3 BBs, 1 K, 2 wild pitches) to

the mound. A wild pitch put the runner at third but Herron struck out Stockler to end the threat. In the visitor fourth, the lead was extended to 7-0. With one down, Vogel walked. He took off for second as Fickert bounced out to short and eventually scored as Berry doubled to left. Austin Jettinghoff commenced the Delphos fourth with a line shot up the gut and a passed ball moved him up a base. However, Fickert struck out the side, starting another 7-out string. Celina threatened again in the fifth. R. Luebke walked and advanced on a wild pitch. Pinch-hitter Andy Sneddon walked. McCarter forced Sneddon at second. He then stole second. However, Herron got the next two out to end the uprising. Celina got its final tally in the sixth against third pitcher Ricker (2 IPs, 1 earned tally, 4 BBs, 1 WP). Vogel walked, moved up on a 1-out wild pitch, took third on a fly ball to center by Berry and scored on consecutive free passes to J. Luebke, R. Luebke and Sneddon to make it 8-0. A fly ball kept it there.

Metcalfes Musings

The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno defended his programs integrity in a 7-month-old letter released Wednesday, a day ahead of a report that could forever mar his legacy. In the letter, written shortly before his death and confirmed as legitimate by his family, Paterno rejected the notion that his former assistant Jerry Sanduskys sexual abuse of boys amounted to a football scandal or tarnished the accomplishments of his players or Penn States reputation as a whole. The results of Penn States internal investigation into the Sandusky scandal was released today in a report that answered many of the troubling questions swirling around one of the worst scandals in sports history. FOOTBALL NEW YORK Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is launching a sports clothing line called V7 that will be sold exclusively at East Coast sporting goods shop Modells. The line is the latest image-restoration move for Vick, who spent 18 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges and was released in 2009. He has since been re-signed with Nike and married longtime fiancie Kijafa Frink earlier this summer. The line includes technical athletic clothing such as T-shirts. Part of the proceeds will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia. BASEBALL KANSAS CITY, Mo. The National Leagues 8-0 victory in the AllStar game was the highest-rated primetime show Tuesday night, according to overnight ratings. The game drew a rating of 8.1 and a 14 share, up 3 percent over the 2011 game. It was the first year-to-year gain since the 2008 game; last years game in Phoenix drew a record low. St. Louis had the largest overnight rating (20.5) and share (33), up 15 percent from last year. Kansas City was next at 18.7 and 31, up a whopping 188 percent. Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions tuned

into a program, and shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time. OAKLAND, Calif. The Oakland Athletics released LHP Brian Fuentes. The move announced Wednesday comes a little more than a week after the team designated Fuentes for assignment. The reliever finished 2-2 with five saves, three blown saves and a 6.84 ERA in 26 outings this season, including recording his 200th save May 2 at Boston to become the sixth lefthander in major-league history to reach the mark. The 36-year-old has 204 career saves with a 3.58 ERA in 644 career appearances over 12 seasons with five clubs. He went 0-2 with a save, two blown saves, a 19.50 ERA and .452 opponents average over his final seven outings. AUTO RACING CHARLOTTE, N.C. Suspended NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger announced Wednesday that he tested positive for a stimulant and was collecting his medicines and supplements in an attempt to figure out what got him in trouble. A statement issued by Allmendingers business manager didnt identify the stimulant and added the driver doesnt know what caused him to fail the random test conducted June 29. He was suspended Saturday and NASCAR has also not revealed the substance. Allmendinger is the second Sprint Cup Series driver to be suspended under the NASCAR drug policy implemented in 2009. The 30-year-old Allmendinger has requested his B urine sample be tested and its not clear when that will occur. Allmendinger added Tuesday that he would never knowingly take a prohibited substance. According to NASCARs drug policy, a stimulant is defined as amphetamine, methamphetamine, Ecstasy (MDMA), Eve (MDEA), MDA, PMA, Phentermine and other amphetamine derivatives and related compounds. CYCLING AUSTIN, Texas The U.S. AntiDoping Agency on Wednesday granted

SPORTS BRIEFS

The Toronto Raptors acquired point guard Kyle Lowry from Houston and signed fellow guard Landry Fields to a 3-year offer sheet worth nearly $20 million that the Knicks would have three days to match. Golden State sent Dorell Wright to the Philadelphia 76ers in a 3-team trade that moved guard Jarrett Jack from the New Orleans Hornets to the Warriors. The Hornets received the draft rights to Edin Bavcic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Sixers in a salary-slashing move that clears space in a crowded backcourt. Philadelphia got center Darryl Watkins from New Orleans. The move will clear about $5.5 million in cap space for New Orleans, giving them more money to sign a center and also allow rookie combo guard Austin Rivers, the 10th overall pick out of Duke in last months NBA draft, to see more playing time next season. The Sixers used the amnesty clause on Elton Brand and the $18.1 million hes owed in the final season of a 5-year contract a move that had to happen for the Wright trade to go through. Philadelphia also agreed to a 2-year deal with forward Lavoy Allen, signed center Spencer Hawes and agreed to a 1-year deal with veteran swingman Nick Young, whose arrival allowed the team to part ways with reserve guard Lou Williams. Golden State also has Richard Jefferson under contract for two more seasons and is hoping to re-sign restricted free agent Brandon Rush, plus selected small forwards Harrison Barnes seventh overall and Draymond Green at No. 35 in the draft. The Portland Trail Blazers and free agent J.J. Hickson have agreed to a 1-year deal, it was confirmed by the forwards agent, Andy Miller. Seven-foot center Chris Kaman tweeted that he has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, giving him a chance to play with friend and former German Olympic teammate Dirk Nowitzki. The deal for Kaman is for one year, according to a person familiar with the agreement. That person added Dallas was planning to use the amnesty clause on center Brendan Haywood. The Thunder announced the signings of Hasheem Thabeet, the overall No. 2 pick in 2009, and undrafted free agent Hollis Thompson. Terms were not disclosed, though Yahoo Sports cited anonymous sources in reporting the 36-year-old Duncan got a 3-year, $36 million deal from the Spurs. Steve Nash was introduced as the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers, a week after reaching a deal to leave the Phoenix Suns.

Lance Armstrong an extension of up to 30 days to contest drug charges while the 7-time Tour de France winner challenges the case in federal court. The move erases the Saturday deadline for Armstrong to either send the case to arbitration or accept sanctions from USADA, which would likely include a lifetime ban from cycling and other sports along with stripping the Tour titles he won from 1999-2005. Armstrong this week sued in U.S. District Court in Austin to block the case from moving forward, arguing that USADAs arbitration process violates his constitutional rights and that the agency doesnt have jurisdiction over the alleged doping violations. BELLEGARDE-SUR-VALSERINE, France Frances Thomas Voeckler won the 10th stage of the Tour de France as the race entered the Alps on Wednesday. Bradley Wiggins retained the overall lead. The 120.9-mile ride from Maconsur-Valserine marked a return to racing after a tumultuous rest day in which a Cofidis rider was suspended by his team following his arrest by police in a doping probe. OLYMPICS LONDON The British government is putting 3,500 extra military personnel on standby to protect venues at the London Olympics, after a private contractor acknowledged Wednesday it may not be able to provide enough guards on time. The contractor, G4S, which was supposed to provide the bulk of 13,200 private security guards across 100 venues, revealed in a statement it had encountered problems providing staff but insisted it still hoped to meet its obligations. A person brief on the governments planned response, who demanded anonymity because the move has yet to be announced publicly, said the troops are being prepared after G4S held talks with organizers and Britains government. Britains mammoth Olympics security operation was already scheduled to include 7,500 troops, thousands of police, Typhoon fighter jets, helicop-

ters, two warships and bomb disposal experts. HOCKEY NEWARK, N.J. Lou Lamoriello, New Jerseys longtime general manager who has led the Devils to three Stanley Cup titles and five Eastern Conference crowns, was named Wednesday to this years induction class of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Former players Mike Modano, who won the Stanley Cup with the Dallas Stars, and Eddie Olczyk, who won NHL title with the New York Rangers, are also a part of the class that will be enshrined in the fall. Since Lamoriello took over in 1987, the Devils have secured nine division titles and won the Cup in 1995, 2000, and 2003. New Jersey lost in this years finals to the Los Angeles Kings. Modano, who lost the Cup finals to New Jersey in 2000 as a member of the Stars, played in 21 NHL seasons. He finished with 561 goals and 1,374 points and holds the record for most postseason points (145) by an American. His Stars defeated Buffalo in the 1999 Cup finals. Olczyk was the third overall pick of the 1984 draft and played for 16 years with the Blackhawks, Maple Leafs, Jets, Rangers, Kings and Penguins. He finished with 342 goals and 794 points in 1,031 games. His Rangers defeated Vancouver in 1994 to win the Cup. COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Quarterback Phillip Sims has been granted a waiver to play at Virginia this season. The school says it was informed by the NCAA of the decision Wednesday. Sims was among the highest rated quarterbacks in the country coming out of Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake in 2010. He had a 48-4 record and set state records with 10,725 yards passing and 119 touchdown passes. He played in eight games as a redshirt freshman at Alabama in 2011, then transferred to Virginia in May. Sims is expected to be able to compete for the starting job against incumbent Michael Rocco and sophomore dual-threat David Watford.

Madsen slides to Doty Classic victory at LMP

By Shawn Miller World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series PR For The Delphos Herald LIMA Initially, Kerry Madsen was just hoping to survive Wednesday night. In the end, the Australian stood atop the podium at Limaland Motorsports Park after claiming the 40-lap feature, which was filled with slide jobs and close calls at the Ohio Logistics 24th annual Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics. It is Madsens third World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature victory in the last 11 events and he became the seventh different driver to win in the last seven Outlaws races at the tight, quartermile track. It was pretty intense in the seat, he said. Ironically, I thought if we could get out of here with a top 10 Id be excited. To get a victory is awesome. Stevie Smith, who started on the pole by virtue of a dominating dash victory, rocketed to the early feature lead with Sam Hafertepe Jr. in tow. Madsen, who started on the outside of Smith, passed Hafertepe Jr. for the runner-up position around lap five and began to chase down Smith once the duo entered traffic. Smiths advantage of nearly half a straightaway was quickly erased and Madsen tried a slide job in turns three and four on lap 18. However, he didnt have enough speed and Smith maintained the lead. Two laps later, Hafertepe Jr. stopped on the frontstretch with a flat right rear tire while running fourth to bring out a caution a lap before the halfway point. Thats when things became a little hectic. They were really important and they were awfully hard to figure out tonight, Smith said of the restarts. It was a tough deal on the restarts. The bottom was still real good. The top was kinda further around and there were guys coming in the middle, so it got really interesting. The doublefile restarts made it an interesting race. Unfortunately, it gave Kerry an advantage. While Smith got through turns one and two with the lead, Madsen threw a big slider on Smith in turns three and four. Smith tried to turn underneath Madsen, who had just enough to hold onto the top spot as they raced down the frontstretch. Smith had a shot at redemption 10 laps later when Jac Haudenschild caused a caution by dramatically slowing in front of the Madsen-Smith battle on the backstretch. Madsen chose the inside lane on the double-file restart and narrowly edged Smith for the lead exiting turn two. While drivers throughout the field were sliding each other every lap, the battle up front continued to be replayed with restarts after Chad Kemenah flipped in turn four on lap 34. Once again, Madsen choose the inside lane and once again, he held off a side-by-side clash with Smith. He was pretty nice, Madsen said. If it was 2or 3-feet difference, I would have had to lift and couldnt clear him. It was as close at it got. The final caution was waved on that restart after David Gravel was called for leaving the outside lane too early. However, Madsen was able to avoid being slid and drove to the narrow win. I wasnt really being nice to him, Smith said after finishing second. I dont really have a good excuse; he just did a heck of a job. He won the race. Its his race. Its his night and were just going to be glad with second and move on to the next one. Gravel, who piloted from 13th to third in the first half of the race, rebounded from his late penalty to round out the podium - his sixth top five of the season. It was definitely good racing, he said. Its the best in sprint car racing. A lot of the guys you run with up front you can trust. That was a good showing tonight how clean everybody raced, especially up front. Greg Wilson picked up the KSE Hard Charger Award after driving from 17th to fourth and Donny Schatz finished fifth. Fast qualifier Craig Dollansky was sixth and Daryn Pittman seventh. Last Chance Showdown winner Sammy Swindell finished eighth, Steve Kinser placed ninth and Tim Shaffer powered from 22nd to 10th. Smith, Kinser, Hafertepe Jr. and Pittman each won a heat race; Lucas Wolfe claimed the C Main.

Crop technology helps limit corn losses in drought

By DAVID PITT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa For months, Illinois farmer David Kellerman held out hope for rain, even as the worst drought in nearly 25 years spread across the country. He finally gave up when the temperature hit 108 three days in a row. Corn wont develop kernels if it gets too warm during pollination, and Kellerman knew the empty cobs in his fields would never fill out. Just after the Fourth of July, he and the neighbor he farms with took an extraordinary step: They cut down the entire crop and baled the withered plants to use as hay for their cattle. Almost a third of the nations corn crop has been damaged by heat and drought, and a number of farmers in the hardest hit areas of the Midwest have cut down their crops just midway through the growing season. But the nation could still see one of the largest harvests in U.S. history, thanks to new plant varieties developed to produce more corn per acre and better resist drought. Kellerman said he was surprised his corn fared as well as it did, growing to a decent height even though there had been less than an inch of rain since mid-April. The dirt in the area where he farms near Du Bois, Ill., has the consistency of dust, but it wasnt until the extreme heat fried the plants, that he lost hope. Genetics are much better, he said. Corn five years ago would never have lasted this long. Corn production has been improving steadily for decades, the result of scientific advances going back to this year. That would still be an It is important improvement from a decade to point out that ago, when the average was about 129 bushels.

more bushels of corn per inch of water than those of 50 years ago. Working with genes that affect root and leaf development and plant reproduction, scientists also have created much more stable corn plants that can withstand a wider variety of climate conditions, he said. All these hybrids that have been produced in the last few years are built for drought tolerance so we have a little more hope that they will be able to withstand some of this heat, more so than they would have say 10 years ago, said Garry Niemeyer, who grows corn and soybeans in Auburn, Ill., and is president of the National Corn Growers Association. He said plants have been developed with a larger root mass, which allows them to reach deeper for water and hold more in reserve. Certain varieties also are capable of rolling up their leaves to slow moisture loss. Theres a lot of technology that goes into our corn crop, Niemeyer said. Still, its hard to say how the year will turn out with about half of the growing season to go. Corn plants today withstand drought better than they did in 1988, but no variety exists that can produce significant yields without rain for six weeks and sustained temperatures above 100 degrees, said Tony Vyn, an agronomy professor at Purdue University. You get to the point where the water shortage is so severe that technology is not going to guarantee yield, even when you might have that expectation, he said. My experience thus far is that droughttolerant hybrids are no silver bullet.

Every week, it seems, social scientists find another way in which we divide ourselves into groups. Theres the Generation Gap, the Gender Gap, the Education Gap, people who shop at the Gap and those who dont, omnivores and vegans, liberals and conservatives, book readers and Kindle readers, rock climbers and normal people, texters and grown-ups, gay and straight, rich and poor, black and white, boxer/briefs and a million other splits. The one that has been bothering me most recently is the gap between the people who read and respond to their email instantly and those who dont. Did you get that thing I sent you about that TV show? I asked my friend Barbara as we were waiting in line at the Stop and Go Away gas station. Oh, I didnt read my email yet this week, Barbara said. How can you not read your email for a week? I said a little louder than I had intended. Other people in the line with smartphones in their hands were staring at her as if shed said that clubbing baby seals was a good idea. They were probably tweeting our conversation. Or recording it on video, hoping wed say or do something so incredibly stupid that it would get 12 million hits in the next five minutes and get them a three-picture deal with some Hollywood movie company. But really, what kind of person doesnt check email at least every 10 seconds? What is wrong with her? Is she just anti-social, or a menace to society? What on earth could possibly be more important than reading her email? Her children? Her husband? Her parents in the nursing home? Where are her priorities? I, who took the time to send her an email, am the injured party here. I sent her a note yesterday asking if she would record a show for me on a premium channel that she gets but I dont because, well, why should we both pay? And then today I learn she hasnt even read it. What is wrong with her? What does she do all day long if not answer her email? Cook? Clean? Ive been to her house, its

The mail and email of the species

Jim Mullen

just as filthy as mine. Plus, she has a premium channel that she has time to watch while Im stuck with basic cable. I hope that someday my friend Barbara will start reading her email every day and not turn into the Technical Amish. Unlike the religious Amish, the Technical Amish can drive cars and use electricity and phones, but they draw the line at email, Facebook, texting and tweeting. Its all very quaint and soon, no doubt, tourists will start searching them out so they can show their children how people used to live. Oh look, Daddy, that ones putting a letter in a mailbox! Dont point, honey, its not polite. But thats how it was when I was a little boy. If you wanted to send someone a message ... A message like R U L8? Actually, no, I mean a long, written message about what youve been doing and what the people they know have been up to and ... Just then Dads cellphone will ring and hell read, Im bored. Can we go home now? Barbara asked me what I had emailed her about. I told her about recording the TV show. I couldnt have done it anyway, she said. Im down to basic cable. Why should I pay for 600 channels I never watch? Its like going to the grocery store and paying for a bunch of food I dont like and will never eat. Thats crazy. I dont have time for it anyway. I spend most of my time on Skype with my grandkids. (Jim Mullens newest book, How to Lose Money in Your Spare Time -At Home, is available at amazon. com.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
FRIDAY, JULY 13, 2012 Once you get a strong desire for something that you know wont drop in your lap, your entrepreneurial instincts will be substantially heightened. It could be one of the best things that ever happened to you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Should your path cross either deliberately or unintentionally with those in high places, youll be treated with respect by those who are in positions to help you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When confronted with some challenging developments, your stronger qualities are likely to emerge and will handle things well. Youll be tough to beat once the will to win is awakened within you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Your observations and comments will carry much more weight with your peers than usual. This is because your answers will benefit an entire group rather than any one individual. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Even though your imagination might go overboard at times and make you fearful, should you actually be confronted with a crisis, youll be remarkably courageous and wise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Finally some balance and order is likely to be restored in a situation that has been a bit unsettling lately. Everyone involved will be anxious to improve things and make good things happen.

Youll be glad you put forth the extra effort. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your mate or special someone will be most appreciative if you give his or her concerns the same priority that you give your own. You dont have to do more; just dont do less. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Although youll be rather fortunate in terms of the rewards you derive from your labor, you need self-gratification as well as material gain. Make sure you do a good job. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Material objectives can be achieved through what you do for others. Youll be luckier working on behalf of family and cohorts than you will be striving solely for your own desires. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Normally, its wise to leave your credit cards at home when you go window-shopping, but today you could stumble upon a rare item that youve been wanting for a long time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Youre likely to be quick on your feet and able to express yourself in eloquent terms. If you have any verbal presentations you need to make, now is the time to do so. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your financial pattern could at last turn the corner and make a huge improvement. Those bright rays of hope will break through even the most difficult of obstacles.

Report: Penn St. officials concealed abuse

The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and other senior Penn State officials concealed critical facts about Jerry Sanduskys child abuse because they were worried about bad publicity, according to an internal investigation into the scandal. The 267-page report released today is the result of an eight-month inquiry by former FBI director Louis Freeh, hired by university trustees weeks after Sandusky was arrested in November to look into what has become one of sports biggest scandals. The report concluded that Paterno, president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade. In order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the university Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sanduskys child abuse, the report said. Sexual abuse might have been prevented if university officials had banned him from bringing children onto campus after a 1998 inquiry, the report said. Despite their knowledge of the police probe into Sandusky showering with a boy in a football locker room, Spanier, Paterno, Curley and Schultz took no action to limit his access to campus, the report said. The May 1998 complaint by a woman whose son came home with wet hair after showering with Sandusky didnt result in charges at the time. The report says Schultz was worried the matter could be opening Pandoras box. Officials later did bar him from bringing children to campus. Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 criminal counts. The scandal led to the ousting of Paterno and the schools president. Trustee Anthony Lubrano, a critic of the boards dismissal of Paterno in November, said the board was still formulating a response. The report also singled out the revered Penn State football program one built on the motto success with honor for criticism. It says Paterno and university leaders allowed Sandusky to retire in 1999, not as a suspected child predator, but as a valued member of the Penn State football legacy, with future visibility at Penn State, allowing him to groom victims. Sanduskys trial last month included gutwrenching testimony from eight young men who said he abused them as boys, sometimes on campus, and included testimony that showed he used his prestige as a university celebrity to manipulate the children. By contrast, Freehs team focused on Penn State and what its employees did or did not do to protect children. More than 430 current or former school employees were interviewed since November, including nearly everyone associated with the football program under Paterno. The Hall of Fame coach died of lung cancer in January at age 85, without telling Freehs team his account of what happened. With the report now complete, the NCAA said Penn State now must address four key questions concerning institutional control and ethics policies, as outlined in a letter sent to the school last fall. Penn States response to the letter will inform our next steps, including whether or not to take further action, said Bob Williams, the NCAAs vice president of communications. We expect Penn States continued cooperation in our examination of these issues. The U.S. Department of Education is examining whether the school violated the Clery Act, which requires reporting of certain crimes on campus, including ones of a sexual

Jacksons mood disorder raising more questions? Judge keeps Mississippi

By SOPHIA TAREEN Associated Press CHICAGO U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.s disclosure that he is suffering from a mood disorder still leaves many questions about his secretive medical leave and whether the Illinois congressman has satisfied mounting calls to be more open about his monthlong absence. Just hours after Democratic leaders in Congress ratcheted up pressure on Jackson to reveal more information, his office released a brief statement from his doctor on Wednesday saying the Chicago Democrat was receiving intensive medical treatment at a residential treatment facility for a mood disorder. But it offered no details about Jacksons whereabouts or even the name of the doctor, citing federal privacy laws. Several experts said that based on the doctors use of the term mood disorder, they believed Jackson might be suffering from depression. But the statement did not elaborate on his condition and rejected claims that the 47-year-old congressman was being treated for alcohol or substance abuse. He is responding positively to treatment and is expected to make a full recovery, the statement said. His spokesman declined to elaborate. When Jacksons medical leave was first announced two weeks after it began on June 10 his office said he was being treated for exhaustion. Last week his staff said his condition was worse than previously thought and required inpatient treatment, saying Jackson had been privately battling emotional problems. The office has remained mum on details. The timing of the leave has invited scrutiny, coming as Jackson faces an ethics investigation in the U.S. House connected to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Days before Jacksons office announced his leave, a fundraiser and family friend also involved in the probe was arrested and charged with unrelated medical fraud charges. The Associated Press on Wednesday interviewed several physicians who didnt have firsthand knowledge of Jacksons condition but said the term mood disorder typically refers to depression or bipolar disorder, which used to be known as manic depression. Dr. Daniel Yohanna, vice chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Chicago, said depression is more common and affects about 5 percent of men at some point in their lives. Symptoms can range from sleep disturbance and appetite problems to hopelessness and thoughts of suicide, though cure rates are very high, he said. It could come out of nowhere, it runs in families, you could have a genetic predisposition, or it can come after a difficulty in your life, Yohanna said. Once it gets rolling its hard to stop it on your own. Ian Gotlib, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, said depression is generally treated on an outpatient basis. But he said that if doctors were concerned about the safety of the patient or if the disorder were severe enough, they could recommend inpatient treatment. The good news is that its clearly treatable, Gotlib said, adding that counseling and prescription drugs would be likely for inpatient treatment and that it could take weeks. Its unclear whether Wednesdays statement would temper the mounting demands for full disclosure of the congressmans ailment. Before Jacksons statement was released, Democratic leaders in the U.S. House joined Jacksons colleagues and constituents in urging the congressman to provide a public update about his condition. House Leader Nancy Pelosi, when asked about Jackson, said she hoped he would have the appropriate evaluation so he can share that information. Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the U.S. House, said Wednesday that Jackson wasnt in an unusual circumstance. By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

nature. The report said Penn States awareness and interest in Clery Act compliance was significantly lacking. Only one form used to report such crimes was completed on campus from 2007 through 2011, according to the Freeh findings. And no record exists of Paterno, Curley or assistant coach Mike McQueary reporting that McQueary saw Sandusky in a shower with a boy in 2001, as they would be obligated to do under the Clery Act. As of last November, Penn States policies for Clery compliance were still in draft form and had not been implemented, the report found. U.S. Department of Education said it was still examining whether Penn State violated the Clery Act, but declined to comment on Freehs report. Mary Krupa, an 18-year-old Penn State freshman who grew up in State College, said the conclusion that the schools highest officials were derelict in protecting children didnt shake her love of the town or the school. The actions of five or six people dont reflect on the hundreds of thousands of students and faculty who make up the Penn State community, she said while walking through the student union building on campus.

JACKSON, Miss. A federal judge on Wednesday continued to block a state law that threatens to shut down Mississippis only abortion clinic and make it nearly impossible for women to get the procedure in the state. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III temporarily blocked the law July 1 and extended that order Wednesday, though he did not say when he would rule on the clinics request for a preliminary injunction that would put the law on hold for a longer period. If he grants that request, the case eventually would go to trial. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states cant place undue burdens on, or substantial obstacles to, women seeking abortions. The Mississippi law would require anyone performing clinic abortions to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. The doctors at the clinic in Jackson do not have those privileges, which the clinic maintains arent necessary. Supporters of the law passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature this year said its designed to protect patients, and Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said he hopes it will help make Mississippi abortion-free. The clinic, Jackson Womens Health Organization, said it has been unable to obtain admitting privileges for its two outof-state OB-GYNs because local hospitals have not responded to their requests. Theyre out to close us down, the clinics owner, Diane Derzis, said of state officials. Admitting privileges can be difficult to get because hospitals might not grant them to out-of-state physicians, or hospitals with religious affiliations might not give them to doctors who perform abortions. When clinic employees called a Catholic hospital to ask about applying for privileges, Derzis said, we were told not to bother. The clinic said it would face irreparable harm if the law were to be enforced because hospitals havent said when or if theyll consider the privileges. If theyre denied or if the hospitals are dragging their feet, thats going to be more clear evidence that theres a substantial obstacle to an abortion, clinic attorney Robert McDuff said.

NEW YORK Bob Dylan and historians at PBS are in a dispute over the whereabouts of an electric guitar that the singer plugged in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, quite possibly the most historic single instrument in rock n roll. The New Jersey daughter of a pilot who flew Dylan to appearances in the 1960s says she has the guitar, which has spent much of the past 47 years in a family attic. But a lawyer for Dylan claims the singer still has the Fender Stratocaster with the sunburst design that he used during one of the most memorable performances of his career. If the authentic Dylan goes electric guitar ever went on the open marketplace, experts say it could fetch as much as a half million dollars. The guitar is the centerpiece of next Tuesdays season premiere of PBS History Detectives, and the show said late Wednesday it stood by its conclusion that Dawn Peterson, the pilots daughter who works as a customer relations manager for an energy company, has the right instrument. On July 25, 1965, that guitar was more an object of derision than desire. With his acoustic songs of social protest, a young Bob Dylan was a hero to folk music fans in the early 1960s and the Newport festival was their Mecca. Bringing an electric guitar and band with him onstage to launch into Maggies Farm was more than an artistic change, it was a provocative act. Most folk purists disdained rock n roll. What happened next is a little foggy. Did an enraged Pete Seeger really try to cut Dylans electric power? Was the crowd upset about the noise, or by Dylan leaving the stage after only three songs? Was it even upset at all? He later returned for a couple of acoustic songs. Either way, Dylan never looked back.
