 Preparing festival chicken

Nancy Spencer photos

Most people who enjoy an Immaculate Conception Parish Festivalmeal probably don’t realize the work that goes into preparing theoffering.

The day starts at 5 a.m. for many volunteers, including the friedchicken crew. They say the early bird gets the worm but these guysknow the early birds get to work in cooler temperatures.

“It a lot cooler to fry chicken at the early morning,” Steve Beiningsaid. “We’re done and on to the next job before it gets too hotoutside.”

Carl Beining has been on chicken detail for at least 25 years andsaid he enjoys helping with the festival.

“This is a great community event,” he said. “Everyone pitches in tomake it successful.”

Also on the crew are Mike Grote, Neil Beining and Terry Eickholt.Another group comes in at 8 a.m. to help with cleanup.

Festival dinner coordinator DeeDee Schlagbaum said the guys fried1,640 pieces of chicken Sunday morning and others prepared 620pounds of beef, 125 pounds of noodles, 50 pounds of cole slaw andmore for the 1,800 meals served.

Idaho farm hosts ‘weeddating’ for singles

By JESSIE L. BONNERThe Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — For onenight a year, a neighborhoodfarm in northwest Boise turnsinto a respite for singles whoare tired of the same old dat-ing scene.

A poster board plantedat the entrance of EarthlyDelights Farm in late June

advertised “Weed Dating,”with a heart-stamped arrowguiding visitors to a sign-intable, where they were eachassigned a number and invit-ed to sample beer provided bya local brewer.

The farm is among a hand-ful across the country offer-ing an unconventional formof speed dating. Typically,speed daters meet at a bar orrestaurant and switch conver-sational partners every fewminutes, in hopes of findingsomeone compatible. Withweed dating, this rapid-firecourtship takes place on thefarm, with singles workingtogether in the fields.

The payoff for their toil? Achance at romance.

Joe Peraino, 27, met hisprevious girlfriend whileweed dating at the Boise farmlast year. They were togetherfor nine months and foundthat few others couples couldtop their account of howthey met, said Peraino, whohas since relocated to SouthCarolina.

“It’s a pretty fun story,because it’s not like a knownthing, weed dating. A lot of 

people are like, ‘So, were youon a pot farm’?”

Casey O’Leary, 33, ownsthe Earthly Delights Farm andfirst heard of the idea from afarm in Vermont. Farms instates that include Michigan,Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohiohave also advertised similarweed dating events. O’Learyorganized her first weed dat-ing last year for about 20 peo-

ple, including some friendsand interns on her farm.More than 40 men and

women showed up for thisyear’s weed dating.

“I feel bad if we don’thave the right people for theright people,” O’Leary saidbefore addressing the crowd.“We’re all weirdos, in gen-eral, people, we’re all weir-dos right? So like, it’s just amatter of if the right weirdosshow up.”

In her role as matchmaker,O’Leary shook a small tam-bourine to catch everyone’sattention and reassured thosewho had already started toeye each other that every-body would be paired up witheverybody over the course of the evening.

With ages ranging fromearly 20s to early 50s, O’Learyalso provided a small dis-claimer.

“Obviously, there are somematches that probably are notappropriate, age-wise, andthat’s OK,” she said. “We’reall adults, so just have a goodtime.”

Here’s how it works: Eachof the ladies will be assignedto a specific row, with moreinstructions to follow after “weget you into the beds,” O’Learysaid, prompting nervous snick-ers that erupted into laughter asthe tension eased. The womenwere given a crash course inhow to identify a weed versusa vegetable or fruit, and theninstructed to pass that informa-tion along to the men, whorotated from each bed everythree minutes.

“Please don’t pull out ourcrops. This is a working farm,”O’Leary said before sendingthem off.

With the dating in full swing,O’Leary moved between theneat rows of lettuce, strawber-ries, eggplant, zucchini andtomatoes. She said she likesthe idea of helping gardenersand people with similar inter-ests find each other. But seeingpeople weed her farm is alsonice.

“I’m not a hookup coach,I’m a farmer,” O’Leary said, hersinewy hands and dirt-incrustedfingernails proving her point.

Amy Johnson, 29, a Spanish

elementary school teacher,heard about the event last yearbut couldn’t make it.

“It’s one of those life experi-ences that I might not alwaysbe able to get so why not takeadvantage of it this year?”Johnson said. “I’m not muchinto dating, like speed datingor like, online dating. But it’salways fun to meet new peo-ple.”

Weeding is actually one herfavorite activities, she said, add-ing: “Last year I was jokingthat if I would have weededwith my ex-boyfriend, we prob-ably would have never gottentogether ... He was not a verygood weeder.”

Brian Cox, a 47-year-old art-ist and musician, came lookingfor a new way to meet people.

“The typical speed dating,it’s just kind of awkward,” Coxsaid. “But this is just beautiful,because it’s like outside, it’svery organic. Literally.”

Joe DeGano, 46, a sales andmarketing manager for a com-pany that manufactures clutchcomponents for motorcycles,said he was there “to meetchicks, to fall in love.”

But for the more-reserved,the farm provided numberedmason jars that correspondedwith the numbers assigned toeach participant, just in caseany of the weed daters weretoo shy to approach someonedirectly and wanted to insteadleave a note.

That was how Peraino, anintern at the farm last year,communicated with a womannamed Jenn at last year’sevent.

He described himself assomewhat shy, but at weed dat-ing he found himself surroundedby people with similar interests.There were activists, gardeners,and outdoor enthusiasts.

At 3:15 p.m. on Sunday,Delphos Police were contact-ed by a business in the 1100block of Elida Avenue in ref-erence to a theft that had justoccurred at the business.

The business owner wasable to provide officers a vehi-cle description and direction of travel of the subject involved.Officers were able to catch thesubject a short distance outsideof the city limits and identifythem. Reports indicate Shay

Ringwald, 23, of Rockfordand Jessica Beveridge, 24, of Rockford will be charged withtheft of gasoline and chargedinto Lima Municipal Court onthe offense.

At 9:51 a.m. on Saturday,Delphos Police were con-tacted by a resident of the1200 block of Park Avenuein reference to a theft com-plaint.

Upon speaking with thevictim, it was found thatsometime in the overnighthours, someone gained entryinto the victim’s vehicle andhad taken a small amountof money and a pair of bin-oculars.

Russia accuses West of blackmail on Syria plans

By JIM HEINTZThe Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russiatoday accused the West of effectively trying to useblackmail to secure a newU.N. Security Council reso-lution that could allow forthe use of force in Syria.

The Security Council isdebating a new resolution onSyria as international envoyKofi Annan’s plan for halt-ing the fighting appears deadand the violence in Syriaescalates. Russian ForeignMinister Sergey Lavrov wasmeeting Annan later today,with his country facingintense criticism that it isstanding in the way of an

end to the conflict.Russia has adamantlyopposed international mili-tary intervention in Syria.Such a step has been allbut ruled out publicly byWestern nations, but the textfor a Western-backed reso-lution circulated by Britainthat calls for sanctions wouldleave the possibility open formilitary enforcement underthe U.N. Charter’s Chapter7. Russia has submitted arival text.

The debate comes as amandate for a U.N. observer

force expires on July 20,and Lavrov insisted that theWest was using the deadline

as a bargaining chip.“To our great regret,there are elements of black-mail,” Lavrov said at a newsconference. “We are beingtold that if you do not agreeto passing the resolutionunder Chapter 7 of the U.N.Charter, then we shall refuseto extend the mandate of themonitoring mission.”

“We consider it to be anabsolutely counterproduc-tive and dangerous approach,since it is unacceptable touse monitors as bargainingchips,” he said.

The British draft threat-ens non-military sanctions

against President BasharAssad’s government if itdoesn’t withdraw troopsand heavy weapons frompopulation centers within 10days.

Throughout the 16-monthSyrian crisis, in which activ-ists say some 17,000 peoplehave been killed in fight-ing between Assad’s forc-es and opposition group-ings, Russia has adamantlyopposed international mili-tary intervention, fearing arepeat of the type of inter-national action that helped

drive Libya’s MoammarGadhafi out of power.

Russia says it does not

overtly support Assad,Russia’s longtime ally, andby strongly backing Annan’splan. It maintains any changeof power in Syria must beachieved through negotia-tion, but the Syrian opposi-tion has repeatedly said nonegotiations with the Assadregime are possible unlesshe first leaves power.

Lavrov reiteratedMoscow’s position today,saying it was unrealistic totry to persuade Assad toresign.

“He won’t leave, notbecause we are defendinghim, but simply because a

very significant part of thepopulation in Syria standsbehind him,” he said.

Comments by Annan lastweek indicated he favors theBritish resolution draft andit was unclear if he wouldhave any significant lever-age to exert on Russia duringhis two-day trip to Moscow,which also includes a meet-ing with President VladimirPutin on Tuesday.

Lavrov said he would notcharacterize the situation asa stalemate, but expresseddismay with the continuingfighting.

“What is happening inSyria is horrible,” he said.

June 25, 2012MESSAGE TOTHE WORLD

By CHARLESBABINGTON

Associated Press

WASHINGTON —President Barack Obama ispreparing to tell Ohio vot-ers that Republican MittRomney’s tax proposals

would spur job growth inforeign countries includingChina.

The president also plans tohighlight his administration’s2009 bailout of the auto indus-try, which saved thousands of  jobs in Ohio, according toDemocrats. Romney opposedObama’s use of massive fed-eral loans to keep Chryslerand General Motors afloatwhile they reorganized underbankruptcy protection.

Obama is holding a townhall event in Cincinnati, oneof the state’s most heavilyRepublican areas. Ohio andFlorida again are shaping up

as the most intensely com-petitive states in the presiden-tial race.

White House aides saidObama will cite news reportssuggesting that Romney’splans for limited taxing of overseas profits by U.S.companies would encourageforeign job growth. The twocandidates have repeatedlyaccused each other of out-sourcing American jobs.

The White House saidObama will renew his callfor extending the Bush-era tax cuts on all house-holds except those earningmore than $250,000 a year.

Romney says the wealthiest

Americans also should keeptheir tax breaks because theyare the most likely people tocreate jobs.

Ohio’s Republican gov-ernor, John Kasich, oftennotes that his state’s unem-ployment rate is lower thanthe national average. That

has proved awkward at timesfor Romney, who assailsObama’s stewardship of thenational economy.

Kasich and otherRepublicans say the state’sunemployment rate hasdropped steadily in spite of Obama’s economic policies,not because of them.

Obama, in an interviewon CBS, was asked about thelarge number of negative adsthat have been run againstRomney by his campaign inrecent weeks.

“If you look at the ads thatwe do,” Obama replied, “firstof all, we’ve done a whole

slew of positive ads that talkexactly about how we needto change our education sys-tem, how we need to changeour tax code, how we needto rebuild America, how weneed to promote Americanenergy.”

“So those just don’t getattention in the news,” headded. “But we are very muchpromoting.”

The president said, “I’vegot a very different approach”from Romney. “And the more detailed we get into whathe’s saying and what I’m say-

ing, I think that serves the

democratic process well.”

TOLEDO (AP) — Long-lost files uncovered when astorage trailer was unloadedunveiled years of secret sur-

veillance by an Ohio policedepartment on anti-war activ-ists, organizations and others.

Ken Dickson, author of sev-eral books about Toledo areahistory, had asked to accessthe files for his research onorganized crime and eventu-ally took his request to court.

No one could locate thefiles and Kenneth Deck,founder of the police muse-um and the only person whoknew the contents of the stor-age site, had died. The intel-ligence documents did notresurface until 2010, when thenew Toledo Police Museumopened and museum volun-

teers unpacked the trailer.The documents detail thepolice intelligence unit’s sur-veillance work from 1967to 1973, according to TheBlade.

Organized crime andillegal gambling were theunit’s main priorities, but italso gathered information onorganizations spanning thepolitical spectrum, from theKKK and White Panthers tothe Students for a DemocraticSociety, the National SocialistParty, and Black Panthers.

“We would surveil themwhen they came into town.We’d identify who they were,who their leaders were, who

they were meeting with, whothey were recruiting,” said

Gene Fodor, a detective whoworked with the intelligenceunit from 1965 until it wasdissolved in 1977.

He recalled one of theunit’s tactics to infiltrate andwin the trust of the groups itmonitored.

Along with several otherofficers, Fodor would attendan organization’s meeting andwait for speakers to denouncelaw enforcement, as theyoften did. Then, with a burstof apparent outrage, he wouldrise and point out his fel-low undercover officers. Thegroups would kick out thoseofficers and welcome Fodorinto their ranks, unaware thathe too was a part of the systemthey opposed.

According to the docu-ments, some of the individuals

monitored were in high school,professors at the University of 

Toledo, ministers, and busi-nessmen.

Many of the reports includepersonal information such as

dates of birth, Social Securitynumbers, hair and eye color,height and weight, addresses,employment status, typicalclothing style, and romanticrelations.

The archives of the intel-ligence unit were housed inthe original Toledo PoliceHistoric Museum, but when itclosed in 1994, retired policeOfficer Bill Kellar stored thefiles in the back of a semi-trailer parked.

Sgt. Joe Heffernan, currentToledo police spokesman, wasunaware of the intelligenceunit’s surveillance of politicalactivities and the existence of 

the unit’s files. He declined tocomment on the intelligencedocuments specifically butsaid the department only col-lects information on criminalorganizations and activities.

A member of one of thegroups under surveillance,David Reaven, then a fresh-man at the University of Toledo, said he was unawareof police surveillance of hisSDS activities, but the intelli-gence unit had its eye on him.

Reports on meetings regu-larly note his attendance, andon two grainy, black-and-white photographs, his nameis written in stark red penciland underlined, with an arrowpointing to a clean cut andbespectacled young man.

Uncovered fles detailOhio police surveillance

FREMONT (AP) — U.S.and Canadian agencies haveteamed up to search for theremains of a northwest Ohiopilot who was killed 70 yearsago with four others whentheir plane capsized in theGulf of St. Lawrence near aremote Canadian village.

Joint Prisoners of War/Missing in Action AccountingCommand , a federal agencythat works to recover mem-bers of the military who are

missing in action, began anoperation Thursday withParks Canada to search theamphibious plane’s wreck-age, The News-Messenger inFremont reported.

The agencies are search-ing for the bodies of Fremontnative Jack Zimmerman andfour others aboard the craft,said Marc-Andre Bernier,chief of Parks Canada’sUnderwater ArchaeologicalService.

Zimmerman, a lieutenantcolonel in the U.S. ArmyAir Corps, also was a pio-neer in the commercial avia-tion industry. He flew thefirst scheduled flight intoLaGuardia Airport the dayit opened in New York City,earned the nickname “Million

Miler” and flew militarymissions in Northern Europeduring World War II, accord-ing to Rutherford B. HayesPresidential Center records.

Zimmerman had flownmilitary officials to a U.S.military base at the village of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan inQuebec so they could assessconstruction on an airfield.The Allies needed the airportas part of a route used to sendtroops, supplies and aircraft

to Northern Europe, Berniersaid. Snow was falling whenthe two-engine Catalinadeveloped a leak after twofailed takeoffs and sank intothe gulf.

Divers and others fromthe agencies plan to spend amonth diving on the plane’swreckage and hope torecover bodies and any per-sonal items that might havebelonged to Zimmerman andthe crew, Bernier said.

Any remains that arefound would be identifiedand returned to the familiesat some point, along withany personal items, said U.S.Army Capt. Russell Grigsbyof JPAC.

The village had about 200residents then, and about 10

village residents who saw theplane crash are still alive.

“They remember the acci-dent very clearly,” Berniersaid. “To see the Americanscome to recover their own isquite touching.”

The plane, which is lyingon its wing and partially bur-ied in sand, is not expected tobe moved.

Parks Canada discoveredthe plane’s wreckage in 2009while in the area looking for

shipwrecks.

“We would surveilthem when they

came into town.We’d identify whothey were, who their

leaders were,who they weremeeting with,who they were

recruiting,”

with the intelligence unit.

Moderately confused

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point

of View 

By ANDREW TAYLORAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Yes, if Mitt Romney wins the WhiteHouse and his Republicanallies retake the Senate, hecould shred most of PresidentBarack Obama’s health carelaw without having to over-power a Democratic filibus-ter.

But it won’t be as easyas some Republicans por-tend, and it certainly won’tbe quick.

Why?Because any realistic effort

to repeal the Affordable Care

Act — as opposed to lastweek’s quixotic vote in theGOP-controlled House — issure to get jumbled togeth-er with lots of other issues,including Medicare, taxes,food stamps and defensespending.

And that’s becauseRepublicans have to firstpass a budget. It’s the onlyway than can invoke specialSenate rules that allow legis-lation to pass with just a sim-ple majority vote — insteadof the 60 votes needed in the100-member Senate to beat afilibuster.

Passing a budget requires

answering a raft of ques-tions unrelated to the rela-tively simple idea of repeal-ing “Obamacare.” How muchto cut the deficit? ShouldMedicare be overhauled andMedicaid bear sharp cuts? Isit realistic to sharply boostdefense programs, as Romneywould like, in such an atmo-

sphere?The first step is to pass abudget resolution — a non-binding, broad-brush outlineof budget goals like cuttingor increasing taxes, or slow-ing increases in Medicare.A budget resolution sets theterms for follow-up legisla-tion that’s called a recon-ciliation bill in Washingtonargot.

Two years ago, Democratsused a reconciliation bill toenact the health care law witha 56-43, party-line vote in theSenate.

Republicans have a prob-lem in that there’s a lot more

on their agenda than justrepealing the health care law,and it’s all going to have tobe crammed into a budgetresolution and follow-up rec-onciliation bill, too.

“They’re going to wantto use that budget reso-lution to set up a tax bill,they’re going to want to doother deficit reduction,” saidHazen Marshall, a GOP lob-byist and the Senate BudgetCommittee’s top aide in 2001and 2003 when reconciliationbills were used to push formerPresident George W. Bush’stax cuts through Congress.

“So I would think it’s just

going to take some time toget everybody on the samepage as to what the budgetresolution’s going to looklike,” Marshall said.

In 2001, when Republicansset about the relatively simpletask of cutting taxes in anera of unprecedented budgetsurpluses, it took them until

Memorial Day to pass thelegislation.What Republicans would

confront next year is far moredifficult — wrenching cuts toprograms popular with vot-ers. A more apt comparisonmight be the GOP’s budgetefforts of 1995, when it tookthe party until November tocomplete action on its budgetplan.

“It’s not that it’s not doable.It absolutely is doable,” saida senior House GOP budgetaide . “It’s just going to takea lot longer than everybodywants it to. And people aren’tanticipating the pain of each

step to get to that point.” Theaide spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’tauthorized to speak on therecord.

Republicans currently hold47 Senate seats. If they takecontrol of the Senate, it’s notlikely to be by more than 1 to4 votes, well short of 60. Thatwould put lots of leveragein the hands of Senate GOPmoderates like Susan Collinsof Maine and Scott Brown of 

Massachusetts, should he win

his difficult re-election bid.

Both Collins and Brown

cast votes earlier this year

against the House GOP bud-

get plan, authored by Rep.Paul Ryan, R-Wis. At thecenter of Ryan’s plan wascontroversial overhaul of Medicare that would trans-form it into a voucher-likeprogram for those who retirein 10 years.

WASHINGTON — We’restill a few weeks from sum-mer’s dog days and the con-ventions, and already feralrabidity has set in. Add tothe long list of psycho-polit-ical syndromes the “RomneyDerangement Syndrome.”

There is simply no otherway to explain what hastranspired in the few days

since Mitt Romney’s speechto the NAACP. If you reada headline or watched thenews, most likely you’reaware that Romney wasbooed for saying he wouldrepeal “Obamacare.” Whatyou may not know is thatRomney also left the stage toa standing ovation.

Suppose you were an edi-tor, which headline wouldyou prefer:

“NAACP boos Romneyduring speech aboutObamacare”

“NAACP conventiongives Romney a standing O”

Hmmmmm.

In the aftermath, conserva-tive talk shows and bloggershave made haste to clarify theevent, but not before severalon the other side of the aislehad made some stupendouslystrange remarks.

It is true that Romneywas booed at the mention of “Obamacare” and his inten-tion to repeal the AffordableCare Act as one of severalprograms that he says aretoo costly in these dear eco-nomic times. Was Romneysurprised at the response? Of 

course not. The vast majorityof African-Americans sup-port the nation’s first African-American president and mostare favorably inclined towardhis signature health care act.

While grudgingly givingRomney credit for showingup, commentators and politi-cos on the left have joinedthe birthers in being just plain

weird. The narrative du jouris that Romney purposelyused the term “Obamacare”to ensure that he was booedin order to ... incite his racistwhite base.

 Exacto-rama, Robin! Howcould I have missed this bril-liant maneuver!?

Among those advancingthis, ahem, “theory” is NancyPelosi, who said it was a “cal-culated move.” MSNBC’sLawrence O’Donnell saidRomney was making a playfor white racists. Over atThe Daily Beast, MichaelTomasky called Romney a“race-mongering pyromani-

ac,” and wrote:“You don’t go into theNAACP and use the word“Obamacare” and think thatyou’re not going to hear someboos. It’s a heavily loadedword, and Romney and hispeople know very well thatliberals and the president’ssupporters consider it aninsult. ... Romney and teamobviously concluded that alittle shower of boos was per-fectly fine because the story‘Romney Booed at NAACP’would jazz up their (very

white) base.”Yes, I see. That’s a very

astute analysis, Mr. Tomasky. Now just keep your eyesclosed and try to relax. When I snap my fingers, you’llwake up and remember noth-ing. You’ll just feel calm and optimistic about the future.

The notion that TeamRomney wanted to jazz upall those “very white” rac-ists requires a level of delu-sion that one usually associ-ates with the fringies. Doesanyone really imagine thatRomney is worried about theracist vote? While we’re hear-ing voices, let’s eavesdrop ona Very Secret Meeting:

“Mitt, you know, there’s

one demographic we’re wor-ried about.“What’s that, Stu?”“Well, sir, the Aryan

Nation. Their votes? Hangingfrom the precipice, sir. Wehave to reel them in.”

“Holy moly, Stu, buthow?

“I have a plan. When youspeak to the NAACP nextweek, we’re gonna have yousay ‘Obamacare.’ You’llget booed, of course, but noAryan will vote for BarackObama, I can promise you

that, sir.”“Jumpin’ Jehosaphat,

Stu, that’s sheer genius! Butwon’t the liberal media figureit out? Won’t they see ourplan?”

“With all due respect, sir,don’t be ridiculous.”

Is anyone tethered to Earthanymore? Romney said hewould repeal Obamacare

because he always says this.What would the word parsershave said if he had adjustedhis message to be more palat-able to a crowd from whichno one expected more thanbasic civility? They wouldhave said he was a deceiver,a shape-shifter, a manipulatorand a dishonest broker.

As for the term“Obamacare,” this is widelyused, including by columnistswho are strictly limited byword count. I’ll never usefour unwieldy words thatmost people don’t recognize,such as “The AffordableCare Act,” for one wordthat everybody understands:

Obamacare.It has a ring to it that

means nothing beyondwhat it is — short, memo-rable and to the point, sortof like “Romneycare,” whichDemocrats use frequently.What sort of dogs are theywhistling to, one wonders?Trying to stoke the rage of allthose “very black” or “veryLatino” Mormon haters?

Trolling for boos

Killing health carereform won’t be easy

By JACK GILLUMand JULIE PACEAssociated Press

WASHINGTON —Documents filed by Mitt

Romney’s former companyconflict with the Republicanpresidential candidate’s state-ments about when he gave upcontrol of the private equityfirm Bain Capital. PresidentBarack Obama’s campaignseized on the discrepan-cies Thursday to charge thatRomney was lying about hisbackground.

Romney, in turn, saidObama was the one beingdishonest, rolling out ahard-hitting television adthat accused the presidentof launching “misleading,unfair and untrue” attacksabout the Republican’s rolein outsourcing U.S. jobs.

“When a president doesn’ttell the truth, how can wetrust him to lead?” the nar-rator says in the Romney ad

titled “No Evidence.”Obama has accused

Romney of being an “out-sourcing pioneer” whoinvested in companies thatshipped jobs to China, India

and elsewhere overseas. ButRomney, who has made hisbusiness experience the cen-tral part of his candidacy,claims he had no role in out-sourcing U.S. jobs becausemuch of that activity didn’thappen until after 1999, whenhe says he had given up oper-ational control at Bain.

Both candidates dug in ontheir positions, dispatchingaides to level deeply personalcriticisms aimed at castingeach opponent as little morethan a typical politician. Eachcandidate is seeking to sullyhis rival’s integrity in hopesof gaining ground in close-ly contested campaign fourmonths before Election Day.But the strategy carries risks:It could alienate voters —especially critical indepen-

dents — who are turned off by negative campaigning andwant to see the candidatesfocus on the economy and job growth.

At issue is when Romney

left Bain, and whether he wasat the helm when it sent jobsoverseas.

The documents, filedwith the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission, placeRomney in charge of Bainfrom 1999 to 2001, a periodin which the company out-sourced jobs and ran compa-nies that fell into bankruptcy.Romney has tried to distancehimself from this period inBain’s history, saying onfinancial disclosure forms hehad no active role in Bain asof February 1999. Obama haslabeled Romney a job killerin hopes of undercutting theRepublican’s claim that hisprivate business experiencegives him the ability to turnaround the struggling econ-omy.

Documents conict on when Romney left Bain

BALTIMORE (AP) — Adoctor who ran against MittRomney for Massachusettsgovernor a decade ago wonthe chance to challenge himagain on Saturday, this time asthe Green Party’s presidentialnominee.

Jill Stein, an internist fromLexington, Mass., blastedboth Romney and PresidentBarack Obama, saying bothhad become too dependent on

donations from corporationsin order to acquire office atthe expense of the nation’scitizens.

“We need real public ser-vants who listen to the people— not to the corporate lobbyiststhat funnel campaign checksinto the big war chests,” Steintold applauding supporters ata Holiday Inn in Baltimore.“That’s what brought me to theGreen Party, the only nationalparty that is not bought andpaid for by corporate money.”

Stein acknowledges that hercandidacy is a super long shot.Still, she notes that a growingnumber of people are express-ing frustration with the two

major political parties and shecites the Occupy Wall Streetmovement as an example of that.

“We are in it to win it,but we’re also in it to buildit, and those are both wins inmy book,” Stein, 62, said inan interview before her accep-tance speech at the conven-tion.

Stein won 193.5 delegates,compared to 72 for comedianRoseanne Barr, who did notattend.

Stein hopes the party willqualify in at least 40 states, butthe total now stands at 21 anddoes not include state host-

ing the convention. Stein alsonotes that the Green Party hasqualified for federal matchingfunds for the first time in its11-year history.

The Associated PressLAKE ORION, Mich. — Roger

Chapman shot a 4-under 66 on Sunday

to win the U.S. Senior Open by twostrokes at 10 under at Indianwood. Hewon the Senior PGA Championship bythe same margin two months ago on theother side of Michigan.

The self-described former EuropeanTour journeyman, Jack Nicklaus, GaryPlayer and Hale Irwin and Irwin arethe only players to win the U.S. SeniorOpen and Senior PGA Championship inthe same year.

Before this year, his career high-light was a European Tour win in Brazilin 2000.

Bernhard Langer (72), Fred Funk(67), Tom Lehman (68) and CoreyPavin (68) finished tied for second at8-under 272 at the Champions Tour’sfourth of five majors. Pavin’s 2-strokepenalty after his first round for hittinga ball that moved a fraction of an inchproved to be costly.

Langer took a 4-shot lead into thefinal round and closed with a shakyperformance that spoiled his shot atwinning his second U.S. Senior Open.

SILVIS, Ill. — Zach Johnson won

the John Deere Classic on Sundaywith a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. His 193-yard6-iron approach from the bunker leftof the 18th fairway ran up to lessthan a foot from the cup for an easybirdie, enabling him to knock off TroyMatteson, whose approach landed 43feet from the pin.

The kick-in birdie had seemedunlikely minutes earlier after Johnsonfollowed Matteson into the water fromthe same bunker on the first playoff hole. Each settled for double-bogey6, then went back to the 18th tee foranother try.

Johnson’s bunkered his tee shotagain but this time, he played one of the better shots of a career that includesa 2007 Masters victory and eight otherPGA Tour titles.

When Matteson was unable to sinkhis long birdie putt, Johnson tapped into secure his second victory of the year,adding to the title he won at ColonialCountry Club.

INVERNESS, Scotland — Jeev

Milkha Singh beat Francesco Molinariin a playoff Sunday to win the ScottishOpen and secure a late berth in nextweek’s British Open.

A final-round meltdown by localhope Marc Warren left Singh andMolinari tied at 17-under 271. The40-year-old Indian won by draining a15-foot putt for birdie on No. 18.

Singh, the son of an Olympic 400-meter runner, shot a bogey-free 5-under67 to tie for the lowest round of the day.Warren and overnight leader Molinari(72) dropped shots down a tough clos-ing stretch into the wind.

Warren, playing in the second-to-last group and also seeking that oneremaining berth in the British Open, ledby three shots with six holes remain-ing. But he faltered under pressure anddropped four strokes in the final four

holes. He finished tied for third withAlexander Noren of Sweden (70) at16 under.

A fierce westerly wind and heavyrain at times proved too much fortop-ranked Luke Donald (73) and PhilMickelson (74), who both finished tiedfor 16th at 12 under.

AUTO RACINGLOUDON, N.H. — Kasey Kahne

got his second Sprint Cup win of theseason. Denny Hamlin and his crewchief had trouble communicating.

Kahne took the lead from Hamlinduring a restart on the 240th lap of the 300-lap race at the 1-mile NewHampshire Motor Speedway onSunday. The winner was helped bymiscommunication between Hamlin,who wanted two tires changed, andcrew chief Darian Grubb, who thoughthe wanted four.

That longer pit stop left Hamlin allthe way back in 13th place but he keptpassing cars until only Kahne remainedin front. Kahne stayed ahead and wonby about 10 car lengths.

It was Kahne’s 14th win of his careerand first since May 27 at Charlotte.Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and

Brad Keselowski rounded out the topfive.

The win enhances Kahne’s chancesof qualifying for the Chase, the last 10races of the season in which the top10 drivers in the point standings winautomatic berths. Two additional spotsgo to the drivers with the most winswho are ranked 11th to 20th in points.Kahne began the day in 16th place buthis two wins are more than anyone inthe second group of 10.

Kyle Busch, the pole-sitter, led thefirst 66 laps before his own costly pitstop. It took longer than usual as hiscrew had a problem with the righttire. Then there was more trouble — adrive-through penalty against Buschfor entering pit road too fast. When hefinally returned to the track, he was allthe way back in 22nd place.

Busch finished 24th. Busch’s team-mate, Hamlin, took over the lead fromBusch after that problem.

Sprint Cup points leader MattKenseth finished 13th and has won justonce this year — in the season-opening

Daytona 500 in February.Sam Hornish Jr., replacing the sus-

pended AJ Allmendinger, came in 22nd.Allmendinger was suspended about 90minutes before the race at DaytonaInternational Speedway last weekendafter a urine sample taken the previousweekend at Kentucky Speedway cameback positive for what his team identi-fied only as a stimulant. His “B” sampleis to be tested, probably this week, withhis toxicologist present.

By BRETT MARTELThe Associated Press

METAIRIE, La. — DrewBrees took some time outof his Sunday to sign auto-graphs on items ranging froma black jersey handed to himby a fan to a $100 millioncontract handed to him by theNew Orleans Saints.

The star quarterback, whohad agreed verbally to hishistoric deal Friday, visitedteam headquarters to take aphysical and put pen to paper

on the 5-year contract thatgives him the highest averageannual pay ($20 million) inNFL history.

Brees then grabbed a sand-wich to go at a Jimmy John’ssandwich shop he owns,where he posed for photos,shook hands and signed auto-graphs for star-struck fansbefore hopping in a whitesport utility vehicle and head-ing for the airport.

Looking satisfied andrelaxed in a black T-shirtwith (hash)NOLALOVEprinted across the front, theclean-cut Brees said he waseager to rejoin his teammates

after a protracted contractholdout that ran parallel toa bounty scandal that hasswirled around the Saintssince March.

“It’s been a little surreal just because of the processthroughout the offseason and just how challenging an off-season it’s been for everyone,obviously everyone withinthe Saints’ organization, thiscity,” Brees said. “It’s justbeen a crazy offseason and Ithink we’re all just ready toget back to work and excitedthat it’s all starting here in aweek. It’s hard to believe.”

Brees, his currently preg-

nant wife, Brittany, and theirtwo young boys spend partsof offseasons in southernCalifornia. Brees will be backin New Orleans again soon,though, as the Saints reportfor training camp July 24.

A year ago, Brees wasorganizing and running a vol-

untary minicamp at Tulaneduring the NFL lockout. Thisoffseason, he missed all of the voluntary practices andmandatory minicamp whilehis agent, Tom Condon, andSaints’ general managerMickey Loomis worked ona new long-term contract thatgave Brees a payday on parwith his record-setting per-formances on the field.

Brees said he had beentraining hard on his own inCalifornia and had main-tained close contact by phonewith teammates and assistanthead coach Joe Vitt through-out the offseason. Vitt ishandling most big-picturehead coaching duties in theabsence of Sean Payton, whohas been suspended by NFLCommissioner Roger Goodellin connection with the bountyinvestigation.

“I talked to coach Vitt allthe time. I talked to (backupquarterback) Chase (Daniel)quite a bit,” Brees said. “Forme, I certainly wanted to keepup on my team and my team-mates and make sure every-body was doing OK. Guyswere texting me all the time,so I was in constant commu-nication with many guys onthe team.”

Brees also expressed con-fidence that, after six years inthe same offensive system,he was “absolutely” ready

to pick up in training campwhere he left off last season,despite the offseason workhe missed with the club. Headded that he was eager totest his skills in camp againstthe scheme being installed bynew Saints defensive coordi-

nator Steve Spagnuolo.“I just look forward to

getting back to work,” Breescontinued. “It does feel likeit’s been a while since I’vebeen out there with my guysand we were running ouroffense.

“Camp, for me, especiallynow with Spagnuolo and anew defensive scheme, that’sfun for me because just as acompetitor, you go throughabout a 4-week period whereyou’re competing againstyour own defense and they’re

scheming you up and you’rescheming them up.” Breesadded. “I missed the guys; Imissed the competition. I’m just excited to get back towork.”

In 2011, Brees set NFLsingle-season records with468 completions, 5,476 yardspassing and a 71.2 comple-tion percentage. His prolificpassing numbers helped theSaints set an NFL high fortotal offensive yards in a sea-son with 7,474. Brees’ yardspassing record shattered amark of 5,084 set by DanMarino back in 1984.

Brees also has been high-

ly active in the communitythrough his Brees Dreamfoundation, which has spon-sored more than $8 millionin projects primarily aimed atimproving schools and ath-letic facilities for children,along with supporting the artsand cancer patients.

For all of those reasons,fans like Gerald Hebert, 40,of Slidell, were delighted toshare a moment with Breesin the parking lot outside hissandwich shop.

Raiders, Tyvon Branch agreeto new 4-year deal

OAKLAND, Calif. — TyvonBranch received the long-term dealhe wanted and the Oakland Raidersgot some financial flexibility in theprocess.

The Raiders agreed to a 4-yearcontract with the safety on Saturdaynight, completing the deal two daysbefore the deadline for franchisetagged players to reach an agreementon a new contract.

CBS Sports reported the contractis worth $26.6 million with $17.1million guaranteed. The AssociatedPress left a message with Branch’s

agent seeking comment.Branch had signed his $6.2 mil-

lion franchise tender May 7 andreported to offseason workouts. Thesides had until today to agree to anew deal.

Getting Branch signed wasimportant for the Raiders, who arecounting on him to be one of theleaders under a new defense run bycoach Dennis Allen and coordinatorJason Tarver. The Raiders report totraining camp in Napa on July 29;now nothing will be holding Branchback from being in wine country.

Branch, a fourth-round pick in2008, has started every game the pastthree seasons and led the Raiders intackles the past two years. He alsohad 78 solo tackles, one sack, oneinterception, four passes defensed

and one fumble recovery last season.Branch’s 327 total tackles over thepast three seasons are the second-most of any NFL defensive back,trailing only Indianapolis’ AntoineBethea, who has 340.

Branch also was much improvedin pass coverage, cutting his comple-tion percentage against from 67.4percent in 2010 to 55.7 percent lastseason, according to STATS LLC,with the Raiders often using him as acornerback in nickel packages.

Branch and free safety MichaelHuff will anchor an overhauled sec-ondary in Oakland this year. Afteryears of running a defense basedon aggressive man coverage underlate owner Al Davis, the Raidersare expected to use more blitzes andzone coverages this season.

The team let go of last season’sstarting cornerbacks, Stanford Routtand Chris Johnson, and signed freeagents Ron Bartell and Shawntae

Spencer.

 Anniversary  Anniversary 

By JAKE COYLEThe Associated Press

NEW YORK — WithBatman lurking, the prehis-toric critters of “Ice Age:Continental Drift” ran off with the box office, earning$46 million in their openingweekend, according to studioestimates Sunday.

The animated film from20th Century Fox is thefourth in the “Ice Age” seriesand the first in 3-D. TheNorth America performanceof “Continental Drift” wason par with previous “IceAge” movies but well belowthe opening weekend of thesecond installment, “The

Meltdown,” which openedwith $68 million in 2006.There has now been a

decade of “Ice Age” films,allowing the characters voicedby Ray Romano, QueenLatifah and John Leguizamoto become increasingly famil-iar to audiences, particularlyinternational ones. The filmhad already done robust over-seas business ahead of open-ing in the U.S. This weekendit earned $95 million interna-tionally, bringing its overseastotal to $339 million.

“Scrat rules the world,”said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox, referring

to the films’ rat-squirrel mas-cot, whose wordless, futilepursuit of a nut is a mainstayof the movies.

The “Ice Age” franchisehas now surpassed $2.2 bil-lion worldwide, and the stu-dio expects “ContinentalDrift” to equal the global totalof the last installment, 2009’s“Dawn of the Dinosaurs,”which took in $886.7 mil-lion.

“There’s really not verymany animated franchisesthat have had three sequels,”said Aronson. “The perfor-mance of ‘Ice Age’ has beenremarkably consistent.”

The weekend was inevita-bly shadowed by two super-heroes, coming a week after

the debut of Sony’s Spider-Man reboot, “The Amazing

Spider-Man,” and one weekbefore the highly-anticipatedBatman sequel, “The DarkKnight Rises.”

In its second week of release, “Spider-Man” earned$35 million, pushing it past$200 million domestically.It earned nearly $67 millionoverseas over the weekend,bringing its worldwide grossto $521.4 million.

Seth MacFarlane’s R-ratedcomedy hit, “Ted,” whichstars Mark Wahlberg anda talking teddy bear, added$22.1 million in its third weekfor a total of $159 million forUniversal Pictures.

But the weekend belongedto family films, which hadthree of the top 10 films at thebox office.

“Ice Age” is the third ani-mated blockbuster to debutat No. 1 this summer, andthe previous mega-car-toons — Pixar Animation’s“Brave” and DreamWorksAnimation’s “Madagascar 3:Europe’s Most Wanted” —also padded their totals. Infourth place, “Brave” added$10.7 million to its $195.6million domestic total, andthe 10th place “Madagascar3” added $3.5 million toits $203.7 million domestic

total.“This shows how incred-ibly important the familyaudience is, particularly inthe summer when familiesare looking for entertainmentthat’s appropriate for the kidsand the parents as well,” saidHollywood.com analyst PaulDergarabedian. “You’ve gotthree family films that all per-formed incredibly well andeach weekend topped the boxoffice.”

The weekend businesswas, as expected, below thecorresponding weekend lastyear, when the final HarryPotter film, “Harry Potter and

the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,”set what was then a box officerecord of $169.2 million.

While Batmanlurks, ‘Ice Age’tops box office

PARIS (AP) — France’sfar-right National Front saidSunday that it plans to sueMadonna after the singershowed a video at a Paris con-cert that contained an imageof the party’s leader with aswastika on her forehead.

The video has been shownat other concerts on the sing-er’s tour, and the party hasexpressed its outrage before,warning that it would takeaction if the video were shown

in France. On Saturday night,Madonna played it at the Stadede France.

National Front spokesmanAlain Vizier said Sunday thatthe party would file a com-plaint in French court nextweek for “insults.”

Party leader Marine Le Penis briefly pictured in the videoduring a montage in whichfamous faces — or parts of faces — morph one into thenext. Soon after Le Pen’s faceflashes up, Madonna’s facefollows with Hitler’s mus-tache.

Le Pen, who inherited

control of the party from herfather, Jean-Marie, has triedto shed the National Front’simage as racist and anti-Semit-ic, especially during her recentfailed bid for president. Butshe has maintained a hard lineon immigrants, saying Francehas too many and criticizingmany Muslims, in particular,for insufficiently assimilatinginto French culture.

Meanwhile, anti-racismgroup SOS Racisme expressedits support for Madonna on

Sunday, commending her forher “resolutely anti-racist andfeminist discourse.”

Tomorrow’s HoroscopeBy Bernice Bede Osol

www.delphosherald.com

TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2012

If the goals you set for yourself inthe year ahead prove to be unfeasibleand need to be altered or changed inany way, don’t hesitate to do so. Just besure that your objectives are realistic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Becareful about inviting others to dropin anytime unless you really mean it.Someone could take you up on yourinvitation and interrupt you at a mostinappropriate moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Recommending to others an idea orsuggestion that you’ve never testedcould land you in a whole lot of trouble. It might look good on paper,but fail miserably in practice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Avoid taking a gamble on somethingthat could affect not only yourresources but also those of others.Even if Lady Luck has been hangingout on your doorstep lately, she mightbe elsewhere today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Itmight be flattering to you when amember of the opposite gender comeson to you, but if it’s inappropriate inany way, it will spell big trouble if yourespond in kind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Relying on wit and charm to get youby may work up to a point, but if thegoing gets tough you could quicklylose all your steam. Make sure to havea solid foundation undergirding yourflourishes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.

21) -- Base your hopes and expectationson solid bedrock and not on loose,shifting sand. Your desires will bedashed if there is nothing substantialholding them in place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)-- Because your behavior and motivesare likely to be closely scrutinizedby anybody and everybody, don’tdo anything foolish that would bedetrimental to your image.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.19) -- It’s an enviable quality, yourinnate wisdom, but you might stepout of character and reward someoneyou shouldn’t while ignoring thedeserving.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)You might be offered a propositionthat appears nifty on the surface buthas hidden strings attached. Don’t bereluctant to ask whatever pertinentquestions you think necessary.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)-- Do not let a close colleague makea decision about a shared concernwithout discussing things with youfirst. This person’s choice mightbenefit him or her but not you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)-- Try not to overextend yourself bytaking on an assignment of another’sin addition your own, no matter howmuch the other person needs help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Itwould be best not to request a favorfrom someone you just met, no matterhow much trouble you’re in. Go toan old friend for whom you’ve donemuch in the past -- he or she owes you

a favor. 

WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2012The year ahead is likely to be an

extremely active one, especially atthose times when you’re putting forthfar more effort and energy than usualin order to satisfy some kind of innerneed. By working hard, you’ll obtainyour desires.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)-- If you’re not careful, a domesticconfrontation over a minor infractioncould overwhelm the household. Eventhough the issue is petty, it couldgenerate major trouble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Although normally you’re prettygood about keeping your temper incheck, if you’re not careful you couldspontaneously overreact should yourviews or opinions be challenged.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)-- Hanging around with friendswho are notoriously extravagant orreckless with their funds opens up thepossibility of you following their lead.Be your own person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you’re at odds with your mate oversomething trivial, make sure youresolve it before going out withfriends. You won’t want it to rear itsugly head when you’re trying to havea good time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Be exceptionally careful if you haveto work with tools or materials withwhich you’re unfamiliar. You mighthave to keep a close eye on a helperwho could be inexperienced, as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.21) -- When out with friends, be onyour best behavior if you find someonein the group to be brash or rude. If yourespond in kind, it’ll make you lookbad, not him or her.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)-- Before establishing a big objective,be sure it’s truly worthy of the troubleit might take to achieve it and notsomething that you won’t appreciateonce you get it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)-- Your manner of expression couldmake a much stronger impressionthan you are likely to intend. Thus, besure that what you say enhances yourimage, not damages it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --Being a bit of a risk taker, you couldeasily jump into something that is

financially way over your head. Beparticularly wary of anything thatseems too good to be true.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) --Think twice before pulling the rug outfrom under a direct competitor. Theconsequences of your actions couldtake you down along with him or her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Instead of vowing to eventually correcta mistake you made, take action themoment you realize your gaffe. Thelonger you wait, the worse it’ll get.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --There’s a chance you could get caughtup in a situation in which the positionyou want to take opposes the will of the majority. Don’t try to fight city hallon your own.

NEW YORK — A new study has foundthat YouTube is emerging as a major platformfor news, one to which viewers increasinglyturn for eyewitness videos in times of majorevents and natural disasters.

The Pew Research Center’s Project forExcellence in Journalism today released itsexamination of 15 months of the most popularnews videos on the Google Inc.-owned site.It found that while viewership for TV newsstill easily outpaces those consuming news onYouTube, the video-sharing site is a growingdigital environment where professional jour-nalism mingles with citizen content.

“There’s a new form of video journal-ism on this platform,” said Amy Mitchell,

deputy director of the Pew Research Center’sProject for Excellence in Journalism. “It’s aform in which the relationship between newsorganizations and citizens is more dynamicand more multiverse than we’ve seen in mostother platforms before.”

More than a third of the most-watched vid-eos came from citizens. Than more half camefrom news organizations, but footage in thosevideos sometimes incorporated footage shotby YouTube users.

The Japanese earthquake and tsunami wasthe most-viewed news event during the lengthof the study, which spanned January 2011to March 2012. The top videos from Japanincluded footage from surveillance cameras,a news network and a Japanese Coast Guardvessel — a typical variety of sources.

Such dramatic events were often among

the most watched videos. Other popular newsevents included the Russian elections, unrestin the Middle East, the collapse of a fair stagein Indiana and the crash of an Italian cruiseship.

“One of the things that emerges here is thepower of bearing witness as a part of a newsconsumption process,” said Mitchell. “Manyof the most viewed stories that we’re lookingat here have real powerful imagery aroundthem.”

The results depicted both reasons for con-cern and encouragement for traditional newsoutlets. While citizen journalism accountsfor a large slice of viewership on YouTube,its users are also eager distributers of profes-sional news video. The study shows YouTubeas a global news arena where professional andamateur video bleed together, and is made

consumable in on-demand style.That kind of atmosphere also makes for

issues of authenticity. Though YouTube hasguidelines for news video, they aren’t alwaysfollowed and some videos go viral despiteuncertain sources.

“This is a young platform and there’recertainly aspects of this interplay and the wayinformation is going to flow that’s still beingworked out,” said Mitchell.

A relatively nascent new organization,Russia Today, a network founded in 2005and backed by the Russian government thatoften reports rumor, had easily the mostvideos among the most-viewed. The secondmost-viewed news organization among thetop videos was Fox News, although the studypointed out that more than half of those vid-eos were posted in criticism of the network.

American pastor abducted in Egypt

Microsoft, NBC dissolve MSNBC.com joint ventureBy MICHAEL LIEDTKE

AP Technology Writer

SAN FRANCISCO —

Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that ownedMSNBC.com, freeing theworld’s largest softwaremaker to build its own onlinenews service.

The breakup announcedlate Sunday dissolves the finalshreds of a 16-year marriagebetween Microsoft Corp. andNBC News, which is nowowned by Comcast Corp. Therelationship began to unwindin 2005 when Microsoft soldits stake in MSNBC’s cableTV channel to NBC.

NBC is buying Microsoft’s50 percent interest in theMSNBC website for an undis-

closed amount. MSNBC.com will be rebranded asNBCNews.com, and readerswho logged into MSNBC.com late Sunday were auto-matically redirected toNBCNews.com.

The website will moveits headquarters fromMicrosoft’s corporate cam-pus in Redmond, Wash., toNBC News’ longtime homein New York.

The online divorcestemmed from the two part-ners’ desire to gain greatercontrol over their digital des-tinies as the Internet becomesan increasingly important part

of their businesses.The inherent constraints of being locked into a joint ven-ture sometimes handcuffedMicrosoft and NBC.

Microsoft, in particu-lar, had grown frustrated by

contract terms requiring it toexclusively feature MSNBC.com content on its own web-sites. That exasperation was

exacerbated by the MSNBCcable channel’s strategy tocounter Fox News Channel’sappeal to conservative view-ers by tailoring its program-ming for an audience with aliberal viewpoint.

The strategy fed a per-ception that material fromMSNBC’s website was polit-ically slanted, too.

NBC News believes it willbe able to attract more traf-fic to its stable of websitesby forging other partnershipsthat were off limits when itwas tied to Microsoft.

“There is no question

that we are going to havemore flexibility to make ourown decisions,” said VivianSchiller, NBC News’ chief 

digital officer. “This is real-ly an amicable breakup. Wethink competition will makeus better.”

MSNBC.com and itsaffiliated sites ranked as theInternet’s fourth most popularsite for general news in theU.S., with nearly 50 millionvisitors in June, up 5 percentfrom last year, according to theresearch firm comScore Inc.

As part of its onlinerestructuring, NBC Newsplans to create a new onlinedestination for the MSNBCcable channel’s personalitiesnext year.

BOSTON — While family and churchmembers prayed Sunday for the Boston

Pentecostal pastor kidnapped with two oth-ers in Egypt, their abductor said he has hadconversations with intelligence officials abouttheir release.

Jirmy Abu-Mashu told The AssociatedPress he kidnapped the Rev. Michel Louis andtwo others off a bus on a road between Cairoand Mount Sinai on Friday, and is demandingpolice release his uncle from prison. He saidhis uncle was jailed after refusing to pay abribe to police.

He said two intelligence officials came tohis home Saturday to negotiate the captives’release. During that meeting, he said, herelocated the pastor and the two other cap-tives — a 39-year-old Boston woman whowas traveling with the same church group anda tour guide. He said he returned the three tohis home when the officials left.

The 61-year-old pastor, who is diabetic,

left his medicine on the bus and securityofficials will have to help with getting it, Abu-Mashu said. He said Michel was tired and wassleeping a lot. He would not allow the AP totalk with the Americans.

Abu-Mashu also said that his imprisoned

uncle is diabetic and claimed his relative wasnot getting the medical assistance he needs.Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official said

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clintonbrought up the case of the two kidnappedAmericans when she met with her Egyptiancounterpart in Cairo on Saturday.

Louis’ son said Sunday his father had natu-ral medicine to treat his diabetes when he wastaken, but he had no other information abouthis condition.

The Rev. Jean Louis said he does not knowif or when his father may be released, and heis concerned about his safety and health.

He spoke to reporters after a church ser-vice in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhoodto pray for the captives. He said his fatherwas on a church trip with 23 other membersof the clergy and worshippers when he wasabducted.

A year after oods, Mississippi River now lowBy A DRIAN SAINZ and

HOLBROOK MOHRAssociated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Ayear after the MississippiRiver swelled to near-historic

proportions and flooded farmsand homes from Illinois toLouisiana, the level along thewaterway’s southern half is solow that cargo barges have runaground and their operatorshave been forced to lightentheir loads.

Wide, sandy strips of shore-line usually invisible even in thelow season are now exposed,shrinking the river’s width andaffecting the way tow captainsnavigate.

Such is life along thenation’s main inland water-way, where millions of tonsof goods are shipped everyyear, some of which end up as

exports departing from southLouisiana ports. Those whomake their living along theMississippi learn to adapt tothe river’s fickle nature.

“It’s remarkable, but it’scompletely normal,” said JimPogue, spokesman for theArmy Corps of Engineers inMemphis. “You get a lowriver, you get a high river, butit’s completely normal.”

There isn’t much man cando to deal with the excep-tionally low river, which atMemphis, is just about 6 feetabove the record low.

“Pray for rain,” said TommyHart, director of the port in

Greenville, Miss. “I’m not a bigfan of rain, but this time I am.”

Aside from that, the bestcoping mechanism is carefulnavigation. With the river thislow, the channels are shallowerand narrower, presenting prob-lems for barges loaded withcoal, grain, iron, steel, sand,gravel and more. They mustreduce their loads to avoid bot-toming out and take extra carenot to collide when passinganother string of barges in thethinner channel.

Also, low water at docksand terminals makes it moredifficult to load or unloadmaterial, as ships have trouble

getting close enough to docks.Companies must get permitsfrom the Army Corps to dredgenear their docks to find deeperplaces to load and unload.

The National WeatherService said the MississippiRiver gauge in Memphis wasat minus-4.8 feet on Friday,but there’s no need to panic.The “minus” reading doesnot mean the river is dried

up — it’s just a measurementbased on how the river gauge isdesigned. Essentially, the read-ing means the river level is farbelow normal.

That low level stands incontrast to the flood of 2011,

which saw the Mississippi fallabout a foot short of the recordcrest of 48.7 feet set in 1937.The National Weather Servicehas set the official crest of lastyear’s flood at 48.03 feet onthe Memphis gauge.

“It’s basically just the oppo-site of last year,” Pogue said.

One reason for the differ-ence is a lack of rainfall inthe Ohio River valley and thenorth Mississippi River basin,said Ryan Husted, a NationalWeather Service meteorolo-gist in Memphis. Sections of Tennessee and regions to thenorth are experiencing droughtconditions. Most areas in the

Mid-South are 10 inches ormore below normal for rainfallfor the year, the weather ser-vice said.

Lower-than-normal snow-fall levels over the northernplains this winter are also anissue, Husted said. Less snowmeans less water from meltedsnow making its way into theMississippi and the rivers thatfeed it.

‘Man of Steel’ flies into Comic-Con with footageBy SANDY COHENThe Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Thereare lots of people dressedlike Superman at Comic-Con, but the real guy — orat least the actor playinghim in the latest Supermanfilm — made a surprise

appearance at the fan fes-tival.

“Man of Steel” direc-tor Zack Snyder presentednew footage from the filmon Saturday and intro-duced star Henry Cavill toan audience of more than6,000 fans.

The British actor said“it’s a dream come true” toplay the iconic superhero,

but confessed “it is prettyintense.”

The footage showedClark Kent as a boy andCavill in his super suit,along with glimpses of co-stars Amy Adams andRussell Crowe.

Snyder said the filmwill make Superman morerelatable than previousdepictions that showed

him as “a big blue BoyScout up on the throne

and you can’t really touchhim.”

“The big challenge,of course, is if you canmake people feel, ‘Whatwould you do it you wereSuperman? How wouldyou feel?”’ Snyder said.“How to make it personal,I think that’s the thing we

went after.”Snyder also hinted —

but coyly refused to con-firm — that General Zodmight be the villain in thefilm, due in theaters nextsummer.

The trailer for “Man of Steel” is set to play aheadof “The Dark KnightRises,” Snyder said.“Dark Knight” director

Christopher Nolan servedas a producer on “Man of 

Steel.”But Snyder said it

would be no contest if thetwo superheroes were everto battle. The director of “300” and “Watchmen”called Superman the “kingdaddy of all superheroes.”

“I love Batman,” Snydersaid. “He is awesome —

like, literally awesome —but, really?”
