Ohio sees record 2010 overdose deaths

By ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS Ohio
saw a record number of drug
overdose deaths in 2010, as
painkiller abuse and ingestion
of multiple drugs at a time
continued to take their toll
and underscored the obstacles confronting the state as it
makes unprecedented efforts
to combat the problem.
The state also saw a record
number of heroin deaths,
which now account for one
in every five overdose deaths,
a trend that may be driven by
painkiller addicts switching to
heroin, a cheaper alternative.
The Ohio Department of
Health recorded 1,544 accidental overdose deaths in
2010, the most recent year
Upfront
with complete data, a 5 percent increase over the next

highest figure from 2008 and
a 372 percent increase over
the decade. Drug overdoses
remained the leading cause of
accidental deaths in the state,
including car crashes, for the
fourth straight year.
The figures reflect the
rapid increase in the number
of prescription painkillers that
have been dispensed in the
state, said Christy Beeghly,
program administrator for the
Health Departments Injury
Prevention Program.
Weve just exposed a
much greater proportion of
the population to these very
addictive and potentially very
dangerous substances, she
said Thursday. Were seeing

deaths, but also in substance

Ohio Attorney General
Mike DeWine said state
efforts in 2011 to fight prescription drug abuse included
shutting down pain management clinics referred to as
pill mills by their critics,
convicting doctors and taking
away medical licenses.
Whether that, and the
publicity, and the other efforts
has stemmed this tide and
whether numbers are starting
to go down we just simply
dont know, he said. What
we do know is in 2010 they
continued to rise and that has
been a steady trend since at
least 1999. We are headed in
the wrong direction.

Jim Stanley, manager of

Ottoville.
OTTOVILLE When the

itsy bitsy spider crawls up the
water spout, one calls theirdad or husband. When the
itsy bitsy spider and its entire
family crawl up, one calls the
exterminator.
After spending more than
30 years in the business of pest
control, Buckeye Exterminating
Manager Jim Stanley has dealt
with everything from spiders to
nesting rodents.
Ive been doing this since
1978. I actually started at a
food plant doing quality control, Stanley said. I got
licensed to do our own pest
control so we wouldnt have
to keep hiring it out. I did that
for 23 years and then retired.
Then, I owned my own business for nine years and sold
it. Back then, Brian Beining
was the owner of Buckeye and
I stopped by to say hi and he
asked me if I wanted a job. Ive
been here ever since.
As manager, Stanley doesnt
have to do as much dirty work
as he used to.
Im in here in the morning
answering phones and sometimes well have people calling
and canceling or changing the
time along with a few people
calling in with some problems,
he said. Occasionally, Ill get
one of the technicians calling
in sick and that causes some
problems because that person
may have nine jobs scheduled
for that day, so I divide all of
those jobs up somehow among
the other technicians so we get
it done. It may not be until the
afternoon or evening but we
will get it done that day.
Im also here to answer
questions for the technicians
and I go out on jobs with them
if its a two-person job, he
said. I also do paperwork. We
have 11 technicians here and
if they each have nine jobs for
a given day, Ill have 99 work
orders to fill out.
Heroin use likely driven

by addicts switching is now
being seen in rural parts of
Ohio where its never been
recorded before, said Joe
Gay, an Athens psychologist
who directs substance abuse
programs for a six-county
region.
The treatment system simply cannot keep up with the
needs, he said. All across the
state people are being turned
away because treatment services are not available to deal
with the problem.
The states efforts to
address the painkiller epidemic started last year with a law
signed by Gov. John Kasich
to crack down on pain management clinics, blamed by
health officials for contributing to hundreds of overdose
deaths in Ohio each year.
Last month, preliminary

numbers from the Ohio State
Board of Pharmacys automated reporting showed the
number of prescribed painkiller doses and drug-related
deaths decreased last year in
Scioto County, the southern
Ohio locale regarded as the
epicenter of the states prescription drug addiction problem.
In December, DeWine
announced that the last pain
medication clinic in Scioto
County had been shut down.
Were into this for the
long battle and this is not
going be easy and were not
going to turn it around overnight, he said Thursday.
The state saw 1,423 accidental drug overdose deaths in
2009, 1,475 in 2008 and 1,351
in 2007.

Boulder, Colo.
He wasnt aware of any
significant effects to key
electrical or technological
systems, but said there was
a two-hour blackout of high
frequency radio communications affecting mainly ham
radio operations stretching
from eastern Africa to eastern
Australia.
Hours earlier, NASA solar
physicist David Hathaway
said that it appeared that the
storm was over, based on a
drop in a key magnetic reading.
But Doug Biesecker
also with the weather prediction center, which forecasts
solar storms pointed to an
increase in a different magnetic field measurement.
Scientists do agree that
other storms may be lining
up in the cosmic shooting
gallery in the coming, days
month and year.
The storm, which started
with a solar flare Tuesday
evening, caused a stir
Wednesday because forecasts
were for a strong storm with
the potential to knock electrical grids offline, mess with
GPS and harm satellites. It
even forced airlines to reroute
a few flights on Thursday.
It was never seen as a
threat to people, just technology, and teased skywatchers
with the prospect of colorful
Northern Lights dipping further south.
But when the storm finally
arrived around 6 a.m. EST

Thursday, after traveling at
2.7 million mph, it was more
a magnetic breeze than a gale.
The power stayed on. So did
GPS and satellites. And the
promise of auroras seemed to
be more of a mirage.
I think we just lucked
out, Jeffrey Hughes, director
of the Center for Integrated
Space Weather Modeling
at Boston University, said
Thursday afternoon. It just
didnt pack as strong a magnetic field as we were anticipating.
Scientists initially figured the storm would be the
worst since 2006 but now
seems only as bad as ones
a few months ago, said Joe
Kunches, a scientist at the
NOAA center. The strongest
storm in recorded history was
probably in 1859, he said.
Its not a terribly strong
event. Its a very interesting
event, Kunches said.
Forecasters can predict
the speed a solar storm travels and its strength, but the
north-south orientation is the
wild card. This time it was a
northern orientation, which
is pretty benign, Kunches
said. Southern would have
caused the most damaging
technological disruption and
biggest auroras.
North American utilities
didnt report any problems,
said Kimberly Mielcarek,
spokeswoman for the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation, a consortium of
electricity grid operators.

WASHINGTON A
solar storm shook the Earths
magnetic field early today,
but scientists said they had no
reports of any problems with
electrical systems.
After reports Thursday of
the storm fizzling out, a surge
of activity prompted space
weather forecasters to issue
an alert about changes in the
magnetic field.

cent of the overdoses in 2010,

up from 39 percent in 2009.
The use of multiple drugs at
a time is also part of the problem, though Beeghly said its
possible coroners are reporting
the use of multiple drugs more
accurately than in the past.
Multiple drug use and
mixing medications is very
dangerous, she said.
Ohio also is seeing increases in overdose deaths attributed to anti-anxiety drugs such
as Valium, Ativan or Xanax,
according to the Health
Department.
The state recorded 338 heroin-involved deaths in 2010,
or 22 percent of all drug overdoses, as addicts who cant
afford pain pills take advantage of the cheap heroin that
has flooded Ohio in recent
years.

this year will be
a bad one.
Jim Stanley
One of the perks of being an
exterminator is when it comes
to bugs, he has pretty much
seen it all.
They call it general pest
control but it should be general insect control, Stanley
said. Most of the calls you
get are about insects. People
dont want them around.
Occasionally, well be called
to do nuisance trapping, like
if a squirrel or raccoon digs in
and makes a home for itself but
mostly, its bugs. Everything
is pretty common; nothing is
strange to us. We do get emergency calls where someone has
honey bees covering an entire
side of their house or yellow
jackets chewing through drywall. We try to get those done
as quickly as possible. Most of
the time people try to take care
of the problem themselves and
calling us is a last resort.
Stanley says the severity
and frequency of bug infestations is directly affected by the

UN to survey health
needs in 4 Syrian cities
By JOHN HEILPRIN
GENEVA The Syrian

government will allow the
United Nations to assess the
basic medical needs of Syrians
in four areas where opposition forces have clashed with
government troops and to
also carry out a preliminary
humanitarian needs assessment, officials said today.
But the rare access to strifetorn areas of Syria gained
by two U.N. agencies for
health and population needs
depends on the cooperation
of local medical students,
Syrian Arab Red Crescent
aid workers and other nongovernment organizations to
conduct the survey.
A third U.N. agency,
for humanitarian needs,
announced today it had
gained access for its own preliminary assessment.
For the past year, Syrias
government has engaged
in a bloody crackdown on
a popular uprising inspired
by the Arab Spring movements in other countries in
the region. The U.N. says
WEATHER
Delphos weather
more than 7,500 people have

been killed. Activists put the
death toll at more than 8,000.
World Health Organization
spokesman Tarik Jasarevic
says a very preliminary
and basic survey overseen
by his agency and the U.N.
Population Fund will be carried out next week with the
cooperation of Syrias health
ministry.
Medical students and aid
workers will fan out in four
areas affected by the crisis:
the rebellious city of Homs,
the southern town of Daraa
where protests began, the
northeastern city of Deir alZour and rural parts of the
capital Damascus, he told
reporters in Geneva.
It is very difficult to assess
needs and provide an independent evaluation in order
to get a clear overview of the
situation and the needs on the
ground, Jasarevic said. The
results will be analyzed by
a technical committee composed of most of the agencies
of the health sector.
In particular, he said, local
aid workers say they already
know there is a critical lack of
medical help ranging from not

enough ambulances to sparse
medicine and other supplies,
particularly for trauma care
and chronic diseases.
The U.N. health agency
says that since the start of the
crisis last year its office in
Syria has been providing the
nations health ministry and
the Red Crescent with ambulances, surgery supplies, and
equipment such as ventilators
and incubators for newborn
babies.
The U.N. Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs, which has been negotiating for access in Syria,
said today it has gained permission to take a first step
toward providing badly needed medical help, food and
basic supplies.
After a three-day tour of
Syria that included Homs and
parts of its devastated suburb
of Baba Amr, OCHA head
Valerie Amos said in Ankara,
Turkey, that she was horrified by the destruction.
Almost all the buildings
had been destroyed and there
were hardly any people left
there, she said.
The government spokesman keeps saying there are

no IMMEDIATE health
effects, the 48-year-old nursery school worker says. Hes
not talking about 10 years or
20 years later. He must think
the people of Fukushima are
fools.
Its not really OK to live
here, she says. But we live
here.
Ota takes metabolismenhancing pills in hopes of
flushing radiation out of her
body. To limit her exposure,
she goes out of her way to
buy vegetables that are not
grown locally. She spends

10,000 yen ($125) a month
on bottled water to avoid the
tap water. She even mailordered a special machine to
dehusk her familys rice.
Not everyone resorts to
such measures, but a sense of
unease pervades the residents
of Fukushima. Some have
moved away. Everyone else
knows they are living with an
invisible enemy.
Radiation is still leaking from the now-closed
Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear
plant, though at a slower pace
than it did in the weeks after
the March 11 earthquake and
tsunami. Its not immediately
fatal but could show up as
cancer or other illnesses years
later.
The uncertainty breeds
fear. Some experts say the
risks are quite low outside
the 20-kilometer (12-mile)
no-go zone, and people can
take steps to protect themselves, such as limiting intake
of locally grown food, not
lingering in radiation hot
spots such as around gutters and foliage, and periodically living outside the area.
But risks are much higher for
children, and no one can say
for sure what level of exposure is safe.
Whats clear is Fukushima
will be a test case that the
world is watching for longterm exposure to low-dose
radiation.
More than 280,000 people
live in Fukushima city alone,
though some have left, and
many more live in surrounding towns, including many of
the 100,000 who have been
evacuated from the no-go
zone.
People are scared to
death, says Wolfgang
Weiss, chairman of the U.N.
Scientific Committee on the
Effects of Atomic Radiation,
which is studying Fukushima.
They are thinking, Tell me.
Is it good or bad? We cant
tell them. ... Life is risky.

really depends on the weather. Winter does its own
pest control. With the mild

this year will be a bad one.
An exterminators arsenal
consists of various chemical
agents and pesticides that
can be dangerous in inexperienced hands. Stanley says
safety is a primary concern.
The Ohio Department of
Agriculture oversees us and
they have a plethora of rules
and regulations, which is a
good thing. They say the
label is the law and we take
that seriously. When youre
working with pesticides its
good to do everything by the
book, he said.
The thing Stanley loves

youve calmed them down
and you get to see the look
on their face, its very satisfying, he said. To us,
this stuff isnt a big deal
but to a lot of people, its
life threatening. Not everyone is made up to do this. It
makes you feel like youve

Ohio company
seeks federal
grant for
wind turbines
CLEVELAND (AP) An
Ohio development company is
looking to win a federal grant
to help fund its project to put
wind turbines in Lake Erie.
The Plain Dealer reports
that Lake Erie Energy
Development Corp. and the
Great Lakes Energy Institute
at Case Western Reserve
University will jointly apply
for the money.
The companys president
tells the newspaper that teams
are working to have two turbines in the Lake between
2015 and 2017.
The U.S. Department of
Energy has a newly created
$180 million fund for offshore wind projects.
Officials in Ohio hope to
get up to $50 million for the
Lake Erie project, and awards
must be matched by local
contributions.
A Case Western professor
says the goal is to reduce the
cost of electricity generated
by wind turbines.

Moderately confused
WASHINGTON The
Senate killed Republicanbacked attempts to overturn
several of President Barack
Obamas environmental and
energy policies Thursday as
lawmakers worked against a
March 31 deadline to keep aid
flowing to more than 100,000
transportation construction
projects around the country.
The two-year, $109 billion
transportation bill before the
Senate has wide, bipartisan
support, but has become a
magnet for lawmakers favorite causes and partisan gamesmanship. Among the amendments batted aside were GOP
proposals to bypass Obamas
concerns about the Keystone
XL oil pipeline, to delay
tougher air pollution standards for industrial boilers
and to expand offshore oil
drilling.
Action on those and other
amendments came under an
agreement between Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., and Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
aimed at clearing the way for
passage of the transportation
bill next week.
Obama lobbied some
Senate Democrats by telephone ahead of the Keystone
vote, urging them to oppose
an amendment by Sen. John

Hoeven, R-N.D., that would
have prevented the president
from intervening in decisions
related to construction of
the pipeline and would have
speeded its approval. Pointing
to the administrations environmental concerns about the
project, which would carry
tar sands oil from Canada
to the Texas Gulf Coast,
Republicans accused Obama
of standing in the way of
greater oil supplies at a time
when Americans are coping
with rising gasoline prices.
But some Democrats, especially those from oil producing states, were torn between
support for the pipeline and
their support for the president. The amendment was
defeated 56-42, even though
11 Democrats broke ranks to
support it. Sixty votes were
needed for passage.
Republican leaders jumped
on the White House lobbying.
Most Americans strongly
support building this pipeline
and the jobs that would come
with it, McConnell said in a
statement.
The presidents lobbying
against the Keystone provision came a week after the
president signaled to me and
to Sen. McConnell that he
might be willing to work with
us on some bipartisan steps
forward on energy legislation

that the American people support, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters. If were going to have
bipartisan action on energy,
the Keystone pipeline is an
obvious place to start.
White House spokesman
Jay Carney said Obama felt it
was wrong to play politics
with the pipeline, especially
since the company behind the
project has said it still was
working on a final route that
might satisfy environmental
concerns. He also said it was
false advertising to suggest
the amendment would have
any impact on gasoline prices.
Also defeated was an
amendment by Sen. Susan
Collins, R-Maine, which would
have forced the Environmental
Protection Agency to rewrite a
rule requiring boiler operators to install modern emissions controls. Boilers are the
second-largest source of toxic
mercury emissions after coalfired power plants. Collins
said the EPAs rule would
drive some manufacturers out
of business.
And the Senate turned down
an amendment to expand offshore oil drilling even though
its sponsor, Sen. David Vitter,
D-La., contended it would
increase domestic energy supplies and reduce gas prices.
paign seeks to explain that in

an uncertain world, Marines
need to be ready to engage in
whatever activity our country
needs us to engage in, Brig.
Gen. Joseph L. Osterman,
head of the Marine Corps
Recruiting Command, said in
a recent interview.
That may go all the way
from a combat-type environment, as weve been doing for
the last 10 years, to what we
did before ... emergent chaotic situations ... catastrophes
... natural disasters or failedstate-type situations where
people need help, he said.
The smallest of the service branches, at 202,000,

being light and agile enough
to get to any crisis on a

911 Force, at the ready to
restore order, come to the rescue or evacuate those in danger. A Marine in one of the
new advertising videos runs
toward an unidentified city
under a smoke-filled sky amid
sounds of people screaming.
There are a few who move
toward the sounds of chaos ...
toward the sounds of tyranny,
injustice and despair, a voice
says. Which way would you
run?
The question is a subtle
appeal to the generation
known as millennials, who
said in a survey they believe

in giving back to society,
voting in national elections
and helping people in need,
wherever they may live, said
Marshall Lauck, director of
the Marine Corps advertising
account at JWT ad agency.
The JWT ad agency does
year-round research and periodic larger efforts with the
Corps to keep an eye on what
the pool of potential American
recruits is thinking. It found
in the late 2010 survey of 17to 24-year-olds that roughly
70 percent believed helping
others was essential to being
a good citizen today.
Only 31 percent of the same
5,000 surveyed thought serving
in the military was important to
being a good citizen.
We have a large number of young people who are
interested in doing good ... yet
they dont necessarily realize
the military in general and the
Marine Corps in particular is
a great way to do that, said
Lauck, a former Marine.
The survey included another 5,000 people the military
calls influencers, parents,
coaches, teachers and similar role models. Many said
they had a very favorable
view of the military but did
not respond in the same high
numbers on whether they
would recommend the services to the young people in
their lives.
clear a day later that Sherrods

speech was about racial reconciliation, not division, Vilsack
apologized and asked her to
return to the department an
offer she declined. President
Barack Obama also offered
an apology after her ouster
created a racial firestorm.
Agriculture Department
officials exchanged more than
two dozen e-mails with their
White House counterparts as
the story began to hit conservative websites and later
Fox News the afternoon and
evening of July 19, 2010. The
video posted on the website BigGovernment.com, run
by the late Andrew Breitbart
showed Sherrod saying
she was initially reluctant to
help a white farmer more than
two decades earlier.
USDA director of communications Chris Mather sent
the White House press office
a heads-up email describing
the video.
She goes on to make it a
larger case about understanding race .... but looks bad.
(Fox News host Bill) OReilly
just called us for statement,
Mather says in the email.
White House spokesman
Reid Cherlin, responds, asking Mather in an email what
USDA is going to say about
the matter, and has she been
fired? Ill alert folks here.
Mather answers, telling Cherlin that Sherrod had

been placed on administrative
leave. I guess some folks
over there are circling wagons, Mather says, referring
to the White House.
At the same time, Valerie
Green of the White House
presidential personnel office
was emailing the USDAs
White House liaison, Kevin
Washo, asking him to loop her
in, Please. Please. Please.
Washo emails back to her,
I tried calling you.
In a separate email
exchange with Green, Washo
asked for records the White
House might have on Sherrod,
who was a political appointee.
Green says she is working on
it. Washo replies: Let me
know what counsel says so
we can be decisive on this.
In a later email, Green
says, I still think we need
the rest of the speech if we
can get it.
Despite those concerns,
USDA officials extracted
the resignation from Sherrod
that evening. In an email, she
offered her resignation but
put the Obama administration on notice that I will
get the whole story out. The
next day, Sherrod appeared
on numerous television news
programs, saying she was
unfairly asked to leave.
Really!?! A kinder, gentler side of the Marines?

By PAULINE JELINEK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Theyve long been known

as devil dogs, leathernecks
and the first to fight. But
U.S. Marines, with their selfdescribed expertise in killing
people and breaking things,
now want to promote their
kinder side as well.
A new Marine Corps
advertising campaign starting this weekend takes its
cue from research showing
todays recruit-age generation
is interested in helping people.
So the campaign is crafted to
show Marines not only as
warriors but as humanitarians
and peacekeepers; not only as
courageous but also as compassionate.
Photos and videos to be
distributed on television, in
American movie theaters, on
YouTube and elsewhere show
Marines talking with children;
bringing food, water and medical supplies to Haitian earthquake victims, and clearing
rubble from a tsunami-devastated Japanese village. These
missions arent a new role
for Marines, but are ones the
force expects to do more of
as its freed from a decade of
fighting land wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan and returns to its
seafaring, expeditionary roots.

Emails show White House input on Sherrod ouster

By MARY CLARE
JALONICK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON White
House officials were in close
contact with the Agriculture
Department in the hours leading up to Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsacks decision to
fire USDA employee Shirley
Sherrod in 2010, according to
nearly 2,000 pages of internal
emails released by the administration.
Emails obtained by The
Associated Press under the
Freedom of Information Act
dont contradict Vilsacks
assertion that he made the
decision to oust Sherrod as the
departments director of rural
development in Georgia after
an edited video of her making supposed racist remarks
surfaced on a conservative
website.
But they do show the
White House and Agriculture
Department officials were
sharing information and
advice from the first minutes
after the scandal began to
emerge until Sherrod submitted a resignation hours later at
the request of a senior USDA
official.
USDA officials asked
Sherrod, who is black, to
resign after the original video
emerged. Once it became

Top-ranked Lady Green

ousted by Red Devils

Correspondent
Brooke Ruffer, Baily

Grime and Connor Varner all
had 11 points for Stryker.
ELIDA Top-ranked
Ottoville and second-ranked
Arlington battled in the nightcap of the Elida Division IV
Regional semifinal on the
Union Bank Court of the
Elida Fieldhouse.
Alivia Recker hit for 19
points, Amelia Recker 14 and
Jordyn Webb 13 as the Lady
Red Devils downed the Lady
Green 59-48.
Webb nailed a 3-pointer to
break a 29-29 tie in the third
and the Red Devils held the
lead from then on to advance
to the final against New
Riegel, a 50-43 winner over
Stryker in the first game.
Ottoville (ending its season at 23-1) closed within
46-43 on a drive by senior
Lauren Koch with four minutes to play but Arlington
(24-1) used the free-throw
line to pull away. They hit
13-of-18 free throws in the
final period.
Junior Abby Siefker paced
Ottoville with 14 points and
11 rebounds.

Turnovers were crucial to
the outcome of this contest
as the Green and Gold committed 16 for the night (9 in

Suns get 1st win over Mavericks in 9 tries

By BOB BAUM
PHOENIX The Phoenix

Suns finally got the best of the
Dallas Mavericks. Barely.
Jared Dudley scored 12 of
his 18 points in a third-quarter
comeback and Phoenix held
on to beat Dallas 96-94 on
Thursday night, the Suns first
victory over the Mavericks in
nine tries, four this season.
This is definitely big for
us, Dudley said. Weve
struggled against this more than
any other team, especially at
home.
Dallas blew out the Suns in
Phoenix 122-99 on Jan. 30.
Grant Hill scored 10 of his
15 points in the second half for
Phoenix, but missed two free
throws with 15.4 seconds left.
Dallas had two chances after
that but Rodrigue Beaubois
missed a driving layup, then
couldnt hit an open 18-foot
jumper at the buzzer.
You are not always going
to get your star players the shot
at the end because they attract
so much attention, Mavericks
coach Rick Carlisle said,
explaining the last play. That
is one of the reasons Rodrigue
got so wide open.
One player who wondered
why he wasnt in the game at
the end was sharpshooter Jason
Terry.

WASHINGTON Alex
Ovechkin scored on a wrist
shot at 4:09 of overtime, and
the Washington Capitals came
back to beat the Tampa Bay
Lightning 3-2 Thursday night,
snapping a three-game losing
streak.
Ovechkin celebrated
the end of his four-game
point drought by racing over to leap into the
boards.
Washington trailed
2-1 late in the third period, before Marcus Johansson
forced overtime by scoring with
3:58 left. Ovechkins goal ruined
the first NHL start by Lightning
goalie Dustin Tokarski, who
was recalled from Norfolk of
the AHL on Wednesday.
Teddy Purcell helped the
Lightning take the lead by
extending his point streak to 11
games with a goal and an assist
on power plays. He has seven
goals and 15 assists during that
run.
DEVILS 5, ISLANDERS 1
NEWARK, N.J. Ilya Kovalchuk
scored three goals to record his second hat trick in just over three weeks
to lead New Jersey over the New York
I cant check myself in and

out of the game, he said. You
got to ask the person who didnt
have me in the game. Ask him
his thoughts on why I wasnt in
the game. What I think doesnt
matter.
Asked why Terry wasnt in
the game Carlisle simply said
coachs decision.
Marcin Gortat added 16
points and 12 rebounds as the
Suns won their fourth straight
home game, their longest streak
in nearly two years. Steve Nash
had 11 points and 11 assists.
Vince Carter and Dirk
Nowitzki had 18 points apiece
for Dallas in the Mavericks
fifth road loss in a row.
Phoenix, coming off a loss
at Oklahoma City the previous
night, outscored the Mavericks
31-8 over a stretch late in the
third quarter and early in the
fourth, erasing a 12-point deficit to go up by 11.
We got the pace of the
game up where we wanted it,
Suns coach Alvin Gentry said.
Once again we came up with
stops, which is really important
to run off misses as opposed to
taking the ball and running off
makes. We had the game at the
tempo where we wanted it and
we were able to score.
Nash said the game was crucial as the Suns try to climb into
contention for a playoff berth.
We couldnt lose both
of these (Oklahoma City and

Dallas) and stay in the playoff picture, he added. Its an
early crunch time for us. Weve
got to keep crawling back to
that eight-nine-ten spots and try
to give ourselves a chance to
sneak in there.
The Suns had an 18-4 outburst over the final 4 1/2 minutes
of the third quarter to take a
78-76 lead entering the fourth.
Phoenix added to the onslaught
with a 13-4 run to start the final
quarter. Sebastian Telfair made a
3-pointer, then Shannon Browns
thunderous dunk on a rebound
put the Suns up 90-80. Hakim
Warrick capped the outburst by
making one of two free throws.
But the Suns failed to score
in the final 2:46 after Warrick
made one of two free throws to
put Phoenix ahead 96-87.
Jason Kidd sank his third
3-pointer and Nowitzkis
14-footer cut the lead to 96-92
with 1:01 to play. Gortat scored
on a layup but was called for
an offensive foul. That led to
Nowitzkis inside basket that
cut the lead to 96-94 with 25
seconds left. Hill was fouled,
but missed both free throws and
Dallas called a timeout with
14.3 seconds to go.
Beaubois drove the lane but
his shot in traffic was off the
mark. The ball was knocked
out of bounds, and after referees reviewed the replay, the
ball was awarded to Dallas

with 2.5 seconds left. Beaubois
then misfired from 18 feet and
Phoenix escaped with its sixth
win in eight games.
This was just a mental breakdown by our team,
Carter said.
Dallas led 72-60 after Lamar
Odoms 3-pointer with 4:43
left in the third quarter and
was up 74-63 on his dunk with
3:59 to go. The Suns scored
the next 11 to tie it 74-74 on
Dudleys 20-footer with 1:34
left. Nowitzkis two free throws
put Dallas back on top 76-74,
but Nash made a 16-footer, then
Dudley scored inside with 29.8
seconds left to give Phoenix
the lead.
The Suns shot 74 percent in
the third quarter (14 of 19).
Islanders.
Patrik Elias and David Clarkson
also scored and Martin Brodeur made
29 saves as the Devils earned their
38th win, matching last seasons total
when they missed the playoffs for the
first time since 1996.
Kovalchuks linemates, Adam
Henrique and Zach Parise, each had
two assists, with Parise scoring his
400th NHL point.
Defenseman
Andy
MacDonald scored for the
Islanders, who had a twogame winning streak snapped.
Evgeni Nabokov stopped 15
shots and lost for the sixth
time in 16 games (10-5-1).
BRUINS 3, SABRES 1
BOSTON David Krejci

NEW YORK Dion
Waiters had 18 points and
James Southerland scored
all 10 of his points in the
final 8 minutes to lead No. 2
Syracuse to a 58-55 victory
over Connecticut on Thursday
in the quarterfinals of the Big
East tournament, snapping the
Huskies 13-game postseason
winning streak.
The top-seeded Orange
(31-1) won their 11th straight
game overall and advanced to
face Cincinnati in the semifinals Friday night at Madison
Square Garden.
But not before these rivals
added another chapter to their
Big East tournament history.
Shabazz Napier had 15
points and Andre Drummond
added 14 for the ninth-seeded
Huskies (20-13), who were
trying to duplicate last years
first-ever five-game run to the
Big East tournament title that
was followed by a 6-game
streak that brought the school
its third national championship.
In the semifinals last year,
Connecticut beat the Orange
76-71 in overtime. In the previous meeting in the tournament in 2009, Syracuse won
127-117 in a six-overtime
quarterfinal.
CINCINNATI 72, NO. 13
GEORGETOWN 70, 2OT
NEW YORK Cashmere
Wright banked in a runner with 7.6
seconds left, and Cincinnati beat
Georgetown in another multiple-OT
classic at the Big East tournament.
The fourth-seeded Bearcats
(23-9) trailed by 11 points midway
through the second half of the quarterfinal but rallied behind Yancy
Gates, who scored 23 points in his
back-and-forth, big-man duel with
Henry Sims.
Gates scored twice in the last
2 minutes of regulation to give
the Bearcats their first lead since
midway through the first half. The
Hoyas Otto Porter sent the game to
overtime when his jumper bounced
in with 3.6 seconds remaining.
Sims, who had 22 points and 15
rebounds, hit a layup at the buzzer
to force a second OT for the Hoyas
(23-8). Well out of his range, Sims
missed a potential winning 3-pointer
at the end.
LOUISVILLE 84, NO. 9
MARQUETTE 71
NEW YORK Kyle Kuric scored
20 points, Peyton Siva added 18
and Louisville forced Marquette
into a season-high 26 turnovers,

8 The Herald
An early glimpse at U2s soul
One thing was clear, back in

the winter of 1982. No one at the
famous Record Service store near
the University of Illinois campus
could gure out the hot new Irish
band that was about to hit town.
The guy behind the front desk
cranked up the groups new single so that everyone could ponder
the lyrics.
I try to sing this song, sang
the young singer called Bono
Vox. I, I try to stand up, but I
cant nd my feet. I, I try to speak
up, but only in you Im complete.
Gloria, in te domine. Gloria, exultate.
That was Latin, but what did
it mean? A Newman Center priest
told me that the rst phrase, perhaps a Mass fragment or drawn
from chant, meant, Glory in you,
Lord. The next meant, Exalt
Him. Then again, it was hard to
hear the second Latin phrase.
The priest apologized and said
he wasnt used to parsing rock
lyrics.
Yes, the band 30 years ago
was U2 and its mysterious sec-
TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
ond album was called October.
Both were surrounded by clouds
of rumors, which I explored in a
News-Gazette column on Feb. 19,
1982. What I needed to do was
meet the band before its Feb. 23
concert in Champaign-Urbana.
Luckily, the 20-year-old Bono
was willing to discuss Gloria
and October. Describing that
interview, the reference book
U2: A Diary notes: Although
the band have gone out of their
way to avoid talking about their
faith up to this point, they speak
candidly now.
That column ran on March 5
of that year, and it apparently was
the rst mainstream news piece
in which Bono and company dis-
cussed their faith. I immediately

pitched the story to Rolling Stone,
where editors decided that U2
wasnt all that important or that it
was bizarre for a guy like Bono to
talk about God -- or both.
All of that changed -- quickly.
Thirty years down the road,
what is striking about that interview is the fact that the issues that
drove Bono then still dominate
his life today. For example, he
stressed that U2 had no interest in
being stereotyped as a Christian
band or in allowing Christian
to become a sad marketing term
for its work.
The band is anxious not to be
categorized, he said. You know,
if, for instance, people are talking about U2 in a spiritual sense
... that becomes a pigeonhole for
people to put us in. That worries
us.
Also, from the point of view
of coming from where we come
from, Ireland is a place thats been
cut in two by religion. I have no
real time for religion and, there-
fore, avoid those kinds of stereotypes. I would hate for people to

think of me as religious, though I
want people to realize that I am a
Christian.
Decades later, tensions remain
between believers who work
in the so-called contemporary
Christian music industry and
believers who work in the mainstream music industry. The latter
often cite U2s work as a prime
example of how religious imagery and themes can be woven into
successful popular music.
The goal, Bono stressed, is to
avoid making preachy music that
settles for easy answers while
hiding the struggles that real people experience in real life. When
writing a song about sin, such as
I Fall Down, he stressed, I always include myself in the we.
You know, we have fallen. I
include myself. ... Im not telling everybody that I have the
answers. Im trying to get across
the difculty I have being what I
am.
At the same time, he expressed
disappointment that so many

people -- artists in particular -- attempt to avoid the ultimate questions that haunt life. The doubts,
fears, joys and grace of religious
faith are a part of life that we
like to sweep under the carpet,
he concluded.
Deep down, everyone is
aware. You know, when somebody dies, when somebody in
their family dies. ... Things that
happen around us, they shock
people into a realization of what
is going down, he told me.
I mean, when you look at the
starvation, when you think that
a third of the population of this
earth is starving, is crying out
in hunger, I dont think that you
can sort of smile and say, Well,
I know. Were the jolly human
race, you know. Were all very
nice, REALLY. I mean, were
not, are we?

Dad-son talk, celebrity tweets key to viral video

By JASON STRAZIUSO
and RODNEY
MUHUMUZA
KAMPALA, Uganda
The young American boy
sums up what his father does
for a living: You stop the bad
guys from being mean.
Yes, the father says, but
who are the bad guys? The
child thinks, then offers a
guess: Star Wars people?
Though half a world
away from this preschoolers
American upbringing, the
truth is far more sinister.
The bad guys are Joseph
Kony and his Lords
Resistance Army, a brutal
Central Africa militia that
has kidnapped thousands of
children and forced them to
become sex slaves, fight as
child soldiers and kill family members during a 26-year
campaign of terror.
The father-son conversation is part of a 30-minute video that has rocketed

through cyberspace since its
release Monday on YouTube.
It had been viewed more
than 40 million times by
late Thursday, propelled by
celebrity tweets and fans on
Facebook and Twitter, especially teens and young adults.
The videos premise is that
people here in America
and the world beyond have
the power to stop Kony, if
only they are willing to spread
the word through the power
of social media. Called Kony
2012, the goal is to see Kony
captured by the end of this
year.
The father, Jason Russell,
is the co-founder of Invisible
Children, an anti-LRA advocacy group, and the films
director. At one point in the
film, he asks his son, Gavin,
what he thinks should be done
WASHINGTON (AP)
An upcoming documentary
released by President Barack
Obamas re-election campaign seeks to portray the
president as a determined figure who took on a series of
difficult challenges during his
first term.
Obamas campaign has
released a trailer to The Road
Weve Traveled, narrated by
actor Tom Hanks.
The trailer includes interviews with Vice President Joe
Biden, Chicago Mayor Rahm
Emanuel and others who

describe Obamas response to
the economic downturn, health
care reform, the bailout of the
auto industry and the U.S. raid
that killed Osama bin Laden.
Republicans are panning
the film, saying Obamas policies led to high unemployment and record debt.
The 17-minute documentary was directed by Davis
Guggenheim and will be
released on March 15 at campaign field offices across the
nation.
Obama lm portrays
determined president
about Kony.
Stop
him,
Gavin
responds.
Then, in one of the videos many slick moments,
the boys words are quickly
echoed by the prosecutor of
the International Criminal
Court, where Kony is wanted
for crimes against humanity.
Stop him, Luis MorenoOcampo says on camera, and
(that will) solve all the problems.
Despite an International
Criminal Court arrest warrant
and the deployment last fall
of 100 U.S. Special Forces
to four Central African countries to help advise in the
fight against Kony, until now,
few Americans knew who he
was.
To those 99 percent,
Russell poses this challenge:
Make Kony and his crimes
so famous that governments
view it as imperative that the
mission to capture him succeeds.

Celebrities and teens
have quickly joined the
cause.
Even if its 10 minutes ...
Trust me, you NEED to know
about this! tweeted Rhianna.
This is not a joke. This
is serious. TOGETHER we
can (hash)MakeAChange and
(hash)STOPKRONY help
another kid in need! Justin
Bieber tweeted.
Have supported with $s
and voice and will not stop,
tweeted Oprah.
Data collected by YouTube
show the video is most popular with boys and girls ages 13
to 17, as well as young men
ages 18 to 24.
Invisible Childrens critics say the San Diego-based
group oversimplifies a complex issue. In a rebuttal posted on its website, the group
acknowledges the video over-
looks many nuances but says

it sought to explain the conflict in an easily understandable format. It called the film
a first entry point.
Its something we can all
agree on regardless of your
political background, said
Ben Keesey, the groups
28-year-old chief executive
officer. There are few times
where problems are black and
white. Theres lots of complicated stuff in the world, but
Joseph Kony and what hes
doing is black and white.
The LRA began its attacks
in Uganda in the 1980s, when
Kony sought to overthrow
the government. Since being
pushed out of Uganda several
years ago, the militia has terrorized villages in Congo, the
Central Africa Republic and
South Sudan.
Because of the intensified
hunt for Kony, LRA forces
once thousands strong
have diminished in number,

splitting into smaller groups
that can travel the jungle more
easily. Experts estimate the
militia now has about 250
fighters.
Attacks continue, with victims mutilated by machetes,
their faces slashed into grotesque shapes. Women are
raped and killed. Young girls
are forced into sexual slavery.
Jolly Okot was abducted
in 1986. The then-18-year-old
could speak English, so she
was valuable to the militants,
who also forced her into sex
slavery.
Today, Okot is the Uganda
country director for Invisible
Children. She said the group
is helping 800 people affected
by LRA violence to attend
high school and college. The
program has given hope to
kids who previously dropped
out of school.
NEW YORK (AP)

Bette Midlers voice has
helped make songs like Wind
Beneath My Wings classics,
and now shell be honored for
that gift.
Midler is set to receive
the Sammy Cahn Lifetime
Achievement Award at the
Songwriters Hall of Fame
on June 14 in New York.
The organizations chairman,
Jimmy Webb, says Midler
captivated the world with

her stylish presentation and
unmistakable voice, making
each song her own.
Past Sammy Cahn honorees include Dick Clark, Neil
Diamond and Tony Bennett.
The Songwriters Hall of
Fame is inducting Bob Seger,
Gordon Lightfoot, Don
Schlitz, Harvey Schmidt and
Tom Jones, and Jim Steinman
this year.
CLAREMORE,
Okla.
(AP) Oklahoma authorities say theyre searching for
a suspected trespasser after
a burning vehicle was found
near the home of country
singer Garth Brooks.
Tulsa television station
KOTV reports that one of
Brooks neighbors reported
the fire Thursday morning. Police say the burning Chrysler SUV had been
reported stolen Wednesday.

The sheriffs office says
that when they responded
to the fire, they saw a man
running across Brooks property. A deputy says authorities set up a perimeter around
Brooks property to try to
locate the man.
It wasnt immediately
known whether the man
knew the property belonged
to Brooks.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 2012

You?re the type of person
who enjoys being able to operate
independently of others, yet in the
near future some of your biggest
successes are likely to come through
joint endeavors, not necessarily from
solo efforts.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Someone who is indebted to you isnt
likely to clear up his or her obligation
in the agreed-upon time without being
prodded to do so. It will be up to you
to provide the necessary reminder.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Ignore any inclinations you have to
postpone making a difficult decision.
Nothing will change with time, and
youll only be putting off doing what
you must take care of eventually.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Substantial achievements can be
made, provided youre willing to face
facts and pay the price. Youre going
to have to earn what you want the hard
way: by doing it yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Your energy, drive and luck all have
their limitations, so dont push any
one of them too far. The results could
end up being counterproductive.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -When it comes to handling a delicate
domestic development, be smart and
use a featherlike touch. Heavy-handed
methods are only likely to create
additional rebellion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Think
before you open your mouth when
conversing with your pals. If you
dont, theres a strong chance that
you could unwittingly blurt out some
caustic remarks that wont be readily
forgiven.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You should of course look out for
your own interests, but do so in ways
that wont hurt others in the process.
If you steamroll people to get what
you want, youll have very little to
show for it in the end.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Even
though you might have considerable
reserves upon which to draw, it still
might not be enough to accomplish
your aims. However, dont lose heart,
youll have it all soon.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Usually it doesnt take much to
arouse your optimism, yet testy
circumstances might cause you to
think negatively. Dont let gloom
overshadow the light.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Don?t allow old objectives or
friends to suffer neglect because of a
newfound enthusiasm on your part.
Give each one the proper, adequate
attention it deserves.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- This might be one of those
days when the progress you make
isnt as rapid as you would like it to
be. However, keep in mind that each
and every step you make moves you
closer to your goal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Although your faith might be put to
the test, remember that as long as you
hold fast to the things you believe in,
life will eventually work out to your
satisfaction.

Pitt shooter had no ID, fingerprints yield nothing

By KEVIN BEGOS and JOE MANDAK
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH The University of

Pittsburgh psychiatric clinic gunman wasnt
carrying identification and his fingerprints
have yielded no clues to his identity, the
Allegheny County Medical Examiners Office
said today.
The gunmans fingerprints were run
through a nationwide database used by police
and federal agencies, including the FBI and
CIA, to no avail. City police have yet to
say what motivated the gunman, who was
apparently shot dead by campus police in
Thursdays shooting rampage at the Western
Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.
The man had two semiautomatic pistols
when he shot seven people one of whom
died and whose name has also yet to be
released because the medical examiners
office had yet to notify his father by today
morning. An eighth person was hurt, but officials say that injury was not gunshot-related.
The surviving victims are all expected to
recover.
John Leight Sr., of Shaler Township, confirmed to The Associated Press that his wife,
Kathryn Leight, a receptionist at the clinic, was one of the wounded, but otherwise
declined comment when reached at home.
At this point I still dont know what happened, he said.
Leights son, John Jr., told the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette that the family has been told his
64-year-old stepmother had been shot four
times and underwent emergency surgery. He
said the woman remained in intensive care,
but had been taken off a ventilator and was
breathing on her own.
The clinic was open today and police
and extra security could be seen checking
employees identification as they entered the
front lobby, where authorities say the shootings occurred.
Gregory Brant told The Associated Press
he was barricaded in a first-floor waiting
room when the gunfire began about 1:40 p.m.
Thursday. For 15 minutes, it was fear and
pandemonium.
We heard a bunch of yelling, some shooting, people yelling, Hide! Hide! Brant said.
Everyones yelling, Stay down!
Brant, 53, and six other people, including a young girl and her parents, were in a
waiting room when the chaos began. They
cowered in a corner, hoping they wouldnt
be seen. But the men in the room quickly
decided that if the gunman entered, theyd
rush him.
We were kind of sitting ducks, Brant
said. Luckily, he didnt see us in there, and
we didnt make eye contact with him.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl stopped short
of confirming the gunman was shot by a
University of Pittsburgh police officer. But
he added that police acted admirably and did
engage in gunfire.
Theres no doubt that their swift response
saved lives today, Ravenstahl said.
Officials at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center said they were treating five
patients aged 35 to 64, including two who had
undergone surgery. The hospital isnt releasing patient names, but a 64-year-old woman,
believed to be Kathryn Leight, and a 49-yearold man were still listed in serious condition
today morning.
Two others were treated and released,
according the hospital officials.
One of the injured was a police officer who
was grazed by a bullet. The injured people
included employees and a visitor, said Dr.
Donald Yealy, chair of emergency medicine
at the universitys medical school.
The clinic is a couple of miles from downtown, near the heart of the Pitt campus and its
affiliated medical center.
Pitt sent out email and text alerts shortly
after 2 p.m. to warn people of the shooting.
An active shooter has been identified
at Western Psychiatric Institute. Several
injured, the alert said. Possible second actor
in Western Psych. Lockdown recommended
until further notice. If safe to do so, tell others
of this message.
Reports about a possible second gunman
and a hostage situation at the clinic or at
a nearby hospital were unfounded, UPMC
spokesman Paul Wood said later.
Stronger US economy may 2 children found living in abandoned school bus

strain to top expectations
Associated Press
But there was no indication that the living conditions were as
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The U.S. economy has been outrunning

everyones expectations.
Factory output has surprisingly surged. Housing, left for
dead, is inching back. Most crucially, companies are hiring
faster than many envisioned.
Funny thing about expectations, though: Each time you
exceed them, it gets harder to do so next time. Today, economists expect the government to report a 200,000-plus job gain
for a third straight month.
The previous two months, job growth topped expectations,
and unemployment sank from 8.7 percent to 8.3 percent.
Consumer confidence has since risen. So have President Barack
Obamas approval ratings.
This time? Another strong jobs report would be a welcome
sign that the economy is further strengthening. But unless it
exceeds expectations, it may not ignite a celebration.
Theres a new threshold for whats seen as a good report,
said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight.
Our expectations are higher.
Thats why the Obama administration hopes to dispel any
assumption that the job market is destined to keep improving at
the same pace before the November election. Last month, when
a burst of hiring was reported for January 243,000 net jobs
Obama cheered. Yet he also cautioned, These numbers will
go up and down in the coming months.
An Associated Press survey of nearly two dozen economists
late last month found that many envision lower unemployment
in the coming months than they did a few weeks earlier. A big
reason is that they now expect stronger job creation.
The publics perception of the economy has improved in
recent months. Obama has benefited. But analysts warn that
voters remain cautious. Any setback in the trend could reverse
the brighter outlook. Previous improvements in public sentiment
about the economy havent lasted.
In an Associated Press-GfK poll last month, 48 percent said
they approved of how Obama was handling the economy, up 9
points from December. And 30 percent of Americans described
the economy as good a 15-point jump from December and
the highest level since the AP-GfK poll first asked the question
in 2009.
But Matt McDonald, a partner at Hamilton Strategies, a consulting firm, said the White House has prematurely celebrated
positive economic news before. After some strong jobs figure
emerged in the spring of 2010, Vice President Joe Biden began
touting the recovery summer. The economy then sputtered.
More such missteps could erode the administrations credibility on the economy, said McDonald, who worked in the
White House under President George W. Bush in 2005.
Ex-detective found guilty

in cold-case murder
By LINDA DEUTSCH
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES A quarter century after a womans

murder, jurors took little more than a day to decide Thursday
the killer was a former Los Angeles police detective who was
finally unmasked by her DNA and history of obsessive love for
her victims husband.
Stephanie Lazarus was impassive as she heard the firstdegree murder verdict. Her long-ago lover, John Ruetten,
watched grimly in the courtroom with the family of his slain
wife.
Lazarus, 51, was linked to the case by a cold case team
examining DNA swabs taken from a bite mark on the arm of
victim Sherri Rasmussen.
Police Chief Charlie Beck, who had worked closely with
Lazarus in the LAPD, apologized to the Rasmussen family for
the long delay in closing the case.
I am truly sorry for the loss of your wife, of your daughter.
I am also sorry it took us so long to solve this case and bring
a measure of justice to this tragedy, he said in a written statement.
This case was a tragedy on every level, he added. The
LAPD family felt a sense of betrayal to have an officer commit
such a terrible crime.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley was in
court for the verdict and said later the case demonstrated the
importance of DNA as an investigative tool.
Had it not been for DNA the case might never have been
solved, he said.
The police officers union issued a statement saying it
hoped the case would not tarnish the reputation of thousands
of dedicated police officers.
The conviction came after a three-week trial that included
testimony from a forensic expert who said the DNA found in
the bite mark was a match to Lazarus.
Her defense attorney countered that the DNA was packaged
improperly and deteriorated while stored in a coroners freezer
for two decades. He also suggested there might have been
evidence tampering.
Prosecutors Shannon Presby and Paul Nunez suggested
during the trial that Lazarus, a trained police officer, knew
to avoid leaving other evidence such as fingerprints and may
have worn gloves.
The idea that saliva from a bite mark could be her undoing
was inconceivable in 1986 when DNA had not yet entered the
justice system as a forensic tool.
Among those present at the verdict was Superior Court
Judge Lance Ito, who presided over the first famous DNA case
in the building the O.J. Simpson trial in 1995. Ito, whose
court is down the hall from that of Superior Court Judge Robert
Perry, had occasionally stopped in to listen to DNA testimony
during the Lazarus trial.
SPLENDORA, Texas The abandoned school bus had no

engine and no front wheels. But there were crude curtains in the
windows, an air conditioner and even bunk beds inside.
So when a postal worker repeatedly ran across two unkempt
children at the scene, she grew concerned and this week contacted
authorities to report that the pair had apparently been living there
for months.
Now child welfare agents are trying to unravel the story of the
siblings, a 5-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, whose parents
are in prison and whose home was a dilapidated vehicle at the end
of a muddy, one-lane road.
The postal carrier saw the kids Wednesday near Houston, and
the two were swiftly placed in foster care while authorities investigate.
The little girls hair was just matted, like a stray dogs,
Vanessa Picazo said.
The father of the pair said he never intended for the bus to be a
permanent home. He said the family had planned to build a house
at the site, which was now strewn with reeking trash.
The house is normally clean. If me or my wife were there, it
would not be in that shape, I assure you, Mark Shorten said. Our
house would be completed or almost completed.
Randal McCann, a Louisiana attorney who represented the
childrens mother prior to her imprisonment, said the aunt had
been taking care of the kids since the case against the parents was
launched more than a year ago. The kids were not enrolled in
school.
It was believed by everybody involved in this case that (the
aunt) was properly tending to those children. What I saw in the
newspaper this morning was shocking, McCann said, referring to
a report in the Houston Chronicle.
McCann said the aunt would often contact him but only to dis-
bad as those photographs, McCann said.

It was not clear how long the children had been living in the bus
and whether the aunt lived with them or simply made visits.
A spokesman for Child Protective Services said authorities were
less concerned about the bus itself than with childrens overall
well-being.
Its not the bus. Its the condition and supervision issues, spokesman Gwen Carter said, explaining that the agency understands that
poor families often must resort to dire living arrangements.
Shorten and his wife, Sherrie, were convicted of embezzling
money from victims of Hurricane Ike, which struck in 2008. The
mother was arrested in December 2010, the father in March 2011.
In a phone interview with The Associated Press from an
Oklahoma City federal prison, Mark Shorten said he had not slept
since his children were taken Wednesday.
Shorten said an aunt who was asked to watch the kids couldnt
keep up, and he blamed the garbage blanketing his property on
neighbors dumping their trash there.
Sherrie Shorten is scheduled to be released next month.
Im coming home in 30 days to be able to take care of my
kids, she said from a separate federal prison in Lake Charles, La.
An AP reporter visited the site Thursday. The bus appeared to
have electricity, and outside there was a small propane tank and
homemade grill.
A woman who was in the bus declined to identify herself and
told the reporter to leave.
The Shortens said the bus also has hot and cold running water,
including a shower and flush toilets, as well as heat and closets.
Picazo said her latest visit to the bus was not the first time she
was worried about the children. Once when she needed a signature
for a package, the 11-year-old girl volunteered. But when Picazo
handed her the signature slip, the girl confessed she didnt know
how to sign her name.
Colo killer wouldnt be NYPD docs: Focus scrutiny

let go under current laws on Muslim Americans
By P. SOLOMON BANDA
Associated Press
DENVER Vincent Groves was released from prison on

mandatory parole in 1987, having served five years for strangling
a 17-year-old girl. Three years later, he was back, this time for two
more murders, and would eventually die behind bars.
Investigators long believed Groves was responsible for at least
three additional murders, and possibly more, while he was walking the streets of Denver and its suburbs after his 1987 release.
Now, 16 years after his death, theyve been able to confirm
their suspicions in at least one of those slayings. Authorities
believe he killed at least two other women after his release, based
in part on evidence that they were strangled.
If he were convicted of a similar strangling today, chances are
Groves would have been behind bars when those killings happened.
Theyre not letting anybody out now, said David Wymore,
a former state public defender who represented Groves in the late
1980s. Nothing from Groves case can transcend into today. Its
a whole different world.
As authorities investigate more old murder cases, they are finding links to Groves. Through DNA, they believe he killed three
people in 1979, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey said.
They believe he could be responsible for up to 20 slayings in all.
Many of those killings happened between 1979 and 1988.
Groves was arrested for the killing of teenager Tammy Woodrum
in 1981.
His wife at the time had convinced him to turn himself in.
Groves then showed up at a suburban Denver police department
with Woodrums body in a camper. Groves told his wife at the
time that he accidently shot her.
Groves said he and the teenager had left for a fishing trip in
the mountains west of Denver when Woodrum overdosed on
cocaine.
He said he panicked and tried to make the scene look like a
robbery and at one point had taken Woodrums body out, tied
her hands and then tried to make it look like she had been raped.
An autopsy determined she had been strangled, apparently with
a ligature.
Prosecutors placed him on trial for first-degree murder, but
a jury convicted him of second-degree murder and gave him a
12-year sentence.
At the time, the Colorado Gorsuch Bill of 1979 mandated
parole for inmates, Groves included, after they served a fixed percentage of their sentence. Groves got out after serving five years.
Sentencing reform in Colorado that began in the mid-1980s
ensures that inmates spend decades in prison, especially for
crimes of violence.
The changes in Colorado followed President Ronald Reagans
signing of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, which established
minimum sentences for federal offenders, and is widely seen in
legal circles as a move away from a focus on inmate rehabilitation
to sentences in proportion to the crime.
Today, a second-degree murder conviction in Colorado carries
a minimum sentence of 16 years, with a maximum of 48 years.
A prisoner doesnt become parole eligible until theyve served at
least 75 percent of their time, Wymore said.
Unlike the 1980s when release happened automatically, today
an inmate goes before a parole board.
First-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence, with
death the maximum penalty.
As an example of how the system worked in the early 1980s,
before Groves went to prison for Woodrums slaying, he was
released from custody while his case was appealed, Morrissey
said.
Groves stopped to pick up a prostitute in an area of metro
Denver historically known for prostitution, but the undercover
police officer on a sting operation recognized him and wouldnt
get in the car with him, Morrissey said.

NEW YORK The New York Police Department kept

secret files on businesses owned by second- and third-generation Americans specifically because they were Muslims,
according to newly obtained documents that spell out in the
clearest terms yet that police were monitoring people based
on religion.
The NYPD has faced intense criticism from Muslims, lawmakers and even the FBI for widespread spying operations
that put entire neighborhoods under surveillance. Police put
the names of innocent people in secret files and monitored
the mosques, student groups and businesses that make up the
Muslim landscape of the northeastern U.S.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has defended his
departments efforts, saying they have kept the city safe, were
completely legal and were not based on religion.
We dont stop to think about the religion, Bloomberg said
at a news conference in August after The Associated Press
began revealing the spying. We stop to think about the threats
and focus our efforts there.
In late 2007, however, plainclothes officers in the departments secretive Demographics Unit were assigned to investigate the regions Syrian population. Police photographed
businesses and eavesdropped at lunch counters and inside grocery stores and pastry shops. The resulting document listed no
threat. And though most people of Syrian heritage living in the
area were Jewish, Jews were excluded from the monitoring.
This report will focus on the smaller Muslim community,
the report said.
Similarly, police excluded the citys sizable Coptic Christian
population when photographing, monitoring and eavesdropping on Egyptian businesses in 2007, according to the police
files.
