NEVER MIND: NO FALL VOTE FOR B.C.
VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)
British Columbia’s premier has for the first time ruled out a fall election campaign after months of hinting the province could be heading to the polls soon. Instead, Premier Christy Clark’s office said yesterday that the next vote will be held according to the province’s fixed election law in May 2013. Clark was not available to explain her decision. Clark was sworn in as premier in March after winning the Liberal leadership, and at the time Clark said she’d prefer a campaign before the fixed election date. Last week, the government suffered a major defeat after voters rejected the harmonized sales tax, an outcome that some pundits have speculated would have dampened the premier’s eagerness to head to the polls. Immediately after the referendum results were released, Clark still kept the door open but insisted she wanted to focus on jobs, not election speculation. But now her office says an early election is off the table. The leader of the Opposition NDP, Adrian Dix, blamed Clark for fuelling “disruptive” election speculation. “Her only consideration was her position in the polls – not the public interest, not the issues facing British Columbia,” Dix told reporters last night. “Ms. Clark has not responded to the key issues facing British Columbia. Instead, she has engaged in a perpetual election campaign that has brought disarray in her government.”

EX-NHL TOUGH GUY BELAK DEAD AT 35
TORONTO (Canadian Press)
Former NHL enforcer Wade Belak has been found dead. A Nashville Predators spokesman confirmed last night Belak was found dead in Toronto. He was 35. Specific details were not immediately available. But Toronto police confirmed they were called to a downtown hotel/condo in the early afternoon and are still investigating the matter. Belak spent the past three seasons with the Predators prior to retiring over the summer.
Belak was in Toronto to film the latest season of the CBC show Battle of the Blades. The six-foot-five, 222-pound Belak spent parts of 14 seasons in the NHL with Nashville, Florida, Toronto, Calgary and Colorado. He was taken in the first round, 12th overall, in the ‘94 NHL entry draft by the Quebec Nordiques. Belak, who collected eight goals and 1,263 career penalty minutes, is the third NHL tough guy to die this summer. Derek Boogard, a 28-year-old forward with the Minnesota Wild, was found dead May 13 at his Minneapolis apartment due to an accidental mix of alcohol and the painkiller oxycodone. Then on Aug. 15, forward Rick Rypien of the Winnipeg Jets was found dead in his off-season home in Crowsnest Pass, Alta., at the age of 27.

DISPUTES CAST SHADOW ON UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)
A work-to-rule campaign by public school teachers, set to begin on the first day of school, is only one dispute expected in education in the coming year. The B.C. Teachers Federation confirmed yesterday it will file strike notice to take effect Tuesday morning. The BCTF says phase one will be to refuse administrative duties such as meeting with principals, supervising playgrounds and writing report cards. The union and the employers’ association are far apart on a range of issues, including salary and a list of benefit improvements sought by the BCTF. One major point in dispute is the meaning of a B.C. Supreme Court decision handed down this spring on the government’s 2002 removal of class size and composition from teacher bargaining. BCTF president Susan Lambert says the decision means the government must add $336 million to the public school budget to guarantee a level of service. Education Minister George Abbott has repeatedly said any settlement must fit with the government’s “net zero” mandate that other public service unions have already accepted. Abbott said in an interview
yesterday that the BCTF is demanding “restoration of the world as it existed in 2001, and once that’s done, then they’ll start talking.” On another long-running dispute, Abbott said he hopes to have amendments ready for the fall legislature session to revamp the B.C. College of Teachers. He said the current system still allows teachers who have complaints against them to surrender their teaching certifi-
cate, avoid a disciplinary record, and then get reinstated to teach in a different district later on. A bright spot for the new school year is the completion of B.C.’s fullday kindergarten project, which is now available province-wide. There are 37,000 kindergarten students expected to enrol in the program, after a $150 million investment in classrooms and an operating budget expanded to $345 million.

KASH HEED FINED $8,000 FOR ELECTION VIOLATIONS VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)
Former B.C. solicitor general Kash Heed must pay at least $8,000 in fines for spending more than he was allowed during the 2009 provincial election campaign. Heed was forced to step down from his cabinet post last year after allegations that his campaign distributed flyers that weren’t reported to Elections BC. Elections BC ordered an audit and found Heed spent about $74,000 after the flyers were taken into account – exceeding the spending limit of $70,000. Heed later filed a revised finance report that said the total was about $75,600.
MISSING BOY FOUND TRAPPED IN NEARBY APARTMENT VANDERHOOF OMINECA EXPRESS (Black Press)
A four-year-old Vanderhoof boy who went missing from his day care facility on Aug. 22 afternoon was found safe and sound 40 minutes later. RCMP Staff-Sergeant Dave Beach said that the boy’s sitter had been outside with the boy and had gone inside for a few seconds - when she came back he was gone. One of the constables searching door-to-door heard some crying coming from an apartment. He went in and located the boy. “The little guy walked into an unlocked house and the door closed and he couldn’t get out,” said Beach.
MAYORS TO PUSH FOR TRANSLINK CONTAINER TAX JEFF NAGEL (Black Press)
A tax on each shipping container that passes through Metro Vancouver is being eyed by area mayors as one way to help finance transit expansion without digging as deeply into the wallets of local residents. With 2.5 million containers passing through the port each year, even a $10 per container tax would generate $25 million a year – more than a third of the $70 million a year TransLink needs to raise to finance both the Evergreen Line and a broader package of transit upgrades.

VANCOUVER PARKING PRICES NOT YET WORLD CLASS JEFF NAGEL (Black Press)
It may seem like it costs a fortune to park in downtown Vancouver. But a new survey of parking rates shows it’s actually a bargain here compared to many cities around the globe. Parking on average costs $20 a day in Vancouver, according to Colliers International. That’s about 25 per cent higher than the average for both Canadian and U.S. major cities. But Calgary and Toronto motorists both pay more – $25 and $23 a day respectively. And parking for the day typically runs $30 to $40 in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Honolulu. Winnipeg is the cheapest Canadian city at $9 a day, while it costs just $4 in Memphis, Tennessee. The survey found monthly parking rates average
$288 in Vancouver – more than the $236 national average but less than the prices in Calgary ($472), Toronto ($332) and Montreal ($297). And all the North American pay parking prices pale in comparison to some European and Asian cities. Londoners pay more than $1,000 a month for parking and prices are $700 or more in Zurich, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Rome and Geneva. Charles Gauthier, executive director of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, said those rates are less relevant than what’s charged elsewhere in the Lower Mainland. “I take it with a grain of salt that we’re not Calgary or Toronto,” he said. “That doesn’t really mean much when we’re competing with Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond.”

LATEST SEVERED FOOT IS HUMAN, AUTOPSY CONFIRMS VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)
An autopsy has confirmed the latest foot to wash ashore inside a running shoe in B.C. is human, says a coroner who has a mystery to solve. Stephen Fonseca said yesterday the Bum Crosby size 9 men’s runner is white and has blue trim. The foot was attached to the lower leg bones and found floating Tuesday in the water along Vancouver’s False Creek. “There was no obvious trauma to the remains,” Fonseca said. “So we’re certainly at a loss as to the cause of this.”

Jack Tobin, son of former Newfoundland premier Brian, arrives at an Ottawa court yesterday for sentencing. Judge Lise Maisonneuve said she took into account Tobin’s extreme remorse and his decision to plead guilty and forgo a trial in reaching her decision. But she also considered Tobin’s previous behaviour. Tobin’s lawyer had suggested a sentence of 18 to 30 months, while the prosecution wanted five years. Crown attorney Mark Moors said there was evidence of previous reckless acts behind the wheel and excessive alcohol consumption by Tobin.

MEMORIAL SOUGHT FOR SITE OF 1972 MONTREAL FIRE MONTREAL (Canadian Press)
It has been nearly four decades since an arson fire at a popular Montreal country and western bar killed 37 people. But for those who survived the Blue Bird Cafe blaze on Sept. 1 1972 and for the families of those who didn’t, the years have been spent suffering in silence. Survivors and relatives of victims will get together today for what is believed to be the first time to hold a candlelit vigil at the site – now a parking lot. They are demanding that a memorial be placed at the site in time for the 40th anniversary in 2012.

A British court yesterday rejected a last-ditch attempt to prevent 86 families from being evicted from an illegal travellers camp east of the capital. The High Court in London dismissed the application for a temporary injunction from lawyers representing 72-year-old camp resident Mary Flynn. Flynn’s lawyers had argued that she suffers from breathing problems, and that European law requires consideration of whether eviction was a proportionate response to her case. Residents of the camp have similar lifestyles, but are ethnically distinct from Gypsies, also known as Roma.
Forecasters say Hurricane Katia has formed in the Atlantic Ocean but that it is too early to know if it will threaten land. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said late yesterday that maximum sustained winds had whipped up to 121 kph. The centre in Miami is cautioning a U.S. public still recovering along parts of the East Coast from Irene not to stress over the storm. Katia could become a major hurricane. But it’s too soon to tell if it will ever come near land. Katia is still more than 3,000 kilometres east of the Leeward Islands.
Switzerland has ordered an independent investigation to uncover why Swiss officials ignored up to 10,000 asylum requests from Iraqi refugees. Swiss Justice Minister Simonetta Sommaruga says the applications were lodged with Swiss embassies in Syria and Egypt between 2006 and 2008. Sommaruga said yesterday that an earlier internal probe found the Federal Office of Migration had ordered the embassies not to process the requests. Sommaruga says the Iraqis were in UN refugee camps and none had come to harm. Half of the asylum applications have now been processed.
Retiring U.S. Army Gen.

He thanked those he has served with and cautioned the government not to make excessive cuts in the Pentagon budget in coming years. Petraeus will take over as CIA director on Sept. 6.

Gadhafi inner circle in tatters —
DUELLING GADHAFI SONS CALL FOR PEACE TALKS, FIGHT TO THE DEATH TRIPOLI, Libya (Associated Press)
Two men claiming to be Moammar Gadhafi’s sons made conflicting appeals from hiding last night, with one of them calling for talks with rebel leaders and the other urging the regime’s loyalists to fight to the death. The duelling messages reflected the growing turmoil in Gadhafi’s inner circle on the eve of the 42nd anniversary of his rise to power. This year, the dictator is a fugitive from opposition fighters who have seized most “We don’t mind. We of the country in a six-month are all Libyans. We civil war. Now, they say have no problem to they’re hot on his trail. give them power.” The rebels are pooling – al-Saadi Gadhafi tips about Moammar Gadhafi’s whereabouts from captured regime fighters and others, and believe he is no longer in Tripoli, said Abdel Hakim Belhaj, the rebels’ military chief in the capital. However, rebels said he is most likely in one of three regime strongholds: Sirte, Gadhafi’s home town, Bani Walid or Sabha. In telephone calls to Arab TV stations within minutes of each other last night, two men claiming to be Gadhafi’s sons sent messages to the Libyan people. A man identifying himself as Seif al-Islam Gadhafi urged his father’s supporters to fight the rebels “day and night.” He told the Syrian-based Al-Rai TV station that residents of Bani Walid agreed that “we are going to die on our land.” He said he was calling from a suburb of Tripoli and that his father “is fine.” In a separate phone call to the Al-Arabiya TV station, a man identifying himself as another Gadhafi
son, al-Saadi, said he was ready to negotiate with the rebels to stop the bloodshed. Rebel leaders have repeatedly said they won’t negotiate until Gadhafi is gone. Al-Saadi said he spoke for his father and regime military commanders in calling for talks. He said that the rebels could lead Libya. “We don’t mind. We are all Libyans,” he said. “We have no problem to give them power.”

PORTUGAL CRANKS UP DEBT REDUCTION, SPENDING CUT DRIVE LISBON, Portugal (Associated Press)
Portugal’s government plans “unprecedented” spending cuts next year to meet debt-reduction targets agreed in return for a 78 billion euro ($112.7 billion) bailout, the country’s finance minister said yesterday. Portugal has to abide by debt targets to qualify for bailout loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund, which are conducting quarterly reviews of the country’s progress before disbursing the money in portions. It previously announced it is levying a one-off tax, taking 50 per cent of workers’ Christmas Vitor Gaspar bonus, to help reach the 5.9 per cent target for the budget deficit this year. The bonus is equivalent to a month’s pay. “In 2012 we will have to make an extra effort to abide by our commitments,” Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar told reporters. A planned tax hike for top-earning individuals and companies will increase revenue. People earning more than 150,000 euros will pay an extra 2.5 per cent tax on income over that amount, while a 3 per cent levy will be imposed on company profits over 1.5 million euros.

FLOODING PERSISTS AS U.S. TRIES TO RECOVER FROM IRENE
SUSPECT ADMITS TO KILLING U.S. AIRMEN
NEWFANE, Vt. (Associated Press)
A Kosovo Albanian man confessed yesterday to killing two U.S. airmen at the Frankfurt airport, saying in emotional testimony at the opening of his trial that he had been influenced by radical Islamic propaganda online. Arid Uka, 21, is charged with two counts of murder for the March 2 slaying of Senior Airman Nicholas J. Alden, 25, from South Carolina, and Airman 1st Class Zachary R. Cuddeback, 21, from Virginia. He also faces three counts of attempted murder in connection with the wounding of two others and for taking aim “To this day I try at another person before to understand what his gun jammed. happened and why I Although Germany did it ... but I don’t has experienced scores understand.” of terrorist attacks in – Murder suspect past decades, largely from Arid Uka leftist groups like the Red Army Faction, the airport attack was the first attributed to an Islamic extremist. Uka went to the airport with the intent “to kill an indeterminate number of American soldiers, but if possible a large number,” prosecutor Herbert Deimer told a state court in Frankfurt. No pleas are entered in the German system, and Uka confessed to the killings after the indictment was read, telling the court “what I did was wrong but I cannot undo what I did.” He went on to urge other radical Muslims not to seek inspiration in his attack, urging them not to be taken in by “lying propaganda” on the Internet.
States along the Eastern Seaboard struggled with the after-effects of Irene, the destructive hurricane-turned-tropical storm, with homes and businesses still threatened by floodwaters and more than two million people still without power. Floodwaters continued to ravage parts of northern New Jersey and Connecticut yesterday, although some rivers crested and slowly receded. The storm took at least five lives in the Caribbean before hitting the United States, where it has has been blamed for at least 44 deaths in 13 states. Denise Ruzicka, director of inland water resources for Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, said flood control dams and basins that New England states installed after 1955 floods helped prevent a catastrophe in the lower Connecticut River basin. She said all the rivers in the state will be receding by the end of the week. “The worst is over,” she said. Recovery efforts saw people moving out of emergency shelters in western Massachusetts, farmers in New York’s battered Schoharie Valley assessing crop losses and an insurance agent in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, fielding dozens of calls from customers making damage claims.
FRANKFURT, Germany (Associated Press)
“To this day I try to understand what happened and why I did it ... but I don’t understand,” he said. Uka described becoming increasingly introverted in the months before the attack, staying at home and watching Islamic extremist propaganda on the Internet. The night before the crime, Uka said that he followed a link to a video posted on Facebook that purported to show American soldiers raping a teenage Muslim girl. It turned out to be a scene from the 2007 anti-war Brian De Palma film Redacted, taken out of context. He said he then decided he should do anything possible to prevent more U.S. soldiers from going to Afghanistan. “I thought what I saw in that video, these people would do in Afghanistan,” he told the court, his voice choking with emotion as he wiped away tears.

APPROVED FOR CANADIAN RADIO TORONTO (Canadian Press)
A Canadian broadcast watchdog says its decision to deem a 1985 Dire Straits smash unfit for radio just ain’t workin’. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has tempered a ruling on Money For Nothing, which includes the word “faggot,” saying that while the homophobic slur in the song is inappropriate, it must be taken in context and that individual radio stations can decide what listeners want to hear. “The (council) wishes to make perfectly clear to those persons who have commended the CBSC for its ‘brave’ position regarding the disapproval of the hateful and painful term that it is not abandoning that position,” states the decision, released yesterday. “It is only saying that there may be circumstances in which even words designating unacceptably negative portrayal may be acceptable because of their contextual usage.” On Jan. 12, the council responded to a listener in St. John’s, N.L., who was offended by the song’s lyrics. The regional Atlantic panel of the council subsequently ruled that the song contravened the human rights clauses of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ Code of Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code. When a public backlash ensued, the CRTC asked
the council to review its decision. The song’s writer, Mark Knopfler, has long maintained that he was writing from the perspective of a “bonehead” who he observed in a hardware store watching MTV, reacting with disgust to the fledgling network’s flamboyant rock stars. The council simply hadn’t taken such context into account when making its original decision, said the organization’s national chair Ron Cohen. The song was a massive hit upon its release in ‘85, winning a Grammy, reaching No. 1 on the charts in Canada and the U.S. and spawning a famous video that featured crude computer animation and became a staple on MTV.

Before joining NBC’s The Voice, Adam Levine says some folks assumed he was some “singing bimbo that likes girls.” So he’s grateful to the show for providing a bit of clarification on his image. “It was a nice opportunity to show my personality – that I have a brain,” said the lead singer of Maroon 5. The singing competition was a hit in its first season. The Voice helped showcase the playful and sillier side of the heavily-inked Levine. Band keyboardist Jesse Carmichael says Levine’s presence on the show “was so positive for him definitely as a person, but for us as a band, too.” Now, the group is taking advantage of the buzz: They recently released Moves Like Jagger, and it has reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It also hit No. 1 on the European and Canadian charts. The dance song is a departure for the pop-rockers, and they say they’re rushing to get a new album out this fall. In the past, the group released an album every three or four years. “We’re going to make it as quickly as we can (and) ride this wave of momentum,” Levine said.

in a statement. The Real Housewives franchise is one of the key factors in Bravo’s success as a cable network. Begun in 2006 with a short-run series focusing on the lives of a group of women in Orange County, Calif., the series branched out to separate editions with women in New York, New Jersey and Atlanta. Last year Bravo aired The Real Housewives of DC, which featured Michaele Salahi, who briefly became famous as an uninvited guest at a White House party. Unlike the other five cities, the Washington edition is not returning. Berwick wasn’t immediately available to talk about the network’s thoughts behind sticking with the series. Networks have taken different approaches when cast members made unpleasant headlines: VH1 cancelled two series that Ryan Jenkins was involved in after he was charged with murdering his ex-wife and then committed suicide. The series Celebrity Rehab has continued after two of its cast members died after their editions aired. ADD YOUR

BLOCKBUSTER CLOSING REMAINING CANADIAN STORES TORONTO (Canadian Press)
The receiver in charge of selling Blockbuster Canada is seeking a court order to shut down the movie rental company’s 253 remaining retail locations, saying it had been unable to ďŹ nd a buyer in an intensely competitive environment. About 150 Blockbuster Canada stores were closed in June, victims of a shift to digital downloads, a tepid economy and new ownership of the U.S. Blockbuster chain. The receiver said the closure process should begin in the next few days, and existing gift cards and rewards programs will no longer be accepted. A court hearing to consider the closure is scheduled for next Tuesday. Each Blockbuster store employs about 10 people, meaning roughly 2,500 people could be out of work. An estimated 1,400 people lost their jobs during the ďŹ rst round of store closures earlier this summer.

The bank said earnings were equivalent to $1.89 per share, compared with $640 million or $1.53 a year ago. The results were signiďŹ cantly higher than analysts predicted, with cash earnings at $1.91 per share, 10 cents above expectations according to a poll by Thomson Reuters. CIBC also said it would boost its quarterly dividend by three cents to 90 cents per share, its ďŹ rst increase since August 2007.

CUP FRUSTRATION STINGS OVER SHORT SUMMER: DANIEL SEDIN
VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)
It was a short summer for training, but a long few months for Daniel Sedin to deal with the pain and frustration of losing in the Stanley Cup final. The Vancouver Canuck forward says it still hurts to think about his team’s 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL final. “For a couple of weeks afterwards you think about it every day,” Sedin said yesterday after skating with several other players at a local arena. “You try to think what went wrong. “It was a tough time. You get stronger from that too. If we learned a few lessons, I think we will be ready for this year.” Sedin said he was both physically and mentally drained by the marathon playoff run. “The days after it was tough to get out of bed,” he said. “It’s a weird feeling. “You have to do it. You can’t really take any time off.” Like the rest of his teammates, Sedin didn’t have much time to lick his wounds. He started training again for the upcoming season just two weeks after the playoffs ended on June 15. Normally Sedin would take more than three weeks off. The last few Canuck seasons have ended in May.
“You are used to working out for a longer period of time,” he said. “I liked it. It was short and hard. I think everyone is eager to get back.” Other Canucks at the workout were defenceman Alex Edler and forward Marco Sturm, who was signed as a free agent. Sedin’s twin brother Henrik is expected to arrive in Vancouver Friday. Last season saw Vancouver advance to the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 17 years. Sedin knows it will be a hard act to repeat. “I realize just getting to the playoffs is hard enough,” he said. “If we take 15 games off, we’re out of it. That’s how tight this league is.” The twins struggled in the final. Daniel had one goal and three assists in seven games. Henrik, the Canucks’ captain, led the playoffs with 19 assists but didn’t manage one against the Bruins. Daniel Sedin said he knows that will give the brothers’ critics more ammunition. “We didn’t produce the way we wanted to produce,” he said. “Our only chance is to produce. “If we don’t do that, we’re losers. That’s the way it is.”

B.C.’S VASEK POSPISIL MOVES ON AFTER U.S. OPEN VICTORY NEW YORK (Canadian Press)
Vasek Pospisil is starting to feel like he belongs among the world’s top tennis players. GRAND The native of Vernon, B.C. won the SLAM first Grand Slam match of his career yesterday by crushing Lukas Rosol 6-1, WIN 6-2, 6-1 to reach the second round of the U.S. Open. Pospisil needed just 82 minutes to dispatch the Czech after converting on seven of 13 break point chances. “This is my second slam, so I’m still new to the scene,” he said. “It takes a little bit of getting comfortable with these guys. “In the past maybe it wasn’t like that for me. But that is changing fast. I feel like I belong out there.” He’ll face No. 25 seed Feliciano Lopez in the second round. The Spaniard was a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon in July. “He will be tough, they’re all tough at this level,” said Pospisil, who is ranked 143rd in the world. “But I’ve been playing well for the last couple of months so I’m looking forward to it. I’m confident.” The 21-year-old is coming off a win over Argentine Juan Chela at the Rogers Cup earlier this month. He exited the Montreal tournament with a second-round loss to Roger Federer. Against Rosol on Wednesday, Popisil piled on 13 aces and 13 winners. He also fended off six break points. He’s the lone Canadian singles player left in the tournament.
OHL CHANGES SHOULDER PADS AND ELBOW PADS TORONTO (Canadian Press)
The Ontario Hockey League is instituting equipment changes designed to make the game safer. The league announced yesterday that all players must wear soft cap shoulder and elbow pads for the upcoming season. The change came after a review of safety issues and is designed to “limit the number of head injuries suffered each season,” according to the league. Popular hockey commentator Don Cherry has urged the NHL to adopt a similar rule for years during his Coach’s Corner segment on Hockey Night in Canada. The OHL’s board of governors has also vowed to hand out more punishment to players who repeatedly get caught throwing checks to the head. The regular season starts on Sept. 21. Among the other changes announced yesterday was the creation of a rule that forbids goalies from leaving their crease to fight another goalie. Violators will receive a game misconduct and automatic two-game suspension.

MCILROY SAYS HIS GIRLFRIEND CAN HELP HIM REACH NO. 1
U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy believes his relationship with top-ranked tennis player Caroline Wozniacki can help him become the No. 1 player in golf. After spending two “great” weeks together in the U.S., McIlroy thinks he and the 21-year-old from Denmark can be good for each other’s careers. “I think we definitely spur each

I want to become the best player in the world.” McIlroy made the comments ahead of the European Masters, his first tournament since injuring his right arm at the PGA Championship Rory McIlroy three weeks ago. While recuperating, the 22-year-old was by Wozniacki’s side at tournaments in Cincinnati and New Haven ahead of bidding for a first Grand

Slam title at the U.S. Open. McIlroy said he was impressed with Wozniacki’s dedication, and picked up pointers for improving his game. “She’s got a great work ethic and it’s something I can probably learn a lot from,” he said. “It’s a lot more physically demanding than golf,” McIlroy said. “They do put the work in, they really do. It’s just amazing how they can get up each morning and keep doing the same thing, putting their bodies through that.”

PANEL: U.S. WASTED $60B IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WASHINGTON (Associated Press)
SARKOZY DENIES TAKING ILLEGAL CASH FROM L’OREAL HEIRESS PARIS (Associated Press)
French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s office vigorously denied claims in a new book that he personally took undeclared campaign cash from the heiress to the L’Oreal cosmetics fortune five years ago – claims that come just as the race for next year’s presidential elections is heating up. Sarkozy’s allies suggested the accusations are a campaign ploy against the unpopular president. Similar accusations first surfaced last year. An accountant for Bettencourt said a year ago that she gave 50,000 euros ($72,000) in cash in 2007 to Sarkozy’s party treasurer for the presidential campaign – well beyond the 4,600-euro legal limit on individual donations. The accusations surfaced during a series of investigations into the heiress’ finances. A book being released today suggests that Sarkozy himself received undeclared campaign money. The book, Sarko m’a tuer (Sarko killed me), quotes investigating judge Isabelle Prevost-Desprez as saying a witness she questioned “told me that he had seen cash handed over to Sarko,” a nickname used for Sarkozy.
As much as $60 billion in U.S. tax dollars has been lost to waste and fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade due to lax oversight of contractors, poor planning and corruption, according to an independent panel. In its final report to Congress to be publicly released yesterday, the Commission on Wartime Contracting said the losses could grow as U.S. support for reconstruction projects and programs wanes, leaving Iraq and Afghanistan to bear the long-term costs of sustaining the schools, medical clinics, barracks, roads and power plants already built with American money. Government agencies should overhaul the way they award and manage contracts in war zones so they don’t repeat the mistakes made in Iraq and Afghanistan, the commission said. Among the report’s 15 recommendations are the creation of an inspector general to monitor contracting during contingency operations and the appointment of a senior government official to improve planning and co-ordination. The commission cited numerous examples of waste, including a $360
million U.S.-financed agricultural development program in Afghanistan. The effort began as a $60 million project in 2009 to distribute vouchers for wheat seed and fertilizer in drought-stricken areas of northern Afghanistan. The program expanded into the south and east. Soon the U.S. was spending a $1 million a day on the program, creating an environment ripe for waste and abuse, the commission said. “Paying villagers for what they

used to do voluntarily destroyed local initiatives and diverted project goods into Pakistan for resale,” the commission said. The Afghan insurgency’s second largest funding source after the illegal drug trade is the diversion of money from U.S.-backed construction projects and transportation contracts, according to the commission. But the report does not say how much money has been funneled to the insurgency. The money typically is lost when insurgents and warlords threaten Afghan subcontractors with violence unless they pay for protection, according to the report.
