House rejects farm bill 234-195

BY MARY CLARE JALONICK WASHINGTON (AP) — The House rejected a five-year, halftrillion-dollar farm bill Thursday that would have cut $2 billion annually from food stamps and let states impose broad new work requirements on those who receive them.

Those cuts weren’t deep enough for many Republicans who objected to the cost of the nearly $80 billion-a-year food stamp program, which has doubled in the past five years. The

vote was 234-195 against the bill, with 62 Republicans voting against it.

The bill also suffered from lack of Democratic support necessary for the traditionally bipartisan farm bill to pass. Only 24 Democrats voted in favor of the legislation after many said the food stamp cuts could remove as many as 2 million needy recipients from the rolls.

The addition of the optional state work requirements by Republican amendment just before final passage turned away

many remaining Democratic votes the bill’s supporters may have had.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and No. 2 Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland, both of whom voted for the bill, immediately took to the House floor and blamed the other’s party for the defeat.

Cantor said it was a “disappointing day,” and Democrats had been a “disappointing player.”

Hoyer suggested that Republicans voted for the food stamp

work requirements to tank the bill.

“What happened today is you turned a bipartisan bill, necessary for our farmers, necessary for our consumers, necessary for the people of America, that many of us would have supported, and you turned it into a partisan bill.”

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, ROkla., has argued the bill is necessary to avoid farm crises of the past and that it has some of the biggest reforms in years.

The measure would have saved around $4 billion after new subsidies were created for crop insurance, rice and peanut farmers.

Just before the vote, Lucas pleaded with his colleagues’ support, saying that if the measure didn’t pass people would use it as an example of a dysfunctional Congress.

“If it fails today I can’t guarantee you’ll see in this Congress another attempt,” he said.

“It’s an opportunity for the students to get a diluted version of many of the programs we offer here at the Upper Valley Career Center,” Trapp said. “It’s an opportunity for them to expand their thinking patterns.

It’s something they can do instead of staying inside and playing video games. A lot of our activities take place outdoors.”

Trapp said, thankfully, the weather this week was great and the kids enjoyed many of the outdoor activities, including shooting off air-pressurized rockets and building a terrarium.

“We have been very lucky this week with all of the great weather,” Trapp said.

He added that among the favorite activities this week among the children were cosmetology and junior chef.

Fellow Camp Excel Co-Director Andrew Snyder, also the career center’s recruitment coordinator, said the program is designed to build interest in science and technology while at the same time developing critical-thinking skills.

Pilot returns to Dayton Air Show

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer jdavis@civitasmedia.com Dayton has long held a special place in Sean D. Tucker’s heart, so it’s no surprise he’s jazzed about coming back to an aviation hot spot.

He’s made several appearances at the annual air show, and fondly recalls his induction into the National Aviation Hall of Fame during a 2008 ceremony in Dayton.

But the legendary pilot is just

as keen to catch up with people on the ground when he comes to town, sort of like a family reunion.

A BIG family reunion.

“It’s such a beautiful community, and it’s a true aviation aficionado’s place to go,” said Tucker, who will fly Saturday and Sunday in the 39th annual Dayton Air Show at Dayton International Airport. “As a performer, it’s an honor to be invited to come here.”

cinated by the topics and enjoy the active learning process,” Snyder said.

Gwen Rose, a Camp Excel instructor, said she has spent the week teaching the children about cooking and the culinary arts.

Her students made everything from homemade cheese crackers to ravioli and learned about things such as vegetarians to how to read nutritional information labels on food products.

Rose said one of the more interesting things about Camp Excel activities is how much fun the kids were having, perhaps without realizing how much they were learning.

“They made homemade ice cream and learned how the salt and the ice can burn you,” she said. “So they are learning about chemistry while making ice cream.”

She added one dish the children seemed to love was the cauliflower pizza dough the kids made earlier this week.

While Camp Excel has taken place over the last several years at UVCC, the fun-filled summer event was canceled last year while renovations were taking place at the career center.

his favorite activity this week at Camp Excel was the computer animation class because he enjoys being around and working with computers.

“I’ve had so much fun this week,” Gibson said.

“The computer animation is my favorite. It’s just been so much fun.”

Fellow Camp Excel student Maia Stump, 12, of Bradford, has attended Camp Excel for four years and she said she loves

being apart of it every year.

“I really like the junior chef class,” Stump said.

“That’s because you get to cook and be creative and make what you want.”

“I have a very close relationship with the people here at Hartzell … and also with the neighborhood and the surrounding community,” he said.

“We’ve gotten to be very good friends with them.

It’s kind of like a homecoming for me.”

Well, if coming to town feels like a big family gathering, Tucker is definitely the favorite uncle from out-of-town who commands everyone’s attention.

Tucker — who has been dazzling air show patrons for years with his cuttingedge maneuvers — provides rides for a local community “hero” at select cities in which he performs. He’s in Dayton this week for the 39th annual Dayton Air Show, where he’s scheduled to fly Saturday and Sunday.

Saxe, a surgeon certified in general surgery

Fame inductee, and in 2010 received the General Charles E. Yeager International Aeronautical Achievement Award. And on air show days, he’s known for presenting a carefully choreographed routine in which he pushes his bright red Oracle Challenger III biplane to the limit.

“Fans are going to see a guy very in tune with his flying machine doing very elegant — but at the same time extreme — aerobatic moves that only model airplanes do. I’m really excited to show off some of these new front flips and twirls,” he said. “This is my fourth season with this airplane … so it’s been quite a journey to learn how to fly this machine. I have close to 3,000 flights in this plane, so I’m

really getting to know her.”

Tucker said he practices up to three times per day, but admits even he can get nervous from time to time.

“A performance is something that is close to your heart. So when you get in front of an audience, no matter how many times you do it, you’re nervous,” he said. “But I love the feeling. What you’re searching for is perfection.

And when you pull it off correctly, it’s a big rush.

It’s a huge adrenaline rush.”

And once he’s done flying a show, the 61-year-old California native is just as comfortable on the ground mingling with air show fans as he is in the sky. “(The fans) are the reason I’m able to have this

Tucker said that dedication and desire to make the world a better place fit right in with the concept behind the Legends program.

“It’s just a way to acknowledge great people in the community,” he explained. “We take firemen, police, little kids that have

done something extra ordinary. I think it’s very important to honor our heroes on all levels.

“It gives me an hour to share what’s magical about life and share my part of the sky with them,” he continued. “It’s just a way to say thank you.”

Saxe said he was both thrilled and humbled to be chosen for the ride.

“It’s very humbling to be given an opportunity to fly with somebody who has such a tremendous reputation and in such a prestigious air show,” Saxe said. “(Dayton) is the place for flight, so to even be here is humbling.”

Just after the vote, Lucas told reporters the vote “turned out to be a heavier lift even than I expected.”

Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the senior Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, said he believes the work requirements and a vote that scuttled a proposed dairy overhaul turned too many lawmakers against the measure.

“I had a bunch of people come up to me and say I was with you but this is it, I’m done,” Peterson said after the vote.

Death notices Boehner, R-Ohio, voted for the bill, but Boehner supported the dairy amendment and Cantor supported the amendment that imposed the work requirements.

Lucas and Peterson had warned that adoption of those amendments could contribute to the bill’s downfall.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed its version of the farm bill last week, with about $2.4 billion a year in overall cuts and a $400 million annual decrease in food stamps onefifth of the House bill’s food stamp cuts. If the two chambers cannot come together on a bill, farm-state

lawmakers are likely to push for an extension of the 2008 farm bill that expires in September.

Though passage has been in the balance all week, the final vote against the bill was larger than many expected.

When the final vote count was read, House Democrats cheered loudly, led by members of the Congressional Black Caucus who had fought the food stamp cuts.

The defeat is also a major victory for conservative taxpayer groups and environmental groups who have unsuccessfully worked against the bill for years. Those groups have

aggressively lobbied lawmakers in recent weeks, hoping to capitalize on the more than 200 new members of the House since the last farm bill passed five years ago. Many of those new members are conservative Republicans who replaced moderate rural Democrats who had championed farm policy.

Those groups were emboldened after the vote.

“We need to put farm subsidies on a path to elimination and we need to devolve food stamps to the state level where they belong,” said Chris Chocola, president of the conservative advocacy group Club for Growth.

More Cats Meows available PIQUA — During the past several years, Mainstreet Piqua has been generating lots of different kinds of collectibles for the Piqua community including mugs, playing cards, ornaments and puzzles, but the Cat’s Meow collectibles have been a huge boost for the downtown group’s fundraising efforts.

Cat’s Meow Collectibles are exact replicas of a building or landmark on a silkscreened, customshaped piece of wood. The first Cat’s Meow put out

by Mainstreet Piqua was the Fort Piqua Plaza, which was made available for the building’s dedication in October 2009. Since then, Mainstreet Piqua produced Cat’s Meows of several city landmarks including the Municipal Govern-

Piqua Y to offer Tai Chi class PIQUA — Join Fred and Linda Verceles as they introduce class participants to Tai Chi for a 4-week session from 7-8 p.m. beginning Monday, July 1.

The Verceles couple have been teaching Tai Chi for nine years. “We are excited to bring this class to the Piqua YWCA,” they said. “Studies show that Tai Chi increases one’s balance by as much as 50 percent,” Verceles said.

“Tai Chi started out in 12th century China. Its techniques aim to address the body and mind as an interconnected system and are traditionally believed to have mental and physical health benefits to improve posture, balance, flexibility and strength,” Verceles said. “Tai Chi accumulates energy and leaves you refreshed and relaxed when you finish.

The graceful, slow speed of our styles, coupled with an emphasis on deep breathing and mental focus creates balance, flexibility and calmness which relieves stress and allows for the integration of your mind and body.”

For more information on class fees or registration, stop at the YWCA Piqua at 418 N. Wayne St., call 937-773-6626 or email info@ywcapiqua.com.

After Mainstreet Piqua produced several Cat’s Meow collectibles of city landmarks, the organization turned its attention to replicas of local schools including Favorite Hill. ment Complex, Hance Pavilion, the Gazebo and the Piqua Veteran’s Memorial.

Most recently the organization turned its attention to the Piqua City School buildings including Washington, Springcreek, Bennett and Wilder. The newest collectibles became available in May and they are Favorite Hill School and Nicklin Avenue School.

In addition to being available at the Mainstreet Piqua office, the

Cat’s Meow collectibles can be purchased at Readmore’s Hallmark, 430 N. Main St. and Apple Tree Gallery, 405 N. Main St. All the Cat’s Meow pieces are $20 each, with the exception of the Gazebo, which is $15.

Commentary

Engines for economic prosperity epublican support for immigration reform focuses mainly on political self-interest. Since 71 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent ofAsians voted Democratic last November,it’s easy to see why smart Republicans are so concerned.

As Ron Bonjean, a prominent GOP strategist, told Reuters: “If Republicans refuse to pass comprehensive immigration reform, we will become obsolete as a party within 10 years.”

But there is another compelling reason for Republicans to get behind the immigration bill now on the Senate floor.That measure -- which would eventually legalize millions of undocumented foreigners and attract thousands of highly-educated scientists and entrepreneurs — strongly encourages economic growth. And that’s exactly the goal Republicans say is their top priority.

Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and possible presidential contender, made this precise point in a recent speech. “Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans,” he said.“Immigrants are more fertile ... and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine for economic prosperity.”

He’s right. We need immigrants as much as they need us. Reforming the current system is not just an act of charity or humanity. It is an act of national self-interest.

A recent report from the STEVE AND COKIE U.S. Census Bureau forceROBERTS fully reinforces this point.

Columnists For the 12 months ending July 1, 2012, more nonHispanic whites died in America than were born. That has not happened in at least a century and signals a long-term shift in the structure of the American economy.

“Today’s racial and ethnic minorities will no longer be dependent on older whites for their economic well-being,” William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, toldThe NewYorkTimes.The census data,he asserted, “makes more vivid than ever the fact that we will be reliant on younger minorities and immigrants for our future demographic and economic growth.”

Republican hardliners continue to repeat the same old tired slogans: that a path to citizenship rewards lawbreakers, hurts American workers and drains the Treasury.

If they want to commit the sort of political suicide Bonjean describes,then fine,that’s up to them.But they are wrong on the facts, and their position threatens the economic wellbeing of the rest of us. Here’s why.

Start with the nature of the immigrant workforce.As the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank put it: “Immigrants have different skills and job preferences from native-born Americans, so they ... complement rather than substitute for native-born workers.”

Specifically, immigrants earn fewer high school diplomas than established Americans, but more doctorates, particularly in the sciences. Lots of fruit pickers and computer programmers. As a result, the report concludes, “Immigrants increase economic efficiency by reducing labor shortages in low- and high-skilled markets.” True, there is some competition for entry-level jobs between newcomers and natives, but “the economy as a whole gains, with substantially more winners than losers.”

When immigrants become legalized, they earn higher incomes and pay more in taxes. Once they no longer have to hide, they can go to school, improve their language skills, qualify for better jobs, move more freely to seek work and bargain more effectively with their employers.

A study from the Center for American Progress, which leans left, estimates that legalization would increase immigrant incomes by 15 percent over 10 years. That translates into $392 billion in additional earnings and $109 billion in additional taxes.The Congressional Budget Office says this surge in economic activity would cut the federal deficit by close to $1 trillion over the next two decades.

And that’s not the only benefit.Young immigrant workers can help shore up Social Security as aging baby boomers start retiring and stressing the system. “If undocumented immigrants acquire legal status,” reports the Center for American Progress,“they will contribute far more to the Social Security system than they will take out and will strengthen the solvency of Social Security over the next 36 years.”

As Jeb Bush points out, immigrants are far more likely to create businesses than established Americans.Attention focuses on the most visible examples — Google, Intel, eBay — but Korean greengrocers and Mexican landscapers also hire workers and generate economic activity.

Finally, the Senate bill would vastly increase the visas available for foreign-born scientists and engineers. These folks are so valuable to any economy that Canada recently erected billboards in Silicon Valley, urging discontented techies to move north if they were having legal troubles in the U.S. If Republicans are really serious about what they say, if they really believe in economic growth, then they should enthusiastically support immigration reform.

Politics

Booker’s bumps NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — In an accelerated election for a new U.S. senator from New Jersey, the Democratic field is Cory Booker vs. everyone else.

The Newark mayor’s name recognition and deeppocketed pals would give him an advantage in any statewide race. But the charismatic Booker — who clearly has national political ambitions and has spent significant time raising his profile on social media and giving speeches around the country — may be more familiar to talk show viewers than to New Jersey voters.

His ride to Washington got bumpier when the election was moved up a year because of Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s death this month.

Booker, 44, hasn’t raised as much money as he hoped. He hasn’t finished his second term in Newark, something he promised to do when he decided not to Gov. Chris challenge Christie’s re-election bid.

And he didn’t have time to try to discourage other Democrats from competing against him in a party primary.

Booker is still the oddson favorite to win the Aug. 13 primary, which is akin to coronation because a Republican hasn’t held the seat for more than 40 years.

One recent poll had him up by 40 points among other Democrats. It also showed him well ahead of the likely Republican challenger, former Americans for Prosperity state director Steve Lonegan, in the Oct. 16 general election, which will settle the seat for a year.

As few as 200,000 voters could decide the outcome, an anticipated turnout so low it adds to the uncertainty.

It’s almost certain that Booker, a Stanford graduate and Rhodes scholar who grew up in the New York suburb of Harington Park, N.J., will be criticized during the primary for his fastpaced ambitions.

Elizabeth Taylor’s first wedding dress up for sale LONDON (AP) — The gown Elizabeth Taylor wore at the first of her eight weddings is for sale. You’ll need at least 30,000 pounds ($47,000) to buy it and a tiny waist to wear it.

Christie’s auction house is offering the seed pearl-encrusted satin dress — complete with waist-cinching built-in corset — designed by costume designer Helen Rose.

Taylor was 18 when she wore the gown to marry hotel heir Conrad “Nicky” Hilton Jr. in May 1950 — an event, studio MGM boasted, attended by“more stars than there are in heaven.”

The couple divorced months later and Taylor went on to wed seven more times.She died in 2011,aged 79.

The dress will be sold June 26, with an estimated price of 30,000 pounds to 50,000 pounds ($47,000 to $78,000)

Dolce and Gabbana convicted of tax evasion MILAN (AP) — A Milan court on Wednesday convicted the designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana of tax evasion.

They were found guilty of failing to declare 200 million euros ($268 million) through a Luxembourg company to authorities and given a one year and eight months suspended jail sentence. They were ordered to pay a penalty of 500,000 euros (about $670,000) to tax authorities.

The court, however, acquitted them of misrepresenting income of 416 million euros (around $560 million) each, even though the statute of limitations had expired on the charge.

The designers have denied the charges.

Defense lawyer Massimo Dinoia pledged to appeal the ruling, saying the fact the court issued an acquittal on a charge that had expired, instead of just letting it fall to the statute of limitations, “means the proof of their innocence is evident.”

Two years ago, a judge threw out a tax evasion and fraud case against the pair, whose label Dolce&Gabbana is a Milan fashion mainstay. Italy’s high court later ruled the designers could be prosecuted for tax evasion, though not for fraud.

Three other defendants, including two managers, were also convicted in the scheme and given suspended sentences of one year and four months. A sixth defendant was acquitted.

Mom who abandoned daughter now won’t leave her alone DEAR ABBY: I was taken away from my parents at 13 and placed into foster care, where I stayed until I aged out at 21. My biological mother is a drug addict who abandoned me to my father when I was 11. She never tried to contact me while I was in care.

I am now 24 and she won’t leave me alone. She sends Facebook messages that alternate between begging me to let her get to know me, and condemning me for being vindictive and not having forgiveness in my heart. Abby, this woman exposed me to drugs and all manner of seedy people and situations. I was molested and beaten by some of the men she picked up to pay the bills.

Am I a horrible person for ignoring her? I’m close to losing my temper and letting her know exactly how angry I am, but I know it would do no good.

I just want to move on with my life and advance in my profession without having to worry about this. What do you think?

— STALKED IN NEW YORK DEAR STALKED: Silence sends a strong message. I think that when the harassment started, you should have immediately blocked this woman on Facebook. It’s not too late to do that now. If she continues to annoy you, consider getting a restraining order.

Because you are on a path to success, allow NOTHING to divert you.

The court sentenced them both to one year and eight months in jail.

Dave Chappelle to headline monthlong comedy tour

DEAR ABBY: On March 14 you printed a question from “Jim in New Jersey” who asked if brand-new clothing should be washed before wearing. Having worked in a shirt factory for years, let me tell you how many hands handle the shirt before it goes into that neat little bag.

1. Someone spreads the fabric and lays the pattern.

2. The cutter cuts it.

3. Someone else ties the different parts together.

4. Another person takes the parts to the sewing people.

5. One sewer attaches the pocket to the front.

6. Another sews the yoke to the back.

7. Another sews that

8. Another sews in the sleeves.

9. Another sews the side seams.

10. Still another hems the bottom.

11. Another adds the collar.

12. Another sews on the cuffs (if long-sleeved).

13. Someone else sews on the buttons.

14. Another reinforces the buttonholes.

15. An inspector examines the garment for loose threads.

16. An auditor gives it a final check.

17. And finally, someone folds the shirt and puts it into that nice, clean-looking bag.

Don’t even ask how many times it may have fallen on the floor — or if we washed our hands.

Abby, I NEVER wear anything until I wash it!

■ Living with Children

Tunnel vision f my parents told me once, they told me at least one hundred times, “Don’t talk to anyone about their religious or political beliefs.” They meant, of course, that those topics are likely to generate tension and angry conflict. As such, they were not the stuff of polite social conversation.

Notwithstanding the fact that I find religion and politics to be the two most interesting of all conversational topics, a third caution should be added to the list: parenting. In other words, don’t talk to anyone about how they are raising their children.

Numerous people from all over the country have told me of parenting disagreements that led to the breakup of even close friendships. I’ve long ago lost count of the parents

and grandparents who’ve told me sad tales of how such conflicts have caused alienations within extended families. Teachers and administrators constantly convey stories of parents who take their children’s sides whenever academic or disciplinary issues arise at school.

Most significant, disagreements between husband and wife over how to raise children, especially over when and how to discipline them, have become a major cause of divorce, ranking right up there with conflicts over sex and money.

This trend has been exacerbated by the growing popularity of radical parenting philosophies like attachment parenting, advocates of which promote extended breast-feeding and parent-child co-sleep-

ing. As a prime example, the divorce of former child actress Mayim Bialik, author of Beyond the Sling, a best-seller on attachment parenting, is currently in the works. Actually, that came as no surprise. Reading her book, I got the distinct impression that she and her husband did not see eye-to-eye where their kids were concerned.

Whether it’s a matter of complaints by men of playing second fiddle to the kids or complaints by women of husbands who come home from work and undermine their attempts to keep the kids under control, it’s obvious that marriage, once entered into for the purpose of having children, is now threatened by children.

Fifty-plus years ago, there was general consensus on how children

should be raised. That consensus has been shattered. I submit that the shattering began when parents began relying on advice from experts who themselves did not agree on even the most fundamental of parenting matters. I am acutely aware, for example, that a significant number of mental health professionals do not appreciate (a mild way of putting it) my traditionalist perspective. But even if I was taken out of the equation, agreement in the mental health community would still be lacking.

The larger problem, however, is that when the parenting traditions of a culture begin disintegrating and are replaced by parenting anarchy, the very survival of the culture is threatened. Until relatively recently, parents were trying to raise children such that America was sustained and strengthened. Today’s par-

Torre daughter catches baby falling from 2nd floor

JOHN ROSEMOND Columnist ents, by and large, have tunnel vision. Their parenting is all about the child or children. The needs of the forest are ignored in all the fuss over the supposed “needs” of the individual trees.

And no one can agree over what the trees need in the first place.

Family psychologist John Rosemond answers parents’ questions at www.rosemond.com.

NEW YORK (AP) — The daughter of former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre is getting props from her dad for catching a baby who had tumbled off a second-floor fire escape in Brooklyn.

Torre is now Major League Baseball’s executive vice president of baseball operations.

Police say a 44-year-old woman caught a 1-yearold boy after he fell from the apartment building but did not identify the bystander. They say the baby somehow climbed onto the fire escape. That’s when the woman caught the baby as she walked on the sidewalk below.

Police say the baby is stable. The parents were arrested and charged with reckless endangerment.

Youth leagues try to rein in ‘bad news parents’

BY MARTHA IRVINE AP National Writer BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. (AP) — No parent here has rushed onto a playing field to jump a referee who made an unpopular call. No adult has gotten angry and slugged or pushed a coach or a young player, as has happened elsewhere. Nor have there been any of those embarrassing sideline brawls you sometimes see posted on online video sites.

At least nobody’s admitting to it.

Still, parent behavior in this quiet suburb north of Chicago has been questionable enough to cause the park district officials to post new signs at ball fields with what you might call ... a few gentle reminders.

“This is a game being played by children,” the signs in the Buffalo Grove Park District begin, with the words “game” and “children” highlighted in bold letters. “If they win or lose every game of the season, it will not impact what college they attend or their future potential income.”

The campaign, which began this month, is relatively low-key. You might not even notice the small blue signs if you weren’t standing

right by them. But they speak to a growing movement in youth sports — aimed at reining in parents who, many say, are too involved, too competitive and in need of a little perspective.

“I just want to get back to what I was brought up with as a child — and that’s, ‘Let the kids play,’” says Dan Schimmel, the park district’s executive director.

Elsewhere, some youth sports leagues are requiring parents to sign codes of conduct or recite pledges before games, promising in front of their children that they’ll behave. If they slip up, they might be pulled aside for a conversation or kicked out of a game if a warning does no good.

Other leagues occasionally have “silent” games, where parents and sometimes even coaches can only offer encouragement or cheer and clap, but can’t direct the young players or say or shout anything too negative.

Buffalo Grove officials say some have questioned whether this is just another attempt to coddle children.

Some wonder: Shouldn’t a young player learn to take criticism? And what’s wrong with a little competition, anyway?

But this, say coaches, leagues and even some parents and kids, is about parent behavior that increasingly goes way over the line and interferes with a kid’s ability to enjoy something that’s supposed to be fun.

“We’ve all seen that person on the sidelines and we’re thinking, ‘Are they really going there? Really?’” says Brian Sanders, president of i9 Sports Corp., a national franchiser of youth leagues and camps based in Florida that uses sportsmanship as one of its cornerstones.

In some cases, violent behavior has led to criminal charges — in Newark, N.J., for instance, where parents allegedly beat up a Little League baseball umpire because he wouldn’t call a game because of darkness.

“The level of competition in youth sports has gotten exponentially greater, forcing this level of hyper-competition,” Sanders says.

“I think that is driving a certain level of behavior on the sidelines that is amplified.”

Haley Small, a 19-year-old college student who played soccer and then traveling softball through high school, puts it this way: “The more competitively I played, the

more interesting the parents got.”

“We’d joke about it, but it’s serious. Some of my friends were walking on eggshells,” says Small, now a student at Ithaca College in New York.

“We hear a lot more than people think.”

It gets so bad sometimes that some players wish their parents would just stay home, she says.

Laura Marinelli, who coaches Small’s younger sister on a traveling softball team for 12- to 14-year-old girls in Essex County, N.J., also has noticed more overthe-top parent behavior in recent years.

Marinelli recalls one dad who was angry about a play on the field and tried to tackle her assistant coach during a game. The coach was able to duck the parent and ended up throwing him to the ground.

At a national tournament last year, she says a father of a player was so unhappy with a decision she’d made that he ran at her in the dugout, screaming and pointing in her face, causing some of her players to cry. Ultimately, she asked his daughter to leave the team because she felt the dad had repeatedly violated the team’s code

of conduct.

“The girl is a phenomenal softball player. She’s a sweetheart — and a great kid,” Marinelli says. “But I can’t have a parent like that on the sidelines.”

Kicking kids off teams is one of the more serious punishments that leagues and coaches use to try to keep parents under control. Some leagues and tournament officials also are giving umpires more power to warn offending parents and coaches and then ask them to leave the premises if they ignore the warning.

It can be an effective deterrent, though in many other instances, umpires or referees at youth games are often teenagers who may not have the experience or confidence to stand up to parents.

And often, there’s no security at games. So parents are left to police themselves.

For that reason, some teams assign parents to be “culture keepers,” asking those people to help keep the yelling and negativity from fellow parents to a minimum.

Sometimes, they even hand out lollipops to help keep themselves quiet.

“But sometimes the culture keeper isn’t always the best person — because that

person is yelling just as much as the other parents,” Jill Kirby says, laughing. She’s a mom in Long Grove, Ill., whose five children participate in sports, from soccer to swimming and T-ball, sometimes in neighboring Buffalo Grove.

She says the signs asking adults to behave are a nice idea — perhaps even a way to get people talking about the issue. But ultimately, she doesn’t think the tactic will work.

“I think the worst offenders don’t think they are the worst offenders,” Kirby says, conceding that maybe even she was one of those parents, “once upon a time.”

“And then I got a little perspective,” she says.

Greg Dale, a sports psychologist at Duke University, agrees that it’s difficult for parents to see themselves as “that parent,” at least without a little help.

He recalls a mom in California telling him about a dad she called “leather lungs” because he yelled so often at the officials, coaches and kids.

Hesitant to approach him, the woman secretly filmed him at several games and anonymously sent him the video.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, June 22, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Do something different today to satisfy your urge for adventure. Travel anywhere, if you can. You will be delighted to learn something new and fascinating.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take some time to clean up loose ends with banking, taxes, debt, insurance matters and anything to do with shared property. This will give you some peace of mind.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you have to compromise with someone or go more than halfway.

This is not asking too much.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day to set aside time to get better organized. You might shop for pet supplies or hygiene items and things that help you run your life more smoothly.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You need to be yourself today. If someone has trouble with this, then you might want to rethink that friendship -- perhaps. After all, you are who you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day for quiet contemplation and thinking about family matters. Seek out the comfort of home and give yourself some pleasant, relaxing moments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) When talking to others today, you want to communicate at a "gut" level.

You won't be satisfied with superficial chitchat. Instead, you want to get down to the nitty-gritty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It will please you today to be surrounded by familiar objects from your past. That's because you tend to identify strongly with whatever you own today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you emotional when dealing with others. Nevertheless, you have to remember to try to see someone else's point of view as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Solitude in pleasant surroundings will please you today because you need some time to hide or contemplate your life. Do something that gives you a chance to restore and replenish yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with a female friend could be significant today. Share your ideas about your hopes and dreams for the future to see what others say. Their feedback could be helpful.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with authority figures might be more emotional than usual today.

Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

Listen more and talk less.

YOU BORN TODAY You are strong and passionate. You have a vivid imagination and embrace powerful fantasies. You approach life dramatically with a heightened sense of romance.

You hope to impose your dream world on your reality. (These qualities promote a life in the arts.) Grab every opportunity to study or learn something new in the year ahead, because it will make a difference for you.

Bruce breaks through Reds win in 13 innings CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce had barely put the ball in play whenever he faced Jason Grilli. His first career hit off the Pirates' closer was some breakthrough.

Chicago evens series with Bruins BOSTON (AP) — The Blackhawks are heading back to Chicago having regained home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup finals and with a renewed faith in an offense that took more than 120 minutes to push a puck past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask.

"It's time to put all those other games behind us, the games where we struggled to score," captain Jonathan Toews said after contributing to Chicago's most prolific output of the playoffs in a AP PHOTO 6-5 victory over Boston in Chicago’s Brent Seabrook (7) celebrates his game- Game 4 on Wednesday night. winning goal in overtime with Duncan Keith (2).

"It was fun to see the puck go in as often as it did tonight. We know we can be better defensively.

But we'll use that confidence and try our best to pounce on them."

Toews' goal was the first in 11 games for the center who tied for the team lead in scoring in the regular season. He also screened Rask on Brent Seabrook's slap shot 9:51 into overtime that sent the series back to Chicago tied two games apiece.

Game 5 is Saturday night before the teams return to Boston for Game 6 on Monday.

"At this point of the sea-

son, it's down to best-ofthree," said Seabrook, a defenseman who also had the overtime goal in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. "We want to win games, find a way to win 'em any way we can."

It was the third overtime game in the matchup of Original Six franchises, but it bore little resemblance to the three tightly contested games that opened the series. The teams combined for five goals in the second period — as many as in Games 2 and 3 combined — as See STANLEY/Page 10

All down to one game for Heat, Spurs Game 7s are rarity in NBA MIAMI (AP) — It all comes down to this.

Heroes are made, legacies are forged and hearts are broken in Game 7s of the NBA Finals. It's a shame they don't come around more often.

David Stern has spent 30 years as NBA commissioner, and he's only been able to see the league's ultimate event five times.

The rareness of the one game, winner-take-all scenario is what makes it

special. That certainly isn't lost on Stern, who plans to retire in February and is watching his last finals as commissioner.

The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat took this year's series to a Game 7 — the third one in the last nine years, a pattern that basketball enthusiasts hope will continue.

"To have two well-constructed and each, in their own way, fabled teams with playoff MVPs, with finals MVPs, certain Hall of Famers, seven championships among them, having had a great season,"

The seventh game of the NBA Finals between San Antonio and Miami was not over at press time

Stern said Thursday afternoon, "it's as good as it gets."

Rare are the occasions where the season definitively comes down to its very last day. Senses are heightened. Stomachs are churning.

"You go through a long season and you're not thinking today's the last day," said ESPN analyst Kurt Rambis, who played in two Game 7s with the

Lakers in 1984 and '88.

"That one, it is a real defining moment. There are a lot of emotions that you go through thinking about the what-ifs of you winning and what-ifs of you losing. You start thinking about everything you went through to get to that point. It's clear that it's over with after today."

It's as close as the NBA can get to the drama and stakes of the Super Bowl, and Stern has witnessed the celebration and the heartbreak up close.

"Each one of them is so terribly exhilarating,"

Stern said. "In addition to the exhilaration of the winning team, the despair of the loser is palpable. It's sports at its best. It's the essence of competition."

Stern said it would be hard for this series to top Game 6, when LeBron James rallied the Heat from five down with 21 seconds remaining to win it in overtime. It kept Miami's hopes of defending its title alive against Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, the veteran core of the Spurs.

NBA Continued from page 9 "I just think everyone, including the spectators, are on edge and that's wonderful," Stern said.

"Every possession gets magnified. Every move, every coaching change, every adjustment, it becomes a clinic about the beauty of our game."

Here's a look at some of the most recent finals Game 7s: 2010: Lakers 83, Celtics 79. Kobe Bryant had tried to pretend the Celtics were just another opponent, but he could finally admit otherwise after the Lakers pulled off a fourth-quarter rally to avenge a loss to their biggest rival two years earlier.

2005: Spurs 81, Pistons 74. Tied at 57 going into the final quarter, the final game of the 2005 season was anything but an offensive masterpiece.

But the Spurs found more than enough scoring down the stretch to capture their third title in six years.

1994: Rockets 90, Knicks 84. Hakeem Olajuwon scored 25 points

and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading the Houston Rockets past the New York Knicks and officially ending the Chicago Bulls' reign atop the NBA world.

1988: Lakers 108, Pistons 105. Pat Riley famously said that his Los Angeles Lakers would defend their 1987 title. He was correct, but his club was taken to the absolute limit by Detroit.

1984: Celtics 111, Lakers 102. Round 1 goes to Larry Legend. In the first finals meeting between Larry Bird and Johnson, the Magic Celtics and Lakers traded punches in a tense first six games. Back at the Boston Garden for Game 7, Bird put up 20 points and 12 rebounds to get the better of his rival from Los Angeles.

1978: Bullets 105, SuperSonics 99. One of the most unlikely matchups — Seattle came out of the West as a No. 4 seed and Washington was the third seed in the East — provided one of the more memorable games in finals history.

greenside bunker, handing Marc Leishman the title.

"It's nice to come back after that finish last year, and come back and shoot 61 and put myself back in the lead," Hoffman said.

Mahan is the 2007 champion and has two second-place finishes in his 11 previous starts at the TPC River Highlands.

"I think this is the most comfortable course on tour for me," he said.

Coming off a fourthplace finish after being in the final pair at the U.S. Open, Mahan kept it rolling here, opening the day by making the first of eight birdies during a bogey-free round. He was also at 8-under with three holes to play before shooting par on the final three holes.

"This is a golf course where you can be aggressive off the tee if you want to be, but you can also play it safe," he said. "I choose to be mostly aggressive, and it gives me some short irons. I'm happy to take on pins with my short irons.

“So it's a combo of things, but all I know is when I step on that tee, I feel like I can hit any shot out here."

Watson finds himself in contention again after winning in 2010 and tying Hoffman as the runner up a year ago. He said there is a reason so many familiar names are at the top of the leaderboard.

"These are guys that

love this course, that love this tournament, they love Travelers and how they've treated us here," he said.

"And so, you're always going to see pretty much some of the same guys up there because they enjoy this area and this golf course."

A group of six golfers was four strokes back.

The biggest ovation of the day came when Justin Rose was introduced on the first tee as the U.S. Open champion. Rose went on to shoot a 67, leaving him in good shape heading into Friday.

"Obviously, I'm playing well," he said. "I just knew I had to get through today without too much damage.

If you manage to keep it in the mid-60s for most of the week, you should do pretty well."

Rose also announced that he is changing management companies, leaving British-based 4Sports & Entertainment for Excel Sports, the same company that represents Tiger Woods.

"I just felt with me playing so much here in the states and where I felt my game was going, I just felt it was a decision I wanted to make," he said.

The round marked the pro debut Chris Williams, the top-ranked amateur in the world the past season.

He shot a 1-over 71, with two bogies and a single birdie.

"The first tee, I was a little nervous," he said.

CROMWELL, Conn.

(AP) — Charley Hoffman missed the course record by a stroke, but shot 61 Thursday to take the lead after the first round of the Travelers Championship, a year after he blew a twostroke advantage on the tournament's final two holes.

In his latest round, Hoffman hit a 126-yard approach shot within 3feet of the pin to help him birdie 18 and separate himself by a stroke from Hunter Mahan, who posted an early 62. Bubba Watson was two strokes back.

Hoffman said he thought he might have a chance to go even lower, and was flirting with 59 after making eagle on 10 and 12, and going to 8under par with a birdie on 16. His 28 on the back nine was the lowest 9-hole score on Tour this year "I knew I had some chances coming in," he said. "But when it's said and done, as I displayed last year, 16, 17 and 18 aren't an easy test. So I was just trying to make some pars coming in."

Hoffman, Mahan and Watson all have interesting histories in Connecticut.

Hoffman finished tied with Watson for second last year after it seemed he had the tournament sewed up. He made double bogey on 17, then bogeyed the 18th after failing to get up and down from a

Hoffman just misses new course record

MUNICH (AP) — Ernie Els shot a 9-under 63, making an eagle and seven birdies, on Thursday to hold the clubhouse lead in the opening round of the BMW International Open.

The South African, who won the British Open in 2002 and 2012 and the U.S. Open in 1994 and 1997, almost had a second eagle on the last hole that would have equaled a course record.

He settled for a birdie that gave him the overall lead.

"It doesn't really mean much until Sunday. But getting into the race — so to speak — early on in the tournament is nice, to be right in the hunt," Els said.

Els is one stroke ahead of Matthew Baldwin of England, Alex Noren of Sweden, Robert-Jan Derksen of the Netherlands, and Martin Kaymar, who delighted the home crowd by finishing in the afternoon with three successive birdies, nine in all.

"I had a lot of chances on the back nine and I pretty much made all of them," said the German.

Baldwin and Noren both holed eight birdies in the morning, while Derksen had six, as well as an eagle.

English pair Matthew Nixon and Tom Lewis, and Alexander Levy of France are next after shooting 65s.

"Hats off, it was just everything went right, holed a lot of putts and that's that, really," Nixon said. "I had two eagles and my dad is always telling me I'm rubbish at par-5s so hopefully he'll feel better about that."

Els finished tied for fourth at the U.S. Open last week and had a share of sixth place at the Wentworth Club in his previous two tournaments.

"I've really been working hard at my game," the 43-year-old said, referring to his recent fine form.

"I could feel that things were coming around a bit.

I've had a bit of an iffy year up to now, but I really feel that my swing feels good and my body feels good, so I can swing the club properly."

Els started at the 10th hole, and made five birdies in the outward 31.

He holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the short second, before doing brilliantly on the par-5 sixth.

Despite finding himself in the rough facing a flag guarded by water, he drove the ball almost 250 yards to within five feet of the hole, before putting for the eagle.

"It's just a pleasure to play, not to go through a torture chamber like I did at the U.S. Open. So, a nice start," Els said.

"I'm glad that I came (here) because I feel my game is coming around. I just haven't had the results, so it's nice to see where my game is."

mal game plan is. So we opened up and we scored goals, but we also gave them some goals, like the game-winning goal."

The overtime was even until the Bruins failed to clear the zone, and the Blackhawks got the puck to Seabrook at the right point. What seemed like a harmless shot eluded Rask, and Chicago followed with a subdued celebration at the end of another long night.

"If he sees the puck, he's going to be almost impossible to beat," Quenneville said. "We want to make sure we get there and make it hard on him to find it, try to go on the second and third opportunity.

Nice ending with traffic in the net, Seabs having a shot that tied us up."

The Bruins had trailed for under 60 minutes total out of the almost 900 minutes they had played in the postseason. But the Blackhawks came out strong early in this one, recording the first seven shots and taking a 1-0 lead on a short-handed goal when Oduya was off for interference early in the first period.

Brandon Saad picked Tyler Seguin clean in the defensive zone and brought the puck down the ice before flipping it across to Michal Handzus, who rattled it in off the post to make it 1-0. That snapped Rask's shutout streak which dated to the first period of Game 2, but the lead didn't last for long.

None of them did.

"I don't think anybody expected that before the game," Rask said. "But they're a good offensive team. When you give them goals and they get the lead, obviously, you have to start opening up too and creating some offense.

That's what happened. I think if you take something positive out of this, you've got to look at the fact that we scored five goals."

40200048

Chicago bounced back from its first shutout of the season with its highest-scoring game of the playoffs.

"I guess it was just our turn to score again," said forward Blackhawks Patrick Kane, who had a goal and an assist in the back-and-forth game. "It was a fun game to play. ...

I'm sure the fans enjoyed that, for sure."

Bryan Bickell and Michal Rozsival had two assists apiece for Chicago, which had scored only five goals total in the first three games of the series and hadn't gotten the puck past Rask in more than 129 minutes coming into Game 4. Corey Crawford made 28 saves for the Blackhawks, but he coughed up the lead three times.

"They keep coming," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "One of those nights."

Patrice Bergeron scored twice, and Zdeno Chara and Jaromir Jagr each had two assists for Boston, which has won 11 of its last 14 playoff games; the three losses have all been in overtime. Rask made 41 saves, but he didn't see the last shot until it was too late.

"I saw it at the last second," he said. "There was some traffic in front ... just couldn't make a stretch."

The Blackhawks led 10, 4-2 and 5-4, but each time the Bruins evened it up. The last, just 55 seconds after Chicago took the lead, came when Johnny Boychuk slapped it over a sliding Johnny Oduya with 7:46 left in regulation.

Boychuk, who had never scored more than five goals in a season, has six in these playoffs.

"It wasn't a Bruins' type of game, but at the same time you have to get yourself back into it," coach Claude Julien said. "Our guys worked hard to score goals. Probably got ourselves out of what our nor-

MLB Leaders

MLB Standings seven homers in the series, all solo shots. Cincinnati hit four in a 4-1 win that opened it.

Cumpton Brandon made his second major league start for Pittsburgh, giving up two runs — one earned — in five innings.

Bailey faced the Pirates for the first time since his no-hitter at PNC Park last September and left after six innings with the score tied at 2. He gave up six hits, throwing 113 pitches.

Bailey is 8-2 career against Pittsburgh.

"They've definitely made strides over the past couple of years, but it's early," Bailey said. "They have a good club but the past couple of years, they've fallen into the pattern of fading, so we'll see.

It's a long season."

Alvarez's throwing error helped the Reds get an unearned run in the first. Shin-Shoo Choo reached on Alvarez's team-high 13th error, stole second and came around on Joey Votto's single.

Another batter got hit, extending a prominent theme to the Ohio River rivals' series this season.

At least one batter has been plunked in each of the 10 games, with 19 hit overall. Pirate pitchers have hit 10, Reds pitchers 9, leaving some simmering unhappiness on both sides.

Choo has been hit six times, Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen three times each, Brandon Phillips twice, and five others one time apiece.

NOTES: The official scorer changed a call from Wednesday night game.

Russell Martin's grounder off Bronson Arroyo's glove was originally ruled an error.

Bruce Continued from page 9 and we had to go extras and work harder. You lose a tough ballgame in an important series."

Manny Parra (1-1) pitched the 13th, and the Reds won it against Vin Mazzaro (3-2). Derrick Robinson and Shin-Soo Choo singled with one out, and Joey Votto was walked intentionally.

Phillips singled up the middle to end it.

"That's what Brandon does," Bruce said. "I've been watching him for six years, so I'm a little accustomed to it."

Phillips was hit on the left forearm in Pittsburgh on June 1 and missed four games with a bruise. He was batting only .164 since he got back in the lineup.

"I haven't been feeling right and I was doing things I don't normally do," Phillips said. "I felt a little better today."

The Reds are 5-7 in extra innings, tied with Colorado for most in the majors.

They've gone extra innings in three of their last seven games. The Pirates are 4-4 after their longest game of the season.

Cincinnati has held onto second place in the NL Central by winning two of three in the series, which concludes on Thursday.

Pittsburgh left-hander Jeff Locke gave up only four hits and three walks in seven innings. Starling Marte tripled and scored on an error by pitcher Bronson Arroyo in the third.

Both teams wasted chances to end it earlier.

The Reds had a runner thrown out at the plate, and the Pirates left the bases loaded twice and got two runners picked off.

Also, Bruce stretched to the top of the wall in right to rob Andrew McCutchen

The five RBIs were a season high for a Pirate and one shy of Alvarez's career high. The third baseman has been Pittsburgh's top run producer in June, leading the team with 48 RBIs overall.

It's quite a change. Alvarez .180 in April and .225 in May before finding his form. He has six homers in June, secondmost in the NL. "I just think it's repetition and getting the opportunity to go out and try to gain as much experience as I can from every day out there," Alvarez said.

Bryan Morris (4-2) contributed to the go-ahead rally with his first career single. He also pitched two innings, allowing one run.

Left-hander Tony Watson pitched the last two innings for his second save in three chances.

The Pirates lead the season series 6-4, holding their own early in the season despite a rotation that's sapped by injuries and a lineup that strikes out a lot and wastes chances. Under the circumstances, the way the series ended was satisfying.

"We don't expect anything less," Morris said.

"It's good to not lose any ground. Definitely would have loved to have three out of four in the series, but we're not complaining about the split, especially after the hard game last night."

Jay Bruce hit another solo homer, his third of the series and his fifth in seven games. His ninthinning shot off Jason Grilli led the way to the draining 13-inning win on Wednesday night.

The teams combined for

in the seventh.

Arroyo gave up six hits in seven innings.

He hit Russell Martin in the back of the left shoulder with an 88 mph fastball in the fifth inning.

Alfredo Simon hit Jordy Mercer in the back in the ninth, the 18th time a batter's been hit during the nine games between the teams this season.

Pirate pitchers have plunked 10, Reds pitchers eight. Choo has been hit six times, Marte three times, Phillips and McCutchen twice each, and five other players once apiece.

The Pirates pulled off an unusual relay to cut down a runner at the plate in the second inning.

Zack Cozart tried to score from first base on Ryan Hanigan's two-out double to left. Marte's throw to the infield went over Mercer's head at shortstop, but second baseman Neil Walker was backing up the play, made the relay and got Cozart.

NOTES: The Reds haven't been shut out in back-to-back games since Aug. 30-31, 2011, when they lost to the Phillies 90 and 3-0. ... Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez, on the DL with tightness in his left forearm, will throw 35 to 40 pitches off a mound on Thursday. If he has no problems, he'll make a rehab start in the minors on Sunday. ... Arroyo had another scoreless first inning. He has allowed one run total in the first innings of his last 19 starts. ... RHP Homer Bailey starts the final game of the series for Cincinnati.

He's 8-2 in career against Pittsburgh, including a no-hitter at PNC Park last September. RHP Brandon Cumpton makes his second career start for the Pirates.

Obama to nominate Comey as FBI head

that tha at work .com com co m JobSourceOhio.com Ohhio.com Ohio.com oo.com ..com com com co m

BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday plans to nominate President George W. Bush’s former No. 2 at the Department, Justice James Comey, to lead the FBI as the agency grapples with privacy debates over a host of recently exposed investigative tactics.

Comey is perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004 standoff over a nowarrant wiretapping program at the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft. Comey rushed to the side of his bedridden boss to physically stop White House officials in their attempt to get an ailing Ashcroft to reauthorize the program.

If confirmed by the Senate, Comey would serve a 10-year tenure and replace Robert Mueller, who has held the job since the week before the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Mueller is set to resign on Sept. 4 after overseeing the bureau’s transformation into one the country’s chief weapons against terrorism.

The White House said in a statement that Obama would announce his choice of Comey on Friday afternoon.

Comey was a federal prosecutor who severed for several years as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York before coming to Washington after the Sept. 11 attacks as deputy attorney general. In recent years he’s been an executive at defense company Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) , general counsel to a hedge fund, board member at HSBC Holdings and lecturer on national security law at Columbia Law School.

The White House may hope that Comey’s Republican background and strong credentials will help him through Senate confirmation at a time when some of Obama’s nominees have been facing tough battles. Republicans have said they see no major obstacles to his confirmation, although he is certain to face tough questions about his hedge fund work, his ties to Wall Street as well as how he would handle current, high-profile FBI investigations.

The FBI is responsible for both intelligence and law enforcement with more than 36,000 employees. It has faced questions in recent weeks over media leak probes involving The Associated Press and Fox News; the Boston Marathon bombings; the attack at Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans; and two vast government surveillance programs into phone records and online communications.

The leaker of those National Security Agency programs, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, also is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.

And just this week Mueller revealed the FBI uses drones for surveillance of stationary subjects and said the privacy implications of such operations are worthy of debate.

Comey played a central role in holding up Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program, one of the administration’s great controversies and an episode that focused attention on the administration’s controversial tactics in the war on terror.

In dramatic testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2007, Comey said he thought the no-warrant wiretapping program was so questionable that he re-

fused to reauthorize it while serving as acting attorney general during Ashcroft’s hospitalization. Comey said when he learned that the White House chief of staff and counsel were heading to Ashcroft’s room despite his wife’s instructions that there be no visitors, Comey beat them there and watched as Ashcroft turned them away. “That night was probably the most difficult night of my professional life,� Comey testified. He said he and Ashcroft had reservations about the program’s legality, but he would not discuss details since the program was classified.

Senior government officials had expressed concerns about whether the NSA, which administered the warrantless eavesdropping program, had the proper oversight in place. Other concerns included whether any president possessed the legal and constitutional authority to authorize the program as it was carried out at the time.

Comey was deputy attorney general in 2005 when he unsuccessfully tried to limit tough intactics terrogation against suspected terrorists. He told then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales that some of the practices were wrong and would damage the department’s reputation.

Some Democrats denounced those methods as torture, particularly the use of waterboarding, which produces the sensation of drowning.

Comey’s defiance won him praise from Democrats. In a statement, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., will oversee who Comey’s confirmation hearing, said, “Mr. Comey showed the kind of independence needed to lead the FBI when he stood up to those in the last administration who sought to violate the rule of law.� Leahy called for senators to give Comey “the swift and respectful confirmation he deserves.�

Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Comey’s experience on national security would benefit the FBI. “He’s previously dealt with these matters with integrity and shown a willingness to stand his ground if necessary,�

Grassley said in a statement. He added that he wants to question Comey on his work in the hedge fund industry and wondered whether he could improve the Obama administration’s efforts to prosecute Wall Street for its role in the economic downturn.

Concerns over Comey were raised by the American Civil Liberties Union, which doesn’t take positions on nominees but is interested in civil liberties issues.

ACLU senior policy counsel Mike German said while Comey stood up to some surveillance, he eventually approved the NSA program along with interrogation techniques that included waterboarding, as well as defended the indefinite detention of Jose Padilla, an American terrorism suspect. “We want to make sure whoever sits in that chair has a determined interest in protecting the rule of law, particularly since they will be there 10 years, outlasting this president and potentially the next president,� German said.

German said these issues are particularly relevant given the new revelations about surveillance programs.
