TROY The buildings, streets and sidewalks committee gave its approval of work to be undertaken by the Ohio Department of Transportation in 2014 to repair the Broadford Bridge, which crosses the Great Miami River at Troy’s eastern border.

“It’s at no cost for the city, but they require

the consent of the city to do the work,” said Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington.

The project involves work on the bridge abutment, which supports the structure.

Under ODOT guidelines, the measure will move forward as emergency legislation.

The finance committee approved a contract for purchasing lime from the city of Dayton, which Troy uses for softening water at the

Marshall receives probation

Ranchers deal with wildfires A furious wildfire torching through the mountains of southern New Mexico’s Gila National Forest has grown to 127 square miles, forcing some ranchers to ship their cattle out of state as the blaze burns through entire grazing areas.

The Silver Fire was still about 5 miles west of the nearest community, but it has left ranchers in this drought-stricken corner of the state with few choices for feeding their cattle. State agriculture officials said the combination of drought and fire has forced some ranchers to ship what remaining cattle they have to other areas, including South Texas. See Page 10.

Goodbye to my TDN family Before I started my job as city hall reporter here, I received an email from my new editor David Fong that quelled any worries I had about starting my new job: “We’re planning a laser tag trip once you get here.

We’re so excited!”

Whew, I thought. Maybe a job as a political reporter won’t be so intimidating after all.

That was back in March 2012 — and although it seems like just yesterday, it also feels like forever and ever ago.

A Troy man who repeatedly attempted to solicit sex from a 12-year-old girl he befriended on a social networking site in February was given probation at his sentencing hearing held in Miami County Common Pleas Court on Monday.

• AP Survey: Bernanke comments surprised investors WASHINGTON (AP) Stock and bond prices have been sinking because investors were caught off-guard and were alarmed by the Federal Reserve’s signal that long-term interest rates are headed higher.

That’s the view that emerges from an Associated Press survey of economists late last week.

A majority of the more than two dozen economists polled support the Fed’s plan to start slowing its bond purchases later this year, if the U.S. economy continues to strengthen.

Higher long-term rates will likely result. But in the short run, traders fear that higher rates could slow growth and that the Fed might be moving too fast to slow its stimulus, according to many of the economists.

Some also think investors perceived a shift in the Fed’s timetable for curtailing its low-rate policies.

Steven J. Marshall hands a written statement shortly before his sentencing hearing to his defense attorney Andrew Pratt to revise Monday in Miami County Common Pleas Court.

Marshall • CONTINUED FROM 1 children; a sex offender evaluation and follow up counselling; and forbid the convicted sex offender from looking at pornography, using social networking websites under any name aside from his own and having no contact with children via social networking sites.

Gee warned Marshall that if he violates any parameter of his probation he will be sentenced to an 18-month prison sentence.

“I don’t know what would possess a human being to solicit sex from a 12-year-old girl,” Gee said from the bench after ordering the sentence.

Gee told the defendant how “terrified” the parents of the victim must have felt after learning of his conduct.

Neither the victim or her parents were at the hearing, and the court received no victim impact statements from either party.

Andrew Pratt, Marshall’s defense attorney, asked the court for probation and said his client had a “minimal” criminal history.

Marshall, who spent 72 days in jail, also spoke at the hearing and apologized for his actions.

“Five minutes of being stupid has ruined my life,” he said.

Marshall’s conduct with the child eventually led to an investigation, at which point in time Marshall cooperated with authorities and confessed to the crime.

The mother of the victim eventually learned of the contact and went forward to police.

the neighborhood she and her daughter, Ava, live.

“I know all the kids here at Kyle and I live in this neighborhood, so it’s a good way to be part of the community here,” Church said.

Troy Playground coordinator Ann Jones said this year’s seven-week program has kicked off with a smooth start.

“It’s going well at all the sites,” Jones said. “What I enjoy about the program is its an organized way to get kids outdoors and active. The kids aren’t separated by grade so they all get to know each other across the board. I like showing up at the sites and seeing the kids playing and cooperating with each other on a different level than while they are in school.”

Jones said all staff members under go training sessions and use feedback from the previous year’s participants. She said

she travels to each Playground site to check on the staff.

The program is held Monday through Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and consists of supervised games and indoor activities and then open play time. The Playground program is supported by an annual grant by the United Way of Troy, which totalled $19,500 this year.

The Playground program is free to the children who attend with the exception of the Friday activities. Each Friday, children from each site go ice skating, bowling or swimming at the Troy Aquatic Park. Two new outings have been planned this year, one is a tour of the Idle Hour Ranch and the second is a trip to Brukner Nature Center. Each child is responsible for paying for Friday outings.

The program will run through July 19.

Scalding • CONTINUED FROM 1 Piqua Fire Chief Mike Rindler. Due to medical laws, Rindler could not release the name of the toddler.

The 2-year-old left a play area at the center and entered a kitchen area where the injuries occurred, police said.

Piqua police Deputy Chief Tom Steiner said the injuries the child sustained were not life-threatening and that the victim was transported by CareFlight “mostly as a precaution and due to the age of the child and her injury.”

He said the incident was an accident.

“Apparently she was playing in the kitchen area just off of a play area,” Steiner said. “It appears she pulled on a cord for a crock pot that is used to heat baby bottles and when she pulled it the crock pot spilled hot water on her.”

The child remained hospitalized Tuesday and suffered second-degree burns to her torso and her surrounding neck and thigh areas.

Mary Brown, the teacher at the childcare center who called 911, told a dispatcher the child was in a diaper when the accident happened and the toddler’s skin was peeling badly.

She also told the dispatcher that teachers at the center immediately began applying cold, wet rags to the wounds until members of emergency services arrived, according to the 911 call.

Miami County YMCA Executive Director Jim McMaken said the “safety and well-being of children in our care is our top priority,” and encouraged the community to keep the victim and her family in “thoughts and prayers.”

“I am relieved to report that the burns are not lifethreatening and that she is receiving excellent care at Children’s Hospital,” McMaken said.

IG: IRS credit cards used for wine, pornography WASHINGTON (AP) — Poor oversight by the Internal Revenue Service allowed workers to use agency credit cards to buy wine for an expensive luncheon, dorky swag for managers’ meetings and, for one employee, romance novels and diet pills, an agency watchdog said Tuesday.

Two IRS credit cards were used to buy online pornography, though the employees said the cards were stolen.

One of the workers

reported five agency credit cards lost or stolen.

IRS employees used agency credit cards to make more than 273,000 purchases totaling nearly $108 million in 2010 and 2011, according to the report by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The vast majority of those purchases were legitimate, the report said.

However, the report said the IRS has inadequate controls to prevent inappropriate purchases.

For example, investigators found that one IRS employee spent $2,655 on diet pills, romance novels, steaks, a smartphone and

baby-related items, including bottles, games and clothes. The case was referred to the IG’s office that investigates employee misconduct, the report said.

Among other “improper” purchases identified by the inspector general: $3,152 to rent a popcorn machine and to buy prizes for an employee event, including bandanas, stuffed animals, sunglasses and stovepipe hats. $418 for novelty decorations and swag at managers’ meetings, including kazoos, bathtub toys and “Thomas the Tank Engine” wristbands. $119 for Nerf footballs

that were never used and were found stored in a filing cabinet.

“Inadequate procedures to identify, report and address inappropriate use leaves the IRS purchase card program vulnerable to repeated violations of applicable laws and regulations,” said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The report comes as the IRS faces intense scrutiny over agents targeting conservative groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. Documents released Monday show that liberal

and progressive groups were singled out, too.

Also, the inspector general released a report earlier this month that detailed lavish spending at employee conferences.

In all, the agency spent nearly $50 million on employee conferences from 2010 through 2012.

“Clearly, any inappropriate card use impacts our bottom line and is cause for concern,” said acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel, who took over the agency last month.

“Wasteful spending cannot be tolerated, and any employees found to be abusing the system will be held accountable. In fact, we are following up on several inappropriate incidents mentioned in the report, ranging from internal actions to criminal charges.”

If you have any of the above, there are effective treatment options, covered by insurances.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Arizona Republic on National parks need upkeep: It’s time for America’s “Well, duh!” moment.

Family-friendly wonders of the world don’t come cheap.

Our national parks are suffering from the meat-ax budget cuts of sequestration after years of deferred maintenance. That’s no way to treat America’s best idea.

Our great-grandparents’ enthusiasm for preserving some of this nation’s wow places produced an amazing legacy. We have a duty to preserve that legacy for our children’s children.

A report released last month by the House Natural Resources Committee shows parks are being forced to cut hours and services, reduce access to campgrounds and facilities and further delay maintenance.

This isn’t just about the aesthetics or the comfort of visitors. …

At the Grand Canyon, seasonal staffing has been reduced, bathrooms are cleaned less frequently, the visitor center closes earlier and there are fewer ranger-led activities for visitors.

A report from the advocacy group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility found an increase in assaults and threats against rangers and park police. This is no time to cut staffing.

The sequestration cuts come as parks face a $12 billion maintenance backlog, the House report said. The unfunded to-do list includes repairing or replacing deteriorated roads, bridges and trails, as well as upkeep on facilities and historical sites.

Public support for the parks remains high. Four of every five of those polled for the National Parks and Conservation Association said they worry about budget cuts degrading the parks and the visitor experience.

The zeal for budget-cutting needs to be balanced with the reality that many things Americans take for granted cost money. Well-run, wellmaintained national parks are among those national values.

America’s best idea deserves the proper funding.

Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald on the responsibility now rests with Afghans: The moment has arrived for the people of Afghanistan to step up. In a ceremony in Kabul this week, NATO officially handed over responsibility to Afghan leaders and security forces to take the lead in all security operations.

Six years ago, Afghanistan’s army and police forces totaled around 40,000. Now the number has risen to more than 350,000.

That’s an impressive increase, but as more than a decade of U.S. involvement has shown, it’s an immense challenge to bring security and stability to the Central Asian country, which defied conquest by the British empire in the 19th century and invasion by the Soviet Union in the 20th.

The Associated Press reports that the transition “comes at a time the violence is at levels matching the worst in 12 years.”

What are some of the needed ingredients for success?

Demonstrations by Afghan security forces that they can carry the fight strongly to the Taliban even as NATO forces continue to advise and, in emergency situations, provide airstrikes and medical evacuations. Progress against corruption in the government and military.

Positive relations with neighboring Pakistan, where Taliban forces find sanctuary. And effective negotiations with the Taliban in peace talks that are about to begin in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar.

Over the past decade, American and allied military personnel have fought courageously to bring Afghans to this moment. More than 2,200 Americans, and more than 1,100 allied troops, have given their lives.

U.S. spending is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

American development teams — including National Guard teams from Nebraska as well as members of Iowa’s Army and Air National Guard — have worked hard to help the Afghan people pursue agricultural innovation and efficiency.

Foreign troops, totaling about 100,000 from 48 nations today, are scheduled to leave the country by the end of next year.

What a travesty it would be if the progress in moving Afghanistan forward on women’s opportunities and the country’s many other areas of need were to be short-circuited now by military failures, government mismanagement and political shortsightedness.

LETTERS

Thank you for your support To the Editor: I would like to thank Home Depot and its team of managers for the wonderful job they did on our playground at Hook Elementary. On June 10, the store manager, Jason Pierce, and 14 department managers showed up at Hook Elementary to work in the pouring rain.

They put landscape timbers around our picnic tables, planted more than 20 trees and bushes and laid mulch under our picnic tables and some of our playground equipment.

One of the nicest parts about Hook Elementary is the wooded lot for children to grow and play. In recent years, due to the ash borer, many of the trees had to be cut down.

Thanks to a $2,000 grant from Home Depot and the dedication of their employees, the

playground looks wonderful.

Not only did they work in the pouring rain, they dug every hole by hand and were extremely pleasant while doing so.

We were fortunate to be the recipient of such a generous grant from such an outstanding company.

With sincerest gratitude,

DOONESBURY

Goodbye, TDN family, I will miss all of you Before I started my job as city hall reporter here, I received an email from my new editor David Fong that quelled any worries I had about starting my new job: “We’re planning a laser tag trip once you get here. We’re so excited!”

Whew, I thought. Maybe a job as a political reporter won’t be so intimidating after all.

That was back in March 2012 — and although it seems like just yesterday, it also feels like forever and ever ago. I’ve covered many stories for Troy — Mitt Romney’s visit, North Market Street construction and the relocating of St. Patrick Soup Kitchen, to name a few — but what will forever stand in my mind are not those articles, but all the fun times spent with coworkers. Playing laser tag at Jumpy’s was definitely a highlight (I still maintain that my unbelievably low score was due to everyone cheating). But there have been many other fond memories, too. Getting Twin’s dog Shorty at the Humane Society. Going to Subhouse after election night. Seeing “Magic Mike” with Melody and her family. Wandering around the fair eating fried food and buying oddly shaped balloons. Being the butt of all jokes at the Southern Fried Chicks comedy show.

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist (Lesson learned: Never sit in the front row unless you’re down for being disparaged.)

And of course, all those nights just spent laughing, joking and betting with everyone will be remembered, too.

That’s what I’ll miss most when I start my new job in Cincinnati in a couple weeks. I’m getting pretty nostalgic, quite frankly. The time has flown by, and I’m wistful just thinking about how close I’ve grown to these people who were complete strangers a year and a half ago.

I’m frequently teased for being (overly) sentimental and sensitive, and true to form, I will probably shed a few tears on my last day. I’ll miss you all, TDN family.

Fong: Thank you for showing me how to not take myself so seriously. You somehow manage to be both mean and incredibly

— Mrs. Penny Johnson Principal of Hook Elementary

caring at the same time. I will miss your sarcasm, even though I often couldn’t distinguish it from normal conversation until you burst out laughing. Job well done.

Mel: You’ve been a wonderful “work mom” to me. I don’t know how else to say it. From taking me to lunch at The Caroline my first day, to picking out a $5 desk at a garage sale for my new apartment, I cannot thank you enough.

Jim: You are perhaps the most caring, thoughtful and hardworking person I know. Thank you for listening to all my problems and never judging. I owe my greater range of music and movie knowledge to you, too.

Tony: I could be having the worst day imaginable, but then you’d accompany me on an assignment and your optimism would somehow be contagious.

Thanks for instilling hope in me (and everyone).

Josh: I never imagined I’d have so many great conversations with someone who talks incessantly about zombies, video games and scary movies. Thank you for never failing to show me a different perspective to all situations.

Colin: May you never forget who introduced you to the “Call Me Maybe” song and correspon-

ding video with Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Thanks for always making me laugh, even when it was at my expense. P.S. Get your own pages off the printer.

Kathy: Thanks for keeping me updated on all OU alumni news and for getting my man Ryan Gosling in the paper sometimes.

Don’t get any ideas, Kathy — he’s all mine.

Twin: I’m hoping your brutal honesty rubs off on me. Thanks for never sugar-coating things (though I wasn’t always thankful at the time, right?).

Lindy: Being a couple years older than me, your reassurance that everything will fall into place means a lot. Thanks.

Joyell: Thank you for sending me emails commenting on my stories. Glad at least somebody’s reading ‘em, right?

Sorry for all the mushy-gushy stuff, but the TDN crew would expect nothing less. You’ve just all made such an impression on me. For my own peace of mind, I’m telling myself this isn’t goodbye for good, but instead, “See you later.”

After all, I do have Mumford tickets …

OBITUARIES

RICHARD F. WINANS

AP

In this Aug. 21, 1941 file photo, golfer Ray Billows, right, winner of the first Great Lakes amateur golf championship, receives the tournament trophy from Scotty Fessenden, left, president of the Chicago District Golf Association, as Frank Stranahan, center, looks on.

Frank Stranahan, amateur golfing great, dies at 90 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Frank Stranahan, the premier amateur of his era who contended for majors and was the first notable player to make fitness a regimen in golf, has died. He was 90.

Stranahan, who died Sunday in Hospice of Palm Beach County, was regarded as the best amateur since Bobby Jones.

Quattlebaum Funeral Home, which did not disclose his cause of death, said a memorial service was planned July 2.

The son of a wealthy industrialist family in Ohio his father was the founder of Champion Spark Plug Stranahan combined a life of privilege with his devotion to golf to win more than 50 amateur titles, including multiples wins in the British Amateur, Western Amateur and North and South Amateur.

The one title that eluded him was the U.S. Amateur. He lost in the championship match to Arnold Palmer in 1954, and then turned pro. Stranahan, who packed barbells in his suitcase to work out on the road, won six times on the PGA Tour, twice as a pro.

His biggest win was the 1958 Los Angeles Open.

As an amateur, he was a runner-up in the 1947 Masters to Jimmy Demaret, finished one shot behind Fred Daly at Hoylake in the 1947 British Open and was a runner-up to Ben Hogan at Carnoustie in the 1953 British Open.

“He was my old buddy,” Palmer said Tuesday from his office in Latrobe, Pa. “We were pretty close for a lot of years. He always thought I would be one of his guys and do the muscle thing and all that. And of course, we played against each other a lot.

He was a great guy, a good friend. He played some very good golf.”

Stranahan was devoted to fitness as much as his golf.

He ran in more than 100 marathons, and he was winning trophies for body building and weightlifting well into his 70s. One video shows Stranahan celebrating his 78th birthday with a dead lift of 265 pounds.

Stranahan was born Aug. 5, 1922, and grew up a sportsman at Inverness in Toledo, Ohio, where he was taught by Byron Nelson, who had been hired as the head pro shortly before Nelson won the 1939 U.S. Open.

Stranahan was still a teenager when he won the Ohio Amateur in 1941.

“I would say my greatest accomplishment as an amateur was having the opportunity to play in so many of those wonderful golf tournaments,” Stranahan said in a 2001 interview with the Toledo Blade. “At every tournament, they put me with the winner from the week before. So I was always playing with Demaret, Snead, Locke, Hogan and other tremendous champions. I was playing the best courses with the best players, and it was very satisfying to do well in those situations.”

He tied with Nelson in the 1947 Masters, where Stranahan closed with a 68 to finish two shots behind. His best chance at a major was Hoylake that summer, when he went into the final round one shot behind Daly and matched his 72. Six years later, he closed with a 69 to finish in a tie for second at Carnoustie, four shots behind Hogan.

In one of the more famous tales involving Stranahan, he was not allowed to compete in the 1948 Masters when he was accused of hitting more than one shot into the greens during the practice round. Stranahan said he was only hitting additional putts on the green, which was allowed. No matter. He said club officials revoked his invitation.

“So I bought a ticket, and I stayed there,” Stranahan said in a 1998 interview with Sports Illustrated.

He played the next year and tied for 19th.

Stranahan retired from competition in 1964, though he left quite a mark. Beyond his results, he cut an impressive figure with his movie star looks and physique that he enjoyed showing off in tight-fitting shirts.

Palmer referred to him as “Muscles.”

“He used to carry his weights in a suitcase,” Palmer said. “He’d get the bellman to carry the luggage to his room, but it was so heavy they couldn’t lift it.”

Stranahan married the former Ann Williams in 1953. She became an accomplished amateur golfer until her death in 1975 from cancer. They had three sons Frank Stranahan Jr., who died in 1966 at age 11 from bone cancer; and James, who died in 1977. Stranahan is survived by his third son, Lance.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Flowers, vegetables could affect Snowden’s fate QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — With Edward Snowden stuck in Moscow and Washington pushing hard for his return, many Ecuadoreans began realizing Tuesday that this small country’s deep economic ties with the U.S. could make it the one with the most to lose in the high-stakes international showdown over the National Security Agency leaker.

While President Rafael Correa’s leftist government was virtually silent on Snowden’s request for asylum, Ecuadorean analysts said his fate, or at least his safe harbor in Ecuador, could depend as much on frozen vegetables and flowers as on questions over freedom of expression and international counterterrorism.

Unlike with China, Russia or Cuba, countries where the U.S. has relatively few tools to force Snowden’s handover, the Obama administration could swiftly hit Ecuador in the pocketbook by denying reduced tariffs on cut flowers, artichokes and broccoli.

Those represent hundreds of millions of dollars in annual exports for this country where nearly half of foreign trade depends on the U.S. A denial wouldn’t mean financial devastation for Ecuador, which has been growing healthily in recent years thanks in large part to its oil resources.

Growing ties with China also could give the Ecuadorean government a sense of diminished vulnerability. But analysts and political figures said the prospect of any economic damage could nonetheless alter the political calculus for Correa, a pragmatic leftist who’s long delighted in tweaking the United States but hasn’t yet suffered any major consequences.

“Much of our foreign trade is at stake,” said flower grower Benito Jaramillo, president of the country’s largest association of flower farmers, who shipped more than $300 million in flowers, mostly roses, to the U.S. last year. “They’ve been inserting themselves in a problem that isn’t Ecuador’s, so we’re in a dilemma that we shouldn’t be in.”

The Aeroflot Airbus A330 plane that is to carry National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden on a flight to Havana, Cuba, arrives at the gate at Sheremetyevo airport, Moscow, Monday. Snowden arrived in Moscow on Sunday from Hong Kong, where he had been hiding for several weeks.

For years, Ecuador’s oil, vegetables and roses have kept flowing northward even as Correa has expelled U.S. diplomats and an American military base, publicly hectored the U.S. ambassador and harbored WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at Ecuador’s embassy in London.

Correa’s strongest backers have delighted in his attacks on Washington. And even his detractors have tolerated his foreign policy as the indulgence of a man who has maintained general economic and political stability, funneling billions of U.S. dollars, which are also Ecuador’s currency, to social spending and infrastructure projects.

The president’s office and other government agencies declined comment on Snowden, referring questions to Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino, who said only that he doesn’t know where Snowden is or what travel documents he might be using.

Analysts and politicians said any potential loss to Ecuador could make hosting Snowden a tougher decision than previous ones for Correa, a member of Latin America’s leftist bloc who’s maintained cordial relations with countries like Cuba and Venezuela without marching in lockstep with them.

“The president’s ideology toward the United States is one thing. It’s another thing to be president of a country whose dependence on the U.S. is unavoidable, irreplaceable and extremely valuable, because we sell the U.S. a lot more than we could ever could to any other country,” said former vice president Blasco Penaherrera, member of the center-left Liberal Party.

Many Ecuadoreans see the NSA surveillance revealed by Snowden’s leaks as part of a longstanding and broad pattern of excessive U.S. interference abroad, including in Latin America. So, some people said, asylum for Snowden would be humane and wise despite any

economic consequences.

“On a commercial basis, the U.S. and Ecuador are guided by pragmatism, independent of economic agendas.

Businessmen set priorities based on cost-benefit and because of that I don’t think there are going to be major consequences, because the commercial line is separate from the geopolitical one,” said Pablo Davalos, an economics professor and analyst at the Catholic University in Quito.

But on the streets of the capital, people appeared to be increasingly feeling that their country should keep out of the affair.

“We shouldn’t give him asylum,” said Fredy Prado, a retired shoe company manager.

“Every country needs to take care of itself, its own security.”

The U.S. administration is supposed to decide by Monday whether to grant Ecuador export privileges under the Generalized System of Preferences, a system meant to

spur development and growth in poorer countries.

The deadline was deadline set long before the Snowden affair but conveniently timed for the U.S. More broadly, a larger trade pact allowing reduced tariffs on more than $5 billion in annual exports to the U.S. is up for congressional renewal before July 21.

While approval of the Andean Trade Preference Act has long been seen as doubtful in Washington, Ecuador has been lobbying strongly for its renewal in recent months.

“I hope the government doesn’t decide to give Snowden asylum, because obviously this isn’t in Ecuador’s interests,” said Roberto Aspiazu, chairman of a coalition of Ecuador’s largest industries. “Hopefully the issue will be looked at from the perspective of Ecuador’s interests, and I don’t think it’s in our country’s interest to unnecessarily confront the U.S.”

Egypt blames rumors for acute fuel shortage Angry drivers waiting in long lines for gas CAIRO (AP) Egypt’s — embattled government on Tuesday blamed rumors and corruption for an acute fuel shortage that has had drivers waiting in long lines to fill their tanks straining gas already taught nerves ahead of planned mass demonstrations this weekend demanding the resignation of the president.

Four Cabinet ministers lined up in front of cameras inside the presidential palace late Tuesday, trying to calm citizens’ fears, as the Islamist government appeared desperate to grapple with successive political and economic crises that are hitting the country, adding to public discontent.

Government officials blamed nervous hoarding

and black market diversions for the shortages.

People are stocking up on staples, including fuel, ahead of the protests.

Heavy subsidies on Egypt’s fuel have caused distortions in the economy, encouraging some to make quick profits by illegally reselling gasoline and diesel.

The long lines and short tempers at gas stations are just a symptom of the malaise in Egypt as President Mohammed Morsi completes his first year in office. His opponents plan to mark the June 30 anniversary with a huge demonstration, presenting petitions that organizers say have as many as 15 million signatures calling on him to step down and call an early election.

Morsi’s Islamist sup-

porters plan their own demonstrations, and the fear of clashes has people on edge, leading to crisis behaviors like hoarding, according to officials.

“Worries led citizens to buy gasoline even when their cars’ gas tanks are not empty, which leads to longer lines in front of gas stations,” said Minister of Local Development

”

Mohammed Ali Bishr.

Another factor, ministers said, is the government’s plan to phase out the subsidies with a smart card system to ration fuel. The plan is due to take effect in July, but the government has said that at first, there will be no limits on the quantities of fuel that can be bought.

ity to pay for key imports like food and fuel has been brought into question.

Frequent electric power outages during the searing heat of summer, attributed to inadequate infrastructure and a fuel shortage, have made the situation worse.

Morsi’s opponents blame him for the troubles, charging that he and his Muslim Brotherhood are concentrating on amassing power and excluding others, instead of dealing with Egypt’s challenges.

Morsi’s backers counter that the opposition is trying to force him out of office from the streets, because they have failed in elections.

Morsi was scheduled to deliver a speech to the nation on Wednesday, which many hope might defuse tensions before the planned protests.

The state is able to control the product and provide it across different areas.

— Egyptian Supplies Minister Bassem Ouda

Bassem Ouda dismissed accusations that the government was intentionally limiting supplies of fuel to disrupt the upcoming demonstrations as “baseless.” He also said that Egypt produces 85 percent of its own key grades of gasoline.

“The state is able to control the product and provide it across different areas,” he said.

The fuel shortages are just a symptom of the economic crisis Egypt is facing.

Since the popular revolution that toppled longtime President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, constant turmoil and a security vacuum have frightened away foreign investors and tourists, and Egypt’s foreign currency reserves have plummeted to the critical point.

The Hopewell people lived in Ohio from 100 B.C to 500 A.D. They are best known for building mounds shaped like squares, parallel lines, circles and rectangles. The purpose of the mounds is unknown, but they could have been used for religious and burial ceremonies or as gathering places.

When the Hopewell people built these mounds they carried the dirt basket by basket to the spot where they were constructing the earthen walls. Some walls were eight- to 14feet in height. The Great Circle Earthworks and the Octagon Earthworks are part of the Newark Earthworks located in Newark, Ohio.

It is believed that the mounds were built sometime between 100 B.C. and 300 A.D. Map of the Newark Earthworks At one time, the Newark Courtesy of the Ohio Historical Society Earthworks covered an area of four miles. As the city grew, parts of the walls and many of the mounds were destroyed. The Octagon mound is now a part of the Moundbuilders County Club golf course. Archaeologists found pipes, ceremonial objects, necklaces, bracelets, ornaments and small figurines in the areas where the mounds were destroyed. The Ohio Historical Society protects the two miles of mounds that remain today.

In the mid-1980s, two professors from Earlham University in Richmond, Indiana discovered that the Newark Earthworks could possibly be related to tracking the moon's orbit. In the fall of 2006, there will be a series of moonrises that are aligned with the Octagon. There were moonrises in 2005, but because Moundbuilders Country Club leases the property from the Ohio Historical Society, only memToledo • • Cleveland bers of the country club were allowed to view them. It is • • • the hope of the Friends of the Mounds organization that • • the public will be allowed to enjoy the Earthworks durColumbus ing the 2006 moonrises.

• Dayton In 2005, a fourth-grade class at Newark's Miller • Elementary wrote letters to their state senator, asking • Cincinnati • that he work on a bill that would make the Newark Earthworks Ohio's official prehistoric monument.

Governor Bob Taft signed the bill into law on June 7, 2006.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

You may not like it, but if it’s legal, there’s not much you can do Dear Annie: We live in a quiet family neighborhood. Recently, a neighbor tried to locate the owner of a rental home next door in order to discuss a shared fence issue. When our neighbor could find no contact information through the city department of housing, he searched the Internet. He was shocked to discover that for the past 10 years, the owners have had a porn site registered at that rental home address.

None of us wants a porn site associated with our neighborhood. How should we handle this? — No Name or Location, Please Dear No Name: While we certainly understand your moral objections, these owners seem to be running a legal operation. Most webbased or home-based businesses are fine unless there are customers or employees coming to the house.

There may be a requirement to have a business license, but that's about it. You can contact a lawyer in your city to find out whether there are other possibilities, but we suspect there is nothing you can do, legally, about this. Sorry.

Dear Annie: I share a small workspace with someone who constantly coughs, sneezes, clears her throat, blows her nose and grunts.

Worse, she never covers her mouth, so I am surrounded by airborne germs all day. It's extremely annoying and interferes with my ability to concentrate on my work. I know some of this is allergies, but she also doesn't stay home when she is sick.

I have offered cough drops and antihistamines, which she has refused. I suffer from allergies, as well, but try to keep my symptoms to myself. I have talked to my boss, but she won't deal with it. Other coworkers are unwilling to switch desks with me (understandably). I used to like going to work, but I am ready to hand in my notice. What do you suggest? — Had It with the Hacking Dear Had It: First be more direct with this co-worker, explaining your discomfort and asking her to please cover her nose and mouth.

If that doesn't help, can you complain to the human resources department or a higher-up? Is it possible to move your desk? Would you be willing to wear a surgical mask or filter? Allergies can't always be helped, but people should be considerate of one another.

Dear Annie: I read your advice to "Nervous in Vermont" with much interest, being the parent of a transgender child myself.

Even if an initial conversation may have seemed encouraging, it can be dangerous for trans kids to come out to their parents.

Half of all homeless kids are LGBT, some as young as 12, and were kicked out of their parents' home after coming out to their families. And a staggering number of trans kids end up committing suicide if met with scorn, shame or parental refusal to accept or discuss the subject. Coming out must be done eventually, but unless the child is nearing 18 or has contingency plans, one must take into consideration the things that can go wrong.

I'd like to offer a couple of parental resources for such situations: Trans Youth Family Allies (imatyfa.org) is a wonderful group of parents of trans kids that includes a support email list, as well as organized trainings for schools and other organizations.

Gender Spectrum (genderspectrum.org) holds a yearly Gender Spectrum Family conference in Oakland, Calif., as well as a transmasculine oriented Gender Spectrum conference in Seattle, Wash.

These two groups can be of incredible assistance to parents after their kids have come out.

We've found that going through the process of accepting our kids is not dissimilar to the grieving process.

What is lost is not the person (thank goodness), but our hopes, dreams and plans for our child. We fear for them and their future. But we support each other and learn to move on, create new dreams and celebrate our children's true identities. — Sara Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Believe it or not, pimentos are little peppers!

Dear Heloise: I often see pimentos used in recipes and, of course, stuffed in olives, but what exactly are they?

— Kevin H., via email They are little, heart-shaped red peppers! But they are not hot like a chili pepper. They are seeded, peeled, cored and cooked before being diced/sliced and packaged in jars. They have a sweet flavor and can be added to salads (potato and coleslaw are favorites), sandwiches and, of course, cheese. The “pimento” in olives is made from the same red pepper, but is processed into uniform pieces.

One of my favorite recipes that uses pimentos is my mother’s (the

Hints from Heloise Columnist original Heloise, 1919-1977) Heloise’s Pimento Cheese Spread.

To make it, you need the following ingredients: 1 pound boxed soft cheese (or any style cheese that can be grated) 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup finely chopped pickles (your favorite kind)

4 ounces pimentos Grate the cheese (if necessary) using a food processor or the large side of a cheese grater. Place a large piece of plastic wrap or wax paper on the counter. Now you are going to layer your ingredients, starting with the grated cheese/soft cheese, followed by the mayonnaise, pimentos and pickles. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients over and over from the bottom to the top. Repeat the process until all the ingredients are gone. Next, store the spread in jars, making sure they are sealed tight, and place in the refrigerator. For other favorite recipes, order my Heloise AllTime Favorite Recipes pamphlet

by sending $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/All-Time, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Keep a jar of pimentos in the pantry to add to egg salad, deviled eggs, potato salad or a side salad. They add a touch of “red” to the plate. — Heloise MORE GRAVY Dear Heloise: When making gravy (from drippings) and you need a larger amount, add some similar store-bought gravy to yours (beef, turkey, etc.). The amount added depends on the amount needed and the flavor you want. I can at least double the amount of “homemade” gravy I need. — Alice L. in New York

Flames make matters worse for N.M. ranchers ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A furious wildfire torching through the mountains of southern New Mexico’s Gila National Forest has grown to 127 square miles, forcing some ranchers to ship their cattle out of state as the blaze burns through entire grazing areas.

The Silver Fire was still about 5 miles west of the nearest community, but it has left ranchers in this drought-stricken corner of the state with few choices for feeding their cattle. State agriculture officials said the combination of drought and fire has forced some ranchers to ship what remaining cattle they have to other areas, including South Texas.

“There are poor range conditions statewide,” said Les Owen, a range resource specialist with the New Mexico Department of Agriculture. “Finding grass that doesn’t have some cattle on it or some areas of rangeland that haven’t been destocked because there’s just no grass left is nearly

Agriculture officials have public or even private land where reached out to the U.S. Forest any displaced ranchers might be Service and Bureau of Land able to graze their cattle while the

Silver Fire continues to eat up parts of the Gila forest.

While forest officials had already limited the number of cattle allowed on the Gila this year due to the dry conditions, at least 150 cattle were forced from one allotment due to the fire.

There have been no reports of livestock lost, officials said.

In all, wildfires have burned more than 192 square miles around New Mexico over the last month, and managers assigned to the Silver Fire expected that blaze the largest currently burning in the state to continue marching north and west.

By Tuesday afternoon, the fire was 20 percent contained and no structures had been burned.

“They’ve done a very good job to the south,” fire information officer Rob Deyerberg said. “They’re continuing to herd it to the north and look for opportunities for containment. But with that very difficult terrain plus the challenges of the

weather, there’s been no opportunity to establish line up there.”

Deyerberg said firefighters were looking for places where they could use the topography and forest fuels to their advantage.

In northern New Mexico, the lightning-sparked Jaroso Fire was burning in the rugged, steep canyons of the Pecos Wilderness.

The plume of smoke could be seen over the last two days from as far south as Albuquerque.

The fire has burned through more than 12 square miles of bugkilled trees and an area where a 2007 wind event blew down thousands of trees, leaving them piled one on top of each other like toothpicks.

Firefighters have not been able to directly attack the flames because of the dangerous conditions, managers said.

The fire was about 10 miles from the communities of Pecos and Truchas. Officials have not called for any evacuations.

BP mounts ad campaign in settlement dispute objective criteria, in exchange for a class-wide release,” the plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote in a filing last month.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys asserted that BP had pointed to “four examples out of more than 40,000 filed claims that it hopes will shock this Court,” and then relied on its own experts to claim “mistakes” or “overpayments.”

The judge’s ruling has not deterred BP. Last week, BP called for an independent investigation of alleged misconduct by an attorney who worked on Juneau’s staff.

The lawyer, Lionel H. Sutton III, resigned last Friday a day after Juneau delivered a report to Barbier that outlined the allegations.

A law firm allegedly paid Sutton a portion of settlement proceeds from claims he referred to the firm before he went to work for Juneau.

In a statement, BP said only a “comprehensive and

But the judge upheld the claims administrator’s interpretation of settlement terms that govern how businesses’ pre- and post-spill revenue and expenses and the time periods for those dollar amounts are used to calculate their awards.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys who brokered the class-

action settlement with BP have said the payments to businesses were clearly spelled out in the agreement.

They claim BP simply undervalued the settlement and underestimated how many claimants would qualify for payments.

BP’s appeal is the latest in a series of attempts by the company to effectively “deny recovery to Class Members whom BP had previously agreed should be compensated, according to negotiated,

uled to hear the case on July 8.

BP’s ad claims Barbier’s ruling “interprets the settlement in a way no one intended” and results in settlement payouts to businesses that didn’t suffer any spill-related losses.

“Even though we’re appealing the misinterpretation of the agreement, we want you to know that the litigation over this issue has not in any way changed our commitment to the Gulf,” it says.

BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said the newspaper ad is consistent with the company’s efforts to keep the public informed of its economic and environmental restoration efforts.

“It explains the actions we are taking to defend the contract we agreed to and to assure the integrity of the claims process,” he said in a statement. “But it is also intended to make clear that BP remains as committed today as it was three years ago to doing the right thing. While we are actively litigating the payments by the claims program for inflated and even fictitious losses, we remain fully committed to paying legitimate claims due to the accident.”

Barbier appointed Lafayette-based attorney Patrick Juneau to administer the settlement program. BP has accused

40208966

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP is placing a full-page advertisement in three of the nation’s largest newspapers today as the company mounts an aggressive campaign to challenge what could be billions of dollars in settlement payouts to businesses following its 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The ad, scheduled to run in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, accuses “trial lawyers and some politicians” of encouraging Gulf Coast businesses to submit thousands of claims for inflated or non-existent losses.

“Whatever you think about BP, we can all agree that it’s wrong for anyone to take money they don’t deserve,” the ad says. “And it’s unfair to everyone in the Gulf commercial fishermen, restaurant and hotel owners, and all the other hard-working people who’ve filed legitimate claims for real losses.”

In April, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier upheld a court-appointed claims administrator’s interpretation of the multi-billion dollar settlement it reached with a group of plaintiffs’ attorneys.

The London-based oil giant appealed the decision.

A three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is sched-

independent investigation” of the allegations involving Sutton will ensure the “integrity” of the claims process.

BP estimated more than a year ago that it would spend roughly $7.8 billion to resolve tens of thousands of claims by businesses and individuals covered by the settlement. The company now says it can’t give a reliable estimate for the total value of the deal.

Barbier also heard testimony earlier this year for a first phase of a trial designed to identify the causes of BP’s April 2010 well blowout and assign percentages of fault to the companies involved.

Billions more hinge on the outcome of the trial, which includes claims by the federal government and Gulf states. It’s unclear whether Barbier will issue any substantive rulings before the trial’s second phase, which is scheduled to start in the fall.

The number of military suicides is nearly double that of a decade ago when the U.S. was just a year into the Afghan war and hadn’t yet invaded Iraq. cides among troops and veterans because potential victims often don’t seek counseling given the stigma still associated by many with mental illnesses or the deeply personal nature a failed romantic relationship, for example of a problem that often precedes suicide. Experts also cite illicit drug use, alcohol and financial woes.

The number of suicides is nearly double that of a decade ago when the United States was just a year into the Afghan war and hadn’t yet invaded Iraq. While the pace is down slightly this year, it remains worryingly high.

The military says about 22 veterans kill themselves every day and a

beefed up and more responsive VA could help.

But how to tackle the spiking suicide number among active-duty troops, which is tracking a similar growth in suicide numbers in the general population, remains in question. The big increase in suicides among the baby boomer population especially linked by many to the recent recession actually began a decade before the 2008 financial meltdown.

Compounding the problem, the VA which administers health and other government benefits for veterans has a huge backlog of disability, medical and other claims resulting from service in the military. Eric Shinseki, head of the VA and a former

Army general, promises to have the backlog erased but not before 2015. The Pentagon and Veteran Affairs are working to install compatible computer systems to speed up the process. And the VA just reported it had cut the backlog of claims pending more than 125 days by 15 percent in recent weeks.

Jason Hansman, of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, says the problem among military men and women stems from a support system that falls far short of the needs of a military and its veterans.

“One of the big problems now is that we are trying to play catch-up on 10-plus years of war.

People have gone back and

forth seven, eight, nine times. And now you have a force that is stretched to its limit,” Hansman said.

“It’s not just people who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan who are killing themselves. About 50 percent are people who’ve never deployed before. So there’s this broader issue going on in the military. Are there even the health services in the military to take care of the troops who have deployed, who have no first-hand knowledge of war and trauma.”

Miller had plenty of first-hand experience.

“I was really good at combat. I was really good at that job. It was when I was in the States that I had a problem,” he said from his home in Old Town, Maine, where he and his second wife are working toward doctorates in history at the University of Maine.

He said symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome began building as did the effects of a number of concussions that caused mild traumatic brain injury. He had gone through elite Ranger training twice and became a jump-master in the 82nd Airborne. He ignored his symptoms because he didn’t want to leave combat and his job as a platoon leader. When he finally sought help from the military during his last rotation in the United States, he found what he said was a “19th century” attitude.

“I remember a psychologist telling me ‘officers don’t get PTSD.’ It was a real affront.”

A few days after he nearly killed himself on

WASHINGTON (AP) — Five years ago, Joe Miller, then an Army Ranger captain with three Iraq tours under his belt, sat inside his home near Fort Bragg holding a cocked Beretta 40mm, and prepared to kill himself.

He didn’t pull the trigger. So Miller’s name wasn’t added to the list of active-duty U.S. military men and women who have committed suicide. That tally reached 350 last year, a record pace of nearly one a day. That’s more than the 295 American troops who were killed in Afghanistan in the same year.

“I didn’t see any hope for me at the time.

Everything kind of fell apart,” Miller said.

“Helplessness, worthlessness. I had been having really serious panic attacks. I had been hospitalized for a while.” He said he pulled back at the last minute when he recalled how he had battled the enemy in Iraq, and decided he would fight his own depression and post-traumatic stress.

The U.S. military and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) acknowledge the grave difficulties facing activeduty and former members of the armed services who have been caught up in the more-than decadelong American involvement in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The system struggles to prevent sui-

July 3, 2008, Miller mustered out of the service and resumed treatment for PTSD at a VA facility in Richmond, Virginia.

The treatment was helpful but his feelings about the VA are “really mixed. My take is they are a bunch of really wellmeaning people. I don’t know that it’s resourced for the tasks.” Also huge numbers of veterans a tiny portion of the larger population live in small towns, far from the cities where veteran services are available.

The American public, largely untouched by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because an all-volunteer military did the fighting, is gradually becoming aware of the problems faced by activeduty troops and military veterans. Now, some in Congress and President Barack Obama are trying to improve on the country’s ability to take care of those who have signed up to fight.

None of that, however, undoes the anguish of such people as Ashley Whisler, whose brother Kyle killed himself Oct. 24, 2010. He had been driving convoys of supplies to U.S. troops from Kuwait shortly after the American invasion in 2003. He hanged himself in his home in Brandon, Florida, seven years after leaving the military. He had returned to his family in Michigan then moved to Florida, married and had a daughter. He and his wife separated before reconciling. He worked in a tattoo parlor, tended bar began showing and increasing signs of PTSD. He hanged himself while his wife and daughter slept.

Ashley Whisler said her brother spoke of fears of being ambushed when he was driving to work in Florida. After Kyle killed himself, her brother’s friends told her how Kyle repeatedly called to talk about the horrors he had witnessed in Iraq and of how he couldn’t sleep if there was a thunderstorm.

While she and her parents don’t directly blame the military or the VA for Kyle’s death, she does not let the department off the hook.

“These guys are coming back from the war and just being thrown back into society without any kind of transition or any kind of support. It’s very difficult,” she said.

Joe Miller says his military training, in the end, kept him alive.

“I had a gun in my hand. The second I cocked the weapon, I was back in Ranger mode and Ranger mode is not to kill yourself.”

Attack shows militant spirit unbroken CLASSIFIEDS KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban attack at the gates of the Afghan presidential palace cast a cold light Tuesday on the course of a war that Washington remains committed to ending.

A week after NATO forces handed all security operations to the Afghans, local forces fought off the attackers on their own, killing all eight militants without calling in any coalition help. But the assault also made clear that the Taliban’s fighting spirit remains unbroken and demonstrated their ability to bluff their way past two checkpoints and storm a highly fortified zone of the capital.

The firefight took place in Ariana square, about 500 meters (yards) and several more checkpoints away from the presidential palace, where President Hamid Karzai was apparently preparing for a speech later in the morning.

The attack could complicate American efforts to try to get Karzai’s government to sit down with the Taliban to talk peace. U.S. President Barack Obama later talked with Karzai in a video conference that lasted more than an hour and covered issues including the peace process and the newly opened Taliban political office in the Gulf nation of Qatar, Karzai’s office said without giving further details.

The White House said Obama and Karzai affirmed that Afghanistan, not the U.S., must lead the reconciliation process.

The leaders also said they still support meetings between Afghanistan’s High Peace Council and Taliban representatives at a political office the Taliban recently opened in Qatar.

The Taliban have said they would continue fighting even as they pursued peace talks, and the attack served to drive that home, said Moeen Marastial, a political analyst and former member of the Afghan parliament.

“The main point is the Taliban wants to show to the government of Afghanistan and to the world and to the powers who are working for the peace process that they are in power,” Marastial said.

“They can come close to the palace, they can come close to the places where NATO is, where American forces are they wanted to show to the world that ‘we can do it.’”

The gunbattle started about 6:30 a.m. near the east gate leading to the palace next to the Afghan Ministry of Defense and the former Ariana Hotel, which former U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed is used by the CIA. One carload of Taliban fighters dressed in military-style camouflage uniforms emerged from their black Land Cruiser and started shooting. Another got stuck between two checkpoints and detonated their explosives-laden vehicle.

The Taliban said all eight of its fighters died in the attack, while the Interior Ministry said three

Afghan national security arrive near the entrance gate of the presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan Tuesday. Suicide attackers blew up a car bomb and battled security forces outside the presidential palace Tuesday after infiltrating one of the most secure areas of the capital. security guards were killed and another wounded.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility, saying in an emailed statement that “eight of our suicide bombers were able to reach the most secure area of Kabul,” identifying them by name and saying they were carrying hand grenades, a machine gun and rocket-propelled grenades.

“The brave mujahedeen, with special tactics and help from inside, were able to reach their target with their weapons and cars,” he said. He said their targets were the CIA building, the palace and the Defense Ministry and claimed “a number of foreign invaders were killed and wounded in the attack.”

Karzai reacted sharply, saying that the Taliban cannot on one hand open an office for peace in Qatar and on the other hand kill people in Afghanistan.

“The enemies of the people of Afghanistan once again proved with their failed attack that they are against peace, stability and progress in Afghanistan,” he said.

The Taliban have refused to negotiate with Karzai’s government in the past, saying the U.S. holds effective control in Afghanistan, but the Americans are hoping to bring the two sides together. Long-stalled negotiations have become more urgent with Afghan presidential elections and the withdrawal of most U.S. and other foreign combat troops looming in 2014.

The Americans announced last week that they planned to begin formal talks with the Taliban in

Doha, which would be followed by talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government.

But when the Taliban opened the Doha office under the name “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” and the flag it used while ruling Afghanistan, Karzai and other Afghans reacted sharply, saying that agreements had been violated and that the office was more akin to a rival embassy than a bureau for peace negotiations.

The Taliban have since been forced to remove the offending flag and sign but no peace talks have yet begun and the incident served to highlight the tensions between the various sides.

After Tuesday’s attack, U.S. Ambassador James Cunningham urged an end to the violence and again pushed for the Taliban to open peace negotiations.

“All of the attackers were killed, without success in achieving their goals This again demonstrates the futility of the Taliban’s efforts to use violence and terror to achieve their aims,” he said in a statement.

“We again call on the Taliban to come to the table to talk to the Afghanistan government about peace and reconciliation.”

The palace is in a large fortified area of downtown Kabul that also includes the U.S. Embassy and the headquarters for the NATO-led coalition forces, and access is heavily restricted.

Some Kabul residents initially thought the gunfire was a coup attempt because the idea of a Taliban attack within the security zone seemed so unlikely.

A group of journalists, including from The Associated Press,

were waiting to enter the palace grounds for a news event with Karzai when they witnessed the start of the attack. The journalists took cover behind a religious shrine, pulling a young boy off the street who had been caught in the open on his way to school.

Kabul police chief Gen. Mohamad Ayub Salangi said the gunmen jumped out of their SUV and opened fire after the second vehicle was stopped by security forces while trying to use fake documents to get through a checkpoint. The second vehicle’s car bomb then exploded.

Smoke could be seen coming from the area of the hotel where the CIA is said to be located, but there was no immediate indication any of the buildings were hit in the attack.

Also early Tuesday, in the southern province of Kandahar, a minibus hit a bomb buried in the road, killing 11 members of a groom’s family on their way to an engagement party, said Kandahar governor’s spokesman Ahmad Jawed Faisal.

Faisal said the dead included eight women, two children and a man, and two other men were also wounded.

In Oruzgan, the province north of Kandahar, provincial governor’s spokesman Abdullah Hemat said Tuesday that six Afghan national police were killed the day before when their patrol was attacked with a roadside bomb.

And a NATO convoy was hit with a roadside bomb in the province of Ghazni, southwest of Kabul, destroying a vehicle but causing no casualties.

Blackhawks capture Stanley Cup title When Rocky Wirtz took over the Chicago Blackhawks six years ago, they were among the worst teams in the NHL. See Page 16.

Williams stretches winning streak LONDON (AP) — After a week filled by a headline-grabbing, off-court tiff with Maria Sharapova and a series of apologies stemming from a magazine profile, Serena Williams got back to doing what she does best.

Better than anyone in the world right now, really.

Extending her winning streak to 32 matches, the longest single-season run on the women’s tour since 2000, Williams began her bid for a sixth Wimbledon championship and 17th Grand Slam title overall with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over 92nd-ranked Mandy Minella of Luxembourg on Tuesday.

“You can call her pretty much unbeatable,” Minella said. “She’s playing better than ever. … Every time she steps on court, you can see why.”

And yet Williams, the defending champion at the All England Club, and Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach who’s been helping her during the current 75-3 stretch that dates to the start of Wimbledon last year, both gave this assessment: There are areas of her AP PHOTO game that could use some fine-tuning.

“After today, there’s so many ways Serena Williams competes against Mandy Minella during their Women’s first round singles match at the that I can improve,” the No. 1-ranked All England Lawn Tennis Championships Tuesday in and No. 1-seeded Williams said, “and Wimbledon, London. that I’m going to need to improve if I

want to be in the second week of this tournament.”

Really? How about some examples?

“Come on,” Williams replied, tilting her head and smiling.

Here was Mouratoglou’s take after watching Williams win her first 17 service points and compile a 25-5 edge in total winners on Centre Court: “I mean, of course, not everything is perfect yet. It’s interesting to see what we need to work on for the (coming) days.”

They also agreed that she did not have too hard a time setting aside the events of the previous seven days, which included a lot of saying “I’m sorry” face-to-face with Sharapova, at a news conference, in two separate statements posted on the web over things Williams was quoted as saying in a Rolling Stone story. Williams made a negative reference in a phone conversation to a top-five player’s love life (the piece’s author surmised that was about Sharapova) and an off-the-cuff remark about a widely publicized rape case in the U.S. that was perceived by some as criticizing the victim.

“It hasn’t been a distraction,” Williams insisted. “I’m just here to focus on the tennis.”

Rookies learn X’s and O’s of life

Cleveland Browns’ Leon McFadden, right, Jamoris Slaughter, second from right, Garrett Gilkey, back, and Armonty Bryant, front left, lead a cheer with area youngsters during a Play 60 event as part of NFL football's rookie symposium at the Cleveland Browns practice facility Tuesday in Berea.

BEREA (AP) — The money can disappear, the fame can vanish. This week, NFL rookies are being reminded that the game’s hardest knocks often happen off the field.

During the league’s annual Rookie Symposium, first-year players are getting a crash course into everything that goes into being a professional athlete the good, and the bad. The NFL wants its newest members to be prepared not only for what awaits them this season, but for the years ahead, especially those days when they’re no longer making big paychecks or big plays.

Through various educa-

tional seminars, candid, sometimes heartbreaking speeches and panel discussions, players are learning the X’s and O’s of life.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to be out here learning from players who’ve been here, been in our shoes and who are where we want to be,” said San Diego Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o, the former Notre Dame star who this year was the target of a hoax involving a fake girlfriend. “As we get into the next phase of our lives, it’s a new phase, something we’re not used to, so to keep our circle small and remember the people who have always been there for you.”

The AFC’s rookie class arrived in Aurora, Ohio, on Sunday to begin the fourday session, which the league has constructed as a teaching and bonding experience. The NFC rookies arrive Wednesday and stay through Sunday.

On Monday, players attended a seminar titled: “Are You Bigger Than The Game?” that featured Cincinnati cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones and former Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett as speakers.

Jones recently pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and has had other off-the-field issues that led to league

suspensions. He talked frankly about his many errors and warned players about them.

“He’s always been a guy who has preached don’t do the same mistakes he’s done,” said New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith, who knows Jones because both played at West Virginia. “He’s made a lot of mistakes in his career, but he’s a guy who is still standing strong and still working hard. He’s using his past trials and tribulations to try and help us.”

Because Jones is still an active player and Clarett’s story is well documented, their messages resonated with the young players.

Future looks bright

Orioles score 6-3 win over Indians

Blackhawks expect to compete for years to come CHICAGO (AP) — When Rocky Wirtz took over the Chicago Blackhawks six years ago, they were among the worst teams in the NHL. Fast forward to Tuesday, when the owner mingled with fans and friends hours after the Blackhawks flew home with the Stanley Cup for the second time in four seasons. It’s been quite the turnaround, and the 60year-old Wirtz thinks there is more to come.

“I think we’re going to see a lot of good years ahead of us,” he said.

It sure looks that way.

Unlike in 2010, when the title-winning team underwent changes because of salary-cap issues, the Blackhawks will be able to bring back many of their top players next season when they try to become the first repeat Stanley Cup winner since the Detroit Red Wings in 1998.

Forwards Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp, and defensemen Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are all under contract for at least two more seasons. Brandon Saad, one of the finalists for the Calder Trophy given to the NHL’s top rookie, is years away from restricted free agency.

“I think there’s something about our core,” said Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs. “Hopefully we can stay together a long time, because that’s two Cups in four years, and we seem to only be getting better and better as players as time goes on here.”

The Blackhawks lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons, but general manager Stan Bowman decided to stay the course.

He kept Joel Quenneville in place even though the coach was hired by his predecessor, Dale Tallon.

Corey Crawford was given time to develop in goal, and he rewarded the organization’s patience with a terrific performance in this year’s playoffs. Kane matured into one of the NHL’s top players.

Ask Wirtz and team president John McDonough about the Blackhawks’ turnaround, and their response often includes some variation of hire the right people and

BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis and Alexi Casilla homered in a fiverun seventh inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians 6-3 Tuesday night to end a four-game losing streak.

Davis tied the game at 3 with his major leagueleading 28th home run, a two-run shot, and Casilla added a three-run drive.

Both homers were off Justin Masterson (9-6), who took a three-hitter into the seventh.

Chris Tillman (9-2) gave up three runs, four hits and four walks in seven innings to win his fifth straight start. The right-hander is 6-0 in seven starts since May 19.

Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his 27th save.

Jason Kipnis homered, walked twice and singled for the Indians, who were seeking a fourth straight road victory for the first time since April 2012.

Masterson, who was perfect through four innings, ended up allow-

ing six runs and six hits in 6 1-3 innings.

The Baltimore seventh began with Masterson hitting Adam Jones with a pitch and Davis sending the right-hander’s next offering into the bleachers. After Matt Wieters drew a walk and Chris Dickerson reached on a check-swing grounder, Casilla the No.9 hitter in the lineup cleared the bases.

It was Casilla’s first home run since August 8, 2012 also off Masterson.

That was enough to end a four-game skid in which Baltimore lost three games to Toronto and another to Cleveland by a combined 29-15 score.

Cleveland used a single, two walks and a sacrifice fly by Michael Brantley to go up 1-0 in the first inning.

In the second, the Indians put runners at the corners with no outs but could not score. After allowing six of the first 12 Cleveland batters to reach base, Tillman retired the next six in a row.

Documents sealed in Hernandez incident

everyone back.

According to CapGeek.com, forwards Bryan Bickell, Michal Handzus, Viktor Stalberg and Jamal Mayers, defenseman Michal Rozsival and goalie Ray Emery are eligible for unrestricted free agency.

Bickell is likely headed for a big pay day that would put him out of Chicago’s reach unless it decides to shed salary to make room for the physical winger. The 6-foot-4 Bickell had nine goals and eight assists in the playoffs, including the tying score at the end of the third period in the Blackhawks’ titleclinching 3-2 victory at Boston on Monday night.

Stalberg and Emery probably won’t be back, as well. Stalberg was in and out of the lineup during

the playoffs after he had nine goals and 14 assists in his third season with Chicago. With Crawford’s emergence, Emery didn’t make a postseason appearance, and the Blackhawks also signed Antti Raanta of Finland in June.

“What you’re going to have with a hard salary cap, you have to keep bringing in younger players all the time,” Wirtz said. “You can’t just go up the free-agent market and buy a team. You have to do it the old-fashioned way and it’s developing it.”

They certainly made all the right moves this year, when the Blackhawks stormed to the league’s best record for the lockoutshortened season. They earned at least one point in the first 24 games, setting an NHL record.

ATTLEBORO, Mass.

(AP) — A Massachusetts court said Tuesday it has sealed documents related to the killing of a semipro football player found dead a mile from the home of Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

Attleboro District Court officials said documents related to the case, including search warrants, have been impounded, meaning the public can’t see them. No charges have been filed.

State police have searched in and around Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough several times. At least three search warrants have been issued in connection with the investigation.

Odin Lloyd, who played for the semi-pro Boston Bandits, was found slain June 17. The 27-year-old’s relatives said he was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee and that the two men were friends.

Hernandez’s attorney has said he will refrain from commenting on the substance of the investi-

Murray, last year’s runnerup at the All England Club, are the only two left.

“It’s hard for all the British players to come in here and, you know, lose first round,” said Robson, who beat Kim Clijsters at the 2012 U.S. Open in the last match of the four-time major champion’s career, “because you just feel extra disappointed.”

Other women winning easily included No. 4

Agnieszka Radwanska, the 2012 runner-up to Williams; 2011 French Open champion Li Na; and No. 7 Angelique Kerber, who eliminated Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the U.S. 6-3, 6-4.

Nadal’s straight-set loss to 135th-ranked Steve Darcis was still a main topic of conversation, and top-seeded Novak Djokovic called it a reminder that “you cannot take anything

or anybody for granted.”

“To be honest, I was expecting him to be a bit rusty on the court,” Djokovic said. “In the opening rounds, obviously, it’s very dangerous for top players who haven’t been playing on grass. … On the other side of the net is somebody that is lower ranked, he has nothing to lose, so he’s going for his shots.”

The steady leadership in the front office is one of the reasons Chicago is the first franchise with two titles since the NHL instituted a salary cap in 2005.

“I think Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac and Norm Maciver and everybody in our hockey operations, they do a meticulous job,” McDonough said, “and they’ve been planning for this offseason as we did before for months and months, so we’ll be ready for it.

“We’re going to do everything we can and try to keep as many of these guys as we can and just keep this rolling.”

But with the salary cap dropping to $64.3 million next season, it’s going to be next to impossible for the Blackhawks to bring

gation while it is ongoing.

Reporters have been camped out for days at Hernandez’s sprawling home on the Rhode Island line, not far from the stadium where the Patriots play.

They reported Tuesday that Hernandez got a visit from Boston defense attorney James Sultan.

A spokesman for Michael Fee, the attorney who has been representing Hernandez, said Tuesday that Sultan’s firm, Rankin & Sultan, has been co-counsel on the case from the beginning. Among other wellknown cases, Sultan helped win a new trial for a former New York banking executive accused of fatally stabbing his former girlfriend on the exclusive island of Nantucket.

The Patriots drafted Hernandez, who is originally from Bristol, Conn., out of the University of Florida in 2010. Last summer, the team gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million.

34th-ranked Florian Mayer of Germany 6-3, 7-5, 6-4, the only real hitch was when he slipped to the Centre Court grass. No. 4 David Ferrer, who reached his first Grand Slam final at the French Open but lost to Nadal, took two falls and said he felt a “little bit of pain” in his left ankle during a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 victory over 101st-ranked Martin Alund of Argentina.

■ Tennis

Wimbledon ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 All in all, by easily winning her first match since winning the French Open on June 8, she helped restore order at Wimbledon 24 hours after a chaotic Day 1 that included the only firstround Grand Slam loss of 12-time major champion Rafael Nadal’s career and a scary-looking, kneetwisting tumble by two-

time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka during her win.

The highest-seeded player to depart Tuesday was No. 10 Maria Kirilenko, beaten 6-3, 6-4 by teenager Laura Robson, the first British woman to beat a top-10 player at Wimbledon in 15 years. Of the 10 local players who entered the tournament, Robson and reigning U.S. Open champion Andy

■ National Basketball Association

James says he’s not thinking about 2014 MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James has this summer on his mind, and is already starting to plan for next season.

The summer of 2014, that can wait.

James said Tuesday that he is not thinking about the possibility of becoming a free agent in 12 months, though he did acknowledge that the prospects of competing with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley for several more championships with the Miami Heat is more than a tiny bit intriguing.

“That’s the goal,” James said. “That’s the ultimate finish. And we all hope that can happen, obviously.”

James’ final interview session of this season revealed plenty in 17 minutes, including that he’s already feeling an itch to get back on the basketball court after just a few days off, that he’ll stop at nothing to give longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson anything she wants on their wedding day in a couple months, and that he’s making no secret of his hope that the Heat bring back at least the majority of this year’s championship roster.

The most interesting news, however, was when he spoke of his short- and long-term plans. First, he’s vowing to come back better next season, which is no small promise from someone with four MVP awards, two Finals MVP awards and who carries the tag of “best player in the world.” And then next summer, it certainly sounds as if he’s going to give the prospects of staying in Miami a good, long look.

“This is what we came here for, so that would be the ultimate,” James said.

“But you can never … I don’t know, life changes, things happen, and we have to be prepared for that. But this is what we all want to be here for, that’s to be able to compete for a championship each and every year. And if we can do that, then it’d be awesome.”

James scored 37 points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, carrying the Heat to their second straight championship in a season where he picked up his fourth MVP award.

He’s gotten to the championship series in all three of his seasons with Miami, falling to Dallas in 2011,

Miami Heat players laugh as they watch highlights of center Chris Bosh, right, during a celebration for season ticket holders Monday at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. Other players from left are: Shane Battier, Juwan Howard, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis. The Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs 95-88 in Game 7 to win their second straight NBA championship. then beating Oklahoma City last season and the Spurs this year.

The team gathered for physicals and a quick meeting on Tuesday, and now begins the process of scattering for vacation and

other business. James will make his annual trip with Nike to China next month, not long after Wade does some business there.

And already, James sounds like he’s missing the group that he spent

the past nine months with.

“It’s like, ‘Damn, I wish we could come back in the locker room, have another practice, take another flight, have another bus ride with those 15 guys,’”

James said. “That’s what it’s all about. You miss the guys throughout the summer. I know my family probably doesn’t want to hear that, but it’s the truth.”

It was not a Finals without speed bumps for James, who failed to score 20 points in any of the first three games against the Spurs. And after Miami lost Game 5 in San Antonio, James had to prepare without one of his most faithful sounding boards.

Maverick Carter, James’ longtime friend and perhaps his most trusted confidant, wouldn’t talk with him for days after Game 5, other than challenging him by saying that great players have to be great in the biggest moments.

James responded with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in Game 6, then the 37-point outburst in Game 7.

“That’s why I like the guys around me, off the court,” James said. “It’s not just a bed of roses with us. They’ve been around me too long to allow me to be careless or not stepping up to the plate at the highest level, not in basketball but in everything.”

Tokyo gets most IOC praise in evaluation LONDON (AP) — Less than three months before the IOC vote, Tokyo received the most praise Tuesday in a technical assessment of the three cities bidding for the 2020 Olympics.

The IOC evaluation report said Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid all offer “high quality” bids and present their own “unique approach” to hosting the Summer Games.

The report touched on the financial crisis in Spain, saying Madrid’s Olympic project was feasible despite the recession. The report was finalized in April and did not address the antigovernment protests that have swept across Turkey recently and raised questions about Istanbul’s bid.

Overall, Tokyo received the most glowing marks from the report, which described the Japanese capital as “a modern, dynamic city that sets global trends” and praised its compact venue plans and “one of the most modern and efficient public transport systems in the world.”

The 110-page report, which is designed as a risk analysis, does not rank or grade the cities. But the document lays out strengths and weaknesses which are poured over closely by the candidate cities in the final stages of the race.

All three can take positives from the report, which was prepared for International Olympic Committee members ahead of a briefing by the bid cities next week in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The IOC will select the host city by secret ballot on Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Istanbul is bidding for a fifth time. Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 Olympics, is back for a second consecutive effort, and Madrid is trying for a third straight time.

The evaluation commission was chaired by IOC Vice President Craig Reedie of Britain. His panel visited each of the three cities in March.

“We are indeed very pleased with the quality of

each bid and it is clear that the IOC members will have a difficult choice to make this September in Buenos Aires,” Reedie said.

The report’s influence on the race is uncertain. Not all IOC members read the evaluation reports carefully if at all and host-city votes are often driven by personal and geopolitical reasons more than technical issues.

The presentations to IOC members on July 3-4 are likely to be more crucial.

It was at a similar briefing in 2009 where Rio de Janeiro, which did not rank highly in the technical report, seized the momentum in the race for the 2016 Olympics.

The report said Tokyo’s bid seeks to lift the nation’s spirits following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011. It said Tokyo had “well thought-out proposals” for ensuring “safe and secure games” and cited its $4.5 billion reserve fund money in the bank for financing Olympic construction.
