Consumer sentiment stays near 6-year high Rising household wealth cited

WASHINGTON (AP) — A measure of U.S. consumer confidence stayed near a six-year high in June as higher home prices boosted household wealth. The survey shows Americans remain upbeat about the economy, despite wild gyrations in the stock market.

The University of Michigan said Friday that its final reading of consumer sentiment in June was 84.1. That’s an improvement from a preliminary reading of 82.7 issued on June 14. And it is just slightly below May’s final reading of 84.5, which was the highest since July 2007.

Rising household wealth was

the main reason consumers stayed with optimistic. Households income above $75,000, those more likely to own homes and stocks, reported the biggest gain.

Consumers’ confidence is closely watched because their spending accounts for 70 percent of economic growth.

Stocks pared steep early morning losses after the report was released.

Fred Green discusses the new barn recently constructed at the Miami County Fairgrounds.

Give a dog a home Canines get new building at Miami County Fairgrounds

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Miami County’s canines will finally have their very own doghouse to call home at the Miami County Fairgrounds.

According to Echo Hills Kennel Club director Charley McMaster, the club began working with fair officials to add the facility to the county fairgrounds nearly four years ago.

McMaster said the group raised approximately $95,000 to build the facility, which will house dog training and

agility sessions yearround.

“It’s a multi-purpose building that can be used all year-round,” McMaster said. The Kennel Club used to use the goat arena to hold agility training classes, which will now be moved to the new barn, which is insulated, but has a gravel, sand and soil floor.

“We donated the building to the fairgrounds for us to use three times a week,” McMaster said.

Events such as agility courses for dogs to train and compete in sanctioned events will take place in the dog arena as well.

TROY McMaster said the dog community shows up in droves at the fairgrounds every year. Two weeks ago, Echo Hills hosted its 20th annual American Kennel Club sanctioned All-Breed Dog Show, with more than 1,000 dogs and their proud owners taking part in the competition.

“This building will come in handy when we host events like our AKC show,” McMaster said.

“And we have training classes every Tuesday night that are open to anyone because we enjoy doing what we love to do.”

Electrical work and concrete work still need to be completed in the build-

ing, but McMaster said he is happy with the contribution to the fairgrounds.

McMaster also noted that the members of the Echo Hills Kennel Club donate time and labor to the fairgrounds by helping with landscape projects and planting trees each year.

The new building is set to have an official grand opening prior to the Miami County Fair’s opening Aug. 9-15. The public is invited to attend the new barn’s dedication once a time and date is set, McMaster said.

The camp provides the opportunity for underprivi6 74825 22406 6 leged kids to enjoy an

TROY overnight camp experience.

The students were chosen from The Future Begins Today (TFBT) organization, a nonprofit dedicated to helping all students succeed. Participating in the June 10-19 camp were Zach Reichelderfer, Nathan Hamilton, Trystan VanHoose, Taisa Newton, Grace Walling and

Bree’anna Jackson.

Nicole Burton said her son Zach, 13, was “exhilarated” at the chance to give archery, zip-lining and mountain biking a try while in the company of new friends.

“The friends he made were from out of state, a very diverse representation. Some of them have already requested his friendship on his Facebook page, so that was exciting,” Burton said. “He really

made some good relationships and bonded with his counselors and got some really nice words of encouragement in the scrapbooks that he made. And as a mother, that was really the most fulfilling thing, seeing the words and sentiments that he had left upon them.”

In a presentation to the committee, Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington confirmed that the school board approved use of the property for camping and Troy Memorial Stadium for performances. The sale and consumption of alcohol also was OK’d.

Titterington acknowledged that preserving the stadium field is a priority.

“I know that is a very special commodity to some,” he said.

A “tried, true and tested” matting will be applied over the natural turf. The scoreboard will not be taken down, he added.

Also discussed were details about the timing of events.

Campers can begin arriving at noon Thursday, Aug. 29, Titterington said, with only primitive camping permissible. Locations include Community Park, the Miami Conservancy District, North Market Street ball fields, Ferguson Field and Troy City Schools practice fields. Those camping must leave by 5 p.m.

Sunday.

Titterington reminded residents that the Stopover “is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime” event for the city of Troy that will bring in an estimated $13 million statewide.

Chicago prepares for concealed carry

CHICAGO (AP) This city, where violent street gangs shoot it out dozens of times a week despite some of the nation’s toughest restrictions on guns, now faces a new challenge: Wellmeaning citizens with the legal right to hit the streets with loaded firearms, whenever they want.

As Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn mulls whether to sign off on eliminating the country’s last concealed carry ban, the question in Chicago is whether it will matter in the crime-weary city. Will a place that long had one of the tightest bans on handguns be more at risk? Or will it be safer with a law that can only add to the number of guns already on the street?

Neighborhood leaders, anti-crime activists and police officials worry about additional mayhem in Chicago. But other residents, including some who live in Chicago’s more violent areas, believe more guns will allow them to defend themselves better.

“We just had a weekend where something like 48 people were shot, seven died,” said Otis McDonald, 79, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court tossing out Chicago’s strict gun ban three years ago.

“Now law abiding citizens like myself … can carry them when they want to and not carry them when they don’t want to, and the people out there who will do us harm won’t know when we got them and when we don’t.”

At City Hall, where Chicago’s anti-gun campaign has centered for

■ CONTINUED FROM 1 University of The Michigan polls roughly 500 people throughout the month and issues two readings.

The slight improvement from the preliminary survey suggests consumers were unfazed by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s June 19 comments about the Fed’s bond purchases. Bernanke said the Fed could start to slow its bond buying by the end of the year and end it next year, if the economy continues to strengthen. The bond purchases have kept longterm interest rates low.

Stocks fell sharply in the days after Bernanke’s comments and interest rates jumped. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage surged this week to a two-year high of 4.46 percent. That’s up from 3.93 percent last week and a full point higher than a month ago.

future growth rose to an eight-month high.

Employers have been adding jobs at stable pace, while the unemployment rate has slowly fallen to a still-high 7.6 percent.

Higher home sales and prices have driven a steady housing recovery. And on Tuesday the Conference Board said the improved job market helped lift its survey of consumer confidence to the highest level in 5 years, a point echoed by Friday’s Michigan consumer sentiment survey.

“Consumers now believe the recovery has achieved an upward momentum that will not be easily reversed,” Richard Curtin, director of the Michigan survey, said.

More Americans said they planned to buy a home, despite rising mortgage rates, according to the Michigan survey. The number of consumers who said it was a bad time to buy a home fell to the fewest in 10 years.

The survey also found that rising mortgage rates and home prices may be spurring more Americans to buy homes, rather than discouraging them. The proportion of Americans who said it is a good time to buy because rates and prices will be higher in the future reached post-recession highs this month.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) Two neighbors and a police officer gave accounts Friday in George Zimmerman’s murder trial that seemed to bolster the neighborhood watch volunteer’s contention that he was on his back and being straddled by Trayvon Martin during their confrontation.

Neighbor Jonathan Good said it appeared the unarmed teen was straddling Zimmerman, while another neighbor, Jonathan Manalo, said Zimmerman seemed credible when he said immediately after the fight that he had shot Martin in self-defense.

Officer Tim Smith testified that Zimmerman’s backside was covered in grass and wetter than his front side.

All three were called as witnesses for prosecutors who are trying to convict him of second-degree murder.

Good, who had perhaps the best view of any witness, said he did not see anyone’s head being slammed into the concrete sidewalk, as Zimmerman claims Martin did to him. Good initially testified that it appeared “there were strikes being thrown, punches being thrown,” but

during detailed questioning he said he saw only “downward” arm movements being made.

Zimmerman has claimed that he fatally shot 17-yearold Martin last year in selfdefense as the Miami-area teen was banging his head into the concrete sidewalk behind the townhomes in a gated community.

Under prosecution questioning, Good said he never saw anyone being attacked that way during the fight between Zimmerman and Martin.

“I couldn’t see that,” Good said moments later while being cross-examined.

Good said he heard a noise behind his townhome in February 2012, and he saw what looked like a tussle when he stepped out onto his patio to see what was happening.

He said he yelled: “What’s going on? Stop it.”

Good testified he saw a person in black clothing on top of another person with “white or red” clothing. He said he couldn’t see faces but it looked like the person on the bottom had lighter skin.

Martin was black and was wearing a dark hoodie.

Zimmerman identifies as

Hispanic and was wearing a red jacket. Good was back inside calling 911 when he heard a gunshot.

“It looked like there were strikes being thrown, punches being thrown,” Good said.

Later, under cross-examination, he said that it looked like the person on top was straddling the person on bottom in a mixed-martial arts move known as “ground and pound.” When defense attorney Mark O’Mara asked him if the person on top was Martin, Good said, “Correct, that’s what it looked like.”

Good also said the person on the bottom yelled for help.

Zimmerman, 29, could get life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.

Zimmerman followed Martin in his truck and called a police dispatch number before he and the teen got into a fight.

Zimmerman has denied the confrontation had anything to do with race, as Martin’s family and their supporters have claimed.

Manalo, whose wife had testified earlier in the week, was the first neighbor to step outside and see what happened with his flashlight after he heard a gunshot.

even belong to the pool here in Troy, that’s a big deal.”

Students from TFBT also participated in a shorter camp sponsored by Tim Hortons earlier in the year.

“In the spring we were able to send almost 60 sixth- through eighthgraders during spring break for a two-night, three-day stay,” Cotner said. “The staff there told

one of the chaperones how much they really like the kids who come from Troy, that they’re well-behaved and enjoy doing things, and would we be interested in sending more kids if they were open at the last minute.”

Alison Davies, owner of the Troy Tim Hortons location, said typically each store designates only two students to go, but Troy had the opportunity to

send seven more to fill openings.

“A lot of times the guidance counselors and principals help to decide. It’s a difficult choice, because there are so many kids who want to go,” Davies said, adding, “I get letters from each of the students who go and all of them say they have a wonderful time and it’s a life-changing opportunity.”

16,000 underprivileged students nationwide.

Cheryl Cotner, director of TFBT, said she was grateful for the opportunity to partner with the local Tim Hortons to send deserving kids to camp.

“They’re on a beautiful, beautiful lake in Kentucky, and they have pontoon boats and tubing with the boats,” Cotner said. “For kids who don’t

McCarthy calls a requirement that people go through only 16 hours of training before they are issued a concealed carry permit “woefully inadequate” because about the only thing people can learn in that time is how to “point and fire a weapon” and not when they can legally do so.

“Our officers receive six months of training in the police academy and then three months on the streets and at the end of the day we make mistakes frequently,” he said.

Another concern by Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is the provision in the bill that calls for law enforcement and prosecutors to object to a governor-appointed panel if they suspect applicants are dangerous. In Cook County, where there are 358,000 registered gun owners, Dart said he’s worried gang members and others who shouldn’t have guns will slip through the cracks and be granted permits.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, has been quiet on his intentions with the legislation, his office saying he’s “reviewing the bill carefully.” But what he decides may be moot, given that the Legislature passed it by wide enough margins to override any veto.

Once the law is in place, Dart said he expects a flood of applications for permits, something that happened in November 2011 in Wisconsin, where within hours of becoming the 49th state to have a concealed carry law, tens of thousands of people downloaded applications. By the end of 2012, the state had issued nearly 110,000 permits.

years, the reaction to concealed carry legislation has been relatively quiet. The reasons seem to boil down to this: The city can do little about stopping the law because a federal appeals court ordered Illinois to end

O’Connor.

The bill sitting on Quinn’s desk is a hardfought compromise between conservative downstate lawmakers who opposed most gun restrictions and anti-gun lawmakers from Chicago and other urban areas. The legislation requires state police to issue a concealed-carry permit to any gun owner with a state-issued Firearm Owners Identification card, and who passes a background check, pays a $150 fee and undergoes 16 hours of training.

It’s not as stringent as concealed carry laws in California, New York and a handful of others states, which give law enforcement authorities more power to deny permits. But it’s more restrictive than earlier proposals by gun rights advocates, including one that would have superseded all local gun restrictions. For example, it won’t wipe out Chicago and Cook County’s ban on assault weapons.

Most significantly for gun control advocates, the legislation does prohibit guns in places like schools, buses, trains, bars and government buildings.

“If you think about all the prohibited places there are … I don’t think you will see an overwhelming number of people actually (carrying weapons) because it becomes such a headache,” said state Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago lawmaker and lead negotiator on the bill who represents President Barack Obama’s former state senate district.

Patrol releases report on wrong-way crashes COLUMBUS (AP) — A State Highway Patrol analysis of wrong-way crashes in Ohio since 2011 concludes that such wrecks occur less frequently than other types of accidents but tend to be much more severe and almost always involve multiple vehicles.

The report released Friday is aimed at better informing travelers, law enforcement, policymakers and others about circumstances of wrong-way crashes and the dangers such drivers pose on interstate highways and other high-speed roads.

The patrol analyzed 60 crashes that occurred between January 2011 and April 2013 on divided roadways and found that those led to 31 fatalities and 85 injuries. All but a handful involved at least one vehicle other than the wrong-way traveler.

“Although they do not occur especially often, wrong-way crashes, particularly those on interstate routes and other highspeed, divided roadways, are typically severe and

result in the death or injury of innocent victims,” the report said.

More than 80 percent of the crashes happened at night, and more than half the wrong-way drivers were suspected of drug or alcohol impairment.

Increased enforcement and awareness, stronger penalties and new legislation all might help address the problem, the patrol said.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is scouting locations in Columbus and Dayton for a pilot program to use traffic camera equipment that might be capable of identifying wrong-way vehicles and alerting the state’s traffic management center, which could then ask law enforcement agencies to intervene, department spokeswoman Melissa Ayers said. The plan is to retrofit 24 cameras with the technology, at a cost of about $80,000, to see how it works with the state’s system, she said.

“We’re always looking for new ways to try to keep people from driving the

wrong way,” Ayers said, adding that the department also regularly reviews road signage to determine if new signs or changes in the placement of existing signs might help.

The department put up new signs last year in a five-county area around Toledo in an effort to prevent drivers from going the wrong way following a series of accidents. One, a March 2012 collision on Interstate 75, killed a wrong-way driver and three of the five Bowling Green State University sorority members in the vehicle she struck. The two surviving students were severely injured.

A head-on collision along Interstate 75 near Franklin southwestern Ohio killed four people, including a 7-year-old boy, and injured two more children in late December.

Days later, a wrong-way wreck on I-75 in northwest Ohio killed a Toledo man and injured a Michigan man.

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 The Post and Courier, Charleston, S.C. on cutting nuclear weapons with care: During his visit to Germany last week President Barack Obama promised to seek negotiations with Russia for a new round of strategic nuclear weapons cuts and suggested that the time had come to talk with Moscow about tactical nuclear weapons in Europe as well. There is something to be said for both ideas, especially with respect to reductions in Europe, a continent no longer divided by mobilized armies.

But no national security issue is fraught with more potential danger than nuclear policy. In a world in which there are already seven acknowledged nuclear powers and at least two nations, Iran and North Korea, aspiring to join the “club,” it would be a mistake to think of nuclear arms control only in the context of U.S.-Russian relations.

The case for a new round of bilateral strategic arms reductions is sound. Twenty-two years after the end of the Cold War both Russia and the United States still have very large arsenals of nuclear weapons, arguably more than they would need even if both sides made substantial cuts.

Even with the NEW START treaty of 2010, Russia and the United States by 2018 will each have more than 1,800 strategic warheads available to ready forces, and large numbers more in reserve. Strategic warheads are those carried by weapons —missiles and aircraft — capable of striking at intercontinental distances.

Within these totals, NEW START limits each side to 1,550 operational warheads on land- and sea-based strategic missiles. Obama, with an eye on his stated goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons, has suggested these could be safely reduced to 1,000 on each side.

In bilateral terms, U.S. balanced against Russia, a case can be made that 1,000 operational missile warheads, supplemented by several hundred airborne weapons on each side, are more than adequate for mutual deterrence.

The end of the Cold War with its opposing armies in Central Europe has removed the main reason for the creation and deployment of these missiles and airborne weapons. Now would be a good time to find ways to safely eliminate them.

Boston Herald on President Barack Obama getting dissed: The soap opera that is now the Edward Snowden case is important not for the secrets the National Security Agency contractor leaked but for what his multinational odyssey says about the hapless Obama administration — and what it has done to America’s place in the world.

Oh, somehow the United States will survive Snowden’s spilling of secrets, even if, as White House spokesman Jay Carney said, “It gives our terrorist enemies a playbook” on how our intelligence agencies do business.

What cannot be overlooked — or overcome — is how China and Russia have seized the opportunity to make a laughing stock of President Barack Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, and to show their utter disdain for this administration.

Hong Kong allowed Snowden to leave on a flight to Moscow despite repeated requests by the Justice Department for his provisional arrest pending an extradition proceeding. Hong Kong officials insist Justice offered too little, too late by way of evidence on which to hold Snowden.

Carney countered yesterday that Hong Kong’s actions were “deliberate.”

Either way — either Holder screwed up or was ignored — it’s an embarrassment and yet another reason to jettison the attorney general.

Enter Russia’s Vladimir Putin — who just a week ago basically told Obama to pound sand over Syria. Now he takes the opportunity to further humiliate the American president by hosting Snowden — at Moscow’s airport and indicating Russia would be open to offering him asylum as well.

Carney expressed the administration’s official “disappointment,” adding the U.S. expected the Russians “to look at the options available to them to expel Mr. Snowden back to the United States to face justice for the crimes with which he is charged.”

That ought to have Putin quaking in his boots.

As for Snowden, how unfortunate that he missed yesterday’s morning flight from Moscow to Cuba. It would have been a sweet irony to imagine this advocate for Internet freedom trapped for however long in a place where Internet communications barely exist and Internet freedom exists not at all. It would have been a special kind of hell — and one welldeserved.

DOONESBURY

How two changes everything you once knew Six months ago yesterday, I gave birth to my 10-pound, beaming baby boy.

The first three months were barely manageable.

The next three months wouldn’t slow down, despite how many times I pleaded for them to.

That’s the thing about parenthood. We spend half the time complaining about all these moments, the sleepless nights, the rocking to sleep hours on end, but then we spend the other half begging for them to move more slowly, begging for one more night to stare at our babies while they’re still babies.

The other thing that happens when you have kids is that you like to talk about them, a lot.

That’s why a lot of my columns have been tackling things like toilet training and our 3-year-old daughter’s potty mouth.

I could dedicate this space every week to my thoughts on gay marriage, Paula Deen’s racism or some other pivotal move our country has made, and if I feel passionately about something, I certainly will.

But right now, what I feel passionate about is the family I’ve created; the family you’ve created in Troy; the families populating

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist the rest of the world.

We all have our own parenting styles, our own views on what we think is right, wrong and best for our families. Some of us think children should be an only child, think about how much attention and energy you’d have if you could dedicate it all to one child. Some of us think the best we can do for our children is to give them siblings, permanent fixtures in their lives and hopefully people to lean on in the years you will no longer be there.

The funny thing about families is that while we all have our own idea in our head about what they will be like, what we want for them, we allow ourselves to be invaded by others’ opinions on what is right for our families.

— Tom Shoup Tipp City

When people found out I was pregnant with a boy the second time around, nearly all of them assumed the same thing.

One boy and one girl, we must be so happy, so relieved. We had one of each, surely we were done!

It made me angry.

Truth be told, I ached for another girl.

I wanted nothing more than sugar and spice and everything nice.

While I feel absolutely blessed to have the bright, darling little boy in our lives, it doesn’t all the sudden make my family feel complete because we now have an equal set of genders under the same roof.

So naturally when I told the same individuals who deemed our family was “perfect” because we had one of each that I actually wanted two girls and a boy, they shook their heads at me.

Why on Earth would you want to be outnumbered? Two is the perfect number.

One of each gender is the perfect mix. I shouldn’t want anything more, I had it “all.”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting one girl and one boy — if that’s what you

decide you want. The problem with telling people that’s what they should want, however, is that it’s an insult to families of three girls or four boys.

My niece on my husband’s side has four little boys, everyone assumes that last boy was their attempt at a girl. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Their fourth boy was an attempt to grow their family and create more love.

Whether it was a boy, girl or a power ranger that she birthed, it was going to be welcomed with open arms.

There is nothing wrong with wanting four boys. There is nothing wrong with wanting five girls and two boys. Want the kind of family you want, can have and can support (and not just monetarily, but emotionally, lovingly).

Even six months later everyone keeps asking us if we’re happy to “be done” having kids.

And the only response I can give them is that I’m still not sure that’s the case.

Of course, I still have to get my husband on board with that — and my sanity for that matter.

LOCAL & STATE

Governor praises Ohio school funding changes Says spending bill will generate jobs COLUMBUS (AP) — Despite being foiled on Medicaid expansion, Gov. John Kasich praised the Legislature on Friday for passing a spending bill he says will generate jobs through tax cuts and tying college funding to graduation rates.

Kasich predicted he and legislators will agree by the end of the year on how to restructure the state’s Medicaid program, which provides coverage for one of every five Ohio residents.

“We believe we still have ample time to get this done,” Kasich said at a press conference on the state budget with Ohio Senate President Keith Faber and Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder, both fellow Republicans.

Kasich had exhorted legislators to take advantage of Medicaid expansion made available to states under President Barack Obama’s federal health care overhaul, which would bring the state federal dollars. The expansion is a key component of the Affordable Care Act, which requires that nearly all Americans have health insurance beginning in 2014 or pay a penalty.

The state Legislature on Thursday okayed a $62 billion, two-year operating budget that cuts personal income taxes, changes the way public schools and universities are funded, and adds abortion restrictions.

Tax changes in the bill will mean an estimated $2.7 billion in overall tax cuts over three years, including through a phased in income-tax cut for individuals and small businesses. The cut is partly paid for by increasing the state sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 5.75 percent.

A Kasich 2014 Democratic opponent, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, called it “indefensible” to shift taxes as the bill does.

“Overall, this budget is just a train wreck for the middle class,” he said during a Friday news conference. “What you’re seeing is income-tax (relief) for the very wealthiest people in the state being paid for by really increasing the tax burden on the middle class and the poor.”

Lawmakers revamped ground rules for funding public colleges and universities to more closely tie graduation rates to the schools’ state aid. Under the plan, which Kasich is expected to sign into law by a Sunday deadline, universities won’t receive a portion of their per-pupil funding until the student has graduated.

Kasich said this will give students’ parents more confidence that their children will finish their degree.

“Stop and think about how many students enter our very expensive four-year schools, spend two years and drop out, have no certificate, no degree, nothing to show other than high bills,” Kasich told reporters at the Governor’s Residence.

Kasich declined to say what items he might line-item veto from the budget bill.

Various groups are urging him to strike a provision that limits the administration’s

OHIO BRIEFS

Kent State joins other in raising tuition KENT (AP) — Kent State University officials are raising tuition by 1.5 percent, joining most other Ohio public colleges that will slightly raise rates for the upcoming school year.

Trustees at the northeast Ohio university approved the hike Thursday with all of the money going back into financial aid.

Kent was one of the last of Ohio’s tax-supported universities to set tuition for the coming school year.

The University of Akron, Youngstown State and Bowling Green increased undergraduate tuition by 2 percent. Ohio University announced a 1.6 percent hike, and Miami University 1.5 percent.

Cleveland State announced a 2-percent increase that will be rebated yearly to students who stay on track to graduation.

Ohio State, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Toledo are freezing tuition for the coming year.

Chief: We might never know why Ohio boy killed CINCINNATI — Ohio authorities are investigating multiple possibilities for why a 12-year-old boy fatally shot his 9year-old half brother and then turned the gun on himself, a coroner said Friday.

The police chief said the answer might not ever be known.

Jackson County Coroner Dr. Gregory Hawker said investigators don’t know whether the shootings in Jackson in southern Ohio were a murder-suicide, a suicide pact or an accidental shooting followed by suicide. Authorities say each boy had a single gunshot wound to the head.

“You want to think it was an accident,” Hawker said, adding that there’s not enough evidence yet to draw any conclusion.

“There was no sign of a struggle,” Hawker told The Associated Press. “The younger boy was just sitting in a children’s chair, sitting there like he was watching TV.” He said only two bullets were fired, and two casings were recovered along

Obama’s ties to Mandela loom over visit JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s struggles in South Africa, a young Barack Obama joined campus protests in the U.S. against the racist rule that kept Mandela locked away in prison for nearly three decades.

Now a historic, barrierbreaking figure himself, President Obama arrived in South Africa Friday to find a country drastically transformed by Mandela’s influence and grappling with the beloved 94-yearold’s mortality.

It was unclear whether Mandela’s deteriorating health would allow Obama to make a hospital visit.

The former South African leader is battling a recurring lung infection and is said to be in critical condition at a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One as he his way to made Johannesburg, Obama said he would gauge the situation after he arrived.

“I don’t need a photoop,” he said. “And the last thing I want to do is to be in any way obtrusive at a time when the family is concerned about Nelson Mandela’s condition.”

Obama’s visit to South Africa is seen as something of a tribute to the man who helped inspire his own political activism. The president will pay homage

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrive at Waterkloof Air Base Friday in Centurion, South Africa. The president is in South Africa, embarking on the second leg of his three-country African journey. The visit comes at a poignant time, with former South African president and anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela ailing in a Johannesburg hospital. to Mandela at Robben Island, the prison where he spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. And with South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, facing questions about its effectiveness, Obama will urge the government and the South African people to live up to the democratic example set by their first black president.

“He’s a personal hero, but I don’t think I’m unique in that regard,” Obama said during a news conference Thursday in

Obama and Mandela have met just once, a hastily arranged meeting in a Washington hotel room in 2005 when Obama was a U.S. senator. A photo of the meeting hangs in Obama’s personal office at the White House, showing a smiling

Mandela sitting on a chair, his legs outstretched, as the young senator reaches down to shake his hand. A copy of the photo also hangs in Mandela’s office in Johannesburg.

Since then, the two have spoken occasionally by telephone, including after the 2008 election, when Mandela called Obama to congratulate him on his victory. The U.S. president called Mandela in 2010 after the South African leader’s young granddaughter was killed in a

CHICAGO (AP) — The emotional pain and practical demands facing Nelson Mandela’s family are universal: confronting the final days of an elderly loved one.

There are no rules for how or when the end may arrive.

Some choose to let go with little medical interference; others seek aggressive treatment. Mandela’s status as a respected global figure only complicates the situation, doctors and end-of-life experts say.

Mandela “is not only revered he is loved and profoundly admired by people all over the world and the sense of letting go must be difficult for everyone involved,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University.

In much of Africa, people are considered fortunate to live past age 60. For those who reach old age, death is still seen as sad, but friends and family typically celebrate with big parties to honor a life welllived. Taking extraordinary measures to keep that person alive would be considered dishonorable, said Dr. Sola Olopade, the Nigerian-born clinical director for the University of Chicago’s Center for Global Health.

If such measures are being used for Mandela, many could consider it “quite painful,” Olopade said, “because those are not the last memories you want to have for someone with such an exemplary life.”

doctors said U.S. Mandela’s lung infection is most likely pneumonia, a very common cause of illness and death in the elderly.

The infection is usually caused by bacteria and causes lungs to fill with fluid or pus, making breathing difficult and often causing fever and weakness.

Treatment includes antibiotics and extra oxygen, often from a mechanical ventilator.

In the United States, an elderly person critically ill with pneumonia would typically be hospitalized in an intensive care unit and put on a mechanical ventilator, or breathing machine, said Dr. J.P. Kress. He is director of the University of Chicago’s medical intensive care unit’s section on lung and critical care.

Ventilators often require a breathing tube down the throat, and patients need to be sedated because of the discomfort.

These patients typically are hooked up to feeding tubes, intravenous fluids and all kinds of monitoring machines to check heart rate, blood pressure and other functions. For long stays, lying prone in a hospital bed, they have to be periodically moved into different positions to prevent bed sores; their arms and legs have to be exercised to fight muscle wasting.

Mandela has been hospitalized several times since December for a recurring lung infection, and he has had tuberculosis.

in Los Angeles, Obama joined protests against the school’s investments durSouth Africa’s ing apartheid era. In 1981, Obama focused his first public political speech on the topic.

“It’s happening an ocean away,” Obama said, according to a retelling of the story in his memoir “Dreams From My Father.” ”But it’s a struggle that touches each and every one of us. Whether we know it or not. Whether we want it or not.”

More than 30 years later, as he traveled through the African continent, Obama recalled the influence Mandela had had on him during that period of his life.

“I think at that time I didn’t necessarily imagine that Nelson Mandela might be released,” Obama said Thursday. But the president said he had read Mandela’s writings and speeches and understood him to be a man who believed in “treating people equally and was willing to sacrifice his life for that belief.”

Following his release from prison, Mandela was elected president in 1994 during South Africa’s first all-races elections. He served just one term, focusing in large part on racial reconciliation in the post-apartheid era, and retreated from public life several years ago.

car accident. Obama also wrote the introduction to Mandela’s memoir, “Conversations With Myself.”

Despite the two men’s infrequent contact, people close to Obama say his oneon-one meeting with Mandela left a lasting impression.

“He is one of the few people who the president has respected and admired from afar who, when he met him, exceeded his expectations,” said Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s senior adviser and close friend.

Obama’s own political rise has drawn inevitable comparisons to the South African leader. Both are Nobel Peace Prize winners and the first black men elected to lead their countries.

But their paths to power have been vastly different. While Mandela fought to end an oppressive government from the confines of a prison cell, Obama attended elite schools and rose through the U.S. political system before running for president.

“President Obama would believe that the challenges he has faced pale in comparison to those faced by President Mandela,” Jarrett said.

Mandela had already shaped Obama’s political beliefs well before their first encounter. As a student at Occidental College

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Homelessness sparks ‘housing first’ approach Cities strive to offer permanent residency to the chronically homeless BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — They are addicted, mentally ill or just lost a job. Poor health or a troubled childhood may have hurt them along the way. These people are experiencing homelessness.

That’s the politically correct phraseology for those with no roof over their head, but they come in all forms.

More than a couple dozen people now experiencing this decidedly unpleasant and often dangerous state will essentially change their status overnight with the opening of Crawford Apartments this fall, Bloomington’s, first “housing first” facility. Such complexes, which have sprung up across the country, offer permanent residency to the chronically homeless with very few strings attached. Another 15 “scattered site” vouchers for use at area apartments are already being given out, and one tenant has moved in.

But how many people will be left behind when Crawford Apartments opens, and how those who get in will fare, remains uncertain.

It’s clear in conversations with people now experiencing homelessness, or who have been homeless in the past, that the reasons for their plight are as varied as their numbers. A large question remains: What happens to those who do not fit into the Crawford model? And more importantly, what resources, after permanent housing, will remain to address their concerns?

The people behind the label

reveal the daily reality of being among those with no permanent address.

Walking along the B-Line Trail with a paper bag from Big Red Liquors cradled in his left arm, Eddie Walls was heading nowhere in particular two weeks ago. He sat down on a bench and opened a 40-ounce bottle of Natty Light, pouring each serving into an empty water bottle.

“Man, I need my Klonopin,” Walls told The Herald-Times, scratching at two parallel cuts on the back of his neck, itching for his anti-anxiety medication. Under his Baltimore Orioles cap, Walls’ face is lined with stitches from cheek to chin. He had once touched a bottle of vodka on the ground, a prize he had just delivered to another man’s tent. But the man wanted the bottle for himself and beat Walls with a stick.

Middle-aged and homeless, Walls came to Bloomington after being released from jail in Martinsville. He came to apply for food stamps and see about a woman at a local shelter, but Walls set up a tent in the woods. He didn’t like sleeping at Backstreet Missions. The snoring racked his nerves.

He had heard Bloomington was generous to its homeless citizens, but the city hasn’t lived up to Walls’ expectations. He still lives in a tent, hungry enough to eat at the Community Kitchen, selfloathing enough to bum a cigarette off a stranger on the trail and then resent the fact he has to do it.

Walls is a piece of the “homeless problem,” but he doesn’t want to be a part of anyone’s solution.

And that goes for Crawford Apartments, which will offer homes to people like him.

As good as that might sound, Walls doesn’t want that. There are people like Walls who can’t be coaxed into staying in one place.

He has his own dream of a mansion in the country with deer heads mounted on walls in every room, but he wants no other grace but God’s to get there.

Instead of hoping for a spot at Crawford Apartments, Walls studies train lines that run near the trail, noting the time when a horn blows.

He is the “ATR,” American Train Rider, Walls says with a smile. He’s excited by the idea of hopping a train to Kansas for a roofing job. Or working his way back to Florida, where a doctor has his records and can get him pills.

“I gotta be working, man. I have to have that stability, to be able to go to work every day. I need a place to live, but I’m thinking about going back to Florida, because I don’t like people around here. I just don’t like this place.

“I don’t know why I don’t like it; maybe I didn’t get a chance to like it.

“I don’t want to like it.”

Alana Luttrull was stressed as a child. And because of a nervous system disorder, stress in her life created a twisting pain in her stomach.

At 8, she found a bottle of

codeine on the counter. Everything changed.

“It’s like, ‘Wow, if I can live like this, why would I ever want to live any other way?’” Luttrull said.

“After that, I tried to use anything I could get my grubby little hands on.”

Luttrull now works as a job counselor for recovering addicts at Centerstone, but it took her 20 years of descent before she found her answer at Centerstone’s Recovery Engagement Center. Her childhood home was the site of her spiral down. She says her twin sister used drugs and her father threw a bottle of Jack Daniels her way and said “have at it.” She says her mother didn’t question it.

In elementary school, she had already figured out how to sneak Kahlua without her mother noticing. In middle school, Luttrull would blame missing bottles of wine on her friends. She dropped out of high school her sophomore year.

She was almost “loved to death,” she said of her family’s permissiveness.

“I really think that a kick in the pants can save someone’s life,” Luttrull says now.

While protesters have marched at City Hall, demanding that police “legalize sleep” outside, or that the city create a “low-barrier” shelter where addicts can use drugs or alcohol without endangering their beds, Luttrull questions whether low-barrier sheltering hurts more than it helps. Her parents’ house was her own low-

barrier shelter and she took a long time to escape.

Change came for Luttrull three years ago when she pitched a tent on her grandfather’s property in Brown County. That provided her distance and gave her a sense of urgency.

Sure, homeless people need fewer barriers to service, she said.

If anything, Luttrull thinks those who are homeless have a hard time navigating all the options available to them. But she believes people need high expectations once they find treatment, an intensive approach Crawford Apartments doesn’t require under the “housing first” model.

The Sunday pastor at Backstreet Missions, Ken Stickford believes in the biblical battle between good and evil, a contest for men’s souls that began after Lucifer fell from heaven. For years, Stickford himself descended into addiction, homelessness and law-breaking. Prior to 2006, he had been arrested more than 30 times in a decade, 15 times for public intoxication and multiple times for theft or assault.

But when Stickford landed in a jail cell for the last time, he believes Jesus claimed him. A court ordered Stickford to rehab at a mission rather than spend the next 15 years in jail.

He returned to Backstreet Missions a saved man, but, as he looks at the handful of empty beds at the shelter the barrier there is a commitment to God he is left to ask why there aren’t more men on the streets of Bloomington who want the mercy he was able to find.

You could try covering your hair to see if it makes a difference

Today: 6 p.m.: Mountain Heart Bluegrass 7 p.m.: Bookends 9 p.m.: Spotlight

Dear Annie: I'm puzzled about something. I'm a straight female senior citizen with totally white hair. Although I think I am still quite attractive, I do look like a senior citizen. I would like to know whether there is any truth to a rumor I recently heard that today's lesbians are attracted to older women with white hair.

In the past two years, I have been approached by women flirting with me, most of them much younger. I'm stared at and followed, and rather bold things have been said to me.

I am uncomfortable and fear for my safety and wish it would stop.

I'm tempted to dye my hair or wear hats if what's drawing this unwanted attention is the white hair.

If you or your readers have any insight, please let me know. — Puzzled in Gary, Ind. Dear Puzzled: We have no idea whether other women are attracted to you because of your hair, your age, your appearance or your demeanor. If our readers have any "inside" knowledge, we'll let you know. Until then, try covering your hair to see if it makes any difference. You should not feel threatened because people are flirting, male or female. But if someone seems especially aggressive, don't be afraid to call the police.

Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old disabled male who lives alone. My next-door neighbors moved in a year ago and act as if the area is their own private island. Every morning there are children screaming and hollering, dogs barking and adults yelling in their backyard. In the evening, they are joined by several friends and family members who drink and talk so loudly they may as well be shouting. This goes on every night until midnight and sometimes as late as 2 a.m.

My major headache comes on the weekends. Each evening, they have music playing outside along with a backyard full of people.

They give me those "don't you dare say anything" looks as I walk into my tiny house. I'm fearful for my safety. I have called the police repeatedly, and they always promise to send a car out, but the noise never stops until the wee hours of the morning.

How can they be allowed to disturb all the houses in the immediate vicinity? — Rude Neighbors Dear Neighbors: Could you speak kindly to your neighbors and ask if they would keep the sound down after 10 p.m.? Does your city have a noise ordinance?

Are there other neighbors who are equally disturbed by this racket?

Would they speak to the neighbors with you or call the police every time this happens, forcing the authorities to issue citations and fines? Look into white noise additions such as fans that might help muffle some of the noise. Also, please check your local area resources to see whether there is a neighborhood organization that helps resolve disputes.

Dear Annie: I had to laugh when I read the letter from "N.Y.," whose 17-year-old son is terrible to travel with. I can't think of anything more embarrassing for a 17year-old boy than being seen swimming or shopping with his family. And if I sent a flight attendant to check on my son, he would be mortified.

We include our children in vacation planning, which makes it more rewarding. We also try to find a friend of our son's to come along. If the adults want to see museums, we try to find nearby activities for the kids.

Our best vacations with kids have been a houseboat with a ski boat included and a condo in the mountains where the boys could snowboard. Ten days at a relative's house would be unbearable for most teens. And I would never leave a 17-year-old home unsupervised for 10 days. Perhaps one of his friends would take him, despite "the way he dresses."

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Does regular laundry detergent kill germs?

Dear Heloise: After a bout of sickness at our home, I cleaned the house well, but when it was time to start the laundry, a question came to mind: Does regular washing-machine detergent kill germs? — Q.K., via email Your question got Heloise Central wondering about this. You might be surprised when you read the information!

If you are not using hot water (140-150 degrees F) or chlorine bleach, or a pine-oil disinfectant, you probably are NOT killing the bacteria. When you use hot water plus chlorine or color-safe bleach and the dryer, this will kill most germs. If your wash load includes colors or items that chlorine

Hints from Heloise Columnist bleach can’t be used on, use colorsafe bleach or pine-oil disinfectant. And believe it or not, homemakers who hung their clothes out to dry in the sunshine were actually killing bacteria. That’s right, sun rays kill germs!

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible for many of us to hang clothing outside. So, to keep your washing

machine as clean as possible, clean it once in a while, and always after someone has been sick in your home. Use chlorine bleach and water only (no clothing). Current washing models may have a cleaning cycle on them. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Diane Heller of Van Wert, Ohio, sent a photo of her part-Siamese cat, Tuffy, lying down on the couch. Diane says: “We found this photo the other day and noticed the “bunny” in the rear part of his body. He came from a litter of eight. When he was first born, he slept in my husband’s shoe — he was that little.”

To see Tuffy and his “bunny,” visit

www. Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise CELLPHONE CONTACT Dear Heloise: When creating a cellphone contact, I put the association first, then name, date and other details as necessary. When a service call is made, I tape the person’s business card to the appliance.

— Joe Carnell, Enid, Okla.

EXERCISE BALL Dear Heloise: To keep my exercise ball (very large, inflatable) from rolling around when not in use, I bought a smooth wood wreath large enough to use as a base, and set the ball onto it.

— Holly Griffith, Sugar Land, Texas

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, June 29, the 180th day of 2013.

There are 185 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On June 29, 1613, London’s original Globe Theatre, where many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed, was destroyed by a fire sparked by a cannon shot during a performance of “Henry VIII.” (No fatalities were reported.)

On this date: In 1767, Britain approved

the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. (Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties except for tea.)

In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (The ruling prompted states to effectively impose a

moratorium on executions until their capital punishment laws could be revised.)

In 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Morrison v. Olson, upheld the independent counsel law in a 7-1 decision (the sole dissenter was Justice Antonin Scalia).

Ten years ago: Thirteen people were killed, dozens injured, when a third-floor apartment building porch crowded with guests collapsed onto porches below during a party in Chicago.

Phoenix, Las Vegas bake in scorching heat PHOENIX (AP) — A blazing heat wave expected to send the mercury soaring to nearly 120 degrees in Phoenix and Las Vegas settled over the West on Friday, threatening to ground airliners and raising fears that people and pets will get burned on the scalding pavement.

The heat was so punishing that rangers took up positions at trailheads at Lake Mead in Nevada to persuade people not to hike. Zookeepers in Phoenix hosed down the elephants and fed tigers frozen fish snacks. And tourists at California’s Death Valley took photos of the harsh landscape and a thermometer that read 121.

The mercury there was expected to reach nearly 130 on Friday just short of the 134degree reading from a century ago that stands as the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

“You have to take a picture of something like this. Otherwise no one will believe you,” said Laura McAlpine, visiting Death Valley from Scotland.

The heat is not expected to break until Monday or Tuesday.

The scorching weather presented problems for airlines because high temperatures can make it more difficult for planes to take off. Hot air reduces lift and also hurts engine performance. Planes taking off in the heat may need longer runways or may have to shed weight by carrying less fuel.

Smaller jets and propeller planes are more likely to be affected than big airliners, offi-

Parker & Sons Air Conditioning warranty supervisor Michael Hawks cools off after inspecting an a/c unit, Friday in Phoenix. Excessive heat warnings will continue for much of the Desert Southwest as building high pressure triggers major warming in eastern California, Nevada, and Arizona.

Dangerously hot temperatures are expected across the Arizona deserts throughout the week with a high of 118 Friday. cials said.

The National Weather Service said Phoenix could reach 118 on Friday, while Las Vegas could see the same temperature over the weekend in what would be a record for Sin City. The record in Phoenix is 122.

Temperatures are also expected to soar across Utah and into

Wyoming and Idaho, with tripledigit heat forecast for the Boise area. Cities in Washington state that are better known for cool, rainy weather should break the 90s next week.

“This is the hottest time of the year, but the temperatures that we’ll be looking at for Friday through Sunday, they’ll be

toward the top,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Mark O’Malley. “It’s going to be baking hot across much of the entire West.”

The heat is the result of a high-pressure system brought on by a shift in the jet stream, the high-altitude air current that dictates weather patterns. The

jet stream has been more erratic in the past few years.

Health officials warned people to be extremely careful when venturing outdoors. The risks include not only dehydration and heat stroke but burns from the concrete and asphalt.

“You will see people who go out walking with their dog at noon or in the middle of the day and don’t bring enough water and it gets tragic pretty quickly,” said Bretta Nelson, spokeswoman for the Arizona Humane Society. “You just don’t want to find out the hard way.”

Cooling stations were set up to shelter the homeless as well as elderly people who can’t afford to run their air conditioners. In Phoenix, Joe Arpaio, the famously hard-nosed sheriff who runs a tent jail, planned to distribute ice cream and cold towels to inmates this weekend.

Officials said personnel were added to the Border Patrol search-and-rescue unit because of the danger to people trying to slip across the Mexican border.

At least seven people have been found dead in the last week in Arizona after falling victim to the brutal desert heat.

In June 1990, when Phoenix hit 122 degrees, airlines were forced to cease flights for several hours because of a lack of data from the manufacturers on how the aircraft would operate in such extreme heat.

US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher said the airline now knows that its Boeings can fly at up to 126 degrees, and its Airbus fleet can operate at up to 127.

Hikers rescued trying to reach ‘Into the Wild’ bus ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Three hikers, one slowed by an ankle injury, signaled a passing military helicopter with a mirror for rescue from the Alaska wilderness when they tried to reach a bus made famous by the book and movie “Into the Wild,” a U.S. Army Alaska official said Friday.

It’s the second rescue this summer of people making a pilgrimage to the abandoned Fairbanks city bus situated north of Denali National Park and Preserve.

The rescue, which was first reported by the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner, happened Tuesday after the three hikers became stranded by the raging Teklanika River.

A CH-47F Chinook helicopter from Fort Wainwright was on a training mission west of Healy when the hikers spotted it, U.S. Army Alaska spokesman John Pennell said.

“As they were coming along, I guess, the Stampede Trail, the hikers signaled

for them with mirrors and other stuff,” Pennell said.

The helicopter, piloted by Chief Warrant Officer Rafael Calderia, landed and checked the hikers.

“One of the females had a twisted ankle, but I guess what was really keeping them in place was the water level of the Teklanika River,” Pennell said.

The hikers told the members of the U.S. Army Alaska Aviation Task Force that they had crossed the river on Monday, but water levels had risen within a

day to impassable conditions. They also had run out of food on Sunday.

The military crew assessed the situation, and the helicopter returned to Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks to refuel and to receive permission from the state’s Rescue Coronation Center to take the hikers out.

The clearance was given to pick up the hikers.

“They loaded them onto the Chinook and flew them out to where their car was parked on Stampede Road

and told them, ‘Go report it,’” he said.

Pennell said recently a military crew rescued people from a plane crash after they were contacted by radio, but using mirrors is a different story.

“I would imagine it’s fairly out of the ordinary,” he said.

The hikers reported the incident as instructed to Alaska State Troopers, who encouraged them to take Nichole Pickering, 25, of Florida, to a nearby clinic to check her leg injury.

In May, three German hikers trying to reach the bus on the Stampede Trail, near Healy, located about 10 miles north of the entrance to Denali National Park and Preserve on the Parks Highway, also had to be rescued.

They told troopers the river they crossed getting to the bus had become impassable for the return due to high, swift-running water. The hikers had proper gear but only enough food for three days, troopers said.

China’s entrepreneurs brace for credit crunch BEIJING (AP) — Like a boxer slimming down for a fight, Li Zhongjian is shrinking his 20year-old business manufacturing cigarette lighters to brace for a credit crunch he sees looming over China’s entrepreneurs.

Li’s workforce in the southeastern city of Wenzhou has shrunk by half to 300 this year and he isn’t replacing employees who leave. He said he used to borrow money but is preparing to do without credit that might no longer be available as regulators try to force Chinese banks to cool a lending boom they worry could race out of control.

“The authorities’ shifting policies are not offering stable surroundings for businesspeople to be confident to work,” said Li. “I won’t try to get loans for my business any more. I’ll wait and see how the market and policies are doing. I won’t invest, either.”

A cash shortage that hit China’s credit markets this month was the first shock wave from what analysts say could be Beijing’s most drastic clampdown on credit in two decades. The central bank has called for tighter lending standards, which should reduce risk but is likely to reduce financing for a private sector that generates China’s new jobs and wealth.

China will benefit in the long run from a safer financial system, but the short-term cost could be a painful squeeze on entrepreneurs.

Some say a recovery that already was faltering could weaken further.

“It’s going to be a bloodbath,” Anne Stevenson-Yang, said research director of J Capital Research in Beijing.

“Rates are shooting up in the private market and regular commercial loans are being pulled back very quickly,” she said. “All industrial businesses here run on credit, so as soon as you close that

A cash shortage that hit China’s credit markets this month was the first shock wave from what analysts say could be Beijing’s most drastic clampdown on credit in two decades. China will benefit in the long run from a safer financial system, but the short-term cost will be a painful squeeze on entrepreneurs. from 7.9 percent the previous quarter. May retail sales fell short of forecasts and export growth slowed. An HSBC Corp. survey of manufacturers showed June activity fell to a nine-month low and was contracting.

Tighter credit controls could cause growth to dip below 7 percent in coming quarters, according to Nomura economist Zhiwei Zhang. That would be China’s weakest performance since the early 1990s.

Harder times for Chinese entrepreneurs could have global repercussions. China’s slowdown already is depressing demand for iron ore, copper and other commodities, crimping the flood of money that drove a boom for Australia, Brazil and other suppliers. Demand for industrial compo-

down, they just stop producing and selling stuff.”

The government has yet to say how extensive the controls will be or what it might do to ensure lending for producers who Chinese leaders have said they want to support.

Some branches of two of China’s biggest lenders Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have temporarily suspended lending to businesses and individuals, the business magazine Caixin reported, citing sources at the banks.

The credit clampdown hits amid uncertainty about whether China’s lackluster recovery from its deepest downturn since the 2008 global crisis is stalling.

Economic growth decelerated to 7.7 percent in the first quarter

nents from Southeast Asia and factory equipment from the United States and Europe could be hurt if credit-starved manufacturers put off purchases.

The crackdown is part of a broader effort by communist leaders to shift China to slower, more sustainable growth based on domestic consumption after a decade of explosive expansion driven by exports, investment and cheap credit.

“The episode is arguably the strongest sign yet that the leadership is willing to suffer short-term economic pain if necessary to achieve more sustainable growth,” said Capital Economics analyst Mark Williams in a report.

A key goal appears to be to force banks to reduce their role in

channeling money into unregulated, profitable and risky underground lending that is a pillar of support for entrepreneurs who cannot get formal loans from state banks. Money for informal lending came at first from individuals who wanted a better return on their savings but much of it now comes from state banks.

They hid the lending from regulators, who worry they have taken on undisclosed risks in the event of defaults.

Even before the credit squeeze, underground borrowers paid interest of up to 70 percent a year, more than 10 times the benchmark rate for formal loans.

Estimates of outstanding loans run as high as 4 trillion yuan ($650 billion), or as much as 7 percent of China’s total credit.

Li, the entrepreneur in Wenzhou, said he borrowed from both state banks and informal lenders to expand his business.

He said he paid 6 to 14 percent in annual interest for bank loans and up to 70 percent for underground loans.

Communist leaders allowed informal lending to grow over the past decade to support entrepreneurs. But regulators began to worry after the 2008 global crisis when they found banks were putting their own money into informal lending, taking on unreported higher risks.

Money flowed to entrepreneurs to pay for equipment and raw materials but it also flooded into speculation in stocks and real estate. Regulators ordered banks to tighten lending standards but worried credit still was growing too fast.

The squeeze on China’s credit markets hit after banks that quickly expanded lending this year tried to replenish their resources by borrowing from institutions that had more cash.

Top pick Bennett introduced by Cavs INDEPENDENCE (AP) — Anthony Bennett only got serious about playing basketball six or seven years ago.

He really wasn’t that interested, and then things changed.

“I just started growing,” Bennett said. “And everyone said, ‘You should probably play basketball.’ So I said, ‘All right.

I’ll give it a shot.’ Look where it got me now.”

Bennett was officially introduced Friday by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who shocked the NBA draft by selecting the UNLV power forward with the No. 1 overall pick on Thursday night.

Although he wasn’t regarded by many draft experts as the best player available, Bennett

was always at the top of Cleveland’s board. They scouted the 6-foot-7, 240-pounder all season, fell in love with his game and decided to take him ahead of several better known players including Kentucky center Nerlens Noel, Kansas guard Ben McLemore and Georgetown forward Otto Porter Jr. “As we did our evaluations throughout the entire year, we just kept coming back to his ability and his talent and how it fit with our guys,” Cavs general AP PHOTO manager Chris Grant said. “A lot Cavaliers first round draft pick Anthony Bennett, left, Cleveland of times, like last year, it’s just shakes hands with general manager Chris Grant after an introclear cut. But for us, through the ductory news conference at the NBA basketball team's training year, we always had him very facility Friday in Independence.

Post 43 starts strong Enter 3rd day in Athens 3-0 Staff Report Troy Post 43 got off to a 3-0 start at the East Tennessee Blast Tournament — posting a 13-3 romp over the Tennessee Bulls on Thursday and winning a pair of games Friday.

Post 43 edged the Nashville A’s 4-3 to begin play Friday, with Jimmy Pelphrey getting the win in 3 1/3 innings pitched.

Pelphrey struck out three, before Hunter Gleadell came in and struck out two of the four batters he faced to get the save.

The Post 43 offense put up two runs in the first, then tied the game with a run in the third and scored the go-ahead run in the fifth.

Cincinnati Reds’ Johnny Cueto (47) grimaces after delivering a pitch to Texas Rangers' Adrian Beltre in the first inning of a baseball game Friday in Arlington, Texas.

Rangers top Reds Ace Johnny Cueto injured in 4-0 loss By the Associated Press Martin Perez pitched six-hit ball into the seventh inning and the AL West-leading Texas Rangers beat the scuffling Cincinnati Reds 4-0 on Friday night.

The Reds have lost three in a row, and six of seven. They also

have more concerns about righthander Johnny Cueto (4-2), their opening day starter already on the disabled list twice this season who left after a batter into the second inning because of rightness in his right lat muscle.

Perez (2-1) struck out three in 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander was coming off a win last

Saturday at St. Louis, where he allowed runs in each of the first two innings before holding the Cardinals scoreless over his last five innings.

Jason Frasor and Robbie Ross finished off the Rangers’ second shutout in a row and seventh this season. Cincinnati was held scoreless for the sixth time.

In the matinee, Post 43 pitcher Ryan Lavy was in control on the hill, going the distance, striking out six and scattering just three hits to lift the team to a 5-0 victory over the Middle Tennessee Bombers. And Lavy got plenty of help from the defense, which finished with no errors in the game.

Leading the charge at the plate in that game was Zach Thompson, who had two hits — including an RBI single and Michael Pearce added a double.

Evan Bowling and Pelphrey finished 2 for 3, while Garrett Mitchell went 2 for 4. With that win, Post 43 ran its record to 249.

In Thursday’s five-inning run-rule over the Bulls, Austin Baumgardner was the winning pitcher. Pelphrey and Nick Antonides both finished 2 for 3 with doubles, Bowling and Trenton Wood each ended the day 2 for 3.

British rolling at Wimbledon 2nd-seeded Murray, Robson advance to Week 2

Keselowski wins Nationwide race Brad Keselowski took his final lead on the 156th lap and went on to a rain-shortened victory Friday night in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway. See Page 15.

LONDON (AP) — When a 19-stroke exchange ended with Andy Murray’s Wimbledon opponent slapping a forehand into the net, thousands of Centre Court spectators rose in unison.

They applauded Murray’s first service break. They screamed for joy. They waved their Union Jacks and Scottish flags. It was only a third-round match, merely 12 minutes and three games old, yet to some that tiny early edge seemed massively meaningful.

So imagine the reaction, louder and livelier, when the second-seeded Murray finished off his 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 victory over 32ndseeded Tommy Robredo of Spain less than AP PHOTO two hours later Friday to advance to Week Andy Murray returns to Tommy Robredo dur- 2. And then, for a moment, try to fathom ing their Men’s singles match Friday at the All what would happen if Murray ever were to England Lawn Tennis Championships in win the final point of The Championships, Wimbledon, London. as the Grand Slam tournament is known

around here, and become the first British man in 77 years to hoist the trophy.

“You need to be professional enough to not let that stuff bother you and just concentrate on each match,” said Murray, who has won 20 of his past 21 contests on grass, including runs to last year’s final at the All England Club and a London Olympics gold medal. “I did a good job of that today. I played well. My best match of the tournament, so far.”

The locals’ hopes that Murray will follow up his 2012 U.S. Open victory with another major title, this time at Wimbledon, only increased in the aftermath of surprisingly early losses this week by seven-time champion Roger Federer, two-time winner Rafael Nadal and two-time semifinalist JoWilfried Tsonga.

Wimbledon ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 All were seeded in the top six, and all were on Murray’s half of the draw.

Their departures mean the most daunting obstacle in Murray’s path until a potential final against No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic, anyway might very well be surging expectations.

“There’s a lot more pressure on me now, with them being out,” Murray acknowledged after compiling 40 winners and only 14 unforced errors against Robredo, taking advantage

of the zero-wind conditions under the closed retractable roof.

“I mean, I don’t read the papers and stuff. But there are papers in the locker room,” Murray continued with a chuckle, “so you see some of the headlines and stuff. It’s not that helpful.”

Nadal’s stunning firstround exit, for example, was viewed mainly through the prism of how that result helped Murray, who could have faced the 12-time major champion in the semifinals. “Adios Rafa.

Hello Andy. Wimbledon dreams again,” read a headline in The Times of London. The Daily Mail’s take: “Great start for Andy Rafa’s out.”

All in all, then, Friday was a perfectly British day, and not simply because Murray won his third straight-set match in a row. The lone other remaining singles player from the host country, 19year-old Laura Robson, made her way into the third round at Wimbledon for the first time, defeating

117th-ranked qualifier Mariana Duque-Marino of Colombia 6-4, 6-1.

That match, like Murray’s, was played with the Centre Court covered because of rain that played havoc with the schedule, and Robson heard her share of rowdy support, too. She also was serenaded with the “Awwwwwww” that often accompanies a mistake by a player the crowd really cares about.

“I love when people get involved,” Robson said.

“Sometimes they do, like, a

massive groan if I hit a double-fault, but I’m doing it as well. So, yeah, we’re just living it together.”

Robson eliminated 10th-seeded Maria Kirilenko in the first round, part of a wild first week. All told, four top-10 men (each on Murray’s half, coincidentally) and six top-10 women lost already, equaling the worst performance by the highest seeds at any Grand Slam tournament in the 45-year history of the Open era.

Speaking about the anyone-can-beat-anyone feel, 37th-ranked Jurgen Melzer of Austria said: “There has been so much talk about it, you cannot ignore it.”

He did manage to put a stop to it, however, at least as far as Sergiy Stakhovsky was concerned. Two days after serving-and-volleying his way past defending champion Federer, Stakhovsky played like a guy ranked 116th, losing 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 to Melzer.

Takes the victory in rain-shortened Nationwide race

Brad Keselowski, right, listens to crew chief Jeremy Bollins, left, as they wait for a decision on whether the NASCAR Nationwide series auto race at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky. would be continued. Keselowski won the rain-shortened event. both. Running in the top five on lap 150, Keselowski eventually got by Sadler for the lead before the sky opened up.

“You know, I didn’t want it to end this way but we had a great car and we were able to drive to the front,” Keselowski said.

“We didn’t qualify like we wanted to but Jeremy Bullins and this team did a great job.

“It was just a great car tonight. This is the type of car you get once a year if you are lucky. Driving this car I feel like Jimmie Johnson, this is a rocket.”

Busch led three times for a race-high 74 laps, mostly before the halfway point. The race featured 12 lead changes among seven

drivers.

One of the team was defending race winner Austin Dillon, whose quest was keeping the family name in victory lane for the third straight time at Kentucky. The grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress dominated here a year ago, leading 192 laps while averaging a race-record 151.643 in a Chevy sporting RCR’s iconic No. 3 made famous by seventime Cup champion Dale Earnhardt.

Dillon led 65 last September to complete a season sweep here. If that wasn’t enough motivation for him to stay hot — not to mention, cutting into his 45-point deficit to first-

place Regan Smith there was the opportunity to one-up his brother, Ty, who won Thursday night’s Truck race.

Dillon’s bid started well as he won the pole with a speed of 175.758 mph and he led the first 18 laps before yielding to Busch and eventually finishing sixth. As for the two Cup heavyweights, they seemed intent on a strong follow-up to their 2-3 finish in the Truck race.

Sadler and Crafton had their turns up front as well, but Keselowski carefully threaded his way back into the lead just before showers arrived, turning into a downpour soon after the race was called.

End of era as Celtics rebuild minus Pierce not now, later. Danny wanted to rebuild, and that’s what he’s doing.”

The longest-tenured member of the Celtics, Pierce is the team’s captain, a 10-time All-Star and a likely Hall of Famer. He is the second-leading scorer in the history of the NBA’s most-decorated franchise, and is also in the team’s top six in rebounds, assists, steals, games and minutes played.

Garnett is also a future Hall of Famer, though only the last six years of his career were in Boston. It’s Pierce, who slipped to 10th in the 1998 draft and has been a Celtic ever since, who had a chance to spend his entire career with the franchise and add his name to a list that includes Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Bill Russell and John Havlicek.

(But not Bob Cousy, Robert Parish or even Red

Auerbach.) “(It’s) sort of sad. You hate to see it,” said Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, who was an assistant on the Celtics 2008 championship team. “But that’s the NBA. It’s constant change, and you have to be ready to adapt. I think what Paul Pierce did for that franchise and Kevin I think’s it’s good for them. They have an opportunity to continue on.

“Good for the Celtics, where they can start their rebuilding.”

Pierce was drafted in the Rick Pitino era when the Celtics, already in the midst of the longest championship drought in franchise history, were a year removed from the secondworst record in the NBA (a mark that was not good enough to land them the top prize in the draft, Tim Duncan).

He helped the team 40292542

BOSTON (AP) — Letting Doc Rivers go to the Los Angeles Clippers was the first sign. Getting rid of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett clinched it.

The Boston Celtics are rebuilding.

The Celtics have agreed to the terms of a deal that would send the two remaining members of the Big Three that won the 2008 NBA title to the Brooklyn Nets for a package of draft picks and players. Garnett is a future Hall of Famer, but it’s Pierce’s departure that signals the end of an era for the league’s mostdecorated franchise.

“It’s sad to see everybody leave Boston. You just want them to go someplace where they have a chance to win, and they have,” Rivers said at Clippers draft headquarters late Thursday night. “It’s a great trade for Boston, too;

lot more guys on that team I can go to, but just because even if I’m here in Cleveland or back home in Brampton, I can talk to him anywhere I am.”

Bennett doesn’t arrive without questions. He recently underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and has reportedly struggled with his weight while recovering.

But the Cavs see him as the next piece — along with Thompson, Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters — to turn around a franchise that has gone 64-166 the past three seasons.

“A lot of guys in this draft were out for medical reasons, but at the end of the day we just felt like this was the right guy to add with all the talent he has,” Grant said. “You put him in a pick and roll with Dion or Kyrie, he’s going to be pretty difficult to guard because he can shoot the ball and is athletic and can handle the ball and get to the rim.”

GRAND GARAGES POLE BUILDINGS & STORAGE SHEDS

reach the Eastern Conference finals in 2002.

But, convinced that they were not likely to go farther, Ainge was brought in the next year to tear things apart again.

Boston plummeted back into the NBA lottery and again bad luck prevented them from landing a franchise player like Kevin Durant. Instead, Ainge swung deals for Garnett and Allen that earned the Celtics their NBA-record 17th championship in the very first year.

But Garnett was injured the next year, and Kendrick Perkins went down in Game 6 of the finals in 2010, when the Celtics lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. Then came two eliminations by Miami and, after five straight division titles, a third-place finish and first-round loss to the New York Knicks.

Kipnis, Indians pound White Sox CHICAGO (AP) — Jason Kipnis reached base six times and scored four runs, Ryan Raburn homered and drove in four, and the Cleveland Indians rallied from five down early on to pound the Chicago White Sox 19-10 in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Friday.

The Indians matched a season high for runs. They also set one with eight doubles while falling one hit shy of their season best with 21 in a game that lasted just over four hours.

Yet despite all that, Cleveland had to dig itself out of a five-run hole after the first inning and hang on after a nine-run lead dwindled to four.

Raburn gave the Indians some breathing room with a two-run drive off Ramon Troncoso in the seventh, making it 16-10.

He also had a two-run single to break a 5-all tie in the fourth and spark a sixrun rally.

Kipnis, who grew up in suburban Northbrook, Ill., had three doubles and drove in two runs. The only out he made was when

Alejandro De Aza ran down his line drive to left in the ninth.

Mike Aviles added three hits, two runs and two RBIs, sending the Indians to a lopsided win after they looked like they were ready to be blown out.

Things weren’t looking good for Cleveland after Adam Dunn and Jeff Keppinger homered while chasing Trevor Bauer during a five-run first, but in a flash, they turned this one around.

They scored five against Hector Santiago in the second and broke it open against Brian Omogrosso (0-2), who allowed nine runs in 2 1-3 innings. The Indians sent 10 batters to the plate in the fourth against him, with Raburn’s two-run, bases-loaded single breaking the tie and Drew Stubbs’ RBI triple off the wall in right-center making it 11-5.

Omogrosso also gave up run-scoring doubles to Nick Swisher, Yan Gomes and Lonnie Chisenhall in the fifth as the lead grew to 145.

THE

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Brad Keselowski took his final lead on the 156th lap and went on to a rainshortened victory Friday night in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway.

Showers halted the race at lap 170 in the scheduled 200-lap event, but drivers were expecting it to resume before another pocket of rain forced officials to call it off.

Keselowski settled for doing victory spinouts, being careful to avoid sliding into the wall on a night mostly spent on firm footing.

After Keselowski finished second Thursday night in the Truck Series race, the Sprint Cup champion led four times for 59 laps en route to his second victory of the year and second at the track in three years. Elliott Sadler was second, followed by Truck Series points leader Matt Crafton, Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch.

Series points leader Regan Smith saw his 28point advantage over Justin Allgaier coming in whacked to an eight-point edge over Sam Hornish Jr. after an engine problem that forced him behind the wall and left him 30th, 17 laps down.

The night mostly belonged to Busch and eventually Keselowski, who has a chance to add another trophy if he can win tonight’s 400-lap Cup race. If his first two races and Friday night in particular are any indication, he’s certainly the driver to beat.

Starting 19th, Keselowski quickly moved the No. 22 Ford into contention to make it a battle between him and Busch on a tripleheader weekend for

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 high in our rankings and as we went back and reviewed the film and went on campus and visited everybody, we came away saying he’s a great kid. He’s willing to work and do the right things and he’s got a bunch of talent.”

The Cavs listened to several trade offers before finalizing their decision to take Bennett, who averaged 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds in one season for the Runnin’ Rebels.

It’s possible Bennett won’t even start as a rookie and could wind up as a backup to fellow Canadian Tristan Thompson, who was taken by the Cavs in the first round in 2011.

The two grew up close to each other in Brampton, Ontario.

“I feel like me and Tristan will become best friends,” Bennett said.

“He’s going to be my go-to guy just because he’s from Canada. I’m sure there are

Earnhardt sets track record to take pole SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — The questions during NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying Friday were how many would raise drivers Kentucky Speedway’s record and by how much.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. provided the answer of the eight that broke it, clocking 183.636 mph to wrest the mark from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson and the pole for tonight’s race.

Earnhardt’s speed was nearly 2 mph faster than Johnson’s 181.818 mph last June, which he needed to keep Johnson from keeping the record.

Minutes before, Johnson had a lap at 183.144 mph to hold off Ryan Newman (182.254). Earnhardt set the standard in the No. 88 Chevy soon after and survived several furious attempts to unseat him before coming away with his 12th career pole and first at Kentucky.

Carl Edwards (183.306 mph) eventually grabbed the outside front in the No. 99 Ford. Johnson settled for third with Kyle Busch (182.593) fourth in a Toyota.

Marcos Ambrose (182.587) qualified fifth in a Ford and will start alongside Denny Hamlin, whose No. 11 Toyota ran 182.340 mph. The final two over 182 mph were Newman and defending race winner and champion Brad Cup Keselowski (182.192).

“I thought we had a good car in practice,” Earnhardt said, “and we got some cloud cover. That gave us an opportunity to run a good lap.”

Drivers felt as if a track record was possible with NASCAR’s new Gen 6 car, even on Kentucky’s bumpy surface. Anticipation grew even more with cooler-thanexpected temperatures and intermittent clouds, and several drivers gave chase to Johnson’s mark early in the session.

Park holds lead at LPGA U.S. Open SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Inbee Park led the U.S. Women’s Open with the second round suspended by fog.

The top-ranked Park shot a 4-under 68 on Friday for a 9-under total to lead fellow South Korean I.K. Kim by two strokes. The horn sounded with Park on the 18th fairway, and the group finished the hole. She calmly sank a birdie putt from about 12 feet to move closer to history.

Park is seeking to win the year’s first three majors; no one has accomplished that feat in a season with at least four. She has five victories this season.

Kim shot a 69 in the morning session.

Of the players yet to finish the round, the closest, England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff, was five strokes back with three holes to go.

Ha-Neul Kim, the firstround leader, had a 77 to fall back to 1 under.

• AT&T NATIONAL BETHESDA, Md. — Jordan Spieth, playing with nothing to lose, gave himself another chance to win going into the weekend at the AT&T National.

Spieth hit every green in regulation and extended his streak to 29 holes without a bogey on a tough Congressional course, giving him a 5-under 66 and a share of the lead with Roberto Castro (69) before storms halted the second round. They were at 7under 135, with the round to be completed Saturday morning.

The unwanted guest

Man arraigned in Hernandez’s murder case

Armstrong crashes the party at 100th Tour PORTO VECCHIO, Corsica (AP) — Lance Armstrong made himself the uninvited guest at the Tour de France on Friday, coming back to haunt the 100th edition of the race and infuriating riders both past and present by talking at length in a newspaper interview about doping in the sport.

Armstrong told Le Monde that he still considers himself the recordholder for Tour victories, even though all seven of his titles from 1999-2005 were stripped from him last year for doping.

He said his life has been ruined by the U.S. AntiDoping Agency investigation that exposed as lies his years of denials that he and his teammates doped.

He also took another swipe at cycling’s top administrators, darkly suggesting they could be brought down by other skeletons in the sport’s closet.

None of those comments broke new ground, but in answering questions from Le Monde a newspaper he scorned when he was still competing Armstrong ensured that his views on doping at the Tour would have maximum impact in France and couldn’t easily be written off as sour grapes being hurled at the race from afar. The respected daily is very much France’s newspaper of record. Its interview with the rider and his assertion that doping won’t be eradicated from cycling dominated French airwaves ahead of the race start on Saturday, causing dismay and anger in the sport desperate to prove that it has turned the page on his era of serial cheating.

The Tour’s director, Christian Prudhomme, suggested Armstrong was

In this May 20, 2010 file photo, Lance Armstrong bleeds from a cut under his left eye after crashing during the fifth stage of the Tour of California cycling race in the outskirts of Visalia, Calif. The dirty past of the Tour de France came back Friday to haunt the 100th edition of cycling’s showcase race, with Lance Armstrong telling a newspaper he couldn't have won without doping. milking the race’s notoriety to further his own agenda.

“This is a very big tournament, just look around: There are 2,300 accredited journalists here, there are cameras everywhere. So if someone wanted to transmit a message, this is the time obviously, especially since everyone likes this kind of controversial statements,” he said.

Armstrong’s comments and the consternation they caused highlighted cycling’s dilemma: It is a sport fighting to give itself a cleaner, brighter future

by combating drug cheats but much of that good work is being overshadowed by the dirty secrets of dopers from the past.

Pre-Tour, a drip-dripdrip of doping confessions and revelations about the Armstrong era have rained on the sport. Armstrong’s former rival on French roads, 1997 Tour winner Jan Ullrich, admitted to blood-doping for the first time. French media also reported that a Senate investigation into the effectiveness of anti-doping controls pieced together evidence of drug use at

the 1998 Tour by Laurent Jalabert, a former star of the race now turned broadcaster.

Armstrong’s claim that it was “impossible” to win the Tour without doping in his era echoed what he already told U.S. television talk show host Oprah Winfrey in January, when he finally confessed. Then, he said doping was “part of the job.” The banned hormone erythropoietin, or EPO, wasn’t detectable by cycling’s doping controls until 2001 and so was widely abused because it prompts the body to produce oxygen-carrying red blood cells, giving a big performance boost to endurance athletes.

“The Tour is a test of endurance where oxygen is decisive,” Le Monde quoted Armstrong as saying. It published the interview in French.

Asked later by The Associated Press to clarify his comments, Armstrong confirmed on Twitter he was talking solely about the period from 1999-2005.

He indicated that doping might not be necessary now.

“Today? I have no idea.

I’m hopeful it’s possible,” Armstrong tweeted.

Still, his comments touched a nerve both because cycling has since spent heavily on a pioneering anti-doping program and because Armstrong, once very much a boss of the peloton, is now a pariah.

“Those were cursed years for the Tour de France,” Prudhomme said.

“When Armstrong said it was impossible to win the Tour during those years without doping, he is probably trying to find excuses for himself and say implicitly that there was nothing else he could have done.”

Ortiz to face gun charge ATTLEBORO, Mass.

(AP) — An arrested man from former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez’s hometown was transferred to Massachusetts on Friday to face a gun charge connected to the murder case against Hernandez while a third suspect surrendered to authorities in Florida.

Carlos Ortiz, who lives in Bristol, Conn., and Ernest Wallace, who walked into a South Florida police station, were the men identified earlier as being with Hernandez and the victim the night of his shooting death, a prosecutor said.

Ortiz was charged with carrying an unlicensed firearm in North Attleborough, where Hernandez lives, on June 17, the day Boston semipro football player Odin Lloyd was found shot to death near Hernandez’s home. Details of the charge weren’t released.

Wallace, whose wanted poster was released Thursday night, surrendered in Miramar, Fla., police said. Authorities had been seeking Wallace on a charge of acting as an accessory after Lloyd’s murder. Details of that allegation also weren’t released.

Police arrested Hernandez on Wednesday at his home and charged him with orchestrating Lloyd’s execution-style shooting. Prosecutors said Hernandez orchestrated the killing because Lloyd talked to the wrong people at a nightclub.

Hernandez, Ortiz and

Wallace were in a car with Lloyd shortly before his death, Bristol County, Mass., District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter said.

“We now have in custody the three individuals who were in the silver Nissan Altima,” Sutter said Friday when Ortiz was arraigned on the gun in Attleboro charge District Court.

All three men have ties to Bristol, C o n n . : Hernandez grew up there, Ortiz had been l i v i n g there, and authorities ORTIZ had conflicting addresses for Wallace there and in Miramar.

Hernandez pleaded not guilty to murder and was denied bail Thursday.

Ortiz also was being held without bail pending a court hearing on July 9.

Wallace was taken to a jail in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., pending extradition proceedings, police said.

Hernandez’s lawyer argued in court that the case is circumstantial. He said Hernandez, who was cut by the Patriots the day he was arrested, wanted to clear his name.

Ortiz’s attorney, John Connors, said he will seek bail for his client at the July 9 hearing. He described Ortiz as a “gentle person” and said he will advise Ortiz to plead not guilty.

“I can say that his charge has nothing to do with homicide,” Connors said.

Pistorius resumes track routine JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A bearded and much skinnier Oscar Pistorius was “overcome with emotion” as he pulled on his carbon fiber running blades for his first track training since the killing of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, his agent said.

With a short beard and a blue hooded Nike sports top, the lean-looking double-amputee Olympian did some light jogging at his first formal session in around five months on Thursday.

He then described his return to a regular track routine for the first time since he fatally shot Steenkamp at his home on Feb. 14 as “bittersweet” to his agent, Peet van Zyl. “It was a very emotional experience for him to put the blades back on, to walk back onto the track, get the smell of the track,” Van Zyl, who went to the track at the University of Pretoria with Pistorius, told The AP on Friday. “It was tough for him. He said to me it was like a bittersweet feeling and emotion for him to be back on the track.”

Pistorius’ return to training was seen in a brief video clip released by his family. In the footage, which is around two minutes long, the athlete is first sitting on a chair at his usual training track at

the university pulling on his running blades. He then does some light jogging on the sunbathed track and, finally, wipes his face with both hands as he walks off the track, hinting at the emotion Van Zyl described.

Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder for Steenkamp’s Valentine’s Day shooting death. He denies murder and says he shot his girlfriend accidentally, believing she was an intruder in his house.

Pistorius’ next court appearance is Aug. 19, when prosecutors may indict him and a date could be set for the start of his murder trial, possibly in September or October. He faces a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years in prison if he is convicted by a judge of premeditated murder. There is no trial by jury in South Africa.

South African police

said the investigation into Pistorius’ shooting of Steenkamp was “at an advanced stage,” but declined to give further details, saying they “cannot be drawn into discussing the merits of the case.”

Prosecutors have said police will conclude their investigations by August and continue to probe the circumstances of Pistorius’ pre-dawn killing of Steenkamp, whom he shot multiple times through a toilet cubicle door.

In the last few months, the 26-year-old Pistorius has lost weight about 1012 kilograms and spends much of his time doing household chores at the Pretoria home of his uncle as he awaits his murder trial, Van Zyl said.

Pistorius looked much leaner in the video footage than he was at the London Olympics and Paralympics last year.
