A city bus makes its way through heavy downtown traffic Friday afternoon. A new yield-to-bus law, set to take effect Tuesday, should help city bus drivers navigate Lincoln Avenue and U.S. Highway 40. The city of Steamboat Springs and law enforcement officials will provide a demonstration of the new law at 1 p.m. Monday at the Stock Bridge Transit Center.

The city of Steamboat Springs will provide a demonstration Monday of a new state law that will aid city buses trying to re-enter traffic from a bus stop and also change the way traffic flows through Steamboat Springs, particularly downtown. House Bill 1027 requires drivers to yield to transit buses reentering traffic from a bus stop when the bus signals its intention and illuminates a yellow

Public Works Director Philo Shelton said the Colorado State Patrol will be on hand Monday to help explain how the law works. Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae said there has been “mirror slapping” and other accidents in the city between vehicles and city buses re-entering traffic, particularly on Lincoln Avenue in Old Town. Rae said he has yet to receive a fine schedule for violations, but he assumes it will carry a fine of $15 to $100 and count for two points against a person’s license.

“It’s not effective to have a bus sitting there at 5 p.m. unable to get back in traffic,” Rae said. Rep. Joe Rice and Sen. Dan Gibbs sponsored the bill on behalf of the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies. The bill was suggested by Shelton, a CASTA board member. Shelton said traffic studies conducted on Lincoln Avenue last year revealed that a yieldto-bus law could help relieve congestion in downtown See Bus, page 12

There, I joined about 30 cult followers of the multi-faceted red wine called zinfandel. Never have I spit so much expensive wine into a plastic cup and enjoyed it so much. The Wine Festival at Steamboat is in full swing this weekend, and I took the opportunity to learn more about a wine I often turn to when I need a little more spice with a spicy meal. I like adding mystery to some of the jammy red fruit — strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberries and even blueberries — I’ve come to expect from red wines.

Labels such as 7 Deadly Zins and Sin Zin abound. Ask Stewart Vandenberg, a grape grower from Healdsburg, Calif., and western regional sales manager for Alexander Valley Vineyards, whether clever wine labels are off-putting to serious oenophiles, and he doesn’t hesitate. “Zinfandels are meant to be fun,” Vandenberg said.

After five years of pizzas, sandwiches and beer, today will be the last day Doug Diamond can call himself owner of Black Mountain Tavern. Diamond, who has owned or co-owned the Oak Creek restaurant since it opened, has played his hand as restaurateur, and now he said it’s time for him to move on. “It’s like poker. When you can’t ante up, you can’t play any more,” he said. Diamond said Friday that he sold the business and that it likely would continue under the same name. He said he did not want to name the buyer. Diamond said the economic downturn has hit his business hard since November. “From Thanksgiving on, it was rough, rough, rough,” he said.

CONCERT REVIEW

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

About an hour and a half into his band’s set Wednesday night at Ghost Ranch Saloon, Akron/Family bassist Miles Seaton had reason to ask: “Can we start our show now?” The concert had started with a stirring but sparse sing-along to a chorus about wanting to “live in Woody Guthrie’s America,” and had moved through more musical styles than could ever be recounted. But it wasn’t until guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Seth Olinsky turned on a drum machine and laid down a dance groove that the band — highly acclaimed in some areas, less known in the mountains of Colorado — had more than three people to play to. By the end of the night, about a dozen people filled the floor and every head that hadn’t walked out of the venue earlier See Akron, page 13

Man admits to killing bear Zach Fridell PILOT & TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

An Eighth Street resident admitted to killing a bear in downtown Steamboat Springs on July 20, but he said the shot was intended only to scare the bear away. Kent Nightwalker said he intended to shoot into the dirt to scare the bear away from the alley behind his home. Instead, he said, he accidentally killed the 200- to 300-pound male bear. Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton said officers are continuing their investigation and have not issued a citation in the case.

Nightwalker said he was loading his car for a planned business trip July 20 when a bear “popped up, 4 or 5 feet” in front of him and went after the trash in a neighbor’s driveway at about 9:40 p.m. Nightwalker said he slammed his car door, ran inside and called 911. The dispatcher reportedly told him to go inside and wait until the bear left the area. Call logs show a call was placed from Nightwalker’s phone number at 9:59 p.m. “But I was working; I was getting ready to leave town. I went inside, I packed my clothes, watched television for a few minutes, and he was still wrestling around with this trash

can,” Nightwalker said. That’s when Nightwalker got a rifle, which was a gun his father handed down to him and that Nightwalker described as a .248, and went outside. He said he did not want to “cower” in his home while the bear was outside. “I brought it up. I was going to shoot down in the dirt near it to try to get it to leave,” he said. “It was wrestling around with the trash can. I couldn’t even see it; I could just see a little tiny bit of brown on its head.” The bear was “10 to 20 feet” away from Nightwalker, he said, and when he shot, he thought See Bear, page 12

City delays finance director hire Bob Litzau will lead department through 2010 budget process Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs City Manager Jon Roberts has chosen to delay the hiring of a finance director at a time when declining revenues and budget cuts have made the city’s coffers a principal concern. “After conducting a nationwide recruitment for the position of Finance Director, and after receiving input and recommendations from the interview team, our management team, and the staff of the finance department, we shall not, at this time, fill the position of finance director,” Roberts wrote Friday in an email to Steamboat Springs City Council and city department leaders. “(Assistant Finance Director) Bob Litzau shall continue in the capacity of interim finance director.” Three finalists were interviewed for the position last month. City Council President Loui Antonucci said he is disappointed, but not surprised, that the city didn’t receive a better response from applicants for the position. Antonucci guessed that, given the economic climate, potential applicants are hesitant to leave their current jobs and worried about the prospect of having to sell a home to make the move to Steamboat Springs. City Council wasn’t involved in the recruitment process. “From what I understand, there wasn’t a lot of applicants. (Roberts) told me it was kind of thin,” said Antonucci, who added that the Finance Department is shorthanded and stressed but that Litzau is doing a good job. “We’ve got a good staff, and

I’m glad that the city manager is we’ll get through it.” Roberts wrote in his e-mail waiting for a good fit.” Last month, Roberts said he that the city is “currently evaluating the most appropriate method is “looking for somebody who of adding additional resources obviously is very qualified with to the Finance a rock-solid background in municiDepartment,” but “We’ve got a good pal finance” and that any additional staff, and we’ll get somebody who can efforts to recruit through it.” innovatively and a director will be enthusiastically delayed until after Loui Antonucci confront the city’s the development of Steamboat Springs budget challenges. the 2010 budget.

COMMENTARY

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?

Health care realities Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

At a recent town hall meeting, a man stood up and told Rep. Bob Inglis to “keep your government hands off my Medicare.” The congressman, a Republican from South Carolina, tried to explain that Medicare is already a government program — but the voter, Inglis said, “wasn’t having any of it.” It’s a funny story — but it illustrates the extent to which health reform must Krugman climb a wall of misinformation. It’s not just that many Americans don’t understand what President Barack Obama is proposing; many people don’t understand the way American health care works right now. They don’t understand, in particular, that getting the government involved in health care wouldn’t be a radical step: The gov-

ernment already is deeply involved, even in private insurance. And that government involvement is the only reason our system works at all. The key thing you need to know about health care is that it depends crucially on insurance. You don’t know when or whether you’ll need treatment - but if you do, treatment can be extremely expensive, well beyond what most people can pay out of pocket. Triple coronary bypasses, not routine doctor’s visits, are where the real money is, so insurance is essential. Yet private markets for health insurance, left to their own devices, work very badly: Insurers deny as many claims as possible, and they also try to avoid covering people who are likely to need care. Horror stories are legion: The insurance company that refused to pay for urgently needed cancer surgery because of questions about the patient’s acne treatment; the healthy young woman denied coverage because she briefly saw a psychologist

after breaking up with her boyfriend. And in their efforts to avoid “medical losses,” the industry term for paying medical bills, insurers spend much of the money taken in through premiums not on medical treatment, but on “underwriting” — screening out people likely to make insurance claims. In the individual insurance market, where people buy insurance directly rather than getting it through their employers, so much money goes into underwriting and other expenses that only about 70 cents of each premium dollar actually goes to care. Still, most Americans do have health insurance, and are reasonably satisfied with it. How is that possible, when insurance markets work so badly? The answer is government intervention. Most obviously, the government directly provides insurance via Medicare and other programs. Before Medicare was established, more than 40 percent of See Krugman, page 9

Wise muddling through David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Everybody wants to be a striding titan. Almost all alpha-leaders want to be the brilliant visionary in a time of crisis — the one who sees the situation clearly, makes the bold plans and delivers the faithful to the other side. It almost never works out that way. The historian Henry Adams concluded that “in all great emergencies ... everyone was more or less wrong.” Abraham Brooks Lincoln didn’t feel like a heroic leader: “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.” In real crises, the successful leaders are usually the ones who cope best with ignorance and error. David Wessel’s about-to-be-released book, “In Fed We Trust,” gives a reveal-

MALLARD FILLMORE

ing blow-by-blow account of the recent financial crisis and illustrates this point. It is a tale replete with error. In theory, Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson and Tim Geithner were as well prepared as anyone for this sort of event. Bernanke had spent his life studying the Great Depression; Paulson had led the world’s most prestigious investment bank; Geithner had been involved in financial rescues in Asia and beyond. Moreover, all of them were expecting some kind of crisis. They knew there had been a dangerous surge of debt. And yet as the panic unfolded in 2007 and 2008, they continually underestimated its scope and implications. In July 2007, Bernanke estimated global losses from the subprime mortgages and other loans of $50 billion to $100 billion. The losses turned out to be in the neighborhood of $4 trillion. In October of 2007, Bernanke said the banking system

was healthy and doubted that the housing woes would destabilize it. He was wrong. Their decision not to bail out Lehman Brothers was based on a complete misreading of the economic psychology. Paulson was sick of doing bailouts. He seems to have had some sort of intuitive moral sense that it was time for some bank to pay for its mistakes. Bernanke and Geithner went along, and none of them anticipated the meltdown that followed. But this is not a story of failure. It’s a story of effective muddling through. Bernanke & Co. never really got control of events. But they did avert disaster and committed only a few big blunders. In the real world, that counts as a job well done. Bernanke’s first achievement was social, not intellectual. Wessel describes See Brooks, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Krugman continued from 8 elderly Americans lacked any kind of health insurance. Today, Medicare — which is, by the way, one of those “single payer” systems conservatives love to demonize — covers everyone 65 and older. And surveys show that Medicare recipients are much more satisfied with their coverage than Americans with private insurance. Still, most Americans younger than 65 have some form of private insurance. The vast majority, however, don’t buy it directly: they get it through their employers. There’s a big tax advantage to doing it that way, because employer contributions to health care aren’t considered taxable income. But to get that tax advantage employers have to follow a number of rules; roughly speaking, they can’t dis-

criminate based on pre-existing medical conditions or restrict benefits to highly paid employees. And it’s thanks to these rules that employment-based insurance more or less works, at least in the sense that horror stories are a lot less common than they are in the individual insurance market. So here’s the bottom line: If you currently have decent health insurance, thank the government. It’s true that if you’re young and healthy, with nothing in your medical history that could have raised red flags with corporate accountants, you might have been able to get insurance without government intervention. But time and chance happen to us all, and the only reason you have a reasonable prospect of still having insurance coverage when

you need it is the large role the government already plays. Which brings us to the current debate over reform. Right-wing opponents of reform would have you think Obama is a wild-eyed socialist, attacking the free market. But unregulated markets don’t work for health care — never have, never will. To the extent we have a working health care system at all right now it’s only because the government covers the elderly, while a combination of regulation and tax subsidies makes it possible for many, but not all, nonelderly Americans to get decent private coverage. Now Obama basically proposes using additional regulation and subsidies to make decent insurance available to all of us. That’s not radical; it’s as American as, well, Medicare.

Fed did good job getting people mobilized Brooks continued from 8 one long meeting and one tough decision after another. Rarely have so few endured so many conference calls for the sake of so many. And yet through all the talk, the fear and the rotten choices, Bernanke seems to have cultivated a feeling of comradeship and harmony within the group. He kept the conversation going. Something unexpected would happen. At one point AIG claimed it needed a $4 billion cash infusion. Within days it drew in $38 billion instead. Bernanke, Geithner, Paulson and others would just keep talking it through. They developed a feel for the crisis, and for the sort of traditions they would have to smash to address it.

Second, Bernanke avoided the grand gesture. Occasionally, Paulson would make a bold policy pronouncement. The idea was to lay down some sort of principle so the markets would understand the new rules and feel more secure. But then events would change and he’d have to reverse course. He’d end up producing more uncertainty, not less. Bernanke and Geithner favored a process of constant and gradual adjustment. They were navigating in a violent sea, shifting their weight this way and that to stay upright another day. They tried to solve one problem at a time and worry about the unintended consequences later. Their method didn’t produce a set of clear principles. Their lack of a grand plan or an

exit strategy worried some. But their method matched the chaos of the situation. This recession is happening at a time when many wonder whether the political system is capable of addressing the nation’s problems. The presidency has become a gargantuan enterprise in which mediastar leaders are surrounded by a permanent campaign apparatus. Congress is riven by ideology and dominated by parochial concerns. The Federal Reserve is not the most democratic institution, but under Bernanke et al, it seems to have done a good enough job. Self-effacement did not lead to timidity. Good people were mobilized and were able to talk frankly about the many things they did not understand.

‘Pirates of Penzance’ a worthy operetta John Whittum and Charlie Bates

OPERETTA REVIEW

W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s comic operetta once were enormously popular. In recent decades, though, they have been upstaged by musical productions that are perhaps superior in most respects, but it was a delight to revisit “The Pirates of Penzance.” It is unsurpassed for sheer silliness, and the tunes and lyrics have well withstood the passage of time. Gilbert and Sullivan had an enormously successful partnership but, strangely, were not especially good friends, partly because Sullivan wanted to compose serious music and resented having to put music to lyrics he regarded as preposterous and overly repetitive, which is, of course, their charm. They were opposite personality types. It worked for them thanks to their association with the impressario D’Oyly Carte, who built a theater for their productions. George Bernard Shaw said about Grand Opera that it was popular entertainment that had degenerated to an art form. Gilbert and Sullivan’s operettas have suffered no such degeneration, and moveover, are in English. Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp’s production of “The Pirates of Penzance” keeps it lowbrow by introducing slapstick that probably would not have been part of genteel

Victorian theater. These antics kept things moving on the small stage packed with performers, most of whom were beautiful girls. There was never a dull moment in Act I, set as it was on the palm tree-speckled coast of Cornwall. With so many performers in a limited space, with asymmetrical risers, the choreography was important for safety, and Ernesta Corvino made the stage movement flow beautifully. The special effects included waves undulating in the background and a giant pirate ship that could sail to and fro. The blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds later, in Act II, became a spectacular rose sunset. At the end, when the pirates win the battle but then acquiesce as the name of Queen Victoria is invoked, a portrait of the queen appears; she looks remarkably like June Lindenmayer, PerryMansfield’s executive director. “Pirates of Penzance” contains some fine pastoral poetry, for example, in Act II, part II: General: And the brook in rippling measure Laughs for very love, While the poplars in their pleasure, Wave their arms above.

A second call from a neighbor, reporting the dead bear, came at 10:13 p.m. Nightwalker said nobody came to his house that night and that he did not know what was going on in the alley behind his home as police responded to the scene. The bear reportedly was shot in the back of the head just below the skull. The next day, he said, he saw a trail of blood and realized he had shot the bear. He then left on the planned business trip to Montana. Nightwalker said he is not a hunter and has never purchased a gun.

the show — which ended up being free, but at one time had a posted cover of $15 — had three people dancing for the first hour. It’s probably a fair guess that the small crowd was a little disheartening to Akron/ Family, a band that likely hasn’t played to a disinterested audience in a few years. But low attendance didn’t seem to have any effect on the amount of energy the band put out, and the three people dancing had the uncommon chance to have a very good, very interesting band play a private show just for them.

in the set was bobbing. It’s a credit to the band’s mesmerizing stage presence that even after the dance beat faded, everyone they’d attracted to the floor kept moving, navigating the psych rock, folk harmonies and fireside sing-along sessions that carried the rest of the set. Akron/Family doesn’t make it easy for new audiences to wrap their minds around what they’re seeing. The trick is not to think about it too much. Yes, drummer Dana Janssen is play-

ing his drum kit with a maraca, and yes, that is a microphone in Olinsky’s mouth, and yes, Seaton is playing a beer bottle with a drumstick. But even when the sonic onslaught is too much to dance to, Akron/Family never lets the music slip into a lull and always pulls an experimental jam into a chorus or tight groove just in time. Solid information about Akron/Family is about as immediately accessible as the band’s sound — which is to say, not very. That’s one of many possible reasons that

the sole owner. “I want the restaurant to keep going,” he said. Diamond said the restaurant is a part of the community, with a reciprocal relationship that benefited the people of South Routt and the business. “The people of South Routt really, really took care of us. They’re great people. I have no animosity,” he said. “I just got caught.” Judy Deming, former owner of Judy’s Country Donuts and Bakery, said she has seen restaurants in Oak Creek hurt as the economy turned sour. “I’ve seen a tough time for the community, as far as restaurants like that, but there are a lot of restaurants in Oak Creek, and they’re all strug-

gling right now,” she said. “I think a lot of it has to do with the economy. People just don’t have that kind of money.” Deming said she knew Black Mountain was suffering and that it’s sad to have Diamond leave. “I hate seeing it. It’s kind of a bummer,” she said. Diamond said the support of South Routt residents allowed the restaurant to stay open as long as it has. During that time, Diamond estimates the restaurant has donated more than $3,000 to the Soroco High School art department through the sale of art from the restaurant walls. The restaurant took 10 percent of each sale and then asked artists whether they would be willing to donate another 10 percent to the art program.

Fortunately, Nance Billman came to my rescue. “If everyone tasted and liked the same things, I’d be out of a job,” Billman said. “We’d be Coke or Pepsi.” Ironically, Vandenberg said it could well be a hint of cola that I was tasting in the Sin Zin.

She urged the people attending the Zin City seminar to make the best of hard economic times by asking wine shops and fine dining restaurants to stock the bottles that appeal most to them.

Proposal to change tax eyed Steven K. Paulson

AROUND COLORADO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

��

STEAMBOAT TODAY

A Colorado lawmaker says state and local governments could lose $1.1 billion a year if it eliminates the business personal property tax. Democratic Sen. Joyce Foster, of Denver, released the estimate Friday at a meeting of a legislative task force reviewing proposals to reduce or eliminate the tax. Foster is chairwoman of the 17-member task force. Business leaders are clamoring for the state to eliminate the complicated business tax, saying it hurts Colorado’s ability to recruit new employers. Lawmakers counter that the tax is a major part of the budget. “If we can find a source for that that’s more fair, that’s more equitable, it will be a glorious, glorious outcome for the committee,” Foster said. Sen. Mark Scheffel, RParker, said it will be difficult to eliminate the tax because of the state’s budget crisis, and there are no suggestions about how to replace the money, which also goes to local governments and special districts. About 100,000 businesses are required to pay the tax. Scheffel said business leaders told him “this tax was an economic growth inhibitor, it was a job killer.” Scheffel sponsored a bill earlier this year to phase out the tax, but lawmakers rewrote it and created a task force to study the issue, one of several study committees during the past decade. Senate Bill 85 originally would have phased out the tax throughout 40 years start-

ing in 2011. Business owners long have complained about the business personal property tax, which applies to equipment, furnishings and other property, but many school districts also depend on the tax. The task force is expected to report to the Legislature by Nov. 1.

Judge picks grand jury in carbon monoxide deaths ASPEN

A judge has begun selecting a grand jury to investigate whether criminal charges should be filed in the carbon monoxide deaths of four people in the Aspen area during the Thanksgiving holiday. Pitkin County District Judge James Boyd on Friday started choosing 12 jurors and four alternates. Prosecutors will then present evidence to the jurors about the deaths. Parker and Caroline Lofgren, of Denver, and their two children, ages 8 and 10, were found dead the day after Thanksgiving in a home where they spending the holiday. They had won a weekend at the vacation home in a fundraiser. Investigators say a disconnected exhaust pipe in a utility closet was leaking carbon-monoxide gas.

David Kinterknecht. Kinterknecht was killed and two officers were wounded in the shootings July 25. Investigators identified the shooter as 52-year-old Dennis E. Gurney and say he took his own life. In a statement published in the Montrose Daily Press on Friday, Kinternecht’s wife, Kathy, wrote that she is “very angry now” but hopes to find peace and to focus on her husband’s life, not his death.

Fundraiser chosen for Capitol dome repairs DENVER

A nonprofit preservation group says it will lead a fundraising campaign for repairs to the Colorado Capitol’s gilded dome, which is suffering from rust, cracks and rot. Colorado Preservation said Friday the repairs will cost anywhere from $11 million to $30 million. The group says it was chosen by the Capitol Building Advisory Committee and the Legislature’s Capital Development Committee to lead the campaign. Weather has damaged iron columns, railings and facades of the mostly cast iron dome. The wood around windows in the dome also is rotting. State officials say visitors are in no immediate danger, although workers did put netting around the base of the dome in 2007 after a 10-pound chunk of cast iron fell off.

Court orders shorter sentence for ex-Qwest CEO P. Solomon Banda

On the ’Net

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

An appeals court has ordered a new, shorter sentence for exQwest CEO Joe Nacchio, saying his 6-year term for insider trading was too long. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the trial judge overstated the amount of Nacchio’s alleged financial gain. Nacchio was convicted in 2007 of 19 counts of insider trading and acquitted on 23 counts. Prosecutors alleged he sold $52 million in Qwest Communications International stock based on nonpublic information that the Denver-based telecommunications company was at risk. A three-judge panel at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Friday agreed with Nacchio’s lawyers that the $52 million figure was too high. Instead, the figure used should have been Nacchio’s net profit resulting from illegal insider trading. The appeals court did not say exactly what Nacchio’s sentence or fine should be, sending those determinations back to a lower court. Nacchio attorney Herbert J. Stern said they were gratified with the ruling, while Washington-based Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said they were reviewing it. A securities lawyer in Houston watching the case called Friday’s ruling a setback for government prosecutors seeking generous determinations of the harm from fraud.

Read the ruling: www.ca10.uscourts.gov/ opinions/07/07-1311b.pdf

“The calculation of sentence dollar amounts is hotly contested,” said securities attorney Tom Ajamie. “What is the proper dollar amount to look at? The government will want to argue damage to all shareholders, damage to the company, which can be in the hundreds of millions. The defense lawyers will always

argue, no, you have to look at the personal gain.” Prosecutors said Nacchio gained $44 million, while the court for sentencing purposes took the prosecutors’ figure and subtracted $16 million for taxes. His six-year sentence was based on an alleged profit of $28 million. Nacchio’s attorney’s argue that the former CEO is being punished for the price increase of Qwest stock from 1997, and his actual profit would have been $1.8 million, capping his prison sentence at 4 years,

three months. The court wrote that it disagreed with the district court’s analysis and said Nacchio’s gain should be calculated “in a manner that is more narrowly focused on producing a figure that reflects, in at least approximate terms, the proceeds related to his criminally culpable conduct.” Nacchio was ordered to forfeit $52 million, but the court said that amount should be adjusted to reflect brokerage, commission fees and and other direct costs of trading. The

appellate court ruled that the lower court misapplied the law in ordering Nacchio to forfeit the gross proceeds of the trades. Using the higher figure to calculate a sentence for Nacchio, the court wrote, “ignored the myriad of factors unrelated to his criminal fraud” that could’ve affected the value of the securities. Nacchio has appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court but was ordered to begin serving his prison term in April.

largely bottomed in the spring,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. “Businesses have made most of the adjustments they needed to make, and that will set up the economy to resume growing in the summer,” he predicted. Less drastic spending cuts by businesses, a resumption of spending by federal and local governments and an improved trade picture were key forces behind the better performance. Consumers, though, pulled back. Rising unemployment, shrunken nest eggs and lower home values have weighed down their spending. A key area where businesses ended up cutting more deeply in

��

The economy sank at a pace of 1 percent in the second quarter of the year, a new government report shows. It was a better-than-expected showing that provided the strongest signal yet that the longest recession since World War II is finally winding down. The dip in gross domestic product for the April-toJune period, reported by the Commerce Department on Friday, comes after the economy was in a free fall, tumbling at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the first three months of this year. That was the sharpest downhill slide in nearly three decades. The economy has now contracted for a record four straight quarters for the first time on records dating to 1947. That underscores the grim toll of the recession on consumers and companies. Many economists were predicting a slightly bigger 1.5 percent annualized contraction in second-quarter GDP. It’s the total value of all goods and services produced within the United States and is the best barometer of the country’s economic health. “The recession looks to have

the spring was inventories. They slashed spending at a record pace of $141.1 billion. There was a silver lining to that, though: With inventories at rock-bottom, businesses may need to ramp up production to satisfy customer demand. That would give a boost to the economy in the current quarter. The Commerce Department also reported Friday that the recession inflicted even more damage on the economy last year than the government previously thought. In revisions that date back to the Great Depression, it now estimates the economy grew just 0.4 percent in 2008. That’s much weaker than the 1.1 percent growth the government had calculated earlier. “The GDP revealed that the recession we faced when I took office was even deeper than anyone thought at the time,” President Barack Obama said. “But the GDP also revealed that in the last few months, the economy has done measurably better than we had thought, better than expected.” Also Friday, the government reported that employment compensation for U.S. workers has grown during the past 12 months by the lowest amount on record, reflecting the severe recession that has gripped the country.

After hours of confusion about whether the Cash for Clunkers program had run out of money, it was game on again Friday for car dealers, TV stations and newspapers, who had worried that one of the few bright spots for their industries would end after one week. Dealers around the country pondered Friday whether to pull ads for the program, which was supposed to have run until November or until the $1 billion initially set aside ran out. The deal — which gives as much as $4,500 for trade-ins if they meet certain conditions — saw so many sales in its first week that the funds already were dwindling. But the U.S. House moved to approve an additional $2 billion for the program later Friday. While that scenario played out, there was confusion across the country for shoppers, dealers and advertisers. In Lincoln, Neb., an ad representative for the Lincoln Journal Star was overheard bemoaning her nightmarish day because all the car dealers were trying

to finish up their big Saturday advertisements — but no one knew what was going on with the program. In Victor, N.Y., Kitty Van Bortel said she was caught in limbo about whether to pull the plug on rebates at the Ford and Subaru dealerships she owns. “Honestly, in all my years in the car business, I have never seen such a mess. It’s just unbelievable,” she said Friday morning, saying she was locked into her advertising for the weekend, no matter the outcome. The auto industry is the nation’s biggest advertiser, though it trimmed its first-quarter spending by 28 percent to $2.31 billion from $3.22 billion in the same period last year, according to TNS Media Intelligence.. Dealers cut ad spending far more than manufacturers, dropping ad purchases 49 percent to $643.9 million in the first quarter. Manufacturers trimmed spending by 15.2 percent to $1.67 billion, from $1.96 billion. Dealers have been hit particularly hard by the auto industry woes, with manufacturers such as Chrysler and GM announc-

ing plans to close thousands of dealerships as they look to cut costs and deal with slumping demand. The Darrow Auto Group was anxious Friday to see whether the clunker program would continue. The program already has helped sales at its 20 dealers, said Mike Darrow, executive vice president of the Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based company. Starting last Friday, the company already had spent $40,000 on two weeks worth of television and radio advertising for the program, which he said was more than what it would spend for a typical promotion because of all the exposure the deal had been getting. Now with more federal funding likely, it’s possible the marketing will increase to keep fueling demand, Darrow said, though he cautioned it may taper off if inventory can’t keep up. “The main thing is we’re going to keep it going,” he said. “We’re going to have to see how the month and the week finishes here. I think Monday morning we’re going to have to look at our inventory levels, and see if we need to beef it up.”

LOS ANGELES

Dr. Conrad Murray was in dire financial shape when he signed on as Michael Jackson’s personal physician earlier this year at $150,000 a month. The Las Vegas cardiologist owed a total of at least $780,000 in judgments against him and his medical practice, outstanding mortgage Jackson payments on his house, delinquent student loans, child support and credit cards. Court records chronicling Murray’s woes in Las Vegas, where authorities searched his home this week as part of a manslaughter investigation into Jackson’s death, might help explain why — beyond the chance to get close to a celebrity — Murray seized the chance to keep the pop star healthy through a series of concerts in London. But more than that, the financial pressures on Murray could help prosecutors establish a motive if he ends up facing charges. “Here he is, dealing with one of the most famous people in the world. There may have been a great deal of pressure to do what Michael Jackson wanted, give him the drugs he wanted, treat him the way Michael Jackson wanted to be treated, even if it wasn’t in keeping with medical protocol,” said Steve Cron, a criminal defense attorney and adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s law school. Authorities investigating Jackson’s death at his rented Los Angeles mansion think Murray gave the star a fatal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him sleep, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Propofol is commonly used for surgery and is not meant as a sleep agent or to be given in private homes. Because of its potency, only trained anesthesia professionals are supposed to administer it, and patients are supposed to be constantly monitored. If prosecutors bring charges, Murray’s financial trouble “does potentially provide evidence of good motive for financial-based crimes, including prescribing when there is not a medical necessity,” said Rebecca Lonergan, a University of Southern California law professor and former federal prosecu-

tor of health care fraud cases. Murray, 56, has not spoken publicly since Jackson’s June 25 death. His lawyer, Edward Chernoff, has said the doctor did not prescribe anything that “should have” killed Jackson. Murray was hired through Jackson’s promoter in May, as his bleak financial picture threatened to worsen.

credit unions, investment advisers and mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The White House and Senate Democrats haven’t endorsed the measure, leaving its prospects uncertain. The Senate Banking Committee planned to take up the proposal in the fall as part of a broader bill overhauling financial regulations. “Obviously it has some important things that we think need to become law, and we’ll take a look at the full bill,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Friday. The legislation includes Pres-

ident Barack Obama’s suggestion that shareholders get a nonbinding vote on compensation packages. It also would prohibit members of compensation committees from having financial ties to the company and its executives, as Obama wanted. But House Democrats added a provision that would require regulators to issue new guidelines prohibiting pay packages that encourage “inappropriate risks” that could “threaten the safety and soundness” of the institution or “have serious adverse effects on economic conditions or financial stability.”

Big banks reward stars with huge bonuses

��

Bowing to populist anger, the House voted Friday to prohibit pay and bonus packages that encourage bankers and traders to take risks so big they could bring down the entire economy. Passage of the bill on a 237185 vote followed the disclosure a day earlier that nine of the nation’s biggest banks, which are receiving billions of dollars in federal bailout aid, paid individual bonuses of $1 million or more to nearly 5,000 employees. “This is not the government taking over the corporate sector,” Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C, said of the House action. “It is a statement by the American people that it is time for us to straighten up the ship.” Aware of voter outrage about the bonuses, Republicans were reluctant in Friday’s debate to push back, even though they voted overwhelmingly against the bill. They said severe restrictions should apply only to banks that accept government aid. The legislation’s ban on risky compensation would apply to any firm with more than $1 billion in assets, including bank holding companies, broker-dealers,

Even when their profits dried up and they turned to taxpayers to stay afloat, the nation’s biggest banks kept paying huge bonuses. But much of the money went not to top executives but to star traders and salesmen, even as the economy battled through the worst recession in a generation. The bonuses — including $1 million or more for each of nearly 4,800 bankers at nine of the largest firms — were paid for 2008, along with scores of smaller checks to thousands of rank-and-file employees. But their revelation this week has renewed criticism of companies relying on government aid. The House of Representatives voted Friday to sharply restrict how Wall Street pays its executives and workers, barring compensation that rewards excessive risk-taking. But the bill only applies to future payments and do not cover the bonuses for last year, revealed in a report by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

Girl accused of kidnapping infant Jay Lindsay

WORCESTER, MASS.

Little things nagged at Cindy Dion while her son’s girlfriend, Julie Corey, was pregnant: One month Corey said she was four months’ pregnant — the next it was eight. Her due date pushed back drastically as it neared. And Corey suddenly refused to let Dion’s son, Alex, accompany her to the doctor But Dion put her questions aside when her granddaughter was born last week, and her son couldn’t stop smiling. The family even held a cookout to welcome the child, whom he and his girlfriend planned to name Alida Nevaeh. Now, the baby is in state custody and Julie Corey — Alex Dion’s on-and-off girlfriend of two years — is in jail on $2 million bail, accused Thursday of kidnapping an infant that was cut out of her mother’s womb. The mother, Darlene Haynes, was found dead Monday in Worcester. Police have not charged anyone in her death. Cindy Dion said Friday it’s devastating that she got a chance to hold and love the baby when Haynes never did. She struggles to speak when she considers she might never see the baby she thought was her granddaughter again. “It’s killing me. I’ve got a hole in my heart,” Dion said before breaking down and weeping. Dion said Corey was clearly expecting when the family held a shower for her in May. But looking back, Dion said, Corey’s behavior during the pregnancy was odd. She told the family she was four months’ pregnant in April but said she was eight months’ pregnant by the shower a month later. She wouldn’t let Alex Dion accompany her on doctor’s visits after a test indicated the baby might have developmental problems. The baby was originally due in mid-June, but Corey, 35, told the family she was going to have a cesarean section in late July. Dion said she was set to go the hospital July 24 to be with Corey after the procedure, but Corey called her the night before to say she was about to give birth.

Cuba enters crisis mode

Country announces that its economy is worse than expected Will Weissert

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA

��

Cuba clicked into crisis mode Friday, postponing a key Communist Party congress aimed at charting a post-Castro future and announcing that its woeful economy is even worse than expected. Cubans will have to make do with less, top communists suggested, as they insisted the armed forces are strong enough to deal with any unrest.

Blasts near mosques kill 29 in Iraq A string of bombings targeted Shiite worshippers in the Baghdad area during Friday prayers, killing at least 29 people in an apparently coordinated attack against followers of an anti-U.S. cleric who were blamed for some of Iraq’s worst sectarian violence. The blasts shattered a recent calm and underscored warnings that suspected Sunni insurgents would step up efforts to stoke sectarian violence as the Americans draw down their forces. Despite the violence, July remained one of the calmest months for Iraqis and the least deadly for American forces. The largest blast was a car bombing near the al-Shoroufi mosque that killed at least 24 people and wounded nearly 30 in the northern neighborhood of Shaab, a former stronghold of the militia led by Muqtada al-Sadr, whose forces were accused of being behind sectarian bloodshed and were routed last year in a U.S.-backed government offensive. The mosque was seized by Iraqi security forces more than

a year ago and has been used as a base after explosives and ammunition were found inside. But worshippers continued to hold weekly Friday prayer services on the street outside. Bloodied prayer rugs and sandals covered the area after the explosion. Odai Khalil, a 25-year-old mechanic who witnessed the blast, said the explosives were packed inside a taxi at a nearby parking lot. “After the explosion, worshippers attacked the Iraqi commandos by throwing rocks at them, thinking that they left

ment reopen the al-Shoroufi mosque so a massacre like this won’t happen again,” al-Kenani said. In the past, bombings blamed on Sunni insurgents would be followed by mortar attacks and execution-style killings seen as retaliation by the Shiite extremists. U.S. military commanders have said they are optimistic the Shiites will continue to show restraint. A car bomb also exploded near an outdoor market in a Kurdish area in the disputed city of Kirkuk, killing at least two people, local police officer Brig. Gen. Sarhat Qader said.

Official likely to request more troops THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The U.S. general put in charge of turning around the war in Afghanistan is likely to recommend significant changes in the campaign and may include a request for more U.S. forces that the White House is expected to resist. Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s long-awaited reassessment of the war against Taliban insurgents aims for a transformation of the shaky rela-

tionship between U.S. forces and Afghan civilians as troops press a counterinsurgency strategy of clearing and holding populated areas, said officials apprised of the report’s contents. The biggest change urged in McChrystal’s report is a “cultural shift” in how U.S. and foreign troops operate — ranging from how they live and travel among the Afghan population to where and how they fight, a senior military official in Kabul said Friday. The latest draft of the

assessment also urges speeding up the training of Afghan soldiers and police and nearly doubling their numbers to roughly 400,000, said a senior defense official in Washington, one of several uniformed and civilian officials who spoke on condition anonymity because the report has not been made public.

Nearly simultaneous explosions struck four other Shiite mosques in Baghdad and south of the capital.

All the mosques were Sadrist except the al-Hakim mosque in Kamaliyah, which belongs to a rival Shiite party. An al-Sadr aide, Amir alKenani, called it a coordinated attack against the cleric’s loyalists, blaming al-Qaida in Iraq and political parties trying to undermine the movement.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad begins his second term next week undermined by a deepening feud with his fellow hard-liners and under assault from a pro-reform opposition movement that has shown it can bring out thousands of protesters despite a fierce seven-weekold crackdown. Ahmadinejad on Friday sought shelter with his top supporter, declaring that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is like a father to him. Ahmadinejad accused his hard-

line rivals of trying to drive a wedge between him and the man who sits at the top of Iran’s clerical leadership and who has final say in all state Ahmadinejad matters. On Monday, Khamenei leads a ceremony formally approving Ahmadinejad’s second term, and two days later Ahmadinejad is to be sworn in before parliament, despite opposition claims that he won the June 12 presidential election by fraud and that his government is illegitimate. In a sign of the growing chal-

lenge the president also faces from some in the religious establishment, an influential clerical group at the seminary in the holy city of Qom called Friday for the opposition to continue its campaign against the election results. A statement on the Web site of the Association of Teachers and Researchers also criticized arrests of protesters and abuses in prisons. “Reports of inhuman torture are heard every day. They don’t allow funeral and memorial ceremonies for victims, and unfortunately all this is done under the name of Islam,” the group said.

Iannetta hit a full-count hanging slider from Weathers (2-3) into the left field seats for his 12th homer of the season to snap a 3-3 tie. Gonzalez followed on the next pitch with a homer into the right-field seats, his second of the season and first in 69 at bats since June 18 to help send the Reds to their 10th loss in their past 11 games. Cincinnati is 3-12 since the AllStar break. “I just didn’t execute,” Weathers said. “That’s not the first time I’ve done that, and it probably won’t be the last time.

The Steamboat Springs High School hockey team advanced to the second round of the state playoffs for the first time in the program’s history last year. But as sports mentalities go, that’s not enough. The team, the coaches and the players want more.

Woods bounces back with 2nd-round 63 at Buick Open Larry Lage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, MICH.

Tiger Woods shot a seasonlow 63 on Friday in the second round of the Buick Open and soared up the leaderboard with his best round in relation to par in four years. Poor putting led to an awful start the previous day in his first tournament since missing the cut at the British Open.

“I took advantage of driving on a string again,” he said. “I hit my irons a little better, and I made some putts.” In relation to Woods par, it was his best round since he had an 11-under 61 at the 2005 Buick Open. Woods began that tournament with a 71 just as he did Thursday. His last 63 helped him repeat at

GOLF the 2007 PGA Championship. Woods was 6 under through five holes for the best five-hole start of his career. Michael Letzig (65) had the clubhouse lead at 12 under. “That probably won’t be the lead at the end of the day,” Wood predicted. Woods followed up what he called probably the worst putting day of his career with a good

one, helping him go into the weekend at 10-under 134. He teed off early Friday morning, hitting his first drive 342 yards straight into the blinding sun. He went on to a birdiebirdie-eagle-birdie-birdie tear to remove the remote chance he would miss the cut in consecutive events for the first time as a pro. Woods had to break 70 on Friday to avoid putting himself in danger of missing the cut, but he said that possibility didn’t

enter his mind. “I just wanted to get off to a quick start and take advantage of the holes you’re supposed to take advantage of,” said Woods, who began the second round on the easier back nine at Warwick Hills. “I birdied a few more than I thought I would.” John Daly almost hit rock bottom with an 88, one shot off his career-high 89 last year at the British Open, and ended the tournament 20-over 160.

McDaniels, making them the first rookie holdouts in Denver since running back Tatum Bell showed up late in 2004. Bailey, the perennial Pro Bowl cornerback who suffered through an injury-filled 2008 season and underwent offseason elbow surgery, recently said he was 100 percent. But he was held out of the team’s first workout along with defensive tackle Marcus Thomas and safety Renaldo Hill. McDaniels declined to divulge why they were out, saying it was his policy not to discuss injuries, even on July 31, six weeks ahead of the season. “They’ll be out here when they’re ready to practice,” McDaniels said. All three players ran 50-yard sprints before the morning practice. The Broncos are counting on a bounce-back season from Bailey, whose streak of eight straight Pro Bowls came to a halt after he

missed seven games with a torn groin last season and Denver’s defense unraveled. Moreno, a running back from Georgia, was the 12th overall pick in the draft, and Ayers, a pass-rusher from Tennessee, was the 18th selection. “I think every day that they miss hurts their opportunity to create a role on our team, or a bigger role on our team,” McDaniels said. “Obviously, they’ll have a role. But they’re missing meetings and installations and walkthroughs and practice time and film study and all that stuff. So, we’re eager to have them here.” In their absence, some other young players made good first impressions on the new coaching staff with their first full-pads practice since McDaniels replaced Mike Shanahan during the winter.

Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder, who are switching from defensive end to outside linebacker in the Broncos’ new 3-4 scheme, showed they’re a better fit in this system than they were in the old 4-3 alignment. One player who returned to practice Friday was recalcitrant receiver Brandon Marshall, who is unhappy with his contract and has asked for a trade. After practicing Monday, Marshall sat out two days of workouts with rookies and other veterans who were coming off injuries. On Friday, he delighted the crowd with a series of difficult grabs. “That was good to see,” slot receiver Brandon Stokley said. “He came out here, I mean, he looked really good.” “Yeah, he definitely showed up, made some big plays,” McDaniels said. “He’s an explosive guy and it’s a good sign to see him out there running.”

The Colorado Rockies beefed up their injury-riddled bullpen Friday, acquiring left-handed reliever Joe Beimel from the Washington Nationals for two minor league pitchers. Washington also sent cash to the Rockies to pay for part of Beimel’s contract. The Nationals received right-handed prospects Ryan Mattheus and Robinson Fabian. It was the second deal the last-place Nationals made Friday. They also sent first baseman Nick Johnson to the Florida Marlins for left-hander Aaron Thompson. Entering the weekend, the Rockies trailed San Francisco

by a game in the NL wild-card race. “You don’t get an opportunity to win every year,” Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd said. “It gives us a legitimate chance to win.” The Rockies’ relief corps has been thinned by injuries, losing lefty Alan Embree to a broken leg earlier this month and then Manny Corpas, who recently underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. Colorado acquired righthanded reliever Rafael Betancourt from the Cleveland Indians on July 23, using him

as the eighth-inning bridge to closer Huston Street. The Rockies also recently purchased the contract of promising right-hander Jhoulys Chacin from DoubleA Tulsa to bolster their bullpen. Beimel will join Franklin Morales as the only lefties in the Rockies’ bullpen. Beimel was 1-5 with one save and a 3.40 ERA in 45 appearances with Washington this season. “He has a lot of versatility,” O’Dowd said. “We think he’s a very good left-handed reliever in the bullpen if used properly. He has a chance to be a valuable part of the group we’ve got down there.”

also serve as the prime skill and technique building blocks for the season. The sessions usually focus on one skill element of hockey. For instance, a lot of the practices work on 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 situations. Others work on passing, skating, stick handling and positioning. The camps are essential for Steamboat. Whereas powerhouse teams from Colorado Springs and Denver often play

in a quasi-high school league in the summer and spring, Steamboat doesn’t have that luxury. Teams from the Front Range often get more than 20 games in during the offseason, essentially equating to another season. Although Steamboat will play in a fall club league with some teams from Denver, Vail and Summit, it’s these summer workouts that should go a long way come playoff seeding time. It’s critical for Steamboat to develop skills in the summer,

so the team can focus on other areas when the winter season begins. Ruff said the workouts allow the team to work on systems, power plays and penalty kills when the first practice of the high school season begins, rather than belaboring the finer points of shooting, skating and passing. “We’re committed to a successful program,” Ruff said. “This is all part of what it takes. Other coaches do the same thing and we want to be competitive.”

First-round leader Sandra Gal, of Germany (80), and Angela Stanford (76), who was tied for second Thursday, had disappointing rounds.

Gatti’s body exhumed for new autopsy Bradley Brooks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO

Boxer Arturo Gatti’s body was exhumed Friday to allow the Quebec coroner’s office to perform a new autopsy at his family’s request. The development comes a day after Brazilian police classified Gatti’s death as a suicide. Until Thursday, police in the northeastern Brazil city of Recife considered it a homicide, with his wife as the prime suspect. Now, police say Gatti hanged himself with a handbag strap from a staircase column more than seven feet off the ground. Gilles Ethier, deputy chief coroner of the western part of the Province of Quebec, said Gatti’s family had retained an American pathologist, who will assist with the autopsy Saturday morning at

the Montreal morgue. “Clearly, it’s necessary for us to pursue the investigation,” Ethier said. “Of course, it’s a little more complex for the pathologist because the body has been embalmed.” Gatti’s Montreal funeral was July 20. Many of his friends and family have expressed disbelief at the suicide ruling, and Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said in a statement Friday that government officials will seek more information from Brazilian authorities on the Gatti investigation and its findings. Ellen Haley, a spokeswoman for Main Events, the longtime promoter of Gatti’s bouts, said in a statement “we do not believe that he took his own life.” She said members of the Gatti family, along with his boxing manager Pat Lynch, will carry

out their own investigation. “We believe that once the results of that investigation are revealed, the truth will come to light and justice will be done,” Haley said. Gatti’s wife, 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues, was released Thursday after being held since July 12 in Recife. She and Gatti arrived with their 10-month-old son a few days before in the resort town of Porto de Galinhas, where they rented a two-level apartment. “The exhumation does not surprise me at all. It makes perfect sense,” Rodrigues’ attorney, Celio Avelino said by telephone. “Gatti’s family was first told by police that Amanda had killed him, and now they are saying he committed suicide. Of course, family and friends have doubts and are demanding another autopsy — as they should.”

Tennessee amateur Tim Jackson left Greg Norman and Joey Sindelar behind Friday in the U.S. Senior Open. The 50-year-old Jackson real estate developer shot a 5-under 67 at Crooked Stick to take the lead at 11-under 133 — matching the lowest 36-hole total in event history. He opened with a 66 on Thursday, the best score ever by an amateur in the tournament. Norman stumbled early in the round, but recovered nicely, ending the round with two straight birdies to get to 8 under.

He was three strokes back after a 70. Sindelar was a stroke behind Jackson. He started on the back nine and followed his courserecord 66 with a 68. A birdie on No. 6 gave Sindelar a share of the lead, but he dropped a stroke on the next hole and finished the day by pulling a 5-foot birdie putt that would have tied Jackson to the left. Fred Funk (67) was third at 9 under. He led briefly Friday before Jackson had three straight birdies on the back side.

He also consistently outdrove playing partners Jeff Klein and John Harris, routinely hit greens and putted well. Jackson wasn’t the only player scoring well on the 7,316-yard course, the longest in tournament history. Dan Forsman (71) eagled No. 9 and birdied his final hole to go to 7 under.

No need to worry about a Michael Phelps boycott. Swimming’s governing body will ban record-breaking bodysuits beginning Jan. 1, a move that comes partly in response to a threat from Phelps’ coach to pull his swimmer from competition until the suits are outlawed. “It’s going to be cool come Jan. 1 to be able to have all of us pretty much wearing the same suit,” Phelps said Friday after swimming the leadoff leg as the Americans broke the world record in the 800 freestyle relay.

“All of this is going to be finished, and then we’re going to be able to talk about swimming again, not suits.” Earlier this week, FINA announced a ban but said it might not come into effect until April or May. “Now, without a doubt, the rules are applying Jan. 1, 2010,” FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu said Friday. “The manufacturers are ready and can begin (suit) submissions Nov. 1 or before.” The comments from Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, came immediately after the swimmer

was upset by unheralded Paul Biedermann, of Germany, in the 200-meter freestyle Tuesday. Biedermann wore a 100 percent polyurethane Arena suit, while Phelps stuck with last year’s Speedo LZR Racer, which is less than half polyurethane. This year suits from Italian manufacturers Arena and Jaked are considered faster. Last year, Phelps and others wearing the LZR profited from its increased speed. Under the new rules, it, as well as the Arena and Jaked suits, will be banned. Men will be restricted to suits that extend from the waist to the top of the knees; women’s suits cannot go past the shoulders or beyond the knees.

Phelps wasn’t too bothered about giving up his record. He knows the real race is Saturday. “I try to keep most comments to myself to fire me up on the inside,” Phelps said, savoring his third gold medal of the championships after leading off for the Americans in the 800 freestyle relay. “I’ve had success doing that in the past, and I’m not about to start making comments now. I’ll let the swimming do my talking.” Cavic takes a different approach. If there’s something on his mind, he’ll say it. He doesn’t really care who he offends — even the guy who won eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

After the morning prelims, Cavic said he’s tired of hearing complaints from the Phelps camp about competing in an inferior suit, even offering to buy him one of the polyurethane models responsible for most of the worlds records at the Foro Italico. In the evening semifinals, Cavic nearly becoming the first swimmer to break 50 seconds, settling for a world record of 50.01 in his speedy Arena XGlide suit. Phelps was the second-fastest qualifier at 50.48. “I didn’t want to go out so fast, but I had so much energy in my body that I couldn’t help it,” said Cavic, who broke Phelps’ mark of 50.22. “I’m capable of swimming under 50, which would be enough to win the gold.” The two will be side by side

Tony Stewart won at Pocono Raceway this season from the rear of the field. He gets to try it this time from the pole. Rain washed out Sprint Cup qualifying Friday, putting Stewart on the pole and giving the points leader a shot at sweeping the races on the triangle track from worst and first. “You don’t have to be on the pole to win here,” Stewart said. “It’s obviously a lot easier if you can start up front and don’t have to pass 42 cars to get there. It’s not a deal-breaker if you have to start 43rd. We proved that last time.” Qualifying for the June’s race at Pocono also was rained out and Stewart was awarded the pole. He wrecked the next day in

NASCAR practice, forcing him to the back of the field. Smoke responded with his first Cup points race victory as owner/driver. Stewart holds a 192-point lead in the points standings against last week’s winner Jimmie Johnson. “I don’t know how I could ask for any more,” Stewart said. “I’d love to have five wins like Mark (Martin) has, but other than that, I’m extremely satisfied with what we’ve done.” Stewart’s win at Pocono made him the first owner/driver to win a race since Ricky Rudd at Martinsville in 1998. Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards round out the top five. Denny Hamlin, Stewart’s teammate Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Martin and Juan Pablo Montoya complete the

top 10. Only 43 teams are at the track, so every car qualifies for Sunday’s race. “I feel like we had a really good car for qualifying,” Johnson said. “Second isn’t bad at all, but I feel like we had a shot at the pole today.” The steady rain late in the afternoon wiped out the second practice session. “Does it rain here all the time like this?” Edwards said. Edwards won the race here last August after waiting out a 41-minute red flag because of, yup, rain. He hasn’t won a Cup race this season after taking the checkered flag nine times last year. Still, Edwards is a comfortable fifth in the Chase for the championship standings and is a near lock to compete for his first championship in the final 10 races.
