MOFFAT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS gather for their weekly meeting Tuesday. It was the first meeting in five weeks where all three commissioners were present. John Kinkaid, center, acknowledged Tuesday that his five-week leave of absence was to check himself into rehab for alcohol and prescription drug abuse at the Harmony Foundation in Estes Park.

Commissioner returns from rehab, hopes to restore trust from Moffat County DAILY PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

@CraigDailyPress

CRAIG — It’s been a long five weeks for Moffat County Commissioner John Kinkaid, who abruptly left town in April to check himself into rehab for alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Kinkaid said Tuesday that he initially was hesitant to tell the community why he took a 30-day leave of absence, but ultimately he decided that telling the truth was best for him, his constituents and his family. After being treated at the Harmony Foundation in Estes Park for five weeks, he said he’s better equipped to help fellow

commissioners Tom Mathers and Chuck Grobe run Moffat County. “I want to apologize for having to take off,” Kinkaid said. “Now that I’m back, I want the rest of Moffat County to know that they are going to have the best of me.” The county paid Kinkaid his normal salary while he was gone. He received roughly $3,000 from the county during his stay at the treatment

program. To prove to the community he’s dedicated to his work and that he’s not taking advantage of the situation, he and his wife dropped off a check Tuesday at the Moffat County Fair for $3,000. “We felt it would be in the best interest for everyone if we donated my net income back to the community,” he said, noting that it’s up to Moffat County Fair officials to decide how to spend the money. Fair officials confirmed the donation Tuesday. His medical expenses at the Harmony Foundation totaled $19,000. He and his wife, Paula Kinkaid, decided to use money from their retirement fund to

pay for rehab rather than have the county pay for his treatment. “I took care of it privately. We took it out of our pension,” he said. “We did not have the county pay for it.” Fearful of what the community will think now that the truth is out, Kinkaid said he hopes to restore faith in his abilities to successfully continue as a commissioner. The community “can expect really good things from me. I’m back to being fully functional,” he said. Kinkaid took office Jan. 8, which was the day after he See KINKAID on page 2

olorado State University recently released a study called “The Value Chain of Colorado’s Agriculture.” The study draws upon data collected through DATA SENSE the USDA Agriculture Census of 2002 and 2007, among other data sources. The study finds that agriculture contributes at least $40 billion to the state’s Kate Nowak economy and is one of the largest industry sectors. The study also maps the economic relationships among the various sectors of Colorado’s agricultural industry. The report highlights the importance of agriculture to Colorado and the Yampa Valley. Agricultural lands are important not only because of the beautiful vistas they provide but also because of the substantial local revenue that agriculture products generate. Total agriculture sales in Moffat County were $28 million as of 2007, according to the USDA Agriculture Census. The majority of that income came from small farms. According to the census, 72 percent of the ranches and farms in Moffat County are less than 1,000 acres and are considered midto small-size operations. These farms derive their See NOWAK on page 2 INSIDE ANNIE’S MAILBOX . . . 16 BUSINESS . . . . . . . . . 14 CLASSIFIEDS . . . . . . . 19 COMICS . . . . . . . . . 15 CROSSWORD . . . . . . 15 DATEBOOK . . . . . . . . 4

Nowak: Ag plays role in economy Kinkaid: Commissioner hopes he can inspire income from many different sources. One current trend in agriculture is sales of products that are produced for individuals to consume. According to the census data, the value of agriculture products sold to individuals increased 50 percent from $279,000 to $418,000. We expect these numbers to be even higher when the 2012 census figures are released next February. The census data also reveal that Northwest Colorado leads the state in farm-based recreation income. Farmbased recreation income is mainly derived from hunting and fishing. In Moffat

retired as a control room operator at Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association’s Craig Station. Although he was sworn into office in January, it wasn’t until April 19 that he stopped drinking and abusing prescription drugs. “I had a problem, and I took care of it,” Kinkaid said. “By taking care of myself, I’m also taking care of the residents of Moffat County.” His wife has been on an emotional roller coaster since he left for rehab. “He had to do it. Our life was not going to go on if he didn’t get help,” Paula Kinkaid said through tears Tuesday. “It was the hardest thing that we’ve ever done in our marriage. I love my husband. I wanted what was best for him and for us.” The couple has been married for 33 years and has three kids and one grandchild. Kinkaid is confident he made the right decision by gaining sobriety. “I believe with every fiber in my being that I made the right decision, and now I can look forward to the future,” he said. He understands the firestorm that might follow by going pub-

lic with such news, but he hopes that his fellow community members and his fellow commissioners will better understand his past behavior. “I’d like to say publicly thank you to Chuck and Tom,” Kinkaid said. Grobe declined to comment on the matter. Mathers said he still has faith in Kinkaid and is hopeful that he will bring more to the table post-treatment. “I’m tickled pink that he’s finally back,” Mathers said. “There’s a pretty good workload at the county. I think he can make a good commissioner. I told him that he really needed to get on board, because he got a late start here.” It took a lot of guts for Kinkaid to be open and honest about his situation, Mathers said. “I wish there were more politicians that would be as forthright and honest as John has been about this,” Mathers said. “You get tired of all the cover-ups. And now you get someone who finally tells the truth, even if it’s not a nice story.” Kinkaid said his drug and alcohol addiction started roughly two years ago when

IMPREZA

he first started taking Ambien, which is a prescribed sleeping aid to treat insomnia. “I started because of my shift work at the power plant,” he said. “I worked 12-hour rotating shifts.” To get good rest in between rotating hours, he started taking Ambien. Next, he began taking Xanax on a regular basis, which is used to treat anxiety. “Alcohol got into the mix, and that’s when things really started to go south,” Kinkaid said. Despite his addictions, he said “at no time was I under the influence at work.” He hopes that his story of recovery will inspire others. “If anybody in the community is struggling with alcohol or prescription drugs, maybe my story can be an encouragement to get help,” he said. Kinkaid knows that it’s not going to be an easy road ahead. “I would ask the community to have an open mind and to be observant and watch me,” Kinkaid said. “I realize it won’t be an overnight process.” Noelle Leavitt Riley can be reached at 970-875-1790 or nriley@CraigDailyPress.com.

County, recreation income jumped from $1.3 million to $4.4 million between 2002 and 2007. Moffat County’s share of farm-based recreation income ranked the highest in the state, at 13.7 percent. The CSU “Value Chain of Colorado Agriculture” report and the census data provide us with a look at “farm to fork” in Colorado and helps us understand the importance of agriculture to the Yampa Valley. As the numbers reveal, agriculture plays a role in sustaining the local economy and maintaining our way of life in the Yampa Valley.

Craig honors fallen vets on Memorial Day By NOELLE LEAVITT RILEY Daily Press Managing Editor

Craig — The crowd was silent as a group of United States war veterans read the names of Craig residents who lost their lives while fighting for their country. Nearly a hundred people attended the Memorial Day ceremony at Craig Cemetery on Monday, with their heads hung low and flowers in hand. Some even shed tears. “This means more than you can imagine,” said EJ Bunk, of Craig. “Forty-five years ago today, I was wounded in Vietnam. This is hitting me with a double whammy. I shouldn’t have made it through.” Tears fell from his eyes as he tried to explain the emotion he has tied to honoring those who fought and died beside him. “They’re our heroes, and they deserve the utmost respect,” Bunk said. He was 19 when he was wounded in the arm by shrapnel. Some of his friends didn’t make it through battle that day, which will forever scar his memory of warfare. Bunk is one of many who paid their respects at the cemetery, where a group of war veterans held flags and shot rifles to sig-

nify the end of the memorial service. “We’ve done our share for freedom. I just hope the next generation can,” said Gilbert Meats, who served in the U.S. Navy. Meats stood beside his fellow countrymen and proudly shot his rifle into the air to honor those who died in battle. Words such as honor, integrity, respect and freedom circulated the crowds as they talked about their brothers, fathers and grandfathers who fought and

died for the United States of America and for freedom. “We can’t forget for one minute what the people of our county in war gave up,” said Larry Nue, who served in the U.S. Army. “They gave up their lives, their family and everything else. We need to remember that.” Carol Douglas, from Asheville, N.C., was in Craig visiting with her family and honoring her stepdad, David Stoddard, a veteran who is buried at Craig Cemetery.

“I was very, very, very fond of my stepdad, and I’m glad to be here today,” she said. David Stoddard’s brother, Joseph Stoddard, is buried next to him. Children of all ages joined their parents and grandparents to learn, listen and watch how fallen comrades are remembered. Jeannie Gra, of Fruita, joined her family in Craig for the day of remembrance. She sat by the white gravestones with her granddaughter, Alyssa Fears, 2, watching her play with a miniature American flag. She said she thinks it’s important for kids to gain admiration for the country’s flag and its symbolism. “I want her to appreciate the flag,” she said. Hundreds of small and large American flags were placed between the white gravestones at the cemetery. Colorful flowers were at all of the gravesites. “I think it’s good for her to do the old tradition of honoring men who died,” Gra said. “It’s a way to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I heard all the names called, and Craig should be so proud of all their men.”

A charmed existence

2 prime ministers By CAL THOMAS Tribune Media Services

Following the hacking death of a British soldier by two alleged Islamic extremists, Prime Minister David Cameron said, “There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act.” Winston Churchill thought otherwise, but he lived in a time Cal Thomas before political correctness ran amok. In his 1899 book “The River War,” Churchill described what he witnessed in countries where Islam ruled: “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.” Churchill said only Christianity had sheltered Europe and were it not for that faith, “the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” Given the secular condition of modern Europe and the huge influx of radical Muslims, many of whom carry with them earthly agendas, which prime minister is more credible? One of the men arrested in London spoke of his motivation: “The only reason we have killed this man today is

because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.” What Westerners struggle to figure out is how to distinguish Islamists from moderate Muslims and how to recognize the true Islamist when they are taught to deceive us about their radical beliefs. A documentary released last fall, but largely ignored, might be a useful guide. It’s called “Jihad in America: The Grand Deception.” The film by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, (www.grand deception.com), exposes the tangled web of Islamic front groups in America that are backed by the radical Muslim Brotherhood. The documentary reveals how these groups have penetrated the highest levels of American government and culture. Zuhdi Jasser, who heads the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, says, “Their dream is the creation of an Islamic state ... their strategy in America is to use America’s freedom and liberties in order to achieve that dream.” The same might be said about Britain. Douglas Farah, former West Africa bureau chief for The Washington Post, says, “It doesn’t matter what we say about them. It matters tremendously what they say about themselves and to each other.” It was what they say about themselves and about their goals that is most revealing. In the film, the late Israr Ahmed, of the Islamic Society of North America, says: “I find there are only two things which are open to our movements: ballot or bullet, noth-

ing in between.” In “The Grand Deception,” Amir Abdel Malik Ali, of the Islamic Circle of North America, said, “Democracy does not equal freedom. No, we do not want to democratize Islam. We want (to) Islamize democracy.” Former FBI special agent Robert Stauffer headed an investigation in the 1980s of Muslim Brotherhood finances, according to the film’s narrator. Stauffer discovered that the Islamic Society of North America, another Muslim Brotherhood front located outside Plainfield, Ind., had received “millions and millions of dollars” through its North American Islamic Trust, which, he says, “served as a financial holding company for Muslim Brotherhood-related groups.” The money, he says, was wired into the United States from Islamic countries, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Egypt, Malaysia and Libya. Much of this was prior to Sept. 11, but given the existence and growth of Muslim student associations on American college campuses and other Muslim organizations, the money must still be available. The British and Americans can listen to politicians who aid and abet the advance of radical Islam, or they can heed the words of Sayyid Syeed, director of the Islamic Society of North America. Film footage shows Syeed speaking in Chicago in 2006. He said, “Our job is to change the Constitution of America.”

On Memorial Day we paid our respects to the more than 400 soldiers buried in our local cemetery who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. One of the veterans who participated in Monday’s ceremony shared a famous poem by a fellow Canadian written during World War I and read Lance Scranton by every young Canadian student at some point during their formative years in school. The world has changed greatly since 1915 and sometimes countries forget how important it is to remember how they have been given an advantage because of the sacrifice of others. Visiting home some years ago, a few in my family wondered out loud why I would want to become a citizen of a country full of war-mongering, self-important people too selfish to provide health care coverage for all their citizens but that allows anyone to own a gun. I responded: “If by warmongering you mean protecting the innocent and powerless from the abuses of dictators, if by self-important you mean a culture that rewards effort and risk-taking to get ahead, if by selfish you mean offering a young Canadian lad the opportunity to earn a college education using just his ability to play football — then guilty they are!” After Dad asked me to calm down, I continued: “You find it easy to cast judgment on a country for not providing something that you take for granted, but let me ask you how much you worry about Canada’s security and how much does Canada pay to keep a standing military force? It’s easy to forget that you enjoy quasi-socialism because of a protector south of your border. “As far as owning guns is concerned, it is an enshrined right of a republic to afford certain rights that are inalienable, and guns are just one of the constitutional guarantees that restrain governments from exercising undue authority and forcing its citizens to register every firearm and apply for a permit to buy bullets as you do in Canada.” Canada is known as our peaceful, gentle brother to the north, and I use every opportunity I can to help my family remember why they get to live such a charmed existence. Thank you, veterans!

State high court upholds funding THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado’s school funding system is constitutional, siding with the state in a landmark lawsuit filed by parents and school districts challenging the way schools are funded. The 4-2 ruling affirmed the state’s argument that it has made funding a priority and that school finance should be left to lawmakers to decide, not the courts. The 67 plaintiffs — including parents, students and 21 school districts — argued the state’s funding formula is irrational and leaves poorer students disadvantaged. Writing for the majority, Justice Nancy Rice concluded the constitution “does not demand absolute equality in the state’s provision of education services, supplies or expenditures.” Later in the ruling, the justices wrote that while some schools may need more funding, the state framework for funding

education isn’t to blame. “While we sympathize with the plaintiffs and recognize that the public school financing system might not provide an optimal amount of money to the public schools, the statutory public school financing system itself is constitutional,” the justices concluded. A district judge ruled last year the educational funding system is inadequate and that no district is sufficiently funded. Attorneys for the plaintiffs listed several examples of schools they said are in need of funding, like a school building in Sanford, in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, that until recently had a partially collapsed and leaking roof and inadequate lighting. Other schools had globes where the Soviet Union still existed, and books where Bill Clinton was still president, the attorneys said. State officials, including Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, argued school funding already makes up nearly half the general fund budget. They said the state

can’t afford more without cutting other services and departments. Asked about the ruling Tuesday, Hickenlooper praised the decision but added that schools are indeed underfunded. Last week, he signed into law a school-funding overhaul that counts on voters approving some $1 billion a year in new taxes. “That we are in compliance with the requirements of the constitution doesn’t necessarily say that we have sufficient financing in education right now,” Hickenlooper said. “I think most people would agree we are underfunded in education.” Republican state Rep. Carole Murray of Castle Rock said lawmakers are already looking for ways to improve school quality. “But we must balance this need with our other funding obligations,” Murray said in a statement. Although plaintiffs did not ask for a monetary amount in the lawsuit, they have estimated state schools are underfunded by $4 billion. That’s about half the entire general fund budget.

Colorado marijuana regulations signed into law THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — A set of laws to govern how recreational marijuana should be grown, sold and taxed was signed into law Tuesday in Colorado, where Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper called the measures the state’s best attempt to navigate the uncharted territory of legalized recreational pot. The laws cover how the drug should be raised and packaged, with purchasing limits for out-ofstate visitors and a marijuana driving limit as an analogy to blood alcohol levels. Hickenlooper didn’t support marijuana legalization last year, but he praised the regulatory package as a good first crack at safely overseeing the drug. “Recreational marijuana is really a completely new entity,” Hickenlooper said, calling the pot rules “commonsense” oversight, such as required potency labeling and a requirement that marijuana is to be sold in child-proof opaque packing with labels clearly stating the drug may not be safe. Colorado voters approved recreational marijuana as a constitutional amendment last year. The state allows adults 21 and older to possess as much as an ounce of the drug. Adults can grow as many as six plants or buy pot in retail stores, which are slated to open in January. The governor said Tuesday that he thinks the federal government will soon respond to the fact that Colorado and Washington state are in violation of federal drug law. But

Hickenlooper didn’t have a specific idea of when. “We think that it will be relatively soon. We are optimistic that they are going to be a little more specific in their approach on this issue,” Hickenlooper said. Pressed for details, the governor jokingly referred to unrelated scandals surrounding the U.S. Department of Justice. “They’ve been kind of busy,” Hickenlooper said. Colorado’s new marijuana laws include buying limits for out-ofstate visitors. Visitors 21 and older would be limited to one-fourth of an ounce in a single retail transaction, though they could legally possess the full ounce. Colorado laws attempt to curb public use of marijuana by banning its sale in places that sell food and drink that aren’t infused with the drug, an attempt to prevent Amsterdam-style pot cafes. Food laced with the drug also would have to be to-go orders. Colorado’s laws also include a first-in-the-nation requirement that marijuana magazines such as High Times be kept behind the counter in stores that allow people younger than 21. That provision has prompted promises by attorneys representing at least two publications to challenge the restriction, which would treat pot magazines similar to pornography. Besides the magazine restriction, Colorado’s laws differ in several more ways from proposed marijuana regulations pending in Washington state. Colorado makes no attempt to ban concentrated marijuana, or hashish,

unlike Washington. Colorado also has different possession limits on edible marijuana. Colorado also is planning a brief grandfather period during which only current medical marijuana business owners could sell recreational pot.

Gun control supporters facing recall bids in Colorado By KRISTEN WYATT The Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS — A Democratic campaign office here usually would be quiet this time of year, a few weeks after the state’s Legislature wrapped up work and lawmakers headed off to summer vacations. But even though it’s not an election year, the office is in full campaign mode, with volunteers working the phones and reviewing maps in anticipation of a new front of modern campaigning — the recall phase. A few Democratic state lawmakers in Colorado face recall petition efforts in what looks to be the first

wave of fallout about legislative votes to limit gun rights. In an era in which recall efforts are booming, from governor’s offices down to town councils and school boards, the state efforts will serve as the first test of gun-rights groups’ ability to punish elected officials who expanded gun control laws after last year’s Aurora and Newtown, Conn., shooting massacres. In Colorado, gun-rights activists wasted no time seeking recalls to oust state Senate President John Morse and three other Democratic lawmakers. The targeted lawmakers weren’t necessarily the main advocates for ratcheting back gun rights, but all come from districts with

enough Republicans to give opponents hope they can boot out the Democrats and replace them with lawmakers friendlier to guns. Colorado is the only state outside the East Coast to have adopted significant statewide gun controls this year. “Colorado seems to be the testing ground for some of the gun measures, so this has national implications,” said Victor Head, a plumber from Pueblo who is organizing a recall attempt against a Democratic senator. Two of four recall efforts in Colorado already have evaporated from lack of support. But in Colorado Springs, Morse opponents are piling up signatures in

gun shops and outside libraries and grocery stores. The National Rifle Association sent a political mailer saying it was coordinating the recall effort with local groups, though the local recall petitioners have denied that. The NRA did not return calls for comment on their involvement in the Colorado Springs effort. Morse has mounted a campaign to urge voters not to sign petitions. In an indication of the national stakes, that push is largely funded by a $20,000 contribution from a national progressive group called America Votes. The Morse campaign said the donation came through the group’s local office. The recall group’s main fund-

ing comes from a $14,000 contribution from a nonprofit run by a local conservative consultant, Laura Carno. She said that contribution was made possible by some out-of-state donors. “People in other states that are further down this road, like New York and Massachusetts, are calling up and saying ‘What can we do to help?”’ Carno said. “This isn’t what Colorado stands for.” In an interview, Morse seemed resigned to facing a recall vote after signatures are verified. He believes national gun-rights supporters are using his district to make a national statement about the political peril officials face if they take on gun control.

Saudi national denied parole from prison for sexual assault conviction By P. SOLOMON BANDA The Associated Press

DENVER — A Saudi national serving up to life in prison in Colorado on a sexual assault conviction was denied parole

Tuesday. Homaidan al-Turki’s won’t be eligible for another parole hearing until 2015, Colorado State Board of Parole Chairman Anthony Young ruled.

Colorado Owned and Operated Since 1986

Al-Turki is serving a sentence of eight years to life following his conviction in 2006 of assaulting a housekeeper and keeping her as a virtual slave. Former Colorado Department of Corrections Director Tom Clements denied al-Turki’s request to be sent to Saudi Arabia to serve the remainder of his sentence a week before a gunman shot and killed Clements at his Monument home. Al-Turki’s attorneys have filed a lawsuit claiming that Colorado officials leaked word that one theory in the investigation of Clements’ killing was related to the transfer denial. Colorado officials have linked Clements’ slaying to parolee Evan Ebel, a member of a white supremacist gang, but have said they continue to investigate whether others were involved. Investigators had dozens of leads following

Clements’ slaying. Al-Turki maintained his innocence during his 2006 trial, saying the charges stem from anti-Muslim sentiment following the 9/11 attacks. Al-Turki also said he has declined to participate in treatment because it conflicts with his Islamic faith. Ann Tomsic, who prosecuted al-Turki in 2006, called al-Turki’s refusal to undergo treatment because of his faith a “cop out” and said treatment was the most important aspect of his sentence. The parole board “must emphasize that if he’s not making progress toward treatment, he’s not getting out,” Tomsic argued. When pointedly asked by Young during Tuesday’s hearing why he hasn’t participated in sexual offender rehabilitation programs, al-Turki answered: “I have to incriminate myself in

order to be admitted to this program.” Al-Turki said he would undergo treatment in Saudi Arabia if he were released from prison and allowed to return to his home country. When Young asked him why he would undergo treatment in Saudi Arabia but not in Colorado, al-Turki refused to discuss specifics of his case, citing advice from his attorneys and pending litigation, and instead emphasized his clean record while in prison. Al-Turki works as a paraprofessional in a prerelease program at Limon Correctional Facility. “You are a good inmate but you are a bad citizen in our community. You’re expected to participate in sex offender treatment. Our expectations are very clear,” Young told al-Turki, urging him to him to participate in sexual offender treatment.

Future of the Colorado River is on agenda in San Diego By KEN RITTER

The Associated Press

Top water decision-makers from seven Western states plan to join conservation groups and Indian tribes in San Diego on Tuesday to begin hammering out rules for squeezing every useable drop from the overtaxed Colorado River. The work meeting hosted by federal water managers comes amid dire predictions for the waterway. The U.S. interior secretary five months ago issued a call to arms and declared that the river already described as the most plumbed and regulated in the world would be unable to meet demands of a growing regional population during the next 50 years. “We’re looking at a very significant chance of declaring a shortage in the Colorado River basin in 2016,” Michael Connor, commissioner of the Bureau of

Reclamation, said in an interview in advance of the conference. “We really need to get to specifics, technical liabilities and the political feasibility of projects,” he said. Connor heads the federal agency responsible for what he called the most litigated and foughtover resource in the country. He said data projects 2013 will be the fourth-driest year in the Colorado River basin during the past 100 years. Last year was the fifth-driest year on record. The river provides drinking water, power and recreation for some 40 million people in California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming. Its largest reservoirs — Lake Mead near Las Vegas and Lake Powell near Page, Ariz. — are projected to drop to 45 percent capacity by September, Connor said.

Economic gains boost US Obama and Christie praise response to storm confidence to 5-year high By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Home prices are surging, job growth is strengthening and stocks are setting record highs. All of which explains why Americans are more hopeful about the economy than at any other point in five years. Investors on Tuesday celebrated the latest buoyant reports on consumer confidence and housing prices, which together suggest that growth could accelerate in the second half of 2013. Greater confidence could spur people to spend more and help offset tax increases and federal spending cuts. And the fastest rise in home prices in seven years might lead more Americans to put houses on the market, easing supply shortages that have kept the housing recovery from taking off. Tuesday’s report from the Conference Board, a private research group, showed that consumer confidence jumped in May to a reading of 76.2, up from 69 in April. That’s the highest level since February 2008, two months after the Great Recession officially began. A separate report showed that U.S. home prices jumped nearly 11 percent in March

compared with a year ago, the sharpest 12-month increase since April 2006. Prices rose year over year in all 20 cities in the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index. The economic news helped send the Dow Jones industrial average up 106 points to close at a record. The Dow has rocketed nearly 18 percent this year. And the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index is on track for its seventh straight monthly gain, the longest winning streak since 2009. Surging stock prices and steady home-price increases have allowed Americans to regain the $16 trillion in wealth they lost to the Great Recession. Higher wealth tends to embolden people to spend more. Some economists have said the increase in home prices alone could boost consumer spending enough to offset a Social Security tax increase that has reduced paychecks for most Americans this year. The Conference Board survey said consumers are also more optimistic about the next six months. That should translate into greater consumer spending, substantial growth in hiring and faster economic growth in the second half of 2013, said Thomas Feltmate, an economist with TD Economics.

ASBURY PARK, N.J. — President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie promoted the Jersey Shore’s summer tourism economy Tuesday while praising the federal government’s role in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, reprising their beachbuddy routine in a display of mutual assistance with potential political dividends. Despite a steady drizzle, the Democratic president and the Republican governor tried their hand at arcade football, and the president declared that the state’s popular shore was back seven months after the devastating storm bore down on its famed boardwalks and seaside towns. “You are stronger than the

storm,” Obama said, borrowing a line that Christie himself uses in a federally funded advertising campaign touting Jersey Shore tourism. “After all you’ve dealt with, after all you’ve been through, the Jersey Shore is back and it is open for business.” After the rapport both men established in the wake of the October storm, Tuesday’s joint tour from Point Pleasant Beach to Asbury Park held opportunities for both. Obama, eager to put a competent face on the federal government after the troubles facing the Internal Revenue Service, used the visit to praise the response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For Christie, it was a chance to showcase the state’s cherished beaches and draw attention to a

$40 billion industry in the state. Republicans criticized Christie last year for praising Obama’s response to the storm in the days before the presidential election and for allowing himself to be seen prominently with the president. The storm not only took media attention away from Republican challenger Mitt Romney, it allowed Obama to strike an executive posture in the campaign’s final days. This time, the imagery is less powerful but equally convenient. Christie, who flew with Obama aboard his Marine One helicopter, is running for re-election in a Democratic-leaning state, and Obama gets to be seen with a high-visibility Republican at a time that such bipartisanship is rare in Washington.

Moms now top earners in 4 in 10 households By HOPE YEN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A record number of American women now are the sole or primary breadwinners in their families, a sign of the rising influence of working mothers, a new study finds. Mothers now keep finances afloat in 40 percent of households with children, up from just 11 percent in 1960. While most of these families are headed by single mothers, a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands,

according to a study released today by the Pew Research Center. As the numbers have shifted, however, public attitudes have remained mixed regarding the impact of working mothers on families. People are not at all sure that it’s a good thing. Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added attention to childcare policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families. “This change is just another milestone in the dramatic trans-

formation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “Women’s roles have changed, marriage rates have declined — the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner moms highlights the fact that, not only are more mothers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions mothers are making to their households have grown immensely.”

BEIRUT — Russia on Tuesday harshly criticized Europe’s decision to allow the arming of Syrian rebels, saying it undercuts international efforts to negotiate an end to the civil war, and a rebel general said he’s “very disappointed” weapons won’t come fast enough to help opposition fighters defend a strategic Syrian town. The European Union decision, coupled with Russia’s renewed pledge to supply Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime with advanced missiles, could transform an already brutal civil war into an East-West proxy fight. Israel, meanwhile, threatened to strike such air defense missiles systems if delivered to Syria, portraying them as a threat to the Jewish state and

raising the risk of regional conflagration. The possibility of an arms race in Syria overshadowed attempts by the U.S. and Russia to bring representatives of the Assad regime and Syria’s political opposition to peace talks at an international conference in Geneva, possibly next month. The talks, though seen as a long shot, constitute the international community’s only plan for ending the conflict that began more than two years ago and has killed more than 70,000 people. In Syria, the commander of the main Western-backed umbrella group of rebel brigades told The Associated Press he urgently needs Western anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to prevent further regime gains on the battlefield. The rebels’ weapons are

no match for the Syrian regime’s modern tanks and warplanes, he said. “We are very disappointed,” Gen. Salim Idris, military chief of the Free Syrian Army, said of the European Union’s apparent decision not to send weapons, if at all, until after the Geneva conference. “We don’t have any patience (any) more.” In any case, Europe might think twice about sending such weapons into a chaotic war zone where they could quickly be seized by Islamic militant rebels, some of whom have pledged allegiance to the al-Qaida terror network. Britain, which along with France had pushed for ending the EU arms embargo, wants to use the threat of arming the rebels as leverage to ensure that Assad negotiates in good faith.

BEIJING — A newborn’s cries from a public restroom in a residential building in eastern China led a tenant to a startling discovery: a baby boy trapped in a sewage pipe beneath a squat toilet. Firefighters, unable to pull the baby out, ended up sawing away an L-shaped section of the pipe and carrying it to a hospital, where it was delicately pried apart to save the infant. Video of the two-hour rescue of Baby No. 59 — so named because of his incubator number in the hospital in the Pujiang area of the city of Jinhua — was shown on Chinese news programs and

websites late Monday and Tuesday. The baby, who weighed 2.8 kilograms (6 pounds, 2.8 ounces), had a low heart rate and some minor abrasions on his head and limbs, but was mostly unhurt, according to Zhejiang Online, the province’s official news site. The placenta still was attached. It was unclear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide. The Pujiang county police bureau said on its official microblog account that the boy’s mother has been located and that an investigation was underway, but it gave

no further details. In the video, officials were shown removing the pipe from a ceiling that apparently was just below the restroom and then, at the hospital, using pliers and saws to gently pull apart the pipe, which was about 3 inches in diameter. News of the baby’s ordeal was met with horror and pity by bloggers on Chinese sites. Most speculated that the child had been dumped by his parents down the toilet. The rescue prompted an outpouring from strangers who came to the hospital with diapers, baby clothes, powdered milk and offers to adopt him.

7 charged in money laundering case By TOM HAYS and RAPHAEL SATTER The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Calling it perhaps the biggest money laundering scheme in U.S. history, federal prosecutors charged seven people Tuesday with running what amounted to an online, underworld bank that handled $6 billion for drug dealers, child pornographers, identity thieves and other criminals around the globe. The case was aimed at Liberty Reserve, a currency transfer and payment processing company based in Costa Rica that authorities say allowed customers to move money anonymously from one account to another via the Internet with almost no questions asked. U.S. officials said the enterprise was staggering in scope: During roughly seven years, Liberty Reserve processed 55 million illicit transactions worldwide for 1 million users, including 200,000 in the U.S.

The network “became the bank of choice for the criminal underworld,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in announcing the unsealing of an indictment against the defendants, including Liberty Revenue founder Arthur Budovsky, an American who renounced his U.S. citizenship after deciding to set up in Costa Rica. Liberty Reserve allowed users to open accounts using fictitious names, including “Russian Hacker” and “Hacker Account.” An undercover investigator was able to register using the name “Joe Bogus” and the address “123 Fake Main Street” in “Completely Made Up City, New York.” “The coin of the realm was anonymity,” Bharara said. “It was the opposite of a know-yourcustomer policy.” The network charged a 1 percent fee on transactions through middlemen known as exchangers, who converted real currency into virtual funds and then back into cash.

Patrick Roy introduced as coach of Avalanche

Page 11

Rec leagues ready to play ball

By PAT GRAHAM The Associated Press

DENVER — Patrick Roy carefully contemplated the Colorado Avalanche’s sales pitch as he sank putts on a golf course in Florida. New team President Josh Kroenke was in his group, along with former teammate-turnedexecutive Joe Sakic, and they were teeing up an opportunity Roy simply couldn’t turn down. Not again. Four years ago, the team asked him to come on board as coach. The Hall of Fame goalie just wasn’t ready. This time around, the deal was sweetened — a chance to coach and have a say in hockey-related decisions. He couldn’t pass up this chance, agreeing last week to a four-year deal with a mutual option for a fifth season. “I was afraid in 2009, that maybe I missed one of best opportunities of my life,” Roy said at his introductory news conference Tuesday. “Here I am in 2013, same opportunity. I truly feel that sometimes, the biggest mistake we’re making as a coach is you want to go too fast.” The fiery goaltender has mellowed since his retirement a decade ago. Well, as much as he can anyway. Roy has been serving as coach and general manager for the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League during the last eight seasons, which he feels has prepared him for taking over as a first-year NHL coach. But there’s this hanging over his head: The stigma that great players don’t make great coaches. “I’m not nervous about that,” said Roy, who won the Memorial Cup title with the Remparts in 2006. “To be honest with you, I checked one interesting stat: 100 percent of the coaches who are coaching now in the NHL were rookies at one time in their careers. “My No. 1 quality is that I’m not afraid to put in the time.” He has plenty of help, too, as the 47-year-old Roy joins forces with Sakic to fix a squad that’s missed the playoffs three straight seasons.

Rockies top Astros, Cuddyer hits RBI single By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press

HOUSTON — Michael Cuddyer is still recovering from being plunked in the right forearm a couple of days ago, which makes doing many things uncomfortable. Luckily for the Colorado Rockies, swinging hardly hurts him at all. Cuddyer had three hits, including an RBI single in the ninth inning that gave Colorado a 2-1 win against the Houston Astros in interleague play Tuesday. “It’s sore. There’s no question it’s sore and swollen,” Cuddyer said. “But fortunately the way I got hit, the one thing that really doesn’t bother me is swinging. Pretty much everything else, it doesn’t feel great but swinging I don’t really feel it all that much. I got really lucky in that sense.” Troy Tulowitzki doubled off Houston closer Jose Veras (0-4) to start the ninth and advanced

to third on a wild pitch. Cuddyer followed with his single, which sailed just out of reach of leaping third baseman Matt Dominguez. “It doesn’t surprise me with Cuddy,” manager Walt Weiss said. “He’s always looking to answer the bell. He’s a great pro. Twenty-four hours ago I wasn’t sure that he’d be playing this early, but he’s going to find a way to get in the lineup.” Tulowitzki had an RBI single in the first. Chris Carter tied it in the fourth with an RBI grounder. Colorado starter Jorge De La Rosa scattered five hits with one run during seven innings. He had won his previous four starts and finished the month, 4-0, with a 2.08 ERA. Matt Belisle (2-2) threw a perfect eighth for the win. Closer Rafael Betancourt struck out two in the ninth for his 11th save. Houston starter Jordan Lyles yielded six hits and one run in a season-long seven innings. Wesley Wright took over and struck out

two in a scoreless eighth before he was replaced by Veras. Manager Bo Porter was impressed with the work of his 22-year-old pitcher. “Jordan Lyles — today is what you would call graduation,” Porter said. “I think he’s learned from his time last year. I think he’s learned from early on this year, and he was able to make quality pitches to get himself out of some tough jams and got the big strikeout when he needed it.” The Rockies won late a day after Houston got a 3-2 victory in 12 innings. “The bottom line is we found a way to win a game and that’s huge,” Weiss said. “You’ve got to find ways to win those tight games. We’ve been in a lot of tight games, we’ve been kicked in the stomach a few times because sometimes that’s the reward you get for competing well and being in a lot of tight games. You’re going to lose some of those games. It was nice to find a way

to win today.” Dexter Fowler drew a walk to start the game and advanced to third on a single by Nolan Arenado. A one-out single by Tulowitzki put Colorado ahead. Fowler walked again to begin the third. Arenado reached on a forceout and eventually reached third, but was caught at the plate when shortstop Ronny Cedeno made a nice catch on Tulowitzki’s fly and threw home. “That’s a great play. Not only the catch but the wherewithal to get rid of the ball at the speed at which he got rid of the ball and the accuracy of the throw,” Porter said. “So, if that’s in the Olympics you’re judging it a 10.” The Rockies had another chance to add onto their lead in the fourth when they loaded the bases with no outs. But Colorado came up empty when Lyles struck out Yorvit Torrealba and DJ LeMahieu grounded into a double play to end the inning.

After rain delay, Djokovic starts French bid Nike severing ties with Armstrong’s Livestrong By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

PARIS — Novak Djokovic spent the better part of a rainy Tuesday at the French Open wondering when — and even whether — he would wind up playing his first-round match at the only Grand Slam tournament he’s yet to win. Unlike Wimbledon and the Australian Open, Roland Garros does not have a roof at any court. Unlike the U.S. Open, though, at least there is a definitive timeline to build one. Djokovic is thrilled about that forthcoming addition in Paris, even if it won’t come until 2018. He also can’t wait for them to install artificial lights at the French Open, which is supposed to happen sooner. Both of those improvements would have contributed to a more stress-free evening for the man ranked and seeded No. 1, who slipped and slid his way along the red clay to

a 7-6 (5), 6-4, 7-5 victory against David Goffin in the first round. “It was a difficult day, because we have been waiting for hours and hours. I think I warmed up five or six times today,” Djokovic said. “In these conditions you need to adjust your game and tactics, because it’s quite different than comparing to the conditions when it’s dry and sunny.” Even though his match against the 58th-ranked Goffin, a Belgian who was one of the revelations at Roland Garros a year ago, was the second to be played on Court Philippe Chatrier, they did not begin until after 6:30 p.m. They finished as light was fading shortly before 9 p.m. “It was a long day,” Djokovic said. At least he got to play. Because of showers that began in the morning, there was a delay of more than 2 1/2 hours at the start. Then, after only 1 1/2 hours of action, arrived another stop of more than an

hour. All told, only 26 of 40 scheduled singles matches were completed, three were suspended in progress and organizers wound up postponing 11 others entirely. That means players such as Victoria Azarenka, the reigning Australian Open champion, will be slated for first-round action Wednesday, the fourth day of the tournament. That sets up a situation where Azarenka, for example, would need to win seven matches across 11 days to take home the trophy, while 2002 champion Serena Williams — who got to begin the tournament Sunday and is supposed to play in the second round Wednesday — would have her seven matches spread over 14 days if she goes the distance. Among the winners Tuesday were 2010 French Open runnerup and 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur, who beat 42-yearold Kimiko Date-Krumm, of Japan, 6-0, 6-2.

AUSTIN, Texas — With Nike’s help, Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong cancer charity turned a little yellow wristband into a global symbol for cancer survivors. Celebrities and rock stars sported them on stage. Politicians wore them on the campaign trail and in the White House. And with Armstrong dominating the Tour de France, the trendy little pieces of plastic helped Livestrong pump millions of dollars in cancer survivor programs and spawned countless imitations. But that partnership, which started in 2004, soon will end. Livestrong announced Tuesday that the shoe and apparel company is cutting ties with the charity in the latest fallout from the former cyclist’s doping scandal. Nike said it will stop making its Livestrong line of apparel after the 2013 holiday season. Foundation and company officials said Nike will honor the financial terms of its contract until the deal expires in 2014. Those terms were not disclosed, but the loss of revenue could have a huge financial impact on the charity. The partnership with Nike generated more than $100 million of the roughly $500 million raised by Livestrong since it was founded in 1997. “While 2013 will be tougher than past years, the Livestrong Foundation views it as a rebuilding year in which it charts a strong, independent course,” the charity said in a statement. Experts were divided whether

Nike’s withdrawal would cripple the charity. “It’s very damaging. It’s a significant signal to the market place that if your largest supporter says ‘I’m going to check out,’ it’s something that is likely to continue to spiral,” said Kelly O’Keefe, professor of brand strategy at the Virginia Commonwealth University Brandcenter. Leslie Lenkowsky, of Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs, said Livestrong can survive because it has a solid organization that established a distinct identity among cancer-fighting groups. “Losing Nike’s sponsorship by no means signals the end of Livestrong,” Lenkowsky said. The charity insisted it remains on solid financial ground. “This news will prompt some to jump to negative conclusions about the foundation’s future. We see things quite differently. We expected and planned for changes like this and are therefore in a good position to adjust swiftly and move forward with our patient-focused work,” the foundation said. The organization reduced its budget nearly 11 percent in 2013 to $38.4 million, but said Tuesday that revenue is already 2.5 percent ahead of projections. The foundation also noted that last month, it received a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, which evaluates charities based on financial health, accountability and transparency.

Avs: Roy has Stanley Cup attitude from Page 11

Roy and Sakic worked well on the ice, helping the Avs to Stanley Cup titles in 1996 and 2001, and think it will carry over to the front office. “We have different personalities — I’m more laid back and he’s more fiery — but at the end of the day, we’ve always agreed on the same things,” Sakic said. “When it came to hockey, we were always on the same page.” Roy couldn’t agree more. “I’m extremely proud Joe and Josh gave me the opportunity to be part of that new era,” said Roy, who wouldn’t reveal the winner of their golf match. “That’s the way I’m looking at it. Joe and I had an opportunity to be part of something really special in the past. I think we’re going to also be part of something special in the future. “We might not win the Stanley Cup next year. But we’re going to have a Stanley Cup attitude.”

Some of Roy’s players showed up for the festivities, with captain Gabriel Landeskog, forward Paul Stastny and goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere sitting in the front row. Growing up, Giguere was a big fan of Roy, pretty much becoming a goalie because of him. “What I admired most was his winning attitude and self-confidence,” Giguere said. “He could speak up in the papers and back it up the next day. That’s extremely hard to do. He knew he was going to win. He knew he was the best player. That’s something that I always admire of him, something I always try to do somewhat, not to his level but my level.” There’s an awe factor with Landeskog, too. This was Roy stepping in, one of the winningest goaltenders of all time. “It’s obviously a little different shaking hands with a Hall of Famer. That doesn’t happen every day,” Landeskog said. “We have to realize he’s here to get our best, here for the team’s best.”

Indiana gets even with Miami LA Kings advance, edging Pacers tie series after 99-92 victory against Heat in Game 4 Paul George’s three-point play and erased the Miami lead by closing the game on a 16-6 run. Indiana was in desperation mode — and it showed. Bodies crashed to the ground all night. An angry George uncharacteristically smacked the floor after being called for a foul in the third quarter, leading to a technical foul on coach Frank Vogel. And the defense did a far better job against James and his highscoring teammates. James finished 8 of 18 from the field. But the Pacers did not get rattled. Instead, they answered every challenge Miami posed as they had in the first two games of this series. When Miami used a 9-0 run to take a 60-54 lead early in the third quarter, Indiana answered immediately with a 10-0 run to regain the lead. When James committed an offensive foul with 2 seconds left in the third quarter, his first turnover since the end of Game 2, the Pacers got a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Stephenson to make it 77-70.

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Roy Hibbert had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Lance Stephenson added 20 points and the Indiana Pacers charged back late to beat the Miami Heat, 99-92, on Tuesday night and tie the Eastern Conference finals at 2-2. LeBron James led the Heat with 24 points before fouling out with 56 seconds to go. Mario Chalmers had 20 points on a night the defending NBA champs failed to take command of the series. The Heat will host Game 5 on Thursday. “We’re not going anywhere. We’re going back down to Miami to go out there and fight again,” Hibbert said. The Pacers started fast and spent the rest of the night trying to fend off Miami’s continual comebacks. But with Indiana leading, 81-72, early in the fourth, Miami answered with a 14-2 run that gave the Heat an 86-83 lead. Indiana tied the score on

Even as the Heat rallied in the fourth, charging back from an 81-72 deficit to take an 86-83 lead, the Pacers answered. George tied the score on a three-point play on which James committed his fourth foul. Ray Allen broke the tie with a 3 from the left wing, but after corralling rebound after rebound, Indiana went on a 7-0 run to retake the lead and Miami never tied it again. This was not the same Miami team that dominated Indiana in Game 3. Nor was it the same Pacers defense that got overrun by James and his teammates two nights earlier. Miami struggled to score early, Dwyane Wade was limping noticeably in the first half and forward Chris Bosh hurt his right knee in the first half and his right ankle in the second. The Big Three combined to go just 14 of 39 from the field. Indiana, meanwhile, reverted to its more traditional style. The Pacers had a 49-30 rebounding advantage and outscored Miami in the paint, 50-32.

Sharks, 2-1, in Game 7 By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Justin Williams scored two goals in the second period, and the Los Angeles Kings advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 2-1 victory against the San Jose Sharks in Game 7 on Tuesday night. Jonathan Quick made 25 saves as the defending Stanley Cup champions finished off this agonizingly even series with their 14th consecutive home victory in the past two months, including seven straight in the postseason. The home team won all seven games in this thrilling all-California series, and the fifthseeded Kings barely rode their home-ice advantage to victory in their first potential elimination game in the past two years. Antti Niemi stopped 16 shots, and Dan Boyle scored early in the third period for the Sharks, who fell just short of their third trip to the conference finals in four years. The Kings will face Chicago or Detroit when they attempt to reach the Stanley Cup finals for the third time. The Blackhawks

host the Red Wings in Game 7 tonight. Los Angeles has won eight straight home playoff games dating to last season’s Stanley Cup clincher, but this one might have been the toughest. San Jose pressed the action throughout the third period after Williams’ back-to-back goals put the Sharks in a mid-game hole, but Quick and the Kings’ defense hung on for a win in Los Angeles’ first Game 7 at home since 1989. Williams scored on a powerplay tap-in and a one-timer 2:57 apart early in the second, putting the Kings on top to stay. The veteran wing had an eightgame, goal-scoring drought, but the two-time Stanley Cup winner has a knack for Game 7 heroics, scoring nine points in his four career appearances in the decisive game. Quick and Los Angeles’ defense barely held off the Sharks in a frantic third period. Quick showed off his Conn Smythe Trophy form yet again, finishing the seven-game series by allowing just 10 goals.

Stocks jump after consumer confidence, house prices surge By STEVE ROTHWELL The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A rally that brought the stock market to record highs this year came back to life after consumer confidence reached a five-year high and U.S. home prices rose the most in seven years. As stock prices rose investors sold bonds, sending interest rates higher. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 106 points to close at another record Tuesday, bouncing back from a loss the week before. The Standard & Poor’s S&P 500 1,660.06

Fix on footwear Wall Street expects DSW’s earnings and revenue declined in the February-April quarter versus the same period last year. The discount shoe retailer said in March that it assumed revenue in stores open at least a year would be flat in the first half of 2013. That followed softer sales in the first six weeks of the year. Will its latest financial results, due out today, signal more of the same?

500 index also gained. The S&P is on track for its seventh straight monthly increase, the longest winning streak since 2009. “They say the stock market tends to lead the economy. Now we’re starting to see the improvement on the economic front, so there’s some justification for this rally,” said Ryan Detrick, a senior technical strategist at Schaeffer’s investment research. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 2.17 percent, its highest level since April 2012, as investors moved money out of safe assets and

The Mortgage Bankers Association reports its latest weekly survey of home mortgage applications today. While mortgage interest rates have been rising in recent weeks, they remain near historic lows. Still, banks have been receiving fewer requests for home loans. The mortgage bankers’ survey reported a 7 percent jump in residential mortgage applications for the week ended May 3, but that was followed by two weekly declines.

Movado Group’s latest quarterly earnings should provide insight into its efforts to retool its Coach watch brand. Movado, which reports financial results for the February-April period today, took steps in the previous quarter to reposition the Coach brand, which is mostly known for handbags, as a provider of fashion watches. That’s a segment of the market that Movado expects will grow.

who see a bleak outlook for the bond market. While inflation is currently low, it will likely start to rise within one or two years if the economy continues to improve, Courtney said. Higher inflation prompts investors to demand higher yields, pushing down bond prices and inflicting losses on bond investors. “The only way that bonds can make money from here is if we go a prolonged period of time with very, very low inflation and rates just don’t move up a whole lot at all,” said Courtney. “Under any other scenario they lose.”

The stock market is coming off a rare loss last week, when both the Dow and the S&P 500 index had their first losing weeks in a month. Investors worried that the Federal Reserve might slow its extraordinary economic stimulus measures, which have also supported the stock market’s advance. The gains were broad.

Horoscope GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Go out of your way to associate with friends who always stimulate your thinking. An active conversation with such types might stir up several useful ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your thinking will be unusually sharp in a work-related matter. Your colleagues are likely to be impressed by some of your ingenious tactics. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you have a good idea regarding a way to improve a sluggish relationship, put it in action. Anything is worth a try to reinvigorate this valuable connection. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Substantial progress in the workplace can be made through innovative thinking on your part. Don’t be reluctant to take a chance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you take the time to talk to a casual acquaintance, you’ll discover that you share many interests. This could be the start of a close friendship. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There is a strong chance that unusual circumstances will lead to a peculiar opportunity. There’s something to gain, but you’ll have to act with all due haste.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — As it often does, the race will go to the swift today, so it behooves you to be both a selfstarter and a go-getter. Take the lead. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — The chances of some financial gain are much better than you may realize. However, you must be able to recognize opportunity and work hard to capitalize on it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Even though it might be a workday for you, if you can take some time off to participate in an activity with friends, try to do so. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Finally, accelerated progress is likely to occur in an endeavor that has been slow to move. You might even be able to make up for lost time.

Husband feels rejected by wife Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 34 years. I changed jobs so I could have better hours and pay and more time with my wife and son. Eighteen months ago, Annie’s I went on disMailbox ability due to severe arthritis. A few years back, I noticed that my wife was coming up with reasons for us not to have sex. She said my work hours kept her up too late, and then she Kathy and Marcy played Internet games all night. A year ago, her father died, and she claims she has to stay with Mom five nights a week. In the past eight months, we’ve had sex twice. I never forget an occasion and bought her lovely gifts for Valentine’s Day, her birthday and our anniversary. She got me nothing. She could have asked her brother to stay with Mom, but didn’t. I spent my birthday alone, without even a phone call. I spent our

anniversary watching her play Internet games, and when we finally got into bed, she pushed me away, telling me to leave her alone. Annie, I am afraid I am going to die alone and in pain. I am looking at a bottle of pills, wondering whether I should take them and simply get out of her way. — Rejected Dear Rejected: Please don’t. Your wife isn’t looking to divorce. The main problem is that she’s no longer interested in sex. She believes that being around you means she will feel pressured to be intimate. So she avoids you by spending time online or with Mom. The two of you have decisions to make. Is she willing to have sex on occasion? Are you willing to live without it? Are there other accommodations you could reach regarding intimacy? Please discuss these issues honestly and openly. Dear Annie: My dad is getting remarried on Labor Day weekend. Although I’m happy for him, this will be his third marriage. I went to the last two ceremonies. During his most recent marriage, he put his new family’s needs ahead

of those of my siblings and me from the “old marriage.” I’m expecting the same this time around. Here’s the problem: I have been training for months to run a full marathon that happens to be scheduled the same day as the wedding. I didn’t know about the wedding until after I’d already signed up for the marathon. Although I’d be finished running by the time the ceremony begins, it’s three hours away and a long drive after a physically and emotionally intense event. My dad says it’s really important to him that I go, and so do my siblings. But I’m turning 30 soon and am weary of Dad’s immaturity. Should I go to both events? Should I put my needs first and not go at all? — Long-Distance Runner Dear Running: We think you should make an effort to go, even if it means arriving late. He’s still your father, and your presence matters to him. And who knows? Maybe the third time’s the charm. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
