Delphos, Ohio he said. So, how much money does a given district receive from the Ohio Lottery? Area treasurers have historically regarded this as an unknown because ODE doesnt tell them how much money comes from which funding sources. Charlton said he only knows that almost seven percent of his departments overall budget comes from lottery money and he knows the funding amount for all schools. He could not tell The Delphos Herald how that breaks down for individual districts because ODE doesnt track it. However, OOBM spokesman Matthew Martin says the amount can be determined. They (ODE) dont run a specific report to show how much each district gets from lottery money but they could calculate it district by district and payment by payment. It would be 10.91 percent of their state share funding the core funding for education, he said. Rostorfer said his recent net payment was $58,000 and 10.91 percent of that is $6,300. Ottoville Local Schools Treasurer Bob Weber said his dollar amount for the same net payment is $85,072 and 10.91 percent of that equals $9,272. Jennings Local Schools Treasurer Val Maag said her districts net payment is $67,324 and 10.91 percent of that is $7,345. Rostorfer explained that Delphos City Schools receive less than the two smaller districts because school funding begins with the overall financial worth of a district, especially real estate values. Then, the formula factors in the per-student amount. Ottoville and Jennings educate a much greater number of the children who represent those districts real estate values. Whereas, there is a greater gap between the two sets of numbers for Delphos City Schools because many students are enrolled elsewhere within the district.

CELINA The extreme summer heat claimed the life of the Mercer County Sheriffs K-9 yesterday when his handler left the dog in a hot patrol car. The K-9, Zak, was found dead in the patrol car Wednesday around 1 p.m. The K-9 handler, Dept. Chad Fortkamp, had been at the sheriffs office to complete the reconstruction of a traffic crash. When at the office, the car is either left running with air conditioning on or Zak comes into the building, stated Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey. The car was not running and it appears that Zak was overcome by the heat. According to a release from Greys office, Zak had a pre-existing heart condition but the veterinarian who performed an autopsy said that a perfectly healthy dog would most likely not survived the heat in the car. The sheriffs office was aware of the dogs heart condition previously. At this point, no disciplin-
ary action against Fortkamp has been announced but Grey has not made that decision yet. I have assigned Chief Deputy Thobe to do a thorough investigation into why the dog was in the car and why the car did not have the air conditioning running, Grey announced. Once that investigation is complete the results will be released. At that point, a decision will be made on whether disciplinary action against the handler is warranted. Grey went on to say he plans to suspend the K-9 program in Mercer County as the office has lost two dogs in the past three years. I am deeply disappointed and apologize to the members of the Moose Lodge, the Eagles of Celina and others who helped fund the K-9 program. In 2010, the Moose Lodge donated $5,000 and File photo the Eagles donated $1,500 for the purchase of Zak after K-9 Marbletown Festival childrens games begin at 10 a.m. on Aug. 11 at Garfield Park.

Previously, the U.S. 127 Yard Sales and the Lincoln Highway Buy-way Yard Sales occurred the same weekend, with the intersection of Main and Washington in downtown Van Wert becoming the crossroads of the two mammoth sales. This year, the sales move back to separate successive weekends, which only serves to extend the festival in this area. Today, the events surrounding the Rib Fest get started early. This additional day will be used to expand the food offerings on the weekend and to add more music and activities. Besides the rib vendors, food will be offered from CJs Shaved Ice, Annies Concessions, PK Mobile Foods, Van Wert Lions Club and Sycamore Ice Cream, while the VFW Beer Tent will be open and the water and soft drinks concession is handled by Emmanuel Lutheran Church.

assaults. In February 2003, she ran away with her boyfriend Mushtaq Bagas and told council officers she needed emergency accommodation as her parents were trying to force her into an arranged marriage with her cousin. In the same month, her parents took her to Pakistan where she drank bleach in protest against the arranged marriage. When she returned to Britain in May 2003, she was admitted to a hospital because of damage done to her throat. She was eventually released, but rows over her clothing continued. Eventually, her parents beat her, stuffed a thin white plastic bag into her mouth and held their hands over her mouth and nose until she was gone, her sister testified. The highest incidence of reported forced marriages is in Muslim communities. Britain is home to more than 1.8 million Muslims.

COLUMBUS (AP) A newly formed task force to combat human trafficking in Ohio says an investigation has yielded its first four indictments.

By The Associated Press Today is Friday, Aug. 3, the 216th day of 2012. There are 150 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On Aug. 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on a voyage that took him to the presentday Americas. On this date: In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr went on trial before a federal court in Richmond, Va., charged with treason. (He was acquitted less than a month later.) In 1914, Germany declared war on France at the onset of World War I. In 1921, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis refused to reinstate the former Chicago White Sox players implicated in the Black Sox scandal, despite their acquittals in a jury trial. In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the first of his four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics as he took the 100-meter sprint. In 1943, Gen. George S. Patton slapped a private at an army hospital in Sicily, accusing him of cowardice. (Patton was later ordered by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to apologize for this and a second, similar episode.) In 1949, the National Basketball Association was formed as a merger of the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League. In 1960, the African country of Niger (nee-ZHEHR) achieved full independence from French rule. In 1966, comedian Lenny Bruce, 40, was found dead in his Los Angeles home. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were. In 1987, the Iran-Contra congressional hearings ended, with none of the 29 witnesses tying President Ronald
Reagan directly to the diversion of arms-sales profits to Nicaraguan rebels. Ten years ago: Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian (jehn shwee bee-ehn) declared in a speech that Taiwan was not someone elses province but rather an independent country separate from China. (Chens comments sparked an uproar both in China and at home, prompting him to back away from his pointed rhetoric.) Five years ago: Toyota said its April-June 2007 profit had jumped 32.3 percent to a record high for a quarter, lifted by strong overseas sales and a weaker yen. Iraqis welcomed home their soccer team, which had won the Asian Cup. One year ago: Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak denied all charges against him as he went on trial for alleged corruption and complicity in the deaths of protesters whod helped drive him from power. (Mubarak was later convicted of failing to stop the killing of protesters and was sentenced to life in prison, but was acquitted of the corruption charges.) The Muscular Dystrophy Association announced that Jerry Lewis was no longer its national chairman and would not be appearing on the Labor Day telethon. Death claimed former NFL star and actor Bubba Smith, 66, and actress Annette Charles, 63, best known for her role as Cha Cha DeGregorio in Grease. Todays Birthdays: Author P.D. James is 92.

CINCINNATI (AP) Health officials investigating illnesses linked to a southwest Ohio county fair confirmed a strain of swine flu in nine cases Thursday and said it matches the virus that infected several people recently at an Indiana fair. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed an H3N2 variant flu virus in nine of 10 suspected Ohio cases. Testing is pending in the tenth case. Symptoms of the virus infection include cough, sore throat, fever, body aches and possible nausea and diarrhea. The 10 were among as many as 41 people all but two of them children who became sick with symptoms like those of swine flu and whose illnesses were linked to the Butler County Fair, which ended last weekend. No hospitalizations have been reported. Ohio Department of Health spokesman Robert Jennings said it is possible more people may be tested as local health officials gather more information. In 2009, the World Health Organization declared the H1N1 strain of swine flu the first global flu pandemic in 40 years. Investigation showed the H1N1 was lethal mostly to those with complicating circumstances. It is now considered a seasonal flu and included in the flu vaccine. People have rarely contracted the flu from pigs in recent years. Dr. Joe Bresee, an influenza epidemiologist for the CDC, said the agency has confirmed 19 cases of the H3N2 swine flu strain since it first showed up about one year ago. Among them, Indiana has had five confirmed cases and Hawaii one. The summer fair season brings thousands of people into close contact with hogs. Young fair exhibitors often spend hours with their animals, caring for them and preparing them for swine show competitions, and large numbers of people go through fair barns to see the pigs. There are nearly 1,500 hogs at the annual Ohio State Fair in Columbus this week. Ohio officials are asking doctors throughout the state to watch for patients with flu symptoms, especially if they have attended a fair or have had other contact with hogs or with people who have come in contact with the animals. They also are stepping up alerts and prevention measures with the state fair taking place this week and more county fairs ahead this summer. Ohio fairgoers are advised to wash their hands and avoid taking food and drinks into livestock barns. Pregnant women, young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems should be particularly careful. More hand sanitizers have been added around barns at the Ohio State Fair, and owners and veterinarians are being urged to watch for any signs of illness in the hogs. State agriculture officials also spread the word to county extension agents and others who work with 4-H and other youth groups involved with raising livestock. They say infected hogs might cough, sneeze or have stomach ailments. Indiana officials have also increased precautions for the Indiana State Fair beginning this weekend, and say they will turn away any hogs with temperatures above 105 degrees.

Whenever you have someone in high school selling this kind of volume, its going to attract attention sooner or later.
John Burke, commander of Warren County Drug Task Force School were shocked at the arrest, saying Pagenstecher seemed like an ordinary, easygoing kid who liked skateboarding, riding bikes and hanging out, 17-year-old friend Leslie Philpot said she and plenty of others knew he smoked pot and suspected he sold it, too. Anyone he was friends with knew, she said. He never came out and said, I sell drugs but he would say things where you know what he was talking about it. Hed be like, I dont have a real job. I dont need one. I have plenty of money. Then hed wink and you would know. Pagenstecher (PEG-ehncast an early ballot by mail or in person without giving any kind of excuse. In 2008, about 30 percent of the swing states total vote or roughly 1.7 million ballots came in ahead of Election Day. Obama for Americas lawsuit comes after a series of election law changes cleared the states Republican-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. John Kasich signed them. Before the changes, local boards of election had the discretion to set their own early, in-person voting hours on the days before the election. People were allowed up until Monday before the Tuesday election to vote in person. Weekend voting varied among the states 88 counties. With the changes, most Ohioans now have until the Friday evening before the Tuesday election to cast a ballot in person. But military voters can continue to vote in person until Monday. Democrats contend the legislative changes to the in-person, early-voting deadlines resulted in arbitrary and inequitable treatment of similarly situated voters. The office of Ohios Republican attorney general, who is also being sued, responded late Wednesday in a court filing. Attorney General Mike DeWines office noted that all Ohioans have numerous voting options that include casting an absentee by mail starting 35 days before the election, casting an in-person ballot on other days, and voting at their polling location on Election Day. These options, absent the possibility of a few more hours, do not harm anyone, wrote Richard Coglianese, an assistant attorney general.
steck-er) took orders from adults who led the drug ring but was in charge of six teenage lieutenants who helped sell the pot, authorities said. They, too, were arrested, as were seven adults, ages 20 to 58, who allegedly grew the weed under artificial lights in a furniture warehouse and two suburban homes. The task force seized more than 600 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $3 million, or $5,000 a pound. Investigators also found $6,000 in cash in Pagenstechers bedroom. Pagenstecher and his family denied requests for comment, as did his lawyer. Most of his customers attended Mason High and Kings High, two highly ranked public schools some 20 miles outside Cincinnati with lots of high-achieving, college-bound students from neighborhoods filled with doctors, lawyers and whitecollar employees of Procter & Gamble and other major corporations. Burke said Pagenstecher had been dealing drugs since at least 15 and managed to stay under authorities radar for a long time by not selling pot at school, but largely out of his home, a two-story,
white-brick house on a spacious corner lot where he lived with his single mother and 20-year-old brother. Investigators said they found no evidence Daffney Pagenstecher, a school bus driver, knew what her son was up to. By all accounts, he didnt throw a lot of money around. He had no fancy car, no fancy clothes, just normal teenage stuff like video games, Burke said. But the task force eventually got wind of what he was doing from informants and other sources last year, and undercover officers bought drugs from him twice, the officer said. Whenever you have someone in high school selling this kind of volume, its going to attract attention sooner or later, Burke said. Courtney Reeves, a high school teacher who grew up down the street, said she did notice a lot of cars coming and going from his house but figured he had a lot of friends. He honestly was your average high school student, Philpot said. At least everyone thought he was your average high school student. She said she wasnt surprised Pagenstecher was able
to do so much business at Mason. Any party you go to, you walk in and youre handed a beer and offered to hit a joint, she said. Its everywhere football players, basketball players, straight-A students, cheerleaders. With his arrest, Pagenstecher achieved a sort of celebrity among classmates, Philpot said: Theres some people who are like, Tylers a god. Hes amazing for pulling that off for so long. She said Pagenstecher is incredibly smart and always got As and Bs but never talked about whether he wanted to go to college. Prosecutor David Fornshell said it is clear that Pagenstecher is highly intelligent, and he hopes the young man goes straight. At the end of the day, thats what I want to see, he said. Getting him straight so he can use his intelligence for the betterment of society rather than trafficking drugs to our young people.

COLUMBUS The state watchdog has found that Ohios leading education official was on the payroll of a Texas-based standardized testing firm when he lobbied state lawmakers last year on a bill that benefited the company. In a report released Thursday, Inspector General Randall Meyer urged the Ohio Board of Education to consider disciplinary action against Superintendent Stan Heffner. Meyers investigation found Heffner already had a signed employment agreement with Princeton, N.J.based Educational Testing Services San Antonio office in May 2011, when he advocated use of the companys tests in written testimony submitted to an Ohio Senate committee. Heffner was then interim superintendent, later rejecting the ETS job to stay on in the Ohio role permanently. Heffner was the state school boards surprise pick for the top job at the Ohio Department of Education last July following a national search, declaring at the time, A funny thing happened on my way to Texas. In required post-employment paperwork, Heffner had listed his ETS start date as Aug. 1, 2011. However, the investigation found the agreement was signed that April, before he testified. The inspector generals probe found that beyond lobbying inappropriately for ETS, Heffner used his state email and cellphone to pursue the Texas job. He also directed his executive secretary at the state Education Department to mail his employment application to ETS, schedule related travel to Texas as well as to South Dakota, where he pursued a separate position and later to

for my lack of judgment, he said. Ive apologized to my staff, my friends and colleagues at the Department, and the Board. I have learned from my mistakes. Heffners testimony before lawmakers supported legislation that would result in an increase in testing of Ohios school teachers, work worth about $2.2 million for ETS. New tests were to be part of the federal Race to the Top education improvement program. ETS is the nations largest private, nonprofit educational testing and research firm. Meyers report said that ETS longstanding relationship with Ohios Education Department, and its expectation that it would have a role in the development of the new national tests, didnt excuse Heffner for failing to disclose his relationship with the firm before testifying.

Solyndra filed for bankruptcy protection in September 2011. Lawmakers estimated that the government could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars if officials had decided to cut the governments losses rather than to restructure the loan. Solyndra was a mistake that would have been much smaller if, in fact, career professionals had not been overruled, said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Oversight and Investigations Committee, which had held hearings on the Solyndra case. But the committees Democratic staff said Republicans were twisting internal debates among reviewers into evidence of mismanagement. In the end, decisions were made based on merit after extensive consideration of the companys prospects, they said.
opment said Thursdays developments represented progress given that the number of tax breaks in the annual extenders debate had ballooned from 42 in 1998 to 154 last year. The tide is turning, Hatch said. For the first time in my 21 years on this committee, we are deliberately moving in the opposite direction. Its the first step in a long journey, said Kent Conrad, D-N.D., though he acknowledged there is a certain irony to claiming the renewal of all the tax breaks is a step forward for tax reform. Opponent Tom Coburn, R-Okla., however, calculated that the Senate measure would only save taxpayers about $6 billion a pittance compared with this years expected deficit of $1.2 trillion. He said the panels moves were a step backward for hopes of doing tax reform next year. Thats better than nothing. But it aint anywhere close to where we have to be if were going to fix this country, Coburn said. You want the pressure jacked up to do tax reform? Dont renew any extenders, Coburn said. Thats how you get tax reform done.
highly personalized message: Romney has paid a lower proportion of his income in taxes than many people of lesser means. Obama planned to hammer his tax message again on Friday by calling on Congress to extend tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year before those cuts expire at the end of the year. The president wants to end the tax cuts, first enacted under President George W. Bush, for families making more than $250,000. While the overall race for the White House remains deadlocked, several polls show Romney with an advantage over Obama on economic issues. A USA Today/ Gallup Poll conducted in late July found 50 percent of Americans said Romney is the candidate who would be better at job creation, with 44 percent siding with Obama. Economists set modest expectations for Fridays jobs report. They expected the economy to have generated just 100,000 jobs last month, which would likely keep the unemployment rate at 8.2 percent. The trajectory of late hasnt given the Obama White House anything to celebrate. The American economy grew at a listless 1.5 percent annual pace from April through June, even slower than the 2 percent rate in the first three months of the year.

imposed by Washington that only increase the private sectors costs without substantially reducing its risks. They also said Democrats who control the Senate tried to ram the bill through without adequate time for debate. No one doubts the need to strengthen our nations cybersecurity defenses, said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The issue, he added, is how the Democratic leadership has tried to steamroll a bill that would address it. A cloture motion filed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, to limit debate and force a vote on the bill fell well short of the 60 votes needed to pass, failing 52-46. Congress is scheduled to go on its August recess at the end of the week and wont return until after Labor Day. The White House and Senate Democrats criticized Republicans for allowing the pro-business U.S. Chamber of Commerce to have such a prominent voice in a debate over a pressing national security issue. Democrats said they made substantial revisions to the legislation after the GOP and Chamber complained it would expand the federal governments regulatory authority over businesses already struggling in a tough economy.

Dermontti Dawson He was such a competitive guy but another thing is always he was so positive, said former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, now an NFL analyst for CBS. He had this really upbeat attitude, you enjoyed talking to him, there was a sense of joy to him. He enjoyed the games, the big games, the pressure. He never really changed. Dermontti is a special guy, very unique talent. Dawson was that rare center every team seeks but few find. He combined speed, strength, knowledge and leadership skills, anchoring Pittsburghs offensive line for five AFC Central championships and one AFC title. He made six straight All-Pro teams (199398) and seven Pro Bowls. As a player, I think he really took the position of center to another level, Cowher said. His athleticism
he would lead a basic run play we ran all the time. Dermontti allowed us to do blocking schemes you never saw before in terms of a pulling center. After being selected 44th overall in the draft, Dawson was unsure how he would fit in Pittsburgh. He knew Webster was one of the games top centers and didnt expect to supplant him. When coach Chuck Noll plunked him at guard, Dawson was a backup, not starting until his fourth game. He wound up starting five games that year. Those were his only five starts at guard. Coach Noll came up to me in the hallway in the stadium after (the season) and said, I want to switch you to center in 88. I knew Mike was a legend but once Mike wound up leaving for Kansas City, they gave me the nod in training camp, he recalled. And he held the job for 170 straight starts until being sidelined by a hamstring injury in 1999. Dawson played one more season and probably could have continued his career elsewhere in the NFL. Even when I had the injury and the Steelers had to cut me and I had to retire after 2000, he said, I still had some teams that wanted me to play for them. They knew the situation with the hamstring
tendon and still wanted me. But I had a great career in Pittsburgh; why mess that up? I was proud to play with one team the whole career and thats a testament to the Steelers. They know the guys who really contribute and who are dedicated to the team and they take care of them accordingly. Dawson is well aware there will be plenty of black-andgold Steelers jerseys in the crowd at Fawcett Stadium for the inductions. Pittsburgh is only 77 miles from Canton. He cant wait. Ill probably have more than 100 people, family and friends, coming to Canton, Dawson said. Black and gold nation will be there. As will those three other linemen, all of whom Dawson praises for their ability, diligence and longevity. With defensive linemen, the way they contribute in doing their job, especially in the interior, that is the toughest defensive position, which is what Cortez played so well for all those years, he added. He always had two or three guys trying to hit him. Then he has to find the ball and try to get to the quarterback. Cortez was a tremendous athlete for his size and did all that. Chris did it, as well, but from the outside, where he also had other responsibilities. He could really get to the quarterback.

2021 season that increases the rights fee from $1.1 billion to $1.9 billion annually. Haslam has been a minority investor in the Steelers since 2008 and is president and CEO of Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers and travel plazas in North America. He is the older brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. The elder Haslam founded the Pilot Corp. in 1958 with a single gas station in Gate City, Va. The Browns went 4-12 in 2011, Pat Shurmurs first season as coach. New owners usually bring in their own management team, although Shurmur has impressed many people around the league. I have no fear about any of that because I trust my coaches, I trust the players and Ive watched the work theyve done based on the conversation of this last week, Shurmur said Thursday. I think were moving full steam ahead. That doesnt bother me one bit at this point at this point. My concern is getting this team ready to play and our players understand that message and they are doing a good job.

In seven starts since July 1, Chen is 0-3 with an 8.73 ERA, allowing 32 runs, 50 hits and 11 walks in 33 innings. Kluber made it through 4 1/3 innings, giving up no runs and three hits after the first.

Who played the robot Gort? -- Q.A.W., Houtzdale, Pa. A: Seven-foot-seven actor Lock Martin portrayed Gort. Martin at one time performed with Spike Jones and His City Slickers, and he played the role of a cowboy at Knotts Berry Farm. When the casting department needed a large man to wear Gorts suit, someone remembered this incredibly tall doorman at Graumans Chinese Theatre. He was immediately hired. He appeared in at least three more films and for a time hosted a TV program in the Los Angeles area called The Gentle Giant, during which he read stories to a group of children on the set. He died in 1959. Q: Several staff members got into a lunchroom discussion trying to come up with what might have been the first product dispensed from a vending machine in this country. We came up with a long list. Can you provide an answer for us? -- V.L., Madison, Wis. A: In 1888, the Thomas Adams Gum Company built the first vending machine in the United States; it sold gum, of course. The machines were placed on New York City train platforms.

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 2012 In the year ahead, there are strong indications that many Leos might be doing more traveling than usual. Many of these trips will be purposeful, but not necessarily of long duration. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Changes to your routine should work out rather well, especially those where chance intervenes. Shifts you personally engineer are likely to be a bit more complicated. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Your warm, cooperative personality is extremely contagious. Your friends and colleagues will find this to be quite appealing, encouraging them to act similarly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Because your pride, not your ego, will dominate your behavior, its likely to be a very rewarding day for you. You wont hesitate to affix your signature to any of your efforts. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Being a bit of a risk- taker could work to your advantage if you use your daring productively. Thus, make sure that attaining what you go after is within the realm of probability. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Apply your efforts toward concluding a promising situation, instead of branching out into doing something new. Your biggest rewards will come from things already underway. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Persons can be swayed to your way of thinking if you use a friendly, logical approach on them. Conversely, if you try to force your thinking on others, youre not likely to make any headway. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre involved in a payment scheme that involves commission, this could be a good day. Its important, however, that you dont put all your eggs in one basket. Limit your offerings. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There is a very fine line between being assertive and being aggressive. Dont think your associates wont see the difference. Avoid being pushy or arrogant at all costs. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont hesitate to offer a helping hand when you see a friend in need of assistance. Youll know how to help out in a manner that doesnt make him or her feel inadequate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A new way to make some money that has captured your fancy is worthy of your attention. Check it out thoroughly, in order to appreciate all of the possibilities it offers. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -A situation you have been evading isnt likely to be as bad as youve led yourself to believe. If you try to meet it head-on, chances are youll discover this for yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre able to choose between assignments of a physical and mental nature, tackle the one that uses your mind more than your muscles.

The lack of evidence, Petersons attorneys contended, is why they believe prosecutors have knowingly tried to get inadmissible evidence before the jury. Its an effort to impress that Peterson is feared by his neighbors, they say, which is a backhanded way of trying to prove he committed murder. Everyone is afraid of Mr. Peterson so he must have done this (committed murder), Greenberg said. Burmila appeared to sympathize with that argument, and his comments indicated that he would not allow prosecutors to broach the topic. There is no doubt that the victims state of mind (that she might have been fearful) is immaterial and that only facts supporting the murder allegation are relevant, he said. With Thursday mornings drama concluded, the proceedings resembled a routine murder trial, with a paramedic testifying about being called to Savios house the night her body was found. Prosecutors, who contend that Peterson staged the scene to make it look like an accidental death, walked paramedic Louis Oleszkiewicz through what he saw that night. This towel right there was not there that evening, he said, as he looked at a photograph taken of the bathroom. Prosecutors have suggested Peterson put the towel there to make it look like Savio had been taking a bath. A locksmith who opened the door of Savios home that night at Drew Petersons request also took the stand. He said he left the scene after he heard a scream which was the sound of a neighbor who had just discovered Savios body inside. I got the heck out of Dodge, he said. I just sorta figured it wasnt good. ... You dont want the locksmith around, trust me. Peterson, who was a police officer in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, has pleaded not guilty. He also has said he wasnt responsible for his fourth wifes disappearance. brace for a slew of possible punitive measures by Israel and the U.S., according to an internal Palestinian document that outlined expected repercussions. The U.S. could close the PLO mission in Washington, suspend millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinians or withhold contributions to any U.N. agency the Palestinians try to join, said the document obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. The U.S. already took such a step when the Palestinians joined the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO last year. Possible Israel reactions could include increasing restrictions on Palestinian trade and movement, the document said. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Israel is aware of the Palestinian intentions, but declined to comment on possible Israeli responses to such a move. Palestinians should focus on renewing negotiations instead of seeking international support, he said. If the Palestinians really wanted to improve the situation here on the ground and try to take the first step toward some reasonable solution of the conflict, they should have invested all their efforts in diplomatic moves in the region, said Palmor. The internal document said Palestinian institutions should get ready for any scenario. The paper was presented to the Arab League last month and was discussed Wednesday by senior Fatah members. We discussed the different scenarios ... and decided to go (to the General Assembly) regardless of the pressure and the threats, said Mahmoud Aloul, a Fatah official. The date is up to the Arab League ... For us, the sooner the better.
There are some who might want to wait until after November because of American pressure, but the Americans have done nothing but put pressure on the Palestinians, without delivering anything. What we need is to move fast.
Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the PLO Executive Committee move when the organization meets in early September. Late last month, the Arab League decided in principle to back his U.N. bid. General Assembly recognition of Palestine would upgrade the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories Israel occupied in 1967, to a non-member observer state. It would not change realities on the ground Israel has annexed east Jerusalem, retains control over the West Bank and remains the gatekeeper of Gaza. However, U.N. recognition would enshrine the 1967 pre-war frontier as the border between Israel and Palestine, countering what the Palestinians view as Israeli attempts to blur the line by expanding settlements on war-won land. Some 500,000 Israeli settlers already live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, and their numbers are growing. At the same time, Palestinians will have to
at Chick-fil-A
ATLANTA (AP) Gay rights activists and other supporters of marriage equality planned a national Kiss In at Chick-fil-A restaurants today to protest the fast-food chain owners opposition to same-sex unions. Participants are encouraged to come to the fast-food chains and kiss a fellow demonstrator of the same sex. One organizer, Carly McGehee of Dallas, said she hopes the event helps gay youths who feel isolated and are victims of bullying. Without question, Dan Cathy has every right to voice his opinions and beliefs, Herndon Graddick, president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, said in a statement. But he should meet and get to know the people that hes speaking out against - the people who are harmed by his companys multi-million dollar donations to anti-gay hate groups working to hurt everyday LGBT Americans and break apart loving families, Graddick said. LGBT is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. The gatherings come two days after hundreds of thousands of customers, many of them conservative Christians, recognized Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day at more than 1,600 locations. The company said in a statement the turnout Wednesday made for an unprecedented day, although it says it doesnt release exact sales numbers. The Chick-fil-A culture and 66-year-old service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender, the statement said. Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy stirred the controversy when he told a religious publication last month that the company was guilty as charged for backing the biblical definition of a family.
LOS ANGELES TJ Jackson was one of Michael Jacksons favorite nephews. An heir to the familys musical talent and striking good looks, he is the son of Tito, one of the original Jackson Five. Largely unknown to the American public until now, he has been anointed as coguardian of Michaels most prized treasures his three children. Suddenly, TJ is the chosen Jackson, the one designated to work beside Michaels mother to look after the welfare of his three cousins Prince, 15, Paris, 14 and Blanket,10, who will inherit the King of Pops fortune. Hes stepping into a sensitive situation just days after a family feud went viral. But he appears to have only one interest at heart the children. He has been very dedicated to these kids since Michael Jacksons death and he was involved with them before that, TJs lawyer, Charles A. Schultz, said at a Thursday court hearing. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff, who appointed TJ to work with Katherine Jackson, said there is a strong bond between the 34-year-old T.J. and the children. They have a very significant relationship with TJ Jackson and they love him very much, said the judge. There are things about his past that the kids can relate to. Schultz agreed, saying outside court: He had a loss early in his life of a close personal relative and they can identify with that. In 1994, six years after his parents divorced, TJs mother, Dolores, died in a drowning at her home swimming pool. Her boyfriend was later convicted of causing her drowning and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. When Michael Jackson died in 2009, Dr. Conrad Murray was accused of causing his death and was convicted of manslaughter. He is currently serving a four-year prison term. Now, three years after his death, Michaels children are at the center of a familial battle and TJs role has become even more important. Recently, Katherine Jackson was reported missing and Beckloff replaced her with TJ as the childrens guardian. Now shes back, telling a story of having been held virtually incommunicado at a resort in Tucson, Ariz., unaware that she was the subject of a missing persons report. In the court hearing Thursday, with neither of the parties present, the judge ruled that TJ and Katherine will share guardianship on a temporary basis. The arrangement could be made permanent later. Beckloff had appointed an investigator to look into the domestic situation at the suburban Calabasas mansion where the young Jacksons have been living with their 82-year-old grandmother. The result was a glowing report: It appears from the report that Katherine Jackson has done a wonderful job and cares about the children very much, the judge said. I think the kids are in terrific hands. No mention was made of the Jackson siblings who were at the center of a family dispute last week that broke into a public shouting match on the driveway of Katherines home. What one lawyer called the chaos ended with Jermaine Jackson calling for a truce. TJ, who is movie star-handsome and has a band with his brothers called 3T, is named Tito Joseph for his father and grandfather. Always known as TJ, he appears to have emerged as a welcome stable force in the family.
