Whooping Cough Bargains and deals galore

‘tDAP’ immunization
BY MICHAEL FORD
The Delphos Herald
mford@delphosherald.com
Because Whooping Cough
is spreading in Ohio, the state
has mandated all incom-
ing seventh-grade students
received a “tDap” immuniza-
tion prior to Sept. 14 or they
will not be permitted to attend
classes. State law mandates
schools dismiss any seventh-
grade student whose parents
have not submitted immuniza-
tion proof by that date.
Allen County
Immunization Action Plan
Coordinator Jan Huckeriede
said the illness began spread-
ing in Allen County in April.
Though most adults are not at
serious risk, children are.
“Whooping Cough can
cause death; kids can die from
it because they cough to the
point where they lose their
breath. They can’t stop cough-
ing and kind of strangle or,
more or less, suffocate. There
is mucus in their chest cavity
and you can hear it when they
cough — it’s a really harsh
cough for the little ones and
has a ‘whoop’ sound at the
end. Because their chest cav-
ity is smaller, they can’t clear
it. So, they don’t have good
air exchange,” she said.
Adults who have general
health complications or are
around young children should
consider getting the shot,
according to Huckeriede.
“We’re finding as we get
older, our immune system is
waning. Even though our pro-
tection is down, as adults, we
are bigger so we’re getting
whooping cough as conges-
tion or a bad cough. As we’re
coughing, if we’re around
children, we’re making them
sick,” she said.
The shot is standard immu-
nization for young children.
Huckeriede said the state’s
reasoning for only mandating
the shot for seventh graders
is to simply add a “reminder”
to the series of shots already
administered.
“The state mandated sev-
enth-grade students get the
booster to remind their bodies
of the standard immunization
they received at 2,4 and 6
months, 12-15 months and
4 or 5 years old going into
kindergarten. It’s also a good
idea for anyone up to age 64
to get it; the state mandated
it just for seventh graders
in the interest of supply and
demand,” she said.
Local school officials
request that immunization
proof be presented when sev-
enth graders register for class-
es. The shots can be provided
by pediatricians but the health
department has also sched-
uled clinics from 4-6 p.m. on
the third Wednesday of each
month at the Delphos Public
Library. Appointments can also
be scheduled with the depart-
ment to get the injection at
its office from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

10:30 p.m. each Thursday.

A key issue raised by
their lawsuit is whether the
federal government can
require individuals to pur-
chase health care insurance
and fine those who don’t.
The court must hear the
case to preserve individual
liberties granted through
the Constitution, said Karen
Harned, executive director
of the Small Business Legal
Center of the National
Federation of Independent
Business.
“The federal government
does not have the authority
to regulate an individual’s
decision to do nothing. If
they did, then they could
force us to purchase any
product they want,” she
said.
In a statement, Harned
said the government’s
motion to dismiss was
based on “political rhetoric
and flimsy legal arguments”
and was an attempt to dis-
tract the court from evaluat-
ing the case’s constitutional
issues.

U.S. District Judge Roger
Vinson has set a Sept. 14
hearing to consider argu-
ments on the motion to dis-
miss.
In its motion to dismiss
the lawsuit, the Justice
Department said the require-
ment to buy coverage is
an exercise of Congress’
constitutional power to tax
and spend. Government
attorneys also have said that
while reasonable people
may disagree on issues such
as the health care overhaul,
it cannot be moved from the
elected branches of govern-
ment into the courts with-
out a genuine constitutional
issue, which they maintain
is absent in this case.
The states argue the new
law will require them to pay
additional Medicaid costs
not covered by the federal
government, but that they
cannot opt out of the pro-
gram for low-income and
disabled people because it
has become too popular.
They maintain that vio-
lates the 10th Amendment,
which says the states and
people have powers that the
constitution does not grant
to the federal government
nor prohibit the states from
having.
The health care law,
passed along partisan lines,
requires most Americans
to carry health insurance
— through an employer,
a government program, or
by buying their own policy.
The mandate is effective in
2014. Insurers will then be
required to take all appli-
cants, and the government
will offer tax credits to help
middle-class households
pay premiums. Medicaid
will be expanded to cover
millions more low-income
people.
Individuals who refuse
to get health insurance will
face a tax penalty, with
exceptions for financial
hardship and religious rea-
sons.

2 killed, dozens hurt in
school bus crash in Mo.
By JiM sALter
the Associated Press
GRAY SUMMIT, Mo. —
Two buses packed with mem-
bers of a high school marching
band slammed into a freeway
wreck that happened right in
front of them on Thursday,
crushing a pickup truck and
killing its driver — the son of
a political hopeful — as well
as one of the students.
Dozens of other students
from the John F. Hodge High
School in St. James were taken
to hospitals for treatment after
the crash, which happened on
a highway near Gray Summit,
about 40 miles west of St.
Louis. Most of the injuries
were minor, and only two stu-
dents remained hospitalized
Thursday evening.
The students were travel-
ing to a Six Flags amusement
park about 10 miles from the
crash site.
According to the State
Highway Patrol, a pickup truck
driven by 19-year-old Daniel
Schatz, a former reserve quar-
terback for the University of
Missouri football team and
the son of Republican state
House candidate Dave Schatz,
slammed into the back of a
semi cab that had slowed
approaching a construction
zone.
The forward-most of the
two buses carrying the St.
James students slammed into
the back of Schatz’s truck,
then landed on top of it after it
was rammed from behind by
the other bus, said Highway
Patrol Cpl. Jeff Wilson.
Jessica Brinker, a 15-year-
old student who was sitting in
the back of the first bus, was
killed, the Patrol said.

crashed, and that everything
happened so quickly it was
a blur.
“It was all very, very
quick,” Griffith said. “I was
trying to get away, trying to
get everyone away from the
bus because I could smell
gas.”
Griffith, who was evalu-
ated and released at SSM
Cardinal Glennon Children’s
Medical Center in St. Louis,
was among about three dozen
students who were called into
a room at the hospital and told
about Brinker’s death.
“There’s a lot of pain,” he
said, choking back tears.
A huge crowd gathered
Thursday evening for a hast-
ily called prayer vigil at a
middle school in St. James,
a town of 3,700 residents 86
miles southwest of St. Louis
that is known for its wineries
and outdoor splendor.
“Anytime you have some-
thing like this, it is a big trag-
edy for a community,” the
town’s mayor, Dennis Wilson,
said earlier. He described the
community as “one of those
towns where you know just
about everyone in town and
know their kids,” including
the nearly 600 children who
attend Hodge high school.
Joy Tucker, the superinten-
dent of the St. James school
system, said it was a “horrible,
horrible day” for the com-
munity.
“We’ll never get over this,”
she said.

and then possibly to the U.S.
Supreme Court. Others say the
power of conservative judges
on those courts could be enough
to thwart gay marriage and stop
the movement in its tracks.
Sure to be at the center of the
debate is whether California’s
Proposition 8 violates the 14th
Amendment, which guarantees
equal protections for all and
declares that government won’t
take away “life, liberty or prop-
erty” without due process.
U.S. District Judge Vaughn
Walker said on several occasions
in his ruling that he believes gay
marriage bans clearly deprive
Proposition 8 uncloaks the most
likely explanation for its pas-
sage: a desire to advance the
belief that opposite-sex couples
are morally superior to same-
sex couples,” he said.
Walker’s ruling offers a pre-
view of some of the arguments
that will play out on the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals — the
nation’s largest and most unpre-
dictable federal appeals court.
Experts say the court will
play a huge role in determining
the future of the case.

The students injured in the

Wilson said.
Thirty-six people were
originally taken to Cardinal
Glennon and by late evening,
all but one were released. Of
six victims sent to St. John’s

five were released and one

judge panel of the court will
consider the case next. The
9th Circuit is viewed as a lib-
eral court, but its sheer size of 27
active judges and the many cut-
ting-edge legal issues it receives
from western states leaves it with
an inconsistent track record.
And there’s no disputing that
the court has some hot-button
social issues in front of it right
now. Just last week, the con-
troversial Arizona immigration
law landed at the court.
The court is routinely rebuffed
by the Supreme Court and fed-
eral lawmakers for striking
down the Pledge of Allegiance,
upholding California’s medical
marijuana law and other deci-
sions viewed as resting outside
the mainstream.
Legal experts such as
Stanford University law pro-
fessor Michael Wald said that
Walker’s opinion was strongly
worded, well-reasoned and
could be difficult to overturn.
Wald said it’s significant
that Walker made a voluminous
“findings of fact” that showed
Proposition 8 was unconstitu-
tional. The “findings of fact”
phrasing is important because
appeals courts have to pay def-
erence to those conclusions,
essentially they have to assume
that the findings are true.
Scuffle not part
of movie for
Corbin Bernsen
NEW FRANKLIN (AP) —
Actor-director Corbin Bernsen
has told police he was thrown
to the ground during a bar
brawl in Ohio, where he’s
making a movie.
According to a police report,
the star of TV’s “Psych” and
“L.A. Law” says he scraped a
knee in the fight July 27 in the
Akron area, where Bernsen is
filming “25 Hill” about the All-
American Soap Box Derby.
A spokeswoman for the
movie claims the scuffle
began when a local man made
unwanted advances to a woman
on Bernsen’s film crew while
the moviemakers were having
dinner.
The man told New Franklin
police that he knew the woman
from high school and was
merely saying hello.
Punches were thrown, and “25
Hill” co-producer James Greilick
was treated for a black eye.
No one is pressing charges.

Drug bottles
found in Anna
Nicole Smith
death room
By LinDA DeUtsCH
the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Drug
bottles, a duffel bag full of cash
and Anna Nicole Smith’s sob-
bing boyfriend were found in
the Florida hotel room where the
Playboy model died of an over-
dose three years ago, a police
detective testified Thursday.
Detective Katherine Frank
was the first witness to take
the stand in the trial of Smith’s
lawyer-boyfriend, Howard K.
Stern, and two doctors who
have pleaded not guilty to con-
spiring to supply the model with
vast amounts of powerful opi-
ates and sedatives.
Smith, 39, was found dead
in the Hollywood, Fla., room in
February 2007.
Frank testified that shortly
after her body was found and
taken away, Stern fell to his
knees in the room and began
crying.
“He was visibly shaken with
reddened eyes, tears and trem-
bling,” Frank said.
The account was elicited by
Stern’s lawyer, Steve Sadow,
who has said Stern was in love
with Smith and all his actions
were directed at trying to help
her.
The detective said a duf-
fel bag found in the room at
the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
contained more than $8,000 in
cash.
Smith’s bodyguard Maurice
Brighthaupt told police he was
owed the money and demand-
ed they hand it over, but they
refused, Frank testified.
Brighthaupt was expected to
testify today.
Under prosecution ques-
tioning, pharmacist Olga
Kopetman identified multiple
prescriptions written by defen-
dant Dr. Khristine Eroshevich,
a psychiatrist, to Anna Nicole
Smith, Vicky Marshall, which
is Smith’s real name, and three
other names including Stearn, a
misspelling of Stern, from 2003
to 2006. They were filled at a
pharmacy in Studio City.
Some were for the painkiller
Vicodin and anti-anxiety drugs
Xanax and Zoloft. Others were
for sleep and anti-seizure medi-
cations, the pharmacist said.
Stern paid for the drugs,
Kopetman testified, with one
bill totaling $4,474.
Kopetman and another
pharmacist, Emma Avakian,
testified that Stern frequently
picked up drugs prescribed by
Eroshovich, and that they never
saw Anna Nicole Smith pick up
her own prescriptions, which
often included large quantities
of drugs with refills available.
Avakian said one prescrip-
tion for Valium provided 240
pills and was refilled after just
three weeks.
Avakian said she was con-
cerned about the amount of nar-
cotics because “a patient can
overdose and too much of it can
kill them.”
On cross-examination,
Sadow asked if a patient tak-
ing many of the drugs over a
long period would build a toler-
ance. Kopetman said that was
possible, and the patient would
have to receive larger doses for
the drugs to be effective.

At the Vantage Point
Funeral held for
woman run over
by police car
CINCINNATI (AP) —
A Cincinnati woman who
authorities say was run over
by a police cruiser in a park
will be laid to rest, and her
family is encouraging the pub-
lic to attend the services.
The funeral for 48-year-
old Joann Burton is scheduled
for today at a church in the
city’s Over-the-Rhine neigh-
borhood.
Authorities say veteran
officer Marty Polk drove over
Burton in Washington Park
last week while she was lying
under some blankets on the
grass. She died shortly after
arriving at a hospital.

14 charged for backing

By PETE YOST and
AMY FORLITI
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
government announced today
that it has charged 14 people
as participants in “a dead-
ly pipeline” to Somalia that
routed money and fighters
from the United States to the
terrorist group al-Shabab.
The indictments unsealed
in Minneapolis, San Diego
and Mobile, Ala., reflect “a
disturbing trend” of recruit-
ment efforts targeting U.S.
residents to become terrorists,
Attorney General Eric Holder
told a news conference. In
one case, two women pleaded
for money “to support violent
jihad in Somalia,” according
to an indictment.
The attorney general cred-
ited Muslim community lead-
ers in the United States for
regularly denouncing terror-
ists and for providing critical
assistance to law enforcement
to help disrupt terrorist plots
and combat radicalization.
“We must ... work to pre-
vent this type of radicaliza-
tion from ever taking hold,”
Holder said.
Of the 14 people charged
at least half are U.S. citizens
and 12 of them are out of the
country, including 10 men
from Minnesota who alleg-
edly left to join al-Shabab.
Seven of those 10 Minnesota
men named in one of today’s
indictments had been charged
previously in the probe.

U.S. to interrogate the detain-
ees in CIA “black sites”
for two more years without
allowing them to speak with
attorneys or human rights
observers or challenge their
detention in U.S. courts.
Had they remained at the
Guantanamo Bay prison for
just three more months, they
would have been afforded
those rights.
“This was all just a
shell game to hide detain-
ees from the courts,” said
Jonathan Hafetz, a Seton
Hall University law professor
who has represented several
detainees.
Kagan confirmed as 112th justice
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD
DAVIS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Senate confirmed Elena Kagan
Thursday as the Supreme
Court’s 112th justice and the
fourth woman in its history,
granting a lifetime term to a
lawyer and academic with a
reputation for brilliance, a dry
sense of humor and a liberal
bent.
The vote was 63-37 for
President Barack Obama’s
nominee to succeed retired
Justice John Paul Stevens.
Five Republicans joined
all but one Democrat and the
Senate’s two independents to
support Kagan. In a rarely
practiced ritual reserved for
the most historic votes, sena-
tors sat at their desks and
stood to cast their votes with
“ayes” and “nays.”
Kagan watched on TV in
the conference room at the
solicitor general’s office, with
her Justice Department col-
leagues looking on. She’s to
be sworn in Saturday after-
noon at the court by Chief
Justice John Roberts.
Obama, traveling in
are battling Somalia’s weak-
ened government and have
been branded a terrorist group
with ties to al-Qaida by the
U.S. and other Western coun-
tries.
Terrorist organizations
such as al-Shabab continue
to radicalize and recruit U.S.
citizens and others to train
and fight with them, said
Sean Joyce, the FBI’s execu-
tive assistant director for the
national security branch.
One of two indictments
issued in Minnesota alleges
that two Somali women who
were among those charged,
and others, went door to door
in Minneapolis; Rochester,
Minn., and elsewhere in the
U.S. and Canada to raise funds
for al-Shabab’s operations in
Somalia. The indictment says
the women — the only two
people indicted today who
remain in the United States
— raised the money under
false pretenses, claiming it
would go to the poor and
needy, and used phony names
for recipients to conceal that
the money was going to al-
Shabab.
Omar Hammami, who is
now known as Abu Mansour
al-Amriki, or “the American,”
was charged in Mobile, Ala.
He has become one of al-
Shabab’s most high-profile
members. He appeared in a
jihadist video in May 2009.
At the news conference,
Holder said Hammami has
appeared in several propa-
ganda videos for al-Shabab
and “has assumed an opera-
tional role in that organiza-
tion.”
Hammami grew up in
the middle-class town of
Daphne, Ala., and attend-
ed the University of South
Alabama in Mobile, where he
Removing them from
Guantanamo Bay under-
scores how worried President
George W. Bush’s adminis-
tration was that the Supreme
Court might lift the veil of
secrecy on the detention
program. It also shows how
insistent the Bush administra-
tion was that terrorists must
be held outside the U.S. court
system.
Years later, the pro-
gram’s legacy continues to
complicate President Barack
Obama’s efforts to prosecute
the terrorists behind the Sept.
11, 2001, attacks.
The arrival and speedy
departure from Guantanamo
were pieced together by the
AP using flight records and
interviews with current and
former U.S. officials and oth-
ers familiar with the CIA’s
detention program. All spoke
on condition of anonymity to
discuss the program.
Top officials at the White
House, Justice Department,
Pentagon and CIA consult-
ed on the prisoner transfer,
which was so secretive that
even many people close to
the CIA detention program
were kept in the dark.
Chicago, said Kagan will
make an outstanding justice
who understands that her rul-
ings affect people, and called
the addition of another woman
to the court a sign of progress
for the country. He invited
Kagan to the White House
today for a ceremony marking
her confirmation.
The vote, Obama said, was
“an affirmation of her charac-
ter and her temperament; her
open-mindedness and even-
handedness; her determina-
tion to hear all sides of every
story and consider all possible
arguments.”
Kagan isn’t expected to
alter the ideological balance
of the court, where Stevens
was considered a leader of
the liberal wing. But the
two parties clashed over her
nomination and the court
itself. Republicans argued
that Kagan was a politically
motivated activist who would
be unable to put aside her
opinions and rule impartially.
Democrats defended her as
a highly qualified trailblazer
for women who could bring a
note of moderation and real-
world experience to a polar-
ized court they said was domi-

was president of the Muslim
Student Association nine
years ago. Hammami, 26,
enrolled at the university in
2001 but left in 2002; school
officials said they have been
unaware of his whereabouts
since then.
Hammami’s father, Shafik,
is an engineer with the state
highway department who also
has served as president of the
Islamic Society of Mobile.
Shafik Hammami confirmed
his relationship to Omar
Hammami in e-mail exchang-
es with The Associated Press
earlier this year but declined
further comment.
In San Diego, prosecutors
unsealed an indictment charg-
ing Jehad Serwan Mostafa,
28, with conspiring to pro-
vide material support to al-
Shabab. Mostafa is believed
to be in Somalia.
One of the Minnesota
indictments alleges that the
two women, Amina Farah
Ali, 33, and Hawo Mohamed
Hassan, 63, raised money
by making direct appeals to
people in teleconferences “in
which they and other speak-
ers encouraged financial con-
tributions to support violent
jihad in Somalia.”
During one teleconfer-
ence, the indictment says, Ali
told others “to forget about
the other charities” and focus
on “the jihad.”
The indictment says Ali
and others sent the funds
to al-Shabab through vari-
ous hawalas, money transfer
businesses that are a common
source of financial transac-
tions in the Islamic world. Ali
is accused of sending $8,608
to al-Shabab on 12 occa-
sions between Sept. 17, 2008,
through July 5, 2009.
CIA spokesman George
Little said: “The so-called
black sites and enhanced
interrogation methods, which
were administered on the
basis of guidance from the
Department of Justice, are a
thing of the past.”
Before dawn on Sept. 24,
2003, a white, unmarked
Boeing 737 landed at
Guantanamo Bay. At least
four al-Qaida operatives,
some of the CIA’s big-
gest captures to date, were
aboard: Abu Zubaydah, Abd
al-Nashiri, Ramzi Binalshibh
and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.
Binalshibh and al-Hawsawi
helped plan the 9/11 attacks.
Al-Nashiri was the master-
mind of the 2000 bombing of
the USS Cole. Zubaydah was
an al-Qaida travel facilita-
tor. The admitted terrorists
had spent months overseas
enduring some of the harshest
interrogation tactics in U.S.
history.
By late summer 2003, the
CIA believed the men had
revealed their best secrets.
The agency needed some-
where to hold them, but no
longer needed to conduct pro-
longed interrogations.
nated by just the kind of activ-
ists the GOP denounced.
Kagan is the first Supreme
Court nominee in nearly 40
years with no experience as
a judge, and her swearing-
in will mark the first time
in history that three women
will serve on the nine-member
court together.
Her lack of judicial expe-
rience was the stated rea-
son for one fence-sitting
Republican, Sen. Scott Brown
of Massachusetts, to announce
his opposition to Kagan’s con-
firmation Thursday, just hours
before the vote.
Though calling her “bril-
liant,” Brown — who had
been seen as a potential GOP
supporter — said she was
missing the necessary back-
ground to serve as a justice.
“The best umpires, to use
the popular analogy, must not
only call balls and strikes, but
also have spent enough time
on the playing field to know
the strike zone,” Brown said.
Democrats said they hoped
Kagan would act as a coun-
terweight to the conservative
majority that’s dominated
the Supreme Court in recent
years.

A Hog in the Hall:
Redskins’ Grimm
goes to Canton
By JOSEPH WHITE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
guys wearing the dresses
and pig snouts can rejoice.
There’s finally going to be a
Hog in the Hall.
But Russ Grimm also
belonged to another select
group during his 11 NFL sea-
sons, all with the Washington
Redskins. He and his team-
mates would gather in a shed
at the old Redskins Park as
members of the “5 o’clock
club,” where choice bever-
ages were consumed in a
sort of counterculture to the
straight-laced ways of coach
Joe Gibbs.
Now Grimm is headed
to the Hall of Fame, one of
seven members to be inducted
Saturday. The character who
got up to so much mischief
in his playing days is now a
respected assistant head coach
with the Arizona Cardinals,
and he’s the first among the
NFL’s most famous offen-
sive line to be enshrined in
Canton.
“He drove Joe nuts,” said
Bobby Beathard, the long-
time Redskins general man-
ager who assembled the
Hogs. “We had some times
there. Boy, it was funny.
They could drive you to an
early grave, that group. They
were doing everything.”
But, added Beathard,
when it was game time:
“They all knew they came to
play. There was no messing
around, no shortcuts. They
were so smart, the smartest
group of guys.”
And Grimm is considered
the best of them all, the left
guard in a fivesome that pun-
ished defenses on the way
to Super Bowl titles. They
were the first offensive line
to become glamorous, thanks
to an unglamorous nickname
that inspired T-shirts, slogans
and those strangely dressed
male fans. The NFL cham-
pionships at the end of the
1982, 1987 and 1991 seasons
wouldn’t have been possible
without the Hogs, and there’s
long been a case that their
recognition by the Hall was
well overdue.
“We’ve finally got that
first step, where one of us is
in now,” Grimm said. “I think
that’ll put a little bit more
light on some of the guys I
played with.”
A third-round draft pick
Bengals’ DE Odom back on line
By JOE KAY
The Associated Press
GEORGETOWN, Ky. —
Antwan Odom zips around
the Cincinnati Bengals’ train-
ing camp on a 2-wheel trans-
port, getting where he wants
to go as fast as he can.
The Bengals hope the same
holds true when he’s back in
the lineup.
The 28-year-old defensive
end has fully recovered from
a torn Achilles’ tendon that
ended his season after only
six games. He still finished as
the team’s sacks leader with
eight.
Odom sat out practice on
Thursday with an illness that
has bothered him the past few
days, causing him to lose a lit-
tle weight. It’s unclear wheth-
er he’ll play in the preseason
opener on Sunday, the Hall of
Fame game in Canton, Ohio,
against the Dallas Cowboys.
He wants to get into a
game soon.
“I’m very eager,” Odom
said. “I can’t wait. I’m anx-
ious. It’s going to be a great
year for us. We’ve got a lot of
key additions to the team.”
None bigger than Odom,
who has been injured each
of his two seasons with the
Bengals. The defense finished
fourth in the NFL last season
without him but struggled to
get pressure on the quarter-
back at times.
The Bengals signed Odom
from Tennessee before the
2008 season, their major off-
season acquisition to help the
defense. He hurt his foot dur-
ing training camp and was
limited to eight starts and

GRIMM
from the University of
Pittsburgh in 1981, Grimm
became a starter as a rookie
and anchored the Hogs for the
next six years. There wasn’t a
more powerful left-side tan-
dem than Grimm and LT Joe
Jacoby. John Riggins always
had room to run and Redskins
quarterbacks mostly lived in a
cocoon of protection.
“You have to have good
people playing beside you,”
Grimm said. “I could have
been on a team that had los-
ing seasons and didn’t have
the caliber of players that I
had playing up front with me.
Those guys are a part of it.”
Grimm was a 3-time All-
Pro, went to four straight Pro
Bowls and was named to the
NFL’s All-Decade team for
the 1980s. Injuries began to
hamper his career in 1987
and a new generation of Hogs
gradually began to take over.
Still, he was mostly a starter
when healthy until his final
season in 1991, when he
earned a third Super Bowl
ring in his last game.
“He was one of the hard-
est guys I got after,” said
Joe Bugel, the offensive line
coach who gave the Hogs
their nickname. “He was the
leader and I wanted other
guys to see that Buges is
going to go after the leader.”
Given his reputation, it’s
easy to conjure up an image
of Grimm finding ways to
party after every win but he
actually would go to Bugel’s
house many Sunday nights
after the games. They’d watch
the tape, or just sit on the
back porch and talk through
everything that happened.
“We always said, ’Do you
want to be good or great?’
And he wanted to be great,”
Bugel said.
It’s only natural that Bugel
— the “Boss Hog” — will
be Grimm’s presenter at the
induction ceremonies. The
question remains: Will Bugel
get to do it again?
three sacks.
Healthy at the start of last
season, he emerged as one of
the NFL’s best at getting to
the passer. Odom had seven
sacks in the first two games,
an NFL record. He was tied
for the league lead with eight
sacks when he tore his right
Achilles’ tendon on Oct. 18.
A sign of how much the
Bengals missed him: Odom’s
eight sacks still led the team
at the end of the season.
Odom was well into
his rehabilitation when the
Bengals lost to the Jets in a
first-round playoff game. He
made it back ahead of sched-
ule and has no limitations in
training camp.
The defensive line got
sapped by injuries last sea-
son. Tackle Tank Johnson
was limited by plantar faciitis
in his right foot, which forced
him to miss two games and
slowed him in others. Domata
Peko missed five games with
injuries to both knees.
They’re healthy now.
The biggest question was
whether Odom would be
able to overcome an injury
that could cost a player some
quickness. He hasn’t had any
setbacks.
Odom has become a trend-
setter in training camp. Last
year, he brought a person-
al transport to get from his
dorm room to meeting rooms
and the practice field, zip-
ping past teammates on two
wheels. Quarterback Carson
Palmer bought transports for
his offensive linemen last
Christmas, so there is a lot
more traffic around the place.

For Saints, Jackson, wait
for HOF finally over
By BRETT MARTEL
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS —
Rickey Jackson’s fearsome
pass rush rarely came from
the blind side.
Quarterbacks usually
saw the “City Champ” com-
ing and many still couldn’t
escape his grasp.
Election to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame proved
somewhat more elusive for
the former Saints left out-
side linebacker, who was the
cornerstone of New Orleans’
famed “Dome Patrol” of the
late 1980s and early 90s.
On Saturday, 15 years
after his retirement, Jackson
will at last join contempo-
raries like Lawrence Taylor
and Andre Tippett, who have
already been immortalized in
Canton, Ohio.
“I felt for a long time that
the best strongside linebacker
wasn’t in the Hall of Fame,”
Jackson said of himself —
and in deference to Taylor, his
longtime friend who played
on the right side, which is
also the blind side for right-
handed quarterbacks. “But I
look back at it and say if I
would have gone in (earlier),
there would have been prob-
ably other stuff overshadow-
ing me going in.”
Rather than echoing Saints
fans’ bitterness about how
long it took him to be elected
to the Hall, Jackson said he’s
thankful to be celebrating his
induction at a time when his
personal life is straightened
out and his adopted home-

The Associated Press
BEREA — Linebacker
Chris Gocong isn’t the only
one at the Cleveland Browns’
training camp on an advanced
learning curve.
Head coach Eric Mangini
is quickly discovering that
Gocong’s versatility fits
into the aggressive schemes
devised by defensive coor-
dinator Rob Ryan. Instead of
being one of several lineback-
ers rotated in a 3-4 scheme,
the newcomer is using his
speed and agility to estab-
lish himself with the starting
unit.
“Throw me in there,
fine with me,” Gocong said
Thursday after another good
practice at inside linebacker.

By The Associated Press
DETROIT — Mark Kotsay hit a
two-run homer in the ninth inning,
then lined a two-run triple in the 11th
that sent the Chicago White Sox past
the Detroit Tigers 6-4 Thursday.
Detroit’s Ryan Raburn hit a
three-run homer with two outs in
the ninth off Bobby Jenks that made
it 4-all.
Sergio Santos (1-0) pitched two
scoreless innings for his first major
league win. Freddy Garcia pitched 6
2-3 strong innings for the AL Central
leaders.
Kotsay’s go-ahead triple came
off Jose Valverde (1-3). Brent
Lillibridge and Andruw Jones hit
one-out singles in the 11th before
Kotsay’s drive into the right-center
field gap.
Twins 8, Rays 6
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
Jason Kubel’s two-out popup hit a
catwalk high above Tropicana Field
and fell near the pitcher’s mound for
a go-ahead single in the ninth inning,
a true dome run that sent Minnesota
past Tampa Bay.
The Rays scored six times in the
eighth, capped by pinch-hitter Jason
Barlett’s grand slam.
Michael Cuddyer added a more
conventional RBI single off Joaquin
Benoit (0-1) later in the Twins’
ninth.
Matt Capps (1-0) pitched 1 1-3
innings for the win.
Orioles 5, Angels 4
BALTIMORE — Cesar Izturis
singled in the winning run in the
ninth inning and the Orioles remained
unbeaten under new manager Buck
Showalter, defeating Los Angeles
for a three-game sweep.
Matt Wieters led off the
ninth with a double off Francisco
Rodriguez (0-3). After pinch-runner
Julio Lugo took third on a bunt by
Corey Patterson, the Angels packed
the drawn-up infield with six play-
ers.
Izturis then lined a single up the
middle, sparking a wild celebration
by the Orioles around first base.
Jason Berken (3-2) got the win
despite giving up a three-run, game-
tying homer to Torii Hunter in the
town is basking in the glow
of his old team’s first Super
Bowl title.
As recently as August
2007, Jackson was listed
by the Louisiana Office of
Family Support as the state’s
No. 1 delinquent dad, owing
nearly $160,000 in child
support. Now, he no longer
appears on the agency’s list.
He talks of being more com-
mitted to his family and his
faith, and of being in a better
place personally than he has
been in years.
“You have to look at
everything as God’s timing,”
Jackson said. “With the stuff
I had to go through, He took
care of moving all that out
of the way, gave the Saints
the world championship and
gave me” election to the Hall
of Fame.
Still, his old teammates
say Jackson’s recognition in
Canton is long overdue.
“We always knew he
deserved to be in,” said for-
mer Saints right OLB Pat
Swilling, a member of the
Dome Patrol along with line-
backers Vaughn Johnson and
the late Sam Mills. “When
the Saints made this (Super
Bowl) run, it put pressure
on voters around the country
to give us our due. Ricky
should have been in the Hall
five years ago. The timing is
finally right for him and I’m
excited. All the Saints who
played with him are excited
about this as much as he is.”
Jackson played 15 seasons
in the NFL, his first 13 with
the Saints, making him the
coordinator and Mangini is
such a defensive-minded
coach, it’s just fun.”
Gocong enjoyed bat-
ting down a pass from Jake
Delhomme early in drills.
That set the tone for defen-
sive pressure that often left
the offense frustrated. Eric
Wright and Abram Elam
soon followed with intercep-
tions. Lineman Robaire Smith
picked off a tipped ball, too.
The offense resorted to
trickery from Seneca Wallace
and Josh Cribbs to gain some
points with the coaching
staff. Wallace, the backup to
Delhomme, fired a pinpoint
pass to wideout Cribbs in
the corner of the end zone.
That came a few moments
after Cribbs took the snap
and made a lateral pass to
Wallace, who ran it 20 yards

Red Sox 6, Indians 2
BOSTON — Daisuke Matsuzaka
pitched eight solid innings and
Adrian Beltre hit a grand slam to
lead the Red Sox.
Matsuzaka (8-3) allowed Shin-
Soo Choo’s 14th homer of the season
in the first but gave up just four more
hits and never faced more than four
batters in any inning.
Beltre connected for his 20th
homer in the fourth inning after Josh
Tomlin (1-1) retired Boston’s first 10
batters. Beltre took over the team’s
RBI lead with 75.
Jonathan Papelbon got his 26th
save in 31 opportunities when he
struck out Trevor Crowe with the
bases loaded for the final out.
Rangers 6, Mariners 0
SEATTLE — David Murphy
hit his second go-ahead home run
in two nights, this one to break
through against Felix Hernandez,
and Tommy Hunter resumed his
excellence for Texas.
Murphy drove in the game’s first
two runs with his seventh homer
of the season in the sixth. Hunter
(9-1) pitched 6 2-3 scoreless innings
against the worst offensive team in
the major leagues to up the Rangers’
lead in the AL West to a season
high-tying 8 1/2 games over the idle
Athletics.
Hernandez (7-9) lost his fourth
consecutive decision — even though
his ERA remained steady at 2.94,
sixth-lowest in the AL.
Seattle finished 0 for 12 with

MIAMI — Carlos Ruiz hom-
ered leading off the 10th inning,
and Philadelphia benefited from
an umpire’s bad call to complete a
three-game series sweep of Florida
with a 5-4 victory Thursday night.
A ruling by third base umpire
Bob Davidson cost the Marlins a
JACKSON
first Hall of Fame inductee to
have spent the majority of his
career in New Orleans.
When he retired, he’d
been chosen first-team All
Pro four times (second team
twice) and his 128 sacks
ranked third all-time. His
sack total did not include the
eight sacks Saints officials
say he had his rookie season,
a year before the NFL began
recording sacks as statistics.
After each sack, Jackson
would tuck his elbow next to
his No. 57 jersey and pump
his fist.
While he was known for
sacks, Jackson was an all-
around, every-down defend-
er, as former Saints quarter-
back Bobby Hebert recalled.
“People don’t realize how
good his coverage skills
were,” Hebert said. “He’d
cover a running back coming
out of the backfield or come
up and blow up a screen.
“Normally, when you look
at his numbers, you look at
to score.
Delhomme and Wallace
are expected to lend a spark
to Cleveland’s offense.
Gocong and 8-year defensive
back Sheldon Brown were
acquired from Philadelphia
to improve a defense that
ranked next-to-last in the
NFL in 2009.
“He is a really smart per-
son and player,” Mangini said
of Gocong, who missed only
one game the past three years
after sitting out the entire
2006 season because of a
herniated disc.
Mangini sees no effects of
that injury.
While hoping to move
into a starting role, Gocong is
most excited about getting a
chance to move in on oppos-
ing quarterbacks. He had 42
sacks in 41 games as a defen-
victory in the ninth. Gaby Sanchez
pulled a grounder over third base
for a hit that would have scored
Hanley Ramirez from second base,
but Davidson ruled the ball foul.
Marlins manager Edwin
Rodriguez argued in vain, and
replays showed ball landed inside
the line behind the base.
Ruiz, who had a two-run double
in the sixth, broke the tie in the 10th
with his fifth homer off Will Ohman
(0-1).
Brad Lidge worked the 10th for
his 12th save.
The Phillies scored twice in the
ninth with no outs to tie the game,
but they had three baserunners
thrown out in the inning.
Braves 3, Giants 2
ATLANTA — Eric Hinske
snapped an 0-for-17 hitless streak
with a tiebreaking, sixth-inning
home run off San Francisco’s Tim
Lincecum.
Alex Gonzalez hit a two-run
homer in the second inning — his
second as a Brave — for the other
runs off Lincecum (11-5).
Jair Jurrjens (4-4) went six
innings for the Braves, allowing
seven hits, two runs and three walks.
Billy Wagner picked up his 26th
save with a scoreless ninth.
Lincecum, who had won six of
his seven previous starts against
Atlanta, gave up six hits and three
runs in 6 1-3 innings.
The NL East-leading Braves,
who have won three of four, own
the best home record in the majors
at 37-14.
Pirates 5, Rockies 1
PITTSBURGH — James
McDonald pitched six shutout
innings in his Pittsburgh debut and
Colorado lost its seventh straight
road game.
Five days after being acquired
from the Los Angeles Dodgers along
with a minor leaguer for closer
Octavio Dotel, McDonald (1-1) had
eight strikeouts — as many as any
Pirates starter had all season. He
allowed four hits and a walk in his
second start of the season and sixth
of his career.

sacks, but I don’t know if
you had anyone better as far
as run defense. I was most
impressed with his overall
toughness and how he could
handle double teams from
tight ends and tackles and
keep his lane and keep con-
tainment.”
Jackson’s reputation for
toughness was cemented both
on and off the field. After a
game in 1989, Jackson was
dri8The Saints were com-
ing off a 1-15 season when
they selected Jackson in the
second round of the 1981
draft out of Pittsburgh, where
Jackson played end along
with Hugh Green.
Rather than lamenting the
fact that he’d start his pro
career with an NFL laugh-
ingstock that had never had
a winning season when he
arrived, Jackson said, “I
thought I was going to be the
best defensive player in the
league and turn everything
around. That’s the only atti-
tude you can have.”
That approach was in
character for someone who
gave himself the City Champ
nickname when he was a
3-sport standout — football,
basketball (power forward)
and baseball (first base) — in
his native Pahokee, Fla.
Sure enough, the Saints
went to the playoffs for the
first time — and three more
times — while Jackson was
their top defensive star.
Jackson never won a play-
off game with New Orleans
but spent the last two years of
his career with San Francisco,
where he won a Super Bowl.
sive end in college but has
only four in 47 NFL games.
In his final game for
Philadelphia, Gocong sacked
Dallas quarterback Tony
Romo in the playoffs. The
big play was no surprise to
Brown, who while with the
Eagles predicted a Pro Bowl
trip in Gocong’s future.
Gocong is more inter-
ested in helping the Browns
improve upon a 5-11 record
and establish a defensive
presence in the AFC North.
Gocong believes Ryan is
just the man to assemble the
parts into a dominating unit.
Cleveland fans enjoyed the
Browns’ attacking defense
that produced 40 sacks last
year, most by the team since
2001. Gocong and newcom-
er, Scott Fujita, hope to add
to that total.
Troy Tulowitzki had the lone
RBI and three of the Rockies’ seven
hits — all singles. Colorado had won
five of its past six since snapping an
eight-game losing streak.
Jones snapped an 0-for-20 stretch
by leading off the second against Jeff
Francis (4-4) with his team-leading
15th homer and third in his past three
games against the Rockies.
Diamondbacks 8, Nationals 4
PHOENIX — Kelly Johnson and
Adam LaRoche both had three hits,
and Arizona’s Barry Enright over-
came two of Washington’s four solo
homers in six solid innings.
The Diamondbacks struck out 12
times to eclipse 1,000 for the season,
offsetting that with 13 hits and Justin
Upton’s two RBIs to earn a split of
the four-game series.
Enright (3-2) gave up solo hom-
ers to Adam Kennedy in the third
inning and Ryan Zimmerman in the
fifth, but little else to earn the win
after two tough no-decisions.
Zimmerman added another solo
homer off Esmerling Vasquez to
follow Roger Bernadina’s the inning
before, but the Nationals couldn’t
overcome a shaky start from Ross
Detwiler (0-2), who allowed seven
runs and nine hits in four innings.
Padres 5, Dodgers 0
LOS ANGELES — Kevin
Correia and four relievers combined
on the shutout as San Diego salvaged
a split of the four-game series.
Correia (8-7) allowed four hits
over 5 2-3 innings and did not strike
out a batter in his 100th major league
start.
Luke Gregerson gave up two
two-out singles in the eighth before
Heath Bell got the final four outs for
his 31st save.
The Padres lowered their major
league-leading ERA to 3.28. Their
bullpen leads the majors with a 2.79
mark.
Chad Billingsley (9-6) gave
up three runs and seven hits over
six innings. He extended his score-
less innings streak to 25 before San
Diego grabbed a 3-0 lead in the
fourth. Chase Headley and Adrian
Gonzalez hit consecutive RBI sin-
gles and Tony Gwynn Jr. added a
sacrifice fly.

Shocking words to the Presbyterians

Anyone who attends one of the national TERRY MATTINGLY today, there are more than 1,500. He thanked and different morals?”
church assemblies that dot the calendar every the assembly for its kindness and hospitality. The priest closed with a quote from St.

summer knows that they are highly ritualized
affairs.
Officers will be elected.
Political issues will be discussed. Lofty
resolutions will be passed.
At least one long business session will
include a proposal about clergy benefits and
salaries.
In recent decades, gatherings in the “seven
sisters” of mainline Protestantism have also --
to varying degrees -- featured battles over sex.
These flocks are, in descending order of size,
the United Methodist Church, the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.), the Episcopal Church, the
American Baptist Churches USA, the United
Church of Christ and the Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ).
But as the hours pass, veterans know that
they can take breaks whenever the word
“greeting” appears in the agenda, marking a
polite mini-speech by a visiting civic leader or
religious dignitary.
But something unusual happened recently
during the 219th General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). An official “ec-
umenical advisory delegate” -- Father Siarhei
On
Religion
Hardun of the Orthodox Church of Belarus
-- used his moment at the podium to deliver
a message that was courteous and stunning at
the same time, if not genuinely offensive to
many in the audience.
“Frankly, he was pretty sly about what he
said and how he said it,” noted the Rev. Car-
men S. Fowler, president of the conservative
Presbyterian Lay Committee. “People are used
to dozing off during these greetings, so this
caught them off guard. ... Most of the General
Assembly yawned its way through the most
provocative moment of the whole event.”
Speaking in clear, but careful, English,
Hardun thanked the Presbyterians for the eco-
nomic aid that helped Orthodox churches in his
land rebuild social ministries after decades of
bloody communist persecution. Only 20 years
ago, he noted, there were 370 parishes left and,
However, the Orthodox priest ended by of-
fering his take on the assembly’s debates as
it prepared for another attempt to modernize
Christian doctrines on sexuality. Shortly be-
fore his “greeting,” the commissioners voted
373-323 to approve, for the fifth time in two
decades, the ordination of noncelibate gays
and lesbians. Regional presbyteries must now
approve the measure, which is the stage at
which previous efforts were defeated -- by in-
creasingly smaller margins.
“Christian morality is as old as Christian-
ity itself. It doesn’t need to be invented now.
Those attempts to invent new morality look
for me like attempts to invent a new religion
-- a sort of modern paganism,” said Hardun,
drawing scattered applause.
“When people say that they are led and
guided by the Holy Spirit to do it, I wonder if it
is the same Holy Spirit that inspired the Bible,
if it is the same Holy Spirit that inspires the
Holy Orthodox Church not to change anything
in Christian doctrine and moral standards. But
if it is the same Spirit, I wonder ... if there are
different spirits acting in different denomina-
tions and inspiring them to develop in differ-
ent directions and to create different theologies
Paul, urging the Presbyterians: “Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind.”
Later in that business day, a slim 51 percent
of the assembly voted to defeat a proposal to
redefine marriage as a holy covenant between
“two people,” rather than one between “a man
and a woman.”
General Assembly moderator Cindy Bol-
bach -- an outspoken advocate of the gay-
rights measures -- offered no comment what-
soever about Hardun’s remarks when he left
the podium, but quickly moved on to other
business. However, before her election she
urged her church not to fear the repercussions
of an era of change. The denomination has lost
half of its members since the 1960s.
“We have to learn how to proclaim the Gos-
pel in a multicultural age where Christianity is
no longer at the center,” she said. “We have to
learn how to tell people who have grown sus-
picious of institutions why an institution like
the P.C. (U.S.A.) can be of value to them. ...
And we have to accept the loss of the church
we have always known -- as the church trans-
forms itself into something new.”

Al-Qaida leader knows US well

MIAMI (AP) — A suspected al-Qaida
operative who lived for more than 15 years
in the U.S. has become chief of the terror
network’s global operations, the FBI says,
marking the first time a leader so intimately
familiar with American society has been
placed in charge of planning attacks.
Adnan Shukrijumah, 35, has taken over
a position once held by 9/11 mastermind
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was captured
in 2003, Miami-based FBI counterterrorism
agent Brian LeBlanc told The Associated Press
in an exclusive interview. That puts him in reg-
ular contact with al-Qaida’s senior leadership,
including Osama bin Laden, LeBlanc said.
Shukrijumah (SHOOK’-ree joohm-HAH’)
and two other leaders were part of an “exter-
nal operations council” that designed and
approved terrorism plots and recruits, but his
two counterparts were killed in U.S. drone
attacks, leaving Shukrijumah as the de facto
chief and successor to Mohammed — his
former boss.
“He’s making operational decisions is the
best way to put it,” said LeBlanc, the FBI’s
lead Shukrijumah investigator. “He’s look-
ing at attacking the U.S. and other Western
countries. Basically through attrition, he has
become his old boss.”
The FBI has been searching for Shukrijumah
since 2003. He is thought to be the only al-
Qaida leader to have once held permanent
U.S. resident status, or a green card.
Shukrijumah was named earlier this year in
a federal indictment as a conspirator in the case
against three men accused of plotting suicide
bomb attacks on New York’s subway system
in 2009. The indictment marked the first crimi-
nal charges against Shukrijumah, who previ-
ously had been sought only as a witness.
Shukrijumah is also suspected of playing
a role in plotting of potential al-Qaida bomb
attacks in Norway and a never-executed attack
on subways in the United Kingdom, but
LeBlanc said no direct link has yet emerged.
Travel records and other evidence also indi-
cate Shukrijumah did research and surveil-
lance in spring 2001 for a never-attempted
plot to disrupt commerce in the Panama Canal
by sinking a freighter there, LeBlanc said.
Shukrijumah, who trained at al-Qaida’s
Afghanistan camps in the late 1990s, was
labeled a “clear and present danger” to the
U.S. in 2004 by then-Attorney General John
Ashcroft. The U.S. is offering a $5 million
reward for information leading to his capture
and the FBI also is releasing an age-enhanced
photo of what he may look like today.
It’s natural he would focus on attacking on
the U.S, LeBlanc said.
“He knows how the system works. He
knows how to get a driver’s license. He
knows how to get a passport,” LeBlanc said.
Shukrijumah’s mother, Zurah Adbu
Ahmed, said Thursday on the front stoop of
her small home in suburban Miramar, Fla.,
that her son frequently talked about what he
considered the excesses of American society
— such as alcohol and drug abuse and women
wearing skimpy clothes — but that he did not
condone violence. She also said she has not
had contact with her son for several years.
“This boy would never do evil stuff. He is
not an evil person,” she said. “He loved this
country. He never had a problem with the
United States.”
LeBlanc said the new charges were
brought after the New York subway bomb
suspects identified him to investigators as
their al-Qaida superior. The New York sus-
pects provided other key information about
his al-Qaida status.
“It was basically Adnan who convinced
them to come back to the United States and
do this attack,” LeBlanc said. “His ability to
manipulate someone like that and direct that,
I think it speaks volumes.”
Before turning to radical strains of Islam,
Shukrijumah lived in Miramar with his mother
and five siblings, excelling at computer science
and chemistry courses while studying at com-
munity college. He had come to South Florida
in 1995 when his father, a Muslim cleric and
missionary trained in Saudi Arabia, decided to
take a post at a Florida mosque after several
years at a mosque in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Jobs bill brings some hope to teachers

ATLANTA (AP) — Dave
