2012 U.S. Paralympic Team announced
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The United States Olympic Committee today announced the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team that will compete in the upcoming London 2012 Paralympic Games, Aug. 29-Sept. 9. The 227-member team, which includes six guides for visually impaired athletes, is comprised of 133 men and 94 women.
"When the 2012 London Olympic Games come to a close on Sunday, the eyes of the world will turn to the Paralympic Games and the more than 4,000 athletes competing. Each of the 227 Americans named to the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team today are ready to captivate the world, on and off the field of play, just as our Olympians have," USOC Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun said. "Our Paralympians embody what it means to be an American. They will compete with the pride and honor that is inherent in representing the United States of America, inspiring Americans young and old with their stories of triumph."
American athletes will compete in 19 sports contested throughout the 11 days of competition. The sports are archery, boccia, cycling, equestrian, goalball, judo, powerlifting, rowing, sailing, shooting, sitting volleyball, soccer seven-a-side, swimming, table tennis, track and field, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair fencing and wheelchair tennis. At the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, Team USA claimed a total of 99 medals, finishing third overall.
Among the members of the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team are 19 athletes who won multiple medals at the last Games including swimmer Jessica Long (Baltimore, Md.), who co-led the U.S. Paralympic Team with six medals in Beijing, and wheelchair racer Jessica Galli (Hillsborough Township, N.J.), who captured five medals. Long claimed four of her career seven gold medals in 2008 while Galli claimed the women's 400-meter (T53) title.
The team also includes 20 U.S. military veterans and active duty service members, some of whom were wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Navy Lieutenant Bradley Snyder, who lost his vision in September 2011 while serving in Afghanistan, is among the American athletes with military ties. Snyder is slated to compete in swimming on the one year anniversary of his injury.
The London 2012 Paralympic Games will be the largest edition of the Games yet, with an estimated 4,200 participating athletes, up from the 3,951 who competed in Beijing. Athletes from 165 countries will compete in London, which is representation from 19 more nations than in Beijing.
The 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team roster may still be adjusted due to injury, illness or exceptional circumstances up to the technical meetings for each sport. For the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team roster by sport, click here or click here for a roster by state (athlete's recognized hometown).

In the track and field competition at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the United States will be represented by 58 athletes, including four guide athletes, making it the largest sport delegation for Team USA.
Three athletes set world records at the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Trials – Track and Field in Indianapolis en route to spots on the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team. Raymond Martin (Jersey City, N.J.) set the 30.18 world mark in the men's 200m (T52) while Galli set a new world mark in the women's 200m (T53) with a time of 28.93. In the women's shot put (F56), Angela Madsen (Long Beach, Calif.), a former Paralympic rower and Marine Corps veteran, threw a 9.30m. Last month, Blake Leeper (Kingston, Tenn.) tied the world record in the men's 100m (T43) while competing in Canada.
Tatyana McFadden (Clarksville, Md.), a wheelchair racer who won four medals at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, is joined on the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team by her sister younger Hannah, who is making her Games debut. It is the first time sisters have raced against each other for Team USA.
At the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Swimming Trials, a total of 99 American, 37 Pan American and 12 world records were set at the Bismarck State College Aquatic and Wellness Center; Long set four of the world records achieved in Bismarck.
After representing the U.S. in table tennis at the 1984 Stoke Mandeville Paralympic Games, both Pamela Fontaine (North Brunswick, N.J.) and Tara Profitt (Berlin, Conn.) retired from the sport. After being apart for about 20 years, the team reunited in December 2008, and will return to the Paralympic Games in London.
Rrower Dorian Weber (Brighton, Mass.) will have a homecoming of sorts when he makes his debut at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Born in Manhasset, N.Y., he grew up an hour outside of London in Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom, but now lives in Massachusetts.
Aimee Mullins will serve as the Chef de Mission for the U.S. Paralympic Team at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. President of the Women's Sports Foundation from 2007-08 and a current trustee for the organization, Mullins made a groundbreaking achievement at Georgetown University where she competed as the first-ever amputee on an NCAA Division I track team. A member of the 1996 U.S. Paralympic Team, she set world records in the 100 meters, 200m and long jump during her career.

A résumé that includes the founding of snark godfather Spy magazine, time spent as editor-in-chief of New York magazine and the creation and hosting of a Peabody Award-winning public radio program ("Studio 360") probably brings to mind a very Manhattan sort of sophistication. But Kurt Andersen, claimer of all these credits and more, including a new novel called "True Believers," has lived in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn for the past 22 years with his wife, writer Anne Kreamer. "We were about to have a second kid, and we were in this small two-bedroom apartment in the East Village, at the height of the crack epidemic," says Andersen, 57. "I'd almost never been to Brooklyn. In a desperate effort to stay in the city, we said, let's check it out. And we fell in love." This is his New York. —
1. E. Buk Antiques, 151 Spring St., No. 2
A very peculiar place. If you're into it, you'll be really into it, as I am. This guy named Eli Buk sells antiques on an upper floor. I've been there probably a dozen times buying presents, and I've never seen anyone else there. You have to make an appointment to get in.I've never been in a shop so packed with stuff — like, weird medical devices, scientific instruments, photographs, posters. It's fantastic, in every sense. One thing I bought there was this thing you would carry around as a cane or a walking stick if you were a hunter. It unfolded into a little seat, and had a dagger in it.
2. Governors Island
We went there for some special event about two years ago, and just fell in love with it. It gives you different views of this city that is so familiar. [When I'm there, I think], "Wow — here I am in New York City, in a park among these old buildings, and I'm seeing Manhattan and Brooklyn from different views than I've ever had." I've been here forever, and suddenly, whoa, no I haven't. I've become an evangelist for Governors Island the last couple of years.
3. The Waverly Inn, 16 Bank St.
When my wife and I first met in the late '70s, if we wanted to go out to dinner and really have a nice time, we would go to this old, crummy, charming, funky place, the Waverly Inn, and have pot roast and other stuff. So it was one of the places we went as kids, and then my friend Graydon Carter took it over a few years ago and turned it into the restaurant it is now. Because he's my friend, I can get reservations easily. He turned it into this sort of dream version of an old restaurant that's been there forever, so I like going there and getting the salmon, the chicken pot pie or the short ribs. And a big martini as well.
4. The Good Fork, 391 Van Brunt St., Red Hook
It's everything a neighborhood restaurant should be — it's small and cozy and ship-like. The Good Fork has hamburgers and things, but it's ambitious. The chef is Korean-American, so there's kimchi. It's sort of an odd fusion of Red Hooky things like fried oysters, with kimchi on the side. Sometimes they have fried sweetbreads. On almost any menu, that's one of those things that I can't not order.
5. Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th St., Greenwood Heights
When my wife and I were children, we both would drive around cemeteries with our parents at night. We started doing that with our kids, just going over to Green-Wood. It's beautifully kept up, and it's New York, so there are famous people, too. You could go see Horace Greeley, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Leonard Bernstein's graves. Although neither of us had ever thought about having our remains in a cemetery, we are now thinking that maybe that's a good idea. I guess we're gonna live in Brooklyn forever.
6. Montero's Bar and Grill, 73 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn Heights
I realized, once I made this list, that they're all kind of time-travel places. Montero's is like you're walking into 1940. It's an old longshoreman's or dockworker's bar that hasn't changed a bit since I've lived here, but I don't think it had changed between 1945 and 1990 either. If you were designing a set for an Arthur Miller play, you could just pull this place and put it onstage. People call it a dive bar, and I suppose it is, but I just love going there and having a beer with friends. It's fantastic — as rich with character as you could want a New York bar to be.
7. Pratt Institute Steam Turbine Power Plant, 200 Willoughby Ave., Clinton Hill
They have this steam-engine room that, when it was built at the turn of the 20th century, it made electricity for Pratt. And it still operates. It's just as it must have been in 1900, with all these steam engines and big levers and meters still operating. They say it's the oldest continually operating thing like this in America. I just love it. It's mind-blowing.
Bottom Three
Who are the most absurd people in NYC right now, and why?
* The person who opened the shop in Brooklyn devoted to artisanal mayonnaise, which reminds me of the brilliant 1978 "SNL" sketch about the shop that sells nothing but Scotch tape.
* The artist Richard Prince (even though he's technically moved upstate) because he hasn't pushed the ball a foot further than Andy Warhol had it 40 years ago but gets millions of dollars for each piece he makes.
And Donald Trump, who requires no explanation.

Shinn Fu Company of America, Inc.
Minimum Advertised Price Policy – U.S.A.
As a leading innovator of automotive accessories, SFA is proud of its role in pioneering new products, designs, and innovative production methods that reduce costs and improve the quality of products in our industry.
We recognize that our high-quality dealers invest time and resources to deliver an extraordinary customer experience through knowledgeable staff and compelling vendor presentation. To support these efforts, SFA wishes to establish policies that allow resellers to earn the profits necessary to maintain the high level of customer excellence people have come to expect from SFA dealers and also maintain the high level of perceived quality for SFA products in the marketplace.
As a result, SFA has unilaterally adopted a MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICE POLICY ("MAP Policy"). This MAP Policy is aimed at assuring that the perceived value of SFA products remains high which also supports the perception of SFA's brands, reputation and competitiveness.
Therefore, in its unilateral discretion, SFA will not do business with any reseller or distributor, as to the products covered by this MAP Policy, if that reseller intentionally advertises any MAP Product below its MAP price or sells product covered by the MAP Policy to downstream resellers who have not agreed to follow the MAP Policy. As further noted below,
MAP Policy Guidelines and Requirements:
These policies apply to all U.S. and Canadian customers who resell the SFA products listed in Exhibit 1. The MAP policy applies only to advertised prices and does not apply to the price at which the products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual consumer within the dealer's location, over the telephone or through a "bid" process. "Downstream Reseller" means one of your customers who resell the SFA Products covered by this MAP Policy. This MAP Policy does not prohibit SFA's customers or their Downstream Resellers from selling covered SFA products at any price they choose. It simply means that advertised price must conform to this MAP Policy. SFA is confident that this program will strengthen its competitiveness and benefit all of its distributors and resellers..

In the opening game on Saturday, the Bulldogs struck for two runs in the third and added three more in the fourth en route to the 5-1 triumph. Ferris State posted eight hits to four for the Cardinals.
Junior pitcher Dana Bowler tossed all seven innings of game one and struck out nine SVSU hitters while walking two in registering the four-hit victory.
FSU's designated player Amy Dunleavy posted two hits, scored two runs and drove in two more in the opener for the Bulldogs. She also notched her seventh double of the campaign while catcher Liz Hamming blasted her ninth homer of the year.
Alexa Gehris took the loss in the circle for Saginaw Valley State after giving up all five runs and seven hits to go with four walks and only two strikeouts. Kayla Kazmierski pitched the final two and one-third innings of relief and allowed only a single hit. Jordan Randall accounted for the Cardinals' lone RBI of game one and had two hits to pace SVSU, including a double.
In the nightcap, FSU again built a 5-1 advantage with two runs in the third, a single run in the fifth and two more in the sixth.
Ferris State took its 5-1 lead into the Cardinals' final at-bat in the bottom of the seventh and had two outs against Saginaw Valley State when Lindsay Hayward hit a grand slam homer to tie up the contest and force extra innings.
FSU wasted little time regaining the advantage in the eighth. Lainee Clay hit an RBI single to account for the initial run and Lindsey Pettit followed with a two RBI shot to center field as FSU posted three runs on four hits in the frame to build an 8-5 lead.
Again, Saginaw Valley State made things interesting as the Cardinals answered with two runs and had the bases loaded with Hayward again at the plate with two outs. This time, however, she flew out to left field to end the contest as FSU prevailed.
Bowler led the effort in the circle again as she tossed the first seven and one-third innings of the second game to follow up on her first game performance. She had seven strikeouts and walked three while giving up 10 hits. Emily Carlson came on in relief to pick up the final two outs and had both a strikeout and a walk.
Senior Makenzi Peterson tallied three hits in game two with Pettit, senior first baseman Chelsea Morris and senior outfielder Stephanie Dusendang notching two hits each. Pettit accounted for three RBI's while Morgan Kramerich and Morris both had two each.
In the second game, the Bulldogs received a pair of home runs as both Morris and Pettit had one apiece in the outing. Kramerich also recorded her sixth double of the year.
FSU outhit SVSU 12-10 in game two as the Bulldogs registered seven hits off of starter Jillian Williamson and five off of Kazmierski in relief. Williamson threw six innings and posted five strikeouts compared to Kazmierski's three K's in two frames.
SVSU was led at the plate by Hayward's four RBI's on three hits in game two. However, the Cardinals left nine runners on base in the second game to only two for the Bulldogs.
Saturday's doubleheader represented FSU's annual "Senior Day" contest as the Bulldogs honored the senior trio of Peterson, Morris and Dusendang prior to the opening game. The three seniors will play their final two scheduled regular-season contests at home on Sunday as FSU wraps up the league series versus Saginaw Valley State.
Ferris State improved to 25-21 overall along with 16-12 in the GLIAC by virtue of Saturday's sweep. Meanwhile, the Cardinals dropped to 18-24 overall and 11-17 in conference action.

The most interesting man in the world is holding afternoon court at an outdoor restaurant overlooking a postcard-perfect turquoise stretch of Caribbean Sea. In the span of 15 minutes, he will speak eloquently about everything from historic preservation and the merits of nuclear energy to government corruption and his favorite menu items.
If he seems right at home—even with water in hand instead of beer with XX on its label—that's because he is.
The Sandton Kurá Hulanda Lodge & Beach Club, a lush 74-suite retreat on the northern tip of Curaçao, is one of two properties on the island funded by the Jade Foundation and co-creator Jacob Gelt Dekker, whose real-life background makes the fictional Dos Equis spokesman look like an assembly line worker at a paper clip factory.
The Netherlands native with rugged, Redford-esque looks maintains residences at both the Beach Club and its sister property, the Kurá Hulanda Hotel & Spa—an eight-block village in the capital city of Willemstad—along with home bases in Key West, New York and Amsterdam. The official bio on Dekker, 65, suggests that he has "circumnavigated the world more than 50 times," but it's this tropical outpost just 40 miles north of the Venezuelan coast that has captured the entrepreneur's fancy.

For some, the idea of watching the Coen Brother's "True Grit" on anything less than a 20-foot screen is blasphemous. There's no way those gorgeous and lovingly-crafted shots of America's great wide open could play at home. Well, we're here to say that…that's true. They don't play as well, even with crystal clear Blu-ray crispness doing everything it possible can. But the home-viewing experience does force you to focus on the quieter, less obviously eye-catching parts of "Grit," and that's where the movie's true beauty lies.
"True Grit," of course, is writers/directors Joel and Ethan Coen's adaptation of the 1968 Charles Portis novel. It tells the story of a young girl named Mattie Ross who hires a burnt-out U.S. Marshall named Rooster Cogburn and a loquacious Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf to help her hunt down and kill a man named Tom Chaney, who murdered her father in cold blood. The novel was originally adapted in 1969, with John Wayne in the Cogburn role.
Obviously, the stance "True Grit is a really good movie" is hardly a controversial one, but explaining why has always been a little tougher. The performances, across the board, are great, but not in a way that makes for easy Oscar clip editing (which might explain why "True Grit" was shut-out). Newcomer Hailee Steinfeld gets the most grandiose speeches, but it's the way she visibly steels herself when faced with opposition - her clenched jaw should have gotten a Supporting Actor nod of its own - that completely sells the idea of a 14 year-old girl being one of the toughest hombres in the Old West. By the same token, how do you easily sell Jeff Bridges' take on drunken manhunter Cogburn? The way he lets words kind of spill out of his mouth like half-chewed food…until, that is, he means business. Then his drunk bear growl suddenly snaps into action hero focus. And the Coens being the Coens, they couldn't help but let Matt Damon essentially play LaBoeuf as a Matthew McConaughey impression - but Damon salvages what could have been a complete joke by making every verbal slight LaBoeuf receives from both Cogburn and Ross sting him like a slap in the face.
The other element that seemed to get downplayed in the Oscar push is just how funny "True Grit" is - but, again, funny in a way that isn't quotable (there's no "the Dude abides" or "gimme that baby, you warthog from hell" to be found here) but totally deadpan and all in the details. It's Damon playing LaBoeuf with a speech impediment for half the movie. It's Cogburn casually booting a small Native boy off his porch for abusing a donkey. It's Josh Brolin's murderous idiot Chaney begging his buddies not to leave him behind. "True Grit" is a movie of tiny details and small moments masquerading as a big screen epic - but never once do the Coens make fun of the western genre. This is an honest-to-god western through and through. The easiest comparison we can make is "Shaun of the Dead" - it's a zombie movie that happens to be funny, it is not a zombie movie spoof. Nailing that distinction is tough, but essential.
Naturally, given the gorgeous cinematography on display, Blu-ray is recommended if you have the capabilities. The movie's shift from dark candle-lit interiors to broad, sunny outdoors begs for digital clarity. Although "True Grit" continues the Coen tradition of not exactly exerting themselves when it comes to bonus material (two of the better featurettes focus on Steinfeld and the movie's set design, but neither are anything more than typical EPK clips), they do offer a tribute to Portis that is highly recommended.
But perhaps the best thing we can say about "True Grit" is this - we'll almost certainly be watching it again. We're not sure we can say that about "King's Speech."

Find the perfect boats for Sabine and Keith lakes
Searching for the perfect saltwater fishing boat can be downright confusing. The top two questions center on two problems. First, do you want to have a boat with shallow running capabilities? Second, are you in the market for a boat that will fish two to four fishermen comfortably on the open bays, in the surf and at the jetties?
The problem with fishing places like Sabine Lake and Keith Lake is that you need different types of boats. On Sabine, it's almost always best to run with a big and roomy center console. This is the type of boat that handles open and often rough water safely. It can also be used to run the surf, make short offshore trips and fish the jetties.
Conversely, on the type of shallow water you'll find at Keith Lake and in Bessie Heights marsh, you'll definitely do best with a shallow running aluminum boat. The average water depth on Keith Lake is 2 to 3 feet. But if you want to access the backwater flats of Keith Lake and the Louisiana side of Sabine Lake, you need a lightweight shallow running skiff with a tunnel.
The most popular center consoles boats on Sabine are Skeeter, Nautic Star, Pathfinder and Key West. Center console boats from 20 to 24 feet in length are the most popular. The bigger the better when fishing open water on East Galveston Bay and Sabine Lake. But keep in mind that the bigger the boat, the more horsepower you'll need to travel from point A to point B. And that translates into more gas. Something like a 22-foot Nautic Star is perfect for running the bays. It'll handle up to 150 horsepower.
Another option is to run an 18-foot center console that can be powered with something like a 90 horsepower four stroke Yamaha. The Yamaha four strokes from 90 to 150 horsepower get excellent fuel economy. That's a very important factor to consider with the price of gas averaging over $3 per gallon.
If you're looking to escape the big water and get away from numbers of anglers, my recommendation is to buy a shallow running flat bottom, aka a skiff. One of the greatest escapes you'll find here in Southeast Texas is on Keith Lake. You can put in at Junior's ramp, crank the engine and run completely out of sight of civilization. The backwater lakes seem to run forever. On Keith Lake, you have the option of drifting or fishing with a trolling motor on the open flats. But if you're into putting a lure or fly on a tailing red, you'll need a lightweight boat that can be poled in 8 to 12 inches of water.
When fishing skinny water, a lightweight aluminum boat with a tunnel is an economical option. A 14- to 17-footer will run all day with a 25-horsepower outboard and use only a few gallons of gas. If you really want to get shallow add a jack plate to the equation.
Of course, price is a factor when choosing a boat. The big center console rigs will easily run $25,000 to $45,000. That's a major expense. But you've got to consider the fun it will deliver. With the center console you can fish a lot of water. On Sabine Lake, that includes fishing the short rigs near the Sabine jetties, offshore, the bay and up the Neches and Sabine rivers. That adds up to miles upon miles of water.
An aluminum boat, with a 25 horsepower engine will cost in the neighborhood of $6,000 to $14,000, depending on how much it's tricked out with seats, center or side console, welded deck, live well, bow storage and polling platform. Don't forget the trolling motor and a push pole. It adds up in a hurry. But once you've got aluminum boat rigged up, it'll last forever.
Last week I stopped by the Houston boat show and looked at what might be the perfect jon boat for Keith Lake and Sabine Lake. It was a center console 16-foot Alumacraft with a tunnel. The hull weight is 475 pounds. It was powered with a four stroke 50 horsepower Yamaha. The boat show sale price was right around $15,000.
Of course, if you're addicted to fishing both open water and back water flats like me, you're going to need two boats, which is what I have. It's kind of a pain having to keep two boats and two trailers operating, but on the flip side I've got the options of fishing just about anywhere I choose on any given day.
By the way, with the economy the way it is and gas prices in the stratosphere, you might check out some of the many boat dealer discounts on new and use boats. There are some very good deals to be had out there right now.

Grains and oilseeds were stronger to start the week except for new crop corn. December corn closed 3 cents lower at $5.32 and is still in the same range it was last week. Wheat held strong support from Chinese interest and freeze worries in the US.
A wire story reported that the CNGOIC confirmed the sale of 14-16 cargoes of US SRW to China last week. Still no confirmations were made from the USDA yet during the 8am announcements; maybe the sales have been slow to report. HRW also found support from the chances for freeze damage on Wednesday and Thursday. Front month corn likely found support from wheat but has trailed its rally. May corn is now trading at a 79 cent discount to May Chicago wheat after trading at a high of 15 ¼ cents over less than a month ago!
May Corn – May Wheat Spread
Fund positioning has a lot to do with these major moves. The "managed money" had been aggressively buying corn in the weeks leading up to the March 28th reports. The latest Commitment of Traders report shows that the "managed money" net long corn position dropped by 98,245 contracts as of Tuesday, April 2nd! Why is this important? For one it can help explain why every small rally corn has had was immediately met with heavy sell pressure… a huge underwater position has been trying to GET OUT. Now that the funds are liquidating (or have liquidated), which group is going to step in to support or even rally this market again? End users are coming back into profitability but rebuilding demand is a slow process, especially on the livestock side. The northern hemisphere has had excellent wheat growing conditions while South American corn and soybean production is expected to be substantially higher than last year. The bottom line is we don't expect prices to trend higher unless we see another weather event. In fact, we expect new crop corn and soybean prices to trend lower as more uncertainty is priced out of the market as time goes on. On Wednesday the USDA will release the April Supply and Demand report. The average guess is calling for corn carryout to be 812, soybean carryout 136, and wheat carryout 727. We will have our long term analysis in tomorrow's letter including our own 2013 Supply and Demand estimates and price projections. For now we want to stay with our current hedge recommendations. Have a great week!

Part of the reason why Roger Clemens was such a successful pitcher in the major leagues was because he never backed down from any hitter trying to beat him in a big spot. He was always confident in his abilities and always sure that his best would beat anyone else's, so he just let the speedball fly and dealt with whatever happened next.
Real life isn't baseball, though, and that same mentality is why Clemens finds himself facing an indictment for perjury. It won't be long before Clemens turns himself in for a mug shot, fingerprinting and everything else that comes with being charged with lying to the United States Congress.
At some point we'll hear from Clemens or from his attorneys and it's a good bet that they will disparage the honesty of Brian McNamee, question the motives of the prosecution and basically point a finger at everyone but the Rocket for creating this situation. It's a shame because a little introspection would have gone a long way for Clemens.
If Clemens had simply issued a short, terse denial of steroid use in the aftermath of the release of the Mitchell Report in 2007 we wouldn't be here right now. If he (or better yet, his lawyer) had simply said that he knew the truth and would let the record speak for itself, we wouldn't be here right now. Some people would have believed him and some would have gone the other way but there's almost no chance he'd be facing an indictment.
Instead, Clemens immediately went to the mattresses. He sued McNamee, his former trainer, for defamation even though it is extremely difficult to prove such cases when they involve a celebrity. He did every interview he could and made as much noise as humanly possible to draw attention to his denials. He played recorded phone conversations and sponsored volumes of statistical analysis in an attempt to clear his name. Ultimately, he created such a ruckus that Congress stepped in and started us down the road to the indictment.
Good people can and do disagree about what role, if any, Congress should have had in these proceedings but such arguments are moot now. They did get involved, the stakes were raised and Clemens still refused to yield or measure his words enough to avoid an investigation. Is there any doubt that had Clemens merely denied the report and moved on with his life that Congress would have done the same?
Now, though, Clemens has become a pariah. He's thrown his wife under the bus, accused former friend and teammate Andy Pettitte of being a liar without a shred of rationale and he's seen all kinds of dirty laundry from his private life aired for the world to see. You'd never tell anyone to sit back and allow themselves to be accused of something they didn't do. There are a lot of ways to skin a cat, though, and Clemens couldn't possibly have picked a messier way.
None of this makes him guilty, of course, and we've got a lot of miles to go before this trial, if it ever happens, wends its way to a conclusion. Regardless of how things play out, Clemens has seen his reputation ruined and his life turned upside down because of the way he chose to fight back.
The bible tells us that "pride goes before destruction," a lesson that Clemens seems to have avoided learning at the highest cost.

CLEVELAND -- Adam Rosales thought he hit a game-tying home run. The Athletics, Indians and 14,000 or so fans thought so, too.
There was a small group who differed: the umpires.
"Probably the only four people in the ballpark," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said.
Rosales' apparent homer with two outs in the ninth inning off Chris Perez was ruled a double by umpires - even after a video review - Wednesday night, giving Cleveland a 4-3 win over the Athletics, who left Progressive Field feeling robbed.
"Our whole team thought it was the wrong call," Rosales said. "The replays showed it hit the railing. With six eyes on it (three umpires), you would have thought they'd make the right call."
With the Indians leading 4-3, Rosales sent a drive off Perez that appeared to clear the left field wall by several feet and clanged off a metal railing. However, second base umpire Angel Hernandez called it a double, and the crew concurred with the original ruling after three umpires left the field to review the videotape.
When the umpires returned and told Rosales to stay at second, Melvin sprinted onto the field and was immediately ejected by Hernandez.
"Everybody else said it was a home run, including their announcers when I came in here later," a miffed Melvin said. "I don't get it. I don't know what the explanation would be when everybody else in the ballpark knew it was a home run."
"Clearly, it hit the railing. I'm at a loss, I'm at a complete loss," Melvin added.
Perez initially thought the ball hit the yellow line above the 19-foot-high wall and dropped. But after watching a replay in the clubhouse, he was convinced the Indians got away with a win.
"Coming back in here, I saw different, " Perez said. "Off the bat, I thought it was a homer. It sounded like a homer. Luckily, the call went in our favor. I don't think I've ever been on the other side of a replay like that.
"It's part of the game and we'll definitely take it," Perez said
Hernandez told a pool reporter there was not enough clear proof to overturn the original call.
"It wasn't evident on the TV we had it was a home run," Hernandez said. "I don't know what kind of replay you had, but you can't reverse a call unless there is 100 percent evidence and there wasn't 100 percent evidence."
Perez wound up loading the bases before getting the final out as the Indians won for the ninth time in 10 games.
Nick Swisher and Carlos Santana homered for Cleveland, which improved to 12-4 since April 20.
Following the game, a few Indians players scrambled to find a remote so they could turn up the TV volume and hear Melvin's comments.
"If it hit the pad, it would have just hit the pad and come down softly," Melvin said. "Clearly there was a ricochet."
Under Major League Baseball rules, once the replay is requested and the review is made, the call stands.
Before the umpires returned to the field, Perez seemed resigned that he had blown the lead. Indians manager Terry Francona, too, checked his scorecard perhaps thinking about some moves he might have to make because the game was now tied.
As the umpires emerged from watching the video, Rosales leaned off the bag at second ready to resume his home run trot. He never got started.
With the umpires satisfied they got the call correct, the A's were forced to try to tie it another way.
They nearly did as Perez hit Eric Sogard and John Jason walked after a nine-pitch to load the bases. But Perez got Seth Smith to hit a comebacker and ran the ball to first base and stepped on the bag to end the controversial ninth.
"Wet ground, the way the game had been going, I made sure he (Smith) wasn't gaining on me," Perez said, smiling. "It's a lot easier to go over there myself."
Before the dramatic finish, the Indians trailed 3-0 until scoring twice in the fifth and getting the homers from Swisher and Santana off A.J. Griffin (3-3) in the sixth.
Justin Masterson (5-2) allowed three runs in seven innings and got his second career win over Oakland.
Cleveland is 12-4 since April 20 and three games over .500 for the first time this season. The Indians will try to sweep the four-game series on Thursday.
The aching A's fell to 6-13 against the AL Central and East. They are 13-3 inside their own division. Oakland has seven players on the disabled list, including three outfielders.
Down 3-2 in the sixth, Swisher and Santana connected off Griffin and the Indians held on to improve to 7-1 on this homestand. About the only thing that isn't climbing for Cleveland is the attendance. The Indians are averaging just 14,411 fans per game - last in the majors.
With one out in the sixth, Swisher launched his fourth homer into the right field seats. He was still slapping hands with some teammates, when one out later, Santana ripped his seventh homer over the center-field wall, a shot that had the excitable Swisher doing a little dance in Cleveland's dugout.
It was the 10th time this season that Cleveland, which leads the AL with 46 homers, has hit two homers in one inning.
Masterson continued Cleveland's run of stellar starting pitching. In the last nine games, Indians starters are 8-1 with a 2.64 ERA.
NOTES: The Indians will re-evaluate OF Michael Bourn's status following his game with Triple-A Columbus. Bourn has been on the disabled list since April 15 after slicing open his right index finger and needing stitches. He could be activated for this weekend's series in Detroit. "We'll do whatever is in his best interest," Francona said. ... Melvin believes RHP Jarrod Parker is on track to make his next start Saturday despite a chronic sore neck. He left Monday's start after five innings - and giving up four homers. "It's something he's worked through before and my guess is he'll work through it again," Melvin said. ... A's LHP Brett Anderson (sprained ankle) threw a bullpen session that Melvin said went well. Anderson will go on a rehab assignment before he's activated. ... The A's released LHP Jordan Noberto to make room on the 40-man roster for Barton.

BESSEMER CITY � Forestview�s boys and Ashbrook�s girls claimed team titles at this week�s Gaston County Track and Field Championships, and the winning margins were so close that the results had to be tabulated several times to make sure.
Forestview�s boys scored 134.5 points to edge Ashbrook (129) while the Ashbrook girls scored 112 points to beat second-place South Point by a mere two points.
The meet took place Monday at South Point and Wednesday at Bessemer City, but the final team standings weren�t complete in time for Thursday�s Gazette.
Forestview�s championship marked its third in four years, having won in 2010 and 2011. Vincent Comesana led the Jaguars by winning three events (800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters) and running a leg for the first-place 3,200-meter relay team. Comesana, a North Greenville University signee, was voted the meet�s most outstanding track athlete by the coaches.
The Jaguars turned in one other first-place finish as Ricky Isrel won the pole vault with a height of 10 feet Monday at South Point.
Forestview also had four silver medalists: Henry Miller (discus), Calvin Johnson (triple jump), Joquan Isbell (110-meter hurdles) and Chris Bess (300-meter hurdles).
Ashbrook�s girls won four events to take home its first trophy since winning back-to-back in 2007 and 2008. Selena Gonzalez took first in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters to lead the Green Wave. Ashbrook placed in the top two in all four relays, winning the 800 and 1,600 relays while finishing second in the 400 and 3,200 relays.
Ashbrook placed second in three other events: Michaila Huffstickler in the triple jump, Kya Davis in the 800 meters and Sherry Johnson in the 200 meters.
One meet record fell on Monday as North Gaston�s Mariel Finger cleared 9 feet, 6 inches to win the girls pole vault. The previous record of 9 feet, 2 inches by South Point�s Amanda Hedrick had stood since 2006.
No other records were broken Monday or Wednesday.

Privacy Regulation and Political Economy
Good-hearted people want to cure hunger, ignorance, and other human deficits. Many see the cure in taking from the group of "haves" and giving to the "have-nots." Along with the injustice of the transfer itself, libertarians like to point out the backward incentives that generous, systematic giving creates. Poverty and ignorance becomes a low-end, but survivable, mode of living. It's not really a surprise that these problems respond to subsidy by becoming intractable.
That's simple math to people who understand incentives, so it shouldn't be hard to recognize incentive structures and their warping in other areas. Take federalism. The Constitution set out a design for government that aligned political incentives well. With a limited federal government and plenary powers left with the states, elected officials closer to the people would provide better government because they would be responsible to smaller numbers of people at the ballot box.
When state officials go wrong, good-hearted, economically-minded people want to cure their deficits. Many see the cure in removing power from the state level to the federal through preemption. State regulation can interfere with national markets, and there is a Commerce Clause that arguably permits national regulation of all things commercial.
But the Commerce Clause was not a grant of plenary authority over commerce anywhere in the United States. It gave Congress power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes." Think of a border sentry tasked mostly with preventing anyone from erecting gates.
One can "fix" bad state regulation by replacing it with a less-bad, nationally uniform rule. But doing so frees state officials from responsibility. The subsidy makes carelessness a low-end, but survivable mode of governing.
So with California Attorney General Kamala Harris brandishing $2,500 fines per download of apps in California if they don't meet the terms of the California Online Privacy Protection Act, I don't think the right answer is for the federal government to whisk in with its own less-bad privacy law that preempts California's. The attorney general and the authors of California's law should be allowed to let their behavior have its effects in their state, responding to their state's voters if it has negative consequences.
The federal government's only response should be to make clear that there are limits on California's ability to bring out-of-staters into court. The federal government should preserve the right of people and businesses to exit states that make themselves unfriendly through high taxes, poor services, and inefficient regulation. This will set up the incentive structure under which governance in the United States will thrive, perhaps at the cost of California sinking into the ocean.

Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide found in Omaha home
An Omaha family says one thing saved their lives after dangerous carbon monoxide levels built up in their home.
The family's carbon monoxide detector went off around 9 a.m. at the home near 154th and Blondo streets. Carbon monoxide levels are supposed to be around five parts per million, but firefighters recorded 400 parts per million when they arrived.
"That's a very dangerous level and could result in serious illness, even death," Battalion Chief Kathy Bossman said.
Bossman told KETV NewsWatch 7 a faulty furnace caused the leak.
"We kicked on our heater this morning because it was a little cold," said Seth Shuckman. "And our carbon monoxide alarm went on shortly thereafter."
Shuckman said without the detector, his family would not have realized the odorless gas was filling their house.
Service One's Jeremy Ebertowski performs routine checkups to ensure furnaces work properly. He blames improper venting for most carbon monoxide buildups, but said you can't tell just by looking.
"You can have a perfectly blue flame that looks beautiful and be producing thousands and thousands of parts per million of carbon monoxide," Ebertowski said.
Ebertowski said it's best to have your furnace inspected as the season changes.
"Usually, if you wait for something to go wrong, it can be too late," he said.
A service call typically takes an hour and averages less than $100, according to Ebertowski.
Ebertowski said the most common alarm is from cars warming up in the garage, causing carbon monoxide to escape into the house.
The Omaha Fire Department will install a carbon monoxide detector for residents for free. Bossman said every home should have one, especially as heaters are being turned on for the winter.

Tis the season for socializing and picnicking in backyards and parks across the nation. But that also means it's high season for foodborne illnesses, when a contamination can spread across the nation's food chain. A number of tools have been introduced in recent years to help public health departments track the path of food poisoning and other food borne illnesses.
The City of Chicago Department of Public Health, for example, was the first to test the potential of social media in identifying foodborne outbreaks, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Together with the Smart Chicago Collaborative, it is developing apps to monitor Twitter for possible food poisoning references. A similar project is underway in New York, where the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is working with Columbia University and reviews website Yelp to filter restaurant-goers comments for clues to an outbreak.
Elsewhere, the Food and Drug Administration in 2012 introduced iRISK, a Web-based system to analyze data on microbial and chemical hazards in food and estimate their impact on a population. The tool is designed to enable users to conduct "fully quantitative, fully probabilistic risk assessments of food safety hazards relative rapidly and efficiently," according to the FDA.
The latest technology for checking the health of the food supply debuted this month when IBM introduced an analytic system it said could help public health departments not only track but predict contaminations in the food supply and accelerate the health care response.
IBM, which recently published its research on the project in the journal PLOS Computational Biology, described the tool as a "breakthrough" technology, capable of identifying contaminated products, "within as few as 10 outbreak case reports."
The IBM system uses algorithms, visualization and statistical techniques to sort through date and location data on "billions" of products in the food supply to help identify "guilty" or contaminated products, according to the firm.
To help accelerate the investigation, IBM is using petabytes of food-based sales data in inventory systems used by food retailers and distributors, some of which manage up to 30,000 food items at any point in time.
IBM's system "automatically identifies, contextualizes and displays data from multiple sources to help reduce the time to identify the mostly likely contaminated sources by a factor of days or weeks," according to the company.
The system also integrates retail data with geocoded public health data to allow investigators to map the distribution of suspect foods. Researchers can look at geographic information on a map and access case and lab reports from clinical encounters in specific locations.
The algorithm also learns from each new report and recalculates the probability of each food that might be causing the illness.
"Predictive analytics based on location, content and context are driving our ability to quickly discover hidden patterns and relationships from diverse public health and retail data," said James Kaufman, manager of public health research for IBM Research.
In announcing the research, IBM pointed out that the speed of an investigation often depends on upon food industry firms to supply relevant data to be analyzed.
"This can be achieved by combining innovative software technology with already existing data and the willingness to share this information in crisis situations between private and public sector organizations," said Dr. Bernd Appel, head of the Department Biological Safety at the German Federal Institute, which is working with IBM on the research.
IBM is working with public health organizations and retailers in the United States to scale the research prototype and begin processing information from 1.7 billion supermarket items that are sold each week in the country, according to Kaufman.

The Phils wrapped up a 4 game series in Cincinnati with a win and a sweep of the Reds to welcome September in on Thursday afternoon. September is when the weather starts to cool a bit, and the baseball rosters expand to 40 players. The expansion of players could give the regular players a bit of a rest down the road as the 2011 season starts to wind down. It's been the first time since 1976 that the Phillies are 41 games over .500 on the season.
Phillies rookie pitcher, Vance Worley, got his 10th win of the season today and that takes his season record to 10-1 with a 2.86 ERA. It's been a long time since the Phillies have had a home grown draft pick emerge into a great pitcher in his own right. Worley is staking his claim in this rotation, and even though he has had great support in his starts, the record doesn't lie and he is still 10-1 on the year.
Regular season to wind up on September 28th this yearThe 2011 regular season is due to end on September 28th in Atlanta this year. The Phils ended their schedule last year in Atlanta also, before that you have to go back to the 2006 season when the Phillies ended up their regular season on the road in Miami against the Marlins.
Looking at the prospect of having a 20 game winner on the Phillies in 2011When we all heard that the Phillies were going to have the fabulous starting rotation that they do this season, a lot of people started to ponder who would be a 20-game winner from the rotation. We've had a lot of great performances so far and the odds on favorite to win 20 is still Roy Halladay. Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee have a chance as well so we'll see what happens in the month of September with the starters.
New stadium for miami marlins
Three game series for the Phils in Miami to start the Labor Day weekend
This weekend will mark the last time that the Phillies will face the Florida Marlins. Next year the Florida Marlins will be called the Miami Marlins and they will be sporting a brand new stadium and not have to worry about rainouts. The stadium will have all the modern necessities and a retractable roof to provide comfort to fans and players alike. I will always remember the games that the Phillies played down there with players on both teams being overcome with heat and humidity. It's all going to be just a memory now that next year will bring the new stadium.

An inset fire requires a fireplace opening or wall cavity behind it or a rebated fire surround in order to install the fire. The freestanding style of fire is very easy to install, sits flat against the wall and does not require a cavity behind it, however many of our inset fires also come with a compact spacer which allows the fire to be freestanding or fitted flat to the wall.
All our Optiflame and Opti-myst fires can be operated on a flame-effect only setting, as can the flickering flame effect on our freestanding bar fires.
No, to run the flame effect involves powering light bulbs and a small electric motor and in most cases costs no more than a couple of pence an hour. Some of our fires have LED lamps fitted which are even more energy efficient.
Selected models come with a choice of fuel bed whilst with others a different fuel bed can be purchased as an accessory. Please see individual product pages for details.
The majority of our fires come with a fitted plug and simply connect to a 13amp socket. The only fires that require any kind of installation are the wall mounted fires, which require fixing or insetting into the wall.

UK retailer Marks and Spencer seems to think children have a rough time of it in today's school, what with the ridiculously easy GCSEs and A-Levels, and the lack of discipline.
So it has decided to add a pocket into this year's school uniforms that allows kids to 'securely contain an iPod'.
Undercover music
And not only that, this superpocket also helps conceal the wires for ease on the move, and has hidden controls for handling the devices.
Why not go the whole hog and turn the garments into Bluetooth hotspots, thereby eliminating the wires altogether?
Actually, why not go one step further and implant flash memory into the BRAINS of children so they can listen to music without being caught?
And the genius of this idea is that bullies can't steal other kid's iPods unless, of course, they steal the entire child.
Anyway, M&S is offering blazers and coats with this 'innovative' technology, should you feel your kids' clothes aren't modified enough already.

The lobby of the Hilton Baltimore Hotel was filled Thursday with firefighters, many of them in full turnout gear. But they were not on their way to fight a blaze; they were there to pay tribute to their fallen brethren.
They would each ascend the hotel's 22 flights of stairs five times to simulate the 110 stories in the World Trade Center towers, where 343 New York City firefighters lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
"It is not that hard, when you know why you are doing it," said Jacob Zimmerman, 30, of Washington.
The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs started seven years ago in Denver and have since spread across the country as a way to honor the fallen firefighters. With numerous firefighters in Baltimore for the annual Fire Expo, the climb drew more than 100 participants.
A brief ceremony with the national anthem, a prayer and a caution to look out for one another preceded the climb. Bagpipers and drummers played solemn tunes as each participant rang a symbolic firehouse bell and spoke the name of a fallen firefighter before heading to the stairs. Hotel staff and guests and family members applauded loudly when each climbing team came through the lobby.
Many wore navy blue shirts with "343 x 110 — never forget" printed on the backs.
Ivan LaBoy, 53, of Jackson, N.J., carried a large circular case on his shoulder. It held an American flag in honor of "all those who didn't make it home that terrible day," he said.
Midway through the fourth of five ascensions, his 10-year-old daughter, Julia, added her backpack to his load. "This is fun but really hard," she said and then raced ahead of her father.
Like LaBoy, many climbed in full gear, which added dozens of pounds and made the exercise even hotter. Penny Andrews, 48, and her co-worker at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Maria Madden, 41, wore less-cumbersome shorts, T-shirts and tennis shoes.
"This is the least we can do to honor these heroes," Andrews said. "I know it will be hard and hot, but this building is not on fire."
Each participant had photos of the fallen firefighters pinned to their outfits. Some chose only one, but many wore several photos.
Walter Patterson, a 49-year-old career firefighter from Grove City, Pa., was making his fifth climb and has already signed up for a sixth event in Pittsburgh on Sept. 9. Each time, he wears the photo of his friend, Kevin O'Rourke, "a guy who fixed bikes at the fire station for the neighborhood kids." O'Rourke was 44 when he died 11 years ago in the first tower.
"I tell people to look these guys up," he said. "They are more than just a picture."
Jason Skau, 7, of Clinton, Conn., seemed lost in a firefighter's coat but eager to get started.
"My dad is a firefighter, and this is a memorial for the firefighters who died," he said.
At the last minute, his 3-year-old brother, Caden, decided to go along. Jeff Skau carried the toddler for at least half the trek. "No problem," the dad said. "An air pack is heavier to carry."
As soon as climbers reached the top story, they took an elevator to the ground floor and started up the stairs again — four more times. Robert and Kristen Angell, both members of the Prince George's County Fire Department, and their two young sons were all slightly red-faced after their 110 flights.
"I could do it again right now," said Jake Angell, 9. "But my mom can't make it."
Most took about an hour to finish. Many compared their sore legs to noodles or Jell-O afterward, but none complained.
"I am a little tired and facing a long drive home," said a slightly breathless Bryce Chapman, 27, of Warrenton, Va., after he finished what was his second memorial climb. "But it was worth it to honor 343 of my brothers."

BALTIMORE- UMBC senior midfielder Travis Dennis (Bowie, Md./Eleanor Roosevel) scored the game's lone goal in the 41st minute as the 11th-ranked Retrievers (8-0-0) blanked George Mason (4-2-1), 1-0, before 1,150 at Retriever Soccer Park.
UMBC, one of two undefeated and untied teams in the nation (Dayton at 7-0-0 is the other), extended its unbeaten streak to 17 (14-0-3), dating back to 2012.
The victory was the Retrievers' first by shutout in 2013. Senior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) made four saves to record his 18th career shutout.
The Retrievers outshot the Patriots, 13-8 and evened the all-time series at 6-6-1. Mason has dropped two straight since opening at 4-0-1 and earning an NSCAA ranking of 23 a week ago.
"I thought defensively tonight we played excellent (soccer) against some good forwards," said head coach Pete Caringi. "I really like how this team has been focusing on each game, getting better, each practice getting better and as long as we do that, good things are going to happen."
UMBC controlled much of the first half action and held the Patriots without a shot for 37 minutes until GMU defender Hugh Roberts' header whizzed by the left post.
The Retrievers would capitalize on one of five first half corner kicks. Junior Mamadou Kansaye (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) took the corner from the right side and the Patriot defense could only clear to the left edge of the box. Dennis, who had entered the game in the 33rd minute, ran on to the ball, and stung a right-footed shot which found the net just inside the near post with 4:12 to play in the stanza.
It was Dennis' first goal of the season and just the second of his career.
UMBC outshot Mason, 9-2 in the first 45 minutes, but the visitors did threaten more often in the final 45. But the best chance of the half belonged to Retriever senior midfielder Kadeem Dacres (Rosedale, N.Y.), who struck the woodwork for the second time of the evening in the 78th minute. His 19-yard blast beat GMU netminder Steffen Kraus, but struck the post to the keeper's right and UMBC could not corral the rebound.
Mason could only manage three shots in the final 28 minutes of the contest.
The eight consecutive victories for UMBC knots their third-longest streak in school history. The 1991 squad also won eight straight, while the 2009 squad captured nine in a row and the school record of 13 consecutive victories is held by the 1999 team. The 2009 team's run came in the first nine games of the season.
UMBC continues its three-game homestand by welcoming George Washington (3-4-0) to Retriever Soccer Park on Saturday evening (7:00 p.m.).

May wheat is now back to a premium of 8 ¼ cents to May corn. Large amounts of wheat contracted for feed have helped this spread even out again. Weekly export sales totaled 888,500 MTs for 2012 wheat! Also the pendulum is swinging the other direction as the massive short position held by the "managed money" is being liquidated. Basically the short covering has been a big part of the rally as buy stops were triggered today. The corn-wheat price ratio should continue to move back in favor of wheat even if this latest move is from position liquidation (my opinion). Wheat has its own tight balance sheet and there are a few extra considerations for higher corn carryout now that less corn will be fed by comparable grain replacement as well higher imports. We could see a situation similar to last year where carryout estimates increase as we approach September 1st. Again, let's get through March 28th when we can see the quarterly stocks report and gauge were we are. There are a lot of people that will argue the "corn just isn't out there". The recent demand changes were made because of the "known" supply tightness and unbelievably strong corn basis. The recent WASDE estimates will likely have to change to account for the extra rationing.
Our long term outlook remains bearish for new crop pricing and we want to use these "dead cat bounces" to make those additional hedges where necessary. December corn is very close to its downtrend resistance.
December 2013 Corn
The corn-to-soybean ratio has traded lower for 5 trading sessions in a row. This spread is back to 2.25 to 1, which is adequately priced in our opinion. It will be an important barometer to watch for the next 30 days.

Bitcoin is a software-based payment system released in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto as open source software. The payments in the system are recorded in a public ledger using its own unit of account, called bitcoin.
Payments operate on a peer-to-peer system without a central repository or single administrator. The U.S. Treasury calls bitcoin a decentralized, virtual currency. Media reports often refer to bitcoin as a "cryptocurrency" or "digital currency."

Federal investigators are scrutinizing television segments in which the Bush administration paid people to pose as journalists praising the benefits of the new Medicare law, which would be offered to help elderly Americans with the costs of their prescription medicines.
The videos are intended for use in local television news programs. Several include pictures of President Bush receiving a standing ovation from a crowd cheering as he signed the Medicare law on Dec. 8.
The materials were produced by the Department of Health and Human Services, which called them video news releases, but the source is not identified. Two videos end with the voice of a woman who says, ''In Washington, I'm Karen Ryan reporting.''
But the production company, Home Front Communications, said it had hired her to read a script prepared by the government.
Another video, intended for Hispanic audiences, shows a Bush administration official being interviewed in Spanish by a man who identifies himself as a reporter named Alberto Garcia.
Another segment shows a pharmacist talking to an elderly customer. The pharmacist says the new law ''helps you better afford your medications,'' and the customer says, ''It sounds like a good idea.'' Indeed, the pharmacist says, ''A very good idea.''
The government also prepared scripts that can be used by news anchors introducing what the administration describes as a made-for-television ''story package.''
In one script, the administration suggests that anchors use this language: ''In December, President Bush signed into law the first-ever prescription drug benefit for people with Medicare. Since then, there have been a lot of questions about how the law will help older Americans and people with disabilities. Reporter Karen Ryan helps sort through the details.''
The ''reporter'' then explains the benefits of the new law.
Lawyers from the General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, discovered the materials last month when they were looking into the use of federal money to pay for certain fliers and advertisements that publicize the Medicare law.
In a report to Congress last week, the lawyers said those fliers and advertisements were legal, despite ''notable omissions and other weaknesses.'' Administration officials said the television news segments were also a legal, effective way to educate beneficiaries.
Gary L. Kepplinger, deputy general counsel of the accounting office, said, ''We are actively considering some follow-up work related to the materials we received from the Department of Health and Human Services.''
One question is whether the government might mislead viewers by concealing the source of the Medicare videos, which have been broadcast by stations in Oklahoma, Louisiana and other states.
Federal law prohibits the use of federal money for ''publicity or propaganda purposes'' not authorized by Congress. In the past, the General Accounting Office has found that federal agencies violated this restriction when they disseminated editorials and newspaper articles written by the government or its contractors without identifying the source.
Kevin W. Keane, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, said there was nothing nefarious about the television materials, which he said had been distributed to stations nationwide. Under federal law, he said, the government is required to inform beneficiaries about changes in Medicare.
''The use of video news releases is a common, routine practice in government and the private sector,'' Mr. Keane said. ''Anyone who has questions about this practice needs to do some research on modern public information tools.''
But Democrats disagreed. ''These materials are even more disturbing than the Medicare flier and advertisements,'' said Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey. ''The distribution of these videos is a covert attempt to manipulate the press.''
Mr. Lautenberg, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, and seven other members of Congress requested the original review by the accounting office.
In the videos and advertisements, the government urges beneficiaries to call a toll-free telephone number, 1-800-MEDICARE. People who call that number can obtain recorded information about prescription drug benefits if they recite the words ''Medicare improvement.''
Documents from the Medicare agency show why the administration is eager to advertise the benefits of the new law, on radio and television, in newspapers and on the Internet.
''Our consumer research has shown that beneficiaries are confused about the Medicare Modernization Act and uncertain about what it means for them,'' says one document from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Other documents suggest the scope of the publicity campaign: $12.6 million for advertising this winter, $18.5 million to publicize drug discount cards this spring, about $18.5 million this summer, $30 million for a year of beneficiary education starting this fall and $44 million starting in the fall of 2005.
''Video news releases'' have been used for more than a decade. Pharmaceutical companies have done particularly well with them, producing news-style health features about the afflictions their drugs are meant to cure.
The videos became more prominent in the late 1980's, as more and more television stations cut news-gathering budgets and were glad to have packaged news bits to call their own, even if they were prepared by corporations seeking to sell products.
As such, the videos have drawn criticism from some news media ethicists, who consider them to be at odds with journalism's mission to verify independently the claims of corporations and governments.
Government agencies have also produced such videos for years, often on subjects like teenage smoking and the dangers of using steroids. But the Medicare materials wander into more controversial territory.
Bill Kovach, chairman of the Committee of Concerned Journalists, expressed disbelief that any television stations would present the Medicare videos as real news segments, considering the current debate about the merits of the new law.
''Those to me are just the next thing to fraud,'' Mr. Kovach said. ''It's running a paid advertisement in the heart of a news program.''
