Community rallies support
New treatments
for diabetes
Associated Press
DIABETES ADVANCES:
Several diabetes treatments
in late testing appear to better control of blood sugar and
weight and to prevent dangerously low blood sugar. They’re
being presented at a conference in Philadelphia.
BOON TO MAKERS: The new
drugs, insulin products and
medical devices could bring
billions in annual revenue to
drugmakers that now dominate
the diabetes market and others entering it.
GROWING MARKET: Diabetes is exploding with the global
obesity epidemic, with 26 million American diabetics and
growing. Drug sales likely will
jump nearly 10 percent a year
for a while.
Concert raises
more than $34,000
for wreck victims

DRAFFENVILLE — While two
injured college students remain
hospitalized following a car
wreck, their community rallied
to support their families in any
way they could.
With a six-hour fundraising benefit concert Sunday at
Marshall County High School,
hundreds of people from across
the county turned out to listen
to music, bid on auction items,
offer well-wishes and donate
money, all to help offset the family medical expenses for Landon
Lovett, 19, and Shane McKenty,
20, both of Benton.
“When something like this
happens, you put personal differences, politics aside and you
just come together in prayer and
unity for whatever cause it may
be,” said Misti Drew, county
commissioner.
“We’re a county of 32,000
people, but it might as well be
a county of 500, because that’s
how we come together.”
With a fundraising goal of
$30,000 — to split between both
families — McKenty’s aunt, Krystal Denfip, said after only three
hours the benefit concert raised
$16,000 and in total raised more
than $34,000.
Already, a community fundraiser at Maggie’s Jungle Golf

totaled $2,000 in aid.
“That’s all people want to do is

Lovett and McKenty were hospitalized after police say their
vehicle was struck nearly headon by Cory Burkeen, 24, of Gilbertsville, on Ky. 95 near Calvert
City on May 28. Both Lovett and
McKenty were initially taken to

Center.
Though McKenty remains in a

TRENTON, N.J. — Some experimental diabetes treatments
in late testing offer patients hope
of better controlling their blood
sugar and weight and preventing
dangerously low blood sugar, all
big challenges for millions of diabetics.
Results from studies of several
new diabetes medicines and insulin products, just announced at
the premiere U.S. conference for
diabetes specialists, likewise hold
the promise of billions in annual
revenue for drugmakers that have
dominated the diabetes market
and for others breaking into it.
They have been presenting their

Chief Justice: Cuts are harming court system
Associated Press
LOUISVILLE — There has been
a “hollowing out” of the state’s
court system over the last four
years because of funding cuts,
Kentucky Chief Justice John
Minton said.
Minton said funding for Kentucky courts has dropped by
nearly 50 percent since 2009 and
about 235 employees have been
lost due to layoffs or unfilled positions. Courthouse doors will be
shut three days this year because
of the funding cuts, he said.
Minton was speaking Friday at
a criminal justice summit centered
on policies that affect Louisville’s
African American community.
“Kentucky’s courts ... are at
a tipping point,” Minton told a
crowd of about 70 in an audito-
rium at Jefferson Community and
Technical College.
He was on a panel of speakers
that included Court of Appeals
Judge Denise Clayton and Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Stengel.
Stengel said the three-day court
closing would still cost county
jails, where people will spend extra time awaiting trial.
Stengel suggested alternatives
including ankle bracelets and
take-home breathalyzers to allow
people awaiting trial or serving
certain sentences to be monitored
at home.
He said it’s better than putting
people in jail and prison, where
there is little if any rehabilitation.
“You spend a fortune to make it
worse,” he said.

Afghan troops say they’ll be OK on their own

CHINARI OUTPOST, Afghanistan — Over Capt. Mohammed
Raza’s walkie-talkie came an
intruder’s voice: Faqir Talha, a
Taliban fighter telling a comrade,
“Everyone is with us. We will

they did, they lack the firepower

Two months previously a police
post was destroyed by the Taliban, so the army set up a base on
a hilltop where the men of the 4th
Battalion of 203 Thunder Corps
live in two 20-foot-long containers behind bags of rocks and
rolls of barbed wire. Riding in

snakes through mountain passes
and eventually ends in Pakistan,
where the insurgents have a haven.
Two days ago they were attacked with rockets but suffered

Staff report An early morning fire
destroyed a Metropolis
home Sunday.
Firefighters from the
Metropolis Fire Department were dispatched at
2:06 a.m. Sunday in an attempt to control the blaze
at 805 Broadway.
Authorities didn’t know
where or how the fire started due to the house being
nearly engulfed upon the
fire department’s arrival.
Capt. Chad Parker said
firefighters were unable to
get too involved with the
house, because it seemed
as if the roof was weak and
near collapsing.
No one was home at the
time of the fire, and no one
was injured at the scene.
The owner of the house arrived a little after the fire
department’s appearance.
Firefighters were able to
tame the fire and clear the
scene by 4:31 a.m.

the soldiers have them.
“There is definitely a logistics issue within the ANA.
There is an awful lot of
equipment purchased and
sitting in warehouses until we get the logistics fixed
and get the ANA trained to
request the equipment and
get it issued,” Lt. Col. Timothy M. Stauffer, U.S. Army
director of public relations,
told the AP late in May.
Still, to an Associated
Press reporter and photographer visiting Chinari
outpost southeast of Kabul,
the Afghan troops sound
motivated and patriotic.
They tend to dismiss the
Taliban rank and file as poor
youngsters who join up for
the money, but in the next
breath say much the same
of themselves: Educated to
fifth grade at most, or not
at all, they enlisted because
their families need the money.
The Taliban put religion
in the forefront of their endeavors; these soldiers seem
to lay more stress on love of
country.
Most say they enlisted
because they love their
country, and because the
$250 monthly salaries offer
a way out of poverty. They
say they aren’t afraid of the
Taliban, and expect the
fighting to stop once foreign
troops leave. They represent
Afghanistan’s many and
sometimes quarreling ethnic groups — Tajik, Uzbek,
Pashtun and Hazara — and
say ethnicity doesn’t define them. They all say they
dream of peace and prosperity for their homeland after
30 years of war. They also

lions of dollars so little development has taken place,
peace has eluded them and
corruption is rife among
their leaders.
Bushy-bearded
Noor
Alam is 25 and in his words
a bit of a dreamer and a poet.
His education ended at fifth
grade. He and two brothers
enlisted because his family is
poor and needs the money.
He recalls scary encounters with the Taliban in his
four years in the army, but
none as frightening as the
one with U.S. Special Forces who he says mistook his
base for a Taliban hide-out.
“Their weapons were so
strong. I have had bad experiences with the Taliban but
this was the most frightening for me,” he said. “Maybe
they apologized to higherups, but no one apologized
to us.”
He says he longs for
“peace with all Afghans, living together. We shouldn’t
fight each other.”
Mohammed Khan is 21
but his face is weathered
and lined. He said his el-
derly father can no longer
work. “We need money and
at the same time we serve
our country,” he said. He enlisted three months ago and
hasn’t been home yet, but
has a cellphone and calls his
father often. “It makes me
feel better,” he says.
He hasn’t yet been under fire but says: “I am not
afraid of the Taliban. I am
only afraid of God.”
Khan says the Afghan National Army can defend the
country after 2014 — “I have
trust and belief in the ANA”
— and thinks Afghanistan
will be better off once the
foreign forces are gone, “because when they are gone we
will be more able to control
our country.”
At 23 Sgt. Abdul Bashir
is a veteran. One of 15 children, he joined up four years
ago “to serve my country.”
He accuses Iran and Pakistan of interfering in his
troubled homeland but believes Afghanistan will have
a better chance at peace
after international forces
leave. He longs for “a country that is peaceful and can
develop and where a soldier
all alone can go anywhere in
the country without feeling
any danger.”
Among the higher ranks,
officers are not shy about
expressing their worries for
Afghanistan’s fate once the
foreign forces leave. But
here at Chinari, the consensus seems to be: We’ll manage fine.
The foreigners — now
numbering about 130,000
soldiers, 90,000 of them
American — “have helped us
but they have not been able
to bring us peace, things
have gone from bad to
worse,” said Basir. “I think
I just want them to leave because we should protect our
own country.”
DIABETES
CONTINUED FROM 1A
not make enough insulin
to break down the sugar in
foods or uses insulin inefficiently.
Now many more drugmakers have jumped in, as
the number of American
diabetes patients is about
26 million and growing
fast, and there are tens of
millions more in Western
Europe, China and India.
That’s because the global obesity epidemic has
caused a similar explosion
of diabetes cases. About 95
percent are Type 2 diabetes, usually related to being
overweight and sedentary.
Type 2, once called adultonset diabetes, now is also
being diagnosed in adolescents, just like insulindependent Type 1 diabetes,
which used to be called juvenile diabetes.
Both types can cause
early death or devastating
complications — blindness,
amputations, stroke, kidney disease, heart disease
and more — when too-high
blood sugar steadily dam-
ages organs and blood vessels.
Roughly $200 billion a
year is spent on treating
diabetes and indirect costs
such as missed work and
premature death, according
to the diabetes association.
Last year, U.S. spending on diabetes medicines
among insured patients
for the first time exceeded
spending on cholesterol
drugs, according to Express
Scripts, a top prescription
benefit manager.
“We expect the key diabetes brands and markets to exhibit sustainable
high-single-digit growth,”
reaching about $54 billion
a year by 2020, Jefferies &
Company analyst Jeffrey
Holford recently wrote to
investors. He cited an aging Western population,
more health care use and
adoption of Western diets
in emerging countries, and
increased use of new treatments and combination
therapies.
Holford expects Denmark’s Novo Nordisk AS
to remain the top diabetes
company by revenue but Eli
Lilly and Co. of Indianapolis
to overtake France’s Sanofi
SA as the No. 2 player by
2017.
Among other research,
the conference highlighted
promising new treatments
likely to be approved in the
next few years:
■ Novo Nordisk on Friday reported on results of
degludec, its ultra-long-acting insulin for patients with
Type 2 diabetes. Its yearlong, 1,030-patient study
compared degludec with
Sanofi’s Lantus, the world’s
top-selling insulin. Degludec reduced low blood
sugar during the night,
when it’s most dangerous,
by 36 percent and also reduced severe hypoglycemia
significantly, compared to
Lantus. Those problems
occurred less than once in
a year in both groups of patients, though.
Novo also reported on
other studies finding that
because degludec is active in
the body for more than the
standard 24 hours for longacting insulins, patients can
maintain good blood sugar
control even if they don’t
take it at the same time every day. The Food and Drug
Administration was to decide whether to approve
U.S. sales by June 29, but
just pushed that back until
Oct. 29 to allow more time
to review data.
■ Johnson & Johnson’s
Janssen Research unit presented five late-stage studies on its daily Type 2 diabetes pill, canagliflozin, part
of a newer class of diabetes
drugs called SGLT2 inhibitors. They work primarily by increasing how much
glucose is excreted in urine.
One yearlong study found
it reduced long-term blood
sugar levels, called A1C levels, and also helped patients
lose much more weight
than Merck & Co.’s blockbuster pill Januvia. Januvia
is in a class called DPP-4
inhibitors, which increase
the body’s release of insulin
after a meal.
Another study similarly
showed canagliflozin decreased A1C levels and body
weight significantly more

their healthy customers — the kind of clients companies prefer to have more of yet
who will inevitably seek less insurance.
Meanwhile, insurers will be forced to
provide the same type of coverage for unhealthy customers even though doing so
will lead the company to the wrong side
of the accounting ledger. Why would any
rational company choose to offer health
insurance at all under such a regime?
The PPACA also discourages incentives
for adopting healthy behaviors, which
most certainly would reduce health care
costs — precisely what “affordable care”
acts are supposed to do.
“Disallowing individual rating of health
insurance premiums leaves no scope
for lower premiums as an incentive for
healthy behavior,” Garen writes. “Bad
health habits are, in effect, rewarded.”
While we may still be waiting on the
Supreme Court’s ruling concerning the
constitutionality of Obamacare, the verdict is already in about whether it will fix
our nation’s health care challenges.

pay out a certain percentage of the premiums they collect in the form of claims.
As Garen points out, insurers are unlikely to offer consumer-directed plans if
the PPACA is fully implemented because
these higher-deductible options “have
lower premiums but not proportionately
lower administrative costs.”
Uniform pricing demands are another
particularly potent ingredient in Obamacare’s harmful prescription.
Instead of insurers being allowed to set
their premiums based on the risk of the
individual or group — the way it has, and
should, be done — the federal mandate
forces nearly everyone to pay the same
premiums while guaranteeing coverage
for all individuals, regardless of pre-existing health conditions.
Only shallow thinkers would board this
boat to economic ruin.
On the surface, it might sound good to
mandate the same price for all, regardless
of their level of health or lifestyle choices.
But who will pay for this policy?
Garen says those in good health “will
overpay for their insurance” and will not,
as a group, benefit from the new law. This
puts insurance companies at odds with

Genuine autism is a truly

would have any problem with
the idea that both voluntary

“Autism,” however, has been

and defined as autism back in
1943 is just one of a number
of conditions now included as
being part of “the autism spectrum.” Many, if not most, of
these conditions are nowhere
near as severe as autism, or
even as clearly defined.
The growing number of children encompassed by a wider
and looser definition of autism
has been trumpeted across the
land through the media as an
“epidemic” of increasing numbers of cases of autism. Before
1990, 1 child out of 2,500 was
said to be autistic. This year, it
is said to be 1 out of 88.

Undoing health law could be messy
BY RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR
AUBURN, Ala. — Investigators were searching Sunday for a gunman who killed three people — including
two former Auburn University football players — and
wounded three others at a pool party near campus after
several men got in a fight over a woman, authorities and
witnesses said.
One of the wounded was shot in the head and critically hurt. Another was a current player, Eric Mack.
Desmonte Leonard opened fire at the Saturday night
party at an apartment complex near the university, Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said. Federal marshals
and police were searching for Leonard, who faces three
counts of capital murder.
Slain were Edward Christian, who had not been playing because of a back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who
had previously quit playing football. The other person
killed was 20-year-old Demario Pitts. Officials also said
Xavier Moss and John Robertson were wounded. Robertson had been shot in the head and was in critical condition; Moss was released from the hospital.

Fight leads to fatal stabbing in Bowling Green
BOWLING GREEN — Police in Bowling Green have
charged a man with murder in the stabbing death of a
man whose body was found in the street of a residential area.
Police arrested 24-year-old Stephan Thomas on Saturday after the stabbing near Veterans Memorial Lane.
Witnesses led police to an apartment where Thomas
was arrested.
The body of 21-year-old Tyrese Huffman was found
by officers responding to a 911 call around 2:45 a.m.
Bowling Green Police say Huffman was stabbed in the
neck. No bond had been set for Thomas.

ELKTON — Police say a Tennessee woman killed in
a crash in southern Kentucky was trying to avoid a deer
carcass on the road.
Julie A. Roberts, of Clarksville, swerved to avoid the
deer and a dog on the highway but lost control of her
SUV and it overturned in Todd County.Roberts was not
wearing a seatbelt and she was thrown from the vehicle.
A passenger in the SUV was also hurt and was taken
to Vanderbilt Medical Center with non-life threatening
injuries. She was also not wearing a seatbelt.
The crash happened around 10:50 p.m. Saturday
night on U.S. Highway 79 in Todd County.
Ditto for preventive care
with no co-payments, now
available to retirees and
working families alike.
Partially overturning the
law could leave hospitals,
insurers and other service
providers on the hook for
tax increases and spending cuts without the law’s
promise of more paying
customers to offset losses.
If the law is upheld, other kinds of complications
could result. The nation is
so divided that states led
by Republicans are largely
unprepared to carry out
critical requirements such
as creating insurance markets. Things may not settle
down. “At the end of the
day, I don’t think any of the
major players in the health
insurance industry or the
provider community really

Pastor denies abusing daughter
Hundreds evacuated as fires spread
BY KATE BRUMBACK
Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. —
Megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar staunchly denied
Sunday that he punched
and choked his 15-year-old
daughter in an argument,
telling his congregation the
allegations made in a police
report are nothing but “exaggeration and sensationalism.”
“I will say this emphatically: I should have never
been arrested,” Dollar said
in his first public appearance two days after police
charged him with misdemeanor counts of simple
battery and cruelty to children.
The pastor got an enthusiastic ovation from the
packed church as he took
the pulpit Sunday at the
World Changers Church
International in metro Atlanta. He addressed the
criminal charges head-on
for several minutes before
moving on to his sermon.
The 50-year-old Dollar is
one of the most prominent
African-American preachers based around Atlanta,
with 30,000 members in
the Atlanta area and a ministry of satellite churches
across the U.S.
He was arrested after his
LAPORTE, Colo. — Firefighters on Sunday were
fighting wildfires that have spread quickly in parched
forests in Colorado and New Mexico, forcing hundreds
of people from their homes and the evacuation of
wolves from a sanctuary.
The Colorado fire, burning in a mountainous area
about 15 miles west of Fort Collins, grew to 22
square miles within about a day of being reported and
has destroyed or damaged 18 structures.
Strong winds, meanwhile, grounded aircraft fighting
a 40-square-mile wildfire near the mountain community of Ruidoso in southern New Mexico. Crews were
working to build a fire line around the blaze, which
started Friday and has damaged or destroyed 36
structures.
It wasn’t immediately clear how many of the structures lost were homes.

George H.W. Bush visits namesake carrier
Associated Press
The Rev. Creflo Dollar gives his Wednesday night service at World Changers Church
International in College Park, Ga., on Nov. 27, 2007. Dollar has been arrested after
authorities said he slightly hurt his 15-year-old daughter in an altercation at his metro
Atlanta home.
15-year-old daughter called
911 at about 1 a.m. Friday
and told a Fayette County
sheriff’s deputy that she
and her father argued when
he said she couldn’t go to
a party. A police report
says the girl told a deputy
her father charged at her,
put his hands around her
throat, began to punch her
and started hitting her with
his shoe. The deputy noted
a scratch on her neck.
The report said the deputy also interviewed Dollar’s
19-year-old daughter, who
said her father grabbed
her sister’s shoulders and
slapped her in the face and
choked her for about five
seconds. She said her sister
tried to break free, but did
not fight back. When her
father threw the 15-yearold on the floor, the older
girl ran to get her mother.
Dollar’s wife, Taffi, told the
deputy she did not see the
fight.
Paterno’s will sealed in unusual move
Associated Press
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — The
last will and testament of
Joe Paterno was ordered
permanently sealed from
public view along with all
related court filings at the
request of a family attorney,
a newspaper reported Sunday.
Even the judge’s order
and the petition by a Paterno attorney requesting
the action were sealed, The
(Wilkes-Barre)
Citizen’s
Voice reported. County records indicate that Paterno’s was the only will sealed
in the county in the past 18
months, the paper said.
A family spokesman said
Sunday that the step was intended to preserve “a measure of privacy” for the family and was “not an unusual
request for high-profile individuals.”
Paterno, who amassed a
Division I record 409 victories in more than four
decades at Penn State, died
from lung cancer in January at age 85, a couple of
months after he was ousted
by the school’s board of
trustees following the explosive child sex abuse allegations against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
On April 5, the will entered probate, the legal process for validating the document, and estate attorney
Raymond Parker petitioned
to keep the matter secret the
same day. Four days later,
a judge ordered the record
sealed.
The decision was “very
strange,” Wilkes-Barre attorney Jerry Chariton, who
has worked on estate law
cases for four decades, told
the paper.
“Would there be reasons
why any family would like
to preserve confidentiality?
Sure, but that would be true
of lots of people,” Chariton
said. “I don’t know what
creates any special situation
here.”
The paper said court officials could not determine
Friday which of the county’s five judges ordered the
Paterno will and case file
sealed. Judge Thomas Kistler, who as president judge
oversees the county courts
system, didn’t return messages left at his chambers
and home. Parker also
didn’t return telephone and
email messages.
Family spokesman Dan
McGinn said Sunday that
the step was recommended
by the estate attorney “in an
attempt to preserve a measure of privacy for the family.”
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Former President
George H.W. Bush was performing ceremonial duties
and posing for photos while visiting an aircraft carrier
named for him off the Maine coast.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, along with their son,
former President George W. Bush, and other family
members flew by helicopter Sunday morning to the
USS George H.W. Bush several miles off Kennebunkport, where the Bushes maintain a family compound.
The 1,092-foot ship is the newest carrier in the
Navy fleet and is the only one whose namesake is
alive.

GOP looks at Obama in bid for Giffords’ seat
PHOENIX — Republicans are focusing on President
Barack Obama, not Gabrielle Giffords, and sensing a
chance to capture the former congresswoman’s seat
in southern Arizona.
Voters are deciding in Tuesday’s special election
whether Republican Jesse Kelly, who narrowly lost to
Giffords in 2010, or Democrat Ron Barber, a former
Giffords aide asked by the lawmaker to pursue the
seat, will complete the remainder of her term.
Giffords relinquished the seat in January to concentrate on her recovery from a gunshot wound to the
head.

Gerald Hodge was noted for great artistic ability in
creating nearly realistic medical illustrations that have
been published hundreds of times in books and publications. He died from cancer at age 91.

DETROIT — Gerald
Parker Hodge, a pioneering,
world-renowned
medical illustrator and
fine artist who specialized
in “fool the eye” paintings, has died at his home
in Michigan, his daughter
said. He was 91.
Hodge died Thursday in
Ann Arbor after a fight with
cancer, said his daughter
and caretaker, Melinda
Hodge of Lock Haven, Pa.
He was a longtime professor at the University of
Michigan, where he founded the master’s program
in medical and biological
illustration in 1964.
His medical and biological illustrations appeared
in hundreds of journals
and books and won repeated recognition from
the Association of Medical
Illustrators.
The students who came
out of Hodge’s program at
Michigan came to dominate the field so much that
five of the six accredited
programs in the late 1990s
were led by its graduates.
“He was a consummate
teacher,” said Gary P.
Lees, chair of the medical illustration program at
Johns Hopkins University
who studied with Hodge at
Michigan. “He was gentle
yet authoritative with his
students.”
At the same time, Hodge
became known in the field as
an “artist’s artist,” someone
who brought an aesthetic excellence to his applied work,
as well as to his fine arts
work in painting and other
media, Lees said.
Hodge’s continued vigor
and influence into his 90s
was apparent when he gave
a demonstration at the illustrators association’s 2011 annual meeting in Baltimore.
“He was such a graphic
master at these techniques
that the young members just
ganged around him,” Lees
said. “People knew that if
they watched Gerald Hodge
at work, they were surely going to learn something.”
He also continued to exhibit his works until about
six months before his death,
when his final show was at
Olivet College, his daughter
said.
Besides Hodge’s widely
known medical illustrations, his botanical illustrations are part of the prestigious collection of the Hunt
Institute for Botanical Documentation at the CarnegieMellon University.

News Briefs
Lift for markets from Spain
rescue could be brief
BY DANIEL WAGNER
Associated Press
A bailout of the crippled
banks of Spain should relieve world financial markets and provide a lift for
stocks in the United States,
which have had a rocky six
weeks because of investor
concern about Europe.
But any boost will be
short-lived, market experts
said Sunday, unless Europe
comes forward quickly with
more bold action to reassure the world that it finally
has a grip on its almost
three-year-old debt crisis.
“I think what we’re all trying to figure out right now
is, is this the end of the concern? Are we tracing out a
bottom or a bear?” said Sam
Stovall, chief equity analyst
at S&P Capital IQ, a market
research firm.
Investors will have their
first chance to react to the
bailout as markets open
Monday. The package includes loans of up to $125
billion for Spanish banks
from Spain’s European
neighbors. It is similar in
concept to how the U.S. government shored up banks
in 2008 with the Troubled
Asset Relief Program, or
TARP.
Despite the turmoil in Europe, last week was the best
of the year for U.S. stocks.
The Standard & Poor’s 500
index rose 3.6 percent,
partly in anticipation of a
Spanish bank rescue. The
fact that it wasn’t a surprise
might limit the further jump

Chief Syrian opposition body
elects Kurd as new leader
Egypt pulls TV spots warning
about talking to foreigners
BEIRUT — Syria’s main opposition
group on Sunday picked a secular Kurd
as its new leader after criticism that the
former head was too autocratic and the
group was becoming dominated by Islamists.
The opposition is trying to pull together
and appear more inclusive by choosing a
member of an ethnic minority.
CAIRO — Egypt’s government has
pulled TV public service announcements
that warned against talking to foreigners
because they might be spies after critics
charged the spots fueled xenophobia and
aimed to tarnish those behind last year’s
uprising. The two spots ran on state and
private television stations for a few days
before ordered them off the air.

Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy speaks during a
news conference at the Moncloa Palace on Sunday.
for stocks, Stovall said.
Peter Tchir, manager of
the hedge fund TF Market
Advisors, said he expects
a rapid gain this week for
many investments, including U.S. and European
stocks and bonds issued by
Spain and other troubled
nations.
He said he expects traders to sell traditionally safe
investments like U.S. Treasurys and German bunds,
which already are paying
zero interest on five-year
debt. Selling would drive
down prices and drive up
interest rates.
For riskier investments
like stocks, “We’ll get a brief
rally on Monday or Tuesday,” Tchir said. “Then peo-
ple will sit around saying,
‘What comes next?’”
As fear about Europe intensified or eased in recent
weeks, traders returned to a
pattern of selling or buying
risky assets based on headlines from overseas, with
little regard to the specific
investment.
As stocks move in lockstep, they are more likely
to rise and fall quickly and
broadly. The three biggest
weekly moves this year for
the S&P — two down, one
up — have all come in the
past month.
Such tight correlation
between investments also
signals “a crisis coming to a
conclusion, rather than just
beginning,” Stovall said.

DUBLIN — An international conference celebrating Roman Catholicism
opened Sunday in Ireland
against a backdrop of anger
over child abuse cover-ups
and evidence of declining
faith in core church beliefs.
About 12,000 Catholics, many from overseas,
gathered for an open-air
Mass in a half-full Dublin
stadium at the start of the
Eucharistic Congress, a
weeklong event organized
by the Vatican every four
years in a different part of
the world. The global gathering, begun in the 19th
century and last held in
Quebec in 2008, highlights
the Catholic Church’s belief
in transubstantiation, the
idea that bread and wine
transforms during Mass
into the actual body and
blood of Jesus Christ.
An opinion poll of Irish
Catholics found that twothirds of Irish Catholics
don’t believe this, nor do
they attend Mass weekly.
The survey, published in
The Irish Times with an
error margin of 3 points,
also found that just 38
percent believe Ireland
today would be in worse
shape without its dominant
church. Such views reflect
rapid secularization and
alienation with the church

in Ireland, where church
and state once were tightly
intertwined. The last time
Ireland hosted the Eucharistic Congress in 1932,
more than 1 million packed
Dublin’s Phoenix Park for
Mass with nary a dissenting voice.
This time, Ireland’s
opening soccer match
Sunday in the European
Championship is dominating public attention and excitement. So much so that
the congress blog had to
point out to visitors that all
the Irish flags on display on
buildings, shops and taxis
represented
excitement
about the football, not the
faith.

National Summary: As steamy air surges into the Midwest and mid-Atlantic, drenching showers
and thunderstorms will overspread the South today. Meanwhile, potentially severe thunderstorms
will rumble from the western Great Lakes to Kansas and Arkansas. Brisk winds will whip over the
northern Plains. Temperatures will rise across much of the West.
