BR.OTHER.S Husband wants daughter to get a nose job · Dr. Dear Brothers: My husband recently has developed a bizarre obsession with our daughter's nose. While I think there's nothing at all wrong with it, my husband insists it ·s crooked and large. He insists that we start up a savings account in order to fund some plastic surgery for next year. Thank God our daughter knows nothing of these debates, as I fear it would completely min her selfesteem. How can I make my husband revert back to sanity'? ...! K.P. Dear K.P.: It is a shame that your husband has gone on this crusade, for it can be a signal that he does not accept his daughter the way she is. On the other hand, he may be a very empathetic person who thinks he knows how your daughter feels. and that changing her appearance will make her feel better about herself and will afford her a happier experience in high school and beyond. He may have been plagued by doubts of his own as a youth if there was something about his appearance he didn't like small stature or flabby muscles or crooked teeth. Why don't you try to probe a bit as to his motivation? It might at least lend some logic to the situation. Whatever is driving him, the fact that your daughter hasn't asked for the surgery or expressed any interest in changing her appearance is w·hat should guide your decision. If you want to.initiate a conversation about plastic surgery in ge~er­ al, that is up to you, but if she picks up on the topic, I would' emphasize that you parents (as a couple) are willing to explore financing an operation: not that you \vant her to have one. I agree that having Dad decide what your daughter needs in order to look better could be hurtful. The sooner you make that clear to him - however noble his motivations - the better. Only your daughter knows if her nose is an issue. She needs to feel unconditional love from both of you. no matter what. Dr. Joyce Brothers garage shelter as he tries · to find them homes.

The black members said the racism that has been attributed to ·the tea party movement came from outsiders who infiltrated the groups to discredit their work and it should be rejected. ''These people do not oppose Barack Obama because of his skin color. They oppose him because of his policies:' said Lloyd Marcus. a spokesman for the group. The NAACP lastmonth approved a resolution condemning racism within the tea party movement and called on activists to "repudiate the racist element and activities.. within the political movement. . At the news conference. several members assailed Obama and the Democrats. often jn harsh terms. ''Democrats have re-enslaved America,'' said Kevin Jackson. president of the Black Conservative Coalition. He said tea party achvtsts. if successful, would reduce the size of government and set 111 motion another Emancipation Proclamation, the document that President Abraham Lincoln signed that effectively ended slavery. ''This time, even the white folks get freed." said Jackson. who accused Obama of viewing fellow blacks as "mongrels.'' Other speakers called Democrats white supremacists and elitists. Conservative Moms for America leader Mary tlaker said Democrats were pushing "anti-God politics." "Destroy America. That's what the D in Democrat Party means.'' she said.

Revenue from high-end jewelry. which had held steady in June, plummeted in July from a year earlier, when the figures already were dismal. Furniture also suffered as the boost from homebuyer tax credits wore off. Shoppers even pulled back on shoes and children's clothing, while luxury spending - excluding baubles was virtually unchanged. The figures from MasterCard Advisors' SpendingPulse. which include transactions in all fonns including cash. signal that spending remains choppy as shoppers grapple with an almost 10' percent unemployment rate and tight credit. · Online revenue offered one bright spot, gaining for the 12th straight month. But travel spending - including airlines. trains. rental cars and hotels - also rose from July 2009, when it fell almost 2 percent. The second-straight month with weak luxury sales contrasts with earlier in the year when the wealthy spent a bit more freely. The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has tumbled 9.5 percent since its high-water mark in late April, and home values fell 3.2 percent in the first quarter. according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home-price index. The latest data from SpendingPulse follows government reports, released Thesday. that also show consumers being picky about how they spend their money. The Commerce Department said personal spending was unchanged in June. the third straight lackluster month. And the personal savings rate rose to 6.4 percent of after-tax incomes in June. "The tide (in spending) doesn't seem to be rising overall." said Michael McNamara. vice president of research and analysis for SpendingPulse. "There hasn't been a consistent improvement that has been sustainable." Instead, shoppers seem to be shifting their spending more than usual each month. he said, including extra movement in July away from discretionary items. "Recoveries tend to not happen in straight lines," he said. "We are m a trough. but the question is. how long will the trough last?" July marks the end of most retailers' fiscal second quarter. But it's the least important month in the quarter because stores use it to clear out summer leftovers and bring in fresh fall merchandise. This year. stores discounted more than planned in July on sununer items to pull in recession-scarred shoppers. whose confidence in the economy is falling. Here are SpendingPulse 's figures comparing revenue for July 4 through July 31 with the same period a year earlier. by product category. • CLOTHING (at mall-based stores): Overall clothing sales slipped 1.1 percent from a year ago. when they dropped 5.2 percent. Children's clothing fell 3.7 percent, the first decline in 10 months. Revenue in women's clothing fell 1.9 percent, while men's clothing sales dropped 16.3 percent. • FOOTWEAR: Down 2.9 percent from a year ago when rev- enue fell 7.4 percent. • LUXURY: E"cluding jewelry, revenue rose a meager 0.2 percent. compared with a year ago when business was down 16.3 percent. • JEWELRY: [)own l .?. \)ercent overall.

(AP) - A 16-year-old boy searching for his cell phone in the cushions of his friend's couch found a wallet with $650 inside. Jack Wagster and friend Nick Gorman told Nick's ~~er, who bought the couch from a couple in , .k!and, Wash. A Facebook search found the wallet's owner- 28year-old Alanna Jensen, who now lives in Arizona. She lost her billfold in 2005 at a party. She told The Daily Herald of Everett she was excited and grateful to get it back. She gave th~ boys $25 rewards and the mother, Tracee Gorman, a $20 gift card for coffee. Phillips from Page At agreed that a settlement was the best solution. "I have worked to build strong relationships with community leaders across the political spectrum. and I look forward to working together for solutions and for a stronger community," Phillips said in her statement. "I believe it is important to have fair and honest elections about issues. Ads containing false statements, such as the one' in this case, have no place in (the) process." "It is important to hold organizations and individuals responsible for their actions and keep our political process open and accountable." Phillips said the agreement shows her and the GOP's commitment to open, honest and fair elections. "People expect us to put aside partisan differences and work together.

Howard. Edwards and Brown used the false numbers and credit information to purchase six new homes worth more than $2.7 million, prosecutors said. All three were sentenced earlier this year for their roles in a $12.6 million mortgage scheme in the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit. They were among 18 people who have pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme, which involved 25 upscale homes. "Local FBI agents dug deeper into a mortgage fraud scheme that resulted in a multimillion dollar loss in the Lee's Summit area," Phillips said. "By digging deeper into that mortgage fraud scheme, investigators uncovered a second scheme, a credit history fraud scheme that was operating in the shadows of the mortgage fraud scheme." Neither WashamHawkins nor Bartlett has been taken into custody, but Phillips said arrangements are being made for them to surrender. The Associated Press reported earlier this week that federal agents have discovered a proliferation of companies that Social sell stolen Security numbers disguised as credit repair tools called credit profile numbers. also known as credit privacy numbers, or CPNs. Investigators say children are prime targets because most won't use their Social Security numbers to get credit for several years, which means fraudsters can use their numbers for long periods of time undetected.

The North American Olive Oil Association, which represents most olive oil importers. has conducted tests on its imported products and found problems with only 1 percent of samples, according to its president, Bob Bauer. When the UC Davis study was released last month, Bauer questioned its objectivity because it was financed in part by California olive producers. Bauer did not return a message left Wednesday after business hours. The United States is the world's third-largest consumer of olive oil, 99 percent of which comes from foreign producers. The lawsuit comes as the U.S. Department of Agriculture prepares to adopt scientifically verifiable standards for nomenclature such as "virgin" or "extra virgin" in an effort to clear up concerns about labeling accuracy.

Soldier pleads no contest in homeless attack 2 die in barn collapses at Ohio's A biggest egg farm BY LISA CORNWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS Bv JEANNIE Nuss ASSOCIATED P~ESS CROTON Winds reaching 70 mph knocked over three barns being renovated Wednesday at the state's largest egg farm, killing two workers, authorities said. Two construction workers who were laying concrete blocks at Ohio Fresh Eggs were killed in one of the barns, said Bill Schwaderer, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Three other workers escaped with minor injuries. Authorities blamed the barn collapses on high winds. The National Weather Servi'ce said the area, about 25 miles northeast of Columbus, was hit by a line of strong thunderstorms with winds estimated at 60 to 70 mph. Strong winds also blew down a 10 -foothigh brick wall at a school construction site in Edgerton, near the Ohio-Indiana state line, killing a worker. and knocked three semitrailers onto their sides on a high\',·ay in central Ohio. The barns at Ohio Fresh Eggs, which pro: duces about 5 million eggs per day at operations in three counties, had been empty of hens for several years and \Vere being renovated, Schwaderer said. Water and electricity had been turned off for the renovation. The barns were at least 15 years old, Monroe Township fire Chief Dudley Wright said.

The other three charged in the beating are Michael Hesson, 24, of Cincinnati; Spc. Travis Condor, 25; and Spc. Matthew MacMurtrie. 22. They are scheduled for a pretrial hearing Aug. 19. The four men had been drinking when one of them suggested that they go out and "kick somebody's butt,'' Cincinnati police said. They then decided to target a homeless person they didn·· know, police said. "They kept calling me a bum and telling me to get a job," Johnson said in April. He suffered a fractured cheekbone and had cuts and bruises over his body. Hesson lives in the Cincinnati area, and police said the other three men apparently were in town for the weekend and got together with him and other friends before the beating.

AROUND OHIO Island and South Carolina received approval. The states estimate their efforts could help up to 50.000 homeowners. Ohio will receive S 172 million - the largest amount of money. That could aid around 15.000 homeowners by helping borrowers pay their mortgage for up to a year while they search for jobs. It could also provide incentives for mortgage companies to reduce borrowers' mortgage balances. The Obarna administration has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small dent in the problem. More than 40 percent. or about 530.000 homeowners, have fallen out of the administration's main effort to assist those facing foreclosure. That program provides lenders with incentives to reduce mortgage payments. So far, it has provided permanent help to about 390.000 homeowners, or 30 percent of the 1.3 million who have enrolled since March 2009. Man banished from Ohio town to be re-sentenced WADSWORTii (AP) A man essentially ordered to keep out of an Ohio community two years ago over repeated calls to City Hall will be re-sentenced. Barberton resident Jeffrey Aberegg admits to calling police and other departments in nearby Wadsworth numerous times beginning in 200 I, because of problems with his ex-\vife and other individuals. The city south of Cleveland says the calls interfered with official business, and in 2008 Aberegg was convicted of telecommunications harassment. In an unusual sentence, the judge ordered him to stay off city property for five years. Wadsworth's law director says that included streets and sidewalks, meaning Aberegg was banished. The Ohio public defender's office appealed. and the city has agreed to re-sentencing. No date has been set. Ohio judge delays ruling in Christian runaway case COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio juvenile court jud~e says ~he'll issue a decision Thursday in the case of a runaway Christian convert at odds with her Muslim parents and trying to avoid deportation. The judge Wednesday told attorneys for 17year-old Rifqa Bary and her parents to submit arguments before the court mles on whether Bary. an illegal immigrant from Sri Lanka, can receive special immigration status allowing her to stay in the U.S. Bary's attorneys say the girl is battling uterine cancer. Bary ran away from h01ne last year saying s. feared harm for conve ing to Christianity. Judges placed her in foster care. The immigration status of the parents, \vho live in Columbus, is unclear. Attorneys have been under an order not to talk about the case. Judge dismisses federal lawsuit COLUMBUS (AP) A federal court in Ohio has dismissed a lawsuit that claimed former state employees violated ''Joe the Plumber's" constitutional rights by illegally accessing his personal infom1ation. Republicans hailed Samuel "J~ Wurzelbacher of suburb. . Toledo in 2008 as an example of the middleclass worl<er who would be hurt economically by a Barack Obama presidency. Wurzelbacher sued Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelley and two other department officials. He claimed they were retaliating against him for speaking out against Obama and violated his privacy. Jones-Kelley and one ofticial resigned and the third lost his job. The U.S. District Court said Wednesday that the retaliation claims· were not concrete enough and the privacy claims did not amount to constitutional violations.

''More importantly, I want to look at three or four plays I didn't get right: I've got to see what went wrong, go back out and do it right." Robiskie had almost forgotten what the end zone looked like. After scoring 24 touchdowns among his 127 career catches in college and being a highly touted second-round draft choice, he did little as the Browns started 1-11 a year ago. He had just seven catches in 11 games, and four of them carne in a 30-23 loss to San Diego in December. "The good thing about all the bad stuff is ·that last season is over," Robiskie said. "It's done, finished. We're all here working on a new season and with a real positive attitude." The son of former Browns head coach Terry Robiskie is wellschooled on the game's finer points, but discovered the transition from college star to professional player is not a snap. "It helped that my dad told me things, but until you experience it yourself you just don ' t know," Robiskie said. ''I've learned a lot. I'm more comfortable. I also know I'll never quit learning and can always get better." New team president Mike Holmgren believes the slender receiver has gained mental strength from his rough rookie season. "High draft choices , rookie receivers. it's a different world for most of them." Holmgren said. "You'll see a lot of fine college receivers drafted high, come in their first year and kind of putz it around a little bit. Then the second year, bang, because now I get it. Brian has a chance to be someone like that." Coach Eric Mangini isn't sure why Rol;>iskie didn't catch on immediately, though he likes what he's seen early in camp. ''Sometimes it takes guys a year to really get a sense of the system, get a sense of the league, get a sense of requirements. all those things," Mangini said. Veterans . Delhomme and Seneca Wallace were brought in at quarterback to replace Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn, who were jett!soned after last season s offensive debacle when. The Browns scored fewer than 10 points in seven · of their first I 0 games. "These two guys have a lot of insight," Robis~e said of his new passmg partners. "Whenever the • quarterbacks give you an opportunity. you want to help them out. You get excited. Every receiver wants to get . the ball. We've changed our offensive schemes and that should help." One new wrinkle on display has nothing to do with Robiskie. yet looks promising. The athletic Wallace and all-purpose speedster Josh Cribbs. a quarterback in college, lined up in the backfield. The defense didn't know which man would take the long snap - or whether he would run, pass or flip it to the other guy. ''I like the progress we are making in some of our speedl;>all stuff," Mangini said. Robiskie has been Delhomme 's favorite target in traditional sets. The former Carolina Panthers starter also found tight end Ben Watson and Cribbs several times Wednesday. "Brian's a very precise r o u t e - r u n n e r • ,. Delhomme said. "He does extremely well locating the football in the air. He has a great sense of timing and body control to catch deep balls." Robiskie is more concerned with getting the Browns to break out of the pack in the AFC North than having a breakout season. "I just feel like I am making progress," he said. "I think it comes from seeing progress from the entire team. Everybody is more comfortable, more confident." (630) and Sammy Sosa (609). The next youngest was Ruth at 36 years, 196 days. The ball he hit was the 104th specially marked one that had been used for each of his plate appearances since reaching No. 599. The Yankees immediately put commemorative T-shirts on sale at concession stands for $25 each. and one stand behind home plate sold out within two innings. The milestone homer provided a lift during a trying stretch for the Yankees, who had lost three in a row. Not only have they watched the Tampa Bay Rays pass them for first flace in the AL East, of the field they are still mourning the recent loss of owner George Steinbrenner. beloved public-address announcer Bob Sheppard and former manager Ralph Houk. Despite saying he's been more relaxed than he was when trying for his SOOth homer, Rodriguez went just 9 for 46 after homering on July 22, the longest stretch between Nos. 599 and 600 for any of the seven to reach the mark. Mays was next at 21 atbats, according to STATS LLC. A-Rod Reds Thursday,August5,2010 went 28 without a home nm before 500. "I know Alex is going to be fine." Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before the game. "Maybe .1 lead him off one day so he can hit the home run in the first inning and get it over with." Girardi laughed at his own joke. ''No. I mean, he's our cleanup hitter and he's going to be fine," Girardi said. "And yeah. I mean. he's struggling a little bit. But it's not like all of our hitters have, you know. have not went through struggles." Rodriguez entered the game 4 for 17 with one home run against Marcum. He received a brief ovation when he came up again in the third ·inning, then grounded out to shortstop. He also popped out to shortstop with two on in the fifth. The Yankees' slugger turned 35 last Tuesday, putting his home run • pace far ahead of the rest. Ruth reached the mark in 1931 at fewer games, though - 2,044 to 2,227. In the three years since hitting No. 500. much changed for has Rodriauez. Durlna a tumultuous spring t~aining of 2009. he admitted to using steroids while playing for the Texas Rangers from 2001-03. He also had major hip surgery that kept him out the first month last year. as the team adjusted to highprofile newcomers CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira without him. He returned with a fresh outlook that put the team first, helping lead the Yankees to their tirst World Series championship since 2000 and reversing a trend of personal playoff failures. Even though he went homerless in his first 41 at~bats this. year and has connected at a much slower rate compared to the rest of his career. the 13-time All-Star has been saying that No. 600 is merely a springboard to bettei· things - mainly helping his team win, but also reaching Bonds' record of. 762 home runs. Being the home run king comes with a tarnished crown, though. After Bonds eclipsed Aaron's record with his 756th in 2007 amid accusations of steroid use - something Bonds vehemently denies talk immediately turned t~ A-Rod. who days earher had become the fastest to No. ,500. He was supposed to be the player wh~ .. would restore credibility to American sports' most cherished record, but that alJ changed two years later. In response to a Sportslllustrated.com report and mounting speculation, A-Rod admitted to using steroids as he hit 156 homers with Texas. He has 255 with the Yankees and 189 with the Seattle Mariners, who picked him No. 1 in 1993 amateur draft. Rodriguez is among only three players, alon&a with Reggie Jackson an ~ Darrell Evans. to hit I 00 home runs for three different teams. , For one of the most scrutinized players in baseball, there was little fanfare in the run-up to No. 600 - perhaps it's Steroid Era fatigue or the fact that Rodriguez became the fourth player to reach the mark in the last I 0 years after none in 31 years. The pursuit of the home run record gets lucrative now. As part of his $275 million, 10-year deal signed after opting out of his contract during the 2007 World Series, Rodriguez can earn up to $30 million more for six milestone homers. The first would be tying Willie Mays. He· d get $6 million more each time for matching Ruth,. Aaron and Bonds and breaking the record. Rodriguez hit No. 100 in August 1998 with Seattle. No. 200 in May. 200 I and No. 300 in April 2003 with Texas. His 400th home run came on June 8, 2005, against Milwaukee during his second season with the Yankees. get to Cueto. taking two of three games in Pittsburgh, won their sixth in eight games overall as they enjoy being in first place this late in the season for the first time since the final week of the 1999 season. They own a one-game lead over St. Louis, which played Houston on Wednesday night. ..Yeah, we've got to keep winning series and hopefully you throw a sweep or two in there somewhere." manager Dusty Baker said. "That's when you get on a winning streak that we really haven't had. We've been playing steady ball. but we've got a winning streak coming pretty soon." The Reds' longest winning streak is. five games, accomplished three times. Cincinnati has won eight of its last l 0 against the Pirates (37-70). who became the tirst NL team to reach the 70-loss mark. Pinch-hitter Jeff Clement had a two-run homer in the seventh against Bill Bray and rookie Pedro Alvarez hit a solo drive in the ninth for Pittsburgh. The Pirates, fast closing in on a record.extending 18th consecutive losing season. are on pace to lose 107 games. Only one Pirates team since 1890 have lost that many games - the 1952 Pirates lost 112 times in a 154-game season.

Woods has high hopes about his game AKRON. Ohio (AP) A two-hour window Wednesday provided a snapshot of a strange year for Tiger Woods. The ·guy famous for sweeping dew off the ~rass with his crack-of-aawn practice rounds arrived shortly before lunch on the eve of the Bridgestone Invitational to play nine holes at Firestone. That's not terribly unusuaL for Woods knows Firestone as well as any other course, and it's where he made his'tory1 last year as the only player to win a PGA Tour . event seven times on the same course. One tee shot into his practice round, the siren sounded because of dangerous weather. He wound up playing only four holes. This year has been anything but routine. Woods didn't start unti I the Masters while coping with the fallout from his extramarital affairs. He has gone seven toumaments without winning, the · longest drought at the start of any season since he turned pro. And in comments that were veiled yet somewhat revealing, W<Xxls said the distractions he faces in his personal life affect him a'i much during practice as they do during tournament<;. "I haven't been able to practice as long as I normally have when I've been out here." Woods said. "People have been wanting more of my time. I've had more things going on once r m at a toumament site than I have in the past. and for different reasons. That's•obviously taken a little bit of a toll on, my preparation. ''Things are starting to normalize." he said. "And that's been a good sign." Who wants more of his time'? Woods didn't elaborate. He has refused to answer questions about his personal life. Notah Begay, one of his best friends. mentioned last month at a press conference that Woods is going through a divorce, which most have suspected. That would be one thing that Woods couldn "t tum over to his business team to handle. "It's been difficult'' Woods said. "It's been a trying time for a lot of people who are friends of mine and who know me. It"s been tough. no doubt." As for the golf? Woods believes it's getting closer. and only he knows. The results have not been impressive. especially considering the places he has been. This was supposed to be the year that Woods. with his 14 majors, made inroads into the record 18 majors won hy Jack Nicklaus. But he fell apart early in the final round at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open. and after opening with a 65 in easy conditions at St. Andrews. he was never a factor the rest of the week. The culprit has been putting, and Woods attributes that to not getting the right speed. He also attributed it to lack of pmctice. ·'Just had to go back to basics and practice a little bit mote,'' Woods s~tid. "[ haven't worked on my GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) - The Cincinnati Bengals are waiting on offensive tackle Andre Smith again. The former first-round draft pick has yet to get on the practice field with his Bengals teammates. He's working out on his own. trying to get in shape and get beyond foot problems that held him back as a rookie. There's no telling whether he '11 be ready to start the season. ·-'I'm not going to worry about him until he's in there," offensive 1 line coach Paul Alexander said between practices Wednesday. "That's the only way you can operate." So far. Smith has been one of the Bengals' biggest disappointments. They took him with the sixth overall pick last year out of Alabama, where he was a dominating run blocker. They were so concerned about his weight problems that they sent an assistant coach to weigh him a few days before the draft, and only then decided to make him their choice. He got into a contract holdout that forced him to miss much of training camp in Georgetown and the tirst three preseason games. He finally agreed to a deal that includes a weight clause _ he loses half of his paycheck if he weighs more than 350 pounds or isn't on the 45man roster. Two days after he JOined the team, he broke his left foot during a noncontact drill. The injury limited him to six games, including only one start, last season. He had foot surgery when the season ended, and has been slow to get back into playing condition. Coach Marvin Lewis said Smith might end up on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he would miss the first six games. ''Andre stays on the progression of the doctor." Lewis said. ''We'll see. But if not, then we still have the right to put him on the PUP and bring him in duting the season. We'll see how that goes with the whole foot and · that entire thing." putting probably as much as I should have the last couple of years. So had to go back to that."
