AP Sotomavor sidesteps on abortion, guns in grilling BY JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS ASSOCIATED PRESSWRITER Vv ASHINGTON Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor sidestepped volleys of pointed questions on abortion and gun rights from senators Wednesday . keeping her demeanor cool and her opinions mostly private as she neared the end of a marathon gri ll ing on the road to all but sure confirmation .

The appeals court judge, 55. avoided weighing in on any major issue that could come before her as a justice. instead using legal doctrine. carefully worded deflections and even humor to ward off efforts to pin her down. Appearing more at ease on her third day in the witness chair. Sotomayor defused a tense exchange on gun rights by joking about shooting a GOP critic and charmed Democratic supporters with nostalgic praise for fictional attorney Perry Mason. Republicans, frustrated in their attempts to undercut President Barack Obama 's first high court choice. said they were still worried Sotomayor would bring bias and a political agenda to the bench. "It's muddled. confusing: backtracking on issue after issue," complained Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama. the top Republican on the Judiciary panel. " I frankly am a bit disappointed in the lack of clarity and consistency in her answers." Her tulings - except for a much-debated reverse discrimination case - have not shed much light on her positions either, though she is considered unlikely to disturb the Supreme Court balance in replacing generally liberal Justice David Souter. On abortion rights for example. Sotomayor has not ruled on any case that squarely confronts the issue. As an appeals court judge she dismissed a challenge to the so-called global gag rule on U.S. foreign aid, deciding against an abortion rights group. But in her opinion she used the phrases "anti-abortion·· and "prochoice," typically used by abortion rights supporters. The hearings are expected to conclude Thursday with testimony from outside witnesses. and a vote by the AP photo pregnancy in certain cases:· Sotomayor told Sen. Tom Coburn.

' Obama has first success in health care overhaul Senate confmns ex-astronaut. WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama achieved a milestone Wednesday \vhen a Senate committee approved a plan to revamp the U.S. health care system. The Senate panel's action, which attracted no Republican votes, came as the president's campaign organization rolled out television ads to build support for his top domestic' priority. Obama met with Republicans at the White House in search of an elusive bipartisan compromise on his call to expand coverage to the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans as wen as restrain spending Increases in health care. · But the 13-10 party-line vote in the Senate health committee signaled a deep.ening rift in Congress. While Democrats respond to Obama's call for action with renewed determination. Republicans are using harsher words to voice their • misgivings. In the House. Democrats began pushing legislation through the first of three com~ittees, although moderate and conservative members of the rank and file were demanding changes. In the Senate, lawmakers were considering fees on health insurance companies as a new source 9f potential financing for a $1 trillion package that's short on funds. "We have delivered on the promise of real change," Sen. Ch1istopher Dodd. DConn., said as he presided over the Senate health committee vote. alluding not only to his bill but also to Obama ·s campaign promise. The president was in the Rose Garden for the latest in a daily series of public appeals to Congress to ..step and meet our responsibilities" and move legislation this summer. Obama al-;q pushed his message in network television interviews. telling employers vr, that his plan would require them to offer benefits or face a fine. "If you can afford it, either give your employees health insurance or pay into the pot so that we're not subsidizing you," Obama told CBS News. He also reversed a campaign stance against requiring everyone to buy health care coverage. ''I'm now in favor of some sort of individual mandate as long as there's a hardship exemption," he said. "If somebody truly just can't afford health insurance even with the subsidies that the government is now providing, we don't want to double penalize them.'' Wednesday's Senate health committee vote ''should make us hopeful but it can't make us complacent.'' Obama said. "'It should instead provide the urgency for both the House and the Senate to finish their critical work on health reform before the August recess." The health panel's $615 billion measure would require individuals to get and health insurance employers to contribute to the cost. The bill calls for the government to provide financial assistance with premiums for individuals and families making up to four times the federal poverty level. or abmlt $88.000 for a family of four, a broad cross-section of the middle class. Obama wants the House and Senate to act on health care this summer so lawmakers can reconcile differences in their respective bills after Labor Day and put final legislation on his desk this fall. Obama 's all-out effort since he returned from hi~ overseas tnp last week has "galvanized things." Sen. Charles Schumer. D-N .Y.. said. Obama met at the White House with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Bob Corker of Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. "I urged him not to msh consideration of the bill." Collins told reporters later. "This bill is going to affect vittually every American. If the president tries to rush this through in the next two weeks ... I fear the process will be very divisive." Another senior Republican, whom Obama courted only a few months ago to become his commerce secretary. also sounded alarm bells. "This supposed health care fi:-: is a health care failure and a disaster for the American people," Sen. Judd Gregg, RN.H .• said. ''We still have time to tum this process around instead of steamrolling our country into a sub-par government-run plan, but it will require serious action from Democrats and Republicans and a pledge to put politics aside." The debate is taking on a campaign-like edge. In the cross-hairs are moderate senators, Democrats and Republicans, whose votes could make the difference in a closely divided Senate. Obama 's political organization launched a series of 30-second television ads on health care, which were to begin airing Wednesday in Washington and on cable TV nationally. A version will run for two weeks on local stations in Arkansas. Indiana, Florida. Louisiana, Maine,_ North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio to prod senators to back the health care effort. In the ads. private citizens describe problems they've had with the medical system and say it's time for action. The sponsor is Organizing for America.

Obama planned White House meetings Thursday with Nelson and Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine. another potential swing vote. Obama supports a government-tUn insurance plan to compete with private insurers. bu1 he says he doesn't want to overturn the system of employer-sponsored health benefits that has served middle-class families for better than half a century. He wants the legislation to be fully paid for and the total cost kept around $1 trillion over 10 years. ''The American people have to recognize that there's no such thing as a free lunch, right?'' Obama told NBC News. "So we can't just provide care to everybody that has no costs whatsoever." Wednesday's vote in the Health. Education. Labor and Pensions committee took the Senate only part of the way toward passage of an overhaul bill. Another the Finance panel. Committee. still has to unveil its approach. The plan is to combine the two bills for a floor vote. Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., met Wednesday with committee Democrats to try to settle how to pay for the bill and other issues, and later met with moderate Democrat~ who don' t sit on his panel. Obama has pushed Baucus to have a bill ready by week's end. but Baucus declined to say whether he· d made a timetable commitment to the president or whether he'd be able to deliver by Friday. "We're just not quite there:· Baucus said. Baucus is aiming for a biprutisan bill. He"praised ·the health committee's work but said of their legislation: 'T hat's a partisan bill." Bolden to head NASA WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate confirmed on Wednesday retired astronaut Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden as administrator of NASA, just in time for the agency's 40th space anniversary celebrations of man's first steps on the moon. His confirmation also came just hours after the launch of space shuttle Endeavour, which began a 16-day mission to the international space station. The Senate confirmed Bolden to head the National Aeronautics and Space Administration without objection. Bolden, who has flown in space four times and was an assistrult deputy administrator at one point, will be the agency's first black administrator. Former NASA associate administrator Lori Garver was also confinned as the agency's No.2. The confirmation allo\\ s Bolden to be sworn in by July 20. I 969. 40 years after the Apollo II moon landing. Bolden told senators last week that if the U.S chooses to lead in technology, it must commit to. among other measures. inspiring the rising generation of children to contribute in the fields of science and engineering as well as enhancing NASA'-, ability and expertise in understanding Earth's environment.

Bolden would inherit a NASA that doesn't look • much like the still-somewhat-fresh-from-the-moon agency he joined as an astronaut in 1980. NASA now "is faced with a lot of uncertainty:· former Johnson Space Center Director George Abbey has said. President George W. Bush set in motion a plan to retire the space shuttle fleet at the end of next year and return astronauts to the moon and then head out to Mars in a series of rockets and capsules that borrows heavily from the 1960s Apollo program. The shuttle ·s replacement won't • ready until at least 2015. for five years the only way Americans will be able to get in space is by hitching a ride on a Russian space capsule.

Richard Truly \vas the first. In 2002, Bush unsuccessfully tried to appoint Bolden as the o;pace agency's deputy administrator. The Pentagon said it needed to keep Bohlen, who was a Marine maJor general at the time and a pilot who flew more than · 100 sorties in Vietnam.

Thought for Today: ''What \Vas most significant about the lunar voyage was not that man set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth." - Norman Cousins. American author and journalist ( 1915-1990). Thursday, July 16, 2009 In Iraq, soldiers still suffering, dying The first I heard about \\hat happened to Lt. Col. Timothy Karcher. the last U.S. commander of Sadr City who recent!) igncd over jurisdiction to Iraqis, was from a reader. H~ emailed me about my last column. which argued that "allies" don't declare victory over cuch other (as Iraq's prime minister Nouri aiMaliki dcdarcd .. , ictory" over the United States). and the sooner we rcali1e Iraq isn't our "all)." the better. It also bemoaned the U.S. military's deference to Iraq, quoting top brass beginning with Gen. Ravmond Odierno and including Lt. Col. K'archcr, in their execution of what I, myself, consider a futile U.S. policy to Westernize Islamic culture:.. "I appreciate )OUr fenor and feelings about Mr. alMaliki 's comments. but I must say that your biting commentary regarding the quote from Lt. Col Karcher has driven me to reply.'' he wrote. "You may not be aware," he continued. but since signing over jurisdiction to the Iraqis. Lt. Col. Karcher suffered a roadside bomb attack and lost both legs. One of his men, Sgt. Timoth) David of Beaverton. Mich. - a veteran of six tour~ in lrnq and Afghanistan - was killed by a second EFP. I was not aware. This grie\ ous attack received scant coverage. Pieced together, news briefs tell us that on June 28 - two days before Iraq's ''victory" ccle bration, and 10 days after Lt. Col. Karcher ~i!!ncd over jurisdiction to Iraq the vehicle Lt. Col. Karcher was riding in near Sadr.Cit) drove over an explostvel) formed penetrator ( EFP. also called an explosively formed projectile), the particularly lethal. Iralllanmade roadside bomb. The blast severed both leg~ abo-.c the knees. After delivering their commander Baghdad's Combat to Support Hospi~l. his men were hit by a second EFP. It was then that Sgt. David was killed. ~ Lt. Col. Karcher is now hospitalized at Walter Reed in Washington D.C. Sgt. David , 28. was buried in Beaverton. Mich.. this week. Whether al-Maliki counts this as another "great victor)" over the "foreign pre::.ence'' in Iraq. we don't know. The incident elicited no statements. no calls for an investigation into how and why. s~hortly after turning over securit) re<;ponsibilities to the 11th Iraqi STAHLER.· za::9 HA~~y be in!! under orders 'is ne' cr a sufficient excuse. But are statements made in ham1's way exempt from civilian critique'? Of co~rse not . will say that pnor knm cdot! of Lt. Col. Karcher in/~uies would certainly have affected my last column. I would have been 10 times more furious about the U.S. foreign policy. from President Bu~h 's to President Oharna 's, that has placed o.ur best and brnv~st patriob Jn mortal danger tor ''hat increasin~ly appear.., to be. certainlv . . - ,.m these last ··democratlztng years, a Ion!! and costly mi..,adventure with no discerniole benefit to the United States. When even such patljots. howe\ er, engage in PR to promote Iraq as an "ally," cosset al-Maliki'~ delusional machismo like a dysfunctional family member. or trumpet an ill-wnceived mission to Westerni:te Islamic cultures. I can't help but respond. That said. there are not adequate phrases to impre•.· · upon the Karcher family t depth of my condolences o the sincerity of my wishes for the recovery. body and mind. of Lt. Col. Timoth) Karcher.

Almost needless to <;ay, Obama ducked it, declining to pronounce upon the legitimacy of Iran's government.

Armstrong finished safely in the main pack, with his Astana teammate Alberto Contador natTowly ahead of him in second place overall after Wednesday's 119-mile trek from Vatan to SaintFargeau. Nocentini leads Contador b> six seconds and Am1strong trails by eight. " I feel in · very good shape.'' Nocentini said. ''I hope to keep the yellow jersey.'' Nocentini was among the riders who fell in two early crashes, giving Belgian rider Johan Van Summeren and Marcin Sapa of Poland the opportunity to break away after 18.7 miles. "I was· in a fall, but nothing too serious. I didn't hurt myself." Nocentini said. " I managed to get' back up and finish calmly." Cavendish sealed his second straight stage win and fourth of the Tour. The British cyclist finished about half a bike length ahead of American Tyler Farrar in a sprint finish on a flat stage. The 24-year-old Cavendish finished in 4 hours, 17 minutes. 55 seconds. Am1strong, who did not stop for reporters after the stage, finished in 54th place. Contador was 43rd. "Fast start, crashes a plenty, then a breakaway." Armstrong wrote on his Twitter feed. "Ended up being pretty relaxed. Cav wins again. (No.) 4 for him. Congrats to him.'' Cavendish took the green jersey from Thor Hushovd of Norway, who finished fifth, and equaled -British rider Barry Hoban's tally of eight Tour stage wins. "I was able to get the jump on Thor and win. so it was pt!rfect," Cavendish said. "It was just beautiful the way the guys could adapt to the situation and deliver me to the sprint." Cavendish will defend the • oreen jersey on another flat ~tage Thursday, a 131-mile trek from Tonnerre to Vittel featuring six small hills.

Mayfield again tests positive for meth B Y JENNA FRYER AP AUTO RACING WRITER NASCAR said Jeremy Mayfield once again tested positive for methamphetamine and asked the federal judge who lifted the driver's drug suspension to reinstate the ban. The positive result from a July 6 random test was included in a U.S. District Court filing Wednesday that included an affidavit from Mayfield's stepmother, who claimed she personally witnessed the driver using methamphetamine at least 30 times over seven years. Mayfield once again denied ever using the illegal drug. ''I don't trust anything NASCAR does, anything (program administrator) Dr. David Black does, never have, never will," Mayfield told The Associated Press in a phone interview. Lisa Mayfield said she first saw the driver use meth in 1998 at a race shop in Mooresville, N.C. She said Mayfield cooked his own drugs until the ingredient pseudoephedrine was takel1 off the shelves and it became too difficult for Mayfield to obtain the ingredients. She said her stepson then began to purchase meth from others. ''Between 1998 and 2005, I am personally aware that Jeremy 'used methamphetamines often:· she said in her affidavit. "I was concerned about his heavy use and talked to his father about it.

Or in his case a few numbers. The 50-year-old Martin has four victories this season, more than any driver in Sprint Cup. His win Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway bumped him to ll th in the points standings. Though he still insists he's driving for fun and for wins, and not points, Ma1tin is a legitimate contender to stay in the top 12 and compete for the Chase for the championship over the season's final J0 races. The number that does not define him is 0. Ab in, no Cup titles over a career that dates to 1981 . Ma1tin is in the thick of the hunt this year for winning that first championship that would stamp the only missing line on a resume that screams Hall of Fame. 'i Martin is hounded by questions about what finally winning the title would mean to him, but NASCAR's senior statesman is not haunted by the thought of ending his career without one. ''I absolutely don't care,'' Martin said. "Let me tell you something, what difference would it make if I had a championship trophy? I don't sec anybody win a chnmpionship and quit. Not in this sport. Would anyone respect me more? I would think that's more important than a trophy. Respect." Marrin has earned as much respect as any driver in the garage. Known for his tire· less work ethic, trademark consistency and his role as a mentor. Martm 1s one of the most admired dri \'ers in NASCAR. "There's no way you should define this guy by what he hasn't done,'' said Alan Gustafson. Martin's crew chief with Hendrick Motorsports. "What he has· done is incredible.'' While Martin has publicly diffused the title talk, Gustafson knows how much a championship would mean to his childhood role model. ''I think he wants to win it worse than anybody out here ... Gustafson said. ''He's just doing the best thing for the team in this situation by trying to avoid it. It becomes such a big topic because he is the best driver in this series - ever - not to win a championship." He's had his opportunities before this golden year.

Andre Maurots, a French biograpt>er, novelist and essayist who died in 1967, said. "In literature. as in love, we are astonished at the choice made by other people." And they at us? At the bridge table. you face many choices on each deal. Consider them all carefully. In this deal, you reach six spades. West leads a low diamond. Wha: line would you choose? You had the values to rebid two spades, but your singleton heart was a disadvantage. Then, when partner jumped to four spades. showing 13·15 support points with four spades, you leapt to six spades. Remember, real bridge players don't need Blackwood. (Yes, all right, it was showboating of you not to bid four no-trump.) At filst glance, with a diamond to lose, you must bank all on the club finesse. If it wins, fine: if it loses, too bad. And as you will have noticed, here you would go down one But making that choice will astonish your partner. He might remonstrate about your choice of play because you ~ad an alternative. You could have taken the heart finesse. If 1t won, you would have discarded both of your dia· mond losers on dummy's heart ace and king. You would have lost only one club trick. You should have combined your chances. When faced with two finesses for a q~een, one of which must work, cash the ace and king in the suit with the greater number of cards -here, clubs. If the queen drops. you are home. If. though, the queen does not come down, you :ake the fmesse in the other surt here. hP.<trts 34 35 36 37 38 39 42 20 Playing marbles 21 Chic 22 Hourglass filler 23 Gary's st. 24 Laugh-aminute 25 Part of A.D. 28 Trot or gallop 29 Volcano in Sicily 31 Jupiter's wife 32 Makes a choice 33 Narcissus' flaw 37 lncan treasure 40 Survey chart 41 Balked 42 Fiat-topped hill 43 Mushroom 44 Ms. Freeman of films 47 Woe is mel 48 Twig juncture 49 Thirsty 51 Bic filler 52 High note 54 PIN prompter CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Ceoebnty C¢er cryptOgrams are aea:ed from QUOta:JOOS by famous people. pw. end P<esent Each lener "' 1M opher stands for eno11ler Today·s ctue: PequalS J "DY CKLLGM KDYLZGM ' X LZG GDH IYJ'EE ZYO XLGTX LZGMG HY FEYXG ZKNG UX KEYDG."

Martinez agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract with the Phillies on Wednesday. The team put the threetime Cy Young winner on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder strain. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has confidence Martinez will be ready pitch in two to three weeks. Martinez went 5-6 with a 5.61 ERA for the New York Mets last year. He pitched in the World Baseball Classic • before this season. "The last few years have been horrible," Martinez said "I haven't felt the way I wanted to feel: I wasn't the same Pedro you were accustomed to seeing." The eight-time All-Star will need to make at least a few starts in the minors before he's ready to join Philadelphia's depleted rotation. The 37-year-old Martinez was in good spirits, cracking jokes and telling stories before holding up his No. 45 jersey. He topped 91 mph in workouts scouted by the Pbillies and believes his injury problems are in the past. "I was stupid for pitching not in the regular health that you should have been," Martinez said. The defending World Series champion Phillies have been hit by injuries to their starting rotation. Brett Myers bad hip surgery in June. Antonio Bastardo, who replaced Myers, landed In this Aug. 21, 2008 file photo, New York Mets starting pitcher Pedro Martinez (45) delivers a pitch during the second inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves in New York.

AP photo ~~--~--~--~~----~~ on the disabled list after making five ·starts. The NL East leaders already have used nine starters through 86 games. They used only seven starters last season. "Of course there's some risk here.'' Amaro said. "But we'd rather risk it on someone of his caliber and who knews how to win." Martinez is 214-99 with a 2.91 ERA in 17 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Montreal, Boston and the Mets. He· helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 2004. He said be was picky about what team he wanted to pitch for, and spurned other organizations and minor-league contracts to pitch for the Phillies. Martinez hoped the Mets would show interest, but understood why they passed. "I didn't do as well as I wanted to," Martinez said. "I'm pretty sure they know it." Adding Martinez isn't exl?.ected to prevent the Phillies from pursuing AllStar Roy Halladay. The Toronto Blue Jays are actively seeking to deal the former AL Cy Young Award winner, and Philadelphia already has expressed strong interest. "This doesn't preclude us from doing other things with the club," Amaro said. LB Suggs signs deal with Ravens - BALTIMORE (AP) Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs signed a six-year, $63 million contract Wednesday, making him the highestpaid linebacker in NFL history. The contract, which assures him $38 million in guaranteed money, provides a long-term solution to Suggs' unsettled status as the team's franchise player. "I'm looking forward to Showing them that they dido't make a mistake and they got the right. guy," said Suggs, the Ravens' franchise player for the past two seasons. The 6-foot-3, 260pounder had until 4 p.m. Wednesday to work out a deal or face being stuck with the franchise tag for another year. "I am glad it is over. Now we can get back to football," Suggs said. "Getting this done took compromises on both ends. I wanted to stay in purple and black, the Ravens wanted to keep me in purple in black, and they stepped up and showed me that." Had Suggs not signed, he would have played the season for $10.17 million and become a free agent next season. During his six years with the Ravens, Suggs has 53 sacks, forced 19 fumbles and has not missed a game. He led Baltimore with eight sacks last season and added four more in the postseason, including two in the AFC championship game against Pittsburgh after missing an entire week of practice with a shoulder injury. The 26-year-old Suggs was selected by the Ravens out of Arizona State with the 1Oth overall pick in the 2003 draft. Martin has contributed to me trying to impersonate him or what, but the way we race; and our attitude about it are very similar," Gustafson said. If the Chase began this week, Martin would be the top seed because of his four victories. Three fmishes of 40 or worse, however, have him perilously close to missing out on the Chase. Matt Kenseth trails Martin by only one point, and Greg Biffle is 10 points shy of cracking the top 12, setting up seven frantic, crucial races before the Chase field is set. Martin and Gustafson both believe they can qualify for the Chase and win it all! Martin insisted his attitude toward the title hasn't changed. He still feels like he's on the outside of the top 12 and trying to fight his way in, instead of being on the brink of championship contention. Martin can't see the logic in why some drivers would take a winless season in exchange for hoisting the trophy in the finale. Some, like Carl Edwards, believe it's all about etching your name on the list of Cup winners. Martin loves the checkered flags, the parade of well-wishers who msh up to him in Victory Lane, and the morale boost· victories give an organization. "I've had a better career than some guys that have won championships," Martin said. "Would I trade one win for a championship? Not right now. Would I trade these (four) wins to be sitting comfortably in the Chase? Not right now." Gustafson sees a rejuve- nated, dedicated Martin who maintains his strict diet and does all the right things on and off the track. . Well, except for when the Coca-Cola 600 was postponed by rain and Gustafson finally enticed Martin to eat a slice of pizza. "That was probably the worst thing I've even seen him eat," Gustafson said, laughing. "A whole slice. That was him stepping out of the box." The age-old question remains: How much longer does Martin plan to keep driving? Martin tired of answering the retirement questions in his final years at Roush, when the sole focus of "can he win one?" took away from his. performance on the track. Martin said he loves his crew, his car, and his owner so much that he won't worry about his future. Martin is in the first yearof a two-year deal with Bendrick, and will ride all 36 races next season after originally settling on a partial schedule. "I think he can go until he doesn't want to go anymore," Gustafson said. "He's as good as. anybody on the racetrack. As long as he's got that motivation to be at the top level, he can do it." Martin has the motivation to be the best. Whether he states it or no·t, that includes winning the Sprint Cup championship. This might fmally be his year - just as long as he can hang on make the Chase. 1 "Maybe we can do it all yet," Martin said. ~ ~ · from Page Bl one final season with Roush Fenway Racing. Two more seasons on a part-time schedule sapped Martin of some of his enthusiasm for the sport he loves. He has rediscovered it in bundles at Hendrick. Driving the No.5 car for the sport's most powerful team, Martin's four wins in Z009 are as many as he recorded the rest of the decade. Owner Rick Hendrick was spurned in his initial efforts to add Martin to a roster that already included champions Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Martin said no "multiple times" until he was finally persuaded to join NASCAR's most . loaded team. "I was not really, really happy," Martin said. "Not the kind of happy you want to be. I was burned out and I kind of took a little bit of it for granted because I had . done it so long. I didn't realize that there wasn't anything else in the world that I would rather be doing. I took two years to catch my breath and I saw that." Gustafson, finally earning praise for his work at Hendrick, grew up a diehard fan of Martin. He hung pictures of Martin in his room, then admired him from afar when he broke jnto NASCAR. It's Martin's fierc~. determined, noexcuses attitude that Gustafson admired as a kid and awes him even more while working together on a daily basis. ; "~don't know if me growing up and being a big fan Thursday, JUly 16, 2009 www.mydailysentinel.com NFL balances control, communication NEW YORK (AP) - The No Fun League is loosening up. The NFL - the National Football League, that is plans to let fans post comments all over its Web site and to reach deals to make its video more widely available. That a business wants to use multimedia to interact more with its customers is hardly surprising in 2009. But when that business is so image-conscious that it earned the No Fun nickname, relinquishing some highly valued control is a major step. As commissioner Roger Goodell said recently, "~ne of the things that's been a foundation of our success is controlling our content." On a panel discussing ecommerce in late June in Philadelphia, Goodell called that balancing act "a fundamental question we're debating internally." "What worries us is that they take content and sometimes those messages aren't particularly positive," he said. "We worry about that a little bit, the impact on the brand." But, he added, "I'm on the side of saying that that's the way the world is moving." NFL executive Brian Rolapp likes to quote a famous line from the former CEO of Intel:· "A fundamental rule in technology says that whatever can be done will be done." So if fans want to rip the league's officiating, or mock its leadership, they're going to do it somewhere in cyberspace whether or not the NFL sanctions it. Paul Argenti, a corporate communication professor at Dartmouth's busmess school, said there's no downside to the NFL's decision for just that reason. club made a terrible draft pick, we're not going to monitor that," Rolapp said. MLB .com has included message boards for years and added the ability to comment on articles in 2008 and to comment on videos this year. NBA.com has had message boards since before the 200607 season, and fans can comment on columns and blogs by the site's reporters. Rolapp said the NFL is comfortable watching and waiting as other organizations experiment with new technologies and it decides what approach works best for the league. Now the NFL is surpassing other leagues in the number of places fans can comment on its site. He described the NFL's philosophy as this: "We don't have to be first; we have to be right." Rolapp said the league's experience is that negativity is limited and fans generally do a good job policing them- ' selves. • "Philosophically, we kno fans want to do this," he said. "We think it does more good than harm, and we think fans feel as passionately about the teams, brand and sport as we do." Fans can express that passion in many ways - including posting clips from games on YouTube. Different companies have taken varied approaches to their content being put on the site; the NFL wants the clips taken down. Rolapp said the league was seeking the right deals to allow more access to its video. "More consumption and more exposure for the sport are always good," Rolapp said. "But you have to balance that with the economic realities of the business we're in." "Anyone who believes they can control the terms of the debate has lost sight of what has happened the last few years," said Argenti, the coauthor of an upcoming book about using digital media in corporate communications. "Everything has changed. The rules of the game have changed dramatically." Argenti was surprised to hear of the league's plans because many other organizations are wary of allowing such interaction. "To me, I like the NFL even more than I did before," he said of learning about the new features on the Web site - and he believes other fans will feel the same way. The league began allowing fans to comment- but only on articles - on NFL.com early last season. That will expand dramatically this coming season, Rolapp, the league's senior vice president in charge of media strategy, told The Associated Press. Fans will be able to comment on specific games, teams, players. They'll also have the ability to create individual profiles in the NFL's own version of social networking. Automatic filters and staff will monitor the comments to remove offensive languag~ and hate speech. "But if somebody says a .....
