And we will do it this vcar." Obama said in excerpts of an opening statement that the White Hou e distributed in advance. Since returning from an over~eas trip more than a week ago, Obama has spoken in public on a near daily basis about his desire for legislation to expand health coverage while reducing the skyrocketing growth in costs. In recent days, though, public opinion polls have shown a leveling off in support for his proposals, and emboldened Republicans have stepped up their criticism. One, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. has predicted that health care could turn into Obama's "Waterloo" if the legislation is blocked. The president referred to the political struggle, as well. "This 1~n 't about me,'' he said in the excerpts. ''I have great health insurance and so does every member of Congress." · In an interview with The Washington Post. Obama expressed confidence that both the House and Senate versions of health care legislation would include some provision along the lines he proposed to curtail the growth of Medicare far into the future. He also spoke favqrably of a tax on health care benefits if their cost goes up too fa~t each year. He said the Senate Finance Committee was discussing a variation that "goes after the insurance company. as opposed to directly taxing the benefits." Pelosi's remark~> \\Cre uttered at a new~ conference designed to showcase the difficultie~ that can re~ult from a lack of insurance or insufficient' covera~e. and apreared aimed in part at recovering some of the polittca momentum.

On friday, Obama called for lawmakers to include a provision to change that. specifically requesting creation of an independent board that would have the power to set payment mtes for doctors. hospitals and other providers under Medicare.

There is always some crisis or something someone did to hurt her."'and it's never her fault. She i~ better on medication. but still not completely nonnal. She has had legal problems and there is a warrant out for her arrest in Florida because of unpaid traffic tickets and court costs. We have helped bail her out of jail a couple of times. When Nola visits. even when she is on medication. my husband and I b,arely make it through the ek before we are ready • her to go. Nola now finds herself homeless in Alabama. Her most recent boyfriend left her suddenly. and she doesn't want to move in with her father because there are already a lot of people living there and she claims they are all rude to her. Her dad is willing to have her, but acknowledges that she causes a lot of conflict. My husband absolutely doesn't want her to live with us, not to mention that outstanding warrant.

Meanwhile, if you can afford it, send 1\\0ney (or gift cards) for groceries, rent and medication. And consider buying her a cell phone with some minutes on it so you can stay in touch. Dear Annie: I am a 39year-old single woman. I've worked hard in my career and always thought I would have time to start a family later, but time has slipped by. I joined an online dating site and met "Aaron." His profile said he was going through a legal separation and has a 4-year-old child. I would never have considered him in the past, but figured I needed to be more flexible. Annie, with our first kiss, my knees buckled. I'd never felt that kind of chemistry with anyone. Aaron is so special. Sometimes, however, he seems withdrawn and our conversations are shorter than usual. I ask if he is OK, but he doesn't open up much. I've never dated a man who had unresolved issues. He says he is over his wife and ready to move on with me, but is that realistically possible? I'm trying to be patient, but how do I handle the emotional ups and downs? Could we have a future together, or am I wasting my time? - On a Roller Coaster Dear Roller Coaster: Life doesn't come with guarantees. Yes, Aaron can get over his ex and move on with you, but if your instincts tell you he is not being entirely honest, it's a legitimate reason for concern. We'd wait until the divorce is final before expecting any commitment, and in the meantime, tell Aaron your future together rests on open communication and he needs to stop shutting you out. Public meetings Dear Annie: I want to thank "Help Needed in Florida," whose three grown children don't want to hear anything but happy things from her. She made me realize I am not alone. All day yesterday I felt sad thinking of the dinner the day before, where my grown children ignored me yet again. I receive little to no response. even when I am asking a question. Her letter fit me word for word. She helped me realize it's not me, it's the situation. I am a flight attendant and relate well to countless people. both briefly and in depth. My schedule is tight, but I will now make a concerted effort to reach out and develop new relationships with others.

Stephen Brooks. associate director of the Bliss ' Institute at the University of Akron. said DcWine is known, trusted and liked by certain Republicans and some moderate Democrats and independents. "Mike DeWine still is a strong draw among Republicans and will be very useful in bringing Republicans back to an interest in voting and kind of an excitement in the campaign.'' Brooks said. DeWine, more than two years after losing his bid for a third U.S. Senate term. chose the courtroom where he was sworn in as county prosecutor m 1976 to announce he was running for attorney general. " I looked ~t the job of torney general and felt is a place where I can • lly. really make a difference," he said. Paul Leonard, former lieutenant governor under Democratic Gov.

"And he's young enough that the attorney general's job can be a stepping stone for governor if he has it in the back of his mind someday.'' Delaware County prosecutor Dave Yost already has announced plans to seek the GOP's nomination for attorney general. Incumbent Richard Cordray, a Democrat, has said he plans to seek re-election. Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said DeWine was soundly defeated by Sherrod Brown in the Senate race, while Cordray is the top Democratic vote-getter in the history of Ohio elections. "Attorney General Cordray has a solid record of working to protect consumers, level the playing field against Wall Street and serve as a fiscal watchdog for taxpayers," Redfern said. "We are confident that, come November 2010, voters will send Rich Cordray back to the attorney general's office to continue the hard work he is doing." Besides U.S. senator and Gr~ene County prosecutor, DeWine has served in the state Senate, in the U.S. House and as state lieutenant governor. Brooks said DeWine's campaign organization, which may scare away any additional candidates, can be quickly resurrected. ''I'm sure when he retired. he did not throw away his list of fundraisers," Brooks said. Nancy Martorano Miller, associate professor of political science at the University of Dayton, said DeWine's name recognition may make the attorney general's race DeWine's to lose. And she said he may also benefit at the ballot box if the economy continues to struggle. De Wine said his decision to run is about more than politics. 'Tm running for attorney general because Ohio is in crisis," he said. "There are streets in major cities where you are simply afraid to walk. To date, we're seeing gang problems throughout the state of Ohio." He said an attorney general must "take the lead in fighting back." "I will lead," he said, "and I will fight back." Regulators aplenty at Ohio tracks getting slots COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio racetracks are subject to oversight by a bevy of state agencies. but whether any one of them would have much enforcement power over new slot machines is still unclear. Tracks host horse races, collect bets, pay taxes, serve liquor, sell soda, house lottery machines. ·se revenue. and pay ployees - all activities . .t come with some form of state scrutiny. But the rules have not yet been written laying out how Gov. Ted Strickland's plan to authorize 2,500 video lottery terminals at each of seven horse tracks around the state would be overseen. That role will be played by the Ohio Lottery. Strickland formed a task force last week of four former state lottery directors to 2009 advise the administration how best to implement the slots plan. They include Tom Chema and Ronald Nabakowski. both lottery directors under former Gov. Dick Celeste. a Democrat; Tom Hayes, lottery director to former Gov. Bob Taft, a Republican; and Mitchell Brown, lottery director under fonner Gov. George Voinovich, also a Republican. State Inspector General Tom Charles said he was already concerned that slots oversight will be limited. Charles pushed for $500,000 in the recently signed state budget to allow him to beef up his office's investigative capacity over slots operations. He got $50,000. His office investigates state boards and commissions, including both the state Racing Commission and the state Lottery Commission. But he said slots operations that the state hopes will generate $933 million in revenue will be a whole new realm for Ohio. "When you add $900 million to the mix, there's enough people out there trying to get their fingers into that money so that, I think, there's a need to do some additional things - a need to look at the contracts, a need to look whether Lottery's doing their due diligence, whether Racing's doing theirs," he said. Other state entities oversee aspects of track operations already, and will continue to do so. The Racing Commission monitors live racing, sending inspectors to ensure participants are licensed, contraband is kept out of the parks, and other regulations i.l are followed. said Deputy Director John Izzo. The state Tax Department oversees the wagering because betting proceeds are subject to the state horse racing tax. The department has the ability to audit the parks or send in inspectors. said spokesman John Kohlstrand . Lottery will hold the biggest hammer over slots operations, though. Spokeswoman Marie Kilbane Seekers said it has a variety of enforcement mechanisms already in place, including vendor contract managers, spot inspections of retailers, background checks, and monitoring of payout patterns for irregularities. She expects the division will add security staff if and when slots survive challenges that have begun in the courts. Thursday ... Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers in the morning ...

Aug. I. at 2 p.m. at the Stf}tehouse in Columbus. The Ohio Tea Party will focus on principles instead politics. You will hear how local action. constitutional principles. and state sovereignty offer real solutions and what we can <nil do to get involved. Judge Andrew Napolitano. a nationally known legal analvst. author and Fox News contributor. will deliver the keynote address. Currently. there is a joint resolution in the Ohio Congress designed to remind those in Washington that the federal government is an agent of the states for certain purposes only and that it doe.s not have jurisdiction over everything. This resolution is nearly identical to the one signed by Gov. Sarah Palin in Alaska on July 20. I hope those who want to learn about the principles of good government won't miss out on this opportunity. Please join me in Columbus on Saturday. Aug. 1. Obama's war for socialism At some point of embittering clarity. Americans will open their eyes to the glaring significance of the Obama era and see the Power Grab Years for what they are. Whether 'this realization comes in time to stave off the eradication of the United States as we thought we knew it. or whether it comes too late. I predict it will surely come. If it comes in time. the realization that the nation dodged history's bullet will produce massive waves of relief. If it comes too late. the understanding of our fallen state will live on as the lost lore. not of a subject people exactly. but of a selfsubjected people. That's because in this strange historical instance. the American people. begin· ning with but not limited to those of us who voted Barack Obama • into the White House. seem to have agreed to shoulder the heavy. costly yoke of exponentially increasing government control of our lives. Make that exponentially increasing executive branch control of our lives - even more alarming given the cult of President Obama 's personality already evident.

We already tried The Daily Sentinel . T#lcome to Idiot America Gene Lyons that. It brought us George W. Bush, a synthetic cowboy who dropped tlie "rancher" pose the minute he left the White House. Back in 200 I. metropolitan pundits - seemingly unfamiliar with the oeuvre of Hank Wi II iams and Garth Brooks kept telling us about the superior moral instincts of us "red state" voters. Brzezinski's the daughter of former Carter administration national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. and attended several fancy private school.s. So I'm guessing she doesn't know a lot of drinkin · and cheat in' songs either. The occasion of the MSNBC pundit's comments was Palin's poor-pitiful-me resignation speech. the one that sounded like an audi~ion for the Lucille Ball pat1 111 an "1 Love Lucy" revival . "Life is too short to comprombe time and resoun.:c:-.," Palin said. ''It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down. plod along and appease those who demand: 'Sit clown and shut up,' but that's the worthless, easy path: that's a yuitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and ·go with the flow.' Nah. only dead fish ·go with the tlow."' No dead-fish quitter she. Palin quit. Having spent much of her tenure as Alaska's governor scheming to fire her exbrother-in-law from the state police and having her press secretary issue statements contradicting her daughter's J8-year-old former boyfriend, Palin evidently mistook national politics for one long Miss Congeniality contest. That is, until she started picking fights with TV comics and whining that nobody before her had been so victimit.ed by ''the politics of personal destmction·· - a phrase Bill Clinton coined after Republican operatives accused him and his wife of murder. Chances are Palin doesn't know that. as she appears to know precious little else. Even many conservatives who supported Bush almost to the end fear that the Republicans ha,·e finally touched bottom "In television interviews," Peggy Noonan wrote in The Wall Street Journal. "she was out of her depth in a shallow pool She wa~ limited in her abilit} to explain and defend her positions. and !'>Omctimes in knowmg them.

U.S. troops in Helmand say companies that recruit and hire military translators are sending linguists to southern Afghanistan who are too old to serve in a theater of combat or who do not have the right language skills, which puts them and the U.S. forces they work for at risk. as part of President Barack Obama's increased focus on Afghanistan. Only 7.700 Pa~hto speakers live in the U.S .. according to the :woo censt.s.

"It's been a shock to some of them. You can't really acclimate them. We don't have centers to run scenarios out in the heat. It is a surprise to many of them and it's very. very hard work. especially with a lot of the new Marines that are going into Helmand province:' he said. How translators come to believe they won't face danger could originate with recruiters. "They're going to tell you whatever it is to get you hired," Spangler said. Khalid Nazary. an AfghanAmerican citizen living in Kabul, called Mission Essential abou~ a job and let an AP reporter listen. He asked if he would go to "dangerous places." "Oh, no, no, no. You're not a soldier. You're not a soldier. Not at all," the recruiter. Tekelia Barnett, said. "You're not on the battlefield." The Afghan-American asked repeatedly if he would be sent on battlefield missions. Barnett said he would translate for soldiers at schools. mosques or hospitals. After being pressed on the point. Barnett said the linguist would be subject to.... "any" assignment, and if he didn't want the task be could quit. Peltier later toid AP it was indeed' possible that transla- tors would be on the battlefield. He said he would talk to Barnett to make sure she made that more clear.

Habib. the translator who spoke to the AP while carrying a heavy pack in the stif1ing heat. said a Mission Essential recruiter originally told him that if he passed his language test, he would work out of the main U.S. base at Bagram about 30 miles north of the Afghan capital, Kabul. "That's what she promised me over the phone. That was attractive to me. and it was safe,'' Habib said. Once in Afghanistan. he says he was told he would lose his job if he didn't go with the Marines to Helmand. "It's been very hard. very hard, physically," said Habib, a Pashto-speaking U.S. citizen born in Pakistan who says he signed up because he wanted to serve his country.

The drama set in during the super-steep Colombiere pass. When the 2007 Tour champion. teammate Andreas Kloeden and the Schlecks were alone in front on the Colombiere. the Spaniard surprisingly mounted his own attack on the two brothers. who had tried all day to shake the Spaniard. Contador, too. couldn't get rid of the Schlccks and instead dropped his teammate Kloeden. who lost significant time to the brothers and dropped to fifth overall. Klocden started the day in fourth. trailing Contador by 2: 17. At day\ end. ht.: \'v'as 4:44 back from the leader and I: 19 behind third-place Frank Schleck.

"Somebody said to me, 'Well. how do you know they're going to reall: do it?' Well, you can only go on th' last rime we spoke with them." the USA Bask.etball chairman ~)!~~ ;t·iw t~<?/. the kind of guy who calls every w~ek to say, "At the appropriate time. we'll know. When we get ready for camp next year. we're going to know who 1 s~in and who's out. But I just feel based on everything that I know that our core players are all coming back, because they've indicated they \\ill." Colangelo quickly committed to stayino on and coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday he would. Some players discussed coming back even before the Americans won 4old in Beijing. an idea that seems more probable with k.rz)Ze\\ski's return. ·"We had great chemistry as a unit and worked well with the entire coaching staff." point guard Chris Paul said in a statement. "lam look.ing forward to having another great experience with everyone.'' USA Basketball collected reaction about Krzyzewski's return from seYen players. Paul was the onl) one to mention anything about coming back. but they all praised the ~oach.and his staff and said how much they enJoyed playfor him. 1112 Bryant. in a press conference in Singapore, said Krzyzewsk.i's return ''definitely influences me.' ·Tm very excited to see that he signed on." Bryant said. "It influen~es all the guys j~st because v.:e 've been through that expenence before and It becomes hke a family.'' Colangelo met with Bryant, James. Wade, Paul, Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard during the NBA All-Star weektnd in Phoenix. then spoke with Carmela Anthony and Deroo Williams shOJtly after. Colangelo understands that players can commit to something and later decide differently. He formed the national team program in 2005 in part so the Americans were better prepared to deal with the player withdrawals that plagued them earlier this decade and hastened their tumble from the top. Krzyzewski said one consideration could be the age of the bench. Michael Redd, Tayshaun Prince and Carlos Boozer were three of the oldest players on the team, and the Americans could look to get younger by adding players from the minicamp they're holding this week. Kevin Durant will be a candidate for a spot even if all 12 players wanted to return. NASCAR from PageBl NASCAR picked Charlotte as the site over Atlanta, · Richmond. Va.. Daytona Beach, Fla., and Kansas City, Kan. • Groundbreaking on the 'S 154.5 million project was 111 January 2007. Paid for most!) by a 2 percent increase iu the hotel and motel tax. the facility will be owned by the city, with NASCAR getting royalties and some revenues. The project is on schedule and on budget. with the scheduled opening May 11. Yet with NASCAR strug,!!ling with smaller crowds and sponsorship pullouts, the timing isn't great. The local effect of the economic downturn is visible just outside the main entrance, where a stalled condominium tower a block away provides an eyesore. "We still are hopeful that we'll have 800,000 people come through the first year." Newman said. "Based on what other halls have experienced, some of which have opened in very difficult, trying times. the product itself. priced tight with the right experience. is · · going to be successful." Kelley spent much of 2007 visiting different halls of fame to get ideas. NASCAR 's shrine will have an introductory video like baseball'~ Hall of Fame. There will be a stock car racing timeline that will also include maJOr events in history to provide context. as organizers did for a similar exhibit at the Country ~usic Hall of Fame. But NASCAR also wants to take advantage of technological advances. Instead of the busts or plaques for the inductees. there will be an interactive display that includes not only a picture and statistics, but a video s-creen and audio. The bOl- tom of the 7-foot monument will include an area where children can make a souvenir tUQbing. The' hall has secured additional funding for more interactive exhibits. items Kelley said are essential. With Charlotte hosting three ~AS CAR races a year, Kelley is charged with keeping the Hall of Fame fresh to bring repeat visitors. He plans to routinely trade out exhibits and update displays. "No matter how big the facility is. you're not going to be able to put everything in there and tell C\'ery story at once," Kelley said. "The blessing is. there is so much mater-ial that you can bring in and change. r don't think we're going to run out of stories." The Hall of Fame will rely on donated and borrowed items and will not pay for cars or other artifacts. Petty began the process when he agreed to lend the car in which he won 36 races in 1966-67, including a record I0 straight on the way to his 1967 championship. Jt will be one of 18 cars on "Glory Road,'' where fans will walk up a simulated track with different banking to mimic tracks on the NASCAR circuit. The May opening will coincide with the first Ha11 of Fame class, likely to include Petty, Dale Earnhardt and NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. The induction ceremony will be either the weekend of NASCAR's All-Star race at nearby Lowe's Motor Speedway on May 22-23 or the Coca-Cola 600 a week later at the same track. ·'When I think about what's in here.

Timberwolves president David Kahn was in Spain this week to try and help the fifth overall pick negotiate a buyout of his contract with Joventut. Rubio 1s at odds with his boyhood club over a buyout clause that co~ld cost the 18-year-old pomt guard as much as $6.6 million. The NBA's collective bargaining rules limit the Timberwolves' contribution to $500,000. Regardless of whether Rubio makes the trip across the Atlantic next season. he won't be playing at Joventut.

MIAMI (AP) - First came Csonka and Kiick, followed by Clayton and Duper. Now the Miami Dolphins· lineup features Gloria and J.Lo. It has been nine years since the Dolphins won a playoff game, 25 years since they reached the Super Bowl and 36 years sipce their most recent NFL title. Those streaks probably won't end in 2009. but the tailgate parties and halftime shows should be fun. Since completing his purchase of the Dolphins in January, Stephen Ross has brought on board Jimmy Buffett. Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Marc Anthony, husband of Jennifer Lopez. The Margaritaville-Miami Sound Machine-Mr. J .Lo combination might be the best power trio since ZZ Top. but none of these celebrity mustctans can block, tackle or run the Wildcat. So what's going on? Was Joey Porter consulted about these decisions? When's Ross going to sign a rapper? And what other questions can we make up? Here are some that celebrity football fans might be pondering: Q: With these offseason moves, how do the Dolphins stack up against their archrivals in New York? The Jets' most famous fans are Kevin James and Adam Sandler. Rex in Florham Park, N.J. A: The Dolphins have bet ter celebrity depth, which makes them 3-point favorites. But J .Lo against Patriots' fan and uber-model Gisele Bundchen is a tossup. Q: As part of Ross' deal with Buffett, the name of Dolphin Stadium has been changed for this season to Land Shark Stadium. What the heck is a land shark? That strikes me as a contradiction in terms, like ''Dolphins receivers." :rony in Davie. Fla. A: Land Shark is a beverage that makes the fight song Buffett wrote for the Dolphins sound better. Q: Why did Ross sign up these so-called "celebrities"? None of them has ever even been on "Dancing With the Stars." Jason in Davie. Fla. A: Ross says the deals are motivated by his desire to improve the fan experience and include minority owners who reflect the diversity of South Florida. He approached Buffett, a longtime friend, and the Estefans ahout roles with the team. After Ross put out the word he was in the market for minority owners, Anthony approached him. The Estefans and Anthony bought small stakes in the franchise. Q: Among the minority owners. who's the worst singer? Simon in Hollywood, Calif. A: Former sole owner Wayne Huizenga. He retains a 5 percent share. Q: When asked about plans for Anthony to perform at games, did Ross respond with a musical pun? Bill in Foxborough, Mass. A: Yes. He said. "Stay tuned.'' Q: Training camp opens Aug. 2. When can we statt talking football? - Bill in Davie, Fla. A: Soon, although there may be more celebrity news. In the next month or so. Ross is expected to bring aboard one or two more minority owners, possibly including a celebrity former athlete. Q: Some of Buffett's music is older than the Dolphins· most recent Super Bowl trophy. Does his involvement lock up the over-60 demographic? Don in Indian Creek. Fla. A: Yes. which in South Florida means almost everyone. Q: The Dolphin'> haven't been a title threat in a time. Will any of celebrities ever get a to celebrate a Super Bo championship'~ Dave in Pittsburgh. A: Perhaps. Ross said Buffett is going to be associated with the team "forever.'' Q: The Estefans are the first Cuban Americans to hold an ownership stake in an NFL team. Anthony and J .Lo are New York natives of Puerto Rican descent. And there's Buffett for Parrotheads. What demographic groups in South Florida does that leave'! Roger in Nev. York City. A: Pythons. hurricanes and bad drivers. Q: Does Bill Parcells prefer Anthony's salsa or the Estefans' pan-Latin American fusion? - Jimmy in Islamorada. Fla. A: No. Q: Buffett has been mentioned as a tailgate performer. and Anthony •. going to sing the nation anthem at a Monday night game. What other South Florida musicians might Ross recruit to fill out the rest of the schedule? Randy in Coral Gables, Fla. A: Michael TilsonThomas isn't much of the football fan, but his New World Symphony on South Beach could do a classy rendition of Buffett's fight song. Q: Dan Marino was a big fan of Hootie and the Blowfish. Any chance Ross can lure Dan out of retirement by making Hootie a part owner and renaming the Dolphins' home Blowfish Stadium? Darius in Nashville. Tenn. A: Stay tuned. ~ Attention Bu.siness Owners Free on-line business Listings on www.mydailysentinel.com Easy to setup, upgrades available!
