Obama has always understood the power of narrative to convey his message and connect with voters. That's why his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, remains a best seller.

Racism is not something you can invert, but I find fault with the argument beyond the semantics of it.

The Obamas are the first family of color to live in the White House; Sotomayor would he the first womlin of color (and the first Hispanic of either gender) to s'it on the High Court. All three rose from humble beginnings, overcame early obstacles, excelled at top schools, and succeeded in a world dominated by white$. And all three give credit to their mothers. Of course, politics is part of Sotomayor's selection. The president is practically daring Repubhcans to oppose her nomination and pmson their prospects .with the country's fastest-growing voter group. Hispanics made up .9 percent of the electorate last fall, and 67 percent of them backed Obama. But among those under 30 years old, 76 percent voted Democratic. When Sotomayor was confirmed to the federal appeals bench 11 years ago, 29 · Republicans voted against her. Go ahead, Obama is saying, with his best Dirty Barry smirk. Do it again. Make my day.

(Ocalan was later convicted and sentenced to death, but the death sen. tence was commuted to life in prison in 2002 .) Five years ago: In Memonal Day tributes, President George W.

Obama has always understood the power of narrative to convey his message and connect with voters. That's why his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, remains a best seller. As he likes to say, a black man with a funny name had to find wa;ys to tell voters, ''I'm just hke you." He did that through stories about his family: the father who left · him, the grandparents who . raised him and the mother who depended on food stamps while struggling to earn her college degree.

It's too simple to say, as her critics already are, that "wise" always means "liberal."

It's . inescapable label in this political climate. Anything 1s activism when jurists attempt to explain how they adhere to the law. These . attacks are unoriginal and lack substance. To understan_d the basis for the extremists' talking points on Sotomayor's "judicial activism," read the entire statement . she made on a panel at Duke University in 2005.

Racism is not something you can invert, but I find fault with the argument beyond the semantics of it. Donna Sotomayor, like Justice Brazile Samuel Alito during his confirmation hearings, has expressed pride . in her background. Here's what Alito had to say: statement of obvious fact, "When a case· comes not opinion. Sotomayor before me involving, let's isn't predictable enoughto say. someone who is an he an activist.

The Obamas are the first family of color to live in the White House; Sotomayor would he the first womlin of color (and the first Hispanic of either gender) to s'it on the High Court. All three rose from humble beginnings, overcame early obstacles, excelled at top schools, and succeeded in a world dominated by white$. And all three give credit to their mothers. Of course, politics is part of Sotomayor's selection. The president is practically daring Repubhcans to oppose her nomination and pmson their prospects .with the country's fastest-growing voter group. Hispanics made up .9 percent of the electorate last fall, and 67 percent of them backed Obama. But among those under 30 years old, 76 percent voted Democratic. When Sotomayor was confirmed to the federal appeals bench 11 years ago, 29 · Republicans voted against her. Go ahead, Obama is saying, with his best Dirty Barry smirk. Do it again. Make my day.

(AP) - Two convicted murderers pui on corrections-officer uniforms and walked out of an Arkansas prison during a shift change, officials said Saturday as they searched for the men. Jeffrey Grinder, 32, and Calvin Adams, 39, escaped Friday evening from the Cummins Unit prison in GrJdy more than three hours before officials realized they were missing , corrections department spokeswoman Dina Tyler said. ~ Both· men were serving life sentences without the possibility of parole at the prison about 60 miles southeast of Little Rock. The guard uniforms the inmates put on are made in the prison. Video surveillance shows the men put them on in the prison library after the 6 p.m. headcount and walked out of the prison during a sltift change less than 20 minutes )ater, Tyler said. . Prison officials are investigating whether all policies and procedures were followed . "Someone should have laid eyes on them . That's one of the things we're looking at: How exactly did they get out without someone challenging them?" Tyler said. ·Gnnder and Adams drove away in a maroon or burgundy colored, 4-doot sedan that had been left for them . Officials realized the men were missing after coming up short during the 10 p.m. inmate headcount, Tyler said. · Grinder wa~ convicted of capital murder in 2004, and Adams was convicted of capital murder in 1995. Both men. have family in Arkansas and out of state. "We think there's r.robably a pretty good chance that they are not in Arkansas,· she said. Corrections officials are trying to develop leads on where the men are and hoping someone will spot them. Anyone who sees the men should call the Arkansas state police or their local law enforcement, Tyler said. CHESHIRE - Members.

DAYTON (AP) - Ohio lawmakers are pushing a bill that would use federal stimulus money to. create more · patient-centered doctor's offices to reduce costs and Improve treatment. . The bill calls for spending $5.27 million on medical practices in L~cas County and Montgomery County and adjacent counties . Some of the money would help develop what's known as patient-centered· medical homes by medical schools at Wright State University, Ohio University and the . University of Toledo. · · The patient-centered approach frees doctors from trying to see as many patients as possible to maximiie revenue. . Instead , those doctors would be paid a regular fee along with a care management fee based on education they provide about chronic illnesses such as diabetes. : State Rep. Peggy Lehner, a Republican from Kettering in wburban Dayton, and Peter Ujvagi (ooj-VAH'-gee), a Toledo Democrat, are co-sponoring the bill. . ~Weather . : Sunday••.Mostly sunny.

Kentucky countersued Thursday, even while it waged a counteroffensive on another front, rebuffing critics who suggested they hadn •t performed due diligence in hil:ing Calipari. . . ln a statement, Kentucky said it knew all along that Memphis might face violations because Calipari was "forthcoming" during the interview process about "issues under in vest.igation" at his .old school. Hard to say whether that bit of diligence made Calipari's hiring more cynical than it originally seemed. Either way, it helped explain why Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart made a point of boasting at .the time about how his own "compliance folks talked with the NCAA and checked records and facts" relating to Cali pari, and how .people at twice the highest levels· of that organization "ass.ured us how much they enjoyed working with John in that process." No doubt. Calipari can be charming when he wants, as evidenced by his bank account and the steady stream of talented recruits who flow to wherev- · er he sets up shop. On short notice, he's already assembled in Lexington what some scouts consider the best freshman class in the past decade, including John Wall, the consensus No. 1 prep point guard in the · nation. Wall admitted $Uilt Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of breaking and entering, and entered a: program for first offenders that could eventually clear his record; The charge came about after police in Wall's hometown of Raleigh, N:C., found him walking out of a vacant house, apparently little more than being in the wrong place at _the wrong time. And as Calipari can attest, it can happen to anyone. Marshall hires firm in Cl 6unbap tltime£C -:6tntfnel ·- AD search ..

Kentucky countersued Thursday, even while it waged a counteroffensive on another front, rebuffing critics who suggested they hadn •t performed due diligence in hil:ing Calipari. . . ln a statement, Kentucky said it knew all along that Memphis might face violations because Calipari was "forthcoming" during the interview process about "issues under in vest.igation" at his .old school. Hard to say whether that bit of diligence made Calipari's hiring more cynical than it originally seemed. Either way, it helped explain why Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart made a point of boasting at .the time about how his own "compliance folks talked with the NCAA and checked records and facts" relating to Cali pari, and how .people at twice the highest levels· of that organization "ass.ured us how much they enjoyed working with John in that process." No doubt. Calipari can be charming when he wants, as evidenced by his bank account and the steady stream of talented recruits who flow to wherev- · er he sets up shop. On short notice, he's already assembled in Lexington what some scouts consider the best freshman class in the past decade, including John Wall, the consensus No. 1 prep point guard in the · nation. Wall admitted $Uilt Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of breaking and entering, and entered a: program for first offenders that could eventually clear his record; The charge came about after police in Wall's hometown of Raleigh, N:C., found him walking out of a vacant house, apparently little more than being in the wrong place at _the wrong time. And as Calipari can attest, it can happen to anyone. Marshall hires firm in Cl 6unbap tltime£C -:6tntfnel ·- AD search ..

It was the discovery of gold near what came to be called Deadwood that brought on this latest confrontation. Among the 210 men who died with Custer on June 25, I876, was Niles Holc()mb, who had grown up in Vinton. He was the son of Dr. Ira Holtomb, longtime Vinton doctor. When Dr. Holcomb died, Niles moved with his mother out west, where he joined the 7th U.S. Cavalry. While jqst a lad, he and Chauncey Holcomb· had taken up positions itt the 'woods north of Vinton on July I 7, I 863, in preparaiion to defend Vinton from · the Confederate forces of Gen. John Hunt Morgan. A small scouting party sent out by Morgan came riding by the two Holcomb boys concealed in the brush. Niles fired and his bullet just grazed the head of one of Morgan's men. Niles ~nd Chauncey then took off m a run. Some claimed that because of that shot, the Confederates had vowed to · bum down the village of Vinton and to execute the one who had shot at them. The boys escaped over a hill to the Gay farm and were never discovered. Fortunately, Morgan's men were in a hurry and they were interested mostly m horses and food. They did bum down the bndge over the Raccoon Creek · at Vinton, but the town and the Holcomb boys were spared on that occasion.. . .

It was the discovery of gold near what came to be called Deadwood that brought on this latest confrontation. Among the 210 men who died with Custer on June 25, I876, was Niles Holc()mb, who had grown up in Vinton. He was the son of Dr. Ira Holtomb, longtime Vinton doctor. When Dr. Holcomb died, Niles moved with his mother out west, where he joined the 7th U.S. Cavalry. While jqst a lad, he and Chauncey Holcomb· had taken up positions itt the 'woods north of Vinton on July I 7, I 863, in preparaiion to defend Vinton from · the Confederate forces of Gen. John Hunt Morgan. A small scouting party sent out by Morgan came riding by the two Holcomb boys concealed in the brush. Niles fired and his bullet just grazed the head of one of Morgan's men. Niles ~nd Chauncey then took off m a run. Some claimed that because of that shot, the Confederates had vowed to · bum down the village of Vinton and to execute the one who had shot at them. The boys escaped over a hill to the Gay farm and were never discovered. Fortunately, Morgan's men were in a hurry and they were interested mostly m horses and food. They did bum down the bndge over the Raccoon Creek · at Vinton, but the town and the Holcomb boys were spared on that occasion.. . .

(AP) - North Dakota ranchers are trying to rebound from a string of disasters: Drought last year shriveled their pastures and hayland foUowed by heavy wm!er . snow, then spring flooding that turned roads and fields to mud. Hay supplies already low from Iast year's dry weather were depleted by cows that needed more energy than usual to survive one of the roughes~ winters in memory. The Agriculture Department estimates hay. stocks on North Dakota ranches this month total only about 700,000 tons - down 44 percent from last year. Jack Reich, who ranches in the Zap area of western North Dakota, said the hay was gone even before record tlOO(!ing hit this spring. "There might be a little bit of hay that got flooded out. but I would say most places, there!robably wasn't any hay left when the· flOO(!ing came," sai Reich. president of the North Dakota Stockmen's Association. "Likemrself- I'm down to like two bales," he said. Reich satd it is not a crisis situation because many ranchers are starting to tum their cattle out to pasture. But Julie · Schaf( Ellingson, executive vice president of the cattle group, said pastures in some parts of the state are getting a slow start because of the cool spring. · . . "Lots of guys are supplementing (with feed), still," she ·said. The Agriculture Department at midmonth rated hay and forage supplies in North Dakota at 64 percent short, com. pared with only 29 percent at the same time last year. . Reich said some ranchers ran out of hay over the long winter. · "I haven't heard of any cows starving to death or anything like that, but people had to go to different types of feed; like myself, I fed a lot of corn," he said. . · Some ranchers had to go to South Dakota to find enough hay. "It's sure been a sti:uggle," Reich said. South Dakota ranchers fared better over the winter.

The outline came together Thursday after a bloc ofGM's biggest bondholders agreed to a sweetened deal proposed by . the Treasury Department to wipe out . the automaker's unsecured debt in exchange for company stock. . But GM still must settle on a buyer for its European Opel unit and decide the fate of its Hummer and . Saturn brands, while. workers across the country await news expected Monday on which 14 plimts the company will close, shedding . 2 I .000 more jobs. ' · Efforts to sever its relationship with 2,600 dealers will probably be tied up in the bankruptcy proceedings. A person familiar with GM's plans said it was "probable" that the company would file for.bankrup~y protection Monday - the government's deadline for GM to restructure. The person did notwant to be identified because the plans -were still under discussion with the U.S. and Canadian governments: Under the proposal, outlined in a regulatory filing, GM 's good and bad assets would be . separated under what the Obamaadministration hopes will be a speedy Chapter II reorganization that will let GM thrive when people are ready to buy cars agam. · The. U.S; Treasury, which . already has loaned · GM $19.4 billion, would get 72.5 percent of the new · company's stock and provide $30 billion in additionc al financing to keep the new GM operating under ba·nkniptcy protection. . · Canada's government is expected to provide an additional $9 billion , a senior Obama administration offi<.iial said ~ The official,spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. · · .. A United Auto Workers · trust that will · take ov~r retiree health care expenses will get 17.5 percent, afid the old GM, effectively owned by the bondholders, would get a I 0 percent stake. ·: GM's existing shareholders will probably lose everything. "It's fair to .say that ·there would be little to · no recovery,'' the administration official said. ' : The proposal is siniilar to what has happened to Chrysler, already in Chapter 11 protection. A bankruptcy judge is weighing whether to approve the sale of most of its l!ssets to Italian cannaker Fiat. : The administration offii:ial estimated that GM would be under bankruptey protection for 60 to 90 days .. longer than Chrysler's reorg·anization expected · b,ecause GM is bigger and more complex. · : The official said that although . the government &opes to get back as much l)f the money loaned to GM and Chrysler as possible, it never envisioned recovering inuch Of the initial $13.4 billion in aid, · • Eventually, the governinent hopes , GM can return ~o profitability. which would llllow the government to sell its GM stock. But the risks for taXpayers are daunting, with U.S. auto sales near their lowest level in 27 years. ' "We will come out of this rid of some of the historic . legacy costs that have been l:lragging us down for the last 20. years or so,'' OM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz sa1d Thursday at an Automotive Press Association luncheon in Detroi!. "We will come out . of it with an all new focu s on product development." · · GM plans to cut the nameplates it sells in North America by one-fourth and keep only four brands Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and 8uick ·- after jettisoning Bummer, · Saturn . Pontiac and Saab. Under the government's offer, bondholders would get I0 percent of the stock in a newly formed GM, the same as a proposal that they shunned earlier this week. But the new offer also gives them warrants to buy an additional 15 percent stake. possibly at a discount. That would come only if they agree to support selling GM 's assets to a new company under bankruptcy court protection. The revised offer amounted. to an ultimatum: Go along with the ·govemmenr auto task force's proposal or face substantial reduction in the amount of stock and warrants they wiil get. · . "Tiley have sweetened the deal by adding the warrants to the equation ," said ·Pete Hastings, senior· analyst with Morgan Keegan & Co. "It's enough for me to have moved from rejecting the deal and trying our luck .in bankruptcy court to the side of recommending the deal." A bloc cf bondholders who represent about 20 percent ofGM's $27 billion in 'unsecured debt called the deal unfair but said they'll take it rather than roll the dice in bankruptcy court and risk getting even less. A coalition of smaller bondholders, meanwhile, opposed the offer, saying it remained unfair to retirees who depend on GM bonds for ·income and was overly favorable to the OAW. Union President · Ron Gettel finger said in a· telephone interview he did not want to get into a debate . with bondholders while the union ;.,as pushing for rati~ fication of concessions to GM . Union members were . to wrap up voting Friday. "An objective person tliat stood back and looked at all the sacrifices that have been · made by active workers and retirees would see that we have made tremendous sacrifice," he said. The union's role, he said, was to get the best deal it could for active members and retirees. The filing dido 't specify how many bondholders would he needed to make the deal work. The government had demanded that 90 percent agree to the previous offer, and 'it fell far short. The Obama administration official said the govemmeill would not require a specific percentage of bondholders to approve the new proposal but. would make a judgment call· based on the level of support. . . Representatives of the committee of larger bondholders were trying to con- · tact the thousands of GM bondholders before a deadline of 5 p.m. Saturday. . .
