BEWITCHING: Well drillers offer water witching services before digging wells. | 3B

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Don’t expect President Barack Obama to try to reinvent himself next week at the Democratic Party’s national convention. Instead, he and a slew of his defenders will seek to convince voters to stick with the president they know rather than gamble on someone new, a challenging task given that most Americans say the country is heading in the wrong direction.

“This Thursday, I will offer you what I believe is a better path forward, a path that grows this economy, creates more jobs and strengthens the middle class,” Obama said Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, previewing his pitch. “And the good news is, you get to choose which path we

take.”While Democratic loyalists will fi ll the stadium where Obama accepts the nomination Thurs-day night, the president’s target audience is the small sliver of undecided voters in battleground states who will be critical to the outcome of what polls show is a tight race with two months to go. His campaign also will try to revive some of its insurgent, grassroots appeal from 2008 by using technology to let people participate in the convention. That effort also will help Obama’s team collect more data on voters.

Starting Tuesday, a parade of high-profi le speakers will stand on a blue-carpeted stage in Char-lotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena to vouch for Obama’s economic agenda, which his team says is fo-

cused on the middle class: ending tax cuts for the rich and reducing the debt, while spending more on education, energy and infra-structure. Several voters — called “American Heroes” by Obama’s team — also will speak at and ap-pear in videos at the convention, putting a human face on Obama’s program.

The Democratic convention starts less than a week after Republicans gathered in Tampa, Fla., to nominate Mitt Romney as the party’s presidential candi-date. Democrats hope that by holding their convention second, Obama can emerge with momen-tum on his side as the race for the White House bounds into its fi nal stretch.

People sit on the campus of Harvard Uni-versity Thursday in Cambridge, Mass. The University may consider an honor code af-ter 125 students were accused of cheat-ing.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard Univer-sity, whose motto “Veritas” means “truth,” has never had a student honor code in its nearly 400-year history — as far as it knows. But allegations against 125 students for im-properly collaborating on a take-home fi nal in the spring are leading to renewed consid-

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Nina Mussel-man had no trouble fi nding a family doc-tor when she retired to rural Oregon nine years ago to be closer to her children. But then that doctor moved away, leaving her to search for another who would take Medicare.

After a year of going from doctor to doc-tor, she fi nally found one who stuck.

As record numbers of baby boomers go into retirement, many are thinking about moving from the places they needed to live to make a living, and going someplace warmer, quieter or prettier.

If they choose small towns like Grants Pass, 250 miles south of Portland, they

could well have a hard time fi nding a fam-ily doctor willing to take Medicare, even supplemental plans, rather than private insurance.

“It’s a sad situation for seniors,” she said.

BriefsUniversity newspaper gets funding restored

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The University of Memphis is re-storing full funding to its student newspaper after an in-ternal review found the newspaper’s content may have been a factor in its funding being cut.

The Commercial Appeal reported that university Presi-dent Shirley Raines ordered the review after staff mem-bers at the Daily Helmsman criticized the budget commit-tee’s recommendation to cut funding as a violation of the First Amendment. Raines said in a statement that inter-views with members of the Student Fee Allocation Fund Committee found that newspaper content was discussed, which led to the appearance that it may have been a fac-tor in the recommendation.

The committee had advised that funding be cut from $75,000 to $50,000.

Nashville’s public housing goes smoke free

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville’s Metropolitan Hous-ing and Development Agency says a new policy to ban smoking inside their high rise residence buildings will go into effect this weekend.

The agency said in a news release it has been educat-ing the tenants about the anti-smoking policy for more than 18 months and starting on Saturday, smoking will only be allowed in designated areas outside the build-ings.

The policy affects seven high rise apartment buildings in Nashville. Phil Ryan, executive director of the MDHA, said in a statement their elderly and disabled residents are vulnerable to the effects of second-hand smoke and they want to provide a safe and healthy living environ-ment.

The agency said more than 200 people took advan-tage of smoking cessation classes that have been of-

fered to residents in the buildings.

ATLANTA — A 20-year-old fan from Tennessee was drinking alcohol before he fell to his death in the Geor-gia Dome and struck anoth-er man, who was injured, authorities said Saturday.

Isaac Grubb of Lenoir City, Tenn., was killed Fri-day night when he fell over a 33-inch railing and plum-meted to the lower level of the downtown Atlanta sta-dium during the Tennessee-North Carolina State game. Grubb had been cheering Tennessee’s second touch-down when the accident happened around 8:23 p.m., said Frank Poe, executive di-rector of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which operates the stadium.

Grubb, who was too young to legally buy alcohol, started drinking around 5 p.m., more than three hours before the accident, said Lt. Chad Hurston of the au-

thority’s police department. Investigators are awaiting results from the medical examiner’s offi ce before de-termining whether alcohol was a major factor in the accident, Hurston said. An autopsy was planned.

Witnesses have told po-lice Grubb did not buy alco-hol inside the stadium. His family could not be reached for comment.

Grubb landed on a 34-year-old man in the mezzanine from Fort Mill, S.C., who suffered minor injuries. Georgia Dome of-fi cials did not release the identity of the second vic-tim, who was treated and released from the Atlanta Medical Center.

An initial review has not identifi ed any equipment failures, Poe said. Patrons in the balcony are shielded by a railing that is 33 inches tall in front of seats and 42 inches tall in front of the aisles.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Humane Society of Mem-phis and Shelby County has kicked off a fundraising drive in an effort to provide a mobile spay/neuter clin-ic that will travel into the poorest sections of the city.

Kerry Sneed, the humane society’s outreach program director, told The Commer-cial Appeal that the move is aimed at helping people who live in areas where there isn’t a vet clinic or who don’t have transporta-tion to one.

The organization is seek-ing to raise $1 million, which it says would be enough to purchase a trail-er, put in two surgical bays, hire staff and have an oper-ating budget for fi ve years.

A $150,000 donation last week by Allen and Kay Iski-witz helped kick-start the

drive for a service that Hu-mane Society offi cials say is needed.

“We will never adopt our way out of overpopulation of pets in this city,” said Alexis Amorose. “We can do the very best work in this building but no mat-ter how much we do we will never truly be making a difference if we don’t get a handle on intake.”

The plan is for the MASH-style unit to go into neigh-bors for three or four days and spay and neuter as many animals as they can. Clinic staff will use data from Mem-phis Animal Services to fi nd out which neighborhoods need the service the most.

“The people with the lowest income, who have transportation issues, who simply can’t afford it, that’s who we want to help,” Sneed said.

Rachel Malcolm Ensor opens the door to her barn Aug. 23. The barn is part of the studio space she will be opening as the Burton Studio School for the Visual Arts in Murphysboro, Ill.

MURPHYSBORO, Ill. — Rachel Malcolm Ensor has devoted her life to educa-tion.

She has climbed her way through the ranks, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts de-gree from the Kansas City Art Institute, a master’s degree in art history and a doctorate from the Univer-sity of Missouri.

She has shared her ac-cumulated knowledge with students at SIU Carbon-dale, James Madison Uni-versity and even the Uni-versity of Ghana.

Now, she hopes to edu-cate Southern Illinoisans on a much more personal level. Ensor has established the Burton School for the Visual Arts in Murphys-boro and will begin teach-ing courses this semester. The school will offer non-degree art instruction for students of all experience levels from age 14 to 100.

“It’s something that’s al-ways been on my bucket list,” Ensor said of open-ing an art school. “I had an opportunity right now, so I decided I would just do it.”

For the inaugural semes-ter, Ensor will offer four courses, including Drawing from Art, Drawing Tech-niques, Still Life Draw-ing and Drawing from the Model.

The fi rst three are con-ducted in 12 two-hour sessions at a cost of $240 tuition, while the model-drawing class is $25 for each of up to 12 sessions. The model class is open only to those 18 or older.

Classes begin Sept. 12 and run through Dec. 8. Two-hour weekly private lessons are also available for $120 per month.

Ensor encourages all in-dividuals who are interest-ed in learning about art to

enroll. She said she’s had inqui-

ries from people who paint-ed years ago but walked away from the hobby, as well as older men looking to discover a new form of self-expression.

“If there are people who want to really raise the bar and bust their butt, I’m here for them,” she said. “If they want to just come draw with their friends for two hours a week, that’s fi ne, too.”

The school will offer an opportunity to learn in a different setting than a col-lege or university, Ensor said. It also differs from programs sponsored by

other art groups in format.By the spring, she hopes

she might be able to add some specialty events, such as weekend workshops with visiting artists.

There will also be differ-ent classes offered next se-mester.

Classes will be limited to about six or eight students per semester.

The small size will allow Ensor to work with each student individually and maximize their learning ex-perience.

“One of my big goals is to help people fi nd their own visual voice,” she said. “We all have our own drawing style inside us.”

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Well driller Randy Gebke usually uses a geology da-tabase and other high-tech tools to fi gure out where to sink new water wells for clients. But if asked, he’ll grab two wires, walk across the property, wait-ing for the wires to cross to fi nd a place to drill.

Gebke is water witching, using an ancient method with a greater connection to superstition than sci-ence.

Thousands of wells have gone dry this summer in the worst drought the na-tion has experienced in decades. Some homeown-ers are spending as much as $30,000 to have new ones drilled, and Gebke said most potential cus-tomers in his area expect water witching to be part the deal.

“Over 50 percent of the time in that conversa-tion, they ask do we have a witcher on the crew,” he said. “And my response is, ‘We have a witcher on ev-ery crew.’”

Water witching, also called divining or dows-ing, goes back to before the Middle Ages and in-volves using a forked stick, metal rod or piece of wire that mysteriously points to water underground. While scientists and pro-fessional groups say there is no evidence witching works, some well drillers say it usually does.

“I’m a wire man. ... I use two wires, and when they cross, that’s where the wa-ter usually is,” said Gebke, 56, the general manager of Kohnen Concrete Prod-ucts in Germantown, Ill.

Doc McClanahan, 46, who owns Doc’s Well &

Pump Service in Farming-ton, Mo., quietly acknowl-edged that he too will witch for water if a customer asks. He favors wild cherry branches for their fl exibil-ity and, though he says he has no idea how witching works, insists it can.

“You kind of get a feel for it,” McClanahan said. “It’ll twist in your hand.”

Cherry is a common choice, Gebke said, but no one chooses willow.

“That pulls toward dog squat,” he said, laughing at the thought of looking for water and fi nding a pile of something unwant-ed instead.

The National Ground-water Association, a trade group for well drillers, has offi cially disavowed witch-ing as “totally without sci-entifi c merit.”

And scientists who spe-cialize in water are, at best, skeptical.

“I’m not going to dis-pute it because you hear too many stories,” said

Mark Basch, a hydrologist who heads water rights and use operations at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. But, he said, there’s no scientif-ic explanation for it, “not in any of the books I read in school.”

Witching is an old practice. The U.S. Geo-logical Survey, in a pam-phlet on the subject, says cave paintings found in North Africa from 6,000 to 8,000 years ago show someone who appears to be witching for water. A German book on mining from the 1500s references the practice.

But while witching was common in Europe in the Middle Ages, the Chris-tian church condemned the practice as the work of Satan. Even an 1861 Ohio Supreme Court decision found that the way water fl ows underground was too big a mystery, too “se-cret and occult,” to be sub-ject to law.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — He’s 30, between jobs, with $50,000 in student debt and no clear sense what the future holds. But Erik San-tamaria, Ohio-born son of Salvadorans, has a pretty awesome attitude about his country, his life and the world of possibilities.

“Maybe things won’t work out the way I want,” he says. “But, boy, I sure can’t com-plain about how things have worked out so far.”

This is the sweet spot of American optimism, a trait that looms large in the na-tion’s history and imagina-tion. To fi nd it these days, talk to an immigrant, the child of one or, failing that, a young person of any back-ground. That’s where the torch seems most likely to burn brightly.

With anyone else, it’s hit or miss. For many, these times are a slog.

That “shining city on a hill” from political mytholo-gy looks more like a huffi ng climb up a fi eld fi lled with ticks. Public opinion re-

searchers fi nd handwring-ing at almost every turn, over a glum and nervous decade defi ned by terror-ism, then war, then reces-sion, then paltry economic recovery.

Still, you aren’t seeing pessimism in the season of the political conventions.

The Democrats, conven-ing Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., want to corner the franchise on happier tomor-rows, just as the Republi-cans wanted at their con-vention this past week. The notion that America’s best days are ahead comes pack-aged and polished from the stage, cheered by delegates in goofy hats.

But such platitudes prob-ably won’t go far with Marie Holly, 54.

On her lunch break in a mall just north of Columbus, Holly recounts a struggle to get by as a temporary fl oor designer at a department store, making one-third of the salary she once earned at a graphics-design fi rm that cut hours and wages before she quit in January to free-lance. She fi rmly believes in the American Dream, but in

the sense of dreaming it, not grasping it.

“I’m not seeing anything to strive for, I guess,” she said. “I’m settling.”

Polls sing the blues:■ Nearly two-thirds lack

confi dence that life for to-day’s children will be better

than it has been for today’s adults, according to an NBC-Wall Street Journal survey in May.

■ Half of registered vot-ers do not see the U.S. as the shining city on a hill, mean-ing the example for other countries, though 45 per-

cent do, according to a Fox News poll in June.

■ In April 2011, a USA To-day-Gallup poll found that optimism that the next gen-eration’s lives will be bet-ter than parents’ dropped to its lowest level since the question was asked in 1983.

Only 42 percent thought so. Before then, majorities al-ways believed their children would have a better life.

■ In a dramatic drop from the late 1990s and early 2000s, just over one-third were satisfi ed with the U.S. position in the world in a February Gallup poll, down from at least two-thirds in the months before and after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Younger people, though, typically see a rosier future than older generations. As long as that holds, optimism stays woven in the nation’s fabric.

In an August Associated Press-Gfk poll, only about half said it’s likely that to-day’s youth will have a bet-ter standard of living than their parents. But optimism was the greatest among those who have the farthest to climb — those of mod-est to low income, and the young themselves.

In the poll, 55 percent of those earning under $50,000 said it’s likely the next generation will do bet-ter; 58 percent of those un-der 35 expect to have a bet-ter life than their parents.

DALTON, Ga. — Factories dot the highway and carpet retailers and mills line the main street through this town nestled in the north Georgia foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, mak-ing clear why Dalton was dubbed Carpet Capital of the World.

Many of those businesses are shuttered now, hinting at one of the city’s more du-bious distinctions: The city

has lost more jobs per cap-ita in the past year than any other in the U.S. Between June 2011 and June 2012, 4,600 jobs in this city of 100,000 have disappeared, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics.

Factories in and around Dalton produced three-quarters of the nation’s fl ooring until the housing bubble burst and brought one of the largest U.S. man-

ufacturing industries to its knees. Thousands lost their jobs, and the unemploy-ment rate spiked from 4.7 percent in 2007 to 12.7 per-cent in 2009, according to the Georgia Department of Labor.

Recovery has been elusive here, in part because virtu-ally every other business in town relied on the prosper-ity of carpet. Support indus-tries, such as trucking, sud-denly had less to haul and

had to fi nd ways to make up for it. Offi cials say they’re fi ghting to bring their city back from the brink.

Of those 4,600 jobs lost, only 400 were in manufac-turing. Most of the rest were in construction, hospitality and other private sector ser-vices stinging from carpet’s decline. And that ripple ef-fect is to be expected, said Rajeev Dhawan of the Eco-nomic Forecasting Center at Georgia State University.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — More than 20 pilot whales came ashore on a South Florida beach on Saturday, triggering a daylong effort by state and national offi cials, nearby residents and others to save them.

By evening, fi ve pilot whales — two calves and three juveniles — had been transported to Flor-ida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Institute for rehabilitation.

The rest had died of natural causes or had to be humanely euthanized, said Allison Garrett, a spokeswoman for the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administra-tion’s fi sheries service.

“It was not possible to rehabilitate them,” she told the Associated Press.

The pod of 22 whales came ashore Saturday morning at Avalon Beach State Park in St. Lu-cie County. They ranged from calves and juveniles to adult whales.

Garrett said it was un-clear why the whales be-came stranded.

“Pilot whales are very social animals,” she add-ed. “One scenario could be one of the animals was sick. They won’t leave (a sick whale). They’ll stay

together.”For this reason, it’s use-

less to push pilot whales back into the ocean, Blair Mase, stranding coordina-tor for NOAA’s Southeast Region, told TCPalm.com.

“If you push them into the water, they’ll just keep coming back and strand-ing themselves again,” said Mase, who was surfi ng in the area when he noticed people running toward the beached whales.

TCPalm.com reports that hundreds of residents came to the beach to assist with the rescue, helping the animals turn upright so they could breathe better.

Volunteers covered the whales with moist tow-els and poured water over them. Red Cross volun-teers helped ensure that volunteers stayed hydrated in the hot sun.

“I think that people want to help animals,” said Jac-qui Thurlow-Lippisth, a

Harbor Branch volunteer who worked with oth-ers to tend to juveniles in a shaded infl atable pool. “Especially whales and dol-phins, because they are our counterparts in the seas. They’re mammals, they’re intelligent, they’re social. They’re a lot like us.”

Still, there was a sad un-dercurrent to the efforts, with rescuers aware that most of the whales were dying.

Garrett said there was no obvious sign of trauma or injury to the whales, but that necropsies would be performed on them.

She said offi cials and volunteers spent the day assessing the health of the whales to see which could be rehabilitated, and then making the others com-fortable.

She said the last such beaching in the area came in May 2011, on the Florida Keys.

DETROIT — A soldier from Michigan who was struck with a large, wooden mallet at his Army base in North Carolina was seri-ously injured, his father said, expressing anger and shock that the incident was allowed to occur.

Ken Roach of Battle Creek said his son, Sgt. Phillip Roach, was hurt at Fort Bragg during what the Army later called an un-authorized “hazing” event to mark his promotion to sergeant. The 22-year-old knocked his head on the cement after getting hit, causing a seizure and head wound that required six staples, his father said.

“I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d be con-tacted by anybody that my son had a seizure and was hit in the chest during a hazing incident,” he told The Associated Press on Friday.

Video of the incident fi rst obtained by WWMT-TV in Kalamazoo shows Roach receiving the blow after another solider takes three measured, practice swings at this chest. Roach stum-bles after being struck, then

collapses after shaking the hand of the mallet-wielding soldier.

The incident occurred April 4. In a letter he re-ceived in early June, Ken Roach said the Army called the incident “hazing” and that the soldier who was re-sponsible received a $1,000 fi ne and a reprimand cit-ing a simple assault. Ken Roach, an Army veteran himself, said he would like to see formal assault charg-es brought.

“It was assault with a weapon — he could have killed my son,” he said,

adding that his son, who operates unmanned aerial vehicles with the 82nd Air-borne, has been unable to perform those duties until he is “cleared by a doctor.”

Ken Roach said his son’s fi ancée, who also was a soldier but since has been honorably discharged, was at the event, and that she and his son both fear ret-ribution over the incident and don’t want to publicly comment.

Fort Bragg offi cials didn’t immediately return after-hours phone messages Fri-day.

Officials remove evidence from a Pathmark grocery store where three people died in an early-morning shooting in Old Bridge, N.J., on Friday. The motive is being investigated.

OLD BRIDGE, N.J. — Un-happy with his life as a Ma-rine stationed in California, Terence Tyler posed a ques-tion three years ago on Twit-ter: “is it normal to want to kill ALL of ur coworkers?”

Struggling with depres-sion, he left the Marines and recently started working at a supermarket in New Jersey.

On Friday morning, Ty-ler shot two co-workers and himself, police said. The 23-year-old, clad in desert camoufl age gear, opened fi re at a Pathmark store in Old Bridge Township, au-thorities said.

Authorities are investigat-ing his motive, but family members said Tyler was dis-charged from the Marines two years ago after suffering from depression and had never gotten over his moth-er’s death about fi ve years

ago.Authorities said Tyler left

his job as an overnight clerk at the Pathmark about 3:30 a.m. He drove off and re-turned to the store shortly afterward with a handgun and an assault rifl e, Mid-dlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said. About a dozen workers were in the closed store, putting new prices into a computer.

Tyler fi red more than 16 rounds from his rifl e — shooting at an employee standing outside and blow-ing out windows, authorities said. He shot at fi ve other workers in an aisle, killing Christina LoBrutto, 18, and Bryan Breen, 24, the pros-ecutor said.

Tyler, who began working at the supermarket less than two weeks ago, then drew his handgun and killed him-self, Kaplan said.

Several ammunition mag-azines were recovered along with the rifl e and a .45-cali-ber handgun, he said.

Tyler’s Twitter account, which has a photograph identifi ed by family mem-bers as Tyler, interspersed posts about hating Marine life, expressions of violence, and his take on football, movies, women and other interests.

“smh is it normal to want to kill ALL of ur coworkers?Maybe but I’m actually in a position where I can,smh,” he wrote in June 2009, using the handle (at)Tylerbkstyle and the abbre-viation “smh” for “shaking my head.” Tyler tweeted months later about killing.

“I’m starting to see why plp go on killin sprees,” he wrote. And these (obscenity) are reeeeeeally pushin my kill everyone I see button.”

Google requires to light up its cutting-edge Web access.

“It’s not fair,” said Mona Price, Central’s dean of instruction. “It’s not fair to the kids in urban settings who are trying to get an education.”

Many of the schools, libraries and poorest neighborhoods given fi rst shot at drawing Google’s ultra-fast Internet service

look in danger of missing out on Kansas City’s digital revolution.

Despite an offer by the tech giant’s Google Fiber operation to virtually give away some Internet service to customers, the areas most lacking in online con-nections also appear the most likely to be left behind in Kansas City’s leap ahead on a light-speed network.

Two weeks remain for dozens of neighborhoods to sign up enough potential

customers to qualify for Google’s service before a Sept. 9 deadline. But many neighborhoods — chiefl y the least prosperous pock-ets of the metro area — remain far behind the pace needed to hit the Google-established thresholds of customer penetration.

That means many of the free connections Google agreed to make to public buildings, library branches and community centers won’t happen.

eration of the idea.Though widely associat-

ed with college life, formal honor codes are hard to implement and fairly rare on American campuses. But some would argue they’re especially impor-tant at places like Harvard that are wellsprings of so many future leaders in government and business.

Cheating and plagiarism are serious rule viola-tions at Harvard, just like anywhere else. But Donald McCabe of Rutgers Univer-sity, an analyst of academic cheating, puts the number

of schools that go beyond such rules with some sort of formal honor code at no more than about 100. Details vary, but the com-monalities are a pledge signed — and largely enforced — by students not to cheat. Some require students also to report any cheating they witness.

At a few places, such as the military academies, the University of Virginia and some tradition-bound liberal arts colleges, honor codes extend far beyond academic misconduct and cover any lying and cheating. Many such schools are clustered in the

South. William & Mary, in Virginia, claims to have had the fi rst student honor code, dating to 1779 at the behest of Thomas Jeffer-son, an alumnus and the state governor at the time.

“You have surveys show-ing between two-thirds and three-quarters of college students cheat, and higher ed leaders don’t care, or at least not enough to do anything about it,” said David Callahan, senior fellow at Demos, a think tank, and author of the book “The Cheating Cul-ture: Why More Americans Are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead.”

CHEATINGCONTINUED FROM 1B

78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964, could face diffi culties fi nd-ing a doctor if they retire to small towns over the next 20 years.

First, many primary care doctors prefer to live and work in urban areas because of greater cultural opportu-nities, better schools and job opportunities for spouses.

Also, Medicare pays rural doctors less per procedure than urban physicians be-cause their operating costs are supposedly less. That makes rural doctors less likely to accept Medicare patients.

With cuts to Medicare reimbursement for doctors targeted under the federal health care overhaul, the shortage is likely to get even worse, said Mark Pauly,

professor of health care management at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania.

That is, unless increasing reimbursements for nurse practitioners and physi-cians’ assistants encourages those providers to take up the slack, Pauly said.

If the Medicare cuts go through, “the doctors are saying: “We’re out of here,’” Pauly said. “The least they are saying is: ‘We’ll treat

Medicare patients like we treat Medicaid patients,’ which is mostly not.”

Still, there is some good news, depending on where you live. Pauly said the Af-fordable Care Act “puts a lot of emphasis on wellness programs and primary care. Nurses, especially nurse practitioners, are intended to play a major role there.”

In Oregon, Washington and 14 other states, nurses

and nurse practioners “can operate independently of doctors, writing prescrip-tions, ordering tests, and even running clinics,” Pauly said.

Nationwide, the 22.5 per-cent of primary care doc-tors who practice in rural areas roughly matches the 24 percent of Medicare pa-tients living there, said Dr. Roland Goertz, chairman of the American Academy of

Family Physicians board.A survey of academy

members nationwide shows 83 percent take new Medi-care patients. But there is an overall shortage of pri-mary care physicians that still makes it hard for retir-ees to fi nd a family doctor.

The real problem, he said, is that the health care system “has not supported a robust, adequate primary care work-force for over 30 years.”

metal.“What can we do?”

Ahmed asked.Egypt’s newly elected

president, Mohammed Morsi, is under grow-ing pressure to answer that question. He already faces a host of challenges: secular Egyptians worried about his Islamist doc-trines; militants trying to stoke confl ict with Israel; and the poverty and job-lessness that fed the Arab

Spring and brought down the three-decade dictator-ship of Hosni Mubarak.

To all those, add the rising tide of garbage in Cairo, the world’s largest Arab city.

Morsi declared it one of his top fi ve priorities, promising to clean up the streets within 100 days.

In so doing, he gave the electorate a powerful way of measuring his abilities — and it looks increasingly certain that 100 days will be nowhere near enough.

Cairo’s waste manage-ment problem began to get acute a decade ago as the capital’s old system, simple but reliable, became swamped by population growth.

A government modern-ization effort fl opped. A swine fl u panic prompted the mass slaughter of the pigs that recycled Cairo’s organic garbage; the city’s metal trash bins were easy prey for thieves, especially during the global scrap metal boom.

Obama will largely be responsible for generat-ing that momentum. He will close the convention Thursday night with a speech in an outdoor foot-ball stadium, just as he did in 2008. Mindful of the comparisons to four years ago, Obama’s campaign is scrambling to ensure that the 74,000-seat stadium is fi lled to capacity. The largest crowd Obama has drawn during the 2012 campaign is about 14,000 people, far less than the jaw-dropping crowds he attracted in the 2008 campaign.

As in 2008, the cam-paign will use the large gathering to register voters and recruit new volunteers through text messaging and Twitter.

Aides say Obama won’t ignore the economic woes that have defi ned his four years in the White House. But they say he plans to focus largely on the future, and why he believes his policies will succeed in a second term. Obama isn’t expected to outline any new policy proposals. Instead, he plans to make the case for continuing what he has started. And he is expected to double down on agenda items, like immigration and tax reforms, that gained little traction during his four years in offi ce.

“When the convention is over, folks with be left with a clear road map of where he thinks America needs to go,” said Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager. “And it will be clear what his focus will be in an Obama second term.”

Working against Obama: the nation’s 8.3 percent unemployment rate, sluggish economic growth and fears the economy could slip back

into a recession.There’s also a general

malaise. An Associated Press-GfK poll conducted earlier this month showed 60 percent of registered voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction, while just 35 percent say it is heading in the right direction.

The convention opens Tuesday with fi rst lady Michelle Obama, whose popularity far surpasses her husband’s, as a fea-tured speaker. San Anto-nio, Texas, Mayor Julian Castro also is slated for that night. He will be the fi rst Hispanic to deliver the Democratic convention’s keynote address. Their roles on the convention’s opening night are part of Democrats’ efforts to shore up support among women and Hispanics, two crucial voting blocs where Obama holds an advantage over Romney.

Mrs. Obama is expected

to make the case that Obama is the best candi-date to advocate on behalf of the middle class be-cause he has experienced their struggles himself.

Many voters already have heard Mrs. Obama’s stories about her husband being raised by a single mother and his grandpar-ents or having struggled to pay off student loans.

But she is emphasizing them again in this cam-paign in hopes of drawing a contrast with Romney’s privileged upbringing.

Polls show voters think Obama understands the economic issues that are important to them bet-ter than Romney, even though the Republican has an edge on who voters believe is better suited to manage the economy.

Former President Bill Clinton, who is emerging as one of the campaign’s most effective surrogates, will headline the conven-

tion Wednesday and formally nominate Obama. He hopes to remind voters of the fl ush economy he presided over and make the case that Obama’s policies will lead to similar results.

Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry will ad-dress the large stadium crowd Thursday night before Obama speaks.

Kerry, seen as a poten-tial second-term secretary of state under Obama, will try to capitalize on the Democratic Party’s rare advantage on na-tional security issues. He is expected to trumpet Obama’s decision to order the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and the president’s plan to end the Afghanistan war, a sharp contrast to Republicans who rarely mentioned the war during their convention or the tens of thousands of troops still engaged in combat.

CONVENTION

CONTINUED FROM 1B

Associated Press

A worker walks across the main stage Saturday at the Democratic National Con-vention inside Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C. President Barack Obama will face the opportunity Thursday at the convention to convince Americans why they should stick with him.

Briefs

CINCINNATI — Unveiling a new campaign speech, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney vowed Saturday to lead America to a “winning season” and insisted that his party would stick to the promises of fis-cal responsibility that it had abandoned in the past.

“We’re going to finally have to do something that Re-publicans have spoken about for a long time, and for a while we didn’t do it. When we had the lead, we let people down,” Romney told a roaring crowd in Ohio as House Speaker John Boehner, a longtime congressional leader, stood behind him. “We need to make sure we don’t let them down this time. I will cut the deficit and get us on track to a balanced budget.”

The former Massachusetts governor blames President Barack Obama, a Democrat, for the country’s exploding debt and deficits.

Romney himself has not yet provided enough policy detail to show whether his budget plan would cut the deficit in the long term. The budget that his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, wrote and that House Republicans passed this year shows a decline in the deficit each year from 2013 until 2017, when it is fore-cast to be $488 billion.

Romney promotes agenda for ‘winning season’

URBANDALE, Iowa — President Barack Obama was barely back in Iowa, ready to drink in the adulation of supporters, when the booze news broke: The White House beer recipe is out.

The tweet from presidential spokesman Jay Carney along the motorcade ride seemed light enough — we’re talking about honey-flavored beer here — but it also served up a reminder of a campaign imperative. Obama wants to be the guy with whom people want to have a beer.

As constituencies go, Obama would seem to have the voting bloc locked up, given that his opponent, Repub-lican Mitt Romney, does not consume alcohol given his Mormon faith.

But as a political symbol, beer is not just about beer.It is about the likeable, accessible, regular guy who re-

lates to life in the real world and enjoys popping a cold one. Sure, taste counts, but so do votes.

What a buzz: For Obama, beer a way to connect

—Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama ac-cused Mitt Romney and Republicans on Saturday of of-fering outdated ideas that are ill-suited to voters during the first stop on a march to the Democratic convention. Romney, fresh from his GOP convention, vowed to bring more jobs to the country, bemoaning 23 million people out of work or underemployed.

“Despite all the challenges that we face in this new century, what they offered over those three days was, more often than not, an agenda that was better suited for the last century,” Obama said in Urbandale, Iowa, on a sprawling 500-acre property that serves as a museum of farming history.

“It was a rerun. We’d seen it before. You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV,” the president said.

Romney, at Cincinnati’s Union Terminal, gave a re-tooled campaign speech with a nod to the start of col-lege football season and a focus on creating jobs. “If you have a coach that’s zero and 23 million, you say it’s time to get a new coach. It’s time for America to see a winning season again, and we’re going to bring it to them.”

Obama, as his party’s faithful began streaming to Charlotte, N.C., for next week’s convention, assailed Romney’s three-day gathering in Tampa, Fla., as void of any new ideas to help voters struggling with an economy saddled with an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent.

“There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but nobody ever actually bothered to tell you what they were,” Obama said. “And when Gov. Romney had his chance to let you in on his secret, he did not offer a single new idea, just retreads of the same old policies that have been sticking it to the middle class for years.”
