Story, 2B Get on the plane: Deals plentiful for summer vacations, travel insiders Say. Business, 10B ’11 shortfall may hit $110 million Falling property values will torment county budget writers, officials say. By PAUL QUINLAN Post Staff Writer Palm Beach County's real estate val- ues will continue to fall next year by 10 percent or more, say county leaders, who estimate the deeper slide will open up a $110 million budget gap in 2011. The prospect of another gaping bud- get hole — this one, about 10 percent of the county's $1.1 billion operating bud- get — will likely require a fundamental rethinking of what services the county government should provide and at what cost to taxpayers already grappling with double-digit unemployment amid the worst financial crisis since the Great De jon. as residential real estate shows signs of recovery, commercial property values, which had shown some resilience, are now plunging further, Property Ap- praiser Gary Nikolits said. He predicted a lagging commercial real estate decline would at least offset any slowing or stabi- lizing of residential values. “I think next year is going to be at least as tough, if not tougher,” Nikolits said. “I wish I could be more optimistic.” The dire forecast emerged alongside new estimates that said Palm Beach County's tax base is on track to fall 12.9 percent this year, a decline not seen in more than a century, Nikolits said. The numbers were a slight, albeit insignifi- cant, improvement over last month’ es- timate, which said the county's property See TAXES, 98 > Riviera Beach residents rally to battle crime Monroe Heights neighbors take to the streets after a surge in burglaries. WILLIE HOWARD Palm Post Staff Writer RIVIERA BEACH — “No more break- ins, no more crime,” Amon Yisrael repeated on the loudspeaker of a police cruiser as Monroe Heights residents walked slowly down West 26th Court with Mayor Thomas Masters carrying signs reading No Violence on My Block. “Enough is enough,” Yisrael said. “The law will be strictly enforced.” Thursday night's walk against crime was one of several Masters plans to lead in Monroe Heights as residents fight a recent rash of burglaries. In Police Service Area 21, which in- cludes Monroe Heights, burglaries spiked to 35 in April, Another 38 break-ins were reported in May, and 19 had been report- ed for June as of Tuesday.

By LONA O'CONNOR Palm Beach Post Staff Writer ver 13 years, Lorenzo Robertson and Ricc Roll- ins have been best friends and full-time com- rades in the fight against HIV/AIDS. So it was a natural progression for them to collabo- rate on Silence Is Death, Unleashed Voices, a book featur- ing the words and faces of 25 Palm Beach County people in the HIWAIDS community. Robertson, Florida's minority AIDS coordinator in County, and Rollins, a Tampa minister and photographer, debuted their book at a reception Thursday night. Their hope is to draw more attention to this year’s HIV Test Day, to be held today at loca- tions across the county. To make the test available to as many people as pos- sible, a few test locations will include nighttime hours, such as the Sunset Night Club in West Palm Beach, which will offer testing from midnight tonight until 5 iy. Though overall HIV/AIDS infection numbers are de- creasing, the virus still disproportionately affects black people. Of 530 Palm Beach County people who tested positive in 2008, 377 were black.

VIERA BEACH RIVIERA BEACH — Frustrated by the lack of specifics in a revised marina redevelopment plan, the city council Wednesday set a July 22 deadline for Viking Developers LLC and the Community Redevelopment Agency staff to deliver cost estimates and details of land swaps proposed for the redevelopment of the marina and surrounding properties. In September, Viking Developers responded to the city’s request for proposals with a $500 million plan to rebuild the marina, Bicentennial Park and Newcomb Hall as well as adding a parking garage, a hotel, offices, shops and restaurants. Riviera budget proposals may result in 40 job cuts By WILLIE HOWARD Palm Beach Post Staff Writer RIVIERA BEACH — As many as 40 police officers, firefighters and general employees could lose their jobs under budget-cutting scenarios presented to the city council Thursday. Because the taxable value of city property is expected to drop 16. per cent during the budget year that begins Oct. 1, the city is _expected to bring in $2.5 million less in property tax revenue at the current tax rate of $8.43 per $1,000 taxable value Revenues from permit fees and other sources also are down budget scenario, with no tax increase, 60 fulltime positions would be cut — 4 police officers, 21 firefighters, four commu- nications officers and 21 general employees. Councilman Shelby Lowe noted that 22 posi- tions are vacant, meaning about 40 employees would be laid off under that sce- nario. Under a second pro- posal that calls for in- creasing the tax rate by 50 cents per $1,000 tax- able value, to $8.93, the city would keep all police and firefighters but would cut 30 fulltime positions — about 10 percent of the general employee work- time positions. A third scenario that in- creases the tax rate by $1 *r $1,000 taxable value, to 39.43, also calls for elimi- nating 30 fulltime and seven part-time positions but takes less money from reserves — about $500,000 versus $2 million under the first two scenarios. All three scenarios pre- sented Thursday call for all employees to take one unpaid day off a month for a savings of $1 million. All department heads have been told to cut their bud- gets by 10 percent. City Manager Jones plans to present 4 tentative budget to the council by July 30.

But there was no party or even a daughter. In- stead, the girl told author- ities, John Henry Peek spent the night sexually assaulting her. A judge Thursday ordered Peek, 42, of sub- urban West Palm Beach, held without bail. He is charged with sexual bat- tery on a child under 12, technically a felony pun- ishable by death. According to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's mother said a man she knew only as John invited the girl to a sleepover birthday party for his daughter. The mother said that when she dropped the girl off on June 16, she saw children playing outside and saw pizza and children’s videos in- side. The next morning the woman said, “John” dropped off her daughter at 6 a.m., saying his girl- friend and daughter had been in an accident. The woman said the girl told her she wasn't feeling well. The mother said she saw physical signs of the about them. She said the girl told her “John” had given her beer, had kissed her and had fondled her. On Monday, the girl spoke with investigators from the Child Protection Team. She told them the man “did nasty stuff to me,” the report said. She repeated to them what she had told her mother and added that Peek had exposed himself to her. On Wednesday, the re- port said, Peek came into the sheriff's offite and admitted to investigators that hed molested the girl, but only at her re- quest. Peek said she had seduced him. @eliot_Keinberg@popost.com Office report, the victim's Deal reached on By MARC FREEMAN Sun-Sentinel Negotiators Wednesday reached a tentative agreement on a new three- year contract for Palm Beach County school police officers.

Lamar Faher AO AB 06 SOCIAL my all > EPSTEIN fom 1B Attorneys for women now suing Epstein, as well as attorneys for The Palm Beach Post, had asked Col- bath to release the deal, arguing the public and the victims have a right to see it. “There is nothing more fundamentally important than for the public and press to observe how the government is doing its job,” Post attorney Deanna Shullman said. “There is great public interest in how everybody in this case is doing their job.” Goldberger argued that the confidential agreement Epstein struck with federal prosecutors should remain confidential. Included in it, Goldberger said, are ref- erences to federal grand jury proceedings, which are secret and protected by federal rules. A federal judge should decide the issue, he said. Attorneys Spencer Kuvin and Brad Edwards, who represent some of the women now suing Epstein, both said they were not surprised by Epstein’s at- torney moving to appeal. “Any chance to stall in any way and keep the agreement out of public disclosure, they will take it,” said Edwards outside court. He will have served about 13 months of an 18-month sentence. . Epstein pleaded guilty nearly one year ago to solicitation of prostitution and procuring ‘teenagers for prostitution and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. A sheriff's office official confirmed Thursday that Epstein will be released from the Palm Beach County Stockade on July 22 — nearly 13 months into his sentence. Sheriffs office spokes- erson Eric Davis said Epstein has earned gain time for good behavior and for participating in a work-release program. The saga began years ago after Palm Beach po- lice began investigating reports that young women were being brought to his manse on E} Brillo Way to massage him and have sex with him in exchange for money. Displeased with the way the state attorney's office handled the case, Palm Beach police later forwarded information to the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation. @ susan_spencer_wendel @pbbdpost.com Some teens skipped camp to work on film > G-STAR from 1B Dog-Gone Tale: Destiny's Stand. Akids’ movie about a courageous shelter dog and her young human friends, it’s the first feature with a student crew shot at G-Star or anywhere. “On the first two mov- ies, (the production) came in with a whole crew set and the students were interns, but now they're doing everything,” Haupt- ner said, as Tony-winning actor Barry Bostwick, who plays the movie's villain, conferred with screenwriter/actor Ron Palillo, who has grayer hair but the same face he had 30 years ago when he was Welcome Back Kotter’s Arnold Horshack. Palillo and Bostwick are being paid for their participation per the rules of the Screen Actors Guild, but are donat- ing their salaries to the school’s scholarship foun- dation. “The purpose of this is education and an experi- ence (the kids) can use for their whole careers,” said Bostwick, best known as the dim-bulb mayor on TV's Spin City and his Tony-winning role in Broadway's The Robber Bridegroom. “It's OK if we have to block (a scene) three or four times if they're learning.” The student crew of about 100 is working in every conceivable position on the film. Many of them skipped going to camp and taking paying jobs to work long days, tote equip- ment and sweat during many outdoor shots. “My mom said it was either this or surf camp. And I really wanted to go to surf camp,” said Ashlee Hudak, 15, a student script supervisor and actor from West Palm Beach. “But I'm glad I did this.” @ieslie_streeter@pbpost.com North Palm duo accused of stealing library videos By BILL DIPAOLO Palm Beach Post Staff Writer NORTH PALM BEACH — Almost 200 videos have been ‘stolen from the vil lage library, prompting tighter security and ques- tions from officials on how they are going to replace almost 8 percent of the vil- lage collection. : “That's a big whack, Village Manger Jimmy Knight said. “It's going to be difficult to find money for new videos.” Village police arrested Edward Walters, 39, an + Elaine Ruiz, 40, both of the 500 block of East Wind Drive on charges they stole 42 videos from the library on Anchorage Drive.

Gains in home builders, retailers and other consumer discretionary stocks led the market Sharply higher Thursday. THE MORNING LINE New jobless claims increase WASHINGTON — The Labor Depart- ment said Thursday that new jobless claims jumped unexpectedly last week. And the number of people continuing to receive unemployment aid rose more than expected. The figures indicate that jobs remain scarce even as the economy shows some signs of recovering from the lon- gest recession since World War IL Arevised reading on gross domestic product — the broadest measure of the nation’s output — said the economy posted a 5.5 percent annualized decline from January through March. That was slightly better than the 5.7 percent estimate made a month ago. Mortgage rates up slightly WASHINGTON — The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 5.42 percent, up from 5.38 percent a week earlier, mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday. Rates on 30-year mort- gages fell to a record low of 4.78 percent earlier this year. But then they rose as high as 5.6 percent earlier this month after yields on long-term government debt, which are tied to mortgages rate, climbed as investors worried that the huge surplus of government debt hitting the market could trigger inflation. AIG to reduce debt by $25 billion NEW YORK — American International Group Inc. said Thursday it will reduce outstanding federal loans by $25 billion by giving the government a preferred stake in two units that will be spun off from the insurance giant. AIG is placing two life insurance subsidiaries — American International Assurance Co. and American Life Insurance Co. — into special purpose vehicles ahead of planned initial public offerings. As part of the plan, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will receive preferred interests in the SPVs which will eventu- ally be independent companies once a public offering is completed. Oil up on positive economic news NEW YORK — Oil prices jumped above $70 a barrel Thursday after the govern- ment said that the economy may be far- ing better than previously thought. In a revised reading on gross domestic prod- uct in the first quarter, the Commerce Department reported a 5.5 percent an- nualized decline from January to March, rather than the 5.7 percent it reported a month ago. The slowing economy has slashed demand for energy as factories shut down and fewer people drive to work or take leisure trips. Lennar’s orders up, stock surges MIAMI — Stuart Miller, CEO of Len- nar Corp., tried to temper enthusiasm about a housing market recovery, but investors zeroed in on one number: a 63 percent spike in new home orders between the builder's first and second quarters. While Lennar still posted a slightly wider quarterly loss, its stock jumped 17 percent (NYSE: $9.19) and led the entire sector in a rally Thursday. — Palm Beach Post wire services The pump primer Average prices for regular grade gas as of Thursday. y This week | Last week West Palm Beach, Boca Raton $2.77 $2.79 _ Martin County $2.77 | $2.74 © $t Lucie County $2.75 | $2.75 Indian River County $2.68 | $2.70 Okeechobee County $2.69 $2.70 Fort Lauderdale $2.74 | $2.76 Miami $2.76 $2.77 Orlando $2.64 $2.64 Florida $2.69 $2.70 Sowces AAA Os Price informason Service STAFF GRAPHIC PalmBeachPost.com: Post the lowest fuel Prices you've found in your area and read what others say. Click on Business, > i } | | On Capitol Hill, he denies coercing Bank of | America to buy Merrill. By JEANNINE AVERSA Associated Press WASHINGTON Facin, an unusual political trial, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke disputed ac- cusations Thursday that he pressured Bank of America to acquire Merrill Lynch in a deal that cost taxpayers $20 billion. In a three-hour hearing of the House Oversight and Gov- ernment Reform Committee, Bernanke denied threaten- ing to oust Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis or the bank's board members if they abandoned the takeover after discovering spiraling losses at Merrill. “I never said that I would replace the board and man- agement” if Lewis decided to invoke a clause in the acqui- sition contract to try to stop the deal, Bernanke told the committee. It was Bernanke's first public response since the committee launched an in- vestigation into whether he or other government officials bullied Bank of America to stick with its plan to combine the two financial powers. Throughout the day, Ber- nanke faced often hostile uestions — unusual for a Fed chief, who typically com- mands deference in public. Of Bernanke's denial that he threatened Lewis’ job, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said: “With all due respect, I'm just not buying that.” Neither was Rep. Dan Bur- ton, R-Ind., who huffed: “This is not a socialist society.” Adopting the role of outsid- er, Republicans have turned See BERNANKE, 78 > T-shirt business gives back RAY GRAHAM/Statt Photographer “We are using T-shirts as a vehicle to help the community,’ says Jeff Firestone, who created his Boca Raton business ChariTEES when he began to print T-shirts at a discount for local charities, ChariTEES helps printer, groups thrive By TRACEY McMANUS Palm Beach Post Staff Writer BOCA RATON — When his téxtile business slammed to a halt in 1998, Jeff Fire- stone looked around at the idle printing machines in his Miami warehouse and thought he had become a feast-to-famine story. His financial partner of eight years had just backed out of their T-shirt produc- tion business, leaving Fire- stone needing a plan — and a use — for his printing equipment. He needed a niche mar ket. And when he began offering to print T-shirts at least 25 percent below mar- ket rates for the events of local charities, ChariTEES was born. Since relocating to Boca Raton in 2000, ChariTEES has printed T-shirts for hundreds of charities na- tionwide with its low-cost pitch, and has donated thou- sands of dollars in products and cash to Palm Beach County charities. “I believe in taking my profits and putting it back in the community,” Fires- tone said. “There's a major disparity in this county of the haves and have-nots, and I want to equal that disparity.” Firestone donates 10 percent of his annual sales ChariTEES Location: Boca Raton Annual sales (2008): $300,000 . Business: ChariTEES provides T-shirt design and printing _ at below market-rate costs to nonprofit organizations, schools, hospitals and camps. Web site: www.ChariTEES.org revenue to local and nation- al charities, which came to $30,000 in donations in 2008. The 57-year-old veteran of the printing industry chooses the charities that receive his donations on a need basis. But often when charities buy T-shirts from ChariTEES, donations fol- low, he said. For instance, he donated 50 shirts and $400 towards a carousel for Child Life Institute's pediatric center Christmas Party last year. And when Elinor Joseph- son bought nearly 1,000 shirts for staff and campers for the 2009 JCC Ted Weis- berg camp in Boca Raton, she also received a $350 do- nation to help support the camp's lunch program. “What he gave us was the financial ability to help feed those kids,” Josephson said. His low prices have iven him an edge in the $22 billion garment print- ing industry, attracting business from Chicago's DePaul University and The National Coalition for the Homeless in Washington. Firestone does most of the networking, but he has recently hired sales repre- sentatives in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles on the condition they donate 5 percent of their yearly com- missions to the charities of their choice. By the end of this year, Firestone also plans to launch LiberTEES, a T- shirt printing company that uses all US. made materials and will employ Iraq war veterans as sales representatives. “We are using T-shirts as a vehicle to help the com- munity,” Firestone said. “It started as a business, but now it's a labor of love.” @ tratey_mcmanus@pbpost.com | Stanford ‘pleads not guilty to fraud | Prosecutors say he’s a Slight risk and want him held without bail. By JUAN A. LOZANO The Associated Press HOUSTON Texas billionaire R. Allen Stan- ford pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges he swindled investors out of $7 billion as part of a mas- sive investment scam. Stanford entered his plea during his arraign- ment in federal court. The financier was indicted on charges that his interna- tional banking empire was really just a colossal Ponzi scheme. Laura Pendergest-Holt, Gilberto Lopez and Mark Kuhrt, three executives with the now defunct Houston-based Stanford Financial Group who were indicted along with their former boss, also entered not guilty pleas. At a bond hearing shortly after the execu- tives’ arraignment, pros- ecutors argued Stanford should be held without bail as he awaits trial on fraud charges because he might have access to billions of | dollars in secret funds.

By JOSHUA FREED The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — If you've been waiting for the lowest possible airfare for a trip this summer, it may be time to get off the fence. Fares have dropped for months while travelers held off buying tickets because they were afraid of losi a job or worried about af fording even a scaled-back vacation. But with July 4 fast approaching and jet fuel pric- es rising, some fares could be set to climb again. Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com, said it looks like airlines are trying to halt the fare slide, with recent hikes of $10 and $20 round-trip. Still, he wrote in an e-mail that the minor increases in the past two weeks “have by no means completely curtailed the flood of cheap airline” tickets from the first half of the year. In fact, AirTran recently put out fares that hit new market lows on hundreds of routes, he wrote. Memorial Day usually sig- nals the end of the best time to book travel, but this year was different. With fewer people traveling, the sales continued. A Travelocity survey shows fares down 17 percent for travel between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day. The travel Web site also says travelers are booking 86 days before departure in- stead of 90 days. That might not sound like a big deal, but Genevieve Shaw Brown, se- nior editor at the online travel Web site, said it takes lots of people booking later to move the needle that much.

The company’s $1.6 billion remodeling program of 3,600 stores will lower shelves and widen aisles to give clearer paths. Retailer redoes stores, stock for high-spending customers By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press The recession steered a new type of customer to Walmart — deeper in the s and suddenly look ing for bargains. Now the world’ largest retailer has to figure out how to keep that customer when the economy recovers. So Walmart is bringing in more brand names, ditch- ing scores of other products and even redesigning hun- dreds of stores to give them wider aisles, better lighting and better sight lines. It's more than just a cos- metic upgrade. That new breed of customer also spends about 40 percent more than the traditional Walmart shopper, and the retailer senses an op- portunity to accelerate its growth. jake Aditya Krishnan, a 42-year-old lawyer from San Jose, Calif. He used to buy only light bulbs at Walmart but now finds him- self spending $150 a month there, including buying workout clothes he used to get at Macy's. “If I am able to get good stuff at Walmart, and I am able to save money, why would I change?” Krishnan asked. “I am seein; brands, and the ing experience js better” than before.

Stimulus money winds up in savings People socked away cash at the highest rate in 15 years. By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — House- holds pushed their savings rate to the highest level in more than 15 years in May as a big boost-in incomes from the government's - stimulus program was devoted more to bolstering nest eggs than increased | spending. The higher savings rate is healthy in the long term, economists said. But with- out vigorous consumer spending, the government may have to do more to revive the economy, pos- sibly through further tax breaks and spending. The Commerce De- partment said Friday that consumer spending rose 0.3 percent in May, in line with expectations. But in- comes jumped 1.4 percent, the biggest gain in a year and easily outpacing the 6.3 percent increase that economists expected. The savings rate; which was hovering near zero in early 2008, surged to 6.9 percent, the highest level since December 1993. The income increase reflected temporary fac- tors relating to the $787 billion economic stimulus program that President Obama pushed through Congress in February to fight the recession, That included _ one- See SAVINGS, 118 > program MEL EVANS/The Associated Press A man empties a bag of coins into a counting machine at TD Bank in Fairless Hills, Pa. Feds set warrant process for bailed-out banks By DANIEL WAGNER and MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — _ The Obama administration on Friday established its process for pricing billions of dollars’ worth of warrants that lange banks must repurchase to exit the $700 billién bailout Pte e Treasury Department said the banks will make the first offer for the warrants. Treasury then will decide to sell at that price or make a counteroffer. If the govern- ment and a bank cannot agree on a fair price for the warrants, the two sides will have the right to use private appraisers. Treasury also could auc- tion to private bidders war rants from banks that choose not to repurchase them. The banking industry endorsed the plan, but crit- ics said it could shortchange taxpayers in the long run. he warrants give the gov- ernment the right to purchase shares of bailed-out banks at a set price in 10 years. If stock prices have risen by then, taxpayers could reap a healthy profit. But many of the banks already have paid 5 percent dividends on their Trea- sury investments and have bristled at paying an extra fee for a program they were pressured to join, Treasury has faced pres- sure from Congress to get a good return for taxpayers, and from banks not to penal- ize them just as the industry stabilizes. Friday's announce- ment reflected a middle path: The purchase prices may be lower than the warrants would fetch on the open mar- ket, but they still will cost the banks a substantial amount. “Treasury faces a real di- lemma here,” said banking consultant Bert Ely. “Taxpay- ers ought to make some mon- ey for the risk they took here, but they were taking that risk for a lot less time than anyone anticipated.” Some of the nation’s largest banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, have been eagerly awaiting Treasurys decision. They were among 10 banks that repaid a total of $68 billion in bailout money last week. > COMING SUNDAY Litigants are discovering that their cases may be wiped out by Chrysler's pankruptcy PalmBeaghPost.com/business, ‘ EF TA00259920

Tri-Rail opts to Money that would go to upgrading trains will go to avoid service cuts. By MICHAEL TURNBELL Sun Sentinel * POMPANO BEACH — Tri-Rail will limp along for another year without any cuts to its schedule. The board that oversees the commuter train voted Friday morning to tap into $8 million in county gas tax money to avoid drastic cuts in service this fall. The money is normally used to pay for things like locomotives, new cars and sta- tion improvements. Instead, it will be spent just to keep the trains running. Tri-Rail’s budget ts taking a $9 million hit next year because Broward, Palm Local govern keep schedule Beach and Miami-Dade counties plan to cut their annual subsidiés used to run the trains. While riders don't want to lose service, they also say passenger cars need to be upgraded or replaced. “What I don't see anyone discussing is that the trains have been breaking down for the last couple of weeks because of the heat,” said Steven Daun of Boca Raton, who rides the train on weekdays to Miami. “Many of the air conditioners in many of the cars either don't work or circulate warm air. Tri-Rail has become the epito- me of what mass transit shouldn't be.” Without additional cash for operations, Tri-Rail faced slashing the number of weekday trains from 50 to 30 and cancel- ing all service on weekends and holidays starting Oct. 5. ments weigh cuts to balance budgets DP TAXES from 1B Big tumble values would drop 13.5 percent To collect the same amount of money this year as last year, the county Groves saw the Palm Beach County's property tax base shrank 12.9 percent this past year, the worst decline in a century, Property Appraiser Gary Nikolits said.

we y Judge orders Jeffrey Epstein plea deal documents unsealed, but attorney seeks stay Page 1 of 2 PalriBéachbally News.com CESPRINTTHIS NE SHIRY BREET Powered by (@ Clickability Judge orders Jeffrey Epstein plea deal documents unsealed, but attorney seeks stay By MICHELE DARGAN Daily News Staff Writer Thursday, June 25, 2009 Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath ruled today that the federal government's non-prosecution agreement for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein should be unsealed Monday. However, defense attorney Jack Goldberger immediately handed up a motion asking Colbath to keep the ruling in abeyance until after he appeals the ruling to the Fourth District Court of Appeal. Colbath will hear arguments at 9 a.m. Friday. The agreement was sealed when Epstein, of Palm Beach, pleaded guilty in June 2008 to two felonies: procuring a minor for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. As part of Epstein's state plea agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office agreed not to prosecute Epstein on federal charges as long as he fulfills all requirements of his sentence and probation. The federal non-prosecution agreement has been under seal in state court. There are more than a dozen civil lawsuits — both state and federal — pending against Epstein. All contain similar allegations: Epstein, through his employees and assistants, brought minor girls to his Palm Beach home on El Brillo Way for erotic massages and sometimes sex. Fort Lauderdale-based attorney Brad Edwards, who represents three of Epstein's victims, asked Colbath to unseal the federal agreement to the public. Edwards asked that the records be unsealed on behalf of one of the victims, E.W. An attorney for The Palm Beach Post also asked that the records be unsealed. Edwards and his clients have seen the agreement after a federal judge ruled that they are allowed to see it. But that ruling bars Edwards and anyone else who sees the document from disclosing the terms to anyone else. Edwards has said he wants to use that document "in the deposition of various material witnesses" relative to his cases. Radaronline.com has reported that Epstein has "secretly been helping the feds unravel a Ponzi scheme" related to the June 2008 indictment of two former managers of Bear Stearns http://cox.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Judgetorders+Jeffrey+Epstei... 6/25/2009 EFTA00259922

Epstein's rep, Howard Rubenstein, confirmed last year that Epstein is "Major Investor No. 1" in the indictment, which says he lost about $57 million. Goldberger filed court papers asking that the documents stay sealed for the following reasons: "to prevent a serious imminent threat to the fair, impartial and orderly administration of justice; to protect a compelling government interest; to avoid substantial injury to innocent third parties and to avoid substantial injury to a party by disclosure of matters protected by a common law and privacy right, not generally inherent in these specific type of proceedings, sought to be closed." Epstein will be released from the Palm Beach County Stockade July 22, after serving less than 13 months of his 18-month sentence for procuring a minor for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office, confirmed his release date Tuesday. Epstein's projected release date had been Sept. 24, but gain time — which includes his participation in a work-release program — moves the date up to July 22, Barbera said. Epstein has been in the work-release program since Oct. 10, where he is allowed out of the stockade six days a week, from'10 a.m. to 10 p.m., to go to his West Palm Beach office, the Florida Science Foundation, monitored by an ankle bracelet and accompanied by a deputy.

Palm Beach & South Florida gossip & celebrity news | Jose Lambiet’s Page2Live.com »... Page 3 of 4 Posted by Jose Lambiet | Cash | Friday 13 February 2009 8:27 am & Billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is spending his nights at the county stockade, but that hasn’t prevented him from getting sued yet again. Only this time, it’s not by a very young suburban girl who performed sex acts for him. The 56-year-old massage-loving Epstein is now accused of stiffing a contractor who built a larger dock for his $10.7 million Palm Beach home and dredged the Intracoastal to allow access to bigger ships. The West Palm-based Palm Beach Marine Construction filed in federal court here. “He owes $105,000 for the dredging and my client has been trying to collect since August,” said Alexander Lian, the attorney for Palm Beach Marine. “Apparently, Mr. Epstein blew his top when he saw the bill. Still, 100 grand shouldn't really matter to him. “This happens often with wealthy people. They have the time and the money to take someone to court and try to get a better deal.” So far, Epstein paid the contract's original $30,000. But an Epstein gofer, according to the lawsuit, told the contractor to keep dredging and the final bill swelled. At the time, Epstein was unavailable. He'd just started serving 18 months for his guilty plea on two prostitution-related charges, including for procuring a woman younger than 18. Lian’s filing shows the contractor also placed a lien on Epstein’s home. The man who repped Epstein when the contract was signed, Douglas Shoettle, said he had no comment. Epstein is also being sued by two of the girls he is accused of fondling. They say they were dropped off at his home and paid to perform A friend of former prez Bill Clinton and magician David Copperfield, Wall Street prodigy Epstein was facing decades in prison after Palm Beach Police found out he did business with girls as young as 14. But his guilty plea bought him a lighter sentence and a registration as sex offender. Already, Epstein is allowed to leave the stockade every moming to work at his office. He’s supposed to return to the county jail every night, according to State Attomey spokesman Mike Edmondson. ShareThis No Comments » No comments yet. RSS feed for comments on this post.

Page 1 of 3 oe . e G2) PRINTTHIS Attorneys push to open sealed deal Epstein made in pleading guilty to procuring teens for prostitution By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Wednesday, June 10, 2009 WEST PALM BEACH — When wealthy money manager Jeffrey Epstein of Palm Beach pleaded guilty last year to procuring teens for prostitution, his case detoured around local and state rules regarding the sealing of court documents. At a plea conference on state charges, a judge, a defense lawyer and a prosecutor huddled at the bench and decided that a deal Epstein had struck with federal prosecutors to avoid charges should be sealed, according to a transcript of the hearing. Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein has been sentenced to 18 months for felony solicitation of prostitution following accusations by teen girls. Past coverage Post your comments on this story below More local news Latest breaking news, photos and all of today's Post stories. Jeffrey Epstein And so it was. But Florida rules of judicial administration, as well as rules of the Palm Beach County court system, require public notification that a court document has been or will be sealed, meaning kept from public view. The rules also require a judge to find a significant reason to seal, such as protecting a trade secret ora compelling government interest. Yet no notification or reason occurred in Epstein's case, according to court records. http://palmbeachpost.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Attorneystpush+t... 6/10/2009 EFTA00259930

And it was "a significant inducement" for Epstein to accept the state's deal, observed the state judge who accepted his plea, County Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo. Epstein now faces at least a dozen civil lawsuits in federal and state courts filed by young women who said they had sex with him and now are seeking damages. Attorneys for some of those women want Epstein's agreement with federal prosecutors unsealed and will ask Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath to do so today. "It is against public policy for these documents to have been sealed and hidden from public scrutiny. As a member of the public, E.W. has the right to have these documents unsealed," wrote former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, now in private practice and representing one of the women. The Palm Beach Post also will ask Colbath to unseal the agreement. Post attorney Deanna Shullman will argue that the public has a right to know the specifics of Epstein's deal. According to various media accounts, Epstein moved in circles that included President Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew. "International Moneyman of Mystery," declared a 2002 New York magazine profile of Epstein. Epstein, 56, is in the Palm Beach County Stockade, serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty nearly a year ago to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. He is allowed out from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., escorted by a deputy, said Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera. During a Palm Beach Police Department investigation, five victims and 17 witnesses gave statements. They told of young women brought by his assistants to Eptstein's mansion on E! Brillo Way for massages and sexual activity, and then being paid afterward. At Epstein's plea conference last year, his attorney, Jack Goldberger, and then-Assistant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek approached Pucillo in a sidebar conference. Pucillo, who had left the bench nine years earlier, was there as a senior judge filling in temporarily. According to a transcript, Goldberger told Pucillo that Epstein had entered a confidential agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office, in which federal prosecutors brokered not pursuing charges against him if he pleaded guilty in state court, Pucillo then said she wanted a sealed copy of the agreement filed in his case, and Goldberger concurred that he wanted it sealed. Belohlavek later signed off on it. The Florida Supreme Court has expressed "serious concern" and launched an all-out inquiry into sealing procedures across the state following media reports in 2006 of entire cases being sealed and disappearing from court records. http://palmbeachpost. printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Attorneystpush+t... 6/10/2009 EFTA00259931

BT rules Jeffrey Epstein agreement to remain sealed Page | of 2 G2) PRINTTHIS Powered by (@Cickability Judge rules Jeffrey Epstein agreement to remain sealed By MICHELE DARGAN Daily News Staff Writer Monday, February 16, 2009 A federal judge has ruled that a non-prosecution document under which the government agreed not to pursue federal charges against sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will remain under seal — at least for now. The U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's lawyers reached the agreement before Epstein pleaded guilty to state felony charges, and the document is under seal in Epstein's state criminal file. Representing two of Epstein's victims, attorney Brad Edwards asked to have the document unsealed as part of his federal lawsuit against the Manhattan money manager. Although Edwards and his victims have seen the agreement, Edwards says in his pleadings that the government has "inaccurately described the agreement ... creating a false impression that the agreement protects the victims." U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled that the claims, even if true, haven't damaged Edwards' case. “If and when such alleged mischaracterizations become relevant to an issue to be decided by the court, the parties will be given the opportunity to advance their positions and the court will resolve the issue," he wrote. "If disclosure of the agreement will be required for the court to resolve this issue, appropriate disclosure will be ordered." Seeking to keep the agreement sealed, Assistant U.S. Attorney [I argued that the agreement is not part of any case before Marra. "The non-prosecution agreement has never been filed under seal in federal court," he wrote. He also denied that the agreement has been inaccurately described. Marra sided with a on the argument that the agreement was not filed in federal court "under seal or otherwise. On Aug. 14, Marra ruled that the non-prosecution agreement would be unsealed for Edwards and any of the victims who want to see it. But the ruling bars Edwards and anyone else who http://cox.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Judge+rules+Jeffrey+Epstein... 2/17/2009 EFTA00259933

Judge rules Jeffrey Epstein agreement to remain sealed Page 2 of 2 sees the document from disclosing the terms to anyone else. In his motion to unseal, Edwards said he wants to be able to discuss the terms of the agreement with other victims and their attorneys as well as with other victims' rights groups such as the National Alliance of Victims' Rights Attorneys. The desire to discuss the agreement with third parties is not justification for unsealing the document, Marra ruled. "If a specific tangible need arises in a civil case ... relief should be sought in that case," he wrote. Epstein, 56, is serving 18 months in jail for soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. Under the agreement, federal prosecutors will defer their decision on whether to prosecute Epstein on federal charges until 90 days after Epstein completes all requirements of his state sentence. If he abides by all court conditions and restrictions, the federal case would be dropped. . In addition to the state criminal case, there are nine federal and seven state lawsuits pending against Epstein. All contain similar allegations: The Manhattan money manager, through his employees and assistants, brought minor girls to his Palm Beach home at 358 El Brillo Way for erotic massages and sometimes sex.

* 2A THE PALM BEACH POST . WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009 Obama’ budget rules proposal not exactly ‘pay as you go The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Obama on Tuesday proposed bud- get rules that would allow Congress to borrow tens of billions of dollars and put the nation deeper in debt to jump-start the administration's emerging health care overhaul. The “pay-as-you-go” budget for- mula plan is significantly weaker than a proposal Obama issued with little fanfare last month. It would carve out about $2.5 trillion worth of exemptions for Obama's priorities over the next decade. His health care reform plan also would get a green light to run big deficits in its early years. But over a decade, Congress would have to come up with money to His plan would allow big deficits for a health care overhaul. cover those early deficits. Obama’ latest proposal for ad- dressing deficits urges Congress to pass a law requiring lawmakers to pay for new spending programs and tax cuts without further adding to deficits projected to total about $10 trillion over the next decade. If new spending or tax reduc- tions are not offset, there would be automatic cuts in so-called manda- tory programs — although Social Security payments and the Med- and disabled would be exempt and cuts to Medicare would be sharply limited. “The ‘pay-as-you-go’ rule is very | simple,” Obama said. “Congress | can only spend a dollar if it saves a | dollar elsewhere.” | Last month, Obama suggested | a tougher plan that would prohibit Congress from swelling the deficit in one year by putting off until later years the tax increases or spending | cuts to pay for it. | The requirement for legislation to be financed over the coming decade generally mirrors existing congressional rules and reflects the likelihood that Obama's health care | plan will add many billions of dollars | Senate hastens hearings on Sotomayor The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats, determined to seat Sonia Sotomayor on the Supreme Court quickly, announced mid- July hearings on her nomination Tuesday in a surprising move that angry Republicans said clouded the prospects for the nomination and other legislative business. GOP leaders lashed out after Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, announced that he would House passes clunkers’ bill to aid car sales The law would encourage drivers to conserve fuel. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House on Tuesday ap- proved a “cash for clunk- ers” bill that aims to boost new auto sales by allowing consumers to turn in their gas-guzzling cars and trucks for volich- ers worth up to $4,500 to- ward more fuel-efficient vehicles. President Obama has encouraged Congress to approve consumer incentives for new car purchases as part of the government's work to re- structure General Motors and Chrysler. The House approved the bill 298-119. Local Democrats Al ee Hastings, Ron Klein and Robert Wexler sided with the majority. Republican Tom Roo- ney voted against the measure, Supporters pushed for the measure to stimulate car sales and increase the fleet of fuel-efficient vehicles on the nation’s highways. The auto industry has sought the incentives after months of poor auto sales. In May, overall sales were 34 percent lower than a year ago. “Stimulating sales is the only way to get the auto industry back on its feet,” said Rep. Donald Manzullo, R-II General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have received billions of dol- lars in government aid and the entire auto indus- try has watched car sales plummet during the past year. In May, overall sales were 34 percent lower than a year ago. “Our industry has been stuck in neutral and really has not started to move,” said Larry Kull, president of Marlton, NJ-based Burns Kull Automotive Group, which includes General Motors, Honda and Toyota dealer- ships. The vehicle scrap- page bill has been under negotiations for months as lawmakers try to find a solution that boosts car sales while provid- ing some environmental benefits. Proponents have point- ed to similar programs in Europe that have en- hanced auto sales. Opponents said the bill failed to include in- centives for used vehicles and represented an ar tificial incentive for the industry. “It's defying the laws of economics and saying we can manufacture eno of a demand to keep auto industry afloat,” said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. Separately, House and Senate appropriators were discussing provid- ing $1 billion to a supple- mental war funding bill for the “cash for clunkers” program, which aims to generate about 1 million new auto sales.

Warnings about the birds probably would not have helped, Capt. Ches- ley Sullenberger told federal safety officials Tuesday as they looked for ways to prevent a re- currence. “In my experience, the warnings we get are general in nature and not specific and therefore have limited usefulness,” Sullenberger said at a hearing by the National Transportation Safety Board. The board began three days of hearings into safety issues arising from the Jan. 15 accident, including efforts to pre- vent bird strikes and the ability of engines to withstand collisions with large birds. Other issues include whether Federal 4 Aviation Ad- ministration aircraft standards are adequate to protect passengers Sullenberger in, the event of a forced water landing. In the case of US Airways Flight 1549, the Airbus A320 suffered a rupture near the tailcone that sent water gushing into the cabin after its forced landing on the Hudson River. All 155 aboard managed to es- cape the sinking craft. A cockpit voice record- er transcript released by the board showed Sullenberger and co- pilot Jeffrey Skiles were admiring their surround- ings less than a minute before their plane struck a flock of Canada geese and lost thrust in both engines. Sullenberger told the board that he didn't at- tempt to return to New York's LaGuardia Airport because he thought, “I cannot afford to be wrong. } The Associated Press NEW YORK — A rare copy of Benja- min Franklin's Poor Richard almanac has made somebody rich — selling at a New York City auction for more than half a million dollars.

Swine flu pandemic could be imminent The World. Health Organization wants to avoid ‘adverse effects.’ The Associated Press GENEVA — The World Health Organization said Tuesday a spike in swine flu cases in Australia may push it to finally announce the first flu pandemic in | 41 years. It also expressed | concern, about an unusual | rise in severe illness from the disease in Canada, WHO flu chief Keiji Fukuda said the agency wanted to avoid “adverse effects” if it announces a lobal outbreak of swine | ju. Fukuda said people might panic or govern- ments might take inap- | propriate actions if WHO declares a pandemic. Some flu experts think the world is in a pandemic and that WHO has caved in to some nations’ re- quests that a declaration be postponed. “On the surface of it, I think we are in phase 6,” or a pandemic, said Mar garet Chan, WHO’s direc- tor-general. Chan said it was impor- tant to verify the reports that the virus is becoming established outside North America before declaring a uc. “I need to be convinced that I have indisputable evidence,” she said. Chan will hold a confer- ence call with governments today to verify some of the reports before making a formal announcement. WHO said the virus has infected 26,563 people in 73 countries and has caused 140 deaths. Creating The Ritz-Carlton.

The Washington Post ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A massive truck bomb exploded outside a lux- ury hotel in northwestern Pakistan's provincial capital Tuesday ni kill- ing 11 people and injuring at least 50, officials said. The attack marked the latest salvo by insurgents who have vowed to avenge an army offensive in the nearby Swat Valley, and it under scored their ability to strike at some of the country’s most heavily forti- fied targets.

The hotel, a local landmark, had been popular among foreigners, including aid workers who have been using it in re- cent weeks as a base for their efforts to assist the more than 2 million Paki- stanis displaced from their homes by the fighting in Swat.

Seventeen more bod- ies were ape from the sea Tuesday, bebe. om the number recove: to 41. Another 187 have yet to be found. The first remains were brought to land by helicopter and will be flown to this coastal city today for identification. ederal police began visiting families in Rio de Janeiro to collect genetic material — hair, blood, a cheek swab — to help identify the corpses. Figuring out where the victims were seated and studying their injuries might help explain what brought down Flight 447 as it flew into thunderstorms on May 31, according to Peter Goelz, a former managing director of the National ‘Transportation Safety Board. With the plane's data recorders still missing, investigators have been focusing on the possibility that external speed moni- tors — called Pitot tubes — iced over and gave false readings to the plane's computers in a thunder storm. A key part of the inves- tigation relies on a burst of 24 automatic messages the plane sent during the last minutes of the flight. The signals showed the plane's autopilot was not on, officials said, but it was not clear if the autopilot had been switched off by Service Experts: A Trusted Name In Heating, Air Conditioning And Indoor Air Quality For More Than 27 Years For well over a quarter of a century, South Florida homeowners have relied on Service Experts to deliver quality service at 8 very fair price for all of their home comfort needs.

The L-shaped metal Pitot tubes jut from the wing or fuselage of a plane and are usually heated to prevent: icing. The pres- sure of air entering the tubes lets internal sensors measure the speed and angle of flight. A malfunc- tioning tube could mislead computers controlling the plane, causing it to dangerously accelerate or decelerate. Air France said it began replacing the tubes on its A330 and A340 jets in May after pilots reported several incidents of i icing leading to a loss of air speed data and that it had already replaced the Pitots in smaller A320 jets after similar problems were reported. “What we know is that other planes that have experienced incorrect airspeed indications have had the same Pitots. And airplanes with the new Pitot tubes have never had such problems,” said Air France pilot Eric Derivry, a spokesman for the SNPL pilots union. While no cause has been established for the disaster, Derivry said the Pitot failures create “a web of presumptions, but only presumptions.” The monitors had not yet been replaced on the A330 that was destroyed May 31 during the flight from from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. one room, you'll save on the second.

* 4m THE PALM BEACH POST > EPSTEIN from 1A such as protecting a trade secret or a compelling gov- ernment interest. Yet no _ notification or reason occurred in Epstein’s case, according to court records. Epstein’s own attorneys, in federal filings, have referred to his confiden tial deferred prosecution agreement with the . attorney's office, struck in September 2007, as “un- precedented” and “highly unusual.” And it was “a significant inducement” sin to accept the state's deal, observed the state judge who accepted his plea, County Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo. Epstein now faces at least a dozen civil lawsuits in federal and state courts filed by young women who said they had sex with him and now are seeking damages. Attorneys for some of those women want his agreement with federal prosecutors unsealed and will ask Circuit Judge Jef- frey Colbath to do so today. “It is against public policy for these documents to be have been sealed and hidden from public scrutiny. As a member of the public, EW. has a right to have these documents unsealed,” © WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009 Public has right to know details of deal, Post attorney will claim practice and representing one of the women. The Palm Beach Post also will ask Colbath to unseal the agreement. Post attor- ney Deanna Shullman will argue that the public has a right to know the specifics of Epstein’s deal. According to various media accounts, Epstein moved in circles that in- cluded President Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew. “International Moneyman of Mystery,” de- clared a 2002 New York mag- azine profile of Epstein. Epstein, 56, is in the Palm Beach County Stock- ade, serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty nearly a year ago to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. He is allowed out from 7 am. to 11 p.m., escorted by a deputy, said Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera. During a Palm Beach Police Department in- vestigation, five victims and 17 witnesses gave statements. They told of young women brought by his assistants to Epstein’ mansion on El Brillo Way for massages and sexual activity, and then being paid afterward. At Epstein’s plea confer- ence last year, his attorney, torney Lanna Belohlavek approached Pucillo in a sidebar conference. Pucillo, who had left the bench nine years earlier, was filling in temporarily as a senior judge. According to atranscript, Goldberger told Pucillo that Epstein had entered a con- fidential agreement with the US. attorney's office in which federal prosecu- tors brokered not pursuing charges against him if he pleaded guilty in state court. Pucillo then said she wanted a sealed copy of the agreement filed in his case, and Goldberger concurred that he wanted it sealed. Belohlavek later signed off on it. The Florida Supreme Court has expressed “seri- ous concern” and launched an all-out inquiry into seal- ing procedures across the state following media re- ports in 2006 of entire cases being sealed and disappear ing from court records. “The publics constitu- tional right of access to court records must remain invio- late, and this court is fully committed to safeguarding this right,” justices wrote in their final report. Epsteins office on Tuesday referred any questions to Goldberger, who declined to comment. Pucillo also has declined wrote former Circuit Judge Jack Bill Berger, now in private Goldberger, then-Assistant State At- | sd and to comment. ALLEN EYESTONE/Statt Photographer Alex Hewko's widow, Barbara, is comforted by her four sons — Bob (from left), Eric, Alex Jr. and Jon and Alex's brother Wass (second from left) at the funeral Tuesday at the South Florida National Cemetery west of Lantana. Mr. Hewko and his wife were part-time Jupiter residents. When war ended, all 5 brothers returned to native Pennsylvania B® MR. HEWKO from 1A enlist. He saw the most combat. He rose to the highest rank of the brothers. “He was like our dad,” said Wass Hewko, 85, one of two surviving broth- ers. “He worked in a bakery. He cut people's hair to earn money. We all _ looked up to him.” The other surviving brother, holm 86, is ill and was unable to attend Tuesday's ceremonies, which included services at Oceanview United Methodist Church in Juno Beach. Alex Hewko was a pilot in the South Pacific, where he was awarded the Pur- ple Heart and Bronze Star for flying mis sions over New Guinea. Another brother, Peter, was a Marine and was injured in a near-fatal bus accident in California. Ben served on the USS Corry off Normandy. The youngest, John, was serving aboard a troop carrier in London when it was hit by a German V-1 buzz bomb. He survived. Wass served as a cook aboard a Navy troop Carrier. When the war ended in the summer of 1945, all five brothers returned to Northampton Alex and Barbara met at a Christmas party and married five years later. “He was a hunk,” said Barbara, her eyes shining. “What a dapper dresser. And such a dancer. He was so full of life.” The couple bought a home in Pennsyl- vania and had four sons. Three played on football scholarships at the University of Florida. “Dad wouldn't admit it, but he could throw a better pass than any of the coaches,” said son Bob Hewko, 49, speaking during a cheerful video of his father’s life at the church ceremony. After the war, Mr. Hewko worked for 25 years in the Navy's aviation supply office in Philadelphia as the program di-* rector of the Navy P-3 Orion aircraft, and in the private sector for several aeronau- tics and space-related corporations. He played for two years as a catcher in the St. Louis Cardinals’ minor league system and played football as a running back as part of an on-base military team in Jacksonville during World War IL Like most servicemen from his gen- eration, Mr. Hewko said little about his military service. The Hewkos kept their home in Willow Grove, Pa., and seven years ago bought a second home in Jupi- ter. Mr. Hewko died on May 28 Since his death, his sons have learned that their father worked with the CIA and played a role in secret missions in Vietnam and Korea. Those military contacts allowed his sons to win the OK for Tuesday’s flyover of a P-3 Orion during the military cer- emony. An assistant to US. Navy Secre- tary Ray Mabus called Mr. Hewko's son Jon on Monday and said the plane would pass 300 feet above their father’s grave in a salute at precisely 1:25 p.m. “I get chills walking through here,” said Bob, stepping gingerly between the white tombstones at the cemetery, which in 50 years is expected to have about 200,000 graves. “It's so honorable.

Senator questions whether transfer complies with law D> DETAINEE from 1A Asked by the judge how he wished to plead, Ghai- lani answered in English, “Not guilty.” Ghailani faces mul- tiple charges and, if convicted, could face the death penalty for his role in the bombing of US. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, which killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. “Ahmed Ghailani_ is being held accountable for his alleged role in the bombing of US. Embas- sies in Tanzania and Ke- nya and the murder of 224 people,” Attorney Gen eral Eric Holder said ‘in a statement. “The Justice Department has a long history of securely detain- ing and successfully pros- ecuting terror suspects through the criminal jus- tice system, and we will bring that experience to bear in see! king justice in this c Ghailani was indicted in New York before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, captured three years later and held in a secret CIA prison overseas before be- ing placed in Guantanamo in 2006. Four of his named co-conspirators have been tried and convicted and are serving life sentences in a supermaximum se- curity prison in Colorado. The decision to move Ghailani to the United States lays down an im- portant marker for the Obama administration, which wants to shut the military prison but has faced congressional resis- tance to the transfer of any Guantanamo inmates into the US. for resettle- ment, trial or further detention. It drew immediate criti- cism from Republicans. “The administration has made the decision to begin transferring these terrorists to the United States, in spite of the over- whelming opposition of the American people and serious questions from members of Congress of both parties,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. A conference commit- tee, made up of Senate and House members of the defense appropriations subcommittees, has been considering language that would restrict the admin- istration’s ability to move detainees out of Guanta- namo without a compre- hensive plan for where to place them. Lawmakers also want assurances that bringing detainees into the US. presents no risk to national security. Noting a bill, passed 90- 6 last month, that banned the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo to US. prisons, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the president was ignoring the “clear desire, of Congress and the American people.” McConnell also. ques- tioned whether Obama has the authority to move Ghailani under current law. He declined to say whether Congress would consider further action to stop the administration from bringing other de- tainees here for trial. But Senate Major- ity Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill, strongly defended Obama's decision, noting that the US. already has many accused terrorists in its prisons. In a speech last month, Obama signaled that Ghailani’s transfer was imminent and that “after over a decade, it is time to finally see that justice is served.” The decision to transfer him followed iew of his case by a Department-led task force examining the cases of all 238 detainees who remain at Guanta- namo. Federal —_ prosecutors allege that Ghailani ob- tained bomb materials, scouted the embassy in + the Tanzanian capital and escorted an Egyptian sui- cide bomber from Kenya to Dar es Salaam in ad- vance of the nearly simul- taneous blasts in Kenya and Tanzania. The bomb- ing in Tanzania killed 11, all Africans, and 213 were killed in the attack on the embassy in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital.

Creigh Deeds won Virginia's three-way Democratic primary for governor Tuesday with shocking ease, defeating a former Clinton White House insider and a for- mer legislative colleague. The victory sets up a Deeds rematch with Re publican Bob McDonnell, who beat him in the 2005 attorney general election by 323 votes out of nearly 2 million cast Deeds had about half the vote with nearly all precincts reporting. His foes, former Democratic National Committee chair- man Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran, had about a quarter of the vote each. Fla. graduation rate fifth-lowest in U.S. TAMPA — Florida’ high school graduation rate is among the lowest in the nation, though progress is being made in several districts, including St. Lu- cie County, according to a study released Tuesday. The annual “Diplomas Count” report by the non- profit Editorial Projects in Education determined that 57.5 percent of Florida students completed high school on time with a* regular diploma in 2006, compared to 69.2 percent nationwide. That was slightly lower than the 2005 graduation rate of 60.8 percent and the fifth- lowest nationwide.

Quote of the day The Associated Press NEW YORK — Charita- ble giving by Americans fell by 2 percent in 2008 as the recession took root, only the second year-to- year decline in more than a half-century, according to an authoritative annual survey released today. Particularly hard hit were social-service chari- ti which suffered a 12.7 percent drop in dona- tions at a tithe when most of them were reporting increased demand for their services. The last previous over- all drop in giving was in 1987, the year of the record-shattering Black Monday stock market collapse. The Giving USA Foun- dation, which has con- ducted the survey since 1956, expressed relief that the 2008 decrease was not worse, given that many Americans lost more than 2 percent of their wealth during the year. However, the underscored the daunt- ing vircumstances fa ing America’s nonprofi many of which have been forced to lay off staff and cut programs because of declining revenue. According to the re- port, total giving in 2008 was $307.65 billion, down from a record $314.07 billion in 2007. Two- thirds of public charities experienced decreases — among the few sectors to improve were religious and international affairs organizations.

CBS will also pay Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants, a smaller licensing fee than it is getting now, con- sistent with its efforts to cut program- ming costs across the board with the downturn in television advertising. It's not immediately clear what that would mean for Letterman's paycheck, which has been reported in the range of $30 million to $35 million.

By CHARLES PASSY Paim Beach Post Staff Writer For all the financial woes local restaurants are fac- ing, food supplier Greg Bates believes there is hope. And it comes in the form of a duck wing. “They're taking off in sports bars,” said Bates, of Keylmpact Sales, one of an estimated 400 vendors pushing their products at a restaurant trade show Tues- day at the South Florida Fair's Americraft Expo Center. The annual event, organized by Cheney Brothers Inc., a Riviera Beach-based food distributor, is all about giving restaurateurs a way to hook custom- ers. And when many are struggling to stay afloat, especially during the off-season, it’s a message they wanted to hear: Attendance soared to an estimated 5,000 restaurant owners, country club managers and other food-service professionals, a 20 percent increase over the previous year. “They're looking for new products, or innovative ways to use old products,” said Kinna Denowitz, a marketing director for Cheney. The 84-year-old company, which has produced the restaurant “buyer's show” for nearly two decades, serves as the year-round local sales representative for companies and brands at Tuesday's event. But it's one thing for a chef to read about a product in a sales brochure; it’s another to taste a Cuban spring roll (think a Cuban sandwich in the form of an egg roll) or a “crisscut” sweet potato fry. Nicolle Baker of ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston (“North America’s premier supplier of frozen potato, appetizer and vegetable products”) was hawking the ies, saying the whole sweet-potato-fries category fries, was attracting interest. “They have that better-foryou appeal, even though they're not necessarily better for you,” she said. But will any one menu item keep a restaurant in business? It's not so much about q single item as about stay- ing on top of trends, said beverage vice president at The Breakers in Palm Beach. The smart restaurateurs — and the ones most likely to survive — are always looking for the next big thing, he said. “Ten years ago, it was espresso. Five years ago, it 1. Of course, there's a whole behind-the-scenés aspect fs to the restaurant biz. Which is why for every company hawking such would-be culinary classic “logs” and pretzel rolls, there were ones pushing such none-too-sexy staples as floor mats and dish-washing was olive oil,” Walters detergent. And in a center-of-the-floor showcase, Cheney Brothers reps were promoting a $15,000 dishwasher with four wash cycles. Even during tough times, restaurateurs and other food-service professionals must value clean plates. When asked how the dishwashers were doing, Cheney exec Ron Hall pointed to the floor model of the $15,000 machine. “It was just sold to a country club,” he said. @ charies_passy@pbpost.com jobs extra $7 Qa / ‘vor’ $599 $599 $599 $750 From ALL MODELS & ALL BRAND NAME HEARING AIDS FOR LESS! “Wearing Aids For Tooay Eaucated Consumer” loca « Boynton + Jensen Beach » Pompano * West FORECLOSURE DEFENSE MortGace Moir ications | FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION | Many people are not aware that in today's difficult economic limes you have many alternatives.

David Brooks Cautious at heart Sonia Sotomayor had bad timing If shed entered col lege in the late-1950s or early-1960s, she would have been surrounded by an ethos that encour aged smart young ethnic kids to as- similate. If she'd en tered Princeton and Yale in the 1980s, her ethnicity and gender would have been mildly interesting traits among the many she might possess. But she happened to attend Princeton and then Yale Law School in the 1970s. These were the days when what we now call multiculturalism was just coming into its own. These were the days when the whole race, class and gender aca- demic-industrial complex seemed fresh, exciting and just. There was no way she was going to get out of that unscarred. And, in fact, in the years since she has given a series of speeches that have made her a poster child for identity politics. In these speech- es, race and gender take center stage. It's not only the one comment about a wise La- tina making better decisions than a white male; it’s the whole litany. If you read just these speeches you might come away with the impression that she was a racial activ- ist who is just using the judicial system as a vehicle for her social crusade. And yet her history and conversations with her colleagues suggest this is not the main story. If you look at the whole record, you come away with the impression that Judge Sotomayor is a hardworking, care- fulthough-unspectacular jurist whose primary commitment is to the law. When she left Yale, she didn't take the route designed to reinforce her ideologi- cal dispositions. She became a prosecutor with District Attorney Robert Morgenthau in Manhattan. She told The New York Times in 1983 that in making this decision, she faced “a tremendous amount of pressure from my community, from the third-world community at Yale. They could not under- stand why I was taking this job.” In the years since, she has not followed the easy course. More than any current member of the Supreme Court, she worked her way up through the furnace levels of the legal system. And when she reached a position of authority, she did not turn her self into an Al Sharpton in robes. She is quite liberal. But there's little evidence that she is motivated by racial- ist thinking or an activist attitude. Tom Goldstein of Scotusblog conducted a much-cited study of the 96 race-related cases that have come before her Like almost all judges, she has rejected a vast majority of the claims of racial discrimination that came to her She dissented from her colleagues in only four of those cases. And in only one did she find racial dis- crimination where they did not. Even with what she calls her “Latina soul,” she saw almost every case pretty much as they did. When you read her opinions, race and gender are invisible. I'm obviously not qualified to judge the legal quality of her opinions. But when you read the docu- ments merely as examples of persuasive writing, you find that they are almost en- tirely impersonal and deracinated. To my eye, Judge Sotomayor’s opinions are the products of a clear and honest if unimaginative mind. She sticks close to precedent and the details of a case. There's no personal flavor (in the boring parts one wishes there were). There's no evidence of agrand ideological style or even much intel- lectual ambition. If you had to pick a word to describe them, it would be “restraint.” Looked at in her totality, Judge Soto- mayor seems to be a smart, careful, hard- working judicial professional, who along the way picked up a patina of 1970s race-, class- and gender-consciousness. Its interesting to compare Judge Sotomayors thinking with Barack Obama’. On the grand matters of race in America, they are quite different. Judge Sotomayor has given a series of speeches arguing that it is not possible or even de- sirable to transcend our racial or gender sympathies and prejudices. During the presidential campaign, then-Sen. Obama gave a speech in Philadelphia arguing for precisely that, calling on America to move beyond the old categories and arguments. Judge Sotomayor sometimes draws a straight line between ethnicity, gender and behavior. President Obama emphasiz- es our multiple identities and the complex blend of influences on an individual life. Yet in practice, they do have a lot in common. In practice, Judge Sotomayor is a liberal incrementalist. Her careful opin- ions embody the sort of judicial minimal- ism that President Obama and his aide Cass Sunstein admire most. In short, Judge Sotomayor’s career surpasses the crude categories she some- times articulates. Despite the ideas she picked up while young, she has, over many years, chosen to submit herself to the dis- cipline of the law, and she has not abused its institutions. I hope she's confirmed.

A professor of mine who closely followed news about Bernard Madoff had no idea about his religious back- ground. As it turned out, she was hospitalized when Madoff’s Jewish affiliation, and the disproportionate number of his Jewish inves- tors made news, And after her release, it never mea- sured on her radar. Another professor expressed sur- prise to learn that Jews may be sensitive to Madoff's religious background. Neither professor is Jewish. That's the point. Cognitive psychology in- structs us that information important to us is kept in the forefront of our minds. Perhaps the professors didn't associate Madoff and Jewish because Judaism does not place their radars on high alert. As a PhD. student studying Madoff, 1 have spent much time thinking about how people of various religious back- grounds react to Madoff’s Jewish identity. People with a Jewish identity (of which I'm one) seem to have reached a consensus that Madoff’s Jewish background may fuel anti-Semitism. But we also tend to assume that non-Jews will think less of us simply because Madoff shares our reli gious customs. In Febru- ary, Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, wrote in The Post that the Madoff story prompted “an outpouring of anti-Semitic comments on mainstream and extremist Web sites.” His statement leads me to aPefieve that anti-Jewish ex and perhaps increased, thanks to Madoff and the Internet's anonymity. However, a survey I conducted in March as part of my research contradicts that statement. The anony- mous, online survey was completed by 178 individu- als from across the US. It was sent to Jewish e-mail lists and a Christian semi- nary in Boston, and Chris- tian e-mail lists in New York. It also was posted on the Web site of the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles. Jewish respondents gen- erally agreed that “Madoff gives Jews a bad name,” with the Jewish average resting at “I feel this way often.” Non-Jews, however, had a different response. Whether one identified as Protestant, Catholic, Christian or having no religious . affiliation, the average response was the same: It fell smack in the middle of “I feel this way rarely” and “I never feel this way.” So much for non- Jewish respondents think- ing that Madoff is a dark smudge on all Jews. Generally, Protestants, Catholics, Christians and those without religious affil- jation did not find Madoff's religion to be relevant. In- stead, his religious identity was more important to Jew- ish respondents; 59 percent have thought at some point that they would feel better if Madoff were Protestant, Muslim, Catholic or Hindu. Regardless of these dif- ferences, my survey also finds a similarity between the groups. All religious groups agreed that the media focus on Madoff's Jewish beckground. was Therefore, they saw media coverage of this fact as rel- evant to the story, even if Madoff's specific religion was irrelevant to them. While I cannot gen- eralize, the findings still offer insight. Jews may be, surprised to learn that non- Jewish respondents have expressed coo-headed opinions about Madoff's religious background, not anti-Semitic ramblings. Non-Jews may be surprised to learn how sensitive Jewish respondents are to Madoff’s religion, and the extent to which Jewish re- spondents worry about how non-Jews think about them. Not surprisingly, Madoffs religion is a source of shame for many Jews.

+ THE PALM BEACH POST ° 58 Water district won't raise tax rate | S23e%.cse THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2009 Managers hope that property values don't fall as far as expected. By PAUL QUINLAN Palm Beach Post Staff Writer The South Florida Wa- ter Management District will not hike its property tax rate despite plans to finance the state's prici- ést-ever conservation land purchase amid a_ historic plunge in real estate values, leaders said Wednesday. The agency expects revenues to drop about $340 million this year, in part because property val- ues across the district's 16 counties in South and Cen- tral Florida are anticipated to plunge 12.3 percent, water managers said. The district is planning a$L.5 billion budget for the 2010 spending year, which begins Oct. 1. The agency's tax rate is 624 cents for each $1,000 of taxable value. At that rate, the owner of a $250,000 home with a $50,000 homestead exemp- tion would pay $124.80 to the district. Wednesday's _ discus- sion came as the district prepares to finance Gov. Charlie’ Crist’s monumen- tal Everglades restoration plan: a $536 million pur- chase of 73,000 acres of US. Sugar Corp. farmland. The concept calls for eventually building a chain of reservoirs and marshes that could re-cre- ate the historic flowing connection between Lake Okeechobee and the Ey- erglades. The land deal alone will saddle the district with $45.7 million in an- nual debt payments over the next 30 years, Budget “Director Doug Bergstrom told the district's board at a meeting in Naples. Water managers main- tain that the deal with US. Sugar — downsized twice from Crist’s original plan to buy out the company for $1.75 billion — would not impair the district's ability to perform its core duties of flood control and water supply management. The one silver lining to this year’s dire budget season: Water manag- ers are optimistic that | district-wide property values actually may drop less than 12.3 percent as June estimates tend to be overly conservative, Berg- strom said. The board will meet in July to review the pro- posed budget before hold- ing two public hearings in September. The district also must submit the bud- get to Crist, who has the power to veto it. @paul_quinian@pdpost.com Copter to By BILL DIPAOLO Palm Beach Post Staff Writer If you're an adult mos- quito, Friday night would be a good time to bug out of western Palm Beach County. A Huey helicopter is scheduled to spray Di- brom, a chemical that bumps off the irritating insects by disrupting their nervous systems. Spraying will start at sundown and is planned for four hours over 215,000 spray west county mosquitoes acres west of Military Trail in south county, the Glades, Wellington, Jupiter Farms, Palm Beach Coun- try Estates, Caloosa, Loxa- hatchee, The Acreage and Royal Palm Beach. “The mosquitoes are really annoying people,” said Gary Goode, environ- mental analyst with the Palm Beach County mos- quito control division. The spraying is neces- sary because: of recent rains, Goode said. The 15.7 inches of precipitation + recorded in made May the second wettest month since 1890, when 16.2 inches fell at Palm Beach International Airport. This year’s heavy rains followed one of the driest Novemberto-May dry seasons on record, according to the National Weather Service. If South Florida has steady precipitation, the rains will wash away the eggs that the insects lay on the ground. But if rains are heavy for two weeks , then drop off for the next two weeks, the eggs will have time and a place to hatch, Goode said. Rubbing out nuisance mosquitoes — females can lay 200 eggs every time they bite — is the goal of Friday night's spraying. So far, the county has had no reports of disease- carrying mosquitoes, Goode said. @bill_dipaolo@pdpost.com Above-average depths in much of Everglades D> WATER from 1B executive director of water resources, during a board meeting in Naples. “This has been a soaking rain from the top of the system to the bottom.” Water now has reached above-average depths in vast swaths of the Ever glades that had run dry.

Formerly Jupiter Care Center, the 120-bed private facility on Thelma Road was taken over June 1 by the new owners, based in North Palm Beach. They have hired about 30 of nearly 135 former employ- ees of Jupiter Care Center, many of whom had worked at the facility for about 20 years and made about $12 per hour, said SEIU orga- nizer Ucha Ndukwe. About 90 percent of the former workers are union members. “We want the rest of the employees to get their jobs back. The new company did not hire them because they are trying to get rid of the union,” Ndukwe said. Deb Peck, spokeswom- an for Courtyard Gardens, declined to comment on specific charges. The company also owns Courtyard Gardens As- sisted Living facility on Indian Creek Parkway. Courtyard Gardens has reduced the workforce to about 70 full- and part-time employees. The facility, which re- quired about 135 emp! at capacity, now has 70 patients, Peck said. Most of them, both adults and children, are long-term and on Medicaid, she said. SEIU represents about 16,000 health-care workers in Florida and the South- eastern United States. @bill_dipacio@pbpost.com Palm Beach County com 13 percent for residents set for Aug. 19.

Meanwhile, Commis- sioner Burt Aaronson said he is concerned about the amount of debt the authority is carrying, and questioned whether commissioners should continue to seek an alter- native location for a new landfill. In 2007, the authority scrapped plans to build the new landfill on 1,600 acres it owns next to the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee _ National Wildlife Refuge. Environ- concern mentalists argued that the landfill would dam- age wildlife and water quality in the refuge, the northernmost remnant of the Everglades. Commissioners are evaluating two new sites. But Aaronson said the plan would cost the county $70 million. “It is a very difficult thing for me knowing full well that we have this piece of property,” Aaron- son said. He added: “We should take advantage of anything that doesn't cost us money.” @ jennifer_sorentrue@pbpost.com HEADACHE RESEARCH Premiere & 561.845.0500 x 21 Research Institute At Palm Beach Neurology Call For Information Under The Direction of: BANKRUPTCY * Save Your Home! * Stop The Calls! | * Eliminate Debt! 561. 622.0347 | FREE IMMEDIATE CONSULTATION Low Fees, Easy Payment Plan Attorney Gregg R.

Xx THE PALM BEACH POST ° MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2009 3A White House warms to co-op plan as health option A compromise would “expand coverage but with no direct control. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — With Republicans fighting the idea of a government-run health insurance plan, Obama administration Officials said Sunday that they are open to a compro- mise: a cooperative pro- gram that would expand coverage with taxpayer money but without direct governmental control. =~ 908 begins work this we K on putting si dent Obamas goal of uni- versal health coverage into law. But some lawmakers are expected to introduce specific plans that run counter to Obama's political promises. The concessions could be the smoothest way to deliver the bipartisan health-care legislation that the administration seeks by its self-imposed August deadline, officials said. “There is no one-size- fits-all idea,” said Health and Human Services Sec- retary Kathleen Sebelius. “The president has. said, ‘These are the kinds of goals I'm after: lowering costs, covering all Ameri- cans, higher-quality care.’ And around those goals, there are lots of ways to get there.” Some of those ways, though, run counter to the White House's earlier posi- tions and those of Obama's political base. While supporters from his left have advocated a government-run option — championed by an ailing Sen. Edward Kennedy, D- Mass., and his surrogate, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn. — presidential aides and congressional leaders in both parties have sought a speedy compromise. Leading that pack: the cooperative approach, similar to rural utilities that have government financial support but op- erate independently. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., who chairs the Budget Com- mittee, has offered the co- op idea as a way to avoid a bruising and protracted political wrangle on Capi- tol Hill. “This really isn't, to me, amatter of right or wrong,” Conrad said. “This is a Ahmadinejad calls the protesters ‘weeds that are making problems.’ The Washington Post TEHRAN — A defiant Mir Hossein Mousavi, leading an opposi- tig@n movement against President Mahmoud Ah- madinejad, called on his supporters Sunday to con- {inue protests agdinst the outcome of the election in which Ahmadinejad was proclaimed the landslide winner. Mousavi asked the influential Guardian Coun- cil to declare the elections void because of fraud and irregularities. Riots erupted for a sec- ond day, with gunshots heard in several locations in Tehran and unrest in the Caspian Sea city of Rasht and the central Iranian city of Shiraz, witnesses said in phone interviews. A large rally is planned by Mousavi sup- porters for this afternoon in Tehran. On Sunday, Ah- madinejad led a_ vic tory rally near Vali-e Asr BEN CURTIS/The Associated Press Supporters of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad react as he speaks at a rally in Tehran on Sunday. Tens of thousands attended waving the nation’s flag, the symbol of his campaign. square attended by tens of thousands of people wav- ing Iranian flags, which his campaign adopted as its symbol. At an earlier news conference he de- clared the Iranian elec- tions a “true manifestation of people's right to decide their own destiny.” “Some ... say the vote is disrupted, there has been a fraud,” he said at the rally. “Where’are the irregularities in the elec- tion?” Young members of Iran's voluntary paramili- tary force, the baseej, car- ried batons as they roamed the streets in groups on motorcycles, many wear- ing black helmets and green vests. Ahmadinejad said the demonstrators were “a few weeds that are making problems.” To cheers, he said there would be no more place for them in Iran. In asking the Guardian Council to nullify the elec- tions, Mousavi wrote on his Web site, “I believe this to be the only way to return the general trust and sup- port of the people for the government.” The site is now blocked in Iran. The council is a 12- member commission that must validate the elections before an official winner can be declared. Council members are appointed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, and the head of the judiciary. The council vets candi dates and has the power to veto laws deemed inconsis- tent with Islam. It has not yet acted, although state media have already pronounced Ahmadinejad the victor. Mousavi complained to the council about interfer- ence from security forces and the use of irregular procedures in the elec- tion. “Those who with great violations have issued re- sults unbelievable for the Iranian nation, are now trying to stabilize those re- sults and start a new era in the history of our nation,” Mousavi’ statement said. He added that the protests were not about him, “They are because of worries over the new method of po- litical life which is being forced onto our country,” he wrote. matter of: Where are the votes in the United States Senate?” That political situation has guided most of the talks. While Democrats control both chambers of Congress, they have only 59 senators — one short of the number needed to end a Republican filibuster. Even if Al Franken were seated as Minnesota's sec- ond senator, Kennedy and Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W-Va., are suffering health prob- lems that could preclude them from casting votes to end the procedural delay. To offset the numeric challenge, Conrad pro- posed a compromise that drew interest from moderate Republicans, including one who helped Obama pass his economic stimulus plan over GOP objection. “It's far preferable to the government-run plan that has been discussed by the administration,” said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. “We need to better under- stand how it would work. But itS certainly better than a Washington-run plan.” « Palm Beach " alm Beach Palm Beach Gardens Wellingtor Boynton Beach a [Heat The Difference SSE i rs $1,000 OFF:.

And while you may take steps to protect yourself against identity theft, an Associated Press investi- gation has found the banks and other companies that handle your information are not being nearly as cautious as they could. The government leaves it to card companies to design security rules that protect the nation’s 50 bil- lion annual transactions. Yet an examination of those industry require- ments explains why so many breaches occur: The rules are cursory at best and all but meaning- less at worst, according to the AP's analysis of data breaches dating to 2005. It means every time you pay with plastic, companies are gambling with your personal data. If hackers intercept your numbers, you'll spend weeks straightening your 2009 Associated Press file photo Pamela LaMotte holds disputed credit card bills from accounts hackers tapped into. mangled credit, though you can't be held liable for unauthorized charges. Even if your transaction isn't hacked, you still lose: Merchants pass to all their customers the costs they incur from fraud. More than 70 retailers and payment processors have disclosed breaches since 2006, involving tens of millions of credit and debit card numbers, according to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. Meanwhile, many others likely have been breached and didn't detect it. Even the companies that had the payment industry's top rating for computer security, a seal of approval known as PCI compliance, have fallen victim to huge heists. Companies that are not compliant with the PCI standards — including one in 10 of the medium- size and large retailers in the United States — face fines but are left free to process credit and debit card payments. Most retailers don't have to endure security audits, but can evaluate themselves. \ GET CASH AST / Credit card providers don't appear to be in a rush to tighten the rules. They see fraud as a cost of doing business and say stricter throw sand into the gears of the payment system, which is built on speed, convenience and low cost. That is of little consola- tion to consumers who bet on the industry's payment security and lost. It took four months for Pamela LaMotte, 46, of Colchester, Vt, to fix the damage after hackers tapped two of her credit card accounts in a breach traced to a Hannaford Bros. grocery store. LaMotte, who was unemployed at the time, says she had to borrow money from her mother and boyfriend to pay $500 in overdraft and late fees — which eventually were refunded — while the banks investigated. “It screwed me up in a major way,” she said.

UK. reports Ist swine flu death Scotland emphasizes ‘that the risk to the saan public remains low.’ The Associated Press LONDON — A person with underlying health conditions died of swine flu in Scotland on Sunday — the first reported death from the illness outside the Ameri- cas, health officials said. Britain has been harder hit by the vi- rus — known as HIN1— than elsewhere in Europe. Earlier Sunday, Britain had reported another 61 cases of swine flu, bringing the UK. total to 1,226 cases. “Tragic though today’s death is, I would like to emphasize that the vast majority of those who have H1N1 are suf- fering from relatively mild symptoms,” Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Stur- geon said. “I would reiterate that the risk to the general public remains low. and we can all play our gart in slowing the spread of the virus by following simple hygiene procedures.” Health authorities expect to see more swine flu cases and deaths worldwide not that it has been declared a pandemic. The World Health Organization said last week that the virus has not become any more lethal, but is now unstoppable. So far, swine flu appears to be a rela- tively mild virus, and most people who get it do not need treatment to get better. Bhima callie.

The team then goes into a vault where it stockpiles cadaver skin from organ donors. That skin is used to cover wounds, but only temporarily. “Eventually the body will reject skin from any- one else, and we need to harvest skin from the victim in order to do the graft,” Namias said. Burn surgeons cannot use skin from other peo- ple for final grafts because they cannot employ the immune system suppres- sion drugs used in other transplants, Namias said. Burn victims are so sus- ceptible to infection that their immune systems cannot be interdicted While waiting for a graft, the patient must be stabilized, which is extremely tricky.

If they could eat Whoppers, that would be easy, but many are so sedated, they can't eat, so we put it into them through IVs, and that’s a lot of calories to pump into a body that way.” Fluids are also an issue. “Your average appendix patient will get about 3 li- ters per day,” Namias said. “A major burn patient will need as much as 30 to 35 liters per day.” Physical stability isn't the only issue. The psy- chology of burn patients begins with the shock and pain of the fire and pos- sible deformities. “But these incidents are also typically associated with some other tragedy,” stress syndrome, he said. Meanwhile, the graft- ing goes on. “We can save people with burns over 90 percent of their bodies,” Namias said. “We harvest skin from the victim, and we have machines that expand the skin as much as six times, create a mesh from it, and then it grows in.” Some patients need*“10, 20, 30 operations” for both functional and cosmetic reasons, he said. And there is always the pain, which is managed so that as much as pos- sible patients remain alert, walking and in physical therapy. Dickford Cohn, 64, of Key West was admitted to the Burn Center on May 16 with second-degree burns over almost half ‘of his body after a house fire. “Il certainly expected a great deal more pain,” he said. “The first thing they do -is manage the pain without doping you all up.” Cohn said that has made his recovery much quicker. Originally expect- ing three months in the hospital, he believes it will be closer to a month. The Burn Center also gives ‘courses in how to prevent burns. Children removing hot soup from microwaves is a new source of serious injury, Namias said. But the traditional causes still provide him with most of his cases — smoking in bed, roofers pouring hot tar, and espe- cially people frying food. “Homemade french fries,” he said, wincing. “My recommendation is if you want french fries, go to McDonalds.” @ john_lantigua@pbpost.com PALM BEACH COUNTY THRIFT STORE 16 Years of Service in the Viewing and Bidding 8:00am - 11:00am "Sty Wi 2:00pm Vehicles will be started once at approximately 9-00am Bids will be awarded in lot number order immediately . ahter close of the bidding Visit our www. pbc Website at com Go to Site Map, Click on County Surplus/ Thrift Store for information on On-Road & Off-Road Vehicles, Specialty Equipment, Jewelry, Computers, Electronics, and Many (9) Chevy/Dodge/Ford Pickups, (1) Chevy Malibu, (4) Chevy Blazers, (1) Chevy Trailblazer, 1) Ford Taurus, (1) GMC Cage Trucks, (1) Ford Cargo Van Truck, (1) Lot Restaurant EQ, ( 1) Lot Medical/Dental BQ, (1) er Items (6) Dodge/Ford/GMC Utility 1) Lot Auto Parts Cleaning EQ, Min Bike-Gas, (1) Motorized Go-Ped Rec Games & Eqpt Many Wooden Pallets oe All items will be sold “AS-IS/WHERE-IS*) _ Retail Merchandise ~ Ist Come, Ist Served PALM BEACH COUNTY THRIFT STORE SE 5323 Belvedere Road, Building $07, West Palm Beach From vedere Road go West to Stk ptt after Congress s | 8300 Currency Drive, West Palm Beach 1673 SE.

* 40a - Circuit’ THE PALM BEACH POST = > COURTS from 1A ‘ee That circuit has begun requiring borrowers and lenders to meet before their first court appear ances, leading to many cases being settled Meanwhile, Palm Beach County Circuit Court last week launched a pilot pro- gram to help homeowners ‘understand options that could keep them in their houses. But action from Tal lahassee has been lim- ited, even with nearly 11 percent of mortgages in Florida in foreclosure — the highest rate in the country, according to the Mortgage Bankers As- sociation. Foreclosures in Florida dropped from April to May but were still up 50 percent from the same time last year, according to numbers RealtyTrac released Thursday. During the spring ses- sion that ended last ménth, state lawmakers _intro- duced 15 bills to address foreclosure issues. But 10 bills never received a hear- ing, including several that would have required medi- ation between lenders and borrowers. The Center for Responsible Lending es- timates that one of every three homeowners facing foreclosure in Florida could stay in their homes with mediation. Instead, lawmakers approved just two foreclo- sure-telated bills: one to comply with new mini- mum federal regulations for lenders and another to increase court costs * Birkis + Grasshoppers + Soft Spots - New Balance + Daniel Green for foreclosure cases from $300 to as much as $1,900.

To complete the court's survey, click here: www.ficourts.org/gen_public/adr/index.shtmi state Financial Regulation Office’s failure to regu- late mortgage lenders, a problem that allowed thousands of people with criminal records into the industry. The office's chief resigned in August after the problems were first reported by The Miami Herald, but a replacement still has not been hired. Attorney General Bill McCollum, a Republican also running for governor, called the foreclosure cri- sis a “very tough issue” that his office has tried to address by cracking down on fraud. But he said options for helping home- owners are limited. “It is not something you can pump money out to avoid foreclosures,” he said. “We don't have the re- sources to do that. There is no bailout in the state of Florida.” Gov. Charlie Crist noted the rise in foreclosures in his State of the State speeches in 2008 and this year. But he has never included any specific fore- closure-related bills among his legislative priorities. “We want to do all we can to help people,” Crist said when asked about the state’s responsibility to ad- dress foreclosures. “It's a tough time right now.” Crist pushed banks to halt foreclosures during FORECLOSURE DEFENSE ~ SHORT SALE/MORTAGE MODIFICATION PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY Consultations Held at Jupiter, Wellington and Boca Raton Mein Ofice 312 - S Old Dixie Highway © Suite 206 © Jupiter, FL 33458 www.

Crist's press office could not verify whether any banks participated. Crist also named a foreclosure task force in February _ 2008, includ- ing elected officials and people from the banking and real estate industries. But the panel made just one recommendation to the legislature: to increase protections for people with subprime loans. Lawmakers did adopt it. “There is just not an inclination to give the light of day to any of these foreclosure remedies,” said Rep. Darren Soto, D- Orlando, whose “Foreclo- sure Bill of Rights” would have delayed payments for many homeowners. McCollum, who created a Mortgage Fraud Task Force in 2007, said home- owners facing foreclosure not need to be more proactive with their lenders. “In many cases the lender can and will work this out,” said. Several states, includ- ing Ohio and New Jersey, have implemented aggres- sive programs to require mediation between bank- ers and lenders. In Florida, two Leon County circuit judges made a proposal in December to the state's 20 chief judges to create simi- lar mediation programs. Three of the state's 20 judicial circuits have en- listed the nonprofit Collins Center for Public Policy to offer mediation. The first such program arose in the Treasure Coast's 19th Circuit, where borrowers and lenders are required to meet before their first court appear ance. In the past month, 22 of the first 31 mediated foreclosure cases in the circuit were settled with renegotiated loans. In Palm Beach County, Chief Circuit Judge Kath- leen Kroll signed an order to require banks to con- sider revising a loan at the ner's request. The court receives an average of 500 new foreclosures each week. Last week, the courts in Palm Beach County began a service to make The $295.00 Jewelry Makeover!

* 8a” THE PALM BEACH POST US. calls move ‘important step. P ISRAEL from 1A Each will have its own flag, its own national anthem, its own government. Neither will threaten the security or survival of the other.” But Netanyahu insisted on “ironclad” guarantees from the United States and the international commu- nity for Palestinian demili- tarization and recognition of Israel's Jewish character. Given those conditions, Netanyahu said, “we will be ready in a future peace agreement to reach a solu- tion where a demilitarized Palestinian state exists alongside the Jewish state.” He also said that no new settlements would be created and no more land would be expropriated for expansion but that “nor- mal life” must be allowed to continue in the settle- ments, a term he has used to mean that limited build- ing should be allowed to continue within existing settlements to accommo- date “natural growth.” While this position did not diverge from Netanya- hu’s previous statements, he delivered it on Sunday in the context of a speech he had billed as.a major foreign policy address, one he had urged Obama to watch. It came 10 days af- ter Obama bluntly rejected “the legitimacy of contin- ued Israeli settlements” in his Cairo address to the Muslim world. The White House reac- tion was positive, if lim- ited, focusing on what it called “the important step forward” of Netanyahus sul t for a_ two-state solution to the Israeli-Pal- estinian conflict. White House press sec- retary Robert Gibbs reiter- ated Obama's commitment to a two-state solution that “can and must ensure both Israel's security and the fulfillment of the Palestin- ians’ legitimate aspira- tions for a viable state,” and he said that Obama “welcomes Prime Minister Netanyahu _ endorsement of that goal.” In moving closer to- ward the American and international consensus for a two-state solution, Netanyahu risked alienat- ing right-wing ideologues within his party and his governing coalition. Citing the biblical vi- sion of Isaiah of swords beaten into plowshares, Netanyahu said of the Palestinians, “We do not want to rule over them, to govern their lives, or to impose our flag or our culture on them.” But beyond the idea of a state, he seemed to offer little room for compromise or negotiation. He referred repeatedly to the West Bank, the ter- ritory presumed to com- prise the bulk of a future Palestinian state, by its biblical name of Judea and Samaria, declaring it “the land of our forefathers.” Netanyahu made no mention of existing frame- works for negotiations, like the US.-backed 2003 peace plan known as the road map. He did not address the geographical area a Pales- tinian state might cover, and he said that the Pal- estinian refugee problem must be resolved outside Israel's borders, rejecting the Palestinian demand for a right of return for refugees of the 1948 Arab- Israeli War and their mil- lions of descendants. He insisted that Jeru- salem remain united as the , Israeli capital. The Palestinians demand the eastern part of the city as a future capital. “Benjamin Netanyahu about tiations, s nego! but left us with nothing to negotiate as he system- atically took nearly every permanent status issue off the table,” said Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestin- ian negotiator. “Nor did he accept a Palestinian state. Instead, he announced a series of conditions and qualifications that render * \ | © MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2009 a viable, independent and sovereign Palestinian state impossible.” Palestinian negotiators have long refused to rec- ognize Israel as a Jewish B state, contending that it would prejudge the refu- gees’ demand for a right of return and would be detrimental to the status of Israel's Arab minority. Ron Dermer, Netan- yahus communications director, said that Palestin- ians’ recognition of Israel as a Jewish state was “not a precondition” for negotia- tions. But, he said, “there will not be an agreement without that recognition.” Timed to coincide with the Israeli evening televi- sion news, the speech was rich in Zionist rhetoric and seemed aimed as much at the Israeli public as at the Obama _ administration. Experts said it was un- likely to cause a political earthquake here, because it largely expressed the prevailing consensus in ~ Specializing in Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech Sunday at Bar lian University.

A second attorney representing the women, Brad Edwards, has seen the sealed deal after a federal judge allowed him and his clients to view it, but not discuss its contents. Edwards would only say that the women were "outraged" that it had been negotiated behind their backs. A reporter asked Edwards if he believed Epstein received special treatment by federal prosecutors. "Are you kidding? It's transparent. Certainly no one else gets treated like that," Edwards has said.

Jeffrey Epstein to get out of jail early: July 22 Page 2 of 2 As part of his state plea agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office agreed not to prosecute Epstein on federal charges as long as he fulfills all requirements of his sentence and probation.

Fort Lauderdale-based attorney Brad Edwards represents three Epstein victims and has asked Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath to unseal the non-prosecution agreement to the public. A hearing is set for Thursday, when Colbath will issue a ruling. Edwards and his clients have seen the agreement after a federal judge ruled that they are allowed to see it. But that ruling bars Edwards and anyone else who sees the document from disclosing the terms to anyone else. Edwards said he wants to use that document "in the deposition of various material witnesses" relative to his cases.
