TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A man convicted of murdering an Ohio mother and her two daughters after their Disney World vacation 22 years ago is scheduled to be executed Nov. 15 after Gov. Rick Scott signed his death warrant Monday. Oba Chandler, who turned 65 on Tuesday, was convicted of murdering Joan Rogers, 36,
for a week. Authorities then found Rogers car abandoned beside a boat ramp on a causeway that connects Tampa and Pinellas County. Inside they found a brochure on which Chandler wrote directions to the motel. For three years the killings were a mystery until investigators posted Chandlers handwriting in hopes someone would recognize it. One of Chandlers neighbors did See DEATH, page 2

A relative said family members had watched part of the well search on television. A private security consultant said Wednesday that a high-asset family he knows has hired him to investigate the babys disappearance. Bill Stanton, of New York, said he would be working on the case for an undetermined amount of time and that hes hopeful this child is safe and alive. He would not identify who hired him but says it was not the childs family. A spokesman for the babys family said Stanton would be handling media questions, but did not comment on Stantons role, if any, in the investigation.

STATE/LOCAL
COLUMBUS (AP) The number of crashes and the amount of commercial traffic reported along the Ohio Turnpike rose slightly during the first six months of its higher 70 mph speed limit compared with the same period last year, according to data from turnpike officials and the State Highway Patrol. The limit increased in April from 65 mph for the 241-mile toll road that connects the Midwest and the East Coast, allowing drivers to legally zip along at 70 mph for the first time in more than three decades and adding Ohio to more than two dozen states that have that speed limit. Some turnpike officials and other supporters of the change hoped it would lure trucks back to the toll road from parallel routes that run through smaller communities and may be less suited for large vehicle traffic. The Ohio Trucking Association opposed the change, arguing it might lead to more crashes as vehicles zigzag past slower-traveling trucks that top out at speeds several notches below 70 mph. If theres a road thats going to be at 70 mph, the Ohio Turnpike is definitely engineered and maintained for it, highway patrol Capt. Chris Zurcher said. He noted that wet weather and construction work, which also affect crash data, vary from year to year. About 1,270 crashes were recorded on the turnpike from April through September, including two that were fatal, according to the patrol. Thats up from 1,159 during those six months in 2010. The number of speeding citations issued in that time also rose by about 170, patrol data showed. Through early October, 1,912 turnpike crashes were reported. In the past few years, that annual total has ranged from about 2,100 to nearly 2,600. Officials say they need more data to determine whether the recent increases in truck traffic and crashes are linked to the new speed limit. When the limit for commercial vehicles rose from 55 mph to 65 mph in 2004, the patrol found injury and fatal crashes also increased in the following year and a half. Turnpike passenger traffic dropped slightly, possibly affected by a down economy and high gas prices, so turnpike officials see it as a good sign that truck traffic is up, interim executive director Dan Castrigano said. The turnpike recorded more than 21.4 million passenger vehicles from April to September, about 237,000 fewer than in the comparable period last year. It logged about 5.3 million commercial vehicles, an increase of about 95,000.

During this week, all the citizens of the City of Van Wert and those of Van Wert County are asked to join Van Wert Elks Lodge 1197 in celebrating their 100th anniversary. 25 Years Ago 1986 For one quarter, St. Johns defense was able to make St. Henrys All-Ohio running back Tony Borgerding look like an average ball-carrrier. But on the first play of the second quarter, Borgerding took a handoff and outraced the Jays secondary on a 65-yard touchdown jaunt. The next time he touched the ball he swept down the sideline on a scoring gallop. Those two plays helped open the floodgates and put the Redskins on the way to a 44-7 route of St. Johns Friday at Stadium Park.

Moderately confused
WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate voted Tuesday to threaten China with higher tariffs on Chinese products made cheap through an artificially undervalued currency, which lawmakers blame for destroying American jobs. The House, though, is unlikely to take up the bill, which some American businesses warn could trigger a trade war. The 63-35 vote showed a broad bipartisan consensus that it is time to end diplomatic niceties with China and confront it over its aggressive trade policies. There are always people who dont want to stand up to China and I think they are, frankly, undercutting our ability to stop the hemorrhaging in our manufacturing jobs, said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said the bill is an important step towards defending American values, confronting Chinas abusive practices and preventing the liquidation of American manufacturing. Still, the bill could die in the House, where a companion measure has the sponsorship of more than half the members but lacks the support of the GOP leadership. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, like the many large multinational companies that oppose the legislation, has said it would be dangerous to dictate another countrys currency policies, and he can prevent the bill from ever being considered. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Tuesday that the White House should make its position clear before the House acts. The White House and President Barack Obama have not come out against the bill but have shown they are not comfortable with it, saying they are concerned about any legislation that might violate international trade rules. Advocates for the bill say it will make American goods more competitive and support more than 1 million new jobs. Critics warn that it will provoke Chinese retaliation and hurt Americans in one of their fastest-growing markets. Regardless of the outcome, the debate and the vote are giving senators a chance to make clear to the Chinese their frustrations over trade policies that have seen Chinas trade surplus with the United States go from $10 billion 20 years ago to $273 billion last year, delivering painful blows to U.S. manufacturers and their employees. This is a country manipulating its currency for an advantage in the export market, said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. The Chinese manipulation of the yuan has cost this country at least 2 million jobs 41,000 in South Carolina and it is an unfair trade practice in another name. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu criticized the Senate vote on the currency issue in a statement posted to the ministrys website. Under the pretense of addressing the so-called exchange rate imbalance, this resolution is in fact an act of protectionism, and seriously violates World Trade Organization rules, he said. It not only cannot solve the problems in the U.S. economy or unemployment, but will seriously impede Sino-U.S. economic and trade ties and impede the joint efforts that China, the U.S. and the international community have made to enable a strong recovery and the growth of the global economy.
HANOVER, N.H. Presidential challenger Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of failing to lead in a time of economic peril but sounded less conservative than his Republican rivals in their debate Tuesday night, defending the 20082009 Wall Street bailout and declaring he could work with good Democrats. Romney also gave one of his most spirited defenses of his health care initiative when he was Massachusetts governor, legislation that Obama has called a partial blueprint for his own national overhaul. By positioning himself closer to the political center on several points, Romney sought to underscore his claim that he can draw crucial independent voters in next years general election. Hours before the candidates met in Hanover, Romney picked up New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies endorsement. Romney hopes it will help cement his support among the GOP establishment and By MATTHEW LEE Associated Press
all lose our jobs. The nation was on a precipice, Romney said, and we could have had a complete meltdown. Romney, however, said he disagreed with Obamas actions to shore up General Motors and Chrysler. The administration says the moves were highly successful and much of the federal money has been repaid. Romney said he would work with good Democrats to lead the country out of economic crisis. He said thats what he did as Massachusetts governor and what he would do if he wins the White House. For much of the debate, which focused solely on the economy, the candidates stuck to their economic messages and kept their criticism turned on Obama. The verbal fistfights of the three previous debates didnt occur Tuesday night, even though the first primaries and caucuses are less than 100 days away. Perry pressed Romney on his decision as Massachusetts governor to require residents to obtain health insurance, a central component of Obamas federal plan. als Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons under cover of a civilian atomic energy program. The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador? Nobody could make that up, right? Clinton said shortly after U.S. prosecutors accused two suspected Iranian agents of trying to murder Saudi envoy Adel Al-Jubeir. The purported plan was to carry out the assassination with a bomb attack while Al-Jubeir dined at his favorite restaurant. Obama called al-Jubeir on Tuesday to declare that the foiled assassination plot was a flagrant violation of U.S. and international law, the White House said. The president expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia and said he was committed to ensuring the security of diplomats in the United States. White House press secretary Jay Carney disclosed broad outlines of the call in a statement. Irans parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, called the Justice Departments claims a childish game.
WASHINGTON The Obama administration plans to leverage charges that Iran plotted to assassinate Saudi Arabias ambassador to the United States into a new global campaign to isolate the Islamic republic. U.S. officials say the administration will lobby for the imposition of new international sanctions as well as for individual nations to expand their own penalties against Iran based on allegations that Iranian agents tried to recruit a purported member of a Mexican drug cartel to kill the Saudi envoy on American soil. This really, in the minds of many diplomats and government officials, crosses a line that Iran needs to be held to account for, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday. She said she and President Barack Obama want to enlist more countries in working together against what is becoming a clearer and clearer threat from Iran.

EVENTS
people go pick up what was missed. Since our potatoes didnt do well, we will be glad to get some. Deer season for bow hunters has also opened. Joe was undecided if he would hunt deer or not. He always hunts with a gun, though, and that season opens up later. It is too nice to be sitting out here writing; time to get started with the laundry. Apple season, though, is still in full swing with lots of fresh cider on the menu and plenty of apples to be made into butter and breads. This is a delicious recipe for a homemade apple bread. Last week I shared apple cake; this recipe is just as a good! APPLE BREAD 1/2 cup of butter or shortening 2 eggs 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 1/2 cups of finely grated apples 1 1/4 cups sugar 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Sift together all dry ingredients and mix in. Fold in apples. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake 1 hour. Makes one loaf.

Five Lady Bearcats: seniors Taylor Elchert (5 kills), Devan Hanjora, Jackie Bowsher (7 assists), Morgan Pugh and Shanna German; played their final home matches. Pauldings power at the net was evident from the start as the Lady Bearcats (4-18, 1-8 NWC) had all kinds of trouble with the likes of Kristen Beck (9 kills; 8 blocks, 1 stuff) and Abbey Edwards (9 kills) at the net. A 7-0 span with Jessica Farr (5 kills; 6 blocks) putting down three kills put the Panthers in the drivers with a 12-5 lead in the opening set. Another 7-0 spurt with hitting errors creeping into the Bearcat attack put the guests (15-7, 6-3 NWC) in total command at 19-6. From then on, it was a matter of time as a spike off the Spencerville block by Farr gave the visitors a set lead. Set 2 followed much of the same pattern as its predecessor: too much power at the net for the Lady Panthers and mistakes by the Bearcats. Several smaller runs by the Panthers: 5-0, 4-0, 3-0 and later 7-0; which the Bearcats could never match with any of their own were key. Spencervilles biggest run was 3-0 (twice) before a stuff by Edwards on set point gave the guests a commanding 2-0 match lead. Paulding setter Mesa Praht (24 assists) continued to use her teams strength at the net in set 3. A 5-0 span put the Panthers up 16-6 but the Bearcats did not go away quietly. They battled to the last whistle getting as close as 19-13 on an ace by Alyssa Smith but in the end, Paulding had too much. An ace by Courney St. Johns on match point end it. We were without (junior) Shelby (Mulholland), one of our best middle hitters. Her family went on vacation this week, so we had to scramble, Spencerville coach Kari Wisher explained. We had girls in different positions and that resulted in some miscommunication. Plus, we had just too many mistakes in our hitting (27) and serving (8 versus 2 aces). Spencerville junior Abby Freewalt added 10 digs. We had to alter our attack; we went from a 6-2 set to a modified 5-1. The girls struggled to run the former, Paulding coach Todd Harmon noted. The girls seem to have adjusted well to it; we werent in the 6-2. Both teams begin tournament play next: Spencerville versus Fort Recovery Wednesday at Coldwater (Division IV) and Paulding versus Fairview Tuesday at LIncolnview (Division III). ----Mustangs lasso Lady Lancers HARROD Host Allen East handed invading Lincolnview a 4-set Northwest Conference volleyball loss 17-25, 25-21, 25-19, 25-16 Tuesday night at The Corral. The Lancers are in the Van Wert tri-match Saturday (10 a.m.) to end the regular season. ----Elida, Defiance notch girls soccer tie DEFIANCE Elida and Defiance battled to a 2-2 Western Buckeye League girls soccer draw Tuesday night in Defiance. Lindsey Hall and Shannon Boroff netted goals for the Lady Dawgs (5-7-2, 2-4-2 WBL), who outshot Defiance 7-5. E. Spencer and K. Casarez scored for the host Bulldogs (2-8-2, 1-6-2 WBL). Senior Kaitlyn Morrisey notched three saves in goal for Elida, while B. Froelich had five for Defiance. Elida hosts Fort Jennings at noon Saturday. -----Celina downs Elida volleyballers in 4 ELIDA Celina played the rude guest Tuesday night as they handed host Elida a 20-25, 25-16, 25-21, 25-19 Western Buckeye League loss. Katrina Meeks paced Elida (8-12, 3-5 WBL) with 14 kills and four aces, along with Kelsey Smith (37 assists) and Alex Hambleton (32 digs). Elida visits Defiance Thursday (5:30 p.m. junior varsity) to finish the regular season. ----Kalida boys shut out Pirates BLUFFTON The Kalida boys soccer team visited Steinmetz Field in Bluffton Tuesday night and came back to Putnam County with a 2-0 victory over host Bluffton. After a scoreless first half, Kalidas Ian Richey scored the matchs first goal halfway through the second half. Tyler Kortokrax scored at 7:30 on a penalty kick/. Kalida (13-1-0) dominated the shooting 11-1, with Drew Stechschulte stopping Blufftons only shot on-goal and Bluffton (17-7-1) keeper Kory Enneking nabbing nine saves. Kalida also won the junior varsity match 4-0. Kalida entertains Ottawa-Glandorf under the lights (7 p.m.) Saturday. ----Rockets down LadyCats in volleyball KALIDA Pandora-Gilboa defeated Kalida 25-8, 26-24, 25-20 in Putnam County League volleyball action Tuesday night in Kalida. Leading the LadyCats (13-8, 3-3 PCL) were Kayla Siefkers (6 kills), Elizabeth Turnwald and Haley McIntyre (5 kills), Brandi Merschman (4 kills and 2 aces) and Amy Smith (3 aces and 14 digs). Kalida visits Jefferson 6 p.m. Thursday (JV match) to end regular-season action. ----O-G bashes Lady Cougars on pitch GLANDORF Ottawa-Glandorfs girls soccer team scored five goals in each half Tuesday night as the Titans downed Van Wert 10-0 in Western Buckeye League action. Titan senior Brooke Zynda had a big night for O-G (10-3-2) with three goals and an assist. Zynda opened the scoring with 32:33 left to play in the opening half as she converted a pass from Breann Racer. Nearly two minutes later, Zynda had a hand in the Titans going up 2-0 as she garnered an assist on Ali Nashs goal with 31:43 left in the half. Zynda ended the first-half scoring as she scored with four seconds left in the first half to make it 5-0. Breann Schroeder and Danielle Schroeder both scored first half goals as Megan Siefker assisted on Danielle Schroeders goal. Zynda and Nash scored second half goals for the Titans, while Jessie Kreinbrink, Taylor Mansfield and Whitney Warnecke both had goals. Warnecke, Nash and Breann Schroeder all had assists in the second half. O-G outshot the Lady Cougars 17-2 for the contest. Titan goalie Megan Hoehn had two saves, while Cougar goalie Courtney Bryd had 11 saves. O-G is now 10-3-2 on the season. Van Wert visits Coldwater 5 p.m. Thursday. ----Roughriders knock off Cougars at the net By Brian Bassett Times Bulletin Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT - The Van Wert Lady Cougar volleyball team hosted the St. See LOCAL ROUNDUP, page 7
They finally broke through for the second time at 26:58 when Koch fired a cross pass from the right wing; Kreeger tried to stop it but the ball eluded her effort and waiting for it was Landwehr for a point-blank shot and a 2-0 edge. The Big Green scored at 24:24 against Hamilton as Landwehr got possession on a throw-in on the left post and fired an 18-yarder to the right side for a 3-0 spread. That became 4-0 at 16:10 when senior Caitlyn Landin threw the ball in to Von Sossan on the doorstep of the right post; she got the orb past Musser. The Jays, who had a 19-yarder by Wrasman stopped by Kramer at 34;11, had a chance to the board at 12:52 when C. Grothouse fired from the left wing but it was stopped. The visitors made it 5-0 at 7:17 when Beining got possession in the middle and fired it low past Musser. The Jays got on the scoreboard at 5:41 against backup Ottoville keeper Danielle Trenkamp (sophomore) as Wrasman crossed the ball from the right wing to Jackson, whose shot went low and hard to the left side for a 5-1 scoreboard. Both teams are in action for the final regular-season tilts Thursday: St. Johns at Lima Central Catholic (5 p.m.) and Ottoville hosting Fort Jennings (7 p.m.).
winning the 50/50 balls and keeping their hosts in their offensive end. However in the second half, the Wildcats picked up the pace but the stingy Pirate defense refused to bend. Kalida had opportunities at the 31:37 mark and another with 21:38 to go when Gardner sent a delivery high and over the Continental net. Brinkman climbed the ladder for a great save with just under 29 minutes left in the second half. Gardner and Weller went back and forth in the latter stages of the match as the Kalida freshman took shot after shot at the Pirate junior but the elder of the two continued to keep the hosts off the scoreboard. However, with 6:35 to go, Gardner finally found a chink in the armor as she took as shot from eight yards out and slipped it to Wellers left side and into the back of the net to knot the match at 1-1. Kalida picked up the intensity from there but was unable to grab the go-ahead goal, thus the match ending with the teams sharing the PCL crown. Kalida hosts Crestview 7 p.m. Thursday.

Eversole had 10 kills and Julia Wynn contributed eight kills. Langhals dished out 24 assists. Schumacher had five aces and 10 digs. Tonight was a good night for the seniors to get the win on their last home game and the last volleyball game played here in this gym, Columbus Grove coach Kelly Lepley said. It was good to end their career here on a win and watch them have fun. The junior varsity match was won by Columbus Grove 25-19, 25-5 to win the NWC title. The Wildcats play their last regular-season match on Thursday (6 p.m. JV) for Senior Night versus Kalida and the Lady Bulldogs travel to Ottawa-Glandorf Saturday (10 a.m. JV) before tournament begins.

but he shot right at senior netminder Joe Moonshower. At 8:19, Van Wert used its passing abilities again when Joey Hurless passed up to Nike Goessl, who took a shot on the left side as Gay dove but barely missed for a Cougars goal. With 3:54 left in the opening half, the Bearcats started to see some spark and with the help of Byron Gay on the right side making a cross pass to Patterson, the goal was left wide open as he chipped it in for a Spencerville goal and a 3-1 deficit. The second half was dominated by Van Wert as they scored eight goals. The first came 10 minutes into the half off a corner kick from Hurless. Not even a minute later, Wilhelm dribbled all the way down the field to Nathan Knodel, who shot five yards out on the left just past Gay, who didnt see him coming. At the 29:05 mark, the Bearcats fouled inside the goal box and Van Wert had a penalty kick. McCellan used it to his advantage as Gay dove but the Cougars went up 6-1. Hurless made a crossover move to Lisa, who shot and scored over a leaping Gay. Less than three minutes later, Hurless split two defenders and shot from three yards out and scored for Van Wert. One minute later, a corner kick by Kyle Money let Thad Davis score halfway inside the box from about nine yards just over the Spencerville defenders at the 18:22 mark. Pearson dribbled his way through the Spencerville defenders and took a shot from about eight yards outside the goal and just made it past Byron Gay, who came in for Zach Gay at the 20-minute mark. The Bearcats finally took control of the ball at the 14:10 mark when Austin Swartz was left wide open just outside the goal box and shot a 20-yard laser as the ball went over Moonshowers head for a Spencerville goal and a 10-2 hole. With four minutes left, freshman Josh Overholt got his chance at the goal when he used his quickness to get past the Spencerville defenders and scored to end the match. It was a good game and we had a lot of our non-starters play so it was kind of nice for them to come out and produce some goals for us, Van Wert coach George Scott said. I think the win tonight helped us build confidence for the tournament in the future. Spencerville visits Lincolnview Thursday; Van Wert travels to Ottawa-Glandorf.
KALIDA The Kalida volleyballers had to go the distance but downed invading Columbus Grove 26-24, 23-25, 23-25, 25-18, 15-13 in a Putnam County League marathon Monday night at The Wildcat Den. Kayla Siefker (16 kills; 2 aces) and Haley McIntyre (14 kills) had double-digit totals for the LadyCats (13-7, 3-2 PCL) and Haley Zenz had 27 assists. Guiding the Lady Bulldogs (8-12, 2-4 PCL) were Anna Ricker (28 kills), Julia Wynn (6 blocks) returning from a month off due to an injury and Nicole Langhals (59 assists). Whenever two teams that know each other so well get together as these two PCL rivals do and have had a lot of success in the last decade or so, you can almost figure it will go a long way. This matchup was no different. They wanted to win this match as much as anyone. I credit Grove for doing what they needed to do, Kalida coach Jeremy Stober noted. Wynn and Ricker were solid hitters for them. I just think we had a few more hitters at the net that eventually was the difference. After four very close and competitive sets, it came down to the ultimate set. Even that was close. It took a big 4-0 span that propelled Kalida to a 13-9 edge on a hitting error by the Bulldogs to give the LadyCats some breathing room. The Bulldogs could never quite overcome that deficit, though they did get within 14-13 on a hit off the block by the 6-1 Wynn. However, when Zenz (4 kills) hit an off-speed cut shot from left to right that the defense couldnt dig up, Kalida had the match.
Each team took turns seemingly in control of the match, from the first set on. After the LadyCats edged out a set 1 victory, the teams battled on even terms into the second set as well. With no lead more than three and several ties, it came down to the Bulldogs using the tips to great effect over the Kalida front wall and in front of the back row. A net violation of set point tied the match at 1-1. The third set was close until Grove put together a 7-0 spurt with Wynn contributing three kills and a stuff to take a 10-5 edge. Try as they might, the Maroon and White could never quite get over that hump. A push shot off the back row by Sammi Stechschulte on set point put the visitors up 2-1. Just as quickly. Kalida retaliated. This time, they used an early 4-0 span on three hitting miscues by the guests and a stuff by McIntyre (4 blocks) to take a 5-1 edge. They eventually led by as much as 15-7 on a hit off the defense by Andrea Bellman (3 kills). The Bulldogs could not regain the momentum and a hitting error on set point forced a set five. Our passing was there for the second and third sets, just not for the other three. When we didnt get the good passes, we struggled getting quality hits, Grove coach Kelly Lepley noted. Getting Julia back is big for us. She played a little bit Saturday but not much. This was her first extended action in over a month. Other contributors for the LadyCats were Brandi Merschman (9 kills and 3 aces), Alexis Decker (2 kills and 14 assists), Elizabeth Turnwald (3 kills) and Amy Smith (3 aces). Grove received 28 digs from Rachel Schumacher and two aces from Emily Tabler. Grove won the junior varsity match 26-24, 25-22.

DETROIT Chrysler Group LLC and the United Auto Workers negotiators agreed on a new four-year contract early today that creates 2,100 new jobs. Chrysler also will invest $4.5 billion in its plants under the deal, which covers 26,000 U.S. workers. This agreement is the latest in a remarkable turnaround for Chrysler, UAW Vice President General Holiefield said in a statement. This is the first contract agreement reached since Chryslers government bailout and bankruptcy two years ago, and the first since Chrysler has been managed by Italian automaker Fiat SpA. The agreement must still be ratified by Chryslers workers. The union gave few other details. Its expected to reveal more at a news
conference scheduled for 11:30 a.m. EDT. The agreement is expected to be similar to deals reached earlier with General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., but probably less rich. GM and Ford both made billions of dollars last year, while Chrysler lost money. At both GM and Ford, most workers will get profit-sharing checks instead of annual raises. GM workers were given $5,000 signing bonuses while Ford workers have been promised $6,000 signing bonuses. GM workers ratified their agreement last month. Ford workers are still voting. Chrysler and the union have hit a number of stumbling blocks during negotiations. As the original deadline to reach a new contract approached in mid-September, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne sent an angry letter to UAW President Bob King, accusing him of failing to show up at a meeting to finalize the deal. The
two sides eventually agreed to extend the contract to Oct. 19. Late last week, three money issues separated the company and the union: The size of signing bonuses and profit-sharing checks and a cap on the number of entrylevel workers that Chrysler could have. The union wanted to cap the number of entry-level workers at 25 percent in 2015, while Chrysler wanted no limit, said two people briefed on the talks who asked not to be identified because the negotiations are private. Entry-level workers make $14 to $16 per hour, about half the wage of longtime UAW workers. The union wants the lower-paid workers to move up to the higher wage of around $29, while the company wants to control costs by paying more workers at the lower rate. About 12 percent of Chryslers 23,000 factory
workers now are paid the lower wage, and the carmaker plans to hire thousands more over the next four years as it retools factories to make new models. Ford agreed to a 20 percent cap, while GMs limit is 25 percent. The UAW also represents 3,000 salaried workers such as engineers. Marchionne has been tough on Fiats Italian unions, challenging the Italian way of negotiating new contracts and seeking plant-by-plant deals in a bid for more flexible work rules instead of the traditional national contracts. In the process, he has run up against fierce resistance from the FIOM metalworkers union. FIOM is planning a one-day strike at all Fiat plants on Oct. 21. Chrysler, which has been majority-owned by Italys Fiat since July, is still struggling to make a profit. The company earned $116 million in the first quarter, its
first quarterly net profit in five years. But it lost $370 million in the second quarter, mostly because of charges for refinancing debt. Chrysler expects to earn $200 million to $500 million this year, excluding the debt charges. If so, it will be Chryslers first profitable year on that basis since 2005. But the company is
earning only a fraction of what its Detroit rivals are. Ford reported a profit of $6.6 billion last year, while GM earned $4.7 billion. Fiat was given a 20 percent stake in Chrysler by the U.S. government in exchange for management expertise and technology. The Italian automaker has since raised its stake to more than 50 percent.

CHICAGO There is more evidence that taking vitamin E pills can be risky. A study that followed up on men who took high doses of the vitamin for about five years found they had a slightly increased risk of prostate cancer even after they quit taking the pills. Doctors say its another sign that people should be careful about using vitamins and other supplements. People tend to think of vitamins as innocuous substances, almost like chicken soup take a little and it cant hurt, said lead author Dr. Eric Klein of the Cleveland Clinic. The study shows that is not true. If you have normal levels, the vitamin is probably of no benefit, and if you take too much, you can be harmed, Klein said. Men randomly assigned to take a 400-unit capsule of vitamin E every day for about five years were 17 percent more likely to get prostate cancer than those given dummy pills. That dose, commonly found in over-the-counter supplements, is almost 20 times higher than the recommended adult amount, which is about 23 units daily. The results mean for every 1,000 men who took vitamin E, there were 11 additional cases of prostate cancer, compared with men taking dummy pills. The study was actually launched to try to confirm less rigorous research suggesting vitamin E might protect against prostate cancer. Overall, about 160 of every 1,000 U.S. men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Risks increase as men age. Detection can be tricky since symptoms such as frequent urination can also be caused by harmless conditions, and doctors disagree about the benefits of screening tests. Treatment is also complex since some slowgrowing prostate cancers are not deadly but some procedures, including surgery, can damage sexual function and cause incontinence. Just last week, a government-convened panel of experts recommended against routine PSA screening for prostate cancer. That draft advice is open for public comment. What should vitamin E users do, given the new study results? About 13 percent of American men take it, according to a supplement trade group. Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, says they should stop taking large doses and talk to their doctors about risks and benefits from prostate cancer screening. Smaller doses, typically found in multivitamins, are probably fine, said Brawley, who was not involved in the research. Vitamin E is found in foods such as nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. The nutrient helps nerves, muscles, blood vessels and the immune system function. Vitamin E supplements have long been promoted for disease prevention, but scientific research has disproven many claims and suggested they might increase risks for some conditions, including heart failure. Brawley noted that the study echoes previous thinking on beta-carotene, which once was thought to protect against cancer but more recently has been linked with increased risks for lung cancer, especially in smokers. There should be a global warning that ... excessive use of vitamins has not been proven to be beneficial and may be the opposite, Brawley said. Experts generally agree that foods are the best sources for vitamins. The new research appears in todays Journal of the American Medical Association. The National Cancer Institute and National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine paid for the multimillion-dollar study. Joe Latina, a cabinet shop owner in Aurora, Ohio, was among study participants. He said researchers gave him pills they said might slow down prostate cancer. Now 71 and cancer-free, he says he doesnt know whether he was given vitamins or dummy pills. Latina said he was kind of surprised by the study results, but is not stressing out over the possibility that he still might get cancer.

Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. Pardon me, she said. Im sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. Its just that you look just like my son, who just died recently. Im very sorry. replied the young man. Is there anything I can do for you? Yes, she said. As Im leaving, can you say Good bye, Mother? It would make me feel so much better. Sure, answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, Goodbye, Mother! As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. How can that be? he asked. I only purchased a few things!
