James Hetfield of Metallica Records PSA, Offers Reward to Help Find Fan's Killer


James Hetfield of Metallica filmed a PSA and the band has offered a large reward to the public in solving the murder of Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington.

Harrington went missing following the heavy metal band's October 9, 2009, concert in Charlottesville, Va. Her skeletal remains turned up three months later.

The PSA is meant to assist the FBI and Virginia State Police in gathering tips that could aid them in identifying a man whom they believe to be a suspect.

"Back in 2010, our band offered $50,000 to help catch the person responsible for murdering Morgan Harrington," says Hetfield. "Since that time authorities have uncovered new evidence linking her killer to a similar assault to a woman in Virginia."

The video included police sketches. Hetfield pleaded for anyone who may know the individual or have information on the case to contact authorities.

"Remember, any information, no matter how small you might think it is, could be that crucial piece investigators need to help solve the case," he said.

There is now a $150,000 reward, including Metallica's original $50,000.

Harrington, a 20-year-old aspiring teacher, was last seen hitchhiking after she left the John Paul Jones Arena where the group was playing that night.

Her body was discovered in January 2010. DNA recovered has since been linked to an unknown offender who attacked a woman in Fairfax City in 2005.

Anyone with tips can call the Virginia State Police at 434-352-3467.

President Obama's Debt Falsehood

I had high hopes for President Obama?s speech on the economy. But instead of going to Ohio on Thursday with a compelling plan for the future, the president gave Americans a falsehood wrapped in a fallacy.

The falsehood is that he has been serious about cutting government spending. The fallacy is that this election will be some sort of referendum that will break the logjam in Washington.

Late goal lifts Portugal over Denmark

By BARRY HATTON

Associated Press

Associated Press Sports

updated 5:28 p.m. ET June 13, 2012

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) -Underperforming Portugal finally got a win. Underperforming Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't much help.

After a miserable run of four games without a victory and only one goal scored, the Portuguese came through with an 87th-minute goal from substitute Silvestre Varela to beat Denmark 3-2 in Group B of the European Championship.

"Those of us who don't play from the start must be ready to join in at any time and deliver what the manager wants," said Varela, who replaced Raul Meireles in the 84th. "We should keep on working like this to achieve our aims."

All four teams in Group B can still advance to the quarterfinals. After Germany beat the Netherlands 2-1 in the late match, the three-time champions lead the group with six points while both Portugal and Denmark have three.

Varela scored the winner three minutes from the end, spinning on the ball and shooting from short range. It was Varela's first international goal in four appearances.

But the winning strike came late, and after several missed opportunities from Ronaldo.

"We should have killed the game off earlier," Portugal coach Paulo Bento said. "We had enough chances."

Portugal also got first-half goals from Pepe and Helder Postiga at the Lviv Arena, but the Danes replied with a pair of goals from Nicklas Bendtner. The Denmark striker found the target just before halftime and then made it 2-2 in the 80th.

"To lose in the last five minutes is very tough for us to take," Bendtner said. "We felt that one point at that stage was a very good result for us."

Ronaldo is Portugal's captain and easily its best player. And at Euro 2012, the team is looking to him to reproduce the kind of goal-rich form he showed at Real Madrid last season when he scored 60 goals.

But Ronaldo, facing a compact Danish defense that denied the Netherlands a goal in their opeing win, didn't even take a shot until the 18th minute. That one flew wide, and the forward threw his arms in the air and apparently cursed at a divot in the pitch.

"Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world and is a very good captain and a very good leader," Pepe said. "I'm sure he will score soon."

His best chances - and most astounding misses - came in the second half. He broke through the Danish defense five minutes after the break and ran at goalkepeer Stephan Andersen, who dived sharply to his left to block the shot.

In the 78th, Ronaldo was guilty of another miss when he went face-to-face with Andersen but again shot wide. Ronaldo appeared embarrassed, looking to the sky and closing his eyes as the crowd's jeers rang in his ears.

He said he was angry with himself "because of the chances I had and because I could have done better."

Ronaldo was the team's top scorer in qualifying for the tournament, racking up seven goals. But after the final whistle Wednesday, while Pepe raised his arms and celebrated, Ronaldo crouched alone on the field, staring quietly at the turf.

"(Ronaldo) couldn't help us today with a goal," Pepe said, "but he helped to get us here today."

To complete a despondent appearance, Ronaldo ended the game with a yellow card in added time for tripping William Kvist.

"Lucky for us Ronaldo wasn't that sharp today," Andersen said. "But at the end of the day we lost 3-2, so I'm sure Cristiano is the one who has a smile on his face."

Overall, the Portuguese will be happy with the victory against a team they had beaten only once in their previous five meetings. They were in the same qualifying group for Euro 2012 and the 2010 World Cup, and Denmark finished at the top of the group both times.

U.S. Catholic bishops plan united front

ATLANTA (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops, concerned that the American public perceives the church as divided and weak, vowed on Wednesday to present a united front during a "Fortnight to Freedom" celebration of religious liberty that begins next week in dioceses across the nation.

Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, who has been leading the campaign, told bishops assembled for a national convention in Atlanta that Fortnight should focus on the principles of religious freedom and should not dwell on "parties, candidates or elections."

Yet the bishops did not repudiate the sharp, and often sharply partisan, rhetoric that has characterized the religious liberty campaign, which church officials launched earlier this year in protest of an Obama Administration regulation requiring all health insurance plans to provide free birth control.

One bishop, however, did urge his colleagues to refrain from referring to the 2010 federal health-care law as "Obamacare," since that is a term used mostly by opponents of the president and could be seen as overly partisan.

The church teaches that artificial contraception is a sin. Bishops protesting the mandate have compared Obama with Hitler and Stalin and accused his administration of strangling the Catholic Church.

"UNBELIEVABLE AND EGREGIOUS"

Leading up to the meeting, some liberal Catholics had expressed hope that at least a handful of bishops would stand up to urge the assembly to moderate its rhetoric and take pains to avoid being seen as excessively partisan.

Bishop Stephen Blaire seemed to take a step in that direction in an interview with a Jesuit magazine in late May in which he called for a "broader discussion" among bishops to ensure that their message of religious liberty was not "co-opted" by groups "very far to the right."

On Wednesday, however, Blaire made a point of praising the religious liberty campaign and calling the federal contraceptive mandate an "unbelievable and egregious" intrusion on the right of the church and its institutions to follow their consciences. He led a motion, which passed unanimously, to reaffirm a document calling for Catholics to unite behind the religious freedom campaign.

Even bishops who have called for more dialogue with the Obama Administration said this was not an issue on which they could seek reconciliation. "These are clear examples of the freedom of religion being restricted," said Bishop Michael Sheehan of Santa Fe.

Several dozen Catholic institutions, including 13 dioceses, have filed lawsuits seeking to overturn the contraceptive mandate. The issue could become moot if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the Obama health-care law in a ruling expected later this month, but the mandate could also survive if the law, or some portions of it, are upheld.

The Obama administration exempted religious institutions from the contraceptive mandate but used a very narrow definition: Only churches and groups that primarily serve and employ people of just one faith can qualify.

That means most Catholic hospitals, universities and charities cannot qualify, as they serve the public at large. The administration sought to accommodate those institutions by giving them an extra year to comply with the mandate, until August 2013, and by saying they would not have to pay for the contraceptive coverage themselves; their insurance companies would pick up the tab.

The compromise satisfied some Catholics, mostly on the left, but the bishops remain implacably opposed. They want an exemption not just for all religious institutions of any type but also for any individual business owner who objects to contraceptive coverage on moral or religious grounds, even if he runs an entirely secular business.

MUSIC AND CAR MAGNETS

Archbishop Lori made clear the bishops would not back down from that principle. "Defending religious freedom is not a walk in the park," he said in a speech, noting that the bishops had come in for criticism and even derision for their views. "It may be tempting to get discouraged, to second-guess the effort and to soft-pedal our message, but in fact I would say this should encourage us to do exactly the opposite."

The bishops said they hoped to enlist prominent lay Catholics to make statements and appear in promotions supporting the religious liberty campaign, to combat what they said was an erroneous public impression that the rest of the faithful do not stand with them on this issue.

Sister Simone Campbell, a nun who runs a social justice advocacy group and has clashed with the bishops frequently, said she found the "scripted, stilted" tone of the meeting disappointing and unproductive. "I'm really concerned that our leadership seems to think there is no room for dialogue in our discernment of the way forward," she said. "The bishops don't understand what it is to build a coalition in a democratic culture."

The Fortnight for Freedom campaign runs from June 21 to July 4. It features a variety of events designed to appeal to Catholics of all ages, from a Twitter campaign to a music festival at a winery to traditional Masses to the distribution of 10,000 car magnets promoting religious freedom. Two Kansas bishops have organized rallies in front of government buildings in Topeka and Wichita. Other dioceses are sponsoring conferences and public prayer. Bishops are also encouraging Catholics to pray briefly for religious liberty each day at 3 p.m. in a campaign they dub "A Minute to Win It!"

The campaign and lawsuits are being funded in part by donations from Catholic organizations including Knights of Columbus and the Order of Malta and the Catholic nonprofit organization Our Sunday Visitor, Lori said.

At the conclusion of the all-day meeting, Cardinal Timothy Dolan showed off the ultimate Fortnight to Freedom fan gear: a red foam hand, the type often waved at sports events, printed with the Fortnight to Freedom logo and the message "#1 Freedom."

Urban Kids Have More Food Allergies Than Their Country Cousins

60-Second Science60-Second Science | Health

Six percent of children in rural areas had a food allergy, compared with 10 percent of kids in urban centers. Sophie Bushwick reports

More 60-Second Science

City kids have a smorgasbord of food choices. But they also face food allergies more than do their country cousins.

Researchers mapped food allergies in children across the U.S. And they found more cases per capita in areas with higher population densities. The work is in the journal Clinical Pediatrics. [Ruchi S. Gupta et al., "Geographic Variability of Childhood Food Allergy in the United States"]

The scientists collected allergy information on more than 38,000 Americans under age 18, and then sorted the information by zip code. Six percent of children in rural areas had a food allergy. But that number jumped to 10 percent of kids in urban centers. Peanut and shellfish allergies in particular were more common. Although the frequency of allergies varied by location, their severity did not.

What explains this trend? It could be that rural dirt is good?in the country, children?s immune systems get challenged early and often, and thus more properly trained. Or it could be that urban dirt is bad?city children deal with pollutants that may predispose them toward allergies.

Solving this puzzle could help protect kids from common foods that can do them uncommon harm.
