4B Daily News – Saturday, August 13, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING Consumers help ease recession fears WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy might not be on the brink of another reces- sion after all. Consumers, who drive most economic growth, spent more on cars, furniture, electronics and other goods in July — and more in May and June than previously thought. That burst of activity is encourag- ing because it shows many Americans were willing to spend despite high unem- ployment, scant pay raises, steep gas prices and diminished wealth. If it keeps up, the economy might rebound after growing at an annual rate of just 0.8 percent in the first half of 2011. That’s a big if. Whether Americans remain willing to spend freely despite the stock markets’ wild swings will determine whether the second half of the year is any better than the first. Their 401(k) retirement accounts have shrunk. Even with the Dow Jones industrial average’s 125-point gain Friday, the Dow is down about 11 percent since July 21. Appeals court strikes down health overhaul insurance requirement ATLANTA (AP) — A federal appeals panel struck down the centerpiece of Pres- ident Barack Obama’s sweeping health care overhaul Friday, moving the argu- ment over whether Americans can be required to buy health insurance a step closer to the U.S. Supreme Court. The divided three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded Congress overstepped its authority when lawmakers passed the so-called individual mandate, the first such decision by a fed- eral appeals court. It’s a stinging blow to Obama’s signature legislative achieve- ment, as most experts agree the require- ment that Americans carry health insur- ance — or face tax penalties — is the foundation for other parts of the law. The 207-page opinion, written by Chief Judge Joel Dubina and Circuit Judge Frank Hull, found that lawmakers cannot require residents to ‘‘enter into contracts with private insurance companies for the purchase of an expensive product from the time they are born until the time they die.’’ In a lengthy dissent, Circuit Judge Stan- ley Marcus accused the majority of ignor- ing the ‘‘undeniable fact that Congress’ commerce power has grown exponentially over the past two centuries.’’ He wrote that Congress generally has the constitutional authority to create rules regulating large areas of the national economy. The White House argued the legislative branch was using a ‘‘quintessential’’ power — its constitutional ability to regu- late interstate commerce, including the health care industry — when it passed the overhaul law. Administration officials said they are confident the ruling will not stand. The Justice Department can ask the full 11th Circuit to review the panel’s ruling and will also likely appeal to the Supreme Court. Texas Gov. Perry has got the GOP buzz DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —Months behind other GOP candidates, Rick Perry has something most of them don’t: Buzz. The Texas governor will enter the race Sat- urday with splashy appearances in South Carolina and New Hampshire. At the same time, he is putting together what looks a lot like a traditional presiden- tial campaign. The path he hopes will lead to the Republican nomination starts here, in the leadoff caucus state of Iowa, with a message of jobs and values as he tries to set himself apart from GOP front-runner Mitt Romney. The Texan’s team is working to expand what it says is already a robust fundraising network and to hire veteran campaign operatives in early primary states. The campaign, as many before it, aims to march through early states, court a broad coalition of conservatives and stress an economic message backed by the candi- date’s home-state job growth. ‘‘We cannot and must not endure four more years of rising unemployment, rising taxes, rising debt and rising energy depen- dence on nations that intend us harm,’’ Perry is to say Saturday in Charleston, S.C., according to remarks prepared for delivery. Still, his hurdles on the way to the GOP nomination are high, given that Perry is later to the game than his rivals, some of whom have been campaigning and fundraising for months. US ports spend big post-9/11 to guard against terror SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — About $2.5 billion in federal grants paying for 10 years of security upgrades have made a huge difference at America’s seaports in the decade since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Port of Savannah, Ga., is the fourth-busiest container port in the U.S. Every day tractor trailers haul more than 4,000 cargo containers through radiation detectors. Similar scanners are installed at cials interpreted the sentence to mean Anthony could serve the probation while she was in jail awaiting her murder trial. Strickland clarified in an order last week that Anthony needs to start serving probation now that she is out of jail. Strickland later recused himself and turned the case over to Perry, who presided over the murder trial that ended last month with Anthony’s acquittal in her daughter’s death. Perry put the probation order on hold temporarily and heard arguments last week from Anthony’s attorneys. They told the judge that she had served her probation while in jail awaiting her murder trial and requiring her to do so again would be dou- ble jeopardy. They also argued that she would be in danger if her location were known, given that she has received death threats. London police say nearly 700 charged over riots, as courts dispense swift justice LONDON (AP) — Thousands of extra police officers were stationed on Britain’s streets Friday, as the country faced its first weekend since riots raged through suburbs and town centers, leav- ing a scarred landscape of broken glass and torched buildings. Police in London, which saw the worst violence, have charged almost 700 people with violence, disorder and looting, and the city’s mayor said Lon- doners wanted to see tough sentences handed out to the guilty. Hundreds of stores were looted, buildings were set ablaze and five people died amid the mayhem that broke out Saturday in London and spread over four nights across England. Police, meanwhile, hit back against claims they were too soft in their initial response to the disorder. Prime Minister David Cameron said officers had been overwhelmed at first, outmaneuvered by mobile gangs of riot- ers. He said ‘‘far too few police were deployed onto the streets. And the tac- tics they were using weren’t working.’’ That changed Tuesday, when 16,000 ports from coast-to-coast to look for nuclear bombs hidden in shipments. Georgia’s port security chief Kevin Doyle says before 9/11 there were wasn’t even a complete fence surrounding Savan- nah’s main terminal. Susan Monteverde of the American Association of Port Authorities warns Congress could make deep cuts to port security grants in the 2012 budget. Saudi leaders push forward with bolder policies amid turmoil DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia is getting bolder in its strate- gy for dealing with the Middle East’s uprisings. No longer waiting for Washing- ton’s cue, the kingdom is aggressively try- ing to influence the regional turmoil and boost its two goals — protect fellow royal houses and isolate its rival, Iran. The more decisive policies by King Abdullah were on full display this week as he took the lead among Arab nations by yanking his ambassador from Syria and demanding an ‘‘end to the killing machine’’ of President Bashar Assad’s regime in a startlingly strong condemna- tion of Damascus’ bloody suppression of protesters. It was the first time the predominantly Sunni kingdom has weighed in publicly on Syria’s upheaval — and demonstrated the Saudis’ willingness to shift gears dramati- cally as needed. Saudi Arabia has tried to snuff out or buy off dissent at home and around the Gulf, most notably sending troops to Bahrain to help its Sunni monarch crush a Shiite protest movement in a deadly crack- down. ‘‘It’s a big move for Saudi Arabia,’’ said Christopher Davidson, who studies Gulf affairs at Durham University in Britain. ‘‘Before, Saudi was seen as the main anti-Arab Spring power and interest- ed mostly in preserving the status quo in the region. Now, you have the Saudis actively and openly against the Syrian regime.’’ Fla. judge says Casey Anthony must return to Orlando area ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony must return to Orlando within two weeks to serve a year’s probation for check fraud, a Florida judge ruled Friday. Judge Belvin Perry said that Anthony must follow an order issued by another judge and report to a probation officer in Orange County no later than Aug. 26 at noon, although she could report earlier. The other judge, Stan Strickland, had sentenced Anthony in January 2010 to one year of probation after she pleaded guilty to stealing checks from a friend. He said Anthony should serve the probation upon her release, but those instructions never made it to a written order. Corrections offi- officers were out on London’s streets — almost three times the number of the night before. Cameron said the extra officers will remain on patrol through the weekend. Syrian protesters call for Assad’s death BEIRUT (AP) — Tens of thousands of Syrian protesters shouted for Presi- dent Bashar Assad’s death Friday in a dramatic escalation of their rage and frustration, defying bullets and rooftop snipers after more than a week of inten- sified military assaults on rebellious cities, activists and witnesses said. Security forces killed at least 14 pro- testers, according to human rights groups. The calls for Assad’s execution were a stark sign of how much the protest movement has changed since it erupted in March seeking minor reforms but making no calls for regime change. The protests grew dramatically over the five months that followed, driven in part by anger over the government’s bloody crackdown in which rights groups say at least 1,700 civilians have been killed. But with the regime shrugging off even the most blistering condemnation, the uprising has become a test of endurance as both sides draw on a deep well of energy and conviction. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday urged countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas or sell- ing the regime weapons, saying those who still do so must ‘‘get on the right side of history.’’ In cities around Syria, protesters chanted, ‘‘The people want to execute the president!’’ during the now-familiar cycle of weekly demonstrations fol- lowed by a swift crackdown by the mil- itary, security forces and pro-govern- ment gunmen who operate on the regime’s behalf. Maine school finds Chinese recruiting a tough sell PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A school district in Maine that sought out Chinese students to help boost its enrollment and its finances fell far short of its ambitious goal. Only six Chinese students will attend high school in the northern Maine town of Millinocket this fall. The school was hop- ing to bring in 60 students. Officials say the target was probably overly ambitious. Their efforts also were hindered by a recruiter who failed to deliver any students. Also, a writer told readers of a national Chinese newspaper that U.S. children hang out in parking lots for fun and that Stearns High School is ‘‘run-of-the-mill.’’ Stearns High School officials say they’re disappointed more Chinese stu- dents won’t be attending, but will stick with the program and try to expand in the years ahead.
