8A Daily News – Wednesday, October 26, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING Gadhafi secretly buried MISRATA, Libya (AP) — Flamboyant and grandiose in life, Moammar Gadhafi was buried in secre- cy and anonymity, laid to rest in an unmarked grave before dawn in the Libyan desert that was home to his Bedouin tribal ancestors. The burial ended the gruesome spectacle of Gad- hafi's decaying corpse on public display in a cold stor- age locker at a Misrata warehouse for four days after he was killed in his hometown of Sirte on Oct. 20. The location of the brutal dictator's grave site was not disclosed by the interim government for fear of van- dalism by his foes and ven- eration by his die-hard sup- porters. Gadhafi, 69, was buried Tuesday along with his son Muatassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis after the military council in the city of Misra- ta ordered a reluctant Mus- lim cleric to say the required prayers. Libya's new leaders hope the funeral will allow the country to turn the page on the four-decade Gadhafi era and the bloody eight-month rebellion against him. Still, the book cannot be closed completely, with unan- swered questions remaining about his slaying, and his son and one-time heir appar- ent, Seif al-Islam, still at large. Children kept in dog kennel NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — Four children were removed from what authori- ties described as a filthy Nebraska trailer home where a 3-year-old boy and his 5-year-old brother were kept in a wire dog kennel, police said Tuesday. North Platte officers went to the home late Mon- day after receiving a call from someone asking that police check on the welfare Service briefs and photos of Veterans and active duty Military with Tehama County ties: Published in D NEWSAILY RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY FREE OF CHARGE On Veterans' Day Friday, November 11, 2011 This project made possible by the sponsorship of these companies and organizations: WALMART Distribution Center This page sponsored by: of the children living there, police Lt. Rich Hoaglund said. When officers went inside, they were met with the stench of urine and found trash and animal feces throughout the home, Hoaglund said. An officer soon found two boys, ages 3 and 5, in a 30-by-42-inch wire dog kennel. ''They had a small child's mattress in there, and that's where both kids were sleeping,'' Hoaglund said. ''The gate on that door was wired shut.'' The children's mother, 22-year-old Ashly Clark, told officers she put her boys in the kennel at night to keep them from climbing out of the trailer through a window, Hoaglund said. Soldier's death highlights women's role WASHINGTON (AP) — Army 1st Lt. Ashley White died on the front lines in southern Afghanistan last weekend, the first casualty in what the Army says is a new and vital wartime attempt to gain the trust of Afghan women. White, like other female soldiers working with spe- cial operations teams, was brought in to do things that would be awkward or impossible for her male teammates. Frisking burqa- clad women, for example. Her death, in a bomb explosion in the Taliban heartland of Kandahar, underscores the risks of placing women with elite U.S. special operations teams working in remote villages. Military leaders and other female soldiers in the program say its rewards are great, even as it fuels debate over the roles of women in combat. ''We could do things that the males cannot do, and they are starting to realize that,'' says Sgt. Christine Baldwin, who like White was among the first groups of women deployed to Afghanistan this year as spe- cially trained ''cultural sup- port'' troops. Confidence in economy lowers NEW YORK (AP) — Americans say they feel worse about the economy than they have since the depths of the Great Reces- sion. And it's a bad time for a bad mood because house- holds are starting to make their holiday budgets. It might not be all doom and gloom, though. Some- times what people say about the economy and how they behave are two different things. Consumer confidence fell in October to the lowest since March 2009, reflecting the big hit that the stock market took this summer and frustration with an eco- nomic recovery that doesn't really feel like one. The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of consumer senti- ment came in at 39.8, down about six points from Sep- tember and seven shy of what economists were expecting. The reading is still well above where the index stood two and a half years ago, at 26.9. But it's not even with- in shouting distance of 90, what it takes to signal that the economy is on solid footing. 3 generations rescued from after quake ERCIS, Turkey (AP) — After 48 hours, a miracle emerged from the rubble: a 2-week-old baby girl brought out half-naked but alive from the wreckage of an apartment building top- pled by Turkey's devastating earthquake. Rescue workers erupted in cheers and applause Tues- day at sight of the infant — and again hours later when her mother and grandmother were pulled out, their sur- vival a ray of joy on an oth- erwise grim day. The death toll from Sun- day's 7.2-magnitude quake climbed to at least 459 as desperate survivors fought over aid and blocked aid shipments. A powerful aftershock ignited wide- spread panic that turned into a prison riot in a nearby provincial city. With thousands of quake survivors facing a third night out in the open in near-freez- ing temperatures, Turkey set aside its national pride and said it would accept interna- tional aid offers, even from Israel, with which it has had strained relations. Tuesday's dramatic res- cue of three generations of one family was all the more remarkable because the infant, Azra Karaduman, was declared healthy after being flown to a hospital in Ankara, the Turkish capital. Panel recommends boys get the HPV vaccine ATLANTA (AP) — The controversial HPV shot given to girls should also be given to boys, in part to help prevent the spread of the virus through sex, a govern- ment medical panel said Tuesday. The expensive vaccine, which protects females against cervical cancer, has- n't been popular. And doc- tors admit it will be a tough sell to parents of 11- and 12- year-old males, too. For males, the vaccine is licensed to prevent genital warts and anal cancer. Experts say another key benefit of routinely vacci- nating boys could be pre- venting the spread of the human papilloma virus to others through sex — mak- ing up somewhat for the dis- appointing vaccination rate in girls. The Advisory Commit- tee on Immunization Prac- tices made the recommen- dation Tuesday. Federal health officials usually adopt what the panel says and asks doctors and patients to fol- low the advice. The vaccine has been available to boys for two years but Tuesday's vote was the first to strongly rec- ommend routine vaccina- tion. Officials acknowl- edged the disappointing rate in girls encouraged them to take a new, hard look. 'Joe the Plumber'to launch bid for Congress TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Joe the Plumber is launch- ing his bid for Congress in Ohio. Samuel ''Joe'' Wurzel- bacher, who became a household name after ques- tioning Barack Obama about his economic policies during the 2008 presidential campaign, will make his announcement Tuesday night, a county Republican official told The Associated Press. Wurzelbacher already filed the paperwork to run as a Republican in Ohio's 9th U.S. House district, and he has set up a website to raise money. The seat is now held by Marcy Kaptur, the longest- serving Democratic woman in the House. She's expected to face a primary challenge from Rep. Dennis Kucinich after Ohio's redrawn con- gressional map combined their two districts into one that appears heavily tilted toward Democrats. Wurzel- bacher has become an icon for many anti-establishment conservatives and has trav- eled the country speaking at tea party rallies and conserv- ative gatherings.
