It's been slightly more than a year 
since teacher Wendy Portillo let her 
kindergarten students at Morning-
side Elementary in Port St. Lucie 
"vote" 5-year-okl Alex Barton out of 
her classroom. We said that Ms. For-
tino should not be allowed to teach 
again. We still think that reinstating 
— her is a mistake. 
But the district didn't 
fire her. And last week 
the St. Lucie County 
School 
Board 
unani-

Portillo's

long-term contract and 
place her on a year-to-
year contract that would have made it 
easier to dismiss her. The board, how-
ever. did vote to uphold Ms. Portillo's 
one-year suspension without pay. The 
suspension is over in November. 
The case attracted worldwide at-

Should Wendy Portillo be allowed back

Unseal the Epstein deal 
A rich, middle-aged Palm Beacher 
who preyed on girls almost 40 years 
younger already has received too 
many breaks from the system. He 
doesn't deserve another. 
In July 2008, at the age of 55 and 
after paying the equiva-
lent of a small country's 
gross domestic product 
in legal fees, Jeffrey 
Epstein escaped federal 
charges and pleaded 
guilty in state court to 
a pair of charges related 
to his luring five girls 
-ages 14 to 17 — to 
his house. The girls undressed and 
' massaged him in return for $200 to 
$300. He's serving only 18 months 
in the Palm Beach County Jail, and 
he's serving only nights. And now he 
wants just one more favor. 
When Epstein entered his state 
plea, the terms of his federal deal 
were sealed from the public. That 
violated normal procedures. Attor-
neys for some of the victims, who 
have filed civil lawsuits, want that 
plea deal unsealed, probably because 
the details would help their cases. 
But given the nature of this case, 
there's also a public interest. One con-
dition of the federal plea. for example. 
was that he take the state deal. That's 
why The Past also is seeking to have 
the file unsealed. Epstein's lawyers, 
Palm Beach sex offender 
deserves no more breaks. 
of course, want it kept secret. Last 
week, a Palm Beach County judge 
set a hearing for June 25. 
Epstein attorney Jack Goldberger 
claims that the file should stay sealed 
to protect the "orderly administration 
of justice" and "protect a compelling 
government interest." Oh, and third 
parties might get hurt. The compel-
ling interest is Epstein's, and there 
is no privacy issue since the victims 
themselves are making the request. 
Palm Beach police spent 11 
months investigating Epstein, only 
to see then-State Attorney Barry 
Krischer kick the case to a grand 
jury. Mr. Krischer backed off when 
one of Epstein's gold-plated attor-
neys, Alan Dershowitz announced 
that some of the victims had posted 
MySpace comments about their alco-
hol and marijuana use. 
Epstein's "best" defense has been 
that he didn't know the girls were 
underage. "How he verified that," 
Mr. Goldberger said, "I don't know." 
Investigators found a high school 
transcript in Epstein's house. He 
didn't know? The public should know 
what Jeffrey Epstein did, and what 
the system did for hint 
Improving flu symptoms 
Six area residents may not like it, 
but China's new attitude toward pub-
lic health will mean a safer world. 
In 2003, China drew justified 
criticism for trying to cover up an 
outbreak of severe acute respiratory 
syndrome, known as SARS. Authori-
ties worried that the news would hurt 
the country's economy. The issue 
showed the conflict between the 
information-repressing China and 
the sell-all-goods-to-the world China. 
When it came to public health, China 
couldn't have it both ways. 
As The Post has reported, some 
students from The Benjamin School 
were 
quarantined, with 
almost 
no notice, after being exposed to 
swine flu. A West Palm Beach ac-
countant who has swine flu also 
was quarantined. But last week, the 
World Health Organization declared 
a swine flu pandemic. China acted 
properly. What may seem like over-
reaction now looks good compared 
with the within-action six years ago. 
We must not be browbeaten 
into surrendering our best 
rhetoric, actions and images. 
We hold NO responsibility 
for this death.

A lot depends on what 
you mean by "government." 
If you are referring to the 
ways in which we collective-
ly seek the common good, 
government is all of us. and 
GM is our problem. 
The Obama administra-
tion got in the driver's seat 
hoping to avert runaway 
unemployment and prevent 
the public from being stuck 
with the autoworkers pen-
sions and medical care. The 
engine was shot, as it turned 
out, and the car has no 
brakes. We are getting the 
unemployment, and prob-
ably will end up with the 
pension'- and medical care,

was when GM had it.

Christ, health care no

bondholders. We will pay a 
price for stiffing lenders. 
and probably sooner rather 
than later. That is a moan for 
another column. 
For a while after World 
War II, American companies 
could be warm cocoons. 
They paid enough to clothe 
and feed a family, and then 
they provided more than 
ban. Social 
rity for old 
age and the kind of health 
care governments in other 
countries pay for with taxes. 
They even backed bowling 
leagues for the grown-ups 
and ball teams for the kids. 
Then America went back 
to Mr Baer's management 
theology and dropped the 
sissy stuff. A new genera-
tion of masters discovered 
outsourcing. We changed; 
GM couldn't. That's how we 
all ended up with it. 
The change is adored by 
people who would have only 
a 1-in-4 chance of inserting 
a time card correctly. They 
say health care can continue 
the way it has, with some 
tax tweaking even though 
the way it runs needs em-
ployers to pay for insurance, 
and increasingly they don't. 
Maybe I'm reading the 
wrong Web sites, but I see 
more sympathy for the 
downtrodden bankers who 
got us into the current mess 
than for the folks at GM who 
went down with the mess. 
The bankers took our mon-
ey, spent some of it lobbying 
against the common good. 
used their clout to clear the 
way back to greed with a 
half-baked "stress test" and 
now want our tears because 
we told them not to use our 
money to reward themselves 
the way that God in his infi-
nite wisdom wants them to 
be rewarded. 
As for 'the effort to find 
sugar and make lemonade 
out of GM, you can stand 
around screaming at "so-
cialism" or "Pelicsi, Pelosi, 
Pelosi" for all I care, until 
the rubes send money. But 
if you want Americans to 
have health care, you have 
to get it through either the 
government or companies 
like General Motors. And 
if you excoriate GM and its 
unions for their health care. 
you aren't going to get it 
through them for very long. 
You probably won't get it 
through them much longer 
anyway, whatever you do. So, 
what an, you going to do? 
While you think about 
it, let me recommend the 
article by Dr. Guy Clifton 
in the June 8.15 issue of 
America magazine. He tells 
the story of a friend who 
had to wait four months 
after the diagnosis of a life-
threatening disease for the 
paperwork to go through 
to allow her expensive sur-
gery. The "world's greatest 
health-care system" paid for 
the surgery, but too late. It 
lost the patient. Dr. Clifton 
counts her as one of 22,000 
uninsured Americans who 
die prematurely each year 
in our system. 
To the question of what 
you want to do, "nothing", 
should not be the answer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/Lifeguard layoffs 
Saving money not as important as saving swimmers 
Palm Beach County's lifeguards need a 
lifeline from the county commission. 
The recent Post story, "County's crunch: 
Layoffs, tax hikes," could have included 
more details about proposed layoffs of our 
ocean rescue lifeguards. The story stated 
that "several" ocean rescue lifeguards 
would be laid oft In this case, "several" 
means 36 of 83. These lifeguards protect 
hundreds of thousands of beach-goers. 
They warn us about sharks and rip tor-
rents. They save more lives than most of us 
know. The story stated that "an" ocean res-
cue chief would also be laid off. but there is 
only one ocean rescue chief. 
The city of Lake Worth returned to a full 
staff of ocean rescue lifeguards recently, 
after an ill-fated experiment of having none 
two days per week. Public outcry helped in 
the decision to return to full coverage. Palm 
Beach County has not had a drowning at a 
guarded county beach in at least a decade, 
and dozers of lives are saved by lifeguards 
each year. laying off one-third of our ocean 
rescue guards is a dangerous idea. Public 
safety is our first priority, and the Palm 
Beach County Commission must find a way 
to save our ocean rescue lifeguards.

lifeguard Rick Moore said it all: "Life-
guards do lots more than save swimmers. 
We warn beach-goers of rip currents, man 
o'svar and other dangers. We put up the 
flags for sea conditioas. We answer their 
questions. We treat injuries. Just us being 
there creates a feeling of security." ("4 Palm 
Beach County beaches lose lifeguards.") 
We are missing the big picture if we 
close more beaches and continue to cut 
lifeguards. Tourists flock to our beaches. 
The closure of four more beaches and staff 
cuts will signal a major accident waiting 
to happen. People will continue to visit the 
closed beaches, continue to swim and surf, 
and continue to meet tip with friends. Now 
a drowning will be the victim's own fault be-
cause he swam at a closed beach? I hope the 
county lawyers will be prepared to answer 
that question when the victim's family sues. 
The beach is one of the few places with-
out an admission charge. This poor deci-
sion is not really a surprise. We voted for 
those confusing amendments and officials 
who promised not to raise taxes. Like it or 
not, taxes keep this country functioning. 
All those services we enjoyed for so long 
are drying up, along with many people's 
lives. We will miss walking the beach.

another column. 
For a while after World 
War II. American companies 
could be warm cocoons. 
They paid enough to clothe 
and feed a family. and then 
they provided more than 
bare Social Security for old 
age and the kind of health 
care governments in other 
countries pay for with taxes. 
They even backed bowling 
leagues for the grown-ups 
and ball teams for the kids. 
Then America went back 
to Mr. Baer's management 
theology and dropped the 
sissy stuff. A new genera-
tion of masters discovered 
outsourcing We changed: 
GM couldn't. That's how we 
all ended up with it. 
The change is adored by 
people who would have only 
a 1-in-4 chance of inserting 
a time card correctly. They 
say health care can continue 
the way it has, with some 
tax tweaking, even though 
the way it runs needs em-
ployers to pay for insurance, 
and increasingly they don't. 
Maybe I'm reading the 
wrong Web sites, but I see 
more sympathy for the 
downtrodden bankers who 
got us into the current mess 
than for the folks at GM who 
went down with the mess. 
The bankers took our mon-
ey, spent some of it lobbying 
against the common good, 
used their clout to clear the 
way back to greed with a 
half-baked "stress test" and 
now want our tears because 
we told them not to use our 
money to reward themselves 
the way that God in his infi-
nite wisdom wants them to 
be rewarded. 
As for 'the effort to find 
sugar and make lemonade 
out of GM, you can stand 
around screaming at "so-
cialism" or "Pelosi. Pelosi. 
Pelosi" for all I care, until 
the rubes send money. But 
if you want Americans to 
have health care, you have 
to get it through either the 
government or companies 
like General Motors. And 
if you excoriate GM and its 
unions for their health care, 
you aren't going to get it 
through them for very long. 
You probably won't get it 
through them much longer 
anyway, whatever you do. So, 
what are you going to do? 
While you think about 
it, let me recommend the 
article by Dr Guy Clifton 
in the June 8-15 issue of 
America magazine. He tells 
the story of a friend who 
had to wait four months 
after the diagnosis of a life-
threatening disease for the 
paperwork to go through 
to allow her expensive sur-
gery. The "world's greatest 
health-care system" paid for 
the surgery, but too late. It 
lost the patient. Dr. Clifton 
counts her as one of 22,000 
uninsured Americans who 
die prematurely each year 
in our system. 
lb the question of what 
you want to do, "nothing", 
should not be the answer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/Lifeguard layoffs 
Saving money not as important as saving swimmers 
Palm Beach County's lifeguards need a 
lifeline from the county commission. 
The recent Post story, "County's crunch: 
layoffs, tax hikes," could have included 
more details about proposed layoffs of our 
ocean rescue lifeguards. The story stated 
that 'several" ocean rescue lifeguards 
would be laid off. In this case, "several" 
means 36 of 83. These lifeguards protect 
hundreds of thousands of beach-goers. 
They warn us about sharks and rip cur-
rents They save more lives than most of us 
know. The story stated that "an" ocean res-
cue chief would also be laid off, but there is 
only one ocean rescue chief. 
The city of Lake Abrth returned to a full 
staff of ocean rescue lifeguards recently, 
after an ill-fated experiment of having none 
two days per week. Public outcry helped in 
the decision to return to full coverage. Palm 
Beach County has not had a drowning at a 
guarded county beach in at least a decade. 
and dozens of lives are saved by lifeguards 
each year. Laying off one-third of our ocean 
rescue guards is a dangerous idea. Public 
safety is our first priority, and the Palm 
Beach County Commission must find a way 
to save our ocean rescue lifeguards.

Lifeguard Rick Moore said it all: "Life-
guards do lots more than save swimmers. 
We warn beach-goers of rip currents, man 
o'vrar and other dangers. We put up the 
flags for sea conditions. We answer their 
questions. We treat injuries. Just us being 
there creates a feeling of security." ("4 Palm 
Beach County beaches lose lifeguards?) 
We are missing the big picture if we 
close more beaches and continue to an 
lifeguard& lburists flock to our beaches. 
The closure of four more beaches and staff 
cuts will signal a major accident waiting 
to happen. People will continue to visit the 
closed beaches, continue to swim and surf, 
and continue to meet up with friends. Nov 
a drowning will be the victim's own fault be-
cause he swam at a closed beach? I hope the 
county lawyers will be prepared to answer 
that question when the victim's family sues 
The beach is one of the few places with-
out an admission charge. This poor deci-
sion is not really a surprise. We voted for 
those confusing amendments and officials 
who promised not to raise taxes. Like it or 
not, taxes keep this country functioning 
All those services we enjoyed for so long 
are drying up, along with many people's 
lives. We will miss walking the beach.

White House warms to co-op plan as health option 
Serving Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties. Authorized Dealer of PGT Windows & Doors 
A compromise would

with no direct control. 
The Aewerated Peru 
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. 
Congress begins work 
this wet* on 
putting Presi-
dent Obama's 
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 
Sibelius 
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, 
a matter of right or wrong," 
Conrad said. "This is a

President Mahmoud Ah-

outcome of the election in 
which Ahmadinejad was 
proclaimed the landslide

influential Guardian Coun-

Riots erupted for a sec-

heard in several locations 
in Tehran and unrest in

It has not yet acted,

Mousavi complained to

and the use of irregular

"Those who with great

That political situation

The Associated fins 
Every time you swipe 
your credit card and wait 
for the transaction to be 
approved, sensitive data 
including your name and 
account number are fer-
ried from store to bank 
through 
computer 
net-
works, each step a poten-
tial opening for hackers. 
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

companies are gambling 
with your personal data.

you can't be held liable

Even if your transaction 
isn't hacked, you still lose: 
Merchants pass to all their 
customers the costs they 
incur front 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. 
Credit card providers 
don't appear to be in a 
rush to tighten the rules. 
They sec fraud as a cost 
of doing business and say 
stricter security would 
throw sand into the gears 
of the payment system, 
which is built on speed, 
convenience and low cost. 
That is of little consola-

CIA chief chides Cheney's `gallows Politics 
W's almost as if he's 
wishing' for another 
US. attack, he says. 
The Assoroatrd iwu 
WASiiiNGTON 
— 
CIA 
Diretjor Leon 
Panetta 
says dormer Vice Presi-
dent 
Dick 
Cheney's 
eritioinn of the Obama 
.,dministrat ion's approach 
:0 ttsrrorism almost sug-
gesti: "he's wishing that 
this boentry would be at-
tackle again, in order to 
make his point." 
Panetta told The New 
Yorker for an article in its 
June 22 issue that Cheney 
"smons some blood in the 
water' on the issue of na-
tionaisecurity. 
Cheney has said in 
Panetta 
Cheney 
several interviews that he 
thinks Mama is making 
the US. less safe. 
He has been critical of 
Obama (or ordering the 
closure of the detention 
facility at 
Guantanamo 
Bay, halting enhanced in-
terrogations of suspected 
terrorists and reversing 
other Bush administration 
initiatives he says helped 
to prevent attacks on the 
US. 
Last month the former 
vice 
president 
offered 
a withering critique of 
Obama policies and a de-
fense of the Bush admin-
istration on the same day 
that Obama made a major 
speech about national se-
curity. 
Panetta said of Cheney's 
remarks: "It's almost, a 
little bit, gallows politics. 
When you read behind 
it, it's almost as if he's 
wishing that this country 
would be attacked again. 
in order to make his point. 
I think that's dangerous 
politics." 
Asked if he agreed with 
Panetta, Vice President 
Joe Biden told NBC's Meet 
the Press that he wouldn't 
question the motive be-
hind Cheney's criticism. 
"I think Dick Cheney's 
judgment about• how to 
secure America is faulty" 
Biden said. "I think our 
judgment is correct?

IN BRIEF 
U.S. signal locator to search 
for Air France jet's boxes 
SAO PAULO. Brazil — A 
Dutch ship towing a high-
tech, US. Navy listening 
device was set to troll 
the Atlantic on Sunday in 
search of data and voice 
recorders that investi-
gators say are key to 
determining what caused 
an Air France jet to crash 
in the Atlantic with 228 
people on board. 
The Navy device, 
called a Towed Finger 
Locator, will try to 
detect emergency audio 
beacons, or pings, from 
Flight 447's black boxes, 
which may he thousands 
of feet below the ocean 
surface. 
Without the recorders. 
it may be impossible to 
ever know what caused 
the Airbus A330 to crash 
several hundred miles 
off Brazil's northeastern 
coast on May 31.
Hearing to air VA 
hospital gear errors 
CHATTANOOGA, limn. 
— After months of health 
worries for more than 
10,000 veterans, officials 
at the Department of 
Veterans Affairs are to 
face a congressional panel 
Tuesday about mistakes 
they say may have ex-
posed patients to HIV and 
other infectious diseases 
from equipment used 
for colonoscopies and 
other procedures at three 
Southeast hospitals. 
The subcommittee 
scheduled Tuesday's 
hearing in Washington 
to discuss VA's disclosure 
involving endoscopic 
equipment mistakes at 
its hospitals in Miami. 
Murfreesboro, Tenn., and 
Augusta, Ga, with top 
agency officials and to 
receive a yet-unreleased

CIA fired firms 
aiding interrogations 
WASHING 
— Weeks 
after President Obama 
took office, the CIA ex-
tended its contract with a 
firm run by two psycholo-
gists who helped intro-
duce waterboarding and 
other harsh methods to 
the agency's interrogation 
techniques, according to 
a news report. 
Two months later, CIA 
Director Leon Panetta 
fired Mitchell, _lessen & 
Associates and all other 
contractors that aided the 
CIA in its interrogations 
of alleged terrorists, the 
New Yorker reported this 
weekend. 
The firings took place

NASA fixes leaky 
shuttle fuel tank 
The Associated hiss 
CAPE CANAVERAL —
NASA is repairing 
a 
leaky hydrogen gas line 
on Endeavour's fuel tank 
in hopes of launching the 
shuttle on its space sta-
tion construction mission 
Wednesday, four days after 
the first try was called off. 
Mother NASA mission. 
involving a pair of science 
spacecraft bound for the 
moon, is scheduled to 
blast off Wednesday. Top 
space agency officials will 
decide today whether to 
bump the moon mission to 
make way for Endeavour. 
Mission 
management 
team chairman LeRoy 
Cain said it's likely En-
deavour will go first — if 
the repair effort Rues well, 
no other shuttle problems 
crop up and the weather 
cooperates. 
A lot of things have to 
go our way," Cain said. 
Hydrogen gas began
leaking from a vent line

U.K. reports 1st swine flu death 
Scotland emphasizes 'that the risk 
to the general public remains low.' 
71tr Associated Pms 
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 U.K. total to 1,226 cases. 
"Tragic though today's death is, I 
would like to emphasize that the vast 
majority of those who have HIN1 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 Rart in slowing the 
spread of the virus by following simple 
hygiene pmeedures" 
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.

KABUL Afghanistan —
President Hamid Kauai 
told the incoming com-
mander of U.S. and NAM 
forces 
in 
Afghanistan 
on Sunday that the most 
important part of his new 
mission was to protect Af-
ghan civilians. 
Gen. Stanley McChrys-
tal takes up his command 
today. The four-star U.S. 
general, a former special 
forces commander, is ex-
pected to bring a fresh ap-

proach to an increasingly 
violent eight-year war. 
President Obama has 
increased the US. focus 
on Afghanistan this year. 
ordering 21,000 additional 
troops to the country as 
the US. military begins to 
pull out of Iraq. 
Civilian casualties have 
long been a point of fric-
tion between Karzai and 
the US., and the early 
warning reflects }Canals 
impatience over the con-
tinued killings of Afghan 
villagers during military 
operations. 
In May, dozens of civil-
ians were killed when US. 
and Afghan troops backed 
by US. fighter aircraft 
battled militants in south-
western Farah province. 
The Afghan government 
says 140 civilians died, 
while an Afghan human 
rights group says about 100 
were killed. The U.S., , how-
ever, says no more than 30 
civilians were killed, and

One giant leap for babykind 
CASIRILLL) de MURCIA. Spain — A man representing the devil jumps over 
babies Sunday in an act known as El Colacho during the Corpus Christi 
festivaL The rite is supposed to protect the children from evil spirits. 
Pakistan sends army to hunt Taliban chief 
The offensive is in an area where 
bin Laden also may be hiding. 
71rt Associated Mrs, 
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan or-
dered its army to go after the country's 
top Taliban commander, a feared militant 
whose remote stronghold could prove a 
difficult test for troops but whose demise 
would be a major blow to the insurgencies 
here and in Afghanistan. 
The announcement Sunday of the op-
eration in South Waziristan, rumored for 
weeks, came hours after a suspected US. 
missile strike killed five alleged militants 
there. The move will likely please Wash-
ington, which considers the tribal region 
a particularly troublesome hideout for Al-
Qaeda and Taliban fighters implicated in 
attacks on US. troops in Afghanistan. 
Owais Ghani, the governor of North 
West Frontier Province, told reporters in 
Islamabad late Sunday that the govern-
ment felt it had no choice but to resort 
to force against Pakistani Taliban chief 
Baitullah Mehsud and his network Pasi 
army action in the region had usually 
faltered or ended in truces. 
"Baitullah Mehsud is the root cause 
of all evils," Ghani said, noting a slew of 
suicide bombings that have shaken Paki-
stan in recent days. 
South Waziristan. part of Pakistan's 
semiautonomous tribal belt, is a rumored 
hideout of Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin 
Laden.

cart May 25 west of Jupiter

he 
needed 
emergency 
specialized burn care. He 
became the latest victim

Palm

the closest burn center 
'Certified by the American 
College of Surgeons. 
There are 53 such ern-

the centers are not certi-

Any person suffering

"More than any other 
kind of medicine, treat-
ment of burns is a teeth 
activity," 
Namias 
said. 
'"The doctor alone isn't 
that important." 
Namias said the popu-
lar perception is correct: 
Nothing causes more pain 
than burns. 
"Pain management is 
one of the most important 
things we do," he said. 
At first, most burn vic-
tims are heavily sedated 
to relieve the initial agony. 
For the majority, one of 
the first stops will be the 
operating room, where 
dead skin and tissue must 
be removed. For that, they 
are anesthetized in what 
otherwise would be an ex-
cruciating procedure.

skin harvested for grafts 
Prop° by JONI LAMTIGLA 
SPECIALIZED CARE: Physical therapist Orlando Sendon treats 
Burn Center patient Darryl mcietcnie, who suffered major burns 
to his arm and hand in an industrial accident. Burn victims are 
susceptible to infection. 
rious injuries must be 
treated: 
broken 
bones 
suffered in leaps from 
flaming houses or injuries 
incurred in car crashes. 
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. 
The 
bodies of burn victims 
often no longer recognize 
98.6 degrees as a normal

temperature and

mostats to as high as 101.5 
degrees. 
"l'hat means an in-
crease 
in metabolism, 
which means they need 
many more calories in or-
der to begin to heal," Nam-
ias said. "For major burns, 
we'll give them 3,500 
calories per day. If they 
could eat Whoppers, that 
would he easy, but many 
are so sedated, they can't 
eat, so we put it into them 
through Ws. 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," 
Namias said. "The house 
has burned down, and 
they have no home. 
"Maybe somebody else

we have lots of people who 
worry about the cat. 'No 
one has seen the cat.' " 
Burn victims often suf-
fer from post-traumatic 
stress syndrome, he said.

"We can save people 
with bums 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. 
"I 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 mast of his cases 
— smoking in bed, roofers 
pouring hot tat and espe-
cially people frying food. 
"Homemade 
french 
fries," he said, wincing. 
"My recommendation is if 
you want french fries, go to 
McDonald''."

Today's highlights 
Obama women get royal treatment First lady 
Michelle Obama, on a visit to London 
last week. got permission from Queen 
Elizabeth II for a guided tour of Bucking-
ham Palace with her daughters, Sasha 
and Malia. They were shown around the 
queen's official residence and its gardens. 
and the queen herself greeted them af-
terward, according to a royal source who 
spoke on condition of anonymity because 
the meeting was private. 
Nails In the coffin: Nine Inch Nails frontman Tfent 
Reznor said their performance Sunday at the Bonna-
roo Music Festival was their last in the country. The 
group performed in the early morning hours Sunday 
at the Manchester, Tenn., festival, shortly after Bruce 
Springsteen and the E Street Band wrapped up. "It 
just dawned on me that this is our last show ever in 
the United States," Reznor said. "Don't be sad. I'll 
keep going. But I think I'm going to lose my ... mind 
if 1 keep doing this, and I have to stop." 
Moviegoers still hung over: The Warner Bros. com-

the top box-office draw for a second straight weekend, 
according to studio estimates Sunday. Disney's latest

The Mondial Press 
NEW YORK — Christian 
"Hitsch" Albin, who fed 
the world's luminaries for 
decades as executive chef 
of The Four Seasons 
a 
restaurant 
that invented 
the 
"power 
lunch". — has 
died. He was 
61. 
Mr. Albin 
died at New 
York Univer-
sity Medical Center on 
Saturday, five days after 
being diagnosed 
with 
cancer. 
The Swiss-born chef's 
hearty laughter filled the 
ritzy Manhattan restau-
rant's kitchen for 36 years. 
He served guests from 
Jacqueline Onassis and 
Elton John to President 
Clinton, Princess Diana 
and Martha Stewart. 
'He was our hero: the 
man we always turned to 
when we knew we had to 
achieve the impossible," 
Mr. Albin 
said a statement released 
by the 50-year-old restau-
rant's managing partners, 
Julian Niccolini and Alex 
von Bidder. 
The "impossible" at 
times 
meant 
wealthy 
guests "who would ask for 
everything you can pos-
sibly imagine!" Mr. Albin 
joked recently. "Like, an 
English muffin with an 
egg on top, for dinner" 
He sent a waiter out to 
buy muffins — and the 
special request was served 
alongside fancier fare such 
as filet of buffalo. 
A bigger-than-life man, 
he put in 14-hour days at 
the restaurant off Park 
Avenue. With him in the 
kitchen, The Four Sea-
sons won a James Beard 
Award, equivalent to a 
culinary Oscar. 
The Four Seasons is an 
international publicity ma-
chine and, despite its age, 
still a place to be seen. It 
even earned landmark 
status in 1989.

Circuit's goal: Ensure people not `deer in headlights' 
► COURTS/Tom IA 
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 RealtyTtac 
released Thursday. 
During the spring ses-
sion that ended last month, 
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 
appmved just two foreclo-
sure-related bills: one to 
comply with new mini-
mum federal regulations 
for lenders and another 
to increase court costs 
for foreclosure cases from 
5300 to as much as $1,900. 
The state "should have 
done more." said state 
Chief Financial Officer 
Alex Sink, a Democrat 
running for governor.

The Florida Supreme Courts Task Force on Residential 
Mortgage Foreclosure Cases is planning to recommend 
changes to foreclosure procedures and is asking 
homeowners to share their experiences with borrowers, 
mortgage holders and attorneys involved in the process.

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 find 
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

the holidays last year and 
ultimately settled on a vol-
untary moratorium. Crises 
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 
protect ions for people with 
subprime loans. 
Lawmakers 
did 
not 
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 200Z said home-
owners facing foreclosure 
need to be more proactive 
with their lenders. "In 
many cases the lender can 
and will work this out," he 
said. 
Several states, includ-
ing Ohio and New Jersey, 
have implerhented 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 
homeowner'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

U.S. calls move `important step, 
I" ISRAEL from IA 
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-
i 
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 Netanyahu's 
support 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 Obarna 
'welcomes Prime Minister 
Netanyahu's 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, "the 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 Rank, 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 
spoke about negotiations, 
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 
Aka SCI4Allifint Wound Press 
Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest after Israeli Prime Minister 
Benjamin Netanyahu's speech Sunday at Bar Ban University. 
a viable, independent and 
sovereign 
Palestinian 
state impossible." 
Palestinian negotiators 
have long refused to rec-
ognize Israel as a Jewish 
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-
yahu's 
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 
Israel. 
"It was a balanced 
speech that the coalition 
can live with." said Efraim 
Inbar, the director of the 
Begin-Sadat Center. 
Contrary to the ex-
pectations of many he.
Netanyahu did not ,riQce

described it is one of the 
greatest challenges face

Attorney seeks to prevent billionaire Epstein from 
hiding assets abroad 
By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEI. 
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer 
Monday, June 22, 2009 
WEST PALM BEACH — An attorney representing one of the passel of young 
women now suing billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is asking a federal judge to appoint a 
receiver to take over Epstein's property to prevent him from hiding or transferring 
assets abroad. 
Ca PRINTTHIS 
Bradley Edwards also has asked that the receiver order Epstein post a $15 million bond to ensure money 
is available if the women prevail in their lawsuits seeking damages because of the sexual contact they 
say Epstein had with them as minors. 
Jeffrey Epstein 
Billionaire 
financier 
Jeffrey 
Epstein has 
been 
sentenced to 18 months 
for felony solicitation of 
prostitution following 
accusations by teen girls.

In a request entered into 
the court record Friday, 
Edwards wrote that 
Epstein, a man of 
"phenomenal wealth," now 
faces more than two dozen 
lawsuits. The woman he 
represents is seeking more 
than $50 million in 
damages. 
"Accordingly, Epstein has 
currently pending against 
him lawsuits seeking more 
than $1 billion in damages. 
He thus faces financial 
ruin," Edwards wrote to

allowed out of the Palm 
Beach County Stockade 
each day to work at his office, he has the skill, the means and motive to be transferring assets abroad. 
Epstein is serving an 18-month sentence in the stockade after pleading guilty nearly a year ago to state 
charges of felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. Epstein is allowed 
out of the stockade, though, each day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., a spokeswoman for the sheriffs office 
recently said. 
The saga began years ago after Town of Palm Beach police investigated reports that young women were 
being brought to Epstein's manse on El Brillo Way to massage him and have sex with him in exchange 
for money. 
Attorneys representing the women have questioned Epstein about his sexual activities with their clients 
as well as his finances. Epstein has responded by invoking his right to remain silent and not incriminate 
himself. 
"The silence in the face of these questions speaks far louder than words," Edwards wrote. "As Justice 
Brandeis recognized long ago 'Silence is often evidence of the most persuasive character.' "This is 
plainly one of those situations." 
An attomey who represented Epstein during the questioning, Robert D. Critton Jr. of West Palm Beach, 
did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment. 
On Thursday, Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath, will consider whether to unseal a deferred-prosecution 
agreement Epstein entered with federal prosecutors. Attorneys have said that they seek to unseal that 
document in part to use it in striking at Epstein's right to remain silent.
