While playing with childhood toys is just a trip down

memory lane or most people, one man made tinkering

with toys his career.

Tony Morley, and his wie Taia, design and invent

toys or a living. Tobbles, the toy Morley created, was

nominated to win Toy o the Year. The toy allows play-

ers to nest dierent-sized spheres on top o each other.

The Fat Brain Toy Co. website describes it as a toy

where physics interplays with design perection. Cre-ativity, experimentation and innovative play take on a

new spin.

Rope swings and zip lines probably arent part o

the typical home, but or Emma Morley, the daughter

o Tony and Taia Morley, those werent even the cool-

est things at home growing up. Growing up in a home

with a Dad and Mom as toy inventors and artists was.

She describes her home as ull o un, with interesting

objects always lying around.

I call it a black hole or stu because there are so

many trinkets and gadgets in our home that my par-

ents collect because theyll think its a neat idea or de-

sign and get ideas rom it, she said, so we just have

lots o stu in the house to play with.

Tony Morley says the reason he went into toy desig n-

ing is because it was the one thing he was halway de-

cent at.

I was a mediocre designer and it just seemed to

work, he said.

Tony Morley said he gets his inspiration rom hisown childhood memories and experiences, and his

WASHINGTON A clearly divided

Supreme Court cast serious doubts on

the Obama administrations signature

health care law Tuesday, emboldening

the Republicans who now are eagerly

campaigning to kill it.

In a historic clash that oreshadows

a close election-year decision, justices

revealed sharp splits about whether

Congress went too ar in mandating

that U.S. residents buy health insur-

ance or pay a penalty. But while the

just ices appe ar as divi ded as the

country itsel, skepticism dominated

during the unusually long oral argu-

ments.

The ederal government is not sup-

posed to be a government that has all

powers, Justice Antonin Scalia said.

Its supposed to be a government o

limited powers. I the government

can do this, what else can it not do?

Scalia sounded unrelievedly dubi-

ous about the health care law, as did

his conservative colleague Justice

Samuel Alito and, to a somewhat less-

er extent, Chie Justice John Roberts.

In a potentially sobering sign or

the Obama administration, even the

justice most commonly considere d to

be a swing vote made pointed obser-

vations about the insurance-buying

mandate.

When you are changing the rela-

tionship o the individual to the gov-

ernment in this unique away, do

you not have a heavy burden o justi-

fcation to show authorization under

the Constitution? Justice Anthony

Kennedy pressed the admini strations

Technology used in rocket science

may soon be used in the treatment o

breast cancer, thanks to a UVU pro-

essor.

Timothy Doyle, an assistant physics

proessor at UVU, has turned experi-

ence rom ATK Thiokol into applicable

techniques to use i n cancer surgery.

Currently, surgeons arent able to esti-

mate specifcally the amount o tissue

to remove in addition to the cancer.

They must instead conduct lombecto-

mies, during which they remove the

lump and two millimeters around the

area. Several lombectomies are per-

ormed or cancer patients to ensure

the complete removal o the malig-

nant tissue, and at times, the whole

breast must be removed.

However, the technology Doyle

has worked on since 2004 will allow

YESTERDAY TODAY WEDNESDAY

BRIEFING

The world is our campus

deaths were caused by the fire, which has

grown to about 7 square miles.

The fire is burning several miles and moun-

tain ridges west of Denvers tightly populated

southwestern suburbs, which are not under

threat. The area of pines and grassland is moun-

tainous and sparsely populated, dotted with

hamlets and the occasional expensive home. It is

about 25 miles southwest of Denver at an altitude

that ranges from 7,000 to 8,200 feet.

About 900 homes have been evacuated and

the residents of another 6,500 houses were

warned to be ready to evacuate on Tuesday.

CONIFER, Colo. (AP) The bodies of a

man and a woman have been found at one of 16

homes destroyed by a wildfire that has forced

hundreds to flee the mountainous area south-

west of Denver, authorities said Tuesday. A

third person was missing from the same area

where the man and woman were found.

The body of a woman was found outside the

burned home on Monday evening and a mans

body was found inside on Tuesday, said Daniel

nation ahead of a visit with the islands presi-

dent on Tuesday. Communist leaders had a

quick response: No to political reform.

Benedict visited the shrine of the nations

patron saint, the Virgin of Charity of Cobre,

and spent moments in prayer before the

diminutive wooden statue. In subtle ways, the

pope has acknowledged a lack of faith in what

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) A Libyan health

official said Tuesday that at least 50 people

have been killed in two days of tribal clashes in

southern Libya on the same day that another

official was reported kidnapped in the north.

The tribal violence prompted the resigna-

tion of the deputy chairman of the Libyan

governing council in protest over his bodys

inability to impose its rule on the country.

The resignation, kidnapping and deadly bat-

tles underline the fragile nature of Libya after

the fall of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi.

A s s o c i a t e d P r e s s

SEOUL, South Korea

Speaking to the microphones

intentionally this time, Presi-

dent Barack Obama on Tues-

day assured he had no hidden

agenda with Russia for a sec-

ond term, seeking to contain a

controversial gaffe that bound-

ed all the way to the campaign

trail at home and back again.

Obama got caught on tape

Monday telling Russian Presi-

dent Dmitry Medvedev that he

would have more room to nego-tiate on missile defense after

getting through a November

election, presumably expect-

ing to win and not have to face

voters again.

Obamas Republican rivals

back home pounced, accus-

ing him of secretive plotting

and dealing over American

national security. So one day

later, with Medvedev at his side

again, Obama tried some on-

the-record candor and humor

to put it all to rest.

The presidents explanation:

He wants to work with Russia

on the deeply divisive issue of

a missile defense shield in Eu-

rope, knowing only by building

trust first on that matter can hemake gains on another goal of

nuclear arms reductions. And

theres no way to expect prog-

ress during the politics of this

election year, so he is already

looking to 2013.

This is not a matter of hid-

ing the ball, Obama said, well

aware of criticism erupting at

home. Im on record.

Still, Obama had not meant

for his initial political assess-

ment to be heard. It was picked

up by live microphones during

a meeting with Medvedev and

soon shot around the world.

This is my last election,

Obama was heard telling Med-

vedev, Russias outgoing presi-

dent. After my election, I have

more flexibility.

Obama showed up at a nu-

clear security summit ready

to clarify his caught-on-tape

words even at the risk of over-

shadowing his message for a

second day. He fielded a ques-

tion but failed to address the

presumptuousness of plot-

ting 2013 strategy with Rus-

sia when, in fact, he must win

election again for any of that to

matter.

For Russia, the issues of nu-

clear weapons reduction and the

proposed missile shield are re-

lated. Russian fears of new U.S.

missiles at its doorstep in Eu-

rope have helped to stymie fur-

ther progress on nuclear arms

reductions after a breakthrough

agreement two years ago.

Obama said he wants to

spend the rest of this year

working through technical is-

sues with the Russians, and

said it was not surprising that

a deal couldnt be completed

quickly.

I dont think its any sur-

prise that you cant start that a

few months before presidential

and congressional elections in

the United States, and at a time

when they just completed elec-

tions in Russia, and theyre in

the process of a presidential

transition, Obama told re-

porters. He spoke after mak-

ing a separate announcementon nuclear security.

The president also sought

twice to use humor to dispense

with the controversy.

Before taking his seat at the

nuclear summit, he caught

Medvedevs eyes and said

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Obama

then covered up his micro-

phone in jest, enjoying a hearty

laugh and handshake with the

Russian leader.

And when he decided to offer

his explanation about the flap,

Obama said, First of all, are

the mics on?

Obamas candid remarks

Monday illustrated the po-

litical constraints that hem in

any president who is runningfor re-election and dealing with

a congressional chamber in

this case, the House con-

trolled by the rival party.

Republicans have fought

Obama fiercely on health care,

taxes and other issues. They

are eager to deny him any po-

litical victories in a season

in which they feel the White

House is within reach.

Neither Obama nor Med-

vedev knew they were being

heard when they conferred qui-

etly at what was billed as their

last meeting of Medvedevs

presidency. He leaves office in

May, to be replaced by the in-

coming Vladimir Putin.

According to ABC News,

Medvedev replied in English:

I understand. I will transmit

this information to Vladimir.

Obama said the way the Re-

publicans seized on his com-

ments only made his point

that the atmosphere is too po-

liticized right now to advance

arms control with Russia.

The only way I get this stuff

done is if Im consulting with

the Pentagon, if Im consulting

with Congress, if Ive got bipar-

tisan support, and the current

environment is not conducive

to those kinds of thoughtful

consultations, Obama said. I

think well do better in 2013.

There, again, Obamas re-

marks suggested he feels good

about his re-election prospects.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. Un-

der pressure to help unify his

party, Republican presidential

hopeful Newt Gingrich pledged

Tuesday to support Mitt Rom-

ney if the former Massachusetts

governor wins enough conven-

tion delegates to clinch the nom-

ination by the end of the GOP

primary season in June.

If Romney falls short, I

think youll then have one ofthe most interesting, open con-

ventions in American history,

the former House speaker said

as he campaigned for votes in

next weeks Maryland primary.

Gingrich is short on funds,

and his hopes for a Southern-

based comeback in the race

were all but extinguished by ri-

val Rick Santorums recent vic-

tories in Mississippi, Alabama

and Louisiana. Even so, has

insisted he plans to campaign

actively into the party conven-

tion, which begins on Aug. 27 in

Tampa, Fla.

He signaled his change in re-

marks to reporters. If Romney

gets the 1,144 delegates needed

for the nomination by the timeof the Utah primary on June 26,

Gingrich said, obviously I wi ll

support him and will be delight-

ed to do anything I can to help

defeat Barack Obama.

Gingrich and Santorum have

both come under increased

pressure from some Republi-

cans in recent weeks to swing

behind Romney, who is on trackto pick a majority of delegates

before the primaries end with

the vote in Utah.

Gingrich has tried to position

himself as an anti-establish-

Gingrich pledges to support Romney

ment figure in the race for the

nomination, and has bristled

at the devastating attacks

that Romney and a Romney-

aligned super political actioncommittee unleashed at him

at key moments in the cam-

paign.

Yet as a former House

speaker, he is also aware of the

importance of party unity as

the general election campaign

comes into view.

Romney is the front-runner

with 568 delegates, based on a

tally by The Associated Press.

That is slightly less than half

the needed 1,144 delegates, and

more than four times as many

delegates as Gingrich, who

has 135.

Gingrich has struggled

since his campaign peaked

just before the Iowa caucuses

kicked off the nominating pro-

cess in January. He has won

just two contests in South

Carolina and his Georgia

home state.His campaign listed more

than $1.5 million in outstand-

ing debt by the end of Febru-

ary, according to Federal

Election Commission filings,

including legal fees and ad-

vertising production costs.

At the same time, Gingrich

had about $1.5 million cash on

hand the lowest of the four

GOP candidates.

Maryland, where registered

Democrats outnumber Repub-

licans by a 2-to-1 margin, has

drawn unusual attention from

the from the GOP presidential

candidates. The state has 37

delegates at stake in its pri-

mary next Tuesday.

own gooy thinking.

Ive always been perceived

by riends and amily to be a lit-

tle o center, he said. I nd it

helpul to be a little askew romthe norm. Its also helpul to not

be too grown up.

While he said it was un,

Tony Morley said there also has

to be a balance between those

thoughts and how you act as an

adult.

Its kind o dangerous be-

cause I like to keep a sense o

play about me, and i you do

that too much, it damages your

credibility when you dont want

to be compromised, he said.

Creativity, he said, has to be

controlled.

Being able to tap in the child

in you is not creative, its just

immature, and thats not good,

he said. There needs to be a

reasonable sense o responsibil-

ity and childhood playulness.

Sometimes they go in hand,

childlike thinking and creativ-

ity but not always.Creativity wasnt something

Tony Morley wanted to describe,

because he elt it boxed him in.

Instead, he borrowed a quote

rom J. Robert Oppenheimer,

ather o the atomic bomb.

I could solve my most com-

plex problems in physics i I had

not given up ways o thinking

common to children at play,

Oppenheimer said.

Tony Morley said everyone

has the potential to create.

I think everybody is creative

but some o us have orgotten or

have become discouraged, he

said.

While he doesnt know how

he continues to come up with

new ideas, Tony Morley said he

makes a decent living at it.

I I knew how to do it better,

Id do it, he said. Usually Im

almost always unsuccessul,but once in a while it works and

keeps us going.

He said its un to see his cre-

ations on a shel in a store, to see

people play with them and hear

about them, but just making a

contribution to the world is also

satisying.

Tony Morley talked about his

dreams, including the coolest

toy he hasnt yet invented.

I want to make an anti-grav-

ity toy, he said. But I have a

closet ull o toys that will never

be manuactured.

Emma Morley said her dad

sometimes would test out his

ideas on her siblings and her.

There are lots o things he

has conjured up in his brain

that I have no idea about, she

said. He just sent me a proto-

type o a game that he wants

my roommates and I to test out.Emma Morley said her Dad

is always looking or un things

or people to do, like group ac-

tivities. She said hell ask unny

questions when he rst meets

people to get them to laugh.

Hes always trying to nd

ways to have people laugh and

have un, so I guess that trans-

lates to his job, she said. I

think theres denitely a child

in there. Hes very wise and ma-

ture, but he denitely still has a

child inside o him, but he also

knows when to harness it.

Fat Brain Toy Co. is the com-

pany that produced Tobbles.

The company develops a broad

range o products but ocuses on

educational building toys.

Eric Quam, director o prod-

uct development, said they were

delighted and elt it was a great

honor to have one o their toysbe nominated as Toy o the Year

in the specialty category. Quam

said Morley rst submitted the

idea in 2010, and the company

then went through several it-

erations and designs to t the

companys line o products. A-

ter releasing it in 2011, the toy

turned out to be such a success

the company released a new

version this year called Tobbles

Neo.

Tobbles is an interesting

phenomenon in that executives

play it at their desk, he said. It

is at home on your mantle piece

as much as in your board room

or play room. Its a toy that is

also a piece o art.

Quam said it has been a good

experience working with Mor-

ley over the past couple o years.

He has a great eye or design

and aesthetic, and is very muchin line with what were doing at

Fat Brain Toy Co., he said.

Asked i he had any words o

advice to students who might

want to go into toy design, Tony

Morley said it wasnt the best

career option.

Go ahead and invent toys,

but get a real job too, he said.

on the project.

Perry Carter, a retired BYU

proessor, volunteered to lead the

project years ago. BYU owned a

car they ormerly used in an elec-

tric racing series and decided to

convert the car to a new project.

Interestingly enough, Carter nev-

er considered himsel much o a

car guy. Instead, he said he just

wanted to create an opportunity

or students.

Robbie Petterborg is one stu-

dent who took advantage o the

opportunity. While Petterborg

had a background in cars prior to

working on the electric vehicle,

he never had serious restrictions

to work under. The team work-

ing on Electric Blue had a goal to

set a world record or a specic

weight class. This meant the

team would have constraints as

it worked with the vehicle.

Its not hard to build a very

ast car, Petterborg said. Itshard to build a very ast car thats

very small and very light.

Petterborg spoke o his expe-

rience with the electric vehicle

as something setting the path

or his career. While he said he

doesnt have a antastic grade

point average, doors are opening

or him in the orm o job oers

and internships.

I can pretty much get whatev-

er job I want, he said. Ive had

three job oers already when I

have a year to go beore gradua-

tion.

Kelly Hales, an electrical en-

gineering student rom Tucson,

Ariz., decided to return to school

with a goal o working on elec-

tric cars. He saw Electric Blue

on Brigham Square and imme-

diately got involved.

Hales has been a member o

the crew working on the car lon-

ger than any o the students cur-

rently on the team. Hales was a

member o the team when the

car fipped while going 180 mphon the salt fats in their previous

attempt to break a world record,

but stayed around long enough to

see the car break a world record.

While the car set a record, Hales

believes there is more to accom-

plish.

We eel the car has more,

and the driver eels the car has

more, Hales said.

While Hales talked about is-

sues with the car and how its

a work in progress, he and the

crew took encouragement rom

the project being eatured in

Popular Science.

Popular Science is pretty

mainstream, he said. Its a pret-

ty big thing to be on the cover.


surgeons to be more specic in

the removal o the cancer.

The whole idea is so the

surgeon can know how much

to take out and nothing more,

Doyle said.

Doyle was working at ATK

Thiokol, an aerospace com-

pany, when his wie was diag-

nosed with cancer. The doctors

told her it was terminal and she

would have a year to live. How-

ever, they discovered through

other doctors and several clini-

cal trials the cancer wasnt

what they thought.

She later recovered, but the

issue became personal. Doylewas working with rockets and

technology that could predict

the microscopic structure o

rocket propellant. The connec-

tion seemed simple to him.

I thought, well, this could be

applied to human tissue, Doyle

said.

Doyles knowledge o rocket

propellant cells translated into

molecular study o human tis-

sue. He began development o

technology that would map the

cancer area and analyze how

much tissue has been inected.

With help rom Dr. Leigh Neu-

mayer, a surgeon at the Hunts-

man Cancer Center, the theory

was translated into application.

As opposed to waiting a ew

days or weeks to know i thecancer is gone, doctors will be

able to know within minutes

i more tissue needs to be re-

moved.

Its more like using the ul-

trasound as an analytical tool to

determine what tissue is there,

Doyle said.

Whats even more unique

about Doyles research is the

participants.

Doyle worked with several

undergraduate students in

the process o this technology.

From the publication in a can-

cer research journal, to patent

licensing on the technology,

Doyle has had students everystep o the way.

Matthew Grover, a junior

rom Roosevelt studying phys-

ics at UVU, helped Doyle build

mathematical models.

These models improve the ac-

curacy o the machines predic-

tions. He said the work he has

done with Doyle has been a rare

and rewarding opportunity.

Without this, I really

wouldnt have gained an under-

standing or knowledge o phys-

ics, Grover said.

As a result o FDA process-

es and approvals, these new

methods may not be available

anywhere between ve and 10

years.

Doyle said he is excited thisnew technology will not only

be aster but more aordable

as well.

Without so many return vis-

its, patients will be able to be

rid o the cancer quicker and at

less o a hit to their wallet. Neu-

mayer said this is also thanks to

the level at which the surgeons

will be dealing with the cancer.

Violins. French Horns.

Trumpets. Flutes. These in-

struments and more joined

forces Tuesday for an assem-

bly by the School of Music.

BYU students had the opportu-

nity to experience the sounds

of orchestral pieces performedby the BYU Philharmonic Or-

chestra and the BYU Chamber

Orchestra in the Marriott Cen-

ter.

The assembly began with

the director of orchestras in

the School of Music, Kory Kat-

seanes, addressing the audi-

ence.

How we [in the School of

Music] do is more important

than what we do, he said.

Katseanes encouraged stu-

dents to open their minds to all

types of music, instead of just

what they are used to. He also

encouraged students to seek

good and truth through music.

After the directors brief

comments, the orchestras be-

gan playing together. Their

first piece was Jesu, Joy of

Mans Desiring, composed by

Johann Sebastian Bach. While

composed for performance

with a choir, the orchestra

performed it alone. The song,

popular around the Christmas

season, has words centered

around Christ. After intro-

ducing the piece, Katseanes

encouraged students to find

truth through the message of

the song.

The second piece the mu-

sicians played was the first

movement from Mozarts

Symphony No. 40., Molto, Al-

legro. This composition, ac-

cording to Katseanes, is one

of the most well-known pieces

of music. Katseanes encour-

aged students to ponder deep

elements of life, including love

and beauty, while listening to

the performance of the piece.

The third piece was mainly

performed by the string sec-

tions and had a darker sound

than the previous two pieces.

Composed by Edward Elgar,

Nimrod from Enigma Vari-

ations is commonly used for

funerals because of its pro-foundly moving and comfort-

ing sound.

Im hoping you hear the

truth in this type of music,

Katseanes said of Nimrod.

The fourth and final piece

Rachel Carsons book Si-

lent Spring helped launch the

environmental movement, a

scientist told a BYU audience

Tuesday.

Peter Kareiva, chief scientist

for the Nature Conservancy,

gave an address explaining the

progression of environmental-

ism since the golden decadefrom 1965 to 1975.

He said legislation such as

the Clean Air Act, Clean Water

Act and Endangered Species

Act can be traced back to Car-

sons book, published in 1962.

This was one woman who

changed the world, Kareiva

said. When she published Si-

lent Spring, there was very

little environmental awareness,

we didnt have the endangered

species list, the Water Quality

Act, any of that.

Kareiva said things have

changed since the books pub-

lication.

Now, if you pause and move

50 years forward and think

about where we are now, I think

if you honestly ask yourself and

read newspapers, the environ-

mental conservation movement

is weaker than its been in 40years, Kareiva said.

Kareiva outlined and cri-

tiqued a few examples of the

environmental conservation

movement. He used the example

of the well-known Henry David

Thoreau and his work.

His mother came and did

his laundry every weekend,

Kareiva said. Even I could be a

mountain man too if my mother

did my laundry for me.

Kareiva said the environ-

ment is often described as

fragile but is actually very

resilient

We can damage nature,

and we have to find out when

we damage it so much that it

breaks, Kareiva said. But, its

not some delicate, fragile flower.

It can be quite resilient.

He said that despite natures

resiliency, environmental con-servation often takes on a doom

and gloom perspective.

If Martin Luther King was

an environmentalist, he would

not have given an I have a

dream speech, hed have given

an I have a nightmare speech,

Kareiva said.

Kareiva said the future of

conservation does not need to

be so full of doom and gloom,

but instead has potential.

The future is this, these are

the words, restore, reconnect,

people, communities, growth

opportunities, technology for

nature, green business, Ka-

reiva said. Thats the future for

conservation that will work.

Kareiva said no matter what

humans do, they will still leave

a mark on the world. But, this is

not something to be depressed by.

I know it seems a little de-pressing to some that no mat-

ter where you go in the world,

you can find the footprint of

humans, Kareiva said. That

might be depressing, but get

over it. Theres still a lot of

beauty in nature.

Kareiva said that with 90

percent of Americans living in

cities, people need to make an

effort to appreciate nature in

their cities.

Lets treasure and embrace

nature in our cities, he said.

Its not just nature out there in

Yellowstone, its nature in the

cities.

LAHORE, Pakistan It was

barely 4 a.m. when 19-year-old

Rinkal Kumari disappeared

from her home in a small village

in Pakistans southern Sindh

province. When her parents

awoke they found only her slip-

pers and a scarf outside the door.A few hours later her father got

a call telling him his daughter, a

Hindu, had converted to Islam to

marry a Muslim boy.

Only days later, Seema Bibi,

a Christian woman in the prov-

ince of Punjab, was kidnapped

along with her four children af-

ter her husband couldnt repay a

loan to a large landlord. Within

hours, her husband was told his

wife had converted to Islam and

wouldnt be coming home. Seema

Bibi escaped, fled the village and

has gone underground with her

husband and children.

Hindu and Christian repre-

sentatives say forced conver-

sions to Islam have become the

latest weapon of Islamic extrem-ists in what they call a growing

campaign against Pakistans

religious minorities, on top of

assassinations and mob intimi-

dation of houses of worship. The

groups are increasingly wonder-

ing if they still have a place in

Pakistan.

It is a conspiracy that Hindus

and Christians and other mi-

norities should leave Pakistan,

says Amar Lal, the lawyer repre-

senting Kumari in the Supreme

Court. As a minority, we feel

more and more insecure. It is

getting worse day by day.

In the last four months, Lal

said, 51 Hindu girls have been

forcibly converted to Islam in

southern Sindh province, wheremost of Pakistans minority Hin-

du population lives. After Ku-

mari disappeared from her home

on Feb. 24, Azra Fazal Pachuho, a

lawmaker and the sister of Paki-

stans President Asif Ali Zardari,

told Parliament that Hindus in

southern Sindh were under at-

tack by Islamic extremists.

Kumaris family has gone to

the Supreme Court to get their

daughter back. But the case is

hotly contested by the Muslim

family, who say Kumaris con-

version was voluntary. They say

the couple had known each other

and exchanged Facebook mes-

sages and phone calls before she

converted and they married.

On Monday, the SupremeCourt ordered Kumari kept in a

womens shelter in southern Ka-

rachi until it resumes hearing

the case on April 18.

Christian and Hindu girls are

targeted more and more, says

Father Emmanuel Yousaf, who

heads the National Commission

for Justice and Peace, an orga-

nization born out of the Catholic

Bishops Conference.

Yousaf, in the Punjabi capital

of Lahore, said his group was

helping Seema Bibi and a num-

ber of other Christians who had

to leave their villages because of

threats from extremists. Some of

them were girls who were forc-

ibly converted and others, he

said, were falsely accused of act-

ing against Islam for allegedly in-

sulting the Prophet Muhammad

or abusing the Quran.

There are dozens of cases of

minorities being accused of in-

sulting Islam under the countrys

controversial blasphemy laws.

Often the cases are rooted in dis-

putes with Muslim neighbors or

as coercion to convert, and judgesoften feel intimidated by extrem-

ists into convicting accused

blasphemers, said Yousaf. They

know where you live and where

your children go to school, he

said.

Roughly five percent of Paki-

stans 180 million people belong

to minority religions, which

include Hindu, Christian, Shi-

ite Muslims and Ahmadis, ac-

cording to the CIA World Fact-

book. Ahmadis are reviled by

mainstream Muslims as her-

etics. Over recent years, violence

against the minorities has in-

creased, as Islamic hard-liners

influence over the country has

strengthened.

In May 2010 gunmen ram-paged through an Ahmadi place

of worship in Lahore, killing 93.

In February this year, gunmen

stopped four buses in northern

Pakistan, picked out those with

Shiite-sounding names and shot

them to death, killing 18. Last

year, a provincial governor who

criticized the blasphemy laws

was killed by his own bodyguard,

and the governments only Chris-

tian Cabinet minister also

an opponent of the laws was

gunned down by militants.

In Pakistan ones religious

faith, or lack of one, has become

sufficient to warrant execution

and murder, Pervez Hoodbhoy,

a physicist and peace activist

wrote in a column earlier this

month. The killers do their job

fearlessly and frequently.

The violence has cowed Paki-

stans liberals and frightens even

many Muslims.

Extremism is a problem that

is not just targeting the minori-

ties. It is now a general problem

in our society, said Ijaz Haider,

whose Jinnah Institutes websitecarries an Extremism Watch

documenting cases of attacks

and intimidation by militants.

The liberal mindset has had a

severe setback and the govern-

ment has no strategy. It tries to

do damage control, and dam-

age control is to placate these

groups.

Critics say the government is

too afraid and weak to respond or

in some cases is even complicit as

it panders to extremist groups for

votes.

A report released last week by

Yousafs justice and peace com-

mission laid out a series of grim

statistics about minority women

in Pakistan. The study surveyed

1,000 women, three-quarters ofwhom said they had been sexu-

ally harassed at the workplace,

discriminated against in schools

or pressed by teachers to convert

to Islam.

Yet they rarely complained.

They sense security in being si-

lent as disclosing it might bring

shame on themselves and their

family, the report said.

Mohyuddin Ahmad, the infor-

mation secretary for the Punjab

Provincial government, says

politicians and police are afraid.

If you are killed by a terror-

ist, no one will come for condo-

lences, he said.

Even incremental steps have

to be taken slowly and silently

so as not to ignite a fire storm by

extremists, said Ahmad.

The provincial government

has quietly sought to increase

womens participation in the

work force, he said. It requires

that a third of the members on

government corporations and

boards be women; all govern-

ment offices must have day care

centers; 15 percent of all govern-ment jobs have to go to women;

free land given to the poor is

shared 50/50 by husband and

wife; and acid throwing on a

woman is now a terrorist act.

But incessant bickering

among political parties, the ju-

diciary, federal government and

army have worked in extremists

favor of extremists, Ahmad said.

The provincial governments

and the federal government

know they are the scum of the

earth but we dont agree on strat-

egy, said Ahmad. We have no

unity of command.

Forced conversions hike Pakistan minorities fears

PARIS A video appar-

ently showing a Muslim gun-

mans attacks on soldiers and

a Jewish school was sent to

the Al-Jazeera news network

but not by him, Frenc hpolice said Tuesday, raising

the specter of a possible ac-

complice.

Al-Jazeera on Tuesday de-

cided not to air a video that

seems to have been filmed

from the killers point of view

and includes the cries of his

victims. The decision came

after President Nicolas Sar-

kozy asked the network not

to broadcast it.

While French politicians

describe gunman Mohamed

Merah as a lone wolf ter-

rorist, his brother is behind

bars on suspicion of helping

in the attacks and police are

continuing to look for poten-

tial accomplices.A French official close to

the investigation said the

video was not sent by Merah,

a 23-year-old Frenchman

who was killed in a shoot-

out Thursday after a 32-hour

standoff with police at his

apartment building in Tou-

louse.

Another official said the

envelope sent to Al-Jazeera

contained a Wednesday post-

mark from a large postal pro-

cessing center for the area

around Toulouse, meaning

it was unclear exactly where

it was mailed from. He could

not say anything about who

may have sent the video.

The first official said a tech-nical analysis had concluded

that it was not sent by Merah

but did not indicate whether

that analysis included finger-

prints, DNA, surveillance or

other data.

The two officials spoke on

condition of anonymity be-

cause of the sensitivity of the

case.

Merah was in his apart-

ment, surrounded by po-

lice, from well before dawn

Wednesday until he was

killed Thursday morning. Po-

lice did not elaborate on why

they think he did not put the

package into the mail before

then.

Prosecutors have said that

Merah filmed all of his at-

tacks, which began March 11

with the murder of a French

soldier. Before the spree

ended, two more soldiers and

three Jewish children and arabbi were killed, while an-

other student and another

paratrooper were wounded.

Police said Merah claimed

the attacks and had told them

he had links to al-Qaida, trav-

eled to Afghanistan and re-

ceived weapons training in

the militant-riddled Pakistani

tribal region of Waziristan.

French intelligence offi-

cials say they have found no

sign of a link between Merah

and al-Qaida or other inter-

national terrorist networks.

Still, investigators say they

are open to the possibility of

accomplices.

Preliminary charges for

complicity in murder a nd ter-rorism have been filed against

Merahs older brother, Ab-

delkader, though no evidence

has emerged that he took part

directly in the shooting.

It was not clear if Ab-

delkader could have sent the

video. Police say they first

detained him as they carried

out Wednesdays early morn-

ing raid.

What we know is that it

(the video) was reassembled.

Things were added in. We

dont know if the full sequence

was in it. But it was not just

the video as it was filmed.

There was an editing process

and additions made, the first

official said.Zied Tarrouche, Al-

Jazeeras Paris bureau chief,

said the video had clearly been

edited, with religious songs

and recitations of Quranic

verses laid over the footage.

The footage appeared to

have been taken from the

point of view of the killer,

perhaps from a camera hung

around his neck, according

Tarrouche, who described

the video to BFM television

station. He said they were a

bit shaky but of a high techni-

cal quality.

WASHINGTON This is

what the U.S. government

imagines would happen i ter-

rorists set o a nuclear bomb

just block s away ro m the

White House: The explosionwould destroy everything in

every direction within one-hal

mile. An intense ash would

blind drivers on the Beltway

miles away. A radioactive cloud

would drit toward Baltimore.

But the surprising conclu-

sion? Just a bit arther rom

the epicenter o the blast, such

a nuclear explosion would be

pretty survivable.

A little-noticed U.S. govern-

ment study explores what would

happen i terrorists got their

hands on enough nuclear mate-

rial to explode a 10-kiloton nu-

clear bomb, roughly 5,000 times

more powerul than the truck

bomb that destroyed the ederal

building in Oklahoma City in1995. But the city wouldnt dis-

appear rom the map.

Its not the end o the world,

said Randy Larsen, a retired

Air Force colonel and ound-

ing director o the Institute or

Homeland Security. Its not a

Cold War scenario.

The biggest dierence be-

tween the disaster that the gov-

ernment studied and the night-

mares o incoming ICBMs rom

the ormer Soviet Union is the

size o the explosion. Cold War-

era ears imagi ned massive hy-

drogen bombs detonated in the

sky, not a smaller device one

that might ft inside a parked

van exploding on the street.

Our images o nuclear war

are either o Hiroshima or Na-

gasaki or what we saw in the

movies during the Cold War,

said Brian Michael Jenkins, a

senior adviser to the president

o the RAND Corporation. I

you are thinking about (a city)

being wiped o the ace o the

earth, thats not what hap-

pens.

The study, Key Response

Planning Factors or the Ater-

math o Nuclear Terrorism,

was produced in November by

the Homeland Security Depart-

ment and the National Nuclear

Security Administration. Even

though the government consid-

ers it or ofcial use only and

never published it online, the

study is circulating months

later on scientifc and govern-

ment watchdog websites.

The White House on Tuesday

described the threat o nuclear

terrorism as one o the most

important issues in recent dis-

cussions between President

Barack Obama and Pakistans

prime minister. Separately, sci-

entists at an international nu-

clear security summit in South

Korea this week promised to

cooperate to improve detecting

and securing rogue nuclear

bombs and components and in-

vestigating related threats.

For the fctional attack the

U.S. government studied, the

blast zone would extend just

past the south lawn o the

White House and as ar east as

the FBI headquarters.

Few, i any, above ground

buildings are expected to re-

main structurally sound or

even standing, and ew people

would survive, it predicted.

It described the blast area as

a no-go zone or days ater-

ward due to radiation. But

the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme

Court, the Washington Monu-

ment, the Lincoln and Jeer-

son memorials, and the Penta-

gon across the Potomac River

were all in areas described as

light damage, with some bro-

ken windows and mostly minor

injuries.

The government study pre-

dicted 323,000 injuries, with

more than 45,000 dead.

The ash rom the explosion

would be seen or hundreds o

miles, but the mushroom cloud

up to fve miles tall would

only keep its shape or a ew

minutes. The ash would be

so bright it could temporar-

ily blind people up to 12 miles

away, including drivers on

Washingtons Beltway. At least

our area hospitals would be

heavily damaged or couldnt

unction, and our others

would experience dangerous

radiation allout. The govern-

ment said it expects to send

warnings aterward by televi-

sion, radio, email, text messageand social media services like

Twitter and Facebook.

It predicted the seriousness

o radioactive allout, which

would drit with prevailing

winds that vary depending on

the season and expose victims

closest to the explosion to 300

to 800 Roentgens, or enough to

kill nearly all o them, in the

frst two hours. In the spring,

allout would drit mostly to

the north and west o down-

town Washington. But in the

summer, it would drit mostly

southeast. Ater two hours, the

radioactive cloud would move

over Baltimore with ar less

exposure.

Unortunately, our in-stincts can be our own worst

enemy, the report said. Ater

the bright ash o a nuclear

explosion, people would rush

toward windows to see, but

the resulting blast could break

glass as ar as three miles away

just 10 seconds later a nd cause

injuries.

Terriied victims would

try to lee the area, but going

outside could expose them to

deadly amounts o radiation

within a ew minutes. A car

oers no protection. The gov-

ernments advice or everyone

within 50 miles: Head down-

stairs into a parking garage

or basement.

Govt report: DC nuke blast wouldnt destroy city

Associated Press

This map, released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is contained in a report from a study that analyzed the likely effects

from terrorists setting off a 10-kiloton nuclear device a few blocks north of the White House.


WASHINGTON The Amer-

ican Civil Liberties Union on

Tuesday released records it ob-

tained rom the FBI that it said

showed the bureaus San Fran-

cisco division used its Muslim

outreach eorts to collect intel-

ligence on religious activities

protected by the Constitution.

Under the U.S. Privacy Act,

the FBI is generally prohibited

rom maintaining records on

how people practice their reli-

gion unless there is a clear law

enorcement purpose. ACLU

lawyers said the documents,

which the organization ob-

tained under the Freedom o

Inormation Act, showed viola-

tions o that law.

Ater reviewing the ACLU

documents, the FBI said the

reports that contained notes

about religious activity were

appropriate because the agents

were meeting with members o

the Muslim community or law

enorcement purposes.

The documents are rom 2004

through 2008, beore the FBI es-

tablished a ormal community

outreach program and beore

it put in place sweeping new

rules governing the collection

o intelligence.

Everyone understands that

the FBI has a job to do, but it iswrong and counterproductive

or the bureau to target Ameri-

can Muslim religious groups or

secret intelligence gathering

and place innocents at risk o in-

vestigation as national security

threats, ACLU attorney Hina

Shamsi said in a news release.

Since the 2001 terrorist at-

tacks, the FBI has stepped up

its outreach to Muslim neigh-

borhoods and eorts to recruit

sources and gather intelligence

in those areas. Though the ed-

eral government says those two

eorts are completely separate,

civil rights lawyers and some

Muslims have complained that

the FBI uses one to accomplish

the other. The ACLU released asimilar batch o documents last

year.

The gathering o intelligence

inside mosques has been the

subject o public debate re-

cently, ollowing an Associated

Press investigation into the

New York Police Departments

use o undercover ofcers and

inormants to report on the con-

tents o sermons and the conver-

sations inside mosques. Police

secretly jotted down license

plate numbers and snapped pic-

tures as worshippers arriving

at services, documents show.

Derek Welch was in his frst

week in the mission feld when

his trainer got the inamous

Dear John letter.

His eyes were soon opened to

the pain and sorrow that existswith these types o waiting

relationships, and he wrote

the ollowing song in response

to his companions pain.

I got a letter like I always do,

but I could tell that something

was new / I started reading

rom let to right, with tears

streaming down my eyes / She

said he was a handsome man,

he studied hard and he had a

plan / She really thinks he is

the one and she told me that we

are done.

For BYU students and LDS

singles, missions add an addi-

tional quirk to relationships.

Whether its dating someone

waiting or a missionary, not

dating while waiting or amissionary or trying to steal

the heart o someone in one o

those situations, these relation-

ships add layers o emotional

complexity to the LDS experi-

ence.

ment, is opinionated about

the waiting game and thinks

people are just being silly.

Friends dont let riends

date missionaries, Kotter said.

Waiting or missionaries is a

good idea, assuming you like

pain. As a missionary, having

someone wait or you is a great

idea, assuming you like dis-

traction and disappointment.

Though the success rate isnot the greatest, people will

try again and again to fght or

what they think they know they

want and deserve: love. Kelsey

Smith, a BYU student rom Cal-

iornia, believes relationships

will continue to be diicult

whether or not

a missionary is

involved.

I wish I

could make

some blanket

statement that

i youre going

to wait or a

missionary, it

should involve

some vow o

dating celi-bacy, Smith

said. Ive had

riends who

have been just

as hurt and

messed up by

guys or girls

still in love

with their exes,

so Id be more

prone to say

dont get involved in a relation-

ship i you are still emotionally

involved with someone else, re-

gardless o whether a mission-

ary is involved.

Emotions run deepBenjamin Johnson, 22, rom

Valencia, Cali., dated a girlwho had a missionary, and

things did not quite go the way

he intended. Johnson described

the end as a dark damp eve-

ning in the car. The breakup

conversation began with, I

have a conession.

I instantly knew that it was

going to change rom a lovely

chat to one o those conver-

sations, Johnson said. She

didnt want to become one o

those people. Because she was

waiting or a missionary who

recently let, she knew that

breaking my heart was simplyinevitable disregard any re-

lationship we had developed

over the last our months o

dating.

Johnson described the situ-

ation as ironic because she

didnt want to hurt him, but

breaking up with him did.

Who wants to be a part o

something that they know is

ending because, no matter

what they do, they will always

be second best? Johnson said.

Got to love when a girl has a

missionary, right?

Smith said she dated a guy

who had a missionary and the

end proved they were defnitely

not soul-mates.

I met H. anonym-ity makes me classier, yes?

throug h a mutual riend,

Smith said. H. was still emo-

tionally messed up by his mis-

sionary girlriend. On our

second day o dating he told

me he wouldnt be writing his

girlriend anymore, and then

on our eighth day o dating he

broke up with me because he

was still in love with his girl-

riend.

The next two months were

ollowed by hook-ups, break-

ups and exclusive dating. Smith

said embarrassingly that she

loved him, and H. was at least

honest with his eelings: I like

being with you because then I

dont have to thin k about her.You know were not going to

keep dating ater I graduate,

right? and the real kicker,

Youre my settling soul mate.

Is it worth the time?Johnson himsel debates

whether his

time pursu-

ing a young

woman wait-

ing or a mis-

sionary was

well spent.

I honestly

dont know,

Johnson said.

I wouldnt

say it was

a waste otime, simply

because now

I know not to

date people

who are in-

tent on mar-

rying their

missionary. I

wouldnt say

waste, just

poorly spent.

Bill McGreaham, 27, rom

Spokane, Wash., has seen the

other end o the spectrum,

where girls were the ones who

ended up with their time being

wasted.

His roommate was waiting

or a young woman serving

a mission whom he was de-termined to marry. He went

through a dozen relationships

with other young women be-

cause his heart was ocused on

the missionary.

He wasnt dating lightly: he

was developing relationships

with these girls that he didnt

want to pursue, McGreaham

said. Almost every girl was

hurt in the end, and it seemed

he was using them as nothing

more than space fllers. Casual

dating is dierent rom devel-

oping relationships, and he sid-

ed with the latter as opposed to

the ormer.

Jayme DEwart, rom Rock

Springs, Wyo., told the storyo her roommate who started

a relationship that seemed to

have possibilities, but, in the

end, the man couldnt cut o

his missionary relationship.

She eventually conronted

him about it, and he told her he

was in love with the girl on a

mission and believed he could

neverlove anyone as much as

he had loved that girl, DEwart

said. He then proceeded to tell

my roommate that sometimes

when he was with her and her

amily, he could see them be-

ing together orever, and other

times he couldnt. But wait, it

gets better he and his mis-

sionary had dated or one week

beore she let or her mission.

Should people wait for amissionary?

Work is what marriage is

ull o, said Michael Goodman,

a marriage and amily proes-

sor. He said there is no thus

saith the Lord on the matter,

but he does not believe waiting

is the best idea.

First, the Lord has asked

every able young man to pre-

pare or and serve a ull-time

mission, Goodman said.

Anything which makes a

young man less likely or able

to do both aithully [prepare

and serve] should be avoided.

Second, or one who may be

inclined to wait (male or e-male), they must continue to

grow and progress. To live a

year and a hal or two years in

limbo is not only detrimental

to the person waiting it also

lessens the chance o success in

the waited relationship later,

since only one hal o that rela-

tionship will continue to grow

and progress while the other

hal stagnates.

For some, however, it seems

to work out. Benjamin Lloyd,

26, studying civil engineering,

understood that developing re-

lationships was important tohim.

Lloyd started dating a young

woman six months beore she

let and decided to wait or her.

We werent planning on get-

ting married when she got home

or anything like that; we didnt

eel that we could make that de-

cision at that time, Lloyd said.

But because I loved her and

wanted to pick up where we let

o upon her return, I decided

not to date other girls. I eel

that that choice is dierent or

dierent couples and that both

sides have their advantages.

The missionary has re-

turned home and she and Lloyd

are now dating.

Lie is good, Lloyd saidabout the happy couple.

Approaches to datingwhile waiting

McKenzie Christensen is

waiting or a missionary but is

still willing to date other men,

i they will give her a chance.

I avoid telling people about

my missionary in ear they will

judge me and think o me as

some scum who is ruining and

distracting a guy on his mis-

sion, Christensen said. They

will tell me what to say, what I

am doing wrong, what I shoulddo instead, and make me think

I am a ailure in supporting

him on his mission and I am

a menace to society when they

have no clue what our relation-

ship was like beore or how it

is now.

In contrast to the people who

still try to date while waiting,

there are individuals like Ra-

chel Bower who believe they

will marry their missionary.

In preparation or that, she has

decided to not date anyone

while her missionary is gone.

Im the type o girl that

has no desire whatsoever

to date anyone but my boy,

Bower said. To me it seems i

I did want to date, t hen I dontlove my missionary enough to

marry him.

Peter Hall, rom Newhall,

Cali., a roommate to Derek

Welch, believed he could sum

up the dating-while-waiting

situation pretty well.

Whoever is on a mission,

their priority is not you,

Hall said. So i you decide

that you are going to wait

or that person and suppress

whatever eelings you have

or people around you, espe-

cially as a guy, you shouldnt

be asking girls out on dates,because asking girls out on

dates are hollow invitations.

Some just have a rule

against dating others wait-

ing or missionaries. Jason

Facer, 23, rom Santa Maria,

Cali., wont date girls who

are waiting or missionaries.

Do I want to waste my

money on a girl who has a

missionary? Facer said.

Not a chance.

For Smith, the aoremen-

tioned settled soul-mate,

such emotional traps come

with the BYU culture.

Ultimately, were all just

making up this relationship

stu as we go, Smith said.

Adding a missionary to therelationship equation may be

some weird sort o Mormon

X-Factor, but honestly, rela-

tionships will insist on being

complicated regardless.

Dating while waiting: how missions affect the hunt

Photos b arah Hill

Those who wait or a signifcant other on a mission can complicate all kinds o relationships.

First, the ord hasasked ever able oung

man to prepare or and

serve a ull-time mission.

Anthing which makes a

oung man less likel orable to do both aith-

ull [prepare and serve]

should be avoided.

HARRISON, Ark. When

a black man supposedly broke

into a white mans home in

1905, a mob ran most black peo-

ple out of town and instantly

gave this community a lastingreputation as being too danger-

ous for minorities.

More than a century later,

only 34 of the nearly 13,000 res-

idents in Harrison are black.

But the town desperately wants

to overcome its past, hoping a

better image will attract more

residents and businesses. So

leaders are advocating for di-

versity in a way rarely seen in

overwhelmingly white places:

creating a task force on race

relations, printing posters

about the citys ugly history

and bringing in a civil rights

speaker.

If your image is out there

that youre this little racist en-

clave set in the hills, who yougoing to attract? Youre going

to attract racists, said Layne

Ragsdale, a member of the task

force.

Its a hard sell. The task force

is almost all white. The posters

go into storage between events.

And the town had to bus in

black children to listen to the

speaker.

Harrisons tiny black popu-

lation is actually larger than

it used to be. For decades af-

ter race riots in 1905 and 1909,

fewer than 10 black people lived

here or elsewhere in Boone

County, a largely rural square

of northern Arkansas where

residents only recently voted

to allow alcohol sales.

The towns history of racial

conflict isnt unique in a state

where federal troops had to es-

cort a group of black students

known as the Little Rock Nine

into Central High School dur-

ing a historic 1957 clash over

desegregation.

But Harrison stands out

because the town pushed out

virtual ly its entire black popu-

lation.

They chose to run their

African-American population

off, said John Kirk, a history

professor at the University of

Arkansas at Little Rock who

has written about the states

racial past. How do you recon-

cile with a population thats not

there anymore?

Before the riots, more than

140 black people lived in the

county. Then tensions started

brewing as work dried up on

the nearby railroad line.

In 1905, the white mob that

ran off most of the black popu-

lation burned down homes and

shot out windows. Many black

people left, and those who

stayed fled in 1909 after a black

man was convicted of raping a

white woman.

Only one black woman,

known as Aunt Vine, stuck

around. The task force on race

relations named its scholar-

ship for minority students in

her honor.

Harrison leaders hope even-

tually to welcome back descen-

dants of those who fled. And

maybe that will show the town

isnt so racist anymore.

Getting the truth out there

will do nothing but help us

from a business perspective,

said Chris Ramsey a member of

the task force and sales direc-

tor for Harrisons convention

and visitors bureau.

Businesses that declined to

locate in Harrison h ave not ex-

plicitly cited the communitys

racial history, but its an issuethat has to be addressed when-

ever a company is courted.

Over the years, the city has

attracted enough industry to

keep Harrison alive. People

here make whiteboards, alumi-

num parts for barbecue grills

and wood floors for tractor-

trailers. Tourists stop here,

too, especially bikers who ride

along the curvy roads of the

Ozark Mountains. But they,

like nearly everyone else here,

are white.

Confederate flags arent hard

to find and, until recently, nei-

ther was a moveable barbecue

joint cal led Krackers. That

smoker has since disappeared,

unlike the Ku Klux Klan,which reinforced Harrisons

racist legacy. The leader of a

Klan group called the Knights

Party lives outside Harrison

and maintains a post office box

in the city.

There are racists in every

community, Ragsdale said.

Ours are more vocal than

some.

Still, no one has done any-

thing to stop the Klan group

from organizing an event

that sounds a lot like a rally

Open to ALL Concer ned

White Patriots later this

month.

What do you want to do, run

him out? asked Mel Chaney,

who lives south of Harrison.

Chaney, who is white, said he

had never seen any signs of rac-

ism in town. Neither had Bill

Sloss, who is also white.

How can it be a racist town

if theres no blacks here? Sloss

asked.

Others disagree. Rumors ofdiscrimination persist here: a

restaurant refusing to serve a

black man, racial slurs that roll

off peoples tongues.

The reality is that Harrison

remains today something of a

gathering point for white su-

premacists, said Mark Potok,

a senior fellow at the Southern

Poverty Law Center.

That reputation scared some

of the black students who came

here last month for a nonvio-

lence summit.

Maria Oates had to convince

her mother to let her travel to

Harrison. Even when her moth-

er consented, Oates was appre-

hensive about the trip.

I was nervous up until Iactually got there and talked

with the people that live there,

Oates said. She said she would

return for another community

service project, but not on her

own.

Other students were blunter

about their fears.

They told us they thought

they were going to be hung,

Ragsdale said.

After the students left, Oates

was talking to her dad about a

piece on the Klan in the local

news.

After I heard that, I kind of

thought, What if they really

didnt want to change?

STERLING, Va. As a mar-

ried woman, Marisa Hannum

had her familys conservatism

in mind when she backed Re-

publicans in the 2008 and 2004

presidential elections. Now di-

vorced, she is putting her own

interests first as she weighs

whether to vote for Democratic

President Barack Obama or his

Republican challenger this fall.

Shes an abortion opponent,

worried about her finances and

concerned for friends who cant

find jobs. Shes dumbfounded

that anyone is questioning

birth control access in 2012.

And she has only a glimmer

of an idea of how shell vote in

November.

Now I am a little bit better

informed. But I am really on

the fence, says Hannum, 30, an

assistant restaurant manager,

as she stops by the post office

in this Washington suburb a

region filled with single women

that Democrats and Republi-

cans alike are targeting.

In an election year heavily

focused on social issues and

the economy, Democrats aretrying to energize unmarried

females who overwhelmingly

vote for their candidates while

Republicans work to peel them

away.

Political math tells the story

of the so-called marriage gap:

exit polls show that women are

a majority of voters in presiden-

tial election years and about

four in 10 female voters dont

have a spouse. They lean more

heavily Democratic than their

married counterparts. But the

U.S. census says about 22 per-

cent of them are unregistered,

a rich pool of potential new vot-

ers for both parties competing

for the presidency and the ma-

jorities in Congress.

Though single women are

among the most Democratic

groups in the electorate, recent

political history gives Republi-

cans hope: In the 2010 elections,

Republican House candidates

grabbed their highest share of

womens votes in decades, at

49 percent. Single women also

were hit harder than others by

the recession Obama in herited.

So in both parties, the race

is on to woo single women, reg-

ister them to vote and inspire

them to show up at the poll s.

There is a group of women

who are up for grabs, said

Democratic pollster Celinda

Lake, who describes a majority

of these voters as older, white

and blue collar. In research

shes done for the Voter Partic-

ipation Center, a nonpartisan

research group. Lake estimates

that the share of unregistered

single women could be as high

as 40 percent, or 55 million

people, when the group that did

not answer that question on the

Census is counted. Whateverthe share, their support can-

not be assumed, she says.

As much as 75 percent of sin-

gle women vote for Democrats,

so registering them to vote en

masse is more beneficial for

Democrats than Republicans.

And, said GOP pollster Ed

Goeas, single working women

tend to show up to vote at some

of the lowest rates of any demo-

graphic.

They are a longshot, Goeas

said of single women generally.

But no-longer married women

like Hannum, he said, may be

worth courting for the GOP in

part because they tend to be

more conservative than never-

marrieds.

Democrats, Republicans woo unmarried women voters
