BOSTON BOMBING
Neighbor, 76, found
guilty of killing teen
MILWAUKEE - A Mil-
waukee man who suspected his
13-year-old neighbor of break-
ing into his home and stealing
weapons was convicted
Wednesday of fatally shooting
the boy as the teen’s mother
looked on. Now jurors will de-
cide whether the 76-year-old
defendant was mentally ill at
the time.
A jury deliberated for about
an hour before finding John
Henry Spooner guilty of first-
degree intentional homicide.
Surveillance video from his
own security cameras showed
him confronting Darius Sim-
mons in May 2012, pointing a
gun at him from about 6 feet
away and shooting him in the
chest.

Man faces more counts
on women held captive
CLEVELAND - The Cleve-
land man accused of holding
three women captive in his
home for over a decade pleaded
not guilty Wednesday to an ex-
panded indictment charging
him with 512 counts of kidnap-
ping and 446 counts of rape,
among other crimes.
The newest charges re-
turned Friday by a grand jury
against Ariel Castro expanded
on a 329-count indictment filed
earlier that covered only part of
the time frame of the alleged
crimes.
Castro, 53, has been jailed
since his arrest May 6 shortly
after the xyomen escaped to
freedom. As in past court ap-
pearances, he kept his head
down Wednesday, typically re-
sponding to a judge’s questions
with one-word answers.

Researchers report
dinosaur find in Utah
Down syndrome gene
silenced in lab research
Natural History Museum of Utah
An illustration shows what
researchers think the Nasu-
toceratops titusi, found in
southern Utah, looked like.
SALT LAKE CITY - Re-
searchers in Utah said Wednes-
day they had discovered a big-
nosed, horned-faced dinosaur
that lived about 76 million
years ago in what is now the
Grand Staircase-Escalante Na-
tional Monument.
The discovery of the crea-
ture, named Nasutoceratops ti-
tusi, was described in the Brit-
ish scientific journal Proceed-
ings of the Royal Society B and
by officials at the Natural His-
tory Museum of Utah in Salt
Lake City.
The dinosaur was a wide-
bodied plant-eater that grew to
15 feet long and weighed 272
tons, said Patti Carpenter,
spokeswoman for the museum.
The Associated Press
Scientists silenced the extra
copy of a chromosome that
causes Down syndrome in lab-
oratory stem cells, offering the
first evidence that it may be
possible to correct the genes re-
sponsible for the disorder.
The findings, published
Wednesday in the journal Na-
ture, offer new cell models for
developing potential treat-
ments, researchers said. The
models, aided by gene-manip-
ulating technology from San-
garno Biosciences Inc., may
help researchers discover drug
targets for other ill health ef-
fects that come with the syn-
drome.

Midwest, Northeast hit hardest as temperatures soar
Julio Cortez/The Associated Press
The heat wave hit especially hard in the Midwest and Northeast, including Hoboken, N.J. A cold front
traveling south from Canada could offer some relief for those regions by Saturday.
Country chaDenged
by widespread heat
NEW YORK - From South Da-
kota to Massachusetts, tempera-
tures surged to potentially danger-
ous levels Wednesday as the largest
heat wave of the summer stretched
out and stagnated, with relief in
many parts of the country still days
away.
Most states had at least one re-
gion where the temperature hit 90
degrees, according to the National
Weather Service, though the worst
heat filled the Midwest and North-
east. Humid air made it feel worse,
with heat indexes in some places
over 100.
In New York City, where it was 96
degrees, sidewalk food vendor Ah-
mad Qayumi said that by 11 a.m., the
cramped space inside his steel-
walled cart got so hot, he had to turn
off his grill and coffee machine.
“It was just too hot. I couldn’t
breathe,” he said, turning away a
customer who asked for a hamburg-
er. “Just cold drinks,” he said.
Amid the heat, officials in Wash-
ington D.C.’s Maryland suburbs
worked to keep a failing water main
from cutting off hundreds of thou-
sands of people just when they need-
ed it most. People in Prince George’s
County were asked not to run their
faucets, water their lawns or flush
toilets to keep the water system from
emptying during emergency re-
pairs.
It was hot enough to buckle high-

way pavement in several states. Fire-
fighters in Indianapolis evacuated
300 people from a senior living com-
munity after apower failure knocked
out the air conditioning. The state of
Illinois opened cooling centers.
Officials blamed hot weather for
at least one death. A 78-year-old Alz-
heimer’s patient died of heat exhaus-
tion after wandering away from his
northern Kentucky home Tuesday in
temperatures that rose to 93 de-
grees.
Limited relief, in the form of a
cold front, was expected to begin
dropping south from Canada start-
ing Thursday, before sweeping
through the Midwest and into the
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions
by Saturday. That will bring lower
temperatures, but also possibly se-
vere thunderstorms, said weather
service spokesman Christopher Vac-
caro.

Magazine
criticized
for image
‘Rolling Stone’ cover photo
glamorizes suspect, some say
NEW YORK - The close-up of
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of
RollingStone to hit shelves Friday looks
more like a young Bob Dylan or Jim
Morrison than the 19-year-old who
pleaded not guilty a little more than a
week ago in the Boston Marathon
bombing, his arm in a cast and his face
swollen in court.
Has the magazine offered the world
its first rock star of an alleged Islamic
terrorist?
“I can’t think of another instance in
which one has glamorized the image of
an alleged terrorist. This is the image of
a rock star.” said Kathleen Hall Jamie-
son, a communications professor and
the director of the Annenberg Public
Policy Center at the University of Penn-
sylvania.
Public outrage was swift, including
hard words from the Boston mayor,
bombing survivors and the governor of
Massachusetts. At least five retailers
with strong New England ties said they
would not sell the issue that features an
in-depth look into how a charming,
well-liked teen took a dark turn toward
radical Islam. Walgreens, headquar-
tered in Illinois, followed suit.
Tsarnaev is not referred to as Tsar-
naev in the article. The magazine uses
his playful diminutive instead in ahead-
line: “Jahar’s World.”
Rolling Stone did not address
whether the photo was edited or filtered
in any way in a brief statement offering
condolences to bombing survivors and
the loved ones of the dead.
“The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is
young and in the same age group as
many of our readers makes it all the
more important for us to examine the
complexities of this issue and gain a
more complete understanding of how a
tragedy like this happens,” the state-
ment said.

Why spacesuit helmet flooded remains a mystery

Astronaut Luca Parmitano had to rush back into the
International Space Station from his spacewalk after a
mysterious water leak inside his helmet.

endangered spacewalker
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
— The spacewalking astro-
naut who came close to
drowning in a flooded helmet
searched for clues in his space-
suit Wednesday in hopes of
understanding the unprece-
dented water leak.
Engineers in Houston,
meanwhile, conducted their
own investigation into what
should have been a routine,
yet still risky, maintenance
job outside the International
Space Station.
But a day after one of
NASAs most harrowing
spacewalks in decades, an-
swers eluded the experts.
Luca Parmitano, Italy’s
first and only spacewalker,
could not hear or speak by the
time he re-entered the space
station on Tuesday, IV2 hours
after stepping out. He also
had difficulty seeing because
of the big globs of water in his
helmet and elsewhere in his
suit.
He’d worn the same suit
on a spacewalk a week earlier,
*
without mishap.
NASA aborted Tuesday’s
spacewalk because of the
problem and later acknowl-
edged it was a serious situa-
tion in which Parmitano
•could have choked or even
drowned. He looked all right,
although wet, when his crew-
mates pulled off his helmet,
and was reported to be in
good shape.
“Back to normality on the
ISS — Cupola is still a fantas-
tic sight, even after a (very
short) EVA,” Parmitano wrote
Wednesday in a tweet. EVA is
NASA shorthand for space-
walk: extravehicular activity.
The cupola is the station’s ob-
servation deck.
On Wednesday, Parmita-
no shined a long flashlight
through the ring collar of his
suit, while his colleague,
American Christopher Cassi-
Nothing suspicious
popped up, NASA spokesman
Kelly Humphries said.
There are only two sources
of water in the suit: a 32-
ounce drink bag and a 1-gal-
lon cooling system embedded
in long underwear.
NASA has nearly ruled out
the drink pouch. Specialists
detected higher water use
than normal from the cooling
system’s tanks, Humphries
said.
Barring an emergency, no
further NASA spacewalks are
planned anytime soon. The
work left undone Tuesday in-
volved a variety of minor
chores that had piled up over
the past couple of years. Offi-
cials said there’s no hurry to
finish the job.
Spare U.S. spacesuits are
on board and could be used in
an emergency.
