Koch bros. keep beating anti-'Obamacare' drum
A conservative advocacy group that spent millions on issue ads during the 2012 election cycle plans to continue a seven-figure campaign that aims to convince people to think twice before signing up for health insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act.
Americans for Prosperity, a group partially funded by donors David and Charles Koch, plans to release a? television ad Wednesday to raise questions about the law. Instead of focusing on the law?s repeal, AFP's newest effort will argue that health insurance premiums will rise for those who sign up for the exchanges. The group also is making plans to dispatch activists to sporting events, festivals and town fairs in multiple states for the next several months to warn people that they could have fewer medical choices under the law.
?This is more about going to folks where they are and talking to them,? AFP President Tim Phillips told Yahoo News. ?We?re saying, make sure you understand the impact this law will have on you if you sign up.?
The federal government will begin to implement key parts of the Affordable Care Act, the health insurance overhaul commonly called Obamacare that passed along partisan lines and was signed by President Barack Obama in 2010, as early as 2014. In order for the law to function as planned, millions of Americans must pro-actively sign up for health insurance plans enacted by the legislation. The Obama administration is urging people to enroll. An independent group, Enroll America, has launched a nationwide campaign to provide information about how to take part in the exchanges.
But a coalition of conservative groups is urging people not to sign up at all, which, if effective, would make it difficult for many parts of the law to function. The AFP campaign, which began with an initial $700,000 investment for an ad in July, won?t explicitly advise people not to sign up, but the insinuation is strong.
?The reason we?re doing this now is that this is the final run-up to final implementation,? Phillips told Yahoo News. ?As a lot of Americans decide what to do when the Enroll America paid community organizer shows up at an event in their community, we want them to consider exactly what this law means for them personally. So we want to run these ads now before they make that decision.?
Enrollment for the exchanges is set to begin in October.

Cowboys S Barry Church sidelined by Jolly Rancher
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) ? Barry Church is finished with Jolly Ranchers. The candy-loving Dallas Cowboys safety missed a day of training camp because of a cherry-flavored one.
Church chipped a tooth on a piece of the hard candy about a week before reporting to camp. He felt pain off and on, but says it was unbearable when he woke up Monday morning.
The fourth-year pro missed a walkthrough and a full practice to get a root canal, but returned Tuesday.
Church says he "caught a couple of zingers" from coaches and teammates and isn't happy that he has to stay away from candy for a while.
Once he can eat candy again, Church says he'll "stick to the soft stuff."
Church missed the final 13 games last year with a torn Achilles' tendon.

Stocks open higher; S&P500 cracks 1700-point barrier
stocks 
2 hours ago
Stocks opened sharply higher on Thursday, with the S&P 500 topping the 1,700-point mark, as Wall Street cheered upbeat economic data from China and Europe and a better-than-expected jobless claims report.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 118 points higher in early morning trading.
The S&P 500?rose 15 points to move through the 1700 barrier and the Nasdaq also rallied at the open. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, traded near 13.
Major averages closed out their best July since 2010 on Wednesday. For the year, the Dow and S&P 500 have spiked more than 18 percent for the year, while the Nasdaq has surged nearly 20 percent.
On the economic front, weekly jobless claims tumbled 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 326,000, dropping to a 5-1/2 year low, according to the Labor Department. Economists surveyed by Reuters expected a reading of 345,000, compared with 343,000 in the prior week.
Also, the number of planned layoffs at U.S. firms declined modestly in July, with employers announcing 37,701 cuts last month, down 4.2 percent from 39,372 in June, according to the report from consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Meanwhile, the pace of growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector accelerated in July to the highest level in two years as new orders surged, according to a report by the Institute for Supply Management. The data supported the view the economy will pick up in the second half of the year.
The ISM said its index of national factory activity rose to 55.4 from 50.9 in June, topping expectations for 52. It was the highest since June 2011. New orders also racked up their best level in more than two years, jumping to 58.3 from 51.9.
The reports came ahead of Friday's widely-watched government jobs report. Analysts polled by Reuters expect to see a gain of 184,000 in July, after a 195,000 uptick in the previous month.

Stocks ended flat on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve did not signal when it would start tapering its bond-buying program. However, it did raise concerns about rising mortgage rates and flagged the risks of inflation falling too far below its target. In addition, the central bank slightly downgraded its outlook for economic growth.

Asian stocks rallied on Thursday after China's official PMI (purchasing manager's index) data showed the country's manufacturing sector continued to expand in July, defying forecasts of a contraction. But the picture was mixed, with a private gauge of factory activity by HSBC showing an 11-month low of 47.7 in July. Japan's Nikkei rallied to a one-month peak on the news, the Shanghai Composite hit a one-week high and South Korea's Kospi touched a seven-week high.
"Official PMI is more skewed to larger companies, and the HSBC figure reflects the smaller companies and that is where you get this divergence," said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economics research at HSBC.

In Europe, the European Central Bank kept its main interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent, and reiterated that rates would remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time.
"Labor market conditions remain weak. Looking ahead to the remainder of the year and 2014, euro area growth should benefit from a gradual recovery in global demand," said ECB president Mario Draghi in a press conference following the announcement. "Our monetary policy stance remains accommodative for as long as necessary. We have unanimously confirmed the forward guidance we gave last time."
Euro zone manufacturing activity grew for the first time in two years in July, with the purchasing manager's index (PMI) climbing to 50.3 in July. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion.
And the Bank of England left its interest rates unchanged at 0.5 percent, as expected, under its new governor, Mark Carney.

Lions, and tigers, and bears ? well, not quite.
They aren?t that dangerous, but Medina County fairgoers all week have the chance to see and touch the unusual pets owned by Chatham Township animal lover Terri Wise and her husband, Bryan.
And best of all, it?s free.
On Tuesday, more than 50 people got to interact with some of the Wises? ?cute and cuddly? pets ? a ring-tailed lemur, chinchillas, a groundhog and an angora rabbit ? and the ?creepy crawly? ones, like her gargoyle gecko, corn snake, legless lizard and panther chameleon.
?Mom and Dad,? Terri Wise said to the parents in the audience, ?I wasn?t allowed to have pets growing up, and now I have almost a hundred.
?Get them a hamster.?
She said most of her family?s pets are rescued or given to them. Very few are purchased, she said.
She and her husband run Our Zoo to You, an animal show company. Wise said she puts on shows all around Ohio, but prefers to stay in Medina County and the surrounding area.
?One hundred percent of the money we make from the shows goes right to the animals,? she said.
Shows later this week are set to include a fox, a 7?-foot boa constrictor and raccoons. Wise said she?s also planning to bring a coati, which is a Brazilian relative of the raccoon, and a kinkajou, which is native to rainforests.
Visitors to the county fair can stop by the animal shows at 2, 4 and 6 p.m. today and Sunday, and 3, 5 and 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
