WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) ? Every year, Mitt Romney and his family spend a week at his estate on picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee. They go boating, play games ? and attend church, an expression of the faith that's fundamentally shaped the Republican presidential candidate.

Romney, the first Mormon to clinch the presidential nomination of a major party, attended services Sunday with his wife, Ann, five sons, five daughters-in-law and 18 grandchildren. They made up nearly a third of the congregation that gathered inside the small, nondescript building that houses this tiny resort town's branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The Romney clan has attended the church in Wolfeboro many times before ? only now the family patriarch carries the distinction of being President Barack Obama's Republican challenger.

Not that church leaders or worshippers mentioned the new reality as, one by one, they stood at a podium to offer testimony, a custom in Mormon churches on the first Sunday of every month. Among those testifying: one of the many Romney grandchildren.

"My name is Chloe Romney and I'm visiting here from California," the candidate's middle-school-age granddaughter said from the church's lectern, a pink flower in her hair. "I know that my family loves me and I like to go to church."

The family's devotion to the Mormon faith is a part of Romney's life that the electorate rarely sees. Romney almost never mentions it in public. And his campaign typically bars the media from seeing him participate in a religion that many Americans are unfamiliar with. But it's a part of his life that could help him connect with a public that's just now getting to get to know him ? one that includes many church-goers.

Romney's campaign doesn't tell reporters when Romney is going to church. But the Wolfeboro branch is open to visitors and an Associated Press reporter attended the same sacrament service the Romney family attended. It featured bread with water instead of wine, a variation on communion that allows for the Mormon prohibition on drinking alcohol.

And it provided a rare glimpse into his practice of a faith that has permeated every aspect of Romney's life: his childhood, his college years and time as a missionary, his marriage, his life in Boston, even his business career.

Mormonism began in the 1830s when, according to believers, an angel presented another book of scripture to Joseph Smith, the church's founder, called the Book of Mormon. With 14.4 million members, the church is among the fastest growing in the world, supported by a full-time missionary force of about 55,000 young people. Romney has been an active Mormon all his life, so involved in the church at one point that he rose to a rank equivalent to a bishop. He eventually presided over a group of congregations.

During his presidential campaign, the demands of Romney's faith can dictate how he spends his time; it requires as many as three hours nearly every Sunday for services. According to people familiar with his private schedule, Romney goes to church nearly every week. His faith also helps drive his fundraising; a significant amount of money comes from wealthy Mormon donors. And Mormon households across the country often housed campaign aides as they moved from state to state during the GOP primary.

When Romney does talk about his faith, he discloses little and usually focuses on his time as a missionary in France. He offered a forceful explanation of the role of faith in his own life during a recent speech at Liberty University that was aimed at bridging differences with evangelicals, many of whom are skeptical of Mormon theology.

"Culture ? what you believe, what you value, how you live ? matters," Romney said during the May speech that avoided all direct references to Mormonism. "What we have, what we wish we had ? ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost ? these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us."

Sunday's service was a cornerstone of a week that will see all 30 members of the Romney clan pack into the family's sprawling lakefront estate.

They'll gather for family dinners, waterski on the lake, paddleboard off the beach and discuss family affairs, all traditions the family has been developing at this home for more than a decade.

This year, questions about whom Romney will choose as his vice presidential running mate hang over his vacation ? though there was little sign of politics after church on Sunday, as Romney relaxed barefoot on his back deck with youngest son Craig and eldest Tagg, who held one of his newborn twin sons. On the lawn below, a team of photographers set up lights in preparation for the annual family picture.

At church, Romney sat next to his wife, with grandchildren occupying the rest of the row. He sang along during the service's three hymns, holding his iPad underneath his navy blue hymnal. Some of the kids ? who range in age from a few weeks old to 16 years ? grew restless during the long service. At different points, several walked over to receive a kind smile and quiet word from their grandfather. At one point, Romney took charge of a Ziploc bag of colored cereal, offering it to a grinning blond toddler.

As the first section of the service concluded, Romney and the congregation sang all the verses of "America the Beautiful," a song he often quotes on the campaign trail. Many attendees departed while others prepared for the second portion of the service, a Sunday school for adults.

While church leaders moved to close partitions to prepare for the school, Romney chatted at length with others who had come to the service, including several who wore "Romney" pins on their lapels. And Ann Romney focused on figuring out who would stay for the second and third hours and who would head home with restless kids to start dinner.

"Ok, so, we're just trying to figure out the cars," Ann Romney said to one of her daughters-in-law as the first section of the service ended, another about to begin. "I want to stay for the second hour." So did her husband.

Romney has been visiting Wolfeboro for decades, first coming here with his father, George Romney, to visit the J.W. Marriott family. The Marriott family played a significant role in building the Mormon church in Wolfeboro several decades ago.

The branch president, Matthew Jensen, said there are now more than 60 Marriott family members who will appear in Wolfeboro ? and at church ? sometime in the summer. They haven't arrived yet, so the Romneys have the largest contingent.

"We see them every year," Jensen said of the Romneys, noting that their presence swells the size of the congregation. He said that even though Romney is a likely presidential nominee, they fit into the congregation the way any other family would. And the town is still quiet enough that his Secret Service contingent isn't too disruptive as the family drives the few miles to the church from the Romney vacation home on the other side of town.

No matter the outcome of the election, it won't be the same next year.

Tiger Woods squeaks out a win at Congressional

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) ? The flight of his shot into the 18th green was so pure that Tiger Woods immediately started walking and twirled his club, knowing that it effectively wrapped up another win at the AT&T National. Making it even more special was the sound of thousands of fans at Congressional to see it.

One day after spectators were kept away from the golf course because of debris from a violent wind storm, they returned Sunday in full force and got what they expected ? Woods in his red shirt, outlasting Bo Van Pelt in a back-nine duel, and posing with another trophy.

"Yesterday was a silent day," Woods said. "I think everyone saved up for today. What an atmosphere to play in front of."

Woods closed with a 2-under 69 ? at one point going 41 holes without a bogey on a Congressional course that was tougher than when it held the U.S. Open last year ? and won for the third time this year. It was the 74th win of his career, moving him past Jack Nicklaus into second place on the PGA Tour, eight short of Sam Snead's record.

Not bad for a guy who only five months ago walked off the course at Doral with another injury to his left Achilles tendon.

"I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again," Woods said.

He stayed at No. 4 in the world, but a couple of other rankings indicate how he is trending. Woods moved to the top of the PGA Tour money list and the FedEx Cup standings for the first time since September 2009.

And this win puts him in a position to reclaim No. 1 over the final two majors of the year. The ranking is based on points over two years. If it were a vote, Van Pelt knows how he would cast his ballot.

"I think he's the only guy to win three tournaments on tour this year, is that correct?" he said. "On three different golf courses. And he was leading the U.S. Open after two days. So I'd say that he's playing the best golf in the world right now."

Van Pelt made him work for it.

Three times, Woods took the outright lead in the final round. Each time, Van Pelt made a birdie of his own to catch him. The tournament was decided on the last three holes, and it featured a surprising turn of events.

Van Pelt had Woods on the ropes on the par-5 16th by ripping a 345-yard tee shot and having only a 6-iron into the green. Woods hit a spectator in the left rough with his tee shot, laid up, and then attacked a back flag only to see the ball tumble over the green and down an 8-foot slope. It looked as if it might be a two-shot swing for Van Pelt, or at least the lead going to the 17th.

That's when Van Pelt answered with unforced errors of his own. His 6-iron was slightly heavy and didn't quite reach the bunker, meaning he had to plant his feet in the sand and grip the wedge on the shaft for his third shot. He moved it only a few yards, still in the collar of the rough, and chipped about 12 feet by the hole. Woods' chip up the slope rolled 15 feet by, and he missed the par putt.

Van Pelt also missed his par putt, and they walked away from that mess still tied for the lead.

"It was difficult from the standpoint I had my legs in the bunker, and if I hit that chip a little too hard it goes over the green because you can't put any spin on it," Van Pelt said. "I was just trying to get the ball up in the air and play it out to the right a little bit and just got underneath it a little bit. And the second one, I thought I hit great. I was surprised it rolled that far. And the putt, I mean, I've probably never hit a better putt than that in my life under those kind of circumstances.

"I pretty much hit every shot the way I wanted to that hole, just ended up being 6."

On the 17th, Van Pelt caught a flier from the first cut of rough and the ball shot over the green and near the grandstand, leaving him an impossible chip. He hit through the green and had to scramble to make bogey, and Woods took the outright lead for the third time all day ? this time for good.

He made a 6-foot par putt, taking a one-shot lead to the 18th, and played it to perfection.

Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe, who had a one-shot lead going into the final round, didn't make birdie and closed with a 77.

Adam Scott went out in 31 and was briefly tied for the lead until a few bogeys on the back nine. He had to settle for a 67, which put him alone in third at 5 under.

Billy Hurley, the Annapolis graduate who spent five years in the Navy, closed with a 72 and tied for fourth along with Robert Garrigus (70), Jhonattan Vegas (71) and Seung-yul Noh of South Korea, who had a 73.

Woods has three wins, all of them in a different manner.

He pulled away early at Bay Hill and played efficiently for a five-shot win; he rallied from four shots behind with an incredible chip-in late in the round and won the Memorial. This was a two-man duel he hasn't experienced in America since he was on the losing end to Y.E. Yang in the 2009 PGA Championship.

One day after spectators were kept out of Congressional because of toppled trees and hundreds of limbs scattered about the course, they were as loud as ever. The marshals were back to work, collecting a half-dozen cell phones from fans who were caught taking pictures.

Woods complained of a camera on his tee shot on the 16th, and having to back off his tee shot on the 17th because of another camera. That didn't happen on Saturday. But he loved what he called the pent-up energy of the crowd, and couldn't imagine what it would have been like if there had been no spectators when the trophy was handed out.

"As long as I won, I would be OK," he said.

Scott, who overslept Thursday morning and made it to the tee with only minutes to spare, ran off four straight birdies late on the front nine to reach 6 under. But after making three tough par saves on the back nine, he ran out of luck. Back-to-back bogeys took him out of the game.

"The story of my year. I need to try and play well for four days," said Scott, who opened with a 75. "You can 'if' and 'but' and you can argue, but my 3 over through three was due to my very brief warm-up on Thursday, and that might end up being the difference between winning and not this week. I only have myself to blame."

In the final hour, it was clear this would come down to Woods and Van Pelt ? one player with more than 70 career wins and another guy whose only official PGA Tour win came in Milwaukee, a tournament that no longer exists.

On the golf course, they looked far more equal than their records indicate.

Woods delivered a made-for-TV shot on the 12th hole when his tee shot left and close to a tree. He couldn't follow through without hitting the tree, and he warned the gallery that the 9-iron might snap in half. Instead, the shaft glanced off the tree and bowed at impact, while the shot sailed toward the flag and settled 30 feet away.

Van Pelt was simply efficient. He twice missed birdie putts inside 15 feet, but he kept giving himself chances.

In the end, all he made were mistakes, which rarely works against Woods.

"He's an amazing player," Van Pelt said. "We've known each other a long time, probably 20 years. He's fun to play with. That's why you travel 30 weeks a year, why you get up in the morning and you the sacrifices that you do, to have the opportunity to play the best player in the world in the final round with a chance to win."

The spread between Indonesia?s 8.8 percent Islamic debt due April 2014 and Malaysia?s 3.928 percent note due June 2015 narrowed 33 basis points in June to 56 basis points. The yield on the Indonesian securities fell 41 basis points, while the Malaysian rate declined five basis points. Five-year credit-default swaps on Indonesian debt dropped 40 basis points in June, the most since October, according to data provider CMA, even as the rupiah headed for a fifth monthly decline.?????

The government will test investor appetite when it sells global Shariah-compliant securities following the Eid al-Fitr holiday that ends Aug. 22, Rahmat Waluyanto, the director- general at the debt management office, said June 11. A seven-year sukuk would probably yield 3.5 percent to 3.75 percent in the coming sale, down from 4 percent at the last offering in November, after two of the three major ratings companies returned the nation to investment grade, according to Mega Capital Indonesia and BNI Asset Management.?????

?Investors are still very optimistic about Indonesia despite the weak rupiah,? Brustifian Domi, the head of fixed income at Lautandhana Securindo, said in an interview in Jakarta yesterday. ?Our budget deficit is small so we have the capacity to roll out stimulus as needed, and growth is driven by domestic consumption, so it may be more resilient compared with its regional peers.???????????????????????

?Investor appetite? ? ??

The five-year credit-default swap was at 204 yesterday from this year?s high of 254 reached on June 1, according to CMA, which compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market. The contracts insure debt against non-payment and traders use them to speculate on credit quality. A drop signals improving perceptions of creditworthiness, while an increase suggests the opposite.?????

?The declining credit-default swaps level indicates investor appetite to enter the Indonesian market because of strong fundamentals,? Ariawan, a fixed-income analyst at Mega Capital who like many Indonesians goes by only one name, said in a June 27 interview in Jakarta. ?The new sukuk will definitely yield less? than previous ones, he said.?????

Worldwide sales of bonds that comply with Islam?s ban on interest reached $21 billion this year, compared with $14 billion in the same period of 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Offerings totaled a record $36.7 billion in the whole of last year.?????????????????????????

Budget deficit ? ??

The government is confident it can maintain its budget deficit at 2.3 percent of gross domestic product, below the legal limit of 3 percent, Deputy Finance Minister Anny Ratnawati said June 19. Oil prices fell 22 percent since March 30, a day before parliament decided to refrain from reducing fuel subsidies. Standard & Poor?s, the only major ratings company that doesn?t assign Indonesia an investment-grade ranking, said it was ?disappointed at the setback.??????

?The rating upgrade from S&P is one of the catalysts we are waiting for after it was unfortunately delayed,? Sonny Afriansyah, a portfolio researcher at BNI Asset Management in Jakarta, which manages Rp 6.1 trillion ($646 million) of funds, said in a June 27 interview. ?When we return to investment grade at S&P, we expect to see yields decline much further.?????????????????????????

Stimulus measures ? ??

Shariah-compliant securities worldwide returned 5 percent in 2012, the HSBC/Nasdaq Dubai US Dollar Sukuk Index shows, while debt in developing markets rose 6.9 percent, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.?s EMBI Global Composite Index.?????

Average yields on global Islamic bonds were 3.45 percent yesterday, the lowest level since August, according to the HSBC/Nasdaq index. The difference between the average yield and the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, was at 243 basis points.?????

Indonesia will implement stimulus measures by tapping last year?s 24 trillion rupiah budget surplus to fund building projects and raise the tax-free annual income level to boost consumption as the debt crisis in Europe threatens to derail global growth, Bambang Brodjonegoro, head of fiscal policy at the finance ministry, said on June 13.?????????????????????????

?Growth story? ? ??

Bank Indonesia predicts the economy will grow at the lower end of its 6.3 percent to 6.7 percent forecast range this year, supported by strong domestic consumption and investment, it said in a June 12 statement. The nation?s population of 248 million, the world?s fourth-largest according to the US census bureau, means it is less reliant on exports than many other Asian economies. Malaysia?s gross domestic product will increase by 4 percent to 5 percent in 2012, central bank Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz said last month.?????

?Malaysia?s sukuk is relatively steady as the economy has been fairly stable,? Sheikh Faiz Mohamed, the fixed-income manager at the investment division of Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Bhd., which oversees about 5 billion ringgit ($1.6 billion) of assets, said in a phone interview from Kuala Lumpur yesterday. ?The growth story is more with Indonesia because it has more potential considering the bigger population and rising incomes.
