COUNTY’S JOBLESS RATE FALLS TO 5-YEAR LOW

LARIMER COUNTY UNEMPLOYMENT

PatFerrier@coloradoan.com

Larimer County’s unemployment rate dropped to 4.4 percent in April, the lowest it’s been since October 2008, according to a new jobs report released Friday by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

The rate, which was seasonally adjusted, dropped a full percentage point from March and nearly a full point compared to April 2013.

“It’s a sign of a rebounding economy and growth in certain sectors that have been driving the economy for the past six to 12 months,” said Jacob Castillo, economic develSee JOBLESS, Page A6

DYING WOMAN TO PARTICIPATE IN CSU CEREMONY

The Arizona Republic

The second in command at the Department of Veterans Affairs left Friday amid the growing controversy over patient wait times and allegations of falsification of records in Fort Collins and elsewhere.

However, the departure of Dr. Robert Petzel, the VA’s undersecretary for health, almost immediately created a new controversy: VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said he resigned, but congressional critics Robert said he had anPetzel nounced his 2014 retirement in September.

Petzel left just a day after he had joined Shinseki in a contentious hearing before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

“Today’s announcement from the VA regarding Undersecretary for Health Robert Petzel’s ‘resignation’ is the pinnacle of disingenuous political doublespeak,” Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., and chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, said in a statement. “Petzel was already scheduled to retire in 2014 and President Obama has already announced his intention to nominate Petzel’s replacement, so characterizing this as a ‘resignation’ just doesn’t pass the smell test.”

VA brass came under fire after whistleblowers instigated an internal investigation of long wait times at VA facilities, including a Fort Collins clinic. The investigation found that VA employees here falsified patient scheduling records to give the impression that veterans were

BED BUG QUICK FACTS

TATTOO WITH A LITTLE BITE

‘Bed bug tattoo gun,’ born out of an attempt to better locate blood-suckers, turns heads, some stomachs.

By Madeline Novey MadelineNovey@coloradoan.com

Michael Crespin was awfully relaxed for a guy who had a cluster of blood-hungry bed bugs gnawing at his arm.

The Colorado State University student held an upended mason jar to the inside of his left forearm for about 20 min-

utes Thursday morning. From within their glass prison, the tiny insects bit his exposed skin, their pincers darting in and out of openings in a mesh screen stretched across the mouth of the jar.

Their feast slowed as their bellies filled, and Crespin ended the feeding to reveal the faint outline of a fish just be-

low the crook of his elbow. He grinned, comparing it with the hardly distinguishable skull and cross bones applied to his right forearm the week before.

“It’s funny. There’s actually more pain in holding the jar in place for 20 minutes than them feeding,” he said, adding he’s See TATTOO, Page A9

» Bed bugs are blood-sucking insects that are hard to eradicate. » They don’t care whether people are rich or poor — only that a person is living. People shouldn’t be embarrassed if they find bed bugs in their things or homes, Colorado State University entomologist Terri Randolph says. » When traveling, Randolph recommends people leave their luggage in the hall while doing a search of a hotel or motel room.

Look along the mattress, behind pictures and along floorboards for the bed bugs’ excrement, which leaves behind bloody stains. » If you confirm the existence of bed bugs in your home or business, there are a few treatment options: Some companies will administer a cold ice slurry; and there’s traditional chemical treatments. The most effective, CSU entomologist Matt Camper said, is heat treatments, during which a company will raise the temperature in a place to 130 to 140 degrees, killing bed bugs at every stage of life. » Information: http://bit.ly/ bedbugscsu.

Colorado

EVANS Flooded mobile home parks being cleared

Right-to-try bill set to expand use of experimental drugs DENVER — Frustrated by federal

delays getting experimental medications to terminally ill patients, some states are forging so-called “Right To Try” legislation to allow access to the drugs without federal approval.

Colorado is poised to become the first state to enact the proposal when Gov. John Joann Ginal Hickenlooper signs it into law Saturday in Fort Collins. The bill, sponsored

by Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, passed unanimously through the Colorado Legislature after emotional testimony from relatives who told harrowing stories of seeking federal permission in vain to access experimental drugs.

“When you’re terminal and there’s a drug out there that might help you, it can seem that the obstacles to get that drug are insurmountable,” said Sen. Irene Agui-

lar, a physician who co-sponsored Colorado’s bill.

Aguilar dubbed the measure the “Dallas Buyers Club” bill, after the 2013 movie about a determined AIDS patient who smuggled treatments from Mexico because they weren’t cleared for use in the United States.

“Right To Try” bills await governors’ signatures in Louisiana and Missouri, and Arizona voters will decide in November whether to set up a similar program in that state.

The legislation clears the way for drug companies to provide experimental medications to patients outside of clinical trials. But drugmakers would not be required to do so.

Colorado’s bill got a careful nocomment from doctors’ groups, hospitals and health insurers. The bill was amended to clarify that health-care providers and insurers aren’t liable for any adverse effects in a patient who gets access to a drug outside clinical trials and then gets sick or dies.

Patients and relatives who support “Right To Try” laws insist they’re willing to accept any

amount of risk to gain access to experimental drugs.

Among them is Keith Knapp of Sacramento, California, whose wife, Mikaela Knapp, died last month of a rare form of kidney cancer. The Knapps tried in vain to access investigational drugs through existing “compassionate use” guidelines, which require permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“You just get caught in the bureaucracy of it all,” Keith Knapp said Friday.

But critics of “Right to Try” abound. Dr. David Gorski, a surgical oncologist and editor of the blog Science Based Medicine, insists “Right To Try” proposals are simply feel-good measures that won’t help many patients.

“These proposals are built on this fantasy that there are all these patients out there that are going to be saved if they could just get access to the medicine,” Gorski said.

“In reality, the patients that might be helped are very few, while the number of patients who could be hurt by something like this are many.”

AURORA — The wife of Aurora’s fire

chief could face a felony charge for a hit-and-run crash that injured two children in another car, police said.

Adriene Garcia rear ended a sedan stopped at a red light Wednesday night and left the scene, Aurora police said. Her Nissan Pathfinder was found about 20 minutes later.

The two children, who weren’t wearing seatbelts inside a Hyundai sedan, were taken to the hospital.

Police said one of them suffered a serious injury but is expected to recover.

Garcia’s attorney, Danny Foster, said she managed to drive the vehi-

WHY BUY GHENT?

cle more than a mile before it stalled. She then called her husband, who in turn called 911.

“They’re fully cooperating with the investigation,” Foster said.

He said Garcia suffered a brain injury several years ago and the family is investigating whether that contributed to the accident.

“We’re not quite sure why she was not cognizant of the accident,” Foster said, adding that Garcia is no longer driving pending the investigation. “She has a lot of processing issues. This is not the type of person who would flee the scene and leave her responsibilities at the door.”

Police said they expect to recommend a felony careless driving

charge against Garcia. They were also investigating whether to charge the driver of the Hyundai, whom they did not identify, for failing to restrain his children.

The Denver area has been plagued by a string of serious hitand-runs in recent years. KUSA-TV reported that 132 people have died in Colorado as a result of hit-andruns since 2008, at least 11 in 2014 alone.

Among the more alarming cases was that of a Denver man who drove his friend’s Saab into a crowded bus stop last year. Two young boys were also killed in Denver last year while crossing the street with their mother, a case that remains unsolved.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says DNA test results are inconclusive in efforts to track down the person who left tainted meatballs in a Boulder County Park.

Authorities say a chemical that sickened at least three dogs in Gunbarrel is commonly used in pesticides and rodent poisons. Boulder County Animal Control Officers say at least eight meatballs were left in a grassy area of the park.

A $4,600 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible.

Two mobile home parks in Evans that were devastated by September’s flood are being cleared.

Health officials in February warned that trash, old food, and household cleaning products left behind in the flood debris would cause problems once the weather warmed. But before the cleanup could start,park owners had to figure out how to pay for the work and how they could legally remove the damaged trailers that were owned by their tenants.

County health department director Mark Wallace says the owner of the Bella Vista park has removed a “significant” amount of debris. The owner of Eastwood Village has arranged to give away some damaged trailers. It may not be cleared for another two months.

Two years into her master’s degree studies at Colorado State University, Fort Collins resident Pat Cudd, who is living with terminal cancer, will walk with her classmates during the College of Business’s graduation Saturday.

Cudd, 62, made news in April when she went on a mission to find her pit bull mix, Sherlock, a home for after she dies. She adopted Sherlock about two years before being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, which has since spread.

The former attorney decided to continue her studies in accounting at CSU after her diagnosis. According to a news release from the university, she’s worked with instructors who have either allowed their classes to be taped or recorded their own special lectures for Cudd to watch on her own time. As of this semester, she hasn’t completed her degree.

“This is an honor beyond belief,” Cudd said about her chance to walk at graduation. “This means so very much to me but is also very important for those currently working their way through cancer. The message is this: Never give up hope.”

The College of Business’s commencement ceremony will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday at Moby Arena on the CSU campus.

It can be live-streamed through the university’s commencement website, with the link going live 15 minutes before each ceremony.

Police: Lack of communication led to 911 death Denver woman was killed by her husband 12 minutes into a call to 911; review says officers responded appropriately but dispatcher failed to relay gravity of situation.

By Sadie Gurman Associated Press

DENVER — Denver police officials blame their delayed response to a woman who

was killed 12 minutes into a 911 call on a dispatcher who failed to relay information to officers about the gravity of the situation.

An internal review re-

%'+&&(&) + )#+* %+#!$"

leased Friday says officers’ response to the woman’s home was reasonable and appropriate, given the limited information the dispatcher gave them. The dispatcher had information from the call-taker that should have been given to the responding officers about the possibility of escalating violence, police Cmdr. Matt Murray said.

Unspecified discipline is pending against the dispatcher, police said.

Kristine Kirk, 44, plead-

!((/ ! "&.), !

5(#%- 1*-3)-/ !

403/- 2(& (#& '3$.(+

ed in the 911 call for authorities to hurry and send officers April 14 because her husband had asked her to get a gun and shoot him. She said Richard Kirk, 47, was hallucinating and talking about the end of the world after eating marijuana-infused candy and taking pain pills, according to police reports.

As the call continued, she frantically said her husband was getting a gun from a safe. Within a few seconds, the call-taker could hear her

screaming. There was a single gunshot before the line went quiet.

Responding officers were unaware of those critical details before they arrived, police said Friday.

The 911 call-taker entered notes about them into a computer, but the dispatcher, who passes the information to officers, never aired the details over the radio. She gave them initial information about the call but failed to update them for 13 minutes about the rising threat of violence.

An officer only realized the seriousness of the call and summoned backup after looking at the call-taker’s notes on a computer in his squad car, but by then, Kristine Kirk was no longer speaking.

Kristine Kirk had clearly indicated that her life was in “imminent danger,” which under new policies enacted since the shooting would have allowed officers to respond with lights and sirens,

Murray said.

“Officers were not given verbal information while they were responding to the scene,” he said. “With the policy changes, there would have been a different response.”

The new policy, created partly in a response to the killing, also calls for dispatchers to air information over the radio so officers don’t have to look at their computers while driving, among other changes.

But it’s impossible to say whether the changes would have saved Kristine Kirk’s life, Murray said.

“How many minutes it would have shaved off, we don’t know,” he said.

The department continues to investigate whether the dispatcher’s work load and call volume played a role in the delay.

Richard Kirk has been charged with first-degree murder. A public defender representing him did not return calls for comment.

VA

Murawsky has been the network director of the Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 since 2009. Petzel held a similar post as director of VISN 23 from October 2002 to May 2009.

Lawmakers on Thursday grilled both Petzel and Shinseki over documents showing that the agency had known for several years about ongoing patient-care delays and VA employees’ efforts to cover up long wait times by gaming the VA scheduling system.

The disclosures in Phoenix created a wave of similar revelations at other VA facilities across the nation, putting Shinseki and his top administrators in the line of political fire. Senators said Thursday that they now have information on problems at VA facilities in at least 10 states — including Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and Wyoming.

Dr. Jeffrey A. Murawsky will fill Petzel’s post, according to a White House announcement made May 1.

receiving care sooner than they were.

Whistleblowers in Phoenix have alleged that as many as 40 veterans may have died while awaiting appointments through the Phoenix VA Health Care System. They also have claimed document fraud in reporting wait times at Phoenix facilities.

Shinseki’s announcement at midday that he had accepted Petzel’s resignation didn’t directly address the wait-time controversy.

“As we know from the veteran community, most veterans are satisfied with the quality of their VA health care,,” Shinseki said.

“But we must do more to improve the timely access to that care.

tem,” he said, echoing his testimony Thursday.

Colorado Republican Rep. Mike Coffman on Friday issued a release blasting Petzel’s departure, saying, “This is nothing more than an attempt to misinform, an attempt to make us think that serious change is taking place. ... To right the overturned ship that is the VA, Secretary Shinseki must go or we will be doomed to allow the failings of the VA to perpetuate.”

who has been critical of Petzel, thinks the undersecretary’s departure is a political move to shift blame on someone who was leaving anyway. Flake said Friday that he had criticized Petzel to Shinseki earlier this month in a telephone call after Petzel said a preliminary review indicated no evidence to support allegations of misconduct at the Phoenix health center.

Petzel’s remarks seemed “completely tone-deaf” to the scandal and an ongoing investigation by the VA’s Office of Inspector General, Flake said.

“When I talked to Shinseki, I said I thought that his comments were unfortunate because they basically implied that all was clear and there were no problems,” Flake said. “And Shinseki said that I was right, that it was unfortunate, and that he instructed all of his subordinates not to make such statements in the future.”

“I could tell that Shinseki was annoyed. That statement by Petzel had given leadership a lot of grief because it basically was preempting the IG report,” Flake said.

Sen. Jerry Moran, RKan., a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee who has called for Shinseki’s resignation, noted Friday that while Petzel was retiring anyway, Shinseki’s announcement was evidence of dysfunction at the VA. “It is important to note that Undersecretary Petzel was the only VA witness at the Senate VA Committee hearing who admitted knowledge of IG reports. He should not shoulder the blame for VA’s failures,” he said Friday in a written statement.

opment manager and enterprise zone administrator at the Larimer County Workforce Center.

“We’ve seen growth in health care, manufacturing and construction,” he said.

But there remains “a portion of the population struggling to find jobs. We see that every day in the Workforce Center,” he said.

Larimer County employment grew by more than 1,800 jobs in April, when the labor force reduced by only 16 people.

The statistics do not tell how many of those workers who found jobs are underemployed, working part time or have summer jobs.

“The unemployment stats paint a sanguine picture of a more robust employment dynamic, but there are still issues we’re addressing,” Castillo said.

“We are making sure we’re tackling the issues of the skills gap so employers can find the talent they need at the time they need it and job-seekers have the skills they need to move right in to gainful employment.”

Larimer County’s unemployment rate grew steadily during the recession, hitting its peak in January 2010 when the jobless rate hit 8.4 percent. It fluctuated through the first couple of years of the decade but has been on a downward trend since then, dropping below 6 percent in September 2012.

Colorado unemployment dropped to 6 percent in April, the lowest level the state has seen since the beginning of the Great Recession.

The state labor department said Friday that nearly 14,000 jobs were added between March and April, the 30th straight month of job growth. The leisure and hospitality industry, education and health services added the most jobs.

The last time the state’s unemployment rate was 6 percent or less was in November 2008, when it hit 5.7 percent.

Tattoo Continued from Page A1

excited to see “what kind of reaction I get.”

No needles or ink were used in the making of this tattoo. This process is perhaps a little more creepy crawly, not to mention temporary.

It’s tattooing via bites done in the name of science — but there’s an accompanying aesthetic appeal for those who have gone under the bed bug tattoo gun.

CSU entomologist Terri Randolph acquired a bed bug colony several years ago.

The idea was to train her beagle, Bob, then 3, to sniff out the pests that stow away in luggage and take up unwelcome residence in homes and hotels. She would first let the tiny crawlers feed off her so they’d smell like a human, and then hide them in vials around her house for Bob to seek out.

To Bob, it was a game that yielded treats. To Randolph, it was a way to help people find the hard-to-eradicate insects that don’t care whether their hosts are rich or poor — only that they’re alive.

The welts the bugs left on Randolph’s body grew more severe over time; each person has a different physical reaction. So she found willing volunteers, or victims, she jokes, in her colleagues at CSU, who started feeding the bed bugs so Bob’s training could continue. That was in 2009.

One day, Randolph and others decided to create a template out of paper they laid over the mesh on the jar.

This would force the bed bugs to bite at a person’s skin exposed within a predesignated area.

A person’s immune cells will flood into their tissues from the blood, producing redness and swelling — the tattoo. It can take a day or two for the tattoos to really show up on a person’s skin.

Bed bugs can’t pass bloodborn diseases to humans. As

far as infections go, a person could get one if they were harboring bacteria under their fingernails and scratched at the bug bite tattoo, which can get quite itchy. That’s why Randolph tells people they can’t scratch, as much as they’d like to.

Whitney Cranshaw, a professor and entomologist, was the group’s guinea pig. He got the first temporary bed bug tattoo in the shape of a shamrock. Other holidaythemed shapes ensued, including hearts and a bunny for Easter.

That’s what CSU instructor and urban entomologist Matt Camper sported after subjecting himself to the hungry bed bugs. Even though he posted a video of the experience in 2009, it recently caught the attention of people at the show “Outrageous Acts of Science.”

The episode featuring CSU aired May 10 , but neither Randolph nor Camper had an opportunity to watch it.

“All we know is that we’re No. 8 in ‘Outrageous Acts of Science,’ ” Camper said, laughing.

WEB WORK PROVIDES

CREATIVE OUTLET

By Pat Ferrier PatFerrier@coloradoan.com

Question: Explain what you do.

Answer: I own and manage a website development company, Copper Leaf Creative, creating custom websites for small- and medium-size businesses.

Q: How did you get into the business?

A: I’m artistic. I never learned to paint, sculpt or even draw very well. I first started dabbling in Adobe Photoshop in 2000 and applied those skills to working with websites the same year.

I launched my first website as a freelancer for a paid client in 2001.

I then fell out of the business, got a B.S. in psychology from Colorado State University and found my way back to the industry in 2008 as an employee. I started Front Range Creative in 2008, which then grew into Copper Leaf Creative in 2011.

Q: What are the biggest challenges you or your industry face?

A: My biggest challenge is achieving the American Dream the hard way — actually bootstrapping a company by delivering a quality product and leveraging those proceeds to grow. We carry virtually no debt and have no investors. We are growing organically, though the pace of that growth can be frustrating and very difficult.

Q: What are the biggest rewards of your job?

A: What I find most rewarding is the creative outlet. Not having learned any other artistic skill, building websites allows me to cre-

ate, putting things out in the world.

Secondarily, I love the social value of growing a team of creative individuals striving toward a common goal and having fun doing it. Finally, being recognized as an expert and valued asset is quite rewarding.

Q: What advice do you have for someone else thinking about a career in your field?

A: Web development is a big field all by itself — let alone the larger “working with computers” field. Find the aspect of development you love; become a ninja at that; do that; love what you do.

Q: What did you want to be when you grew up?

A: I truly never had that much foresight. I never saw past 25 until I was 27.

Q: Where do you see yourself careerwise in 10 years?

A: Owning three or four companies staffed by talented, passionate professionals, managed independently from each other and from me, and always looking for what I’d like to do next.

Q: Outside of work, what’s your favorite thing to do and your favorite place to do it?

A: Socialize. Wherever the right people are is the right place to be.

Q: What role does volunteerism/giving back play in your work or personal life?

A: I grew up participating in myriad volunteer opportunities from Boy Scouts to church-related missions. Over the past year, I have gotten more involved with the Mountain View Rotary Club. Also,

GORDON SEIRUP » Age: 29 » Occupation: Entrepreneur, owner of custom website company Copper Leaf Creative » Education: Bachelor of Science in psychology, Colorado State University » Family: Wife, two dogs » Contact information: gordon@ copperleafcreative, (970) 744-8246

Copper Leaf Creative donates Web development and related services to a number of nonprofits.

Q: What role does social media play in your business and how do you utilize it?

A: Very little. I hop on Facebook a couple of times per month and usually with a specific purpose. Social media is ever-present professionally.

Q: Where is your favorite spot in Loveland and why?

A: My backyard. My wife and I bought a terribly neglected house with about 32 square feet of grass in the backyard. Now the backyard features a 600-square-foot patio and expansive grass. With the generous help of many friends, we built it all ourselves.

Sitting back there watching the world go by is very relaxing and rewarding.

Q: What do you do in your leisure time?

A: Sail, hike, camp, 4-wheel Q: If you could interview one person in the world, who would that be?

A: Sir Richard Branson

The Better Business Bureau serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming launches this month a Center for Nonprofit Excellence and formal charity review program.

Carrie Rossman, director of the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust locally, said the center’s charity review will put nonprofits to the test of 20 stringent standards in four categories: governance and oversight, measuring effectiveness, financials, and fundraising and informational materials.

Examples include ensuring a board of directors has no fewer than five voting members, that an organization assesses its performance and effectiveness every two years, that at least 65 percent of total expenses are spent on program activities and that any promotional materials are truthful.

“They’re stringent standards but we believe a charity — if they have a quality board and staff — should not find these standards challenging,” Rossman said. “We really view this as a set of best practices. Meeting and working toward (the standards) can put them on a launching pad for collaboration and raising more dollars.”

The review is free to nonprofit organizations, which are considered accredited upon completion of the 20 standards. A licensing fee is required for any organization using the BBB seal. Rossman said the fee is variable according to nonprofit size but starts around $150.

“That seal is a trust mark,” she said. “It helps their donor know that they’re trustworthy.”

Reviewing charities is nothing new to the longstanding organization, which began more than a century ago. Rossman said the newly formed Center for Nonprofit Excellence is one of three programs in the Institute for Marketplace Trust, formerly known as the BBB Foundation.

The Center for Fraud Prevention launched last fall. The Center for Character Ethics launched this spring.

The Center for Nonprofit Excellence will be formally announced May 29 at the United Way Technical Assistance Partnership Spring Symposium.

I am thrilled the school board gave unanimous support to the Fort Collins Montessori School, or FCMS. Opening this fall, not delaying a year, means FCMS will be able to keep Frank Vincent as head of the school. He has more than 40 years of experience in Montessori education and is highly regarded within the Montessori community. He knows how to make FCMS a success. Personally, I am an advocate of Montessori education because of the mixed-age classrooms, the three-hour work block, and the unique Montessori materials. The mixed-age classroom allows the younger students to be inspired by the older ones, and gives the older students a chance to be a mentor and a teacher to the younger ones.

The three-hour work block encourages students to get immersed in their work, developing in them an ability to focus and self-direct.

The Montessori materials are developed in a way so the students know when they have mastered the material; they are not depending on the teacher to tell them if they’ve gotten it right. This feature encourages the students to take ownership of their own learning, independent of any exterior reward or validation. These are real-life skills being encouraged and developed.

Also, having gotten to know many of the FCMS parents, this is an amazing community of dedicated and inspiring people. I’ve been hoping for a school like FCMS for my boys and want to thank the PSD board for its unanimous support of it.

DAVID SIROTA COLUMN: JOURNALISM

It would be a real tragedy if journalism lost its nerve

When I went into journalism, one of the first things I was told as a freshman is that journalism is different from stenography. It is supposed to be — or at least has been — about using rights granted under the First Amendment to be a check on government and corporate power.

Yet, the hedge in that last sentence is deliberate because a new survey from the Indiana University suggests things are fast changing in the news industry — and not for the better.

The latest in 42 years worth of surveys of journalists, this one polled more than 1,000 reporters in the latter half of 2013. That time frame is significant — it was right when revelations about the NSA’s mass surveillance were being published.

As IU researchers note, “The percentage of U.S. journalists endorsing the occasional use of ‘confidential business or government documents without authorization,’ dropped significantly from 81.8 percent in 1992 to 57.7 percent in 2013.”

To really understand the implications of this shift, think back to almost every famous investigative scoop. Then ask yourself: What would have happened to those stories had they only come to one of those 4 in 10 reporters who oppose the use of “confidential business or government documents without authorization”?

The answer, most likely, is those stories would never have been published, and history might have unfolded in an entirely different way. Maybe “The Jungle” would never have been written, and then the most basic food safety standards would never have become law. Maybe Richard Nixon would have served two full terms.

And maybe we would still know very little about just how much our own government is surveilling us.

“The job” is now defined differently depending on where you may be in the news ecosystem.

And in much of that ecosystem, the risks and costs associated with adversarial journalism have reduced “the job” to that of a loyal state- and corporate-aligned journalist. This is why so many Washington reporters publicly slammed the NSA disclosures. It also explains why financial journalists so often defend Wall Street.

Simply put, the path that avoids regular confrontation with power is often far easier, less risky and more lucrative in the news business. Thus, it has become the preferred path, to the point where almost half of the news business does not support reporting news that the government and corporations don’t want reported. And who knows? Maybe the next IU survey 10 years from now shows a full-on majority of journalists saying news outlets shouldn’t publish without the express consent of the corporations and governments.

That would no doubt make the CEOs and politicians quite happy, but it would be a tragedy for the rest of us.

AMMAN, JORDAN The rebel abandonment of Homs, a city known as the “capital of the revolution,” is the strongest sign yet that the dream of toppling Syrian dictator Bashar Assad from within has failed.

“We were under siege for so long,” said rebel Orhan Ghazi.

“The people of Homs have begun to move away from thinking about the revolution. They want to live, and that’s it.”

Assad is running for re-election June 3 for a job in which he is the only real candidate at a time when the Sunni rebels who have fought his regime for three years are severely weakened by losses in what were once their strongholds.

Last week green buses full of armed rebels snaked their way through the ruins of Homs, a rebel bastion that had been pounded from the air by Assad forces since May 2011. Rebels had withstood shelling and snipers, a cut-

addition, GM agreed to give the DOT’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration “full access to the results of GM’s internal investigation into this recall.”

That’s a big concession by GM. CEO Mary Barra told congressional committees in April that she only would hand over parts directly related to safety. Anton Valukas, chairman of the Chicago-based law firm Jenner & Block and a former U.S. attorney, is handling GM’s internal probe.

GM agreed to continue paying $7,000 per day — the maximum fine — for missing NHTSA’s deadline for documents it demanded about the recall. It now will pay until it delivers Valukas’ report, expected by June 30.

The GM settlement “puts all manufacturers on notice that they will be held accountable if they fail to quickly report and address safety-related defects,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said.

General Motors was slapped with a record $35 million fine by the Department of Transportation for delays in recalling 2.6 million older-model small cars with an ignition switch defect that has been linked to at least 13 deaths.

The fine, the maximum the DOT can impose, is part of a consent deal announced Friday to settle the department’s inquiry into whether GM notified the government within the required five business days after finding a safety defect. GM admits in the agreement that it did not.

The government says GM also agreed to make “significant and wide-ranging internal changes” in how it handles safety issues. In

As some San Diego County residents returned home to face a charred landscape Friday, investigators worked to determine the cause of a string of dangerous wildfires.

A 57-year-old man has been charged with arson in one of 10 wildfires that swept the San Diego region this week.

Alberto Serrato pleaded not guilty Friday in connection with a 105-acre fire in suburban Oceanside, which was started Wednesday and is fully contained.

Tanya Sierra, a spokeswoman for the San Diego County district attorney’s office, said witnesses saw Serrato adding brush to the flames near homes, but he was not seen starting the fire.

Meanwhile, two teens were ar-

A helicopter drops water near homes at the Cocos fire Friday in San Marcos, Calif. Ten wildfires are threatening the region. rested Thursday evening on suspicion of attempted arson, according to NBC San Diego.

Escondido Police Lt. Neal Griffin said investigators could not yet connect them to any of the larger fires.

Residents of two neighbor-

hoods in a suburb north of San Diego were allowed to return home as crews built containment lines around the fires.

Fires have destroyed at least eight houses, an 18-unit condo complex and two businesses since Tuesday. The hardest-hit

areas were in San Marcos and Carlsbad, a suburb of 110,000 people that lifted evacuation orders late Thursday.

State fire officials said one fire was found to have been caused by a spark from construction equipment. It could take months to get to the bottom of the most damaging fires. “We are not ruling out anything,” San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said.

Firefighters found a burned body Thursday in a transient camp in Carlsbad — the first apparent fatality.

At Camp Pendleton, all non-essential staff were ordered to leave Friday because a third wildfire has ignited on the Marine base.

Tourists coming to San Diego faced a somewhat surreal situation. “The view of the fires on the fly-in was a little bit terrifying,” said Sam Pfeifle from Maine.

As of Thursday, the entire state of California is in a severe, or worse, drought.

Citizen patrols push out pro-Russia rebels

Steelworkers restore calm in east Ukraine city Portia Walker

Special for USA TODAY

MARIUPOL , UKRAINE In this rusty steel town is a possible game changer for the conflict in Ukraine.

Workers in Mariupol, a troubled city in the country’s southeast, are restoring order to their streets with peaceful patrols.

Groups of unarmed volunteers, some wearing the red and gray jackets of the steelworks they are employed by, are removing roadblocks and pushing out pro-Russia separatists.

The patrols began this week after Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest man and a powerful force in the area, mobilized steelworkers in his factories to join local police in restoring calm to the city’s streets.

“I strongly believe that Don-

bass can only be happy in a united Ukraine,” he said, referring to the local name for this region of eastern Ukraine.

Pro-Russia insurgents have retreated from government buildings in this major eastern Ukrainian city — the second largest in the region — as steelworkers began citizen patrols.

Mariupol was one of the cities overrun by pro-Russia protesters who have been in control of government buildings there for weeks. Last week as many as 20 pro-Russia fighters were killed in violent clashes with Ukrainian forces.

Akhmetov, a magnate whom Forbes magazine this year listed as worth $12 billion, had formerly supported ousted Ukraine president Victor Yanukovych, a proMoscow ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin who fled to Russia in February.

At the Azovstal industrial plant here on Friday, executives from the steelworks posed before TV crews and reporters, signing a memorandum pledging order and security in the city.

EVGENIY MALOLETKA, AP

“The factories are beyond politics. We just watch over so there is peace in the city.”

Alexander Levada, citizen patrol

Several dozen steelworkers were clearing out the barricades outside the government building on Friday. Passersby commented on how the patrols helped crack down on burglaries and carjackings that became a norm after the pro-Russia insurgents asserted themselves in the city earlier this month.

The steelworks invited journalists to follow one of the patrols. “Now there are no more looters on the street,” said Alex-

off of water and electricity, and the obliteration of their neighborhoods one after the other.

Hemmed into the Old Quarter of the city, the anti-Assad fighters had no choice but to retreat.

“The rebels are in bad shape — they can’t win this war,” said Joshua Lendis, director of the Center for Middle East studies at the University of Oklahoma. “On the other hand, it is going to be hard for the regime to defeat them because the rebels get money and arms from the outside.”

With the fall of Homs, the Syrian government now controls about 50% of the territory, says former general Wehbe Katisha, a Lebanese military expert.

A year ago, it looked as if Assad may go the way of other Arab despots toppled by popular uprisings demanding democratic reforms.

The “Arab Spring” ousted dictators in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.

In Syria, Sunni Muslims who are the majority had risen up in 2011 and taken territory countrywide. Bolstered by an influx of foreign militants seeking an Islamic state, rebels inched within miles of the capital of Damascus.

President Obama and European powers were poised in August to launch strikes against Syrian positions for Assad’s use of chemical weapons to massacre hundreds of civilians in violation of a “red-line” Obama had set for taking action.

But Shiite Muslim fighters from Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon poured into Syria to take the lead in battles against rebels. Iran sent in military trainers and officers, and Russia blocked military action at the U.N. Security Council and refused to abide by a ban on weaponry to its ally,

Assad. Obama backed away from his threat to bombard Syria.

“Obama’s policy towards Syria ... will have adverse effects on the long-run for both the U.S. as well as for us Syrians,” says Syrian activist Abu Obeida al-Chami, who has fled the Damascus suburbs to nearby Lebanon.

National Security adviser Susan Rice has said the USA will continue “to empower the moderate Syrian opposition” inside Syria despite the latest developments. But the U.S. will not deviate from limiting its assistance to non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition, the White House says.

Many rebels say they would have defeated Assad’s regime by now had the West provided them with heavier weapons.

Ammar al-Hosn, an activist who spoke from the Ghouta region, said the Sunnis were able to win the battle themselves if they received weapons instead of encouraging words from the West.

“We are fighting with light and medium-range weapons ... but it is not enough,” he says.

Al-Hosn admits that some of the fault lies with themselves.

“The infighting among rebel groups has distracted them from

their original objective of overthrowing the regime,” he says.

Meanwhile, the evacuation from Old Homs as it is known, began last week. A U.N.-brokered deal between the two fronts allowed around 2,000 fighters to head to safer areas.

Regime supporters see the deal as a win. “The settlement ... is a major breakthrough leading to the restoration of safety and stability in Old Homs,” Homs governor Talal al-Barazi told pro-regime newspaper al-Watan.

Rebels say the regime is making too much of the withdrawal.

“Homs is the capital of the revolution. It falls and Syria will be even more divided,” said Ahmed al-Ahmed, a rebel in Aleppo.

Abu Odai, spokesperson for the rebel group Feiliq a-Rahman, agrees that the revolution will live on. “If this truce is completed in Homs, it does not mean Homs has fallen into regime hands, it means the rebels of Homs will continue their struggle in other areas,” he added. “Homs is a single place, not all of Syria.”

IN BRIEF LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR INDIAN OPPOSITION PARTY

India’s opposition leader, Narendra Modi, will become the next prime minister of the world’s largest democracy, winning the most decisive election victory the country has seen in three decades and sweeping the long-dominant Congress party from power.

Modi, a career politician whose campaign promised a revival of economic growth, will have a strong mandate to govern at a time of profound changes in Indian society. He also has said he wants to strengthen India’s strategic partnership with the United States. But critics worry the ascendance of his Hindu nationalist party could worsen sectarian tensions with India’s minority 138 million Muslims.

The results were a crushing defeat for the Congress party, which is entwined with the NehruGandhi political dynasty.

IRAN NUCLEAR MEETING ENDS WITH SETBACKS

Iran nuclear talks stalled Fri-

ander Levada, one of the men who worked at the Illyria steelworks and said he had joined the patrol four days ago. “Before it was not safe to walk the streets.”

Levada stressed that the steelworkers were not politicized and intended only to calm the situation. “The factories are beyond politics. We just watch over so there is peace in the city.”

But it was clear there were still deep divisions in town. The patrol melted away as angry proRussians gathered outside city hall. The building, damaged in recent clashes, still carried the flag of the separatist Donetsk Peoples’ Republic. Speakers shouted antiKiev slogans.

“We are here against the politics of Akhmetov. He is afraid to lose his money,” said Alexander Sukhorsky, 48, an unemployed welder who joined the protest.

German Mandrakov, who had led pro-Russia forces that took over government buildings here, told the Associated Press that “someone is trying to sow discord among us ... but we will continue our fight.”

BEIJING Vietnam’s Prime Minister texted millions of citizens late Thursday, encouraging them to defend the nation’s sovereignty in a dispute with China over an oil rig that left at least two Chinese workers dead and 100 injured.

Nguyen Tan Dung warned against letting “bad elements” engage in violence, but did not directly condemn anti-China riots in Vietnam this week. Vietnamese authorities have arrested over 600 suspects, but more protests are planned Sunday.

“As long as the oil rig is not withdrawn from Vietnam’s continental shelf,” the people will continue to demonstrate, said Le Dang Doanh, a Vietnamese economist and former government adviser in Hanoi.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying accused Hanoi on Thursday of “indulgence and connivance” toward the mobs that attacked Chinese factories in Vietnam this week.

Vietnamese remain suspicious of China, with whom they fought a border war in 1979. A clash in 1974 gave China de facto control of the Paracel Islands, where China towed an oil rig May 1. That move sparked the latest troubles.

Vietnam says 80 Chinese ships are protecting the rig, deployed about 120 miles from Vietnam’s coast and well within Vietnam’s 200-mile exclusive economic zone, as defined by the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

UC-BERKELEY AT EASE WITH ROTC, VETERANS

Détente has come to Berkeley.

The University of CaliforniaBerkeley, once synonymous with antiwar activism, is expanding efforts to attract veterans and welcome the military to campus.

For its part, the military is expanding ROTC on campus.

“Those old days are gone,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Suhr, an Army ROTC professor at the university.

The Army ROTC program has grown to 44 cadets currently, up from 32 in 2012.

Berkeley’s Haas School of Business has about 21 veterans out of a total enrollment of 487 and has worked to expand that number. Business school applications from veterans increased to 102 for the 2014 academic year, up from 39 in 2011.

Suhr said the anti-military reputation doesn’t fit anymore although the stigma associated with it sometimes hurts efforts to recruit ROTC students, who fear they will encounter hostility on the campus.

TEXAS ABORTION LAW HINDERS RIGHTS TO CARE

In Valley, women’s access to services involves lot of risk Rick Jervis USA TODAY

BROWNSVILLE ,

TEXAS The women who visit Lucy Felix at her advocacy center are lately faced with a slate of difficult choices: risk deportation to drive to a clinic, cross the nearby border into Mexico for a risky abortion or keep an unwanted, unplanned pregnancy to term.

Since Texas lawmakers passed new restrictions on abortion clinics last year, the number of clinics in the Rio Grande Valley that perform the service has dropped from two to zero, forcing women to drive more than 300 miles round trip to other cities for services or attempt riskier procedures across the border.

In the Valley, the poorest part of the state, the law is crippling women’s rights to abortions, said Felix, a Brownsville-based field coordinator with the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. Under Texas House Bill 2, doctors who perform abortions must have admitting privileges at area hospitals, abortions past 20 weeks are banned and clinics must have ambulatory surgical centers.

In the wake of the new rules, the number of licensed facilities in Texas dropped from 41 in 2011 to 24, the state Department of State Health Services says. When the ambulatory surgical centers requirement kicks in Sept. 1, that number could fall to six.

Supporters of the law say the measures are to ensure the safety of women. “The state of Texas is not closing these abortion facilities,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life.

“The abortion facilities are deciding they do not wish to provide

the new health and safety standards the state requires.”

But the closing clinics often can’t afford the costly additions required by the law and amount to unlawful restrictions of abortion rights guaranteed by the U.S. Supreme Court, said Julie Rikelman, legislative director of the Center for Reproductive Rights.

After the law passed, two abortion clinics in the Rio Grande Valley — one in McAllen, the other in Harlingen — closed, leaving Corpus Christi, 160 miles away, the nearest alternative, said Dan Grossman with Ibis Reproductive Health, a group that studies women’s health. After Sept. 1, the Corpus clinic is to close, as well.

Road trips to Corpus Christi or San Antonio pass through Border Patrol checkpoints, which deter many women who don’t have proper immigration status, Grossman said. Some in the Rio Grande Valley are turning to other alternatives, including risky self-induced abortions, he said.

DOCTOR VISITS UP FOR SERVICEMEMBERS

The brutal legacy of more than a decade of war on the U.S. military is made plain in a study released Thursday. It shows that, on average, each service member visited a doctor more than once a month last year — the highest-ever rate for out-patient treatment.

The pace of more than 14 outpatient visits per service member in 2013 was a rate nearly 60% higher than in 2004, and up slightly from 2012.

A little less than half the visits were for routine health care or chronic issues requiring counseling or physical rehabilitation.

The analysis was released in the April edition of the Pentagon’s “Medical Surveillance Monthly Report.”

This Memorial Day will see the second highest number of travelers on the roads and in the skies since 2000 and the highest since the recession, auto club AAA said Friday.

The long, rough winter coupled with a slow but steady economic recovery and gas prices about the same as last year, will contribute to a 1.5% increase over last year in Memorial Day travel, said Mar-

shall Doney, AAA’s chief operating officer. AAA expects 36.1 million people to travel at least 50 miles from home from May 22 through May 26, up from 35.5 million last year.

Of those traveling for Memorial Day, 31.8 million will go by automobile, a 1.2% increase over last year; 2.6 million will fly, a 2.4% increase, and 1.7 million will go by train, bus or ship, a 6.5% increase, according to AAA. “The freezing cold winter ... has generated hot demand for summer travel,” Doney said at a news conference at Reagan National airport outside Washington, D.C.

The good news for drivers: The price of gasoline — $3.65 a gallon this year compared with $3.63 last year — is expected to continue to fall through the holiday, AAA said.

Some of the fierce fires this week in Southern California have spawned fire whirls, also called firenadoes or fire tornadoes.

A fire whirl is a “spinning vortex column of ascending hot air and gases rising from a fire and carrying aloft smoke, debris, and flame,” according to the Bureau of Land Management’s Glossary of Wildland Fire Termonology.

“Fire whirls range in size from less than 1 foot to more than 500 feet in diameter. Large fire whirls have the intensity of a small tornado.”

Fire whirls can form in any size fire and are most destructive in large fires. Created by cool air rushing to take the place of hot air, the spinning can hurl embers great distances. Whirls usually intensify a wildfire.

“There are little vortices all over the place on the edge of where the fire is forming,” meteorologist Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory said. “Put vertical motion on top of them (there’s lots of that available around a fire) and it will rapidly concentrate and intensify the rotation,” he said.

Fire whirls are also more likely to occur where winds are forced to change directions, such as near a grove of trees.

IN BRIEF ARK. HIGH COURT SUSPENDS GAY MARRIAGE RULING

Arkansas’ highest court has suspended a judge’s ruling striking down the state’s same-sex marriage ban, halting the distribution of licenses that have been issued to hundreds of gay couples.

The state Supreme Court on Friday granted a request to suspend Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza’s decision voiding a 2004 constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Piazza last week struck down the ban, but expanded that ruling on Thursday to include all state laws preventing gay couples from marrying.

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel and four counties named in the lawsuit asked justices to stay Piazza’s ruling while it’s on appeal.

Requests to be ‘forgotten’ pour in Europeans jump on judge’s ruling Elizabeth Weise

@eweise USA TODAY

Just days after the European High Court of Justice ruled that people have the “right to be forgotten,” Google is getting requests from criminals wanting links to information about their crimes removed.

Tuesday’s ruling stated that under European privacy laws, individuals can have the right to request search engines remove links to information they feel is no longer relevant.

As of Friday, Google had received multiple such requests from Europeans, a source close to the company familiar with the situation told USA TODAY. How the requirement will be implemented isn’t yet known.

“That’s the question that everybody is asking themselves at this point,” said Rita Di Antonio, European director for the International Association of Privacy Professionals in Giulianova, Italy.

It appears Google plans to comply with the court’s ruling.

In a statement, the company said, “this is logistically complicated — not least because of the many languages involved and the need for careful review. As soon as we have thought through exactly how this will work, which may take several weeks, we will let our users know.”

It will be difficult for Google to pick and choose which requests it will honor, said Eduardo Ustaran, a lawyer who specializes in privacy law in London.

If it rejects a request, “regulators in each member state would then have to fight in the citizen’s corner,” Ustaran, author of The Future of Privacy, said. “How are they going to deal with what could become tens of thousands of requests?”

The court ruled that while the paper could keep the page up on its own site, Google must remove the listing from its search index.

The ruling only applies to information retrieved by searching on an individual’s name, and requests would have to be by the individual, legal experts said.

For example, a Nazi war criminal could ask Google to remove the link to a Wikipedia page about him or her, but couldn’t “ask Wikipedia to take down the page,” said Edwards.

The simplest and cheapest option would be for the Internet search company to “automate the takedown with some simple forms and then let others worry about whether it has public interest implications,” said Lilian Edwards, a professor of Internet law at University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.

The ruling came out of a request by Mario Consteja Gonzalez of Spain about a legal notice that appeared in La Vanguardia newspaper in Barcelona about his home’s repossession and auction in 1998.

He said “proceedings concerning him had been fully resolved

Darden Restaurants said Friday it has agreed to sell its Red Lobster casual dining chain and related real estate assets to investment firm Golden Gate Capital for $2.1 billion.

Shares of Darden fell $2.20, or 4.3%, to close at $48.49 on Friday.

The deal lets Darden shed its worst-performing chain to pay off some debt and focus on its flagship Olive Garden chain, which also has been struggling.

Darden will receive net cash proceeds, after tax and transaction costs, of about $1.6 billion for the seafood chain with 700 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.

Orlando-based Darden says it will use $1 billion to pay off debt and use the rest to buy back shares.

Sales at casual dining restaurants have been sluggish, with industry analysts blaming a general lack of innovation and also less appeal for younger consumers.

Darden had considered various plans to unload Red Lobster, including a spinoff. Darden also approached real estate buyers about sale-leaseback financing for the business.

Golden Gate, a private equity firm in San Francisco, announced a sale-leaseback deal Friday, to reduce its exposure to Red Lobster’s real estate. In the $1.5 billion deal with American Realty Capital Properties for more than 500 Red Lobster restaurants, Golden Gate will sell the land and buildings to ARCP and lease them back.

Darden said it chose Golden Gate because it was an all-cash offer and the deal allows the company to maintain its current dividend of 55 cents per share, or $2.20 per year.

Red Lobster has been the laggard among Darden’s chains, which also include LongHorn Steakhouse and The Capital Grille. In the fiscal third quarter ended Feb. 23, Red Lobster’s sales at locations open at least a year fell 8.8% from a year ago to $611 million, and visits were down nearly 12%.

In comparison, LongHorn Steakhouse sales rose 0.3%, and Olive Garden declined 5.4%.

The company said that removing Red Lobster from its portfolio frees it to focus on reinvigorating Olive Garden, the company’s leading revenue generator.

In the little village of Schadenfreude, the hills echo with the sound of laughter at the expense of others. Most days, something as simple as stepping on a rake is enough to send the villagers twittering merrily.

walloped those from older, stodgier tech companies such as Microsoft, Cisco and Intel.

But the laughter has faded in recent weeks, as big, dividendpaying tech companies have (largely) held up in the tech retrenchment. In fact, there’s a growing realization that big tech can pay big dividends — something that’s good for both retirees and young investors.

that doubles or triples rapidly, giving you the chance to scoff at the losers who invest in more prosaic names, such as Coca-Cola or Wells Fargo. Unfortunately, tech stocks that soar typically fall on their faces eventually. Most small tech spitfires are trades, not long-term investments. For every Apple, there are dozens of Pets.com.

Last year, tech companies that paid no dividends clobbered their less exciting brethren. The tech-

laden Nasdaq composite index has 603 tech companies, of which 127 pay dividends. In 2013, the non-payers averaged a 57% gain, vs. 45% for dividend payers, including dividends, according to S&P Capital IQ. But the giddy trills of laughter are coming from dividend payers this year. So far this year, tech dividend payers are up 1.2%, vs. a 6.3% loss for non-payers.

Tech stocks are noted for volatility, and dividends have two benefits in rocky markets. The first is that their cash payouts will cushion your losses in a bad market. The other is that companies that pay regular, reasonable dividends tend to be more financially stable than those that don’t.

Part of the reason is that once you pay a dividend, Wall Street gets very testy if you cut or susv STORY CONTINUES ON 6B

They will focus on home sales, earnings from companies that sell stuff to homeowners and the much-anticipated release of the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s April 2930 meeting, which will shed some light on when the Fed might start hiking interest rates.

Beware of too-high dividends pend it. Investors rely on dividends, and when investors are disappointed, they clobber the stock. So companies think long and hard before they decide to pay a dividend.

It’s worth noting that companies with unusually high dividends tend to underperform.

Companies don’t dole out lavish dividends because they’re swell folks. A dividend yield is the payout divided by the stock price.

Most likely, a high dividend yield means the stock price has fallen.

Berkshire Class B shares are an easy option

Q: Should I copy Warren Buffett’s stock picks?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Imitation may be a sincere form of flattery, but it’s not a great way to make money with stocks.

Every quarter Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway discloses its ownership stakes in public companies. Investors pay a great deal of attention to Berkshire’s portfolio because Buffett has had a solid long-term track record at picking winning stocks and sticking with them.

Most recently Buffett disclosed new stakes in companies, including one in telecom Verizon. He also said he’s reducing holdings in General Motors.

There’s not much of a reason to mimic the moves, though. Most important, why mimic Berkshire when you can simply buy the real thing?

After years of resisting a split, Berkshire finally announced a split of its Class B shares in 2009.

The shares trade for about $125 apiece now, so there’s nothing to stop you from just investing in the company itself. Doing so will eliminate the timing issues that come with copying Buffett. Shares of Verizon jumped 2% the day after Berkshire disclosed its stake.

If anything, investors might use the Berkshire endorsement as a validation of stocks they own already or are thinking about buying. If a stock passed muster with Buffett, it definitely must have some attraction to long-term investors.

uMicrosoft (ticker: MSFT).

Microsoft survived the tech wreck with considerable aplomb.

The company sells for 13 times its expected 12-month earnings, which makes it cheap by most standards (the lower the P-E, the cheaper the stock, relative to earnings). And it’s sitting on $77 billion in cash. Yield: 2.66%. uIntel (INTC). Another survivor of the tech wreck, the chip giant has been a disappointment the past 12 months. But it has about $12 billion in cash, a P-E of 12.4, and a yield of 3.42%. uCisco (CSCO). Wall Street woke up to the company on Wednesday, with its stock soaring 7% on a great earnings report.

But the company still yields

3.07%, carries a P-E of 11.3, and has $50.6 billion in cash. uTexas Instruments (TXN).

The company is up 5.2% this year and has $1.6 billion in cash. Its P-E is 16.9, and its dividend yield is 2.56%. uSymantec (SYMC). The stock sells for 11 times earnings and yields 2.8%, and one reason it’s so cheap is that it has fallen 13% this year. Still, it’s hard to imagine that the market for computer protection will shrink in years to come. And the company has $4.7 billion in cash.

If you invest in the big, dividend-paying companies, you won’t double your money overnight — but you’ll probably have the last laugh.

‘Train Your Dragon 2’ may burn brighter than the first Thanks to original’s lasting popularity, sequel has big fan base ready to line up Bryan Alexander @bryalexand USA TODAY

CANNES , FRANCE How To Train Your Dragon was a hit in 2010.

But its sequel seems poised to soar to even greater heights.

After a glamorous red carpet world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, How To Train Your Dragon 2 is looking to bust out of the gates when it opens June 13.

Eric Wold, a senior media analyst for the B. Riley & Co. investment firm, is feeling very bullish that Dragon 2 “should generate significantly greater revenues than the first.”

A big factor is that children, and adults, have come to love the original through the release, DVDs and word-of-mouth. Two Academy Award nominations in 2011 (including best animated film) didn’t hurt. Now that the sequel is coming out, there’s more positive name recognition for the

once-unknown brand.

Further, a popular Cartoon Network show, Dragons: Riders of Berk, began airing in fall 2012, further endearing the franchise to viewers. “This has driven up new interest and buzz,” says Wold.

Another factor: The glut of animated releases has slowed this summer, giving Dragon 2 a nineweek window to own the animated market unopposed.

“This will drive up additional pent-up demand from children and families looking for something to watch,” says Wold.

The filmmakers are excited about a new story that takes place around teen character Hiccup and his Night Fury dragon, Toothless, both of whom have grown up five screen years since their last adventure. There are new characters, including Eret, son of Eret (voiced by Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington) and Valka (Cate Blanchett) who is Hiccup’s long-lost mother.

Director Dean DeBlois says he

“I told her that I had written the part for her in How To Train Your Dragon 2. And she smiled, saying that the (original) movie was “a big hit in her household with her three boys,” says DeBlois. “I told her about the character, and I could see it blossoming in her mind.”

Djimon Hounsou, who plays villain Drago Bludvist, says it’s

also all about the dragons, both returning and new fierce creatures. “The dragons are an amazing draw. And they are the main characters in this film,” he says.

DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg says he believes the film will live up to the original’s good name — and then some.

“The first one is beloved, but I am confident we have a movie that is a very worthy next chapter,” says Katzenberg.

Walters on Hillary, Oprah tribute: ‘I’m so moved’ Big names show up for fond farewell to ‘View’ pioneer Olivia Barker USA TODAY

Of course Barbara Walters, on her last official day on television, would draw the most powerful women in broadcasting to her set to celebrate her retirement.

But she also drew two of the most powerful women in the world: Hillary Rodham Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, who surprised the TV pioneer on her last day co-hosting The View.

The typically unflappable Walters, 84, looked genuinely stunned, even teary. Friday marked the end of her five-decade career on television, including her 17 years on The View, which she co-created. While she’ll continue to serve as an executive producer of the talk show, her on-air duties are finished.

“I can’t believe this day has come, and I can’t believe it’s for real. I don’t know what we’re all going to do,” said Clinton, the first guest on Friday’s show.

IDA MAE ASTUTE, ABC

A slew of female journalists join Barbara Walters as she says goodbye to daily TV with her final appearance on The View.

The former secretary of State had some advice for Walters, who came to ABC in 1976 after beginning her career on NBC’s Today in 1962. “First of all, take some time off,” Clinton said. “At least a week.” (Still, there was interviewing to be done. The question, you can guess. The answer: “I am running — around the park,” Clinton revealed.)

And for Winfrey, it turns out

Walters had a profound influence on the talk titan.

“You have literally meant the world to me,” Winfrey said.

“When I auditioned for my first television job, I didn’t know what to do, so I pretended to be Barbara.” That lasted until “I mispronounced Canada and called it ‘Can-AH-da,’ which Barbara would never do.”

Winfrey continued, “I want to

thank you for being a pioneer and everything that word means.”

Walters’ reaction to the tribute? “I’m so moved.”

Then out walked a literal receiving line of broadcasting giants, from Katie Couric to Connie Chung, whom Walters seemed to embrace just a little longer.

Standing among the crowd, Walters said, “This is my legacy.”

Nonetheless, despite the extraordinary hour, there were the standard books to shill (Clinton’s Hard Choices) and gossip to suss out (guest Michael Douglas, who separated from wife Catherine Zeta-Jones in August, said they are now doing “good”).

Walters, of course, had the last word, a meaty five minutes or so of airtime: “How do you say goodbye to something like 50 years in television?”

With jokes: “The good news is I will have time now to get Botox.

But now that I’m no longer going to be on the air, I don’t need Botox.”

With feeling: “From the bottom of my heart to all of you, I can say, thank you, thank you.”

And, finally, with a bit of poetry: “When all of that is done, I can take a deep breath and enjoy my view.”

FLYING HIGH Poudre’s Carly Paul wins high jump state title for third consecutive year.

By Kelly Lyell | KellyLyell@coloradoan.com LAKEWOOD — The state meet brings out the best in Carly Paul.

The Poudre High School senior won the Class 5A state championship in the high jump for the third year in a row Friday, overcoming an early miss and fatigued legs from running a preliminary race in the 300 hurdles between jumps.

“She did exactly what she needed to do, right when she needed to do it,” Poudre jumps coach Alex Square said.

Paul was one of three jumpers to clear 5 feet, 8 inches — matching her season-best.

She won by having the fewest misses leading up to that height after all three failed to get over 5-9.

At that point, Paul was pretty certain she had won, even as Rampart’s Ashlyn Hare was celebrating with her coach, believing she had just won the state title. A review of the results

by Colorado High School Activities Association officials confirmed it.

Paul, who got over 5-7 and 5-8 on her second attempts, was the winner, with Fountain-Fort Carson’s Rajon O’Quinn — who needed three tries to clear 5-7 and two to get over 5-8 — second and Hare, who needed three tries to clear 5-8, third.

“I just came in today hoping to do my very best, and I think that’s what happened,” said Paul, Poudre’s first three-time track and field state champion. “... It really came down to the very last jump. It STATE TRACK was a good way to win AND FIELD it.”

K-12 and senior citizens City athletes won five » Information: individual titles and www.chsaa.org one relay championship Thursday.

Heritage Christian’s Rebekah Rairdon, winner of a state title in the girls 1A 3,200-meter run Thursday, finished second Friday in the girls Class 1A 800 meters. Heritage Christian teams finished second in both the girls and boys 1A 3,200 relay, while Resurrection Christian was second and Liberty Common third in the boys 2A 800 relay. Fort Collins’ girls were third in the 5A 800 medley relay, while the Liberty Common girls were third in the 2A 800 relay.

Nobody could match what Paul did. Three consecutive state titles in the same event after finishing second her freshman year.

“I would say the first time that she won was more of a physical feat,” Square said. “The last two were all mental.”

It’s all about focus, said Paul, who will run track in college at Brown University. She gives her full attention to whatever event she’s competing in at the time. She finished second in her preliminary heats of both hurdles races, posting the third-fastest qualifying time for Saturday’s final in the 100 hurdles Thursday and the fourth-fastest prelim time for Saturday’s final in the 300 hurdles Friday.

She also ran the anchor leg Friday on a Poudre 1,600 relay team that just missed advancing to the final, turning in the 10th-fastest qualifying time. The top nine teams move on.

Instead of getting in the way of her highjumping, competing in other events helps alleviate the pressure that comes with being a two-time state champion trying to win a third title.

“This year, I felt less pressure, because I took a new outlook on it,” Paul said. “I decided, ‘You know what? I’m going to make the most of my senior year. I’m going to do my best, and I perform best when I’m having fun.”

Rocky gets 2 wins to open state tourney

the Rocky Mountain High School baseball team fought through two tough games that would have been worthy of state title games.

In the first game of the Class 5A state tournament, the Lobos beat Regis Jesuit 2-1 with the game-winning run coming in the sixth inning.

Then, in the second game, Rocky Mountain took down defending champion ThunderRidge 5-4 in nine innings after trailing in the sixth.

Let’s start at the finish.

With the game tied at 4 in the top of the ninth inning, ThunderRidge (15-8) had two runners reach base, but a failed sacrifice and a lineout double play allowed reliever Cory Richer to escape unharmed.

Leading off the bottom of the ninth, Nathan Elsheimer singled and advanced to second on an error by the left fielder. Zach Hahn bunted and reached first on an error. Cole Anderson was intentionally walked to load the bases with no outs. Dean Lawson stepped to the plate, took a pitch off the shoulder, and Rocky Mountain (18-5) walked off 5-4 winners against the team that beat them in the state title game last year.

“I knew he liked to come with the curve, and I was sitting on that,” said Lawson, who was hit twice against ThunderRidge.

“I’m so excited. I’m going to take it on the bus. It feels great.”

It was the second win in less than two weeks against ThunderRidge after the Lobos beat the Grizzlies in the final game of the regular season.

This one was set up by a close game over Regis.

In the bottom of the sixth of Rocky Mountain’s opening game against Regis, the Lobos had two outs when Kyle Reisman reached base on an error with the game tied at 1. Kadin Breeze came in as a courtesy runner and advanced to third on a single from Trevor Thomas. Catcher Garrett Hammer singled to right field, pumping his fist running down the baseline, as Breeze scored the go-ahead run.

Tyler Stevens finished off Regis (18-4) with a complete game win, striking out eight and allowing just three hits and one run.

De La Rosa carried a no-hitter through six innings and pitched seven scoreless innings, as the Colorado Rockies withstood a late rally to beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Friday night.

De La Rosa’s bid for the first no-hitter by a Rockies pitcher at Coors Field ended in the seventh inning, when Chris Denorfia led off with a triple off the scoreboard in right field, just the second time a Padres batter had gotten the ball out of the infield to that point.

But De La Rosa stranded Denorfia by retiring the next three batters, getting Everth Cabrera on an infield grounder, Chase Headley on a liner to second and Carlos Quentin on a pop-up to blank the Padres on one hit through seven innings.

De La Rosa, who was pitching on eight days’ rest because of a bout of back spasms, struck out five and walked one in winning his fifth straight since an 0-3 start.

Adam Ottavino and Boone Logan kept the Padres in check through the eighth and LaTroy Hawkins got his 10th save in as many chances despite giving up three hits in the ninth, including an RBI single by Headley.

The only no-hitter at Coors Field was on Sept. 17, 1996, by Hideo Nomo in a 9-0 Los An-

Padres starter Eric Stults was matching De La Rosa until Drew Stubbs doubled down the third base line with one out in the fourth inning for the game’s first hit.

The Rockies went on top in the bottom of the fifth, taking advantage of a fielding error by second baseman Jedd Gyorko to score an unearned run. D.J LeMahieu’s two-out double advanced Jordan Pacheco, aboard on a fielder’s choice, to third.

NFL

Bibbs puts his disappointment aside

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD

—

Kapri Bibbs was bypassed in the NFL draft despite leading the nation with 31 touchdown runs in his single season at Colorado State. Yet, he insists he’s glad he turned pro.

“I expected to get drafted, but at the end of the day, I can only be happy that I’m here,” the 5-foot-11, 203-pound running back said after the first workout of the Denver Broncos’ rookie minicamp Friday.

“I remember when I prayed to God and asked him to just to give me an opportunity, I didn’t ask him to get drafted, I just asked him to give me an opportunity and that’s what he did.”

Therefore, Bibbs said, he doesn’t consider coming out of school after his sophomore season a mistake.

Bibbs said there were plenty of other teams lining up for his services after the draft concluded last weekend, including the Buccaneers, Falcons, Bears and Ravens.

He said he decided to stay in Colorado because he and Denver running backs coach Eric Studesville hit it off at

the NFL combine and he wanted to play in an up-tempo system engineered by Peyton Manning.

“I just feel like this is the right spot,” Bibbs said.

Besides, the Broncos didn’t draft a running back after letting free agent Knowshon Moreno go, so “I’ll get as many reps as any new guy will get,” Bibbs said., “I’m looking for opportunity.

I’m not coming in and trying to make the practice squad.”

Bibbs hopes to crack a rotation that features projected starter Montee Ball and his fellow second-year back C.J. Anderson — who made the roster as an undrafted free agent last year — and Ronnie Hillman.

He’ll face some strong competition, particularly from undrafted free agent Juwan Thompson, a 225pound back from Duke and one of four other running backs who were sharing snaps Friday.

None have Bibbs’ resume, however.

In his only season in Fort Collins, Bibbs ran for a school-record 1,741 yards and 31TDs on 281carries for a 6.2yard average.

Bibbs, however, had just six 100-yard games and he only caught eight passes and

never more than one in a game.

Then, there was the small sample size.

He attended Snow College in 2011 and Front Range Community College in 2012 before going to CSU in 2013, where he joined his new teammate Ball and Barry Sanders as the only players in NCAA history to run for more than 30 TDs in a season.

Yet, he never heard his name called in the three-day, seven-round draft.

“Hey, at the end of the day, I’m just happy that I’m here,” Bibbs said. “The draft, that’s all fine and dandy but I’m ready to make a name for myself.”

He did that in college with The Denver Broncos’ Kapri Bibbs his play on the field, but Rams runs a drill during rookie camp coach Jim McElwain has a on Friday in Englewood. policy that forbids first-year JACK DEMPSEY/AP players from speaking with the media, so Bibbs never got to know Bibbs at a dinner the to talk about his accomplish- team had for the rookies ments even though he was Thursday night, and “he’s an one of the primary reasons impressive young man.”

State Track and Field Championships NOTEBOOK

SCOREBOARD

A day after Heritage Christian Academy’s Rebekah Rairdon slipped past the defending state champion to win the girls Class1A 3,200-meter run at the state track and field championships, the Heritage Christian boys came out on the other end of a photo finish in an eight-lap race.

John Lee was wrapping up an impressive anchor leg for the Eagles in the 3,200 relay and stretching for the finish line for what would have been a state championship. But just inches away from the finish, Idalia’s Erick Enriquez nudged in front of him for the win.

Idalia finished in 8 minutes, 57.27 seconds, while Heritage Christian’s time was 8:57.38, and third place South Baca’s was 8:57.66. Lee had edged in front of South Baca coming out of the final turn.

position in the double-elimination tournament. They advance to play Mountain Vista (20-3) at 3 p.m. Saturday at All City Stadium in Denver. Mountain Vista beat Chaparral 4-0 and Chatfield 7-1 on Friday.

“You look at the season Regis has had, then you look at the state champions. We knew today was going to be a tough day,” coach Scott Bullock said.

“You go get two (wins) today and put yourself in a good position. Now we’ve got to go take advantage.”

After winning one-run games against two teams many considered favorites to win a state title, confidence is riding high.

“It was huge the way we did it,” Lawson said.

“We fought through a lot of adversity. I think right now there’s nothing we can’t overcome.”

In the relays, Regis qualified No. 1 for the finals in the 200-yard medley and the 400 freestyle relay. Fairview is tops in the 200-yard freestyle.

Fort Collins’ James Piotrowski had the fifth-fastest time in the 50-yard freestyle in 21.11 seconds, advancing him to the finals.

Walter Dauksher of Fossil Ridge made the finals in the 200-yard freestyle, placing eighth in prelims.

Wyoming and New Mexico follow Colorado State in the men’s team race with 52

COLLEGE NOTEBOOK

Fresno St. football at UNLV shifts to a Friday for TV

LAS VEGAS — The Mountain

West Conference says it’s moving Fresno State’s football game at UNLV to Oct. 10 for a Friday night matchup to be televised nationally by CBS Sports Network.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Sam Boyd Stadium. The game originally had been scheduled for Oct. 11.

An updated list of games involving Mountain West teams that the league released on Wednesday also shows either ESPN or ESPN2 plans to carry Washington State’s Friday night game at Nevada on Sept. 5.

Minnesota: Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill is starting a fund to help children with epilepsy.

Kill and his wife, Rebecca, donated $100,000 to start the “Chasing Dreams” fund through

the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota. The Kills have an initial goal of raising $500,000.

The Star Tribune (http:// strib.mn/1jzLpBv) reports the money will help fund seizuresmart school initiatives, along with Camp Oz, a camp for epilepsy patients in Hudson, Wisconsin.

Jerry Kill says his goal to educate every school in Minnesota on how to handle seizures in school.

Kill was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2005 and has missed parts of four games in three seasons at Minnesota because of seizures. Last October, Kill took a two-week leave after a seizure kept him from joining the Gophers for a game at Michigan.

Florida State: A sheriff’s office has released surveillance video that shows Heisman Trophy

winner Jameis Winston leaving a supermarket without paying for crab legs and crawfish.

The video released Thursday by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office shows the Florida State quarterback picking up the seafood at a Tallahassee Publix on April 29. He then casually left the store behind a uniformed sheriff’s deputy who was working off-duty as a security guard.

Store managers reported him and deputies went to his apartment. He told them he forgot to pay.

He was issued a civil citation requiring him to perform 20 hours of community service, which he has completed. He was briefly suspended from the Florida State baseball team. He is a relief pitcher. Winston also issued a public apology.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Top seeds move on to the finals

By Cliff Brunt

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — After a wild start to the NBA playoffs — dramatic Game 7s, overtime games — the league’s postseason has returned to normal.

The top seeds in the East and West have advanced to the conference finals.

The two-time defending champion Miami Heat have been the most dominant team in the postseason, losing just once. Meanwhile, top-seeded and wildly unpredictable Indiana has staggered into the East finals rematch with the Heat, although the Pacers did

win five road games to advance.

It took San Antonio seven games to eliminate Dallas in the first round, but then the top-seeded Spurs rolled past Portland in five to advance to the West finals.

Oklahoma City rallied from a 3-2 deficit against Memphis, then fought through a dramatic six-game series against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The East finals begin Sunday with Indiana hosting Miami; the West tips off Monday night when OKC travels to San Antonio.

The Pacers have made no secret they were looking for-

ward to rematch with Miami after pushing the Heat to seven games before losing on the road in last year’s East final.

Oklahoma City beat San Antonio 4-2 in the 2012 West final, and many felt they might have beaten the aging Spurs last year if the teams had met, but Russell Westbrook was injured and the Thunder were eliminated.

The Thunder know it will be challenge, but are confident after sweeping San Antonio this year in their fourgame regular-season series.

The Heat, led by four-time MVP LeBron James, are looking for their third straight title.

After a record back nine, Casey was near the top of a crowded leaderboard. He was in a group of eight players at 6-under 134, two strokes behind leader Brendon Todd.

Casey was over par Friday before matching the PGA Tour record for the best score

on a back nine, an 8-under 27 with six birdies and an eagle.

That was part of his 7-under 63 that was the low round of the day, though he could never remember such a good nine.

“On par-3 courses, I think,” Casey said. “I like to think I would be good at shooting low

rounds of golf through the past, but certainly nothing like that.”

When Casey made the turn, he was coming off a threeputt at No. 9, his third bogey of the day. The 36-year-old Englishman, whose only PGA Tour victory was five years ago, was then 2 over for the tournament, even after making a 9-foot eagle putt on the par-5 seventh hole.

“I think it’s easier when your back is up against the wall, like I was today” Casey said. “I was backed into a corner and had to do something.

A little shift in, let’s say, attitude, and a little shift in goals.”

Also at 6 under were Martin Kaymer only five days after he won The Players Championship, and 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir (66). The others were Graham DeLaet and Morgan Hoffmann, who had had bogey-free 66s, and Tim Herron (66), Charles Howell III (66) and Marc Leishman (68).

Kaymer had his second consecutive 67, and has been in the 60s for all six of his rounds at TPC Four Seasons.

The German won at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday.

“If you had a good week, obviously you can take a lot into the next week. You play a little bit more free, a little bit more relaxed,” Kaymer said.

“It’s a new week, and I want to do as good as possible here.”

For the second time in five years, Todd is back on the PGA Tour after getting his card back through the Web.com Tour. He ended his round with back-to-back birdies to wrap up a round of 64 in which he needed only 22 putts. That included the 6-footer at the par-3 17th after his tee shot rolled just past the hole.

“It’s nice to put two underpar rounds together before the cut. That’s been a challenge for me this year,” Todd

Brendon Todd hits off the 17th tee during the second round of the Byron Nelson Championship on Friday in Irving, Texas. TONY GUTIERREZ/AP

said. “I was patient today.”

Todd, who started with six consecutive pars before four birdies in a five-hole stretch, first got to 7 under with a 12foot birdie at the par-3 13th hole, but gave that stroke back at the par-4 15th when he hit his first two shots into the rough and had his only bogey.

Peter Hanson was leading after a first-round 65, but was eight strokes worse Friday and dropped back to a tie for 25th at 2 under.

David Duval, only a stroke off the lead after an opening 66 that included birdies on four of his last five holes, shot a 76 Friday and missed the cut by a stroke at 2-over 142. The former No. 1 player, now 890th in the world15 years later, had six bogeys over his last 11 holes and had only one birdie during his second round.

Weir hasn’t had a top-25 finish since 2010, when the 44year-old Canadian left-hander suffered a partial ligament tear in his right elbow.

“The work I’ve been doing over the years is to get back into this position, and now I’ve got to see if I can handle it and get momentum going and play well on the weekend,”

Weir said. “It’s been difficult to play and not be in contention.”

Casey made a 6½-foot birdie putt at No. 10. His drive at the short par-4 11th was short of the greenside bunker, and from an awkward stance hit his approach over the pin onto the fringe before making a 24foot birdie. He also had birdies at Nos. 13-15, a 32-foot putt for an eagle-3 at the 16th, and closed with another birdie.

The overall nine-hole scoring record is Corey Pavin’s 8under 26 on the front nine in the first round of the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee in 2006. Seven others have had 27s on nine holes, the last Nick Watney in the third round of the 2011 AT&T National.

Scottie Scheffler, a17-yearold amateur from Dallas, shot a 68 with six birdies and four bogeys to make the cut at 1under 139.

Jordan Spieth, now 20 and the eighth-ranked player in the world, made the Nelson cut at ages 16 and 17 when he too was a top-ranked junior player from Dallas playing on a sponsor exemption. Spieth was 3 under after a 67 Friday.

TWEET OF THE DAY

EARNHARDT BY USA TODAY SPORTS

@DaleJr ENJOYED MEETING CHUCK TODAY. VERY NICE GUY. NOT A TURRIBLE DRIVER EITHER. NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., after spending time on the track with TNT analyst Charles Barkley.

The former NBA All-Star said he wanted to meet Earnhardt.

ALMOST LAST WORD “WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO DO NOW IS GET FROM GOOD TO GREAT.” Penguins President and CEO David Morehouse, after the firing of general manager Ray Shero.

The letter from Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s attorney to the NBA claiming no wrongdoing on Sterling’s behalf is a persuasive indication he plans to fight the league in court, sports law expert Warren K. Zola says.

“It was to put the NBA on notice that they’re preparing to go to battle,” said Zola, an adjunct professor of business law at Boston College’s Carroll School of Management. “It’s clear that the attorney and, I assume, Donald Sterling do not feel any punishment is warranted. Clearly, that’s a precursor to litigation.”

USA TODAY Sports reported Thursday that Sterling’s lawyer, Maxwell M. Blecher, told the NBA his client would not pay the $2.5 million fine and does not warrant “any punishment at all.”

He also said the matter would need to be adjudicated.

The letter addresses only the fine, for which Sterling missed the payment deadline, and the lifetime ban, not the league’s push to terminate Sterling’s ownership.

“I don’t see any scenario in which he and his attorney have an ability to overturn either the ban or the league fine,” Zola said.

“Quite frankly, even if he doesn’t pay the fine, it can be withheld from television payments, as would interest from that fine.”

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the fine and ban April 29, when he said he would urge NBA owners to force a sale of the Clippers. Silver’s stance came after a recording of Sterling making racist comments was made public; the first-year commissioner received widespread praise around the NBA, including backing from all 29 other owners.

Using the NBA’s constitution and bylaws, the league has a clear and unassailable case against Sterling, according to Zola. The

Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling last month.

Donald Sterling missed the deadline to pay a $2.5 million fine, perhaps angling for a say in the sale of the Clippers.

NBA has homed in on Article 13(d), which states an owner may be terminated if the owner should “fail to or refuse to fulfill its contractual obligations to the Association, its Members, Players, or any third party in such a way as to affect the Association or its Members adversely.”

Sterling also signed moral and ethical contracts as part of being an owner, and the league thinks he violated contractual obligations in the audio recording.

“The courts have a really hard time and will have a hard time overturning the internal constitution and bylaws within a pri-

vate association unless those actions are arbitrary and capricious, and that doesn’t it appear that is the case,” Zola said.

University of Toledo law professor Geoffrey Rapp said Sterling and his attorneys also could be setting groundwork to allow Sterling to have a say in the potential sale of his team.

“I still think most of the public statements by both Sterlings (Donald and wife Shelly) represent an attempt to stake out a position to have more control over the terms and price of the sale of the team,” Rapp said in an e-mail.

“I’ll believe they want to sue only

when they file a complaint.”

Sterling likely would want the highest price for his team, which could sell for more than $1 billion.

“What will be interesting is what will happen if and when bids are submitted to the league,” Zola said. “The league and its owners have clear authority to determine and approve a potential buyer. What happens if they decide to pass over a higher bid for an owner that they value?”

There is such a precedent in professional sports: The Boston Red Sox were sold in 2002 to a group that wasn’t the top bidder.

First-rate fourth lines:

Both teams get good mileage out of their fourth lines. The Rangers’ Brian Boyle, Dominic Moore, Daniel Carcillo and Derek Dorsett have contributed one way or another. Boyle is the team’s top hitter and one of its better shotblockers. Montreal gets plenty from Dale Weise and Brandon Prust. Daniel Briere also has been on the Canadiens’ fourth line and is among the most productive playoff performers in NHL history, with 115 points in 118 games.

He had a goal and an assist in eight minutes of play in Game 7.

more goalie-dependent than the Canadiens. Lundqvist must be as sharp as he was in the final three games vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins, when he stopped 102 of 105 shots and seemed to make good chances vanish. But don’t sell Price short; no NHL goalie faces more pressure than a Canadiens one, and he has been as wall-like as Montreal has needed.

Rangers winger has no goals and five assists in 14 playoff games.

The Rangers need to get Nash rolling to keep up with the Canadiens, who are averaging almost one goal per game more in the postseason. Nash seems to have lost his way in the offensive zone.

The amazing aspect of Nash’s slump is that he leads the NHL with 52 shots in the postseason.

Carey Price has allowed 2.15 goals a game for the playoffs.

Price met in the Olympic gold medal game in Sochi, and Price’s Team Canada won. But Lundqvist also has won gold — with Sweden in 2006. When Price faced the Rangers this season he stopped 74 of 75 shots; Lundqvist stopped 25 of 27 in one game. Lundqvist has better numbers this postseason, owning a 1.99 goals-against average and .931 save percentage.

Price is at 2.15 and .926. Both teams would be content if this series evolved into a goaltending duel. EDGE: Rangers Defensemen: The Rangers’ Big Three are Ryan McDonagh, Dan Girardi and Marc Staal, but Anton Stralman is underrated.

Those four match up well against any level of competition. Although New York’s Alain Vigneault is known as an offensive coach, this group can bunker up around the net almost as well as they did when John Tortorella was coach. Subban, Andrei Markov, Alexei Emelin and Josh Gorges are Montreal’s top four defensemen. Subban and Markov are averaging 26 minutes a game;

Gorges and Emelin are both averaging better than 22. These teams are the best two shot-blocking teams left in the tournament.

Subban and Markov give the Canadiens the advantage in offense from defense. EDGE: Even Forwards: One postseason story line has been the Rangers’ need to get more from their top six forwards. They’ve been rolling four lines, and the third line of Benoit Pouliot, Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello has been performing like their first line.

Chris Kreider’s return from injury has given the offense a boost.

But they need more from Nash, Martin St. Louis, Derek Stepan and Brad Richards if they want to reach the Stanley Cup Final. The Canadiens hope Max Pacioretty, with two goals in his past two games, is heating up at the right time. The trade for Thomas Vanek made Montreal’s offense more dangerous, but Brendan Gallagher and Lars Eller — each with nine points in 11 games — have been more consistent. Tomas Plekanec plays more than any of those players because he is so valuable. EDGE: Canadiens Injuries: Montreal, C-W Alex Galchenyuk is expected to return this series. Rangers, none Prediction: If Price is right, look for Montreal to get back to the Stanley Cup Final for the first since 1993. Montreal in six games.

HORSE RACING

TOMMY GILLIGAN, USA TODAY SPORTS

California Chrome trainer Art Sherman, speaking with exercise rider William Delgado, aboard the horse, says two weeks isn’t much time to get a horse prepared.

TURNAROUND A PREAKNESS KEY California Chrome handlers hope Derby champ can be in top form Gary Mihoces

@ByGaryMihoces USA TODAY Sports BALTIMORE The Preakness Stakes will be run in about two minutes.

There is another important time frame: two weeks.

California Chrome is the heavy favorite at 3-5. He’s on a five-race winning streak, including the Kentucky Derby. But he has had about a month off between each victory.

Between the Derby and the Preakness, he’ll have had two weeks. The Preakness will measure whether he can recharge, regroup and run down the stretch as he has in previous wins — and continue his bid for the first Triple Crown in 36 years.

“It always bothers me coming back in two weeks, like I think most trainers. It takes a horse a good 10 days to really bounce out of a race good,” says Art Sherman, 77-year-old trainer for the California-bred favorite.

Social Inclusion, the No. 2 choice on the betting line, hasn’t run since he placed third in the Wood Memorial on April 5. He has raced three times this year.

“He was a big horse. Now he’s bigger and stronger,” says Manny Azpurua, 85-year-old trainer of Social Inclusion..

Beyond a throat irritation revealed this week by California Chrome’s trainers and dismissed by them as of no consequence, Sherman says he has liked what he has seen of his horse.

He says he’s been holding his weight and eating well. Just as he did the week before the Derby, Sherman has put California Chrome through no timed works this week, just gallops.

“So I’m sure not changing anything. Let’s go for it,” says Sherman.

But there will be changes compared with the Derby. The Preakness field is 10 horses compared with 19 in the Derby. The pace figures to be faster than the Derby.

In the Derby, California Chrome won in a time of 2:03.66,

NASCAR

slowest on a fast track for a Derby winner since Cannonade in 1974.

California Chrome took the lead down the stretch and ran away from the field. Jockey Victor Espinoza eased up on him near the finish, trimming his victory margin to 13⁄4lengths.

Candidates to push the pace early today include Social Inclusion, Bayern, General a Rod, Dynamic Impact and Ring Weekend.

“There is a lot of speed in there,” says Dynamic Impact trainer Mark Casse. “Of course, a lot of times you think that way and it does not materialize, but I think that will happen. I hope he is able to sit right behind the speed.”

That figures to be the preferred route for California Chrome, too: get out of the starting gate cleanly, hang near the front-runners and take over down the stretch.

California Chrome will start from the No. 3 post. Social Inclusion will be in the No. 8 post and Ride On Curlin in No. 10.

“There’s a lot of speed on the outside,” Sherman says.

“Victor will know what to do with him going into this first turn. And after we go around the first turn and see where we’re at, he’ll have a target. I’m almost

sure of a runner (a horse charging to the early lead).”

Then we’ll see what California

“It takes a horse a good 10 days to really bounce out of a race good.”

California Chrome trainer Art Sherman

Chrome has in the tank.

“Well, it’s always easier when you’ve got less horses. It’s less traffic,” Sherman says. “If he comes away from the gate in good shape, and there’s three speed horses in here, he likes that target to run at. So I really think that with good racing luck he should be in a position where he’ll be in the clear.”

A year ago, Derby champ Orb opened as an even money favorite on the morning line. By race time, he was 3-5. He finished fourth in a Preakness won by Oxbow, a 30-1 long shot after running sixth in in the Derby.

Should California Chrome get a Preakness win, he’ll have three weeks to prepare for the final test

of the Triple Crown, the 11⁄2-mile Belmont Stakes in New York.

Since Affirmed won the last Triple Crown in 1978, a dozen horses have won the Derby and Preakness and then lost in the Belmont.

Beyond California Chrome, two horses from this year’s Derby are in the Preakness: Ride On Curlin (seventh in the Derby) and General a Rod (11th).

Among those resting up this weekend for the Belmont is Commanding Curve, runner-up behind California Chrome in this year’s Derby.

That’s part of the Triple Crown test: five weeks, three races.

“Well, the challenge is there,” Sherman says. “I’m not one to run back in two weeks … I know it’s a tradition, but it’s harder on the horses, to me. … I can see where they have a lot of fresh shooters. They miss the Derby, and they come for you at the Preakness.

“It’s going to be even worse when I get to the mile-and-a-half race at the Belmont. They’re going to have a lot of horses in the wings waiting for me there. So I’ve got to keep my horse happy and fresh and hope he’s in top shape.”

A rotating All-Star Race?

Drivers say they’re for it Earnhardt, Kenseth suggest how it could work Jeff Gluck

@jeff_gluck USA TODAY Sports CONCORD,

BOB JORDAN, AP

Dale Earnhardt Jr., at practice Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, likes the idea of having the All-Star Race elsewhere.

N. C. Tonight will mark the 30th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, and 29 of them have been held at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

But should the exhibition race stay at Charlotte?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Matt Kenseth both said they’d be open to moving the race when asked Friday during interview sessions.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to changing it up a little bit,” Earnhardt said. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take it to Bristol or some-

where like that and mix it up a little bit.”

Kenseth said he came up with an idea a couple of years ago that he thinks would work: Rotate the All-Star Race among different tracks each season, but hold it at venues where the Sprint Cup Series doesn’t already race.

“I think it should go to Iowa and Milwaukee and St. Louis and Pike’s Peak (Colorado) and maybe even Memphis,” Kenseth said.

“I think that would be great for all those markets that don’t have a NASCAR race. I think you’d sell them out, whether that’s 30,000 or 40,000 people.

“I think the race would be good. It’s not a points race. I think that would expose a lot of fans to our product live who don’t get to see it now.”

Cup rookie Kyle Larson also had a suggestion, which he offered via Twitter: Rockingham.

Earnhardt said he favored the

old three-segment format from the late 1980s — such as the one that created the circumstances for 1987’s Pass in the Grass, involving Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Bill Elliott.

The current format consists of four 20-lap segments followed by a 10-lap shootout; the drivers’ average finishes in each segment decide the order coming to pit road for a mandatory four-tire pit stop before the shootout.

As for the track itself? No venue can guarantee a great race, Earnhardt said.

“You could run it at Bristol 10 years in a row and some would be awesome and some wouldn’t — just the same way you’d have it here,” Earnhardt said. “We just have to hope everything works out in our favor and we get an exciting finish, however that happens.

“Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t.”

Using less water can open door to more natural beauty in landscape

Get primed on freshening up your home with paint Fresh paint on the wall is a fairly inexpensive way to give any home an instant facelift.

Paint can draw people into a room. It can make a space appear larger or cozier.

Experts say color is full of meaning and has the power to influence moods and set the tone of your home.

So how do you choose a color, and what should you know before you paint?

Today’s paint color selection is so vast we swear you could drown in a sea of paint chips. Too many choices often lead to decision paralysis. So how do you narrow it down and choose the color that’s right for you?

Start by looking at your room’s finishes and furnishings. Try matching a vein or fleck of color found in the tile or countertop. Do you have a favorite piece of artwork or upholstered chair? Use a color in the piece as your inspiration. Next, narrow your selections

A BACKYARD

RECONSIDERED

By Janice Benedict CSU Master Gardener

It started last August, with a water bill. We agreed quickly that improvement was needed; and being unwilling to cut down on showers and laundry, the conversation soon came around to “The Lawn.”

With no dogs or small children, a turfgrass backyard seemed a natural water user to eliminate: an easy decision to reach, but implementation proved to be a bit more complex.

Up came the turf, and it became, along with a load of topsoil, three berms of varying heights and eccentric shapes. The spaces between berms became pathways made of crushed gravel, with landscape fabric beneath in the hope of forestalling some of the weeds.

Well, perhaps the bindweed will be slowed down a bit. Optimism is a necessary ingredient in these mat-

ters. The berms were covered with a thick layer — about four inches — of shredded cedar mulch, and then the real fun began: what to plant?

As cooler weather approached, we settled on a load of mid-sized, decorative rock, which we arranged, and rearranged, and finally augmented with several low, spreading Scotch pines. Done, for the winter.

The cold months became study time. One of the berms, the one with the most direct sunlight, was to be truly “xeric,” that is, designed to survive without additional water, once established. Of the remaining two, both would be “low water,” needing occasional irrigation during extended dry periods.

One of these is partly shaded. With this general plan in mind, the search began.

Several books proved to be invaluable. “Dryland Gardening:

Plants That Survive and Thrive in Tough Conditions,” by Jennifer Bennett (Firefly Books, 2005) was helpful for general information and background. Specific plant recommendations were detailed enough to discuss cultivars appropriate to specific zones and circumstances.

Newer and more local is “Durable Plants for the Garden: A Plant Select Guide,” edited by James E. Henrich (Fulcrum Publishing, 2009). This is truly the go-to source for High Plains gardeners. Plant Select is the collaborative output of CSU, Denver Botanic Gardens, and Green Industries of Colorado.

The book was recently updated with a booklet describing their selections since 2009, and each spring a new flier announces the

latest choices. The booklet, “A Guide to Plants for Western Gardens and Beyond,” and the annual fliers, are available at garden centers, through your local Extension office or online at www.plantselect.org.

One other work deserves mention because of its local emphasis and inclusion of current (and therefore likely to be available at your favorite garden center) varieties and cultivars: “Waterwise Plants for Sustainable Gardens: 200 Drought-Tolerant Choices for All Climates,” by Lauren Springer Ogden and Scott Ogden (Timber Press, 2011).

Ideas can help create a resilient garden With so many conditions being unpredictable in today’s world, the concept of resiliency in the landscape and garden has been swirling around my mind. The biggest reality check comes with the weather and how it impacts everything else.

Three big questions come to mind. First, how do we anticipate or prepare for extremes of sunny and warm as it gives way to frost and frigid temperatues all within 24 or 48 hours?

Secondly, how do we respond to extremes of parched, cracked soil shifting to downpours and flooding, which erode once stable soils and plantings?

Finally, what do we do about our citizen scientistlike observations of fewer pollinators and natural allies in the garden, such as bees, birds and other benign wild creatures?

SPENCER BATH ORGANIC PRACTICES

Minerals can unlock the microbiology of gardening Gardening is too often limited by context, maybe as a relaxing hobby to grow tasty food for family and friends, or maybe even to sell produce at the local farmer’s market.

Gardening with the organic approach implies a search for greater awareness of the whole, in connecting with our cosmic nature, and a means by which we may attain minerals from the soil, converted by microbiology, absorbed and provided to us by plants. These minerals are keys to unlock epigenetic potential in our coded DNA, impacting our health, vitality and meta-consciousness.

It is established that minerals affect genetic expression, that among other important health-related functions in the body. We depend on microbiology, plants, and soil to proffer these minerals in a form usable by our bodies, so a highly mineralized soil is of the utmost importance. The organic approach asks us to shift our awareness in many ways, firstly, we escape the prison of NP-K to enter the prism of foundational minerals, as a single ray of sunlight exits a crystal as a kaleidoscopic rainbow.

Minerals are referred to as foundational; it is from the availability and ratio of these minerals in soil that fertility unfurls. A shortage of any one mineral causes a metabolic friction, the Liebigs’s Law of Minimum. A shortage impinges potential, first in one cell, but affecting entire ecosystems. Organisms must then adjust and compensate rather than effortlessly attain an accelerated toroidal flow, or vibration.

The most effective manner in which to remineralize soil is

to apply rock powders. We do this to replicate areas of the planet where Mother Nature demonstrates maximum fertility, typically near volcanoes where naturally high mineralization is endemic. With the Colorado plains last mineralized by the grinding, weathering movement of glaciers 10,000 years ago, our clay is long due for mineral supplementation. As we harvest, we must replace, a sobering and continual thread of the organic approach. This is bread from stones.

Rock powder sources abound. Granite, basalt, lime, zeolite and certain clays can all be used to further fertility in the soil, each with varying mineral content, physical properties, function and expression within soil dynamics.

I prefer the basalts, giving high paramagnetism and a wide array of mineral content.

Though minerals may not be used directly by plants, they are necessary for microbiology.

Bacteria and mycorrhizae feed on minerals within rock powders, a radically stimulated microbiome ensues. Rock

Continued from Page D1

powders are excellent for all methods of growing, whether container gardens, raised beds, small acreage, or established lawns and landscapes.

Application recommendations vary widely, but a starting point is usually 1 ton per acre, or 10-20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Basalt powders are insoluble, meaning they will not burn, even at rates over 10 tons per acre.

Gradation, or particle size, is an important factor in choosing a material. The smaller the particle, the more easily it is broken down by microbiology and the more readily available it is. A quality powder will contain particles from 100 to 200 microns, up to sand and rice sized particles where density will hold a higher paramagnetic charge.

Think of paramagnetism as a measure of a rock powders ability to transmit and hold subtle or spiritual energies, either from the sun and planets, or from your own positive intentions.

A delicate, colorful Plant Select® choice for 2014. » Japanese Blood Grass, Imperata cylindrical ‘Rubens’ or ‘Red Baron.’ » Blue Fescue, Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ or ‘Sea Urchin.’ Just 8inches tall – something for the foreground.

Shrubs » Chieftain Manzanita, Arctostaphylos x coloradensis. Evergreen, spreading, xeric. A 2013 Plant Select® choice, perfect for a south-facing slope. » Daphne, Daphne x burkwoodii ‘Carol Mackie,’ for the part-shade, low-water berm.

Learn the signs of cancer in pets

By Dr. Rodney Page

Special to the Coloradoan

Did you know that cancer is the leading cause of death among dogs more than 2 years old?

This is a startling statistic and might be unknown to people who haven’t confronted cancer in a pet. May is designated as Pet Cancer Awareness Month by the American Veterinary Medical Association, and it’s a good time to bone up on the risks and signs of cancer in pets — and to understand current treatment options.

The Colorado State University Flint Animal Cancer Center is the world’s largest center focused on veterinary oncology, with about 100 scientists and clinicians who handle about 6,000 appointments and 3,000 consultations annually. We also train veterinary students and conduct clinical trials to treat dogs with naturally occurring tumors, while also gaining critical insight in our quest for a cancer cure.

The mission of our Animal Cancer Center is to successfully treat pets with cancer — and to use the knowledge we attain to advance cancer treatment for people.

Tumors and their growth are remarkably similar between pets and people; that makes cancer treatment in dogs an ideal model for advancing cancer treatment for human patients.

Here are a couple things we know about cancer in dogs: About half of dogs older than 10 will develop cancer; in some breeds, the mortality rate is 50 percent or greater. By comparison, 41 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes, according to data from the National Cancer Institute.

The prevalence of pet cancers is distressing for those of us who consider our dogs as family members. Yet there’s also good news: About 50 percent of cancers in dogs are curable with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.

Another 25 percent of canine cancers are controllable, meaning treatment will help to extend life and improve quality of life.

In the final 25 percent of canine cancer patients, it is unreasonable to consider prolonging survival. In these cases, veterinarians have many tools to provide palliative care, meaning we seek to relieve pain and provide other supportive therapies so the patient is comfortable until the end of life.

As is the case in people,

there are different types of cancer in dogs.

Among U.S. men, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers are most common; in U.S. women, breast, lung and colorectal cancers develop most frequently, data from the National Cancer Institute show. In dogs, we most often see tumors of the lymph nodes; hemangiosarcomas, or tumors that develop in the blood vessels; and osteosarcomas, or bone cancers; and sarcomas in general.

Early detection and treatment are important for dogs, just as for people. So it’s helpful to know the top 10 warning signs of cancer in pets: » Abnormal swellings that persist or grow. As we like to suggest, pet your pet!

This is the best way to find lumps, bumps or swelling that could be anywhere on the body. » Sores that don’t heal.

Nonhealing sores can be a sign of infection or cancer.

Your veterinarian can determine the reason a sore is not healing. » Weight loss. Illness could be to blame if your pet is losing weight but is not on a diet. » Loss of appetite. It’s not normal for pets to lose their appetite; inappetence is another sign of possible illness. » Bleeding or discharge from any body opening.

Bleeding can occur for a number of reasons, most of which are abnormal. We consider unexplained vomiting and diarrhea as abnormal discharges, as well. » Offensive odor. This is a common sign, especially for tumors of the anus, mouth or nose. » Difficulty eating or swallowing. This is a common sign of cancers of the mouth or neck. » Hesitation to exercise or loss of stamina. This can be one of the first signs that your pet is not feeling well. » Persistent lameness.

There can be many causes of lameness, including nerve, muscle or bone cancer. » Difficulty breathing, urinating or defecating.

Schedule a veterinary evaluation if your pet displays any of these symptoms.

The CSU Flint Animal Cancer Center has a number of ongoing clinical trials. To learn about options, visit www.csuanimalcancercenter.org and navigate to “Clinical Trials.”

CSU plans forum on sheltering animals during disasters

By Coloradoan news services

Colorado State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital on Monday is co-sponsoring a free, all-day workshop for Front Range professionals who respond to pet needs during disasters.

The Animal Disaster Sheltering Exercise will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday at The Ranch Events Complex in Loveland.

It will be led by Diane Robinson, owner of Disaster Animal Shelter Education and former training manager of the American Humane Association’s Red Star Animal Emergency Services Response program.

The event, co-sponsored

by CSU Extension and The Ranch (Larimer County Fairgrounds), is designed for supervisor-level personnel in charge of selecting, setting up and managing animal shelters when disasters such as wildfires or floods strike.

The group of about 35 will include county extension agents, veterinarians, fairgrounds managers, Humane Society representatives and animal control officers.

Background material on best practices for animal disaster sheltering has been

provided through webinars produced by Robinson for Pet Aid Disaster Services.

Dr. Ragan Adams, coordinator of CSU Veterinary Extension and event organizer, said participants will share

their experiences and discuss set-up and layout ideas, dilemmas and standard protocols.

Dr. Tim Hackett, director of the James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital, said

the event is about “not waiting for the next disaster to do your planning. It’s important to get everybody in the same room when they’re not out fighting fires or saving animals from flood.”

other stones that are likely still in the bladder, once the obstruction has been relieved.

A urinary obstruction is probably the most serious, nontraumatic emergency a young, otherwise healthy cat could face. Depending on the owner’s level of suspicion that something is wrong, the cat may have gone many hours without being able to empty its bladder. This can lead to lifethreatening electrolyte abnormalities as well as kidney damage. Luckily, these are typically reversible if the obstruction is relieved and corrective treatment is instituted, usually in the form of fluid therapy. Cats that are allowed to urinate outside are, by definition, more discrete about their bathroom habits. Many people like this aspect of cat ownership, but not seeing what your cat leaves behind means you don’t see changes in the volume of urine produced, or blood, which frequently accompanies developing urinary blockages.

Cats with a blocked urethra have a distended and extremely uncomfortable abdomen. They are often vocal about the pain, especially while trying to urinate. They become withdrawn, stop eating, and may vomit if kidney damage has occurred.

Veterinarians differ on how to approach urinary blockages. Some relieve the pressure on the bladder immediately by passing a needle into the abdomen and emptying a sufficient quantity of urine to bring some immediate relief. Once this is done, some routine blood work can tell us the electrolyte status and kidney function of the patient, an intravenous catheter placed, and fluid therapy started.

My belief is that doing this first renders the patient more stable for the anesthesia which must accompany the actual unblocking, but some vets feel that passing a needle into an extremely swollen bladder can bring on rupture of said bladder.

Both approaches can be ar-

gued and defended.

Once the patient is under anesthesia, a urinary catheter specially-made for this purpose is passed up the urethra and into the bladder.

This is often easier said than done, since the obstruction is most commonly at the very narrow tip of the penis, the opening of which is only about 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter.

With a urinary catheter in place, the bladder can be repeatedly flushed with sterile saline. This removes the small particles of solids in the bladder that contributed to the blockage, and gives the cat a patent urethra. The catheter is usually left in place for 24 to 48 hours. Athome care typically involves feeding a diet that encourages more water consumption, so that the urine is more dilute and less prone to solid formation.

CHRISTIE LONG PET DOCTOR

Urinary blockages make cats miserable A “blocked Tom,” as they are referred to by those of us in the profession, is a cat, typically a male one, whose urethra, the tube designed to carry urine from the bladder out of the body, has become obstructed.

The cat is physically unable to urinate or can only pass very small quantities of urine at a time. The blockage usually is comprised of a plug of solid waste, such as mucous or crystals composed of minerals.

Sometimes the blockage is a bladder stone, which instantly complicates the situation, because most of these cats need surgery to remove

Be Kind & Leave Your Pet Behind

Every summer hundreds of pets die in overheated parked cars. You may think that leaving a pet in a car for a short time would be fine, but every minute that goes by, the interior temperature in your car climbs dramatically and becomes lethal to your pet! The table below explains the dramatic nature in how temperature climbs in a parked car.

Helpful Facts

! Pets cannot sweat like humans to lower their core body temperature, so when they are trapped in a hot car they easily succumb to heat stroke, suffer brain damage and are at risk for death. ! Even if the temperature feels cool and comfortable to us outside the car, the interior can easily reach 90 degrees or higher if the car is exposed to sun. ! Opening car windows not only increases your pets risk of escaping, but it does very little to decrease the interior temperature of the car as the heat inside is generated from the metal exterior of the car being heated by the sun.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

FRANK & EARNEST

GARFIELD

Friend not happy being second choice for prom Dear Abby: I was invited to my first prom yesterday.

The boy is a senior and the son of a friend of my mom’s.

We have a lot in common.

We have been friends for years. The problem is, he asked a friend of mine to go to the prom last week, and he did it right in front of me.

My friends keep telling me he really does like me, even though I was apparently his second choice. How do I keep myself from feeling like a consolation prize?

— Second Best Dear S.B.: The boy who asked you to the prom wants to have a good time. As you said, you are friendly and have a lot in common.

Please don’t let the fact that he asked your friend first get in your way. It’s not a contest for anyone’s affection; it’s only a dance.

Dear Abby: I met an amazing lady. She’s beautiful, sexy, charming, attentive, classy, smart and conservative. In short, she is almost everything a man would ask for in a woman except for one thing — she’s a tad clingy, and in some instances, it is annoying.

I’m the type of guy who loves my space.

She seems to respect it but gets a little down when I decline an offer to spend time. To avoid hurting or offending her, I sometimes just do whatever will make her happy, although it feels like a chore.

The more I feel I’m forcing myself to spend time with her, the more I lose interest.

Am I just not ready to settle down?

— Likes My Space Dear Likes: That’s what it sounds like to me. And that’s what you should tell the lady, because someone with all the wonderful qualities you attribute to her won’t be alone and heartbroken for long.

Dear Abby: In June of last year I fractured my kneecap. I was employed at the time and asked my daughter to fill in for me while I recuperated. Not only did she walk away from the job, she has yet to visit or even call me to see how I am doing. It hurts me to this day. How can I get past this hurt and disappointment?

— Still Hurting In Palm Desert Dear Still Hurting: I can’t imagine anyone being so cold and distant — not to mention irresponsible — unless there were unresolved issues between the two of you or your daughter has emotional problems.

How do you get past something as painful as this? The first option would be to try to understand what has caused your daughter to act the way she has. Another would be to fill your days with enough activities that you don’t have time to dwell on it.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT

New mom torn over job opportunity and staying with baby Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: I need help tackling a big decision. I’m a first-time mom currently staying at home. We moved for my spouse’s job before the baby came and now I’m unemployed for the first time in my adult life. My skill set is very specific; there are no local job opportunities.

I have a possible job opportunity that is well matched skill-wise but requires a lengthy daily commute and semi-frequent out-of-town travel. My spouse works a rotating day-night shift, making child care a challenge. I currently look after the majority of child care, meals, household chores, bills, etc.

Some days I love being home with my child, and other days I feel like getting back into the workforce is the thing to do. Our family is in a different part of the country and we don’t have much of a support network here.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with postpartum anxiety but am starting to feel back to myself thanks to medication. I don’t know how to start to figure out which choice is best for me, my child, my spouse, our family. Can you give me some questions to think about that might help point me toward making a choice and feeling confident it’s a good fit?

— To Work or Not The big decision here is whether to be a full-time, at-home mom or to seek some kind of employment. The decision about this particular job is not big; it’s just an incremental decision in the course of the bigger decision.

So, start by asking yourself whether you want to work outside the house, and, more aptly, why you’ve come to consider it now. Is the opportunity driving the conversation?

Your unease at being “unemployed”? A sense that being an at-home mom doesn’t suit you?

Also discuss with your husband where your preference tips — i.e., what amount of stress on your home life would overwhelm any benefits you get from working.

If you decide a job makes sense for you and your family, then you weigh this job on its merits alone. It sounds as if you have two solid reasons to say no to the current offer (commute, travel) and one solid one to say yes (uncommon skill match). So, all you need to do for this decision is figure out which trumps what.

If you decide you want a job but not this one, then you move on to the next big question: What kind of work do you want, can you get and will best accommodate your priorities? Is a career change a viable option? Retraining?

fly bush is a semi-woody 6 foot shrub that is irresistible to all butterflies. The fragrance of their flowers reminds me of cotton candy.

It’s no wonder butterflies swarm to this plant. In early spring, cut the entire plant down to about 3 inches.

Deadheading will prolong the blooming cycle. Tall Gayfeather, Liatris scariosa, is a tall spiky flower with rose-lavender flowers. They are fall bloomers making them an ideal nectar source for migrating butterflies.

At the Gardens on Spring Creek we have noticed hummingbirds staying around far longer than in the past.

For more than a month, hummers could be found feeding on our flowers. One of our best wildflowers for attracting humming birds are our Penstemons.

Penstemon barbatus “Praire Fire” has large tubular red flowers.

Their regal appearance makes them a show stopper in the garden. An interesting fact about penstemons is that they have 5 stamens, four of them fertile, the fifth is sterile. The sterile stamen is often beaded, which gives rise to the common name of beardtonge. One of my alltime favorite flowers is the Sunset Hyssop, Agastache rupestris. Their sunset orange, tubular flowers, bloom August through frost. As an added bonus, the whole plant exudes rich root beer aroma.

We all must be aware that pollinators are at risk due to sometimes careless use of pesticides. When applying insecticides check first and see if pollinators are active in the garden. Also check and see if the pesticide is toxic to bees.

We can make a difference in the life of the pollinators and it all starts in our own back yards.

Pollinators are key to life here on planet Earth.

Although we often think of honey bees are our primary pollinator, there are more than 1,000 other bee types that contribute. Most of these bees are solitary, making their homes in the soil.

Bees should be encouraged into the garden.

Both annual and perennial salivas are favorites. Saliva “Victoria Blue” is an excellent annual plant that bees love. Salvia “Snow Hill” is a stunning, perennial white variety especially suited for smaller gardens.

Catmint can be somewhat aggressive; however, there are several smaller varieties that, from my experience, appear well behaved. Give Nepeta “Little Tich” a try.

Unlike the taller varieties, this one doesn’t flop over.

Prune plant back for a second flush of flowers. Every garden needs to have English Lavender. Not only do bees love them, their leaves secrete one of our most cherished essential oils.

The child in all of us can’t resist seeing a butterfl. Several plants are a must for attracting these beautiful creatures. As their names suggest, both butterfly weed and butterfly bush are on the top of their list.

Butterfly weed, Asclepius tuberosa, is a native wildflower found growing in dry, lean soils. Its bright orange, tubular flowers not only provide pollen for butterflies, it is also a host plant for the Monarch butterfly. Butter-

protecting those plants.

Hail and vegetable gardens are simply not compatible, so it’s wise to set up a structure to protect your plants. Short of being a high tunnel or greenhouse, ideally, it should let light, moisture, pollinators and beneficial insects in. Some crops will merit more attention than others based on their value and ability to rebound.

This year, my tomatoes and peppers may have some sort of a floating ceiling. A few years ago, I used netting to help deflect hail and although it prevented birds from easily grazing on insects, it provided some sense of security.

When the temperature soars and the wind sucked moisture away, I occasional-

ly see dried, tight soils give way to cracks in my raised beds as they do tend to dry out more quickly than inground ones. This situation is easily remedied by breaking up the hardpan surface and wetting the ground before topping it with 3-4 inches of compost and leaf mulch.

Healthy soil contributes to vigorous, more resilient plants that can either withstand adverse conditions or rebound more quickly.

Installing rain gardens and directing runoff from downspouts to its best advantage will utilize natural moisture when we do get some.

To address a possibility of less pollinators or storm damage in the garden, planting a diversity of pollinator-

Before you decide on your final color and invest money in several gallons of paint, purchase small samples of two or three paint choices and brush them on sample boards.

Leave these in the intended room and view them throughout the day to see how light affects each color. The paint chip you may love under the florescent lights of the store will almost always look different at home.

There is a difference between highway and off-road travel

By TOM & RAY MAGLIOZZI KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Tom and Ray: Greetings from Doha, Qatar. Six months ago, I bought a used 2006 Hummer H3 (now with 115,000 miles), which my wife uses five days a week to take our son to school.

Traffic in Doha is notoriously bad (and a bit dangerous), so these daily school runs are pretty stressful. But we may have a safety valve.

We can trim the commute (and avoid a lot of traffic) by taking a three-mile off-road stretch. This isn’t boulder-strewn terrain, it’s just mildly rocky dirt. I encourage my wife to take the H3 on this stretch at every opportunity -- but she’s concerned that 60 off-road miles every week (to and from school twice a day, five days a week) is too much for the car and it will “fall apart” prematurely. We’re only going to be in Doha for another 18 months, and she wants the vehicle to last at least that long. I say it’s a Hummer -- and that this kind of driving is a Hummer’s existential purpose. I don’t see the car falling apart for several years to come. What do you guys say? Can she take our H3 off-road on every school run? -- Mike TOM: I think the real problem is AUTOS

“whoosh” of air escaping when you unscrew your gas cap.

TOM: The system has a self-test mode. It’s possible that all you’re hearing is the pump pressurizing the system to test it. It may have just been a coincidence that you’ve been near the truck every time that happened.

RAY: But I’m guessing that the pump is coming on more often than it should. That’s probably because your system isn’t holding pressure.

TOM: You could have a slow pressure leak somewhere. It could be from your gas cap, a bad valve, a rusted fuel-filler neck or a dozen other places. But something’s allowing the pressure inside the fuel system to drop, and that’s kicking on the pump.

RAY: Or, the pressure sensor is faulty, and is turning on the pump when it doesn’t need to be on.

TOM: Either way, if we’re correct, the Check Engine light will come on soon -- if it’s not on already, Grover. That’ll be your cue to do, what? Check the engine!

RAY: Yeah. Have a mechanic scan the truck and see what trouble codes the computer has stored. That will give him some clues as to where to start looking. Good luck. *** Auto repairs can be costly!

that has something that “runs” on occasion when it is sitting in the garage. We have not started the truck in nearly two months, and my wife heard it run just yesterday. What is causing this, and how do I stop it?

Does this truck have a random battery discharger, or is it just lonely because we have not run it lately? We have had it since new, and it is in nearly new condition due to the fact that the price of gas is so high. Most of its life has been spent in the garage -- except when some family member moves, or during deer season. It sounds like something is running -- like a pump, maybe? Can you tell me what’s running and if there’s anything we should do about it? Thank you. -Grover TOM: First, stop hanging around your parked truck so much, Grover.

People are going to think you’re some kind of weirdo.

RAY: This truck, like all vehicles these days, has an evaporative emissions control system to keep gasoline vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. I think what you’re hearing is the system’s pump.

TOM: To contain the vapors and prevent air pollution, your fuel system is kept under constant pressure, so the vapors are pushed into a charcoal canister, where they’re trapped and held. Then, when the engine starts, they’re released into the cylinders to be combusted. It’s a good system.

RAY: That fuel system pressure is the reason you sometimes hear a little

if stuff is still working, the truck sounds and feels like it’s falling apart because it rattles and clanks down the road, even on pavement.

RAY: In truth, it’s impossible for us to know if something major will break in the next 18 months, whether you take that shortcut or not. The car has a lot of miles on it. And who knows if it would have happened anyway? All we know for certain is that the chance of having to replace suspension components goes up when you move from paved roads to rocky dirt roads.

TOM: If it were me, I’d take my chances. The H3 is based on Chevrolet’s small pickup truck, the Colorado. So while it’s not super heavyduty (or unbearable to drive) like a real Hummer, it’s based on a truck chassis, and should be able to take a reasonable amount of punishment.

RAY: And based on what you say, the shortcut would save your wife time and stress, and might even be safer, since it’s less heavily trafficked.

TOM: I agree, as long as your wife has good cellphone service that works out there. If she ever were to break down, or just get a flat tire, you’d want her to be able to easily and reliably call for help. And make sure she has a broomstick or something in the car, so she can fend off an angry band of camels if necessary.

Good luck, Mike.

ride quality in the Hummer, Mike.

She’s bouncing off the seat on that dirt road, banging her head against the dome light. If you had spent a little more and bought her a Cadillac Escalade, you wouldn’t be hearing these complaints.

RAY: You’re actually both right about the H3, though. Sometimes when you see a used-car ad, the seller will say something like “150,000 mostly highway miles.” Why does he say that?

TOM: So he can unload his rattletrap of a car. Mike probably will say the same thing when he sells this Hummer.

RAY: Sure. But it’s well known that smooth highway miles take less of a toll on the car than bumpy, pothole-encrusted city miles.

TOM: When you bounce the car up and down off the road continually (which is what you’re doing on a rocky dirt road), you cause certain parts to wear out more quickly -notably, the front suspension components.

RAY: Things like the tires, the struts, the springs, the ball joints, the tie rods, the stabilizer links, the steering rack and all the bushings and couplings down there get pounded when you drive that way. Those parts will wear out sooner than they would have otherwise. Even on a Hummer.

TOM: All that shaking and bouncing also causes other stuff in the truck to “loosen up.” This ultimately results in what we call “rattletrap syndrome,” where even
