For Ed Parks, the day he was invited to the prestigious Operalia singing competition in London is more memorable than the day he pocketed a $10,000 prize in the contest. Parks, the Indiana-raised opera singer, with the Metropolitan Opera of New York and Carnegie Hall on his credit list, took third place in the international competition held last weekend in London.
A renowned baritone, Parks was the top American in the 23rd annual Operalia, a program founded by Plácido Domingo. Two tenors, Ioan Hotea, of Romania, and Darren Pene Pati, of New Zealand, placed first and second in the men’s division, making Parks, in the eyes of many, the best baritone. In. The. World. Parks would be the first to put some perspective on that thinking. “It’s the best in the world under (age) 32. And there’s a
lot that goes into it,” Parks said. “And there are a lot of singers that probably couldn’t even audition because of having summer programs or summer festival work. “But of the singers that I heard — and I didn’t hear everybody through all the rounds — these are very high-quality singers.” Domingo started the program in 1993 as a vehicle for launching careers and bringing recognition to the world’s most promising young opera singers.
Hundreds apply for the chance each year: men and women, from bass to soprano, from 18 to 32 years of age. This year, according to organizers, more than 1,000 singers put in entries. Parks, 31, was one of the most eager candidates. It was his final year of eligibility and his chance to overcome last year’s disappointment. “I applied last year but I didn’t make it past the first video submissions,” he said. “The videos weren’t very good, just not up to date or Continued on Page 12

Survivor describes scene of movie theater shooting By REBECCA SANTANA and CAIN BURDEAU Associated Press
LAFAYETTE, La. — Emily Mann and her friend had come into the theater a bit late for the evening showing of “Trainwreck” so they quietly found seats near the top of the small theater. The 21-year-old didn’t notice the man just a few seats down until 20 minutes into the movie when he got up and began firing into the crowd. “You hear one loud shot and you’re sure that’s not what it is because it would never be that. And then you hear another and another and another and you realize that those aren’t just lights and sounds,” said Mann, speaking to The Associated Press about the brutal killing in a Lafayette movie theater Thursday evening.

Clinton emails said to have classified data By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and MATT APUZZO New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON — Government investigators said Friday that they had discovered classified information on the private email account that Hillary Rodham Clinton used while secretary of state, stating unequivocally that those secrets never should have been stored outside of secure government computer systems. Clinton has said for months that she kept no classified information on the private server that she set up in her house so she would not have to carry both a personal phone and a work phone. Her campaign said Friday that any government secrets found on the server
had been classified after the fact. But the inspectors general of the State Department and the nation’s intelligence agencies said the information they found was classified when it was sent and remains so now. Information is considered classified if its disclosure would likely harm national security, and such information can be sent or stored only on computer networks with special safeguards. “This classified information never should have been transmitted via an unclassified personal system,” Steve A. Linick, the State Department inspector general, said in a statement signed by him and I. Charles McCullough III, the inspector general for the intelligence community.
HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Wolf acknowledged Friday that nonprofit social services providers may have to borrow money during the state budget stalemate, but he said they should share his broader goal of doing the right thing for Pennsylvania. Spending on social services is not a major point of contention between the Democratic governor and the Republican-controlled Legislature in their three-week-old stalemate. However, billions of dollars that would otherwise flow to counties and nonprofit groups that provide a range of social services, including child protective services and addiction and mental health counseling, are expected to be held up in a wider dispute over Wolf’s priorities. Wolf said he understands the concern over social services agencies having to foot the bill to borrow money while they wait for the state to reimburse them. “Apparently, if they are forced to borrow money, the cost is not reimbursable in many cases by the state, so that is something that would not be good,” he said in an interview on KQV-AM radio in Pittsburgh. Wolf said he is doing everything he can to find ways to protect social services agencies from being harmed by a longer impasse, although he did not specify what, if anything, his administration is doing or could do. “I want to make sure that the disruption is as little as possible, so I’ll continue to work on that,” Wolf said. “But ... in the long run, all of us, including the social services agencies, have a vested interest in making sure we do the right thing for Pennsylvania and that’s what I’m focused on.” Negotiations between Wolf and Republican lawmakers were at a standstill Friday. County and social service agency officials say a continuing impasse is sure to impact their services, in particular by creating service delays and longer waiting lists. “These are people who are in crisis who are not getting services,” said Samantha Balbier, executive director of the Greater Continued on Page 12

Autopsy set on woman, 29, who collapsed in Keystone Lake DERRY (AP) — An autopsy was set on the body of a 29-year-old woman who collapsed in shallow water at Keystone State Park. The Westmoreland County coroner’s office said Friday’s autopsy is just one piece of the puzzle into determining how and why Megan Zubalik, of Greensburg, died. Toxicology and other tests needed to complete the investigation will take weeks. Witnesses told park rangers that Zubalik
was wading in shin-deep water at the park when she fell face-down into Keystone Lake on Thursday. Park ranger Adam Misterka told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that coroner’s officials advised him the cause of death was “definitely not drowning.” Zubalik was taken to Excela Health Latrobe Hospital where she died in the emergency room shortly after 3 p.m.

Riders livid after power problems By DAVID PORTER Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — Power problems caused delays for Amtrak trains running between Washington, D.C., and Boston and for commuter lines into New York City on Friday, leaving thousands of riders livid and transit officials apologizing for the fourth such problem in a week. Friday’s rail power issue added to a summer that has seen delays of a half hour or more for New Jersey Transit riders about once every three working days, according to a review of the agency’s messages to commuters. Amtrak was restricted to operating three trains at a time through the Hudson River Tunnel into New York City on Friday morning, spokesman Craig Schultz said in an email. The head of New Jersey Transit again apologized to commuters for the delays into Manhattan. Executive Director Ronnie Hakim said NJ Transit is “taking all steps necessary to hold Amtrak accountable.� Amtrak, which owns most of the tracks and equipment on the Northeast corridor between Washington and Boston, has said it needs money to repair and replace infrastructure dating to the 1930s associated with the 105-year-old rail tunnel into New York. The cables responsible for the power problems are about 80 years old, Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman said. More than 2,000 trains operated by Amtrak or commuter rail lines run each day on the Northeast corridor. Speaking at New York’s Penn Station on Friday afternoon, Boardman said the problems this week were in power cables stretching between three and four miles under the Hudson River into New Jersey. The problems hadn’t all occurred in the same area, he said. Last year, Boardman said damage from superstorm Sandy in 2012 would force Amtrak to shut down one of the tunnel’s tubes for repairs within less than 20 years. On Friday he said it wasn’t clear whether damage from Sandy had caused this week’s outages. “The problem is here, it’s this station and its tunnels that are at capacity and they’ve been at capacity,� he
said. “We only have 55 hours a week from Friday night to Monday morning to work in the tunnels. It isn’t just these cables that need to be repaired. It’s the track, it’s the ballast, it’s the signals, it’s the catenary, it’s all the things that need to be done. So we have to juggle on a constant basis what we take down in order to get the work done.� Funding for Amtrak has long been a contentious issue in Congress. In May the House Appropriations Committee voted to cut Amtrak’s budget for next year to $1.1 billion, a $251 million reduction, and voted down a Democratic effort to boost federal funds for the railroad by more than $1 billion. In an emailed statement Friday, Gov. Chris Christie — who killed a project to build a new rail tunnel under Hudson River in 2010 over cost concerns — said he asked the state attorney general’s office to see what steps can be taken to ensure the money paid by NJ Transit to Amtrak is used properly. NJ Transit pays about $100 million per year to Amtrak to use the rail lines.
HARRISBURG — A federal judge threw out provisions in Pennsylvania law on Friday that he said make it unconstitutionally difficult for independent or minor political party candidates to get onto ballots because of the threat of costly court challenges. The decision was cheered by ballot-access advocates who regard Pennsylvania as harboring the nation’s toughest barriers to candidates who are not Republicans or Democrats. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Stengel in Philadelphia targets the financial penalties that judges can impose on candidates who lose a court challenge to the validity of the signatures of registered voters on their nomination petitions. Because signature requirements for independent or minor party candidates are greater than those for Democrats and Republicans,
so are the lawyers’ fees and work necessary to validate each voter’s signature if their petitions are challenged ahead of an election. “That’s caused real damage to the democratic process in Pennsylvania,� said Oliver Hall, a lawyer at the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Competitive Democracy. He represented plaintiffs that include the Constitution, Libertarian and Green parties of Pennsylvania. In theory, the threat of paying lawyers’ fees and other costs racked up by the challengers is designed to dissuade the submission of fraudulent nomination petitions. But it also dissuades legitimate candidates, Stengel wrote, and the burden of the fines falls unequally heavy on minor party or independent candidates. Ballot-access advocates say Republicans and Democrats have successfully transformed the provision into a cudgel that has scared off independent or minor-
party candidates from running. With the exception of a couple statewide elections in the past decade, Pennsylvania voters have had to pick only between Republicans and Democrats in statewide elections, Hall said. Fines of $81,000 were ordered against 2004 independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader and about $80,000 against Carl Romanelli, a Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate in 2006. “This opinion is really an indictment of the Pennsylvania political process for getting on the ballot,� said Chester County election lawyer Paul Rossi. Lawyers on Friday disagreed over whether Stengel’s decision also struck down Pennsylvania’s higher signature requirement for independent minor party candidates. Stengel did not respond to a request for comment, and the Wolf administration declined comment on the case or whether
City wants to avoid ‘Charlie Brown’ Christmas READING (AP) — Christmas in July might be a marketing gimmick, yet a Christmas tree debate in July is serious business in one eastern Pennsylvania city. Reading city officials and civic groups are already discussing what might be done to avoid last year’s “Charlie Brown� Christmas tree controversy, the Reading Eagle reported Friday. The tree, a 50-foot Norway spruce from last Christmas, became a focal point because it was relatively spindly and misshapen. But the criticism became a rallying point when Reading decided to treat the tree like the scrawny one featured in the animated special “A Charlie Brown Christmas.� The

it would appeal. Larry Otter, a Bucks County lawyer who handles ballot-access cases, said he did not expect an appeal after the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia last year overturned Stengel’s earlier decision to throw out the lawsuit for lack of standing. It sent it back to him for a decision. Stengel’s ruling was significant because legal fees can escalate quickly, Otter said. “It can go to $100,000 without breathing hard,� Otter said. Pennsylvania is the only state that hears ballot challenges in the courts. Richard Winger, a ballot access activist who publishes Ballot Access News, said no other state charges people who lose challenges to their nomination petitions. Winger, Otter and Rossi did not think Stengel’s decision struck down the signature requirement for minor party or independent candidates. Hall said he believed it did.

1.4M vehicles recalled due to hacking By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer
DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler has decided to recall about 1.4 million cars and trucks in the U.S. just days after two hackers revealed that they took control of a Jeep Cherokee SUV over the Internet. The company also disclosed in government documents that the hackers got into the Jeep through an electronic opening in the radio and said it would update software to close it. On Thursday, Fiat Chrysler sealed off a loophole in its internal cellular telephone network with vehicles to prevent similar attacks, the automaker said in a statement. The vulnerability exposed by the hack rippled through the auto industry and drew the attention of government safety regulators, who on Friday opened an investigation into the Jeep incident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it would find out which other automakers use the same radios. It came as the industry is rapidly adding Internet-connected features such as Wi-Fi and navigation that are convenient for drivers but make the car more vulnerable to outside attacks. “I think it’s a pretty big deal,” said James Carder, chief information security
officer for LogRhythm Inc., a Boulder, Colo., security company. “This isn’t intellectual property going out the door, this is 1.4 million lives on the line.” Automakers, he said, have become accustomed to testing mechanical safety, but most aren’t doing enough online security testing. Carder said he wouldn’t be surprised to see a few more recalls as automakers check vehicle security. He noted that Internet-accessible cars have only been around for a few years, limiting the number of cars and trucks that could be affected. Shortly after the hack was disclosed in a Wired magazine article this week, Fiat Chrysler said it would contact owners of 471,000 vehicles and offer software updates to fix the problem. But documents show that the wider recall came at the urging of government safety regulators. Fiat Chrysler, which faces penalties from NHTSA for recall delays over several years, said in documents that it agreed to the recall even though there were no problems in the field other than the Jeep attack, and it had no complaints or warranty claims. The company also implied in its statement that the hackers broke the law by manipulating a vehicle remotely without authorization. The fix came after two

The following defendants have been named in criminal charges filed before Magisterial District Judge George Thachik, Clymer. Criminal complaints and affidavits of probable cause are not evidence of guilt in a criminal case. Defendants are entitled to legal representation and have the right to question the witnesses and evidence presented against them during preliminary hearings in the district court and at trials in the county court of common pleas. Named were: • Jessie J. Lydic, 33, of Clymer, charged July 6 by state police with misdemeanor counts of theft by unlawful
taking, theft by deception and receiving stolen property on May 22 at 1872 Pickering Run Road in Grant Township. Police said Lydic took two large aluminum wheels belonging to Terry Goss and sold them to Iron Horse Salvage Yard. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 25 • Jeffrey S. Walls, 44, and Gary S. Walls, 47, both of Marion Center, were charged July 6 by state police with a misdemeanor count and simple assault and a summary count of harassment on July 6 at 9:30 a.m. at 3398 Dixonville Road in Marion Center.

FDA wants sugar percentage listed on product labels Associated Press

chief, wouldn’t comment specifically on the Jeep incident, but said Friday that GM is learning about security measures from the U.S. military and aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing. “Cyber security is one of the most important things we spend time on these days,” he told reporters on Friday. Miller said he and Valasek first told Fiat Chrysler about their research in October and have been in touch with the company several times since then. Owners of the recalled vehicles will get a USB drive that they can use to update the software. Fiat Chrysler says it provides added security beyond the cellular network fixes. Customers can go to http://www.driveuconnect. com/software-update/ and punch in their vehicle identification number to find out if they’re included in the recall. Carder, the security expert, said the odds that an average person’s vehicle would be hacked are slim, but the news will make people more paranoid. He owns the same model Jeep that was hacked, and says he’ll get the software fix done quickly. “I’m sure my wife would appreciate it,” he said. AP Business Writer Bree Fowler in New York contributed to this report.

well-known hackers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, remotely took control of the Cherokee through its UConnect entertainment system. They were able to change the vehicle’s speed and control the brakes, radio, windshield wipers, transmission and other features. Miller said Friday that he didn’t think Fiat Chrysler’s statement about criminal activity was directed at them because they hacked into a vehicle they own. “I don’t think they are saying anything bad against us in that statement, just reminding people that if someone were to hack their car, it’d be against the law,” he said. The recall affects vehicles with 8.4-inch touchscreens including 2013 to 2015 Ram pickups and chassis cabs and Dodge Viper sports cars. Also covered are 2014 and 2015 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee SUVs, as well as the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 300, and the Dodge Charger and Challenger. NHTSA encouraged people to get the repairs done as soon as possible and said the recall is the right step to protect customers. “It sets an important precedent for how NHTSA and the industry will respond to cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” the agency said in a statement. Mark Reuss, General Motors’ product development
item — the “percent daily value.” Adding a new line for added sugars, or those that don’t occur naturally, is part of an overhaul of the nutrition facts label proposed last year by the Obama administration. While the labels include percent daily values for other nutrients, the proposal didn’t include one for added sugars. Since then, a government
advisory committee recommended that people get no more than 10 percent of calories daily from added sugars. The FDA proposal would be based on that number, meaning that added sugars should be no more than 200 calories, or about 50 grams, in a recommended daily diet of 2,000 calories. So if a food label says something has 50 grams of added sugars, the percent
daily value for added sugars would be listed as 100 percent. “For the past decade, consumers have been advised to reduce their intake of added sugars, and the proposed percent daily value for added sugars on the Nutrition Facts label is intended to help consumers follow that advice,” said Susan Mayne, director of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
Gary Walls got into a physical altercation. Gary Walls told police that he put his brother in a bear hug until he calmed down, but that Jeffrey Walls picked up a screwdriver and threatened to kill him. Jeffrey Walls claimed that he could not breathe while in the bear hug and police said Jeffery Wall suffered a laceration to his elbow. Both have preliminary hearings scheduled for Aug. 18. • Colton M. Stennett, 20, of Jeannette, charged July 2 by state police with a felony charge of escape on July 2 at 500 Innovation Drive in Blairsville. Police said Stennett was committed to Adelphoi Village and was not present
when staff there attempted to pick him up from classes at WyoTech. There is currently a warrant for Stennett’s arrest. • Gregory A. Wieserman, 36, and Laura M. Wieserman, 25, both of Penn Run, were charged July 2 by the Indiana County District Attorney’s office with misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals, killing a domestic animal and disorderly conduct on Dec. 14 at 1829 Sportsman Road in Cherryhill Township. Detectives said Gregory Wieserman shot a Labrador and Laura Wieserman shot a basset hound, both dogs belonging to Harold and Tamera Rosbaugh. Both have preliminary hearings scheduled for Sept. 1.

NASA: Pluto’s atmosphere collapsing By KENNETH CHANG New York Times News Service
Pluto’s thin air may be falling to the ground. The total mass of the atmosphere on Pluto appears to have fallen by half in just two years, scientists working on NASA’s New Horizons mission reported during a news conference Friday. “That’s pretty astonishing, at least to an atmospheric scientist,” said Michael Summers, a professor of planetary science and astronomy at George Mason University in Virginia and a member of the New Horizons science team. “That’s telling you something is happening.” Pluto reached its closest approach to the sun in 1989, and the expectation had been that as it moved farther away along its elliptical orbit, temperatures would drop and its atmosphere, mostly nitrogen, would begin to freeze and eventually disappear. That was a driving motivation for the rush to send New Horizons to Pluto. “We wanted to get there while there was still an atmosphere to study,” said S. Alan Stern, the principal investigator. Astronomers on Earth have been able to get glimpses of Pluto’s atmosphere where Pluto passes in front of a star, watching whether the light of the distant star blinks out suddenly when blocked by Pluto or fades gradually because of the light bouncing off molecules in the atmosphere. Confounding expectations, Pluto’s atmosphere has actually thickened over the last 26 years, and many planetary scientists changed their minds. Maybe the atmosphere would persist throughout Pluto’s 248-year orbit, they speculated. Now the story appears to change again. New Horizons obtained a snapshot of the structure of the atmosphere by looking at distortions in
radio signals sent from Earth passing through Pluto’s atmosphere. What the new measurement “seems to have detected is a potential for the first stages of that collapse just as New Horizons arrived,” Stern said. “It would be an amazing coincidence, but there are some on our team who would say, ‘I told you so.’” Even if the atmosphere is collapsing, though, the view from the night side of Pluto is at present spectacularly hazy. A photograph showing a silhouette of Pluto surrounded by a ring of sunlight “almost brought tears” to the atmospheric scientists, Summers said, showing sunlight scattered by small particles of haze up to 100 miles above the surface. “This is our first peek at weather in Pluto’s atmosphere,” he said. Computer models had suggested that the haze would float within 20 miles of the surface, where temperatures are about minus 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Instead, the haze particles formed higher, 30 to 50 miles up, where temperatures are around minus 270.
“We’re having to start from scratch to understand what we thought we knew about the atmosphere,” Summers said. The haze likely plays a central role in producing Pluto’s reddish hue. When warmed, methane ice on the surface turns to gas, entering the atmosphere. The methane molecules, bombarded by ultraviolet light from the sun, are transformed by chemical reactions in the haze particles, made of a class of dark reddish substances known as tholins. The tholin particles grow in size until they fall to the ground. “We think that is how Pluto’s surface got its reddish hue,” Summers said. The scientists also released more close-up images of a smooth region about the size of Texas that the scientists have informally named Sputnik Planum. William B. McKinnon, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and a member of the New Horizons team, showed places where sheets of ice appear to be flowing, much like gla-

for help” and found the 13year-old bleeding from multiple stab wounds, the affidavit said. The young girl was still alive and made statements to the officers that “her brothers” were responsible for the attack, it said. Fresh footprints in the backyard led officers to a wooded area, where they found the brothers. A neighbor of the family, Matt Jacobsen, on Friday described the 16-year-old as a follower, not a leader, and “nerdy,” given his interest in computers and technology. Others in the subdivision noted the family seemed isolated to the point that they appeared to avoid community events. David Bever’s sister, Tamela Massey, of Seminole, Fla., said her family is dealing with grief following the death of her brother and members of his family and that they do not know what may have triggered the tragedy. “We have no idea,” she said.

ciers on Earth, as they run into more rugged terrain. At Pluto temperatures, water ice is much too stiff and brittle to flow. Indeed, in adjoining regions are soaring mountains of frozen water, one range as tall as the Rockies, another shorter, about as tall as the Appalachians. But frozen nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide have also been detected on Pluto’s surface. “These ices are geologically soft and malleable, even at Pluto conditions, and they will flow in the same way glaciers do on Earth,” McKinnon said. Below the ice could even be an ocean of liquid water, McKinnon said. New Horizons zipped past Pluto a week and a half ago, collecting a cornucopia of photographs and data about Pluto and its five moons. But because of the spacecraft’s small antenna and the humongous 3-billion-mile distance, the data will keep trickling back to Earth over the next 16 months. After this initial burst of photographs, the pace of Pluto news will slow.
David Bever’s former coworkers in the IT department at Samson Resources described him as a quiet man who kept to himself. “He was a nice guy, but we weren’t close,” said Lisa Wolfe, Bever’s supervisor at Samson. “I hired him.

He didn’t get involved in any office politics, and those are the kind of people I like to work with. “He liked to do his work and focus on that. He didn’t socialize a lot with the folks he worked with,” Wolfe said.

Obama pragmatic on deal with Iran ight now, it’s beginning to look as if President Obama will end up deserving the Nobel Peace Prize he was so prematurely awarded in 2009. Perhaps you recall how, during the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Obama’s opponents treated his expressed willingness to speak with the leaders of unfriendly countries such as Cuba and Iran as a sign of immaturity. “Irresponsible and frankly naive,” was how Hillary Clinton put it. Joe Biden said it was important for an inexperienced president not to get played by crafty foreigners. Obama was unrepentant. “The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of (the Bush) administration,” he said “is ridiculous.” And so it was. Only ridiculous people talk that way now. With hindsight, it’s become clear that Obama wasn’t simply repudiating the GOP’s melodramatic “Axis of Evil” worldview, but expressing his own considerable self-regard. Obama’s approach also expresses his confidence in America as he sees it, through his unique personal history as a kind of inside-outsider — capable of being more than ordinarily objective about our place in the world. When you’re the most powerful economic and military power on earth, he keeps saying with regard to the Iran deal, it’s important to act like it: strong, calm, and confident. Able to take risks for peace because your strength is so overwhelming.

THAT’S THE same reason Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (and his U.S. congressional allies) need to cool it with the Chicken Little rhetoric. Obama thinks it’s “highly unlikely that you are going to see Iran launch a direct attack, state to state, against any of our allies in the region. They know that that would give us the rationale to go in full-bore, and as I said, we could knock out most of their military capacity pretty quickly.” Of course Netanyahu knows that perfectly well. But here’s the kind of thinking he and his allies on the evangelical right really object to: “Even with your adversaries,” Obama said, “I do think that you have to have the capacity to put yourself occasionally in their shoes, and if you look at Iranian history, the fact is that we had some involvement with overthrowing a democratically elected regime in Iran. We have had in the past supported Saddam Hussein when we know he used chemical weapons in the war between Iran and Iraq, and so ... they have their own ... narrative.” Demonizing Iran serves Netanyahu’s short-term political purposes. Ditto Republican presidential candidates. But Obama had a wider audience and a longer view in mind. GOP war-talk makes it easier for Democrats to support him anyway. Therefore, much of what he said was directed over the heads of his domestic audience. “Iran will be and should be a regional power,” he told Friedman. “They are a big country and a sophisticated country in the region. They don’t need to invite the hostility and the opposition of their neighbors by their behavior. It’s not necessary for them to be great to denigrate Israel or threaten Israel or engage in Holocaust denial or anti-Semitic activity. Now that’s what I would say to the Iranian people.” He also focused upon the common enemy: “Nobody has an interest in seeing (the Islamic State) control huge swaths of territory between Damascus and Baghdad,” Obama said. “That’s not good for Iran.” Indeed not. More than the Turks, more than Saudi Arabia, more than anybody but the Kurds, Iranian forces are fighting ISIS on several fronts. THE PRESIDENT’S words were grudgingly noted in Tehran. In his own carefully crafted speech expressing guarded blessings for the arms control agreement, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei assured hard-liners that he hadn’t gone soft on America. However, he also alluded to Obama’s conciliatory remarks. “He mentioned two or three points, but did not confess to tens of others,” Khamenei complained. Which is how conversations begin. This deal isn’t the end. But it’s an excellent beginning — of what, it remains to be seen. Iran has essentially purchased anti-invasion insurance, while the U.S. and its allies have bought relative stability in the Persian Gulf. Could things go wrong? Things can always go wrong. But there’s always time to start a war. eugenelyons2@yahoo.com

who are often middle class. What we have, in sum, is a very complicated situation. If we do raise the minimum wage, a lot of people will clearly benefit and a lot of people will clearly be hurt. The most objective and broadest bits of evidence provoke ambivalence. One survey of economists by the University of Chicago found that 59 percent believed that a rise to $9 an hour would make it “noticeably harder” for poor people to find work. But a slight majority also thought the hike would be worthwhile for those in jobs. A study by the Congressional Budget Office found that a hike to $10.10 might lift 900,000 out of poverty but cost roughly 500,000 jobs. My own guess is the economists will never be able to give us a dispositive answer about who is hurt or helped. Economists have their biases and reality is too granular. It depends on what region a worker is in, whether a particular job can be easily done by a machine, what the mindset of his or her employer is. The best reasonable guess is that a gradual hike in high-cost cities like Seattle or New York will probably not produce massive dislocation. But raising the wage to $15 in rural New York will cause large disruptions and job losses. The key intellectual upshot is that, despite what some people want you to believe, the laws of economic gravity have not been suspended. You can’t impose costs on some without tradeoffs for others. You can’t intervene in the market without unintended consequences. And here’s a haunting fact that seems to make sense: Raising the minimum wage will produce winners among job holders from all backgrounds, but it will disproportionately punish those with the lowest skills, who are least likely to be able to justify higher employment costs.
Obama kneecaps Congress (again) f only President Barack Obama were as hardnosed and clever in undermining our adversaries as he is in kneecapping the U.S. Congress, the country’s strategic position might be transformed. The Iran deal went to the United Nations Security Council for approval Monday, months before Congress will vote on it, and got unanimous approval. The U.N. vote doesn’t bind Congress, but it boxes it in and minimizes it — with malice aforethought. Republicans and Democrats in Congress issued sharply worded statements about getting pre-empted by Turtle Bay, although the vast international machinery that has been set in motion won’t be deflected by a few sharp words from people under the misapprehension that they occupy a coequal branch of the American government. What are congressional hearings and the U.S. domestic political debate compared with the “international community”? Shortly after the U.N. vote, President Obama urged Congress to get with the program: “There is broad international consensus around this issue,” he said, adding that his “assumption is that Congress will pay at-

fools), and so did the Russians and the Europeans. Equally predictably, Kerry resorted to his solution to most every knotty negotiating problem — he caved. Amazingly enough, the agreement with Iran doesn’t mention the U.S. Congress or its review of the deal, but specifically cites the Iranian Parliament and its role in approving the so-called additional protocol of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. At least someone is willing to stick up for Iran’s (wholly fraudulent) legislative branch. It is President Obama’s curse that he doesn’t have a legislature as compliant as that of Iran’s supreme leader. The president clearly disdains Congress as a body that harbors several hundred Republicans and that can only complicate his grand legacy-defining initiatives. He didn’t want Congress to have a say at all over the Iran deal, but accepted the Corker bill that requires a near-impossible twothirds vote to block it. The administration’s message to opponents is that even that supermajority would be too little, too late. Submission is the only option. comments.lowry @nationalreview.com

Indictment against Perry tossed AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — One of two felony indictments against former Texas Gov. Rick Perry was tossed out Friday, giving the Republican presidential candidate a potentially huge legal victory in the face of flagging polling numbers for the 2016 race. The 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin sided with Perry’s pricy legal team, stating in a 96-page ruling that the charge of coercion of a public servant constituted a violation of the former governor’s free speech rights. Perry, who left office in January, was indicted last August on the coercion charge and a separate charge of abuse of official power, which wasn’t affected by the ruling. For now, he'll still have to face the abuse of power charge — which could tie him up in court and eat into valuable on-the-ground campaigning time in the midst of his White House run.

Turkey continues airstrikes Jets target Kurds in Iraq, more ISIS positions in Syria By SUZAN FRASER Associated Press
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish jets struck camps belonging to Kurdish militants in northern Iraq, authorities said today, the first strikes since a peace deal was announced in 2013, and again bombed Islamic State positions in Syria. The strikes in Iraq targeted the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, whose affiliates have been effective in battling the Islamic State group. The strikes further complicate the U.S.-led war against the extremists, which has relied on Kurdish ground forces making gains in Iraq and Syria. A spokesman in Iraq for the PKK, which has been fighting Turkey for autonomy since 1984 and is considered a terrorist organization by Ankara and its allies, said the strikes likely spelled the end of the peace process. “Turkey has basically ended the cease-fire,” Zagros
Hiwa told The Associated Press. He said the first wave of strikes launched overnight today didn’t appear to cause casualties. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced a few hours later that he had ordered “a third wave” of raids against the IS in Syria and a “second wave” of strikes against the PKK in northern Iraq — which were ongoing. “Turkey’s operations will, if needed, continue until the terror organizations’ command centers, all locations where they plan (attacks) against Turkey and all depots used to store arms to be used against Turkey, are destroyed,” Davutoglu said. He accused the PKK of not keeping a pledge to withdraw armed fighters from Turkish territory and to disarm. The government statement earlier said the first strikes targeted seven areas including the Qandil mountains, where the PKK’s command is based.
The statement did not detail Islamic State targets but described the airstrikes in both Syria and Iraq as being “effective.” Hiwa said the jets struck villages in the Qandil mountains, although the PKK base was not hit. Turkey’s military also shelled Islamic State and PKK positions in Syria from across the Turkish border, the government said. It vowed to press ahead with operations against the PKK and IS, saying it was “determined to take all steps to ensure peace and security for our people.” Turkish police, meanwhile, proceeded with a major operation against the Islamic State, the PKK and the far-left DHKP-C for a second day. Close to 600 people were detained in raids in 22 provinces, Davutoglu said. Tensions flared with Kurds after an Islamic State suicide bombing in the southeastern Turkish city of Suruc on Monday killed 32 people. Kurdish groups held the Turkish government responsible, saying it had not been aggressive in battling the Islamic State group. On Wednesday, the PKK
claimed responsibility for killing two Turkish police officers near the Kurdish majority city of Sanliurfa, near the Syrian border. In other attacks, seven police officers were wounded after suspected PKK militants hurled a small bomb at a police station in Bismil, near the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, the Dogan news agency reported Friday. Another small bomb was thrown at officers in a police vehicle in Semdinli, near the border with Iraq, the agency said. On Friday, Turkey announced that it was allowing its air bases to be used by the U.S.-led coalition forces for operations against Islamic State extremists. Turkey had been reluctant to join U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State group. It had long insisted that coalition operations should also target Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime, which Ankara blames for all ills in Syria, and it also pressed for the establishment of a no-fly zone inside Syria, along the Turkish border. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu today did not
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jonathan Pollard, an American who was convicted of spying for Israel in a sensational espionage case that inflamed public sentiment, could be released from federal prison within months, his lawyer and the Justice Department said Friday. Pollard becomes eligible for parole in November, on the 30th anniversary of his arrest on charges of selling classified information to Israel. He will be presumptively eligible for release unless the U.S. Parole Commission determines that he has a record of bad behavior in prison or is likely to commit new crimes. U.S. officials say they’re unlikely to oppose his parole. But the Justice Department says it expects Pollard to serve out his entire sentence. Pollard, 60, who has battled health problems in recent years, is being held in a North Carolina prison. The federal Bureau of Prisons website lists his expected release date as Nov. 21.
Earthquake jolts Pakistan, killing 3 MANSEHRA, Pakistan (AP) — Authorities in Pakistan say an earthquake that jolted the country early this morning has killed three people. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-5.1 quake rocked Islamabad and elsewhere in northwest Pakistan at 2 a.m. today. The tremor was so strong that people came out of their homes and started reciting verses from the Quran. Senior police officer Akhtar Hayat Khan said the roofs of three homes caved in because of the earthquake in a village on the outskirts of Abbottabad, killing three people. He said police did not receive any other reports about damage in the region.
Firefighters make gains against blazes WINTERS, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters made slow but steady progress against a Northern California wildfire near Napa Valley wine country where some 150 homes were under evacuation orders and more than 10½ square miles had burned. Crews battling a separate blaze in the Sierra Nevada on Friday had reopened one lane of a freeway linking Sacramento and Reno, Nev., and were escorting traffic through the fire area. The blaze was 30 percent contained. The other fire, in the Sierra Nevada southwest of Lake Tahoe, has charred 200 acres in heavy timber. It was burning on both sides of the American River and U.S. Highway 50, which was closed but for one lane about 60 miles east of Sacramento.
confirm Turkish news reports that claimed that the United States and Turkey had agreed to establish a secure area in Syria, saying safe zones would be automatically formed in Iraq and Syria once the IS threat disappears. “At the end of this efficient fight against IS, areas that have been cleared of IS (militants) will become safe zones,” Cavusoglu said. On Friday, three F-16 jets struck Islamic State targets that included two command centers and a gathering point near the Turkish border in Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said nine Islamic State militants were killed in the raids. The extremists have yet to comment on the strikes. The Syrian government has so far refrained from commenting on Turkish strikes inside Syrian territory, but Syria’s main political opposition group, which is backed by Ankara, welcomed Turkey’s move. Associated Press writers Bram Janssen in Irbil, Iraq; Vivian Salama in Baghdad; and Zeina Karam in Beirut contributed to this report.

Obama: Africa is ‘on the move’ By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya — President Barack Obama heralded Africa as a continent “on the move” today as he opened a U.S.-sponsored business summit in Kenya, the East African nation where he has deep family ties. “Africa is one of the fastest-growing regions of the world,” Obama said. “People are being lifted out of poverty.” Obama’s visit to Kenya — the first by a sitting U.S. president — has been highly anticipated in a nation that views him as a local son. The president’s late father was born in Kenya and many family members still live here, including his elderly stepgrandmother. “This is personal for me,” Obama said. “There’s a reason why my name is Barack Hussein Obama.” Much of the president’s visit is focused on boosting business and security ties with Kenya, a growing economy grappling with the threat of terrorism — most notably from the Somalia-based al-Shabab network. Nearly two dozen U.S. lawmakers and 200 American investors have joined Obama on his trip, which also includes a stop in Ethiopia. Speaking at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit today, Obama announced more than $1 billion new

commitments from the U.S. government, as well as American banks, foundations and philanthropists. Half of the money will go to support women and young people, who Obama says face bigger obstacles when trying to start businesses. “If half of your team is not playing, you’ve got a problem,” Obama said, referring to women excluded from the formal economy. Obama hosted the inaugural entrepreneurship summit at the White House in 2010. This year’s conference is the first to be held in sub-Saharan Africa. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who co-hosted the summit with Obama, lamented that the continent’s security and other challenges, including the 2013 attack on an upscale Nairobi mall, had created a negative reputation. He said he hoped Obama’s visit would help change the narrative about Kenya and Africa. “Africa is the world’s newest and most promising frontier of limitless opportunity,” Kenyatta said. “Gone are the days when the only lens to view our continent was one of despair and indignity.” After his speech to the summit, Obama toured an innovation fair highlighting the work of vendors working with his Power Africa initiative, which aims to double sub-Saharan access to electricity. As he pe-
HOBART, Australia (AP) — A woman watched her father being mauled to death by a large shark today while the pair were diving off the Australian island state of Tasmania, police said. The adult woman had returned to their boat with scallops that the pair had collected, then became concerned that her father, in his late 40s, had not surfaced after her, Inspector David Wiss told reporters in the state capital, Hobart.
rused solar panels and posed for photos, Obama acknowledged concerns that the program’s progress has been slow, but said it would soon help millions and that building power plants takes time — even in the U.S. Obama arrived in Nairobi late Friday and spent the night reuniting with his father’s family. Security was tight in the Kenyan capital, with some of the city’s normally bustling streets closed to traffic and pedestrians during his visit. Still, there was palpable excitement in Nairobi for Obama’s longawaited visit. U.S. and Kenyan flags lined the main road from the airport and billboards bearing Obama’s picture dotted the city. Local newspapers marveled at the massive U.S. Secret Service contingent that accompanies Obama whenever he travels overseas. Ahead of a formal meeting with Kenyatta this afternoon, Obama placed a wreath at the site of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. Obama bowed his head for a moment, then studied the names of the victims etched into a brick wall. Extremists simultaneously attacked the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998. The Kenya attack killed more than 200 Kenyans and 12 Americans at the embassy. Thousands were injured.
“His daughter became worried and went down and checked on her father,” Wiss said. “She saw a very large shark; she saw her father being attacked by the shark.” The attack happened off the east coast near where a 15-foot great white shark was seen on Friday, government ranger Peter Lingard told The Examiner newspaper. The last fatal attack off the Australian coast occurred in February.
NEW YORK — Even as TV watchers increasingly go online, AT&T has become the country’s biggest traditional TV provider with its $48.5 billion purchase of DirecTV. It got its regulatory approval Friday from the Federal Communications Commission after more than a year. The Justice Department had already cleared the deal on Tuesday. AT&T Inc. now has 26.4 million cable and satellite TV subscribers. That’s more than Comcast as well as a bigger Charter, which is seeking government approval to buy Time Warner Cable. Suppliers of TV are buying one another as video from Internet competitors like Netflix gets more popular and costs rise for channels. Adding TV customers gives AT&T more power to negotiate with big media companies over prices for those channels. The deal also combines a nationwide satellite TV service, the country’s largest, with the No. 2 nationwide wireless network as time spent on mobile devices increases. DirecTV also has 19.5 million customers in Latin America, where AT&T wants to grow. “We’ll now be able to meet consumers’ future entertainment preferences, whether they want traditional TV service with premier programming, their favorite content on a mobile device, or video streamed over the Internet to any screen,” said AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson in a statement. What could change for customers? AT&T said that it will launch new TV, Internet and mobile phone bundles in the coming weeks. AT&T’s purchase of DirecTV was approved even as Comcast’s bid for Time Warner Cable, which would have made the country’s biggest cable company even more massive, was blocked. The AT&T deal did not trigger the same fears from consumer advocates because the company wouldn’t contain an entertainment division like Comcast’s NBCUniversal and wouldn’t gain Internet customers, considered the future of the industry, by buying DirecTV. The FCC repeated Friday that it had set certain requirements for the merger, which it had disclosed on Tuesday when the head of the agency announced his support for the deal. Among these are that AT&T has to expand a fiber network that can handle fast Internet speeds to 12.5 million possible customers, which it says compensates for the loss of a video option in markets where AT&T’s Uverse cable service had competed with DirecTV’s satellite TV service. The agency said the fiber network requirement will help Internet video competitors reach customers. AT&T said Friday that including that 12.5 million requirement, its all-fiber Internet network will reach more than 14 million potential subscribers.

More than you can handle Extra tea: Joshua 1:1—9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. — Joshua 1:9 (NIV) “God won’t give you any more than you can handle.” You’ve heard that said many times, I’m sure — maybe even have said it yourself. The words are meant to comfort someone going through a difficult time. But it isn’t true. Gasp! What? Doesn’t the Bible say God won’t allow something to be more than we can stand? You may cite 1 Corinthians 10:13. But that verse says God won’t allow a Michele Huey’s temptation to be more column than we can appears every endure — Saturday. temptation, Email not trial. comments to There’s a michele difference. huey@yahoo. Trials and com. tribulations are the hard times we go through, the times when we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Temptations are enticements to do wrong, to sin. Trials, tribulations and temptations are all times of testing. Therein lies the confusion. The Bible doesn’t tell us that God won’t give us any more hard times than we can endure. At times He does. Think about grief, loss, betrayal. What does the Word tell us, then? That troubles will come: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all (Psalm 34:19). “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (Jesus, as quoted in John 16:33). To “cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). To pray about it. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you” (Psalm 50:15). Jesus Himself invites us to come to Him with our heavy burdens and He will give us rest (Matthew 11:28). Oh, I could go on and on and on, citing Scripture. But did you notice something about every Scripture I did quote? Read the second part: God cares, delivers, overcomes, guards, gives rest. Relief, strength and victory come from God alone. Not our striving. Not our wit and wisdom. Not our own ingenuity. Much is said and written about self-help. About overcoming in our own strength. About pulling ourselves up by our own bootstraps. About independence. We pride ourselves on how we can overcome difficulty without anyone’s help. But we were never meant to be independent of our Creator. “In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). When Joshua stepped into Moses’ sandals, he faced an overwhelming task: Lead the Israelites in battle to conquer the Promised Land. Yikes! They faced crossing a river at flood stage, taking walled cities and facing the giants of the land (the Anakim). In short, it was a tall order — an impossible feat — without the help of El Shaddai.

CHURCH BRIEFS Meditation retreat day Karma Thegsum Choling of Indiana County, a traditional Tibetan meditation center, welcomes the Indiana community to a daylong meditation retreat until 4 p.m. today at the center, 1170F Wayne Ave., White Township. The retreat features six hourly meditation sessions with a vegetarian potluck lunch at noon. At each meditation session, instruction will be provided on different styles of meditation: sitting, walking, meta (loving-kindness), sound, tonglin (compassion) and eating meditations, followed by ample opportunity to meditate with these different techniques. Walking meditation may be held on the nearby Hoodlebug Trail as weather permits. The principles of meditation are simple to understand but require effort, especially in the beginning. Meditation acknowledges the constant chatter of thoughts, emotions and sensory stimulation. It does not strive to stop those thoughts but creates an awareness of their presence which changes our relationship to the thoughts. Studies show that mindfulness meditation provides benefits for physical and mental health. Sessions will be led by KTC members trained in meditation instruction. Meditation Retreat Day is open to the public. No prior experience is needed. Sessions begin on the hour. People are welcome to attend the whole day retreat or one or more sessions. To attend the lunch, please bring a vegetarian dish to

Study: Costly new drug sharply lowers cholesterol By ANDREW POLLACK New York Times News Service
Federal regulators on Friday approved the first of a new class of drug that can sharply lower cholesterol levels, offering a new option for millions of Americans suffering from cardiovascular disease, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading killer. But the drug, Praluent, which analysts project will become a huge seller, is expected to become the next flashpoint in the growing controversy of escalating pharmaceutical prices, and health plans are expected to put in place strict measures to control which patients can use the drug and prevent it from becoming a budgetbuster. The list price of Praluent is about $14,600 a year, substantially higher than the $7,000 to $12,000 that some health plan executives and Wall Street analysts had been expecting. Typically insurers and government health programs get discounts or rebates. Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, which developed the product, said the
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I CAN TELL you there is a lot of hope on the part of our patients. There is such a high need for these medications.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Seth Martin, Johns Hopkins University price was justified by the potential benefits to patients and savings to the health care system that the drug would provide by preventing heart attacks and strokes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though the ability of the drug to do that has not been proved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came to a price that is reflective of value, not what the market will bear,â&#x20AC;? said Elias Zerhouni, head of research and development at Sanofi, who said his brother had suffered three heart attacks and needed new options to control cholesterol. In clinical trials, Praluent reduced levels of LDL cholesterol, the so-called bad cholesterol, by 40 percent or more, even among patients already taking statins, the mainstay pills like Lipitor for controlling blood lipids. Some cardiologists say
Praluent and similar drugs in the pipeline represent significant advances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell you there is a lot of hope on the part of our patients,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Seth Martin, associate director of the lipid clinic at Johns Hopkins University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is such a high need for these medications.â&#x20AC;? Praluent, also known as alirocumab, was endorsed last month by outside advisers to the Food and Drug Administration. So was Repatha, or evolocumab, a similar drug developed by Amgen that is expected to win FDA approval by the end of August. But there was considerable debate among the advisers as to how broadly the drugs should be used. In its decision on Friday, the FDA approved Praluent for patients who have had
Drug lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplices may have had prison blueprints By WILLIAM NEUMAN New York Times News Service
MEXICO CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ever since the powerful drug lord known as El Chapo escaped from a maximum-security prison through a mile-long tunnel that opened right into the shower of his cell, Mexico has been wondering how his accomplices got their hands on the blueprints to operate with such pinpoint precision. The answer could be quite simple: They may have had them for years. It turns out that the prison is a virtual replica of another lockup that El Chapo, whose real name is JoaquĂn GuzmĂĄn, broke out of in 2001 in an almost equally audacious escape. In other words, he essentially broke out of the same prison twice. Authorities believe that for his first escape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by some accounts, he sneaked out in a laundry cart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; GuzmĂĄn had the help of a top prison security official who went on to become a trusted member of his Sinaloa cartel. Investigators think that the confederate, DĂĄmaso LĂłpez, may have taken a copy of the blueprints for the other prison when he left his job around the time of GuzmĂĄnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier escape, a senior Mexican law enforcement official said. And since the layout of the two prisons is virtually identical, those blueprints could have come in handy when planning this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakout. The official said that LĂłpez was now a prime suspect in the hunt for the people who planned and carried out this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape. Beyond the possible blueprints, LĂłpez is believed to have close knowledge of the layout of the prisons and security procedures.
JOAQUĂ?N GUZMĂ N ... known as El Chapo The tunnel makers may have also had the GPS coordinates for GuzmĂĄnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shower stall. Authorities have so far detained seven prison employees, including four whose job was to watch closed-circuit television monitors that showed GuzmĂĄnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell and three guards. But LĂłpez remains at large.

LĂłpez was charged with drug trafficking in a 2011 indictment filed in federal court in Virginia, and in 2013 he was described as GuzmĂĄnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right-hand man and a senior lieutenant in the Sinaloa cartel in a statement by the Treasury Department. The tunnel that GuzmĂĄn used to escape included ventilation and lighting and extended for about a mile, under the prison walls, ending in a shaft that opened in a hole about 20 inches by 20 inches in the floor of the tiny shower of his cell. There was little room for error. Being off by a foot or two would have meant failure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly they needed the blueprints,â&#x20AC;? Interior Secretary Miguel Ă ngel Osorio Chong said in a news conference last week, although he did not say how GuzmĂĄnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s henchmen may have gotten them.

heart attacks, strokes, chest pain or related conditions, or have a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol and who require additional lowering of LDL despite taking the highest dose of a statin they can tolerate. Executives at Sanofi and Regeneron estimate that 8 million to 10 million Americans in those categories need to further lower their cholesterol. But they said they did not know how many of them were already taking a maximally tolerated dose of statins. Health plans are worried that so many patients might use the drugs, which might be taken for life, that it would cost billions or even tens of billions of dollars a year. The health care system is still smarting from the experience with Sovaldi, a rapidly adopted drug for hepatitis C from Gilead Sciences that costs $1,000 a pill. Gilead sold $12.4 billion worth of Sovaldi and a related drug in 2014, the first full year on the market, straining the budgets of insurance companies and Medicaid programs.
Lessons learned, payers appear much better prepared for Praluent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will limit it to those select individuals at the highest risk,â&#x20AC;? said David Lassen, chief clinical officer at Prime Therapeutics, a pharmacy benefit manager. One way health plans will do that is to keep patients on statins, which are mainly inexpensive generics. So the new drugs could improve public health indirectly, by increasing use of statins, which are proved to prevent heart attacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to help some people without even taking our drug,â&#x20AC;? said Leonard S. Schleifer, chief executive of Regeneron. Dr. Troyen Brennan, chief medical officer of CVS Health, which owns a pharmacy benefit manager, said his company would demand evidence through blood tests if a patient claimed to be unable to tolerate statins because of side effects and wanted to switch to one of the expensive new drugs. Brennan said he was disappointed in the price set by the companies. Express Scripts, the largest
pharmacy benefits manager, has told its clients that it would switch patients getting statins to mail delivery because patients served this way were less likely to quit taking their medicines than those who pick up prescriptions at the drugstore. Pharmacy benefit managers and health plans might also pit Amgen and Sanofi against each other, choosing to use only the least expensive drug and shut out the other. That tactic worked well to wring discounts from Gilead, once it faced competition in hepatitis C from AbbVie starting late last year. Zerhouni of Sanofi said there would not be a repeat of what happened with Sovaldi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gilead shocked the system by $12 billion a year the first year,â&#x20AC;? Zerhouni said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our wildest dream we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that happeningâ&#x20AC;? with the cholesterol drugs. Wall Street analysts estimate sales of several hundred million dollars for Praluent in 2016, though eventually sales could climb to several billion dollars annually.

Feds: Five sold heroin that killed 3
Gazette wire services
Wolf seeks review of clinic video
teachers and administrators have also been charged criminally.
HARRISBURG (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf says his administration is taking steps to make sure that human fetal tissue isn’t being sold commercially in Pennsylvania. Wolf said in an interview Friday on KQV-AM radio in Pittsburgh that the review is in response to an undercover video that showed national Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they provide organs from aborted fetuses for research. The group that made the video says it proves Planned Parenthood is breaking federal law against selling human fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood says it legally helps women who want to donate fetal tissue for scientific research, not sell it commercially. Wolf says he doesn’t think it’s happening in Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh church festival canceled
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two more retired Philadelphia School District administrators have surrendered their credentials after an investigation into cheating on state standardized tests. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Darlynn Gray, 54, and Ellen Berson, 45, turned in their certifications in the face of allegations that they violated the “integrity and security” of the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment exams. The state didn’t provide details of the misconduct. Gray, a former principal, said Thursday she did the best she could do and there are “consequences for actions.” Berson, who was an assistant principal under Gray, couldn’t be reached for comment. Both women retired in 2013. They are the 10th and 11th district educators to be disciplined since a statewide cheating scandal was uncovered in 2011. Seven
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pittsburgh church festival that’s been a tradition for nearly five decades has been canceled after groups of teens ran amok and began fighting. Deacon James Grab of St. Basil Catholic Parish said overcrowding was also a problem. The festival has run six evenings in past years, but was scheduled for just Wednesday through Saturday this year. Pittsburgh police say nobody was arrested or injured. The Rev. Stephen Kresak said the rest of the festival was canceled after Wednesday night’s problems because the parish felt it couldn’t guarantee people’s safety, even with two police officers hired for security.

deals took place in January and February, and related documents seeking to seize more than $7,000 in drug proceeds from the four Pittsburghers detail the circumstances surrounding two deaths. On Jan. 25, a 47-year-old man fatally overdosed at a hotel room in the city’s Oakland section, a trendy neighborhood near the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. According to a warrant to seize $5,319 in drug money, McCullough sold the dead man and a friend some heroin earlier that day. McCullough got the drugs from Skrine and those two men “distributed heroin together” and “Toland was their source of supply.” Heroin bags stamped “HBO” were found in the dead man’s hotel room, and an autopsy showed he died from heroin and citalopram, an antidepressant, the warrant said. Heroin is sold in individual
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Five men sold heroin that caused the overdose deaths of two men and one woman in western Pennsylvania earlier this year, federal authorities said Friday. All five are charged with possessing with intent to deliver and delivering heroin that resulted in death, punishable by 20 years to life in prison. Some also face additional charges, including possessing weapons during a drug crime, which can add five years to life to any other sentence they receive. Court documents unsealed late Thursday identified the suspects as Andrew Micheli, 22, of Bridgeville, and four Pittsburgh men: Antonio Rutherford, 26; Richard Toland; 56; Edward Skrine, 58; and Anthony McCullough, 54. The indictments don’t name the overdose victims. But they indicate the drug
dose bags that are generally stamped with a name or a picture that gives street users a “brand” name of sorts. Toland faces the most charges of those revealed Friday. He faces additional charges of possession with intent to distribute heroin, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and possessing a firearm by a convicted felon. Toland has six previous drug trafficking convictions and one for aggravated assault between 1995 and 2003, and was sentenced to three to six years in prison in 2003, authorities said. Rutherford sold heroin to a 26-year-old man who over-
dosed at home on Jan. 19, according to a warrant seeking to seize more than $1,700 in alleged drug money from him. The dead man’s family knew that Rutherford was his heroin dealer, but Rutherford didn’t heed warnings to stay away from the man, the warrant said. Like Toland, Rutherford faces the added charge of using a gun during a drug crime. Micheli is charged with selling heroin that killed a woman on Jan. 15, but additional details weren’t available because there was no seizure warrant filed in his case.

Man leads police on chase with baby ALLENTOWN (AP) — A Pennsylvania man faces charges of fleeing police and child endangerment after police say he led them on a seven-mile chase that reached speeds of more than 120 mph, with an 8month-old baby in the vehicle. The Express-Times of Easton reported that Jesse Lee Shaw Jr., 44, of Allentown, was arrested early Friday morning and jailed on $25,000 bail. State police say Shaw told them he fled because his license was suspended and he didn’t want to go back to jail. Police say he drove through a truck stop and drugstore parking lot before speeding away, sometimes in the opposing lane of traffic and through a red light. Police say the vehicle became airborne and bottomed out, eventually becoming disabled.

Baritone Parks earns top spot Continued from Page 1 the best quality. They responded and said I should apply next year. And I did.” Anticipation built as Domingo’s staff reviewed the applications for Operalia. “I found out in March. My wife, Julie, and I just got to the hospital and she was about to deliver our baby, Willow,” Parks recalled. “It was really earlier on in the day, we had just checked into the hospital and were sitting around and I got an email from Operalia. “It was pretty wild!” From March 19, Parks and the others had more than three months to tune up for the stage. They arrived July 13 in London. Parks was among a field of 40 quarterfinalists from 21 nations who sang in the preliminary rounds for an international panel of judges. The field was narrowed over to 20 semifinalists and then 11 finalists. Parks made the eliminations on the strength of some of his traditional work — an aria from “Il barbiere di Siviglia” (“The Barber of Seville”). “I debuted in the Met singing Fiorello in ‘Barber of Seville,’ and then I sang the actual Figaro, the part of the barber, in Orlando. So I use that aria quite a bit for auditions and other competitions,” Parks said. “In the first round, I started with that aria … then they picked a second aria, one that I sang from ‘The Pearl Fishers’ by Bizet. That’s also a role that I had sung before.” For the semifinal round, Parks said, the judges made the choices. “They picked one aria the day before. When they announced who was moving on to the second round, they announced the aria which you would be singing, and I sang an aria from ‘The Queen of Spades,’ called ‘Yeletsky’s Aria.’” To wrap up the competition, Parks got the OK for his Figaro role again. “Maestro Domingo had ideas of what he wanted people to sing, too. So there was a little conversation about what you wanted, what he thought would be good for you, and for the program and the concert,” Parks said. Parks was the first to take the stage on Sunday, as the finalists performed in a Gala Concert on Covent Garden’s main stage accompanied by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House conducted by Domingo. (It’s online at http://www. m e d i c i . t v / # ! / o p e ra l i a 2015-final-round-londonopera-placido-domingo.) He was one of three Americans to qualify for the finals, and the top singers shared in more than $160,000 in awards. Parks carried away a prize of $10,000 as the thirdplace male singer. But the competition provides priceless rewards for the young emerging singers. “It is one of the most prestigious voice competitions,” said Christopher Hahn, the general director of the Pittsburgh Opera. “Plácido Domingo founded it … with a particular interest in discovering new voices and encouraging new voices, and he is interested in an international feel to it.” Domingo’s Operalia competition circulates each year to different opera houses around the world. London hosted it for the first time this year. Hahn, a past judge for Operalia, said most other singing competitions are based in Europe. “Voice competitions are an incredibly important tool in encouraging young singers,” Hahn said. Top instructors and schools are expensive and, Hahn said, the prize money in contests like Operalia help aspiring students to further their training. “Operalia is one of the world’s most prestigious and influential singing competitions. The number of competitors (both winners and participants) who have gone on to enjoy extraordinary careers is re-
markable,” said Anthony Freud, general director of the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and a member of the Operalia jury the past two years. “It’s like a lot of other great competitions and programs you might go into,” Parks said. “It carries a label. Being a finalist or winning a prize at Operalia — it’s great just because of what it does for your résumé. And the judges that were judging that competition are all casting or artistic directors for major opera houses, so it was a weeklong audition for them.” Parks graduated from Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artists Development Program, then debuted with the Met in the 2009-10 season, as Fiorello in “Il barbiere di Siviglia,” and has since appeared as Schaunard in “La bohème” and as Larkens in “La fancuilla del West,” which was broadcast in HD around the world. He also appeared as Schaunard in the Met’s 2011 tour of Japan. Parks said he has been booked for shows along the Atlantic coast for the 201516 opera season. “This season, I’m debuting at a lot of different opera houses,” Parks said. “I’ll go to Virginia and do ‘La bohème’ there, and then I go to Atlanta, I’ll do my first ‘Don Giovanni’ in Savannah. “And I’m back at the Met in the winter for ‘La bohème.’” Add to all that Parks’ performances with the Atlanta Opera and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Central City Opera in Colorado, Michigan Opera Theater, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Opera Theatre of St. Louis, along with a series of foundation awards and competitive honors, and it amounts to a prestigious start to his career, Hahn said. “The Operalia competition is trying to identify supreme talent and they base that on what comes out of the competition. It’s all about the quality of the voice, and anything like this is a great endorsement,” Hahn said. “When I and any of my colleagues in the opera world are auditioning singers, we are made aware of what they’ve done, and a lot of it has to do with what roles they’ve sung. “A young singer is building a résumé that includes as many big hits as possible.” That’s what Hahn sees in Parks’ experience. “The fact that he emerged out of that (Lindemann Young Artists) program is a great endorsement, because it’s very hard to get into that program,” Hahn said. “He has performed in Atlanta, and with other companies … he is starting to make his way. “The things he has been doing look appropriate to his age and talent.” Domingo oversees the Operalia competition and presents the awards, but doesn’t vote on the winners, according to the Operalia website (http://www. operaliacompetition.org/n ewsOperalia). He’s there as an adviser and counselor, “offering guidance on artistic and career development to each of the participants. Singers at earlier stages of their careers may be chosen to join one of the Young Artist programs established by Domingo” in Washington, Los Angeles and Valencia, Spain, according to the site. “Talent alone is not enough; it is also essential for young singers to come to the attention of those impresarios, managers, casting directors, conductors and stage directors who can further their professional careers,” according to Domingo. “My purpose in Operalia is to help identify not only the best voices, but also to discover those singers whose personalities, characters and powers of interpretation show that they have the potential to become complete artists. Individuals such as these become tomorrow’s stars.”

BRYNN ANDERSON/Associated Press
Survivor describes shooting scene Continued from Page 1 that he had visited the theater more than once, perhaps to determine “whether there was anything that could be a soft target for him.” He had only been in Louisiana since early July, staying in a Motel 6 room littered with wigs and disguises. His only known connection to Lafayette was an uncle who died there three decades ago. Details quickly emerged about Houser’s mental problems, prompting authorities in Louisiana and Alabama to bemoan the underfunding of mental health services in America. Court records describe erratic behavior and threats of violence that led to a brief involuntary hospitalization in 2008 and a restraining order preventing Houser from approaching family members. Houser “has a history of mental health issues, i.e., manic depression and/or bipolar disorder,” his estranged wife told the judge. Educated in accounting and law, he owned bars in Georgia — including one where he flew a Nazi banner out front as an anti-government statement. He tried real estate in Phenix City. But Houser’s own résumé, posted online, says what he really loved to do was make provocative statements at local board meetings and in the media. On an NBC television affiliate’s call-in show in the 1990s, Houser encouraged
violent responses to abortion and condemned working women, host Calvin Floyd recalled. He was an “angry man” who spoke opposite a Democrat and really lit up the phones, he added. Houser wrote that he was a weekly guest for 60 episodes on “Rise and Shine WLTZ” in Columbus, Ga., where he “invited political controversy on every one of them, and loved every minute of it.” In recent years, Houser turned to right-wing extremist Internet message boards, where he praised Adolf Hitler, and advised people not to underestimate “the power of the lone wolf,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose hate-group watchdogs spotted Houser registering to meet with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in 2005. What prompted Houser to kill people Thursday night remains unknown. He seemed like just another patron as he entered Lafayette’s The Grand 16 theater, one of 25 people who bought tickets to the romantic comedy starring feminist jokester Amy Schumer as a boozing, promiscuous reporter. Police believe he hoped to escape his deadly ambush before police closed in. Inside a Motel 6 room he rented, they found wigs, glasses and other disguises. Houser also swapped the license plates on his 1995 Lincoln Continental before parking it by the theater’s exit door. He
stashed the keys atop one of its tires. Once inside, he sat by himself and gave others in the theater no reason for concern before he began shooting, firing first at two women who were sitting in front of him, then wounding nine other people. Mann said after hearing the first shot, she looked to her left and saw Houser fire at least four more times in a semicircle in front of him. The situation was so difficult to comprehend that Mann said she didn’t scream. “After the first shot you could hear people saying ‘What?’ What was that?’ because I think everybody had this reaction,” she said. “It was a strange. You go to the movies to escape from problems and escape from thoughts and due dates,” she said. “You needed a second to think, ‘OK, this is real, this is happening.’” She dropped to the ground and scrambled to the exit on her hands and knees, leaving behind a shoe and her purse. As she ran through the movie theater to the parking lot, she could hear people yelling that there was a shooter inside. Among the chaos, Jeanerette High School English teacher Martin and librarian Jena Meaux were credited with helping save lives. Meaux, who was shot in the leg, told her colleagues that Martin, who was shot in the kneecap, still managed to pull a fire alarm, their former principal Heath Hulin said. The lights came on as the
siren sounded, with a message urging everyone to leave. Outside, a woman was laying down, shot in her leg, said Jacob Broussard, who heard the gunshots from another theater across the hall. “She was bleeding on the grass, in the front of the theater,” Broussard said. “A man had actually dragged her out.” The two women killed were 21-year-old Mayci Breaux and 33-year-old Jillian Johnson. Breaux’s body was brought to the same hospital where she was preparing to become a radiology technician. Johnson ran clothing and art boutiques, played in a rootsy rock band and planted fruit trees for neighbors and the homeless. Across Lafayette, there’s been an outpouring of love for the victims with people leaving them flowers and business signs calling on people to remember the victims. “Stay strong Lafayette,” read a sign in front of a Walgreen’s. “I will never know those women but I think there will always be a love for them,” said Mann, a senior at Louisiana State University who wants to become a doctor. The wounded ranged in age from teenagers to those in their late 60s, Craft said. Five were treated at Lafayette General Health Center. Three patients had been stabilized, including one who remained in intensive care. Two others were released Thursday night.
Wolf: Services funding may stall Continued from Page 1 Pittsburgh Nonprofit Partnership. In 2009, many social service agencies laid off employees, borrowed money or shut down during a budget impasse that lasted into October under then-Gov. Ed Rendell. The last payments to social services providers went out earlier in July, meaning that the first missed payment
would be in August if the impasse continues, according to officials from the Pittsburgh-based Forbes Funds, a group that supports the nonprofit sector. Through Wednesday, $312 million in payments had been held up because of the impasse, according to the Wolf administration. The majority of that money, $218 million, is payments to counties for human services pro-
grams. A low-interest loan program arranged by The Forbes Funds through Bridgeway Capital has received five applications, with more being filled out, said Matt Zieger, vice president of The Forbes Funds. Still, nonprofits will get hit with a “double whammy” of having to pay borrowing costs — or losing interest on reserves they spend — and then climbing out of a hole
created by the missed payments, Balbier said. It otherwise will be challenging for nonprofits to get a bank loan, Balbier and Zieger said. “It’s very difficult to convince a bank to lend you money if your funding has been frozen,” Balbier said. “And the interest rate you would get on that loan is exorbitant because it’s very high risk.”
Clinton emails said to have classified data Continued from Page 1 swayed by the issue, according to polls. In their joint statement, the inspectors general said the classified information had originated with the nation’s intelligence agencies, such as the CIA or National Security Agency. It is against the law for someone to receive a classified document or briefing and then summarize that information in an unclassified email. The two investigators did not say whether Clinton sent or received the emails. If she received them, it is not clear that she would have known that they contained government secrets, since they were not marked classified. The inspectors general did not address whether they believed that Clinton should have known such information was not appropriate for her personal email. Regardless, the disclosure is an example of an unforeseen consequence of Clinton’s unusual computer setup. Security experts have questioned whether her practice made government secrets more vulnerable to
security risks and hacking. Exactly how much classified information Clinton had on the server is unclear. Investigators said they searched a sample of 40 emails and found four that contained government secrets. But McCullough said in a separate statement that although the State Department had granted limited access to its own inspector general, the department rejected McCullough’s request for access to the 30,000 emails that Clinton said were governmentrelated and gave to the State Department. Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, is “purported” to also have copies of the 30,000 emails on a thumb drive, according to McCullough. Campaigning in New York on Friday, Clinton pledged to cooperate with inquiries into her emails but also said she would stay focused on the issues at the heart of her presidential campaign. “We are all accountable to the American people to get the facts right, and I will do my part,” Clinton said. “But I’m also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the
big issues, that really matter to American families.” The discovery of the four emails prompted McCullough to refer the matter to FBI counterintelligence agents, who investigate crimes related to the mishandling of classified information. On Thursday night and again Friday morning, the Justice Department referred to the matter as a “criminal referral,” but later Friday dropped the word “criminal.” The inspectors general said late Friday that it was a “security referral” intended to alert authorities that “classified information may exist on at least one private server and thumb drive that are not in the government’s possession.” Irrespective of the terminology, the referral raises the possibility of a Justice Department investigation into Clinton’s emails as she campaigns for president. Polls show she is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination by a wide margin. Mishandling classified information is a crime. Justice Department officials said no decision had been made
about whether to open a criminal investigation. The refusal by the State Department to give McCullough access to the emails has reignited calls by Republicans for Clinton to hand over the server that she used to house the personal email account. “If Secretary Clinton truly has nothing to hide, she can prove it by immediately turning over her server to the proper authorities and allowing them to examine the complete record,” Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, said Friday. “Her poor judgment has undermined our national security, and it is time for her to finally do the right thing.” The Justice Department is typically reluctant to open politically charged investigations unless there is clear evidence of criminal wrongdoing. For example, authorities said last year that they would not open an investigation into dueling claims by the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee in a dispute that also centered around access to classified information.

Steelers return to Latrobe for 50th year By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
LATROBE — The Pittsburgh Steelers will check into the tidy dorms at Saint Vincent College for the 50th consecutive summer today. For the first time in a decade Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor won’t be among those getting their room keys and unpacking their shower shoes at the small school tucked in the southwest Pennsylvania hills. Things will certainly look different without LeBeau’s quiet professionalism, Polamalu’s wavy mane and Taylor’s per-
petually running mouth. Yet they really won’t feel different at a place where time has stood still in some ways for the better part of five decades. LeBeau’s replacement is longtime linebackers coach Keith Butler. Cortez Allen and Shamarko Thomas will be entrusted with the roles they’ve been groomed for as the heirs to Taylor and Polamalu. The Steelers spent the offseason doing what they do seemingly every spring: investing heavily in the draft, re-signing their core players (quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and defensive end Cameron Heyward this time around) and avoiding any kind of real splash in free agency.
It’s a method that has paid off in six Super Bowl trophies, with an eye toward the seventh ever present for a team coming off an AFC North title. The Steelers will be given a little extra time to get ready thanks to an appearance in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 9, giving coach Mike Tomlin — who signed an extension through 2018 on Thursday — and his staff ample opportunity to take a nice, long look at what few roster battles are out there. BLITZBERG? Butler’s long anticipated promotion came with one major directive: revive a pass rush that has slipped in recent seasons. Pittsburgh finished 26th in the league in sacks last season, a number Butler believes can tick upward Continued on Page 15
Special ceremony set Sunday LATROBE — The Steelers will hold a celebration Sunday as the team kicks off its training camp for the 50th consecutive year at Saint Vincent College. The festivities begin at noon. Activities include the Steelers Experience featuring interactive areas. Fans will also have opportunities to win prizes, including $50 Steelers Pro Shop gift cards and special pre-practice and postpractice VIP experiences. Prior to practice, there will be a special on-field ceremony. Practice is scheduled to start at 2:55 p.m. Following practice there will be a special Steelers Nation Unite VIP experience. Fans arriving early can attend the Black and Gold service, which takes place at the Saint Vincent church starting at 11:30 a.m.

Pirates get to Scherzer for three homers By WILL GRAVES
NATIONALS at PIRATES
AP Sports Writer
Tonight’s Game
PITTSBURGH — Max Scherzer came within a grazed elbow of a perfect game the last time he faced the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not this time. Not even close. Gregory Polanco ended a 12-pitch at-bat with a two-run homer off the Washington Nationals ace and later added an RBI single off reliever Sammy Solis as the Pirates pulled away for a 7-5 win on Friday night. “That’s kind of what we’re known for, just battling and grinding it out,” said Pittsburgh second baseman Neil Walker. “Games like tonight are pretty impressive given that’s one of the best pitchers in the league.” Scherzer overwhelmed the Pirates on June 20, throwing his first career no-hitter in a 6-0 romp, a wayward breaking ball that nicked
Gio Gonzalez (7-4, 3.93) vs. A.J. Burnett (8-3, 2.44), 7:05 p.m. pinch hitter Jose Tabata with two outs in the ninth the only thing separating Scherzer from a perfect game. Perfection was never on the table on a night the Pirates took advantage of a rare wobbly performance by the former Cy Young winner. Polanco, Walker and Pedro Alvarez all went deep against Scherzer, who tied a season high
by giving up five runs in five innings. “Just made some mistakes (and) they made me pay for it,” Scherzer said. “They know what I got and that’s how it goes sometimes.” Washington rallied to tie the game after Scherzer’s exit, but Brent Morel and Polanco delivered consecutive run-scoring hits off Solis (1-1) in the sixth as Pittsburgh won its second straight following a miserable 1-5 road trip after the All-Star break. “It looked like we were going to be in a fistfight,” Hurdle said. “Guys went up there and they did the best they could with what they had with where they were and they battled. It was fun to watch.” Vance Worley (4-5) picked up the win in relief. Mark Melancon worked around two hits in the ninth for his major-league leading 31st save. Continued on Page 14
Panama, Costa Rica ask for review of refs
U.S. looks for momentum in consolation match By RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer
CHESTER — Asked what winning the third-place game at the CONCACAF Gold Cup would mean, U.S. captain Michael Bradley paused for a moment, then said softly, “Not much.” The midfielder quickly added that pride and competitiveness would keep the Americans playing hard against a short-handed Panama squad, a promise repeated often by
his teammates and coach Jurgen Klinsmann on Friday. Once the U.S. was stunned by Jamaica in the semifinals, cutting short its bid to repeat as Gold Cup champion, today’s third-place match was left to build momentum and try out different lineups. In many ways, those are always objectives for Klinsmann as he seeks to develop a squad that can contend against the world’s best. Continued on Page 15
INDIANAPOLIS — A new rules package for Indianapolis Motor Speedway provided visibility issues for drivers. More troubling for NASCAR, though, is that after nearly five hours of practice Friday, there was little indication the changes will produce better racing. NASCAR, in its effort to improve the on-track product, is using four track-specific aerodynamic packages to see what could be a better fit for the heavy stock cars. The package used two weeks ago at Kentucky was wellreceived by the drivers, but NASCAR switched to a high-drag setup for Indianapolis, where passing has always been difficult. “Hey, man, this is a big event for us, it’s crucial that this event goes down as a good race every time we are here,” Clint Bowyer said. “Settling for second best is not an option. I’m proud that NASCAR realizes that and pushes hard to try to figure out something that is better than what we’ve had in the past when we come to such an important venue.” There were mixed opinions after three long practice sessions Friday, and many drivers said anytime they got too close to another car, the turbulence was so rough, they had to back off to avoid crashing. “Passing will be tough to say the least, but we’re trying something new,” Denny Hamlin said. “I can’t fault (NASCAR) for trying — they tried what we wanted to try (at Kentucky) and I thought we had a pretty successful race. Now we’re trying something different. We’ll see if it’s better or not.” Last year’s Brickyard 400, won for a record fifth time by Jeff Gordon, featured just 15 lead changes at the start/finish line — a number that NASCAR would like to see go up. The five-year average for green-flag passes for the lead is 16, and the margin of victory is a whopping 2.371 seconds. Continued on Page 16

Pirates get to Nats’ Scherzer

METS CATCHER Kevin Plawecki tagged out the Dodgers’ Enrique Hernandez on a play at the plate in the fifth inning of Friday night’s game in New York.
Kazmir wins in Astros debut By The Associated Press Scott Kazmir pitched seven strong innings in his Houston debut, leading the Astros to a 4-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. The 31-year-old left-hander limited the Royals to three singles and only one runner — Mike Moustakas in the fourth — past first base. Kazmir (6-5), who lowered his ERA to 2.24, retired the final nine batters he faced. Kazmir, acquired by the Astros from Oakland on Thursday for two minor leaguers, hasn’t lost a July start since July 10, 2010, going 7-0 in his past 14 starts. Preston Tucker had three of the Astros’ hits, including his fourth home run in five games. Tucker hit a basesloaded homer in the second. Colby Rasmus singled home Carlos Correa with the other run in the third. Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie (7-6) gave up four runs on 11 hits, matching his season high, and two walks in seven innings. RANGERS 4, ANGELS 2: Josh Hamilton doubled, singled and scored two runs in his return to Angel Stadium, and Texas got seven-plus outstanding innings of four-hit ball from Colby Lewis in a victory over Los Angeles. Hamilton was booed whenever he stepped to the plate or touched the ball at the stadium where he played the previous two seasons after signing a five-year, $125 million free-agent deal with the Angels. The former AL MVP was traded back to Texas three months ago following two dismal years in Orange County. Hamilton’s double off the right-field wall started the Rangers’ three-run rally in the fourth. Mike Trout hit his 29th home run, pulling even with Albert Pujols atop the AL homers race. Lewis (10-4) shook off his dismal career history against the Angels to dominate their surging lineup, striking out nine while yielding only three infield singles and Trout’s solo homer in the fourth. Tropeano (1-1) pitched seven-hit ball into the seventh inning of his second start for the Angels. Shawn Tolleson pitched the ninth for his 16th save. TWINS 10, YANKEES 1: Phil Hughes pitched seven shutout innings against his former team and Miguel Sano hit one of Minnesota’s four home runs in a victory over New York. Hughes (9-6) gave up seven hits, struck out three and wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh. Trevor Plouffe went 3 for 4 with a homer and a double and Torii Hunter and Brian Dozier also went deep for the Twins. Michael Pineda (9-7) gave up five runs on eight hits in 5 2-3 innings for the Yankees, who had their four-game winning streak snapped. MARINERS 5, BLUE JAYS 2: Felix Hernandez (12-5) pitched seven strong innings to pick up his 12th win of the season, Mark Trumbo gave Seattle the lead with a two-run homer and the Mariners beat Toronto. Seattle opened a key six-game homestand by getting production throughout its batting order and another solid performance from its staff ace. Trumbo’s opposite-field shot in the fourth off Toronto starter Marco Estrada (7-6) was his third homer since joining Seattle and gave the Mariners a 2-1 lead. Robinson Cano continued his hot month with a two-run triple in the fifth and later scored on a wild pitch with two outs to make it 5-1. Jose Bautista hit a solo homer in the sixth inning for Toronto. RED SOX 2, TIGERS 1: Xander Bogaerts’ single up the middle off Blaine Hardy in the 11th inning drove home the winning run, and Boston snapped an eight-game losing streak with a victory over Detroit. Hardy (3-2) gave up a leadoff walk to Mookie Betts, who moved to second on Brock Holt’s sacrifice bunt. Bogaerts then sent a changeup into center field and Betts beat the throw home in a play that withstood a video review as
the Red Sox celebrated their first victory in nearly two weeks. Justin Masterson (4-2) worked around Ian Kinsler’s third hit and a walk in the 11th to earn the win on a night Justin Verlander and former Detroit teammate Rick Porcello dueled to a draw. RAYS 3, ORIOLES 1: Tim Beckham snapped an eighth-inning tie with a two-out, bases-loaded single that gave Tampa Bay a victory over Baltimore. The sputtering Rays rallied after being limited to two hits over seven innings by Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who came within six outs of winning his sixth straight decision before walking Kevin Kiermaier leading off the eighth. Kiermaier stole second and raced home on John Jaso’s two-out single off reliever Darren O’Day (5-1) to make it 1-1. Evan Longoria followed with a bloop single and James Loney was walked intentionally before Beckham singled up the middle. Alex Colome (4-4) pitched a scoreless eighth, and Jake McGee worked the ninth for his fifth save. The Orioles lost for the first time this season when leading after seven innings. WHITE SOX 6, INDIANS 0: Jose Quintana pitched a seven-hitter for his first career shutout and complete game and Jose Abreu homered off Corey Kluber, sending Chicago to a victory over Cleveland. Quintana (5-9) got his first win since July 1, and the left-hander did it with customary control and efficiency. He did not allow a walk and hasn’t yielded a base on balls in five of his past six starts. The Indians only got two runners as far as second base against Quintana, who was making his 107th major league start. He struck out eight and improved to 5-4 in night starts. Abreu homered in the sixth off Kluber (5-11), and Melky Cabrera, batting .474 in his career against the defending Cy Young Award winner, hit a two-run double in the eighth to make it 4-0. NATIONAL LEAGUE CARDINALS 4, BRAVES 2: Randal Grichuk homered and rookie Tim Cooney threw seven solid innings to earn his first major league win, leading St. Louis to a victory over Atlanta. St. Louis improved to 6-1 since the All-Star break and pushed its home record to an MLB-best 35-12. Meanwhile, the Braves have lost their last six road games. Grichuk hit a two-run homer in the second inning for the second night in row. His 11th of the season came off rookie Manny Banuelos (1-2), who gave up six hits and four earned runs in five-plus innings. Cooney (1-0) gave up five hits and two earned runs in a 74-pitch stint. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. Kevin Siegrist retired the Braves in the ninth for his fifth save. He struck out Jonny Gomes with two on to end the game. PHILLIES 5, CUBS 3: Jeff Francoeur hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning and Philadelphia beat the Chicago Cubs. Francoeur drove his game-winner deep into the bleachers in left field off Cubs reliever Rafael Soriano, who came in for James Russell (0-2), who gave up a leadoff single to Cesar Hernandez in the 10th. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the 10th for Philadelphia and earned his 17th save in as many opportunities after Ken Giles (5-2) worked the ninth. The Phillies, who won for the sixth time in seven games since the All-Star break, tied the game in the ninth when Cody Asche delivered his second RBI double of the game off closer Jason Motte. Motte, who blew his first save in seven chances, stranded the go-ahead run at second by getting pinch-hitters Odubel Herrera and Carlos Ruiz to fly out. ROCKIES 6, REDS 5: Carlos Gonzalez homered twice, tying the game each time, and Charlie Blackmon scored on a wild pitch in the ninth inning to lift
The Indiana Gazette
Colorado past Cincinnati. Joey Votto homered in the top of the ninth off closer John Axford (3-3) to tie the game at 5. In the bottom of the inning, Blackmon laid down a one-out bunt single. He initially was called out trying to steal second. But a replay review showed second baseman Brandon Phillips didn’t quite get the tag down before Blackmon slid into the bag. Blackmon moved to third on D.J. LeMahieu’s groundout, and with Troy Tulowitzki at the plate, reliever Ryan Mattheus (1-2) bounced a wild pitch that catcher Tucker Barnhart couldn’t corral. Blackmon bolted home. PADRES 3, MARLINS 1: Matt Kemp, Yonder Alonso and Brett Wallace all homered to back seven strong innings from Andrew Cashner and lead San Diego to a victory over Miami. Wallace hit his first homer with San Diego leading off the fourth to tie the game at 1-all. Alonso and Kemp hit back-to-back homers in the fifth to make it 3-1. Cashner (4-10) allowed a first-inning RBI double by Justin Bour, then clamped down on the Marlins. Joaquin Benoit pitched the eighth and Craig Kimbrel got the final three outs, including retiring Ichiro Suzuki on a grounder for the final out with runners on first and second. It was Kimbrel’s 27th save in 28 chances. BREWERS 2, DIAMONDBACKS 1: Ryan Braun homered, Jimmy Nelson threw seven innings in one of his best starts of the season to win a pitching duel with Patrick Corbin, and Milwaukee beat Arizona. Nelson (8-9) allowed five hits and escaped a couple of early jams to improve his record to 5-1 over his last six starts. He struck out five and walked three, one intentionally. Corbin (1-3) went seven innings in his fifth and longest outing since his return in early June from Tommy John surgery. The left-hander allowed one run, matched his career high with 10 strikeouts, walked one and hit a batter. He blanked the Brewers on three hits before Braun homered on the first pitch of the sixth inning. Milwaukee’s second run scored on Brad Ziegler’s two-out wild pitch in the ninth. DODGERS 7, METS 2: Justin Turner homered and drove in three runs against his former club, emergency starter Ian Thomas hurled five effective innings, and Los Angeles beat New York. The Dodgers spoiled the major league debut of outfielder Michael Conforto, the Mets’ first-round draft pick last year who was promoted from Double-A Binghamton earlier in the day. Conforto drove in the Mets’ first run with an RBI groundout in the fifth inning. Thomas (1-1) allowed one run and three hits over five innings in his first major league start. The rookie left-hander pitched in place of All-Star Zack Greinke— who left the team Thursday morning for the birth of his first child. Mets starter Jonathan Niese (5-9) allowed six runs and eight hits — including home runs by Turner and Yasiel Puig — in three innings. INTERLEAGUE GIANTS 9, ATHLETICS 3: Hunter Pence had four hits and drove in two runs, Brandon Belt had three RBIs and San Francisco won its third straight, beating Oakland. Jake Peavy (2-4) pitched six strong innings to earn his second straight victory. Buster Posey extended his hitting streak to 10 games with three hits and drove in a run, and Joe Panik and Angel Pagan each also drove in runs for the Giants, who won their ninth in 10 games. Ben Zobrist hit a home run for the A’s, who lost their third in four games. Eric Sogard and Billy Burns, who left the game early with an injury, also drove in runs. Peavy allowed three runs on five hits in just his sixth start of the year. Jesse Chavez (5-10) went a season-low three innings, giving up four runs and eight hits.
Continued from Page 13 Tyler Moore drove in two for the Nationals and Ian Desmond homered for the second straight night, but Washington couldn’t rally on a night Scherzer looked ordinary. Kang singled with one out in the second for Pittsburgh’s first hit off Scherzer in 14 innings dating to last season, and Alvarez followed two pitches later with a home run that hit a concrete path outside the stadium 460 feet from home plate. The ball landed in the Allegheny River on the bounce, the first runs Pittsburgh managed against Scherzer in 20 innings. And not the last. Washington bounced back against Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke in the fourth behind Moore’s two-run double to take a 4-2 lead, but Pittsburgh responded. Pinch-hitter Jaff Decker worked a walk — just the second issued by Scherzer in his last seven starts — and Polanco put together a brilliant at-bat that showcased why the Pirates are so high on the talented but still developing 23-yearold. Polanco fell behind 0-2, worked the count full then fouled off a handful of Scherzer fastballs before drilling a curveball into the seats in right to tie the game at 4. “I just try to fight,” Polanco said. “Try to fight it off the hard pitches and try to stay with my approach and stay fighting in the at bat.” “He was just grinding me all the way through,” Scherzer said. “He did a great job of just fouling off the fastballs, keeping his swing short and when I came with the curveball he put a great swing on it.” Polanco was barely back in the dugout when Walker hit a homer to nearly the exact same spot. The three home runs given up by Scherzer were the most since Oakland hit three off of him on Sept. 15, 2011, when he was pitching for Detroit. “It’s really frustrating when you get that four-run inning and you’re not able to go out there and turn the ball over to the bullpen to close it down,” Scherzer said. “That’s the stuff I relish and want to do to help the team, pitch deep into a game and I wasn’t able to do that today.”
After the Pirates’ only meaningful contact against Scherzer in June came when he hit Tabata, manager Matt Williams anticipated the Pirates would adjust their approach. This time around, Pittsburgh’s hitters swung earlier to avoid falling behind in counts against Scherzer, where he’s often unhittable. “That’s the chance you take against somebody like Max,” Williams said. “If he’s not putting it where he wants to, you’ve got opportunities. They took advantage of those pitches today.” Desmond’s 10th homer of the season tied it in the top of the sixth, but Morel doubled home Francisco Cervelli and Polanco laced a sharp single up the middle off Solis in the bottom of the inning to put Pittsburgh in front to stay. The series continues today when Washington’s Gio Gonzalez (7-4, 3.93 ERA) faces A.J. Burnett. The Nationals are 6-0 in the last six games Gonzalez has started against the Pirates. Burnett (8-3, 2.44), an AllStar this season for the first time in his 17-year career, is 12-6 with a 3.23 ERA in 24 career appearances against Washington. The Pirates expect third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who was acquired from Milwaukee on Thursday. to be available NOTES: Pirates first baseman Corey Hart’s road back from knee issues and a shoulder impingement will be a long one. Manager Clint Hurdle said Friday that Hart, currently on the 60-day DL, will spend some time at home and have a lengthy rehab assignment next month before any decision is made on his availability during the stretch run. … Washington scratched first baseman Clint Robinson from the starting lineup shortly before game time due to an illness, but Robinson entered the game in the sixth during a double switch. ... Outfielder Jayson Werth and infielder Anthony Rendon could return to the team next week against Miami following lengthy stays on the disabled list. Manager Matt Williams said it was “reasonable” Werth’s left wrist and Rendon’s strained left quad may be ready to go by the middle of next week.
Cardinals trade for relief pitcher By The Associated Press The NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals bolstered their bullpen Friday, getting Steve Cishek in a trade with the Miami Marlins. The Cardinals sent DoubleA pitcher Kyle Barraclough to Miami for the sidearming Cishek. The deal came a week before baseball’s trading deadline. Cishek is 2-6 with three saves and a 4.50 ERA this year. The 29-year-old righty had trouble earlier this season and was sent down to Double-A, but had an 0.71 ERA in 13 games since returning to Miami in midJune. “He’s a guy that we never enjoyed facing,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before Friday night’s game against Atlanta. “We’re excited to have him and we think he can help us out right away. I’ve already talked to him. He’s excited. He’s a guy who wants to come right in and make an impact.” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said he had been looking to add a piece or two. “When you look at this club and how we’re put together right now, clearly there are things we can do to improve,” he said. “One of the places we felt like we could focus on was the bullpen. You look at what Steve brings and how he pitches, it just seemed like it could be the right balance for what we’re trying to do.” Cishek has recently been among the most durable relievers in the majors, pitching at least 67 games in each of the past three seasons. He had 39 saves for the Marlins last year and 34 in 2013. The Cardinals have the best
record in the majors. Miami is fourth in the NL East. • The New York Mets have acquired infielder Juan Uribe, infielder-outfielder Kelly Johnson and cash considerations from the Atlanta Braves for minor league pitchers John Gant and Rob Whalen. In corresponding roster moves, the Mets designated outfielder John Mayberry Jr. for assignment and optioned infielder Danny Muno to Triple-A Las Vegas. Third baseman David Wright, sidelined with a spinal condition, was also transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Before the game, the Mets promoted top prospect, outfielder Michael Conforto, from Double-A Binghamton, hoping to give their light-hitting lineup a boost. The Mets are last in the majors in batting average and second-tolast in runs scored. Uribe, acquired by the Braves on May 27 as part of a five-player deal with the Dodgers, is batting .272 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs while primarily playing third base. He was a key contributor to a pair of World Serieswinning teams, helping the Chicago White Sox in 2005 and San Francisco in 2010. Johnson is batting .275 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs while playing all over the diamond, logging innings at five different positions. The versatile Johnson will be returning to the New York area spending part of last season with the Yankees. Mayberry, signed in the offseason, mostly struggled as a right-handed bat off the bench. Mayberry, 31, is hitting .164 with three homers and nine RBIs in 59 games this season.

The Indiana Gazette
Teams ask for review Continued from Page 13 In the final minute of extra time in Sunday’s quarterfinal, Mexico was awarded a penalty kick with the game tied 0-0 and converted to beat Costa Rica. Then in Wednesday’s semifinals, Panama led 1-0 when it was called for a hand ball in the box. Mexico again converted in stoppage time, then went on to win in extra time. The person said Panama requested investigations into the referee committee and its procedures, the people who assign referees to games, all unspecified “suspicious matches,” and referee Mark Geiger. In a separate letter, Costa Rica made similar requests. It also requested that certain referees not be assigned to its matches in the future. CONCACAF said in a statement: “The confederation takes these claims extremely seriously and will look into them immediately.” Earlier Friday, the president of the Panamanian federation, Pedro Chaluja, told reporters that “we feel that that game was fixed.” “There are third parties with interests, and we know that it can’t be possible that the best-ranked referee in CONCACAF has such a poor and suspicious performance in a game,” he said. He also noted that “we know that there have been suspicious and strange things going on in several matches in this Cup.” On Thursday, the federation demanded the removal of CONCACAF’s referee selection panel after describing the officiating in the loss as “insulting and embarrassing.” The statement also accused the match officials of favoring Mexico “in a vulgar and shameless way.” Two Panama players — forward Luis Tejada and goalkeeper Jaime Penedo — were each suspended two games by CONCACAF on Friday. Penedo was disciplined for pushing the assistant referee after Wednesday’s match. Tejada received a red card, then was punished additionally for not leaving the field “in a timely manner.” The federation was also fined an undisclosed amount “for team misconduct both on and off the field.”
ON-TIME DELIVERY: Despite a reported threat he would sit out minicamp and perhaps training camp in search of a hefty raise, All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown didn’t miss a snap during spring drills and promised to be there when camp opens. Brown is only halfway through the six-year contract he signed in 2012, a deal that looks like one of the best bargains in the NFL after Brown led the league in receptions and yards receiving. WILLING WILLIAMS: Pittsburgh’s only real splurge in free agency came when former Carolina running back DeAngelo Williams was brought in to serve as the backup for Le’Veon Bell. With Bell set to miss the first three games as part of the discipline stemming from his arrest last August on drug and DUI charges, Williams will need to get up to speed quickly. The Panthers’ alltime leading rusher said repeatedly during organized team activities he is eager to prove his best days are not behind him. CAN JONES KEEP UP? Roethlisberger signed an extension in March that will keep him in black and gold for the rest of the decade. And with veteran Bruce Gradkowski seemingly entrenched as the

U.S. looks to build some momentum Continued from Page 13 For a coach in his position, the trick is to win enough in the short term to stick around to see the long-term results. “We want to continue the process toward 2018,” he said about the next World Cup. “This is Year One after the World Cup in Brazil, a year of rebuilding the pieces and bringing in young, new players, trying a lot of things out.” Klinsmann specifically defended two young players, center backs John Brooks and Ventura Alvarado. The 22year-olds have been shaky at times in the Gold Cup, and they were unable to prevent Jamaica’s Darren Mattocks from heading in the first goal of Wednesday’s 2-1 loss on a throw-in. “They have to go through these pains,” Klinsmann said, adding, “We’re going to do a step back here and there.” He noted Brooks and Alvarado had made for a winning pairing in their brief tenure together before the semifinal defeat, including breakthrough victories in June exhibitions against world champion Germany and the Netherlands, another European power.
“Enormous, enormous talent” is how he described the two. “We’re going to keep on developing young players, keep looking into the future,” Klinsmann said. “Two, three years down the road — what does this team look like? ... You have to keep developing a team that you have in mind toward 2018 that’s hopefully better than you did in Brazil.” Panama, reeling from the chaotic finish to its semifinal loss to Mexico, will be without five players because of suspension or injury. On the verge of victory Wednesday, the Panamanians, playing with 10 men, were called for a disputed hand ball. Mexico tied the game on the penalty kick and went on to win 2-1 after another penalty in extra time. Midfielders Valentin Pimentel and Gabriel Gomez and forward Blas Perez are hurt, while forward Luis Tejada and goalkeeper Jaime Penedo were each suspended two games by CONCACAF on Friday. Penedo was disciplined for pushing the assistant referee after Wednesday’s match. Tejada received a red card, then was punished additional-

No. 2, Landry Jones finds his career at a crossroads as he enters his third camp. There are depth concerns in other areas (namely the secondary), meaning the Steelers might not want to carry a third quarterback heading into the season. Jones needs to provide a compelling argument to stick around. RESTORING ALLEN: Pittsburgh showed its faith in cornerback Cortez Allen on the eve of the 2014 opener, awarding him with a fiveyear contract that paid more
than $5 million annually. Yet rather than flourish with his future assured, Allen floundered. He lost his starting job midway through the year before a broken thumb sent him to injured reserve. Allen appeared refreshed during OTAs, but the real proof if his confidence has returned won’t come until he’s standing across the line of scrimmage from an opposing receiver. If he falters, rookies Senquez Golson and Doran Grant will be given every a chance to step in.

ly for not leaving the field “in a timely manner.” Panama’s federation also was fined an undisclosed amount. In the Panamanians’ latest criticism of CONCACAF, the federation’s president, Pedro Chaluja, told reporters earlier Friday that “we feel that that game was fixed.” “There are third parties with interests, and we know that it can’t be possible that the best-ranked referee in CONCACAF has such a poor and suspicious performance in a game,” he said. Coach Hernan Gomez said Chaluja’s reaction was “human nature” but wouldn’t add to the criticism, saying “rules are rules.” CONCACAF confirmed Friday it would review requests from Panama and Costa Rica — which lost to Mexico on a disputed call in the quarterfinals. Gomez initially said that six players were at risk of missing World Cup qualifiers because of yellow card accumulation, but CONCACAF officials said yellow cards in the Gold Cup wouldn’t affect qualifying.

Pitt receiver enters ARD program PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh wide receiver Tyler Boyd entered a first-time offenders program Friday following his arrest for driving under the influence last month. Allegheny County Common Pleas judge Robert Gallo also ordered Boyd’s driver’s license suspended for 90 days and required Boyd to complete a safe driving program. Boyd can ask Gallo to expunge the DUI charge against him if Boyd successfully completes the programs and pays court costs. Boyd, an All-ACC first-team selection in 2014, was pulled over in the early hours of June 12 in Jefferson Hills, about 30 minutes south of Pittsburgh. Boyd told police he had two shots of alcohol. Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi suspended Boyd from team activities for a month. Boyd, who is from Clairton, rejoined the Panthers last week.

Capitals lock up goalie for five years ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — The Washington Capitals have signed goaltender Braden Holtby to a $30.5-million, fiveyear contract. The deal Friday avoids a ruling by an arbitrator. Holtby was a restricted free agent, and he and the Capitals had an arbitration hearing a day earlier. Holtby had a career season with 41 victories, a 2.22 goalsagainst average, .923 save percentage and nine shutouts in 73 games. He is the third goaltender to reach 100 wins with the Capitals, joining Olie Kolzig and Don Beaupre. Holtby’s contract will count $6.1 million against the salary cap over the next five seasons. Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said in a statement that the 25-year Holtby is “just entering his prime” and already has “established himself as one of the best goaltenders in the history of our franchise.”
Olympian throws first pitch, gets ring CHICAGO (AP) — Olympic champion gymnast Shawn Johnson threw out a ceremonial first ball at Wrigley Field — and wound up with quite a catch. Johnson was walking off the field Friday before the Chicago Cubs hosted Philadelphia when she was surprised by longtime boyfriend Andrew East, a rookie long snapper for the Kansas City Chiefs. East dropped to one knee near home plate and presented the 2008 gold medalist with a diamond engagement ring. A stunned Johnson put her hands over her mouth, bobbed her head up and down, then jumped into his arms. Later, she put her feelings onto her Twitter feed. “Today the love of my life asked me to be his forever.AND I SAID YES!” she posted. The 23-year-old Johnson won the balance beam title at the Beijing Olympics. The next year, she won the title on ABC-TV’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
Nibali takes 19th stage of Tour LA TOUSSUIRE, France (AP) — Vincenzo Nibali won an exhausting Alpine stage of punishing ascents and steep descents Friday to rescue the otherwise disappointing defense of his Tour de France title. Behind the Stage 19 winner at the La Toussuire ski station, Nairo Quintana launched his most sustained and telling attack against race leader Chris Froome, and this time got the better of the 2013 champion. Showing for the first time at this Tour that he’s not untouchable, Froome couldn’t stay with the Colombian, his closest rival, on the long final climb and saw his overall race lead shrink. Froome’s lead of 2 minutes, 38 seconds over Quintana, down from 3:10 at the start, should be enough to get the British rider through the last competitive day in the Alps on Saturday. Still, he cannot afford a bad day. Nibali rode away from Froome when the Team Sky leader was having a problem with his chain on the stage’s toughest climb. Froome pulled up by the side of the road to deal with the mechanical issue. When he looked back up, Nibali had ridden away.
FIFA struggling to find sponsors ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — FIFA said the corruption crisis is hindering the search for new sponsors. FIFA sponsors Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Visa have questioned the organization’s handling of the allegations of wrongdoing that led to soccer officials being indicted in the United States. Ahead of today’s qualifying draw for the 2018 World Cup, FIFA has not replaced Emirates airline and Sony since they opted not to renew deals after the 2014 tournament. FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke says “the current situation doesn’t help to finalize any new agreements — that is a fact. And I’m sure until the (presidential) election on Feb. 26 there will not be any major announcements.” He also says the governing body will gather concerned sponsors at a summit next month.
NCAA charges USM with violations UNDATED (AP) — The NCAA has outlined serious violations committed at Southern Mississippi, finding multiple violations in the men’s basketball program during former coach Donnie Tyndall’s tenure. The charges, which include arranging fraudulent academic credit, impermissible financial aid and obstructing the governing body’s investigation, were outlined in a notice of allegations released by the university on Friday. There were seven alleged Level I violations — which are judged the most serious by the NCAA — in the 43-page notice. Though things could be worse. The NCAA notably did not include the dreaded lack of institutional control charge, instead placing most of the blame on Tyndall and his staff. Tyndall went 56-17 at Southern Miss, advancing to the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament in both of his seasons. The school has 90 days to respond to the NCAA’s notice.

AZAHARA MUNOZ hit from the eighth fairway during the second round of the Meijer LPGA Classic on Friday.
Campbell takes two-stroke lead By The Associated Press Chad Campbell shot a 9under 63 on Friday in the Canadian Open to take a two-stroke lead over Brian Harman. Campbell birdied all four par 5s at Glen Abbey in his bogey-free round to reach 14-under 130. The 41-yearold Texan was a stroke off the course record of 62 set by Greg Norman in 1986 and matched by John Merrick in 2013. Campbell won the last of his four PGA Tour titles in 2007. Harman followed his opening 65 with a 67. Canada’s David Hearn was tied for third at 11 under after a 64. Hearn is trying to become the first Canadian to win the event since Pat Fletcher, born in England, in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver. Carl Keffer is the only Canadianborn champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Johnson Wagner also was 11 under after a 66. Jason Day, coming off a tie for fourth Monday in the British Open, was another stroke back after a 66. Bubba Watson, two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton and Eric Axley were 9 under. Watson had a 67, Compton shot 69, and Axley 68. Former Georgia Tech player Ollie Schniederjans made the cut in his pro debut, shooting 71-69 to move into a tie for 44th at 4 under.
Christine Wolf followed at 70. England’s Laura Davies, recently inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, topped the group at 71. U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR: Andrew Orischak won three matches in the weather-delayed U.S. Junior Amateur to reach the 36-hole final. Orischak, 16, from nearby Hilton Head Island, will face Philip Barbaree, 17, of Shreveport, La., or 16-yearold Won Jun Lee of South Korea today. Barbaree and Lee were all square through 17 holes when their semifinal match was suspended because of darkness. U.S. GIRLS’ JUNIOR: Longhitting Angel Yin and Eun Jeong Seong advanced to the U.S. Girls’ Junior final, each winning two matches at Tulsa Country Club. Yin, 16, from Arcadia, Calif., won the last four holes to beat Andrea Lee.

PGA EUROPEAN: England’s Danny Willett shot an 8under 62 to take a one-stroke lead in the suspended second round of the European Masters. Willett, coming off a tie for sixth Monday in the British Open last week, had a 13under 127 total. South Korea’s Y.E. Yang and Seukhyun Baek were tied for second after shooting 63. LPGA EUROPEAN: Lydia Ko and Suzann Pettersen shared the first-round lead at 4under 68 in the Ladies Scottish Open.

LPGA: Lexi Thompson birdied six of the first eight holes and finished with a season-best 7-under 64 for a share of the Meijer LPGA Classic lead with Alison Lee and Lizette Salas. Thompson ,20, matched Lee and Salas at 9-under 133 at Blythefield Country Club. Lee, 20, former UCLA player in her first season on the tour, had a 66, and playing partner Salas, a former Southern California star, shot a 69. Lee birdied six of her first 10 holes. SENIOR BRITISH OPEN: Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie had a share of the Senior British Open lead when play was suspended for the day because of heavy rain. Montomerie was 5 under through 12 holes when play was stopped on Sunningdale’s Old Course. He won the Senior PGA Championship this season for his third senior major title in two years.
any cars that are further back than that I can’t see,” Joey Logano said. “That isn’t the end of the world. If they’re five car lengths back, you’re probably not too worried about it anyway. When they get close is when you want to see it, but it is nice sometimes because we don’t know. We’ll see with this whole drafting package down the straightaway when that run is going to start.” Hamlin said he’d have preferred a clear wicker, but was surprised at how much he was able to see. But that wasn’t even Hamlin’s biggest issue Friday. His vision out the front windshield was severely hampered during practice when his hood flew open. The mishap apparently occurred because his team failed to tighten the hood pins before the second practice. When the hood flew up, it smashed his windshield. “The speeds that we’re going, when that hood comes up, it just disintegrates and blows,” Hamlin said. “The good thing is (it) didn’t all stay together. The hood blew apart so much I had a gap there I could see.”

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Junior Seau’s daughter will be commenting only on a video when her late father enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 8. Citing previous policies on posthumous inductions, the Hall is limiting Sydney Seau’s comments to a video presentation about the former linebacker who killed himself in 2012. Seau is one of seven men being inducted this year. In a statement from Hall executive vice president Joe Horrigan, a 2010 policy was referenced Friday. “The policy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame since 2010 regarding individuals enshrined posthumously provides for an expanded presenting video (longer than the videos of living inductees) followed by the traditional unveiling of the bronzed bust and no additional comments made from the podium,” Horrigan said. The 2011 induction used such a format when former Los Angeles Rams star Les Richter was inducted posthumously. In a New York Times story Friday, Sydney Seau said: “It’s frustrating because the induction is for my father and for the other players, but then to not be able to speak, it’s painful. I just want to give the speech he would have given.”
Continued from Page 13 With drivers feeling as if they had to back off whenever they closed in on another car, it’s not clear if those statistics will be improved Sunday. Carl Edwards said, “I couldn’t get closer than 15 car lengths” to another car before he had to back off. But Jamie McMurray, winner of the 2010 Brickyard, said it’s too early to judge the package. “We haven’t had a restart, and to me, the restart is where this package is going to play a bigger role than in practice,” McMurray said. “The thing with practice is that as you start to catch the car in front of you, typically their car is not very good. So, when you see somebody catching you fairly quick, you pull in so you can work on it and get your car better.” Part of the high-drag aero package includes a 9-inch spoiler with a 1-inch wicker bill. Although part of the spoiler is clear and gives drivers a gap, most seemed to think it wasn’t big enough to see through from the rearview mirror. “I think I can see about five car lengths behind me, and

ANTZ MARCHING will be performing tonight at The Brown Hotel in Indiana. Supporting act Melville Walbeck starts at 9 p.m.
Band mimics intricacies of DMB By CALEB MURPHY news@indianagazette.net
Vidhu â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veeâ&#x20AC;? Sharma seeks out the hard stuff in music, the tough tasks. He said he formed Antz Marching, a Dave Matthews tribute band, in order to tackle the difficult fingering of Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guitar-playing style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the Dave stuff, he kind of plays a lead-rhythm,â&#x20AC;? said Sharma, lead singer and guitar player. This is not an isolated example of his instinct to improve himself. He reaches for things outside of his comfort zone, things unfamiliar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely look for new challenges with music (and basically everything I do in life),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It keeps things much more interesting.â&#x20AC;?
The band members will put their tested musicianship and DMB-mimicking skills on display at The Brown Hotel tonight starting at 9 p.m., with supporting act Melville Walbeck. Supporting Sharmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Matthews Band impersonations in Antz Marching are Heather Pinson, violin and vocals; Joshua George, saxophone, flute and vocals; Ray Fortuna, drums and vocals; Chris Way, electric guitar; and Will Seifried, bass and vocals. They have all the aspects to make you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching the real DMB. Sharma didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start with listening to Dave Matthews, though. He said the reason he started playing guitar was because of Slash, former lead guitarist of the rock band
Guns Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses. He said he began his musical montage with other artists like Led Zeppelin and Rush, and now has added others like Ed Sheeran. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll flip on the AM radio now and then to catch a bit of jazz or instrumental music, opening his arms to many different genres. He welcomes the next stage when it comes, like the numerous bands heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a part of. He started an original alternative rock band called Calamity James and said it had its own set of difficulties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Calamity James, the real challenge was writing original songs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were each responsible with coming up with our various parts and that was a real challenge. It took a lot of time and energy to put everything
together, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of what gives you that sense of accomplishment.â&#x20AC;? He was in a duo and then a funk band. However, the funk group fizzled out after about three shows, Sharma said, because the bassist got discouraged for lack of satisfying turnouts. From that band, Sharma moved on and started Antz Marching, but Sharma said it took some time for this band to brew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a long time to get together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good two years before I could find everybody ... for about a year into it, I was getting a little discouraged.â&#x20AC;? Eventually, he found the right people to complete this group, and now Antz Marching is still, well, marching.
Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I Am Caitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to debut Sunday By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next step in the biggest celebrity story of the year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the long-awaited debut of Caitlyn Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s docuseries charting her new life as a transgender woman. Fittingly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am Caitâ&#x20AC;? (premiering Sunday at 8 p.m. on E!) opens with the former Bruce Jenner, her ample tresses in huge rollers, at home getting hair-andmakeup treatment as she beholds a giant blowup of her bombshell Vanity Fair cover that followed her April interview with Diane Sawyer. Yes, Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transition from Bruce to Caitlyn has been a highly orchestrated spectacle, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am Caitâ&#x20AC;? the latest phase of the campaign. And, typical of celebreality shows, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a scene in this first of eight episodes that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem stage-managed to push the starry Ăźber-narrative along. Even so, there is something more substantial going on here. A gratifying measure of authenticity manages to bypass the celebrity trappings. Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and two sisters help. Delivered to Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seaside California compound for their first encounter with her as a woman, they seem refreshingly like regular folks who are genuinely focused on a family member they love and support, never mind all the lights and cameras there to capture every moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be so difficult for me to think of you as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;she,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Caitlynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when I want to speak with you,â&#x20AC;? her mother says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take some getting used to, but I want to do what you want.â&#x20AC;? At the other end of the authenticity scale are stepdaughter Kim Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West. They are seen in a cameo appearance that plays as unintended comic relief, with Kardashian never doffing her floor-length coat (she blames her modesty on her pregnancy, yet it smacks more of, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show my body except for my own projectsâ&#x20AC;?) and with West explaining that his
CAITLYN JENNER ... the former Bruce Jenner shoelaces are untied because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unnecessary since his shoes are really slippers (â&#x20AC;&#x153;the laces are sort of after the factâ&#x20AC;?). Kardashian takes the time to survey Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closet full of new womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions. Then she and West make their hasty exit. Such interludes undercut the dignity of Jennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges, and make what she is going through arguably less relatable to an audience that needs to relate. On the other hand, fame claims attention, and the celebrity machine for Caitlyn Jenner, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am Cait,â&#x20AC;? has been impossible to miss. With â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cait,â&#x20AC;? she will have a weekly pulpit and a guaranteed flock to whom she knows how to deliver her message loud and clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tremendous amount

of support that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten has been overwhelming, but you also have to realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not this way for everybody,â&#x20AC;? she takes pains to point out. More than once, she cites the lack of support from family, friends and outsiders experienced by far too many in the trans community, as well as the high murder rate and many suicides. Jenner says she relates: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some very dark moments in my life. I have been in my house with a gun and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just end it right here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are dying over this issue,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel a tremendous responsibility here, because I have a voice, and there are so many trans people out there who do not have a voice.â&#x20AC;? At the hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, Jenner heads to San Diego (switch-

VIENNA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Imagine this. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strapped to the outside of a flying jetliner, thousands of feet above ground and rapidly rising. What would be going through your head? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about the lighting, the angle, howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the shot,â&#x20AC;? says Tom Cruise on his latest hairraising stunt in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission: Impossible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rogue Nation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, you want to live through it.â&#x20AC;? In Vienna on Thursday for the world premiere of their film, Cruise and other leads in the cast talked to The Associated Press about its making â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how they already miss the months of hard work that went into the fifth in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission: Impossibleâ&#x20AC;? series. With part of the film playing in the Austrian capital, the choice of Vienna made sense. One of the most suspenseful episodes takes the audience to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ornate opera house where Cruise, as Ethan Hunt, plays a deadly game of hide-and-go seek with members of The Syndicate, a dark force bent on destroying the earth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, killing Austriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chancellor. One of the shots fired at the Austrian politician before his car is blown up is by Ilsa Faust. Played by Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson, she appears by turns to be a baddie, then Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ally. It all turns out well in the end, both in the film and for Ferguson, who says she has grown through the experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a ride, when it comes to challenging yourself, physically working alongside Tom Cruise,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ferguson, who trained intensely for weeks for the physicality she displayed in the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fighting scenes, called the experience â&#x20AC;&#x153;exhausting, exhilarating and ... intoxicating.â&#x20AC;? Ditto for the regulars. Simon Pegg as Hunt sidekick Benji Dunn, has seen
TOM CRUISE ... action actor his share of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission: Impossibleâ&#x20AC;? sequels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and wants more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I relish,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mission Impossible,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be doing anything else.â&#x20AC;? He tipped his hat to director and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie when asked how the improbable becomes believable in the film. McQuarrie said Pegg was â&#x20AC;&#x153;able to really invest the script with a sense of impossibility and adventure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but also with character and things that made the characters more relatable and more real. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter how spectacular the action is, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the people involved in the action, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meaningless.â&#x20AC;? But ultimately, the latest â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission: Impossibleâ&#x20AC;? is about the action â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like all others before it. Wearing contact lenses to protect his eyes from specks of debris, Cruise hangs on the Airbus, scrapes his knee on the asphalt in a breathtaking motorcycle chase and holds his breath for a full six minutes under water as he battles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; (spoiler alert!) and ultimately destroys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Syndicate. He smiles when asked if he is close to the limit with his ever-more daring stunts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done that, pushing myself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about the audience and what can I do to entertain the audience.â&#x20AC;?

Etiquette pros break down dinner spat By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press
NEW YORK — What went down at Marcy’s Diner in Portland, Maine, between the vacationing parents of an antsy toddler and the annoyed, profanity-prone restaurant owner is a case of she said-she said. The pancakes took a long time. It was raining. An invitation to leave was extended, albeit not terribly politely. Words were exchanged both in the moment and later more vehemently on Facebook. There was the inevitable social media storm after word of the July 18 showdown surfaced, including more than 6,000 comments both yay and nay for the family on The Washington Post’s website after Tara Carson, mom of the 21-month-old, put out her side of the story Wednesday. So where does restaurant etiquette stand today when young children act up, even in a seemingly family-friendly environment such as Marcy’s? We break it down with a trio of experts:
IS IT WORTH DINING OUT WITH TOTS? “In general, parents definitely should be bringing their kids to family-friendly restaurants to get them used to the experience of dining out. But you do have a responsibility to the people around you. If your child is crying and screaming at length, it’s probably time to pay the bill and go,” said the Emily Post Institute’s Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily and co-host of the Awesome Etiquette podcast on American Public Media. Elena Brouwer, an etiquette consultant for upscale restaurants and fancy hotels, based in Hollywood, Fla., said very young children shouldn’t be anywhere near pricey places, especially at night. “People are going to spend hundreds of dollars on dinner and stay there for three hours,” she said. “Bringing kids in at 8 or 9 when they’re tired or cranky, does happen. A lot of parents just don’t care.” April Masini, a New York relationship and etiquette expert who writes a col-
umn called Ask April, said parents should consider limiting restaurant forays with small children to fast-food restaurants. “The operative word is fast,” she said.
DID THE CARSONS FORGET THE CHEERIOS? “Where was the coloring book? And everybody criticizes it but where was the iPhone? When you recognize that your child is in that kind of a moment, where anything you do to alleviate the situation or get their attention doesn’t work, then it is time to leave the restaurant,” said Post, who lives in Burlington, Vt. (Carson did not respond to email and telephone messages for comment.) The bottom line, Brouwer said, is “nothing is going to help if a child doesn’t want to be there.” Before things get out of a control, it would also serve everybody to comp the meal of the frazzled parents to hurry them out the door, she said. “Children who cry in public places, at length (more than five minutes), need to be taken outside by a responsible and understanding parent. When kids aren’t socialized, parents have failed,” Masini said.
HAVE TODAY’S PARENTS LOST CONTROL? “Ask anyone in Brooklyn. Brunch is definitely now populated by strollers. It’s a desire of people to still want to enjoy the things that they enjoy and enjoy them with their kids, rather than feeling like they can’t go out because they have kids,” Post said. “I think we say every generation feels entitled. It’s one of those things where we always look to the next generation and tell them they’re terrible.” Brouwer does consider many in this generation of parents on the selfish side. “They don’t take the time to teach the children or don’t care what the consequences are for poor behavior in public,” she said. Masini said parents have more complicated lives today and that trickles down to their relationships with their children. “And then there are the times when parents are simply busy on their own
cellphones at the same meal tables where kids are misbehaving, which is a karmic vision in and of itself,” she added.
WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS THIS? “You have to let the parents deal with the child. First the restaurant person should ask, ‘Is there anything we can do to help?’ That might just let the parents know they’re at least trying to be nice,” Post said. “If your toddler is still not at the point where they can sit down for 10 or 15 minutes for kids under 4, then you need to think about that. Some kids aren’t ready yet to sit down for 45 minutes to an hour at a restaurant. Find a place that’s more grab and go.” Brouwer added: “Children are children. People are not born with good manners. They have to be taught. Are they taught at home, ‘This is the way you behave at the table’? That’s where it needs to begin.” On the restaurant side, it behooves everybody to get food to a waiting child right away, she said. Masini said the logical first step for a restaurant owner or manager is to ask the parents of a child over the behavior line to step outside. “When the restaurant owner does not do that, the problem festers, tempers flare and the social media war that ensues is a derivative problem,” she said.

BUT IT WAS RAINING “You know what, rain happens. Go take your kid someplace where you can sit under an awning for a minute,” Post said. Brouwer said there’s no weather rule when a child is screaming. “I don’t think it was legitimate to stay when this child was screaming. I don’t care if it’s raining out. Take your child out of that situation.” Generally speaking, Masini said, parenting through restaurant situations may have more to do with broader issues. “When a child finger paints the table with ketchup, you’re not looking at a genius toddler’s baby Rorschach blot art,” she said. “You’re looking at a child in need of boundaries and socialization.”

WWE severs ties with Hogan over racial slurs By The Associated Press STAMFORD, Conn. — World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. has severed ties with Hulk Hogan amid a report that one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history used racial slurs in a conversation caught on a sex tape. The company deleted most references to Hogan on its website and issued a statement Friday saying it had terminated its contract with him. WWE did not give a reason, but issued a statement saying it is “committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.” On Friday, a joint report from RadarOnline.com and The National Enquirer said that Hogan had used racial slurs in a conversation caught on a sex video that is the subject of an invasion of privacy lawsuit. In a statement, Hogan, 61, apologized for using “offensive language” in a conversation eight years ago. “It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it, and I apologize for having done it,” Hogan said, calling his departure from a WWE a resignation. His attorneys did not return messages left by The Associated Press. Hogan, perhaps the biggest star in WWE’s fivedecade history, was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years in its signature event, facing everyone from Andre The
PEOPLE Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even company chairman Vince McMahon. He won six WWE championships and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Sylvester Stallone. Hogan is seeking $100 million from the website Gawker for posting part of the sex tape of him with Heather Cole, the ex-wife of Hogan’s one-time friend and radio show host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem. ❏❏❏ MANILA, Philippines — Chris Brown finally left the Philippines and performed at a night club in Macau, but not without last-minute complications at the end of a three-day ordeal. The 26-year-old R&B artist sang at a packed concert in Manila on Tuesday, then wasn’t able to leave because a fraud complaint was filed against him and a promoter for a canceled concert last New Year’s Eve. In a series of social media postings during the delay, most of them since deleted, he said, “I’ve done nothing wrong,” expressed frustration over being stranded and pleaded to be allowed to leave. Late Friday afternoon, Brown was able to obtain a departure clearance from the Immigration Bureau. Before boarding his private jet, he invited Filipinos to join him in a party in Macau. “Manila, it was fun. I love y’all, man. If you can come to Macau, party tonight!
Turn up,” he said in a video posted on Instagram. But once the group boarded, a three-hour wait followed because of a flight plan discrepancy. They took off at 9:04 p.m. for Hong Kong, the Philippines’ Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Eric Apolonio said. He said that Brown’s original approved flight plan had Hong Kong as its destination and wasn’t revised for unclear reasons. During the delay, Brown missed a concert in Hong Kong that has not yet been rescheduled. ❏❏❏ NEW YORK — New York City police have launched an investigation after hiphop heavyweight Grandmaster Flash’s car was given away at a Manhattan parking garage. A New York Police Department spokesman said Friday that the incident happened July 16 around 7:30 p.m. Police say Grandmaster Flash, whose real name is Joseph Saddler, parked his 2014 Dodge Charger in the garage in Chelsea. When he returned more than an hour later, the attendant told him he had given the car away to someone else. Police say the attendant said he “made a mistake,” thinking the person he turned to car over to was Grandmaster Flash. Detectives are investigating the incident as grand larceny. The car has not been found. A man who answered the phone at the parking garage Friday night declined to comment.
YouTube makes virtual reality push with 360-degree 3-D By RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer
ANAHEIM, Calif. — YouTube says it’s making a further push into virtual reality, promising to add 3-D support for videos that play back in its 360-degree format. Thursday’s announcement came a day after the debut of the first online 360degree ad, a commercial for Bud Light. Right now, viewers using the mobile YouTube app or Google’s Chrome browser can pan around in any direction in the 360-degree videos. They’re shot using special camera rigs that
look in many directions, and software stitches together all the video. Support for 3-D means wearers of headsets like Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard can see images in three dimensions as they swivel around to change their view. YouTube also said it would provide special camera rigs that support the format at its studios around the world, including at two locations opening in the next year in Toronto and Mumbai. YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki announced the push during VidCon, an annual convention for fans and cre-
ators of online video at the Anaheim Convention Center. “We’ve seen big-name artists like Avicii and Björk do some breakthrough things with 3-D video, but we want to empower all of you to chart this new frontier,” she said. Wojcicki also announced a redesign of YouTube’s mobile app that allows fans to be notified when creators they follow post new videos.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press Today is Saturday, July 25, the 206th day of 2015. There are 159 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan drew boos from some spectators at the Newport Folk Festival as he performed with a rock band. (The cause of the negative reaction is in dispute, with some citing Dylan’s use of an electric guitar, others blaming poor audio quality and still others complaining about the shortness of Dylan’s set.) On this date: In 1554, Queen Mary I of England married Philip II, future King of Spain. In 1814, the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, one of the bloodiest battles of the War of 1812, took place in present-day Niagara Falls, Ontario, with no clear victor. In 1909, French aviator Louis Bleriot became the first person to fly an airplane across the English Channel, traveling from Calais to Dover in 37 minutes. In 1918, the musical revue “The Passing Show of 1918” opened on Broadway, featuring a cast that included Fred Astaire and his sister, Adele, and the song “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.” In 1934, Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss was assassinated by pro-Nazi Austrians in a failed coup attempt. In 1943, Benito Mussolini was dismissed as premier of Italy by King Victor Emmanuel III, and placed under arrest. (However, Mussolini was later rescued by the Nazis, and reasserted his authority.) In 1952, Puerto Rico became a self-governing commonwealth of the United States. In 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria collided with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm off the New England coast late at night and began sinking; at least 51
the

people were killed. In 1975, the musical “A Chorus Line” opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre, beginning a run of 6,137 performances. In 1985, a spokeswoman for Rock Hudson confirmed that the actor, hospitalized in Paris, was suffering from AIDS. (Hudson died in October 1985.) In 1994, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Jordan’s King Hussein signed a declaration at the White House ending their countries’ 46-year-old formal state of war. In 2000, a New York-bound Air France Concorde crashed outside Paris shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four people on the ground; it was the firstever crash of the supersonic jet. Ten years ago: The AFLCIO splintered as the Service Employees International Union and the Teamsters announced they were leaving the labor federation. Cpl. Dustin Berg, an Indiana National Guard soldier, pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in the death of an Iraqi police officer (Berg was later sentenced to 18 months in military prison). Four adult Boy Scout leaders were killed in an electrical accident while setting up camp for the organization’s Jamboree in Bowling Green, Va. Five years ago: The online whistleblower WikiLeaks posted some 90,000 leaked U.S. military records that amounted to a blow-by-blow account of the Afghanistan war, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings as well as covert operations against Taliban figures. Alberto Contador won the Tour de France for the third time in four years. Erich Steidtmann, a former Nazi SS officer suspected of involvement in World War II massacres but never convicted, died in Hannover, Germany,

at age 95. One year ago: President Barack Obama met at the White House with the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador; afterward, he urged the leaders and congressional Republicans to help ease the influx of minors and migrant families crossing the southwestern border of the Unite States. Bel Kaufman, author of the 1965 best-selling novel “Up the Down Staircase,” died in New York at age 103. Manny Roth, 94, a colorful club owner in New York’s Greenwich Village, whose Cafe Wha? and its basement-level stage was a rite of passage in the 1960s for Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen and many others, died in Ojai, Calif.

Wife fears husband’s health puts her future in jeopardy DEAR ABBY: I am the 24/7 caregiver for my husband, “Earl.” We were both widowed when we married nine years ago. His daughter, “Mindy,” hasn’t talked to her father for six years — hasn’t called, emailed or even sent a birthday card. If he tried calling her, she Dear Abby is wouldn’t written by pick up. Abigail Van Recently, Buren, also Earl had a known as serious Jeanne health Phillips, and problem was founded by her mother, resulting in a Pauline colostomy Phillips. bag. I take care of everything. When he called to tell Mindy, her husband answered the phone and said she wasn’t home. When my husband told him about his health, the son-in-law said OK — nothing more. Then Earl invited the whole family to come here. Again, the
DEAR ABBY
response was, “I don’t know.” After Earl hung up, I said, “I think it’s time Mindy came here to take care of you.” (Six years ago she told my husband, “Dad, if you die first, I’ll get that woman out of the house in three days!”) Abby, must I wait for this to happen or should I just pack my stuff and move out, leaving a vulnerable 88year-old man alone? Mindy will put him in a nursing home and sell the house to pay off her credit card debt — some of it, because the house isn’t worth much money. Earl says, “Don’t leave me, I need you!” Well, what about me? Where is my life and my security? I’m getting older. If he lives another 10 years, it will take a toll on my health, and I’ll be moving? Should I seek compensation for my caregiving? I pay all my own expenses. I don’t pay rent. That was the main concern from his relatives when we got married. I was a widow and had a job and a condo, which I sold. I put the money in the bank and used cash to pay for a new car, a computer, a wheelchair for my husband, etc. Don’t I have to plan for my future in my old age? Or
should I leave it up to God and hope he takes me before my husband? I need your advice. — WORRIED WIFE IN FLORIDA DEAR WORRIED WIFE: You’re right to be concerned about your future. That’s why, before making any decisions, it is important you consult a lawyer and learn what your rights are as a wife in the state of Florida. You should not have to worry about being thrown out into the street because Earl’s daughter has money problems and is looking to cash in. If you love your husband, your place is beside him for as long as the good Lord allows. DEAR ABBY: I am 16. I came home from a date and my mom is flipping out over my hickies. I think this is stupid. These are my first ones, and my parents are making a big deal about it. What do you think? — MARKED IN NEWARK, DEL. DEAR MARKED: I think it’s time you had a talk with your parents about why they reacted the way they did, so they can explain it to you. Your hickies aren’t what upset them. They are worried about you because they are afraid of what the hickies may lead to — if they haven’t already.

The purpose of the project is to improve system integrity, reliability, and safety of the TP-371 pipeline by replacing the standing 12-inch diameter pipeline (Existing Segment), which was installed in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prior to the Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (DOT) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (PHMSA) implementation of minimum federal safety standards for pipelines. The Replacement Segment will be 20-inch diameter pipeline and will have coating that will be in full compliance with PHMSA standards. Consistent with Equitransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; design standard, the Replacement Segment has been designed to meet Class III specifications to avoid the need for future replacements. The replacement of the Existing Segment, along with the installation of a 20-inch pig launcher/receiver facility, and the abandonment and/or replacement of ancillary facilities will provide Equitrans with the ability to perform a singleline inspection for the entirety of the TP-371 Pipeline.

Landowners in Armstrong and Indiana Counties, Pennsylvania, may be contacted by an Equitrans representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. Equitrans would prefer to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the Project is approved by the FERC, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, Equitrans could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state or federal law.

Aiming to maximize the availability of service on the Existing Segment and minimize the impacts to landowners and the environment during construction, the Replacement Segment will be located approximately 10-15 feet from the Existing Segment. Primarily, the Project will consist of extended right-of-way (ROW) construction; deviations from the existing ROW are required in areas where lying beside the Existing Segment is not feasible due to topography, space, and safety concerns. Three cathodic protection ground beds and five mainline valves will be installed as part of the Project. Additionally, six natural gas meters will be transferred from the Existing Segment to the Replacement Segment via pipeline taps to maintain service to customers. When the new Replacement Segment is placed into service, the Existing Segment will be abandoned in place.
Affected landowners and governmental entities will receive by mail from Equitrans a copy of the FERCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice of application, specifically stating the date by which timely motions to intervene are due, together with the FERCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information sheet on how to intervene in FERC proceedings.

WILLYOU CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVES? A.J. Kitt, an Alpine skier who won one World Cup downhill race, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no control over what the other guy does. You only have control over what you do.â&#x20AC;? That has been the theme of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deals. One defender has the chance to control what happens. In this last example, how should East-West card to defeat three hearts by South after West leads the spade ace?

certainly look like a six-carder. And three clubs is short on appeal with such a poor suit. North was right to rebid three, not four, hearts. South was a passed hand and rated to have only a five-card suit because he had not opened with a weak two-bid. West leads the spade ace: five, nine, seven. How should West continue? The defenders need five tricks. Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spade nine must be from a singleton or a doubleton. If so, West can cash three spade winners and have the heart ace in the background. But where is the fifth trick? East is unlikely to have a club winner. Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best hope for success is gaining a diamond ruff. At trick two (or three), West should shift to his diamond. Declarer will probably win in his hand and lead a low heart, but West rushes in with the ace, cashes the spade king (if he led his diamond at trick two), then leads the spade 10 (or jack). East will ruff the trick and return a diamond. Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruff is the fifth defensive trick. COPYRIGHT: 2015, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
