Verizon, unions reach deal in principle for 4-year contract By TALI ARBEL
to step in but there were still delays in installations for Fios customers. Verizon said that it had high health care costs for its unionized workers, which have shrunk as it sold off large chunks of its wireline unit and focused on its mobile business, which was not unionized. It also wanted the union workers, just over one-fifth of its U.S. workforce, to agree to move around to different regions when needed, which the union opposed. The union and Verizon are not giving details of the contract, so it’s not
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK — Striking Verizon employees may be back to work next week after the company and its unions reached an agreement in principle for a four-year contract. About 39,000 landline and cable employees in nine Eastern states and Washington, D.C., have been on strike since mid-April, one of the largest strikes in the U.S. in recent years. Verizon had trained other workers
clear yet what the agreement entails for workers. As the number of organized workers shrinks, union fights in recent years have tended to be defensive, aimed at holding the line for their members rather than winning new benefits, said Jake Rosenfeld, sociology professor at Washington University, in an interview before the agreement was announced. The president of the Communications Workers of America union, Chris Shelton, did say in a statement that Continued on Page 12
HIROSHIMA, Japan — The survivors of the world’s first atomic bomb attack are used to hearing grand vows to rid the world of nuclear weapons. They just don’t usually come directly from the leader of the country that dropped the bomb on them in the first place. Today, a day after Barack Obama left, there was gratitude — wonder, even — that he had become the first sitting U.S. president to visit the place where the nuclear age began. But there was also clear-eyed recognition that the realities of a dangerous, fickle world may trump Obama’s call for nations, including his own, to have the “the courage to escape the logic of fear” of nuclear weapons stockpiling. Hiroshima cherishes its survivors — a grove not far from the atomic bomb’s hypocenter proudly displays signs announcing that these “A-
bombed Trees” still thrive — but there’s also some skepticism when faced with yet another anti-nuclear call, even from the leader of the world’s sole superpower. “The world paid attention to what happened here, even if just for a while, because someone as important as (Obama) came to Hiroshima. So perhaps it could make things a little bit better,” Kimie Miyamoto, 89, a bomb survivor, said in an interview. “But you never know if it will really make a difference, because so much depends on what other countries are thinking as well.” Asked if Obama’s visit could inspire those countries to abandon nuclear weapons, she shook her head. “I don’t think so,” she said, “because there are so many (bombs) in the world.” Long after Obama left for Washington, people here were loath to let go of his whirlwind trip. Into the night, a line at Peace Memorial Park stretched from an arched Continued on Page 12
Family Cellphone study raises concerns despite low risk welcomes By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON — A new federal study of the potential dangers of cellphone radiation, conducted in rats, found a slight increase in brain tumors in males and raised long-dormant concerns about the safety of spending so much time with cellphones glued to our ears. But the study had enough strange findings that it has caused other federal scientists to highlight flaws in the research, and experts said these findings and those from other studies continue to suggest the potential risk from cellphone radiation is very small. The National Institutes of Health study bombarded rats with cellphone radiation from the womb through the first two years of life for nine hours a day. It found tumors in 2 to 3 percent of male rats, which the study’s authors called low. But females weren’t affected at all and, strangely, the rats
not exposed to the cellphone radiation died much faster — at double the rate — of those that were. The results were preliminary, and only part of what will ultimately be released. They were made public before they were officially published — and despite strong criticism from other NIH scientists — because the results were similar to other studies that hint at a potential problem, said study author John Bucher. The study is part of a seven-year, $25 million effort conducted by the National Toxicology Program at the request of the Food and Drug Administration. It looked at the specific type of radiation that cellphones transmit, called non-ionizing radiofrequency. “This is the first study to actually show that non-ionizing radiation (causes) cancer,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, the American Cancer Society’s chief medical officer. The cancer society in a statement praised the study for “evidence that cellphone signals Continued on Page 12

Expecting worst, travelers find fast lines By JEFF MARTIN and RUSS BYNUM Associated Press
DOROTHY BOYNTON RUST/Associated Press
GERALDINE LARGAY, Brentwood, Tenn., posed in 2013 at the Poplar Ridge Shelter on the Appalachian Trail in Maine.
Family of hiker not critical of searchers’ efforts AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The family of a hiker who died after getting lost on the Appalachian Trail in Maine isn’t going to criticize searchers even though they abandoned their full-scale effort while she was still alive. Geraldine Largay’s family members saw searchers’ efforts and know from visiting the location of her death how difficult it would’ve been to find her, the family said in a statement released Friday evening. “While we grieve for Gerry, we do not secondguess any of the efforts to find her when she went missing. We witnessed firsthand the passion and commitment of the hundreds of game wardens and volunteers who searched for her,” the statement said. Documents released by the Maine Warden Service this week under Freedom of Access Act requests by media organizations indicate the 66-year-old woman from Brentwood, Tenn., survived more than three weeks after getting lost. Largay, who went by the nickname Inchworm, got lost after leaving the trail on July 22, 2013, to relieve herself and set up her final camp the next day, wardens said. Her texts to her husband warning that she’d become lost were never delivered but were retrieved from her phone after her body was found. “in somm trouble,” she texted on July 22, 2013, the day she left the trail. “Got off trail to go to br. now lost. can you call AMC to c if a trail maintainer can help me. somewhere north of woods road.” A day later, she again pleaded for help: “lost since yesterday. off trail 3 or 4 miles. call police for what to do pls.” After she missed a rendezvous with her husband, he reported her missing on July 24, 2013, setting off a massive search by the Maine Warden Service and other agencies. Journal entries made by Largay indicate she lived on even after the Maine Warden Service suspended the search. Hundreds of searchers had scoured the area but never found the remote campsite where she hunkered down. Resigned to her fate, she wrote a note directing anyone who found her remains to contact her husband and daughter. “When you find my body, please call my husband George ... and my daughter Kerry,” Largay wrote in a page that was torn out of her journal. “It will be the greatest kindness for them to know that I am dead where you found me — no matter how many years from now.” Her body was in a sleeping bag in a collapsed tent when it was found last October, more than two years after she went missing, by a contractor conducting a forestry survey on property owned by the U.S. Navy in Redington Township.
The state medical examiner determined she died from lack of food and water, and exposure to the elements. In the statement, the family said “her final days were a testament to her bravery, resourcefulness and her faith.” “Gerry was doing exactly what she wanted to do. She’d hiked a thousand miles — after 200 miles of training hikes the year prior — and as the warden’s report indicates, she was lucid and thinking of others, as always, until the end,” the statement said. The family described her as “a positive, vibrant, optimistic, enthusiastic and spiritual person” and encouraged contributions to two causes that would’ve been important to her, the Maine Association for Search and Rescue, and the Nature Conservancy.
ATLANTA — Fast-moving airport security lines at the start of the Memorial Day weekend could bode well for return travelers Monday. Travelers reported moving quickly through airport checkpoints Friday after authorities opened extra screening lanes and used bomb-sniffing dogs to give some passengers a break from removing their shoes. “Wow. I mean, wow,” said Mike Saresky, who flew into Chicago from Philadelphia, where he breezed through airport security in 12 minutes and got to leave his shoes on. “I thought it was going to be a lot worse.” The extra dogs were concentrated at the nation’s largest airports, but they were not used for all screenings, meaning that many travelers still had to observe the usual procedures. But as the busy summer travel season kicked off, the federal Transportation Security Administration tried to offer travelers some relief after weeks of slow-moving lines blamed on an increase in the number of air travelers and a shortage of TSA security officers. A TSA spokesman said the extra dogs would remain well beyond the holiday. At Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, known as the world’s busiest, all 16 security lanes at the main checkpoint were open Friday morning as a bombsniffing dog and its handler walked among waiting passengers. Wait times were slashed to less than 15 minutes, compared with backups of nearly an hour in recent weeks. “All the natives were telling me, ‘Brace yourself,’” said Carl Pluim, who arrived in Atlanta to fly home to Denver. “I left myself two hours before my flight, so I think I’ll be OK.” When she flew barely two weeks ago, LaGretta Watkin recalled security lines “so chaotic” that travelers “could barely move.”
ALAN DIAZ/Associated Press
A TRANSPORTATION Security Administration officer checked travelers’ luggage Friday at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida. “But today it’s smooth sailing and refreshing,” Watkin said as she started a trip from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Fla. “And I’m loving it.” The TSA began deploying extra canine teams to the busiest airports months ago. While the goal was to shorten waits at larger airports, the reshuffling could also result in longer lines at airports that lost dog teams. The dogs “have the ability to screen large groups of passengers for explosives, making the removal of shoes and laptops and such unnecessary,” TSA spokesman Mike England said. The agency has 900 dog teams nationwide, England said. He declined to say which airports they were sent to for the holiday weekend or how long they might stay. “This is not just for Memorial Day weekend,” England said. “I wouldn’t expect that it would go away any time soon.” At O’Hare Airport in Chicago, which had some of the worst screening meltdowns in recent weeks, lines moved briskly Friday, though they still swelled at times. Typical
security procedures appeared to be in place, with passengers removing belts and shoes and taking computers from bags and items out of pockets. Bombsniffing dogs were making rounds in pre-security areas. Terri Hale, arriving in Chicago from Cleveland, said security there seemed, if anything, tighter than usual. Passing through the millimeter-wave scanner, she was stopped and asked to empty her pocket for what turned out to be a tiny piece of foil from a gum wrapper. “When she found that I was like, OK,’” Hale recalled with a laugh, as a security dog sniffed around her in the O’Hare baggage claim area. Security lines were fairly short at LaGuardia Airport in New York. Arlene Dobren, who was flying to Atlanta, said she and her husband arrived early to find “the lines are like no lines.” Harrison Pavlasek, departing for Texas, said he had been prepared to make the best of the situation if lines were long. “It is just one of those things we are going to have to live with,” Pavlasek said. “Whether it is the airlines’
fault or TSA’s fault or our own fault, it is unfortunately the consequences we have to live with at this point in time.” Travelers at the San Diego airport said security lines were moving faster Friday than in recent weeks. Adam Hutson noticed improvements as he returned from a two-week trip to Hawaii. “When we left two weeks ago, it was very slow here,” said Hutson, a San Diego business manager who waited over an hour in lines on his way to Hawaii. He said his wait leaving Maui was 30 minutes. “I think the scrutiny over the last week has really paid off in a big way,” said Gary McGoffin, of Lafayette, La., who was traveling through San Diego on vacation with his wife. Nationwide, AAA estimated that 2.6 million Americans would fly during the long weekend. That’s out of an anticipated 38 million domestic travelers, most of whom will probably drive to their destinations. AAA predicted 2016 would have the secondhighest Memorial Day travel volume on record and the most since 2005.

Operator considers cave safety after flood By BRUCE SCHREINER and CLAIRE GALOFARO Associated Press
HORSE CAVE, Ky. — One day after 19 people trudged through neck-deep water in a harrowing escape from a flooded Kentucky cave, the operator of the spelunking attraction says he is analyzing the incident for any possible safety lessons. David Foster, executive director of the American Cave Museum, said he had no way to reach the students a mile deep in the caverns Thursday afternoon to warn them that the water was rising, threatening to block their only exit. Radio frequencies don’t reach that deep into the caverns; there are no phone lines to check in. So Foster sped home to get his boots, called 911 and ran into the flooded Hidden River Cave to find them. If he didn’t act fast, he thought, the group of guides and college students on a five-hour tour could be trapped for days until the water receded. They all made it out safely after navigating deep water, rushing currents and mud so thick it sucked off a police chief’s boot. Now Foster said he’s turning his attention to any safety updates that might help prevent another close call. Four years ago, another spring flood forced Foster to undertake a similar rescue mission. In March 2012, eight students and a teacher on a field trip were deep in the cave when a thunderstorm dumped rain on the area, said Bonny Armstrong, editor of the journal American Caving Accidents, a publication of the National Speleological Society. That group, like the cavers rescued Thursday, had no idea their only exit was being plugged by water. Foster and another guide went in to rescue them. One canyon, about 1,000 feet into the cave, is particularly prone to dangerous flooding, Foster said. In 2012, the guide tied a rope around his waist, and the students grasped onto it. They walked where they could, but the flood was so deep they sometimes had to swim, Armstrong said. Everyone made it out safely. Foster said they learned from that experience and built a ladder and cable system in the canyon as an escape route. They used it
Thursday, and Foster said it allowed them to traverse the most treacherous part of the cave without incident. His worry after Thursday’s flood is communication. The groups entered the cave around 10 a.m., and when the rain started hours later there was no way to warn them to hurry back aboveground. Foster is now looking into installing a phone system in the cave, which gets about 15,000 visitors every year and is operated by the nonprofit American Cave Conservation Association. Its yearly budget is about $300,000. Revenue comes from donations, grants and ticket sales for the cave and museum. Foster’s cave is about 10 miles from Kentucky’s most famous caverns, Mammoth Cave National Park. Park spokeswoman Vickie Carson said the cave has a hard-wired telephone system. Phones are placed at regular intervals so guides are never far from one. “We can make plans for safety as best we can,” Carson said. “But it’s not all under human control. It’s a wild place. That’s what gives it the sense of adventure.” After the 2012 incident, Armstrong said she recommended stashing supplies in high, dry areas inside the cave so cavers trapped by water can camp until the flood subsides. She repeated Friday that allowing cavers to be temporarily trapped is safer than braving the daring, high-water rescues like the one on Thursday. Foster said he will consider stashing warm clothes and supplies deep in his cave. But after spelunking there for 30 years, he said he knows the cave and how the water rises in it, and was confident Thursday that he had enough time to get everybody out safely. People know spelunking holds inherent risks, he said. That’s why they descend into a cave in the first place. “In a world where all the high mountains have been climbed, there are very few wilderness areas left where human beings have not traveled,” he said. “Here we’re sitting in a small Kentucky town where there are miles of caves that have never been explored, nobody has ever seen them. There are still discoveries to be made.”

During a search, police found a bag of marijuana and a grinder. Oates pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was ordered to pay $311.18 in fines and costs. The remaining charges were withdrawn.
Man sentenced to 12 to 30 years in death BEAVER (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to 12 to 30 years in the death of a man killed after a dispute a year ago. The Beaver County Times reported that Christopher Kirkland, 26, apologized and asked for forgiveness from
the family of Matthew Williams, 33, as he was sentenced Friday in Beaver County. Kirkland said “I’m a dad myself. A brother, a son.” He said there was nothing he could say to let Williams’ family know how sorry he was.
Authorities said Kirkland shot at Williams six times after an April 2015 argument. Kirkland had no prior record and said he wasn’t trying to kill Williams, but even though he was licensed to carry a firearm he didn’t know how to properly use it.

Everest deaths prompt risky efforts to recover bodies By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA and TIM SULLIVAN Associated Press
KATHMANDU, Nepal — The mountain is speckled with corpses. Nearly 300 people have died on Mount Everest in the century or so since climbers have been trying to reach its summit. At least 100 of them are still on the mountain, perhaps 200. Most of the bodies are hidden in deep crevasses or covered by snow and ice, but some are visible to every climber who passes by, landmarks in heavy plastic climbing boots and colorful parkas that fade a little more every year. The most famous corpses get nicknames — “Green Boots,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The German” — becoming warnings of what can go wrong on the 29,035-foot peak, even as they become part of the mountain’s gallows humor. No mountaineer wants to end up a nicknamed body. No grieving family wants their loved one to become a punch line. But in one of the most unforgiving places on Earth, where low oxygen, frigid temperatures and strong winds mean any effort can seem impossible, taking down the dead is no simple thing. So when four people died on the upper reaches of Everest in recent days, and with a fifth missing and presumed dead, climbing teams and climbers’ families scattered around the world had to face the question of whether the bodies would be brought down. “For the loved ones back home and family members of those fallen and died on Mount Everest, it is worth it,” said Ben Jones, a guide from Jackson, Wyo., who made his third successful Everest ascent this year.

THE BODY of a climber who died during a Mount Everest expedition was carried to a hospital Thursday in Kathmandu, Nepal. But the equation isn’t simple. “It’s extremely difficult and extremely dangerous,” said Arnold Coster, expedition leader for Seven Summit Treks, which lost two climbers this year on Everest and spent days getting them off the mountain. “The terrain is steep and the weather is bad. It’s been snowing, and been very windy the past couple days,” he said Thursday, as a team of Sherpas struggled to get the body of one climber, Maria Strydom, low enough to be picked up by helicopter. It can take 10 Sherpas more than three days to move a body from Everest’s South Col, at 26,300 feet, to Camp 2, a rocky expanse at 21,000 feet where helicopters can take over. It’s a painful, exhausting process, with the bodies, which

are normally carried in sleeping bags or wrapped in tents, often much heavier because they are covered in ice. Given the risks involved in spending so much time at high altitudes, many climbing teams decide not to bring down their dead, sometimes lowering them into crevasses or covering them with rocks so they are not gawked at. Coster said that Strydom’s body was just off a main climbing route, in an area where it was easily visible, and that her family wanted it brought down. But he said he discussed the situation first with a Sherpa team, evaluating the potential dangers involved, before deciding they could safely get down the mountain with the corpse. Coster described Strydom as a strong climber who had weak-

earn up to $7,000, plus bonuses and tips, in the three-month climbing season. Cooks and other support personal earn about half as much. When a Sherpa dies on Everest, relatives also working there will normally rush to recover the body. But sometimes, they are never found. Chhedar Sherpa, a guide who has scaled Everest seven times, lost his brother and nephew when an Everest avalanche killed 16 Sherpas in 2014. His brother’s body was recovered, but his nephew has never been found. “In our culture we do not like to leave behind bodies on the mountain. We believe that the bodies should be properly cremated for the peace of their souls and so the family gets closure,” said Sherpa, who gave up high-altitude work after avalanche. But he added: “We believe that one’s safety should be the priority when trying to bring down a body. “ Sometimes, the mountain itself brings back the dead, as shifting glaciers or melting snow reveal bodies that have been lost for years. The body of George Mallory, the great English climber who disappeared on Everest in 1924, was not found until 1999. The corpse of a Sherpa guide, who had fallen in a crevasse in 2005, emerged near Base Camp in 2013. Ang Tshering, head of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, predicted that warming temperatures will reveal many new corpses. “In the next 10 years or so, these bodies could begin turning up,” he said.

By The Associated Press TOKYO — The U.S. military in Japan is restricting celebrations and off-base alcohol consumption in Okinawa after the arrest of a former Marine suspected of killing a woman on the southern Japanese island. The Marine Corps commander in Japan said today the measures are not punishment but an effort to show respect for the victim’s family and mourn with the people of Okinawa. “We should not be out shooting fireworks. We should not be out having large celebrations and parties while the Okinawan people are in mourning. If we really believe we are part of the Okinawan community, then we too must be in mourning. And we do,” Lt. Gen. Lawrence Nicholson said at a news conference at a U.S. base in Okinawa. The 30,000 U.S. troops will not be allowed to drink alcohol off-base, and visiting clubs and bars is prohibited. Upcoming festivals and concerts on bases are being postponed until later in the summer. The restrictions took effect Friday and will last until June 24. Police say they arrested Kenneth Shinzato, 32, on May 19 after he told investigators where they could find a 20-year-old woman’s body abandoned in a forest. Under Japanese law, he can be held for 21 days before charges are filed. The former Marine had married a Japanese woman and was working for a contractor that provided services to U.S. bases on Okinawa. The arrest comes as tensions are already high over a plan to relocate a Marine Corps air station to a lesspopulated part of Okinawa. About half of the U.S. troops stationed in Japan are on the island, and many residents resent the burden they bear for the defense of Japan and the region.
ened as she neared the summit. She turned back but later collapsed and died. After being carried down the mountain, her body was flown to Kathmandu on Friday. A recovery like that does not come cheap. Dan Richards of Global Rescue, a Boston-based agency, said retrieving a body from Everest is a massive logistical operation that can cost from $10,000 to $40,000, depending on the difficulty and helicopter flights. “However, we do not take the risk for mortal remains unless it is in a safe location,” he said. Jiban Ghimire of Shangri-la Nepal Trek, a prominent expedition outfitter agency based in Kathmandu, said recovery operations are generally covered by insurance companies or paid for by the families of the dead climbers. Strydom’s family and friends are trying to raise at least $30,000 to cover what it cost to get her body down from Everest and to Kathmandu, according to Australian press reports. The climbers who died on Everest this year included Strydom, a Dutch man and two Indian men. Another Indian man is missing, with almost no chance he remains alive. But across the years, it is Sherpas who die most often on the mountain. In just the past two years, at least 28 of the dead were from the ethnic group that has lived for centuries around Everest, and who have become an integral part of the Himalayan mountaineering world. The pay on the mountain, in a nation with an average per capita income of just $730, has long made the risks worthwhile. Sherpa climbing guides can

Trump’s cult of falsehood “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire, 1698-1774 he first thing to understand is that, before it’s a presidential election, it’s a TV program. To the suits at CNN, NBC and Fox News, that means it’s about ratings and money. So of course they’re going to play it as a cliffhanger. Do they ever say “Tune in Saturday to watch the Alabama Crimson Tide humiliate hopelessly overmatched Kent State!”? Never. So it’s going to be with Trump vs. Clinton. Almost regardless of what political scientists and number-crunchers say, the race will be depicted as a nail-biter. The fact that Charles Manson could win Texas’ electoral votes with an “R” after his name, while Democrats could take Massachusetts with a Kardashian sister, will prolong the manufactured suspense. It’s going to be a very long six months. Even so, it’s hard to imagine a manifest fraud like Donald J. Trump becoming president of the United States. Surely voters have too much self-respect. “If Trump came to power,” writes The New Yorker’s Adam Gopnik, “there is a decent chance that the American experiment would be over. This is not a hyperbolic prediction; it is not a hysterical prediction; it is simply a candid reading of what history tells us happens in countries with leaders like Trump. Countries don’t really recover from being taken over by unstable authoritarian nationalists of any political bent, left or right — not by Perons or Castros or Putins or Francos or Lenins or fill in Gene Lyons is the blanks.” a columnist for All politicians fudge the truth, exthe Arkansas aggerating their successes and miniTimes. His mizing their failures. Trump, howevcolumn is er, takes it to a different level. He’s a distributed by contemporary version of Baron Von Universal Uclick. Munchausen, an 18th-century literary character whose wildly exaggerated military exploits — riding on a cannonball, voyaging to the moon — made him a comic-heroic favorite for generations. Trump tells falsehoods so brazen as to redefine political lying. To see what I mean, let’s compare a couple of Clinton classics that emailers harangue me about all the time. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” The beauty of this Clintonian masterpiece lies in the fact that people often misquote it — changing “sexual relations” to “sex.” Because, according to the evidence assiduously gathered by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, it’s literally true and therefore perjury-proof. Cunning and deliberately deceptive, yes. But sexual relations means “intercourse,” and that supposedly didn’t happen. Cute, huh? That’s Bill Clinton. Readers who have never lied about sex are encouraged to vent. Then there’s Hillary’s infamous Bosnian adventure: “I remember landing under sniper fire,” she told a 2008 audience. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles.” Confronted with CBS News footage that showed her walking calmly across the tarmac of Tuzla airport from an Air Force C-17 in 1996, Mrs. Clinton basically blamed an overactive memory. She’d actually written about the incident in her 2003 book “Living History” without mentioning the imaginary snipers. Her press secretary later explained the possible origin of Mrs. Clinton’s false memory: “We were issued flak jackets for the final leg because of possible sniper fire near Tuzla. As an additional precaution, the first lady and Chelsea were moved to the armored cockpit for the descent into Tuzla.” She won’t say so, but I’m guessing Hillary got scared, and her mind played a trick on her. Confronted with the discrepancy, however, she owned it. Suffice it to say that is not the Trump method. With a background in professional wrestling, he understands that there’s a vast audience out there only slightly more discerning than a potted geranium and willing to believe (or pretend to believe) damn near anything. Trump doesn’t trim or embroider as much as invent huge, thunderous fictions aimed at boosting himself or hurting his enemies — evidence be damned. In Trump World, facts don’t exist. He cannot be shamed. Trump went on “Morning Joe” recently to attack Hillary’s terrible judgment about Libya. See, if people had listened to Donald, the U.S. would never have helped NATO overthrow Gadhafi. “I would have stayed out of Libya,” he affirmed. Except that Trump shot a video back in 2011 urging an immediate invasion: “Gadhafi in Libya is killing thousands of people,” he said then. “Nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around, we have soldiers all (around) the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage. ... Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick.” The candidate does this stuff every day, on every imaginable topic. It’s brutal, demagogic make-believe, demanding his followers blind themselves to reality and enlist in his cult of personality.

where people crash off one another and thereby hone their thoughts and skills. The students Heller describes sense the moral emptiness of the current meritocracy and are groping for lives of purpose. At the same time they feel fragile and want protection — protection from rejection, failure or opposing or disturbing ideas. What one sees in the essay are the various strains of American liberalism crashing into one another: the admiration for achievement clashing against the moral superiority of the victim; the desire to let students run free, clashing against the desire to protect the oppressed from psychologically unsafe experiences. The current identity politics movement, like all previous forms of campus radicalism, is sparked by genuine social injustices. Agree or disagree with these students, it’s hard not to admire the impulse to serve a social good and commit to some lofty purpose. On the other hand, this movement does not emerge from a place of confidence and strength. It emerges from a place of anxiety, lostness and fragility. It is distorted by that soil. Movements that grant themselves the status of victim lack both the confidence to lead change and the humility to converse with others. People who try to use politics to fill emotional and personal voids get more and more extreme and end up as fanatics. There is a vacuum at the heart of things here. The meritocracy has become amoral. We ask students to work harder and harder while providing them with less and less of an idea of how they might find a purpose in all that work. If we slowed down the frenetic pace of competition, and helped students think about vocation — the meaning and purpose of work — then life would have a firmer base. Political life — whether left or right, radical or moderate — wouldn’t be distorted so much by inner pain.

WWII-era plane crashes in river NEW YORK (AP) — A small World War II vintage plane taking part in celebrations of its 75th anniversary flew a partial loop while smoke spewed from it and then crashed in the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey on Friday, and divers recovered a body from its sunken wreckage, police and witnesses said. The single-seat plane, a P-47 Thunderbolt, crashed around 7:30 p.m. on a part of the river near where a US Airways commercial jet carrying 155 people splash-landed safely in 2009 in what became known as the Miracle on the Hudson. Scuba divers recovered the body of a 56-year-old man from the submerged plane about three hours later, said Michael Debonis, New York Police Department detective. Police identified the body as William Gordon, of Key West, Fla.
12M U.S. cars ID’d in recall By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer
DETROIT — Eight automakers are recalling more than 12 million vehicles in the U.S. to replace potentially dangerous Takata air bag inflators. Documents detailing recalls by Honda, Fiat Chrysler, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Ferrari and Mitsubishi were posted Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They’re part of a massive expansion of Takata air bag recalls announced earlier this month. Seventeen automakers are adding 35 million to 40 million inflators to what already was the largest auto recall in U.S. history. In addition, the Japanese transport ministry on Friday announced 7 million more Takata-related recalls
covering air bag inflators without a chemical drying agent. Friday’s U.S. recalls include passenger air bags in older models in areas along the Gulf Coast with high heat and humidity. But other areas of the country are also affected depending on the age of vehicles. Takata uses the chemical ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion that inflates air bags in a crash. But the chemical can deteriorate over time when exposed to high heat and humidity and burn faster than designed. That can blow apart a metal canister, spewing hot shrapnel into vehicles. The inflators are responsible for 11 deaths and more than 100 injuries worldwide. Two more deaths are under investigation in Malaysia. The recalls are among the
first unveiled by automakers since Takata agreed May 4 to the recall expansion, and more will be announced in the coming week. The recalls are being phased in by the government due to a lack of available replacement parts. Models from 2011 or older in high heat and humidity areas will get first priority, followed by 2008 and older models in Southern-tier states, then 2004 and older models in the rest of the country. Research has shown that it takes at least six years for the ammonium nitrate to deteriorate. That’s the reason older models get priority. Honda had the biggest recall total on Friday with more than 4.5 million inflators, while Fiat Chrysler reported 4.3 million. The Honda total includes about 2,700 Gold Wing motorcy-
cles with optional front air bags. Honda says the latest recall covers only about 2.2 million additional Honda and Acura vehicles. The other 2.3 million vehicles were recalled previously for Takata problems. Honda expects the recalls to start in late summer for automobiles and in late fall for the motorcycles. Fiat Chrysler said it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries involving its vehicles that are part of the recall. The latest recalls cover mainly front passenger inflators without the chemical drying agent. The jury is still out on whether Takata will have to recall millions more inflators with the drying agent. Takata has to prove to the government that those are safe by the end of 2019, or they will be recalled. Before the latest expan-

Scientists find minivan-sized sponge HONOLULU (AP) — Researchers in Hawaii have been absorbed by a sea creature they discovered last summer, and their findings are pretty big. The team of scientists on a deep-sea expedition in the waters off Hawaii discovered what they say is the world’s largest known sponge. The creature, roughly the size of a minivan, was discovered about 7,000 feet down in a marine conservation area off Hawaiian Islands. The rare sponge, with a bluish-white color and brain-like appearance, stunned scientists when it appeared in the remote cameras attached to their underwater rover. Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Hawaii studied the sponge for about a year before releasing their findings.
SpaceX lands another rocket after delivery CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX pulled off another rocket landing Friday, the third in just under two months. The first-stage booster of the unmanned Falcon rocket settled vertically onto a barge 400 miles off Florida’s east coast, eight minutes after the late afternoon liftoff. The touchdown occurred after the rocket launched an Asian communications satellite. Like the last successful landing, this one was especially difficult given the speed and heat of the incoming 15story booster. SpaceX’s first booster landing actually occurred in December — on land at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Californiabased company followed up with a successful touchdown on its floating platform in the Atlantic in early April, then again May 6.
sion, automakers had recalled 28.8 million Takata inflators, so as many as 69 million could be recalled in the U.S. alone. The numbers have raised concerns about Takata’s financial survival. The Japanese parts supplier has hired the advisory firm Lazard to restructure its finances, and automakers likely will have to shoulder some costs. Since the recalled models vary by state and age, officials say that the best way to see if your car is affected is to go to https://vinrcl. safercar.gov/vin/ and key in the vehicle identification number. That number can be found on the driver’s side of the dashboard near the windshield or on state vehicle registrations. It may take several weeks for all the newly recalled vehicles to be entered into the databases.

Texas braces for possibly more rain after flooding leaves 1 dead BRENHAM, Texas (AP) — At least one person is dead and three others were missing after torrential thunderstorms caused flooding in Texas, officials said as they braced for the possibility of more rain over the long Memorial Day weekend. “It’s not going to take very much rain to get us in those flood stages again,” Washington County Judge John Brieden said Friday. The forecasts through the holiday weekend called for scattered or isolated thunderstorms in central and southeast Texas. But officials say they will be monitoring local rivers and waterways, which could rise out of their banks in the coming days due to the heavy rains. Brieden said that in Washington County, located between Austin and Houston, one person drowned and another person was missing after their vehicle was swept away. Lisa Block, an emergency services
spokeswoman in Travis County, which includes Austin, said officials there were still searching for two people missing from a vehicle on a flooded roadway. Mobile homes washed away in the flooding and multiple houses had water inside, Brieden said. He said there had been more than 50 water rescues from houses and vehicles since the rains started Thursday morning. “We had one guy that got out of his vehicle and managed to hang on to a tree while the vehicle washed away,” Brieden said, adding the man was in the tree for a couple of hours before being rescued by a boat crew. He said some people in homes had to evacuate through windows to be rescued. The Washington County seat, Brenham, received 16.62 inches of rain on Thursday, breaking the city’s daily rainfall record, said National Weather Service meteorologist
Wendy Long. Brieden said about 40 children spent the night at a Brenham elementary school after buses were unable to get them home. He said that in some areas buses couldn’t get down flooded roads. A couple of buses had to be rescued as one broke down and another was trapped when waters rose nearby. Block said up to 9 inches of rain fell in parts of Travis County. Nine people were rescued by helicopter from homes and vehicles. Block said they included four adults and a child who climbed onto the roof of their Austin-area home as floodwaters rose. They were hoisted to safety. The National Weather Service said it determined that an EF-1 tornado hit Thursday in Bryan, about 100 miles northwest of Houston. Bryan officials said 153 homes were damaged, including 53 with major damage.
Chinese kids who climb cliffside ladder may get stairs BEIJING (AP) — Just to get home from school, they climb more than 2,500 feet toward the sky — on a ladder made of bamboo and secured to a sheer cliff face. After pictures surfaced of the challenging trek faced by schoolchildren in a poor corner of China’s mountainous west, their village may be getting some assistance by way of a safer, more modern piece of infrastructure: a solid set of steel stairs. The hardship faced by residents in the village of Atuleer in Sichuan province underscores the vast gap in development between China’s prosperous, modern east and
parts of the remote inland west that remain mired in poverty. The bamboo ladder is the only means of access to the village to which the 15 children age 6 to 15 return every two weeks from the school at which they board. The 72 families who live there are members of the Yi minority group and subsist mainly by farming potatoes, walnuts and chili peppers. A news release Friday from the Liangshan prefectural government that oversees the county said a set of stairs would be built as a stop-gap measure while officials consider a longer-term solution. It quoted local residents

CHILDREN CLIMBED up a cliff using a bamboo ladder on their way home from school earlier this month in southwest China’s Sichuan province. as saying that in addition to the safety issue, the ladder-only access exposed villagers to exploitation because traders knew they would be unable to carry unsold produce back up the cliff. “The most important issue at hand is to solve
the transport issue. That will allow us to make larger-scale plans about opening up the economy and looking for opportunities in tourism,” county Communist Party Secretary General Jikejingsong was quoted as saying in the news release.
BEIRUT — Islamic State militants entered a Syrian opposition stronghold in the country’s north today, clashing with rebels on the edges of the town as the extremist group built on its most significant advance near the Turkish border in two years, Syrian opposition groups and IS media said. More than 160,000 civilians are trapped in the fighting, which also forced the evacuation of one of the few remaining hospitals in the area, run by the international medical organization Doctors Without Borders. IS fighters today staged two suicide bombings targeting “opposition forces” near Marea, IS said via its news agency, Aamaq. Following the suicide bombings, IS militants entered Marea and fighting began inside the town, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based opposition media outfit that tracks Syria’s civil war. The territorial gains around the rebel strongholds of Marea and Azaz, north of Aleppo city, are a blow to the Turkey and Saudi-backed rebels, who have been struggling to retain a foothold in the region while being squeezed by opponents from all sides. They also demonstrated the Islamic State group’s ability to stage major offensives and capture new areas, despite a string of recent losses in Syria and Iraq. The IS offensive targeting Syrian opposition strongholds near the Turkish border began Thursday night. On Friday, militants of the group captured six villages near Azaz, triggering intense fighting that trapped tens of thousands of civilians unable to flee to safety while Turkey’s border remains closed. A few hundred fled west to the Kurdish-held enclave of Afrin. People are “terrified for their lives,” the International Rescue Committee said in a statement. The group said it has received confirmed reports that at least four entire families, including women and children, were killed Friday on the outskirts of the town of Azaz. The IRC runs centers for both children and women in Azaz and provides clean water and sanitation to a camp supporting 8,500 people. More than half the camp’s population has left to find safety elsewhere in the town, it said. The IRC also relocated its staff from the centers and camp to shelter to safer areas of Azaz until the situation enables them to return. The U.N. refugee agency said it was “deeply concerned” about the fighting affecting thousands of vulnerable civilians.

Don’t forget to remember Extra tea: Read and meditate on Joshua 4 “In the future when your descendants ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones, mean?’ tell them … ” – Joshua 4:21–22 (NIV) With three grandchildren on different ball teams (plus one of them umpires), hubby and I are at the Punxsutawney Little League Fields just about every evening. After the sixth game in four days, I told Dean we should park our camper at the ball field. The Punxsutawney Little League complex is almost a second home to us, as we spent many a summer afternoon and evening there when our youngest played baseball. Five wellmaintained Michele Huey’s and column lighted appears every ball Saturday. fields for Email Minor comments to League, michele Little huey@yahoo. League, com. Senior Little League, what we call the Teener League field (VFW), and girls’ softball, are located beside Mahoning Creek. Each ball field is named for someone local. Some honor those who have devoted much of their time to maintain and improve the fields and the league. Two fields are named as memorials. The Little League field is called “Billy Titus Memorial Field,” named after a Punxsutawney Little Leaguer who was killed in a farming accident. The VFW League field, the Rich Kuntz Memorial Field, is named for SP4 Richard Lorraine Kuntz, who was killed in action in Vietnam on Feb. 5, 1968, six weeks before his 21st birthday. My grandson once
GOD, ME AND A CUP OF TEA
asked me, “Who was Rich Kuntz? Why is the field named after him?” Since I’ve spent half a lifetime at the fields and know the stories behind the names, I was able to tell him. But it got me wondering: How many people drive right by those signs or even say the name of the ball field and don’t realize the significance? Memorials are built and named so we won’t forget, so those who come after will learn of the sacrifice of the Vietnam soldier or the love a Little Leaguer who never got to play Senior League had for the game. This weekend we observe Memorial Day, a day set aside to honor and remember our military men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Some died in action, some went missing in action and never were found, some died a slow death after they came home and tried to resume a normal life. Some are still alive, but they will never be the same. Sadly, these holidays that are set aside to remember and honor those who have stepped to the plate for our country are too often perceived as simply a day off work, to relax, catch up on things, feast and frolic. While there’s nothing wrong with any of those activities, let us not forget to remember why we observe Memorial Day. On the way to the ball field, there’s a grassy field beside the road that’s covered with U.S. flags. Each time I passed it this week, more flags waved in the breeze. Yesterday, I slowed down to read the sign. Passers-by are invited to place a free flag there in honor of a veteran. I didn’t have time to stop. But you know what? As soon as I send this column, I’m going to drive to that field and place a flag in honor of my loved ones who have served. It’s the least I could do. What about you? What are you doing to remember this Memorial Day? Thank you, Lord, for those who gave themselves to serve, protect, and defend our country. Let us never forget the sacrifices they made. Amen.

Family reflections provide comfort By JAN WOODARD
Area churches set Vacation Bible School
The Indiana Gazette
Our great-niece Maria, 12 weeks old, visited last week with her family. Something in her sweet face — perhaps her eyes — resembles my mother. It’s fun to enjoy children without being responsible for their diapers. Brushing my cheek against hers, I kissed her hair and hugged her close. Maria tried to nuzzle Jan Woodard against something incorporates that wasn’t texting in her writing, shar- there being a faith per- fore decidspective on her ing my still personal jour- tightly ney with breast wrapped cancer. Contact torso wasn’t anyher at janwa trouswoodard thing like her @gmail.com. mama’s. We sent her home with my childhood tea set as a baptismal gift, packaged in the original box. Only one piece is missing, a teacup broken long ago in a kitchen mishap.
TEXTING THRU CANCER
Mother and Daddy purchased the set, handpainted with bluebirds, for $3.98 around 1954. My twin sister and I found it under the Christmas tree. Mom also fringed a blue gingham table cloth with matching napkins for a child-sized maple table. Our bedroom, located on the front of our Cape Cod home, had a windowed gable, the perfect alcove for little girls to serve each other “tea.” When my daughters had tea parties they wore big brimmed hats, pretending to be grown-ups. As grownups, we look back wistfully on our youth. Infants, though, live entirely in the moment. May 20, me — texting my sisters: “Maria is a calm beautiful baby, takes in all the world with her eyes.” There’s something about holding a baby — even for a moment — that’s reassuring. Although they’ll never know it, it’s a way to touch generations past, present and those to come. On one of my last visits with my grandma she gave me a box of family photographs. In it was an 1800s postcard with a sprawling, multi-generational family posing on a country porch — Maria’s ancestors, and mine. There’s a tiny swatch of auburn hair attached to it,

the same shade as my youngest child’s at birth. It may have been a vintage birth announcement — never mailed, tucked away in a desk for 100 years or so. Imagine what Ances tory.com could do with that. When my girls were home sorting through things, I gave them each a clipping of their own baby hair. One chose to keep it, the other chose not. I silently winced to see those curls go in the wastebasket. I pondered all this as my hairdresser was about to bob my locks. (Think Dorothy Hamill 2.0.) I stopped coloring my hair after a diagnosis of cancer. Since then gray roots have sprouted like the weeds in my untended flower beds. A cut was in order. A breast cancer survivor told me she had her head shaved when her hair started falling out. She scattered the clippings in the wind and later found birds had gathered
bits to weave their nests. I find tenacious courage in that image. May 25, a friend texted this prayer: “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 (NLT) When fear threatens to undo me — subtly taking me to darker places — prayers like this uphold and keep me from falling, like a safety net. The Bible says there’s a time and season for everything, including a time for letting go. Of tea sets, of hair, of wanting to be something or someone other than who I am. In its place is the inner knowing I’m exactly who and where I’m meant to be at this moment. And with eyes focused on hope, I await the day when Maria and I sit down to share a tea party together. All will be well.

Bridge collapse survivor linked to IS in Syria By AMY FORLITI
For his injuries, a 2009 state court order says, Roble was due to receive a lump sum payment of $65,431.22 on his 18th birthday — roughly a month and a half before federal prosecutors say he left the U.S. for Istanbul. Roble’s name surfaced in federal court last week during the trial of three Minnesota men accused of conspiring to travel to Syria to join the IS group. Testimony has suggested that at least some of the men in the group knew Roble had money and asked him to fund their own trips. One man believed Roble had gone to Syria with thousands of dollars and used it to pay for weddings for fighters and cars. The bridge collapse was not mentioned during the trial. The Associated Press made the connection using state court records to trace the bridge collapse victim to a Minneapolis high school, then matched the victim’s yearbook picture to a photo the government has provided of the young man believed to be in Syria. A handful of people who knew the family also confirmed the match. Working phone numbers and

MINNEAPOLIS — Mohamed Roble was weeks shy of his 11th birthday when the school bus he was on plummeted more than 30 feet as the bridge beneath gave way. Now, according to court testimony in a federal terrorism trial, Roble — one of the 145 people injured in the Minneapolis bridge collapse that killed 13 people — is believed to be in Syria with the Islamic State group. Roble and four of his siblings were on the bus that was carrying 52 students and several adults when the Interstate 35W span collapsed on Aug. 1, 2007, sending shockwaves nationwide about the safety of the country’s infrastructure. All of the occupants of their bus survived. His injuries included headaches, arm, neck and back pain, nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder, records show. One letter from a therapist said Roble “seems the most traumatized of all the siblings” and “he worked on his spiritual belief that ‘God had saved him for a purpose.’”
current addresses for Roble’s family members were not available and they could not be reached for comment. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment beyond what was said in court. According to evidence presented in federal court last week, Roble flew to Istanbul in October 2014 as part of an itinerary that included a trip to China. He was due to return to the U.S. in June 2015, but never did, FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force Officer Joel Pajak testified. “We received information that Mr. Roble ended up in Syria with his uncle, Abdi Nur,” Pajak testified. Nur is among 10 men charged in the case and is believed to be fighting with the Islamic State group; six others have pleaded guilty, and testimony in the trial of the other three wrapped up on Friday. Prosecutors say the men were part of a group of friends who recruited and inspired each other to join the Islamic State group. Roble has not been charged, but prosecutors included his picture in a court exhibit that contains the photos of 16 men who authorities say joined or conspired to join
militant groups in Syria and Somalia. The FBI has said that roughly a dozen young men have left Minnesota to join militant groups in Syria in recent years. Little has been revealed about Roble, but testimony suggests at least some of the men knew he had money. One witness, FBI informant Abdirahman Bashir, testified that in the fall of 2014 some group members asked Roble if he could finance their own trips. “We all knew that he had money, and we were asking him if he could give us some money for travel and he said yes,” Bashir testified. Under questioning from Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Winter, Bashir added that Roble “had a lot of money from an accident before, and got a settlement.” “Some kind of insurance settlement?” Winter asked. “Yes,” Bashir said. It isn’t clear whether Roble actually funded trips for potential travelers, and evidence so far suggests he did not. Bashir’s testimony showed the men struggled to find ways to finance their own travel. But in one secretly recorded
DMC: Commissioner should apologize By MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer
NEW YORK — Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and hiphop icon Darryl “DMC” McDaniels says the New York police commissioner’s recent comments — where he labeled rappers as thugs following a shooting at a hip-hop concert — are disrespectful and that the commissioner should apologize to rappers like Chuck D, Will Smith and Kendrick Lamar — performers whose songs do not promote violence and negative images. Police commissioner William Bratton’s comments came Thursday after four people were shot at a Manhattan concert hall where rapper T.I. was scheduled to perform on Wednesday night. Bratton blamed the shootings on “the crazy world of the so-called rap artists who are basically thugs that basically celebrate the violence that they live all their lives.” McDaniels, one of the founding members of the pioneering rap group RunDMC, said the shooting is
DARRYL MCDANIELS not a “hip-hop problem” and that Bratton’s statement was unfair to rappers like LL Cool J, De La Soul, J. Cole and many others. “He needs to apologize to all the rappers who have come from (the) streets but have never put out anything negative (and) disrespectful to break down ... and destroy their community,” McDaniels, 51, told the Associated Press on Friday. “(Bratton) was upset and pointing a finger and getting to the root and not thinking about the people he would hurt by saying

what he said,” McDaniels continued. “Him as the commissioner saying it did so much damage (and) pushes hip-hop back — that’s why he should apologize.” Bratton told the AP Friday night that, “I meant what I said about the thugs who call themselves rap artists, and shoot up crowded clubs, and in this case, kill and wound people.” But he said in a statement emailed by his spokesman that he understands rap has become “an important vehicle for storytelling in urban America” and that there’s a segment of “gangster rap” that often overshadows rap’s most important messages. Bratton said his comments about the shootings were “misread as a reference to all of rap and hiphop, which it was not.” He said he’s concerned about the “subset that not only glamorize violence but some who employ violence like a prop for ‘street cred.’” Police are investigating the deadly shooting at Irving Plaza, where one person died. Rapper Roland Collins, whose stage name
is Troy Ave, will face attempted murder and weapons charges. He was also shot in the leg. Ronald McPhatter, who died, was a member of Collins’ entourage and had been there to provide security, according to his family. In an interview with WCBS radio, Bratton said rap music “oftentimes celebrates violence, celebrates degradation of women, celebrates the drug culture.” “It’s unfortunate that as they get fame and fortune that some of them are just not able to get out of the life, if you will,” he said. McDaniels said his words are “totally, totally, totally unacceptable and false.” “There’s a million rappers who come from the hood who do not portray, promote or produce products that celebrate or legitimizes any forms of negativity,” he said. “The commissioner, he knew better than that. I respect his job, I know it’s hard and all of that, but he should have known better.” Mayor Bill de Blasio has said he thought Bratton was “talking out of frustration.”

conversation played for jurors, defendant Guled Omar told Bashir that Roble took thousands of dollars to Syria and was passing out money like “candy.” In that conversation, Omar said Roble used the money in Syria to finance weddings and cars for fighters. The men also used a Skype account to communicate with Roble and Nur abroad, according to testimony. Another witness in the case testified that Roble’s social media accounts contained images of guns, other fighters and posts about how Roble felt blessed to be in “sham” — a term for a territory that includes Syria. Wilbur Fluegel, the attorney who represented Roble in the bridge collapse litigation, said he doesn’t know what Roble has been doing, saying he last worked with him in 2009. Fluegel could not reveal how much money Roble has received, citing confidentiality clauses. But in that 2009 order, a judge approved a $53,500 settlement from the state of Minnesota to be invested in an annuity to pay Roble a lump sum of $65,431.22 on his 18th birthday.

Feds expect more Atlantic tropical storms this year By JENNIFER KAY
FORECAST CHALLENGES
Associated Press
While they can’t predict whether any storm will strike the U.S., and more tropical storms are expected than in the last three years, NOAA officials said significant variables are at play. It’s unclear whether a decades-long high-activity era for Atlantic hurricanes has ended, said Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. Meanwhile, El NiĂąo is dissipating while La NiĂąa looms for the season’s peak from August through October. El NiĂąo is the natural warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide. That tends to reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic, while La NiĂąa tends to increase it. The active storm era associated with warm Atlantic temperatures and stronger West African monsoons began in 1995, but recent hurricane seasons showed shifts toward a cooler phase marked by colder waters and a weaker monsoon, Bell said. Each era can last 25 to 40 years, and it might take years to determine whether the transition has happened, Bell said. The last transition to a less active hurricane era happened in the 1970s, without the data and computer models that forecasters have now. “We’re watching it for the first time with very new
MIAMI — U.S. government forecasters expect a near-normal Atlantic hurricane season, after three relatively slow years. But they also say climate conditions that influence storm development are making it difficult to predict how many hurricanes and tropical storms will arise over the next six months. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s outlook Friday called for a near-normal season with 10 to 16 named storms, with four to eight hurricanes and one to four “major� ones with winds reaching 111 mph and up. The long-term season averages are 12 named storms, with six hurricanes and three major ones. The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts Wednesday, but tropical weather got a head-start this year: Hurricane Alex made an unseasonable debut in January over the far eastern Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center says an area of low pressure between Bermuda and the Bahamas had a high chance of brewing into something bigger this weekend. Hurricane hunter aircraft will investigate the disturbance, and communities along the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas should monitor its development, said NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan.

eyes,� Sullivan said.
2015 TALLY The 2015 season was slightly below average with 11 named storms, including two tropical storms that made landfall and caused flooding in South Carolina and Texas. Hurricane Joaquin, one of two storms to reach major hurricane strength, killed all 33 mariners aboard a cargo ship that sank off the Bahamas in October. During U.S. Coast Guard investigative hearings this month into the sinking of the El Faro, one federal investigator characterized the disaster as “a colossal failure� of management. Initial forecasts for Joaquin also were wildly inaccurate. Sullivan said NOAA is on track to meet storm track and intensity forecast improvement goals, and a new weather satellite launching this fall will produce much sharper images of hurricanes and other severe weather.
MAJOR DAMAGE In the Bahamas, Joaquin caused over $60 million in damage, according to the hurricane center. The islands reported widespread flooding that contaminated drinking water, cut off an airport and swamped a local fishing fleet. Even “minor� storms can leave misery behind. After Tropical Storm Erika swept through the Caribbean last year, damage estimates on the island of Dominica ranged up to $500 million for homes, roads, bridges and infrastructure, and Puerto Rico reported $17.4 million in agricultural losses for plantains, bananas and coffee. The Northeast was wracked by catastrophic flooding, first from Hurricane Irene in 2011 and again from superstorm Sandy in 2012. Damage es-

Rising sea levels are expected to increase the vulnerability of coastal communities to flooding from tropical systems. Recent research indicates climate change is likely to make hurricanes more intense in the future. Improved computer models show that warming atmospheric conditions may hinder tropical cyclone development worldwide, says David Nolan, a University of Miami professor of atmospheric sciences.

storm surge and rainfall flooding combine for threequarters of all U.S. deaths from hurricanes, tropical storms or tropical depressions.
The last major hurricane to strike the U.S. mainland was Hurricane Wilma, which cut across Florida in 2005. Wind speeds, not damage estimates, determine whether a hurricane is classified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;majorâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Category 3 and up on the hurricane wind scale . Since 2005, the population in the 185 coastline counties most threatened by hurricanes has grown 8.7 percent to 59.2 million people, according to U.S. Census estimates. Overall, 143.6 million people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 44.7 percent of the U.S. population â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Maine to Texas could be living in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way.

A-bomb survivors feel doubt, wonder Continued from Page 1 stone monument that honors the 140,000 who died from the Aug. 6, 1945, bombing to a museum that tells the stories of some of those dead, about 200 yards away. People stood patiently, inching forward and waiting for their chance to take pictures of the wreath Obama had left behind. People around Hiroshima were still talking about their glimpses of Obama as they lined the streets to watch his motorcade speed by or watched the media coverage that documented near-
ly every single moment of the two hours he spent in Hiroshima in a carefully choreographed political performance meant to close old wounds without inflaming new passions. Beneath the thrill that lingered from Obama’s star power, there was also a widespread desire to keep momentum going. “We should not let President Obama’s Hiroshima visit be just a ceremony,” the left-leaning Mainichi newspaper said in an editorial today. “He will be in office only eight more months. We
hope the president will use the remaining time effectively to take concrete steps to leave a political legacy that will pave the way for a world without nuclear weapons.” Some anti-nuclear activists worry that Obama’s Hiroshima speech could turn out like his 2009 speech in Prague that helped secure him a Nobel Peace Prize: After the buzz dies down, there will be a return to business as usual. “The world needs more than words,” Derek Johnson, executive director of Global Zero, an anti-nu-
clear group, said in a statement. “President Obama must take urgent action to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons being used again.” In an interview at the retirement home she shares with other bomb victims, Tsuyako Hiramatsu, 90, flipped through the pages of a book with a photograph of smiling young World War II pilots holding a puppy on its cover. She marveled at Obama’s political and military power, but said she had seen too many Japanese
leaders who have said one thing in public and another in private to believe that there will ever be a world without war. Since Obama received the Nobel for his anti-nuclear agenda, he has seen uneven progress and criticism over plans for a big, costly program to upgrade U.S. nuclear stockpiles. Another bomb survivor, Michiko Kimoto, 87, also had doubts that Obama’s visit would ever lead to a world without nuclear weapons. “You can never tell how people’s minds work,” she
said. One of the two survivors who met directly with Obama, 91-year-old Sunao Tsuboi, was more optimistic. Tsuboi, like some other survivors, thought Obama had spent too little time in Hiroshima to fully understand the extent of the tragedy. But Obama’s presidency, he told reporters, has pushed the world “a step or two forward” to the goal of nuclear disarmament. “I think he has the strong leadership abilities to make it happen,” he said.
Cellphone study raises concerns Verizon, unions reach deal
Continued from Page 1 could potentially impact human health” but notes that it doesn’t quite address real risk to people. “If cellphones cause cancer, they don’t cause a lot of cancer,” he said in an interview. “It’s not as carcinogenic as beef.” He said people should be far more concerned about “distraction caused by cellphone,’” which he said causes more deaths. Both Brawley and Bucher said this would not change how they use their own personal cellphones. While the study found what Bucher called a likely cause of cancer in rats, he cautioned that how that applies to humans “is not currently completely worked out. This may have relevance. It may have no relevance,” he said. Since about 1986, U.S. brain cancer deaths have not increased or decreased, Brawley said. That suggests that whatever effect cellphones may have it is so small as to be undetectable amid regular cases of brain cancer. Also, Brawley and others
point out that cellphone technology has improved so much in recent years to emit less radiation than medical studies simulate. Bucher said the levels the rats were subjected to would be considered “heavy.” The study also found a slight increase in a very rare type of heart tumors in the male rats exposed to cellphone radiation. The same NIH scientists looked at mice, but those results won’t be ready until next year. Some of the study’s own reviewers had trouble accepting the results because of the odd factors, such as rats in the group that wasn’t exposed didn’t contract what would be the normal number of brain tumors for that population. “I am unable to accept the authors’ conclusions,” wrote outside reviewer Dr. Michael Lauer, deputy director of NIH’s office of extramural research. “I suspect that this experiment is substantially underpowered and that the few positive results found reflect
false positive findings.” The fact that the rats exposed to radiation survived longer than those that weren’t “leaves me even more skeptical of the authors’ claims,” Lauer wrote. Four other study reviewers — three from NIH — also raised questions about the way the study was conducted and its conclusions. Bucher said he couldn’t explain that strange factor, nor could he explain why females were not affected. Brawley said it could be the female hormone estrogen is offering some cancer protection as has been seen in some other cancers. George Gray, a risk and environmental health expert at the George Washington University School of Public Health, said one key part of the study is not the data itself, but how it is being interpreted. And he said the study seems to focus on the small increase in tumors in males, not the absence of them in females “and does not reveal the level of scientific uncertainty in applying these
data to people using their phones.” If people are truly worried, they should use Bluetooth or headsets, Brawley said. In 2011, a working group of the International Agency for Research on Cancer said cellphones are possibly carcinogenic. But numerous studies over the years, before and after that listing, have found little evidence of a problem. Among the largest, a survey of 13,000 people in 13 countries found little or no risk of brain tumors, with a possible link in the heaviest users that the study’s authors found inconclusive. And a large Danish study that linked phone bills to a cancer registry found no risk even in longtime users. Gray said a study like this needs to stand up to challenge and fit in with other research. “This is a high profile topic that hits close to home for most of us,” Gray said in an email. “It is really important to realize that a single study like this does not provide ‘the answer.’”
Police identify 4 wanted in gang rape By RENATA BRITO and PETER PRENGAMAN Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Police said Friday that they have identified and are searching for four of the more than 30 men suspected in the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl, a case that has rocked Latin America’s largest nation and highlighted its endemic problem of violence against women. The announcement came as acting President Michel Temer called an emergency meeting of the security ministers for each of Brazil’s states to consider gender-related crimes. “It’s absurd that in the 21st century we have to live with barbarous crimes like this,” Temer said in a statement. He promised to create a federal police force unit tasked with tackling crimes against women. The assault came to light after several men joked about the attack online, posting graphic photos and videos of the unconscious, naked teen on Twitter. Police also asked for the public’s help to track down the four men and identify the others. Local reports said more than 800 people had called a hotline that was set up to share information. Authorities say the rape happened May 21 while the girl was visiting her boyfriend in the São João shantytown on the west side of Rio de Janeiro. “I want them to await the justice of God. I feel like

A WOMAN wearing a female gender symbol attended a protest Friday against the gang rape of a 16-year-old in Rio de Janeiro. trash,” the 16-year-old said in brief comments to O Globo newspaper. “It’s the stigma that hurts me the most. It is as if people are saying ‘it’s her fault. She was using scanty clothes.’ I want people to know that it is not the woman’s fault. You can’t blame a robbery victim, for being robbed.” At a news conference Friday, police said the girl reported being raped by 33 men and regaining consciousness the following day. Police said they had been unable to confirm exactly how many men may have taken part. Rio police chief Fernando Veloso said at a news conference that investigators will review forensic evidence and seek to interview the suspects. “If these images hadn’t been posted, maybe we wouldn’t be here right now,” said Veloso, adding
that many rapes go unreported. The girl’s 19-year-old boyfriend was one of the men being sought, but police said they did not know whether he may have been one of the attackers. Police said the men were armed, though it wasn’t clear if the weapons were used to intimidate the girl during the attack. Guns are common in Rio’s drug- and violenceplagued slums, as are reprisal killings. When asked by reporters if the girl’s life might be in danger for reporting the incident, Veloso responded: “That would be a subjective answer. Who isn’t at risk in Rio de Janeiro?” The images began circulating earlier this week. Danusia Thomaz, a 41year-old resident of Alemão, another large slum in Rio, said a friend
sent her the video via Whatsapp and she immediately feared for her 21year-old daughter. “When I watched the video, I said to myself, ‘My God, what is this?’” said Thomaz, the president of a local residents’ association. “I couldn’t finish watching it. I don’t know how a human being is capable of doing that.” Brazil, a conservative, majority-Catholic nation of 200 million people, has long struggled to curb violence against women. A study by the Brazilian Center for Latin American Studies found that between 1980 and 2010, more than 92,000 women were killed in crimes related to gender, involving incidents from rape to domestic abuse. Last year, when Congress passed legislation sharply increasing punishments for violence against women, President Dilma Rousseff noted that 15 women were killed per day in Brazil simply “for a question of gender.” The shocking case comes as Brazil is suffering its worst economic crisis since the 1930s and Rio prepares to host the Summer Olympics in August. Yawning deficits and billions of dollars being dedicated to building Olympic venues have translated into sharp cuts to public services, including policing. This year the state of Rio de Janeiro has cut about $550 million from its security budget, about 20 percent compared to last year.
Continued from Page 1 the agreement is a “victory for working families” and that there will be new union jobs at Verizon. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Verizon released a statement saying it’s pleased with the agreement, which has “meaningful changes and enhancements” that will make its wireline business more competitive. The deal does include a first contract for Verizon wireless employees, says the CWA. It applies to about 165 workers in six wireless
stores in Brooklyn, N.Y., and one store in Massachusetts. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez said Friday that the agreement is being written and will be submitted for approval by union members, and he expects workers back on the job next week. The workers had been working without a contract since last August. New York-based Verizon Communications Inc. and the unions have been negotiating at the Department of Labor for the past 13 days, Perez said. Verizon Communications Inc. shares rose 46 cents to $50.62. They are up 2 percent over the past year.
Family welcomes its sixth generation Continued from Page 1 she’s lived for about 60 years. Her husband, Russell, passed in 1997. All but one of her children are still living. Her son Ronald passed away at age 62 during surgery in 2006. Lindsey’s oldest son, Russell, himself had three children. One of them is Sandra Dennison, whose son is Jeremy, and his daughter, Natasha, is the mother of baby Leon. Each year the family holds their reunion at the community center in Brush Valley since there are so many of them, she said. They still gather at her home for Christmas, but no longer for a meal since it was a “standing room only” affair. Still, they “fill the cellar up” with gifts each year for the family, Russell Lindsey said. He also stashes about 100 eggs in the yard

Trump no longer wants to debate Sanders By Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Republican Donald Trump says he’s not interested in debating Democrat Bernie Sanders after all. The billionaire mogul, who had previously said he’d “love to debate” the Vermont senator, said in a statement Friday that he’s now decided a one-onone showdown between the pair would be “inappropriate,” despite interest from television networks. “Now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second-place finisher,” Trump said of Sanders, who is trailing front-runner
Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination. “As much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders,” Trump added, “I will wait to debate the first-place finisher in the Democratic Party.” Sanders responded with a statement Friday, saying: “In recent days, Donald Trump has said he wants to debate, he doesn’t want to debate, he wants to debate and, now, he doesn’t want to debate. “I hope that he changes his mind once again and comes on board.” Trump first expressed interest in debating Sanders during a taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” earlier this week.

Bucs snap Hamels’ streak By SCHUYLER DIXON
PIRATES 9, RANGERS 1
AP Sports Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas — Clint Hurdle and his Pittsburgh players and coaches tipped their caps as a show of respect toward Jeff Banister before the Texas manager’s first game against the organization he called home for 29 years. Then the Pirates went to work. Jonathon Niese outpitched Cole Hamels with six strong innings, ending the left-hander’s career-best winning streak at 12 games in Pittsburgh’s 9-1 interleague victory over the Rangers on Friday night. “I’ve been working hard between
games, and it’s been showing in games,” said Niese, who has a 2.45 ERA in his last four starts. “I know I have it in me, but in my sides in between games I was able to work on the mechanical part of it.” Andrew McCutchen had one of four home runs for the Pirates, who won their fifth straight and spoiled Banister’s first game against them after leaving the only franchise he had known — as a player, coach and instructor at all levels — to become the Rangers’ manager last season. “It’s a game,” Banister said after the loss, his mood not quite as jolly as during batting practice when he shared hugs,
handshakes and laughs all around. “National anthem is over, it was ready to play. It’s still another club. Good club. Gotta play well. That’s it.” Hamels (5-1) gave up eight hits and six runs — five earned — in 4 2-3 innings, his shortest outing since the start before throwing a no-hitter in his final appearance for Philadelphia on July 25. He came to the Rangers in a trading deadline deal six days later. Niese (5-2) threw five shutout innings before Adrian Beltre’s leadoff homer in the sixth. The left-hander scattered seven hits with a walk and two strikeouts. Continued on Page 14

PIAA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Missions Accomplished Capitosti reaches new height
By IAN HARRISON Associated Press
By CARLY KROUSE ckrouse@indianagazette.net
SHIPPENSBURG — John Capitosti went into the PIAA Track and Field Championships with one thing in mind. He was set on reaching one goal — a height he had never reached before. The Homer-Center senior wanted to hit the 6-foot-6 mark in the high jump and tie the school record. And in front of a huge crowd at Shippensburg University on Friday, he did just that. Capitosti cleared 6-6 with ease in the Class AA finals to place third at the state meet with his career-best jump. “It was really exciting today,” he said. “That was my goal coming in. I knew if I could get JOHN 6-6, I’d have a shot CAPITOSTI at placing. And that’s what happened, so I was very happy and thankful for that. “The high jump is great because it’s such friendly competition between the athletes. Everyone is rooting for each other to get that next height because it pushes you even more. I thought everybody did pretty well today, and that’s why.” Capitosti’s third-place medal was icing on the cake to a memorable season for the Wildcats’ boys’ team. Homer-Center won the Heritage Conference and Indiana County team titles. “It makes it all worth the time you put in for years that we’ve been doing it,” he said. “I’m proud of our guys and the coaches and everybody who made it such an amazing season for us.” Capitosti also was slated to run with his teammates in the 1,600meter relay Friday, but the boys’ preliminaries in the event were canceled due to an impending thunderstorm. The relays will be run today as timed finals. Continued on Page 15

Beer finds redemption with medal By CARLY KROUSE ckrouse@indianagazette.net
SHIPPENSBURG — She wasn’t going to let it happen again. Ever since falling short of the javelin finals at last year’s PIAA Championships, Marion Center’s Hanna Beer hoped for a chance to redeem herself. On Friday, she got the opportunity and took advantage of it. Beer qualified for the finals on her last throw of the preliminary round HANNA BEER and went on to place fourth in the Class AA competition at the state track and field meet at Shippensburg University. She earned her medal with a throw of 135 feet, 4 inches. Continued on Page 15

TORONTO — LeBron James isn’t just going back to the NBA Finals. He’s returning with a team that’s healthy and whole, which makes this trip unlike last year. Maybe it will lead to a different result. James scored 33 points, Kevin Love had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 113-87 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night, winning the series 42. Kyrie Irving had 30 points and J.R. Smith added 15 for the Cavaliers, who will face the winner of the Golden State-Oklahoma City series beginning Thursday. Cleveland would open at home against the Thunder but would be on the road against the 73-win Warriors, who trail 3-2 against Oklahoma City heading into tonight’s Game 6. Last year, a depleted Cavs team lost in six games to the Warriors, left to wonder whether things would have worked out differently if Love (left shoulder) and Irving (left knee) had been at full strength. That’s not a concern this time around. “There’s definitely a different feeling,” said James, who was emotional during his postgame interview on the court. “I didn’t appreciate last year, myself personally, getting to the finals. So much was going on in my mind, knowing that Kev was out for the rest of the season and knowing that Ky was dealing with injuries all the way from the first round. Having these guys right here at full strength, having our team at full strength and the way I feel personalContinued on Page 17
Sharks, Pens feature lots of speed, depth By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Sports Writer
It will be speed vs. speed in the Stanley Cup final between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins. San Jose got through the Western Conference the same way Pittsburgh got through the East: with plenty of depth and speed to kill. The final will feature the three top playoff scorers in the Sharks’ Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns against
Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. “It’s going to be fast hockey,” Crosby said after the Penguins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the East final Thursday night. “Two teams that want to play the exact same way, that want to get their D involved (and) their power play is really dangerous. ... It’s going to be quite the series.”
The Sharks are in the Cup final for the first time in their 24-season franchise history and in Peter DeBoer’s first year as coach. The Penguins are back for the first time since winning it all in 2009 and made it after Mike Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston as coach in December. In his first meeting with them, Sullivan challenged his players to be great and told them that’s how they win in the NHL. They’ve won in the
playoffs on the strength of scoring from Crosby and speedy wingers Phil Kessel, Carl Hagelin and Game 7 hero Bryan Rust, not to mention the goaltending of 22-year-old rookie Matt Murray. Kessel is Pittsburgh’s leading scorer with 18 points on nine goals and nine assists after coming over from the Toronto Maple Leafs in a trade last summer. “I don’t think you could dream about that. You never could expect this,” Kessel said. “This is a Continued on Page 17

FRANK FRANKLIN II/Associated Press
Garcia quiets Washington’s offense By The Associated Press Stephen Piscotty hit a grand slam off Max Scherzer during a five-run third inning and Jaime Garcia quieted the Washington Nationals lineup as the St. Louis Cardinals won 6-2 on Friday night. Coming off consecutive ineffective starts, Garcia (4-4) held Washington to two runs and seven hits over seven innings. Scherzer (5-4) allowed two earned runs in each of his previous three starts including his 20-strikeout gem on May 11 in a victory over Detroit. That version didn’t show early against St. Louis. He walked four batters and allowed five runs, all by the third inning. Danny Espinosa’s second home run in as many games broke up Garcia’s shutout bid in the fifth. Bryce Harper went 1-for-4 after hitting the go-ahead home run in Washington’s 2-1 series-opening win Thursday. Greg Garcia homered for St. Louis. METS 6, DODGERS 5: Curtis Granderson homered leading off the bottom of the ninth to give New York the victory over Los Angeles. Chase Utley, who was booed all night in his return to Citi Field, hit a tying three-run double off Jeurys Familia with two outs in a four-run ninth inning for the Dodgers. New York took a 3-0 lead in the first against Julio Urias and chased the 19-year-old after 2 2-3 innings in his major league debut. But in a non-save situation, Familia (2-0) failed to hold a 5-1 lead. New York moved back into the NL East lead, by percentage points over Washington. CUBS 6, PHILLIES 2: Jorge Soler, David Ross and Kris Bryant hit long home runs to back Jon Lester and lead Chicago to a victory over Philadelphia on a rainy afternoon. The big drives helped the Cubs win their third straight after dropping eight of 12, and they came before two late delays — for 56 minutes in the top of the seventh inning and for 37 minutes at the start of the ninth. Soler broke a 1-1 tie with his shot halfway up the video board in left leading off the fourth. Ross added a three-run homer off the Nuveen sign beyond the left-field bleachers to give the Cubs a 5-1 lead, and Bryant chased Adam Morgan (1-3) with a towering shot to start the fifth. Lester (5-3) rebounded from his shortest start of the season by giving up two runs — one earned — and six hits while pitching into the seventh. BRAVES 4, MARLINS 2: Nick Markakis hit a tie-breaking, tworun single off third baseman Martin Prado’s glove with two outs and the bases loaded in the eighth inning to
give Atlanta a rare home win over Miami. The Braves snapped a four-game losing streak and improved to only 3-20 in home games. They began the day tied with Minnesota for the majors’ worst record. Ian Krol (1-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning and Arodys Vizcaino pitched the ninth for his sixth save in seven chances. Only an overturned call kept the eighth inning alive and made the decisive at-bat by Markakis possible. His liner off David Phelps (3-3) was initially ruled an error on Prado before it was changed to a hit. BREWERS 9, REDS 5: Aaron Hill hit two solo homers, Jonathan Lucroy added a solo shot and drove in three runs, and Milwaukee outslugged Cincinnati, handing the Reds their 11th straight loss. The Brewers chipped away at an early three-run deficit before surging ahead with a four-run fourth. Hill homered to left off John Lamb (0-3) to lead off the inning, and Lucroy capped the scoring with an RBI ground-rule double. Hill’s second homer came in the fifth off reliever Dayan Diaz for a three-run lead. Hill and Jonathan Villar both had three hits, two runs and two RBIs to support starter Zach Davies (2-3). ROCKIES 5, GIANTS 2: Tyler Chatwood threw seven masterful innings, Charlie Blackmon had one of Colorado’s three run-scoring doubles and the Rockies beat San Francisco to end the Giants’ 10-game winning streak against NL West teams. It was San Francisco’s longest streak versus the division since capturing 10 straight in August 1982. Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story had RBI doubles in a game that was delayed 42 minutes at the start by weather. San Francisco starter Matt Cain left in the second inning with a strained right hamstring. He was replaced by Albert Suarez (1-1), who took a grounder off the left leg in the third but stayed in the game. Chatwood (6-3) found success at Coors Field after being so dominant on the road. He scattered four hits, walked none and allowed one unearned run. PADRES 10, DIAMONDBACKS 3: Yangervis Solarte homered from both sides of the plate and San Diego used 18 hits to rout Arizona and snap a four-game losing streak. Matt Kemp and Derek Norris each hit a home run and drove in three, and Wil Myers added an RBI double for the Padres, who won for just the third time in their past 11 games. Christian Friedrich (1-1) threw seven shutout innings, allowing three hits with five strikeouts and a walk for San Diego.
Arizona starter Robbie Ray (2-4) lasted only 4 2-3 innings, allowing five runs and nine hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. Brandon Drury and Jake Lamb homered for Arizona, which has dropped four straight. AMERICAN LEAGUE ROYALS 7, WHITE SOX 5: Eric Hosmer had three hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs as Kansas City rallied to beat Chicago. The White Sox used five pitchers in the Royals’ four-run seventh with Matt Albers (1-4) taking the loss. The inning included Brett Eibner’s double, his first major league hit, and Whit Merrifield’s two-run single. Royals starter Danny Duffy retired the first 16 batters he faced on 59 pitches before giving up five runs on his next 17 pitches. Peter Moylan (2-0) picked up the victory with a scoreless seventh. ANGELS 7, ASTROS 2: Mike Trout had a three-run double and Albert Pujols hit a two-run homer in a big third inning to help Los Angeles beat Houston. The home run was the 570th of Pujols’ career, moving him past Rafael Palmeiro and alone into 12th on baseball’s all-time list. Pujols is now three behind Harmon Killebrew for 11th. Matt Shoemaker (3-5) struck out 11 without walking a batter, holding the Astros to seven hits, all singles. He left after allowing two hits with one out in the ninth. Cam Bedrosian gave up a two-run single to Colin Moran. Right-hander Matt Fiers (3-3) took the loss. BLUE JAYS 7, RED SOX 5: Josh Donaldson hit two home runs and drove in five runs as Toronto snapped a five-game home losing streak with a win over Boston. The reigning AL MVP was 4-for-5, starting the scoring with a first-inning solo shot, and then providing the winning margin with a two-run drive, his 13th of the year in the eighth. Justin Smoak added a solo shot in the fifth inning. Joe Biagini (2-1) got four outs and Roberto Osuna pitched the ninth for his 11th save. Koji Uehara (2-2) worked the eighth inning for the Red Sox, allowing Ezequiel Carrera — starting for the suspended Jose Bautista — to reach on a bunt before surrendering the home run to Donaldson. YANKEES 4, RAYS 1: Alex Rodriguez homered for the first time since coming off the disabled list and Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven shutout innings for New York in a win over Tampa Bay. Rodriguez returned Thursday after missing three weeks with a strained right hamstring. His sixth homer of the season and 693rd overall came off Chris Archer dur-
ing a three-run sixth. Tanaka (3-0) scattered two hits and struck out four to run his career-best unbeaten streak to 11 consecutive starts, dating to last season. Kirby Yates allowed Steve Pearce’s two-out solo homer in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman got the final out. Carlos Beltran homered in the eighth for the Yankees. Archer (3-6) allowed four runs — one earned — and four hits in eight innings for the Rays. ORIOLES 6, INDIANS 4: Chris Davis’ RBI double broke a seventh-inning tie, Manny Machado went 4-for-5 and Baltimore ended a four-game losing streak with a win over Cleveland. Mark Trumbo followed Davis’ clutch hit with a two-run homer, his AL-leading 15th of the season, and a lineup tweak by Orioles manager Buck Showalter woke up a slumbering offense that scored nine runs in its losing streak. Dylan Bundy (1-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for his first major league win. Zach Britton pitched a perfect ninth for 13th save. Cleveland scored in the second, fourth and fifth to tie the game, but Machado doubled off Zach McAllister (2-2). TIGERS 4, ATHLETICS 1: Nick Castellanos homered and Cameron Maybin doubled in a run, giving rookie Michael Fulmer more than enough support in Detroit’s victory over Oakland. James McCann and J.D. Martinez also drove in runs for the Tigers, who have won nine of 11. Ian Kinsler was a home run shy of the cycle. Fulmer (4-1) retired 14 of the first 15 batters he faced, with Khris Davis’ single with two outs in the second inning the only smudge of an otherwise dominating performance. He gave up three hits over 7 2-3 innings, walking one and striking out three. A’s starter Sean Manaea (1-3) gave up three runs on nine hits in sixplus innings. TWINS 7, MARINERS 2: Robbie Grossman’s bases-loaded double keyed a five-run third inning and Pat Dean pitched effectively for seven innings for his first major league victory to pace Minnesota past Seattle. Dean (1-1) allowed two runs on four hits and struck out eight and walked none in his second start and fourth appearance since being called up May 11. Seattle ace Felix Hernandez (4-4), who entered with a 2.21 ERA, was tagged for six runs on eight hits in six innings. Miguel Sano and Joe Mauer each had solo homers for the Twins, while Franklin Gutierrez homered for Seattle in the first inning.
Bucs snap Hamels’ streak in win over Texas Continued from Page 13 “He’s working and developing,” Hurdle said. “The delivery’s repeating itself. He’s physically getting in a good place.” Hamels was trying to set the Rangers’ franchise record for consecutive victories, a mark he will share with Bobby Witt from 1990, while also giving the first glimpse of the potential top of the Texas rotation a night before right-hander Yu Darvish’s return from Tommy John surgery. Instead, he gave up two homers, walked two and hit a pair of batters in his first loss in eight decisions at Globe Life Park and just his second regular-season defeat since joining the Rangers. Hamels had the second-longest winning streak in the majors behind Jake Arietta of the Cubs. “If you pitch long enough, you’re
going to have games like this,” Hamels said after allowing a season high in runs. “You’re going to have good games, bad games, a ton of games in between. You just kind of move forth and try to plug away again.” Jung Ho Kang, Pittsburgh’s designated hitter, hit an opposite-field three-run homer to right in a fiverun fifth that blossomed when six of the last eight hitters faced by Hamels reached base after a throwing error by first baseman Mitch Moreland. Starling Marte, who had three hits along with David Freese, and Gregory Polanco also homered for the Pirates. Freese is on his second team and now five years removed from the ninth-inning triple that tied Game 6 of the 2011 World Series for St. Louis when the Rangers were a
strike away from winning the championship. The Cardinals won the final two games for the title. Texas fans still remember. They booed Freese each time the Pirates third baseman came to the plate. Kang matched his season high with three RBIs and has homered in consecutive road games. He has six homers overall. All four of Pittsburgh’s games with at least four homers this season have come on the road. Today’s Pirates starter, right-hander Juan Nicasio (4-3, 4.46), had his last start cut short by a rain delay after one inning. He won his only career start against the Rangers while with Colorado, allowing one run in five innings with five walks in a 12-1 victory for the Rockies. For the Rangers, Darvish makes
his first major league start since Aug. 9, 2014. Darvish missed the end of the 2014 season with right elbow inflammation and had more issues while making just one spring appearance last year before undergoing elbow surgery. He had a 0.90 ERA in five rehab outings this month. NOTES: Marte was checked out after getting hit on his left foot by a pitch from Hamels in the fifth. He hopped part of the way to first base after deciding to stay in, but then sprinted to third on a single from Josh Harrison. … Rangers center fielder Ian Desmond and right fielder Nomar Mazara stayed in the game after a nasty collision in the gap on a fly ball from Kang that fell for a single. Mazara stayed down longer than Desmond, who did a flying twist as he fell but popped up quickly.
Bryce Molder had a one-stroke lead with three holes to play Friday in the second round at Colonial when play was suspended because of darkness. At 9 under, Molder was a stroke ahead of Webb Simpson and two in front of second-ranked Jordan Spieth and Patrik Reed. Simpson and Spieth completed their second rounds at the Dean & Deluca Invitational. Simpson was 8 under after a 67. Spieth shot a 66 with four birdies in five holes after turning to the front nine. Reed had 10 holes left. He has a PGA Tour-high eight top-10 finishes this season. The start was delayed 5½ hours after thunderstorms overnight that lingered into the morning. When the first groups teed off early in the afternoon, the sky was clearing and became bright and sunny. Play was stopped at 8:21 p.m. time with 61 of the 121 players still on the course. They will return to complete the second round Saturday morning. Molder was the firstround leader after an opening 64 with six birdies on the front nine at Hogan’s Alley. He had five more birdies on that side Friday. CHAMPIONS: Rocco Mediate stretched his Senior PGA Championship lead to four strokes at Harbor Shores, birdieing the final two holes for a 5-under 66. Mediate had a 14under 128 total, four strokes better than the previous tournament record set by Sam Snead in 1973 and matched by Arnold Palmer in 1984 and Jack Nicklaus in 1991. On Friday, Mediate started play on the 10th tee and birdied the par-4 16th and 18th. He added birdies on the par-5 fifth, par-4 eighth and par-5 ninth, leaving an eagle putt an inch short on the last, to reach 14-under 128. He has two PGA Tour Champions victories after winning six times on the PGA Tour. Gene Sauers was second, closing with a bogey for a 69. Bernhard Langer birdied three of his last four holes in a 64 to reach 9 under in his bid to become the first player to win all five senior majors. The 58-year-old German won the Regions Tradition last week in Alabama for his sixth senior major title and 100th worldwide victory. LPGA: Ariya Jutanugarn remained in position for her third straight LPGA Tour victory, shooting a 4-under 68 to take a twoshot lead in the Volvik Championship. Jutanugarn had four back-nine birdies, including No. 18 when her approach went off a hospitality suite and landed in a greenside bunker 20 yards from the hole. Her sand shot set her up for a short putt that pushed her to 11-under 133 at Travis Pointe. So Yeon Ryu (67), Marina Alex (67) and firstround leader Christina Kim (71) were tied for second. PGA EUROPEAN: Masters champion Danny Willett had six birdies in a tournament-record 29 on the front nine at the BMW PGA Championship and shot a 4under 68 for a share of the lead. Australia’s Scott Hend eagled the final hole for a 69, and South Korea’s Y.E. Yang also had a 69 to match Willett at 10under 134 at Wentworth in the European Tour’s flagship event.

Cunkelman finished in 4 minutes, 48.77 seconds and 2:06.45, respectively, but didn’t qualify for the finals in either event. He was the District 6 champion in the 800. “It’s still fun, and it’s great to be here, but there is no tomorrow for me,” he said. “I would’ve liked to have done a little better.” A big story of Day 1 of the PIAA Championships was the weather. Before the rain moved in, the sun was blazing, the temperature was close to 90 and humidity was thick, making it difficult for many athletes. Ryan Butz of Purchase Line said the
weather — and the competition — was hot. “It’s really, really hot,” he said. “But everyone is running in the same conditions.” Butz ran in the 400 and in the 3,200 relay with teammates Nathan Moore, Micah Kurka and Logan White. Butz finished the 400 in 52.35 seconds but came up short of a spot in the finals. The relay team didn’t advance either, running an 8:36.95. Butz won the District 6 title in the 400. “For the relay team, I kind of expected us to make it to states, but for the 400, I never would’ve thought I’d get this far,” Butz said. “It’s all very exciting. Seeing how many people are here and getting all this exposure is just awesome. It’s a great crowd and a lot of good competition. It makes you
work harder.” Capitosti said the atmosphere makes the state meet so special. “It definitely motivates you, having that big crowd,” he said. “There’s a lot of people watching you and rooting for you and rooting the other kids on. It’s unlike anything else.” Purchase Line’s Sam Stanford (javelin, 157-10) and Saltsburg’s Jerry Moore (discus, 129-1) failed to qualify for finals in their field events. Also competing Friday were Marion Center’s David Wiles (1,600, 4:53.39) and the Ligonier Valley boys’ 400 relay team of Zach Beitel, Josh Fitz, Alex Marsh and Jackson Daugherty (45.03). In Class AAA, Punxsutawney’s Jared Manners competed in the triple jump (42-0½ inch) and Matthew Wehrle raced in the 800 (2:06.94).
Beer gains redemption in javelin Continued from Page 13 “I’m really happy with fourth place,” Beer said. “Last year, I choked and did terrible, so this is a great step.” Since then, Beer has signed a national letter of intent to throw javelin at Division I Bucknell University. She was the lone area girls’ athlete up for a medal Friday. She was the fourth seed entering the event. “I was just focused on keeping myself calm and not getting worked up,” Beer said. “In the prelims, I was tense. I knew on my last throw that I needed to give it all I got to get to the finals or it could’ve been the last throw of my high school career. Luckily, it was enough, and this is a good feeling.” Beer wasn’t the only Marion Center athlete looking for redemption. Taya Whitfield also came up short at the 2015 meet and has medal aspirations this year — just in a different event. She qualified in the 1,600-meter run Friday for today’s finals with a time of 5 minutes, 13.69 seconds. She was the District 6 champion in the event. No track medals were awarded Friday because only preliminary races took place. “We both placed ninth last year, so our goal this year was to medal,” Whitfield said of herself and Beer. “She already placed in the javelin, and now it’s my turn, I hope.” Whitfield, a junior, also qualified for the state meet in the 800 (2:29.42), but didn’t advance to the finals. She ran the 800 at last year’s championships. “It’s a little bit more comfortable because this is my third time here,” she said. “It’s just a different event because I’ve never raced the 1,600 at states. But I was really hoping to qualify in the 1,600 because that’s been my event all year.” Another local athlete to compete in
SHIPPENSBURG — Jordan Geist went into the PIAA Track and Field Championships on Friday afternoon with one goal in mind — to break the state record in the Class AAA boys’ shot put. It was certainly a realistic goal for the Knoch High School junior. Geist was seeded nearly 15 feet ahead of the field and more than two feet farther than the state record of 70 feet. He delivered. On his very first throw of the competition, Geist hurled the shot put 74-3, which was more than enough for a gold medal and a new state standard. The throw is also the top in the nation this year. “Today, the main goal was definitely to hit the state record,” Geist said. “As far as the competition — the thing I like to do is give them 10 feet onto their throws. So, second place today,

MICHAELA BRACKEN advanced to today’s semifinals in the 100 hurdles and the finals in the 300 hurdles. two events Friday was United’s Michaela Bracken, who qualified in the 100- and the 300-meter hurdles. Bracken, a sophomore who won both events at the District 6 meet, advanced to the semifinals in 100s and the finals in the 300s. Bracken ran the 100 hurdles in 15.46 seconds and finished third in her heat. She went into the 300 hurdles as the sixth seed and finished in 46.08. “My goal today was to just do the best I could, and considering the conditions, I think I did OK,” Bracken said. “I’m running with the best today, so I’m trying to use it to my advantage. I’m trying to push myself.” Pushing through was difficult for runners on Friday due to extreme heat and humidity. After the sun beat down for hours, a storm began to roll in
right before the final event of the day — the 1,600-meter relay. Marion Center completed in its heat in the girls’ Class AA race, but the rest of the preliminaries were canceled, and the event will be run today as timed finals. The Stingers finished in 4:15.58, which wasn’t good enough to advance to the finals. The relay team was made up of Bailey Cribbs, Madison Vincent, Mariah Sinan and Emily Risinger. Cribbs ran in place of Whitfield. “It’s really nice to have more than just a couple athletes from your team competing,” Whitfield said. “It’s fun, and we root for each other. We came in with some goals, and we definitely hit some of them today.” Punxsutawney’s Sam Dyson also competed Friday. She finished 20th in the Class AAA shot put (36-5½).
in my opinion, was about 68 feet (rather than 58). That just helps me push myself a little bit more.” Geist didn’t need a whole lot of help. Although he fouled on two of his throws, all six of his attempts were farther than 70 feet, and his record throw of 74-3 actually cleared the pit at Shippensburg University, which measures to just over 73 feet. “I know there are kids all throughout the country that have a target on my back,” Geist said. “Kids in California and Texas are throwing 71 feet, really just trying to push me harder. Hopefully I can get them both at the national meet,” he said. Although there weren’t any finals on the track on Day 1 of the championships, there were plenty of gold medal winners in the field. On the boys’ side, Jake Wilson of Laurel won the Class AA javelin (1953), Brandon Sparr of Schuylkill Valley
eked out a narrow win the Class AA long jump (23-9½), Ravaugh Diller of Gettysburg won the Class AAA triple jump (48-7), and Hickory’s Evan Blaire had a dominating win in the Class AA discus (184-4). The girls’ side featured much closer competitions. Emily Stauffer of Cocalico was the most dominating victor, earning a win in the Class AAA shot put with a throw of 45-3¼. But her 8-inch victory wasn’t even close to some of the other female winners. The top four Class AAA pole vaulters cleared 12-6, but Greer Gumbrecht of Easton won on clears. Athens’ Breana Gambrell won the Class AA long jump with a mark of 19-3¾, less than 3 inches farther than the runner-up. Evelyn Berecz of Downingtown East took first in the Class AAA triple jump (39-5½), 3 inches ahead of the second-place jumper.
Shoemaker stays on early roll at 4-1 By The Indiana Gazette Shoemaker Funeral Home banged out six extra-base hits and improved to 4-1 by easing past Indiana Lions, 13-4, in an Indiana County Youth Legion baseball game Friday at WyoTech Park. Winning pitcher Brent Ratkus struck out two and walked three in 4 1-3 innings to pick up the win. Ratkus also went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple. Tyler Moran went 3-for-3 with a double for Shoemaker Funeral Home. Lucas Platt went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, and Brady Furman singled, doubled and scored two runs. Nick Hrebik struck out three and walked none in one inning of scoreless relief. For Indiana Lions, Ewing Greenhill and Anthony Lubold each went 2-for3 with a double, and Clark Josephson went 2-for-3. Both teams play Wednesday. Shoemaker Funeral Home plays host to Young Township, and Indiana Lions travels to Clymer Legion. CLYMER LEGION 16, S.W. JACK 10: Clymer Legion capitalized on host S.W. Jack’s fielding woes and lack of control on the mound, scoring six runs in each of the first and sixth innings to cruise to a win. Clymer Legion was leading 10-4 before plating six runs on three hits, four walks and an error in the top of the sixth to take a 16-4 lead.

Braves’ Olivera accepts suspension ATLANTA (AP) — The Braves’ dismal season took another turn for the worse Thursday when outfielder Hector Olivera agreed to accept a suspension through Aug. 1 for his arrest on domestic violence charges. The suspension, announced by commissioner Rob Manfred, is without pay and covers 82 games, retroactive to April 30. Olivera was arrested April 13 at a hotel outside Washington, D.C., charged with assault and battery of a woman and he was immediately placed on leave. Agreeing with the police report filed in Arlington, Virginia, Manfred’s office finished an investigation that concluded Olivera was responsible for visible bruises on the woman’s body. A police spokeswoman said at the time that Olivera and the woman were acquainted. Losing the 31-year-old Olivera was a big blow to the Braves, who have the second-worst record in the majors and rank last in homers, RBIs and runs scored.
Navy pair can defer military service ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced Friday that former Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds and fullback Chris Swain can defer their military service to play in the NFL. Carter made the announcement during his graduation speech to the academy in Annapolis. As students cheered the news about their graduating classmates, Carter said: “Go get’em.” Reynolds was drafted in the sixth round by the Baltimore Ravens. He is the NCAA’s career leader in touchdowns and finished his career with 88 TDs and 31 touchdown passes while leading Navy’s triple-option offense. The Ravens plan to use him as a running back, receiver and kick returner. Swain has signed with the San Diego Chargers. Ravens general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome applauded the decision, calling it “good news,” and congratulating Reynolds on his graduation.
Kessel left off World Cup roster UNDATED (AP) — Twotime Olympic forward Phil Kessel failed to make the final cut for the United States’ World Cup of Hockey roster Friday, a day after helping the Pittsburgh Penguins reach the Stanley Cup Final. In passing over the 10year NHL veteran, Team USA officials filled the final four forward spots with Columbus’ Brandon Dubinsky, Toronto’s James van Riemsdyk, Tampa Bay’s Ryan Callahan and St. Louis captain David Backes. The remaining defense spots went to Colorado’s Erik Johnson, Columbus’ Jack Johnson and Washington’s Matt Niskanen. The seven additions announced Friday filled out a 23-player roster competing in the eight-team tournament in Toronto in September. Kessel was left off despite a postseason in which he’s leading the Penguins with nine goals and 18 points. At the 2014 Sochi Games, the U.S. finished fourth with Kessel scoring a team-leading five goals and eight points. Other notables missing the cut were Ottawa forward Bobby Ryan and St. Louis defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk.
Messi makes rare exit due to injury BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentine soccer superstar Lionel Messi left the field with a back injury in the second half of a 1-0 victory over Honduras in a friendly Friday night. The Argentine team captain and Barcelona star was hit on an apparently inconsequential play and immediately went to the locker room. He was replaced at the 62-minute mark by Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega and never returned to the field. Messi is not a player who leaves the field with minor injuries.

Nadal pulls out of French Open By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer
PARIS — For a decade, Rafael Nadal ruled Roland Garros the way no other man has dominated any Grand Slam site. On Friday, his powerful left wrist wrapped in a blue brace, Nadal delivered the surprising news he was withdrawing before his third-round match at the French Open because of an injury that would prevent him from delivering the whiplike, spin-heavy forehand that carried him to a record nine championships and a 72-2 record on the tournament’s red clay. “To win the tournament, I need five more matches,” Nadal said, his face expressionless, his arms crossed in front of him, “and the doctor says that’s 100 percent impossible.” His announcement, at what he called “one of the toughest press conferences in my career,” overshadowed everything else going on around the grounds on Day 6 of the French Open, from the straight-set victories by defending champion Stan Wawrinka and No. 2seeded Andy Murray, to the out-ofnowhere 6-0, 6-7 (3), 6-0 upset of twotime Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova by 108th-ranked Shelby Rogers, a 23year-old American. No. 15 John Isner, the last U.S. man in the field, found out about Nadal’s abrupt departure about 15 minutes after winning a five-setter to set up a showdown with Murray for a berth in the quarterfinals. “It was a shock,” Isner said. “I had no idea.” It robbed the event of more star power, coming a week after 17-time major champion Roger Federer pulled because of lingering back problems. It cleared one potential obstacle from the path of No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who is attempting to win a fourth consecutive major title and his first in Paris — and could have faced Nadal in the semifinals. And it raised more questions about how long Nadal, who turns 30 in a week, can continue to play his intensely physical brand of tennis and remain among the sport’s best. In the past, he has dealt with problems to both knees and to his right wrist; this is the first time his left wrist has been an issue. “I mean, it’s a bummer for the tournament,” Isner said. “I think a lot of people had him playing Novak in the semis on that side of the draw. It’s a shame.” He knows he’ll have his own work cut out for him against Murray, a two-time major champion who has won all five of their previous matchups. Other fourthrounders established Friday were No. 3 Wawrinka against No. 22 Viktor Troicki, No. 5 Kei Nishikori against No. 9 Richard Gasquet, and No. 8 Milos Raonic against unseeded Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Women’s fourth-round matches will be Rogers against No. 25 Irina-Camelia Begu, No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska
against unseeded Tsvetana Pironkova, No. 4 Garbine Muguruza against No. 13 Svetlana Kuznetsova, and No. 6 Simona Halep against No. 21 Sam Stosur. Kuznetsova won the tournament in 2009; Halep and Stosur have both been runner-up. Nadal won the French Open four times in a row from 2005-08, then another five straight from 2010-14. His only losses came against Robin Soderling in 2009, snapping a 31-match winning streak at Roland Garros, and against Djokovic last year, ending a 39match run. Nadal, owner of 14 Grand Slam titles overall, said the wrist pain first developed during a match on clay in Madrid this month, then subsided, before growing worse this week. Nadal got a painkilling injection before his secondround victory Thursday, but by the time he awoke Friday, he couldn’t move his wrist and went for an MRI exam. “He did not practice this morning, so I figured there was a problem,” tournament director Guy Forget said. When Forget got a phone call from a member of Nadal’s entourage, he knew for certain something was wrong. Nadal’s exit means the man who was supposed to be his next opponent, Marcel Granollers of Spain, gets a walkover into the fourth round; win that, and Granollers will reach his first quarterfinal in 35 appearances at majors. “Unfortunately, it is happening right now and it is impacting the tournament. It’s impacting you and me,” Forget said. “I think we’re all conscious that he is one of our best ambassadors. Unfortunately, what counts now is health.” Nadal said the injury involves an inflamed tendon and might not require surgery if he rests the wrist. But he can’t practice for the time being and is not sure what his status will be for Wimbledon, where play begins in one month. “Now is a tough moment,” Nadal said, “but (it) is not the end.” Today, Dominic Thiem prevailed in a duel of rising tennis stars, downing teenager Alexander Zverev 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. The 13th-seeded Thiem equaled his best result at a major tournament after reaching the round of 16 at the U.S. Open in 2014. It was the third time that Thiem and Zverev faced each other in four weeks, with Thiem extending his winning record to 3-0. Thiem’s next opponent will be Marcel Granollers, who advanced without playing thanks to Nadal’s withdrawal. Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 champion, is out of the tournament. The 14th-seeded Serb lost 6-4, 6-4 to No. 18 Elina Svitolina in the third round after struggling with her serve throughout. Ivanovic managed to hold just three times when serving and got broken seven times by her Ukrainian rival. Svitolina, who made it to the quarterfinals in Paris last year, had only managed to win a single set against Ivanovic in their seven previous meetings.
Cup finals feature speed, depth Continued from Page 13 huge moment in my career and my life.” San Jose is also rolling along thanks to a summer pickup in goaltender Martin Jones, who was the Los Angeles Kings’ backup when they won the Cup in 2014. Couture, Pavelski and Burns are piling up the points, but this run is about aging veterans Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau finally breaking through. Thornton and Marleau, the top two picks in the 1997 draft, made the playoffs together with the Sharks in nine of 10 previous seasons but had yet to make the Cup final. Crosby and Malkin made it twice, losing in 2008 to the Detroit Red Wings before winning the following season. At the time, it looked like the young core that also featured defenseman Kris
Letang would challenge for the Cup every year. Now they have a chance to add to their legacy, but it won’t be easy even with home-ice advantage in the series that starts Monday night in Pittsburgh. The Sharks are the Penguins’ deepest opponent yet. “The Penguins should expect a team that’s deeper, quicker than Tampa, and a team that’s playing with a lot of confidence,” NBC Sports analyst Ed Olczyk said. Confidence isn’t lacking for either team. The Sharks knocked off the Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues to get here, and the Penguins beat the New York Rangers, Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals and defending East champion Lightning.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Thunder won’t say they have to win Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors tonight to win the Western Conference finals. The alternative is less than ideal. Win at home tonight and Oklahoma City will advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. Lose and the Thunder will be forced to play Game 7 in Oakland. The defending champion Warriors have lost three home games all season. Thunder coach Billy Donovan said his players don’t need to get ahead of themselves worrying about results. “We’ve got to play the 48 minutes (tonight),” Donovan said Friday. “That’s really what it comes down to. You can get caught up in thinking about the future and what the results mean at the end of the game. But the bottom line is the result at the end of the game will happen, and what you don’t want to do is be focused on the result and forget to do your job during the course of 48 minutes.” Oklahoma City has done the job at home in the series. The Thunder won Game 3 133-105, tying a franchise record for points scored in a playoff game. The Thunder came back with more of the same in Game 4, a 118-94 blowout that put the defending champion Warriors on the
brink of elimination. The Warriors know it’s going to take something special to produce a different result at the arena known as Loud City tonight. “It will take all of our IQ, all of our gamesmanship, and just 48 great minutes to get a win down there, considering how the last two games have gone,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. The Warriors saved their season with a 120-111 win Thursday night in Oakland. There’s still hope that they can defend their title. “Our guys have had a spectacular run here the last two years,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “They’ve loved every second of it. They don’t want it to end, and no matter how you look at it, if you’re not the last team standing, it’s tough. It’s a disappointing way to go out. So we want to hang in there. We want to win the next two and get back to the finals.” Rebounding has been the best indicator in the series. In Oklahoma City’s three wins, the Thunder have outrebounded the Warriors. Golden State has won or tied in that category in both of its wins. The Thunder, the league’s top rebounding team in the regular season, need to take advantage of their size and depth. Golden State got a more typical effort from Curry on Thursday night after two subpar games in Oklahoma City. He scored 31 points on 9-for-20 shooting to fuel the victory.
James, Cavs going back to finals Continued from Page 13 ly, I appreciate this moment, to be able to be a part of it again.” Irving, who had battled knee injuries during his first postseason before breaking his kneecap late in Game 1 of last year’s finals, said he’s thankful for the opportunity to be a contributor this time around. “It just didn’t feel the same hobbling into the locker room, knowing that we were going to the finals but I wasn’t at full strength and Kev was out,” Irving said, recalling the Cavs’ East-clinching victory last year. “Thinking about the steps it took to get back to where we are now, I really have a true appreciation for these guys, my teammates and just a true appreciation of the journey.” Love and Irving struggled as the Cavs stumbled in Games 3 and 4 against Toronto, their only losses in 14 games this postseason. Both were back in form for runaway wins in Games 5 and 6. “We wouldn’t be at this point today, going to the finals, without those two,” James said. “Throughout the first three rounds, they’ve been the reason we’ve played at such a high level. They’ve accepted the
challenge. They wanted to get back to this moment.” James will be playing in his sixth consecutive finals, four of them with Miami. This time, however, he’s got perhaps his best shot to end Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought, the longest by any city with at least three professional teams. No Cleveland team has won it all since the Browns blanked Baltimore 27-0 to win the NFL championship in 1964. “This city has been craving a championship,” coach Tyronn Lue said. “We have the right team and we have the right talent.” James, who grew up in nearby Akron, is well aware of what a championship would mean to Cleveland. “I know our city deserves it, our fans deserve it,” James said. “But that gives us no sense of entitlement. We’ve still got to go out and get it. We’ve still got to go out and prove ourselves.” James will be the eighth player in NBA history to appear in six consecutive finals and the first who didn’t play for the Boston Celtics. It’s the third finals appearance in team history for the Cavaliers. Cleveland lost to Golden State in six games last year and got swept by San Antonio in 2007.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maya & Martyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aims to show variety still spice of life By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you doubt that Maya Rudolph and Martin Short are funny together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; indeed, a match made in heaven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just recall their memorable number on the 40th anniversary special for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Live.â&#x20AC;? Rudolph revived her uncanny impersonation of BeyoncĂŠ, resplendent in her lace bodysuit, her tresses billowing from a wind machine that threatened to blow Short offstage. Their duet was one of the highlights of the broadcast. Now these multitalented stars of TV and film have partnered for a six-week NBC run that promises to whip up the same level of hilarity. Debuting Tuesday at 10 p.m., right after the twohour season premiere of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maya & Martyâ&#x20AC;? is a variety show whose first outing will welcome guests Miley Cyrus, Larry David, Jimmy Fallon and Tom Hanks as well as series regular Kenan Thompson. A day before that first show would be taped one floor down in Studio 6A, the two hosts greeted a reporter in the conference room of their 30 Rockefeller Plaza offices as Rudolph, casual in jeans and an oxfordcloth shirt, pulled on a sweater against the overwrought air conditioning. Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, you gotta layer!â&#x20AC;? Associated Press: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be shedding that sweater when you go outside

Rudolph (laughing): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never leave this building!â&#x20AC;? Short (comfy in blue blazer, plaid shirt and jeans): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it warm today?â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be 90! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exceptionally gorgeous outside, which is still a treat for me. The beautiful thing about different seasons for someone from L.A. is â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;? Short (feigning impatience): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, yeah. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move on!â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry. I forgot I was talking to a Canadian.â&#x20AC;? AP: You both seem very composed for this to be the
day before you do your first show. Rudolph (with a slight shrug): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell, you want us to be nervous. But I think this is it.â&#x20AC;? Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long ago, I realized that to be nervous or scared did no good when I perform. So I zen myself into a state of great relaxation.â&#x20AC;? It turns out this easygoing twosome have known each other for a dozen years, but had never worked together until the â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? anniversary show in February 2015. They clicked. Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you find an immediate chem-
istry with somebody, like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known each other for many decades. Mama!â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dadda!â&#x20AC;? Soon after, they began talks with the network and Lorne Michaels (executive producer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? as well as the new series) about teaming up for a weekly TV show. Then, last summer, Short invited Rudolph and her husband, director Paul Thomas Anderson (â&#x20AC;&#x153;There Will Be Bloodâ&#x20AC;?), and their four children up to his cottage in Canada, along with some writers, to brainstorm.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Red Nose Day Specialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; raises $30M By SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Nose Day Specialâ&#x20AC;? mixed comedy and musical performances with heartfelt pleas for children in need, raising more than $30 million. Funds raised during the live variety show Thursday night will benefit childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charities around the SCOTT FOLEY world. The second annual charity telecast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; already a 25-year institution in the U.K. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; featured more than 60 celebriMAYIM BIALIK ties. Most appeared on preproduced video pieces, but Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Minnie Driver, Scott Foley, JANE LYNCH Mayim Bialik, Malin Akerman, Jane Lynch and Jay Pharaoh were among the stars manning the phones and appearing live on the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Girlâ&#x20AC;? star Lamorne Morris took several donor calls during the telecast, but acknowledged afterward that he could hardly hear what callers were saying. One pitched him a movie script, he said. Craig Ferguson hosted the live show on a soundstage at Universal Studios near Los Angeles. During commercial breaks, he implored the audience to laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not funny,â&#x20AC;? he said off-camera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re laughing to save lives.â&#x20AC;? The two-hour telecast included pre-taped performances by Elton John and Blake Shelton and videos of experiences Jack Black and Julia Roberts had with homeless and sick children. Ferguson joked off-camera that the celebrity phone banks looked â&#x20AC;&#x153;like the Scientology center.â&#x20AC;? Kunis, Kutcher and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Bang Theoryâ&#x20AC;? star Johnny Galecki were animated as they
answered calls and passed the phone handsets to each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got my first call!â&#x20AC;? declared a clearly pleased Kunis moments after the program started. Driver said she spoke with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lovely drunk person.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they donated
more than they intended,â&#x20AC;? she said. Stars appearing by video on the live special included Anna Kendrick, Margot Robbie, Sarah Silverman, Paul Rudd, Blake Griffin, Chris â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ludacrisâ&#x20AC;? Bridges and Tracy Morgan, who offered an updated retelling of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snow White.â&#x20AC;?

dock and drank Rum-andTing and talked about what the show might be.â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than Rum-and-Ting.â&#x20AC;? Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the creative process!â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And what we came away with was, we want work be a joy, with the best possible people.â&#x20AC;? Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;On our show, there will be singing and dancing and sketches and characters.â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entertainers! Or, as some like to call it: ham-bones!â&#x20AC;? Two years ago, Rudolph headlined a variety special on NBC, which allowed her to get her feet wet with what was a dream project. Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did it to show myself I could do it. I knew it was the next direction I wanted to go in.â&#x20AC;? Since then, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been waiting for the moment she could jump in all the way. But then, as now with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maya & Marty,â&#x20AC;? a bit of skepticism has greeted what she aims to do. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the term applied to it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;variety,â&#x20AC;? which many observers think of fondly (thanks to bygone classics like â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ed Sullivan Showâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carol Burnett Showâ&#x20AC;?), but others may consider passĂŠ (supporting this view: the Neil Patrick Harris â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Time Everâ&#x20AC;? variety show, which survived just one cycle last fall.) Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other people are more concerned about the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;varietyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; than we are. For some reason, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expectation that our show is meant to be something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen
before. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never gonna see what we saw before again. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna see what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing today: Marty and my show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; today!â&#x20AC;? Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to bring back a form, because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the variety form ever went away: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are variety shows. (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tonight Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; host) Jimmy Fallon does a full-fledged variety show every night.â&#x20AC;? AP: Yes, but can a variety show stand on its own without an element of competition, or a talk-showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s couch and sofa? Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like when the sitcom was considered dead. Then Bill Cosby created a hit show (his legendary â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Cosby Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in 1984) that was a sitcom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, by the way, was really wellwritten and (well)-acted. Suddenly: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We were wrong! The sitcom is back!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? AP: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Every faded program genre is just one hit away from a comeback. Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our show has a good shot. But I never assume when I start something that, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I bet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna be on for eight years. Or, I bet this is gonna win the Oscarrrrrr!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If our show is a success, fantastic! And if not, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do just six shows. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine.â&#x20AC;? Rudolph: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But do you think there is a possibility that we might win an Oscar from this?â&#x20AC;? Short: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could win a Daytime Oscar.â&#x20AC;? Rudolph (all smiles): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like one of those on my mantel!â&#x20AC;?

Depp ordered to stay away from estranged wife By ANTHONY McCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — A judge ordered Johnny Depp to stay away from estranged wife Amber Heard after she accused the Oscar-nominated actor of repeatedly hitting her during a recent fight and leaving her face bruised. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carl H. Moor also ruled that Depp shouldn’t try to contact Heard until a hearing is conducted on June 17. Heard said in a sworn declaration that Depp threw her cellphone at her during a fight May 21, striking her cheek and eye. She submitted a picture of her bruised face when she applied for a restraining order Friday. She also wrote that the actor pulled her hair, screamed at her and repeat-

edly hit her and violently grabbed her face. She appeared at a Los Angeles court on Friday and had a bruise on her right cheek below the eye. Los Angeles police responded to Depp and Heard’s residence May 21, but were asked by the person reporting domestic violence not to take a report and did not provide evidence. “Officers’ investigation determined that a crime did not occur,” Los Angeles police officer Aareon Jefferson said Friday. Heard’s filing alleges a history of abuse throughout her relationship with Depp, which started after they met on the set of the 2011 film “The Rum Diary.” “During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me,” Heard wrote. “I endured excessive
emotional, verbal and physical abuse from Johnny, which has included angry, hostile, humiliating and threatening assaults to me whenever I questioned his authority or disagreed with him.” The restraining order was issued on the day Depp’s latest film, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” opened in theaters. A Walt Disney Pictures spokesman declined comment on Heard’s allegations. Heard’s filing Friday said the actor was high and drunk when the alleged abuse occurred. “I live in fear that Johnny will return to (our house) unannounced to terrorize me, physically and emotionally,” Heard wrote in a sworn declaration. She also submitted a declaration from a friend who wrote that she shot pictures of Heard’s
bruised face shortly after Depp left. Moor rejected Heard’s request that Depp attend a year’s worth of anger management classes and the protective order extend to her dog, a Yorkshire terrier named Pistol. The status of the couple’s other dog, Boo, was not immediately known. (The dogs received worldwide publicity last year when Heard brought them into Australia without proper documentation. Heard and Depp released an awkward video last month apologizing for the action.) Heard’s Friday filing states the fight was preceded by an incident in April in which the actor skipped her birthday party and showed up later high and drunk and pushed her to the floor. After that incident, Heard wrote
she did not see the actor for another month. Moor did not conduct a hearing on Heard’s requests, and she waited for the judge’s ruling in an office where a member of her private security team stood guard. She emerged from the courthouse into a crush of photographers who mobbed the modelactress and her attorney, at times blocking their paths to a waiting vehicle. The filing came five days after Heard filed for divorce. Depp’s attorney, Laura Wasser, declined to comment. Depp is in Portugal for a performance with his band Hollywood Vampires. Wasser wrote in a court filing that Depp was out of the country and would agree to a mutual stayaway order.
Teen’s friendship with older man draws fire DEAR ABBY: My 18-yearold daughter, a junior in high school, is still living at home. She has befriended a 51-yearold man at her first job (a burger place). We have told her that although she is kind to be friendly with him at work, we feel it’s inappropriate to do things with him outside of work. She’s now upset with us and claims we “don’t understand,” “nothing romantic is going on” and she thinks of him like a “second father.” Although they have not gotten together yet outside of work, she announced last weekend that she was going to meet him for lunch.
We put our foot down and told her no way, and she was forbidden to borrow either of our vehicles to go. (She doesn’t have her own car yet.) She relented, but how can we convince her that this is a bad idea with the world the way it is nowadays? I have suggested to her father (with whom my daughter has a close relationship) that he speak to this man one on one. My husband feels this is something she has to learn for herself. She’s very naive. What do you think? — MOM OF A TEEN DEAR MOM: Frankly, I think your husband is right.
While you may wish to protect your daughter, she’s an adult now. People learn more life lessons from experience than they do from lectures. DEAR ABBY: I am 11 years old and having some big bully blues. There is one girl in my class who steals friends. She’s been taking mine. Any advice? — BULLIED IN GEORGIA DEAR BULLIED: Yes, I do. This may not be bullying in the physical sense, but losing a friend can be painful. It is important that you realize that people aren’t inanimate objects that can be “owned” or “stolen.” Much as we might wish it, relationships do not always
stay the same. Friendships can be stronger at times and weaker at others, and people sometimes drift from one close friendship to another. When this happens, regard it as an opportunity, because that’s what it is. It’s a chance for you to get involved in activities that will expose you to new people and offer you a way to make new friends. DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine and his wife invited me out to dinner and I graciously thanked them. They are both employed. I live strictly on Social Security and pay 30 percent of my income for rent, barely making
ends meet. I wanted to reciprocate, so I invited them over for a homecooked meal. My friend came, but his wife is shy and didn’t come. (I had a couple of other friends over.) If someone wants to reciprocate being taken out for dinner, isn’t it acceptable to invite them over for a homecooked meal or must they be taken out? — TENTATIVE HOST IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR TENTATIVE: No rule of etiquette dictates that you must take your guests out to dinner. Inviting them for a homecooked meal was both gracious and appropriate.
TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press Today is Saturday, May 28, the 149th day of 2016. There are 217 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 28, 1934, the Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne — were born to Elzire Dionne at the family farm in Ontario. On this date: In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn valid. In 1892, the Sierra Club was organized in San Francisco. In 1912, the Senate Commerce Committee issued its report on the Titanic disaster that cited a “state of absolute unpreparedness,” improperly tested safety equipment and an “indifference to danger” as some of the causes of an “unnecessary tragedy.” In 1929, the first all-color talking picture, “On with the Show!”, produced by Warner Bros., opened in New York. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed a button in Washington signaling that vehicular traffic could begin crossing the just-opened Golden Gate Bridge in California. Neville Chamberlain became prime minister of Britain. In 1940, during World War II, the Belgian army surrendered to invading German forces. In 1945, the novel “Brideshead Revisited” by Evelyn Waugh was pub-
lished in London by Chapman & Hall. In 1959, the U.S. Army launched Able, a rhesus monkey, and Baker, a squirrel monkey, aboard a Jupiter missile for a suborbital flight which both primates survived. In 1961, Amnesty International had its beginnings with the publication of an article in the British newspaper The Observer, “The Forgotten Prisoners.” In 1977, 165 people were killed when fire raced through the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Ky. In 1985, David Jacobsen, director of the American University Hospital in Beirut was abducted by pro-Iranian kidnappers (he was freed 17 months later). In 1998, comic actor Phil Hartman of “Saturday Night Live” and “NewsRadio” fame was shot to death at his home in Encino, Calif., by his wife, Brynn, who then killed herself. Ten years ago: Pope Benedict XVI visited the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland as “a son of the German people” and asked God why he had remained silent during the “unprecedented mass crimes” of the Nazi Holocaust. Barry Bonds hit his 715th home run during the San Francisco Giants’ 6-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies to slip past Babe Ruth and pull in right behind Hank Aaron’s long-standing record of 755. Sam Hornish Jr. won the second-closest Indianapolis 500 ever, by 0.0635 seconds. Five years ago: President
Barack Obama praised Poland’s transition to democracy following a meeting in Warsaw with President Bronislaw Komorowski. After a four-year blockade, Egypt permanently opened the Gaza Strip’s main gateway to the outside world. North Korea freed Eddie Jun, an American it had held for half a year for reportedly proselytizing. One year ago: A federal grand jury indictment handed up in Chicago revealed that former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert had agreed to pay $3.5 million in hush money to keep an unidentified person silent about “prior misconduct” by the Illinois Republican. (Hastert later pleaded guilty to breaking banking law; prosecutors said the money was intended to conceal past sexual abuse against a student wrestler while Hastert was a high school teacher and coach.) Sepp Blatter defiantly resisted calls for him to resign as FIFA president and deflected blame for the massive bribery and corruption scandal engulfing soccer’s world governing body. For the second straight year, the Scripps National Spelling Bee ended with cochampions as Vanya Shivashankar and Gokul Venkatachalam were the last two standing. Today’s Birthdays: Rockabilly singer-musician Sonny Burgess is 87. Actress Carroll Baker is 85. Producer-director Irwin Winkler is 85. Actor John Karlen is 83. Basketball Hall of Famer

IS THE OPENING LEAD A FLIP OF A COIN? John Scalzi, a former president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell people the first time I decided to write a novel ... I basically flipped a coin to see if I was going to write science fiction or if I was going to do a crime novel.â&#x20AC;? Sounds a tad unlikely, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Similarly at the bridge table, you might be faced with a decision that seems to be no better than a coin toss, but usually there is a clue as to why you should choose heads rather than tails, or vice versa.

Look at the West hand in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagram. Should he lead the diamond eight (heads) or club eight (tails) against six hearts? In the auction, South was right to open two clubs with 10 winners, despite only 19 points. I also strongly approve of Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-spade response, showing at least a five-card suit and eight or more points, to tell partner that it is a slam deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two diamonds waitingâ&#x20AC;? is overused. When this deal was originally played, West led the diamond eight. South won, drew trumps using honors from his hand, and drove out the spade ace while dummy still had the heart ace as an entry. West commented that he was thinking about leading the spade ace, but that would not have been a good idea given Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response. West should have selected the club eight because East did not make a leaddirecting double of Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fivediamond Blackwood response, which he would have done with a good diamond holding. Occasionally, you should be guided by what partner didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do. COPYRIGHT: 2016, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

ASTROGRAPH ❂✵✪ ❂ Your Birthday SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2016 by Eugenia Last Choose your battles wisely and refrain from getting involved in argumentative groups.

Distance yourself from someone using emotional blackmail to get you to engage in questionable or unaffordable activities. CANCER (June 21July 22) — Let your creativity take charge. You can make positive alterations at home that will encourage others to drop by for a visit. Expand your interests and embrace change.

Celebrate your achievements with someone you love. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22) — Workrelated problems will ruin your day if you don’t focus on something else. Engage in an event that will give you plenty to think about regarding future prospects. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23) — Check out entertaining outings with a younger or older person in your life. Short trips or an interesting seminar will lead to positive personal change. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 22) — Your intuitive intelligence
