On Wednesday morning a group of hikers discovered an incoherent man on the Cross Mountain Trail on Lizard Head Pass. At the time it was unknown what was wrong with him and search and rescue crews were called to the scene, which was in Dolores County. According to San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters, the man was found non-verbal and refusing to get out of his tent. Masters said when Telluride medics and search and rescue crews arrived they found the man, later identified as Andy Baker, to be combative, which was concerning. Masters said eventually Baker had to be cut out of his tent and sedated in order to be transported off the mountain via ATV.

POLICE SEEK OWNER OF ABANDONED PROSTHETIC LEG
Police in one western Pennsylvania borough are working on an unusual lost-and-found case involving a prosthetic leg. Glassport police Lt. Ron Benoit tells KDKA-TV that investigators haven’t been able to determine whether the artificial limb was lost or stolen since a motorist found it lying along a road June 21. Police know the limb’s serial number and say it was manufactured by Hanger Inc., a leading manufacturer of prosthetics. NEW JERSEY

Efforts to impose tougher rules have failed
FORT COLLINS MOVING TOWARD 10-CENT BAG FEES
The Fort Collins City Council has given initial approval to a 10-cent fee on disposable shopping bags. The Coloradoan reports that the city council approved the bagfee proposal on Tuesday. The ordinance would let grocers keep all revenue generated by the fee under the ordinance. They would be required to spend at least 50 percent of it to buy reusable bags to distribute to customers. The proposal passed 5-2. Similar rules in other cities have led to dramatic decreases in plastic bag use. Boulder has seen a 68 percent drop in disposable bag use since implementing a 10-cent fee in July 2013. And Breckenridge has seen a 40 to 50 percent reduction in disposable bags since 2012. DENVER

The Aspen Times reports the agency closed a scenic loop on the upper end of Maroon Lake last weekend. Wildlife managers have identified seven moose in the area. Officials with Colorado Parks and Wildlife say it’s a matter of time before a wildlife observer or a hiker with a dog provokes a moose attack. Mature cows and bulls weigh up to 1,200 pounds.

Colorado leaders seek gay-marriage resolution Want court to delay implementation until Supreme Court decides the issue By IVAN MORENO
D
Associated Press
ENVER (AP) — Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican Attorney General John Suthers asked a federal court Wednesday to issue an injunction declaring Colorado’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional. But they want the court to delay implementation of the ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court decides the issue. The filing highlights what has been tumultuous and fastmoving legal wrangling in the state since last week, when the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled in a Utah case that same-sex couples have the right
to marry. The ruling was put on hold pending appeal. Since then, Boulder County’s clerk has been issuing marriage licenses to gay couples over Suthers’ objections, and six couples filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Denver seeking to overturn the state’s ban. Hickenlooper and Suthers’ request for an injunction is in regards to the federal lawsuit filed by the six gay couples Tuesday, but there are also pending cases in Denver and Adams County, which were filed months ago. Although Hickenlooper and Suthers agree with the plaintiffs’ request for an injunction in the federal case, the plaintiffs do not want a stay.
“It’s time for Colorado to get in line with the tide of history and allow same-sex partners to marry,” said Mari Newman, the attorney for the couples in the federal case. Suthers’ office said he wants to resolve the question of gay marriage and avoid costly litigation. But while Hickenlooper and Suthers agree there should be an injunction and stay, they still disagree on same-sex marriage. Hickenlooper said he believes last week’s federal appeals court decision against Utah’s gay marriage ban was correct. Suthers does not, according to his court filing.

Raid at pot club raises questions Clubs are only for members who bring their own weed By SADIE GURMAN
D
Associated Press
ENVER (AP) — A police raid at an Amsterdam-style cannabis lounge in Denver has triggered a debate over where adults can smoke pot in a state that allows recreational marijuana consumption — but not in public. Denver police showed up last week at Maryjane’s Social Club, one of dozens of private potsmoking clubs in Colorado operating in a legal gray area. The officers handcuffed smokers, seized drug paraphernalia and ticketed the club’s owner for violating state law banning indoor cigarette smoking. Three people were cited for smoking in public. Colorado law prohibits recreational pot consumption “openly
and publicly or in a manner that endangers others.” And state lawmakers say that smoke-free laws also appear to ban indoor pot smoke-outs. But marijuana advocates argue the increasingly popular private pot dens are permissible because marijuana isn’t sold, nor is food or drink. Like Maryjane’s, the clubs are only for members, who bring their own weed. The officers entered Maryjane’s on Friday to investigate “illegal activity” — public marijuana consumption — when they issued the citations, department spokesman Sonny Jackson said. He said police are not targeting other private pot clubs but that all pot-related businesses, including private lounges, are under new scrutiny since recre-
ational sales began in Colorado in January. Kandice Moss, who was inside Maryjane’s at the time, said she recognized the plainclothes detectives because they had been inside the club before, posing as new members. One of them told her the club was a public place before they started issuing citations. “I asked, ‘Where is it safe?’” Moss said. “He said, ‘You’re legal to possess it and smoke it at home, and that’s it.” But Denver attorney Rob Corry, who represents one of those cited, said the club is private. It doesn’t advertise events, and it requires memberships to get in, even if to smoke there for just one night.

LBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Arizona’s largest city has gone four months without any measurable rain, and neighboring New Mexico is in the midst of four years of severe drought. But you’ll still see and hear fireworks sparkle and pop during the days around July 4, despite the dangerously high threat of wildfires. While some places in the West ban fireworks altogether, or greatly limit what you can light off when conditions are ripe for fire, other states are going in the opposite direction. Arizona actually loosened its restrictions this year and is now allowing residents of the two most populated cities to set off fireworks in the days around Independence Day, and an effort by the New Mexico governor to impose tougher rules during dry times has repeatedly fallen on deaf ears in the Legislature. Some lawmakers chalk it up to statehouse politics, while others say it’s politicians’ reluctance to impose more regulations and take away the cherished tradition of setting off fireworks, even in severe droughts. Phil Griego, a northern New Mexico rancher and a Democratic state senator, said the pastures around his village are so dry that the grass crunches under the hooves of horses and cattle when ranchers move the animals from one field to the next. Griego tried during this year’s legislative session to pass a measure that would have updated New Mexico’s fireworks laws to give cities and counties more authority to ban fireworks when fire danger is high. Political wrangling stalled the measure in the Democrat-controlled Senate despite bipartisan support from lawmakers, fire chiefs around the state and Republican Gov. Susan Martinez, who has been pushing since 2011 for changes to the law. “This is critical because I don’t think this drought and this situation we’re in right now is going to pass any time soon,” Griego said. “For this year, it’s done and over, but we’ve got to start working on next year. We’ve got to have protections. Look at the fires that are taking place now with just lightning strikes.” Arizona began allowing the sale and use of certain fireworks in 2010. This year, the state updated its laws to prohibit cities in Maricopa and Pima counties — which include Phoenix and Tucson — from banning the use of fireworks around the July 4 holiday. Previously, some cities in the area had banned fireworks, while others didn’t, resulting in much confusion.

Young, active war wounded pushing medical science Disabled veterans want to maintain active lifestyle By JULIE WATSON
S
Associated Press
AN DIEGO (AP) — The blood is not the most jarring part of the photograph taken shortly after the bomb blew off Marine Gunnery Sgt. Brian Meyer’s leg and hand. It’s his smile. The bomb technician had asked a team member to take the picture. He knew his defiance in the face of death would keep his comrades going and ease the torment caused by what they had witnessed. His attitude set the tone for the long journey the double amputee is taking along with nearly 2,000 troops who lost one or more limbs from combat injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s also pushing military medicine to find better ways to accommodate such a large population of young, severely disabled combat veterans who want to maintain an active lifestyle. Many wear out their prosthetic limbs in a matter of months doing everything from mountain climbing to running marathons. With survival rates reaching historic highs during the two wars, the Naval Health Research Center is launching a major, six-
year study on wounded warriors to track their quality of life and better understand the road to recovery. So far, 1,500 people have signed up for the Wounded Warrior Recovery Project study. The Navy aims to recruit 10,000. About 50,000 military personnel have been injured in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, with 16,000 hurt so severely that they likely would not have survived previous conflicts. Doctors say a positive attitude is key to recovery, so the study will also examine mental resilience and why some troops have it and others don’t. It will rely on Web-based, telephone and mailed surveys conducted every six months about mobility, ability to function and social activity. Researchers will also analyze military databases detailing clinical encounters with each service member injured while deployed. The study aims to provide one of the broadest reviews yet of how post 9-11 veterans with a variety of combat injuries are coping and enjoying life, and how much their quality of life impacts their long-term care.

Arthur approaches N.Carolina; vacationers head out By EMERY P. DALESIO
R
Associated Press
ODANTHE, N.C. (AP) — Arthur strengthened to a hurricane Thursday and threatened to give North Carolina a glancing blow on Independence Day, prompting thousands of vacationers and residents to leave parts of the state’s popular but flood-prone Outer Banks. Nichole Specht, 27, and Ryan Witman, 28, had pre-loaded their Honda CRV and left Hatteras Island at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, beating the expected traffic jam. The island was under an evacuation order, with no traffic allowed in. Officials asked an estimated 35,000 residents and travelers to leave through North Carolina Route 12, the only road on and off Hatteras. Specht and Witman found the road wide open for their return home to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Specht said her parents left their rental later, at 5 a.m., and also found clear sailing. “We were just saying we were really, really lucky this year that the weather was so great, and then this,” Specht said as she ended a two-week vacation that included scouting sites for the couple’s wedding next year. Forecasters expect Arthur to
whip past the Outer Banks — a 200-mile string of narrow barrier islands with about 57,000 permanent residents — on Friday without making landfall but still bringing rain, heavy winds, storm surge and dangerous rip tides. Before the storm hit, tourism officials had expected 250,000 people to travel to the Outer Banks for the holiday weekend. Gov. Pat McCrory warned people not to risk their safety by trying to salvage their picnics, barbecues and pre-paid beach cottage vacations. “Don’t put your stupid hat on,” McCrory said. The National Hurricane Center predicted Arthur would swipe the North Carolina coast early Friday with winds of up to 85 mph and then be off the coast of New England later in the day, eventually making landfall in Canada’s maritime provinces as a tropical storm. Outer Banks residents and out-of-town visitors who fail to evacuate ahead of the hurricane’s expected arrival should prepare for possibly getting stuck for several days without food, water or power, National Hurricane Center forecaster Stacy Stewart said Thursday.

FEDS BOOED IN CALIFORNIA AFTER MIGRANT STANDOFF M
URRIETA, Calif. (AP) — An overflow crowd in a Southern California community where protesters turned back Homeland Security busloads of immigrants gave a harsh reception to federal officials behind the decision to bring them to their city in the first place. Local politicians calling for secure borders proved far more popular with the crowd Wednesday night in Murrieta. “Send them back! Send the back!” the special-meeting crowd chanted, shouting down Chief Border Patrol Agent Paul Beeson after he took responsibility for transferring the Central American children and families to Murrieta from Texas, where the numbers are too much for facilities to handle. On Tuesday, the buses were rerouted an hour south to San Diego after they were met with flag-waving protesters in Murrieta.

protection. The event included a scenic hike through preserved acreage, speeches from individuals pivotal to the project’s success, and a formal lunch capped off with a celebratory cake. San Miguel County Commissioner Art Goodtimes waxed poetic about the jewel lands preserved by the efforts of so many, saying, “Ultimately the air is bare sunlight, where must be found, the lyric valuables.” Dozens were in attendance, including Sen. Michael Bennet [D.-Colo.]; representatives for U.S. Sen. Mark Udall [D.-Colo.] and Congressman Scott Tipton [R.-Colo], Colorado County Director of The Trust for Public Lands Tim Wohlgenant, San Miguel County Commissioners Goodtimes and Joan May, Ophir Town Manager Randy Barnes, U.S. Forest Service officials and various individuals involved with the project on many levels. “Standing here on a beautiful day like today, almost anyone would agree that the Forest Service acquisition of this land makes a lot of sense,” Barnes said. “Without doing this, these lands would be subject potentially to backcountry development, home construction, road construction that would crisscross these slopes and lead to fragmentation of habitat, making it much less attractive for people to come visit this location and recreate in the backcountry and spend their money in this county.”
The process began in 2002 when the previous landowner contacted the Trust for Public Land to explore preserving the land for public use. Many locals in Ophir supported this preservation effort as an attempt not only to keep the landscape pristine, but also to prevent “backcountry sprawl” from turning open spaces into roads and second homes that could harm the environment and impede access to stellar outdoor recreation. In his speech, Bennet noted the impressive and heroic collaboration between the town of Ophir and other government agencies. “You’ve set an example for us in Washington on how to collaborate,” Bennet said. “What is important is the statement you’ve made of your values. You are a beacon for those throughout Colorado and the country.” During the scheduled hike, there was a buzz as people shared with one another proud stories of how they were involved in the project. It was clear the group was thrilled to celebrate their collective achievement fittingly with a stroll through the woods under a blue bird sky adorned by mountain peaks, bright aspen groves and the headwaters of Howard Fork, which flows into the San Miguel River. The elation over preserving the space was palpable. “The Ophir Valley is not only very special, but it’s really important biologically,” May said. “To
get these mining claims into public land ownership will protect important riparian areas, animal habitat and plants, as well as the rural nature of Ophir. It’s taken over a dozen years so it’s definitely time to celebrate.” The event also included a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the federal government’s main program for protecting land around the nation. Support for the LWCF comes from offshore drilling funds, and Colorado congressional delegations have always supported its federal funding. The LWCF legislation expires soon unless action is taken by Congress to renew this groundbreaking environmental preservation program. Without the LWCF and Trust for Public Land, the Ophir Valley purchases might not have been possible. “We are here to celebrate the completion of an effort over a dozen years in the making,” Wohlgenant said. “It takes a lot of hands to make something like this happen, especially over such a long time. We should use this effort to serve as an example of some of the work that is happening all over the country under the offices of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. We must take action and be vocal in helping ensure its renewal in Congress. Even a small town like Ophir can make something big happen that resonates across the country.”

AMPALA, Uganda (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Uganda warned on Thursday of a specific threat by an unknown terrorist group to attack the country’s only international airport. The Entebbe International Airport could be attacked on Thursday between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. local time, the embassy said on its website, citing information obtained from Ugandan police. The statement urged U.S. citizens traveling through Entebbe around that time to “review their plans in light of this information.” There is a “continued threat of potential terrorist attacks in the country,” with targets ranging from nightclubs to government offices, the statement said.

other hospital in Albuquerque, N.M. “[At the time] we were still unaware of what was wrong with him,” Masters said. “They had to sedate him in order to bring him down the mountain. It turned out that he had high altitude cerebral edema, which is kind of unusual here. A lot of people have high altitude pulmonary edema. Basically, [HACE] is fluid in the brain that is caused by being at high altitude.” HACE is an acute mountain sickness condition where the brain swells with fluid and symp-
toms include disorientation, lethargy and nausea. It occurs when the body fails to acclimate to a higher altitude. Though it is unconfirmed, Masters said Baker is likely in his 40s and from Texas. When he was found he did not have identification on him. His wife, however, was later located in Telluride. Though the rescue was successful, it is relatively unusual for crews to have to sedate a patient. “The medics were really surprised with what was going on,” Masters said. “Now that we know the diagnosis it makes sense.
This HACE might cause an altered mental status. You’ve got this fluid on the brain and it causes [mental issues]. He was non-verbal, he understood commands, but could not speak. It almost has what we call strokeor seizure-like symptoms.” The area Baker was found in was at around 11,500 feet. Highaltitude rescues are common in the Telluride area. In early June a 60-year-old climber fell thousands of feet down the side of El Diente Peak, just south of Telluride. The man had serious injuries and was airlifted to Montrose.

They put together a smaller parade and instead of games and events, afterward there was a ski race in Tomboy Basin called Lunar Cup and a small music show in Town Park. The acoustic music show in the park featured a band named Fall Creek and the event would eventually evolve into the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Lunar Cup too would continue and with Van Fleet as the chairman of the first race, it took place on July 4, 1973 in Tomboy Basin. The Times reported the race was a success with 30 racers and surprisingly good snow. The race has continued, though it hasn’t been held in a couple of years. After the celebrations, the Times reported the most quiet and orderly fourth in years, and it quoted notorious Town Marshal Everett Morrow who said law enforcement was at least partially responsible. “We hit them hard and fast on the third,” Morrow told the Times, “and got rid of that bunch from Farmington.” Over the next two years, Greenback explained the town went through a number of political upheavals, and though the July 4 celebration had continued through 1975 it was canceled in 1976. Though most cities in the U.S. were eager to celebrate the bicentennial, Greenbank said many of Telluride’s leaders were concerned about rumors of biker gangs planning to return and cause chaos. “The old timers tried to cancel it in ’73, but couldn’t, then in ’76 the new town council was so afraid of the 200th anniversary that they canceled it,” Greenbank said. But by 1977 a full July 4 celebration took place, and in the years to come the parade, barbecue and other events were all restored. Though it might have been different from what it was in earlier years, the intent is the same and now the July 4 celebration typically draws up to around 10,000 people into town and it is one of summertime’s main events.

Thanks from the scouts DEAR EDITOR, Cub Scout Pack 500 and Boy Scout Troop 500 wish to thank the Telluride community for supporting our scouts this past year. We truly appreciate the local merchants opening their doors to us for tours and visits. We’re also very thankful for the community’s support of our two annual fundraisers — selling Cub Scout popcorn and Rotary Red Ball tickets. We’ve grown in leaps and bounds and now have 32 Scouts — 24 Cub Scouts and eight Boy Scouts — one who is attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Thanks to our seven great den leaders and parents who volunteered their time throughout the year. We couldn’t do it without you We’d also like to thank the following for their support and contributions: The Elks Lodge for serving as our charter organization, providing financial support and use of their facility, the Rotary Club for their continued support with sponsoring scouts and sending a Boy Scout to summer camp; The Daily Planet and KOTO for keeping the community aware of our scouting events and activities; Angel Baskets for allowing our scouts to donate their time and assist with a very worthy cause; the American Legion for encouraging our scout participation with the veterans and their events throughout the year; Parks & Recreation for encouraging the community to volunteer and assist with the Town’s Adopt-ARiver Trail program, which was a Cub Scout initiative. Our summer is busy with Cub Scout and Boy Scout camps and we’ll resume our regular meetings in the fall after school begins.
If you’re interested in getting involved, Cub Scouts are for boys in grades 1-5 and Boy Scouts are 6th grade and above. Thanks again for a great year.

NO MORE UNDERGROUND HOUSING DEAR TOWN COUNCIL, Please don’t approve any more underground windowless places for employees to live in. As tight as this housing market is, they sit empty. No one moves to Telluride to live underground. Yes, that’s what you did for Element 52 and the Ballard House, disturbing the water table for underground windowless housing. As far as I know Hotel Ajax is not asking for anything underground. Both the Ice House and Camels Garden have underground parking. Why is it necessary for the Town of Telluride to own the land under the proposed Science Center when it is someone else’s money building the science center? Most towns would be thrilled to have this diverse economy. DEAR THOM, Will “yes” ever be part of your vocabulary? DEAR MEDICAL BOARD, Lets do the math. In round numbers: The Town of Telluride is about 30 percent of the county’s population and the Mountain Village is about 20 percent. The remaining 50 percent of your pop-
ulation is in San Miguel County. Lawson Hill is by far the most central location to the hospital district’s population. Telluride is the closest to a maxed-out population so if indeed we are looking out 50 years then Telluride will become less than 30 percent. DEAR SCHOOL BOARD, If indeed we are running out of space for our students then you better grab a piece of land before it becomes any more difficult. I personally hope that the portion of the Pearl Property that was voted on to be developed becomes a new school. Let’s keep all the kids safe here in Telluride. DEAR DOLCI, Thank you for joining us here on East Colorado. May you continue to be hugely successful. DEAR RAY, Thank you for speaking in favor of a hotel on East Colorado as the manager of the only hotel left in Telluride. DEAR EDITOR, My 20-50 year vision for Telluride and our Regional Transportation and parking challenges is that it will be centrally located in Lawson Hill. A monorail could be built transporting visitors and locals alike viewing our beautiful Valley Floor on the way, think of all the visitors it would bring, minimizing pollution and traffic in the box canyon. Sincerely,
MICHELLE Y. DAVIS

Parnell says environmental field work and pipeline engineering have begun as part of a phase in which the parties are expected to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. There’s still no guarantee the mega-project will be built, but Parnell called the agreement and work underway a mark of significant progress.

ETROIT (AP) — Subaru is recalling more than 660,000 cars and SUVs because the brake lines can rust and leak fluid, and that can mean it will take longer to stop the vehicles. For about half the vehicles, it’s the second recall for the same problem. Affected are 2005 through 2009 Legacy and Outback, the 2008 through 2014 Impreza and the 2009 through 2013 Forester. It covers vehicles sold or registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear roads in the winter.

The company says in documents posted Thursday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that salty water can splash onto the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector, causing rust. If they leak fluid, it could take longer to stop the car and increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the lines and replace them if leaks are found. They’ll also apply anti-corrosion wax. No crashes or injuries have been reported due to the problem, and Subaru is taking the action as a precaution, spokesman Michael McHale said in an e-mail. About 274,000 Legacy and Outback vehicles were recalled for the same problem in March of last year.

law. Four years earlier, the corporations-as-people idea got another big boost when the court voted 5-4 to expand the free speech rights of businesses and labor unions by striking down limits on their political spending. That unleashed a massive flood of private money into political campaigns. The rulings have triggered renewed debate over the idea of corporations as people, which surfaces in legal cases stretching back to the 1880s. There are wonky legal discussions about the differences between “artificial persons” (corporations) and “natural persons” (the kind with flesh and blood). TV comics riff on the notion that fake people have more rights than real people. There’s a petition drive to amend the Constitution to ensure that “inalienable rights belong to human beings only.” All of this calls for a brief reality check: Corporations really aren’t people. Everyone knows this. Even Romney, who was criticized for being out of touch when he famously told a protester that “corporations are people, my friend.”
Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — There may be more to that “we the people” notion than you thought. These are boom times for the concept of “corporate personhood.” Corporations are people? Mitt Romney got mocked during the 2012 presidential campaign for the very idea. But it turns out the principle has been lurking in U.S. law for more than a century, and the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, gave it more oomph this week when it ruled that certain businesses are entitled to exercise religious rights, just as do people. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court’s majority, said protecting the religious rights of closely held corporations, which are often small, family-run businesses, “protects the religious liberty of the humans who own and control them.” In its ruling, the court said closely held corporations with religious objections cannot be forced to pay for their employees’ insurance coverage for contraception, as required under President Barack Obama’s health care

Dow tops 17,000 after strong jobs report By KEN SWEET
N
AP Markets Writer
EW YORK (AP) — A strong jobs report pushed up the stock market higher Thursday, with the Dow Jones industrial average crossing 17,000 for the first time. The Department of Labor said employers added 288,000 workers last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent. KEEPING SCORE: The Dow rose 69 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,044 as of 9:50 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose six points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,981. The Nasdaq composite rose 14 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,472. The major indexes closed at their latest all-time highs Wednesday following more signs that the U.S. economy is picking up. JOBS: The Labor Department’s report showed much stronger hiring in June than economists had forecast. The government also revised numbers up from previous months, saying employers added 217,000 workers in May and 304,000 in
April. Monthly job gains so far this year have averaged 230,833, up from 194,250 in 2013. EUROPE: Major European markets also rose. France’s CAC 40 rose 0.7 percent, while Germany’s DAX increased 0.8 percent. The FTSE 100 index of leading British companies gained 0.2 percent. GIVE A DOG A BONE: PetSmart, the pet supply chain, rose $7.88, or 13 percent, to $67.75 in early trading. Activist investor Jana Partners disclosed a 9.9 percent stake in the company. BONDS AND COMMODITIES: Investors sold bonds after the strong jobs report. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.67 percent from 2.63 percent late Wednesday. Bond yields rise when prices fall. The price of crude oil slipped 40 cents to $104.08 a barrel. HOLIDAY: U.S. markets closed at 1 p.m. Eastern time Thursday and will remained closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday.

WHERE THE VILLAGE HAPPENS
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
W
AP Economics Writer
ASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit fell in May as U.S. exports hit an all-time high, helped by a jump in exports of petroleum products. Imports dipped slightly. The trade deficit narrowed 5.6 percent in May to $44.4 billion after hitting a two-year high of $47 billion in April, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Exports of goods and services rose 1 percent to a record $195.5 billion in May while imports fell a slight 0.3 percent to $239.8 billion. A lower trade deficit boosts overall economic growth when it shows U.S. companies are earning more in their overseas sales. Economists are looking for a smaller trade deficit in the AprilJune quarter which will mean less of a drag on overall growth than in the first quarter, when the economy shrank at an annual rate of 2.9 percent. Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said he looked for the trade deficit to be just about half of the 1.5 percentage point drag it represented in the first quarter.
Many analysts are looking for overall growth to rebound to a healthy rate between 3 percent and 3.5 percent in the second quarter. In 2013, the trade deficit declined 11.3 percent to $476.4 billion. That reflected in part a boom in U.S. energy production that cut into America’s dependence on foreign oil while boosting U.S. petroleum exports to a record high. The larger trade gap in the first three months of this year, compared to the fourth quarter, shaved 1.5 percentage points from growth. That was a big factor in helping to push the economy into reverse. In addition to a higher trade deficit, the economy was held back by severe winter which dampened consumer spending. In May, the U.S. trade deficit with China rose 5.4 percent to $28.8 billion. Through the first five months of this year, America’s deficit with China is running 3.2 percent ahead of last year’s record pace. The rise in exports reflected record sales of U.S.-made autos and auto parts and an 11.3 percent jump in exports of U.S. petroleum products.

ECONOMY
U.S. services sector expands at slower pace in June By PAUL WISEMAN
W
AP Economics Writer
ASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. services firms expanded again last month but at a slightly slower pace than they did in May. Orders, exports and hiring grew faster in June. The Institute for Supply Management said Thursday that its service-sector index slipped to 56 last month, down from May’s 56.3 reading. Any figure above 50 indicates expansion, however. The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers. The services survey covers businesses that employ 90 percent of the workforce, including retail, construction, health care and financial services firms. Fourteen of 18 services industries expanded in June, led by construction. “Construction activity was particularly strong,” Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a research note. “This bodes well for the housing recovery, which has languished in recent
quarters.” The services index bounced back this spring after sliding to the lowest level in four years in February in the midst of a bitter winter that caused restaurants and stores to close at times across the country. The economy shrank at an annual pace 2.9 percent from January through March, but most economists blame the slump on temporary factors — the bad weather and a sharp drop in business inventories. The economy has shown signs of strength as the weather warmed. Economists expect growth to rebound to an annual pace of 3 percent or more for the rest of the year, boosted by rising consumer demand and a rebound in U.S. export sales. Adding to evidence the economy is gaining momentum, the Labor Department reported Thursday that employers added 288,000 jobs last month and unemployment fell to 6.1 percent, lowest since September 2008.

COUNTY IN MICHIGAN SEEKS MORE CANADIAN TRASH K ASSOCIATED PRESS
IMBALL TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A company likely will be helping St. Clair County find more Canadian trash to be sent into the U.S. for disposal at a Michigan landfill. St. Clair County commissioners on Wednesday took the first step in approving a three-year contract with Canadian company Enertec Inc., the Times Herald of Port Huron reports. The board will be asked to give the contract final approval on July 17. The trash would go to the Smiths Creek Sanitary Landfill in St. Clair County’s Kimball Township, about 50 miles northeast of Detroit. St. Clair County Administrator Bill Kauffman said four to six trucks a day currently bring trash from Ontario to the landfill. “This is a contract with a broker whose task is assisting us in finding Canadian waste,” Kauffman said. “The board said quite a few months ago it’s time to find Canadian waste.” Enertec gets 50 cents per ton of trash it brokers for the landfill. County chairman Jeff Bohm said the number of Canadian trash trucks on area roads isn’t near 2003 levels, when people complained about traffic heading to Michigan landfills. “We’re just not opening the floodgates so to speak, we’re looking at 12 trucks (a day) at a maximum,” Bohm said. Canadian trash makes up about 17 percent of garbage for Michigan landfills. Communities and businesses are paid for allowing Canadian trash to be sent to landfills in the state, and the state government also collects disposal fees.

U.S. hiring surges as unemployment dips to 6.1 pct. By JOSH BOAK
W
AP Economics Writer
ASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding a robust 288,000 jobs and helping drive the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008. It was the fifth straight monthly job gain above 200,000 — the best such stretch since the late 1990s tech boom. Over the past 12 months, the economy has added nearly 2.5 million jobs — an average of 208,000 a month, the fastest year-over-year pace since mid-2006. Thursday’s jobs report from the Labor Department made clear that the U.S. economy is moving steadily closer to full health after having shrunk at the start of the year. Growth is picking up even as many major economies in Europe and Asia continue to struggle. On Thursday, the European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged despite signs that the 18-country eurozone economy is losing momentum. June’s healthy U.S. job gain followed additions of 217,000 jobs in May and 304,000 in April, figures that were both revised
upward. Monthly job gains so far this year have averaged 230,833, up from 194,250 in 2013. Investors appeared pleased by the news. When stock markets opened Thursday, an hour after the government released the jobs report, the Dow Jones industrial average traded above 17,000 for first time. By 10 a.m., the Dow had risen about 65 points. The unemployment rate dipped last month from 6.3 percent in May to its lowest level since the financial crisis struck at full force in the fall of 2008 with the bankruptcy of the Wall Street firm Lehman Brothers. “Since February, this has now become a textbook jobs expansion,” said Patrick O’Keefe, director of economic research at the consultancy CohnReznick. “It is both broad and accelerating.” Economists say it’s too early to tell whether the steady U.S. job gains will fuel more purchases of goods from Asia and Europe and help strengthen their economies. Much of Europe is suffering from high unemployment. And China is trying to manage an economic slowdown and what analysts say was excessive investment in real estate.

AMAZON VOWS TO FIGHT FTC ON KIDS PURCHASES L
ASSOCIATED PRESS OS ANGELES (AP) — Amazon says that it is prepared to go to court against the Federal Trade Commission to defend itself against charges that it has not done enough to prevent children from making unauthorized in-app purchases. The FTC alleged in a draft lawsuit released by Amazon that unauthorized charges by children on Amazon tablets have amounted to millions of dollars. Seattle-based Amazon.com Inc. said in a letter Tuesday to FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez that it had already refunded money to parents who complained. It also said its parental controls go beyond what the FTC required from Apple when it imposed a $32.5 million fine on the company in January over a similar matter. Amazon’s Kindle Free Time app can limit how much time children spend on Kindle tablets as well as require a personal identification number for in-app purchases, said Amazon spokesman Craig Berman.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A majority of Californians are unhappy with income distribution in the state, but they are divided over whether the government should do more to intervene or further raise the minimum wage, according to a Field Poll released Wednesday. The survey found that 54 percent of California adults said they were dissatisfied with the wage and income gap, compared to 38 percent who said they were satisfied. The view is shared by similar numbers of Democrats and Republicans and across virtually all age, income and gender groups. People who call themselves political independents were more satisfied with income distribution than those who identified with either major party. Nearly six in 10 adults believe the gap between the wealthy and everyone else is growing. The findings come amid a national debate about low-wage workers and the widening income gap. In San Francisco, some residents have staged protests over rising rents, driven partly by a surge of wealthy hightech workers from Silicon Valley. California’s first increase in

the minimum wage in six years also started Tuesday, rising to $9 an hour. It will climb to $10 an hour in 2016. Nearly half of those surveyed by Field said the minimum wage should be raised even further, while 37 percent said the increases already taking effect are adequate. About one in 10 believes the rate has already been raised too much. The income gap also is expected to play a role in this year’s race for governor, in which Republican Neel Kashkari has sought to highlight California’s status as having the highest poverty rate in the nation in his challenge of incumbent Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown. Kashkari has called for a massive overhaul of the state’s education system to combat poverty. He said Brown and fellow Democrats in the state Legislature are unwilling to implement major reforms because of their political and financial ties to powerful teachers’ unions. On Wednesday, Kashkari slammed Brown for previously saying the state has the highest poverty rate because it attracts low-skilled immigrants, saying Brown is “absolving himself of any responsibility to do anything about it.”

EUROPE
Censorship claims as Google cuts search results By JUERGEN BAETZ
B
Associated Press
RUSSELS (AP) — Google’s removal of some search results in Europe is drawing accusations of press censorship. The U.S. firm has to comply with a strict privacy ruling made in May by the European Union’s top court that enables citizens to ask for the removal of embarrassing personal information that pops up on a search of their names. At least three British media, including the Guardian newspaper and public broadcaster BBC, said they have been notified by Google that links to some of their articles were removed from search results in Europe. The Guardian said six articles have been removed in what the newspaper calls a “challenge to press freedom.” The BBC said one critical blog entry by its economics editor was removed, while the Mail Online saw four articles hit. “It is the equivalent of going into libraries and burning books you don’t like,” Mail Online publisher Martin Clarke said. BBC Economics Editor Robert Peston said Wednesday the removal of his 2007 blog post,
which was critical of Merrill Lynch’s then-CEO Stan O’Neal, means “to all intents and purposes the article has been removed from the public record, given that Google is the route to information and stories for most people.” Google has a market share of 90 percent in Europe’s search market. The company says it has already received more than 50,000 removal requests and its experts are going through them. The company is not saying how many appear to fall into areas the court specified as potentially objectionable: results that are “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant.” Google is only starting to implement the ruling, and several German media contacted Thursday said they had not yet received notifications on articles scrubbed from search results. The company from Mountain View, California, finds itself in an uncomfortable position. It has no choice but to comply with the ruling by the EU top court, which cannot be appealed, but many decisions to remove search results are likely to draw criticism.

EOUL, South Korea (AP) — With a single meeting Thursday, the leaders of China and South Korea simultaneously snubbed North Korea, bolstered their already booming trade relationship and gave the U.S. and Japan a look at Beijing’s growing influence south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. There were smiles, cheering schoolchildren and red carpets as Chinese President Xi Jinping began a two-day visit to Seoul. North Korea, meanwhile, welcomed the leader of its only major ally and crucial source of fuel and food to the Korean Peninsula with a flurry of recent rocket and missile tests, the latest on Wednesday. The launches, as well as a vow Thursday by North Korea’s military to conduct more tests, are seen in part as the North demonstrating its anger at being jilted for its archrival. After their talks Thursday, South Korean President Park Geun-hye told reporters that she and Xi agreed on the need to rid North Korea of nuclear weapons and would resolutely oppose any more nuclear tests. North Korea is thought to have a handful of crude nuclear weapons and has conducted three atomic tests since 2006, the most recent last year. Xi also called for negotiations to end the North’s nuclear program and the uncertainty that lingers on the Korean Peninsula. Xi’s decision to meet with Park over North Korean leader Kim Jong Un upends the practice since Beijing and Seoul forged diplomatic ties in 1992 of Chinese presidents choosing to make North Korea their first official destination on the Korean Peninsula.

FEDERER: ALLWHITE CLOTHING RULE “TOO STRICT”
Roger Federer says Wimbledon’s tighter enforcement of its allwhite clothing policy for players is “too strict.” There have been complaints this year from some players over the more stringent regulations that include undergarments, the amount of colored trim on shirts and shorts and headbands and wristbands. Seven-time champion Federer, who was last year told not to wear running shoes with orange soles, said after his quarterfinal win Wednesday that photographs of past champions such as Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker show that “there was some colors.” All England Club chief executive Richard Lewis said in a statement provided by a club spokesman that “the rule is almost entirely in white.”
Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — Colorado manager Walt Weiss watched rookie pitcher Tyler Matzek battle the surging Washington Nationals on even terms into the seventh inning Wednesday night. It was a good showing that went for naught when Weiss went to his bullpen. After a replay review, Ian Desmond’s solo homer off reliever Matt Belisle in the seventh inning provided the go-ahead run and the Nationals rallied from a three-run deficit for a 4-3 win over the Rockies and a sweep of the three-game series. Matzek went 6 1-3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits in his fifth start. He struck out six and walked one. “Honestly, when he started the game he didn’t have his best command, best breaking stuff. He has lights out breaking stuff so he made some good adjustments,” Weiss said. “I think it was the fifth inning he started getting on top of his slider and started throwing his breaking ball with more angle and we utilized his changeup, which is his fourth best pitch, a lot more today.” Michael McKenry hit a threerun homer for Colorado, which
LL U B TER T I P NEU E FRE Y & SPA
has lost 14 of 16 and finished its road trip 1-6. Matzek struck out the final three batters he faced — the last being left-hander Bryce Harper - before Weiss brought Belisle (2-4) in to face the righthanded Desmond. “I think (Matzek) got stronger as the game went on, but he was in uncharted territory,” Weiss said. “He’s a young guy that probably hasn’t thrown more than 90, 95 pitches in the game.” Desmond’s hit appeared to bounce off the top of the wall in right center, then off the railing in front of the first row and onto the field. “I was just wondering what I was going to do if they messed it up,” he said, “and luckily they didn’t.” After a review that took 3:42, Desmond was given his 15th homer. “It was a breaking ball that was up and out over, and Desmond got the barrel to it,” Weiss said. Jayson Werth also homered for Washington, which has won a season-high five straight. Washington’s Doug Fister (72) allowed three runs on seven hits over seven innings. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 20th save.

Lowry agrees to re-sign with Raptors
P R E S E N T S
ASSOCIATED PRESS ORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry is staying with the Toronto Raptors after leading them to the Atlantic Division title. The point guard has agreed to re-sign with the Raptors, his agent confirmed Wednesday night. Yahoo Sports reported that the deal was for four years and $48 million. Lowry averaged career highs of 17.9 points and 7.4 assists for the Raptors, who were one of the NBA’s biggest surprises in going 48-34. They were expected to be one of league’s worst teams, particularly after trading forward Rudy Gay early in the season, but instead nearly reached the Eastern Conference semifinals before falling to Brooklyn in seven games.

He was considered the top point guard available and reportedly targeted by contending teams such as Miami and Houston during free agency before deciding to stay put. Contracts can’t be signed until July 10. Lowry has also played for Memphis and Houston, which traded him to Toronto in 2012.

AP Basketball Writer
EW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets reached an agreement in principle Wednesday with Lionel Hollins to become their coach, moving quickly after the departure of Jason Kidd. The deal with the former Memphis Grizzlies coach comes two days after the Nets made a trade with Milwaukee to allow Kidd out of his contract so the Bucks could hire him. Nets general manager Billy King and his assistants then met with Hollins on Monday night and again Tuesday before agreeing to the deal. Terms were not disclosed. “I want to thank the Nets ownership and Billy for this opportunity,” Hollins said in a statement. “It has been a long process to get back into the league, and I believe that Billy and I will have a very successful working relationship. Brooklyn has firmly established itself as a franchise that is committed to winning, and I eagerly look forward to becoming part of that culture and building on the success of the past two playoff appearances.” The Nets will introduce Hol-
lins at a press conference Monday. Hollins led Memphis to 56 victories and the 2013 Western Conference finals before he and the Grizzlies parted ways. The Nets considered him last year after firing P.J. Carlesimo before hiring Kidd. He was the only known candidate the Nets interviewed this time. King said he had reached out to one other person who chose not to pursue the job. “If you look at (his) track record and what he did in Memphis, he was able to go in there and take a team, added some veterans and they continually got better,” King said Tuesday. “He developed some young guys, (Marc) Gasol, some big guys. If you look at Memphis, they got consistently got better every year. All the way to the Western Conference finals.” Kidd led Brooklyn to a 44-38 record and the second round of the playoffs in his lone season but the Nets allowed him to pursue other jobs after denying his request for more power within the organization. The Bucks held Kidd’s welcoming press conference earlier Wednesday.

Bucks owners admit errors made in luring Kidd By ANDREW WAGNER
M
Associated Press
ILWAUKEE (AP) — New Bucks owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens admit they may have made some errors in luring Jason Kidd to Milwaukee. That doesn’t mean they aren’t happy to have him as Milwaukee’s coach. “Our one goal is to hire people to run it, that know what they’re doing,” Edens said. “Jason is someone I’ve admired as a player. He did a great job managing the Nets this year and we think he’s the best young coaching talent in basketball.” Kidd, who was formally introduced Wednesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, said there were no hard feelings over his abrupt and surprising departure from Brooklyn, where he won 44 games and reached the second round of the playoffs in his first season as a coach. Kidd dismissed the suggestion that he left after being turned down in seeking control of the Nets’ basketball operations department. And he said he had no plans to seek a similar role in Milwaukee, where general man-
128 Adams Ranch Rd
ager John Hammond is under contract through the 2015-16 season. “They are not true,” Kidd said. “It’s not about power. You guys ran with that. It’s not about power. As I was introduced, I’m the coach.” Brooklyn agreed Monday to deal Kidd to Milwaukee for second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2019. The Bucks fired Larry Drew, who had no indication he wouldn’t be back for a second season. The whole affair was messy and played out in the media for days before the deal was announced, overshadowing the positive buzz surrounding the Bucks’ selection of Duke star Jabari Parker with the No. 2 overall pick. Lasry said it was wrong to not bring Hammond into the loop earlier in the process, which began last week when the owners sought permission from the Nets to speak with Kidd. Lasry and Kidd are friends. “We were asked to keep it confidential,” Lasry said. “In retrospect, that was a mistake. I would tell you that it was very much newness. We’ve learned a lot in this process.

Nielsen: 21.6 million viewers for Belgium game By DAVID BAUDER
N
AP Television Writer
EW YORK (AP) — An estimated 21.6 million people watched Belgium knock out the United States soccer team in the World Cup on U.S. television — an impressive total for a weekday afternoon that almost certainly undercounts how many people actually saw it. The Nielsen company said Wednesday that 16.5 million people watched the game on ESPN, with 5.1 million more seeing it on the Spanish-language Univision network. In addition, nearly 1.7 million people watched an online stream of the event, Nielsen said. The record U.S. television audience for soccer is the 24.7 million who saw the United States play Portugal on June 24, which tied the 2010 World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands. The Portugal game took place on a weekend, however, when there were more people with free time available to watch. The U.S.-Belgium game started at 4 p.m. on the East Coast, earlier in other time zones, during a working day. Nielsen does not measure
viewership in bars, offices or other public places. In 2010, ESPN estimated that the stated audience size for weekday World Cup games would increase by 23 percent if public viewing were taken into account. Still, Tuesday’s knockout game exceeded the average viewership for the most recent World Series and NBA Finals, events that took place during prime-time when more people were home to watch. The just-concluded NBA series where the San Antonio Spurs beat the Miami Heat averaged 15.5 million viewers, with 18 million watching the final game. Last fall’s World Series averaged 14.9 million viewers, with 19.2 million watching the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the last game. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said Thursday that everyone connected with the soccer team is excited to see how the sport is reaching a U.S. audience. He could see it coming, given the popularity of the game among young people and the large crowds that turned out for the team’s sendoff games before the World Cup.

Associated Press
REENWICH, Conn. (AP) — It was some 80 years ago that Lou Gehrig and the 12-year-old son of a songwriter got bored with talk of music and opted to play catch instead. The legendary New York Yankees slugger and the boy were fast friends and next time they tossed the ball around the front yard, Gehrig brought Howard Henderson — a fellow lefty — a better glove. The autographed mitt — “To Howard. I hope you have much luck with this glove as I did. Lou Gehrig.” — will be auctioned off July 15. It is expected to sell for between $200,000 and $300,000. Henderson, now a retired architect who lives in Greenwich, turns 92 on Friday. That’s also the 75th anniversary of Gehrig’s famous July 4th farewell speech at Yankee Stadium, in which he called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the Earth” despite being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Henderson was used to en-
countering the famous such as actor Jimmy Durante and actress Ethel Merman. But Gehrig stood out, literally. “I was impressed. He was big,” Henderson said, cupping his hands far apart to describe the size of his calves. “He was a very nice guy, probably one of the nicest people in baseball.” Gehrig and his wife, Eleanor, were friends with Henderson’s father, Ray. Gehrig’s wife aspired to be a songwriter herself, Henderson said. “We weren’t interested. Somebody suggested let’s go out on the front lawn and play catch,” Henderson said. Gehrig promised to bring Henderson a better glove the next time he visited the family’s Bronxville, New York, home. “He said ‘this one is already broken in. I used it for part of the season,’” Henderson said. David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions, which is selling the glove and a photo on behalf of Henderson, said he’s confident it is Gehrig’s signed glove but can’t prove he used it in a game, though he likely did.

WORLD CUP
Klinsmann was right: U.S. not ready to win By RONALD BLUM
S
AP Sports Writer
AO PAULO (AP) — Turns out Jurgen Klinsmann was right: The United States isn’t ready to win the World Cup. The Americans were eliminated in the round of 16 for the second straight tournament. They’ve been ranked 13th or 14th every month since September, which means their exit was pretty much at the stage it’s expected to be. “Clearly it gives you the message you have a lot of work still ahead of you,” the U.S. coach said Wednesday, a day after the 2-1 loss to Belgium in extra time. From Wall Street to the White House to the West Coast, Americans watched their national team on television in record numbers. While buoyed by the increase in attention, players are desperate to join the world’s elite and far from attaining that level. Klinsmann was a World Cup champion as a player with West Germany in 1990 and coach of the German team that reached the 2006 semifinals. Having moved to California in 1998 with his American wife, he is seen as bringing the perspective of soccer’s elite to a nation that remains a new
world in the sport. His message to players is they don’t do enough. They don’t play twice a week, like Champions League stars. They don’t face condemnation from their community after losses and poor performances. “It makes them feel accountable, not just walk away with a bad performance and nothing happens,” he said. “If you have a bad performance, then people should approach you and tell you that, so make sure that next game is not bad anymore and that you step it up.” President Barack Obama spoke to captain Clint Dempsey and goalkeeper Tim Howard on Wednesday to congratulate the team on its performance. Obama “commended them not only for their work on the field, but for carrying themselves in a way that made the country proud,” the White House said in a statement. Late Wednesday at the airport, Dempsey, forward Jozy Altidore and defender DaMarcus Beasley were cheered and stopped for autographs and photos before they boarded an American Airlines flight to Miami.

Mikolas makes debut in Rangers’ 6-4 loss By TODD KARPOVICH
B
Associated Press
ALTIMORE (AP) — Texas Rangers right-hander Miles Mikolas didn’t show any nerves in his major league debut against the Baltimore Orioles. Instead, Mikolas simply focused on keeping the Orioles’ powerful lineup off-balance by attacking the strike zone. However, the Rangers’ bullpen faltered as Adam Jones and Ryan Flaherty hit solo homers and Baltimore beat Texas for the third consecutive game, 6-4 on Wednesday night. The Rangers have lost eight consecutive road games, their longest drought since 2005. “It was a lot of fun being out there,” Mikolas said. “I thought I pitched a pretty good game up until the fifth. Then, I had some trouble with some walks. Things kind of didn’t go our way after that.” Mikolas allowed three runs and three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 5 1-3 innings. Texas (37-47) has used 11 starting pitchers this year, most in the American League. The Rangers have lost 13 of their past 16 games. Baltimore stayed within one
game of first-place Toronto, which beat Milwaukee 7-4, earlier Wednesday. The Orioles (45-39) moved six games over .500, equaling a season-high. “That was really impressive,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “That was one of the more impressive things I’ve seen, to be able to bring that intensity into a game like that. The whole group, I was real proud of them tonight.” The game was delayed 1 hour and 38 minutes because of rain in the bottom of the eighth inning. Jones hit his 16th home run of the season and had three RBIs. Flaherty, who started at third base in place of the suspended Manny Machado, hit his fourth homer of the season and also made several nice defensive plays. Baltimore has homered in 12 consecutive games. “We certainly had some opportunities,” Texas manager Ron Washington said. “We just didn’t get it done.” Orioles right-hander Brad Brach (2-0) entered in the sixth and earned the victory by throwing 1 1-3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts.

WORLD CUP
Obama praises U.S. men’s soccer team in phone call By JOSH LEDERMAN
W
Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama commended the U.S. soccer team Wednesday for making the country proud in the World Cup tournament in Brazil, during an Oval Office phone call with two of the team’s most celebrated players. Obama called goalkeeper Tim Howard and team captain Clint Dempsey the day after the U.S. team was eliminated by Belgium. Praising Howard and Dempsey for their leadership and the team’s performance, Obama said this year was the first time the U.S. team had the entire nation truly focused on the contest. “You guys did us proud,” Obama said in a video released by the White House. “To see the way you guys captured the hearts and the imaginations of the whole country is unbelievable.” He joked that Howard, whose 16 saves captivated soccer fans worldwide, will have to shave his beard before returning to the U.S. to evade the mobs en-
thralled by his performance. He invited the team to return to the White House soon and asked Howard and Dempsey to convey his congratulations to their coach and teammates. “I know it’s disappointing,” Obama said about the 2-1 loss to Belgium in overtime. “But what you guys accomplished is really, really significant.” Obama has been following the World Cup closely. He watched last week’s U.S.-Germany match from Air Force One and chanted “I believe!” while watching the Belgium match Tuesday with White House aides. Accolades for Howard have been pouring in from the highest level of government, including from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, whose Wikipedia entry was temporarily changed as a gag to show Howard as the new Pentagon chief. Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said Hagel invited the entire U.S. team to visit the Pentagon. “He told Howard that with some training, he could someday become the real secretary of defense,” Kirby said.

AFRICA
Physician says Pistorius is a ‘paradox’ By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA
P
Associated Press
RETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius is a “paradox” whose past triumphs as a sprinter crossing the finish line with raised arms contrasted sharply with the daily, severe limitations that he endured because of his disability, a physician testified Thursday at the runner’s murder trial. Wayne Derman, a professor of sport and exercise medicine at the University of Cape Town, said in court that the contrast likely contributed to stress and anxiety for Pistorius, who fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door in his home. He testified for the defense, which wants to show that the athlete had a deep sense of vulnerability and it was a factor in what he has described as a mistaken shooting. “You’ve got a paradox of an individual who is supremely able, and you’ve got an individual who is significantly disabled,” said Derman, who has worked with South African Olympic and Paralympic teams and has treated Pistorius over half a dozen years. He noted that Pistorius’ anxieties included concern about flying.

TOWN OF TELLURIDE
a piece of Telluride history! This exceptional O wn property is considered contributing to the National Historic Landmark District of Telluride. Set on the SW corner of Oak and Galena the property offers expansive views of the box canyon and Bear Creek from its perch above the neighbors. The existing house is a very livable, traditional Victorian with an open main level floor plan and three bedrooms. Three full baths and a family room and separate loft/study round out the living space while a large back yard with storage shed and spacious deck makes for easy summertime outdoor living.

ing t s i wL
“He has a specific fear of being trapped somewhere without being able to move very rapidly,” Derman said. Referring to Pistorius’ decision to confront a perceived threat on the night he killed Steenkamp, Derman said “fleeing was not an option” because the runner has no lower legs. Pistorius, 27, says he killed Steenkamp on Feb. 14, 2013 by mistake, thinking there was a dangerous intruder in his home. He shot her while on his stumps. The prosecution says he intentionally killed the 29-year-old model after the couple had a Valentine’s Day argument. Pistorius, who is free on bail, faces 25 years to life in prison if found guilty of premeditated murder, but he could also be sentenced to a shorter prison term if convicted of murder without premeditation or negligent killing. Additionally, he faces separate gun-related charges. During cross-examination, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Derman, the physician, was giving “character evidence” rather than “expert evidence” and questioned whether the witness was capable of giving testimony that would work against Pistorius’ defense.

TELLURIDE DAILY PLANET
HOROSCOPE
By SALLY BROMPTON www.sallybrompton.com BIRTHDAY FRIDAY: With the Sun opposing Pluto on your birthday this year it’s odds-on you will clash with people in positions of power. That’s good. You need to be challenged and you need to show you are not afraid to take on the big guns. They’ll respect you for it. BIRTHDAY SATURDAY: Don’t wait for others to take the initiative. You know what you want out of life and you know that each and every day can be a new beginning, so get out there into the mainstream and make your mark on the world. You’ll look good no matter what you do. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You have to accept what is taking place in your life, even though you may not approve of it. There are times when even an Aries must bend with the breeze and this is one of them. Do what you have to do and do it well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): If there are any loose ends in your affairs, at home or at work, you must deal with them over the next 24 hours. If you leave them flapping in the breeze they are sure to trip you up sooner or later – most likely sooner.
scream at people who refuse to see sense but if you are wise you will keep quiet. Your way of doing things may indeed be best but no amount of persuasion or threats will change their minds. CANCER (June 22 - July 23): Don’t worry if you upset someone today because the planets indicate you need to let others know you won’t be pushed around. It may mean the end of a friendship but that’s a small price to pay for securing your freedom.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): This may be a difficult day for you but it can also be a day when you learn something to your advantage. If you are torn between the future and the past, choose the future. If you are torn between your friends and money, choose friends.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23): Yes, of course, you have a right to say what you think but don’t forget that others have the right to hit back if they so choose. If you clash with someone whose ideas are at odds with your own there could be fireworks today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): There is no point trying to force the pace because the Sun opposing Pluto in your sign won’t let you – and will also remind you where the real power lies. Also, focus on finishing what has already been started. Save new projects for another day.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): What happens over the next 24 hours will bring you down to earth with a bump but maybe that’s a good thing. According to the planets your head has been up there in the clouds a bit too long. It’s time to come back to reality.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You like to take the initiative and make things happen but today you will have to yield to the whims of those who do not share your sense of adventure. It may be frustrating but you can’t change it so don’t let it upset you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): The quality you most need today is patience – and lots of it. Come the weekend you will be able to start doing things again but over the next 24 hours control your urge to push ahead. Starting too soon may be worse than not starting at all.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): You have allowed certain people to get away with things they did not deserve to get away with. Now you must balance things out and see to it that they pay for their mistakes. Next time, don’t let things get so out of hand.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): There will be times today when you could
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20): For some strange reason you seem to be afraid of your own shadow – even though most things in your life are going well. Don’t let fear hold you back from doing something creative today. Once you get started your confidence will return.
SEE for YOURSELF!

Savage’s ‘World’ comes full circle with spinoff

Associated Press
EW YORK (AP) — Ben Savage says that when production wrapped on “Boy Meets World” in 2000 after seven seasons, he and his young co-stars were ready to expand their own worlds. “I think at that point all the kids on the show were kind of looking forward to the next step in their lives,” the 33-year-old actor said. “’Boy Meets World’ was really our childhood, and so when it ended, the cast was ready to say, ‘OK, let’s see what’s next.’” He didn’t have a clue “that 12 years later I’d be sitting at home and get a phone call saying we’re

starting again.” In “Girl Meets World,” airing Fridays on the Disney Channel (8:30 p.m. EDT), Savage’s character, Cory, is still married to Danielle Fishel’s Topanga (they wed in the original show’s seventh season), and they now have two children. Fishel is back, along with many of the original crew members and writers. “It’s kind of like this nostalgic, deja vu thing for me,” Savage said. “Every day I get to work ... I see so many of the same faces that I spent my entire childhood with. ... It’s like you’re re-creating your childhood. Not many people get to do that.” “Girl Meets World” largely follows the couple’s 12-year-
old daughter, Riley (Rowan Blanchard), and her best friend, Maya, the way its predecessor focused on Cory and best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong). Blanchard describes Riley as “Cory’s kid,” who will have “countless resemblances” to her TV dad. Word traveled fast among pop culture enthusiasts and fans of the original series after “Girl Meets World” was announced. With the attention came scrutiny. “’Boy Meets World’ was one of those shows people grew up with and felt very connected to,” Savage said. “They’re very concerned about ‘Girl Meets World,’ and they’re not shy about letting us know.”

Then they haul gear and sell merch; Corbett even does the driving. It’s a down-to-earth operation, like the guy who runs it. And no, it doesn’t bother him if people show up because they’re fans of his acting. “I want them to put on the marquee, ‘From ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding.’ I want as many people in those shows as I can get. I don’t care how they get in there,” he says, laughing again. When they hear Leaving Nothin’ Behind, it won’t be a hard sell. Come see Corbett play with a full band and decide for yourself over the Fourth of July weekend. Tickets are on sale at SheridanOperaHouse.com.

The result is an album that could easily hold its own among those from top Americana artists in Nashville, Austin or even Los Angeles, where Corbett headed after high school when his father offered to help him land a better steel mill job than he could get in West Virginia. He arrived with a suitcase, a guitar and a basketball (perhaps it’s not evident on TV, but Corbett is 6-foot-5). Several years later, an injury sent him from the mill to the books; he discovered acting at a community college. After co-owning a large Seattle club, Fenix Underground, for 10 years, Corbett knows what makes a good live show — even though he’d never sung in public at all (“The Tonight Show” studio notwithstanding) until releasing

Corbett also swears allegiance to the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty and Aerosmith, plus Garth Brooks (a fellow Kiss fan), Glen Campbell, Waylon Jennings and Buck Owens (who gave Corbett the last guitar the Bakersfield legend ever bestowed, two weeks before he died).

Review: McCarthy’s ‘Tammy’ misses the funny bone By JOCELYN NOVECK
M
AP National Writer
eet Tammy. Boy, is she a mess. Angry, profane and aggressive, then suddenly shy and sweet. Sometimes she’s funny, sometimes totally not. She can’t figure out what she wants to do or be, or where to go. She has loads of people around her, yet can’t figure out what to do with them. This one’s in desperate need of outside help. And you thought we were talking about Tammy, the character — played by lovable Melissa McCarthy in her first venture as producer, star and co-writer with husband Ben Falcone. Well, sure. But really we’re talking about “Tammy” the movie, about which all of the above descriptions are also true. Especially the “mess” part. Oy. Other recent comedies have been described as elongated “Saturday Night Live” skits, but it’s especially apt here, and not just because McCarthy and Falcone, who also directs, are veteran improv performers. Exaggerated characters, some wacky side plots, a couple of famous faces sprinkled in, and you’re off. Some
of it’s good, some terrible, but you keep it all, ‘cause, hey, why not? It’s a comedy sketch. Only this is a much anticipated, heavily promoted featurelength film, and as such, it can only be deemed an unfortunate, though ambitious and intermittently enjoyable, misfire for McCarthy, so adorably entertaining in better movies like “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat.” Part of the problem is miscasting. “Tammy” is full of name actors: Susan Sarandon, Allison Janney, Toni Collette, Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, Dan Akyroyd. Most are misused. (Bates is a happy exception.) Most glaring of all: Sarandon plays Tammy’s doddering grandmother, Pearl, with whom Tammy goes on a female-bonding road trip (yes, obvious echoes of “Thelma and Louise”). Give her credit for trying, but really, Sarandon as a doddering grandma? McCarthy is 43. Sarandon is 67, but we all know she looks great for 50, maybe 45. They give her a dumpy pants ensemble, an unflattering gray wig and fake swollen ankles, but we don’t buy it for a minute. Just look at Sarandon’s glowing skin here — she should be doing a Dove commercial.

ASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The trio of musicians in Nickel Creek grew up performing together, but but ultimately it was the nearly seven years spent concentrating on their own separate musical interests that made returning the stage together all the more exciting. Fiddler Sara Watkins, her brother and guitarist Sean Watkins and mandolin player Chris Thile reunited last year in Los Angeles with the modest goal of a small 25-city tour to mark 25 years since the band formed and an EP of new songs. They wondered if their fans would return nine years after their last record. “It’s really easy to lose fans these days,” Sara Watkins said. Instead, the reunion resulted in a full-length album, sold-out shows and an expanded tour, which includes performances this month at Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, and the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island. “A Dotted Line” debuted at No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 this spring — a strong showing for a bluegrass
album that answered the question about fan interest. They built that fan base for more than a decade before stepping away. Starting out in southern California as pre-teens hitting the bluegrass circuit, the trio achieved a Grammy Award, two gold albums and popularity outside the genre by the time members reached their 20s. But they took a break after realizing they couldn’t fit all their musical interests and pursuits under the Nickel Creek umbrella. “I think we were kind of imposing the width and breadth of our individual musicianship on the project at all moments,” Thile said. “And no single project can stand that kind of intensity.” During their hiatus following a 2007 farewell tour, Thile went on a prolific run, forming the Punch Brothers, winning a MacArthur Foundation grant, as well as collaborating with Yo-Yo Ma and writing classical music for the mandolin. The Watkins siblings went in separate directions, with Sara recording two solo albums and Sean working with two other bands, but the two also continued to perform together during regular shows in Los Angeles.

OBITUARY
War hero, Olympian Zamperini dies at 97
L
OS ANGELES (AP) — Louis Zamperini, an Olympic distance runner and World War II veteran who survived 47 days on a raft in the Pacific after his bomber crashed, then endured two years in Japanese prison camps, has died. He was 97. Zamperini’s death was confirmed by Universal Pictures studio spokesman Michael Moses. A family statement released early Thursday said Zamperini had been suffering from pneumonia. “After a 40-day long battle for his life, he peacefully passed away in the presence of his entire family, leaving behind a legacy that has touched so many lives,” the family statement said. “His indomitable courage and fighting spirit were never more ap-
parent than in these last days.” Zamperini is the subject of Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption,” which is being made into a movie directed by Angelina Jolie and is scheduled for a December release by Universal. “It is a loss impossible to describe,” Jolie said in a statement. “We are all so grateful for how enriched our lives are for having known him. We will miss him terribly.” A high school and University of Southern California track star, Zamperini competed in the 5,000-meter run at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He finished eighth but caught attention by running the final lap in 56 seconds. In World War II, he was a
bombardier on a U.S. Army Air Forces bomber that crashed in the Pacific Ocean during a reconnaissance mission. He and one of the other surviving crew members drifted for 47 days on a raft in shark-infested waters before being captured by Japanese forces. He spent more than two years as a prisoner of war, surviving torture. In May, Zamperini was named grand marshal of the 2015 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, which next New Year’s Day will feature the theme “Inspiring Stories.” In accepting the honor, Zamperini, wearing a USC cap, recalled that Hillenbrand, in researching the book, asked to interview his friends from college and the Army.

Profiling a Mentor: How long have you been a One to One mentor? Just two months now. It has been an absolute joy and I love being a part of the One to One family. Why did you decide to get involved and become a mentor? I was always interested in the program and I knew the need was there. A wonderful friend brought me to a Mentor Mingle and I was taken with the personal stories and applied that week. What kinds of things do you do together? In our first meeting, we talked about things we liked to do and set some goals for activities to do together. In addition to doing homework and reading together after school, we’ve
been to the movies, made pizza together, gone out for a banana split for her birthday, and been ice skating. But my most memorable so far has been taking Roxana out for her first time skiing. She is a natural! We very much appreciate the community businesses who support One to One and make many of these activities possible for us. How has being a mentor affected your life? Life is so much richer being a Mentor. I would encourage anyone thinking about it to go for it! I look forward to continuing to learn from the experience and watching our relationship grow in the years to come. I’m inspired by Roxana - she always brightens my day!

Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Balcony tickets are sold out and floor tickets are $40 plus a nominal ticket fee. You may recognize Corbett from his roles in “Northern Exposure,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” “Sex and the City,” “United States of Tara,” “Parent-

No one has to tell Corbett that Hollywood stars moonlighting as musicians don’t always get taken seriously. He’s already faced crowds full of skeptics wearing expectant looks that silently challenge, “All right, actor boy, show us what you’ve got.” But Corbett’s never had a problem doing just that, onstage with his band or on radio airwaves. His self-titled debut album, released in 2006, climbed to No. 42 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart, surprising even the guy who rose to fame as Cicely, Alaska’s resident radio deejay on the “Northern Exposure” TV series.

Funbone Records label, Corbett confirms what fans of John Corbett quickly recognized: He was never just moonlighting in the first place. Music was always Corbett’s first love. He’s been playing since he can remember. “I never for a second dreamed that I could make a living making music, except probably when I was a freshman in high school and would daydream about what it would be like to be in Kiss or Styx or something,” he admits, See CORBETT, Page 58

ohnny Cash tribute band, Cash’d Out, returns to Mountain Village on Sunday to play ClubRED on Sunday. The San Diego-based tribute band has been playing their authentic gritty sound since 2005. The band’s live shows respectfully recreate the late, great, Man in Black’s Sun Records and early Columbia-era sound, combined with the energy of the classic multi-platinum live recordings from Folsom Prison and San Quentin. Last summer Cash’d Out played the Sunset Concert Series. “This started as a result of a true love and appreciation for the music of Johnny Cash,” said drummer Charles Henning. “We agreed that this venture would start as, and remain, a tribute to a music icon.” With more than 150 songs in their repertoire, they have done just that. Cash’d Out is the only tribute band endorsed by the official Johnny Cash webpage. They have performed at the opening of the Johnny Cash exhibit at the Fender Museum in Corona, Calif., where they jammed with longtime Cash drummer W.S. Holland. The band returned to the Fender Museum in 2008 to play a Cash birthday celebration with John Carter Cash [Johnny Cash’s son] and Cindy Cash [Cash’s daughter]. The group has won four San Diego Music Awards for Best Tribute Band, proving they are a favorite to fans of all ages and virtually all See BAND, Page 58
