CEP pact takes shape
DA renews charges of solicitation, conspiracy to commit aggravated murder ■

COOS BAY — Local officials are beginning to flesh out an agreement between Jordan Cove Energy Project and the four government entities with a stake in the potential multimillion dollar windfall. The Community Enhancement Plan work group met Monday afternoon, poring over an agreement North Bend city attorney Mike Stebbins drafted between Jordan Cove and the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone sponsors (the cities of North Bend and Coos Bay, Coos County, and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay). The agreement will outline Jordan Cove’s community service fees, though right now it’s mostly boilerplate wording from templates of similar agreements. The fees are a condition of the four sponsor entities granting Jordan Cove a longterm rural enterprise zone property tax exemption. “This is probably the less complicated of the two agreements,” said Margaret Barber, Coos Curry Douglas Business Development Corporation’s community development director for Coos and Curry counties. A second agreement has been proposed between the four sponsor entities. CEP work group chair Jennifer Groth numbered and dated the draft, since the document will likely go through multiple revisions similar to the South Coast Community Foundation bylaws, which were changed 19 times before the work group came to an agreement.

COQUILLE — When Coos County sheriff’s deputies last led Kenneth Moore out of Judge Richard Barron’s courtroom almost five years ago, prosecutors thought the case was closed. Sentenced to 35 years in prison on six counts of first-degree rape, among other charges, then-44year-old Moore was expected to spend the rest of his life in prison. This Monday afternoon, however, he was back in Barron’s courtroom, being Kenneth Moore arraigned on an indictment of solicitation to commit aggravated murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated murder in that same case. The chain of events leading to Moore’s most recent appearance in Coos County Circuit Court began with the Oregon Court of Appeals. In December 2013, the appeals court reversed Moore’s rape convictions and sent the case back to Coos County for another trial. At the heart of the court’s ruling is its suppression of a handwritten book seized from Moore’s jail cell as evidence in the rape case. Moore’s legal troubles began in May 2009, when investigators developed probable cause for his arrest on a litany of felony sex crime charges. A young girl had reported that Moore had been sexually abusing her over a period of time, beginning when she was 12. When North Bend police attempted a traffic stop of his van, he took off, leading officers on a high-speed chase that ended when he crashed near Coquille. While being held at the Coos
The Coos Bay Boardwalk — as the name implies, is made of wood, and now smoking is no longer allowed on it. Late Monday afternoon, there were a couple cigarette butts inside the wooden pavilion.
City extinguishes boardwalk smoking Coos Bay amends a no-smoking ordinance already in effect around Mingus Park ■
“You wouldn’t throw cigarettes on your own front porch. This is our patio, where we greet our guests to the area .” Crystal Shoji Coos Bay mayor
BY TIM NOVOTNY The World
COOS BAY — Citing safety and aesthetics, the Coos Bay City Council has officially declared the boardwalk off-limits for smoking. The council unanimously adopted an ordinance stating that no person shall smoke upon or within 25 feet of the city’s wooden boardwalk. It is an amendment to Ordinance No. 428, which has been prohibiting smoking in and around Mingus Park. “It was an easy decision,” Mayor Crystal Shoji said. “It wasn’t a political decision. It was a safety and health issue.” There was no testimony for or against the ordinance. Members of the council initiated the ordinance out of concerns that cigarettes on the boardwalk pose a fire hazard. “In the past, people have been observed tossing their cigarettes on the wooden planks,” Shoji added. “It is a danger and
unpleasant for all when streets and public areas are used like ashtrays. This is our community, and it is our front door. Let’s be civilized.” Coos Bay Police say the enforcement of the ordinance also will be handled in a civil manner, as they look first to education over citation. “Basically, it will allow us an opportunity to have a talk with people who are smoking on the boardwalk,” Captain Chris said Monday. Chapanar “Typically, we try to educate people and give them the opportunity to realize that things have changed and smoking is no longer allowed there.” Chapanar says that, so far, the Mingus Park nonsmoking ordinance has been one of general compliance. If you do get cited, according to the ordinance, the fines can
vary. “Violation of, or failure to comply with, any provision of this chapter” it reads, “is punishable upon conviction by a fine not to exceed $1,000. Each violation is a separate offense, and if the violation is of a continuing nature, each and every day the violation continues shall be a separate offense. [Ord. 248 § 3, 1998].” The whole ordinance can be found in the Coos Bay Municipal Code available on the city’s website. “Will we be able to monitor everything that goes on there? No,” Shoji admits. “We just need to tell the community this needs to stop, or this could be happening in a lot of places where people gather. You wouldn’t throw cigarettes on your own front porch. This is our patio, where we greet our guests to the area.”

IRS head says no laws broken in loss of emails
INSIDE
WASHINGTON — Republicans in Congress aren’t buying the contention by the head of the Internal Revenue Service that he has seen no evidence anyone committed a crime when the agency lost emails that might shed light on the targeting of tea party and other political groups before the 2010 and 2012 elections. On Tuesday, a House panel will hear from a White House official who once worked at the IRS. Jennifer O’Connor worked at the

IRS from May to November 2013, helping the agency gather documents related to the congressional investigations, said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Committee. O’Connor has since moved to the White House counsel’s office. Issa subpoenaed O’Connor on Monday night after the White House declined his invitation to have her testify. After getting the subpoena, the White House relented. Issa said he wants to question O’Connor about former IRS official Lois Lerner’s lost emails. The IRS said Lerner’s computer crashed in

2011, and emails she had archived on the hard drive were lost. Lerner headed the division that processes applications for taxexempt status. The Oversight Committee is investigating the handling of applications from tea party and other political groups. Congressional investigators want Lerner’s emails to see if there is evidence that anyone outside the IRS was involved. “Before her promotion to the White House, Ms. O’Connor led the response to the congressional targeting inquiry and she is uniquely qualified to explain why

attorneys did not focus on and flag Lerner’s ‘lost’ emails at the outset,” Issa said. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said, “Republicans have been trying desperately — and unsuccessfully — for more than a year to link this scandal to the White House.” David Ferriero, who heads the National Archives and Records Administration, was also scheduled to testify. The National Archives has asked the IRS to investigate the loss of records, and whether any disposal of data was

authorized. On Monday, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen appeared at a rare evening hearing before Issa’s committee to answer questions about the lost emails. The hearing was contentious, with Koskinen brushing aside accusations that the IRS has obstructed the political group targeting investigations. “I have the ability to say I have seen no evidence of any crime,” Koskinen said. Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, scoffed at Koskinen’s assertion. SEE IRS | A8

Charles “Charles of Charleston” Edmonds drops the vase with $200 cash inside Saturday afternoon at the Coos Art Museum. Raffles were sold for the chance to drop and break the jar to help the museum. It was the work of Robert Canaga, juror for the current Expressions West exhibition at the museum, who was inspired by the recent controversy of the art piece Ai Weiwei: Dropping the Urn. Edmonds was standing in for the actual winner, Rick Fox, who could not be there for the drop Saturday. The painting on the right is Canaga’s interpretation of the jar falling through the air. The shards will be left below the artwork.

Four decades of caring Our view The Oregon Community Foundation celebrates 40 years of helping build communities across the state.
What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.
The Oregon Community Foundation celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. That’s 40 years of service to the state — all the state. You have kids in school? They’ve likely benefited from the foundation. Are you a fan of the arts? The foundation likely has helped you enjoy the arts. Do you care about the hungry, the homeless or those less fortunate? The Oregon Community Foundation has shared your concerns and done something about them. It’s one of the largest private nonprofit foundations in the Pacific Northwest, with assets of $1.6 billion,
and one of the top 10 community foundations in the country. During its time, the foundation has given more than $900 million in grants and scholarships across the eight regions of the state. In the South Coast alone (Coos and Curry counties) it has averaged about $1 million a year for the last five years, supporting entities like the Boys and Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon, the Coos Art Museum, the Coos County Public Health Department, the Curry Public Library District, Port Orford-Langlois School District and the Waterfall Clinic Inc., for continuation of dental services through
the Ready to Smile program. Whether it’s education, public health, arts and culture, historic preservation or a variety of other causes, Oregon Community Foundation has probably played some role at some time in the last 40 years. Most often, it’s not the size of grant the foundation makes to any single cause or group that is significant. It’s the thoroughness of the foundation’s vetting process that bestows a “seal of approval” on an organization. When the Oregon Community Foundation gives money to a project, other grant-making organizations follow suit. And it
partners well with other grant-making institutions. An example: joining with the Collins Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust and the Ford Family Foundation to expand parenting education programs across the state. The foundation is, indeed, the definition of benevolent benefactor. So, why are we telling you all this? On Thursday, we’ll explain why an organization like the foundation could be very important to the Bay Area as we continue to develop the Community Enhancement Plan to manage the financial impacts if a liquefied natural gas plant is built in our backyard.
Hands as the better tool Have you stopped using your hands? Do your fingers struggle to sign your name? Is chopping an onion with a knife hard work? Must you call someone to fix a cabinet door off the hinges? Is it agony to sew on a button? For many, computers and laziness have sapped our manual skills. This is not progress. In a much-read essay, Maria Konnikova cites several studies revealing what’s lost when people replace handwriting with a keyboard.At Indiana University,for example, psychologist Karin James showed preliterate children a letter on an index card and asked them to reproduce it by tracing, drawing on blank paper or typing on a computer. The children were put under a brain scanner and shown the letter again. Those who had drawn the letter freehand, Konnikova writes, “exhibited increased activity in three areas of the brain that are activated in adults when they read and write.” Those who traced or typed were far less so affected. James noted that the messiness in writing freehand yielded highly variable results. She believes the variability FROMA itself helped the children HARROP to learn. In another study, older Columnist students taking notes by hand were found to process and remember information better than those using a keyboard. The benefits of doing things manually could apply to a lot of things people once used their hands for but now do not much. Very often, the old-fashioned, hand-based activities also do a better job. A friend tells me of his newfound preference for shaving with traditional instruments, as opposed to a plastic razor ripped out of the wrapping and soon disposed of. First, he must loosen screws on the razor holder. Then he inserts a double-edged blade and tightens the screws. He makes his shaving cream with an old-style shaving soap and applies it with a brush. This makes the shaving routine more tactile and active. It also produces a better shave, my friend insists, exfoliating the skin while removing hair. The great vegetarian food writer Deborah Madison calls hands “your most important tool,” followed by an ordinary sharp knife. “Food processed in a machine never reveals the hand of the cook,” she writes. “I always find it much more interesting to see the person in the way he or she cuts vegetables; it’s one of the things that makes hands-on cooking so vital.” Like much else, sewing machines are now computerized. The upscale models come with a wide repertory of embroidery stitches. Who does embroidery by hand these days? Only a few. Sadly, the machine-embroidered product doesn’t hold a candle to hand embroidery, with its human imperfections. My mother was a great needleworker. I recall helping out with one of her projects when I was small. It was a large tablecloth printed with marks for the cross-stitches. She gave me a corner to work on and never touched my sloppy stitching. I now tear up every time I use the tablecloth. Back at the written word, even pre-computer typing creates a more crafted product than the perfect digital version. Banging the keys on a manual typewriter makes uneven letters and thus more personalized results. (I heard of a recent wedding where the couple set up an old typewriter with cards on which guests could pound out their comments.) And no, clever fonts that ape handwriting don’t do the job. Speaking of apes, modern humans hold dominion over the other hominids because of our manual dexterity and attendant brain development. What will happen to a species that equips its toddlers with iPads? Can’t say. But if Bigfoot ever learns to write thank-you notes, we may all be in trouble.
Letters to the Editor Religious zealotry bristles the senses Michael Boyle’s June 12 letter in the Forum, “Issue is about Constitution,” reflected my feelings exactly. Some of the letters he refers to pretend that the Christian cross is not a religious symbol, and anyone who thinks it should not remain in a public park should leave the country or worse. The letters are apparently from religious people. I was not raised in a religious tradition, but I was raised to have respect for those who were. I am, however, losing my respect for at least some of them. Unlike many others who write to the Forum, I am a Vietnam veteran, and so I have an emotional involvement in the controversy. I don’t like a Christian symbol at the entrance to a public park, but I can live with it if I have to. What I have trouble living with is religious zealots who emit such venom against those of us who are not of their persuasion. I would suggest that Michael Boyle is correct in asking whether The World should indeed maintain “some
minimal standard of argument, not to say of civility?” Lionel Youst Allegany
We can be smart about progress In regard to a couple of issues on the front burner right now, can we please just look at them logically and get past the hysteria? One that has been simmering for years is our timber industry, still listed as one of Oregon’s main economies. Let’s consider trees as the “crop” that they are. Do we go into the middle of a freshly harvested wheat field and bemoan that the grain has been cut and the field is in disarray? Why do we treat the cutting of a crop of trees differently? Of course, we don’t want to cut them all down and deprive ourselves of their beauty, but with good management practices, we should be able to provide jobs and improve the status of our state. We’ve chosen wise practices in the past, i.e., getting rid of the wigwam burners, bad harvesting procedures, etc. Let’s
continue towards our goal of wise harvesting. The other issue, in full blaze at present, is LNG. It disturbs me when I read some of the excuses for not allowing that industry to establish itself here. It seems to me that a company willing to invest such an exorbitant amount of money in a project has done their homework and looked at the pros and cons from every angle. They’ve gone out of their way to rectify many of the perceived problems. It also disturbs and embarrasses me when we treat these engineers like they were something akin to Gomer Pyle. I’m sure their pedigree overshadows my education,as well as some of the naysayers who voice their opposition. I’m in favor of clean energy and the pursuit of that goal. I don’t want to return to the pollutants of the past. But we need to do it in a logical way, and right now we can’t wipe fossil fuel out of our lives all together. Those clean industries are still being explored, and some are in practice, but they’re not ready to take over fueling the whole country. With the
current problems in Iraq, with ISIS taking over that country and destroying what progress our troops made, we’re once again being made aware of how vitally important it is for our country and other nations to be self-supporting when it comes to fossil fuels. What’s so wrong with our region prospering in that endeavor? Lois Buerer Bandon

Living with a robotic future Ray Kurzweil — inventor of things like machines that turn text into speech — has popularized the idea that we are rapidly approaching “the singularity,” the point at which machines not only think for themselves but develop intellectually faster than we. At that point, maybe we no longer talk about “human history.” It will be “machine progress,” with us along for the ride — if machines keep us around. Maybe they’ll keep us in a zoo, like we do with our monkey ancestors. Scientists and ethicists are beginning to wrestle with the question of how to make sure artificial intelligence, when it arrives, is nice to us. Make sure the robots are strict libertarians? That way, they’ll be forbidden to commit assault,theft or fraud — the three legal restrictions in which libertarians believe. computer Unfortunately, programmers won’t listen to my suggestion. Those who work for video-game companies and the military make machines that kill people. All this is scary because scientists say that soon machines will be too smart and self-motivated for us to predict. “Robots absolutely can become
much more d a n g e r o u s ,” Patrick says Tucker, of The Futurist magazine. “And they become more dangerous as we ask them to do more.” Our best JOHN hope may be a STOSSEL future where Columnist instead of trying to control intelligent machines, we blend with them. In some ways, that’s already happening. Erik Brynjolfsson, author of “The Second Machine Age,” says today’s machines augment our minds the way that the Industrial Revolution’s machines augmented muscles. This creates progress that government statistics don’t measure. “It used to be you could just count physical objects — tons of steel, bushels of wheat,” says Brynjolfsson on my TV show last week. “As we have more of an idea economy, it’s harder to measure the value of those ideas. “Wikipedia created enormous value,” he adds, “but it’s free, and that means that it doesn’t show
up in GDP statistics, which measure the value of goods and services.” Outsourcing parts of our thinking with tools like Wikipedia and Google may be how we’ll keep improving our lives — cooperating with machines instead of fighting them. In science-fiction terms, the future may be “cyborg:” part machine, part human. Instead of parents deciding where to send their kids to school, they may puzzle over which machine enhancements to give them. Already clinics offer “designer babies” by selecting embryos based on genetic quality. Soon parents will select by height, intelligence, beauty and so on. This future sounds unsettling, but it’s not much use just hoping machines stay dumber than we. The IBM computer “Watson” lost to humans on “Jeopardy” but beat the quiz show’s champion a few years later. Leftists tell us that such computers will take our jobs, requiring welfare programs for unemployable humans. President Barack Obama expressed this static thinking when he told an interviewer that ATMs and airport ticket kiosks kill jobs. But this is childish thinking. In
the 1800s, nearly all Americans worked on farms. Now 1 percent do. Farm workers found other jobs, often better jobs. So did horseshoers, phone operators and secretaries. (Today’s high unemployment is caused by suffocating regulation, not computerization.) James Miller, author of “Singularity Rising,” says that a future with little hard work left for humans sounds like “an economic utopia.” He says that trying to prevent progress by machines would be as destructive as if we’d outlawed the rise of cars, buses and modern trains. But Miller does fear the computer revolution will be different: “The analogy would be: 100 years ago, we breed super intelligent horses. That permanently have would destroyed a lot of jobs.” I’m more optimistic. As with so many innovations in the past, I’ll bet that handing off tasks to machines will make our lives better by freeing us up to focus on activities that we enjoy more. Robots will make our future better. If they don’t kill us.

Bored and lonely teen should find hobby to fill her time DEAR ABBY: My 19-yearold sister died two years ago from an overdose. I’m 13. We were very close when we were little, but during the four years before she passed away, my parents didn’t want us around each other for fear of her rubbing off on me, and she wasn’t home half the time anyway. A year earlier she went to rehab, and I re m e m b e r talking with DEAR her about how she was clean for good and then ... It’s just so lonely! All my friends have sisters and brothers JEANNE and I don’t, PHILLIPS and I’m bored all the time. My parents work a lot, so I’m home alone at least three times a week, and although I’ve got friends and sports, I’m just really alone. It’s awkward going out to dinner or going on vacation because my parents just want to sit and relax, and I want to go out and do things, but it’s embarrassing going everywhere with your parents. I miss having her around. — ALONE IN OHIO DEAR ALONE: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your sister. You are still grieving, which is why you say you feel alone. However, if you think about it, because of her addiction, she has been out of your life for longer than two years. It may be that what you're really mourning is the relationship you MIGHT have had. You say you have friends. If you listen to them talk, you may find that they, too, sometimes feel alone even if they have siblings. Many teenagers have told me this. Because you’re bored when you’re not with your friends or participating in sports, consider finding a hobby that will fill your time when your parents are working, or do some volunteering if they agree. You might also consider adopting a pet from a shelter to keep you company. Of course, pets require feeding, training, affection and exercise, but in return they offer unconditional love and companionship. If it would be all right with your parents, it might be a solution for you. DEAR ABBY: I met a guy online. We have been dating for some time now. We have a wonderful connection and have our dates on Skype. The problem is, we have never met in person. Every time we plan on meeting, he shuts up for a time, isn’t reachable, then suddenly reappears and makes excuses, asking me to forgive him and plan another meeting. Should I still believe this will happen anytime soon? — LEFT HANGING IN NAIROBI DEAR LEFT HANGING: I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but something smells fishy here. “Catfishy.” From where I sit, it appears your wonderful connection may be only your connection to the Internet. A person who does this repeatedly may not be who he has represented himself to be. Do not count on him for ANYthing. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

State Women’s rights measure qualifies for ballot STATE SALEM (AP) — A proposed equal-rights amendment for women has qualified for Oregon’s November ballot. The secretary of state’s office said Monday the petitioners have turned in more than 118,000 valid signatures, about 2,000 more than needed to qualify a constitutional amendment. The measure was proposed by Leanne Littrell DiLorenzo of Portland, who founded a group called VoteERA. The measure would amend the state constitution to prohibit state and local governments from discriminating on the basis of gender. An Oregon Supreme Court ruling provides protection against gender-based discrimination, but amendment advocates say it’s important for women’s rights to be enshrined in the constitution.

How to prepare and store perfect salad greens I was way off base when I guessed “egg-gathering basket.” Leslie Hindman, host of the TV show “Appraisal Fair,” held up this round cage contraption with folding sides a n d asked us EVERYDAY to guess, CHEAPSKATE “ W h a t the heck is it?” S a l a d spinner was the r i g h t choice, but who k n e w people Mary w e r e Hunt wa s t i n g t h e i r money on needless pieces of kitchen equipment back in the 1880s? I used to have a salad spinner. It worked OK, but not as well as the currently popular Oxo model. Even it does not remove all of the water from a load of salad greens. And it takes up a lot of storage space. This does not mean I’ve abandoned my pet peeve for wet, soggy, limp salad greens. I’ve just discovered a better way to dry my salad greens for a lot less money and a fraction of the storage space required for a big bulky salad spinner. Self-spinner. You need a clean cotton pillowcase. Wash your greens well, shake off the excess water and stuff them into the pillowcase. Gather the open end into your hand so that it is completely closed and step outdoors. With great gusto, swing it around in circles for a minute or two, windmill style. The water will be thrown to the edges of the pillowcase due to centrifugal force, and then absorbed by the fabric. Your greens will be crisp and dry, you’l get a little exercise and entertain the neighbors at the same time. (If stepping outdoors is not convenient, just pin or tie the pillowcase closed and toss it in the washing machine on spin cycle for a minute or two. Seriously!) Bone-dry method. If you want to make sure every bit of moisture is removed before dressing the greens, toss the spin-dried greens with a few sheets of paper towel, each of which has been torn into quarters. The paper toweling will wick away the last traces of moisture. Just be sure to pick out all of the towel pieces before dressing the salad. S h o r t - t e r m s t o r a g e . If you’re not quite ready to assemble the salad, simply leave the greens in the damp pillowcase and put the whole thing back into the refrigerator. Long-term storage. You can store a large amount of lettuce (even if it’s been cleaned and spun dry) in a plastic container or zip-type bag lined with paper towels. Make sure your container is as airtight as possible, and store it in the refrigerator. Perk up soggy lettuce.

NEWS D I G E S T Kurdish leader cites ’new reality’ in Iraq IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — The president of Iraq’s ethnic Kurdish region declared Tuesday that “we are facing a new reality and a new Iraq” as the country considers new leadership for its Shiite-led government as an immediate step to curb a Sunni insurgent rampage. The comments by Kurdish President Massoud Barzani came as he met with visiting U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is pushing the central government in Baghdad to at least adopt new policies that would give more authority to Iraq’s minority Sunnis and Kurds.
Cochran, Rangel fight off challengers WASHINGTON (AP) — Six-term Sen. Thad Cochran’s Republican runoff against Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel stands as a test of whether decades of delivering federal largesse trumps conservative demands to slash government spending. The 76-year-old Cochran, the former Senate Appropriations Committee chairman who has steered billions of dollars back home, is locked in a tight race against the tea party-backed McDaniel, who was born the year Cochran came to Washington as a congressman. When no clear winner emerged from the June 3 primary, it forced a three-week campaign dash marked by bitter charges.
President will not interfere in verdicts CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Tuesday he will not interfere in court rulings, a day after three Al-Jazeera journalists were sentenced to seven years in prison in a verdict that produced an international outcry. The ruling, on terrorismrelated charges, stunned their families and brought a landslide of condemnation and calls for el-Sissi to intervene. According to Egypt’s constitution, the president has the right to issue a pardon or commute the sentences. U.S., Australian and other officials have urged el-Sissi to use this right to immediately release the journalists.

Pro-Russian demonstrators shout slogans in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, on Monday. Leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic met with former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, OSCE Ambassador Heidi Tagliavini, and Russian Ambassador in Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov, as insurgents promised to honor a cease-fire declared by the Ukrainian president and engage in more talks to help resolve the conflict.
Putin withdraws request to use force MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin asked parliament Tuesday to cancel a resolution sanctioning the use of military force in Ukraine, a move his Ukrainian counterpart heralded as a “practical step”toward bringing peace to a region roiled by a separatist insurgency. Putin’s announcement comes after pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine said Monday they would respect a cease-fire declared by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, raising hopes for an end to months of fighting that have killed hundreds and driven thousands from their homes. A statement on the Kremlin website announced that Putin had asked the head of Russia’s upper house of parliament to cancel his March 1 request authorizing the use of force on
Ukrainian territory. Russian parliament member Valery Shnyakin said the house would vote Wednesday on the issue, according to RIA Novosti. Russian markets, which have been rattled by the crisis in Ukraine and a host of sanctions by the U.S. and the European Union against Russian officials and businessmen, soared 1.6 percent Tuesday after the news, reaching a four-month high. The Russian leader had made the request after Ukraine’s pro-Russian president was ousted in February following months of street protests. In March, Ukraine’s Black Sea region of Crimea was annexed by Russia after being seized by troops that Putin later acknowledged were Russian army forces. Putin’s latest move reflects
an effort to de-escalate the crisis ahead of a visit Tuesday to Vienna, where he is meeting with officials from the Organization for Security and Co-operation who have helped broker peace talks between Kiev and Moscow. Kiev and Western governments have frequently accused Russia of supporting the rebels in the east and of amassing troops on the border for a possible invasion of Ukraine. But Poroshenko, Ukraine’s new president, lauded Putin’s announcement Tuesday. The cease-fire in east Ukraine appeared to be largely holding Tuesday,as soldiers at a checkpoint in Dovhenke, 30 miles north of the rebel stronghold of Slovyansk, were seen relaxing near the barricades or engaging in shooting drills.
Vladislav Seleznev, the spokesman for Ukraine’s operation in the east,said rebel forces attacked a Ukrainian base north of Slovyansk late Monday but there had been no fighting overnight. Troops at another government-controlled checkpoint just outside of Slovyansk, however, said they had come under sniper attack Tuesday morning. The OSCE chairman, Swiss President Didier Burkhalter, said in Vienna that “we need a cease-fire which lasts longer than five days to be able to start real dialogue,” the Austria Press Agency reported. The current ceasefire is due to expire on Friday evening. Burkhalter, who planned to meet with Putin later on Tuesday, said the OSCE was open to the idea of observing the cease-fire in eastern Ukraine.

Investigators eye pilots’ actions in Asiana crash WASHINGTON (AP) — Increasingly complex automated aircraft controls designed to improve safety are instead creating new opportunities for error, the head of the National Safety Board said Tuesday at a hearing on the crash last year of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco. The Asiana flight crew “over-relied on automated systems that they did not fully understand,” said Chris Hart, the NTSB’s acting chairman. “In their efforts to compensate for the unreliability of human performance, the designers of automated control systems have unwittingly created opportunities for new error types that can be even more serious than those they were seeking to avoid,” Hart said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of previously owned U.S. homes posted the best monthly gain in nearly three years in May, providing hope that housing is beginning to regain momentum lost over the past year.

US special forces face complex challenge in Iraq
Justices rebuff NJ’s effort on betting WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has left in place a ban on sports gambling in New Jersey, but a state lawmaker has introduced a bill that would make it legal under state law anyway. Both actions happened Monday. First, the justices let stand a lower court ruling of a state law to allow betting on sports. Later in the day, state Sen. Raymond Lesniak introduced a bill that would legalize sport gambling. He says he hopes the U.S. Justice Department will not challenge the bill if it is adopted.
of the Iraqi military, left leaderless by internal SunniShiite divisions. Experts suggest that while the elite commandos may be able to stop the immediate deterioration of Iraqi forces, it will require a far broader effort to quell the deep sectarian divide in the country and put systems in place to build more professional military leadership. The U.S. and Iraq on Monday reached a key agreement on legal protections that will enable up to 300 special operations forces to deploy in the country. Two teams of 12 members each
are already in Iraq and could begin their assessment this week, and another four teams are expected to go into the country soon. “They will be very good at improving the immediate tactical proficiency of some of the Iraqi military, but they will be less prepared to address the long-term health of the Iraqi army,” said retired Lt. Gen. James Dubik, who was in charge of training Iraqi forces in 2007 and 2008. In essence, he said, the U.S. teams will be “sharpening the tip of the spear, but not replacing the rotted staff with a new one.” In a string of battlefield vic-
tories, the Sunni militants have captured several key towns in the north and on the border with Syria, sending Iraqi troops fleeing. Abandoned by military leaders who may have felt alienated by the Shiite-led government, troops ran, leaving their weapons and equipment. “It’s a rapidly deteriorating situation,” said Rick Nelson, a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It’s a hot war. They have to get in and help stop the bleeding to get the Iraqi forces to be able to maintain stability and security in the country.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A strong earthquake near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands triggered a tsunami warning Monday, but only small waves measuring several inches hit coastal communities. The National Tsunami Warning Center canceled all tsunami warnings late Monday afternoon, about four hours after the earthquake struck. The magnitude-7.9 earthquake was centered about 13 miles southeast of Little Sitkin Island, or about 1,400 miles southwest of Anchorage. There were no reports of damage, said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Residents in some communities like Adak, which were first in line for the tsunami, did evacuate. “We’re seeing water leave our bay, so we do have everybody up on the Bering Hill area, where our primary evacuation center is at,” City Manager Layton Lockett told The Associated Press by telephone as he gathered some paperwork before heading out to join about 300 residents at the center. After the warning was canceled, he said everyone in town remains on alert. If anything significant were to happen, a siren will sound. “We will expect everyone to go back on the hill ASAP,” he said.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Islamic extremists have abducted 60 more girls and women and 31 boys from villages in northeast Nigeria, witnesses said Tuesday. Security forces denied the kidnappings. Nigeria’s government and military have been widely criticized for their slow response to the abductions of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped April 15. There was no way to safely and independently confirm the report from Kummabza, 95 miles from Maiduguri, capital of Borno state and headquarters of a military state of emergency that has failed to curtail near-daily attacks by Boko Haram fighters. Kummabza resident Aji Khalil said Tuesday the place abductions took Saturday in an attack in which four villagers were killed. Khalil is a member of one of the vigilante groups that have had some success in repelling Boko Haram attacks with primitive weapons. A senior local councilor from the village’s Damboa local government told The Associated Press that abductions had occurred but insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to give information to reporters. He said elderly survivors of the attack had walked some 15 milesto the relative safety of other villages.

said the IRS went to great lengths trying to retrieve lost documents on Lerner’s computer, even sending it to the agency’s forensic lab. In 2011, the IRS had a policy of backing up emails on computer tapes, but the tapes were recycled every six months, Koskinen said. He said Lerner’s hard drive was recycled and presumably destroyed. The IRS was able to generate 24,000 Lerner emails from the 2009 to 2011 period because she had copied in other IRS employees. Overall, the IRS said it is producing a total of 67,000 emails to and from Lerner, covering the period from 2009 to 2013. The IRS inspector general is investigating the lost emails, Koskinen said.

PORTLAND (AP) — A fishing guide whose boat capsized last week, leaving one man dead, said he was headed back to shore because of Coast Guard warnings about rough going at the notorious Columbia River Bar. The guide, Tyler Courtney of Oregon City, took a party of five out Friday for what started as a good day for fishing, The Oregonian reported. Marine weather forecasts showed no restrictions, the weather was sunny, and the river was a bit choppy — nothing, Courtney said, he hadn’t seen before. But by 8:30 a.m., the Coast Guard said conditions

Ten to 15 minutes from shore, Courtney said, a swell hit the 25-foot boat, water slammed the windshield, and the vessel sank immediately. “It happened so instantaneously,” Courtney said. “Nobody saw it coming.” He said his life jacket got trapped underneath the windshield, and he had to wiggle out of it to swim back up. People aboard a boat following close behind scooped up five survivors, including Courtney.

New indictment adds charges Continued from Page A1 County jail awaiting trial, Moore began writing a book. “He claimed it was a work of fiction, but it matched up with his life pretty closely,” said District Attorney Paul Frasier. Moore eventually allowed another inmate to read the manuscript. That inmate told police that it contained information about the alleged sexual abuse, and a jail supervisor seized the document for investigators. The book proved key in securing a conviction on the rape charges, but the appeals court ruled that its seizure violated Moore’s rights against unreasonable search and seizure under the Oregon Constitution. The state, the court ruled, “may not subject a pretrial detainee’s noncontraband property to a warrantless seizure solely for the purpose of obtaining evidence.” With the rape charges set for trial again this fall, Frasier said he’s also pursuing an aspect of the case he didn’t the first time around. During the original rape trial, investigators found evidence that Moore had attempted to hire someone to kill two people while he was
incarcerated. A trial on those charges was scheduled for March 2009, but Frasier had the charges dismissed without prejudice, saying in a statement at the time that he didn’t think further prosecution was in taxpayers’ best interest. On Monday, Barron arraigned Moore on both charges under a new indictment. Both solicitation and conspiracy to commit aggravated murder carry a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison without parole. Barron set the murderfor-hire charges for trial Nov. 18. Moore will have an opportunity for a change of plea Aug. 4.

North Coos earns split at Sheldon THE WORLD North Coos pulled out its second road split of an American Legion league doubleheader Monday, grabbing an 11-7 win in nine innings in the nightcap against Sheldon in Eugene. North Coos is 2-2 in Area 4 North Division play. Sheldon won the opening game 17-8, though North Coos got some momentum late with five runs in the fifth inning and three more in the sixth. Hunter Jackson and Emmett Cook each scored two runs for North Coos, which had five hits while batting around in the sixth inning. Jon Bennison had RBI singles in each inning and Marshall Rice also drove in a run in both innings. Jackson had three hits in the game. But Sheldon scored at least four runs in three different innings to pull out the win. In the nightcap, Sheldon scored four runs in the first inning and then forced extra innings with three runs in the bottom of the seventh. But North Coos won the game with four runs in the ninth. Victor Lahr had a one-out double to left and then Rice kept the inning alive by reaching base on an error with two outs. Jared Hampel had an infield single to short, Cook reached on an error and Bennison had an RBI double to left to bring in Cook with the final run. North Coos had plenty of offense in the game. Lahr had a single and double and scored two runs. Rice had two hits and two runs. Bennison was 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBIs and Hampel had two hits and three RBIs. Jackson, Robert Martino and Trey Cornish each had two hits. Bennison also pitched the first eight innings and was one out from winning the game in regulation when Sheldon’s Trevor Vill hit a three-run homer. Vill also scored four runs in the first game. Martino pitched the ninth inning to pick up the save in relief of Bennison. North Coos will be in Southern Oregon for its next two doubleheaders, visiting Cascade Christian in Medford on Wednesday for a nonleague twin bill and then visiting the Grants Pass Miners for a league doubleheader Friday.

Roger Federer plays a backhand return to Paolo Lorenzi during their first-round match at Wimbledon today. Federer won in straight sets.
Federer rolls to easy Wimbledon win LONDON (AP) — The man with the most major titles in tennis came up against the player with the second-worst record in Grand Slam history. So it was no surprise that Roger Federer strolled to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory today over Paolo Lorenzi, a one-sided encounter that gave the Swiss star a quick workout to start his quest for an eighth Wimbledon crown and 18th Grand Slam championship. Federer lost here in the second round last year to No. 116 Sergei Stakhovsky, but was never in danger against the 83rd-ranked Italian. The fourth-seeded Federer served nine aces, saved all five break points against him and broke Lorenzi six times. The only suspense came near the end of the match when Lorenzi saved five match points while serving at 2-5 in a game that went to eight deuces. Federer held serve in the next game, finishing the match with an ace.
“I thought I played very well, served well, played the transition game, came to the net,” Federer said. “You want to be eager to play, motivated, not wanting to underestimate anybody and win the tournament and that’s why I’m here.” Federer and Lorenzi are both 32, but that’s where the similarities end. For the Italian, the loss extended his career Grand Slam record to 0-13. Only one player, Juan-Antonio Marin of Costa Rica, has a worse record, with no wins and 17 losses. Earlier, No. 14 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga needed just four points and two minutes to advance over Jurgen Melzer after rain forced suspension of their first-round match in the fifth set Monday. Tsonga won 6-1, 3-6, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka, meanwhile, served 18 aces and cruised to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 win over Joao Sousa of Portugal. The fifth-seeded Swiss player
was coming off a first-round loss at the French Open in his first Grand Slam since winning his first major at Melbourne in January. It was also Wawrinka’s first win since 2011 at the All England Club, where he had lost in the opening round the past two years. Normally, the reigning women’s champion would play the day’s opening match on Centre Court. But Marion Bartoli retired shortly after winning last year’s title, leaving the honor to runnerup Sabine Lisicki. The 19th-seeded German fared much better in her return to Centre Court, needing just 57 minutes to put away Julia Glushko of Israel 6-2, 6-1. As if she needed any help, Lisicki benefited from a net cord on the final point, holding up her arms in apology but also smiling in victory. “Such a huge honor to play out there in the first match today,” Lisicki said. “It is such a special place for me.”
Before the match, Bartoli returned to Centre Court, wiping away tears during a tribute to Elena Baltacha, the British player who died of liver cancer on May 4 at the age of 30. Wearing her Wimbledon member’s tag on her white dress, Bartoli was accompanied by 9-year-old Elle RobusMiller, a player from the Elena Baltacha Academy of Tennis for underprivileged children. “I think it was a very, very special moment,” Lisicki said. Early women’s winners included No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who completed a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Andreea Mitu of Romania. Radwanska led 4-2 when rain stopped play Monday. Caroline Wozniacki reeled off four consecutive games to complete a 6-3, 6-0 win over Israel’s Shahar Peer in another rain-suspended match. Past champion Maria Sharapova also won. SEE WIMBLEDON | B2
Drafting a big man comes with big risks MIAMI (AP) — Greg Oden has had years to think about the plight of his knees, and still has no good answers. The No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA draft is a poster child for big man bad luck, an epidemic that’s been sweeping the league for years. The latest victim seems to be Joel Embiid, a 7-footer expected to be the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s draft before a recently suffered stress fracture in his right foot almost certainly robbed the former Kansas star of that chance. “My body did what it wanted,” Oden said. “It didn’t do what I wanted.” Oden a few weeks ago recalled the frustration of his situation. But he and Embiid are hardly alone. For every huge success story like the ones from Shaquille O’Neal, David Robinson, Tim Duncan and Hakeem Olajuwon, there’s been the cautionary tales of Sam Bowie, Pervis Ellison, Michael Olowokandi, Kwame Brown and Oden. Big men, big risks and often, big problems. NBA teams remain undeterred. That’s good news for Embiid — after all, despite Oden’s litany of problems, he’s currently on an NBA roster. Still, Embiid might lose some big money Thursday. If he was the No. 1 pick, he would have been guaranteed about $14.4 million for his first three years in the NBA. If he slides to just No. 10, his rookie-deal salary for those first three years would be about $8.1 million less. “Joel will be unable to participate in any additional workouts, and will not attend the draft in New York,” agent Arn Tellem said.
The Associated Press
Kansas center Joel Imbiid was considered the likely top pick in Thursday’s NBA draft until he had foot surgery last week. Embiid already had some health questions, mostly regarding a balky back that affected him toward the end of his final college season with Kansas. Now he’s had foot surgery and could be out for up to six months, likely ending his rookie season before it starts. That doesn’t make Embiid unique. His situation could turn out to be similar to what former Kentucky star Nerlens Noel faced this past season. Noel was recovering from a torn knee ligament, an injury that ended his college career and quite probably cost him a chance to be the No. 1 pick. Despite the injury, he was still drafted No. 6 by New Orleans and traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. And with the Philadelphia currently holding seven picks in this draft, it’s easy to wonder if
the 76ers would consider grabbing Embiid and giving him a year to recover in the same manner that they did with Noel. “I feel for him,” Noel told reporters in Kentucky after Embiid’s injury was announced. “He’s had all that pressure and all that expectation. He’s just got to stay positive and keep working on himself ... do what he can do, because everything else is out of his control.” There’s no shortage of big men who have buckled under the weight of big expectations. Ellison was the No. 1 pick in 1989, got injured as a rookie and basically had only one great season as a pro. Kent Benson, the No. 1 pick in 1977, averaged 9.1 points per game in his career. Hasheem Thabeet was the No. 2 pick in 2009; he’s averaged 2.2 points per game since. Olowokandi was an enormous bust at No. 1, slogging through an injury-plagued career and never averaging more than 12.3 points in a season. And Michael Jordan will forever be tied to perhaps the two biggest big-man draft blunders: He was picked one spot after Sam Bowie went at No. 2 to Portland in 1984, and Jordan wound up taking Brown first overall in 2001. For as much as Bowie’s career was derailed by injuries — and for as much as he was a punch line for years — he still scored 1,529 more NBA points than Brown did, despite playing 96 fewer games. “When was the last time there was a great big?” Miami Heat President Pat Riley said last week. “Anthony Davis is a power forward. He’s quite a talent. So there’s a few guys that have made it but find the 7-foot centers, the prototype center. I haven’t seen one of those guys out there for a long time.”
James opts out of contract with Miami Heat MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James is heading back to free agency. James has told the Miami Heat that he is opting out of the final two years of his contract, his agent, Rich Paul, told The Associated Press today. And with that, James will become a free agent on July 1. “I have informed the Heat,” Paul said. That does not mean James is leaving Miami — but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be in a Heat uniform next season, either. A person briefed on the matter and familiar with James’ thinking told AP that he has not decided where
he will play next season. “There’s no other decision yet,” that person said. James addressed the lure of having flexibility last week in his exit interview after the Heat lost to San Antonio in the NBA Finals. Among his options: He could leave Miami entirely, join another team if he feels that better positions himself to win more championships, or sign a longer-term deal in Miami and afford the Heat some financial flexibility of their own in relation to the salary cap and luxury tax. “Being able to have flexibility as a professional, anyone, that’s
what we all would like,” James said last week. “That’s in any sport, for a football player, a baseball player, a basketball player, to have flexibility and be able to control your future or your present. I have a position to be able to do that. ... There’s a lot of times that you’re not in control of your future as a professional.” The other two Miami stars with early termination options — Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — have not yet told the Heat or publicly revealed whether they will join James as free agents this summer. Bosh and James both said last week that the three would meet
before deciding anything about their respective futures. Each signed six-year deals when they famously teamed up in Miami in 2010, and all of those deals came with options to become free agents either this summer or in the summer of 2015. “There’s a conversation that will be had between the three of us,” James said last week. “I think it’s only right. I think we’ve earned that for each other, to have a conversation and see what could possibly happen.” James had about $42.7 million remaining on his deal with the Heat.

Three Rivers falls in Salem From Page B1

North Coos hosts Cascade Christian on Sunday.
Three Rivers loses Meanwhile, in Salem, the Three Rivers Sandblasters came up short against the Withnell Dodgers, falling 7-4 in an Area 3 league contest. The game was tied at 2-all heading to the bottom of the seventh, but Withnell scored twice in the seventh and added three more runs in the eighth to break the game open. John Dodson and Pete Lahte had three hits each for Three Rivers and Taylor Travess had a single and triple. Zach Inskeep had an RBI double in the loss. Three Rivers fell to 1-8 for the season, their one win coming Sunday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Canyon Crushers. Three Rivers won the opener 6-5, but lost the nightcap 12-6. In the win, Travess went 4-for-5, including a threerun double, and Dodson pitched eight innings, allowing seven hits. Andrew Sharp pitched the ninth to pick up the save. Inskeep had three hits for Three Rivers. The Sandblasters visit Corvallis for a doubleheader Wednesday against the Gerding Builders. Corvallis is the only team in Area 3 that Three Rivers hasn’t yet faced.
WIMBLEDON From Page B1 Among the men, No. 10 Kei Nishikori was a straightset winner over Kenny de Schepper. In late Monday matches, Venus Williams advanced, but 27th-seeded Garbine Muguruza, the 20-year-old Spaniard who surprisingly beat Serena Williams in the second round of the French Open last month, was among the losers. Muguruza, meanwhile, saved a hard-to-believe 12 match points but couldn’t erase No. 13, double-faulting twice in a row to get edged 63, 3-6, 7-5 by 22-year-old CoCo Vandeweghe, an American ranked 51st.

Brazil’s Neymar celebrates after scoring his team’s first goal against Cameroon during their match Monday.
Brazil wins World Cup group THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRASILIA, Brazil — Neymar lived up to the expectations of the World Cup host nation Monday, scoring two goals as Brazil routed Cameroon 4-1 to reach the knockout stage as the top team in Group A. The 22-year-old forward netted twice in the first half, on either side of midfielder Joel Matip’s goal for Cameroon in the 26th minute. Fred and Fernandinho added second-half goals for Brazil, which will face South American rival Chile in the second round. Neymar opened the scoring off a low cross by midfielder Luiz Gustavo in the 17th, deftly side-footing the ball home from close range, then restored the lead with a low right-foot strike from the top of the penalty area in the 35th after a pass by left back Marcelo. “If I’m not mistaken this is our best game yet,” Neymar said. “Everyone deserves congratulations for their efforts until the end.” Brazil finished Group A with seven points after two wins and a draw. It ended with the same points as Mexico, but had a better goal difference. Playing in its 100th World Cup match, Brazil needed at least a draw to advance. Elimination in the group stage would have been unthinkable for the five-time world champions playing at
home. The only team to play in all 20 World Cups, Brazil has advanced to the second round in every tournament since 1970. Mexico 3, Croatia 1: Mexico surged into the World Cup’s knockout stage for a sixth straight time with an emphatic win over Croatia. Rafael Marquez, Andres Guardado and Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez scored in a 10-minute span in the second half, dooming a talented Croatia side to elimination from the group stage. The Croatians had to win to advance and held the bulk of possession, but had trouble seriously threatening goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who kept out all efforts in the group stage until an 87thminute consolation goal from Ivan Perisic. Netherlands 2, Chile 0: Leroy Fer scored a minute after coming on as a substitute to help give the Netherlands a victory over Chile and seal the top spot in Group B with its third consecutive win. Fer had only just replaced Wesley Sneijder when he rose almost unmarked in the Chile penalty area to put the Dutch ahead with a powerful 77thminute header. Another substitute, Memphis Depay, tapped in a cross from Arjen Robben in stoppage time to double the lead. Both teams had already advanced to the second round, but Chile’s first loss of
the tournament consigned it to second place in the group. The Dutch now travel to Fortaleza to play Mexico, which finished second in Group A behind Brazil. Spain 3, Australia 0: Spain, the 2010 champion, salvaged some World Cup pride with a lopsided win over Australia in its last match at the tournament. After losing their previous matches in Group B to the Netherlands and Chile, both teams went into the match knowing they could not advance to the second round. David Villa, on his 97th and final appearance, put Spain ahead in the 36th minute with his record 59th goal, guiding Juanfran Torres’ pass into the net with the inside of his right foot. Fernando Torres doubled Spain’s lead in the 69th as he steered the ball past Australia goalkeeper Maty Ryan. Juan Mata added a third in the 82nd from close range after. Though nothing rested on the game, Spain showed some of the football that has seen it dominate the game over the past six years — winning Euro 2008, its first World Cup in South Africa in 2010 and then Euro 2012. As a result of its victory, Spain avoided the worst World Cup title defense in history. That label remains with the France team of 2002, which only secured one point in its goal-less campaign.
Americans and Germans will play to win PORTO SEGURO, Brazil (AP) — There won’t be friendly phone calls, there won’t be any dirty deals. That’s the promise from both sides ahead of Germany’s final Group G match against the United States. A draw on Thursday in Recife would see both teams advance to the knockout stage at the expense of Portugal and Ghana, who play at the same time in Brasilia. Both sides have been answering questions about a possible conspiracy, or as the Germans call it, a “nonaggression pact,” and both have sharply rejected any suggestions of a deal. No wonder the questions are being asked, since the Germans were jointly responsible for one of the more shameful episodes in World Cup history. Germany scored after 10 minutes against Austria at the 1982 World Cup in Gijon, Spain, and the two teams just knocked the ball around for the next 80 minutes since the outcome guaranteed a slot in the next round for both. It also eliminated Algeria, which had stunned Germany 2-1 in their opener. After that match, FIFA made sure that final group matches are played simulta-
Altidore will miss match SAO PAULO (AP) — Jozy Altidore will miss the United States’ World Cup game against Germany on Thursday because of his strained left hamstring. The forward was injured in the Americans’ opening 21 win against Ghana on June 16 and didn’t play in Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Portugal. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said today that if the Americans qualify for the knockout stage, “we’ll have a good chance to have him back again.” neously, to reduce the possibility of a ‘gentlemen’s agreement.’ Germany and the United States are linked in many ways. Five players on the U.S. team have American fathers and German mothers, with four of them playing in the Bundesliga. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann was a star of the Germany team that won the last of its three World Cup titles in 1990. He also scored when the two teams last met at a World Cup, a 2-0 victory for Germany at the 1998 tournament in France. In 2006 at home, Klinsmann guided Germany to a third-place finish as coach, with assistant Joachim Loew, who is now Germany’s coach. Berti Vogts, one of Klinsmann’s staff, was the coach of
Germany when it won its last title, the 1996 European Championship. Loew and Klinsmann remain good friends, but Loew has said he would not be talking to Klinsmann during the tournament. Klinsmann too has dismissed any collusion. “I don’t think that we are made for draws, really, except if it happens like tonight — two late goals, last seconds,” Klinsmann said after his team’s 2-2 draw with Portugal, which scored deep into stoppage time. “I think both teams go into this game and they want to win the group.” “You’re talking about a game (in Gijon) that is decades away that is only part of the Germany history and not the United States,” Klinsmann said. “The United
States is known to give everything they have in every single game. ... We have that fighting spirit. We have that energy and that determination to do well in every single game.” The German camp was equally indignant about any suggestions of a fix. “It would be highly unsportsmanlike and unfair to other teams if anyone on the pitch had such thoughts,” defender Mats Hummels said. Assistant coach Hansi Flick said Germany “wanted to win the match and finish first in the group.” Germany and the United States both have four points, while Ghana and Portugal have one each. Both Germany and the U.S. could even afford to lose and still advance, depending on the outcome of the other match. Germany has an edge because of its superior goal difference (+4) over the Americans (+1). Hummels said he was surprised by the quality of the U.S. team’s play at the World Cup. “They are playing a very good tournament. I did not expect them to be so strong. They beat us last year 4-3 (in a friendly) and clearly they are a good team,” Hummels said.

Judge hints he may rule against Donald Sterling LOS ANGELES — With a $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers hanging in the balance, a judge suggested the terms of a family trust are clear enough to remove Donald Sterling as a trustee and allow his estranged wife to sell the team without his consent. At one point, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas said the Sterlings’ trust agreement is so unambiguous that “I could decide this case in five minutes.” At the center of the volatile court battle are reports from three doctors who examined the 80-yearold Sterling and found he shows symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. His lawyers argued he should be able to call his own experts at a trial set for July 7. The judge said the trust agreement provides that if two doctors examined Sterling and found he lacked the capacity to manage his own affairs, he would be removed as a trustee. There is no provision to contest the decision, he said.

SOCCER Timbers sign Nigerian player to contract PORTLAND — The Portland Timbers have exercised the team’s option to purchase the contract of Nigerian forward Fanendo Adi from his Danish club, FC Copenhagen. The Timbers signed Adi to a multiyear contract as a designated player. Adi has four goals and two assists in six appearances with the Timbers this season. He came to Portland on loan from the Danish first-division club in May. The 23-year-old striker had two goals in each of his first two starts this season, making him the first Timbers player with a pair of braces in a single season. He was named Major League Soccer’s player of the week following his two goals in a 31 victory over Real Salt Lake on June 7. Terms of the deal were not announced.

SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan could have easily gone out on top, with his fifth NBA championship trophy under his arm and his health intact just a few months after his 38th birthday. There’s just no way. Duncan is having too much fun with his San Antonio Spurs coaches and teammates, and he’s playing too well to call it quits now. Duncan has decided to exercise the option on his contract for 2014-15 and will return next season. Since he was drafted No. 1 overall in 1997, Duncan leads all NBA players in wins and has won two MVP awards and three NBA Finals MVPs.
the Commodores (50-20), doubling twice in the third inning. His second double came off reliever Whit Mayberry with the bases loaded to put Vanderbilt up 9-2. But Virginia (52-15) chipped away, scoring three runs in the third, two in the fifth and another in the eighth to make it a one-run game. Adam Ravenelle came on in the ninth to get the last three outs for his second save of the CWS.
— Neb. OMAHA, Vanderbilt capitalized on Virginia starter Nathan Kirby’s sudden loss of control to score nine runs in the third inning, then held off the Cavaliers to win 9-8 in the opener of the best-of-three College World Series finals. Tyler Campbell continued his improbable breakout for
PORTLAND — The University of Oregon says three former basketball players have been suspended as students for a minimum of four years, and up to 10 years, as a result of rape allegations involving a freshman student. University spokeswoman Julie Brown confirmed the suspensions. Dotson, Damyean Dominic Artis and Brandon Austin were dismissed from the team last month after a student filed a police report alleging she was sexually assaulted by the players. Prosecutors decided there wasn’t enough evidence to criminally charge the players, who said the sexual contact was consensual. John Clune, the attorney for the alleged victim, said the suspensions are dependent on how long the woman remains at the school. He said it would have been hard for her to continue if the players remained on campus.

Sports Mariners give Hernandez rare burst of run support THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez threw seven strong innings to win for the first time since June 2 as Seattle beat visiting Boston 12-3 on Monday. Logan Morrison hit two long homers for Seattle, which won its fourth straight after a weekend sweep in Kansas City. The Mariners finally provided Hernandez (9-2) the run support lacking in his last three starts and battered right-hander John Lackey (8-5) in his shortest outing since September 2011. Seattle had scored one run total while Hernandez was on the mound in his previous three starts. After falling behind early, Seattle blew the game open in the fourth, capped by Endy Chavez’s bases-loaded triple off Lackey. Seattle sent 10 batters to the plate and scored three times with two outs. Blue Jays 8, Yankees 3: Adam Lind hit a three-run home run in his return to the starting lineup and Toronto handed New York its third straight loss. Orioles 6, White Sox 4: Chris Davis hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift Baltimore past Chicago. Davis was excluded from the starting lineup after bat-
ting just .130 in his previous 14 starts. Called upon by manager Buck Showalter with runners on MLB first and second Recap and one out in the ninth, Davis launched a 3-2 pitch from Ronald Belisario (3-4) into the seats in right field. Davis, who led the majors in home runs and RBIs last year, started the game in the dugout with a .216 batting average and 78 strikeouts in 218 at-bats.
NATIONAL LEAGUE Padres 6, Giants 0: Cuban defector Odrisamer Despaigne pitched seven innings in his major league debut to lead San Diego. Tommy Medica hit a tworun double off Matt Cain (16) to give the crafty Despaigne (1-0) the support he needed to get the win. Despaigne had a 6.03 ERA in seven minor league starts in his first season as a professional after defecting from Cuba last summer. But he kept the Giants off-balance all game by changing his arm angle and mixing in big, slow curveballs with his harder pitches. Marlins 4, Phillies 0: Casey McGehee hit a two-
run double and Nathan Eovaldi (5-3) pitched six-hit ball into the seventh inning to lead Miami. Phillies starter Roberto Hernandez (3-6) allowed two runs and three hits, striking out six in six innings. Hernandez lined a single to right in the third inning for his first career hit after going 0-for-40. Reds 6, Cubs 1: Devin Mesoraco hit a grand slam with two outs in Cincinnati’s five-run ninth inning. Mesoraco went deep for the fourth straight game, driving a 1-0 pitch from Hector Rondon (1-2) into the basket in left-center for his 13th homer. Billy Hamilton had a tiebreaking RBI single earlier in the inning as Cincinnati won for the sixth time in seven games to move above .500 for the first time this season at 38-37. Nationals 3, Brewers 0: Gio Gonzalez (4-4) combined with three relievers to hold Milwaukee’s potent lineup to three hits, and Adam LaRoche hit a threerun homer to lead Washington. Cardinals 8, Rockies 0: Lance Lynn (8-5) allowed three hits in eight innings and Matt Adams had two homers and a career-high six RBIs to lead St. Louis.

Seattle shortstop Brad Miller throws to first after forcing out Boston’s Jonny Gomes at second base in the ninth inning Monday. Adams’ big night included a two-run single in the third, a solo shot in the fifth and a three-run homer in the seventh. This was the third multihomer game of his career.
INTERLEAGUE Pirates 8, Rays 1: Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer to back the pitching of Edinson Volquez (5-6) as Pittsburgh beat Tampa Bay. Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-5, drove in two runs and stole two bases for the Pirates in a homecoming of sorts for the 2013 NL MVP, who grew up in nearby Fort Meade and had never played
before at Tropicana Field. He also scored twice in Pittsburgh’s first appearance in St. Petersburg since 2003. Royals 5, Dodgers 3: Jeremy Guthrie (5-6) pitched into the eighth inning, Jarrod Dyson drove in two runs off Zack Greinke (9-4) and Kansas City ended a fourgame losing streak. Dyson, the Royals’ No. 9 hitter, went 3-for-3 and stole two bases. Salvador Perez hit a solo home run, and Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar — two of the players acquired by the Royals in the trade that sent Greinke to Milwaukee in December 2010 — drove in a run apiece.
Dominik Hasek, Mike Modano, Peter Forsberg and Rob Blake are headed into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The four players were among six selected Monday for induction in November. The late Pat Burns will be enshrined as a coach in the builder category along with referee Bill McCreary,who was an official for nearly 2,000 games. Hasek, who was known as “the Dominator,” won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender six times. He won two Hart Trophies as league MVP in 1997 and 1998 with the Buffalo Sabres. He was with the Detroit Red Wings when he hoisted the Stanley Cup in 2002. Modano had 561 career goals and 1,374 points, both of which are records for players born in the U.S. Forsberg and Blake, who both won Stanley Cups with Colorado, are in the Triple Gold Club, a select group of hockey players who have won a Cup, Olympic and world gold medals. Burns, who coached the New Jersey Devils to the 2003 Stanley Cup title, died of cancer at 58 in 2010. The police officer-turned-hockey coach won the Adams Trophy as the NHL’s top coach with three teams: Toronto, Montreal and Boston.
