Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878

Tenmile Lakes algae conundrum “We’ve been at this for four years, with nothing to show for it.” Vaughn Rains, Lakeside property owner

Report: Oregon highway funding a model for nation BY LIZZY DUFFY Oregon Public Broadcasting PORTLAND — With states bracing for the possible end of the Highway Trust Fund, some are looking to Oregon’s evolving pay-per-mile program as a possible model for funding the nation’s highways. The Highway Trust is funded by the federal gas tax, which hasn’t changed since 1993. The fund is drying up in large part because it hasn’t kept pace with inflation. In Oregon specifically, there are a number of problems with transportation funding, including falling federal and state revenues, construction cost increases and more fuel-efficient cars on the road. There are some short-term solutions, like adjusting the gas tax for inflation, or finding ways to make construction costs cheaper, but The Atlantic’s CityLab reports that Oregon’s per-mile charging program may be a model that other states could replicate. You may have heard about the program last year when the Legislature passed Senate Bill 810, aka the “Road Usage Charge Program,” which allows the Oregon Department of Transportation to set up a new system that will track a driver’s mileage. Drivers then pay taxes on the distance they travel, at about 1.5 cents per mile. Annually, you’d pay about $210 if you’re traveling 14,000 miles a year. CityLab’s Eric Jaffe notes that while the current system is “fundamentally broken,” the Oregon system’s beauty is its “flexibility:” First is the way people pay. As Oregon learned over time, some people are scared to have government track all the mileage they drive. Fair enough. So the state offers five levels of mileage-based payment options, from a simple odometer reading to precise GPS monitoring via smartphones. There are benefits to the more invasive option — namely, the GPS knows when you’re on private roads, which means you aren’t

Strands of small algae float in a plastic cup filled with water Tuesday.The water was drawn from South Tenmile Lake at the county’s park and boat ramp. As the summer heats up the water, the algae will get larger and there is a strong chance of toxic algae blooms in the lakes.

No consensus Tenmile Lakes work group struggles to agree on blue-green algae fix BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

LAKESIDE — Tenmile Lakes’ bluegreen algae problem-solving team still can’t agree on a solution. A lack of consensus has plagued the Tenmile Lakes work group for years since blue-green algae began blooming in the lake. “We’ve been at this for four years, with nothing to show for it,” Lakeside property owner Vaughn Rains said at

the work group’s Wednesday meeting. The majority want to create a special water improvement district to funnel tax dollars toward a solution. But the group missed the May deadline to put a district on the November ballot. Now, they need to decide whether to put it to a vote in May or November next year, or find another avenue that could solve the toxic problem. “I think it’s really important that we have a district because the lake needs to be helped in more than just one

way,” work group member Tim Bishop said. “We were making very good progress until it came to boundaries.” That’s when the group hit a wall: They couldn’t agree whether the district should include only property owners surrounding the lake or whether local businesses that benefit from the lake, the entire city of Lakeside and/or surrounding agricultural and timber land should cough up SEE ALGAE | A8

Billions in improper payments

NATION

WASHINGTON — Tax credits for families that don’t qualify. Medicare payments for treatments that might not be necessary. Unemployment benefits for people who are secretly working. Federal agencies reported making $100 billion in payments last year to people who may not have been entitled to receive them. Congressional investigators say the figure could be even higher. “The amounts here are absolutely staggering,” said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. “It’s over $100 billion each of the last five years. That’s a staggering half a trillion dollars in improper payments.” Mica chairs the House Oversight government operations subcommittee, which held a hearing on improper payments Wednesday. Each year, federal agencies are required to estimate the amount of improper payments they issue. They include overpayments, underpayments, payments to the wrong recipient and payments that were made without proper documentation. Some improper payments are the result of fraud, while others are unintentional, caused by clerical errors or mistakes in awarding benefits without proper verification. In 2013, federal agencies made

Cooperation puts skeeters on the run Our view Agency cooperation worked to avoid the havoc wrought by mistakes of a year ago.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

If you were anywhere near Bandon a year ago, you either were inundated by the dreaded Aedes dorsalis saltwater marsh mosquitoes, or at least heard a lot about them. The aggressive little blood-suckers blossomed as an unintended consequence of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reclamation effort at Bandon Marsh. By some accounts, mosquitoes were terrorizing residents and chasing away summertime visitors. The issue finally got state and federal politicians involved, all demanding that the USFWS bureaucracy be damned and the agency step in with a plan and funding to back it up. And in the end, the agency overrode its own bureaucratic

rules and ponied up funds for spraying and other abatement measures. It also backed away from further reclamation efforts. This year, if you believe the data, the mosquito infestation is a 10th of what it was last year. A count in one trap on the marsh around July 1 estimated 270 mosquitoes. Last year that number was 2,500. The difference? This year, local, county and federal officials were proactive. The Coos County Vector Assessment and Control Committee has been on the case since late last summer and this year hired a professional pest control company to begin larvicide applications. Even the hunting advocacy group Ducks

Unlimited is involved, helping USFWS to redesign a new channel system to facilitate better tidal flow throughout the marsh. Officials are even going to supply residents with bat houses to encourage the nocturnal mosquito-eaters to take up residence and begin gorging. In other words, Bandon doesn’t intend to get caught behind the eight ball again. Neither, we guess, does USFWS. Now, this doesn’t mean there aren’t still critics. Indeed, some wonder why we’re trusting the federal agency to fix the problem it created. And to a certain extent, that’s understandable. But, what’s the alternative,

other than eliminating the marsh altogether? That seems an excessive solution and would probably create other unintended problems. The Fish and Wildlife Service was, in our opinion, sufficiently apologetic and contrite when it accepted responsibility for the problem last year. That’s a lot to expect from your garden variety federal bureaucracy. And the agency has offered up funding, expertise and a willingness to collaborate again this year to help keep the situation under control. Let’s keep on working together and we can have both the marsh and a relatively mosquito-free summer.

Any civility left in campaigns? I’m not naive.I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. I’m not new to the rodeo. I have, reluctantly, come to the conclusion that attack ads and negative ads are part of politics. But, to tell you the truth, I’m sick of it. I’ll use the current campaign between U.S. Senate candidates Jeff Merkley and Dr. Monica Wehby. Merkley, of course, is the first-term incumbent. Wehby is a pediatric neurosurgeon. I have gotten dozens of emails, mainly from the Merkley campaign, that I consider negative. They don’t tout Merkley’s record and explain what his positions are on certain issues — they simply are negative toward Wehby. Wehby, of course, has been pretty silent since the May 20 primary, after Democrats found out about, and released information on alleged stalking complaints by her exhusband and a boyfriend — complaints that the principals say should STEVE never have happened. She LIDNSLEY also changed her campaign staff. Editor, Umpqua Post Here are just a few of the email headlines I’ve received in the past month. Merkley’s campaign: “Wehby Spends Another Week Blowing Off Oregon Voters & Press To Hobnob With Republican Senators In D.C.& New Orleans,” “TONIGHT AT 6PM In Oregon City: Wehby To (Maybe) End Three-Week Silence, Finally (Maybe) Answer Questions From the Press,” “New Poll: Merkley with “crushing” lead, up almost 20 and leading among women by 21,” “BACKGROUNDER: Monica Wehby Has Refused to Take a Position on Ending LGBT Workplace Discrimination,” “ICYMI: ‘Monica Wehby’s overhyped disaster: Why the Republican’s falling flat in Oregon,’” “TOTAL DISARRAY: Wehby “shakes up” staff, replaces campaign manager, ” “PHOTO RELEASE: Did Monica Wehby Win NRSC’s ‘Grab A Bite With Mitt’ Contest,” and “Monica Wehby Spends Another Week On Defense, Refusing To Answer Questions About Wehby-Romney Tax Plan Or Release Her Personal Financial Disclosure.” That’s just a few of the more than 50 email headlines I’ve received in the last month. Wow. Now, you may say “Steve, those sound like perfectly legitimate campaign emails.” I would rather hear about what they think and plan for the office than hear that they believe the other candidate doesn’t think or plan. To their credit, the Merkley campaign has also sent out emails regarding appropriations bills, e-cigarettes, student loans, Veterans Administration hospitals, The Federal Reserve, the shooting at Reynolds High School, oil trains, a job training bill and the recent Supreme Court decision regarding Hobby Lobby and contraception. Those are the emails I want to read as a voter. The only emails I received from the Wehby campaign during that same time period, in the midst of the staff change, were titled “MEDIA ADVISORY: Grassroots Gathering,” “Dr. Monica Wehby to celebrate America’s 238th birthday,” Monica Wehby to host veterans roundtable” and “Monica Wehby releases new web ad ‘Drive.’” I , for one, demand better campaigns. This isn’t the race for junior high class president. This the race for the U.S. Senate. Give me a reason to vote for you. Don’t give me a reason not to vote for the other candidate. And, who writes those headlines? I know. I know. It’s only politics. Steve Lindsley is editor of the Umpqua Post.

Letters to the Editor Political favorism rules the VA Your editorial of July 5, 2014, called for a “different kind of leadership for the VA.” I certainly agree. A viable new leader for the VA should have the following characteristics: should have started as an entry-level medical professional a decade or two ago; should have progressed upwards to middle management positions utilizing a merit-based promotion system; should have gained management experience across a range of specialties within the organization; and should have received specialized training in administrative skills so as to qualify for the top leadership position. In other words, the new leader should be an experienced professional who understands what has worked and what hasn’t

worked in the past, who is able to comprehend the staffing and organizational changes needed to meet current needs, and is committed to increasing the effectiveness and viability of the organization into the future. Will we ever see a leader with the above characteristics take office? The answer is a resounding no! You see, the top 446 managerial positions within the Department of Veterans Affairs are filled on a “noncompetitive” basis by political appointees. It is important to realize that “nonappointment” competitive means that the person selected does not have to demonstrate his/her education, training, experience, knowledge or suitability for the position as would be required were the position filled via the civil service system. Rather, political acceptability to the administration currently in

office is the main criterion. A document published by the Government Printing Office every four years, commonly called “The Plum Book,” lists all positions within all federal agencies that can be filled by political appointees. The 2012 edition documents that 8,045 top management positions can be filled thereby. The reality of the problems caused by this massive overlay of political appointees was summarized nicely by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker. He chaired a commission in 2003 that found that “federal programs and agencies run by political appointees suffer from poor management. Political appointees often do not have the management skills, policy expertise, agency experience or working networks that facilitate public management.” He further recommended that

the executive branch be reformed to reduce the number of political appointees. A few other numbers might be of interest locally. The U.S. Department of Energy is headed by 557 political appointees. The Federal Energy Regulatory Agency (FERC) is headed by 57 political appointees. Ron Sadler North Bend

Work together or die by suicide In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned us about the excesses of political parties. He said: Political parties ... serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party.” He added, “(Parties) are likely in the course of time and things ... to subvert the power of the people ... and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” Washington did not foresee the modern campaign tools that parties use to push Americans to partisan extremes. He did not foresee the technological revolution, the predominance of cable chatter, the creation of super PACs, and the enormous role of special interests — and that, as a result, the people themselves are driving partisanship. We know this thanks to Pew Research Center. Pew Research’s most recent findings on our partisan divisions are both shocking, and to some extent, comforting. Here’s the good news: “The majority (of Americans) do not have uniformly conservative or liberal views,” Pew tells us. “Most do not see either

party as a threat to the nation. And more believe their representatives in government should meet to halfway resolve contentious disputes rather DONNA than hold out BRAZILE for more of Columnist what they want.” And the not-so-good news: “(Partisan) ideological overlap between the two parties has diminished: Today, 92 percent of Republicans are to the right of the median Democrat, and 94 percent of Democrats are to the left of the median Republican.” Political scientists Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, who developed an objective scale to measure partisan leanings, find “Congress is now more polarized than at any time since the end of Reconstruction (following the Civil War).” Because the partisans are more vocal, and more involved in every step of the political process, the middle feels frustrated and disengaged from politics, allowing the partisans to become more intolerant, as they drive the discourse of

national life. In the daily emails I receive,and in my Twitter feed, I see how much partisan animosity has grown. The more a party aligns itself with a rigid ideology, the more the dislike and distrust of the “other” people. We have, rightfully, held gerrymandering responsible. We have, rightfully, held responsible the personal attacks and smear campaigns that portray the other party’s candidates as not just always wrong, but corrupt, depraved or even unAmerican. Gerrymandering cannot be solved by simply drawing geographic lines more equitably. That’s become almost impossible, as more and more people live only among those who share their politics. Increasingly, Americans are grouping geographically by politics. We have entered a vicious cycle: Vocal partisans drive our national politics, preferring a gridlocked Congress to a Congress that compromises and finds solutions. As a result, more and more Americans sort themselves out by a political theology, choosing to live in geographic enclaves where it is heretical to question that theology, which reinforces vocal partisanship. Here are a few of the overall

findings: 1. The number of Americans who are rigidly conservative or liberal has doubled in the last two decades. 2. Differences go beyond politics, affecting the daily life of where and among whom people live. 3. The political “center” has shrunk. More and more people, including independents, hold partisan viewpoints. Now, I don’t have a solution. Citizens who want a more moderate middle, a Congress that compromises, a greater nonpartisan approach on Capitol Hill,need to gather quickly and work out solutions. They need to hold town hall meetings this fall before going back to the polls to cast their ballots. On this 238th birthday of our nation, let me conclude with a warning sounded by Abraham Lincoln, who held our nation together during the greatest threat to its unity: “(Danger) cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.” It’s time the free men and women come together to help chart a better course for our nation. We are still a young nation. This shouldn’t be hard.

Lost hiker found safe

The Associated Press

Alix Tichelman, 26, of Folsom, Calif., stands during her arraignment in Santa Cruz Superior Court on Wednesday in Santa Cruz, Calif. Tichelman is facing manslaughter charges for the November 2013 death of Forrest Hayes, a Google executive.

Authorities: Prostitute gave exec fatal heroin hit SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A Silicon Valley success story turned sordid this week with the arrest of an upscale prostitute who allegedly left a Google executive dying on his yacht after shooting him up with a deadly hit of heroin. Forrest Hayes, 51, was found dead by the captain of his 50-foot yacht Escape last November. At the time, a simple obituary described him as a beloved husband and father of five who enjoyed spending time with his family and on his boat. On Wednesday, that got a lot more complicated as Alix Tichelman, 26, of Folsom, stood handcuffed and mumbling in red jail scrubs facing manslaughter charges for her role in Hayes’ death, as well as drug and prostitution charges. She is being held on $1.5 million bail. Surveillance footage from the yacht shows everything, police said, from when she came aboard until after Hayes collapsed. That’s when Tichelman picked up her clothes, the heroin and needles, casually stepping over Hayes as he lay dying. She swallowed the last of a glass of wine, lowered a blind and walked back on the dock to shore, police said. Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Hayes had hired Tichelman before, and that their Nov. 23 encounter “was a mutually consensual encounter including the introduction of the heroin.” Clark said it appears this might not have been the first time she left someone in

trouble without calling 911 or trying to help. Without elaborating, he said his agency is cooperating with police in a different state on a similar case. “There’s a pattern of behavior here where she doesn’t seek help when someone is in trouble,” he said. News vans gathered outside Hayes hilltop estate overlooking the glittering Monterey Bay on Tuesday. The five-bedroom home is on the market for $4.2 million. The yacht has been sailed out of the harbor to the Bay Area. Hayes’ widow has not spoken publicly and a blog created in his memory was deleted Tuesday. On the website, friends and coworkers were seemingly unaware of how he died. They fondly described their time together, Christmas parties on his boat, engineering teams at Sun Microsystems, traveling to China for Apple and most recently at Google, where they said he was involved in the Glass eyewear projects. “He had life wired, he really liked his job, was spending a lot more time with his family, cruising around in his boat. I am really grateful that Forrest’s last moments were happy ones,” wrote a friend in December. Clark said it’s not clear if Hayes was a frequent drug user, and that in the video, it he needed appears Tichelman to help him shoot up. Clark described Tichelman as a high-end prostitute, who lived three hours away and charged $1,000.

which he ran until retiring. After retiring, Ed found great pleasure in volunteering at the Charleston Visitor Center. In the more recent years, he enjoyed meeting people as he took photos and delivered wood. He is probably selling something to someone even now. Edgar is survived by his two sons and daughters-inlaw, Tracy and Julie, and Todd and Joyce; daughter and son-in-law, Allison and Steven; 10 grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, parents, four brothers and two sisters. He touched many lives UNERALS and will be deeply missed.

Coast Guard rescues 3 GARIBALDI (AP) — When a 14-foot boat capsized in front of the Coast Guard’s Tillamook Bay station at Garibaldi on the north Oregon coast, guardsmen swung into action, rescuing two children and one adult. Petty Officer 2nd Class Patrick Sandler was working on the pier Wednesday afternoon when he heard screams for help and saw a girl swimming toward him. He helped her onto the pier and called for reinforcements. The agency sent out a boat and crew to help the other two people, a man and a boy who were holding on to the breakwall approximately 200 yards from the station pier. The Coast Guard says all three were taken to a nearby hospital. They were reported in good condition.

PORTLAND (AP) — Searchers have found a woman who was lost on a hike near Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge about 30 miles east of Portland. KPTV reports she was located in the Nesmith Point area Thursday morning with the help of a plane with a heat-sensing camera that detected her small campfire. She’s reportedly cold but OK. The Multnomah County sheriff’s office says searchers covered more than 30 miles of trails looking for 33-yearold Jessica Wheeler of Wasco after she called for help Wednesday night. Deputies located her car at the Oneonta Gorge Trailhead.

PORTLAND (AP) — Police in Portland say they have arrested a 29-year-old man accused of running up to a police horse, uttering a “karate-like battle cry” and delivering what a spokesman calls “a jumping, double kick” to the horse’s right thigh. Police say the horse named Olin was unfazed and unhurt Wednesday. A police spokesman notes Olin outweighed his attacker by

Nation NATIONAL Obama aims to shift border crisis political debate D I G E S T Hackers break into US personnel networks WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese hackers broke into the computer networks of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management earlier this year with the intention of accessing the files of tens of thousands of federal employees who had applied for top-secret security clearances, according to The New York Times. Senior U.S. officials say the hackers gained access to some of the agency’s databases in March before the threat was detected and blocked, the Times reported in an article posted on its website Wednesday night. How far the hackers penetrated the agency’s systems was not yet clear, the newspaper said.

Huge US salamander is disappearing CORYDON, Ind. (AP) — With a long, slimy body and beady eyes, North America’s largest salamander wouldn’t top any cutest animal lists. The hellbender’s alien appearance and mysterious ways have earned the big amphibian a bad reputation and unflattering nicknames ranging from snot otter to devil dog. But hellbenders, which can grow two or more feet long, are facing troubles bigger than an image problem. The aquatic creatures found only in swift-flowing, rocky rivers and streams are disappearing from large parts of the 16 states they inhabit. The rare amphibians breathe almost entirely through their skin, making them a living barometer of water quality because of their sensitivity to silt and pollution, said Rod Williams, a Purdue University associate professor of herpetology who’s tracked Indiana’s hellbenders for nearly a decade.

7 dead in Mass. apartment fire LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — Seven people died in a fastmoving Massachusetts apartment fire in the predawn hours Thursday, officials said. All seven victims were found in units on the top floor of the three-story building that had businesses on the ground floor and apartments on the upper floors, fire officials said. “It’s a tragic day for the city of Lowell,” Mayor Rodney Elliott said. A police officer on routine patrol was the first to report the fire just before 4 a.m., while several tenants ran about 100 yards down the street to the nearest fire station to sound the alarm, Fire Chief Edward Pitta said. But the building was fully involved by the time firefighters arrived. The fire eventually went to three alarms.

Insurer readies for technology wave NEW YORK (AP) — WellPoint CEO Joseph Swedish says that when people ask what a doctor’s appointment will be like in the future, they assume that patients will physically have to visit an office. They’re wrong, the insurance executive told The Associated Press during an interview at its New York headquarters. “I would argue that will no longer be necessary in the not too distant future,” Swedish said after pulling out a smartphone to show how it can be used to help remotely diagnose problems like ear infections.

Cleanup begins in Eastern states SMITHFIELD, N.Y. (AP) — Residents of this rural central on town York New Wednesday picked through debris from homes battered by a deadly tornado, and utility crews worked to restore power in several Eastern states hit by severe storms. In all, five people died Tuesday as strong thunderstorms blew down buildings, trees and utility lines, and left hundreds of thousands into without power Wednesday.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Faced with a potentially awkward scene at the TexasMexico border, President Barack Obama sought to recast the political debate over a flood of young migrants as a question of Republican willingness to tackle the problem, not his decision to skip a chance to view the crisis first-hand. Obama turned to one of his chief critics, Texas’ Republican Gov. Rick Perry, to try to make his point. Following a meeting with Perry in Dallas Wednesday, the president suggested there was little daylight between Perry’s calls for additional assistance at the border and the nearly $4 billion request Obama sent to Congress this week. He also made a public appeal for Perry, a potential GOP presidential candidate in 2016, to wield his influence with Texas’ Republican-heavy congressional delegation and press them to back the emergency spending package. “The only question at this point is why wouldn’t the Texas delegation or any of the other Republicans who are concerned about this not want to put this on a fast track and get this on my desk so I can sign it and we can start getting to work?” Obama said. He argued that opposition to the urgent spending request would be

view “that’s what presidents do. That’s what leaders do. They show up and they interact.” The governor likened the current situation to the criticism President George W. Bush got for failing to visit New Orleans at the height of the damage and destruction from Hurricane Katrina in2005. Perry said he’s warned Obama over a year ago that the situation at the Texas border was deteriorating. The current problem at the border comes at a time when the White House was seeking to cement an upper hand on the issue of immigration, particularly with Hispanic The Associated Press voters, who are increasingly President Barack Obama speaks at a news conference after meeting with Gov.

Obama raises money for absent senator

4 children, parents killed in shooting SPRING, Texas (AP) — A gunman charged Thursday in the killing of four children and their parents was dressed as a delivery man when he arrived at the suburban Houston home where the family was shot to death, officials said. Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, is with multiple charged counts of capital murder in the killings Wednesday evening, Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hickman said early Thursday. He also is accused of critically wounding a 15year-old girl in the shooting rampage. “I have not personally in 40 years seen a tragedy in one family that is this horrific,” Hickman said. Documents introduced during a preliminary court hearing Thursday show the 15-year-old girl attempted to close the door to the home after telling Haskell her parents weren’t home, according to a report by KPRC-TV in Houston. But he kicked in the door. Haskell was estranged from a woman related to the couple, Hickman said.

Authorities said earlier that Haskell’s wife lives in another state. Hickman corrected preliminary accounts given by law enforcement personnel Wednesday night that Haskell was the father of the slain children. The children killed were two boys ages 4 and 14, plus two girls ages 7 and 9. The names of the children and their parents have not been released. The father was 39 and the mother was 33, according to Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Gilliland. Haskell “gathered up the children that were here and awaited the arrival of the parents,” Hickman told reporters outside the home Thursday. “Some time later the victims were shot in the residence.” Hickman said Haskell “came in the guise of a FedEx driver wearing a FedEx shirt.” Federal Express said in a statement that Haskell had “formerly provided service” for the company, but has not done so since January. Hickman said that after Haskell left the home the

Law enforcement officers surround a shooting suspect in his car Wednesday in Spring, Texas. A Harris County Sheriff’s Office statement says precinct deputy constables were called to the house about 6 p.m. Wednesday and found two adults and three children dead.Another child later died at a hospital. injured teenage girl — also a daughter of the murdered couple — contacted authorities telling them the shooter was en route to shoot other family members. Law enforcement personnel located Haskell’s car and a low-speed chase ensued, ending in a cul-de-sac, Hickman said. A standoff then lasted more than three hours before Haskell exited the car, sank to his knees and surrendered. Online jail records did not list an attorney for Haskell.

Gilliland said the teenager was in “very critical condition” at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston late Wednesday night.

Utah to appeal gay marriage ruling to high court SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah is going directly to the nation’s highest court to challenge an appellate ruling that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry, the state attorney general’s announced office Wednesday. If the U.S. Supreme court decides to take the case, it will be the first time the top court considers gay marriage since justices last year struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. “It is a milestone that when the Supreme Court reconvenes in October, there will be at least one (gay marriage) petition pending,” said Jon Davidson, director of Lambda Legal, which pursues litigation on LGBT issues nationwide. The high court is under no obligation to the take the case, and it could wait for rulings from one or more of

mental right to marry simply because they choose partners of the same sex. The 2-1 decision marked the first time a federal appeals court weighed in on the matter. The panel immediately put the ruling on hold pending an appeal. The Utah case is certain to pique the Supreme Court’s interest, but the justices usually look for cases that involve split rulings from federal appeals courts, said NeJaime, a The Associated Press Douglas University of CaliforniaPeople look on as they gather with about 50 same-sex marriage advocates while delivering a petition with thousands signatures to the Irvine law professor.

Commanders suggest a 2nd group in Benghazi attacks WASHINGTON (AP) — Well-trained attackers executed the deadly dawn assault on a CIA complex in Benghazi, Libya, suggesting different perpetrators from those who penetrated the U.S. diplomatic mission the previous night, according to newly revealed testimony from top military

commanders. The initial attack, on Sept. 11, 2012, killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and communications specialist Sean Smith and set the mission ablaze. Nearly eight hours later at the CIA complex nearby, two more Americans, contract security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, died in a

mortar attack that showed clear military training, retired Gen. Carter Ham told Congress in closeddoor testimony earlier this year. The House Armed Services Committee released the testimony Wednesday. The second assault probably was the work of a new team of militants who had

seized on reports of violence at the diplomatic mission the night before and hit the Americans while they were most vulnerable, according to testimony that could clarify the events. The testimony also reveals how little information the military had on which to base an urgent response.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a tough race for re-election, Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall chose the benefit of President Barack Obama’s fundraising prowess Wednesday over the pleasure of his company. He could have had both. But he opted to work in Washington while the president, whose poll ratings hover around 40 percent in headlined a Colorado, fundraiser on his behalf in Denver. Udall “is not an ideologue. Doesn’t agree with me on everything. But he believes in the core idea that should be what Democrats are all about: the idea that if you work hard, you should be able to make it,” Obama told his audience. The beneficiary of the event devoted his day to official duties in Washington that dovetailed with homestate politics and his campaign. “It wasn’t a political decision,” said campaign spokesman Chris Harris, an assertion that Republicans pointedly disputed as events produced a political backand-forth so vigorous that it would be more typical of a day late in the campaign rather than one in early July. Udall “has supported the Obama agenda an eye-popping 99 percent of the time,” said the National Republican Senatorial Committee. In a race against an opponent who opposes abortion rights, Udall participated at in a news conference unveiling legislation to counter a recent Supreme Court ruling that restricted access to contraceptives under the nation’s health care law. Representing a state where the population is 20 percent Hispanic, he voted to confirm Julian Castro as the new secretary of housing and urban development. His office also noted the agency has been instrumental in helping with recovery from last year’s flood damage in the state, and issued a statement saying the senator has “fought hard” for federal disaster aid. Spokesman Mike Saccone also said Udall “is continuing his work on the bipartisan Sportsmen’s Act, which includes his proposal to expand access to public shooting ranges.” It was unclear precisely what he was doing, though, since the bill appears headed for gridlock. It was unclear what Udall was doing at the moment Obama stepped before supporters at the fundraiser in a Denver hotel near the football stadium where he accepted his party’s presidential nomination in 2008.

World Indonesia deadlock: court may decide new president

WORLD D I G E S T Nuke professionals quit in droves TOKYO (AP) — Stigma, pay cuts, and risk of radiation exposure are among the reasons why 3,000 employees have left the utility at the center of Japan’s 2011 nuclear disaster. Now there’s an additional factor: better paying jobs in the feel good solar energy industry. Engineers and other employees at TEPCO, or Tokyo Electric Power Co., were once typical of Japan’s corporate culture that is famous for prizing loyalty to a single company and lifetime employment with it. But the March 2011 tsunami that swamped the coastal Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, sending three reactors into meltdown, changed that.

Militants on offensive against Kurds BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic militants using weapons they recently seized in neighboring Iraq intensified an offensive against Kurdish areas in northern Syria as they fight to expand the territory under their control, activists said. Members of the Islamic State group and Kurdish fighters have been fighting each other for a year, but the Kurds were usually the instigators until earlier this month when the balance of power appears to have tipped in favor of the Sunni extremists because of the large amounts of weapons they brought from Iraq into Syria. Islamic State fighters captured several Kurdish villages and killed dozens of fighters in the area this week, according to activists.

Palestinians look at aftermath of an Israeli missile strike in Gaza City on Thursday.

Israel escalates offensive JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel dramatically escalated its aerial assault targeting hundreds of Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip Thursday as Palestinians reported the strikes also hit a home and a beachside cafe, raising the total number of people killed in this week’s offensive to at least 85. Israel’s missile defense system also once again intercepted rockets fired by militants at the country’s heartland. Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said Israel struck more than 320 Hamas targets overnight, focusing on underground tunnel networks and rocket launching sites. In all, the military has struck 750 sites since the offensive began on Tuesday. Israel has mobilized 20,000 reservists for a possible ground operation into Gaza, but for the time remains focused on maximiz-

ing its air campaign, Lerner said. A ground invasion could lead to heavier civilian casualties on the Palestinian side and put Israeli ground forces in danger. Neither side is showing any sign of halting their heaviest fighting since an eight-day battle in late 2012. Israel says that Hamas must cease rocket fire from Gaza for Israel to consider a truce. Militants have fired hundreds of rockets, striking across the length of Israel and disrupting life across the country. No Israelis have been seriously harmed as the “Iron Dome” defense system has intercepted at least 70 of the projectiles destined for major cities. The system is designed to intercept rockets headed toward populated areas, while allowing others to fall in open areas.

US drone strike in Pakistan kills 6 DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — A suspected American drone fired two missiles at a compound in a troubled Pakistani tribal region on Thursday, killing six militants, two intelligence officials said. The strike happened in the town of in Datta Khel in North Waziristan, where Pakistan army last month launched a much-awaited operation against local and foreign militants who use the region to carry out attacks in Pakistan, the officials said.

Leader accuses Kurds of hosting militants BAGHDAD (AP) — The ethnic and sectarian tensions that threaten to tear Iraq apart flared Wednesday as the prime minister accused the Kurdish self-rule region of harboring the Sunni militants who have overrun much of the country, and 50 bodies were discovered dumped in a village south of Baghdad. It was not clear who the men were or why they were killed, but such grisly scenes were common during the darkest days of the Iraq war, and the deaths raised fears of another round of sectarian bloodletting. Many of the victims were bound, blindfolded and shot in the head.

ALGAE Residents still question cause Continued from Page A1 some cash. Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership member Mike Mader said the ag community cannot be included in the district. Tenmile Lakes Association member Debbie Newman said it comes down to money, but Mader said it’s because they already took action to lessen their impact. Lakeside property owners still question what’s really causing the algae outbreak. Some say it’s improperlyfunctioning septic systems; others say it’s sedimentation and weed growth. “To try to focus on septic systems for the prime reason why we’re forming a district is a mistake,” Lakeside property owner Ken Messerle said. “It’s also a mistake to pit neighbors against neighbors ... that’s not going to get you anywhere at all.” Lakeside Mayor Dean Warner blames the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for not establishing septic system inspection policies. Elevated nutrient levels, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, act as a fertilizer for algae blooms and lead to out-of-control weeds. Alan owner Property Whitney said high nitrogen levels are a result of increased lake activity during the summer, which is a peak algae bloom period at Tenmile. While the DEQ could examine septic system impacts, Warner said a special district would expand the scope to include studying weed and sedimentation problems. He asked for a show of hands: Is anybody opposed to the district?

Rains raised his hand. “As a businessman with an idea in my head, do I go out to collect funds from investors and say here’s a bunch of smoke and mirrors, but I don’t have an idea of what I’m going to do?” he said. “If we want to do something, we need to start a paper trail and write a business plan we can all agree with.” Bishop said there’s already a plan in place, referencing the Tenmile Lakes Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load report prepared by DEQ in 2007. “...during the summer when tributary loads are small, the relative contribution of septic inputs increases to about 50 percent,” according to the report. “Considering that the blooms of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) occur in late summer and early fall, it is likely that septic inputs constitute an important component of the nutrient load.” The group has one concrete deadline: Oct. 14. That’s when they need to turn in signatures to the county commissioners for the special district to appear on the May ballot. But Whitney warned the group that it would be impossible to get enough signatures by that date if they couldn’t immediately agree on it — and as of Wednesday, they couldn’t. “We’re not just chasing money,” Bishop said. “The reason we’re at the money stage is we’re trying to find solutions, and the county and everyone else says they don’t have money. We have a huge beautiful lake, but nobody pays in to help take care of it.” Reporter Chelsea Davis can be reached at 541-2691222, ext. 239, or by email at chelsea.davis@theworldlink.com.

PAYMENTS White House eliminated $22B Continued from Page A1 $97 billion in overpayments, according to agency estimates. Underpayments totaled $9 billion. That adds up to $106 billion in improper payments, or 3.5 percent of all the payments made by the federal government. The Obama administration has reduced the amount of improper payments since they peaked at $121 billion in 2010. The administration has stepped up efforts to measure improper payments, identify the cause and develop plans to reduce them, said Beth Cobert, deputy director of the White House budget office. Federal agencies recovered more than $22 billion in overpayments last year, she said. “We have taken an aggressive approach to attacking waste, fraud and abuse within federal agencies, and we

will continue to seek out new and innovative tools to help us in this fight,” Cobert told the subcommittee. However, a new report by the Government Accountability Office questions the accuracy of agency estimates, suggesting that the real tally could be higher. The GAO is the investigative arm of Congress. “The federal government is unable to determine the full extent to which improper payments occur and reasonably assure that appropriate actions are taken to reduce them,” Beryl H. Davis, director of financial management at the GAO, told the subcommittee. Davis said some agencies don’t develop estimates for programs that could be susimproper to ceptible payments. She also said estimates by the Defense Department “may not be reliable.” The Pentagon estimates that less than 1 percent of its payments are improper. However, the GAO found last year that the Pentagon’s

estimates for 2011 “were neither reliable nor statistically valid because of long-standing and pervasive financial management weaknesses.” “We have reason to believe that the numbers are sound but we certainly understand why the skepticism exists,” Mark E. Easton, the Defense Department’s deputy chief financial officer, told the subcommittee. The largest sources of improper payments are government health care programs, according to agency estimates. Medicare’s various health insurance programs for older Americans accounted for $50 billion in improper payments in the 2013 budget year, far exceeding any other program. Most of the payments were deemed improper because they were issued without proper documentation, said Shantanu Agrawal, a deputy administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. In some cases, the paperwork didn’t verify that services were medically necessary.

charged for that mileage — but the point is that options exist to suit everyone’s privacy tastes. Next year, ODOT will roll out a volunteer-based program for reporting driven miles. The rate will eventually be adjusted for vehicles that would be putting more wear on the roads, like heavy trucks or cars driving during rush-hour. There will be some bugs to work out as well, such as how to deal with the road wear done by outof-state drivers. Those problems are surmountable, however, and are likely better than the alternative of federal funds disappearing entirely. Jaffe argues that using Oregon’s model nationally would make drivers more aware of how their driving habits affect roads, and lead them to adjust their mileage in response to their expenses.

priority even as U.S. troops draw down. Army leaders, including Campbell and his boss, Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno, have circled their wagons around DCGS-A despite a series of independent government reports that have pointed to significant weaknesses. When Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, visited troops in eastern Afghanistan last year, “DSGS was shut down in the corner, piled with books and papers,” he said. Equally troubling to critics is how the Army has made it difficult for commanders to use an off-the-shelf commercial

product that soldiers say is more workable and userfriendly than DCGS-A, even though the commercial system has been embraced by the Marines, special operations forces, the CIA and other government agencies. “DCGS folks promised a solution three years ago, and they have yet to deliver,” said Col. Peter Newell, who retired last year after heading the Army’s Rapid Equipping Force. Army officials acknowledge problems with DCGS-A. In a statement, spokesman Matthew Bourke said the Army is working to improve the system in its next generation, which is being put out for bids next year.

DCGS-A was first developed a decade ago, but the spotlight on its shortcomings grew brighter in 2010, when Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, then the top military officer in intelligence Afghanistan, said in a memo that “intelligence analysts in theater currently do not have the tools required to fully analyze the tremendous amounts of information currently available.” Flynn made an urgent request for a “theater-wide, Web-based analytical platform” that sounded a lot like a product offered by a Silicon Valley startup called Palantir, which grew out of antifraud technology developed by PayPal and was valued in December at $9 billion.

immigrants that has overwhelmed the Border Patrol in South Texas. Johnson’s scheduled appearance Thursday before the Senate Appropriations Committee comes a day after Obama met with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a staunch

critic of the president’s handling of what Obama has called an “urgent humanitarian situation” at the border. During his fundraising trip to Texas, Obama also met with faith leaders and other Texas officials to dis-

LeBron’s decision: Round Two

Argentina reaches World Cup final BY MIKE CORDER The Associated Press SAO PAULO — The World Cup’s second semifinal was supposed to put the silky skills of Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben in the spotlight. Instead, a goalkeeper and two rocksolid defenses stole the show. Argentina goalie Sergio Romero saved two penalties Wednesday to send Argentina into the World Cup final with a 4-2 shootout win over the Netherlands after tough defending and a lack of creative spark from either team consigned

the match to a 0-0 stalemate. In a twist of fate, Romero credited Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal with helping launch his career when he arrived as an inexperienced youngster at AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch league. “I will be forever grateful to the coach for helping me out in a country that is so different from ours,” Romero said. A day after Germany lit up the World Cup with its clinical 7-1 destruction of host Brazil, the

Sounders outlast Timbers BY TIM BOOTH The Associated Press TUKWILA, Wash. — After giving up a tying goal in the final seconds of regulation to its most heated rival, Seattle’s Kenny Cooper noticed there was no sulking. Even if it meant another 30 minutes against Portland, with a league match against the Timbers looming this weekend. “No one ever put their head down so we kept battling,” Cooper said after scoring on a header in the 110th minute to help the Sounders advance to the U.S. Open Cup semifinals with a 3-1 win over the Timers on Wednesday night. Cooper’s goal came in the second half of extra time after Darlington Nagbe’s goal in the final moments of regulation forced an additional 30 minutes of play. Gonzalo Pineda sent a pass into the penalty area from 30 yards out and Cooper was able to flick it past Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. “It was obviously disappointing because we thought we could win it in regulation we had to work extra,” Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. “But I told the guys, ‘We have got to do it the hard way. We’ll do it the hard way.’ That’s just the way it turned out tonight.” Seattle held on over the final minutes, helped by the Timbers playing a man down after Diego Chara was given a red card in the 99th minute for his tackle of Seattle’s Marco Pappa. Portland coach Caleb Porter was angry about the red card after the loss. “That’s why they won the game is the red card. At 1-1 we were the better team, we were the ones creating chances,” Porter said. SEE TIMBERS | B2

Froome drops out in Stage 5 BY JAMEY KEATEN The Associated Press ARENBERG, France — An injured wrist was just too much for Tour de France champion Chris Froome, in one of the most memorable and crash-marred stages in recent race history. The Kenyan-born Briton ended his repeat bid Wednesday, dropping out of cycling’s big event and dropping a bombshell on his competitors after crashing twice in a rain-, mud-, sweat- and bloodsoaked fifth stage for the pack through nerve-wracking cobblestones along France’s border with Belgium. The 29-year-old Team Sky leader, already nursing pain in his left wrist a day earlier, first scuffed up his right hip, tearing his uniform, then scraped his face. Both falls happened even before he got to the start of 8 miles over jointjangling cobblestones. He was the best-known of several big-name riders who crashed on Wednesday. They found out months ago, when the course was announced, what they would face on the roads from Ypres, Belgium to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut. It’s the same big bumps known to racers SEE TOUR | B4

2010: LeBron James team disappoints in the playoffs, he hits free agency, America is captivated. 2014: Cleveland, Heat, repeat. Tuesday was the four-year anniversary of LeBron James’ infamous The Decision. I’m one of the few, real-life Decision apologists out there. I think raising $6 million and getting 9.9 million eyeballs on the Boys and Girls Club for 75 minutes is better than a media room with corporate sponsors in the background. But that’s just me. Four years later, LeBron’s free agency seems to be fooling all of us twice and another The Decisiontype event is looking unavoidable. The primary reason I still love what The Decision was — or at least defend it in print — is because the lead up merited the spectacle. Think about how you feel now about LeBron’s free agency. How the prospect of him going back to Cleveland SPORTS appeals to you. How his eventual decision interests you. Right now, just as in 2010, it’s something an NBA fan wants to witness. What we remember from 2010 is the afterGEORGE math, not the A RTSITAS lead up. The burning jerseys, learning Dan Gilbert’s preferred email font is comic sans, the “Big Three” wearing full uniforms in July to pop out of the floor, the “not five, not six, not seven.” It bemuses me that we can’t remember what it was like from a minute after midnight of July 1, 2010, (when free agency officially started) to the moment LeBron decided. It was the closest thing we had to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s search for five golden tickets. Basketball fans were entranced. The Washington Post Photoshopped a Wizards jersey on LeBron and ran it as an Opinion section centerpiece. One of the Indians’ minor league squads were LeLake LeCounty called LeCaptains for a night and wore the prefix “Le” for their name on their jerseys. Larry King asked LeBron whether or not he could be coming back during his goodbye tour from CNN. Outside of the zany stuff that entered the zeitgeist, real basketball moves were happening. Dwyane Wade hinted at a “summit” to have all all-stars gather and talk about where they should land. Rudy Gay and Joe Johnson signed maximum contracts first (both all-timer bad deals), then Amar’e Stoudemire goes to New York (ditto) and Carlos Boozer to Chicago rounded out the Hindsight All-Stars from 2010. The Cavaliers were pulling at straws in the meantime, firing head coach Mike Brown and reaching out to Tom Izzo to keep LeBron interested. But to me and to most, Cleveland always had the best pull. He would never leave his hometown. Never. Then reporter Jim Gray approached LeBron’s camp and ESPN to get an hour slot to announce his destination and help the Boys and Girls foundation. Two birds, one TV show. The morning of The Decision, Stephen A. Smith reported that LeBron’s going to Miami but the masses still wanted it from the horse’s mouth. So that night, LeBron sits in a director’s chair in his picnic tablecloth shirt across from weaselylooking Gray and tells him where his talents will be taken. Up until that moment, whether you agreed with his decision or not, The Decision was a good idea. Broadcasting LeBron’s announcement was irrefutably necessary. Whenever LeBron does say where he’ll go this time around, the press conference will be mustwatch television, just like four years ago. Even if he doesn’t want to call it “The Decision Part Deux: The King Chooses,” the press conference will effectively be the same thing, it’ll just save under a different name in your DVR. This time LeBron seems much

North Coos rallies to sweep doubleheader BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — North Coos used a pair of late game heroics to sweep Sheldon in a doubleheader at Clyde Allen Field on Wednesday as the two tussle atop the league standings. The Waterfront took the second game 6-5 with a walk-off single in the eighth inning from Marquece Williams and the first game 8-6 with four runs off two errors in the fifth inning. North Coos started the day 4-2 in league, a game back from the 6-2 Sheldon and tied with Roseburg Pepsi. “Big league games right there as we vie for one of those top two spots,” North Coos head coach Brad Horning said after winning 3-of-4 from the Irish on the summer. Only two teams from the league will make the state playoffs. “It’s pretty tough when it’s five teams.” The second game was the more exciting of the two and was back and forth from the start. Marshall Rice led off the game by getting a base hit and eventually scoring on a Jonathan Bennison fielder’s choice. Rice also notched an RBI in the second on a fielder’s choice of his own, but his biggest contribution came in the fourth. Rice pulled a two-run homer to left field to score Tyler Laskey and knot the game up at 4. After Jared Hampel scored on a pass ball later in the inning, the Waterfront had a 5-4 lead going into the fifth. “It’s just awesome,” Rice said of his first ever in-game homer. “It felt perfect. It didn’t sting my hands or anything and felt really good.” Sheldon forced extra innings with a run in the seventh but never got over the hump. In relief in the eighth, Robert Martino walked a pair of batters to load the bases but forced a groundout

With two outs in the bottom of the eighth, Hampel got on with a walk and immediately stole second with Williams batting. Williams was 2-for-8 on the day before he slapped a pitch up the middle to score Hampel and hand the Waterfront the sweep. “Right when it happened I knew we were going to win the game and that I was going to score Jared,” Williams said. “I wasn’t hitting good all game but I kept my head into it. I stuck with it and just made contact.” The first game, North Coos benefited from a couple of late errors. Rice led off the game getting on base again — this time with a walk — and manufactured another run. He stole second, moved to third on a Williams single and then scored on a Bennison fielder’s choice. In the second, Griffin Kaufmann

and Hunter Jackson scored on a Rice sacrifice fly and a Hampel error to lead 3-0 going to the third. North Coos gave up four runs in the third inning behind five hits to trail 4-3, but Sheldon’s mistakes crippled them in the fifth. After Bennison led off the inning with a single, Kaufmann and Martino each reached on errors and all three scored to go into the sixth with a 7-4 lead. Sheldon added two runs in the sixth to add to the suspense, but after Martino drove in Trey Cornish with a double, the Waterfront secured the 8-6 victory. “(We were) pretty resilient,” Horning said.“A day where it’s tough to play defense with the winds blowing, you’re going to give up some hits and balls are gonna drop.” The Waterfront will host Roseburg Pepsi on Friday at 2 p.m. in a doubleheader.

Will robots someday play in the World Cup? PHILADELPHIA (AP) — When robots first started playing soccer, it was a challenge for them just to see the ball. And to stay upright. But the machines participating in this month’s international RoboCup tournament are making passes and scoring points. Their ultimate goal? To beat the human World Cup champs within the next 35 years. “It’s hard to predict what will happen in 2050,but we are on the right path,” said event co-founder Manuela Veloso, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. A week after the World Cup title game in Rio de Janeiro, teams from 45 countries will face off at RoboCup about 1,200 miles away in the Brazilian coastal town of Joao

Pessoa. The “players,” which range from life-size humanoids to wheeled objects the size of soccer balls, compete in sizebased divisions on miniature indoor fields. The tournament runs from July 19-25. While certainly fun to watch, organizers say the annual competition isn’t just about creating kicking machines. It’s about teaching the fully autonomous robots to make quick, smart decisions while working together in a changing environment. Those algorithms can translate off the field into technology like self-driving cars or delivery drones, said University of Pennsylvania engineering professor Dan Lee. RoboCup includes separate contests for service robots and search-and-rescue

together,” he said of the robots. “Whoever got the ball would have a hard time figuring out which way to kick the ball.” Now, it’s like watching 10year-olds execute basic athletic skills and strategies, said Lee. The battery-powered creatures play much shorter matches — about 20 minutes, compared with 90 minutes in the World Cup — but generally follow the same rules. Humans referee the games, entering their calls into a computer that communicates with the robots. Penn, which has won the past three years in the kid-size humanoid league, is one of about eight U.S. universities traveling to Brazil. Students are bringing a 5-foot-tall metal humanoid named THOR (Tactical Hazardous Operations Robot) to play in

the adult-size division, as well as a squad of smaller plastic white robots known as Naos — an off-the-shelf model that looks like a cross between a “Star Wars”Stormtrooper and the Stay Puft marshmallow man from “Ghostbusters.” Just like humans, the robots have to “practice” as students monitor (but do not control) their actions in the lab. And there’s always something new to learn. Robot types and technologies are evolving as fast as smartphones, RoboCup co-chairman Alexandre da Silva Simoes said in an email. Organizers make the game tougher each year by changing parameters like field size or number of players. Next year, Veloso said, the robots might play outside.

Vatican casts doubt on papal World Cup party VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican says it is unlikely that Pope Francis and his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, would get together to watch their home teams in the World Cup final. Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Thursday that the hour of the final is late for Francis’ routine, and acknowledged with a chuckle that Benedict was-

n’t known as an avid sports fan. Still, he didn’t rule anything out, saying, ‘’we’ll see in the coming days.” Pope Francis has already given his word that there would be no papal intervention in Argentina’s fortunes, promising he wouldn’t pray for any team. German-born Benedict’s interests are known to lean more toward intellectual than athletic pursuits.

ARGENTINA

and not make it, like happened to their goalkeeper,” Romero said. “I had confidence, thank God things turned out well.” A Germany-Argentina final means an extra bitter end to the tournament for Brazilians, who will have to watch their fiercest rivals play for the world title in their most hallowed stadium against a team that humiliated their nation in the semifinals. “We have a final to play, but with one day less rest and against Germany,” Sabella said. “We’ll do everything possible to make it all the way to the top.” It was the second straight penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw for the Dutch. Against Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, Van Gaal brought on substitute goalkeeper Tim Krul in the last seconds of extra time to replace Jasper Cillessen and Krul saved two spot kicks. This time, Van Gaal had used up all three substitutions by the end of extra time and Cillessen had to face the shootout. The young Ajax goalkeeper collapsed onto his knees and sank onto his back when Rodriguez’s powerful strike ended the shootout. Krul walked across the pitch to console him. Van Gaal also said he had a hand in Romero’s heroics from their time together at AZ Alkmaar. “Penalties are always a matter of luck,” he said. “And I taught Romero how to stop penalties so that hurts.” Many of Argentina’s players stripped off their shirts in the rain at the Itaquerao Stadium and danced in front of their fans.

Dutch and Argentines could not manage a goal between them in 120 minutes before the shootout. Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, will have to do play far better in Sunday’s final at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium if he is to engineer a win over the powerful German team. The Barcelona star was muted throughout the match and extra time, rarely managing to shake off his markers. At the Itaquerao Stadium, he was overshadowed by his goalkeeper and the man he replaced as Argentina captain, Javier Mascherano, who bossed the midfield for his team the way surprise starter Nigel de Jong did for the Dutch. When Robben looked like deciding the match in stoppage time, Mascherano’s perfectly timed sliding tackle blocked his shot at the near post. “I would say that he is an outstanding player,” Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said. “He is an emblem within our national squad, on the field as well as off it.” Romero — thought to be a weak link for Argentina and not even a starter for his Monaco club most of last season — had almost nothing to do during the match, but blocked penalties by Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder in the shootout. For Argentina, Messi, Ezequiel Garay, Sergio Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez all converted their spot kicks. “It’s luck, that’s the truth. You can dive (the right way)

“(Seattle goalkeeper) Stefan Frei was tremendous. He saved then. That turned the game, that call. It was one of the worst officiating performances I’ve ever seen since I’ve been around the game.” Pappa added an insurance goal in the 116th minute beating Ricketts from the top of the penalty area with a rightfooted shot. Seattle, which won three straight U.S. Open Cup titles between 2009-11, advanced to host the Chicago Fire in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals on Aug. 13. It was the first of two games this week between the heated Cascadia rivals. The Sounders will host the Timbers in MLS play Sunday night. “It’s over, it’s history, it’s soccer,” Porter said. “We were on the wrong end of a bad call today, and it was definitely the difference in the game.”

Osvaldo Alonso scored on a leaping right-footed shot in the 69th minute to give Seattle a lead that held up until Nagbe’s goal in the third minute of second half stoppage time. Nagbe beat Lamar Neagle to a loose ball along the sideline, took a return pass from Steve Zakuani and beat Frei to the far post. The first 90 minutes lacked the fireworks of the wild 4-4 draw the Sounders and Timbers played to in Portland in April, the first of three MLS matches. But both sides fielded a nearly first-team squad. That included the return of Seattle’s DeAndre Yedlin following his standout performance for the United States at the World Cup. Yedlin played all of regulation on his 21st birthday, but was subbed off for extra time. Seattle is expected to have U.S. captain Clint Dempsey back in time for Sunday night’s match where more than 60,000 are expected at CenturyLink Field.

Sports League waits for LeBron’s decision LAS VEGAS (AP) — Pat Riley made his pitch. And now, LeBron James wants time to think. The Miami Heat president met with the four-time NBA MVP in Las Vegas, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. James, his agent Rich Paul, Riley and Heat executive Andy Elisburg were at the meeting, said one of the people. James has not made a decision and will not make any announcements before Thursday, a p e rso n s a i d , adding, “He wants to meet with his family.” As he weighs his options, James will not meet with any other teams, the person added. So now, Miami waits. So does Cleveland. So, too, does just about the entire NBA — because once James picks the Heat or the Cavaliers, the teams believed to be serious suitors for his services, the domino effect of other free agent moves will surely follow.

Cavaliers make room for James with trade CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers have made their moves. Now they’re just waiting for LeBron James to make his. The Cavs created enough salary-cap space to offer the superstar free agent a maximum contract after agreeing to trade guard Jarrett Jack, swingman Sergey Karasev and center Tyler Zeller in a three-team deal with Brooklyn and Boston, a person familiar with the deals told The Associated Press. The maneuvering is designed to open room under the salary cap so they can resign the Akron-born James,

Popovich agrees to extension with Spurs SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Gregg Popovich has agreed to a multi-year extension with the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs made the announcement on Tuesday. The team did not announce the terms of the deal in a two-sentence news release. With Tim Duncan, Boris Diaw and the rest of the key elements of a team that won the franchise’s fifth NBA title all set to return next season, it was no surprise that Popovich has signed on for a few more years. He is 1,116533 in his career, including the playoffs, and won his third coach of the year trophy this season after leading the Spurs to an NBA-best 62 wins in the regular season. He is one of three coaches to be named coach of the year three times.

Salary cap goes to alltime high $63.1 million

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has set the 2014-15 salary cap at $63.1 million, an all-time high, paving the way for contracts to be signed. Deals can become official starting at 12:01 EDT on Thursday. Players and teams could agree to contracts starting July 1, but they couldn’t be signed during the moratorium period. The cap is a 7.5 percent increase from last season’s $58.7 million. The league also says Wednesday that the tax level Bucks sign 1st-round jumped 7.1 percent to $76.8 pick Jabari Parker million.

The jury delivered its verdict in a Los Angeles courtroom after weeks of testimony about the assault after the opening day game in 2011 between the rival teams. Stow, 45, was left with disabling brain damage and became a symbol of violence at sporting events. He was in the courtroom for part of the trial, his wheelchair positioned front and center so jurors could see the ghastly scars on his head where his skull was temporarily removed during efforts to save his life. Experts testified that the former Northern California paramedic Stow will never work again and has suffered repeated strokes and seizures.

Former major league SS Tom Veryzer dies DETROIT (AP) — Tom Veryzer, who played a dozen years in the major leagues and was Detroit’s shortstop before Alan Trammell took over in the late 1970s, has died. He was 61. The T igers confirmed Veryzer died this week, as did the Overton Funeral Home in Islip, N.Y. A viewing is scheduled for Thursday at the home. Veryzer played for the Tigers from 1973-77, then spent four years with Cleveland. He played one season with the New York Mets and two with the Chicago Cubs to finish his career. He played 996 games and batted .241 for his career.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling made a dramatic scene from the witness stand then an even more dramatic one from the audience. In his second day on the stand in a trial to determine whether he can be declared mentally incompetent, Sterling shouted at attorneys for both sides Wednesday. Later, he raged at the wife who’s seeking the right to sell his team. “Get away from me, you pig!” Sterling yelled from the front row of the courtroom seats when wife Shelly Sterling tried to approach him after her own testimony. A judge admonished him to make no more comments. In her testimony that is scheduled to continue Thursday, Shelly Sterling declared that despite being estranged in many ways she loves her husband of 58 years and still acts as his principal caretaker, especially in medical care. She said she was frightened

at the changes she saw in him while watching a CNN interview where he addressed the recorded racial remarks that began the league’s efforts to remove him. “I couldn’t believe it, and I started crying,” she said. “I felt so bad. I couldn’t believe that was him.” She said she suggested radiological tests or imaging to examine his brain, and was told eventually that he had early signs of Alzheimer’s. She became slightly tearful as she described her understanding of the disease, which becomes progressively worse. In his earlier testimony, Sterling denounced both his wife and the league, saying he will never sell the Los Angeles Clippers and vowing a lifetime of lawsuits against the league. “I will never, ever sell this team, and until I die I will be suing the NBA for this terrible violation under antitrust,” Sterling shouted from the witness box.

ARTSITAS

over a half hour for LeBron to announce, so people were sufficiently restless by the time it came out of his mouth. By the time “South Beach” leaked out of his face, a collective “Aw” groan rang out. I did it too, on reflex. But four years later you’d think it came from sympathy to Cleveland. It didn’t. The groan came from waiting a half hour to get news people already new earlier in the day. Backstabbing Cleveland wasn’t the factor, we all just wanted to be surprised. I remember it like it was yesterday, but after four years, I see how that memory could get a little foggy to some. Plenty of Decisions do.

From Page B1 more calculated, but he’s in essentially the same situation. How his two foray’s into free agency mirror each other is what makes the courtship this time around so fascinating. Cleveland STILL has the best pull as his hometown. Someone reputable WILL break his decision before he does, but we’ll all still need to hear it from him. If he doesn’t choose the Cavaliers, the city of Cleveland WILL hate him all over again. In 2010, I was lucky enough to be in a massive newsroom the moment LeBron made the announcement. People were glued to the television for the whole hour like they were watching the moon landing. It took

Sports NCAA’s Emmert calls for reforms

Scherzer makes early lead hold up BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings, outdueling Zack Greinke and helping the short-handed Detroit Tigers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Wednesday. Detroit was without sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez, but the AL Central-leading T igers scored two runs in the first inning and Scherzer (11-3) made the lead hold up. The All-Star right-hander allowed a run and four hits. He struck out seven and walked two. Joba Chamberlain struck out two in the eighth, and Joe Nathan fanned two in a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 23 chances. Greinke (11-5) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings. He struck out eight without a walk. Miguel Rojas of the Dodgers hit his first career homer. Cabrera was given a day off by manager Brad Ausmus, and Martinez is dealing with a lingering back issue. Twins 8, Mariners 1: Kendrys Morales knocked in three runs and Kyle Gibson pitched six shutout innings to lead Minnesota past Seattle. Chris Colabello hit a tworun double, Brian Dozier scored twice and the Twins put up eight runs in the first four innings to chase an ineffective Roenis Elias (7-8). The rookie lasted a careerlow 3 1-3 innings, yielding seven runs — six earned — and seven hits with three walks. Gibson (8-7) allowed multiple baserunners in three innings and only retired the side in order once. But he worked around seven hits and a walk, rebounding from a rough outing against the Yankees. The Mariners had 12 hits but stranded 12. They have one hit in their last 30 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Nationals 6, Orioles 2: Doug Fister allowed two runs over seven innings and Washington hit three solo homers in a victory over Baltimore. Wilson Ramos, Ian Desmond and Jayson Werth connected for the Nationals, who took control early and cruised to the finish in this matchup interleague between first-place clubs located 40 miles apart on I295. Each team has won once in the rain-shortened, homeand-home showdown that concludes Thursday night. Washington has won eight of 10 overall and Baltimore is 72 in its last nine games. Manny Machado went 3 for 4 with a homer for the Orioles. Giants 5, Athletics 2: Hunter Pence homered and drove in two runs, Matt Cain tossed six strong innings and San Francisco spoiled Jason Hammel’s debut for Oakland. Cain (2-7) allowed two runs and five hits for his first win since May 15 against

Miami. He struck out four and walked two to help the Giants snap Oakland’s sixgame winning streak. Hammel (0-1), acquired by the A’s along with fellow right-hander Jeff Samardzija from the Chicago Cubs last week for three top prospects, disjointed the thumb on his glove hand but stayed in the game. He left after giving up six hits and three runs — two earned — in five innings. Reds 4, Cubs 1: Alfredo Simon became the NL’s first 12-game winner and Billy Hamilton added to his sensational series with a tiebreaking triple, leading Cincinnati over the trade-depleted Chicago Cubs. The Reds won their fifth in a row — matching their season high — and moved a season-best seven games over .500. They’ll try for their first five-game sweep since 1976 on Thursday. Simon (12-3), left off the All-Star team, became the first Reds pitcher to win a dozen games before the break since Edinson Volquez also went 12-3 in the first half of 2008. The reliever-turnerstarter gave up four hits in 6 2-3 innings, including Anthony Rizzo’s third homer in four games. Hamilton tripled home a run and scored during a three-run fifth against Dallas Beeler (0-2), who has lost his first two starts in the majors. Cubs manager Rick Renteria was ejected during the inning for arguing a foul ball call with third base umpire Andy Fletcher. Hamilton is 7 for 15 with three triples, three walks, two steals and seven RBIs during the series. Mets 4, Braves 1: Dillon Gee pitched into the eighth inning after two months on the disabled list, Travis d’Arnaud hit a two-run homer and New York beat Atlanta for its first fourgame winning streak in a year. David Wright sparked the tiebreaking rally by hustling for a double, K irk Nieuwenhuis put the Mets ahead with a sacrifice fly and d’Arnaud capped the threerun seventh with a shot to left off Ervin Santana (7-6). That gave the Mets a home run in nine straight games at Citi Field, a team record for the stadium that opened in 2009. New York has won the first three of a four-game series after getting swept in Atlanta last week. The Braves have lost four straight following a ninegame winning streak. Yankees 5, Indians 4, 14 innings: Jacoby Ellsbury’s two-out homer in the 14th inning sent New York to a victory over Cleveland. Ellsbury hit his sixth home run of the season on an 0-2 pitch from Vinnie Pestano (0-1). Chase Whitley (4-2) pitched two scoreless innings. David Robertson earned his 22nd save, retiring All-Star Michael Brantley on a long fly to left with a runner on second to end it. Red Sox 5, White Sox 4:

Daniel Nava doubled home the tying run in the ninth inning and scored on Brock Holt’s single as Boston rallied from a four-run deficit to beat Chicago and snap a four-game losing streak. Chris Sale pitched 7 2-3 innings of four-hit ball and left with a 4-0 lead in his bid to earn the final spot on the AL All-Star team. The winner of the online voting will be announced Thursday. Sale, an All-Star the past two seasons, walked none and struck out six before his bullpen cost him a chance to improve to 9-1. Jose Abreu hit his 28th homer and Conor Gillaspie also connected for Chicago, which had won three straight. Angels 8, Blue Jays 7: Albert Pujols hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Kole Calhoun also connected to lead Los Angeles over Toronto. The Blue Jays took a 7-6 lead in the sixth on Dioner Navarro’s two-out RBI single against Fernando Salas. Pujols responded with a drive that hit the top of the center-field fence beyond the outstretched glove of Colby Rasmus and bounced over for his 20th homer of the season and 512th of his career, tying Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews for 21st place all-time. 4, Diamondbacks Marlins 3, 10 innings: Paul Goldschmidt doubled in the last two of Arizona’s three runs in the 10th inning, giving

the Diamondbacks a comeback victory against Miami. Aaron Hill opened the Arizona 10th with a pinchhit single off Steve Cishek (45). Ender Inciarte walked on four pitches, then David Peralta’s RBI single cut the lead to 3-2. Goldschmidt hit the next pitch to left-center for his major league-best 35th double and his fifth career walkoff hit. Rockies 6, Padres 3: Troy Tulowitzki hit two of Colorado’s five home runs in a win over San Diego. Drew Stubbs, Charlie Blackmon and Wilin Rosario also went deep for the Rockies, who won a home series for the first time since taking two of three from the Padres in May. Royals 5, Rays 4: Salvador Perez hit a goahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift Kansas City over Tampa Bay. Kirby Yates (0-1), the fifth Rays reliever, entered with runners at the corners and gave up Perez’s one-out shot into the left-field corner. Kevin Kiermaier went 4 for 4 with a grand slam for the Rays, who lost two of three in the series. Astros 8, Rangers 4: Robbie Grossman snapped an 0-for-28 slide with a careerhigh four hits and Houston climbed out of last place in the AL West, completing a three-game sweep with a victory over All-Star pitcher

Yu Darvish and Texas. Grossman and rookie George Springer homered for the Astros, who moved into fourth place by a percentage point over the slumping Rangers. The Rangers lost for the 10th time in 11 games and have dropped 18 of 21. Phillies 4, Brewers 1: Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley homered to support Roberto Hernandez’s solid start, and Philadelphia beat Milwaukee for its third straight win over the NL Central leaders. Hernandez (4-8) needed just 84 pitches to get through eight innings against the aggressive Brewers, who have lost four in a row and eight of nine. Hernandez allowed three hits, and Jonathan Papelbon worked a perfect ninth for his 22nd save. Cardinals 5, Pirates 2: Lance Lynn (10-6) reached double figures in wins before the All-Star break for the third consecutive year and Kolten Wong homered for the second game in a row, helping St. Louis beat Pittsburgh for the third straight time. Matt Adams had three hits and two RBIs for the Cardinals, who will go for a four-game sweep Thursday — although they might have to do it without All-Star catcher Yadier Molina. He was removed in the third inning with a sprained right thumb and will be re-evaluated Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — NCAA President Mark Emmert told a Senate committee Wednesday he supports “scholarships for life” and other reforms in how athletes are treated, then did such a good job of casting himself as a powerless figurehead that one senator told him: “I can’t tell whether you’re in charge or whether you’re a minion.” Emmert faced a skeptical Senate Commerce Committee and said he feels college sports “works extremely well for the vast majority” and that the overall current model of amateurism should be preserved. But he listed several changes he’d like to see enacted. In addition to the end of the standard year-to-year scholarships, he said scholarships should also cover the full cost of attending college, not just basics such as room and board. He also called for better health, safety and insurance protocols and said universities must confront what he called the “national crisis” of sexual assault. Emmert said such changes could come about if Division I schools decide to remake their decision-making structure in the coming weeks, giving more authority to the five biggest conferences. He reiterated that the schools themselves are in charge of the rules and emphasized the challenge of creating a consensus among college presidents, coaches and athletic directors. That led to sharp words from Sen. Claire McCaskill, who leveled the “minion” statement and added: “If you’re merely a monetary pass-through, why should you even exist?” The Missouri Democrat was particularly concerned with research that showed a significant percentage of universities allow athletic departments to handle sexual assault investigations of athletes. Emmert said he was “equally surprised and dismayed by” McCaskill’s numbers and that he would work to put an end to the apparent conflict of interest. The hearing came as the NCAA faces pressure from multiple fronts to reform how athletes are treated and compensated. The organization is awaiting a judge’s ruling following a three-week trial in Oakland, California, in which former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon and others are seeking a share of revenues from the use of their names, images and likenesses in broadcasts and videogames. Also, former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter is leading a push to form the first union for college athletes. Also testifying was former University of North Carolina football player Devon Ramsay, who spoke of the red tape he had to endure to clear his name after allegations of plagiarism. UNC has been dealing with a long-running academics and athletics scandal.

TOUR

Froome didn’t speak to reporters after his second spill on the day at around the halfway mark. Wincing and limping, he shook his head at a Team Sky staffer, walked over to a team car, and climbed in. The team said later that he was already on his way home. On Twitter, he wrote that he was “devastated” to withdraw: “Injured wrist and tough conditions made controlling my bike near to impossible.” Froome wished luck to new Sky leader Richie Porte of Australia and his other teammates for the rest of the race. Sensing the danger from the rain, race organizers scrapped two of the nine scheduled cobblestone patches, and reduced the stage by three kilometers (two miles). But that still wasn’t enough to stop many riders from tum-

bling. “It’s devastating for Chris and for the team,” Sky boss Dave Brailsford said. “We really believed in Chris and his ability to win this race. But it’s not to be this year.” The last time a defending champion abandoned the Tour was five-time winner Bernard Hinault of France in 1980, according to French cycling statistics provider Velobs.com. The withdrawal of the prerace favorite left the Tour wide open with 16 stages still left. Overall leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy wasted little time in speeding ahead, notably after he saw that his other big rival for the title this year — two-time champion Alberto Contador — had trouble on the second run on cobbles. Nibali, too, was one of sev-

eral high-profile riders who crashed, recovered and excelled on the 152.5-kilometer (95-mile) route. The Italian finished third and extended his lead. He and second-place Jakob Fuglsang of Denmark were 19 seconds behind stage winner Lars Boom of the Netherlands. “This is a special, special day for me,” said Boom, who rides for Belkin Pro Cycling. “I was really looking forward to the cobblestones.” Overall, Nibali leads Astana teammate Fuglsang by 2 seconds. Cannondale rider Peter Sagan of Slovakia was third, 44 seconds back. Contador, breathing hard under a mask of mud at the finish, lost about 2 1/2 minutes to Nibali: He’s 2:37 back, in 19th place. Sky’s Porte was eighth overall, 1:54 back, and Valverde was 10th, 2:11 behind.

Yankees put Tanaka on DL CLEVELAND (AP) — Masahiro Tanaka was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, perhaps the biggest blow yet to the New York Yankees’ battered rotation. The rookie sensation from Japan is sidelined with inflammation in his right elbow.

Sports Almirola: Congrats from team owner a special moment

McIlroy takes early lead at Scottish Open

BY HANK KURZ JR. The Associated Press

ABERDEEN, Scotland (AP) — Rory McIlroy rolled in six birdies in seven holes around the turn to shoot a 7under 64 and take a onestroke lead midway through a low-scoring first round of the Scottish Open on Thursday. Refreshed after a twoweek break, the No. 8-ranked McIlroy tamed windy conditions in northern Scotland to show his links game is in better shape than it has been for years, auguring well for next week’s British Open at Hoylake. “This time last year, I was trying to get the ball under control, not very confident with anything,” said McIlroy. “I feel I am as prepared as I have ever been to play this type of golf.” One of the highlights of his course-record round at Royal Aberdeen was driving the green on the 436-yard 13th hole while the group ahead was on the putting surface. That set up one of his eight birdies. “Everything was pretty much on,” McIlroy said, adding that “in the condi-

tions, this is as low as I have ever been.” Unheralded Swede Kristoffer Broberg, out in the first group at 6.30 a.m. local time, shot a bogey-free 65 to sit just behind McIlroy on a leaderboard that includes Luke Donald (4-under 67). Phil Mickelson missed a 3foot par putt at the last for his only bogey in a 68, a solid start to his title defense. A chip to 10 feet from a cart path at No. 13 was Mickelson’s shot of the day, while the American avoided a penalty on the 10th when his ball moved on his backswing for his second shot. A sharp gust of wind was to blame. Michael Hoey shot a 66 and was alone in third place midway through the opening round but it was his fellow Northern Irishman McIlroy who stole the show.

The Associated Press

U.S. golfer Phil Mickelson keeps an eye on his approach at the first hole on day one of the Scottish Open at Royal Aberdeen golf course, Aberdeen, Scotland, on Thursday. Women’s British Open. Defending champion Stacy Lewis played in the same group as Uehara and shot 71 in what might be the easiest conditions all week at Royal Birkdale. U.S. Women’s Open champion Michelle Wie struggled to keep the ball in play and shot 75. Uehara made bogey on the

opening hole, ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch and then was flawless on the back nine as the wind started to pick up. She made a 15foot birdie putt on the par-3 12th hole and finished with a birdie on the par-5 18th. Morgan Pressel relied on a great round of putting for a 70.

Spieth returns to site of breakthrough THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Jordan Spieth’s remarkable rise through the PGA rankings began with a spectacular bunker save at last year’s John Deere Classic. Now Spieth has returned to the Quad Cities to defend the title that helped launch his career. Then just 19, Spieth became the youngest PGA Tour winner in over 80 years when he holed out from a bunker on No. 18 and survived a playoff at TPC Deere Run in 2013. “My golf world has changed completely since last year at this time,” Spieth said. “I’m sure I’ll have a lot of adrenaline. Even just thinking about this week more than other weeks has brought a little faster heartbeat to me,

and I think that’s a really cool thing.” Spieth went on to win Rookie of the Year honors last season, and he’s currently sixth on the money list. The only thing missing from Spieth’s sparkling resume is another win. Though he finished second at the 2014 Masters, Spieth has yet to match his performance from last year’s John Deere Classic. But Spieth has strung together four consecutive top-20 finishes. “I’ve been anxious for another win because of how good this felt last year, and I had a lot of close calls and I feel like I’m knocking on the door again,” Spieth said. “I won’t get caught up in the hype. I won’t be thinking about any of that or anything that’s happened, what defending is like.” The field in the Quad Cities typically

doesn’t match that of other events because it’s usually held the week before the British Open. Still, Spieth should face plenty of competitions from the likes of Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker, who combined to win the last four tournament titles prior to Spieth’s breakthrough. Johnson, who grew up in nearby Cedar Rapids, won in 2012 and earned a spot in last year’s playoff. Johnson has struggled of late though, following up a tie for 40th at the U.S. Open by missing the cut at the Travelers Championship. Stricker, who is 47, has been playing a limited schedule for a few years. But the University of Illinois alum has always managed to fit this tournament into his schedule — much to the chagrin of the rest of the field.

RICHMOND, Va. — Aric Almirola waited two days to experience one of the highlights of his first victory in NASCAR’s premier series. It came during a dinner Tuesday night when he finally saw car owner Richard Petty, whose famed No. 43 racer Almirola put in Victory Lane on Sunday at Daytona International Raceway. It was the iconic car’s first victory in 15 years and a span of 544 races. “When he walked up to me, he gave me a hug and he told me he was proud of me,” Almirola said Wednesday, reflecting on his meeting with Petty. “To have Richard Petty come up and tell you he’s proud of you, and knowing that you got his No. 43 car back to Victory Lane, is really special. “I’ll take that with me for the rest of my life.” Petty, also known as “The King,” is a seven-time series champion who won a record 200 races. Almirola said Petty deserves a lot of credit for making his victory possible. “The reality is that from 1999 and even before 1999, through that time period and over the last 15 years, Richard Petty Motorsports has not been a race team that was really capable of winning races all the time,” Almirola said. “They were doing all they could to just get to the race track.” It was Petty, he said, who finally realized the team could no longer keep its operation in his hometown of Randleman, North Carolina, but had to move to the Charlotte area, where most teams have shops. “That was the start of them basically remaking the race team,” said Almirola, in his third year with RPM. He was contending for a victory at Kansas last season, running side by side with Jimmie Johnson, and dueling Carl

Edwards at Bristol this year, but a blown right front tire ruined both runs. The breakthrough victory came on the 20th anniversary of Petty’s 200th victory, and while some fans and other drivers grumbled that the race was called too soon after several rain delays, Almirola isn’t apologizing. “The only way that that would affect me would be if I rode around in 35th all day and everybody wrecked in front of me and I weasled my way through it and got handed the win,” he said. “We were capable of winning with or without that happening.” Fellow driver Greg Biffle agrees. “He wasn’t handed anything,” Biffle said. “He had a fast car.” Conventional wisdom this season suggests that Almirola can now count on a spot in the Chase for the championship because he won a race, but the driver isn’t taking that for granted just yet. Only eight races remain before the 16 driver field is set in the final regular season race at Richmond International Raceway, and 11 drivers have already won races. If six non-winners thus far win in the coming weeks, there will be more race winners than spots in the playoffs. It’s unlikely, but possible. “We’ve got to get through the next couples of weeks and make sure,” Almirola said.

FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 Take a moment to review your past and present before pursuing the future. You have too much on your plate, and you must channel your energy in the direction that makes the most sense. Modify your schedule and remain focused on your dreams. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Family matters will be confusing or could cause uncertainty. Put your best effort into your work to avoid making impulsive personal changes that are likely to be costly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Prepare to take on a new challenge. Find the sports and recreation facilities in your area and sign up for a new activity. Striving to be your best will lead to both personal and professional advancement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Take a back seat and observe what’s going on around you. Don’t be too quick to make changes prematurely. Keep an open mind and wait until you have a clear picture. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Do whatever it takes mentally and physically to improve your standing, but don’t try to buy support. Extravagance will end up costing you more than you can afford. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A choice between money and satisfaction will need to be made. Question your motives and just what it is you want out of life. It’s time to re-evaluate matters and make adjustments to suit your needs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You will be emotional today. Try not to let your feelings overflow into the workplace. Professionalism will count when it comes to future advancement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Keep a close eye on your wallet, assets and personal papers. Your bank account could be compromised if your financial information becomes vulnerable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Family members will be extremely hard to please today. Get out with colleagues or friends if it will help you avoid a domestic situation that you aren’t prepared to deal with. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —
