headed back out on another family outing, this time to picnic in the Middle Creek area. But, when the family returned to Dillard, Zachary stayed behind to camp. Investigators were told the family departed on good terms. But, then came the phone call that set everything else in motion. Frasier said Zachary called at about 8:30 or 9 p.m. to say his car had broken down and he needed assistance. It’s believed that it took his father, Ray Brimhall, at least an hour to get to the location where his son was waiting. Investigators believe that, sometime around 10 p.m., Zachary Brimhall shot his father multiple times as soon as he got out of his vehicle. SEE SHOOTING | A8
Average scores on college prep test
Thinking inside the box
Oregon students have comparable scores, but fewer students take exam ■

Oregon first lady Cylvia Hayes puts together a raised garden bed with help from Ryker Pruett, 4, and other Head Start children at Oregon Coast Community Action’s building in Coos Bay on Tuesday while she was in town for an economic development forum.
Oregon students may have eked out better ACT scores than the national average, but the majority still aren’t ready for college classes, a new report says. The ACT released its annual Condition of College and Career Readiness report Wednesday, which breaks down this year’s graduating high school seniors’ ACT scores in every state. Oregon’s average ACT score this year was 21.4, barely higher than the national average of 21. A perfect score is a 36. The SAT has always been the college readiness assessment of choice on the West Coast, which was reflected in that only 36 percent of Oregon’s class of 2014 took the ACT, compared to 57 percent nationally. The majority of Oregon ACT test-takers didn’t meet the benchmarks in the four core subjects (English, reading, math and science): ■ 67 percent met the English benchmark. ■ 49 percent met the reading

Foley’s death isn’t changing views in Congress BY BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For all its horror, the beheading of an American journalist in Syria appears unlikely to change lawmakers’ minds about military intervention against Islamic State extremists. It’s equally unclear whether the Obama administration will be asking them to back a new U.S. approach. President Barack Obama said the United States wouldn’t scale back its military posture in Iraq in response to James Foley’s killing.

But he offered no specifics Wednesday about what new steps he might take to protect additional captives and other Americans, and ward off what he described as the al-Qaida offshoot’s genocidal ambitions. The initial response from members of Congress was mixed, reflecting the divide of the American people. While all decried Foley’s death, hawks, particularly Republicans, continued to assail the Obama administration’s limited airstrikes in Iraq and its refusal to target Islamic State bases in neighboring Syria. The president’s
supporters voiced support for the current, cautious intervention in Iraq. No tea partiers or dovish Democrats who have cautioned against military action publicly changed position. “The president’s rhetoric was excellent, but he didn’t outline steps to stop the slaughter,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of Obama’s harshest foreign policy critics, said in a telephone interview. “The strategy should be to launch all-out air attacks in Iraq and Syria to defeat ISIL,” he said, using an alternative acronym for the Sunni militants.

CHARLESTON — Investigators have begun to narrow down the timeline of events that led Zachary Levi Brimhall to kill his father and a stranger, before turning the gun on himself. They were acts of violence that, at this point in the investigation, appeared to erupt out of thin air. Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier has been leading a massive effort, involving multiple agencies and investigators, to reconstruct two separate homicide scenes that unfolded more than 50 miles away from each other. While the shootings at Bastendorff Beach were the first to be reported, early Tuesday
morning, it turned out to be the second crime scene. Frasier said the first indication of another crime scene started to emerge when investigators contacted Brimhall’s family to inform them of his death. When his mother was told, he said, she immediately asked about her husband, as well. As they worked the scene at Bastendorff, investigating the death’s of Zachary Brimhall and David Hortman, who had been sleeping in a car that Brimhall had fired into, attention quickly turned to a remote area of Coos County, about 50 miles to the east. According to his mother, Frasier said, the family had spent Sunday, Aug. 17, in the Powers area before returning home to Dillard. Then, on Monday, Aug. 18, they

ROSEBURG (AP) — Former students at a community college in Oregon’s long-suffering timber region are defaulting on loans at such a high rate that the school could lose access to federal aid used by nearly half of those now in the classroom. The default rate among former students at Umpqua Community College has been well above a 30 percent threshold for two years running, the Roseburg NewsReview reports. If the rate stays above that threshold another year, students in the fall of 2015 face losing access to Federal Pell Grants and Direct Loans. At least 40 percent of the college’s students now get the aid. Oregon has 17 community colleges, and the default rate at Umpqua is the highest, followed by those at the Klamath and Lane schools, both in timber areas. Students at the Umpqua college have defaulted on at least $9 million in loans. The school’s website says more than 15,000 people take one or more classes a year, the equivalent of 3,000 full-time students. Losing access to federal aid would have a far-reaching impact, said Elizabeth Cox Brand, director of student success and assessment for the Oregon Community College Association. “You may lose a lot of your student body,” she said. She said she knows of no Oregon college that has been cut off from the programs. Sophomore James Stokes, 24, told the News-Review he relies on the two programs. If Umpqua students can’t get the federal financial aid, he said, “It would make it so I couldn’t go to school.” School President Joe Olson said jobless workers took out loans to go back to school during the Great Recession but now can’t repay them. “I don’t think it necessarily reflects on Umpqua,” he said. “It just reflects on the state of the economy.” Some saw the aid as a source of income, said Kristapher Yates, president of the student association. “They’re in the same situation now, only worse with a bunch of

Umpqua students default on loans

Philip Balboni, CEO of the Boston-based GlobalPost, told reporters Wednesday the company had spent millions on efforts to bring Foley home, including hiring an international security firm. Foley was doing freelance reporting for GlobalPost. When asked at a news conference about a ransom purportedly demanded by the kidnappers, Balboni said the price tag involved both financial and political demands, and that it was “substantial” and always remained the same.

Confederated Tribes of the Lower Rogue BY GAIL ELBER For The World
Four decades after other Oregon native tribes began winning federal restoration of their tribal status, the Confederated Tribes of the Lower Rogue are still pursuing restoration. The confederation represents members of the Shasta Costa, Chetco and Tututni tribes, whose historic home is Curry County. During the Rogue River Wars of 18551866, U.S. soldiers rounded up many Chetco and Tututni people from the Rogue and Chetco valleys, along with members of other coastal tribes. They took them to the Siletz reservation 200 miles north. Although a few returned to Curry County, many stayed and lived on the Siletz reservation, along with members of 27 other tribes who had been interned there. In 1954, the federal govern-
ment terminated its recognition of the Chetco, Tututni and Shasta Costa tribes, like many others. In 1977, the Siletz Tribe regained recognition, and many Chetco, Tututni and Shasta Costa descendants enrolled in the Siletz Tribe. That tribe estimates that it has 1,705 members of “Lower Rogue” tribal descent and 1,601 members of Chetco descent. Tribal leaders estimate that descendants of the Lower Rogue groups in this area, not yet enrolled with any tribe, number about 150. Obtaining recognition for the CTLR would enable those people to obtain tribal social services and would facilitate study of the tribes’ languages and cultures. Tribal members hold an annual “Gathering of the People” in September at Big Bend, about 10 miles north of Agness on the Rogue River.

Sometimes, there is no explanation Our view The shooting deaths of this week defy understanding, and we’re left with head shaking and grief.
What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.
Senseless. There is no other way to look at the carnage that occurred at Bastendorff Beach and Fairview this week. What authorities could tell us was this: early Tuesday morning a man named Zachary Brimhall drove along the beach road randomly shooting at parked vehicles. Reaching the south jetty parking lot, he unloaded on three more vehicles before shooting himself to death. In one of those targeted vehicles slept David Hortman, a 43-year-old vis-
iting businessman who had decided to extend his stay in order to enjoy our region’s coastal beauty. Police found him dead, too. Investigators would discover more on a lonely road east of Coquille. Ray Brimhall, the shooter’s father, lay dead of multiple gunshots wounds. The trained senses of investigators and the county district attorney give us a chilling step-by-step story of what happened. What they may never be able to tell us, however, is precisely what they and we all would really want to know — Why?
What possessed Brimhall to load his own vehicle with an arsenal and apparently troll for targets? Why did Ray Brimhall die at the hands of his own son? And why did an innocent traveler, a visitor to our home, meet his end so far from his home and family? We are frustrated because we know deep down that we will never have the definitive answers. Speculation only goes so far — perhaps there were psychological issues at play, depression, rage, insanity even. All plausible explanations, yet still, nothing makes this tragedy make
sense. And that’s what we always want, for things to make sense. No chance of that, unfortunately. As Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said: “When (Brimhall) killed himself, he tood the ‘why’ with him.” All we can do now is keep thoughts of Mr. Hortman’s survivors in our hearts. Their loss will never be assuaged. And we can feel for Mr. Brimhall’s family. They did nothing to deserve seeing grief like this come to pass. What happened Tuesday was simply senseless.
Highway to the danger zone Remember MacGyver? He was the fictional television secret agent of 1980s television who would get out of worldthreatening jams using only duct tape and a Swiss Army knife. Listening to Pope Francis in Korea the other day, I had some flashbacks to the prime-time show. Pope Francis, who has described the Church as a field hospital, doesn’t even need hardware-store items; he bandages wounds with invitations to the Gospel and the sacraments of the Church. As Christians and other religious minorities are being forced out of Iraq; as tear gas was used on protesters after the death of an unarmed young man in Missouri; as news reports continued to go into graphic detail about the suicide of the beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams; as North Koreans couldn’t attend any of his Masses in their divided country, Pope Francis pointed to hope. He said: “The hope held out by the Gospel is the antidote to the spirit of despair that seems to grow like a cancer in societies which are outwardly affluent, yet often experience inner sadness and emptiness. Upon how many of our young has KATHRYN this despair taken its toll! LOPEZ May they, the young who surround us in these days Columnist with their joy and confidence, never be robbed of their hope!” Again and again, the Pope repeats some variation of what he said in Korea: Do not let yourself be robbed of hope. For there is theft happening all around us, as the recent news shows: theft of dignity, of our freedoms and even of our lives. In civilization that has become so secularized — even hostile — to real religious faith, Pope Francis reminds Christians that living their faith in the public square — in every aspect of life — and sharing it is part of their Gospel mandate. Also, do not be robbed, he’s said, of “community” and “fraternal love,” and, perhaps most importantly, joy. “The human heart aspires to great things, to important values, to profound friendships, bonds that are strengthened rather than broken by the trials of life,” Pope Francis said earlier this summer. “Human beings aspire to be loved, and to be loved definitively. Do not let yourselves be robbed of the desire to construct great and solid things in your lives! Do not be satisfied with half-measures!” Standing in the bar car of an Amtrak train that was going backward in the Northeast the other night, (which might be a better metaphor for life than I could have come up with on my own), — I talked to a weary young man in his early 30s, who explained that he got married in the Church but hasn’t been to Mass since, talked about what “a stand-up guy” Pope Francis is, dubbing him “the boss.” Warm feelings abound about Francis, certainly. But what is the Pope saying? His point is that we were created for a life so much better than the one we’re currently living. Not pain-free, mind you, but one where suffering matters, where it is redemptive. If a few more of us lived Christian hope, the rest of the world might see the difference and want it for themselves, or at least want people of real religious faith around. Until then, Western culture will become increasingly intolerant of people who want to live their faith in the world. For the sake of Christians the world over who will live and die for their faith, we ought to work some MacGyver moves of our own, joining Pope Francis in trying to end the highway robbery that we’ve brought upon ourselves, and even acquiesced to. The highway to heaven is a whole lot better. Kathryn Lopez is the editor-at-large of National Review Online www.nationalreview.com.
Letters to the Editor What must we really fret about? With the planet in chaos, and as we anticipate the next Cascadia Subduction catastrophic event, The World newspaper recently used much of the front page to ask “should we change the flags” (along the downtown Coos Bay boardwalk)? Citizen input was requested.Apparently,this matter has created a dilemma for the incumbent mayor as she decides which flags to fly over the boardwalk. We have been told that one possibility is flying flags of countries that have a port. Of course, we should spend your money for a nearby plaque that explains the flying flags? This major matter, that will soon consume the time of local government, follows closely behind other important matters before the council — cigarette butts on the boardwalk and cigarette smoke creeping too close to the library. These are extremely low priorities for me. There are too many important matters before us. There are 267 world entities; almost 200 different countries.
Two hundred and forty-nine of the 267, and all of the 193, have a flag. Many of the 193 are involved in military conflict. Most of the countries have a port. Most entities with a port do not fly the U.S. flag. Many with a port curse us and burn the U.S. flag. Which 10 flags shall we fly over the boardwalk while not offending local citizens, visitors, friendly countries or countries/possessions that you have never heard of, like Akrotiri, Dhekelia, Jan Mayen and Wallis and Futuna? They have a port. The taxpaying American citizen voters of Coos Bay bought and maintain the boardwalk. Continue to fly the U.S. flag (as large as possible); perhaps Oregon and POW MIA — only. And don’t spend our money for an unnecessary plaque. If the incumbent mayor has a library hang up, perhaps she can work to change library hours to be open Sundays when patrons and staff agree that people set aside time for library use. The World newspaper also recently reported about another major matter (marijuana dispensaries) that was before the current Coos Bay government and the (too
often abused) six marijuana plants authorized for personal growth by medical marijuana card holders, referring to that as being the same as a home “vegetable garden.” Sure; but we probably won’t be killed by a person driving impaired after a hot shot of my wife’s parsley or carrots.

Who’s working for whom? I would like to bring some light on the current state of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office. The department is full of employees related to the sheriff and other local law officials. Sheriff Zanni has his spouse and children working under him at the office. Rock Rakosi, Myrtle Point chief, has his wife working at CCSO. The county is suppose to have a rule about family members not working together but it doesn’t seem to apply to the current sheriff or commissioners. County taxpayers need to know what a “close knit” situation the BOC is allowing. Curtis Wasson Coos Bay
Going to miss ‘Bud’ Baird Lovers of good music and good entertainment lost someone recently; Stanley “Bud” Baird. In 1950, I had the opportunity to play guitar with Cedar Grove Western Barn Dance on Thompson Road, where Bay Area Hospital is now. Our regular piano player was ill. Harry Granstrom and Bill Rempolis secured Bud Baird for one night. Wow! Bud was terrific whenever he entertained. Thank you, Bud Baird. Dick Anderson North Bend

Racing through nature The story of a young man’s speed-hiking the 2,663-mile Pacific Crest Trail has raised some environmentalist eyebrows, albeit only slightly. He was racing from California’s to with Mexico border Washington state’s with Canada. The cause was a good one — to raise money for the families of cancer patients. And it wasn’t like he was making noise and pollution. So where is the problem or, to downplay it a bit, the mild concern? John de Graaf, a quality-oflife activist who noted the Seattle Times story on his Facebook page, explained it to me with careful words: “The idea of hiking fast certainly doesn’t bother me. It’s the location that is worrisome.” And the timing seems right for such a conversation. Sept. 3 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Since its signing by President Lyndon Johnson, the law has set aside 110 million acres for the highest level of federal protection. Motorized equipment and
mechanical transport are b a n n e d , though visitors may fish, camp and hunt where permitted. Nowhere in the list of do- FROMA nots is speed HARROP hiking. Still. Competitive Columnist sports do seem odd in areas designated to allow humans the most direct experience with primeval nature. “We need to have some sacred places in society where people can retreat from all of that,” is how de Graaf puts it. Let’s face it. The speed hiker’s feat could have been performed on the side of a highway. De Graaf heads a Seattlebased group called Take Back Your Time. It studies the link between overconsumption and Americans’ lack of free time — and seeks to change our harried way of life. To de Graaf, speed-up, overwork, obsessive competition, inadequate vacation time and
letting markets dictate our values all belong in one package. They have led to weaker social connections, impaired health and growing unhappiness amid the material plenty. Wilderness, if one experiences it directly and on its own rhythm, serves as an antidote to stresses of the daily hustle. The wilderness is a mystical place — “almost a revelation,” de Graaf says. It’s the wildlife, the flowers, the quiet. “You miss those things when you’re going by 50 miles a day.” And with trail racing gaining attention, others will follow. Witness the brisk sales in specialized trail-running shoes and “fastpacking” gear to make the stops as brief as possible. One must admire the strength, endurance and dedication of these racers. Superb fitness is a requirement for covering a trail encompassing both Mojave Desert oven and the Forester Pass, 13,153 feet up. South of Yosemite National Park are stretches of 200 miles or more without a single road crossing. One can also appreciate that speed hikers are
environmentalists, in their own way. That said, I’ve walked trails where we had to step aside to let racers whiz by. No big deal, though there’s something highly impersonal about these encounters. Slower hominids tend to acknowledge each other’s existence and delight in the natural splendor. But again, nothing environmentally horrible going on here. So no one is calling for speed limits on hiking wilderness trails. Rather, it’s to reflect on why we passed a law a half-century ago to set them aside. And that again leads to the question: What goes missing when the objective of hiking a wilderness trail is not to mate with nature but to get through it in the shortest time possible? reminds country Wild humans of the “bigger-thanwe-are.” It puts petty worries about wrinkles and mortgage payments in perspective. And it helps us push the “pause” button on the busyness that devours so many of our allotted hours on earth. That’s the point.

Cousin’s tag-along kids push the limit of bride’s guest list DEAR ABBY: I am being married later this year, and I’m planning my guest list. My cousin “Emily” has five young children who I’m making an exception to DEAR invite. She lives across the country, so she’s starting to book her plane reservations. Emily j u s t announced JEANNE PHILLIPS that she’s b e i n g re m a r r i e d and her fiance has three children he shares joint custody of. Am I obligated to invite three children I have never met? This is causing a lot of grief between me and my fiance because Emily assumes that they are all welcome. Please advise. — D.C. IN NYC DEAR D.C.: Call Cousin Emily. Explain that your guest list is limited and that her five children — to whom you are related — are the exceptions. No other children have been invited to the wedding, and you would prefer to get to know her fiance’s children under less stressful circumstances. Emily’s wrong to assume she can include anyone whose name wasn’t on her wedding invitation. The children can stay with their mother or grandparents during the time their father will be away. DEAR ABBY: My husband prefers leftovers to sandwiches for his work lunch. He generally takes them in reusable plastic bowls that claim to be dishwasher and microwave safe. After a short time, these terribly become bowls stained. Not only are they unsightly, but sometimes they harbor odors. Even though they have been thoroughly washed, they seem unclean. We have noticed this happens more often with tomato-based food like spaghetti or barbecue. I have tried soaking the bowls overnight in dishwashing detergent and even using a small amount of bleach, but the stains remain. Is there a way to remove the stains and odors, or must I continue to buy new bowls and throw the stained ones out? — BOWLED OVER IN ALABAMA DEAR BOWLED OVER: According to “Haley’s Hints,” by Graham and Rosemary Haley (New American Library), if you soak the bowls and lids in cold water for five minutes or more before putting the leftovers into them, you can prevent the staining from happening. And the odors can be removed by placing crumpled newspaper inside them and putting the tops on before storing them. (This is also an effective way to deodorize shoes.) DEAR ABBY: My daughter just got remarried to a man who has a 10-year-old son. I don’t know the boy at all. What is the appropriate name he should call me? My daughter already has two boys from her first marriage and they, of course, call me Grandma. I don’t feel comfortable having her new stepson call me Grandma. Any suggestions? — NAMELESS IN NEW YORK DEAR NAMELESS: Is your heart really so closed that you would tell that boy he isn’t welcome in it? I urge you to be more accepting of this child, or you may get a name that isn’t fit for a family newspaper — and not only will the boy be using it, but also his father.

Supporters of anti-government cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri flash victory signs during a protest in front of the parliament building in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Thursday.Thousands of Khan's supporters are besieging parliament for a second day Thursday to pressure Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign over alleged election fraud.
Pakistan protest leader backs out of talks ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani opposition leader Imran Khan suspended talks with the government Thursday after it appointed a new police chief in the capital ahead of a possible crackdown on thousands of anti-government protesters who have besieged parliament. Khan, a famed cricketerturned-politician, and fiery cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri have led massive protests from the eastern city of Lahore to the gates of parliament in Islamabad to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, accusing him of rigging the vote that brought him to power last year. The protests have raised fears of unrest in the nuclear-armed U.S. ally with a history of political turmoil, and after a request from the country’s powerful military the government convened talks with Khan and Qadri’s early representatives Thursday. Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a senior leader of Khan’s party, told reporters that the opposition presented six
demands, including Sharif’s resignation. The other demands include electoral reforms, setting up a caretaker government, removing top election officials and accountability for anyone found to have rigged last year’s elections, which marked the first democratic transfer of power in Pakistan after a long history of coups and dictatorships. It is unlikely Sharif would give ground on those demands, which the government considers illegal. Later on Thursday, Khan told his supporters that the government had removed the Islamabad police chief for not using force against him, and warned that the new police chief, Khalid Khattak, would follow orders to disperse the protests, which have thus far been peaceful. “I have suspended the talks with the government,” Khan said. He warned that his supporters would storm the prime minister’s office if authorities launched any crackdown. It was not imme-
diately clear if Qadri was also pulling out of the talks. The government denied it had any plans to confront the protesters. “We want to carry forward the talks to solve this issue,” Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said. Another Cabinet minister, Ahsan Iqbal, said government negotiators held initial talks with Khan’s Tehrik-e-Insaf party — the legislature’s third largest — before dawn Thursday. “We again went to an agreed place today for more talks, but the team of Imran Khan did not turn up,” he said. He added that the government wanted to find a “win-win solution.” Tensions spiked Wednesday when Qadri asked his supporters to block the main gates of the parliament building and prevent lawmakers from going in or out. He also asked supporters to prevent Sharif from walking from parliament to his nearby office, but the prime minister later managed to use a back exit.
Holder understands mistrust of police ST.

US doctor who had Ebola has recovered ATLANTA (AP) — At least one of the two American aid workers who were infected with the deadly Ebola virus in Africa has recovered and was to be discharged Thursday from an Atlanta hospital, a spokeswoman for the aid group he was working for said.
Alison Geist, a spokeswoman for Samaritan’s Purse, told The Associated Press she did not know the exact time Dr. Kent Brantly would be released but confirmed it would happen Thursday. University Emory Hospital planned to hold a
news conference Thursday morning to discuss both patients’ discharge. Brantly will speak but won’t take questions, according to a news release. Emory spokeswoman Holly Korschun did not give further details on either patient, citing privacy concerns.
SEATTLE (AP) — The location of the three bodies was revealed by the melting snow, but getting to them was another matter. They were high on a glacier at one of the most treacherous spots on Mount Rainier, an area pummeled by falling ice and rocks. So rangers borrowed a tool from their colleagues at Denali National Park in Alaska — a mechanical claw that’s so highly specialized it hasn’t been used in years. A helicopter equipped with the device plucked the bodies of the three climbers off Mount Rainier on Tuesday, in the same area where a party of six vanished last May. A crew on a training flight spotted the bodies in an avalanche debris field Aug. 7, but the area, at the 9,500-foot level on the Carbon Glacier, was considered risky for a typical recovery operation. Warm weather has led to more ice and rock falls as well as the opening of new crevasses, making it one of the most hazardous spots on the 14,410-foot volcano, said Mount Rainier National Park spokeswoman Patti Wold. Rangers teamed up with Olympia-based NorthWest
Israeli airstrike kills 3 senior Hamas leaders GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed three senior Hamas military commanders Thursday, delivering a likely blow to the organization’s morale and highlighting the long reach of Israel’s intelligence services. The strike marked a further escalation in fighting after Egyptian efforts to end the war collapsed earlier this week, and signaled no end in sight for violence that has killed more than 2,000 Palestinians and 67 Israelis. The pre-dawn strike leveled a four-story house in a densely populated neighborhood of the southern town of Rafah, killing six people, including the three senior Hamas commanders. Israel said the trio had played a key role in expanding Hamas’ military capabilities in recent years, including digging attack tunnels leading to Israel, training fighters and smuggling weapons to Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians marched through Rafah in a funeral procession Thursday afternoon firing guns, waving flags of different militant groups and chanting religious slogans. Those killed were carried aloft through the crowd on stretchers, wrapped
BANGKOK (AP) — Three months after overthrowing Thailand’s last elected government, this Southeast Asian nation’s junta leader is stepping out of his army uniform for good — to take up the post of prime minister in a move critics say will only extend his time at the helm and consolidate the military’s grip on power.

The 60-year-old leader is due to retire from the army next month and the change appears aimed in part at keeping him at the helm as the military implements sweeping political reforms. The vote was the latest in a series of moves by the junta to consolidate power on its own terms. In July, the military adopted a temporary 48-article constitution, which allows Prayuth to hold the premiership while still in the military.

News Rescue mission failed to find Americans WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sent special operations troops to Syria this summer on a secret mission to rescue American hostages, including journalist James Foley, held by Islamic State extremists, but they did not find them, officials say. The rescue mission was authorized after intelligence agencies believed they had identified the location inside Syria where the hostages were being held, administration officials said Wednesday. But the several dozen special operations forces dropped by aircraft into Syria did not find them at that location and engaged in a firefight with Islamic State militants before departing, killing several militants. No Americans died but one sustained a minor injury when an aircraft was hit.
OREGON CATTLEMAN’S ASSOCIATION:
VEGETATION MONITORING METHODS TRAINING WORKSHOP
Are you a rancher who grazes livestock on lands that are also managed for the protection of wildlife habitat, riparian vegetation, or clean water? Then this workshop is for you! Due to Oregon’s intermingled patterns of public and private lands, the coordination of information is essential for sustainable grazing and protection of habitat and healthy pasture. The OCA has been awarded a grant for the Oregon Resources Monitoring Program; the primary goal of which is to develop a co-operative monitoring program between federal and state regulatory agencies and producers. The program is intended to provide a scientific sampling and analysis database that is affordable and useable for ranchers on their private property as well as permitted grazing use on federal land.
Why Should You Monitor?
To identify necessary modifications of your grazing strategy to optimize your pasture health and maximize production.
•
To establish a credible baseline (collect data at least 2 years in a row) for environmental risk management, i.e. Ag water quality and endangered species.
•
To participate in telling producers’ good stewardship story through this pro-active program!

Obama weighs move on immigration WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is considering key changes in the nation’s immigration system requested by tech, industry and powerful interest groups, in a move that could blunt Republicans’ election-year criticism of the president’s go-it-alone approach to immigration. Administration officials and advocates said the steps would go beyond the expected relief from deportations for some immigrants in the U.S. illegally that Obama signaled he’d adopt after efforts in immigration Congress collapsed. Following a bevy of recent White House meetings, top officials have compiled specific recommendations from business groups and other advocates whose support could undercut GOP claims that Obama is exceeding his authority to help people who have already violated immigration laws.

NEWS D I G E S T ing for ways to woo back some of its top fliers who defected to other carriers following a rocky merger with Continental Airlines. So, it’s upgrading first class food options and replacing snacks with full meals on some of its shortest flights. The changes, announced Thursday, mean that instead of potato chips, chocolate chip cookies and bananas, passengers on flights of at least 800 miles will get meals such as chicken and mozzarella on a tomato focaccia roll and turkey and Swiss cheese on a cranberry baguette. Currently, meals are only served on flights of 900 miles or more — trips that usually last close to two hours.
Documents describe inmate-worker trysts HILLSBORO (AP) — Court records say a Washington County jail worker supervising a housing unit repeatedly let an inmate out of his cell to have sex with him in a supply closet. The Oregonian reports that a probable cause affidavit made public Wednesday shows investigahave video of tors 38-year-old Jill Curry and the inmate entering the closet. The affidavit says Curry had sex with the inmate on six occasions from May to July.
Police using $1,500 felony bait bike ASHLAND (AP) — The Ashland Police Department bought a bicycle worth $1,500 to use as a “bait bike” to catch thieves. The department has used lower-value bait bikes, but Deputy Chief Tighe O’Meara says using a bike worth more than $1,000 makes its theft a felony with a possible 5-year sentence.

US home sales rise for 4th straight month WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of existing U.S. homes rose for the fourth straight month in July to their highest level in nearly a year, the latest sign that the housing recovery is picking up after stumbling at the start of the year. The National Association of Realtors says home sales rose 2.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.15 million, the highest since last September. More homeowners are selling their homes, mortgage rates remain low and home price gains have slowed this year. That’s made home purchases more affordable.
Record drought saps honey production LOS BANOS, Calif. (AP) — California’s record drought hasn’t been sweet to honeybees, and it’s creating a sticky situation for beekeepers and honey buyers. The state is traditionally one of the country’s largest honey producers, with abundant crops and wildflowers that provide the nectar that bees turn into honey. But the lack of rain has ravaged native plants and forced farmers to scale back crop production, leaving fewer places for honeybees to forage. The historic drought, now in its third year, is reducing supplies of California honey, raising prices for consumers and making it harder for beekeepers to earn a living.

Bank of America agrees to settlement WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has reached a $16.65 billion settlement with Bank of America over its role in the sale of mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the financial crisis, the Justice Department announced Thursday. The deal calls for the bank, the second-largest in the U.S., to pay a $5 billion cash penalty, another $4.6
billion in remediation payments and provide about $7 billion in relief to struggling homeowners. The settlement is by far the largest deal the Justice Department has reached with a bank over the 2008 mortgage meltdown. In the last year, JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to a $13 billion settlement while Citigroup reached a separate $7 billion deal.
Open Houses
At a news conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said the bank and its Countrywide and Merrill Lynch subsidiaries had “engaged in pervasive schemes to defraud financial institutions and other investors” by misrepresenting the soundness of mortgage-backed securities. The penalties, Holder said, go “far beyond the cost of doing business.”

ACT MHS offering 50 dual classes Continued from Page A1 benchmark ■ 47 percent met the math benchmark. ■ 40 percent met the science benchmark. ■ 30 percent met all four benchmarks. Translation: 60 percent of Oregon’s college freshmen won’t pass biology this fall, according to the report. State education officials have touted the Common Core State Standards as more rigorous benchmarks that will better prepare highschoolers for college and careers after graduation. The report hints at the new standards, saying students would be more college- and career-ready if educators taught “to a higher set of standards, getting more students taking a core curriculum, and improving the rigor within those core courses.” A more college-oriented

high school curriculum and teaching younger students to a more rigorous curriculum lend themselves to better scores on the ACT and in turn, more success in postsecondary education, the report says. Marshfield High is one of the local schools trying to up the ante: It’s offering nearly 50 dual enrollment classes this fall. Oregon students who said they’re interested in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) did better on the ACT: ■ 75 percent met the English benchmark. ■ 58 percent met the reading benchmark. ■ 61 percent met the math benchmark. ■ 53 percent met the science benchmark. ■ 41 percent met all four benchmarks. Most Oregon students who took the ACT either didn’t indicate a college major or said they hadn’t decided on one when they took the test. Of those who selected a college major, medicine was highest on the list, followed by nursing,

business administration and management, and mechanical engineering. Those who chose a major fared better in every subject on the test than those who didn’t indicate a major (but they didn’t necessarily outperform those who were undecided). Of the Oregon seniors who took the ACT this year, 78 percent are planning on postsecondary education. Last year, 84 percent of Oregon seniors who took the ACT said the same thing, but only 65 percent followed through. The report says if educators could close that “aspirational gap,” nearly 2,500 high school graduates would have continued their education last year. The report offers some advice to ensure student success: ■ Focus on reading and science, areas where 10 percent of Oregon students only fell one to two points below the test’s benchmark. ■ Get more students to take a college-focused curriculum. ■ Invest in early childhood education programs. Nancy Golden, Oregon’s chief education officer, applauded the Coquille School District this spring for its prekindergarten program, which launched last fall, and suggested other school districts follow suit. ■ Implement monitoring and early warning systems to identify and help at-risk students. Area schools have squeezed “intervention” periods into their schedules, times where students struggling in a particular subject can get focused help.
LOANS Programs out there to help Continued from Page A1 student debt,” Yates said. The school plans an appeal to the U.S. Department of Education, arguing the default percentage should be lowered because lenders did a poor job of notifying some students they were in danger of default. It has also hired a loan counselor, Kasey Hovik, who said he makes hundreds of calls a week to talk to debtors. He said he has helped about 90 get out of default by setting up new payment plans and at least 10 more suspend payments until their financial position improves. “I’m not a collector,” Hovik said. “We’re here for them. There are options available to them. This doesn’t have to be something they have to stress over.”

CONGRESS Holder: We have long memories Continued from Page A1 He declined to elaborate. Balboni did say that he understood there were “good reasons” why the U.S. government does not acquiesce kidnappers’ ransom to demands, but said the policy should be revisited. He also said the family had received a “direct contact” from Foley passed through a recently released European hostage. But he declined to say what the message said. Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday that the Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the matter. “Those who would perpetrate such acts need to
SHOOTING Frasier: He took the why with him Continued from Page A1 Then, also for unknown reasons, Zachary Brimhall to Bastendorff headed Beach. It appears he didn’t fire shots during the drive, which likely took at least another hour. There have been no other accounts of any other indiscriminate shooting from his vehicle as he made the trip that ended with his last act of violence. His mother told investigators that her son was a good kid, who didn’t do drugs and didn’t get into trouble. He had apparently been dealing with some depression, but had never been clinically diagnosed, been seeing anyone for treatment of depression, nor been taking any medication for the symptoms. At least six or seven guns, ranging from rifles to handguns, were found in his vehicle. Speaking by phone
something,” understand Holder said. “We have long memories and our reach is very wide and we will not forget what happened. People will be held accountable one way or another.” Interrupting his family in Martha’s vacation Vineyard, Massachusetts, Obama denounced the Islamic State as a “cancer” threatening the entire Middle East. And military planners weighed the possibility of sending a small number of additional U.S. troops to Baghdad. Still, Obama was vague about what more his administration would do, saying the U.S. will stand with others to “act against” the extremists. “We will be vigilant and we will be relentless,” he said. “When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.”
That message was clearly inadequate for McCain, the Republican candidate Obama defeated for the presidency in 2008. The Arizona senator, who has clamored for years for U.S. action against government forces and extremists in Syria, said the Islamic State has “erased the boundaries between Syria and Iraq, and we must treat it the same way.” Otherwise, he said, the militants will enjoy a sanctuary in Syria where they can regroup and create more chaos. Some Democrats, too, pushed for expanding U.S. military action into Syria. “Otherwise, they will continue to threaten Americans and the interests of our country,” said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. Others, however, expressed caution and said the president was reacting appropriately.
Family says Hortman loved to travel By The Associated Press
David Jesse Hortman’s family is trying to make sense of his death at Bastendorff Beach this week. “He was just enjoying the view of the beach and the sunset,” his niece, Sarah Hudson, told the Grand Rapids Press. “We didn’t expect anything like this to happen.” Hortman, 43, had been in central Oregon representing an Indiana recreational vehicle accessories company at a trade show. Hortman had told a co-worker at the show that he was renting a car and taking a week off to drive the Oregon Coast, just looking at the ocean and sleeping in his car, said Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier. Hudson said her uncle was a technical writer, working in Indiana during the week and returning to Michigan on weekends to care for his mother. She said he was artistic, a “jokester” and a family-oriented man who loved to travel and appreciated the beauty of the shoreline, which may explain why he decided to sleep in his car. Wednesday, Frasier said it was not known if the seemingly large number of weapons was normal for him to have, or if they were known to the family. “We’re looking into that,” he said, adding that more information would likely be released later this week. As for the big question
that still remains, finding a reason why, Frasier says Brimhall apparently left no notes and did not tell anyone that this may be coming. “Why he turned on his family, or why he did this at all, we don’t know at this point,” Frasier said. “When he killed himself, he took the ‘why’ with him.”

Curry squads break in new coaches On Tuesday, football season came back. It isn’t the first college football polls or the Hall of Fame game that beckons me back to the gridiron. It’s soaking in the most beautiful 60-mile stretch of highway this state has to offer — from Port Orford down through Gold Beach to Brookings on Highway 101, on the way to the preseason practices. That’s my official kickoff to football season. Here at The World, we have an annual football preview section (out Sept. 4) and it’s something our sports department takes immense professional pride in. We (my boss John Gunther and I) consider travelSPORTS ing to each of the camps on the South Coast a necessity. A phone call could probably wrangle enough information for a halfhearted preview, but we want more than that. enjoy checkGEORGE We ing out the ARTSITAS camps for ourselves and getting a feel for what’s new in these programs. This year, what’s new is outside the lines, with new coaches dominating most of my early camp storylines. About an hour south of the Bay Area, Justin Storns has the pleasure of taking over for a legend at Gold Beach. Kevin Swift — whose iconic rasp in his voice makes Nick Nolte sound like Pee Wee Herman — retired last year after 17 seasons at the helm of the Panthers. Swift was stern, abrasive, old school, set in his ways and above all else, SUCCESSFUL. You can’t argue with Swift’s production. Two state championships and five trips to the title game. That’s Swift’s last decade summed up in a sentence. “There’s quite a bit of pressure, “ Storns told me Tuesday. “But the kids have been great at adapting to my coaching style.” After spending a practice with Storns, it’s clear he’s not trying to mirror Swift’s culture. He’s cognizant of the type of decorated career he’s following, but isn’t intimidated by it. Luckily for Storns, a valuable resource won’t be too far away. Swift is still Gold Beach’s athletic director. Down in Brookings, they’re hoping two is better than one. Athletic director Buell Gonzales Jr. will act as co-coach with Dan O’Brien this season as he tries to get his footing in his first year head coaching the Bruins. O’Brien was the coach at Azalea Middle School last year, but showed up to every high school game as an assistant and barely missed a practice. He apparently made enough of impression on Gonzales to land the job after former Bruins coach Erik Sullivan left late this summer. “The last thing you want to do is to make it a miserable experience for the kids,” Gonzales said of the transition. “It’s all about the kids, so I felt as little change as we needed to do was our goal. And Dan was more than willing to step up.“ When I spoke to Gonzales, it sounded like he sees legitimate promise in O’Brien. You also can’t discount that with four coaches in the past three years, he also may be looking for the type of coach who offers stability. O’Brien is from North Dakota, so he’s certainly not a local, but the Bruins seemed to have really good things to say. Approachable. Patient. Understanding. The benchmark adjectives you want in a coach taking over a winless team from the year prior. “I just want us to play hard and do the best we can,” O’Brien told me were his personal expectations. “It’s easy to cheer for a winner, everyone likes winning, so hopefully we do good this year and then continue it on.” Sounds like the optimism of a new coach.

Las Vegas player Brennan Holligan hits a two-run home run off Philadelphia pitcher Carter Davis in sixth inning of their game at the Little League World Series on Wednesday.
Vegas team spoils Cinderella story Philadelphia star Davis struggles in her team’s loss at LLWS ■
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Mo’ne Davis didn’t have her best stuff when she and her Philadelphia teammates needed it most, and Las Vegas took advantage. Dallan Cave and Brennan Holligan hit two-run homers, lefty reliever Austin Kryszczuk got out of two big jams, and Las Vegas beat Philadelphia and its star pitcher 81 in the Little League World Series on Wednesday night. Davis, just the 18th girl to play in the Little League World Series and the only one to win a game on the mound, took the loss. “Mo’ne didn’t have her A game today,” Philly manager Alex Rice said. “At this point, we’re playing to get to Saturday.” The victory puts Las Vegas in Saturday’s U.S. title game and
sends Philadelphia into an elimination game tonight against Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West in a matchup of inner-city teams. The Great Lakes champion beat Pearland, Texas 6-1 on Tuesday night in an elimination game. “I think it’s terrific,” Rice said. “I’ve been looking forward to playing Chicago since we got here.” Davis, the darling of the sports world with her amazing success and poise, was both masterful and ordinary on a night made short because of pitch-count rules. She allowed three runs and six hits and struck out six in 2 1-3 innings before leaving after 55 pitches. That makes her eligible to pitch again in the U.S. championship game on Saturday. Davis played first after her stint on the mound and was switched to right field in the top of the sixth, but she dazzled her opponents more than once on the mound with off-speed deliveries and tantalizing pitches just off the plate. “She’s very crafty,” said
Kryszczuk, who picked up the victory. “She’s a great pitcher. That triple in the first was huge and then she settled down. Great job by us to get this victory.” The grassy hill beyond the outfield fences at Howard J. Lamade Stadium was jammed with so many cheering fans in lawn chairs that it looked like the bleacher section at any ballpark as 34,128 fans craned to see every pitch. And they had an effect on Las Vegas, an afterthought at best to many before the game. “The crowd got to us at times. It was hard to communicate,” Las Vegas manager Ashton Cave said. “That’s a big weight to carry on a 13-year-old’s shoulders what goes on publicly. They definitely deserve the attention that they get, but we have the first Nevada team in history in 75 years to make it to this point. To come through and do what we’ve done, we’re just definitely making a mark.” The 5-foot-4 Davis, who has given the Taney Youth Baseball
Association Little League in Philadelphia notoriety no one could have imagined, tries to use the first two innings to get to know the home plate umpire’s strike zone, and the first time through the order gauges where the opposing players don’t like the ball. It worked like a charm in her first outing in the World Series as she pitched a two-hit shutout. She didn’t get that chance on this night against hard-hitting Las Vegas, which had outscored its first two opponents 25-4. Davis, her long braids flopping over her shoulders on every pitch, allowed hits to the first two batters as Philadelphia fell behind. Leadoff hitter Zach Hare lofted a soft single to center and Kryszczuk followed with a resounding triple to right center for a 1-0 lead. Unfazed, Davis struck out the side, getting Holligan looking and Brad Stone and Andrew Matulich swinging. SEE LLWS | B2
NFL experiments with longer extra points FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Reviews have been mixed around the league for the NFL’s experiment with longer kicks on extra points. Regardless, it appears there’s a future for them. Eight kicks from the longer distance — usually 33 yards — were missed during the first two weeks of the preseason. The 94.3 percent success rate (133 of 141) was below the regular-season rate (99.6 percent) from 2013 when the ball was snapped from the 2-yard line instead of the 15. Only five of 1,267 short kicks were missed in 2013. All of this summer’s misses came with the ball snapped from the 15. Snaps will move back to the 2 this week and for the regular season. NFL officiating director Dean Blandino says he believes longer PAT kicks are “in the league’s near future.” The results this preseason will be brought to the competition committee, and a proposal for change almost certainly will be presented to team owners at next March’s annual meetings. Blandino isn’t sure the 15yard line will be the focal point of any change. As with any alterations to the game, coaches and players offered a variety of viewpoints. San Francisco’s veteran placekicker Phil Dawson didn’t get a chance to try a long extra point because the 49ers didn’t score any touchdowns in their first two exhibition games. He sees the positive and negative sides of a longer kick. “It could rear its head in a game where the kicker hasn’t been on the field in a while,” Dawson said. “It’s hard to stay loose and then all of a sudden there’s a sudden score, maybe a fumble recovery, kickoff return, interception return. You might not be super loose yet. It’s

You back up (another) 13-15 yards and you’re a little stiff, you could possibly run into some problems there.” On the other foot ... “Any rule change that’s designed to highlight what guys do well, I’m all for it,” Dawson added. “If that rule change is motivated by, ‘Man, our kickers are really good and we want
to showcase what they do well,’ I’m all for it.” Jets kicker Nick Folk, who has never missed an extra point in his seven-year career, believes longer tries make the more accurate kickers even more valuable. But “I think most kickers want to keep it the same as it’s been.” So does Tom Coughlin. SEE KICKS | B3
OSU basketball player collapses at practice BY JESSE SOWA Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — Oregon State freshman men’s basketball player Chai Baker remained in critical but stable condition late Wednesday afternoon after he collapsed Tuesday morning while working out with teammates at the practice facility on campus. Baker, a shooting guard who arrived in Corvallis last month, was taken to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center by ambulance just after 11 a.m. Tuesday for what was described
by OSU officials as a “cardiacrelated medical incident.” Steve Clark, OSU’s vice president of university relations and marketing, said one of the school’s certified athletic trainers in the vicinity after Baker’s collapse performed CPR. An automated external defibrillator also was used. Baker was then taken to Good Samaritan, where he remained Wednesday. It will be several days before it’s learned what caused Baker’s collapse, Clark said. Dr. Doug Aukerman, an Oregon
State associate athletic director and oversees all medical-related issues involving Beaver athletes, is hopeful, given Baker’s status late Wednesday, for a full recovery. “Everybody is holding strong, a lot of love and support. Coming together as a family does,” said OSU head coach Wayne Tinkle, who was at the hospital Wednesday. Assistants Kerry Rupp and Stephen Thompson were at the practice facility working with players at the time of Baker’s collapse. They quickly called 911, and paramedics were there within a
few minutes. Baker has family members who live in Corvallis and others who have flown in since early Tuesday. Baker was able to respond to some commands Wednesday, Tinkle said. Clark said all Oregon State athletes are required to have an EKG, a test that checks electrical activity in the heart. Students also fill out a heart-related questionnaire. In addition, OSU basketball players receive an echocardiogram, which shows a doctor how a heart is beating using sound waves.

Sports LLWS From Page B1 Philadelphia threatened in the bottom of the first, but Las Vegas right fielder Alex Barker made a dazzling diving catch at the warning track of a drive by Jack Rice to end the inning and strand two Philly runners. “It was amazing,” said Stone, who found out he was starting in warmups. After reaching back for something extra to get out of that first-inning jam, Davis sputtered again. Cave slammed a two-run shot to left-center, a liner that just cleared the fence for a 3-0 lead. Josiah Cromwick and Hare followed with singles,
but Davis settled down again and struck out Kryszczuk swinging and Holligan looking again. She left in the top of the third in favor of lefty Erik Lipson, but she wasn’t through competing. After falling behind 0-2 in the count in her second at-bat, Davis worked a walk with runners at second and third and Zion Spearman scored when the fourth ball bounded away from the catcher. When Tai Shanahan followed with a perfect bunt single in front of the plate, the Philadelphia fans began chanting “Let’s go Taney! Let’s go Taney!” But Kryszczuk came on in relief and Las Vegas escaped. He got Lipson looking at a third strike and Eli Simon
lined into a double play to end the threat. In the fifth, Kryszczuk struck out Spearman swinging with two runners on. Las Vegas tacked on five runs in the top of the sixth, keyed by an RBI double by Hare and Holligan’s homer. Las Vegas entered the game on a serious roll. The Mountain Ridge Little League champions beat Rapid City, South Dakota 122 and then routed Chicago 13-2 in four innings in a mercy-rule game on Sunday behind five homers, a grand slam by Stone and two from Kryszczuk. Davis began her eyeopening appearance in the showcase event by throwing a two-hit shutout in a 4-0 victory over Nashville.

U.S. Katie Ledecky dives off the starting block during her 200-meter freestyle heat at the Pan Pacific swimming championships in Gold Coast, Australia, on Thursday.
Ledecky gets off to great start at Pan Pacific meet GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — Katie Ledecky grinned and nodded her head, very slightly, in a show of approval as she surveyed the times on the scoreboard for the 800-meter freestyle. After starting her opening night program with a gold medal in the 200 free at the Pan Pacific championships — her first at that distance in a major international meet — the 17-year-old American finished it off by narrowly missing her own world record in the 800. It was widely expected that an American woman would win two titles on Thursday. But it was Missy Franklin, a six-time winner at last year’s world championships, who had seemed most likely to do that until she hurt her back in practice. Instead it was Ledecky, the reigning world recordholder in the 400, 800 and 1,500 freestyle, who seized her opportunity, saying she really only wanted to see how she would do competing in the 200-800 combination. “I’m really looking forward to the rest of the meet,” Ledecky said. “This day gives me a lot of confidence. The 200 gave me a lot of confidence for the 800, so just sort of building off each of my swims.” She was a body-length ahead of world-record pace at one stage but faded slightly to finish in 8 minutes, 11.35 seconds — just outside the world mark of 8:11 she set in June. Lauren Boyle of New Zealand was second in 8:18.87 and Brittany MacLean of Canada was third. The pain started to set in at the 500-meter mark, Ledecky said, explaining that her shoulders and arms “got kind of tired.” “Once I got to the 600 mark, I told myself ‘I just swam the 200 a little bit ago, I can swim a 200. I can get through this,”’ Ledecky said. “I wasn’t really focusing on hitting a certain time, I just wanted to get through the double.”
With no Franklin in the earlier 200 final, Ledecky won in a meet record 1:55.74, ahead of Bronte Barratt of Australia and American teammate Shannon Vreeland. Franklin, hampered by back spasms that stopped her in practice on Tuesday and
“I’m really looking forward to the rest of the meet. This day gives me a lot of confidence.” Katie Ledecky Double-winner
kept her in doubt for the meet until the first morning of competition, didn’t qualify for the A final of the 200 free. However, she did post the second-fastest time of the night by winning the B final in 1:56.04, and that was enough to earn her a spot at next year’s world championships. “I’m really proud of myself. It has nothing to do with my times, my places,” Franklin said. “Just getting out and kind of fighting back against life right now. “I got out there and raced, and a couple of days ago I didn’t think I was going to be able to do that.” She’s planning on swimming the 100 freestyle on Friday, and the 200 backstroke later in the meet. In the 100 backstroke, an event she won at the last Olympics and world championships, Franklin took bronze behind Australian teammates Emily Seebohm and Belinda Hocking. Franklin was tenta-
tive with her start, but Seebohm powered off the wall and was under worldrecord pace in the first lap before finishing in a meet record 58.84 seconds. Seebohm, the Olympic silver medalist, was happy to get her first victory over Franklin regardless of the conditions. “A win is a win,” Seebohm said. “She is obviously a strong competitor and, sometimes, you just have to go out and race your competition. It gives me a lot of confidence going forward.” The Americans also collected gold in the women’s 200 butterfly, with Cammile Adams winning in 2:06.61, and Connor Jaeger surged home in the last lap to win the 1,500 in 14:51.79, touching a fraction in front of Ryan Cochrane of Canada and Mack Horton of Australia. The other men’s titles were shared. Japanese men won two finals, with Ryosyuke Irie beating American teammates Matt Grevers and Ryan Murphy in the 100 backstroke and Daiya Seto winning the 200 butterfly ahead of Leonardo De Dues of Brazil and Tyler Clary of the United States. Thomas Fraser-Holmes of Australia won the 200 freestyle in 1:45.98, edging Kosuke Hagino of Japan and another Australian, Cameron McEvoy. American teammates Cameron McEvoy and five-time Olympic champion Ryan Lochte were fourth and fifth. Michael Phelps, the 18time Olympic gold medalist who is competing in his first international championship since coming out of retirement, is due to start his program in the 100 freestyle on Friday.

Sports Former Duck Byrd hits the comeback trail for Saints MANDEVILLE, La. (AP) — Saints safety Jairus Byrd has rarely been so eager to hit and be hit, if only to reassure himself that his surgically repaired back is a healed as doctors believe. Byrd, the top free agent acquisition by New Orleans this past offseason, was cleared for contact this week, allowing him to practice at full speed and with no limitations for the first time since signing a sixyear, $56 million contract in March. His first significant collision in a black-and-gold jersey occurred Tuesday, when he lowered his shoulder into running back Mark Ingram. The popping of their pads reverberated across the field, and Byrd appeared pumped up. Now his goal is to play his first preseason game this Saturday night in Indianapolis.
“Yes, it felt good,” Byrd said of his first hit in practice. “I feel good, thank God.” Saints coach Sean Payton said coaches are eager to see Byrd on the field in a game situation this weekend. “We want to get him functioning with the defense and get him up to speed,” Payton said. “He is pretty sharp, so I think mentally he has been on top of everything with meetings ... but now (his clearance for contact) gives him the ability to play.” Byrd said it was hard to be patient while he watched teammates run 11-on-11 drills without him, but stressed that the Saints medical and training staff approached his rehabilitation with an abundance of caution. “They wanted to make sure and take it slow,” he said. “They cleared
Bell and Blount face pot charges PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount will be charged with marijuana possession following a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon. Ross Township detective Brian Kohlhepp said traffic officer Sean Stafiej pulled over a Camaro operated by Bell around 1:30 p.m. after Stafiej, who was on a motorcycle, noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Stafiej found a 20 gram bag of marijuana inside the car. Bell, Blount and a female passenger all claimed ownership of the marijuana according to police. Bell, 22, was taken to a hospital to have blood drawn and is expected to be charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. Bell, Blount and the female passenger were
arrested and released. All three are expected to receive notice of formal charges through the mail said Kohlhepp. The possession and DUI charges are both misdemeanors. The Steelers play a preseason game in Philadelphia today. Bell and Blount, a former University of Oregon player signed as a free agent in the offseason, were expected to see significant playing time in the main tuneup for starters before Pittsburgh’s Sept. 7 opener against Cleveland. “We are aware of the reports and still gathering information,” Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said. “We will have no further comment at this time.” Bell set a franchise record for total yards by a rookie running back last season, smashing the mark set by Hall of Famer Franco Harris.
me to go, so I’m just working my way back, getting used to everything, still going out there getting the contact in, doing things I need to do to make sure I’m ready by Week 1.” Byrd is expected to replace Malcolm Jenkins, a versatile free safety who started for New Orleans the past four seasons and then left for Philadelphia in free agency. The Saints did not compete for Jenkins’ services on the open market this past winter because they had their sights set on Byrd, a five-year pro who has 22 career interceptions and is coming off his third Pro Bowl. The Saints viewed the move to bring in Byrd as an important one because they’re looking to produce more turnovers. Last season, the Saints’ defense ranked fourth in yards allowed in coordinator Rob Ryan’s first year, but also produced
the fourth fewest turnovers (19) and tied for the eighth fewest interceptions (12). Byrd said he wants to play a central role in Ryan’s scheme, which routinely employs three safeties instead of the traditional two, with the third safety replacing a linebacker. Byrd first became familiar with the three-safety alignment in Buffalo under former Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, now the head coach in Cleveland. “Obviously, it is very successful,” Byrd said. “You get a different body type in the linebacker position who can do a lot more, from covering or blitzing ... and it confuses quarterbacks.” When he wasn’t able to participate fully in Saints practice, Byrd was studying the scheme and getting to know his teammates in
FXFL adds Brooklyn team NEW YORK (AP) — The FXFL developmental football league will have a team in Brooklyn and will play a six-game season in four cities this year. The Brooklyn Bolts will play at MCU Park, the home of the minor league baseball Cyclones, a Class A farm team of the Mets. They’ll join franchises in Boston, Omaha (TD Ameritrade Park) and Miami (Florida International Stadium). Each team will play the other twice. “In our minds, we needed a presence in the New York metropolitan area,” said Brian Woods, commissioner of the Fall Experimental Football League, said of placing a team in Coney Island. “We did our due diligence with regards to venues that will accommodate us and partner with us. Having the Cyclones and (owner) Jeff Wilpon and a
unique place to play, and their marketing team to help us ... it makes great sense.” Wilpon also is the chief operating officer of the Mets, and the Bolts expect to have some cross-promotions with both the major league and minor league baseball clubs. The FXFL currently has no affiliation with the NFL, but hopes to advance the talents of players, coaches, officials and front office executives. It’s something NFL football operations chief Troy Vincent said in April his league is looking into for the future. Players cut by NFL teams in the next two weeks, plus those who have not gotten a look out of college, will make up FXFL rosters. It will begin play Oct. 8 and has several regional TV networks lined up for its games on midweek nights.
hopes of having a minimal mental adjustment once he was back on the field. So far, he likes what he sees of Ryan’s scheme and the personnel the Saints have to run it. “Coach Ryan does a great job of getting guys in position to make plays. It’s up to us to go out and make the plays and do things we need to do and get the cohesiveness,” Byrd said. “Each person’s different in what they like to do, where they like to see things. ... So as long as we get together and study together as a unit, we can be as good as we want to be.” Notes: In a move aimed at fan outreach, the Saints scheduled Wednesday’s training camp practice at night at Mandeville High School, located in heavily populated suburbs on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
KICKS From Page B1 The Giants coach sees some inequity in moving extra point placements back. He rolled his eyes when asked to assess the experiment. “I didn’t think much of it when it was suggested,” Coughlin said. “There are some ways to change that part of it if the intent is to make it more exciting. I think that certainly would be one of them. “I think you have to be aware of the fact that it’s a 33-yard (kick) in November when the wind’s blowing and it’s snowing here and ... in Miami it’s 75 degrees. It’s a little different in different parts of the country.” Coughlin thought extra points would be more interesting if the ball was spotted at the 1-yard line. It might entice more teams to go for 2 points. This year, 16 2-point conversions have been tried in the preseason, with four successful. In 2013, nine were
attempted in the first two weeks of the preseason, with four successful. Indianapolis’ Adam Vinatieri, who’s won four Super Bowls as one of the NFL’s best clutch kickers, made all three of his PATs this summer. He agrees with Coughlin that weather can be a factor “when conditions get crummier” and thinks longer kicks might lead to more 2point attempts. “I think it could impact the outcome of games and you may see more teams go for 2 in those situations because they won’t want to try (essentially) a 33-yard field goal,” Vinatieri said. There are other, more drastic options that might excite the fans if not the coaches and kickers. Perhaps eliminating the kick altogether and requiring teams to go for a conversion with a play. Or, as Eagles coach Chip Kelly suggested: “I think they should narrow the goalposts if they want to make it a little bit (harder), but no one asked me.”

Sports Moore wins MVP honor in WNBA SOCCER Maya Moore put up American women top incredible numbers all season Switzerland in friendly THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
for Minnesota. Now she’s got her first WNBA MVP award. Moore earned the league’s most valuable player on Thursday, hours before the Lynx opened t h e i r Western Conference semifinals playoff series with the San Antonio Stars. “It’s a great feeling to be recognized for all the hard work that I’ve put in,” said Moore in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday night. “I think of all the people who have helped me in my journey as a basketball player. They should be recognized with this award. It means so much to have the respect of the people who watch the game and love the game.” Moore led the league in scoring, averaging a careerbest 23.9 points. She set a WNBA record by scoring at least 30 points 12 times, including in four straight games. The scoring mark was the third-highest average in league history, trailing only Phoenix’s Diana Taurasi’s 25.3 points in 2006 and 24.1 points in 2008. Moore received 35 of the 38 first place votes, surpassing Taurasi and Atlanta’s Angel McCoughtry. Los Angeles’ Candace Parker was fourth and Phoenix’s Brittney Griner finished fifth.

PRO FOOTBALL Cowboys top $3 billion in franchise value NEW YORK — The Dallas Cowboys are the first U.S. sports franchise to top $3 billion in value. For the eighth straight year, the Cowboys are worth the most of all 32 NFL franchises, according to Forbes. They’re valued at $3.2 billion; only Real Madrid at $3.4 billion is worth more among global franchises. Dallas posted the NFL’s highest revenue, $560 million, and operating income, $246 million. That was far ahead of second-place New England, worth $2.6 billion and with $428 million in revenues, $147 million in operating income. But the Patriots had the biggest increase since last year, up 44 percent in value. Dallas was up 39 percent. The average NFL franchise value for 2014 is $1.43 billion, the highest in the 17 years the business magazine has tracked professional football. That shows a 23 percent increase, the largest in one year since 1999.

Stewart will not have to decide on another race until the Aug. 31 event at Atlanta. Stewart has been in seclusion since the Aug. 9 incident at an upstate New York dirt track. He has not commented since he issued a statement the day after Ward’s death.

Gatlin beat Bolt on June 6, 2013, at a Diamond League race in Rome, one of the few to hold off the Jamaican sensation, who’s the world record holder in the 100 and 200. “There’s no personal animosity,” Magyar said. “The decision of the general assembly stands as this: We don’t want to give our money to athletes that have brought the sport disrepute.”

BRIDGE Cindy Crawford said, “I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest. I don’t want to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job.” At the bridge table, if you get pushy in the bidding, you had better take the play seriously to complete the job successfully. In today’s deal, West leads the
heart king against six spades. How should South play? In this modern auction, North’s fitshowing redouble indicated exactly three-card spade support. South’s three-heart cue-bid was a game-force. Four hearts was a control-bid (cuebid), showing first-round control in that suit and expressing slam interest. Four no-trump was Roman Key Card Blackwood, the reply indicating three key cards (here, two aces and the spade king). South would like to draw trumps and establish dummy’s club suit by cashing the ace and king and ruffing down the queen. However, even if that worked, there would be no immediate dummy entry to get to the last three clubs. Instead, South must hope West has the club queen. South wins with his heart ace and cashes the spade ace. But then he must not proceed too quickly. When West drops the 10, declarer must carefully unblock dummy’s nine. Next, South plays a spade to dummy’s queen, finesses his eight on the way back, and draws East’s last trump. Finally, declarer runs the club 10 and makes his contract. He takes five spades, one heart and six clubs.
